Drive. Drive. Just go!
Drive! Drive!
Saul? What?
It's Carrie.
- Where are you? - Headed to mellat park.
Goddamn it, Carrie.
You should be on a plane on your way to Geneva.
He went through with it, Saul. He killed akbari. Brody did.
What are you talking about?
He completed the mission after all.
- How do you know this? - Because I just spoke to him.
He called me from akbari's office.
- And you believed him? - What do you mean?
You heard me. Yes, I believed him.
'Cause if I were akbari and I'd just learned...
About a CIA. Operation in my backyard,
I'd want to drop a net over it immediately.
That's not what's happening here. You o'on 'i know that.
Where is Brody now? On his way here.
Don't dismiss the possibility that he's leading security forces...
To your location right now.
Is there even one person on the planet you trust, Saul?
You are aware what happens if you're caught?
I'm aware.
We will be forced to deny all knowledge of you.
There will be no negotiating your release.
So be it. For Christ's sake, carr/e.
Even if you're right about Brody,
he'll never make it out of Tehran.
We might if we go now. We might if you authorize the extraction plan.
You know I have to get confirmation of akbari's death first.
Then confirm it already.
Get javadi on the line.
Get out. Get out. Out, out. Get out.
Out. Go, go.
Walk, walk.
Go. Turn around.
Okay.
Give me your phone. Phone.
Phone! Give me your phone.
Come on.
Move over. I'm driving.
Jesus. You scared the shit out of me.
I had to make sure you weren't being followed.
Where are we going? To switch cars.
Mine's on the other side of the park.
Then out of the city, heading east.
East? To a safe house in garmsar.
And after that?
Then after that, it's up to Saul. Get down.
It's not a trick.
- You're a hundred-percent sure? - 700%.
Akbari's dead.
I'll be damned.
Where is he? Brody?
I don't know. Come on, Saul.
You're working on a plan to get him out of the country as we speak.
That plan was scrapped six days ago.
Good.
Because I was just put in charge of the manhunt.
Which means I need him arrested...
And in front of a magistrate by tomorrow morning.
I told you I don't know where he is.
I don't think you appreciate the situation here.
The longer he eludes us, the weaker I look...
And the less chance I have of being chosen to replace akbari.
He's with Carrie, isn't he?
That's why you're acting so damn cage y.
Listen to me.
You and I have to consider the worst-case scenario here.
Which is what? That he and Carrie are captured together.
Once that happens, I lose the ability to control events on the ground.
Tell me where he is,
and at least I can protect your girl.
I'll get back to you.
Well?
The man's persuasive. What can I say?
So you'd give them up?
I would.
Even after what Brody managed to do today?
I guess I'd weigh that against the likelihood...
Of him and Carrie making it to the safe house at all.
Saul, it's your last full day as director.
You might want to take your foot off the gas.
Initiate the extraction plan.
I was born in the desert.
You were?
In the mojave.
It's where my old man was stationed...
At the air ground combat center there.
I can't believe I didn't know that.
At least he's not around anymore.
All this would've broke his heart.
Okay.
How much further?
About 50 miles or so.
I need a bathroom. Over there.
[ Sighs 1
We have breaking news right now out of /ran,
where ir/b TV is reporting the assassination...
Of general danesh akbari
the ranking officer in /ran's revolutionary guard ..
And leader of the ouds force.
- Scott. - Details are still unconfirmed...
What's it gonna be— Afghanistan or Turkey?
Devgru's pulling together an extraction team...
From a squadron based in herat, Afghanistan.
Show me.
I got 16 men, four helos...
Two black hawks and two chinooks.
Black hawks enter Iranian airspace here.
Initial flight plan has them diverting north at torbat-e heydarieh,
skirting the great salt desert,
making their way directly down this ridgeline to Carrie's coordinates.
Total flying time from the base? Approximately 210 minutes.
And the chinooks?
I assume they're staying on the Afghan side to provide support.
In case the black hawks get into trouble...
And/or the seals have to fight their way out of Iran.
I don't like the sound of that. Neither does jsoc.
I mean, the operation— It's basically unrehearsed.
Iran's border installations likely include...
The latest Chinese anti-stealth radar technology.
I'll let the director know your concerns.
Would that still be Mr. Berenson?
Or is that now Mr. Lockhart?
That would still be Mr. Berenson for another...
11 hours and 10 minutes.
Thanks.
It got cold fast. It did.
We could be here a couple days at least.
There are worse places.
You want to tell me what's going on with you?
I just took a man's life today, Carrie.
He was a bad guy, Brody.
Yeah, I get that. Worse than bad.
He sent kids, chained together— Tens of thousands of them...
