All language subtitles for LIONESS.S03E01.THE.SPIDER.AND.THE.FLY

All right, everybody hold on.

A congresswoman was kidnapped
on American soil...

- Congresswoman Hernandez?
- Yeah.

Her family killed at the behest

of the Chinese
Ministry of State.

We'd like to get a Lioness
on the ground.

Do it.

What do you know
about the Lioness program?

- Are you a Lioness?
- I run it.

I don't know
if I can trust this girl.

But I know that I can trust you.

What's your mission now?

To protect the mission.
From everything. Including you.

We could choose not to fight.
But choosing not to fight

is how warehouses fill up
with children.

I took one in the field.

I'm hunting how to make peace
with walking away for you.

For them. For me.

Well, I hope you find it.

Your father's the mission now.

- Why?
- Because this is

how he survives.

- They know.
- Who's "they"?

CIA

Special Activities.

The mission is to show Iran

and China that we aren't the
only nation with an open border.

Do not get yourself caught.

Everyone's watching on this one.

Am I a part of this?

You're the part.

We're gonna find out
how well you fly.

Two minutes to target.

I wasn't sure
you were coming home.

I wasn't sure I still had one
to come home to.

You always have
one to come home to.

Look who's home!

Mom? Is that you?

- Mom?
- It's me, baby. Oh.

The French government has said

it is considering all options,

including declaring
a state of emergency

after a third night

of escalating
violence and rioting...

Let's start
with the Middle East.

The Times is reporting
that Hamas

has denied reports that it has

ignored requests from
the international community

concerning the crisis in Gaza...

A devastating
scene, meanwhile, in Oaksville.

Several people dead
and even more missing

from an explosion
at an explosives plant...

Dozens of fighters
were killed in overnight

border clashes between
Pakistan and Afghanistan

in the most serious
fighting between...

Ukraine's president said Russia

targeted the country

with 450 drones and 30 missiles

in a countrywide attack
targeting the...

Well, Max,
we've been on lockdown

here in these capitol buildings

for almost four hours now.

ATF, TBI, Homeland Security,

and several other agencies
are currently...

The attorney
general's office in Brazil

has filed an indictment

- against 39 people...
- The Middle East is

the fulcrum of it all,
we know this. But the thing

could spread like wildfire.

Israel remains in Gaza

and still rejects
a two-state solution,

so is this the dawn
of a new Middle East?

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Oh, good God, it's freezing.

- It helps with inflammation.
- Yeah,

so does Advil, honey.

I don't want a pill to do it.

I want my body to do it.

Well, I can think of a few
things I want your body to do.

That window closed
about an hour ago.

- There was a window?
- Yeah, and you missed it.

No.

I thought you finished
your homework last night.

Dad, what's the capital
of Maine?

Uh, capital, uh... Honey,
what's the capital of Maine?

Uh, Augusta.

Mm. That's Georgia.

No, the capital of Georgia's
Atlanta, honey.

She's right.
It's Augusta, Daddy.

Really? Hmm. Never heard of it.

- What about Vermont?
- Vermont, that is Burlington.

Montpelier.

- It's weird that you know that.
- How come

- you don't know it, Dad?
- Okay, wise guys,

who can name the key nerves
of the thoracic wall?

That's easy.
It's the intercostal nerve...

You're disqualified.

Why am I disqualified?

You're-you're disqualified.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
Here's a question. Ready?

X cubed, minus 6X squared,

plus 11X, minus six equals zero.

- What?
- I didn't hear a question.

Okay, question.

What are the variables
that make the equation zero?

No, never in your life will that
have a practical application.

I'm pulling you
from that school.

Oh, my God. It's so easy.

- Easy? You're grounded.
- Grounded? Really? Why?

I don't know yet.
Are you back for dinner?

I should be.

Could get used to
this nine-to-five thing.

Don't.

See you ladies tonight.

Ah, no love for Dad?

I'm saving all my love
for you, Daddy.

- Ew!
- All right. Gross.

- Gross.
- Okay.

- Fine, fine, fine.
- Oh, okay. All right, all right.

- Bye, Mom, love you.
- Bye, Mom.

All right, all right.
Finish up. We got to go.

Anything interesting?

I never thought the headline
"End of Democracy"

would ring so hollow.

Can only cry "wolf"
so many times.

Seems so shortsighted.

An entire industry
rendering itself irrelevant.

Not if you think

about how they were trained
and who trained them.

- Just follow the money.
- Yeah.

Qatar alone has donated
over $11 billion dollars

to U.S. universities.

China has donated
$2.3 billion since 2012,

with $12 billion in tuition paid

for Chinese nationals
at our universities.

And you're surprised that
graduates of those schools are

espousing communist agendas

and declaring
democracy is dying?

That's what
they were trained to say.

