Covert Affairs s04e01 Episode Script

Previously on Covert Affairs What's going on Jai? - Come with me.
- I'll drive.
, Jai? My son was assassinated! You want to search someone's hands for Jai's blood? Search yours.
I'm sorry for your loss, Henry.
No, you're not.
I know this is macabre, but I wanted to see this place for myself.
I knew you were the right person for this.
Whatever it is you'd like me to do, I won't go against Joan and Arthur.
Take a look.
There are things that I need to say to you-- important things.
Come home.
Please.
Eyal needs my help, and I can't do nothing.
You once told me you didn't have feelings for him.
Is that not true? Is that what's driving this? Why do you keep asking me that? Well, there's a conversation I've been hoping to have with you for a while now, but I've never found the right time to have it.
What do you want to talk about? I need you, Annie.
I never need anyone but I need you.
You and I both know this isn't our song.
We'll dance again, Walker, but not 'till the music's right.
Annie.
You don't have to do this.
I'm sorry, Auggie.
This is Henry Wilcox's fault, not yours.
I should have never read you in that morning in bed.
I should have just said, "I love you.
" I love you, too.
Come home.
- I can't.
- Annie-- It's too late for heart to hearts.
No, Annie-- Good-bye, Auggie.
Annie! Annie! Sothat happened.
I want to be completely honest with you.
Mm.
Right before you came here last night, I had a meeting with Henry Wilcox.
Did not see that coming.
He gave me a file.
What was in it? Serious intel on Arthur.
Financial records that indicate he may be funneling money to the ALC terror group in Colombia? Henry also showed me pictures of Arthur meeting with a woman in D.
C.
He has evidence of the same woman meeting with the ALC terrorist codenamed "The Puma.
" Look carefully at the last page.
That's one of Auggie's aliases.
Did he tell you I opened the account? He did.
It doesn't look good.
Why are you telling me this? Jai liked you and trusted you.
I want to spare you from the bloodletting about to hit Langley.
Do you expect me to believe any of this? I expect you to observe.
Dominoes will start to fall.
Tomorrow the D.
O.
will begin a routine investigation into Auggie Anderson's security clearance.
Within a week, Arthur will resign.
In a few months, this thing will blow wide open, and everyone involved will be brought down.
I'm sorry to say, this won't end well for your friend Auggie.
Bullshit.
Henry is grasping at some random detail from a long ago case to wedge between us.
I can go to Colombia.
I'll follow the money after it leaves the bank and prove Henry wrong.
Yeah, and then what? Henry finds the next wedge, the next task for you to do.
Before you know it, you're his pawn.
He didn't ask me to do anything.
That's a red flag right there.
I can handle it.
Don't worry.
Nice distraction.
- You caught that, did you? - Mm-hmm.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You slept with me even after you heard all about this file? You made a strong case.
I did, didn't I? Mm, we're gonna be late for work.
Uhhuh.
Mmm.
Morning.
Morning, Walker.
How was your evening? I didn't get much sleep.
I just tossed and turned.
Interesting.
Me too.
Anderson.
We're here from the D.
O.
to requisition all your hard drives.
We need you to sign off.
Why? Standard security back check.
Your security clearance will be dropped to a seven until we filter the data.
It should take a couple of days at most.
You answered "what," not "why.
" Well, I don't get paid enough for "why.
" Sign here, please.
- So, I'm going to Colombia.
- Annie-- They requisitioned your hard drive and downgraded your security clearance? Henry called it.
We can't talk about this here.
Have you seen our Berlin Wall memorial? I'm going on the record, Annie.
This is not the right move.
We have to vet Henry's intel to prove him wrong.
I can go to Medellin, talk to someone at the bank, see who has access to the accounts, follow the money before it's too late.
Henry said Arthur would step down within the week.
If you believe Henry, which I don't.
A hard drive rec is nothing new for a tech op.
I can't take that chance.
I need you, Auggie.
You have me.
It's going to be fine.
Then we have to go to Arthur or Joan.
No, because if the allegations against Arthur are true, we'd only be tipping him off.
And the same goes for Joan.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't say it's nothing and then say it's something.
All I'm saying is we need to give this time to sort itself out.
With you in jail? Or worse? Annie, this is what Henry Wilcox does.
He thrives on chaos.
He wants us to panic, to react, so he can find a vulnerability.
Our best option is to not give him the satisfaction.
Are you nodding? Tell me you're nodding.
Yes.
Hey, Barber.
Uh, Eric.
Hey, Annie.
Could you give this note to Auggie when he gets out of the DST briefing? - Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
No problem.
