Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 4, Episode 15 - There Goes My Gun - full transcript

Previously
on Covert Affairs...

Back from Geneva already?

I go where
Henry Wilcox goes.

We have transcripts

of Henry's phone calls
in Geneva.

We have photographs
of him

with his contacts there.

The world needs to know
what Henry's done.

Teo and Annie are dead
because of him.

I can use whatever resources
I can

to out Henry
and get our lives back.



Our main goal now
is to defend Arthur

against these charges,
not counterpunch recklessly.

Annie?

You're alive.

[Groans]

- You got Henry?
- No.

He set up a decoy.
Where the hell's Henry?

We're gonna
get him, Auggie.

- How?
- I need to find Nelson Smith.

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

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.



- Where's he taking them?
- Henry's pickin' up shop.

He's movin'
to Hong Kong.

Why is he going
to Hong Kong?

If we don't come back
with anything,

this is basically
a one-way trip.

This is a big-ass haystack
of a city

to find
a needle in.

Those diamonds
Annie tracked down

in New York
are Henry's future.

He's gotta come out
sooner or later to get 'em.

Catching him here
is gonna be complicated.

This is the clearest mission
I've had in months.

We track the diamond courier
to Henry,

we grab Henry,
and we take him back

to pay
for what he's done.

It's an unsanctioned mission
on Chinese soil.

We just gotta remember
to play by Hong Kong rules.

Every neighbor
could be a spy.

MSS is the biggest
big brother there is.

Three off-book CIA operatives

with a lot of intel
to get tortured out of.

And if we get caught,
it won't be pretty.

Welcome to my world.

I've been operating this way
for months.

There it is.
A safe house.

That pass is scheduled
to happen

in less
than an hour.

We got to get you guys
in position

on those escalators
before the courier gets there.

Let's move.

- Joan?
- Arthur.

I have
to tell you something,

but I didn't want to talk
about it on the phone.

If this is about Teo,
I'm not gonna pretend

that ordering
the torture of my son

is something
I can forget.

Arthur--

But I know the reason
you left is--

is just 'cause of the way
I reacted.

That's not
why I left.

I found Annie.

She's alive.

No sign of the courier
at the top.

I'm headed down.

Calder, keep headin' up.

No courier yet,
but it's a nice hike.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Escalators only go down
in the morning.

All right.

You both should be reaching
Hollywood Road

in about a minute.

That's where the pass
should take place.

Stay a level or two away
from each other, okay?

What, you mean
a white woman

and a black guy
might be easy to spot?

Well, next time,
I'll come along

so we're not
too conspicuous.

Calder, I got him.

Blue shirt, tan jacket.

He's headed
to the intersection

of Lyndhurst and Gage.

He's got the case.
Right on time.

On my way.

Keep an eye out
for the pass.

Annie, you got anything?

I lost him.

Any sign of him?

I-I--Calder,
do you have him?

I got nothin'
on my end.

I got him.

Does he still
have the briefcase?

Any sign of Henry?

He doesn't have
the case.

Damn it.
Grab that courier.

He's our only line
back to Henry.

We lose him,
we got nothin'.

He's headed down the stairs
to Lyndhurst Terrace.

I got him.
I got eyes on him.

- He's on the run.
- I got him, I got him.

Calder.

[Tires screeching]
[Horns honking]

[Thud!]
Ah! No!

[Screams]

What just happened?

I think he's dead.

There Goes My Gun
Original Air Date on November 14, 2013

We can't let anybody
see us here.

Hong Kong police force'll
be all over this.

Wait, that's
what I'm hoping for.

What are
you talking about?

Dead or alive, he's still
our only lead to Henry.

No, Annie.
No, Ann--

Excuse me.

I saw this man
at the escalator.

He was talking
to someone.

What happened, miss?

He was on the escalators
arguing with someone,

and then he started
running away.

- Was he a friend of yours?
- No.

No, I--
Calder, what is she doing?

I think he's dead.
Going to the cops.

She's--
[Overlapping chatter]

All right, let her
follow it down.

