Covert Affairs

Previously on Covert Affairs..

Your EKG looks a little erratic.

And the blood test revealed traces of nitrate medication.

Why did you change my medical records?

Hayley Price found out about your heart condition.

Don't you want to hear my side of the story?

Unless it's you telling us

that you don't have a heart condition,

it's not going to change our position.

You'll be reassigned as a language officer

in the DPD.

Mueller definitely wasn't responsible for Chicago.

Got a guy deep in the Russian embassy

who says he has proof someone else was behind the attack.

Hey! What are you doing here?

You don't live in the building.

You're following me!

Roger said he had an FSB file from a source

deep in the Russian embassy.

He was found with conspiracy theories.

You're suspended. We'll get it on the next one.

There's not gonna be a next one,

not for me, anyway. You're staying for a drink.

It's been a long time since I stayed up all night talking.

Coffee?

- Auggie, he's here. - Who?

The dog Walker that Roger said was following him.

I got to go.

What'd I miss?

Who was at the door?

Oh, it was just a work thing.

You're not leaving, are you?

No, I thought we were gonna have that coffee.

Hey, Joe, what can I do for you and the DCI?

The DCI wants us to talk.

Talk about what?

It's better if we talk in person--

9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

You got it.

These are all the tenants in Roger's building.

You see him? No.

What do we have on the security feeds

from the Brunswick train station?

- I'm on it. - Maybe he tailed Roger there.

Or McQuaid could have given him the heads-up.

Camera six.

There.

He's there, walking away from the accident.

Okay, so this guy, who was tailing Roger

and was there at the time of Roger's death,

shows up at McQuaid's house the next day?

They definitely seemed like they knew each other.

I got to take this to the DPD.

I'll work up a game plan.

If we take this to the DPD, they'll take over.

You know no one has better access to McQuaid than I do.

And you know you're under suspension, right?

I do.

That's part of my plan.

Mm-hmm.

Annie, if you're here to discuss your suspension,

there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm resigning.

Resigning?

So our last conversation didn't go the way you wanted,

and you're just giving up?

I'm not giving up.

My place is in the field.

So you're resigning on principle?

Because you haven't even tried being an analyst.

I've made up my mind.

Is there something else going on?

Other than being suspended by the Agency

I've faithfully served, no, nothing at all.

Annie...

I accept that you don't view me

as the kind of friend or leader that I have tried to be.

But if you resign,

this is you losing faith, not only in me and the Agency,

but also in yourself.

I took the liberty of ordering you a neat one.

Thank you.

How are you?

I know what's next for me.

What's that?

You were right.

The CIA is not a two-way street.

I'm worth more than they are valuing me at,

and I'm gonna make a move to the private sector.

Well, that is incredible. How about a toast?

How about a job?

Really?

You've been trying to recruit me since we met.

Are you sure that this is the best path?

Because of my heart?

No, I'm saying because we kissed this morning.

I don't want this job to prevent what happened this morning

from happening again.

You're the one always saying you can have it all.

First day at McQuaid's. How do I look?

You always look great.

I was able to get facial rec

on the security photo of our friend.

His name is Allen Langer.

He worked for McQuaid up until three years ago.

Allen Langer.

I'll see what I can find on the McQuaid database.

Or in McQuaid's personal computer.

- What's that? - It's called a salvage rabbit.

You just need to keep it within a meter of McQuaid's computer.

That sounds easy. What's the catch?

The catch is McQuaid Security

has some of the most sophisticated encryption

on the planet.

A hot sync could take five minutes or more.

Still sounds pretty straightforward.

Well, it is, except his computer's gonna freeze up

during the hot sync.

So, if he tries to use it, he'll know something's wrong.

You really think McQuaid wanted to silence Roger?

Yeah. Look, Annie,

we're gonna be spying on McQuaid together,

so I need to know,

are you emotionally involved with him?

No. I'm not.

When I talked to you about Roger,

you were in McQuaid's house at the crack of dawn,

and that was before any of this.

It's not an issue.

My head's in the game.

Okay, that's all I need to know.

In the aftermath of the DNI inquest,

which, let's face it, was a debacle,

we have some serious questions

about how your operatives respond to your directorship.

Look, operative Walker stepping out

of the DNI meeting-- I'm not talking

about Annie Walker. She is already gone.

Then who are you talking about?

The DCI believes that Auggie Anderson was involved

with Walker's efforts to lie to our Agency,

to hide her heart condition.

Now, she may be gone,

but the questions should be expanded to Anderson.

Respectfully, sir,

Auggie Anderson is one of my top handlers.

I've trusted him with a great deal in the past,

and he's never let me down.

He's also a friend.

Well, that's worse.

Your employee, who's also your friend,

seems to be lying to you.

So what are you asking me to do?

I'm not asking you to do anything.

I'm informing you of a potential problem.

How you handle that is up to you.

That's what leadership means.

Can I help you?

Uh, yeah, I'm looking for Ryan.

Mr. McQuaid is not in right now,

but I can take a message.

You are? Annie Walker.

Why don't you come with me? Your office is one level down.

Thanks.

And here we are.

As soon as you finish your starter paperwork,

I have your first assignment--

risk-assessing 15 skyscrapers in Dubai.

Now, as a probationary hire,

you have a clearance level of one.

It's a company policy. There are no exceptions.

I understand.

Miss Walker is needed for a meeting.

Excuse me.

Do you have any idea what this meeting's about?

It's with great pleasure that I introduce

our newest field operative, Annie Walker.

Not another speech!

Hey, keep it under an hour, all right?

I got a plane to catch.

Pete, if you piss on my God-given gift of oratory again,

you'll spend Christmas in Mogadishu.

I got to see Annie work firsthand on a few operations.

Working side by side, I witnessed a dedicated patriot

who will pursue a target at any cost

and a comrade who will gladly share a bourbon with you

at 10:00 a.m. in a hostile country.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are lucky to have her.

Okay, speech is over.

You may now enjoy the coffee and doughnuts.

Welcome aboard. Thanks.

My first day at the farm they gave me a two-hour lecture

on the code of conduct.

We do things differently here.

We should speak in the next couple of days

about what your first assignment might be.

Okay.

I wish you'd given me the heads-up about this.
