ISABELLA: Parvati! Gioia Mia! Isabella! Mwah! Migliori amiche per sempre.
Best friends forever.
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Hey.
Why do you work so hard? We have enough money.
It's not about the money.
I like working.
You know, the the ritual.
It's like meditation for me.
I close my eyes at night, and all I see is cobblestones and green fields, and it's just simple.
Far cry from your life as a lawyer back home in New York.
[CHUCKLES.]
Right.
My home is here, Andrea.
With you.
- [ISABELLA GIGGLES.]
- Bella! Hey! - Hi.
- Time for bed, Bella.
- Mm-hmm.
- But Parvati promised she'd read to me.
Come on.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN.]
[GIGGLES.]
[CONVERSING IN ITALIAN.]
Fantastico.
[CONVERSING CONTINUES.]
RYAN: Ryan Booth.
Nice to meet you, Ryan Booth.
So, how are we supposed to move forward? There's just so much between us so much weight.
Do you really want to do this? Give it all up for me? Wherever you run, that's where I want to be.
[INSECTS CHIRPING.]
[CHIMES TINKLING.]
[DOOR CREAKS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[TINKLING CONTINUES.]
Have I told you I love you today? No.
But you should.
Again and again and again.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
[SIGHS.]
Turn out the lights.
Take Bella upstairs.
- Parva - Please.
Do as I say.
Take Isabella upstairs and go into the bathroom.
- [GRUNTS.]
- I-I don't don't understand.
- [GUN COCKS.]
- What the hell is that? Do you want to live? Do you want your daughter to live? So here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna go upstairs, get into the bathtub, and stay there until you hear from me.
You got it? Ora! [FLOORBOARD CREAKS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GROANS.]
[THUD.]
Hello, Parva.
[GRUNTS.]
Or should I just call you Alex? [PANTING.]
Somebody wants to meet you.
- [CLANG.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE.]
"Nothing to be worried about"? [INSECTS CHIRPING.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[TRUNK CLOSES.]
Go to your brother's.
Drive straight through the night.
Don't stop for anyone or anything.
Okay? Best friends forever.
Best friends forever.
I need to find who sent those men.
And I know you want to know where I'm going, but I just That's what you think I'm asking? No, Parvati.
What I'm asking is who are you? [KEYS JINGLE.]
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY.]
Thank you.
Thank you.
[SIGHS.]
Hey, Alex.
I've been here for two days.
I paid a guard at the bank to tell me if you showed up.
How did you know I'd be there? They found you, right? Who are they? [SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
The same people who took Shelby two days ago.
She's alive.
They put her on the phone for just a second, but they're gonna kill her in 72 hours if you and I don't give them what they need.
The Conscience Code? How do they even know about the code, - let alone that we have it? - Do we have it? Do you have it? 'Cause it's supposed to be in that safety deposit box.
Remember? I put it there in case of an emergency.
But when I went to go open it, it was gone.
- I destroyed it.
- You what? I burned it.
After I memorized it.
You memorized it? - Of course.
- [SIGHS.]
Thank God.
You have to write it down.
Where is the FBI on this? I'm the FBI, and I'm telling you to write it down.
I thought you were never going back to the bureau.
Oh, Alex, I'd be more than happy to catch up with you some other time, but right now Listen.
If I involve anybody else in the bureau, they're gonna kill Shelby.
Ryan, you would trade your life to keep that code a secret, and so would Shelby.
Yeah, but, Alex, whoever it is, they were able to find you.
Okay? They have money, and they have means.
When were you gonna tell me about the ring? What ring? The one you clearly took off before seeing me.
[SCOFFS.]
I I wanted to tell you when the time was right.
Alex, Shelby's my wife.
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I I could swear you just said that you married my best friend.
It's been three years.
You completely vanished.
I had no idea if I'd ever even see you again.
So you married Shelby.
I married the woman that I love.
Congratulations.
I'm not giving you that code, Ryan.
I'm gonna come with you and we're gonna figure out another way.
That's my offer.
[SPEAKS ITALIAN.]
Mi lamenti, Luciano.
Che cosa fatto questo tessuto? Seta? Si, signora.
Hmm.
I had to learn Italian when I was dealing with Berlusconi.
Creep.
I like speaking it, though.
Makes me sound exotic.
You like silk? I can have Luciano make you one, too.
No, I don't want a dress.
I'm not the reason you're in this situation.
No? Who is? Your husband.
A few years back, Ryan was sent in to find a guy leaking intel at the NSA.
Turns out the guy worked for me.
Ryan arrested him, and he's now living out his days at Leavenworth.
You're angry.
Is that what this is? I'm telling a story.
Don't interrupt.
Now, when Ryan combed through the recovered data, he found the thing I was after.
A top-secret code that can bypass any computer-controlled missile, bomb, drone whatever.
In case some schmuck had a crisis of conscience and couldn't press the button.
Hence, The Conscience Code.
I know.
How could he not tell you about it? Well, I think we can guess who he did tell.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SUBWAY PASSING.]
Grazi, Luciano.
Grazi.
I sound like Sophia Loren, don't I? [CHUCKLES.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[BEEPING.]
Will? You son of a bitch! [GRUNTING.]
We agreed she would never see me.
Oops.
Now, what did you find? Alex Parrish is now in New York.
RYAN: It was insurance.
Alex is seen as a traitor by a lot of people in our government.
If they ever came after her again, she needed leverage.
What you did is treason.
I hoped I'd see you again one day, Alex, but not like this.
I told you this would be a mistake.
This needs to be off-book, okay? No FBI.
Okay, this is not a mistake.
Owen's the only one we can truly trust.
And how are you so sure you can trust me? Friendship.
