There have been some other new characters introduced recently, Dubaku’s girlfriend Marika, and her sister Rosa. Marika seems sweet, and Rosa, overbearing – but they both appear to be on the side of good. Since Dubaku’s plans have swiftly come undone since the CIP device was damaged, he wants to leave the country tout de suite. He asks his boo Marika to go with him and even magnanimously invites her sister Rosa to follow along in a few days.
But he has got enough problems just trying to get his own paperwork set to leave the country. As he sits in a hotel lobby with a government mole; he looks around and realizes that mysterious folks are positioned to take him out. No gun in sight, but the scenario is clear. Dubaku tells his contact Burnett that if anything happens to him, a long list of names of all parties involved in the days events – plus bank account information – will be instantly released to the Justice Department. That quiets down Burnett.
As Marika packs to go, she and Rosa argue about “Samuel”. Rosa thinks the whole thing is wrong and that Dubaku is a sham. In the midst of the tense discussion Jack and Renee suddenly bust into the apartment, scaring the crap of out the two women and much of the viewing audience. Earlier, Jack had pulled intel out of the dead goons’ cell phones that cross-referenced an address to what they assumed was a safe house. It was a safe house until Jack and Renee came along.
So now, the bold plan is to let Marika go off with Dubaku (or his driver) and Jack and Renee will follow a safe distance behind in their car. They also outfit Marika’s cell phone with a transponder so Chloe can track her by satellite. Of course it’s Chloe doing the tracking. This is her thing. You know that little Preston O’Brian cut his teeth on protocols, satellite arrays, and refers to nap time as “going dark”
And for this job, her base station is in a conference room at the FBI. Chloe’s cover story is some nonsense about shoring up the Homeland firewall, which is exactly what Janis Gold thinks – that the task is contrived – and Chloe is really there to take her job. But curiosity killed the cat – and Marika might be next. Because Janis just had to see what was going on, she borrowed a doo-hickey* from Sean, and inserted it into another doo-hickey, saw something she shouldn’t have – and yanked aforementioned doo-hickey out and ran back to Sean to tell all.
