Engaging target.

Firing.

We just took down a Russian MiG,
Mr. President.

Safe to say we are engaged
in a shooting war with Russia.

We're enforcing a no-fly zone.

We just took down two more MiGs,
sir.

I think our message
is being received.

No doubt.

This is turning into a rout,
Mr. President.

(explosions continue)

Shall I

reach out to the Russian
foreign minister and

see if maybe they're
ready to talk it over?

Not yet.

We have the Russians'
battle plans. I assume

the Ukrainians have already been briefed,
General Kohl.

Yes, sir.

Their forces are
spread over Luhansk,

Kharkiv, and Mariupol,

the three Ukrainian
cities listed in the Russian

order of battle as
prospective first-strike targets

in a ground offensive.
With American advisors

and equipment
embedded in their ranks.

If Maria Ostrov
wants to escalate,

it sounds like we're ready.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Goodwin,
this is Arkady

from the Russian Fur Exchange.

Good to hear from you.

We have your second order

shipping in 24 hours.

Any special instructions?

Monday delivery.

Thank you.

You need to get me
out of Russia. Please.

Please.

I hear you, Arkady. I should go.

Please! Get me out...

Get me out of Russia.
Just get me out.

Hey, hey, listen to me.

I'm taking care of it.

Now hang up the damn phone.

(door opens)

So?

Well, just briefed the DNI.

Good,
now you need to brief the president.

Y... Well,
Director Ware's already on his way

to the Oval Office. And
Dmitri is an incredible asset.

Yeah, we need to talk about

exfiltrating him,
because once the Russians are ambushed

I hear you, yeah. at Mariupol,
they will know there's a mole

in their upper ranks,
and then... Yes.

It won't be long before they... Henry,
Henry, I agree with you.

My next stop is CIA.

Director Ware already
approved the exfiltration.

I... Clock's ticking,
I got to go.

(indistinct conversations)

What have you got, Ephraim?

HUMINT says the
Russians are planning

a massive assault on Mariupol,

one of the three cities on
their list of contingencies.

What exactly is the source

of this intelligence,
Director Ware?

It's from our asset inside
Maria Ostrov's inner circle.

I think at this point we
can share with the secretary

that this asset

is being handled by her husband.

Never a dull moment.

DALTON: How confident are
Dr. McCord and DIA in this asset?

WARE: Highly, sir. Good.

Recommend moving all
nonessential resources

from Kharkiv and Luhansk to
Mariupol as quickly as possible.

Yes, sir.

Ephraim,
could you wait a minute?

Of course.

As you'd expect,
our NATO allies are eager for us

to end this conflict
before it expands.

Yes. Chancellor Schulz is
at the top of my call sheet.

Europe's concern
is understandable.

Russia's still
withholding oil and gas,

wreaking havoc on
their infrastructure.

So let's propose a
cease-fire before hundreds

of Ukrainian and Russian
soldiers die at Mariupol.

That's on Maria Ostrov.

I'm not going to appease her,
Bess.

What kind of message
would that send?

That we want to
tamp down hostilities,

put this genie back
in the bottle. I...

Let's give Ostrov a way out.

Why should we?

We have the strategic
advantage here.

And we're going to
take it. But let's not

forget how we got here.

We cyber-attacked Moscow.
So what would you propose?

Unprovoked.
Telling the world that.

Bozek duped us into attacking

the Russians... I'm just
saying it's in the mix.

So we would get behind Ukraine?

It complicates the situation.

I can't live in complications.

The world doesn't
know any of that.

All they know is that the U.S.

is standing up to Russian
aggression. Which is

a righteous cause,
no matter the warped path

that brought us here. Well,
righteous that may be, but after Mariupol,

Maria Ostrov may
send in a million troops

that will overrun
Ukrainian and U.S. forces,

and no amount of
intel will stop her then.

I understand your position,
Bess.

But no talk of a cease-fire.

Are we clear?

Yes, sir.

Uh, in the meantime,
I-I would like to see

the profiling that CIA
has on Maria Ostrov.

How much have we got, Ephraim?

Mrs. Ostrov's a newbie
on the world scene.

Not a whole lot.

This is exactly my point.

But I was there when
she made a play for power.

