Previously on Covert Affairs...
Henry put out a hit on Arthur and Joan.
Arthur's been stabbed.
Looks like Henry's been using diamonds
to launder and move money around.
We follow the diamond courier to Henry,
we grab Henry, and we take him back to pay for what he's done.
And why would you come looking for me?
You can have all the diamonds for yourself.
Auggie, I didn't stay to try to catch him.
I have a different plan now.
You know that, right?
You know I'm with you.
No matter how this thing ends.
Hey. You lookin' for this?
Hello, Ms. Walker.
[Alarm buzzes]
Sir, you're not allowed in this area.
Sir, you can't come in this area.
Hey, are you security?
I need you to find Raymond Kent for me, now.
Okay, sir, there's no Raymond Kent in this consulate.
Right, find him, tell him Auggie Anderson's here.
Okay, let's step back to the gate, please.
No, no, no. Just call him.
[Indistinct] Guys, I got this.
I got this. Kent?
I got here as soon as I could.
Come on.
Could we speak freely?
Yeah, it's the middle of night.
Everyone's sleeping. All right.
We have a high level operative working in the city.
If I don't get her the support she needs,
she's gonna be in the hands of the MSS by sunrise.
I need a second in command.
I got an officer I can free up.
All right.
I need a desk and some computers.
If you have access to the security cameras
in Kowloon East, I'll need those feeds too.
Okay.
I have to say, you surprised me by going dark.
I didn't know you had it in you.
I was always the leap first type.
But this time, no parachute.
Oliver Li is on a plane to D.C. with his intel.
You will be tried and convicted.
How?
I'm here.
But you're here alone.
Completely.
No, not completely.
You're here with me.
And it's fitting,
because you and I are not so different.
Yes, we are.
It was not so long ago that we sat across from each other
in that diner and you were so excited
to see the file I had on Arthur.
Arthur's alive, by the way.
Joan called from the hospital.
Medical intervention doesn't guarantee survival.
Didn't work out so well
for Teo Braga, did it?
You went after Teo, Helen, Arthur, and Joan.
You went after a pregnant woman.
You've crossed every line, Henry.
There is a fable
in which a frog gives a scorpion a ride across a river.
Somehow, he's surprised when the scorpion stings him.
You're the scorpion in this scenario, I assume?
And to explain his actions, the scorpion simply says,
"I'm a scorpion.
It's my nature."
You all seem to think I should be something different.
But I'm not.
You're a traitor.
No.
I'm no traitor.
I'm just a man who's willing to take actions
based on his convictions.
If you saying I'm a traitor,
then you must want to kill me.
There's your opportunity.
It's empty.
How did you know that?
Because you are a scorpion,
and every word out of your mouth is a lie.

Auggie Anderson?
Yeah.
I'm Sarah Tam.
Mr. Kent said--said that you needed
the best officer he's got.
You're looking at her.
I mean--what are we working on?
We're supporting a high-level, deep cover operative.
- Okay. - I need you to cloak
an office building in Kowloon East for me.
- A full shutdown? - Everything.
All incoming and outgoing communications,
nearby cell towers need to be neutralized,
Internet portals need to be taken offline,
and all telephony to and from the main switcher
need to be rendered inoperable.
Yes, sir.
[Door opens]
Calder Michaels delivering Oliver Li for debrief.
Good luck, Oliver.
Here's to a bright future.
Thanks for assembling so quickly.
With the attempts on the lives of Joan and Arthur Campbell,
the DCI has asked me to convene a response team
of senior staff to deal with the Henry Wilcox threat.
You told us Wilcox was vetted, Braithwaite.
You brought him on as a green badge.
This is a shock to us all.
Henry was instrumental in bringing down Annie Walker,
a rogue operative.
I mistook him for a patriot. [Scoffs]
Henry Wilcox's traitorous ways run deep.
I have just returned from Hong Kong,
where Auggie Anderson and I
turned and extradited Oliver Li,
one of China's top spies who was colluding with Henry.
China?
Where does State come down on this, Suzanne?
Well, Beijing is being discrete to save face,
but they still want their guy back.
Now, Li has been a veritable font of intel
on Henry Wilcox's operation.
Henry orchestrated the helicopter attack in Copenhagen,
and the foiled bombing of Solstar executives in Medellin.
Unbelievable.
Have we verified this intel?
So far everything syncs up with Henry's movements
over the last six months.
It's extremely damning.
Do we know where Wilcox is now?
Hong Kong.
Well, he might as well be in downtown Tehran.
There's no way we're getting him out of there.
Joan.
Yes.
I thought Joan could help shed some light on Henry's actions,
so I called her in.
Do you disagree?
No, no.
No, of course not.
Just given what's transpired,
are you sure you want to be here?
Given what's transpired, I'm sure I need to be here.
We were just going over with State how problematic it will be
getting Henry out of Hong Kong.
Try "impossible."
This is Edward Snowden times 100.
