Designated Survivor (2016–2019): Season 2, Episode 10 - Line of Fire - full transcript

It's Christmastime and President Kirkman is alerted to a group of religious extremists who refuse to evacuate when a forest fire threatens to engulf their cabin. Deploying Emily and Aaron ...

Previously on
Designated Survivor...

Warehouse burns down,
dead body turns up, you're there.

Whatever you're mixed up in,
your hands better be clean.

The account in St. Lucia
in your name

that Eric Little opened is damning.

Unless Hannah Wells
can find the banker who set it up,

we cannot clear you.

If Lang confesses that
he was working at Lloyd's behest

to make it look like the First Lady
was getting a payola from Icarus,

we can clear her name.

I'm gonna hit the loo.
See you in a second.



Mr. Lang.

We just missed him.

Someone tipped him off.

You need to fire Foerstel.

He's doing his job.
Maybe not the way we want him to,

but I can't fire him for that.
If I did, who would I be?

My husband.

I ran Lang's cell phone.
You were right.

Somebody called him
right before you got to his condo.

Call came from 4th and H.

I'm gonna hit the loo.
I'll meet you there.

Hannah, where did you go?

What are you doing?

I was just gonna get some water.



I could use some myself.

Too much red wine.

You don't have to get me drunk
to take advantage of me.

Oh, you just can't handle
your alcohol, sport.

I'll get you some aspirin.

Wait.

I know a better hangover cure.

With dozens dead, billions in damage
and more than one million acres consumed,

the Shenandoah national forest fire's now
one of the worst in American history.

After weeks of battle, the question now is

whether the government
will finally throw in the towel.

No, the question now is whether doing so
will look like abject surrender.

It's an act of God, Lyor.

To most voters, the president is God.
God should be able to put out a fire.

This fire's lasted 26 days
and we've barely made a dent.

Seth, how would you make
this announcement?

I can have public engagement get quotes
from leading conservation experts

saying that letting the fire burn
is ecologically sound.

Okay, we're done,
we're gonna let this burn itself out.

- Prepare the statement.
- Yes, sir.

Aaron, we're about to announce
that we're pulling back.

Have we managed to get everybody
out of harm's way?

95% of it, sir.

National Park Service's going door-to-door
to clear the remaining holdouts.

I'll monitor the situation closely.

Okay, thank you for your hard work.
Finish up there and get back home.

- As soon as I can, sir.
- Okay.

Sir, we need you to evacuate now.

We're on a religious retreat.

I appreciate that,

but a command decision's been made
to let this fire burn itself out.

- How many are you?
- Twenty of us.

We can bring you down.

No, thanks.
We have our own transportation.

Then get moving.
Fire jumps that ridge, you're out of time.

Understood. Thank you, sir.

You know what to do.

They call themselves the Church
of the Witnesses of the Covenant.

It's a Christianity offshoot.

- A cult?
- Uh... evidence is to the contrary.

Few hundred members, taxpayers.

No legal problems, solid citizens.

If they're trying to barbecue themselves,
they're a cult.

You're an atheist, Lyor.

You think anyone who's God-fearing
is loony.

I'm actually agnostic, but I'll tell you
what I do believe:

letting 20 folks burn on federal land
during Christmas

is bad political mojo.

Also, the 20 people.

- How long's he been in there, Mike?
- Fifteen minutes.

These usually last 30 minutes.

This one will go longer.

He's getting every vet's
detailed deployment history.

We have to clear the decks.

♪ God rest ye merry gentlemen ♪

- Oh, boy.
- ♪ Let nothing you dismay ♪

- Sorry, girls. We'll find you later.
- Aw...

- You wanna pull him out?
- Not particularly.

You're the Chief of Staff.

You're right.
I'm ordering you to pull him out.

Ten-hut!

Secretary Pilson, what have you got?

Fire's crested Blackrock Gap.

Which means another 300,000 acres
are as good as lost.