Let her follow
it down.

Excuse me.

And you didn't get
a good look

at this person
he was talking to?

It was a big crowd,
but I might recognize him

if I saw him again.

You will need
to come to the station

and answer some questions.

- Okay.
- Come with me.

Annie called an audible,
ran right into the fray.

Yeah, she's using the police
to help I.D.

whoever the courier passed
that briefcase to.

And improvising like that

puts this entire operation
in jeopardy.

Henry could already be
onto us.

What are you talkin' about?
Whoever took that briefcase

is now our only link to Henry
in Hong Kong.

Yeah, how are we gonna beat
Henry Wilcox

if Annie keeps operating
like she's by herself?

Calder, the only reason
we're this close to Henry

is because of what Annie did
when she was on her own.

Now I can't hack into
the security cameras

on the escalators,
so if you want to know

who Henry gave his entire
fortune to in that briefcase,

Annie's our best chance.

Miss.
This way, please.

I'm Detective Wong.

Thank you
for helping out today.

It's not a problem.

When did you arrive
in Hong Kong?

Uh, this morning.

- Oh, from the U.S.?
- Mm-hmm.

- You must be jet-lagged.
- [Sighs]

Where are you staying here
in Hong Kong?

Um, I got a place
on Airbnb.

Why were you
at mid-level?

I wasn't able
to check in yet,

and so I was just killing
a few hours.

I went to see
the Man Mo Temple.

Ah, well, sorry
to put a damper

on your sightseeing plans.

We'll get you out of here
as soon as we can.

Well, this is certainly
out of the blue.

I've been squeezing
the Attorney General for it,

but I didn't want to get
your hopes up.

I-I didn't ask
for a plea deal.

Look, Arthur.

It's my responsibility
to make sure you have options.

This is a guilty plea
and a jail sentence.

But no murder
and no treason charges.

I'm not guilty.

We both know
that doesn't matter.

Teo committed major crimes,

and you're gonna take
the fall.

Teo was a patriot
and a hero.

You missed out
on raising one child.

Do you really want to lose
your second chance?

How am I gonna do that
from a jail cell?

You sign this
and you get eight to ten, tops.

You lose in court,
and you could go away for life.

DOJ's got
an airtight case.

- What if they don't?
- This is what I mean.

You need to listen
to reason.

Henry Wilcox is responsible,

and we're close
to proving it.

How?
With what evidence?

If you have something
that can prove Henry's guilt,

I strongly suggest
you share it with me

so I can use it
to our advantage.

You asked me to admit
to something I didn't do.

You funded Teo and his
terrorist activities for years.

There are bank statements,
trails to your pension.

You even used Auggie Anderson
to set up

accounts for him
in Colombia.

Look, Arthur.

This is
your only way out.

- Hm.
- Take it.

Do it
for your family.

I implore you.

Do you have
any other angles?

This is all
we have.

Should we slow
it down?

Please, there are so many
people on the escalator.

Stop.

That's him with the man
who died.

Wait here.

Calder, she's got him.

Do you have any way
to run this

through the database
at Langley?

Already sent it
to Joan.

Running it through now.

How did you get this?
And where's Annie?

She's at a Hong Kong
police precinct.

She improvised once the courier
was taken off the board.

She got HKPF to show her
security cam footage.

I've got a match,
but we've got a problem.

The man who took
the diamonds

from the courier
is Oliver Li.

He's MSS, fourth in command
at the Third Bureau.

Henry's working
with the Chinese spy service?

Soon as Hong Kong police
realize she's I.D.ed

an MSS agent,
they'll never let her go.

She's gotta get out
of there, Auggie.

We're on it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Good afternoon.

Miss...

I'm glad you're here.

It saved me having
to track you down myself.

And why would you
come looking for me?

I have a picture
that I thought

might be of interest
to you.

I thought maybe you'd want to
handle the situation yourself.

I want Henry Wilcox.

You help me bring him
to U.S. soil,

and you can have all
the diamonds for yourself.