Do you eat lun-- Auggie.
- Yeah? Annie left a note for you.
I didn't read it.
Let me guess.
She's going to the bank.
Yeah, that is what it says.
How did you know tha-- I-I did read it.
I'm sorry.
- Mr.
Sanchez? - Si? I had a question about a foreign currency account.
There are tellers inside who can help you.
I was told you were the man to speak to at Banco Medellin.
And why is that? You're not afraid to take chances.
I need you to give me information about a high-value client.
And why would I do that? This for your girlfriend, Beatriz.
Or you could give it to your wife, Claudia.
Or you can give it to your other girlfriend, also called Claudia.
I know all about you, Oswaldo.
The fancy cars, and the massive debt.
So if you want to talk, we need to talk.
Okay, let's talk.
But not here.
Here's the account number.
Where do you want to meet? Orquideorama.
Personally, I'd give it to your wife.
Hello? - She picks up.
- Auggie, I'm sorry.
I had to do this.
I had too good an in to pass up, the assistant bank manager.
Oh, you wouldn't be you if you didn't follow it down.
Although I'm surprised you didn't stake out the bank to see who's picking up the cash.
Yeah, too many moving parts.
The bank manager proved to be as irreputable as expected.
I'm meeting him later for the full download.
Your instincts, spot on as always.
- You're not mad? - Mad, no.
I am here, though.
Couldn't let you have all the fun.
Do you remember that first weekend we went away together? Secretly.
Chesapeake.
How could I forget? I claimed to be going to a conference, and you asked for vacation time.
- Mm-hmm.
- Why do you ask? Annie and Auggie just pulled the same move.
I think they're dating.
Well, we thought it might happen.
Think we should force their hand on filing a close and continuing? Oh, not yet.
Remember how long we waited, after all? We should go back to the Chesapeake this weekend.
I'd like that.
Where'd they go? Colombia.
Not exactly the Chesapeake.
Hmm.
This place wasn't even built the last time I was here.
Your mission for Arthur.
How long were you here? I was on the ground less than a day.
In and out.
I didn't even really look around to see the sights.
Did you spend any time with the guy you opened the account for? Eh, an hour.
He was a nice enough guy.
We talked about soccer.
You see our banker? Fashionably late.
- Thoughts? - We wait.
We dance.
I like it.
It's a great spy craft case study-- to wait or not.
To trust or not.
That feels leading.
We need to be as honest as we can.
It's the only way to make this relationship work.
Honestly, I don't care if this guy never shows up.
Hold that thought.
Hmm, I don't see him.
You don't see him, or you don't see him and it's setting off alarm bells? I don't see him.
Auggie, he's dead.
Annie, movement at my five o'clock.
I strongly suggest you two come with me.
Okay.
Everything on the table.
Okay.
My name is Calder Michaels, and I'm the station chief here in Medellin.
I now have a sweep team at the orchard garden, and three bribes I'm going to have to make because of those bodies, but here I am doing all the talking when two other CIA operatives are visiting my lovely city.
How rude.
Go.
You must be mistaken.
We're just here on vacation.
- Okay.
- Okay? I've had eyes on you ever since you stepped off the plane in Cordova.
But if this is the way you want to play it Langley doesn't always alert local station chiefs about missions in-country.
When was the last time you were on a mission in Colombia? Exactly.
Never.
'Cause it's not just dangerous down here, it's unpredictable.
There's a code, but it's messy.
There are laws, but not really.
But the one thing you can count on is that operatives do better in Colombia when I'm looped in.
So, you're like the sheriff of this here town? I'm not like the sheriff.
I am the sheriff.
I'm the youngest station chief in South America in 20 years, and I got here because I know how to play ball.
But that's hard to do by yourself.
It's called "juggling.
" I'd like to propose a toast.
To us.
Are we going to become friends Enemies, or just remain people who happen to be spies for the same great country? It's really up to you.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Well Enjoy your visit.
This one's on me.
You think he's gonna call Langley? A guy that ambitious won't risk pissing off HQ.
Doesn't want to take the chance we're working above his clearance level.
Well, now we have him to worry about.
Well, at least he paid for the drinks.
What's the status on Walker and Anderson? Okay.
Okay, good.
Keep me posted.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hi.
I just got a call from the hill.
Lots of paperwork and some meetings they need me for.
It's just--it's gonna be a long night.
And we're going to have to postpone the Chesapeake.
I'm sorry.
We'll do dinner tomorrow night.
Date night.
Sure.
See you tonight, late.
Okay.
Good night.
