1
00:00:06,049 --> 00:00:09,552
I've just learned that President Rayburn,
2
00:00:09,552 --> 00:00:13,014
who had pledged his support
in a rather complex mission
3
00:00:13,014 --> 00:00:14,724
rescuing our men and women at sea,
4
00:00:14,724 --> 00:00:16,392
saw fit to revoke that promise.
5
00:00:16,392 --> 00:00:19,353
We are talking
to every intelligence service on the map.
6
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:21,731
We're not talking to Iranian intelligence.
7
00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:24,442
You need to officially summon
the Iranian ambassador.
8
00:00:24,442 --> 00:00:26,360
- They have intel for us.
- Us?
9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,114
When you asked for help,
you did realize that I would then help?
10
00:00:30,114 --> 00:00:32,784
- Ambassador Hajjar, this is--
- I know who it is.
11
00:00:32,784 --> 00:00:36,329
- Nobody knows the ambassador's here.
- I was instructed to give you a name.
12
00:00:36,329 --> 00:00:39,749
An individual who appears
to have directed the attack.
13
00:00:39,749 --> 00:00:41,334
[Kate] Ambassador, are you okay?
14
00:00:42,418 --> 00:00:43,252
Call his guy.
15
00:00:43,252 --> 00:00:44,420
You can't be here.
16
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:46,798
It's the fucking Russians.
17
00:00:46,798 --> 00:00:49,383
The United Kingdom got attacked by Russia.
18
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:51,469
- Why is that funny?
- Pour me another.
19
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:54,931
- Oh. I'm a bloody idiot.
- No, it's fine.
20
00:01:12,198 --> 00:01:14,200
[cutlery clinking]
21
00:01:25,837 --> 00:01:28,756
If we go to war with Russia,
we should get a dog.
22
00:01:29,465 --> 00:01:30,967
[Eidra] For protection?
23
00:01:30,967 --> 00:01:32,093
No.
24
00:01:32,093 --> 00:01:34,762
U.S. and the UK go to war with Russia?
25
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:37,807
That's the kind of thing
where people have babies.
26
00:01:39,559 --> 00:01:41,269
'Cause it's apocalyptic.
27
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:42,895
Babies are life-affirming.
28
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:48,150
- Are you asking me to have a--?
- No.
29
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:49,569
No.
30
00:01:49,569 --> 00:01:51,320
That's the whole point.
31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,531
We're a new thing.
We are not having a baby.
32
00:01:53,531 --> 00:01:55,616
But a dog?
33
00:01:56,784 --> 00:01:59,537
Are you asking me to move in with you?
34
00:01:59,537 --> 00:02:00,454
No.
35
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:03,624
The dog can live half-time here,
half-time my place.
36
00:02:08,004 --> 00:02:09,172
I'm getting a fish.
37
00:02:10,006 --> 00:02:11,299
{\an8}[cell phone buzzing]
38
00:02:12,842 --> 00:02:14,719
{\an8}The president wants to come to Chevening.
39
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:16,262
{\an8}- What?
- It was Russia.
40
00:02:16,262 --> 00:02:18,347
{\an8}They don't wanna
leave the planning to Ganon.
41
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:19,974
No, no, no.
42
00:02:19,974 --> 00:02:22,560
The White House sees this
as an indirect hit on the U.S.
43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,605
If Rayburn comes, Trowbridge comes.
44
00:02:25,605 --> 00:02:28,983
{\an8}The whole point is
that we hash out the Russia policy,
45
00:02:28,983 --> 00:02:30,484
secretary to secretary,
46
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:32,987
and then we send it up the ladder,
fully baked.
47
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:34,822
Hi, Lindsay.
48
00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:36,574
Can you put Karen on?
49
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:37,491
Thanks.
50
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:40,661
You're gonna be a nervous parent.
Even to a fish.
51
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:41,787
Karen, hi.
52
00:02:41,787 --> 00:02:45,750
Listen, the president should not be
getting on a plane right now.
53
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,336
We have Ganon and the foreign secretary,
54
00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:51,839
that's enough Level 1 targets
in one place at one time.
55
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:53,174
It's not safe, right?
56
00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:54,467
We can make it safe.
57
00:02:55,051 --> 00:02:56,844
Will you fucking help me out?
58
00:02:58,054 --> 00:03:00,681
Guess who just popped in the office.
Hold on.
59
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:03,684
Karen?
60
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,353
Hi, it's Eidra Park.
61
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:08,856
I know, I never see you anymore.
How are you?
62
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:09,857
Seriously?
63
00:03:12,026 --> 00:03:14,028
Kar, this stays in the vault,
64
00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:17,615
but you know the Iranian ambassador
who died here yesterday?
65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,784
Tox screen isn't back yet.
66
00:03:19,784 --> 00:03:22,578
Which means we can't rule out poisoning.
67
00:03:22,578 --> 00:03:25,581
No, the foreign secretary
didn't poison him,
68
00:03:25,581 --> 00:03:28,417
but the Russians could have
before he even got to the office.
69
00:03:28,417 --> 00:03:29,627
Wait, really?
70
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:33,673
I'm just saying
that until we know what's going on,
71
00:03:33,673 --> 00:03:36,801
I think I'd feel better
if the president was in D.C.
72
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,972
Yes.
73
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:47,520
Hmm.
74
00:03:54,443 --> 00:03:56,153
Did you tell them to do this?
75
00:03:56,988 --> 00:03:57,822
What?
76
00:03:57,822 --> 00:04:00,574
- They packed me.
- Yeah, of course they did.
77
00:04:01,242 --> 00:04:02,076
They--
78
00:04:03,202 --> 00:04:04,745
They packed me tampons.
79
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:05,955
They think ahead.
80
00:04:06,998 --> 00:04:10,376
Eight supers, four lights, and Advil.
81
00:04:10,376 --> 00:04:14,046
They know where I am
on my fucking moon cycle.
82
00:04:19,885 --> 00:04:22,596
Russia doesn't wanna go to war with us
and the Brits, right?
83
00:04:24,181 --> 00:04:26,017
I have no idea what they want.
84
00:04:27,018 --> 00:04:28,853
They framed Iran.
85
00:04:28,853 --> 00:04:30,771
Did they want us to go to war with Iran?
86
00:04:32,231 --> 00:04:33,232
They're tricky.
87
00:04:36,569 --> 00:04:38,821
I don't love people touching my stuff,
88
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:40,573
but they do a very nice job.
89
00:04:41,157 --> 00:04:42,575
And so it begins.
90
00:04:42,575 --> 00:04:43,492
What?
91
00:04:43,492 --> 00:04:45,453
You're gonna get used to this.
92
00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:46,871
No, I am not.
93
00:04:46,871 --> 00:04:48,205
Well...
94
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:51,709
They should pack you while we're gone.
Then you'll just be ready to go.
95
00:04:51,709 --> 00:04:54,086
Look at that. You think ahead too.
96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,049
What?
97
00:04:58,049 --> 00:04:59,050
Nothing.
98
00:05:03,387 --> 00:05:06,223
Is there a talk we're supposed to have?
99
00:05:08,184 --> 00:05:09,060
No.
100
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:10,728
- Shit.
- No.
101
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:17,777
Thank you for fucking me.
102
00:05:17,777 --> 00:05:19,862
No, I don't think it changes
103
00:05:19,862 --> 00:05:22,823
the fundamental non-viability
of our marriage.
104
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:25,659
At no point did I think it did, okay?
105
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:26,619
It was selfish.
106
00:05:26,619 --> 00:05:29,705
Well, if that's what selfish looks like...
107
00:05:30,456 --> 00:05:33,042
- You don't have to come to this thing.
- Get over yourself.
108
00:05:33,042 --> 00:05:33,959
We're done.
109
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,463
I'm arm candy
for the first tranche of photo ops,
110
00:05:37,463 --> 00:05:39,215
then I drift off as planned.
111
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:42,843
Doesn't mean you can't come back
to the trough every now and then.
112
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:45,679
I just...
113
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:48,933
I don't want things to be unclear.
114
00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:50,351
Katherine...
115
00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:54,313
only you can ruin
a perfectly good, wordless roll
116
00:05:54,313 --> 00:05:56,315
in the ashes of a dead union.
117
00:05:58,025 --> 00:05:59,110
Okay.
118
00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:00,236
Good.
119
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:16,043
[sheep bleating]
120
00:06:18,921 --> 00:06:22,341
[Stuart] It's the foreign secretary's
fucking country bunker.
121
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:24,593
We don't need
another sweep of the property,
122
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:27,054
we need to get
the ambassador there on time.
123
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,431
Mr. McNabb says
we can't ignore the possibility
124
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:31,058
of a threat from inside the house.
125
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:33,394
Is he worried about Dennison?
126
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:37,773
You tell him if he is worried
about the foreign secretary,
127
00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:39,900
he is way over the fucking line.
128
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,902
We don't frisk our allies.
129
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:43,946
He says the foreign secretary is our ally.
130
00:06:43,946 --> 00:06:45,447
That is not what I said.
131
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:50,244
Mr. McNabb reiterates the ambassador's
safety is his area of expertise.
132
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:51,245
I know that.
