00:11:10,833 --> 00:11:13,916
so they're ready for a new hearing date
just as quickly as we schedule it.
171
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,416
Don't you lose sleep
working for a psychopath?
172
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:20,958
You think Nyland's any better?
Everyone in D.C. is out for themselves.
173
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:23,875
-Including you.
-Thank you for your wise words.
174
00:11:23,958 --> 00:11:26,666
-Can we have a minute now?
-It's fine.
175
00:11:31,375 --> 00:11:34,875
-I'm sorry. I know you're pissed.
-What are you sorry about, Owen?
176
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:36,833
Lying to me? The hotel bill?
177
00:11:36,916 --> 00:11:39,458
Or using my credit card
to sleep with some Russian woman?
178
00:11:39,541 --> 00:11:42,041
That did not happpen, it was for work.
I slept on the couch.
179
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:44,583
You don't have to lie to me.
I am not your girlfriend anymore.
180
00:11:44,666 --> 00:11:46,375
Hannah, I'm not lying to you.
181
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:52,583
She's a former asset
that I was forced to babysit.
182
00:11:53,333 --> 00:11:55,208
She's the bane of my existence.
183
00:11:55,291 --> 00:11:59,000
I thought I got rid of her,
and then I was dragged back to Phoenix.
184
00:12:01,291 --> 00:12:02,916
Well, she sounded sexy.
185
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:05,583
-Is she sexy?
-No, she's crazy.
186
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,916
-You have a thing for crazy.
-I do not.
187
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,166
Don't make me go through the laundry list
of hot and crazy you mowed through.
188
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,083
I... I was processing our breakup.
189
00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:20,125
You're the most serious relationship
I ever had. I was trying to get over you.
190
00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:26,708
I am really sorry.
191
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:31,375
I never should've
asked for your credit card,
192
00:12:31,458 --> 00:12:33,875
never should've involved you in my work.
193
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:37,333
I'm still figuring out this job,
figuring out my life,
194
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:42,708
and I've made a lot of mistakes,
but, by far, the worst one is hurting you.
195
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,166
What am I gonna do with you?
196
00:12:53,375 --> 00:12:56,250
I know better
than to keep trying to fix you.
197
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,333
But here I am,
198
00:12:58,416 --> 00:13:04,041
invested in the guy that you could be,
if you just got your shit together.
199
00:13:05,416 --> 00:13:07,250
So get your shit together.
200
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:17,750
No, I think... I think we're good.
201
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:20,000
Okay. I'm gonna cut you off.
202
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,708
Fine. But you have to help me
with the scavenger hunt.
203
00:13:23,791 --> 00:13:25,625
-[clears throat]
-Sure. Yeah. Please.
204
00:13:26,291 --> 00:13:30,083
Oh, there's, like, a CIA thingy here.
Donus Kronus? No...
205
00:13:30,708 --> 00:13:32,208
-Kryptos Donuts?
-Kryptos.
206
00:13:32,291 --> 00:13:33,625
What the fuck is that?
207
00:13:33,708 --> 00:13:37,291
It's a sculpture at Langley
of an unsolved encrypted message.
208
00:13:37,375 --> 00:13:39,208
The donut shop in the CIA lobby
209
00:13:39,291 --> 00:13:42,416
sells a donut that has the code
out of powdered sugar.
210
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:44,625
You can only get it
if you work at the CIA.
211
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:48,458
-I'll just grab a bag of them. You know?
-[man] Mr. Hendricks.
212
00:13:49,916 --> 00:13:51,416
He just got here.
213
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:54,500
Can you just give me a minute, please?
214
00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:56,875
-No can do.
-Yeah, can do.
215
00:13:56,958 --> 00:13:59,416
I'm talking to my friend.
I'll come when it's over.
216
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:01,875
-The chief of staff can fucking wait.
-No, he can't.
217
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:06,083
-Yeah, he can. What are you--? No.
-Owen. It's fine.
218
00:14:06,166 --> 00:14:09,541
It's not okay. I'm sorry, again.
219
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:12,958
I'll bring you some donuts.
220
00:14:29,541 --> 00:14:32,291
[Mills] I was very clear. If the president
needs to call you about this,
221
00:14:32,375 --> 00:14:34,291
you will find yourself primaried.
222
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:39,166
Is that a piña colada?
223
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:41,166
Yeah, you want some?
224
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:43,375
No. What have you found?
225
00:14:43,458 --> 00:14:44,291
Yeah.
226
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:50,833
Uh-- Actually, first...
How well do you know Senator Smoot?
227
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:56,416
Well enough to know he is not the asshole
who gave your asset my CIA nickname.
228
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,833
Okay. He sent me a subpoena,
mostly to get at my boss.
229
00:15:00,916 --> 00:15:03,083
But it's gonna jam me up,
so I'd like for it to go away.
230
00:15:03,166 --> 00:15:04,000
Permanently.
231
00:15:04,583 --> 00:15:06,958
And for him to leave the OGC alone
for a while.
232
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:10,166
Leverage is nice, isn't it?
233
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:11,708
Yeah.
234
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,958
So can you make him stand down?
