The Night Agent

- Go for Jenkins. - Cisco, what's up, brother?

We were roommates at Quantico.

Jay batra was a great analyst.

I'll find Jay and get the rest of the reports.

Our office received a bunch of suspicious activity reports. SARS.

Multiple large money transfers

from several American companies to a crypto wallet.

It belongs to Raúl zapata and the lfs.

How does a bush-league terrorist group SWAT a commercial airliner out of the sky?

It's got the broker's fingerprints all over it.

Eight years, three elections together.

Let's not forget who works for whom.

Vernon tyvek?

The compliance officer who filed all the SARS that Jay handed us.

Heroes in healing?

They're, a nonprofit for injured vets,

which seemed legit until I started flagging their activity.

What's your poison?

This analyst you want me to hand over…

I get what I want, you get what you want.

…I want names, corrupt agents within the FBI and the CIA.

We play this right. Record the exchange. His list for the analyst.

We could put him away for good, Peter.

I promised Jay I'd keep him safe.

Now you're asking me to dangle him in front of the biggest shark we know?

As we agreed.

Turn off the engine and get out of the vehicle now!

Get back! Now...

Catherine.

Team two, in position.

All units on my command.

Breach, breach, breach!

- Hey, don't move. - Clear!

Show me your hands. Get on the ground.

- Upstairs clear! - Get on the fucking ground! Don't!

- Get on the ground! - Get down, now!

Clear!

Shit.

Fuck.

- Shit. - Okay.

Call it in, Jenkins.

Officer down. Officer down.

Damn it!

Could've sworn I checked that door.

Fuller's been trying to throw us off all week.

- Just don't let it get to you. - Nah, man, that was on me.

That's why we do these things, Cisco, to leave our mistakes behind us.

- Just forget about it. - And to weed out the weakest link.

Cisco, you're not a weak link.

Nah, Pete, you're dead, and that's all my fault.

No, I'm not dead. I'm fine, okay? Look at me.

I'm good. I'm... this isn't real.

Man, this is a training exercise.

This is why we have them, so we can run them over and over again.

So we never have to learn what it feels like

to actually lose somebody when we're on this job.

Okay?

I mean, you good?

- Yeah, yeah. I'm good. - Good.

We're gonna run this till we get it right, I promise you.

- Okay? - Okay.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

She was a great agent.

She was a great person.

I should've talked Jay out of going. Should've talked Catherine out of going.

- This is on me, all of it. - Peter…

look, this broker has taken Catherine from me.

He's taken Alice. He took Rose.

- Sit down. - No.

I gotta do something about this. I gotta fix it, make it right.

It's the white house. That carpet's expensive. Sit down.

Did you notify her family?

Her sister, yes.

What about the other agents she oversaw?

What about sami? I know they were close.

We're working on it. Some agents are more reachable than others.

And for the moment, let's control what we can control.

This broker, forget about the crime. Just tell me about the man.

What's he like?

Corporate type? Finance guy? Military? What?

He's definitely made of money.

But…

What?

He was thinner than I remember him.

Something about the way he wore his hat. It was…

Reminded me of when my mom was going through chemo.

My dad had bought her this really expensive wig,

but I could tell she hated it.

She'd always wear this blue cap to cover it up.

But…

I don't know, it's like she was embarrassed by the cancer.

So the bastard's sick.

The bastard's human.

- Mr. President. - So…

I read the brief.

And while I think I followed most of it, I still have a few questions.

Like, how does an investigation into a low-level federal accountant

turn into a very public abduction on foreign soil,

and a sting-operation-slash-explosion

leaving a senior intelligence officer dead in New Jersey?

Mr. President, we've been following the intel where it leads.

The batra kid ran to Istanbul because he was scared,

but insisted he wanted to help us.

But now Catherine Weaver is dead,

and your analyst is missing.

- Whose idea was the sting operation? - I authorized it.

- Sutherland has been running point. - And we still like that idea?

I'm just asking. This is my first car bomb.

I understand.

So I hope you don't take it personally

when I question whether he's the right man for the job.

I'm the only option… sir.

- Did he tell you not to speak? - He did, yes.

You were answering phones in the basement here just a couple years ago,

is that right?

Yes, that's right.

Start from the beginning.

Jay batra claims that the missing SARS contain evidence

that the attack on flight pima 12 was funded by an American source.

Wallace, his boss, tried to stop the investigation

and attacked Jay,

who killed him in self-defense and fled the country.

Batra has now become a asset in a separate investigation.

Whoa, okay. What separate investigation? Is this another night action?

Former president Travers initiated it before your term began, sir.

There's a man.

We haven't verified his ID yet, but he's an information broker

that's compromised our intelligence agencies.

And we believe he might be the one who financed the attack on flight pima 12.

Batra uncovered this, he found the evidence,

and we believe that's why the broker targeted him to cover his tracks.

And Travers initiated it.

But the pima 12 attack hadn't happened yet.

What'd this man do before that?

We think that he was behind the UN leak on foxglove.

The leak that caused my opponent

to drop out of the race at the last minute.

Yes, sir.

- And no one thought to loop me in on that. - It had gone dormant.

This is the first activity since Travers gave the order.

You said you're the only option. Why is that?

I'm the only one who's seen the broker face-to-face.

I'm the only one who's talked to him.

And when he realized that, he threatened somebody that I cared about,

and then he tried to co-opt me.

So he killed Catherine Weaver, but he let you live. Why?

He thinks he can control me.

- Can he? - No, sir.

Okay.

Stay the course.

If this broker is as bad as you say,

there's no telling what he has his hands in, so let's find out.

But I want regular updates, and be discreet.

Yes, sir.

Now, I need to go have my wife tie this for me.

But thank you for coming in on such short notice,

and, mosley, send me the contact info for Weaver's family.

- I wanna call them. - Will do, Mr. President.

Did you see that?

He didn't even blink when I mentioned the UN leak.

- Keep your voice down. - Like it didn't get him elected.

It's possible he didn't know who it came from.

- Just reaped the benefits. - What happens?

If we find a connection between the broker and pot us, we report it? To who?

Tomorrow's problem.

I have the bureau working on subpoenas for the companies.

- That could take weeks. - Let me try the journalist.

Because reporters just love to help government officials

without getting anything in return.

I think I can convince her to do what's in Jay's best interest.

Fine. In the meantime, if the broker calls again…

- I'll let you know. - I got some guys on the hunt.

Chances are it'll come down to you, me, and that phone he gave you.

Got it.

And what happened to Catherine is on all of us.

Let's make this right for her.

Peter.

Chelsea. Long time.

Saw your name on the security list. Thought I'd say hi.

You look nice.

Is that a, standard-issue thing?

Governor's ball. Trying to blend in.

For the most part, at least.

Nice.

Last I heard from Rose, you were in New York?

I'm still there.

Yeah.

Yeah, how long you been on the, white house detail?

Been with hagan since the campaign.

- So you spend a lot of time around him? - Well, I'm in his vicinity a lot.

What's… what's he like when no one else is around?

Between us, he's… he's kind of great.

The whole family is.

What, are you disappointed?

No.

Just… sorry, I'm just curious.

- But I gotta go. - Yeah.

- Good seeing you. - Go.

Call me next time you're in town. It'd be good to catch up.
