Covert Affairs s04e15 Episode Script

Previously on Covert Affairs Back from Geneva already? I go where Henry Wilcox goes.
We have transcripts of Henry's phone calls in Geneva.
We have photographs of him with his contacts there.
The world needs to know what Henry's done.
Teo and Annie are dead because of him.
I can use whatever resources I can to out Henry and get our lives back.
Our main goal now is to defend Arthur against these charges, not counterpunch recklessly.
Annie? You're alive.
- You got Henry? - No.
He set up a decoy.
Where the hell's Henry? We're gonna get him, Auggie.
- How? - I need to find Nelson Smith.
He's the one who's moving Henry's money.
When did he tell you to move the money? - Late last night.
- Where'd you take it? To a diamond wholesaler in Brooklyn.
Courier's picking it up this afternoon.
- Where's he taking them? - Henry's pickin' up shop.
He's movin' to Hong Kong.
Why is he going to Hong Kong? If we don't come back with anything, this is basically a one-way trip.
This is a big-ass haystack of a city to find a needle in.
Those diamonds Annie tracked down in New York are Henry's future.
He's gotta come out sooner or later to get 'em.
Catching him here is gonna be complicated.
This is the clearest mission I've had in months.
We track the diamond courier to Henry, we grab Henry, and we take him back to pay for what he's done.
It's an unsanctioned mission on Chinese soil.
We just gotta remember to play by Hong Kong rules.
Every neighbor could be a spy.
MSS is the biggest big brother there is.
Three off-book CIA operatives with a lot of intel to get tortured out of.
And if we get caught, it won't be pretty.
Welcome to my world.
I've been operating this way for months.
There it is.
A safe house.
That pass is scheduled to happen in less than an hour.
We got to get you guys in position on those escalators before the courier gets there.
Let's move.
- Joan? - Arthur.
I have to tell you something, but I didn't want to talk about it on the phone.
If this is about Teo, I'm not gonna pretend that ordering the torture of my son is something I can forget.
Arthur-- But I know the reason you left is-- is just 'cause of the way I reacted.
That's not why I left.
I found Annie.
She's alive.
No sign of the courier at the top.
I'm headed down.
Calder, keep headin' up.
No courier yet, but it's a nice hike.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Escalators only go down in the morning.
All right.
You both should be reaching Hollywood Road in about a minute.
That's where the pass should take place.
Stay a level or two away from each other, okay? What, you mean a white woman and a black guy might be easy to spot? Well, next time, I'll come along so we're not too conspicuous.
Calder, I got him.
Blue shirt, tan jacket.
He's headed to the intersection of Lyndhurst and Gage.
He's got the case.
Right on time.
On my way.
Keep an eye out for the pass.
Annie, you got anything? I lost him.
Any sign of him? I-I--Calder, do you have him? I got nothin' on my end.
I got him.
Does he still have the briefcase? Any sign of Henry? He doesn't have the case.
Damn it.
Grab that courier.
He's our only line back to Henry.
We lose him, we got nothin'.
He's headed down the stairs to Lyndhurst Terrace.
I got him.
I got eyes on him.
- He's on the run.
- I got him, I got him.
Calder.
Ah! No! What just happened? I think he's dead.
We can't let anybody see us here.
Hong Kong police force'll be all over this.
Wait, that's what I'm hoping for.
What are you talking about? Dead or alive, he's still our only lead to Henry.
No, Annie.
No, Ann-- Excuse me.
I saw this man at the escalator.
He was talking to someone.
What happened, miss? He was on the escalators arguing with someone, and then he started running away.
- Was he a friend of yours? - No.
No, I-- Calder, what is she doing? I think he's dead.
Going to the cops.
She's-- All right, let her follow it down.
Let her follow it down.
Excuse me.
And you didn't get a good look at this person he was talking to? It was a big crowd, but I might recognize him if I saw him again.
You will need to come to the station and answer some questions.
- Okay.
- Come with me.
Annie called an audible, ran right into the fray.
Yeah, she's using the police to help I.
D.
whoever the courier passed that briefcase to.
And improvising like that puts this entire operation in jeopardy.
Henry could already be onto us.
What are you talkin' about? Whoever took that briefcase is now our only link to Henry in Hong Kong.
Yeah, how are we gonna beat Henry Wilcox if Annie keeps operating like she's by herself? Calder, the only reason we're this close to Henry is because of what Annie did when she was on her own.
