You've been wasting away in the basement.
How would you like to be a night agent?
Think he's our guy?
He could be getting ready to pass on more intel.
- Recognize him? - No.
I'll take the new guy, you take Warren.
He just made a drop.
I'll come meet you.
Alice, I'm made!
Shit, me too!
Alice!
- Peter Sutherland? - Still haven't located him.
Figured out what went wrong in Bangkok?
His training was accelerated. He was pushed into the field too quickly.
So you think Peter is the problem?
- Who is this? - I'm looking for Peter Sutherland.
How... how do you know Peter?
You got a call about Peter from a man you didn't know.
When we find Peter, I'll let you know he's safe.
Where are you?
- What's up? - Stuff with my dad.
- You haven't talked to him? - He's talking to me on Signal.
Messenger app, right?
- Get on the ground! - You need me alive, don't you?
- Rose? - Peter.
Shit.
I'm Catherine.
You my handler?
Uh, case officer.
We like to think night agents can handle themselves.
Welcome to Thailand.
- How was your processing in Germany? - It was fine.
I was there a lot longer than I thought I'd be.
Long enough to knock that G-man look off you.
Getting all those tattoos removed, that can't have been pleasant.
They didn't give me much of a choice.
You read the briefing?
What there was of it. When do I start?
Well, first things first.
There's credible evidence of a leak in the CIA station here in Bangkok.
The agency's internal investigation yielded nothing,
so our job is to find out who it is and why
without tipping off the spooks that they're being investigated.
Understood.
Then maybe you also understand why I'm a little bit skeptical
in your ability to succeed in Night Action.
- I'm sorry? - Analysis, okay. Logistics, fine.
But field work?
Even you know you're not ready for that.
What is, uh, is happening?
I'm giving you the chance to turn around
and go and work for the FBI.
You're here because POTUS pushed you on us,
not because you cleared the proper channels,
or cleared the usual hurdles.
This job is going to ask a lot of you. And it's okay to admit you're not ready.
It takes a certain kind of person to succeed as a night agent.
There's no shame in quitting. Actually, quite the opposite.
It's better that you make that choice now
than for me to have to make it for you later.
I can do this.
Peter, this is Alice.
- Hi. - Nice to finally have you here.
She'll oversee your training on this assignment, so follow her lead.
Don't worry, I have a soft touch.
I oversee agents in other countries,
so I'll be in and out to check on your progress,
which means Alice decides if and when you're ready for the field.
- I thought that-- - I know what you thought.
But training comes first.
I'll leave you to it. Keep me up to speed.
So this is it, huh?
This is it.
No field office, no central HQ, no support staff, no footprint.
We only exist here as if we're civilians.
Oh, speaking of, let me see your phone.
All right, my cell phone is already programmed in.
You memorized the local number for the emergency Night Action line?
- Yeah. - Good.
Under no circumstances should that number be saved in that phone.
In the U.S., we might be a rumor, but out here, we don't exist.
Can I actually save some personal contacts before you--
Is this about the Larkin girl?
I read your file. It's my job to know where you come from.
- Don't take it the wrong way. - It's fine.
I just... I said I'd call her if I could and--
Let me give you advice I learned the hard way.
You're a night agent now.
Relationships are dangerous,
even more so for normal people, which we are not.
I suggest, as of now, no longer having any personal contacts.
It's easier to just make a clean break.
Any objections?
No, ma'am.
Hmm.
Just Alice.
- You can save the "ma'ams" for Catherine. - Got it.
I know she comes off a little intimidating, but she does care,
which is rare in this field.
When you first joined, did she try to talk you into quitting too?
No. She recruited me.
We're gonna get you where you need to go. Come on.
Who is that?
Head down to the other end. Get us a way out of here. Go.
Peter!
This way.
Wait, wait, wait.
Go, go, go, go!
Go around the side. Try and cut them off in the back.
Move!
Hey!
Rose, come on!
There.
Wh... what are you doing?
We need to get out of here. Take us a few blocks up.