What is it? The FBI's been tracking chatter about a high-end invite-only auction being organized by one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, known only as The Widow.
An auction for what? All we know is that it's described as a unique weapon with geopolitical ramifications.
The Conscience Code qualifies.
But how can she be selling it? She doesn't have the code.
I do.
Which is why she wanted you alive.
Somehow she found out the two of you have what she needs.
Now, if it is The Widow, I know someone who can help us.
Does that mean you're helping us? I'll call you in a few hours.
- [SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
- Where are you going? Quantico.
"Look closer.
" That will be the mantra for your entire career.
Always reminding yourself nothing is what it seems and everyone is lying.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- All the time.
And on that happy note, class dismissed.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
No one ever really leaves the Agency.
You know that.
There are people at the FBI Good people Who want to clean it up.
I was asked to help them.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, right.
[CHUCKLES.]
Um before I tell you why I'm here, I need you to know it's top-secret.
No, no.
It's beyond Code-Word.
It's just you and me.
And a couple of others.
I need you to come to New York for an op.
Jocelyn.
Jocelyn.
It's The Widow.
I seized this place in a drug raid a year or so ago.
We can stage out of here.
RYAN: We gonna talk about this? - About what? - Well, you tell us you want to bring in Jocelyn Turner, but you fail to mention that she's deaf? - Ryan.
- No, no, I'm not gonna be politically correct right now with Shelby's life at risk, okay? Look, you're a great agent, and I learned a lot from you, but I need everybody at 100%.
My "Achilles heel"? What the hell's that mean? Well, I'm not emotional.
And I can see just fine.
We both speak ASL.
Along with some other languages.
Part of their CIA training.
How did this happen to you? A bomb.
The Widow's bomb.
Jocelyn infiltrated The Widow's organization for 19 months.
Her cover was blown.
We need her insight.
But let me be clear, I would put this woman up against any agent, deaf or not.
Well, let's get to work.
Alex Parrish has been in New York for 24 hours, and you don't know where she is? How is that possible? I do have something interesting.
Owen Hall, Deputy Director of the FBI abruptly left his office this morning at 8:00 AM.
Why is that interesting? He was their instructor at The Farm before he left the CIA.
If they're assembling a team, we have a real problem.
Why? Together, they're formidable.
Either Alex or Ryan have the code.
They can play all the games they want.
One of them will give it up.
How are you so sure? The man broke a hundred laws to steal that code, and what did he do? He delivered it to his ex-girlfriend Alex and didn't say a word to his wife.
But now Shelby's the one paying for it.
That's guilt.
Which is why they won't be able to bear it when they see this a few seconds from now.
[KEYS CLACKING.]
Are those wires? [GROANING, PANTING.]
This is not what I signed up for.
- [SCREAMING.]
- You didn't read the brochure? William, the people I sell to are the stuff of nightmares.
You knew exactly what you signed up for.
[BEEPING.]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES.]
[GRUNTS, PANTING.]
Ryan, we'll get her back.
We have 24 hours before the auction.
How the hell are we gonna get her back?! We have to give her the code.
- We'll find a way to get it back.
- We are not doing that.
Ryan, once again, you're letting your emotions get the best of you.
- - Oh, great, now you're handling me, too? You need clear eyes to see.
What does that even mean? It was bad enough I had to watch the video.
Now I have to look at each frame? For what? To find something.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't see a cable bill with their address on it.
Clear eyes.
"Clear eyes.
" Look.
I don't see anything except for Shelby in pain.
[SIGHS.]
Where is she? In an empty, dusty room.
But where in the room? ALEX: In the light.
Direct sunlight.
Yeah.
Horizontal light.
That's either dawn or dusk.
- It's dawn.
- How do you know that? 'Cause the video came in today.
There's no way The Widow would have sat on this.
This was shot this morning.
Then this window's facing East.
Okay.
The light from the windows is refracted, which means leaded glass.
A factory.
Maybe a factory.
It could also be a loft conversion like this.
RYAN: No, no.
unlikely.
16 panes of leaded glass.
These are Maccadan windows.
They were made in the '20s and '30s.
They're explicitly forbidden for residential use.
The, uh, glass contains arsenic.
- Wow.
- What? Shelby and I did a big renovation last year.
I learned more than I want to know.
- Okay.
- What is it? Her eyes.
ALEX: What about them? She's looking down, scanning from left to right.
East to west.
Wait.
She's doing it right here, too, in these frames.
That's a a ripple in the water.
The room's trembling.
A subway went by.
- Two subways.
- Mm-hmm.
Two subways, four seconds apart in the same direction.
OWEN: We're looking for all the east-west double lines, any station where two trains can pass underneath within four seconds of each other.
And then we narrow it down to those under 1930s buildings.
That are clear of any skyscrapers blocking light.
H-Hey, guys, I-I don't want to put a damper on this, but there will still be many buildings in the five boroughs that fit the same description.
We got to have a backup plan.
- - We have to get a buyer in that auction.
Worst case, we make sure the code ends up in friendly hands.
The buy-in is $50 million.
There's probably only a dozen of those in the world who fit that description.
ALEX: Five? Guess what.
We know someone who works for one of them.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[LAUGHTER.]
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING.]
Harry.
Thanks for seeing me.
Harry! Who's your friend? He's fine, Felix.
He better be.
Mm-hmm.
