Previously on Covert Affairs..
I saw you on the street with that girl.
I was just another Op, and then you broke it off
because I wasn't necessary anymore.
There's a little snafu at the Russian embassy.
One of their diplomats was arrested with a call girl.
I thought you said you knew how to be discreet.
Being discreet doesn't mean there's no risk involved.
- I'm done. - Don't call me again.
Tony, how are things at the state department?
- Pretty good. - There's a version of this
that ties McQuaid to Chicago.
You know no one has better access to McQuaid than I do.
And you know you're under suspension.
That's part of my plan.
I am gonna make a move to the private sector.
- How about a toast? - How about a job?
It's with great pleasure that I introduce
our newest field operative, Annie Walker.
Does McQuaid's Security do mock-ups
of the Ops your planning?
You know McQuaid.
He replicates with intense detail.
This is where they planned the Chicago attack.
It's time we took this to Langley.
The Semtex used in Chicago
was the same you found in McQuaid's facility.
Pull McQuaid in.
If you think that I am capable of this,
then shoot me.
Someone tipped McQuaid off about the manhunt.
He's in the wind.
You think he'd try and contact you?
No, he's gotta know what side I'm on by now.
Just on the left up here.
Thanks, buddy. Keep the change.
No problem.
Thank you for sitting down.
This is just pro forma, okay?
We have to talk to everyone.
How would you categorize your relationship with Ryan McQuaid?
Ryan was my boss, but only for a short time.
We did CIA field Ops together,
and I--and I would say we worked well together.
I considered him a friend.
Do you have any idea
where McQuaid might run to?
No.
But I'm sure he's long gone by now.
Why would you think that?
I would be if I were him.
British, Australian, Canadian.
What do you want?
Australian's fine.
What happened to the other ones I did for you before?
I just need a clean slate, no chances.
Really? You're in a bind.
- How'd it go? - Fine.
Finding McQuaid's a top priority,
so for now, they're just picking everybody's brain
trying to get a beat on him.
- For now? - Well, inquiries like this
have a way of snowballing.
They'll be looking at everyone in McQuaid's orbit,
including you and me, if they aren't already.
Caitlyn seems to be handling it well.
With the CIA turning this place inside out,
I'd expect her to be less composed.
That's because she invited them.
Why did she do that?
Damage control.
She gave the CIA carte Blanche
and they agreed to keep the Op quiet.
Unfortunately, you can't keep anything under wraps
in this town.
Words already starting to spread amongst our clients.
We've already lost three government contracts.
Have you considered the possibility
of Ryan reaching out to you?
The thought has crossed my mind.
Piece of advice.
We're all under the microscope right now.
So put your feelings aside.
Don't do anything to put yourself at risk.
Okay.
Here it is. Clone away.
There may not be much on it. I haven't been here very long.
Thank you. I will get this right back to you, I promise.
Oh, um, quick question.
You know those doughnuts in your guys' break room?
Do you think it'd be weird if I had some of 'em?
Considering you're investigating the guy
who paid for them? Hmm.
Definitely.
Oh, okay, 'cause I already ate most of 'em.
Um...
I need to ask a favor, too.
Yeah?
I need Caitlyn Cook's computer.
- Mm-hmm. - I'd ask her myself,
but I'm--I'm slightly terrified of her.
I'll get it for you.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
What are you doing in here?
The tech op needed to clone your computer.
I'm about to step into a meeting.
Do you know when they'll be done?
I'm not sure, but I can ask him to do it right away.
- Fine. - He said he also needed to see
Ryan's computer, but it wasn't in his office.
Do you have any idea where it is?
I have no idea. Maybe it's at his house.
Okay.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I brought you a snack.
Oh, thank you so much.
For the computer, too,
but the doughnuts especially.
- Are you done with mine? - Yeah, yeah.
Just unplug it. It's all yours. Thank you.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Walker, these came for you.
Thanks.
One other thing.
Since this manhunt is a multiagency operation,
NCTC will be coordinating the effort.
They're sending over someone
to help comb through the Intel coming in.
- To help? - Yeah, I know.
