Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 4, Episode 13 - No. 13 Baby - full transcript

Previously
on Covert Affairs...

I don't ever expect you
to forgive me.

It's too late.

You and Arthur hired Helen.

She's following Henry
to Geneva.

We thought she might be able
to shed some light

on Henry's finances.

Henry took a dozen trips

out to a patch of park land
in Virginia.

Camp Hillcrest?

This is where Henry took Jai
camping as a boy.



- Your name?
- Jessica Matthews.

I'm sure you wouldn't want
anything to happen

to Violet, would you?
Do you know who Violet is?

- No.
- My name is Andrew Goodman.

Henry ordered that helicopter
shot down,

and you were the one
that fired the missile.

- I'll kill you myself!
- Donna. Donna!

I'm gonna find
Jessica Matthews and kill her.

It is 5:30
in the morning.

Who is it?
Auggie, It's Helen.

We need to talk.

I thought I made things
pretty clear

the last time
that we talked.

I just got back
from Geneva.



Yeah, Joan told me.
You were tracking Henry.

You just got back now?

Yesterday, but I couldn't
exactly see you at work.

Well, what'd you find?

There was another operative
besides me following Henry.

Annie.

She's alive.

I thought
about not telling you,

but I don't want to lie to you
anymore about anything.

No. You did the right thing.

Did you speak with her?

She didn't see me,
but she was fine.

You knew she was alive,
didn't you?

Yeah, I did.

Even when I came here
to tell you I wanted you back?

You know I couldn't
tell you.

No, you're right.

But it doesn't change
how I feel about you, Auggie.

Why don't you tell me
what else you found in Geneva?

So you're telling me
three-year hotel surveillance,

you overheard Henry talking
to his money guy Nelson?

I only heard Henry's side.

But he needed Nelson
to get him $3 million.

Henry sounded rattled.

Annie's pushing
his buttons.

How do you know?

Because that's what
she went dark to do.

And when Annie puts her mind
to something,

there's no stopping her.

I'm gonna go.

What are you gonna
tell Joan?

Nothing about Annie.

If there is anyone
who can relate

to what she's going through,
it's me.

And I know things are
complicated.

I'm here if you want
to talk.

I'm afraid this
couldn't wait, Mr. Michaels.

When you go in to work,
you'll hear about the death

of one of our own--

Deric Hughes.

- I don't know the name.
- You shouldn't.

Hughes was an extremely
deep cover CIA operative.

Reported directly to D.C.I.

His missions were completely
off book.

His star will not have a name
next to it for a long time.

What happened to him?

A few days ago, he was
brutally murdered in Geneva.

Hughes's killer is
still at large,

but my friends in Geneva
have already identified

a person of interest--
a woman.

Her name is Jessica Matthews.
Have you heard of her?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Name's likely an alias.

So what are you asking me
to do?

I want you to let me know
when you find her.

I'm gonna need more than that
if I'm gonna give you access

to an internal agency
investigation.

Eric Braithwaite's proving
he's not the man

for the D.C.S. job.

I'd be surprised if he lasts
till the end of the month.

There's going to be
a vacuum.

Maybe you and I
can fill it together.

There's a lot of ghosts
in here.

It's nice to not be
the only one.

Ghosts are supposed
to be invisible, remember?

We gotta show our face
sometime.

Reaching out like this,
puts us both at a big risk.

I'm assuming you have
the evidence

to take down Henry Wilcox--
am I right?

This belonged to the man
who shot down the helicopter

in Copenhagen.

He worked for Henry.
His name was Andrew Goodman.

His name was
Andrew Goodman?

He I.D.'d me in Geneva.
I was supposed to kill him.

So I'm guessing
you're Jessica Matthews.

That was my cover.

Well, Henry just told me
about a woman of the same name

killing a man in Geneva.

So you two are buddies now?

I killed you, remember?

It gave me the opportunity
to get close to him.

Careful, you are dancing
with the devil.

I like to dance.

But it's Jessica Matthews
who needs to be careful.

Henry wants me
to find her.

He also gave me
Goodman's real name.

It's Deric Hughes.

He was a CIA
deep-cover op.

That's why Auggie and I
could never I.D. him.

Okay, I'm gonna get this
to Auggie

and have him dig through it
right away.

Or have you reached out
to him already?

No. Reaching out to him
puts him at risk.

So you're worried about his
life, but not mine, huh?

I told myself I'd never
reach out to Auggie

when I went dark.

You need to leave town today.

I know what I'm doing.