You're not gonna make trouble for me, are you, Ryan? So, this is what private security for the Pillay brothers means, huh? Being a pool boy? Yet here you are, asking the pool boy for a favor.
Thank you.
You ever heard of The Widow? The brothers don't work with her anymore.
They got out of the arms business.
They're strictly mining now.
I need them to get back in.
No.
Not a chance.
Harry, she has Shelby.
What do you mean? She took her.
They They tortured her.
Why Shelby? There's an auction.
It's exclusive.
- The buy-in's $50 - $50 million.
Yes, I heard about that.
Again, what has Shelby got to do with it? The Widow is selling The Conscience Code.
She doesn't have it yet.
Well, how do you know? Because we have it.
Harry, I need your bosses to bid on this thing and win.
Look, I'm really sorry about Shelby, but I have done my part for king and country.
Surely, I can't be your only option.
$20 million piece of government equipment relegated to holding the whiskey and fetching the whores.
Well, they pay me a lot, and they pay me on time, and I don't have to worry about my own country - selling me out again.
- Harry.
Look at me.
They're gonna kill her.
Ryan, come on.
You'll figure something out.
You always do.
[GASPING.]
[CACKLING.]
Gavin Pillay.
Looks like older brother's about to tell you to spank the infant.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
My answer is no.
Best of luck, though.
I did always like Shelby.
Felix, come on.
Let me hold the gun.
- You want it? - Yeah.
Take it.
[CHUCKLES.]
You got to learn to relax, bro.
Yeah, thank you.
- [SQUEALING, LAUGHING.]
- [GRUNTING.]
GAVIN: We've dealt with warlords like him before.
If there's something he needs, we'll get it for him.
Hang on a sec.
What? Gavin, you hired me so that you and the board could travel safely anywhere in the world, not to babysit your brother.
- Our companies employ over 30,000 people.
- Mm-hmm.
Each are deployed to do the job that is required, not necessarily the job they want.
I'm a $20 million piece of government hardware.
[LAUGHS.]
You're wasting me.
If it takes a $20 million piece of government hardware to babysit my brother and therefore allows me the freedom - to use my time more efficiently - Mm-hmm.
That's money well spent.
If it helps, consider Felix a security risk.
- He is a security risk.
- Then I have the right man on the job.
That will be all.
No, we can't meet him then.
ALEX: 8 down, 47 more to go.
Yeah, and this auction starts tomorrow morning.
So if Shelby's still there and The Widow doesn't have the code, how's that play out? Well, then we're gonna save Shelby and go back to our lives.
What life do you go home to? Last time I saw you, we fell asleep in that shack in Thailand.
And when I woke up, you were gone.
Non tutte le ciambelle riescono col buco.
"Not all doughnuts come out the same?" Yeah, that really clears it up.
What it means is not everything works out, Ryan.
I needed a clean slate.
I thought that's what we were doing.
You're a lot of things, but a clean slate is not one of them.
Besides Shelby is everything to you that I could never be.
So we'll bring her home.
- [KEYS JINGLE.]
- [CAR DOOR OPENS.]
[SIGHS.]
Let's go.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
FELIX: There's a whore in my bedroom.
I need you to get her out.
HARRY: Well, have you asked her to leave? She's a pain in my ass, okay? And now I want to sleep, so get her the hell out.
Hey, darling, I think it might be time for you to just [CRYING.]
Hey.
Son of a bitch.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [SNORING.]
Yeah.
Hang on, hang on.
It's gonna be okay.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
Hey.
[HORN BLARES IN DISTANCE.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- WILL: Shelby, I need you to know I had no idea they were going to do this.
Your nose is bleeding.
Ohh! What the hell's wrong with you? Now we're a matching set.
I was trying to help you.
You're the reason I'm here.
Look, I took a job working for Mrs.
Royce.
She wanted to track down what happened with the code, and I figured it out.
I didn't know That code can kill tens of thousands of people.
You knew that, right? You betrayed your country.
You betrayed us.
I helped you and Ryan and Alex, and what did I get for it? No security clearance back after G20 and Roarke.
I had no place to go but to work in dark corners.
It's not like any of you came looking for me.
We didn't do this to you, Will.
We didn't take away your clearance.
We're your friends.
Help me get out of here.
A public place? Why not just come in? Good news.
Harry's in.
Yeah, I'll come along, but I won't like it.
- ALEX: Who's he talking to? - [SIGHS.]
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
- Who was that? Will Olsen.
Will? What did he want? He's working for The Widow.
Well, that answers a lot of questions.
Son of a bitch.
I told him I could get him immunity, but he doesn't trust me, so he wants me to meet him in public with proof from a judge.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I got him.
Sidewalk across from the church.
Looks clear.
No tail? No weapon? Negative.
You're good to go.
Did you bring it? Signed by a judge.
Now where's Shelby? They have her.
Will, I held up my end.
Now tell me where she is.
I get it.
You're angry.
You think I screwed up.
But I'm here now, and I want to help.
Where the hell is she? Your team is position, Owen? Clear lines of sight? Ryan on gun? Who else? Alex? Assets in place? Alex? Parrish? I haven't seen her in three years.
Yeah, nice try.
We know she's in New York.
Trap.
ALEX: Owen.
Get out of there.
Move.
Where are we going? [GROANS.]
Don't worry.
You're not the one she wants.
Alex, Jocelyn has eyes on five men, maybe more.
Get the hell out of here now.
Don't let them get Alex.
Where did she go? Find her.
- There she is! - Oh, she's heading into the alley East side of the church! RYAN: Alex.
Alex, damn it, where are you? Why isn't she answering? Where the hell is she? - - Alex, if you can hear me, they're crossing east side at the alley.
Remember, we need Alex alive.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [THUD.]
