[Angela] He's dead, Dad.

[Chase] Who's dead?

- [Angela] My father. - [Chase] Em, you can't stay here.

I have to stay.

Why would you have to?

Because the person who made their money dry up

is Morgan Bote.

[Harper] Who's she talking to?

Hamzad's lawyer.

[Zoe] She offered

to continue the conversation

over lunch next week.

[Chase] Listen, Em,

Morgan Bote is dead.

- [Bote] Get down. - [Chase] We were not able

to get him to concede on first contact.

About an hour later, he was assassinated.

You've got to get out of there, sweetheart.

[Angela over phone] They're breaching through the tunnels.

Don't think they're far off. Shit. Shit.

- No, wait! - [screaming, gunfire over phone]

[Julian] When I opened it, I thought

maybe he sent it by mistake.

The man was really old.

This is Suleyman Pavlovich.

And that is my ex-wife.

[Zoe] Hamzad's lawyer has gone from very late

to extremely late.

She's definitely not coming.

We're gonna need to go find her.

The guy I found in there,

he's got an antidote, but it's destroyed.

- She's been poisoned. - [Zoe] What?

Something airborne in the house.

I have to assume I'm hot.

My only chance is to let 'em take me.

- [creaking] - [wind whistling]

[Angela] I'm glad you're here.

I knew you'd come.

We're so close to the end.

We're so close to being even.

I'll see you soon.

[Pavlovich] Johnny Kohler.

Dan Chase.

Henry Dixon.

And on and on and on.

Some of you I have known.

None of you belong here.

And all of you must now end.

You know this.

So why did you come?

No place else to go.

Your poison. Your antidote.

[scoffs] What made you think, uh,

I'd want you to have an antidote?

Oh, you know me.

Enough to know I wouldn't come just to save myself.

I've got something to say.

All right, then.

Alexi.

[speaks Russian]

The nerve agent is slow-acting,

though I imagine it may already be altering

your brain function.

A few hours more, it will become disabling.

By sunrise tomorrow, it will be fatal.

But there is an antidote.

Here it is.

You may have it

if whatever you have to say means enough to me

to outweigh the danger you represent.

The rare earths cartel,

it seems, are concerned, uh,

I may have allowed an American spy into my business.

They told me...

...to be included in the cartel, I must eliminate the concern.

They said I must eliminate you.

Both of you.

Henry and Marcia Dixon.

[Angela] I never liked those names.

- In a few hours... - I don't think Mom did, either.

...I am to meet with the principals to explain myself.

[Angela] They always sounded like someone else's names.

I would like to be able to say

Dixons are no longer an issue.

So I have you

and a plan to secure her imminently.

[Chase] That's just the problem.

By the time you get her,

it's gonna be too late.

Who is she?

This woman who is not Belour, masquerading as your wife?

This woman, who was Morgan Bote's sole confidant

in the final weeks of his life,

who seems to be one of the only Americans in the world

to know about the cartel.

[Chase] Who she is doesn't matter.

What she can do is what matters right now.

She's in a position to ruin you.

Or...

maybe she's in a position to solve all your problems.

[Angela] He has every reason to mistrust you.

- And it doesn't matter. - Is that so?

[Angela] You have him.

[sighs]

[Angela] And he'll free your hands

and let down his guard and you'll kill him.

And you'll have lost everything.

And I'll know that you loved me.

Excuse me, I need to speak to whoever's in charge here.

Can I help you with something?

I need to be taken into custody.

- Have you done something? - I witnessed a murder.

The-the men who did it may not be far behind me.

I-I need your protection.

- Where did you come from? - N-Not far from here.

Just happened.

The victim's name is Nina Kruger.

All right, let me call the senior constable on duty.

- He can take a statement-- - I need to speak to someone

from the Central Intelligence Agency.

Ma'am, let me summon the senior constable--

Call the U.S. embassy,

ask for the chief of station, not the duty officer.

Tell them I won't speak to anybody else.

I don't imagine this is the purview of the CIA, ma'am.

Yes, it is.

Why do we imagine that might be?

Because the men who killed Kruger also killed Morgan Bote.

- I don't know who that is. - The chief of station will.

Tell him that I am an eyewitness to both murders.

And tell him to hurry.

