We are doing the best we can.

[beep]

DIGGS:
That was a lucky find,

the art exhibit.

URSULA:
He's a local painter.

Funny, I don't think I've ever

come across one before.

Maybe you just haven't been

paying attention to what's around you.

Maybe not.

So what made you come to Sofia?

Change of scenery, new opportunities,

that sort of thing.

And you like your employer,

the government of the U.S.?

[laughs] Yeah, fine.

What about you?

You like what you do?

I love it.

I'd like to live in the mountains one day,

away from the city.

I have to go.

Really? So soon?

What time do you go on tonight?

I'd love to come and see you.

No, not tonight.

I'm sorry, Robert. I have to go.

You're very nice, Robert.

I'd like it if you call me.

Okay, I will.

MAN:
Next target, Abdullah Said.

[dog barks]

[beeping]

[speaking Turkish]

[speaking Arabic]

[frustrated sigh]

[exhales]

Heh.

Wait a minute.

It's a bag.

That's it.

The last time we were together,

you became agitated when I mentioned

your parents, remember?

When I asked you if you missed them?

Now...

I want you to cast

your mind back, Vicki.

I want you to think about

that little girl,

what life was like for her

after her parents died.

Aah!

Aah!

[screaming]

Now... I'm going to ask you some questions

that may seem strange,

but I want you to answer them

naturally, okay?

Now, lie back, get comfortable.

All right, good.

And relax and breathe.

Breathe.

Will you take off your glasses, please?

Tell me your full name.

Victoria Denov.

What year were you born in?

1970s... Seventy-...

'77, I think.

What city were you born in?

Sofia.

No, Paris.

Wait...

DR. KAHN:

What is your mother's first name?

Your mother's first name, Vicki.

Now, you must try and answer

these questions.

[hyperventilating]

What is your mother's name?

I can't-

I can't remember.

DR. KAHN:
Calm-calm down.

Breathe. Breathe.

Memory loss is a natural reaction

in some cases,

so breathe.

That's it now.

Sometimes it's a product of something

as simple as stress, okay?

You guys blame everything

on stress.

So I'm not going crazy?

No, you're not going crazy.

[speaking Bulgarian]

[belly dance music plays]

[audience clapping in time]

[both laugh]

[singing in Bulgarian]

Does this feel right to you?

It feels perfect to me.

It feels perfectly right to me, too.

[passing klaxon]

[speaking Turkish]

[knock on door]

How are you today?

I think you know

what I'm going to ask you.

The same thing I ask you

every time we meet.

Are you ready to tell me

about your parents...

the family tragedy

that made you what you are today?

What's your thought?

Do you feel something about that?

I don't know why we meet

if you're not going to participate

in our sessions.

Tell me about your parents' death.

Allahu Akbar!

Excuse me, um...

isn't Ursula supposed

to be on at 6:
00 tonight?

No. She's not in tonight.

- Robert.

- Hey.

Are you leaving?

I was supposed to meet the girl here.

Ah, no, stay with me.

I'll buy you a drink.

Excuse me, my friend.

Two dark scotches, please,

on the rocks.

I don't get it. We had an amazing time

together, it was all great.

I was supposed to meet her here

and she doesn't show.

Ah, ever the hopeless romantic.

Remember, Robert, it might just be

your passport she's falling in love with.

That's a little cynical, isn't it, Aaron?

Oh, so it's love, is it?

Anyway, how's that case of yours?

Any progress to report?

Nothing yet.

I don't think I'll ever find out

who this killer is.

There she is.

[music begins]

What was that about?

I don't know.

Maybe it's a part of her act.

There she goes.

I'm going after her.

[man shouts]

[brakes screech, horn honks]

[driver shouts]

[gasping]

Ursula! Ursula, please, it's Robert.

Just open the door.

Robert?

Come on, sweetie,

I just want to talk to you.

Please let me in.

You must leave.

It's okay.

All right? It's all right.

- Stop, stop, stop.

- What, what?

I'm sick, okay?

What are you talking about?

Something is happening to me.

The headaches, the blackouts.

It's like I'm going insane.

We'll just leave Sofia.

We can go anywhere you want to go.

I can't.

Come with me. Please, please.

There is something important I must do.

I need two days.

Two days? Why?

Why not right now?

Listen, there is a cafe

next to the National Theater.

Meet me there at noon

the day after tomorrow.

Please.

No questions. That's all I ask.

Two days.

[chuckles]

Multiple personality disorder.

Perfect.

[laughing]

Lonewolf,

I am ready for your final instructions.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Proceed to the final target.

[speaking Bulgarian]

Hey.

[speaking Bulgarian]

Excuse me.

Get out of the way.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

No witnesses.

Aah!

[man shouts]

[gunshots]

[shouting]

DR. KAHN:
Give me your full name.

Victoria Denov.

What year were you born?

What is your mother's first name?

What city were you born in?

Sofia.

No, Paris?

[cell phone vibrates]

Hello?

URSULA:
You look tired.

Where are you?

How is your knee?

What did you say?

Where are you?

You look very handsome.

Where are you?

Robert, I'm sorry.

I love you, but I can't.

Wait. Wait.

Please, don't go.

Papers are reporting

that one of the top military strategists

of the T.I.J.'s been killed

in the strike at the madrasa.

It is confirmed it was a front

for training terrorists.

- Wait.

- Yeah?

Archive this.

Close the file.

[telephone rings]

[ring]

DIGGS:
Aaron,

I'm sure you're with a patient,

but, uh...

I really need to speak with you.

It's important.

Call me back.

AMBASSADOR:

See, Mihail? [laughs]

Even the exemplary one

couldn't figure it out.

Yes, sir.

I told you dissociative identity

would work.

She's ready for Paris.

Yeah, I agree.

What about our next assignment?

A dossier will be

at your hotel tomorrow.

Just keep doing

what we've been doing,

but put her under narco-analysis

with Paris, okay?

Very well, sir. Okay.

See ya.

Good work.

Good luck.

[speaking French]
