Advanced motorcycle course? Brilliant.
You'll never get a course like this in the States.
The regulations are damn near irresponsible.

I'll let you catch up.
- Scott Forrester. - Pavel Novikoff.
- It's been a while. - Since Croatia.
- Shouldn't you be stateside? - I still am, on paper.
You know, we pulled a lot of strings to get you asylum.
Guy with your clearance betraying the motherland?
You are high up on Russia's hit list.
Well, I'm not here because I missed the goulash.
Trust me when I say this is important... life or death.
What I'm about to share is highly sensitive.
Does the name of Vladislav Pavlovic ring a bell?
Yeah.
We traded a ballerina getting her big break
for Vlad getting 50 years.
But I can see on your face something's changed.
Apparently he caught wind about an imminent transfer
to maximum security.
Five days ago, there was a prison break in Omsk.
Vlad's out.
And you think he's coming to Budapest?
Yeah, it seems like when you took his brother's life,
- you made yourself a target. - It's not like I had a choice.
There was only one of us walking out of there.
What threat level are we talking here?
The highest. This is a vendetta, a blood feud.
Vlad has dozens of bodies to his name,
and he's just sprung from a Siberian prison to get to you.
Clawing one's way out of Russia.
That's a lot of ground to cover.
Dominoes are already falling.
A Jeep was found on an airstrip outside Omsk...
dead pilot inside.
- They've hijacked his plane. - They?
We believe Vlad has an accomplice.
I appreciate the heads-up and you coming all this way,
but my team can take it from here.
This intel I've offered up,
you'd never hear it from official channels.
It's not safe for you in Budapest.
I'm alive today because of the American government.
Because of you, Scott.
Let me repay the debt.
I'm already here, and like it or not,
you're on the edge of a precipice.
You're signing off on this?
No, I'm just a sucker for the jet lag.
Try to keep our asset in one piece.
Vladislav Pavlovic.
Blue-chip contract killer who operated
out of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Minsk.
43 confirmed kills to his name,
including a CIA case officer, Michael Rafferty.
Now, Vlad was on deck to serve his official sentence
in an Omsk supermax, but clearly he had other plans.
Piotr Efremov's dodging me. Not a single call returned.
The deal we made was for Vlad to stay shackled.
We're short by about 50 years.
- What about Vlad's accomplice? - Sergei Diatchenko.
He's a corrections officer at the prison.
Now, we found that he had no prior connection to Vlad,
so the two must have met when he transferred there.
And so far, his criminal record came up empty.
We've recently confirmed a twin-engine plane
was found ditched in a Turkish airfield.
Tail number proves it's Russian,
linked to the dead pilot they found in Omsk.
Meaning Vlad is officially out of Siberia.
Put out a Red Notice. If he's inching this way,
I want every cop in Europe to know about it.
Hey, we've got to get you out of the country.
I'm not hiding.
Sorry, Scott. It's protocol.
Me leaving Budapest, it is not gonna stop this guy.
If I run, it only is gonna put more bodies
between me and Vlad.
You want to stay local, fine,
but we're implementing some safety measures.
You'll be safe here.
RSO hooked it up.
The building was recently renovated,
and there's cameras out front.
Vo has agreed to the night shift.
Kellett, I've got to be honest,
this whole thing feels overblown.
Scott, you've been marked,
and the threat is more than credible.
A safe house is the bare minimum.
Our pal, Novikoff, he's pretty convinced
that Vlad is not gonna let this go.
Novikoff is the other reason I'm on edge.
I mean, he is a spy who defected.
Can we really trust this guy?
My mother did, and he's given me no reason to doubt him.
I thought he was a high-priority asset.
Why would the CIA send him over in person for this?
And why is all of it off the record?
I...
[PHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
Novikoff's back channels came through.
We got a line on Sergei's phone.
Service is tied to a Russian provider,
but we can track his signal with the cell towers here.
Hey, you got your laptop near you?
- Yeah. - Stand by.
- All right, got it. - All right.
Now you're seeing what we're seeing.
Sergei's been using his phone in short bursts
ever since they landed in Turkey.
You're looking at every tower hit over the last 48 hours.
His phone is only on for a few minutes at a time,
but it's enough to track the position
and frequency of these triangulations.
Check out these timestamps.
Sergei's really legging it.
He's on a moving train. Smitty, get the HNP mobilized.
If Sergei is here, there's still good chance Vlad is with him.
ID that train. We intercept at the next stop.
It's the N-40 out of Sofia.
Last phone hit was near Szeged an hour ago.
Train's already in Hungary.
He's coming right for you.

Four dead bodies at the prison,
one on the airstrip.
Guy on the train makes six.
You and Vlad have been busy.
Please, my phone.
I need my phone!
Why?
So you can check in with your co-conspirator?
We know you linked up with Vlad while he was behind bars.
What's the nature of your relationship?
Relationship?
I was nothing. A servant.
Whatever he needed inside, I would get...
phone calls, packages.
I'm in his pocket, you see?
- He paying you? - No.
Raines.
Yuri and Alexei.