They don't trust us to share well with others.
When do they get here?
Now.
Hello, Auggie.
Perfect.
Hey, got a sec?
Just. What's up?
Who do you know at the Russian embassy?
I know everyone.
But I have a relationship in the cultural attache's office, why?
I need you to meet with them.
Did you like the flowers?
Yeah. They're beautiful.
You got a phone on you?
Uh...
I'm the one who didn't shoot at you, remember?
Yes, and I appreciate that.
But you're not the one that I'm worried about.
This place is amazing.
Plenty of cover,
great sight lines to the access road,
acres of trees to disappear in.
You sure know how to make a spy blush.
I still have a lot of questions.
So do I.
My wings are completely clipped.
I can't even check my e-mails
without the CIA knowing about it.
I've been cut off from my money.
I know this is a lot to ask-- I'm in.
I was hoping you'd say that.
I've been thinking a lot about who it might be.
Me, too, and I don't think you're gonna like the answer.
- You think it was Caitlyn. - How do you know?
'Cause it had to have been somebody who has access
to my company and my operations,
and she's the most obvious choice.
- But? - But she's never given me
a reason to distrust her, Annie.
She contacted me last night about arranging a meet.
She's just trying to help me figure it out.
She gave the CIA free rein at your company,
and then she held back your laptop from them.
Maybe she's trying to protect me.
Maybe she's trying to plant evidence on it.
Shit.
You know, if I'm being completely honest,
Caitlyn's a pretty big blind spot for me.
You think it's worth the risk to take the meet?
If she's setting me up, we need to know now.
Look, I'll keep the meet and I'll move it to someplace
that you can keep an eye on things.
If it's a trap, then you can warn me.
Let's do it.
♪ Covert Affairs 05x10 ♪ Sensitive Euro Man Original Air Date on August 26, 2014
== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man
If they're looking to black bag me,
they'll send in a few guys
to try and push me out of the circle,
and they'll try and take me someplace
and quietly drop a net on me.
Well, I'll see them coming first.
I can cover every approach,
but try to stick to one part of the circle,
say between 19th and New Hampshire,
what do you plan on doing with that?
Hopefully nothing.
But if things get hot, I can buy you enough time to get away.
What about you?
I'll be fine.
It's me. Well, my guy's a no-show.
I'll be back at the office in an hour.
Okay, I've got McQuaid mission files from '08 to '09,
who wants 'em?
- I'll take 'em. - Right here.
Okay, I'm just gonna leave them
on these boxes right here, that way nobody has to get mad at me.
And sorry to interrupt the awkwardness again,
but there's a phone call for Haley from Hoover.
Oh, great.
Thanks. I'm gonna take that in here.
Could you just give me a minute?
Are you serious?
Please?
What do we got?
We tracked Walker's phone going into the arboretum,
but then the signal vanished.
- Did you get eyes on her? - It's 412 acres.
There's only so much we can cover.
We checked the security footage.
As far as I could see, she was alone the whole time.
Can you get me a map of where all the security cameras are,
along with their range of view? Sure. Why?
'Cause I wanna find all the gaps in their coverage
and then check every single one of those spots.
Call me when you get it.
Finished.
I can't believe you think Annie's working with McQuaid.
Were you eavesdropping?
I didn't need to. You send me out of my office
to talk to the FBI. Who else is it gonna be about?
I'm a spy, remember?
Oh, yeah. I'm not discussing this with you.
Then just look at the facts. If she were abetting him,
she wouldn't have told the CIA about that secret bunker.
You're wasting your time.
I read the after action report,
or rather, I read between the lines.
If she's sleeping with him, she's probably protecting him.
You need to rework your profile on Annie,
because that particular code isn't in her programming.
Auggie, maybe you don't know her like you used to.
She keeps things from you.
She disappears for months.
I mean, what kind of a friend does that?
The kind who needs some privacy
and knew I wouldn't judge her for it.
Keeping secrets is not the same thing as privacy.
You know what?
Maybe you're right.
You shouldn't be talking to me about this.
You have two bogeys at your 3 o'clock.
This feels wrong.
