Original subtitles

Well, we got your boy in Ukraine.

About 48 hours later, senior case officer overseeing the mission had two

Russian contract agents at the fucking front door.

You're answering for Russia? It's fucking Russians. They're a different

breed. Don't you fucking call me that.

That's what you are. You're a fucking Russian.

I'm going to a family meeting.

Okay, let me have it.

We want you to quit.

Girls. I'm a soldier, and a soldier's job is to fight until the soldier is

unable to fight or until the fight is over.

I'm sorry. This followed me home.

Your fucking people came after me and my family. You know what they say. A

soldier's oath is his family's oath.

My number's in it.

We start now.

The one thing that made the United States so dangerous for so long

was that your people believed in a fantasy of freedom.

But now, that fantasy is fading.

In its place, the reality that man is not meant to be free

would attack like the wolf.

Unlike the wolf, we need a leader.

The rule can be just, can be fair, but it must be absolute.

Here people are waking up to that reality.

They don't know it's what they need yet.

First they must lose everything, all order, then they're gonna throw away

their freedom like trash and beg for leader.

He already did it once with COVID. One bad cold shattered the illusion that

your independence is yours.

Is that what Russia has, huh?

A just leader?

Fucking career KGB agent turned dictator?

You really think that moron's a pack leader, huh?

You're getting the shit kicked out of you by the most obsolete, inept and

corrupt army in all of Central Europe.

You wanna know why that is?

Because we put a few hundred boots on the ground and we stopped your punk ass

as cold.

Your entire shitty half-witted convict ass army.

Using the same weapon the Taliban shoved up your fucking asshole in 1980.

Afghanistan is using your weapons now.

The weapons left behind when you ran away.

Birdbath water drip. Those are nasty tricks.

I might have to steal that.

But spare me the fucking lectures on failed societies, okay?

Russia disproved every political theory Marx ever made in spectacular

fashion. You even managed to kill more of your own people than the whole

fucking German army ever did in the process.

A failed monarchy, a failed democracy, failing as a dictatorship.

The only reason why Russia still exists.

is because nobody wants to take away that frozen shithole from you.

But I get it.

You gotta go through the motions and try to flip me.

Be my guest.

I'll just lay back and listen.

This is not my job.

Once we get you home, I'll show you my job.

And I'm an expert.

Get ready. Get ready.

Get ready.

Get ready. Get ready.

Get ready.

Come on, come on.

We missed.

QRF retrieved her beacon.

Her beacon, not her.

That is correct.

Any indication where she is now?

NSA has a database of vehicles that have entered and exited the Russian embassy.

We're cross-referencing that.

with state police license readers.

What's that going to accomplish?

By now, an SVR case officer is almost certainly overseeing her movements.

Any senior-level case officer is going to have diplomatic immunity.

We are cross-referencing diplomatic plates with PD database to see if anyone

in the proximity of her last known location.

What is their objective?

Logistically, it's to get her out of the States, get her back to Russia, where I

assume they're going to reach out to negotiate a trade with Yurimov.

And Urimov is in Gitmo, right?

Yes, sir.

Can I assume your officers have interviewed Mr. Urimov?

You can, sir.

And did anything of value come out of those interviews?

We are investigating the information that he's provided thus far. We expect

it to appear useful on the surface, but most of the information is likely

planted with the purpose of it being offered, sir. Close.

Any valuable intel that Urimov holds, the Russians are likely altering as we

speak. Talk us through the worst-case scenario here.

Worst case?

How bad can this fucking thing get?

SBR has some knowledge of the Lioness program. They even have some limited

knowledge of specific operations, but they don't have definitive proof of

those operations.

Joe can provide that.

What intelligence value do past operations hold?

None to speak of, but that's not the purpose.

What would be the purpose?

Knowledge of...

specific lioness targets could be released publicly, creating severe

diplomatic consequences for us with various strategic partners in the Middle

East, the Saudis, Qatar, UAE, Egypt.

It would greatly compromise us in the region.

