Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 2, Episode 5 - Around the Sun - full transcript

(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, watch it!

Excuse me.
I wasn't getting out of line.
I just needed to...

Wait, you're the one
who almost ran me over.

I didn't see anyone
at the OHB crosswalk.

Well, I wasn't actually
in the crosswalk, but...

There you go.
Drip coffee. Black.

Thank you.

Two. Lots of milk
and lots of sugar.
Sure.

Coffee.
At your 10:00.

Thanks, Annie.



This Alpha Barbie almost
mowed me down in
the parking lot this morning.

And then, she took
my spot in line
at the coffee cart.

You had me
at Alpha Barbie.

So, the day is
already conspiring
against you?

Yes.
Mmm.

Are you dressed
for a wedding
or a funeral?

Hmm.
A little bit of both.

You are standing in front of
the new head of the Office
of Congressional Affairs.

Oh! That's huge.
Congratulations.

Thanks.

Wait.

Your desk
isn't cleaned up.
It's cleaned off.

You're leaving me?

Well, you went from
thrilled for me to
sad for you in two seconds.



You're going to lose
your covert status.

Am I going be able
to see you?

We'll make it work.

But not like this.
Not every day.

Believe it or not,
this was
a very hard decision.

And I'll still be
keeping an eye on you.

So to speak.

The OCA is
a great job.

It is.

And you'll be
on the seventh floor
with the big boys.

You can always
come by and visit.

Just make
an appointment first.

Groan. Eye roll.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
JAI: Briefing time, Annie.

Sounds like
somebody's day is
about to get better.

I heard something
about NASA.

Really?
You've forgotten
me already.

Good luck today.

Thanks.

Have fun with
the astronauts.

This area of
Northwestern Colombia

is now friendly to
Colombia's rebel army,
FARC.

Just to orient you,
Colombia's Batallon
Cartagena military base.

This is what
our analysts saw over
Batallon Cartagena

for two hours yesterday.

The area went dark.

The first images
following the blackout

show at least
ten LAV-150's near
the base's perimeter.

FARC is spreading
its wings.

They've grown bolder.
And as the satellite
corruption proves,

more sophisticated.

If FARC takes
the border area,

they could drive into
Panama itself

and conceivably overtake
the canal zone.

This represents
a very real danger
to U.S. interests.

NASA wants a discrete
domestic inquest into its
satellite maintenance program.

If this can happen
to one U.S. satellite,

it could happen
to all of them.

Jai, I want you and Annie
to work on that inquest team,
along with Reva.

Who's Reva?

Auggie's replacement.

No one can ever
replace Auggie Anderson,

but Reva Kline,
everyone.

Reva came from
Science and Technology,

where she was the youngest
Iead project manager ever
to hold that position.

Let's make her
feel at home.

Hi.
MAN: Welcome.

It's good to be here.

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

JAI:
Is that your pedal foot?

Ha-ha. Very funny.

Annie's a fast driver.

My sister wants us to do
the Marine Corps marathon.
Training started last night.

Is she married?
Yeah.

Hmm.

What?

Nothing.
It's just that,

in 35 percent
of failed marriages,

the wife usually
takes up a sport
or a pastime

as a precursor
to divorce.

Although running is a really
great way to work things out.

Besides, it's cheaper
than therapy, right?

Okay. So, Annie,
you're going to use
your Smithsonian NOG

to infiltrate NASA.

Great. I can use
all that knowledge

I got at Space Camp
when I was 12.

I had no idea you
were a space geek.

Get to know me.
It's the final frontier.

Space, I mean.
Not me.

Reva.
What do you think
of Space Exploration?

If you look at the numbers,
the NASA missions

waste an inordinate
amount of our nation's
science budget.

Do you honestly think
you can put a price on

bold explorations
of new frontiers in space?

I try to.
I have a spreadsheet here
if you'd like to see it.

I can...

Okay. Mission.

Annie, you'll head down
to NASA headquarters
on E Street.

