- George Woodhouse: If she's in trouble, even of her own making, I will do everything in my power to extricate her. No matter what that means. You understand?
- Clarissa Dubose: My god, that's so hot.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Now I don't mind what you two did. You saved lives. But don't ever fuck with my marriage again.
- George Woodhouse: I understand this is not the casual dinner you'd prefer.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Yeah, it's an unusual group. Data-scraper, two agents, and the in-house shrink. What are we hunting this time?
- George Woodhouse: Severus.
- Kathryn St. Jean: And you believe one of them took it?
- George Woodhouse: Possibly.
- Kathryn St. Jean: It's been a while since we had a traitor to dinner. At least knowingly.
- Philip Meacham: You were right, George. We have a traitor in the house.
- [hands George a slip of paper]
- Philip Meacham: There are five names on there. Your wife's one of them.
- George Woodhouse: Why's that?
- Philip Meacham: You asked me to look at everyone, I looked. She has the security clearance, she has the motive and she has the capability. I had to put her down. How long do you think you'll need?
- George Woodhouse: Give me two weeks.
- Philip Meacham: If Severus is deployed as intended, thousands of innocent people will die.
- George Woodhouse: Okay, one week.
- Kathryn St. Jean: That's for him, not for you.
- George Woodhouse: It's alright. Thank you, darling.
- Freddie Smalls: See? George can handle it.
- Clarissa Dubose: Handle what?
- Freddie Smalls: Little Georgie surveilled his own father.
- Col. James Stokes: Ouch.
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: Oh my.
- Freddie Smalls: Daddy was an inveterate cheater. Rarely, if ever kept it in his pants, but, he was senior service, so he was, shall we say, careful. When half your life's in a black bag, how's little civilian wife here ever to have a prayer of knowing where you're sticking it?
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: That's crass.
- Freddie Smalls: So was Thomas Woodhouse, and his boy didn't like that one bit.
- Col. James Stokes: So what happened?
- Freddie Smalls: George got the goods on him, on video. Played the tape one Sunday night at a family dinner I would have paid money to be present at. George torched daddy's marriage, and his career, at the same time. Who ever thought a field op would be bested by his own kid?
- George Woodhouse: I don't like liars.
- Clarissa Dubose: You are so rock and roll.
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: That must have been deeply traumatic. How old were you?
- George Woodhouse: Thirty-seven.
- Kathryn St. Jean: I would have thought you'd start with polygraphs.
- George Woodhouse: I wanted to try something more elegant first.
- Kathryn St. Jean: What's on the menu?
- George Woodhouse: Fun and games.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Will it be a mess to clean up?
- George Woodhouse: With any luck.
- Clarissa Dubose: When you can lie about everything, when you can deny everything, how do you tell the truth about anything?
- [Kathryn climbs into bed, George having turned in]
- George Woodhouse: I believe I've been set up.
- Kathryn St. Jean: I think I have been too. By Freddie, of all people.
- George Woodhouse: Why?
- Kathryn St. Jean: What if he's playing me. He thinks I'll take action to protect you. And he's right. I will kill for you, George. You know that.
- George Woodhouse: [dismayed] Freddie stole Severus.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Oh, maybe, maybe not. It's not really about that anymore, is it? Somehow it's... it's about us.
- George Woodhouse: There's a plan. And a counter-plan. One is using you to get to me. The other, me, to get to you.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Well what are we going to do about that?
- George Woodhouse: Disrupt. All of it. Bait someone into an overreaction.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Will it be another mess to clean up?
- George Woodhouse: Only if we do it right.
- Kathryn St. Jean: We have a game.
- Col. James Stokes: Ah, shit. Really?
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: I don't think I'm willing to submit to this.
- Kathryn St. Jean: And here's how it works. We go around the table and George will ask each one of you a question, and if you get it wrong, you lose.
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: This is inappropriate.
- Kathryn St. Jean: And the loser,
- [removes a pistol from a handbag, ejects the magazine, inserts it and pulls the slide]
- Kathryn St. Jean: doesn't get up from the table.
- [slides the pistol across the table]
- Clarissa Dubose: For fuck's sake!
- Col. James Stokes: Are you out of your mind!
- Clarissa Dubose: The two of you, I swear to god!
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: I'm leaving.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Sit down.
- Freddie Smalls: You are cordially invited to an evening of fun and games with George and Kathryn.
- George Woodhouse: Avoid the Chana Masala. Contains a healthy amount of DZM-5.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Darling, you may not dose our guests.
- George Woodhouse: One of them is a liar. I want to know which.
- George Woodhouse: I understand eh, you and Freddie are still together.
- Clarissa Dubose: Yeah.
- George Woodhouse: Isn't that a bit awkward?
- Clarissa Dubose: Because I pinned his hand to the table with a steak knife?
- George Woodhouse: That comes to mind.
- [in a sushi restaurant, Stieglitz is served his order, still breathing. Kathryn takes a seat beside him]
- Arthur Stieglitz: [sneering] What do you want?
- Kathryn St. Jean: Ikizukuri is illegal in the U.K.
- Arthur Stieglitz: If you don't mind, I prefer to eat alone.
- Kathryn St. Jean: You know, I can't see all the corners, but I can tell the shape. And this... all yours.
- Arthur Stieglitz: Mm. What could you possibly be talking about?
- Kathryn St. Jean: Oh, please. Your operation stops. Right now.
