The Night Agent (2023) s02e06 Episode Script

1
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [MAN] State your name.
- Peter Sutherland.
[MAN] Did you know that these
individuals were foreign agents?
No, not then.
- Hey, were you followed?
- No.
But the mission is on alert
after what happened last night.
They're saying you broke one
of the guard's collarbones.
I found this on the banister.
She works with me. I'll
make sure she gets it.
- The photos Rose took, you have them?
- I didn't bring them.
We have to know what's
in those documents.
If those documents are
as important as you say,
get my family out of Iran.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[IN FARSI] Stay back.
[AZITA IN FARSI] Let's go!
[OFFICERS GRUNTING]
[AZITA] Farhad.
[IN FARSI] I'm going back
[IN FARSI] Just put
the gun down, Farhad.
[AZITA SHRIEKING]
Farhad!
[SOBBING] You killed my son!
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Yeah.
[SAMI] Things went bad.
The the brother took a shot at me.
I I had to shoot him.
[SIGHING] He's dead.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Understood.
Are they safe?
[RECEIVER CLICKING]
Yeah. Yeah, they're safe.

[MAN] Catherine.
Catherine.
- Cat.
- [CATHERINE INHALING]
[CATHERINE GROANING]
- Anything?
- [MAN] Nothing.
Maybe he slipped out while
we were doing a shift change
and ditched the car?
Anton Sidorov is an SVR agent
with a decade of
countersurveillance experience.
He wants you to second-guess
yourself. It's a game of patience.
And you're losing, kid.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CATHERINE GROANING]
[MAN MUTTERING]
If you're praying to the big
man, he's clearly not listening.
You wanna try your hand? Be my guest.

[DOOR CLOSING]
Noah, wake up. It's Anton.
[NOAH EXHALING]
- [CAR STARTS]
- [CATHERINE] He's leaving.
[NOAH] Come on. Let's go.
[DRILL WHIRRING]
[SCREW CLICKING]
Noah?
There's two unmade beds here.
I don't think Anton's alone.
[BOTH GRUNTING, STRAINING]

[MUSIC FADES]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[DOOR OPENING]
- You asked to see me, sir.
- I did. Come on in.
His name's Yuri Abramov.
He's confessing? To what?
His partner, your original
target, Anton's whereabouts.
The Pentagon breach.
Their man inside, how often they
met. Payment scheme, all of it.
How'd we break him in two days?
Well, on top of having
a shithead for a son,
Yuri's poor mom suffers
from a rare blood cancer.
We promised to get her treatment
and get the prison doc to
fit him with a glass eye.
I just thought you should
know that Noah's loss
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
wasn't for nothin'.
I'd like you to start building
a file on Yuri's FBI mole.
I I don't think I should.
This wasn't your fault, Catherine.
[CATHERINE] I think that you should
give it to one of your other agents.
One that didn't survive
off of sheer luck.
Ninety-nine out of 100 times, that
behemoth squashes you like a roach.
Yet you picked the one
scenario where you survive,
bring him in, and we
break the case open.
That wasn't luck.
I've already lost one good agent.
I'd rather not lose another.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Yuri's FBI mole?
What's his name?
[JAMIE] Peter Sutherland.
[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[NOOR] So, what next?
Your mother and brother,
they'll change planes in Istanbul
and Paris to obscure the trail.
They'll arrive in New
York tomorrow night.
So, what about me? What
should I do until then?
Once you give us the
photos, we'll arrange for you
to move to a safe house outside the
Iranian mission's restricted zone.
So I just walk away now?
Unless that's a problem?
No, it is just happening so fast.
It's almost over.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Is everything okay?
It's work. Probably
Haleh asking where I am.
I was supposed to be back
from the doctor 20 minutes ago.
- I'm going to call back.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
[DOOR OPENING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CATHERINE SIGHING]
What? What's wrong?
There was a problem.
