Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 4, Episode 10 - Levitate Me - full transcript

Previously on
Covert Affairs...

I hope you take my candidacy
seriously, Senator Pierson.

I'm sorry, but, um, I'm going
to have to recuse myself...

My name is Arthur Campbell.

I need a lawyer, Miss Manning.

Why is Henry Wilcox meeting
with an A.L.C. terrorist?

Turns out Calder's not working
for Henry after all.

If you sabotage
that helicopter...

I'm not gonna sabotage
anything.

Teo's gonna do that.

Teo, come on!



Teo?

He's lost a lot of blood.

Prep room three
for surgery, stat.

All right.

Do you know that Henry
laid over in Frankfurt

for 36 hours on his way
to Copenhagen?

He must be meeting someone.

I'm gonna find out who.

I'm sorry.

These allegations against
my client are patently false.

Arthur Campbell is a patriot
and a hero.

We have limited time.

Arthur's being detained
for questioning by Justice.

The A.G. is out for blood
on this one.



It wasn't easy,
but I got you ten minutes.

Go.

Arthur.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'm so sorry about Teo.

We're gonna get you home.

You briefed state?

By the time I got there,
the secretary was stonewalling.

News that Teo was your son

had already reached
the Truman building.

It's not good, Arthur.
The barbarians are at the gate.

Did you find Annie?

She left the base
at Schweinfurt.

Not yet.

BND and Interpol are combing
Germany looking for her.

I've told them it's an agency
mission, but they won't listen.

Copenhagen was
too big an event.

Now exfiltration's
your best bet.

Get her home.

Exfil would be a good idea

if she'd answer
our communication protocols.

Well, she's scared
and determined.

She's Annie.

Bianca tells me Justice
is preparing legal action.

She's advising me
to take a plea.

Arthur--

It'd keep the blowback
off of you.

I can't have you in jeopardy.

Our child deserves at least
one parent out of prison.

He is going to have both.

You said "he."

I did.

What happened to ten minutes?

What is it?

Senator Pierson's
in my office.

She's demanding
a private meeting.

The barbarians
are in the castle.

International caller,
37-9376-242.

Hey, I'll call you right back.

Hey.

- I need a way into Frankfurt.
- Where are you?

Uh, in the main-Spessart
district just west of Karlstadt.

- You found a car.
- Found is one way to put it.

I guess you could say
I also found this phone.

Well, you're going
to have to keep that up.

No above-board transactions,
limited interactions.

Burner phones
on a one-and-done basis,

and don't call me
my personal cell phone anymore.

If it isn't tapped already,
it will be soon.

I got it.

The authorities are gonna be
looking for you on the autobahn,

so stick to Strasse 2035
going west.

It'll take you
through Lohr and Blankenbach,

and when you get
into the inner city,

ditch the car at the Altstadt.

You're gonna need a full
turnover once you get there.

Clothes, phone,
wash your money.

Any idea what Henry was doing

for the 36 hours
he was in Frankfurt?

Uh, your guess
is as good as mine.

I got to tell you, Annie,

going after Henry
while being a fugitive is--

I know what you're gonna say.

It's ill-advised,

but I can't let him get away
with killing Teo.

I was gonna say badass.

Thanks, Auggie.

All right, when I get
into the office,

I'll pull some favors,

requisition the current
Frankfurt CCTV feeds.

Some of the best in the world.

Henry's probably laying low,
but we might get lucky.

You're right.

We are good at this.

You're damn straight.

Now check in from Frankfurt,
and get rid of that phone.

Good morning, Senator.

My aide said it was urgent.
Well, thank you for sparing us

both the Kabuki theatre
of asking why it was urgent.

- Why are you here, Claire?
- The Teo Bragir affair.

Copenhagen.

The intelligence committee
obviously has

serious misgivings
about Arthur and his actions.

They don't even know
the details of his actions.

And you?
What did you know?

How much?
When?

What was your role
in this whole sordid affair?

You know, you--
you authorized the transport

of a captured comrade
of Teo Braga,

and he was promptly killed,
so what was your agenda?

Do you want me to answer
any of these questions,

or are you just here
to experience

the pleasure of asking them?

Neither.