You're fine. They didn't make you.
No, it's not that.
It's this whole setup-- the sniper rifle,
not giving Caitlyn the benefit of the doubt.
It just feels like we're testing her.
It is a test.
If I'm wrong, she doesn't have to know,
but I don't think I am.
You don't know her like I do.
She's been there for me through one of the most difficult times
of my life.
What happened?
Years ago, I was married.
Her name was Kelly, and she died.
Cancer.
Losing her almost destroyed me, but Caitlyn wouldn't let it.
Without her I wouldn't have climbed out of that hole.
So...
She's here.
I don't see any undercovers.
Hey.
Let's take a walk.
How are you?
You know me, every day is an adventure.
Why the last-minute location change?
Don't you trust me?
It's a luxury I don't have much time for at the moment.
After everything we've been through together?
Well, try looking at it from where I'm standing.
Someone is setting me up,
and they're using my company to do it.
Who would you look at? You're right.
I would be suspicious of me, too.
We're gonna find the son of a bitch that did this to you.
Here.
Why'd you bring my laptop here?
There's all your contacts and mission files on it.
Jesus, Ryan, I'm trying to help you.
I'm just saying it would have been hard
to keep it from the CIA.
I assume they're turning the place upside down.
It's been a nightmare.
I tried to keep them out as long as I could,
the lawyers said there was nothing I could do about it.
I'm sorry it's been so difficult for you.
Don't worry about me.
Is there anything I can do for you right now?
No, no. You--you've done quite enough already.
Well, I'm here for you if you need me.
What do you think?
She's a liar.
Why do you think she gave you that?
That's a GPS chip.
You wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it.
It draws power from the battery,
so the moment I turn this on, it's gonna transmit my location.
It was Caitlyn. It was her the whole goddamn time.
We just turned onto Stuyvesant.
What next?
McQuaid, we just turned onto Stuyvesant.
Up on the right, 880.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I could use a drink. You want one?
Thanks.
Wow.
I'd ask why you have something like this,
but under the circumstances, I get it.
I just wanted someplace that I could fight back from.
You know, I took my eye off the ball,
and she knew it.
I couldn't have made this any easier for her!
If you need to lose your shit for a second,
go ahead and do it.
Then I need you to focus.
'Cause we are in this together.
I'm sorry. My hands are tied.
State can't have diplomatic protection contracts
with McQuaid Security right now.
It boils down to a PR issue.
We were given the choice
of either canceling the treaty signing tomorrow
or going with another PMC.
Mr. Belenko.
It's good to see you.
Were we supposed to meet? No.
No, pardon the intrusion, but as the treaty's organizer,
I have a keen interest in its security issues.
- Arthur Campbell. - Mr. Belenko.
- Caitlyn Cook. - Pleasure.
We were just talking about transferring the security detail
elsewhere.
I see.
Bringing in someone else this late in the game,
it's more complicated than you might realize.
The security plan took hundreds of hours.
It would be impossible to bring another PMC up to speed
by tomorrow. I'm sorry, guys.
If you're dead set against using us,
the best move is postpone it.
There's nothing more important than the client's safety.
If it doesn't happen tomorrow, it'll be staged abroad.
A shame.
I studied in the U.S. did I tell you that?
Boarding school at 13 and then university.
This country helped me become the man I am today,
and this treaty is my small way
of giving something back.
I'm impressed by the integrity displayed here, Tony,
and it would be a great favor to me
and my country if we could proceed.
Let me make a phone call.
Thank you, Tony. Caitlyn and I will be on-site
to make sure everything goes smoothly.
If you're happy with the event,
maybe we can revisit that contract conversation.
One day at a time, Arthur.
Thank you.
Mr. Belenko.
Maxim.
What are you doing here?
You blew through our meet.
I was told not to talk to anybody right now.
Extra security protocols are in effect.
I thought we had an arrangement.
I can't help you.
Thank you for believing in me.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
Well, I don't think you really ever did.
I've been thinking about how we should deal with Caitlyn.
Yeah, so have I.
You know, if she wants to send someone after me,
then so be it.
Every inch of this place is wired.
