Come on.
Spread out, check the exits.
Damn.
Hey, you've got ten seconds to tell me where he is
before I flip your off switch.
Go to hell.
Time's up.
You are a hard man to find, Elijah.
Go ahead, get it over with.
I will.
But not before you tell me what I want to know.
No, that's great, aunt vi.
No, no.
Thank you for taking Dee on your artist retreat.
It'll be good for her to get
college off of her mind for a bit.
Auntie, I got to call you back.
Hello?
40-dot-70-46-11.
73-dot-99-12-95.
Who is this? Hello?
Call came from a burner.
It's already been disconnected.
You were right, the numbers were coordinates
to a park in dumbo.
It doesn't make sense.
The only person who had that number was bishop.
If bishop gave this number to somebody,
he must have trusted them.
Yeah, or it's a trap.
That's what I'm going to find out.
I'm here, but nothing so far.
You're in the right location.
Con permiso.
Don't turn around.
Just walk.
I just want to talk.
You can start with why you lured me here.
Start talking.
Enough! Enough.
Who are you?
My name is Samantha Reed.
And how'd you get the number to that sat phone,
Samantha Reed?
From my father.
He got the number from a man named bishop.
He told me if I got into trouble, I should contact you.
If that's true,
then he would have also gotten a code word.
He did. Delilah.
Okay.
Who's your father?
His name is Elijah Reed.
Your father is Elijah Reed?
My adopted father, yes.
He's an agency legend, disappeared years ago.
He did.
We've been on the run from the CIA ever since.
For the record, I'm not CIA anymore.
So, what happened?
He came here on a business trip,
something he said would change our lives,
but when he didn't check in with me last night,
he always checks in...
You got worried and came to New York.
His hotel security tapes show him
dropping his bags and exiting dressed like an elderly man,
but when he never returned,
I knew something was wrong,
so I contacted you, as he instructed.
All right, let me see what I can do.
I have some friends that may be able to help.
I put out some feelers.
If the CIA does have your father,
I should be able to find out.
I know it's them.
They've been chasing him my whole life.
Why?
To silence him.
He was in the Dominican Republic
when a CIA bombing killed a lot of innocent people,
including my birth parents.
My dad was disenchanted with the job.
When he found me in the rubble,
terrified and starving,
that was the last straw. So he quit.
Same reason I left the agency.
But you don't just walk away from the CIA.
He knew too much.
So he took you and disappeared.
Where are you taking me?
To meet those friends I told you about.
Still don't trust me?
I don't trust anybody.
Being on the run your whole life will do that.
Sounds intense.
That's why your father trained you
to fight like that?
In case they caught up to you.
Yep, but he made it fun.
Instead of bikinis, my Barbies wore camo fatigues.
And we'd play
"assess the threat" with my Ken doll.
Talk about a girl dad.
Not the worst thing, having Eli Reed for a father.
I mean, except for the "being on the run" part.
Wasn't always bad.
We did settle down for a few years in Atlanta.
I loved it there.
The people, the community.
I taught kids jiujitsu at the local gym.
I thought maybe we'd finally found a home.
Why'd you leave?
Long story.
Harry, you're on speaker.
I'm monitoring police scanners. Yesterday, someone
reported an elderly man
being chased into a warehouse in green point.
Looks like bodies were dragged off.
One hell of a fight went down here.
No.
Sam, what is that?
A message.
From my father.
That's it.
There you go.
Always move your head.
Before you bite their ear off.
All right, serious talk.
I'm gonna show you something.
I want you to memorize this symbol.
Okay.
What is this?
It's the germanic symbol for defense.
If I leave this for you,
it means I can no longer protect you,
and you need to run as fast and as far away as you can.
Understand? What?
No, no, I would never leave you.
Samantha, listen to me.
If you see this, it means I'm probably dead
and you could be next.
I can't let that happen.
I need you to promise me.
Okay.
I promise.
Come here.
It's all right.
I love you. I love you.
This is all my fault.
All these years of training,
and when he needed me, I wasn't there.
I'm going to make this right. I'm gonna find him.
Hold on.
Your father wanted you to sit this out.
Let me look into it. Negative.
The agency already killed my birth parents.
There's no way I'm going to sit on the sidelines
and let them take my father, too.
It's my agency contact.
They don't have your father.
They stopped looking for him years ago.
Of course they'd say that.
I've known this person a long time.
They don't have a reason to lie.
Let's say that's true, the CIA didn't take him.
