1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:09,509
I've just learned that President Rayburn,
2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:12,971
who had pledged his support
in a rather complex mission
3
00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:14,681
rescuing our men and women at sea,
4
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,349
saw fit to revoke that promise.
5
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:19,310
We are talking
to every intelligence service on the map.
6
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:21,688
We're not talking to Iranian intelligence.
7
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:24,399
You need to officially summon
the Iranian ambassador.
8
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:26,317
- They have intel for us.
- Us?
9
00:00:26,317 --> 00:00:30,071
When you asked for help,
you did realize that I would then help?
10
00:00:30,071 --> 00:00:32,741
- Ambassador Hajjar, this is--
- I know who it is.
11
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:36,286
- Nobody knows the ambassador's here.
- I was instructed to give you a name.
12
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:39,706
An individual who appears
to have directed the attack.
13
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,291
[Kate] Ambassador, are you okay?
14
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:43,209
Call his guy.
15
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:44,377
You can't be here.
16
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:46,755
It's the fucking Russians.
17
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:49,340
The United Kingdom got attacked by Russia.
18
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,426
- Why is that funny?
- Pour me another.
19
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:54,888
- Oh. I'm a bloody idiot.
- No, it's fine.
20
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:14,157
[cutlery clinking]
21
00:01:25,794 --> 00:01:28,713
If we go to war with Russia,
we should get a dog.
22
00:01:29,422 --> 00:01:30,924
[Eidra] For protection?
23
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,050
No.
24
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,719
U.S. and the UK go to war with Russia?
25
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,764
That's the kind of thing
where people have babies.
26
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:41,226
'Cause it's apocalyptic.
27
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,852
Babies are life-affirming.
28
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:48,107
- Are you asking me to have a--?
- No.
29
00:01:48,107 --> 00:01:49,526
No.
30
00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,277
That's the whole point.
31
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:53,488
We're a new thing.
We are not having a baby.
32
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,573
But a dog?
33
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:59,494
Are you asking me to move in with you?
34
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:00,411
No.
35
00:02:00,411 --> 00:02:03,581
The dog can live half-time here,
half-time my place.
36
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,129
I'm getting a fish.
37
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:11,256
{\an8}[cell phone buzzing]
38
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,676
{\an8}The president wants to come to Chevening.
39
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,219
{\an8}- What?
- It was Russia.
40
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:18,304
{\an8}They don't wanna
leave the planning to Ganon.
41
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,931
No, no, no.
42
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:22,517
The White House sees this
as an indirect hit on the U.S.
43
00:02:22,517 --> 00:02:25,562
If Rayburn comes, Trowbridge comes.
44
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:28,940
{\an8}The whole point is
that we hash out the Russia policy,
45
00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:30,441
secretary to secretary,
46
00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:32,944
and then we send it up the ladder,
fully baked.
47
00:02:33,945 --> 00:02:34,779
Hi, Lindsay.
48
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:36,531
Can you put Karen on?
49
00:02:36,531 --> 00:02:37,448
Thanks.
50
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:40,618
You're gonna be a nervous parent.
Even to a fish.
51
00:02:40,618 --> 00:02:41,744
Karen, hi.
52
00:02:41,744 --> 00:02:45,707
Listen, the president should not be
getting on a plane right now.
53
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:48,293
We have Ganon and the foreign secretary,
54
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:51,796
that's enough Level 1 targets
in one place at one time.
55
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:53,131
It's not safe, right?
56
00:02:53,131 --> 00:02:54,424
We can make it safe.
57
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:56,801
Will you fucking help me out?
58
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,638
Guess who just popped in the office.
Hold on.
59
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:03,641
Karen?
60
00:03:03,641 --> 00:03:05,310
Hi, it's Eidra Park.
61
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:08,813
I know, I never see you anymore.
How are you?
62
00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:09,814
Seriously?
63
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:13,985
Kar, this stays in the vault,
64
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:17,572
but you know the Iranian ambassador
who died here yesterday?
65
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:19,741
Tox screen isn't back yet.
66
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:22,535
Which means we can't rule out poisoning.
67
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:25,538
No, the foreign secretary
didn't poison him,
68
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:28,374
but the Russians could have
before he even got to the office.
69
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:29,584
Wait, really?
70
00:03:30,668 --> 00:03:33,630
I'm just saying
that until we know what's going on,
71
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:36,758
I think I'd feel better
if the president was in D.C.
72
00:03:39,677 --> 00:03:40,929
Yes.
73
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:47,477
Hmm.
74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,110
Did you tell them to do this?
75
00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:57,779
What?
76
00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,531
- They packed me.
- Yeah, of course they did.
77
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,033
They--
78
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:04,702
They packed me tampons.
79
00:04:04,702 --> 00:04:05,912
They think ahead.
80
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:10,333
Eight supers, four lights, and Advil.
81
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:14,003
They know where I am
on my fucking moon cycle.
82
00:04:19,842 --> 00:04:22,553
Russia doesn't wanna go to war with us
and the Brits, right?
83
00:04:24,138 --> 00:04:25,974
I have no idea what they want.
84
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:28,810
They framed Iran.
85
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,728
Did they want us to go to war with Iran?
86
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:33,189
They're tricky.
87
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:38,778
I don't love people touching my stuff,
88
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,530
but they do a very nice job.
89
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:42,532
And so it begins.
90
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:43,449
What?
91
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:45,410
You're gonna get used to this.
92
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:46,828
No, I am not.
93
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:48,162
Well...
94
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:51,666
They should pack you while we're gone.
Then you'll just be ready to go.
95
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:54,043
Look at that. You think ahead too.
96
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:58,006
What?
97
00:04:58,006 --> 00:04:59,007
Nothing.
98
00:05:03,344 --> 00:05:06,180
Is there a talk we're supposed to have?
99
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:09,017
No.
100
00:05:09,017 --> 00:05:10,685
- Shit.
- No.
101
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:17,734
Thank you for fucking me.
102
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,819
No, I don't think it changes
103
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:22,780
the fundamental non-viability
of our marriage.
104
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:25,616
At no point did I think it did, okay?
105
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:26,576
It was selfish.
106
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:29,662
Well, if that's what selfish looks like...
107
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:32,999
- You don't have to come to this thing.
- Get over yourself.
108
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:33,916
We're done.
109
00:05:33,916 --> 00:05:37,420
I'm arm candy
for the first tranche of photo ops,
110
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:39,172
then I drift off as planned.
111
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:42,800
Doesn't mean you can't come back
to the trough every now and then.
112
00:05:44,802 --> 00:05:45,636
I just...
113
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:48,890
I don't want things to be unclear.
114
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,308
Katherine...
115
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:54,270
only you can ruin
a perfectly good, wordless roll
116
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:56,272
in the ashes of a dead union.
117
00:05:57,982 --> 00:05:59,067
Okay.
118
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:00,193
Good.
119
00:06:13,998 --> 00:06:16,000
[sheep bleating]
120
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:22,298
[Stuart] It's the foreign secretary's
fucking country bunker.
121
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:24,550
We don't need
another sweep of the property,
122
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:27,011
we need to get
the ambassador there on time.
123
00:06:27,011 --> 00:06:29,388
Mr. McNabb says
we can't ignore the possibility
124
00:06:29,388 --> 00:06:31,015
of a threat from inside the house.
125
00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:33,351
Is he worried about Dennison?
126
00:06:34,852 --> 00:06:37,730
You tell him if he is worried
about the foreign secretary,
127
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,857
he is way over the fucking line.
128
00:06:39,857 --> 00:06:41,859
We don't frisk our allies.
129
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:43,903
He says the foreign secretary is our ally.
130
00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:45,404
That is not what I said.
131
00:06:46,989 --> 00:06:50,201
Mr. McNabb reiterates the ambassador's
safety is his area of expertise.
132
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:51,202
I know that.
133
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:55,123
He also wishes to remind you the last time
the foreign secretary met with a diplomat,
134
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:57,500
- that diplomat wound up in a body bag.
- Just tell--
135
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,795
[Byron] Until we get the chemical tests
back, we'll proceed with every caution.
136
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:02,255
Give me the phone.
137
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:07,635
Bert, this is utter bullshit.
138
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:09,470
Bert?
139
00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:13,224
- I'm calling State.
- Outside.
140
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:28,239
Dennison was there.
141
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,783
Officially, I was too, at the very end.
