The story we tell
is that Mosaic has an encrypted drive
with the identity of whoever placed the mole
at The Orphanage.
We use a third party to get the drive into Mosaic's hands
without him knowing it was from us.
Saul, don't!
These agencies
ask you to do something unthinkable,
but they don't know the real cost.
The only ones that know that
are the people in it.
You always intended for him to die.
Yeah.
Know why?
You needed to create a dead end.
Now the enemy has no more leads,
nowhere left to focus except on finding the drive.
My job is to protect our country
by manipulating people and sometimes
getting them killed for the sake of a mission.
St. George: The things you can't carry, bury it away
and try not to dig it back up.
When you don't have the whole picture,
how do you know that you're doing the right thing?
Be grateful
for all the things you don't know.
It was a nice change of pace
to have someone do the right thing.
I'm not supposed to give you my real name, so.
It's between us.
reporter: Last night, Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
The largest public space in the world was a war zone.
With orders to secure the square,
the People's Liberation Army of China,
three hundred thousand strong,
converged on Beijing from all directions.
Unarmed citizens and students faced tanks
and soldiers with semi-automatic weapons.
For the last five weeks,
the mass student demonstration
has touched a nerve.
Soon, everyone seemed to join...
...protesting against hardship,
government corruption--
Victor. Hey, how's it goin'?
So good!
Come in. Come in.
How do you like the area?
It's, uh--
It's very nice.
And the interview for the engineering job?
How did that go?
Promising.
Good.
This is your immigration paperwork.
Certificates of Naturalization.
No one will ever bother you about it.
And this...
is a three-year lease on the house.
Paid in full.
You've done so much for us, Victor.
I know it's not home,
but you can have a fulfilling life here.
This is not enough.
You are saying goodbye to us.
I think, given the nature of my job,
it's best if our lives don't intersect going forward.
You know how sorry I am that you got caught up
in what I was working on in China.
And I'm sorry for the suspicion.
And that you had to leave your home.
But I am glad
that you made it here to this country.
Because you wouldn't have been safe there.
No one chose this, but it happened.
And I did my part.
Like I promised.
For Preston and me,
yes.
But you owe him more.
When he is born, he won't know China.
He won't know my family or Preston's family!
I'm glad he grows up in America.
The army don't shoot you in the street here.
But in America,
they don't like our faces.
We go to interview at lab, but they don't want us.
It will be hard for our son here.
Because he is like us.
Hey...
But he is also not like us.
He is born here.
American.
He is one of you.
In a country we don't know.
You are not done.
You look after him.
You promise that.
Have you picked a name yet?
Alexander.
The Orphanage.
If they suspect that you're compromised,
you're dead!
I've been having these moments.
It's like feedback in my brain.
Did anything like that happen
to the Cassandra test subjects?
No.
Sacrifice their entire lives
because they're doin' the right thing.
But they never have the whole story.
Hi. Alexander.
Natalie.
I'm not supposed to give you my real name.
Well, you're easy to pretend to fall for.
No one person
gets to be more important than the mission.
For whoever ends up watching this,
but I'm really hoping it's you, my friend.
My eyes and ears have been hacked
by a nanotechnology
called "Cassandra RU-two-five-eight."
It's broadcasting everything that I see and hear,
and whoever did this is using the information
to compromise operations all over the world.
I didn't know it had happened to me.
And I wasn't a part of it.
But when The Orphanage discovered the hack,
they chose not to expose it.
They kept it open to find the hackers
who were responsible.
And I agreed to that.
For the good of our country,
despite the risk to innocent lives.
I couldn't have known how far they were willing to go.
But I have knowingly
compromised classified information
at the direction of my superiors.
And there's no stopping now.
And despite my loyalty, they still don't trust me.
They watch every move I make.
I still believe in the mission,
but I know they're not telling me the whole truth.
I don't know who I can trust anymore.
If you could go back in time...
I'm not even sure of what's real in my own life.
Did you ask me something?
It's been so long, I was starting to wonder.
Yeah, sorry, it's, uh,
it's work. - Work.
Maybe we call it a day.
Yeah. Sure.
He's being weird, right?
