00:00:10,885 --> 00:00:12,721
Kate, they want a briefing.
2
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:15,098
I gotta go.
White House wants Hal to brief.
3
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:16,641
Not me. You.
4
00:00:16,641 --> 00:00:20,228
The president is asking you to serve
as ambassador to the United Kingdom.
5
00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:23,398
Gonna tell you something five people know.
We're gonna lose the vice president.
6
00:00:23,398 --> 00:00:26,651
So we need somebody else.
I have a few ideas, but one of them...
7
00:00:26,651 --> 00:00:28,361
I want you to check her out.
8
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,029
Welcome to London, Ambassador Wyler.
9
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:32,073
You need to lean
into the Cinderella thing.
10
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:34,534
I'm not Cinderella.
I'm here for 30 funerals.
11
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:36,661
- Eidra Park.
- [Stuart] CIA chief of station.
12
00:00:36,661 --> 00:00:39,873
We can't see markings, but looks like
the kind Iran's been stockpiling.
13
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,375
- Means it's Iran.
- Means it's an Iranian boat.
14
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:44,252
Wasn't I sending you to Kabul?
15
00:00:44,252 --> 00:00:47,172
- Ganon's trying to get rid of you.
- Know who you can't fire?
16
00:00:47,172 --> 00:00:48,840
- Cinderella.
- [Stuart] Wow.
17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,592
Is Mr. Wyler leaving?
18
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:52,635
He will get me on my feet...
19
00:00:53,636 --> 00:00:55,054
and then he will go.
20
00:00:55,054 --> 00:00:57,724
- You're getting divorced.
- No, we're not.
21
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,642
Billie says you're good at this.
22
00:00:59,642 --> 00:01:02,062
And I'm good at this.
We can get her there.
23
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:05,982
You're perfectly safe. This is very mild.
You'll be yourself in no time.

I think we're done. We're good.

Portraits with Mr. Wyler.
32
00:02:02,872 --> 00:02:05,917
Just a couple with you and Hal.
Little more formal.
33
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:06,960
We said candids.
34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,629
- Yes.
- Which I have done. For over an hour.
35
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:11,005
Just a couple more.
36
00:02:12,882 --> 00:02:13,842
Quickly.
37
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:16,761
- He's nowhere.
- I'm so sorry.
38
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:19,055
Look harder.
39
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:23,643
Oh, uh, ma'am. Ma'am.
40
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,728
[Kate] I'm taking this dress off
for five minutes.
41
00:02:25,728 --> 00:02:29,149
- [Pippa] I really wish you wouldn't.
- [Kate] Well, I'm going to.
42
00:02:33,903 --> 00:02:34,904
[door closes]
43
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:38,032
Free his hands.
44
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:49,169
[in Farsi] He's here.

00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:54,632

46
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:00,597
[Stuart] Ma'am?
47
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:02,807
You should come with me.
48
00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:10,773
[Kate] Did you call the RSO?
49
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,403
Is that what they call it here,
the head of security?
50
00:03:15,403 --> 00:03:16,529
Yes.
51
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:21,826
I realize it looks like he's slinking off
with a hot young thing,
52
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:24,287
but Hal doesn't cheat. Something is wrong.
53
00:03:25,413 --> 00:03:28,416
I realize that is what women say
who have husbands who cheat.
54
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,209
Mine for some reason does not.
55
00:03:30,209 --> 00:03:32,712
I've often wished he did.
It might have made things easier.
56
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,505
You don't have to believe me,
57
00:03:34,505 --> 00:03:37,550
but if I were in your shoes,
I would find the RSO.
58
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:47,018
Seal the grounds, please.

00:03:52,857 --> 00:03:55,318
[indistinct radio chatter]
60
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:02,283
- Miss Bassett.
- We need to check if the guard--
61
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:05,703
- Yes, all right.
- We were fine...
62
00:04:05,703 --> 00:04:07,622
This isn't Charm School, right?
63
00:04:07,622 --> 00:04:09,540
- What?
- You would tell me.
64
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:11,834
You think this is a training exercise?
65
00:04:11,834 --> 00:04:15,296
The ambassador and her husband didn't have
time to do the safety course at State.
66
00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:17,257
Maybe Chet asked you
to throw something together.
67
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:20,176
One, the fact that State
does kidnapping drills is bullshit.
68
00:04:20,176 --> 00:04:23,263
They don't have the sac to hold people
long enough to simulate a real event.
69
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:26,766
- And two--
- But you would tell me if it was a drill.
70
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:29,185
I mean, I wouldn't.
71
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:30,520
But this isn't one.
72
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:35,900
We've got CCTV from outside the gate
that tracks the car down here to Culworth,
73
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:38,069
but then they pull over
and ditch the license plate.
74
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:39,988
We lose them at the next light.
75
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:43,283
There's a parking facility at the end of
that block. Probably switched out the car.
76
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,744
- Do we have cameras in that garage?
- We're getting surveillance footage.
77
00:04:46,744 --> 00:04:49,163
- So these are professionals.
- Yeah.
78
00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:52,542
The woman was cleared
as part of the stylist's crew,
79
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,877
but the company doesn't have
a record of her.
80
00:04:54,877 --> 00:04:56,713
Driver doesn't show up anywhere at all.
81
00:04:56,713 --> 00:04:59,882
- We're gonna bring in MI5--
- I don't want to bring in MI5 just yet.
82
00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:04,304
- That'll just generate more hysteria.
- Ma'am, you said you had some names?
83
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,014
Mr. Wyler's been taken before.
84
00:05:06,014 --> 00:05:08,224
Yeah. Hezbollah held him for a week.
85
00:05:08,224 --> 00:05:11,102
State has the name. I only know
the aliases, and they're out of date.
86
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:13,271
There's an ISIL commander
who really does not like him.
87
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:15,940
Let me write down the name.
Spelling is tricky.
88
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:18,151
He's abducted Mr. Wyler before?
89
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:20,111
Yeah, but Hal escaped.
90
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:23,114
Made the guy feel like an idiot,
so he won't let it drop.
91
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:30,830
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs,
92
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,123
Mr. Rasoul Shahin.
93
00:05:32,123 --> 00:05:33,166
In Tehran.
94
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:40,923
- Hi there.
- Hal, can you hear me?
95
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:44,302
Yeah, was the hypodermic
absolutely necessary?
96
00:05:44,302 --> 00:05:46,387
- What?
- They drugged me.
97
00:05:47,096 --> 00:05:48,306
With a needle.
98
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,559
- Please put my colleague back on.
- Sure.
99
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:54,645
[in Farsi] Yes?
100
00:05:54,645 --> 00:05:56,314
You drugged him?
101
00:05:56,314 --> 00:05:58,316
For operational security.
102
00:05:58,316 --> 00:06:00,860
It was supposed to be a casual approach.
103
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:04,781
In a heavily guarded environment,
with no time to prepare.
104
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:06,783
This is extremely unprofessional.
105
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:08,993
My thoughts precisely.
106
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:11,162
Put him back on.
107
00:06:14,123 --> 00:06:16,334
[in English] Hi. How's your day going?
108
00:06:17,877 --> 00:06:19,754
You have my deepest apologies.
109
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:23,007
These are operatives not of my choosing.
110
00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:24,383
I'm getting that.
111
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,553
I have Naziri's support in this,
112
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:31,599
but Farhad Mashkour
and his band of doorstops
113
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:33,434
remain impervious to reason.
114
00:06:33,434 --> 00:06:34,477
Rasoul.
115
00:06:34,477 --> 00:06:37,563
This man is going to give you
some information.