142
00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:34,495
So until they find out if it was Novichok
or high blood pressure,
143
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,330
they have every right to be concerned.
144
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:37,915
Okay. I'm just...
145
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:38,833
Anxious.
146
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:40,668
Not at all.
147
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:42,962
I'm okay at this part.
148
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,547
I suck at a garden party.
149
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:46,048
But real negotiations?
150
00:07:46,048 --> 00:07:49,135
I know. I am completely
confident in your ability--
151
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:50,219
Really?
152
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:51,137
Yes.
153
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:52,555
I don't think you are.
154
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:55,558
Did you read the agenda?
155
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:56,601
Of course I did.
156
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:03,065
It's really long.
157
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:05,526
I would never give an ambassador
a briefing book
158
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:07,570
without a one-pager in the front.
159
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:09,071
It doesn't get read.
160
00:08:09,071 --> 00:08:10,948
- Short enough?
- Better.
161
00:08:11,532 --> 00:08:13,618
- This is tomorrow's agenda.
- Okay.
162
00:08:13,618 --> 00:08:16,412
- The day will consist of three parts.
- Mm-hm.
163
00:08:16,412 --> 00:08:19,582
Today you will strategize
with the British delegation
164
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,084
how to maximize those three parts
165
00:08:22,084 --> 00:08:24,670
so we can make the most
of the foreign secretary's time
166
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:26,130
with the secretary of state
167
00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:28,049
and walk out with a Russia strategy.
168
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:30,384
Why don't you just give me the card?
169
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:32,762
- Can we talk through it?
- Let me see what it says.
170
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:34,847
It's notes from me to me. It won't help.
171
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:35,848
Let me see.
172
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:36,807
Okay.
173
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,144
-"Hug, Pivot, Bear."
- Mm-hm.
174
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:43,189
You're right.
175
00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:45,650
Number one.
176
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:50,196
A public demonstration
of the strong U.S.-UK relationship.
177
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:52,615
So that Russia knows
we are still a united front,
178
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,076
same as we were
when they first invaded Ukraine.
179
00:08:55,076 --> 00:08:56,619
Is that the hug?
180
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:58,162
- It is.
- It's cute.
181
00:08:58,162 --> 00:08:59,830
- Number two--
- Hey.
182
00:09:01,082 --> 00:09:02,416
What's the holdup?
183
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:04,168
Security sweep.
184
00:09:04,835 --> 00:09:08,381
They think Dennison's gonna kill you
the way he killed the Iranian ambassador?
185
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:11,842
I think, even in jest,
that we should avoid suggesting
186
00:09:11,842 --> 00:09:15,429
that the Iranian ambassador's death
had anything to do with our closest ally.
187
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:16,931
- Or the Russians.
- Don't do that.
188
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,016
- He's already wound up.
- I'm really not.
189
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:22,186
Wouldn't be the first time the Russians
poisoned someone on British soil.
190
00:09:22,186 --> 00:09:23,646
- I'd love to keep going.
- Please do.
191
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:26,065
- Wouldn't even be the second time.
- Number two on the agenda.
192
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:27,733
- Yes.
- What's number one?
193
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:28,734
Hugging.
194
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:30,903
- A pivot away from Iran.
- Pivot.
195
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:31,821
Yes.
196
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,282
- Now that we know it was Russia--
- Ah. The poison?
197
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,325
They treating you as a suspect?
They should.
198
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:38,661
- Get back in the car.
- Gotta piss.
199
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,622
[sighs] Are they?
200
00:09:41,622 --> 00:09:43,082
Treating me like a suspect?
201
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,126
No. A witness.
202
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:48,212
Eidra may need to talk to you later today.
203
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:49,255
And Met Police.
204
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,549
- Okay. Number two. Pivot.
- Yes.
205
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:54,468
Now that we know it was Russia,
we need to pivot from Iran.
206
00:09:54,468 --> 00:09:56,012
You mean apologize.
207
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:57,013
I don't.
208
00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:59,015
State was particular about that.
209
00:09:59,015 --> 00:10:02,893
We can't say sorry to a regime
that chants "Death to America."
210
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:04,020
[Byron] Ma'am?
211
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:04,937
Clear.
212
00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:07,648
Get in the other car.
213
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:09,900
You want Hal and I
arriving in the same vehicle.
214
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,194
But I'd love to finish the agenda.
215
00:10:12,194 --> 00:10:13,571
- Three is "Bear."
- [Stuart] Yeah.
216
00:10:13,571 --> 00:10:15,031
- Which is Russia.
- [Stuart] Yes.
217
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:16,157
It was a gimme.
218
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:17,116
Hal!
219
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:19,118
[Hal] It takes as long as it takes.
220
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:56,656
Thank you.
221
00:10:57,740 --> 00:10:58,699
Welcome.
222
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:02,578
Honored to have you here.
Hoope. I cover Iran.
223
00:11:02,578 --> 00:11:03,871
Nice to meet you.
224
00:11:03,871 --> 00:11:05,706
Russia. Kemper-Waithe.
225
00:11:05,706 --> 00:11:09,168
- [Kate] Nice to meet you.
- I understand we owe you our thanks.
226
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,005
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
I thought you would've started.
227
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,799
Nonsense. You're right on time.
228
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,634
Nice bit of country you got.
229
00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:19,720
A thrill to meet you as well, sir.
How proud you must be.
230
00:11:20,888 --> 00:11:22,431
Of my wife? I am.
231
00:11:23,432 --> 00:11:24,683
Kemper-Waithe. Russia.
232
00:11:24,683 --> 00:11:26,769
Hayford. The whole world.
233
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:27,895
[all laughing]
234
00:11:29,688 --> 00:11:31,732
- Shall we?
- Yes.
235
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,530
What the fuck is going on?
236
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:39,573
I missed those dulcet tones.
237
00:11:40,324 --> 00:11:42,118
Your Iran guy keeps smiling at me.
238
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:45,704
You're the woman of the hour.
You put out the conflagration in the Gulf.
239
00:11:46,622 --> 00:11:48,040
They know what happened?
240
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,836
They have no idea what happened.
They know you had something to do with it.
241
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:55,172
You said it wasn't Iran from the get-go.
Turns out you were right.
242
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:56,757
[Kate] You don't get any credit?
243
00:11:56,757 --> 00:11:58,676
We're a formidable team.
244
00:11:59,301 --> 00:12:03,013
But the consensus is
you're the dogcatcher.
245
00:12:03,013 --> 00:12:04,306
What does that mean?
246
00:12:05,182 --> 00:12:07,893
That means you leashed the dogs of war.
247
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:10,020
I like it.
248
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:12,648
[Austin] I think it suits you.
249
00:12:12,648 --> 00:12:14,400
[Kate] I kind of think it does.
250
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,653
Welcome.
Welcome to our modest monstrosity.
251
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:20,448
The indispensable Cecilia Dennison.
252
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:23,909
Of course. Of course.
It's very nice to meet you.
253
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:25,619
Ambassador Katherine Wyler.
254
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:27,705
Was he terribly upset?
255
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,124
Was...? Excuse me?
256
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,793
Austin. Was he a prig about it?
257
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:34,295
About...?
258
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,172
Well, you were tardy.
259
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,132
He makes a fuss when I'm late.
260
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:40,092
It's double standards.
261
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:42,094
[Austin] Can we not do that?
262
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:44,096
I agree. Let's not stand here.
263
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:45,139
- Come in.
- Yes.
264
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:47,349
It's not home but it's much.
265
00:12:47,349 --> 00:12:50,144
Thank you.
I mean, it's very nice to meet you.
266
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,900
You must be the wife.
267
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,360
What gave it away?
268
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,571
Come on. I'll give you the grand tour.
269
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:02,573
- Okay.
- So sorry to interrupt.
270
00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:04,909
You're needed on the secure line.
271
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:06,619
I'll be there in a minute.
272
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:09,371
It's the prime minister.
273
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:12,249
Excuse me.
274
00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:13,334
Yeah. Mm-hm.
275
00:13:17,713 --> 00:13:19,048
- Hello.
- Hello.
276
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:25,596
Apologies.
277
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:26,722
Anu.
278
00:13:26,722 --> 00:13:29,016
[Anu]
After the secretary of state arrives,
279
00:13:29,016 --> 00:13:32,895
we'll start with a mutual acknowledgment
about the sharp words
280
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:35,689
regarding President Rayburn
from Prime Minister Trowbridge
281
00:13:35,689 --> 00:13:38,901
were simply a spirited debate
among friends.