I'm here to tell you that I've
been in contact with the DCI,

and you'll be relieved
of your duties

until an inquest
can be conducted.

If that's
the DCI's decision,

then he can tell me himself.

Oh, he will, and if you think
that another file

filled with photos can get you
out of this mess,

well, you can forget it.

You know, I've come clean
with my husband,

and my marriage is in tatters,
but my morals are intact.

You know, sooner or later,
everyone has to pay

for their sins, and for you,

Joan, that time is now.

Joan?

The DCI would like
to see you.

I know.

Okay, listen up, people.

We have a very fluid situation.

So here is where we are
as of 8:24 a.m.

Joan Campbell has been relieved
of her duties.

I'm addressing you
because I've been assigned

as her interim replacement.

The most pressing matter for all
of us is operative Annie Walker.

She's off the grid, and European
authorities want her arrested.

We have to assume
there's more to the story,

but we need
to get her out first.

I'm putting Calder Michaels
in charge

of a rapid deployment team,

which he'll meet up with
in Germany.

That's all for now.

Let's go, people.

Get this upstairs immediately.

Calder,
we need to talk.

Aren't you under review?

I am.
They told me to stand by.

I'm standing by.

Come here.

What do you want?

I need you to hold off
on that exfil.

So you want me
to not go get Annie?

Just for six hours.

She needs time to get something
done on the ground.

Okay.
So where is she?

Obviously, if you know
she needs time,

you've been talking to her.

I have, but I don't want you
to get in the way of her Op.

Oh, so it's an Op now.

Tell me about it.
Offbook.

Something only Annie can do.

I got a plane to catch.

Calder, give her the time.

You don't get it, Auggie,
so let me spell it out to you.

You're asking for trust
but offering nothing in return.

You're lucky
you're just under review,

'cause Joan is out
of the building--

Wait, Joan's what?

As far as Copenhagen goes,
you and I both know

that there's no way Annie
should be running an operation.

Whether you like it or not,

I'm Annie's best friend
right now.

Joan.
I just heard.

DCI gave me 15 minutes
to clean out of my office.

My codeword clearance passcodes

have already been taken
off-line.

- This is a witch hunt.
- Henry's master plan.

The clock is ticking.

It's only a matter of time
before they find my alias

on Teo's account.

But you are still here,
and Annie needs you,

now more than ever.

You know, when we sign up here,
we take an oath of fidelity,

an oath of honor.

We know
we're gonna give up a lot,

maybe even our lives,
and we accept that,

but in a pinch,
is the Agency

ever really there
for us in return?

Joan?
Hey.

Whoa!
Joan.

Joan?
Joan, are you okay?

Damn it.

@elder_man

Due to your swollen hands
and high blood pressure,

you're most likely suffering
from preeclampsia.

That's common
among pregnant women, right?

It is, but we need to get her
to a hospital.

- I'm going with you.
- No.

You are staying here, Auggie.
Joan-

Don't "Joan" me.
Remember what we talked about.

Annie needs you.
Okay.

Well, you need anything,
you call me.

Okay.

I'll check in.

All right.

Hey, man.
How's Joan?

She'll be fine.
Joan's tough.

Snack time's over.

I need to get
a real-time scan going

on the full array
of German PTZ domes.

We need a 36-hour backlog
on Henry Wilcox in Frankfurt.

I want facial recognition,

I want passport control,

and I want
any monetary forensics.

Um...

What?
I don't hear any typing.

It's just some of the projects
you had us do recently

have been a little risky.

And by that he means
super risky, job-wise.

Yeah, you're right,

but I can't trust anyone else
with this.

It's for Annie.

You hear me typing now, right?

Hello, Arthur.

How the hell
did you get in here?

You really should be asking
yourself that question.

Leave now, Henry,
before I hurt you.

Doesn't feel good being held
against your will, does it?

You've always been imperious,

considered yourself
above the law,

as if the rules
didn't apply to you.

You were that way
when you took Jai away from me,

and you're still that way.

But now there's nothing more
you can take away from me.

I hope you realize that
before you die trying.

I'm done talking with you,
Henry.

Your actions
have already spoken, loudly.

Good-bye, Arthur.

Nothing.

