The Company You Keep (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Truth Hurts - full transcript
Emma and Charlie partner with Daphne to produce a plan to take down the Maguires once and for all, but will the final showdown cause Charlie and Emma to stay on opposite sides or end up closer than ever?
- Previously on "The
Company You Keep"...
- Put out a couple of
feelers about the building.
- Whoa.
- Next Friday, a semi
loaded with 10,000 units
is gonna leave American Armory.
- We've got Maguire.
- But who's he selling to?
- You want to flip him.
- I put my family in
danger, myself in danger
to help you.
You know what? I'm done.
- Heard your dad and brother
cut you out of the
family business.
Help me burn it to the
ground, and I'll let you go.
- And I, for one, am
done putting on a show.
David, get out. Now!
- This is one part of the job
I definitely wouldn't miss.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
you're not actually considering
selling this place, are you?
- Completely legal
seven-figure payday?
I don't know, Bird.
I think we'd be crazy
not to consider it.
Plus, retirement is sounding
pretty good right about now.
- Guys, this bar,
this neighborhood,
this is who we are, right?
You don't walk away from that.
- We haven't made
any decisions yet.
- I... I don't...
We might finally get our
lives back to normal,
and they just want
to go and change it.
- They're never gonna do it.
- All right, let's see
what the big bad
Orioles did last night.
- Shaken this morning
following the news
of a car bomb that was detonated
outside of a TV studio
near Capitol Hill.
We await the official
word on how or why
the explosion took place.
- Uh, Charlie.
- While Mr. Hill is currently
in stable condition,
sources confirm an
unidentified female
was also in the car,
and she is in
critical condition.
Of course, we will
keep you updated
on the latest developments...
- Go. We got this.
- As they become available.
- If we just hadn't
gotten into that car...
- My car.
This wasn't meant
for you, David.
- Am I allowed to ask who's
trying to kill my sister?
- But I promise
I'll make them pay
for what they did to you both.
- Dr. Monica Park, please
report to the nurses' station.
Dr. Monica Park, please
report to the nurses' station.
- Um, I need to
check in with work.
Hi. I'm Dr. Park.
- This is for you.
- Paging me with a
three-year-old alias?
- I'm being tailed.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Seems like that cable
of yours hit a nerve.
- Because we called out the
Undersecretary of Defense?
- Maybe.
Dalton Bridges doesn't
have the authority
to downgrade my
security clearance.
- So someone even higher up the
food chain is protecting him.
What are they hiding?
- I'm putting out some discreet
feelers with people I trust.
You, watch your back.
- You too.
- Emma.
I thought you...
- It's okay.
I'm okay.
- This was the Maguires?
They're not gonna stop.
They're gonna keep coming.
We... we need to...
- Charlie, it's not on you.
That's why I made
the deal with Daphne.
I heard you when you said
you wanted your life back.
Now you have it.
- Hey, that was... that was
before they tried to kill you.
Let me help you, all right?
Not because I have to,
but because I want to.
- I have a tail.
Gray sedan, two
passengers backed in.
It's one of ours.
- Why is your own
agency following you?
- Because they'd rather
protect the Maguires
than protect one of their own.
- Do they still
think we're dating?
Best lies start with the truth.
- I guess there's
nothing unusual
about taking a few personal days
with my boyfriend.
- And while you're
taking a few days
to shake off an
attempt on your life...
- We shut down the
Maguire syndicate,
once and for all.
- Yeah.
- A bloody car bomb?
Huh?
- I did what you told me to do.
- I wanted you to deal
with our little problem,
to turn down the
heat from the feds.
Instead, you just
lit a bloody inferno.
- I didn't think that the
brother was gonna be there.
- That's just it, boy!
You didn't think, did ya?
You better hope that
senator doesn't die.
Because if your incompetence
jeopardizes my deal,
you won't be the only
one in the hospital.
- Your deal?
Seems like I missed
a lot on the train.
I was just trying to catch up.
- Slight change of plans.
We'll be paying your
armory man with crypto,
if that's all right with you.
- Of course.
So what are you thinking
for the exchange?
- The agency appreciates
your concern,
but Officer Hill is fine.
- Emma Hill hasn't
taken a personal day
since I started at this agency.
She is clearly not fine. The
Maguires tried to kill her.
- That's one theory.
There are others.
- So we're just gonna sit
on our hands and do nothing?
- No.
With Hill out, you
stay on the Maguires.
We need to recruit Patrick,
and I want options.
- Oh, my God. This is bogus.
- Watch your tone, Mason.
Watch it.
I know your old COS
kept things casual here,
but I take the chain of
command very seriously.
- So what did you do
to piss these guys off?
- Got too close to something
they don't want me to see.
- Mm.
Come on.
- You think they bought it?
- I mean, I almost did.
So this is the dream team, huh?
Three people in an apartment
against an entire
crime syndicate.
- Let's get to work.
- Okay.
We got 48 hours to
take down the Maguires,
all while the CIA
watches our every move.
For this to work,
we need two things.
First, we need Patrick
to implicate himself
at the exchange.
- Which won't be easy,
considering he's on high alert
from the botched car bomb.
- Don't look so torn up.
- And two, we need
to convince the FBI
to have the cavalry
standing by when he does.
- I've already
burned that bridge.
Singh's gone out on
a limb for me twice
with nothing to show for it.
- So we have two
targets, neither of whom
will be inclined to do
what we need them to do.
Okay, Charlie, what's the play?
- You didn't burn that bridge.
You just have to
make Singh believe
he is the only one
who can save you.
- Did anyone see you come in?
- I used a surveillance
detection route.
- ♪ Stay here now ♪
- What's going on, Emma?
- Just when he should
be walking away
and cutting his losses,
the chance that he's
still in the game with you,
oh, he's not going anywhere.
- Decommissioned arms in
exchange for drug money.