116
00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:39,273
This is highly unusual,
117
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:42,860
and it's meant to communicate
our profound concern
118
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:45,780
that the situation may grow catastrophic.
119
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:48,699
How's your stomach?
120
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,035
Very bad.
121
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:56,541
Please assure me
you will make it clear to your people.
122
00:06:58,126 --> 00:06:59,168
Yeah, I will.
123
00:07:10,179 --> 00:07:12,140
Iran had nothing to do with the attack
124
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:14,892
on the already incapacitated
British warship.
125
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:16,644
To impress this upon you,
126
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:19,522
I have been ordered,
by Deputy Minister Shahin
127
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:20,857
to make a gesture.
128
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,192
Over my strenuous objection.
129
00:07:23,192 --> 00:07:26,112
Over the objection also
of the IRGC Intelligence.
130
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,989
It's controversial. I get that.
131
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:36,372
The man
is retired U.S. General Bradford Symes.
132
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:38,291
His home.
133
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:40,251
His office.
134
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:43,588
His daughter, studying at King's College.
135
00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:45,923
His arrival at Heathrow last evening.
136
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:47,925
His hotel,
137
00:07:47,925 --> 00:07:51,012
whereupon emerging from
at precisely 7:45 this morning
138
00:07:51,012 --> 00:07:53,764
to meet his daughter for breakfast,
he was to be assassinated.
139
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:55,475
By me.
140
00:07:57,518 --> 00:08:01,397
For his participation in the murder
of Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani.
141
00:08:02,106 --> 00:08:06,486
A retaliation wholly proportional,
and three years in meticulous planning,
142
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,654
which I cannot now execute,
143
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:10,865
because of the assumption
that Iran has engaged
144
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:12,950
in a reckless act of war at sea.
145
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,912
I'm sorry for your loss.
146
00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:21,292
Mr. Wyler, military action against Iran
will not be considered a retaliation.
147
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:24,212
It will be seen as an unprovoked attack.
148
00:08:24,795 --> 00:08:26,172
Iran will then respond,
149
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:28,841
as your country would
to an unprovoked attack,
150
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:31,344
with every tool at our disposal.
151
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:36,182
[indistinct chatter]
152
00:08:47,985 --> 00:08:50,780
Sorry, sir. Visitors are not being allowed
at this time.
153
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:55,576
- Uh, they may make an exception for me.
- I've worked at Winfield for eight years.
154
00:08:55,576 --> 00:08:57,662
I've learned
every American is exceptional.
155
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,331
- A lot of action in there today, huh?
- Indeed.
156
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,084
I'm the one they're looking for.
157
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,628
Sir, we're so relieved.
158
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,047
- Do we have a doctor?
- I don't need one.
159
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,382
Sir, what can we get you?
160
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:12,301
- Coffee, water and scotch.
- I don't love their coffee.
161
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:13,636
Sit the fuck down.
162
00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:15,137
Doctor's on her way.
163
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:18,724
- Where did they dose you?
- Uh...
164
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:22,853
- Ow!
- Jesus fucking Christ.
165
00:09:22,853 --> 00:09:24,939
Well, if you don't stab it, it's fine.
166
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:27,984
- Do they do banana bags here?
- Someone's gonna show up with a banana.
167
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:29,735
It's an IV, with vitamins.
168
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:31,445
- Good for a hangover.
- Let me check.
169
00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:33,364
- Does your head hurt?
- Hey.
170
00:09:34,699 --> 00:09:37,159
Hi.
171
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,161
I'm okay.
172
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:49,547
- Air-gapped?
- Yeah.
173
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,508
- This is the only thing they gave you?
- [Hal] Yeah.
174
00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:54,218
We picked up the general and his daughter.
175
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:56,596
We'll keep them at the embassy
until we get them on a plane.
176
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,848
- Need someone on his house when he's back.
- Yeah.
177
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,646
Howard will take down
a description of the operatives.
178
00:10:05,646 --> 00:10:07,440
We'd like to find them
before they disappear.
179
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,650
It was a pull-aside. You can't.
180
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:12,153
She won't waterboard them.
You gotta verify the story.
181
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:13,904
They're probably feeding you
a load of shit.
182
00:10:13,904 --> 00:10:16,324
- Those the shoes he wore?
- Take off your shoes.
183
00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:18,909
If they're gonna bug the residence,
the shoes are not the way.
184
00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:23,289
- If it's disinformation, it's inefficient.
- Take off your shoes. Give them to him.
185
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:25,583
We confirmed
Deputy Minister Shahin's in Tehran,
186
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,585
- so if it was him--
- It was him.
187
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:30,129
You have no idea who was
on the other end of that phone.
188
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,380
Christ, Kate.
189
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:34,091
I asked him how his stomach was,
he said it was awful.
190
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:36,093
I think we're drifting.
191
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:44,477
We got Shahin a GI surgery in Geneva
two years ago.
192
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:46,187
He was genuinely grateful,
193
00:10:46,187 --> 00:10:49,148
but ask how his stomach is,
and without fail,
194
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:51,025
he'll say it's worse than ever.
195
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:55,321
They're terrified that British sailors
are gonna start washing up on their shore.
196
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,031
They tried backchannels.
197
00:10:57,031 --> 00:11:00,034
They told the Swiss there's no way
they'd shoot at a British warship.
198
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:01,702
But no one was buying, so...
199
00:11:02,578 --> 00:11:05,414
How do we know Shahin didn't have
five guys with guns pointed at his head?
200
00:11:05,414 --> 00:11:07,958
We don't.
That's why they're gonna investigate it.
201
00:11:11,295 --> 00:11:12,171
All right.
202
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:13,798
Come on.
203
00:11:18,552 --> 00:11:21,263
If it's all right, we'd like to bring you
into the station tomorrow.
204
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,473
- Sure.
- Sorry.
205
00:11:22,473 --> 00:11:24,642
It's an awkward pivot,
from you as a guest to--
206
00:11:24,642 --> 00:11:27,686
- Person of interest. Don't apologize.
- Go.
207
00:11:28,604 --> 00:11:29,605
Yeah.
208
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,529
Nobody who was at the gate
during the breach is still here.
209
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:39,490
We got guys on the roof, every door
to the house, all over the perimeter.
210
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:40,950
Who hears about this?
211
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:42,868
Until we vet it, no one.
212
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:45,079
Not gonna whisper it up the chain?
213
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:47,623
I don't whisper unverified information.
214
00:11:47,623 --> 00:11:51,460
- Makes me look like a dumb broad.
- Ma'am, I am so sorry.
215
00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:54,088
This is my fault.
We were rushing the photoshoot.
216
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:58,008
- Security didn't have time to check--
- You should offer to resign.
217
00:11:58,008 --> 00:11:59,093
In writing.
218
00:12:02,346 --> 00:12:03,222
Of course.
219
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:07,101
Oh, Jesus, look at your face.
Not a real one.
220
00:12:07,101 --> 00:12:11,522
You write it, I refuse to accept it.
Makes you look like a stand-up guy.
221
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,401
- I would fire me.
- I would too.
222
00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:32,960
Get in bed.
223
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:39,383
[radio switching between channels]
224
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:41,802
[jazz music playing]
225
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:19,757
If Shahin was calling from Tehran,
226
00:13:19,757 --> 00:13:21,842
a lot of people were listening.
227
00:13:21,842 --> 00:13:23,177
Yep.
228
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:26,847
Which means he had buy-in
from somebody with a lot of wasta.
229
00:13:27,723 --> 00:13:30,142
The guy who picked me up was not a fan.