My name is Marcia Dixon.

I was wondering how long it would take you to spot me.

Spotted you almost an hour ago.

Were you that clumsy on purpose, so that I'd see you?

Or did you just get old quicker than I did?

Uh, maybe a bit of both.

I need to talk to you.

[footsteps approaching]

Mrs. Dixon?

Hi, I'm Pete.

Nice to meet you.

Are you the chief of station at the U.S. embassy, Pete?

No, but I'm the guy you want, I promise.

What-what guy is that?

The guy who heard a woman whisper

from a hundred miles away,

"I know the name of Morgan Bote's killer"

and came running.

Coffee?

Before I say anything, I would like some assurances.

Assurances?

What kind of assurances would you like?

Immunity.

Immunity? For who?

For me.

For what?

For anything

that I may have done in learning what I now know.

Anything I may have done in becoming the person I now am.

Who were you before?

No one that matters to you.

I want everything that comes next

to be disconnected from what came before.

I have my own reasons.

Can you do that?

Did you know him?

Morgan Bote? [sighs]

Yes, I did.

So you can imagine how news of his murder

hit the community.

A lot of very dangerous people are awake all over the world,

listening close for a name.

You say it to me,

I recede back into the dark...

...and all those monsters come looking for their revenge

and they won't stop till they get it.

Do you understand what I'm saying, Marcia?

I think I do, Pete.

There are two kinds of people who witness a murder.

The innocent kind and the other kind.

All these monsters I'm talking about,

they may get curious about which kind you are.

Immunity from prosecution

is a matter of a few phone calls.

But from people like me?

There's no such thing.

I guess what I'm saying is,

whatever it is you think you're gonna gain from this,

whoever it is that you think you're doing this for,

you better be sure, because there's no going back.

Yeah.

That thought has occurred to me.

Make whatever calls you need to, please...

...and then I will tell you everything.

[Chase] She says your name, that's the end.

You'll sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life,

which won't be long.

Or?

Or...

...she says a different name,

one that solves all your problems.

What name?

Mine.

She'll tell a story...

...that an estranged former protégé of Bote's

came back from the dead

because someone took his daughter away.

Baba Ghor Ghori.

This monster of Bote's making...

...he came looking for revenge

against any man who had anything to do with it.

He got Bote.

Got Faraz Hamzad.

He came looking for you, and you got him.

Why would she do this?

Because in exchange I get the antidote,

a bag of cash, and she and I both go free.

[Pavlovich chuckles]

Is that all?

No, that is not all, is it?

The men who took her away, they told her a secret.

That she was not his daughter at all.

- What does this mean? - [Angela] What are you doing?

She was there...

...with Faraz Hamzad, when your men came in shooting.

What does this mean,

she was not your daughter at all?

Belour's daughter,

she was Faraz Hamzad's daughter?

[Chase grunts]

She was looking for answers...

...about where she came from.

Who she was.

Answers to questions I told her she was not allowed to ask.

She was finding them.

And you killed her.

What are you doing?

Why are you telling me this?

[exhales sharply]

I want the body.

I want to say goodbye to her,

to put her to rest someplace she belongs.

[Pavlovich] Why would you tell me this?

- What is that supposed to mean? - That I'm responsible

- for such a thing? - [Angela] "A place where I belong"?

[Pavlovich] And then ask me

to believe you harbor no anger against me.

[Angela] You had him! What the fuck is wrong with you?

No anger?

All there is in me is anger.

You want to play the game against me?

And all that prevents me from snapping your neck

is a lie good enough to get my hands free.

[laughs softly]

Any other day, you play that game with me,

you'd never see it coming.

But not today.

No.

No, not today.

Why?

[panting]

I made a promise.

To make it out of here alive.

I have to... I want to keep it.

[Angela] Cowards want, Dad. Men owe.

- Isn't that what you told me? - I kill you,

your men kill me,

I've broken the promise.

- A promise made to who? - [Angela] You made promises to me.

To my wife.

[chuckles] Your wife is dead.

[Angela] You made promises to Mom.

Marcia Dixon.

[exhales]

[Pavlovich] I thought she was someone who did not matter.

She matters to me.

You would call yourself the murderer of your mentor.

You would forgo vengeance

against a man you believe murdered your own child...

