1
00:00:07,425 --> 00:00:11,220
Don't play chicken with a country
that's ready to lob a tactical nuke.
2
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:13,389
Try everything before that.
3
00:00:13,389 --> 00:00:14,474
She's got a good idea.
4
00:00:14,474 --> 00:00:19,854
It hasn't escaped me that you are
an incredibly attractive, compassionate...
5
00:00:21,481 --> 00:00:22,315
man.
6
00:00:22,315 --> 00:00:25,693
But, at the moment,
we have bigger fish to fry.
7
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:28,321
I gave you 15 years. Give me a chance.
8
00:00:28,321 --> 00:00:30,490
So you're back-seat driving
the vice president?
9
00:00:30,490 --> 00:00:32,366
So I'm married to you.
10
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:36,329
We hit Russia, Russia hits back.
11
00:00:36,329 --> 00:00:39,165
But the Lenkov Group isn't Russia, right?
12
00:00:39,165 --> 00:00:43,002
Right now is the one time
you get to break shit.
13
00:00:43,002 --> 00:00:44,962
What is it that you think I should break?
14
00:00:44,962 --> 00:00:47,089
The secretary of state.
15
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:49,926
You may not see that right now,
but we're great together.
16
00:00:49,926 --> 00:00:53,638
I feel it too. I can't think when you're
in the same room. I can barely breathe.
17
00:00:53,638 --> 00:00:56,224
U.S. and the UK go to war with Russia?
18
00:00:56,224 --> 00:00:58,768
That's the kind of thing
where people have babies.
19
00:00:58,768 --> 00:01:02,396
- Are you asking me to have--?
- No. That's the whole point.
20
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,857
But, a dog?
21
00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:09,278
Do you want to be
in a public relationship with me?
22
00:01:09,278 --> 00:01:10,446
Yes.
23
00:01:10,446 --> 00:01:12,031
It's better than one, isn't it?
24
00:01:12,031 --> 00:01:12,990
What?
25
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:15,243
Two.
26
00:01:16,202 --> 00:01:17,662
[inaudible dialogue]
27
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:26,754
[Hal sighs]
28
00:01:28,089 --> 00:01:29,257
I should go.
29
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:30,341
[Kate] Where?
30
00:01:30,341 --> 00:01:33,594
[Hal] Back to my room,
before the staff find me.
31
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,930
You can relax for five minutes.
32
00:01:37,306 --> 00:01:38,850
{\an8}Are you asking me to stay?
33
00:01:39,392 --> 00:01:42,019
{\an8}I'm saying you can relax.
34
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:46,649
Are you asking me to stay?
35
00:01:46,649 --> 00:01:49,735
Are you asking me to ask you to stay?
36
00:01:49,735 --> 00:01:50,987
Should I?
37
00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:55,116
I don't know.
38
00:01:56,409 --> 00:01:57,368
Maybe.
39
00:01:59,745 --> 00:02:01,038
I shouldn't do that to you.
40
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:02,874
You should do whatever you want to me.
41
00:02:02,874 --> 00:02:05,293
[sighs] I shouldn't.
42
00:02:06,669 --> 00:02:07,837
I'm sorry.
43
00:02:07,837 --> 00:02:08,796
Why?
44
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:10,756
I didn't think you could do it.
45
00:02:10,756 --> 00:02:12,383
Because I'm an asshole.
46
00:02:12,383 --> 00:02:16,554
You are an asshole
but you had reason to worry.
47
00:02:17,221 --> 00:02:18,639
You were great.
48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,225
I always am.
Sometimes you don't know 'til later.
49
00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:25,605
You should not forgive me.
50
00:02:26,189 --> 00:02:27,148
Maybe I won't.
51
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:29,984
- Nah, I will.
- Don't do that.
52
00:02:29,984 --> 00:02:34,113
Don't make me be the only one
who thinks through the obstacles.
53
00:02:34,113 --> 00:02:35,281
I can handle it.
54
00:02:35,281 --> 00:02:37,783
I can't.
I don't like being that angry at you.
55
00:02:41,996 --> 00:02:43,206
So, what worked?
56
00:02:44,081 --> 00:02:46,125
Last few days, it worked, right?
57
00:02:46,125 --> 00:02:48,211
- It did.
- Yeah, so why?
58
00:02:48,211 --> 00:02:49,795
I don't know.
59
00:02:49,795 --> 00:02:51,589
No, you gotta make it clear.
60
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:53,674
Obviously, I don't always know.
61
00:02:55,426 --> 00:02:56,761
What worked?
62
00:02:58,262 --> 00:02:59,931
I mean, you set the agenda.
63
00:02:59,931 --> 00:03:01,515
You came up with a moonshot.
64
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:05,436
I made a few phone calls
to make you feel you weren't in it alone.
65
00:03:05,436 --> 00:03:06,646
That's not what you did.
66
00:03:06,646 --> 00:03:07,563
- No?
- No.
67
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,107
- So, what did I do?
- You made a hundred phone calls.
68
00:03:10,107 --> 00:03:13,736
You made people
feel brilliant and important.
69
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:17,615
- They run after you, desperate to help.
- They are brilliant and important.
70
00:03:17,615 --> 00:03:19,659
The guy from Phoenix?
71
00:03:19,659 --> 00:03:21,327
He's just important.
72
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:29,585
You didn't hate it?
73
00:03:31,337 --> 00:03:32,171
What?
74
00:03:33,089 --> 00:03:34,590
Being a backup singer.
75
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:35,883
No, I didn't.
76
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:39,887
I thought I would.
77
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:40,805
But, uh...
78
00:03:41,347 --> 00:03:42,181
no.
79
00:03:42,682 --> 00:03:43,808
It was kind of fun.
80
00:03:47,103 --> 00:03:49,355
I don't want to do nothing.
81
00:03:49,355 --> 00:03:50,773
Well, of course not.
82
00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:52,608
I'm not ready to retire.
83
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:54,986
I would never think that.
84
00:03:56,988 --> 00:04:00,491
You know, I didn't spend
the last decade working on my tan.
85
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:01,909
Yeah, I know that.
86
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:04,287
It can be a big job,
being a backup singer.
87
00:04:04,287 --> 00:04:06,622
That's not quite what you did.
88
00:04:06,622 --> 00:04:07,665
Humming.
89
00:04:07,665 --> 00:04:09,208
You made it all happen.
90
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:12,169
Whatever fuck-witted scheme
I came up with.
91
00:04:12,837 --> 00:04:16,340
I don't think you should start
with making it all happen.
92
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,842
- Sure.
- That could get tricky.
93
00:04:17,842 --> 00:04:19,010
Jesus, Kate,
94
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:23,055
I attended a two-day emergency meeting
of world leaders
95
00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:25,725
and I did not speak unless spoken to.
96
00:04:26,851 --> 00:04:27,685
You were so great.
97
00:04:27,685 --> 00:04:30,563
I spent a shocking amount of time
discussing the rain.
98
00:04:31,147 --> 00:04:32,732
You were so great.
99
00:04:36,193 --> 00:04:37,111
Don't go.
