- Hi, Ted, alcoholic.
- GROUP: Hi, Ted.
I was just sitting here thinking, I remember early in my recovery, that fucking pink cloud, where I was kind of just stupidly naive and thought everything was - "pretty great.
" - What's that there, Ted? Uh, no crosstalk, Cassie.
I know, but he just took - Okay? - Right.
MEETING LEADER: A reminder to everyone We don't interrupt people's shares.
[indistinct chatter.]
Look, I know it's "principles before personalities," but that guy was a dick.
- He was being a dick.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
And I ran out of Hot Tamales.
My body is still craving sugar every single day.
I'm not saying I'm gonna eat all these donuts but I'm definitely gonna eat all these donuts.
The curse of giving up booze.
You're my sponsor.
Say something wise.
I thought I was acing recovery once, until I burned my house down.
[coughs.]
Jesus, Brenda, why does every one of your stories have to end in some horrific trauma? I'm your sponsor because it helps me with my own recovery.
If you want to eat the donuts, eat the donuts.
Thank you for that advi Hi.
Your share today really touched me.
I just - wanted to say hi.
- Aw! [chuckles.]
Oh, my God, my boyfriend would love your necklace.
No, I love your necklace.
I think my boyfriend I'm working on being less codependent.
It's okay.
Don't apologize.
I we're here because we're working on things, right? It's Jenny, right? I'll tell you where I got it if you want.
I'll go get my phone.
Wow.
You've got a newbie crushing on you.
Mm-hmm.
Ready to be a role model? Yes.
Yes, I am.
♪ Okay.
Mysterious envelope.
Great.
- Hey.
- Hello.
Putting that house key to good use, huh? - How was your meeting? - Um, it was good.
I I got called out for crosstalk.
- Uh-oh.
Well, - Yeah.
Your crosstalk is what first attracted me to you.
Really? That's so weird.
I thought it was my legs that you kept staring at.
Hi! Hi.
Uh, but it was good.
You know, I got to share, and, um, I don't know, I feel like I'm in, like, a good place.
- How was your shoot? - Long.
Some energy drink.
I mean, how many ways can you photograph a can? Turns out, 72.
Seventy-two! I was just gonna say that.
My question for you is, when do I get to photograph you again? Oh, come on.
Nothing's gonna be as good as this one.
I mean, I just I love this one.
I love the energy of it, you know? I mean, aren't you into it? Like "dinner can wait" into it, into it? [Kali Uchis's "telepatía" plays.]

