"But that's not the only reason why I'm here, you know." "I got a job offer." "Uh, here we go." "Pete-- one of my buddies from the SEAL teams-- he's got a lady who's got some problems." "She called him 'cause he's in Special Forces." "But he's got this blood pressure thing... so he called me." " What doyou say?" " My plate's a little full, Sam." "What, you mean with this whole Philip Cowan thing?" "Mike, you're doing armed sit-ups." "I'm worried aboutyou." " I thought this might getyour mind offit." " Cowan burned me." "Cowan sent someone to kill me." "Now he dropped off grid." " I need my mind focused on this." " All right." "Fair enough." " You mind ifl run with this?" "The money's not bad."

"I don't trust him." "[ Michael Narrating] The first step in dealing with a covert op... is establishing a way to communicate privately, a code." "Could be a key-encrypted cipher." "But, really... allyou need is a base ofknowledge thatyou share." "He knows my enti re career-- falsified a good bit of it." "It shouldn't be too difficult for him to figure out a way to talk to me." "Ah, the mating dance of the spy." "It's a wonder spies everget close enough to kill each other, isn't it?" " Oh, gotta go." " Veronica has you on a pretty tight leash, huh?" "Hardy-har." "I'm meeting with a prospective client." "Mike, buddy, you call me ifyou need anything." "Fiona,just keep doin' whatever it is you do." "Thanks for meeting me." "I" " I thought there were two ofyou." "Uh, yeah, usually, but my partner's on somethin' else right now." "But it's fine." "So, um, Pete says you're having some trouble?" "Uh, I'm a supervisor at S.X.G."

"Herhusband, Kent, is abusive, controlling." "The only time she has alone is at the office." "But to sign in guests, you have to have security clearance, so" "So you did her a favor." "Her boyfriend stole files... took photos of them together in the building." "I'm the one who signed him in." "I could lose my clearance, myjob, go to jail even." " He's blackmailing us."

"We'll just fill in the blanks ourselves, I guess." "Now, listen, when was the first time Melissa ever talked about her new friend Dave?" "Mom?" "I got here as fast as I could." "What's the problem?" "I got a phone call, Michael." "I was scared." " Phone call?" "What kind of phone call?" " It was foryou." "Some man." "He wouldn't leave his name or his number-- nothing." "All he said was, "Van Buren Avenue," and then he hangs up." " What's that supposed to mean?" " Oh, it was probablyjust a friend." "That isn't how friends behave, Michael." "All right?"

"Yeah, a buddyofmine, he's got a process that recycles titanium golfclubs." "It's gonna totally revolutionize the golfclub" " Forget it." " Mom, why did you call Nate?" "I called your brother too because I was scared." "What's goin' on here?" "A strange man phoned here." "Michael won't tell me anything about him because it's all a big mystery." "It's just better ifl don't get into it." "Trust me." "I know what I'm doing." "There's nothing to worryabout." "This man who called-- hejust wants to talk." "But you can't talk to us?" "You know, in 20years, Michael, I have never asked any questions." "But this is my home." "It's not like it's some war off in some country that I've never even heard of." "This" " This is your family." "Oh, I know." " [ Door Opens ] - [ Mouths Word ]" " [ Door Closes ]" " Okay." "You can tell me." "Seriously, what's goin' on here?" "Nate, I need you to watch Mom."

