- Young Faraz Hamzad: [Belour, Hamzad and Chase are riding horseback in the dark] And the wise old man said, "Language, by its nature, deceives. Cloaks the truth in darkness.. rather than illuminate it." "Truth," said the wise old man, "lives only in silence."
- Young Dan Chase: When everyone is lying about everything until they aren't saying anything, then it's the truth.
- Young Faraz Hamzad: It's possible you have missed the point.
- Young Dan Chase: Oh, no, I got the point.
- [clears throat]
- Young Dan Chase: You are a little bit full of shit, but in a fun way.
- [Hamzad chuckles]
- Dan Chase: Emily, please tell me you aren't planning to be on that plane with him.
- Angela Adams: I don't think I have a choice.
- Dan Chase: You absolutely have a choice.
- Angela Adams: No, I don't. He's starting to get suspicious about me.
- Dan Chase: Suspicious? Wh... What do you mean? Oh, shit. Em, why didn't you say anything about this before?
- Angela Adams: And if I abandon him now, at this moment, with everything that's at stake, he's going to know that something's off because that's just not something that I would do.
- Dan Chase: Not something who would do?
- [Angela sighs]
- Dan Chase: You? Or Angela?
- Angela Adams: I don't know. I'm starting to forget what the difference is. I think I'm coming apart here, Dad.
- Dan Chase: [Chase and Zoe sit down to supper, Zoe pushes a folded piece of paper across the table to Chase, looks suspiciously at Zoe] What's that?
- Zoe: It's a letter from Marcia Dixon. It's addressed to the... board of Corsair Finance.
- [clears throat]
- Zoe: It gives notice of her intent to enter into divorce proceedings against her husband.
- Dan Chase: What are you doing?
- Zoe: It doesn't sound like you've ever been through a divorce before.
- [chuckles softly]
- Zoe: I learned a lot from mine. I kept thinking that if I understood the rules better, I could protect myself. Turns out that's not what the rules are for.
- [Chase shifts uncomfortably in his chair]
- Zoe: But I think Marcia has a little bit more leverage than I did. If I understand the situation, this letter would cause a real mess at your company. Audits, discovery. The fear of what I might ask for in a divorce. The fear of what I might get. So you'd just kind of be "that guy"
- [chuckles]
- Zoe: to them for a while. The guy they keep at arm's length unless they want to end up in depositions, so... it would make it almost impossible for you to accomplish anything there...
- [interrupted]
- Dan Chase: What the fuck are you doing?
- [high-pitched]
- Zoe: I didn't send it yet. I set it to send in two hours, but I can log in and stop it.
- [inhales deeply]
- Zoe: Maybe you're right, and I would be dead if I hadn't come with you. Or maybe you're wrong, and this is nothing more than a kidnapping. Maybe it's both. Either way, I'm here. And from here, I see two ways forward. One...
- [exhales]
- Zoe: I stay. And I help you through this. Chase chuckles
- [contemptuously]
- Zoe: You're gonna help me?
- Zoe: Yeah, I am. I think you need it. Once upon a time, I looked into the mirror and I didn't know who I was. I think you know what I felt. I think you can't remember what life felt like before that feeling. And I believe your daughter. I believe the guy she talked about is in there somewhere, and I would like to help him. I never had anybody help me when I was going through my experience, and it nearly killed me, and that was w... without having to do it while running for my life.
- Dan Chase: Zoe... Zoe, listen to me, I'm gonna be fine. This whole thing is traumatizing...
- [interrupted]
- Zoe: But... but if I do that for you, then you need to acknowledge that we're in this together. You need to make a gesture to prove it.
- Dan Chase: [pleasantly] What kind of gesture do you have in mind?
- Zoe: Half of everything you own. Transferred to my name. Before 10:17, or the email goes out.
- Dan Chase: [shocked, forced grin creases his face] What's two?
- Zoe: Two? Well, two is that you give me a reasonable amount of money for the train wreck that you've turned my life into, and I stay silent in this apartment until it's safe for me to leave...
- [interrupted]
- Dan Chase: Wh... Whoa.
- Zoe: ...and then I will.
- Dan Chase: Theft. fucking extortion? What's this gonna cost me, huh?