So you changed your hair.

Changed your modus operandi.
Okay.

But if Henry Wilcox
puts together

that Jessica Matthews
is really Annie Walker,

he's gonna know that I lied
to him about killing you,

and try to put a bullet
in both of our heads.

Auggie.

Calder, you driving
the company shuttle today?

Get in.

I need you to run
all the data recovery programs

you have on this thing.
Take it apart.

Find anything that connects
to Henry Wilcox.

- Where'd you get this?
- Geneva station.

CIA Geneva station?

CIA Geneva station chief
sent it over this morning.

It belonged to a deep cover op
named Deric Hughes.

I discovered he has
close ties with Henry.

You can't analyze it
at Langley.

Take it home.

Back from Geneva already?

I go where
Henry Wilcox goes.

I knew Sana
had to be involved.

It's all in the report.

Including the transcripts
of two phone calls

Henry had with a money man
named Nelson.

Good work.

We gave you a tall order,
and you delivered.

I am good at what I do.

- Yes, you are.
- I want back in.

I want back into Langley.

Look, I know that
this is difficult for you.

I know how much
you've sacrificed.

But now is not the time.

Mission first.

Man, there's a lot
of stuff here.

What are we looking for?
Any file or deleted file

that mentions Copenhagen
or Medellin.

Copenhagen and Medellin.

Hold on, I got something.

It's an embedded email
to Henry Wilcox.

It's encoded.

Okay, well, let's decode
this rascal.

I'm gonna upload
some decryption packages.

No, it's a one-time pad.
We need the cipher.

Old school, huh?

Any idea what they'd use
as a key?

They're often books, but that
doesn't narrow it down much.

No, not much at all.

Look, we need this key.

This is a direct communication
from Henry Wilcox

to one of his top lieutenants.

This is the best lead we've had
in a long time.

We have to know
what's in this message.

Yep. Okay, man.

We'll figure it out.
Don't worry.

If it's any consolation, man,

I just found
something else here.

Looks like a contact list.

Most of the names are
still jumbled,

but dollars to doughnuts

I can rebuild it
with a little elbow grease.

I got your message.
You wanted to talk.

I found the last name
of your guy Nelson.

His last name is Smith.

But we know he's in New York

based on a partial
phone number.

- How'd you find it?
- Got it off the laptop

of Henry's man in Geneva,
Deric Hughes.

From Annie?

I think so.

The laptop had
a coded message on it.

Annie might know how to find
the source key,

and I think she's in D.C.

We need to find her.

So you haven't seen Annie?

No.

I think she can help us
with this.

I'll find Annie for you.

If that's what you want me
to do.

Follow Calder.

He'll lead you to her
if she's still in town.

And then what?

And then I want
to talk to her.

Okay.

Hey, Helen.

Thanks for doing this.

I know it isn't easy
for you.

You're welcome.

Violet Hughes?

- Yeah.
- I'm Susan Chandler

with Preferred Life America.

Our condolences
for your father.

My father?

Deric Hughes.

He had a life insurance policy
with us

that named you
as the sole beneficiary.

Yeah, I don't--I don't know
anything about that.

And I'm late to class,
so I'm just going to--

The policy is worth
half a million dollars.

Violet, when was the last time
you spoke with your father?

It's been a while.

Did he tell you
about the policy,

or did you guys--

Just leave me alone, okay?

I am not here to hurt you.

You are hurting me!

You are not from a life
insurance company.

No, I'm not.

Your father gave you
that backpack,

didn't he?

What?

He told you to run
if anyone

ever asked about him.

He wanted to protect you.

I am really not here
to hurt you.

I just need some information
about your father.

What kind of information?

We could start with where
he told you to go

if anything happened to him.

He told me to go to a place
called Hillcrest.

Camp Hillcrest in Virginia?

There's a cabin there.

The guy that owns it
is supposed to help me.

Violet, don't go.

It is safer for you here.

I promise you will never see
me again,

and I will not tell anyone
I saw you.

Just stay here
and live your life.

You understand?

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks, Bianca.

Helen's back from Geneva.

Looks like she's identified
Henry's money man,

a guy named...Nelson.

Judge Sanders denied
our final motion for dismissal.

Trial date has been set
for six weeks from today.

That was fast.

D.O.J. is very confident.

Their case is stronger
than ours.

They have affidavits

specifying Teo's position
in the A.L.C.

They have witnesses who swear
they saw he and Annie

together in Copenhagen.

