You left us no choice,
not when you threatened to invade our country.
No, we said give us Jalal, one man.
Your response was to target
20,000 U.S. troops.
The flight recorder, what's it gonna cost?
Ah, Saul Berenson asked that exact thing.
And what did you tell him?
Well, I told him that there is no price,
because for him, there isn't.
Saul is running an agent inside the Kremlin.
The identity of that agent is the only thing
worth more to my country than watching the United States
self-destruct on the Pakistan border.
The Special Ops team you got captured in Kohat
is being freed.
These are the guys you tricked me into giving up, remember?
You told me you learned about the president's visit
on the morning of his arrival in Kabul.
But I found out later that you actually suggested
the trip to him three days before.
It sounds like you believe I had something to do
with the president's helicopter going down.

When did that happen?
I guess while you were traveling.
It's been on all day.
As just a few days ago, President Hayes...
How many dead?
The whole team.

He is willing to trade for the identity of an agent
in the Russian government, an asset of Saul's.
So why didn't they ask Saul?
Because he'd never agree.
But you would.
I already have.
Saul was based in Berlin from 1982 to 1987,
before the wall came down.
He must have recruited the asset during that time.
That's all you've got?
Not quite.
He told me once about an exfiltration

Jalal didn't shoot down the helicopter...
It was a mechanical failure...
But Yevgeny stole it from her.

she could save the world.

It was 1986.
A guy named Andrei Kuznetsov.
Saul recruited him at a KGB language school

For some reason, the guy panicked,
and Saul had to get him out in a hurry.
The extraction got messy.
He actually lost a leg.
But he's still alive.
He is?
And living under witness protection
in Pennsylvania as Alex Surnow.
So he's-he's not the asset.
No, he can't be.
He's been stateside for 30 years.
But I think he might know something.
Why?
Saul never declared an asset out of the East again, ever.
But right around this time
is when all his intelligence coups begin,
like that Gorbachev was willing to do business with the West,
like the cover-up at Chernobyl,
like Aldrich Ames.
