Well, I'd like you to be my vice

president. If you

two came up with some language that you

think works, I'd love to hear it. Make

sure we're all singing the same song. I

have two jobs. And two continents.

Where's my ******* copy of the plan?

Public marriage. Private divorce. Are you

unified people?Divorced people do that.

Yeah, I guess so. The president's

thinking of dumping Hal and picking

Steiner in this place. The president's

keeping her options open. A British

citizen killed herself in a CIA safe

house she wasn't supposed to be in. Are

you?Gonna get fired?Probably. If

your government doesn't want me here,

I'm done. Instead of ******* red man.

Hal is three votes away from Senate

ratification of the Law of the Sea

Treaty. What?He is

infuriating. But just when you think you

can't take a second more, he'll make

history.

It's a big change. So as

we start this new chapter together, I

urge you to tread lightly.

Try not to overwhelm. No praise. No

praise of any kind. Doesn't like it.

Congratulations?No congratulations.

Do not use the word second lady if you

can avoid it. And if she seems a little

bossy, a little snappy, if

she seems to be in a very, very bad mood.

But sometimes she mattles things and I

can't understand them. If that happens,

try to remind yourself that this will not

last forever. It's just a natural human

response to change. To sum up,

hold on tightly, let go lightly. Be

cool. Hang back. Don't take your eyes off

her, but don't make it seem that way.

Good?My team has to stay within the

mandated predator of the Second Lady at

all times. Six feet at most.

That's two meters. The Ambassador

likes her detail at a distance, so as not

to interfere. Would she consider saving

her life interference?Hey there!

Everybody... The Secret Service intend to

stand coasty at all times. That's why we

call it close protection. I explained

that you prefer... By room, by room.

Gotta relax. Everyone's

just spying on their feet, right?

You guys all gotta get out today. It is

gorgeous.

Hi. Where are you?

Traffic. But you're coming?

Absolutely. Okay, well, you have a

few minutes 'cause she's taking a shower,

but she doesn't spend a lot of time in

there, so... On my way.

Okay.

while you were in D.C. You screamed house

swearing in, and half the embassy showed

up. You're coming back to a lot of

goodwill. Ah, sweet. We

held a country team meeting to address

the exchequered response to the IFD

report. I've got a one-pager to catch you

up. Okay. And you've

gone viral, you and the Vice President.

It's a meme. Hurry up.

Well, look at that.

The White House loves it. They're hoping

for more marriage-forward press. Sure.

They pitched a joint interview in, don't

get upset, Parker's Bazaar UK.

but I already told them it's got to be

substantive whatever they want great

Hotel scheduling they're making sure

you're not overbooked there's a lot of

invitations coming in uh dignitaries

their wives a lot of wives

but really everyone wants to see you but

I made clear you are not doing five ITS a

what's happening right now Stuart

second lady is all outside

Really?If I want to meet with Turkey or

the Saudis, no one can say no. You

want to meet with the Saudis?Not today.

I want to meet with whoever at the

Foreign Office deals with resource

extraction. Which resource?Oil,

but from water. Is this about their

drilling licensesthe North Sea?

Denmark is losing their ****. Did you

hear that part?No. They want to block the

deal, which they don't really want to do.

They just want help pulling it back a

little, like 80%. That's not a

little. We'll work something out. At

which point we'll be heroes to Denmark

and the UK and...

What?Who's going to have a lot to say

about drilling licenses in the North Sea?

The Saudis. Then we will talk to them.

about turkey. Okay.

Okay. People may invite the second lady

to tea, but the ambassador's gonna walk

through the door. Man, I am so proud of

you. Half full, my friend.

Hi. Good morning. Are you

hungry?The scones aren't dry at all

today. I'm good. Do

you want him to leave?He's why

I'm here. He called a meeting for us. Oh,

let's sit down then.

Proceed, sir.

Are you familiar with a program called

the Cooperative Global Messaging

Initiative?Sounds

like she is. It's an intelligence

partnership. Do you want to?

No. I'm excited to hear it from you.