Henry has been a step ahead
the entire time,

and I can't think of a reason
why it--

We have transcripts

of Henry's phone calls
in Geneva.

We have photographs of him
with his contacts there.

Helen has given us
some very good intel.

What good does that do us

unless we start going
on the record with it?

We need to tell the world
what Henry's done

before this trial starts.

You mean go to the press?

No, no.
I--

I want it to be official.

I want us both to give
new depositions,

and this time,
we hold nothing back.

I have to believe
that if we plant

even a small seed of doubt
in the prosecution's case,

I'll stand a better chance
than I have now.

Arthur, I'm trying
to stay positive.

But sometimes
I lie awake at night

imagining what life
will be like for me and the baby

without you.

And--and I don't like
how it feels.

This is the right move.

I'm convinced of it.

Oh, you want to do this?
Come on, let's go.

Get out of the car!

You're late.

Hit some traffic.

Why are you still in town?

What am I looking at?

A few months ago,

Auggie and I pulled
the G.P.S. data

off Henry Wilcox's car.

It showed him going
to a Camp Hillcrest

in Virginia
at least a dozen times.

He said he took Jai camping
there, which is true,

but he's also been doing
other things there.

Like what?

Like meeting
with Deric Hughes.

Hughes told his daughter
to go there

if anyone
ever came asking,

and I came asking.

Annie, that girl
can I.D. you.

You should have let me
talk to her.

I gave you the laptop

because I needed
a specialist like Auggie

to analyze it,

and I am telling you
about the cabin

because I can't raid it.

The place is secure
as a bank.

But getting intel from someone
like Violet Hughes,

that's something
I do best.

Fine.

I'll check out the cabin,
but it won't be easy.

I think Henry
just had me followed.

Henry tailed you?

Halfway across D.C.

It's too obvious.
It's not his style.

It had to be someone else.

Auggie knows I'm here.

He followed you
to try and find me.

That's a big leap,
because I haven't told him--

just the way
you wanted it.

He knew I was
in Geneva.

He put two and two together
with Deric Hughes's laptop.

Maybe I should have brought
him in directly.

I mean, we found Hillcrest
together.

Would you stop?

You cannot speak to him,
for all the reasons

you told me.

Coming back is harder
than I thought.

Hey.

Auggie's a soldier.

He knows what this is.

Let him go.

Follow your own rules,

and we'll all get
out of this alive.

All right?

Mrs. Campbell,
I'd like to go back

and clarify a few things

regarding your relationship
with Teofilo Braga.

That's fine.

When exactly
did you first learn

that Mr. Braga was your husband,
Arthur Campbell's son?

June 9th
in Arthur's hotel suite.

That's when he told me he had
a son named Teo.

According to a mission report
dated June the 12th,

a CIA black Ops team
raided the A.L.C. stronghold

where Mr. Braga was located.

At that time,
did you give operative Walker

approval to use
extraordinary measures

against him?

Did you sanction Annie Walker

and a CIA black Ops team
to torture Teo Braga

with full knowledge that he
was your husband's son?

Yes or no, Mrs. Campbell?

Yes.

And did your husband know
that you gave these orders?

No, he didn't.

But he will now.

Anderson.

We need to talk.

Over here.

Are we alone?

Yeah, we're good.

This isn't smart.

No, what isn't smart
is you putting

a goddamn tail on me.

Who have you read
in on this?

Why don't you ask
the station chief in Geneva?

You know, the one who gave you
that laptop.

- You know it was Annie.
- Wasn't hard to figure out.

I need to talk to her.

No, you don't.

You gotta be loving this,
Calder,

being the nexus
of information.

But you're preventing the people
who need to talk

from talking.

I'm not preventing anything.

I'm trying to keep feelings
out of this mission.

- I know what a mission is.
- Okay.

And this is not your call.

I know.
It was hers.

What?

She's the one
who didn't want to see you,

she told me.

- You're lying.
- No.

No, I'm trying
to protect you.

Protect me from what?

I need you focused,
Anderson,

or else I'm gonna end up
in a cell

right next to Arthur Campbell,

and I ain't too good
with roommates.

So this is
all about you again.

No, it's about you and her.

Let her go.

You're putting us all
in jeopardy,

Annie most of all.

So it's all on record now.

I can't say that the truth
didn't give me

a few surprises.

I'm sorry you had to find out
this way.

How could you sanction
the torture of my son?

Because I thought
I was preventing

a terrorist attack.

The intel said Teo
had a cache

of bomb-making materials,

and there was a threat
on an American target.