235
00:15:15,041 --> 00:15:17,166
Yeah. He'll squawk, but, yeah.
236
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,208
Great.
237
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:21,500
The case officer
that broke security protocol
238
00:15:21,583 --> 00:15:25,208
and told an asset your former nickname
is Xander Goi.
239
00:15:26,291 --> 00:15:29,625
Never heard of him. You trust the source?
240
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:34,000
-The source is the former asset.
-Which means you don't trust her.
241
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:35,916
Except this makes sense.
242
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,333
I went to Vienna
to speak to Xander about the asset,
243
00:15:38,416 --> 00:15:39,625
and the next thing I know,
244
00:15:39,708 --> 00:15:42,125
someone tries to kill me
on the way to the airport.
245
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:44,000
Interesting.
246
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,791
Sounds like Goi has a lot more to hide
than my CIA nickname.
247
00:15:50,625 --> 00:15:52,083
Okay, I'll handle it.
248
00:15:54,458 --> 00:15:56,583
Sir, when you-- Forgive me.
249
00:15:56,666 --> 00:15:59,500
When you say "handle it,"
you mean you'll call and yell at him,
250
00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:02,458
or are you gonna poison needle
jam him on a pastry run?
251
00:16:05,708 --> 00:16:08,833
Things seem hectic over at the OGC lately.
252
00:16:09,791 --> 00:16:11,791
Could be good for me
to have a clear picture
253
00:16:11,875 --> 00:16:14,125
of potential problems
that might land on my desk.
254
00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:19,791
-Is that--? Are you asking me--?
-You've proven yourself useful.
255
00:16:19,875 --> 00:16:22,125
I'm asking if you'd like to continue.
256
00:16:25,625 --> 00:16:27,875
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
257
00:16:29,416 --> 00:16:34,208
But I have too much respect for Mr. Nyland
to do anything behind his back.
258
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:41,708
Good. You passed.
259
00:16:42,791 --> 00:16:46,916
Nyland's a friend.
I'd never actually ask you to betray him.
260
00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:49,125
-We're done.
-[alarm chimes]
261
00:16:50,416 --> 00:16:52,291
You can drink your piña colada.
262
00:17:03,458 --> 00:17:06,375
[Dawn] The first step to becoming
an official asset is paperwork.
263
00:17:06,458 --> 00:17:09,041
Dozens of forms to fill out,
including a full history.
264
00:17:09,125 --> 00:17:12,291
Then you'll go through a psych eval,
and finally you'll get polygraphed.
265
00:17:12,375 --> 00:17:13,583
The riskiest part.
266
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:15,500
Not for me. I lie for a living.
267
00:17:15,583 --> 00:17:19,625
There's literally a sensor on the chair
to measure your sphincter response.
268
00:17:19,708 --> 00:17:20,583
My what?
269
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:23,000
Your butt pucker.
270
00:17:25,708 --> 00:17:28,416
If we're trying to slip Max in
as a brand new asset,
271
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:32,041
don't we all have to be on the same page
about her recruitment backstory?
272
00:17:32,125 --> 00:17:35,625
Yes, we'll say her name came up
in intelligence gathering,
273
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:38,500
we did a little digging
and discovered that she was in prison.
274
00:17:38,583 --> 00:17:41,791
-We got her out in exchange for--
-No, we didn't get her out.
275
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:44,041
When her case was thrown out,
276
00:17:44,125 --> 00:17:47,541
it created an opportunity
for Operations to recruit her.
277
00:17:47,625 --> 00:17:48,750
[elevator bell dings]
278
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:54,000
What? Wha-- Who brings a kid to the CIA?
279
00:17:54,083 --> 00:17:57,625
Someone doesn't check his e-mails.
It's Family Day.
280
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:03,166
The perfect day to vet Max because
they've scrubbed the office for civilians.
281
00:18:08,791 --> 00:18:11,583
-I thought it would be nicer.
-Ha. Yeah.
282
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:15,000
When I showed up, I thought it'd be
Mission: Impossible, high-tech shit.
283
00:18:15,791 --> 00:18:19,500
All I got was a 20-year-old computer
and a shredder from the Cold War.
284
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:40,375
-You got any friends up there?
-No.
285
00:18:40,875 --> 00:18:42,708
[Dawn]
A lot's changed since you've been gone.
286
00:18:42,791 --> 00:18:45,916
Turns out being a Russian mobster
has a high degree of getting you killed.
287
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,250
Top row is management, right?
288
00:18:48,333 --> 00:18:51,333
Council. Only a few remain from my time.
289
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:55,166
There's Stas, Lev, Ivan.
290
00:18:55,250 --> 00:18:57,625
Stas was the one who approved
my execution.
291
00:18:57,708 --> 00:19:00,041
You'll have to kill him
along with a few lieutenants.
292
00:19:00,125 --> 00:19:02,041
Sorry, we're killing people now?
293
00:19:02,125 --> 00:19:05,958
She means neutralize,
and we've already started a list.
294
00:19:06,041 --> 00:19:09,208
Yuri. Oksana.
295
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:11,708
Nichka.
