directions to the nearest safe house.

They were invited.

Someone told them, Matthew.

Think about it.

Someone you know.

So you better ask yourself,

can you trust your landlord?

Go ahead, you're not

going to get in my head.

I already am

in your head.

They're going to

isolate you, Matt.

They're going to be real

nice to you at first.

They're going to put their arm

around you and tell you things like,

"You did a decent job, son.

We'll take it from here."

That's when you know

you're screwed.

Forget about me. They're

going to focus on you.

They're going to try and make

a connection between you and I.

So that if this

all goes wrong,

they'll have something

to fall back on

in their little

Senate hearings.

I'm not your

only enemy tonight.

So, it's someone in-house.

It's the only way this

thing could've happened.

We were

completely buttoned up.

I want a list of everyone

who knew about this.

Backgrounds, affiliations,

particularly any

connections with Frost.

Every movement right

up until this operation.

Your extraction team, how

long had they been together?

My team had been

together six months. Why?

Well, Im just trying to

get my head around this.

That will do, thank you.

- Hello.

- Hey.

Baby, where are you?

I'm all right.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry I didnt call you back,

I saw your missed calls.

You must be worried sick.

Is everything okay?

I'm good.

I'm good. Listen.

This sounds so crazy.

We had some threats against

the clinic last night,

so Parker and I,

we stayed all night

trying to get to

the bottom of it.

And I'm sorry that I didnt call you back.

I should have, right away.

I was so worried.

I know.

Can you do me a favor? Can you go

over to the window for a second?

Why?

Can you just take a quick look

out the window?

I want you to see if

there's anyone out there.

Are there any cars

that don't belong?

Anyone hanging

around out front?

There's a police car.

What's going on?

I'm sorry about this.

I know this is a lot,

but we felt like

it would be best

if we didn't go home

as a precaution,

and I agree with him.

I know theres nothing to worry

about, but I agree with him.

I think you should just go to Dena's

for a little while,

just for a few hours,

and I'll call you in a little bit.

And we'll

get together, okay?

Okay, I'll go.

Okay. I love you.

I'll talk to you soon, all right?

Dont worry. Okay, bye.

She know what you do

for a living?

The girl on the phone.

It was a girl, wasn't it?

Maybe it was a guy,

I don't know.

I dont judge.

You can't expect to have a real

relationship in our line of work, Matthew.

Don't worry. She's

not going to leave you.

See, what happens is, you

try to protect her with lies,

and then it starts

to add up.

At the safe house you said that

they'd kill me to get to you.

After a while,

even the truth...

- Why?

- ...starts to sound like a lie.

You have something. You got

something that they want. What is it?

Is she a local?

Don't worry about her.

What is it?

Oh, it is a girl.

You'll keep covering your

tracks, she'll keep believing.

Because she wants to,

because she needs to.

That's why we exist, you

and me, that's our job.

To take advantage of that.

People's desire

to believe.

To trust.

She's not going to

leave you, Matthew.

You're going

to leave her.

I'm not you.

Correct,

sir. We verified it.

That is your boy.

You take it.

Everybody, stand by.

Matty, it's me.

How are you holding up?

I'm all right.

Matt, we can't get another

team in for at least 12 hours.

Sorry.

We've cleared a new safe

house for you outside the city.

There's a Go-Bag located

at locker number 256, Green

Point Stadium Metrorail station.

The combination

is 2-5-1-22.

Now, the bag's

got a GPS in it.

It'll direct you

to the safe house.

But you got to be careful,

it's an active location.

So, approach

with caution.

Matt?

Do you know how

they found Frost?

Do you know who

led them to us?

We're working on that.

We're counting

on you, Matt.

Get Frost to that safe house and

you can write your own ticket.

I will.

I will.

Left at the light.

To the stadium?

Yeah.

Hey, scarf.

How much for a scarf?

Only fifty rand.

Thanks.

Cuff your hands

together.

- Together?

- Yeah.

Out.

Are you sure you don't

want to just walk away from this?

Can't do that.

Yes, you can.

You should.

Move. Go.

Across the street.

Going to the game.

I like games.

Metrorail,

straight ahead.

Straight ahead.

Right over there.

Let's go.

Help! Help! He's trying to kidnap me!

Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa!

He's trying to

kidnap me! Help!

He's got a gun!

He's got a gun! He's

got a gun right there!

I'm undercover.

I'm undercover!

Calm down, sir.

Everybody, calm down!

Get down! Get down!

All right! Okay!

Get him up. Get up.

Ow, ow, ow!

I'm an American citizen. I don't

know what he wanted from me.

Just calm down.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm a police

officer. I'm from America.

I arrested this man.

His name is Tobin Frost.

Where did you take him?

He's in the infirmary.

There, there!

Is that it?

Top left, second screen from the

top! Look, look, the infirmary.

Right. Go back.

Third-tier infirmary,

now! Move!

Third-tier infirmary.

Go, now!

Do you see?

Don't move.

Frost!

Frost!

Frost!

Hey!

Stop! Stop!

Get out the way!

Stop!

No! Stop!

Medic!

Drop the gun.

Drop it.

I'm responsible for you.

You're responsible

for yourself.

Get on your knees.

Are you going

to kill me?

I only kill professionals.

Height,

approximately six feet.

Anglo, wearing

a stadium security jacket.

The suspect was last seen

entering Green Point Stadium Metrorail,

stadium concourse.

Sir, we have a thread on what

Frost might be doing in Cape Town.

Can you bring up...

Alec Wade.

Fifteen-year NOC at Ml6.

Sabotage, counter-ambush,

counter-IED tactics,

until he blew up an op

in Lisbon four years ago

and was put on a desk,

pushing papers.

Cape Town Police found him

shot through the head,

high-powered rifle, 14

blocks from the consulate.

Witnesses placed someone

fitting Frost's description

in the car at the time

of the shooting.

And we think, what? That

they were working together?

They ran joint operations

in Hamburg in the mid-'80s.

Frost's last sighting

was in Hamburg, 2011.

And what are the Brits

saying about Wade?

Officially,

they're saying nothing.

Unofficially?

He's been the subject of a

five-month internal investigation.

They think he's

been trading intel.

Hmm.

So what the hell

did Wade leak to Frost

that was so important it was

worth killing six of our men?

I want more details from Ml6.

Call in every chit you got.

Yes, sir.

David, I want

an internal investigation

into Daniel Kiefer

and his team.

I've got Weston calling in

for David Barlow.

I lost him.

Frost?

Yeah, he's gone.

After I picked up the GPS,

he created a diversion,

took out a couple of cops

at the stadium.

Any idea

where he's headed?
