Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 4, Episode 12 - Something Against You - full transcript

Previously on
Covert Affairs...

The D.C.I.'s asked me
to start a file on you,

Helen's been our cutout,
passing messages between us.

I pulled her in more fully
into Henry's situation

about a week ago.

Director Campbell,
it's an honor to have you.

I'm actually not a director
anymore.

Is one of you guys Reese?

I'm just next door.

I collect the rent,

fix broken toilets
for the landlords,



so he gives me a break.

I'm Sana.

I lost my son, Jai.

Jai was my friend.
I lost him too.

And I think you are smart enough
to help me take Henry down.

Ah, Andrew Goodman.

Bienvenue.
Welcome.

[Grunts]

Henry ordered that helicopter
shot down,

and you were the one
that fired the missile.

That's not even a question.

[Groans]

What are you planning on doing
to David Dupres?

Tell her.



Tell her what he's gonna do
to David!

Sana!

[Glass shattering]

Oh!

[Gunshot]

Why are we stopping here?

I could use a drink.

You?

[Sighs]

Can I have a shot of Patron?

What do you want?

Nothing.
I don't want a drink.

Make it two, and can you
charge it to the room?

It's under the name Goodman.

You want to know
what we're doing here?

[Cell phone chimes]

Henry's been texting Andrew
every half hour

asking for a progress report.

So?

So this
is Andrew Goodman's hotel.

It's the best place
to figure out

how to answer those texts.

What about the dead body
we left in your apartment?

Somebody will have heard
the gunshots.

They're going to find the body.

It's only a matter of when.

That means the police
are gonna be after us,

if they're not already,
as soon as they I.D. it.

It's hard to I.D. a body
with no I.D.

I doubt his name
was even Goodman.

He's a professional ghost.

I'm counting on the fact
that he was good at his job.

Andrew Goodman
will be a John Doe

at least for a little while.

Hopefully, that'll give us
enough time.

Enough time for what?

Counterstrike.

Henry doesn't know
his guy is dead,

so maybe for
the first time ever,

I know something he doesn't.

Drink up.

We're gonna go see what
Andrew Goodman left behind.

Room 425.

You really have no idea
what you're doing, do you?

You stormed
into my interrogation

because you were so desperate
to find out

what Andrew was planning
for David.

Well, Andrew is dead.

The answers are here.

They have to be.

[Thumping]

Turn on the TV loud.

Where are you going?

[TV playing indistinctly]

Louder.

Louder.

[Announcer speaking French
over TV]

[Cheers and applause
over TV]

[Banging]

[Pounding at door]

[Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

Turn it off.

[TV clicks off]

[Beeping]

[Electronic chirping]

Bingo.

I need to decrypt
this password

and find a safe place
to read the drive,

and that's gonna take time--

time that you don't have
right now.

'Cause David's wondering
where I am.

Go home and put him at ease.

Lie to him?

Go through the story again.

I need to hear you say it.

I have lied before.

Say it again.

Go.

When you followed Andrew
out of the meeting,

you were distraught
you'd blown the deal.

We grabbed a drink at a hotel.

I calmed you down,
which took longer

than either of us expected.

You'll be back into work
in the morning, pride bruised,

ready to make it up to David.

Good.

Go home
and try to get some sleep.

Sleep isn't on the cards.

We tortured a man.

You shot him.

He's dead.

It doesn't affect you?

I don't have time.

We don't have time.

You want to protect David?

We have to move fast,
and I need you to trust me.

Trust you?

You think a tough exterior
is going to cover the fact

that you have no idea
how to handle Henry?

I was married to him
for 11 years

and his asset before that.

He's better at this than you.

Go home, Sana.

Your man
still sleeping it off?

No.
Not exactly.

Can I--can we talk?

Just a second.

He's dead.

Dead?

We got in a fight.
It got rough.

I had to defend myself.

Sounds like it serves
the asshole right.

This'll calm you down.

No, thanks.
I can't.

I have to figure out
what to do.

I'm in some serious shit,

and I don't have anyone
who's gonna help me.

You've been through this before,
right?

You said your stepdad
hit your mom?

Yeah, yeah,
and I hated the prick for it,

but I've never killed him.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't--I shouldn't have
thought--

Wait, wait.
What do you need?

Pretend like you don't know
where I am,

like, I haven't been here
for days.

You don't know where I went.

Like, you have no idea
who this guy is.

Buy me some time.

This is the building manager.

Please, Reese.

Yeah?

Wait, what?

Okay, okay.

