" Eric." " Hi, Joan." "You're up for the DCS job, too." "Can I just say that it's such an honor to be working for the first woman to be DCS?" "My name is Calder Michaels, and I'm the station chief here in Medellin." "Arthur, I know Teo is your son." "He's an undercover operative inside ALC." "Teo Braga is a known terrorist." "[Gunshot] Shots!" "Shots!" "I could have killed the entire delegation." "And now the CIA is specifically hunting you, from the local station chief to the ex-DCS, a man named Henry Wilcox." "I'm not looking for a partner, darling." "I think I've earned it." "You've got to give me something, so I know we have a pact." "Wendy and Xu Chen, two Chinese nationals living in D.C. who move billions of dollars for organizations like ALC." " Too high." " Hey, I'm not aiming." " You should be." " Because you think" "I'm vulnerable after what happened in Colombia?" "I take it we're alone." "Completely." "Henry asked you to take Teo off the board to prove that you're in." "What are you going to tell him when he finds out you decided to let him go instead?" "I can take care of Henry." "You start thinking that way and you've lost already." "You need a story." "Henry is too smart to think I'm really working for him." "You still need a story." "Okay, how's this?" "I couldn't find Teo Braga." "Cute, but lies will trip you up." "The truth is easier to remember." "Okay, I caught Teo." "I took him to a CIA black site." "There was a breach in security, and he escaped." "All of which is documented in Calder Michaels's report, which you're gonna need for backup, 'cause I guarantee you, Henry has moles inside this building." "That's our only play." "You think I made us all vulnerable by letting Teo go?" "You did what you did, and now we need to contain it." "Teo gave us a chance to find out who funded the Solstar bombing when he gave us Wendy and Xu Chen." "We have to act on that." "[Sighs]" "Wendy and Xu Chen, two Chinese nationals living and working here in D.C." "He's a V.P. at the World Bank." "She is an attache at the Chinese embassy with access to courier pouches and diplomatic immunity." "[Tense music]" "♪" "[No audio]" "♪" "Their contacts called a meeting." "The best way to find out who the Chens are laundering money for is for me to get a lot closer to them." "I just have one question-- what made Teo tell you about the Chens?" "I asked him for a piece of intel, to prove himself." "Why is it still so hard for you to trust him?" "Until last week, he was still presenting as a guerilla terrorist." "He's Arthur's son, and he saved my life." "And you saved his." "Now you're even." "[Knock at door] Joan wants to see everybody." "Good morning." "Thank you for all your support during this time of transition." "As the new director of clandestine services, it falls upon me to name a temporary replacement to my former position." "This person's exemplary service to this department has made my choice a very easy one." "Everyone, please congratulate the new interim head of the DPD," "Auggie Anderson." "[Applause]" "♪ Covert Affairs 04x04 ♪ Rock a My Soul Original Air Date on August 7, 2013" "== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man" "Auggie, it's all yours." "Thanks, Joan." "All right, everyone, screens area in five." "Congrats, man." "I mean, sir." "Well, sir..." "I'll have to congratulate you properly in private." "Kissing up to the boss already, huh?" "[Chuckles]" "So, you already knew about this." "When did Joan tell you?" "She told me last night, but until she got confirmation this morning, she swore me to secrecy." " Even from me?" " It wasn't my secret to tell." "Still, it's a big thing." "It would have been nice to hear it from you, that's all." "Being together can't change how we work." "I just don't want our jobs to change us." "That's what matters to me." "I am so glad you said that, because I was gonna have to quit." "I don't want you to quit." "Good, 'cause I just got a promotion." "The Chens live at the Capitol Towers, Suite 508." "Operative Walker will be leasing 506 and have a full array of audio devices at her disposal that you all will provide her as fast as humanly possible." "Now, unfortunately, we don't have the lead time for a proper video installation, but we don't always need to see things to make good intelligence analysis, now do we?" "Now, Walker is gonna be reporting directly to me as her handler until other arrangements need to be made." "Questions?" "Hope you're not raising your hands." "So, how are you settling in?" "Yeah, I could use a little more closet space." "Mine is full of toys." "Yeah, expensive ones." "That