It's Noor's brother.
- [IN FARSI] Where are you?
- [NOOR IN FARSI] Still at the doctor's.
She's running behind.
Okay, get back now!
What's wrong?
[HALEH] I just spent two hours being
questioned by Javad and his guards
about why that woman at the
party gave me a cell phone.
- Javad has footage of it.
- [NOOR] What
What did you tell him?
[HALEH] The truth.
That it was your phone.
He's waiting to speak to you,
but he thinks Bijan
and I were involved too.
They're still questioning Bijan.
Whatever happened, whatever's going on,
you have to tell Javad. Please.
[NOOR] It's just a misunderstanding.
- I'll fix it. I promise.
- [HALEH] Good
- [MUSIC FADES]
- [NOOR SIGHING]
- You have to tell her the truth.
- [PETER] We don't know how she'd react.
She could run off, she
could tell the mission.
She could destroy the pictures,
then we'd have nothing.
If only you knew what we
were up against with Foxglove.
How can I when you won't tell me?
It doesn't matter. Sami will
tell her when he picks her up.
She'll be safer that way. At
least she'll be out of harm's way.
You mean you won't be
the one to tell her?
Peter's right. It's the only way to
protect the investigation and Noor.
- Peter.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
We don't have a choice.
[ROSE SIGHING]
Hey. Uh, all good?
- I need to go back to the mission.
- Why? What's going on?
Javad has been questioning
Haleh about the party.
- He suspects she was involved.
- Noor, you cannot go back.
There's a chance they've pieced
together what you've been up to.
You do not wanna take that risk.
I won't let her suffer because of me.
Look, um, you do what
you need to do, okay?
And then just shoot us
a text when you're done,
and we'll come pick you up
and take you someplace safe.
Is everything okay?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[PETER] Yeah, it's all good.
The pictures. We need
the pictures, Noor.
- Something's going on.
- No, nothing's wrong.
I I want to talk to Rose. Alone.
Yeah. Of course.
[DOOR OPENING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
What is going on? What
aren't they telling me?
Please, just tell me.
- It's your brother.
- What? What happened?
He he was, um injured.
How?
One of the neighbors intervened
when they were leaving
and it got physical.
I don't know all the
details, but [EXHALING]
I think he might have broken his arm.
But otherwise, he's okay?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't they say anything?
They're really desperate
for those pictures,
and they weren't sure
how you would react.
- They should have said something.
- [ROSE] I know.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I have to go now. But
Um
[OBJECTS RUSTLING]
[NOOR] Here's the password.
Thank you for being honest with me.
[ROSE'S BREATH SHUDDERING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hey.
Hope it was worth it.
- Where's Noor?
- She left.
- Where are you going?
- Back to the apartment.
- Solomon Vega's still out there.
- I can't be here. I feel sick.
- Rose
- Peter, we have work to do.
[PETER EXHALING]
What is so urgent?
People violated my residence.
Americans.
Seems they were looking
for the list you sold me.
Sounds like your man needs to
improve his security protocols.
- Who gave you the list?
- We don't give up our sources.
Same as we would never
give up our buyers.
[ABBAS] But you do trust them, yes?
We do business with them, don't we?
What about these two?
This woman, this man?
Do they look familiar?
No.
I can't say they do.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[IN FARSI] He's hiding something.
[IN FARSI] He's toying with us.
The documents, where are they now?
They are in a safe place
in my desk in my room.
We should place them in my office safe.
They'll be secure there.
Okay, whatever you'd like.
Good then.
We can stop by your
residence on the way.
Of course.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CATHERINE] Drive's clean.
Moment of truth.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
The DGSE? What do the
French have to do with this?
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- What? What does it say?
- These have nothing to do with Foxglove.
- What do you mean?
- A list of Iranian dissidents living in Europe.
Names, addresses, aliases.
Useful for the Iranian
government if they want revenge.
It's completely irrelevant to us.