Then who did?
Okay, okay.
Okay. Okay.
- You ready to talk? - Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a question.
Did you pack a lunch today?
Because we're gonna be here a while.
You're a little winded, but come on,
your break's over. Let's go.
Show me what you got.
And this time, put your back into it.
Sam, these are my friends.
This is Mel and this is Harry.
Hey, nice to meet you in person.
I'm sorry about your father.
We're going to help you find him.
But you don't even know me.
We know you walked in the door with Rob.
That's good enough for us.
Rob, I've got
- a couple things to show you. - Okay,
I'm sure Mel can keep Sam busy up here.
So, I ran facial rec on Eli
and this is what I found.
Looks like they stopped a robbery.
Whole thing went viral.
Give me the cash.
Happened a year ago in Atlanta.
So that's why Sam and Eli
had to leave, they got exposed.
Yeah, and that's not all.
I used fisk's backdoor into the CIA server
to dig up a little on Eli.
Parents deceased, grew up in an orphanage,
recruited right out of high school
for testing 152 on his IQ.
Broke nearly every single record at the farm.
For his first mission,
he single-handedly took down
a Hezbollah terrorist cell. I mean, the guy's like
a real-life Jason bourne, you know?
Except without the memory thing.
Well, any more about
what happened at the warehouse?
I was getting to that.
So, this is 2:00 P.M. yesterday.
There's no coverage inside the warehouse,
but these guys here, they never come out.
Now, this guy,
he's got better luck than the others.
They wanted him alive.
Why?
No plates.
Maybe facial rec will give us something.
That's pretty cool.
Sorry, nervous habit.
No, it's great, just don't show Harry.
He'll go down a rabbit hole trying to learn it.
It's actually pretty easy.
Take a coin and... Okay,
now you're just showing off.
Yeah, I'd practice that for hours
waiting for my father to come home.
He teach you that? Taught myself.
Inspired by one of his favorite movies, actually.
We had picked up and moved again from Indiana.
Or was it Utah?
I can't remember anymore.
Point is, I had just left all my friends behind.
Again.
I was miserable.
It won't always be like this.
One day we'll be able to stop running.
You promise? I promise.
In the meantime, maybe this will help.
Open it up.
Wow.
The illusionist. It blew my mind.
Every week, he brought me a new DVD,
and we'd watch each one together, over and over.
It was our thing.
Hey, don't worry.
We're going to find him.
It's what we do.
I don't know, I'm sorry, Rob. There's just
not enough detail for facial rec.
There was a car there earlier.
Now it's gone.
Go to the beginning.
There, parked up the block.
Looks like he's crossing to it,
then he veered into a warehouse
when he realized he was being followed.
Running the plates.
Benjamin sand ridge.
What do we know about him?
Recently retired after a long career
working for the U.S. state department, which means...
CIA.
Possibly an old contact of Eli's.
The person he was coming to NY to visit? If that's the case,
this guy could help us fill in a lot of blanks.
Looks like he opened up a pizza shop
in williamsburg.
Send me the address.
And see what else you can find out
about Eli Reed's CIA missions.
If someone's been chasing him all these years...
He must've really done something to piss them off.
Hey, why don't you save us both
a ton of trouble, cut these restraints?
Now, why would I do that?
Because if you don't, I'll have to kill you,
and I'd really prefer not to.
You got jokes.
So, where are you from, son? Midwest?
Southern Ohio.
The twang.
Ohio's got a knack
for turning one-syllable words into two.
But what I want to know is
do you have daddy issues?
I mean, at least you had a father.
I never knew my father.
But considering what happened to you,
I guess I'm lucky.
That what drove you to the military?
Wanted to prove you were tough,
joined the marines?
I mean, only a jarhead wears that buzz cut
as a badge of honor.
Signal to the world not to mess with you.
Like daddy did?
That tough enough for you?
Perfect.
Warned you.
Enough!
You're a fool not to kill me, Alfonso.
Benjamin sand ridge.
We think this is who your father came to meet.
Do you recognize him?
Sorry.
My dad was so paranoid about being recognized.
I don't think anyone knew where we were.
By the way, I know why you left Atlanta.
I saw the video.
You did?
Yeah.
My dad freaked out when that happened.
Go bag only. Nothing else matters.
Sam, what are you doing?
Sam, let's move.
No. I'm not going.
Not this time.
Sam, we have no choice.
It won't always be like this, I promise.
You've been saying that my whole life.