- Zoe: Half of everything you own.
- Dan Chase: So it's not about money until you choose...
- Zoe: No, no...
- Dan Chase: ...to make it about money.
- Zoe: ...I said that money is not just money. What it always is is a measure of discomfort. H... How badly do I want this? How badly do I want to avoid that? How much power do I have to make it so? In this moment, I want to amount to more than just a complication in your story. I want to know that the next time we disagree, I have the resources to make you think twice before threatening me or throwing me in the trunk of a car or looking at me the wrong way to shut me up. I want to be accounted for. I have the resources to make it so, so you will account for me.
- Dan Chase: [rises from his seat menacingly knocking plates and flatware]
- [controlled]
- Dan Chase: Do you have any idea the danger that you're putting yourself in? The danger that you're putting me in? My kid?
- Zoe: You will account for me.
- [Chase steps back, Zoe remains seated]
- [Chase delivers Russian commander, Suleyman Pavlovich, to the village, people shouting in Dari drag a hooded Pavlovich off his horse]
- Abbey Chase: [Abbey's voice heard only by Chase] You thought this would be a gift to him. A bird left on our doorstep to prove your loyalty to him. Or maybe to demonstrate something else to me. Until this moment... he was so full of promise. After it, what a monster he will become. So monstrous, you and I will become monsters ourselves in order to escape him.
- Young Dan Chase: That won't happen. I don't have that in me.
- Abbey Chase: If I ever loved you, that was why. I believed you actually believe that. Suleyman Pavlovich. The beginning of the end. Don't blame yourself. The world is full of monsters. Sooner or later, we all take our turn.
- Mike: I didn't say that.
- Julian Carson: I'm not careful, then?
- Mike: You're not the one I'm worried about not being careful.
- Julian Carson: What are you trying to say?
- Mike: I'm saying either Morgan Bote knew he was sending us into a fucked-up situation when he gave the guy your phone number... or he didn't know. I'm not sure which one is worse. We need to know.
- Harold Harper: [cut to Harper walking through people on the sidewalk, cell phone buzzes] Hello?
- Julian Carson: I'm calling to conclude our conversation.
- Harold Harper: Yeah. So, what's customary in a situation like this, where the work was... unfinished?
- Julian Carson: Twenty percent.
- Harold Harper: That's fine. I'll see to it, but this concludes our conversation, yes?
- Julian Carson: I'd like to speak about why the work was unfinished.
- Harold Harper: All right.
- Julian Carson: When I do a job, I plan for everything. But I can't plan for what I'm not told.
- Harold Harper: You think I withheld something from you?
- Julian Carson: The target was on his way out the door.
- Harold Harper: What do you mean, on his way out...
- Julian Carson: Packed. Ready to depart. Alert. Did he know I was coming?
- Harold Harper: [bewildered] No, he... he couldn't have.
- Julian Carson: Did he know the police were coming soon behind me? Because either he's the luckiest man in the world, or someone on your end tipped him off that something was coming. I think you have a mole in your operation. I need to understand how you didn't know. Do you have any idea who your mole might be?
- [Harper silently lowers phone]
- Angela Adams: Jaden? Or Caden, maybe?
- Harold Harper: Brayden. His father is the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, but that's... neither here nor there. What happened? Was it bad?
- Angela Adams: Apparently, Brayden, uh, took issue with Henry's presentation to the class. He came up to him afterwards and said...... that you were not a credible hero.
- [Harper sighs]
- Angela Adams: He said that the police are just regular people. That a lot of them do bad things, and they get away with it, and that Henry should be more sensible in choosing who he looks up to.
- Harold Harper: Oh. Great. Who did Brayden choose as his hero?
- Angela Adams: Spider-Man.
- Harold Harper: [chuckles] Oh, Jesus.
- Dan Chase: [enters the car] I got you some stuff. Toothbrush, comb... Thought you might need some clothes. I just guessed on those. I'm Henry Dixon. Henry Dixon, he was an early investor in an investment fund called Corsair Finance, which has done quite well over the years. You...
- [shows passport]
- Dan Chase: you're Marcia Dixon. Henry's wife. We can change the picture once we get there. The signature, that's what's important. I want you to learn it.