No, that can't be right.
You're telling me we wasted
three days working for this?
That Noor's brother is dead for nothing?
Okay, Night Actions are
never straightforward.
It'd be unusual if we
didn't hit a dead end.
Means we need to approach
this from a different angle.
But there's still a common link
between Foxglove intelligence and this.
Solomon Vega and the guy who called me.
He seemed like he was running things.
Maybe they were using
Foxglove for their own devices?
He traded it to Iran
in exchange for what?
I mean, Warren did say that Solomon
seemed like a middleman, but for who?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Maybe Solomon and his boss are
foreign assets on the Iranian payroll.
Right? They find the regime a
do-it-yourself chemical weapons kit
and a list of potential
targets. Maybe that's it.
In any case, it seems like the
only way forward is through Solomon.
Now we have a new point of contact too.
Whoever traded this DGSE intel.
These printouts are in
color, which means that
- Machine identification code.
- Exactly.
We just have to find a
picture that's close enough.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
[PETER] There you go.
Date, serial number, time.
- It's all right there.
- Yeah, it is.
Alice taught me that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Guess who taught her?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
- [PETER CHUCKLING]
- [MUSIC FADES]
[DOOR OPENING]
[MAN] Thank you, gentlemen.
If you don't mind, my client and I
have legal issues to
discuss with his son.
[GUARD] Yes, of course.
[DOOR CLOSING]
[CHAIR SLIDING]
[CLEARING THROAT]
Sloane says hello.
Which one was that again?
[TOMÁS SCOFFING]
I've traveled a long
way to be here today
because I believe there
has been a miscommunication.
Markus.
I know he's family, but you
shouldn't send a jackhammer
to do the work of a scalpel.
His approach is indelicate.
[MAN 2] I will take
indelicate over ineffectual.
What have you done
besides signing checks
and drinking with old college roommates?
That's not
[SCOFFING] I mean
Elliot was in a position to help.
It's not exactly easy getting clemency
for someone convicted of war crimes.
[MAN 2] Convicted?
On whose authority?
The United Nations bends
to the will of America.
Funny thing when the devil condemns
you for using his own hellfire.
Their hypocrisy will be exposed
in due time, I promise. But I
I cannot maneuver properly if you
won't keep your war dog in his cage.
Markus knows his limits. I set them.
Meaning what?
Surely you are not this naive.
No amount of maneuvering would
ever force them to admit the truth.
The plan was never to simply
expose their hypocrisy, was it?
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
Mm-mm.
You want to make an
example on American soil.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Why didn't you tell me?
Because it is your name on all
the accounts filled with my money.
You didn't think I'd release the
funds if you told me the truth?
You always hated hunting
when you were a boy.
You would make these
childish excuses to stay home,
to stay warm, as the men
trudged off into the cold dark.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
But when we would return home
hours later with a 14-stone boar,
guess who wormed his way to the
front to take a tusk as trophy?
All the glory, none of the blood.
It's my fault.
I indulged your mother and
allowed such weakness to take hold
when you were a pup.
Then I let her send you to England
to be educated in all the
wrong things, apparently.
And now you simply lack
the instinct required
of such an immense sacrifice.
Is that truly what you think?
No, my son, it's what I know.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
I am not the boy you once knew.
- Words are hollow things, Tomás.
- [TOMÁS] Fuck you.
How about those? Do they feel hollow?
Perhaps I'm wrong.
We shall see.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
[MUSIC FADES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JAVAD IN FARSI] Check the pockets,
inside the lining, all over.
You find anything, tell me immediately.
Noor, you're back.
[NOOR IN FARSI] Hello.
- Everything okay?
- [NOOR] Yes
I was hoping to talk to
you about something
Actually,
let's speak in my office.
More privacy.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
How was the doctor?
[NOOR] Wow, took forever.
American healthcare really is dreadful.
But I did get some medicine, thankfully.
That's good.