Hmm.
Good news and good news.
Which do you want first? - Uh, good news? - The good news is, your blood panel came back.
No health issues.
Great.
So, what's the other good news? The blood tests also showed beta HCG.
You're pregnant, Joan.
Congratulations.
The bank opens in five minutes.
How will we know if the transfer goes through? I was able to put an e-trace on the account, but get comfortable.
It could take a while.
If it happens.
And if it does, you think following the courier is the best idea? Unfortunately, I think it's the only idea.
What's a five-letter word for "monarchs"? Easy.
Reyes.
Hey, the money's in.
Finally.
I don't think I could handle the jumble.
How do I sound? I don't know.
Say something dirty.
Jackpot.
That's our account, Annie.
That's the courier.
He's on the move.
And so are we.
Gun! Can you go after him? I'll meet you back.
- You're shot! - It's just a graze.
You're bleeding! Come here.
Come here.
- You're going to be fine.
- I told you that.
Where's my cane? Here.
"It's just a graze"? Who says that? Tough guys.
Tough guys say that.
What's going on? Nothing good.
Where are we? It's some kind of restaurant.
Could be an ALC meeting place.
Step, step.
You're blind? No, she can see just fine.
Soa little tip from a local.
You should be careful who you follow around here.
Come on.
Come on.
Just sit there.
Okay.
Let's see.
In America, you're soft.
You just need painkillers for everything.
Even the truth.
Here, we have no such luxuries.
No illusions.
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Good.
Let's see.
Let me see.
Stop! Yeah.
Good.
What were you doing trying to access my accounts? You're the Puma? I didn't come up with the name.
Frankly, we could have done better.
My friends call me Teo.
Teo Braga.
Whatever you're thinking, Teo, we're on the same side.
We have a friend in common, in America.
I have no American friends, and I suggest you two leave Colombia, now.
Here.
Directions back to Botero Plaza.
You don't want to get lost in Medellin, right? Unh.
Get out.
Is that the guy you made the account for? Yes, and no.
The voice is an exact match.
No doubt about it.
What do you mean? I mean, the guy that I met was vibrant and hopeful, and this guy is crazy and dead inside.
Maybe not completely dead.
You know, even though we didn't get to steal away to the Chesapeake, I'm still glad we had this time tonight.
Me too.
So, um, here's something.
What? Who is it? I have to take this.
Quickly.
Hello? This is from the gentleman at the bar.
Hello, Henry.
Not a call, not an email, not a kind word, Joanie.
I thought you could use a drink.
Why's that? Today is Jai's birthday.
Or it would have been.
How quickly we forget, move on, adapt.
Well, I don't forget.
I am truly sorry, Henry.
I know you are, Joan.
I always knew you were the good one.
Enjoy that drink.
It's a Mai Tai, made with Colombian rum.
These stitches are gonna be pretty janky.
You'll probably have a scar.
Oh, scars are sexy.
Depends on how you get them.
Annie, you know, there's a version of this where we don't go to the meet.
You saw that guy.
He is a wild card beyond a wild card.
I want to make sure that you're protected.
Yeah, see, that's a problem right there.
I don't want you to have to do this for me.
Having someone take care of you wouldn't be the worst thing.
It wouldn't? There's another person you're doing this for.
Who's that? You.
I know that deep down, the idea of going toe-to-toe with Henry Wilcox and outwitting him, beating him at his own game, gets you fired up.
Don't get me wrong.
I think it's hot.
But it's true.
It's probably a little bit true.
Well, that's not reason enough to stay.
We have everything we need.
There's no point playing Henry's game anymore.
Hey, please Trust me on this.
Let's go home.
Okay, let's go home.
So, you're leaving my town without even a friendly goodbye? What, you didn't get our edible arrangements thank you basket? No, I didn't.
A drink first? Didn't we already grab a drink? It's Colombia.
There's always another drink.
Oh, I, uh--I forgot something in my room.
I'll be back really quickly.
So you buying this time? I'll take a rum.
Goes down quicker.
What happened to your shoulder? What, this? Shaving accident.
You should see the other guy.
There was another guy? You know, we really got off on the wrong foot earlier.
You don't know me.
Oh, sure I do.
You're Calder Michaels, the Wyatt Earp of Medellin.
You could say that.
You could also say that nobody in the Agency wanted to work Colombia anymore.
The action's in Islamabad or Peshawar.
But I went after this post.
I saw it for the opportunity it was.
I knew it was gonna be messy.
It's definitely messy.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm the kind of guy that can help you.
All right, I'll be back at Langley soon enough.