100
00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:38,988
Not yet.
101
00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:42,533
Do you want me to stay?
102
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:46,787
I don't know.
103
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:49,665
But I don't want you to go.
104
00:04:55,004 --> 00:04:56,422
Don't freak out.
105
00:04:56,422 --> 00:04:57,840
Love it already.
106
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,009
I wanna hit pause on...
107
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:03,846
declaring our relationship status.
108
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:07,016
- Just 'til the Russia thing plays out.
- Okay.
109
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:08,976
Is it?
110
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:09,894
Yeah.
111
00:05:10,728 --> 00:05:11,812
What?
112
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:13,439
I'm cool, it's just...
113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,316
What?
114
00:05:15,316 --> 00:05:18,319
People have waited a long time
for the Russia thing to play out.
115
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:19,278
I'm talking a week.
116
00:05:19,278 --> 00:05:22,782
Napoleon told Joséphine he wanted
to wait 'til the Russia thing played out.
117
00:05:22,782 --> 00:05:24,867
I knew this was gonna be a problem.
118
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:27,578
I don't love lying to my boss.
119
00:05:27,578 --> 00:05:32,166
She's been your boss for ten minutes.
You can not love it a little longer.
120
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:35,586
I'm in that zone where it would've been
weird to say something right off.
121
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:37,630
Now it's weird I haven't mentioned it yet.
122
00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:40,383
- I don't mention things for a living.
- Yeah, it's fucking weird.
123
00:05:40,383 --> 00:05:42,343
I don't live under the misconception
124
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:45,638
that anybody knows the whole story
of anything, ever.
125
00:05:45,638 --> 00:05:49,391
So I'm not compelled
to share everything I think I know.
126
00:05:49,391 --> 00:05:50,643
I can leave stuff out.
127
00:05:50,643 --> 00:05:51,894
Everybody does it.
128
00:05:51,894 --> 00:05:53,479
I'm just cognizant of it.
129
00:05:53,479 --> 00:05:55,231
This is some high-end rationalizing.
130
00:05:55,231 --> 00:05:58,109
Nobody needs the distraction
is the bottom line.
131
00:05:58,109 --> 00:05:59,360
That's fine.
132
00:06:03,906 --> 00:06:06,200
She's meeting Oleg Balakin today, right?
133
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:08,452
- Yeah.
- Good.
134
00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:16,127
We're messaging Russia
through every plausible official channel
135
00:06:16,127 --> 00:06:18,629
because every non-official channel's
gone cold.
136
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:20,840
Langley's been calling
old deconfliction lines
137
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:22,883
and the phones just keep ringing.
138
00:06:23,884 --> 00:06:26,303
Are you throwing me a bone?
139
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:29,515
It's a fact.
140
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:33,185
Relevant to both
of our professional portfolios.
141
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,688
This is worse than a mercy-fuck.
142
00:06:35,688 --> 00:06:39,692
This is a mercy declassification
of eyes-only intelligence.
143
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:42,862
I'm never telling you anything again.
144
00:06:42,862 --> 00:06:44,905
So all our backchannels are dead?
145
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:46,031
I don't know.
146
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:48,284
- Wait for the briefing.
- Come on.
147
00:06:48,284 --> 00:06:51,245
I was all set to parade around
with my girl on my arm.
148
00:06:51,245 --> 00:06:53,539
This just keeps getting better.
149
00:06:53,539 --> 00:06:54,999
Go to dinner with me tonight?
150
00:06:54,999 --> 00:06:56,083
Maybe.
151
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:58,502
Will you look at me over candlelight?
152
00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:01,714
Talk about Russian non-government
paramilitary organizations?
153
00:07:01,714 --> 00:07:03,674
You know I will.
154
00:07:10,139 --> 00:07:13,976
You'll meet Russian Ambassador
Oleg Balakin at the Foreign Office.
155
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:16,979
Inform him Britain knows
that the Lenkov Company,
156
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:21,108
commissioned by the Russian government,
carried out the attack on HMS Courageous.
157
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:25,613
And that Britain intends to take action
against Lenkov troops in Libya,
158
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,948
with our blessing, in the next 24 hours.
159
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:30,868
And that will be the period
at the end of the sentence.
160
00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:33,204
Not the next
in a series of escalating moves.
161
00:07:33,204 --> 00:07:34,205
[Hal] Morning.
162
00:07:34,205 --> 00:07:35,581
And to you, sir.
163
00:07:39,752 --> 00:07:40,669
All good?
164
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:41,712
[Hal] It is.
165
00:07:42,338 --> 00:07:43,255
Hmm.
166
00:07:43,923 --> 00:07:45,341
You can keep going.
167
00:07:46,509 --> 00:07:48,052
- Keep going.
- I'll wait.
168
00:07:48,052 --> 00:07:50,179
He can sit in on the briefing.
169
00:07:51,931 --> 00:07:53,516
All right, then. Um...
170
00:07:53,516 --> 00:07:56,018
You'll have talking points from State.
171
00:07:56,018 --> 00:07:59,730
The same conversation
is happening mil-to-mil, intel-to-intel,
172
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:01,023
every U.S. ambassador
173
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:03,150
to every Russian ambassador
in every country.
174
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:05,653
Why are you doing
a démarche at the Foreign Office?
175
00:08:05,653 --> 00:08:06,904
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
176
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:09,031
United front. Us and the UK.
177
00:08:09,031 --> 00:08:11,825
Why do you put eggs on top of the berries?
Now there's eggs on them.
178
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:13,285
[Hal] I'll separate it for you.
179
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:14,912
- Is that better?
- [Kate] Thank you.
180
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:17,081
- United front?
- Yes.
181
00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:19,875
Making it clear
there's no daylight between us.
182
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:22,670
He'll be meeting with Dennison
before he meets with you.
183
00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:24,964
- What's his name? Belkin?
- [Stuart] Balakin.
184
00:08:24,964 --> 00:08:26,382
Oleg Balakin.
185
00:08:26,382 --> 00:08:27,925
Russian ambassador to...
186
00:08:28,884 --> 00:08:29,969
this place.
187
00:08:30,594 --> 00:08:32,096
- You know him?
- No.
188
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:34,723
You wanna call Sergei,
find out if there's an angle?
189
00:08:34,723 --> 00:08:37,101
- Sure.
- Okay. What kind of angle?
190
00:08:37,101 --> 00:08:41,021
Whatever, you know?
He likes toast. He doesn't like toast.
191
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,816
He's a representative of
the Russian Federation. He likes alcohol.
192
00:08:43,816 --> 00:08:45,401
Didn't see it coming.
193
00:08:45,985 --> 00:08:47,278
[Hal] Be nice.
194
00:08:47,278 --> 00:08:48,612
He's nervous.
195
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:50,114
Me? No.
196
00:08:50,781 --> 00:08:53,409
- I'll stick to the talking points.
- Thank you.
197
00:08:53,409 --> 00:08:55,536
Period at the end of the sentence.
198
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,954
That's great.
199
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:01,750
He's trying to figure out
how long he should wait
200
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:04,628
before he asks if this is a sign
you're serious about VP.
