The Equalizer (2021–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Blowback - full transcript

When a smuggler being detained by the CIA must be transferred quickly to a secure debriefing site, McCall works with Carter Griffin to ensure he arrives unharmed. Dante deals with the possibility of his father being released from ...

Previously onThe
Equalizer... Bishop!

I'm not asking for your trust.

I'm asking for your help.

The reason I left
the CIA is because

I lost faith in the institution,

but not the mission.

Trust me, you don't
want to know everything.

In fact, I do. Tell you what,

if it seems dangerous,

then I'll let you know.

Mom!



Mom, if you really want to help,

When my dad died,

I had to grow up way
faster than I should've,

and I don't want that for you.

We took that money
to level the playing field

and take care of our families.

Was it really
about the family, Pop?

Or was it just about you?

That money paid for your life.

CIA! Don't move!

You heard him! Hey, yo!

Hands up now!

Hands behind your back.

Hey. Hey, Mom.



Huh.

What's all this?

Hello, it's for our dinner
with Mel and harry tonight.

Mm-hmm. What? Is that tonight?

You know it's tonight.

Don't even try to get out of it.

I'm not. I'm actually
looking forward to it.

It's just that...

It's a little weird.

You know, I spent so many years

keeping my family

and work separate.

I know how hard
that's been on you.

It's time to put
that burden down.

And the way Mel took care of us

when you were abducted...

She's already family.

I can't wait to meet Harry.

Oh, my gosh, you're gonna
love his fits, Auntie.

And, um, that nice detective?

Maybe we should invite
him, too? Mm-mmm.

Okay, now you're
just being messy.

Hey, uh, I got to run.

I love y'all. Bye, baby.

Love you, too.Bye. I love you.

Don't be late for
dinner. Have a good day.

I promise, I won't.

Same goes for you.

Oh, don't worry. I have
a little work thing,

but, uh, I'll be there.

Aunt Vi,

I haven't forgotten
our agreement,

but this is classified,

and I won't be reachable today.

Well, that's convenient.

It's true, though.

So, you'll just have to
trust that I'll be okay,

and I'll make it home
in time for dinner.

You better be,

'cause my escovitch
waits for no man

or woman.

Is that what you're
making?

Okay, I won'tbe late.

Kyler, what's
the difference

between a credit card
and a debit card?

A debit card is money
from your bank account.

A credit card is money
you borrow. - Boom.

Stefon, define home equity.

The value of a property
minus the debt.

Kyler,

what's the difference
between stocks and bonds?

Stocks give you ownership
in a corporation,

while bonds...

Bonds, uh... Help
your brother out.

Bonds are a loan from you
to a company or government?

You asking me or telling me?

I'm telling you.

Then say it with your chest.

Bonds are a loan from you

to a company or government.

That's right. And why
do we need to know this?

Because responsibilities
take no days off.

Good job. Let's eat.

Pass-pass the
jam.

Yeah, I'll accept the charges.

Pop. This is a surprise.

Yeah. I'll be there.

It's just a simple A to
B transfer of a detainee

from here to a secure
debriefing center.

Well, if it's so simple,
why do you need me?

Gonna ask you the same thing.

Look, I got orders to
move a priority capture

and that you were to
be part of the team.

Care to explain?

Well, apparently, I still
owe the Company a few favors.

Who's the cargo?

Smuggler named Ezra Ryback.

An on-again, off-again asset

who operates mainly in Europe.

Apparently, he's gonna
be debriefed by some

top-level brass
named Colton Fisk.

Colton Fisk?

Yeah. You know him?

I've heard of him.
And only in whispers.

I mean, he's somewhere
between a myth and a legend.

In fact, I don't know anyone
who's actually met him.

I used to think he
was made-up, you know?

Some kind of boogeyman
to scare cadets.

Wait a minute,

I have heard about this guy.

He made his bones as a spy hunter
in the '90s, right? Yeah, they say

he single-handily took
down all the top levels

of FSB and MSS.

If Fisk is doing

the debrief, this guy
Ryback must be important.

Turn in your phones.

Say that again,
see what happens.

- Is this our cargo?
- Yup. Real piece of work

from what I hear.

All right, well,
let's make this quick.

I got plans tonight.

McCall, this is Agent Shaw,

Agent Sanford. They'll be on
the transport with us today.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, you. Million dollars
if you put a bullet

in each of their
skulls right now.

Why don't you shut up, Ryback.

I'm happy to do it myself.

I'm happy for you to try it.

All right, let's get going.