tablet is your master control." "The Chen's apartment is laid out basically just like yours." "The wireless low frequency sensors we placed should pick up most of the vocals from next door, and we were able to put a camera above the Chens' parking space, so at least you'll be able to tell" "when they're pulling in and out." "How is the rest of the place?" "Oh, you know." "Typical agency rental." "Yeah." "I picked it, so I kind of know how awesome it is." "Check the music dock." " You made me a playlist?" " [Chuckles]" "Hey, by the way, there is no landline into the Chens' apartment, and no record of any cell phone in either of their names, so they're probably using burners and alias accounts for their extracurricular activities." " Travel records?" " Xu is a homebody." "Hardly ever leaves D.C." "Wendy has got a diplomatic passport." "Flagging hers hasn't been as easy." "I bet there's a Colombian stamp on that passport." "Has Teo ever met her in person?" "He didn't say." "Well, if he knows the Chens' names, he probably knows more." "[Tablet beeping]" "They're home." "Time to check the mail." "Oh, 508?" "I'm 506." "I just moved in today." "Annie Walker." " Hello, I am Xu." " Xu, nice to meet you." "Is this your wife?" " Wendy." " Wendy and Xu." "I'll try to remember that." "I've been on the sublet list so long," "I can't believe I'm finally here." "I don't even mind the junk mail." "Where are you two from?" " Oh, we are Chinese." " Hmm." "I knew I'd meet interesting people in this building." "What do you do?" "[Speaks Chinese]" "Oh, she doesn't speak English." "Uh, tell her I'm happy to meet her." "I speak English well." "[Elevator dings]" "[Elevator dings]" "Why don't you guys come in for a glass of wine or something?" "You can tell me about who else lives on the floor." " It has been a long day, so." " Right." "And with emails, it never ends." "Nice to meet you." "Oh, I think I got something of yours." "Seems like a nice calendar." "Thank you." "Good night." "[Door closes]" "So, you have a 10am brief on the Middle East" "An 11:00 with General Shrake at the NSC." "Lunch with Shellow from the Pentagon" "And it looks like Eric Braithwaite is about to ambush me in the hall." "Hello, Eric." "Joan, do you have a minute?" "For you, I've got three." "I'll be right in." "What can I do for you, Eric?" "You made Auggie Anderson interim head of the DPD." "It's protocol to consult Deputy Directors on a high level personnel change." "Well, I have no problem making decisions all by myself." "So, we're in for another Campbell dictatorship, is that it?" "Eric, if you need a little time to process the fact that I got the DCS job and you didn't" "Not everyone in this building is on board with the palace coup that you and Arthur are trying to pull off." "My husband resigned." "He is no longer privy to anything that goes on inside this agency." "Then what is he doing in your office?" "Still the scorned wife in public." "Yet I'm the one wearing the scarlet letter." "You look good in this office." "I knew you would." "What are you doing here?" "Filling out exit paperwork." "Just want to save Olivia the trouble." "But I was hoping you would want to keep this here." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Joan, the baby has changed everything for me." "And not for me?" "I never would have done any of this if I had known." "I think you would have come up with something equally as selfish." "Teo is not dead, and you are sitting in my chair." "I think I did pretty well for all of us, under the circumstances." "I think you and I have different definitions of a win." "Henry wants to kill my son and destroy your career, and I can't do anything about any of it from my goddamn hotel suite." "Arthur, you know you can't come back here." "Braithwaite is already salivating at the notion of tripping me up." "Don't let Henry under your skin." "He is counting on us overreacting." "Oh, I'm not overreacting." "I know what Henry is capable of." "Well, then, keep yourself together so we can fight back." "Oh, I'm trying to keep us together, because what's the point of fighting back at all if I don't end up with my family in the end?" "Our goals are the same, Arthur." "I'm just not ready for this yet." "[Sighs]" "I should have just said," ""you look beautiful."" "Not exactly a welcome wagon." "She said I was annoying in Chinese." "Well, not everyone falls for your charm as easily as I did." "And she threw the calendar away." "So much for getting that bug inside her apartment." "Hey, what have you picked up on your sensors?" "Not much." "She watches Bravo, and he works a lot." "Other than