[crowd cheering]

[woman speaking Portuguese
over speakers]

[loud explosion]

[high-pitched ringing,
muffled crying]

[muffled shouting]

[baby crying]

[muffled crying, shouting
continues]

This morning's bombing in Rome

is more than just
a brutal attack

on one of the most beautiful
cities in the world.

This is a threat
which will be answered.

[reporters speaking at once]

Governor, Governor,
you've said that as president,

you would increase surveillance
of Muslim Americans...

Whoa, whoa.

First of all, no group has
claimed responsibility yet

for the bombing

at Stazione Triumfale in Rome.

And I would neversuggest
infringing on the rights

of America citizens, ever.[scoffs]
Yeah?

He doesn't
suggest it.

He wants to
legislate it.

EVANS:
But if an attack does occur...

Nice suit, though.

His staff's definitely
working overtime.

They've pulled him
off the campaign trail

so he can keep running around

showing off
his new global concern.

No mention of the bombing
in Angola, I notice.

Twice as many dead as in Rome.

But if the press
doesn't mention it,

why should he?

[turns off TV]

[exhales]

Of course,
this means that I have

to pull Conrad
off the trail, too.

Right after that China
speech last week got us

a two point bump
in the polls.

But we still have
an election

to pull out of thin air.

I thought it was...

less than a total long shot,
which... I took

to be boundlessoptimism
coming from you.

New York Timesis about
to endorse us,

which should
reassure the centrists.

And we are making progress
getting those sore loser laws

changed to get him

on the ballot in the states
we missed in the primaries.

I'm sensing
an Eeyore footnote.

[sighs]
Minnesota and Ohio

are holdouts.

If we don't get Dalton
on the ballot in those two,

we have no hope
of keeping Evans or Reynolds

from getting to 270,
at which point,

it's game over.

We've got the team
on Minnesota,

but I need
your help.

I can't campaign,
you know...With Ohio, it's...

I can't campaign!it's not
campaigning!

We-we just need
somebody high profile

to take Dalton's place
in an NFL pre-game interview.

Slip in something about
getting on the ballot,

and go have dinner
with some state senators.

How is wining and
dining state senators

not campaigning?Because I have a room
full of lawyers,

telling me
that isn't!

We are in this

ridiculous situation
'cause of your idea

to turn our backs
on the party

and do an
independent run.

Be right back.

Assistant Secretary Thompson,
I am so sorry

I didn't reach you before you
came all the way up here.

The attack in Rome
has completely hijacked

her schedule...

That was an unfortunate
verb choice.

She's not in?Emergency conference
at the White House.

[phone rings]Uh, but I will give that

to her as soon as she returns.
Excuse me.

Hi, Louise,
what are we cancelling?

Yeah, that
should be fine, um...

Uh... Yes.

I'll have to double-check that.

REPORTER:
Death toll now at 42,

with more injured
in a suicide bombing...

Hizb al-Shahid just took
credit for the bombing in Rome.

I heard.
Do we believe it?

Well, the sources
seem credible.

So, now they're moving
from Algeria into Europe.

DEA came through with some intel

on sales of antiquities
from North Africa.

See if any of these look
like they were looted

from St. Gabriel's
Monastery

before HS
blew it up.

Stones from the tomb of the
Christian woman in Tipaza.

Not too far from
the monastery.

Stones, though; very hard
to prove authenticity.

What's this one?

"Reliquary of St. Augustine
from the Basilica in Annaba."

Looks like St. Augustine
has the same taste

as a Corsican drug lord.

Trust me,

this is not
St. Augustine style.

This is the Colonial French
feeling guilty.

See, when France
took over Algeria,

they felt bad because none
of Augustine's remains were

in Annaba, his hometown,
so they made this reliquary

to return his arm
bone to the basilica.

Where's Annaba?

Northeastern Algeria.

Part of the ancient
city of Hippo Regius.

Maybe HS sacked
that place, too?

There's plenty
there worth looting.

But I didn't think they'd
gotten that far north.

Just like we didn't think
they were in Rome.

Let's check with DEA.

See if we can trace this back
to the seller.

ELIZABETH:
Susan.

I'm sorry to disrupt
your schedule, Madam Secretary.

N-No, no, no.

I'm-I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.

The, uh... uh,
fallout from Rome

has been getting
all the attention.

