- So he was poisoned? - Through his IV.
[Sam] Previously on The Oval .
You think he was an agent?
[Max] He had a tattoo of a snake on his abdomen.
- We're gonna try our plan. - Jason or VP?
VP. Paralysis will set in, and no matter what he does,
he won't be able to get enough air
I know that you're up to something,
and I promise you, I'm gonna figure it out.
Isaac, get over to Rachel's house right now.
[Jason] Rachel! - [screams]
Jason's been here. He's killed Rachel.
- What are you looking for? - The Mother of Pearl spoons.
Oh, uh, what's the girl's name? Naomi?
- Naomi? - Yeah.
The Vice President's chef? What about her?
Yeah, she borrowed them. She came up here
in a panic looking for them, and I let her have them.
Damn it, Priscilla. I don't want her coming up here.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I don't like her. I mean, she's up to no good.
How did she even get into the White House
with all our protocols?
Whoa. Well, she had to be vetted, Richard.
I don't know. I mean, there's something not right about her.
OK, calm down.
I will go down and get them myself. No problem.
No. No, no, no. I'll get them.
- I got this. - OK.
Go get them.
- [phone rings] - Wow.
Abrielle.
[Abrielle] Harriet, hi. Can you talk?
Yeah, I can.
OK, I need to move our meeting up.
- Can you do early afternoon? - Uh, yeah. I'll make it work.
OK. Great. I, uh, I've got good news.
Oh, I could use some good news right now.
[Abrielle] My editor approved the story.
Oh, thank God.
We are going to run what promises to be
an earth-shattering story tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning?
That just made my whole day.
All these people are gonna shit their pants
- when this story hits. - [Abrielle] They will.
Now, what kind of, uh, proof do you have for these allegations?
Well, does witness testimony? Is that good for you?
Yeah, witnesses are great. The more, the merrier.
OK, good. Because I'm bringing one with me today.
OK, great. Who is he?
Well, he's the office manager and executive assistant
for the White House Chief of Staff.
He works for the Chief of Staff?
Mm-hmm. He runs the office.
Oh, my God. That is great. He will have had a front-row seat--
To everything that goes on in the White House.
Yeah, that's great.
I've, uh, called a couple, uh, congressmen.
Already? Wow, you don't play, Abrielle.
No, I don't.
When you're going up against powerful people,
you need to make sure that all of your ducks are in order.
Mm. True. And we will.
- And Harriet. - [Priscilla] Yes, ma'am?
Make sure you are not followed when you come to see me.
Of course.
[Abrielle] And talk to no one about this.
We are going to be in extreme danger
- for the rest of our lives. - I got it. OK.
- I'll see you later. - I'll see you later.
Oh, tomorrow!
Come in. He's right over here. I got you some help, Al.
You find that freak?
Not yet, but we got agents from all over the city
coming to aid in the search.
Just find him, all right?. He's fucking crazy.
Oh, we'll get him.
- Where is she? - She's right here.
What the hell are you doing here?
- Just came to check on her, sir. - Even though I told you not to?
I told you that, right?
[Agent Isaac] You should have listened to him Allan.
Jason attacked him with a hammer.
[Donald sighs]
Allan, I told you that I would handle this. Didn't I say that?
So, what, you just do what you want to do. Is that it?
No, sir.
[Donald] What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're becoming a liability. You know that, right?
I'm sorry, sir.
- How long has she been dead? - Several hours.
You know, Allan, it's not good
that you're in here with yet another dead body.
That body count's really adding up, ain't it?
I didn't do this, sir. I didn't do this.
This was Jason Franklin, the First Son.
How do we know that? Huh?
You know, just get back to work, please, Allan.
- He's injured. - Yeah? Look at me.
He looks good to me.
Boy, get your ass back to work right now.
Allan, are you OK to go back to work?
[door closes]
Doesn't seem like I have much of a choice.
Oh, fuck.
Naomi, call me as soon as you get this.
I need to know if the Vice President had lunch.
Agent Sutton?
Yes, sir.
Oh, my God, I just heard
that somebody tried to kill Agent Bobby.
Yes, sir. He was shot.
Oh, man. I mean, he and I had our differences,
but I would never want anything bad to happen to him.
- Yes, sir. Of course. - Man...
He survived the shooting, but he was still poisoned.
What?
Huh. That's terrible.
Well, is he OK?
