"Resync:" "Xenzai[NEF]" "What do you think?" "Tell you what." "If I'm going in, I go with him." "Okay." "Do it." "We're not really going in, are we?" "Not a chance in hell." "stop the car now." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "You should have gone before we left." "Get out." "Okay." "Ah..." "There goes our witness." "Kirby's dead." "Okay, listen to me." "I'm gonna say this once." "This is not your fight, it's mine." "Once this thing starts, there is no turning back." "What about you?" "I can fall back in the weeds." "I can fade away." "If you walk with me, it is guilt by association." "So I need to hear from you right here and now " "Are you in or are you out?" "Look, if Barker's clean, You got nothing to worry about." "But if he's not, you're either going down with him" "Or you're gonna end up dead." "Of course I'm in." "Okay." "Then there's some things Wwe got to get straight." "Yeah." "About red gauntlet." "About the assassination On the ambassador." "Red Gauntlet looked like it was just another job." "It was top-secret," "But it was ordered up By the bureau just like any other job." "It came through channels like any assignment I ever got," "So it had to have a cover, A registry, a chain of command." "But there had to be a file," "Like it came from someone inside the FBI " "Which it did." "Yeah, but who?" "who ordered it?" "Think about it." "The same people that just killed your witness, Kirby." "Now, there is no name for them," "But sometimes they're called "The Outfit."" "Others, around us, among us." "There's a network." "What are you saying?" "A circle of FBI agents for whom the job is not enough." "Okay." "What's our plan?" "Our plan?" "Yeah." "Our plan is I'm going after them." "And the first was Gordon Freed." "He was once one of us." "I know." "I seen his car or what's left of it." "He was the first name on This list from Ezekiel." "I'd also advise him to be careful." "Now there's only two left alive." "Familiar name." "Yeah, it's familiar." "We go for him first," "And hopefully he gives us the leader." "All it gives is a code -- "Viper."" "That's all Ezekiel knew." "But viper is the one I want." "Okay." "Well, let's go get him." "Let's do it." "Boss wants an update." "Now." "All right." "Yes..." "Uh-huh." "Go on." "Well, if you're calling me It's already reached critical mass." ""By any means necessary."" "I understand." "Got it." "You went out kind of hot." "You okay?" "For now." "Listen, I need everything you can dig up" "On a possible player, code-named viper." "Fbi?" "Not sure." "My guess is he's got a job in intel somewhere." "Viper?" "Is that all you got?" "He was point on Red Gauntlet." "Ran the show." "He was the leader." "I'll see what I can dig up." "Thanks." "Hey, uh..." "You watch yourself." "Always." "Okay." "My turn to come clean." "Eight months ago," "The bureau sent raymond beaumont to see me." "They wanted someone close to watch you." "They played me, too, you know." "Yeah." "So?" "Then they said that you might be bent." "Gone dark." "I never believed them." "If that were true, you would have come to me straight out." "Okay." "Fair enough." "But the way you play things," "Write your own rules " "I had some doubts." "Well, doubt is good." "It's part of what keeps me breathing." "So you taught me." "So why do you trust this guy?" "It's not about trust." "Going after your own is shit detail." "I believe him because he didn't Take any pleasure in it." "Here he is." "Just be nice." "So, what's your story?" "A while back, I came to Ellis " "I know all that." "How did you get the job?" "The job on me?" "Was assigned." "My supervisor in D.C. Gave me a case file on you." "The level of secrecy was high." "Go on." "He said they figured you For a member of the outfit." "Wanted you checked out." "So who was your supervisor?" "Assistant section chief agent Robicheaux." "Who else crossed paths with you on this case?" "Any people up the ladder?" "Special agent Jonah Michaels." "Ugh!" "You crazy..." "Michaels is part of the outfit." "I want to know who hired you, and I want their names." "So can you get to him?" "Yeah." "Tell you what." "When you find him, You set a meet," "And make it somewhere crowded." "Got it?" "They used me, you know." "The same way they used you." "Whatever you need, you let me know." "You bet." "So, since Michaels is expecting Ray," "He just might get jumpy." "Ellis:" "I'll keep the laser sight Right on his chest." "That ought to keep him In one place." "Here we go." "He's coming up behind you," "North side." "Gun holstered." "Do not take The green dot off of him." "Guess who." "Do not reach for that." "Point it at me, And I can guarantee you" "There's a bullet hole the size Of golf ball in your chest." "So, your agenda just changed, Did it not?" "You're crazy." "What do you want from me?" "It's about red gauntlet." "I want to know Who the leader was -- viper." "I didn't know Who viper was then," "And I don't know now." "All