You know how
that goes.Oh, I do.

So...

The bombing in Luanda,
that was a travesty.

How's Kalanga?

She's injured, but alive,
thank God.

A separatist group
is taking credit.

I-I'm really sorry

that I haven't been able
to respond,

but I'll issue a statement
condemning the...

the group's actions
in the... strongest terms.

With all respect, Madam
Secretary, the situation

in Angola has gone well beyond
a statement of condemnation.

Which is why I'm here.

A memo of dissent?

Signed by your entire
African Affairs Bureau.

Specifically objecting

to our policies in Angola.

For 30 years,
President Bestilo has enjoyed

generous trade agreements
with the United States,

a wealth of subsidies,

and a blind eye to his
increasing corruption

and cronyism.Are you suggesting

that President Bestilo
was behind the attack?

I'm saying that this
administration's

deafeningsilence
after an attack

that killed twice as many people
as that bombing in Rome...

It's just the latest example

of ongoing indifference.

So, dissent memo?

Bestilo put a ban on all
public assembly this morning,

supposedly
to protect the people.

But it is obvious he's using
this bombing as a cover

to silence his opponent.

The people want Kalanga
and he knows it.

He's stealing this election.

I can't ask my staff
to stand by silently

while the administration
does nothing.

I will do everything
in my power

to make our deep
displeasure known.No.

Not another "urge,

encourage, concern" phone call.

This needs action, Elizabeth.

If Bestilo is allowed
to snuff out

a once-in-a-generation
candidate,

and the rest of the world shrugs

'cause nobody went
to Luanda on a honeymoon,

that's an African story
I'm tired of telling.

NADINE:
We've got some

changes to note
in the secretary's schedule.

Uh, the Emissions
and Deforestation Conference

will be postponed.

Thank you.
And we've added

the NFL Diplomacy Initiative

in Cleveland, ma'am.

[soft murmurs]

Yeah, the... president
is stepping off

the campaign trail.

I'm just gonna fill in.

As in, campaigning?

No, no.
It-it's just a little...

pre-game interview about...

football and diplomacy.

Yeah.

Well, Russell Jackson
insists it's legal.

Hey, wait.

Who's doing the interview?

James Brown.

Oh.

I thought he
was dead.No.

That would be, uh,
fellow diplomat

and ambassador of soul,
James Brown.

This would be

CBS Sportscaster
James Brown. J.B.!

Hmm.
NADINE:
And what exactly

is it that Russell Jackson
would like you to say?

Legally.

Uh... I think the
non-campaigning version

of "Please put President Dalton
on the ballot in Ohio."

Hey! What
about this?

Um, Dalton's not
on the ballot because

of the sore loser law, right?

Just recently,

the NFL changed
the extra point rule...Yeah, too many kickers

were making it, so they moved
it back to the 15 yard line.

Right, and just as the NFL
can change the rules,

to make the game fair
and competitive...

So Ohio can
reexamine its policy

in this historically
unprecedented

third party run.

Yes!ELIZABETH:
Oh, that's good.

Oh, I like that.

I like that... mm...
G-Give more of those.

Okay, moving on.

Yes, sorry. We need to talk
about the bombing in Angola.

It's awful.

Kalanga survive?

ELIZABETH:
Yeah, with injuries.

83 others were not as lucky.

But President Bestilo
is using the attack

to suppress his opponent,
and this morning,

I received a dissent memo

from the Bureau
of African Affairs,

urging a stronger response.

Um, can I see it?

It's an understandable

frustration
at our ongoing cooperation

with an increasingly
corrupt regime.

What I need...
are some possible

sanctions
I can threaten

to get President Bestilo
to toe the line.

Cut off aide?MATT:
Or agricultural imports.

I mean, they get a ton
of poultry and grain from us.Not sure

how American farmers
are gonna feel about that.

Not as bad as the Angolans
if we cut off their food supply.

We'll draw up
some talking points.Thank you.

ELIZABETH:
Hey!

Louise said I
could catch you.

Um, could we just

slow this down
to a jog, please?

We need
to talk about Angola.

Why?

The bomb there
yesterday.

I don't know
if you heard,

more dead
than in Rome.

Yeah?

Could you do
me a favor,

and just pretend
to listen to me?