She does not strike me as
someone to be trifled with.

Due respect, I saw the video.

So she gave a good speech.

Intelligence is of
the opinion that

Maria Ostrov is a puppet
of the Russian generals.

A popular prop with
the right last name.

With no political or
military background

and very little
formal education.

As far as we're concerned,
she's a former beauty queen

who married up.
That's all right.

I'd still like to get into it.

Give the secretary of state
whatever she wants, Ephraim.

Of course, Mr. President.

Great, thanks.

♪ I feel the night explode

♪ When we're together

This is the woman who's
starting World War III?

Looks like she had
a little work done

between Teen Miss
Volgograd and Miss Moscow.

Nose job. Breast augmentation.

You nervous about saying
breasts or just objectifying women?

Hey,
she's the one chopping up her body

and putting herself
into beauty pageants.

If you're trying to land
a major world leader,

you better to work it.

I disagree.

I think Pavel Ostrov
would have done

anything she told
him to. Nose job,

boob job or not. The woman did

seize the throne of one of
the most powerful nations

on the planet.

Without breaking a sweat.

♪ Tell it from the stars

♪ Tell it to my heart

So what else do we have on her?

Like Director Ware said,
not much.

It really looks like
she married up

and never looked back.

That's not helpful.

Her family's working
class from Volgograd.

Father worked in a sawmill.

Yet at 19 she moved into

a pretty sweet
apartment in Moscow.

Yeah, but she was a beauty queen

and working as a model. I mean,
what's so strange about that?

Modeling locally in Moscow
couldn't cover her rent,

let alone lifestyle. Okay?
NADINE: Did she have a boyfriend?

JAY: Can't find anything.
She was first lady

for six years. If she did,
it would have come out.

Unless she didn't want it to.

Or she had a sugar daddy.

Someone paid for that surgery,

yet there's no record of it.

Again,
meaning she didn't want there to be one.

This is all mildly interesting,

but I don't see how
it helps our situation.

ELIZABETH: I don't either.

But events can easily
spin out of control.

If there is something that we
can use to leverage this woman,

I want it. Short of that,

I want to understand her better.

Unfortunately, all her

financial documents
going back to that time

are through numbered
Swiss bank accounts.

Well,
that's pretty sophisticated

for a simple girl
from Volgograd.

Yeah. But good luck

getting anything
out of the Swiss.

That is so weird that
you would just say that.

You're making it my job to
get something out of the Swiss?

Find a way.

(grunting)

Oh. Did you strain your back?

Ah, of course.

Well,
now it is officially Christmas season.

Yeah,
if we make it to Christmas.

A little dramatic there, dude.

There are memes all over
BuzzFeed about Russia

going nuclear over Ukraine.

Yeah,
I saw one with Maria Ostrov

shooting nuclear
missiles out of her eyes

at Mom and President Dalton. HENRY: Well,
that's subtle.

They're saying that
this our generation's

Cuban Missile Crisis.

Yeah, and that turned out fine.

Okay, listen,
guys. I know it's scary.

But there are a lot of good people,
including Mom,

who are working really hard to
make sure we get to celebrate

plenty more
Christmases. That said...

Listen, do not

decorate this tree
until Mom gets home.

Boo! (phone chimes)
If we want to avoid.

World War III here.

Hmm. Boo.

Okay? Hmm. Not sure if this

is good or terrifying.

JASON: What? It's a news alert.

It's about a battle
that happened in some

Ukrainian city... Marr... upol.

What about it? Says.

"Ukraine,
aided by American advisors,

overwhelmed the Russian forces

and beat them back in a
decisive blow to Russia."

Boom.

Um, oh,
you know what? I have a faculty meeting.

I got to go.

At 9:00 at night?
See you guys later.

Yeah, we're a freak show.

Hey, hi. Hey, babe.

Hey,
have you heard about Mariupol?

Yeah. It's a big win
for Ukraine. And us.

Thanks to your asset. You...

I was finally
officially read in.

Then you know he's
pretty much blown.

You haven't gotten him out?

No, I... Go.

Go, go, go. Okay.

Oh, wait, take this,
take this, take this,

it's freezing out
there. Good night.

Hey, gang. Hi. Hey.

