[Kyle] Well,
we got your boy in Ukraine.

Not 48 hours later,

senior case officer
overseeing the mission had

two Russian contract agents

at her fucking

front door.
You round-tripping for Russia?

These fucking Russians,
they're a different breed.

Don't you fucking call me that.

That's what you are.
You're a fucking Russian.

[screams]

[groans]

I'm calling a family meeting.

Okay, let me have it.

We want you to quit.

[Joe]
Girls,

I'm a soldier,
and a soldier's job

is to fight until the soldier
is unable to fight

or until the fight is over.

I'm sorry this followed me home.

Your fucking people
came after me and my family!

Well, you know what they say.

A soldier's oath is
his family's oath.

The one thing...

that made the United States
so dangerous for so long...

...was that your people believed
in the fantasy of freedom.

But now...

that fantasy is fading.

In its place, the reality

that man is not meant
to be free.

We're a pack, like the wolf.

And like the wolf,
we need a leader.

His rule can be just,
it can be fair...

...but it must be absolute.

Your people are waking up
to that reality.

They don't know
it's what they need yet.

First they must lose
everything, all order.

Then they're gonna throw away
their freedom like trash

and beg for leader.

You already did it once
with COVID.

One bad call
shattered the illusion

that your independence is yours.

Is that what Russia has, huh?

A just leader?

Fucking career KGB agent
turned dictator?

You really think
that moron's a pack leader, huh?

You're getting the shit
kicked out of you

by the most obsolete, inept

and corrupt army
in all of Central Europe.

You want to know why that is?

'Cause we put a few hundred
boots on the ground

and we stopped
your punk asses cold.

Your entire shitty, half-witted,
convict-ass army...

...using the same weapons

the Taliban shoved up
your fucking asshole in 1980.

Afghanistan is using
your weapons now.

- The weapons left behind...
- [groans]

...when you ran away.

This birdbath water drip.

It's a nasty trick.

I might have to steal that.

But spare me
the fucking lectures

on failed societies.

Okay? Russia disproved

every political theory
Marx ever made

in spectacular fashion.

You even managed
to kill more of your own people

than the whole fucking German
army ever did in the process.

A failed monarchy,
a failed democracy,

failing as a dictatorship.

The only reason
why Russia still exists

is because nobody wants

to take away
that frozen shithole from you.

But I get it.

You got to go through
the motions and try to flip me.

Be my guest.

I'll just lay back and listen.

[Joe inhales sharply]

This is not my job.

Once we get you home,

I'll show you my job.

QRF retrieved her beacon.

[Mason]
Her beacon, not her?

- That is correct.
- [Hollar] Any indication

- where she is now?
- [Meade] NSA has

a database of vehicles
that have entered

and exited the Russian embassy.

We're cross-referencing that

with state police
license readers.

What's that going to accomplish?

By now, an SVR case officer

is almost certainly
overseeing her movements.

Any senior level case officer

is going
to have diplomatic immunity.

We are cross-referencing
diplomatic plates

with PD database
to see if any were

in the proximity
of her last known location.

What is their objective?

Logistically, it's to get her
out of the States,

get her back to Russia,
where I assume

they're going to reach out to
negotiate a trade with Yurimov.

And Yurimov is in Gitmo, right?

[Westfield]
Yes, sir.

Can I assume your officers
have interviewed Mr. Yurimov?

- You can, sir.
- And did anything

of value come out
of those interviews?

Yeah. [clears throat]
We are investigating

the information
that he's provided thus far.

We expect it
to appear useful on the surface,

but most of the information
is likely planted

with the purpose
of it being offered, sir.

- Of course.
- Any valuable intel

that Yurimov holds, the Russians
are likely altering as we speak.

[Mason]
Talk us through

the worst-case scenario here.

Worst-case?

How bad
can this fucking thing get?

[Meade] SVR has some knowledge
of the Lioness program.