201
00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,131
- What, you and me getting along?
- Yeah.
202
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:09,049
Tell him to be cool
and try not to ruin it.
203
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:12,428
Okay.
204
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:28,652
We do. Obviously, they--
205
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:29,612
Hi there.
206
00:09:29,612 --> 00:09:32,072
- Good morning.
- Oh. Morning, sir.
207
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:33,574
Are you here to see me?
208
00:09:33,574 --> 00:09:34,908
No, sadly.
209
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,035
Balakin.
210
00:09:36,035 --> 00:09:38,120
Oh. I just saw him myself. Good luck.
211
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,663
- It requires luck?
- [Austin] It might.
212
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:42,082
- Shit.
- Well, you'll be fine.
213
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,293
- He's mean, but...
- I'm meaner?
214
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:45,711
I didn't say that.
215
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:47,463
I didn't.
216
00:09:47,463 --> 00:09:48,756
[Kate] You thought it.
217
00:09:48,756 --> 00:09:51,133
The policing of thought
has gone out of fashion.
218
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:53,344
It never goes out of fashion.
219
00:09:57,765 --> 00:10:00,476
Amba-- Ambassador Balakin's
already in there.
220
00:10:00,476 --> 00:10:01,393
Shall we?
221
00:10:01,393 --> 00:10:03,312
I'm not going in. You can do the windup.
222
00:10:03,312 --> 00:10:04,229
Myself?
223
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:06,649
Then you step out
and it's just the two of them.
224
00:10:06,649 --> 00:10:08,359
Or you could do it.
225
00:10:08,359 --> 00:10:10,152
I can't welcome them.
226
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:11,403
It's your building.
227
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:13,072
Yeah.
228
00:10:20,496 --> 00:10:22,373
On behalf of His Majesty's government,
229
00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:25,501
it is my honor to introduce
the Russian ambassador
230
00:10:25,501 --> 00:10:28,587
to the Court of St. James's,
Oleg Balakin, to the American--
231
00:10:28,587 --> 00:10:29,588
That's enough.
232
00:10:31,215 --> 00:10:32,049
Yeah.
233
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:36,053
Thank you so much for taking
the time to meet with me, Ambassador.
234
00:10:36,887 --> 00:10:37,930
[door closes]
235
00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:40,349
[Kate sighs]
236
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:45,270
I understand the United Kingdom
has shared its plans
237
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:47,815
to end Lenkov Company violence in Libya.
238
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:54,863
My government would like to convey
our firm expectation
239
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:57,866
that this will be treated
as an isolated incident.
240
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:01,203
Russian retaliation
toward the United Kingdom
241
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:06,208
would inevitably draw in the United States
in support of its longtime ally.
242
00:11:14,633 --> 00:11:15,718
[clears throat]
243
00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:21,682
American arrogance is once again
matched only by its simplicity.
244
00:11:23,142 --> 00:11:27,688
By the breathtaking assumption
that a moment in time marked by tragedy
245
00:11:27,688 --> 00:11:29,815
can be stripped of its infinite complexity
246
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:33,152
by the clarity of your dislike
for the outcome.
247
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:38,073
The Lenkov Company
is a wholly independent entity,
248
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:40,617
unaffiliated with the Russian government.
249
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:44,371
Shall I hold you accountable
for the actions of Blackwater?
250
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:45,956
Or the Proud Boys?
251
00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:48,625
- Sir--
- You will wait patiently
252
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:52,129
through my lecture,
as I have waited countless times
253
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:53,964
through the moralizing of a nation
254
00:11:53,964 --> 00:11:57,384
that not only manufactures
weapons of mass destruction,
255
00:11:57,384 --> 00:12:03,849
but sells them in establishments called,
without irony, convenience stores.
256
00:12:05,601 --> 00:12:08,812
{\an8}The Lenkov Company,
like many organizations
257
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:11,398
{\an8}of well-armed illiterate men,
258
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:14,693
claims to have connections
at the highest levels in the Kremlin,
259
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:20,157
not unlike the sycophants who insist
they have the ear of your president,
260
00:12:20,157 --> 00:12:23,243
when, in fact,
they have nothing but a photo
261
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:25,787
with Mr. Rayburn's least intelligent son,
262
00:12:25,787 --> 00:12:30,751
a post for which there appears to be
constant and spirited competition,
263
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:32,878
like all such bodies...
264
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:35,172
[Balakin continues speaking indistinctly]
265
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:37,466
[tense music playing]
266
00:13:20,801 --> 00:13:24,846
Roman Lenkov has a child
with a woman called Laurissa Safonova.
267
00:13:24,846 --> 00:13:29,434
She lives in a villa he owns
in Cap d'Antibes called La Colline.
268
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:33,313
He will be there on the 30th of this month
for three days.
269
00:13:35,899 --> 00:13:37,150
When will he be there?
270
00:13:37,734 --> 00:13:39,903
The 30th, for three days.
271
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:42,698
- Where?
- Cap d'Antibes.
272
00:13:42,698 --> 00:13:43,865
Villa...
273
00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:45,284
La Colline.
274
00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:47,202
La Colline.
275
00:14:02,801 --> 00:14:04,219
[Balakin] ...we are not interested
276
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:08,056
in indulging another excuse
for the hegemonic aspirations
277
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:12,102
that live on in the increasingly
brittle memories of your president.
278
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:14,313
The next time you wish to educate us
279
00:14:14,313 --> 00:14:18,734
as to the limits of our right to protect
our citizens, at home and abroad,
280
00:14:18,734 --> 00:14:23,155
please take a moment
to exercise the imagination it may take
281
00:14:23,155 --> 00:14:24,531
to ponder the idea
282
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:27,868
that things are not as simple
as you declare them to be.
283
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:31,496
That the wishes of the Kremlin
may bear no resemblance
284
00:14:31,496 --> 00:14:33,040
to those you believe them to be.
285
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,460
And that the opportunity
for a peaceful and stable future
286
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:40,589
is unlikely to be found in an attack
on the employees of an individual
287
00:14:40,589 --> 00:14:41,798
like Roman Lenkov,
288
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:44,092
who is not an arm of my government,
289
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:48,096
but simply an internationally recognized
common criminal.
290
00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:50,307
Good day, madam.
291
00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:53,268
And please convey my warm regards
to your president.
292
00:15:02,319 --> 00:15:03,528
That sounded bad.
293
00:15:04,696 --> 00:15:05,656
You okay?
294
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:11,536
Would it be possible to speak
with the foreign secretary for a moment?
295
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:14,957
I'm afraid Mr. Dennison
is quite tightly booked today.
296
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:17,542
Is there anything I can help with?
297
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:18,877
No, thanks.
298
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:19,795
We should go.
299
00:15:19,795 --> 00:15:21,213
Sorry for the fuss.
300
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:30,597
I'd like to stretch my legs.
301
00:15:31,098 --> 00:15:32,182
She's on the run.
302
00:15:33,225 --> 00:15:34,267
This happens.
303
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:35,352
You can come.
304
00:15:45,487 --> 00:15:47,364
They're offering us Lenkov.