133
00:06:51,245 --> 00:06:55,166
He also wishes to remind you the last time
the foreign secretary met with a diplomat,
134
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:57,543
- that diplomat wound up in a body bag.
- Just tell--
135
00:06:57,543 --> 00:07:00,838
[Byron] Until we get the chemical tests
back, we'll proceed with every caution.
136
00:07:00,838 --> 00:07:02,298
Give me the phone.
137
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,678
Bert, this is utter bullshit.
138
00:07:08,679 --> 00:07:09,513
Bert?
139
00:07:11,432 --> 00:07:13,267
- I'm calling State.
- Outside.
140
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:28,282
Dennison was there.
141
00:07:28,282 --> 00:07:30,826
Officially, I was too, at the very end.
142
00:07:30,826 --> 00:07:34,538
So until they find out if it was Novichok
or high blood pressure,
143
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:36,373
they have every right to be concerned.
144
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:37,958
Okay. I'm just...
145
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:38,876
Anxious.
146
00:07:39,877 --> 00:07:40,711
Not at all.
147
00:07:41,504 --> 00:07:43,005
I'm okay at this part.
148
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:44,590
I suck at a garden party.
149
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:46,091
But real negotiations?
150
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:49,178
I know. I am completely
confident in your ability--
151
00:07:49,178 --> 00:07:50,262
Really?
152
00:07:50,262 --> 00:07:51,180
Yes.
153
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:52,598
I don't think you are.
154
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:55,601
Did you read the agenda?
155
00:07:55,601 --> 00:07:56,644
Of course I did.
156
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:03,108
It's really long.
157
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:05,569
I would never give an ambassador
a briefing book
158
00:08:05,569 --> 00:08:07,613
without a one-pager in the front.
159
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:09,114
It doesn't get read.
160
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:10,991
- Short enough?
- Better.
161
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:13,661
- This is tomorrow's agenda.
- Okay.
162
00:08:13,661 --> 00:08:16,455
- The day will consist of three parts.
- Mm-hm.
163
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:19,625
Today you will strategize
with the British delegation
164
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:22,127
how to maximize those three parts
165
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:24,713
so we can make the most
of the foreign secretary's time
166
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,173
with the secretary of state
167
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,092
and walk out with a Russia strategy.
168
00:08:28,092 --> 00:08:30,427
Why don't you just give me the card?
169
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:32,805
- Can we talk through it?
- Let me see what it says.
170
00:08:32,805 --> 00:08:34,890
It's notes from me to me. It won't help.
171
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:35,891
Let me see.
172
00:08:35,891 --> 00:08:36,850
Okay.
173
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,187
- "Hug, Pivot, Bear."
- Mm-hm.
174
00:08:42,398 --> 00:08:43,232
You're right.
175
00:08:44,775 --> 00:08:45,693
Number one.
176
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,239
A public demonstration
of the strong U.S.-UK relationship.
177
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:52,658
So that Russia knows
we are still a united front,
178
00:08:52,658 --> 00:08:55,119
same as we were
when they first invaded Ukraine.
179
00:08:55,119 --> 00:08:56,662
Is that the hug?
180
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:58,205
- It is.
- It's cute.
181
00:08:58,205 --> 00:08:59,873
- Number two--
- Hey.
182
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:02,459
What's the holdup?
183
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:04,211
Security sweep.
184
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:08,424
They think Dennison's gonna kill you
the way he killed the Iranian ambassador?
185
00:09:08,424 --> 00:09:11,885
I think, even in jest,
that we should avoid suggesting
186
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:15,472
that the Iranian ambassador's death
had anything to do with our closest ally.
187
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:16,974
- Or the Russians.
- Don't do that.
188
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:19,059
- He's already wound up.
- I'm really not.
189
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:22,229
Wouldn't be the first time the Russians
poisoned someone on British soil.
190
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:23,689
- I'd love to keep going.
- Please do.
191
00:09:23,689 --> 00:09:26,108
- Wouldn't even be the second time.
- Number two on the agenda.
192
00:09:26,108 --> 00:09:27,776
- Yes.
- What's number one?
193
00:09:27,776 --> 00:09:28,777
Hugging.
194
00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:30,946
- A pivot away from Iran.
- Pivot.
195
00:09:30,946 --> 00:09:31,864
Yes.
196
00:09:31,864 --> 00:09:34,325
- Now that we know it was Russia--
- Ah. The poison?
197
00:09:34,325 --> 00:09:36,368
They treating you as a suspect?
They should.
198
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:38,704
- Get back in the car.
- Gotta piss.
199
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:41,665
[sighs] Are they?
200
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:43,125
Treating me like a suspect?
201
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,169
No. A witness.
202
00:09:45,753 --> 00:09:48,255
Eidra may need to talk to you later today.
203
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:49,298
And Met Police.
204
00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:51,592
- Okay. Number two. Pivot.
- Yes.
205
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:54,511
Now that we know it was Russia,
we need to pivot from Iran.
206
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:56,055
You mean apologize.
207
00:09:56,055 --> 00:09:57,056
I don't.
208
00:09:57,056 --> 00:09:59,058
State was particular about that.
209
00:09:59,058 --> 00:10:02,936
We can't say sorry to a regime
that chants "Death to America."
210
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:04,063
[Byron] Ma'am?
211
00:10:04,063 --> 00:10:04,980
Clear.
212
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,691
Get in the other car.
213
00:10:07,691 --> 00:10:09,943
You want Hal and I
arriving in the same vehicle.
214
00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:12,237
But I'd love to finish the agenda.
215
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:13,614
- Three is "Bear."
- [Stuart] Yeah.
216
00:10:13,614 --> 00:10:15,074
- Which is Russia.
- [Stuart] Yes.
217
00:10:15,074 --> 00:10:16,200
It was a gimme.
218
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,159
Hal!
219
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,161
[Hal] It takes as long as it takes.
220
00:10:55,406 --> 00:10:56,699
Thank you.
221
00:10:57,783 --> 00:10:58,742
Welcome.
222
00:10:59,785 --> 00:11:02,621
Honored to have you here.
Hoope. I cover Iran.
223
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:03,914
Nice to meet you.
224
00:11:03,914 --> 00:11:05,749
Russia. Kemper-Waithe.
225
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:09,211
- [Kate] Nice to meet you.
- I understand we owe you our thanks.
226
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:13,048
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
I thought you would've started.
227
00:11:13,048 --> 00:11:14,842
Nonsense. You're right on time.
228
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:16,677
Nice bit of country you got.
229
00:11:16,677 --> 00:11:19,763
A thrill to meet you as well, sir.
How proud you must be.
230
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:22,474
Of my wife? I am.
231
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:24,726
Kemper-Waithe. Russia.
232
00:11:24,726 --> 00:11:26,812
Hayford. The whole world.
233
00:11:26,812 --> 00:11:27,938
[all laughing]
234
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:31,775
- Shall we?
- Yes.
235
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:37,573
What the fuck is going on?
236
00:11:37,573 --> 00:11:39,616
I missed those dulcet tones.
237
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:42,161
Your Iran guy keeps smiling at me.
238
00:11:42,161 --> 00:11:45,747
You're the woman of the hour.
You put out the conflagration in the Gulf.
239
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:48,083
They know what happened?
240
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:51,879
They have no idea what happened.
They know you had something to do with it.
241
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,215
You said it wasn't Iran from the get-go.
Turns out you were right.
242
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:56,800
[Kate] You don't get any credit?
243
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,719
We're a formidable team.
244
00:11:59,344 --> 00:12:03,056
But the consensus is
you're the dogcatcher.
245
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,349
What does that mean?
246
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:07,936
That means you leashed the dogs of war.
247
00:12:09,104 --> 00:12:10,063
I like it.
248
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:12,691
[Austin] I think it suits you.
249
00:12:12,691 --> 00:12:14,443
[Kate] I kind of think it does.
250
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:17,696
Welcome.
Welcome to our modest monstrosity.
251
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:20,491
The indispensable Cecilia Dennison.
252
00:12:20,491 --> 00:12:23,952
Of course. Of course.
It's very nice to meet you.
253
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:25,662
Ambassador Katherine Wyler.
254
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:27,748
Was he terribly upset?
255
00:12:28,332 --> 00:12:30,167
Was...? Excuse me?
256
00:12:30,167 --> 00:12:32,836
Austin. Was he a prig about it?
257
00:12:32,836 --> 00:12:34,338
About...?
258
00:12:34,963 --> 00:12:36,215
Well, you were tardy.
259
00:12:36,215 --> 00:12:38,175
He makes a fuss when I'm late.
260
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:40,135
It's double standards.
261
00:12:40,135 --> 00:12:42,137
[Austin] Can we not do that?
262
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:44,139
I agree. Let's not stand here.
263
00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:45,182
- Come in.
- Yes.
264
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:47,392
It's not home but it's much.
265
00:12:47,392 --> 00:12:50,187
Thank you.
I mean, it's very nice to meet you.
266
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:55,943
You must be the wife.
267
00:12:57,319 --> 00:12:58,403
What gave it away?
268
00:12:58,403 --> 00:13:00,614
Come on. I'll give you the grand tour.
269
00:13:00,614 --> 00:13:02,616
- Okay.
- So sorry to interrupt.
270
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:04,952
You're needed on the secure line.
