residing in Ireland.

It's tricky, they want a light footprint.

- Well, you've got Paul.

- I've got Paul, but Paul...

Paul has presented himself

as one half of a power couple.

This is your pitch?

You want me to be eye candy?

Ml6 wants me to be eye candy?

Mallory, you are the eye.

I don't even know how to play that.

I don't wear the dress.

- Make Paul wear the dress.

- Well, I'll ask.

Look, do this and then we'll go away

afterwards. We'll go to Majorca.

- Majorca?

- Not like before, as friends.

You can take a break.

It's literally two days.

Paul. That's Paul.

You guys would be like the perfect couple.

So he'll know you.

I need this to happen.

- Hi.

- Hi.

My better half. You look great.

Mind if I freshen up first?

Presumably, you'll need more time.

Go ahead.

All yours.

Wow. You look fantastic.

Can you zip me?

Of course.

- I'm leaving my gun.

- Me, too.

Shall we?

Russborough. Remember Russborough.

Russborough.

Who's Russborough?

Not a who. A what. A place.

It's where we were supposed to meet Studer.

Not your natural habitat, is it?

Wrong side of the tracks.

Kept getting into fights.

Bleak future.

Kenneth knows

how to put trouble to good use.

I'm empty.

- You have family?

- Both parents, still going strong.

T eachers.

Two brothers and a rather adorable niece.

Whiskey.

- They know what you do?

- No.

I can never lie to my dad.

Then he must worry about you.

I tell him not to.

Still keeping tabs?

I hate babysitting jobs.

That guy just recognized me.

- Who?

- Gray shirt, gray tie, goatee.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Why would he know you?

'Cause the last time I saw him,

I was in Baghdad in my hotel room.

All right. Here comes our friend.

Well, it's obvious you're newlyweds.

Still talking to each other

instead of the other guests.

- I'm sorry. Are we being rude?

- No, no.

- Katie, Eric Studer.

- Hi.

Listen, I had some brainwave.

What are you two doing afterwards?

Well, I don't know. You're jet-lagged, right?

No, I'm sorry. I mean tomorrow, this week.

No particular plans.

- We were going back to London.

- London?

I may have better than this.

We're going to Saint Moritz.

- "We"?

- Yeah, some friends.

It'll be fun. We'll fly in,

put you up at a Suvretta.

- Well...

- Do you ski?

- Snowboard.

- These are the Alps, they're pretty steep.

Like the prices. We'll discuss it.

No, no, no discussion. We go.

I'll send the itinerary to your hotel.

Wheels up at 11 :00.

Okay? Okay?

You locate Goatee. I'll take Studer.

Myself and a few friends

are heading to a nice little village.

Maybe you could come and join us.

- Sounds good.

- Yeah?

Bet you look good in white.

Fluffy, little bunny.

I should think Sunday.

Sunday?

Maybe Saturday, if we're lucky.

Then let's be lucky.

- Mrs. Hillier.

- Hi Katie.

Katie. You haven't promised to come skiing.

I can't even find my way around here.

Richard is in the other room. I just left him.

Well, actually, I was looking for the...

They're in the back of the library.

So much wine.

- So much to look at.

- Yeah.

You've only seen the inside.

I should show you the maze.

Isn't it a little dark out there?

Perfect time.

I get claustrophobic, even in the daytime.

No, the whole point is to relax

and lose yourself.

I'll take a rain check.

This is Ireland. Won't be long.

And to find your way back,

retrace your steps.

F***.

Hi.

- Where are you?

- In the bathroom.

I'm not used to drinking so much.

My friend from Baghdad has a date.

Well, a couple, actually.

I think it's the paid-for kind.

Where are you?

In the main room.

I spoke to Studer briefly

and made our apologies,

told him we'd discuss Saint Moritz

in the morning.

I think we should get back to the hotel

and talk to Kenneth, don't you?

Thank you.

Mallory, you're in way over your head.

Think this through.

You've been out of control

since you've arrived.

You need to call Kenneth.

Excuse me. I should take this.

Pauly?

So, is the divorce final?

Paul, are you there?

Mallory.

- Hello.

- Dad, it's Mal.

Things are kind of screwed up here

and I need to come home.

It may take me a couple of days,

depending on what happens.

Don't worry about me,

you just get here as quick as you can.

I'll try.

Keep your eyes open.

I haven't shut my eyes since you were born.

Just be careful.

And watch your six.

I will.

I'll see you at the house.

- Can I get this cell phone?

- It's 42.50.

There you go.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Get over there. Let's go. Come on.

Rodrigo. Hi, it's Mallory Kane.

- Mallory Kane.

- I hope it's not too late.

I just landed in New York.

Do you have a minute?

I just felt like I had to call.

I was going over my report,

and I realized

I never thanked you for all your help.

It's really not necessary.

It's not even customary.

Well, it should be.

But I just wanted to verify one thing

with you before I actually file my report.

Was it you or Ken neth

who sold the Barcelona job to Studer?

Rodrigo.

What are you working so late for?

It's what, past 8: 00, your time?

Yeah. Listen, Mallory Kane just called me.

I thought you should know.

- Wait, she called you at home?

- Yes.

Was that a nice conversation?

Yeah, yeah, very nice.

Brief, but very nice. Yeah.

She thanked me for my assistance.

She still in Dublin?

She said she just landed in New York.

Good.

Good. Well,

why don't you stay off your house line,

and I wouldn't go outside till I call you back.

Or your family.

- I see. Thank you.

- All right.

Rodrigo, you take care, all right?

Yeah, sure. Bye.

Tyler, the activity log

for the number that I just sent you,

I want you to connect me

to the last incoming call.

Who is this?

Mallory, hi. My name is Alex Coblenz.

I was with Kenneth and Rodrigo

when the Barcelona deal went down.

Who else besides you knows about this?

No, only the people

that need to know in order to fix it.

The people who thought up Barcelona.

Mallory, we did not think up Barcelona.

No, you just helped.

- Can you bring me in?

- We can, yes,

but I'd like you

to keep doing what you're doing.

We want you to bust Kenneth's budget,

you know, see how he reacts.

Everyone he reaches out to,

you know, it's like another layer.

What do you think he's into?

Well, whatever it is,

Kenneth is not at the top.

It's just not possible. We like Studer.

We think there's something there.

You gotta get me off the watch list.

Mallory, I cannot do that.

You know, while Kenneth's watching,

he'll know we spoke.

I promise I'll do everything I can

to convince him to meet you.

Then you can find out

what we both want to know,

which is why this is happening.

I got a fake I D in London,

came in through Canada,

and crossed the border.

Coblenz helped me set up a meeting

with Kenneth, but Aaron showed up instead.

And then I met you.

There's some water in my backpack.

Have some.

Don't mind if I do. Thank you.

- You want some?

- Yeah, please.

- Help me.

- Yeah, sorry.
