The Truth Will Out

Previously on AMC's Rubicon Espionage.
Most people can't see it for what it is A gift His car stood there where he supposedly left it.
- Supposedly? You think he knew he was gonna die? - You mean if I think he was murdered? - Yes.
Why would Tom leave me a bad investment two days before he killed himself? - I don't know.
- You still don't believe me.
Those two men are unknown.
I have to know who they are.
I'm offering you my help.
Who is that? That woman that he is talking to? Tanaz? I looked into Edward Roy.
Atlas is who he's working for.
What do you imagine Atlas is up to? Code embedded in crossword puzzles.
I wrote them.
It's not just your apartment.
They're monitoring you here.
Upstairs.
Come on, let's go.
Over here.
Can you tell me what's missing? They didn't take anything.
And you're certain they were in this room? You heard them? Yes, of course.
Sometimes, Mrs.
Rhumor, in large houses like this, in the middle of the night, you know, you can hear things.
Um, maybe an animal.
Officer, I did not call you out for an animal.
We'll be happy to file a report for you if you find anything missing.
There were men in my house.
They were looking for something.
Because my job is important.
I didn't say it wasn't.
Uh, I thought Magda was gonna, uh, tape the thing.
Lisa, I can't leave in the middle of the day.
I know what I said.
Because sometimes I make decisions that save peoples' lives.
I said sometimes.
Yeah.
I'll be there.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Yes.
Jesus.
Lisa, I said it, didn't I? I'll see you at 1:00.
Do you have 856? Morning.
Do you? You were the last one with it.
Oh.
Damn it! You lost a classified file? It's not lost.
It's somewhere.
This is why we have protocol.
Because you are incapable of not losing things.
Feeling a little light sensitive? Bite me.
Do you have 856? 856 of what? The file.
File XJ9 dash eight-five-six? I just got here.
Can I sit? Five minutes.
Okay.
Good morning, and where are we with the guests from the wedding? Well, Miles flagged a woman named Tanaz Sahar.
We got some background on her in the overnight.
She runs the Afghan rehabilitation foundation.
We looked into this NGO a couple weeks ago, decided it was clean.
They've got ties to a handful of local warlords, but publicly, they denounce the Taliban.
When Tanaz showed at the wedding, we took another look.
Turns out, our friend George Sorry.
Turns out, our friend George has funneled over a million dollars into a Will, can I I can I I need to talk to you.
Turns out, George has funneled over a million dollars.
Into her NGO, all in micro-donations, $2,000 and below, unlike his big, splashy donations to UNICEF and Greenpeace.
Which suggests that George wants to keep his ties to Tanaz off radar.
Moving in.
Dewey, take three.
May I have your attention, please? This building is under lockdown.
We ask that all teams remain quarantined in their conference rooms.
All classified material must be relinquished to the FBI for the duration of our investigation.
Until further notice, all work must cease.
Will, Spangler wants to see you.
Please remain in the conference room.
What's going on? Step back, ma'am.
API is now under security lockdown.
Come on, Will.
Join the fun.
The FBI has determined that there is a leak inside API.
An idea which I, based on my career-long interaction with the FBI, have determined is full of shit.
I hope, for your sake, you're right.
I know you all barely know each other.
We like to keep it that way.
Over the next couple of hours, keep in mind, you are, in fact, a team.
You work in the service of this country.
The work we do is important, And we will not be distracted by a bureau who could not find a mole if it were cardboard box on their doorstep.
Now, go back to your people.
Don't make me look bad.
You were right.
There's a bug in my office.
Not here.
Not today.
Who put it there? Go back to your team, Will.
Sit tight, don't anything stupid.
Spangler has a paperweight on his desk from Atlas MacDowell.
Atlas hired Edward Roy.
Who are we working for? I need to use a phone for one second.
No phones.
I just need to call my wife.
You can monitor me if you want to.
No phones, sir.
My daughter's school play starts at 1:00.
She's playing an asparagus.
I promised I'd be there.
T no calls, no computers.
.
No one goes in or out.
Who are they? Polygraphers.
Ooh, we're gonna get polyed.
All of us.
You know, if we're attacked, and my guys are sitting around staring at each other, that'll be on you.
Please try to relax.
When I was in OPs, I watched three different KGB agents beat the polygraph.
They must not have had a very good polygrapher.
And I suppose you are a very skilled polygrapher.
We can wait until you're relaxed.
I have a resting heart rate of 46 beats per minute.
I'm always relaxed.
My wife is going to eviscerate me.
Al she's going to tell the kids we're going for a drive, and then, Thelma and Louise me off a cliff.
Oh, she sounds lovely.
No, she is, actually.
She's great.
Convincing.
So who do we think is behind the leak? No way it's the Russians.
Chinese, maybe? Too easy.
Saudis? We've, uh, got a couple of translators look like they'd be willing to sell to the highest bidder.
That's racist.
I was talking about Benji, actually, and he's a-a white dude from Cincinnati, so maybe you're the racist.
Iran? That would not be awesome.
It could be anyone.
He speaks.
Anyone is scarier than Iran.
Anyone is scarier than China.
Or Saudi Arabia or Russia, because those places have governments we understand.
But anyone could be some guy with a pipe bomb in the middle of the new York city subway while your kids are going to school.
Jesus, Miles.
- What's wrong with him? - He's the leak.
She's kidding.
I'm fine.
Do we have travel records for Tanaz? This chick has got to be funding something evil through her organization, right? If we could see who she's been meeting with FBI took everything.
So we're just supposed to sit here? Get used to it.
Margaret Young? You'll be fine.
Just tell the truth.
Sir, if you could just call my wife for me.
Or send her an e-mail.
In the last five years, have you been sexually involved with any foreign nationals? I'm sure I have.
It's been a really good five years.
A man? How many of these things have we done, Mooney? I take my job very seriously.
I have done nothing for which I am embarrassed or ashamed, and I do not lie.
If you insist on conducting this exam, do me the courtesy of acknowledging that we're both wasting our time.
Are there analysts you manage here who are capable of running a covert operation? No.
Well, folks, the curtain just rose on the sacred heart production of Mr.
McNulty's vegetable farm.
I am officially pronouncing myself dead at 1:03 P.
M.
Miles.
Miles? You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Well, your leg says otherwise.
I, uh I need a cigarette.
And then another one.
Human beings are the only species that can build fires, cook food and harm at a distance.
Certainly, we can figure out what Tanaz Sahar is up to without documents.
She's a woman, she runs an NGO, she attended a wedding.
That's what we know without documents.

