1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,842
<i>My chief of station
is about to turn you over to the police.</i>

2
00:00:08,925 --> 00:00:11,469
It is in both our interests
that I stay here with you.

3
00:00:11,553 --> 00:00:12,637
Then I need information.

4
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:14,601
<i>- Tell my husband?</i>
- Trowbridge wasn't involved.

5
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,401
- She's playing you.
- I don't think she is.

6
00:00:16,474 --> 00:00:19,519
I told you that Grove hired Roman Lenkov.

7
00:00:19,602 --> 00:00:21,396
Grove didn't hire him. I did.

8
00:00:21,479 --> 00:00:22,814
Nicol knows none of this.

9
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:25,567
She should tell him.
If the dude is innocent and he hears

10
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:28,862
<i>that fucking grandma bombed his ship,
there will come a reaction.</i>

11
00:00:28,945 --> 00:00:31,281
I told you she wasn't your VP.
And that's wrong.

12
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:32,407
So she's VP now?

13
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:35,744
I want to make plain that I'm here
as a favor to you, not Nicol.

14
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:38,788
<i>The room is wired.
We are gonna see and hear everything.</i>

15
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:39,998
Can I borrow you?

16
00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:44,127
I hired the Lenkov group
to place an explosive device on our ship.

17
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:45,462
<i>It did not go to plan.</i>

18
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,339
Fucking monster! You're a monster!

19
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:50,133
- Let go of her, sir.
- She killed them!

20
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:52,719
Ma'am, look at me.
I need you to tell me you're okay.

21
00:00:52,802 --> 00:00:54,095
Can you hear my voice?

22
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,298
- She's bleeding.
- We need you to stop moving.

23
00:01:12,322 --> 00:01:14,240
All the king's horses
and all the king's men.

24
00:01:14,324 --> 00:01:16,826
- I need you to keep still.
- That's a lot of blood, Theo.

25
00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:18,953
Now do you believe me?

26
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:35,345
They landed just before you.

27
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:38,098
Dennison's at nine.
Trowbridge is at twelve. How'd it go?

28
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:41,810
What was the reaction?
Did he make any calls?

29
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:44,604
- He slammed her head into the ground.
- He what?

30
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:46,815
- Ambassador Wyler.
- Hi.

31
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:48,149
- Welcome.
- Thank you.

32
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:49,567
We have a bit of a situation.

33
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:53,655
{\an8}The bridge light got stuck on red
and jammed the road halfway to Dunderave.

34
00:01:53,738 --> 00:01:56,407
I'm afraid the entire schedule's
blown to bits.

35
00:01:56,491 --> 00:02:00,411
Unless, perhaps, we might consider
foregoing your toast?

36
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:02,163
- No problem.
- Oh.

37
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:04,415
Generous of you.
Best laid plans and all that.

38
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:06,918
- Mm.
- Try the trout. It's from the loch.

39
00:02:07,001 --> 00:02:08,044
We will.

40
00:02:10,046 --> 00:02:13,216
- Is Roylin...
- She's fine. Well, she's not fine.

41
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:16,136
They're supergluing her head together,
but she's not gonna die.

42
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:18,221
- May I tempt you?
- You may.

43
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,182
He came this close to manslaughter.

44
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:22,976
You don't fake a reaction like that.

45
00:02:23,059 --> 00:02:25,103
He didn't do it. Trowbridge didn't do it.

46
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:26,771
So Roylin was telling the truth.

47
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,774
You were right. She was telling the truth.

48
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:32,128
We can move to the dining room
when we're ready.

49
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:34,696
We're not. And I'd appreciate
the courtesy of an answer.

50
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:36,579
If we want to stick
to the updated schedule...

51
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:39,534
Prime Minister? Is he quite all right?

52
00:02:39,617 --> 00:02:40,617
Give me that.

53
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:43,580
Croatia and Hungary
have already capped supermarket staples

54
00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:45,415
without stock market backlash.

55
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:48,960
Perhaps the prime minister doesn't wish
to follow Croatia and Hungary.

56
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:51,171
Jemma, I do miss our rows in the Commons.

57
00:02:51,254 --> 00:02:53,423
I heard you were hung up on price caps.

58
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:55,550
Let's have it. Randall, back me up.

59
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,970
Price caps are a utopian fantasy,
unless we want artificial...

60
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:02,140
Prime Minister,
I thought we'd raise a glass. Just us.

61
00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:08,021
You're in shock. Take a sip. It'll help.

62
00:03:08,646 --> 00:03:11,149
Looks like she's back
on the prime minister's good list.

63
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,776
What? Yes, good, yeah.

64
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,737
I don't know
if she mentioned anything to you

65
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:18,740
about me going through a rough patch,
but I'm through it.

66
00:03:18,823 --> 00:03:19,823
I'm back.

67
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:21,366
I'm all in.

68
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:23,411
That's good.

69
00:03:23,494 --> 00:03:25,174
We just have to make it
through the dinner.

70
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,123
You're buying a night
to get ahead of this.

71
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:30,793
You don't want anyone to know there's
a crisis until you have it under control.

72
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:33,129
To everything I don't want.

73
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,092
To the health
of the friends of Caledonia!

74
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:39,010
Hear, hear!

75
00:03:39,093 --> 00:03:42,889
- Sir, put your arm down. Prime Minister.
- Stop telling me what to do.

76
00:03:42,972 --> 00:03:44,599
There is blood on your cuff.

77
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:50,605
The room's clear.

78
00:03:50,688 --> 00:03:52,528
- Surveillance?
- Stripped. The van's out back.

79
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,734
The team's en route to London
to prep a hand-off.

80
00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:58,005
She's lost a lot of blood. I'd feel more
comfortable if we took her to a hospital.

81
00:03:58,029 --> 00:03:59,906
- No! You can't take me there.
- Ma'am!

82
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:02,492
They'll need to know what happened.
It'll all come out.

83
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:04,535
I played my part here, didn't I?

84
00:04:05,119 --> 00:04:06,621
I did it for my country.

85
00:04:06,704 --> 00:04:08,957
To keep the prime minister unscathed.

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,254
To keep Great Britain whole.
We won't survive if the story gets out.

87
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:16,422
We've got a duty of care.
The wound still won't clot.

88
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:19,842
Let me bleed dry.
But take me back to the safe house.

89
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:22,929
Ma'am, you are not
our responsibility anymore.

90
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:25,265
You attacked your own country.

91
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:27,767
What happens next
is up to your prime minister.

92
00:04:36,317 --> 00:04:37,318
How much does he know?

