to where Bozlovski is.

What's your name?

Leo.

Leo. Leo, give me

your phone.

Give me your phone.

There you go.

Now, Leo, you didn't call anyone and

tell them we were coming, did you?

No. No, no.

No, I swear.

Now, if anything goes wrong, Leo,

I'm putting two bullets in her head...

and I'm dumping her in the

river. Then I'm coming for you.

Okay.

You're gonna shoot her in the head?

Just making

a connection.

Okay. This is

the place.

Okay, Bozlovski,

he's in there.

No, no, no.

No, no, come on.

Leo! Hey.

How many

girls you got?

Come on, tell me.

Five? Ten?

Fifteen?

Talk to me. Huh?

Two.

What?

Two.

All right.

You get me

to Bozlovski...

you keep

your business...

and we never met.

All right?

You. Call for backup, or whatever

they told you to do at Quantico.

You stay there by the

door. You don't leave.

Go.

He comes, too?

No, no, he stays at the door. Go on.

Perfect. Because I was first

in my class in door watching.

I hear you've been

asking questions about me.

You know my name.

Johann.

Coming in through

Mexico, smart. Very smart.

How do you know this?

What agency are you with?

They say you

killed a Senator.

They think

you're Cassius.

Uh-oh.

What do you think?

You think I'm stupid enough to

call ahead from my own phone?

You think I give a damn

what happens to some whore?

Yes. I've played

Cassius before.

If they want me to be

Cassius, I become Cassius.

But you're not him.

Really?

How can you

be so sure?

Because I'm Cassius.

You were here?

Yes, sir.

And I ran

immediately upstairs.

Hey. Ollie. Come on. You did the

work on the Moussali capture, right?

Applied some like theoreticaI

geography to his whereabouts?

Yeah, that's right.

Tracking a fugitive...

is essentially the same thing as

tracking an endangered species.

You rule out the places

they can't or won't go...

untiI you have a reasonably

few places to look.

You want in on this thing? Come on.

So, what is it

I'm looking for?

Late in Cassius' career, his murders

were no longer just pro-Soviet.

He was killing

Russians, too.

And also English, Polish,

Czech, you name it.

When was this?

Around 1988.

It never made

any sense.

I think I missed

something here.

Why do you think

you missed something?

You have some

new information?

PauI Shepherdson.

Yeah?

What?

He's been at the company

for like 25 years!

Yeah, I know, man. That's

why I need you on this. Okay?

I've been over this sh*t

like a thousand times...

to the point at which I always

see the exact same thing.

Find something different.

Okay. Yeah, sure. I-

But if you're right, I mean,

that means the entire time...

he's been

hunting himself?

So, he killed

the Senator?

If we're right

about this, yeah.

Agent Geary.

I've got a question

about a file here.

It's blue and it's got a

note attached that says...

"Too many questions.

Not Cassius. "

Uh, No. That one's a hoax.

It's like a crude

copycat murder.

Okay, cooI.

I'll exclude it.

I'm gonna run for

coffee. Want something?

Oh, no. I'm fine, thank you.

Ooh.

Jesus!

PauI! Hi!

Thank you!

You need

to be carefuI.

Yeah.

Oh, let me-

Stay up there.

Okay.

I want you to tell your

husband to ask off this case.

Have him say that it's just too

much for him, for his family.

What-whatever he has to

say, just get him out.

PauI, what do you

expect me to do?

You know, I told you. I

can't watch over him anymore.

He's getting very close

to a dangerous man.

He won't

listen to me.

He won't listen to

anything I have to say, so-

He's gonna

die, Natalie!

What?

Do you hear me now?

Cassius has

taken out men...

much more

experienced than Ben.

He doesn't give a damn

about you, about your family.

He will kill

your husband.

Like snapping

his fingers.

And he will

feeI nothing.

I pieced together the photos of every

murder and I laid them out chronologically.

Oh, that red line

right there indicates...

where his killing became

erratic and inexplicable.

So, all you've gotta do is set up a

null hypothesis and try and prove it.

And when you can't prove it, that means

your originaI hypothesis must be true.

Wait, wait.

Take some fact.

You said you believe Cassius

returns to the scene of the crimes.

And you've got photos

of every murder.

So set up a hypothesis of, say,

Stephen Hawking is Cassius...

which gives you a null hypothesis

of Stephen Hawking is not Cassius.

So, go through the photos

and try and prove the null...

that Rolling Thunder

is not Cassius.

If you can, that means your hypothesis

is incorrect. If you can't...

then depending on

your "P" value of course...

you've statistically proven

your hypothesis must be true.

Or that Stephen Hawking is Cassius.

Yeah.

Some of us didn't sleep our way

through Logic and Stats at Harvard.

Damn, this coffee

really works.

I'll be right back.

Jesus Christ.

Hey.

Hey. Come here,

big guy.

He misses his daddy.

Yeah?

Sweetie, what is it?

No, just, you know how much

I care about you guys, right?

Oh, God.

Yeah. I do.

Ben?

I just-

I- I just came home to tell you

I've got to pull an all-nighter.

It's all gonna

be over soon.

Yeah.

Ben.

Yeah?

You know,

PauI told me-

PauI? When were you talking to PauI?

Well, he came by the store today and

he told me how dangerous this all is.

Honey. Don't listen to a

word that that guy says, okay?

He's just an old man who thinks

that the war is still cold.

Trust me. This is all

gonna be over soon.

You promise?

Yeah. But I-I

gotta go.

Natalie?

It's- Never mind.

I dug deeper into Bozlovski's

life like you asked.

The guy's nothing but a killing

machine. Anywhere. Anytime.

He's used every single

weapon you can think of...

from an M-24 from 800

meters to a rusty naiI.

Where was he

June 1988?

We had him flying into Geneva

as an Irishman named Ted O'Leary.

He was there

for four days.

Where are you?

Holy sh*t.

Bozlovski?

Hm.

Oh, my God.

Bozlovski killed

your family.

So, all this time...

you were looking

for revenge.

Agent Geary.

Where are you?

You got my message

on your windshield.

I know the truth.

You've been looking for Cassius

a long time, haven't you?

Yeah. And now

I've found him.

It would seem so.

Where is

PauI Shepherdson?

Hey! You wanna keep your

business your business?

Or do you want every Fed in the

District down here up your ass?

So, goddammit,

Where is he?

Good to go.

All right,

open it up!

What happened?

Open the gate! Open

the goddamn gate! Now!

Come on!

How did I

miss it, PauI?

How did I miss it?

The entire time, Cassius

was right next to me!

Put the gun

down, Geary!

What? I'm supposed

to trust you now?

Yeah. Let's talk

about trust.

Five down!

Cassius.

Seventy across.

Yepatb!

Eliminated.

Thirty-two down.

Bolxoh.

Exit.

This is 30-year-old

Soviet code.

So, how old were you when-when

your family came over here?

What were you,

about ten? Ten?

You never had

a choice, did you?
