Episode 105
In the Light

Good morning.

- Your coffee is at your 10:00.
- You shouldn't have.

I graduated from lunch duty
to coffee runs.

- It's cold.
- Well, I had to deliver ten cups.

Couldn't you deliver mine first?
I thought we were friends.

Is why I can give you cold coffee,
not worry about getting fired.

I have a present for you.
Just came in.

Video, text, camera, data storage,
all freshly CIA encrypted.

Your old one.

No complaints from me.

This thing is pretty sweet.

Careful.

- What is it?
- I got a fast track here.

Armed shipment bound for the US.

Three surface-to-air missiles.

Johannesburg station believes
they went out of Richards Bay,

hidden on board a container ship,

so they're gonna be here
in the next 24 to 48 hours.

- What ship?
- We don't have it.

Destination city?

- We don't have that.
- What do we have?

The shipper was Hasaan Waleed.

The bribes I had to make
were more expensive than estimated.

We agreed on $100,000.
Not $150,000.

I need $50,000 more.

How about you?

Is $100,000 enough?

Good.

I expect to be
in the United States tomorrow.

We have SAMs coming into the US.
We don't know the city.

The shipper is Hasaan Waleed,
but we don't know where he is.

- Any more from Jo'burg?
- No.

Security cameras at Richards Bay
were conveniently shut down for 4 hours.

Every boat in the port's log
is accounted for.

- So clearly this is off the book.
- And HUMINT?

Southern Africa station
is pretty thin these days.

This is a world-renowned arms dealer

and we can't get any bodies on him?

We could end-around
with the AIVD in Amsterdam.

We might have an in.

All right.

I could use support.

Kelting, you're with Jai.

- Anyone stateside?
- Rumors of some contacts

with the Sudanese expat community
in New York but that was five years ago.

- And who's early in camp?
- Kimmer, but he's new.

- Angle transferred back from Khartoum.
- Who else?

McAuley.

Who else?

Nobody else
ever had his connections.

All right.

Track down McAuley,
see if he'll play ball.

You're new.
Maybe you'll have a shot.

Why did Joan say
I might have a shot because I'm new?

McAuley is Christopher McAuley.

He was a deep-cover Officer
for 15 years.

Knew everyone important
had anything to do with East Africa.

One of his contacts might know something
about Hasaan's movements.

But McAuley retired five years ago.

Why do I feel
like I'm still missing something?

In fact, he had
a nervous breakdown, quit the CIA,

moved to middle-of-nowhere, Virginia,
and hasn't contacted us since.

I can actually hear you frowning.

On a scale of none to a lot,
how many have tried to bring him in?

- Almost every senior in that room.
- So this is a fool's errand?

You could think of it
more of a hazing ritual if you like.

Sorry. Busy day.

Thanks, fellas.

Keeping the old man waiting, huh?

Bit of a power play?

You're still in your raincoat, dad.

You walked
through the door yourself.

You caught me.

You actually have to put that on?

- Protocol.
- There should be special badges

for people
who ran the place for ten years.

They are dedicating the new ops center
to you in two days.

You expect new badges too?

What makes you think
I expect anything, son?

I'm just happy to be here.

Henry Wilcox, love the new beard.

Arthur, good to see you.

Been a long time
since you invited me over.

Not since your retirement party,
I would think.

Henry Wilcox is here
and he's talking to Arthur.

- Where?
- Your 8:00.

What the heck was that?

If anyone's going to be sucked in
by his evil vortex,

- I'd prefer it be you.
- Thanks.

I'm nothing, if not cautious.

Got to love they're gonna dedicate
our shiny new center

to someone with dirty hands.

Like you're channeling Liza Hearn.

Well, when you're the former DCS
and your most notable stat

is that you ran more dark ops
than anyone since the cold war,

there's gonna be some commentary.

You know the story
about Henry and Jai's mom, right?

No.

She was his asset
when he was stationed in India.

Her cover was blown.
Henry married her.

The Romeo and Juliet of the Agency.

That's romantic.

Until he left her for a younger woman
and it became a clich.

Don't you think
you're being a little harsh?

I'm being easy.