that, they don't talk." "Think that's what we'll be like in 12 years?" "Well, if they are so happy they no longer need words, then yes." "And by the way, you were right." "Wendy Chen was in Colombia 12 days ago." "Third trip in two months." "Stayed in the same hotel we did." "Right near the Banco Medellin, where the ALC keeps their accounts." "Mmhmm." "It gets better." "She met with the same guy each time" "Oswaldo, our dead friend from the Orquideorama." "The ALC banker." "Now are you convinced that Teo's intel is solid?" "I'm convinced the Chens are a solid mark, so keep listening." "[Tablet beeping] Hang on." "Yes, of course." "20 minutes." "[Speaking Chinese]" "A call just came in to Xu's cell." "They're on their way to a meet." "I'm right behind them." "Okay, good luck." "I thought you said I was the type who didn't need luck." "You remember that?" "The first day we met?" "How could I forget?" "[Chuckles]" "[Tense music]" "♪" "[Static]" "The money was delivered as usual." "We have no control over the actions of a terrorist you hire." "Your judgment is severely lacking if that's the way you talk about the business we conduct." "We have a business to protect, too." "Our arrangement is very clear." "You move money for me, you get rich, and you stay safe." "[Twig snaps]" "I swear to you, your money was delivered." "No one knows who stopped the bombing." "And Puma is still alive?" "You have confirmation?" "We heard he escaped a raid, but Eduardo was taken." "Who else knows?" "Nothing can be traced back." "The banker is already dead." "We've become too exposed." "Too many people know too many things." "I'm afraid our arrangement is over." "We tell no one, and now you threaten us?" "I was about to offer you a severance package." "The freedom to start your lives over in the Caymans with all the money I paid you so far." "In exchange, all I ask is your loyal silence and any proof you may have of our business dealings." "A simple trade." "Sound fair?" " Yes." " Good." "Now, you go about your lives and I'll be in touch with the details." "Good night." "The Chens are Henry's conduit to the ALC." "They discussed the failed bombing, and Henry admitted to paying for it." "But all we've got is a conversation in the woods that wasn't recorded." "We can't pick up the Chens now, any more than we can pick Henry up." "We can't even put pressure on them, because she's a Chinese diplomat." "He wants them to disappear." "If they're lucky, he'll actually let them escape to the Caymans." "If they're not, we won't have this chance again." "You want to try and turn her?" "Wendy is smart enough to be afraid of Henry, and fear is a wedge." "And if you can't convince her, and she goes back to Henry and tells him about her new blonde neighbor from the CIA?" "We can't keep playing defense anymore." "We have an opportunity." "Either we take it or we lose it." "[Sighs]" " It's your call, Auggie." " All right." "We use our assets to watch them at work in case Henry approaches them there." "You continue your surveillance at the apartment, but nothing more." "Henry is gonna have them, and whatever proof they have against him, if we don't act now." "Keep following them, just don't approach." "If we move too soon, we'll scare him off." "Okay." "[Door closes] Auggie..." "You can't change the rules for her now just because of the way you feel." "My feelings haven't changed, just my job." "[Door closes]" "High noon." "Worst sun of the day." "I hear it's particularly brutal near the equator." "How was your trip?" "My trip was successful." "Really?" "Because I thought we agreed you'd take care of Teo Braga, and you didn't." "I caught Teo Braga." "I had him at a CIA black site." "Go on." " There was a security breach." " And he escaped?" "No." "I let him go." "A curious way to take care of him." "You wanted me to stop a terrorist attack, and I did." "Because I let him go, he led me right to it." "If I had killed him, I would have failed." "You restore my faith in gray every time we meet." "Why did you say this wouldn't end well for Auggie?" "[Laughs] There it is." "That's the reason you let me court you in the first place." "You're afraid that if I'm right about Arthur being corrupt, you might not know the man you sleep next too as well as you thought." "There's a six month gap in Auggie Anderson's CIA service record, right around the time he opened that account for Arthur in Colombia." "[Sighs]" "Just keep yourself covered." "The sun can be very dangerous if you're not protected." "That wasn't the story we agreed on." "If Henry is gonna play games, I'm gonna play back." "But you're used to rules." "His