- That's not how Uber works. - You sure about that?
All right.
- Go. Come on. - Go.
- Ah! - How bad is it?
I'll live.
You see where they went?
You okay?
- I don't know. What just happened? - I'll tell you at home.
Where's home?
Listen, nobody can know where I am right now.
Okay. So you need to tell me how you found me.
I found a picture online.
You were in the background of some woman's selfie in a rundown urgent care.
- From there, I... I just did my thing. - What do you mean, did your thing?
I need to know exactly how you found me. Okay? I need to know everything.
I know, and I'm trying to tell you. I--
I'm sorry. I just have to think.
Someone just tried to kill us.
Again.
Peter, you're bleeding.
Oh shit.
- Do you need help? - No, it's fine.
It's just infected.
That's why I was at that urgent care. I needed antibiotics.
A woman there told me about the shelter where you were staying.
And then the guy at the shelter told me about the basketball court.
When I got to the court, I met this kid whose phone you stole, apparently,
and I tracked that number and found you.
You tracked that number?
No one else knows where you are.
Okay. Thank you.
- I'm sorry. - I get it. It's fine.
So why'd you come after me?
Because I haven't heard from you in ten months.
And then I get a call from a stranger asking about you out of the blue,
and it scared the shit out of me.
- Uh, who... who called you? - I don't know. A man.
He said that you were in trouble and that he wanted to help you.
So I reached out to Travers,
and this woman named Catherine turned up.
She said that you work for her.
- You talked to Catherine? - Yes.
- What'd she say? - Nothing.
She asked me a bunch of questions that I didn't have the answers to, and...
Look, Peter, I... I didn't know if you were alive or dead.
You wanna tell me what's going on?
I can't get you involved in this.
They called me looking for you.
And a half hour ago, they were shooting at us.
I'm kind of involved.
What happened to you, Peter? Why did you take that kid's phone?
To track down him.
That's Warren Stocker. That's the kid's father.
He's the key to all of this.
All of what?
What aren't you telling me?
A month ago, the op I was on went bad.
It was just supposed to be surveillance.
You know, identify who was leaking CIA intel and find the buyer.
But... I don't know. Something else was going on.
Because that guy that shot at us tonight, he was there.
Okay? And he ambushed us at an extraction point
that no one outside of Night Action should've known about.
He, um... he killed my partner.
- My God. I'm... I'm sorry. - I don't know if Catherine's involved.
I don't know if Night Action is compromised.
And until I figure it out, I...
I cannot trust anyone.
Except me, right?
Except you.
This cannot be like last time.
I can't keep you safe, Rose.
I didn't mean to get in the way. I was...
I was just trying to help, okay?
And honestly, if you hadn't been there,
I probably wouldn't have seen the other guy chasing me, so...
So I kind of saved you in a way.
Let's get some rest. Okay? We'll figure all this out in the morning.
You take the bed, I'll take the couch.
No, I... I can take the couch. It's fine.
Rose, it's safer for you behind another door.
Right.
- Hey, Rose? - Yeah?
Next time you go chasing after someone,
don't wear heels.
It's good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
You know how hard it is to travel to Iran with two kids...
It's not easy, but this year I'm trying to take them up north for two weeks
to see their grandmother.
What about you?
Here's the research you wanted.
- Leave it on my desk. - Of course.
Her health is failing, so we want to see her soon.
- Miss Taheri. - Yes.
The kitchen staff said they needed an extra hand with something.
I told them you would assist.
- Of course. - Thank you.
In the name of God.
One moment, attention, please.
Thank you.
Your behavior reflects on this mission and on our country.
So with the General Assembly convening next week,
I urge you all to comport yourselves appropriately
because we will be under a microscope.
I also remind you that due to
the Americans' overinflated paranoia about Iran,
all staff members of this mission are confined to a strict perimeter
within the city.
Should you be found outside the perimeter,
they will detain you
for questioning and deportation.
As some of you already know,
Houshang had to return home for a family emergency.
So if you have any questions about our security protocols,
please consult Javad Rahmani.
