Who Is Simon Miller? Page #4

Synopsis: Like most families, the Millers have their challenges. Simon's (Loren Dean) frequent business trips have created some distance between him and the rest of the family, leaving Meredith (Robyn Lively) stretched and struggling to keep things together. Daughter Sarah, an 18-year-old honor student, has recently gotten herself into trouble at school while son Kevin, 15, struggles to engage with anything outside of a video game... But these issues all prove to be trivial when Simon goes missing. Sensing something is not right, the family frantically searches Simon's office for information. Discovery of a stash of passports, all with Simon's picture but each with a different alias, reveals that their father has been keeping more than a few secrets. In a frantic phone call, Simon urges the family not to tell anyone of his disappearance, not even the authorities, right before the line goes dead. Who is Simon Miller? And what exactly has he gotten himself - and now his family - into? Shocked, sca

And you believe that?

Not completely.

Then I find you off the grid

and the target missing.

What am I supposed to think?

Malinkov took his daughter

and went underground

because someone betrayed them,

put their lives in danger.

Why didn't you report that?

Jasmine, there's

a traitor in C.A.D.!

I don't know who,

I don't know where,

but I had to

get off the grid.

That's the only way I can

figure out what's going on.

How do I know

you're not the snitch?

Come on! I have a family.

I have kids. You know me!

Do I?

You've been doing

this job for years.

Anything is possible.

But I'm inclined to

give you just enough rope

to prove yourself.

How much rope is that?

I have to get to my contact's

designated fallback.

Amanda, what are you doing

to find my husband?

I've wanted to meet you.

Though I do regret

these circumstances.

I've wondered about you.

Why?

Most of us

don't have families.

It's too hard, always

putting the job first,

lying to people

that you care about.

And so I wondered about the

woman who made Simon feel

that the struggle

was worth it.

Worth the lying

but not worth the truth?

Not really sure

that's a compliment.

We're not allowed

to tell the truth.

It's a given

in our world.

I'm sorry you had

to find out this way

Or at all.

- I can't decide whether

I'm glad I know or not.

Hmm...

Would there be

any reason for Simon

to take the Malinkovs

back to Chechnya?

No. We don't even want

to contact the Chechens,

much less take

the Malinkovs back.

Why?

I'm just trying to understand

how the game is played.

And how well my

husband plays it.

This was

in dad's suitcase,

but I can't make sense of

anything on it.

You sure it's dad's?

Oh yeah. The password is

"blue beauty".

The house we rented

in nag's head.

Figure he's carrying

that picture around

for a reason, don't you?

He loves us, Sarah.

We're not a prop.

We're his family.

And he can't always

take the time to tell us,

but we matter to him.

Yeah.

I hope you're right.

I hope we get the chance

to make sure.

So, anyway, these are

just basically cryptograms,

but I haven't found

a cipher that works.

Well, you know what

dad would say:
"try harder.

"four steps forward,

Sarah, you just might have

inadvertently stepped into

the realm of

total brilliance.

Four steps forward,

which is a net of 2 steps,

so place every letter

with 2 letters ahead and...

And nothing.

Ok. We can do this.

All right, 4 up, 2 back.

That's it.

Use every 4th letter, then go

and...

Yeah, it's still gibberish.

Wait, no, it's not.

It's french.

He's in Paris.

Ha! Well?

Sarah, you are a genius.

I've got an address.

Let's go tell mom.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

We cracked the code.

If the transfer does

not happen in Geneva,

meet our friend in Paris.

What?

We found dad!

bParis, France/b

You sure this is the place?

It's the address from

the message. Apartment 4.

All right...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

He may have company,

and they may not be friendly.

Everybody ready?

Come here, please.

Thank you.

Get over here.

Ok, ok.

Oh! Ma porte!

What are you doing?

We're so sorry,

we made a mistake.

Uh, there's been

a mistake.

Excusez-moi, madam.

Excusez-moi.

Bunch of vandals!

What happened

back there, hmm?

He made a mistake.

I know, but we just can't

afford any mistakes right now.

We don't want half the Paris

police force chasing us.

Ok, buddy, you're gonna

have to fix this, ok?

Everyone's

counting on you,

including your dad.

What you got?

Let me think.

I decoded the address

as 1241, apartment 4.

But the 2 steps back aspect

of the code could also mean

it breaks 2 digits

from the end.

A 3-digit address with

a 2-digit apartment number.

Exactly.

Which direction?

Let's hope you're right.

This should be it.

All right.

You guys ready?

Uh, maybe I should

handle this one?

Please.

Be my guest.

Let me see...

Um, I hear it's a lot

like a puzzle.

Oh!

Ah!

Good morning.

What's your name?

I don't speak English.

Great. I spent my career

on the russian desk.

I don't speak spanish.

- Neither do I.

I can translate

if you want.

You speak spanish, too?

- Yeah.

Good! Find out

what he knows.

My name's is Sarah.

What's your name?

Andres.

Andres Velasquez.

He's Andres

Velasquez and he says

that we should leave here

because it's dangerous.

We're trying to find

my father.

Your father works with

the government?

Me too.

I work with Jasmine.

We were supposed to

meet here.

I got here early...

someone hit me

and took the USB drive

I had for her.

He works with Jasmine and

they were supposed to meet here

but he got here early and

somebody knocked him out

and stole the thumb drive

that he was bringing her.

Did he see

his assailant?

Um... Did you see your

assailant's face?

Do you know my father,

Simon Miller?

Or Thomas Shaughnessy,

or Fernando Calderon.

Kevin.

I met him.

But I didn't know

he had a family.

He's met dad, but surprise,

didn't know he had a family.

Meredith,

may I speak with you?

I don't want to

worry you any further,

but this Jasmine

that he mentioned,

she works for us.

We suspect her

of being a traitor.

You think Simon

could be with her?

Part of Simon's assignment

was to track her down.

We're concerned

that Jasmine is planning

to trade the Malinkovs to

another party for her own gain.

Even return them

to Chechnya?

That would be

the worst-case scenario.

I think my father and

your friend

are together and

in danger.

What's the last update

from headquarters?

They're required to

check in each hour

when tracking a

missing agent.

And if they don't?

Jasmine believes there

is a traitor in the

organization.

Would a traitor

check in?

He just said

Jasmine's name again.

What is he saying about her?

I don't know. Sounds like

he's asking for coffee.

Do you think there might be

some in the kitchen?

You want coffee?

I got it, Jeffrey.

You want anything?

I don't want any coffee.

I want some answers.

Ask him again.

Hey, genius. Check

thoroughly before coming back

and saying that you

couldn't find any coffee.

Ok.

Ask him again.

Slow down, slow down,

slow down.

Slow...slow down.

What, what?

Tell me.

Tell me what he's saying.

It's ok.

Andres has to

help us find Simon.

We need to

proceed carefully.

Well, as long

as we proceed.

I need to get

to my husband

before he makes

a terrible mistake.

The new target

has arrived.

I'll trail them,

and they should lead

me to Malinkov.

Perfect.

Keep on it.

It' s about time.

When are you going

to deliver them?

He said something about Jasmine.

I wanna know what he said.

What did you say?

Andres, Andres.

Uh, no coffee.

- Sorry.

Sarah.

- Mm-hmm?

I'm gonna hurl.

Ok.

Mom, mom! Kevin's sick

to his stomach.

What?

What happened? Where is he?

He's in

the bathroom.

Oh!

Tell me that's not

your friend.

- No.

I know him. I used him on

a pretty nasty job in Zagreb.

Yeah. I came up against him