271
00:13:04,952 --> 00:13:06,662
I'll be there in a minute.
272
00:13:06,662 --> 00:13:09,414
It's the prime minister.
273
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:12,292
Excuse me.
274
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,377
Yeah. Mm-hm.
275
00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:19,091
- Hello.
- Hello.
276
00:13:24,263 --> 00:13:25,639
Apologies.
277
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:26,765
Anu.
278
00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:29,059
[Anu]
After the secretary of state arrives,
279
00:13:29,059 --> 00:13:32,938
we'll start with a mutual acknowledgment
about the sharp words
280
00:13:32,938 --> 00:13:35,732
regarding President Rayburn
from Prime Minister Trowbridge
281
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:38,944
were simply a spirited debate
among friends.
282
00:13:38,944 --> 00:13:41,863
Then we'll move onto item two, Iran--
283
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:43,282
Ambassador. Thank you.
284
00:13:43,282 --> 00:13:45,784
Ah, comments with the placement of Iran
on the agenda?
285
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,036
No. It's not Iran. I was just...
286
00:13:49,037 --> 00:13:50,205
I'm fine.
287
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:53,250
- Three.
- She's not fine.
288
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,794
- Three.
- [Hoope] This is exactly
289
00:13:55,794 --> 00:13:57,879
what we were told by Mrs. Wells.
290
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:00,299
A woman, slender, like yourself--
291
00:14:00,299 --> 00:14:02,301
- I think we should move on.
- [Hoope] We shouldn't.
292
00:14:02,301 --> 00:14:05,178
It's structural inequity
in the plainest sense.
293
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:07,598
Chairs designed for a man's build.
294
00:14:07,598 --> 00:14:09,766
If we want women at the table,
295
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:13,353
it is incumbent upon us
to pull up a suitable chair.
296
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:16,857
Can we get Ambassador Wyler
a suitable chair?
297
00:14:16,857 --> 00:14:19,526
- Can I get you a chair?
- I love my chair.
298
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:22,029
I'm really curious
about agenda item three.
299
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:23,196
Perhaps a cushion?
300
00:14:24,281 --> 00:14:26,408
- Perfect. Thank you.
- [chuckles]
301
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:31,747
Okay--
302
00:14:37,336 --> 00:14:38,587
Thank you.
303
00:14:38,587 --> 00:14:39,504
[Anu] So to review,
304
00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:43,717
one, a demonstration of the strong,
healthy U.S.-UK relationship,
305
00:14:43,717 --> 00:14:46,386
two, Iran, and three, Russia.
306
00:14:47,346 --> 00:14:48,889
Thank you, Anu.
307
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:54,269
If we could move one to three,
and if there are no other changes,
308
00:14:54,269 --> 00:14:57,189
then I think we can continue.
309
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:58,106
[Anu] Of course.
310
00:14:58,106 --> 00:14:59,274
Why?
311
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:04,363
Why are we moving one to three?
312
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:08,116
Between your late arrival
313
00:15:08,116 --> 00:15:10,410
and the structural inequity
of the furniture,
314
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,496
we're running behind schedule.
315
00:15:14,289 --> 00:15:16,792
Item one might warrant
a longer discussion.
316
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:22,047
- Anu.
- Our new item one: Iran.
317
00:15:22,673 --> 00:15:25,384
Uh, if we can all turn to page four.
Thank you.
318
00:15:25,384 --> 00:15:27,302
Page number four.
319
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:31,848
I can do the tour. Got it memorized.
320
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:34,142
Especially your bit about Lord Earlsby.
321
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:35,394
Wellsby.
322
00:15:35,394 --> 00:15:36,979
Mm. Not in my version.
323
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:38,689
It's no problem, madam.
324
00:15:38,689 --> 00:15:40,273
He doesn't trust me.
325
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:41,817
She seems competent.
326
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:44,194
Perhaps the list?
327
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:45,988
You're right, it's wise.
328
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:49,491
They keep a list of activities I can do.
329
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:50,909
It's terribly dull,
330
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:53,662
but I find if I do two at once,
they spring to life.
331
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:57,374
Tour of the grounds is thing one.
You get to pick thing two.
332
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:02,295
Hmm. Forehead Detective.
333
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:03,422
Excellent.
334
00:16:04,256 --> 00:16:06,049
We need to exonerate Iran,
335
00:16:06,049 --> 00:16:09,636
publicly, vocally,
and as soon as possible.
336
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:12,222
So when we are ready to accuse Russia,
337
00:16:12,222 --> 00:16:14,599
we've laid the groundwork
for a new narrative...
338
00:16:14,599 --> 00:16:17,602
[whispering]
State's position on an apology is no.
339
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:19,104
He didn't say "apology."
340
00:16:19,104 --> 00:16:21,690
Is an Iranian acquittal wise, do we think?
341
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:22,983
They're hardly nuns.
342
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:26,653
[Austin] If Russia's aim was to ensnare us
in a war in the Gulf,
343
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:30,991
then anything other than an acquittal
would be a gift to the Kremlin.
344
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:34,327
Until we make it clear
that Iran is not the culprit,
345
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,873
the rest of the world will believe
Ambassador Hajjar's demise--
346
00:16:37,873 --> 00:16:39,249
In your office.
347
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,085
An apology. To Iran.
348
00:16:42,085 --> 00:16:43,920
- Nope.
- A shell game.
349
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,173
Russia for Iran.
350
00:16:46,173 --> 00:16:50,052
Either way, we can't acquit Iran
till we're ready to name Russia.
351
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:52,637
Meanwhile, what exactly do we tell Iran?
352
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:54,514
[Kemper-Waithe]
We can offer other concessions.
353
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:55,932
Just don't offer tea.
354
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,185
She's right, you know.
355
00:16:58,935 --> 00:16:59,770
I was kidding.
356
00:16:59,770 --> 00:17:01,396
Or coffee, I'd say.
357
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:03,065
Oh, my God.
358
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:03,982
Sorry?
359
00:17:03,982 --> 00:17:07,194
You're indulging
hardline Iranian conspiracy theories
360
00:17:07,194 --> 00:17:10,822
and acting like we snuck Hajjar's body
out in a suitcase.
361
00:17:11,573 --> 00:17:13,784
The CIA didn't kill Kennedy,
362
00:17:13,784 --> 00:17:15,660
Q is not the Internet messiah,
363
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:17,662
and the tea was not poisoned.
364
00:17:18,330 --> 00:17:19,998
[clears throat]
365
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:22,918
I was told the chemical testing
is not yet complete.
366
00:17:22,918 --> 00:17:25,837
If he was poisoned, it wasn't the tea.
367
00:17:25,837 --> 00:17:28,715
He didn't even drink it
until after his symptoms began.
368
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:29,800
[coughing]
369
00:17:30,425 --> 00:17:31,551
Austin?
370
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:32,469
Water.
371
00:17:34,221 --> 00:17:35,722
[Anu] I think we're due for a break.
372
00:17:37,182 --> 00:17:38,308
Okay. Break.
373
00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:44,064
Do you know what you just said?
374
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:46,399
Did I say you were kind of snippy?
'Cause you are.
375
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:49,611
You said his symptoms began
before he drank the tea.
376
00:17:49,611 --> 00:17:50,529
Yeah.
377
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:56,493
The CIA may not have killed Kennedy
but they did sneak you into my office,
378
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:59,704
shortly after which
the Iranian ambassador left on a gurney.
379
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:01,164
- Shit.
- You're not supposed to know
380
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:03,959
when the symptoms began because
you shouldn't have been in the room.
381
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:06,253
I'm sorry.
382
00:18:07,546 --> 00:18:08,463
It's bad enough
383
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:10,507
- half the world thinks I killed Hajjar.
- I know.
384
00:18:10,507 --> 00:18:14,261
It's best to have not done it
in concert with the great Satan.
385
00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:15,303
[Kate groans]
386
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:20,058
What?
387
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:21,560
Your...
388
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:25,188
Your shirt. I think you missed a button.
389
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,192
Damn it.
390
00:18:33,196 --> 00:18:34,072
No.
391
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:37,868
Thank you.
392
00:18:40,996 --> 00:18:43,832
We can say you told me about the tea.
If anyone asks.
393
00:18:43,832 --> 00:18:45,333
Which I doubt they will.
394
00:18:48,879 --> 00:18:50,589
What's the longer discussion?
395
00:18:50,589 --> 00:18:53,758
Item three, formerly known as item one.
We call it the Hug.
396
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:56,678
Oh, they'll notice that we're gone.
397
00:18:56,678 --> 00:18:59,389
I think a statement will do the trick.
398
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:00,432
You love us,
399
00:19:00,432 --> 00:19:03,310
Trowbridge won't call the president
a douchebag again.
400
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:04,769
As a token of your contrition,
401
00:19:04,769 --> 00:19:06,813
you're declaring it "tomato,"
not "tomahto."
402
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:09,107
He will not hug.
403
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:11,651
He wants to end it.
404
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:12,736
End what?
405
00:19:12,736 --> 00:19:15,572
The entanglement of our two nations.
406
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:19,743
The assumption
that American might makes right.
407
00:19:19,743 --> 00:19:25,415
That the British military cannot act
without American assistance or approval.