Fiedler.
I-I-I never meant to There will be some kind of disciplinary action.
With a little luck, a week suspension without pay.

That's standard for a breach of protocol as serious as this.
I'm not the leak? You're not the leak we're looking for.
You know, Fiedler It's the best part of the job.
You're not supposed to take it home with you.
It's got to be money for an op, right? The donations are definitely dirty.
Why else would they be so erratic? It would be smart to pick an NGO with ties to the west, for obvious reasons, but Grant.
Whatever happened to you in there, snap out of it.
Long day.
Yeah.
You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.
You? A little scared, but You have nothing to worry about.

So, who is she, then? Former lover? Just your typical terrorist sympathizer former lover.

Uh, t-take another one.
Now, get the hell out of my building.
You're done here.
So security will escort you through the exit protocol.
Jerry's team was tracking cyber-terrorism in the financial sector.
An analyst on that team was using his access to sec data to get rich.
I trust no one else in this room has a leak on their team? Well, barring the embarrassing possibility that one of you has admitted to bestiality or murder It appears we've made I through relatively unscathed.
Now, go home, kiss your children.
If Tanaz is the third person in the photo and she is connected to both George and Yuri Therefore She could have access to Yuri's weapons resources.
We need to check Tanaz's travel records with the meeting.
Already on it.
Grant, if you need to get home I'm already dead.
Who cares if she mutilates the corpse, right? Mmm.
Jesus.
This chick's bouncing all over the world.
I have her in London, Dubai, Kabul, Kurdistan I've got her in Sofia the night of the original meet.
So, she's the third party in the Sofia photo.
She's the third.
Hot damn.
Oh, we're good.
Wow.
Oh Oh, I'm buying myself a cupcake.
The question is, who gets to present? Uh, I did figure out it was a woman.
Spangler's running some kind of unsanctioned op.
They used your crossword code.
David, you have to allow for the possibility of coincidence.
You know better, ed.
There's always a why.
If Will comes to you Why would he come to me? If he does Ed, if he tries, tell him to leave it alone.
David.
Stay off the phones.
They're following me.
Oh Oh, God.
There's someone
