Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,882 --> 00:00:11,010
If this was Tehran,
I will rain hellfire upon them.
2
00:00:11,094 --> 00:00:13,972
A lot hinges
on whether we believe this is Iran
3
00:00:14,055 --> 00:00:15,515
or we believe it's someone else.
4
00:00:15,598 --> 00:00:18,351
When it's Hal,
you have to be really fucking sure.
5
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:20,437
- You're getting divorced.
- No, we're not.
6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,439
The ambassador says your marriage is over.
7
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:24,107
You ever been married?
8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,943
There was a call
the day of the approach on a burner.
9
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:29,654
I called Niccolo. He called Shahin.
That's the whole story.
10
00:00:29,738 --> 00:00:30,572
- Is it?
- Yeah.
11
00:00:30,655 --> 00:00:34,451
My husband snuck out and called Iran?
And then lied to me about it?
12
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,454
They kidnapped my husband
and called off a hit.
13
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:40,457
The prime minister
has to stop saying it's Iran.
14
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:42,000
It wasn't Iran.
15
00:00:42,083 --> 00:00:44,210
Ambassador,
Number 10 will walk back nothing.
16
00:00:44,294 --> 00:00:47,964
If you're concerned, I urge you
to speak with President Rayburn,
17
00:00:48,047 --> 00:00:50,759
who clearly has a great deal of influence
over the prime minister.
18
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:55,013
As soon as this lunch is over,
get on some plane and not be here.
19
00:00:55,096 --> 00:00:56,890
You have so thoroughly fucked
with my head,
20
00:00:56,973 --> 00:01:00,852
I can't do the fucking job
if you are within a 100-mile radius.
21
00:01:00,935 --> 00:01:04,647
Katie, the vice president's gonna resign.
They want you to replace her.
22
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:06,066
You can't be divorced.
23
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:42,392
Thank you, guys.
24
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,941
Ambassador Wyler.
More time with me than you ever wanted.
25
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,193
And you. Like a bad fucking penny.
26
00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:52,111
- Welcome to Blighty, sir.
- Yeah.
27
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:53,071
Looking good.
28
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:55,490
That's because
nobody lets me eat a carbohydrate.
29
00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:57,784
- Well, it's working.
- I'd rather be dead.
30
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:05,792
Welcome, Mr. President.
31
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,002
Ma'am. You got this.
32
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:09,546
Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
33
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:11,673
Mm-hm.
34
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,301
Sharon? Where's the necessary?
35
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:19,097
Pardon me. May I show you, Mr. President?
This way, sir.
36
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:21,721
- The PM is ten minutes out.
- Great.
37
00:02:22,851 --> 00:02:24,352
Are we your first guests?
38
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:25,895
We're a real nightmare.
39
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:27,021
I just told her.
40
00:02:27,605 --> 00:02:29,232
- Now?
- Seemed the time.
41
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:32,068
- Did it?
- May have been a miscalculation.
42
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:35,947
- Welcome to Winfield.
- You have time to think about it.
43
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:39,242
You are on a short list.
Doesn't mean you're forced into anything.
44
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:40,660
- I just told her.
- Just now.
45
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:42,494
Really?
46
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:44,539
Cancel the press avail.
47
00:02:44,622 --> 00:02:47,041
He can have lunch, no photos, and then...
48
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:50,837
- Does she need to lie down?
- "Hellfire on Tehran"
49
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,089
got Nicol Trowbridge
the bump of a lifetime.
50
00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:56,342
If he's standing next to the president,
he's gonna say it again.
51
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:58,112
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Okay.
52
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:00,013
Now, that's a nice powder room.
53
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:01,222
Mr. President.
54
00:03:02,473 --> 00:03:04,809
The ambassador wants
to cancel the press avail.
55
00:03:04,893 --> 00:03:07,228
She's concerned
it'll look like an endorsement.
56
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:09,647
Of a military strike on Tehran.
57
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:11,649
I'm not sending him MiGs.
58
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,067
His Navy got hit.
