would you?

As far apart as possible?

-Two?

-Yeah.

Two.

One and two.

Don't worry,

l'm not going anywhere.

lf you're that concerned,

you can come in and watch.

l won't piss on you.

Oh, l think you've pissed

on enough people for one day.

Look, l'm sorry.

l don't know what is going on here.

lt has been a hard day all around,

Mrs. Cominski.

Nadia. Please call me Nadia.

What do we do now?

We? We don't do anything.

l go and find backup...

...they put you in another safe house,

where you can be protected properly.

Protected like the last house

we were in?

Who do you think

set us up, Griffith?

Because l know l didn't tell them

where we were.

So this just leaves you and the ClA.

How long do you think l'll be able to

protect you by myself, Mrs. Cominski?

You seem like an intelligent man.

Speak slowly, no big words.

l'll try to keep up.

Jozef Bostanescu wants me

in the worst way.

That part, l think

we already figured out.

Well, bad enough to use

whomever he can to get me.

l am a liability

and a lot of lost money.

And, believe me,

he hates to lose money.

lf you hand me over, l'm dead.

l don't think you understand

how this works.

Well, l think you don't understand.

He gets what he wants from me

and then he kills me.

And if he kills me,

then you don't have a case.

Okay. So if you're running away

from him, why come back here?

l have his money.

Great.

l came here to trade with him.

On my terms, not his.

l give him back the money...

...and he gives me back a life.

Can't stay here.

lt's not loaded.

l wasn't part of their business.

-l was married to it.

-Okay.

Okay. l believe you.

-Let me look at this cut.

-No--

No. Standard procedure.

Gotta look at it.

-You cleaned it.

-Yes.

lf only l could see better in here.

l didn't want those people to die.

l know. l know you didn't.

What--? What the f***--?

What the f*** are you doing?

Sh*t--

-Let me go. What is this?

-This is for your protection.

What? My protection?

Are you gonna leave me here?

-l'll be back soon.

-What--?

And try to stop screaming, all right?

You're supposed to be hiding.

F*** off.

-Does she have a mouth on her.

-A**hole.

-Shepard.

-Shep, it's me, Griff.

-Where are you?

-Safe.

-ls the girl alive?

-Yeah, she's alive. Alive and kicking.

-What the hell happened?

-Oh, nothing.

Just your standard assault...

...on an agency safe house

in the middle of the day.

l don't suppose that you know

who they were or how they found us?

We're trying to figure that out.

Name a pickup point, l'll send a team.

-You gotta be joking.

-No, l'm not joking.

l'm not exactly enamoured with

the way operations work around here.

That's not a request.

That's an order.

Flint is gonna have a sh*t fit

if you go Lone Ranger on this.

Look, from now on,

things go my way or no way.

This does not look good, Griff.

Look good? l'm not going to a prom

with this woman, Shep.

Now, you meet me tomorrow morning,

Oh, yeah, and you come alone.

You do understand ''alone,''

don't you?

Yeah, l understand ''alone.''

Oh, yeah, and another thing.

Flint's office, it's leaking like a sieve.

-Griffith just called me.

-He's alive?

-Yup.

-What about Cominski?

-Yup.

-Amazing.

-Where is he?

-He didn't say.

He wants to see me

tomorrow morning. Alone.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-Standard m.o. for Griffith.

So, what do you want me to do,

go by myself or take a backup team?

Go alone.

Don't wanna spook him

more than necessary.

All right.

How did they found out

where the safe house was?

lf l knew that, we wouldn't be having

this conversation.

Just get in there and wrap this up.

Well, you're all hooked up now.

Great. Yes. l am delighted for you.

Okay. No, no.

lf you need assistance, you call 31 1 .

-Can l help you?

-You're the security contractor.

You're wired up

to this whole place, huh?

Well, that's what the nametag

would suggest, yes.

So how about checking the systems

for me, Agent Mitchel...

-...see if we have a leak.

-Absolutely no point.

Three people died today.

l think that's reason enough.

lf you'd let me finish,

l would've said there's no point...

...because l personally set up

every one of these systems.

l've already swept everybody--

lncluding the phones, before you ask.

--and, yes, thank you,

they are all clean.

-You are sure?

-About which bit, sir?

Look, l realize that right now...

...l am living

in some Third-World shithole.

No offence.

But there was a time-- And not

a million years ago, l hasten to add.

--that l was living in the real world.

What l'm trying to say to you, sir,

very politely...

...is that l do know what l'm doing.

-You were in Washington?

-Washington, yes.

London and Hong Kong.

-What are you doing here?

-Serving penance.

l could pull rank on you,

Agent Mitchel...

...but l'd rather ask nicely.

Just give me whatever you've got.

-Know what l think?

-l'm not asking you on a date.

The information isn't being stolen,

it's being bought.

That's it? That's all you've got?

Way to go, bigtime.

l bet they miss you on the Hill.

lf it shows up, Agent Shepard,

it shows up here.

All right. Do background checks

on everybody here at this station.

-And who's authorizing this?

-l am.

Yeah, all right. Just do it.

Thank you.

-Jesus, you scared me.

-You hungry?

How could you

leave me like this?

Hey, hey, hey. Play nice,

or l'll leave you there all night.

Where have you been for so long?

Setting up a little surprise

for our new friends.

What now?

-We wait until tomorrow.

-Why?

Because that's

when l meet with my friend.

Can you trust this friend?

l did a big favour for him

a long time ago.

l hope so.

Why did they pick you

to take me back?

Because of my charm

and sensitivity.

-What?

-The Hawk. Bostanescu.

Earlier today,

you asked about the Hawk.

Wait. You call Bostanescu

the Hawk?

-We all call him that.

-Bostanescu is an arms dealer?

l don't know their business.

Yeah, but you were married to

an accountant of a big arms dealer.

You do what you do to survive.

So why did your husband trust you

with the numbers?

Maybe he loved me.

What's it like to kill?

What's it like to pull the trigger?

Are you married?

What, is this

the Spanish lnquisition?

Well, l am trusting you

with my life...

...Mr. Griffith,

despite what you think of me.

And l think it's fair

that l get to ask some questions.

To see what kind of man

l am trusting.

l was married.

Why not now?

lt's not easy being married to someone

who leaves in the middle of the night...

...can't tell you where

or who he's been with all week.

That, l understand.

You should get some sleep.

We got a busy day tomorrow.

Did you ever lose something,

Griffith?

Something you couldn't

live without?

l'm about to, if l don't get back

to New York in the next 36 hours.

Dimitru, l have job for you.

You know what to do.

What is rule number one?

-Don't get caught.

-Number two?