But it never changes.
What about my kids at the gym?
This is our home, dad.
If the wrong people see that video,
they will not hesitate to use you to get to me.
Let's go.
Sam, whatever it is, we can get another one.
No, we can't.
Now we can go.
It was on an anklet I was wearing when my father found me.
Do you remember your mother? No.
I was only two when they died.
I don't know anything about her.
Not even what she looked like.
I always wondered what it felt like, you know?
To have a mom.
Seems like your father
did a pretty good job filling in.
This is the place?
Yeah, but it looks like someone beat us here.
Ben sand ridge.
There goes our lead.
Hey, you can't come in here.
It's an active crime scene.
And here, I thought that police tape
was leftover Christmas decoration.
Is there a problem here, detective rush?
Yeah, I think officer russano here
seems to have an issue.
Is it because we're women?
Or is it because we're women of color?
What? N-No, no, that... look...
Do you have any idea how vital it is
to collect crime scene evidence
before these knuckle-draggers contaminate it?
Yet here we are,
wasting our precious time with you.
Do you want the killer to get away?
Who's your supervisor?
I'm sure they'd like to know that their field officer
is impeding a murder investigation.
O-Okay, look, I'm sorry, detective.
You can go right in.
Let's go, murph.
Go secure the perimeter.
Yes, ma'am.
Murph?
Think I'm gonna have to keep my eye on you.
I'm gonna go check the body.
Take a look around, let me know if you see anything.
Right.
Clever.
Hey, man.
Hey!
Damn it.
Get in!
Where's your gun? Glove compartment.
Always keep a spare.
You think he made it?
What is it?
What do these people want with us?
Harry'll run this through the system,
try and get an ID.
Hey, it's never easy taking a life.
You did what you had to do.
I almost forgot.
Found this stash in a secret cubby at Benjamin's place.
Nice work.
Maybe it'll get us some answers.
Sam found this at the restaurant.
This is your command center?
Yeah, it's a lot?
Welcome.
It's encrypted. Should just take
a minute to crack.
All right, while we wait, Sam, these
are all your father's CIA missions.
I mean, the amount of stuff he did,
he could be on anybody's hit list.
Did my father really take out a Russian outpost by himself?
That was a slow day.
Is there anything here that you recognize, Sam?
Maybe a place or a person
that maybe your dad mentioned in passing?
Nothing that jumps out.
Where's that file on the Dominican Republic?
There isn't one.
There's no record he was even ever there.
That's where he found me, then went on the run.
So that's where his last mission must have been.
Wait.
Sam, how old are you?
27. And he found you when you were two.
What was going on in the d.R. 25 years ago?
Late '90s, the d.R. Had a period of civil unrest.
Power vacuums opened,
competing factions jockeyed for control.
One key figure was
a military strongman Alfonso cardozo,
whose rise to power seemed imminent.
Until his entire compound was firebombed.
That's got to be it.
All right, let's see what the CIA has got on him.
Yeah, that's my father.
So, he was there.
Maybe he was sent down there to recruit cardozo as an asset,
until the CIA decided
they wanted someone else in power.
And get rid of cardozo to make sure he wouldn't get in the way.
Seems as though he survived the bombing.
Right after, he fled the Dominican Republic,
so the CIA got what they wanted.
Well, now it looks like he put together a small army of mercs
and is working as a gun for hire.
Linked to a gas attack in Barcelona
killing 27, including children.
Bombed a convoy full of aid workers
bringing supplies to somalian refugees.
This is not a good guy.
So then...
He's the one we've been running from all these years?
Yeah, seems like cardozo wants payback.
Yeah, but he has my father. What does he want with me?
And if he's the one that's been
chasing us my whole life, then
why did my father tell me it was the CIA?
All questions we'll ask your father when we find him.
It's the thumb drive.
It's decrypted. Let's see what we got.
Selfies?
Where is he?
Looks like a tourist trap.
He's not taking selfies.
No, those are recon photos.
Something my father taught me,
how to do surveillance without being obvious.
High vantage point. Crowd to blend into.
Father taught you well.
So what was he photographing?
Wow.
My father worked construction
in the Bronx when I was a kid,
but I never got to see the view from up here.
It's stunning.
Yeah, never gets old.
But Benjamin wasn't here to admire the view.
Yeah.
He was facing east in his selfies,
which means he was clocking west.
Warehouse near the water, straight ahead.
That's the same Jeep as our merc.