The CIA director and the head of MI6 are

both giving public remarks to remind

anyone who may want to defect,

particularly say from Russia, that we are

open for business. Open doors, open

windows. Stop. Walk through our open door

before the GRU throws you out an open

window. It makes the Kremlin think that

their people are turning on them. So is a

lot of paranoia. Smart. We did the same

thing with Tom. Did it work?

But destabilize him. If

we took point... Who's

we?Embassy London. If we took point for

Europe?All of Europe. London is a gateway

to everywhere. Sorry, what's the

problem?Nothing. Can we

discuss it?I'm happy to discuss it. I'm

going to be gone. The next guy in my job

can deal with a parade of yahoos who show

up wanting a new identity and a flat in

Mayfair. You're not going to be gone.

Particularly if you are running the

program.

But they need a point person. They

do. Because nobody in the world wants

to do it. It's labor intensive. For who?

State?For the CIA. State

takes credit. Meanwhile, my station is

flooded with desperate souls, bearing no

real intelligence.

Whatever. Not my station anymore. If you

are running a multinational project, it's

a lot harder to fire you.

Is this for real?

Walk with me for a minute?

I know it's not ideal, and I know you're

not crazy about it, but maybe it's

something to think about. It isn't.

Anything else?I'm so

sorry. Washington was a **** show. It's

fine. I got swept up in the hell machine,

and it ****** ** my meeting with Diane.

She understands. She does. I called her

last night. She thinks I can make more

headway with the brisk than she could

anyway. I have a meeting today at the

Foreign Office. How about you join me and

we sit with Denison after?Together. The

ship has sailed. It hasn't. Diane?Diane

Klack is ******.

The director of the CIA made time on her

schedule and you stood her up.

Her message is now you can handle it

yourself. Well, I'm

going to handle it.

She's supposed to be me. April. A walking

haystack. She's a decoy, not a devil.

What's the difference?Decoy isn't

one-to-one. Wooden duck, real duck.

In this case, is wooden duck also the

decoy for a mental patient?It's a

standard precaution. Get her a hairbrush.

I'll be out in half hour. This is where

you stop walking. I'm happy to come

along. Okay, don't you guys usually wait

at the bottom of the stairs?Mr.

Buonaventura was uncomfortable with our

protocol. This is a

secure building. There are police at

every entrance. Unfortunately, we have a

mandated perimeter. Two meters. Yes.

Which is six feet. We can't

protect you from downstairs. This is not

going to work for me. That's how we

always handle it. You've worked with

someone who's Ambassador and Second Lady

at the same time?Ma'am, due respect to

the Foreign Service, if you're shot dead,

the headline of your obituary will read

Second Lady Killed. Who's going to shoot

me?You're the only people in this entire

country carrying guns. Ambassador.

Good morning. Good morning. Welcome.

Molin Green, Minister of State for

Climate, Environment and Energy. My

office is this way. Thank you for taking

the time to meet me. Not at all. Not at

all. Always be happy. Aha! Mrs.

Vice President. Prime Minister. You.

Oh, good to see you. Sir. So,

what's it again?Oh, Mr. Green and I were

just about to sit down. Yes, we were just

heading in the other direction. Meeting

Ambassador and I were planning to speak

about the drilling majors. We hope to

have a proposal ready for you. I'm not

today. Good morning, madam. Good morning.

Right. How are we?

Oh.

Candid.

Sit.

Thank you. So, how

can I help?Well, the

Danish Prime Minister and Foreign

Minister, and the sort of the environment,

many days. Indeed.

They are concerned about the potential

for cataclysmic damage to the marine

ecosystem. We're looking for ways to

address those concerns without ignoring

your very real need for energy

independence. Well, it's fragile, the

North Atlantic. Sea.

Pardon?The North Sea, sorry,

not the North Atlantic.

to Denmark's intelligence or their

shipping routes. No, they do drill

there too, the virtuous stains.

Perhaps they just don't want it eating

off their plate. They're scaling back.

The United States would consider it an

act of very good faith, if you could as

well. Perhaps forty percent right away

with a commitment to...

to a timeline.

But nobody would be happier than us,

genuinely. But that is the whole of

Europe dependent on the traditional

pipeline. We love to lecture autographs,

but if we go back to Russian oil, we're

not fighting fascism, we're funding it.