93
00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:40,321
I don't know. Not everything.

94
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:43,157
I mean, he interrupted her
with a chokehold halfway through.

95
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,868
- He got the basics?
- He was screaming, "You're a murderer"

96
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,787
so loud it fucked up the comms.

97
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:49,247
I'd say he got the gist.

98
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:52,250
- Dennison knows that he's innocent?
- I don't know. Maybe.

99
00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:53,793
What's he gonna do?

100
00:04:53,876 --> 00:04:54,711
Trowbridge?

101
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:56,671
Dennison. Either. Anything!

102
00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:58,756
Here is every single thing I know.

103
00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:02,343
Trowbridge is a hitter.
Roylin is a bleeder.

104
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:05,763
At dinner, the trout was dry,
and Trowbridge was catatonic.

105
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:07,974
He didn't do it. His advisor did.

106
00:05:08,057 --> 00:05:11,311
We have been toting her around
the British Isles like hand luggage.

107
00:05:11,394 --> 00:05:15,440
Meanwhile, I wrongly accused
the prime minister of mass murder.

108
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,234
- Does he know that?
- Hal...

109
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:19,678
You don't know.

110
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:25,408
- Have you gone to State?
- Uh, not yet.

111
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:28,202
Good. I just talked to Trowbridge.

112
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,802
He won't take Roylin into British custody

113
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,790
until he knows who he can trust
in his government.

114
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:34,417
Which might take a while.

115
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,378
So until then, what? She walks free?

116
00:05:38,921 --> 00:05:41,215
- I'm taking her to the safe house.
- Absolutely not.

117
00:05:41,299 --> 00:05:43,176
I don't like it either.
What's the alternative?

118
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:46,012
Let her go, see if she survives?
She named names.

119
00:05:46,095 --> 00:05:47,764
We need her somewhere secure.

120
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:50,808
Fine.

121
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:55,563
I have to report to the director
before Roylin gets to London.

122
00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:57,523
If it's okay with you,

123
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,985
I'd like to handle the messaging
to Washington by myself.

124
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:05,406
You solved the fucking thing.
You should both be milking this.

125
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:07,158
We'll both report.

126
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:10,370
Ma'am, I've got concerns
about my position.

127
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,665
I shouldn't have held Roylin so long.
I shouldn't be holding her now.

128
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:18,878
I need to keep the messaging clean.

129
00:06:28,846 --> 00:06:30,765
The prime minister
would like to speak with you.

130
00:06:36,729 --> 00:06:39,375
The motorcade is at the front
when you're ready to depart.

131
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,026
- I've informed the Scots...
- Leave us.

132
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:51,160
Sit.

133
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,678
It was a rough night.

134
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:11,848
Anything I can...

135
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,349
Do? Let's see.

136
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:16,060
"AMB..." that's ambassador,

137
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:19,313
"...led me to dining room
with excuse of Scottish policy demands."

138
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:23,317
"Found R..." R stands for traitor,
"...already seated."

139
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:26,279
"AMB did not express surprise, left room."

140
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:28,156
That all sound right?

141
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:32,888
- Sir, if I can give some context...
- It's not for my memoirs.

142
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:34,954
It's a factual record
for the eventual inquiry.

143
00:07:35,037 --> 00:07:36,414
Is it accurate so far?

144
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:40,793
You asked me to find her.

145
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:43,629
So you trapped me
in a private audience with a terrorist.

146
00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,591
What a way to deliver information.

147
00:07:47,091 --> 00:07:49,093
Most news arrives in the red box.

148
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:53,389
Sir, I think we all could have
handled things differently tonight.

149
00:08:03,941 --> 00:08:07,153
- What did she tell you?
- She said she wanted to talk to you.

150
00:08:09,238 --> 00:08:12,241
She told you what she did.
That's why you brought it to me. Yes?

151
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:14,076
- Yes.
- Did she name anyone?

152
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:17,830
Merritt Grove. Leonard Stendig.

153
00:08:21,792 --> 00:08:25,463
Grove was the bridge to the Russians.
Stendig's a toad in a Brioni.

154
00:08:25,546 --> 00:08:26,881
He'd be the muscle.

155
00:08:26,964 --> 00:08:31,677
Our Lady of Immaculate Deception
was the gray matter behind it all.

156
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:34,388
Who else did she press into service?

157
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,390
She wouldn't give us other names.

158
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:41,604
That means anyone in your government
could be involved.

159
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:45,024
We had to bring her straight to you.

160
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:50,195
Austin.

161
00:08:53,407 --> 00:08:57,328
"A ran in screaming,
protected R, threw me to the wall."

162
00:08:57,411 --> 00:08:58,955
Dennison wasn't part of it.

163
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:01,040
There's nothing
a loser wouldn't do to win.

164
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:03,209
Why do you think
he questioned Lenkov's death?

165
00:09:03,292 --> 00:09:07,255
- Because he's desperate to end me.
- Because he didn't want to lose a witness.

166
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:08,256
You can trust him.

167
00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:10,049
He wasn't supposed to be in Scotland.

168
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:13,261
- That can't be a coincidence.
- He's here because <i>I</i> asked him to come.

169
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:17,139
I had him wait with me outside the room
to support you when you heard.

170
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:22,103
- You and Austin waited in the hall?
- Yes.

171
00:09:24,605 --> 00:09:25,815
Why?

172
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:28,568
Sorry?

173
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:30,278
What did you think you'd hear?

174
00:09:35,032 --> 00:09:37,912
"Anyone in your government could
be involved." That's what you just said.

175
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:39,579
That's right.

176
00:09:39,662 --> 00:09:41,414
That's why you didn't warn me

177
00:09:42,873 --> 00:09:46,043
before bringing Roylin to me
like a dead mouse on the pillow.

178
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:47,920
You were listening for my response.

179
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:58,264
You thought it was me.

180
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:04,854
You brought Roylin here to entrap me.

181
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:06,647
Yes? Say it.

182
00:10:07,815 --> 00:10:09,400
That's not what we were doing.

183
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:11,444
You learned of a conspiracy
in my government,

184
00:10:11,527 --> 00:10:13,237
and you tried to destroy me with it.

185
00:10:13,321 --> 00:10:14,447
- Say it.
- Sir...

186
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:18,409
You thought I'd killed the very sailors
whose families I comforted this morning.

187
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:21,579
When you called me the quickest thinker
you'd met since your husband,

188
00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:23,122
you thought I was a murderer.

189
00:10:24,248 --> 00:10:25,291
Yes or no?!

190
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:32,089
I hate a liar.
Mrs. Wyler, tell me. Yes or no?