I'll run over.
I'll see you soon.

They found the body.

What are you gonna tell 'em?

You weren't there.

You left days ago,
and I don't know

where to find you,
all right?

[Knocking at door]

Who is it?

It's me.

What do you want, Helen?

I have to be careful
where I'm seen.

Can I please come in?

It was your decision
to become a ghost.

Don't expect me to help you
keep up that lie.

I don't.

The Campbells have asked for
my help with Arthur's defense.

Oh, you're a lawyer now?

I know you must be
in a lot of pain,

and I am deeply sorry
about Annie,

but I need to know everything
that happened between

her and Henry in Copenhagen

if I'm gonna find any evidence
to tie him to the attack

and exonerate Arthur.

Okay, you and I don't talk
about Annie ever.

Understand?

I understand what you must
be going through.

Bullshit.

I think you're here
because Annie's gone.

Did Arthur and Joan
even ask for your help,

or did you offer it

trying to clean your slate
across the board?

You're right.

I have so much to make up for.

It's too late.

I don't ever expect you
to forgive me,

but I need you to know
I never stopped being your wife,

not for one moment
in seven years,

and the longer it went on,
the more I realized

what a mistake I had made,
but I couldn't take it back.

What? You think
you can take it back now?

- I'm still your wife, Auggie.
- Really?

Because the last time
you were here,

you made it very clear
that's not the case.

You have not been my wife

since the second
you became somebody else

other than Helen Hansen.

I don't know who you are.

I am still the same person.

Well, I'm not.

I watched you die.

Do you have any idea how long
it took me to get over that?

And it was all a lie.

I understand, and I hope
under all that hurt and anger,

you will too someday.

We loved each other, Auggie.

It was a long time ago,
just like you said.

I can't change what I did,

but I can help all of you
against Henry--

make him pay
for what he's done.

He's the real enemy,
isn't he?

[Sniffles]

This is the necklace
you gave me in Rome.

I never stopped wearing it.

Maybe it's time you did.

I'll let you know
what I find out about Henry.

Have they I.D.'d the body yet?

I don't know.

Is David still with you?

He went to the gym.

Did you find anything
on the laptop?

No, the laptop
was safeguarded--

professional grade.

It's gonna need
brute-force decryption.

Can you do that?

No, but there was something on
the flash drive.

Something?

Files.

Files?

Tell me--what's Henry's plan?
What are the files for?

To set David up.

To make it look like he knew
about the attack in Copenhagen--

like he profited from it,

that he had inside knowledge.

David had nothing to do
with that.

I know, but Henry wants it
to look that way.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm working on a plan
as we speak.

[Cell phone chimes]

[Sighs]

Jessica?

David.
Hi.

Good morning.

You're in early.

Yeah, I was just working.

Let's talk about
what happened yesterday.

I'm so sorry.

Um, what did Sana say?

She tried to calm you down.

I was so angry at you,

but then she made me realize
that what happened yesterday

was Goodman's fault,
not yours.

She's the saucer to my teacup.

She is a remarkable woman.

You know what?

I'm going to call Goodman today
to read him the riot act.

I've been waiting over a week
for a new hard drive, okay?

If, if, if--
Auggie, sorry, man.

Just give me one second.

If I could buy one
and bring it in,

you know I would do that,
okay?

Barber.

Never mind.
I got it.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
thank you so much.

It's good to have friends
in low places.

Oh, man, is this what
they have you doing now?

No, it's a special delivery.

Where were you last night?

I thought you were gonna finally
come out to Allen's, man.

It's been way too long
since you came out.

Yeah, I--I got caught up.

Hey, what's with all these
background checks?

There is an increasingly thick
cloud of paranoia going around.

You know,
I thought it was just me.

It's not.

They're adding servers
to hold extra data,

and I heard Braithwaite
opened a blue file

on Henry Wilcox.

Really?

Huh.

I thought Wilcox had Braithwaite
in his pocket.

I did too.

[Chuckles]

Hey, keep that one
under your hat, all right?

Yeah,
it's under the hat, man.

It's under the hat.

[Whispering]
Hey, Tommy.

Tommy.

How'd it go with patient zero?

One wedge between Henry
and Braithwaite coming up.

It still amazes me
how bad a building full of spies

is at keeping a secret.

When will we know
this is working?

When Henry wants to talk
to you instead of Braithwaite.

Let me know
when he reaches out.

Yeah.

Who are those people?

They said
they're with Interpol.