We are referring to the man

who is known by half the press
as "The Prince of Darkness."

I'm assuming by the sudden silence
and the stiletto in my shin...

Jai has joined us.

My favorite was always
"Satan's little helper."

Has such a nice ring to it, huh?

Well...

I'm off to do anything else.

What's your father doing here?

Going over details
of the dedication.

Aka, making Arthur's life

as much of a hell as possible.

Want a cup of coffee?

Regale you with stories
of "Henry the Terrible"?

I would need alcohol
to hear those stories.

Perfect.
Allen's tavern after work.

Are you asking me on a date?

Trust me.

If I was asking you out on a date,
you'd know it.

And our first date
will not be at Allen's tavern.

What makes you think
we're gonna have a date?

You're the one who brought up dating.
I just brought up drinks.

I have some work to do.

Don't you have some work to do?

Enjoy that ride out to McAuley's.

Holly, Holden, down.

- You want to get off my property?
- Mr. McAuley, my name is Annie Walker.

- I'm from...
- Langley.

We need your help.
Is there somewhere we could go and talk?

Get off.

Well, I have a flat tire.

Well, then I hope you have a spare.

Dutch intelligence came through.

The guard who works at Richards Bay
turned out

to be Hasaan's cousin-in-law.

Well, now we know why
they chose Jo'burg.

They turned him.

- He's family and we got to him?
- Money's thicker than blood.

According to our snitch,
Hasaan arrived with the weapons

before the shipyard opened.

When the Sudanese left,
they were short 4 men and 3 crates.

- Hasaan was one of the missing men.
- He's coming in with the weapons?

Unless we can figure out
which ship he's on,

we're gonna lose one of the world's
notorious arms dealers

inside the United States.

You're Ridgebacks.
You're not Dobermans.

Least I can turn two dogs.

Mr. McAuley!

Nice place.

I like the whole
recluse-in-the-woods motif.

And your dogs are sweet.

I can't help you.

Can't or won't?

Both.

How'd you know I was from Langley?

With that suit on,
you got to either be from the CIA

or trying to sell me insurance.

I'm guessing you're new.

They always send
the newbies out here to try.

You're a little older...

I'm assuming they brought you in
for your language skills,

instead of recruiting you
straight out of school.

We have a weapons shipment.

How nice for you.

This is important.

It's always important.

Who taught you that?

Whatever your personal feelings
about the CIA, this is bigger.

It's a greater good.

How many crimes have been perpetrated
in the name of the greater good?

Who gets to decide what's greater?
What's good?

You? Langley?

You feel that mud on your feet?
The only kind of mud I like feeling.

I'll take a pass on the other kind.

What is the other kind?

Ask Henry Wilcox.

Take the end...

wrap it around the main line
three times.

Where did you learn
about fly fishing?

Summers in Montana with my cousins.

I spent summers on a military base.

Military brat?

When I finished school,
I wanted to just pick a place

and go there 'cause I wanted to.

Not 'cause my father
got stationed there.

I wanted to make
my own choices for once.

Be the master of my own destiny.

That sounds pretty dumb.

No.

Why are you here?

Kind of for the same reasons.

Hello, my friend.

I did not expect
to see you again so soon.

Or ever...

I would imagine.

What are you doing in my house?

Your boss is a hard man to find.

Where is...

Hasaan Waleed?

Last chance.

Where is Hasaan Waleed?

Stop staring at him.

How do you know I'm staring?

Because you haven't responded
to any of my clever remarks

since he walked in ten minutes ago.

Now since when are you so interested
in Henry Wilcox?

Or is it Jai?

I'm shooting you
a dirty look right now.

You think it was wise to come back

at the personal request
of Arthur Campbell?

Why do you feel the need
to give me career advice after the fact?

It isn't advice.
It's criticism.

McAuley said,
"Talk to Henry Wilcox."

Yes, but he meant it
in a "go screw yourself" kind of way.

- I'm gonna do it.
- Of course you are

and I'm gonna sit here
all alone by myself.

There will be a girl here
before I cross the bar.

Hi.

Hi.

Thought I'd take you up
on your invitation from earlier.

This is my father Henry Wilcox.
Dad, Annie Walker.