[GRUNTS.]
[SIREN CHIRPS.]
- Hey! Officers! - [TIRES SCREECH.]
SHELBY: It'll wear off in a few minutes.
They did the same thing to me.
[SNIFFS.]
Are you okay? Most girls would have reunited over martinis after three years.
And then there's us.
Where were you all this time? I'm not shutting down, okay? Shelby and Alex are being held by a psychopath, and we're out of options.
[SCOFFS.]
"Be still.
" What does that mean? We've looked at everything.
Look closer.
[PANTING.]
What did you call it? The Conscience Code? Mm-hmm.
It's up for auction.
The buy-in is a non-refundable $50 million applicable to the final sale price.
Who's the seller? The Widow.
You talked to my brother about this? Your brother can go to hell.
What did you just say to me? Hmm? I said to hell with Gavin.
Are you insane? I've had people killed for less.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love Gavin.
I love him.
But come on.
He's not a gambler anymore.
But you are.
He used to be a gambler, my brother.
- Huh.
- Gavin used to be tawwe ou.
Toughest mother you ever met.
That suit he wears crushed his balls.
- Oh.
- [LAUGHS.]
All right.
I'm interested.
Oh, great.
But we keep this between us.
Oh, absolutely.
Come on.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
[SCREAMS.]
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
[BLOWS.]
Blow up that corner.
Yeah.
We're looking for dust? Yes.
How close can you get? So colors? Yeah, that's blue, green.
Oh, maybe it is some kind of factory.
Photo lab? A - A dry cleaner's? - [GROANS.]
It's fibers.
Fibers.
We're looking for a clothing factory.
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
I was, um I was glad to hear about you and Ryan.
[SCOFFS.]
No, you weren't.
Shelby, that's not true.
He really loves you.
I know he loves me.
You don't need to tell me that.
[SIGHS.]
Sorry, I just I never thought I'd see you again.
We're happy.
Well, we were happy, until now.
I don't mean you.
I mean this.
Maybe you mean both.
How did it happen, the two of you? It wasn't while you were still together.
I didn't think it was.
But you were wondering.
No, I wasn't.
- Shelby, honestly, I - Okay, why are we having this stupid conversation here? Because it's where we are.
And it's all my fault.
I I have the code, Shelby.
Ryan begged me to give it to him.
He wanted to trade it for you.
I wouldn't do it.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Ladies, hello.
- Quality time together, I hope.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
Alex, are you ready to give me what I want? Why does your name sound like a Batman villain? - "The Widow"? - [CHUCKLES.]
You can call me Mitzi.
I hate "The Widow.
" You know why they call me that? Because my husband died and I took over the business.
After he died, I built an empire.
And you know what that empire's based on? Consumer confidence.
Which is why I need that code now.
I've made a lot of promises to a lot of people.
Dangerous people.
I destroyed the code.
I didn't want it to fall in the hands of monsters.
[CHUCKLES.]
You and your boyfriend stole from your own government, but I'm the bad guy, right? [CELLPHONE RINGING.]
[BEEP.]
Mr.
Booth, who do you want me to shoot first? The woman you married or the woman you love? - You can't.
- One of you has it.
Which of you is gonna break first? - Three seconds.
- Don't! 3 - Don't shoot her.
- Alex, don't do it.
- Give me what I want.
- If you hurt her - 2.
- I will kill you.
I swear to God.
- Mirko, go ahead.
- Don't! No, stop! Okay, fine! - Don't do it, Alex.
- I'll I'll give you the code.
Now would be a good time.
Establish a Permissive Action Link.
Dial-in Kilo Bravo 229-61 Alpha Tango 4 Write it down.
At least one of them cares about you.
- What's taking so long? - It's Yemen.
Things don't happen in our time frame.
There's the downed drone we're testing code on.
- Okay.
- [BEEPING.]
Uh-oh.
Your code is a fake.
I'm sorry, Shelby.
- You did the right thing.
- Give me the damn gun.
Just look at me, okay? Keep your eyes on me.
Don't look.
Don't shoot her.
- What the hell? - Sniper! FBI! Get on the ground! Everybody on the ground! [GRUNTING.]
Put it down.
Put it down! Who has the code? I do.
It's safe.
Hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.
I'm here now.
[SIGHS.]
- ALEX: Ryan! - [GUNSHOT.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Okay.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- FELIX: What's happening? What about my money? I don't know.
The auction went dark.
Dark?! That's not an answer! That's $50 million of my money you just pissed away! Mm-hmm.
- What's happening? - Hmm? You think you're playing me? I'm gonna kill you, Harry.
You understand that? - Just relax.
I'm trying to work out what happened.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Whew.
You think you're gonna steal my money, bro? I don't think so.
And we're back online.
[EXHALES SHARPLY, SNIFFS.]
[GASPS, GROANS.]
[GRUNTING.]
Shh.
Shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
See ya.
Widow is being extradited to Turkey on a war crimes charge.
Will Olsen is on his way to Leavenworth, and nobody knows the code was ever in play.
RYAN: How did you pull that off? I didn't.
The Director did.
- What, you told the Director? - I had to.
Well, what about Alex? Does she want her in custody? No.
In fact, she's assured me that you're gonna get a full pardon from the president for any past crimes.
In exchange for what? Nothing.
But she did ask if you'd consider remaining with the team.
Uh what team? OWEN: This one.
It's gonna be a black-ops team, off book.
You'll get your assignments from me.
You'll report only to me.
I'm in.
Well, it's not like I have anything else to do anymore, so I'm sorry.
I just really want to go home.
Best friends forever.
Sempre.
They found you, right? [GRUNTING.]
"Nothing to be worried about"? Best friends forever.
Who are you? Anyone drinking? Definitely.
- Make it a double.
- [GATE OPENS.]
[SIGHS.]
Got another glass? - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'm so glad you're okay.
- Hey.

