Covert Affairs (2010–2014): Season 5, Episode 16 - Gold Soundz - full transcript
Annie and McQuaid are trapped in Argentina with Balenko and are trying to find a way out. Arthur is being given an opportunity but he chooses to decline because it could affect Joan. When the Russians looking for Balenko get closer, Annie needs to rely on him. And one of Balenko's men goes after Auggie as Auggie tries to make an important decision.
I wonder if you can listen
to someone else get tortured,
someone you care about.
- Auggie!
- Tash?
Belenko was targeting my unit.
There's one guy still alive--
James Deckard.
I've been reading up
about you, you know.
You were suspended
from the CIA recently.
Something
about a heart condition.
You want to go back
and get Belenko, don't you?
- I love you.
- I love you too.
Annie, I know
you don't work for us anymore,
but it would be helpful if you
could capture Belenko alive.
Annie.
That is a message.
The Russians want me.
We have other angles to work
in the meantime, such as Langer.
He was working for Belenko.
What happened?
She was shot, fell through
a window trying to escape.
Excuse me.
The ballistics are back.
It was Allen Langer.
Belenko's guy.
Security camera places him
in West Virginia
less than three hours ago.
I want a search team
scrambled, stat.
Delta team, go around.
Sir, sir, go back in your house.
Sir, down the stairs!
Down the stairs!
Target is headed east
out of the building.
Alpha team, pursue. Delta team,
come in from the south side.
We got this.
Langer!
Webb, search the building.
Do you see him?
Where is he?
- You lost him?
- Yeah.
Langer did his counter-pursuit
training at Camp Peary.
He knew our moves.
Buenos Aires--where we at?
Auggie and Deckard
are on their way home
via secure CIA transport.
Okay, Annie and McQuaid?
Last we heard, they may have
Belenko in their custody.
Cell service is still cut.
No sign of the Vega force
since they executed the chief.
That's typical Vega tactics.
Just trying to control
the battleground.
Battleground?
These men move like ghosts.
The Russians
pay them very handsomely
to hunt humans like animals.
They work in threes.
I'm thinking
that we need to
barter this guy
for safe passage.
We already have this SIM card.
I know it's not everything,
but the CIA
should be happy with that,
and he is just gonna
slow us down.
You still won't be
fast enough.
Listen to me.
Why does Russia
want you dead now?
I came from nothing,
and the only way
to go from nothing
to power is through leverage.
I know everything--everything
about how the FSB works,
their infrastructure.
Now,
you're going to keep me alive
for the very same reasons
that the Russians
want to kill me.
I know bringing him along
makes our life much harder,
but if Russia sent their best
to silence him,
he is better than any SIM card.
The intelligence angle
is to keep him alive.
Okay, then we keep him alive.
I still have my universal key.
We'll find a car,
and we'll drive like hell
to the U.S. embassy.
Sound like a plan?
Yeah.
Search the grid.
See what you can pick up
through ambient SIGINT.
Anything from the FBI
regarding Natasha's status?
Well, call Bill Butler at ICE
and tell him that I'm gonna
make his life a living hell
if she isn't on a plane
to D.C. by Tuesday.
Yeah, thanks.
So this Natasha
went through all that shit,
and they can't get her immunity?
It's gonna happen.
It's just your basic
bureaucratic bullshit.
Yeah, well,
Langley's a one-way street.
So what's the deal with you two?
Like, you in a relationship
or something?
It's complicated.
Her getting kidnapped
and tortured in order
to get information out of you
is more than complicated.
She started as an Op.
It became more, but the Agency
always got in the way.
Shocker.
I'm sure she has a few
choice words about the Agency.
Yeah.
That is putting it mildly.
I get it, though.
The Agency's hard to understand
for anyone on the outside.
But that's the life, right?
Doesn't have to be.
Look, I've been Agency-free
for nine years, brother.
The grass is greener
than you think.
Come on, hasn't it been hard
just walking away
from your life?
Walking away was easy.
