00:23What the hell? Watch it!
00:26I'm gonna get killed!
00:28What the hell? Watch it!
00:29What the hell?
00:50Amir, where are you?
00:52You missed our meet.
00:55I'm coming to you.
01:08I can't hear you.
01:08I'm coming to you.
01:12I'll be waiting.
01:13I will be waiting.
01:13I will be waiting for you.
01:29Maybe we will.
01:39I don't know.
02:05And they got a mirror, a forbidden eye.
02:09They see everything.
02:11I have to go dark, my love.
02:34Impressive.
02:35I mean, you're way ahead of me.
02:38Then again, you had a head start, so.
02:39So what do you think you know?
02:42There is a mole inside New York Station,
02:44selling or trading intelligence from inside the office
02:47and bringing it to Pyramid.
02:49Pretty good.
02:50But Pyramid's just the middleman.
02:52They sell the stolen intelligence to any rogue nation
02:54or terrorists looking to wreak havoc.
02:57Yeah.
02:59I assume Nikki knows all this?
03:02Nikki has asked me to drop this.
03:04As far as she's concerned, I have.
03:10Who is Sarah?
03:12Your girlfriend?
03:13Mark? Asset? What?
03:16Sarah works at Pyramid.
03:18But she works in a department that hands out microloans
03:20to people in foreign countries.
03:22Right. But she's clean?
03:24She is, yeah.
03:25I just needed her access.
03:28You know, her key card, her logins,
03:30so I could plug this into their server.
03:36This is what Kinski made for me.
03:38It sucked out whatever it could
03:40from the other side of Pyramid's business.
03:42The dark side.
03:44And I believe that Tony was onto it.
03:48All of it.
03:50She, uh, she was gonna expose them,
03:52and so someone at Pyramid killed her for it.
03:57All right.
03:59So we know, or believe we know,
04:00the what and how, not the who.
04:03I'm hoping that there's a name on here,
04:05but, uh, it's all encrypted, of course.
04:07I can take it to Ian Lim at 26 phone.
04:10You trust him?
04:11I do.
04:17Your call, partner.
04:24Mike's is finally asleep.
04:26How many chapters did it take this time?
04:29I lost Cam.
04:30Yeah.
04:33Cheers.
04:34Cheers.
04:41Okay.
04:42I am officially suspending the rule.
04:45Work talk allowed.
04:46One night only.
04:47What's going on?
04:49They put me on leave.
04:54There was a break-in.
04:56Cameras didn't catch the guy's face,
04:58but he used my key card.
05:00So dropped it somewhere.
05:01I don't know.
05:04What?
05:05Was anything taken?
05:08A bottle of scotch off my boss's desk.
05:13That's it?
05:17Well, I'm sure it'll all blow over.
05:19I don't know.
05:22I can't lose my job,
05:23my health insurance,
05:24Max's insulin,
05:25and Paul's behind on child support.
05:28Okay, Sarah.
05:28Sarah.
05:29Look at me.
05:30Do you know what I do when I'm feeling stressed
05:32and everything's getting on top?
05:34I take the deepest breath I can,
05:36and I just let it all out.
05:38Come on, do it with me.
05:39Deepest breath you can.
05:43And drop your shoulders.
05:45Here we go.
05:48Is that any better?
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah?
05:52Will you stay tonight?
05:55I'm not going anywhere.
05:56I'm not going anywhere.
05:58I'm not going anywhere.