How long till it gets down
to the bottom of the valley?

An hour, tops.

Unless the Forest Service continues
to deploy its assets.

But we're talking about putting
hundreds of people in harm's way.

To save 20 who can leave but won't.
It's not a great calculus, sir.

Either for the firefighters
or the churchgoers holed up in that cabin.

Are we absolutely positive
this isn't a hostage situation?

Doesn't appear so, sir.

The group's spokesperson is their deacon,
David Sheridan.

He says he'll only speak to the White House.

What leverage has he got to demand that?

The leverage of knowing that
I'm not gonna let 20 people die

just 'cause I wouldn't talk to them.

I don't think I have a choice.

Mr. President, I don't want you involved
in this. We need an emissary.

You're right. Aaron's already in the field.
Let's see if he can talk 'em down.

Mr. Sheridan, if you wanna talk,
we'll listen.

But this conversation needs to happen
away from here.

We're not afraid, Mr. Shore, but you
obviously are, so I'll get right to the point.

- Grace Morgan.
- I don't know who that is.

Our parishioner Carrie Morgan's
six-month-old baby girl

in custody of the federal government.

- For what?
- Medical treatment.

Grace has a rare
congenital heart condition.

And the medical intervention
that the doctors recommend,

it goes against Scripture.

You're refusing
to let her have the surgery?

No, sir.

We're insisting on honoring God's word.

- Where is Grace right now?
- At Walter Reed.

And as soon as the government releases her
to the custody of her mother,

we will come down off this mountain.

I have a bus waiting for anyone
who wishes to be transported to safety now.

Anyone who does
should go with Mr. Shore.

No one should be here
except of their own free will.

Sir, this negotiation will take time.
You have hours, maybe minutes.

Then I suggest you speak
to the appropriate authorities

because we've already convened with ours.

Yeah, this is Aaron Shore.
Put me through.

Mr. President,
we have a big problem.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Subpoena prep.

We need to huddle with Kendra this afternoon
before I head over to the FBI.

I cleared the decks.

Seth wants to move
the National Christmas Tree Lighting

to tomorrow afternoon
if that works for you.

Sure. Give the public a sunny image
in case it's a bad news day, right?

Something like that.

I'll be in the Oval if you need me.

Thank you.

Thanks for agreeing to see me.

Your daughter's beautiful, Carrie.

And so very sick.

They say Grace has tetralogy of Fallot.

Which means that not enough blood is getting
to her lungs, not enough oxygen.

She'll turn blue first.

And then, eventually...

None of that has to happen.

I've spoken with the doctors

and with open-heart surgery,
she at least has a chance.

- That's not an option.
- Why not?

Transfusions.

The Bible commands us
to abstain from blood

because only God is the giver of life.

The Bible also commands us
to heal the sick.

Yes.

But your choice would condemn her.

No. It would allow her to laugh and play
and grow up.

I understand why the president
sent you, Ms. Rhodes.

You know Scripture.

Which means you should know
none of those things matter

if we have to violate God's word
in order to attain them.

This is the test we face.

Honoring God when it's easier not to.

Grace doesn't know anything about a test.
She is just trying to breathe.

And I would give my life
to help her do that,

but she's in God's hands now.

Okay, thank you, Emily.
Keep me posted.

Surgeons are standing by,
but the mother won't give her consent.

Why do we need it?

A parent can't withhold lifesaving treatment
from their child

based on a religious compunction.
It's against the law.

It's not clear that it will work.

Open-heart surgery with transfusions
on an infant? It's risky.

If there is no guarantee of the outcome,
we're in a gray area.

Which means our religious faithful are staying
put in that cabin to keep the pressure on.

Aaron, how's it looking on the fire front?

Precarious. I just spoke to
the Parks Department union rep.

He's threatening to tell the firefighters
to stand down.

Mr. President. It's gonna be hard to control
the narrative on this one if it drags on.

Try impossible. Religious activists could slam
you for interfering with the mother's rights.

