00:07:05,153 --> 00:07:07,084
So, the staff meeting has been pushed
181
00:07:07,085 --> 00:07:09,502
until after she's done with Spain.
182
00:07:09,503 --> 00:07:12,190
Let me know if this looks okay to you.
183
00:07:12,257 --> 00:07:14,659
And, uh, one question.
Does she like cinnamon?
184
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:16,961
Because Senator Wentworth
had this massive
185
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:18,663
cinnamon aversion and I almost got her
186
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:19,897
a cinnamon roll this morning,
187
00:07:19,965 --> 00:07:21,455
but then I was like,
(WHISPERS): "What if?"
188
00:07:21,467 --> 00:07:24,569
Sure, any bakery item will
be right on the money.
189
00:07:24,636 --> 00:07:26,671
Cool beans. (CHUCKLES)
190
00:07:28,807 --> 00:07:30,975
- (CLEARS THROAT) This looks great.
- Oh, great.
191
00:07:31,043 --> 00:07:33,144
Do you need my help
with anything else?
192
00:07:33,212 --> 00:07:34,645
Nope, I'm good so far.
193
00:07:34,713 --> 00:07:36,814
But I'll know where to find you.
194
00:07:36,882 --> 00:07:39,550
Yes, uh, well, I guess
I should get settled in
195
00:07:39,618 --> 00:07:41,118
and get things organized.
196
00:07:41,186 --> 00:07:42,520
It's the very soul of success.
197
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:43,955
Uh-huh.
198
00:07:46,809 --> 00:07:49,026
ELIZABETH: You're saying that Spain is
199
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,424
perfectly comfortable derailing
200
00:07:51,425 --> 00:07:55,270
an historic NATO expansion
because of some online chatter
201
00:07:55,271 --> 00:07:58,102
about the Catalonian
independence movement?
202
00:07:58,170 --> 00:08:00,393
A movement that hasn't achieved
its aim in over 80 years.
203
00:08:00,405 --> 00:08:02,530
The referendum vote on independence
204
00:08:02,531 --> 00:08:05,743
- passed by 90% only a few years ago.
- With a turnout
205
00:08:05,811 --> 00:08:08,145
of 43% and your constitutional accord
206
00:08:08,213 --> 00:08:11,249
- discredited the vote anyway.
- And we are still restabilizing.
207
00:08:11,316 --> 00:08:13,569
- Come on.
- You have to understand, this was all
208
00:08:13,570 --> 00:08:16,387
very recent and very real.
209
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:19,290
Do you know what else
was recent and real?
210
00:08:19,358 --> 00:08:22,302
Serbia's attempt to banish or kill
211
00:08:22,303 --> 00:08:25,630
its entire ethnic Albanian
population in the late '90s.
212
00:08:25,697 --> 00:08:28,266
And yet, Kosovo is willing
213
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:30,801
to set that aside
and cooperate with Serbia
214
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:32,136
for the sake of this deal.
215
00:08:32,204 --> 00:08:35,573
Here's the part that I don't get.
216
00:08:35,641 --> 00:08:38,643
Two weeks ago, we had
a pledge from your staff
217
00:08:38,710 --> 00:08:42,280
that your country was fully on board.
218
00:08:42,347 --> 00:08:44,635
Wouldn't have called
a summit otherwise.
219
00:08:44,648 --> 00:08:47,084
And then, this showed up.
220
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,332
Threats of violence.
221
00:08:52,333 --> 00:08:53,800
Mass protest.
222
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:56,669
The assassination of
key cabinet members.
223
00:08:56,737 --> 00:08:58,204
It's very alarming.
224
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:03,877
If recognizing Kosovo
causes unrest in Spain,
225
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:05,378
it's your right,
226
00:09:05,446 --> 00:09:08,748
as a NATO member,
to engage all of our help.
227
00:09:08,816 --> 00:09:12,352
But it is also your duty,
as a NATO member,
228
00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:15,438
to keep the world stable and safe.
229
00:09:15,439 --> 00:09:18,150
That's what this deal does.
230
00:09:18,893 --> 00:09:21,877
Spain is really willing
to be the sole voice
231
00:09:21,878 --> 00:09:22,996
jeopardizing that?
232
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,999

234
00:09:28,269 --> 00:09:30,203
Nothing like a visit
to the principal's office.

