Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 4, Episode 14 - River Euphrates - full transcript

Previously
on Covert Affairs...

This is the necklace
you gave me in Rome.

I never stopped wearing it.

I'm glad you're here.

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

Federal Agent Rossabi.

I know that you've been
colluding with Annie Walker.

When I'm done you're gonna
be back in a prison cell.

Did you sanction a CIA black
Ops team to torture Teo Braga

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

- Yes.
- Did your husband know that?



- He will now.
- This belonged to the man

who shot down the helicopter
in Copenhagen.

I was forced to kill him.

Goodman's real name
is Deric Hughes.

I discovered he has close ties
with Henry.

Nelson, this is me.
I need 3 million fast-tracked.

I'll do my best.

You're going to New York
to track down Nelson Smith?

It's better I don't tell you.

- Miss Hanson.
- You found me.

Somebody call 911.

Shut it down.

Shut everything down.

Who is it?



Who's there?

Hello?
Who is it?

Auggie, it's me.

What's wrong?
What is it?

Helen's dead.

I just saw her shot
at the bus terminal.

Helen's--are you sure?

I saw the body myself.

She was, uh--

she was just following Henry.

I know.

I saw him leaving the scene.

I'm pretty sure
he's the one that killed her.

We're gonna get him, Auggie.

Yeah?
How?

I need to find Nelson Smith.

He's the one who's moving
Henry's money.

Helen was looking into him.

- Maybe she had a lead?
- Yeah.

Do you know where
she was staying?

Yeah.

Hey.
Hey, Calder, wait up.

Can it wait six hours?

I gotta finally get some sleep.
I don't think so.

The D.C.S. wants you.

What's going on?

We've got a problem.

You ever heard of a deceased
operative named Helen Hansen?

No.
Why?

Anything Helen found she would
have kept in her head.

Maybe she left
something behind

in case anything happened
to her.

Did she have any tricks?
I mean...

from when you guys were--
Pasta box.

Check the pantry.

I found something.

Yeah?
What is it?

It's in braille.

It's Nelson Smith.

He's a customs official
at I.C.E.

He's in charge of
the port of New York.

I thought Smith was a money guy?

He moves stuff across borders.
Why not cash?

And what's your plan
for approach?

I've dealt with scarier guys
than customs officials.

I'm going to New York.

This is the guy who moves
Henry Wilcox's money.

That's not your typical
customs official.

All I need is proof that
his money paid for Copenhagen.

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

Would you help me gather
her things?

I don't want to leave anything
behind for the cleaners.

Yeah.

You want to get a pillowcase
for her stuff?

Okay.

You seem to know
your way around.

Yeah.

Annie, this is not what
I wanted.

This is not what I want.

You don't have to explain.

I chose this and
I imposed it on you.

I understand.

So, where does this leave us?

@elder_man

How long did it take you
to pick that lock?

About 30 seconds.

Is there another way
out of here?

Get to the fire escape.

You need to take it.
Go.

I'm not gonna leave you here.

You just said
you're not finished.

You can't be seen.
Go.

Hey.

What happened?
Your key get stuck again?

Sorry, man.

I must have the wrong apartment.

Oh, uh--oh, that's okay.
I do it all the time.

Have a good one.

Everything looks good with
the ultrasound.

Now, how much longer until
you go on maternity leave?

I'd like you off your feet
as much as possible.

My due date's the 17th?

Hmm, thereabouts, yes.

What are the chances that
the baby comes early?

It's certainly a possibility.
Well, don't worry.

Even if it happened now,
you'd be fine.

No, but--but what are
the odds?

Is it 20%?
50%?

It doesn't work that way.

Is something the matter?

Arthur's trial starts
that week.

- Joan--
- His first son just passed away

and I really don't want him
to miss

the birth of his second one.

Agent Rossabi.

Are you feeling okay?

The last trimesters are tough,

at least that's what
my sister says.

I'm fine.

Well, that's good to hear.
Um...

I heard about your deposition
at Justice.

Hmm, I didn't realize
I was speaking

to the entire department.

Yeah, well, I was paying
particular attention.

I didn't know you had so much
animus against Henry Wilcox.

That's understated.

Yeah, well my interaction with
him didn't sit right with me.

And that's understated too.

Annie got close to Henry

and that's what
got her killed, right?

You know I can't answer that.

You don't have to.

Hey, look,
I think I found something

that might incriminate
Henry Wilcox,

but I can't take it any further.

What's the lead?

A week ago, we apprehended

a diamond industry consultant
named John Malan.

He was boarding a flight
from JFK to Johannesburg.