right." "Take the shot." "there's something else I can tell you." "Tell me." "Morton's 5-year-old daughter, Who was in the car " "She's dead." "No." "Okay, hold your fire." "I'm listening." "I have her." "Here in chicago." "I can show her to you." "I was there." "She died in that car." "She was thrown clear By the explosion." "We found her in the woods, And we took her in." "We're not cruel." "So, does that Get you up in the morning?" "Okay, I'll bite." "You kept her how?" "We gave her to a woman -- An agent who worked with us." "She raised her As her own." "You want to talk down Your backup now?" "No, sir." "You're not Gonna get comfortable." "You're not walking out of here Just yet." "I want the girl." "I want grace morton." "And we want every bit of hard Evidence you've got against us." "We get it, you take the girl And walk away." "If you don't like the deal, We'll kill her." "Get out of there, man." "Someone's got you locked in." "5:00 your time." "I tell you what." "It's a deal." "So meet at the zoo entrance At grant park." "He ain't giving up, man." "You got to skedaddle." "When?" "24 hours from now." "How you doing, man?" "Doing all right today?" "You made a deal?" "One that I have no intention of keeping," "Any more than they have of letting grace morton go." "So?" "We got to find her before the exchange goes down." "I know just the guy to find her." "Robicheaux." "Looks like you're still operational." "We are." "But there's evidence that clears Barker of the murder." "All right." "W-what does "all right" mean?" "It means we've moved on." "Do you have a reason To be here?" "Do you?" "I know my pay grade," "But it's time you packed up and headed back to D.C." "My orders are to take down the outfit." "That takes me right through Barker." "He's the centerpiece." "Wrong." "Barker isn't even A part of it." "You're the one Who's wrong." "The good work this bureau Does for this country," "Men and women Sacrifice their lives," "The outfit tears All that down." "It demeans all of us." "I am going to take them apart One by one," "Starting With your friend." "Barker just texted Ellis dove." "He wants him to come meet." "Dove is on his way." "Do we have eyes on Ellis?" "You know it." "Let's mobilize!" "We are out of here!" "You should take A few sick days, conrad." "I'll take them When I'm sick." "Go ahead, Become part of the problem." "See what happens." "It's Robicheaux." "We're sitting On Barker's partner." "He's waiting for a meet." "Any moment now I'll be looking at Barker." "Yes, well..." "Yes, y-you let me know When you see him." "Charles." "Sometimes I wonder What it'd be like" "If you weren't around To kick our world to pieces." "But, then, if you weren't, I wouldn't be alive to find out." "But we're not here To talk about that, are we?" "No." "Oh, you've got my men Jumping through hoops." "Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that." "And I'm sorry For the intrusion," "But I need your help, And I don't have much time." "I'm looking for An old operational File -- red gauntlet." "I've been collecting Evidence to find the Guys inside the bureau" "That put red gauntlet In motion in the first place." "And there was someone Code-named viper." ""viper"?" "Listen to me." "They know I'm coming." "That's why They tried to frame me " "So i'd be discredited" "Before I come forward With any information i'd found." "And what have you found?" "Okay." "So, you've heard about A group of agents" "Working outside the bureau, Right?" "That's just rumor." "No." "It's not just rumors." "What makes you think" "They'd risk leaving A paper trail or making a file?" "Because this Is the first page of that file." "Where did you " "What I'm looking for Is the original." "I know Your rank in class." "I know That you can get it." "Now, I have to believe That you want to help me." "Otherwise, There's not much to believe in" "If I don't believe that." "When you have it, If you could get it to conrad..." "Go get him." "Get out of the car!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "A white man drives a car Fresh off the lot in chicago," "And all of a sudden He's a crook?" "That's profiling, Is what that is!" "You want us to take him in?" "For what?" "Loitering?" "Let's go." "Let's go." "Go, go, go!" "You having fun yet?" "Gets better every day." "Hey, can I borrow this car For the rest of the night?" "Uh, no." "Look, I need you to find A girl for me." "you need me To find you a girl?" "Just write this down " "Her name's grace morton." "Age 20, maybe 21." "She lives here In chicago." "Is that it?" "Her father was the ambassador To macedonia a while back," "Edward morton." "I'm not even sure If that's her name anymore." "Way to keep it simple." "I wouldn't need you If it was simple." "Give me your phone." "What's wrong With your phone?" "I don't want anyone to get A location lock on my phone." "Great, so they Blow me up instead?" "Just give me your phone." "You sure about this?" "Yep." "This goes