He's our new head of mission security.
Thank you.
Noor, let the cleaning staff handle that.
I don't mind.
I actually think the ambassador prefers the mess.
It's fine. I'm used to cleaning up after my little brother.
But you aren't Abbas' sister. You're his assistant.
Don't make his other assistant look bad.
I saw Javad noticing you.
It's his job to keep eyes on us.
Yeah.
- Seemed like he only had eyes for you. - Haleh.
You're the only unmarried woman in the mission.
He has a good job, great hair. He's a catch.
I don't know him.
So get to know him.
You're a catch too. What's the harm?
Haleh, when is the cut-off time to have these cleaned and ready for tomorrow?
Uh... One o'clock.
One...
Then you better go now.
But we have a briefing in ten minutes. I'm supposed to take notes.
I can drop it off during my lunch.
Thank you, Ms. Taheri. I admire your initiative.
Stop making me look bad.
- Hey, what are you doing? - Relax.
Nothing happened on your video feed.
You shouldn't be looking at my stuff.
Warren Stocker, right? I'm getting close.
I mean, consumer-grade facial recognition does bring back a lot of false positives,
but I did manage to pick up a couple of hits from the city,
all from the past week.
Wait, holy shit. What is this?
I couldn't sleep last night.
And whenever that happens, I, uh, need to distract myself with something.
So I thought I could help you find your guy the same way I found you.
If I could just recode the interface to take in more search parameters at once.
Interface of what? What the... What the hell are you talking about, Rose?
I'm helping code this new marketing protocol called AdVerse.
It can scrape the Internet for any combination of search attributes.
So, like, text, photos, locations,
whatever you feed it helps narrow the search.
I started tweaking it when I needed to find you.
And here's the latest hit on your guy from last night,
now with embedded location data.
Looks like he was headed back to the city.
- Yeah, that's him. - It's from a traffic cam.
I have no idea where he went from there.
Wait, so, whoa, hold on. You didn't sleep at all last night?
Not really. It's fine.
That's as far as I got.
The interface can only look at publicly available, archived data.
Like, old shit. A 12-hour delay at best.
- Not even close to real time. - I don't know, that's pretty cool.
So this is your company, huh? Is this what you're doing, now?
I wrote most of the code, but no.
I'm just an employee.
I thought you wanted to start your own thing.
Like do your own company and stuff.
Yeah, well,
there's a lot you missed in ten months.
Listen...
Rose, I... I wanted to call you.
Oh, Peter, it's fine. We-- We don't--
- No, it's not-- - No--
It's not fine.
Okay? I'm sorry. I should have called you.
I know what you're doing is important, but now you need help.
Yeah.
If you knew you couldn't trust anyone, why not reach out to Travers?
Being a night agent, it's not like answering the phone for them.
Okay? I can't go to the President until I get Warren
and find out what intel he was leaking to who,
and who at Night Action is compromised.
Because if it's Catherine, she could be bad-mouthing me to POTUS.
No, I need undeniable proof before I go to her.
What's it like, you know, uh, being a night agent?
I know how excited you were getting on that plane.
Yeah.
It's like being a rod bearing.
- Okay. - You're not the car.
You're not even the engine.
You're just a really, really small, really important piece of the engine.
And you can't fail.
Because if you fail, everything around you starts falling apart.
And, uh...
Yeah, you can't let that happen.
Well, it looks like you're on the right track.
New York is one of the most heavily surveilled cities in the country.
- Warren will probably turn up again. - We'll see.
Now, can I ask, is that his house?
Or is that just a VHS tape from the year 1995 playing on a loop?
I don't really have access to an FBI surveillance kit at the moment,
so it's the best I got.
So you bought some discount-bin cameras
from the last remaining Radio Shack?
- Works, doesn't it? - Yeah, I guess.
No, that... That townhouse used to be his,
but he lost that and custody of Ethan in a divorce.
About a month ago, he had fake passports made for him and his son.
I think he's trying to take Ethan and disappear.