I wanted to clarify something from
the other night at the party
The phone Haleh found was mine.
Haleh told me you had questions.
She had nothing to do with it.
It was my mistake. I'm sorry to
have caused any alarm or confusion.
May I?
- Noor, nobody was supposed to be upstairs.
- [NOOR] I know.
It was an emergency. I had to
find a vacant bathroom because
I had a woman's trouble.
I didn't want to disrespect the rules.
So I was rushing and forgot my phone.
Did you see anyone else upstairs?
No, I was alone as
far as I could tell
Haleh mentioned an American
woman found your phone.
[NOOR] I never saw her.
And I'm certain Haleh had
no business with her, either.
Does Abbas know about any of this?
Not yet.
But
I'll have to tell him.
He's going to fire me
I think you're okay.
He has bigger issues to deal with.
Like what to tell the foreign minister
when he asks why an intruder
was snooping around his residence.
- Will he get in trouble?
- [JAVAD] Possibly.
But
Abbas has weathered worse.
What do you mean?
Shirin, his daughter.
You haven't heard?
I know they're estranged,
but what happened?
[JAVAD] She went to study abroad,
fell in love with a foreigner.
Never came back home to Iran.
Hmm.
[JAVAD] Then, she fell
prey to Western propaganda,
made false, inflammatory comments
about our country.
She not only disgraced
her nation and her family,
she set her father's career back.
Took him almost a decade to recover.
I'm
going to keep this, run some scans.
Make sure it's clean.
Thank you.
I think I'll head back,
sleep off this cold.
Let me walk you.
No, that's okay, I
Please.
[DOOR OPENING]
[KEYPAD BEEPING, CHIMING]
[SAFE LOCK CLICKING]
[KEYPAD BEEPING, CHIMING]
[LOCK CLICKING]
It would be my pleasure.
[TRAIN RATTLING]
Hey, Gretchen, I'm sorry
for the late notice.
I didn't know who else to call.
Glad you reached out. I was
wondering how you'd been.
What's going on?
I know I haven't exactly been
open about everything that happened
after my aunt and uncle
were killed last year, but
I wanna try.
After the home invasion,
there was this friend
who helped me through it.
He was going through his own shit too,
and I helped him through that.
And for a little while, it
felt like we were a team.
And then he, um He disappeared.
And we hadn't talked in a while.
He got into some trouble recently,
and I thought I could help him.
But he's in such a dark place right now,
and I'm worried if I stay here,
I don't know, I I might be
headed back to that dark place too.
I'm starting to regret coming here.
It It sounds like you two
bonded over shared trauma.
That makes for a powerful connection,
but not necessarily a healthy one.
How long have you known this guy?
On and off for less than a year.
That's not that long.
I can tell by the way you talk
about him that you care, deeply.
But you have to ask yourself
whether you'll still feel the
same way once the smoke clears.
[CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah.
I don't know.
[GRETCHEN] I know how
hard it's been for you
to talk about your experience
after the home invasion.
This is a big step forward, Rose.
Thank you for sharing with me.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [MUSIC FADES]
A glass of Malbec, please.
Whichever one you recommend.
And whatever my friend here is having.
Malbec sounds lovely. Thank you.
[IN FRENCH] When did
you first notice me?
[IN FRENCH] About a block after
I left the Permanent Mission.
teach countersurveillance
to every diplomat they
send to the UN, Ms. Laurent?
speak to my Belgian counterpart.
I don't like to miss appointments.
How can I help you, Agent Weaver?
[CATHERINE] I recently came
across these classified DGSE files
on prominent Iranian dissidents
now living in the European Union.
Where'd you find them?
[CATHERINE] In Iranian
hands, which is problematic
given their recent spate
of targeted assassinations.
Oui, that is problematic.
I am more than happy to forward
them to my contacts in the DGSE.
Oh, no need. I have friends over there.
I can send them their way
if circumstances call for it.