296
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:15,500
No, I think I can
win over Yuri and Nichka.
297
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:19,666
Oksana definitely has to be killed,
or neutralized.
298
00:19:20,541 --> 00:19:22,666
-Do you know who the gatekeeper is yet?
-[Owen] The who?
299
00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:26,250
It's the Council member who I need
to bribe to welcome me back on.
300
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:29,041
We're working on it. Paperwork time.
301
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:39,833
May I?
302
00:19:39,916 --> 00:19:41,458
[Dawn] Knock yourself out.
303
00:19:43,708 --> 00:19:44,791
Full name.
304
00:19:45,833 --> 00:19:48,541
Maxine Vasilyevna Meladze.
305
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:50,500
Birthplace?
306
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:53,875
Babruysk, Belarus.
307
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,291
Parents?
308
00:19:56,875 --> 00:19:57,750
Deceased.
309
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,541
-Siblings?
-Deceased.
310
00:20:02,041 --> 00:20:03,041
Marital status?
311
00:20:15,208 --> 00:20:16,375
Widowed.
312
00:20:18,833 --> 00:20:19,833
Children?
313
00:20:23,166 --> 00:20:24,166
None.
314
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,458
All right. I'm gonna go talk to the shrink
and the polygrapher.
315
00:20:35,541 --> 00:20:39,166
Play up the fact I'm new and never
overseen an evaluation of an asset before.
316
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:41,916
With luck, I'll be able to flag
any potential issues
317
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,583
before Max even sits down.
318
00:20:44,291 --> 00:20:45,291
That's smart.
319
00:20:45,375 --> 00:20:46,958
Yeah, I know.
320
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:52,291
God, I could be at a spa right now.
321
00:20:52,375 --> 00:20:54,875
I say we wait an hour, then we sneak out.
322
00:20:54,958 --> 00:20:55,958
Yeah.
323
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:01,541
Are you guys hiding in here?
324
00:21:01,625 --> 00:21:02,750
A hundred percent.
325
00:21:04,375 --> 00:21:05,916
Can one of you two do me a huge favor?
326
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
-What?
-No.
327
00:21:07,916 --> 00:21:09,458
Can I tag you in on my graymail case?
328
00:21:09,541 --> 00:21:12,083
She's being vetted and I feel
a more seasoned attorney is required.
329
00:21:12,166 --> 00:21:14,958
Forget it. The only reason
you'd try to pawn this off on us
330
00:21:15,041 --> 00:21:17,625
is if it was a shit show
you were trying to get away from.
331
00:21:17,708 --> 00:21:18,666
That's not true.
332
00:21:19,708 --> 00:21:21,208
Hard pass. Good luck.
333
00:21:21,291 --> 00:21:23,000
What if I ask Nyland?
334
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:27,250
You're gonna tell the boss
you're incapable of doing your job?
335
00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:30,541
Confess all your fuck-ups and let him
use them against you? Go for it.
336
00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:32,333
You've been super helpful. Thank you.
337
00:21:36,375 --> 00:21:38,458
Hey, kids.
Lester's got candy in his office.
338
00:21:38,541 --> 00:21:40,041
[children giggling]
339
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:42,458
Enjoy.
340
00:21:49,666 --> 00:21:52,041
Guys, who did this?
341
00:21:53,583 --> 00:21:54,416
What?
342
00:21:55,250 --> 00:21:57,000
Uh, should I come back, sir?
343
00:21:57,083 --> 00:22:01,083
No, no, no. Things will only
get worse once the sugar kicks in.
344
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:02,416
Guys. Come on.
345
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,208
Give Dad a minute, all right?
346
00:22:04,291 --> 00:22:06,000
Wanna go play in the waiting room?
347
00:22:07,416 --> 00:22:08,625
Yay.
348
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:09,916
[growling playfully]
349
00:22:12,083 --> 00:22:13,083
Get out of here.
350
00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:15,375
Thank you.
351
00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:18,375
[groans]
352
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:23,958
The asset has been secured.
Gilbane is starting the vetting process.
353
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,000
I assume you want me to provide oversight?
354
00:22:27,083 --> 00:22:30,416
Yes, the asset is still on our dance card
until she's fully vetted.
355
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:35,916
You wouldn't happen to have any advice
for me to help me navigate the process?
356
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,333
Well, unfortunately there's
not a lot you can do.
357
00:22:38,833 --> 00:22:41,583
We don't get any control
over the questions in the swirl.
358
00:22:41,666 --> 00:22:45,041
Clearly you have to hide her
agency history from the polygrapher.
359
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:48,708
-What about her criminal history?
-No one cares.
360
00:22:48,791 --> 00:22:53,875
She was a spy, traitor to her country.
Agency expects her to be a scumbag.
361
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:56,166
Anything else?
362
00:22:57,416 --> 00:22:59,291
No. Uh, yes.
363
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:04,208
Actually, I had a meeting--
Two meetings with Kevin Mills, Not Bob.
364
00:23:04,875 --> 00:23:08,875
He wanted to discuss the asset situation
and why his nickname had come up.
365
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:10,625
You didn't tell me that.