Children's rights activists will declare you
public enemy number one

if you let the baby die.

Kendra, do we have legal options
that will help us?

There's no legal prohibition
for standing in the path of a fire.

Well, unless you're barking mad,
which these people clearly are.

Clearly? No.
But we can challenge their competency.

If they're a danger to themselves,
we can forcibly remove them.

Which would clear the way
to operate on baby Grace

and solve our problem.

Aaron, I wanna speak to the man
who is leading these people.

- I'll set up the call, sir.
- Okay, thank you.

Chuck, I need to know
if Damian tipped off that banker.

If he did, he may be part of the plot
to frame the First Lady.

And he may be connected to Lloyd.

I can confirm two things.

Damian's SIM card proves

the call that tipped off the banker
came from his number.

And his phone was cloned.

Meaning what?

Someone could have used his number
in an attempt to make him look guilty.

- Okay.
- Or Damian cloned it himself

to throw us off the scent
in case he came under suspicion.

That's a pretty wild theory.

Hannah, how much do you really know
about this guy?

I know he helped me track down Patrick Lloyd.

- What else?
- I know you don't like him.

It's not about that.

I mean, yeah, I don't like him.

His smarmy British superiority,
the way he treats me like his valet...

- Chuck...
- There's something off about him.

I can't put my finger on it. But he's...

...suspect.

Thank you.

For what?

For always looking out for me.

But I can look out for myself.

Get me Detective Blakey.

Mr. Sheridan, you and your people
are in a very dangerous position.

I appreciate that, Mr. President.

Then please, come down.
We'll sit together and talk this through.

Will you release Grace to the custody
of her mother?

I don't have the legal authority to do that.

A federal court has decided that
in the best interests of the child,

she's to have the surgery
her mother is trying to stop.

Then, I'm afraid there's nothing for us
to talk about.

Sir, it's Christmastime.

We're supposed to be
celebrating the story of a child

that brings us together,
not pulls us apart.

Yes, sir.

But the Christmas story,
it's a story of faith.

There is no more appropriate time for us
to demonstrate ours.

I have been in touch
with the National Weather Service.

Rain is coming. But even with that
and everything we're throwing at this,

we will not be able to stop the fire
before it reaches you.

I understand.

And I'm in constant contact
with Carrie Morgan.

The moment that the government releases
baby Grace into her custody,

we will evacuate.

Not before. Thank you, sir.

Does he strike you as someone
who's lacking competence?

No. He's aware of the danger
and is choosing to ignore it.

Which means he doesn't fit
the legal definition of crazy.

Which means
we've lost our judicial option.

We need to start thinking outside the box,
shake the trees.

Find another solution
that will work for everyone.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

I just got back from the Shenandoah fire,
Detective Blakey.

I'm running behind, which means
I don't have a lot of time for you today.

I won't take much of it. I got a job
with the Bureau. Closing my case files.

Thought I'd leave you with something.

It's about Damian Rennett.
Security footage.

He's not a White House employee.

So Agent Wells informed me.

Problem is, he doesn't seem to be
anyone's employee.

British embassy won't answer questions
about him. White House won't.

All I can tell you,

he's been detailed here
to help on some investigations.

Here's what I can tell you.

That guy is bad news, Mr. Shore,
as in you shouldn't trust him.

Can you be a little more specific?

Video's pretty specific.
Merry Christmas.

You know what I learned
as a prosecutor?

The more a target reaches out,
the more they have to hide.

First Lady isn't reaching out. I am.
Lawyer to lawyer with an offer.

I'm listening.

You're on a mission to prove
that the First Lady is involved

in some bribery scandal
with Icarus Astrotech.

It's clear I won't stop you
from pursuing that.

- Correct.
- I wanna ask you something different.

Postpone your subpoena.
Continue your investigation.

You have my word
the First Lady will cooperate.

That's not an offer.
That's an admission of desperation.