No, no, no. I was wondering
if you had any idea
as to who leaked the intel.
[JACQUELINE CHUCKLING]
I hope you are not
wandering around New York
tailing every French diplomat.
- [BOTH CHUCKLING]
- [JACQUELINE] I couldn't tell you.
There's probably a dozen DGSE
undercover agents in town.
Spooks running all over the
city during General Assembly.
You're right. And because of that,
the FBI sends some poor junior agent
to every library, copy
shop, co-work space,
every public-facing color
printer they can find
that can print out a sheet of paper.
And on that sheet of paper
are these tiny yellow dots,
which tell the date, time,
and printer serial number.
That agent, that poor
agent [CHUCKLES]
enters each serial
number into a database
with its corresponding location.
All so that when I find these
dots on classified intelligence,
I can track them to a
printer in the back corner
of Frank's Quick Copy on 34th and 2nd.
Now, fortunately for me,
unfortunately for him,
Frank was robbed a month ago.
Put up hidden security
cameras throughout his store
and caught a woman strolling
by two weeks ago at 3:43 p.m.
UN sustainability development officer
and undercover DGSE
agent, Jacqueline Laurent.
You look a little flush, Jacqueline.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
- I'm not looking to expose you.
- What do you want then?
An introduction.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Noor texted me from her burner.
She's gonna try to get out tonight.
I'm on standby in case she does.
Figured you and
Catherine will be pulling
an all-nighter going through the intel.
[PETER] Actually, uh
[PETER EXHALING SHARPLY]
the intelligence had
nothing to do with Foxglove.
So lying to Noor, her brother
dying, it was all for nothing?
Not for nothing, you know.
Catherine's following up on a lead.
But, yeah, it wasn't the silver
bullet that we'd hoped for.
I know I asked a lot of you, Rose.
I'm I'm sorry.
I'm not the one you
need to apologize to.
I'm doing the best I can. Tough
choices are part of the job.
Your job. That's the difference.
You signed up to be a
night agent, I didn't.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
It's Catherine.
Right. I know the drill.
[PHONE CONTINUES VIBRATING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey. Did you find Laurent?
[CATHERINE] More than that.
I got her to play ball.
She claims that she's
been selling state secrets
- to Solomon Vega for years.
- Years?
Never knows where the intelligence
goes or how it's used, though.
- Well, what's she get in return? Cash?
- [CATHERINE] Sometimes.
Other times, they can do a trade.
Foreign intelligence, top-secret,
case-breaking shit for the DGSE.
And what about Foxglove?
Honestly, she genuinely looked
confused when I mentioned the name.
If this has been going on for years,
maybe Foxglove is just a
piece to a much larger puzzle.
[CATHERINE] We'll find out soon.
I got her to set up a meeting
with Solomon Vega in two hours.
How's that enough time to
get another agent ready?
- No need. I'm going to the meet.
- You?
[CATHERINE] We don't have
time to bring someone in,
and I'm the only one he hasn't seen.
I'll go in as a prospective seller.
You follow him and see if he leads us
to anyone higher up the food chain.
How do you know Laurent's
not trying to set a trap?
I don't know, but I'm
willing to roll the dice.
[PETER] Send me the address.
I'll try to set up what
surveillance I can in the area,
but I wanna be on the ground as backup.
Well, we'll need someone
to watch the feeds.
- You and Rose make up yet?
- [PETER] She needs some space.
I can't keep asking her to help me.
Well, it doesn't stop me from asking.
[MAN] Four more years
under the same party
that gave us Ashley Redfield,
that gave us Diane Farr
and all the outrageous
things that came with it.
It's untenable.
The American people deserve to
trust in their institutions again,
and they should be able to sleep soundly
knowing that there's a
firm hand on the wheel.
[ANCHOR] In the most recent debate,
you criticized Governor Hagan
for what you deemed as a
neo-isolationist agenda.