366
00:23:10,708 --> 00:23:13,708
I wanted you to have deniability
in case things went south.
367
00:23:14,541 --> 00:23:18,041
I assured him that
it was an isolated incident and then...
368
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:23,416
he asked me if I wanted to spy for him
at the OGC, and I said no.
369
00:23:30,458 --> 00:23:31,291
I know.
370
00:23:33,708 --> 00:23:37,083
Kevin called me, said it was a test,
371
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:38,625
and you passed.
372
00:23:41,916 --> 00:23:45,125
Did he say that to you because
he thought I wouldn't say anything,
373
00:23:45,208 --> 00:23:46,708
or because I would?
374
00:23:47,416 --> 00:23:50,583
Good question. Always assume the worst.
375
00:23:50,666 --> 00:23:53,708
Fewer surprises. Now, get back to work.
376
00:23:54,541 --> 00:23:57,791
Hey, guys. Who wants a donut?
377
00:23:57,875 --> 00:23:59,625
[tense music playing]
378
00:24:05,041 --> 00:24:08,250
-Hey, I've been looking for you.
-Sorry, can't really talk now--
379
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:11,791
-Good. I just need your pretty face.
-What is happening?
380
00:24:11,875 --> 00:24:13,791
[Amelia] Selfies for my mom. Look cute.
381
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:16,583
-Jesus.
-She found out it's Family Day.
382
00:24:16,666 --> 00:24:20,083
I've gotten three messages about the fact
I haven't given her grandkids.
383
00:24:20,166 --> 00:24:21,250
Right.
384
00:24:21,833 --> 00:24:25,250
-What's wrong with you?
-Nothing. I'm just a little overwhelmed.
385
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:28,166
You don't wanna help me
get my graymailer vetted, do you?
386
00:24:28,250 --> 00:24:29,833
-Fuck no.
-I didn't think so.
387
00:24:29,916 --> 00:24:32,750
Can you point me in the right direction
for Dr. Hirsch, the psychologist?
388
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:35,458
Not for me. He's vetting the asset.
389
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:39,625
Fourth floor. But stay out of his office,
or everyone'll think you're nuts.
390
00:24:39,708 --> 00:24:40,916
Sure. Thank you.
391
00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:48,791
Hey, Dr. Hirsch? Hi, I'm Owen Hendricks.
392
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:52,666
Oh, yes, and I owe you a psych eval
for a new asset.
393
00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:56,833
-I thought we weren't starting till 12:30.
-No, we're not. I just, um...
394
00:24:56,916 --> 00:25:00,041
I'm new, and I guess I'm a little nervous.
395
00:25:00,125 --> 00:25:03,416
Well, say no more.
Have a seat. Let's talk about it.
396
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,541
Uh, I'm not here for me.
397
00:25:06,125 --> 00:25:10,333
I figured I'd introduce myself
before you sat down with the asset.
398
00:25:10,916 --> 00:25:15,375
-You know, see if I could help at all.
-Look, since you're new, I'll be honest,
399
00:25:15,458 --> 00:25:17,208
I always check yes, okay?
400
00:25:17,708 --> 00:25:20,625
Unless they pull down their pants
and take a dump on the floor, I pass them.
401
00:25:20,708 --> 00:25:23,250
Actually, there was a guy I passed
who pissed himself,
402
00:25:23,333 --> 00:25:26,416
but he was charming in all other respects.
403
00:25:28,125 --> 00:25:30,791
Oh, okay, great. That's...
404
00:25:31,458 --> 00:25:36,333
Um, hey, you don't happen to know
the polygrapher, Dustin something?
405
00:25:36,416 --> 00:25:39,166
Dustin Hatch. That kid's wound tight.
406
00:25:41,041 --> 00:25:45,416
-Um, meaning?
-Let's say, he's as tough as I am easy.
407
00:25:45,916 --> 00:25:49,541
If your asset makes a single screw up,
he'll bounce them.
408
00:25:49,625 --> 00:25:50,750
[tense music playing]
409
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,375
Right. You don't happen to see
a lot of employees suffering from anxiety?
410
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:01,833
No, most of them enjoy it.
411
00:26:02,833 --> 00:26:04,416
-That's a joke.
-Right.
412
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:08,125
Actually, it's not.
You kind of have to be crazy to work here.
413
00:26:08,625 --> 00:26:10,500
Are you having anxiety?
414
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:12,666
No. No, no. I was just asking.
415
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,000
I will see you out there.
416
00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:17,125
Hi.
417
00:26:31,458 --> 00:26:34,916
-[Hatch] You okay in there?
-Yeah. Yeah.
418
00:26:47,458 --> 00:26:49,000
Hey.
419
00:26:49,083 --> 00:26:50,666
Are you the polygrapher?
420
00:26:50,750 --> 00:26:52,250
-Yes, sir.
-Yeah?
421
00:26:52,333 --> 00:26:54,041
Dustin Hatch.
422
00:26:54,125 --> 00:26:56,875
Owen Hendricks, OGC.
423
00:26:56,958 --> 00:26:58,458
I just started a couple of weeks ago.
424
00:26:58,541 --> 00:27:00,791
This is the first asset I've vetted.
