Covert Affairs

Small fix: Xenzai

See You.

Bye.

We're not going to the greenbriar next week.

Michael has to finish a policy paper and can't get away.

Mommy, mommy, chloe's teasing me!

I am not! She's teasing me, mommy!

Didn't you need some time away from them?

no. Never.

Auggie.

I have to ask.

No, you don't.

When you picked up yesterday's outfit

Off the floor this morning,

Did you think no one would notice?

- No comment. - You're on the walk of shame.

You're holding my arm,

So technically, it's our walk of shame.

Although, it hardly seems fair you get the shame and no fun.

Who is it?

That is so funny that you think I'm gonna tell you.

Hey. Conference room, guys.

Joan. The sound of your necklace gives you up.

I only like that trick when you do it to other people.

Special activities division is en route to brief you.

This week, you belong to them,

But we're goa let you operate out of here because...

Not everyone has a braille keyboard

And an embedded document reader with voice recognition?

Because I know you like your desk arranged just so.

Ah.

This drone is programmed to drop hellfire missiles

On a meeting of all-star tribal leaders.

What's wrong with this picture?

No one was there.

They knew we were coming.

This is the third mission in two weeks

That has been compromised.

After the first, we shut down assets in syria and iraq...

To no avail.

So it's happening on our side.

That was the theory. We also limited briefings

To essential personnel in clandestine services.

Mission details still got out.

Who could it be?

There's really only one possibility left.

A United States senator.

More specifically, a member of the intelligence committee.

They have compartmented clearance

Higher than top secret.

Only they have access to these missions.

I don't have to tell you all how big this is.

No member of the senate's been convicted for treason

Since 1797. - But how?

The senate intelligence briefing room is secure.

No documents. Not even notes can be taken out.

Well, that's where all of you come in.

Each of you will use your noc to gain access

To a targeted senator.

Jai's running point onhis.

Okay. Read-in privileges.

There are none. This is completely off book.

If the senate knew we were

Spying on them in their own backyard,

We'd have another FISA situation.

Why are we doing it?

Because you're young and you're nobody.

You'll fit in perfectly on Capitol Hill.

- Who'd ya get? - Darton.

Lame duck facing ethics charges.

I like my chances. I got Wallenberg.

Isn't he the only one who opposed the war?

Oh, yeah. Who'd you get?

- Jarvis. - Gil Jarvis.

The committee chair. he's not the leak.

Joan basically said that.

senator Jarvis's office.

Please hold.

Can I help you?

Annie Walker.

I'm here from the Smithsonian to switch out the art.

As a courtesy every term,

We make pieces available

To members of the museum's board of regents...

Like the senator.

But you don't have an appointment.

My office should have called ahead-- can I see?

I was hostess at the palm in miami for two summers.

Well, who do I talk to?

You must be the Smithsonian gal.

I'm Gil Jarvis. Good to meet you.

Annie Walker. Thanks for making time for me, senator.

My pleasure.

But you have to thank my lovely wife Madeline.

Thats her lovely desk.

She's in charge of the way things look around here.

Come with me.

Now, you don't want to hang around too long.

She'll try to give you a makeover.

Not that you need one.

Please.

She did this room. There's no wet bar.

I just think Washington

Has had it's fill of drunken senators.

Madeline Jarvis. - Annie Walker.

Finally, a woman who's interested

In something more than politics.

The Smithsonian called about you this morning.

Welcome. - Thank you.

Senator, they're ready for you.

Ashley, this is Annie Walker from the Smithsonian.

She's gonna be taking things down and puttin' stuff up.

Hi. Ashley Briggs. Chief of staff.

Hi. I have that exact same sweater.

Good taste.

Annie. How do we get our hands

On Wyeth's whooping crane piece?

I think it would be a perfect vertical

For the reception area.

- Teachers union and Pakistan. - Uh-huh.

Uh...I'll find out. Andrew Wyeth.

No. N.C. Wyeth. Not the other one.

I said the whooping crane piece.

Y- you do know the collection, don't you?

Actually, we have nature paintings from both Wyeths

In our collection,

But I will make sure that you get the right one.

What's after the meetin'?

I need to freshen you on Pakistan,

And we can do the rundown

On the way to your 5:00 p. M. Intel briefing.

Excellent. Ladies.

We're on our way. - Annie.

Somethin' with animals.

You know, I just- I just love animals. Yeah.

You treat them like eggs!

Well, they're borrowed eggs.

I don't want to be the one to break 'em.

Hey, Jimmy. Frederico.

Yeah, we gotta make sure

Custodial hit's Jarvis's good tonight.

Yeah, we got plaster on the carpet.

Oh, right, it's Tuesday.

Okay, well, tell him to hit it good in the morning then.

Frederico, what happens in senator Jarvis's office

On tuesdays?

He work late that night.

I know he has a 5:00 P.M. Briefing,

But then what?

All they say is no noisy vacuum.

Oh. So you're not allowed in there at all.

no. But they clean his office

Two times, on Wednesday early in the morning,

And later time tonight.

You look perplexed.

- Perplexed? - Puzzled. Confused.

In need of a drink with a coworker.

I can't.

Jarvis has a secret meeting in his office Tuesday nights

After the intel briefing.

I have to find out who's invited and what goes on.

Ah. And you think you're going to find an answer doodling...

Curly, twirly thingies?

Pinwheels. No.

You're right.

I have to go back, don't I?

If you want answers, you have to dig.

Remember, these senators aren't gods.

They wanna be liked and they wanna succeed.

They're fallible.

Just like you and me.

just don't get caught.

It's a small painting, but it's priceless.

I probably just left it on his cart.

I'll be quick.

Nope. I'm not authorized.

If we wait till morning and it's gone,

Frederico and anyone who ever stamped his time card

Is gonna be held accountable.

There.

I need a swipe card duplicated

So I can return the original to it's rightful owner.

Spencer in I.T.

- Thanks. Oh, whoa. - 'Scuse me, ma'am.

Hard drives you needed, sir?

Oh, yeah, thank you. Can you put them on the table?

Yes, sir.

Ahem.

I'm playing catcher on operation Goliath.

That's for that high-threat tribal leader.

What's his name? - Touraj Nasir.

He's holed up on a compound on the pak-afghan border.

I'm dealing with incoming chatter and handling logistics.

Right now I am bingeing on power drinks

Because, with a ten-hour time difference,

I'm gonna be here all night.

You're oddly mesmerizing.

so the legend goes.

Can I ask you a question about men?

Mm-mm. Way too general a question for me to sign off on.