Lone wolf thinks Mosaic's drive
identifies them as the one who placed
the mole in The Orphanage,
which means they think someone close to them has flipped.
They can't trust anyone else with this.
They will show up personally.
So, this is how we catch them.
We build a trap.
Director Moira asked me to relay an update
on a magnetic drive we've been trying to locate.
Based on intelligence gathered
from a parallel operation in the EU
called "Stormwatch,"
we believe with a high degree of certainty
that our former source, Saul Clemente,
codename "Mosaic,"
went to Paris shortly before his death.
Our analysts believe there's a strong possibility
he made this trip to hide the magnetic drive
somewhere in the city.
And they've narrowed it down to a three-square mile area.
We know exactly where the drive is.
We had put a tracker on it
before we got it into Mosaic's hands.
This is a performing arts venue. Here.
Now, once the drive stopped moving,
we obtained access to the cameras in that location.
There are only a few, but we did find this.
He walked up to the top floor,
fifteen minutes later, he left.
Public building, lots of people comin' and goin'.
He hid that drive in plain sight.
You don't want the target to know exactly where it is yet.
Our enemy can't be ahead of us.
You will lead them to it.
Alexander and Remy will enter the country in alias.
By the time they touch down,
we should've identified the target location.
Our extraction agent, a local,
will meet them and arrange transport
to an airfield we control.
Then you're home.
Remy will go with you
to the immersive performance.
The audience will be masked, not ideal for us,
but it will make our target feel more comfortable
if they wanna follow you there.
At any point after you have the drive,
that's when we expect the enemy to intercept.
Then we grab them.
You're gonna bring them in.
For questioning.
That part you won't have to worry about.
Once we have them, it's above your pay grade.
This is a modified low-dose compound
with multiple drugs.
Dissolves on the skin. It'll make them compliant.
We're gonna keep our distance. No comms,
so it feels like you and Remy are alone.
You'll be more exposed than usual,
but it's a risk that we have to take.
What if they decide to take out the location
and everyone in it to destroy the drive?
Then we won't have to wonder who the enemy is, will we?
They'll be the only one left standing.
Whatever it takes, remember?
Something's off with him.
In what way?
I don't know.
Normally, I can read what he's thinking.
It's right there. But...
something's changed.
I just have this terrible feeling
like I'm gonna miss something big.
Use Michelle. Get him to talk.
That's what I mean. He's not talking to her either.
It--
His walls are up for some reason.
You think we hold?
No, we can't hold now.
We might only get one shot at this.
If our lone wolf senses a trap or goes dark,
we might never find them.
Keep watching Alexander.
If he's not onboard, we call it.
I'd like to meet him.
You ever seen her talk this much?
Never.
What're you up to?
We're sacrificing so much for this operation.
I wanted to see for myself if he was up for it.
I believe he is.
You're worried.
We'll know who our lone wolf is very soon.
Who? Yes.
But I can't figure out the why.
Hey. He's headed to your place.
Michelle [over phone]: Why?
I don't know. Something's up.
See if you can get him to talk.
- Understood. - Thank you.
Look, I've been here before.
I'm a little too charming,
guy falls a little too hard for me,
he starts getting obsessive,
comes to my apartment late at night
with little to no warning and then...
I have to kill him.
I can't stay long.
I'm leaving to go out of town tomorrow, and, uh...
I-- I think we should call this off.
Oh.
Wow.
Wow. This is, um--
This is awkward.
You thought we were together?
- I'm being serious, Michelle. - So am I.
We never made this a formal thing.
You know, you didn't have to come
all the way here to break up with me
if you didn't want to see me again.
Well, I thought you deserved that at least.
Well, thank you.
Your chivalry knows no bounds.
Yeah.
What is this, our first fight?
It was bound to happen eventually, right?
Look, if you're mad about something,
you might as well just come out and say it.
Alexander.
Hey.
Let's just--
Can we... talk about this?
I got an early flight.
You take care of yourself.
I just wanna know that what I do for my country matters.
Hey.
He's leaving her place.
He just got there.
He walked out in a hurry.
She closed all her blinds.
Where is he going now?
Come in.
Hey.
Hi.