Coming back is hard.
How about that one?
Yeah.
That's the Vega force.
Sniper's up there.
You think
you can take him out?
I highly doubt it.
- You don't talk.
- We need to create a cover.
I got an idea.
Go!
Okay, that will work
for a smoke screen.
Stay back!
Okay, once he stops shooting,
we make a charge.
But if we're gonna do this,
we have to be all in together,
no matter what happens.
What?
If we make it out of this,
how about we get married?
Seriously?
Absolutely.
You ready?
Go.

Clear.
One down.
Grenades?
These guys treat everything
like it's a war zone.
He says they're going south
towards Calle Cuatro.
That's close to here.
We need to go on offense
if we're gonna get out of this,
so I say that we go fishing
for assassins.
Going right there.
Thank you.
Since when did the party chair
weigh in on security contracts?
It's nice to meet you
in person, Arthur.
But we are here to discuss
something far more important
than security contracts.
Well, your reputation
precedes you, Ms. Coughlin.
Yes, it does.
Arthur, Senator Pierson
is stepping down
at the end of her term.
I'm sorry to hear that.
As you are from
Claire's home state of Maryland,
there's going to be a vacancy.
The party would like you
to consider a run.
For Senate?
It may feel like a big swing,
but we believe
you have a good chance,
especially with our backing.
Explain "backing,"
because it--
it can mean
a few different things.
Major commitment from
major donors, super-PAC funding,
of course--but you're
used to doing things off-book.
Why me?
Your resume
speaks for itself--
Navy, CIA,
the private sector, family man.
The world thinks
I resigned from the CIA
because of an affair.
Yes.
Joan would be a key player
by your side.
She's a strong female
role model.
I'm honored.
But a political campaign
is a microscope.
I don't know if I want
to put my family through that.
Sorry, visiting hours
haven't started yet.
Okay, I need to get to work.
Can I just sit with her now
for a bit?
Family only.
Are you related?
I'll come back.
Welcome back, Auggie.
Welcome back, Auggie.
Yeah, thanks, Joan.
Anything yet?
No, nothing concrete,
but there's a pretty widespread
cell outage in Villa 31.
We need to get
an immediate ground search party
in that vicinity.
We don't have that capability
in Argentina.
We have an embassy there,
right?
They've got bulletproof-glass
vehicles, right?
Get some guys driving
around the neighborhood.
Put a call in
to the ambassador right now.
Hey, wait.
Also, put a vehicle
outside Recoleta cemetery.
That's pretty far
south of the slum.
Just do it.
Radio check.
Check.
Rooftops clear.
Last communication
between the Vegas
had one of them in the area,
the other on the far side
of the Villa.
I wish there was another way
to do this.
The only way out is through.
We're not gonna
let Belenko get killed.
Thank you for going along
with this.
When I told you I'd help you,
I meant it.
We made this decision together--
all in.
I got eyes.
Northwest, heading northeast
towards Belenko.
Should be on him
in three, two...
Annie, behind you!
They must have signaled
a coordinated retreat.
Belenko's gone.
You take that alley.
I'll take this one.
Belenko!
That's far enough.
There you are.
There's no need for that.
Walker, do you copy?
Walker, come in.
Walker, do you copy?
Why'd you save me?
You gave us
quite the scare there.
The first time we met,
I mentioned that Chinese proverb
to you about saving your life.
I wonder what the Chinese word
for "twice" is.
Leong tse.
You didn't answer my question.
Puedo?
Why did I save you?
Because the Russians
are smart and ruthless,
and they want me dead.
You're the only friend
I have right now.
I'm not your friend.
It's too strong a word?
Okay.
The enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
- Who's this family?
- I'm a diplomat.
I'm very good at convincing
people to do things.
I convinced them
to help me save you.
Oh, you don't have
to thank me right now.
Let it marinate.
Auggie, a few things--
one, a message
from Bill Butler at ICE.
He too chicken to talk to me
on the phone? Call him back.