282
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:41,820
Then we'll move onto item two, Iran--
283
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:43,239
Ambassador. Thank you.
284
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:45,741
Ah, comments with the placement of Iran
on the agenda?
285
00:13:45,741 --> 00:13:47,993
No. It's not Iran. I was just...
286
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,162
I'm fine.
287
00:13:51,288 --> 00:13:53,207
- Three.
- She's not fine.
288
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:55,751
- Three.
- [Hoope] This is exactly
289
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:57,836
what we were told by Mrs. Wells.
290
00:13:57,836 --> 00:14:00,256
A woman, slender, like yourself--
291
00:14:00,256 --> 00:14:02,258
- I think we should move on.
- [Hoope] We shouldn't.
292
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:05,135
It's structural inequity
in the plainest sense.
293
00:14:05,135 --> 00:14:07,555
Chairs designed for a man's build.
294
00:14:07,555 --> 00:14:09,723
If we want women at the table,
295
00:14:09,723 --> 00:14:13,310
it is incumbent upon us
to pull up a suitable chair.
296
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:16,814
Can we get Ambassador Wyler
a suitable chair?
297
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:19,483
- Can I get you a chair?
- I love my chair.
298
00:14:19,483 --> 00:14:21,986
I'm really curious
about agenda item three.
299
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:23,153
Perhaps a cushion?
300
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:26,365
- Perfect. Thank you.
- [chuckles]
301
00:14:30,744 --> 00:14:31,704
Okay--
302
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:38,544
Thank you.
303
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:39,461
[Anu] So to review,
304
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:43,674
one, a demonstration of the strong,
healthy U.S.-UK relationship,
305
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:46,343
two, Iran, and three, Russia.
306
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:48,846
Thank you, Anu.
307
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:54,226
If we could move one to three,
and if there are no other changes,
308
00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:57,146
then I think we can continue.
309
00:14:57,146 --> 00:14:58,063
[Anu] Of course.
310
00:14:58,063 --> 00:14:59,231
Why?
311
00:15:02,484 --> 00:15:04,320
Why are we moving one to three?
312
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,073
Between your late arrival
313
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:10,367
and the structural inequity
of the furniture,
314
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:12,453
we're running behind schedule.
315
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:16,749
Item one might warrant
a longer discussion.
316
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:22,004
- Anu.
- Our new item one: Iran.
317
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:25,341
Uh, if we can all turn to page four.
Thank you.
318
00:15:25,341 --> 00:15:27,259
Page number four.
319
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,805
I can do the tour. Got it memorized.
320
00:15:31,805 --> 00:15:34,099
Especially your bit about Lord Earlsby.
321
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:35,351
Wellsby.
322
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:36,936
Mm. Not in my version.
323
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,646
It's no problem, madam.
324
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:40,230
He doesn't trust me.
325
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:41,774
She seems competent.
326
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:44,151
Perhaps the list?
327
00:15:44,151 --> 00:15:45,945
You're right, it's wise.
328
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:49,448
They keep a list of activities I can do.
329
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:50,866
It's terribly dull,
330
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:53,619
but I find if I do two at once,
they spring to life.
331
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:57,331
Tour of the grounds is thing one.
You get to pick thing two.
332
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:02,252
Hmm. Forehead Detective.
333
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:03,379
Excellent.
334
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,006
We need to exonerate Iran,
335
00:16:06,006 --> 00:16:09,593
publicly, vocally,
and as soon as possible.
336
00:16:09,593 --> 00:16:12,179
So when we are ready to accuse Russia,
337
00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:14,556
we've laid the groundwork
for a new narrative...
338
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:17,559
[whispering]
State's position on an apology is no.
339
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,061
He didn't say "apology."
340
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:21,647
Is an Iranian acquittal wise, do we think?
341
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:22,940
They're hardly nuns.
342
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:26,610
[Austin] If Russia's aim was to ensnare us
in a war in the Gulf,
343
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:30,948
then anything other than an acquittal
would be a gift to the Kremlin.
344
00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:34,284
Until we make it clear
that Iran is not the culprit,
345
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:37,830
the rest of the world will believe
Ambassador Hajjar's demise--
346
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:39,206
In your office.
347
00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:42,042
An apology. To Iran.
348
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:43,877
- Nope.
- A shell game.
349
00:16:43,877 --> 00:16:46,130
Russia for Iran.
350
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:50,009
Either way, we can't acquit Iran
till we're ready to name Russia.
351
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:52,594
Meanwhile, what exactly do we tell Iran?
352
00:16:52,594 --> 00:16:54,471
[Kemper-Waithe]
We can offer other concessions.
353
00:16:54,471 --> 00:16:55,889
Just don't offer tea.
354
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,142
She's right, you know.
355
00:16:58,892 --> 00:16:59,727
I was kidding.
356
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:01,353
Or coffee, I'd say.
357
00:17:01,937 --> 00:17:03,022
Oh, my God.
358
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:03,939
Sorry?
359
00:17:03,939 --> 00:17:07,151
You're indulging
hardline Iranian conspiracy theories
360
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:10,779
and acting like we snuck Hajjar's body
out in a suitcase.
361
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:13,741
The CIA didn't kill Kennedy,
362
00:17:13,741 --> 00:17:15,617
Q is not the Internet messiah,
363
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:17,619
and the tea was not poisoned.
364
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:19,955
[clears throat]
365
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,875
I was told the chemical testing
is not yet complete.
366
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:25,794
If he was poisoned, it wasn't the tea.
367
00:17:25,794 --> 00:17:28,672
He didn't even drink it
until after his symptoms began.
368
00:17:28,672 --> 00:17:29,757
[coughing]
369
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:31,508
Austin?
370
00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:32,426
Water.
371
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:35,679
[Anu] I think we're due for a break.
372
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:38,265
Okay. Break.
373
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:44,021
Do you know what you just said?
374
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,356
Did I say you were kind of snippy?
'Cause you are.
375
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:49,568
You said his symptoms began
before he drank the tea.
376
00:17:49,568 --> 00:17:50,486
Yeah.
377
00:17:52,112 --> 00:17:56,450
The CIA may not have killed Kennedy
but they did sneak you into my office,
378
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:59,661
shortly after which
the Iranian ambassador left on a gurney.
379
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:01,121
- Shit.
- You're not supposed to know
380
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:03,916
when the symptoms began because
you shouldn't have been in the room.
381
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:06,210
I'm sorry.
382
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:08,420
It's bad enough
383
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,464
- half the world thinks I killed Hajjar.
- I know.
384
00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:14,218
It's best to have not done it
in concert with the great Satan.
385
00:18:14,218 --> 00:18:15,260
[Kate groans]
386
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:20,015
What?
387
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:21,517
Your...
388
00:18:23,018 --> 00:18:25,145
Your shirt. I think you missed a button.
389
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:29,149
Damn it.
390
00:18:33,153 --> 00:18:34,029
No.
391
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:37,825
Thank you.
392
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,789
We can say you told me about the tea.
If anyone asks.
393
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,290
Which I doubt they will.
394
00:18:48,836 --> 00:18:50,546
What's the longer discussion?
395
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:53,715
Item three, formerly known as item one.
We call it the Hug.
396
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:56,635
Oh, they'll notice that we're gone.
397
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,346
I think a statement will do the trick.
398
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:00,389
You love us,
399
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:03,267
Trowbridge won't call the president
a douchebag again.
400
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:04,726
As a token of your contrition,
401
00:19:04,726 --> 00:19:06,770
you're declaring it "tomato,"
not "tomahto."
402
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:09,064
He will not hug.
403
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:11,608
He wants to end it.
404
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:12,693
End what?
405
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:15,529
The entanglement of our two nations.
406
00:19:15,529 --> 00:19:19,700
The assumption
that American might makes right.
407
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:25,372
That the British military cannot act
without American assistance or approval.
408
00:19:25,372 --> 00:19:27,916
That we suffer the whims
of your elected officials
409
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:31,587
and are bludgeoned
by your unflagging self-interest.
410
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:36,049
It might be dangerous
to be America's enemy,
411
00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:39,094
but to be its friend is fatal.
412
00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:44,057
Are you out of your fucking mind?
413
00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:45,309
Please keep your voice--
414
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:47,019
You're breaking up with us?
415
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,354
- The prime minister--
- You ditched the EU.
416
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:51,773
Scotland and Northern Ireland want out.
