Previously on Homeland...

I hereby resign

the presidency of the United States.

Vice President Warner will
be sworn in as president.

You're here to leverage G'ulom,

but you're asking about Russians.

Jesus, Mike, not you, too.

What the hell'd they tell you?

That you tanked the polygraph.

Jalal... "We don't want to stop the war.

We're winning".

That's his son, Haqqani.

"But we never do".

That's the head of the Taliban
saying, "Enough of war".

Haqqani is tired of the fight, aba.

Direct talks with Berenson
could lead to a breakthrough

Well, any breakthrough
must be controlled by us

and not the United States.

Or prevent it from
happening in the first place.

Pakistani intelligence
may know we're here.

They're gonna hit the convoy.

Thank God, you're alive.

Get back, get back!

The World Trade Center, Tower Number One

is on fire!

I missed something
once before. I won't...

I can't let that happen again!

An American prisoner
of war has been turned.

You're a disgrace to your nation,

Sgt. Nicholas Brody.

You're a traitor and a terrorist,

and now it's time to pay for that.

Are you accusing me of something?

You really do not remember?

Remember what?

We may be dealing with
a compromised officer here.

You had a relationship
complicated enough to lie about.

Yeah, it's complicated.

I lost seven months of my life.

To my Russian handler?

Is our strategy working?

And you will become
the focus of an investigation

that will define the rest of your life.

That not every problem
in the Middle East

deserves a military solution.

Because this whole country
went stupid crazy after 9/11.

Carrie, you're not yourself.

I'm still putting the pieces together.

Please, God, tell me you have it.

Is there no fucking line?

I believe you.

No one else will.

I thought you were going to thank me.

For what?

Handing you Samira Noori.

That was you?

Come on, don't play dumb.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Stay.
- I can't.

- Please don't leave me.
- I have to go.

Stay.

Don't go.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

No! No!

You can't leave me here!

You can't leave me here! Don't go!

No, don't!

- Mr. Vice President.
- David.

Just catching up on this Berenson mess.

Anything new?

We'll find out when the president

finishes talking to General Ryan.

What a clusterfuck.

Yeah, you leave Washington for
36 hours, look what happens.

You were just in Columbus, right?

Watch OSU play Michigan... The Game.

Frank Gillette and I haven't missed one

since we graduated.

We may not have gone to Princeton,

but we know how to have a good time.

Thank you all

for getting here on such short notice

at such a late hour.

General Ryan has been in contact

with the Taliban delegation in Doha,

and they've confirmed that Saul Berenson

is their prisoner.

Despite our intel
implicating the I.S.I.,

Haqqani is convinced we were
behind the attempt on his life,

and he's threatening to kill Saul

at the first sign of a rescue.

Well, I realize, uh, I was out of town

when all this was decided,
but what in the hell

was the National
Security Advisor thinking?

He was trying to facilitate

a breakthrough in the negotiations.

How many red lights we
gonna let this guy run?

He's a Keane holdover anyway.

I say fire his ass.

Well, I don't know, Ben.

Shouldn't we try to get him back first?

HQ wants to keep a low profile.

- Nothing that will draw attention.
- Uh-huh.

Come in.

Glad you're not leaving
without saying good-bye.

I'm not leaving.

Not yet anyway.

I'm fairly certain I
signed a travel memo.

You're due back in Germany this evening.

Hey, Alan, give us a minute, will you?

Sure.

Yevgeny Gromov...

is here in Kabul.

Aren't you at all
curious what he's up to?

Whatever it is, we can't touch him.

Orders from on high... no contact,

no officer access, not
even at arm's length.

I'm aware. He contacted me.

Last night at the club, he
put himself in front of me,

said he was the one who gave
us the lead on Samira Noori.

Any idea why he would
do something like that?

It's hard to say for sure,

but I think we're obligated
to find out, don't you?

You realize we're gonna need
consent from headquarters

to follow up.

Not necessarily.

Not if we wait for
him to reach out again.

Are you so sure he will?

He already has, twice in secret.

Clearly there's something on his mind.

Since when is this even a debate?

Russian intelligence
is knocking on our door.