If we double down on oil, we are not

fighting the climate catastrophe, we are

feeding it. A conundrum wrapped in

something else. But sir, if we don't find

a way from the White House, are they

leaning in?Well, the State

Department. If it's a White House

request, then I'd be delighted to discuss

it. Perhaps chat with our

man in Washington.

I'm sorry?

Is House short for Harold or Henry?

Um, well, neither. It's... Look at you.

All the flutter at the thought of him. A

phone call will do, but if he prefers

video conferencing, then I'm agnostic.

sir and and you and Greenwich

come along we can hash it out in the car

you can prepare me to speak with your

liege I would

love to excellent

where are you she's eating me alive

Dennis the prime minister I'm calling

Dennis's office now and tell him you're

coming in without me he'll get it I was

window dressing anyway you weren'tI was

supposed to sit there modestly while you

explained why I'm integral to the safety

of the free world. I will say that on the

phone, and then you just waltz in there

and dazzle. I'm getting fired. I

hate it. He knows you're indispensable.

You're just giving him some language to

use Kurvage. And maybe it gives.

Kurvage likes a brag. I think this is

going in the wrong direction. Not cash.

Don's solid, hands on lace. The

Cooperative Global Messaging Initiative.

e-mail. Open doors, open windows. The

PM's on his way to make sure you get in

the car. Can you just try it?Kate,

I'm calling Dennison now. Gabble! Theysay

we can still provide them a way. Good

afternoon, sir. Ms. Buck, good to see

you. I'm sorry the Ambassador isn't able

to join us. The PM really values her

counsel.

We kept you waiting. I hope you forgive

us. I said you leave

my friend outside and we've got a Faraday

bag in the hall. Shall I take yours too?

Thank

you, Jared.

Please.

Margaret Roylan. Is the

Foreign Secretary aware that you and I

conferred directly about Roylan on

Tuesday?He is. I shared every

detail. Forensics, remediation... Did

anyone encourage her?To

swallow a bottle of pills?

I think this is a conversation we should

continue in the presence of the legal

attache and perhaps counsel from... Did

he ask you to do it?

Who?The ambassador's new

very dear friend.

The adjoining rooms have been cleared. No

one's listening or recording. You're sure?

Because if I'm following, this is

dicier for you two than for me. That's

correct.

So you want to know if

your prime minister asked me to murder

the woman who got him elected?

If we're not being recorded, you can

respond vocally.

I would like to know if the Prime

Minister asked you to murder the woman

that got him elected. No.

Other questions?Eidra.

Tom. This is not about

you. This is about Nicole. I got that.

And the answer is still... And what the

**** happened?

Nothing about her suggested a suicide

risk. I never would have left her alone.

It was medication for sciatica.

I am as mystified and upset

and as appointed in myself as you are. No

I think you've done fine work here. I'd

like you to stay. But under the

circumstances, unless we find something

to put the Prime Minister back on his

heels, he would like to let you go.

I would love to keep my job.

And I'd love to tell you the Prime

Minister solicited a CIA assassination in

order to do it, but he didn't.

Is there anything else that might

convince him to keep me on?

We haven't come up with anything.

Is the Foreign Secretary familiar with

the Global Communication Cooperation

Initiative?I'm

not sure this is the right time for it.

Hi. How bad is it?

White House press office called. It

appears 10 Downey Street's entire feet is

pictures of you in a PM. Think that was

my idea?He's a bit of a side hugger, huh?

The only thing he could commit to during

a three hour long conversation was that

he'd like to be guest of honor at this

new administration's first state dinner.

But he's not head of state. Does he know

that a state dinner means that the guest

of honor is... The king?Yes. He

said they're ready to modernize the

monarchy. By making him part of it?

Every time they tried to bring up the

******* drilling licenses, he was death

for like three seconds. And then,

suddenly, we were talking about HAL

again. Why?Why what?

Why HAL?Why not?

Apparently, one can always talk about

HAL. It's not subject dependent. It

turns out, the only live human on the

face of the Earth the PM is prepared to

talk to about oil extraction and maritime

circus plate, HAL Lyler.