Because I just
got a dissent memo

from my entire
African Affairs Bureau,

convinced that
this administration

doesn't know or care

that Angola's presidential
election is being stolen

in broad daylight.I'm a little
preoccupied

with another election
at the moment.

Why are we still
talking about this?

Because I want
to remind President Bestilo

that he
is running a democracy.

So, I would like
to threaten

to cut
our agricultural

exports and I just want
to make sure

that I'm not lighting
anybody's hair on fire.

Do whatever you
need to do.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait, what?!

You can't do that!

Why?

Were you not listening
this morning?

We have two major
agricultural states--

Ohio, Minnesota-- where
we're fighting for our lives.

Y-Y-You expect me
to tell them

t-t-that we're
just cutting off

their, what, fifth
biggest importer

of poultry in
the world?

I knewyou listen to me!

Give me a week to
get this resolved.

Then you can turn all
the screws you want.

I don't have a week.

The election
is in four days.

And if Bestilo
wins another term,

that's one more African
nation we lose

to an autocratic leader.

Here's a novel idea:
stick to the Prime Directive.

Let democracy take
its course...

without U.S.
interference.

Really?

A Star Trekreference?

I deeply appreciate your
compassion, Madam Secretary,

But Angola is strong.

We will endure.

I'm sure you will,
Mr. President.

However, I am concerned
that your ban

on public gatherings
may interfere

with the democratic
process.

It is for the safety
of my people.

I refuse to make them
a target again.

ELIZABETH:
Yes, but, Mr. President--

"Damiano," please.

I just want to
remind you

that in order to continue
our support of Angola,

we need to know that you will
support the will of the people.

I find these conversations
so inspiring.

Thank you, Madam Secretary.

Good luck with
your own election.

It seems you're going
to need it.

Urge, encourage...
and concern.

Did I leave
something out?

Mollify and assuage?

HENRY: Are you kidding me? Who wrote these talking points?

The Browns have got
way bigger problems

thank finding a go-to
receiver on third down.

Can I just say
how adorable it is

that thisis
the most opinionated

you've been about my job
in, like, ever?

Well, it's better than reading
that FBI report.

I mean, 58 pages to say

they still can't find
whoever's hacking our house

and stalking our
entire family?

Yes, I know, I know.

On the other hand,
no new incidents.

See? Staying positive,
trusting the system.

Well, you're doing
better than I am.

You have a rough day?

[sighs]

I got a dissent memo
on Angola.

Is that like when
a student files an appeal

'cause they don't
like their grade?

It's an anonymous
communication channel

to allow anyone
at the State Department

to formally oppose
foreign policy

they don't agree with.

So... I got the bad grade.

That attack in Luanda was rough.

Okay, can you just
tell me that

I do a great job
at other things.

I-- Right now,
I just need to hear...Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Come on, come on.

You are the very
best student

in the whole
State Department.

And you know...

what I give
to my best students.

Wait...
What?

Oh, God!

Oh, no, no, no, no.No, no, no.

It's not-- It was
getting weird anyway.

I just wanted
to tell you

that Jareth is coming
for a visit.

Well, that's great.When does he get here?

Wednesday, actually.
Kinda last-minute.

Well, I'll say, but
what a great surprise.

Yeah, it's... it's okay
if he stays here?

Yeah, of course.Yes. Sure.

Okay, thank you.

Yes! I'm so excited.HENRY: Yay.

Sweetie, that's great.
So are we!

[Elizabeth chuckles]

It's okay that
he stays here, right?

Of course,
I love that kid.

No, I mean, you know,

she's got that
tiny little twin bed

with the girly
bedspread.

You think that'd
be comfortable?

Well, I think they'll get
comfortable.

Really?

Well, I remember we got
pretty comfortable with your...

Okay, but we didn't have
Will in the next room

[whispering]
with a very thin wall.

Oh, God, Jason.
Yeah.

Will you say
something to her?
Yes.

I do, I will,
I'll talk to her, yeah.Just to be quiet.

ELIZABETH:
Yes, Daisy, what's up?

DAISY [on phone]:
Ma'am, I just got a heads up

from a guy at the Post.

They have a copy
of the dissent memo,

and they're about to run it.

Well, that's a disaster.

Did he...

Did he say how
he got it?

I couldn't get it
out of him,

and it's too late
to kill it-- I tried.

Okay, well, I want to know
who leaked it,

so you do whatever
you have to, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

And, listen,
for what it's worth,

the news cycle is still
on the attack in Rome.

