00:00You
00:18They've come for him the family everyone there they're in danger and I'm going to get him back there
00:24We're taking him home something happened
00:27Between them there is no Angela Adams anymore. This is a family story
00:33Gerald you understand how this works. Sometimes I have to do things that I can't talk about with you
00:39The army is gonna burn this place to the ground. You can't I have to stay
00:44He's gone as for the two Americans you brought here
00:49They are in the United States now
00:51Working on your orders to defuse the threat we face you're gonna ask me to help them. He sure am
01:04You okay, yeah, yeah, whatever the two of you are after you got a lot closer than Pavlovich light
01:10But your problem is that Emily's lifeline is dead on the ground over there
01:21I
01:37Am as a child and everything is new I
01:47Hear the words spoken of you in mourning
01:51But they have no meaning a
01:55Language I feel I should know but do not yet understand
02:02I feel their reverence for you. I feel their loyalty. I feel their love
02:12But the words are just sounds the movement of air
02:22So I will say goodbye to you in my own way the way I said goodbye to her
02:32I do not know you
02:36Which is to say I do not know the things about you one might say are important to defining you
02:45But maybe there is a different way of knowing
02:52A much older way
02:57From when all we knew was the deep dark sea and sense is long since forgotten
03:07To feel another pass by unseen for an instant
03:15And know if it is something to fear
03:18Something to fight or something more rare
03:27To know that thing in the dark is something to hold on to
03:35For as long as you can
03:38For as long as you can
03:46I know that you are all three of those things to me
03:51As fractured of an answer as I am of a question
03:56But I'm grateful we passed each other in the darkness
04:01Even if for just an instant
04:04You
04:07So I will be here until the pieces are assembled
04:12Wherever you are
04:15Wherever you are going
04:18When you see her
04:22Please be kind to her. I
04:26Think she was maybe just as fractured as we are
04:31And doing the best she could
04:34And
04:37Tell her I
04:40Found my way home
05:04You
05:06You
05:31What did you say to him
05:36I
05:44Told him that Tariq loves him and will keep him safe
05:52But that he's going to be very scared and he's going to feel very alone
06:01And it's gonna hurt
06:03It's
06:05Not good to lie to a kid
06:09Not when the truth is important
06:13And not when you anticipate them becoming an adult that you like to be able to look in the eyes one day
06:24All of those things are true
06:26And
06:31Tariq will protect him. He loves him. I am hopeful
06:39On the other side of this
06:42That you will have a chance to get to know him
06:45You are alike in so many ways
06:49What
06:57I
07:00Am very much alone
07:02Look, I need a plumber. You said he'd be here in 30 minutes. And that was two and a half hours ago
07:10Yeah, I tried that
07:13No, I tried that too. Listen, I know you're trying to help but there are some things
07:18I need an actual human being to be physically present for
07:26Oh
07:43I'm sorry. I didn't call ahead
07:46Who are you talking?
07:47Jesus hold on
07:49No, not you. I gotta go. But can you just get the plumber here? No, no, no way
07:54Tell him not to come I need to talk to you
07:58No, actually tell him we figured it out. Yes. Have a good night. What's happening? I
08:04Need to remind you of something you already know
08:07Why would you need my second set of vows to you the ones I made right after our wedding?
08:12I promised you that I would leave my work at the door that it would never interfere with our family
08:17but that
08:19some things
08:21Happened outside that door that I wouldn't be able to tell you about that
08:24That's about to get more complicated than it's ever been is Angela. All right, I believe so. Yes, but I
08:32Don't have her
08:35She's in Afghanistan
08:36She's in danger and right now so am I I need you to grab the go-back for you and Henry
08:42I want to put you in a hotel for a few days
08:45The two of you will be safe there. I just need to be careful Harold Henry isn't here
08:50Look, it's late. Where is he?
08:54Henry doesn't live here anymore
08:59Who is it's okay there with me with you who's weak? What do you mean Henry doesn't live here anymore?