417
00:19:51,773 --> 00:19:54,735
Russia just spent a year
murdering Ukrainians,
418
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:57,404
now they're turning
their attention to you.
419
00:19:57,404 --> 00:20:00,365
This is when
you wanna rethink the alliance?
420
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:02,534
You're right, it's a longer discussion.
421
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:05,078
Let's gin up a non-apology apology
422
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:08,498
to a nearly nuclear
anti-Western theocracy.
423
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:11,001
Turns out it's less loaded than the Hug.
424
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:15,130
Not an apology.
425
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:17,466
It's beyond the realm of the possible.
426
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:19,301
- Alistair.
- Beyond the realm.
427
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:20,761
All right.
428
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:24,348
I can also think of a few things
they would prefer to an apology.
429
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:25,307
Such as?
430
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:27,142
Striking their Revolutionary Guard
431
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:29,603
from the Foreign Terrorist
Organizations list.
432
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:31,104
That's not the point.
433
00:20:31,104 --> 00:20:34,358
I think Iran would consider it
directly to the point.
434
00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:38,904
Ambassador Wyler,
we are no longer an empire.
435
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:40,739
We're not even part of a continent.
436
00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:44,701
We're a small island nation
with a great democracy.
437
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:47,663
We called Iran the enemy
and they were not,
438
00:20:47,663 --> 00:20:49,373
so now we say something. We apologize.
439
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:51,250
Even if America prefer we not,
440
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:54,962
because when the rest of the world
stop believing our word,
441
00:20:54,962 --> 00:20:56,421
our might goes with it.
442
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:58,006
What exactly's going on?
443
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:01,051
[whispering]
444
00:21:07,516 --> 00:21:08,850
Some happy tidings.
445
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:12,271
The prime minister has found himself
in the neighborhood
446
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,439
and is dropping by to say hello.
447
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:20,779
[car horn honking]
448
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:39,423
Prime Minister, what an honor.
449
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:40,966
The road opened up before me
450
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:44,678
and I'm afraid it was as if
the whole county of Kent was lying back
451
00:21:44,678 --> 00:21:49,141
and opening her well-bred legs
to be ravished by this beast of an engine.
452
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:51,852
So I find myself here.
453
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:58,608
It's quite the car.
454
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:03,322
It's a loan from a friend.
455
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:05,240
He's got one of those names
you can't pronounce,
456
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,075
so I thought I'd take it for a spin
457
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:09,828
before the ethics Nazis
spoil the whole thing.
458
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:15,292
[sniffing]
459
00:22:15,292 --> 00:22:16,209
Good God.
460
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:18,378
Sniff.
461
00:22:18,378 --> 00:22:19,838
Go on. Everyone.
462
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:22,799
Tell me, what do you smell?
463
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,009
Julian.
464
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:27,179
- Nothing in particular?
- Nothing in particular. Yeah.
465
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:31,892
Whereas Chequers,
which is my grace-and-favor retreat,
466
00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:33,101
has a certain pong.
467
00:22:33,101 --> 00:22:34,936
Lydia won't shut up about it.
468
00:22:35,812 --> 00:22:37,731
It's your office all over again.
469
00:22:37,731 --> 00:22:40,525
I'm the one they elected.
Why do you get all the good toys?
470
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:44,571
- [Austin] Good to see you, sir.
- [Trowbridge] Good to be seen.
471
00:22:51,953 --> 00:22:53,622
I hear the Great Ganon's a drunk,
472
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:56,625
so cocktails should come
early and often tomorrow.
473
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:59,753
You're discussing Russia,
so vodka, clearly, to set the tone.
474
00:23:00,253 --> 00:23:01,922
That's my two cents' worth.
475
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,632
What have you come up with?
476
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:06,009
Well, we've just begun.
477
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:11,515
You might prefer a full briefing
after the meeting.
478
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:13,600
No, I don't prefer. I want it now.
479
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:19,022
Well, we've finalized the agenda
for tomorrow.
480
00:23:19,022 --> 00:23:20,524
First, Iran.
481
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:21,775
- Some sort of--
- Pivot.
482
00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:23,193
No. First, Russia.
483
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:29,574
Big country. Butchered Ukraine.
484
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:31,535
Blasted our aircraft carrier to bits.
485
00:23:33,161 --> 00:23:36,373
We've not broached
the Russia question just yet.
486
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:41,336
It's interesting.
487
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:47,509
I'm being wallpapered by the press
for a certain lack of action.
488
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:50,470
The Times is calling for a snap election.
489
00:23:51,638 --> 00:23:55,642
Ganon is coming tomorrow
to stand shoulder to shoulder with us,
490
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:58,728
presumably while we say something
to the world about what happened,
491
00:23:58,728 --> 00:24:02,482
and meanwhile, you haven't
broached the Russia question yet.
492
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:06,903
Ambassador Wyler, you're clever.
Does that scan for you?
493
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:09,906
No one's forgotten about Russia.
494
00:24:09,906 --> 00:24:14,744
I'm just merely wondering if there's an
agenda to my foreign secretary's agenda.
495
00:24:15,954 --> 00:24:16,872
Of course not.
496
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:18,206
I asked the ambassador.
497
00:24:19,749 --> 00:24:22,794
Madam Ambassador, did Iran hit our ship?
498
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:24,421
No.
499
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:26,006
So why are we talking about them?
500
00:24:26,673 --> 00:24:30,051
With respect, if Russia framed Iran...
501
00:24:30,051 --> 00:24:31,386
It's always "if."
502
00:24:31,386 --> 00:24:36,558
...you can turn Iran from one of Russia's
only friends to a sworn enemy.
503
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:40,395
He's setting you up
to be a great statesman.
504
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:43,481
"To be." Someday.
505
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:48,361
Meanwhile, I've got 41 widows
506
00:24:48,361 --> 00:24:51,281
wishing that they had
your Second Amendment rights today,
507
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:52,782
not someday.
508
00:24:56,536 --> 00:24:58,496
The Russians blew up our fucking warship.
509
00:24:58,496 --> 00:25:01,833
Perhaps we should stop wetting the bed
and seize tomorrow, if not today,
510
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,210
to say who's done it.
511
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:06,504
- Sir, if you would just give us a chance--
- Perhaps you're right.
512
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:11,009
Well, look at that.
513
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:12,636
Thank you, Austin.
514
00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:15,764
No, thank you.
This has been really helpful.
515
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,558
Oh, I'm not leaving.
516
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:21,228
Sleeves up.
517
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:22,479
Let's muck in.
518
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,194
Am I a man?
519
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:32,447
Mm... Partly, at best.
520
00:25:33,114 --> 00:25:35,200
Let's say it's subjective.
521
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,577
Trees. Pond.
522
00:25:37,577 --> 00:25:38,828
Am I alive?
523
00:25:39,955 --> 00:25:41,206
From the waist down, maybe.
524
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:42,582
Do I know me?
525
00:25:42,582 --> 00:25:44,709
Oh, well, I hope not.
526
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:48,672
Although you'll say you do
if you ever run for higher office.
527
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:51,466
Will you?
528
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:53,551
Say I know me?
529
00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:55,178
No. Run for something.
530
00:25:55,178 --> 00:25:57,013
Escape the purgatory.
531
00:25:57,597 --> 00:25:58,848
I'm enjoying the break.
532
00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:01,059
Well, that's bollocks.
533
00:26:03,019 --> 00:26:04,938
- Why, do I know me?
- No.
534
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,732
Maybe. No.
535
00:26:07,732 --> 00:26:08,650
Careful.
536
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:09,776
I know everyone.
537
00:26:09,776 --> 00:26:11,152
He'd love you.
538
00:26:11,152 --> 00:26:13,029
He. That's interesting.
539
00:26:13,905 --> 00:26:16,908
Ah, the Great Temple.
There's another one around the corner
540
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,703
called something like
the Slightly Less Great Temple.
541
00:26:19,703 --> 00:26:20,787
Temple.
542
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:22,414
I'm not...
543
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:25,875
Am I God?
544
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:28,295
What a thing to say.
545
00:26:28,295 --> 00:26:29,379
Not no.
546
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:31,423
Am I Jesus?
547
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:33,174
Ah! Ding, ding, ding.
548
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:35,468
- And I'm...
- Absolutely not.
549
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:36,678
Austin!
550
00:26:37,178 --> 00:26:39,472
Hey! You're a conniving little cheat.
