off-base,

Major Diego Morales.

He caught a bullet,

all the time in Afghanistan,

different war.

Are we treating this
as terrorism?

- Until the facts
prove otherwise.

With everything going on
in Georgia right now,

it feels like a targeted hit
on U.S. forces.

- To what end, General?
- Destabilization.

Georgia is caught in
a political tug of war

between Russia and the West.

Abasi tried to tip the balance
towards Moscow.

is for this to spiral

into an international crisis.

Georgia is one of your
country's key allies

Stairwell is clear.

Hey, man.

Ambassador.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome, sir.

- This way. Follow me.

- Mr. Ambassador.

- All right,
so where's our guy?

- Purple tie,
back of the safe room.

Levan Kipiani,
you're under arrest

for treason and conspiracy
to commit terrorism.

- What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.

- Shut up.
- I didn't do anything!

- Hey, nice shot
back there, sir.

- Once a soldier,
always a soldier.

- Give me a second.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Natia.
How you holding up?

- Good.

Counting my blessings.
- Yeah.

So, look, I just, uh...

I wanted you to know that

I waited as long as I could
to close that door.

[soft music]

I had the others' well-being
to consider as well.

I had to make a call,
so I made it.

I hope you understand.

And I apologize.

I'm really sorry...

for any added trauma
that may have caused you.

- Well, I appreciate
you saying that.

And I'm sure it wasn't
easy for you either.

We're good.

- How'd that go?

- It went.

- Ty, I have always
admired your ability

to bypass hurdles
when it comes to

having difficult conversations.

I mean it.

- You take things head on--
the sooner, the better.

That way,
you get on with your life.

- I always tell people,
working international

is the best gig in the bureau.

But you know,
when something feels good,

it's easy to get comfortable.

I guess I kind of

lost sight of what I was after
in the first place.

- Yeah, same.

You know, being on this team,
it feels like home.

HQ isn't breathing
down our necks.

We're away from the politics.

We get to work with people
from all over the world.

But, yeah,
I guess at some point,

you've gotta face it

and keep climbing the ladder.

- So we're going for GS-14?

- We're going for it.
- All right.

Well, I'll tell you
like my boxing coach

tells me before we spar.
- Hmm.

- Friends afterwards.

- Come on, give me a break.

- [chuckles]
- You're hugging me.

- All right.

- Just so you know, GS-14
isn't always sugar and spice.

- What do you mean?

- Well, we're here at a pub,
having a beer,

and I bet you right now,
Wes is stuck doing paperwork.

Sure you still wanna apply?

[phone buzzing]

- Hey, Amanda.

- I have a Dean Bartlett
on the line.

Want me to patch him through?

- Sure.

- You're on with Wes.

- Hello?

- Hey, Dean.

It's been a while.

- I--wow.

Hearing your voice again,
it doesn't seem real.

- Yeah. Same here.

- I don't know if you heard,
but my sentence got commuted.

- I heard.

- Sorry, I had this
whole speech planned, but--

- Dean.

What is it? Money?

What do you need?

- To see you,

for you to hear me out, to...

let me explain myself,
to let me apologize.

Not through a text
or a video call

or a phone, in person.

Man to man.

[pensive music]

Father to son.

- [sighs deeply]

No deal.

You take care of yourself,
Dean.
