So then you wrote a thesis

that couldn't be ignored.

The FBI came after you.

They signed you up.

You even started a family.

You started a reaI family!

To make it stick.

You've been a double

your whole life.

You cut the Senator's neck because

you knew you were the expert...

who could convince the Americans

it was Cassius who did it.

An investigation

would flush Cassius out.

My orders are

to kill you...

and return

to Moscow.

My plane

leaves tonight.

Alone?

Then that's all

you'll ever be.

Cassius.

Cassius is

getting away.

Hey, listen to me.

He's wounded.

He's cornered.

He's not gonna talk.

He's not gonna play fair.

He's not gonna

be taken alive.

Right.

Geary!

Come on.

Paul?

F***.

Go home.

You go-

Check Cassius' watch.

Pull the knob.

That's how he did it.

Explains the cut pattern.

Bozlovski's the one

with the slit throat.

I heard a shot.

And when I turned around,

I saw PauI going down.

But not before he'd gotten

Cassius' own wire around his neck.

Cassius shot PauI?

The ballistics

will prove it.

But not before PauI

finally got his man.

That's right.

Well done,

Agent Geary.

You might wanna

check on that ship.

Cassius was here

for a reason.

What's this?

These came off

the boat, sir.

Ben!

Tell me something.

Would you ever consider working for us?

Excuse me, sir?

Think about it.
