Previously on The Equalizer
Ah, come on.
You can't just show up anytime you want.
I was thinking maybe I could
take your boys to the game tonight.
Dad, where's Grandpa?
Just got a text from Grandpa.
He's not gonna make it.
His car broke down.
Everything all right?
My parents are fighting over my custody.
Everything's awesome.
Are you willing to quit your job
to raise her?
MILES: Are you willing to quit doing
whatever the hell it is you're doing?
See, secrets like this are exactly why
we didn't work out.
SPORTS CASTOR [OVER RADIO]:
lead with two outs, and
one, two, pitch. Struck him out.
- And the inning is over.
- [HORN HONKING]
- Little extra heavy lifting

[GRUNTING, GROANING]
Get on the ground.
Don't-don't shot.
Please. Check the back.
Do you guys even know
what you're stealing?

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
- [LAUGHING]
- No, I heard this sound,
and I was, I was literally snoring
in the movie theater
when Dee woke me up.
- Oh, was she embarrassed?
- Embarrassed? Please.
She laughed at me. Why would
What did she expect
taking me to a 8:00 movie
that's four hours long?
Mm-mm. That's too much.
- VI: What's going on, baby girl?
- Nothing.
Just the end of the world.
ROBYN: Is that teen code for
"the boy I like doesn't like me back"?
What? No.
I'm literally talking about
the end of the world.
Mark Jamison is giving a speech today
- at Washington Square Park.
- VI: Oh, is he that guy
that insists that climate
change isn't real?
Yes. Our planet is dying,
and every time he speaks,
he spreads more lies
about how it's all being
blown out of proportion.
Worst part is, is some people
actually believe him.
Some people don't want
to hear the truth.
They just want to believe
what they want to believe.
I know. And look,
I get that he has a right
to speak his mind or whatever, but
God, it just, it makes me furious
that the city would legitimize
him by giving him a platform.
He's allowed to voice his opinions,
and you have the right to voice yours
in whatever way you can.
Mm-hmm. You're right.
You know, in my Berkley days,
I couldn't get to a class
without going through a protest,
and some of those were pretty effective.
That is a great idea, Auntie.
Oh, my gosh.
You know what? It looks like
people are planning
on protesting already.
Yeah. You know, this guy, if he wants to
spew his lies,
then I will speak the truth even louder.
Okay, slow your roll.
Uh, watch yourself.
I'm proud of you for speaking your mind,
but some of these protests
can get rowdy.
Your mother's right.
And then there's social media.
You spout the wrong phrase,
there's a video, it gets misconstrued,
it's online forever.
Next thing you know,
you're applying for a job
and it comes back to haunt you.
Look, I-I totally get that,
and I promise I will be careful.
But what if Aunt Vi comes with me?
And I could probably get
some friends on board.
And we're gonna need signs, right?
I do have the supplies.
Catchy phrases were my expertise.
"Love thy neighbor
regardless of flavor."
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh. Oh.
That's right, that's right.
Bow down, bow down.
[LAUGHTER]
Okay, I am gonna go text some friends.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Well, I wish I could join the fun,
- but just let me know how it goes.
- Okay.
ROBYN: Be safe.
I saw an article in the paper
about a year ago.
A vigilante trying
to stop a serial killer.
Took me a bit, but I found
your message board.
[COUGHING]
Hey, are you okay?
Should I call a doctor?
It's too late for that.
I've been poisoned.
Poisoned? By who?
The Chinese government.
That's what they do to sleeper agents
who don't fall in line.
You're a Chinese sleeper agent?
And why should I help you?
Because I'm trying to help you.
Help this country.
I grew up in Beijing.
I was tapped by the MSS
when I was a teenager.
I-I've always had a penchant
for science, so they
Send you here to go to school.
And you became, what?
A chemist, physicist?
And then told you
one day you'll be activated.
Physicist.
They wanted me to work
in the energy sector.
Nothing for 20 years.
Then they reached out two days ago.
Summoned me to receive my orders.
But you refused the assignment?
I didn't even go to the meeting.
