Redial

## Episode Guide

**Redial** is the second episode of the first season of The Night Agent.

## Synopsis

After looking for a link between the Campbells and the FBI, Peter is forced to go on the run with Rose in search of a hard drive — and more answers.

## Plot

Three months ago, Rose gives an interview about her cybersecurity company. She has to leave for a call from Lawrence Finster, her biggest client, who is panicking because his company has been hacked. She runs to talk with Hadim, a coder, who tells her someone messed with the code on their end. She realizes it's Adam and tries to fix it.

Now, Hawkins grills Rose for answers, convinced she isn't telling them the truth. He accuses Rose of being involved in what happened or at least dishonest. Peter listens from the hallway. Farr insists they're on the same side. Rose calls Hawkins an asshole and storms out. Peter asks how it went and Hawkins insists Rose is hiding something. Farr agrees but hopes Peter can get her to talk. They have a car outside that will take her to a hotel where she'll be under Secret Service surveillance. Rose, who is back, insists on walking, so Peter escorts her. When they're gone, Hawkins tells Farr he doesn't like Peter being near a witness as he doesn't have the training. Farr doesn't underestimate Peter and believes he can do this.

Peter and Rose walk together as he asks about her plan. It's to stay alive for as long as possible. She only trusts Peter to a degree. Someone in the White House wants her dead and if they know she can ID the guy who killed her aunt and uncle that makes her a bigger target. His life might be at stake now too.

They arrive at the hotel and Peter shows her the room. He asks her to stay out of sight. She can order anything from room service, has a mini bar, and agents guarding her. She doesn't have any books or a laptop to read. She's just stuck there. He suggests she work on her pool game. He then assures her they'll get the guys after her. He has to work and prepares to leave. She's surprised and wonders if this is goodbye forever. The Secret Service guys will be better at protecting her than he is. She thinks he did okay. He returns the sentiment. She thanks him and gives him a hug. He leaves and tells the agents to take care of Rose. He goes to the lobby and passes a book stand. He selects a few and has the front desk send them up to Rose's room. Peter asks they tell her they're from Peter.

Ellen and Dale drive as she wonders what is in the bag they stole. He used to be curious but isn't anymore. They talk until they're pulled over a cop for speeding. She reaches for her gun but he stops her, preferring she take her ticket.

Peter arrives at the White House and heads to Farr's office. He didn't get anything new out of Rose. Hawkins, Almora, and Briggs arrive as Farr gives a briefing. The Campbells worked for the FBI recruiting foreign assets domestically. If they had Rose call Night Action, that means they were working something off the books. Almora and Briggs want Secret Service to step-in, but Hawkins gruffly refuses. He wants to take another crack at Rose. Peter worries she's been traumatized enough. Hawkins snaps at Peter so Farr reasons with him. She disbands the meeting, but tells Peter to read the Campbells files and find a reason they were targeted. He worries he doesn't have clearance, but she is ready for him to do more. She needs him to do whatever is possible to keep Rose Larkin safe. Farr's been training him for a year, but wasn't sure for what, until now.

Peter finds Liam in the basement and asks about the screenshot of the ring he sent last night. The sigil in the ring is close to the family crest from the Royal House of Yugoslavia. He's guessing the original owner is a distant relative of the crowned prince. Peter asks him to do more research on it, but Liam is busy. Peter can't tell Liam more as it's above his clearance. Peter clocks into Night Action.

Rose is reading in the hotel room and steps outside.

Farr drinks tea from her assistant and answers a call from Peter. Peter reveals that Hawkins was Emma and Henry Campbell's old FBI handler. They've known each other for years. She tells him to keep this between them and send her the files Hawkins worked on with the Campbells. Peter hangs up and goes back to work when the phone rings. He answers and Rose is on the other end. She couldn't sleep and remembered the number. She needed to hear a voice and doesn't have anyone. He's there for her. They talk about Night Action phone calls and exchange witty banter. She asks what happens next with her. He wishes that he knew.