Henry Wilcox needs to be brought back here for justice.
Rest assured, Joan, we're into this.
You don't have to worry much longer
about being in harm's way.
Everyone in this building puts themselves in harm's way
when they sign up for this job.
You have my word, justice will be served.
Please know that.
I hope so.
If everyone will open their folders--
Thank you.
The building's cloaked.
Good. Is your team in position?
They're ready.
Don't send 'em in until my go ahead.
We have one shot at this.
It has to be perfect.
You changed your tie.
You want to change your luck?
I don't believe in luck.
Don't tell that to the Chinese.
[Whispering]
Yeah, I know. Fix it!
Something wrong?
Not your concern.
Let's face it.
You're a man without a country,
without a home, without a family.
- Doesn't matter. - Yes, it does.
It always matters.
Our relationships are what define us as spies,
and you have none.
Says the woman the world thinks is dead.
A strange choice--a bold choice to go dark.
You're turning your back on something.
What are you running from?
[Glass shatters]
What was that? [Alarm blaring]
Looks like CIA, sir.
Shoot to kill.
[Smoke detectors beep]
[Gunfire]
- [Speaks Cantonese] - What are they saying?
"Multiple shots fired at our building in Kowloon East."
I told you not to send the team until my signal.
We didn't send that team.
Is your team still in position?
- Yes. - Well, send 'em!
Now. Get her out.
[Gunshot]
[Gunfire]
We have a vehicle hot and ready.
Let's go. Keep an eye on her.
Put down the gun.
Drop the weapon.
Don't shoot her!
Put down the gun.
It's clear.
What's your move here, Henry?
You've shown your true self, Ms. Walker.
You went after Joan and Arthur.
Did you really think that after--
Don't talk!
Let's move, let's move, let's move!
Cover, cover!
[Gunfire]
Cover! Cover!
You still need me if we're gonna survive.
There is no "we."
There's only me.
I'm trading you to the Chinese.
Eh, you want to tell me what that was?
What the hell are you talking about, Anderson?
Langley sent in a TAC team.
I thought you were handling things on your end.
A TAC team? Where?
Henry's offices in Kowloon.
The team was decimated.
Annie and Henry are in the wind.
Who would have the knowledge of Henry's whereabouts
in Hong Kong and the power to order a TAC team?
Both: Braithwaite.
On it.
You didn't get him?
How many men?
And where is Henry now?
[Knocks on door]
Mr. Braithwaite?
The DCI would like to see you.
He'd like you to bring any files or correspondences
you have in regards to Henry Wilcox.
Thank you.
Tell him I won't be long.
Close the door.
After you.
The Chinese spy service will register our presence here
and send someone in short order.
I'm sure the motion sensor
has already gotten
Beijing buzzing.
Have a seat.
It shouldn't take long.
This isn't much.
Isn't much of what?
Isn't much of a safe house.
It isn't much of a plan.
Comment all you want, Ms. Walker,
but this modest place
is where the MSS is going to torture you
until you tell them everything you know.
Every secret...every truth.
They're very effective interrogators.
Hmm.
Mahjong?
Braithwaite better be ready to do some talking.
This wasn't about justice.
This was about him covering his own ass.
And he failed at both.
Let me talk to him.
I can get him to come clean
if we don't overwhelm him.
We're here to see Eric.
- Where the hell is he? - Where are you going?
Braithwaite, if you think you can--
What's going on?
God damn it.
I'll alert the DCI.
Cordon off the hallway, and call the SPO's, but quietly.
Let's find a way to give this guy his dignity.
Thank you for coming.
Why is the former DCS of the CIA
here in one of our safe houses?
Oliver Li told me I could always reach out
using this method if I had something to discuss.
Oliver Li is in the hands of the Americans.
And this woman is to blame.
Check your sources.
I'm sure they have implicated a dark-haired American woman
in connection with Oliver's abduction.
And what do you want in return?
Asylum...and protection.
I'll be right back.
The saddest fact of all is you went dark for nothing.
This audacious gambit,
this brusque persona, this hair.
You went all out.
You gave up so much...
And it simply wasn't worth it.
You simply weren't cunning enough.
You were right about her.
My superiors are most thankful.
Go here.
We'll find a place for you.
Pleasure doing business.
The pleasure is all mine.
I'm sure you don't believe this,
but I'm truly sorry this has to end.
Good-bye.
Well, you can call me Jonathan.
And your name?
Oh, your Cantonese is good.
Please, sit.
We'll figure out your name soon enough.
You understand our need for diligence.
This should not take long.
[Sighs]
This...is scopolamine.
To help with the truth.
Much better than the sodium pentothal
that the CIA is so fond of.
This will only hurt a bit.
[Grunts]
[Groans]
Where did you send Henry Wilcox?
What is his location?
I'm not telling you anything.
The drugs haven't taken effect.
You think I need drugs to get the truth out of you?
Are you willing to die for Henry Wilcox?