He's OK, sir. The plot failed. He survived.
The doctors were able to administer an antidote in time.
[chokes, struggles to breath]
- Are you OK, sir? Sir? - [chokes]
[Man] Ladies and gentlemen, the President and First Lady.
♪ It feels like I'm running out of time ♪
♪ You gotta gets yours I gotta get mine ♪
♪ Not really sure where we're headed to ♪
♪ I just hope that you make it when I do ♪
- Sir? - [Eli continues choking]
- Are you OK, sir? - [Eli breathes heavily]
Sit down. Sit down. Take a glass of water.
Thank you.
- Here you go. - Yeah, I'm OK. I'm OK.
- [Eli] Thank you, Agent. - Yes, sir.
I'm OK. I'm glad you were here. It's my lucky day.
Yes, sir. Yours and Bobby's.
Huh. Yeah. Both of us.
I'll be outside if you need anything, sir.
[Cross] I'll take it from here, Agent.
Uh, Sutton, can you take this tray? I've lost my appetite.
Of course, sir.
Cross.
Any update on Bobby?
Not yet, but I'm sure he'll die.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
You're sure he'll die?
Yeah, I put poison in his IV, sir.
Hmm. But you said you left before it was finished.
Yes, I left to protect the security of our operation.
Huh. So you left before the job was done?
No. Well, yes, I did the job,
and then I left him to die on his own. So you need to pay me.
- Bobby isn't dead, Cross. - Excuse me?
I just confirmed that Bobby is not dead, nor is he dying.
You left before the job was done.
See, after you left, doctors got to him
and administered an antidote to your little poison.
Bobby Cayden is alive and recovering
in his hospital room as if you'd never been there, Cross!
- Sir. - What?
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
But go ahead. Check for yourself.
OK. OK. Sir, I'm sorry.
You're sorry? You're sorry? I'm sorry,
because it looks like I hired the wrong man for the job!
No sir, you did not. I did successfully execute
a shooting that yielded a three-shot wound.
Oh, OK.
[Cross] I also executed a poisoning,
and I was able to do so and to go undetected.
That's great. That's great.
You executed everything except for the one damn thing
I was paying you to execute!
Sir, surely you can see I executed your plan, sir.
No. The only thing I can see is an incompetent agent
who is incapable of completing a mission that he's assigned to!
Well, OK. Look, I need my money.
And people in hell want ice water.
Good for them. How will I get paid?
You would already be paid
if you had done the thing that I was paying you to do!
- And I did just that. - Get out.
Look, I need my fucking money.
- Get out. - Eli, I--
Get out!
- I'm gonna get it done. - Get out!
I need my money, Eli.
- Hey, Richard. - Hey, Sam.
Excuse me, Agent.
That tray, is it from the vice president?
- Yes, sir. - How is he?
He's great. Can I help you with something?
No. I'm fine. Thank you.
Hey, what's going on with you lately?
Uh, Sam. That new cook
makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
- This Naomi woman? - Yes. She's up to no good.
What makes you think that?
Man, too many secret sidebars with staff,
whispers with agents.
She jumps every time I walk into a room.
Hey, look. I, uh, trust your instincts, Richard.
Hey, Sam. You know, food for the President
and the Vice President is a matter of--
- National security, yeah. - [Richard] Because of that,
we have very strict protocols that we all have.
Sam, there is no way in hell
that she made it through all of those checks.
How do you know that?
Well, for one, Sam, I'm one of those checks.
And she completely bypassed me when she got hired.
I'm telling you, Sam, she's up to no good.
- Well, what is she doing? - I don't know.
I think she might be trying
to poison the Vice President or something.
- You think so? - Yeah. I do.
Then why didn't she?
Because I think I interrupted her ass.
- Hey. - Well, hello, Simone.
Did I catch you at a bad time?
You are the Second Lady of the United States.
- My time is your time. - You're kind.
- So, do you have any updates? - I do.
- Well, you look happy. - I am!
OK, OK.
Abrielle got her editor to approve the story.
Are you kidding? Already?
And they're going to run it tomorrow morning.
- Tomorrow? - [Priscilla] Yes!
Oh, gosh.
OK, so all hell is really about to break loose.
Yes, it is. So get ready.
All right. Well, what will the story say?
Well, first, it's going to list all of Jason's crimes.
It's going to talk about Hunter and Victoria's role
in covering them up.