Dale and Ellen are in their hotel room. She's obsessing over what's in the bag and decides to open it. It's a stuffed elephant nanny cam. Dale answers a call from Gordon Wick and a Mystery Man. They want the couple to kill Rose.

Mystery Man and Wick discuss Ellen and Dale.

Peter and Rose talk on the phone about their previous aspirations. She starts to fall asleep, which he notes is a good thing. She tells him how lonely she is. He agrees to have breakfast with her tomorrow after his shift.

Farr comes into her office and greets her secretary Val, who informs her of the squatter on her couch. Farr kicks Peter's shoe to wake him up. He hands her the files and marked up the files that might have a connection. He can't sleep because he has to meet Rose of breakfast, which Farr is happy about. They're forming a connection.

Peter enters the hotel but notices the Secret Service agents are gone. The power goes out in the building, so Peter takes the stairs to Rose's floor. He clears the hall and finds Rose inside. The lock on her door doesn't work so they escape together.

Ellen, posing as housekeeping, knocks on Rose's door. She tells Dale that Rose isn't there.

Rose spots Dale in the stairwell and he shoots at her. Peter returns fire then helps Rose over the railings. They end up in a conference room where a shootout occurs. Peter and Rose manage to get out but are followed by Dale. They hide in a room as Peter knocks out the glass window panes, devising a plan to get them out of the situation since he's out of bullets. He stands on a glass ledge but falls through. He encourages her to jump next, and she decides to jump to distribute her weight better. He breaks her fall and they run away, narrowly escaping Dale.

Ellen leaves the hotel in a new disguise.

Peter and Rose enter a boutique so she can get some clothes. She's only in a bathrobe. She steals one of the customer's phones, something Peter notices. Once in the changing room, she gives the phone to Peter to find out who pulled her security.

Val tells Farr about a call from Peter. He debriefs her on the situation. She puts him on speaker with Farr, Almora, and Briggs. Almora finds an order telling the agents to disengage. They realize Director Hawkins also has the power to do that. Briggs can't reach Hawkins. Peter refuses to tell Farr where they are until she can prove they have things under control. He's doing whatever is needed to protect Rose, hanging up. Rose wants to figure out what her aunt and uncle were hiding.

Rose takes Peter to her aunt and uncle's house. She sees the spots where they died and tells Peter about her childhood in the home. She wants to get the people who did this and so does he. Rose admits she didn't tell him everything she heard her aunt and uncle talking about that night. She realizes he's really on her side and tells him as Osprey. She starts rummaging to find what they hid. He tells her to use her excellent memory to remember what else they said. She remembers her aunt saying they had seven days before "it" happened. They deduce that her uncle said "the drive in the woods" not "a drive". He tells her to get shoes and clothes.

Hawkins visits Wick.

Rose and Peter drive to her uncle Ron's cabin in the woods. Her aunt and uncle kept the cabin as a place to find peace. He just wants to keep her safe while the FBI figures things out. He promises the stint at the hotel won't happen again. After a while, they arrive at the cabin and begin searching for the drive.

Ellen and Dale return to the hotel and she screams in frustration. He tells her to be patient. She doesn't like losing and wishes she thought more like him. She loves him with everything, and he loves her too. They have sex until Wick calls with orders.

Rose and Peter's search is fraught, though they have a fire to keep warm. Peter finds a loose rock in the fireplace and carves it out. He finds a hard drive hidden inside. She hooks it up to her computer but it has protection she can't get around. She compares it to national-security level. All they have is a file with the name 2781. Peter knows that's the number of the metro train, meaning her aunt and uncle were investigating it. Peter calls Night Action to contact Farr. He learns Hawkins ordered it from a computer in his office, but Hawkins's body was found in a field in Maryland, murdered. Peter tells Farr about the hard drive and its connection the bombing. She orders him to come in with Rose and the hard drive.