230
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:32,478
Shahin took a huge risk doing this.
231
00:13:33,854 --> 00:13:35,606
I told you it wasn't Iran.
232
00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:37,650
You did.
233
00:13:40,736 --> 00:13:43,405
The economy's a wreck.
They want us lifting sanctions.
234
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:46,659
Neither an attack at sea
nor an abduction of an American diplomat--
235
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:48,577
- It wasn't an abduction.
- Whatever it was.
236
00:13:48,577 --> 00:13:51,997
- It wasn't. It was a pull-aside.
- Yeah, well, with sedatives.
237
00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:54,458
- Short-acting.
- Sounds like an abduction.
238
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:56,460
But if you call it that,
all hell breaks loose.
239
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:58,546
It's the opposite of what Shahin's
trying to achieve.
240
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:00,422
Shouldn't have stabbed you in the neck.
241
00:14:00,422 --> 00:14:03,008
Shahin agrees. He was upset.
242
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:05,469
Tell him to fuck himself. I was upset.
243
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:07,972
You were worried?
244
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:11,058
Yeah. I was.
245
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:14,812
- Should've planned it myself.
- You're funny.
246
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:19,483
Did you call Shahin?
247
00:14:22,611 --> 00:14:23,571
No.
248
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:25,322
You sure?
249
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:29,743
- Yeah.
- If you did--
250
00:14:29,743 --> 00:14:31,745
- I didn't.
- If you freelance lob a call
251
00:14:31,745 --> 00:14:34,665
to a country with whom
we have no diplomatic relations...
252
00:14:34,665 --> 00:14:36,667
- I didn't.
- ...it's a federal offense.
253
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:39,336
Neither of us
would work for the government again.
254
00:14:39,336 --> 00:14:41,964
Well, the pay is shit.
It might be worth it.
255
00:14:42,756 --> 00:14:43,883
I didn't call him.
256
00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:49,930
Why not? It's what I would have done.
257
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:52,057
- No, you wouldn't.
- Maybe.
258
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:53,392
It'd be a smart move.
259
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:56,729
You think I'm that shallow,
you throw "smart" out there, I roll over?
260
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:59,690
You are absolutely that shallow.
261
00:15:01,191 --> 00:15:02,902
I didn't call Shahin.
262
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:12,912
- Stay.
- [radio turns off]
263
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,082
Get some sleep.
264
00:15:19,126 --> 00:15:21,128
Get a little sorry-you-were-abducted sex?
265
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,673
It wasn't an abduction.
266
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,125
Do we need to have a conversation?
267
00:16:02,461 --> 00:16:04,546
- About what?
- Cairo.
268
00:16:04,546 --> 00:16:05,881
Taking it up a notch.
269
00:16:05,881 --> 00:16:09,468
You said no. I think
that's the end of the conversation.
270
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:12,054
It wasn't a blanket no.
271
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:15,432
- It's just not a great time.
- Yeah. I got it.
272
00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:23,691
We're supposed to go
to Brize Norton tomorrow.
273
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:25,275
Meeting the caskets?
274
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:26,652
Looks shitty to bail,
275
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:29,863
but I don't want her out of the embassy
until we know what happened.
276
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,490
She's gonna be bubble-wrapped.
277
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,951
Double the security, twice as visible.
278
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:36,578
And she's going to a military base.
It's totally safe.
279
00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:38,038
That's what we said about Winfield.
280
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:41,291
You are not responsible
for a security breach at Winfield.
281
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,044
- Okay.
- You're not.
282
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:46,964
Security had to clear too many people
in not enough time.
283
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:48,048
It's your job to ask.
284
00:16:48,048 --> 00:16:50,759
If they can't handle it,
it's their job to say no.
285
00:17:00,936 --> 00:17:01,937
[man] Morning, sir.
286
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:06,734
[doorbell rings]
287
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:12,656
Good morning, Mr. Hayford.
288
00:17:12,656 --> 00:17:14,408
- Good morning.
- May I take your coat?
289
00:17:14,408 --> 00:17:16,452
Oh, I'm good. We're gonna head out soon.
290
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:22,332
- Thank you so much.
- Sure.
291
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:25,586
[doorbell rings]
292
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:29,465
- Good morning, Ms. Park.
- Good morning.
293
00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:31,633
Hello.
294
00:17:31,633 --> 00:17:32,968
And hello to you.
295
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:38,557
Do we know anything?
296
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,976
We know Rasoul Shahin was in Tehran.
297
00:17:40,976 --> 00:17:44,646
Sources tell us that revenge
for Soleimani is a live issue.
298
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,107
They were waiting for the right time,
299
00:17:47,107 --> 00:17:48,692
which yesterday would've been,
300
00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:50,736
had it not been on the heels
of the carrier attack.
301
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,821
- Has this gone to State?
- Not yet.
302
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:54,364
They have to vet it. Thoroughly.
303
00:17:54,364 --> 00:17:56,784
I say that, he never believes me.
304
00:17:56,784 --> 00:18:00,162
There's a guy at the embassy in Beirut
who can speak to Shahin's relationship
305
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:02,498
with the Supreme National
Security Council.
306
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,792
Verify that this is information he'd have.
307
00:18:04,792 --> 00:18:07,002
I'll call him
as soon as we get to the office.
308
00:18:07,002 --> 00:18:10,047
- You're going straight to Brize Norton.
- Shit. Okay.
309
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,008
Anything from here?
310
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:15,469
- Hmm?
- [Kate] Phone records?
311
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:19,515
Someone helped a freelance
intelligence operative onto the property,
312
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,016
with a horse sedative in her purse.
313
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:23,644
That's Regional Security's area. Or FBI.
314
00:18:23,644 --> 00:18:27,439
Sure, but you'll have an easier time
getting a call list from GCHQ.
315
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:29,900
- FBI's gonna get a run-around, right?
- Yeah.
316
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,860
So maybe help them out.
317
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:34,279
- [Hal] Good morning.
- Morning, sir.
318
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:35,697
I wanna call Danny in Beirut,
319
00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:38,033
but I won't be at the embassy
till this afternoon.
320
00:18:38,033 --> 00:18:41,245
Is that something Mr. Wyler could do?
If it's someone you both know--
321
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:44,706
This is a guy who can help confirm details
of Hal's story.
322
00:18:44,706 --> 00:18:46,166
You want Hal making the calls?
323
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:48,669
The deputy minister's story
is what we're focused on.
324
00:18:48,669 --> 00:18:51,797
You should be treating Hal
like any other source.
325
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:55,801
Ganon is gonna hate
that they approached you and not him.
326
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:59,513
If this story's gonna hold,
we have to verify it with a third party.
327
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:01,431
We should go.
328
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:03,600
[Kate sighs]
329
00:19:04,601 --> 00:19:05,978
Ganon doesn't like him.
330
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,229
At all.
331
00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:08,230
Noted.
332
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:13,819
Howard will take you to the embassy,
talk through what happened.
333
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,028
- My interrogator.
- Yes, sir.
334
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,281
You're getting your own car and driver,
but until then...
335
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:18,699
- You have me.
- [Kate] Your own car?
336
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:20,033
I was kidnapped.
337
00:19:20,033 --> 00:19:21,660
I'm a high-value target.
338
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:28,208
Excuse me.
339
00:19:29,084 --> 00:19:31,420
He goes to the embassy and back here.
340
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:33,505
- Nowhere else.
- Just nod.
341
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:34,756
Walk away.
342
00:19:38,635 --> 00:19:40,429
She likes to get involved.