425
00:27:00,875 --> 00:27:04,375
Pretty standard stuff.
You've been swirled before, obviously.
426
00:27:04,458 --> 00:27:08,333
Same protocol, control questions,
and then the heavy stuff.
427
00:27:08,416 --> 00:27:10,416
As long as she tells the truth,
we'll be done in 30.
428
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:11,583
Good to know.
429
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:29,416
People are fascinated with the whole
lie detector thing, aren't they?
430
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:30,583
I guess.
431
00:27:30,666 --> 00:27:32,583
You ever taken it over
to a friend's place,
432
00:27:32,666 --> 00:27:35,333
wait for your buddy to get loaded
and then strap him in?
433
00:27:37,250 --> 00:27:38,916
No. I haven't.
434
00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:42,791
You know, agency equipment
is carefully calibrated.
435
00:27:42,875 --> 00:27:46,666
So any deviance
would impugn the validity of the test.
436
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:47,958
Right. No, of course.
437
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:51,416
I just meant I wonder what would
happen to the results if you were drunk.
438
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,250
I don't drink.
439
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:58,208
Right on, right on.
Yeah. No, neither do I.
440
00:28:06,458 --> 00:28:07,416
[knocking on door]
441
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:09,208
-[Owen] Hey, you got a sec?
-No.
442
00:28:09,291 --> 00:28:10,958
Great, I saw this yesterday.
443
00:28:11,041 --> 00:28:14,583
I thought that it looked important.
Was wondering if it means anything to you.
444
00:28:16,125 --> 00:28:18,875
Hey, buddy. Have you seen this?
445
00:28:20,583 --> 00:28:22,375
Jesus. Motherfucker.
446
00:28:22,458 --> 00:28:24,708
-I'll take that as a yes.
-Where did you see that?
447
00:28:24,791 --> 00:28:28,333
-You don't want to know.
-Where did you fucking see that?
448
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:32,125
It was in a train car in Arizona
owned by the Aquino Cartel.
449
00:28:32,208 --> 00:28:35,916
There were a dozen crates
with this symbol. What are they?
450
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,500
Uh, they are why I was Ambien sandwiched.
451
00:28:39,583 --> 00:28:42,166
[Owen] That doesn't sound good,
but what are they?
452
00:28:43,083 --> 00:28:44,041
What are they?
453
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:48,125
American anti-tank missiles.
454
00:28:48,208 --> 00:28:51,500
Basically, a terrorist's wet dream.
455
00:28:51,583 --> 00:28:56,083
My nightmare spec ops team
is smuggling them out of the country,
456
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:58,875
so they can covertly track who buys them.
457
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:03,833
They're dumb enough to think this
will turn into a terrorist turkey shoot,
458
00:29:03,916 --> 00:29:05,750
instead of a career-ending clusterfuck
459
00:29:05,833 --> 00:29:08,916
that will headline the New York Times
for a month.
460
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:10,583
[line ringing]
461
00:29:10,666 --> 00:29:13,583
-I'll just leave you to it.
-Don't fucking move.
462
00:29:13,666 --> 00:29:14,583
Fuck.
463
00:29:15,541 --> 00:29:17,375
-[man] Hello?
-Oh, hi, it's me.
464
00:29:17,458 --> 00:29:20,000
You made a deal
with a fucking drug cartel?
465
00:29:20,791 --> 00:29:23,458
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-Bullshit.
466
00:29:23,541 --> 00:29:25,416
I have an eyewitness.
467
00:29:29,083 --> 00:29:31,458
Hey. Hi, I work with Janus.
468
00:29:31,541 --> 00:29:34,416
I saw the rockets
on the cartel freight train.
469
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,958
What were you doing on a cartel train?
470
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:39,166
Not the point.
471
00:29:39,958 --> 00:29:42,166
Get the rockets back now.
472
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:46,750
Look, say we did make a deal
with a third party for distribution.
473
00:29:46,833 --> 00:29:50,333
We definitely would've disabled
the rockets before we handed them over.
474
00:29:50,416 --> 00:29:53,833
Uh, yeah, if you're talking about
clipping the guidance wires,
475
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:56,958
there is a YouTube video
on how to fix that.
476
00:30:01,375 --> 00:30:04,041
-Let me get back to you.
-Yeah, you do that.
477
00:30:04,916 --> 00:30:06,291
We are so fucked.
478
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,875
We?
479
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:13,125
Uh, if I have to testify
480
00:30:13,208 --> 00:30:15,833
about how I allowed
an unsanctioned covert op
481
00:30:15,916 --> 00:30:18,041
to put rockets in the hands of terrorists,
482
00:30:18,125 --> 00:30:22,125
you'll have to testify about
how you ended up on a cartel drug train.
483
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:23,541
That would be bad.
484
00:30:23,625 --> 00:30:25,625
Yeah, asshole.
485
00:30:25,708 --> 00:30:27,375
If Congress finds out about this,
486
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,000
it will be the biggest scandal
in a generation.
487
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:35,708
[tense music playing]
488
00:30:56,041 --> 00:30:57,583
Oh. Dustin.