Malan was carrying a large
amount of U.S. currency

with peculiar serial numbers,
unaccounted for by Treasury.

I assume it came from
your printing press.

Langley doesn't have
a printing press.

Okay, you know what?

I know that's the company line,
but come on.

What does this have to do
with Henry?

Malan called Lexington from
a nearby diamond wholesaler

an hour before he got to JFK.

And where is he now?

Well, we didn't have enough
on him, so we let him go.

Two days ago,
he showed up dead.

Henry cuts another
loose thread.

Okay, here.

Here's a few of
the serial numbers.

I can't look into it
any further.

Maybe you can.

Ready to go?

Lucas, don't forget
your backpack.

Thanks for meeting.

I was about
to call you anyway.

A Jane Doe was killed
at the bus terminal last night.

She was a deep cover operative.

You talking about
a Helen Hansen?

How do you know her name?

I was called in to manage
the situation for the Agency.

What does that mean, "manage"?

She supposedly died
seven years ago.

They want to know what
she was doing.

I have a feeling you know
something about that.

I know Henry killed her.

How do you know that?

Annie witnessed it.

She what?

Auggie, I'm supposed to be
in on this.

What else are you keeping
from me?

Helen was following Henry
in Geneva.

That's where Annie
was working.

How do we know that this Hansen

did not compromise her
with Henry?

- She didn't.
- You do not know that.

There was a breach here.

Now, the next time
I get a call from Henry,

he's gonna want to thank me or
try to put a bullet in my head.

This whole thing is sloppy,
and now I have to clean it up.

No, you don't have
to clean anything up,

and you want to talk
about sloppy?

Henry killed Helen with
his own hands.

We've got him on his heels.
Let's nail him.

What does that even mean,
"nail him"?

It's not like we can call Annie
in to testify.

The victim died seven years ago,

and the witness died
over three months ago.

Not what a D.A. likes to hear.

Put a surveillance team
on him, Calder.

If he's runnin' scared,
and I know he is,

we will get something
we can use.

That would mean the end
to all of the other plays

I've been making inside
the building.

That's the point, isn't it?
To end it?

You think it's the end
for Annie, huh?

What other lifeline
does she have

if I get sent down
to I.T. with you?

Come on, think!

Thank you.

Hello, Diana.

Joan!

Come on in.
Thanks.

Hi, how are you?
I'm well.

It's really nice to see you.

I didn't know
you still worked here.

Yeah, I'm helping some of
the analysts in crateology.

They're working on
some cool projects there.

Do these numbers mean anything
to you?

Yeah, these are ours.

Any way to tell where
they were going?

- This is for crateology?
- Yeah.

Here you go.
Take a look.

Thank you.

So, this shipment was airlifted
to Kandahar?

Yeah, out of Dover
Air Force base.

And how did it get from here
to Dover?

CIA transport.
It's signed for right here.

Go, go, go, go!

Good job!
Which kid's yours?

Number 11, the midfielder.

He looks like you.

Don't tell my wife that.

Here, you dropped this
at the container yard.

Bringing your gun
to your kid's soccer game?

Not cool.

So, you're the tail I lost
at the train tracks.

What do you want?

Not much.

Just Henry Wilcox's head
on a spike.

Whoo!

Can we not do this here?

Okay.
Let's take a walk.

You're gonna set up camp
outside this address.

Bring all the tech you need
to monitor the house.

Make yourself comfortable.
And by monitor you mean, uh-

Map the entire
security system.

I want to know what kinds
of alarms,

how many guards,
how many cameras.

You looking to map
the security system

or rob the place?
Regardless of the goal,

the procedure is the same.

Here.
What's this?

It's a, uh, small token
of my appreciation.

You've been risking
a lot helping me out.

I don't want you to think
it's gone unnoticed.

Thanks, man, but, uh, there
are a lot of trans fats in here.

Since when has that been
a problem?

Oh, I'm gettin' healthy.

Yeah, I drank a bundle
of kale this morning.

It tasted disgusting,
but I feel great.

Good for you, man.

Is, um...

Is this Henry Wilcox's address?

I've gone along with a lot
without asking any questions

because I believe in you, and,
um, well, I'm no fan of him,

but this feels like
we're crossing a line here, man.

We crossed that line
a long time ago, my friend.

Incoming call.

Joan Campbell.
I should take this.

Yeah.

Hey, go easy.

Hello?

Hey, Auggie.
I'm trying to reach Helen.

Have you spoken
with her recently?

- Why?
- Are you okay?

Yeah.

I might have discovered
how Henry's

been financing his operations.

With money he stole from the--

from the CIA.