Because that is what we are talking about.
Kowloon train station.
A train to Beijing.
- [Grunts] - [Groans]
[Both speaking Cantonese]
Auggie, there's an outside line being patched through.
It's for you.
Yeah.
The MSS is gonna start tracing this phone
if they haven't already. All right.
What's the update on Henry?
Henry's in a car headed to Kowloon station
for a train to Beijing, license plate "SQ 1971."
Okay, you head in that direction.
We will slow him down.
Get a burner phone, text me the number.
Thanks, Auggie.
We need to activate another Ops team.
I'll go talk to the station chief right now.
Yeah.
[Chattering]
[Horns beep]
Text message received from unknown.
Message 30157.
Auggie.
Hey, what's the update on that team?
The station chief said no.
The Chinese got word of the shootout at Lexington.
He doesn't want to risk pissing them off anymore.
He's not authorizing any more operational forces.
Hey, do you have a car?
Yes?
Is that a question, or do you have a car?
I have a car.
Pull it up front, come get me when it's here.
[Phone rings]
Hello.
Auggie, what's the status on Annie?
Mission not complete.
Annie's still after the target.
Damn it.
I'll let you know if something changes.
All right.
You may want to loop Calder in on the progress.
I'm gonna be a little tied up.
You okay?
I'm all right.
Think I may be having this baby, though.
That's great news.
Don't worry. Annie'll find a way.
I have no doubt.
Arthur.
I wasn't about to miss this.
So glad you're here.
Do you mind if I drive?
Thank you.
[Phones chime]
Oh.
"Oh"? What do you mean, "oh?"
The MSS have Annie's photo.
They've put it out onto their internal security wire
and they've looped in Hong Kong police.
They're gonna want as many boots on the ground
as they can get, as fast as possible.
[Phone rings]
Auggie, did you find a way to slow down Henry?
I'm workin' on it.
The MSS just gave your picture to the Hong Kong police force.
Shit.
Basically, one of the largest police forces in the world
has your picture and they're looking for you.
Got it.
Let me know when we get to the Victory Rd intersection.
We're almost there.
Alright, drive out to the middle of the intersection.
And then what?
- Park it. - Park it?
Yeah, park it.
[Horns honk] [Yelling in cantonese]
We should get a cab. [Horns honk]
[Screams]
[Grunts]
[Horns honk]
What the hell's going on?
Traffic.
We're about two kilometers away.
Annie, we checked with the traffic department's website.
Traffic will be backed up all around Kowloon Road.
Got it.
[Horns honk]
Hello, Henry.
How'd you find me?
Does it matter?
It always matters.
[Phone line trilling]
Annie.
Auggie.
I did it. He's dead.
Okay.
We still need to get you out of here.
Can you get to the harbor?
We have an inside man at the Star Ferry.
Pier three.
Auggie, thanks for staying.
You can thank me in person later.
Almost there.
Annie Walker needs our help.
Let's bring her in.
By now, everyone should know that Henry Wilcox is dead,
and Annie Walker is alive
and in need of support in Kowloon.
Auggie Anderson needs someone to bigfoot DOD
into giving her a water egress home.
I can put a call in to Admiral O'Donnell.
Great, have him call me if there's any questions.
Eric Braithwaite, well,
you've all been read in on that as well.
How are we gonna get this done without a DCS?
The chair's open, Mr. Michaels.
You want me as DCS?
Interim.
The DCI insisted.
Your gambit with operative Walker was a masterstroke.
You've brought down one of the biggest traitors
in our agency's history.
Thank you, sir.
What about Joan Campbell?
I'm not about to step on someone
who just survived an attempt on her life,
who's about to have a baby... You're not stepping on her.
Who served in this position.
You're not stepping on her.
She'll have a chance to properly compete for the job
when the time comes.
We won't discuss this further
until Annie Walker is home safe, got it?
All right.
Suzanne, contact DOD immediately.
I'll get the Asia desk to marshall all their resources
on the ground.
[Chattering in Cantonese]
[Speaks Cantonese]
Thank you.
Auggie, I don't think the ferry's gonna work.
I need-- Halt.
Can I call you back in a sec?
[Speaks Cantonese] Thank you.
I don't know if I have a sec.
[Horn blows]
She can't make the ferry.
Get me something else.
I don't care what it costs.
[Speaks Cantonese]
We'll get you out to the U.S. carrier group
in the South China Sea.
You're looking at about a 1/2 day sailing
depending on the wind.
I hope you like your ride.
It's nice out here on the water.
Hey, I got someone back in the states
who wants to talk to you.
Hold on.
[Phone beeps] Glad you're safe, Annie.
Joan.
I know it hasn't been easy,
but you've done extraordinary work.
Thank you.
And when you get back,
there's somebody who wants to meet you.
You had the baby?
It's a boy.
Mackenzie Campbell.
Congratulations.
We'll all see you when you get back.
Travel safe.
I'll see you back in D.C.