We might be okay.

[sighs]
Thanks, Daisy.

What the hell is this
about a dissent memo?

♪

Madam Secretary,
when are we going to see

NFL football in,
say, France?

Well, that... that's a...
that's a tricky question.

I think, uh, every
country loves its game

just as much as
we love ours.

And change is hard.

1906, football fans
were scandalized

by the invention
of the forward pass,

and now it's a definitive

signature of the game.

So rules do
need to evolve.

Now, President Dalton
is looking to make

a few changed in the upcoming
election, too, isn't that right?

Well, I'm... I'm happy
that you brought that up.

Uh... because as much as
President Dalton is

supported and trusted
by the American people,

certain rules will need
to evolve to accommodate

this historic
third-party run.

Well, with that
being said,

we're gonna take
a little break,

but, Secretary McCord,
thank you again

for taking the time.It's my pleasure.

Go, Browns!

JULIUS:
Is that Russell Jackson?

Julius!
Well, look at us.

Even without the support
of our key donor,

we somehow manage
to stay in the game.

I love it when he
stays in sales mode.

[all chuckle]

Madam Secretary, I wanted
to introduce you

to a friend of mine.

Secretary McCord,
Scott Goodman, KronicDM.

Oh, my son loves
your massaging app.

He thinks I don't know
what the name means.

Oh, uh-oh, mom's hip.[chuckles]

Well, I'm glad
he's hooked in.

I was wondering,
could I grab a minute?

Uh, sure.

How's it going with Sam Evans?

You ready to admit

you backed the wrong horse?

Let's just say I haven't
placed any bets yet.

I saw that story
about your staff

throwing a flags
on the play in Africa.

Ah, the dissent memo, yes.

Yeah, I gotta tell you,
from a tech point of view,

we're pretty
frustrated, too.

We're trying to get
KronicDM going

in Southern Africa,

but these countries
are killing us

with these OTT taxes.

A fee to use their
telecom services, right?

Over-the-top tax?Yes, even the name--

"over-the-top."

Most Africans
aren't online.

They just...
they have phones.

So we're how they're
staying connected,

but these state-owned
telecom services

are strangling us
with these fees.

To be fair, your app is

using their services,
right?

So shouldn't they ask you
to help pay for it?

Come on, Secretary.

I mean, they could
privatize telecom,

and the whole economy
would benefit.

But then they wouldn't
be able to monitor

everything that their
citizens are saying,

or turn it off
whenever they want to.

I mean, state-owned
telecom, it's bad

for democracy, and
it's bad for business.

I understand
your frustration,

but the thing about
emerging economies, Scott,

is that they have
to be allowed

to do just that...
emerge.

It's... it's a process.

If I wanted to,
right now,

I could cut a deal
with one country

and piggyback one network

across most of Southern
Africa for free,

the way it should be.

But I'm not doing that
'cause I'm hoping

my elected officials are
gonna do their job...Appointed.

I'm afraid that's all
the time the secretary has.

Oh, gosh, Scott, too bad.
Thanks so much.

I haven't been mansplained
that hard

since Craig Sterling
was in office.

Good job on
the interview.

Too bad it
won't save us.

What do you mean?

We just got word the
Timesis holding back

on the endorsement.

They want to let
this dissent memo

play out first.

Just long enough
so it won't do us any good.

Hey, you want
some of this?

I don't even know
what it is.

It's mushroom soufflé.
Don't you want to heat that up?

No, I'm barely
tasting it anyway.

So, Jareth tomorrow.
That's exciting.

Yep.

You know, Dad and I
are really happy

that he's gonna
stay with us,

but maybe we should just
talk about one thing.

What, the fact that
if we move to England

I might end up
killing myself?

What?

Yeah.

Sweetheart...

what happened?

The whole summer
was awful.

His friends, his family.

The stupid weather.

Wait, you-you've been home
almost a month.

Why didn't you
say something?

Denial?

I don't know.

It was embarrassing.
I mean...

you guys were
so happy for me.
Well...

And it was supposed to be
the best summer of my life.

Instead, I turned into
this total baby.

Leaving dinner parties to
go cry in the bathroom.

Well, a little culture shock
is to be expected.

It was more like
culture electrocution.

Oh. Well, how's Jareth?