Now I can't hack into the security cameras on the escalators, so if you want to know who Henry gave his entire fortune to in that briefcase, Annie's our best chance.
Miss.
This way, please.
I'm Detective Wong.
Thank you for helping out today.
It's not a problem.
When did you arrive in Hong Kong? Uh, this morning.
- Oh, from the U.
S.
? - Mm-hmm.
You must be jet-lagged.
Where are you staying here in Hong Kong? Um, I got a place on Airbnb.
Why were you at mid-level? I wasn't able to check in yet, and so I was just killing a few hours.
I went to see the Man Mo Temple.
Ah, well, sorry to put a damper on your sightseeing plans.
We'll get you out of here as soon as we can.
Well, this is certainly out of the blue.
I've been squeezing the Attorney General for it, but I didn't want to get your hopes up.
Ii didn't ask for a plea deal.
Look, Arthur.
It's my responsibility to make sure you have options.
This is a guilty plea and a jail sentence.
But no murder and no treason charges.
I'm not guilty.
We both know that doesn't matter.
Teo committed major crimes, and you're gonna take the fall.
Teo was a patriot and a hero.
You missed out on raising one child.
Do you really want to lose your second chance? How am I gonna do that from a jail cell? You sign this and you get eight to ten, tops.
You lose in court, and you could go away for life.
DOJ's got an airtight case.
- What if they don't? - This is what I mean.
You need to listen to reason.
Henry Wilcox is responsible, and we're close to proving it.
How? With what evidence? If you have something that can prove Henry's guilt, I strongly suggest you share it with me so I can use it to our advantage.
You asked me to admit to something I didn't do.
You funded Teo and his terrorist activities for years.
There are bank statements, trails to your pension.
You even used Auggie Anderson to set up accounts for him in Colombia.
Look, Arthur.
This is your only way out.
- Hm.
- Take it.
Do it for your family.
I implore you.
Do you have any other angles? This is all we have.
Should we slow it down? Please, there are so many people on the escalator.
Stop.
That's him with the man who died.
Wait here.
Calder, she's got him.
Do you have any way to run this through the database at Langley? Already sent it to Joan.
Running it through now.
How did you get this? And where's Annie? She's at a Hong Kong police precinct.
She improvised once the courier was taken off the board.
She got HKPF to show her security cam footage.
I've got a match, but we've got a problem.
The man who took the diamonds from the courier is Oliver Li.
He's MSS, fourth in command at the Third Bureau.
Henry's working with the Chinese spy service? Soon as Hong Kong police realize she's I.
D.
ed an MSS agent, they'll never let her go.
She's gotta get out of there, Auggie.
We're on it.
Good afternoon.
Miss I'm glad you're here.
It saved me having to track you down myself.
And why would you come looking for me? I have a picture that I thought might be of interest to you.
I thought maybe you'd want to handle the situation yourself.
I want Henry Wilcox.
You help me bring him to U.
S.
soil, and you can have all the diamonds for yourself.
Hush, hush.
It's been ten minutes since we texted her.
If she's not out in two minutes more, I'm going in after her.
Come on.
Guys, meet Oliver Li.
He's coming with us.
Let me guess: Oliver didn't want his friends at MSS finding out he made a side deal with Henry.
And his friends are not exactly friendly, so he's making a new deal with us.
He's gonna help us catch Henry, we're gonna keep that picture of him taking the briefcase to ourselves, and he gets to keep all of Henry's diamonds.
This isn't necessary.
You have the leverage you need against me.
I'm not going anywhere.
You're still a spy.
If the roles were reversed, would you trust me? No.
There was close to $200 million on those stolen pallets.
What was your take gonna be? Try 30.
You help us catch Henry, you get to keep it all.
I'm guessing $200 million means more to you than the motherland.
What can I say? I'm a capitalist at heart.
Pleasure doing business with you, Oliver.
Take a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
You are the entire team? Looks like the CIA greatly underestimates how dangerous Henry Wilcox actually is.
If anyone has a healthy understanding of what Henry can do, it's us.
Henry will be ready for war, and you don't have backup.
You're going to fail.
Look, pal.
You better do everything in your power to make sure we don't fail, or you're taking the first bullet.
Hear me? Can I talk to you? We need him to trust us.
The money's enough incentive.
stolen CIA dollars.
In untraceable diamonds that he already has in his possession, which we will never see no matter what happens.
You want to go all in with a Chinese spy? What if he doesn't lead us to Henry? Call Henry.
