Civil war in Sudan had been
raging for years.

♪ slow, suspenseful music ♪

[tires screeching]

In the midst of fierce fighting,

refusing all peace talks

brokered by American
and Saudi diplomats,

no one could have guessed
both sides were in London,

meeting secretly
with the Chinese.

On the table, billions
in infrastructure investment.

Control of oil fields
to the south.

Gold mines in the north.

A home port on the Red Sea

- en route to the Suez Canal.
- How are you?

Sudan was a triple play.
Everyone wanted in.

Us, the Russians, the Saudis.

Now here were the Chinese.

The worst part?
We knew nothing about it.

[Osman]
I have one role here.

To guarantee the secrecy
of these talks.

No one discusses anything
outside of this room.

No one leaves their hotel
at night.

Women are forbidden in hotels.

No press.

Any mistakes
will terminate negotiations.

♪ pulsing, suspenseful music ♪

♪

Before I, uh, pick up
where we left off yesterday,

I would like to remind you all

of the general Hemedti's
central position

with regards to the deadlock
in Khartoum...

[man] What was the nature
of the talks with the Sudanese?

What was at stake?

Only the future
of their entire country.

Division of territory.

Safety of the clans.

Access to rich resources.

Between Sufis, Darfurians,
Fallatas, Rashaidas,

Beja nomads, Bedouins.

They needed an expert.

Someone who understood
the region, its history.

[Sami]
We see that villages

in the Melut Basin,
up to the White Nile rift

are unhappy with this
administrative division

- into two provinces.
- [Martian] Nobody knew

- that was Samia Zahir.
- We can learn

from the mistakes made
after the discovery

of the Paloich oil field
in South Sudan.

[Martian]
No woman had ever played a role

close to Hemedti,
or with the Sudan mabahith.

Yet here she was, fighting
for the survival of her people.

The interests
of the many ethnic groups

who live in these regions
cannot be bulldozed.

[Martian]
To end a bloody war.

Risking everything for peace.

Mecca's that way.

Brand-new building,

Do you know, most of the rats
in New York City come from here?

Brown rat. Rattus norvegicus.

Listen, about what happened
at the hotel--

[Henry]
Before you say anything,

- you already apologized.
- I did?

Well, no, but yeah.

I mean, no, you didn't,
but yes, you did

in your own fucked-up way.

Well, I just wanted to say--

- [stammers]
- Thanks. It's obvious you don't.

But I appreciate your... trying.

Felix pretty much made up
for it. That was good work.

You know my fuck-up?

It was Charlie.

Last week, I called
and asked him the name of his op

to see if he was in danger.

I never should have done that.

Well, Henry, I mean...

that's way fucking worse.

I should report you.
I mean, seriously.

You should be in jail
for, like, 40 years.

All right, go on, then.
I could use

a little me time right now.

You owe me one,
but I owe you two.

One for Felix, one for Charlie.

"Oh, we've lost an agent,

[Henry]
Why are they here now?

'Cause some bumfuck,

Maybe they want to start

If they do have Coyote,

Your congressman from Iowa said,

and I quote,
"Belarus is a failed state

we trust no more
than North Korea."

Senior elected officials
of the United States of America,

insulting the reputation
of our great nation.

I'm sorry, Idaho.

Excuse me?

Mr. White, foreign policy.

Congressman Daniels
is from Idaho.

Iowa has four representatives
in Congress,

but not one of them has said

anything catty about Belarus,
of late.

But I-I interrupted.

Forgive me. Please continue.

What my colleague Mr. White

But we don't. Why?

History.

Remember three years ago,

you lost a MiG-35
over the Baltic?

Precisely what
I'm talking about.

We offered to support
search and rescue,

offered our surface radar.

You guys denied
ever even having lost it.

handled better.

Collaboratively.

Like here, today.

Because?

It was obvious.
