The horse is out of the barn.
We all think this guy's
leaking secrets to the Russians.
Yeah, but we haven't proven that yet.
And Captain Macho here
just jumped the gun
and put my counterintelligence
case in jeopardy.
Captain Macho says screw your case.
National security trumps domestic law

Mr. Rice, I'm Matt Garza,
FBI Counterintelligence.
You've already met my colleague, yes?
Yeah, but I didn't get his name.
You work as a code clerk
at the Embassy is that right?
You know it is.
Never been in a CIA safe house before.
Thought it would be nicer.
A little cavalier for
a guy accused of treason.
Well, what's the expression?
- Laugh to keep from crying?
- Okay.
We have evidence that you've been
selling secrets to the Russians.
No, you don't.
'Cause I haven't.
Mr. Rice, I appreciate
the fact that you think
that you can outsmart us right now,
that you are up for this moment,
but you are an amateur.
We're professionals who break
guys like you for a living.
And if you think
the Russians have your back,
you are hopelessly naive,
because you are a liability to them now.
But if you tell us everything you know
about their intelligence network
here in Panama,
you might be able to breathe
a little free air again
before you die.

[SIREN WAILING]
[RINGTONE PLAYS]
Hey, boss.
Simone, listen, there's no time.
I'm in Washington, D.C.
I'm about to get arrested, and
I need to tell you two things.
Pomona Eddie and A Fish Called Raven.
You got it? You trust
no one but the team, okay?
[SIRENS WAILING]
Let me see your hands, Matt.
Miranda, you got this all wrong.
How many times have
you heard a suspect say that?
[SIGHS]
Okay, it sounded weird coming
out of my mouth, but it is the truth.
I hope so. Because you're
under arrest for espionage.
- BRENDON: I don't understand.
- SIMONE: I don't either.
All I know is that Garza
called me at the crack of black
and said, "Pomona Eddie
and A Fish Called Raven."
What does that even mean?
- And why did he call you?
- Seriously.
Uh, because I'm his favorite?
Ah, that is not true.
Can we focus on the mystery at hand?
I mean, does anyone have
any idea what this is about?
Okay, Matt said Pomona Eddie,
which is a nickname for Edwin Gomez.
He was the subject
of a fraud investigation
and insisted that he was being framed.
And it turned out he was.
Okay, so Garza's telling us
he's being framed, too.
But what about the second part?
A Fish Called Raven?
It's an episode of "That's So Raven."
I-I auditioned
for that show a few times.
But why would he be talking
about a Disney show?
And what crime could Matt
possibly be framed for?
You know, he did work
counterintelligence
for a decade before he
came out to Los Angeles.
And there was always rumors that
he was connected to some op
that went epically wrong.
Yeah, but if they were only rumors,
then the Bureau buried it deep.
So are we thinking that case
has come back around?
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
Elena. What did you find?
ELENA: It's DEFCON 1 here.
Some kind of counterintelligence
emergency,
but everyone's too scared to talk to me.
What was Matt doing in D.C.?
I don't know.
I had no idea he was going.
Air support said he called them
out of the blue last night.
Touched down at five in the morning.
Chiles has an office full of VIPs.
And I heard a whisper that
there's a high-value individual
squirreled away up on the sixth floor.
Okay, Elena, we need you
to work your sources
in the assistant network
Promise them anything and everything.
We have to know what is going on.
I'm on it.
Elena.
[SIGHS]
Elena, I need to talk to you.
Elena!
So what's our play?
If Garza is under investigation,
then we have to assume that we are, too.
They'll want to
interview us at a minimum.
- And at a maximum? What?
- Polygraphs?
Suspension until the
investigation is closed?
We need to split up.
You want inside or out?
In. Simone and I will
head into the office,
and work the case from there.
All right. Drop us off.
We'll set up somewhere off the grid,
and we won't tell you where,
so that you, you know,
- don't have to lie.
- So how do we communicate safely?
You know they're gonna be
all up on our phones
since they're investigating Garza.
Well, I have a private
ClipTalk account