09:09We're gonna wait outside until I explained it all service in your driveway. I couldn't wait
09:14I'm dead spot. It's hard enough to get through to her. I can't be sitting out there waiting. We need to warn her. Yeah
09:20You're right
09:29This is Angela's father, oh
09:35Nice to meet you
09:37No, no names. It's better. No names just now
09:42Keep trying her. I need a minute and we need to go
09:45I don't want that car sitting in the driveway any longer than it has to I still need something to change into
09:50Take what you want right upstairs?
09:53first door on the right
10:11You
10:20I
10:50I
10:56What time is it there morning? It's hard to get through there so far away from your thing
11:05People hood
11:08She needs to get out of there
11:13What happens to him
11:18To Morgan
11:21Staff they'll find him in the morning garbage point. We shouldn't be anywhere near here. I
11:31Know I know I know I barely knew him
11:39How did this happen
11:44What do you think then
11:51I think
11:55I think it was on to something. I think Bob the bitch really was trying to get control of homestead mineral deposits
12:03Yeah, but got too close
12:07I'm gonna need him out of the way, but
12:11But
12:12to take the old man out and do it on US soil the blowback from that that's
12:18That's not a thing you do to make money from mineral rights
12:23There's something going on here we don't understand yet
12:26I
12:46What does that mean Henry doesn't live here anymore
12:51Please don't tell me you sent him. He's with Curtin Lois
12:55You will be staying there for a while. It's what's best Cheryl. I'm sorry. I asked you very directly
13:01Are we seeing you again? I asked you very directly. Are you confident?
13:05We'd be seeing Angela again, and you didn't answer me. I couldn't answer
13:10Blaming you. I'm not litigating. I agreed to play by these rules to live without answers. I signed up for this
13:16I'm not going anywhere. But Henry is just a little boy
13:21He didn't sign up for this. I
13:24Just met Angela's father for the first time and you don't want me to know his name
13:42Henry needs to be able to ask questions and get answers
13:46and right now
13:49And I love you Harold and it kills me to say this but right now we can't do that for him
14:00Curtin and Lois are assholes to us not to him. They're his grandparents, too
14:09Used to be easier to pretend that your work stopped at the door
14:14We let Angela in because I
14:18Don't know why by the time we realized we'd made an exception. She just fit with us with chip now
14:29I'm trying really hard Harold
14:36But I am drowning in the absence of answers
14:44You
14:52Angela Adams is a fiction
14:57Her father
14:59That man upstairs has been a whole series of fictions ever since I knew him at the agency
15:10If you want me to stop tell me right now
15:14You
15:29This is her what
15:34This is
15:36Emily
15:37Yeah
15:39Did you know it was like this?
15:41Hmm. Yeah, I know
15:43We'll work on some risk of exposure, you know things not to say but you told me no, I mean like this
15:50She's part of this family
15:54You were close with him once too, right? Yeah
15:59Well, wasn't it hard
16:02To be on the outside of this Oh
16:05Cutting off contact with Harold that was part of the deal
16:09The deal the deal that Abby and I made clean break
16:16It was the last connection I had was it was cut we were free
16:24She and him were all the connection I needed
16:29There's a difference between meeting and wanting
16:38Oh
16:40Harold what's the fuck fucking water? He destroyed the box. It's sort of everything
16:46Come on, every minute. We're in here is another minute that that car is sitting out there
16:55Emily yeah, stay where you are if I lose you I might not get you back
17:02Listen M
17:04Morgan boat is dead
17:06We reached him we pushed him we were not able to get him to concede on first contact
17:11About an hour later. He was assassinated
17:15It's a long story
17:17Yeah, I'm fine. Harold's fine. I'm right here kiddo. Well, listen Emily
17:23You've got to get out of there sweetheart. We both know what's on its way there. I can't protect you now
17:32Shit all right
17:36How many men
17:39You're guys the guard unit how many are down there
17:45That's not enough to hold them you've got to get out of there and you really can
17:54Jesus Christ
17:58Who's dead my father
18:00He died of his wounds last night and we buried him this morning, are you all right, I'm fine
18:10Who have you been able to evacuate so far
18:16Who's left families, yeah kids. Yeah
18:23Yeah
18:25Okay, hold on a minute
18:31All right, they're through the past they're on their way up here we're moving don't don't hang up
18:36Give me a minute by the South. Well, we're heading back up to the compound to regroup. I'll be back on once we're in
18:42Okay, just stand by
18:45Stand by
18:58Are we muted
19:00Yeah, and those tunnels you were talking about it
19:03Did they go far enough away from the village that they can get out that way what you're trying to find out
19:07How do you know that for sure?
