She wants to know who’s in charge of Dante, but will he tell her? And will his answer be the truth? She thinks it is and informs Saul that she’s been given a “response code” to confirm that the entire Russian operation is over. She claims the government can protect Dante and informs him that Simone is gone and probably dead. She plays dumb as to the poisoning, convincing Dante that it was the Russians trying to tie up a loose end and have him killed. He’ll be there in a few hours.Ĭarrie gets to Dante first, and she’s there waiting when he wakes up.