00:09:30,271 --> 00:09:32,305
Yeah, well, let's get
everybody back to the table,

see if it accomplished anything,

and get the DNI to try
and source those Web postings.
238
00:09:36,443 --> 00:09:37,955
Thinking Russia?
239
00:09:37,956 --> 00:09:40,928
Well, they're not the only country
240
00:09:40,929 --> 00:09:42,649
that might want to tank this deal.
241
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:44,284
Sorry, ma'am, news just broke.
242
00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,085
Just once could that be a cat video?
243
00:09:46,153 --> 00:09:48,321
A mass grave was uncovered
at a construction site
244
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:49,556
in Northern Kosovo.
245
00:09:49,623 --> 00:09:51,791
Kosovo is saying it's
Albanians massacred
246
00:09:51,859 --> 00:09:53,393
by Serbian military in the war.
247
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:55,128
Serbia is denying any responsibility.
248
00:09:55,196 --> 00:09:57,964
- We better get ahead of this.
- Get me everything you can on that.
249
00:09:58,032 --> 00:09:59,165
- Okay.
- Ma'am, so sorry,
250
00:09:59,233 --> 00:10:00,856
Kosovo sends word
they can't make it today.
251
00:10:00,868 --> 00:10:02,691
The delegates are on their way
to the airport now.
252
00:10:02,703 --> 00:10:04,359
- So much for getting ahead of this.
- No, you do everything
253
00:10:04,371 --> 00:10:06,094
- you can to stall them.
- Whoever's trying to sink this
254

is not getting their Christmas wish.

didn't kick in, I took a second.

No, um, I'm just trying
to understand the idea here.
328
00:14:01,254 --> 00:14:04,022
I think she organized
the tea by color.
329
00:14:04,090 --> 00:14:05,591
Makes sense.
330
00:14:05,658 --> 00:14:08,627
Does it? I mean, if I'm
looking for Earl Grey,
331
00:14:08,695 --> 00:14:12,664
do I intuitively think, oh, it
must be between ginger and mint,
332
00:14:12,732 --> 00:14:15,667
because those teas also
randomly come in green boxes?
333
00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:18,437
You might want to go
for the chamomile.
334
00:14:18,505 --> 00:14:22,040
I left explicit instructions
for extremely basic systems
335
00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:23,542
that worked perfectly,
336
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:26,879
and she's thrown it out
for this chaotic nonsense.
337
00:14:26,946 --> 00:14:28,614
She's got her own way of doing things.
338
00:14:28,681 --> 00:14:31,283
M-Sec likes her, and she was a
rock star for Senator Wentworth.
339
00:14:31,351 --> 00:14:33,152
Eh, she says "cool beans."
340
00:14:33,219 --> 00:14:34,953
Cool beans. That's what my mother says
341
00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:36,744
when she's had a highball
and is feeling cute.
342

- You're looking for the green tea?
- Yes.
354
00:14:59,779 --> 00:15:04,082
Yeah. They are over here,
with the red boxes.
355
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:06,034
(SCOFFS) Makes sense.
356
00:15:06,035 --> 00:15:08,754
Anyway, Kat will get
you all the details,
357
00:15:08,822 --> 00:15:12,925
Basically, we just need
you to meet with GHD,
358
00:15:12,992 --> 00:15:14,693
go over what they've been doing
359
00:15:14,761 --> 00:15:18,730
and then make a recommendation
on funding for the next year.
360
00:15:18,798 --> 00:15:19,898
I'm on it.
361
00:15:19,966 --> 00:15:21,867
I have your new remarks
for the NATO deal.
362
00:15:21,935 --> 00:15:23,735
How's that looking?
363
00:15:23,803 --> 00:15:26,839
Uh, yeah, well, we're getting,
we're getting back on track.
364
00:15:26,906 --> 00:15:28,430
You know? (LAUGHS)
365
00:15:28,431 --> 00:15:31,944
Nina managed to catch everyone
before they got on planes.
366
00:15:32,011 --> 00:15:33,445
How about the new girl, huh?
367
00:15:33,513 --> 00:15:35,603
- Well, she's a terrific addition.
- Absolutely fantastic.
368
00:15:35,615 --> 00:15:38,450
- Off to a really good start. I mean,
I'm here to tell you... - Yeah.
369
00:15:38,518 --> 00:15:41,320
Mm.
370
00:15:41,387 --> 00:15:43,589
Never would have let
her get her own tea.
371
00:15:43,656 --> 00:15:46,024
I know.
372
00:15:47,126 --> 00:15:48,493
JAY: Ma'am.
373
00:15:48,561 --> 00:15:50,863
- We did it, right? Got everybody back?
- Tentatively.
374
00:15:50,864 --> 00:15:52,153
- Good.
- But there's a new curveball.
375
00:15:52,165 --> 00:15:54,967
NATO can't find any confirmation
of a mass grave in Kosovo.
376
00:15:55,034 --> 00:15:56,301
What does that mean?
377
00:15:56,369 --> 00:15:58,937
They think it was a false rumor
started on social media.
378
00:15:59,005 --> 00:16:02,040
Wait a minute. That's good, right?
379
00:16:02,108 --> 00:16:04,176
- If there's no grave...
- It's... You'd think,
380
00:16:04,244 --> 00:16:06,231
except the Serbian delegate
just accused Kosovo
381
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:07,512
of planting the rumor.
382
00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:09,081
Is there any evidence?
383
00:16:09,148 --> 00:16:11,149
Uh, DNI's into it,
but that would be insane.
384
00:16:11,217 --> 00:16:13,407
Attacking Serbia just blows up
the deal for both of them.
385
00:16:13,419 --> 00:16:15,220
I... Nina?
386
00:16:15,288 --> 00:16:16,688
Okay, h-here's what,
387
00:16:16,756 --> 00:16:19,157
here's what we do.
Y-You and I will meet
388
00:16:19,225 --> 00:16:22,561
with Kosovo and Serbia
separately first.
389
00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:25,464
I mean, there has to be a way
that we can calm them down
390
00:16:25,531 --> 00:16:28,033
- about something that didn't happen.
- Didn't happen.
391
00:16:28,101 --> 00:16:29,701
Right.
392
00:16:29,769 --> 00:16:31,470
Get my car, will you?
393
00:16:31,537 --> 00:16:33,038
All right, here. You can have it.
394
00:16:33,106 --> 00:16:34,673
- Sure.
- Green tea for you, no honey.
395
00:16:34,741 --> 00:16:37,676
Oh. Thank you.