They even have
some limited knowledge

of, uh, specific operations,

but they don't have definitive
proof of those operations.

Joe can provide that.

[Mason]
What intelligence value

- do past operations hold?
- [Meade] None to speak of,

but that's not the purpose.

What would be the purpose?

[clears throat]

Knowledge
of specific Lioness targets

could be released publicly,

creating severe
diplomatic consequences for us

with various strategic partners
in the Middle East-- the Saudis,

- Qatar, UAE, Egypt.
- [groans]

It would greatly compromise us
in the region.

And the political damage
domestically, that's...

that is very difficult
to predict.

I mean,
what position does the UN take?

What is the position
of Congress?

Do they see this
as an opportunity

to blame the administration?

Based on the current climate,
I would certainly think so.

This is the worst-case scenario?

- [Meade] No, ma'am.
- It gets worse?

Worst-case scenario is,

Russia does not release
the information.

Russia turns her over to Iran.

Iran releases the information,
tries her...

and finds her guilty.

I need a timeline.

She is most likely
still in the D.C. area.

Moving her by vehicle is risky.

Every time they do so,
they increase the chances

that we intercept.
They're gonna need

to get her on a plane
out of the area

and then another plane
out of the United States.

24 to 36 hours,
and she is likely

on a plane to Russia indirectly.

Eh, possibly Cuba, but
that's unlikely, given the fact

that we are monitoring
every aircraft in that region.

We have FBI and CED at Dulles,

Reagan, National College Park,

- Manassas--
- [Westfield] A more reliable

method of moving human cargo,

albeit slower, is by ship.

We are moving resources
to the ports of Virginia,

Baltimore, Philadelphia.
JSOC has units in Wilmington,

Morehead City, and
the Inland Port in Charlotte.

I think it's time
to inform the president.

I... disagree.

What?

Respectfully, I disagree, sir.

I think the fewer people that
know this, the better for now.

POTUS is going to be inclined
to inform Senate Intelligence,

and then Senate Intelligence
informs 700 staffers,

and then we've just told
the whole world.

Find her, Byron.

Fallout from this shit
is limitless.

We are aware, sir.

Great.

- Thank you.

executed a Russian

And I don't feel like fucking

Let me explain what happens

when they get her
to a secure location.

They either torture the name
of every

case officer, every safe house,
every operation,

every asset,
everything that she knows,

endangering the lives

of fuck knows how many operators
we have deployed.

Our FOBs in Ukraine,
our travel routes.

[chuckles]
Every goddamn thing.

Or, and even worse,

they drop her off in Tehran,
where she's paraded around

until she's tried
and stoned to death

or hung or shot.

Or worse still,

Iran hands her over
to Hezbollah,

which paralyzes us
in the region

'cause now
they have a female U.S. citizen

convicted of Iranian war crimes.

Now the pressure's on Israel,

'cause Hezbollah's going
to demand

that Tel Aviv unlock
every prison door

and let their fucking army out.

What do we do, huh?
What do we give up

when Israel doesn't do that?

This is
how presidents lose elections,

how parties lose majority
in the House and the Senate,

how the UN starts

war crime tribunals,
'cause everybody

in the fucking world,
minus the UK, wants us weaker.

And the way the UK's going,

they're going to want it, too.

So, yeah,
I treated this like war.

And it is fucking war.

Yeah, that all sounds good,
except there's a dead body

in the airplane hangar.

Look, I'm no homicide detective,

but it sure seems like
a fucking execution to me.

All right, all right,
who's going to report it?

Huh?

Two Russian spies
who kidnapped a U.S. citizen?

[scoffs] That body was gone
before we even got back here.

And it ain't ever getting found.

It's still
a fucking execution, Kyle.

I got the tail number, didn't I?

Adhere to the ROEs in place.

Do you understand me?

I'm treating all of this
as hearsay until evidence

to the contrary
starts popping up.