My boys.
There is a man in Omsk.
I'm told he has no family, no home.
He is a killer, watching my sons,
and he waits on an order from Vladislav.
I had no choice but to cooperate.
So you helped him escape under duress?
I did what any father would do to keep his children alive!
How did you two make it this far?
He arranged for everything.
A stolen plane got us to Ankara.
From there, forged documents put us on trains.
Yeah, so Vlad needed you to smuggle him
through every checkpoint that you set up.
It's the only reason I'm still breathing.
As soon as we got to Budapest, he had no more use for me.
Yeah, he must have some refuge here in Budapest.
He been in contact with anyone?
I swear, if I knew anything, I would tell you.
You were basically his hostage for five days.
He must have said something.
Most men, when they leave prison cell,
they want three things:
a bottle of vodka, a woman, and a warm beach.
Not Vladislav.
Something else consumes him.
There is no reasoning with him.
And now that he's gone, there is no telling what he will do.
Please!
I need to know my sons are OK!
Keep it on speaker.
[LINE TRILLING]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
Yuri?
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
_
Sergei is just a cog in this.
Vlad never divulged anything about his agenda in Budapest.
We'll keep him in custody for now,
but we are back to square one.
At least Sergei's kids appear to be safe.
Maybe the fact they're brothers garnered sympathy from Vlad.
The guard was a stepping stone to get him here.
Now Vlad wants the trophy,
but he won't strike at Forrester right away.
The way some predators taunt their prey,
tiring them out first.
What, like a game?
A hunt. Big difference.
Vlad's been living with his brother's death for some time.
A plan's in motion.
If he gets to Forrester,
nothing about it will be swift.
Now that he's made it back to the city,
where do you think he's going?
Being blacklisted by Russia,
his remaining allies will quickly disappear.
But there's one group he could still go to.
The Bratva. The Russian mob.
If Vlad has any favors to cash in, it'd be with them.
They have an outfit here in Budapest.
Even if that was our way to get to Vlad,
the mob prides itself on a code.
There's no way in hell they'll talk to us.
It would have to be one of their own.
- Forrester. - Hey, what's going on?
When you first started out in Budapest,
you had an informant in Russian OC, right?
Yeah, Gregor Lebedev.
He started off as a low-level soldier,
worked his way up the chain and became an avtoritet.
It's sort of like a captain.
Sounds like someone who'd have his ear to the ground.
Are you guys putting Forrester back in play?
- Vlad's still out there. - Yeah.
And every second that passes buys him more time
to plot a better offensive.
I mean, I hate to say it, but the Bratva
might be our best shot at getting a lock on Vlad.
And for that, we need Forrester
to make contact with his old source.
You want backup, just say.
Listen, put a wire on me,
but it's best if Kellett and I handle this.
Gregor has always been a little bit jumpy.
Hey, can I talk to you two? In private?
I ran background on the passenger Vlad took out on the train.
Our DOA wasn't just some civilian.
- FSB. - Low to mid-level.
Vlad's a convict. It makes sense
that Russia's security service is hunting him too.
They knew they'd find him on the train.
It's possible they've been chasing him since the jailbreak in Siberia.
But my concern is whether someone local
has been feeding them intel.
Novikoff.
The FSB didn't mobilize until after our guest of honor
was already en route to Budapest.
How's that for timing?
You think he's playing both sides?
A defector trying to win his way back
into Russia's good graces?
In the U.S., he was 6,000 miles away from Moscow.
Here, it's a fraction of that.
Something about his arrival feels off.
We're about to send Forrester into Russian hands.
And if Novikoff is compromised, we need to know.
[COCKS GUN]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] _
I see your Russian hasn't gotten any better.
Well, it was decent enough to avoid me getting shot.
This is a nice place you got.
What, are you really pedaling back of house these days?
Nothing. This is all legit.
My own curation.
Permits, taxes, all of it.
You finally went straight.
It's not that easy to walk away from the family.
I'm finished with their ways,
but I still have to look over my shoulder.
And frankly, seeing you here makes me anxious.
I'm not trying to jam you up.
I got some trouble coming my way.
How bad?
Vladislav Pavlovic.
I know the Pavlovic brothers only by name.
As far as assassins go, they earned their reputation.
He fled Russia by the skin of his teeth.
This is a one-way ticket for him.
I just assumed he needed resources.
Well, I haven't heard of any...
- [FLOORBOARD CREAKING] - Um...
If you need my help, what else can you tell me?
Wait. You don't need a gun, OK?
- Please, you don't need a gun. - [SCREAMS]
No, no, no. Please, please, please.
This is why you wanted out of Bratva.
Say hello to Lena.
My wife.
You have a new family.
Scary proposition in this line of work.
The people we care for become our biggest liability.
Our enemies can sniff that out.
I still need your help, Gregor.
[SIGHS]
With the heat on Vlad,
if contact was made, it would be kept quiet.
As I said, I haven't heard much.
And would the Bratva come at me themselves?
Too messy.
Not a good time for our countrymen to stir the pot.
But they might have given Vlad wheels,
a safe house, weapons, under the table.