wrong, You're done at the bureau." "Is that what you want?" "Not really a concern of mine Right now." "You know the truth Doesn't matter." "What matters Is how they'll see it..." "How they'll Choose to see it." "How will you see it?" "What, you want me to say I've been wrong about Barker" "All this time?" "I don't care." "Actually, you know what?" "Yeah." "I'd like to hear you Say it." "Fine." "I've been wrong about Barker All this time," "But I was lied to." "Maybe that's my way Of getting even." "See you, raymond." "You watch your back, Ellis." "What are you, Trying to get yourself killed?" "Hey!" "What did I say?" "I told you -- You got to leave town." "You know, "Hello" works, too." "You got to leave town." "What?" "It's for the best." "Why?" "Answer me!" "This is my life We're talking about!" "because I'm asking you to." "You know, I've got class." "I've got a mock trial." "I can't just pick up and leave." "It's just for a few days." "I -- just trust me." "Trust you?" "All you've done is lie to me This whole time." "Hey, listen, just " "Just go to your parents', okay?" "Anywhere but here." "You know what?" "This is crazy." "I can't just pack up and leave Because you tell me to." "It's not a joke." "You know what?" "Screw you!" "Don't come near me." "Hey." "This is my friend." "Hey." "Hey." "I've heard a lot about you." "Shut up." "What?" "It's just a conversation starter." "Todd, do you have something or not?" "Maybe." "Just talk." "So I followed up on that bit that Ellis gave me" "About her father Being an ambassador." "Yeah." "What'd you find?" "Edward morton had a knack" "For being assigned To hot spots, danger zones." "I know this." "Colombia, lebanon, El salvador." "Now, there were a spate of Kidnappings during that time." "I remember." "So?" "So, children of the american Establishment like grace morton" "Were favorite targets." "That's why state started A program, a pilot program," "Installing little gps chip sets Just under the skin," "Say around the ankle," "So they could track them If they were taken." "I hope this is going Where I think it is." "Wait." "So the first ones were Primitive, but they worked." "Tell me hers is still working." "No." "It stopped working 12 years ago." "But the way these babies worked," "Just before the battery went out," "They would send out One last register," "With a time stamp and location." "That location was right here in Chicago." "In chicago?" "That's it." "You're an animal." "Now, remember, That's 12 years old," "So I have no idea" "If the young woman Who's living there now" "Is the same one " "Wait, she's -- She's living there now?" "I'm saying somebody is." "Name is, Uh, jane ross." "No reason to believe It's the same person." "But that's Her university i.d. Photo." "That's her." "Yeah?" "Yep, that's her." "Then let's go get her." "Grace." "Who are you?" "I'm Charles Barker." "I was a friend Of your father's." "My..." "What are you doing here?" "Your life is in danger," "And you've got to come with me Right now." "I don't think I want to do that." "I've got to talk fast." "There was a birthday party For you at the consulate." "It was your 5th birthday." "I don't remember." "I will remember for you." "The party was the day before Your father died." "Your dad set up a mini-carnival On the grounds." "You could have heard that From anyone." "But I didn't." "I was there." "There was a petting zoo with all These rabbits running around." "But you, you were playing With the runt " "The only black one." "And you wouldn't Put it down." "Now do you remember?" "I thought you died In that car with him." "I thought that For a lot of years." "But, please, you got to Come with me right now." "Ellis, door." "Get your things." "We got to go fast." "Go." "Okay..." "We can't be here For long." "I'm aware." "I have a couple of things To undo first." "I'll, uh, keep watch." "I'm sorry, but I do not Even know where to start." "I can imagine What you must be feeling." "Charles Barker." "Yes." "I've heard your name So often." "The man Who killed my father." "They said he trusted you," "And you used that To get my father in the car." "And who told you These stories?" "The people Who saved my life." "That is not Who they are, grace." "They are the very people That killed your father." "Now, I'm not denying My part." "They told me your father" "Was putting innocent people's Lives in jeordy." "And I believed them." "And by the time I figured out " "They said that it was you," "And that you would be back To hurt me." "To hurt you?" "Why should I believe you?" "Because your father Was my friend." "I don't believe you." "The truth is all I've got." "Pull the trigger." "So, uh..." "Let's start With what you remember." "Uh..." "I don't know what's a memory And what they told me." "I remember Coming back from greece..." "Walking through The airport." "I thought I kept seeing my father." "Who were you with?" "I-i didn't..." "I don't know." "I didn't know him." "I was afraid."