[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Hey.
Why do you work so hard? We have enough money.
It's not about the money.
I like working.
You know, the the ritual.
It's like meditation for me.
I close my eyes at night, and all I see is cobblestones and green fields, and it's just simple.
Far cry from your life as a lawyer back home in New York.

Right.
My home is here, Andrea.
With you.

RYAN: Ryan Booth.
Nice to meet you, Ryan Booth.
So, how are we supposed to move forward? There's just so much between us so much weight.
Do you really want to do this? Give it all up for me? Wherever you run, that's where I want to be.

Best friends forever.
I need to find who sent those men.
And I know you want to know where I'm going, but I just That's what you think I'm asking? No, Parvati.
What I'm asking is who are you? [KEYS JINGLE.]
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY.]
Thank you.
Thank you.
[SIGHS.]
Hey, Alex.
I've been here for two days.
I paid a guard at the bank to tell me if you showed up.
How did you know I'd be there? They found you, right? Who are they? [SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
The same people who took Shelby two days ago.
She's alive.
They put her on the phone for just a second, but they're gonna kill her in 72 hours if you and I don't give them what they need.
The Conscience Code? How do they even know about the code, - let alone that we have it? - Do we have it? Do you have it? 'Cause it's supposed to be in that safety deposit box.
Remember? I put it there in case of an emergency.
But when I went to go open it, it was gone.
- I destroyed it.
- You what? I burned it.
After I memorized it.
You memorized it? - Of course.
- [SIGHS.]
Thank God.
You have to write it down.
Where is the FBI on this? I'm the FBI, and I'm telling you to write it down.
I thought you were never going back to the bureau.
Oh, Alex, I'd be more than happy to catch up with you some other time, but right now Listen.
If I involve anybody else in the bureau, they're gonna kill Shelby.
Ryan, you would trade your life to keep that code a secret, and so would Shelby.
Yeah, but, Alex, whoever it is, they were able to find you.
Okay? They have money, and they have means.
When were you gonna tell me about the ring? What ring? The one you clearly took off before seeing me.
[SCOFFS.]
I I wanted to tell you when the time was right.
Alex, Shelby's my wife.
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I I could swear you just said that you married my best friend.
It's been three years.
You completely vanished.
I had no idea if I'd ever even see you again.
So you married Shelby.
I married the woman that I love.
Congratulations.
I'm not giving you that code, Ryan.
I'm gonna come with you and we're gonna figure out another way.
That's my offer.
[SPEAKS ITALIAN.]
Mi lamenti, Luciano.
Che cosa fatto questo tessuto? Seta? Si, signora.
Hmm.
I had to learn Italian when I was dealing with Berlusconi.
Creep.
I like speaking it, though.
Makes me sound exotic.
You like silk? I can have Luciano make you one, too.
No, I don't want a dress.
I'm not the reason you're in this situation.
No? Who is? Your husband.
A few years back, Ryan was sent in to find a guy leaking intel at the NSA.
Turns out the guy worked for me.
Ryan arrested him, and he's now living out his days at Leavenworth.
You're angry.
Is that what this is? I'm telling a story.
Don't interrupt.
Now, when Ryan combed through the recovered data, he found the thing I was after.
A top-secret code that can bypass any computer-controlled missile, bomb, drone whatever.
In case some schmuck had a crisis of conscience and couldn't press the button.
Hence, The Conscience Code.
I know.
How could he not tell you about it? Well, I think we can guess who he did tell.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SUBWAY PASSING.]