There is a Mars Day
reception in the lobby.

NASA employees
and their families
will be there.

You'll take the oral histories
of four NASA staffers

who contributed to
the maintenance
of the satellite.

And I'll take your video
and use facial and
body language

micro-expression analysis
to hone in on
potential suspects.

So, you're going to
watch my interviews
and look for tells.

Like in poker.

It's not a primitive
gut instinct
Iike in a card game.

It works.

Annie, you'll ask
four general questions.

Three of which are
Iead-ups to the control
trigger question.

And one more thing.
Budget cuts at NASA
have been severe.

So, don't be disappointed
if morale...

Isn't as high as yours.

Okay.

(MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

You're still here
with us regular folk.

Bureaucracy never ceases
to amaze me.

I had to fill out 12 forms
just to get this key card
for the seventh floor.

Where I have to
fill out more forms.

NASA wants us to
investigate scientists
and astronauts.

Well, if NASA is
requesting it,
it's an internal audit.

So, you're not
breaching CIA charter.

It still feels weird.

Because it's Americans,
or because it's NASA?

Both.

Joan knows how you feel.
That's probably why
she picked you.

Why is that?

Because she knows
you care enough
to get this right.

(BEEPING)

Now, I don't know
if you caught that,
but I just hit seven.

My opponents on
the Intelligence Committee
are gaining momentum.

They're prepared to ask
for an investigation
and hearings into Arthur

as early as next week.

At least, that's what
we're hearing.

Maybe you know
something else.

Chet.

Are you sure this is decaf?

Positive.

Yeah.

No, don't worry
about hearings.

Those clowns
on the Intelligence Committee
have to justify their jobs.

You're in good hands
with me.

So, listen.
I have a tennis date
in Hilton Head.

We'll revisit
when I get back.

I'm confused.

Are we rescheduling
the meeting

or was that the meeting?

How did you come to
work for NASA?

I was a double major
in physics and
aeronautical engineering.

Not everyone can work on
ozone mapping spectrometers.

With a minor
in applied mathematics.

Air Force.
Fly. Fight. Win.

I had Ph.D's
in musical theory
and practical philosophy.

I've, uh, always wanted
to work for NASA.

Since I was, um,
a little boy.

Um, what are you
working on specifically
right now?

TOMS Volcanic Emissions,
Ozone Mapping.

I'm an astronaut.

I supervise a team
of technicians,

um, in the satellite
maintenance office.

We always have
a contingency plan.

And, uh,
no program is green-Iit

until we know every solution
to every possible externality.

Where do you see yourself
in five years?

Out of HQ in DC,
and down at Canaveral
where the action happens.

Space.

Did I mention to you
I was an astronaut?

Yeah.

Can I...
Sorry, can I go now?

I'm a NASA guy,
so I probably will be
working right here.

CHARLIE:
Tell her how close you came
to serving on

the Presidential Commission
for Space Exploration.

That's not a plant.

He's my son. Charlie.

My dad should be
in the Smithsonian.

He basically started
working for NASA
when he was 10.

I saw the Apollo 15
space launch
at Cape Canaveral.

Really?

Yes. My folks drove down
from Charlottesville

in our Ford Country
Squire station wagon.

What's your favorite
mission, Charlie?

Pioneer 10.

Back from the dead
and seven billion
miles away.

And still going.

See you, Earth.

I'm with Carl Sagan on that.

We're just a pale blue dot.

Excuse me.
I oversee all multimedia
projects at Smithsonian,

and the first I've
heard of this film

is a phone call I got
about 15 minutes ago.

Who exactly signed off
on your project?

Uh, Dennis Stephens.

I have no idea
who that is.

I'm calling...
The board of directors?

He's on it.

He's in charge
of fund-raising for
the next two years,

including the Heritage Fund.

Are you familiar
with that?
Yes, I am.

I'm sorry to interrupt.
No, it's no problem.

Sorry.

The irony of
a view you can't enjoy
is not lost on me.