That was the worst part.

He was kind of a totally
different person, too.

I mean, like snobby,

and he cared what school
everybody went to.

He was, like,
turning away from me

if I made the wrong joke.

Sounds like you guys
definitely have

some stuff to talk about.

I don't want you to think
he's a bad person.

He's just...

British, it turns out.

Now, but, Stevie, you have
to be straight with him.

You can't pretend
you're fine when you're not.

That's not how marriage works.

I know.

I just... I don't know
how he's gonna take it.

HENRY: All right,
here's the part

of the DEA surveillance
footage we need.

Here she is coming
into the guy's house

to make the sale.

It's the same person.

What's an antiquities expert
at a history museum

doing selling stolen treasures
to Corsican drug lords?

There's nothing in her
background to support it.

I don't know.
Maybe she needs the money.

Maybe she just
likes gangsters.

The only thing
we really need to know

is where she got
the reliquary.

We can bring her in, but she
can't know what we're up to.

Maybe we could use
French intelligence.

I'm sure they'd be
interested in what she's doing.

Not yet.

You bring her in
quietly,

find out what
she knows,

and take it from there.

Morning.

Morning.
Morning.
Morning

Marcia Forman is having a field
day with this dissent memo.

Marcia Forman
is an unhappy woman

desperately trying
to make herself relevant.

Aren't we all?

Except I'm not a woman.

Sorry. finishing my first round
of interviews.

NADINE:
Any leads?

I talked to most of
the mid-level Africa desk.

They're in full denial mode.

But I have IT doing
an e-mail search for terms

that might indicate a grudge
against the White House.

Dalton/idiot, McCord/idiot,

Ouch.Dalton/traitor...

Daisy, keep at it. Thank you.Mm-hmm.

All right, where are we
on the sanctions on Angola?

Anybody...Excuse me,
Madam Secretary.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but I'm having a little
trouble getting my work done

while my entire staff is being
rounded up for interrogation.

It was an investigation.We have to look
into the memo leak.

It's been very destabilizing.

Not to mention criminal.

Fine.

I leaked it.

[all gasp]You want to arrest somebody,

arrest me.

Okay, come on.

I am sorry for questioning
your staff, but...

Bestilo's put her
under house arrest.

Kalanga.

Really?

When?
This morning, to
protect her security.

And I would love
to see this office

take half as much interest

in a supposedly democratic
ally openly stealing an election

as you have shown in
one leaked document.

Hey, Susan, you got to stop
accusing me of not caring.

There are parameters
and you know that.

When was the last time
you set foot in Southern Africa?

I...
But you find time
to go to NFL games,

and... I'm so sorry.

I... You know what?

I-I just give up.

I'd rather work
in the private sector

and actually get
something done.

Susan...
Thank you for
taking a chance on me.

Madam Secretary, you can
consider this my resignation.

[sighs]

Can we talk about this?

Yes.

I'd appreciate it if
you let me turn myself in.

I'd rather my staff not
see me led out by security.

I know you didn't leak
that memo.

That's not what
my memoir will say.

And if you think I'm gonna
inform on anybody...

No, I don't actually care
who leaked it.

I just don't want
to lose you.

But you have to understand.

I-I'm playing
ten dimensional chess here.

If I could've threatened to
cut off agricultural imports

and sanction oil
when I called Bestilo,

I would've done it.

But we are having
an election of our own

and, like it or not,
we all serve at the pleasure.

And this is exactly
the problem

with our approach in Africa.

We go in with our studies,
and our expertise, and our aid,

and we don't even know
what we don't know.

Bestilo doesn't care
if his people starve.

So, if you really want
to get him where he lives,

you don't read reports.

You talk to people who know him.

You're right.

So how do we get him
where he lives?

Putting your opponent
under house arrest

is clearly meant to protect

your own security,
Mr. President, not Kalanga's.

I do not wish to
run against a martyr.

But as always, Madam Secretary,

I appreciate your opinion.

It is the United
States' opinion.

Therefore, we're demanding
the release of Bertilde Kalanga

within two hours.

If you do not comply, I'm
prepared to impose a travel ban

on all Angolan citizens
into the United States.

It would be a shame if
Amalia Salessu were unable

to finish her sophomore
year at Stanford.

But, of course,

if she's no longer
attending school

out of the country,

maybe she can get
to know her half-sister better.

