1
00:00:07,382 --> 00:00:13,178
The president would be more comfortable
if you told Russia you'd prefer they... not.
2
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,638
- [Vaughn] Come get their dead.
- Yes.
3
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:16,682
I'm going to say no to your fine idea.
4
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,225
I met with the PM tonight.
5
00:00:18,226 --> 00:00:20,853
Is she calling the Kremlin
and telling them to stay the hell out?
6
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:23,313
Yes, ma'am. She is.
7
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:26,984
- [Stuart] What's a Project 141 vessel?
- [Eidra] A Russian ship.
8
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:28,986
Billie said one just left Murmansk.
9
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:31,031
Russia's coming to get its sub.
10
00:00:33,241 --> 00:00:35,826
Ma'am, was Billie on your call
with the president last night?
11
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:37,870
'Cause she thinks
Vaughn called the Russians.
12
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:39,038
And we don't.
13
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,247
I lied to the president.
14
00:00:40,248 --> 00:00:43,167
- What happens when she talks to Vaughn?
- Hal will talk to Grace.
15
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:45,044
There are 50 steps on the ladder
16
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:48,088
before you tell someone
you're occupying their coastline.
17
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:50,299
I decided to jump to the one that works.
18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,385
Warships? What are you proving?
19
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:56,513
I heard Grace Penn ordered
the carrier attack.
20
00:00:56,514 --> 00:00:58,557
I tried to stop her and I couldn't.
21
00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:01,269
She's unfit for office.
22
00:01:01,936 --> 00:01:05,731
When you let me apologize
for emotional abuse...
23
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:07,649
- Hal--
- ...you were just looking for a way to say
24
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:10,360
you lied to the commander in chief
and wanted me for cover?
25
00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:14,199
Are you mad I lied, or that I jeopardized
your position with the president?
26
00:01:17,118 --> 00:01:17,951
Nobody thinks that.
27
00:01:17,952 --> 00:01:20,412
Of course they think
there's something wrong with you.
28
00:01:20,413 --> 00:01:23,123
You got shot, and your behavior changed.
29
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:25,459
The ambassador got worried.
30
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:26,710
That's her job.
31
00:01:26,711 --> 00:01:28,587
But then she lied to you.
32
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,547
Tomorrow, I want the Brits to be informed
33
00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:32,758
if they don't halt
the Russian advance, I will.
34
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,551
Todd will deliver the message.
35
00:01:34,552 --> 00:01:36,053
I'm grateful for your service.
36
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:37,597
Good night, Ambassador.
37
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:43,228
Good night.
38
00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:08,461
[gentle piano music playing]
39
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:28,398
[Hal] Where were you?
40
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:33,653
We're talking?
41
00:02:35,029 --> 00:02:36,114
[music ends]
42
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:42,495
Marty followed me,
so I'm pretty sure you know where.
43
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:45,540
Went for a walk.
44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,334
Secretary of state is concerned
that if we pull you,
45
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:52,672
it will look like something happened,
which of course it did, but...
46
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:58,261
announcing that our delegation fell apart
on the eve of the conference
47
00:02:59,137 --> 00:03:01,930
is off-message, so you'll go,
48
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:03,308
but you won't speak.
49
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:06,352
- Okay.
- At all.
50
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,396
Todd will speak.
51
00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:11,065
Okay.
52
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:14,067
Not even a little conspicuous.
53
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:15,236
[Hal] Excuse me?
54
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:18,948
I said it might be conspicuous
to the Brits.
55
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:22,075
Handing off the baton
to someone with no experience,
56
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:23,535
seated right next to someone
57
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:26,080
they've been negotiating with
for some time.
58
00:03:26,581 --> 00:03:27,873
If you don't think you can sell it...
59
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:31,335
Selling it requires a little chat
to platform Todd.
60
00:03:31,336 --> 00:03:32,837
Well, he can platform himself.
61
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:35,672
You and I will prep him, or I will,
62
00:03:35,673 --> 00:03:37,049
while you practice saying...
63
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,301
- Nothing?
- Well done.
64
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:42,638
Hal, I swear I'm not gonna fuck
with the message.
65
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,558
You swear?
Oh my God, I'm awash with relief.
66
00:03:59,656 --> 00:04:01,074
Did I do this?
67
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:04,869
- What?
- Lie like you did to me?
68
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:06,787
I'm gonna take a shower.
69
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:09,331
- I mean it.
- And that makes it even worse.
70
00:04:09,332 --> 00:04:11,416
No, look, I'm asking.
71
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:13,253
All the fucking time.
72
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:15,921
And that's why you did it?
73
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:17,632
Learned from the master.
74
00:04:19,717 --> 00:04:20,842
[Hal] That's why?
75
00:04:20,843 --> 00:04:22,512
I don't know what you want from me.
76
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,391
Did you deceive me?
77
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,684
Did you...
78
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:34,107
stage a fake reckoning about our marriage
because you thought it was a me move?
79
00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:37,901
- It's not a narcissistic question.
- You sure?
80
00:04:37,902 --> 00:04:39,569
I'm asking if you did it
81
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:42,824
because you thought my history of behavior
82
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:44,951
gave you permission.
83
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:48,871
[sighs]
84
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:51,249
Hal.
85
00:04:51,833 --> 00:04:54,167
- I am so sorry.
- Not the point.
86
00:04:54,168 --> 00:04:56,963
What I said about us was not a lie.
87
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:00,674
The timing was strategic. The content...
88
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:02,134
- Doesn't matter at all.
- It does.
89
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:04,303
It's why I forgave you when you did it.
90
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:07,472
Which, yeah, was all the time.
And I forgave you.
91
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:08,599
You shouldn't have.
92
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:11,936
You should've left me.
93
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:19,443
Did she say what it was about?
94
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:20,528
No.
95
00:05:27,869 --> 00:05:28,911
Make yourself at home.
96
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:31,914
This will have to be fast.
I have a long list.
97
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:36,127
[Stuart sighs]
98
00:05:40,089 --> 00:05:44,301
You and I are going through...
whatever it is that we're going through.
99
00:05:44,302 --> 00:05:45,594
It's not about you.
100
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:48,680
- Super.
- It's about a lot of things.
101
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:50,433
Yes, and...
102
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:53,393
it appears to carry
a certain amount of weight
103
00:05:53,394 --> 00:05:55,563
that's leaking, like...
104
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:58,483
liquid lead
105
00:05:58,983 --> 00:06:00,025
out of your pores.
106
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,527
- I'm gonna jump in.
- Do.
107
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,947
What were you doing last night?
108
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:07,699
Nothing.
109
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:08,826
You were up,
110
00:06:09,702 --> 00:06:12,330
jabbing at your keyboard
like it had hurt your mother.
111
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,748
Am I the only one here who has work?
112
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:16,959
There is some concern...
113
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:22,589
that you might be planning
something destructive
114
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:24,508
to yourself or others.
115
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:25,592
Or America.
116
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:28,096
- Like what?
- I don't know.
117
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:30,556
But we're both concerned.
118
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,183
Oh. Both of you.
119
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:34,518
It was hostile typing.
120
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:35,603
You're right.
121
00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:38,606
I was on the dark web,
122
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:40,607
learning to make a pipe bomb.
123
00:06:40,608 --> 00:06:43,527
- Okay.
- I ordered a suicide vest from Amazon.
124
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:44,611
Don't be cute.
125
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:47,782
You wanna look me in the eye
and tell me you're not up to something?
126
00:06:50,993 --> 00:06:51,993
See.
127
00:06:51,994 --> 00:06:53,788
I'm writing a cable.
128
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:58,209
In the State Department dissent channel.
129
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:04,589
This is exactly why it exists.
130
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:10,095
So you can formally, respectfully register
your disagreement in writing.
131
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:11,222
Okay.
132
00:07:12,181 --> 00:07:13,182
Carry on.
133
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:15,809
It's a powerful tool.
134
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:17,145
I feel that.
135
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:20,772
- [stifled chuckles]
- It's not funny.
136
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:22,525
It's funnier than a pipe bomb.
137
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,318
[laughs]
138
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:30,741
Goddamnit.
139
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:35,036
[Todd] Want some coffee?
140
00:07:35,037 --> 00:07:36,956
No, thanks. Just had some.
141
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:39,040
There's food.
142
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:42,336
- We had at our place.
- [Hal exhales]
143
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:45,214
[quietly] Was that too much?