But I didn't want to
give you a different office

just because you can't
appreciate blue skies.

By the way, we replicated
your DPD work station
to the inch.

Well, not exactly.

You added
state of the art speakers
and some other goodies.

Catered lunch
at 1 :00 p.m.

You're in
the big leagues now.

(EXHALES)

Wow, you've really
made this place
your own.

Mmm.

And so quickly.

Annie, I had to sift through
a lot of your
NASA interview footage.

Next time, try to put
the control question

in the same place
during each interview.

You varied it once.

Duly noted.

In 84 percent of
perjury cases,

the subjects display
common physical behaviors.

And in 70 percent
of those cases,

they actually try to
hide themselves.

They put up
a physical barrier,
Iike an arm.

ANNIE: What are you
working on specifically
right now?

Uh, I, um...
I supervise
a team of technicians,

um, in the satellite
maintenance office.

Well, that's it?
That's our start.

The arm across his waist
is the tell.

So, we dug deeper.

The tensile quality
in his oculi and oris muscles

is inconsistent
during this answer.

An involuntary
sign of deceit.

Or he was just nervous.

JAI: He's got motive.

NASA refused to fund
his project on satellite
refueling six months ago.

His wife left him
Iast year.

And while he was initially
admitted to NASA
through the astronaut program,

he never got to
go up in space.

Of all the guys
I interviewed there,

Will was the only one
cut from genuine
NASA cloth.

NASA engineers are poorly paid
and underappreciated.

Two qualities that fit
the treasonous profile.

We need to get him
under surveillance.

That's NSA purview.

We'll get Joan to liaise
with Fort Meade.

No. No way.
Absolutely not.

A wiretap means
we're in bed with NSA,

and they would control
the Legacy switch.

Sorry.

An R1 wire transmitter
could get around
the Legacy Switch.

Supercede the rule of law?

Destroy our tenuous
relationship with Justice
and the NSA?

Well, if you let me
just finish, I...
No.

Reva, you are new,
so I'll let you in on the way
things work in my Division.

There is no
Socratic Method here.

My decisions are final.

Are you okay?

(SNIFFLES)
Um, I'm fine.

I just have allergies.

Uh, pollen counts
are at eight point five.

Just so you know,
you're not the first person

Joan has balled-out
on their first day.

Really?

She's actually
kind of cool.

Well, maybe not cool,
but not so bad.

Once you
figure her out.

In DST,
we didn't have to
figure out people.

I mean,
we just generated files
and charts and studies.

I transferred here
to the DPD

because I wanted
more of a challenge.

And clearly,
I've gotten it.

Around here,
it's a bit more of
a two way street.

Human intelligence
and hard facts.

Yeah.

What about
one-way surveillance?

Bug their home?
Why not?

We can do it ourselves.

We'd only hear
one side
of the phone call.

But we'd hear everything
that was going on
in their house.

We'd maintain
jurisdiction over
the investigation,

and we wouldn't have
to interface with NSA.

That will work.

How should we
get inside their house?

Create a diversion?
Call in a bomb threat?

No, that's likely to
tip off the FBI.
And we don't want that.

How about this?

What are you doing?

Are you calling
the target?

(PHONE RINGING)

WILL: Hello?
Hey, is this Will?

Yes. Who's this?

This is Annie Walker
from the Smithsonian.

I filmed you
for Mars Day.

I was wondering if
I could drop off a photo
we have here

as a small thank you
for doing our piece.

Today?
Yeah, today would be great.

I could even
take you guys out
for a bite.

Well, Charlie and I
were planning to grill
on the rooftop.

Nothing special,
of course.

You're welcome to come.
Around 6:30 or 7:00?

I love a good barbecue.

I'll see you tonight.

Annie, when you were
up at NASA,

did anything seem
out of the ordinary?

Uh, a PR rep asked me
what I was doing,
but I handled it.

You handled it.

Did it ever occur to you
that you might have
blown your cover yesterday?

I mean,
what are the chances of
them having a barbecue

the night you
invite yourself over?