He says
they're putting Natasha
on a flight this afternoon--
full immunity, no conditions.
All right, thanks, Linda.
Listen, I'm gonna
need real-time data analysis
on the Buenos Aires PD.
You don't want
to talk to Natasha?
Excuse me?
That's the other thing.
She's on line two.
You kind of buried the lede
there, Linda.
Hey.
So good to hear your voice.
Same here.
So I'll be in the states
by 4:00 today,
and I'm not sure
where I'm staying--
No, you come
to my apartment.
Okay.
But the only thing is,
I may not be home by then.
We're in the middle
of a work crisis here.
It has to do with everything
we've been dealing with.
I hear you.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
We've got embassy vehicles
canvassing Villa 31.
No visuals on Annie, McQuaid,
or Belenko,
but there's been reports
of gunfire.
I also heard from Maxim Gomelsky
that the FSB has deployed
a Vega force unit to Argentina.
Jesus.
Who do we have in the area?
There's not a ton of need
for paramilitary in Argentina,
and even if there were,
we can't send soldiers in.
Russia did.
Hey, Joe.
We're just going over
the situation in B.A.
I heard the rumors.
DCS wandering the halls
in a T-shirt.
Didn't think
they were actually true, but--
Just came in
from West Virginia.
So you're running
tactical missions now?
I'm taking initiative.
We have a potential windfall
in Aleksandre Belenko
within our reach
in Buenos Aires,
and you're going after
some low-level black bagger?
Allen Langer is not low level.
He's in league with Belenko.
Belenko kills by proxy.
Langer is a threat.
Who also happened to put
your girlfriend in the hospital.
What's this about, Joe?
Leadership.
Priorities.
Stephanie Banks
got us the Intel
that led us to Belenko.
She is now fighting
for her life.
We owe it to her, and we owe it
to all of our assets
to prove that the CIA will
hold up its end of the bargain.
That's leadership.
Put your suit back on.
Didn't expect that from you.
He was being a dick.
Besides, I know
you're gonna get the job done.
We should go.
You want to go back out there?
It's not gonna take long
for that Vega force to find us.
My gun?
Hey, you saved me.
Now let me help save you.
When this is over,
you are gonna help us.
You sound confident.
If the Russians don't
kill you, your condition will.
You don't have much time left.
You don't want
to spend it running like this.
I almost shot you.
I'm sure glad you didn't.
How'd you find us?
High school Spanish
and a fistful of cash.
Best guess is that the Vegas
are headed to the north side
near the container yard.
Then we should go south
towards Recoleta cemetery.
Auggie might send
a vehicle there.
Why do you think that?
Well, I've worked with him
for five years.
He tends to pick places
with multiple egress options,
plus he mentioned it.
Recoleta's not far from here.
Did you guys hear
Hollman cancelled poker night?
What's going on, you think?
Big situation in B.A.
DPD is in full-court press mode.
I got to jet.
Sir, this is FSO Bracken.
Bracken, talk to me.
I'm just wondering, sir,
should we continue this canvass
in the same way?
We've been driving around
like you ordered,
but we're kind of
flying blind here.
You and me both.
Sorry, sir?
Don't be.
Just keep
canvassing in that area.
The second I have more Intel,
you'll be the first to know.
I'll meet you there.
Auggie.
I know you're frustrated,
but we're gonna--
Frustrated?
Annie's been out of pocket
too long.
If she gets through this,
we owe it to her
to find her something here.
I can try to help her.
I can talk to the DCI, but she
has to want to come back.
Yeah.
Anderson?
Who's asking?
I'm Jones from polygraph.
Deckard's down there now.
The polygrapher wanted to know
if you wanted to be there
with him.
Polygraph--
why is he being polygraphed?
Hey,
I'm just the messenger, man.
All right, let's go.
Linda.
Yep?
It's gonna take me ten minutes
tops to clear this up.
If Annie calls, find me.
Okay.
Am I the only one
who sees this situation
as dripping with irony?