- What do we got?
- Frankfurt is wired.

CCTV cameras on almost every
block, and all of them work,

but
but Henry's smart.

He knows where they're placed.

- What is that?
- It's a full 180 radial

of a street
called Sieberstrasse.

- Well, what do you see?
- Jackpot!

Henry Wilcox,
leaving the restaurant Sevres,

uh, two days ago,
8:30 p.m.

Hello.

Mingus, you there?

Yeah. We have
a mutual friend in common.

He was in your neck of the woods
two days ago.

Really?
Lmfao.

Small world.

What was he doing?
Grabbing a bite.

Sevres was the name of the spot.

Maybe I'll check it out too.

Do they have a happy hour?

Not sure.
Joan had to step out for a bit.

Read between the lines.

Got it.

This has been
an awesome conversation.

Let's do it again soon.

I'd love that.

Hi brother. No marching
band welcome.

This isn't exactly a marching
band situation, Gary.

It's okay.
It's more personal.

- You know the operative?
- Yeah, she's in my division.

I need her back quickly.

And you said you wouldn't go
soft when you went back to HQ.

This isn't me being soft.

This is me trying to get to
the truth, and I can't get that

until I get Annie Walker
back on American soil.

- Okay.
- I personally requested you

to lead this exfil, not because
of our longstanding friendship,

but because I believe you were
the guy who could get it done.

Can you get the job
done for me, Gary?

I think you know the answer
to that question.

- All right.
- I've placed six two-man SUVs

at multiple extraction points
down four main auto-routes.

Walker's gonna recognize
a protocol pattern.

Once we make contact,
we fall into escort

all the way
back to Ramstein.

Have your girl on the same
damn plane you flew in on.

No.

We're going into Frankfurt,
center city.

We'll fan out on foot
from there.

My "girl," as you call her,
seems to be staying in town.

I want to find out why.

Ah, I-I-I don't speak German.

We are closed.
We open for dinner at 6:30,

but you need a reservation.

We're fully committed
this evening.

I actually wanted
to speak to you

about something else.

Um, this--this is a picture
of my father.

I think he ate here
a few nights ago.

It's not our policy
to discuss patrons.

No, um--
I don't know how to say this.

I think he's having an affair,
and he told my mother

that he was having
a business dinner here.

I wonder if you remember
anything about who he ate with,

just to put my mind at ease?

Hmm, you're right.

He was here a few nights ago.

He met with a woman.
I'm sorry.

It seemed romantic.

He ordered a bottle
of, uh, Weingut Keller Riesling,

and he brought
his own flowers.

Okay.
Thank you.

Uh, if it's any consolation,
the woman didn't stay long.

She talked very briefly
with him,

but things didn't...
seem good,

and she left
without ever sitting down.

Hmm, maybe the affair's over.
Maybe.

He was there two nights ago
with a woman.

Flowers and wine.

What do you think that's about?

Probably a set protocol

with a security consultant
or a cutout.

It takes more than one person,

even if it is Henry Wilcox,
to pull off an attack like that.

The flowers could have meant
Copenhagen was a go.

Speaking of which, any word
on our red-haired friend?

Nothing yet.

Scanned the HSTL and GAD,

spoke with other spy services.

There's guys that fit
that description,

but they're all accounted for.

None have flagged
in Western Europe.

TAC team Omega leader.

Auggie, I've been made.

I've located the target.

I got to go.

August-Sieberstrasse
and Grunebergweg.

Copy.

Target not receptive
to approach.

TAC team Omega leader.

Target lost.

- Deric?
- Hey, Gary.

I didn't know Agency
Special Ops was in on this.

Need to know.

Gary, report.

Gary, report!

Gary!

Status report.

We have
a rapidly escalating situation.

Gary Probert,
our exfil team point-man,

has been found shot dead
in Frankfurt central.

He'd been in pursuit
of operative Walker.

We've changed operative Walker's
classification.

She's now to be treated
as a rogue operative.

Our exfil team
has been instructed

to assume a tactical approach.

For now that's all.

Annie a rogue operative?
Are you kidding?

I suggest you check
that tone, Anderson.

You are jumping to conclusions
and abandoning one of our own

just when she needs us most.

