All language subtitles for Agent X S01E09 Penultimatum

This is so great.

A perfect moment.

Just you and me.

But... Send me back up.

Hmm.

Where?

We still have attorney-client privilege.

Tehran.

Hmm.

Well, make sure to bring
something back for me.

Actually, I already
have something for you.

You wait for me.

It makes sense.

I heard you're looking for a new job.

Just make a clean break.

You kill for flag and country.

They live in the same way I was.

They use us until we start asking
questions, and then they kill us.

You betrayed your country, you
betrayed the program, and you betrayed me!

You left me no choice. You said so
yourself. There's always a choice!

And I'm in that place where I don't
even know what to believe anymore.

I don't know what I've been
doing, and then you show up.

I'm going to do this mission, and I'm out.

John?

I'm resigning from the program.

What?

Why?

I have doubts.

About what?

My mission.

Your mission is to serve this nation.

I'm aware of that, ma'am.

Well, you need to be aware
that this country is in crisis.

Every last one of us... All due
respect, Madam Vice President,

I did not come up here
for you to change my mind.

I came up to say goodbye.

I understand that you didn't choose
this job, that this job chose you.

But you're a patriot.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said...

A hero isn't braver than the ordinary man.

He's just braver five minutes longer.

This is your five minutes, John.

My grandma Rebecca used to say, sometimes
a man has to stop and fix what's broken.

You don't quit on America.

You don't quit being a patriot.

And you don't quit on me.

We've all made hard
sacrifices for this country, kid.

Have you even bothered to talk
to Malcolm about this decision?

Malcolm and I have said all
we're going to say to each other.

Madam Vice President,
it has been an honor.

Hey, Bo.

What are you doing, buddy?

John.

Hey, buddy.

You really think I'd leave
town without saying goodbye?

Where's Pamela?

I had plans for the Garion. Sorry to
have wrecked those for you. So's Pamela.

She'd be walking bogey
if I had the device.

You think I can get that for you?

It'll be in ops.

Malcolm will be trying to
clear any trace codes back

to you and the program
before handoff to DARPA.

You think he's just gonna give it to me?

Convince him.

Here.

You can watch her while I watch you.

You do your bit, I do mine.

If she gets a bruise, a scratch,
so much as a traumatic memory,

I'm gonna tear you apart.

Follow orders. You get
her back safe and sound.

What if those orders get me killed?

That's the point.

When you get the Garion,
you'll activate the GPS uplink.

You'll download the first waypoint.

If you reach it within the allotted
time, you'll get the next waypoint.

Hit all the waypoints on schedule,

and eventually you'll
rendezvous with an insertion team.

And execute a tactical strike.

What's the target?

Does it matter?

All you need to know
is you work for me now.

And you're gonna do exactly as I tell you.

Never figured you for a quitter.

Time to move on.

Is that a relic from our Osaka operation?

It's my first mission.

It's a good time.

Thought we agreed not to open that
until one of us was dead. I am dead.

John Case's, anyway.

Oh, what the hell, why not? I'm not
interrupting anything, am I? No, no,

I was just running some
scans, looking for trace codes.

Wouldn't want Dante Kane to
come looking for his little toy.

Actually, I wouldn't mind. I'd
love to punch that guy in the face.

Clean breaks. Clean breaks.

Listen, John, I, uh... I know
you think I'm a son of a bitch.

Listen, don't.

You did what you did. We don't need to
talk about it. I do have to say this.

My family is the reason that I
left the program in the first place.

I started thinking more about
them than the mission, so I left.

The president asked me to
come back, so I came back.

But what the hell? If you can't save the
people you love, what's the point, right?

Don't blame me for saving your
family, Malcolm. I never would.

I blame you for lying to
me about the program, Ray,

and everything that I believe in.

What the hell did you do to me?

You're right, Malcolm. I
have to save the ones we love.

What are you talking about?

Ray has Pamela.

Don't do this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. I'm gonna do whatever it takes.

Going somewhere, Malcolm?

John has gone rogue, ma'am.

He quit.

That's an entirely different thing.

He took the Garion with him.

He intends to turn it over to Volker.

But that could just... Yes, ma'am.

It is Pandora's box.

Why?

Pamela Richardson.

Volker is holding her hostage.

And you're going to rescue her?

No, ma'am. I'm going to stop
John and retrieve the Garion.