343
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:42,472
- She does.
- She knows she's not CIA, right?
344
00:19:42,472 --> 00:19:43,932
- Steady.
- It all happened fast,
345
00:19:43,932 --> 00:19:45,434
maybe nobody told her.
346
00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:48,437
[cars starting]
347
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:11,585
The boat itself
is a 13-meter-long attack craft
348
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:13,795
with a rocket strapped to its back.
349
00:20:13,795 --> 00:20:15,297
Lines up with what we've seen
350
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:18,008
coming out
of the Shahid Mahallati Shipyard.
351
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:21,345
You can spot there,
a flash coming off the fast boat.
352
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:24,306
Probably a short-range anti-ship missile.
353
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:25,390
[Simms] Is this ours?
354
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:27,142
India's.
355
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:29,478
They had a satellite trolling for...
356
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:31,438
- They won't tell.
- They won't.
357
00:20:31,438 --> 00:20:33,065
But it caught the launch.
358
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:37,569
The Iranians have reverse-engineered
the Chinese 802 missile.
359
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,238
That's probably what we're looking at.
360
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:41,907
It'll have the Quds Force initials
on the side, if it's theirs.
361
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,284
Thought they wrote "Death to Israel"
on the side.
362
00:20:44,284 --> 00:20:45,202
Room for both.
363
00:20:45,202 --> 00:20:49,414
We're still hunting for fragments.
We'll keep an eye out for all the above.
364
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:51,750
If it's Iran
and they've signed their own missile,
365
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,794
why bother with a denial?
366
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:56,046
- Habit.
- Or it's not Iran.
367
00:20:56,046 --> 00:20:58,048
A counter-indication surfaced.
368
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:00,592
If it's credible,
I'd love to share the news.
369
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:03,720
Too raw to report,
but it came in through a credible source.
370
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,681
As would any disinformation ploy.
371
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:07,307
This one got my attention.
372
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:10,477
It's under-baked, but if it holds up,
I'll bring it in.
373
00:21:10,477 --> 00:21:12,521
It quacks like a duck, Ms. Park.
374
00:21:12,521 --> 00:21:14,856
We must consider the possibility
it might be one.
375
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:16,066
Is the duck Iran?
376
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:19,236
The United States
commandeered an Iranian oil vessel,
377
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:22,239
and they'd rather retaliate against us
than the Americans.
378
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:25,033
- The duck is Iran.
- Thank you, gentlemen.
379
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:26,827
Moving on.
380
00:21:33,875 --> 00:21:36,753
[Hal] Shahin and I
worked on the Iran Deal together.
381
00:21:36,753 --> 00:21:38,255
He was your counterpart?
382
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:41,550
Lot of time spent hanging out while
our principals talked past each other,
383
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,886
in rooms we felt
would've benefited from our presence.
384
00:21:44,886 --> 00:21:47,806
- It's bonding.
- Has he done this before?
385
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:49,349
Nothing like this, no.
386
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:51,768
Tried to get a hotline going,
once upon a time,
387
00:21:51,768 --> 00:21:54,896
like the red phone with the Soviets.
Died on the vine.
388
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:59,693
Uh, tell her the thing
about General Symes.
389
00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:02,362
I was saying
Iran doesn't assassinate people in London.
390
00:22:02,362 --> 00:22:04,239
- Karachi, maybe.
- London's unusual,
391
00:22:04,239 --> 00:22:05,991
but Symes is worth the risk.
392
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:08,452
- Is he?
- No one knows who he is.
393
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:11,246
He's not standing behind the president
when announcing a troop surge,
394
00:22:11,246 --> 00:22:13,457
but when they ask for three targets,
395
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:16,126
Brad Symes
is the one who picks the targets.
396
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,963
Tehran wants us to know
they're reading our e-mail.
397
00:22:19,963 --> 00:22:21,548
Mr. Wyler was also saying
398
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:24,926
Quds Force likes using meteorological
metaphors when talking about an op.
399
00:22:24,926 --> 00:22:26,845
They're convinced it's vague,
400
00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:29,723
but they live in a place
where weather doesn't change a lot,
401
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,141
so it jumps out.
402
00:22:35,353 --> 00:22:37,355
Hey, call NSA, see if they caught anything
403
00:22:37,355 --> 00:22:40,442
in Quds Force comms
about the weather last few days.
404
00:22:40,442 --> 00:22:42,736
Inconsistent with the actual weather.
405
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,341
Do you want to use the facilities?
406
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:07,719
Did Ambassador Vayle
need to be reminded to pee?
407
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,888
- Absolutely.
- So good of you to come.
408
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:11,681
Good to see you.
409
00:23:11,681 --> 00:23:15,018
- Ambassador Wyler.
- The foreign secretary's talking to you.
410
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:17,229
- To me?
- Can I show you where you'll be?
411
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,147
- [Stuart] Yes.
- We want you both visible.
412
00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:21,983
A personal thanks
for lobbying the president on our behalf.
413
00:23:21,983 --> 00:23:26,238
I'm not sure a one-day moratorium
on American bluster merits thanks.
414
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:27,739
It does.
415
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:30,033
- Are you speaking?
- Here? No.
416
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:32,244
- The PM is, actually.
- Oh, great.
417
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:35,205
Yeah. Wordsmith.
418
00:23:35,205 --> 00:23:36,123
Excuse me.
419
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,836
Cuts a figure, doesn't he?
420
00:23:42,003 --> 00:23:43,922
- Hmm?
- Pardon?
421
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:46,591
- Sorry, I thought you were--
- Margaret Roylin.
422
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,804
We nearly met yesterday
but you were abruptly needed elsewhere.
423
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:51,972
Oh, God.
424
00:23:51,972 --> 00:23:53,390
Meg, among friends.
425
00:23:54,808 --> 00:23:55,934
Kate Wyler.
426
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:58,145
You shouldn't, with all the cameras.
427
00:23:58,687 --> 00:24:00,772
Your deputy was not entirely wrong.
428
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:03,650
I always find clasping hands
behind the back,
429
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:07,028
along with a vague head tilt,
gets the job done.
430
00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:08,989
Polite but illegible.
431
00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:10,866
It really is.
432
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:14,035
Your husband can reach me
433
00:24:14,035 --> 00:24:16,746
if there's anything I can do
to be of help.
434
00:24:16,746 --> 00:24:19,666
It'll be Christmas before you get
anything from this government
435
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:23,336
beyond bromides so assiduously scrubbed
of meaning,
436
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:25,714
you'll think you were hearing the wind.
437
00:24:26,256 --> 00:24:28,300
I'm prepared to interpret.
438
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,510
Provide you with some background.
439
00:24:30,510 --> 00:24:33,180
- I thought you were...
- On the Naughty Step?
440
00:24:33,805 --> 00:24:35,599
They revile me in public,
441
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:37,934
but I can't seem
to get them off my telephone.
442
00:24:37,934 --> 00:24:39,644
[indistinct PA announcement]
443
00:24:39,644 --> 00:24:41,563
Very kind offer. Thank you.
444
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:42,647
You should go in.
445
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:44,566
They'll have a seat for you in the front.
446
00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:46,526
- Oh, I'd rather stand.
- You can't.
447
00:24:47,527 --> 00:24:50,113
You have a place. It means something.
448
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:52,365
And fix your blouse.
449
00:24:58,747 --> 00:24:59,581
[Stuart] Ambassador.
450
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:01,917
Yes. Coming.