144
00:07:48,342 --> 00:07:49,594
[Todd groans]
145
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,387
Is this my pep talk?
146
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:56,308
No, I just thought you might wanna
go through the bullet points.
147
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:57,392
I'm good.
148
00:07:57,393 --> 00:08:00,312
It's the British foreign secretary
in a room.
149
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,981
It's not the UN General Assembly.
150
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:04,858
You wanna run through your header?
151
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:09,572
Sometimes helps to say it out loud
just once beforehand.
152
00:08:10,573 --> 00:08:12,699
The president is concerned
153
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,368
about the decision
on the part of Prime Minister Vaughn
154
00:08:15,369 --> 00:08:18,955
to allow Russian Federation
salvage vessels,
155
00:08:18,956 --> 00:08:22,417
which are more likely to be
surveillance and tactical vessels
156
00:08:22,418 --> 00:08:24,794
to enter British territorial waters.
157
00:08:24,795 --> 00:08:29,216
She feels it may put you,
her closest ally, in danger,
158
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:32,552
and so she has sent
three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers
159
00:08:32,553 --> 00:08:34,180
to impede their passage.
160
00:08:36,432 --> 00:08:37,642
"May send."
161
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,519
No.
162
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:42,730
- "Has sent"?
- Yes.
163
00:08:47,818 --> 00:08:48,819
When?
164
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:50,488
Few hours ago.
165
00:08:53,491 --> 00:08:55,575
Okay. Where is the president?
166
00:08:55,576 --> 00:08:56,660
Upstairs.
167
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:59,830
On the phone with the joint chiefs.
God knows why.
168
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:05,878
How about we say the bedroom is
the one place I'm allowed and you're not?
169
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:10,925
She doesn't wanna hear it's a bad idea.
170
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,218
That's why it already happened.
171
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:14,511
I was surprised.
172
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:15,929
You're surprised.
173
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:19,307
Think we can safely say
the Brits will be surprised.
174
00:09:19,308 --> 00:09:22,352
She's not interested
in debating the merits.
175
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:23,687
- It happened.
- Okay.
176
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:26,648
Let's go over
how you will deliver the message.
177
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:27,817
We just did.
178
00:09:28,442 --> 00:09:32,195
There are terms you can use
that will make it sound less...
179
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:34,197
- Less like it is?
- Yes.
180
00:09:34,198 --> 00:09:37,117
I have talking points
directly from the lady upstairs,
181
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:38,910
and I plan to deliver them.
182
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:43,498
You, against my advice and all reason,
183
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:44,583
refused to do that.
184
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,253
And so we're here.
185
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:51,131
Instead of a career diplomat
issuing a threat,
186
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:54,676
we have a wet-behind-the-ears,
extremely special envoy
187
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:56,261
announcing a deployment.
188
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:58,471
- Sir...
- I'm sir now. Did you catch that?
189
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:01,975
- Todd...
- I don't know a ton about diplomacy,
190
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:04,812
as we are all searingly aware, but...
191
00:10:05,855 --> 00:10:08,691
I do know, like I told you,
192
00:10:09,191 --> 00:10:11,277
if she tells you to say something,
193
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:13,404
you just say it.
194
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:15,323
[Grace] Good morning.
195
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:17,324
Ma'am. Good morning.
196
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:19,451
They don't salt bread here.
Did you notice?
197
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,536
Something was off.
Couldn't put my finger on it.
198
00:10:21,537 --> 00:10:22,912
- Bland, right?
- [Hal] Yeah.
199
00:10:22,913 --> 00:10:25,332
I don't know
if it's Northern Italy or all of Italy.
200
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:28,126
We're in the right place to find out.
Ma'am, did you ask the Navy--
201
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:30,128
Join me. I've got a sit-down with Dumas.
202
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,630
He's gonna ask
for a blank check in the Sahel,
203
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,633
and I can't decide if I give a shit.
204
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,763
[exhales] Aw.
205
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:40,890
Shall we?
206
00:10:41,390 --> 00:10:43,016
[purposeful music playing]
207
00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:44,935
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
208
00:11:06,957 --> 00:11:09,668
Madam President, Mr. Penn, welcome.
209
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,295
Massimo, what a treat.
210
00:11:11,796 --> 00:11:13,673
[Hal] President Dumas, good to see you.
211
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:15,173
[Grace] Shall we?
212
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:17,300
- Let's go.
- We'll see you at lunch?
213
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:19,010
[Todd] Yes, we are going elsewhere.
214
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:21,096
[indistinct chatter]
215
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:23,182
[music intensifies]
216
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:37,279
- [indistinct chatter]
- [music steadies, fades]
217
00:11:37,905 --> 00:11:38,906
Good morning.
218
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:42,409
- Hello, there.
- Hello, hello.
219
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:44,744
This is Robyn Palmer,
the foreign secretary.
220
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:46,079
This is Todd Penn,
221
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,207
the United States special envoy
to the Court of St. James's.
222
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,583
So pleased to have you.
223
00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:52,002
Two for the price of one.
224
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,171
You're in the thick of it.
225
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:55,840
Double your flavor.
226
00:11:56,507 --> 00:11:58,634
- Sorry?
- Doublemint?
227
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:00,261
No?
228
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:03,346
It's a chewing gum. It had a jingle.
229
00:12:03,347 --> 00:12:06,392
- Ah.
- Was that not a thing here?
230
00:12:07,768 --> 00:12:09,061
Here or in the UK?
231
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:12,147
I think I have us on a tangent.
232
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:14,441
Uh, we're happy to be speaking with you.
233
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:15,734
You're a welcome addition.
234
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,111
So...
235
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:19,988
[Ganon] Surface combatants.
236
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:21,072
[Billie] Yes.
237
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,949
- [Ganon] Bound for the North Sea.
- [Billie] Yes.
238
00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:24,033
How is that possible?
239
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:26,786
- You don't wanna go down that road.
- Miguel. Ciao!
240
00:12:26,787 --> 00:12:28,455
Massimo! Great to see you.
241
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:30,707
Good to see you.
You were a lifesaver yesterday.
242
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,041
Happy to do it.
243
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:34,669
- I'm looking forward to your remarks.
- Excellent.
244
00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:39,090
How is it possible that she sidestepped
the entirety of the deliberative process?
245
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,800
Nobody likes a flowchart, Miguel.
246
00:12:40,801 --> 00:12:44,304
- What am I supposed to say to the Brits?
- You don't have to say anything.
247
00:12:44,305 --> 00:12:47,349
Todd's in with the foreign secretary
as we speak.
248
00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:58,778
Val is having her uterus removed today.
249
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,530
- I'm so sorry.
- And because I'm not there,
250
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:05,074
my brother's taking her,
which seems sweet,
251
00:13:05,075 --> 00:13:06,534
but it just makes Val furious
252
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:09,329
because it's another reminder
that my family is warm
253
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:11,791
and hers is emotionally crippled.
254
00:13:12,374 --> 00:13:13,417
- That's...
- Instead...
255
00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:15,377
I'm here.
256
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:24,345
You'd need permission
257
00:13:24,845 --> 00:13:27,223
to enter our territory with destroyers.
258
00:13:27,723 --> 00:13:29,474
Do you plan on withholding it?
259
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:31,643
Well, I suppose
that turns on your intention.
260
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,687
There's a national security threat
to our country,
261
00:13:34,688 --> 00:13:37,358
and more importantly right now, yours.
262
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:41,027
The president has
an obligation to protect both.
263
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:45,156
That is the full extent of her intention.
264
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:49,035
So you've sent three destroyers
to do what exactly?
265
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:51,246
Block Russia's passage
266
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:53,499
beyond the 59th parallel.
267
00:13:55,876 --> 00:13:57,877
The Russians have submarines.
268
00:13:57,878 --> 00:14:00,296
They're coming to retrieve
their dead from a submarine.
269
00:14:00,297 --> 00:14:02,131
They'll likely use a submarine.
270
00:14:02,132 --> 00:14:03,883
They'll slip right past your ships.
271
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:06,011
Our aim is to stop them.
272
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,555
I... I feel confident we'll find a way.
273
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:09,682
How?
274
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:12,892
How, uh, will we...?
275
00:14:12,893 --> 00:14:14,227
Stop the submarine.
276
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:16,814
Well, first thing we'll do is ask nicely.
277
00:14:17,314 --> 00:14:20,066
- But after that...
- The simplest way would be to shoot at it.