Wait a second, is
this really it?

No convoy? Just four boot camp

drop-outs with pea shooters?

Clearly, you do
not know who I am.

Oh, we know. We're just
doing our best to forget.

Trust me sweetie, you
will never forget me.

Let's get him to the van.

Marcus.

Thanks for coming.

Sure, Pop.

How you been?

I'm hanging in there.

Those boys behaving?

They're good.

Look, you wanted to
see me. Here I am.

Before you hear
it on the streets,

I thought you should
hear it from me.

I cut a deal with the D.A.

to testify in a case.

Testify?

So, that means... I could
be getting out soon.

Like, in the next few weeks.

That's good, Pop.
I'm happy for you.

Are you?

'Cause I know what
happy looks like.

That ain't it.

It's just... unexpected.

You've been offered
deals like this before,

you always turned them down.

Seems the people I've been

protecting are either gone

or locked up for things
I can't help them with.

So, what do you need from me?

Money? Job? Place to stay?

You think I called
you for money?

I can take care of myself,
boy. Okay, so you don't

need anything from me.

Well, there is something.

I want to meet your boys.

My grandkids. Be a
part of their lives.

Look, I know I wasn't
the best father,

but I was doing what
I thought was right

to prepare you for this world.

Being in here all these years

gave me the perspective to...

think on all that.

The mistakes I made with you.

Also about the past and

how much future I got left.

So...

I'm asking.

Will you give me the chance
to know my grandsons, Marcus?

Hey.

That cash offer's
still on the table.

Seriously, take these cuffs off

and look the other way.
Give it a rest, Ryback.

Who are you, anyway?
Clearly, you're not

one of them. Agency run out

of pros, start
bringing in mall cops?

Was that a bus?

We're not taking
main roads, are we?

What genius planned this
route? We're exposed

on all sides to an attack.

An attack from who? Nobody even
knows you're in the country.

If you believe that you are as stupid
as you look. What's he talking about?

It's nothing important,
I'm sure. - Oh, yeah,

the Brigada-7 cartel
is not important.

Why would the
Brigada-7 be after you?

You got intel on
them, don't you?

That's why the CIA wants
to talk to you so badly.

Or he's just making stuff
up to trade for his freedom.

the Brigada have eyes and
ears in a lot of places,

and from what I
hear, that includes

the upper levels of the CIA.

A mole in the Agency
brass?

You've said a lot of
stupid things, Ryback,

but that one tops 'em all.

Our inside man was right.

The van is on schedule.

Hey, Mel. What?

Delilah, what are
you doing here?

Hey, wait, the dinner is
still on tonight, yeah?

Yes, yes, yes, of
course. Um... Okay. Mm.

I actually, I just
wanted to speak with you.

Yeah.

Um... it's about my mom.

Well, me and my mom.

Sure. What's up?

I asked her to train me.

You know, how to fight,

protect myself.

And she said no.

She did.

Mm-hmm. Which I understand.

She doesn't want me
to grow up so fast.

And it's too late
for that, isn't it?

Right.

See, look, this... I knew
you would understand,

which is why I
came here to ask...

will you train me?

You want me to...

go behind your mother's back?

I just want to be prepared.

Dee, that's...

Look,

you were shaken up
after the abduction,

understandably so... No,
no, no, it's more than that.

Uh, what about the next time
something happens to Mom?

And-and-and what about

if we're there when she's home,
and-and they come after...

Delilah, your mother would
never let that happen.

I mean, she never thought
that she'd be kidnapped

in front of us either.

I know that

both of you believe that
she can protect me, but...

there are things that
she can't control.

Mel, I know that
this is a big deal,

and I don't want
you to do something

that you don't feel
comfortable with,

so if you want to say no,

it's okay.

I appreciate that.

And, honey, unfortunately,

I have to take you up on
that offer and say no.

Okay. I understand.Um...

Where you going?

I respect your decision,

but,

Mel, I got to look
out for me, so...

if you're not gonna train me,

I'll find someone who will.

How much longer's
this gonna take?

You got someplaceto be?

Really worried about the
Brigada-7, aren't you?

Yes, and your complete inability

to protect me from
them. Relax, Ryback.

We'll get you
where you're going.

Overconfident.

There's a saying
about people like you.

"The only thing more dangerous

"than deceiving others

is deceiving yourself."

Mall cop knows Arabic.

I'm impressed.

Where'd you hear that saying?

Another agent.

Except this guy
was actually good

at his job.

The best.

What was his name?

He only went by one. Bishop.

