...another CIA breach.

Have you heard of Thomas Shaw?
Well, he's the source...

Man: You say jihadi.
I say Maserati.

[ Radio chatter continues ]

Woman: ...and they're not
telling the truth.

Thomas Shaw is exactly
what we need right now.

He needs to know.

[ Buzzer ]

-Is he on yet with Langley?
-Almost.

No interruptions.
-Thanks, Sheila.

Out. I'm on with the deputy
in three.

In two.
-It's about Thomas Shaw.

You can't keep avoiding
my memos on this.

Au contraire, Daniel,
I can, and I will.

I tracked a pattern in
the digitized sign-in logs

at the Berlin newspaper that
have been publishing his leaks.

Oh, Jesus.

You know, I pegged you
for a loner,

not a freaking stalker.

Claudia Gartner,
German national.

I think she is the courier

between Thomas Shaw
and the reporter.

Claudia just paid another visit
to the newspaper.

I am telling you
Shaw is about to strike.

-Get the hell out of here.
-Fine.

Woman:
Jemma Moore on the line, sir.

When the next Shaw leaks drops
in two days time,

you're buying.

Ma'am, I apologize.
I will leave you two be.

I work in finance

-Gracias.

Sí.

Woman: We return now
for breaking news coverage.

Man: The CIA has taken
another hit.

A new leak from anonymous
whistleblower Thomas Shaw

has targeted the U.S. Embassy
in Berlin.

It's hometown
to Shaw's mouthpiece,

journalist Ingrid Hollander
of theBerliner Zeitung.

The Berlin newspaper
has published

damning information
on CIA tactics.

The details are emerging
of midnight disappearances

of suspected terrorists...

Your name's not Katherine,
is it?

No, it isn't, Daniel.

Woman:
A hurricane upgraded...

The Deputy Director was
impressed with your prediction.

She wants you on Shaw's trail
starting with the courier.

Your mission will be solely
under her purview.

Your colleagues
at Berlin Station,

they'll take it
as a normal transfer.

You'll have one week
to begin investigating,

and the station will think
you've just arrived.

Berlin.

Mm-hmm.

Back to your roots.

You're on the next plane.

Wow.

Thanks for the margarita.

The brothers crossed

I suppose they'll want to see

So the brothers are gonna enjoy

Well, a decade as an analyst

to be doing.

If you say so.

Apparently, you learned German

You grew up here?

Yeah, my father was stationed
at Andrews Barracks until '84.

That gives a boy something

So they say.

Good memories?

How old were you
when she died?

Well, headquarters must have
a rather cruel sense of irony

sending you back here
just for a promotion.

I don't think headquarters knows
what irony is.

Well, you are verylucky to be

He spent a long time
recruiting them.

When he's done shaking hands

I will introduce you

It would still be warm

How's Ulrich?

Irritable, irritating.

Now he wants a child.

No.

So, let's cut to the chase.

You don't look a day

that's either fate
or a cosmically bad idea.

With you, Hector, it's one
and the same thing.

Robert: Hector!

You and me, drinks.

His feelings?

This isn't about me.

He wants to know how much
he's worth.

He wants me to show him
how important he is.

An officer in the Saudi General
Intelligence Directorate?

Fuck right,
he's important.

Faisal's giving me
an ultimatum.

He's giving usan ultimatum.

Okay, so, obviously
that's not an option,

so buy him a boyfriend.
This is fucking Berlin.

He's not out cruising,
Robert.

He's in love with me.

He's in love with you?

And this might be a condition
of him staying.

[ Beeping ]

So, why the move
to Budapest?

My wife's Hungarian.

She's traveled enough for me.
It's time to return the favor.

Besides, I don't I want
my sons hitting puberty

in anything-goes Berlin.

Well, I guess I got out
before the fun started.

Isn't that just too cute?

"I brake the law
for Thomas Shaw."

Here's my bumper sticker --

"I stop terrorist attacks
for ungrateful assholes."

Julian Assange, Edward Snowden,
Thomas Shaw --

add them up, they're still
a fucking zero.

[ Car alarm chirps ]Zero?

Yeah, end of the day,
we're still open for business.

We always have,
always will.

Case officers get blown.
Foreign agents rot in jail.

Years of intelligence gets
flushed down the toilet

all because of Shaw?
That's not zero.

No, he's a piece of shit,
I'll give him that.

He'll go away soon enough.

And then it's carry on,
cowboy.

Kevin.

Gerald: Kevin will be taking
over my casework.

Same arrangements
as always --

available
whenever you need him.