278
00:14:20,067 --> 00:14:21,860
It is, uh,
279
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,237
but I think
we're getting ahead of ourselves.
280
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:26,906
The Arleigh Burkes are armed
with tomahawks,
281
00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:29,117
cruise missiles, torpedoes.
282
00:14:29,118 --> 00:14:32,370
If your destroyers are instructed
to stop a Russian advance,
283
00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:33,663
they would likely conclude
284
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:37,750
the shortest distance between two points
is an anti-sub missile.
285
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:40,587
We're wandering into the theoretical.
286
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:43,423
My concern is we're wandering
into British sovereign territory
287
00:14:43,424 --> 00:14:44,924
with a plan for kinetic action.
288
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:47,176
- Absolutely not.
- So I have your assurance
289
00:14:47,177 --> 00:14:49,929
that you will not engage militarily
with Russian vessels.
290
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:52,348
- [Kate clears throat]
- We will stop them peacefully.
291
00:14:52,349 --> 00:14:53,392
If at all possible.
292
00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:59,981
"If... at all... possible."
293
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:02,442
What happens
if British citizens find themselves
294
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:04,193
between your vessels and the Russians?
295
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:07,156
Are we talking about a fishing boat
or a frigate?
296
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:10,533
Perhaps we start with the oystermen
and take it from there.
297
00:15:10,534 --> 00:15:13,786
If your people should find themselves
between us and the Russian Navy,
298
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:16,623
they should make every effort
to go somewhere else, quickly.
299
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:18,958
- Stop talking.
- I don't want them to get shot.
300
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,253
- I'm having unusually sharp womanly pains.
- Oh.
301
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:25,007
- Maybe we should take a break.
- I think we may be done here.
302
00:15:26,175 --> 00:15:28,677
I'll share the president's message
with the prime minister.
303
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:33,390
[footsteps retreating]
304
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,060
What did I do?
305
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:41,940
You suggested one NATO nation might fire
on another NATO nation,
306
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,984
which would, you know...
307
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:45,778
I don't.
308
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:48,405
End NATO.
309
00:15:52,326 --> 00:15:53,451
Where's the president?
310
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:54,786
- She's in session.
- [Todd] Pull her.
311
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:56,788
She's in a bilat with the Japanese PM.
312
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,040
- Nora.
- She can't. We'll get her on break.
313
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:01,334
And you have
the Sustainable Growth Working Group.
314
00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:02,836
I ended NATO.
315
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:04,379
- Pardon?
- [Neil] Ambassador?
316
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:05,964
He didn't end NATO.
317
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,465
I wanna see my spouse.
318
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:09,550
This is Rolf from the German delegation.
319
00:16:09,551 --> 00:16:10,885
Hi, there.
320
00:16:10,886 --> 00:16:13,347
Rolf is hoping to introduce you
to the chancellor's wife.
321
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:15,975
[Kate inhales deeply]
322
00:16:16,558 --> 00:16:19,353
Rolf. I would love that.
323
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:21,855
[curious music playing]
324
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:27,736
Sprechen Sie Englisch?
325
00:16:30,406 --> 00:16:31,407
I do.
326
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:34,033
Quite well, I like to think.
327
00:16:34,034 --> 00:16:36,495
But there's always room for improvement.
328
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:40,791
Are you from the German delegation?
329
00:16:42,876 --> 00:16:43,877
No.
330
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:52,594
[music ends]
331
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:14,615
Thank you, Rickie.
332
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:17,076
- Prime Minister.
- [door closes]
333
00:17:17,077 --> 00:17:19,455
[Vaughn] What in the great rattling fuck
is going on?
334
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:20,955
Let me explain.
335
00:17:20,956 --> 00:17:23,124
Robyn Palmer says
you refused to speak to her.
336
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:27,920
I was just making space
for the special envoy.
337
00:17:27,921 --> 00:17:29,422
You made a big wide swath.
338
00:17:29,423 --> 00:17:30,923
- Yes.
- And he beshat it.
339
00:17:30,924 --> 00:17:34,303
- I'm sorry.
- Is that woman invading my coastline?
340
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:38,056
I am not at liberty to discuss
the president's plans.
341
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:39,640
Or anything, really.
342
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:41,601
Does she hate your pert little face?
343
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:44,103
She wanted me to tell you
to wave off the Russians.
344
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:47,024
- You did.
- Yes, but if you refused...
345
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:52,446
she wanted me to tell you she would send
destroyers to your coastline.
346
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:56,200
- And you forgot?
- I thought it might escalate things.
347
00:17:57,326 --> 00:17:59,869
Insight is what that is.
348
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:02,080
I thought there was
more room for discussion.
349
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:05,500
Maybe if you and she had
a face-to-face here.
350
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,210
Like I'd tell you to fuck off but not her?
351
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:09,337
- Yes.
- Turned out to be a crap plan, didn't it?
352
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:11,757
Which is on me, not her.
353
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:15,803
- She's right, you shouldn't be speaking.
- I am trying really hard not to.
354
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:18,680
All right, just wag your head for me.
355
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:22,684
Does Mr. Pickles understand
356
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:26,146
he said his wife's troops
would fire on my navy?
357
00:18:30,859 --> 00:18:32,653
He knows he said it,
358
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,947
but he didn't mean to say it.
359
00:18:36,323 --> 00:18:37,783
So he's a wally.
360
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:40,493
Is he wrong?
361
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:42,496
This would be easier if I just talked.
362
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:45,206
I would like five minutes.
363
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:46,415
He thinks he killed NATO.
364
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:47,875
- Did he?
- He didn't.
365
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:48,960
Not yet.
366
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:52,422
The immediate concern,
I think, is the shooting war.
367
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:56,425
I would really love a double espresso.
368
00:18:56,426 --> 00:18:58,136
It was not my intention.
369
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:00,139
- Suresh!
- Single?
370
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:03,766
The British foreign secretary is
irony-free.
371
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,893
Were you ironically invoking
a shooting war?
372
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:09,480
This might be when we pass the baton
back to the ambassador.
373
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:11,858
- I spoke to the PM.
- Again?
374
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,526
After our meeting with Palmer.
375
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:16,487
That's how you lost the baton
in the first place.
376
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:19,615
She had me extracted
from the conference center by MI6.
377
00:19:19,616 --> 00:19:20,701
To say what?
378
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:24,453
She's putting assets in the water
to protect her territory
379
00:19:24,454 --> 00:19:27,957
and to make sure she's not reneging
on the commitment she made to Russia.
380
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:30,251
- Meaning what?
- She will provide an escort.
381
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:31,294
For the Russians.
382
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:33,129
She promised them safe passage.
383
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,756
Gosh, I seem to remember she promised us
something too. What was it?
384
00:19:35,757 --> 00:19:38,217
- Ma'am.
- Ah, a mutual defense pact.
385
00:19:38,218 --> 00:19:40,052
- Well...
- I broke it.
386
00:19:40,053 --> 00:19:43,639
Since the notion was raised
of us shooting at Russian vessels,
387
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,767
the PM would like your assurance
that will not be the case
388
00:19:46,768 --> 00:19:48,853
if her navy is escorting them.
389
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:51,981
Without that,
she sees NATO Article 4 implications,
390
00:19:51,982 --> 00:19:53,649
Article 5 implications.
391
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:54,734
[under breath] Fuck me.
392
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:56,402
She said when Russia behaved like this,
393
00:19:56,403 --> 00:19:59,281
they were removed,
and the G8 became the G7.
394
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:04,203
If we keep it up, she'll propose
they expel us and make it the G6.
395
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:07,622
Todd.
396
00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:09,332
- It's not his fault.
- Really?
397
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:12,794
Was he off base, or did he just say
the quiet part out loud?
398
00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:17,007
Depends if we plan on shooting
at the British Navy.
399
00:20:22,262 --> 00:20:23,263
Do we?
400
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:25,473
Thank you, Ambassador.
401
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:26,974
I think I should give her an answer.
402
00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:28,351
I think you shouldn't.
403
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:32,439
- Ma'am, Mr. Penn is learning fast, but--
- No, not him either.
404
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:35,274
What do you want me to say?
405
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:38,277
Tell her it's us or the Russians.
Pick a side.
406
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:40,488
Is he roasting those coffee beans
with a match?
407
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:41,614
- Suresh!
- [Suresh] I'm here.
408
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,243
Sorry, they won't let me touch
the machine.
409
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:51,666
[Stuart] How many of them
do you think know?