489
00:30:58,333 --> 00:31:00,708
Hey. I wanna clear the air from earlier.
490
00:31:00,791 --> 00:31:02,333
I was just being friendly,
491
00:31:02,416 --> 00:31:04,583
trying to get a sense
of what the deal was.
492
00:31:04,666 --> 00:31:08,041
I wasn't trying to suck up or sway
the outcome of this thing in any way.
493
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:13,041
You're saying you were trying to influence
the impartiality of the swirl?
494
00:31:13,125 --> 00:31:16,916
What? No. That's the exact opposite
of what I was trying to say.
495
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,375
Okay, Amish, she's all yours.
496
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:26,750
So?
497
00:31:26,833 --> 00:31:31,250
So she's incredibly intelligent
and profoundly ruthless.
498
00:31:31,333 --> 00:31:34,750
She'll make a phenomenal asset,
but you can't trust her,
499
00:31:34,833 --> 00:31:36,250
like, at all.
500
00:31:40,583 --> 00:31:41,458
I need to pee.
501
00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:49,500
[Owen] Whoa, hey.
I thought you said you had to pee?
502
00:31:49,583 --> 00:31:52,916
I do but if holding it will help
with the polygraph, so will these.
503
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,875
If he finds out you messed with
your heart rate, he'll fail you.
504
00:31:56,958 --> 00:31:59,333
If I don't pass the polygraph, I'm dead.
505
00:32:00,416 --> 00:32:02,458
Is that what Ellen told you
in your pre-brief?
506
00:32:02,541 --> 00:32:06,958
-Yes. So you need to make sure I pass.
-I don't have that kind of power.
507
00:32:07,041 --> 00:32:09,791
-I thought you wanted to help me.
-I do. I can't help with this.
508
00:32:09,875 --> 00:32:12,958
Do you still not understand me
after all we've been through?
509
00:32:13,041 --> 00:32:15,000
I will do what I must to survive,
510
00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:19,458
and that means exposing your duplicity
and criminality if I think it will help.
511
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:55,208
Jeez, your baseline is super twitchy.
512
00:32:57,291 --> 00:32:58,250
Are you nervous?
513
00:32:59,625 --> 00:33:00,500
A little.
514
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,333
Well, don't be.
515
00:33:03,875 --> 00:33:06,500
As long as you tell the truth,
this will be easy.
516
00:33:15,666 --> 00:33:17,625
Do you think she's gonna pass?
517
00:33:19,541 --> 00:33:21,208
What happens if she doesn't?
518
00:33:26,708 --> 00:33:32,416
Remind me, back in Yemen you said
you hadn't met Max before, right?
519
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:33,458
Right.
520
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:37,833
Why?
521
00:33:38,666 --> 00:33:41,750
It's just, ever since she's gotten here,
522
00:33:41,833 --> 00:33:44,416
you haven't asked me
one question about her.
523
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:47,583
And yet, it feels like you know
exactly who she is.
524
00:33:47,666 --> 00:33:49,875
[Hatch] All right, Miss Meladze,
525
00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:52,875
First, I'll ask you a couple of questions.
526
00:33:52,958 --> 00:33:54,708
Please answer yes or no.
527
00:33:55,958 --> 00:33:58,166
Is your name Maxine Meladze?
528
00:33:58,250 --> 00:33:59,250
Yes.
529
00:33:59,833 --> 00:34:01,458
Were you born in the United States?
530
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:03,833
No.
531
00:34:06,916 --> 00:34:10,625
Relax, Miss Meladze,
so we can get an accurate reading.
532
00:34:12,375 --> 00:34:13,291
[clears throat]
533
00:34:14,916 --> 00:34:16,875
Were you born in Belarus?
534
00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:18,625
[Max] Yes.
535
00:34:21,416 --> 00:34:24,875
Please lie to the next question
to establish your baseline.
536
00:34:26,166 --> 00:34:28,375
Is it the year 2015?
537
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:29,666
Yes.
538
00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:31,541
Okay.
539
00:34:34,375 --> 00:34:35,291
Good.
540
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:40,583
Now, how were you recruited?
541
00:35:00,666 --> 00:35:03,125
-[engine starts]
-[pop music playing over stereo]
542
00:35:07,541 --> 00:35:09,041
I work for the CIA.
543
00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:13,708
I know you killed your husband
and blamed his murder on a rival.
544
00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:16,375
Then used the tragedy to drop some bodies
545
00:35:16,458 --> 00:35:19,583
and take your late husband's place
in the Russian mafia.
546
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:23,500
And I know if the Council
were to find out what you did...
547
00:35:23,583 --> 00:35:26,000
they'd cut you apart with a blowtorch.
548
00:35:30,666 --> 00:35:31,750
What do you want?
549
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:35,000
For you to start working for me.
550
00:35:36,166 --> 00:35:37,833
Nothing dangerous. Just...
551
00:35:38,916 --> 00:35:41,291
tell me everything everybody tells you,
552
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:45,083
especially your friends
in Russian military intelligence.
553
00:35:45,666 --> 00:35:47,000
And if I say no?