So you know that Ethan's dad is trying to take him,
and instead of telling the police, you're waiting for it to happen?
He's the only lead I have. I'll keep Ethan safe.
Oh, something is up.
They're going to his basketball game. Ethan's in the playoffs.
- How do you know that? - Started coaching Ethan at the park.
Coaching him or pickpocketing him?
I learned from the best.
- Wait, where are you going? - Warren might be trying to grab him.
- You stay here, and then when I'm back-- - No, I'm not staying here by myself.
Didn't you hear anything I had to say?
I cannot take you with me. I can't protect you.
And I can't be alone right now. Besides, I can help, you know.
Am I safer with you or alone?
Ethan. Ethan. Hey. Hey, buddy. Hey.
What's going on?
Should I go?
- What happened to your face? - Nothing. I just took a really bad fall.
- It's good to see you, pal. - You too.
Okay, look, I know we talked about meeting up a little bit later on,
but some things have come up.
We have to head out now if we're gonna get time to see each other.
- What about my game? - We're gonna have to skip it.
But it's really important that we leave right now, okay?
Yeah? Let's go. Come on.
Ethan? You still in here? It's game time.
Come on, let's go!
Ethan, what are you do--
Warren? What's going on?
- Ethan, grab your coat. Wait outside. - Hey, no, wait a minute.
Go to your mom, Ethan, right now.
I'm your father, not him. Grab your coat and wait outside.
I wanna talk to Frank.
Hey, Ethan, don't. Just...
- He's not your kid. - You're violating a court order.
You violated my goddamn marriage.
You're fucking my wife while I serve this country?
You're living in my home with my son?
You're lecturing me about what's right?
How about what's right for Ethan?
Locker room.
- Oh shit. - Hey, I got him. Go.
- Okay. - Okay. Hey.
What happened?
It... it was Warren. He took Ethan.
You have any idea where Warren's taking him?
David, what are you doing here? Where's Ethan?
Patricia, listen to me, okay? I'm FBI.
It's important that you tell me anything you might know
about where Warren might be going.
I don't know!
Hey, look at me. My name's Rose, and I'm gonna help you, okay?
- You can handle it. - What's going on?
Warren's trying to flee with Ethan. We can stop him if you help.
He's trying to kidnap Ethan? He's a lunatic.
- We have to call the police. - You should, but Warren has a head start.
- Can you tell us about where he might go? - I have no idea.
When you were married, did he talk about emergency scenarios, meet-up points?
Sure. He said it was normal in his line of work.
Would you remember where any of them are on a map?
- Maybe some. - You got something?
He's gotta have a way out of the country. We gotta narrow it down.
I can sort the AdVerse results by location.
Maybe seeing where he's been will tell us where he's going.
Okay, here we go.
Are any of these places familiar?
That one, kind of.
- Long Island? - My parents live there.
There's an old motel in the middle of Farmingdale
he said to go to if anything ever happened.
- What else is in the area? - Private companies, mostly.
There's a small airport, flight schools.
- He's a pilot. - My God!
We'll stop him.
What you guys need to do is call the police, tell them what happened.
And then go home.
Maybe Ethan got away and he's trying to get back.
How long will it take to arrange the paperwork?
Let's just see if you got the goods here.
Yeah, this is worthless. I can't do anything with this.
But I copied this directly from our mission's files.
It... it has details of Iran's drone program.
There's nothing in here we haven't seen before.
You said the CIA would grant me and my family asylum
if I gave you intelligence.
First off, you came to us.
And second, we're interested in valuable intelligence.
And without that, the CIA is under no obligation to meet your demands.
Sorry.
Do you know what will happen to me if I'm caught stealing from the mission?
Of course I know. But that was your choice.
You think you're the first foreigner to promise us intelligence
in exchange for some kind of a favor?
- I've played this game before. - This is not a game to me.
I only have one week to get my brother out of Iran.
And if I defect,
I cannot leave him or my mother behind, or they will face retaliation.
Okay, look, we wanna help, but you have to earn it.
Still have that burner phone?