19:09No
19:11And get kids with them. I don't know how that's gonna work. We got to start making phone calls
19:16Who are you gonna call but they're people that we can call that I can call who?
19:40We lost her once
19:44We're at this part I
19:50Turned around she wasn't there. Yeah, we thought I had her. I thought Abby had her
19:58He was little as you just wandered off
20:01Turned out it didn't take as long to find her. She didn't get that far, but Christ that feeling
20:07Yeah, I
20:08Thought I'm worse of dark. No one had the stomach even give them a name and in my life. I've never
20:14experienced anything like that feeling
20:18So worried myself, I'd never let it happen again
20:24Don't remember saying it out loud, but I remember this look on Abby's face. So I must have said something
20:33Just a little smile. I
20:36Wasn't sure if she was laughing at me or
20:39She just felt sorry for me
20:43Well surprised I'd be when the day came for me to finally figure it out
20:53We used to lose chip all the time
20:56He would just turn up at other houses in the neighborhood
21:00The joke on the street was why wouldn't we just put a bell on him as a matter of courtesy?
21:06Yeah
21:08He loved their dogs
21:11And we never had one
21:14But he loved those dogs
21:18Yeah, I'm here what's happening
21:21They're breaching don't think they're far off but about the tunnels they're breaching through the tunnels
21:28How could they do that? I don't know. We're trying to barricade the doors, but
21:36There's some things that I want to say
21:38That's Harold still there
21:40Yeah, I'm here kiddo. Yeah, Cheryl's here, too
21:44I'm sorry. You're about to go through this again. Neither of you deserve that
21:53And I want you to know that I don't blame you for what you did
22:02Dad
22:04Yeah
22:07Yeah, I'm here
22:12I need you to do something for me. What is it?
22:18I need you to accept this
22:21Why this is happening why this happened I found something here
22:29This family is important to me
22:32That much is true
22:35And this is not a rejection of you or of mom that much is also true
22:41Promise me you're gonna find a way to accept this
22:43I need to know that you aren't gonna spend the rest of your life resenting this
22:47Resenting me for this or resenting this family for this him asking you to accept that. This is
22:53Something that I wanted can you do that for me?
23:01No
23:13No
23:31I
24:01I
24:11Should have stopped her
24:18How could you have
24:21From from what you told me this was something she felt she desperately needed you to stop her
24:27And what if you had how could she
24:57I
25:27I
25:48Gotta go
25:51Not yet
25:54Why?
25:55You heard it too, didn't you?
25:58Yeah, I want to know what just happened I want some answers
26:06I'd like to have them right now
26:09Yeah
26:15Zoe yeah
26:20We're gonna go to the car we're gonna unload the trunk
26:25Would you mind taking my wife in the kitchen and keeping her distracted for a bit
26:34Of course
26:38What did you mean did you hear it too, what did you hear?
26:46On the phone
26:48After those men came in shooting they weren't speaking Dari or Pasto
26:53They were speaking Russian
26:56What does that mean
27:02In your conversations with Morgan both did he ever mention Pavlovich having access to some kind of mercenary army
27:25I
27:44So are you inside this thing or outside
27:49Big pardon
27:53The people inside know
27:56The people outside wonder what the people inside know
28:05I'm asking which are you? I don't exactly know actually
28:14Well
28:16Then either you're inside and you don't have the heart to tell me or you're outside and they don't have the heart to tell you
28:25I think maybe I'm in a transitional phase. Mm-hmm. Funny. Thank you. I
28:38Want you to know I don't blame you for what you did
28:45Those are the last words I will ever hear from someone
28:50Who spent every holiday?