451
00:25:12,260 --> 00:25:14,930
[soldier playing "The Last Post" on bugle]
452
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:57,931
[music continues]
453
00:26:28,086 --> 00:26:29,921
[music fades]
454
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:44,269
The men and women
aboard the mighty Courageous
455
00:26:45,478 --> 00:26:47,981
honored us with their service
456
00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:52,819
and defended us with their very lives.
457
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:56,323
In their honor,
458
00:26:57,490 --> 00:27:01,119
in their defense,
we shall give no quarter.
459
00:27:02,746 --> 00:27:05,081
We shall not flag nor fail
460
00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:11,713
as we hunt down
the source of this barbaric attack.
461
00:27:15,508 --> 00:27:21,598
Let no man question our fortitude
or our fury.
462
00:27:23,391 --> 00:27:27,729
Our cowardly enemies
shall not rest between air and earth,
463
00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:29,731
but we shall find them.
464
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:33,860
And justice shall be served.
465
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:51,920
[Trowbridge] I'm so sorry for your loss.
466
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,756
I'm sure you'll make
your father very proud.
467
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:59,260
[woman] He's a fucking disgrace.
468
00:28:00,053 --> 00:28:02,055
- You're a disgrace.
- [man] Madam, please.
469
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:06,476
You know who did it.
My husband was blown to bits.
470
00:28:06,476 --> 00:28:07,769
For goodness' sake.
471
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:10,397
[woman] You know exactly who it is.
472
00:28:10,397 --> 00:28:12,565
- [man 1] It's shameful.
- [man 2] That's enough.
473
00:28:12,565 --> 00:28:16,027
It's all right. Leave her be.
She has a right to be angry.
474
00:28:16,027 --> 00:28:19,364
The Americans piss off Iran.
Two days later, this happens.
475
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:22,909
- I understand, but--
- Iran murdered this child's father.
476
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,996
You don't even have the spine
to say their name.
477
00:28:26,996 --> 00:28:32,627
I can assure you that I am sickened
and enraged by this brutal crime.
478
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:34,921
And...
479
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,844
If this was Tehran, then mark my words...
480
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:44,848
I will rain hellfire upon them.
481
00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:46,975
- [crowd applauding]
- [cameras clicking]
482
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,751
- What the fuck happened?
- [Stuart] You heard?
483
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:16,129
- It's all over Twitter.
- [Trowbridge] I will rain hellfire.
484
00:29:16,129 --> 00:29:18,548
[repeating] Hellfire.
485
00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:22,010
Jesus Christ. Fucking great.
486
00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:23,511
Shit.
487
00:29:23,511 --> 00:29:26,306
- [Hal] Call State. Give them a heads up.
- About?
488
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:30,268
My thing, Shahin. This guy's throwing
gasoline all over the fire.
489
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,520
- Do you have enough to report?
- To State?
490
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,315
We're getting there.
This is from Forensics.
491
00:29:35,315 --> 00:29:36,858
Preliminary.
492
00:29:37,525 --> 00:29:40,028
- If you're not done with it...
- No, I'm good.
493
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:42,489
[Trowbridge]
Hellfire. Hellfire. Hellfire...
494
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:45,825
Hellfire--
495
00:29:45,825 --> 00:29:46,951
[video stops]
496
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:52,332
How are we doing
on the local investigation?
497
00:29:52,332 --> 00:29:54,918
You were gonna have the FBI
look into possible contact
498
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:56,753
between the operatives and Winfield?
499
00:29:56,753 --> 00:29:58,755
I was speaking
to Ambassador Wyler earlier.
500
00:29:58,755 --> 00:29:59,714
Call him Hal.
501
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:03,885
He rightly pointed out that treating
a diplomatic pull-aside like a felony
502
00:30:03,885 --> 00:30:06,262
- is a bad move.
- Did he?
503
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:09,724
Ma'am, I understand you come here
with a great deal of experience
504
00:30:09,724 --> 00:30:12,769
collaborating with the CIA
in your previous posts.
505
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:15,814
But you need to let me handle
the investigation.
506
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:18,817
She's concerned
you're not sufficiently investigating me.
507
00:30:19,859 --> 00:30:21,361
You have my phone number.
508
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:24,697
Did you get the NSA
to run a check on my phone records,
509
00:30:24,697 --> 00:30:27,200
make sure I didn't call Tehran myself?
510
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:30,537
If you need to look at my text messages,
511
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:35,416
- code's 5283. It spells "Kate."
- It's not necessary.
512
00:30:35,416 --> 00:30:37,460
- Yeah, it is.
- [Eidra] Ma'am...
513
00:30:38,294 --> 00:30:39,921
I ran a check on his phone.
514
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:47,345
[Hal] I'm going back to my gracious home.
515
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:54,477
The Vogue spread's online.
516
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,065
Look how cute you are.
517
00:31:03,486 --> 00:31:05,113
Nobody's firing that gal.
518
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:13,997
[TV news anchor] Facing a distraught
mourner as he left the ceremony,
519
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:17,667
Prime Minister Trowbridge
vowed to "rain hellfire" on Iran
520
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:22,088
should the nation prove to be responsible
for the attack on the carrier.
521
00:31:22,088 --> 00:31:25,258
The PM appears to have met the moment.
522
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:28,845
It's no secret that there are those,
even among his party,
523
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:33,349
who have harbored doubts
about his fortitude, his resolve,
524
00:31:33,349 --> 00:31:35,518
about, frankly, his backbone.
525
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:37,395
As in, did he possess one?
526
00:31:37,395 --> 00:31:40,982
He's resoundingly answered that
in the bellicose affirmative.
527
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:43,985
- He was a punch line. Now he's Churchill.
- The country's finally seeing
528
00:31:43,985 --> 00:31:45,528
a bolder Trowbridge.
529
00:31:45,528 --> 00:31:47,614
But what about his party?
530
00:31:47,614 --> 00:31:50,491
In a moment,
we'll be joined by Will Johnston
531
00:31:50,491 --> 00:31:53,036
of the Hagan Institute for his thoughts--
532
00:31:57,332 --> 00:31:58,917
[cell phone buzzing]
533
00:32:02,545 --> 00:32:03,922
- Fuck.
- What?
534
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:07,383
Some asshole ran over a family
outside New Peckham Mosque screaming,
535
00:32:07,383 --> 00:32:09,719
-"Go back to Iran."
- Fuck.
536
00:32:09,719 --> 00:32:11,304
- [cell phone buzzes]
- [groans]
537
00:32:23,399 --> 00:32:24,400
Morning, ma'am.
538
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,735
- It was a car?
- A van.
539
00:32:26,569 --> 00:32:27,862
A family of four.
540
00:32:27,862 --> 00:32:29,280
- Ambassador.
- Ma'am.
541
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,450
Mom was killed.
The other three are in the hospital.
542
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:33,868
[elevator bell dings]
543
00:32:33,868 --> 00:32:35,662
- Morning, ma'am.
- [Kate] Hello.
544
00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:37,997
Howard will brief you
on the attack at the mosque.
545
00:32:37,997 --> 00:32:40,583
I need to get on the phone with Langley,
feed some of the details
546
00:32:40,583 --> 00:32:42,543
of Mr. Wyler's encounter
into the pipeline.
547
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:45,880
- Now?
- Yes, given the circumstances.
548
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,759
The circumstances may be different.
That doesn't mean we have any facts.
549
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,219
I think we have enough.
550
00:32:52,887 --> 00:32:56,140
- Where were you in 2003?
- Norway.
551
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:59,560
I was watching Colin Powell
talk about aluminum tubes at the UN.
552
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,481
And then me and 175,000 of my friends
invaded Iraq.