00:16:39,078 --> 00:16:41,546
we don't know yet who created
398
00:16:41,614 --> 00:16:45,017
- (WHISPERING TRANSLATION)

399
00:16:45,084 --> 00:16:46,652
in your country.
400
00:16:46,719 --> 00:16:50,055
But whoever did so
had one goal in mind:
401
00:16:50,123 --> 00:16:54,092
to stir up these painful memories
402
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,264
so Kosovo would pull out of
the opportunity of join NATO.
403
00:16:59,332 --> 00:17:02,367
We can't let them succeed.

We're deeply appreciative of the faith
407
00:17:10,476 --> 00:17:12,644
you have shown in Kosovo
with this offer.
408
00:17:12,712 --> 00:17:14,746
But at this time,
409
00:17:14,814 --> 00:17:18,152
we cannot share
this opportunity with Serbia.
410
00:17:18,860 --> 00:17:21,384
He is saying we cannot
join NATO with Serbia now,
411
00:17:21,385 --> 00:17:23,144
- but you can reason with him.
- Wait a minute.
412
00:17:23,156 --> 00:17:28,160
Remind him that Kosovo was
willing to join Serbia
413
00:17:28,227 --> 00:17:30,495
- only one day ago.
- (TRANSLATING)
414
00:17:34,968 --> 00:17:37,569
I'm sorry.
415
00:17:43,242 --> 00:17:45,177
The men in my country are proud.
416
00:17:45,244 --> 00:17:47,112
I understand that.
417
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:49,681
Give them time.
418
00:17:51,117 --> 00:17:54,119
This moment may not happen again.
419
00:17:54,187 --> 00:17:58,390
Serbia has never acknowledged
so many atrocities of the war.
420
00:17:58,458 --> 00:18:02,561
If you could get a statement
from them, some acknowledgement.
421
00:18:02,628 --> 00:18:05,731
That's not gonna be easy.
422
00:18:05,798 --> 00:18:09,568
I think you are a woman
who does the not-easy things.
423
00:18:14,107 --> 00:18:16,074
Thank you.

- Aleksandar, I assure you that... I...

00:18:21,614 --> 00:18:23,335
You make all these promises.
427
00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:25,050
I convinced my foreign minister,
428
00:18:25,118 --> 00:18:26,385
my president, my prime minister
429
00:18:26,452 --> 00:18:27,719
to say yes to Kosovo.
430
00:18:27,787 --> 00:18:29,388
Serbia will be strong,
431
00:18:29,455 --> 00:18:31,990
- I told them. We will grow.
- All of that's still true.
432
00:18:32,058 --> 00:18:35,460
You have put my people before
a firing squad of our enemies.
433
00:18:35,528 --> 00:18:37,551
You asked us to trust them, and they
kill us like dogs in the street.

We don't know who created
the story about the grave,

00:18:39,665 --> 00:18:42,267

was there was no grave.

00:18:56,247 --> 00:18:58,650
Rumors are flying on a messaging
app in Northern Kosovo
440
00:18:58,718 --> 00:19:01,987
accusing Serbs who live there
of all kinds of crazy stuff.
441
00:19:02,055 --> 00:19:04,022
Uh, rape, murder, kidnapping.
442
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:05,857
Mobs are showing up at people's houses
443
00:19:05,925 --> 00:19:09,294
based on unsubstantiated rumors,
lies they're reading online.
444
00:19:09,362 --> 00:19:11,730
They shot this boy in the
head when he was accused

of stealing his Albanian
friend's bike.
446

My God.

00:19:15,001 --> 00:19:17,436
Pretty soon there will be retaliation,

00:19:17,503 --> 00:19:19,137
a-and then there's no stopping it.
449
00:19:21,274 --> 00:19:22,841
Forget NATO.

00:19:22,909 --> 00:19:25,010
We might have to stop another war.

