XIII: The Series s01e09 Episode Script
The Bank Job
Previously on "XIII.
" I want the information from the chip in Simon's watch.
I'm sure you do, what's in it for me? The identity of the person who killed Sam Taylor.
You want to acquire the chip and at the same time take Giordino off the board? One of the files has been split into two or more parts.
Without the agency you will never get that third watch.
Do you realize the ramifications of the director of the CIA being a mole? How do you want to play this? I want to shut down his access codes, I'm guessing he's going after the second chip.
It cannot fall into his hands.
The Ex-President thinks that the key to everything is up here.
I don't happen to share that sentiment.
I figure, once I get the chip I can work out the rest of the details.
Now you're going freelance? Game's changed.
It's every man for himself.
The hit on Sam was ordered by Giordino.
Giordino? Now he's desperate which makes him more dangerous.
And more likely to make a mistake.
And when he does-- This is a Level One STOP.
By order of the President, under National Security Directive one-nine-six-A, Frank Giordino is relieved of all duties at the agency.
N.
S.
A.
Operations has the wire.
They will cover all contact and agents in the field.
You will all be debriefed.
As of now, your codes and clearances are void.
We understand this is unusual, we'll try to get you back up and running-- The moment we're certain you're not a security risk to the United States.
This is highly classified.
Anyone tweets a single word, they will be charged with treason.
Jones.
You know what to do.
Giordino's got to be making a move.
I need to know where.
Get back to me.
Tell me we have some chatter.
Well a couple of frontliners say he's approached some operatives.
But there are no bites yet.
We did surprise him however, we do have a window before he rabbits.
We have to plug those leaks.
We've located a possible dead drop location in Northern Virginia.
And I've sent a team.
They've all been fully vetted, no Giordino loyalists.
Look, Sir, I was thinking-- Absolutely not.
Sir? You were going to suggest we apprise XIII.
That's a terrible idea.
He's too volatile and it's too much of a liability to put him near a National Security leak.
Sir, I just think we need somebody who's gonna fly under the radar-- Thank you, Agent Jones.
That'll be all.
Yes, Sir.
Subject has entered the park.
Football's in play.
Outer team, maintain position.
We have a drop.
Go go go go! That's not the play, damnit I swear I just saw something.
Brioux, check it out.
Multiple I.
D.
's with RFID chips, you got your bearer bonds; Euros, Pounds Sterling, Police I.
D.
for U.
K.
, visas to Hong Kong, Dubai; dealer I.
D.
's for the Antwerp Diamond exchange.
And the Swiss Diplomatic Passport? Gimme a break.
Not enough time.
You grasping little weasel Sir, I need you to get on your knees and interlock your hands! So shoot me! Then maybe you can explain to Amos how you personally let Frank Giordino go.
Way to control the situation.
I was a secret agent.
Betrayed by my own people.
Robbed of my face, my memories, my history.
Hidden in my past is a secret that threatens all humanity.
I search for answers with nothing to hold onto but the tattoo that has become my name.
I am XIII.
You know Amos wanted you our of here in cuffs, right? Oh, I wish he'd tried.
That would have been fun.
Look, I'm just saying, tread lightly when they debrief you.
Please? You think Giordino talks to me? I'm nobody.
Your file shows three promotions and sterling reviews over the last 18 months.
All by Director Giordino himself.
That doesn't sound like nobody.
You know I would have killed him.
Giordino.
I believe you.
He ordered Sam's death.
Yeah, I know.
This-- is how Frank Giordino repays loyalty.
You will tell me everything you know about Giordino's plans, or you will rot the rest of your life in jail.
I'll leave you to think about that.
Eight hours now.
This is too slow.
Amos should know better.
'By the book' ain't going to do it.
Look-- If the stories coming out are even half true, Giordino's running this place like a candy store.
Maybe by the book is how we get our way back.
That's naive.
Where's the guy who threw me into rendition camp on a pretext? That's who we need in there right now.
This as an opportunity.
How? Every lead on Max Serle and the third watch, went up in smoke.
Not for lack of looking.
Because Giordino was fighting us.
But with Amos at the boards, who knows what information we'll have access to? Just letting him stew a little bit.
Do you have something to say? Sir, he is the one that led you to Giordino's escape kit.
And that lead you to that witness.
Did it not? Not to mention making it harder for Giordino to escape.
Yes.
We're very lucky you chose to ignore my directive.
To be fair, I had texted him before we spoke.
I want to splash some water on my face.
Who are you? What are you doing with that? This? Nothing.
But that-- That's what we call an electric-strike lock.
Apply current, and it locks down good.
'Til they reset the system, it's just you and me.
It could be three minutes.
Could be twenty.
Either way's plenty.
See this? This means I don't answer to Amos.
Or anyone.
There are conspiracies so far above your pay grade, you wouldn't believe it.
And none of them require you walking out of here.
You are all alone.
Now listen carefully-- Because I'm only going to ask this once.
Whereis Frank Giordinogoing? Our man overheard Giordino talking about 'making bank.
' He memorized a phone number.
I've forwarded it to ECHELON.
If the SIM connects anywhere on the planet, their ears will pick it up.
What is 'making bank'? Or did you not break enough arms to get that information? Giordino's got a box of secrets.
Every blackmailable thing he's ever collected.
You think you're in there? I would not push it right now.
Look, we have his I.
D.
Plan B would be for him to try and get leverage.
He will go for that box.
I wanna talk to you about what happened back there.
No you don't.
My sister loved this country-- With a fierceness and an unwavering faith.
Our politics may have differed, but-- She always put the country first.