game doesn't have any." "He'll use anything against you." "Or you." "Where were you for six months in 2006?" "What?" "Henry said there's a gap in your transcript?" "Is this why you brought me here?" "To play into the wedge that Henry has been trying to create between us since he gave you that file?" "We can't talk about this inside the building because Henry still has people there." "If it's not true, why didn't you just deny it?" "You've been on edge ever since I went back to find Teo." "I know there is something you're not telling me." "Henry is getting into your head." "Well, I need to know, what is the six month gap, and what does it have to do with Teo?" " Annie." " I'm trying to protect you, but you're not helping me do it." "I've got it under control." "You said, the minute we start thinking that, he's beaten us." "Oh, come on." "Henry is not the one lying to me right now." "We might keep secrets for a living, but we can't keep them from each other." "I was just named head of one of the most secretive departments in the world." "And you didn't even tell me about it." "I don't want to do this if we are gonna turn out like Joan and Arthur." "I want our lives outside the building to be more important than our lives inside it." "You've got to make a choice, Auggie." "I am willing to go there." "Are you?" "[Tablet beeping]" "I'm home." "I have all the documents he asked for, but what if he's lying about making a deal?" "What if we are the people who know too many things?" "[Speaking Chinese]" "[Knock at door]" "Wendy, it's Annie from next door." "I saw you come home." "I have an emergency." "[Knocking at door]" "One second!" "I'm sorry, I can't." "I know you're scared." "I'm here to help you." "Who are you?" "A friend." "I followed you last night." "I don't know what you're talking about." "[Elevator dings]" "I know that you and Xu are moving money for Henry, and that he funded the ALC bombing." "I can offer you both safety if you give me proof." "Is that what's in your bag?" "Please, you don't understand." "I do understand." "He will kill you if you don't have protection." "He will kill my husband if I don't get him what he wants." "[Elevator dings]" "I know you love Xu." "I can help you both if you come with me." "If I don't bring this, Xu will die." "Yeah, how about you give that bag to me?" "Please, leave me alone!" "She's trying to steal my bag." " Wendy, don't" " Step back inside, please." "We work together, and she has something of mine." "I'm gonna need to see some I.D." "I'm in 506, you can check the rental agreement." "Please don't touch anything." "Hey, Barber." "How damaged is this SIM card?" "You're asking for my help?" "Well, Auggie is not here, and I need it done now." "Never thought I'd be in the commander's chair." "You're sure this is okay, right?" "Positive." "I just need to get into her contact list." "There." "Xu Chen." "I need to track his cell's GPS." "Can you do that?" "Of course I can." "It's kind of like a first date, huh?" " What?" " Well, you're gonna need a new handler if Auggie gets the permanent gig." "Am I the only one here still trying to do my job instead of lobbying for a better one?" "[Computer beeps] No hits." "Must have gone dark." "I'll keep digging." "Where's Anderson?" " We don't know." " I don't know." "Then why did I find out about a surveillance mission against two Chinese nationals after the fact?" "You're gonna have to ask Auggie." "He's head of the DPD now." "Interim head." "The doorman at the Capitol Towers filed a police report against you." "Claims that you're harassing a Chinese attache named Wendy Chen." "Care to explain?" "I plan on filing my report as soon as the mission is over, as usual." "Well, in the absence of your new boss and Mrs. Campbell," "I am the senior officer in this scenario." "I'll also be reporting that Mr. Anderson has no control over his department, no knowledge, and no diplomacy regarding our relations with China and its embassy." "Mr. Anderson is right here, and I don't appreciate you bringing the hammer down on me or my people to compensate for the fact that Joan Campbell beat you out for the DCS job." "So, if you're done with your political maneuvering for the evening, we need to get back to work." "Enjoy flexing your muscle while you can." " Where were you?" " At a department head meeting, but I should be asking you that question." "What the hell happened, Annie?" "Um, if you don't need me anymore, I'm-- [sighs]" "I approached Wendy." "She got spooked and ran." " After I told you not to." " It was my only chance." "They're gonna bargain with Henry as soon as he contacts