- ♪ Home right now ♪
- I'll get you Maguire
dead to rights.
I just need your people
standing by to take him down.
- Once you set the hook,
that's when you
play on his emotion.
- Emma.
- My own agency's
hung me out to dry.
I hate having to ask you, but...
- ♪ So don't stop now ♪
- I don't know
who else to trust.
- Yeah, I don't think
the damsel in distress
with the hand on the knee
is gonna work with Patrick.
- I would hope not.
- Ew.
The problem is, he plans on
staying away from the action,
monitoring the weapons
transfer via drone
and having Connor
deliver the crypto
in a separate location.
- What's he most afraid of?
- Losing control.
- You start by
reinforcing a narrative
he knows to be true.
- Where's Connor?
- Out with the boys.
- Night before our
biggest deal yet?
- Your fear will amplify his.
- Something to say?
- Connor worries me.
He lost you 10 million twice,
and now instead of
eliminating the heat on us,
he's only brought more.
- Then you offer a
solution that cuts
straight to the
core of that fear.
- We cannot afford for
anything to go wrong tomorrow.
Brad Willford knows me.
I should be the one
to do the exchange.
- He's not gonna
want to lose control.
- You're right.
I can't trust Connor
to close this deal.
- So he will choose the
only option he has left.
- ♪ I just want your touch ♪
- So I'll do it myself.
- ♪ Late at night
under neon lights ♪
♪ Nothing feels real ♪
♪ Nothing feels real ♪
♪ People change, but
the season stays ♪
♪ Nothing feels real ♪
♪ So don't stop now ♪
♪ Burn it all down ♪
♪ 'Cause I don't

♪ I just want your touch ♪
- Well, we got him,
hook, line, and sinker.
- Okay. So we're on
for tomorrow then.
- With the CIA none the wiser.
Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Hey, Mason.
- Hey, Em.
How you holding up?
I found this really cute bar.
I think you'd love it.
It's called the Collar Bar.
I'll wait down here.
You have exactly five
minutes to tell me why you
and Daphne Finch are hiding
in your boyfriend's place
before I call it
in to the office.
David! David! David! David!
- I guess voters found
your honesty refreshing.
- Listen, I know I owe
you guys an explanation
for everything I said
during the debate.
- You don't owe us anything.
And we never meant to make
you feel as though you did.
- If you don't want a
life in politics, David,
we support that.
We're just glad
that you're okay.
- So how long has
he been your asset?
- Since right after he warned me
that Daphne was coming
after my family.
- Why didn't you just tell me?
- I didn't want you
to have to choose
between me and your
loyalty to the agency.
- Well, the agency
hasn't been making it
super easy to be loyal.
Blythe seems more interested
in protecting the Maguires
than protecting you.
- It has something to
do with Dalton Bridges.
Whatever we've stumbled upon,
it goes way higher
than we realized.
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- On the house.
- The sister who don't like you?
- Yeah, but she's coming around.
- So this con man of
yours, do you trust him?
- I do.
- Okay.
So long as I'm
still in the inside,
let's see what Dalton
Bridges is hiding.
- Your plan is perfect, Charlie,
except for one thing.
Are we really gonna let
Patrick get taken away
with 20 million in his pocket?
- Unbelievable.
- Oh, come on.
It'd be a waste to give
that away to the feds.
I will be there
right beside him.
No one has to know,
not even your CIA girlfriend.
How'd you do it?
- Hmm?
- When you stole the
crypto wallet from us.
- Magic's no fun when
you know how it works.
- How'd you do it?
Okay, you used the fake FBI
raid to cover the trick.
Clever.
- Trick was easy.
It's the confidence you need
to make sure the other
person believes it.
So what, steal 20 million,
burn your father's
kingdom to the ground,
and then Disneyland?
Maybe I stick around.
You know, with a
little startup money
and that black book
you stole from me,
there's really no end to
what I could do in this town.
Do you believe it?
- Almost.
- Guess that's my cue.
- Gotta admit, Leo, I
was surprised you caved
and let Franny
talk you into this.
- I gotta admit, I'm
surprised that you convinced
not one but three
women to marry you.
- Jokes aside, you're
making the right choice,
finally taking care
of your family.
I respect that.
- Don't stir the
pot, Frankie. Jeez.
- Just hold up your end
of the bargain, Frank.
- Come on.
For me, it's all about
community revitalization.
The Collar Bar is at the center
of everything we have planned,
I promise.
- How do you really feel
about them selling this place?
- I mean, if I'm
honest, I don't love it.
You know, this is
my home, but...
my folks aren't
getting any younger,
and they say change
is good, right?
- Right.
- That bastard.
- He lied to you.
- He sure did.
- I'm gonna kill him.
- What's going
on? What'd I miss?
- Holly lifted the plans
from Frankie's investors.
Charlie, he's gonna
raze the block.
That's the "revitalized"
Collar Bar.
- Are you kidding me?
- Frankie and his investors
get away with this,
half the people we know will get
priced out of this neighborhood.
Our bar is just
the first domino.
- Eh, maybe not.
I'm working on
something upstairs.
What if we could kill
two birds with one stone?
- I love me a buy-one-get-one.
- All right.
What about a Montreal
merry-go-round,
like a cowboy switch?
- Great idea.
Don't have enough time.
- Would a city slicker
sucker punch work
with what's happening upstairs?
- Oh, he'd never see it coming.
Let me. I'm gonna enjoy this.
- Let's remind him
where he comes from.
- Well, they're in.
The only question is, are you?
- I could never say
no to you, Frankie.
- Leo?
- Let's do this.
- Wow.
You're getting
pretty good at that.
They still out there?
- Yeah.
Hey, you want to switch?
I feel bad taking
your bed again.
- Nah. It's a good couch.
I'll be fine.
- Liar.
- Yeah.
Except with you.
With you, I only ever wanted
to tell you the truth.