The desperation is yours, Mr. Director.

You rushed your subpoena
so you could capitalize

on the pressure on the White House because of
the media coverage of the Icarus investigation.

Your presence here suggests
I've succeeded.

You're worried, Mrs. Danes.

I'm pragmatic.

You have nothing.
But you might strike a lucky blow,

catch her in some trivial contradiction
that you can exploit.

And to forestall that uncertainty,

you're offering a vague promise
of cooperation?

I'll specify it. We'll not oppose
any reasonable discovery request.

Not a single interrogatory or document request.

No, you'll use the additional time
to formulate a better defense.

We already have that defense.
The truth.

The more information you'll find,

the more you'll see the First Lady
isn't complicit in anything.

I have a counter offer.

That's the price for me standing down.

Take it to the First Lady.
Deal expires in two hours.

You wanna plead
to obstruction of justice?

To put an end to this investigation, yes.

Foerstel's offering me a no contest plea.

That's not an admission
of criminal conduct.

But legally
it's equal to a conviction, right?

Yes, but Foerstel's got the US attorney
to suspend any sentence

and to grant Mrs. Kirkman immunity from
any other events arising out of these facts.

There won't be other events.

Tom, I understand that
and so does Foerstel.

Tying me to a bribery conspiracy
will be a hard case to make.

But he's offering an obstruction plea

so that he gets to walk away with something
after all this

and I get to reduce risk.

What's her exposure if she walks away?

If today's questioning doesn't go well,

she'll be looking at an indictment
on a bribery charge.

I take the plea and we get to walk away
from this nonsense.

Innocent people don't plead.

Tom, we've been through
everything Foerstel has.

It paints a false but damning
circumstantial case of a conspiracy.

The best course is for me
to take the Fifth to everything.

That screams evasion.

Per our agreement with Director Foerstel,
the proceedings are sealed.

We all know how Washington works.

Eventually, it'll leak
and that will dog my wife's life forever.

Tom, Foerstel is a really smart guy.
I answer his questions,

he twists my words,
he exploits the inevitable ambiguities.

There is no perfect solution to this.

Maybe not, but there's the right one,
which is us fighting, you fighting.

No deal, no plea.

I'm dealing with 20 people who are holed up
in a cabin willing to die for their beliefs.

Here's what I believe in:
Your innocence.

And that's worth fighting for.
That's where I stand. Excuse me.

Please.

How long have you had these suspicions
about Damian?

Few days. Since I learned the banker
who tried to set up the First Lady

could've been tipped off by Damian.

But you don't think the intel
you've acquired so far is conclusive.

It's not. Especially if somebody
tried to clone his phone and set him up.

Detective Blakey gave me this video.

It's from the warehouse fire
that you two were in the middle of.

Yeah, Damian got there early, cut the fence.

No. If you check the time stamp,
he got there two hours before.

He cut the fence and walked through,

which makes him a prime suspect
for the arson.

Two hours before me?
There has to be some explanation.

There is evidence
Damian is working against our interests.

Now, you know that.

You come to me and try
to cast doubt on that evidence...

No. Aaron, I did not.

Come on, Hannah, I know you two are involved.

As national security advisor,

you don't think I know
what people in this building are up to?

Especially people who report to me?

Okay, so what next?

Damian helped us capture and kill Lloyd.
That much we know.

What we need to find out is why
he's trying to tank our investigation

into who's framing the First Lady.

But that "we" doesn't include you.
You're sitting this one out.

- Let me run a sting.
- No.

You think I'm compromised.

I know you're compromised,
which is why he was able to play you.

The fact is no one can get closer to him
than I can.

And now I have a score to settle.
Let me do this.

All right. Under my direction.

And you're on a short leash.

Dr. Rune, thank you very much for coming.

Your political director was quite insistent.

He knows talent when he sees it.
Please.

You have a remarkable background.
13 patents.

I've been told you were responsible
for groundbreaking work

in the use of artificial blood
in pediatric surgery.