I sound like Sophia Loren, don't I? [CHUCKLES.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[BEEPING.]
Will? You son of a bitch! [GRUNTING.]
We agreed she would never see me.
Oops.
Now, what did you find? Alex Parrish is now in New York.
RYAN: It was insurance.
Alex is seen as a traitor by a lot of people in our government.
If they ever came after her again, she needed leverage.
What you did is treason.
I hoped I'd see you again one day, Alex, but not like this.
I told you this would be a mistake.
This needs to be off-book, okay? No FBI.
Okay, this is not a mistake.
Owen's the only one we can truly trust.
And how are you so sure you can trust me? Friendship.
What is it? The FBI's been tracking chatter about a high-end invite-only auction being organized by one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, known only as The Widow.
An auction for what? All we know is that it's described as a unique weapon with geopolitical ramifications.
The Conscience Code qualifies.
But how can she be selling it? She doesn't have the code.
I do.
Which is why she wanted you alive.
Somehow she found out the two of you have what she needs.
Now, if it is The Widow, I know someone who can help us.
Does that mean you're helping us? I'll call you in a few hours.
- [SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
- Where are you going? Quantico.
"Look closer.
" That will be the mantra for your entire career.
Always reminding yourself nothing is what it seems and everyone is lying.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- All the time.
And on that happy note, class dismissed.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
No one ever really leaves the Agency.
You know that.
There are people at the FBI Good people Who want to clean it up.
I was asked to help them.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, right.
[CHUCKLES.]
Um before I tell you why I'm here, I need you to know it's top-secret.
No, no.
It's beyond Code-Word.
It's just you and me.
And a couple of others.
I need you to come to New York for an op.
Jocelyn.
Jocelyn.
It's The Widow.
I seized this place in a drug raid a year or so ago.
We can stage out of here.
RYAN: We gonna talk about this? - About what? - Well, you tell us you want to bring in Jocelyn Turner, but you fail to mention that she's deaf? - Ryan.
- No, no, I'm not gonna be politically correct right now with Shelby's life at risk, okay? Look, you're a great agent, and I learned a lot from you, but I need everybody at 100%.
My "Achilles heel"? What the hell's that mean? Well, I'm not emotional.
And I can see just fine.
We both speak ASL.
Along with some other languages.
Part of their CIA training.
How did this happen to you? A bomb.
The Widow's bomb.
Jocelyn infiltrated The Widow's organization for 19 months.
Her cover was blown.
We need her insight.
But let me be clear, I would put this woman up against any agent, deaf or not.
Well, let's get to work.
Alex Parrish has been in New York for 24 hours, and you don't know where she is? How is that possible? I do have something interesting.
Owen Hall, Deputy Director of the FBI abruptly left his office this morning at 8:00 AM.
Why is that interesting? He was their instructor at The Farm before he left the CIA.
If they're assembling a team, we have a real problem.
Why? Together, they're formidable.
Either Alex or Ryan have the code.
They can play all the games they want.
One of them will give it up.
How are you so sure? The man broke a hundred laws to steal that code, and what did he do? He delivered it to his ex-girlfriend Alex and didn't say a word to his wife.
But now Shelby's the one paying for it.
That's guilt.
Which is why they won't be able to bear it when they see this a few seconds from now.
[KEYS CLACKING.]
Are those wires? [GROANING, PANTING.]
This is not what I signed up for.
- [SCREAMING.]
- You didn't read the brochure? William, the people I sell to are the stuff of nightmares.
You knew exactly what you signed up for.
[BEEPING.]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES.]
[GRUNTS, PANTING.]
Ryan, we'll get her back.
We have 24 hours before the auction.
How the hell are we gonna get her back?! We have to give her the code.
- We'll find a way to get it back.
- We are not doing that.
Ryan, once again, you're letting your emotions get the best of you.
- - Oh, great, now you're handling me, too? You need clear eyes to see.
What does that even mean? It was bad enough I had to watch the video.
Now I have to look at each frame? For what? To find something.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't see a cable bill with their address on it.
Clear eyes.
"Clear eyes.
" Look.
I don't see anything except for Shelby in pain.
[SIGHS.]
Where is she? In an empty, dusty room.
But where in the room? ALEX: In the light.
Direct sunlight.
Yeah.
Horizontal light.
That's either dawn or dusk.
- It's dawn.
- How do you know that? 'Cause the video came in today.
