Dead End

A photo of someone named Daniela Acosta

tacked to the wall of a Pasdaran office.

My contact in Indian Intelligence came through.

Saeed Al Bukhatir. Apparently, he's handling

her case for the UAE.

He's one of their best,

albeit with a nasty reputation.

For what?

When did you learn Paul Lewis was working for the CIA?

A Russian passport pinged

into Brussels Airport from Nairobi last week.

Vernon Crawford. Viking.

Central African Republic to Antwerp means one thing.

Diamonds.

I want eyes on this guy.

Naomi violated need to know, reached over the fence.

Why would she do that?

Oh, I intend to find out.

She's trying to play him.

Feel him out.

Lay the groundwork

to ask to come visit.

She trusts you more than

she trusts him. She's ready.

It's getting out of control.

I'll pray for her. Stay strong.

I'm so thirsty.

Why can't we ask for water?

Be quiet.

Don't say anything.

Hey! Hey!

Where are you taking her?

Darya!

Who was with her when it happened?

Um...

Popeye's friends all got arrested.

Taken to the same police station.

- Fuck. - Picked up Darya, too.

Is that his girlfriend?

Fiancée.

Our theory is the IRGC are using the kid to get at his father.

I said Hassan was too dangerous, and they took the file from me.

We think it was him they were after.

Gremlin got swept up by accident.

She holds out, they'll let her go.

No.

We didn't do our job.

We didn't position her safely,

and they've thrown her to the fucking sharks.

"Mercury uncontrolled

by the force of gravity

was not more unstable than Charles Gordon."

Know who said that?

Churchill.

Takes one to know one.

Well, I must say, I applaud the irony

in your choice of venue.

The man on that plinth

was defeated by 50,000 Sudanese

who cut off his head and paraded it

through the streets of Khartoum for days.

Grim.

But let's face it, it's what he would have wanted.

So...

where are we?

It has been hard to evaluate a price for your request.

Releasing her is, uh, complex.

Other factors are now in play.

The UAE in Khartoum is your problem, not mine.

It is both of ours.

Also, her price must, uh, satisfy all parties.

Name it.

Firstly, my general would like to tour

our African neighbors as a head of state.

Firstly, he's not a head of state.

Not yet, anyway.

Ten countries, over three months.

I can do six countries over one month.

South Africa, Uganda, Rwanda, Djibouti,

Ethiopia, Kenya.

Sovereign nations on a plate.

Who said the times have changed?

Not me.

Six countries, one month. Take it or leave it.

Six countries, two months.

Don't push your luck.

- How is this safe? - Safe?

Is Hassan Zamani safe?

Because I've got a cable says he's in in jail,

along with two associates.

Is your agent one of them? If that's the case,

then this is cooked.

Get fucked. I'm not gonna ID our agent.

And Hassan isn't in jail.

He's being held in a Pasdaran police station in east Tehran.

No, no. This is over. You can't deliver.

It's not over.

Pretend that Hassan is worth it. If recruitment

- is no longer on the-- - Nothing has changed.

How so?

- He'll get out. -

And when they get out,

you'll just whip your agent

back to London. That's what I'd do.

- You're not me. - No.

But then, nobody's you.

Not even you.

By the way,

Samia's alive.

- What have you heard? - Just that.

At least,

she is as long as our deal is.

Our deal is alive. Trust me.

Aren't you forgetting

I know what happens to people who do that?

Get me Hassan.

What happens if her phone dies?

Still works. Up to two weeks.

With a dead battery? How?

- Magic. -

You can access anyone's phone who works here, yeah?

In London, you mean?

- With authorization. - You're authorized.

I want my whole team setup like this.

Uh... I-I don't-I don't understand.

You don't need to.

Give me a map of London with 16 blinking red dots,

including you.

This stays between us.

Anyone finds out,

I deny it and you get fired.

Daniela Acosta?

Good morning. Uh, this is Lieutenant Barker.

He's gonna be observing me today.

Come in, honey. You're welcome, Doctor.

I'm actually a clinical nurse as well, ma'am.

Of course, yeah. Men can be nurses, too.

Okay,

- you're good. -

- Want me to get you set up? - Yeah, thanks.

Oh, can you just turn the volume up for me, Doctor, please?

Yes, ma'am.

Barely the length of a man's hand,

this nocturnal primate moves...

What if he says no?

Nah, you got this.

It's right on time.

Hello?

Hey. How you doing?

I'm okay.

How's mom doing? She going for those tests?

Yes.

We're waiting on results.

Listen, I need to ask you something.

We need to talk.

So talk. I'm right here.

You're not. You're not here.

It's too hard over the phone.

What's too hard? What's going on?

Does he sound suspicious to you?

Everything this guy says or does sounds suspicious to me.

Quiet.

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

I can't travel to meet you right now.

- It's too dangerous. - For who?

For me. For both of us.

Maybe I could meet someplace safe.

You could tell me where.

There's this NGO I can volunteer with,

they need nurses.

They could get me real close to where you are in Africa.

What's going on? You been talking to somebody?

Why you want to see me all of a sudden?

I just miss you.

I want to see you. Check you're okay.

You sound so different. I'm worried about you.