Hush, hush.

It's been ten minutes
since we texted her.

If she's not out
in two minutes more,

I'm going in
after her.

Come on.

Guys, meet Oliver Li.

He's coming with us.

[Ignition starting]

Let me guess:
Oliver didn't want his friends

at MSS finding out
he made a side deal with Henry.

And his friends
are not exactly friendly,

so he's making a new deal
with us.

He's gonna help us
catch Henry,

we're gonna keep that picture
of him

taking the briefcase
to ourselves,

and he gets to keep
all of Henry's diamonds.

This isn't necessary.

You have the leverage
you need against me.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're still a spy.

If the roles were reversed,
would you trust me?

No.

There was close
to $200 million

on those stolen pallets.

What was your take gonna be?
10, 15 mil?

Try 30.

You help us catch Henry,
you get to keep it all.

I'm guessing $200 million

means more to you
than the motherland.

What can I say?
I'm a capitalist at heart.

Pleasure doing business
with you, Oliver.

Take a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.

You are
the entire team?

Looks like the CIA
greatly underestimates

how dangerous Henry Wilcox
actually is.

If anyone has
a healthy understanding

of what Henry can do,
it's us.

Henry will be ready
for war,

and you don't
have backup.

You're going to fail.

Look, pal.

You better do everything
in your power

to make sure
we don't fail,

or you're taking
the first bullet.

Hear me?

Can I talk to you?

We need him to trust us.

The money's enough incentive.

200 million
stolen CIA dollars.

In untraceable diamonds
that he already has

in his possession,
which we will never see

no matter what happens.

You want to go all in
with a Chinese spy?

What if he doesn't lead us
to Henry?

[Sighs]

Call Henry.

Schedule a meet
somewhere public.

[Door closes]
Hey.

I came home
as soon as I could.

Things are moving quickly
in Hong Kong.

They're closing in
on Henry.

- I think we are too.
- What's going on?

Well, it's my turn
to tell you something

I couldn't say
over the phone.

Bianca came by,

and she brought me
a plea deal.

You didn't sign it,
did you?

No, of course not.

Did you ever mention
to Bianca

that I sent Auggie
to Medellin

to open that bank account
for Teo?

What? No.

We agreed to keep Annie
and Auggie out of the testimony.

Well, while she was
laying out

the litany of proof
against me,

she specifically referenced

that I sent him
to Colombia,

but it is nowhere
in any of these depositions.

She actually mentioned Auggie
by name?

I never even told her
I sent an operative down there.

I said I set up
the account myself.

So how did she know?

The only other person who knew
about that was Annie,

and she found out from--

Henry.

Bianca slipped up.

Oh, my God.

Bianca might just be
the smoking gun

we can use
against him.

What does Henry Wilcox
have on you?

Now why would I tell you
something like that,

especially after you gave me
a better way out?

As long
as you deliver Henry.

What are you gonna do
with the money?

Are you gonna stay
in Hong Kong?

I'm up for early pension
in six months,

so I can't leave
before then.

Why?

You don't need
the pension now.

The ministry
would get suspicious.

But yes,
the day I resign

is the day I disappear
with all

of Henry Wilcox's
hard-earned fortune.

You don't like being
a spy?

You and I,

we put our lives
on the line,

but it's just a game.

I realized
a long time ago

that the only way
you can win the game

is by getting out.

Hey, Walker.

We got eight hours
till the meet.

My shift now.
Go grab some downtime.

Mingus?

Better than small talk
with Calder.

How about small talk
with me?

Eh.

Nothing you and I have
to talk about is small.

I know.

I'm kind of hungry.
You wanna grab a bite?

Sure.

You said
you were hungry,

but I don't hear
any slurping.

I guess I got used
to eating alone.

I'm sorry,
I know this hasn't

been easy
for you either.

At least now I'm not worried
about where you are,

or if you are.

Sometimes I don't remember
what life was like

before I went dark.

[Chuckles]

Annie, that's what it feels
like when you're at war.

Everything we lost,
everything he put us through,

in eight hours,
it'll be over.

