Hello and welcome to my fellowThe Old Manviewers.
Like many men his age, Chase is beset by nocturnal urinary issues and nightmares of his sick wife.
Harper receives a quintessential laden-with-gravitas phone call while sobbing in the bathroom.
On the other end of the line is CIA agent Raymond Waters (E.J.
Bonilla), and he needs Harpers help in a reopened case.
Back in the present day, Chase gets a call on his burner flip phone.
Its Harper, and man, oh, man, do these two have history.
Harper speculates the jets destination is Kabul, Afghanistan, where a man named Faraz Hamzad awaits.
And something tells me Abbeys real identity is wrapped up in the words Afghanistan and Faraz Hamzad.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, so why is Harper being so forthcoming?
Its not because Chase is his blood brother.
Whatever he did for, or with, Chase three decades ago wont sit well with the authorities.
Which he does immediately after hanging up.
We see Chase veering off the main road with agents eventually tracking his car to a deserted path.
Or so they thought because Chase tossed the transponder!
As the three agents sweeping the area prepare to stand down, a vehicle comes crashing out of nowhere.
Its the Old Man!
(Get used to it.
They like phone calls on this show.)
Then, in the ultimate act of defiance, Chase contacts Emily before the dead agents bodies go cold.
Another too-on-the-nose element is the characters constantly questioning who Dan Chase is.
Isnt that the whole point of a spy thriller?
Were not supposed to know everything yet!