I love this country now
and everything it stands for.
I didn't want any part
in whatever they were
going to ask me to do.
Then yesterday, I started
to feel the symptoms.
Sweating, dizziness,
skin discoloration.
All signs of poisoning.
We should get you to a hospital.
[COUGHS]
No. They'll hook me up to machines,
run a bunch of tests.
We don't have time for that.
Giving how rapidly
my symptoms are advancing,
I don't think I'll be alive tomorrow.
And what would you want me to do?
First, my wife and son.
They mean everything to me.
I'm afraid the MSS will
go after them, too.
- Where are they now?
- At a hotel.
Safe for the moment,
but my own family doesn't
know who I really am.
I haven't even told Amy I'm dying.
How can I?
My entire life has been a lie.
Yeah, well, keeping things
from family takes a toll.
Truth is,
none of us are safe.
Whatever the MSS is planning,
they're capable of anything.
Do you have any idea
what they wanted you to do?
Not exactly,
but my lab specializes
in nanotechnology.
Nuclear fission, to be precise.
Nuclear fission? As in
As in the process used
to make weapons of mass destruction.
HARRY: You sure we can trust this guy?
Spies are known to kind of fudge
the truth a little bit.
Yeah, well,
the first rule of spy club is,
"don't talk about spy club," so
Well, he's definitely sick.
And he seemed genuinely afraid
for his family's safety.
I mean, we can all relate to that.
Yeah, it's hard to do what we do
and not worry about the consequences.
I've built a lot of walls
to protect Dee and Aunt Vi.
Hasn't always worked out.
Uh, it doesn't seem to matter
how many safeguards we put up.
I mean, every time you go out,
I worry that someone is
gonna come after you.
You know, somebody I pissed off
or your brother pissed off,
or your other brother pissed off.
I'm still here, babe,
and I'm gonna be fine.
We'll all be fine.
And Mike's family deserves to be safe.
HARRY: All right, well,
let me text Dante
and ask him to send a uni
over to the hotel.
All right, I'll reach out
to my CIA contacts.
See if any local
MSS activity's popped up on their radar.
In the meantime, let's at least
make sure the rest
of his story checks out.
Can you ask M.E.L. to do a deep dive
into Mike Chen's background?
Ooh, yeah. M.E.L., can you
M.E.L.: Do a deep dive into
Mike Chen's background?
I'll need a little more information
about which Mike Chen
you are talking about.
I thought it only responded
to your voice.
MEL: Apparently, it's only me
- it ignores.
- HARRY: Yeah.
I don't know what's going on there.
I got to look into that.
I think his little
AI girlfriend is jealous
- of her namesake.
- Ha, ha.
ROBYN: Anyway
We need to figure out
what the MSS is up to.
And stop it.
HARRY: Chen worked at a nanotech lab.
That's probably
a good place to start, right?
Okay. I'll go check it out. Look around.
MEL: Must be a lot
of security at that lab.
HARRY: Oh, yeah. Surveillance.
Biometric scanner at the entrance.
Even the bathrooms require
key card access.
You're not gonna be able
to waltz right in there.
I wasn't planning to.
♪
[DOOR CLOSES]
Excuse me, can I see some credentials?
Quincy Lewis from corporate.
Here to run a security check.
I didn't hear anything about that.
Well, you should've.
Frank Peters.
Been with the company for three years,
and you still don't understand
the importance of what we do here.
Of course I do.
But Do these lobby cams work?
Far as I know, they do.
If you want, I-I can
call my supervisor to
I don't have time.
Some of us have a job to do.
- So if you don't mind
- Of course.
♪
[BEEPS]
[MUFFLED GRUNTING]
They stole it. They stole it!
Calm down, stole what?
[OBJECT CLINKS NEARBY]
[GRUNTS]
Hey!
- Stop!
- [GRUNTS]
Okay, let's stay calm.
[ALARM BLARING]
Let me go. Please!
[CRIES OUT]
[GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
- You okay?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER POLICE RADIO]
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
Got to say, I never thought
you'd have a foreign
operative as a client.