408
00:19:25,415 --> 00:19:27,959
That we suffer the whims
of your elected officials
409
00:19:27,959 --> 00:19:31,630
and are bludgeoned
by your unflagging self-interest.
410
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:36,092
It might be dangerous
to be America's enemy,
411
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:39,137
but to be its friend is fatal.
412
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,100
Are you out of your fucking mind?
413
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,352
Please keep your voice--
414
00:19:45,352 --> 00:19:47,062
You're breaking up with us?
415
00:19:47,062 --> 00:19:49,397
- The prime minister--
- You ditched the EU.
416
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:51,816
Scotland and Northern Ireland want out.
417
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:54,778
Russia just spent a year
murdering Ukrainians,
418
00:19:54,778 --> 00:19:57,447
now they're turning
their attention to you.
419
00:19:57,447 --> 00:20:00,408
This is when
you wanna rethink the alliance?
420
00:20:00,408 --> 00:20:02,577
You're right, it's a longer discussion.
421
00:20:02,577 --> 00:20:05,121
Let's gin up a non-apology apology
422
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:08,541
to a nearly nuclear
anti-Western theocracy.
423
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:11,044
Turns out it's less loaded than the Hug.
424
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:15,173
Not an apology.
425
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,509
It's beyond the realm of the possible.
426
00:20:17,509 --> 00:20:19,344
- Alistair.
- Beyond the realm.
427
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:20,804
All right.
428
00:20:20,804 --> 00:20:24,391
I can also think of a few things
they would prefer to an apology.
429
00:20:24,391 --> 00:20:25,350
Such as?
430
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:27,185
Striking their Revolutionary Guard
431
00:20:27,185 --> 00:20:29,646
from the Foreign Terrorist
Organizations list.
432
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,147
That's not the point.
433
00:20:31,147 --> 00:20:34,401
I think Iran would consider it
directly to the point.
434
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:38,947
Ambassador Wyler,
we are no longer an empire.
435
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:40,782
We're not even part of a continent.
436
00:20:40,782 --> 00:20:44,744
We're a small island nation
with a great democracy.
437
00:20:45,495 --> 00:20:47,706
We called Iran the enemy
and they were not,
438
00:20:47,706 --> 00:20:49,416
so now we say something. We apologize.
439
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:51,293
Even if America prefer we not,
440
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:55,005
because when the rest of the world
stop believing our word,
441
00:20:55,005 --> 00:20:56,464
our might goes with it.
442
00:20:56,464 --> 00:20:58,049
What exactly's going on?
443
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:01,094
[whispering]
444
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:08,893
Some happy tidings.
445
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:12,314
The prime minister has found himself
in the neighborhood
446
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:14,482
and is dropping by to say hello.
447
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:20,822
[car horn honking]
448
00:21:37,505 --> 00:21:39,466
Prime Minister, what an honor.
449
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:41,009
The road opened up before me
450
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:44,721
and I'm afraid it was as if
the whole county of Kent was lying back
451
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:49,184
and opening her well-bred legs
to be ravished by this beast of an engine.
452
00:21:49,184 --> 00:21:51,895
So I find myself here.
453
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:58,651
It's quite the car.
454
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:03,365
It's a loan from a friend.
455
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:05,283
He's got one of those names
you can't pronounce,
456
00:22:05,283 --> 00:22:07,118
so I thought I'd take it for a spin
457
00:22:07,118 --> 00:22:09,871
before the ethics Nazis
spoil the whole thing.
458
00:22:14,209 --> 00:22:15,335
[sniffing]
459
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:16,252
Good God.
460
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:18,421
Sniff.
461
00:22:18,421 --> 00:22:19,881
Go on. Everyone.
462
00:22:21,091 --> 00:22:22,842
Tell me, what do you smell?
463
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,052
Julian.
464
00:22:24,052 --> 00:22:27,222
- Nothing in particular?
- Nothing in particular. Yeah.
465
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:31,935
Whereas Chequers,
which is my grace-and-favor retreat,
466
00:22:31,935 --> 00:22:33,144
has a certain pong.
467
00:22:33,144 --> 00:22:34,979
Lydia won't shut up about it.
468
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:37,774
It's your office all over again.
469
00:22:37,774 --> 00:22:40,568
I'm the one they elected.
Why do you get all the good toys?
470
00:22:41,986 --> 00:22:44,614
- [Austin] Good to see you, sir.
- [Trowbridge] Good to be seen.
471
00:22:51,996 --> 00:22:53,665
I hear the Great Ganon's a drunk,
472
00:22:53,665 --> 00:22:56,668
so cocktails should come
early and often tomorrow.
473
00:22:56,668 --> 00:22:59,796
You're discussing Russia,
so vodka, clearly, to set the tone.
474
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:01,965
That's my two cents' worth.
475
00:23:01,965 --> 00:23:03,675
What have you come up with?
476
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:06,052
Well, we've just begun.
477
00:23:07,137 --> 00:23:11,558
You might prefer a full briefing
after the meeting.
478
00:23:11,558 --> 00:23:13,643
No, I don't prefer. I want it now.
479
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,065
Well, we've finalized the agenda
for tomorrow.
480
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:20,567
First, Iran.
481
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:21,818
- Some sort of--
- Pivot.
482
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:23,236
No. First, Russia.
483
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:29,617
Big country. Butchered Ukraine.
484
00:23:29,617 --> 00:23:31,578
Blasted our aircraft carrier to bits.
485
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:36,416
We've not broached
the Russia question just yet.
486
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:41,379
It's interesting.
487
00:23:42,964 --> 00:23:47,552
I'm being wallpapered by the press
for a certain lack of action.
488
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:50,513
The Times is calling for a snap election.
489
00:23:51,681 --> 00:23:55,685
Ganon is coming tomorrow
to stand shoulder to shoulder with us,
490
00:23:55,685 --> 00:23:58,771
presumably while we say something
to the world about what happened,
491
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:02,525
and meanwhile, you haven't
broached the Russia question yet.
492
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,946
Ambassador Wyler, you're clever.
Does that scan for you?
493
00:24:08,239 --> 00:24:09,949
No one's forgotten about Russia.
494
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:14,787
I'm just merely wondering if there's an
agenda to my foreign secretary's agenda.
495
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:16,915
Of course not.
496
00:24:16,915 --> 00:24:18,249
I asked the ambassador.
497
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:22,837
Madam Ambassador, did Iran hit our ship?
498
00:24:23,421 --> 00:24:24,464
No.
499
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,049
So why are we talking about them?
500
00:24:26,716 --> 00:24:30,094
With respect, if Russia framed Iran...
501
00:24:30,094 --> 00:24:31,429
It's always "if."
502
00:24:31,429 --> 00:24:36,601
...you can turn Iran from one of Russia's
only friends to a sworn enemy.
503
00:24:38,144 --> 00:24:40,438
He's setting you up
to be a great statesman.
504
00:24:42,023 --> 00:24:43,524
"To be." Someday.
505
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:48,404
Meanwhile, I've got 41 widows
506
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:51,324
wishing that they had
your Second Amendment rights today,
507
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:52,825
not someday.
508
00:24:56,579 --> 00:24:58,539
The Russians blew up our fucking warship.
509
00:24:58,539 --> 00:25:01,876
Perhaps we should stop wetting the bed
and seize tomorrow, if not today,
510
00:25:01,876 --> 00:25:03,253
to say who's done it.
511
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:06,547
- Sir, if you would just give us a chance--
- Perhaps you're right.
512
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:11,052
Well, look at that.
513
00:25:11,052 --> 00:25:12,679
Thank you, Austin.
514
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:15,807
No, thank you.
This has been really helpful.
515
00:25:17,392 --> 00:25:18,601
Oh, I'm not leaving.
516
00:25:19,936 --> 00:25:21,271
Sleeves up.
517
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:22,522
Let's muck in.
518
00:25:28,069 --> 00:25:29,237
Am I a man?
519
00:25:29,237 --> 00:25:32,490
Mm... Partly, at best.
520
00:25:33,157 --> 00:25:35,243
Let's say it's subjective.
521
00:25:35,743 --> 00:25:37,620
Trees. Pond.
522
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:38,871
Am I alive?
523
00:25:39,998 --> 00:25:41,249
From the waist down, maybe.
524
00:25:41,249 --> 00:25:42,625
Do I know me?
525
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:44,752
Oh, well, I hope not.
526
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:48,715
Although you'll say you do
if you ever run for higher office.
527
00:25:50,633 --> 00:25:51,509
Will you?
528
00:25:52,719 --> 00:25:53,594
Say I know me?
529
00:25:53,594 --> 00:25:55,221
No. Run for something.
530
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:57,056
Escape the purgatory.
531
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,891
I'm enjoying the break.
532
00:25:59,475 --> 00:26:01,102
Well, that's bollocks.
533
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,981
- Why, do I know me?
- No.
534
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:07,775
Maybe. No.
535
00:26:07,775 --> 00:26:08,693
Careful.
536
00:26:08,693 --> 00:26:09,819
I know everyone.
537
00:26:09,819 --> 00:26:11,195
He'd love you.
538
00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:13,072
He. That's interesting.
539
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:16,951
Ah, the Great Temple.
There's another one around the corner
540
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:19,746
called something like
the Slightly Less Great Temple.