And the political damage domestically, that is very difficult to predict.

I mean, what position does the UN take? What is the position of Congress?

Do they see this as an opportunity to blame the administration?

Based on the current climate, I would certainly think so.

This is the worst-case scenario.

No, ma'am. It gets worse?

Worst-case scenario is Russia does not release the information. Russia turns

her over to Iran.

Iran releases the information, tries her, and finds her guilty.

I need a timeline.

She is most likely still in the D.C. area.

Moving her by vehicle is risky.

Every time they do so, they increase the chances that we intercept.

They're going to need to get her on a plane out of the area, and then another

plane out of the United States.

24 to 36 hours, and she is likely on a plane to Russia indirectly.

Possibly Cuba, but that's unlikely given the fact that we are monitoring every

aircraft in that region. We have FBI and CED at Dulles Reagan National College

Park, Manassas. A more reliable method of moving human cargo, albeit slower, is

by ship.

We are moving resources to the ports of Virginia, Baltimore, Philadelphia.

JSOC has units in Wilmington, Moorhead City, and the inland port in Charlotte.

I think it's time to inform the president.

I disagree.

What? Respectfully, I disagree, sir.

I think the fewer people that know this, the better. For now.

POTUS is going to be inclined to inform Senate Intelligence, and then Senate

Intelligence informs 700 staffers, and then we've just told the whole world.

Find them, Aaron.

Fall out from this shit is limitless.

We are aware, sir.

Do it.

Thank you.

That's right. Now you get to Quantico and take it over.

Bring in Delta, Ground Branch, everyone.

Yes, sir.

Yes. Okay. NSA has a hit. All right. Yankee Romeo 656759.

759. All right. Where are you, you motherfucker?

Okay. I got him on 16th about three hours ago.

495 to the 95.

Find me a ping on a tower, Bobo.

Working on it.

195. Oh, he's going to the fucking airport.

Damn it. Give me a cell, Bobo.

Working on it.

He took friendship.

All right, I got him.

He's still there.

All right, he's in a hangar right fucking here. Okay, we have a location

coordinates coming your way. I need the plane assigned to that hangar and that

location. And how the fuck do we approach?

I'll have eyes on the second we land on the FBO.

Hey, can you put us on the roof?

You got a bird?

Are you kidding me? I need a little birth, mare branch, ATC, got to clear

supply path to location.

Okay, got it.

Okay, stay in contact.

Let's go

check.

Is she still here? Is who still here? Give me your fucking hands.

Give me your fucking hands, bitch.

Shit.

Bobby. Yeah.

Blood on the floor?

Looks like you missed a spot, motherfucker!

We have diplomatic immunity.

Do you look like the fucking police to you?

Fuck, Kyle!

We're not here to arrest you.

You gotta give me something or I'm gonna fucking kill you and I'm gonna dump your

body in the Potomac.

Tail number.

Better kill me.

Hey, Kyle. Kyle.

Let's just have CED come get these motherfuckers and take the intel back to

base. We're good.

I don't think you understand what they'll do to her when they get her out

of this country.

Tale number.

M-5-6-5

-K-J.

November 565, Kilo Juliet.

Okay, tracking's being blocked.

I'm going to check with BWATP.

Departed 1107 BWIVFR at 8500.

At least you were telling the truth.

Land the bird and pick us up.

What about these guys?

It's their fucking mess. They'll clean it up.

Who are they going to tell?

Let's fucking go. Police up the intel. Let's move.

Let's move!

No, I need every tower. Every tower's flight log. What do you have?

They loaded her onto a Challenger 300. It has a 3,400 nautical mile radius.

That gives us Cuba. That gives us Mexico and Venezuela.

We have jets right now off the coast of Florida and a fourth fleet that's

scrambled in the Caribbean. They're going to need mission clarity if they

engage. Are you tracking the flight?

They're below 18,000. I can't. The locator's been disabled and there is no

flight plan that was submitted.

She's on a jet.

Destination unknown.

Transponder disabled.