You're really the one who put Stepan Pavlovic six feet under?
That's right.
K rolyi Garden in two hours.
Meet there after I do some digging.
You do trust him, right?
Gregor has never crossed me before.
Priorities change.
He's about to have three mouths to feed.
Yeah, well, we'll know in a couple of hours.
And when Gregor said the Bratva doesn't want
to tangle with the feds, are we sure about that?
Because we have a tail.
Could be Vlad.
It's not him.
Just a crew doing his dirty work.
- Pull over. - What?
Their plates aren't local. This doesn't feel like the mob.
Is there a problem?
Thought maybe I had a busted tail light.
This man is wanted in Russia for aiding a fugitive.
We would like to escort him back.
I haven't seen him.
Have another look.
That was your colleague taken out on the train.
You two are FSB.
Given the body count being racked up,
I figured Vlad would be your first priority here.
If you do see Sergei Diatchenko,
will you let him know it's time to come home?
Why? So as soon as he touches down,
you can execute him?
Look, we both need Vlad gone.
Maybe we can help each other.
Our objectives concerning Vladislav Pavlovic
do not align.
I know you're looking for him.
Is it me, or did it sound like they wanted Vlad alive?
He's wiped out six Russians in a week,
and they're handling him with kid gloves.
What the hell is going on?
The CIA is keeping us in the dark.
My guess, it's got to do with plans for Vlad.
You think the CIA wants him alive too?
I'm sure they would love to haul in Rafferty's killer,
but what does the CIA care about even more than justice?
- Intel. - Yeah.
I think you were right.
The reason Novikoff's here in person,
it's got nothing to do with my protection.
Gregor?
[SIGHS]
Someone took out Gregor.
What? His people get to him?
Knife wound, close range.
They must have snuck up on him.
It could have been Bratva, but I don't know.
Scott, what are you doing?
You're a target in that park. Get the hell out of there.
Hang on.
I got something.
This was Vlad.
CCTV overlooking the northeast exit
caught someone leaving the park.
Now, I can't be 100% sure, but it looks like Vlad.
We lost him in the city after that.
Gregor sniffing around would have alerted him,
but clearly, the message was for us.
We accessed the thumb drive left behind.
No password or encryption.
Just three photographs stored on it.
Metadata confirms these photos were taken
on an FT-30 DSLR three weeks ago,
here in Budapest.
Vlad wants all of us to know he's had you in his crosshairs,
even from behind bars thousands of miles away.
This is his mission, not the Bratva's.
What about the numbers 17-11?
We've been crossing things off the list.
It doesn't signify a time or date.
Not an address, not a password.
- Raines has a theory. - OK.
Leviticus.
From the Old Testament.
It's been a minute since Sunday school.
The gist is,
blood is the only ordained way to atone for what you've done.
The price is paid with a life.
It all comes back to his brother.
If Vlad was locked up when these were taken,
it means he had help here long before he approached the mob.
Ansel Adams might just be a local.
If we find him, that might lead us to Vlad.
Well, the FT-30 camera has a feature
where it uploads photos to the cloud
as soon as there is a secure Wi-Fi connection.
So if those photos were synced to the internet,
I mean, the metadata can show us exactly where it happened,
and we can find our photographer.
Great. I need that info yesterday.
- Hey. - Yeah?
We have a Novikoff problem.
[SIGHS]
I know.
Come on.
We're short on time,
so let's skip to the part where you come clean.
Why are you off leash in Budapest?
Is it for the same reason the FSB wants Vlad alive?
I don't know.
Your specialty is counterintelligence.
I bet you've got a pretty good idea.
I've been in your country's custody for a year already.
Think I've been sipping Mai-Tais
and putting my toes in the sand?
They've been putting me to work.
And the more secrets I deliver to the U.S.,
- the less valuable I become. - Oh, so that's it.
If the FSB captures Vlad first,
he becomes a chip to bring you home.
This has really been a trade.
If they don't need me anymore,
I'm sure the U.S. would love to pick his brain next.
I'm guessing you'd prefer
we find Vlad before the Russians do.
Obviously, a trade with the FSB
would be very bad for a man in my shoes.
They don't forgive traitors.
We can't be your safety net this time.
Hey, we got something.
It was buried in code, but we snagged an IP address.
Vo cross-checked it with the telecom companies in town.
- And a name hit. - Aron N meth, 36 years old.
A private investigator born and raised in Budapest.
We've got an address. It's in District Six.
Raines, you're with me on this one. Come on.
[SPEAKING HUNGARIAN]
_
I don't always know who hires me for these things, OK?
We agree, they pay.
I don't ask any questions.
The prison guard said he was sending packages on behalf of Vlad.
Sergei Diatchenko. That your contact?
My business relies on discretion.
I was given your name, and I did the rest.
When the job was done, I mailed the photos on a USB.
And it didn't strike you as odd,
being asked to tail an FBI agent
and send your findings back to Russia?
I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.
Forrester.
It's all of us.
Every Fly Team member.
They paid for full surveillance...
him and his closest contacts.