And on that we were united.
In the dark days following my sister's assassination, there was no greater friend than Ben Carrington.
And that's why, it means a lot to me, Mr.
President-- And, um-- And to her-- That you're here today to celebrate her life and legacy.
Thank you.
Sir.
Will there be a Wally Sheridan Library, and will you go to THAT dedication, Mr.
President? Well-- President Sheridan put his country ahead of his own ambition when he stepped aside.
Which is something all Americans should celebrate.
There will be a formal ribbon cutting in the America room in fifteen minutes.
There'll be full remarks then.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
What is the meaning of your little barnstorming tour? Your deal is to lay low.
It's called free speech, Amos.
Look it up.
It's in the Constitution.
Having your sister assassinated is a rather radical interpretation of 'free speech.
' I want you to describe your relationship to Frank Giordino.
Cordial.
But not close.
You appointed him.
You retained him.
Has something happened to Director Giordino? If I find you're concealing anything about Giordino or the C.
I.
A.
, you won't be making anymore speeches.
Oh, I wouldn't be so cavalier about that.
Your negatives are rising; there are millions of anxious people out there who are looking for someone to give their fear a voice.
If those people found out what you had done, they would string you up.
But, you'd need proof, wouldn't you? And there's less of that around than you might think.
See you downstairs? There's cake.
I want you to check all the sealed files, C.
I.
A, N.
S.
A.
on the Roman Numeral thing.
I'm willing to bet all our documentation is gone.
Giordino? Put more eyes on Sheridan.
You should have done that a year ago.
Okay, Giordino.
Where are we? I've debriefed half of the Clandestine Services.
We're going to get him.
He knows our counter-evasion protocols.
He wrote the book.
XIII is convinced he's heading for a burn box.
He and Jones are trying to run it down.
Keep the circle tight.
XIII works that angle alone.
Yes, Sir.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
Sam, we wear this, you and me.
Fooled us both.
Yes, Sir.
Hey! I got a possible hit off ECHELON.
Is this 495 555 1203? I'm running a trace.
I think maybe you have dialed incorrectly.
Okay.
It's routed through Helskinki It's a Temsco switch.
Analog.
With a bit of Brandy.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
No inconvenience.
Be well.
The number dialed was 495-555-4752.
Who messes up four digits when they dial? Here's what's weirder-- There is no area code '495'.
In the US.
'495' is the area code for Russia and I'm betting '1203' is a date.
It's the day after tomorrow.
Alright.
So "Lemon" and "brandy," are grid signifiers.
This guy's giving Giordino directions.
The people Giordino can reach out to in Russia has to be a pretty small circle.
I'm running an ECHELON voice scan for Russian intelligence officers.
Give me a sec.
We have a winner.
Vasily Ivanyev, F.
S.
B.
He's essentially the Russian Giordino.
That's who's on that tape.
Nine of ten of the biggest banks in Moscow are controlled by the mob.
The tenth one-- is run by the F.
S.
B.
"You keep my secrets safe, I'll keep yours?" Honor among spies.
I never thought that was real.
Whatever's in that box, Giordino thinks it's his get out of jail free card.
He gets it, he's going to skate just like Sheridan did.
You know what? Unfortunately, that's not up to us.
Sure, it is.
'Cause whatever's in that box, We're gonna steal.
Thanks, collect me as soon as you're ready.
We're going to need a safecracker.
Old school.
How old? The Russian National Bank's at least a generation behind.
We're going to need somebody whose best years were the 1980's.
That's a pretty narrow pool.
It's going to be difficult.
Look for somebody who's already a guest of Uncle Sam.
Incarcerated.
Right.
We also need a systems guy.
What about that kid, Dillon? Giordino dropped him down a hole with the PATRIOT act wrapped 'round his neck.
I haven't been able to find him for weeks.
I have a feeling you'll ask Amos a little more nicely than I would.
Alright.
But you find the safecracker.
Yeah.
The last time I had a visitor was before the millennium.
I kind of like it like that.
What if I told you I could get your sentence commuted, you can walk out of here today? I'd say you can go to hell.
I done ten years of my twelve year bit.
I got straight with it and when I get out of here, I'm gonna get a Social Security cheque, get cable and I'm going to get fat.
You got nothing I want.
You hear me? Not even one last job? Why would you want me? It doesn't make any sense.
All the tech's different out there.
They have laser-guided whisper locks now, who needs 'em? What can I do? Buenos Aires.
Globapublica? Yeah, that was a beauty.
- Same designer.
- Really? Not top of the line.
It's right in your sweet spot.
You know just talking like this, they could tack two years onto my sentence you know.
The Feds are the client.
No way.
That's just typical.
No way, Jose.
Can't do it.
You served! Yeah, two tours.
I was in Panama.
Before that, Grenada.
That was a joke.
How'd you like a shot at going up against the Ruskies? Huh.
Let me think about it.
Okay.
Access is only during business hours, and we prefer you phone first.
That will be fine.
I'll need your number.
The bank's number is on the front.
And Mine is on the back in case you need something after hours.
Now that's customer service.
That's good.
I'll be back in five minutes.
Thanks.
Basically it's a mirror of Buenos Aires.
You're right.
How tough to get inside? Very tough- Unless you're me.
This again? Really? I don't care about your damn safe house, Jones.
You know that psycho Giordino stabbed me in the leg, right? I gotta do physical therapy now.
You know what cons do when you tell them, "Sorry, I gotta physical therapy?" Can you get me a view of the floor? Who's Greatest Generation there? That's Alf.
Alf, this is Dillon.
