monitored, where would you go?

- I'd go to a cafe,

they all have wi-fi

and they're anonymous.

- Within walking

distance of the scene.

Cafe big enough to hide

in with multiple exits.

- Definitely Cafe Mongoose.

Are we getting coffee?

- I guess so.

(suspenseful music)

- So do I get to know

what's going on here?

- Certain government agencies

have lost something important

and we're gonna get it back.

- What did they lose?

- They won't tell us.

Francesco had it on him

when he left this morning,

now he doesn't.

- So someone killed him for it.

- Possibility.

- What else did they tell you?

- What's your

security clearance?

- Three, almost,

three-and-a-half.

- They have half levels

of security clearance now?

- Four, I have a level

four security clearance.

Is this gonna be

like Training Day?

- You think I'm gonna trick

you into smoking crack

then get you to help

me rob a drug dealer?

- No I mean, is this a test?

- Yes, a test.

That's the problem with having

so many federal agencies,

jurisdiction gives

the game away.

- Secret Service,

CIA, State Department,

even the DOE have

their own people.

- There's one government agency

that can't operate on U.S. soil

without congressional approval.

- The Pentagon.

- Pentagon doesn't solve

crimes, or collect secrets,

they fight wars.

- So, it's a weapon, it's

a weapon made of code.

- If they knew to steal it,

we have to assume they

know how to use it,

or intend to sell it

to someone who will.

Looks like we were

right, drive's here.

- Funny place to

start world war three.

How do you wanna do this?

- Follow my lead.

- Hi, what can I get you?

- [Corbin] Coffee, black.

- Sure.

- [Vera] Who are we looking for?

- Something outta place.

I'm gonna get their attention,

watch and see if

anyone doesn't look up.

Federal agents, I

need you to stop

what you're doing right now.

Someone who was just here on a

laptop, I need a description.

Ask the girl at the counter.

- Sh*t, Corbin.

- Sh*t.

- Which way?

- If she had a car it

would've been waiting.

Subway's too far away.

The shuttle.

- That was really great

what you did in there.

- It was procedure.

- No procedure I've ever read.

- It's in there, trust me.

- You know all the rules?

- We're agents of the

United States government,

we enforce laws.

We don't get to make

things up as we go along.

- Like Agent Clay?

- You don't know anything

about Johnathan Clay.

- We did a case study

on him in the academy.

Most decorated agent in

the bureau until he turned.

- Wasn't a traitor.

He was a good man trying

to do the right thing.

- Text book says otherwise.

- Clay never saved

the textbook's life.

- Shall we grab her?

No, she's just a courier.

I'm gonna find out who

she gives the drive to.

- Protocol?

- Yes.

- How did Clay save your life?

- It's not important.

- I'd like to know.

- We're on a raid,

an all-Russian crew,

I got distracted and

suspect got the drop on me.

- Wha'd he do?

- Jumped in front of it.

Took two in the

vest, spun around,

shot the guy right in the face.

- So he was good.

- Depends on what

you mean by good,

but yeah, he's the best

I ever worked with.

- And would you've done the

same, I mean as Clay did?

- I ask myself that a lot.

- And.

- If it was me, probably

would've stood there

with a dumb look on my

face and watched him die.

- Remind me not to

piss off any Russians.

- We're not partners.

- We are today.

- Where are you?

- [Voiceover] We are watching.

- Get me out of here, this

was not part of the plan.

- [Voiceover] It

is under control.

- Under control?

I have two federal

agents chasing after me.

Send someone to

pick up this thing

or I'm gonna drop it

down the storm drain.

- [Voiceover] The FBI has

rules they must abide by.

- What is that suppose to mean?

- [Voiceover] We do not.

If you fail, the law will be

the least of your problems.

- Well then get me out of here.

- [Voiceover] The next

building on the right,

wait by the door.

- She's gone into that building.

- No, she's waiting

in the entrance.

Cross the street

and walk past her.

Tell me if she's gone inside.

Put your coms in.

- [Voiceover] Wait.

- Hurry.

- Do you ever go to visit

him, in prison I mean?

- Visit who?

- Clay.

- [Voiceover] Wait.

- They're here.

- No, any more

personal questions,

or can we go save the world?

- Ready when you are.

- I'm going.

(buzzing)

- Sh*t, she's gone inside.

(apprehensive music)

(ding)

- Go around, there's

gotta be a way through.

She has to be, get

to the station, I'll

try from this side.

Federal agents, open the door.

(tense music)

(ding)

(door shutting)

Where are you?

There's a tunnel leading to 545,

she's making for the front door.

- I'm on it.

(tense music)

- What's your position?

- [Vera] I have the

main entrance covered.

- Do you have visual?

- [Vera] Nothing.

- Where are you?

- [Vera] I'm by the front door.

- I just came out of it.

- Damn.

- Where is she?

- There.

- Stay here, wait

for the next one.

- What're you gonna do?

- I'm gonna stop that train.

(tense music)

This is Agent Jonathan

Corbin, authorization 78786.

I need you to cut

power to grid 82.

All the high voltage.

They'll have backup power.

No, you need to do

what I'm telling you

or you lose your job.

Throw the switch

or go to prison.

- [Voiceover] Attention,

due to a power outage,

this train is being held

here until further notice.

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah.

Oh just everything,

where are you?

I didn't know who

else to reach out to.

Look, I tried to

do something right

and now it's just

all gone to hell.

Oh that's so easy

for you to say.

Really?

Thank you.

I gotta go.

(labored breathing)

- [Vera] Hey.

- Any sign of her?

- No, I just got here.

- What about comin' up Franklin?

- No, nothing.

Sh*t, the museum,

there's a festival,

she'll try and lose

us in the crowd.

Should we call in NYPD so

we have more bodies on hand

so we're not running

ourselves ragged?

- No, once they get

wind of a terror threat

they'll come in guns blazing,

we'll never get to

ID who she's meeting.

- Assuming we find her.

- We'll find her.

She's scared, she's

in over her head,

she'll call the people

who put her up to this.

- What are you thinking?

- About what?

- About who we're dealing with.

- Well it's a pretty

narrow subset of groups.

U.S. has many enemies, not

many willing to wage war

against a super power.

- Iran, North Korea.

- They'd use their own people.

They'd never farm it

out to freelancers.

- Which leaves--

- Domestic threats,

anti-nuclear protesters,

freedom of information

kooks, hackers for hire,

soldiers of fortune,

slag at the bottom

of the terror barrel.

- What's the plan of attack?

- Go to the museum control room,

see what you can

find on the monitors.

I'll flush her out.

- Yes.

- You were told to

stay on the train.

- Hey, you're not the one