Unless, of course,
your daughter Lauana

doesn't know she
has a half-sister.

I have to wonder, Elizabeth,
at President Dalton's boldness

in dictating
the election procedures

of a small African nation

when he himself seems
to be making up the rules

as he goes along.

You have enjoyed many years of
generous support and aid from us

with little accountability.

But accountability comes

in many forms, Damiano.

I regret my years of loyalty
mean so little to you.

Our warm relations
can be restored

if you agree to
free Bertilde Kalanga

and allow your people

a free and fair election.

As your own president follows

the dictates of
democracy, so shall I.

[exhales]

That seemed a little ominous.

Trust me, that's as close to a
checkmate as you're gonna get.

He's shaking.

Well, let's see if an
illegitimate daughter

will have any effect.

JARETH:
Oh, brilliant.

Finally come round
to real tea.

Trying.

Kind of makes
my teeth squeak.

Oh, well, that's because it's
actual tea, not colored water.

Oh, leave the bag in, woman.

Have I taught you nothing?

I am incorrigible.

I, uh, I heard you
say that to your mother

when you thought I
was out of the room.

Oh... dear.

Of course, I-I had
made the scandalous error

of pouring the
milk after the tea.

I'm sorry I said that.

I don't think that.

I actually find you
quite corrigible.

The whole summer,
um, I-I felt like...

the idiot American girl

who doesn't know
how to drink tea

and doesn't
have the right shoes.

That's not how I see you at all.

Why would anyone pour
the milk before the tea?

It doesn't make any sense,

you can't tell how strong it is.

I looked it up.

George Orwell
is with me on this.

God, I hate England.

I'm right there with you.

It brings out
the absolute worst in me.

I'm sorry.

Honestly, I mean, the
thought of going back there

kind of gives me
a panic attack.

Well, then let's not.

Really?

I'm miserable without you.

I love the States.

You love the States.

Let's live in the States.

But what about
your fellowship?

Please, if a cat can be both
alive and dead simultaneously,

I'm sure I can find
another fellowship

in theoretical physics.

Probably only makes sense
to another physicist.

Um, the important thing

is that we are our best
selves to each other.

Always.

All right.

Keep talking physics to me.

Yeah?

No, don't.

JOSE:
We get the archeologist?

HENRY:
We just brought her in,
but she's not talking yet.

Ask her about the statues.

Those are the
St. Gabriel statues.

She's dealing
with Hizb al-Shahid.

And the best part is,
they haven't seen her.

Right, so, we pick her up, we
let her think she's being held

by French intelligence.We'll find an agent
who can pass for her,

set up a meeting to buy one
of these statues, and boom,

we have a direct line to
Hizb al-Shahid in Algeria.

Except these guys
go through couriers

because they can't meet
with women.

So, all we have to do
is find an agent

who looks like
this archaeologist,

who speaks perfect French,

and then somehow
convince these extremists

that they should
violate their religion

and meet her face-to-face
so she can set up the op.

But, yeah, once we do all that,

it's like you said, "Boom."

[elevator bell dings]Good morning, Madam Secretary.

Not while I'm still reading

about the dissent memo.

We just got word
that Bertilde Kalanga

was released from
house arrest in Angola.

Hope that helps.

It does.

When do the polls open?

About 16 hours.

Uh, Assistant Secretary
Thompson is here,

presumably to share
the diplomatic equivalent

of a high five.

Susan, I just heard.

Bestilo released Kalanga.

He also shut down all
Internet service in Angola.

He cannot stop suppressing
freedom of speech, can he?

It's worse than that.

I just got word from the
embassy, military and police

are surrounding poll
stations as we speak.

What is he doing?

Suppressing voters
with no way for anyone to see

what he's up to
until it's too late.

Won't the press expose him?

No, they do whatever
he tells them to do.He controls it.

But he can't
control social media.

If the people show each
other what he's doing,

he knows they'll rise up.

Same reason Mubarak shut down
Internet during the Arab Spring.

Said it was for maintenance.

Maintenance of the status quo.

[sighs]

I thought we were
getting through to him.

SUSAN:
We should initiate a travel ban.

Threaten to cut off food,
even if we can't do it.

No, we-we can't make threats
if we we're not willing

to follow through on them.

It's like you said,

what does he care
if his people starve?