191
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:33,173
Yes.

192
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:00,868
He didn't do it.

193
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:02,828
- I'm well aware.
- We have Roylin.

194
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:05,706
He knows about Stendig and Grove,
knows you weren't involved.

195
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:07,541
- He knows I...
- Ambassador, thank you.

196
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:09,710
You've helped quite enough.

197
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:20,054
Austin!

198
00:11:25,976 --> 00:11:28,062
- Riding with the prime minister.
- Yes, sir.

199
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:53,378
Come on.

200
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,393
Yeah?

201
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:14,275
Yeah.

202
00:12:15,025 --> 00:12:16,025
Uh-huh.

203
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,072
Yeah. I'm on my way. Shoot!

204
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:22,950
No, I got it. Uh-huh.

205
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:28,289
I'm on top of it.

206
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:30,540
Ma'am?

207
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,251
Come in.

208
00:12:35,671 --> 00:12:36,547
What time is it?

209
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:39,008
I am so sorry.
We need to get going right away.

210
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,134
What happened?

211
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:42,887
Ma'am, the vice president
is on her way to London.

212
00:12:45,347 --> 00:12:46,347
Now?

213
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,814
- We ready?
- Um, do you have a paperclip?

214
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:56,442
- How about a binder clip?
- Uh, no. It's fine.

215
00:12:56,525 --> 00:13:00,237
No, it's not fine. The zipper broke off.
We need a paperclip to close her pants.

216
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:01,655
I'll hold my jacket over it.

217
00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:05,075
Why the fuck
is the vice president coming here?

218
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:09,497
To support the Brits.
Eidra sent a report to Langley last night.

219
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,123
I don't know what was in it,

220
00:13:11,207 --> 00:13:13,876
but it upset the White House enough
to send the VP.

221
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:16,879
- Does she know about me?
- That she's auditioning for her job?

222
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,006
Does she know
I'm on the short list for VP?

223
00:13:19,089 --> 00:13:21,592
I don't know. For the pants.

224
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:23,302
Perfect.

225
00:13:23,385 --> 00:13:25,179
And for the ride home.

226
00:13:27,097 --> 00:13:29,266
Briefing material
on Vice President Grace Penn.

227
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:32,895
It hasn't been fully updated
since her last visit to the UK,

228
00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:35,105
but it is a little more...

229
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:36,690
Can you, uh...

230
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:39,610
It is a little more granular
than her Wikipedia entry.

231
00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:42,321
- Yep.
- I'll quiz you in the car.

232
00:13:42,404 --> 00:13:43,739
We're not driving.

233
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,742
We need to get her back quickly,
and it is an eight-hour drive.

234
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:49,036
The vice president asked them
to pick you up.

235
00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:50,119
Who's "them"?

236
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,029
Yeah, she definitely knows.

237
00:14:27,449 --> 00:14:29,451
You know what was on the VP's schedule?

238
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:33,080
A school visit to Bethesda.

239
00:14:33,163 --> 00:14:36,500
Not an unannounced overseas trip.
The press is gonna have some questions.

240
00:14:36,584 --> 00:14:37,877
She's supporting the Brits.

241
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,795
Raises the question
why they need support.

242
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,340
<i>The CIA report was colorful. I don't think
we should share it with the press.</i>

243
00:14:43,424 --> 00:14:44,884
You need a reason for the visit.

244
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:48,012
The chief of staff will work with you.
I told her you're read in.

245
00:14:48,095 --> 00:14:50,139
- I'm not read in.
<i>- What does that mean?</i>

246
00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:52,099
<i>I'm working back into the inner circle.</i>

247
00:14:52,182 --> 00:14:54,226
Your girlfriend kept the report from you?

248
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:57,730
You told her to check me out,
and she's not my girlfriend anymore, so...

249
00:14:57,813 --> 00:14:59,648
<i>- Stuart...</i>
- We don't need to do a whole...

250
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:01,525
<i>Should Danny send you a gift basket?</i>

251
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:05,029
Federal gift limit's up to $20. It's like
two apples and a piece of cheese.

252
00:15:05,112 --> 00:15:09,116
No. I don't need to know
anything classified.

253
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:12,494
<i>But does the vice president know
that Kate's in the running for her job?</i>

254
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,496
- Yes.
<i>- They're about to have a one-on-one.</i>

255
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:17,791
<i>Is there anything I need to know
to make sure this goes okay for Kate?</i>

256
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:22,004
Uh, make sure the chief of station's
not still up on the PM.

257
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:27,134
- Up on the PM? As in?
<i>- Ask your ex.</i>

258
00:15:27,217 --> 00:15:29,511
This isn't something
I can discuss on an open line.

259
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:36,769
Lock off the staff hallway,

260
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:41,190
hard pins on the house staff,
essentials only, and no lookie-loos.

261
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:43,359
- Pardon me. The blood.
- Yes, right here.

262
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,527
- If you could refrigerate it.
- Of course.

263
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:52,868
She was at the table
for the Vienna talks in '92.

264
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:55,204
That's like...
We talked about it in my A-100.

265
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:57,206
That's the example we're trying to beat.

266
00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:59,875
How did the director take it?

267
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,878
The director would like Roylin
out of the safe house.

268
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,130
Shit. What do you need?

269
00:16:05,214 --> 00:16:07,883
Talk to Trowbridge.
Get him to take Roylin off our hands.

270
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,719
- He's not crazy about me right now.
- It's him or nothing.

271
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:14,473
We can't go to other contacts until
Trowbridge decides to widen the circle.

272
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:18,018
Fuck! Uh, I wanted to change.

273
00:16:19,186 --> 00:16:20,938
Talk to Dennison. He's in the circle.

274
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:22,564
Without you?

275
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:24,942
He's not crazy about me either.
Do these look okay?

276
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:26,318
Uh, they look normal.

277
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:29,405
Normal's great. I had a helicopter ride
and a pee break to prep.

278
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:31,448
There's a paperclip stuck to your pants.

279
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:32,533
It's holding them up.

280
00:16:32,616 --> 00:16:34,336
Ambassador?

281
00:16:37,037 --> 00:16:38,872
The vice president's ready for you.

282
00:16:42,292 --> 00:16:45,629
- Hi. Can I just sneak by?
- I'm sorry, sir. This entrance is closed.

283
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:48,132
- Ambassador's husband.
- It is an honor to meet you.

284
00:16:49,466 --> 00:16:52,344
I left my laptop in that library.
I'm gonna grab it and get out.

285
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:54,555
I'm so sorry, sir.
I know it's an inconvenience.

