Hi.
Chief of Staff Swanstrom wants us to conference.
Victory lap, Val.
Great news all around.
The president was thrilled to hear it.
All of your targets are in this photo.
If you don't work for Elena Fedorova,
who do you work for?
We keep hearing the name Belok.
They're a crime family.
Enemies of Elena Fedorova? Snow White?
If you had the chance, would you forgive Isaac Bigby

Now piss off before I call a cop.
Pathetic.

Seven guards.
Secure the entrances and the perimeter.

Everyone in that photograph's been taken out.

That blurry shape is called "The Ghost."
CIA?

I've only ever heard him mentioned once--
an investigation I was involved in.
A sheik and his American family
were killed in a gas leak in Qatar.
Rumors were they were actually murdered
by a deep-cover operative.
"The Ghost."
I was just out of Quantico.

Have you ever heard of "The Ghost?"
CIA operative.
Wet Work specialist. Fedorova says he's behind this?
Techs could never identify who that was.
That's bad news.
The Ghost fell off the map after going rogue.
Killed two marines.
Means he won't hesitate to come after any of us,
unless Fedorova was trying to taunt us
because this could still be an escape attempt.
The holding cells in the basement,
with the two Snow White lieutenants?
They operate on an electronic system too.
Meaning either the EMP fused those cells shut...
Or disabled the locks entirely.
All right, go sit on Fedorova. I'll check the cells.
Louie, what is this? It's not the plan.
No. [electricity crackling]

Power outage.

At 11:00 p.m.?
Mm-hmm.
Keep at that code. I'm going to take a ride.
The Ghost. Tell me what you know about him.
His real name is Lucas Crowe.
He works for the CIA Special Activities Division.
Black Ops.
He's a kind, gentle man
that orchestrated the bombing of my wedding.
He's your last target.
We had plans for him today. This wasn't it.
My guess is he caught on to what was happening
with his partners,
and instead of waiting for Snow White to come to him,
he decided to come to Snow White.
And you're his primary target?
We'll see.
Until then, tell me.
What did you think about me when we first met?
This is not a sleepover.
It kind of is.
You're welcome to borrow my pajamas if you want.
Isn't that what friends do?
Something tells me you haven't had very many friends.
I used to have a friend once.
Her name was Natalia.
Used to?
Sounds promising.
I learned a lot from her.