They will be like flies in a spider's web.
If Caitlyn wants to come and get me,
then...
We'll send a flare.
You ready? Always.
Are you okay?
Piece of cake.
Let's see what Santa brought us, shall we?
Oh, looks like we've been naughty this year.
- Potassium chloride. - Induces a heart attack
without leaving a chemical trace.
Semtex. This is not exactly enough to damage this place,
but maybe they wanted to blow me up if the potassium didn't work.
Or maybe they wanted to just plant it on you.
They've already pinned Chicago on me. What else is there?
Something that hasn't happened yet.
This is where all the diplomats and military VIPs
are staying for the treaty signing.
Hey, it's me.
What's up?
I think there's a bomb in the Beaudmont Hotel
someone is targeting the dignitaries that are there
for the treaty signing.
- What's the Intel? - Three men attacked McQuaid.
They had Semtex and hotel blueprints to plant on him.
You're with--
you're with McQuaid?
I'll explain that later, but right now,
we have to evacuate that hotel
in case somebody is targeting the diplomats there.
Yeah, I'm sending a team right now.
Then we need to talk.
What's happening?
There's a small electrical fire,
and we are evacuating the hotel as a precaution,
but it's nothing to be concerned about.
Thank you.
Let's not jump to any conclusions.
The plan's still good, love.
- Anything? - Place is clear.
They swept the entire hotel. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Better safe than sorry.
I'm glad it turned out to be a false alarm.
So if you'll excuse us, we'd better get our folks
off to the treaty signing.
Auggie. Good to see you, Arthur.
Hey, grab a bite later, Anderson?
Yeah. You buyin'?
Tell me again where that Intel came from.
I found a few disparate pieces of Intel
on McQuaid's servers.
I thought they fit together, but apparently I was wrong.
You need a ride back to Langley?
Thanks. I got a couple things I have to wrap up here.
All right.
Miss Price, we got the prints off the cell phone.
- Who do you got? - Two distinct sets.
One belonging to Annie Walker, the other to Ryan McQuaid.
Hey, it's Hayley Price.
I need an arrest warrant for Annie Walker.
Hey, Paul.
I just got a call from Hayley Price.
She just tried to swear out a warrant
on Annie Walker. For what?
Abetting a fugitive and obstruction of justice.
Did you give it to her?
No, I couldn't.
There's a flag on Walker's file
saying that Langley had to approve it.
But Hayley didn't seem to want to do that.
Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
Say hi to Shelby for me, huh? Will do.
Auggie.
Anything?
It's clear.
Now you're gonna tell me what the hell is going on.
McQuaid is innocent.
Caitlyn Cook set him up.
Yeah, he's innocent based on what?
She gave him a laptop with a GPS tracker in it
and then sent three men to kill him.
She must have done Chicago.
She is trying to frame McQuaid for it.
All right, if that's the case,
then he shouldn't be afraid to turn himself in.
It's not that simple
with all the evidence stacked against him.
That evidence should be showing you something.
I'm--I'm sorry if this caused you problems.
No, my problem is that I keep sticking my neck out for you,
and all you do is lie to me.
- That's not true. - Isn't it?
What about McQuaid?
Or your heart condition?
Or wherever the hell you were for four months
that you didn't tell me
until you needed my help to cover it up?
Look, I won't say anything about McQuaid,
but beyond that, I'm done lying for you, Annie.
Hayley already knows you're helping him.
She's asked for an arrest warrant.
The sooner you come clean, the better chance you have
of protecting yourself.
My guy can't do us any favors at the moment.
Something's going on at the Russian embassy.
They've got the place on lockdown.
- In response to what? - My best guess,
stolen intelligence files,
probably the same ones Roger Bennett claimed he had.
You think there could be some FSB connection to all this?
I mean, more than just the fact that they had
a surveillance file on Borz Altan?
I've had the same thought.
If we can turn someone inside the embassy, we can find out.
So I've put together a list of candidates.
I think I have a way to get to one of these guys.
Who?
Pavel Mashkov.
Are you sure you want to ask her to do
what you have to ask her to do?