- Arthur Stieglitz: Mm. You're a little late for that.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Yeah?
- Arthur Stieglitz: Mm.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Ask for the CIA drone logs when you get back. How many would a meltdown have killed? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?
- Arthur Stieglitz: What did you do? Hmm?
- Kathryn St. Jean: Canceled your op.
- [an aerial drone dives, strikes a moving SUV carrying two men, detonates on impact]
- Arthur Stieglitz: You stupid son-of-a-bitch! You cannot imagine the damage you just did. Mm?
- Kathryn St. Jean: Now I don't know who you enlisted to help, but George has got his teeth in it now. Have you seen him, when his jaws lock on something? You will rip yourself apart before he'll let go. Eat up. This ends with someone in the boot of a car.
- [in Dr. Zoe Vaughan's office]
- Kathryn St. Jean: The other day, Arthur Stieglitz told me that my devotion to my marriage is my professional weakness. That my feelings for George are a gaping wound through which any idiot can attack me. He told me that I want too much, and that I cannot have it all. I'm going to have his job. You watch.
- Kathryn St. Jean: I wonder if it's possible you went just a bit heavy on the DZM-5?
- George Woodhouse: I may well have.
- Kathryn St. Jean: Did you see what you needed to see?
- George Woodhouse: I don't know yet. That was the rock, now I watch the ripples.
- Dr. Zoe Vaughan: Fine! I've got nothing to hide.
- George Woodhouse: Then we'll start with you. When did you first sleep with Freddie?
- Col. James Stokes: Oh, that's just gross.
- Clarissa Dubose: Sick!
- George Woodhouse: My apologies. That was ungentlemanly, but necessary.
- [a man sits down on a bench end opposite Kathryn, looks forward, avoiding eye contact]
- Kathryn St. Jean: Life-Cell-Zone-Lock. That's the trace login. He's moving.
- Mr. Green: What is this, my birthday?
- Kathryn St. Jean: Can you get it approved quickly?
- Mr. Green: To keep Severus from getting out? Speed of light.
- Kathryn St. Jean: I'll owe you.
- Mr. Green: Really, why do you care?
- Kathryn St. Jean: It's a private agenda.
- Mr. Green: That's not really an answer.
- Kathryn St. Jean: One of our people is compromised. Drone strike resets everything.
- Mr. Green: Just Kulikov, or am I taking anybody else out with this?
- Kathryn St. Jean: It's a fucking gift from heaven. Do you want it or not?
- Mr. Green: Yes, we want it. It's just... I'm getting my arms around the global.
- Kathryn St. Jean: He's traveling across Poland for the next three hours. Don't wait.
- [walks away]
- Clarissa Dubose: George- you come to my apartment at eleven o'clock at night asking about my relationship. I'm not shocked, and I'm not even sure I'm saying no, but are you actually doing this?
- George Woodhouse: Eh, no.
- Clarissa Dubose: Then what do you want?
- George Woodhouse: You have MOD imagery oversight in Building 321, in one of the 64 eyes.
- Clarissa Dubose: For a minute there, I thought you were human.
- George Woodhouse: I need a brief keyhole redirect tomorrow morning, and it needs to be unlogged and unrecorded.
- Clarissa Dubose: I don't even think that's possible.
- George Woodhouse: It is. There are brief periods between satlink handovers where a satellite could be used for another purpose without detection. I've done it, in Ratcliff. But this one has to be unofficial.
- Clarissa Dubose: Why would I do something like that?
- George Woodhouse: I would consider myself in your debt.
- Clarissa Dubose: What does that get me?
- George Woodhouse: Privacy. I have personally never found ecstasy use to be a compromising factor, but combined with multiple sexual partners, it would be of issue, to Freddie. His infidelity's one thing but, yours... Freddie's old fashioned.
- Clarissa Dubose: You're a bastard.
- George Woodhouse: It's important.
- Clarissa Dubose: What if I love him?
- George Woodhouse: Then you'll help me.
- Clarissa Dubose: If I date someone outside the community, they don't understand, and they don't have any clearance, so I can't talk about anything. And if I date someone inside the community, I don't trust them, because they're liars, and so am I.
- Freddie Smalls: You've heard about Meacham. He's dead. Coronary.
- George Woodhouse: When?
- Freddie Smalls: Last night.
- George Woodhouse: I just saw him!
- Freddie Smalls: People always say that. A little young for a heart attack, don't you think?
- George Woodhouse: Yes.
- Freddie Smalls: Do you know what he was working on?
- George Woodhouse: No. I need to see Kathryn.
- Freddie Smalls: She's got Stieglitz in there, you might wanna...
- Freddie Smalls: Shall we get this over with? I get it, why you went with him.
- George Woodhouse: Yes?
- Freddie Smalls: James is the smart play. Young, aggressive, and, how shall we say... uncompromised.
- George Woodhouse: I'd always hoped it would be you.
- Freddie Smalls: I drink too much, I fuck too much and I owe more than I'm worth.
- George Woodhouse: Pills are becoming a problem as well.
- Freddie Smalls: I'm so glad I can confide in you, George.
- Freddie Smalls: Severus is a Stuxnet polymorph we developed with NSA. It has to be physically introduced to a nuclear reactor to get past an air gap. But once it's in, it can target and melt down the reactor core. It was a CYBERCOM op.
