Rubicon

Previously on AMC's Rubicon...

- Thomas is my best friend. - What is he up to?

Roy is the person of interest for you, not Bloom.

Miles flagged him with the name Tanaz Sahar.

Spangler has a paperweight on his desk from Atlas MacDowell.

Who are we looking for?

I'd like you to meet two of my oldest and dearest friends.

James Wheeler, R.C. Gilbert.

What's that?

We have a window of opportunity to eliminate Kateb.

- If Will comes to you... - Why would he come to me?

Oh, God... There's someone.

Don't touch the knight.

Or the pawn.

Can I move the bishop?

You're not that dumb, and I don't need you

to throw the game just to buck my ego.

Just move the queenside rook.

I'm sorry I'm not a more challenging partner.

It's not that difficult; Just look for the patterns,

lines of attack.

All right, what can I move now?

It's mate in six.

It's all right.

You'll do better.

You knew Hadas was onto something.

That he thought he was in danger.

You never told me.

David didn't want you getting into it.

Wanted to protect you.

I knew that wasn't a possibility...

mind like yours.

Ed... I'm not angry.

I just need you to know something.

I found a taped conversation

between you and David.

Just before he died.

You need to be careful.

It's safe to say they have eyes on you.

Yes, it is.

What's your take on Kale Ingram?

Pure.

Linear.

Drill.

Bores right through.

Believes what he believes, will not waver,

which, I guess, is honorable, from a certain angle.

Can I trust him?

Hell no.

Every 15 days they do this?

Yeah.

Seems excessive.

Tanya MacGaffin?

Good luck.

Hi.

Hey. How you doing?

Good.

Were you just, um...?

Yes, yes. Did you get called?

Not this time.

Hmm.

I find it a little undignified,

peeing in front of another adult.

I find that.

Yes.

Hey, Maggie.

Do you, uh...

Do you remember that birthday lunch you promised me?

Yeah.

You think I could take you up on that this week?

Yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

Good. Uh, we'll...

We'll do that.

Anything new?

No.

Checked his trash?

His desk drawers?

Nothing.

Paper clips, rabbit's foot.

Pockets of his coat?

Two candy wrappers.

Kind of candies?

I don't know. Hard candy.

Had Japanese writing on it.

There wasn't a bag of this candy around somewhere?

No.

That's not nothing.

Has he asked you out yet?

No.

He's a fool not to.

I don't think I could say yes.

Why not?

You'd say yes.

You'd say yes.

Tanya MacGaffin?

Yeah.

If you'll get your things and come with us.

Um, what's going on?

It's all right, Tanya,

they're just a couple of spooks.

I'm off duty.

It's national security, ma'am.

What do you think it is?

I have no idea.

It's got to be something big.

How was your involuntary week off?

It was miserable.

With too much free time,

I become a sort of Pajama'd disaster.

Hey, guys, I'm Bob.

First off, thanks, really.

Uh, either of you need coffee?

Andre, round up two cups of coffee

before we take off, would you?

Yes, sir.

So,

you two did a strike authorization analysis

on an Indonesian Al-Qaeda target

named Asif Khalil, alias Kateb.

At the time, our boots-on-the-ground people

were convinced Kateb was killed

during the strike.

Now, well, they think we may have missed him.

Well, if you missed Kateb,

that's-that's on you, not us.

If we missed.

Thanks. Cream and sugar?

Akmed Ahmed Nasri.

Egyptian-born Al-Qaeda living in Jakarta.

We scooped him up two days ago.

Now, if Kateb survived the strike,

Nasri knows where he is.

We want you to help us verify what he says.

You know the material better than anyone.

Central intelligence has the full sign-off of your superiors

at API on this. I take it Nasri's not

down in the county lockup.

He's at a classified location.

So not Gitmo?

Classified.

You want us to get on a plane to nowhere?

So where are you?

I'm looking at Atlas MacDowell.

And?

And I could use some guidance.

I can't tell you where to look.

Maybe you could tell me what to look for.

Atlas ties Truxton to Mr. Roy...

Donald Bloom.

And?

Why are you even talking to me

if you're not going to help me?

Atlas is big.

Lot of hands in a lot of pockets.

Look for the patterns.

Patterns?

That's it?

It's what Ed Bancroft would tell you.

Ed likes Japanese hard candy.

There's a Japanese candy wrapper in your right pocket.

Use Ed.

He's as deep a thinker as they come.

Ed's fragile.

That's beside the point.

I don't need him. Seems like you do.

I am not gonna send him down the rabbit hole

just 'cause you want me to.

I don't want you to do anything, Will.

Except not end up like David.

Oh,

by the way... It was Maggie.

The candy wrapper.

The girl's really quite fond of you.

You ever notice spooks don't have last names?

Hi. I'm Bob.

Hi. I'm Andre.

Andre?

Where do you think we are?

Oh, well, flight time was 13.5 hours.

I'm... not sure when dawn broke,

so...

Kazakhstan.

Bulgaria.

The Falklands. Uh...

What does it matter... you know, off the grid's off the grid.

Yeah, I already tried that.

Did you see anything?

Trucks.

Grant should be here.

Grant gets a pass, because Grant has kids.

You have kids.

My kids don't live with me.

Since when?

Since talking about it will make my brain hurt.

Butter, please.

Thank you.