In your opinion, what should the U.S
What role should it play abroad?
Between my time on the Select
Committee on Intelligence
and my role in the
previous administration,
the American public knows
where I stand on this.
You cannot lead the world if
you're sitting in the nosebleeds.
Now, Governor Hagan wants
to withdraw from NATO,
stop sharing intelligence
with Five Eyes,
uh, defund the United Nations.
Now, maybe that's how he
conducts foreign policy
from his governor's
mansion in Topeka, but
[TV CLICKS OFF]
Our DGSE liaison reached out.
Something new to sell?
Someone.
She's keen to make an intro.
Huh.
Three days after Sutherland's
fishing expedition
at the Iranian ambassador's residence.
Do you believe in coincidence, Solomon?
I know you don't.
- Set it up, then.
- It's already done.
Good man.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
[REMOTE CLICKING]
I would say that the governor
has a very poor understanding
of how the world works.
How are the preparations
for tomorrow going?
[MARKUS] We're on schedule.
[TOMÁS] Good. Save me
a seat on the truck.
[MARKUS CHUCKLING]
Really?
- Really.
- [MARKUS] All right.
But these are my men.
They take orders from me.
[TOMÁS] Your men?
No. They serve at the
pleasure of my father,
as do you.
- You talked to him?
- [TOMÁS] I met with him, yes.
I understand the plan now.
And?
And I approve,
without reserve.
- I'm on my way back now.
- We'll be ready by the time you land.
[TOMÁS] Make sure you are.
[TOMÁS SIGHING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Can we talk?
Peter told me where you
two were staying.
Why are you here, Catherine?
Let me guess. You need
my help with something?
[CATHERINE] I have a
meeting with Solomon Vega.
Peter's setting up a few cameras
around the meeting location,
and I was hoping you could tap
into some additional security feeds.
- Keep an eye on things.
- No.
[CATHERINE] Honestly, I thought
you'd be a headache to have around,
but you've been really valuable.
I mean, you must have
some of your aunt in you.
Do not talk about her.
You didn't know her.
No. Jamie Hawkins
would refer to Sidewinder and Gazelle
all the time when he
was my case officer.
Where were you last year
then? After they were killed?
When Peter and I were
running for our lives,
where was Night Action then?
When Hawkins' body was found out
in the field, we all went dark.
Me and the other case officers.
We didn't know if we were
compromised from within.
So we paused all investigations
to rule everybody out.
It was a scary time.
I didn't know if I could trust
people who were closest to me.
And that's the hardest part of the
job, figuring out who has your back.
And you trust me to have yours?
- I thought I wasn't part of the family.
- [CATHERINE] I deserve that.
But families grow.
And me reaching out to a civilian
should tell you, of all people,
how desperate I am.
I'm about to walk into a
situation where everyone around me
is probably looking to kill me.
And I'm a little short
on friends at the moment.
Right now, Peter is all I have.
Peter's been enough for me
in the past. You'll be fine.
Well, still, I could really use you.
I do not wanna be put in a
position to hurt more people.
I'm done. I can't do that
again. That's not who I am.
Well, it's reductive to view
this job as right and wrong,
because everything is relative.
Now, what I can tell you
is that a good agent knows the
consequences of their actions,
and a bad agent stops caring about them.
And for what it's worth,
it sounded like your aunt
and uncle were great agents.
And Peter?
To be determined.
It's still the beginning
for him in all of this.
But what I can tell you is that
he is better with you by his side.
[CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[ROSE SIGHING]
Fine.
But no more keeping me in the dark.
If you want my help, I
want to know everything.
I figured as much, so I spoke
with Deputy Director Mosley,
and he has granted emergency
clearance to read you in on Foxglove.
What is it?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- [NOOR GASPING]
[IN FARSI] Who is it?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[IN FARSI] Noor,
I need you to come with me.
Right now.
What for?
Please.