Neither did I.
But he seems like a changed man.
True patriot,
wants to help any way he can.
So, why steal part of a microscope?
Said it's the only one of its kind.
Its super twin lenses are so powerful,
you can manipulate subatomic particles
with a precision previously impossible.
And now the Chinese have it.
- And its circuit board.
- Doesn't sound good.
Chen conformed
there are many possible uses.
One of them is making a bomb.
If they're going to all this trouble,
we must be talking about
one powerful bomb.
As if the world isn't in enough trouble.
You know, a couple of days ago,
NYPD/FBI Task Force found an
abandoned delivery truck in Queens.
Driver was unarmed.
Shot point-blank range in the chest.
You think it had
something to do with this?
Maybe. Ballistics
just came back today
matching another shooting
in the FBI database.
That suspect is a Chinese
national named Yun Shang.
Reportedly, he's
a senior agent in the MSS.
Well, what was in the hijacked truck?
Dirty laundry.
Cleaning service had just
picked it up from a nearby hotel.
So, they stole laundry?
My guess? They were after
the staff uniforms.
Right
so they could have
operatives already planted.
- What do you think they're planning?
- Not sure.
I've asked for a list of high-profile
guests staying at the hotel
or anyone checking in soon.
Well, let me know what you find out.
How you doing, anyway?
I mean, how's things with Big Ben?
Hmm. Exactly how I knew it'd be.
I gave in, against my better judgement,
agreed to let him
take the boys to a game.
You know what he did?
Canceled at the last minute,
leaving me to clean up his mess.
- How'd the boys take it?
- I covered.
And now he has me
wrapped up in his lies.
I'm done.
But you know what?
I can't even be mad at him.
I knew who he was
and I still let it happen.
- This is my fault.
- No.
No, no, no.
I'm not gonna let you
do that to yourself.
You did what you thought was right
so that the boys could have
something you didn't.
Did it turn out the way you planned? No.
But the point is you tried.
There's no regret in that.
Not even a little bit.
Those boys are lucky
to have you as a father.
Appreciate that.
AMY: The Chinese government
poisoned you because you're a spy?
Because I wouldn't do
what they asked me to do.
I'm sorry. This is crazy, Mike.
I don't understand how
you lied to me every day.
Was anything you told me true?
Are-are you really a physicist?
MIKE: Everything else
I've ever said is true.
Including how much I love you.
I almost told you so many times
and then I stopped believing
that they'd ever come for me.
But they did.
And now we're in danger, too.
What am I gonna tell Jack?
Amy, I'm so sorry.
I love you both so much.
We're gonna do everything
we can to keep you safe.
Starting with finding
out whoever did this.
If we can figure out
when you were poisoned,
- it'll help us track down who.
- Well, we know
it was after I blew off
that meet yesterday morning.
Okay.
And when did you first
become symptomatic?
- Yesterday afternoon.
- In that time span,
did you have contact with
anyone outside of your family?
Not that I remember.
I was alone for most of the afternoon,
driving around, trying to clear my head.
- Did you stop anywhere?
- Just the ATM,
but I didn't interact with anybody.
Just parked in the lot, got the money,
drove back to the hotel.
Your car.
They could have laced the door
handle while you were at the ATM.
- What time was that?
- Late afternoon.
Around 4:00, I think.
Okay. Give me the address.
I'll have my team check it out.
Thank you.
Mike, are you okay?
Isn't there anything we can do for him?
I don't know. But I'm gonna take him
to someone who might.
I told you, I don't have time
to go to a hospital.
We're not going to a hospital.
VI: We have recruits!
Yes. Power in numbers.
VI: This is so exciting.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow
I remember my first protest march
when I was a freshman.
- What were you marching for?
- VI: Against
it was an anti-apartheid rally.
We were trying to get the school to pull
its financial investments
out of South Africa.
Well, that was the idea, anyway.
- Wait, what do you mean?
- Well, I showed up with my sign,
ready to go, and the leaders
started talking about
"Let's storm the dean's office.
We don't care if we get
kicked out of school."