305
00:15:47,364 --> 00:15:48,448
The Russians.
306
00:15:49,032 --> 00:15:50,409
They're giving him up.
307
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:54,037
He'll be in France in ten days.
They're telling us to arrest him.
308
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:55,831
- What does that...?
- Mean?
309
00:15:57,416 --> 00:16:00,210
Either the Kremlin's fucking with us...
310
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:04,006
or they didn't do it.
311
00:16:04,006 --> 00:16:05,298
Russia...
312
00:16:06,216 --> 00:16:07,551
didn't do it?
313
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:11,388
[line ringing]
314
00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:13,807
- [Ronnie] Hello?
- Ronnie, could you tell Ms. Park
315
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:16,935
that we need to have a meeting
of the Tax Structure Review Team?
316
00:16:16,935 --> 00:16:17,853
- Today?
- Yeah.
317
00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:18,937
- Right away.
- On it.
318
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:27,696
That's okay. I'm just reading the paper.
319
00:16:27,696 --> 00:16:30,866
- Absolutely. Sorry, sir.
- No, you don't need to...
320
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,285
What does this mean?
321
00:16:34,786 --> 00:16:37,831
They'd like to see you at the embassy.
322
00:16:38,415 --> 00:16:39,416
Who's "they"?
323
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:43,420
Uh, I'm afraid I don't know.
324
00:16:44,087 --> 00:16:45,505
Did they say why?
325
00:16:47,174 --> 00:16:48,592
Again, sorry.
326
00:16:49,593 --> 00:16:51,428
They've just asked that you come in.
327
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:54,681
Was it Kate? If it wasn't Kate,
someone should tell her they asked.
328
00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:57,184
I don't want her to think I'm horning in.
329
00:16:57,184 --> 00:16:59,561
You don't know. It's fine. Thank you.
330
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:01,980
[softly] Thank you.
331
00:17:05,942 --> 00:17:09,237
They're giving him up.
They're telling us to arrest him.
332
00:17:09,237 --> 00:17:11,156
They gave me a fucking address.
333
00:17:11,156 --> 00:17:13,784
- And this is because...?
- They didn't do it.
334
00:17:13,784 --> 00:17:15,368
That's the message.
335
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:17,204
They may be fucking with you.
336
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:20,165
Absolutely.
337
00:17:20,165 --> 00:17:22,542
- Or they didn't do it.
- Yeah.
338
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:25,545
Lenkov's a well-guarded guy.
Nobody ever knows where he is.
339
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:26,963
This is something.
340
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:28,715
Maybe they didn't do it.
341
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,843
But they're not saying, like, Cuba did it.
342
00:17:31,843 --> 00:17:33,345
They're saying Lenkov did.
343
00:17:33,345 --> 00:17:35,555
He's a gun for hire.
Somebody else hired him.
344
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:36,681
That could be anybody.
345
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:38,600
Lenkov knows who hired him.
346
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,895
They're saying arrest the guy
and he'll tell you who hired him.
347
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:43,730
Or he's a scapegoat.
348
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:46,108
Maybe we take the scapegoat
and call it a day.
349
00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:47,859
I mean, he's a bad guy.
350
00:17:47,859 --> 00:17:48,777
Lenkov?
351
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:50,028
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
352
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:52,489
I need to talk to Dennison.
353
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:56,076
- You need to talk to the White House.
- [Eidra] And Langley.
354
00:17:56,076 --> 00:17:59,621
And I'm not sure this should happen
over airwaves. Maybe you go there.
355
00:17:59,621 --> 00:18:00,664
[Stuart] Can I just...?
356
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,167
- Why her?
- I'm approachable.
357
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:06,753
- Are you?
- Yes.
358
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:09,214
[Eidra] The Iran thing
gave her some buzz and...
359
00:18:10,132 --> 00:18:11,091
And what?
360
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:13,176
You're the right level.
361
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,888
You're not nobody,
but not really somebody either.
362
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:18,014
That's...
363
00:18:19,141 --> 00:18:20,350
fair.
364
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:22,185
They don't want this going wide.
365
00:18:22,185 --> 00:18:23,311
The Kremlin?
366
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,355
They love their reputation.
367
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,066
They're badasses. They'll shoot at anyone.
368
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,359
Ukraine, UK.
369
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,319
They don't wanna call the White House
and say,
370
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,864
"We're innocent
and that nasty Lenkov got us in trouble."
371
00:18:33,864 --> 00:18:37,617
So you quietly tell somebody
who's not really anybody.
372
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:41,663
We should get somebody
from the Russia desk in here to brief you.
373
00:18:41,663 --> 00:18:44,249
And then let's get you on a plane to D.C.
374
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,252
We don't know what it's about, exactly,
375
00:18:47,252 --> 00:18:50,005
but they asked us
to get you on a secure line.
376
00:18:50,589 --> 00:18:51,423
Hal?
377
00:18:52,174 --> 00:18:54,092
- Jesus fucking Christ.
- [chuckling]
378
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:56,303
I heard you were knocking around.
I didn't believe it.
379
00:18:56,303 --> 00:18:57,888
- What are you doing here?
- I live here.
380
00:18:57,888 --> 00:18:59,931
- What the fuck is this?
- You're an asshole.
381
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:01,349
So you around? Can I take you out?
382
00:19:01,349 --> 00:19:03,560
- Get you plastered?
- I'm so sorry, sir. Just--
383
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,688
Oh. I got the White House on the horn.
She'll take your number.
384
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:08,773
I'll take you out
for an overcooked English steak.
385
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:09,691
[Hal] Deal.
386
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:15,280
- [Dan] Morning.
- Hey, Dan.
387
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:18,950
She's stepping in.
388
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:21,703
Hey.
389
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:24,915
I'm gonna get into trouble for this.
390
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:27,626
- Why?
- I'm trying to keep out of her hair.
391
00:19:27,626 --> 00:19:28,585
Really?
392
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:30,795
Is that what you did at the country house
393
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:33,840
with the 19-part plan
to liberate Libyans in Libya?
394
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,217
Singing backup.
395
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:37,427
What happened with Ganon?
396
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:38,595
He's a fuck face.
397
00:19:38,595 --> 00:19:40,222
Can you be more specific?
398
00:19:40,222 --> 00:19:44,267
You know what happened.
He's launching a presidential campaign
399
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:46,853
and he's trying to hide it
from a president
400
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,856
who's stated clearly he does not like
being used as a step-stool,
401
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:52,484
which is disqualifying on loyalty grounds.
402
00:19:52,484 --> 00:19:55,779
Much worse is
he can't even cover his own tracks,
403
00:19:55,779 --> 00:19:58,323
which is disqualifying
on he's-a-fucking-idiot grounds.
404
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,576
How's Kate?
405
00:20:01,576 --> 00:20:02,994
She's good. Yeah.
406
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:04,037
Great.
407
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:04,955
Is she?
408
00:20:04,955 --> 00:20:06,039
Yeah.
409
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,251
Is the VP idea taking root?
410
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:12,337
Uh, yeah, it is, actually.
411
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:13,255
I think it is.