I mean, I told you who
I was the night we met.
- So did I.
- I'd never done that before.
- Me neither.
And then you tried to
tell me the truth again
when you warned me
about Daphne, and I...
- ♪ Go insane ♪
- I know I hurt you.
- ♪ For too long,
I bide my time ♪
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay. It's...
- No. It's not.
- ♪ I watch you
float on, float on ♪
- You're a good man.
- ♪ For too long,
I've been too fake ♪
♪ Pretend to be
all that you need ♪
♪ So tell me the
truth, my baby, baby ♪
♪ Is it me, is it you? ♪
♪ I say, I say, oh ♪
- Morning.
- Morning.
Hey, you know that
bakery on the corner?
Maybe we grab some coffee,
walk down to the Inner Harbor,
and watch the ships go out.
- And after that?
Matinee at the Charles.
Grab a few things at the
market and come back here
and make dinner.
- Sounds nice.
We'd better get going.
- Yeah.
- Lost visual.
- Hey, hey, hey, buddy,
you gotta move the truck.
- What?
- Just move the truck.
- Move the truck.
- Move the truck.
- All right. All
right. Calm down.
Calm down. You don't
have to say anything.
- They're still there.
- I could get used to this.
- Mm. Being a con man?
- Yeah. That's what I meant.
- Done and done.
- Congratulations, Nicolettis.
- Yes!
- This is cause for celebration.
- We gotta get back to New York.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We gotta break a little bread.
- We gotta take you
to the Bisque Barge.
Best crab cakes in Maryland.
- Uh...
- The Barge? I don't think so.
- Oh, don't tell me you've
forgotten your roots.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Me? What? No, I...
- Well, then, for
old time's sake?
Come on.
- For old time's sake.
- So how are you gonna get
Maguire and the other guns?
- By giving him something
he's not gonna expect.
I'm gonna tell him the truth.
- Guns are en route. 15
minutes out from the port.
It's time for you
to go meet Willford.
- Like you said, it's your deal,
so go close it.
- I'll go with.
- Nah. You stay with me.
Braden, you drive her.
- Let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Thanks for the tail slip.
- Yeah, no problem.
- It's the burner.
- Answer it.
- Hello?
- Hey, Brad.
There's a slight change of plan.
Mr. Maguire moved the location.
Okay, warehouse
7B, backside dock.
- What just happened?
- We've got movement.
Why is Daphne still headed
to the original location
if Patrick just moved it?
- He's setting her up.
Surprise.
I bet this wasn't part of
your grand plan, was it?
- Hey, do you like Houdini?
I love the guy.
I'm a huge fan...
- What are you on about?
- Just making conversation.
- Hey!
- Things are about to
get very confusing,
but I promise you,
from here on out,
I am only gonna
tell you the truth.
- Gotta say, I'm not loving
all these plan changes, Connor.
Hey, who are you?
Who am I?
Who are you?
- Seriously?
- Mr. Maguire, this
is Brad Willford.
- I met Willford.
That ain't him.
- It is him.
You're confused. I understand.
You see, I ran a
con on you last week
to make you think
that you both had met
when, really, you hadn't.
This is the real Brad Willford.
- The hell are you up to?
Where are my guns?
- I'll say it again.
I'm only gonna
tell you the truth.
You saw the drone footage.
- Pull it back up.
Pull it back up!
You switched the
trucks in the tunnel.
You stole my guns!
- You're only seeing
what you want to see.
Your guns are right in
that container right there.
- Then let's go have
a look, shall we?
'Cause your life
depends on it, boyo.
- Just... will someone tell
me what the hell's going on?
- You're coming with us.
- So you frame me
for the car bomb.
Then what?
I don't think you've thought
this through, Connor.
You see, if he's willing
to sacrifice the daughter
who threatened his
hold on the empire,
then why not the
son who threatens it
with literally
everything he does?
- Turn around.
Turn around!
- You do what you gotta do.
I just hope you see
what this really is,
because it was
never gonna be you.
It was always only
ever gonna be him.
- Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Drop it!
- No, you see, you're
not gonna shoot me
'cause the CIA doesn't do
things like that
anymore, does it now?
- Stop right there.
- Once you've taken a life,
you can see in someone's eyes
if they've got it in them.
You don't.
- I said stop!
- How much longer
is it gonna be?
The service here is terrible.
- Well, I'm sure they'll
be here any minute now.
- There's no paper towel.
Are there still no crab cakes?
Ugh, is that a needle?
- Jesus.
- Oh, that's
probably for insulin.
You know, diabetes
is such an epidemic.
- Maybe... maybe we
should get going.
- Are you kidding, Frankie?
You have to stay
for the crab cakes.
- Ugh.
- No, it's worth
the wait. I promise.
- Here they come.
Triad, Russian, and
Dominican raid units,
move in to your positions.
Everyone goes on my word.
- This is a bad idea, Patrick.
But the feds are watching.
- Not gonna fall
for that one again.
Open her up.
- I'm telling you, shouldn't be
anywhere near this container.
- Oh, come off it.
We both know this
container's empty.
- Told you.
- Can I have my money now?
- Shut up!
- You see, the
thing about Houdini?
There never was any illusion.
Everything he did was real.
- But there was another truck.
- Just another random truck.
The trick was,
there was no trick.
Told you the feds are watching.
- We gotta go.
- Now you've got a crypto wallet
full of drug money buying
a shipping container
full of illegal weapons.
Good luck with that, pal.
- Ha! Another fake FBI raid?
- I wouldn't do that.
- Fool me once, con man.
Which one's your old man?
- Was that a gunshot?
- No, probably just kids
setting off fireworks.
Now that doesn't
sound like fireworks.
- Are we safe?
- We should get
back to the city.
- Oh, oh, oh, okay,
so it's up and coming.
That's what makes
this such a good deal.
Wait a second.