Wow, look at that.

Hey,
at least we know the secretary of state

thinks the world is safe
enough to leave work.

JASON: Okay.

On that note,
I'm gonna go play Call of Duty.

Wha... That's a great way
to take your mind off war.

Mom,
Does Dad have a secret job or something?

What? No.

You people are the worst liars.

Oh, I... I-I just...

I just want to
decorate the tree.

I know. String popcorn?

Yes. Yeah.

So why aren't you
running away from me

like the rest of the family?

Well, um... I met a guy.

Really?

Yes.

Do tell. (chuckles)

Just one date, settle down.

But we are in
negotiations for the second.

I'm gonna need a little more

than that. (chuckles)
Okay. Um...

His name is Jareth,

and he's auditing
my psych class,

but he is a graduate
student doing applied physics.

He's a total brainiac.

He's British.

And he's nice. He's got big eyes

and a really cute
butt. He's tall...

Da.

(protesting in Russian)

(shouting continues in distance)

(door shuts)

HENRY: Hey.

I just got off the phone
with Dmitri Petrov.

He'd like to know why
we're hanging him out to dry.

And so would I. The
situation has changed.

(scoffs) You said that the
DNI signed off on the exfiltration

and you were
coordinating with CIA.

Why would that change?

Things are fluid.

In case you haven't noticed,
we're in a war.

I noticed that we crushed
the Russians at Mariupol

based on the intelligence
that Dmitri provided.

I know. You know? Do
you also know Maria Ostrov

arrested her own
assistant for it?

Because it's only a matter
of time before they figure out

that he's the wrong guy
and they come after Dmitri.

So I really don't
care what's changed.

We need to get
him out of there now.

(car door shuts)

(engine starts)

Unfortunately,
we don't have the resources

in place to do that. Okay.

We are the most powerful
nation this world has ever known.

We can't get this
kid on a plane?

The Pentagon has pulled
most of our assets in country.

Until the situation improves,
I'm afraid Dmitri is caught

behind enemy lines. Get him to our
embassy in Moscow or to a safe house.

We must have someone
that can pick him up.

Send me in, for God's sake.

But don't let this kid
who's done everything

we've asked of him
die for no reason.

I'm sorry.

Are you?

Are you really? Because
it's starting to seem

like that was part
of the plan all along.

When we first met,
I told you that Intelligence

was a vast network.

You're at the bottom
of that flowchart.

Now it's your duty
to stand down.

(engine starts)

Sounds like your boss
and President Dalton

have gotten themselves into
quite a contretemps with Russia.

That's one way of looking at it,
Mr. Ambassador.

Another is that we're staring

down the barrel
of a nuclear war.

I speak for all of Switzerland
in saying that I sincerely hope

we can avoid that.

Of course. But, unfortunately,
bare-knuckled diplomacy

and a lot of dead soldiers

are most likely going
to decide this one.

What do you want?

Belrose Banc Suisse

has Maria Ostrov's
entire financial history

going back 20 years.

In private, numbered accounts.

We'd like all of it.

Switzerland has cooperated
with the U.S. when asked

about the financial records
of American citizens.

But for a foreign national,

a head of state,
no less? I know it's a big ask.

It's impossible.

I also know you'd like a
Winter Olympics in Gstaad.

My government's support would
go a long way toward sticking

that landing.

A lovely offer.

But the Federal Council
will laugh in my face.

We will not participate
in such improprieties.

Impropr... Really?

Hey, we're not done.

I know historically your
little mountain fiefdom

has managed to stay neutral

in the middle of every
European conflict.

Two world wars, Fascists, Nazis.

That worked out great for you.

With millions of people
from other countries

dying for your freedom.

But, see, now,
now there are B-2 bombers,

EMP strikes, ICBMs

with nuclear payloads!
(speaks French)

This time,
the chaos is taking you down, too.

So if preventing World
War III doesn't motivate you,

how about a little
naked self-interest?!

(elevator dings)

Ma'am.

I know. I know. Every NATO ally

is gunning for a cease-fire.

They're calling me at home.

How do they even
get that number?

This isn't about the cease-fire.

Oh, crap. That thing.

It's Maria Ostrov.
Five minutes ago.