It's a real pleasure.

Miss Walker.

- What's your pleasure?
- Scotch.

You disapprove of me.

- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.

It's okay.

Everyone disapproves of me,
present company included.

You all think everything is
black and white, good versus evil.

That's why you joined up, right?

Take down the bad guys.

- Better than letting the bad guys win.
- Precisely.

And sometimes,
to make that happen...

You got to get in the mud.

We're all in the mud, miss Walker...

Even if we don't want to admit it.

Sometimes we have to do things
we don't want people to see.

If you can't live with that...

Leave.

- You think that's why people leave?
- Some.

But not if they made it
past the first few years.

Why do they leave after that?

Money or love.

That's it?

There are a million different reasons,
but almost all of them,

when you really get past
the excuses and the anger...

People leave for money...

or love.

What are you doing here?

Putting career advancement
over my personal life.

Plus, she couldn't remember
the name of the last book she read

and even I have standards.

Want to talk about it?

You may not know this about me,
but I'm an excellent listener.

- Is that so?
- It's in my file.

How do you feel about what we do?

I know that manipulating people
for information....

is pretty much
my job description, but...

it always makes me feel...

Dirty?

Tell me it's worth it.

Tell me what "it" is
and I'll tell you if it's worth it.

I read McAuley's file
and based on what he said today,

- I might have something I can use.
- Worth it.

It'd be a huge get for you
to bring McAuley in.

We don't get to have
everything nice and shiny and clean,

but we are talking about keeping weapons
out of the hands of terrorists.

Henry Wilcox said we're in the mud,

all of us,

- whether we want to admit it or not.
- Does that bother you?

I'd like to know
how dirty I'm gonna get.

Tenacity might get you points at work,
but not with me.

I want to talk to you
about Vanessa Sinclair.

Everything about you
screams "Go away",

but I think it's all an act.

You have those big dogs to scare people,
but really they're just sweethearts.

You didn't train 'em to be vicious.

I bet this shotgun
isn't even loaded.

Okay, it is.

Vanessa Sinclair worked
for Henry Wilcox's Albion group.

Most of their work was compartmented,
so I'm guessing it was dark ops.

It doesn't say anything
in your files.

Just that you and she both met
in Khartoum when you were young.

But every vacation
you took for 20 years

was within 10 miles
of where she was operating.

And the Walworth County Fair
happens every summer in Wisconsin.

Vanessa was from lake Geneva,
which is about...

five miles from the fairground.

She buy you that hat?

I know what it's like
to hang on to a memory.

So that's how you knew how to tie
the Rapala knot yesterday.

Did you love him?

The person
who taught you how to do that?

Very much.

Vanessa died in the Sudan
five years ago.

You left the agency soon after that.

Did you love her?

Very much.

You feel like the agency
took her away.

But the agency didn't kill her.

The inquiry into her death
resulted in a name:

Hasaan Waleed.

I know.

- What does it matter?
- He's coming to the States.

If you help us,
if you talk to your old contacts,

we might be able to find him.

If you don't want to do it
for the greater good,

then do it for yourself.

For Vanessa.

You think
that's gonna bring me closure?

I don't know about that.

But I know staying up here
in the woods all alone

is not gonna solve anything.

You're good, Annie Walker.

You're good.

You're talented enough
to go very far in this business...

And foolish enough to want to.

She got him.

She's good.

She reminds me of someone.

Yeah? Yourself?

You.

Two requests from McAuley.

He says he needs to go to New York
to talk to his contact.

- Who is it?
- Still won't tell us.

Once a spy, always a spy.
Who you send with him?

He says he won't go without Walker.

I tried to convince him that Devon
would be better, but he's insistent.

So send her, but send Jai with her.

Second request, says he needs 250k.

He didn't talk to his asset in 3 years,
but with money, he can make it work.

Tell him to make $100,000 work.

We're in a recession.
And track the money.

You already thought of that.

How about dinner at 8:00?

Did you already think of that too?

Henry Wilcox is here.

- Where?
- At the front gate.

He said he needs to talk to you.

Bet a complain about where the podium
is gonna be for the dedication.