I was doing my job.

What if the torture
led to his death

in that black site?

It would have been
on your hands, Joan.

And I would have felt
terrible.

Absolutely...

Terrible.

Just how I felt
when we really did lose him.

But that wouldn't have made
my decision

the wrong one.

Text message,
number 212-555-0187.

"I need to see you.

Take the 52 Metro bus
to 14th and Harvard."

14th and Harvard Street
northwest.

- Auggie.
- Hey.

Hey.

Look, I--

I couldn't find Annie.

Calder gave me the slip.

Yeah, no, I, uh,
I know.

He told me.

Listen, you shouldn't text me
directly

if you want to stay dark.

Where are you taking me?

Someplace I've been wanting
to show you.

This is where I live.

I mean...

Where Teresa Hamilton lives.

Helen, I shouldn't be here.

It's a risk for your cover.

I don't care.

I don't want
a cover anymore.

I want a life.

I want a home.

And part of what makes a home

is having someone
to show it to.

Okay.

Show me this home.

It's not much.

This is the table
by the kitchen.

Feels like a chair.

Well, here's the table.

Okay, um...

You good?

Hold on.

I promise I'm not gonna fall.

Sorry.

I'm just getting used
to all of this.

That's okay.

Um, low table.

Whoop.

And here is the couch.

Bedroom, bathroom to the left.

What is it?

It smells like you.

Do you want a drink?

The wine--oh, wait.

I want you to know I'm sorry
about Annie.

I know how much
it meant to you,

and I did try.

Calder got her the intel.

That was the important part.

When I told you
our marriage wasn't real,

that it was a cover,
I was lying.

Those are the kind of lies
you need to tell yourself

to survive the way I did.

I'm sorry for all the pain
I caused you.

I truly am.

I'm glad you're here.

In D.C.?

In D.C.

In this place.

I'm glad you're alive.

You don't know what it means
to hear you say that...

to have you close
to me again.

Hey.

Hey.

Sleep okay?

I had a lot on my mind.

Why don't I make coffee?

- Helen--
- Please.

I don't want to have
this conversation like this.

Do you know how much
I wished for this?

You and me together
in the morning,

just drinking coffee.

Yeah, it's not fair for me
to do this to you.

It's not fair for me to try
to make this work.

When you're still in love
with someone else.

What we had in Rome
was real.

I never would have let
last night happen

if it wasn't.

But it's not the same
for you now.

No.

I can't pretend
I didn't know that.

I just wanted
to get us back.

My heart broke for you.

But you did give me the chance
to let someone else in,

and I just want you to have
that same chance.

Incoming call.

Eric Barber.

If he's calling
this time of the day,

it must be important.

You should take it.

Thanks.

Yeah, Barber,
what do you got?

You wanted me to let you know
if Calder made

any sudden moves, right?

Yeah.

Well, here's one.

He's organizing a team
to check out

a fortified cabin

somewhere out in the sticks
first thing this morning.

Someplace called Hillcrest.

How did he find Hillcrest?

That's above my clearance,
man.

All I know is he's leaving
within the hour.

All right, listen.

I need you to get yourself
on that team.

Yeah, done and done.
He needs a tech guy.

Call me immediately
when you get back.

Let me know what you find.

Barber said they found
a cabin at Hillcrest.

Is that important?

Annie and I were out there
four months ago.

I knew we missed something.

She must have found something
this time.

I need to get
back to my apartment.

I gotta scrub
through that laptop data.

Maybe there's a reference
I missed.

Of course.

- Helen--
- Go.

It's the right thing
for both of us.

Jones, Marshall,
circle around the flank.

Rittenhauer, Simms,
disable security.

Barber, behind the trees.

Fall back!

Everybody okay?

Yeah.

I was told Braithwaite
wanted to see me.

He's indisposed.

What were you doing
at Hillcrest,

at my cabin?

I had no idea
it was your cabin.

But you went up there
for a reason.

And you set it to explode
for a reason.

We're lucky no one was killed.

I'm not going to apologize
for defending my property.

- Is that what you call it?
- I want to know

why my cabin in the woods

is of such great interest
to you.

I was following
your suggestion.

You asked me to find
Jessica Matthews.

She led me there.
And where is she now?

I lost her in the woods.

Convenient for both of you.

You might want to check
your security cameras.

If I thought
you were a liar,

you would already be
back in Medellin.

You realize that I wouldn't put
anyone in a job

if I couldn't get them out
swiftly.

