Covert Affairs

I just keep thinking that it's got to stop.

It has to end. We have to find some place more normal.

For people like us, there is no normal.

So, is that it? Is this the end?

I guess so.

You want me as DCS? What about Joan Campbell?

She'll have a chance to properly

compete for the job when the time comes.

Is that who I think it is?

Do you think it's Khalid Ansari,

son of one of the most powerful oil men in Saudi Arabia?

Mossad believes Khalid is moving money through charities to terror organizations.

Killing you would be the easiest thing in the world right now.

But it won't solve anything.

You went after Arthur, and Joan.

You've crossed every line, Henry.

When you get back, there's somebody who wants to meet you.

It's a boy. Mackenzie Campbell.

I'll see you back in D.C.

Ripped By mstoll

This is interesting, man.

Okay. Nobody debates, right,

that the Italians invented pizza.

But in the case of the calzone,

we've got the Swedish, the Greeks,

even the Scottish claiming them.

Stop it. You're making me hungry.

Well, we can order some...

Auggie.

Yeah.

Hello?

Thank you.

Annie's back.

What did she say?

Voicemail.

Outgoing message said she wants to meet me alone on the mall in an hour.

We reverse-tracked Annie's entrance into the metro system.

Traced her as far back as Albany.

Before that, she's a ghost.

What does that suggest to you?

That she doesn't want us to know where she's coming from.

Four months off the grid?

Suddenly she wants to meet?

Why alone? Why now?

I don't know, Calder.

I imagined a different sort of homecoming.

Auggie.

Annie.

Thanks for coming alone.

You look good.

I've taken up judo.

You should check it out, it's a hoot.

It's good to see you, too.

I know there've gotta be a lot of questions

about where I've been and what I've been doing, but...

I'd like to come back to work.

Good. You should come back to Langley with me.

We didn't have to do this here

unless you wanted to hit the Air and Space Museum first.

I wanted to talk to you.

To explain myself without prying Agency ears and eyes.

What did you wanna say?

I'd like you to be my handler again.

I'd like to go back to when things were simpler.

Before I went dark, before Henry,

before everything got so messy.

I've had a lot of time to think about myself and the Agency.

And I've realized that I can't do this job

and have emotional attachments.

I've gotta concentrate solely on the work.

I hope that's okay.

Annie, you dropped off the map there for a while.

Time passed. We're good.

Really?

Yeah. Really.

Why, did you wanna make out or something?

Welcome back, Annie.

Let's start again from the beginning.

After Hong Kong, you went to Turkey,

the Datca Peninsula.

Yes. You had spotters there.

But you evaded our spotters.

Where did you go?

To another beach. Fatu Hiva, South Pacific.

For the last four months?

Yes.

And now I'm ready to return

to the agency I've faithfully served for four years.

Any other locations?

No.

Did you have contact with any spies...

What's the machine saying?

Line is steady on every question.

Well, that would indicate she's telling the truth.

But she's not.

What's she holding back?

No, I did not.

Go.

So...

You passed.

Not so fast.

What are you not telling us, Annie?

You just said I passed the poly.

You beat the poly.

A machine doesn't know you like Auggie and I know you.

You wanna tell us what's going on?

I took out Henry Wilcox.

I took four months off.

And now I'm ready to come back to work.

Calder?

Line one. Priority.

Calder Michaels.

Auggie.

Can you talk to him?

I can, but...

But what?

But it's a valid question.

We're just trying to look out for you, Annie.

Timetable's changed. A very dangerous friend of yours

was just spotted on a surveillance camera

in Chicago. Who?

Khalid Ansari.

Khalid Ansari's on American soil?

Exactly. This is major.

A guy like Khalid, smart, careful...

He's on all the watch lists.

Why would he take that risk?

He dropped out of sight in Riyadh a few days ago.

But we never thought he'd reappear on US soil.

Annie, you know this guy.

We need you in Chicago.

We have an off-book facility there.

You'll meet with the chief. He'll get you set up.

I understand.

Hold on.

Don't think we're finished here.

Walker.

Welcome.

Charles Schinderman.

Auggie Anderson spoke very highly of you.

Ah. I hope so.

He was the best man at my wedding.

Guy gives a hell of a toast.

I'm sorry about the mess.

This is my wife's car.

Mine is in the shop with a timing belt issue.

Let's get you to the facility.

I didn't think Khalid Ansari

would risk coming stateside.

Well, when one of the most wanted men

in financing terror pings inside the loop,

something big's gonna happen.

My file says you were the one

that turned him against his father.

I just gave Khalid some facts.

He killed his father all on his own.

Where are we at now?

Right now, we're trying to figure out

how he got into the country.

What alias he might be using,

who he's contacted.

We're canvassing the Muslim community,

trying to figure out who might be harboring him.

That's not his style.

Show his picture on some of the luxury hotels.

The ones that are most discreet

about high-end pros.

He likes white girls.

Probably used a Western name.

So, here we are.

Home sweet off-book home.

You can drop your gear here.

Make yourself comfortable.

Scratch that.

We've located Khalid. He's at the Bradham Hotel.

Nice instincts, Walker.

What are we looking at?

Bell captain says he checked into room 8273 about an hour ago.

All right, let's keep it low-profile.

Four guys inside the hotel.

No guns unless we have to.

You're with us.

You two, seal off the exits.

Jacob.

Khalid?

Stop.

Annie Walker of the CIA.

Of course it's you. I'm such a fool.

Put the gun down. I can protect you.

Oh, protect me? Then tell them to put their guns down!

Tell 'em!

Put your guns down.

Put 'em down.

You know me well enough to know that what I say is true.

There's a way out of this.

You put the gun down,

you tell me what you're doing in Chicago,

and we'll walk out of here together.

You don't know?

Then I'm an even bigger fool.