It's more complicated
than that, and you know it.

Yeah, it's complicated! I
lost seven months of my life!

You look me in the eye and tell me

I don't get a shot at
some operational payback.

I guess I could fail to
report the contact last night

and call the next one, if it
happens, a chance encounter.

That's a good plan.

You're finally getting
the hang of this job.

48 hours.

If he's not in touch by then,

you're on your way back to Germany.

Fair enough.

It wasn't us. If it was, you'd be dead.

Arrogant as ever.

I was on the street trying to save you.

Your men saw me.

My men are dead.

They were murdered by the I.S.I.

Who couldn't have
known about our meeting

because I did not tell them.

Well, someone did.

Someone you confided in.

Someone you trust.

You have a traitor in your camp.

- Enough.
- You read my letter.

I took as big a risk
coming here as you did.

Enough!

Your death would have
served me no purpose.

The opposite.

Don't worry.

Any doubts about your leadership

will be resolved at the Shura.

What makes you so sure?

They remember what your father forgot.

That without me, there is no Taliban.

Hello.

Jalala.

Speak English so we are not understood.

Amadullah said there was an
assassin sent by the Americans.

He told me you were dead.

My men went ahead as a precaution.

Four are murdered.

Thank God you're alive.

The danger isn't over.

You must come at once.

Where are you now?

With our cousins, north of Peshawar.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

He wants me by his side.

Then you must go to him.

What if he thinks it was me?

You have to convince him otherwise.

He'll figure it out.

Not if you keep your wits about you.

You and I are the only ones who know.

And what about this meeting...

the one we're having right now?

He'll find out about that for sure.

Then tell him the truth.

Tell him I came to talk to you

about consolidating your
power in the wake of his death.

Your time will come, Jalal.

Until then, you need
to be your father's son.

Change keywords.

National Security Advisor.

Hostage.

Ransom.

Search.

- Hey.
- I got him.

Don't fight it! Just let it happen!

Just let it happen! Let it happen!

- Chill the fuck out!
- Get the fuck off of me!

- The shirt!
- I got it, go, go!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

You fucking freaks!

- Is that all you got?
- Hey, Max, chill out!

Chill, chill. He's
going up to the firebase.

He just needed a hardcore hit.

Sorry, man, I had to.

How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm not your fucking Buddha!

Don't say that. You're gonna jinx it.

Oh, yeah?

I just got my boss taken prisoner.

How fucking lucky is that?

I'm Carrie Mathison.

I was told something
was dropped off for me.

Of course, ma'am.

Contact was made the
same way as before...

kid on a bike passes the message

to one of the contractors
guarding the perimeter.

- Just an address?
- And a time.

Zero six thirty tomorrow morning.

Fifty-two hundred Asmayi Road.

That's the Abdul Kahn Mosque.

Just across the street from
the Ministry of Finance.

The handwriting's a match.

There's no reason to believe
this is anybody but him.

It's an odd choice for
a rendezvous, though.

Not if you're considering
coming over to our side.

Is that what you think?

That Yevgeny Gromov is recruitable?

I'm beginning to.

I mean, first, the
unsolicited help with G'ulom.

Now this.

Huh.

It's Kabul, Carrie.

You're gonna need backup regardless.

What do you think, three teams on foot?

Minimum, plus a rotation of vehicles.

You might as well put me back
on the plane to Germany, then.

Come on, Carrie, you
know I can't let you

hunt alone on this one.

He'll be watching.

He'll make our people in two seconds,

and if he's the least bit skittish,

the chance will be lost.

Hey, it's your station,
Mike. It's your call.

You know what I would do.

If we think she was
compromised in Russia...

Why would we give her the go-ahead

to meet with a Russian?

I think I just answered my own question.

To get her to incriminate
herself, right?

Right, which is how come I
was pushing so hard for backup.

We need eyes and ears
on her the whole time.

- What about a bug?
- What about it?

Any chance you could
slip one into her purse?

- Carrie's purse?
- Yeah.

Uh, highly unlikely.

Not buying the friendship routine, huh?

No, she is, we're just not
braiding each other's hair yet.

Parabolic it is, then.