Doesn't scare you even a little?

Fool's gold, honey.

You want to scare me,
start talking about AI.

That's the real end
of democracy.

Oh.

Hey, you on your way in?

I'll be there in 30. You?

Across town, security brief.

Am I needed?

No, not yet.

We're pretty close over here.

Well, you know the deal.

A lot of red tape

on this side of the fence.

- Oh, nice.
- What's nice?

Shit! I'm blackjacked!
I'm blackjacked!

Joe?

Joe?

Damn it! No!

Blackjack on Raven.

Blackjack on Raven,
unfolding in real time.

Access beacon. Send all assets
to last known location.

Where's the park?

Georgetown campus.

How'd this come our way?

Approached Kyle at a bar.

- What bar?
- The Net. He thought he was

being honeypotted.
She said she saw him in Kiev

with 46 and then at
the Ukraine embassy last week.

She's FISU, worked her way
into Russia's SVR 2018.

- Long time to double agent.
- We reached out to Kiev.

- FISU verified it.
- Okay.

So what does she have?

Pretty curious
about that myself.

We good?

You're good.

It's not how
we like to do things.

SVR watches their own
more than they watch you.

We've been looking for a way
since the war started.

An opportunity appeared,
I took it.

Okay.

What are you gonna do about it?

Aleksi Yurimov.

I'm sorry. I'm not up
on my Russian spies.

The Middle East is my theater.

- You know SSD?
- Yes.

He runs it.

He's moved to the front.
I have his location.

Okay. Yay for you.

We want you to have him.

Why would we want that?

Leverage. Maybe you trade him.

Why would you want that?

He's Putin's hammer.

If we kill him, Putin's
retaliation will be severe.

But if you take him,
it's just the game.

And a big risk to a unit
or a Ground Branch detail

that gets trotted
before the world

on their way to a gulag
if they fail.

You'd be taking Putin's queen
off the chessboard.

Do you understand the value
of that for all of us?

Oh, I understand. For you.

But what do we get in return?

- What do you want?
- I don't know. What do you do?

- What's your field?
- Recruitment and infiltration.

You know honeypot?

Mm. I know honeypot.

I hold the jar.

How do we contact you?

Give me your number.
I'll have someone con...

Not on your fucking life.

You give contact to me,
and we'll reach out. Maybe.

Only good for a week.

If we're interested,
we'll be in touch.

Go smooth?

- Mm, it was interesting.
- Oh, yeah?

Where does "interesting"
send us?

Ever been to Ukraine?

You got to be kidding me, boss.

Uh, you know, Ukraine is on the
bucket list there, chief-eroni.

Yeah, I think it is now.

Fuck.

Popping smoke.

Move.

Last man.

Was a good trip?

I wouldn't say that, but...

Well, looks
like you have all your arms

and all your legs,

so I would say
it was a good trip.

Unit's in here.

Ah, there she is.

Ain't the border, babies,

this some big boy shit
right here.

It's fucking crazy,
is what this is.

We suspect that Russians

have tunneled into
this gas pipeline right here,

and they're using it
to ferry troops and equipment.

Your perimeter detail
are North Koreans.

They're motivated fighters,
but their tactics are atrocious.

They're also having
limited success

linking their comms
with Russian communications,

which is something
we feel like we can exploit.

Where's the target?

Take a look at the monitor.

All right, so Russians

implant locators
in their agents.

Our mole was good enough

to give us ID coordinates
for our target.

Looks like he's lying
in a field.

He's under it.
He's in the pipeline.

Mm-hmm.

So he's a senior level agent,

- correct?
- Correct.

What's he doing in the front

with amateur protection?

Planning something.

They used
open pipelines for their

last offensive, and it appears
that they're planning

something similar.

If he came here
with a Russian SF squadron,

we would be dumping
daisy cutters

all over that entire valley,

but he came in light,

- just like you.
- All right.

What's the plan?

Cody.

Yeah.

Excuse me, brother.

So, we're here.

We're gonna come to here.

We will move through
the trench to their left flank,

which is Rally Point Alpha.

First we'll send
a drone swarm over,

get their heads down,
hit 'em with 105s,

155s, 120 mortars,

then we'll sic the dogs on 'em.

These fucking guys.

SBU Alpha,
a Ukrainian outfit's gonna

move in from here.
They're gonna hit here

and here.
We are gonna work our way

up this trench to the LCC.

Then we'll move
on the farmhouse here,

blow the door,
put the dogs to work again.

Love their macho bullshit.

- I fucking love it.
- And then, yeah,

it's just a footrace
to the beacon.

- Piece of cake.
- Pretty simple.

Where are we?

You fight cover on exfil.

From where?

From right here.

No, no, no. That's bullshit.