551
00:26:39,472 --> 00:26:43,059
No, I'm not. I'm Henry fucking Kissinger.
552
00:26:45,186 --> 00:26:46,938
"Perhaps you're right"?
553
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:49,607
Do you understand
what we're talking about here?
554
00:26:49,607 --> 00:26:52,235
Accusing Russia
of attacking a British warship.
555
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:55,280
Tomorrow,
with the U.S. secretary of state.
556
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,490
We're talking about it, that is all.
557
00:26:57,490 --> 00:26:59,409
The meeting will now
become a Russia briefing.
558
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:02,912
After which, if there is a God,
the prime minister will leave.
559
00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:07,417
I really think we need to tell him
we're not ready for a Russia accusation.
560
00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:10,712
I need you to follow my lead.
Is there any way you might do that?
561
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:13,506
You're asking for my help?
562
00:27:14,632 --> 00:27:16,384
- I am.
- Because I have a lot going on.
563
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:18,511
I have to tell Ganon
he's about to be ambushed
564
00:27:18,511 --> 00:27:21,765
with a request that our two nations
start seeing other people.
565
00:27:21,765 --> 00:27:25,352
At times, I have to serve
as the prime minister's voice box.
566
00:27:25,352 --> 00:27:28,313
But I, as me, am asking you, as you,
567
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:30,023
for your help.
568
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:40,033
How can I be of service?
569
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:45,622
He needs a brisk, chatty briefing
on Russia strategy.
570
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:47,582
Something that makes him feel--
571
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:49,167
Smart and in control?
572
00:27:49,667 --> 00:27:51,920
- I suppose, yeah.
- He's not a unicorn.
573
00:27:58,676 --> 00:28:01,846
In an unexpected
change to today's schedule,
574
00:28:01,846 --> 00:28:04,641
our agenda now reads thus:
575
00:28:05,225 --> 00:28:07,727
One, Russia.
576
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:09,145
Two,
577
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:11,147
Russia.
578
00:28:11,773 --> 00:28:13,233
Three-- Julian?
579
00:28:13,233 --> 00:28:14,484
Russia?
580
00:28:15,235 --> 00:28:16,361
Fast learner.
581
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,363
But it isn't, officially.
582
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:20,949
Isn't what?
583
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:22,242
Russia.
584
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:23,868
Not officially.
585
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:26,913
I can't fucking believe this.
586
00:28:28,581 --> 00:28:33,294
I thought that the Indians
had tracked the guy
587
00:28:33,294 --> 00:28:35,296
who blew up the boat and shot the shot.
588
00:28:35,296 --> 00:28:36,297
They did.
589
00:28:36,297 --> 00:28:38,883
And after which, Romanian intelligence,
590
00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:41,970
in one of the great triumphs
of mice over men,
591
00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:45,014
- espied him fleeing to Russia...
- Sir, the complicating--
592
00:28:45,014 --> 00:28:48,226
...where he was paid by... What's it?
593
00:28:48,226 --> 00:28:49,811
- Lenkov.
- Who is Russian!
594
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:50,979
Why is this hard?
595
00:28:52,522 --> 00:28:56,359
You're foreign policy advisors,
armed with the entire Cold War playbook.
596
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,987
You're not flat-earthers
looking for the edge.
597
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:05,118
Sir, we can't blithely
lob accusations at Russia.
598
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:07,704
They're a nuclear power
run by an individual
599
00:29:07,704 --> 00:29:12,333
who will happily level sovereign nations
even without provocation.
600
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:16,254
We call it genocide.
Russia calls it a job well done.
601
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,381
- Okay. Then accuse Lenin.
- Lenkov.
602
00:29:18,381 --> 00:29:22,260
Whoever the fuck he is,
charge him with the slaughter of 41 men!
603
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:23,553
And women.
604
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:26,973
Lenkov is a fig leaf for the Kremlin.
605
00:29:28,183 --> 00:29:30,727
The moment we accuse
either Russia or Lenkov
606
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:34,397
of a direct attack on the United Kingdom,
a NATO ally,
607
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:36,691
they will preempt our response.
608
00:29:36,691 --> 00:29:39,277
Unable to match us
in conventional warfare,
609
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:42,363
they may break the seal
of the last remaining taboo:
610
00:29:42,363 --> 00:29:43,990
nuclear weapons.
611
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:46,159
Tactical warheads, to start,
612
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:49,120
as if they're somehow less significant,
which they aren't.
613
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,830
He's driving off a cliff here.
614
00:29:50,830 --> 00:29:53,792
And if we follow your bluster
through to its natural end--
615
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:57,337
- Sorry. My fucking what?
- Sir, I think you're missing the point.
616
00:29:58,129 --> 00:29:59,005
Am I?
617
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:03,426
The prime minister is well aware
we can't accuse Russia
618
00:30:03,426 --> 00:30:06,012
until we know how we're going to respond.
619
00:30:06,012 --> 00:30:08,056
It would be insane.
620
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:11,726
But he's looking further down the road
while we're still worried about evidence.
621
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:15,146
The secretary of state is on his way.
622
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:18,191
And while we may not need
the prime minister's help
623
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:20,568
crafting an accusation,
624
00:30:20,568 --> 00:30:24,572
we clearly need his help
in crafting a response.
625
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:31,204
Ah. Out of the mouths of babes.
626
00:30:31,204 --> 00:30:33,164
I'll make some calls. When I get back,
627
00:30:33,164 --> 00:30:36,584
you're gonna provide me
with some options for a response.
628
00:30:38,461 --> 00:30:39,838
You have 20 minutes.
629
00:30:50,139 --> 00:30:53,852
Who is the Russia guy from the NDI
you worked with in Tallinn?
630
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:56,145
Schulman?
631
00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,066
My morning was delightful,
thank you for asking.
632
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:01,526
I have 20 minutes to generate
633
00:31:01,526 --> 00:31:04,153
a British-led,
bilateral response to Russia.
634
00:31:04,153 --> 00:31:07,073
- Who was the guy?
- I got a tour of the grounds.
635
00:31:07,073 --> 00:31:10,118
- Turns out she's the sister, not the wife.
- What?
636
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:12,245
Cecilia Dennison.
637
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:15,248
Is his sister?
638
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:16,875
Curveball.
639
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:22,714
Who brings their sister?
640
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:26,759
She got dumped
by some vaguely royal asshole.
641
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:30,805
And Dennison took her lame suicide attempt
way too seriously.
642
00:31:30,805 --> 00:31:33,975
- Oh, shit.
- Now he won't let her out of his sight.
643
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:36,227
She loves her brother.
644
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:39,647
Says he can be a bit of a prig
but he has a good heart.
645
00:31:39,647 --> 00:31:42,609
That his wife died a couple of years ago,
646
00:31:42,609 --> 00:31:45,403
and he desperately needs to get laid.
647
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:47,614
- Jesus.
- Look...
648
00:31:50,491 --> 00:31:53,912
If I'm leaving, you'll need
a little something on the side,
649
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:57,332
or you'll get surly,
which is bad for America.
650
00:31:57,332 --> 00:31:58,249
Hal.
651
00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:03,755
He is the platonic ideal of all
those fucking handsome, repressed nerds
652
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,131
you dated before you met me.
653
00:32:05,131 --> 00:32:07,216
Don't pretend you didn't notice.
654
00:32:07,216 --> 00:32:10,845
The Russia guy?
With the frozen toilets in Tallinn?
655
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:12,931
Shellman?
656
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:15,892
I mean it. You should tap that.
657
00:32:18,227 --> 00:32:21,481
He had an idea about
how to sanction the cobalt oligarch
658
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:23,733
without tanking the world's cobalt supply.
659
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:25,276
Yeah.
660
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,446
What's his fucking name?
661
00:32:30,073 --> 00:32:31,199
I don't remember.
662
00:32:39,540 --> 00:32:41,167
Gellman. Gellman!
663
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:46,381
Ben Gellman.
664
00:32:49,384 --> 00:32:51,636
- Can I help you, ma'am?
- No.
665
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:52,971
- You all right?
- Yeah.
666
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:55,181
- [Stuart] You were shouting.
- Ben Gellman, from the NDI,
667
00:32:55,181 --> 00:32:58,810
I need to call him,
and I need to get financials,
668
00:32:58,810 --> 00:33:02,897
vice chairman of Gazprom,
and I'm gonna... figure that out.
669
00:33:11,447 --> 00:33:14,367
Hi. You know I work for you, right?