You know him?

I'm familiar.

Where is he, anyway?
I was certain

he'd be on this
detail since it's me.

Unless...

He's dead, isn't he?

Why are we stopping?

Don't worry. It's a
planned vehicle switch.

Don't worry?

You just don't get it.

Watch it, baby, it's hot.

Thanks for coming over, Mom.

I like your new place.

Honey, you sure you
can afford this?

Even with the Gatling
County settlement?

It was pretty substantial.

Yeah, it's not enough
money in the world

to make up for what
they put you through.

Wait!

So, what are you
gonna do with it all?

Still trying to figure that out.

Just doesn't feel right.

Hm.

Honey, I know it came
from a dark place,

but it's a lot of good
you can do with it.

Anyway...

I'm sure you have mixed feelings

about your father
being released.

I just hope you can

find it in your heart
one day to forgive him.

When I talked to him, Pop asked

about spending
time with the boys.

Feels like it would give
him a second chance.

I see.

What did Vanessa say?

She's always believed
family is important.

Wants our boys to know
their grandfather,

as long as I'm okay with it.

Are you?

Should I be?

I don't know.

You know I want nothing
but happiness for that man,

but not at the expense
of yours. I mean,

being in your life, being
in your children's lives...

That's not a right,
it's a privilege.

He needs to earn that.

Honey, I know he
was hard on you.

At the end of the day,

it's a decision only
you can make, baby.

Want more coffee, dear?

Let's go.

What do you make of all
this Brigada-7 talk?

Should we be worried?

I tangled with their New
York arm a while back,

and they're no joke.

Any chance Ryback is right?

About a mole?

I got to say, it would
explain a few things.

Past month alone, I had a dead
asset and an investigation

suddenly shut down from above.

Agent Johnson, it's
time to switch.

We're
compromised.

Brigada must
have found out we have Ryback.

We're pinned down.
Shooters at two o'clock.

Get him to safety.
Ryback, get in the van.

Move!

Where's Ryback?

He's in the van.

How could Ryback just disappear?

He couldn't
have gone far.

Everybody, spread out.

Check and see.

Ryback, it's me!

Never thought I'd say this, but

I'm actually happy to see you.

Damn.

Hold still.

You're lucky, it's just grazed.

Easy.

The hell were you thinking,
running off like that?

That I want to
survive. And you think

you have a better
shot on your own?

You disagree?

It's pretty clear your
operation was compromised.

Did you see who was
leading that hit squad?

Dimitri Muller.

Muller?

The Bridgada's go-to assassin.

He's got 100% kill rate.

Well, I have a
100% survival rate,

so maybe you want to
stick with me next time.

He's okay.

What the hell, Ryback? I
told you there was a leak.

But would you listen? No.

"What the hell does he
know about the Brigada-7?"

Only enough that your boss
Colton Fisk wants to debrief me.

He's right about this one.

Someone knew our entire route.

Down to the location
of the switch.

Which means they know
where we're headed.

Can't
call in for backup.

Not if there's a mole waiting
to intercept the new plan.

We have to go off-grid.

Someplace no one
will look for us.

I know a place.

Put your hands up,
Kevin. Protect your face.

Jab. There you go.

Good, Dante. Let's go.

Oh, no. Keep-keep...
keep the left hand up.

Higher! Higher! You got
to protect yourself.

That the
best you can do?

Somebody hits you,
you hit them back

twice as hard. You're
an embarrassment, boy.

Dante!

We're just sparring.

Hey, man, you all right?

My bad, man.

Hey, it's okay.

The hell is wrong with you?

Sorry, man. Guess
I got carried away.

I'm just working
through some stuff.

Everybody around here is
working through some stuff.

Listen to me. If you
need an ear to bend,

you know where to find me.

Hey, what about you?

Seem grumpier than usual.

Just trying to come to terms
with these numbers, brother.

What numbers?

Expenses are up,
membership is down.

The math ain't mathing the
way it used to, you know?

Anything I can do?

I mean, you can enjoy
it while you still can.

I'm, uh,

probably gonna have to
close the doors soon.

Damn, Manny.

Your dad opened this place
when I was this high.

You know what this place means

to the neighborhood, how many
kids you kept out of trouble

by giving 'em somewhere to be?

Yeah, and I loved
every minute of it.

That ain't gonna
pay this mortgage.

What about a fundraiser?

And end up in the same spot
couple of months down the road?

Nah, I've, uh...

I've made peace with it.

If that's what you want.

