Salvation

- Previously on Salvation... - RE/SYST.

The hacker group sent you the photo unsolicited?

Yeah.

I should get something for my troubles, no?

I've done a deep dive on Zoe Barrows.

She friended me.

Our parents are dating.

You're back.

Two conditions.

First, I'm gonna lead the room.

Done.

And the other thing?

I want to know what I'm really working on.

There's a manhunt for Darius Tanz

and Grace Barrows in Moscow.

They're wanted for murder.

- Professor Croft. - Welcome to Moscow.

You're not dead.

Son of a bitch!

Atlas is a weapons program.

Yes, except the weapon

was an asteroid.

And we crashed it into Russia?

Can the United States of America and Russia

ever learn to trust each other after all that happened?

Well, the Russians say there's no deal

unless Grace and Darius run point on this operation.

Seems they're the only ones the Russians trust.

And the only ones we don't.

Grace Barrows, you're under arrest.

What?

For violation of the Logan Act.

But only if you want it to.

Zoe?

Hey, Zoe. Thank God it's you.

Yes, I'm fine. I'm okay.

I'm so sorry about what happened here.

It's just a-a huge misunderstanding.

Honey, it's a long story.

The important thing is that I'm home and I'm safe.

No, no, no, you stay put at Dad's.

We'll talk in the morning, okay?

I love you.

Hi, Daddy, it's me.

I think I need your help.

The EmDrive... they said it couldn't be done.

But we did it.

It's beautiful.

Let's admire it while we can,

because tomorrow it moves to the launch bay.

And to think, all it took was a billion dollars,

a supercomputer, an extremely rare space rock...

And a turncoat professor.

Yeah.

I still can't believe Croft's alive.

He sent his most sincere apologies, by the way.

I don't know if I feel better or worse

that I'm not a killer.

If it's any consolation,

the Russians didn't seem particularly enamored with him.

And do you think we can trust them

not to double-cross us?

This is the only one of its kind.

If anything happens to it,

we do not have time to build a new one.

Which is why the EmDrive stays with me

and the launch codes stay with Tess

until I'm satisfied that the Russians

and the Pentagon play nice.

Big day tomorrow.

Good work, Liam.

Good thing your mother and I didn't take that cruise.

Just the one slug, right?

Anyone else know about this?

I don't know who I can trust.

What are you doing?

He was carrying a Beretta PX4.

No serial number, custom compensator,

six-inch silencer.

Meaning?

The guy was a pro.

If we can I.D. him,

we might be able to figure out who hired him.

What exactly did you do

for the CIA?

I'm not sure why I thought you'd answer that.

It's encrypted.

I know a guy pretty good with technology.

He should be able to crack it.

I know a guy, too.

Trust me, mine's better.

Look, I'm sorry I... brought you into this.

You did the right thing.

I'll cash in some favors.

In a few hours, there'll be no blood, no DNA, no body.

You'll never know anything happened here.

But I will know.

I'll know a man tried to kill me in my living room.

I mean, how do I keep that from Zoe?

H-How do I even go back to work?

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna go upstairs and get dressed,

as if it were any other day.

You're gonna put on your makeup.

You're gonna walk into the Pentagon

like you've done a thousand times before.

Because there's nothing else you can do.

When you come across the person

who never expected to see you again,

you'll know it.

Well, shall we get started?

First, Defense Minister Toporov,

I'd like to thank you for agreeing

to this joint effort between Russia and the United States.

Don't thank me, thank Mr. Tanz and Ms. Barrows.

Their courageous actions made this possible.

Don't fret, Mr. Minister, Grace has already been given

the standard American pat on the back for a job well done.

Right, Mr. Deputy Secretary?

Mr. Tanz, if you please, take us through the plan.

Certainly.

First...

we install the EmDrive on the gravity tractor.

We then load that onto the Goliath Two rocket.

Once in orbit, the EmDrive will initiate thrust,

and propel the GT to the asteroid.

And once it reaches it?

Flies alongside it,

creates a gravitational force that pulls the asteroid

off its trajectory.

Just enough to miss our fair planet.

But to accomplish this,

we have to launch within 72 hours.

The GT takes four weeks to get

to the asteroid, and as many months

to do its job, and we're out of time.

Grace? Grace?

Excuse me?

The deal? About the launch codes?

Yes, uh, our government has agreed to grant Darius

and his team full control of the gravity tractor launch,

with joint supervision by both Russian and U.S. officials.

To ensure there's no foul play, on either side.

Our scientists maintain there are still risks.

There's risk when you walk across the street.

This option is, to be frank,

our last best hope to preserve life on this planet.

Your terms are acceptable.

My scientists will stand at the ready.

Upon success,

may we usher in a new era of peace.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

In light of all that's transpired

between our nations, we thank you

and your country for this leap of faith.

I'm not always the keenest observer of moods,

but if I'm not mistaken, you don't seem very happy about...

...saving the world.

Someone tried to kill me.

What?

Last night, after you left, someone was in my house.

- Are you all right? - Me? Yeah.

Him not so much.

You didn't call the police.

My father handled it. Don't ask.

Why would someone want me dead?

Atlas?

Or to blow the deal.

If you wouldn't have shown,

the Russians would've gotten spooked,

called off the launch.

This is all we found on the body.

It's encrypted. If you can crack it, maybe we can...

Someone's checking in.

To see if the job was done.

Grace, we're gonna find out who targeted you,

and when we do, there'll be hell to pay.

Here you go.

New I.D. badge, new title.

Skybox supervisor.

Hey.

If the gravity tractor is gonna launch,

why is Darius moving forward with the Ark Project?

That's a worst-case scenario, you know.

Not sure I can do this.

- What? - Just...

look them in the eye, lie to their faces?

Well, does it... does it help that Mason's a prick?

No.

Remember you have an important mission...

and it's for the greater good.

That's the way I got through it.

Liam, I, uh...

I just can't...

jump back into... us.

I'm still trying to process everything that's happened.

No, I know. I know.

Can we just... take it slow?

Sure.