Into the Iraqi lines, often to clear minefields.
Hefio.
You and Brody at the safe house?
We are. You were fight about him.
He did what he said
tell him ”well done. ” I will.
I'm gonna do what I said— Get him out safely.
I'm scrambling a recovery team now.
Thank you, Saul.
If all goes well, they should be at your location before sunrise.
Well, we'll be waiting.
I myself am leaving for Germany in the morning.
- See you at ramstein. - See you there.
You asleep? No.
That was Saul.
They're getting us out tonight.
That was fast.
He wanted me to tell you “well done.”
Whatever that means.
It means a lot coming from him.
So what happens next?
What do you mean? When we get home.
What happens next?
I don't know.
What do you want to happen?
Honestly,
I never expected to get this far.
So I try not to think about it.
I've thought about it.
There was this man in Caracas.
He was a doctor.
He called me a cockroach...
Unkillable, bringing misery wherever I go.
That's harsh. But accurate.
This was about redemption— mine.
You said so yourself.
What a fucking joke. It was about redemption.
In what universe can you redeem one murder by committing another?
You're a marine, Brody. The rules are different.
I'm a lot of things,
but I'm not a marine anymore.
I haven't been for some time.
You were asked to do a mission on behalf of your country, and you did it.
Is that what you tell yourself? That's what I believe.
Wind us up and point us in a direction?
If that's what you think, why'd you agree to do it in the first place?
That is becoming less and less fucking clear.
[ Sighs 1
I'm pregnant. What?
I'm four months' pregnant, from our time at the lake.
Carrie, Jesus.
As if things couldn't get more complicated, right?
You should have said something. I'm saying it now.
- Hey. Hey. - Don't. Look.
I don't know what happens back home either...
What kind of a life we have or don't have,
whether it's together or apart.
But there will be a life.
And I'm not sorry about that, not for one single second.
Because I happen to believe one of the reasons I was put on this earth...
Was for our paths to cross.
And, yeah, I know how crazy that sounds.
- Are you through yet? - No.
1 sighs 1
yes.
'Cause I don't think that sounds crazy at all.
I think it sounds like the only sane fucking thing left to hold onto.
Well, okay then.
Hey. Wake up.
They're here. Come on. Hurry.
Hello?
- Brody, run! - Get down now!
Lie flat. Hands behind your head.
Brody! Brody!
Be quiet.
Listen to me.
- I know colonel javadi. Majid javadi. - I said be quiet.
Would you just call him before you do anything else?
- There's no need to call anybody. - But there is. Please...
The colonel is aware. What?
Hello.
Tell me what just happened was part of the fucking plan.
Hold on a minute. Can I have the room for a second?
What's the matter, Carrie? What's going on?
They just came and took Brody away.
Who did? Quds force operatives. Javadi's men.
Well? Would somebody please tell me what the fuck is happening here?
Fucking pussies, all of you.
Who called javadi?
Who ordered the helos back to herat?
I did. On whose authority?
The president's.
You're out, Saul. I'm the director now.
I didn't have a choice. Bullshit.
The choice was to stonewall till Brody got out of Iran.
Even if I thought that was a mistake? He's an asset.
We promised him safe passage.
It's a sentimental idea, Saul. Always has been.
That we're loyal to our people? That our people come before the mission.
Brody arrested is better for us than Brody back in america.
And better for javadi's chances to head the I.R.G.C.
Actually, it's your legacy we're trying to protect, Saul.
My legacy? Is that right?
Honestly, I don't know what the fuck we're doing here anymore.
1 sighs 1
Where were you going?
Not to the airport, I'm guessing. No.
To the uncle's house— Masud sherazi? To hide out?
You found a sympathetic ear there?
Don't you dare do anything to harm him.
No. You misunderstand me.
Do I?
You have from the very beginning.
I think you of all people would understand...
That no one is just one thing.
Where's Brody?
In evin prison.
I need to see him.
You can't. No one can.
He appeared this morning before a military tribunal...
Where he was sentenced to death by hanging.
What? I'm afraid so.
Declared an enemy of the state.
You're insane if you think that's gonna happen. You have to stop it.
It's out of my hands, Carrie.
A public execution is scheduled for tonight.
Tonight? Tomorrow, to be precise.
At 4:00 am.
Just before the call to morning prayer.
Well, you find a fucking way!
Or what?
What will you do, Carrie? Burn it all down?
Everything you worked for?
And I don't mean what the CIA. Has worked for.
I mean you.
The plan is a success.
You and Brody pulled it off.
Not if he dies.
More so if he dies.
I asked myself over and over,
from the moment I knew what you've gone through...
The hardship, the self-abnegation— To lure me in.