This is a trap.

You get all that?

Yes.

And are we responding
to a request

to declassify these three
Afghanistan missions?

This is voluntary.
It's part of my
transparency push.

Some of our assets in Kashmir
have used their influence to
open up the region.

Yes, sir.

And Auggie.
Have some fun with this.

We built a school for girls.

It's the feel-good hit
of the summer.

Yes, sir.

Hey. Come on in.

Apollo 15.

You remembered.

I thought you'd
appreciate it.

Thank you.

I swear the sun was
brighter back then.

I'm sure that's just because
Florida is closer
to the equator.

Charlie is upstairs
Iighting the coals.

Can I get you
something to drink?
Um, a beer?

Sure.

It's clean.
It's just, we're not
big folders around here.

No judgment.
Should we go upstairs?

I'm hungry, too.
Let's, um...
Let's go.

REVA: Remember, Annie.
You need to give Jai
coverage in the apartment

from 7:00 to 7:15,
for the surveillance
installation.

Don't come down
from the roof
until 7:15.

First star
of the night, Dad.

Antares beat Scorpio.

Oh, there's Bootes.

I can just see Spica.

CHARLIE: Where?

It's nice.

You guys take the time
to come and do this
once in a while.

Not just once in a while.

I come home from work
to look at the stars
with Charlie every night.

No matter what.

Let's eat.

Delphinus was the first
constellation I ever learned.

My dad taught me.

I got Chicken Pox
the first day before
third grade.

He carried me out
into the backyard,
pointed straight up,

and told me
the story of Delphinus.

So, every autumn,
when you look at the small
cluster of Delphinus,

you must think of him.

Yeah, I do.

(LAUGHTER)

Charlie?
Set up the telescope.

Come on.

Oh. Wow.

Are you married
or anything?

Uh, not that I know of.

You should hang out
with my Dad.
He's really cool.

Whoa.

I mean,
he can be kind of
a dork sometimes,

but he built this telescope.

That is impressive.

I know our apartment
Iooks really depressing,

but it's just because
my dad never asks
for a raise.

He doesn't believe
in asking for anything.

He's really proud
about that.

What about you?
Nah, not so much.

I've got my eye on
a really sweet Vespa.

(LAUGHS) Oh!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Wow.
The weatherman is
finally right.

Storm is on its way.
We'd better get downstairs.

Actually, I'm still hungry.
Could I have
one more bratwurst?

JAI:
Yeah. I've got you
loud and clear.

I'm walking through
right now,
talking out loud

Iike a crazy person.
You got that?

Okay, I'm going to
set one more.
It's all we've got time for.

This is really good.
You can take
that downstairs.

You don't have to
eat it out in the rain.

Mmm.

(THUNDER ROLLING)

WILL: We just made it.

Oh. Uh, I left
my sweater upstairs.

You guys
head on down.
I'll get it.

Thanks, Charlie.

(PANTING)

I feel great.

I had a light supper.
Went to bed early.
I slept like a rock.

I ate too much and
went to bed late.

But, thanks.

Hey, can I
ask you something?

Sure.

Is everything okay
with you and Michael?

I know he's been
traveling a lot.

It's fine.
I mean, it's weird.
It's hard to explain.

Try me.

It's nothing
earth-shattering.
It's just...

Danielle, what is it?

I don't miss him much.

At all.
Danielle, I'm so...

No, it's fine.
That's what's so crazy.
I'm fine.

What happened?

I don't know.

Do you think it's possible
to slowly fall out of love
with someone?

Any thoughts?
Hello?

Let's keep
running and talking.

So, I don't know
whether I should talk
to Michael.

Annie?

Hey, slow down.

I just want to finish.
You want to win.

Sorry.

Danielle, I want to
talk about this,

but I realized I just
dropped my phone
back there.

The museum is
going to kill me.

It has everyone's
home number on it.

Well, I'll help you.
No.

Uh, don't.
Go home.
Please?

