Transcript
00:01I'll do what you asked. I'll lead you to St. George.
00:05I suggest we remove you, ma'am.
00:07No.
00:09This place won't survive without you.
00:11Then I built it wrong.
00:16What happened?
00:20This whole time you...
00:22You know?
00:23We don't have time for this.
00:24It's adrenaline. It'll give you another few hours.
00:26But only take it if you're seizing.
00:28The dose is strong enough to induce a heart attack.
00:30Have we figured out how Victor Simonakis is connected to this?
00:34He's been entertaining Alexander's parents since lunch.
00:37I did my part.
00:38My parents better be safe.
00:40You're not St. George.
00:44Kill Hale and the parents!

01:45It's impossible to track these pills back to him...
01:47Or any of them.
01:49If this goes wrong, it's on us.
01:51We'll either end up in anatamente jail or dead.
01:54And for me it's not about money.
01:55It's no amount worth the risk.
01:56Yes, sir.
01:59so what'd they catch you doing me i was upstate
02:07we are not the same i don't live in fear that my bad deeds will catch up to me
02:15you brought into the ideology anything i do guarantees that no one experiences what i have
02:26ever again but you didn't expect to have to go this far to hurt someone close to you
02:35are you really gonna go through with it thanks for coming mark from kevnik
02:41be sure to leave your card at reception so we know where to find you
02:56so
03:05so
03:14so
03:23so
03:32so
03:36something's changed just have this terrible feeling like i'm gonna miss something big
03:59keep watching alexander if he's not on board we call it
04:03i'd like to meet him
04:08it's an honor to meet you man
04:24this used to be a sort of a classroom where we taught our operatives to resist interrogation
04:34we taught them to survive as long as possible
04:40by distancing from the truth
04:42that the battle was in their own minds
04:45that no interrogator can take what you have not already decided to give
04:51i think you can relate to this
04:55it can't be easy knowing your eyes and ears are hacked
04:59no ma'am
05:04they tell me you have a conscience problem
05:11that it gets in the way of orders
05:13why'd you save the child
05:15in your copenhagen test
05:17you saved the boy not the woman why
05:18because he was in greater danger
05:22you knew the american citizen was the priority
05:24yes but she had a shot at getting on the next job
05:27he was already in your arms putting him down
05:29feels a more deliberate evil than just turning your back doesn't it
05:35the oss
05:38designed the copenhagen test right after the war
05:41they needed to know that our operatives would follow an order no matter what their conscience said
05:47that loyalty to our country superseded any other human concern
05:51they designed the test as a binary
05:54pick one or the other
05:56but i think the real question is
05:58why didn't you save them both
05:59i couldn't
06:03yes you could
06:04you could have given up your seat
06:05if i had missed that helicopter
06:08i would have had to stay hidden until they came back to get me
06:11and if i was captured
06:12i'd be used as a bargaining chip against us
06:14no
06:15that's a good rationalization after the fact
06:17it's not what you were thinking in the moment though is it
06:20i was thinking about my team
06:21returning to a combat zone without the element of surprise
06:24i could have gotten them all killed over a rescue mission
06:26that's concern i'm sure
06:27it's not the whole answer
06:29with respect ma'am
06:31you don't know what i was thinking
06:34do you?
06:38i've replayed this in my mind a thousand times
06:40i made the choice that saved the most lives
06:44the choice that saved the most lives in a hypothetical
06:46whereas you had two civilians in front of you who needed help
06:50and you were the only one of the three with a chance of getting out alive
06:54i made a split second decision
06:55and it bothered you beyond words for years
06:58it was the tipping point that started your panic attacks
07:00it was the thing you couldn't shake
07:02because deep down
07:03you know
07:04there was another way
07:06you can intellectualize every angle of it
07:09but your body is not convinced
07:11you made a choice that part of you hates
07:13i think while you were bending the rules
07:22you didn't give up your seat
07:25because you knew your commanders didn't want you to
07:27you were still following orders
07:31there's a flaw
07:38in the test
07:40it's a binary
07:41us or them
07:42the real world is far more complex
07:46they tell me
07:50your problem is following your conscience
07:53i think your real problem is you haven't gone far enough
07:57we don't know what our enemy is after
08:03but you weren't chosen at random
08:05at some point you'll be approached
08:08possibly to be turned against us
08:11no matter what they say
08:13no matter what we say
08:15no matter what the orders are
08:16let's see where your compass takes you
08:22watch him very very closely
08:29and if you see evidence that he is colluding with the enemy
08:32be prepared to give the kill order
08:33verbal confirmation of the conditions of the kill order please
08:38conditions understood
08:42do you really think you flipped
08:51i think
08:54nothing makes sense
08:58none of the puzzle pieces are fitting together
09:01it's like
09:02can't see the picture yet

25:53hi
25:55how are you feeling
25:59better
26:02we think the worst is past
26:11we were able to slow down the electrical processes in your brain
26:15and then everything normalized
26:17whoever upgraded this technology they
26:21they found a way to bypass the worst of the symbiosis
26:25it gave you a fighting chance
26:27the good news is it's stable
26:30and you're gonna live a very long time
26:34and i'm gonna be here for a bit
26:43just for a little while
26:47until the feed's contained
26:54how would you feel about serving as assistant director of operations
27:11i'd feel like
27:17you were making a mistake
27:21no offense
27:23but there have to be more impressive resumes
27:24many people in this building would agree with that
27:27we've been running the intelligence services for the better part of eight decades
27:35assuming that our conscience
27:38must be silent
27:40i would like in my more hopeful moments to believe there's another way
27:45maybe you could find it
27:51fertilizer
27:57fertilizer every six months
27:59and because it doesn't get as much rain as i'd like
28:02i water it every two weeks just a good soak
28:05someday
28:08when it's time
28:27so mission's really over huh
28:40just when i got to know michelle
28:43so
28:48what are you gonna do next
28:51i got a promotion
28:53you deserve it
28:56and the first thing i did with my new
29:00impressive power
29:03was
29:03ask for a restricted personnel file
29:07and i had it incinerated
29:11all backups too
29:12is that the truth
29:20yeah

29:30didn't want to know
29:32it's gone
29:36forever
29:39thank you
29:50thank you
29:50you deserve it
29:55so
30:03who do you want to be
30:10who do you want to be
30:14who do you want to be
30:23who do you want to be
30:25who do you want to be
30:26who do you want to be
30:27who do you want to be
30:28who do you want to be
30:29who do you want to be
30:30who do you want to be
30:31who do you want to be
31:32Get to the wall! Get to the wall now!