Last time I checked, I give the orders
around here unless something has changed.

This situation is a clear and present
danger to the security of the United States.

I decide what's a threat to this country.

And from everything I've
learned lately, that would be you.

Excuse me?

You've been lying to me, Malcolm.

This program isn't
everything that you said it was.

This program is everything it can be.

The people within this
program sometimes fall short.

John's predecessor,
Raymond Marks, became a threat.

A threat which needed to be eliminated.

And I followed my orders to
the letter without hesitation.

This country was founded on the
heroic efforts of unknown patriots.

Brave men and women of
great integrity who chose

to do the right thing,
no matter what the cost.

I'm a soldier, ma'am. I always
have been, and I always will be.

And I will follow my orders until
someone tells me to stand down.

Well, I am the Vice President
of the United States of America,

so unless you are choosing to go
rogue, you will follow my orders!

Is that clear?

Richard. Sergei. Dante put a
bounty on you. Now give me the Geryon.

Are we gonna do this again?

I think so, Victor. You picked
the wrong guy in the wrong time.

I do learn from my mistakes, Richard.

Meet my other nephews.

I gotta say, oddly enough, I
kind of respect this surrogate.

Cannot a plain man live and think no harm,

but thus his simple truth must be
abused with silken, sly, insinuating jacks.

Richard III.

Really, Mr. President?

If you're gonna tell me that I
don't have enemies, save your breath.

We both know that that's not true.

What's true is that Volker came at you
with everything he had, and you survived.

You call the surviving,
sitting here in this chair,

stuck here like this
for months, maybe longer?

You don't have to stand up to lead.

Good, because I can't.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt took on
the Nazis, ended the Depression,

and pulled this nation back
together when it was splintering apart.

Are you really going to tell me
you're not even going to try?

All right. I think we're done here.
Well, thank you for coming, Natalie,

but I think you've
forgotten what the president is.

When were you gonna tell me
that Folker was one of ours?

I needed to clean up my own mess.

Why did you send Malcolm
to take out Raymond Marks?

When Niece Rollins was the
enemy of the state, the terrorist.

Because I had orders from my president.

And now I'm going to give you yours.

You stop digging.

Ray Marks tried to kill me.

And when John finds him, I expect him
to take him out with extreme prejudice.

Even if I was willing to take
those orders, I couldn't comply.

John has resigned.

Resigned?

He can't resign. I still
have faith in him, sir.

So do I. The kid is a good kid,
but if he resigns, he's a traitor.

Don't call him kid.

Order the overnight train.

Yes, identity confirmed.

I want to thank you, Pamela.

I never had a way to get to
John, but thanks to you, I own him.

You're his Achilles' heel.

You don't own him.

Never will.

You think you know him, but you don't.

John and I made a deal, an arrangement.

As your lawyer, you should appreciate
that I consider the arrangement to be binding.

John isn't coming back from his mission.

No one can save you now but me.

Were you born like this? Or did
someone break your heart and wreck you?

Tell me, how did you become a monster?

Let's try.

I can see why he's attracted to you.

But you don't know me.

You've never known a man like me.

But you're gonna get a chance to.

I worked for David Williams.

He knew everything about everyone and he
used to talk to me about men like you.

Told me that men like you are
lost and afraid and are doomed

to lose because you're on
the wrong side of history.

Maybe you have a blind spot for men
like John. Men with a dark, ugly side.

Like your father. Oh, yeah.

I knew your father.

When he was with the CIA.

My dad wasn't a spy.

He worked for the State Department.

The worst ones usually are.

Your dad was a true believer like John.

The CIA wanted it that way, so they
got the best out of their operatives.

My father was a patriot. He must lie to!

When he found out what he was really
doing, he took himself out of the game.

If Daddy knew you had a
black cop's boyfriend,

he might blow his
brains out all over again.

Go to hell.

Hello, John.

You are a very wanted man.

You think Sergei was the
only one with a trace code?

You tricked me.

I offered to help you, Olga.

And then you tried to steal the Gariani,

left me here thrown around by that
psychopath, Uwe Heinrich. Thanks for that.

I want it back.

You don't understand.

If I don't deliver it
on time, Pamela's dead.

And if I don't deliver it to
Russian intelligence, I'm dead.

Not much of a choice.

I guess we have to make a deal.

It doesn't look like
you've got much to offer.

How about Nicholas Volker?

I'm listening.