When Dieter calls,
it's priority number one.

Daniel: Okay.

Hans Richter is more worried
than he lets on

about the Thomas Shaw Leaks.

We're all worried.

Will Hans give us access,
finally?

We've been monitoring

the newspaper's
electronic traffic --

e-mails, search results,

everything that moves outside
their internal servers.

We began to see they were
fact-checking the leaks

before publishing the story.

Is there any traffic
right now?

I won't know
until Friday's meeting.

Why wasn't this
shared with us?

[ Chuckles ]

He hasn't met Hans.

[ Siren wails in distance ]

The country that catches Shaw
first, Kevin,

or whatever your name is,
gets all your files.

Not just CIA intelligence,

but files shared
by all client countries.

Hans didn't so much
as say it,

but I know he wants us
to drop the ax on someone.

It's like a-a token
accountability gesture

to make amends.

We were helping out
at a fucking refugee center.

Does that not count
for anything?

So what you're saying is,

is you want to fire somebody
at the bottom

who bore absolutely no
responsibility whatsoever?

That'sthe answer?

Well, what do you suggest?
Steven resigns?

You want me to quit?

Oh, no, not you, Robert.
Never.

What would we ever do
without you?

I know what you'ddo.

Enough, you two.
No one's going anywhere.

Who are you?

Daniel Miller.
I'm the new Deputy Liaison.

Here's my report
on Colander.

Wow.

Gerald took me to meet
with him today.

Day 1 and off
to the races, huh?

[ Train tracks rattle

Woman: Good afternoon.

Another Thomas Shaw leak,

another day of damage control

for the Central
Intelligence Agency.

TheBerliner Zeitung
reported today

on a new set of
Thomas Shaw documents

that revealed the identity

of a German intelligence
operative

who's been on the CIA payroll
since 2012.

Just minutes ago, we witnessed
the arrest of Dieter Klaus,

ranking member of the Bundesamt fur Verfassungsschutz,

Germany's Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

Man: The second leak
in as many weeks

to expose CIA operations
in Berlin.

Holy shit, Gerald's fucked.

Let's get Gerald
to a safe house.

So what happens now?

We wait.

Man: Yeah. Just -- just put it
on the chair there, will you?

Man #2:
What's going on here?

[ Phone ringing ]

Shred these, please.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah,
I understand completely.

Yep. Okay.

[ Replaces receiver ]

We need to talk about
Gerald's transfer to Budapest.

The second that Gerald's
agent was outed,

the Budapest post
was off the table.

I'm not asking
for his PCS assignment.

I am asking that he stay
with his wife and children

in Budapest.
Budapest?

With all that intel
in his head?

You think Langley
would allow that?

No. No.

Gerald's going stateside
to be processed.

Three years minimum,
end of story.

Gerald has worked six stations
on three continents.

I think he's deserved a bit more
than a "fuck you."

Ooh.

You're lucky you're not
on a plane.

I'll let him know.

So...

What?

Are we next?

Not the time, Robert.

Really?

Feels like the fucking time
to me, Steven.

Steven?

[ Indistinct conversations,
phones ringing ]

Everyone, a moment, please.

Everyone.

Um, whoever Thomas Shaw is

he sure has it in
for Berlin Station.

We're the first to be hit twice,
and today we lost an agent.

But please,
let's not react from the gut.

First order of business
is to comb our assets.

Is that clear?
-Yes, sir.

I know we're all worried
about ourselves.

I understand -- human nature,
self-preservation.

We want to see if our dirty
laundry's gonna be hung out.

I get it.
I have one request.

If you're holding on
to something

that could damage you and
by extension, this station,

come to me with it first,

so we can get ahead
of this thing together.

I can't pretend that
I can save your job,

but I can promise you that
I will stand with you

because your honesty now
could save the rest of us.

Back to it then.

Woman: We here
at theBerliner Zeitung

applaud Thomas Shaw
for his bravery.

It takes great courage...[ Door opens ]

...to go up against the might

of the Central Intelligence
Agency

and criticize its methods.[ Door closes ]

But enough is enough.

Hi.

We are proud
to stand with Shaw

as he crusades for truth.

Oh, could you please turn
that fucking thing off?

Look, I'm not gonna insult you
by sugarcoating this.

With Colander blown,
it's just a matter of time

before he gives your name to the
Germans if he hasn't already.

I'm aware, Valerie.
Tell me about Budapest.

It's no longer an option.

Agota's waited years.

Her whole family's there.

This was our deal.

I know.

But if you go to Budapest,

Agota and the boys,
not just you,