I don't see Auggie's guy.
There's another gate up here.
It's just ahead.
There.
I told you Auggie
would send somebody here.
Think we can make it?
They'll be watching the SUV.
We can't make
a direct approach.
Ryan!
This way?
Yeah.
One more to go.
We can make it.
He's got position.
We're sitting ducks.
If we give him up now,
we can save ourselves.
I'm sorry, Annie.
No, we are almost there.
We're so close.
He is a deadweight.
He's gonna get us killed.
Maybe he can help us.
Say "25-3" in clipped Russian,
or we're all dead.
Do it again.
Let's go!
Take him out of here.
Ah!
Grenade!
Ryan!
Hi.
You don't take no
for an answer.
I know your hesitation,
and I want to talk about that.
The intelligence committee file
on you
and your relationship
to your son, Teo Braga.
It also reveals the real reason
you resigned from the CIA.
There was no affair.
You did what was best
for the agency.
So you know the truth.
I got the committee to agree
to declassify it to the press.
How?
I'm good, Arthur.
All of this is a story
that your voters need to hear.
Now is the time to tell
that story on your terms.
And you'll win.
I'm listening.
Cell service
has been restored,
and I just need to speak
to Auggie.
He went to debrief
to deal with Deckard.
I can get him.
Wait, alert Calder
and the SPOs.
Langer's in the building.
- In here, Mr. Anderson.
- Deckard.
Auggie, I figured you were
still working on the ex-fil.
Yeah, I am.
They said you were down here
for a debrief.
They came and got me.
Didn't give me
a reason why.
They never do, I guess.
Hey, man,
you got to tell your boss
there's been some kind of snafu.
We can do this later.
I've been told to do this now.
What was that?
Hey.
Hey, you--
Get the door.
Get the door.
Get the door.
Hey!
Hey!
Get this door open!
Hey!
Deckard, you okay?
Momento.
I just off the phone
with Langley.
The hit you put out on Auggie
and Deckard was unsuccessful.
They're fine.
Langer's dead.
You sound satisfied.
It's not about satisfaction.
Then what is it about?
Revenge.
The Russians gave you up.
Now you can make them hurt.
The enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
Thank you, friend.
Joe, just the man
I was coming to see.
I need a face-to-face
with your boss.
It's funny
you should say that.
He and I were talking
about you earlier.
- Talking about me?
- Yeah.
He wants to see you too.
I took care of it, baby.
They told me when I joined
that I'd have to be willing
to give my life
for my country,
and I was because I thought
I understood what that meant.
I loved working for the CIA,
but it took a tremendous toll
on my personal relationships.
And after a while,
the job's all I had left.
I knew as long
as I was an operative,
that's all I would ever have,
and I want more than that.
Other than that...
Okay, I don't want
to die with regrets.
Thank you.
Auggie.
Tash.
You made it.
Hey.
Wouldn't miss it.
It all happened so fast.
I went to the DCI
to talk about Annie,
and he offered me this post.
And it sounded--
Amazing, and it is.
I mean, it's once in a lifetime.
But what about you?
Senate run?
There would be
public scrutiny,
enormous pressure on us,
questions at every turn.
Is it worth it?
I don't know.
What makes us so great
is what makes this so difficult.
Our jobs are risky,
and people I've loved have died
doing this kind of work.
You can do this job and die
and not do this job and die.
I don't want to lose you.
Then don't.
Thank you for coming in.
I know
you don't work here anymore,
so you're not obligated.
I'm going to head up
a major task force.
I'd like you to join me.
Me?
You, Annie Walker, because you
are dyed-in-the-wool CIA.
What about my heart?
I spoke with the DCI.
I told him that if the rules
didn't allow for you
to continue on, then the rules
needed to be rewritten.
A few months ago,
I would have done anything
to have this conversation.
I risked my health
and my life to keep this job.
I know.
I get it.
Sometimes it's easier
to want something
than to have something.
Auggie?
Hey.
What are you up to?