[Speaking French]

- David?
- Interpol--

they're bringing me down
to their offices

for questioning
about some files on my computer.

About what?

They think
I had something to do

with the helicopter
going down in Copenhagen.

[Sighs]

It's just a misunderstanding.

Call Colin's firm.

Tell him to meet me
at the Interpol office.

Of course.

Everybody, back to work.

It'll be fine.

Jessica...

Jessica.

Everything you said happened.

They came after David.

How did Henry do it?

How did he get the files
on David's computer?

Henry didn't do it.

I did.

I loaded the files
this morning.

You had Interpol
drag my fiance away?

No.
Henry must have called Interpol.

It's the next logical phase
in his plan.

Sana, as soon as Henry realizes
Andrew Goodman is dead,

there is nothing else
we can do.

He expected Andrew
to plant that intel,

so I did it.

It's a calculated risk,

but David will be fine as soon
as the real truth emerges.

You said
you were working on a plan.

I figured we'd discuss it
before you acted.

You said you had a hard time
lying to David,

so I prevented you
from having to do that again.

How lofty.

So you did this for me?

I am trying to prove

that Henry is the architect
of the Copenhagen attacks.

We are following the money.

Finding out how Henry
moves his cash is the first step

into getting David free,
and I have a way we can do that.

David was already free.

Henry is the reason
your son is dead.

Explain that.

I was there
when the bomb went off.

Jai and I had met at a diner.

I was supposed to be in the car
with him,

but I forgot my umbrella.

That's when it happened.

And Henry did this?

What did he tell you?

He said it was
Arthur Campbell's fault,

that soon the world
would know the truth.

And he was angry.

It wasn't anger.

It was guilt.

The man who set the bomb
was a former operative

that Henry
had turned his back on.

Henry has been projecting
his guilt about Jai's death

onto everyone around him...

Destroying lives.

He is not gonna stop
until someone stops him.

Let's stop him.

[Sighs]

What do you want me to do?

We're gonna need
somewhere more private.

There's an empty office space
upstairs.

I think that's a better cigar,
so I'll take 20 of those.

Politics are a funny game.

Perhaps if we'd treated Fidel
a bit differently,

we could be shopping
for the good stuff.

Henry, I--I didn't know
you were a cigar man.

I have many vices.

What's this I hear about
you opening a blue file on me?

Where'd you hear that?

- So it's true?
- Not, it's not.

It's--no.

Look, whoever told you that
is mistaken.

If you want
what Castro smokes,

talk to Arturo
in the back room.

Tell him I sent you.

But honestly, I think
they're too strong for you.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello, Sana.

What a surprise.

So good to hear from you.

I hope I haven't caught you
at a bad time.

It's always a good time
to hear your voice,

though, I'm hearing
something in it.

Is everything all right?

I've been thinking about
what you said in Frankfurt--

what you said about David.

What did he do?

He's in trouble.

Henry, I'd really rather not
do this on the phone.

Can you come to Geneva?

Of course.

I can get on the next plane out.

Thank you, Henry.

I meant what I said
in Frankfurt.

I'd do anything for you.

See you soon.

So he's coming to Geneva.

What now?

We'll reconvene in the morning
before you sit down with Henry.

And do the thing I vowed
I'd never do again.

He's coming to Geneva
for you.

You're in control.

My fiance's in custody,
and I'm taking orders from you.

Forgive me
for not feeling in control.

Auggie.

Joan.

What are you doing
down here in I.T.?

I...

I saw you talking
to Calder.

Yeah, we work
for the same agency.

It couldn't be helped.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

I mean, Calder killed Annie.

I'm stunned you'd even be
acknowledging him.

Now, if you tell me
you've been keeping tabs on him

or investigating him,
I would understand.

I can't talk about it.

Can't or won't?

I can't.
I won't.

This isn't like you.

What about you?

What about me?

You and Arthur hired Helen.

Yes.
She's following Henry to Geneva.

She's going to Geneva?

We thought she might be able

to shed some light
on Henry's finances.

Auggie, I am working in a box,
pushing papers.

You're down here.

We have both lost so much.

I'm not gonna apologize
for doing everything in my power

to defend my husband.

I'm not asking you
to apologize.

It is just you and me.

We're all that's left.

We both need to remember that.

When are you seeing Henry?

Half an hour.
Cafe Geneve.

It's near the Hotel Dorciere
where he's staying.

45 minutes.

Let's make him wait.

Henry hates waiting.

Exactly.

You may think
that'll soften him up,

but it's not the right move.