The girls have
to get ready for
school.

Well, I'll call...
No, you can't.

Because you don't
have your phone,
and I dropped mine.

I'll be careful.
I promise.

Okay.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Hey!
(HONKING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Annie.
I was surveilled
this morning.

I need you to
get in touch with

Rock Creek Park Police

and see if anyone ID'd
a female involved in
a parkway pileup.

Blue top, long braid.

Okay. Will do.

As for you,
protocol directive 2408.

Got it.
I'll watch my tail.

No. That means
you shouldn't
come in today.

Ha-ha!
Not going to happen.

I'm in sticker shock.

It's not even itemized.

Neither are our
bills to Congress.

He knew we had
nowhere else to turn.

He knew we needed
a fat cat attorney.

And he got us to dip into
our retirement funds

for a tennis vacation
in Hilton Head?

Yeah, don't
personalize it.

I was wrong to insist
that we hire him.

So, what should we do?

I need you to
be every bit as gallant
as I know you can be.

This doesn't sound good.

I need you to pay him,
and then,
I need you to fire him.

Please.

I thought...
I wasn't tailed.

How can you be sure?

I took three buses,
two metro lines,

and the Agency jitney
dropped me off
at the front door.

AII in all,
I'd say public
transportation

is a better deal than
my parking spot.

Your boy, Will,
has an active nightlife.

That was the woman who
tailed me in the park.
She was with Will?

JAI: Last night,
almost immediately
after you left.

Then, Will came back home
and we got this.

WILL:
I have another drop.
Same time and place.

Will's our guy.

(DOOR OPENING)

ARTHUR: Auggie.

This press release
about our missions,
the school,

my efforts to open up
the Agency?

Yes, sir.

It reads like
Crime and Punishment.

Except with
no information in it.

You're maddeningly obtuse.

If we're going to
depress the hell
out of everyone,

Iet's not bother
voluntarily declassifying
anything.

I mean, Auggie,
we built a girls' school.

A girls' school.

And I included that.

Along with vague,
conditional information

about the purpose
of the school, itself.

Let me save you
some cat and mouse.

Girls will show up.
They will learn.

Lives will improve.

It's straightforward.

Now, I underestimated
how difficult a transition
it would be

for a good covert operative
Iike yourself.

Especially one
with such talent on
the battlefield.

It's not difficult, sir.

I'm asking you to
run against every instinct
to maintain secrecy.

I learned those skills.
I can unlearn them.

Well, unlearn them quick.

The press conference
is tomorrow.

Annie Walker and
icy hot menthol.

(CHUCKLES)

Marathon training
is no picnic.

Hey, these new digs
are incredible.

I've got my own thermostat
and free lunch.

AII I ever wanted
was a job with free food.

But you're not here to
talk about my job,
are you?

The DPD has
their NASA traitor
dead to rights.

Yeah?
Phone calls,
surveillance photos...

But something about it
does not line up.

Talk to Reva.

I vetted her with Joan.
She's good.

She's not you.

Annie,
I'd love to help you,
but I can't.

What do you mean, you can't?
You always know what to do.

I just bummed out
of my first assignment
for Arthur,

and I've got to
turn it around by
the end of the day.

You are
the first friend I ever made
at this Agency.

And no one I have met here
has impressed me more since.

You're going to do
great at this job.

I want to make it clear
we're just talking.

You're free to go
at any time.

In the way I'm
free to not take the
field sobriety test?

Meaning what?

Meaning that
by not talking,

that's a presumption
of guilt.

We can talk about talking,
or we can talk.

Or we can
sit and not talk.

I didn't know who
they were at first.

You know who
they are now?

Colombian rebels.

I'm going to advise you
to get an attorney.

Because we're going to
have to hand our investigation
over to the feds.

I'll tell you everything.

I'm tired of lying.

JOAN: How did
the Colombians
make you?

I don't understand.

How did they turn you?
How did they convince you
to spy for them?

I was at a science fair
of Charlie's.