Air assets are searching now.

We're going to need guidance if contacted me.

If located in U.S. airspace, our jets maneuver to force landing.

If found in international, bear to engage.

Can I get a word, ma'am?

Warren, please.

What is it?

My understanding of the ROE is fired, fired upon, or credible threat is

present. You understand correctly.

Well, that motherfucker right there just executed a Russian intelligence officer

while he was immobilized in front of us. And I don't feel like fucking going to

jail for Kyle. Let me explain what happens when I get her to a secure

location.

They either torture the name of every case officer, every safe house, every

operation, every asset, everything that she knows.

Endangering the lives of fuck knows how many operators we have deployed, our

FOBs in Ukraine, our travel routes, every goddamn thing.

Or, and even worse, they drop her off in Tehran where she's paraded around until

she's tried and stoned to death, or hung, or shot.

Or worse still, Iran hands her over to Hezbollah.

which paralyzes us in the region, because now they have a female U.S.

citizen convicted of Iranian war crimes.

Now the pressure's on Israel, because Hezbollah is going to demand that Tel

Aviv unlock every prison door and let their fucking army out.

What do we do, huh? What do we give up when Israel doesn't do that?

This is how presidents lose elections, how parties lose majority in the House

and the Senate, how the U.N.

starts war crime tribunals, because everybody in the fucking world, minus

the U.K., wants us weaker.

And the way the U.K. is going, they're going to want it, too.

So, yeah, I treated this like war.

Well, it is fucking war.

Yeah, that all sounds good.

Except there's a dead body in the airplane hangar.

Like, I'm no homicide detective.

It sure seems like a fucking execution to me. All right, all right. Who's going

to report it?

Huh?

Two Russian spies who kidnapped a U.S. citizen?

That body was gone before we even got back here. It ain't ever getting found.

It's still a fucking execution, Kyle.

I got the tail number, didn't I? Adhere to the ROEs in place. Do you understand

me? I'm treating all of this as hearsay until evidence to the contrary starts

popping up. And if it does, Kyle, You are on your own.

Until that time, both of you stand down and go find our fucking girl.

Yes, ma'am.

Double agent in Wipro?

Yeah. Bring her back.

All of their supply routes have been in place for years. Safe houses, travel

routes, all of it. And just like ours, none of it is written down. It's

memorized. She's going to know. I don't have the juice to make that call.

I will make it. Walk with me.

You have relaxed our release due to your status in the assembly, but they don't

want this thing.

Your rules are different to theirs. Don't play outside the lines with them.

I named someone to play outside the lines.

They're complete.

CIA Deputy Director Westfield is here for you, sir.

Send him in.

Baron? Ten minutes.

I missed her by ten fucking minutes.

We've identified the plane, though.

Planes are hard to hide.

Yeah. They're trying to get her out of the country.

Very much so.

Nowhere from Darkiev?

No.

Oh, they're not going to acknowledge until she's on Russian soil.

Then, of course, they'll call and want to make a trade.

We worry they might want something else.

Like what?

It's been a series of embarrassments for them.

Ukrainian intelligence officer infiltrating SVR.

Our ability to take Urimov from Russian-controlled territory.

It's a massive, massive intelligence failure on their part.

Our operations and assistance have effectively shut down the Russian

offensive for almost three years.

I worry they want to embarrass us back.

I'm going to accuse this of having Yerimov. They haven't even asked the

question. They are that embarrassed.

Joe Seder's been in the Middle East for the entirety of her career.

She doesn't even have relevant intelligence to give them, but what she

could provide Iran and the opportunities that she presents for them in their

proxies.

If Russia just hands her off, it becomes the sole focus of your foreign policy

without leverage until it's resolved.

And getting her back is going to be very, very expensive.

Had an awful lot of problems.

Got any solutions?

We admit to having Urimov?

We offer him back.

He's given us no useful information, and the only way to get real information

leaves him in no condition to return.

We justify taking him by claiming fear of a new Russian offensive.