Do you want to call him?No. Should

I?No.

What about Ganon?I probably didn't give a

**** about the state. He wants White

House. He's not going to say that to

Ganon's face. Let him get the ball

rolling. Okay, it's not a terrible

minute with Idra. She's not

think it went very well. ****.

**** um, Trowbridge wants me at this

someone bring something from the house

for me to wear?Black?Simple?

Simple!

Secretary's already on there. He is?

Thank you. Mr.

Secretary, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to

keep you waiting. No, no. I didn't want

to keep you waiting. Congratulations.

Law of the Sea Treaty. Very impressive.

You know Hal. Likes to make an entrance.

What can I do for you?Tanya Bengali gave

me a call. She's our guy in... Denmark.

Is this about the drilling licenses?

Exactly. Minor issue. But somehow

the Prime Minister got involved and wants

to draw in the White House. My hope is

that you step in. I agree with the Prime

Minister. You do. If we're

not aligned with the White House, I don't

intend to swim upstream.

I think the White House... would be happy

to have you swim pretty much anywhere

Kate if how wants me fired

he should do it not send you to test me

I'm sorry I supported his nomination from

the word go I stumped for him all over

the hill Mr. Secretary I am not

after him I have never been after him we

had a simple disagreement about strategy

in Tel Aviv not even strategytactics.

Sir Bill Rayburn, God bless his soul,

came up with this story that I wanted Hal

barred from the administration. I said I

didn't want him on the seventh floor with

me. That's a very different thing. Whoa,

whoa, whoa. Let's slow down here.

How'd it go again in?He definitely took

the call seriously. Good. He wants to

know if Hal is going to fire him, or send

him on special assignment to the

Antipodes. What?And if it isn't too much

trouble, could I call Hal?

Could I end a good word?No. Do I have ask

me to call Hal tattooed on my forehead,

and I'm the only one who doesn't know it?

It's a phase. It'll pass.

I hate to be on the extremely annoying

bandwagon, but... I think it might be

time to put your head down, Colonel.

Sorry. Want to know

something, Phil?I already did. Oh.

What did he say?Couldn't get past the

secretary. I couldn't even get Nora. They

said he'd call me back. He hasn't.

It's a demanding job. He'll call.

Did they give me address?Oh, yeah. It's

Plenty says it's an American designer.

Great.

I guess it's simple in this way.

I'm going to a cocktail party. I

talked to Denison about you. Great.

No. I can't

have

this. Their one hope for my professional

survival was

that I had forced Roylin to shove

a bottle of pills down her throat at the

behest of the Prime Minister.

He didn't. No.

Because you didn't know. What the ****

were you checking?I was so

desperate after the *************

open door fiasco. Good. They

turned it down.

Let me talk to Crowbridge. Okay. No, I

thought he liked me before. Now we're

trading friendship bracelets and braiding

each other's hair. Eva, you can't fix

this one. Let me try. When is the magical

thinking going to stop?

You seem to think that being Second Lady

of the United States and Ambassador to

the Court of St. James are two part-time

jobs you can do and still watch Wimbledon

at the end of the day. The

only way you can do both of those jobs at

the same time is to do them both poorly.

Still nothing?

Hey, Hal, call back. Uh, let me go check

with Neil. No, I already asked him. I

thought he might have called for you.

Sorry, no. If he calls,

and O'Neil knows, even if it's Nora, if

anyone from the Vice President's office

calls tonight, I want him to put me

through. Make sure he does. It's

not like I don't wash it.

It's a style. That style is...

Not looking like he spent hours because

some people have more important things to

do.

It's not couldn't get the top up on the

convertible.

Excuse

me for one minute. Ambassador.

Nice dress.

American designer. Nice digs.

British designer. Repression meets

in breadsheet. Sorry to

crash. Trowbridge insisted. Oh, I know.

He's been talking about you. I'm so

sorry. Not at all. I understand you've

been a great help with our billing

I doubt I'll pull it off. Nichols said

the Vice President has taken a personal

interest. Jesus. No?The

Vice President doesn't know anything

about it yet. This is the Vice President.