Schedule a meet somewhere public.
Hey.
I came home as soon as I could.
Things are moving quickly in Hong Kong.
They're closing in on Henry.
- I think we are too.
- What's going on? Well, it's my turn to tell you something I couldn't say over the phone.
Bianca came by, and she brought me a plea deal.
You didn't sign it, did you? No, of course not.
Did you ever mention to Bianca that I sent Auggie to Medellin to open that bank account for Teo? What? No.
We agreed to keep Annie and Auggie out of the testimony.
Well, while she was laying out the litany of proof against me, she specifically referenced that I sent him to Colombia, but it is nowhere in any of these depositions.
She actually mentioned Auggie by name? I never even told her I sent an operative down there.
I said I set up the account myself.
So how did she know? The only other person who knew about that was Annie, and she found out from-- Henry.
Bianca slipped up.
Oh, my God.
Bianca might just be the smoking gun we can use against him.
What does Henry Wilcox have on you? Now why would I tell you something like that, especially after you gave me a better way out? As long as you deliver Henry.
What are you gonna do with the money? Are you gonna stay in Hong Kong? I'm up for early pension in six months, so I can't leave before then.
Why? You don't need the pension now.
The ministry would get suspicious.
But yes, the day I resign is the day I disappear with all of Henry Wilcox's hard-earned fortune.
You don't like being a spy? You and I, we put our lives on the line, but it's just a game.
I realized a long time ago that the only way you can win the game is by getting out.
Hey, Walker.
We got eight hours till the meet.
My shift now.
Go grab some downtime.
Mingus? Better than small talk with Calder.
How about small talk with me? Eh.
Nothing you and I have to talk about is small.
I know.
I'm kind of hungry.
You wanna grab a bite? Sure.
You said you were hungry, but I don't hear any slurping.
I guess I got used to eating alone.
I'm sorry, I know this hasn't been easy for you either.
At least now I'm not worried about where you are, or if you are.
Sometimes I don't remember what life was like before I went dark.
Annie, that's what it feels like when you're at war.
Everything we lost, everything he put us through, in eight hours, it'll be over.
Either we get Henry, or we die trying.
We're gonna get him.
And then, we're goin' home.
Two minutes to showtime.
You know your dance steps? Get on the tram with Henry.
You get in the front car.
I'll be in the back.
Get off halfway up the hill, MacDonnell Road.
We'll park next to the stop.
You just get Henry as close to this van as possible.
Annie will be following from a distance.
Once he's in position, she'll force him in from behind.
You sure I shouldn't be the one doing the follow? If Henry spots Annie, this whole thing is over.
If I didn't know how to follow someone without being noticed, I would've been dead a long time ago.
Check his wire? All right, Oliver, give me a sound check.
What'd you just say? He said, "good luck.
It's gonna be great.
" It's workin'.
Looks like he's here.
Let's do this.
You ready? Don't worry about me.
Just keep up your end.
I'll be right behind you.
Annie.
You ready? You know, I've never been more ready for anything in my life.
Yeah? You asked for Michaels and Anderson's whereabouts.
I think I might have them.
One of our jets took off from Dix Field in Linwood, New Jersey almost 48 hours ago, destination unknown.
I pinged the transponder.
Says it's now in Hong Kong.
Auggie and Calder are here? I think so.
Thank you, Eric.
Thanks for meeting me on such short notice.
Your call concerned me.
I wasn't expecting any hiccups.
I wasn't expecting your man to be hit by a car.
Let's take a ride.
Listen up.
We've got eyes on the tram.
Soon as they get off, be in position to force Henry into the van.
Let's get off here so we can talk privately.
No, no, let's go to the summit.
Enjoy the view.
Henry, I'm not here to take in the sights.
I took care of your dead courier at great personal expense.
I need your assurances that that will not happen again.
At the top, there'll be safety in numbers.
They didn't get off the tram.
- You hear that? - Yeah.
Grabbing Henry at the summit's gonna be a lot harder.
You have two minutes.
I love Victoria Peak.
The view is so relaxing.
It helps me to think more clearly.
And one of your Chinese proverbs comes to mind.
You must know it.
"Fortune does not come twice.
Misfortune does not come alone.
" You profited immensely from the chopper strike in Copenhagen.
As did you.
And it never would've happened if I hadn't planned every last detail for you, would it? You get Henry, I'll get the car.
I owe you nothing, Henry.
