Are you Gazal?

I'm close as you get.

Where do you get your information?

What's the combination to this lock?

(Ukrainian)

I will ask the questions.

What's the combination? What is it?

That's just warm-up.

Now we get to business.

How did you know about the weapon?

How did you know about ultrasound

before you were told?

I never had much use

for that knee anyway.

Hm.

No! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you what you wanna know.

(garbled voices)

(woman) Jamil! Where is that boy?

He's got to get his butt inside. Jamil!

Jamil. Jamil. Jamil.

Jamil? The little boy next door?

We've had him watching you

and reporting back to us for months.

You are lying to stay alive.

Who would suspect a little boy?

(door shuts)

Brendan.

Brendan!

Brendan!

(door opens)

Don't move!

Brendan!

Brendan!

Brendan, I've got her! Wake up!

You've got nothing, little girl.

Only answers you are supposed to find.

(crunch)

(sirens)

- Hi.

- Hi. You OK?

- I'm fine.

- You sure?

- What's the update?

- The update is you did a good job.

We found the rifle

along with the Plaza room key.

The suite was directly above the ballroom.

Gazal was going to use the ultrasound

sight to shoot through the floor.

That rifle is a serious piece of weaponry.

Oh, and the Secret Service

is gonna call a rainday

and move the entire event

to their backup location.

- What about Zoya?

- We ran her fingerprints through NClC.

Turns out to be Zoya Kokotovic,

an ex-KGB instructor.

Old school, when they still had

cyanide fillings in their molars.

Do you think... Is there any chance

that Zoya is Gazal?

It's possible. Gazal could be a woman.

Gazal could be... a group of individuals.

But whomever or whatever

or wherever he is,

I think you sent him packing.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing.

Nothing. OK.

It's just Zoya. The last time we saw her,

she said we've still got nothing.

There's something we're missing.

There was an image in her mind,

maybe from the time

we saw her at the holding cell.

What else do you remember about Zoya

the first time we saw her?

- She was about ten feet ahead of us...

- No, no, no. Don't just remember it.

Picture it, and I'll read your mind.

There were... two guards,

each with 9mm Berettas.

Black ceiling with exposed pipes.

Three doors on the right, two on the left.

Double-pin tumbler locks on 'em.

Zoya was walking with a slight limp

on her right side. It was probably her hip.

She stopped for a drink of water.

Then she seemed to stop.

I don't know why. She...

That's it. Where's the rainday location?

Where did they move Farraday?

- Freya, relax.

- It's the courthouse, isn't it?

How'd you know?

The Plaza was a decoy. The Plaza,

Matthews, the gun, the whole thing.

- Gazal's targeting the courthouse.

- The courthouse is the backup location

because it's easier to do

a sweep of everyone inside,

- which the Secret Service has done.

- You're not listening.

- They're not gonna want to do it again.

- He's already inside their security.

Come on. Let's go.

- What is going on?

- Security. They set it up this morning.

All you need to concern yourself with is

letting me do my job in front of the judge.

- I'll see you in the courtroom?

- Yeah.

Damn it! Secret Service

isn't responding to our alert.

They claim no one can know the rainday

location in advance. I'll call the lockup.

(Etsen coughing)

(coughs)

- May I have drink of water?

- There's water in the court.

Etsen... Yeah, he's got

a court appointment right now.

I'll call the liaison officer.

Charlie, this is Barry. Come back.

- Take out your keys and unlock me now.

- Charlie, come back with your 20.

Don't waste your life for that,

or for me.

I just want to escape.

Quick.

Time's a-ticking.

Go ahead.

(silencer)

Charlie!

- (bleep)

- Stop! Hold it right there.

National Security Administration.

I have credentials. I will show you them.

We have a breach in the building.

- That boy is nothing but trouble.

- "Case dismissed" - beautiful words.

That party was killer.

I've gotta call those girls tonight.

They are not going to plead us down.

lf we're gonna win this thing,

we need a character witness fast.

(garbled voices)

- Lars?

- She saw me. Don't turn around.

Brendan, he's over there.

Gazal!

Freeze! Let her go!

- Drop it!

- Everybody back, or she dies!

If she dies, you die.

- No!

- Freya, get out!

I... I want to see my family.

I've just come for a wedding.

That is all.

Too many men. Seven. All 9mms.

Her body will take first shot.

Then go through the door-

no, that won't work.

Freya, I hope you can hear this.

I don't have a clear shot.

Gazal, look at me! I want you to look at me

because I know all about you.

- Don't be fooled. There is no proof.

- Freya, no!

You've already lost, Gazal.

You're just too stupid to realise it.

How did they find me?

The wire transfer?. The Swiss accounts?

- The Swiss accounts have been frozen.

- How? The Schweizer Verband?

- They couldn't.

- The Schweizer Verband, yes.

Tribank too. We took it all.

Oh my God! No.

She's lying. She must be lying.

20 years of blood money.

Your house in Rome,

your view from the balcony - gone.

- Gone?

- You left a trail.

All of your mistakes,

and you made so many of them.

We followed that trail,

and we took it all.

- Impossible! How could she know?

- 20 years. We took it.

- I took it.

- How could she know?

Who are you?

- (June) I love you, Freya.

- I know. I love you too.

- You two all right?

- Yeah.

- Penny for your thoughts.

- Why buy? They're free.

Don't be nervous.

I'll crack him.

I just hope he knows

what we think he knows.

Only one way to find out.

- You seem pretty damn chipper today.

- I had a good time last night.

- Did you go on a date or something?

- No. I'm not ready for that yet.

Fallacy. F-A-L-L-A-C-Y.

- I had dinner with June.

- What'd you say?

Same story - that the NSA

rescued me from Brookridge

when they found out

I could break any code.

- The savant story.

- I don't think she believes me.

That's cos she's smart.

When are you gonna tell her the truth?

- Michael says...

- Screw Michael.

(Terri)

Freya? They're ready for you.

Don't forget to get the coordinates -

latitude, longitude.

I know. I got it.

I'm gonna be outside. You just knock

when all hell breaks loose.

Will do.

You don't know me,

but I know all about you.

I know about your group.

I know about the uranium.

I know what you plan to do with it.

And everything I don't know,

you're about to tell me right now.

So,...

let's start at the beginning.