I told her about his cocaine habit,
his affliction for prostitutes, and the first daughter,
how she's missing.
Wow. You really didn't pull any punches.
And this is just the first of many stories.
Look, Priscilla, I know I told you to move forward, but this--
Whoa, don't get cold feet on me now. This is happening.
And Abrielle has enough to run the story?
Well, she wants more witnesses,
so she's probably going to contact you.
Now, I'm going to bring Allan with me today,
and he has all the receipts.
Priscilla, you have to be careful.
[Priscilla] I know, I know.
I'm glad someone else is telling her that.
What's going on?
Uh, Sam, excuse you, but I'm talking to the Second Lady.
I see that. What about?
Hi, Sam. I was just checking on your beautiful wife.
Well, that's also why I'm here, Second Lady,
to check on my beautiful wife.
Who doesn't seem to know how many people she's pissed off.
Oh, I'm clear on that. I just don't care.
That's what scares me.
People are dropping like flies around here.
- Someone else was attacked? - Yeah. Jason killed Rachel.
- [Simone] Oh my god. - Sam, you're lying.
- No, she's dead. - Oh my God.
Allan told me he was worried about her,
and I told him to go over there and check on her.
Well, he took your advice, Priscilla.
And he was then attacked.
- Allan was? - Yes, Priscilla. He went there.
When he went inside, Jason beat him with a hammer.
All right. Let's see here.
Hey, Ms. Nancy.
- Hey. - Can I help you with anything?
You sure can. If you're gonna be living here,
you're gonna have to help prepare these meals.
So you a good cook?
Um, Ms. Nancy, you know I don't cook.
I don't understand you young girls who can't cook.
How you gonna cook for your husband?
Husband? He gonna have to cook for me.
OK, well, maybe. But you still need to know how to cook,
if not for your husband, then for yourself.
And you may want to have kids one day.
You're gonna have to know how to cook for them.
OK, listen. I would love to learn how to cook.
I just never had anyone teach me.
OK, well, I will teach you,
because today is gonna be an easy day.
Oh, OK. What are we making?
- Chicken and rice. - Sounds yummy.
Yes. And you can live off chicken and rice.
It's really easy, basic, cheap, and it keeps your family happy.
- I love it. - [phone rings]
It's my phone. It's Max calling.
Oh, no, get that. All this craziness going on around here?
- That might be important. - OK.
- I'll give y'all a minute. - OK.
- Hello? - Hey, Sharon.
[Sharon] Max, hey. Everything OK?
Yeah, I was just calling to check on you.
Check on me?
[Max] Yeah, I was hoping to get back there and look after you,
but I got stuck here at the hospital.
Oh. Um, that was nice of you.
I mean, I'm fine. I'm just here with Nancy.
Oh, OK. How is she?
She's good. She's good. We're just about to cook.
- [Max] Oh, that sounds good. - We'll make enough for you, too.
[Max laughs]
[Max] I'd appreciate that. I think.
Why do you say you think?
Well, I'm not sure if you can cook.
Well, you're just gonna have to wait and see.
[Max] I'm just messing. I'm sure you're a great cook.
Anyways, I better get back to work.
Just call me if you need anything, all right?
- OK, I will. And Max. - [Max] Yeah?
I really appreciate you calling.
- Of course. Talk to you soon. - OK. Bye.
All right. So... What?
You just smiling from ear to ear?
- OK, no. - You two sweet on each other?
Ms. Nancy, he called to actually check on us.
I see. Well, you know it's OK.
What's OK?
For you to be sweet on a man. You're young.
I know, I know. I'm good.
Well, you'd be even better with a man around.
No, women can do just fine without a man.
OK, OK. That's fair, but life is different
when you have someone around who loves you.
- Maybe. - And that Max is a fine man.
- [both laugh] - He's a white man.
So?
So, you saw how dark Barry was? That's my steelo.
Oh, you young girls need to get off that.
Open up your minds.
That man might be your knight in shining armor.
- Ms. Nancy. - I hope you hear me.
You don't know how God's gonna send him.
You know what, Ms. Nancy?
I am excited about this memorial for Barry.
Oh, yeah. So you gonna help me create it?
Yeah, if you let me. Where are we gonna put it?
Um, living room.
Uh, OK.
Why? Where'd you think I was gonna put it?