I'm about to get into it.
Let me know the moment
any of Garza's team surface.
Good morning.
I'm Special Agent in Charge
Tracy Chiles.
MIRANDA: Tell me about Panama.
Really? You don't want to talk about
what we found in the trunk of that car?
Oh, we'll get to that.
For now, let's talk about Panama.
No one wants to talk about Panama,
and you don't have the clearance.
Nice try, but you know
that I'm fully read in.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have
assigned me to investigate you.
- Tell me about Panama.
- It's all in the file.
No, it's not. The file's incomplete
Almost as if someone scrubbed it.
Yeah, well, I don't know
anything about that.
Clearly, someone is trying to set me up.
So if you can just loop me in,
I can figure out who it is.
Ah. [CHUCKLES]
It was worth a shot.
What do you want to know?
Start at the beginning.
Tell me about George Rice.
George Rice.
Rice was the Embassy
code clerk in Panama.
He had been in country
for a year before we even
started suspecting
that he was up to no good.
- Who's we?
- The FBI, the DIA, the CIA.
They were the ones who had HUMIN
that someone on our side
had been compromised.
So I flew down to Panama.
Hey, I'm Matt Garza.
And it's nice to meet you, too.
Don't take it personally.
Link's annoyed we have to go
through this whole due process thing.
If Link had his way,
he'd just snatch
our targets off the street.
- Alan Brady.
- Oh.
Defense Intelligence Agency.
It's nice digs we got here, huh?
As top-secret illegal safe houses
in supposedly allied countries go,
it could be worse.
- Come meet the boss.
- Right.
Parate, parate, parate, parate ♪
Excuse me.
Are you the LEGAT?
Camilla Nava.
Have you been fully briefed?
I was handed a plane ticket
and this address, so, no.
George Rice.
Code clerk at the Embassy with access
to code-name level military secrets.
The CIA has circumstantial Intel
he's been selling those
secrets to the Russians.
Oh. And we need proof before we can act.
Which is why you called for me, huh?
Not you specifically.
I just asked for the best
investigator they had.
Well, you got him.

Y lo que falta por sufrir ♪
Okay.
And you pretty much know
what happened after that.
Six months of an investigation
that broke so bad,
every single agency disavowed it.
Everyone disavowed it because
there was talk of a mole.
People think that someone
tipped off the Russians
to the location of the safe house.
You think that someone is me?
Miranda, please.
Don't you see what's going on here?
Think. Hm?
It's been five years.
Why is this coming up now?
You tell me, Matt.
Some ghosts never stop haunting you.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
You need to listen to me, Simone.
We both want to help Garza,
but we've gotta be smart about it.
We can bend the rules, but we
can't break them. And we cannot lie.
That is the biggest sin in the Bureau
and the quickest path
to getting fired or worse.
- Do you understand?
- Bend, don't break. Got it.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
I need to be fast.
There are two PSS goons
upstairs waiting for you
while their friends take apart
my Tío's office.
Is there anything for them to find?
Not unless they uncover the
secret compartment in his desk.
He thinks I don't know about it.
CARTER: The PSS crew is pretty thorough.
They'll find it if they know to look.
Then we never had this conversation.
Is there an update on our mystery guest?
No. Still digging.
Do you think my Tío's gonna be okay?
It's too soon to tell.
She deserves honesty, not platitudes.
Brendon is gonna post a contact number
on his lurker ClipTalk account.
- VampireLover51.
- How do you

He'll be questioned somewhere else.
Hey, girl, hey.
You know what? [CHUCKLES]
I was thinking, your shoe game
does not get enough respect.
Stop.
Simone, what Garza is accused of
carries a death sentence.
We know he called you
from D.C. this morning,
which makes you a potential conspirator.
If you don't cooperate fully,
you're going to prison.
Hey, no need for threats.
We are on the same team here.
Go Feds! I mean Ask me anything.
Did Garza give you an order
when he called you?
I need exact details.
No, not an order, but definitely clues.
The first one was "Pomona Eddie."
- Safe words?
- Code words.
Go look up his fraud case
with Edwin Gomez.
There's gonna be a clue there
that Garza's being framed.
And second, he said
"A Fish Called Raven."
- What does that mean?
- I'm not sure,
but I'm guessing it has something to do
with Garza working
counterintelligence in Atlanta.
That's like espionage central.
So there's probably some tie in
to the whole Raven thing.
But y-you got his file right there.
Check it out.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Maybe it has something
to do with Camilla Nava?
- Clever.
- I learned that one from Garza.
- All right, who is she?
- No.
I'm the one asking the questions.
What was Garza doing in D.C.?
I [SCOFFS] honestly don't know.
M-My part in Garza's story
started when he called me this morning.
And why did he call you?
You're just a trainee.
I could clown and say
it's 'cause I'm cute,
but I honestly don't know.
What aren't you telling me?
Ma'am, I'm telling you everything.
If Garza says he was framed,
he was framed.
And you should do everything
you can to try to help him out.
The only thing I should do is
investigate this case with impartiality.
And how are you gonna do that
when you got a hate-on for the man?
[SIGHS] Yeah.
The next time we speak,
you're gonna be hooked up
to a polygraph.
In the meantime, go back to your desk
and don't try to leave the building
without my express permission.
And where are Laura and Brendon?
They're not answering the phones.
I don't know. And that's the real.
Hey, Smitty.
Sergeant Grey says you guys
can set up shop
in Interrogation Room A.
Oh, great. Tell him thanks.
It's got a bit of a rat problem.
Or maybe don't.
The phone line you asked for
is on the desk.
What kind of case you working, anyway?
Thanks for your help.
LAURA: Okay.
The first thing we need to figure out
is what kind of trouble
Garza is actually in.
How are we gonna do that?
The investigation's
based out of the D.C. office.
What are you doing?
Calling in a favor.