670
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:15,910
- Yeah.
- [Stuart] As does Ronnie.
671
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:16,828
Thrilled.
672
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:20,206
You were a DCM, but you're not anymore.
673
00:33:20,206 --> 00:33:23,584
So if you need to figure stuff out,
I am a resource.
674
00:33:23,584 --> 00:33:27,255
As is Ronnie, as are the 800
other folks that work for you.
675
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,843
- By the time I explain it--
- Ma'am, I think you should try.
676
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:35,138
I think that we are doing
the part of the job you like,
677
00:33:35,138 --> 00:33:37,807
you're great at it, but it is a big job.
678
00:33:37,807 --> 00:33:39,142
So is mine.
679
00:33:39,142 --> 00:33:40,560
You can't handle both.
680
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:42,311
I've got Ben Gellman.
681
00:33:48,067 --> 00:33:49,569
You can come in.
682
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:54,949
You, I need 17 plausible
diplomatic retaliations to Russia.
683
00:33:54,949 --> 00:33:57,744
I have two in place. Spitballing for more.
684
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:01,873
Is that... writing?
685
00:34:02,415 --> 00:34:04,917
The prime minister gives
a speech to Parliament.
686
00:34:04,917 --> 00:34:08,129
The speech doesn't even
mention Russia or Lenkov.
687
00:34:08,129 --> 00:34:12,175
But you invite the widow of the guy that
the Russians poisoned in London in '06,
688
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:15,178
making it clear
that he's talking about Russia.
689
00:34:15,178 --> 00:34:16,596
- He loves a speech.
- He does.
690
00:34:16,596 --> 00:34:20,349
But like with the cobalt sanctions
and the travel ban, it is insufficient.
691
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:22,518
Which is why you pitch all of them.
692
00:34:22,518 --> 00:34:25,146
On their own,
they feel like nothingburgers.
693
00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:26,981
But add them all up,
694
00:34:26,981 --> 00:34:29,484
- it'll feel like a fire hose of--
- Nothingburgers.
695
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:32,653
- It'll feel like a multi-pronged assault.
- I think it won't.
696
00:34:32,653 --> 00:34:35,406
Well, sadly, "no" is not a pitch.
697
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:38,743
Blow through them all fast,
make him feel like it's a--
698
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,453
- Fire hose.
- Exactly.
699
00:34:53,007 --> 00:34:55,468
- [Hal] There you are.
- Were you looking for me?
700
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:56,636
I was.
701
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,847
I got this from one of the fine gentlemen
in the stables.
702
00:34:59,847 --> 00:35:01,474
Mm, a naughty stable boy?
703
00:35:01,474 --> 00:35:03,017
I thought he was nice.
704
00:35:03,893 --> 00:35:05,895
You are delicious.
705
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:08,898
Can you be trusted to nick
a decent bottle from the cellar?
706
00:35:08,898 --> 00:35:11,109
- That's what I was born to do.
- Okay.
707
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:13,361
You find us some food.
708
00:35:13,361 --> 00:35:14,612
Oh, and take these.
709
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:18,449
If anyone asks,
you're going to watch the purple martins.
710
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:20,409
They're small birds. They're not purple,
711
00:35:20,409 --> 00:35:23,246
but, well, somehow everyone thinks
they're worth a trek.
712
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:25,248
Purple martins. Okay.
713
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:31,629
A travel ban.
714
00:35:33,339 --> 00:35:35,049
On all Russian citizens.
715
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:40,680
They kill 41 British sailors,
I spoil their mini-break in Kensington?
716
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,224
If you coordinate the action
with the United States--
717
00:35:43,224 --> 00:35:45,393
I get to spoil their mini-break
in Palm Beach as well?
718
00:35:45,393 --> 00:35:46,310
India.
719
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:50,648
We may be able to entice India
to join our Russia sanctions.
720
00:35:50,648 --> 00:35:51,816
I'm gonna kill myself.
721
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:57,655
Well, the cumulative force
of a fire hose of diplomatic--
722
00:35:57,655 --> 00:35:59,740
Bullshit.
A fire hose of diplomatic bullshit.
723
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:04,245
- What the foreign secretary is trying to--
- Yes, I know. But I cry bullshit!
724
00:36:04,871 --> 00:36:06,581
A month into the Ukraine war,
725
00:36:06,581 --> 00:36:10,084
we'd already crawled
all the way up the diplomatic ladder.
726
00:36:10,084 --> 00:36:13,129
We sanctioned Russian debt,
we embargoed their oil,
727
00:36:13,129 --> 00:36:15,214
and banned them from SWIFT, yes?
728
00:36:15,214 --> 00:36:17,758
We spanked, and we bluffed.
729
00:36:17,758 --> 00:36:20,178
And we smashed the rungs as we climbed.
730
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:22,138
There are no moves left.
731
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:28,394
Meanwhile, they've bombed
maternity wards in Mariupol,
732
00:36:29,228 --> 00:36:30,771
and shelled Chernobyl,
733
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:35,651
and gone in Iranian fancy dress
to blow open our prized vessel.
734
00:36:35,651 --> 00:36:37,778
So why can't we follow suit?
735
00:36:39,155 --> 00:36:43,576
If we do what they do,
if we obliterate the rules-based order--
736
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:45,703
What, that makes me a hypocrite?
737
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:47,663
So what? I can think of worse words.
738
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:49,832
How does "war criminal" suit?
739
00:36:49,832 --> 00:36:53,794
- Might be a good time to break for lunch.
- No, I will break for lunch.
740
00:36:53,794 --> 00:36:57,798
You will stay here, hungry and focused,
741
00:36:58,466 --> 00:37:01,260
until you can find
an in-kind response to Russia
742
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:04,180
that does not make me
look like a wobbling pussy.
743
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:21,614
[Kate sighs]
744
00:37:21,614 --> 00:37:22,990
After you, ma'am.
745
00:37:24,659 --> 00:37:28,037
Secretary Dennison,
could we borrow you for a moment?
746
00:37:28,037 --> 00:37:29,163
Of course.
747
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:33,668
[Hoope] Excuse me?
748
00:37:33,668 --> 00:37:36,295
- Are they eating?
- It wouldn't be right.
749
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:40,091
[cutlery clattering]
750
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:42,385
Hal Wyler.
751
00:37:42,385 --> 00:37:45,721
- Prime Minister, good to see you again.
- Come and help me make a dent.
752
00:37:45,721 --> 00:37:48,391
Ah. Where's the crew?
753
00:37:49,141 --> 00:37:52,436
I'm taking a leaf
from the book of St. Bonaventure.
754
00:37:52,436 --> 00:37:55,523
It's 1268, the cardinals
can't agree on a new pope,
755
00:37:55,523 --> 00:37:57,733
so, what does Bonnie do?
756
00:37:57,733 --> 00:37:59,026
Makes them a spread?
757
00:37:59,026 --> 00:38:03,406
He locks them up without any food
until they make up their fucking minds.
758
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:06,325
- Ah.
- Three died, but it worked.
759
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:09,120
- Jesus Christ.
- That's what the cardinals said.
760
00:38:11,038 --> 00:38:12,873
You've dealt with the Russians.
761
00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:15,418
Uh, yeah, a few times.
762
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:18,421
Why has this lot gone limp
at the idea of a confrontation?
763
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:23,092
What would you have me do?
764
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,931
You'd have to ask the ambassador.
765
00:38:29,932 --> 00:38:33,436
I am off to find the purple martins.
766
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:37,023
Purple what?
767
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:39,817
The tox screen's still not back,
768
00:38:39,817 --> 00:38:42,778
but the Met Police would like to talk
to you no matter what it says.
769
00:38:42,778 --> 00:38:45,281
- Sir, you've already met with them?
- More than once.
770
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:47,450
It would be helpful if we could, uh...
771
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:49,618
- Get our stories straight.
- Exactly.
772
00:38:49,618 --> 00:38:51,120
You should sit.
773
00:38:59,128 --> 00:39:01,255
- Sorry to pull you out.
- [Kate] Not at all.
774
00:39:01,255 --> 00:39:03,883
Just wanted to make sure
everyone's got the same timeline.
775
00:39:03,883 --> 00:39:06,510
Happy to review.
It's been an issue already.
776
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:10,097
It hasn't been an issue. No one noticed.
777
00:39:10,097 --> 00:39:11,807
Who wants to bring me up to speed?