Well, at that time, I cared.
- A lot.
- VERA: Yeah.
Expelled for a protest? That would suck.
Yeah.
Progress comes at a cost,
and we made real progress.
So, what do you say we get started?
DELILAH: Yes.
Hey, can I, uh, talk to you?
Yeah. What's wrong?
I just don't think I'm ready to do this.
Vera, no. You know this
guy is bad news, right?
Okay? We have got to stand up.
No, I know. It's just
I keep thinking about
how angry my parents are
gonna get if they find
out that I went to a protest.
And after Aunt Vi's story, I
I get it.
I totally understand.
I'm really sorry.
I know we were trying
to make some noise.
Don't worry, I got you. You know what?
I will just shout twice as loud.
Thanks, Dee.
- Bye.
- DELILAH: Bye.
[DOOR OPENS]
- She just wasn't ready.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Yeah. Well, protesting
isn't for everyone.
That's why it's so important
that the rest of us
show up.
VI: Come on.
Grab a brush.
[CHUCKLES]
I got to tell you,
I feel bad for our client.
I mean, can you imagine knowing
that you had 24 hours to live?
And I say, as-as someone
who was officially dead
for, you know, five years,
there's a lot of living
I'd like to do before
I bite the dust for real.
- Carpe diem, huh?
- Carpe diem. Tempus fugit, you know.
The Romans really had
that whole mortality thing dialed in.
Okay, so what's on your bucket list?
No, wait. I know. Ballroom dancing
- Check.
- What else?
Um, you know, we never took
that trip to the Seychelles
- we always talk about.
- Oh, you mean our honeymoon?
That would be so nice.
- Yeah.
- What else?
- Uh, making the perfect brisket.
- Mmm.
- Running a marathon.
- [CHUCKLES]
You drive two blocks
to the deli for coffee in the morning,
and now you're gonna run
26 miles for fun?
I didn't say it was at
the top of the list.
Ha!
Hello there. Hey.
Wondering if, uh, you were
working here yesterday.
- Yeah, why?
- Well, we parked here
at around 4:00 p.m. and our Lambo
got broken into and we're
trying to figure out,
- you know, who did it.
- I don't remember a Lambo.
Yeah, well, do you remember, uh,
seeing, uh, you know, anybody suspicious
around, I don't know, 4:00
in the afternoon yesterday?
Nope. Sorry.
I told you not to leave
my bag in the car!
Did you even lock the door?
No. Why bother?
Oh, I'm just an idiot. I'm an idiot.
It It was vintage.
The bag was vintage.
It was irreplaceable. Unlike you.
- I said it. Yeah.
- Oh. Wow.
Dude, you gotta
you gotta help me out.
Uh Okay, let me think.
Uh
I could look through
the credit card receipts,
that's almost everyone who came through.
- Okay.
- Except for the guy who paid cash.
Cash?
Your sign says "credit only."
It was some guy on a dirt bike.
Zipped in and out,
but he didn't have a credit card on him,
so I let him pay cash.
Do you remember what he looked like?
Uh, wore a helmet.
Couldn't see his face.
What about the bike?
That I remember
Honda CRF, bright red.
250. Sweet ride.
Okay. Thanks, pal.
- [SNIFFLES] Thank you.
- Come on, honey.
- Lambo? Really?
- It's on the bucket list.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
ROBYN: Miles
sorry to just show up like this,
but I need your help.
He's in bad shape
and we don't have
anywhere else to go.
Okay. Come on. Let's get him inside.
- Thanks, Miles.
- Really.
Okay, M.E.L. says
according to the traffic cams,
motorcycle went down
this block and headed east.
- Well, if M.E.L. says so.
- Hang gliding.
What do you think about hang gliding?
I think you're gonna kill yourself
- while trying to live your best life.
- Mm.
Bike turned left here.
Well, this is helpful. There's what?
300 apartments attached to this alley?
Well, hold on a second. M.E.L. says that
because these two buildings
have service entrances
that go out into the alley,
there's a high probability
that the biker went into one of them.
Can I at least have her
narrow down the search?