06:26I came as soon as I could oh you're too thin State Department's working you too
06:33hard or something like that so what did you want to show me yes they got a mirror
06:41the forbidden eye I see everything I have to go dark and then he didn't come
06:51home last night my sandy always comes home as he ever mentioned an Amir to you
07:00maybe someone from the State Department he worked there for so many years what
07:05about the forbidden eye well I was having you tell me as he as he said
07:11anything else anything that seems off
07:16he hasn't been himself for several months now he's paranoid he thinks people are following him
07:24I just figured he was restless since he retired from the State Department but
07:30then he um he started saying things what things then
07:39anything never happens to me call Colin Glass
07:48and I'm gonna find him okay you have my word it's gonna be okay
08:00despite what his wife believes Sandy Harrison is ex CIA highly decorated
08:05station chief in Lagos Beirut Vienna Moscow Tripoli why so many postings let's just
08:13say he had a neck for making enemies yeah both outside the building and in
08:19were you one of them uh Sandy was an acquired taste he was a great operative he was the best
08:27recruiter I ever saw and could turn anyone
08:33Sandy recruited you yeah he did as a matter of fact
08:37Zeb have we got anything yet on the forbidden eye unless you mean an amusement park ride nada
08:43and said that he was imagining things paranoid delusions well she never said delusions and the
08:49man worked in espionage half his life paranoia is an occupational hazard it's tough to shake off
08:54Nikki he could be in genuine danger someone could be settling a score or he could have gone for a
08:58walk
08:59and gotten lost and it's gonna be home for dinner Sandy gave us 45 years we can give him one
09:07day
09:13okay run it down but if it's a dead end I need you back here okay the phone that Sandy
09:20used to call
09:21Ann it was probably a burner it was last pinged at an apartment building in Queens any residents there
09:28named Amir uh yes a sublease of a sublease and Amir al-Tabrouk Libyan national get me everything you can
09:39on him
09:40and let's get NYPD to put a detail on Ann if someone's after Sandy I want to make sure she's
09:45protected
09:47how old were you when Sandy recruited you 22 a young congloss now that's an image to conjure
09:55there was an unfortunate bond that stage the rest I'll leave to your imagination this is it
10:08oh Sandy was it how do you know see the scratches on the log made by a feather pig
10:15they stopped teaching this at the farm and the Berlin Wall fell but Sandy loved the classics
10:57no one's here you smell that ammonia smells like someone's had a good cleanup in here look at this
11:07spotless spotless uh-huh but why only clean half the window yeah something feels off
11:15there's one more thing I want to try
11:20Sandy taught me that any spook worth his salt has an all else fails protocol
11:24it's a breadcrumb for when you need to go dark
11:27the only people who can find you are the ones who know where to look
11:30hi could you tell me where your card catalogue is please
11:43do we decimal number any lower tech and we'd be unscrolling a Torah good one so uh you think this
11:51is paranoid madness I think a man who hides clues in the stacks is either losing it or
11:56earn the right to be careful here yeah O V E R L A T E overlay overlay
12:44okay does this thing even work
13:04I don't see so either your guy has lost it or
13:09who are you
13:10who are you what did you do to Sandy we're looking for Sandy too we're CIA
13:30so am I
13:37Sandy talks about you incessantly it's a little bit intimidating actually how do you know Sandy
13:44I'm Nora Ayad my father was one of Sandy's assets in Tripoli he's it's just me now
13:57he's been training me ever since he said I can go to the farm after I graduate SDRs dead drops
14:05lock picking
14:08yeah um it's just one small problem there Nora um Sandy is ex agency now he's retired long time ago
14:21that's no no sandy's on an op right now okay what's the op someone's been targeting his old
14:30libyan assets retribution for for working with him was one of his assets named amir he didn't
14:39give names he just told me to go to ground but i had to get the journal because everything he
14:45has on the people doing this is in there and who are these people it just heard fragments a name