...for life with this woman?

I would.

[scoffs]

[Pavlovich] Nozh.

[zip tie breaks]

Get me a phone.

I'll tell her to do what I offered

so long as you do what I asked.

- [Pavlovich] The telephone. - [speaks Russian]

[Angela] You told me there was nothing

that you wouldn't give up for me.

I'm sorry.

You fucking coward.

- so I'm not gonna-- - I'm gonna marry your son.

I just...

I don't know, I just needed a minute.

I prepared a whole thing, though.

What if I'm not made for this?

You worried you don't love him enough?

Don't ask me that. That isn't fair.

I ju...

I'm not even sure I know what that word means.

Of course you don't.

It doesn't mean anything.

It is a fiction without substance

used to sell greeting cards and facilitate musical theater

and to mitigate the terror

of making yourself vulnerable before another human being.

Life is hard.

Comfort has value.

Trust has value.

If you are waiting for some kind of magical light

to turn on before you let yourself

commit to a partner...

...you could be waiting for a very...

A long time ago, Captain Pavlovich's entire unit

was massacred in a place called Meshbahar.

♪ ♪

When he came home,

he went to the families of the murdered men...

...and he told them that he would see to their needs

and to the futures of their now fatherless children.

I was just a boy when I was first told about an American

who had murdered my father.

Gutted him...

from his belly

all the way to his throat.

That isn't terribly flattering.

[scoffs] My issue isn't with your appearance.

- I meant him. - This isn't a fucking joke.

- This is serious. - Why are you here, Harold?

I know about the cartel, Marion.

I know about the Meshbahar deposit.

I know that you are involved with all of it somehow,

and I need some answers.

What kind of answers are you in need of?

I believe Suleyman Pavlovich just sent mercs into Afghanistan

and slaughtered a village full of women and children.

What is the nature of your relationship with him?

This cartel was conceived to terrorize the U.S. economy.

What's your relationship with it?

That's not why you're here.

For fuck's sake.

Please tell me why I'm here.

I'm very sorry about what happened to Morgan Bote.

I know he meant a great deal to you.

I think you're here because you believe

you owe it to him to be here.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

I'm trying to offer you my condolences.

What do you think I'm saying?

I know that Pavlovich had a hand in that hit.

What is the nature of your relationship to all this?

I didn't have anything to do with

killing Bote, and you know it.

How do I know that?

Because I am telling you.

That's why.

We had our differences.

I thought his worldview misguided,

his tactics shortsighted and his... his values twisted.

And for what it's worth,

I never thought he was particularly nice to you.

And if I had decided to eliminate him

for any of those reasons,

decency would demand that I tell you so, but I didn't.

And you don't owe him this.

Finishing his projects for him?

It won't bring him back.

And it won't change the way he felt about you either.

30 years ago, I'd have fallen for that

hook, line and sinker,

I'd let you charge up the hill

and take the high ground without firing a shot.

A few days ago, I would have played dumb for a while

and waited for you to make a mistake.

But honestly, I'm fucking tired,

my friends are in trouble, the world is hanging by a thread,

and I don't have time for this shit right now.

Are we gonna talk,

or do you want to keep fucking around?

He has control of the Meshbahar deposit.

I brought him into it. He seemed a fit as a partner,

for muscle and infrastructure.

But Faraz Hamzad would not entertain any of our offers.

Seemed preordained that the Meshbahar deposit

would be developed with American partners

for American interests.

And I didn't understand why until you called me

and said, "Help me rescue Angela Adams,"

and it all became painfully clear.

He needed the Americans to find his daughter.

Ah.

So...

you figured maybe Johnny and I...

weaken Hamzad, scare him,

then he reconsiders his position and decides to partner

with Beijing?

You say that like it would've been a bad plan.

But I didn't only want dinner with you.

What does that mean?

Pavlovich was a good partner, for muscle and infrastructure,

but to exploit the Meshbahar deposits

for years, decades,

and to keep it stable...

you need another kind of partner.

You need a person connected to the people there.

You need a Hamzad.

I was helping you rescue Parwana Hamzad

because I wanted you to introduce me

to Parwana Hamzad.

What?

A woman with American ties,

Panjshir tribal ties,

counterintelligence training