554
00:35:47,875 --> 00:35:48,750
You won't.
555
00:35:49,791 --> 00:35:50,875
You can't.
556
00:35:53,458 --> 00:35:55,041
I'll be in touch.
557
00:35:55,958 --> 00:36:00,166
A case officer approached me,
when I came out of prison.
558
00:36:01,791 --> 00:36:04,750
She made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
559
00:36:16,375 --> 00:36:18,000
[Nyland] That's a strong accusation.
560
00:36:18,083 --> 00:36:20,458
Yes, sir.
But this operation is priority one,
561
00:36:20,541 --> 00:36:22,541
and I don't feel comfortable
taking Hendricks
562
00:36:22,625 --> 00:36:24,583
if there's even a hint
he's been compromised.
563
00:36:24,666 --> 00:36:25,708
[knocking on door]
564
00:36:29,333 --> 00:36:30,500
What's going on?
565
00:36:30,583 --> 00:36:32,500
[Nyland] Gilbane wants to swirl Hendricks.
566
00:36:32,583 --> 00:36:35,708
She's worried he's been compromised
by our squeaky wheel.
567
00:36:36,708 --> 00:36:38,791
Since when do we trust Operations?
568
00:36:38,875 --> 00:36:42,833
You're just trying to torpedo Owen
because you don't a lawyer on your op.
569
00:36:42,916 --> 00:36:45,541
They shared a hotel room
together in Phoenix.
570
00:36:57,375 --> 00:36:58,958
You sent someone to spy on him?
571
00:36:59,041 --> 00:37:02,625
Given Meladze's value,
I felt I had no other choice.
572
00:37:07,208 --> 00:37:08,208
Go get Hendricks.
573
00:37:09,333 --> 00:37:13,875
You shouldn't be here when I tell him.
Go make sure the asset is squared away.
574
00:37:14,583 --> 00:37:18,916
Fine, but I am observing the swirl.
It's my operation.
575
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,041
Understood.
576
00:37:20,125 --> 00:37:24,500
But Salazar will be observing with you.
He's my guy.
577
00:37:33,208 --> 00:37:34,750
Owen's not gonna be happy.
578
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:37,083
[Owen] This is bullshit!
579
00:37:37,166 --> 00:37:39,250
[Nyland] It's a single-issue polygraph.
580
00:37:40,125 --> 00:37:43,583
There's a concern the squeaky wheel
may have compromised your objectivity.
581
00:37:43,666 --> 00:37:45,666
A concern. Of whose?
582
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,833
Gilbane's?
She's just trying to get rid of me.
583
00:37:47,916 --> 00:37:49,875
She's not even being subtle about it.
584
00:37:49,958 --> 00:37:52,791
You shared a hotel room with Meladze
in Phoenix.
585
00:37:53,625 --> 00:37:55,000
Yes, of course, I did.
586
00:37:55,083 --> 00:37:56,666
She ditched her first babysitters.
587
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:58,583
So they asked me
to go down there and get her.
588
00:37:58,666 --> 00:38:01,666
How stupid would I have been
if I let her have her own room?
589
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:04,041
Listen to me. Listen to me.
590
00:38:04,125 --> 00:38:07,041
Gilbane is the one who has been
compromised by the asset.
591
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:08,583
You have proof of that?
592
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:11,000
No.
593
00:38:12,625 --> 00:38:14,333
But there's clearly
a history between them,
594
00:38:14,416 --> 00:38:16,333
even if she insists that there isn't.
595
00:38:16,416 --> 00:38:17,541
Look, my hands are tied.
596
00:38:18,916 --> 00:38:21,541
She made a formal request.
I can't legally ignore it.
597
00:38:21,625 --> 00:38:24,125
But Salazar will oversee the swirl.
598
00:38:24,625 --> 00:38:26,958
She'll make sure
everything stays on track.
599
00:38:49,583 --> 00:38:51,291
[Hatch] Is your name Owen Hendricks?
600
00:38:53,583 --> 00:38:54,416
Yes.
601
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:56,416
-[Hatch] Are you 24 years old?
-Yes.
602
00:38:57,333 --> 00:39:00,916
Please lie to the next question
to establish your baseline.
603
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,208
Are you a citizen of the United States?
604
00:39:03,291 --> 00:39:04,333
No.
605
00:39:05,875 --> 00:39:09,541
Did you lie earlier
when you told me that you didn't drink?
606
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:12,375
Yeah.
607
00:39:16,083 --> 00:39:18,500
You know these tests are dog shit, right?
608
00:39:19,625 --> 00:39:21,083
The National Academy of Sciences
609
00:39:21,166 --> 00:39:23,458
says they're no more accurate
than flipping a coin.
610
00:39:23,541 --> 00:39:25,000
That study was incredibly flawed.
611
00:39:25,083 --> 00:39:27,750
You're saying that 'cause
you'd be out of a job if people bought it.
612
00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:29,833
-No, that's not true--
-Come on.
613
00:39:29,916 --> 00:39:34,916
Any test that I can fool by clenching my
sphincter is flawed. I'll prove it to you.
614
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,333
-I'm clenching, I'm not clenching...