MARIA: America claims Russia

hacked President Dalton's
Air Force One plane.

But, really,
it was the United States

and Ukraine colluding together.

These devious nations
created a fake hack story

as a pretense for America's
imperialist aggression

and to keep ethnic Russians

in Eastern Ukraine imprisoned

by the criminal
Bozek administration.

I challenge the warmonger
President Dalton to deny it.

Russia will not
be intimidated...

That's enough. I get the gist.

How do you want to respond?

By resigning and
crawling under a rock.

But since that's not an option,

let's do a full
staff meeting now.

Before I get summoned by
our warmongering president.

Jay's still meeting with
the Swiss ambassador.

Jay. Jay.

Mr. Ambassador. Bonjour. Madam Secretary,
your policy man

needs a lesson in diplomacy.

Jay's very passionate. If
it makes any difference,

he yells at me, too.

But here's the thing.

Events are unfolding quickly,
and we need every advantage

we can get. Specifically,
Maria Ostrov's bank records.

You might have noticed
we're pretty good at hacking,

though I'm not admitting
anything about what happened

in Moscow. But we're
gonna get those records

one way or the other. And given

the state of the
world right now,

I think you want to
stay on our good side.

So you tell that to
your Federal Council.

Thanks so much for coming in.

I'd say pardon my French,
but... Things just got

real complicated,
and I have to go listen

to the president
freak out right now.

So you just keep the heat on the Swiss,
okay? Oui, oui.

Madam Secretary... White House.

Now. Way ahead of you.

And I'm obsolete.

How the hell did Russia find
out that Ukraine was involved

in the Air Force One hack?

Do we have a leaker,
Director Ware?

We're investigating, sir,

though it could've come
from the Ukrainians.

Well, as much as I would
love to put someone in front

of a firing squad for this,

the real question is,
where do we go from here?

Our official response

is to deflect any questions

and say that any
pertinent information

remains classified.

So, basically,
an admission that it's all true.

Thanks, Ephraim.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Madam Secretary.

(door opens)

(door shuts)

I need some air.

I'm guessing

our allies aren't even
pretending to support us

on this anymore. We can't

continue fighting if we
look like the aggressor.

You want to signal
we're open to peace talks.

The French, Germans,

the British,
and just about every other NATO ally

is pushing hard for
a summit in Geneva.

From a position of weakness.

I'm not so sure that's true.

My read:

Maria Ostrov got
frustrated on the battlefield,

so she made a lateral move

and she hit us on
the diplomatic front.

You think she's ready to deal.

I think every minute she doesn't

order an all-out assault
and flatten every inch

of Eastern and Western Ukraine
is reason for encouragement.

Okay.

If the Russians agree,
we'll go to the table.

Drag the Ukrainians with us.

Yeah.

Chronological order. Elizabeth.

That's it. Thanks. Okay.

Hey. I was in the middle
of planning a peace summit

when you called.
This won't take long.

So much for the victory lap

about getting the
Russians to come along.

And if you say that's my job,
I'm gonna punch you in the nose.

You get 'em to sign the damn treaty,
I'll do pirouettes.

Madam Secretary,
I believe you're acquainted

with Dr. Henry McCord. Hi, babe.

Hi. Yeah,
we've met once or twice.

And this is Jane Fellows,
his, uh, handler with DIA.

His handler. Of course.

Madam Secretary.

I'm glad to see you
don't know who I am.

We actually prefer it that way.

Oh. Uh...

so why do I need to know
you now? I understand

that Mr. Jackson and the
president recently read you

into your husband's work with us

handling Captain Dmitri Petrov.

Hell of an asset.

Whose time is
quickly running out.

We couldn't exfiltrate him from Moscow,
but we caught a break.

Petrov will be accompanying
General Doroshevich

to your peace talks in Geneva.

Sounds like a friendlier
environment to bring him in.

What do you need
from me? Just take

your husband to Geneva with you.

He's the only
American Petrov trusts.

So Henry's cover
will be as arm candy?

Well, look at the guy.

I can be there to pick
up Petrov personally.

Easy as that.

You seem pretty comfortable
with all this spy stuff.

I married one.

I'm glad you're
getting your guy out.

