That's an intelligence coup for me, 00:09:03.083 --> 00:09:06.916 which makes keeping you alive worth the risk. 00:09:07.625 --> 00:09:10.333 Unless you've already gone and told the lawyer too much. 00:09:10.916 --> 00:09:12.416 No. 00:09:12.833 --> 00:09:15.625 Don't lie, Max.

Actually, first... 00:14:47.670 --> 00:14:50.833 How well do you know Senator Smoot? 00:14:51.750 --> 00:14:54.234 Well enough to know he is not the * 00:14:54.235 --> 00:14:56.416 who gave your asset my CIA nickname. 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.833 Okay. He sent me a subpoena, mostly to get at my boss. 00:15:00.916 --> 00:15:03.116 But it's gonna jam me up, so I'd like for it to go away. 00:15:03.166 --> 00:15:04.166 Permanently. 00:15:04.583 --> 00:15:06.958 And for him to leave the OGC alone for a while. 00:15:08.208 --> 00:15:10.166 Leverage is nice, isn't it? 00:15:10.750 --> 00:15:12.250 Yeah. 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.958 So can you make him stand down? 00:15:15.041 --> 00:15:17.166 Yeah.

You trust the source? 00:15:30.125 --> 00:15:34.000 - The source is the former asset. - Which means you don't trust her. 00:15:34.083 --> 00:15:35.916 Except this makes sense. 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.333 I went to Vienna to speak to Xander about the asset, 00:15:38.416 --> 00:15:39.625 and the next thing I know, 00:15:39.708 --> 00:15:42.125 someone tries to kill me on the way to the airport. 00:15:43.166 --> 00:15:44.666 Interesting. 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.791 Sounds like Goi has a lot more to hide than my CIA nickname. 00:15:50.625 --> 00:15:52.125 Okay, I'll handle it. 00:15:54.458 --> 00:15:56.583 Sir, when you... Forgive me. 00:15:56.666 --> 00:15:59.500 When you say "handle it," you mean you'll call and yell at him, 00:15:59.583 --> 00:16:02.458 or are you gonna poison needle jam him on a pastry run? 00:16:05.708 --> 00:16:08.833 Things seem hectic over at the OGC lately. 00:16:09.791 --> 00:16:11.791 Could be good for me to have a clear picture 00:16:11.875 --> 00:16:14.125 of potential problems that might land on my desk. 00:16:16.708 --> 00:16:19.791 - Is that...? Are you asking me...? - You've proven yourself useful. 00:16:19.875 --> 00:16:22.125 I'm asking if you'd like to continue. 00:16:25.625 --> 00:16:27.875 Well, I appreciate that, sir. 00:16:29.416 --> 00:16:32.173 But I have too much respect for Mr. Nyland 00:16:32.174 --> 00:16:34.208 to do anything behind his back. 00:16:40.041 --> 00:16:41.708 Good.

I lie for a living. 00:17:15.583 --> 00:17:17.404 There's literally a sensor on the chair 00:17:17.405 --> 00:17:19.626 to measure your sphincter response. 00:17:19.708 --> 00:17:20.708 My what? 00:17:21.166 --> 00:17:23.000 Your * pucker. 00:17:25.708 --> 00:17:28.416 If we're trying to slip Max in as a brand new asset, 00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:32.041 don't we all have to be on the same page about her recruitment backstory? 00:17:32.125 --> 00:17:35.625 Yes, we'll say her name came up in intelligence gathering, 00:17:35.708 --> 00:17:38.500 we did a little digging and discovered that she was in prison. 00:17:38.583 --> 00:17:41.791 - We got her out in exchange for... - No, we didn't get her out. 00:17:41.875 --> 00:17:44.041 When her case was thrown out, 00:17:44.125 --> 00:17:47.541 it created an opportunity for Operations to recruit her. 00:17:49.750 --> 00:17:54.000 What? Wha... Who brings a kid to the CIA? 00:17:54.083 --> 00:17:57.625 Someone doesn't check his e-mails. It's Family Day. 00:17:58.833 --> 00:18:00.771 The perfect day to vet Max because 00:18:00.772 --> 00:18:03.166 they've scrubbed the office for civilians. 00:18:08.791 --> 00:18:11.583 - I thought it would be nicer. - Ha. Yeah. 00:18:11.666 --> 00:18:15.000 When I showed up, I thought it'd be Mission: Impossible, high-tech shit. 00:18:15.791 --> 00:18:19.500 All I got was a 20-year-old computer and a shredder from the Cold War. 00:18:37.625 --> 00:18:40.375 - You got any friends up there? - No. 00:18:40.875 --> 00:18:42.708 A lot's changed since you've been gone. 00:18:42.791 --> 00:18:45.916 Turns out being a Russian mobster has a high degree of getting you killed. 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.250 Top row is management, right? 00:18:48.333 --> 00:18:51.333 Council.

The only reason you'd try to pawn this off on us 00:21:15.041 --> 00:21:17.625 is if it was a shit show you were trying to get away from. 00:21:17.708 --> 00:21:19.208 That's not true. 00:21:19.708 --> 00:21:21.208 Hard pass.