286
00:16:54,638 --> 00:16:56,932
There's people in there.
He works for my wife.

287
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:59,810
Sir, would you do me a favor
and take one step back?

288
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,110
There wasn't time to prep a one-pager,

289
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:10,779
so I thought I'd start
with a tour of the horizon.

290
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:11,905
Okay.

291
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:15,075
I'll start by, uh, looking east.

292
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:17,161
We got a verbal confession

293
00:17:17,244 --> 00:17:20,456
that the hit on HMS Courageous
was a British false flag attack

294
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,249
to gin up a gray-zone conflict...

295
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:24,460
With Iran. I read the report.
We can skip ahead.

296
00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:27,588
Great. Let me just, um...

297
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:32,217
I'm talking with your station chief
after this.

298
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:35,888
- She can fill in the nitty-gritty if we...
- Sorry. I finally got reading glasses.

299
00:17:35,971 --> 00:17:39,183
But I don't know if I left them
in Scotland or in the car.

300
00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:40,601
Or in my helicopter.

301
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,061
Right.

302
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,397
Try mine.

303
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:46,481
Oh.

304
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:48,400
Thanks.

305
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:52,321
Oh. Okay. Great.

306
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:55,282
Um, so looking southeast on the horizon,

307
00:17:55,365 --> 00:17:59,453
we supported the British attempt
to detain Roman Lenkov on French soil,

308
00:17:59,536 --> 00:18:01,538
but the French minister of the interior...

309
00:18:01,622 --> 00:18:03,791
...Fournier back-channeled
to a US interlocutor

310
00:18:03,874 --> 00:18:06,418
with suspicions
that the arrest would be a hit.

311
00:18:06,502 --> 00:18:09,129
- It was in the report. Let's...
- Right.

312
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:12,466
I brought their suspicions
to the British foreign secretary.

313
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:13,383
<i>You</i> did?

314
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:16,136
Yes. The foreign secretary's
internal inquiries...

315
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:17,554
Why you?

316
00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:19,890
I was the back-channel interlocutor.

317
00:18:19,973 --> 00:18:21,350
That wasn't in the report.

318
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:24,978
Dennison confirmed the suspicion,
but kicked up enough dust

319
00:18:25,062 --> 00:18:27,564
that Margaret Roylin
reached out to us for help.

320
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:28,982
- Us? You?
- She called me.

321
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:31,985
We brought her into the embassy
and ultimately got a confession.

322
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,655
Why does everybody call you?

323
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:37,366
I called her first in France.

324
00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:40,410
I wanted advice,
and she used me for intel,

325
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:42,621
but it established a bond.

326
00:18:44,581 --> 00:18:47,084
Which brings us to the north.

327
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,128
- Scotland.
- Scotland.

328
00:18:49,753 --> 00:18:53,632
There's a district the size of a postage
stamp that swung for independence.

329
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:56,593
It sparked Margaret Roylin's
scorched-earth run

330
00:18:56,677 --> 00:18:58,303
to give the UK a common enemy.

331
00:18:58,387 --> 00:18:59,429
She's right to worry.

332
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:02,808
If the UK eats itself alive,
second wave impact,

333
00:19:02,891 --> 00:19:05,144
it's a huge blow to NATO and Five Eyes.

334
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:08,897
Third wave, Northern Ireland, Catalonia.

335
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,692
Democracies carving themselves
into splinters,

336
00:19:11,775 --> 00:19:13,986
while autocracy's
having its best year since '37.

337
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:15,529
That's... Yeah.

338
00:19:15,612 --> 00:19:18,407
The danger is not on the horizon.
It's here.

339
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:19,575
Exactly.

340
00:19:20,742 --> 00:19:21,743
Nora?

341
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:25,205
Ready for the chief of station?

342
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:27,916
See if we can get the prime minister
to come by.

343
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,132
Oh, there you are.

344
00:19:35,215 --> 00:19:37,759
I know we're
in the rebuilding trust phase.

345
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,178
I don't want to rush that, but...

346
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:42,472
The prime minister's on his way.
I've got to brief the vice president.

347
00:19:43,974 --> 00:19:48,312
What does it mean to be "up on the PM"?
Does that mean tapping his phone?

348
00:19:51,648 --> 00:19:53,817
- Eidra?
- I've got to go.

349
00:19:53,901 --> 00:19:58,071
No, I didn't see the report,
which is fine. I get why I'm not read in.

350
00:19:58,155 --> 00:20:01,533
I don't need to know anything,
but with the prime minister coming

351
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:04,661
and with Grace Penn here,
and the vice presidency,

352
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:08,624
is there anything that could damage Kate?
Like, I don't know...

353
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,250
tapping the PM's phone?

354
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,629
I guess you should know...

355
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,466
Trowbridge is mad at Kate.

356
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:19,550
Because of the...

357
00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,137
Because of the... You know, the sting.

358
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:26,683
No. I don't know about the sting.

359
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,776
Agent Griffin will not allow
the vice president

360
00:20:35,859 --> 00:20:37,194
to join the greeting party.

361
00:20:37,277 --> 00:20:39,488
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
I can't have her outside.

362
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:42,699
- What? It's the PM. She greets him here.
- It's protocol.

363
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:46,119
Unfortunately,
we don't control the sight lines.

364
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:47,329
She'll be inside.

365
00:21:01,176 --> 00:21:05,555
- Welcome back to Winfield, Prime Minister.
- Sir, it's nice to see you again.

366
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,767
- Where is she?
- She's inside.

367
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:11,853
Your president had the horse sense
to meet me at the front door.

368
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:14,147
I suppose
that's your golden touch at work.

369
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:18,118
She's glad you were
both able to come.

370
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:19,193
Mm-hm.

371
00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:21,363
- Does she know?
- Mm-hmm.

372
00:21:23,991 --> 00:21:28,120
- Ma'am, do you need me to pull you?
- From this?

373
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:34,501
I don't need to know anything classified,
but he's a killer and he hates you.

374
00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:39,548
- You don't need to drink tea with the guy.
- Stuart, Trowbridge is innocent.

375
00:21:46,763 --> 00:21:48,950
I know me and my circus train
are the last thing

376
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:52,561
you need at a time like this,
so I hope you'll forgive the intrusion.

377
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:53,644
Come, sit.

378
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:07,701
I, um... I suppose you'd like me
to explain it all.

379
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,288
I wish I could.

380
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:13,290
The VP has been briefed on the basics.

381
00:22:13,373 --> 00:22:16,126
It would be helpful to hear
what you plan to do next.