Unfortunately, this is the
position we've put Angolans in

by making them dependent
on our food supply.

What about U.N. forces?

Hang on.

You're absolutely right.

Subsidized agriculture
was the wrong idea.

We have to let them
harvest their own crops, right?

Blake!

JOSE:
Who did you say sent you?

I represent a buyer from Bastia,
Lucas Hervé.

Why doesn't he
come himself?

He's a businessman.
He needs to be discreet.

So he sends an archaeologist
who deals in the black market?

You're pretty high risk.

I have connections
to passionate collectors

from many different worlds.

Did the reliquary contain
the relics of St. Augustine?

It was only the outside
the buyer was interested in.

Sounds like you're covering.

That's something
an archaeologist would know.

JOSE:
But not something
that HS would care about.

Where are you from?

Paris.

18th arrondissement.

Then why does your accent
sound southern?

My mother is from Marseille.

I spent my summers there
growing up.

I lived with my grandmother.

You just gave us three ways
to pull you apart

when you just needed
to give us one.

[sighs]

Of course.

Ask me again.

I think we got enough.

Great work, Cecile.

Very impressive.

Thanks for coming in.

[door opens, closes]

Well, she looks like
our archaeologist.

Her French is perfect.

She's too green.

I know from when
Elizabeth was starting out,

you want an agent
with something to prove.

She can do it.

She'll be sitting face-to-face

with members
of Hizb al-Shahid.

It's too important
to go with an agent

because she reminds you
of your wife.

It's too important not to.

JARETH:
Of course.

Yes, I promise.

Okay, Mum.
Yeah, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Hey, I think I found
a really cool place

in Kingsman Park.

Oh, sorry, I'm completely
late for my interview.

And this public transport app
is utter rubbish.

Sorry, um...Bad phone call?

Yeah. Apparently
my father is flummoxed

that I've thrown away
my career,

and he's decided
to cut me off.

Not that I mind that
too much.

I've always hated
the way he dangles

the inheritance
to keep us all in line.

Quite happy to step out of
that mini colonialist drama.

How do you not know where
George Washington University is?

I'm confused-- I thought
your parents were academics.

Yeah, well,
they can afford to be,

thanks to Mum's title
and all that.

Your mother has a title?

Yes. Lady Sutherland.

Dad just married in,
but it doesn't stop him

from using it
for all it's worth.

I'm sorry, how did I
not know any of this?

Could it be the accent?

I actually worked
really hard on it.

Okay, look,
you'd have hated it.

The country manor
in the Cotswolds

is basically just a farm
with glowering portraits.

The chateau in Provence
is a little bit more fun,

and I think my sister
will have us over for visits

so she can just
lord it over me.

Oh, I have to go.
I really have to go.Jareth, stop.

Is your father right?

Is this a huge mistake?

It's too late now.
The Brexit vote is in,

and there's no turning back.

So I'll talk to you later.
Mwah!
Wh...

I really have to go.

Scott, thank you so much
for taking the time.

Where you calling me from,
2012?

Super Mario had more pixels.

You guys gotta let me
help you out.

[laughs]

Well, I'm... I'm glad
you're in a charitable mood

because I've got a...
a proposition.

Do you remember saying
that if you wanted to,

you could extend
free Internet access

to all of Southern Africa?

By piggybacking off
one network, yeah.

I might have overstated
the reach.

If I can make a deal
with Zambia,

do you think you could set up
a makeshift network

in Angola in...

Well, in the next
12 hours?

Well, I assume this is
a tax-free situation

we're talking about--
no OTTs.

Well... that's the thing.

Um, this network
you're setting up

will only exist
for 24 hours.

Just enough time for Angola
to elect its next president

in a free and fair election.

After that, you'd have to pay
whatever taxes Angola wants.

But if the people's

candidate wins,
I'm pretty sure

we can discourage
state-run telecoms

Here you go.
all together.

Well, I like
the sound of that.

Good, because you'll be
helping me do that

by sending in a team

to train Angolans to build

their own private
telecom networks... for free.

The way it should be.

However, I-I do have
to tell you that

if Bertilde Kalanga
doesn't win today,

then, well, both of us
are probably

never gonna work
in Angola again.

[laughs]

Why would I agree to this?

Because you want
to build democracy.