410
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:52,708
[Kate] What?
411
00:20:52,709 --> 00:20:54,335
[Stuart] That we're going to war
with the UK.
412
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:55,753
[Kate] And Russia.
413
00:20:55,754 --> 00:20:56,964
[Stuart] And Russia.
414
00:20:57,464 --> 00:20:58,715
[Kate] We're not.
415
00:21:00,384 --> 00:21:01,634
You sounded worried.
416
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:02,718
I am.
417
00:21:02,719 --> 00:21:03,804
But we're not.
418
00:21:04,346 --> 00:21:05,347
We might.
419
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:08,225
[indistinct passing chatter]
420
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,898
PM's not gonna be free
for another two hours.
421
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,942
You'll get some time with Hal.
422
00:21:18,694 --> 00:21:20,237
He's kind of over me.
423
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:22,363
And the sound of my voice.
424
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:24,116
I'm sure that's not true.
425
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:26,993
He asked me not to speak.
426
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:28,078
At all.
427
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:30,162
Indefinitely?
428
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:31,539
At least for the day.
429
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,082
And I already failed.
430
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,292
You two do this.
431
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,003
It'll pass.
432
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:39,339
I don't know.
433
00:21:40,757 --> 00:21:42,676
He likes being vice president.
434
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,095
He has something to lose.
435
00:21:46,596 --> 00:21:49,308
We used to go
through stuff like this, but...
436
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:53,895
he's never had anything he liked
as much as me.
437
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,609
What if I sit in?
438
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,404
- With me and Hal?
- Yeah.
439
00:22:03,655 --> 00:22:06,240
That's like the UK
looking at us and Russia,
440
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:08,075
steaming destroyers at each other
441
00:22:08,076 --> 00:22:09,869
and concluding
they should stand in the middle.
442
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:12,456
But he can't ignore you if I'm there.
443
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:15,167
He'll at least pretend to listen.
444
00:22:17,794 --> 00:22:18,795
Maybe.
445
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:22,007
Do you have something to say?
446
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:27,303
Okay,
447
00:22:27,304 --> 00:22:28,637
elephant in the room.
448
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:30,431
You two are having a marital moment,
449
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:33,851
and it's become an impediment
to productive communication about policy.
450
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,354
It really hasn't.
451
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:38,356
The ambassador is no longer
in the conversation
452
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:40,358
because it's vaulted above her pay grade.
453
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,694
- As part of leadership at Embassy London--
- It's way above yours.
454
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:44,904
It's not.
455
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:46,322
The special envoy panicked,
456
00:22:46,323 --> 00:22:47,823
the ambassador's wearing a muzzle,
457
00:22:47,824 --> 00:22:51,243
and you are stepping in blind
for a head-to-head with the British PM.
458
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:54,038
I would like to believe,
given your decades in foreign service,
459
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:57,834
you'd think if the DCM had an idea,
I wanna hear it.
460
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:02,089
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
461
00:23:03,256 --> 00:23:04,382
It's the ambassador's idea.
462
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:05,883
- I'm gonna say it--
- [under breath] Jesus.
463
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:07,468
You have an issue
with the sound of my voice.
464
00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:08,844
I swear to God.
465
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,972
Tell Russia the Poseidon's not there.
466
00:23:14,518 --> 00:23:16,185
How does Stuart know it's not there?
467
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:17,478
Conversation for another time.
468
00:23:17,479 --> 00:23:18,896
- Not really.
- Yeah, really.
469
00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:20,148
Sh.
470
00:23:21,983 --> 00:23:24,945
- If the Russians knew...
- I'll tell you what if.
471
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:27,738
Because the SecDef and NSC
472
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:31,492
and DNI and Langley
and the Russia desk have all weighed in
473
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:33,370
on what would happen if Russia knew.
474
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:35,413
They would launch a cyberattack
475
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,873
that would black out
the continental United States.
476
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:39,583
- At least we've got Maui.
- Ma'am?
477
00:23:39,584 --> 00:23:41,001
They won't.
478
00:23:41,002 --> 00:23:45,714
Because then we'll tell the world
they had an epic technological fail again.
479
00:23:45,715 --> 00:23:48,342
That while they're getting pantsed
by Ukrainian teenagers
480
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:49,927
and homemade drones,
481
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,011
we picked their pocket,
482
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:54,723
'cause the gang that can't shoot straight
launched the sub that can't swim straight.
483
00:23:54,724 --> 00:23:56,100
And take a breath.
484
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,184
Good.
485
00:23:57,185 --> 00:24:00,354
He can absorb the argument,
which, when stripped of its vocal energy,
486
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:02,149
has a great deal of merit.
487
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:04,316
It's a lot though, right?
488
00:24:04,317 --> 00:24:05,819
- It's not nothing.
- Wow.
489
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,071
Letting the argument sink in.
490
00:24:08,572 --> 00:24:09,573
One minute.
491
00:24:11,324 --> 00:24:12,324
I don't need a minute.
492
00:24:12,325 --> 00:24:13,952
Letting it sink in.
493
00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:22,919
[door opens]
494
00:24:24,838 --> 00:24:26,882
You are unrecognizable.
495
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,176
You are not the man
who walked the seventh floor
496
00:24:30,177 --> 00:24:31,719
and put his feet on every desk
497
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,056
and talked ears off heads
until people rethought,
498
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:40,770
who said loyalty, by definition,
was an abdication of judgment.
499
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:44,983
I have a seat at the table.
500
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,319
This,
501
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:49,446
behaving like a mosquito,
502
00:24:50,530 --> 00:24:51,990
is what you do when you don't.
503
00:24:56,703 --> 00:24:58,705
[somber music playing]
504
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:03,667
[music fades out]
505
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:05,503
[Stuart] I'm gonna say something,
506
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:09,465
and I need a commitment from you
that you won't laugh... at me.
507
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:12,302
- [Kate] Well, now it's gonna be hard.
- Forget it.
508
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:16,640
Solemn commitment.
509
00:25:17,682 --> 00:25:18,975
The dissent channel.
510
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:22,061
Is that the laugh line?
511
00:25:22,062 --> 00:25:24,230
It was for Eidra and Billie.
512
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:25,314
Fuck them.
513
00:25:25,315 --> 00:25:27,359
Exactly. Thank you.
514
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:31,987
Over the last couple of days,
I drafted a dissent channel cable
515
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:36,993
to express my objection to placing
US naval assets on the British coast.
516
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:39,287
That was before it happened.
517
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:41,498
I figure it's still worth the ink.
518
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:44,960
I can add your Russia idea to the cable.
519
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:47,963
Stuart.
520
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:49,922
That's really sweet.
521
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,424
Oh my God.
You're no better than Billie and Eidra.
522
00:25:52,425 --> 00:25:53,593
No, it's...
523
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:55,678
a great idea.
524
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:58,765
We have a system
designed to amplify dissent.
525
00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:00,642
It's very special.
526
00:26:01,142 --> 00:26:02,434
Okay. Forget it.
527
00:26:02,435 --> 00:26:03,979
Send a cable.
528
00:26:04,479 --> 00:26:06,939
It's an important piece
of the historical record.
529
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,190
Oh come on.
530
00:26:08,191 --> 00:26:10,985
If that woman launches us into war
531
00:26:10,986 --> 00:26:12,194
with Russia
532
00:26:12,195 --> 00:26:13,612
and the UK
533
00:26:13,613 --> 00:26:15,115
and all of NATO,
534
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:16,824
the record will matter.
535
00:26:16,825 --> 00:26:18,076
It's about now.
536
00:26:19,077 --> 00:26:20,954
You're right. You should do it.
537
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:24,248
[photographer speaking Italian]
538
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:28,043
[in English] Please, ladies and gentlemen,
if you all line up for the family shot.
539
00:26:28,044 --> 00:26:30,379
[continues instructing in Italian]
540
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:33,757
[in English] There is a sticker with
your name with the country you represent.
541
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:35,217
Just look on the floor.
542
00:26:35,218 --> 00:26:36,385
Yeah, Japan is here.
543
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:38,721
I'm sorry, Madam... Madam President. Uh...
544
00:26:38,722 --> 00:26:41,807
President Penn and Prime Minister Bassani,
you're in the wrong place.
545
00:26:41,808 --> 00:26:43,727
[continues in Italian]
546
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:47,187
[in English] Yeah, you took his spot.
Does it say Italy on it?
547
00:26:47,188 --> 00:26:48,105
It does, yeah.