778
00:39:11,807 --> 00:39:15,644
I vaguely suggested I knew
when the ambassador's symptoms began,
779
00:39:15,644 --> 00:39:17,480
which was before I arrived.
780
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,231
- Nobody noticed.
- [coughs]
781
00:39:20,566 --> 00:39:21,650
You noticed.
782
00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:23,194
- [Stuart] No.
- [Austin] He noticed.
783
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:26,030
I wouldn't have put it together
if you hadn't brought it up.
784
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:29,825
But you noticed,
which means any of them may have.
785
00:39:29,825 --> 00:39:31,744
Well, the coughing fit largely covered.
786
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:34,246
- Largely?
- It sounded like you swallowed a cat.
787
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:35,247
[Stuart] Let's move on.
788
00:39:35,247 --> 00:39:38,667
What time did she reach the inside
of the foreign secretary's office?
789
00:39:43,714 --> 00:39:44,548
You don't know?
790
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:46,550
I do. You don't...
791
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:50,721
is the issue.
I've already been questioned.
792
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:53,057
So it doesn't matter when I got there,
793
00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:55,476
what matters is when you said I got there.
794
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:57,478
- Stuart?
- We haven't had lunch.
795
00:39:57,478 --> 00:40:00,272
The medics arrived in the office at 16:26,
796
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:03,275
so let's agree on 16:30.
797
00:40:04,276 --> 00:40:07,154
Where exactly did Ambassador Hajjar fall?
798
00:40:07,154 --> 00:40:10,574
He dropped the teacup by the table,
he fell to the floor.
799
00:40:10,574 --> 00:40:11,659
No.
800
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:15,913
I think I remember the sight
of the man dying in my office.
801
00:40:16,455 --> 00:40:18,290
He toppled to the ground,
you went to his side,
802
00:40:18,290 --> 00:40:20,376
said something encouraging,
I summoned help.
803
00:40:20,376 --> 00:40:23,337
No. He fell to the couch.
I helped him to the floor.
804
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,714
- Oh, she's very helpful.
- [Eidra] She's not.
805
00:40:25,714 --> 00:40:27,383
Because she didn't.
806
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:30,261
She arrived after he was on the floor.
807
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:33,347
She has no idea how he fell.
808
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:36,392
- Fuck.
- Yeah, she shouldn't talk to the police.
809
00:40:36,392 --> 00:40:38,310
Can we just kill this?
810
00:40:43,023 --> 00:40:44,984
- [Hal] What's Trowbridge's deal?
- [Cecilia] Hmm?
811
00:40:44,984 --> 00:40:46,819
[Hal] Is it an act, all that...?
812
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:49,572
[Cecilia] Some but not all.
813
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:52,783
I remember the first time I saw him
rush up to the podium
814
00:40:52,783 --> 00:40:55,703
to read his remarks from scribbles
on the back of his hand,
815
00:40:55,703 --> 00:40:58,289
and check the logo behind him to see
816
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:01,459
exactly what he was
supposed to be remarking on.
817
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:08,924
I thought he was like a very bright
13-year-old boy with ADHD.
818
00:41:08,924 --> 00:41:11,051
I mean, erudite as fuck.
819
00:41:11,051 --> 00:41:13,053
Clever enough not to have to do the work
820
00:41:13,053 --> 00:41:16,724
but not quite slick enough to hide it.
821
00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:18,517
Mm.
822
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:19,852
Swap.
823
00:41:21,854 --> 00:41:26,108
Second time I saw him rush to the stage
and check the backdrop,
824
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,028
I realized I'd underestimated him.
825
00:41:29,028 --> 00:41:30,362
Faux casual.
826
00:41:30,362 --> 00:41:32,239
- That's a good trick.
- Mm-hm.
827
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:38,579
Do you think it'll rain?
828
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:42,458
- [Hal] Uh, no.
- I wish it would.
829
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:44,126
Why?
830
00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:50,508
A bit of rain each day makes it easier
that my entire directive
831
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:55,095
is to leave as little impression
on the skin of this world as is possible.
832
00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:06,732
Are you a moper?
833
00:42:08,108 --> 00:42:10,027
Am I--? A moper?
834
00:42:10,819 --> 00:42:11,737
A brooder.
835
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,532
You know, a sad girl,
836
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:17,952
a wistful, drifty,
837
00:42:17,952 --> 00:42:20,746
malnourished little fucking waif.
838
00:42:20,746 --> 00:42:24,166
Okay, well, I'm sitting here,
eating your cheese.
839
00:42:24,166 --> 00:42:26,835
- Yeah.
- Nibbling your parmesan.
840
00:42:26,835 --> 00:42:28,963
I'm a magnet for mopey women.
841
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:31,215
I mean, come on.
842
00:42:31,215 --> 00:42:34,426
This may be one of the epic days
in the life of a man.
843
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:37,888
I mean, the water's dancing,
844
00:42:37,888 --> 00:42:40,474
the air carries a whiff
of freshly cut hay,
845
00:42:40,474 --> 00:42:42,059
and we're here...
846
00:42:43,477 --> 00:42:47,147
commanded by crown and country
to devour the plunder of kings
847
00:42:47,147 --> 00:42:49,275
and the plenty of the land.
848
00:42:49,275 --> 00:42:52,528
And here I am with yet another woman
849
00:42:52,528 --> 00:42:56,240
who could find that one piece of cloud
850
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,367
in every silver lining.
851
00:42:59,076 --> 00:42:59,994
Yeah.
852
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:03,581
Your mopey wife is not my remit.
853
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,667
In any case,
I've earned a touch of malaise.
854
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:10,921
Objectively speaking,
I'm here to tell you,
855
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:12,298
you fell in a tub of butter.
856
00:43:12,298 --> 00:43:16,594
You should have the good grace to shut
your mouth and rub it all over yourself.
857
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:17,511
Right?
858
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,098
I thought you were kind.
859
00:43:22,891 --> 00:43:25,227
Do you wind up with men who are unkind?
860
00:43:28,314 --> 00:43:30,107
Were they unkind at the start?
861
00:43:31,609 --> 00:43:33,819
My women weren't mopey at the start.
862
00:43:38,032 --> 00:43:39,867
I think I bring it out in them.
863
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:44,997
- What are you doing?
- Getting away from you.
864
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:47,249
I'm eating the world.
865
00:43:47,249 --> 00:43:51,587
I don't wanna waste this epic day
with an anhedonic.
866
00:44:02,181 --> 00:44:03,015
Whoo!
867
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,017
Woo-hoo-hoo!
868
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:07,144
It's glorious.
869
00:44:08,687 --> 00:44:09,688
Fuck yeah!
870
00:44:10,230 --> 00:44:12,316
Get in the fucking water.
871
00:44:14,109 --> 00:44:16,278
- Get in.
- Yeah.
872
00:44:16,278 --> 00:44:18,155
- Oh, come on.
- It looks cold.
873
00:44:18,155 --> 00:44:20,532
It's not. Get in the fucking water.
874
00:44:20,532 --> 00:44:25,329
Ugh. You are quite cruel, it turns out.
875
00:44:25,329 --> 00:44:27,790
Get in. Immediately.
876
00:44:28,874 --> 00:44:30,376
- It's murky.
- It's murky.
877
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:32,628
Look, no, I'm not being mopey.
878
00:44:32,628 --> 00:44:35,089
There are fucking things growing out.
879
00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:36,840
- Jesus.
- [shouts]
880
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,385
Come on, dive. Dive.
881
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:46,016
[Cecilia groans]
882
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:48,477
Jesus fucking Christ, it's cold!
883
00:44:48,477 --> 00:44:50,062
- No, it's not.
- Oh!
884
00:44:50,979 --> 00:44:52,481
Oh, fuck.
885
00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:53,565
Christ.
886
00:44:55,275 --> 00:44:57,152
Get over here and warm me up.
887
00:44:57,152 --> 00:45:00,989
Now, that, my wifty little waif, I can do.
888
00:45:02,825 --> 00:45:04,576
It's fucking cold.
889
00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:07,496
- Oh, shit.
- Oh...
890
00:45:08,747 --> 00:45:09,915
- Stay close.
- [chuckles]
891
00:45:24,012 --> 00:45:26,765
I think you ought to fuck me
for my troubles.
892
00:45:28,767 --> 00:45:29,977
Everything but.
893
00:45:31,895 --> 00:45:33,105
What does that mean?
894
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,821
I'm... tragically devoted to my wife.