JAY: Obviously, our number one issue
452
00:19:31,341 --> 00:19:33,616
is the escalating mob violence
in Northern Kosovo
453
00:19:33,617 --> 00:19:34,717
aimed at ethnic Serbs.

00:19:34,785 --> 00:19:36,485
How is anyone believing this stuff?
455
00:19:36,553 --> 00:19:39,839
Uh, one guy was accused of
burying kids in his basement.
456
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,341
He doesn't even have a basement.

Supreme Allied Commander

00:19:49,616 --> 00:19:52,251
asking him to deploy extra troops.

We are not going to sit this one out

00:20:07,601 --> 00:20:11,004
Occam's razor to the foreign
minister of Russia.
470
00:20:11,071 --> 00:20:15,675
They are not the only country
using hate speech and fake news,
471
00:20:15,743 --> 00:20:17,677
so we are going to need real proof.
472
00:20:17,745 --> 00:20:19,645
Okay, what we do know
is that the company
473
00:20:19,713 --> 00:20:21,614
behind Kosovo's social media platform
474
00:20:21,682 --> 00:20:24,921
is our old friend Kronic DM.
If you'll remember,
475
00:20:24,922 --> 00:20:26,652
we worked with Kronic
back when we were...

- Okay, fellas.

in Angola and Sri Lanka,

00:20:40,167 --> 00:20:43,069

Dr. McCord. I don't think
I've introduced myself yet.

I saw your request for
Gordon's medication records.

00:21:36,557 --> 00:21:39,826
I just wanted to reassure you
that I have no concerns
506
00:21:39,893 --> 00:21:41,794
about the Secretary's
health whatsoever.
507
00:21:41,862 --> 00:21:44,330
It's just a standard incident
report, but thank you.

I understand that you are
the new ethics advisor
509
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,601
and that you want to follow protocol,
510
00:21:48,669 --> 00:21:50,336
but, uh, sometimes a report,

00:22:26,573 --> 00:22:29,442
Nice meeting you. Take care, Henry.
526
00:22:33,881 --> 00:22:35,515
Mr. DeCosta, Blake Moran,
527
00:22:35,582 --> 00:22:36,682
nice to meet you.
528
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,518
Welcome to Global Health Diplomacy.
529
00:22:38,585 --> 00:22:41,129
You're the new P.A. on 7, right?
530
00:22:41,130 --> 00:22:43,356
Recently promoted, yes.
531
00:22:43,423 --> 00:22:46,959
Uh, so I've been through your
impeccably put together reports
532
00:22:47,027 --> 00:22:51,206
on the antimalarial initiative,
and I have to say...
533
00:22:51,207 --> 00:22:53,199
That is an excellent pocket square.
534
00:22:53,267 --> 00:22:56,035
Oh, thank you. I like yours, too.
535
00:22:56,103 --> 00:22:57,303
Also impressive?
536
00:22:57,371 --> 00:22:59,205
Global Health Diplomacy's
stellar results
537
00:22:59,273 --> 00:23:01,574
in reducing the spread
of malaria this year.
538
00:23:01,642 --> 00:23:04,510
The insecticide-treated nets
were a real breakthrough.
539
00:23:04,578 --> 00:23:07,046
Yes. Well, uh, I see
no reason not to recommend
540
00:23:07,114 --> 00:23:11,384
your continued funding,
so if you would just
541
00:23:11,451 --> 00:23:14,253
sign here saying that we had
this review session...
542
00:23:14,321 --> 00:23:17,456
- You got it.
- All right.
543
00:23:17,524 --> 00:23:21,027
- Don't forget the stamp.
- Oh.
544
00:23:21,094 --> 00:23:23,930
Great, thank you.
545
00:23:23,997 --> 00:23:25,097
Here you are.
546
00:23:25,165 --> 00:23:28,301
Here you are.
One funding recommendation
547
00:23:28,368 --> 00:23:31,204
for the Office of Global Health
Diplomacy's highly effective