Tell her one team in a van
parked where no one can see.

- Hello?
- Tasneem.

- Who's this?
- It's Jalal.

- What the hell are you doing?
- We have a problem.

You're on an open line.

I told you never to
call me on an open line.

Tasneem? Tasneem?

Mind if I join?

Not at all.

You ever sleep?

Is it that obvious?

You're never in your room.

I'm right next door.
Walls are like paper.

So, uh, what happens tomorrow?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Let's say Yevgeny asks to defect.

What's the procedure?

That he won't do.

Why not? I thought you said...

I said he was a candidate for
recruitment, not defection.

The last thing a field
guy like Yevgeny wants

is a new identity and
a condo in Scottsdale.

You know him better
than anybody, I guess.

Is that what Mike told you?

No, I just assumed.

Don't assume.

What has he told you?

Not much.

Come on.

Your long stay in
Russia raised some flags.

Are you spying on me, Jenna?

Mike send you up here
to take my temperature?

No.

I've met Yevgeny Gromov
exactly five times in my life.

Two of those times have
happened right here in Kabul

over the past few days.

For all I know...

he's staging this whole event
just to throw more shade on me

and do what he does best...

spread rumor and innuendo,

divide us against ourselves.

Why even agree to meet with him, then?

'Cause I could be wrong.

He could just as easily
be the genuine article.

How you gonna know which it is?

That's the thing... you never really do.

Not a 100%, anyway.

You're free to go. No one will stop you.

Wait!

Wait.

What's happened?

What is this place?

Badonbaay.

It means "where the clouds end".

My father used to bring me here.

There, that's where I grew up,

at the end of the valley.

Afghanistan.

My unlucky country.

It was Jalal who tried
to have me killed.

He's the youngest of my four sons,

the only one who's still alive.

Yes, I know.

I was hoping for something more for him

than war and death.

It's not too late.

Anybody else would be dead already.

Surely you can make an exception

for your own child.

Not without compromising my command.

No, the only other
option is to step down.

Don't do that.

Maybe it's time.

Some have said as much.

There are many who would take my place.

None who have the power or influence

to end the war.

You overstate my standing.

Is that why they call
you "the Arrow of God"?

I'm...

just a man.

Then you are a man like
Faisal was to the Saudis,

Kemal to the Turks.

Where the fuck is he?

Still no sign.

He's 15 minutes late.

Any chance he made you?

We're pretty hidden up here.

Any chance she made you and warned him?

I don't see how.

We've been on her since
she got out of the taxi.

Hasn't even looked up in our direction.

Stand by.

Standing by.

Listen to me.

Another Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

will be never won on the battlefield.

You don't know that.
How can you say that?

The West won't allow it,

no matter what the
I.S.I. is telling you.

Then we will outlast them, Father.

We will outlast them.

No.

No.

We are just strong enough

never to lose

and just weak enough never to win.

So you've decided.

What choice do I have but
to accept your decision?

You could do it as a good soldier...

and a good son.

At the end of a rope?

With a gun to my head?

What do you say now, Jalala?

Will you join me on this new path?

I will try...

Father...

for you.

Come.

We have much to discuss.

Another ten minutes, and I'm calling it.

Copy that.

Well?

I don't buy it.

Why make the whole thing up?

Because she didn't want
to go back to Germany.

Look at her.

She's just as bummed he
didn't show as we are.

It's an act.

She must know we're watching her,

or at least suspect.

That doesn't make her a liar.

She reported the contact, didn't she?

What the hell?

Mike, look.

Right on cue.

You knew?

The minute I read the time and place.

Your people, do they know?

They do now.

Are you getting this?

I can't make out a word they're saying.

Negative, problem is we're
aimed right at a wall of sound.

- Fix it.
- We're trying.

Where are we going?

We'll talk by the fountain.

I want to make double
sure they can't hear us.

What's so amusing?

Just admiring the tradecraft.

What do you want?

Come on, admit it... you're
a little pleased to see me.

You know, "pleased" isn't the
first word that comes to mind.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

Apology is in order.

I didn't mean to leave
your life like that.

Well, it was crowded.

I assumed you didn't want to be seen.