Sorry to drop in on you like this. Um--
You got a minute? - Yeah.
Sure.
You're still workin' nights.
Still workin' nights.
You've been back to the cabin.
Yeah.
I told you I loved it from the minute we walked in.
But I doubt that's why you're here.
What's up?
Nothing. Nothing, um--
I just wanted to say some things I've been thinkin' about.
Whatever happened between us,
I can only speak to my side of it. Um--
But I want you to know...
you were right.
I never let you in.
And I'm sorry.
That's it. Um--
You don't have to respond or anything, I just--
I just wanted to say it.
I'll see you around, Rach.
Why would he tell her that now?
There's a chance
I don't come back from this mission.
And if something happens,
no matter what anybody says,
I want you to know that I did not betray this country.
I'll go through with it,
but I'm not doing it The Orphanage's way.
We have a plane to catch.
Don't worry, I grabbed our bags.
tech 1: Coming in.
tech 2: Standing by.
Signals tech: They've left Washington airspace.
Switching to flight comms.
Go for control.
Shadowboxer's apartment is clear.
And she didn't go to work at the bar tonight.
They don't have her.
Copy.
Has she gone dark?
I can fix it.
You were worried about Hale
and now his minder is missing?
- I'll find her, sir. - That's a good idea.
Who's with you?
Honestly?
You think that if they were coming for you
that they would send me?
Did you run because you thought
that we were coming to kill you? Why?
Alexander broke it off.
- Tonight? - Yeah.
You didn't know? - No.
I told you on the phone, he's been acting weird.
We didn't tell him to do that.
Even if we had, which, again, we didn't,
wouldn't that mean your part in this is done?
You get to walk free. Wasn't that the deal?
You haven't made a lot of deals
with spy agencies, have you?
No, I haven't.
The last time I was an alias
for an operation that went sideways,
the agency I was working for
sent the cleaners in after me within minutes.
No loose ends.
I don't care what The Orphanage says.
They're all the same.
They're never gonna let me go.
Not after what I did.
Oh, wow.
They didn't give you my whole file, did they?
How do you think The Orphanage
collected me in the first place?
I made a mistake.
The kind you can't run from.
They'll say my debt is never repaid.
And they're probably right.
So, make a deal with me.
When we stop whoever did the hack,
I'll find a way to get rid of your file.
I don't know how yet, but I'll find a way.
Please don't run.
Come back in. I need you.
The only way I know how to connect to him
is through you. And...
you're the only person who knows
what any of this feels like.
Also, this?
Going out on your own into the cold?
That'll trigger exactly the kind of reaction
you're afraid of.
They will overreact.
The entire mission will get pulled.
We are this close to this being over.
If breaking up was Alexander's idea,
that means he knows I'm not on his side anymore.
Our fiction that he can talk to the real me is blown.
He must've figured out
you're still manipulating him through me.
How do you know that?
Because he did it right before he left.
So when you found out, he'd already be on his way.
That's exactly what I would do if I was about to go rogue.
Go home.
Pretend everything's normal.
You should call it off.
You've lost control of him.
Found her. Just a misunderstanding.
We still a go?
Mission's good.
Let's go.
I have to see this through.
We can't stop now.
Just keep an eye on it, okay?
Mm-hmm.
- Got it? - Got it.
ground agent: Osiris and Timekeeper in position.
They're heading into the theater.
Perimeter holding a half mile out.
No sign of hostiles.
Thank you, Ground. Keep your distance
until our target shows themselves.
Radio silence. ground agent: Roger that.
Let me see it.
I wanna know who's in that room.
Who's got eyes on the room?
crowd: Ah!
They've reached the target room.
Now they've just gotta find it.
Then the enemy will find them.
Hello.
Look for a key somewhere.
- Hey. - What?
Didn't Mosaic collect old guns?
Excusez-moi.
Sure feels like it sometimes.
Let's go.
Signals?
Drive's moving. He's got it.
All right. All right.
Now they go to the stairwell to get to the extraction point
on the breezeway.
Get the extraction agent in place.
If the enemy is at the theater,
they could be intercepted at any time.
Show me outside.
Zoom in.