"She was good to me." "My dad..." "My mom when I was 2..." "Hannah." "People I love die." "That's just the way it is." "I will tell you something About your dad." "Every conversation I ever had with the man" "Started with a story About you." "He told me about When you were 2" "And moved in the house In menabe..." "That you tried to drink The pool through a straw." "Hey, we should move." "Yeah." "So they warned you I was coming, right?" "Yeah." "What did they want you to do If I ever showed up?" "Were you supposed to do Something or call someone?" "Uh, um, I was supposed to call A man named jonah Michaels." "What can I do?" "I guess it's time To make that call." "It's been a while." "What happened?" "They came to my home " "Two men." "There was gunfire Out front," "And this man dragged me Into his car." "What man?" "He said his name Was Barker." "And he started driving," "And then he pulled into This underground warehouse." "But he's dead now." "There's blood everywhere." "Where are you?" "An industrial plant On central and roosevelt." "I'll be there As fast as I can." "Good girl." "Good girl." "Okay." "Was Michaels One of the men?" "One of the men That killed your father?" "Yes, he was." "Where are they?" "Take out your gun And toss it towards me." "You let my whole life Be a lie." "I thought you Were smarter than this." "I'm smart enough To stop believing you." "Ugh!" "There's a very good chance You'll die tonight." "Go to hell." "Viper?" "Who is he?" "No one knew." "Tell me who viper is." "The good old days, Barker." "All we knew Was what we needed to know." "You are not Saying anything." "Never." "Did he give up viper?" "No." "He didn't know." "If he did, He took it to the grave." "So you killed him?" "He knew grace." "That made her vulnerable." "Now he doesn't know Grace anymore." "Now what?" "Take grace to that address." "She'll be safe." "And then?" "Then we find viper." "Every bodega security camera Within five blocks." "Get all of it and get it now." "What is going on?" "I said " " I said what the hell is going on here?" "Jonah Michaels was found dead In some metal factory." "Was Barker involved?" "I said, "was Barker involved?"" "I don't know." "But what do you think?" "I got your text." "What's up?" "Our friend." "Can you give this To him?" "If I accept that, I'm saying I can contact him." "You're not saying anything." "Not to me." "You sure about this?" "Just see that he gets it." "Soon." "Paulson asked me to give this to you." "What is it?" "The holy grail." "Viper's identity?" "Should have known." "It's the original file." "It's all here." "Michaels, Gordon Freed..." "Enough to put those guys away." "If they were still alive." "Well, how do you want me To handle this?"

"I knew my instincts Were good." "I was right about you From day one." "Sure would have been fun Trying to arrest you, though." "I wouldn't get cocky." "You still got a lot to learn." "Now, why you got to go And ruin the moment like that?" "You call this a moment?" "Yeah." "Hey." "So, what..." "Does it hurt?" "A little bit." "Robicheaux's Being brought up on charges" "For the ambassador's murder," "Along with charges For conspiracy, treason " "I could keep going If you want." "You've created quite a stir Inside the bureau." "Oh, I bet." "Paulson's launching A full investigation" "Into the outfit." "Now, that is a joke."