Sure.
Okay. Uh, M.E.L.,
generate a list of all tenants
that live in 5456 and 5458 Fenimore,
with background checks.
- M.E.L.: [CHIRPS] Task completed.
- Huh, that was fast.
Anyone interesting pop up?
A known secret agent, perhaps?
Not exactly, but look at this.
There's a tenant
Myrtle Foster in apartment 8.
She's been dead for
12 years, only somebody
with her social security number
has been paying her rent.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, fine.
So it's not totally useless.
- Right?
- Yeah.
And we get to spend more
time in the field together.
Yay, just the three of us.
- What?
- Nothing.
♪
- Clear.
- Yeah.
Wow. This gives new meaning
to the word "minimalism."
Yeah. I think it's less a design style
and more of an occupational choice.
Yeah. A safe house.
The question is, who was using it?
You know, I-I didn't see
any security cams,
but there was a-a doorbell cam
at one of the neighbors'.
Hey, M.E.L., can you hack
into the doorbell cam
on Apartment 6?
Show me all the footage
starting from yesterday,
at around 4:30 p.m.
Look at that. Our guy's not alone.
MELANIE: Mm-hmm.
We're dealing with pros.
They know how to hide
their face from the camera.
Well, maybe we can catch them
leaving the apartment.
There's got to be a street cam Oh.
M.E.L.: Task completed.
MELANIE: Uh, got to say,
it's a little creepy that it
didn't wait, for you to ask it.
Yeah? Creepy or cool?
It's starting to anticipate my needs.
- I'm gonna stick with creepy.
- Okay.
- [HIGH-PITCHED BUZZ]
- Oh, there they are.
MELANIE: Faces hidden from the camera.
Again.
HARRY: They might be able
to avoid cameras,
but nobody can escape NYC potholes.
M.E.L., enlarge that reflection.
MELANIE: That's Yun Shang.
The laundry thief.
M.E.L [HIGH-PITCHED BUZZ]
MELANIE: Wait a second.
Mike Chen's wife?
What is she doing here?
HARRY: And what the hell
is she doing with Yun Shang?
An MSS agent isn't bringing
just anyone to his safe house.
Maybe she's a spy?
A sleeper agent, like Mike?
If she is, and she knows
that he refused that assignment,
she could have been
the one that poisoned him.
- [EXHALES]
- Oof. I mean,
if the poison doesn't kill him,
that sure might.
The sent Chen's own wife to poison him?
Are you really that surprised?
The MSS has zero chill.
What do we know about Amy Chen?
Well, her father was a member of
the American Communist Party.
He was blackballed
because of his involvement,
like a lot of people.
Lost his job, his career.
Died young from a heart attack.
I guess Amy took that pretty hard.
That's one way to put it.
In college, she double-majored
in Communist Studies, and Mandarin.
Then she spent her junior year
studying in China.
That's got to be when
they recruited her.
She's exactly who they'd approach.
Young, vulnerable, and angry at America.
Yeah, the MSS trifecta.
It's probably her I crossed with
at that lab.
Same height and weight as
the thief who stole the lens.
Harry, we need to bring her in now.
HARRY: I mean, we don't
have much to go on.
Guys, I might have something.
Looks like something was here.
A router, maybe.
Dust is fresh.
Yeah, they just took it down.
If they just folded up their tent
and are going home, then, uh
They might be in the endgame.
Which means we don't have much
time to stop whatever they're planning.
Harry, can you find out who
they were communicating with?
Without a router, trying to find an IP
among millions
of communications is like,
you know, trying to find
a needle in a digital haystack.
- Good thing you got M.E.L.
- [CALL WAITING BEEPS]
Hey, guys, I got Dante calling.
Keep me posted.
Well, did you hear that, M.E.L.?
The gauntlet has been thrown.
Let's see what you got. [SIGHS]
Are you, like, giving it a pep talk?
She likes the encouragement.
Looks like Chen's wife is
working for the MSS as well.
She might even be
the one who poisoned him.
That's gonna be one hell of
a therapy session.