[Cell phone ringing]

That's me calling.

Answer it
and leave the connection open.

Then I can listen
during the meet.

Let's test it.

Henry hates waiting.

We want him on the tilt.

When you sit down, tell him
everything he wants to hear--

that you're worried
about David.

You're in distress.

You mean the truth.

You only have to talk to him
for a little while.

Then I'm gonna throw a wrench
into Henry's world,

and you can leave
right after that.

Where are you gonna be?

I have some related things
I need to take care of.

When I was Henry's asset,

he wouldn't let me
out of his sight

when there was a meet.

They call that infatuation.

I call that
being a great handler.

The man was inclusive
and reassuring--

everything you're not.

We'd go over a scenario
until he knew I felt safe.

He had the luxury of time

and the full backing
of the CIA.

We don't have that.

I don't have that anymore.

This is the best plan, Sana.

You need to trust me.

Can we agree
not to use that word again?

It's much too late for trust.

Sana.

I'm sorry I'm late.

That's quite all right.

They were just playing
some Debussy in the cafe here.

Clair de lune?

Yes.
I figured it was a sign.

Or you planned it.

Nah, if I'd have planned it,
they'd still be playing.

[Laughs]

Sit down.

Don't you worry.

Listen to me, Sana.

I already have men
looking into David.

Did you see any of this
happening?

Did you look into him after
what I told you in Frankfurt?

No, I should have.

David's always been
very private.

I can help you.

I can help David.

I can keep you safe.
Safe...

Tell me everything
that's happened,

anything out of the ordinary.

Out of the ordinary?

David's behavior?

Um, new visitors to the office?

Strange interactions?

No, I--I don't know.
It's--

Tell me, Sana.

I need to know everything.

It's this whole situation.

I just can't believe David

would be involved
in something like this.

[Beeping]

I'll help get you
through this.

I will always help you.

I've been thinking about Jai,
I've been thinking about us.

Trying to get my life back.

Going back to the Agency?

My new company
is doing the Agency one better.

When all is said and done,
Lexington will make the CIA

look even more out of touch
than it already is.

[Electronic beeping]

Excuse me.

Put this away.

[Beep]

Everything okay?

Fine.

If you have something
to take care of,

we can meet later.

No, no--

[electronic beeping]

[Beep]

- I should get going.
- Sana--

It's okay.
It's okay.

Let's speak soon.

Yes.

Thank you, Henry.

You're welcome.

[Sighs]

[Cell phone chiming]

[Cell phone chirps]

[Beep]

[Beeping]

He's still in love with you.

He wants you back.

I heard it in his voice,

and he will do anything
to make that happen,

including paying off Andrew.

Once he wires the money,
we can track the flow

and find out
who he's working with,

and it links him
to our red-haired friend.

This feels speculative.

It's just breadcrumbs.

It's always just breadcrumbs
until it becomes something more.

You know that.

[Cell phone ringing]

Henry.

We're getting a rise
out of him.

[Loud beep]

So what the hell
are you doing?

You realize I--I put you
into this game we play,

and I can pluck you out.

I'm sure you wouldn't
want anything

to happen to Violet,
would you?

[Loud beep]

Do you know who Violet is?

No.

[Beeping]

[Glass shatters]

[Cell phone chimes]

We've got him.

[Cell phone chirps]

This is gonna work, Sana.

The clock's ticking.

Is the receiving account
all set?

I fabricated a dummy account
for Goodman

through F.I.N.M.A.,
put the necessary e-tags on it.

Once he transfers the money,

we can locate the origin
electronically.

Your breadcrumb.

Yeah.

All this for a breadcrumb.

What's it gonna take
to get the whole bakery?

Nelson, this is me.

I'm--I'm in a bit of a bind.

You're calling me directly?

I need $3 million,
untraceable, fast-tracked.

Okay, all right.

Define "fast-track."

Three hours.

Where are you?

Geneva.

You're in Gen--

look, I can't bend the laws
of space and time--

I've done enough business
with you to warrant this favor.

I'll do my best.

Thank you, Nelson.

All right, no more meeting
inside the building.

We have to continue
to talk like this.

Yeah.

Henry's office called me
today.

He wants to sit down in two days
when he's back in town...

without Braithwaite.

Henry's in Geneva.

How do you know that?

It's complicated.

That's not an answer.

Are you in touch with Annie?

Absolutely not.

But you want to reach out now,
don't you?

Absolutely not.

That'd put her at risk.

Annie's gonna have to live
through this mission by herself.