31:34You will be! Let's go!
31:36Get your hands up! Clear!
31:38Thanks, buddy.
31:41The operation that hacked you has been shuttered.
31:45We dismantled Shiff's monitoring station, confiscated his drives,
31:48and since Rachel's cabin was destroyed,
31:51we confirmed they didn't send it anywhere else.
31:56It's over.
31:57But I'm still broadcasting through my head, right?
32:01Yeah, it's permanent.
32:02But you can go back to normal life.
32:04How can you be so sure?
32:07Come on, Ale.
32:08There is no sure.
32:09But I'm a fan of stacking the deck in our favor.
32:13Now that we're not keeping up appearances for Shiff,
32:21Francis took the opportunity while you were unconscious
32:24to install a governor.
32:27But you can go back to full broadcast.
32:30Press the side button on the watch to turn it on or off.
32:33Green means you're broadcasting.
32:34Red means you're not.
32:45You want to keep the hack open.
32:47That depends on what you want to do next.
32:55Take your time.
32:57But if you're not done with clandestine work,
33:00there's still some fun we could have.
33:02Let me know what you decide.
33:08I need you to send a message to someone for me.
33:12Whoever figured out it wasn't flipped,
33:14whoever...
33:15whoever came up with the plan with fake St. George,
33:19just tell them I say thank you.
33:24Tell her yourself.
33:25Tell her yourself.
33:32Hi.
33:50Hi.
33:51Hi.
33:51Thank you for saving my life.
33:59Again.
34:01You have no idea.
34:04Probably not.
34:06But my parents are alive because of you.
34:09No.
34:10You did that.
34:11It was an impossible choice.
34:14Parents are the orphanage.
34:19But you finally found a way to save both.
34:24By not doing it alone.
34:28Good job with Michelle.
34:29That was, uh...
34:31That was perfect.
34:33I know.
34:34Until she stabbed me.
34:36Good thing she didn't kill you.
34:41You know, I'd say see you around, but, uh...
34:45I feel like it'd be safer for you
34:47if I didn't know what you looked like.
34:53Yeah.
34:57It's better this way.
35:01Yeah.
35:01Yeah.
35:02Mm-hmm.
35:04Yeah.
35:12Mm-hmm.
35:16Yeah.
35:19Yeah.
35:22Mm-hmm.
35:28Mm-hmm.
35:30Mm, mm-hmm.
35:30Mm-hmm.
35:30Mm-hmm.
36:31And then I realized just how far you all were willing to go to win.
36:38As far as committing treason.
36:41And maybe, just maybe, far enough to keep the hack open.
36:49Even after Henry, or Schiff, was gone.
36:52Your point?
36:53I want in.
36:59And why in the name of our holy lord would we want someone who portrayed confidential information to the CIA and then almost got our asset killed to join the team?
37:09I don't know, but you do.
37:12Because we're meeting here.
37:15This is where we talk to field assets.
37:17You didn't want anyone to know that you were speaking with me.
37:20Because to the world, I'm a disgraced former orphanage refugee.
37:24They see me as someone with insider knowledge and a grudge.
37:30Definitely not someone still working for the orphanage undercover.
37:34We can use that.
37:46Yes, we can.
37:50Now arriving Metro Center.
37:52Doors will open on the right.
37:54Hey.
38:22Hey.
38:23Hey.
38:24You good?
38:30You?
38:33Yeah.
38:39Thanks for looking after my folks.
38:41Of course.
38:44Your mom's a lot.
38:48Yeah.
38:51You moving on?
38:52I'm done.
38:54I'm going to go live a normal life out there somewhere.
39:00Good.
39:02So what's your new name going to be?
39:10What did I ask?
