Frost's description

leaving this

location together.

So, he pulled it off.

Weston is aiding and

abetting a fugitive.

You're wrong.

If he's with Frost, he's

taking him to the safe house.

That's where we got to be.

Fine. Fine.

Meet me at the crossroads

at Old Malmesbury Road.

Who are you?

You Weston?

Give me the shotgun.

What the hell is this?

Who are you?

I'm Keller.

Safe house keeper.

Authorization Index, Bravo

Four Seven Oscar Whiskey Six.

Inside. Let's go.

To the left.

Slowly.

I don't know who trained you,

man, but this sure as hell

ain't protocol.

- Where's the guest room?

That's the thing, we

don't really have one.

In there. In there.

Cuff him.

To the pipe.

Out. Over there.

All right.

Control room.

Whatever you say, man.

It's your rodeo.

Call it in.

Let me hear it.

Landlord.

My guest is here.

Account?

Abaresque Limited.

With a guest?

Yeah, package delivered.

Confirmed.

Pickup scheduled.

They're on the way.

Can we at least

put the gun down now?

Thanks, Clayton. Bye.

It's a microchip.

What?

That was

my guy from Ml6.

Wade got his hands

on a microchip.

And what was on it?

Only Wade knew,

but I think

it's safe to assume

that's why he

hooked up with Frost.

To sell it.

Let's get moving.

Long day, huh?

I can only imagine.

Tobin Frost.

That man's a legend.

I hope you

picked up something.

You ain't going to

find a better education.

This is the most

excitement I've seen.

You're the first guest

I've had in 10 months.

But you wouldn't know

anything about that, right?

You got a city posting.

Yeah, nightlife, beaches.

Little ladies

running around everywhere.

Yeah.

Im jealous.

You got coffee?

Yeah, it's in the cupboard.

Where?

- Want me to get it?

- I got it.

Why are you

in Cape Town?

Tell me now. Why?

What is it?

A dirt list,

laundry list.

Israeli Intelligence, five years

ago, compiled blackmail intel.

Corrupt agents,

German Intelligence, Ml6...

CIA?

Yes.

We got to get away.

We got to get out of here.

Ah, sh*t.

Don't, don't, don't.

No, don't leave me here,

please.

Don't do it.

Matt?

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm proud of you.

And what you pulled off.

You're going to make

a hell of a case officer.

Where's Frost?

He's gone.

Place is a wreck.

Blood everywhere.

Was he injured or...

I guess you know

he killed Keller.

No.

I killed Keller.

Frost killed Keller.

He killed Linklater, too.

Did he talk about anything?

Anything he was after?

Anything he might

have had?

The file.

The file?

The file that you're on.

Along with a lot

of other people.

Important people.

Listen to me.

What would you do

if someone is

watching your every move?

Some maybe

you're not proud of.

And you will have some you're

not proud of, believe me.

And then tries to

use it against you?

You would do

what you have to do.

You would do

what you have to do.

Where's the file?

Matt, the file.

Where is the file?

You're a dead man.

Yeah, a long time now.

Frost is here.

Let's go.

We got him.

A hell of a job.

You smell that?

Pinotage. It's a good grape. Great wine.

Local grape.

Pinotage is great...

I don't want you

losing this one.

It's worth a lot

of money.

You're a good boy,

Matty.

You know what you are.

Hey.

I know what you're not.

You're better than me.

No, it's okay,

just be better than me.

You promise me.

Yeah.

Well, let's...

Let's go.

I just got to get up.

I need to get up.

Stay.

Stay.

Hey...

That's exactly

as it happened.

Obviously,

this situation needs

to be handled with a

certain amount of finesse.

Has anybody else

seen this report?

No, sir. Not yet.

Matt, I'm sure this

comes as no surprise,

but parts of this report are going to

have to be altered for national security.

Which parts, sir?

Well...

David Barlow can't

be held responsible

for what happened

to the safe house.

We just don't

need the scandal.

But, sir, you and I both know that,

that is just not the truth.

People don't want

the truth anymore, Matt.

It's too messy.

Keeps them up nights.

I'll tell you what I am

willing to do, though.

I think the Agency has

grossly underestimated you,

and I'm recommending you for

a senior case officer position.

Provided you still want it.

That's a generous

offer, sir.

Theres just one thing you

need to clarify for me.

Of course.

Frost may have been

carrying some vital intel.

A file.

I'm not seeing that

anywhere in this report.

What was

on the file, sir?

Something that, quite

frankly, could be very damaging

to the Agency

and to our allies.

I don't see why Frost would even

mention something like that to me.

No, I suppose he wouldn't,

would he?

You realize, though,

that if that file did leak,

what would happen

to the person responsible?

That person would

be arrested, sir.

He'd be risking

everything.

He'd have enemies in every

intelligence agency in the world.

In the eyes of the CIA, he'd

be just like Tobin Frost.

Frost didn't say anything

about a file, sir.

All right, son.

Take a few days off.

We'll get you

started next week.

Thank you.

And think about our

conversation, would you?

Will do.

I'll take it

from here, sir.

...and other media outlets

received a controversial file

from an anonymous source.

The international

intelligence community is still reeling

from the release of so many

highly classified documents

and the revelations of widespread

corruption and criminal activity

at the CIA,

the BND, and Ml6.

...is in an uproar over the lack

of oversight given to

British Intelligence,

demanding accountability

of the rogue agents.

Officials at Ml6

are fully cooperating.

Chancellor Merkel

insists that the BND

has already identified

the corrupt agents

and contained

the intelligence breach.

She has ensured her

international counterparts...

Indictments are now

expected within the week,

and Congress has demanded

that Deputy Director Harlan Whitford

testify before

a Senate subcommittee

in an effort to

determine how many people

at the CIA are

involved in this

and just how far up

the corruption reaches.