And if it does, Kyle,
you are on your own.

Until that time,
both of you stand down

and go find our fucking girl.

Yes, ma'am.

Double agent in WitPro?

- Yeah.
- Bring her back.

All of their supply routes
have been in place for years.

Safe houses, travel routes,
all of it.

And just like ours,
none of it is written down.

It's memorized.
She's gonna know.

Ukrainian intelligence officer
infiltrating SVR.

Our ability to take Yurimov from
Russian-controlled territory.

It's a massive,

massive intelligence failure
on their part.

Our operations and assistance
have effectively shut down

the Russian offensive
for almost three years.

I worry
they want to embarrass us back.

I mean, they haven't accused us
of having Yurimov.

They haven't even
asked the question.

They are that embarrassed.

Joe's theater's been
the Middle East

for the entirety of her career.

She doesn't even have relevant
intelligence to give them,

but what she could provide Iran
and the opportunities

that she presents
for them and their proxies?

If Russia just hands her off,
it becomes the sole focus

of your foreign policy without
leverage until it's resolved.

And getting her back is going
to be very, very expensive.

Got an awful lot of problems.

You got any solutions?

We admit to having Yurimov.

We offer him back.

He's given us
no useful information,

and the only way to get
real information leaves him

in no condition to return.

We justify taking him
by claiming fear

of a new Russian offensive.

We use it
to negotiate a ceasefire.

We don't really give a shit
if we get one,

but it gives us
the justification

for the operation
in the first place.

That doesn't offer me
any leverage.

They could release that
to the press.

Now I got 60 Minutes
doing a story

on U.S. intelligence and
military operations in Ukraine.

The leverage is in the threat
that comes next.

If she's released to a proxy,

that presence
increases dramatically,

as does its purpose.

[sighs]
Well...

...this I'll have to discuss
with the president

and Senate Intelligence
and the Joint Chiefs.

I may point out
that none of them is aware

that we ran a capture mission
in Russia.

Very clear and very specific.

Operation name is Treasure.

Our Ukrainian asset is Badger.

Your team is Hornet.

The SMU attachment is Spider.

SVR officers are Gold,
and their assets Silver.

Now, when Russian intelligence
makes contact

with a source and then develops
that source into an asset,

that asset's identity is shared
with SVR handlers

to prevent multiple handlers
working the same person.

Now, the handler and contact,
however, is not shared.

So Badger would know
within her network

who was being recruited,
but she doesn't know

- who recruited them.

- Nothing about this is funny.
- [clears throat] Right, boss.

[stifled laugh]

Bobby.

Sorry, boss, I'm-I'm,
I'm trying. Trying, I swear.

[Joe]
Try harder.

[sighs]

[Cruz clears throat]

[all laughing]

Goddamn it.

[Tucker]
Man, come on, boss.

You can't tell me
that's not the reason

they put faces on milk cartons.

You can't tell me that.

- [laughter]

[Randy]
Oh, you have jokes?

- You have jokes.
- [Bobby] Oh, baby face.

Look at that.

Ooh, it feels so smooth.

[men conversing in Russian]

[piano playing softly]

Um, how about a vodka soda?

Heavy on the soda.

[crowd chatter]

The usual.

Thank you.

- You want to start a tab?
- No, I will pay cash.

Thank you.

No problem.

Sorry we're late.

It's fine.
We've been enjoying the show.

Putting on
quite the show yourself.

[Maxim] You don't even
hide yours anymore.

Just send in soldiers.

Yeah, well, when you show up
at my case officer's house

posing as law enforcement,
we get a little jumpy.

Thank you.

A sparkling, please?

Was that your little dance
this morning?

You call some cowboys
from who-knows-where

Russian intelligence?
Think that was us?

I know it was you.

How? How do you know?

[sighs]

I expect your politicians
to be bad liars,

- but from you, I expect more.
- No, thank you.

[Westfield]
I've told you no lies, Maxim.