If there's an FSB connection to Chicago,
we need to know.
And she may be the best shot we have of getting someone inside.
I've been through the whole place myself.
I couldn't find anything either.
Don't take this the wrong way,
but I'm sure the CIA team was thorough.
Yeah, well, then they must have missed something, too.
There's no reason for Caitlyn to plant evidence on you
tying you to the Beaudmont Hotel if nothing's gonna happen there.
Well, it was worth a try.
I'm not giving up yet. We're just--
we're thinking about this the wrong way.
There is no more "we," okay?
I've dragged you far enough into this already.
What are you talking about?
You're on the verge of being arrested.
You don't have to go down with me.
Auggie was right. The sooner you come forward, the better.
Just--just tell him I kidnapped you.
Ryan,
let me help you.
Where are you?
I'm gonna try something. This needs to end now.
Caitlyn.
Jesus Christ, Ryan.
You scared the shit out of me.
What are you doing here?
Where's the bomb?
McQuaid, call me back before you do something
that can't be undone.
It was never in the hotel.
Annie Walker, put your hands on your head,
on your knees now!
- I don't have time for this. - I mean it, Annie.
Put your hands on your head.
Caitlyn Cook is about to attack the motorcade
for the treaty signing.
- What are you talking about? - She's the problem
in McQuaid Security.
She put a bomb on one of the motorcade vehicles.
- How do you know this? - People are gonna die.
If I'm wrong, you can arrest me, but I'm not.
So shoot me or let me go.
Okay, I'm gonna drive you.
I can get us through the security blocks.
I'll call it in.
We're all good.
Why have we stopped?
10-89! Check the car!
Get these people out of the cars and move them back.
Check each car.
We have an explosive device.
Get out! Move.
I found it. It's here.
Everybody out now. Everyone out now.
Clear the area.
Get people out of the cars and move them back.
Step out of the car, please, sir.
They found it.
Clear the area. Everybody out.
Drive.
Are you okay?
I don't know.
That woman, she killed the driver.
Did you see which way she went?
Down the alley.
Aah!
You'll never stop us!
Alek.
Drop the gun!
Put it down.
Step back.
What's going on?
Well, his version of events is very different than yours.
Yeah, I bet it is.
He's not denying he shot Caitlyn, is he?
No, but he claims he did it to save your life.
He did it to save himself.
He didn't shoot until she used the word "us."
He and Caitlyn are working together.
The way she said his name after he shot her...
She felt betrayed.
Well, it's your word against his.
I believe you,
but he's a diplomat. He's entitled to certain privileges.
They have to surrender him to his embassy.
He is gonna be on a plane to Georgia in an hour.
We can't let him get away with this. They're working together.
He just tried to bomb the car you were in.
Annie.
I understand you're frustrated.
But picking a fight with State
is only gonna accomplish one thing.
It's gonna get yourself locked up instead of Belenko.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
All right.
I can't do nothing.
McQuaid's been shot.
I thought I told you to leave me alone.
I need your help.
Auggie.
- Yeah. - Hey.
I just came to say good-bye.
There's still a lot of Intel to go through.
NCTC can't be packing it in just yet.
Yeah, they're not. I am.
They asked me to head up
a new joint operations center.
I also wanted to say that I was wrong about Annie,
and I'm sorry.
Thanks for believing her.
Truce?
Truce.
Good-bye.
Bye.
U.S. generals.
Aleksandre Belenko, the Georgian diplomat
who organized the treaty,
has issued a statement.
He implores anyone with any information
about the still unknown assailants to come forward.
In the meantime, as a safety precaution,
Belenko has been recalled to his home country.
We take you now to coverage from the airport in Tbilisi.
The true travesty of this attack
is that it has since come to overshadow the treaty
whose purpose was to prevent exactly this type of violence.
That is all I have to say. Thank you.
It's me. Everything moves forward as discussed,
but Caitlyn is no longer available to us.
It doesn't matter. I need you in Istanbul tomorrow.
We missed the target yesterday,
so I need to accelerate the timetable.
The CIA are getting too close.
I have every intention of finishing what I started.