Dillon-- try to catch up.
Hello.
You make HIM wear a hood? Got these plans from the C.
I.
A.
They date from the early-nineties.
Alright, cool.
Setup hasn't changed that much.
So as long as boy howdy can juice the alarm, I don't see a problem.
We're golden.
Me? Whatever, dude.
I can crack an alarm with one hand use the other one to pull your oxygen tank.
My last tech had a mouth on him too.
He kept saying, what was it-- He'd "obliterated" the alarm.
Right up 'til the point it tripped.
Georgia, Delaware, Alabama and I think Florida.
Is he having a senior moment? Yeah, Florida.
That's where he's buried.
Most of him, anyway.
Guys-- Eyes on the ball here, alright? You take out the alarm? You take out the alarm this is nine hours, in and out.
Save time cause you're only going for one box.
No worrying about hauling out a bunch of goods.
You get that? We still have to beat Giordino here.
Talk later.
Is everything okay? Everything is great.
Very satisfied.
Gerhardt? Gerhardt is unavailable, Mr.
President, is there a message? This is supposed to be a direct line-- I am instructed to inform you our contact protocols must change.
Unfortunately, you're being watched round-the-clock.
Who is this? Heike.
The mobile you are using is compromised.
Please don't call with it again.
Contact must be encrypted voicemail and face-to-face only.
A new handset is being dispatched by courier to you.
I need to talk to Mr.
Gerhardt.
There are things we need to discuss.
And I can't discuss them over the phone with anyone.
Is there a message? Please remember your side may be recorded.
Certain pieces have fallen more quickly than anticipated.
Frank Giordino's replacement changes nothing.
Is there anything else? Please wait for the package before attempting contact again.
Goodbye.
I got it.
That was quick.
Russia.
Whole country uses cracked software This code's got more gaps than grandpa's memory.
You're so funny.
Dillon, stop screwing around.
What's the box number? Da, Comrade.
Giordino's box is '3-0-3-3'.
Now look there are heat and light sensors in the bank-- It's the other upgrade that's got me concerned.
Upgrade? The alarm.
It feeds a constantly changing algorithmic pattern to an offsite monitoring base.
It cycles, then transmits random frequencies and numbers the first squish.
That's going to make disabling it.
No no no-- We're not going to disable it.
We tap the alarm, hack the code, and then we bypass.
But I gotta be onsite.
They'll know if I've moved.
Any leeway? Twenty feet, maybe? Not far.
What about a van parked outside? That'd work.
I'll make a list of what I need to build the transmitter and bypass.
All off the shelf stuff.
Should take me three hours.
Construction tunnels for the Moscow subway extension run directly under the bank.
This is my favorite part the rumbling from the construction has been triggering the alarms, so they've disabled most of the motion sensors.
See what you can learn from reading encrypted emails? I don't like you, kid.
We measure 'til we're under the control box.
We drill and disable those sensors first.
I walked the whole quarter last night.
It's dead after six.
And no CCTV.
Spies like their privacy.
You call this blending in, do you? This is a Nobis "Barry", OK, Gramps? Ivan don't care if I blend.
Wow.
Access to the construction tunnels is one block down.
One padlock.
It's cake.
So drill through to bypass the alarm -- Hack the signal, send it from the van.
Drill up through the floor.
Deactivate heat and light sensors and crack the box.
What about Giordino? I've been checking every fifteen minutes.
No pops, he hasn't surfaced.
He's out there.
I'm gonna bet that he's going to be at that bank door first thing in the morning.
Alright, bank closes in ninety minutes.
Let's meet back here in two hours.
Welcome to Russia.
Get me the hell outta here.
And tell Vasily he's a lousy travel agent.
Dillon, sit tight and keep watch.
I'm firing up the lance now.
Too hot.
Alright give it a second.
You got the hammer and chisel? Yeah.
How are we doing? Not so good, I think I'm coming down with something.
Relax.
We're almost through here.
You're not using the lance? No we're close to the box.
He's worried about the heat.
Yeah, the rock's too soft here.
This thing heats up like a million degrees.
Oh.
You hear that? That's a happy sound.
Hey, Dillon-- Go.
I've isolated the com wires and stripped them.
Walk me through.
Okay.
Take the, uh Thingie, and attach the alligator clip to the blue wires.
Okay.
Done.
Alright, I'm running the decrypting.
Any time you're ready.
Hey-- Anyone else out there with a talent for breaking 512 level asymmetric encryption, step on up.
Copy.
Oh boy could this be a short robbery.
Get ready to run.
He'll get it.
I.
Am.
Your Daddy.
Ok.
I've got the algorithm.
Now when you make the bypass, there's a quarter-second delay as it cycles.
We have to hit it exactly or it will trip the alarm.
Count me down.
Threetwoone.
NOW.
Alf.
Fire up the lance.
You survived your trip my friend.
No worse for wear.
I wouldn't say that.
Normally I would have run you through Afghanistan, but I worry about that country.
Yes.
Well-- Water under the bridge.
Tomorrow, we bring you to bank.
I'm working on passports, ID-- You have cash, yes? In the vault.
Good! Tonight, I make you forget your trip.
I wish to talk to you about the Apple stock, da? Anya! Can we get into the bank early? I think it is possible to arrange.
But first, we must decide which of these ladies might brighten that face.
They're all full Russian.
They go to school.
They are happy to be here.
I'm so relieved.
Bank manager will open for us early by two hours.
I suppose two hours early will be fine.
Seven it is.
Your health! Your health! See anything out there? No, it's definitely not a hopping night in Moscow town.
