My mother died when I was four. My father was prone to violence. When I turned 18, it was straight into the army. I dunno. Maybe it was his genes coming out, but I thrived. I was a Green Beret. I was a Delta. And then I was approached by a man named McCaffrey. Former SAS. He took my training to a whole other level and recruited me into a special program. - It was a chance to do some real good. - What kind of special program? We took out the worst of the worst. Terrorists, warlords, kidnappers all over the world. Ones the government couldn't legally touch. Took out, as in...

They were all bad. - You are such a hypocrite. - All bad people. You took away the one thing I'm good at because there's fake violence, and you're a serial killer? Dad, you were working for the good guys, right? McCaffrey was a father figure. I trusted him, but I was naive. I mean, it started out legit. But he got greedy and began farming us out as mercenaries - to the highest bidder. - [sighs] And as soon as I found out, I left. All right? I fought my way out, but that meant turning against my friends, my mentor, against the only real family that I'd ever known. So they've been hunting you ever since.

- Yeah. - I am such an idiot. This is why you're so secretive, why you never wanna go anywhere. [stammers] Why-- Why you're so weird about social media. Why you're s-- you're so anti-technology. Well, with facial recognition software, I had no choice. Plus, I really do think that social media is fundamentally disgusting and gross. - [sighs] God. - But now that they found us, what happens? I got it figured out.

- Eighteen years of lies. - I'm still the man you married. - I was just something different before. - Something different? You weren't in a band or vegan, Dan. That would be something different. You were an assassin for hire. I kept the truth from you to protect you, okay? - But our love was real. - Real? Are you serious? What, was it so real that you couldn't trust me with knowing how much danger we were in?

What did you think? That I'd go blabbing about it on the-- on the moms' school text chain? - No. I-- - Or were you afraid I'd leave you, knowing who you really are? [chuckles] We were just some disguise for you, just some part of your cover as a suburban schlub? - What? No. No. - Fuck, you must have resented us. Right? Every single day, eking out a living, wiping kids' asses, driving a minivan. I love that minivan. I mean, all of a sudden you're, like, what, James Bond, and now you're what? Normal. A normal guy with a normal, wonderful, perfect life. That's all I've ever wanted. I mean, you were a decathlete. You should've medaled in Athens. Do you resent your life as a mom? Sometimes.