And this is the Oval Office.

Natalie, you're not on my calendar.
These are some of my new friends.

I'm giving them a tour of the White House.

Gentlemen, your commander-in-chief.

Mr. President.

Gentlemen.

Get this.

Next month, they're representing the
United States in the Paralympics in basketball.

Well... Now, that...

That's impressive.

You know you like to shoot the rock, sir,

so we got you a ball
signed by the whole team.

Thank you.

Now, we could use a new
sixth man, Mr. President.

So what happened to you?

You don't mind talking about it?

Frank lost his leg in a rescue
attempt in Nairobi last year.

Is that so?

Yes, ma'am.

It was a really intense morning.

We were called over the
radio that one of our Marines

had gotten wounded by
an IED so severely that,

you know, he needed an emergency airway.

We weren't moving as fast as we needed to
towards the patient, the wounded Marine,

and he had minutes to live, if
that. And the next thing you know,

I heard the loudest explosion I've ever
heard, because it was right below my feet.

I ended up losing the lower half of
my left leg, but more importantly,

that Marine never came home.

Nairobi.

I was the one who recommended to my
president that we send troops to Nairobi.

We're all on the same team, sir.

This country is worth fighting for.

You guys are an inspiration
to this nation, and to me.

Thank you.

So that means you'll play with us?

We have a game here in
DC. In a few months, we

can use an outside
shooter. I'll tell you what.

I will have a hoop set up
here in the Oval Office,

and I will practice my shots just in case.

Sounds good to us, sir.

We'd love to have you out there, sir.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, shall we continue our tour?

I think that's his ball.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

You and Nicholas
Volker used to be partners.

I laugh if it was all so tragic
in a very Russian kind of way.

I trusted the guy. He was a friend.

And his name is Ray.

Whatever his name is.

You have to kill him as soon as
you get the chance. Otherwise,

it's a suicide mission for both of us.

I don't do what he
says. He's gonna kill her.

That's woman.

She has done something no other spy
agent in the world has been capable of.

What's that?

Capture John Case.

John, how sweet. Oh, you
remember how much I adore champagne?

No, I didn't.

I did.

Nico.

This time we meet, I
don't feel quite romantic.

Olga, Olga.

I've been looking for you, Olga Petrovka.

I knew you were close to the
Garyon, and always close to the money.

You know, the Russian
Federation was really happy

when Olga didn't come
home with the Garyon.

Right on your head. Well, thanks to you.

I was trying to get it back.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you
wanted a date with an American.

When you left me in that Chechen
hellhole, you showed no mercy.

And you better give me the device now.

Not an option. Not an option?

You know how many freelancers
out there are looking for it?

Look who's got it, me.

You can bet your ass I'm
gonna take it to the market.

Come on, Nicky, be
cool, for old time's sake.

Be cool?

You be cool, bitch. Language, Nico.

With her?

She's a snake.

Careful.

Snakes fight!

Hey, hey, hey, watch out!

Go on, don't drop it.

I'm about to kick your ass again, okay?

Time to take off this galleon bag.

It says the next waypoint's coming up.

You will never survive.

I'm gonna try.

Is this woman really worth dying for?

I'm jumping off this train, Olga.

Don't!

I know who you are.

Really?

You used to be like John.

John used to be like me.

He's not like you. He's different.

Oh, Pamela, stop.

John and I were more than
soldiers, but I have a question for you.

Why John? What was it about
him that made him so special?

He cares.

About what?

Everything.

You know...

I think the day he became
John Case, he killed himself.

And you were all he had that still
tethered him to the life he gave up.

You never really knew
him the way I knew him.

You ever tell you
about the man he murdered?

The embassies he blew up, the
so-called enemies of state he poisoned?

John is a good man. I knew
that the moment I met him.

By the time your good
man completes his mission,

he'll either be dead or
rotting in a cell in China.

And this time, I won't
be there to save him,

and he won't be here
to save you. Hey, John!

While he's sacrificing his life
for you, what would you do for him?

I love John.

I would sacrifice anything for him.

Has anyone ever loved you that way?

Love is overestimated. Unlike power
and glory, the true treasures we seek.

Things you'll never know in
your well-designed life of lies.

You know what your Achilles heel is?

Your hatred.

You hate John because he
rejected everything you believed.

I hate him because he still sees
the world in red, white, and blue.

I hate him because he
still believes in the lie.

