- Hi, I'm Weston.

- Guest room?

It's right around the

corner. Two rights and a left.

All the way back.

That's Tobin Frost.

Stay with him.

Let's go download our gear.

Yes, sir.

Linen closet?

Down the hall. Just

right at the end, there.

Kill all the surveillance

cameras in this room.

My name is Daniel Kiefer.

We were at

The Farm together.

Technically,

you were a year ahead.

I'm here to make you

aware of your rights.

You're being held under

a National Security Directive,

which means you have none,

but you know that.

Six-hundreds.

The towels,

you need six-hundreds.

Those are 350,

You're gonna

need six-hundreds.

I want to know

the reasons for you being in Cape Town.

I want you to name your

resources, contacts, assets,

everybody you've

done business with,

traded intel with,

sold secrets to,

in the nine years since

you betrayed your country.

Absolutely.

Anything you want, Daniel.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

lasted 20 seconds.

They had six-hundreds.

Is this legal?

Bring him down.

Bring him up.

How long was that?

All right,

take him down.

Bring him up!

Get me a knife.

Miller?

Get in there

with Frost.

Sir, all the security cameras

are down.

- Reboot. I want to see what's out there.

- Copy that.

Let's go, boys!

Go! Go! Go!

Let's go, move!

Velez, take this corner.

Ericksson,

get the back elevator.

Pope, what do you got?

Sir, I see approximately 12

heavily armed men in perimeter two.

Okay, gents!

Work fore to aft.

Two-by-twos.

Perimeter two.

- Greer?

- Sir!

- Ericksson?

- Yes, sir.

Velez?

Velez?

I'm good!

Let's go, fellas.

- Incoming!

- Grenade!

Greer!

Step-slide!

Start walking back!

Velez!

Three-round bursts!

Velez, where's Greer?

He's over there, sir.

Go, son.

This ain't a test.

This is the real thing.

What are you

gonna do?

You don't want

to try me.

- Magazine!

- Let's go.

Velez, stay there!

Listen to me,

stay there!

Son of a b*tch!

Miller!

Miller!

Hey! Get in here!

Hey, hey. Take these.

Go watch him.

Hey, they're here for me,

but they want me alive.

You, they'll kill.

You got one

in the chamber?

It's okay.

I remember my first

posting. Rio de Janeiro.

A house like this.

Beautiful women.

Not one single visitor, but

I remember rule number one.

You are responsible

for your houseguest.

I'm your houseguest.

The clock is ticking.

They gave you the keys.

Do your duty, son.

Shut up. Let me think.

You want to be the guy

that lost Tobin Frost?

Tick-tock,

tick-tock, tick-tock.

Where's Frost?

We're leaving.

Where is he?

Stay here, stay here!

Wait! Don't move!

Hey, hey, hey!

Go!

Get in the trunk.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, get in.

- The trunk?

- Get in the trunk now!

No!

Ops Center.

Echo Three

Victor Echo Nine.

Go ahead.

This is Weston. 7-R's

been hit. Everyone's dead.

I need you to repeat that, please.

Say again.

Kiefer, his team,

everyone, they're all dead.

Stand by.

Transferring.

It's the house.

- Linklater.

- This is Weston.

The safe house

has been breached.

What's your location?

I'm eastbound

on Albert Road.

Im just

passing Woodstock.

I want eyes on this.

Real-time sat feed.

And what's

the location of the guest?

We escaped.

Clarify.

Do you have the guest?

Yes, we escaped!

Look, I can make it

to the consulate.

There's no chance

for SDR,

I think I might have

picked up a tail.

We can't have a gun battle

in front of the consulate.

Diplomatic catastrophe.

Where's that

satellite feed?

Denied by National Recon.

War theater use only.

Buy us some time.

Do not go

to the consulate.

Follow protocol

Alpha Zero.

Secure the guest

and stay off the grid.

Reconnect at 1800 hours.

I repeat, stay off the grid.

Copy, copy, copy.

All right, Cape Town police

have responded to the house.

- Confirmed.

I want the site secured.

I'm hearing nine dead.

Initiating damage control.

I'm on it.

Reaching out to NIA now.

The locals are going to

have that house locked off.

Check all the traffic cameras,

police reports...

Find out why Frost wanted

to go in that consulate to begin with

and who in the hell else

might be after him.

We need to get Weston and

Frost out of South Africa.

Now, do we have any tactical

teams? Anything in play?

Yeah, I have assets in

Egypt, but they're in deep.

If I pull them out, that would

compromise two years' worth of work.

I can scramble a team

from Europe or Asia,

but it's going to

take at least 18 hours.

At this point,

Weston is all we got.

I need to find out who this

Matt Weston is, right now.

Matthew James Weston.

Born 02-24-82 to

Terry and Madeline Weston

in Port Washington,

New York.

An assault arrest,

one month after

both parents and

a younger sister

were killed in

a traffic accident

in which his

father's blood-alcohol

was twice

the legal limit.

Yale, degree in Economics,

recruited out of Yale law.

High marks in analytics

and linguistics at The Farm.

Excellent in

tradecraft skills.

His girlfriend, Ana Moreau,

is a French national.

He reported them

as having "close and continuing contact."

She's a second year resident

in the oncology department at Groote Schuur.

Get in that car.

She accepted a

position with Htel-Dieu Hospital

in Paris,

starts in two weeks.

No known political

affiliations. She's clean.

I want you to post a car

outside their apartment.

Use back channels.

And get NSA to cross-check their telephone

records and their e-mails, please.

Yes, ma'am.

You know, it would be

easier if I knew where we were going.

You just drive, all right?

Just drive, middle lane.

All right.

Hey, what are you doing?

Middle lane.

Just drive around.

All right.

I'm driving.

Nice to know who you're

talking to. What's your name?

You crushed my windpipe.

Well, you locked me

in the trunk.

Come on, you're not NOC. You're

here under your real name.

What is it?

Weston, Matt.

All right.

How long you been

a safe house keeper?

Twelve months.

Happy birthday.

Cape Town,

that's low-level detail.

You should have been

out of here by now.

Maybe I requested

the assignment.

Or maybe Langley doesn't

trust you with anything else.

So, what's your plan?

Oh, let me guess.

Follow protocol.

Protocol states that

if your house is crashed,

you do an SDR to make sure

no one's following you.

Activate your GPS in your

Go-Bag, select another safe house.

You think I'm going to

let you just take me in?

I think you need

to shut up.

I think you need to consider how your

house was attacked in the first place.

Have you done that, Matt?

They followed Kiefer. They

followed him from the consulate,

and that's how they

found the safe house.

Come on, you don't really

believe that, do you?

How did they know I was near

the consulate in the first place?

Hmm.

But I like this, you know.

You and me, figuring sh*t out.

Like the Hardy Boys.

That house was

a secure location.

Whoever crashed it

didn't stop by a gas station and ask for