Play nice.

Dinner at 8:00.

If you're lucky.

Get him in here and find out
what he wants. I got a meeting.

- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.

Hello, Arthur.

Sorry you kept me waiting.

I always liked this view.

What are you doing here, Henry?

It has come to my attention...

that one of the cases
you're working on right now...

involves Hasaan Waleed.

Who told you that?

If you give Hasaan to the FBI
instead of turning him,

he'll disappear
into a long legal battle.

- Did Jai tell you?
- He won't tell me about his breakfast.

You're not paying attention, Arthur.

We can use Hasaan.

But not if he's behind bars.

What can I do, Henry?

Hasaan is coming here.
It's a federal takedown. It's the law.

And cut the crap.

You didn't drive all the way out here
and sit with my secretary.

You could lecture me
on the difference in our perspectives.

There are some stories
it will do no one any good,

to have out in the open.

That's a lot of money.

Exactly why we don't want it
to go any place we can't find it.

- Where's the tracker?
- Look at one of the bills.

There's a polycarbonate strip
on every Bill Uncle Sam issues.

To the world, the strips look just like
every other US Treasury note.

- But instead?
- These have an RFID strip in them.

It's a radio signal.

'Cause we have 1,000 of them all
close together, we get a strong signal,

but nothing to find
if anybody looks for a tracker.

Basically it's a virtually
undetectable bug.

When are you gonna start tracing it?

You're walking out of the DPD
with $100,000 in taxpayer money.

We're tracking it now.

I can't believe
you don't trust me, Auggie.

You see him?

If I haven't told you who it is yet,
why I'm gonna tell you now?

It was worth a shot.

Your father's an asshole.

I'm a big believer in justice.

In my opinion, Henry Wilcox and Hasaan
should both be in prison.

They can rot there together.

No argument?

Not from me.

- No, you stay here.
- What?

I'm not gonna risk you
and an agent scaring away my contact.

- That wasn't the plan.
- It is now.

Take it or leave it.

This is absurd.

I'm not even sure
who his contact is yet.

We're about to find out.

You were recording everything
and Christopher didn't notice?

Whoever his contact is,
is on this video.

Talk to me, Annie.

I'm sending you
an encrypted video right now.

I have three possibilities
for a Sudanese national.

You can scare me up some ID's?

Nicely done. We're on it.

You're welcome again
for the new phone.

You think your father
belongs in prison?

Not really. But I wasn't gonna pick
a fight with our operative just then.

Your father's quite a guy.

That's a tactful way to put it.

Is that why you spent 5 years overseas
and never did a rotation stateside?

Have you been reading my file?

Checking up on me?

A copy of it might have gone around
the female ops when you first showed up.

And what else did you find out?

Your mother is a neurosurgeon
from Mumbai

and you're
a junior national squash player.

You like lattes.

My coffee preference was in my file?

Baristas talk.

He still has the case.

Five years is too long.
I didn't get anything.

What'd he say?

That he didn't trust me.

I'm sorry.

Now excuse me.

Too much coffee.

Dead end here.
We have the case, we're heading back.

Didn't Christopher seem really calm?

Shouldn't he have been more upset
after all he said about...

justice and how he felt
about Vanessa?

He's gone.

- Theories?
- He stole the money himself.

- Just got paid and ran.
- Or he bought the information

and cut us out of the loop.

- Either way, he played us.
- You let him go in alone?

He's a trained operative, Joan.
He wouldn't go in any other way.

If his contact's the one
who has the money,

maybe he sold Christopher info
we could use.

- Maybe he'll sell it again.
- We're not gonna get another 100k.

Maybe we don't have to.

It stopped.

Got a visual.

- Recognize him from the market.
- His name is Sadiq Misa.

He owns the restaurant.

Our FBI detail, he thinks it's a front.
Money laundering.

GPS coming to your phone.

Northwest corner of the building
off the alley. Probably an office.

Target seems unaware.
Place is practically empty.

Okay, you're a go for recon
and recovery,

but please try to get in
and out without incident.

It's all clear.

I think there's an office back here.

What are you doing?

Creating a lockpicking.

Remind me to call you
next time I'm locked out.

