The attack on Joe

[Westfield scoffs]

They made the attempt
the day she returned,

20 minutes after she walked

they had eyes on her in Kiev.

for a while.

But if they knew the mission,

they could've hit her

hit her on return,

hit her plane.

And the 50-year plan is now.

What would possibly be
the reason

for U.S. government officials
not to investigate

the origins of a disease,
let's say,

a testing lab in Wuhan
funded by U.S. dollars?

Why would a U.S. government
agency be partnering

with a known adversary

on a Chinese institute
of virology,

particularly one
that President Obama defunded,

based on the risks

of gain-of-function testing,
in 2014?

And yet the funds still flowed
to that facility.

How many
U.S. government officials

were under Chinese control
or influence

to facilitate that?

China doesn't waste its time

trying to flip
FBI counter terrorism agents

or military officers.

That's Russia's sphere

because Russia's greatest fear
is war.

China has no fear of war

because
they have absolutely no interest

in military conflict.

Our nations are
too economically interwoven.

China's plan is for the United
States to be at war with itself,

at least intellectually.

China's trying
to win the war of information,

and they are.

And you fear China more?

I wouldn't say that.

I would say I fear them the same

or they wouldn't be dancing

Money's easy.
Russia has money.

Russia has your money.
They print it.

So does China.
So does everyone.

[Amber]
Everything

- she said is fact.
- [Tucker] Yeah.

We all know about the honeypot.

Although the methodologies
of the biggest players vary,

their approaches
are essentially the same.

Biggest players,
in case you don't know:

Russia, China, Qatar,
Muslim Brotherhood...

Although they cannot
be assigned a nation...

Iran, and then
to a lesser degree,

you have North Korea, Venezuela,

most Gulf states,
and then some Russian proxies.

This pyramid represents
the general philosophy

of clandestine operations
against the U.S.

The broadest and least
direct action of the pyramid

is disinformation
and disruption.

Typically players
on this level are dumb,

which is just to say

that they have no knowledge
of their involvement.

This is funding organizations

on any side
of the political spectrum

to place consistent pressure

on state and local resources
through protest.

Organizations that specialize
in crowd agitation

receive substantial funding.

The focus is on disruption
of traffic routes.

A particular focus, though,
is paid

on disruption at universities.

Above that is essentially

information-bombing
on social media.

And then above that
is your entry-level espionage

involving direct
foreign influence.

This can be done through
low-level contract agents

at said universities

or through direct agitation

and suppression of individuals
on social media.

Above that is where
your real trade craft begins.

Gain leverage on an individual.

Typically,
this is done financially,

but often times you have
overt target manipulation:

Honeypotting,
as you just called it,

and then blackmail
into assisting.

This happens to researchers

in virtually any field but
particularly those researchers

that oversee projects
at universities,

defense industry employees,

and any federal employee
above a GS-12

because it is very likely

they have broad access
to federal databases.

Oh, pardon me.

I'm just a dumb
helicopter pilot,

so I have no idea what the hell
you're talking about.

What is this honeypot?

You don't know
what a honeypot is?

Do you know what a honeypot is?

Of course
I know what a honeypot is.

What?

[Joe]
A foreign agent either seduces

or drugs a target.

Sexual acts with that target
are recorded,

and those images are used
to bribe that individual

into cooperation.

[Randy clears throat]
We all know

the places to avoid
and where's safe,

so what's
with the fucking lecture?

Look.

[Tucker] Why's it got
to be a soldier at all?

Why can't it be that-that
dipshit on the school board?

- [Two Cups] Yeah, there you go.
- This asshole.

This guy, okay?

Make it this fucking guy.

Jesus Christ.

Real crack unit
you got here, Joe.

Real crack unit.

[laughs]

All right, you got a guy
on a school board,

gets honeypotted by some woman.

The stripper isn't managing
the asset. Who is?

At a lower level,
a case officer is assigned.

And at a higher level,
at my level,

I maintain the asset.

Any of these yours... Oleksa?

- No.
- What's yours?

We're not concerned about hers
right now, not yet.

Why not right now?

Well, because she's still under.

[Two Cups]
Your second tier

on your pyramid there,
the information bombing.

Are we talking about,

you know,
direct-action disinformation?

Or can-can we couple that
with misinformation?

[Amber] It's really just
anything to cloud the truth,

- fundamentally.
- Yeah.

[Amber]
I mean, you-you can see...

[Joe sighs]

She's still under.

So she says.

Why?

What possible benefit
does that serve for us?

- Keeps them from killing her.
- [sighs]

Then we WitPro her.

Or we don't.

And we trot her out
on national television

and we scream it
from the rooftops.

- Have you seen her asset list?
- [sighs]

Have you?

Yeah. Yeah, I've seen it.