39:17When you're finally done with the life,
39:20come find me.
39:23I thought we should finally meet after all this time.
39:50Have a little chat.
39:55Have a little chat.
39:55Have a little chat.
39:57Let's go.
40:16So, uh, this is all I got.
40:21Oh, yeah.
40:23Yeah, that's fine.
40:30So when you went upstairs...
40:32I didn't know yet.
40:33So what did you do when you realized
40:35how did you not give it away?
40:36I used the incinerator to cover the sound of me
40:39writing a note without looking at it.
40:44It's really irritating
40:46how easily all this comes to you.
40:50Listen, um...
40:53I'm sorry
40:55about the whole turning you over to the agency stuff.
41:01You were just doing your job.
41:03They could have brought you in on it.
41:05No, if I were them, I wouldn't have told me either.
41:15I owe you an apology,
41:17however inadequate that might seem.
41:20I left you in Berlin because it was more convenient for me.
41:23If I had it all to do again,
41:26I'd make a different choice.
41:28No.
41:30It'd play out in the same manner again and again.
41:34Because for all your illusion of control,
41:36you're just one person.
41:38A stone in the river.
41:40The system.
41:42The apparatus won't allow you
41:43to be any different than you are.
41:45Now, who's diminishing how much
41:48a single individual can matter?
41:58Touché.
41:59Go home, Parker.
42:25Something doesn't fit.
42:28Oh, my God.
42:29I'm serious.
42:32Your brain will have a hard time letting go
42:34when it's actually over.
42:36It can drive you crazy.
42:38Get some rest.
42:42Run it through with me.
42:44One last time.
42:44I doubt if an apology is why I'm here.
42:53Have you figured it all out yet?
42:56Of course you have.
42:58It's why I'm not currently handcuffed,
43:00because you know you need my help.
43:02Oh, wait.
43:06So, making the new version of Cassandra,
43:09finding the right candidate,
43:11infiltrating their life,
43:12hacking them,
43:14that would take years.
43:16And then once the hack is active,
43:18they're just selling off intel
43:20to whoever will buy it.
43:22Doing it that way means that we would find the mole
43:23within a matter of months.
43:24You exploited the hack.
43:26But you're not the one who did it
43:28in the first place, are you?
43:30Schiff wasn't trying to protect him.
43:32But why not?
43:33Alexander was an investment
43:34years in the making.
43:36You discovered it was happening,
43:38and then found your own back door
43:39into the signal.
43:41It's very good.
43:43I thought I'd have to explain all this
43:45in order to barter for my life,
43:47but this is much more efficient.
43:51I mean to ask,
43:52how did you find me that night?
43:54I was following you since the carousel,
43:56keeping my distance.
43:58But how'd you know where I was gonna be?
44:00Dumb luck.
44:00I was actually tailing someone else at first.
44:05The signal was going in two directions.
44:09We thought it was just covering the trail.
44:13Who was it?
44:14Oh, look who it is.
44:28I thought you were going out tonight.
44:31Wasn't feeling well.
44:34What is it?
44:34What's wrong?
44:37Cobb was watching you that night.
44:39You were the only connection to me
44:41that he knew about.
44:44He saw you make a call.
44:47He couldn't make out much,
44:49but he heard the words,
44:51carousel,
44:52and he's injured.
44:54You were calling for someone
44:56to give me medical treatment.
44:58Has Rachel been working with you
44:59the whole time?
45:00No.
45:04Did you hack me, Victor?
45:06Well,
45:13whatever I said.
45:15Did you hack me?
45:17Yeah.
45:17But I trusted you.
45:20Yeah, I trust you
45:21more than anybody else
45:24in the world.
45:25But this is bigger
45:26than you
45:28or me,
45:29and I need you to...
45:30This wasn't just to get eyes
45:31inside the orphanage,
45:32was it?
45:35You know,
45:36you never cease
45:37to impress me.
45:39Okay.
45:43You
45:43were always
45:46just a little too talented
45:47to stay stuck
45:50in the downstairs
45:51for very long.
45:52So we just had to make sure
45:53that wherever you ended up,
45:54it was going to be somewhere
45:55where we needed you to be.
45:58We?
45:58So who are you working with?
46:08You ordered the Copenhagen test.
46:14Yes.
46:15I had to prove
46:16you were worthy.
46:19And if you
46:20will just come with me,
46:22I will show you
46:23everything.
46:28All right,
46:34it's not much further.
46:40Listen,
46:42Alexander,
46:43do you remember
46:43the first thing
46:44I ever taught you
46:45about intelligence?
46:49Always assume
46:50you're only seeing
46:51one small piece
46:52of the puzzle.
46:54So?
46:55We had to have
47:09more than one.
47:09that particular asset
47:29is the only one
47:30like you.
47:31He knows we can see
47:33what he can see.
47:34Why are you watching
47:40Michelle?
47:43Well,
47:44we have to.
47:45She's a loose end.
47:48Don't,
47:49don't,
47:49don't look so alarmed.
47:52For people like us,
47:53Alexander,
47:55it's never done.
47:56Have a good day.
48:04.
48:06.
48:09.
48:15.