Why? Why would anyone do that to themselves?
Why would you?
And I think I know now.
It was always about him.
That's what you care about.
Maybe the only thing.
Who Brody is...
That's for Allah to know.
But what he did...
There can be no debate.
It was astonishing and undeniable.
And what you wanted...
Which was for everyone to see in him what you see...
That has happened.
Everyone sees him through your eyes now.
Saul, Lockhart,
the president of the United States.
Even me.
Take me to him. I can't.
Please.
He's at peace...
In his cell.
A kind of peace.
Let that be.
At least let me talk to him.
A phone call— two minutes. All I'm asking for...
Is two minutes.
Hello?
I want you to know I'm calling Saul as soon as I hang up.
He's gonna fix this cluster fuck. He's gonna bring in every...
Carrie. Carrie, it's over.
Yeah. No.
Not even the almighty Saul can stop it now.
No, you don't know that.
You're wasting your time.
Holding out false hope isn't helping anyone.
I want it to be over.
- Don't say that. - I'm okay.
I really am.
And I want you to do something for me.
Anything.
Tonight, whatever happens, I don't want you to be there.
I mean it. Brody...
Don't put yourself through that.
I have to be there. I will be there.
I have to say good-bye now.
Brody? Brody.
Can-can you ju...
Can you just stay here?
Just... for— Just for a few more seconds.
Hello?
Saul.
I know. I just heard.
Is there anything you can do?
Believe me, I wish there was. There must be something.
I don't even work here anymore.
Plus, the president's weighed in.
What about amnesty international or-or human rights watch?
You know it's way too late for any of that.
Oh, god!
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my god.
Let's go back.
Brody! Brody!
Brody!
What did you bring me?
They were out of baguettes, so I got croissants instead.
I did. Did you see this?
What do you think?
I think we should buy this place and never leave.
“In a stunning development at the Geneva summit,
Iranian diplomats have offered I.A.E.A. Inspectors...
Full and unfettered access to the regime's nuclear sites...
In exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.”
Saul.
This is you. You did this.
Not just me.
It's unbelievable. It's your whole life.
It's your crowning achievement.
Well, it cost me my career.
Well, yeah, but it's a hell of a way to go out.
Come with me to Washington.
I told you I'm gonna go to New York.
I'm gonna set up the apartment.
It's only gonna be for a couple days.
I'm not setting foot in that building.
Neither should you after the way they treated you.
It's the annual commemorative ceremony.
We've got 132 new stars to put up on that wall.
Did you make a plan to see Carrie?
I called a couple times. I left messages.
I never heard back. Hmm. Strange.
She's probably just busy. You know how it is.
Youcangormhtm. He's waiting for you. Thank you.
Carrie. Mr. Director.
Please, have a seat.
You look well. If large.
I assume we lose you to maternity leave soon.
I'll probably need a few hours off.
That is some news coming out of Geneva.
It's amazing. Saul was right.
Javadi's proven immensely successful...
At influencing Iranian policy at the highest levels.
One thing about saul— He's usually right.
I couldn't keep him on, Carrie. I hope you understand why.
Maybe we can agree to disagree on that.
That's funny. What?
“Agree to disagree.” that's exactly how he would've put it.
Back to javadi though.
Have you done any thinking about what we discussed last week?
I have, and you're right.
My being in Istanbul would make running javadi easier.
It's arguably the premier posting in the region.
And you'd be station chief— The youngest in the history of the agency.
- Can I handpick my people? - Up to a point.
I'd like you to keep Tony shadid on as deputy...
In order to smooth the transition.
- I can live with that. - Then you're in?
- I'm in. - Excellent.
Excefient
We'll discuss a timeline over the next few weeks.
Great.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Um, sir? Yes?
About the commemorative ceremony on Friday.
What about it?
I think Nicholas Brody deserves a star.
He fulfills the criteria, sir.
Putting aside your personal connection to him.
He was an agency asset who died while serving his country.
I'll stop you there. Heroically, in my opinion.
First of all, he wasn't technically an employee of the CIA.
Well— technically? Come on.
Second of all, his actions previous to the Tehran mission...
Cast a long shadow.
Sir, he was a us. Marine who was captured...
And tortured for eight years.
Who are we to stand in judgment?
No one's judging him.
I'm just not memorializing him on the walls of this building.
That's where I draw the line.
Is this going to be an ongoing problem between us?
No, sir.
We'll have to see. I don't know.
Hey, I gotta go.
Can I have one of those?
Just give me one. I won't light it.
Something ailing you?
Lockhart. What'd he do— besides fuck over Saul?
He just gave me istanbul— Station chief.
Holy crap. I know.
That's bad?