Wasn't my call. You know,
sometimes life just...

lets you know

when it's time to move on.

Still a shame.

Gonna miss this place.

We all are.

You ready to go?

Yeah. What should
we bring? A, uh,

a full-bodied red
with silky tannins

or a buttery white
sort of sexed-up

with a flinty nuance at the end?

Uh-oh.

What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm-I'm...

No, no. Come on.

Don't want to do this
dance. What's going on?

Delilah? It's Delilah.

Was I wrong to say no?

I mean, Rob would definitely
find out, and she'd be pissed.

I would be pissed if I were her.

Oh, yeah. No, that
would definitely

create some major drama.

But... am I actually

letting Rob down?

Look, she's not ready to accept

that an incident like this
could happen again, but...

No, I know. The
kid's not wrong.

It could definitely
happen again.Yeah.

And she's determined.

She's gonna do it
with or without me.

And I don't know
where she's gonna go.

Remember when I was
stationed in Kandahar

and those recruits
came in for processing

and I could tell in two
seconds they were not ready?

And I begged Command to just

let me train them, but
I was told it was not

logistically feasible.

So they were trained
by somebody else

with less experience,
and then just...

They weren't much
older than Delilah.

They should have
let me train them.

Okay.'Cause then...

No. No, no. That
was not your fault.

Mm-hmm. That was not your fault.

Okay? Okay.

But if Delilah is not ready

when the time comes...

that will be my
fault. I don't know.

Uh, it's true, there's
nobody better qualified

to train her than
you. I mean, that's...

So you think I should
do it. Wait, wait, wait.

I-I did not say that.
So what are you saying?

I'm saying, you know...

I'm glad I'm not you.

Okay, all right,
all right. Really?

Look, look, look.
Look...

listening is-is my forte. Okay?

Good decision-making...
That's always been your thing.

Right? I mean, look,
you chose me.

Right.

Look, it's a tough
call, you know,

but whatever you decide is
going to be the right call.

All right? And I will
support it no matter what.

Okay?

Okay.Okay.

Now I just got to...

figure out which one of these...

Uh...

Come on, we're gonna be late.

You just happen to have
an abandoned warehouse

lying around? Resourceful.

Who are you, anyway?

I'm the person who's
saving your ass.

Okay, we're here, we're safe.
Now we need to call this in.

We've already been
compromised once.

We go straight to the director.

What part of "you
can't trust anyone"

don't you get?

I agree with Ryback.

He's been right
more than you have.

Who you calling?

The only reinforcements I trust.

Bishop Security.

Involving a
civilian third party?

That's a violation of protocol.

CIA's protocol, not mine.

Bishop Security is the only
tactical fighting force

that we can be sure
is not compromised.

Yeah, sorry, I can't
let you do that.

Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

What the hell are
you doing, Sanford?

She's the outsider.

She's the one who left the CIA

for reasons no
one seems to know.

Take it easy, okay?

We can talk this through.

Maybe you're the mole. Huh?

How do we know that
you haven't led us here

just to be sitting ducks?

Sanford, get away
from the window!

I said I'm done listening
to you!

He's gone.

All right,
everybody listen up.

That sniper means the
Brigada-7 kill squad

is either on the way...

Or already here.

How the hell did they find us?

They must have followed
us from the garage.

Maybe you told them.

You think I'm the mole?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Shut up, Ryback.

There's no time for
you nonsense right now.

So what the hell are
we supposed to do,

stand around and get
picked off one by one?

We prepare.

There are two ways
into this place:

the front and the rear.

We set up positions,

and when they breach,

we'll be waiting for
them with a surprise.

With what... four handguns
and a few rounds of ammo?

You know, I
am really beginning

to warm up to you.

Shaw and I will take the front.

Ryback, Griffin, the rear.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

We need all the help we can get.

You try something,
I'll shoot you myself.

I expect nothing less.

Ryback with a gun?
I don't trust him.

Look, he's off the rails,
but he's not crazy.

He wants to live.

Let's go.

What's up?

Nothing.

All right, let's get in position

before our guests arrive.

Hey. Hi! Hi. Hello.

It's great to see you. You, too.

Okay, Aunt Vi, this is Harry.

I'm a hugger, I'm coming in.

Okay, let's do it.

Hey.Hey.

Hello. Hello, hello. Hi.

Um, we brought this for you.

Oh. Excellent taste in wine.

And you...

you have excellent
taste in spices.

Is that a Scotch bonnet pepper

I detect? What you know
about a Scotch bonnet pepper?