My career plan is four years ahead of schedule.
You'll be retiring early as well? Spoken like a guy who hasn't gotten a promotion in 3 1/2 years.
That's right.
I looked you up.
You know, for a guy trying to get off on the right foot, this isn't the best start.
Have we started? Uno mas.
Is that Henry Wilcox? It was.
And we just had the strangest conversation.
What did he want? He was upset about Jai.
Today would have been his birthday.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that he just happened to be here, drowning his sorrows, at our neighborhood restaurant? Well, Henry doesn't do anything without a purpose.
What exactly did he say? Not much.
He sent over this Mai Tai made with Colombian rum.
What do you think that's about? So, Annie--she single? Well, we don't really talk about that kind of stuff.
But I should probably go check on her and make sure she's okay.
Yeah, because you're just co-workers.
So, what do we need to discuss? Where's your friend? - Annie.
- What's going on? You've got to take me there right now.
- What's going on? - Right now! Let's go! Here, come on.
Here, go! You tell Arthur Campbell that the blood's on his hands, not mine.
- Whose blood? - He made promises to me.
He said he'd be there for me.
But you know what? You tell him that I'm done with him.
I burned the account, so I don't need him anymore.
How do you know Arthur Campbell? That's what I need to know! - Didn't your friend tell you? - Tell me what? A day ago, I didn't know you, and today I'm getting shot at.
Seems like you and I both don't have the full truth.
- Do you see her? - No.
Annie! Auggie.
- You okay? - I'm okay, I'm okay.
- Ahh, okay.
- I'm okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Listen up.
Either the ALC or the Colombian police will be here within seconds.
Whatever your game is down here is now over.
Come with me.
Why couldn't this wait? The situation has changed.
There's too many eyes on us.
We need to end this.
End it? Are you kidding? You asshole.
We talked about the fact this moment was coming.
No, you talked about it.
I never accepted it.
I still don't.
Well, you're gonna have to.
I'm sorry.
Have you thought about this? Have you really thought about what this means, to cut someone loose? You of all people should know that I have.
So what happens now? Nothing happens now.
It's done.
So, that drink we had before was our farewell drink after all.
I guess so.
You know, the only nice thing about you two doing this mission off-book, is that I don't have to file any paperwork.
- What mission? - Exactly.
Let's hope when we meet again, we do a little better job communicating, because this-- whatever this was-- it was a mess.
For a guy claiming to be the sheriff, he didn't exactly roll out the welcome wagon.
Come on, cowboy.
We've got a plane to catch.
I'm sorry I left you alone in the bar to deal with Calder.
I should have trusted your instincts.
I just wanted to know what Teo wanted.
To know more.
I'm glad you're okay.
There's something you should know.
That guy-- the man you met, Teo.
He's Arthur's son.
Arthur has a son? He was stationed in Cartagena when he was in the Navy.
When he asked me to set up his account all those years ago, he said it was highest priority for his son.
You knew this all the time? I wasn't sure until I heard his voice.
Annie, I wanted to protect you from all of this.
Arthur swore me to secrecy.
No, II get it.
I mean, I've kept secrets, too.
It's part of the job.
Well, that makes this strange conversation a little less strange.
A little.
Does Joan know? II don't know.
My guess is no.
We have to tell them all this.
About Henry, and the trip and about us.
I agree.
Anyway, I'm glad you told me.
Heart to hearts require talk.
It's unusual for employees to demand to see his superior.
A lot of things happening these days are unusual.
Yeah, like you going down to Colombia without telling me.
I needed to protect Annie.
How'd that work out? You told her Teo was my son? She would have figured it out on her own.
And she's going to figure out the rest.
I need to read Annie in on all of it.
You can't.
You know that.
Arthur, Teo is lost to you.
It's over.
I talked to him, and I'm sorry to say this, but he is gone.
Well, if that is true, then you should know the ramifications of talking.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter what happens to me.
You love her, don't you? Yeah, I do.
Then let's not forget that you're keeping secrets, too.
Ready to do this? Yeah.
Auggie, are you okay? Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
Let's do it.
Barber? What's going on? DCS just called everyone to the bubble for an all-hands meeting.
It sounds big.
I don't know.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've gathered you all here today because you deserve to hear directly from me.
In the coming days, press outlets will reveal that I have engaged in an extramarital affair.
Is Joan up there with him? - So as not to distract - No.
From the important work of this Agency, I am resigning my post, effective immediately.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your service.
I couldn't have hoped to work with a finer, more patriotic group of men and women.
It has been my honor.
This changes everything.