14:52he kept hearing ayin al-haram ayin al-haram it's arabic for forbidden i i'll call it in
15:05kevin please tell me counterterror has something nothing definitive but
15:10i'm al-haram forbidden i they could be aliases for an emerging threat out of libya
15:16hmm threat like terror cell or government-backed militia libya the line is largely decorative
15:22either way they're ideological zealots going after anyone who's cooperated with the west
15:26how are they identifying cia assets let alone finding them there i have no answers oh well
15:33that's a first look we still don't have any concrete evidence that this thing is real but
15:37if it is we need it contained yesterday got it
15:44okay mickey's on it we've got to go all right no let me come to cia with you
15:49i know sandy his patterns i can help you find him
15:52yeah we'll handle this nora you lay low and we'll call you if we need you
15:58but um we are going to need sandy's journal
16:07whatever you do just find him
16:12yeah if i lose sandy i know me too
16:21and take care
16:27deciphering these pages has been challenging half phrases number lists unfinished drawings
16:34as an intelligence document it's uh
16:36unintelligible
16:38yeah okay well sandy always dealt in code so
16:43like these numbers for example they could be tracking asset movements or they could be financial
16:47transfers oh here's a recipe for chocolate babka
16:51baking powder huh well that doesn't
16:54actually there's a bunch of recipes here that call for baking powder that shouldn't
17:00you think that's a code
17:02could be an old man making a mistake sandy doesn't make mistakes
17:07come on bill we'll go shopping
17:12oh colin come on i'm not trying to slow you down i'm just trying to make sure that we're following
17:18the facts
17:18so am i
17:20yeah are you
17:22because it feels like you've decided that sandy's right
17:25and you're building the facts backwards
17:27no nikki i've decided our assets are dying and i need to figure out why
17:31those are not our assets
17:32those are civilians
17:33that sandy roped into off book ops
17:36are you going to tell me what this is really about
17:39because i know that sandy isn't your favorite person in the world but is there another reason that you are
17:43pushing so hard for us to drop this
17:47you know there is an old saying
17:51spies don't die of old age
17:53spies die of paranoia
17:55yeah i know
17:58bill
18:04i could just please make sure
18:07i will
18:12so um you're with the state department too
18:15uh no mrs harrison i'm actually with the fbi
18:20the fbi
18:21colin is there something you haven't told me
18:23no no it's nothing like that ann
18:24it's just that bill's really good at finding people
18:26i just want to have a quick look around
18:29oh
18:30make yourselves at home
18:32i'll be upstairs worrying myself to death
18:39okay
18:46is this the moment we should tell ann the truth about his work
18:50it's not our truth to tell
18:53maybe she knows already
18:56well and sharp
18:58sharper than sandy
18:59but i guess when you love someone
19:00you're not really looking for the lie
19:04how long has he been lying or
19:07since 1974
19:10yeah
19:1150 years ago he made a choice
19:13i'm not going to unmake it for him because he's not in the room
19:17yeah
19:20can't imagine living that way
19:21sandy always said
19:22the lie is the kindness
19:24you live in the dark so they don't have to
19:28well that must be exhausting
19:30yeah
19:32well done
19:33baking powder
19:45i think this might be sandy's exit strategy
19:49okay
19:53zeep any luck finding an address for these keys
19:56the heavy key is an abloy
19:58finished lockmaker mega secure mega rare helps us narrow the search a lot
20:03rare enough to narrow to a single location
20:05well the fob is a pectrin
20:07it's for parking lots
20:09and i checked sandy's financials with every apartment complex in the tri-state area
20:14okay punchline please
20:16and i'm sending the address to your phone
20:34sandy
20:36sandy
20:38sandy
20:41sandy
20:44mura
20:46hey hey hey stay with me
20:49help is on the way
20:51stay with me
20:57stay with me
20:58FBI don't move
21:04FBI don't move
21:20this is our worst case outcome we've lost two people in 24 hours let's take a moment
21:28the best way to honor their sacrifice is to stop these guys
21:33it might be time for a relief pitcher
21:35let counter terror take the mound