No, not... not at the bar. In Moscow.

At the asylum.

I'm sorry I left you
alone in that place.

So... so what was Samira
Noori, then... penance?

Yeah, sort of.

And Roshan Shadman?

Who's that?

Tied to a truck

and dragged through the
streets of Ghazni to his death?

Sorry, I don't know who that is.

Tell that to his widow,
to his 12-year-old child.

I can see you're angry, but
I had nothing to do with that.

Well, forgive me, but
you're full of shit.

Don't think I don't know
what you're really doing.

You're wrong.

I really was trying to just...

just pick up where we left off.

Right, whatever that means.

You really do not remember?

Remember what?

Remember what?

I saved your life...

for one thing.

You were trying to hang yourself

with a rope made from your bedsheets.

I hadn't seen you in months,
I got there, and by pure luck...

If I was there a minute
later, just a minute later,

you would have been gone.

And after that, I managed to get you

back on your meds for a couple weeks.

There was a birch forest
right near the hospital.

You really liked walking there.

It's true.

Turns out we had a lot to talk about.

Really? Like what?

Like your relationship
with Nicholas Brody.

Tell me something you
didn't just read in my file.

You had a daughter with him.

Franny.

You slipped her head underwater

in the bath.

There was a moment when
you actually considered

drowning your own child.

Shh.

And now they aren't saying a word.

Fuck.

I have to go.

How much of what they did say
are we gonna be able to recover?

I'm not sure.

I'll get the techs working on it

once we're back at the station.

Make it a first priority.

- David.
- Mr. President.

We may have caught a break.

Haqqani released Saul a
little over an hour ago.

What happened?

It turns out Haqqani's
son was an I.S.I. asset.

They promised him keys to the kingdom.

If he killed Daddy?

Something like that.

Does this mean Daddy might be willing

to negotiate after all?

Looks that way.

I need you to talk Saul through some

of the stickier points
of the deal just in case.

He's got to know where
he can compromise,

where to hold the line.

He's expecting your call.

What is it, David?

Last night I asked the vice president

about an unscheduled trip to Columbus.

He said he was there for a football game

with Frank Gillette.

So?

So he neglected to mention
that every other major donor

in the country was also there.

It was a who's who of heavy hitters.

He's fundraising for his side.

Not much we can do about that.

Or positioning himself.

Positioning himself?

Well, you're aware Ohio
voters approved a proposition

to move up the state's primary.

They're now number two in
line after the Iowa caucuses.

No vice president has ever challenged

a sitting president, David.

No vice president's ever
been from the opposing party.

Not for 150 years, anyway.

Look, the country was
tearing itself apart.

You reached across the
aisle to bridge the divide,

but those fault lines run deep.

They're still active.

And Ben Hayes is in the perfect
position to exploit them.

Has he put a poll in the field?

Not yet.

Well...

let me know when he does.

Everything we've talked
about so far falls apart

without a timeline for
Taliban disarmament.

We disarm when there are
no more foreign troops

in Afghanistan.

National Unity Government
will never accept

that order of events,

and neither will the United States.

If you're serious about
a political settlement,

first you must agree to a mechanism

for decommissioning your weapons.

- What do I get in return?
- A lot.

Amnesty for your fighters,

guaranteed positions
in the new government,

and a clean break from
the Pakistan military,

who's held you hostage all these years.

You also gain the power of legitimacy.

No longer identified as
a terror organization,

you can start to enjoy the comforts

of political privilege.

Your good friends in Saudi Arabia

looking to fund the
movement can do so legally.

Your wealth and influence
will actually grow and expand.

Sometimes I'm thinking...

I just want to go
home while I still can.

That too.

Okay.

Okay?

I agree.

We have a deal, then?

You and I...

known each other a long time.

I'm counting on you to make sure

America lives up at
its end of the bargain.

It will.

Then, yes, we have a deal.

And you'll declare an immediate
country-wide cease fire

as we discussed?

Starting tomorrow morning.

What's wrong?

I'm worried I made a mistake with Jalal.

By letting him go?

Hmm.

By not putting his head in a bag

and sending it to his fighters
in the field as a warning.