- I wanted to scare
away the investors,
not start World War III.
I know.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey.
What's going on down there?
Is Charlie okay?
- I don't know.
- Man down!
- Further down!
- Drop it.
There's our ride.
- They're not gonna
let you leave.
You're more valuable than I am.
- Don't sell yourself short.
- Maguire!
- Charlie.
- There's one last trick.
- I'm done with you, boyo.
Charlie!
- Move, move, move!
- Hands up. Hands up!
- I'm CIA.
- Step back.
- Charlie.
Charlie.
Oh, my God.
Jeez.
- Subject is down.
I repeat. Patrick
Maguire is dead.
[helicopter whirring
- The mood is at a fever pitch
as supporters watch the
votes being reported.
Each batch of votes is
better than the last
for the David Hill campaign,
shattering pollsters'
predictions
of a neck-and-neck race.
- Hey, you.
How are you feeling?
- Like I got blown up.
- Coupled with the
attempt on his life...
- The doctors say...
- David.
You're winning.
- And now, as you can see,
it is a party over there.
- Why are you here?
You should be there.
- If you're in downtown...
- I'm right where I need to be.
- You're just... you're done?
- I'm done pretending
to be someone I'm not.
This job has morphed into 10%
doing the right thing
and 90% BS.
And I'm not cut out for the BS.
- What if you could be
the first politician
with nothing to lose?
- Thank you.
If you hadn't been there...
- I know. I know.
But I was.
- You were.
- Hey. How's the chest?
- It hurts, but I'll survive.
- I don't like it when
you do the hero stuff.
- I know.
- How you doing there, Frankie?
- How am I doing?
The investors backed out.
But I guess you know
that already, don't you.
- Oh, no. Really? Why?
- Cut the crap, Nicolettis.
I know you spooked
them on purpose.
- Now, why on Earth
would we do that?
- Oh, let's see,
maybe because you knew
if they backed out,
you'd get to keep the
10% escrow deposit.
- My God. That's right.
That's like, what,
like, 450k, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Why screw me over?
I came from this
neighborhood. I'm one of you.
- One of us
would never raze
the entire block.
We saw the plans, Frankie.
You lied to us. To me.
- Oh, excuse me for
trying to help you.
We both know you
deserve more than this.
- Give it a rest.
- You ain't better than me.
What? Do you think
you're like them?
Your fancy New York investors?
You want the hard truth?
I'll give you the
hard truth, Frankie.
You're not.
But that's how they play it.
They convince guys like you
to turn against their own.
And they try to
convince the rest of us
that if we just pull ourselves
up by our bootstraps,
we can join their little club.
But it's a trick, Frank.
It's an illusion.
That's how the rich get richer,
and that's how
they keep us down,
by dividing us while we
fight over their scraps,
never having enough
time to realize
that the deck has always
been stacked against us.
So you spare me your outrage,
because I'm busy
protecting my own.
- I will drink to that.
- Guess this is it.
- Guess so.
I...
I knew it.
- Knew what?
- Dalton Bridges.
Turns out he's getting kickbacks
in the form of a
highly paid board seat
in a bogus corporation.
- Wait, wait. Go back.
I know that guy.
A money launderer.
Yeah, crossed paths
with him a few jobs ago.
- Hey.
What if we kept doing this?
Working together.
Being together.
And we could figure out
who's pulling the strings,
what they're hiding, clean
up the rot in the CIA.
- Emma.
- I could formalize
you with the agency.
- No.
Emma, I can't.
No.
You're asking me to be
someone that I'm not.
The people my family target,
they don't fight fair,
so neither can I.
That's where you
and I are different.
- I know, but...
Charlie, I love you.
- I love you too.
I do.
But that's...
It's not gonna be enough.
We're on opposite
sides of the line.
There's no world where
you can be who you are
and I can be who I am
and we can be together.
We both know it.
- I think I liked it better
when you were a yoga instructor
and I was a rocket scientist.
- So did I.
- I don't think we're honest
with ourselves enough.
Let me ask you guys something.
What if our political
system wasn't bought
and paid for by
corporate America?
What if politicians
weren't beholden to
endless campaign cycles
but free to do what our voters
actually elected us to do?
I don't know about you guys,
but I want to find out,
which is why I'm announcing
I will be a one-term
senator only,
free from any obligations,
except to the people
who put me here.
- So let me get this straight.
You take personal days
to moonlight for other agencies?
- I was doing what I
thought I took an oath to do
with whoever was
willing to help.
- You lied to your own agency
and contravened a direct order.
- So no "thank you" for taking
a massive amount of guns
and drugs off the streets?
- You're simply too naive to
understand we're trying...
- No.
I think I'm too
naive to work here.

- No turning back now.
- I can't even believe
we're doing this.
A covert unit,
spying on the spies?
- If this is gonna work,
everything has to
be off the books.
No records. No funding.
- I have got the
funding covered.
- Move, move, move!
- Hands up. Hands up.
- I'm CIA.
- I joined the agency
to do what's right
because I thought that's
where it was done.
But you've gotta play
the cards you're dealt.
- Won't be easy.
Three of us going against
the entire agency?
I can do what I can
from the inside, but...
- It doesn't have to be just us.
Hill, do you still have that
asset you never reported?
- That felt good.
- What's that?
- Sticking it to Frankie,
taking care of our own.
You want to hear
something weird?
- Yeah.
- So we finally get
our lives back, right?
All of a sudden, it
doesn't feel right anymore,
just going back to
the way things were.
- You know, I keep thinking
about what Pop said.
How the deck is stacked
against folks like us.
- So what if we could
do something about that?
What if we set our
sights a little higher?
- So keep doing what
it is we do best,
just maybe not
always about money?
- Maybe it's about
leveling the playing field,
not just for our family.
- For everyone else.
- For Pike.
- Shelby.
- Father Diego.
- Otto.
- Everybody.