Use it to negotiate a ceasefire. We'd only give a shit if we get one, but it

gives us the justification for the operation in the first place.

It doesn't offer me any leverage.

They could release that to the press.

Now I've got 60 minutes doing a story on U.S. intelligence and military

operations in Ukraine.

The leverage is in the threat that comes next.

If she's released to a proxy, that presence increases dramatically, as does

its purpose.

Well, this I'll have to discuss with the president.

and Senate Intelligence and the Joint Chiefs. And I point out that none of

them is aware that we ran a capture mission in Russia.

You think it's time for that?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry to say it's time for that.

Step outside.

Give me a minute, please.

Yes, sir.

I need him.

No, I need him now.

Mr. President, we have a situation.

You're late for school, girls.

No, I got their assignments for the week. They'll do them here, and then

I'll turn them in.

Why would you do that? Because when their soldier escorts decided to treat

road construction like a fucking ambush in Syria, I made a judgment call that

dying in a car wreck was more detrimental to their grade point average

than doing their homework here at our fake home.

Can I have a word with you? Sure.

Guys, come on. Please don't fight.

This is bad enough about you two fighting.

We're not fighting, honey. Serious situations require serious

conversations, and that's what we're having.

They're going to fight, 100%.

What

are you doing?

If everything's going to hell, then it's going to hell with me eating ice cream.

All right, give me some.

You have surgery today?

Nope, punt of the day. I want to stay with the girls.

One of my team is going to take you out to the range.

I want you familiar enough with a pistol. Joe, that is completely

unnecessary. It's an overreaction, I know, but I'd rather you prepared for a

fight than ever come and find yourself in a fight you're not prepared for. Joe,

we have been through this. I took an oath.

You took an oath. Our oaths couldn't be more different, but I still took it.

Yeah, do you know harm? I know that oath. Yes, that's the one. I'm not

asking you to shoot one of your patients, Neil. You have the too

humanity, Joe. Well, your oath is naive because only doctors are adhering to

that oath. The rest of the world is using harm like it's a form of currency.

Your world. The world, Neil. Your world. No, and judging by the two people that

showed up at our fucking front door.

The world is here.

It doesn't matter how it got here. It's here, Neil.

And it seems to me that failing to protect yourself and our two daughters

is a greater harm than doing harm to those that would harm them. Can you just

follow the fucking logic to that? No, I follow it.

Just do it to pacify me, okay?

Yeah. The odds you'll ever use what you learn are very slim, Neil.

Why don't I just take them to my mother's? Because you're safer here.

If I'm safer here, why am I taking a gun class?

You too. I love you.

Love you.

Bye, guys.

Is this you?

against U.S. government officials as well as state and local... I told you I

don't believe the news.

You didn't answer my question.

I'm keeping my word, Neil, and I'm solving the problem, okay?

Bye.

Wait, wait, Jill.

I'm not mad.

I know that it seems that I am. I'm not.

Rachel, I'm scared for you.

I'm scared for our daughters.

I'm scared that we live in a world where this can happen and how we became that

world. It's just, it's very disheartening.

The very first political assassination was

a pharaoh named Teddy.

The 23rd century B.C.

One can argue Christ was also a political assassination.

James I of Scotland, Spencer Percival, Lincoln, Franz Ferdinand,

Sadat, Gandhi, Kennedy, King.

The world didn't become this way, Neil.

It's always been this way.

Getting in the game?

Yes.

And we're going to trust this Russian? She's Ukrainian.

And we're going to trust this Ukrainian?

We don't trust anybody.

Come on in, Joe.

Word is out. I saw.

I want a very clear objective for this operation, very clear and very specific.

Operation name is Treasure.

Our Ukrainian asset is Badger. Your team is Hornet. The SMU attachment is Spider.

SVR officers are Gold and their assets Silver.

Now, when Russian intelligence makes contact with a source and then develops

that source into an asset, that asset's identity is shared with SVR handlers to

prevent multiple handlers working the same person.

Now, the handler in contact, however, is not shared.