412
00:20:13,255 --> 00:20:15,173
She did what she set out to do.
413
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,175
She made London into a real job.
414
00:20:17,175 --> 00:20:21,638
Yeah, she did.
She's turned it into something pivotal.
415
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:24,140
- You're proud.
- Yeah, I am.
416
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:26,476
She deserves it.
417
00:20:26,476 --> 00:20:27,978
And she's good at it.
418
00:20:27,978 --> 00:20:29,062
Good.
419
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:32,774
- That's it?
- I just wanna make sure she's solid.
420
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:35,986
'Cause things are gonna get bumpy.
421
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:38,780
Why?
422
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:43,201
I'm glad we're not going to war
with Russia.
423
00:20:43,201 --> 00:20:44,494
Oh, yeah?
424
00:20:44,494 --> 00:20:46,246
I wasn't up for it.
425
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:48,665
I think we were all pretty freaked out.
426
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:50,375
People...
427
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:57,507
I heard somebody talking about
getting, like, a dog.
428
00:20:57,507 --> 00:20:59,801
- Or a baby.
- No.
429
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,388
Because we were gonna
go to war with Russia?
430
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:04,431
Apocalypse babies.
431
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:06,391
- That's a terrible idea.
- Isn't it?
432
00:21:06,391 --> 00:21:07,851
War with Russia is nuclear.
433
00:21:07,851 --> 00:21:09,853
Those babies are gonna get irradiated.
434
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:11,438
It's fucking ridiculous.
435
00:21:13,064 --> 00:21:14,316
I like dogs, though.
436
00:21:15,275 --> 00:21:18,320
Did you start, like,
trolling for strays online?
437
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,321
No.
438
00:21:20,238 --> 00:21:21,448
I kind of knew.
439
00:21:22,282 --> 00:21:23,700
That they didn't do it.
440
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,243
- Russia?
- [Eidra] Yeah.
441
00:21:25,243 --> 00:21:29,122
Everyone in the Russian establishment
was like, "We did it.
442
00:21:29,122 --> 00:21:32,250
Not my office,
but clearly, something we'd do."
443
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:34,919
We couldn't find the origin of the order.
444
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:37,964
Intelligence chiefs, oligarchs, generals,
445
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:39,799
nobody was read in.
446
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,218
And these are people who are read in.
447
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:43,303
That's weird.
448
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:46,014
It's less weird if Russia didn't do it.
449
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:47,640
Ah. Yeah.
450
00:21:49,059 --> 00:21:50,935
You can still get a dog.
451
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:52,228
I don't want a dog.
452
00:21:53,897 --> 00:21:56,107
- The Russia guy?
- Yeah, you ready?
453
00:21:56,107 --> 00:21:58,276
- Yeah.
- We're not telling the Russia guy?
454
00:21:58,276 --> 00:22:00,695
We're not.
We're asking questions about Lenkov.
455
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:03,448
Which we'd have asked even if
we were still going with the Libya plan.
456
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:04,491
Okay.
457
00:22:04,491 --> 00:22:06,701
Carly Green from the Russia desk.
458
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:09,579
- Hi.
- Hi.
459
00:22:10,121 --> 00:22:11,289
Is Carly...?
460
00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:12,582
The Russia person.
461
00:22:12,582 --> 00:22:14,959
- Okay. Great.
- I'm older than I look.
462
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:18,171
- You'd have to be.
- I was number six at the Russia desk,
463
00:22:18,171 --> 00:22:21,007
then everyone got moved
to Langley or Kyiv.
464
00:22:21,007 --> 00:22:22,008
Wow.
465
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:25,345
The Agency spent 25 years
training Middle East specialists.
466
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:28,348
Then it was all-hands on Russia.
There weren't a lot of hands to be had.
467
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:32,227
- Those of us who speak Russian moved up.
- Is your background Cold War or post-'91?
468
00:22:32,227 --> 00:22:35,688
Uh, my background is Tolstoy's influence
on the later work of Chekhov.
469
00:22:38,525 --> 00:22:41,319
- Sorry. Ma'am, could you--?
- Not a great time. Can it wait?
470
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:43,154
- Uh--
- Is it Mr. Hayford?
471
00:22:43,154 --> 00:22:45,281
No. It's Mr. Wyler.
472
00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:51,079
[door opens, then closes]
473
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:53,206
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- [Hal] No.
474
00:22:53,206 --> 00:22:55,291
When you said you didn't know
where the line is,
475
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,001
it's like eight feet behind you.
476
00:22:57,001 --> 00:22:59,379
The president wants to fire
the secretary of state.
477
00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:02,966
- Because of her?
- [Hal] No.
478
00:23:02,966 --> 00:23:05,468
- [Kate] What, are you fucking stupid?
- It's not because of you.
479
00:23:05,468 --> 00:23:07,470
It absolutely is.
I served him up on a platter.
480
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:09,514
Let me put this
in the way you would to me.
481
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:13,852
The narcissism involved
in assuming that you managed
482
00:23:13,852 --> 00:23:16,813
- to get the secretary of state canned--
- He's not canned, right?
483
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:19,566
No. But I don't like his odds.
484
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:20,984
Fuck me.
485
00:23:20,984 --> 00:23:23,570
The president has been waiting
for Miguel Ganon
486
00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:25,738
to stab him in the back
since the day he hired him.
487
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,158
He's secretary of state
'cause you keep your enemies closer.
488
00:23:28,158 --> 00:23:31,452
I thought he'd get benched for a week.
I didn't want him fired.
489
00:23:31,452 --> 00:23:33,288
- It'll fuck up his whole life.
- No.
490
00:23:33,288 --> 00:23:36,249
He does this chin tucking thing
every time the president talks.
491
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:37,167
Ganon?
492
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:40,461
It's like he's trying to disappear
down his own neck.
493
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:41,838
The man's not subtle.
494
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:44,090
Try not to sound excited. Okay?
495
00:23:44,716 --> 00:23:45,675
[Hal sighs]
496
00:23:46,718 --> 00:23:48,094
I gotta get on a plane.
497
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:49,929
- Where?
- [Kate] D.C.
498
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,764
- [Hal] What, because of Ganon?
- No.
499
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:55,101
You can't march into the Oval Office
and demand he doesn't fire Ganon.
500
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:57,979
- It's not why I'm going.
- Why are you going?
501
00:23:58,563 --> 00:24:00,940
Sweetheart, it's fucking classified.
502
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:03,109
[door opens]
503
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:04,402
[door closes]
504
00:24:04,402 --> 00:24:06,404
You'll head straight to Langley
from the airport,
505
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:08,406
brief Michelle, brief Roger Post.
506
00:24:08,406 --> 00:24:11,451
They'll put it through the mill while you
go to State to brief Tim and Ganon.
507
00:24:11,451 --> 00:24:13,578
[Kate] Okay. Say what you just said to me.
508
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:16,122
She goes to Langley
to brief Roger and Michelle.
509
00:24:16,122 --> 00:24:19,125
They'll put it through the mill
while she goes to brief Tim and Ganon.
510
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:23,213
- Oh. Can somebody else brief Ganon?