What do you think about that?
- I mean, if not us, then who?
- Relationships.
What a racket.
Information on that
money launderer.
- Thanks.
- Heard you quit your job.
- Did you?
- Yeah, I did.
- Maybe best not to ask each
other too many questions.
- Now more than ever, huh?
- But no reason why
a yoga instructor
and a rocket scientist can't
share a drink from time to time.
- I don't see why not.
- Is that your mark?
- You said no questions.
- She's cute.
- She's not my type.
Company You Keep"...
- Put out a couple of
feelers about the building.
- Whoa.
- Next Friday, a semi
loaded with 10,000 units
is gonna leave American Armory.
- We've got Maguire.
- But who's he selling to?
- You want to flip him.
- I put my family in
danger, myself in danger
to help you.
You know what? I'm done.
- Heard your dad and brother
cut you out of the
family business.
Help me burn it to the
ground, and I'll let you go.
- And I, for one, am
done putting on a show.
David, get out. Now!
- This is one part of the job
I definitely wouldn't miss.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
you're not actually considering
selling this place, are you?
- Completely legal
seven-figure payday?
I don't know, Bird.
I think we'd be crazy
not to consider it.
Plus, retirement is sounding
pretty good right about now.
- Guys, this bar,
this neighborhood,
this is who we are, right?
You don't walk away from that.
- We haven't made
any decisions yet.
- I... I don't...
We might finally get our
lives back to normal,
and they just want
to go and change it.
- They're never gonna do it.
- All right, let's see
what the big bad
Orioles did last night.
- Shaken this morning
following the news
of a car bomb that was detonated
outside of a TV studio
near Capitol Hill.
We await the official
word on how or why
the explosion took place.
- Uh, Charlie.
- While Mr. Hill is currently
in stable condition,
sources confirm an
unidentified female
was also in the car,
and she is in
critical condition.
Of course, we will
keep you updated
on the latest developments...
- Go. We got this.
- As they become available.
- If we just hadn't
gotten into that car...
- My car.
This wasn't meant
for you, David.
- Am I allowed to ask who's
trying to kill my sister?
- But I promise
I'll make them pay
for what they did to you both.
- Dr. Monica Park, please
report to the nurses' station.
Dr. Monica Park, please
report to the nurses' station.
- Um, I need to
check in with work.
Hi. I'm Dr. Park.
- This is for you.
- Paging me with a
three-year-old alias?
- I'm being tailed.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Seems like that cable
of yours hit a nerve.
- Because we called out the
Undersecretary of Defense?
- Maybe.
Dalton Bridges doesn't
have the authority
to downgrade my
security clearance.
- So someone even higher up the
food chain is protecting him.
What are they hiding?
- I'm putting out some discreet
feelers with people I trust.
You, watch your back.
- You too.
- Emma.
I thought you...
- It's okay.
I'm okay.
- This was the Maguires?
They're not gonna stop.
They're gonna keep coming.
We... we need to...
- Charlie, it's not on you.
That's why I made
the deal with Daphne.
I heard you when you said
you wanted your life back.
Now you have it.
- Hey, that was... that was
before they tried to kill you.
Let me help you, all right?
Not because I have to,
but because I want to.
- I have a tail.
Gray sedan, two
passengers backed in.
It's one of ours.
- Why is your own
agency following you?
- Because they'd rather
protect the Maguires
than protect one of their own.
- Do they still
think we're dating?
Best lies start with the truth.
- I guess there's
nothing unusual
about taking a few personal days
with my boyfriend.
- And while you're
taking a few days
to shake off an
attempt on your life...
- We shut down the
Maguire syndicate,
once and for all.
- Yeah.
- A bloody car bomb?
Huh?
- I did what you told me to do.
- I wanted you to deal
with our little problem,
to turn down the
heat from the feds.
Instead, you just
lit a bloody inferno.
- I didn't think that the
brother was gonna be there.
- That's just it, boy!
You didn't think, did ya?
You better hope that
senator doesn't die.
Because if your incompetence
jeopardizes my deal,
you won't be the only
one in the hospital.
- Your deal?
Seems like I missed
a lot on the train.
I was just trying to catch up.
- Slight change of plans.
We'll be paying your
armory man with crypto,
if that's all right with you.
- Of course.
So what are you thinking
for the exchange?
- The agency appreciates
your concern,
but Officer Hill is fine.
- Emma Hill hasn't
taken a personal day
since I started at this agency.
She is clearly not fine. The
Maguires tried to kill her.
- That's one theory.
There are others.
- So we're just gonna sit
on our hands and do nothing?
- No.
With Hill out, you
stay on the Maguires.
We need to recruit Patrick,
and I want options.
- Oh, my God. This is bogus.
- Watch your tone, Mason.
Watch it.
I know your old COS
kept things casual here,
but I take the chain of
command very seriously.
- So what did you do
to piss these guys off?
- Got too close to something
they don't want me to see.
- Mm.
Come on.
- You think they bought it?
- I mean, I almost did.
So this is the dream team, huh?
Three people in an apartment
against an entire
crime syndicate.
- Let's get to work.
- Okay.
We got 48 hours to
take down the Maguires,
all while the CIA
watches our every move.
For this to work,
we need two things.
First, we need Patrick
to implicate himself
at the exchange.
- Which won't be easy,
considering he's on high alert
from the botched car bomb.
- Don't look so torn up.
- And two, we need
to convince the FBI
to have the cavalry
standing by when he does.
- I've already
burned that bridge.
Singh's gone out on
a limb for me twice
with nothing to show for it.
- So we have two
targets, neither of whom
will be inclined to do
what we need them to do.
Okay, Charlie, what's the play?
- You didn't burn that bridge.
You just have to
make Singh believe
he is the only one
who can save you.
- Did anyone see you come in?
- I used a surveillance
detection route.
- ♪ Stay here now ♪
- What's going on, Emma?