- And, Kyle?
- [scoffs]

You know
I can't tell you that, Joe.

You got the same clearance I do.

- Go to SAC and request it.
- Spare me

the three fucking hours
of bullshit, would you?

You're gonna have
to look at it yourself,

but it's pretty fucking heavy.

Just tell me, Kyle.

You already said it yourself.

Someone from NSA.

JSOC.

[sighs]

Senator.

Senator?

Did you count
how many times I nodded?

I counted five.

And that is why
we can't out her.

'Cause the fucking sky falls.

Well, isn't that the goal?

Maybe.

You comfortable with the price?

The entire country doubting
the-the allegiance

of every elected official
in government?

Well, turn on the fucking news,
Kyle, we're already there.

I want
to run it up the flagpole.

- Well, look, I don't...
- Will you back me up on this?

I don't think putting her
on the news is the play,

but there may be a way to run
the rats out of the outhouse...

Well, why don't we just
discuss that en route?

You got it.

[Amber speaking indistinctly]

- You keep that woman here, okay?
- We putting her in custody?

Well, let's call it
unofficial custody.

She does not leave. She has
to go fucking take a piss,

- the whole team goes with her.
- Roger that.

[Meade]
Come on in.

Evening.

What do you got, Joe?

[sighs]

We're allowing Oleksandra
to stay under?

- [Meade] Mm-hmm.
- Correct.

What is the tactical purpose
of that?

Have you seen her dossier
of gets?

- I have not, sir.
- Pretty impressive haul.

[clears throat]

Has information or votes
they cast benefited Russia

since she snagged them?

[Westfield]
No, not in any manner

our analysts can determine, no.

All five have
publicly supported Ukraine

and voted in favor
of each aid package.

Congress has introduced.

Which isn't surprising, Joe.

Her allegiance is to Ukraine.
She's not going

to knowingly bring material harm
to her nation.

How were the assets obtained?

Four were soft, one was hard.

How soft and how hard?

[Meade]
Campaign funds for two,

heavy investment
in one's district,

and the spouse of another
runs an investment firm.

She married that firm
to a Russian investment fund.

The fourth,
the old-fashioned way.

- [Kyle exhales]
- [Westfield] It's not our job

to walk you through intel, Joe.

I think we should inform Russia
that we have their agent.

We're waiting on their call.

If we reach out, it alludes
to an interest in negotiating.

It gives them leverage.

Not the one we took.

Let them know we have her.

And inform them
through a statement

by the press secretary.

♪ Mysterious music ♪

No names, no pictures,
just a statement

that says we have apprehended
a Russian agent on U.S. soil

who has made contact
with numerous U.S. officials

and has appeared
to have used extortion

to coerce
some of those officials.

We tell them it's early
in the investigation,

and for national security,

no other information
will be released at this time.

It allows us to present
a posture of knowing everything.

What they imagine we know
will be much more

than what
we have actually ascertained.

[Kyle] It's never the crime that
gets you, it's the cover-up.

And they will try
to cover everything.

It's Whac-A-Mole, but
they're all coming out at once.

[Joe]
And we will

already have the mallet out.

What about Mrs. Ukraine?

Turn her loose and stay close.

Every contact
she has will reach out.

Every SVR agent in the region
will reach out, too.

Hunting mice by setting the barn
on fire, so to speak.

Yes, ma'am.

Of course, at the end of that,

well, you have no barn.

Who cares? It wasn't our barn
to begin with.

It's rather callous
towards our new friend.

She used us from the beginning.

We let her use us.
We used her right back.

Why stop now?

[sighs]

You will never convince me
the men at my home found me

through satellite footage
from an airport.

They were told who,
they were told where,

and they were told when.

Either she did it
or she knows who did it.

They think of themselves
as wolves.

Fine, let's throw her back
to the wolves... and find out.

Let me sleep on it.

Thank you.

[door opens]

Which way you think
he'll go on this?

He's already decided.

Eh, I think he's 50-50.

He's already decided.

You don't sleep on a "no."

[press secretary]
Yesterday evening,

FBI counterintelligence agents

apprehended an agent

of the Russian
Foreign Intelligence Service,

or SVR as it is known
to the intelligence community.

The U.S. Attorney's Office
is preparing espionage charges

stemming from evidence
implicating the agent in both

bribery schemes
and extortion schemes

against U.S.
government officials,

as well as state
and local government officials,

as well as U.S. citizens
in the private sector

in both the defense industry,

as well as the information
technologies industry.

We are withholding all names
as the investigation is ongoing.

Yes?

Where is this individual
being held?

I can't release
that information.

When will the suspect
be arraigned?

That is a question
for the attorney general.

Is the attorney general
planning a press conference?

We don't have that information
at this time.