So Badger would know within her network who was being recruited, but she doesn't

know who recruited them. We feel like today's announcements will rattle assets

much more than it will Russian intelligence.

We will place a line that's in close proximity to the assets and offer them a

way out in exchange for identifying the handler controlling them.

Define a way out. That's up to you, FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office.

And I assume it's on a case-by-case basis.

U.S. attorneys are going to treat a house representative staffer, stored by

some stripper, very different than they will a software engineer from Lockheed

who takes a hundred grand for hard data.

Whatever you offer has to be vague.

We aren't in Marrakesh. These people are going to hire attorneys, and they are

going to use the press to their advantage any way they can. Most SVR

officers have cover as state officials with diplomatic immunity.

All we can do is detain and deport.

Just be mindful of that.

Yes, sir. I want thorough updates, and I want them often.

By often, I mean daily.

You'll get them.

Thank you.

Deputy Ambassador reached out.

Hmm. That's not surprising.

He wants to meet.

What time?

Where? Seven.

Where do you think?

Care to run interference?

How much interference?

Not that they notice.

I can't even feel like the Cold War.

I wouldn't know I was still in school.

So was I.

It's just how I imagine it.

You got to save all the way.

Do what I'm told, brother.

I don't know.

What's your cover?

Staff for this guy.

You don't look like a chief of staff.

Oh, yeah? You don't look like a Democrat, either. What the fuck is that

supposed to mean?

Hey, hey, hey, man. You're looking in the fucking mirror.

Tell me what you see, all right? Because I'll tell you what the whole fucking

world sees.

The world sees a guy who looks like he just rebuilt a carburetor.

Well, that's why I'm shaving, bud.

Shaving ain't gonna help.

Oh, no.

What's your cover, huh?

That ain't creepy middle school gym teacher. You're fucked.

Yeah, you think that's funny, huh? I do. What's your cover? Oh, boys, boys, boys,

please, please. I'm just a defense contractor putting his feet up on the

main stage.

Fucking lucky bastard.

Yeah, well, I'm also putting your hard-earned tax dollars to work.

What an asshole.

Thank you for your service.

Are you aware you're an asshole? I fucking look good when I clean up, don't

I?

Don't I? You look like a bowling champion.

Okay. Oh, yeah, I know.

I'm a sparkle.

This'll work.

This is what I'm talking about.

This shit.

Yeah.

That shit.

I can't be with your big ass. I need some of this mirror action, too, man.

I don't know about him, but you're not the one to anybody.

I see you're trying to fool nobody.

That's right. I'm just trying to help you out in case you get in a bind.

You know, there's a lovely little leopard dress over there, Kyle.

Good on you. I'll tie it off for you later, if you like.

Hey.

Nothing about this is funny.

All right, boss.

Bobby. Sorry, boss. I'm trying.

Try harder.

You can't tell me that's not the reason they put faces on milk cartons

How about a vodka soda?

Heavy on the soda.

What about Deb?

No, I will pay cash.

Okay. Excuse

me.

No problem.

Sorry we're late.

It's fine. We've been enjoying the show.

You've been on quite the show yourself.

You don't even hide yours anymore.

Just send in soldiers.

Yeah, well, when you show up at my case officer's house posing as law

enforcement, we get a little jumpy.

Thank you.

A sparkling, please?

Was that your little dance this morning?

You called some cowboys from who knows where Russian intelligence?

You think that was us?

I know it was you.

Well, how do you know?

I expect your politicians to be bad liars.

But from you, I expect more. No, thank you. I've told you no lies, Maxim.

Not one.

An SVR intelligence officer contacted a CIA senior case officer offering

information regarding SVR sources.

strategic information, contingency capabilities.

Not the bullshit you've planted in Trojan horses, but legitimate

information and assets, both here and abroad.

See? That is how you lie.

And for what do they do this? What do they gain?

We're not Soviet Union. They don't need to defect.

If they want to stay here, they already have a passport, they apply for a visa,

and they stay.