He was a finalist
in the national competition.

She was a very attractive
American woman

who said that she was
from the private sector.

She said her company had
heard of my work,

and that no price
was too high

to woo me away from NASA.

JOAN:
She works for FARC.

I know that now.

I knew that her company
was coming at me with
a strategy of seduction.

But I just didn't care.

After a couple of
rough of years,

both personally
and professionally,
she was a tonic.

Then, what happened?

Then, I met her again.
This time,
at the Planetarium.

She asked me
for a manual that I'd written
on satellite maintenance.

JOAN:
Which they could
reverse engineer.

So, after you gave her
the manual,

is that when she revealed
who she worked for?

By that time,
they had their hooks in me.

They blackmailed me
for more information
about the satellite.

I was trapped.

You weren't trapped.

You could have come to us
after handing over
that first manual,

but you chose not to.

I'm sorry.

You want to
talk about it?

There's nothing really
to say.

Maybe it's just
a temporary lull.

You know,
a passing funk.

Michael's a good father.

You always see
the best in everyone.

Maybe I'm naive.

No. I just need to
take a beat and refocus.

Why don't you
go for a romantic
night out?

I'll watch the girls
this weekend.

I could do that.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm just into
Will's finances.

He listed NASA as
a beneficiary of part
of his 401 K.

So?

So, this is not a guy
who hates his institution.

Annie, you helped the DPD
nail NASA's mole.

Okay?
It's in the Fed's hands.
Now, can we move on?

Uh, normally, this is the time
where my former tech op
would encourage me.

Support my gut instinct
and assist in my research.

Have you heard of
the Hummingbird Project?

Was that the one
two years ago

where DST was making
surveillance birds?

Yes. Remote-controlled
hummingbirds that could
monitor outdoor conversations.

I was behind that.

And even after it failed
a very critical test run
due to interference,

I kept pushing it.
I couldn't let it go.

Well, it sounds
Iike a cool idea.

Well, it was.

Until we took it out
to Camp Peary for
a second test run.

There was just one thing
we didn't count on,
was weather.

I mean, when the wind blew,
we couldn't control
the damn things.

My blind faith in that project
set me back two years
at the Agency.

So, take some
advice from me,

and get out of
your own way.

We're done with
the NASA operation.

Move on.

Okay?

You know what I get
from that story?

You were fired up
about something.

Auggie, you are
the Ernest Hemingway
of good news.

It turns out I was right.
You're a natural at this.

You're a quick study.

You're going to help
move the Agency
into a new era.

Reporters are like
tigers in captivity.

If you want to
clean the cage,

you've got to distract them
with a piece of meat.

Many good operatives
have come in from the cold.

Yes, sir.

There is a life,

a fulfilling life
for an overt officer, Auggie.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Come on, Auggie.
It's time.

Micro-expressions
don't lie, right?

I don't like to
use absolutes,
but, yes.

Statistically,
micro-expressions are

excellent baselines
of truthfulness.

And putting up
a physical barrier

Iike your arm
or a coffee cup
means a lie, right?

Right.
Okay.

JOAN: How did they turn you?
How did they convince you
to spy for them?

I was at a science fair
for Charlie.

He was a finalist
in the national competition.

Wait a second.

That's his tell.

Right?

You're right.
He's lying.

Exactly.

How could he be
Iying both times?

(DOOR OPENING)

Somehow, I knew that
a beautiful filmmaker

who loves space
was too good to be true.

What happened to
the aspiring astronaut?

Annie, in the scope of things,
I didn't ruin the world.

Life, or the expansion
of the galaxy,
for that matter,

continues to go on
for billions of years,
with or without me.

We're just
a pale blue dot.

Charlie quoted Carl Sagan
when he was talking
about Pioneer 10.

It wasn't you they made
at the science fair.

It was Charlie,
wasn't it?

He was only a boy.

A very smart
16-year-old boy.

And then,
she came along.

That's all it took
to snag a kid
with his own ambitions,

who also wanted
his old man
to be a hero again.

