And stop trying to...
Cheers.
We have his photo out everywhere.
Budapest.
- Did it? - Yeah.
Cam, happy belated.
Maya.
No way!
As soon as the weather warms up.
It's run by a former stuntwoman here.
I thought it was a massage.
Advanced motorcycle course? Brilliant.
You'll never get a course like this in the States.
The regulations are damn near irresponsible.
It's dope.
It's crazy thoughtful. Thank you.
You know, when one of us starts dating someone new,
we can get a little protective.
But you,
you're exactly what Raines needs.
I'll drink to that.
So how exactly did you find this stunt course?
It's so random, now that I think about it.
We had this Australian guy who kept coming into Zizi's.
All the regulars knew him.
And he had this insane tattoo
I kept noticing literally every time...
The answer is darkness.
What is it with you Langley guys and these riddles?
Your presence is requested.
Tell your partner relax. We're not going far.
Make sure your phone is off.
I'll let you catch up.
- Scott Forrester. - Pavel Novikoff.
- It's been a while. - Since Croatia.
- Shouldn't you be stateside? - I still am, on paper.
You know, we pulled a lot of strings to get you asylum.
Guy with your clearance betraying the motherland?
You are high up on Russia's hit list.
Well, I'm not here because I missed the goulash.
Trust me when I say this is important... life or death.
What I'm about to share is highly sensitive.
Does the name of Vladislav Pavlovic ring a bell?
Yeah.
We traded a ballerina getting her big break
for Vlad getting 50 years.
But I can see on your face something's changed.
Apparently he caught wind about an imminent transfer
to maximum security.
Five days ago, there was a prison break in Omsk.
Vlad's out.
And you think he's coming to Budapest?
Yeah, it seems like when you took his brother's life,
you made yourself a target.
It's not like I had a choice.
There was only one of us walking out of there.
What threat level are we talking here?
The highest. This is a vendetta, a blood feud.
Vlad has dozens of bodies to his name,
and he's just sprung from a Siberian prison to get to you.
Clawing one's way out of Russia.
That's a lot of ground to cover.
Dominoes are already falling.
A Jeep was found on an airstrip outside Omsk...
Dead pilot inside.
- They've hijacked his plane. - They?
We believe Vlad has an accomplice.
I appreciate the heads-up and you coming all this way,
but my team can take it from here.
This intel I've offered up,
you'd never hear it from official channels.
It's not safe for you in Budapest.
I'm alive today because of the American government.
Because of you, Scott.
Let me repay the debt.
I'm already here, and like it or not,
you're on the edge of a precipice.
You're signing off on this?
No, I'm just a sucker for the jet lag.
Try to keep our asset in one piece.
Vladislav Pavlovic.
Blue-chip contract killer who operated
out of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Minsk.
43 confirmed kills to his name,
including a CIA case officer, Michael Rafferty.
Now, Vlad was on deck to serve his official sentence
in an Omsk supermax, but clearly he had other plans.
Piotr Efremov's dodging me. Not a single call returned.
The deal we made was for Vlad to stay shackled.
We're short by about 50 years.
- What about Vlad's accomplice? - Sergei Diatchenko.
He's a corrections officer at the prison.
Now, we found that he had no prior connection to Vlad,
so the two must have met when he transferred there.
And so far, his criminal record came up empty.
We've recently confirmed a twin-engine plane
was found ditched in a Turkish airfield.
Tail number proves it's Russian,
linked to the dead pilot they found in Omsk.
Meaning Vlad is officially out of Siberia.
Put out a Red Notice.
If he's inching this way,
I want every cop in Europe to know about it.
Hey, we've got to get you out of the country.
I'm not hiding.
Sorry, Scott. It's protocol.
Me leaving Budapest, it is not gonna stop this guy.
If I run, it only is gonna put more bodies
between me and Vlad.
You want to stay local, fine,
but we're implementing some safety measures.
You'll be safe here.
RSO hooked it up.
The building was recently renovated,
and there's cameras out front.
Vo has agreed to the night shift.
Kellett, I've got to be honest,
this whole thing feels overblown.
Scott, you've been marked,
and the threat is more than credible.
A safe house is the bare minimum.
Our pal, Novikoff, he's pretty convinced
that Vlad is not gonna let this go.
Novikoff is the other reason I'm on edge.
I mean, he is a spy who defected.
Can we really trust this guy?
My mother did, and he's given me no reason to doubt him.
I thought he was a high-priority asset.
Why would the CIA send him over in person for this?
And why is all of it off the record?
I...
Yeah?
Novikoff's back channels came through.
We got a line on Sergei's phone.
Service is tied to a Russian provider,
but we can track his signal with the cell towers here.
Hey, you got your laptop near you?
- Yeah. - Stand by.
- All right, got it. - All right.
Now you're seeing what we're seeing.
Sergei's been using his phone in short bursts
ever since they landed in Turkey.
You're looking at every tower hit over the last 48 hours.
His phone is only on for a few minutes at a time,
but it's enough to track the position
and frequency of these triangulations.
Check out these timestamps.
Sergei's really legging it.
He's on a moving train. Smitty, get the HNP mobilized.
If Sergei is here,
there's still good chance Vlad is with him.
ID that train.
We intercept at the next stop.
It's the N-40 out of Sofia.
Last phone hit was near Szeged an hour ago.
Train's already in Hungary.
He's coming right for you.
Take him.
All right. Clear the way.
Hey, stay in your seat.
- It's all right. - Stay calm.
Oh, no! No, please! Please don't shoot!
- Don't shoot. - Where is he?
- Where's Vlad? - I don't know.
He... he left me.
Guys.
- Forrester. - What is it?
We lost Vlad. He's off the train.
Four dead bodies at the prison,
one on the airstrip.
Guy on the train makes six.
You and Vlad have been busy.
Please, my phone.
I need my phone!
Why?
So you can check in with your co-conspirator?
We know you linked up with Vlad while he was behind bars.
What's the nature of your relationship?
Relationship?
I was nothing. A servant.
Whatever he needed inside, I would get...
Phone calls, packages.
I'm in his pocket, you see?
- He paying you? - No.
Raines.
Yuri and Alexei.
My boys.
There is a man in Omsk.
I'm told he has no family, no home.
He is a killer, watching my sons,
and he waits on an order from Vladislav.
I had no choice but to cooperate.
So you helped him escape under duress?
I did what any father would do to keep his children alive!
How did you two make it this far?
He arranged for everything.
A stolen plane got us to Ankara.
From there, forged documents put us on trains.
Yeah, so Vlad needed you to smuggle him
through every checkpoint that you set up.