541
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:20,830
Temple.
542
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:22,457
I'm not...
543
00:26:24,876 --> 00:26:25,918
Am I God?
544
00:26:27,128 --> 00:26:28,338
What a thing to say.
545
00:26:28,338 --> 00:26:29,422
Not no.
546
00:26:30,465 --> 00:26:31,466
Am I Jesus?
547
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:33,217
Ah! Ding, ding, ding.
548
00:26:33,217 --> 00:26:35,511
- And I'm...
- Absolutely not.
549
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:36,721
Austin!
550
00:26:37,221 --> 00:26:39,515
Hey! You're a conniving little cheat.
551
00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:43,102
No, I'm not. I'm Henry fucking Kissinger.
552
00:26:45,229 --> 00:26:46,981
"Perhaps you're right"?
553
00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:49,650
Do you understand
what we're talking about here?
554
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:52,278
Accusing Russia
of attacking a British warship.
555
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:55,323
Tomorrow,
with the U.S. secretary of state.
556
00:26:55,323 --> 00:26:57,533
We're talking about it, that is all.
557
00:26:57,533 --> 00:26:59,452
The meeting will now
become a Russia briefing.
558
00:26:59,452 --> 00:27:02,955
After which, if there is a God,
the prime minister will leave.
559
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:07,460
I really think we need to tell him
we're not ready for a Russia accusation.
560
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:10,755
I need you to follow my lead.
Is there any way you might do that?
561
00:27:12,006 --> 00:27:13,549
You're asking for my help?
562
00:27:14,675 --> 00:27:16,427
- I am.
- Because I have a lot going on.
563
00:27:16,427 --> 00:27:18,554
I have to tell Ganon
he's about to be ambushed
564
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:21,808
with a request that our two nations
start seeing other people.
565
00:27:21,808 --> 00:27:25,395
At times, I have to serve
as the prime minister's voice box.
566
00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:28,356
But I, as me, am asking you, as you,
567
00:27:29,107 --> 00:27:30,066
for your help.
568
00:27:38,491 --> 00:27:40,076
How can I be of service?
569
00:27:41,953 --> 00:27:45,665
He needs a brisk, chatty briefing
on Russia strategy.
570
00:27:45,665 --> 00:27:47,625
Something that makes him feel--
571
00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:49,210
Smart and in control?
572
00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:51,963
- I suppose, yeah.
- He's not a unicorn.
573
00:27:58,719 --> 00:28:01,889
In an unexpected
change to today's schedule,
574
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:04,684
our agenda now reads thus:
575
00:28:05,268 --> 00:28:07,770
One, Russia.
576
00:28:08,271 --> 00:28:09,188
Two,
577
00:28:10,231 --> 00:28:11,190
Russia.
578
00:28:11,816 --> 00:28:13,276
Three-- Julian?
579
00:28:13,276 --> 00:28:14,527
Russia?
580
00:28:15,278 --> 00:28:16,404
Fast learner.
581
00:28:16,404 --> 00:28:18,406
But it isn't, officially.
582
00:28:19,824 --> 00:28:20,992
Isn't what?
583
00:28:20,992 --> 00:28:22,285
Russia.
584
00:28:22,994 --> 00:28:23,911
Not officially.
585
00:28:25,246 --> 00:28:26,956
I can't fucking believe this.
586
00:28:28,624 --> 00:28:33,337
I thought that the Indians
had tracked the guy
587
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:35,339
who blew up the boat and shot the shot.
588
00:28:35,339 --> 00:28:36,340
They did.
589
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:38,926
And after which, Romanian intelligence,
590
00:28:38,926 --> 00:28:42,013
in one of the great triumphs
of mice over men,
591
00:28:42,013 --> 00:28:45,057
- espied him fleeing to Russia...
- Sir, the complicating--
592
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:48,269
...where he was paid by... What's it?
593
00:28:48,269 --> 00:28:49,854
- Lenkov.
- Who is Russian!
594
00:28:49,854 --> 00:28:51,022
Why is this hard?
595
00:28:52,565 --> 00:28:56,402
You're foreign policy advisors,
armed with the entire Cold War playbook.
596
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:59,030
You're not flat-earthers
looking for the edge.
597
00:29:00,948 --> 00:29:05,161
Sir, we can't blithely
lob accusations at Russia.
598
00:29:05,161 --> 00:29:07,747
They're a nuclear power
run by an individual
599
00:29:07,747 --> 00:29:12,376
who will happily level sovereign nations
even without provocation.
600
00:29:13,127 --> 00:29:16,297
We call it genocide.
Russia calls it a job well done.
601
00:29:16,297 --> 00:29:18,424
- Okay. Then accuse Lenin.
- Lenkov.
602
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:22,303
Whoever the fuck he is,
charge him with the slaughter of 41 men!
603
00:29:22,303 --> 00:29:23,596
And women.
604
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:27,016
Lenkov is a fig leaf for the Kremlin.
605
00:29:28,226 --> 00:29:30,770
The moment we accuse
either Russia or Lenkov
606
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:34,440
of a direct attack on the United Kingdom,
a NATO ally,
607
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,734
they will preempt our response.
608
00:29:36,734 --> 00:29:39,320
Unable to match us
in conventional warfare,
609
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,406
they may break the seal
of the last remaining taboo:
610
00:29:42,406 --> 00:29:44,033
nuclear weapons.
611
00:29:44,033 --> 00:29:46,202
Tactical warheads, to start,
612
00:29:46,202 --> 00:29:49,163
as if they're somehow less significant,
which they aren't.
613
00:29:49,163 --> 00:29:50,873
He's driving off a cliff here.
614
00:29:50,873 --> 00:29:53,835
And if we follow your bluster
through to its natural end--
615
00:29:53,835 --> 00:29:57,380
- Sorry. My fucking what?
- Sir, I think you're missing the point.
616
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,048
Am I?
617
00:30:00,049 --> 00:30:03,469
The prime minister is well aware
we can't accuse Russia
618
00:30:03,469 --> 00:30:06,055
until we know how we're going to respond.
619
00:30:06,055 --> 00:30:08,099
It would be insane.
620
00:30:08,099 --> 00:30:11,769
But he's looking further down the road
while we're still worried about evidence.
621
00:30:12,645 --> 00:30:15,189
The secretary of state is on his way.
622
00:30:15,189 --> 00:30:18,234
And while we may not need
the prime minister's help
623
00:30:18,234 --> 00:30:20,611
crafting an accusation,
624
00:30:20,611 --> 00:30:24,615
we clearly need his help
in crafting a response.
625
00:30:28,286 --> 00:30:31,247
Ah. Out of the mouths of babes.
626
00:30:31,247 --> 00:30:33,207
I'll make some calls. When I get back,
627
00:30:33,207 --> 00:30:36,627
you're gonna provide me
with some options for a response.
628
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:39,881
You have 20 minutes.
629
00:30:50,182 --> 00:30:53,895
Who is the Russia guy from the NDI
you worked with in Tallinn?
630
00:30:55,229 --> 00:30:56,188
Schulman?
631
00:30:57,315 --> 00:31:00,109
My morning was delightful,
thank you for asking.
632
00:31:00,109 --> 00:31:01,569
I have 20 minutes to generate
633
00:31:01,569 --> 00:31:04,196
a British-led,
bilateral response to Russia.
634
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:07,116
- Who was the guy?
- I got a tour of the grounds.
635
00:31:07,116 --> 00:31:10,161
- Turns out she's the sister, not the wife.
- What?
636
00:31:10,912 --> 00:31:12,288
Cecilia Dennison.
637
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,291
Is his sister?
638
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:16,918
Curveball.
639
00:31:21,255 --> 00:31:22,757
Who brings their sister?
640
00:31:22,757 --> 00:31:26,802
She got dumped
by some vaguely royal asshole.
641
00:31:26,802 --> 00:31:30,848
And Dennison took her lame suicide attempt
way too seriously.
642
00:31:30,848 --> 00:31:34,018
- Oh, shit.
- Now he won't let her out of his sight.
643
00:31:34,644 --> 00:31:36,270
She loves her brother.
644
00:31:36,938 --> 00:31:39,690
Says he can be a bit of a prig
but he has a good heart.
645
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:42,652
That his wife died a couple of years ago,
646
00:31:42,652 --> 00:31:45,446
and he desperately needs to get laid.
647
00:31:45,446 --> 00:31:47,657
- Jesus.
- Look...
648
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:53,955
If I'm leaving, you'll need
a little something on the side,
649
00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:57,375
or you'll get surly,
which is bad for America.
650
00:31:57,375 --> 00:31:58,292
Hal.
651
00:31:58,292 --> 00:32:03,798
He is the platonic ideal of all
those fucking handsome, repressed nerds
652
00:32:03,798 --> 00:32:05,174
you dated before you met me.
653
00:32:05,174 --> 00:32:07,259
Don't pretend you didn't notice.
654
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:10,888
The Russia guy?
With the frozen toilets in Tallinn?
655
00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:12,974
Shellman?
656
00:32:13,766 --> 00:32:15,935
I mean it. You should tap that.
657
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:21,524
He had an idea about
how to sanction the cobalt oligarch
658
00:32:21,524 --> 00:32:23,776
without tanking the world's cobalt supply.