548
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:49,398
Chancellor.
549
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,525
Just one step back.
550
00:26:51,234 --> 00:26:52,901
No, backwards. Back.
551
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:54,236
Thank you. Perfect.
552
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,156
Don't move, please. Okay.
553
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:59,158
[camera shutter clicking]
554
00:26:59,159 --> 00:27:01,243
Thank you very much.
Grazie mille. Grazie a tutti.
555
00:27:01,244 --> 00:27:03,496
[indistinct chatter]
556
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:12,005
- Prime Minister Vaughn.
- Oh, Mr. Vice President.
557
00:27:12,505 --> 00:27:14,256
[Hal] How's the first week in office?
558
00:27:14,257 --> 00:27:17,551
Well, I arrived in Number 10,
pulled on the levers of power
559
00:27:17,552 --> 00:27:19,553
and discovered
they're not connected to anything.
560
00:27:19,554 --> 00:27:21,639
I have the same problem in Washington.
561
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,141
I met your lovely wife.
562
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:26,518
And the president's lovely husband.
563
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:27,646
Both wonderful.
564
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:32,149
I'd like to apologize
for the changing of the guard.
565
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:35,861
The special envoy's been
a tremendous value added, but...
566
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:38,072
I think there's a learning curve.
567
00:27:38,073 --> 00:27:40,741
- Sure.
- I think he's on the steep face of it.
568
00:27:40,742 --> 00:27:45,997
So it's possible the message he conveyed
to the foreign secretary was, uh...
569
00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:48,667
- A head-scratcher.
- Yes.
570
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:50,877
So...
571
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:53,253
as my spouse said,
572
00:27:53,254 --> 00:27:55,339
and as the president's spouse said,
573
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:57,008
and now I will say,
574
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:01,053
the president would like you to retract
the permission you granted Russia
575
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:02,931
for passage through your territory.
576
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:07,185
In anticipation of any ire
that may raise at the Kremlin,
577
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:12,314
we have deployed multi-mission ships
to fortify our position and yours
578
00:28:12,315 --> 00:28:13,565
and NATO's.
579
00:28:13,566 --> 00:28:16,151
And if we need to engage kinetically
580
00:28:16,152 --> 00:28:18,947
with the Russian Navy
to halt their advance, we will.
581
00:28:19,447 --> 00:28:20,989
And we will fire on any vessel
582
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,616
flagged by any nation
583
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:24,994
that interferes
with that strategic objective.
584
00:28:27,914 --> 00:28:29,290
Shall we?
585
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,464
[door closes]
586
00:28:37,465 --> 00:28:39,675
- [Ganon] Where's Todd?
- He went back to the villa.
587
00:28:39,676 --> 00:28:41,720
- Why?
- Rough morning.
588
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:45,305
Did the Brits tell you
they want to call an emergency session
589
00:28:45,306 --> 00:28:46,557
of the NATO Council?
590
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,934
I am not supposed to talk to the Brits.
591
00:28:48,935 --> 00:28:52,646
Who is managing our relationship
with the goddamn United Kingdom?
592
00:28:52,647 --> 00:28:55,023
- The vice president.
- I give up.
593
00:28:55,024 --> 00:28:56,608
Emergency session?
594
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:58,485
After her conversation with Mr. Wyler,
595
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:02,156
Vaughn told the Italians
that she'd like to invoke Article 4.
596
00:29:02,157 --> 00:29:04,074
- She's trying to rattle us.
- It worked.
597
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:05,868
The host committee is freaking out.
598
00:29:05,869 --> 00:29:07,911
They're worried
the conference is gonna fall apart.
599
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:10,205
Japan is G7, not NATO.
600
00:29:10,206 --> 00:29:13,125
If they think this is turning
into a NATO crisis, they will leave.
601
00:29:13,126 --> 00:29:14,793
- Okay.
- Japan walks out,
602
00:29:14,794 --> 00:29:16,837
we cannot have the Taiwan conversation.
603
00:29:16,838 --> 00:29:19,339
Miguel, we're about to start shooting
at the Brits.
604
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:21,134
I need you to widen the aperture.
605
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:27,932
I'm supposed to be in a beaded sheath
right now, so let's keep it snappy.
606
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:30,059
Russian ships, our ships.
607
00:29:30,643 --> 00:29:32,436
Now the UK is sending ships.
608
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:36,273
The likelihood that some 18-year-old
accidentally fires a first shot
609
00:29:36,274 --> 00:29:38,066
has gone up exponentially.
610
00:29:38,067 --> 00:29:39,276
So talk to Vaughn.
611
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:42,780
She's launching the armada
and waving around Article 4.
612
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:46,451
And of course she is. She wants to tell
everybody she's Joan of Arc and I'm...
613
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:49,244
whoever Joan of Arc was worked up about.
614
00:29:49,245 --> 00:29:50,538
She has a case.
615
00:29:51,539 --> 00:29:53,166
We threatened to fire on her navy.
616
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:55,834
And we're asking Europe to pick a side.
617
00:29:55,835 --> 00:29:58,504
[Billie] Do you really want to preside
over the death of NATO?
618
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:03,133
NATO exists to make sure we are all nicer
to each other than we are to Russia.
619
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:05,511
If the member states can't manage that...
620
00:30:05,512 --> 00:30:07,263
That's not what she's doing.
621
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:10,058
It's not?
622
00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:12,101
I think you know that.
623
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:15,772
She waved a red flag.
624
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:19,400
You are choosing
to put your head down and run at it.
625
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,986
So I'm a bull?
626
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:24,405
Or just a bully?
627
00:30:25,198 --> 00:30:26,031
[Ganon] Ma'am...
628
00:30:26,032 --> 00:30:29,952
A hostile power with no compunction
about violating territorial autonomy
629
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:32,037
is barrel-assing down her coastline.
630
00:30:32,038 --> 00:30:33,373
Forget Vaughn.
631
00:30:34,499 --> 00:30:36,375
We have reservations.
632
00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:39,002
As does the NSC and the Pentagon,
633
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:40,295
obviously the UK team.
634
00:30:40,296 --> 00:30:42,047
Don't even start with her.
635
00:30:42,048 --> 00:30:44,842
Not just the ambassador,
it's bubbling up through the ranks.
636
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:47,427
Legitimate questions
from the dissent channel.
637
00:30:47,428 --> 00:30:50,264
- Like what?
- Is it gratuitously dangerous?
638
00:30:50,265 --> 00:30:53,350
Are we risking
long-term fissures with allies?
639
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:57,647
Will it launch a military clash between
the world's two largest nuclear powers?
640
00:30:58,356 --> 00:30:59,356
Who's dissenting?
641
00:30:59,357 --> 00:31:01,358
- Doesn't matter. The point is--
- It absolutely does.
642
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:04,487
People with a great deal of knowledge
about the UK.
643
00:31:05,363 --> 00:31:06,364
Who?
644
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:11,411
[Hal] Taking a shower?
645
00:31:12,495 --> 00:31:13,872
[Kate] Is that a request?
646
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:18,167
- What?
- I said, is that a request? That I bathe?
647
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:21,169
I plan to shower. I...
648
00:31:21,170 --> 00:31:22,963
wanted to provide you
with a chance to go first.
649
00:31:22,964 --> 00:31:25,466
It's not a think piece on your hygiene.
650
00:31:26,134 --> 00:31:27,635
- I'm okay.
- Great.
651
00:31:36,936 --> 00:31:38,646
I don't know what I want.
652
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:42,901
I don't think it's this anymore.
653
00:31:53,536 --> 00:31:54,912
I don't need to go.
654
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:58,124
I can do without 90 minutes of Verdi.
655
00:32:00,001 --> 00:32:02,086
- Babe.
- It's Puccini.
656
00:32:02,837 --> 00:32:05,839
- It's not.
- Then it's Vivaldi and you're going.
657
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,050
I broke the Western world.
658
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:09,843
Maybe I should lay low for a while.
659
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:11,720
You did what I asked you to do.
660
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:15,600
An approach so novel
my entire staff found it disorienting.
661
00:32:16,392 --> 00:32:18,685
This is what it looks like.
You make a tough call.
662
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:22,398
And then a flock of harpies comes to say
you've launched the end times.

You're not.
665
00:32:29,906 --> 00:32:32,033
Am I? I'm asking.
666
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:34,910
- No.
- No.
667
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:37,163
World War III is hurtling at us.