- Just when he should
be walking away
and cutting his losses,
the chance that he's
still in the game with you,
oh, he's not going anywhere.
- Decommissioned arms in
exchange for drug money.
- ♪ Home right now ♪
- I'll get you Maguire
dead to rights.
I just need your people
standing by to take him down.
- Once you set the hook,
that's when you
play on his emotion.
- Emma.
- My own agency's
hung me out to dry.
I hate having to ask you, but...
- ♪ So don't stop now ♪
- I don't know
who else to trust.
- Yeah, I don't think
the damsel in distress
with the hand on the knee
is gonna work with Patrick.
- I would hope not.
- Ew.
The problem is, he plans on
staying away from the action,
monitoring the weapons
transfer via drone
and having Connor
deliver the crypto
in a separate location.
- What's he most afraid of?
- Losing control.
- You start by
reinforcing a narrative
he knows to be true.
- Where's Connor?
- Out with the boys.
- Night before our
biggest deal yet?
- Your fear will amplify his.
- Something to say?
- Connor worries me.
He lost you 10 million twice,
and now instead of
eliminating the heat on us,
he's only brought more.
- Then you offer a
solution that cuts
straight to the
core of that fear.
- We cannot afford for
anything to go wrong tomorrow.
Brad Willford knows me.
I should be the one
to do the exchange.
- He's not gonna
want to lose control.
- You're right.
I can't trust Connor
to close this deal.
- So he will choose the
only option he has left.

- Okay. So we're on
for tomorrow then.
- With the CIA none the wiser.
Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Hey, Mason.
- Hey, Em.
How you holding up?
I found this really cute bar.
I think you'd love it.
It's called the Collar Bar.
I'll wait down here.
You have exactly five
minutes to tell me why you
and Daphne Finch are hiding
in your boyfriend's place
before I call it
in to the office.
David! David! David! David!
- I guess voters found
your honesty refreshing.
- Listen, I know I owe
you guys an explanation
for everything I said
during the debate.
- You don't owe us anything.
And we never meant to make
you feel as though you did.
- If you don't want a
life in politics, David,
we support that.
We're just glad
that you're okay.
- So how long has
he been your asset?
- Since right after he warned me
that Daphne was coming
after my family.
- Why didn't you just tell me?
- I didn't want you
to have to choose
between me and your
loyalty to the agency.
- Well, the agency
hasn't been making it
super easy to be loyal.
Blythe seems more interested
in protecting the Maguires
than protecting you.
- It has something to
do with Dalton Bridges.
Whatever we've stumbled upon,
it goes way higher
than we realized.
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- On the house.
- The sister who don't like you?
- Yeah, but she's coming around.
- So this con man of
yours, do you trust him?
- I do.
- Okay.
So long as I'm
still in the inside,
let's see what Dalton
Bridges is hiding.
- Your plan is perfect, Charlie,
except for one thing.
Are we really gonna let
Patrick get taken away
with 20 million in his pocket?
- Unbelievable.
- Oh, come on.
It'd be a waste to give
that away to the feds.
I will be there
right beside him.
No one has to know,
not even your CIA girlfriend.
How'd you do it?
- Hmm?
- When you stole the
crypto wallet from us.
- Magic's no fun when
you know how it works.
- How'd you do it?
Okay, you used the fake FBI
raid to cover the trick.
Clever.
- Trick was easy.
It's the confidence you need
to make sure the other
person believes it.
So what, steal 20 million,
burn your father's
kingdom to the ground,
and then Disneyland?
Maybe I stick around.
You know, with a
little startup money
and that black book
you stole from me,
there's really no end to
what I could do in this town.
Do you believe it?
- Almost.
- Guess that's my cue.
- Gotta admit, Leo, I
was surprised you caved
and let Franny
talk you into this.
- I gotta admit, I'm
surprised that you convinced
not one but three
women to marry you.
- Jokes aside, you're
making the right choice,
finally taking care
of your family.
I respect that.
- Don't stir the
pot, Frankie. Jeez.
- Just hold up your end
of the bargain, Frank.
- Come on.
For me, it's all about
community revitalization.
The Collar Bar is at the center
of everything we have planned,
I promise.
- How do you really feel
about them selling this place?
- I mean, if I'm
honest, I don't love it.
You know, this is
my home, but...
my folks aren't
getting any younger,
and they say change
is good, right?
- Right.
- That bastard.
- He lied to you.
- He sure did.
- I'm gonna kill him.
- What's going
on? What'd I miss?
- Holly lifted the plans
from Frankie's investors.
Charlie, he's gonna
raze the block.
That's the "revitalized"
Collar Bar.
- Are you kidding me?
- Frankie and his investors
get away with this,
half the people we know will get
priced out of this neighborhood.
Our bar is just
the first domino.
- Eh, maybe not.
I'm working on
something upstairs.
What if we could kill
two birds with one stone?
- I love me a buy-one-get-one.
- All right.
What about a Montreal
merry-go-round,
like a cowboy switch?
- Great idea.
Don't have enough time.
- Would a city slicker
sucker punch work
with what's happening upstairs?
- Oh, he'd never see it coming.
Let me. I'm gonna enjoy this.
- Let's remind him
where he comes from.
- Well, they're in.
The only question is, are you?
- I could never say
no to you, Frankie.
- Leo?
- Let's do this.
- Wow.
You're getting
pretty good at that.
They still out there?
- Yeah.
Hey, you want to switch?
I feel bad taking
your bed again.
- Nah. It's a good couch.
I'll be fine.
- Liar.
- Yeah.
Except with you.
With you, I only ever wanted
to tell you the truth.
I mean, I told you who
I was the night we met.
- So did I.
- I'd never done that before.
- Me neither.
And then you tried to
tell me the truth again
when you warned me
about Daphne, and I...

- I know I hurt you.

- Morning.