00:23:31,271 --> 00:23:32,672
anti-malaria initiative.
549
00:23:32,739 --> 00:23:35,608
Ah, cool beans. Oh, hang on.
550
00:23:35,676 --> 00:23:37,009
This just came in this morning.
551
00:23:37,077 --> 00:23:39,145
The Bureau of Oceans
and International Environmental
552
00:23:39,213 --> 00:23:41,414
and Scientific Affairs
filed an objection
553
00:23:41,481 --> 00:23:44,116
to the anti-malaria initiative.
554
00:23:44,184 --> 00:23:45,674
So, we're going to need their approval
555
00:23:45,686 --> 00:23:47,720
before we file the recommendation.
556
00:23:47,788 --> 00:23:50,086
- Really?
- Yeah.
557
00:23:50,824 --> 00:23:53,526
Don't forget to get a stamp.
558
00:23:54,962 --> 00:23:56,329
TOM: Yeah, no,
559
00:23:56,396 --> 00:23:58,364
OES has a big problem
with this initiative.
560
00:23:58,432 --> 00:23:59,565
Yeah, that much I got.
561
00:23:59,633 --> 00:24:01,434
Yeah. See, when we were
asked to contribute
562
00:24:01,501 --> 00:24:03,236
one-third of Global Health Diplomacy's
563
00:24:03,303 --> 00:24:05,004
operating budget for this initiative,
564
00:24:05,072 --> 00:24:07,192
we didn't realize their
main strategy was to basically
565
00:24:07,207 --> 00:24:11,310
blanket the entire equatorial
region in poisoned nets.
566
00:24:11,378 --> 00:24:13,312
The insecticide-treated sleeping nets
567
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:14,836
that cut malaria death rates in half?
568
00:24:14,848 --> 00:24:15,982
Those nets?
569
00:24:16,049 --> 00:24:17,672
No one's disputing
they do an effective job
570
00:24:17,684 --> 00:24:18,951
of killing mosquitoes,
571
00:24:19,019 --> 00:24:21,187
but they're also great
at killing fish.
572
00:24:21,255 --> 00:24:24,690
So you've got people
all over sub-Saharan Africa
573
00:24:24,758 --> 00:24:27,293
polluting the waters
with carcinogenic chemicals
574
00:24:27,361 --> 00:24:29,795
and basically gutting the fish supply.
575
00:24:29,863 --> 00:24:32,428
Which means, instead of malaria,
we're now heading for famine.
576
00:24:32,429 --> 00:24:34,333
Okay, before we go
to worst-case scenarios...
577
00:24:34,401 --> 00:24:36,475
Not worst-case scenario, Blake.
578
00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,111
This is happening now. Look.
579
00:24:39,179 --> 00:24:42,815
This... ah, this is
the last five years
580
00:24:42,882 --> 00:24:46,451
of fishing stocks in Lakes Victoria,
581
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:51,223
Tanganyika, and Malawi.
582
00:24:51,291 --> 00:24:54,259
(EXHALES) All right.
583
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:56,695
There's got to be a solution.
584
00:24:56,763 --> 00:24:59,598
Maybe... maybe distribute
untreated nets?
585
00:24:59,666 --> 00:25:02,000
Um... in a different color.
586
00:25:02,068 --> 00:25:05,204
And then educate the population
which ones are safe for fishing.
587
00:25:05,271 --> 00:25:07,673
Okay, twice the nets,
588
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:10,299
plus education materials, plus staff.
589
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,544
Is that coming out of OES' budget?
590
00:25:12,612 --> 00:25:14,546
I don't think so.