" Am I to beyour new drinking buddy?" " Ah-- [ Chuckles ] Yeah." "Uh, it's this job that I'm on-- I need some backup." "And Mike's mind is pretty much on this whole Cowan business." "So I thought" "Of me." "I thought ofyou." "Yes, that's what I thought." " [ Chuckles ]" " What's the job?" "Well, it's a blackmail thing." "And one ofthe victims got spooked, so she's not saying where she met the bad guy." "But I think I got enough to put it together." "She met him out at a bar, and I have an approximate date." " That's not much to go on." " I got a guywho's pulling her credit card statement." "Find the charge, find the bar, find the guy." " And you need a wingman." " Damn straight, skippy." "My fee is 500 up front, expenses, and an hourly as we go." " You never charge Mike." " Oh, I expect other things from Michael." "[ Cell Phone Ringing]" " Yeah, Fi." " Sam just hired me for a job." "I thought he was gonna be ill." "It was so much fun, Michael." "I wishyou could have been there." "Cowan sent me a message." "I'm searching the cafés of South Beach for a cutout." "Don't you think he'll come himself?" "He seems eager to meet you." "[ Michael] I doubt it." "He'll sendsomeone." "I did something similar in Belgradeyears ago." "Long story." "[F.iona ] Have fun." "There's a reason I neverhad the patience to be a spy." "All right." "[ Michael Narrating] The trulyparanoid don't go to meetings themselves." "They use a cutout-- someone unrelated to them... hired to show a prearranged sign and deliver a message." "The sign is something innocuous but hard to miss."

"I never messed with her." "We went on a couple dates." "All she everwanted to do was take pictures in some building." "Hundred bucks a shot." "She took the pictures?" "Yeah, and her husband paid." "Some guy-- flattop." "It was weird." "I didn't ask questions." "[ Sighs ]" "[ Sam ] Melissa lied to us." " I knew it." " You did not." " I suspected." " Suspected doesn't count." "We gotta talk to Mike." "Ifshe was setting me up, whywould she be in the photos?" "Why not just steal the files?" "[ Chuckling ] Well, she's the only one who could get the packages out." "If Melissa wasn't being "blackmailed," you'd know that she was in on it." "Oh, my God." "I-I can't believe I fell for this." "Don't be so hard onyourself." "Double blackmail's a classic." "It's as old as the pyramids, you know." "You pose as a fellow target ofyour own blackmail scheme." "That way, you'll always know what the victims are up to." " Pros use it all the time." " So what do we do?" "We gotta get near Kent." "Ifwe can get some evidence linking him to the heroin... we can do our own blackmail, get you off the hook." "You know, start fighting fire with fire." "But Melissa knows I hired you." "We'll have to make her think that the investigation's stalled." "Plus, we're gonna get some more help-- a little relieffrom the bullpen." "Well, dowhateveryou need to do." "I'll pay more." "I'll dip into my savings." "Don'tworry about the money, Gillian." "We gotcha covered." " Hey, Mike." "She running' again?" " More or less." "How's your dance with Cowan goin'?" "[ Sighs ] I don't know." "It's hard to trust someone under these circumstances." "But I don't have a choice, do I?" "That part ofthe job, I don't miss it."

"Cowan gets the gold star for clever, doesn't he?" " Or he just likes watching me run around in this heat." " Want me to come with you?" "Thanks, but I think he wants a little alone time with me." "Ah." "Yeah, hey." "Uh, listen, Mike." "Um, this new client ofmine, Gillian-- she's in kind ofa tough spot." "I wasjustgiving her a ride home, and, well, uh... there she is, i-in my car right there." " Shameless, Sam." "Even foryou." " Look, Mike, I know you're busy." "But I need a fresh face on this." "It's a tiny little bit part." "You'd be posing as a Green Beret." "Like falling off a log." "What's the job?" "Well, it turns out that Melissa's husband, Kent... is running all of the smuggling down at S.X.G." "It's a double blackmail thing." "[ Chuckling ] I gotta tell ya, I saw it comin'." " Really?" " Yeah." "What I need you to do is make friends with Kent." "Okay?" "Just encourage him to expand his business, open his horizons a little bit." "So we threaten to tell his bosses and get him killed unless he lays off." " Exactly." "See?" "You're way ahead of me." " You call that a bit part?" "Well, look, Mike." "Come on." "I'd do it foryou." "[ Sighs ] Fine." " Sweet." "It's black." "It's a Charger." " [ Gunshots In Distance ]" "I haven't seen it before."