Wh-what?

We were supposed to ship
200 million to Kandahar

that never even made it
on a plane.

A courier just showed up
on our radar

with some of the stolen bills.

It looks like Henry's
been using diamonds

to launder and move
money around.

Why do you want
to reach Helen?

I need her to run something
down in New York for me.

It's not like we have that many
people left we can trust.

Joan, Helen's dead.

What?

What happened?

Henry shot her.

Oh, my God.
I...

I'm so sorry, Auggie.
I...

What can I do for you?
How can I help?

You can tell me how
I pay respects

to someone who's already
supposed to be dead.

I can't bury her
in the same grave.

I can't tell her parents
and break their hearts again.

Auggie, don't do anything
foolish.

What is it you wanted Helen
to run down?

It's okay.

I'll figure out a different way.

Hey, Tommy.
What do you got for me?

I pulled all
the camera footage

from the station last night.

I'm guessing that's the one
you're looking for.

Mr. Wilcox.

Anything more incriminating
I should be aware of?

- Cameras didn't catch much.
- Thanks, man.

You know, kidnapping a federal
official will get you 25 years.

You know what you get
for conspiring

to commit an act of terrorism?

Life...

Or not.

What act of terrorism?

Copenhagen.

You sent Deric Hughes
$10 million

before he took a helicopter
out of the sky.

- No, I never met that man.
- I'm sure you didn't.

I bet there are
a lot of protocols in place

to make sure Henry's people
never meet each other.

You know, that's a lot
to assume based on

a little piece of blue plastic.

Five pallets, three vans.
I'm not assuming anything.

I've been watching you for
a lot longer

than you should
feel comfortable with.

What is this,
some kind of shakedown?

Is that--
is that what's going on here?

'Cause you're too late.

I already moved the cash.

Why'd you clear it
all out today?

Let me tell you what happens
to people

who outlive their usefulness
to Henry.

They get eliminated.

And the next person who puts
a gun to your head

is not gonna pause
to ask you a question.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell
are you?

You think you can live
a double life?

You think you can work for Henry
in the city, punch a clock,

and be home in time for dinner?

That golden retriever is not
gonna protect your family.

You chose this game.

You put them at risk.

Can you hear me?

Hey!
Can you hear me?

Who are you?

Who are you?

I'm nobody.

Oh, yeah?

You're nobody, huh?

No ID.
No credit card.

You're very interested
in Henry Wilcox.

Tell you what, nobody.
Let's give him a call.

Find out who you are.

Stay there!

Your call has been forwarded--

That's a shame.
It's voicemail.

You really don't want him
to know you're here, do you?

Yeah, you don't.

I got an idea.

Why don't we send him a text?

Can I ask you a question?

Are you prepared to kill me?

What?

From the way
you're holding that gun

I can tell you don't get
a lot of opportunity

to use it outside
of target practice.

It'd be pretty hard to miss
from here, wouldn't it?

Look, I get it.

You're underpaid
and underappreciated.

You saw an opportunity
to provide for your family

without anybody getting hurt,

but that part of the deal
is over.

From here on out,
people get hurt.

I have a proposition for you.

I'm listening.

Ew.

Guess who just came home.

Tell me how
a car gets in there.

Uh, there's a gate,
accessed via keypad.

The password's 1850, by the way.

There's an electronic wire
around the perimeter,

apparently to keep dogs out,
but I'm guessing

it's got dual use.

Infrared cameras above
every entrance,

and one facing out
to the street, man.

No one's getting in there.
Not a chance.

Come on, Barber.

Every system has a weak spot.

Well, I'll keep looking then.

- What's he doin'?
- He's turning on the TV.

- Is he alone?
- Yep.

Where'd you tell Calder
you were?

I told him I was getting
a root canal.

All right,
I'm comin' down there.

It's not like I don't like

your company or anything,
Auggie,

but on an operation like this,

how much good can
you really do us?

It's not like you can take
a shift or anything.

If he moves, follow him.

I'll be there in about an hour.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.

We'd like a status update.

We don't have much.

Okay.
Give me what you got.

She supposedly died in Rome

seven years ago
and became a ghost.

This is a woman we trained

to move through
the world invisibly,

so there wasn't a lot to find
in 24 hours.

What about Auggie Anderson?
They were married for a mission.

She never reached out to him?
He doesn't know anything.

How do you know that?
Did you talk to him?

Yes.
We spoke this morning.

All right.

Pull him in for
a polygraph anyway.

Where are we with
the D.C. police, Calder?

Aren't you gonna introduce us?

Who are you?

Where are we with the police?