28:52for a decade in my house and
28:56Has a very good chance that I will never have any idea what she was talking about
29:10There are things you owe in order to be a partner in a house
29:14You know things you embrace things you accept
29:18things you suppress
29:20Things you fight within yourself
29:23Well, it's been fair fights in our house, I think Harold
29:28Demanded that of his profession demanded that it treat me fairly
29:35What a ridiculous thing to hear myself say right now
29:49I was asked to distract you
29:52I know I just don't know from what
30:01Do you know did you know Morgan Boat?
30:07Yes, he was a friend of Harold's why a
30:12Russian named Pavlovich ordered his murder to protect a business deal of his in Afghanistan
30:20He also
30:23He may have ordered
30:26Mercenaries to Afghanistan to further protect that deal
30:29the men that
30:31killed Emily
30:33Were his men
30:41You won't know anything I know you know that we're nowhere right now
30:47Anything he knows I want to get out of him
30:51This is what I do
30:53And I did for a living
30:55You know that right?
31:02Not like this I
31:12Need to do this
31:14Alone
31:44I
32:14I
32:38Didn't imagine you'd ever come in here
32:40I
32:43Certainly not to visit the rowing machine. I told you nobody would ever use
32:50Angela's gone
32:55She probably get out of the habit of calling her that why shouldn't I call her that
33:01You're amazing did you not just tell mom that name was a fiction
33:06How's it you turn anything into an argument with me, I don't know
33:13This next part is gonna be hard for you all the fictions you've built are coming apart all at once
33:22Then you could keep your work from ever following you through the front door
33:27That by keeping us separate you could keep us safe
33:30But you could never resent us for the effort it took oh, that's not fair, you know, that's not true a
33:38Fiction is a useful thing. It's just that sooner or later
33:44The truth has to come up for air
33:48There was always a part of you that was left at that door a part I'm not sure I ever met a
33:56A part that wants to come back now
34:07The best thing I ever wanted to be it was your dad
34:14The stuff I fucked up I fucked up but I tried I really did try I
34:23Know
34:25It would have been nice to be able to tell you all that when I had the chance
34:31To say goodbye seems like a small thing to ask in exchange for all the effort
34:39some last words to give a context to it all I
34:46Didn't get it with you. I didn't get it with her. I didn't even get to do it with Henry
34:56You
35:03Last words
35:10What is it you were in the room when it happened at boats, yes. Yes. Yeah. Did he say
35:16Anything to you before he died? No. No, it happened too fast. Did he do anything?
35:20Was he near his computer or his phone he was holding his phone in his hand
35:26Maybe you're sending something
35:29What was it?
35:30Something that he wanted to make sure didn't die with him
35:35Something important to this puzzle that he needed to get into the hands of someone. He trusted
35:40To who to you? No, no, not to me
35:44But I have an idea who he wanted to send it to
35:51I
36:08Didn't know anything about palm adventure Afghanistan or anything
36:13It was just a guy hired by a guy
36:17I knew was that he was hired for a job that he failed to complete
36:25Morgan boat wasn't his only target. Who was his other target?
36:31You
36:35Me why me why her and me of the Dixon's
36:40Marcia and Henry
36:42Why?
36:43Don't know pumps that's lawyer. She wanted to tell you something something she was afraid to say over the phone. Maybe she knows
36:52Something published doesn't want us to know probably something that would hurt him if he came out
37:05Then we're going to London
37:09Because fuck him I
37:12Want to hurt him don't you I
37:18Understand now
37:21You know what's happening what the stakes are maybe not all of it but enough but
37:30But you I
37:33feel like I
37:34Understand you less than I maybe ever have I need to do this
37:39It's just a few days in the hotel to be safe those two are probably gonna ask you to watch their
37:45Fucking dogs, but that's up to you
37:52Help me figure this out when I get back help me find a better way to make all this work together
38:00I
38:07Try I really will try
38:22You should get going
38:24You're not coming. No, no, they'll get you to the hotel safely here
38:28I'm just gonna make sure that everything's cleaned up before I lock up
38:58I
39:28You
39:58You
40:28You
40:58You
41:28You