You want me to find out what
evidence they have against him.

We worked together in Panama.
And we were sleeping together,
but you already knew that
or else you wouldn't be
trying to catch me in a lie.
- Why didn't you disclose it?
- No one ever asked.
And it didn't matter.
When did it start?
MATTHEW: Over the past three months,
I've been racking up
frequent flyer miles for nothing
because the CIA won't

MIRANDA: Was it serious?
It was for me.
Then you betrayed her
and your country
to the Russians for what, money?
Didn't happen, and you need
a refresher course
on questioning high-level suspects
because that was ham-handed.
If you're so innocent,
then why fly to D.C.
in the middle of the night
on a moment's notice?
I received an anonymous phone call
from someone using a voice modulator
claiming to have new Intel
on what went down in Panama.
I was given the address of a parking lot
and the car's plate number.
Or you were called with a warning
'cause someone was gonna snitch on you
- and you were just trying to run.
- That's not what happened.
Then how do you explain what we
found in the trunk of that car?
LAURA: It's really bad.
Atlas found out that Garza
was busted in D.C.
grabbing go-bags full of
$2 million in cash
and several forged passports.
That's a lot of money to
sacrifice for a frame job. Right?
It's a steal when the
alternative is a firing squad.
Well, whatever is going on
is connected to Camilla Nava.
She was the LEGAT in Panama
when Garza worked down there.
Her file says she died five
years ago in a car accident.
ELENA: That's clearly a cover story.
Cats got nothing on you.
Gotta walk between the raindrops.
The SAC has the PSS goon squad
on the lookout for me.
Did you find out who's lying about Garza
- up on the sixth floor?
- No.
None of the assistants are in the know.
- And that's, like, a first.
- Damn.
Garza's being framed
for a case five years ago
that resulted in this woman's death.
We need to figure out
what happened on that op.
And decipher what he meant by
the "That's So Raven" reference.
Wait. What did he say exactly?
He said "A Fish Called Raven."
You know what it means?
Well, in eighth grade,
I had a terrible flu,
and Uncle Matt took the week off
to stay home with me.
We binged every episode
of "That's So Raven."
And in my favorite episode of all time,
Eddie heroically
gives up the ball to Gino
to shoot the winning basket.
Tío used to always tell me
when 33 and 40 worked as a team,
there's nothing they couldn't do.
Garza already told us not to
trust anyone outside the team.
It's gotta mean something else.
3-3-4-0.
That has to be the combo to the
hidden compartment in his desk.
I bet Garza kept his own records.
All we need to do is
sneak into Garza's office,
access his secret drawer in his desk
All without being seen
by the security specialists
who are guarding it.
Is that all?
Ready to bend some rules?
You need to distract them
long enough for me to sneak in
and find Garza's secret compartment.
I thought I was gonna
be the one sneaking in.
You're still a probationary agent.
You get caught, you're fired. But me?
Well, I'll actually be fired, too.

make a much better distraction.

Carter and Simone
got Garza's Panama file.
It's worse than we thought.
LAURA: Garza was a part of a task force
investigating a mole
in the State Department
George Rice.
They were questioning him
in a CIA safe house
when Russian Special Ops
stormed in, captured Rice,
and killed the LEGAT, Camilla Nava.
No wonder everyone buried this so deep.
Well, clearly, someone
on our side's working with Rice
and leaked the safe house location.
Yeah, and the Bureau
thinks that someone was Garza.
Which is all horrifying,
but we need actionable Intel
if you're gonna prove Garza's innocence.
Well, how about this?
Garza's notes show that he spent
the last five years
investigating Adam Link,
the CIA Case Officer overseeing
the spy hunt in Panama.
Yeah, that makes things ten times worse.
The Agency's impenetrable.
Well, Link doesn't work
for the Agency anymore.
Langley bounced him
shortly after the mission.
He's since gone private,
and his client list
is a who's who
of international scumbags.
- Any hard evidence?
- Circumstantial.
But Garza got a tip a few weeks ago
from a source in the State Department
that Link got his hands
on some stolen confidential documents.
Why hasn't he been arrested?
I guess Garza felt
he needed an ironclad case.
M-Maybe Link found out
he was closing in on them,
decided he would be the fall guy?
Yeah, and Link would have the resources
and the tradecraft to pull it off.
So he's gotta be the mystery man
on the sixth floor then, right?
Driving the final nail
into Garza's coffin?
You know, if Link's upstairs,
now would be a pretty good time
to search his house,
prove he's the real traitor.
I mean, with the Intel
we got from Garza,
we might have enough
to get a search warrant.
Maybe, but you can't call in a warrant
without getting the SAC's attention.
You're right. We can't.
But you can.

of the sixth floor
where our mystery witness
has been locked away.
At 5:00 a.m., he walks through
the front doors,
announces himself,

Why would the alarms go off

Wait! T-That's George Rice.
He's supposed to be in Russia.