D.C. police think they caught
a Jane Doe.

We replaced all camera footage

at the bus station
with dummy footage,

and claimed her corpse from the
city morgue and disposed of it.

There won't be any autopsy,

so status update?
All clear.

Good work.
Thank you.

Hansen's approximate time
of death was around midnight,

and you called me an hour later.

There was no I.D.
on her body and the coroner

still doesn't know her identity,
yet you knew so fast.

What are you insinuating?

I'm just trying to understand

the full contours
of the situation.

You really want to open up
Hansen's case files?

Talk about how she faked her
death so we didn't know?

Talk about who was
running her off-book

for the past seven years?
There's a bigger picture here.

That picture's pretty dark.

If you're unable to see
this thing through to the end,

I need to know now
so I can make other plans.

No.
We're good.

Thank you, Mr. Michaels.
That will be all.

So, let me get this straight.

You want me to let you
walk out of here

with full knowledge of my
involvement in this operation?

Yeah.

I don't even know
who the hell you are.

You want my credentials?

I'm the reason Henry Wilcox
is running scared.

I'm the reason you had to move
that money.

I will bring him to justice.

Okay, you got three days
to get to him.

Three days, or I'll make myself
even more invaluable

to Henry Wilcox, 'cause
I'll tell him you're coming.

Deal.

So, what do you want from me?

Information.

When did he tell you
to move the money?

Late last night.

Where'd you take it?

To a diamond wholesaler
in Brooklyn.

Courier's picking it up
this afternoon.

And where's he taking them?

Henry's picking up shop.
He's moving to Hong Kong.

Why is he going to Hong Kong?

Hi, Arthur, it's me.
I-I didn't want to wake you

before I left this morning, but
I just wanted to let you know

I had a really good appointment
at the doctor's.

Everything looks great with
the baby.

I just wish I could say
the same about us.

Listen, I hope you know
that even if we're fighting,

I will always fight for you.

This probably isn't
the best time to tell you

I won't be home for dinner
'cause I'm working late,

but I hope you're up when
I get there.

I love you.

- Good afternoon, ma'am.
- Hi.

- I'm Roy.
- And I am Joan,

from Levittown Gold and Gems.

- Hmm.
- Is this, um,

all the merchandise you carry?

Um, is there anything
in particular

that you're looking for?
I was thinking bigger.

Bigger and flashier.

- Bigger?
- It's Long Island.

Of course.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Here we are.

Those are gorgeous.

Oh.

Are you all right?

God, this is so embarrassing.

Would I be able to use
your ladies room?

Normally, no, but--

But you'll make an exception
for the lady who's about to pop?

- It's back here.
- Aw, you're so sweet.

Thank you so much.

- This way.
- Okay.

Right.

It's, uh, right over here.

Oh, great.
Thank you.

Roy, Brinks is here for you.

So, everything's out of
the container?

Yes.
It's all in the vault.

You got your delivery
instructions?

Yeah.

Uh, mid-levels, escalators,

Hollywood Road platform,
Hong Kong.

The day after next at 10:00 a.m.

All right.
I'm on my way.

I think I found just what
you're looking for.

I'm sorry.
I forgot something in my car.

I'll be right back.

Annie?

You're alive.

Joan, what are you doing here?

Henry's money.
I'm looking for his courier.

- Is he here?
- He's right behind me.

That's him.

- Well, Joan--
- Annie, Annie, come here!

I overheard them talking.

There's a meet scheduled
in Hong Kong

the day after next.
I know the location.

Thanks.

Ow.

What happened?

Oh, uh, a car crash.
I must not have felt it.

Car crash?

I'm taking you to the hospital.
Oh, no, no, no.

Trust me.

It's not a good idea.

Okay.
I think I got everything.

How are you feeling?
I can't stop thinking about

that courier on the way
to Hong Kong with Henry's money.

We can't let Henry follow.

You know how hard it's gonna be
to get Henry out of Hong Kong.

The Chinese will grant
him asylum,

and he will be untouchable.

Sit still, Annie.

You need to get him
into custody right now.

With what evidence?

We already know
all the pieces.

He stole money from the CIA.

He's responsible for Copenhagen.

Someone can get him to talk.

Well, I don't have
that power anymore.

Calder does.

Who's that from?

Henry Wilcox.

Everything in here is top-shelf.

Wine, truffles, Johnnie Blue.

Everyone he works with
looks exactly like him.

Well, except for you.

I don't work with him.

Then why the gift basket?

Go.

Calder Michaels.

Hi, Calder.
It's Joan.

We have a lot to talk about,

but I'm not gonna get
into all that right now.