Either we get Henry,
or we die trying.

We're gonna get him.

And then,
we're goin' home.

[Sighs]

Two minutes to showtime.

You know
your dance steps?

Get on the tram
with Henry.

You get in the front car.
I'll be in the back.

Get off halfway
up the hill,

MacDonnell Road.

We'll park
next to the stop.

You just get Henry as close
to this van as possible.

Annie will be following
from a distance.

Once he's in position,
she'll force him in from behind.

You sure I shouldn't be
the one doing the follow?

If Henry spots Annie,
this whole thing is over.

If I didn't know
how to follow someone

without being noticed,
I would've been dead

a long time ago.

Check his wire?

All right, Oliver,
give me a sound check.

[Speaking Chinese]

What'd you just say?

He said, "good luck.
It's gonna be great."

It's workin'.

Looks like he's here.
Let's do this.

You ready?

Don't worry about me.

Just keep up your end.

I'll be right behind you.

[Car door closes]

Annie.

You ready?

You know, I've never been
more ready

for anything in my life.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah?

You asked for Michaels
and Anderson's whereabouts.

I think
I might have them.

One of our jets took off
from Dix Field

in Linwood, New Jersey
almost 48 hours ago,

destination unknown.

I pinged the transponder.

Says it's now
in Hong Kong.

Auggie and Calder
are here?

I think so.

[Sighs]

Thank you, Eric.

Thanks for meeting me
on such short notice.

Your call concerned me.
I wasn't expecting any hiccups.

I wasn't expecting your man
to be hit by a car.

Let's take a ride.

Listen up.
We've got eyes on the tram.

Soon as they get off,
be in position

to force Henry
into the van.

Let's get off here
so we can talk privately.

No, no,
let's go to the summit.

Enjoy the view.

Henry, I'm not here
to take in the sights.

I took care of your dead courier
at great personal expense.

I need your assurances
that that will not happen again.

At the top,
there'll be safety in numbers.

They didn't get off
the tram.

- You hear that?
- Yeah.

Grabbing Henry
at the summit's

gonna be a lot harder.

You have two minutes.

I love Victoria Peak.

The view
is so relaxing.

It helps me
to think more clearly.

And one of your Chinese
proverbs comes to mind.

You must know it.

"Fortune does
not come twice.

Misfortune does
not come alone."

You profited immensely

from the chopper strike
in Copenhagen.

As did you.

And it never
would've happened

if I hadn't planned
every last detail

for you, would it?

You get Henry,
I'll get the car.

I owe you
nothing, Henry.

But you do.
An explanation.

I thought we were
in this together.

I trusted you
with my money.

And then, in repayment,

you lured me
into a trap?

Don't be
so surprised, Oliver.

We are both
spies, remember?

I didn't think you'd be
completely honest with me.

You shouldn't think I'd be
completely honest with you.

Auggie, you've got company.

Open your door
as hard as you can

when I tell you.

Ready?

Three,

two,

one.

[Gunshot]

[Shouting and screaming]

[Groaning]

[Gunshots]

[Groaning]

[Shouting and screaming]

I got Li.
I got Li.

Freeze!

[Groaning]

Guys, come on.

[Groaning]

[Gasping]

[Tires screeching]

Henry's guys
were waitin' for us.

How the hell'd he know
we were here?

Oliver must've signaled him.

Why?

So he can kill me too?

I told you you'd fail.

Look, can we just
figure out

how we are gonna
follow Henry?

He is getting farther away
by the minute.

In case you weren't
paying attention,

we are blown here.

Our only advantage
was Henry

not knowing
we were coming.

Henry doesn't know
I'm alive.

You do not know that.

Look, we came here
to get Henry,

and that is exactly
what we are gonna do.

But we don't need
him anymore.

We have Oliver.

We're gonna
take him back.

He's gonna testify
about Copenhagen.

That wasn't the deal
we made.

The deal has changed.

[Laughs]

And you think MSS

will let me leave
with you?