It's four a.
m.
Barely enough time to get in and out.
It's going to be close.
And then what? I mean, about Giordino? Let Amos run him down.
You said you would have shot him.
Like there in the park.
I need to know you're not going to try anything.
Not with all of us at risk.
Oh no.
No.
No No! Ummayday, boss-- I think we have got ourselves a problem here-- We're about to get towed.
If the truck moves a few feet, we are boned.
I'm coming out.
Comrade.
What's the reason for? Nobis.
"Barry.
" You will be missed.
I didn't know you knew Russian.
Me neither.
I didn't feel like hiding a body tonight.
So then we were like the only way to get by security in Helsinki? One strategically poisoned bottle of vodka-- Imagine.
Half the Soviet detail.
Running to the bathroom, heaving their guts.
I miss the Cold War sometimes.
By the time I rise in ranks, pffft.
All done.
Come on, Vasily.
You have freedom now.
Freedom to buy Freedom to sell-- We traded Soviets for gangsters.
Bottle service, I keep saying bottle service.
They have bottle service in New York now, yes? I will get bottle.
Yeah, now it's your turn.
Show me what you got.
Okay the smoke will take out the vault's heat sensors.
Watch it, watch it-- How long do we have 'till the heat sensors recover? Eight minutes.
Alright, let's blind these sensors.
Better get to work.
Smell that? No matter where you go it's always the same.
Jewelry, bare bonds, tons of cash.
Eight minutes, Alf.
Yeah yeah-- My Cyrillic may be rusty.
But I do believe you sold me out.
Ahhh! Are you crazy? Do you know who he is? You help me get out of this building and I may let you live.
I thought you said we had plenty of time.
Not that much.
It's been ten years, okay? This lock is kind of ornery.
You're kinda cramping my space here a little.
Thank you.
We are in! We are in! Just like a woman you never forget.
Beautiful.
Here you go.
There's a little more activity up here with the sun up, comrades.
Sheridan's name is all over this.
Canceled cheques, bribes this thing's the motherlode.
This canceled checks matches the account that paid for my training at Bitteroot.
That means they track back to Gerhardt.
Is that a blood test? Yeah, there's another one in there.
What? It's in code.
What is it?-- Look at the name at the top.
Carrington.
No.
Look, it's just one page.
We don't know what it means.
It could be anything.
No, it's important enough to be in a box of secrets.
Copy it.
I saw the Stones this time, right? In a club, okay? It's all great but that doesn't even feel as great as this.
Sir? You need to see this.
F.
S.
B.
in Moscow is saying Vasily Ivanyev is dead.
Murdered.
They're looking for Giordino.
He was murdered? Sir, he's not getting out of Moscow.
I think you underestimate Frank Giordino.
Are we just going to let them-- We're not going to create an international incident.
The Russians are very, very cranky right now.
Giordino's made his own bed.
So we just hope he doesn't tell the F.
S.
B.
everything he knows? No.
We hope the F.
S.
B.
kills him first.
Uh, guys.
He's here.
Right now.
He's outside.
Oh, come on-- Hello? Go to two.
It's all got to go back.
No way! We came all this way.
You're the one who said we had to take away Giordino's leverage! Batteries, batteries, Batteries-- It's not about Giordino anymore.
Alright just listen to me, think about this.
We made a deal with Amos.
If we don't show up with the contents of the box-- You made a deal.
Not me.
Alright.
Think about it.
Think about Max Serle? And that third watch? We're dead in the water there alright.
Amos can help us with-- I don't work for Amos! Alright? The hell with this.
We replace everything.
We rig the cameras.
We watch what Giordino does.
If he's got dirt on Carrington, he'll go for that first.
And if he does? Then I'm going to burn them all down.
Guys? He's here.
Dillon.
Giordino is outside.
And someone's letting him into the bank.
I'm just going to put this up get a view of the box.
Listen to me, Dillon, scan for the cameras we set up.
We're on our way out right now.
No, we're not.
Not me, anyway.
You told me I had two hours.
I'm off the wagon.
I know there's some good stuff in one of these boxes.
You said I had the two hours, I'm taking the two hours.
Look Alf-- I'm sorry.
What for? Are the cameras working? Yeah, yeah-- Carrington.
The three blood tests? Why would he want those? Gerhardt's check.
It's Amos.
Uhguys? The F.
S.
B.
has turned on Giordino.
They're not protecting him anymore.
They're hunting him.
Well, that would explain that.
Look, if they catch up with Giordino, they're going to work him over.
That's what you want, isn't it? Carrington complicates things.
Guys.
We gotta go-- Listen, if we do go, you trigger that alarm.
Yeah, we do.
Floor it, Dillon.
Carrington can not be dirty.
Why not? Because Because, I believe him.
Well, I guess you have that luxury.
We photographed almost everything that was in that box, okay? We can neutralize it.
And when Giordino makes his move, we'll get him then.
Are you regretting letting him go? I didn't let him go.
He's just on borrowed time.
So you got coldcocked by a girl, huh? What's that like? Just keep it up, goof.
Just keep it up.
Alright guys, everything you used.
Coveralls, clothes into the bag.
I got to say I'm really sorry about what transpired up there.
Don't worry about it.
No, really, I got a disease.
I think I got to be calling my sponsor.
You get Stateside, do whatever you want, buddy.
Come on, let's go.
Laptop.
C'mon.
We've bonded.
Yes and because we're so close, I'm going to allow you keep a laptop with potentially classified information on it.
Come on, let's go.
What do ya do? Flash drive.
I know you've got one so just drop it in there-- Just give it to her.