Hey, what's this?

What's it look like?

You seeing this, Sarge?

Christ sakes, leave the man alone.

You can't be serious, bro.

I'm on a chopper back to
Bagram in a couple hours.

No way.

What about the Pakistan
border, patrolling the airwaves?

It's all on automatic collection now.

What about your boss? He's
still out there somewhere.

You can't... you can't
just give up on him.

- He's been released.
- When?

This morning.

That's fucked up.

Soto, relax.

You're gonna give yourself a stroke.

- Get over it.
- You get over it.

Haven't you noticed?
Dude's been here a week.

Not a single IED, RPG, mortar,
rocket, sniper, nothing.

I'm not saying it ain't weird.

It's weirder than weird.

We shouldn't even be talking about it.

Well, nobody's going anywhere anyhow.

How's that?

We got some weather coming in.

What?

Yeah, it's gonna get nasty.

All air traffic in the
mountains is grounded.

Usually takes a couple days to clear.

Oh.

Thank you, God.

Thank you.

- Come on.
- Where?

Berenson's been waiting for you.

Saul's here?

In the SCIF talking to the president.

Apparently there's been a
breakthrough in the negotiations.

... our government to the process.

Without that, we wouldn't even be here.

Is that you, Ms. Mathison?

Um, it is, sir.

Glad you could join us.

And it's nice to finally meet you.

Thank you, sir.

- Hello, Carrie.
- David.

We were just discussing next steps.

To catch you up, Haissam
Haqqani has agreed

in principle to the
terms and the timelines

laid out in the Doha Framework.

Not only that, he's
committed to a ceasefire.

That should buy us some time

to hash out the outstanding issues.

One of which is to sell this
peace to the American people.

Well, I think the prospect
of ending our longest war

would enjoy broad support.

Well, not when it's twisted
into a partisan issue

made to look like we're
capitulating to terrorists.

Seeing as you were one of
the architects of the policy,

we thought you might have some ideas.

Well, I can tell you

what Elizabeth Keane was planning to do.

Get out in front of the debate.

Come here to Afghanistan
and make the case

directly to the men and women

who put their lives
on the line every day.

You're talking about
taking a secret trip,

making a surprise announcement?

Followed by a joint press conference

with President Daoud at the Arg Palace.

Hmm.

I'm just saying, win over the military,

and you're halfway there.

It also has the benefit of good optics.

Flying into a war zone,
rallying the troops,

and not looking anything
remotely like surrender.

Sounds like you've made
this argument before.

I have, sir.

Well, I appreciate the bluntness.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd
like a few minutes alone

with my National Security Advisor.

Yes, sir.

Saul, Carrie...

Thank you, David.

Talk to me, Saul.

Well, sir, the best
part you've already heard.

Hey, slow down.

What's the hurry?

I want to write up the
contact with Yevgeny

while it's still fresh.

Where'd you disappear to?

I'm sorry?

If you're so eager to
write up the contact,

where'd you go afterwards?

You were off the grid
for more than 90 minutes.

I was walking.

Walking?

It wasn't so easy seeing him again,

if you must know.

I went up to the university
to clear my head.

You said he was recruitable.

Is he?

Just give me an hour,

and you'll have the entire
conversation verbatim.

It's a simple question,
Carrie. Yes or no?

He's feeling underappreciated, okay?

He and Mirov were demoted for letting us

get Simone Martin out of Moscow.

We made them look pretty damn silly.

He said that?

Not in so many words,

but he did call Afghanistan
the penalty box.

Well, that doesn't sound unpromising.

Provided it's not all
some grand deception.

- Where'd you leave it?
- In his court.

Either way, I don't think

I should be getting on
a plane anytime soon.

How about we talk
after I read the report?

Sure.

- Ms. Mathison?
- Yes.

- Come with us, please.
- Who are you?

Military police, ma'am.

My good friend President Daoud

has agreed to negotiate for peace.

It's time for you to come home.

They expect us to stand here,
and applaud the result?

- Piotrowski?
- Yes.

That's your ride.

Taliban.

- Target, 2 o'clock.
- Clear to engage.