59
00:03:13,151 --> 00:03:15,278
I show up and stand next to the guy.
60
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:17,906
Sir, you're gonna be
pinned like a butterfly
61
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:21,784
- while the PM is quoting Leviticus.
- Maybe we don't take questions.
62
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:24,871
- The visual is enough.
- The visual is also not okay.
63
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:27,457
The British government
still thinks it's Iran.
64
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:30,668
- Contrary evidence is having no impact.
- Why would it?
65
00:03:31,252 --> 00:03:35,423
We've got pictures
of an Iranian boat leaving a port in Iran.
66
00:03:35,506 --> 00:03:38,635
- And what on the other side? Some guy?
- A compelling guy.
67
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:41,888
They're not saying they're still
gathering facts. They're saying it's Iran.
68
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:47,936
- It's not Iran.
- Because of the compelling guy?
69
00:03:48,019 --> 00:03:50,188
- Yes.
- Not sure you get out enough.
70
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:51,271
Let's go.
71
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:53,483
Hal?
72
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:54,566
Sir...
73
00:03:55,985 --> 00:03:57,153
it's me.
74
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,237
I'm the guy.
75
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,198
They kidnapped me.
76
00:04:00,281 --> 00:04:02,617
So, first of all, it was a pull-aside.
77
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,412
They kidnapped me and put me on the phone
with the deputy foreign minister of Iran.
78
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:07,372
Fucking hell.
79
00:04:07,455 --> 00:04:10,416
He stuck his neck on the line
and his wife's and kids',
80
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:12,001
of which there are five.
81
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:13,127
They didn't do it.
82
00:04:16,005 --> 00:04:18,633
- Let me shake your damn hand.
- It's fine. He's a friend.
83
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:22,679
- Not Iran. That's a fucking relief.
- It hasn't moved the Brits.
84
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:26,140
- Tell them it was Hal Wyler.
- She did. She told the foreign secretary.
85
00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:27,993
- She told Dennison?
- Didn't move the needle.
86
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:30,645
We should look at Russia
and Saudi Arabia
87
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:32,647
and unexploded marine ordinance.
88
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:35,775
- Trowbridge won't get off Iran.
- We should've canceled the trip.
89
00:04:35,858 --> 00:04:38,695
Kate asked the secretary of state
to cancel.
90
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:43,283
- He wouldn't do it. He knew it was me.
- I swear, that man can hold a grudge.
91
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:45,928
He thinks I'm the only reason
there's no peace in the Middle East.
92
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,680
- It's not about that.
- I find it flattering.
93
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:50,290
The secretary made a reasonable decision
in the moment.
94
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:52,875
State and CIA
can't give unprocessed intelligence
95
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:57,505
to a president at an inflection point.
That's gone badly for them in the past.
96
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:00,800
Forty cameras are on their way
and the prime minister is off the rails.
97
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:02,802
You can't stand next to the guy.
98
00:05:05,179 --> 00:05:07,348
Ambassador Wyler,
the prime minister is here.
99
00:05:33,958 --> 00:05:35,710
Don't know why
we don't do this more often.
100
00:05:35,793 --> 00:05:36,993
If I knew we could have you in
101
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:39,756
and dispense with you an hour later,
we'd have done it all the time.
102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,716
- If I could have a quick word.
- Of course.
103
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:43,550
Can you...?
104
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:45,427
Gentlemen.
105
00:05:49,223 --> 00:05:50,266
Three courses.
106
00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:53,478
Light, but still, it's a lot.
107
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:56,397
The press availability
might be gilding the lily.
108
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:58,483
The press event is the lily.
109
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,485
The president is uncomfortable
with the optics.
110
00:06:00,568 --> 00:06:03,547
The prime minister is uncomfortable
with 41 dead. Perhaps we call it square.
111
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:05,364
He's had two days to shade that comment.
112
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:08,284
Shading's not what brought Mr. Trowbridge
to Number 10.
113
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,367
Anything.
114
00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:13,956
"I didn't mean hellfire on Tehran.
I meant hellfire on whoever.