21:37no chance mate
21:39look you can still be looking for your guy
21:40but this group he's after ain al haram
21:43and let us help
21:43sandy is our only connection to both victims and killers
21:46this op stays here
21:47it's the end of discussion
21:49zeep any luck on facial reclining our shooter
21:51yeah we got nothing on cctv i mean the guy knew where all the cameras were
21:56whoever he is he'll be moving slower with a bullet in his shoulder
21:58we still don't know how he's finding these assets
22:00we got nora's phone and she kept perfect digital hygiene
22:04bpns onion networks and
22:06well all of her communications were through the app channel vault
22:14what
22:16this is highly sensitive but since you're in the family
22:19a few months ago the dni brokered an agreement with channel vault they
22:23embedded a zero day vulnerability for us to spy on encrypted chats
22:28we have a backdoor into one of the world's most secure messaging apps
22:32this is the preferred platform for terrorists cartel hackers
22:36this backdoor has enabled us to save lives thousands maybe
22:43could be someone at channel vault sold this backdoor to ayn al haram
22:46it helped him track nora in a mirror
22:49was nora using channel vault to communicate with sandy
22:51no the messages were coded but
22:53everything that nora told us about her meets with sandy
22:56i think it's him on the other side of those jets
23:01if sandy was using channel vault we can use the backdoor to locate him
23:04we'll send coordinates
23:06we're not the only ones looking for sandy be careful
23:13sandy sent his last channel vault message just around this turn
23:16i still can't believe he's using that thing
23:19i keep thinking what if it wasn't someone at channel vault who sold the backdoor
23:24what if it was our mole
23:28whoa wait don't move
23:40laser trip wire
23:41let's try it out of the sandy playbook
23:45good eye
23:49hey
24:01sandy lower the weapon
24:04still using the same stale spy tricks from the cold war are we
24:08and you're still stomping around the woods like a tyrannosaurus rexer lost his soccer ball
24:14who's this jerk
24:16don't worry he's my partner he's good
24:20okay let's just put the guns down shall we before someone gets killed
24:28thank you
24:29what does that sound
24:43i caught him sneaking through the woods with a suppressed rifle
24:50it's with aynol haram i i i just know it
24:52uh no i don't it's no that
24:57well i don't know who he's with but he's on a different planet what have you done to him
25:00well he wouldn't talk i had to improvise
25:03lsd's a lot stronger than it used to be
25:06lsd
25:06well it's surprisingly effective
25:09i know you killed him here
25:11now where is nora
25:14what did you do with nora
25:17where is she
25:18sandy
25:20sandy
25:20why don't we let him sleep it off we need to talk
25:25come on
25:43omar al-idri last known placement was libyan national army
25:47okay well even if he's off the board forbidden i must have others in play
25:51sandy gave colin a list of his other assets
25:54should we get them in protective custody every single one of them quietly
26:01she went fast
26:03she didn't suffer
26:06you know it was her first time on a plane
26:10when i brought her over from tripoli
26:15all she wanted was the window seat so she could just
26:22i should never have let her do this
26:25work for me
26:27from what i saw she was more than willing
26:29colin she was just a kid
26:31so was i
26:33and i didn't turn out to be a complete disaster
26:36well the jury's still out
26:40but with you i
26:42i still had some discipline
26:46you know at a certain point you you get tired of midnight dead drops and
26:51two-hour sdrs and you get lazy and you
26:54you take shortcuts
26:57sandy
26:58there is no way you could have known about that back door at channel vault
27:18who is the forbidden eye
27:20have you gone mad
27:21are they here in new york
27:24i don't know what you're talking about
27:25the forbidden eye
27:27i don't i don't
27:28someone gives you the names of your targets
27:30you don't just find them on your own
27:31who would have forbidden eye
27:32ayn al-haram who are they
27:37ayn al-haram
27:37ayn al-haram
27:40this can mean other things
27:42to my people this translates to
27:45eye of the pyramid
27:47pyramid security
27:55i kept hearing ayn al-haram
27:59chatter and the intercepts and i thought it was a you know a terror cell or a militia group but