So you know, you try to fuck me on this,
I've instructed a copy of the
intel and the security footage
to be sent to your superiors.
Understood?
You're nervous.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I'm fine.
Get it out now.
He might not look it, but he's cunning.
He'll notice.
I looked you up.
Moved to France when you were 12,
worked for your adoptive
country right after university.
Diplomatic postings in
Tunis, Baghdad, Mosul.
Seems like at one point you may
have actually loved your job.
You want to know why, is that it?
February 2015, I was called
back to the home office
and I was told that I had served
my country admirably in the field,
merci,
but that this portion
of my career was over.
Never mind that I had just helped
stop a civil war in Cameroon.
The impact of my entire
career came down to one number.
My age.
Three years I wasted away behind a desk.
And then a man approached
me with intelligence
desperately needed by the DGSE.
And in exchange, I gave
him some information
so inconsequential,
I can't even remember.
And after that, the home office decided
that I had left some
life in me after all.
It is not that I don't
love my job anymore.
I love it too much.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
As I suspect you do too.
[CAR HORNS HONKING]
[ABBAS] Mm-hmm.
[IN FARSI] Yes, then keep me updated.
Thank you.
Noor,
sit, please.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[ABBAS GROANING, SIGHING]
Sit.
When's the last time you
spoke with your family?
[IN FARSI] A couple of days ago.
Why?
[ABBAS] Police in
Isfahan received reports
of a disturbance at your house.
I don't know how to say
this, but it seems like
your mother is missing.
Missing?
What do you mean? What happened?
Police are still investigating.
[MUSIC FADES]
And my brother?
[ABBAS] The case is still evolving.
But a body was found on a road
several miles from your home.
A body?
What do you mean?
I don't understand. Please
tell me what happened.
[ABBAS] I'm really sorry, Noor
but I need you to
identify the person in this photo.
[NOOR GASPING]
No.
No, it's not possible.
No, it can't be It can't be
No, it's impossible.
It's just impossible.
Impossible.
- Listen, we don't exactly
- No, that's impossible, impossible.
No.

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[PETER] I have a visual.
Me too. Catch the door code?
[PETER] Yeah. Yeah, I got it.
[DOOR CLOSING]
[PETER] I think I see the apartment.
On the third floor, southwest
corner, just like Laurent said.
Can't see inside, though, from here.
- Can you?
- [ROSE] No.
But I only have two views of the place.
Got as close as I could
without tipping them off.
Let me know if you see anything, okay?
Movement, lights, any sign of life.
The rest of the building
looks pretty dead to me.
Wouldn't be surprised if they
owned this for meets like this.
Takes some pretty
serious cash to do that.
[JACQUELINE] You don't
think I'd suddenly be armed
after all this time, do you?
Can't always trust new friends.
[KISSING]
- No offense.
- None taken.
They're clean.
- Elizabeth, nice to meet you.
- Likewise.
Come with me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
You have company out front.
[PETER] Keep an eye on 'em.
I'll give it a minute.
I'm gonna head west to the
building above the coffee shop.
Get a different angle on things.
Wait, they're moving
towards your building.
- What are they doing?
- Just patrolling.
Caught 'em on the
coffee shop security cam.
- Heading towards 167th.
- Once they're clear, I'll head down.
You should've seen the way
she handled herself in Baghdad.
No walk in the park for a young woman.
You're giving me too much credit.
Those Raytheon guys were assholes.
Somebody had to put them in their place.
Still, was a nice surprise to run
into her after all these years,
and doing quite well for herself.
- Not well enough.
- [SOLOMON] Is that what brings you to me?
Supplemental income?
Jacqueline tells me you buy information.
Did she? What else did she tell you?
You can smell bullshit a mile away,
and I need to keep my ass at home
unless I'm being serious.
[SOLOMON] Well that's good advice.
Let's see if we'd be a good fit.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
Shit. Rose, I can't see anything.