115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,919
And we don't know who 'whoever' is,
but we are trying to figure it out."
116
00:06:18,002 --> 00:06:19,045
Oh, you're right.
117
00:06:19,128 --> 00:06:20,922
It has a ring.
118
00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:24,967
They can take candids of the lunch.
119
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:28,638
Then it looks like a delegation of 12
come to scold the prime minister.
120
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,474
How about a couch, conferring
in the sitting room after lunch?
121
00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,476
- No.
- They'd look like equals.
122
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:36,771
He has a short torso
and looks like a troll on a couch.
123
00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:41,859
- If they were to dine, the two of them...
- Then it really looks like a scolding.
124
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:43,503
Looks like everyone else was kicked out
125
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:45,929
so my guy could whack your guy on the nose
with a newspaper.
126
00:06:48,324 --> 00:06:51,410
I think we should tuck in. Hm?
You must be starving.
127
00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:54,288
- They're still horse-trading.
- I'm producing sound.
128
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:57,041
I'd always have a sandwich
before every state dinner.
129
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:59,406
That way I wouldn't land at the table
like a rabid animal.
130
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:00,878
That's not a terrible idea.
131
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:01,962
Frances?
132
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:03,380
Sir?
133
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,553
- If it was just the two of them...
- Yes?
134
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:11,722
If. And if the president
is convinced it's not Iran...
135
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:15,476
- That's not an if. He's convinced.
- I'd like to reach the end of my thought.
136
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:17,102
Sorry.
137
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,899
If the president
is convinced that it's not Iran,
138
00:07:21,983 --> 00:07:24,086
a lunch for two would provide him
with the opportunity
139
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,696
- to persuade the prime minister.
- Exactly.
140
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:31,159
To persuade him
that we're all served by a cooling.
141
00:07:31,242 --> 00:07:32,326
Yes.
142
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:36,789
- Like I asked you to do yesterday.
- I'm not president of the United States.
143
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,208
- On that, we agree.
- He's persuasive in a way I can't be.
144
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:43,296
Especially if you don't try.
This is good. I think this is good. Yes?
145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,019
What if it was just the two of them?
146
00:07:58,102 --> 00:08:00,229
- And me.
- Or just the two of them.
147
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,442
- William Rayburn, off script, no staff?
- I realize...
148
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:06,736
Shooting the shit
with Nicol fucking Trickle?
149
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:09,155
- The alternative is...
- It's a terrible idea.
150
00:08:09,238 --> 00:08:12,408
I've been floated for VP. There are
a lot of bad ideas on the table today.
151
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:16,287
- Okay, so we're taking a breath.
- Know what?
152
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,581
Maybe listening
to the evolution of the thought.
153
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:22,793
It is an opportunity for Rayburn
to explain to Trowbridge slowly
154
00:08:22,877 --> 00:08:25,505
why a human source
on a well-established back channel
155
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:29,342
is more compelling than a fuzzy drone shot
of an Iranian fast boat.
156
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,928
I understand the thinking.
I just don't agree with it.
157
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:34,514
It was the least bad idea, so I said yes.
158
00:08:43,814 --> 00:08:45,608
Thank you. Just the two.
159
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:50,696
He loved the English language.
He loved idiom. He loved the poetry of it.
160
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,990
So I taught him a phrase a day.
161
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:55,451
The mission wraps.
I'm leaving Zagreb and I say:
162
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,954
"Pasha, we've been like brothers,
163
00:08:58,037 --> 00:09:00,414
but from now on, we're not gonna see
so much of each other,
164
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:03,543
just fleeting glimpses
like ships in the night."
165
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:06,879
So the next day, we're at the palace,
he says to the president:
166
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:08,464
"Hal Wyler is leaving us.
167
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:12,593
We have been brothers,
but now we are only lambs in the dark."
168
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:14,845
Lambs in the dark.
169
00:09:15,805 --> 00:09:17,473
- "Sheeps."
- In the night.
170
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,058
Right? The man's a poet.
171
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:20,461
Sheeps in the night.