- We're her shield.
- Yeah, whoa, whoa,

we go where she goes. Okay?
That ain't gonna work for us.

Who the fuck
do you think you are, sport?

Hey, don't put your hands
on my fucking teammate.

Hey!

You people have
zero fucking authority.

You ain't even
in the fucking Army.

- Fucking Army.
- Oh, that's what this is,

- an official Army op?
- Everyone dial it down.

Buddy,
this ain't an HRT mission,

- this is fucking war.
- What, you don't think

we know war? 'Cause we were
just in one with your ass

- right behind us.
- Tucker.

She's got to have someone
from our team with her.

Great way to start an op, guys.

And you wonder why
we don't want you with us.

You're acting like
a bunch of fucking amateurs.

You've been training in

the tactics of trench warfare,
Bobby, huh?

No?

What about defense
against a drone swarm?

Been working on that?

Uh-uh, you sure have not.

You are not trained
for the tactics of this place.

Then what the fuck
are we doing here?

Brass needs CIA to PID.

This unit, they have no file,
no folders, and we're

just not gonna risk it.

DLA's not a secure
Internet source.

We have a beacon, but we
don't know what he looks like.

This is bullshit.

Bush-league bullshit

- is what it is.
- You calling me

- bush-league, motherfucker?
- Bobby.

- Bobby, stand down.
- That's how you're acting.

I'm doing my fucking job.

Your job was to bring her
in country,

- and you did it.
- Fuck you.

Now your job is over.

Jesus Christ, children. I'll go.

All right? I'll go.
Everybody happy?

- No. OPSEC says her.
- Good?

It has to be her.

You have your TTPs
and we have ours.

I would like to know
the men on my six.

You know me.

Cody... you know what I mean.

Cruz,

you ain't forgot everything
we taught you. Have you?

I ain't forgot shit.

There you go.

You stay on my six,
she stays on yours.

Is everybody happy now?

I don't like this shit, boss.

Look, there's Tier One
and there's these fuckers.

You'll be safer with them
than you are in this bunker.

I got her.

0600 is go. All right?

There's a mist
that comes off the river.

Their junk thermals
can't see through it.

We're doing this in daylight?

They got NV just like we do,
but their thermals are dog shit.

Gen 2 at best, so...

We need the mist.

Just let us overwatch
from stage one, huh?

- SBU Alpha has overwatch.
- Why not fucking us?

Because if SBU Alpha
gets cut to shit,

it doesn't end up
on the front page

of the fucking New York Times.

Are there any more
goddamn questions?

Stay in the bunker.

We'll go through
all this again, 0400.

That means the meeting
is over, ladies.

Come on.

There's a room for us
across the hall.

- Love it.
- We're gonna play nice.

Not you, Joe.
No, you two stay with us.

Fuck this.

That's some bullshit.

You know, it's not like we were
running with those fuckers

five years ago!

Running with these guys
five months ago.

Goddamn it!

Listen up,
you haven't trained for this.

I've been here a week.

This fucking place,

it's like World War I

and Star Wars slammed
into each other.

You got fucking drones
and every concept weapon

on the planet being
test-driven out there

while soldiers are still
charging over trench walls

with goddamn bayonets.

Y-You'll see,
trust me, you'll see.

Now, I'm real fucking happy
to be sitting it out

right here in this bunker.

And mark my words,

if they snatch this fucker,

getting him out's gonna be
the real trick

'cause Russia will chase us
all the way to Poland

for the son of a bitch.

Yeah, we may miss
the fight tomorrow,

but we ain't missing the fight.

Fuck.

Morning.

Yeah.

Lock and load
if you ain't already.

We're ready.

- Everybody up?
- Yeah.

All right, here we go.

Oh, shit.

I guess turning the dogs loose
isn't a metaphor for these guys.

Holy shit.

This isn't a firefight
in Paktika.

- Head on a swivel. Got it?
- Copy.

Send 'em, send 'em,
send 'em, send 'em, send 'em.

Hey, right on my fucking six.

- Do not fall behind.
- Roger that. I got you.

On me.

Go.

Titan, that'll do.

- Grady, you up?
- We're up.

Move.

Hatchet 1, this is Sword 1.

We are inbound to release point.
Bravo, acknowledge.

Roger,
Sword 1. We're in position.

Incoming!

Fuck.

Somebody get on this other LMG!

Not you. Get down, get down.

Whoo! I could get used
to one of these!

All right, we're clear.
Let's move.

What the fuck was that?!

- Hey!
- Huh? What the fuck?

There is no mission without you,
do you understand me?

Until we have the target,
you are the mission.

So keep your fucking head down.

And you, check your fire
on the exfil, all right?

- We ain't the target.
- I got you.

Yeah, I see that.
Do you hear me?

No, don't nod. Acknowledge me.

Roger. We don't shoot you.