All right, you come up with something extraordinary,
you know how to get a hold of me.
The... the ambassador has been having secret meetings
with an American in the intelligence community.
You know this how?
I heard a rumor at the mission.
Rumor.
If it's true, it means you Americans may have a leak.
If it's true, find proof.
Then maybe we can help you.
Anything else you can provide?
- Patricia? - Yes?
I'd like to talk to you about your ex-husband.
- Did you catch the psychotic prick? - Who are you?
I'm with the FBI.
Have David and Rose found Ethan?
- David and Rose? - Your two agents.
They were here after Warren took Ethan. They went chasing after him.
- Him? - Yeah, David.
Has he found my son?
- Where's your phone? - I don't have it.
Are you positive? I gotta make sure no one's tracking us.
I don't know where it went. It got mixed up with one of my friend's.
- Yeah, what friend? - David.
The guy who's been coaching me.
That guy's not your friend, okay? That guy used you to get to me!
To hurt me, you understand?
- Where are we going? - Someplace safe.
Well, what about Mom?
Okay, uh, Mom, um...
Look, I know that everything's moving really fast right now,
but it's gonna be okay. I'll explain everything when we get out of here.
You and me, we're starting over, okay?
Trust me. Yeah? Trust me?
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. All right.
Help! There's an emergency on the runway. I... I need your help.
- Stay. - Quick!
What happened?
My friend, she fell, and she's unconscious,
and there's no one around, and I need your help.
Ethan, come with me.
Come on!
Get away from him!
Ethan!
What are you two doing with him?
We're taking him home to his mom. Taxi's on the way.
- What are you doing with my dad? - I work for the government.
And your dad's done some bad things.
No, Ethan. Don't listen to him. Ethan, he's lying.
Peter, he doesn't need to see any of this.
Peter? Your name isn't David?
Look, I know this doesn't make any sense right now.
And believe me, I know exactly what you're going through, okay?
I'm sorry.
You don't deserve any of this.
Wait, please.
Ethan, I can explain. Wait.
Wait, wait, please.
I love you!
- You sure you don't wanna talk? - Just leave me alone.
Hey, Ethan.
Hey.
Your dad's going to be safe, okay?
I promise.
Hey, uh, excuse me. Can you just wait a minute, please?
Look, I'm sorry that you got caught up in all this,
but I couldn't have found Warren without you, so thank you.
What? What is it?
Just don't ever stop being the real Peter, okay?
Don't do anything to him you'll regret.
Everything in the van, the apartment, it's not you.
When I'm done here, I'll come find you and explain everything.
Okay.
So after I drop Ethan home, I'm gonna fly back to California.
Good.
Do me a favor.
Get the night bus out of Chinatown, okay? Go up to Boston, fly out of Logan Airport.
It'll be safer that way.
- What about you? - I'll be fine.
Okay.
Be careful, okay?
Yeah.
What are you doing here?
Just cleaning up.
You're an aide here, yes?
Yes. Just a junior aide, actually.
Trying to make a good impression on the ambassador.
I apologize if I kept you here late.
I'm Noor.
Javad.
I've seen you.
Excuse me?
Where's your family from?
Isfahan.
Mine too.
I grew up near Ghadir Garden.
You did?
I used to walk by there on my way to school.
There's a shop on the north side that makes great zoolbia.
- Maison Chai? - Yes!
Wow, small world.
I didn't think I would miss home much.
But now that you mention it, I could really go for some zoolbia.
You can find any cuisine in New York.
Even Persian food.
I better put this away.
May I walk you back to the residences?
That's very kind of you. But I don't want to trouble you.
It's no trouble.
Besides, American streets aren't always safe,
especially at night.
I also don't mind waiting
if you have other work you need to finish first.
All right then. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Am I ever gonna get to see my son again?
- Hello? - It's Director Gedney.
I'm with Deputy Director Mosley at his office.
What fresh hell has the FBI and CIA heads convening?
Can't be good.
The President wanted us to inform you of a tip the CIA received today.