172
00:09:20,518 --> 00:09:24,230
- On my best day, disoriented livestock.
- Right on the nose.
173
00:09:24,313 --> 00:09:26,524
- Katherine.
- Oh, dear.
174
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:30,278
He call you that when you've deployed
your schoolmarm glower?
175
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:32,946
Lunch is served.
176
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:33,989
Ah.
177
00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:35,448
At last.
178
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:38,428
- I met John Gage. Do you know him?
- Oh, no.
179
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:39,662
He's a motherfucker.
180
00:09:40,204 --> 00:09:42,748
- Pardon me. He is a motherfucker.
- Yeah.
181
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:46,002
- I'm beginning to get that impression.
- He was a neocon in '03.
182
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,587
Now he's an isolationist.
183
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:50,631
If you don't like his fundamental values,
wait five minutes.
184
00:09:51,465 --> 00:09:52,465
Prime minister.
185
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,260
Oh, here we go.
186
00:09:54,343 --> 00:09:56,429
- This is a message of import.
- Of course.
187
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:59,032
He has to drop the Iran thing.
He can't even say the word again.
188
00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:00,308
- Yeah.
- They didn't do it.
189
00:10:00,391 --> 00:10:01,475
- Yeah.
- Don't "yeah" me.
190
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,728
People are throwing rocks
at the Iranian embassy.
191
00:10:03,811 --> 00:10:07,148
If we were home,
they could sidle up with an AR-15.
192
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:10,359
Right, it's the perfect time
for American sanctimony.
193
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:13,321
- Don't know why I bother.
- I abandoned a drink.
194
00:10:13,404 --> 00:10:14,655
Perhaps a fresh one.
195
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:17,408
No, for the good of the planet, waste not.
196
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:20,953
Toss it out, and I'll have
radical hausfrauen torching my home.
197
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:44,935
I'm so sorry, sir, your deputy is asking
if you can join him...
198
00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:47,647
Do you know the last time
he was alone in a room with anyone?
199
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:49,273
- I don't.
- I don't either.
200
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:52,151
The secretary of defense
is gonna lose his shit. Find Leiber.
201
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:55,780
You know, if you wanna have a talk
with the ambassador
202
00:10:55,863 --> 00:10:57,615
about the vice presidency...
203
00:10:58,699 --> 00:11:01,160
now is not a terrible time.
204
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:12,505
Grace Penn recently learned her husband
misplaced a $6.3 million NIH grant.
205
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:14,799
We tried to keep a lid on it,
206
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:17,426
but some relentless ferret
from The Wall Street Journal
207
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,590
is putting it together,
and when he does, she's done.
208
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:23,641
The list of people
who can replace her is very short.
209
00:11:23,724 --> 00:11:26,769
It features
four identical-on-paper female legislators
210
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:30,856
who'd all kill for the job and use it to
launch their own presidential campaigns.
211
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:33,359
It's something
that makes the president extremely ornery.
212
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:36,570
You're not cut out
for campaigning, clearly,
213
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:41,117
but governing is something you've managed
to pull off under live artillery fire,
214
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,245
which is not unlike a chat
with the U.S. Congress.
215
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:49,041
It's entirely possible
that you could be a reasonable lieutenant
216
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:52,795
to help a lame-duck legacy-build overseas,
which is the only way possible
217
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:56,257
given the polarized deathmatch
that is today's Washington.
218
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,761
That is the worst marriage proposal
I ever heard.
219
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:05,391
Sorry. Ms. Park's looking for you.
Can you step out?
220
00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:07,350
I'd love to.
221
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:14,442
Any idea why some CIA base
in ass-fuck northern Iraq
222
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:17,736
is making NSA requests
about cell calls in London?
223
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:19,613
I don't.
224
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:23,033
- Did she ask you for an NSA search?
- No.
225
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:25,369
Nothing about SIGINT? Or GCHQ?
226
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:27,705
Can you just talk about
what you're talking about?
227
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:33,752
A request was filed by Carole Langetti,
228
00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:37,339
a CIA analyst in Iraq
who worked with Kate Wyler in Baghdad.