How did he get
the information?

At first,
it was just my resume.

Then, it was
a paper I wrote.

He thought he was
giving my work

to someone in
the private sector.

They told him that,
just by doing that,

he had violated
the State Secrets Act.

And they just
kept asking for more.

When did they have you?

As soon as
Charlie told me.

I took over
the relationship.

I gave them
the information
about the satellites.

And I didn't know
what else to do.

What did Charlie think
was happening?

He thought
I had fixed it all.

He thought
things were back
to normal.

It's been hard
since his mother left.

But it wasn't over,
was it?

No.

Why the phone call?

WILL: When I walked you
out of the building
after the barbecue,

I saw they
left me a signal.

It was a bike
locked up to the bus stop.

That meant they wanted me
to meet them immediately.

What did they say
at the meeting?

They thought
you might be
on to me.

When you walked in
the building,

they said someone
followed you in

then climbed out
the fire escape

just when we
came down
from the rooftop.

They assumed that
you had bugged my place.

Then, why would you
go home

and make
an incriminating
phone call?

(SIGHS)

Wait.

You were trying
to get caught?

That was just a message I left
on my own voicemail.

Once you were out to us,

FARC's pipeline
to NASA's information
would be shut down.

And Charlie would be
useless to them.

Well, what was
your contingency plan?

AII of this.

This wasn't a space mission.

I had to protect my son,
no matter what the cost.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Reva.

AUGGIE:
Annie Walker.
I remember you.

Auggie?

I'm back.

Because you missed me
so much?

Oh, you're good,
but you're not that good.

I wasn't ready to
blow my cover.

Besides, you are
clearly helpless
without me.

Completely and
utterly helpless.

Are you read in?

Yeah.
It's not over, Annie.

Why?
Charlie made a call.

He offered to give up
everything about his
dad's research

on satellite
rendezvous capacities
if they'll let Will go.

He thinks
Will is being held
by FARC?

You've got to
get to him
before they do.

Charlie, listen to me.
Your dad's safe.

We want to help you.

He told us about FARC.

I'm here to protect you.

PLANETARIUM NARRATOR:
Eighty-eight constellations

move across the sky
each year.

Cast your eyes
upward toward
the Northern hemisphere...

Come.

...and we will explore
just one part
of the celestial field

that has mesmerized
humankind for
thousands of years.

Just as countries
have natural...

(BEEPING)

Charlie, get the gun!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

It's over.
It's going to be okay.

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Do you have other
relatives here?

I mean,
who will you stay with?

Grandma for now.

Downside, lots of chores.
Upside, folded laundry.

When can I see my dad?

I don't know, yet.

What I do know is
I've never seen two people
so loyal to each other.

And that will count
for something, Charlie.

Come on.
Let's call
your grandmother.

Chet, we wanted to
talk to you.

Look, there's no reason
to thank me.

This is what I do.

That's what we wanted
to talk about.

I got him in the third set.

Now, I'm not going to
Iie to you.

We could be having
a very different conversation

if my tennis elbow
had flared up.

We're talking about
why we hired you.

Yeah, I know, Joanie.
No hearings.

Who do you think I was
playing tennis with?

I have no idea.

The esteemed Senator
from Kentucky.

Jensen?

He told his committee
this morning

there's no reason
to pursue
an investigation.

Get some sleep, chief.

(LAUGHTER)

To everything
in its place.

Hear, hear.

What happens to
you now, Reva?

Um, back to DST.

But with a bump
in pay grade.

They're nowhere
near as much fun
as we are.

But they're
more predictable.

Well, you say that like
it's a compliment.

Time for more drinks.

Oh. I've got to go.

I have a date.

Well, well.
Ooh.

Here it is.

It's old.

Did you find it?

My dad gave it to me
for my birthday

when I was just
a little older than you.

You guys are really lucky,
and not just because I'm
babysitting tonight.

There's a really
bright star I'm
going to show you.

Plus, there's
a story to go with it.