659
00:32:24,485 --> 00:32:25,319
Yeah.
660
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:28,489
What's his fucking name?
661
00:32:30,116 --> 00:32:31,242
I don't remember.
662
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:41,210
Gellman. Gellman!
663
00:32:45,172 --> 00:32:46,424
Ben Gellman.
664
00:32:49,427 --> 00:32:51,679
- Can I help you, ma'am?
- No.
665
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:53,014
- You all right?
- Yeah.
666
00:32:53,014 --> 00:32:55,224
- [Stuart] You were shouting.
- Ben Gellman, from the NDI,
667
00:32:55,224 --> 00:32:58,853
I need to call him,
and I need to get financials,
668
00:32:58,853 --> 00:33:02,940
vice chairman of Gazprom,
and I'm gonna... figure that out.
669
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:14,410
Hi. You know I work for you, right?
670
00:33:14,410 --> 00:33:15,953
- Yeah.
- [Stuart] As does Ronnie.
671
00:33:15,953 --> 00:33:16,871
Thrilled.
672
00:33:17,705 --> 00:33:20,249
You were a DCM, but you're not anymore.
673
00:33:20,249 --> 00:33:23,627
So if you need to figure stuff out,
I am a resource.
674
00:33:23,627 --> 00:33:27,298
As is Ronnie, as are the 800
other folks that work for you.
675
00:33:27,923 --> 00:33:31,886
- By the time I explain it--
- Ma'am, I think you should try.
676
00:33:31,886 --> 00:33:35,181
I think that we are doing
the part of the job you like,
677
00:33:35,181 --> 00:33:37,850
you're great at it, but it is a big job.
678
00:33:37,850 --> 00:33:39,185
So is mine.
679
00:33:39,185 --> 00:33:40,603
You can't handle both.
680
00:33:41,103 --> 00:33:42,354
I've got Ben Gellman.
681
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:49,612
You can come in.
682
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:54,992
You, I need 17 plausible
diplomatic retaliations to Russia.
683
00:33:54,992 --> 00:33:57,787
I have two in place. Spitballing for more.
684
00:33:59,663 --> 00:34:01,916
Is that... writing?
685
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:04,960
The prime minister gives
a speech to Parliament.
686
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,172
The speech doesn't even
mention Russia or Lenkov.
687
00:34:08,172 --> 00:34:12,218
But you invite the widow of the guy that
the Russians poisoned in London in '06,
688
00:34:12,218 --> 00:34:15,221
making it clear
that he's talking about Russia.
689
00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:16,639
- He loves a speech.
- He does.
690
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:20,392
But like with the cobalt sanctions
and the travel ban, it is insufficient.
691
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:22,561
Which is why you pitch all of them.
692
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:25,189
On their own,
they feel like nothingburgers.
693
00:34:25,189 --> 00:34:27,024
But add them all up,
694
00:34:27,024 --> 00:34:29,527
- it'll feel like a fire hose of--
- Nothingburgers.
695
00:34:29,527 --> 00:34:32,696
- It'll feel like a multi-pronged assault.
- I think it won't.
696
00:34:32,696 --> 00:34:35,449
Well, sadly, "no" is not a pitch.
697
00:34:35,950 --> 00:34:38,786
Blow through them all fast,
make him feel like it's a--
698
00:34:38,786 --> 00:34:40,496
- Fire hose.
- Exactly.
699
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:55,511
- [Hal] There you are.
- Were you looking for me?
700
00:34:55,511 --> 00:34:56,679
I was.
701
00:34:57,555 --> 00:34:59,890
I got this from one of the fine gentlemen
in the stables.
702
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:01,517
Mm, a naughty stable boy?
703
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:03,060
I thought he was nice.
704
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:05,938
You are delicious.
705
00:35:06,564 --> 00:35:08,941
Can you be trusted to nick
a decent bottle from the cellar?
706
00:35:08,941 --> 00:35:11,152
- That's what I was born to do.
- Okay.
707
00:35:11,152 --> 00:35:13,404
You find us some food.
708
00:35:13,404 --> 00:35:14,655
Oh, and take these.
709
00:35:15,573 --> 00:35:18,492
If anyone asks,
you're going to watch the purple martins.
710
00:35:18,492 --> 00:35:20,452
They're small birds. They're not purple,
711
00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:23,289
but, well, somehow everyone thinks
they're worth a trek.
712
00:35:23,289 --> 00:35:25,291
Purple martins. Okay.
713
00:35:30,838 --> 00:35:31,672
A travel ban.
714
00:35:33,382 --> 00:35:35,092
On all Russian citizens.
715
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,723
They kill 41 British sailors,
I spoil their mini-break in Kensington?
716
00:35:40,723 --> 00:35:43,267
If you coordinate the action
with the United States--
717
00:35:43,267 --> 00:35:45,436
I get to spoil their mini-break
in Palm Beach as well?
718
00:35:45,436 --> 00:35:46,353
India.
719
00:35:46,353 --> 00:35:50,691
We may be able to entice India
to join our Russia sanctions.
720
00:35:50,691 --> 00:35:51,859
I'm gonna kill myself.
721
00:35:51,859 --> 00:35:57,698
Well, the cumulative force
of a fire hose of diplomatic--
722
00:35:57,698 --> 00:35:59,783
Bullshit.
A fire hose of diplomatic bullshit.
723
00:35:59,783 --> 00:36:04,288
- What the foreign secretary is trying to--
- Yes, I know. But I cry bullshit!
724
00:36:04,914 --> 00:36:06,624
A month into the Ukraine war,
725
00:36:06,624 --> 00:36:10,127
we'd already crawled
all the way up the diplomatic ladder.
726
00:36:10,127 --> 00:36:13,172
We sanctioned Russian debt,
we embargoed their oil,
727
00:36:13,172 --> 00:36:15,257
and banned them from SWIFT, yes?
728
00:36:15,257 --> 00:36:17,801
We spanked, and we bluffed.
729
00:36:17,801 --> 00:36:20,221
And we smashed the rungs as we climbed.
730
00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:22,181
There are no moves left.
731
00:36:24,934 --> 00:36:28,437
Meanwhile, they've bombed
maternity wards in Mariupol,
732
00:36:29,271 --> 00:36:30,814
and shelled Chernobyl,
733
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,694
and gone in Iranian fancy dress
to blow open our prized vessel.
734
00:36:35,694 --> 00:36:37,821
So why can't we follow suit?
735
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:43,619
If we do what they do,
if we obliterate the rules-based order--
736
00:36:43,619 --> 00:36:45,746
What, that makes me a hypocrite?
737
00:36:45,746 --> 00:36:47,706
So what? I can think of worse words.
738
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,875
How does "war criminal" suit?
739
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:53,837
- Might be a good time to break for lunch.
- No, I will break for lunch.
740
00:36:53,837 --> 00:36:57,841
You will stay here, hungry and focused,
741
00:36:58,509 --> 00:37:01,303
until you can find
an in-kind response to Russia
742
00:37:01,303 --> 00:37:04,223
that does not make me
look like a wobbling pussy.
743
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:21,657
[Kate sighs]
744
00:37:21,657 --> 00:37:23,033
After you, ma'am.
745
00:37:24,702 --> 00:37:28,080
Secretary Dennison,
could we borrow you for a moment?
746
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,206
Of course.
747
00:37:32,626 --> 00:37:33,711
[Hoope] Excuse me?
748
00:37:33,711 --> 00:37:36,338
- Are they eating?
- It wouldn't be right.
749
00:37:38,299 --> 00:37:40,134
[cutlery clattering]
750
00:37:41,385 --> 00:37:42,428
Hal Wyler.
751
00:37:42,428 --> 00:37:45,764
- Prime Minister, good to see you again.
- Come and help me make a dent.
752
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:48,434
Ah. Where's the crew?
753
00:37:49,184 --> 00:37:52,479
I'm taking a leaf
from the book of St. Bonaventure.
754
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:55,566
It's 1268, the cardinals
can't agree on a new pope,
755
00:37:55,566 --> 00:37:57,776
so, what does Bonnie do?
756
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,069
Makes them a spread?
757
00:37:59,069 --> 00:38:03,449
He locks them up without any food
until they make up their fucking minds.
758
00:38:04,116 --> 00:38:06,368
- Ah.
- Three died, but it worked.
759
00:38:06,368 --> 00:38:09,163
- Jesus Christ.
- That's what the cardinals said.
760
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:12,916
You've dealt with the Russians.
761
00:38:13,542 --> 00:38:15,461
Uh, yeah, a few times.
762
00:38:15,461 --> 00:38:18,464
Why has this lot gone limp
at the idea of a confrontation?
763
00:38:21,592 --> 00:38:23,135
What would you have me do?
764
00:38:27,348 --> 00:38:28,974
You'd have to ask the ambassador.
765
00:38:29,975 --> 00:38:33,479
I am off to find the purple martins.
766
00:38:35,689 --> 00:38:37,066
Purple what?
767
00:38:38,359 --> 00:38:39,860
The tox screen's still not back,
768
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:42,821
but the Met Police would like to talk
to you no matter what it says.
769
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:45,324
- Sir, you've already met with them?
- More than once.