229
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:42,219
She put in an order for a signals
intelligence collection from GCHQ.
230
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:43,804
- That's not normal?
- No.
231
00:12:44,805 --> 00:12:47,433
Why was the ambassador
14 inches up my ass about vetting a tip
232
00:12:47,516 --> 00:12:48,836
that came in through her husband?
233
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:51,479
She just got here.
She wants to be careful.
234
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:55,107
She ambushed the foreign secretary
yesterday. Is that careful?
235
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:59,361
- It wasn't my favorite.
- Yeah. She's careful with my work.
236
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,822
- But not her own.
- We do the same thing.
237
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:05,826
All the time. We know people
in other countries, we ask for favors.
238
00:13:08,412 --> 00:13:10,412
You've got six months.
That's plenty of time.
239
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:13,125
If the story breaks,
we don't have plenty of anything.
240
00:13:34,396 --> 00:13:35,396
Hi.
241
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:41,195
Quite a day, huh?
242
00:13:46,408 --> 00:13:49,662
- Eidra would like to speak to you.
- Which one is that?
243
00:13:50,412 --> 00:13:51,412
CIA.
244
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,041
When you're done.
245
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:01,882
You knew.
246
00:14:02,841 --> 00:14:05,928
About the VP? Yeah.
247
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:11,517
That she was leaving or that I was
on a shortlist to replace her?
248
00:14:13,561 --> 00:14:14,561
Both.
249
00:14:18,857 --> 00:14:21,902
Anyone else around here know more
about my life than I do?
250
00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:24,196
I don't think so.
251
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,407
A handful in Washington.
252
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:28,408
Five.
253
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:30,786
Actual hand.
254
00:14:57,479 --> 00:14:59,899
It's been a busy few days
since you touched down.
255
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,737
My introductory briefing
on the intelligence relationship
256
00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:07,907
between the U.S. and the UK
hasn't made it onto the schedule.
257
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:11,410
- I'm sure we'll get there.
- The relationship is unique.
258
00:15:12,202 --> 00:15:16,165
We share almost everything.
More than with any other country.
259
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,168
We don't spy on them,
they don't spy on us.
260
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:23,380
MI6 and CIA share intelligence.
We run ops together.
261
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:26,175
- Mm-hm.
- NSA and GCHQ share hardware.
262
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:31,680
There's a traffic control system
for information the NSA swaps with GCHQ.
263
00:15:32,222 --> 00:15:33,641
It's called Sorting Hat.
264
00:15:33,724 --> 00:15:35,851
- Like from Harry Potter.
- Cute.
265
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:43,233
When you request intelligence
from your friend in northern Iraq,
266
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:47,780
and your friend orders a collection
from GCHQ about a target in London,
267
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:52,493
MI6 gets an alert from the Sorting Hat.
268
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:55,412
And then MI6 is confused,
269
00:15:55,496 --> 00:16:00,834
because when CIA London makes
a request of GCHQ, we tell them.
270
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:05,339
So now MI6 wants to know
why I'm keeping things from them.
271
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:09,051
Which is tough to answer.
Because of course there are,
272
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:11,845
between ourselves,
a number of things I'm keeping from them.
273
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:16,475
Managing them isn't easy. It's even
less easy when I don't know what they are.
274
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:19,143
I'm sorry.
275
00:16:22,564 --> 00:16:24,525
- You should've come to me.
- I did.
276
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:26,652
You acted like I was the nosy neighbor.
277
00:16:26,735 --> 00:16:29,279
- If you don't trust me enough to tell me...
- I trust you.
278
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:30,489
I'm sure you don't.
279
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:32,908
I don't trust my spouse.
280
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:36,370
It's worse, right?
281
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:43,252
- Wanna give me some context?
- I really don't.
282
00:16:54,096 --> 00:16:56,265
Hal contacted Shahin first.
283
00:16:57,141 --> 00:16:58,642
Not the other way around.
284
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:00,351
He started it.