John, John, John.

So far away.

You almost didn't make it.

It doesn't look so tough.

Make up for it in sarcasm.

Didn't hear you coming.

Yep, I know.

I like it like that.

Listen, I appreciate your
coming in out of the cold like this,

and I want you to know I
wouldn't have reached out

to you except it was
somebody in the Brotherhood.

I understand.

I appreciate you saying that. You know,

I was here a couple hours ago looking
around, doing some surveillance, as it were.

There's a hell of a lot
of containers around here.

You notice that? Yeah.

Anyway, you got a location on John?

Well, I wasn't able to track his location,

but I was able to backtrack the video
transmission that he had been receiving.

See, when a mil-spec GPS is
activated... All right, that's enough.

Enough already. Enough already.

I'm assuming that we're gonna shoot
everybody today except Pamela Richardson.

And me. And you. And maybe you. Let's go.

Don't be fooled. That plant is protected
by a state-of-the-art surveillance system.

You, however, will have
no trouble getting inside.

Drop the security system. Now.

Once inside, you get
to die a hero's death.

Your mission is to
blow up the power plant.

Why?

All you need to know now is if you
don't do it, Pamela Richardson dies.

Well, if I do do it, we cut
off clean water and electricity,

a valley full of millions of
people, and thousands could die.

And once they find the dead body,
is an American operative inside?

Who knows what the Chinese will do?

Things could get ugly.

It's OK. If you don't
want to do it, we will.

But your girl is going to pay the price.

Give me the bag. Set the
explosives next to the main generator.

So what do you pack in nowadays, a laptop?

No, it's a Sig Sauer, .229, .40 caliber.

It's 12 in the mag, one up the pipe.

Well, that's 13. That's bad luck.

Yeah, for somebody, what do you got?

Uh-oh, reliable. Colt 1911.

Which is terrific if you're Sergeant
York. That thing only chambers seven rounds.

Well, you know what
they say, if you're doing

your job right, you only need one buddy.

Oh, God.

Drones.

Man, you boys and your
toys. You got a better idea?

Yeah. 25 of them.

John, I have Pamela. She's safe.

He was using me to get to John.

Hold it.

You're sitting on a pressure plate bomb.

Don't move.

Don't move, just be very, very, very
still, okay? And we'll take care of this.

Scheisse.

Time to go to plan B.
Now, these pressure plates

are calibrated heavy, so this should work.

Very encouraging.

You know what we talked
about, right? Easy, easy.

Just slide, slide,
slide, slide, and come on.

Good plan, Mike. Works for me.

Find him!

Yeah.

You're late.

And you're ungrateful.

There's hope for you yet, Olga.

Here. Is he dead?

From Volker?

Looks like these two are headed to Paris.

Two of them.

Two of us.

We can impersonate them.

And take Volker by total surprise.

Why should I trust you?

Trust we both want the same thing.

Nikola's dead.

Neither of us will be safe
until he's taken his last breath.

Let's finish this.

Welcome back, Mr. President. I need
your help. Of course, whatever I can do.

As you know, I am scheduled
to appear at the emergency

nuclear non-proliferation
summit in Paris next week.

I want you to come with me. I am
physically not the man I was, at least not yet.

I cannot do this job alone.

Right?

So, I need someone to help me.

So please say yes.

It would be my honor, sir.

Thank you, sir.

These are very difficult times,
with the Constitution missing.

This John Case, he may very well be the
last Agent X. Have you heard from him?

Not yet. All right, so when you do,

you tell him that I
understand that those young

shoulders are carrying a lot of weight,

which is what I've been thinking.

Maybe we should have more than one Agent
X. I mean, maybe we can't just rely on one.

What are you suggesting?

Just thinking that the executive
branch creates its own army of exes.

A team of patriots capable
of doing anything so that

what just happened to
me You're not serious.

No, of course I'm not serious.

No.

No.

Well, Mike, thanks for making the trip.

Yeah, I had the time of my life.

You know, one of these days,

John's gonna find out what really
happened to his father. That day comes,

there's gonna be hell to pay.

Yeah, I know. For all of it.

Listen, Mike, maybe you ought to
come in out of the cold for good.

This vice president's
different. She can be trusted, though.

When will you be home?

Soon, I promise. There's
just one more thing I gotta do.

I understand.

I'll be here when you get back.

I love you, John.

I love you, Pamela.