668
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:39,623
And I don't have Churchill by my side.
669
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:41,208
I've got a woman who wants us to...

lie down, hold still
and hope it doesn't hurt.
671
00:32:44,253 --> 00:32:46,546
- Not helpful.
- It really isn't.
672
00:32:46,547 --> 00:32:48,632

they feel good about when it fails.

looks worse and might actually work.

Sadly, I need to stay here
and bear witness to my erasure.
704
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:16,447
Hey.
705
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:19,408
That bitch recalled Stuart.
706
00:35:19,909 --> 00:35:22,828
I'm not sure China has
the amphibious capability they'd need
707
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:24,538
to effectively invade Taiwan.
708
00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:26,832
- Do they really need it?
- If we're there, yeah.
709
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:28,334
Um, can I borrow you?
710
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:30,919
- Forgive me.
- You dodged the question.
711
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,338
You bet I did.
712
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:38,469
The president is recalling my DCM.
713
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:42,557
- What?
- For writing a dissent channel cable.
714
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:47,435
The most anodyne, gracious,
fucking sanctioned piece of communication.
715
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:48,895
Jesus Christ.
716
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:51,566
- Hey.
- She's pulling Stuart out of post.
717
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,652
- No, she's not.
- They want him on a plane.
718
00:35:55,945 --> 00:35:57,696
I can't deal with this right now.
719
00:35:57,697 --> 00:35:58,780
Montana's burning.
720
00:35:58,781 --> 00:36:00,365
Can you let the Canadian PM know
721
00:36:00,366 --> 00:36:02,576
we're concerned
it's gonna jump the border?
722
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:04,661
Yeah, I'm here. Over 30,000 acres...
723
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:06,371
- I'll be back.
- Hal.
724
00:36:06,372 --> 00:36:07,331
Hey.
725
00:36:08,207 --> 00:36:11,459
About to get going, so if you need
to make a pit stop or an Irish exit,
726
00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:13,004
now's your chance.
727
00:36:14,714 --> 00:36:15,839
You okay?
728
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,633
- Uh, where's Ganon?
- On a call.
729
00:36:18,634 --> 00:36:20,094
Oil spill in the Gulf.
730
00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:22,180
We're leaking all over Haiti.
731
00:36:24,056 --> 00:36:25,098
[Grace] Without our software,
732
00:36:25,099 --> 00:36:27,309
his frigates would just be
lumps of steel floating--
733
00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:29,352
He's just trying to get your attention.
734
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:33,106
- [Todd] I don't think he wants that kind.
- President Dumas, Mr. Penn. I'm so sorry.
735
00:36:33,107 --> 00:36:36,568
Ma'am, I have a timely message
from the secretary of state.
736
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:38,154
Excuse us, gentlemen.
737
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:43,992
There's been a mistake.
738
00:36:43,993 --> 00:36:48,039
The ops center at State seems to think
my DCM's being recalled?
739
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:51,291
Is that your urgent message
from the secretary?
740
00:36:51,292 --> 00:36:52,877
Does the secretary know about it?
741
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:54,753
Ambassador.
742
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:57,882
You've replaced me with your husband.
You can go ahead and call me Kate.
743
00:37:02,136 --> 00:37:04,513
Your deputy undermined my policy
744
00:37:05,431 --> 00:37:06,890
in the middle of a multilateral
745
00:37:06,891 --> 00:37:10,185
that will either defuse
or detonate the whole region.
746
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:12,021
That's protocol now?
747
00:37:12,521 --> 00:37:14,523
Anybody disagrees with you,
and they're out?
748
00:37:15,858 --> 00:37:19,237
Is it a head on a pike or a purge?
749
00:37:20,488 --> 00:37:22,030
[audience applauding]
750
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:24,533
Hey. They can't start until you sit.
751
00:37:27,703 --> 00:37:28,704
Watch yourself.
752
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,001
[announcer speaking Italian]
753
00:37:39,382 --> 00:37:41,549
Buonasera, buonasera. Good evening.
754
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:43,761
It is my great pleasure
755
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:47,389
to welcome Maestro Carlo Marchelli...
756
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:49,475
[continues in Italian]
757
00:37:58,901 --> 00:38:00,027
[audience falls silent]
758
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:04,031
[orchestral strings rise]
759
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,331
[whispering] Sorry.
760
00:38:21,674 --> 00:38:22,758
I'll be right back.
761
00:38:28,389 --> 00:38:30,557
[string music quietens]
762
00:38:30,558 --> 00:38:32,976
- Stuart.
- Sorry, sorry, ops.
763
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:35,729
- Call them back.
- No, it'll take just a second.
764
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:38,106
- Go back. I'll call you if something's up.
- Stuart.
765
00:38:38,107 --> 00:38:40,818
Hi, this is Stuart Hayford,
Embassy London, calling you back.
766
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:44,571
They got me on hold.
767
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,615
- They're getting Simon.
- Give me the phone.
768
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:51,454
Ma'am.
769
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:53,789
They're recalling you.
770
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:58,377
They're recalling you to Washington.
771
00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:02,381
Simon's gonna say
they'd like you to leave the premises.
772
00:39:03,466 --> 00:39:05,967
Ganon read your cable.
773
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:08,345
- He agreed with what you were saying.
- Because of the cable?
774
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:11,307
He agreed and he took it to the president.
775
00:39:11,932 --> 00:39:13,641
- She...
- It's the dissent channel.
776
00:39:13,642 --> 00:39:14,727
I know.
777
00:39:15,311 --> 00:39:16,311
She can't do that.
778
00:39:16,312 --> 00:39:17,438
She can't.
779
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:19,523
But she did.
780
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:27,572
- Am I ever gonna work again?
- Yes.
781
00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:29,074
You'll be reassigned.
782
00:39:29,075 --> 00:39:30,534
Where?
783
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:33,370
- Nowhere.
- That's not true.
784
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:36,040
- It's not legal.
- She isn't firing you.
785
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:39,000
It's her prerogative
to have you reassigned.
786
00:39:39,001 --> 00:39:43,172
For using an official State Department
communication channel?
787
00:39:43,672 --> 00:39:45,882
It's a violation
of the Foreign Service Act
788
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:47,133
and the First Amendment.
789
00:39:47,134 --> 00:39:48,676
I am gonna sue her face off.
790
00:39:48,677 --> 00:39:50,470
She curtailed your tour.
791
00:39:50,471 --> 00:39:51,763
She isn't firing you.
792
00:39:51,764 --> 00:39:53,598
You can't talk to journalists
793
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:55,975
or Congress without permission from State.
794
00:39:55,976 --> 00:39:57,560
- Yeah, fuck that.
- They'll sue you.
795
00:39:57,561 --> 00:39:59,145
I'm not sure
you want that to be your life.
796
00:39:59,146 --> 00:40:00,231
I am.
797
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,315
I am absolutely sure.
798
00:40:02,316 --> 00:40:04,819
You'll think about it when...
when you get home.
799
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:08,780
- Home is London.
- For right now, it's Washington.
800
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:09,865
Well...
801
00:40:10,491 --> 00:40:13,786
I have to pack up my life in London.
802
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,579
- We're gonna take care of that.
- What does that mean?
803
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:19,207
It means Neil's gonna pack up your house,
804
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:21,376
because they don't want
you going back to London,
805
00:40:21,377 --> 00:40:23,294
and Eidra's gonna pack up your suitcase.
806
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:25,256
They don't want you going to the hotel.
807
00:40:27,133 --> 00:40:29,343
- Eidra?
- Stuart.
808
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:31,302
I am so sorry,
809
00:40:31,303 --> 00:40:33,889
and we're gonna fight this, but right now...
810
00:40:52,825 --> 00:40:54,827
[orchestral strings intensify]
811
00:41:12,845 --> 00:41:15,013
- [door knocking]
- Yeah?
812
00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:16,222
[music stops]
813
00:41:16,223 --> 00:41:18,850
- Hi.
- Did you talk to Ganon?
814
00:41:18,851 --> 00:41:20,310
Billie.
815
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,729
- She gonna stop it?
- Not right this minute.
816
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:23,814
There's, um...
817
00:41:24,690 --> 00:41:25,983
Montana?
818
00:41:27,193 --> 00:41:28,485
After the conference...
819
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:29,570
Stuart...
820
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:31,614
will be in Washington by then.
821
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:34,575
- Is he...?
- What?
822
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:38,036
- Okay?
- Where is he?