I mean, I didn't know, but I was thinking maybe like,
the hallway, or I guess bedroom.
I mean, the living room is the central focus of the house.
Well, I don't know, Sharon. Barry was my heart.
And Richard's, too. And we miss him.
And that's why it hurt me so much
to not have a place to sit with him.
So having that in the living room
will just make me feel like he's always with me.
I like that, Ms. Nancy. And he is always with you.
Barry loved you.
Yeah. Barry?
He did love me, but he loved his daddy.
I mean, you know, most boys are momma's boys,
but Barry was a daddy's boy.
He revered his daddy. He just tolerated me.
No, Ms. Nancy.
You didn't hear the way he always used to talk about you.
- Barry used to talk about me? - All the time.
What did he say?
What stood out to me the most is when he would always say,
"My momma got more love than anybody I know.
"There ain't a more loving person in this world
"than my momma.
"She'll give you the shirt off her back,
and that's why one day I'm gonna buy my mama a big old house."
- [laughs] - Barry would say that?
Ms. Nancy, he would say it all the time.
Sharon, thank you for sharing that with me.
I've been carrying so much guilt.
I was afraid he hated me.
No, Ms. Nancy. What would make you think such a thing?
Sharon, it was because of me
that my granddaughter was kidnapped. Barry told me.
He said, "Don't let her mother near her." And I disobeyed him.
And it's because of me that my grandbaby was kidnapped,
and Barry never got a chance to see her again.
Sharon, I felt like the worst person in the world.
He was so mad at me. I thought he hated me.
No, Ms. Nancy. He didn't hate you.
He knew you meant well. I mean, yeah, he was mad.
But even then, he always told me that you meant no harm.
- Barry said that? - Mm-hmm. Really, he did.
OK. Confession. I was the one who was mad at you.
Because I was fussing at Barry, and I'm just like,
"How your mama just gonna blah, blah, blah,"
whatever I was saying. But Barry stopped me.
He said, "Sharon, my mother would never do anything
"to hurt me or Callie. She has a big heart.
"It's just that sometimes her heart
blinds her to the evil in other people's hearts."
Thank you, Sharon. Thank you for that.
- Absolutely. - God bless you.
[Jimmy] Think I'm some stupid ass.
Not as smart as you think.
- Oh, shit. - Yeah. I put a tracker in that.
- You led me right to him. - Where do you think you are?
- Where the money is. - Get out of my face!
Come on. Does he live here?
- Who? - [Deja] What's his last name?
Look, I'm not telling you shit!
- You know I got more bottles. - And I can get my own.
That's right. Because you have access
to all that money underneath the sofa.
- Get away from me! - But what if he comes back?
I don't want to hear this shit.
[Deja] No. You said you saw a young man putting money
underneath the sofa because you were looking through the window.
Get out!
- So is this the window? - [Jimmy] Shut up!
- Yeah, it must be. - You're crazy!
But this one doesn't have a couch in it.
- So is this the one? - Look for yourself.
You know I can just go to the mailbox and find out.
Well, do it.
Come on. If he comes back and takes the money,
you won't have any more money to steal.
- Then you can't get your fix. - I didn't steal nothing.
- I can help you. - Get out of my face!
I'm going to go to the mailbox.
You don't know what you are doing.
Do I look like I care what a homeless man thinks?
You're just a pathetic hustler.
The people you're talking about are killers.
- Yeah. Tell me about it. - They will kill you. They will.
You can play grown-up all you want,
but you'll find out. You will find out!
[footsteps approach]
- Agent Kane? - Sam.
Weren't you supposed to be off today?
- I'm covering for Alonzo. - Alonzo? Why? Where's he?
He's still at the hospital.
Did he mention what he was doing there?
An assignment from the Chief of Staff.
Oh, I see.
Listen, you know a very important part
of our continued security protocol is AIA.
- Yes. Agents Investigate Agents. - Yes, exactly.
We must all continue to help each other stay honest.
Yes, sir. That's an important part of our protocols.
OK, so I have questions about Alonzo. AIA.
Sure. AIA. I'll keep your confidence.
I appreciate that. What do you know about him?
[Kane] He's nice enough.
He finished the academy like a year or two after me.
You ever work any details together?
We actually did. We were on the Michigan governor's detail
- a few years back. - Oh, really? How was he?
- [Kane] He was great. - [Sam] Do you trust him?
