“Lady Stardust” · Season 3, Episode 16

In this episode: Annie Walker (4), Eyal Lavin (1), Auggie Anderson (1)

We're talking about handing over agency assets. How many names are on that list? How many lives are we trading for one man?

Three assets in Riyadh, one in Dubai, but they're both collecting intel on OPEC, not the Ansari family.

That designation doesn't mean anything.

Can't we get them off the board before Khalid gets to them?

Yes, but the lives of those assets will be irrevocably changed.

I know. I pulled everything I could on the Ansari family looking for a way around this. I can't think of another plan. I don't want to give over those names, either, but somebody has to do something! Eyal needs my help, and I can't do nothing.

Is this about Russia?

And Paris, and Zurich, and West Virginia. It's about all of it.

You once told me you didn't have feelings for him. Is that not true? Is that what's driving this?

Why do you keep asking me that?

KKhalid

You'll never get away with this.

Get away with what? You have no idea what I want. This is not a negotiation. You no longer have leverage. When I say something, you do it or I shoot you. Is that clear?

KKhalid

Yes.

Killing you would be the easiest thing in the world right now, but it won't solve anything.

Why Athens?

I've got a 40 foot Mariner in Piraeus with my name on it. No, seriously. It's called The Flying Lavin.

You're dyed in the wool Mossad. Are you sure you're going to be happy just sitting around in a boat all day?

Sitting? It's called sailing. I don't know. Much of Jewish mysticism revolves around numbers: the five knots in a tzitzit, the ten Sephirot, the four species of Sukkot; but we only get one life. I want to make the best of it.

Why do I always feel like there's something behind what you're telling me?

[smiles] Why don't you join me and find out?

The last time a guy asked me to run away with him, it didn't work out that well. Besides, I need to get home, put down some roots.

For now. Timing is everything neshema, but one day you and I will be sitting somewhere, looking at a sunset, thinking of nothing at all. Maybe not this boat in Greece, but one day, and that will be lovely evening.

I hope so. Goodbye, Eyal.

I'm not good with goodbyes, and I never get to say it. Thank you, Annie. Good luck.

HWHenry Wilcox

Yes, I know this is macabre, but I wanted to see this place for myself. Please have a seat. Thank you for coming. I know this couldn't be easy.

It isn't. Everything in here is exactly as it was before.

HWHenry Wilcox

Life has a funny way of continuing on, no matter what we do. I know Jai didn't paint the rosiest picture of me, but I'm here to try and make things right.

Mr. Wilcox, you and I only ever met once. I never felt we had any personal issue.

HWHenry Wilcox

This is about Arthur and Joan Campbell.

I've never had any personal issues with them, either.

HWHenry Wilcox

Let me ask you something: why didn't you kill Khalid in Amsterdam? Yes, I know about Khalid. Just assume I know everything.

I gave Khalid all the information he needs to kill his father or force his father to kill him. Either way, we have a piece of the game board and cause havoc in their ranks. It can't be traced back to the Agency.

HWHenry Wilcox

Excellent spycraft, Ms. Walker.

My experience with Lena taught me a few things.