- [sighs]
- Dan Chase: And once you get it down, I'm gonna transfer some money to you using this name. I'm going to compensate you. Compensate you and then some. A half a million dollars.
- [Zoe ignores Chase]
- Dan Chase: Zoe?
- [Zoe grabs Marcia Dixon's passport and looks away again]
- Angela Adams: When me and Lily were still together, she used to say that I was half his aunt, half big sister, and half therapist. Lily wasn't very good at math.
- Dan Chase: [on the phone with Emily] This isn't some kind of mystery, Em. The truth is, at one point in his life, Faraz Hamzad thought Mom belonged to him. He's got a grudge with me for helping her do something about that. Everything else is a distraction.
- Harold Harper: Do you have kids, Ray?
- Raymond Waters: No. No, I do not.
- Harold Harper: One day, if you do, when the time comes for them to break your heart, remember I told you this. The moment you let them in... you were asking for it.
- Angela Adams: You've got a good argument to make. You can help them get what they want. Once they understand how much you know about Chase and his wife, they're gonna see that they need you.
- [Harper looks up studying Adams]
- Angela Adams: What?
- Harold Harper: The wife... why are you so interested in her?
- Angela Adams: What do you mean?
- Harold Harper: When I talked about this with Waters, y... you had a reaction. Now she's on your mind again. Is there something I'm missing?
- Angela Adams: There were three people involved when this whole thing started. You know, we keep talking about the first two, but this woman might be the *invisible man* in all this. Just seems like it might be worth keeping an eye on her until we figure out what we're missing.
- [protracted pause]
- Angela Adams: Is there anything you knew about her that might be a piece of an answer here?
- Harold Harper: I don't know. I didn't know very much about her. I was just aware of her. Aware of the gravity she exerted on objects around her. What she made men do. You know, it's late. It's gonna be a rough day tomorrow. We should get some sleep. Do you mind setting the alarm on your way out?
- Angela Adams: Sure thing.
- Harold Harper: Good night, kiddo.
- Angela Adams: Night.
- Dan Chase: I'd like you to call your son. The FBI is gonna knock on his door. They're gonna ask him some questions. He's gonna do fine, but he's... you know, he's gonna be concerned. Now is the best time to, oh, set the record straight. This'll be the last time you make a call on your phone, to keep from tracking us, but at least, you know, he'll know it's you calling.
- [grunts]
- Dan Chase: When... you know, just tell him the truth. That you're unhurt, and you're being held against your will, but you're safe and that you'll contact him again soon. Yeah. You use those words, that'll prevent you from being considered an accessory to anything.
- Joe: [over the phone] Local PDs, negative. Regional offices, negative. Digital teams, that's interagency, that's across the board, negative. It's been hours since law enforcement had any signal on his whereabouts. Dan Chase is gone.
- Harold Harper: And the woman... McDonald?
- Joe: No sign of her, either. We made contact with her son. She called him, but they didn't speak. That was three days ago as wel. We'll keep our ears open, but, um...
- Harold Harper: Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Joe.
- Joe: Yeah.
- Zoe: [sitting at the bar, Dave, panting, saunters in, looks at Zoe and whines] What?
- Zoe: [Dave barks] What? What do you want from me?
- Zoe: [Dave, drooling, looks at the kitchen]
- [epiphanic flash]
- Zoe: Oh. Shit.
- [chuckles softly]
- Zoe: Sorry.
- Zoe: [fills both bowls with food] Why am I apologizing to you? I was kidnapped, and now I am apologizing to you for not doing a better job of seeing to your needs... out loud.
- Zoe: [spots wine] *Fuck this.*
- Angela Adams: [Waters loudly crunching almonds, looks over her shoulder at Waters, who slurps his drink] Do you know what misophonia is?
- Raymond Waters: Huh?
- Angela Adams: Misophonia. M-I-S-O-P-H-O-N-I-A. Look it up.
- Raymond Waters: In which... In which certain sounds trigger an emotional and a physiological response such as anger, panic or mania. Common sounds include...
- Angela Adams: Yep.
- Raymond Waters: So right now, you're...
- Angela Adams: Yeah.
- Raymond Waters: Anger or...
- Angela Adams: That's the one.
- [Waters slurps his drink]