895
00:45:40,821 --> 00:45:41,947
Oh?
896
00:45:42,614 --> 00:45:45,325
Is this what tragic devotion looks like?
897
00:45:46,034 --> 00:45:47,870
Um, yeah.
898
00:45:49,163 --> 00:45:52,791
The machinery doesn't really
function with anyone else.
899
00:45:52,791 --> 00:45:55,377
- I don't believe you.
- No?
900
00:45:55,878 --> 00:45:57,546
Okay, feel for yourself.
901
00:46:00,716 --> 00:46:01,717
Ah.
902
00:46:02,509 --> 00:46:05,846
- Well, you know there are drugs for this.
- Mm-hm.
903
00:46:05,846 --> 00:46:08,599
There are. There are also wives for this.
904
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:09,683
Ah.
905
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:15,230
You are a bit of a downer, it turns out.
906
00:46:15,230 --> 00:46:18,108
- No wonder we all mope.
- Am I?
907
00:46:19,776 --> 00:46:21,153
Am I a downer?
908
00:46:56,396 --> 00:46:57,397
How's it going?
909
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,817
Slouching toward Bethlehem.
910
00:47:04,154 --> 00:47:07,282
And what kind of therapy
are we trying today?
911
00:47:09,409 --> 00:47:11,119
Yeah, you caught me.
912
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:13,413
I'm kind of fucked up.
913
00:47:14,957 --> 00:47:18,043
- Great.
- This is what the wives do, right?
914
00:47:20,087 --> 00:47:23,173
Drink a little wine, smoke a little pot.
915
00:47:23,173 --> 00:47:24,508
Take the air.
916
00:47:26,468 --> 00:47:28,136
Playing the part like a pro.
917
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:32,099
I'm fucking killing myself
trying to prove to you
918
00:47:32,099 --> 00:47:34,518
that I can sit in the back seat
and just stay there.
919
00:47:34,518 --> 00:47:37,396
And it requires actual sedation.
920
00:47:38,647 --> 00:47:40,107
Jesus, Hal.
921
00:47:40,107 --> 00:47:45,654
You know, the PM asked me
how he should handle Russia,
922
00:47:45,654 --> 00:47:50,784
and I talked about
purple fucking bluebirds.
923
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:53,954
I didn't give him any advice.
I didn't call anyone.
924
00:47:53,954 --> 00:47:57,165
I didn't rally support for you
behind your back. I--
925
00:47:57,165 --> 00:47:59,585
I went for a nice walk.
926
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:01,169
I took a swim.
927
00:48:01,169 --> 00:48:04,464
I got my dick handled by a nubile thing,
928
00:48:04,464 --> 00:48:09,136
and it behaved the way it always does
when it's not you.
929
00:48:09,970 --> 00:48:11,263
And then I came here.
930
00:48:17,811 --> 00:48:18,687
Yes?
931
00:48:23,442 --> 00:48:26,612
Trowbridge wants to reenact
the Siege of Leningrad.
932
00:48:31,116 --> 00:48:32,159
Thoughts?
933
00:48:35,746 --> 00:48:37,122
It sounds bad.
934
00:48:38,957 --> 00:48:41,877
That's your only thought?
How stoned are you?
935
00:48:41,877 --> 00:48:44,713
I don't wanna get baited
into saying something
936
00:48:44,713 --> 00:48:46,173
that's gonna make you hate me.
937
00:48:47,299 --> 00:48:49,259
That's not what's happening here.
938
00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:51,678
All right, you want my help,
you don't want my help.
939
00:48:51,678 --> 00:48:54,806
I'm the smartest man you've ever met,
I'm the biggest idiot in the world.
940
00:48:54,806 --> 00:48:59,436
Can't we just admit
that I am not the only problem, Kate?
941
00:49:00,145 --> 00:49:01,688
What the fuck is this?
942
00:49:01,688 --> 00:49:06,151
Is this your latest stab
at saving our marriage?
943
00:49:06,151 --> 00:49:09,237
You're the wife? You do everything I ask?
944
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:13,158
You're so goddamn docile
I'd be psychotic to let you go?
945
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:17,954
Yeah.
946
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:49,653
Mario, it's Kate Wyler.
947
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:53,657
Once more unto the morass. Shall we?
948
00:49:59,663 --> 00:50:00,664
Stuart.
949
00:50:02,791 --> 00:50:05,711
- [Trowbridge] Right, back to our agenda.
- Hold on. One second.
950
00:50:05,711 --> 00:50:07,754
One, Russia. Two, Russia.
951
00:50:07,754 --> 00:50:09,423
- Three-- Julian?
- Russia.
952
00:50:09,423 --> 00:50:10,590
Russia!
953
00:50:11,341 --> 00:50:13,552
Did you get the tox screen results yet?
954
00:50:13,552 --> 00:50:15,762
Yeah, but that's not why I'm calling.
955
00:50:15,762 --> 00:50:17,597
Why don't we start there anyhow?
956
00:50:18,223 --> 00:50:20,267
It wasn't poison. It was a heart attack.
957
00:50:20,267 --> 00:50:21,935
- But that's not--
- Yes!
958
00:50:21,935 --> 00:50:24,104
Oh, I feel like a weight just...
959
00:50:24,771 --> 00:50:27,482
- I feel like I just shat a brick.
- Good for you.
960
00:50:28,108 --> 00:50:29,693
Why is the ambassador calling DoD
961
00:50:29,693 --> 00:50:31,695
for a list of targets
they'd like to paint?
962
00:50:32,904 --> 00:50:34,281
Can you, in English?
963
00:50:34,281 --> 00:50:38,285
She called the Department of Defense
and asked for a list of things
964
00:50:38,285 --> 00:50:40,871
they'd feel comfortable bombing in Russia.
965
00:50:40,871 --> 00:50:44,332
I assume the answer is there's nothing
they'd be comfortable bombing--
966
00:50:44,332 --> 00:50:47,669
If you ask the military for a list
of things they'd like to blow up,
967
00:50:48,170 --> 00:50:49,713
they have answers.
968
00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:57,053
The European Union?
969
00:50:57,679 --> 00:50:58,513
[Austin] Yes.
970
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:01,057
And in your vision of this,
971
00:51:01,057 --> 00:51:03,477
do I fellate them
before they ask or during?
972
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:05,437
I realize this--
973
00:51:05,437 --> 00:51:08,315
The Germans have cocks
small enough to suck while speaking,
974
00:51:08,315 --> 00:51:11,526
but the Belgians, surprisingly, do not.
975
00:51:12,319 --> 00:51:14,070
- Sir--
- We are Great Britain.
976
00:51:14,070 --> 00:51:15,947
We are Global Britain.
977
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:19,868
We are not begging the EU
for some petty bureaucratic vengeance.
978
00:51:19,868 --> 00:51:22,913
As much as we might wish to shove back,
979
00:51:22,913 --> 00:51:27,209
we cannot poke the bear with the world's
second largest nuclear arsenal.
980
00:51:28,043 --> 00:51:31,421
We do what keeps all of us
away from the nuclear ceiling.
981
00:51:31,421 --> 00:51:34,299
- Sir, I'd like to jump in for a second.
- Ma'am?
982
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:35,550
I think he'd like a word.
983
00:51:35,550 --> 00:51:37,886
- She's busy.
- If I could I finish my thought?
984
00:51:37,886 --> 00:51:40,222
- I don't think he liked it.
- If I could get a quick word?
985
00:51:40,222 --> 00:51:43,725
So, what, this is where you propose a
strongly-worded condemnation from the UN?
986
00:51:43,725 --> 00:51:46,144
- I don't think you'd like that either.
- I wouldn't.
987
00:51:46,144 --> 00:51:48,480
Forty-one British servicemen are dead.
988
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,983
It is my responsibility
to honor their sacrifice,
989
00:51:51,983 --> 00:51:55,779
give solace to their families,
and demonstrate to this nation
990
00:51:55,779 --> 00:51:58,615
that they will be protected
by their fucking government.
991
00:51:58,615 --> 00:52:01,076
It sounds like you wanna bomb something.
992
00:52:02,369 --> 00:52:03,370
Why don't we do that?
993
00:52:06,456 --> 00:52:11,628
I have a list of Russian targets
provided by the Department of Defense.
994
00:52:11,628 --> 00:52:15,507
Why don't you pick one,
and we'll blow something up?
995
00:52:21,096 --> 00:52:23,098
[theme music playing]