- Nothing. Come on in.
- Thanks.
What's going on?
Well, I have news.
You want some tea?
I'm leaving the Agency.
I wanted to tell you
in person.
What?
I turned in my paperwork
to support yesterday.
I, um...
I realized this life
gives me a lot,
but there's a price.
And I don't really know
anything else,
but I'm ready
to try something new.
Like what?
Natasha and I are gonna travel
the world together.
Be together.
I'm happy for you.
I'm stunned,
but I'm happy for you.
Thanks.
- Thanks.
- That's a bold choice.
Yeah.
I'm gonna miss you, Walker.
I'm gonna miss you too.
Something else going on?
I'm fine.
You sure?
I just have a lot
of big decisions to make.
And since when do you
have trouble making decisions?
I know, I'm the first one
out of the plane.
Yeah.
Mission decisions,
life and death--
I can do it in a split second,
but these are...
More difficult.
Close your eyes.
- Close my eyes?
- Wisdom of the blind.
Closed.
I want you
to look inside yourself.
I want you to try and feel
your instincts talking to you.
Your intuition has never
let you down before.
It won't now.
So trust it.
Trust your heart.
Got it.

Get some guys driving
around the neighborhood.
Put a call in
to the ambassador right now.
Hey, wait.
Also, put a vehicle
outside Recoleta cemetery.
That's pretty far
south of the slum.
Just do it.
Radio check.
Check.
Rooftops clear.
Last communication
between the Vegas
had one of them in the area,
the other on the far side
of the Villa.
I wish there was another way
to do this.
The only way out is through.
We're not gonna
let Belenko get killed.
Thank you for going along
with this.
When I told you I'd help you,
I meant it.
We made this decision together--
all in.
I got eyes.
Northwest, heading northeast
towards Belenko.
Should be on him
in three, two...
Annie, behind you!
They must have signaled
a coordinated retreat.
Belenko's gone.
You take that alley.
I'll take this one.
Belenko!
That's far enough.
There you are.
There's no need for that.
Walker, do you copy?
Walker, come in.
Walker, do you copy?
Why'd you save me?
You gave us
quite the scare there.
The first time we met,
I mentioned that Chinese proverb
to you about saving your life.
I wonder what the Chinese word
for "twice" is.
Leong tse.
You didn't answer my question.
Puedo?
Why did I save you?
Because the Russians
are smart and ruthless,
and they want me dead.
You're the only friend
I have right now.
I'm not your friend.
It's too strong a word?
Okay.
The enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
- Who's this family?
- I'm a diplomat.
I'm very good at convincing
people to do things.
I convinced them
to help me save you.
Oh, you don't have
to thank me right now.
Let it marinate.
Auggie, a few things--
one, a message
from Bill Butler at ICE.
He too chicken to talk to me
on the phone? Call him back.
He says
they're putting Natasha
on a flight this afternoon--
full immunity, no conditions.
All right, thanks, Linda.
Listen, I'm gonna
need real-time data analysis
on the Buenos Aires PD.
You don't want
to talk to Natasha?
Excuse me?
That's the other thing.
She's on line two.
You kind of buried the lede
there, Linda.
Hey.
So good to hear your voice.
Same here.
So I'll be in the states
by 4:00 today,
and I'm not sure
where I'm staying--
No, you come
to my apartment.
Okay.
But the only thing is,
I may not be home by then.
We're in the middle
of a work crisis here.
It has to do with everything
we've been dealing with.
I hear you.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
We've got embassy vehicles
canvassing Villa 31.
No visuals on Annie, McQuaid,
or Belenko,
but there's been reports
of gunfire.
I also heard from Maxim Gomelsky
that the FSB has deployed
a Vega force unit to Argentina.
Jesus.
Who do we have in the area?
There's not a ton of need
for paramilitary in Argentina,
and even if there were,
we can't send soldiers in.
Russia did.
Hey, Joe.
We're just going over
the situation in B.A.
I heard the rumors.