We don't even know
Annie's side of the story.

That's because she's
not telling us

her side of the story.

Miss Walker's behavior
has been baffling.

She's breaking rules
and running from our help

and apparently gunning down
one of her fellow operatives,

and the only question is why?

What the hell
is he doing here?

Senator Pierson
talked to the DCI.

She felt
Henry's intimate knowledge

of the events in Copenhagen
would be an advantage,

so we brought him on
as a green badge.

Lexington Global Consulting.

- I want him gone.
- This isn't your DPD, Auggie.

This is insane.

Henry is the reason
that we're in this.

- How so?
- If you're talking

about my knowledge
of Arthur Campbell

and his terrorist son
Teo Braga

before the events in Copenhagen,
then, yes,

I did have a file
which said as much,

which I handed to Annie.

You played her.

No.
No.

She was the one playing me.

I listened to her counsel,

and I offered her
a job in my firm.

Well, I never
in my wildest dreams

would have thought her capable
of treason.

I mistook her
for a patriot.

Auggie!
Security!

How's it feel?

Let him go, or the SPOs
will shoot you down right now.

You're done.

Get him out of here.
Go!

Get him out!

Are you okay?
Yeah. Mmhmm.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.
He's just--

he's just a kid.
He has to cool down.

Listen up.

Frankfurt polizei
just got eyes on her.

They're directing all cars.

We are getting
to Walker first.

Let's go. Let's go.

Go!

She's two blocks away.
Let's push it.

Go, go, go, go!

Stop!

Go! Go right here.
Go right here!

Go, go!

Hey!

Hey! Easy, easy!

Joan, how you feeling?

- I'm about as good as I look.
- Well, you look fantastic.

Listen, I don't want to cause

you any more undue stress, but
Henry's back in the building,

and on a more personal note,
they booted me out too.

I kind of went ballistic
on Henry.

Did you?

Good for you.
Yeah, we'll see.

In what capacity could Henry
possibly be in the CIA?

Officially?
Consulting on Annie's situation,

per the recommendation
of Senator Pierson.

Unofficially, making
Annie's life miserable.

Okay, we got to work
this problem together.

Does she have anything

on the 36 hours
Henry was in Frankfurt?

Henry visited a fancy
restaurant and met briefly

with a middle-aged woman.

- Mm-hmm?
- These are security captures

of all the women
who came in and out

of that restaurant
that night.

Right.

Well, this is her.
You sure?

That was fast.
I am sure

because that is
Jai's mom Sana.

What's she doing
in Frankfurt?

She works for a company
that does a lot of business

on the European exchange.

So what is Henry doing
meeting with his ex-wife

the night before a terrorist
attack he perpetrated?

Do you think
she was involved?

Maybe.
Maybe not.

Auggie, you need to get
one of your NSA buddies to tag

phone locator records for,
so we can get a call history.

Okay.
I'll do it, but, Joan?

The doctor said--
I know what the doctor said.

The doctor said,
"don't go into my office,"

not turn off my brain,

and Annie needs us, right?
She does.

Okay, so why
are you still here?

Auggie, report in.

We might both be fired,
but you still work for me.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Well, you're getting crafty.

Your phone
has a Hamburg axis-router.

Yeah. I pinched it
off an eight year-old

getting off a tourist bus.

She was too young to have
a cell phone anyway.

Listen,
we don't have a lot of time.

In a nutshell,
Henry has Braithwaite's ear

inside Langley,
and I'm out of the building.

- That's a big nutshell.
- It gets bigger.

The woman Henry was meeting with
was his ex-wife Sana.

Travel records verify it.

Her company has a seat
on the exchange

in the Commerzbank building.

I thought they divorced
years ago.

Yeah, well, maybe once
you really love someone,

those bonds
never go away.

You think that's true?

What do you mean,
we don't have much time?

Annie, there's a CIA operative
down in Frankfurt.

He came with a team led
by Calder, who's on the ground.

Down?
Who do they thi--

they think I killed him?

Yeah, but if you
can find Calder,

maybe he can still
get you out.

Uh, no.

I'm gonna find Jai's mom,
and I'm gonna turn her

and use her as leverage
against Henry.