I think you know
what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I know
what you're talking about.

What did she look like?

Didn't get a great look.

Caucasian, dark hair.
That's all I saw.

You need to do better
than that.

Find her again.

This time,

don't worry
about bringing her back.

Yes, sir.

What'd you find
at the cabin?

Ashes.

Went off like a bomb.

Henry knows
we're on to him.

If he didn't,
he knows now.

What do you mean?

He knows you
were at the cabin.

- You gave me up?
- I gave Jessica Matthews up.

- Why?
- The truth bought us space.

I told him
Jessica led me there.

You are already here.

Who's in there?

Not you.

And if she's ever exhumed,

we'll both be in trouble.

They'll be digging
two more of these.

We're in this together, Walker.
Never forget that.

What was Henry's reaction
when you told him

Jessica Matthews
was at his cabin?

Shit, never saw him
so angry.

The pressure we're putting
on him is working.

We have to keep it up.

Yeah.

You going to New York
to track down Nelson Smith?

It's better
I don't tell you.

Take this.
No serial number.

You know, I saw the look
in his eye.

It's not a question
of if he finds you.

It's a question of when.

Come out, or I'll shoot
and ask questions later.

It was you following Calder.

I tracked Henry to Geneva
for Joan and Arthur.

I saw you there.

I know
about Jessica Matthews.

Do Joan and Arthur know
I'm alive?

- No.
- Did you tell Auggie

you saw me?

I promised him I'd keep
your secret.

Look at us.
Two ghosts in a graveyard.

Do you have any information
about a cipher?

The one from the computer?

No.

I gave it to Calder
because I can't break it.

Auggie's working on it.
He's very good.

Yeah.

I saw you with him.

Are you here to tell me
I should stay dead?

No.

But you just need to know,
the longer you stay dark,

the harder it gets
to come back.

Thanks.

Auggie's still in love
with you, Annie.

If you have any desire
to be back with him,

don't wait too long.

Run it again.

Anderson, let's do this.

Thanks for telling me
about Hillcrest.

Don't worry.
You didn't miss much.

Cute.

Did you bring the pictures
Annie took

of Henry's cabin?

Got 'em right here.

You see any books in there

on a table or a bookcase or--

- There's a bookshelf.
- Yeah, great.

What's on it?

- Want the titles of the books?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We got Machiavelli's
The Prince,

The Art of War
by Sun Tzu,

Ideas Have Consequences
by Richard Weaver,

uh, "Le Bible,"
a Bible in French,

Graham Greene's
Our Man in Havana--

Wait a minute, why--

why does Henry have
a Bible in French?

Good question.

Vie nouvelle.

- What?
- Hold on.

In the evidence photos

of Deric Hughes's
hotel room,

there was a French Bible
in the nightstand,

but when I saw it, I figured it
was just a Gideons' Bible.

No, we may have just found
the key

to our one-time pad.

I was able to find
the surveillance camera

from the bridge
you were looking for

by Cape Hillcrest,
Mr. Wilcox.

Were you able to isolate
the hours I requested?

Yes, sir.
The link's already up.

Good.

Stop!
Punch in.

Roll forward.

How long is this gonna take?

Look, it'd take
a hell of a lot longer

without that algorithm.

Just let the computer
do its work.

There!

Again, tighter.

We need to find
this motorcycle.

Here we go.

"Stinger secured.

"Need 10 million more
for Copenhagen.

"Old account not viable.

Send new instructions
to receive funds."

This proves Deric Hughes
was involved

in that Copenhagen attack.

Yeah, but how do we prove
Henry's behind it?

Nelson Smith, I hope.

Yeah.

Good work, Auggie.

New York.

Thanks.

Ms. Hansen.
Isn't this a pleasure?

I've been wanting to meet you
ever since I saw photos

of you with Arthur Campbell
and Teo Braga.

You've been doing
Arthur Campbell's dirty work

for him, haven't you?

Long enough to know
you're guilty

for what happened
in Copenhagen,

Medellin, and Geneva.

Long enough to know
you'll never get

your ex-wife, Sana, back.

And long enough to know
how much that destroys you.

I don't know what you're
talking about, Ms. Hansen.

Or do you prefer
Jessica Matthews?

That's right.
I'm Jessica Matthews.

You've found me.

But it doesn't matter, Henry.

What we have on you is enough
to bring--

Shut it down.
Shut everything down.

- Somebody call 911.
- She's dead.

Oh, my gosh.

Who is it?