This is bad.
It's a little late for second thoughts. Yeah, no shit.
So what's bad about it?
I just didn't think it through.
I wanted it because of Brody, to have a part of him.
I think they call that love.
It took getting this far to the fucking end game to realize it's...
Why? It's impossible.
Quinn, I can't be a mother. Because?
Because of me, because of my job, because of...
My problems. Everyone has problems.
I'll be a great station chief.
I'll be fearless, obsessed, ruthless if I have to be.
All the same reasons I— I can't...
That kid is a gift.
You have one, right?
I fucked it up.
And it would be really sad to see you do the same thing.
Ff
Why do you even bother? You order the same thing every time.
I know I do, but, in my heart,
I want to spread my wings and soar.
Get a grip.
All hail. Please.
It's all anybody in the building's talking about...
Iran opening its fist.
You know what they're calling you?
The maestro.
We got lucky. Very lucky.
Yeah. Meanwhile, senator Lockhart will be dining out on our luck...
For the rest of his natural-born life.
I'm only surprised he didn't shitcan you too. Ah.
You have all the qualifications— Experience, loyalty, discretion.
You're better off in the private sector, no doubt about it.
Come join me. I don't think so.
You sure? One phone call— Triple your salary.
Nah, I'm a lifer.
Door's always open if you change your mind.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were missing us already.
Yeah, you are. And you'd come back, wouldn't you,
if Lockhart came begging?
Never.
In a heartbeat.
So what can I get you?
He'll have a plain waffle. Hold the whipped butter.
He'll have the same.
Two old schools coming up.
Hey.
- Hey. - Hello there.
- Carrie? - Hi. I forgot you were coming.
Oh. We got all of Maggie's old stuff,
including the world's heaviest crib.
Gosh, that's a lot of... things.
Yeah, it seems like it, but you end up needing all of it, so...
What's this?
It's a bjorn. It's easy. It is?
Yeah. She sleeps right here, against your chest.
It's like a reverse backpack.
Huh.
- You'll get the hang of it. - Do you have a rocking chair?
I was thinking I would make a rocking chair.
- Make it? - I need a project.
I'm antsy, you know, waiting for this girl.
So, how was the ultrasound?
It was good. Yeah. Mmm.
She said the baby's perfect.
That should be a good thing, right?
Maggie, I'm not gonna need your stuff.
Why?
I'm moving... to Istanbul.
You're moving to Istanbul? When?
Soon. Right after she's born.
Will she come with you in the bjorn?
I can't keep her.
- That's what I'm saying. - Don-don't you say that.
It's sick, I know, but— I can't.
Yes, you can.
Come on. You guys know better than anyone how bad it gets with me.
Carrie, I've been thinking about this a lot.
I think she's going to ground you...
Make you focus, be healthy.
And I think you will be astonished...
By the love you have for her.
- There's no sign of that. - There will be.
No, really. I...
I don't feel love.
All I feel...
Is scared.
Two tours in Baghdad, now a baby is bringing you to your knees?
Yeah. Yeah.
Can we just take this day by day?
You are not leaving this kid, not like your mother did to you!
You don't want her?
I'll take her.
What?
- You would do that? - Bet your life.
Okay, everybody, slow down.
Can we please just see how you fee! After the baby's born?
Scared is how I feel.
I know.
And...
And sad.
I'm so fucking sad.
Matthew Rogers.
Amanda Salazar.
Anne Schofield.
Henry Stinson.
Katherine Sullivan.
Kenneth unger.
Cynthia volk.
And Vanessa wendenberg.
No matter when or where they served,
no matter if their names are known to the world or only to us,
each cherished colleague...
Remains a constant source of inspiration and courage.
They all heard the same call to duty,
and they all answered it without hesitation.
They are... our heroes.
They are america's heroes.
And that's how we'll remember them.
I ask for a moment of silence.
Thank you. That concludes the ceremony.
The reception will be held in the upstairs lobby.
Thank you so much. [Woman I thank you, Mr. Director.
Beautiful job. Good luck. Thanks.
I'm gonna sit here a while.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Hey, Tom.
- Hey. - Hey.
He gives a nice speech.
He's a politician.
How are you? Okay.
I heard about Istanbul.
Oh. Word gets around.
It's wonderful.
It's what you always wanted.
You deserve it.
That's just wrong. That's plain wrong.
How many times you heard me say it?
When it's over, it's over. Pull down the shades and go home.
But you won, Saul.
You won.
Did I?
I guess I did.
Carrie? There's a situation.
The director's asking for you on ops 4.
Saul.
Well, you're needed.
Good luck in New York.
Take care.
Good-bye.
Bob, thank you.
Om.