There's no way The Widow would have sat on this.
This was shot this morning.
Then this window's facing East.
Okay.
The light from the windows is refracted, which means leaded glass.
A factory.
Maybe a factory.
It could also be a loft conversion like this.
RYAN: No, no.
unlikely.
16 panes of leaded glass.
These are Maccadan windows.
They were made in the '20s and '30s.
They're explicitly forbidden for residential use.
The, uh, glass contains arsenic.
- Wow.
- What? Shelby and I did a big renovation last year.
I learned more than I want to know.
- Okay.
- What is it? Her eyes.
ALEX: What about them? She's looking down, scanning from left to right.
East to west.
Wait.
She's doing it right here, too, in these frames.
That's a a ripple in the water.
The room's trembling.
A subway went by.
- Two subways.
- Mm-hmm.
Two subways, four seconds apart in the same direction.
OWEN: We're looking for all the east-west double lines, any station where two trains can pass underneath within four seconds of each other.
And then we narrow it down to those under 1930s buildings.
That are clear of any skyscrapers blocking light.
H-Hey, guys, I-I don't want to put a damper on this, but there will still be many buildings in the five boroughs that fit the same description.
We got to have a backup plan.
- - We have to get a buyer in that auction.
Worst case, we make sure the code ends up in friendly hands.
The buy-in is $50 million.
There's probably only a dozen of those in the world who fit that description.
ALEX: Five? Guess what.
We know someone who works for one of them.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[LAUGHTER.]
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING.]
Harry.
Thanks for seeing me.
Harry! Who's your friend? He's fine, Felix.
He better be.
Mm-hmm.
You're not gonna make trouble for me, are you, Ryan? So, this is what private security for the Pillay brothers means, huh? Being a pool boy? Yet here you are, asking the pool boy for a favor.
Thank you.
You ever heard of The Widow? The brothers don't work with her anymore.
They got out of the arms business.
They're strictly mining now.
I need them to get back in.
No.
Not a chance.
Harry, she has Shelby.
What do you mean? She took her.
They They tortured her.
Why Shelby? There's an auction.
It's exclusive.
- The buy-in's $50 - $50 million.
Yes, I heard about that.
Again, what has Shelby got to do with it? The Widow is selling The Conscience Code.
She doesn't have it yet.
Well, how do you know? Because we have it.
Harry, I need your bosses to bid on this thing and win.
Look, I'm really sorry about Shelby, but I have done my part for king and country.
Surely, I can't be your only option.
$20 million piece of government equipment relegated to holding the whiskey and fetching the whores.
Well, they pay me a lot, and they pay me on time, and I don't have to worry about my own country - selling me out again.
- Harry.
Look at me.
They're gonna kill her.
Ryan, come on.
You'll figure something out.
You always do.
[GASPING.]
[CACKLING.]
Gavin Pillay.
Looks like older brother's about to tell you to spank the infant.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
My answer is no.
Best of luck, though.
I did always like Shelby.
Felix, come on.
Let me hold the gun.
- You want it? - Yeah.
Take it.
[CHUCKLES.]
You got to learn to relax, bro.
Yeah, thank you.
- [SQUEALING, LAUGHING.]
- [GRUNTING.]
GAVIN: We've dealt with warlords like him before.
If there's something he needs, we'll get it for him.
Hang on a sec.
What? Gavin, you hired me so that you and the board could travel safely anywhere in the world, not to babysit your brother.
- Our companies employ over 30,000 people.
- Mm-hmm.
Each are deployed to do the job that is required, not necessarily the job they want.
I'm a $20 million piece of government hardware.
[LAUGHS.]
You're wasting me.
If it takes a $20 million piece of government hardware to babysit my brother and therefore allows me the freedom - to use my time more efficiently - Mm-hmm.
That's money well spent.
If it helps, consider Felix a security risk.
- He is a security risk.
- Then I have the right man on the job.
That will be all.
No, we can't meet him then.
ALEX: 8 down, 47 more to go.
Yeah, and this auction starts tomorrow morning.
So if Shelby's still there and The Widow doesn't have the code, how's that play out? Well, then we're gonna save Shelby and go back to our lives.
What life do you go home to? Last time I saw you, we fell asleep in that shack in Thailand.
And when I woke up, you were gone.
Non tutte le ciambelle riescono col buco.
"Not all doughnuts come out the same?" Yeah, that really clears it up.
What it means is not everything works out, Ryan.
I needed a clean slate.
I thought that's what we were doing.
You're a lot of things, but a clean slate is not one of them.
Besides Shelby is everything to you that I could never be.
So we'll bring her home.