823
00:41:38,037 --> 00:41:41,582
He's on his way
to some shithole near the airport.
824
00:41:42,374 --> 00:41:43,500
Hotel.
825
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:47,922
I'm packing him,
so he can go back to Washington.
826
00:41:49,006 --> 00:41:50,215
And I'm packing me,
827
00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:51,884
so I can go back to London.
828
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,597
- Why?
- Because his house is full of my shit.
829
00:41:57,139 --> 00:41:59,307
And my flat is full of his shit.
830
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:03,604
So I am the only person in the UK mission
with enough security clearance
831
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,524
to execute the curtailment of his tour.
832
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:09,526
Eidra, I'm...
833
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:11,654
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
834
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,700
- The president is...
- What is she?
835
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:21,330
I don't know,
but we're not gonna figure it out here.
836
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:23,831
Once the conference is over,
837
00:42:23,832 --> 00:42:25,416
I will go back to DC
838
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:27,211
and I will try to turn this around.
839
00:42:29,463 --> 00:42:31,799
Are you gonna...?
840
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:34,301
I mean...
841
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:37,971
if he ends up spending
some time in the States,
842
00:42:37,972 --> 00:42:41,058
I could try to facilitate a move for you.
843
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:45,104
You think I'm leaving my post?
844
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:47,939
I think you both have a lot to figure out.
845
00:42:47,940 --> 00:42:50,275
I didn't come to London to get a husband.
846
00:42:50,276 --> 00:42:51,402
I do something.
847
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:55,281
I'm not gonna quit to have tall babies.
848
00:42:59,994 --> 00:43:02,329
Even if I wanted to,
what the fuck would they eat?
849
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:04,415
Somebody needs a job.
850
00:43:07,543 --> 00:43:09,545
[somber music playing]
851
00:43:32,234 --> 00:43:33,444
[music fades]
852
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:39,992
- Want me to stay?
- I'll be up in a second.
853
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,580
I'm sorry about your deputy,
854
00:43:45,581 --> 00:43:47,957
but I'm not prepared
to discuss personnel with you.
855
00:43:47,958 --> 00:43:49,500
This isn't about my deputy.
856
00:43:49,501 --> 00:43:52,837
Ma'am, you're making
an unprecedented departure
857
00:43:52,838 --> 00:43:55,298
- from the historic imperative to avoid--
- Okay.
858
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:58,968
...at all costs
a direct military confrontation
859
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:01,346
between the world's
two dominant nuclear powers.
860
00:44:01,347 --> 00:44:03,806
- Calculated escalation...
- This isn't a calculated escalation.
861
00:44:03,807 --> 00:44:06,059
...and preventative displays of force
are not tools of my invention.
862
00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:07,143
They're not, but--
863
00:44:07,144 --> 00:44:09,771
Russia responds to strength,
not appeasement.
864
00:44:09,772 --> 00:44:12,690
They sent a superweapon
on a stealth mission in the North Sea.
865
00:44:12,691 --> 00:44:14,275
That's the original sin,
866
00:44:14,276 --> 00:44:16,944
and ignoring it is
more dangerous than confronting it.
867
00:44:16,945 --> 00:44:18,529
They punch until they hit steel.
868
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:20,615
They do that because they have to,
869
00:44:20,616 --> 00:44:22,283
because we start out stronger
870
00:44:22,284 --> 00:44:24,619
and then we pile on a set of alliances,
871
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:27,830
which are
the greatest force multiplier on Earth.
872
00:44:27,831 --> 00:44:31,376
We get to talk quietly.
We're carrying a bigger stick.
873
00:44:31,377 --> 00:44:33,086
I love a display of force,
874
00:44:33,087 --> 00:44:35,254
but if you don't do
the moves that come first,
875
00:44:35,255 --> 00:44:37,716
it's just a spasm of aggression.
876
00:44:41,887 --> 00:44:44,640
Kate, you're still here
877
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:48,352
because if I get rid of you,
I have to get rid of your husband.
878
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:51,312
Up until now,
879
00:44:51,313 --> 00:44:53,272
that has been an impediment,
880
00:44:53,273 --> 00:44:55,150
but I am getting over it.
881
00:45:04,493 --> 00:45:05,660
[drink pouring]
882
00:45:05,661 --> 00:45:06,870
[door closes]
883
00:45:10,666 --> 00:45:11,667
Katie.
884
00:45:13,836 --> 00:45:15,295
I'm gonna talk to Grace.
885
00:45:16,588 --> 00:45:17,715
There's a line.
886
00:45:19,758 --> 00:45:20,884
She crossed it.
887
00:45:24,054 --> 00:45:25,723
If you go at her now,
888
00:45:26,598 --> 00:45:29,143
you will no longer be vice president.
889
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:34,898
Turns out that's the line.
890
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:41,280
[pensive music playing]
891
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:03,301
We don't punish dissent.
892
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:05,428
- That's sacrosanct at stake.
- In a lot of places.
893
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:08,556
If she's reactive, it touched a nerve.
It's a blazing red light.
894
00:46:08,557 --> 00:46:11,101
I see it. I haven't missed the light.
895
00:46:11,977 --> 00:46:13,227
Good morning.
896
00:46:13,228 --> 00:46:16,647
You didn't think that there was
anything wrong with telling the British PM
897
00:46:16,648 --> 00:46:18,858
that we plan to shoot at her navy?
898
00:46:18,859 --> 00:46:21,944
It's a message designed to send
everyone back to their corners.
899
00:46:21,945 --> 00:46:23,696
The president thinks
there's something wrong
900
00:46:23,697 --> 00:46:26,908
or she wouldn't have sacked a man
for suggesting it was an iffy idea.
901
00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,661
- So talk to her.
- I did. We both did.
902
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:31,288
You need to talk to her.
903
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:34,041
I don't think it's the right time.
904
00:46:35,501 --> 00:46:37,795
- What happened to you?
- Miguel.
905
00:46:38,545 --> 00:46:39,837
It's gonna be a long day.
906
00:46:39,838 --> 00:46:41,881
She's attacking our closest ally.
907
00:46:41,882 --> 00:46:42,966
[Kate] She's not.
908
00:46:43,926 --> 00:46:48,346
Our adversary placed an apocalypse weapon
in the heart of the Western alliance.
909
00:46:48,347 --> 00:46:50,139
It's not just her prerogative.
910
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:53,226
It's her responsibility
to react to that threat
911
00:46:53,227 --> 00:46:54,769
with a targeted show of force.
912
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:56,771
- Diplomatic options--
- Have been exhausted.
913
00:46:56,772 --> 00:46:59,649
Haven't been touched.
The special envoy's never heard of them.
914
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:03,487
Limited applications of power have
a time and a place.
915
00:47:03,987 --> 00:47:07,406
If we didn't believe that,
we'd still be British subjects.
916
00:47:07,407 --> 00:47:10,701
Why do you sound
like a PR flack for the Kremlin?
917
00:47:10,702 --> 00:47:12,955
'Cause if she doesn't, I'm next.
918
00:47:15,707 --> 00:47:18,084
And if the president's prepared
to part with me,
919
00:47:18,085 --> 00:47:20,045
she's prepared to part with you.
920
00:47:20,629 --> 00:47:22,172
Chilling effect works.
921
00:47:23,757 --> 00:47:24,716
[door opens]
922
00:47:28,303 --> 00:47:29,554
Good morning to you too.
923
00:47:29,555 --> 00:47:31,014
- Good morning, ma'am.
- Ma'am.
924
00:47:32,266 --> 00:47:33,934
Everyone sleep okay?
925
00:47:39,481 --> 00:47:41,066
Is there something on our minds?
926
00:48:01,879 --> 00:48:03,881
[serious string music playing]
927
00:48:17,102 --> 00:48:19,104
[indistinct chatter]
928
00:48:20,022 --> 00:48:22,024
[Bassani welcomes in Italian]
929
00:48:24,443 --> 00:48:25,526
[in English] Good morning.
930
00:48:25,527 --> 00:48:28,988
Welcome back
to the member states of the G7
931
00:48:28,989 --> 00:48:32,742
and to our colleagues
representing the European Union.
932
00:48:32,743 --> 00:48:34,493
They have once again requested
933
00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:38,247
we vote to make them
an official eighth member of the group.
934
00:48:38,248 --> 00:48:42,084
So I'm here to say
be careful what you wish for.