DCS wandering the halls
in a T-shirt.
Didn't think
they were actually true, but--
Just came in
from West Virginia.
So you're running
tactical missions now?
I'm taking initiative.
We have a potential windfall
in Aleksandre Belenko
within our reach
in Buenos Aires,
and you're going after
some low-level black bagger?
Allen Langer is not low level.
He's in league with Belenko.
Belenko kills by proxy.
Langer is a threat.
Who also happened to put
your girlfriend in the hospital.
What's this about, Joe?
Leadership.
Priorities.
Stephanie Banks
got us the Intel
that led us to Belenko.
She is now fighting
for her life.
We owe it to her, and we owe it
to all of our assets
to prove that the CIA will
hold up its end of the bargain.
That's leadership.
Put your suit back on.
Didn't expect that from you.
He was being a dick.
Besides, I know
you're gonna get the job done.
We should go.
You want to go back out there?
It's not gonna take long
for that Vega force to find us.
My gun?
Hey, you saved me.
Now let me help save you.
When this is over,
you are gonna help us.
You sound confident.
If the Russians don't
kill you, your condition will.
You don't have much time left.
You don't want
to spend it running like this.
I almost shot you.
I'm sure glad you didn't.
How'd you find us?
High school Spanish
and a fistful of cash.
Best guess is that the Vegas
are headed to the north side
near the container yard.
Then we should go south
towards Recoleta cemetery.
Auggie might send
a vehicle there.
Why do you think that?
Well, I've worked with him
for five years.
He tends to pick places
with multiple egress options,
plus he mentioned it.
Recoleta's not far from here.
Did you guys hear
Hollman cancelled poker night?
What's going on, you think?
Big situation in B.A.
DPD is in full-court press mode.
I got to jet.
Sir, this is FSO Bracken.
Bracken, talk to me.
I'm just wondering, sir,
should we continue this canvass
in the same way?
We've been driving around
like you ordered,
but we're kind of
flying blind here.
You and me both.
Sorry, sir?
Don't be.
Just keep
canvassing in that area.
The second I have more Intel,
you'll be the first to know.
I'll meet you there.
Auggie.
I know you're frustrated,
but we're gonna--
Frustrated?
Annie's been out of pocket
too long.
If she gets through this,
we owe it to her
to find her something here.
I can try to help her.
I can talk to the DCI, but she
has to want to come back.
Yeah.
Anderson?
Who's asking?
I'm Jones from polygraph.
Deckard's down there now.
The polygrapher wanted to know
if you wanted to be there
with him.
Polygraph--
why is he being polygraphed?
Hey,
I'm just the messenger, man.
All right, let's go.
Linda.
Yep?
It's gonna take me ten minutes
tops to clear this up.
If Annie calls, find me.
Okay.
Am I the only one
who sees this situation
as dripping with irony?
I don't see Auggie's guy.
There's another gate up here.
It's just ahead.
There.
I told you Auggie
would send somebody here.
Think we can make it?
They'll be watching the SUV.
We can't make
a direct approach.
Ryan!
This way?
Yeah.
One more to go.
We can make it.
He's got position.
We're sitting ducks.
If we give him up now,
we can save ourselves.
I'm sorry, Annie.
No, we are almost there.
We're so close.
He is a deadweight.
He's gonna get us killed.
Maybe he can help us.
Say "25-3" in clipped Russian,
or we're all dead.
Do it again.
Let's go!
Take him out of here.
Ah!
Grenade!
Ryan!
Hi.
You don't take no
for an answer.
I know your hesitation,
and I want to talk about that.
The intelligence committee file
on you
and your relationship
to your son, Teo Braga.
It also reveals the real reason
you resigned from the CIA.
There was no affair.
You did what was best
for the agency.
So you know the truth.
I got the committee to agree
to declassify it to the press.
How?
I'm good, Arthur.
All of this is a story
that your voters need to hear.
Now is the time to tell
that story on your terms.
And you'll win.
I'm listening.