I do.
Ever seen anything strange or seen him do anything
- that'd make you question him? - No.
I can remember him being reprimanded sometimes.
He was sometimes low on common sense.
Yeah, that doesn't seem to have changed much.
Shots fired.
Yeah, but he's a nice guy. He doesn't mean any harm.
I see that. Does he have any tattoos?
I think so. I feel like I've seen tattoos.
Where? Arms? Stomach? Chest?
I can't remember. Maybe his arms.
Ever hear him talk about snakes,
or talk about being a part of a group that has a snake logo?
Snakes? No. What kind of snake?
I don't know. Oh, a black mamba.
Black Mamba. Well, yeah. I think he's a Black Mamba fan.
He is. How so?
Well, I mean, he's a big Kobe fan.
You know, they call Kobe The Black Mamba.
Oh, I see. Interesting.
Well, let me let you get back to work.
Sure. Everything OK?
I don't know yet. Thanks.
- Mr. President, First Lady. - How was Eli's lunch?
Yes. About that.
Oh, I sniff a sorry excuse coming.
Naomi was about to move forward, but she aborted the mission.
Now, why would she do that?
There were too many eyes on the food and in the kitchen.
- Wasn't she put in charge? - Yes. We made her his head chef.
So, why were there eyes? Everyone worked for her.
Richard's been spying on her.
Questioning, snooping around.
Oh Isaac, don't tell me you can't handle Richard?
No sir, I got it, we just need another day or so.
Damn it, Isaac.
Sir, we need to make sure that we handle this
as carefully and as cleanly as possible.
Look Isaac, we don't care anything about that.
We want that asshole to die a slow, agonizing, painful death.
- What she said. - I get it, sir.
And we paid good money to have it happen.
- I understand, just, please. - Please what?
Please understand.
Ghost asked for a million dollars,
which means we don't have to be understanding.
- Yes, ma'am. - Agent Isaac, get this done.
- Yes, sir. - And fire that bitch Naomi.
She obviously is incapable of doing the job.
Ma'am, she's actually pretty good at...
- Did you hear the First Lady? - Yes, sir.
Fire her and get someone who will kill him on the first try.
Yes, sir.
[Hunter] And, uh...
...make sure you get it on video,
so Victoria and I can watch it in our free time.
Uh, yes sir.
[pats Isaac on back]
Did you check to make sure you weren't followed?
- I did. - I hope so. Where's your friend?
Friend?
You said that you were going to bring the guy
from the Chief of Staff, Allan, I think his name was?
- Yes. We had an issue. - [Abrielle] What's the issue?
He doesn't want to talk? Is he having second thoughts?
No, nothing like that. He was attacked by the First Son.
Attacked by the First Son?
Jason Franklin beat him with a hammer.
Oh, my God. You've got to be kidding me.
I'm telling you, Abrielle, these people are crazy.
You're going to think I'm crazy when I tell you everything,
but I promise you it's all true.
OK. Well, I need to hear from everyone who will speak with me.
- I know, but everyone's scared. - Well, of course they are.
If even half of what you're telling me is true,
we are all in danger.
- No, I get it. - No, I don't think that you do.
There will be no shortage of assassins who will be hired
to take us out and force our silence.
Well, like I told you, I'm willing to die for this.
If you die, then these people will not be brought to justice.
We need you here.
- [door opens] - [both gasp]
- Sorry I'm late. - It's OK. This is Allan,
You look terrible. Shouldn't you be in the hospital?
No. Donald doesn't care how much pain I'm in.,.
he just told me to get my ass to work, so.
The Chief of Staff wants you at work?
When you should be in a hospital?
Yep. That's right.
- Allan, this is Abrielle Monroe. - Nice to meet you, Ms. Monroe.
Well, thank you for meeting us on such a difficult day.
No problem. When Pris... Harriet told me that you'd be
willing to meet us, I knew I had to be here. I wouldn't miss it.
Great. Well, my editor has approved the story.
We are going to blow this up in tomorrow's edition.
It's going to be front page news.
OK. Great. Thank you. Um...
- I have a lot to tell you. - Great. I'm all ears.
[hospital machinery beeping]
- Hey, are you OK? - I'll be OK when he's OK.
- Did you get any rest? - Not really.
I just went home, took a shower, packed a bag and came back.
I wanted to hang out here.
Yeah, that'll actually be a big help.