Yes, sir.

Could you perform open-heart surgery
on an infant using your new techniques?

- Theoretically, yes. But I can't.
- Why not?

Every licensing board
has stripped me of my credentials.

I lost my license in DC in 2009
after I performed a liver transplant

using technology which had not yet
been approved by the AMA.

The patient survived.
My career did not.

We know that.

And Congress normally controls
the regulatory authority

over the District of Columbia,
except when it's in recess,

which it is, then it reverts back to me.

Based on everything I've read,
I'd be more than happy to reinstate you.

Sir, I believe in my research
and I'm confident in my abilities.

But medicine is like art.

The surgery will be very risky.
I can't guarantee an outcome.

I'm not asking you to.
I'm asking you to try.

Doctor, if you don't intervene,
this child will not make it.

- I will do my best, sir.
- Thank you.

The American public

wants to know why the president's
pandering to religion.

He's not.
He's honoring freedom of expression.

By caving to religious extremists?

By finding a solution
that respects individual rights,

but protects baby Grace.
It's called being president.

What do the hundreds of firefighters
he's putting in harm's way call it?

Their job.

- What's this?
- My people call it a present.

Open it.

Maui?

I put in for a week with the embassy.
Got us a beach-front room.

But I didn't get you anything.

Well, you still got time.

A good spy is skilled
at the art of deception.

What can I say?
My guard is down around you.

Wow.

Put it on.
You'll class up the joint.

Just don't wear it to Hawaii.
I don't wanna watch the clock.

Speaking of time, have you got an hour
for an afternoon diversion?

I wish I did.
I'm following a lead on our banker.

Yeah?

Yeah. I couldn't sleep last night.

I was up the whole night
working on my laptop.

But if I find anything,
I'll let you know, okay?

Mrs. Morgan, Emily tells me
you have concerns about the surgery.

Yes, sir.

How can I help?

Tell me this isn't a trick.

Mrs. Morgan, I consider myself
to be an honest man.

And as a person,
I understand your conflict.

But as a parent, I completely disagree
with what you've chosen to do.

I don't believe that religious text
is some inflexible doctrine.

I think of it more as a guideline.

If you ask me a question,
I will tell you the truth as I know it.

When I give you my word,
I give you my word.

Thank you, sir.

- The doctor will explain everything.
- Okay.

First, wind slows the fire's progress.
Now rain does.

Random atmospheric disturbances.

You're not buying this whole
divine intervention thing?

- Couldn't be buying it less.
- What part of you is agnostic?

The part that isn't sure

whether this is the most
boring conversation I've ever had.

Awash in holiday cheer, I see.

Let me ask you a question about Ramadan.

You got the wrong guy. I was adopted.
My last name's Wright.

Huh. I'm Jewish.

Yeah, Boone is the Americanization
of Baranowsky.

Look at that, see, we finally learned
something personal about each other.

- Yeah. Let's never do this again.
- Definitely not.

♪ Silent night ♪

- Sorry, girls. No time right now.
- Aw...

- Hello?
- Hey, Damian, it's me.

- I thought you were working.
- If you still wanna meet, I've freed up.

Sorry, I'm at the embassy.
See you for dinner?

Sure, see you then.

He's at the embassy.

British Embassy is on Massachusetts Avenue,
heart of DC.

The tracker in the watch you gave him
puts him in Arlington, Virginia.

Where I live.

Okay.

I can access your computer
through Remote Desktop Protocol,

but you'll need to put in your password.

Hannah.

You're toast, mate.

Hey. I just wanted to wish you good luck.

It seems like everyone is gonna
be needing that today.

Whatever you decide to do,

answer Foerstel's questions or not,
I know you'll make the right choice.

Thank you.

Alex...

I know these last few days
have been awful.

I'm just so angry
that they're doing this to you.

Whatever happens when you get back,

I'll take tonight off
and try and make it up to you.

Is that a promise?