And I never divulge
a family recipe

until I've had a few
glasses of this, anyway.

Well, what are we waiting
for? Let's get it flowing.

Come on. Oh, I
like him already.

Good.

Look, Dee, I'm
just... I shouldn't...

Can we just forget about this?

Yes. Yes.Okay.

Come on, let me show you around.

Oh, I can't wait.Okay.

Your mom's not back yet?

Uh, no. I'm sure she's just
wrapping things up at work.

Come on.Sure.

You really think
someone on the inside

is selling us out? I
learned the hard way

not to rule anything out.

Especially with the CIA.

Shaw, your six!

Aah!

Shaw, do you hear me?

All right, just
keep pressure on it.

We need to help Griffin.

Cover me, Ryback!

Shaw!

Somebody in this room

led that hit squad
directly to us.

And one of y'all
better start talking.

Or I'll make sure
and kill you both.

Guns down. Now!

Which one of y'all led
that Brigada team here?

Easy, McCall.

They must have followed
us from the garage.

I know when I'm being
followed. I wasn't.

How do you know it
wasn't Sanford or Shaw?

Because they're dead.

But you two are still alive.

Maybe you're not as good
as you think you are.

Roll up your sleeves.

Show me your arms.

Now you, Griffin.

This is ridiculous.

Just do it!

The other one.

What are we looking at?

A subcutaneous tracking device.

Don't do it. I'll
shoot you right now.

It was you all the time.

You were the one that
gave me up to Quinn.

Mom!

It was you who poisoned Delgado

so he wouldn't tell us
about that dirty bomb.

What happened?

You let Quinn grab your
gun on that rooftop.

You're the one who told Quinn

that Bishop was on that plane.

I didn't have a choice.

You always have a choice!

What could they possibly

have offered you?

It wasn't like that.

I got shot in a raid.

While I was recovering,
I-I got hooked.

Opioids.

One night I got into
it with a dealer.

I shot him.

He turned out to be L.E.O.

You killed an
undercover cop? Back up!

Tried to cover it up.

But somehow...

Brigada found out.

And once they get
their hooks into you...

I didn't have a way out.

Yes, you did.

But you're a coward.

But you're gonna
turn yourself in.

And spend the rest
of my life in prison?

I can't do that.

I'm not leaving you a choice.

On three, I'm pulling this gun.

You better not miss, McCall.

'Cause I won't.

One...

Two, three,

four!

Hands! Hands!

CIA! No one
move.

Watch him.

Agent Duffy.

McCall? Long time.

They said you might be here.

Who said? How did you
know we were here?

Look, we heard about the garage.

Been searching for
your team ever since.

That didn't answer my question.

I don't know what's going on,

but I'm gonna get some answers.

Duffy.

Colton Fisk has to
debrief this one.

Don't worry, we'll
get him there.

100% survival rate, indeed.

Not bad, mall cop.

Not bad.

Okay, these should
tide us over for a bit.

Oh, wow.Wow...

Robyn should be here
any minute. Thank you.

Should we try her again?

Hope everything's okay.

Well, she said that
she'd be unreachable

for a bit, and so, uh,

we shouldn't worry.

That's exactly what
we're gonna do.

Okay.

Ah. Excuse me.

Hello?

Hey, Auntie, I'm sorry.
I know I'm running late.

Are you?

We were having such a good time

we didn't even notice.

Good.

Well, I'll be there soon.

I just have one
quick stop to make.

Hi.

Hi yourself.

Come in.

Nice place.

Sorry I couldn't
get here sooner.

Just one of those days.

So, what's going on?

Your text seemed important.

Uh...

looks like my father is
getting released early.

As you know, we didn't
have the best relationship.

Now he wants a second
chance. He wants to...

meet my kids.

Be a better grandfather to them

than he was a father to me.

How you feel about that?

Not gonna lie. I
don't love the notion.

I came to the conclusion
that there's no sense

in dwelling on the past.

I can't change that.

No, you can't.

But I do have a
say in the future.

My father had plenty
of chances with me.

He blew every
single one of them.

And I'm not gonna set my boys up

for that same disappointment.

Marcus, your father's had a
lot of time to think about

who he's been.

Isn't there any chance he
comes out a better man?

It's possible.

Well, you might
want to find out.

And maybe sooner
rather than later.

'Cause my dad was
my best friend.

And he was there one day,

and the next...

There's nothing I wouldn't give
to have one more day with him.

Sounds like a good man.

A great man.

Not perfect.

I got to go.

To be continued.

Thanks for stopping by.