So, maybe Benjamin was scouting for your father
and found out cardozo and his men
were operating from there.
Yeah, my father said that he was coming here
"to change our lives."
He probably tracked cardozo here,
and Benjamin was helping him go on the offensive.
So, then that's probably where they're holding my father.
Got him.
Sam.
Dad, thank god you're okay.
What the hell are you doing here?
Did you see the signal? Yeah,
but I wasn't gonna just leave you here.
You promised.
Now you've played right into his hands.
Whose hands? Cardozo's?
Yes.
He doesn't care about me.
You're the one he wants.
Why?
Why has he been chasing me all these years?
Move, move!
Go, go, go!
Hey, do you see 'em?
Move, move!
Dad.
Is this man my...?
He's your biological father.
Go, go.
There they are!
We've got company.
Move, move!
We got to get out of here.
Go! Go! Go!
Shoot the pipe!
They're trapped!
That'll hold us for a while.
That'll also keep us trapped in here.
We're four stories up.
There's a trash heap down there.
If we're lucky, it'll break our fall.
Let's go!
Move!
Move, move! Go!
They're getting away!
You have a weapons cache?
Enough to survive.
Mel is on her way with the heavy stuff.
Good. That maniac will keep coming till I put him down.
Okay, stop.
Stop.
Look, I know you have questions,
but there's no time.
No. I-I've waited my whole life for the truth.
I'm not waiting a second longer.
Samantha, it's complicated.
Then speak slowly.
Why did you lie to me all these years
about who was chasing us?
About who my father is? You have to understand
that everything I have done has been in your best interest.
Why don't I decide that?
I want the full story. All of it.
Okay.
I was embedded in cardozo's operation
for almost a year.
I was sent there to evaluate
whether or not he could be an asset.
But when it was determined that he was too unpredictable...
That you couldn't control him.
I was ordered to neutralize cardozo's organization
permanently.
So I planted a bomb at his compound.
You planted that bomb?
So all that collateral damage
you were so upset about was because of you.
My mother, sh-she was there, wasn't she?
You killed her. No.
That is not what happened.
Truth is.
I loved your mother.
What?
Y-You told me you never even met her.
Soon after I got there, I caught a rare virus.
Elena was an angel.
It took weeks, but she nursed me back to health.
Waking up to those beautiful eyes every day...
Before we knew it, we fell in love.
Her name was Elena?
I can't believe you kept this from me.
It's what she wanted.
Your mother was miserable,
trapped in this horrible marriage with cardozo.
She wanted out.
After the mission,
we planned to spend the rest of our lives together,
with you.
But as we were leaving the compound,
he called out to your mother to stop.
But instead she started running.
He shot her.
With her dying breath,
your mother made me promise to raise you,
to keep you safe, and, above all,
keep you away from "that monster."
And that included never telling you anything about her.
So.
I ran and ran.
I ran away from that house and from the CIA.
Then you found out that cardozo survived.
And we've been hiding ever since.
I realize how unfair life has been for you.
Sammie, look at me.
My sole purpose in life
has always been to protect you.
Yeah, well
seems like the only protection I ever needed
was from you.
I'm gonna go check on her.
I know you have a lot to process.
But I also know a lot about fathers and daughters, and...
There's nothing more important to that man than you.
I used to believe that.
But after all the lies
Sam, I know this is hard to understand,
but sometimes we have to lie to protect the ones we love.
It's not always appreciated,
as my family would tell you.
But it is necessary.
I know you're angry.
I deserve that.
Though I can't change the past,
I can definitely change your future.
And how are you gonna do that?
I came to New York to take out cardozo.
I'm gonna finish what I started.
It's the only way you'll ever be free, Sam.
I want to talk to him myself.
I have questions. I know you're upset,
but I assure you, that is a very bad idea.
You don't get to decide that. Not anymore.
Okay. If we find him and it's safe,
you can ask him all the questions you want.
I promise.
You have a laptop?
Do you have a plan?
I'm taking the fight to him.
Of course he won't be at the refinery,
but when the enemy knows your location,
the smart move is...?
To establish a new base of operations.
Yeah. As I thought, they relocated.
You planted a tracker.
In my watch. When they grabbed me,
they took all my belongings.
They're downtown in the battery.
Looks like they posted up here.
Sam.
What do you see?
Superior vantage points.
The river protects their six.
Basically an unassailable fortress.
Which means we have to... Make cardozo give up his advantage.
Draw him outside.