770
00:38:45,324 --> 00:38:47,493
It would be helpful if we could, uh...
771
00:38:47,493 --> 00:38:49,661
- Get our stories straight.
- Exactly.
772
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:51,163
You should sit.
773
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:01,298
- Sorry to pull you out.
- [Kate] Not at all.
774
00:39:01,298 --> 00:39:03,926
Just wanted to make sure
everyone's got the same timeline.
775
00:39:03,926 --> 00:39:06,553
Happy to review.
It's been an issue already.
776
00:39:07,179 --> 00:39:10,140
It hasn't been an issue. No one noticed.
777
00:39:10,140 --> 00:39:11,850
Who wants to bring me up to speed?
778
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:15,687
I vaguely suggested I knew
when the ambassador's symptoms began,
779
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:17,523
which was before I arrived.
780
00:39:17,523 --> 00:39:19,274
- Nobody noticed.
- [coughs]
781
00:39:20,609 --> 00:39:21,693
You noticed.
782
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:23,237
- [Stuart] No.
- [Austin] He noticed.
783
00:39:23,237 --> 00:39:26,073
I wouldn't have put it together
if you hadn't brought it up.
784
00:39:26,073 --> 00:39:29,868
But you noticed,
which means any of them may have.
785
00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:31,787
Well, the coughing fit largely covered.
786
00:39:31,787 --> 00:39:34,289
- Largely?
- It sounded like you swallowed a cat.
787
00:39:34,289 --> 00:39:35,290
[Stuart] Let's move on.
788
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:38,710
What time did she reach the inside
of the foreign secretary's office?
789
00:39:43,757 --> 00:39:44,591
You don't know?
790
00:39:44,591 --> 00:39:46,593
I do. You don't...
791
00:39:47,219 --> 00:39:50,764
is the issue.
I've already been questioned.
792
00:39:50,764 --> 00:39:53,100
So it doesn't matter when I got there,
793
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,519
what matters is when you said I got there.
794
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:57,521
- Stuart?
- We haven't had lunch.
795
00:39:57,521 --> 00:40:00,315
The medics arrived in the office at 16:26,
796
00:40:00,315 --> 00:40:03,318
so let's agree on 16:30.
797
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:07,197
Where exactly did Ambassador Hajjar fall?
798
00:40:07,197 --> 00:40:10,617
He dropped the teacup by the table,
he fell to the floor.
799
00:40:10,617 --> 00:40:11,702
No.
800
00:40:11,702 --> 00:40:15,956
I think I remember the sight
of the man dying in my office.
801
00:40:16,498 --> 00:40:18,333
He toppled to the ground,
you went to his side,
802
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:20,419
said something encouraging,
I summoned help.
803
00:40:20,419 --> 00:40:23,380
No. He fell to the couch.
I helped him to the floor.
804
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:25,757
- Oh, she's very helpful.
- [Eidra] She's not.
805
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:27,426
Because she didn't.
806
00:40:27,426 --> 00:40:30,304
She arrived after he was on the floor.
807
00:40:30,304 --> 00:40:33,390
She has no idea how he fell.
808
00:40:33,891 --> 00:40:36,435
- Fuck.
- Yeah, she shouldn't talk to the police.
809
00:40:36,435 --> 00:40:38,353
Can we just kill this?
810
00:40:43,066 --> 00:40:45,027
- [Hal] What's Trowbridge's deal?
- [Cecilia] Hmm?
811
00:40:45,027 --> 00:40:46,862
[Hal] Is it an act, all that...?
812
00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:49,615
[Cecilia] Some but not all.
813
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,826
I remember the first time I saw him
rush up to the podium
814
00:40:52,826 --> 00:40:55,746
to read his remarks from scribbles
on the back of his hand,
815
00:40:55,746 --> 00:40:58,332
and check the logo behind him to see
816
00:40:58,332 --> 00:41:01,502
exactly what he was
supposed to be remarking on.
817
00:41:03,378 --> 00:41:08,967
I thought he was like a very bright
13-year-old boy with ADHD.
818
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:11,094
I mean, erudite as fuck.
819
00:41:11,094 --> 00:41:13,096
Clever enough not to have to do the work
820
00:41:13,096 --> 00:41:16,767
but not quite slick enough to hide it.
821
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:18,560
Mm.
822
00:41:19,061 --> 00:41:19,895
Swap.
823
00:41:21,897 --> 00:41:26,151
Second time I saw him rush to the stage
and check the backdrop,
824
00:41:27,027 --> 00:41:29,071
I realized I'd underestimated him.
825
00:41:29,071 --> 00:41:30,405
Faux casual.
826
00:41:30,405 --> 00:41:32,282
- That's a good trick.
- Mm-hm.
827
00:41:37,162 --> 00:41:38,622
Do you think it'll rain?
828
00:41:39,915 --> 00:41:42,501
- [Hal] Uh, no.
- I wish it would.
829
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,169
Why?
830
00:41:46,463 --> 00:41:50,551
A bit of rain each day makes it easier
that my entire directive
831
00:41:50,551 --> 00:41:55,138
is to leave as little impression
on the skin of this world as is possible.
832
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,775
Are you a moper?
833
00:42:08,151 --> 00:42:10,070
Am I--? A moper?
834
00:42:10,862 --> 00:42:11,780
A brooder.
835
00:42:12,406 --> 00:42:14,575
You know, a sad girl,
836
00:42:14,575 --> 00:42:17,995
a wistful, drifty,
837
00:42:17,995 --> 00:42:20,789
malnourished little fucking waif.
838
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:24,209
Okay, well, I'm sitting here,
eating your cheese.
839
00:42:24,209 --> 00:42:26,878
- Yeah.
- Nibbling your parmesan.
840
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:29,006
I'm a magnet for mopey women.
841
00:42:29,756 --> 00:42:31,258
I mean, come on.
842
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:34,469
This may be one of the epic days
in the life of a man.
843
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:37,931
I mean, the water's dancing,
844
00:42:37,931 --> 00:42:40,517
the air carries a whiff
of freshly cut hay,
845
00:42:40,517 --> 00:42:42,102
and we're here...
846
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,190
commanded by crown and country
to devour the plunder of kings
847
00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:49,318
and the plenty of the land.
848
00:42:49,318 --> 00:42:52,571
And here I am with yet another woman
849
00:42:52,571 --> 00:42:56,283
who could find that one piece of cloud
850
00:42:56,283 --> 00:42:58,410
in every silver lining.
851
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:00,037
Yeah.
852
00:43:01,204 --> 00:43:03,624
Your mopey wife is not my remit.
853
00:43:04,625 --> 00:43:06,710
In any case,
I've earned a touch of malaise.
854
00:43:08,378 --> 00:43:10,964
Objectively speaking,
I'm here to tell you,
855
00:43:10,964 --> 00:43:12,341
you fell in a tub of butter.
856
00:43:12,341 --> 00:43:16,637
You should have the good grace to shut
your mouth and rub it all over yourself.
857
00:43:16,637 --> 00:43:17,554
Right?
858
00:43:19,723 --> 00:43:21,141
I thought you were kind.
859
00:43:22,934 --> 00:43:25,270
Do you wind up with men who are unkind?
860
00:43:28,357 --> 00:43:30,150
Were they unkind at the start?
861
00:43:31,652 --> 00:43:33,862
My women weren't mopey at the start.
862
00:43:38,075 --> 00:43:39,910
I think I bring it out in them.
863
00:43:42,788 --> 00:43:45,040
- What are you doing?
- Getting away from you.
864
00:43:46,041 --> 00:43:47,292
I'm eating the world.
865
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:51,630
I don't wanna waste this epic day
with an anhedonic.
866
00:44:02,224 --> 00:44:03,058
Whoo!
867
00:44:03,934 --> 00:44:05,060
Woo-hoo-hoo!
868
00:44:05,769 --> 00:44:07,187
It's glorious.
869
00:44:08,730 --> 00:44:09,731
Fuck yeah!
870
00:44:10,273 --> 00:44:12,359
Get in the fucking water.
871
00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:16,321
- Get in.
- Yeah.
872
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:18,198
- Oh, come on.
- It looks cold.
873
00:44:18,198 --> 00:44:20,575
It's not. Get in the fucking water.
874
00:44:20,575 --> 00:44:25,372
Ugh. You are quite cruel, it turns out.
875
00:44:25,372 --> 00:44:27,833
Get in. Immediately.
876
00:44:28,917 --> 00:44:30,419
- It's murky.
- It's murky.
877
00:44:30,419 --> 00:44:32,671
Look, no, I'm not being mopey.
878
00:44:32,671 --> 00:44:35,132
There are fucking things growing out.
879
00:44:35,132 --> 00:44:36,883
- Jesus.
- [shouts]
880
00:44:36,883 --> 00:44:39,428
Come on, dive. Dive.
881
00:44:45,058 --> 00:44:46,059
[Cecilia groans]
882
00:44:46,518 --> 00:44:48,520
Jesus fucking Christ, it's cold!
883
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,105
- No, it's not.
- Oh!
884
00:44:51,022 --> 00:44:52,524
Oh, fuck.
885
00:44:52,524 --> 00:44:53,608
Christ.
886
00:44:55,318 --> 00:44:57,195
Get over here and warm me up.