And because,
if your company, KronicDM,

is the force behind
an Internet-led revolution

that leads Angola
to expose a corrupt regime

and elect its first
female president,

that's gonna make a really
kickass Super Bowl commercial.

Huh.

Yup. Ballot-stuffing
in Benguela.

MATT:
I've got it on a live feed.

I've got somebody
facing down a line

of military trucks trying
to block the poll access.

Yeah, and a bunch
of people joining him.

It's like a flash mob
without all the dancing.

Well, the news cycle has shifted
from the leaked memo.

Thank you, KronicDM.

SUSAN:
Thank the Angolans.

They're the ones putting their
lives at risk to expose him.

Yes.

All right,
that was the embassy.

So far, everything
seems calm in Luanda.

Let's hope the eyes
of the world are enough

to keep Bestilo
from lashing out.

[protesters shouting]

STEVIE:
Hey, Dad.

Hey. Where's Jareth?

He's out with friends.

I was at the library.

Want to watch the Angolan
election with me?

First woman president.Kalanga won?

Not yet. Here.
It's vegan.

Mom told me about the whole
"I hate England" crisis.

Yeah, well,
it's been replaced

by the "Jareth is losing out
on his inheritance

if he stays here"
crisis.

They're disinheriting him?Yeah.

Wow, that's extreme.

It also might be because
he's marrying someone

who doesn't know how
to pour tea,

but I didn't ask.

Well, even if they
cut him off, they're still

gonna be your in-laws,

so you guys gotta
work that out.

How is Jareth doing?

Great. Supposedly.

[chuckles]
Couldn't be happier

about being liberated
from the tyranny

of title and property.

[chuckles]But he's conflicted.

I know he is.

Especially about
leaving Oxford.

Isn't this where you give me
the wise counsel of experience?

Sorry, I got nothin'
except welcome to marriage.

Huge, important
life decisions...

with unexpected
consequences,

all taken on a leap
of faith.

What if we stay,
and he ends up resenting me

for losing everything?

Oh, honey, he will.

A-at some point.

And you guys
will work through it.

[sighs]

Or not.

That can happen, too.

That's it?

What about the, you know,

if you love each other, you can
make it through anything?

You know what my dad
said to me

the night before
I got married?

"Marriage is the nicest way

to confront your own
inadequacies on a daily basis."

Huh. You should
write that in a song.

Huh. It's also the greatest
journey you'll ever go on.

And you get to go on it
with your best friend.

[glass clinks]

When are they gonna
call this?

I definitely don't have time
for Bush v. Gore.

My wife's gonna
kill me as it is.

If they haven't called it,
he hasn't stolen it.

Well, still no word
from the embassy,

but the Bureau
of African Affairs

sent over doughnuts.

Suck-ups!

Well, I am not above
a suck-up doughnut.

Oh, glazed.

[clears throat]

Sorry about
the investigation.

Are you offering me my
own department's doughnut

as an apology?

Yep.

Let's just say it's more
of a thank you than an apology.

Releasing the dissent memo,
whoever released it...

I'm sorry
it was necessary.

[sighs] They haven't
wrapped this thing up yet?

Still waiting.

May I interest you
in a doughnut?

No, thanks.

Where's the, uh, Secretary?ELIZABETH: We did it!

DAISY: Oh, Kalanga won!Yes, we did it!

[all exclaiming, cheering]JACKSON: Look at that!

And you didn't even have
to use agriculture.

All I had to do was
work with the people.

JACKSON: I'd like to see
the New York Times

hold out on us now.

Oh, Russ,
don't be so sentimental!

Just stopped by to let you know
we're on the ballot in Ohio.

Not that you're
campaigning.

Oh, this day is
full of wonders.

True that.[laughs]

Actually, I'll, uh...

I'll have a sprinkles.

You should fly in
for the inauguration.

It's good optics.

Um, I may fit that
in my schedule.

Will you join me?

Hey, guys,
check it out.

[inspiring pop music playing]

Oh, wow.

absolute beginners ♪

♪ Uh-huh...

It's taking too long.

We should have put
a wire on her.

JOSE:
That's her.

She's alone.
That's good.

Cecile, all clear?

They bought it.

And they're going to
let me appraise

the statues in Algeria.

We meet sometime next week.

That's fantastic.

Good work.
Get back to base.

Did we set a pick-up?

This is Black Dog Station.

Who the hell just
took our agent?