The other one? Hey, I got your clothes.
How we doing here? We're almost done.
Send me a bill for the coat.
This is like doing crimes with the girl scout troop.
You'd know.
There's a gypsy cab company, two blocks east of here, owners' been paid off.
You and Alf go together.
Here's your travel docs.
There's money inside.
You're flying through Germany, fewer flags there-- There are tickets for the States waiting for you there, at a Concierge desk.
Will we see you guys there? No.
We got unfinished business.
Thanks for everything.
Yeah.
Sure.
Terrific.
I got to travel with this guy.
You and me, we should think about working together.
I'd rather knock all your teeth out.
I'd love to see you try.
Look, the Gerhardt check.
Those blood tests.
Those are good leads.
We're going to run those down, we're going to figure this out.
You'll get your try at Giordino.
Maybe not just him.
" I want the information from the chip in Simon's watch.
I'm sure you do, what's in it for me? The identity of the person who killed Sam Taylor.
You want to acquire the chip and at the same time take Giordino off the board? One of the files has been split into two or more parts.

He's too volatile and it's too much of a liability to put him near a National Security leak.
Sir, I just think we need somebody who's gonna fly under the radar-- Thank you, Agent Jones.
That'll be all.
Yes, Sir.
Subject has entered the park.
Football's in play.
Outer team, maintain position.
We have a drop.
Go go go go! That's not the play, damnit I swear I just saw something.
Brioux, check it out.
Multiple I.
D.
's with RFID chips, you got your bearer bonds; Euros, Pounds Sterling, Police I.
D.
for U.
K.
, visas to Hong Kong, Dubai; dealer I.
D.
's for the Antwerp Diamond exchange.
And the Swiss Diplomatic Passport? Gimme a break.
Not enough time.
You grasping little weasel Sir, I need you to get on your knees and interlock your hands! So shoot me! Then maybe you can explain to Amos how you personally let Frank Giordino go.
Way to control the situation.
I was a secret agent.
Betrayed by my own people.
Robbed of my face, my memories, my history.
Hidden in my past is a secret that threatens all humanity.
I search for answers with nothing to hold onto but the tattoo that has become my name.
I am XIII.
You know Amos wanted you our of here in cuffs, right? Oh, I wish he'd tried.
That would have been fun.
Look, I'm just saying, tread lightly when they debrief you.
Please? You think Giordino talks to me? I'm nobody.
Your file shows three promotions and sterling reviews over the last 18 months.
All by Director Giordino himself.
That doesn't sound like nobody.
You know I would have killed him.
Giordino.
I believe you.
He ordered Sam's death.
Yeah, I know.
This-- is how Frank Giordino repays loyalty.
You will tell me everything you know about Giordino's plans, or you will rot the rest of your life in jail.
I'll leave you to think about that.
Eight hours now.
This is too slow.
Amos should know better.
'By the book' ain't going to do it.
Look-- If the stories coming out are even half true, Giordino's running this place like a candy store.
Maybe by the book is how we get our way back.
That's naive.
Where's the guy who threw me into rendition camp on a pretext? That's who we need in there right now.
This as an opportunity.
How? Every lead on Max Serle and the third watch, went up in smoke.
Not for lack of looking.
Because Giordino was fighting us.
But with Amos at the boards, who knows what information we'll have access to? Just letting him stew a little bit.
Do you have something to say? Sir, he is the one that led you to Giordino's escape kit.
And that lead you to that witness.
Did it not? Not to mention making it harder for Giordino to escape.
Yes.
We're very lucky you chose to ignore my directive.
To be fair, I had texted him before we spoke.
I want to splash some water on my face.
Who are you? What are you doing with that? This? Nothing.
But that-- That's what we call an electric-strike lock.
Apply current, and it locks down good.
'Til they reset the system, it's just you and me.
It could be three minutes.
Could be twenty.
Either way's plenty.
See this? This means I don't answer to Amos.
Or anyone.
There are conspiracies so far above your pay grade, you wouldn't believe it.
And none of them require you walking out of here.
You are all alone.
Now listen carefully-- Because I'm only going to ask this once.
Whereis Frank Giordinogoing? Our man overheard Giordino talking about 'making bank.
' He memorized a phone number.
I've forwarded it to ECHELON.
If the SIM connects anywhere on the planet, their ears will pick it up.
What is 'making bank'? Or did you not break enough arms to get that information? Giordino's got a box of secrets.
Every blackmailable thing he's ever collected.
You think you're in there? I would not push it right now.
Look, we have his I.
D.
Plan B would be for him to try and get leverage.
He will go for that box.
I wanna talk to you about what happened back there.
No you don't.
My sister loved this country-- With a fierceness and an unwavering faith.
Our politics may have differed, but-- She always put the country first.
And on that we were united.
In the dark days following my sister's assassination, there was no greater friend than Ben Carrington.
And that's why, it means a lot to me, Mr.
President-- And, um-- And to her-- That you're here today to celebrate her life and legacy.
Thank you.
Sir.
Will there be a Wally Sheridan Library, and will you go to THAT dedication, Mr.
President? Well-- President Sheridan put his country ahead of his own ambition when he stepped aside.
Which is something all Americans should celebrate.
There will be a formal ribbon cutting in the America room in fifteen minutes.
There'll be full remarks then.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
What is the meaning of your little barnstorming tour? Your deal is to lay low.
It's called free speech, Amos.
Look it up.
It's in the Constitution.
Having your sister assassinated is a rather radical interpretation of 'free speech.
' I want you to describe your relationship to Frank Giordino.