FELIX: There's a whore in my bedroom.

Ohh! What the hell's wrong with you? Now we're a matching set.
I was trying to help you.
You're the reason I'm here.
Look, I took a job working for Mrs.
Royce.
She wanted to track down what happened with the code, and I figured it out.
I didn't know That code can kill tens of thousands of people.
You knew that, right? You betrayed your country.
You betrayed us.
I helped you and Ryan and Alex, and what did I get for it? No security clearance back after G20 and Roarke.
I had no place to go but to work in dark corners.
It's not like any of you came looking for me.
We didn't do this to you, Will.
We didn't take away your clearance.
We're your friends.
Help me get out of here.
A public place? Why not just come in? Good news.
Harry's in.
Yeah, I'll come along, but I won't like it.
- ALEX: Who's he talking to? - [SIGHS.]
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
- Who was that? Will Olsen.
Will? What did he want? He's working for The Widow.
Well, that answers a lot of questions.
Son of a bitch.
I told him I could get him immunity, but he doesn't trust me, so he wants me to meet him in public with proof from a judge.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I got him.
Sidewalk across from the church.
Looks clear.
No tail? No weapon? Negative.
You're good to go.
Did you bring it? Signed by a judge.
Now where's Shelby? They have her.
Will, I held up my end.
Now tell me where she is.
I get it.
You're angry.
You think I screwed up.
But I'm here now, and I want to help.
Where the hell is she? Your team is position, Owen? Clear lines of sight? Ryan on gun? Who else? Alex? Assets in place? Alex? Parrish? I haven't seen her in three years.
Yeah, nice try.
We know she's in New York.
Trap.
ALEX: Owen.
Get out of there.
Move.
Where are we going? [GROANS.]
Don't worry.
You're not the one she wants.
Alex, Jocelyn has eyes on five men, maybe more.
Get the hell out of here now.
Don't let them get Alex.
Where did she go? Find her.
- There she is! - Oh, she's heading into the alley East side of the church! RYAN: Alex.
Alex, damn it, where are you? Why isn't she answering? Where the hell is she? - - Alex, if you can hear me, they're crossing east side at the alley.
Remember, we need Alex alive.

"Be still.

Look closer.

What did you call it? The Conscience Code? Mm-hmm.
It's up for auction.
The buy-in is a non-refundable $50 million applicable to the final sale price.
Who's the seller? The Widow.
You talked to my brother about this? Your brother can go to hell.
What did you just say to me? Hmm? I said to hell with Gavin.
Are you insane? I've had people killed for less.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love Gavin.

Well, we were happy, until now.

I mean this.
Maybe you mean both.
How did it happen, the two of you? It wasn't while you were still together.
I didn't think it was.
But you were wondering.
No, I wasn't.
- Shelby, honestly, I - Okay, why are we having this stupid conversation here? Because it's where we are.
And it's all my fault.
I I have the code, Shelby.
Ryan begged me to give it to him.
He wanted to trade it for you.
I wouldn't do it.

I hate "The Widow.

After he died, I built an empire.
And you know what that empire's based on? Consumer confidence.
Which is why I need that code now.
I've made a lot of promises to a lot of people.
Dangerous people.
I destroyed the code.
I didn't want it to fall in the hands of monsters.

RYAN: How did you pull that off? I didn't.
The Director did.
- What, you told the Director? - I had to.
Well, what about Alex? Does she want her in custody? No.
In fact, she's assured me that you're gonna get a full pardon from the president for any past crimes.
In exchange for what? Nothing.
But she did ask if you'd consider remaining with the team.
Uh what team? OWEN: This one.
It's gonna be a black-ops team, off book.
You'll get your assignments from me.
You'll report only to me.
I'm in.
Well, it's not like I have anything else to do anymore, so I'm sorry.
I just really want to go home.