553
00:33:03,481 --> 00:33:06,359
I have pretty strong feelings
about undercooked intelligence.
554
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:08,277
I'm not taking it to the press.
555
00:33:08,277 --> 00:33:12,699
Once you name Hal Wyler as your source,
this gets a life of its own.
556
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:14,492
Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
557
00:33:27,422 --> 00:33:28,548
[door closes]
558
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:34,637
Ma'am...
559
00:33:36,055 --> 00:33:39,559
It can't be easy having a spouse
that attracts that much attention.
560
00:33:40,435 --> 00:33:43,187
And the idea that in a crisis,
he was tapped--
561
00:33:43,187 --> 00:33:47,692
Are you concerned I'm jealous?
Of my husband's star power?
562
00:33:55,324 --> 00:33:58,786
Intelligence is a story.
Even she will tell you that.
563
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:02,999
A story based on incomplete facts.
564
00:34:03,583 --> 00:34:07,211
Life or death decisions turn
on whether people buy the story.
565
00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:08,296
Sure.
566
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,466
Some members of the administration
567
00:34:11,466 --> 00:34:17,346
have had mixed experiences with
jaw-dropping stories that come from Hal.
568
00:34:17,346 --> 00:34:21,017
- Just because Ganon doesn't--
- It's not just Ganon.
569
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:29,317
Half of State will tell you
about Hal Wyler,
570
00:34:29,317 --> 00:34:33,362
bravely flying from Kabul
to Mazār-e Sharīf, middle of the night,
571
00:34:33,362 --> 00:34:38,910
convincing Taliban leadership to hold back
the seizure of Kabul by one more day.
572
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:45,708
The other half will tell you he did that
by commandeering a plane
573
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:50,004
that was meant to evacuate Afghans
who worked for U.S. forces.
574
00:34:51,422 --> 00:34:54,092
People we swore we'd protect.
575
00:34:55,384 --> 00:34:57,929
Three hundred and thirty-two people
576
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:02,642
who didn't get on a plane because
Hal Wyler went to do something brave.
577
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:10,817
A lot hinges on whether we believe this
is Iran or we believe it's someone else.
578
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:14,695
When it's Hal,
you have to be really fucking sure.
579
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:21,244
- [knocking on door]
- Yeah?
580
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:24,288
Sorry. Excuse me.
581
00:35:25,706 --> 00:35:26,999
[whispering]
582
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:34,882
Um...
583
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:40,972
How's it going there, pal?
584
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:44,183
The president's coming.
585
00:35:46,352 --> 00:35:47,854
Of the United States?
586
00:35:48,437 --> 00:35:52,608
- Ma'am. Ambassador Wyler.
- I'm taking a walk.
587
00:35:52,608 --> 00:35:55,736
- The ambassador would like to take a walk.
- I don't need a chaperone.
588
00:35:55,736 --> 00:35:58,823
Uh, Byron is suggesting this afternoon.
589
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:01,242
Tell Byron to fuck himself in the face.
590
00:36:03,077 --> 00:36:05,079
Byron, I think she'd rather go now.
591
00:36:08,374 --> 00:36:09,625
[Stuart] President Rayburn,
592
00:36:09,625 --> 00:36:12,712
on his way to his formally scheduled
two-day Berlin trip,
593
00:36:12,712 --> 00:36:13,838
will, and I quote,
594
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:17,341
"stop by" for a visit
with Prime Minister Trowbridge
595
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:21,929
to express his solidarity in the wake
of the attack on the HMS Courageous.
596
00:36:22,430 --> 00:36:27,059
The president will spend 90 minutes
on the ground, 70 at Winfield.
597
00:36:28,227 --> 00:36:32,356
Most of his 800-person entourage
will remain on the planes at Heathrow,
598
00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:35,943
while Marine One brings the president
and a handful of lucky winners
599
00:36:35,943 --> 00:36:38,571
to Winfield for lunch with the PM.
600
00:36:38,571 --> 00:36:44,368
So, Don, Christine, Joanne, Paul,
we're talking to Heathrow in half an hour.
601
00:36:45,244 --> 00:36:47,038
Ronnie, Bruce, Jen, and Mike,
602
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:50,499
you'll liaise with the prime minister's
office about security en route.
603
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:52,126
And Gary, where's Gary?
604
00:36:52,126 --> 00:36:53,836
Gary. Is Gary here? Ah.
605
00:36:54,545 --> 00:36:56,756
This is gonna be the longest
70 minutes of your life.
606
00:36:57,465 --> 00:36:59,300
- I need to pee.
- Heading back.
607
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:00,468
Badly.
608
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,346
Ma'am, give me a moment.
609
00:37:16,525 --> 00:37:19,195
Sorry. Hello. Thank you.
610
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:24,408
- Just through to the left, ma'am.
- Hello.
611
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:38,464
[keypad clacking]
612
00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:40,216
[line ringing]
613
00:37:42,093 --> 00:37:43,177
- [Carole] Hey.
- Carole.
614
00:37:43,177 --> 00:37:47,306
Rodney says that you're in London.
Is that some kind of a joke?
615
00:37:48,015 --> 00:37:50,851
It is not a fucking joke. London, England.
616
00:37:58,401 --> 00:37:59,610
Should we check on her?
617
00:38:09,745 --> 00:38:12,623
Can you get into GCHQ from there,
or do you have to go through NSA?
618
00:38:12,623 --> 00:38:14,333
- [Carole] Oh, give me a second.
- [knocking]
619
00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:16,544
- [Byron] Ma'am?
- I'm not done.
620
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:18,921
[clattering]
621
00:38:18,921 --> 00:38:22,508
- Everything all right?
- I could use some privacy. Thank you.
622
00:38:28,431 --> 00:38:31,517
- I'm gonna kill myself.
- They don't let you crap on your own?
623
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:34,812
I'm in a deli. I had to get out
of the embassy cell tower range.
624
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:37,481
Now they're worried
I'm having an aneurysm on the terlet.
625
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:39,900
- This is gonna be a long tour for you.
- Yeah.
626
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:42,611
We're in the phase
where everyone wants a selfie with Hal.
627
00:38:42,611 --> 00:38:44,196
It'll be easier when he's gone.
628
00:38:44,196 --> 00:38:46,574
Been hearing that one for a long time.
629
00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:48,326
This time it's true.
630
00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:50,870
Kabul tipped the scales.
631
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:53,080
- For real?
- Yeah.
632
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,042
Oh, honey. Well. Good for you.
633
00:38:56,042 --> 00:38:58,419
Good for me. You find anything?
634
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:02,006
- You know what helps? When you rush me.
- I'm sorry. You're pretty.
635
00:39:02,006 --> 00:39:03,883
- You're the prettiest.
- Better.
636
00:39:03,883 --> 00:39:06,969
Okay, there was a call
from the zone in question,
637
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:10,097
uh, the day of the approach.
638
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:11,682
On a burner.
639
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:13,851
A call to the belligerent nation?
640
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:15,603
No. A call to Rome.
641
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:17,521
Fuck.
642
00:39:20,983 --> 00:39:21,984
Mr. Hayford.
643
00:39:23,319 --> 00:39:24,904
- Hi.
- [Stuart] Are you okay?
644
00:39:24,904 --> 00:39:26,697
Thanks. I went for a walk.
645
00:39:26,697 --> 00:39:28,616
They're asking
if they should call an ambulance.
646
00:39:28,616 --> 00:39:31,994
- No. Why are you calling an ambulance?
- It was 35 minutes.
647
00:39:31,994 --> 00:39:36,457
-Is it maybe something you ate?