Me, too. I-I find the whole

"not getting personally
invested" thing challenging.

I know.

It's one of the many
things I love about you,

Dr. Henry McCord.

That and your total
arm-candy-ness.

(door shuts)

Want to make out
in the rose garden?

Maybe I can score a key
to the Lincoln Bedroom.

Oh, yeah. Mmm.

(phone vibrates) Oh. Oh.

HENRY: Okay.

Rain check?

Rain check.

So, what?

You found corruption in Maria
Ostrov's financial records?

Nope.

Better.

Okay,
you guys are kind of freaking me out

with the "cat that ate the
canary" looks. What's...

What's better than corruption?

Try murdering Russia's
beloved president.

Murder? A-As in...
(chuckles) murder?

Pavel Ostrov had
an embolism. He did.

Okay. Let's hear it, Columbo.

Meet Dr. Yakov Maklovsky.

Maria Ostrov's plastic surgeon.

DAISY: As far as we can tell,
he was

her sponsor when she
started out as a beauty queen.

We think that he gave her
the rhinoplasty and the...

boob augmentation.

BLAKE: Which is
probably how they met.

He also built his practice on

the open secret that he
helped turn her into Miss Russia.

The trail of wire transfers
that Maria made to the guy

extends over the next 20 years.

For nips, tucks, Botox.

Okay. Get-get to
the murder part.

Two months ago,
Maria makes a million dollar "donation"

to Maklovsky's
clinic. A week later,

Pavel Ostrov goes missing.

But he wasn't really missing.

Right. DIA uncovered
that he was getting

a tummy tuck in a
Moscow hospital.

That same intel
reveals that his surgeon

was none other
than Dr. Maklovsky.

Uh, interesting

but that's a pretty
tenuous connection. Well,

does it make it a
little less tenuous

if the day after Ostrov died

Maria transferred
another million dollars

into Maklovsky's account?

A little. That's
a lot of rubles.

Well,
it would be very nice to get this...

Maklovsky in a room, huh?

That's gonna be hard.
DAISY: He's dead.

Killed in a violent
mugging in Moscow

one week after
Pavel Ostrov died.

Okay, but wait a second.

We still don't have anything
that directly connects Maria

or Maklovsky... Except this.

DIA's source in the hospital
was able to get us a list

of every prescription that
Maklovsky wrote during

that two-week period,
including one for Progestafil.

A rarely used, injectable,
blood coagulant.

NIH said that in extreme doses,

it could cause an embolism

in someone who
recently had surgery.

Official reports say
Mr. Ostrov died in his sleep.

Meaning, if we're right,

it's probable that the
death blow was delivered

by Maria Ostrov.

ELIZABETH: So,

Maria Ostrov wants to
get rid of her husband

so that she can take over
the Russian presidency.

And she uses Pavel's
surgery as an opportunity

to enlist her old doctor
friend to set things up

so that her husband appears

to die of post-surgical
complications.

And then she pays
the good doctor

two million dollars
for his troubles.

And Maria could easily

have had her goons take
the good doctor out, leaving

no one left alive who
knows what she did.

Pavel Ostrov was
the Ronald Reagan

of recent Russian history.

He was their most
popular leader of the last,

oh, 50 years, so...

If it ever got out that Maria killed him,
she'd be done.

The problem is...
it's all circumstantial.

All right,
see if you can get your hands

on Pavel Ostrov's autopsy.

If we want to stick it to
Maria Ostrov in Geneva,

we're gonna need proof.

(siren blaring,
indistinct chatter)

ELIZABETH: Oh,
you got to be kidding me.

President Bozek sent
Foreign Minister Melnik

to represent
Ukraine in his place.

At his country's most
consequential moment,

Bozek bails.

Just like he did
from his damn plane.

Maybe he's scared we'll
ship him to The Hague.

Well, he should be.

Let's just hope

that Melnik and the
Ukrainians are ready to play ball.

Don't worry about it.

I'll bash a bat over
his head if I have to.

(camera shutter clicking)

(train brakes creaking,
train rattling on tracks)

FELLOWS: You make
contact with Dmitri?

HENRY: Yup.

Hell of a lot easier
than Moscow.

Called his hotel room.

He's waiting for instructions.