them." " Henry doesn't bargain." " I know." "That's why we need their proof to take Henry down." "You can't do this stuff, Annie." " What?" " You can't do things like engage Wendy Chen on your own without telling me." "You don't seem to have a problem keeping things from me." " That's a separate issue." " Maybe it's easier for you to turn things on and off when we leave here, but I can't keep things separate." "Well, you're gonna have to get used to it." "I'm your boss now." "[Sighs]" "Loud and clear, boss." "202555-0108." "Send text." "Where is Annie?" "Not your concern." "You texted me on her burner phone." "She said no one could trace it." "How did you get the number?" "Who do you think gave that to her in the first place?" "Of course." "What does she know?" "She knows enough to keep asking more questions." "Contact was not my idea." "You need something, use me." "I'm sorry, but you can't exactly help me in the field anymore, you know?" "What are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "You called this meeting." "No, I mean in D.C." "You wouldn't be here without a reason." "I don't answer to you, man." "You don't answer to anyone." "That's the problem." "That's exactly what keeps me alive, you know?" "Did Annie tell you about the Chens?" "We're looking into them." "Let me know what you find." "Why, so you can screw up another mission?" "I don't think so." "We want the same thing, man." "You just don't realize it." "You're blind to it..." "So to speak." "You don't call the shots." "Is that understood?" "Whatever." "So if you think you're gonna come in here and be a part of this, go home." "Home." "What home?" "I am a fugitive in Colombia now, thanks to that ALC raid you staged." "Arthur offered you asylum." "My father offered me a safe house in Panama, not a place at his table." "You should talk to him." "He's concerned about you, as his son." "He didn't raise a son." "He raised a spy." "What's it like, to not have feelings?" "I hope you never know." "[Speaking spanish]" "And I'm sorry about your eyes, man." " I found them." " What?" "I got a facial recognition hit on the Chens at Union Station." " I'm going." " Well, what do I tell Auggie?" "Tell the boss I'm doing my job." "Excuse me." "Uh, that couple that just bought tickets, they--they dropped these glasses." "Can you tell me what train they were headed to?" "I'm sorry, I can't, uh" "Um, they--they look really expensive." "9:15 to Miami." "Track eight." "Thank you." "Barber, I'm gonna need a pickup with heat." "Armed vehicle coming right up." "Where?" "Northeast side." "I'll be on foot." "[Indistinct public announcer]" "[Tense music]" "♪" "Don't run." "Henry is already here." "Did you tell your husband what I offered?" "No one can protect us from him." "You have three minutes to let me try." "Henry doesn't bargain." "What we have is valuable to him." "If what you have implicates him in the Solstar bombing, you are safer with me, but you have to decide now." "Your lives will never be the same, whichever way you choose, but at least if you let me help, you can still be together." "What do we do?" "Do you have it on you, the proof against Henry?" "We mailed it ahead to Miami, in case he was lying about letting us go." "He was." "I can get you to a safe house, and we'll have someone else pick it up, but right now, we have to get off the platform." "Oh, this way." "[Train bell ringing]" "[Air horn blasts] Go!" "[Air horn blasts]" "The Chens are under our protection." "We've sent someone to intercept their package in Miami." "Wendy's spreadsheets are her insurance policy." "They can tie Henry directly to the bombing, and I can go over them with her in the morning." "We've got him, Joan." "Well, you know, I think I'm going to worry about Henry Wilcox until he is in the ground, but thank you." "Annie, there's a reason why I wanted to see you privately." "Auggie authorized the safe house and future Witness Protection for the Chens." "He knows you did the right thing." "It just may not be so easy for him to tell you that now." "Auggie being your boss is going to present you with a whole new set of challenges." "I know we don't really have this kind of relationship, but I'd" "I just really wanted you to know that I've been there." "That means a lot." "Thank you." "Was it worth it?" "Everything you and Arthur went through to be together?" "I mean, would you do it again?" "[Sighs] Love is a powerful thing." "Is there room for secrets?" "Only if there is room for forgiveness, I suppose." "I know what you did for the Chens." "I believe in you, Annie." "I hope you know that." "I didn't want things to