An asset under development in New York
approached us about a U.S. intelligence leak.
Seems the Iranians may have come into possession of classified information.
We think this could be related to your case.
POTUS wants to bring Night Action in on it.
You think Warren Stocker came back to the city to sell intel to the Iranians?
Unclear.
We're trying to verify details.
Returning to U.S. soil to commit more crimes
when you're already being hunted, well, that's either stupid or stubborn.
Who's the asset you're developing?
Thank you.
No, don't visit Times Square.
But that's New York.
It's a circus. Trust me.
If you want to experience the city, visit the bodegas.
All kinds of people go there. And they have everything.
I'll take your word for it.
Thank you for walking me back.
I'll see you at the office tomorrow.
Yes.
And maybe during lunch,
you can introduce me to New York-style Persian food.
I usually work through lunch.
Of course.
Well, good night.
Good night.
Noor?
Yes?
You're not just an aide, you know.
Your work is important.
I'm sure your family is very proud of you.
Hey, Ethan.
Parents make mistakes, okay?
They can make mistakes, but also love you.
- Mom! - Ethan!
The Chinatown bus, please.
Are you eating well?
Yes, Mom. Don't worry.
You look pale. Are you eating enough fruits?
I am. Want to see?
Yes.
Look.
- Are those strawberries? - Yes.
They're huge!
- How much did all that cost? - Not much, really.
You can find all kinds of fruits and vegetables here,
and they're not as expensive as back home.
- Must be so nice. - It is, Mom.
I wish I could show you.
I need to go stir the porridge.
Farhad! Talk to your sister.
Good morning, brother.
When are you coming home?
So you miss me, huh?
I miss having someone else to help Mom with all the chores.
Fair.
- Do you know what would be even better? - What?
If you came to visit me,
we'd have no chores.
I'd take you around the city.
That would be fun, right?
Some day, maybe.
Yes, maybe someday.
If you're gonna torture me, just...
My father sold state secrets too. Did you know that?
I didn't wanna believe it at first, but it's true.
You know why he did it?
To provide for you.
I'd like to believe that.
But the real answer is I have no idea.
What I do know is that he regretted it.
And right before he died, he decided to do the right thing.
Now, I get it.
I understand why someone would sacrifice everything for their family.
I admire it, even. I do.
And if that's the reason my dad did what he did,
then I might be able to forgive him.
Now, listen.
I don't know when, or even if, that you'll ever get to see Ethan again.
But I can give him some clarity about his father.
I'm not gonna torture you.
Okay? I'm not gonna kill you. That's not who I am.
If you don't tell me what I wanna know, I'm just gonna give you to the FBI.
Okay. They're gonna charge you for treason,
then they'll rewrite the entire narrative of your life.
And whatever it is that they decide to tell Ethan about you...
that's all he's ever gonna know.
Or you can answer my questions
honestly and promptly,
and I'll explain to Ethan.
Okay? I will, I promise.
I'll explain to him that his father did the right thing in the end.
Okay?
I'll make sure, personally, that he understands
that his father had a good side.
And that's something that I never got.
- What do you wanna know? - Bangkok.
What was the intel you were passing on? Who were you selling it to?
He said his name was Arthur.
Okay? But it had to be an alias.
And I got the feeling he wasn't the actual buyer.
He... he was more like the middleman.
There was another man at the drop. He sort of stood out.
Beard, white suit, no tie.
He was watching the whole thing, the handoff. Who was he?
I don't know. I only traded with Arthur. I had no idea who he was working with.
Hey, why would I lie?
Huh? Why would I lie now?
Let's find out.
Who compromised the Night Action line?
Who's the fucking mole that got my partner killed?
I don't know. What's a Night Action?
Look, I was working alone. All right?
I needed to get Ethan away from Patricia and that...
asshole, Frank.
When I started working overseas, I begged Patricia to come with me.
She said we couldn't pull Ethan out of school.
So... so I went by myself.
Then she started having an affair with that... that... that shitbag architect.
Ended up divorcing me. Then I fucking lose custody?