I'll contact the uni
posted at their hotel
and have 'em bring her in.
Thanks, Dante.
Whatever you need. I got you.
I know you do.
One more thing. I have an update
on that laundry truck robbery.
No one of note currently
staying at the hotel,
but some VIPs checked out
the same day the truck was robbed.
What kind of VIPs?
Foreign dignitaries.
Apparently there was
an event at the U.N.
- a couple of days ago.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
Uni at the hotel just texted.
Amy Chen gave him the slip. She's gone.
We have to track her down fast.
I'll put a BOLO out.
Think the husband can help us?
I'll find out soon.
I'm taking his bloodwork back to Miles,
who's checking him out.
Miles your ex-husband?
He helps out sometimes.
Wasn't aware.
Okay, ladies, here we go.
Yes!
[INDISTINCT CROWD CHATTER]
- Dee. Hey.
- Hey.
Are you guys still planning to protest?
Uh, yeah, we're headed there now.
Are you leaving?
It's heating up,
and the crowds are getting rowdy. Look.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Looks intense.
It's too intense for me.
Uh, one second, sweetheart.
Dee, can I talk to you a minute?
Yeah.
You know I'm proud of you,
right, for doing this?
But I think we need to rethink it.
Wait, what?
No, we've been thinking
about this all day.
I know. But this has now turned
into an angry crowd
looking for a fight.
Okay, so you think we shouldn't go?
Baby, I don't think it's worth the risk.
Auntie, someone needs
to stand up in this guy's face
and say no. That is worth it to me.
I understand, and I even agree,
but you know what
we talked about this morning?
Yeah, I know. Social media posts
can hurt my future,
but that does not scare me.
If this is a choice between
my future or my principles,
I'm sorry, I choose my principles.
My darling, this has nothing
to do with social media.
If this gets rough,
someone can get hurt.
You can get hurt.
I get what you're saying.
But if his message continues to grow,
and I didn't do anything,
then how can I expect others
to do something?
Please. We can stand in the back,
and-and if it gets too rowdy
then we can leave right away, I promise.
ROBYN: Do you have any idea
where your wife might have gone?
I don't.
Does she have any family in the area?
Any friends she might go to?
I honestly have no idea.
I'm sorry, I-I can
barely think straight.
Look, I know this is hard, Mike.
My entire marriage was a sham.
I might have lied to her,
but I really do love her.
Hey, Rob?
Excuse me a sec.
You figure out what they hit him with?
Well, I thought it might
have been thallium sulfate,
but the bloodwork shows
it's likely a hybrid substance.
ROBYN: Anything you can do for him?
I've tried.
Nothing's working.
His systems are shutting down.
Best I can do is keep him comfortable.
- You know him well?
- No.
But I know what it's like to
regret some of the same choices
he's had to make.
Like keeping secrets from
the people you love the most.
Look, I know we've clashed on this,
but you've always done
what you thought was best.
I respect you for that.
Still, you always said secrets
are why we didn't work.
Can't say I'd do things
a whole lot differently.
But there are times
I wish I would have been
more open with you.
I'm trying to be more open these days.
Well, I'm happy to hear that.
And listen, I apologize
for how I acted over Dee's custody.
Rob, I was frustrated and concerned.
But still, it's no excuse.
I was wrong.
I appreciate that.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Miles, I have to take this.
- Yeah, yeah.
What do you got, Harry?
Good news. I got a hit
on the safe house router.
M.E.L. traced every IP address
that made contact,
but there was one that stood out.
It belongs to an apartment in Queens
owned by a Gene Yuan.
He's a professor of genetics.
Mel's on her way over there right now.
Well, send me a pin,
I'll meet her there.
Hey, just one thing, though.
If the Chinese are building a bomb,
why do they need a geneticist?
I was thinking that myself.
There's something we're missing.

Come on, Auntie, come on.
Come on, pick up, pick up.
Come on, come on. Please, please.
Don't move.
Hands where I can see them.
- Wait. Wait.

Why are you why are
you cuffing me? What did I do?