Cordial.
But not close.
You appointed him.
You retained him.
Has something happened to Director Giordino? If I find you're concealing anything about Giordino or the C.
I.
A.
, you won't be making anymore speeches.
Oh, I wouldn't be so cavalier about that.
Your negatives are rising; there are millions of anxious people out there who are looking for someone to give their fear a voice.
If those people found out what you had done, they would string you up.
But, you'd need proof, wouldn't you? And there's less of that around than you might think.
See you downstairs? There's cake.
I want you to check all the sealed files, C.
I.
A, N.
S.
A.
on the Roman Numeral thing.
I'm willing to bet all our documentation is gone.
Giordino? Put more eyes on Sheridan.
You should have done that a year ago.
Okay, Giordino.
Where are we? I've debriefed half of the Clandestine Services.
We're going to get him.
He knows our counter-evasion protocols.
He wrote the book.
XIII is convinced he's heading for a burn box.
He and Jones are trying to run it down.
Keep the circle tight.
XIII works that angle alone.
Yes, Sir.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
Sam, we wear this, you and me.
Fooled us both.
Yes, Sir.
Hey! I got a possible hit off ECHELON.
Is this 495 555 1203? I'm running a trace.
I think maybe you have dialed incorrectly.
Okay.
It's routed through Helskinki It's a Temsco switch.
Analog.
With a bit of Brandy.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
No inconvenience.
Be well.
The number dialed was 495-555-4752.
Who messes up four digits when they dial? Here's what's weirder-- There is no area code '495'.
In the US.
'495' is the area code for Russia and I'm betting '1203' is a date.
It's the day after tomorrow.
Alright.
So "Lemon" and "brandy," are grid signifiers.
This guy's giving Giordino directions.
The people Giordino can reach out to in Russia has to be a pretty small circle.
I'm running an ECHELON voice scan for Russian intelligence officers.
Give me a sec.
We have a winner.
Vasily Ivanyev, F.
S.
B.
He's essentially the Russian Giordino.
That's who's on that tape.
Nine of ten of the biggest banks in Moscow are controlled by the mob.
The tenth one-- is run by the F.
S.
B.
"You keep my secrets safe, I'll keep yours?" Honor among spies.
I never thought that was real.
Whatever's in that box, Giordino thinks it's his get out of jail free card.
He gets it, he's going to skate just like Sheridan did.
You know what? Unfortunately, that's not up to us.
Sure, it is.
'Cause whatever's in that box, We're gonna steal.
Thanks, collect me as soon as you're ready.
We're going to need a safecracker.
Old school.
How old? The Russian National Bank's at least a generation behind.
We're going to need somebody whose best years were the 1980's.
That's a pretty narrow pool.
It's going to be difficult.
Look for somebody who's already a guest of Uncle Sam.
Incarcerated.
Right.
We also need a systems guy.
What about that kid, Dillon? Giordino dropped him down a hole with the PATRIOT act wrapped 'round his neck.
I haven't been able to find him for weeks.
I have a feeling you'll ask Amos a little more nicely than I would.
Alright.
But you find the safecracker.
Yeah.
The last time I had a visitor was before the millennium.
I kind of like it like that.
What if I told you I could get your sentence commuted, you can walk out of here today? I'd say you can go to hell.
I done ten years of my twelve year bit.
I got straight with it and when I get out of here, I'm gonna get a Social Security cheque, get cable and I'm going to get fat.
You got nothing I want.
You hear me? Not even one last job? Why would you want me? It doesn't make any sense.
All the tech's different out there.
They have laser-guided whisper locks now, who needs 'em? What can I do? Buenos Aires.
Globapublica? Yeah, that was a beauty.
- Same designer.
- Really? Not top of the line.
It's right in your sweet spot.
You know just talking like this, they could tack two years onto my sentence you know.
The Feds are the client.
No way.
That's just typical.
No way, Jose.
Can't do it.
You served! Yeah, two tours.
I was in Panama.
Before that, Grenada.
That was a joke.
How'd you like a shot at going up against the Ruskies? Huh.
Let me think about it.
Okay.
Access is only during business hours, and we prefer you phone first.
That will be fine.
I'll need your number.
The bank's number is on the front.
And Mine is on the back in case you need something after hours.
Now that's customer service.
That's good.
I'll be back in five minutes.
Thanks.
Basically it's a mirror of Buenos Aires.
You're right.
How tough to get inside? Very tough- Unless you're me.
This again? Really? I don't care about your damn safe house, Jones.
You know that psycho Giordino stabbed me in the leg, right? I gotta do physical therapy now.
You know what cons do when you tell them, "Sorry, I gotta physical therapy?" Can you get me a view of the floor? Who's Greatest Generation there? That's Alf.
Alf, this is Dillon.
Dillon-- try to catch up.
Hello.
You make HIM wear a hood? Got these plans from the C.
I.
A.
They date from the early-nineties.
Alright, cool.
Setup hasn't changed that much.
So as long as boy howdy can juice the alarm, I don't see a problem.
We're golden.
Me? Whatever, dude.
I can crack an alarm with one hand use the other one to pull your oxygen tank.
My last tech had a mouth on him too.
He kept saying, what was it-- He'd "obliterated" the alarm.
Right up 'til the point it tripped.
Georgia, Delaware, Alabama and I think Florida.
Is he having a senior moment? Yeah, Florida.
That's where he's buried.
Most of him, anyway.
Guys-- Eyes on the ball here, alright? You take out the alarm? You take out the alarm this is nine hours, in and out.
Save time cause you're only going for one box.