- I need to see my husband right away.
648
00:39:36,457 --> 00:39:38,667
If you could have somebody
go to the residence.
649
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:39,919
He's here at the embassy,
650
00:39:39,919 --> 00:39:43,506
helping the folks down the hall
get in touch with a contact in Uzbekistan.
651
00:39:44,006 --> 00:39:45,257
Of course he is.
652
00:39:55,309 --> 00:39:56,310
[door closes]
653
00:40:05,444 --> 00:40:09,782
I'm not doing anything other than
trying to be helpful at the margins.
654
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:11,409
Okay. Hey.
655
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:13,035
What are you--?
656
00:40:18,124 --> 00:40:19,708
You called Niccolo.
657
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:24,922
Do us both a stupendous favor
and don't waste time denying it.
658
00:40:26,924 --> 00:40:28,008
Yes.
659
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:30,386
And he called Shahin.
660
00:40:31,053 --> 00:40:34,515
- To let him know we're here.
- I asked you 12 times.
661
00:40:34,515 --> 00:40:37,017
If I called Shahin, which I didn't.
Niccolo did.
662
00:40:37,017 --> 00:40:40,312
Italy has diplomatic relations with Iran.
No one will raise an eyebrow.
663
00:40:40,312 --> 00:40:42,565
It took me exactly one phone call.
664
00:40:42,565 --> 00:40:45,693
Only you know a call to an Italian
landscape architect from a burner
665
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,570
in Regent's Park is a red flag.
666
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:51,031
I didn't tell you because if it gets out,
I wanted you insulated.
667
00:40:51,031 --> 00:40:53,159
Meanwhile, it fucking paid off.
668
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:56,829
You don't want the White House near it.
Now the president's on his way.
669
00:40:56,829 --> 00:40:58,080
I knew something was off.
670
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,709
And I knew when a hot tip comes from you,
it cuts more than one way.
671
00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:04,128
No one knows how until they know,
but then--
672
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:05,421
"They definitely know."
673
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:07,923
Don't fucking act like it doesn't matter.
674
00:41:07,923 --> 00:41:10,009
Shahin put his neck on a rail.
675
00:41:10,009 --> 00:41:12,511
- We blow this, he'll get executed.
- Yeah.
676
00:41:12,511 --> 00:41:15,306
So. Now you know. I called Niccolo.
677
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:18,017
He called Shahin,
or sent him a smoke signal, I don't know.
678
00:41:18,017 --> 00:41:19,018
That's the whole story.
679
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:20,186
- Is it?
- Yeah.
680
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:26,317
So... onward.
681
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:29,361
- Oh, that's it?
- [Hal] Uh-huh.
682
00:41:29,361 --> 00:41:33,157
I just march out and say,
"Hey, I rethought it. Let's go wide."
683
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:34,867
- Yeah.
- Based on what?
684
00:41:34,867 --> 00:41:39,288
My husband snuck out and called Iran?
And then lied to me about it?
685
00:41:39,288 --> 00:41:42,541
- How do you think that fucking looks?
- Who cares?
686
00:41:42,541 --> 00:41:43,501
[shouts]
687
00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:47,338
I care! I am supposed to run this place.
688
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:51,383
I was almost fired
by the secretary of state on day one.
689
00:41:51,383 --> 00:41:52,968
Hat tip, Hal Wyler.
690
00:41:52,968 --> 00:41:57,139
And day two, I'm a Vogue model
at the mercy of tidal hormones.
691
00:41:57,723 --> 00:42:01,644
Smart people listen to other smart people,
and change their minds.
692
00:42:01,644 --> 00:42:07,274
I told the chief of station
she was like Colin Powell selling WMD.
693
00:42:07,274 --> 00:42:10,986
My DCM thinks I'm so upset
you've eclipsed me,
694
00:42:10,986 --> 00:42:12,613
I actually shit my pants.
695
00:42:12,613 --> 00:42:14,823
Thanks to your intervention,
696
00:42:14,823 --> 00:42:18,494
I appear, to the two most important
colleagues I have in this mission...
697
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,829
[yelling] like a fucking psychotic!
698
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:33,175
[in normal voice] I'd like to speak
to the secretary of state, please.
699
00:42:37,638 --> 00:42:38,722
[Ganon] Ambassador.
700
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:43,060
Iranian denials haven't convinced since...
I'm trying to remember a time.
701
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:47,106
Calling off an assassination
is a not-insignificant gesture.
702
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:48,440
I find it very moving.
703
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,069
The source was compelling.
On both ends of the reach out.
704
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:55,072
- CIA is still vetting it.
- That's my fault.
705
00:42:55,072 --> 00:42:57,074
It's why I contacted you myself.
706
00:42:57,074 --> 00:43:00,744
I'm hoping you can put
some stock in my word.
707
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:04,373
My wife says that Vogue
named you the future of diplomacy.
708
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:05,791
So I'd better listen.
709
00:43:07,918 --> 00:43:11,130
Sir. It was Hal.
710
00:43:12,673 --> 00:43:13,882
Wyler.
711
00:43:15,217 --> 00:43:16,385
Jesus.
712
00:43:16,385 --> 00:43:19,471
Knowing it might be greeted
with some skepticism,
713
00:43:19,471 --> 00:43:22,600
I asked them to dot all their I's
before they brought it to you.
714
00:43:23,267 --> 00:43:24,560
Shit.
715
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,148
- Tell the president he shouldn't come.
-Are you kidding?
716
00:43:29,148 --> 00:43:32,067
The optics of him and Trowbridge
shoulder to shoulder
717
00:43:32,067 --> 00:43:33,569
after the hellfire rant--
718
00:43:33,569 --> 00:43:37,281
The optics are that it looks like
the president is ready to march on Tehran.
719
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:41,869
If your husband's right, 24 hours later,
we'll have to roll that all back.
720
00:43:41,869 --> 00:43:44,121
The optics of that are
he looks like an idiot.
721
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:45,831
Around here, we call that Tuesday.
722
00:43:45,831 --> 00:43:49,168
- Muslims are being attacked in the street.
- Is that on me too?
723
00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:52,463
The president wanted to look like a hero,
throw his arm around the Brits,
724
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:54,423
show everyone we're the ally we used to be
725
00:43:54,423 --> 00:43:56,925
before we lost interest
in the whole fucking world.
726
00:43:56,925 --> 00:44:00,304
That's my job, if it's anyone's.
But he wanted it, so he's got it.
727
00:44:01,096 --> 00:44:04,892
Sir. I'm not sure "he made his bed,
now let's let him lie in it"
728
00:44:04,892 --> 00:44:07,061
is the best thing for global stability.
729
00:44:07,061 --> 00:44:10,022
Canceling the trip,
that's good for global stability?
730
00:44:10,856 --> 00:44:12,107
It's not ideal.
731
00:44:14,151 --> 00:44:17,488
If you'd come to me
before we announced the visit, maybe.
732
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:19,782
Now, it's too late.
733
00:44:27,790 --> 00:44:30,000
They're for you. What did Ganon say?
734
00:44:31,001 --> 00:44:33,003
I need to talk to the foreign secretary.
735
00:44:33,837 --> 00:44:35,005
Ganon said that?
736
00:44:35,714 --> 00:44:37,591
No. I'm saying that.
737
00:44:38,634 --> 00:44:40,678
You'll see the foreign secretary tomorrow.
738
00:44:40,678 --> 00:44:44,515
At the lunch, to which the president
is wearing a charcoal suit.