382
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:18,045
I'm sorry to drag you through it.

383
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:20,714
No, no. It's good practice.

384
00:22:20,797 --> 00:22:22,924
I'll have to do it
from the podium eventually.

385
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:25,135
Perhaps we could talk through
the plan of action.

386
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:28,638
The plan is an hour old.

387
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:31,224
It'll be chuffed
to hear itself called a plan.

388
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:35,520
The prime minister
has a two-pronged approach in mind.

389
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:36,604
Austin...

390
00:22:40,275 --> 00:22:42,361
My own advisor attacked my country,

391
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,073
and I am the fool who trusted her.

392
00:22:46,656 --> 00:22:48,116
That's not why I'm here.

393
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,579
No, you're here to help.
And, surely, to steer my response.

394
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:59,294
There is no fiercer drive than shame.

395
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:04,758
I will crush the conspirators.

396
00:23:06,551 --> 00:23:08,178
I will out the truth.

397
00:23:09,262 --> 00:23:11,640
You're right. You are a resource drain.

398
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,266
And we're already limping.

399
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:16,353
So, with gratitude and respect,

400
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:19,106
the best help
that you can give me is distance.

401
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:22,818
So that I can give my all to this fight.

402
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:25,112
I know you'll do what's best
for your country.

403
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:29,658
I'm grateful for your visit.
And I wish you a safe journey.

404
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:33,245
You accused Russia of a crime
that you committed.

405
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:36,039
We're trying to get them back
to a negotiating table,

406
00:23:36,123 --> 00:23:38,208
and you handed them
a new excuse to walk away.

407
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:40,544
You may not want my help,

408
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:42,879
but you need it.

409
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:49,845
The vice president announces agreement

410
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,728
to expand tax credits
for electric vehicles...

411
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:54,683
You said that one already.
Auto unions would oppose.

412
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:55,851
Next one's not gonna work.

413
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:58,019
Executive action
on fish oil capsule trade.

414
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,897
There's a pro-democracy thing tomorrow.
She could keynote.

415
00:24:00,981 --> 00:24:02,649
- At the IOD? Not great.
- Crankfest?

416
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,651
They're legit. But it'll be empty chairs.

417
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:07,863
Everyone senior will skip the talk
for the Australia dinner.

418
00:24:08,655 --> 00:24:10,198
- The Australia dinner...
- Which is?

419
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,826
Australian navy chief's here
for the Dreadnought deal.

420
00:24:12,909 --> 00:24:13,785
Which one's that?

421
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:16,371
The one the French called,
"A knife in the back." You know?

422
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:17,289
I don't.

423
00:24:17,372 --> 00:24:19,212
Australia was gonna buy submarines
from France.

424
00:24:19,249 --> 00:24:22,085
They backed out
and got them from the UK instead.

425
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:24,504
- Ah.
- Can you live with pissing off the French?

426
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:27,757
I think I can. I'll run it by Billie.

427
00:24:31,261 --> 00:24:34,764
I need a pull-aside with Dennison,
if you can help stage manage the exit.

428
00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:37,309
We need him to take Roylin off our hands.

429
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:40,228
It's fine. The ambassador okayed it.

430
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:43,607
I don't wanna know why you need him.

431
00:24:44,399 --> 00:24:46,651
I don't wanna know we still have Roylin.

432
00:24:46,735 --> 00:24:48,528
Why the fuck do we still have Roylin?

433
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:50,780
Don't worry.
The director said the same thing.

434
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:53,658
The ambassador told me
that Trowbridge is innocent.

435
00:24:53,742 --> 00:24:55,327
Which means this was all Roylin.

436
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:59,498
- And we're protecting her?
- What happened to you not needing to know?

437
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:06,922
I'm fine being out of the loop.
I'm fine earning my way back in.

438
00:25:07,547 --> 00:25:10,175
But it's starting to look
like I'm not the problem anymore.

439
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:15,347
What the fuck are you doing?

440
00:25:18,391 --> 00:25:21,728
The prime minister is well aware
that retracting a Russia accusation...

441
00:25:21,811 --> 00:25:25,357
Fuels the conspiracists
and the isolationists to start.

442
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,818
And means we'll face disbelief
when next we accuse Russia of...

443
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:31,029
Jailing a journalist
and calling them a spy.

444
00:25:31,112 --> 00:25:33,281
Or abducting children
and calling them refugees.

445
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:36,117
You attacked your own ship
and called it Russia.

446
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:37,744
We understand it's fraught.

447
00:25:38,578 --> 00:25:41,081
But nothing about this
will unfold recklessly.

448
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:43,708
Nothing about it can unfold unilaterally.

449
00:25:45,418 --> 00:25:48,588
Gentlemen, our interest
can't come as a surprise.

450
00:25:49,589 --> 00:25:51,091
Sketch out the mud map.

451
00:25:54,594 --> 00:25:59,057
To minimize risk, the prime minister can
either tell the truth, but tell it slowly...

452
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:01,977
Or he can keep it quiet.
What did you pick?

453
00:26:03,645 --> 00:26:04,646
I'm sorry?

454
00:26:05,146 --> 00:26:07,774
I'm sorry. I'm finishing your sentences.

455
00:26:07,857 --> 00:26:10,193
My press team calls it
cooperative overlapping.

456
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:12,988
But if they weren't my press team,
they'd call it rude.

457
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:15,949
It means I agree with you. I'll...

458
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,955
Not at all.
But that's not what I was saying.

459
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:24,583
What were you saying?

460
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:26,751
I was saying it can come out slowly,

461
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:30,547
or the prime minister can bring it out
in full to the Commons.

462
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:32,674
Call for an inquiry.

463
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:34,509
That would be the correct option.

464
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,721
But given the possibility
of unknown collaborators,

465
00:26:37,804 --> 00:26:39,306
even within our own ranks, we...

466
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:42,142
He likes the slow approach. It suits him.

467
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:45,687
It delays your resignation
until the story's out in full.

468
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:47,897
Less churn is better for all of us.

469
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:50,942
I'm not resigning.
I don't intend to resign.

470
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:52,777
Oh. I thought...

471
00:26:53,486 --> 00:26:57,365
Blame it on the jet lag.
I'm seeing everything in absolutes.

472
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:59,951
Tell the story and resign.
Bury it and stay in office.

473
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:01,620
And you've found a third way?

474
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,497
If we titrate the information...

475
00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:07,667
Perhaps we should consider
the vice president's suggestion.

476
00:27:07,751 --> 00:27:10,086
Goodness, I misunderstood
the foreign secretary...

477
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:11,379
We're discussing options.