00:30:47,588 --> 00:30:50,043
If nothing had been posted
about this boy, Konstantin,
702
00:30:50,044 --> 00:30:52,058
he'd be asleep
in his own bed right now,
703
00:30:52,126 --> 00:30:54,127
not in a morgue waiting to be buried.
704
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:58,165
I will look at your materials.
705
00:30:58,232 --> 00:31:02,402
But I would suggest:
look for someone else to blame
706
00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:06,006
every time a deal of yours
doesn't work out.
707
00:31:06,282 --> 00:31:07,889
_
708
00:31:14,496 --> 00:31:16,650
Whoa.
709
00:31:16,717 --> 00:31:18,952
Sorry. Just clearing my head.
710
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:21,154
Is it helping?
711
00:31:21,222 --> 00:31:22,656
- Not really.
- Huh.
712
00:31:22,723 --> 00:31:26,026
- Do you have a minute?
- Shoot.
713
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:28,762
Oceans and Environmental
and Scientific Affairs
714
00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:30,263
are refusing to share their budget
715
00:31:30,331 --> 00:31:33,033
with Global Health Diplomacy's
anti-malaria initiative
716
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:36,937
unless GHD comes up with some
alternative to the mosquito nets
717
00:31:37,004 --> 00:31:39,639
that OES says are
poisoning the environment.
718
00:31:39,707 --> 00:31:41,741
- Okay.
- Yeah... Reasonable, right?
719
00:31:41,809 --> 00:31:44,411
But when I took OES's
objection to GHD,
720
00:31:44,479 --> 00:31:46,680
they flatly refused
to alter their program,
721
00:31:46,747 --> 00:31:49,349
which, admittedly, is, uh,
you know, very effective.
722
00:31:49,417 --> 00:31:51,418
And you just want to get
your form stamped.
723
00:31:51,486 --> 00:31:53,126
No, I actually want to
get the two of them
724
00:31:53,154 --> 00:31:54,788
to work with each other on the thing
725
00:31:54,856 --> 00:31:56,145
that they're supposed to be doing...
726
00:31:56,157 --> 00:31:58,992
How is this condiment
drawer such a mess?
727
00:31:59,060 --> 00:32:00,994
She's been here two days.
728
00:32:01,062 --> 00:32:04,831
Sounds like your basic
territorial dispute.
729
00:32:04,899 --> 00:32:06,833
Everybody's thinking
with their lizard brain,
730
00:32:06,901 --> 00:32:09,536
so you're not gonna
get anywhere with logic.
731
00:32:09,604 --> 00:32:12,739
So what am I supposed to do?
732
00:32:12,807 --> 00:32:14,574
You got to think
733
00:32:14,642 --> 00:32:19,279
of OES and GHD like two bucks
roaring across the field
734
00:32:19,347 --> 00:32:20,747
at the beginning of mating season.
735
00:32:20,815 --> 00:32:22,382
Wait for them to lock horns
736
00:32:22,450 --> 00:32:24,985
until one of them
slinks away in defeat?
737
00:32:25,052 --> 00:32:27,821
- If you had time, which you don't.
- I don't.
738
00:32:27,889 --> 00:32:29,823
So...
739
00:32:29,891 --> 00:32:33,894
let's think about this on their level.
740
00:32:35,997 --> 00:32:37,697
W-What would make...
741
00:32:37,765 --> 00:32:42,102
what could... make you forget about
742
00:32:42,169 --> 00:32:44,704
reorganizing condiment drawers
743
00:32:44,772 --> 00:32:48,208
and just let Nina do her thing?
744
00:32:55,349 --> 00:32:58,051
Thanks for coming
to my turf, everybody.
745
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:00,987
Uh, just wanted to thank
both of your departments
746
00:33:01,055 --> 00:33:03,495
for the great work you've done
on the anti-malaria initiative.
747
00:33:03,524 --> 00:33:05,759
I know the Department of Defense will
748
00:33:05,826 --> 00:33:08,461
benefit greatly from the
groundwork you've already laid,
749
00:33:08,529 --> 00:33:10,897
- knowing that...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. DoD's taking over?
750
00:33:10,965 --> 00:33:12,632
Wha... Yeah, we didn't
hear any of this.
751
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:13,923
Oh, it just came down the pipeline.
752
00:33:13,935 --> 00:33:15,424
Uh, knowing how squeezed
your budgets are,
753
00:33:15,436 --> 00:33:17,511
I knew you'd be relieved to hear
that we're turning it over.
754
00:33:17,512 --> 00:33:18,579
Are you kidding?
755
00:33:18,646 --> 00:33:19,758
- That's not a relief.
- Not at all.
756
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:21,549
You don't let Defense
do the work of State, Blake.
757
00:33:21,561 --> 00:33:22,917
That's like... It's just like letting
758
00:33:22,929 --> 00:33:24,630
a cranky toddler land a plane.
759
00:33:24,698 --> 00:33:26,131
Or asking the fox, "Oh, hey,
760
00:33:26,199 --> 00:33:27,689
do you mind gathering
up the eggs for me?"
761
00:33:27,701 --> 00:33:29,835
You should have come to us.
What were you thinking?
762
00:33:29,903 --> 00:33:32,004
Well, gosh, I-I didn't realize
you'd react this way.
763
00:33:32,072 --> 00:33:34,707
I-I... I guess I'm still
learning the ropes.
764
00:33:34,774 --> 00:33:37,294
- Is it too late? Can we get it back?
- When was this confirmed?
765
00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:39,245
At this point, it's just
an exchange of e-mails.
766
00:33:39,312 --> 00:33:41,736
- Oh, you can unravel that.
- Just tell them you made a mistake.
767
00:33:41,748 --> 00:33:44,917
Well, there's-there's still the
matter of your budget dispute,
768
00:33:44,985 --> 00:33:46,418
so I don't, you know...
769
00:33:46,486 --> 00:33:48,142
Please. All I need to do is
reach out to the chem company,
770
00:33:48,154 --> 00:33:49,488
ask for some untreated nets.
771
00:33:49,556 --> 00:33:51,446
Get them in a different color,
maybe. That was Blake's idea.
772
00:33:51,458 --> 00:33:52,558
I love that idea.
773
00:33:52,626 --> 00:33:55,561
Maybe we share the public
education line item?
774
00:33:55,629 --> 00:33:58,030
We can look into that.
775
00:34:00,867 --> 00:34:05,283
Here you are. One antimalarial
funding recommendation,
776
00:34:05,284 --> 00:34:06,639
two stamps.
777
00:34:06,706 --> 00:34:09,475
Hey, you wrangled it. Nice work.
778
00:34:09,542 --> 00:34:11,644
You might even say "cool beans."
779
00:34:11,711 --> 00:34:15,114
- (LAUGHS)
- (PHONE RINGING)
780
00:34:15,181 --> 00:34:18,017
Secretary McCord's office. Uh-huh.
781
00:34:18,084 --> 00:34:19,685
(QUIETLY): Okay.
782
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:23,856
Yeah, I mentioned that Ali had
a cough that wouldn't go away
783
00:34:23,924 --> 00:34:27,693
and Dr. Reese
offered some antibiotics.
784
00:34:27,761 --> 00:34:30,362
He was implying he has
something to hold over me.
785
00:34:30,430 --> 00:34:34,733