- Morning.
Hey, you know that
bakery on the corner?
Maybe we grab some coffee,
walk down to the Inner Harbor,
and watch the ships go out.
- And after that?
Matinee at the Charles.
Grab a few things at the
market and come back here
and make dinner.
- Sounds nice.
We'd better get going.
- Yeah.
- Lost visual.
- Hey, hey, hey, buddy,
you gotta move the truck.
- What?
- Just move the truck.
- Move the truck.
- Move the truck.
- All right. All
right. Calm down.
Calm down. You don't
have to say anything.
- They're still there.
- I could get used to this.
- Mm. Being a con man?
- Yeah. That's what I meant.
- Done and done.
- Congratulations, Nicolettis.
- Yes!
- This is cause for celebration.
- We gotta get back to New York.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We gotta break a little bread.
- We gotta take you
to the Bisque Barge.
Best crab cakes in Maryland.
- Uh...
- The Barge? I don't think so.
- Oh, don't tell me you've
forgotten your roots.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Me? What? No, I...
- Well, then, for
old time's sake?
Come on.
- For old time's sake.
- So how are you gonna get
Maguire and the other guns?
- By giving him something
he's not gonna expect.
I'm gonna tell him the truth.
- Guns are en route. 15
minutes out from the port.
It's time for you
to go meet Willford.
- Like you said, it's your deal,
so go close it.
- I'll go with.
- Nah. You stay with me.
Braden, you drive her.
- Let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Thanks for the tail slip.
- Yeah, no problem.
- It's the burner.
- Answer it.
- Hello?
- Hey, Brad.
There's a slight change of plan.
Mr. Maguire moved the location.
Okay, warehouse
7B, backside dock.
- What just happened?
- We've got movement.
Why is Daphne still headed
to the original location
if Patrick just moved it?
- He's setting her up.
Surprise.
I bet this wasn't part of
your grand plan, was it?
- Hey, do you like Houdini?
I love the guy.
I'm a huge fan...
- What are you on about?
- Just making conversation.
- Hey!
- Things are about to
get very confusing,
but I promise you,
from here on out,
I am only gonna
tell you the truth.
- Gotta say, I'm not loving
all these plan changes, Connor.
Hey, who are you?
Who am I?
Who are you?
- Seriously?
- Mr. Maguire, this
is Brad Willford.
- I met Willford.
That ain't him.
- It is him.
You're confused. I understand.
You see, I ran a
con on you last week
to make you think
that you both had met
when, really, you hadn't.
This is the real Brad Willford.
- The hell are you up to?
Where are my guns?
- I'll say it again.
I'm only gonna
tell you the truth.
You saw the drone footage.
- Pull it back up.
Pull it back up!
You switched the
trucks in the tunnel.
You stole my guns!
- You're only seeing
what you want to see.
Your guns are right in
that container right there.
- Then let's go have
a look, shall we?
'Cause your life
depends on it, boyo.
- Just... will someone tell
me what the hell's going on?
- You're coming with us.
- So you frame me
for the car bomb.
Then what?
I don't think you've thought
this through, Connor.
You see, if he's willing
to sacrifice the daughter
who threatened his
hold on the empire,
then why not the
son who threatens it
with literally
everything he does?
- Turn around.
Turn around!
- You do what you gotta do.
I just hope you see
what this really is,
because it was
never gonna be you.
It was always only
ever gonna be him.
- Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Drop it!
- No, you see, you're
not gonna shoot me
'cause the CIA doesn't do
things like that
anymore, does it now?
- Stop right there.
- Once you've taken a life,
you can see in someone's eyes
if they've got it in them.
You don't.
- I said stop!
- How much longer
is it gonna be?
The service here is terrible.
- Well, I'm sure they'll
be here any minute now.
- There's no paper towel.
Are there still no crab cakes?
Ugh, is that a needle?
- Jesus.
- Oh, that's
probably for insulin.
You know, diabetes
is such an epidemic.
- Maybe... maybe we
should get going.
- Are you kidding, Frankie?
You have to stay
for the crab cakes.
- Ugh.
- No, it's worth
the wait. I promise.
- Here they come.
Triad, Russian, and
Dominican raid units,
move in to your positions.
Everyone goes on my word.
- This is a bad idea, Patrick.
But the feds are watching.
- Not gonna fall
for that one again.
Open her up.
- I'm telling you, shouldn't be
anywhere near this container.
- Oh, come off it.
We both know this
container's empty.
- Told you.
- Can I have my money now?
- Shut up!
- You see, the
thing about Houdini?
There never was any illusion.
Everything he did was real.
- But there was another truck.
- Just another random truck.
The trick was,
there was no trick.
Told you the feds are watching.
- We gotta go.
- Now you've got a crypto wallet
full of drug money buying
a shipping container
full of illegal weapons.
Good luck with that, pal.
- Ha! Another fake FBI raid?
- I wouldn't do that.
- Fool me once, con man.
Which one's your old man?
- Was that a gunshot?
- No, probably just kids
setting off fireworks.
Now that doesn't
sound like fireworks.
- Are we safe?
- We should get
back to the city.
- Oh, oh, oh, okay,
so it's up and coming.
That's what makes
this such a good deal.
Wait a second.
- I wanted to scare
away the investors,
not start World War III.
I know.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey.
What's going on down there?
Is Charlie okay?
- I don't know.
- Man down!
- Further down!
- Drop it.
There's our ride.
- They're not gonna
let you leave.
You're more valuable than I am.
- Don't sell yourself short.
- Maguire!
- Charlie.
- There's one last trick.
- I'm done with you, boyo.
Charlie!
- Move, move, move!
- Hands up. Hands up!
- I'm CIA.
- Step back.
- Charlie.
Charlie.
Oh, my God.
Jeez.
- Subject is down.
I repeat. Patrick
Maguire is dead.