Has some cracks in the brick here.

Sadiq's been multitasking.

What?

We'd like to know exactly
what you told the man in the market

and you can keep
this very handsome bag.

Just give us the information, Sadiq.
We'll walk right out of here.

Maybe make a quick call.
Tip off the DEA.

He's on the NSC Andromeda docks
at the Brooklyn shipyard in one hour.

I've got
an FBI task force standing by.

I need is your go ahead.

What?

We'll do this take down,
but without the Feds.

Get a special Ops team set up.

We can't do that.
It's outside of our jurisdiction.

The FBI are ready.
They're waiting for a location.

They don't get from us.

I cleared this with the DNI.

The only people who'll be
at this take down are our people.

What's going on?

Just set up the Ops team.

Understood.

Our orders
are to head back to Virginia.

What about McAuley?

If Christopher finds Hasaan,
he's gonna try and kill him.

- What are you doing?
- I'm going to the shipyard.

He's on in this mess because of me.

You're not responsible for him.

Go to Langley if you want.
I'm going to Brooklyn.

- Do we have eyes?
- Just ears.

Shipyard's CCTV is locked off.
Can't give us the coverage we need.

We've team moving in right now.

I got a report
of unidentified persons on the scene.

- Description sounds like Annie and Jai.
- What are they doing there?

Team leader says there's a third
and he's armed.

That must be McAuley.

I suggest you go away, Annie.

You played me.

Like you played me.

Wasn't this your idea?

Vengeance for Vanessa.

- My idea was for justice.
- Really?

Justice for whom?

This isn't your fight.

The FBI is coming.
They will take him down.

Hasaan will be behind bars forever.

That'll never happen, Annie.

Hasaan's not who you think he is.

He's an arms dealer.

Who got his start with CIA funding
and CIA weapons,

who killed one of our own
when she went to work for him.

She went to bring him weapons
and money.

He killed her.

And we...
we kept working with him

until he turned on us.

They don't want to arrest him.

They want to turn him back
and leave him out there.

What do we have?

Activity on the ship.

We've got a positive ID of Hasaan.

Tell them to move in quietly.
We need him alive.

Team lead, move in.
Keep it down.

Keep him alive.

Now move.

It won't bring her back.

Don't do this.

Thank you.

Shot fired.

Hasaan's down.

Who fired?
The order was to take him alive.

Who fired?

Why don't I have an answer yet?
Who fired that shot?

Team lead, I need an answer now.

US made.

The same weapons we sold to him.

How are you feeling
about standing in the mud now?

We owe an incalculable debt
to those that have gone before us

and we're proud to stand on
their shoulders and usher in a new era.

One that is marked
with a new sense of transparency,

openness, honesty,

and the successful gathering
of intelligence

to help protect this great nation.

I'm pleased to dedicate
this new ops center

to my friend
and predecessor Henry Wilcox.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.

She sighs.

What's wrong?

Mission accomplished.

Greater good wins out again.

I'm proud to follow
in my father's footsteps.

Keep that family legacy of service here
at the CIA intact.

What a blowhard.

He's as bad as his father.

No, he isn't.

You're defending him?

I think he's trying to figure
this place out like the rest of us.

You knew the weapons were ours.

That's why you had me cut
the FBI out of the loop.

And don't tell me
it's need-to-know...

Because if you want
this relationship to continue,

trust me...

You need me to know.

Hasaan used to be an asset.

He was feeding us information
in exchange for money and supplies.

He and his bosses
built their entire operation

with CIA funding and support,
then he turned on us.

We sent an operative,

Vanessa Sinclair,
to deliver a shipment of arms.

He killed her, then used the weapons
that we'd given him

to build a terror cell.

And you knew this?

Not till Henry Wilcox sat in my office
and told me.

If Hasaan had been arrested
by the Feds

and all this came to light,
can't you just see the headlines?

"CIA arms terrorist cell."

But that was Henry, not you.

I never would have survive
if this had gotten out.

I was here
when Henry started the op.

So were you.

I understand.

This didn't end the way
I wanted it to.

I wanted Hasaan behind bars.

But Ben Mercer didn't.