No worrying about hauling out a bunch of goods.
You get that? We still have to beat Giordino here.
Talk later.
Is everything okay? Everything is great.
Very satisfied.
Gerhardt? Gerhardt is unavailable, Mr.
President, is there a message? This is supposed to be a direct line-- I am instructed to inform you our contact protocols must change.
Unfortunately, you're being watched round-the-clock.
Who is this? Heike.
The mobile you are using is compromised.
Please don't call with it again.
Contact must be encrypted voicemail and face-to-face only.
A new handset is being dispatched by courier to you.
I need to talk to Mr.
Gerhardt.
There are things we need to discuss.
And I can't discuss them over the phone with anyone.
Is there a message? Please remember your side may be recorded.
Certain pieces have fallen more quickly than anticipated.
Frank Giordino's replacement changes nothing.
Is there anything else? Please wait for the package before attempting contact again.
Goodbye.
I got it.
That was quick.
Russia.
Whole country uses cracked software This code's got more gaps than grandpa's memory.
You're so funny.
Dillon, stop screwing around.
What's the box number? Da, Comrade.
Giordino's box is '3-0-3-3'.
Now look there are heat and light sensors in the bank-- It's the other upgrade that's got me concerned.
Upgrade? The alarm.
It feeds a constantly changing algorithmic pattern to an offsite monitoring base.
It cycles, then transmits random frequencies and numbers the first squish.
That's going to make disabling it.
No no no-- We're not going to disable it.
We tap the alarm, hack the code, and then we bypass.
But I gotta be onsite.
They'll know if I've moved.
Any leeway? Twenty feet, maybe? Not far.
What about a van parked outside? That'd work.
I'll make a list of what I need to build the transmitter and bypass.
All off the shelf stuff.
Should take me three hours.
Construction tunnels for the Moscow subway extension run directly under the bank.
This is my favorite part the rumbling from the construction has been triggering the alarms, so they've disabled most of the motion sensors.
See what you can learn from reading encrypted emails? I don't like you, kid.
We measure 'til we're under the control box.
We drill and disable those sensors first.
I walked the whole quarter last night.
It's dead after six.
And no CCTV.
Spies like their privacy.
You call this blending in, do you? This is a Nobis "Barry", OK, Gramps? Ivan don't care if I blend.
Wow.
Access to the construction tunnels is one block down.
One padlock.
It's cake.
So drill through to bypass the alarm -- Hack the signal, send it from the van.
Drill up through the floor.
Deactivate heat and light sensors and crack the box.
What about Giordino? I've been checking every fifteen minutes.
No pops, he hasn't surfaced.
He's out there.
I'm gonna bet that he's going to be at that bank door first thing in the morning.
Alright, bank closes in ninety minutes.
Let's meet back here in two hours.
Welcome to Russia.
Get me the hell outta here.
And tell Vasily he's a lousy travel agent.
Dillon, sit tight and keep watch.
I'm firing up the lance now.
Too hot.
Alright give it a second.
You got the hammer and chisel? Yeah.
How are we doing? Not so good, I think I'm coming down with something.
Relax.
We're almost through here.
You're not using the lance? No we're close to the box.
He's worried about the heat.
Yeah, the rock's too soft here.
This thing heats up like a million degrees.
Oh.
You hear that? That's a happy sound.
Hey, Dillon-- Go.
I've isolated the com wires and stripped them.
Walk me through.
Okay.
Take the, uh Thingie, and attach the alligator clip to the blue wires.
Okay.
Done.
Alright, I'm running the decrypting.
Any time you're ready.
Hey-- Anyone else out there with a talent for breaking 512 level asymmetric encryption, step on up.
Copy.
Oh boy could this be a short robbery.
Get ready to run.
He'll get it.
I.
Am.
Your Daddy.
Ok.
I've got the algorithm.
Now when you make the bypass, there's a quarter-second delay as it cycles.
We have to hit it exactly or it will trip the alarm.
Count me down.
Threetwoone.
NOW.
Alf.
Fire up the lance.
You survived your trip my friend.
No worse for wear.
I wouldn't say that.
Normally I would have run you through Afghanistan, but I worry about that country.
Yes.
Well-- Water under the bridge.
Tomorrow, we bring you to bank.
I'm working on passports, ID-- You have cash, yes? In the vault.
Good! Tonight, I make you forget your trip.
I wish to talk to you about the Apple stock, da? Anya! Can we get into the bank early? I think it is possible to arrange.
But first, we must decide which of these ladies might brighten that face.
They're all full Russian.
They go to school.
They are happy to be here.
I'm so relieved.
Bank manager will open for us early by two hours.
I suppose two hours early will be fine.
Seven it is.
Your health! Your health! See anything out there? No, it's definitely not a hopping night in Moscow town.
It's four a.
m.
Barely enough time to get in and out.
It's going to be close.
And then what? I mean, about Giordino? Let Amos run him down.
You said you would have shot him.
Like there in the park.
I need to know you're not going to try anything.
Not with all of us at risk.
Oh no.
No.
No No! Ummayday, boss-- I think we have got ourselves a problem here-- We're about to get towed.
If the truck moves a few feet, we are boned.
I'm coming out.
Comrade.
What's the reason for? Nobis.
"Barry.
" You will be missed.
I didn't know you knew Russian.
Me neither.
I didn't feel like hiding a body tonight.
So then we were like the only way to get by security in Helsinki? One strategically poisoned bottle of vodka-- Imagine.
Half the Soviet detail.
Running to the bathroom, heaving their guts.
I miss the Cold War sometimes.
By the time I rise in ranks, pffft.