Annie, think this through.

Henry came after all of us
because we didn't protect Jai.

If you go near his ex-wife,
he'll kill you.

Yeah, well, maybe it's time
to give him what he wants.

What do you mean?

I'm gonna take myself
off the game board.

Annie, please don't do this.

You'd be working without
CIA protection, without me.

Henry has taken enough.

He took Arthur, Teo, and us.

It's time to strike back,
and it's time to end this.

Even if this works, you may
not be able to come back, ever.

I know, and there are things I
feel I still want to say to you.

Then come home
and say them.

There's always another way.

Find Calder.

- Calder Michaels.
- We need to talk.

If I give you a location,
will you come alone?

Yes.

Walker?

I need your help.

You repeatedly withheld
information from me,

consorted
with a known terrorist,

and killed one of my men.

I didn't kill anybody.

All right.
Make it quick.

My guys don't hear from me
in five minutes,

they'll be all over your ass.

You know that something
isn't right at Langley,

and Henry Wilcox has something
to do with it.

If you take me in, it will be
the end of my career,

and we will never find out
the truth.

When we first met,
you said we could be

friends, enemies,
or just remain spies

for the same great country.

- That's right.
- I am asking you to make

that decision,
right here, now.

The only way you're leaving
Frankfurt is with me

or in a body bag.

That's what I'm counting on.

Nothing.

She got away.

She dropped this, though.

Security key for Commerzbank.

It's down there.
We got this.

That Commerzbank tower
is the seat

of the European futures
exchange.

Walker may be planning
an even more serious attack.

Agreed.

Calder, take up strategic
position around the building.

Use deadly force
if necessary.

Understood.

Okay, so they told us to do
what we were gonna do anyway.

Let's move out.

"Dear Danielle,

"I know we haven't had a chance
to talk in a while.

"We may not get a chance
to speak again,

"so I'm asking you to think
about the times

"when dad had us look
for the evening star, Venus,

"when it appeared in the west
just after sunset.

"No matter where we lived all
over the world, there was Venus.

"It was our star.

"Now I'm asking you
to think of me

"whenever you see Venus
in the sky.

"No matter where you are,

"I'll be there.

I love you, Danielle."

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, we have a visual
at the Commerzbank tower.

Eurex mainframe
is on the 32nd floor.

That's got to be her target.

She could do the most damage
if she takes that out.

Alert your team.

TAC team Omega leader.

Target has entered the building.

32nd floor presumed target.

Team leader
positioned on 32nd floor.

I have tactical advantage

and men on bracketing floors

in case the target
throws a curve.

She's in the middle elevator
on the western bank.

Roger.
Going radio silent.

Come on, come on.

No, Annie.

- International caller--
- Not this phone.

She's called Auggie Anderson's
personal cell.

Give us audio
from the tap on Anderson.

Annie,
you don't have to do this.

I'm sorry, Auggie.

This is Henry Wilcox's fault,
not yours.

He knows we're onto her.

I should never have read you
in that morning in bed.

I should have just said
I love you.

I love you too.
Come home.

- I can't.
- Annie.

It's too late
for heart-to-hearts.

- No, Annie--
- Good-bye, Auggie.

Annie!

Annie!

Annie!

Operative Walker is dead.

I repeat,
Annie Walker is dead.

It had to be done.

You look terrible.

I feel terrible.

Here.
Drink this.

We're here alone.

It worked?

After all the times we've had,
how could you have any doubt?

I never had any doubt.

I trust you with my life.

Clearly.

It worked.

So you got a change
of clothes, money, a temp I.D.

until you cement the new one,
and a Pesek Zman.

A what?

It's Israeli chocolate.

Oh.

And this is the Mossad file
for Sana Wilcox.

Mossad?
I thought you quit the Mossad.

Why would you ever think that,
neshama?

I bet you never even got
on a boat, did you?

I didn't even get
out of Europe.

Mossad's not very big
on vacations.

So is this really the end
of Annie Walker?

Yes.

Then it gives me great
pleasure to be the last one

to ever tell you this.

You're an amazing woman,
Annie.

I can't thank you enough.

Thank me next time.
Whoever you'll be.

Go.

Good-bye, Annie.