Yeah, of course.
So listen, I need to tell you something.
Yeah? Hey, Max. Why does he look so swollen?
Hey, where's the doctor? I'm going to get the doctor.
- He doesn't look so good. - Lilly. Something happened.
What happened?
When you left, someone got to him.
Got to him?
Yeah. Someone must have been watching us.
When you texted me that you were leaving,
I didn't feel right, so I rushed back over.
The agent that was guarding him was poisoned.
He was dying on the ground. And there was a masked man
in here putting poison into Bobby's IV.
Wait, what? Max, what are you saying?
I caught him in time, all right? We fought, but he got away.
I'm sorry.
Wait, Max, how did he get in here? How'd he get away?
Sam's investigating.
OK, well, what did the doctor say?
Is he going to be OK?
Well, now on top of the gunshot wounds,
he's fighting a poison.
Oh my God. This can't be happening.
The doctors gave him an antidote, all right?
They think it'll turn this around.
Is that why he looks so swollen?
[Max] Yeah, they had to give him
anti-epileptic medicine, too. He was convulsing.
Oh, my God, Max. I should have never left.
No, hey, hey. No, we thought he'd be OK, all right?
We had him guarded. It's not your fault.
Lilly. Lilly, it's not your fault, all right?
OK. Well, how was the agent that was out there?
Alif? He's not good. He's in a coma.
Oh my God, Max. We're not safe.
They're really trying to kill us.
I know, Lilly, but it's not going to work, all right?
No, Max, we need help. We're sitting ducks in here.
Don't worry. I have help on the way.
The guys are going to double up on shifts, and the entire floor
is now locked down, not just this hallway.
Oh my God. Hey, Bobby? Bobby, please don't leave me, OK?
You need to stay with me, OK? Come on, Bobby.
Yeah, keep talking to him.
And thank God you came back, Max.
Yeah, thank God.
Speaking of, you may want to get back to your praying.
It seemed to work last time. Right?
I'm going to leave you guys. I'll be outside.
- [door slams] - [Priscilla gets startled]
- [Priscilla] Sam? - Where were you, Priscilla?
You are not in a position to be questioning me.
You tell me where you are right now.
I was somewhere minding my business.
You have been gone for hours, and by yourself. Are you crazy?
Who the hell do you think you are trying to keep tabs on me?
Damn it, Priscilla. I am your husband!
I am a man who loves you
and is trying to protect your stupid ass.
Well, don't worry about me. I'm no longer your concern.
- I got this. - No, you don't got this.
There are people, powerful people,
with endless resources in reach.
They are looking to exterminate you, Priscilla.
And if they kill you, they damn sure better kill me.
So please, Priscilla, work with me!
No, Sam!
How about you go work with Tonya?
You got a whole other family, Sam.
Go work with them. I got me.
If we need to talk about Tonya, we can do that.
She has nothing to do with how I feel about you.
You are the love of my life, Priscilla.
No, Sam. If I was the love of your life,
you would have respected me. You would have honored this.
There would be no other woman you've been with for years.
If you loved me, there would be no Tonya.
And there damn sure wouldn't be no child out of wedlock?
With your mistress?
And you hounded me about not having sex for three weeks?
If you loved me, we wouldn't be here.
No, no, no. Nuh-uh. Mm-mm. Stay here with me.
If you loved me, we wouldn't be going through this bullshit.
This is you. You did this.
This is your doing. This is because of you.
So how about you save that love of my life crap
for that bitch or whoever else you're putting your dick in.
I'm not doing this with you. I'm not.
Did you go talk to that reporter?
Yes. Yes, I did. And I told her ass everything.
Please tell me you didn't do this, Priscilla.
Oh, I did. I told you, Sam. I'm burning this White House down.
Priscilla, please.
It's done.
Tomorrow morning. In the Times . Front page.
In less than 24 hours, the world will finally know
what these assholes have been up to.
And I can't wait.
Now get the hell out of my face.
[door slams]
Hey, I was just going to grab some lunch. You need anything?
- Yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. - Yeah. What do you want?
I don't know. Let me get a cheeseburger or something?
- Cheeseburger? - Yeah.
- Fries? - Yeah, yeah. Good looking out.
Yeah, we got to look out for one another.
- Appreciate it. - Yeah.
- I don't have any cash on me. - It's all good. I got you.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- Hey, Alonzo, actually. - Yeah?