Good.

We sit tight till
the talks are over,

and then,
it's a simple extraction.

He reiterated that he
wants me there at the pickup.

Oh,
as long as you're still okay with that.

Just tell me where and when.

We've chosen the corner of Rue
Agasse and Avenue des Jardins.

It's quiet, residential.

Standard procedure
is... (speaking French)

There'll be a
three-minute window.

If for any reason,
he's not there, we abort.

But I'm not foreseeing
any problems.

Good.

Listen... about
going over your head.

(laughs)

I-I-I wouldn't... Oh,
you mean, to the, uh,

president of the United States,
your old friend?

Look, if you want to get into it,
that wasn't just

going over my head.

That was pole vaulting the
entire chain of command.

I'm sorry if that made
things difficult for you.

Don't expect a Christmas
card from my supervisors,

but... I get it.

(sighs)

Look,
just about everyone in this line of work

is crystal clear
about their patriotism.

At the expense of their
humanity sometimes.

And I'd put myself at
the front of that class.

You're different.

I'm not sure if
that's a compliment.

Your conscience may not make you

the ideal spy,

but it certainly makes
you a better person.

Let's not breathe
too easy yet. Uh,

I'll let you know when
we have the green light.

DALTON: I hear our Ukrainian

friends needed a
little hand holding.

Let's just say we took a stroll

through all the possible
outcomes for their country

if they didn't
agree to our terms.

Nothing like the
threat of annihilation

to make people choose wisely.

Unfortunately,
CIA and NSA were unable

to find proof that
Maria killed Ostrov.

It's still a compelling
circumstantial case.

Not without the smoking gun.

Shame.

Foreign Minister Melnik,
I'm glad Ukraine

and the United States
were able to see eye to eye.

I prefer eye for an eye.

But, yes,
we'll sign away half our beloved country.

Secretary McCord
was quite persuasive.

Good.

JAY: Eastern Ukraine will
become an autonomous state

with its borders along
the north of the Black Sea,

from Luhansk to Odessa Oblast.

A puppet of Russia.

An end to all United
States economic sanctions

on the Russian government as
well as on individual Russians.

An end to all travel bans,

except those on the United
States Terrorist Watch List.

Russia agrees to restore
gas and oil supplies

to all European Union countries,

effective immediately
and without interruption

for a minimum of 15 years.

And that's everything.

President Ostrova,
I think it's fair

to say that each side has made

painful compromises here.

Now the United States
and Ukraine are ready

to sign this agreement.

Russia has one more requirement.

President Ostrova,

the United States stands
firmly behind these terms.

All I require is truth.

President Dalton,
you must admit to the world

that the United States
attacked Moscow's

power grid without provocation.

And apologize.

You know that's
never going to happen.

The world's only superpower
prostrates itself to no country.

Now let's sign this deal,
and end the aggression.

I can get

everything I want
with aggression,

including all of Ukraine.

Or you can apologize.

It's up to you.

MELNIK: This is what happens

when you try to make a deal
with the devil. DALTON: Enough.

I'd like the room.

So President
Ostrova and I can talk.

Yes, let's talk,
President Dalton.

Elizabeth, please stay.

Might be a long flight home.

I think that Afghanistan
and Chechnya are still fresh

on the minds of your people,
President Ostrova.

You underestimate
their desire for peace.

You underestimate Russian pride.

After what we all know
you did to Moscow,

my people are not afraid of you.

Apologize, or no deal.

I don't take orders from you.

Is okay.

I can go buy new watch
on Rue du Rhone today.

Good afternoon.

You will sign this deal,

or my government will
bury you and your reputation.

What is this?

A threat?

One you would be wise to heed.

We know you
murdered your husband.

We uncovered your relationship
with Dr. Yakov Maklovsky.

We know that he performed
your husband's stomach surgery,

and that his
embolism was induced

by an injection of Progestafil.

We know about your
two-million-dollar payments

to Maklovsky.

And we know that you had
him killed to cover your tracks.

This is ridiculous.

And we have proof.

DALTON: You got where you are
by riding your husband's popularity.

What will happen

when the Russian people
find out that you are guilty

of murdering their hero? ELIZABETH:
What will your generals do?