-Mr. Hendricks.
615
00:39:37,416 --> 00:39:41,041
Mr. Hendricks could you stop that.
Would you stop doing that?
616
00:39:42,458 --> 00:39:44,708
Tampering with the test
is an automatic failure.
617
00:39:45,333 --> 00:39:47,708
Fine. I've ceased clenching.
618
00:39:47,791 --> 00:39:49,791
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
619
00:39:54,125 --> 00:39:58,250
Have you ever had contact with Maxine
Meladze prior to joining the OGC?
620
00:39:58,333 --> 00:39:59,166
No.
621
00:40:01,958 --> 00:40:04,583
Have you ever done
or said anything to Miss Meladze
622
00:40:04,666 --> 00:40:07,375
that would constitute a breach
of professional conduct?
623
00:40:07,458 --> 00:40:08,333
No.
624
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:13,583
Have you ever seen Miss Meladze naked?
625
00:40:15,791 --> 00:40:16,875
Go fuck yourself.
626
00:40:16,958 --> 00:40:20,958
You are an employee of the CIA,
and that is an unacceptable response.
627
00:40:21,041 --> 00:40:24,291
Now, have you seen the asset naked?
628
00:40:27,416 --> 00:40:28,291
Yes.
629
00:40:32,166 --> 00:40:34,333
Have you ever had sexual contact
with the asset?
630
00:40:35,791 --> 00:40:38,083
-No.
-Have you ever wanted to have sexual--?
631
00:40:38,166 --> 00:40:40,875
-What kind of fucking question is that?
-You could just answer.
632
00:40:40,958 --> 00:40:44,458
Move on. The question was sexual contact,
asked and answered.
633
00:40:44,541 --> 00:40:45,833
[Hatch clears throat]
634
00:40:48,791 --> 00:40:52,416
Have you witnessed every step
of the asset's vetting process personally?
635
00:40:53,916 --> 00:40:55,166
Yes.
636
00:40:55,875 --> 00:41:00,041
And has Miss Meladze
lied in any of her responses?
637
00:41:01,291 --> 00:41:03,291
It's too broad of a question.
I can't answer that.
638
00:41:03,375 --> 00:41:07,958
Okay. To the best of your knowledge,
has she lied about anything?
639
00:41:13,625 --> 00:41:14,833
No.
640
00:41:21,458 --> 00:41:22,750
Are you compromised?
641
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:27,416
Fuck yourself.
642
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:31,500
Okay, you got what you needed.
This session is finished.
643
00:41:36,166 --> 00:41:37,291
[shouts]
644
00:41:40,291 --> 00:41:41,875
Ah! [groans]
645
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,833
-You okay?
-No. That was humiliating.
646
00:41:53,916 --> 00:41:57,791
I know, but you passed
and so did your asset.
647
00:41:57,875 --> 00:41:58,750
Wait.
648
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,250
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
649
00:42:02,083 --> 00:42:03,708
Oh, good. Fuck.
650
00:42:03,791 --> 00:42:05,833
-Listen, about Max--
-Stop.
651
00:42:05,916 --> 00:42:08,416
I truly do not care
that you saw her naked.
652
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,791
I'd be shocked
if she didn't try and seduce you.
653
00:42:10,875 --> 00:42:13,083
-That's Asset 101.
-Yeah.
654
00:42:14,875 --> 00:42:17,125
And it's not why I'm breaking up with you.
655
00:42:18,208 --> 00:42:21,250
What? Wait, you're breaking up with me?
656
00:42:22,708 --> 00:42:26,166
You're a fun guy, Owen.
And the sex is top notch.
657
00:42:27,708 --> 00:42:31,666
But this thing that you do
where you stumble through serious stuff
658
00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:34,083
and hope that it works out well...
659
00:42:36,125 --> 00:42:37,833
it's too 20-something for me.
660
00:42:39,833 --> 00:42:41,583
I have my whole career mapped out.
661
00:42:41,666 --> 00:42:44,958
The last thing that I need
is to be dating some wildcard
662
00:42:45,041 --> 00:42:47,291
who doesn't even know what tomorrow holds.
663
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:57,958
Be very careful with those two women.
You can't trust either of them.
664
00:43:01,666 --> 00:43:02,625
Yeah.
665
00:43:05,666 --> 00:43:08,083
Congratulations,
not only did you pass your polygraph,
666
00:43:08,166 --> 00:43:09,750
but you got your boss to call mine
667
00:43:09,833 --> 00:43:12,625
to insist that you stay
on my operation through reinsertion?
668
00:43:12,708 --> 00:43:14,500
No, I didn't.
669
00:43:15,125 --> 00:43:18,708
But if you ever try to sabotage me again,
it'll end badly for you.
670
00:43:18,791 --> 00:43:20,333
Consider me unafraid.
671
00:43:20,416 --> 00:43:21,541
Enough posturing.
672
00:43:21,625 --> 00:43:24,583
Let's focus on what's next:
buying my way back in.
673
00:43:25,458 --> 00:43:27,583
Do you know yet who I need to bribe?
674

No. There's a giant list of sanctioned