CASSIE: Oh, my God, LA traffic is insane, but I am not late.
Mark that down in your little notepad.
If you're not early, you're late.
Okay, Benjamin, that is an impossible bar I will never be able to reach.
Also, why are we in a parking deck? The office picked it for your convenience.
I would've picked Hollywood Park Off Track Betting.
Oh, you're a gambling man.
I'm learning little bits and pieces about you.
Here's a photo of your mark in Berlin.
His name's Will Kotov.
Okay, we've been handler and asset for a few months now.
Shouldn't I know just a little more about you? No.
So we would like you to observe him on site at the hotel only.
- Did you catch that last part? - Yeah.
- Look at me, please.
- I'm looking at you.
On site in the hotel only.
That means do not follow, do not engage.
"Do not follow, do not engage.
" Got it.
You do good work, Bowden.
But we both know you have a habit off getting too involved with your marks.
Okay, that is quite the exaggeration, don't you think? - Tokyo? Madrid? - Okay.
No, no, that What about that absolutely insane stand-off you got in a Moscow restaurant you had to flee? That was not my fault, okay? That was an impulse thing.
No, scratch that.
That sounded bad.
No, it wasn't.
I just I don't get a lot on these people.
I get a photo and a name, and I'm very curious.
- Isn't that part of my job? - Bowden, if you have an operational issue - with the way the CIA assigns - I don't.
No, no, I don't.
I just I like to go above and beyond, and sometimes in the moment, I get a little - I'll stop you there.
- Yeah, you should.
You're not a CIA officer.
You are a civilian asset, emphasis on the word "civilian.
" Please remember that for your safety.
Benjamin, I hear you, and I get it, I promise.
Commit that photo to memory.
I know that you carry them on you and that's a really bad idea.
Consider it memorized.
Wait, hold on.
[clears throat.]
Now consider it memorized.
Just tell me one more thing about you.
It'll really help my process.
Do you have a dog? Do you have a cat? Where do you live? Are you married? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Come on.
♪ [gasps.]
Well, well, well.
Hello, gorgeous.
Hello, beauty.
You know, I have been seeing you a lot at LAX lately.
Are you stalking me? I took a trans-Pacific route.
I am seeing all of the sights.
I'm eating all of the fish.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm, and doing the secret work that's a secret job that we can't talk about 'cause I'm doing it, too, and it's so much fun! If I knew what you were talking about I would tell you that what you do and what I do - are two very different things.
- Right.
- And were not - BOTH: Gonna talk about it.
- You seem very put together.
- Do I? - Yeah, the bangs are a ten.
- Do you love them? - I do.
How's the man? - He's great.
Marco's wonderful.
How about your man, even though I'm convinced he's imaginary 'cause you refuse to introduce me.
I think I told you that his name is - BOTH: Justin.
- And I think I told you - he's a - Ginger! - There you go.
- Love you.
- Dinner? Soon? - Yes.
- Justin, Marco, bring 'em? - Yes.
- No.
- Okay, great.
[sighs, clears throat.]
- Hey, Jada.
- Hi, Cassie.
I'm just filling in for someone on this flight.
So you're you're on this flight, too.
It would appear as though I am on the flight.
Yay.
- I'm Seattle-based now.
- Mm.
Taking care of some family things.
- Oh.
- Look, I'm the lead on this flight.
I'm not Megan.
I know you know that, but, let's agree to no shenanigans.
[sighs.]
Listen, Jada, I quit drinking, so there'll be no problem.
In fact, I'm striving to be infraction-less.
[chuckles.]
Good for you, Cassie.
We'll be good as gold, then.
- Hey, it's Cassie, right? - Hey, yeah.
That seemed weirdly intense with Jada.
Is everything okay? Oh.
[chuckles.]
Yeah.
Thanks.
I'm doing this whole "trying to be a good person" thing.
- It's hard.
- Wow.
Good for you.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I'm Grace, I'm not a good person, but I really respect your journey.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Actually, I'm doing a bar night in Berlin.
You should definitely come.
Um, thank you for the invite, but I actually have to work when I get there.
Cool.
Wait, you have work in Germany? Uh, yeah.
It's like, uh, this computer thing.

LAX is a fucking disaster area.
Yeah, it's been under construction for years.
No one can understand it.
All right, well, whatever.
I told Max if we get buried under debris for forever, then he gets out of introducing me to his parents which he's stoked about, because he's terrified and wishes that we didn't come.
And Cassie, Annie's nervous about her job interview - and won't admit it.
- Uh, that's not true.
We're headed to your place.
Are you ready to pitch me on California? Because I am very on the fence - and already super jittery.
- All right, come on.
You're gonna crush your interview.
It's gonna be fine.
It's just, you know, Max thinks that a year of suspension from, you know, actually practicing law has made me rusty.
- Max does not think that.
- Okay, listen, honey, if I can pull my multi-car pileup of a life back together then getting yours back on track is gonna be cake.
All right, fine.
That's a fair point.
All right, listen, there's a key above the doorframe.
Just grab it, go inside.
I'll see you when I get home.
Cassie, you have to stop with the key thing.
I know, shut up, blech.
I gotta go.
Bye.

This is my husband Esteban.
Oh, my God, your hair is perfect.