Your dad must have
gotten something right.

Because he raised you to
be the man you are today.

Okay, so Robyn said,

"Oh, yeah, no, I'm glad.
She's a good cook." I mean,

that's like saying Coltrane
could, like, play the sax. Yeah?

Oh, you flatterer. Try these.

Oh, yeah?

That crust!

Good God, woman.

We're gonna need another

Yeah.

What shall we have next, Harry?

Should it be a
burgundy, pinot noir,

sauvignon, Sancerre?

Oh, Sancerre.

He wants Sancerre, right, babe?

Mm.Excellent choice, Mel.

- Would you help me with the glasses?
- Yeah, mm-hmm, of course.

I've never seen him happier
than this moment. No, I...

You know what I mean?

I'm so glad
you guys are here.

Yeah, yeah, me, too. Hey, Dee.

Come here for a second.

Um, so, listen, the thing
you asked me about...

Oh, no, please, just
forget that I asked.

No, I-I thought about it, and

as much as I might regret it,

I'd regret it more
if I didn't, so...

You'll train me? Really? Yeah.

Shh. Keep it down.
Oh, my God, thank you!

Yeah, wait, wait, wait.

I've got two conditions.

The first is you have
to do everything I say

exactly as I say it, okay?

No pushback. We're not friends
while we're doing this.

If we're gonna do this,
we're gonna do it right.

Okay, you won't have to
repeat yourself, I promise.

Okay. Second...

at some point I'm gonna
have to tell your mom,

and when I do,
I'm gonna tell her

it was my idea and you're
gonna go along with it.

Okay?

Okay.Okay.

But why?

Because she's gonna be
pissed as hell, Dee.

And I'm not gonna let this drive
a wedge between the two of you.

So, do we have a deal?

Okay. You can hug me now.

Okay.

Hey, hey.

Hey, what's good?

She made it. Yay!

What a beautiful home.
We were about to start...

Welcome, welcome. We about
to start without you.

Uh-huh, take one. Thank you.

Here you go, my dear.
Ooh, I am hungry.

This is for you, my love.

First,
though, I would like

to make a toast.

To the family that you have

and the family that you choose.

We're all here together,

now, and that is because of you,

so thank you. Thank you.

Cheers.

what you doing?

Just looking at some old pics.

Who's that?

That's my father.

Your grandfather.

My grandfather?
What's he like?

He was tough on me.

But he was only trying to
prepare me for the world.

Because responsibilities
take no days off?

Yeah.

He taught me that.

Well, what else
did he teach you?

Well, for one,

he was a cop, like me.

Here you are,
still making me meet you

in the middle of nowhere.

Just so I can talk and
you can not listen.

I miss you, Bishop.

Figured I'd see you again, Fisk.

You are Colton Fisk,

aren't you?

And you're everything
Bishop always said you were.

When'd you know? I
had my suspicions.

The way you moved.

The way you handled your weapon.

Reminded me of Bishop.

He did train you,
didn't he? He did.

What I don't understand is...

why the prisoner act?

Just to flush out a mole?

I knew posing a serious
threat to the Brigada

Would force their inside
man to contact them.

Why go through all of that?

Why put all of our
lives in danger?

You could have called
the CIA tac team

anytime you wanted.

How far were you willing
to play this out?

As far as it took
to get answers.

You must've known about Griffin.

It was you who put
him on the team.

But there was someone
else I was worried about.

Me?

You thought I was a
mole? You and Griffin

worked closely together
on a number of things.

I needed to find out.

And?

I knew you were clean when
you didn't kill Griffin.

If he would have exposed me,

I would have had to silence him.

I'm glad you understand.

I understand the logic.

Doesn't mean I agree with it.

You don't have to.

You just have to answer
the phone when I call.

Your arrangement
with the Agency,

the one Bishop negotiated
for you... it's under

my supervision now.
You work for me.

First of all, I don't
work for anyone.

Especially not someone
as reckless as you.

Your little playacting got
two good agents killed.

Sanford and Shaw were
as guilty as Griffin.

They were as dirty.
Not Brigada moles,

but they'd sold out their
country to other bad actors.

Truth is, everyone on that team

was guilty of something.

You put my life in danger.

What was I guilty of?

Of getting Bishop killed.

He never should have
been on that plane.

He was supposed to be looking
into something for me that day.

Instead he disregarded
his own safety

in a reckless pursuit
of Mason Quinn,

all because of you

and your selfish obsession.

If not for you, McCall...

Bishop is still alive today.