They quit their job with us and start a new job with you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Russian citizens have fought in your army, in your special forces.

We're a free country now, too.

Debatable. No debate.

Another reason you call me.

You're fishing.

Why?

What new game you think we're playing?

You tell me.

I'm not wasting my time playing this game.

You don't have anyone.

If you had somebody, we would know. If you turned one, you would never tell us

and you would never tell the news.

So, what the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck are you fishing for?

Let's talk about Ukraine.

Sure. What do you think you're doing there?

Protecting an ally from an authoritarian state.

Ukraine is our state.

It was part of Russia since before you were a nation.

Now it's all gangsters and thieves.

It's our Sicily, you understand?

It survives on payoffs and bribes from Europe, from you, from your politicians,

your companies.

It was broad basket of Europe. It was our industrial center for 250 years.

This is not your war. It's our war. I don't choose the wars, Maxim. You know

that. But you fight it anyway.

I do what I'm told.

We lost something that is very valuable to our president.

Sorry to hear that.

We think maybe it was stolen, this thing.

Maybe... You know where it is?

We're going to need more information. We'd be happy to help you, just need to

know what we're looking for.

You know.

What do we know?

They would tell you.

They would have to.

Listen, if we can be helpful, we'll be helpful.

Now, we'll want something in return, but you have to ask for the favor.

Byron, I can't ask.

But if you find it, you'll know, and we'll want it back.

Yeah.

Fair enough.

Have fun with your pretend dress.

Run along now.

Oh, yes.

I guess we think it's our first day on the job.

Can't blame them for trying.

Let's see at the office.

Sure.

Do another one of those.

Thank you. My tab.

No, it's the company's tab. It's not even my tab, so it's fine.

Okay.

It's fine. Thank you, though.

Sure, sure.

Your company give out per diem in cash?

No, no.

I actually had my company card stolen last year, so, yeah, once bitten, twice

shy. Yeah. Thank you.

What's your business?

I am a consultant.

So a lobbyist.

Guilty.

What firm?

ADI.

That's my field. Oh.

I'm with Northrop.

You don't have that engineer look about you. No?

No.

Fails. Okay. Yes. See, that makes sense. That makes sense.

Charles.

Oh, that's funny.

What? It's not going to be hard to remember. Charlie.

No. Yeah.

Really? Charlie?

Thank you.

You're getting a lot of attention.

Yeah.

We're on one.

Can I get a beer?

Light blue shirt.

Look for the mark.

You can have a vodka soda, heavy on the soda.

Is that your girlfriend?

Oh, we're just having fun.

Sure looks like fun.

It is fun.

Really? Yeah.

I could use some fun.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Looks like small potatoes, boss.

You gotta get past 60,000 bees to find the queen, Bobby.

You're... You're all grown up.

Is your dad around?

Dad!

Your daughter didn't seem happy to see me.

She's not happy in general. They know something's up.

Did you tell them what I told you to say?

They can tell them why.

It's not one of my skills.

I don't feel like good news, Caitlin.

It's not?

We're close, but, um...

We're still a step behind, and time's not on our side.

So I'm going to share with you probably more than I should the three

possibilities.

One, we beat the clock, and she is home in a few days.

Two, the clock wins, and this could take time.

Real time.

What do you find real time?

Months.

Longer.

To negotiate the trade of an officer who is accused of espionage, if that's what

they accuse her of, it involves divulging very privileged, very precious

information, information that can put other officers in danger

and put our strategic partners and the military presence overseas in harm's

way.

These are very delicate negotiations.

They can be greatly influenced by any number of factors beyond our control.

What's three?

She doesn't come back with three.

Prepare for the third.

That way if it doesn't come true, relief will be your reward.

And if it does, you're prepared.

And you can be there for your children.

Her children.

I'm so sorry to do it to you, but she would want you to be ready.

Neil.

Yeah.

Which one do you think it is?

In your gut.

There's too many variables to rely on instinct.

The fuck does that mean? It means I don't know.

I don't fucking know.