I really have to go.
It was nice to meet you and thank you for flying Imperial Atlantic! BOTH: Thank you! [clears throat.]
Uh, can I have a soda water with lime, please? Thanks.
Going with an unleaded drink today? Uh, yeah, I don't drink anymore.
- So - Me neither.
- Oh.
- Yeah, this is a Coke.
- It's healthier for me.
- Oh.
[chuckles.]
So you're a "friend of Bill's"? Yes.
Yes, it's almost been, um, a year, actually.
Hmm.
Six years for me.
I don't know why I do this.
Sit in bars after I gave up drinking.
It's it's a little masochistic.
Yeah, I'm definitely breaking rules right now.
Or actually I'm breaking a lot of rules, to be honest, but, I don't know, for me, I I'm Ali.
Um, I don't know, I guess I just don't want to miss out on any excitement.
Yeah.
I'm Will.
Nice to meet you, Ali.
So, what do you think we're missing out on? Oh, man, I don't know.
The feeling of not knowing what's gonna happen, you know? That that thrill.
Yeah, I can't even tell you.
I was such a mess.
More spills than thrills.
Not great for the work life.
What, uh what do you do? I'm actually a courier.
It's a glorified messenger, really.
Don't always love it, but drinking used to help me with that.
Well, I used to be the life of every party.
You know, I guess eventually you gotta just, like, grow up and be an adult, right? You think? [phone chimes.]

- [phone intercom beeps.]
- WOMAN: Yes? Yes, they're here.
Yes, he is.
Ms.
Karlson will see you now, Mr.
Berry.
Ms.
Bowden, would you please wait here? Hi.
Benjamin's kinda sexy, huh? Holy fuck.
You should eavesdrop.
100%.
Scoot over.
See if you can hear them.
He's hot, but he might be in there trying to steal the one thrilling thing you have going.
Perfect.
Super subtle.
BENJAMIN: She's a liability.
- What kind of person would - DOT: The kind of person that wants to do this work.
How many people do you know who could wake up next to a dead body in a foreign country and get back to the US without incident? How many people do I know that would even end up in that situation at all? [sighs.]
First off, don't be nervous.
Very technically, you haven't done anything wrong here.
Right, Mr.
Berry? Very technically.
Look, I have work I need to get back to.
Excuse me.
What passes for boldness in men here is often seen as reckless in women.
It's happened to me more times than I can count, Cassie.
Trust me.
[sighs.]
Cassie, you probably don't know this, but Mr.
Berry fought to be your handler.
So we're just gonna give him some time to cool off.
I definitely did not know he fought to be my handler.
I didn't even think he liked me.
Cassie, how are you holding up? After your assignment in Germany, I mean.
Oh, I'm fi actually, I I do want to show you something.
- Okay.
- Um, so, there was this woman in Berlin Wait, um, how do you have your phone? They're supposed to take visitors' phones - when they enter the office.
- I don't know.
Sorry.
[stammers.]
Anyway, there was a woman that looked exactly like me in Berlin, and um So she gave the mark Will, the guy that died a briefcase, and I just didn't want you to think I wasn't, like, on top of it.
What exactly am I looking at here? So, I took pictures from the hotel across the street, but there was also a group of men that was in the room above them, and I swear they were listening.
All right.
The man you were observing was an informant for the CIA.
But a faulty gas main is responsible for the explosion, so, bad luck for him.
Next time, please surrender your phone when you come in.
Sorry, uh, but, um what about the woman? I mean, she literally looked exactly like me.
She had the same tattoo on her back that I have.
We can refer you to a trauma specialist if you're feeling in any way overwhelmed.
- No, I'm - Because, between us, I really couldn't make out much there.
Your adrenaline was really going and that can affect the way you see things or remember things.
And while I'm sure your tattoo is lovely, a lot of other women made similar interesting choices in their 20s.
Uh, thank you, but I'm I really feel fine and I know exactly what I saw.
Cassie, I need you to be thoughtful about how you talk about this, because if people think you're involved in any way, it would be bad.
So why don't you send me the photos of what you saw, and if I see anything actionable, I'll look into it.
Okay? Uh, um all right.
Oh, and do me a favor.
We're gonna have Imperial Atlantic temporarily ground you.
Take a few days and rest up.
Wait, wait, I'm not gonna be flying? Don't think of it like that.
We'll be in touch soon.
- Uh, thanks so much.
- Okay.
Wow, no more flights for you, huh? Fuck off.
Not you.