478
00:27:13,089 --> 00:27:14,382
It's one we should discuss.

479
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:20,096
You're saying keep the whole thing quiet.
The carrier, the car bomb, the conspiracy.

480
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:22,766
Austin would like to keep it quiet
for a year.

481
00:27:22,849 --> 00:27:24,976
That's what the slow approach amounts to.

482
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:29,064
But what's the difference between one year
and two? Two years and ten?

483
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:34,152
If the goal is global stability,
then I don't see the line.

484
00:27:35,403 --> 00:27:38,281
So the world goes on
believing it was Russia.

485
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:40,075
Russia's done worse.

486
00:27:40,575 --> 00:27:42,118
They might not mind the blame.

487
00:27:42,202 --> 00:27:45,497
They gave up Roman Lenkov.
They were willing to take the hit.

488
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:48,249
It makes them look stronger
when we fight back.

489
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:51,878
Is it even... Would it even be possible?

490
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,421
Who else knows?

491
00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:55,924
It went up high-side in Washington.

492
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,384
We told Langley.

493
00:27:57,467 --> 00:28:00,762
Langley brought it to the White House,
so a few senior officials know.

494
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:03,640
And they can keep it quiet.
We can manage our end.

495
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:06,643
The conspirators know. Roylin. Stendig.

496
00:28:06,726 --> 00:28:09,646
They did it to unite the nation.
They won't talk.

497
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:14,609
I mean, if they did, it would blow up
their cause and land them in jail.

498
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:17,737
What about the families?

499
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,073
- What about the families?
- They deserve the truth.

500
00:28:20,156 --> 00:28:22,784
They don't want the truth.
They want the dead back.

501
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:24,160
But it's too late for that.

502
00:28:27,455 --> 00:28:29,499
Isn't it better they didn't die in vain?

503
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:41,386
Take some time to think about it.
We'll do the same.

504
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:44,723
There's a great deal to consider,
but I think we've made some progress.

505
00:28:45,473 --> 00:28:47,851
- For now, let's keep this...
- Of course.

506
00:28:47,934 --> 00:28:50,061
Well, madam, thank you.

507
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:52,230
Most missions of mercy
prove far less helpful.

508
00:28:52,313 --> 00:28:54,315
Margaret Roylin
is a British citizen.

509
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,985
You don't want us holding her
outside the eye of the law.

510
00:28:57,068 --> 00:28:59,362
- What would you have me do?
- Talk to the prime minister.

511
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:01,656
We can find a discreet way
to hand over custody.

512
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:04,784
You'll want her arrest quiet
until you've smoked out her collaborators.

513
00:29:04,868 --> 00:29:10,582
We won't. There's no fire.
Therefore, there must not be smoke.

514
00:29:10,665 --> 00:29:13,042
- What do you mean?
- We're burying the story.

515
00:29:13,626 --> 00:29:17,797
So the police can't take Roylin,
and they can't hear about any of this.

516
00:29:17,881 --> 00:29:20,341
That's one option.
Trowbridge is still deliberating.

517
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,010
I feel I know which one he'll pick.

518
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:24,429
So we just let Roylin go?

519
00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:29,809
She came to us
because she was afraid for her life.

520
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:32,353
If she gets killed, we lose our evidence.

521
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:33,855
Send her home.

522
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,649
And if she's afraid,
tell her to lock her door.

523
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:44,448
You okay?

524
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:48,870
You know you can talk to me, right?
Even with the VP here.

525
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:50,079
We're in this together.

526
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:56,336
Do you realize what we almost did?
You and I. Together.

527
00:30:02,425 --> 00:30:03,510
We should talk.

528
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:14,020
Dennison is pretty sure
the PM will choose to bury it.

529
00:30:14,103 --> 00:30:18,733
Trowbridge is unpredictable and impulsive,
but he reliably acts in his self-interest.

530
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:21,861
- One of the smart things about the plan...
- I don't need a postmort.

531
00:30:23,154 --> 00:30:25,114
I'm sorry.
What did you want to talk about?

532
00:30:25,198 --> 00:30:27,325
I hear you want to be vice president.

533
00:30:28,034 --> 00:30:29,034
Oh.

534
00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:32,956
I know a thing or two about the job,
if you have questions.

535
00:30:35,208 --> 00:30:36,209
Um...

536
00:30:37,627 --> 00:30:42,924
That's not the situation, exactly.
And you really don't have to.

537
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:45,510
This is awkward for me too, if that helps.

538
00:30:49,222 --> 00:30:52,141
I wouldn't say
I want to be vice president.

539
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:53,226
You wouldn't?

540
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:55,895
I think we'd all be happier
if you stayed where you are.

541
00:30:56,813 --> 00:31:00,692
But I understand there is a problem,
and I'm willing to step in.

542
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:05,280
So you would be vice president
of the United States as a favor?

543
00:31:07,073 --> 00:31:11,786
I'm no one's first pick is my point.
I know I have a lot to learn.

544
00:31:12,287 --> 00:31:16,583
If you have any advice,
I'd love to hear it.

545
00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:23,715
Billie says your DCM's
got a lot of experience.

546
00:31:23,798 --> 00:31:25,592
He's been giving you a crash course?

547
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:28,303
- Yes.
- What have you covered?

548
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:32,140
He's fantastic.
Uh, we haven't had a lot of time.

549
00:31:32,807 --> 00:31:37,687
So far, he's sort of hung up
on the packaging.

550
00:31:38,479 --> 00:31:42,191
I'd rather focus on policy
and, I don't know, um, the Senate.

551
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:43,192
Packaging?

552
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:48,364
My clothing, uh, my hair,
which he finds particularly upsetting.

553
00:31:48,865 --> 00:31:49,865
He's right.

554
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:53,620
It's a visual world.

555
00:31:54,829 --> 00:31:57,373
No one will read your policy papers.

556
00:31:57,457 --> 00:32:00,126
Best case, a sound bite will go viral
once a year.

557
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:04,923
Your face'll appear in the media
an average of 12,000 times a day.

558
00:32:05,006 --> 00:32:06,466
Every classroom in America,

559
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:09,886
every embassy in the world,
will hang your picture on the wall.

560
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:11,262
It's soft power.

561
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:13,932
So you've got a couple of choices.

562
00:32:14,515 --> 00:32:17,268
Wear a suit
like the military wears a uniform.

563
00:32:17,352 --> 00:32:20,939
Disappear. Hide the individual
behind the duty to serve.

564
00:32:21,522 --> 00:32:22,440
Or get a gimmick.