- Tim can brief Ganon.
511
00:24:23,213 --> 00:24:24,505
[Eidra] I guess.
512
00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:27,759
It's a big get.
You sure you don't wanna bring it in?
513
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:29,928
Ah, might be better coming from Tim.
514
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:32,847
I'm on his shit list.
515
00:24:32,847 --> 00:24:34,557
- Ganon's?
- It's fine.
516
00:24:35,433 --> 00:24:37,852
Okay. Tim brings it through State,
517
00:24:37,852 --> 00:24:39,979
you go to the White House,
brief in the Oval.
518
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:44,150
- You okay?
- Yeah.
519
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:46,361
Just a big pivot after all that.
520
00:24:46,361 --> 00:24:48,238
- Yeah.
- [Kate] Trowbridge will hate it.
521
00:24:48,238 --> 00:24:50,073
[Eidra] That's tomorrow's problem.
522
00:24:50,073 --> 00:24:53,201
Today, you wanna show the Russians
we're taking the tip seriously.
523
00:24:53,201 --> 00:24:55,912
Hand-delivering it to D.C.
is a meaningful sign.
524
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:57,372
Who tells Trowbridge?
525
00:24:57,372 --> 00:25:00,250
I'm heading to MI6
as soon as you're in the air.
526
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:02,794
- They'll bring it to Number 10.
- And Dennison?
527
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:05,004
They'll tell him.
528
00:25:10,593 --> 00:25:12,095
We've built a relationship.
529
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,430
I'm here to tell him things.
That's the point.
530
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:21,521
[Hal] Don't look at me
like I'm being a shit.
531
00:25:21,521 --> 00:25:22,814
You are.
532
00:25:22,814 --> 00:25:25,733
The president's watching you.
You can't be wringing your hands
533
00:25:25,733 --> 00:25:28,236
'cause you just discovered
actions have consequences.
534
00:25:28,236 --> 00:25:30,321
- This is the bigs.
- [knocking on door]
535
00:25:35,243 --> 00:25:36,244
For the trip.
536
00:25:41,165 --> 00:25:42,375
I prefer black.
537
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,876
I'm aware of that.
538
00:25:49,841 --> 00:25:52,552
- I'm starting at the beginning?
- They know what you told me.
539
00:25:52,552 --> 00:25:54,971
- But if they have questions...
- Got it.
540
00:25:56,514 --> 00:25:58,558
- What'd you have for lunch?
- Um...
541
00:25:59,267 --> 00:26:01,477
- Yogurt.
- You're wearing it.
542
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:02,770
- [door opens]
- [Billie] Hi.
543
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:04,272
You, for a second.
544
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:07,775
- Fuck.
- [door closes]
545
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:23,541
[scoffs]
546
00:26:26,627 --> 00:26:28,212
No. No, no, no.
547
00:26:30,006 --> 00:26:31,674
- No, no.
- [woman] Kate?
548
00:26:32,633 --> 00:26:35,053
- Jill. Hi.
- Oh, hey.
549
00:26:36,888 --> 00:26:37,847
I didn't pee.
550
00:26:37,847 --> 00:26:39,974
- Okay.
- This.
551
00:26:39,974 --> 00:26:42,101
- Oh.
- This suit is not black.
552
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:43,811
Do you want a towel?
553
00:26:43,811 --> 00:26:45,646
No. It'll probably air dry.
554
00:26:47,065 --> 00:26:50,109
- Maybe cover it.
- Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah.
555
00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:52,278
Are you around? Can we get a drink?
556
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:54,155
- Ambassador?
- Yeah, sure.
557
00:26:54,155 --> 00:26:55,198
Um...
558
00:26:55,907 --> 00:26:58,117
I-- I'll call you after this.
559
00:26:58,117 --> 00:26:59,369
Okay.
560
00:26:59,369 --> 00:27:01,829
- [Billie] Tell me we confirmed her tip.
- [Roger] We confirmed.
561
00:27:01,829 --> 00:27:03,706
- [general] With who?
- [Roger] Source in Prague.
562
00:27:03,706 --> 00:27:05,750
He took a trip to Coventry. It lines up.
563
00:27:07,168 --> 00:27:09,462
Good to see each and every one of you.
564
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:11,464
Anything we didn't know an hour ago?
565
00:27:11,464 --> 00:27:13,591
- [Roger] We're double sourced.
- [Rayburn] Thoughts?
566
00:27:13,591 --> 00:27:15,343
- We're a yes.
- Same.
567
00:27:16,052 --> 00:27:18,846
- France will light their hair on fire.
- We're getting into it.
568
00:27:18,846 --> 00:27:21,891
They like to be asked and say no
a few times before they say yes.
569
00:27:21,891 --> 00:27:24,685
- We'll make a fuss, make it feel good.
- How about the Brits?
570
00:27:24,685 --> 00:27:26,270
- They'll get there.
- The--
571
00:27:26,270 --> 00:27:29,273
Are we putting a pin in the Libya plan
or full-on scrapping it?
572
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:31,901
- No pin.
- [Kate] The PM isn't gonna love this.
573
00:27:31,901 --> 00:27:35,738
His agenda on the domestic side makes
the previous option a lot more attractive.
574
00:27:35,738 --> 00:27:38,408
- Until we've spoken to him--
- Secretary Ganon did.
575
00:27:38,866 --> 00:27:40,243
- [Leiber] He's in?
- He'll get there.
576
00:27:40,743 --> 00:27:42,787
[general] I don't love cleaning house
for the Kremlin.
577
00:27:42,787 --> 00:27:45,581
It's the Brits, and the alternative
was a harebrained scheme
578
00:27:45,581 --> 00:27:47,333
to lose our pants in Libya.
579
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:51,045
- Talk to the French.
- Thanks, everybody.
580
00:27:51,045 --> 00:27:53,423
Really great work. Danny? Tokyo.
581
00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:55,007
[Danny] Make it clear we're not happy.
582
00:27:55,007 --> 00:27:57,135
[Rayburn] Why can't Australia scold Tokyo?
583
00:27:57,135 --> 00:27:58,928
[Ganon]
Australia doesn't wanna get involved.
584
00:27:58,928 --> 00:27:59,929
[Rayburn] Neither do I.
585
00:27:59,929 --> 00:28:02,557
[Billie] The president can weigh in
but if it'll eat the meeting...
586
00:28:02,557 --> 00:28:03,474
[Ganon] It shouldn't.
587
00:28:14,610 --> 00:28:16,028
[rock music playing]
588
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:29,083
Oh. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
589
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:30,877
No, don't worry. I was early.
590
00:28:30,877 --> 00:28:33,963
The meeting ended sooner than I thought.
591
00:28:33,963 --> 00:28:35,173
Oval Office.
592
00:28:35,173 --> 00:28:37,550
- Fancy-pants-y.
- Yeah, fuck that.
593
00:28:40,011 --> 00:28:40,970
Hi.
594
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:43,014
So how's it going?
595
00:28:43,014 --> 00:28:45,099
I mean, have you been over there?
596
00:28:45,099 --> 00:28:47,310
Ah, I've been to Doha.