You're under arrest
for disorderly conduct
and disturbing the peace.
Anything you say can be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
Move! Get against the wall.
- [GRUNTS]
- Where's that microscope lens?
What are they using it for?
I'm not telling you anything.
ROBYN: What are you doing for them?
YUAN: I'm not telling you a thing!
Oh!
Oh! God
- What was he trying to burn?
- Research papers.
And sheets.
Those were stolen
from that laundry truck.
What would a geneticist
want with bedsheets?
And what does this have to do
with a microscope lens?
Geneticists work with
gene sequencing. DNA.
They don't want the uniforms.
They wanted the linens,
specifically what was on them.
DNA. They were collecting samples
of the dignitaries
that stayed at that hotel.
All the VIP suites have
a unique style of bedsheets,
easy to identify.
They're not using that lens
to make a bomb.
No, it's scarier.
They're making a bioweapon
that can target individuals
using their own DNA.
ROBYN: Designer poison tailor-made
to someone's gene sequence.
I've heard rumors about countries
trying to make a weapon like that, but,
so far, they haven't had the technology.
Until now.
ROBYN: I'm gonna ask you again,
where's that lens?
Ask all you want, I'm not talking.
That's what they all say.

[PHONE RINGS]
Hey, Harry.
I'm at the location Yuan gave us.
Mel stayed behind to
press him for more info.
Copy that. Let me know if you find them.
Harry, I got 'em.
I don't have time to argue.
[ENGINE REVVING]
Stop!
[GRUNTS]
- Where is it? Where's the lens?
- I don't have it.
I gave it to Shang.
Damn it.
- Where's he taking that lens?
- Out of the country.
I don't know how or where.
Now is not the time
- to lie to me.
- I'm not lying.
I'm not the horrible person
you think I am.
Doubt it.
I admit my marriage started off
as a way for the MSS
to keep an eye on Mike, but then
I fell in love with my husband.
Well, you got a funny way of showing it.
You think I'm the one who poisoned him?
I would never do that to him. In fact,
I was trying to trade the lens
for an antidote,
but Shang double-crossed me.
- Because there is no antidote.
- No, there is.
The poison they use is synthetic.
They make the antidote at the same time.
So they can use the antidote
for leverage,
- if necessary.
- I've seen it.
Shang keeps the doses
in a black Pelican case.
Let's go.
[PHONE RINGING]
What's up, Rob?
Harry, Shang got away
and we have no idea
where he's going with that lens.
Find anything that might help
in those papers Yuan was burning?
I mean, most of the documents
were just dealing with
this DNA bioweapon he was working on.
There was also a photo
of an office building.
Another safe house?
I mean, I thought so, too,
until M.E.L. located the building.
It's in Brooklyn, abandoned,
not to mention it's nowhere near
a shipyard, airfield, bridge
Not a spot you'd choose if
you were planning to leave town.
No, probably a decoy.
MSS's way of sending us
on a wild goose chase.
Then why was Yuan trying to destroy it?
Harry, did you enlarge that photo?
Of course.
Have M.E.L. go deeper.
All right.
Well, look at that.
There's a prize at the bottom
of that Cracker Jack box after all:
a bunch of numbers embedded
in the pixels.
Run them as coordinates.
- [LAUGHS]
- Nice, Rob.
It's a private airfield,
20 minutes away.
Sending you the location.
Tell Mel to meet me there.
He might not be alone.
Don't move.
- [GUNFIRE]

He's making a run for it!
I need to stop that plane
from taking off.
Go. I'll cover you.

You're going to take it.
No.
It should be you. Jack needs his mother.
I can't be there for him.

At least you'd be alive.

Why should today be any different?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
W-What about your bucket list?
I feel like I don't even have

Does that make me a terrible husband?
No. The truth is, I'm content.
I don't have one.
I don't really think about death.
- You don't, do you?
- Mm-mm.
- I'm so jealous.
- No.
I imagined it plenty of times,
back when I was deployed.
You know, ready for combat every day,
death felt

But you get used to it.
And then it doesn't scare you anymore.