739
00:44:44,515 --> 00:44:46,308
So you can't wear charcoal.
740
00:44:46,809 --> 00:44:48,435
- Any of these grab you?
- No.
741
00:44:48,936 --> 00:44:52,022
Ma'am, I don't love me
in this conversation either,
742
00:44:52,022 --> 00:44:54,066
but the stylist
is now a person of interest
743
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,193
in the biggest security breach
we've had at Winfield.
744
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:58,946
- We'll have to muscle through on our own.
- Alysse?
745
00:44:59,446 --> 00:45:01,198
After the Foreign Office.
746
00:45:01,907 --> 00:45:03,117
Car. Cars.
747
00:45:03,117 --> 00:45:05,452
You can't drop in
on the foreign secretary.
748
00:45:05,452 --> 00:45:08,831
You've spent more time with the guy
than your predecessors did in a year.
749
00:45:08,831 --> 00:45:10,374
It's been a big day.
750
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,126
You've got to stop.
751
00:45:23,470 --> 00:45:24,638
[phone rings]
752
00:45:24,638 --> 00:45:27,433
[receptionist] Foreign secretary's office.
How may I help you?
753
00:45:31,103 --> 00:45:32,688
Tongues will start to wag.
754
00:45:32,688 --> 00:45:35,732
- Sorry to barge in. I know you're swamped.
- Not at all.
755
00:45:35,732 --> 00:45:38,777
I wanted to touch base
about President Rayburn's visit.
756
00:45:38,777 --> 00:45:40,487
A moving show of support.
757
00:45:40,487 --> 00:45:44,366
The atmosphere around the meeting
might be improved from our standpoint,
758
00:45:44,366 --> 00:45:47,911
with a clarification of
the prime minister's remark about Iran.
759
00:45:47,911 --> 00:45:51,123
As I understand it,
the prime minister was repeating
760
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:53,500
what he'd heard from President Rayburn.
What was the phrase?
761
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:56,670
- That was one head of state to another.
-"Light the place up."
762
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:57,880
On a private call.
763
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,632
This was dropped
into a sea of microphones.
764
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:03,844
Sympathy for a grieving widow,
sadly misconstrued.
765
00:46:03,844 --> 00:46:05,179
We are way past sad.
766
00:46:05,179 --> 00:46:07,973
Four people were mowed down
in the street, two are children,
767
00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:10,350
- their mother is dead.
- As is their father.
768
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:14,104
About half an hour ago.
769
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:17,316
I'm sorry.
770
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:23,864
Look, no one is more disturbed
about violence in our streets
771
00:46:23,864 --> 00:46:26,200
- than Prime Minister Trowbridge.
- Of course.
772
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,161
But an unprovoked attack on our troops
773
00:46:29,161 --> 00:46:31,663
from a nation
with a history of aggressive--
774
00:46:31,663 --> 00:46:32,831
It's not Iran.
775
00:46:36,793 --> 00:46:37,711
It's not Iran.
776
00:46:39,213 --> 00:46:40,964
Well, then, our mistake.
777
00:46:42,883 --> 00:46:45,010
You're going to ask me how I know...
778
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:48,263
You won't say, but fortunately,
I have your word.
779
00:46:54,895 --> 00:46:57,856
They kidnapped my husband
and called off a hit.
780
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,529
They were going to assassinate
an American general and didn't.
781
00:47:04,196 --> 00:47:08,242
It was an offering,
like a dead squirrel on the doorstep.
782
00:47:08,242 --> 00:47:09,660
It wasn't Iran.
783
00:47:11,662 --> 00:47:14,915
The president of the United States
can't stand next to a prime minister
784
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:19,169
who has just hocked up
an Islamophobic war whoop.
785
00:47:20,170 --> 00:47:21,755
He has to walk it back.
786
00:47:25,592 --> 00:47:28,345
Ambassador,
Number 10 will walk back nothing.
787
00:47:29,471 --> 00:47:30,389
Nothing.
788
00:47:32,224 --> 00:47:35,602
If you're concerned, I urge you
to speak with President Rayburn,
789
00:47:35,602 --> 00:47:38,730
who clearly has a great deal of influence
over the prime minister.
790
00:47:41,984 --> 00:47:43,443
Thank you for coming.
791
00:47:52,327 --> 00:47:55,205
[staff clamoring]
792
00:48:07,259 --> 00:48:09,469
Right after lunch. I have the time...
793
00:48:13,849 --> 00:48:17,060
[Frances] Oh, to the dining room.
The mantel, not the table.
794
00:48:17,060 --> 00:48:20,564
I always gave Mrs. Vayle a copy
of the menu on the day of a formal meal.
795
00:48:20,564 --> 00:48:24,401
She liked to put them in her memory book.
Should I give one to Mr. Wyler?
796
00:48:24,901 --> 00:48:28,405
Mr. Wyler does not keep a memory book.
797
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:31,908
[Hal] You can salvage this.
798
00:48:31,908 --> 00:48:34,578
Buttonhole the president
as soon as he arrives
799
00:48:34,578 --> 00:48:37,289
and you talk him out of the lunch.
800
00:48:38,123 --> 00:48:41,918
At the very least out of the photo op
with him and Trowbridge side by side
801
00:48:41,918 --> 00:48:44,921
like some dark acid flashback
of the road to Iraq.
802
00:48:44,921 --> 00:48:46,506
You need to leave.
803
00:48:46,506 --> 00:48:49,426
- Eat something. You've been bottoming out.
- Leave this country.
804
00:48:49,426 --> 00:48:52,721
As soon as this lunch is over,
get on some plane going someplace
805
00:48:52,721 --> 00:48:54,931
- and not be here anymore.
- What?
806
00:48:54,931 --> 00:48:57,809
You made an inappropriate outreach
to a hostile power
807
00:48:57,809 --> 00:49:00,437
with whom we have no diplomatic relations.
808
00:49:00,437 --> 00:49:03,482
You made an investigation
exponentially more difficult.
809
00:49:04,149 --> 00:49:08,570
You have so thoroughly fucked
with my head, I-- I can't think straight
810
00:49:08,570 --> 00:49:12,616
or analyze information
or provide objective counsel.
811
00:49:13,283 --> 00:49:17,704
I can't do the fucking job
if you are within a 100-mile radius.
812
00:49:18,288 --> 00:49:20,791
I am begging you. Go.
813
00:49:23,877 --> 00:49:24,753
Katherine.
814
00:49:25,712 --> 00:49:26,880
Katie.
815
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,424
Oh, come on. Let's talk about it later.
816
00:49:29,424 --> 00:49:31,802
I'm not discussing it ever again.
817
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:34,680
The president will greet Hal first,
then you.
818
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,058
Unless he does it the other way around.
Just basically go with whatever.
819
00:49:38,058 --> 00:49:39,226
Thank you.
820
00:49:39,226 --> 00:49:43,522
Katie, I can't leave. I'm so sorry.
821
00:49:43,522 --> 00:49:45,649
[Kate]
I don't want to hear this shit anymore!
822
00:49:45,649 --> 00:49:48,944
- You can't divorce me.
- Get a fucking grip!
823
00:49:48,944 --> 00:49:50,821
We decided that months ago.
824
00:49:51,363 --> 00:49:53,407
Katie, the vice president's gonna resign.
825
00:49:53,407 --> 00:49:56,076
They want you to replace her.
You can't be divorced.
826
00:50:10,841 --> 00:50:11,842
Close your mouth.
827
00:50:13,301 --> 00:50:14,469
Turn your head.
828
00:50:21,351 --> 00:50:23,353
[theme music playing]