597
00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:49,145
They won't let me into Kabul.
598
00:28:50,146 --> 00:28:52,857
- They were gonna let all of us in.
- They were.
599
00:28:52,857 --> 00:28:56,778
And then when your appointment
got scrapped, they pushed pause.
600
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:58,321
Shit.
601
00:28:59,864 --> 00:29:01,866
Have you talked to Bazya?
602
00:29:01,866 --> 00:29:03,159
No.
603
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:06,746
I wanted to call her, but things got so...
604
00:29:06,746 --> 00:29:08,539
- Busy?
- Insane.
605
00:29:08,539 --> 00:29:09,749
I'm sure.
606
00:29:09,749 --> 00:29:12,251
- I'll call her.
- You don't have to call her.
607
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:15,421
- No. Of course I'm gonna fucking call her.
- Bazya doesn't have a phone.
608
00:29:15,421 --> 00:29:18,049
They took away her phone and her computer.
609
00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:19,091
Fuck.
610
00:29:19,091 --> 00:29:21,928
She's not allowed to leave
the house without Hussein.
611
00:29:21,928 --> 00:29:25,306
Hey, excuse me?
Do you have a chardonnay? Thanks.
612
00:29:26,390 --> 00:29:27,809
So, what are you doing?
613
00:29:27,809 --> 00:29:29,435
Trying to get people out.
614
00:29:29,435 --> 00:29:31,479
How many are still left?
615
00:29:31,479 --> 00:29:34,857
Uh, people who can prove
that they worked for us
616
00:29:34,857 --> 00:29:38,194
and have a legitimate fear for their lives
if they stay in the country?
617
00:29:38,194 --> 00:29:39,779
About 35,000.
618
00:29:41,030 --> 00:29:44,325
- I wanna hear what you're doing in London.
- I'm doing nothing.
619
00:29:44,325 --> 00:29:45,743
Did Par get out?
620
00:29:45,743 --> 00:29:48,037
- Kate, well...
- Yes or no?
621
00:29:49,664 --> 00:29:53,626
She went to a protest and the Taliban beat
the shit out of her with a rubber pipe.
622
00:29:53,626 --> 00:29:55,920
But only on her boobs and her crotch,
623
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,215
so she couldn't take pictures
to prove to anyone that it had happened.
624
00:29:59,215 --> 00:30:01,467
Then she went to another protest,
625
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:03,970
and they took her away.
626
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:05,555
Probably she's dead.
627
00:30:08,224 --> 00:30:10,059
We like to think she's in jail.
628
00:30:18,901 --> 00:30:21,487
It's smart.
Two of you for the price of one.
629
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:24,657
- It's just Kate. It is.
- Ah? Are you really not helping?
630
00:30:24,657 --> 00:30:28,619
You're not telling her how to suck up to
Brussels without emasculating the French?
631
00:30:28,619 --> 00:30:30,204
She doesn't need my help.
632
00:30:30,204 --> 00:30:32,582
Yeah? Well, curl up with me
and talk about my problems.
633
00:30:32,582 --> 00:30:34,417
Come work at the Institute.
634
00:30:34,417 --> 00:30:36,878
I'm surrounded by children
with PhDs in history,
635
00:30:36,878 --> 00:30:39,463
trying to teach me the lessons of Vietnam.
636
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:41,883
- That's gotta have an upside.
- It doesn't.
637
00:30:41,883 --> 00:30:43,843
You can't fuck anybody anymore.
638
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:45,803
You can't even marry anybody.
639
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:48,806
That shit you pulled with Kate?
Keep it quiet for months,
640
00:30:48,806 --> 00:30:50,600
then invite everybody to the wedding?
641
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,977
- Those days are over.
- Saddest story I ever heard.
642
00:30:52,977 --> 00:30:55,813
Whitehall is a mess.
The SNP want our nukes out of Scotland.
643
00:30:55,813 --> 00:30:58,441
GCHQ is shitting their pants about China.
644
00:30:58,441 --> 00:30:59,775
There's a ton of work for you.
645
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:03,154
I'd love to.
But I'm not ready to take a job.
646
00:31:06,324 --> 00:31:07,783
Are you replacing Ganon?
647
00:31:10,703 --> 00:31:12,330
What are you talking about?
648
00:31:12,330 --> 00:31:15,666
Ganon burned the president on something.
Larry said it was about Mexico.
649
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:17,919
Larry? Larry makes shit up.
650
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:19,003
Yeah?
651
00:31:20,046 --> 00:31:22,840
The secretary of state
takes a long walk off a short pier...
652
00:31:24,091 --> 00:31:25,343
it should be you.
653
00:31:26,928 --> 00:31:30,056
Can you get this guy another drink,
see if we can get him to pass out?
654
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:32,058
[Lewis chuckling]
655
00:31:36,646 --> 00:31:37,730
Still not back?
656
00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:39,148
She's in the elevator.
657
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:43,402
Welcome back.
658
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:46,697
- Why don't I send Dr. Brady up?
- Byron, I swear to God.
659
00:31:46,697 --> 00:31:49,158
- I suggested we start at the house.
- What's going on?
660
00:31:49,158 --> 00:31:52,244
Byron's never seen a woman
with a hangover before.
661
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:56,457
- [Ronnie] Welcome back.
- Morning, Ronnie.
662
00:31:56,457 --> 00:31:57,959
[Ronnie] It's not morning, ma'am.
663
00:31:57,959 --> 00:32:01,045
The prime minister wants
to see you in an hour.
664
00:32:09,095 --> 00:32:10,221
Where?
665
00:32:11,347 --> 00:32:13,599
Uh, he has an event at the IoD.
666
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,601
He'll find a minute to step out.
667
00:32:23,234 --> 00:32:24,944
Is Dennison gonna be there?
668
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:26,821
I don't know.
669
00:32:26,821 --> 00:32:28,239
Well, he should be.
670
00:32:28,239 --> 00:32:31,367
The PM is gonna lose his fucking mind.
671
00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:34,161
[Stuart] Somebody taught me
that if you are really tired
672
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:35,913
and you change your shoes,
673
00:32:35,913 --> 00:32:38,082
you trick your body
into thinking it's morning.
674
00:32:38,833 --> 00:32:42,128
Maybe change your shoes...
and everything else.
675
00:32:48,217 --> 00:32:49,468
Do you see this?
676
00:32:50,845 --> 00:32:52,013
[Stuart] Yeah, I do.
677
00:32:52,513 --> 00:32:54,432
This is why I wear a black suit.
678
00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:58,853
This doesn't show on a black suit.
679
00:33:01,564 --> 00:33:03,399
It makes me look insane.
680
00:33:06,277 --> 00:33:08,696
- How about I get you something black?
- Great.
681
00:33:11,615 --> 00:33:12,950
Pants.
682
00:33:13,617 --> 00:33:15,578
No fucking dresses.
683
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:20,041
[door closes]
684
00:33:21,167 --> 00:33:22,960
- [knocking on door]
- Yeah?
685
00:33:31,802 --> 00:33:35,056
They marched into Ukraine,
and thought to buy our assent
686
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:37,183
with the price of petrol.