Control.
They found our extraction agent.
He's dead in his apartment.
Every morning...
man: I look into obsidian eyes.
Extraction?
Let's get you out of here.
Get a closer shot.
ground agent: Are we moving in?
No. We don't know if this is our lone wolf.
We have to warn them somehow.
If that's not our guy,
we can't give them a reason to panic.
We need identification. Get me a face.
Who is this guy?
Hey.
Where are we going?
There's a service elevator.
It'll take us down to the waterline.
Safest way out.
We got him. Punch in.
Why is this taking so long? Get me a name!
Why don't we have a name yet?
It's classified!
ground agent: Sniper's Nest has a clean shot.
No, we take him alive. Ground, go!
ground agent: On the move. Three minutes out.
Moira...
Pull the overhead camera in.
I wanna see where they're going.
Moira!
We're picking up another RF signal.
About thirty voices on it.
It's not ours.
There's someone else here.
Contact! Northwest corner.
Contact! Northeast corner.
They're all over!
Peter. It's the CIA.
What the fuck are they doing here?
CIA comms: Closing to target. Capture first.
But if he's escaping, we shoot to kill.
Now let's find out if you're full of shit or not.
You okay?
War wound.
Before we head down--
It's a Faraday cage for the drive.
In case it's being tracked.
Time is of the essence.
How'd you know he didn't have the drive, huh?
Because I was watching
through your eyes,
Alexander Hale.
Stay down.
We hold him here.
Strike should be on site in minutes.
Hey.
Hey. You're okay.
It's okay.
Remy's down.
Now that's interesting.
Get up.
You're comin' with me.
But I thought we were staying here.
CIA operative 1: Drop your weapon!
This is the CIA!
Alexander Hale, surrender, now!
CIA operative 2: I see him! Go, go!
Go! Go around!
Watch your cover! Cover, go, go!
CIA operative 2: Go! Go!
Come on, move! Move! Come on!
CIA operative: Alexander Hale, stop!
Hale, stop!
ground agent: Orphanage, stand down!
CIA operative: CIA!
ground agent: Don't move, drop your weapon!
Get on the ground! CIA operative: Step back!
ground agent: Stand down, now!
CIA operative: Lower your weapons and move back!
You back up!
Step back!
ground agent: Osiris, we're Orphanage.
Come on. We need to get you to safety.
We have Osiris.
Get our people out of there.
Do not fire unless fired upon.
ground agent: Osiris is off the map.
Repeat, Osiris is off the map.
He's going after the target.
Which direction?
Alexander must've put the drive
in a Faraday cage. We can't track him.
Get me every camera we own east of the city.
I wanna see it!
tech 1: Yes sir, we're on it.
This is a manhunt.
The operational theater is now the entire city.
We find our operative
and we do not let him fall into the wrong hands!
Roger that. Pull up that quadrant.
Henry!
Edmund!
I saw you on the monitor with Hale.
What's goin' on?
Did you tell anyone you know me?
No.
Are you in trouble?
Not anymore.
Look, I don't know what--
I don't care what you did.
Okay?
This belongs to The Orphanage.
Make sure it gets to them.
Okay, next block.
I realized during all this
that the only time that anyone actually told me the truth
was when I had already found it myself.
The people I work for want me in the dark.
Because it's easier to control me that way.
Once we find who we're looking for,
The Orphanage might cut a deal with them
in exchange for the technology.
And they'll only tell me what helps them use me.
I'm never gonna find out why this happened.
Or why they chose me. Or if there's a way
to get this thing out of my head.
And stop it from happening to anyone else.
I know you'll understand, my friend.
What--
You havin' fun, Alexander? - Uh-huh.
- Yeah? - Yeah!
Yeah? Did it-- Did it go faster?
Maybe!
Oh!
Yeah?
Me, me, me, me, me!
Me, me, me, me!
Get on the ground or I shoot.
If you were gonna shoot me, you'd have done it already.
But you didn't for the same reason
you drugged your own partner.
For the same reason you didn't wanna hand me over
to The Orphanage just quite yet.
You know you're hacked.
And you know I'm the only one
that can answer your questions.
So, let's talk.