[helicopter whirring
- The mood is at a fever pitch
as supporters watch the
votes being reported.
Each batch of votes is
better than the last
for the David Hill campaign,
shattering pollsters'
predictions
of a neck-and-neck race.
- Hey, you.
How are you feeling?
- Like I got blown up.
- Coupled with the
attempt on his life...
- The doctors say...
- David.
You're winning.
- And now, as you can see,
it is a party over there.
- Why are you here?
You should be there.
- If you're in downtown...
- I'm right where I need to be.
- You're just... you're done?
- I'm done pretending
to be someone I'm not.
This job has morphed into 10%
doing the right thing
and 90% BS.
And I'm not cut out for the BS.
- What if you could be
the first politician
with nothing to lose?
- Thank you.
If you hadn't been there...
- I know. I know.
But I was.
- You were.
- Hey. How's the chest?
- It hurts, but I'll survive.
- I don't like it when
you do the hero stuff.
- I know.
- How you doing there, Frankie?
- How am I doing?
The investors backed out.
But I guess you know
that already, don't you.
- Oh, no. Really? Why?
- Cut the crap, Nicolettis.
I know you spooked
them on purpose.
- Now, why on Earth
would we do that?
- Oh, let's see,
maybe because you knew
if they backed out,
you'd get to keep the
10% escrow deposit.
- My God. That's right.
That's like, what,
like, 450k, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Why screw me over?
I came from this
neighborhood. I'm one of you.
- One of us
would never raze
the entire block.
We saw the plans, Frankie.
You lied to us. To me.
- Oh, excuse me for
trying to help you.
We both know you
deserve more than this.
- Give it a rest.
- You ain't better than me.
What? Do you think
you're like them?
Your fancy New York investors?
You want the hard truth?
I'll give you the
hard truth, Frankie.
You're not.
But that's how they play it.
They convince guys like you
to turn against their own.
And they try to
convince the rest of us
that if we just pull ourselves
up by our bootstraps,
we can join their little club.
But it's a trick, Frank.
It's an illusion.
That's how the rich get richer,
and that's how
they keep us down,
by dividing us while we
fight over their scraps,
never having enough
time to realize
that the deck has always
been stacked against us.
So you spare me your outrage,
because I'm busy
protecting my own.
- I will drink to that.
- Guess this is it.
- Guess so.
I...
I knew it.
- Knew what?
- Dalton Bridges.
Turns out he's getting kickbacks
in the form of a
highly paid board seat
in a bogus corporation.
- Wait, wait. Go back.
I know that guy.
A money launderer.
Yeah, crossed paths
with him a few jobs ago.
- Hey.
What if we kept doing this?
Working together.
Being together.
And we could figure out
who's pulling the strings,
what they're hiding, clean
up the rot in the CIA.
- Emma.
- I could formalize
you with the agency.
- No.
Emma, I can't.
No.
You're asking me to be
someone that I'm not.
The people my family target,
they don't fight fair,
so neither can I.
That's where you
and I are different.
- I know, but...
Charlie, I love you.
- I love you too.
I do.
But that's...
It's not gonna be enough.
We're on opposite
sides of the line.
There's no world where
you can be who you are
and I can be who I am
and we can be together.
We both know it.
- I think I liked it better
when you were a yoga instructor
and I was a rocket scientist.
- So did I.
- I don't think we're honest
with ourselves enough.
Let me ask you guys something.
What if our political
system wasn't bought
and paid for by
corporate America?
What if politicians
weren't beholden to
endless campaign cycles
but free to do what our voters
actually elected us to do?
I don't know about you guys,
but I want to find out,
which is why I'm announcing
I will be a one-term
senator only,
free from any obligations,
except to the people
who put me here.
- So let me get this straight.
You take personal days
to moonlight for other agencies?
- I was doing what I
thought I took an oath to do
with whoever was
willing to help.
- You lied to your own agency
and contravened a direct order.
- So no "thank you" for taking
a massive amount of guns
and drugs off the streets?
- You're simply too naive to
understand we're trying...
- No.
I think I'm too
naive to work here.

Is David with you?

- ♪ She been doing to me? ♪
- Emma.

♪ A mean ol' woman, Lord ♪
♪ Never told me goodbye ♪
- No turning back now.
- I can't even believe
we're doing this.
A covert unit,
spying on the spies?
- If this is gonna work,
everything has to
be off the books.
No records. No funding.
- I have got the
funding covered.
- Move, move, move!
- Hands up. Hands up.
- I'm CIA.
- I joined the agency
to do what's right
because I thought that's
where it was done.
But you've gotta play
the cards you're dealt.
- Won't be easy.
Three of us going against
the entire agency?
I can do what I can
from the inside, but...
- It doesn't have to be just us.
Hill, do you still have that
asset you never reported?
- That felt good.
- What's that?
- Sticking it to Frankie,
taking care of our own.
You want to hear
something weird?
- Yeah.
- So we finally get
our lives back, right?
All of a sudden, it
doesn't feel right anymore,
just going back to
the way things were.
- You know, I keep thinking
about what Pop said.
How the deck is stacked
against folks like us.
- So what if we could
do something about that?
What if we set our
sights a little higher?
- So keep doing what
it is we do best,
just maybe not
always about money?
- Maybe it's about
leveling the playing field,
not just for our family.
- For everyone else.
- For Pike.
- Shelby.
- Father Diego.
- Otto.
- Everybody.
What do you think about that?
- I mean, if not us, then who?
- Relationships.
What a racket.
Information on that
money launderer.
- Thanks.
- Heard you quit your job.
- Did you?
- Yeah, I did.
- Maybe best not to ask each
other too many questions.
- Now more than ever, huh?
- But no reason why
a yoga instructor
and a rocket scientist can't
share a drink from time to time.
- I don't see why not.
- Is that your mark?
- You said no questions.
- She's cute.
- She's not my type.