Gonna miss you, good I. And that dress

not be good. Darwin?Oh.

What have you been up to since our party?

Oh, a little tanning, a little breathing

for pleasure. Witty, witty, witty, witty.

I'm actually in a bit of a conundrum, and

I think you may be the only man who can

help. Well, I hope I can.

There's been a bit of a misunderstanding

around our chief of station. A woman

died in her custody. What have I failed

it properly. I'm not going to blame it on

the death of President Reagan. My focus

was fit, and the instructions... No, you

herself. No, of course I didn't. It's

laudable, taking responsibility for an

incompetent underling. I do it all the

time. It's bunk. Sir,

this is a relationship that I value, and

I know you do too. Sadie. I'm

serious. I am asking you to do this

for me.

Done.

Really?What at Halsa?

About?The North Sea.

Not to be confused by the North Atlantic,

which I'm told is on the Asaltina.

Well, he agrees. With whom?

You. Excellent.

Nolan. Sir.

The United States is rested to have us

hand Russia our testicles on a train.

Energy security is national security, is

everyone's security. So tell the Danes

that neither I nor the White House can't

hear another word about the plight of

endangered coral. Prime Minister, don't

argue with me, take it up with the Second

Lady.

Hi, who am I speaking to?Hi

Priya, my name is Kate Wyler.

Yep, the very same.

Oh, that's very sweet. Priya, can you do

me a favor and get my husband on the

Liler, it's Dora.

I'm Steph, say I don't, but I can get

right back to you. I called earlier today

and a very enthusiastic person named

Destiny said Hal would get right back to

me. That was four hours ago. I am so

sorry that it's terrible. I will talk to

her. I don't think she's the problem. Can

you call him?This will be like 2 minutes.

I really wish I could. Dora. I'm not

going to do this very often, and I

guarantee it hurts me more than it hurts

the nation. He and I are in a meeting. I

stepped out. I wanted to make sure you

knew your top of the call list, but I'm

Byron says you sometimes make phone calls

in the restroom.

Does he?I couldn't help it over here.

We're about to have a problem, you and I.

If you're speaking to the White House,

particularly if you're speaking to the

Vice President... I wasn't, if you were

paying attention. Please allow us to

furnish you with a hard line. You can run

one anywhere you like.

That's lovely. I am expecting a call

from the Vice President. I would like you

to furnish me for the hard line. We're

here to work with you, ma'am. You know

what?Take the win.

This dialogue is of great comfort to my

government and I hope to your west. We

wish to communicate optimism,

our desire to make our armed forces

strongerand more combat ready

indicates only a healthy wish to

defend our borders. I'm so sorry,

Minister. I had to ask you to excuse me

for a moment. Of course. Thank you. Where

are you going?I'll make a call. To?

Hawaii's gonna be quick. Sir, you can't

walk out on the Chinese just because your

wife called. You see this word?This means

miscarriage, car crash, act of

God. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I got that.

Thank you. Anytime.

Hello?You okay?Fine, you?What

happened?Nothing, listen. You're backing

a pretty muscular plan for oil extraction

in the North Sea. What?Turns out,

you're a drill, drill, drill guy, and

that's gonna upset Denmark. So we need to

offer them something, like maybe... An

upgrade to the early warning system at a

space space, which is called... the

tootheek, which, in writing, looks like

it's pronounced ******* but it's not. But

the danger too. That's what Trowbridge

said. I had visions of you

with all your teeth knocked out in a

mouth full of blood. What?I thought

something had happened. Why?Arden!

I... I have my piece. Jesus! I hit the...

Trying to reach you. Yeah, I heard.

Nora is walking a thin line today. And

Destiny is getting blamed for it, which

is ********. She's a jam. What?Listen,

you can walk back to your aggressive

support of fossil fuels next week. Just

get me past this cocktail party.

That's why I just walked out from the

Chinese Foreign Minister?

Kate?Yeah.

I had brief remarks this morning

with a conference of mayors. Hi,

how are you doing?God bless America. You

have any drafts it went through?