887
00:44:57,195 --> 00:45:01,032
Now, that, my wifty little waif, I can do.
888
00:45:02,868 --> 00:45:04,619
It's fucking cold.
889
00:45:05,579 --> 00:45:07,539
- Oh, shit.
- Oh...
890
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:09,958
- Stay close.
- [chuckles]
891
00:45:24,055 --> 00:45:26,808
I think you ought to fuck me
for my troubles.
892
00:45:28,810 --> 00:45:30,020
Everything but.
893
00:45:31,938 --> 00:45:33,148
What does that mean?
894
00:45:36,443 --> 00:45:40,864
I'm... tragically devoted to my wife.
895
00:45:40,864 --> 00:45:41,990
Oh?
896
00:45:42,657 --> 00:45:45,368
Is this what tragic devotion looks like?
897
00:45:46,077 --> 00:45:47,913
Um, yeah.
898
00:45:49,206 --> 00:45:52,834
The machinery doesn't really
function with anyone else.
899
00:45:52,834 --> 00:45:55,420
- I don't believe you.
- No?
900
00:45:55,921 --> 00:45:57,589
Okay, feel for yourself.
901
00:46:00,759 --> 00:46:01,760
Ah.
902
00:46:02,552 --> 00:46:05,889
- Well, you know there are drugs for this.
- Mm-hm.
903
00:46:05,889 --> 00:46:08,642
There are. There are also wives for this.
904
00:46:08,642 --> 00:46:09,726
Ah.
905
00:46:11,478 --> 00:46:15,273
You are a bit of a downer, it turns out.
906
00:46:15,273 --> 00:46:18,151
- No wonder we all mope.
- Am I?
907
00:46:19,819 --> 00:46:21,196
Am I a downer?
908
00:46:56,439 --> 00:46:57,440
How's it going?
909
00:46:58,483 --> 00:47:00,860
Slouching toward Bethlehem.
910
00:47:04,197 --> 00:47:07,325
And what kind of therapy
are we trying today?
911
00:47:09,452 --> 00:47:11,162
Yeah, you caught me.
912
00:47:11,162 --> 00:47:13,456
I'm kind of fucked up.
913
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,086
- Great.
- This is what the wives do, right?
914
00:47:20,130 --> 00:47:23,216
Drink a little wine, smoke a little pot.
915
00:47:23,216 --> 00:47:24,551
Take the air.
916
00:47:26,511 --> 00:47:28,179
Playing the part like a pro.
917
00:47:29,306 --> 00:47:32,142
I'm fucking killing myself
trying to prove to you
918
00:47:32,142 --> 00:47:34,561
that I can sit in the back seat
and just stay there.
919
00:47:34,561 --> 00:47:37,439
And it requires actual sedation.
920
00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:40,150
Jesus, Hal.
921
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:45,697
You know, the PM asked me
how he should handle Russia,
922
00:47:45,697 --> 00:47:50,827
and I talked about
purple fucking bluebirds.
923
00:47:50,827 --> 00:47:53,997
I didn't give him any advice.
I didn't call anyone.
924
00:47:53,997 --> 00:47:57,208
I didn't rally support for you
behind your back. I--
925
00:47:57,208 --> 00:47:59,628
I went for a nice walk.
926
00:47:59,628 --> 00:48:01,212
I took a swim.
927
00:48:01,212 --> 00:48:04,507
I got my dick handled by a nubile thing,
928
00:48:04,507 --> 00:48:09,179
and it behaved the way it always does
when it's not you.
929
00:48:10,013 --> 00:48:11,306
And then I came here.
930
00:48:17,854 --> 00:48:18,730
Yes?
931
00:48:23,485 --> 00:48:26,655
Trowbridge wants to reenact
the Siege of Leningrad.
932
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:32,202
Thoughts?
933
00:48:35,789 --> 00:48:37,165
It sounds bad.
934
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,920
That's your only thought?
How stoned are you?
935
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,756
I don't wanna get baited
into saying something
936
00:48:44,756 --> 00:48:46,216
that's gonna make you hate me.
937
00:48:47,342 --> 00:48:49,302
That's not what's happening here.
938
00:48:49,302 --> 00:48:51,721
All right, you want my help,
you don't want my help.
939
00:48:51,721 --> 00:48:54,849
I'm the smartest man you've ever met,
I'm the biggest idiot in the world.
940
00:48:54,849 --> 00:48:59,479
Can't we just admit
that I am not the only problem, Kate?
941
00:49:00,188 --> 00:49:01,731
What the fuck is this?
942
00:49:01,731 --> 00:49:06,194
Is this your latest stab
at saving our marriage?
943
00:49:06,194 --> 00:49:09,280
You're the wife? You do everything I ask?
944
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,201
You're so goddamn docile
I'd be psychotic to let you go?
945
00:49:17,163 --> 00:49:17,997
Yeah.
946
00:49:47,694 --> 00:49:49,696
Mario, it's Kate Wyler.
947
00:49:51,197 --> 00:49:53,700
Once more unto the morass. Shall we?
948
00:49:59,706 --> 00:50:00,707
Stuart.
949
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:05,754
- [Trowbridge] Right, back to our agenda.
- Hold on. One second.
950
00:50:05,754 --> 00:50:07,797
One, Russia. Two, Russia.
951
00:50:07,797 --> 00:50:09,466
- Three-- Julian?
- Russia.
952
00:50:09,466 --> 00:50:10,633
Russia!
953
00:50:11,384 --> 00:50:13,595
Did you get the tox screen results yet?
954
00:50:13,595 --> 00:50:15,805
Yeah, but that's not why I'm calling.
955
00:50:15,805 --> 00:50:17,640
Why don't we start there anyhow?
956
00:50:18,266 --> 00:50:20,310
It wasn't poison. It was a heart attack.
957
00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:21,978
- But that's not--
- Yes!
958
00:50:21,978 --> 00:50:24,147
Oh, I feel like a weight just...
959
00:50:24,814 --> 00:50:27,525
- I feel like I just shat a brick.
- Good for you.
960
00:50:28,151 --> 00:50:29,736
Why is the ambassador calling DoD
961
00:50:29,736 --> 00:50:31,738
for a list of targets
they'd like to paint?
962
00:50:32,947 --> 00:50:34,324
Can you, in English?
963
00:50:34,324 --> 00:50:38,328
She called the Department of Defense
and asked for a list of things
964
00:50:38,328 --> 00:50:40,914
they'd feel comfortable bombing in Russia.
965
00:50:40,914 --> 00:50:44,375
I assume the answer is there's nothing
they'd be comfortable bombing--
966
00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:47,712
If you ask the military for a list
of things they'd like to blow up,
967
00:50:48,213 --> 00:50:49,756
they have answers.
968
00:50:55,553 --> 00:50:57,096
The European Union?
969
00:50:57,722 --> 00:50:58,556
[Austin] Yes.
970
00:50:59,766 --> 00:51:01,100
And in your vision of this,
971
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:03,520
do I fellate them
before they ask or during?
972
00:51:04,604 --> 00:51:05,480
I realize this--
973
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,358
The Germans have cocks
small enough to suck while speaking,
974
00:51:08,358 --> 00:51:11,569
but the Belgians, surprisingly, do not.
975
00:51:12,362 --> 00:51:14,113
- Sir--
- We are Great Britain.
976
00:51:14,113 --> 00:51:15,990
We are Global Britain.
977
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:19,911
We are not begging the EU
for some petty bureaucratic vengeance.
978
00:51:19,911 --> 00:51:22,956
As much as we might wish to shove back,
979
00:51:22,956 --> 00:51:27,252
we cannot poke the bear with the world's
second largest nuclear arsenal.
980
00:51:28,086 --> 00:51:31,464
We do what keeps all of us
away from the nuclear ceiling.
981
00:51:31,464 --> 00:51:34,342
- Sir, I'd like to jump in for a second.
- Ma'am?
982
00:51:34,342 --> 00:51:35,593
I think he'd like a word.
983
00:51:35,593 --> 00:51:37,929
- She's busy.
- If I could I finish my thought?
984
00:51:37,929 --> 00:51:40,265
- I don't think he liked it.
- If I could get a quick word?
985
00:51:40,265 --> 00:51:43,768
So, what, this is where you propose a
strongly-worded condemnation from the UN?
986
00:51:43,768 --> 00:51:46,187
- I don't think you'd like that either.
- I wouldn't.
987
00:51:46,187 --> 00:51:48,523
Forty-one British servicemen are dead.
988
00:51:48,523 --> 00:51:52,026
It is my responsibility
to honor their sacrifice,
989
00:51:52,026 --> 00:51:55,822
give solace to their families,
and demonstrate to this nation
990
00:51:55,822 --> 00:51:58,658
that they will be protected
by their fucking government.
991
00:51:58,658 --> 00:52:01,119
It sounds like you wanna bomb something.
992
00:52:02,412 --> 00:52:03,413
Why don't we do that?
993
00:52:06,499 --> 00:52:11,671
I have a list of Russian targets
provided by the Department of Defense.
994
00:52:11,671 --> 00:52:15,550
Why don't you pick one,
and we'll blow something up?
995
00:52:21,139 --> 00:52:23,141
[theme music playing]
