The Agency

Valhalla smuggles diamonds onto the world market

through a wholesale dealer based

in the diamond quarter of Antwerp.

Somewhere in this chain, we find a weakness

or recruit an asset who puts us next to Viking.

Nils Jansen, junior exec at Frederik Samuels.

The guy's perfect.

- No one can help me. - I have a plan.

I'm sure you figured out that right now,

I'm the only friend you've got.

- Where are you taking me? - You're safe.

Part of me thought we could run away together.

If you came with me, we'd never be safe again.

I have to go to Bahrain.

Energy conference. Come with me.

Mr. Zamani?

We want to hire you as a consultant.

My answer is no.

He's working

for someone else.

I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish.

Pull up Martian's phone

the day we got Coyote back.

That's James Richardson from SIS.

Why here? Why the cloak and dagger?

You can never be too careful.

Please, have a seat.

And why is a spy agency making this approach

rather than a trade delegation?

It's true. I'm CIA.

And we acknowledge the unhappy history

of the agency's involvement in the region.

But, gentlemen, America's your friend.

Now, it's no secret

that China has stopped exporting cobalt and tantalum

to the United States-- minerals that we desperately need

for our batteries, our phones and our weapons systems.

So you need us.

Do we need you?

We are aware that you're currently negotiating

with Russia and India.

You are no longer the only game in town.

For the first time, we might get a decent deal

from the most powerful country on Earth.

I would love to show you what you're going to get.

What are you--

I understand.

All the embassies

in sub-Saharan Africa are going batshit.

Yeah, secretary of state

and department of trade both think we did it.

Why would we do that? Why would--

I mean, why would anyone order one of our agents

to kill elected officials? For what?

I contacted our field office. They're as blindsided as we are.

Are we sure we didn't do it?

Yes, we're sure. Come on.

If anything, we've been

cozying up, trying to secure rare earth metals.

So this is a false flag attack.

Someone's making sure no one deals with us.

Well, can we deny it-- I mean, as it actually wasn't us?

Just makes you look more guilty.

That's the beauty of a false flag.

Don't think of an elephant.

Embassy says they have evidence the shooter was CIA.

What evidence?

Uh... Oh.

Our field office has it.

This is security CCTV from the site

minutes after the attack.

It's Viking.

Shit.

This fucker thinks he can maim us,

impersonate us and then whistle about it.

Whatever it takes.

- You understand? - Oh, I understand, sir.

This is survivable.

Man, those Swiss can make a watch.

This case is almost intact.

So's your target. More explosive.

That's the most I could fit into something this small.

Use different explosive.

Or direct it, maybe?

Center mass, towards the organs of the chest.

Hey, your diamond guy just booked

a cosmetic treatment session at a clinic.

"Deluxe aesthetic package."

My guess-- Botox, fillers, a peel?

What, this guy?

He doesn't look the type.

Gambling, drugs, prostitutes, facelifts.

He's a soul in torment.

Wish I was a soul in torment.

You are. Just on a government salary.

Fuck.

Jesus.

You scared me, Henry.

What are you doing here?

I go where I'm needed.

What, just like that-- come to Bahrain?

If we have problems in Bahrain, I'm in Bahrain.

Hassan'll be back any minute. I don't know where he went.

He's having a massage downstairs. Just started.

Okay. I'm ready.

In Tehran, did you see any Chinese nationals near him?

No. Just here.

The Chinese delegate met with a Western woman,

30s, brown hair, room 6417.

I accessed her room and cloned her laptop.

It was hidden.

She had a decoy on the desk.

So she's trained. A pro.

I even recorded her voice.

We rode the elevator together.

You've done well, Danny.

Done?

Is my mission over? Is that why you're here?

Ideally, you go back to Tehran.

Your mission isn't over, it's changed.

From recruitment to counterintel.

You are now close to a known Chinese asset.

We need to know where he goes, what he does, who he sees.

I can do that.

Before you agree,

you should understand how much more dangerous this is.

Last week, if you were blown,

it was just the Iranians.

Now, if you're blown, Hassan himself,

the Chinese or the Iranians may kill you.

So this is a choice.

You can pull the rip cord right now, come with me,

be back in London in six hours.

Send me back to Tehran, sir.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Dr. Blake.

Hello, Owen.

Let's talk.

Look, there's only one person

to actually blame for this, and it's me.

I wanted to be a field agent.

I fought and I begged to do it.

So, I don't know-- what--

the-the main emotion that I'm feeling?

Shame.

This trauma isn't a judgment

on yourself or who you are.

It's not?

You sure about that, Doc?

I mean, I wanted to show everyone how big I was,

and I've come back literally less.

That's not true.

You came back wounded.

You could heal.

But who you are-- that's the same.

Right. Maybe that's the problem.

Same old Owen.

When you think about returning to the office,

how does that make you feel?

But look at me

and hear me when I say this.

I have never wanted to do this job more.

"Welcome to Vestra,

Antwerp's flagship

luxury lifestyle aesthetics clinic.

Offering innovative, next-step surgical

and non-surgical treatments.

Your ideals are our ideals."

And your wallet is our wallet.

If you were rich enough, would you?

Oh, who's to say I haven't?

Target's arrived.

What's that accent?

Um... British?

Canadian. I came over

with Dr. Vincent, who you're seeing today.

Want a piece of advice?

You'll get a discount on treatments.

Got to be tempting, right?

But listen, you don't need a thing.

You're perfect just the way you are.

Thank you so much, Mr. Jansen.

If you'd like to come this way.

Of course.

Hey,

did you read my file?

I lodged a complaint about my last treatment.

Normally, it lasts months,

but this time, it was just a few weeks?