And I have an idea how to do that.
Found her.
Heading west on the bqe.
They could be going to jfk.
We can't let them get on a plane.
Go, go, go.
It's working, Harry.
Credit to Sam for the idea.
All I did was upload the fake video footage.
How unusually modest of you.
Mel, you in position?
Ready to pump a slug in cardozo's engine block.
And then we'll move in from there.
Hey, bad news, guys.
That was the last of the convoy.
As far as I can tell,
cardozo is not in any of those vehicles.
Damn. Cardozo's still inside.
Then we'll go in and get him.
You hear that?
Someone's coming.
Move, move. Go, go, go.
Go.
Move, move! Rob!
Move, move! Go, go, go!
Stop!
Put it down.
Delfina.
Drop it. Now!
Delfina.
I can imagine how confusing this must be.
But whatever lies this man said about me are just that.
Lies. He's a monster
who's slaughtered countless people.
And your hands are clean?
Samantha. Her name is delfina.
I remember
the day your mother gave you that stone.
She loved you so much.
She still does.
We can be a family again, delfina.
Me, you...
My mother's dead.
Is that what he told you?
The man who's lied to you your entire life?
Don't listen to him, Sam.
I saw him kill her.
Shot her in the back like the coward you are.
I'm a coward?
You stole another man's daughter!
Delfina, I know you have questions.
And I have answers for all of them.
Just lower your gun.
Toss yours first.
And then we'll talk.
Okay.
If I can't trust my own daughter,
what kind of father am I?
I hope that trust goes both ways.
Don't fall for it, Sam.
Sam.
If she's alive, then where is she?
Come with me. I'll take you to her.
No. Get her on the phone.
FaceTime her. Let me talk to her.
Let me see her.
He's not going to do that, Sam, because he can't.
He killed her. Isn't that right, Alfonso?
Isn't it?
Because you couldn't stand the fact
that Elena fell in love with me.
I should have shot you first.
You did kill her.
And she deserved to die.
Always keep a spare.
I'm sorry you had to do that.
How you doing?
In the last 24 hours,
I discovered my biological father is
a homicidal maniac
and the only parent I've ever known has
lied to me my entire life.
I guess my whole life has just been an illusion.
I'm not sure I can talk to him right now.
Just hear what he has to say.
For better or worse, he's devoted
the last 25 years to keeping you safe.
Daughters are tough?
My advice?
Just speak from the heart.
I want to thank you for taking care of her when I couldn't.
I owe you.
We're good.
Bishop was right about you.
You're him, in another place.
I'm not sure where to start.
How about the beginning?
Why didn't you tell me about my mother?
I made a promise to protect you.
But not telling you about her
that was a mistake.
It was so painful losing her.
Your mother was a remarkable woman.
Like you.
She loved you more than anything in the world.
I know it's gonna take some time to earn your trust back.
But I promise to do whatever it takes.
Starting now.
You're as beautiful as she was.
You carry this with you?
Close to my heart.
Why am I just seeing this?
You're finally free, Sam.
You can go anywhere you want to go.
Do anything you want.
Whatever that is, I hope it includes me.
But if it doesn't, I understand.
I just.
I need time. I know.
I'm always here for you, Sammie.
If you ever need me, just whistle.
Hey.
Sam, I was hoping you'd stop by.
How are you feeling?
I'll be okay.
I wanted to say thank you.
Getting to know you guys
and seeing what you have with each other,
it's given me hope.
That one day I'll find people like you in my life.
That's very sweet.
Well, there's no need to find people like us.
You got the real thing right here.
You guys are the best.
Pretty impressive the way you handled yourself today.
Thanks.
And I'm not gonna lie.
It felt good to put all that training to use.
Let me show you something.
People call me when they can't call 911.
And this is how they reach out.
There's so many of them.
The best part of my day is when I can help someone on this list.
The worst part is that I can't help them all.
Not without more help.
Wait. Are you saying...?
I've seen what you're capable of.
And I want you on my team.
That would be amazing.
But I think I'm going back to Atlanta.
So many people there need help.
And I'm gonna give it to them.
Then I think you found your calling.
What about your dad?
We have a lot to unpack, but with time and effort,
I'm hopeful we can get through it.
You'll figure it out.
But until then, if you need me, I'm here.
Sam, can you please come over here?
I told him about the quarter thing,
and he won't shut up about it.
I need to see some magic as soon as physically possible.
Go on.
It's time to show 'em what you can do.