Cell service
has been restored,
and I just need to speak
to Auggie.
He went to debrief
to deal with Deckard.
I can get him.
Wait, alert Calder
and the SPOs.
Langer's in the building.
- In here, Mr. Anderson.
- Deckard.
Auggie, I figured you were
still working on the ex-fil.
Yeah, I am.
They said you were down here
for a debrief.
They came and got me.
Didn't give me
a reason why.
They never do, I guess.
Hey, man,
you got to tell your boss
there's been some kind of snafu.
We can do this later.
I've been told to do this now.
What was that?
Hey.
Hey, you--
Get the door.
Get the door.
Get the door.
Hey!
Hey!
Get this door open!
Hey!
Deckard, you okay?
Momento.
I just off the phone
with Langley.
The hit you put out on Auggie
and Deckard was unsuccessful.
They're fine.
Langer's dead.
You sound satisfied.
It's not about satisfaction.
Then what is it about?
Revenge.
The Russians gave you up.
Now you can make them hurt.
The enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
Thank you, friend.
Joe, just the man
I was coming to see.
I need a face-to-face
with your boss.
It's funny
you should say that.
He and I were talking
about you earlier.
- Talking about me?
- Yeah.
He wants to see you too.
I took care of it, baby.
They told me when I joined
that I'd have to be willing
to give my life
for my country,
and I was because I thought
I understood what that meant.
I loved working for the CIA,
but it took a tremendous toll
on my personal relationships.
And after a while,
the job's all I had left.
I knew as long
as I was an operative,
that's all I would ever have,
and I want more than that.
Other than that...
Okay, I don't want
to die with regrets.
Thank you.
Auggie.
Tash.
You made it.
Hey.
Wouldn't miss it.
It all happened so fast.
I went to the DCI
to talk about Annie,
and he offered me this post.
And it sounded--
Amazing, and it is.
I mean, it's once in a lifetime.
But what about you?
Senate run?
There would be
public scrutiny,
enormous pressure on us,
questions at every turn.
Is it worth it?
I don't know.
What makes us so great
is what makes this so difficult.
Our jobs are risky,
and people I've loved have died
doing this kind of work.
You can do this job and die
and not do this job and die.
I don't want to lose you.
Then don't.
Thank you for coming in.
I know
you don't work here anymore,
so you're not obligated.
I'm going to head up
a major task force.
I'd like you to join me.
Me?
You, Annie Walker, because you
are dyed-in-the-wool CIA.
What about my heart?
I spoke with the DCI.
I told him that if the rules
didn't allow for you
to continue on, then the rules
needed to be rewritten.
A few months ago,
I would have done anything
to have this conversation.
I risked my health
and my life to keep this job.
I know.
I get it.
Sometimes it's easier
to want something
than to have something.
Auggie?
Hey.
What are you up to?
- Nothing. Come on in.
- Thanks.
What's going on?
Well, I have news.
You want some tea?
I'm leaving the Agency.
I wanted to tell you
in person.
What?
I turned in my paperwork
to support yesterday.
I, um...
I realized this life
gives me a lot,
but there's a price.
And I don't really know
anything else,
but I'm ready
to try something new.
Like what?
Natasha and I are gonna travel
the world together.
Be together.
I'm happy for you.
I'm stunned,
but I'm happy for you.
Thanks.
- Thanks.
- That's a bold choice.
Yeah.
I'm gonna miss you, Walker.
I'm gonna miss you too.
Something else going on?
I'm fine.
You sure?
I just have a lot
of big decisions to make.
And since when do you
have trouble making decisions?
I know, I'm the first one
out of the plane.
Yeah.
Mission decisions,
life and death--
I can do it in a split second,
but these are...
More difficult.
Close your eyes.
- Close my eyes?
- Wisdom of the blind.
Closed.
I want you
to look inside yourself.
I want you to try and feel
your instincts talking to you.
Your intuition has never
let you down before.
It won't now.
So trust it.
Trust your heart.
Got it.