Remember that.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah?

I found somebody
who can accommodate your needs.

I just need to know
where to send the funds.

Excellent.

I'll email you the receivable
account details shortly.

[Cell phone ringing]

What do you got for me?

I found
what you were looking for.

Where's
my blackmailing friend?

He's dead.

They have him at the morgue
at the Rue de Montbrillant.

He was found
in a woman's apartment.

We're checking it out.

How long has he been dead?

Hard to say exactly.

They've had him
at least one day, though.

It's 4:00.

Henry's out of time.

Did the money transfer
go through?

No.

Then it didn't work.

Henry's always on time.

I told you that.

What happens now?

What happens to David?

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Jess, we need to talk
right away.

There's a problem.

[Mouthing words]

[Grunts]

[Man shouting in French]

[Lively rock music]

♪

[Tires squeal]

♪

[Cell phone chiming]

[Cell phone chirps]

[Knocking at door]

One of those for me?

Decaf for
the baby coffee-drinker in you.

Thank you.

Nice office.

There's a chair to your left.

You know,
I've been thinking.

You were right.

We are it in this building,
and we should share intel.

So you want to know
if Helen found anything?

Oh, the thought had crossed
my mind.

I thought this was
a peace offering,

but it's a bribe.

It's a latte.

I haven't heard from Helen.

I expected her back by now,

but she hasn't reached out.

Hmm.

Now you.

Me what?

Better give me some intel,

or I'm gonna think
you're withholding.

I hear Braithwaite's
on the outs with Henry.

That's interesting.

That syncs up with the rumor

that's been going
around the building

that Braithwaite opened
an investigation into Henry,

his company,
and all of his holdings

since he left prison.

You didn't have anything
to do with that, did you?

You know who would have
appreciated a move like that?

Annie.

Any good spy would have
appreciated a move like that.

Yeah, but it's Annie
we're mourning,

and I still want to know
why you were talking to Calder.

[Door clicks open]

Sana?

Another difference
between you and Henry--

he'd give me
reassuring phone calls.

You just leave me to wait--

I'm compromised.

I have to leave Geneva.

We need to set up protocols
for what to do next.

No, David's bond hearing
is set for tomorrow.

I will get you
some burner phones--

[muffled clattering]

Hello, Sana.

I've been looking for you.

Nice space.

Your secretary said
you've been coming up here a lot

the past few days.

Anyone else up here with you?

No, it's just me.

Have you heard anything
about David?

Were you able to speak to any
of your friends at Interpol?

They're working on it.

I'll have more concrete answers
for you soon.

I still don't understand
what happened.

Sana, I don't mean this
to sound cold, but...

What is it?

Have you completely discounted
the possibility

that he may be guilty?

We never know people
as well as we think we do...

Even those we love.

Why do I feel like

we're not talking about David
anymore?

There was a brief moment
yesterday

where things felt right
between us,

sitting together at lunch
like old times.

Right after our song
had just played,

I had hope for us again.

There was a sparkle
in your eyes,

but that sparkle
wasn't love.

It was betrayal.

You betrayed me.

You're scaring me, Henry.

You're all mixed up,
not sure who to trust.

Seems this...

[Hammer banging]

Jessica Matthews
has been a bad influence.

She pulled you in,

convinced you
to help her blackmail me.

Where is she, Sana?

I don't know.

I'll find her.

You know I will.

The authorities are looking
for an Indian woman

in connection with
the death of Andrew Goodman.

Someone saw you
in that apartment.

Is that a threat
or more blackmail?

There are only two options
with you.

You know me that well.

Fine.
It's a threat.

David will never get out
of this mess with Interpol.

I'll see to that.

I loved you, Sana,
with all my heart.

Everything I've done
has been for you and Jai.

Don't use us as a way
to justify your evil deeds.

You're a monster, Henry.

Own it.

Fine.

I'm going to find
Jessica Matthews and kill her.

[Door slams]

Are you okay?

Did you hear him?

He's gonna kill you.

Leave now.

There's still a way
out of this for you and David.

Don't act like
you care about us.

You used us
every step of the way.

You scorched the earth,
just like Henry.

Sana, I'm sorry
about all of this,

but we can't stop fighting.

We still have
Goodman's computer.

We still have moves to make.

We?

All I've seen is you,
your agenda.

You don't seem to be a person
that cares about anyone else.

I care about everyone
I am fighting for,

including you.

and perhaps you have.

You're a monster too,
Jessica.

- Sana--
- No, get out of here.

Now.