To do what, expose
our overuse of antibiotics?
786
00:34:34,801 --> 00:34:37,536
To say we bent the rules
on dispensing medication
787
00:34:37,604 --> 00:34:38,871
without a prescription, too,
788
00:34:38,939 --> 00:34:40,495
in case I try to blow
the whistle on him.
789
00:34:40,507 --> 00:34:43,342
I wouldn't be surprised if he
ambushes me at this meeting
790
00:34:43,410 --> 00:34:45,600
- with Russell tomorrow.
- I can't take another turf war.
791
00:34:45,612 --> 00:34:47,502
- I just can't.
- Come on. Let's get you something to eat.
792
00:34:47,514 --> 00:34:49,415
- I'm not hungry.
- Ali made pesto.
793
00:34:49,482 --> 00:34:52,985
Maybe a little.
794
00:34:53,053 --> 00:34:58,490
Avdonin said this thing that
I can't stop thinking about.
795
00:34:58,558 --> 00:35:02,294
Even if Russia was... I don't know,
796
00:35:02,362 --> 00:35:03,963
if they created the fake news...
797
00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:07,533
which they still won't admit to...
798
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,736
he says they can't be held responsible
799
00:35:10,804 --> 00:35:12,738
for the violence caused by it
800
00:35:12,806 --> 00:35:17,443
because it's the hate that gave
it fuel in the first place.
801
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:20,612
Classic deflection of culpability.
802
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,248
Yeah, but it got me thinking:
803
00:35:23,316 --> 00:35:27,219
has there ever been
a sectarian conflict
804
00:35:27,287 --> 00:35:28,754
that was resolved peacefully?
805
00:35:28,822 --> 00:35:30,756
In all of human history?
806
00:35:30,824 --> 00:35:33,092
Well, England and France tried
to obliterate each other
807
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:34,426
for a hundred years.
808
00:35:34,494 --> 00:35:37,262
And now London bankers
retire peacefully
809
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:38,653
- to Provence...
- Honey, I don't have
810
00:35:38,665 --> 00:35:40,355
- a hundred years.
- ...no one thinks anything about it.
811
00:35:40,367 --> 00:35:41,823
If you're talking
about Serbia and Kosovo,
812
00:35:41,835 --> 00:35:43,836
they've been going at it
since the Ottoman Empire.
813
00:35:43,903 --> 00:35:47,840
And now it's about to flare up
into a whole new conflict
814
00:35:47,907 --> 00:35:50,709
over this Russian fake news.
815
00:35:50,777 --> 00:35:52,911
There's always the other way.
816
00:35:52,979 --> 00:35:54,502
The Incas were about
to destroy themselves
817
00:35:54,514 --> 00:35:56,115
in a civil war between two brothers.
818
00:35:56,182 --> 00:35:57,783
What stopped them?
819
00:35:57,851 --> 00:36:00,019
Spain.
820
00:36:00,086 --> 00:36:02,021
(MICROWAVE BEEPING)
821
00:36:12,093 --> 00:36:14,895
Oh, hey, Gordon, Adele.
822
00:36:14,963 --> 00:36:16,229
Good morning.
823
00:36:20,401 --> 00:36:22,669
He's just finishing up.
824
00:36:28,743 --> 00:36:31,945
All yours.
825
00:36:32,013 --> 00:36:34,281
Gentlemen.
826
00:36:34,349 --> 00:36:36,750
RUSSELL: Based on my review
of the incident
827
00:36:36,818 --> 00:36:39,884
and the circumstances
leading up to it,
828
00:36:39,885 --> 00:36:44,057
I'll be asking Dr. Reese to
tender his resignation today.
829
00:36:44,125 --> 00:36:48,899
Russell, I-I object
in the strongest terms possible.
830
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:51,098
I-I've worked
with Dan Reese for decades.
831
00:36:51,165 --> 00:36:52,599
He's a man of honor and integrity.
832
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:57,504
And as I made clear to Henry,
this was my responsibility.
833
00:36:57,572 --> 00:36:59,194
Thank you.
834
00:36:59,195 --> 00:37:02,409
Henry, do you want
to revise any of the facts
835
00:37:02,477 --> 00:37:04,411
in your report?
836
00:37:06,547 --> 00:37:08,194
No, but I-I...
837
00:37:08,195 --> 00:37:10,036
All right, well, then,
this matter's concluded.
838
00:37:10,051 --> 00:37:11,247
Thanks for your input, Gordon.
839
00:37:11,248 --> 00:37:13,320
Henry, if you could
stay behind a moment?
840
00:37:22,563 --> 00:37:25,499
I find it best
to include the opposition
841
00:37:25,566 --> 00:37:28,135
when there's gonna be a blast radius.
842
00:37:28,202 --> 00:37:29,803
I never meant to hang Reese.
843
00:37:29,871 --> 00:37:32,806
He wasn't following protocol on
dispensing medication to Gordon
844
00:37:32,874 --> 00:37:35,242
and you and who knows who else,
845
00:37:35,309 --> 00:37:37,299
and he's playing fast and loose
with the paperwork.
846
00:37:37,311 --> 00:37:39,646
End of story.
847
00:37:41,516 --> 00:37:43,283
What?
848
00:37:43,351 --> 00:37:44,951
I-I... (SIGHS)
849
00:37:45,019 --> 00:37:48,855
I'm just a little concerned
about developing a reputation
850
00:37:48,923 --> 00:37:51,858
as the guy who blows the whistle
and gets people axed.
851
00:37:51,926 --> 00:37:54,494
Well, there's only
one team around here.
852
00:37:54,562 --> 00:37:57,197
And now everyone knows you're on it.
853
00:37:57,265 --> 00:37:59,199
And they better be, too.
854
00:38:04,739 --> 00:38:06,540
- Thank you, Nina.
- Welcome.
855
00:38:06,541 --> 00:38:08,341
Welcome to our delegates from Serbia.
856
00:38:08,409 --> 00:38:11,511
Please enjoy one last
continental breakfast.
857
00:38:19,287 --> 00:38:22,222
Again, thank you both for coming.
858
00:38:22,290 --> 00:38:25,559
You have our presentation
in both Albanian and Serbian,
859
00:38:25,626 --> 00:38:30,297
so I'm just going to freestyle it.
860
00:38:30,364 --> 00:38:33,767
My husband Henry is a scholar
and a history buff,
861
00:38:33,835 --> 00:38:37,104
and when I asked him
for examples of conflict
862
00:38:37,171 --> 00:38:42,642
over land and ideology that were
resolved without violence,
863
00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:45,745
he couldn't really come up with much.
864
00:38:45,813 --> 00:38:48,348
The general model seems to be
to fight it out
865
00:38:48,416 --> 00:38:52,028
until one side is either exhausted
866
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:54,093
or annihilated by the other.
867
00:38:54,094 --> 00:38:57,146
The only thing that really seems
to shift this dynamic
868
00:38:57,147 --> 00:39:00,215
is the threat of a common enemy.
869
00:39:00,283 --> 00:39:03,018
To that end,
870
00:39:03,086 --> 00:39:06,183
this presentation will lay out for you
871
00:39:06,184 --> 00:39:08,738
a highly organized campaign
872
00:39:08,739 --> 00:39:10,945
of disinformation waged against
873
00:39:10,946 --> 00:39:13,481