687
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:39,685
We thought, no.
688
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:42,563
We ended the import of Russian oil.
689
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:47,735
And though the winds grew cold
and fuel grew dear,
690
00:33:47,735 --> 00:33:49,945
our homes blazed forth
691
00:33:49,945 --> 00:33:53,032
- with the bright lights of freedom.
- Yeah, just hang on. I'm stepping outside.
692
00:33:53,032 --> 00:33:55,201
[Trowbridge]
Cold winds blew through the land...
693
00:33:56,118 --> 00:33:58,120
No, still here. Yeah.
694
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,039
[mouthing words]
695
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:02,583
- [Trowbridge] Thank you.
- [crowd applauding]
696
00:34:19,642 --> 00:34:20,851
[door closes]
697
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:24,688
- Twelve minutes.
- Prime Minister.
698
00:34:24,688 --> 00:34:27,149
Twelve minutes
699
00:34:27,149 --> 00:34:30,736
after I told Libya I was saving them
from the Lenkov troops.
700
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:33,697
That's when I got the Ganon call.
701
00:34:34,782 --> 00:34:38,369
I had already accepted Libya's thanks,
kissed the royal ring.
702
00:34:38,953 --> 00:34:41,288
And 12 minutes later,
703
00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:45,876
in a phone call lasting one minute
and 42 seconds, thank you kindly,
704
00:34:45,876 --> 00:34:48,963
Ganon told me,
in no uncertain terms, to pull back.
705
00:34:52,049 --> 00:34:54,260
Turned the words to soap in my mouth.
706
00:34:55,094 --> 00:34:57,888
Informed me to inform Libya to sit tight
707
00:34:57,888 --> 00:35:00,766
whilst the Americans
changed our minds for us.
708
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:04,019
The president wants
what's best for the UK.
709
00:35:04,019 --> 00:35:05,271
Don't embarrass yourself.
710
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:07,439
He didn't feel
we could ignore the possibility
711
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:09,984
that the Russian state
was not behind the attack.
712
00:35:09,984 --> 00:35:13,195
We're not going after the Russian state.
We're going after naughty mercenaries.
713
00:35:13,195 --> 00:35:14,613
Does this ring a bell?
714
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:16,907
If there is any way to de-escalate--
715
00:35:16,907 --> 00:35:18,993
What happened to deterrence?
716
00:35:18,993 --> 00:35:20,911
- He lost interest?
- No.
717
00:35:20,911 --> 00:35:23,789
I was led to believe--
by, if memory serves, you--
718
00:35:23,789 --> 00:35:27,585
that the president also thought
that peace in Libya was worth our time.
719
00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:31,589
Does he believe that the arrest
of some nameless Russian mafioso
720
00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:35,384
by a posse of frogs will answer
the deaths of 40 servicemen?
721
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:39,221
If we bring in Lenkov,
he will tell us who actually hired him.
722
00:35:39,221 --> 00:35:40,931
That will take forever.
723
00:35:41,891 --> 00:35:45,686
The president understands that,
and he's not thrilled about it.
724
00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:49,440
I told Ganon, in no uncertain terms,
that an extended delay was not acceptable.
725
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,234
It was not responsive
to the needs of the United Kingdom.
726
00:35:52,234 --> 00:35:54,153
Ganon brought up your concerns.
727
00:35:55,154 --> 00:35:56,238
And so did I.
728
00:35:58,449 --> 00:35:59,450
To the president?
729
00:35:59,450 --> 00:36:01,202
In the Oval Office.
730
00:36:03,162 --> 00:36:05,789
Nobody is ignoring the trade-offs.
731
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:11,795
The president is incredibly grateful
for your patience.
732
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:17,134
He does not have it.
733
00:36:20,471 --> 00:36:22,223
There was something refreshing
about the days
734
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:25,100
when America looked us in the face
and said we should go fuck ourselves.
735
00:36:26,185 --> 00:36:29,855
Now we're back to getting
dry-buggered and told it's love.
736
00:36:31,565 --> 00:36:32,650
[door opens]
737
00:36:33,192 --> 00:36:35,569
[somber music playing]
738
00:36:46,997 --> 00:36:48,874
- How did it go?
- [Kate] Great.
739
00:36:51,168 --> 00:36:53,379
Did you talk about the vice presidency?
740
00:36:54,004 --> 00:36:54,838
No.
741
00:36:56,131 --> 00:36:57,466
Not even with Billie?
742
00:36:57,466 --> 00:36:58,384
Nope.
743
00:37:02,054 --> 00:37:03,764
She say anything about Ganon?
744
00:37:04,515 --> 00:37:05,516
She did not.
745
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,020
Did you ask?
746
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:14,024
I said no words, Hal.
Not to the president, not to Billie.
747
00:37:14,024 --> 00:37:17,611
I briefed at Langley.
They put my information into the mill.
748
00:37:17,611 --> 00:37:21,448
I was in the Oval Office
with 90 other people for 40 seconds,
749
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,200
and then I was gone.
750
00:37:24,201 --> 00:37:25,160
Oh, shit.
751
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,955
Then Trowbridge requested my presence
752
00:37:27,955 --> 00:37:32,334
for a blow-by-blow of how the plan
I shoved down his throat vaporized.
753
00:37:32,334 --> 00:37:34,169
- Libya?
- They're going another way.
754
00:37:34,169 --> 00:37:36,171
- A better way?
- Not if you ask Trowbridge.
755
00:37:36,171 --> 00:37:39,383
- What did you say?
- I said I tried.
756
00:37:39,383 --> 00:37:41,969
I said the president feels his pain.
757
00:37:41,969 --> 00:37:45,264
I said I fell to my knees
in front of the Resolute Desk
758
00:37:45,264 --> 00:37:47,474
and begged the president to reconsider.
759
00:37:47,474 --> 00:37:49,727
But on further reflection,
760
00:37:49,727 --> 00:37:54,315
it's clear that this is really
what's best for the United Kingdom.
761
00:37:55,149 --> 00:38:00,112
I definitely didn't say I stood quietly
in the Oval like a fucking moron
762
00:38:00,112 --> 00:38:02,656
while Ganon drove a tractor over my face.
763
00:38:12,875 --> 00:38:14,084
I saw Jill.
764
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:18,297
Klein?
765
00:38:23,177 --> 00:38:24,011
Bad?
766
00:38:25,512 --> 00:38:26,764
[scoffs]
767
00:38:26,764 --> 00:38:28,599
What the fuck do you think?
768
00:38:36,065 --> 00:38:39,276
I need to call Dennison
and tell him where we're at.
769
00:38:41,695 --> 00:38:42,696
[Kate sighs]
770
00:38:45,908 --> 00:38:47,368
Bit late, no?
771
00:38:50,371 --> 00:38:54,124
Trowbridge is gonna
try to blow it all up, so...
772
00:38:59,963 --> 00:39:01,882
You can call him in the morning.
773
00:39:49,972 --> 00:39:51,974
[somber music playing]
774
00:40:12,202 --> 00:40:14,204