- Uh, not one.
- [Meade] An SVR

intelligence officer
contacted a CIA

senior case officer
offering information

regarding SVR sources,

uh, strategic information,
contingencies, capabilities.

Not the bullshit
you've planted in Trojan horses,

but legitimate information and
assets, both here and abroad.

See? That is how you lie.

[Westfield chuckles briefly]

And for what do they do this?

What do they gain?

We're not Soviet Union,
they don't need to defect.

If they want to stay here,

they already have a passport,
they apply for a visa,

and they stay.

They quit their job with us
and start a new job.

With you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Russian citizens
have fought in your army,

in your special forces.

We're a free country now, too.

[scoffs]

Debatable.

[Maxim]
No debate.

And not the reason you call me.

You're fishing.

Why? What new game
you think we're playing?

You tell me.

I'm not wasting my time
playing this game.

You don't have anyone.

If you had somebody,
we would know.

If you turned one,
you would never tell us,

and you would never
tell the news.

So... what the fuck
are you doing?

What the fuck

♪ ominous music ♪

Let's talk about Ukraine.

- Sure.
- What do you think

you're doing there?

[Meade]
Protecting an ally

- from an authoritarian state.
- [chuckles]

Well, Ukraine is our state.

It was part of Russia

since before you were a nation.

Now it's all gangsters
and thieves.

It's our Sicily, you understand?

It relies on payoffs and bribes

from Europe, from you,
from your politicians,

your companies.

It was breadbasket of Europe.

It was our industrial center

for 250 years.

This is not your war.
It's our war.

I don't choose the wars, Maxim.
You know that.

But you fight it anyway.

I do what I'm told.

We lost something
that is very valuable

to our president.

[Westfield]
I'm sorry to hear that.

[Maxim] Mm.

We think maybe it was stolen,
this thing.

Maybe...

you know where it is?

We're gonna need
more information.

We'd be happy to help you.

Just need to know
what we're looking for.

You know.

- [short chuckle]
- What do we know?

[Maxim]
They would tell you.

They would have to.

Listen, if we can be helpful,
we'll be helpful.

Now, we'll want something
in return, but...

you have to ask for the favor.

- [Meade] Mm-hmm.
- [Maxim] Byron,

I can't ask.

- [Westfield scoffs, chuckles]
- But

if you find it, you'll know,
and we'll want it back.

Yeah.

Fair enough.

Run along now.

Oh...

it's our first day on the job.

Can't blame him for trying.

I'll see you at the office.

Mm. Sure.

Can I do another one of those?

Dad!

Your daughter didn't seem

She-She's not happy in general.
They know something's up.

Did you tell them

They can tell when I'm lying.

It's not one of my skills.

Doesn't feel like good news,
Kaitlyn.

It's not.

[sighs]
We're close, but, um...

we're still a step behind,
and time's not on our side.

So I'm gonna share with you
probably more than I should.

Um, there's three possibilities.

One, we beat the clock,
and she is home in a few days.

Two, the clock wins,
and this could take time.

- Real time.
- Well, define "real time."

Months.

Longer.

To negotiate the trade
of an officer

who is accused of espionage,

if that's what
they accuse her of.

It involves divulging
very privileged,

very precious information.

Information that can...

...that can put other officers
in danger.

And put our strategic partners

and the military presence
overseas

in harm's way.

These are
very delicate negotiations.

They can be greatly influenced

by any number of factors
beyond our control.

And what's three?

She doesn't come back
with three.

Prepare for the third.

That way,
if it doesn't come true,

relief will be your reward.

And if it does,
you're prepared.

And you can be there
for your children.

Her children.

I am so sorry
to do this to you, but...

she would want you
to be ready, Neal.

Yeah.

Which one do you think it is?

In your gut?

There's too many variables
to rely on instinct.

- What the fuck does that mean?
- It means

I don't know.

I don't fucking know.