by the highest levels
of Russian government.
875
00:39:16,218 --> 00:39:20,488
It was targeted, researched
876
00:39:20,556 --> 00:39:24,926
and, as we now know,
all too effective.
877
00:39:28,797 --> 00:39:29,797
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
878
00:39:29,865 --> 00:39:30,865
My pleasure...
879
00:39:32,935 --> 00:39:34,502
Good work in there, everyone.
880
00:39:34,570 --> 00:39:38,506
So, you think there's any hope
of reviving the NATO deal?
881
00:39:38,574 --> 00:39:41,912
As much as it always
kills me to say it,
882
00:39:41,913 --> 00:39:43,377
Russell Jackson might be right.
883
00:39:43,445 --> 00:39:44,879
I might have reached too far.
884
00:39:44,947 --> 00:39:46,514
We'll circle back to it.
885
00:39:46,582 --> 00:39:48,850
- Yeah...
- That whole strategy of uniting two
886
00:39:48,917 --> 00:39:51,686
factions against a common
enemy actually works.
887
00:39:51,754 --> 00:39:53,988
So I hear.
888
00:39:54,056 --> 00:39:55,757
Yeah, I heard you did some good work
889
00:39:55,824 --> 00:39:56,947
on that anti-malaria program.
890
00:39:56,959 --> 00:39:59,794
Well, I mean, I tried.
891
00:39:59,862 --> 00:40:02,185
Unfortunately, the funding's
not gonna be renewed next year.
892
00:40:02,197 --> 00:40:04,866
What? Yeah, some tech billionaire NGO
893
00:40:04,933 --> 00:40:07,057
offered to take control of
the whole mosquito nets thing.
894
00:40:07,069 --> 00:40:08,892
They got tons of money, they'll
do a better job, anyway.
895
00:40:08,904 --> 00:40:10,560
Wait, I actually got them
to work together, though.
896
00:40:10,572 --> 00:40:12,673
I mean, they have-they have
really good ideas.
897
00:40:12,741 --> 00:40:14,297
Well, they'll pass them
on to the tech guys.
898
00:40:14,309 --> 00:40:16,277
So I did all that for nothing?
