Peacemaker

- (KEYPAD BEEPING) - JOHN ECONOMOS: So, obviously, that's the bathroom.

And the break room is down there on the right, obviously.

- Um, what else? - REPORTER: (ON TV) Amanda Waller will step aside

- as she faces upcoming congressional hearings. - Oh, check it out. You're on TV.

The president has appointed Rick Flag

as the new acting director of ARGUS...

- (SCOFFS) - (REPORTER SPEAKING ON TV)

What? That's not exciting to you?

I know Waller was all about self-promotion,

but that's not really my bag.

Yeah, A-Dubs did have her quirks.

- What? - Dubs.

- W. Amanda Waller. - Yeah.

You know, this post wasn't my choice,

but I'm not sure the president had any other options, so...

My old pal Rick Flag.

- We're old pals now? - Thought we were.

Are you sucking up to me right now, Economos?

- Just a little. - It's not gonna work.

Yeah, well, it was worth a shot.

And this is your office.

Uh, you need anything else?

- (DOOR CLOSING) - Actually, yes.

I'd like to see a full report of my son's death.

- Your son? - Rick Flag Jr. was killed

in Corto Maltese.

I tried to get the files immediately after it occurred,

but they said it was classified.

As acting director of ARGUS,

I'd like to take a look at them now.

Is there a problem with that, son?

No. I... it's just... I didn't want, you know,

- it to be upsetting? - Upsetting?

I think I can handle it, Economos.

Of cour... Of course, you can.

It's just that day was complicated

and any actions taken were under the order of Waller,

and most of us didn't even know.

Get me the fucking files, John.

Yes, sir.

I'm tired of coverin' up their dirty little secrets.

This time, these sons of bitches are gonna be held account...

That information gets out,

it causes an international incident!

Keeping the peace is worth any price.

Including the life of a hero like yours, sir.

- (GRUNTS) - (GROANS)

- (METAL CLANGING) - (GROANS)

Peacemaker. What a joke.

- Bordeaux. - Sir?

I want a surveillance unit on Christopher Smith,

24/7, immediately.

Sir, the Peacemaker is in our agency's grace

because of his work in Project Butterfly.

Fuck the Peacemaker.

- Oh, shit! - (HELMET CLANGS)

Fuck.

Fuck!

You still have those bone saws?

Hi, babies! Yes! (LAUGHS) Aw!

Come here, come here. Oh yes, I missed you.

Oh, Mommy's missed you guys. Oh, ho, ho.

Lee? - Oh shit. Fuck.

What are you doing?

I was on my way over to Chris's,

so I thought I'd stop by and get my hair shit...

You can't just come into this place unannounced.

- I thought you were at work. It doesn't matter.

You need to text me before coming over.

Why?

Because that's what civilized people do

when they break up, Lee.

Thought it was just time off.

What's the difference?

A lot.

Okay. (EXHALES)

I'm sorry.

Why are you going to see that lunkhead anyway?

He ain't a lunkhead.

He's, like, being really vulnerable lately.

Sexy new uniform.

You doing okay otherwise?

Other than what?

Other than having to wear that uniform, I guess.

That's funny?

Man, you just... you're salty for no reason.

- Oh, for no reason? - I mean.

No reason? Okay, other than you changing

every single aspect of our relationship,

every single plan that we had, overnight?

We were supposed to be going back to Gotham, Lee.

And now what?

You're staying here to start a... a... a spy business?

People gotta follow their dreams, Key.

- Even you said that. - Yeah, not when their dreams

are leeching off of somebody else's reality.

I'll go... - (KEEYA SCOFFS)

...because this is gonna end stupid.

It started stupid

when you broke into my apartment.

All right.

Love you.

(MUTTERS) Fuck.

- (DOORBELL CHIMES) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Connolly, your prescription's ready.

Hi. I'm...

I'm sorry I couldn't help notice you

when I was standing over there.

I don't mean to intrude, and I don't know your situation,

but if you're going through something difficult,

if you're with someone who's hurting you,

I have resources that could help.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah.

Often, we get trapped in a cycle

and we think what's happening to us is okay.

Mm-hmm.

And I just want to tell you, it's not.

I appreciate it. That's not what this is.

Okay.

So often, women deny what's happening...

I am not a fucking mirror!

- What? - I have my own problems, okay?

Okay. - All right?

Is that okay with you?

Sorry.

You got a good view there, Beaker?

Beaker? Who's...

He's a Muppet.

- Do I look like him? - A little.

- And that's bad? - It's not good.

Whoa. That's intense.

Who the fuck are you?

Fleury. Bordeaux sent me.

Let me see your badge. And reach slowly.

I don't have to do shit slowly, Kemosabe.

You can't discharge that firearm while it's still in the holster.

But I will do it slowly...

because I'm polite.

I should get a call if somebody's coming.

- (GUN THUDS) - (SIGHS)

Well, Bordeaux thought you might need some backup.

- (VAN DOORS CLOSING) - So, what's your preferred form of greeting?

Handshake, fist bump, hug?

You a hugger, Economos?

No, I'm not a hugger.