Yeah, it's a promise.

I'll see you soon.

Chuck, can you run a plate?

I'm afraid we've hit a snag.

The heart-lung machine
that's pumping the artificial blood

is working as hard as it can.

But Grace is hypoxemic.

I don't understand.

Synthetic blood
is not as efficient as the real thing.

Her cells are not getting enough oxygen.

As surgery progresses,
she needs more, not less.

Meaning what?

I can't continue without hemoglobin.

Your daughter needs
a blood transfusion, ma'am. Real stuff.

Your blood type is AB negative.

Same as your daughter's.

Your blood might save her.

- Carrie.
- No.

You gave Grace life.
Why can't you give her your blood?

Because I can't.

You've already agreed to the use
of artificial blood to save her.

You're not gonna agree to use
your own? That doesn't make sense.

- You're trying to trick me.
- No, I'm not.

All I'm trying to do is save Grace.

And I know that's what you want, too.

Here she comes. Second car!

- Madam First Lady!
- Just two seconds!

How long have you been
under investigation?

Has the president known all along?

Is the White House counsel
defending you?

Are you going to plead?

What about Icarus?
Did you take a bribe?

Is the president involved?

I don't understand. There must have been
a dozen cameras there.

How did they know?
My testimony is under seal.

But your presence here is not.
Foerstel probably leaked it to the media.

So he's trying to hem me in.
Compel me to answer questions.

All these reporters,
I take the Fifth, it's gonna leak.

It's dirty pool, Mrs. Kirkman.
And you don't want to play.

- I have to.
- No, you don't.

Your appearance here was tied to
a condition that no longer exists.

- What? Secrecy?
- Yes.

Even if we can't connect Foerstel
directly to the leak,

no court is gonna find you
in contempt if we walk away.

Then what happens?
He re-issues the subpoena.

And you and I both know
we'll be back here.

Could be weeks, could be months.
But we will be back.

But Foerstel won't have that element
of surprise. It will be a fair fight.

No. I can't live like this. Not anymore.

One way or another,
this investigation ends today.

- You wanna unseal the proceedings?
- Yes.

- May I ask why?
- Does it matter?

If you expect a quid pro quo,
it does. There won't be one.

I won't limit the scope of the subpoena

simply because you agree
to make your testimony public.

I'm not asking you
to limit the scope of anything.

The subpoena, the bounds of decency.
Nor your ambition.

- I don't know what you think I did here.
- Oh, we both know what you did.

The question now
is what you're going to do.

Consider the proceedings unsealed.

Thank you.

How you doing?

There's a line of Scripture
I keep repeating.

"I will lift up my hand to the nations."

"And your daughters shall be
carried on their shoulders."

Isaiah. It's about salvation.

I'm interested in the part
about saving daughters.

Are you devout?

No. Nine years of Catholic school.

But I never... I never saw God there.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.

I see God in other places.

Like in a mother's love.

The doctor needs us.

Grace has been through a lot. We had
to repair her pulmonary valve as well.

She's gonna come through it.

- Would you like to see your daughter?
- Yes, please!

Get me the president.

Mr. President.

Baby Grace made it through surgery.
And she's well.

And none of her mother's beliefs
were compromised.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Mr. Sheridan, I kept my word.

- I need you to keep yours.
- Sir?

I need you and your people
to get out of there now.

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

It's been two hours since
First Lady Alex Kirkman

appeared at FBI Headquarters

in response to a subpoena regarding
the ongoing Icarus investigation.

- Mike, gonna need the motorcade.
- Sir?

I want to go to the hospital,
see that little baby.

Yes, sir.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Merry Christmas, Mike.

...First Lady's mother accepted
a bribe in exchange for privileged...

We don't want to sing that song.

Why not? I gave you the music.
You can read music, right?

Yes, but it's not a holiday song.

Look...

No one wants
to listen to you, okay?

Nobody.

So it's either my song or the door.

What's it gonna be?

