Blindspot

Previously, on "Blindspot"...

Chief Inspector Fischer. This can't be good.

I'm opening an inquiry into the death of David Wagner.

You're never gonna be the head of the NYO.

You think I don't know you've been campaigning internally?

When was the first time you removed classified documents from the FBI's office?

And were you aware at the time that you were breaking federal law?

Patterson is a good agent. She stays.

This is Agent Sloane. She's going to be assisting us.

Olivia Delidio, Russian-born, married to an American for 12 years.

You'll be charged with espionage, treason, accessory to murder,

thrown in prison for the rest of your life, if you're lucky.

What are your orders?

We were given targets, people to kill.

- Hey, Allie. - Hello, Kurt.

You're a marshal now?

Yeah, I was looking for a change.

I'm going to untie you. I'm here to help you.

- I want answers. - Your colleagues, they're into

- some very terrible things. - They are my friends.

They're scared of you, and they should be.

I have missions for you.

Things that move us closer to our objectives.

You show me you can be trusted, and I'll...

tell you everything you want to know.

What is Orion?

Orion is where you died.

It was an operation.

Things went sideways, you went off the grid.

I don't understand.

Orion is why you're here.

Why we're all here.

But I can't tell you more.

Not yet.

You can't trust them.

They trust you, so I trust you.

You did this to yourself.

You did this to yourself.

Hmm.

Walk of Shame, huh?

Who said I'm ashamed?

Why haven't I met this guy?

Since when do you care who I'm dating?

Since you started keeping it a secret.

How was Dad last night?

He was all right.

He's a bit bothered by the cancer meds.

Yeah.

Well, just glad you guys are talking again.

- Yeah. - And all it took was a terminal illness

and the return of a murdered girl

to bring the Weller family back together again.

That's not funny.

Yeah... I mean, it's a little funny.

I think it's funny.

An innocent man is dead.

Because of your actions.

Hey.

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, fine. Uhh!

This wouldn't have anything to do with

that Russian spy's final arraignment today, would it?

Are you sure you want to be here today?

Nobody would fault you, if you want...

I just want to get past all this David...

I... I just want things

to go back to the way that they were.

I appreciate your concern.

How did you not work this out before?

This is the first I'm hearing of this,

- Your Honor. - Well, it shouldn't be.

If your client truly has that name,

it is vital to national security.

- I know an... - We'll need a deal on the table

before my client says anything further.

You've got 15 minutes.

Make it happen.

What the hell was that?

I'm your attorney, you blindside me with this?

Bluffing is not going to get you...

It's not a bluff.

I couldn't risk the name getting out before I saw the judge.

You really have a name?

Yes, on my children's lives,

I swear to you, I have the name.

Do you think this could buy me a way out?

Yeah.

I think it might.

_

What's going on in there?

Aaah!

Sawyer.

You little idiot.

- What's so funny? - Sawyer...

This video. Look at that.

Sarah sent it to me.

Of Sawyer.

Oh, um, I think you're getting a call.

Oh, yeah.

I, uh, yeah.

I, um...

Okay, I'll, uh,

I'll see you out there.

Okay.

What? When?

Well, how the hell did that happen?

Well, who else knows about this?

No, no, I'll handle it.

What's wrong?

That was the director.

Olivia Delidio was just killed at her arraignment.

- By who? - Her lawyer.

Right before she was about to name a Russian intelligence source.

She was being silenced.

What have we got on the lawyer?

The lawyer's dead, too.

All we have is the location of the source.

- Where? - Here.

The NYO has been compromised.

The FBI has a mole.

A traitor, in here?

The director wants me to investigate everyone in the building,

everyone with access to the building.

If we start looking around, asking questions, it's gonna raise red flags.

Which is why I want you to handle it, quietly.

We'll start with Olivia's killer.

Work out who hired her.

Not "we."

Just you.

No one can know your real objective.

It needs to look like business as usual.

I'm not lying to my team.

Sometimes you have to.

Look...

I think we need to prepare for the possibility

that it could be one of our guys.

And even if it's not, internal investigations are divisive.

You start looking for one thing,

who knows what else you're gonna find?

So Olivia's assassin was pretending to be a lawyer?

No, she was a lawyer.

Maria Blanter. She works for a firm the Russian embassy keeps on retainer.

She was a fixer. Olivia was obviously a problem for someone in the Russian embassy.

- Maria fixed it. - He's right.

So how do we prove it?

If you want to directly tie the embassy to criminal activity,

you're gonna need someone from inside.

We believe Russian diplomats are running an illegal smuggling ring.

But every time I get close, they shut down and switch things up.

- Now I know why... - Uh, Sloane,

can I talk to you outside for a sec?

Sloane, what are you doing?

I heard about the courthouse.

That Olivia was gonna name an inside player here.

Thought you might want some help.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm FBI counterintelligence.

It's my job to know these things.

The Russian spy ring was my case, remember?

Fine.

Don't mention the inside man.

You think it's one of them?

Start working the embassy angle.

You stay on the door.

I need someone on that elevator, the conference room.

Jackson, see what's down there. You two with me.

Well, you're certainly setting the bar low for your replacement, Bethany.

Not that I'm surprised.

Did you call the OPR?

No, she didn't, the director did.

I was just about to give my orientation speech

for the new OPR agents, a rare honor,

but then I get a call

saying this outfit's been compromised... again.

Chief Inspector Jonas Fischer, Office of Professional Responsibility.

- I know who you are. - Ah.

This team has never been compromised.

Well, I respectfully disagree.

And I didn't cram myself onto a sweaty train

during morning rush hour to watch the FBI bungle

a Robert Hanssen-level breach... again.

I'm gonna need a polygrapher.

I'll need a holding space for the suspect,

somewhere out in the open, please.

And, you know,

I'll use this office

for follow-up questioning.

Jonas, let's take it down a notch.

This situation needs to be handled with discretion.

Heh, this isn't my first square-dance, Bethany.

You turn this into a witch-hunt, you risk spooking them all.

This office is rife with irresponsible behavior

and dangerous infractions, and...

today, I'm going to find out every last one.

Someone get me a Turkish coffee?

Please and thank you.

What the hell was that about?

He's been angling for my job for the better part of a year.

He's gonna use this investigation to embarrass us and push me out.

The last thing that we need is that guy in charge.