They'll kill all of us
before they do that.

Yeah, well, that's just a risk
we're gonna have to take.

All right, he is our best bet
right now.

Arthur will be exonerated,

and you can finally
come back home.

I can't go home
without Henry.

You can't,
or you won't?

I mean, come on, Annie.

This could be your last chance
to get back.

Do you really want
to give that up?

The idea of leaving here
without Henry

turns my stomach,

but I would rather
leave now

with a chance
to make things right

than not be able
to leave at all.

If we leave without Henry,
he wins.

He goes unpunished.

Annie, Henry forced you
into this game,

but you get to decide
what you're playing for.

And you better
decide fast

because our window
to get off this island

is closing by the minute.

Bianca.

Arthur.

I knew you'd change
your mind.

How much has
he been paying you

to tank my case?

Who?

Henry Wilcox.

That's
an outrageous accusation.

I never told you
that I sent Auggie to Medellin.

Neither did Joan.

Henry was the only other person
that knew.

So when did he first
contact you?

About a week after
you returned from Germany.

Tell me
what you know, Bianca.

You can either tell me
right now,

or you can tell
the Attorney General.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

I can't.

[Gunshots]

[Horse neighing]

[Groans]

[Groaning and shouting]

[Gunshot]

[Exhales]

[Groans]

[Coughing]

Joan.

[Panting]

[Coughs]

Come on, pick up.

[Cell phone vibrates]

[Vibrating continues]

[Beep]

Joan?

Honey, can
you hear me?

Get out of the house
now, okay?

Right now.

Now.
They're coming.

[Gunshots]

Joan, we've got
Oliver Li,

and we're headed
to the plane now.

Oh, my God.

Uh, are you both okay?

Okay, well, uh,

you take care
of each other,

and--and we'll take care
of things here.

Well, what is it?
What's going on?

Henry put a hit out
on Arthur and Joan.

Joan's okay.

Arthur's been stabbed,

and they're operating
on him now.

That son of a bitch.

Think we got a problem
of our own.

They found us.

How'd they find us
so quickly?

Hold your line
and let 'em grow on us.

Wrap your arms around me,
and hold on tight.

[Gunshot]
[Tires screeching]

Nice shot.

I'm guessing
we lost them.

Yeah, for now.

If they found us once,
they can find us again.

Can I get
a cigarette, please?

You took them yesterday

with my wallet
and my phone.

[Sighs]

Oliver's phone.

That's how
they're tracking us.

Get rid
of 'em now.

Wait.
I can take the phone.

I can use the phone
to get Henry's men

to follow us
to the ferry.

That'll buy you
enough time

to get back
to the plane.

I'll loop around
and meet you there.

I think I've finally learned
not to try

to stop you
when your mind's made up.

Thank you, Calder.

We'll meet you
on the tarmac.

Annie.

Auggie, I have
to do this.

I was just gonna say
good luck.

Thanks.

Go.

[Sighs]

- Mrs. Campbell?
- Yes?

I'm Dr. Adams, part
of your husband's surgical team.

- How is he?
- He's doing well.

He's asking for you
in recovery.

I can take you
to see him now.

[Sighs]
Thank God.

Arthur.

In that moment,

all I could think of

was you.

[Mutters]

The thought
of not seeing you.

I'm here now.

We're here now.

[Sighs]

Come on,
the jet's already warming up.

We're not goin' anywhere
without Annie.

We're not gonna
leave her behind.

Let's go, we'll wait for her
on the plane, Auggie.

Annie.

Auggie, did you make it
to the plane?

Oliver's on board
with Calder.

They should be safely out of
Chinese airspace in minutes.

Then where are you?

There's no way
I'm leaving,

not without you.

Auggie, I didn't stay
to try and catch him.

I have
a different plan now.

You know that, right?

You know
I'm with you

no matter
how this thing ends.

Just tell me
what you need me to do.

Auggie...

I gotta go.

Hey.

You lookin' for this?

Hold her!

Oh, my God.

[Laughs]

Hello, Miss Walker.