change." "I wanted us to stay the same, but I don't think that can happen." "No, you were right." "Nothing matters more than us." "I have some things I have to tell you." "No more secrets?" "No more secrets." "I knew Teo much better than I let on." "In 2006, Arthur handpicked me to train him, at a private site in the Czech Republic we called River Run." "That's the six month gap in your record." "Yeah, it won't be in any of the CIA databases." "It was completely off book." "Because Teo's mission wasn't for the CIA." "It was personal, to kill the man who killed his mother." "That's not the only secret, is it?" "Tell me, Auggie." "What did Teo do to you?" "It wasn't me he did it to." "[Sighs]" "Who else was there?" "I wasn't his only trainer." "I had a partner." "Her name was Helen Hansen." "You were both in place there together?" "As students." "As married students." "A cover marriage." "In the beginning, yeah." "We were just two operatives, getting married for the mission, but...then the lines blurred." " You fell in love." " It took us by surprise." "Two agents in the field together." "No secrets." "Just like you want us to be." "You already had that... with someone else." " Yeah." " Then what happened?" "Then Teo Braga happened." "He supplied us with intel-- bad intel-- that got Helen killed right before my eyes." "So, now you see why I cannot completely put my faith in Teo Braga." " Or me?" " No." "No, I am doing that with you right now." "God, I wish I knew what your face looked like right now." "You will never lose me by telling me the truth." "[Exhales sharply]" "Then let's keep talking..." "Because I never want to lose you." "[Softly] I think that's a good idea." "Mm." "[Sighs]" "Capital Grand." "The gentleman's doghouse." "At least they make a nice omelet." "How is Joan?" "Succeeding." "Brava, giovanna." "Fresh squeezed?" "Oh, I'm not breaking bread with you, Henry." "Now, you see?" "That's exactly what this is all about." "If you had shown me any respect at any point in our relationship, perhaps I would have considered forgiveness." "You belong in prison." "My only child is dead, and I didn't get so much as a sympathy card from you." "I guarantee you, there is no greater pain on earth than the loss of a child." "I can't imagine." "You can't?" "Imagine my surprise when I discovered that you, too, had a son." "I take it that Joanie was even more surprised than I was." "Oh, leave my family out of this." "At least you still have one to worry about." "Don't blame me for your mistakes, Henry." "I blame you for Jai's death, and you're going to pay, a son for a son." "You've already destroyed my career and my marriage." "Isn't that enough?" "That was just the overture." "The opera is now about to begin." "Oh, I almost forgot." "I hear there's a new child on the way." "I hope it's a boy." "You son of a bitch." "Goodbye, Arthur." "Have a nice day." "Gonna be a tough one at Langley." "[Knock at door]" "[Knock at door]" "[Somber music]" "♪" "Umbra 10-79." "The safe house is being cleaned." "A mail carrier at the Miami-Dade airport was attacked, the contents of his truck, stolen." "The Chens' package wasn't recovered." "Joan has been briefed on everything." "She is working from home." "[Knock at door]" "What did Henry do?" "I think you should come back home now, Arthur." "You were right." "The minute we thought we had it under control" "We did have it under control." "I still can't understand how that safe house was compromised." "But it was." "I'm drilling down on Wendy Chen's contact list." "At least we have that." "They were in each other's arms." " I know." " I don't want you to be afraid of losing me." "There is no way we can stop Henry if you are." "I am not out on a limb for anyone but you." "[Knock at door]" "Auggie, Annie, you remember Eric Braithwaite." " What can I do for you?" " I am very sorry to inform you that you have been relieved of your duties as interim head of the DPD." "Why?" "Anderson, you went against my advice, and you continued with an operation that led to the violent deaths of two Chinese citizens under your protection on American soil." "I think you've spent one day longer in this job than you ever should have." "Your replacement is on his way up here." "Someone who has proven himself to have the integrity it's gonna take to make some overdue changes around here." "I'm sure you'll agree, Joan." "You've made your point, Eric." "You can leave now." "[Door closes] Henry did this." "It doesn't matter." "Auggie's already taken the hit." "From now on, we trust no one but ourselves." "No one." "Who's my replacement?" "Auggie..." "It's Calder."