28:05apparently they meant pyramid security and what do they have to do with any of this aren't they a consulting
28:10shop
28:10well they've expanded into intelligence espionage some light treason
28:15but pyramid's a middleman they collect stolen intel from embedded moles then sell it to the highest bidder
28:19in this case the highest bidder would be libyan militants looking for vengeance on your assets
28:24yeah omar may be off the table but pyramid is still very much in plain so is the mole leaking
28:28them intel
28:29hmm
28:30now so we're all looking for the same person
28:39okay good news that was nicky they grabbed the rest of your assets so the libyans can't get to them
28:44anymore
28:45all right
28:46let's go find the bastard who sold them out
28:51i'm gonna call ian see where he's at with the pyramid files
28:55there was a time when i would have caught this before it all happened
28:59and now people have died
29:02my people
29:03because i didn't see it
29:06come on let's go
29:07sandy
29:10it's time to go home
29:12go be with anne
29:14we've got a protective detail at the house
29:17we can let you know when it's safe to surface
29:21and what do i tell anne
29:25is sandy harrison really asking my advice
29:28i already regret it
29:30call her
29:31sandy
29:33the lie
29:34it's not the kindness
29:37it's the rot
29:40tell anne the truth
29:41all of it before you lose the last good thing in your life
29:55all of it before you lose the last good thing in your life
29:5650 years
29:58what the hell is she going to say
30:00i haven't a slightest clue
30:03but a wise man once told me there's no such thing as certain
30:05only percentages are probable
30:11you really were paying attention
30:17ian's ready
30:19i've got agents on their way to handle omar and sandy they'll escort you home
30:29we will find this mole
30:30and we will find the people responsible for killing your assets
30:34yes i know you will
30:36i just remember
30:38winds never feel quite so good as you think they will
30:42this job has a way of making you pay for them
30:47take care of each other
30:56ian what do you got
30:57a year of intelligence leaks to pyramid
31:00operative locations
31:02asset profiles
31:04but no names
31:05no
31:06every one of these files was compartmented
31:10no single cia operative had access to all of them
31:12can you cross-reference which operatives had access to which files
31:15yep i'm also layering in your entry and exit logs
31:19colin's timeline for when the assets were burnt
31:22plus this latest leak selling the channel vault's back door to the libyans
31:29that narrows us down
31:32the three suspects
31:35kevin turner's eve ornstein
31:38nikki renard
31:40well you can cross nikki off
31:42she checks every box you asked for
31:44i like nikki
31:45but you said it yourself she was trying to push us off this case
31:48i was venting bill
31:51okay well
31:53what if we don't have to choose
31:55what if we tell all three suspects the same story
31:57we have a source who's gonna dead drop the identity of the mall at a specific time and location
32:03and whoever moves to intercept
32:04leads us to our mall
32:14act like we're having a friendly conversation
32:18no no not that friendly just dial it back a bit
32:22channel vault's back door wasn't hacked it was leaked
32:26by someone in the station
32:30so it's true we've been compromised
32:32the news isn't all bad though
32:34omar gave us a name
32:37someone who can identify them all
32:39this source has agreed to give us ironclad proof
32:42when
32:43tonight
32:436pm bryant park
32:45the intel will be left in a blue stroller
32:46inside a red stroller
32:49green stroller
32:52and you're coming to me because
32:54you've been ahead of this the whole time
32:57counter terror should have been brought in sooner
33:00and i can trust you to keep things quiet
33:06we'll have this traitor in cuffs by the end of the night
33:18right
33:19six o'clock last strollers in place here we go
33:23there's no way this mole is bold enough to intercept the drop themselves right
33:27i don't know
33:29Not the most trusting bunch traitors, but
33:32Even if they send the cuts out which other stroller they grab will reveal our guy
33:38Poor girl
33:41I got Ian tracking our three phones of our suspects as we speak
33:57Hey, we're doing the right thing. We're following the facts. Maybe this job is a way of making you pay
34:04for it
34:20I
34:29Could be running late