We're here because you're framing Garza,
not the other way around.

Gun. Down. Now!

possession of top secret documents.

Well, you're gonna have to tell us
something to exonerate yourself.
Otherwise you're leaving here

Look, I know Garza's been trying
to pin Panama on me for years.
But that op wrecked my life.
We lost Rice, Camilla was killed
All on my watch.
After that, I spiraled.
Got drunk for a year

Okay, we're gonna need
more than a sob story
to convince us that you
didn't set up our boss.

because that was ham-handed.
If you're so innocent,
then why fly to D.C.
in the middle of the night
on a moment's notice?
I received an anonymous phone call
from someone using a voice modulator
claiming to have new Intel
on what went down in Panama.
I was given the address of a parking lot
and the car's plate number.
Or you were called with a warning
'cause someone was gonna snitch on you
- and you were just trying to run.
- That's not what happened.
Then how do you explain what we
found in the trunk of that car?
LAURA: It's really bad.
Atlas found out that Garza
was busted in D.C.
grabbing go-bags full of
$2 million in cash
and several forged passports.
That's a lot of money to
sacrifice for a frame job. Right?
It's a steal when the
alternative is a firing squad.
Well, whatever is going on
is connected to Camilla Nava.
She was the LEGAT in Panama
when Garza worked down there.
Her file says she died five
years ago in a car accident.
ELENA: That's clearly a cover story.
Cats got nothing on you.
Gotta walk between the raindrops.
The SAC has the PSS goon squad
on the lookout for me.
Did you find out who's lying about Garza
- up on the sixth floor?
- No.
None of the assistants are in the know.
- And that's, like, a first.
- Damn.
Garza's being framed
for a case five years ago
that resulted in this woman's death.
We need to figure out
what happened on that op.
And decipher what he meant by
the "That's So Raven" reference.
Wait. What did he say exactly?
He said "A Fish Called Raven."
You know what it means?
Well, in eighth grade,
I had a terrible flu,
and Uncle Matt took the week off
to stay home with me.
We binged every episode
of "That's So Raven."
And in my favorite episode of all time,
Eddie heroically
gives up the ball to Gino
to shoot the winning basket.
Tío used to always tell me
when 33 and 40 worked as a team,
there's nothing they couldn't do.
Garza already told us not to
trust anyone outside the team.
It's gotta mean something else.
3-3-4-0.
That has to be the combo to the
hidden compartment in his desk.
I bet Garza kept his own records.
All we need to do is
sneak into Garza's office,
access his secret drawer in his desk
All without being seen
by the security specialists
who are guarding it.
Is that all?
Ready to bend some rules?
You need to distract them
long enough for me to sneak in

Carter and Simone
got Garza's Panama file.
It's worse than we thought.
LAURA: Garza was a part of a task force
investigating a mole
in the State Department
George Rice.
They were questioning him
in a CIA safe house
when Russian Special Ops
stormed in, captured Rice,
and killed the LEGAT, Camilla Nava.
No wonder everyone buried this so deep.
Well, clearly, someone
on our side's working with Rice
and leaked the safe house location.
Yeah, and the Bureau
thinks that someone was Garza.
Which is all horrifying,
but we need actionable Intel
if you're gonna prove Garza's innocence.
Well, how about this?
Garza's notes show that he spent
the last five years
investigating Adam Link,
the CIA Case Officer overseeing
the spy hunt in Panama.
Yeah, that makes things ten times worse.
The Agency's impenetrable.
Well, Link doesn't work
for the Agency anymore.
Langley bounced him
shortly after the mission.
He's since gone private,
and his client list
is a who's who
of international scumbags.
- Any hard evidence?
- Circumstantial.
But Garza got a tip a few weeks ago
from a source in the State Department
that Link got his hands
on some stolen confidential documents.
Why hasn't he been arrested?
I guess Garza felt
he needed an ironclad case.
M-Maybe Link found out
he was closing in on them,
decided he would be the fall guy?
Yeah, and Link would have the resources
and the tradecraft to pull it off.
So he's gotta be the mystery man
on the sixth floor then, right?
Driving the final nail
into Garza's coffin?
You know, if Link's upstairs,
now would be a pretty good time
to search his house,
prove he's the real traitor.
I mean, with the Intel
we got from Garza,
we might have enough
to get a search warrant.
Maybe, but you can't call in a warrant
without getting the SAC's attention.