What are we gonna get into?

I need a TAC team
to round up Henry Wilcox

and stick him in a box.

Can you do that?

Why the hell not?

Hey, man.
How'd you find me?

Hey.

I knocked on the other
contracting van first.

There isn't another one,
is there?

Barber, what do you got?

Oh, uh, he's still hunkered
down in there.

- He's still alone?
- Yeah.

Well, he had a pizza delivered.

Did you track
the delivery guy?

What if he brought something in
or took something out?

Track the delivery guy?

Me and what army, Auggie?
He brought in a pizza.

He took out 20 bucks.
I can't follow everyone.

Hey, relax, Barber.
It's just a question.

Sorry.

It's just my first day ever
without pizza.

All right, you said you built
a security profile?

Yeah, yeah.

I found an override for
the perimeter fence.

I can shut down the cameras,

put 'em on a loop
Ocean's 11 style.

Great.

Yeah, that's great.
Thank you.

Cool, man.
So, what are we doing?

Buggin' the place?

You did great work, Barber.

I'll take it from here.

No, I'm here to help.
What do you need?

Hey, you've been
a good friend,

but you got to go.

What kind of team did
you bring with you?

I'm trying to protect you
from that answer, and I'd feel

a hell of a lot better
if you weren't here for this.

Oh, man.
You don't want to do this.

Go home, Barber.

I hope you know what you're
doing, man.

Okay, boys.

On my cue.

Move out.

We're in.

What the hell?
Auggie, it's not Wilcox.

Hold on a sec.

What do you mean,
"hold on a second"?

What's goin' on?

And what do you mean
it's not Wilcox?

We're bringing him out.

Looks like we got company.

What's goin' on?
I need a status update.

What the hell is this?

Stand down, soldier.

What the hell
is Calder doing there?

Looks like
the same thing we are.

I said stand down.

We're coming out.

You got Henry?

No.
He set up a decoy.

Where the hell is Henry?

What the hell you doing?

I thought Henry was
a flight risk.

I was bringing him into custody.

That's what I was doing.

What you were doin'
was personal.

This is personal for me
in ways you don't get.

Yeah, you're right.
I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Don't go off the reservation,
Auggie.

You hear me?

We need you.
You're way too valuable.

What brought you
down here now?

I got a phone call.

From who?

How's Arthur doing?

Well, he's still grieving Teo.

I can't seem to help him
through that.

Well, you're giving him
another son.

It's hard to be joyful
right now

with so much going on at home.

You coming back
would help a lot.

I can't come back
until Henry's finished.

I know, but we're close.

You need any cash?

Yeah, actually I do.
I'm running pretty low.

Okay.
I'll stop at an ATM.

Thanks.

Joan, what's the protocol for
a spy coming in from the cold?

Normally it's about six months
of briefings and evaluations.

You get a physical,

and somebody follows you around
for about a year.

You said, "normally."
What if--

what happens when
it's not normal?

There's no precedent.

I was actually looking into that
for Helen.

- Helen wanted to come in?
- Yeah.

Should I not have told you that?

I've been struggling
with being away.

I always thought Helen
was good at it.

Maybe she was just good
at pretending.

It's Calder Michaels.

Yeah?

What?
When?

Okay.
Thank you.

Did they get Henry?

No.
He set up a decoy in his house.

No one can find him.

I'm really sorry, Annie.

How can you get me
to Hong Kong?

Henry went to
some pretty great lengths

to make it seem like
he wasn't going anywhere.

Which would suggest
he's up to something

worth going
to great lengths for.

That it does.
How you feeling?

I heard you took a hit.
Not too bad.

And how are you gonna avoid
taking one?

You don't call a TAC team
on Henry without consequence.

What sort of protections have
you arranged?

You're looking at 'em.

If we don't come back
with anything,

this is basically
a one-way trip.

Annie, can you give us
a minute?

Sure.
I'll go take my seat.

Thanks, Joan.

Fly safe.

You know, the first few months
of us working together,

I resented you, and the last
few months, I've hated you.

Are you apologizing?
Because you suck at it.

Calder, I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

It wasn't easy filling
your shoes.

All right.

And thank you.

Thank you for Annie.

The girl can be persuasive.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Joan thought you could use
a tech out there.

Yeah, she told me.

And when she told you,
you were, uh--

I know you've always got
my back.

I do.

I, uh, took this
the other night.

I'm not entirely sure why.

Thank you.

I was scared I lost you.

You know when I was scared?

When?

When I knocked on your door
and you asked who it was,

and I didn't know the answer.

We all good?