935
00:48:42,085 --> 00:48:43,669
[scattered laughter]
936
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:48,549
[Bassani] Anyway, we will put the question
to a vote tomorrow before we adjourn.
937
00:48:48,550 --> 00:48:50,176
Pardon me, Prime Minister Bassani.
938
00:48:50,177 --> 00:48:53,429
Would it be possible for me to make
a short remark before we continue?
939
00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:55,056
[Bassani] The floor is yours.
940
00:48:55,057 --> 00:48:56,641
[Grace] Thank you so much, Massimo.
941
00:48:56,642 --> 00:49:00,062
And I will be brief.
We all prefer to hear from you.
942
00:49:03,023 --> 00:49:05,942
A faulty nuclear-powered
Russian submarine ran aground
943
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:07,818
off the coast of the United Kingdom,
944
00:49:07,819 --> 00:49:09,821
killing all the crew on board.
945
00:49:10,697 --> 00:49:13,783
In order to prevent
a Fukushima-style catastrophe,
946
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:16,703
the United States Navy
was deployed to disable it.
947
00:49:17,204 --> 00:49:19,163
They are now putting their lives
on the line
948
00:49:19,164 --> 00:49:22,166
to protect the United Kingdom
and all the North Sea nations
949
00:49:22,167 --> 00:49:23,919
from Russian reprisal.
950
00:49:25,003 --> 00:49:26,253
Prime Minister Vaughn,
951
00:49:26,254 --> 00:49:31,009
with all the wisdom of a three-day tenure,
prefers to welcome the Russians in.
952
00:49:32,219 --> 00:49:35,555
We feel quite strongly
she should revoke the invitation.
953
00:49:36,139 --> 00:49:37,598
And as you'll learn later today,
954
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:40,559
she hopes to arbitrate that impasse here.
955
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,397
She'll tell you the Americans are
prepared to fire on any country
956
00:49:44,398 --> 00:49:46,650
that interferes with our mission.
957
00:49:48,193 --> 00:49:50,654
Let me be clear, friends.
958
00:49:52,489 --> 00:49:54,241
She is absolutely right.
959
00:49:55,409 --> 00:49:59,829
Nothing will stop us from keeping
Russian warships and surveillance vessels
960
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:01,288
and tactical weaponry
961
00:50:01,289 --> 00:50:04,125
and rusty 80-year-old
nuclear mitigation equipment
962
00:50:04,126 --> 00:50:06,294
out of the European seas.
963
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:10,047
If you choose to expel us
from the G7 for that,
964
00:50:10,048 --> 00:50:12,050
that's your prerogative.
965
00:50:13,176 --> 00:50:16,721
The countries in this room make
the world's most consequential decisions,
966
00:50:16,722 --> 00:50:19,182
and we're honored to be a part of it.
967
00:50:19,683 --> 00:50:21,934
And we're concerned that if we step out,
968
00:50:21,935 --> 00:50:24,103
some of our adversaries will imagine
969
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:27,481
that what remains is
a collection of declining middle powers
970
00:50:27,482 --> 00:50:31,653
with aging military populations
and gasping financial markets.
971
00:50:32,404 --> 00:50:33,821
It won't be the end of the alliance,
972
00:50:33,822 --> 00:50:36,533
but I fear it may be
the waning of its relevance.
973
00:50:37,617 --> 00:50:39,744
If that time has come, please let me know,
974
00:50:39,745 --> 00:50:42,164
and with a heavy heart,
we will say goodbye.
975
00:50:43,999 --> 00:50:48,086
If not, we look forward
to protecting our nations together.
976
00:50:54,176 --> 00:50:56,511
[scattered whispering]
977
00:51:05,979 --> 00:51:08,522
I'll take that as a sign
I'm welcome for the rest of the morning.
978
00:51:08,523 --> 00:51:10,941
Prime Minister Bassani,
I hope you'll forgive the interruption.
979
00:51:10,942 --> 00:51:12,110
Please continue.
980
00:51:13,737 --> 00:51:14,654
[clears throat]
981
00:51:16,615 --> 00:51:19,241
Well, it is, uh...
982
00:51:19,242 --> 00:51:22,079
it is Italy's great pleasure
983
00:51:22,704 --> 00:51:26,541
to host this year's
Leaders' Summit here in Lucca.
984
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:32,631
Each nation here is
protective of its freedoms.
985
00:51:33,131 --> 00:51:38,845
But we are equally devoted
to cross-border cooperation.
986
00:51:41,348 --> 00:51:42,556
[Bassani clears throat]
987
00:51:42,557 --> 00:51:46,394
The issues we face are daunting, but...
988
00:51:47,229 --> 00:51:50,856
there is strong reason for optimism,
989
00:51:50,857 --> 00:51:55,695
because we're all here to tackle
these issues collaboratively.
990
00:52:00,158 --> 00:52:04,621
The Group of Seven has no treaty,
no legal binding.
991
00:52:05,122 --> 00:52:07,791
We choose to stand together,
992
00:52:08,416 --> 00:52:10,000
not because we agree on everything,
993
00:52:10,001 --> 00:52:13,712
but because we agree
on a few precious truths.
994
00:52:13,713 --> 00:52:16,132
[Kate whispers] You didn't know.
Remember that.
995
00:52:16,133 --> 00:52:19,803
[Bassani] Growth is not zero-sum.
996
00:52:20,303 --> 00:52:22,263
- Peace...
- I love you so much.
997
00:52:22,264 --> 00:52:23,347
...is not zero-sum.
998
00:52:23,348 --> 00:52:24,682
What are you...?
999
00:52:24,683 --> 00:52:27,644
So we're much better off
bickering together...
1000
00:52:37,863 --> 00:52:39,072
I am...
1001
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:41,825
tendering my resignation.
1002
00:52:43,910 --> 00:52:47,496
I am no longer able to support
1003
00:52:47,497 --> 00:52:50,333
the actions of the Penn administration.
1004
00:53:01,344 --> 00:53:02,679
Sit.
1005
00:53:06,141 --> 00:53:07,392
[whispering] The fuck was that?
1006
00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:10,060
[Grace] Allow me to apologize.
1007
00:53:10,061 --> 00:53:12,271
A member of our delegation
is not feeling well
1008
00:53:12,272 --> 00:53:14,273
and has not been for some time.
1009
00:53:14,274 --> 00:53:15,650
Let's move on.
1010
00:53:17,777 --> 00:53:19,570
[Bassani] So, I... I was saying growth...
1011
00:53:19,571 --> 00:53:22,073
- I have no idea what that was.
- ...is not zero-sum.
1012
00:53:22,574 --> 00:53:24,242
Peace is not zero-sum.
1013
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,037
[Bassani continues distantly]
So together we send a message.
1014
00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:31,248
Compromise, engagement,
1015
00:53:31,249 --> 00:53:35,879
diplomacy, and openness are
the most reliable paths
1016
00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:39,799
to real sustainable prosperity.
1017
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:45,472
The kind that is only achievable
in free and open societies.
1018
00:53:53,980 --> 00:53:55,440
I tender my resignation.
1019
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,237
I'm unable to continue serving
in the Penn administration.
1020
00:54:04,491 --> 00:54:06,493
[indistinct whispering]
1021
00:54:09,162 --> 00:54:11,372
[Bassani] Madam President,
should we take a short recess?
1022
00:54:11,373 --> 00:54:12,791
No, thank you.
1023
00:54:17,712 --> 00:54:20,215
For 500 years,
1024
00:54:21,007 --> 00:54:24,803
while power was consolidated
throughout Europe...
1025
00:54:28,932 --> 00:54:31,101
[poignant music playing softly]
1026
00:54:41,486 --> 00:54:42,779
[door opens]
1027
00:54:58,253 --> 00:55:00,255
[music gently rises]
1028
00:55:16,313 --> 00:55:17,314
[door opens]
1029
00:55:22,610 --> 00:55:23,862
Kate.
1030
00:55:54,267 --> 00:55:55,268
You sure?
1031
00:56:10,742 --> 00:56:12,744
[music becomes purposeful]
1032
00:56:14,662 --> 00:56:17,123
[journalists' questions overlap]
1033
00:56:27,175 --> 00:56:30,595
The Vice President of the United States
would like to make a statement.
1034
00:56:43,942 --> 00:56:44,942
Good morning.
1035
00:56:44,943 --> 00:56:45,902
[music halts]
1036
00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:51,032
[dramatic string music playing]
1037
00:59:02,205 --> 00:59:03,748
[music fades out]