Discussing any drafts. You just put me

out ahead of the White House on resource

extraction. Now the President has to

wider distance herself from me, which

she'll do by saying I'm a moron, or

sanction the rape and pillage of maritime

ecosystems in the North Sea.

I have everything you need?Yeah, I'm

good, thank you. What's going on?Who's

that?The foreign secretary. Of

Denmark?No, I'm at Denison's house,

which makes Downing Street look like a

real shithole. Cozy?

It's a party, to which I was not invited.

Well, I'm sure he couldn't be happier he

showed up. Let me explain why I'm here,

wearing a spectacularly uncomfortable

dress. Trowbridge has glued

himself to me like some kind of parasitic

barnacle in the hopes of getting your

attention. You can't play the white card

every time your host country needs a

favor. My host country doesn't need a

favor. Denmark needs a favor, and this

isn't the white card. This is the

ambassador card. Next time, I'll call the

president. She still takes my calls.

Perfect. the way if you're in with the

Chinese how about you tell them the Hong

Kong monetary Authority's AI transaction

monitoring isn't a menace it's puppet

theater and if they can keep it in their

pants for five straight minutes it'll

collapse under its own weight

he said to his people one very cold

last year but on the other hand it'll be

easier the next year

hey hi I'm still in your office I

I need to get out of here without

crossing the PM's path. I didn't want to

leave without saying goodbye, but I'm

I'll come show you that.

Sorry to pull you. No, no, it's fine.

There is an undersecretary whose entire

portfolio is pulling me from the vent in

my own home before I say what I actually

think. Sorry about the dash. Not what?

Secure communication with you-know-whom.

Ah, yes. The distance must be difficult.

I am not my business. I am sorry.

Are we friends?I know. It's a weird

question, but I feel like we are, and...

this turned totally upside down in a way

which should be liberating, but is not,

and I can't tell anyone in the whole world

Well then... Then you should tell

me.

We're separated, Hal and I.

But... Yeah. I am

Second Lady of the United States, but we

have an understanding. It's

very French. Is it?

Who has understandings?Is that you guys?

Oh, I thought it was the French, but...

We're done.

I know I told you that before, but now

he agrees and I agree and...

everyone except the American people, so I

am going to show up for photo ops, but,

um, it's over.

Don't tell anyone. It's unlikely

I will. Yeah, it is, because you're a

good guy.

No, that's sounded condescending, and

that's...

It's more obvious.

**** okay, it's been a long decade.

Sorry, I'm not following. I think I'm

propositioning you.

pretend it's because I had a bad day,

which, in fact, I did.

But I think I also want you to know that

my marriage is over, officially.

And if that's what

you would consider

Actionable intelligence.

I'm gonna get go in.

I'm sorry that was... I'm so

sorry. Can we make a ground rule that you

do not apologize doing any of this?You're

trying to leave?No, I'm trying to get you

to take your shirt off. Uh... It's

medieval. Impenetrable. You know,

Skipper, I barely have moves.

Maybe with a jacket?There's a lot

of buttons. Kate. You're sorry?

I'm not. I've never been less

sorry about anything.

this is a really bad idea. On a personal

level, I have been

thinking about this for a very long time,

like in detail.

Unless you're trying to let me down easy,

which I'm not. If making out with me was

better in fantasy than in reality, that's

cool. I want to lick you until you

scream. I just think the timing is bad. I

don't

think it is.

No. Is it the White House?If not, how,

okay?He's locked down with Chinese. Then

it could be someone from the White House

who's gone to the trouble of quality in

my study. I think it's prudent...

...to paper crawl.

This is the Ambassador. They're going to

be very unhappy. I think we're going to

work it out. Are you familiar with the

B-Defeek space station?I'm sorry, what's

what?B-Defeek. Chancellor Wiechecker

asked the PM if he's prepared to phase

out non-domstatus. Please tell them that

he'll respond. Lewis, he

was born without the blessing of the

****. He has a flap of

epidermis, but there's no discernible

role. I said, Sit down, Lewis. This is

going to hurt. This whole operation,

balls. I know that might not be a strong

point.

I don't love being watched, and I think

I'm safe here in the backseat. Can you

maybe look at the view for a second?

Hello?