Your Chief of the General Staff.

Doroshevich was your
husband's biggest loyalist.

You'll never
survive it politically.

Or... you may
simply not survive it.

Like my friend Anton Gorev.

Even if what you say is true,

I cannot go back to my
generals and tell them

I took this deal without
anything in return.

They know I am
willing to have war.

Doroshevich wants war.

It is impossible.

You need to find a
way to make it possible.

There may be one.

We know that you have a spy in

my inner circle.

If you tell us who that is,

I can take that to the generals,
and we will have a deal.

You've got it wrong.

But even if you were right,

the United States would never
be seen to give up our own asset.

So we would each
hold the other's secret.

I will never say publicly
that you agreed to it.

Just like you will never say
what you think I did to Pavel.

Mutually-assured destruction.

Yes, like our Cold War.

It will never happen.

Then I will send my
entire army into Ukraine.

And no matter how many you send to die,
nothing will stop us.

Do you really want to test
the full force of our military?

Because it hasn't
gone well for you so far.

My generals want this fight.

And we do not place
the same restrictions

on our army as you do.

You mean a nuclear response?

Do you really want to test this?

Conrad?

We can't do this.

We can not do this.

She could be bluffing?

You want to bet a few
hundred thousand lives on that?

You're right. Or millions?

Because that's what
we're talking about here.

(quietly): I think that we
should consider apologizing.

(whispering): Roll over for
Maria Ostrov in front of the world?

I think it's an option.

It would be the single greatest
blow to American prestige

since Iraq. It would weaken us,

all while exposing our
classified cyber program.

You built your career
operating in the fog of war.

At CIA,
you made nothing but hard choices

about greater good
versus individual harm.

Obviously,
you're thinking of Henry

and his relationship
with the asset.

I'm sorry about that.

But I have to put
national security first,

and I need my Secretary
of State in lockstep.

(sighs)

30 seconds. Come on, Hank.

We're good. It's just
right around this corner.

(phone buzzing)

Hello?

There he is.

Copy that. Abort.

Abort. Abort. What? No.

What? No. Stop the
van. Can't stop the van.

Stop the damn van!
Stand down. Stand down.

Who the hell are those guys?!

I don't know.

Are they ours? I don't know.

Who are those guys?
Are they Russians?!

Did you just give him
up? Calm down. You are...

Did we give him up?!
What is going on? No idea.

I need to know what
the hell is going on!

(tires squealing)

Babe? Oh,
thank God you're here. Listen,

they aborted Dmitri's
extraction at the last second,

and I think the
Russians got him.

Jane won't tell me anything,

but I am sure that we
can still bring him in.

He's got to be in the city, so,
I need you to call the Swiss

to ground all Russian
planes... Henry.

Till we can get into it with
the president. Come on.

I know there's a call
that you can make.

He's an American asset,
and he got made somehow.

Or we got cold feet. Anyway,
we can't just give up on him.

We've got to put up a fight.

You know something.

What is it?

It was part of the negotiation.

What?

Dmitri was...?

No, no, no.

That... You...

We would never negotiate
away one of our own assets.

That's not...
that's not possible.

Please tell me
that's not possible.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Did Conrad approve this?

Why couldn't you
talk him out of it?

He's an old spy, for God's sake.

Why...? How could he do this?

Please tell me you didn't agree to this,
Elizabeth.

We had to think
of the greater good.

You know what they'll do to him.

I'm sorry.

No.

There's got to be another way.

I'm gonna go talk
to Conrad myself.

(band plays upbeat, lively tune)

Elizabeth.

Mr. President.

How's Henry holding up?

Um,
he took a commercial flight back.

He made his feelings
known to me last night.

I'm sorry, sir.

That couldn't have been fun.

You will both regret this.

Well,
at least they're consistent.

I do not disagree with a
single thing that Henry said.

If you had told me ten years ago

that I would have
made that call...

Some partners in peace.

Sir, I just need to make a
quick phone call if that's all right?

I'll catch up. Of course.

Hi. You've reached Henry McCord.

Please leave me a message.

(bleep) Hey, baby. It's me.

Just checking in again.
I left you a message.

Call me, please?

I love you.

(whooshing, explosion)