All done.
Come on, Vasily.
You have freedom now.
Freedom to buy Freedom to sell-- We traded Soviets for gangsters.
Bottle service, I keep saying bottle service.
They have bottle service in New York now, yes? I will get bottle.
Yeah, now it's your turn.
Show me what you got.
Okay the smoke will take out the vault's heat sensors.
Watch it, watch it-- How long do we have 'till the heat sensors recover? Eight minutes.
Alright, let's blind these sensors.
Better get to work.
Smell that? No matter where you go it's always the same.
Jewelry, bare bonds, tons of cash.
Eight minutes, Alf.
Yeah yeah-- My Cyrillic may be rusty.
But I do believe you sold me out.
Ahhh! Are you crazy? Do you know who he is? You help me get out of this building and I may let you live.
I thought you said we had plenty of time.
Not that much.
It's been ten years, okay? This lock is kind of ornery.
You're kinda cramping my space here a little.
Thank you.
We are in! We are in! Just like a woman you never forget.
Beautiful.
Here you go.
There's a little more activity up here with the sun up, comrades.
Sheridan's name is all over this.
Canceled cheques, bribes this thing's the motherlode.
This canceled checks matches the account that paid for my training at Bitteroot.
That means they track back to Gerhardt.
Is that a blood test? Yeah, there's another one in there.
What? It's in code.
What is it?-- Look at the name at the top.
Carrington.
No.
Look, it's just one page.
We don't know what it means.
It could be anything.
No, it's important enough to be in a box of secrets.
Copy it.
I saw the Stones this time, right? In a club, okay? It's all great but that doesn't even feel as great as this.
Sir? You need to see this.
F.
S.
B.
in Moscow is saying Vasily Ivanyev is dead.
Murdered.
They're looking for Giordino.
He was murdered? Sir, he's not getting out of Moscow.
I think you underestimate Frank Giordino.
Are we just going to let them-- We're not going to create an international incident.
The Russians are very, very cranky right now.
Giordino's made his own bed.
So we just hope he doesn't tell the F.
S.
B.
everything he knows? No.
We hope the F.
S.
B.
kills him first.
Uh, guys.
He's here.
Right now.
He's outside.
Oh, come on-- Hello? Go to two.
It's all got to go back.
No way! We came all this way.
You're the one who said we had to take away Giordino's leverage! Batteries, batteries, Batteries-- It's not about Giordino anymore.
Alright just listen to me, think about this.
We made a deal with Amos.
If we don't show up with the contents of the box-- You made a deal.
Not me.
Alright.
Think about it.
Think about Max Serle? And that third watch? We're dead in the water there alright.
Amos can help us with-- I don't work for Amos! Alright? The hell with this.
We replace everything.
We rig the cameras.
We watch what Giordino does.
If he's got dirt on Carrington, he'll go for that first.
And if he does? Then I'm going to burn them all down.
Guys? He's here.
Dillon.
Giordino is outside.
And someone's letting him into the bank.
I'm just going to put this up get a view of the box.
Listen to me, Dillon, scan for the cameras we set up.
We're on our way out right now.
No, we're not.
Not me, anyway.
You told me I had two hours.
I'm off the wagon.
I know there's some good stuff in one of these boxes.
You said I had the two hours, I'm taking the two hours.
Look Alf-- I'm sorry.
What for? Are the cameras working? Yeah, yeah-- Carrington.
The three blood tests? Why would he want those? Gerhardt's check.
It's Amos.
Uhguys? The F.
S.
B.
has turned on Giordino.
They're not protecting him anymore.
They're hunting him.
Well, that would explain that.
Look, if they catch up with Giordino, they're going to work him over.
That's what you want, isn't it? Carrington complicates things.
Guys.
We gotta go-- Listen, if we do go, you trigger that alarm.
Yeah, we do.
Floor it, Dillon.
Carrington can not be dirty.
Why not? Because Because, I believe him.
Well, I guess you have that luxury.
We photographed almost everything that was in that box, okay? We can neutralize it.
And when Giordino makes his move, we'll get him then.
Are you regretting letting him go? I didn't let him go.
He's just on borrowed time.
So you got coldcocked by a girl, huh? What's that like? Just keep it up, goof.
Just keep it up.
Alright guys, everything you used.
Coveralls, clothes into the bag.
I got to say I'm really sorry about what transpired up there.
Don't worry about it.
No, really, I got a disease.
I think I got to be calling my sponsor.
You get Stateside, do whatever you want, buddy.
Come on, let's go.
Laptop.
C'mon.
We've bonded.
Yes and because we're so close, I'm going to allow you keep a laptop with potentially classified information on it.
Come on, let's go.
What do ya do? Flash drive.
I know you've got one so just drop it in there-- Just give it to her.
The other one? Hey, I got your clothes.
How we doing here? We're almost done.
Send me a bill for the coat.
This is like doing crimes with the girl scout troop.
You'd know.
There's a gypsy cab company, two blocks east of here, owners' been paid off.
You and Alf go together.
Here's your travel docs.
There's money inside.
You're flying through Germany, fewer flags there-- There are tickets for the States waiting for you there, at a Concierge desk.
Will we see you guys there? No.
We got unfinished business.
Thanks for everything.
Yeah.
Sure.
Terrific.
I got to travel with this guy.
You and me, we should think about working together.
I'd rather knock all your teeth out.
I'd love to see you try.
Look, the Gerhardt check.
Those blood tests.
Those are good leads.
We're going to run those down, we're going to figure this out.
You'll get your try at Giordino.
Maybe not just him.