But you do.
An explanation.
I thought we were in this together.
I trusted you with my money.
And then, in repayment, you lured me into a trap? Don't be so surprised, Oliver.
We are both spies, remember? I didn't think you'd be completely honest with me.
You shouldn't think I'd be completely honest with you.
Auggie, you've got company.
Open your door as hard as you can when I tell you.
Ready? Three, two, one.
I got Li.
I got Li.
Freeze! Guys, come on.
Henry's guys were waitin' for us.
How the hell'd he know we were here? Oliver must've signaled him.
Why? So he can kill me too? I told you you'd fail.
Look, can we just figure out how we are gonna follow Henry? He is getting farther away by the minute.
In case you weren't paying attention, we are blown here.
Our only advantage was Henry not knowing we were coming.
Henry doesn't know I'm alive.
You do not know that.
Look, we came here to get Henry, and that is exactly what we are gonna do.
But we don't need him anymore.
We have Oliver.
We're gonna take him back.
He's gonna testify about Copenhagen.
That wasn't the deal we made.
The deal has changed.
And you think MSS will let me leave with you? They'll kill all of us before they do that.
Yeah, well, that's just a risk we're gonna have to take.
All right, he is our best bet right now.
Arthur will be exonerated, and you can finally come back home.
I can't go home without Henry.
You can't, or you won't? I mean, come on, Annie.
This could be your last chance to get back.
Do you really want to give that up? The idea of leaving here without Henry turns my stomach, but I would rather leave now with a chance to make things right than not be able to leave at all.
If we leave without Henry, he wins.
He goes unpunished.
Annie, Henry forced you into this game, but you get to decide what you're playing for.
And you better decide fast because our window to get off this island is closing by the minute.
Bianca.
Arthur.
I knew you'd change your mind.
How much has he been paying you to tank my case? Who? Henry Wilcox.
That's an outrageous accusation.
I never told you that I sent Auggie to Medellin.
Neither did Joan.
Henry was the only other person that knew.
So when did he first contact you? About a week after you returned from Germany.
Tell me what you know, Bianca.
You can either tell me right now, or you can tell the Attorney General.
I'm sorry, Arthur.
I can't.
Joan.
Come on, pick up.
Joan? Honey, can you hear me? Get out of the house now, okay? Right now.
Now.
They're coming.
Joan, we've got Oliver Li, and we're headed to the plane now.
Oh, my God.
Uh, are you both okay? Okay, well, uh, you take care of each other, and--and we'll take care of things here.
Well, what is it? What's going on? Henry put a hit out on Arthur and Joan.
Joan's okay.
Arthur's been stabbed, and they're operating on him now.
That son of a bitch.
Think we got a problem of our own.
They found us.
How'd they find us so quickly? Hold your line and let 'em grow on us.
Wrap your arms around me, and hold on tight.
Nice shot.
I'm guessing we lost them.
Yeah, for now.
If they found us once, they can find us again.
Can I get a cigarette, please? You took them yesterday with my wallet and my phone.
Oliver's phone.
That's how they're tracking us.
Get rid of 'em now.
Wait.
I can take the phone.
I can use the phone to get Henry's men to follow us to the ferry.
That'll buy you enough time to get back to the plane.
I'll loop around and meet you there.
I think I've finally learned not to try to stop you when your mind's made up.
Thank you, Calder.
We'll meet you on the tarmac.
Annie.
Auggie, I have to do this.
I was just gonna say good luck.
Thanks.
Go.
- Mrs.
Campbell? - Yes? I'm Dr.
Adams, part of your husband's surgical team.
- How is he? - He's doing well.
He's asking for you in recovery.
I can take you to see him now.
Thank God.
Arthur.
In that moment, all I could think of was you.
The thought of not seeing you.
I'm here now.
We're here now.
Come on, the jet's already warming up.
We're not goin' anywhere without Annie.
We're not gonna leave her behind.
Let's go, we'll wait for her on the plane, Auggie.
Annie.
Auggie, did you make it to the plane? Oliver's on board with Calder.
They should be safely out of Chinese airspace in minutes.
Then where are you? There's no way I'm leaving, not without you.
Auggie, I didn't stay to try and catch him.
I have a different plan now.
You know that, right? You know I'm with you no matter how this thing ends.
Just tell me what you need me to do.
Auggie I gotta go.
Hey.
You lookin' for this? Hold her! Oh, my God.
Hello, Miss Walker.