565
00:32:22,523 --> 00:32:27,528
Blonde bob, red lipstick,
pins like Albright, collars like RBG.

566
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:31,115
Glasses, a shorthand
so people see what you stand for.

567
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,451
And little girls dress like you
for Halloween.

568
00:32:33,534 --> 00:32:37,622
I think I'm opting for the suit
that makes you disappear.

569
00:32:38,831 --> 00:32:40,667
- Are you?
- Black suit.

570
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:43,252
Every now and then a navy suit.

571
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,173
- What do you think it broadcasts?
- As little as possible.

572
00:32:52,387 --> 00:32:53,429
No?

573
00:32:57,225 --> 00:33:00,186
Looking to the north,
you probably think your hair says

574
00:33:00,269 --> 00:33:03,231
you're too busy serving your country
to get a blowout.

575
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:04,440
But it reads as bedhead,

576
00:33:04,524 --> 00:33:08,403
which sends a signal I think,
in this case, that's better unsent.

577
00:33:08,903 --> 00:33:11,614
East and west,
try a bra with a little padding.

578
00:33:11,698 --> 00:33:13,241
I know there's not much to hide.

579
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:15,660
But when your jacket opens,
I'm getting headlights.

580
00:33:15,743 --> 00:33:18,955
Which takes us to the south.
Is that a paperclip?

581
00:33:19,038 --> 00:33:22,750
Oh, yes. I had a, um, a zipper issue.

582
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,670
When you're a second-tier diplomat
in a third-world war zone,

583
00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:27,422
that may read as scrappy.

584
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:31,134
If you're representing the interests
of 300 million Americans

585
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:33,886
whose healthcare is failing,
whose planet is burning,

586
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:36,514
whose future might get a little better
or a little worse

587
00:33:36,597 --> 00:33:38,599
based on what you do
in the course of a day,

588
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,852
it's best to look like
the care of your trousers

589
00:33:40,935 --> 00:33:42,854
wasn't more than you could manage.

590
00:33:47,775 --> 00:33:50,153
So, let's talk about the Senate.

591
00:33:58,202 --> 00:33:59,579
Come on. It's supper time.

592
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:06,794
The vice president
called me a sloppy hussy.

593
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,093
One time, chief of protocol
called me a shit in a suit.

594
00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:15,928
- Hal...
- She's a sore loser.

595
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:22,393
She's not.

596
00:34:25,104 --> 00:34:26,105
She's incredible.

597
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:34,197
No, before that, in '06.

598
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,823
- In Brussels?
- In Beirut.

599
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:38,701
- No. Are you sure?
- We had a long conversation.

600
00:34:38,785 --> 00:34:41,996
I was a freshman in the House.
It was a bigger deal for me than you.

601
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,000
- You remember that?
- She came on a codel.

602
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,041
Why are you quitting?

603
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:51,506
I think you know why.

604
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:55,760
I know what your husband did.
That's not the question. You were right.

605
00:34:55,843 --> 00:34:57,804
I'm not suited for the job.
You know who is?

606
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:02,517
- Kate. It's not up to her.
- Why? She was elected.

607
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,436
That makes her one of two people
in the White House who can't be fired.

608
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,521
What are you doing?

609
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:09,649
We just hatched a plan
to keep Nicol Trowbridge in office.

610
00:35:09,732 --> 00:35:12,276
Maybe we should be stabilizing
our own leadership.

611
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,236
It's not up to us.

612
00:35:13,319 --> 00:35:14,737
- It's like Hassan.
- Is it?

613
00:35:14,821 --> 00:35:18,533
Brilliant leader burned
by palace intrigue. We helped him.

614
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:20,535
- Kate...
- I'm serious. Don't you think?

615
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:22,620
- You're asking me?
- Yes.

616
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:24,872
If you're asking me, then no.

617
00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:33,297
If we could somehow
magically help you stay,

618
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:36,259
what happens the day after
your husband's story breaks?

619
00:35:36,342 --> 00:35:39,762
The White House would keep me quiet
while someone did the morning shows.

620
00:35:39,846 --> 00:35:43,516
Late night would put a man in drag
to play me trying to kill my spouse.

621
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:48,146
Every congressional hearing
from formula shortages to redlining

622
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,731
would become a face-off over my hypocrisy.

623
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:54,235
The president's numbers would plummet.
His agenda grinds to a halt.

624
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:59,740
- Thank you.
- Or maybe people would react and move on.

625
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,535
Maybe?
Well, that's compelling.

626
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:09,250
What do you think my husband would do
if it was him instead of you?

627
00:36:10,209 --> 00:36:11,252
Would he quit?

628
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:15,256
- I could tell you...
- I asked the vice president.

629
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:18,843
Do you think,
for the good of the administration,

630
00:36:18,926 --> 00:36:20,720
he would quietly step down?

631
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:26,017
Or do you think he would assume his
presence was so valuable to the president

632
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:29,145
and the nation
that the hit would be worth taking.

633
00:36:31,105 --> 00:36:32,565
- He would stay.
- He would.

634
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:35,818
He would have no problem
hijacking the agenda,

635
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:37,945
destroying the president's numbers.

636
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:42,909
He'd say keeping an experienced leader
in power is worth a little turmoil.

637
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:46,120
This is flattering, and you're very kind.

638
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,289
- It sounds like I'm kissing your ass.
- It does.

639
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,333
So you'll say nice things
when you go back.

640
00:36:50,416 --> 00:36:51,334
And I will.

641
00:36:51,417 --> 00:36:52,710
That's not why.

642
00:36:52,793 --> 00:36:53,878
It's not.

643
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:57,882
Ma'am, I think you're good
for the country.

644
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,801
Aren't you?

645
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:03,596
Yeah, I am.

646
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:08,351
You know what?
You make an interesting point.

647
00:37:08,851 --> 00:37:14,148
Maybe the VP could survive this
if the White House fought for her.

648
00:37:15,274 --> 00:37:17,276
- So why aren't they?
- Exactly.

649
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,362
- Because they don't want her.
- Hal!

650
00:37:20,321 --> 00:37:24,158
Constitutionally, she's got two jobs.
Break ties. Keep breathing.

651
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:25,743
It's hard to screw that up.

652
00:37:26,327 --> 00:37:29,372
They don't like her enough
to stick her in the back of group photos.

653
00:37:29,455 --> 00:37:30,456
Okay.

654
00:37:30,539 --> 00:37:33,167
What are the vice president's
signature achievements?

655
00:37:35,503 --> 00:37:36,754
That's a real question.