And a one, two, three, four.

♪ Looking from a window above
It's like a story... ♪

Stop!

You're coming in a little hot there,
Freckles. Find your level.

And you...

You're pretty good. Keep it up.

And a one, two, three, four.

Thank you for appearing,
Mrs. Kirkman.

You are here in response
to a subpoena issued by my office

in connection with an investigation
into Icarus Astrotech, correct?

That is correct.

You understand there are no restrictions

as to the confidentiality
of your testimony,

- which will be public record.
- Yes, I do.

Do you wish to invoke
your Fifth Amendment rights?

No, I do not.

Good. Well, let's begin.
This is Exhibit A.

Point of procedure, Mr. Director.

Mrs. Kirkman would like to read
a statement into the public record.

Not necessary.

She'll have ample opportunity to speak
in response to my questions.

For the record, you are refusing
the First Lady's request?

Go right ahead, Mrs. Kirkman.

Thank you.

Based on an investigation
which was spurred by a document

uploaded by
the mass murderer Patrick Lloyd,

which pertained to my father's
heart transplant 30 years ago,

the FBI has now been investigating me
and my family for almost three months.

To date, that investigation has spawned

numerous document requests
and interrogatories.

A subpoena to my 70-year-old mother,
which was quashed and a subpoena to me.

Excuse me, Mrs. Kirkman,

your opinion on this investigation
has no relevance as to its merits.

- Can my client continue?
- No. She can answer my questions.

Let the record reflect
that Director Foerstel

refused to let Mrs. Kirkman
finish her statement.

Please finish up, Mrs. Kirkman. Quickly.

That investigation has involved
34 FBI employees

at a cost of $16 million...

- Where did you get this information?
- An FOIA request.

If it's inaccurate,
we're happy to amend the record.

- Your statement is now concluded.
- Almost. Almost.

At the inception of this investigation,

Director Foerstel formed
an exploratory committee for a senate bid.

Turn the recorder off.

He also formed
a political action committee.

You heard me. Turn it off!

- Hey.
- Hey.

We got the plates back
from the suspect's car,

the guy who met with Damian.

Why didn't Chuck
just give me this directly?

He thought it best you hear it from me.
He was right.

The car comes back to the Russian embassy.

The driver was Oleg Pushkin.
He's an attaché there. He's also FSB.

And it's not the first time
he's met with Damian.

I think you know where I'm going with this.

Damian is MI6.

Yes. He may have turned.

We never found a connection
between Patrick Lloyd and Russia.

Meaning whatever interest
Russia could have

in thwarting the Icarus investigation
that Lloyd started is a mystery.

Maybe Russia's just taking advantage
of the situation.

Destabilize our government
by making us chase our tail.

Or maybe we're missing something.

No, maybe I miss something.

I'm gonna bring Damian in and find out.

Hannah...

if this guy is who we think he is,
he's beyond dangerous.

That may be true, Aaron,

but no one is more dangerous
than I am right now.

This is my mess.
I will clean it up.

All right.
Put your team together.

So what is this big surprise?

That I know.

Know what?

About the warehouse fire.

Alfonso Lang. Oleg Pushkin.

- I don't understand.
- Yes, you do.

Okay.

Let's start from the top.
I saved you from that warehouse fire.

After you set it.

I trusted you. I really trusted you,
and you lied to me about everything.

I didn't lie.

Turn around.

Middle of a bridge. That's smart.

- Nowhere for me to go, right?
- I know where you're going.

- You're gonna be there a long time.
- Hannah.

Turn around
and put your hands on your head.

I need to show you something.
It'll explain everything.

I just need to reach into my pocket, okay?

- You reach for anything, you're dead.
- I have to, Hannah.

Damian.

Hello, Tom Kirkman's voicemail.

This is Tom Kirkman's wife,

who is no longer the subject or target
of a federal investigation.

I beat it.

We beat it.

And the only thing I wanna say to you
is I love you.