If I get you lunch, would you do me a favor
and show me that six-pack you got down there?
Man, you don't stop.
Bro, I... No. OK?
OK. Well, I mean, you're a good-looking guy.
- I mean, what do you expect? - Yeah, thanks, but no thanks.
- Look, I'll show you mine. - I don't want to see your abs.
Come on. See? It's easy. Look. Whoa! Just real quick.
OK. You know what? I'll just get my own burger. Thank you.
Just stop. I'm sorry. I was just messing with you. All right?
- I got you. - Thank you. I'm starving.
OK. I'll be back in a minute.
- Yo, Max. - [Max] Yeah?
- Look. - Hey, nice.
Working on it. That's all you're going to get, bro.
I'm not like that.
Damn. Hey, I noticed you don't have any stomach tattoos there?
Oh, hell nah. I just have a few on my arms. That's it.
OK. Well, thanks, man. Sorry. I didn't mean to seem weird.
Too late.
All right. To be honest, I'm doing an internal investigation.
I'm looking for an agent that's got a tattoo on their stomach.
- Oh, yeah? Is that what that is? - No really, that's what that is.
It's OK, Max. You guys are crazy. It's OK, bro.
I ain't tripping. My brother's like that.
No, listen. You really have the wrong impression.
I'm telling you. I'm just--
You don't have to do that, OK? Just be proud of who you are.
Just find someone who likes what you like.
And that's not me. OK?
OK.
Proud of you.
Thanks. I'll be back in a minute with your burger.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Sam, it's not Alonzo.
There's some other agent out there who did this.
I need your help to find him.
Hey, sir.
I'm going to call you back. What do you want, Cross?
I want to know if the offer's still on the table.
- Maybe. - Why maybe?
You trying to do what you said you want to do,
- you need someone on the inside. - You underestimate me, Cross.
Let's be clear.
I can do this with you or without you.
You won't do anything
if I blow the whistle on what you're trying to do.
You'll be dead
before the second sentence comes out of your mouth.
- Is that a threat? - That is a statement of fact.
So how much are we talking?
We were going to give you a huge payday.
It'd have to be huge,
because the agency's going to fire me if something happens
to the Vice President on my watch.
We'll do our best to protect you.
What do you need me to do?
Well, we were going to give you a huge payday
to just be bad at your job.
Well, if the payday's right,
I'll do whatever you need me to do.
You're not the first person who has paid me to off someone.
Well, you're going to have to at least
try to look like you prevented it.
- I got you. - And that's it.
It was such an easy gig.
You should have taken the offer when it was on the table.
What if I'm open to the offer now?
Then I would have to think about it.
You know I'm the best. That's why you came to me first.
We'll see, Cross. We'll see.
OK, look. I need the money, man.
I'm in a real serious situation,
and I'm willing to off that asshole.
What happened to your loyalty to him?
He lost my loyalty when he wasn't loyal to me.
Wow. An agent scorned.
So if we do this, when will I get paid?
- When it's done. - And when do you need it done?
As soon as possible.
If I go into this with you, I'll be sure to get it handled.
I mean you're gonna have to
at least appear to try to prevent it.
I got you.
OK, Cross. We'll see.
But look, you think I can get an advance?
An advance? What the hell?
Look, man, I'm in a bad situation. I need it, Isaac.
- You bet not burn me, Cross. - I'm not going to burn you.
You pay me, and my loyalty will always be with you.
Text me your bank details.
[Abrielle] Ed, I have the biggest scoop
in at least the last century. Yeah. It's worse than I thought.
Really. No, I mean, I think
the Bureau may need to give me some protection.
Yes, it is that bad.
OK, I can get that to you in a few hours.
I just need to get some of my notes together
before I can get you that story. Yeah.
No, she gave me everything that--
[gunshots]
I don't know what to say.
You really are a twisted man with no soul.
[Priscilla] Next on The Oval .
- No one has found my Jason? - We're searching everywhere sir.
You gotta figure out his next move.
Did you know that Jason
went to Rachel's house and killed her?
Set up a trap.
I need you to help me get this money.
Cuz, I don't know about all that.
You got the whole hood after you right now.
We should get a detail just for you.
Don't let me down. My life is in your hands.
Yes, sir.
I brought this from Russia. It will do everything you want.
He will have a slow, painful death.