656
00:37:37,964 --> 00:37:42,134
I'm coming up blank.
Uh, she wore all white once.

657
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:44,762
It symbolized something.

658
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:46,889
If it works,
it's the president's achievement.

659
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:49,267
It only gets my name if it goes to shit.

660
00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:52,311
If you were the future of the party,
they'd throw you a bone.

661
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:57,316
You know how much they don't want her?
They want you.

662
00:37:58,067 --> 00:38:00,695
You needed six months in London
to learn to hold a teacup.

663
00:38:00,778 --> 00:38:02,989
You're not electable,
and still the better choice.

664
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:04,323
- I'm not.
- You are.

665
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:06,951
The VP isn't electable either,
and she's trying.

666
00:38:07,743 --> 00:38:09,662
They try different labels,
different bowls.

667
00:38:09,745 --> 00:38:11,622
The dogs don't like the dog food.

668
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,348
I have to apologize for my husband.

669
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:30,933
Nothing I haven't heard before.

670
00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:33,394
He used to be an ambassador.
He still gets the title.

671
00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:34,645
But at this point,

672
00:38:35,563 --> 00:38:40,526
his best shot at real power
is by getting me to take your job.

673
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:42,736
Anyway,

674
00:38:44,071 --> 00:38:45,239
I'm really sorry.

675
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:50,244
- Want?
- Sure.

676
00:38:51,245 --> 00:38:52,830
- No, let me...
- I got it. Sit.

677
00:39:07,845 --> 00:39:08,845
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.

678
00:39:20,566 --> 00:39:22,193
I was too rough on you earlier.

679
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:26,155
- You were right.
- No, it bothered me.

680
00:39:27,448 --> 00:39:28,699
You not wanting it.

681
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,578
I got torn apart for the sin of ambition,
and then you show up.

682
00:39:33,662 --> 00:39:36,082
The super trooper good sport dream girl.

683
00:39:38,292 --> 00:39:39,752
So I don't need a new bra?

684
00:39:39,835 --> 00:39:40,835
You do.

685
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:48,677
When I started out, I said
I would never change myself for them.

686
00:39:49,428 --> 00:39:51,931
Now I get my hair dipped in carcinogens
once a month.

687
00:39:52,014 --> 00:39:53,391
The eyeliner's a tattoo.

688
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:01,816
I can't think of a non-cheesy way
to say this, so...

689
00:40:04,443 --> 00:40:06,112
You were inspiring today.

690
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:07,696
With Trowbridge.

691
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:09,615
What?

692
00:40:09,698 --> 00:40:13,702
You planted his big idea.
You told him to bury it.

693
00:40:14,203 --> 00:40:18,499
That wasn't a misunderstanding.
You were leading him to the plan.

694
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:22,420
Well, I'd love to take credit, but no.
It was a happy accident.

695
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:35,474
Hal does these things,
and it just rolls off of him.

696
00:40:36,517 --> 00:40:38,853
He's one of those? Fails up?

697
00:40:38,936 --> 00:40:40,396
Can't lose for trying.

698
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:46,068
You're killing yourself,
and you're still on your way out.

699
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:47,944
Sounds right.

700
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:53,117
That's why I won't fight this.
I know I can't win.

701
00:40:59,582 --> 00:41:03,127
If you're exhausted from 30 years
in the ring, I respect that.

702
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:07,631
You've done more
than anyone has the right to ask of you.

703
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:10,843
But if any part of you still wants it,

704
00:41:12,928 --> 00:41:16,098
if you won't fight this,
I don't know who will.

705
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:27,693
I know you're up.

706
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:31,906
She's thinking about it.

707
00:41:31,989 --> 00:41:34,366
That's a fucking victory
after what you did.

708
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:37,286
So tomorrow, you are going to help.

709
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:42,208
You're gonna call Billie,
and you're gonna tell her

710
00:41:42,291 --> 00:41:45,461
that Grace Penn should be
vice president of the United States.

711
00:41:45,544 --> 00:41:47,421
Not me. Not you.

712
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,466
The president doesn't want her.
He wants you.

713
00:41:50,549 --> 00:41:52,051
He speaks.

714
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:54,511
Katie,

715
00:41:55,596 --> 00:42:00,226
when someone hands you
the opportunity of a lifetime,

716
00:42:01,018 --> 00:42:02,144
you have to take it.

717
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:04,855
It's still day in Washington. Billie's up.

718
00:42:05,523 --> 00:42:07,358
How about you call her right now?

719
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:08,526
I'm not calling Billie.

720
00:42:09,652 --> 00:42:10,652
Okay.

721
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,324
- What are you doing?
- Calling her myself.

722
00:42:15,824 --> 00:42:19,036
I'm gonna tell her if it's not Grace,
it sure as fuck isn't me.

723
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:21,747
Katie. Kate. Give me the phone.

724
00:42:22,456 --> 00:42:24,792
Listen to me.
You have to trust me. You can't do...

725
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:25,751
Get off!

726
00:42:25,834 --> 00:42:27,044
Hang up the fucking phone.

727
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:29,129
What the fuck?!

728
00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:30,923
Indulge me in a fantasy. Kate.

729
00:42:31,006 --> 00:42:31,840
- No!
- Okay.

730
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,927
You're vice president.
You get to add one item to the agenda.

731
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:36,387
- What do you pick?
- Give it back!

732
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:39,223
Nuclear talks for a cyber world?
Visas for Afghans?

733
00:42:42,893 --> 00:42:45,813
What the fuck are you doing?!

734
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:48,065
Katie. Ow! Fuck.

735
00:42:48,148 --> 00:42:50,734
- You are gonna pop a fucking stitch!
- Shit! Stop moving!

736
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,820
Then get off of me!

737
00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:54,362
Katie,

738
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:57,533
you can't rescue Grace.

739
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:00,327
She shouldn't be rescued.

740
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,788
She shouldn't go down
because of her stupid husband.

741
00:43:02,871 --> 00:43:04,456
That's not why she's going down.

742
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:08,252
Why? Because she's not electable?
They don't like her?

743
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:14,300
She is brilliant and tough and human
and for some god-awful reason,

744
00:43:14,383 --> 00:43:17,011
she still wants to serve
the American people.

745
00:43:18,637 --> 00:43:19,638
Stop!

746
00:43:20,472 --> 00:43:21,472
Katie.

747
00:43:23,434 --> 00:43:26,520
Roylin hired Lenkov
to shoot a British ship.

748
00:43:28,647 --> 00:43:30,899
But Roylin didn't come up with the idea.

749
00:43:33,068 --> 00:43:34,153
Grace Penn did.