I gotta change position.
- You have an update on Solomon's team?
- [ROSE] Wait.
- I lost one.
- Well, where are they?
One of the guys doubled back.
The alley of the northwest corner
of the building where you came in.
Okay, I'm gonna head south.
See if I can get down
to a different building.
Peter, head east.
- What?
- Just trust me. Head east.
Okay.
[INAUDIBLE]
Come on.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
- What's going on?
- Don't say anything.
I don't know how, but they're
listening to our comms.
- Okay, I'm muted. Are you sure?
- [ROSE] They're all around the building.
Every time you change
direction, so do they.
They're listening to us.
They know we're here.
Catherine.
Heading up capability development,
the contracts put me in close proximity
to a lot of
difficult-to-procure information.
That's it?
Lots of DoD contractors
carry top-secret clearance.
What makes your access so special?
[CATHERINE] This would
be our newest contract.
Cyber division for the NSA
on the front lines of network
security for the federal government.
And just like that, you're
ready to sell out your country?
If the price is right.
Go handle it.
So
can we do business?
I don't have any of them anywhere.
I I can't even tell you where to go.
[PETER] I'll figure something out.
We gotta draw them away. Clear
a path so I can get to Catherine.
Okay. Be careful.
Going comms on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
Wait, I think I see some
movement on the fourth floor.
There's an empty apartment
on the northeast corner.
[PETER] I'll head down, see
if I can get a better view.
We know he's somewhere in the building.
We need to start from the
roof and make our way down.
We need someone to cover the south side.
Roger. I'll scan the roof and head down.
[SOLOMON] It's risky, isn't it?
To jeopardize our
relationship for a friend?
How do you mean?
[SOLOMON] If I moved forward with
Elizabeth and it doesn't work out,
that would likely put an
end to our arrangement.
I trust that you will
be satisfied with her.
As satisfied as you have been with me.
Can I have a word? In private.
You know, in this line of work,
what we need, what we value,
are reliable sources.
People we know we can trust to
deliver what they say they can deliver.
It's why we take our
time vetting our sources,
cultivate assets we can trust.
And why in all my years of doing this,
never once has a source ever
referred us to someone else.
That's the problem with New York.
There's too many rats.
No!
[BODY THUDDING]
No, no, no. Sit.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC SWELLING]
[SOLOMON] Relax.
You are gonna tell me everything
you know about Peter Sutherland
and exactly what Night Action is.
[ROSE] You have another
one coming towards
the south side of the building.
Copy that.
[PANTING] I'm almost there.
[AC UNIT CREAKING]
You gotta be kidding me.
Yeah, I looked everywhere. He's not
here. Basement, roof, none of it.
- We'll have to check every room.
- I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.
[AC UNIT SNAPPING]
[MAN] We got eyes on.
Sutherland!
[PETER] They're on my six!
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[LOCK CLICKING]
[BANGING ON DOOR]
- [ROSE] Peter?
- [PETER] Found a way out of the basement.
- Where should I go?
- Can you make it to Amsterdam Avenue?
There's a bus leaving
now. It's heading west.
- [PETER] I'm on my way.
- [MAN] Back out front!
- Shit.
- [ROSE] Did you make it to the bus?
- Barely. Am I clear?
- [ROSE] Yeah.
Seven stops. I'll pick you up.
We'll keep on it as long
as we can. Grab some wheels.
- [PETER] Hey.
- They're gone.
[ROSE] Now you're in the clear.
Be fast. Doubt you have more than
five minutes before they realize.
I'll figure it out.
- Where is Peter?
- I don't know who Peter Sutherland is.
- You don't know who that is?
- [CATHERINE] No.
[KEYPAD BEEPING]
[EXHALING] Hurry.
I swear I don't know
what you're talking about.
I don't even know what I
can say to convince you.
[SOLOMON] Well, maybe, if I get a towel
and a bucket of water,
I'll convince you.