We move. Dogs.

Send 'em.

Smoke 'em.

On me.

Breacher.

Execute.

Titan.

That'll do.

Move.

Move, move, move.

Pretty quiet
since they went to the house.

- Yep.
- They run everything

suppressed, so even if
they are shooting...

Nobody's shooting back?

It is Delta.

Hey, you're not supposed
to be out here.

Yeah, and you're not supposed
to be in fucking Ukraine, bro.

- None of us are.
- We don't work for you,

bud. Different branch.

- We stay here.
- They have satellites

fixed on this position.

Russian SVR is staring
at you fuckers as we speak.

I don't give a shit.

We're overwatch
for their return, so fuck off.

Artillery
is their overwatch. Fine.

When they swarm drones,

we lock this fucking door
and we don't open it for shit.

Hey, if we want that door open,
we're gonna open it.

And you ain't gonna fucking like
how we do it,

but I promise you it'll be open.

Motherfucker.

Breach.

Yep.

It's making me
real fucking nervous.

You never get nervous
about me getting shot, Bobbo.

'Cause you always
get fucking shot.

You're wasting my time.

Frags.

Theirs or ours?

Uh, who can say?

Fuck.

Got one.

Needs a medic.

We ain't got no medic for him.
Let's go.

Boss?

Yep. Move.

Dogs.

Range to beacon.

On me.

Blow it.

Anyone speak Russian?

Joe, to me.

Which one?

Gray beard right in front
of you, long hair.

Dump the rest.

Gun.

Oh, got a knife.

Cody, we need him fit to travel.

No, we need him concussed,

worried about getting
the shit kicked out of him,

- not trying to escape.
- He has to be able to walk.

If he can't walk,
we will carry him.

Phone.

- Tracker, where is it?
- Left armpit.

DJ.

Got it.

Hey, fuck that, man,

- let him bleed.
- All right, he's good, then.

Burn him.

- Arms.
- Tie and bag.

Got it.

- Ready.
- All right, up.

Get him up.

On me.

Got him.

Walk.

All right, brother.
Got to boogie.

I'm right behind you.

I need you two on point.

We got it.

Sandman, this is Sword 1.

We are jackpot and inbound

on primary exfil break.

Fire mission, TRP, cowboys,
immediate suppression,

ten rounds, H.E. quick, over.

- Roger that, Sword 1.
- Okay, move.

Last man.

Move, move, move.

Here they come!
Pop smoke! Pop smoke!

Hope we're running
the right fucking way.

Just keep running.

What the fuck?!

Return to base.

Soldier, return to base.

Run!

Never seen that shit.

Pop more smoke! More smoke!
Blind those fucking things!

Keep going! Come on!

Last man!

Move. Move.

Move, go, go, go, go, go, go!

- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Go, go, go, go, go.

Come on, go, go, go, go, go!
Go, go, go, go, go!

CIA PID?

I confirmed.

Son of a bitch! Goddamn it!

Go smooth?

As smooth as these things go.

You got a lot of blood
on your face there.

Yeah, that's not mine.

We debriefing?

No, fuck no.
Not here, we're not.

We're getting
the fuck out of here.

Have everyone
ready to move, 1800.

Hey, brother. You got to get her
ready to travel, too.

- Those motherfuckers.
- No.

Get her ready to travel.

Them handlers is
a different breed, aren't they?

They're all a different breed.

All right, let's police up
all this shit.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

Uh, exactly how are we
gonna do that, boss?

That was pretty fucking nutty
right there.

We just killed a bunch of people
for a chess piece

in a war that has nothing
to do with us.

Got something to do with us.

They got SF and CIA
all over the place.

That's what I'm trying
to wrap my head around.

It's not the place
to talk about it.

Where you going?

I have no fucking idea.

Do they have a place for us?

Across the hall, they said.

Seen a lot of crazy shit, boss.
What the hell?

Not here, Bobby.

Fucking robots and drones
and shit.

Not here.

Do we have an exfil?

Same way we came in,
just backwards.

- Hey, you're home.
- I am.

- What time is it?
- It's late.

Or... early,
depending on your perspective.

- Okay.
- No. No, no, no.

Don't get up. I just wanted
to see your face.

- I'll be up in a minute.
- Okay.

- Mm. Love you.
- Bye.

Can I help you?

We're with state police.

Would you mind
stepping outside with us?

I would mind very much.
What is this about?

Please, step outside.

What is this about?

We need you to step outside.

Yeah, I'm gonna need your name,

your badge number,
your fucking watch commander,

a warrant, and all sorts of shit

I don't think
either of you assholes have.

Please. Ma'am.

Outside.

You're not the police,

but you're two minutes
from meeting them.

Oh, fuck.

I need FBI to my house
right now. I'm blown,

and I have two down.
