Legends

Previously on Legends...

Martin is the most naturally gifted

deep cover operative that we've got.

Three out of four shrinks on the committee

found him unfit for duty.

There is no Martin Odum.

Everything about him is fake.

Need a favor, Bobby.

I'm hoping you can clean this up enough to make an ID. _

My friend died trying to find out who you are.

Meet me at Union Station.

I need to give you something.

Hey!

Who am I?!

There's a book, left pocket.

I can't, not when the mother's claiming

that I have it out for him.

Do you?

He's hardly showed up for class.

What kind of grade does she think I'm gonna give him?

- Come on. - Okay, you're right.

Is that...? Oh, man, was I speeding?

No, Dad, they only

pull you over if you're not speeding.

Thank you, Jane, I appreciate that.

Quiet, Jane.

I hope he's a nice one.

License

and registration.

Here we go.

Your license is expired, sir.

Please step out of the vehicle.

- Out of the car, sir. - What? I just renewed that last year.

- Now. - Can't you just do what he says?

Please have a seat.

Why are they putting him in the car?

I'd like to know what I did.

Who the hell are you?

Why are they getting out of the car?

Fellas need a hand?

Hey!

Help! Help!

They're not real police! Help!

Who the hell are you?

Where, where are you taking me?

Where are you taking my family?

How are you sleeping?

Fine.

Mmm. How many hours a night?

Um, four or five.

Sexual function. Normal?

Exceptional.

So I'm told.

Describe your mood today.

I'm walking on sunshine. Look,

I'm just trying to settle in.

You know, readjust to normal life and whatnot.

Why don't you just fill in the rest? I'm fine.

Martin, your covert status requires this evaluation.

Mm-hmm.

It's a condition of your employment.

Sure.

Um, could I get a coffee, please?

Yeah.

He's dodging the questions,

and you know how he gets away with it.

We don't know if that accent's even real.

What does the man have to do to prove himself to you?

Convince me he's mentally fit for duty.

He saved your life.

The word that springs to mind is "hero. "

I know in your line of work you've killed people.

Okay.

Flawed hero.

Criminals. It happens.

Why did you and Sonya decide to separate?

Sir, if I can't control my operative,

- I can't do my job. - None of your business.

Then request a transfer.

I'm happy to make a call.

There are reasons for asking these things, Martin.

Excuse me. I have a debrief

with the U.S. Attorney to prep for.

Relationships can affect an undercover's state of mind.

Agent McGuire, I put you and Martin together

because you're both the best at what you do.

Jeopardizing the case.

That's your concern, isn't it?

You can make major cases here.

The DCO can be your ticket to deputy ranks.

Washington.

Don't take the shot for granted.

Yes, sir.

My concern is your mental health.

After you two separated,

you went back under with the militia.

Then you disappeared for six months,

not one communication with your handler.

Did you contact Sonya at all during that time?

- Or your son? - Why is that relevant?

No, I didn't.

You've seen them since you came back?

You disappear for weeks on end.

No calls, nothing. And then you show up and you

don't even know who you are half the time.

Well, you're not giving me a chance here.

I'm out there.

I'm doing it. I'm doing this for you and Aiden.

And you're not giving me a chance!

Dad?

Why are you breaking stuff?

Sonya and I will work it out.

How's Aiden handling the split?

He's fine.

You don't like talking about them.

Do you find that feelings in your undercover work

affect your real life?

I keep my family away from what I do.

And I keep the kind of people I deal with away from them.

Does forgetting them make the legend feel more real?

Insofar as you can shut off Martin Odum, you can...

You asked me the same questions the last time we met.

Is it difficult to leave a legend behind

- when you're done? - As I said

last time, no.

Security says you signed in downstairs this morning

as Lincoln Dittmann.

- Did you know that? - It was a joke.

When the Founding Father was arrested...

...the Lincoln Dittmann legend was exposed.

Did you have difficulty saying good-bye?

A legend is an elaborate lie.

That's all.

Easy to walk away from.

Since you came back,

have you had any thoughts of suicide?

Not my own, no.

Paranoia? Feeling like

- someone's out to get you? - Someone often is.

Any memory loss?

Forgetting basic things?

No.

Confusion of identity?

Not being able to tell your legends

from your real life?

I know who I am.

How'd the psych eval go?

Feeling much better now.

We missed you at Bobby's funeral.

Yeah. I, uh... I had a thing. With Aiden.

Well, you haven't seen him much.

No.

Bobby's folks, they appreciated the flowers.

Oh, good.

Did you get a chance to follow up on his autopsy, like I said?

I did.

No poisons, toxins,

nothing foreign in the blood.

M.E. is standing firm on the cause of death.

It was not a homicide.

32 years old.

With a heart defect from birth.

M.E. says it was just a matter of time.

Now, I'd like to know why you're asking.

Just seemed unusual to me.

I got a briefing in a couple of minutes.

You want to talk after?

No, don't worry about it.

You're looking at a kidnapping that occurred in Bakersfield last night.

The victims' car and the suspects' police vehicle

were found torched outside of town.

No sign of the family.

Richard Hubbard is

a high school chemistry teacher, Susan's a paralegal.

Uh, Jane, his daughter, is an honor roll student.

They're your typical middle-class faces in the crowd.

Pro kidnapping, low-level target?

Someone's got a secret.

I got a call from Langley this morning.

He's Russian?

Richard Hubbard's real name

is Dr. Alexander Nevelsky.

He is a chemist. Back then, he was actively involved

in Russia's chemical weapons program.

Until the Mafia moved in. And when Nevelsky discovered

they were selling VX nerve gas on the black market,

he tried to blow the whistle.

They went after him, and he came to us for asylum.

Fortunately, the intel he provided allowed us to interdict most of the VX.

Most but not all.

How did he get to Bakersfield?

Langley relocated him.

Gave him a new identity.

We think his old Russian friends have found him.

That's a Chechen dialect.

We're talking about the Obshina... Chechen Mafia.

And that's why I'm here. I understand DCO

may have a legend placed inside the Chechen mob.

We won't confirm or deny

DCO's active legends, but we may have an asset in play.