285
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:06,066
He hates all the ideas.
286
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:08,628
He liked Grace Penn.
Doesn't wanna be married to somebody else.
287
00:17:08,652 --> 00:17:12,614
But it's not gonna be nobody.
At some point, you gotta pick a horse.
288
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:15,616
Yes. Go.
289
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:17,326
What was that?
290
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:19,912
Salt.
291
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:24,752
- The president would like more of it.
- If he hears anything
292
00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:27,128
substantive...
293
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:31,675
Sometimes the president
mutters something like, um,
294
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,302
"Find out what bric-a-brac means."
295
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:37,514
From country to country,
it can mean different things.
296
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:39,766
Okay.
297
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:41,685
I'm wasting my breath.
298
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:45,856
- The vice presidency.
- I think you sold it.
299
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:50,360
- It's supposed to sell itself.
- How about you try again with enthusiasm?
300
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:52,863
- After this debacle?
- You said you wanted a doer.
301
00:17:52,946 --> 00:17:54,406
I changed my mind.
302
00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:55,616
Sir?
303
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:03,332
The ambassador was hoping
you could join her and Ms. Park.
304
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:04,500
In the library.
305
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:13,175
Iran has moved an infantry battalion
from the Pakistan border to the coast.
306
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:14,301
God.
307
00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:21,850
So it was one call to a contact in Italy,
308
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:25,145
a nation that does have
diplomatic relations with Iran.
309
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:29,608
I asked my contact
to tell Shahin that I was in London.
310
00:18:30,192 --> 00:18:33,278
Information he could have gotten
from a newspaper.
311
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:34,905
But he didn't.
312
00:18:34,988 --> 00:18:37,616
You offered yourself up,
and then lied about it.
313
00:18:37,699 --> 00:18:41,161
She can't corroborate this
with anyone else. She has one source.
314
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:43,580
This thing has legs
because of your reputation,
315
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:46,500
and once you've established yourself
as a liar, liar, pants on fire,
316
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:48,502
you undermine game-changing intelligence.
317
00:18:48,585 --> 00:18:50,879
So I'm the first guy ever
318
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,590
to make clandestine contact
without reporting sources and methods?
319
00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:55,717
You aren't a member
of the clandestine services.
320
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,846
- You don't work for the U.S. government.
- If this falls on friendly ears...
321
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:00,449
But if someone wants to fuck with you,
322
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,243
like the secretary of state
because he hates the fucking sight of you,
323
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:06,478
it's a 951 violation,
and they can put you away for ten years.
324
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:08,981
Even Ganon doesn't want me in jail
for ten years.
325
00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:10,941
- Yeah, but I do.
- You should go.
326
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:16,280
- I'll stop.
- We're okay without you.
327
00:19:16,363 --> 00:19:19,324
No, it's... She's had a tough day.
Let her stay.
328
00:19:20,075 --> 00:19:24,496
Okay, this is new to me,
this both of you at the same time.
329
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:26,373
I could use less of it.
330
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:37,634
I'll stop. I'm sorry.
331
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,221
The ambassador is correct.
332
00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:45,350
You making contact with Shahin first
changes the entire analysis.
333
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:46,268
Yeah.
334
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:49,438
Your story is the best tool we have
to de-escalate a situation
335
00:19:49,521 --> 00:19:51,565
that is quickly spinning out of control.
336
00:19:51,648 --> 00:19:53,525
It'd be great if it held water.
337
00:19:55,777 --> 00:19:56,778
Here to help.
338
00:19:56,862 --> 00:20:00,282
Write down every word of your conversation
with the deputy minister
339
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:01,783
and his interlocutor.
340
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,870
He was an assassin. The interlocutor.
341
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:06,914
On the paper.
342
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:09,750
- You don't wanna just talk and record it?
- I don't.
343
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:14,045
Okay.
344
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:38,487
You tried to tell me yesterday.
A bunch of times.
345
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,279
Yeah.
346
00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:42,741
I'm really sorry.
347
00:20:52,876 --> 00:20:55,212
Ma'am, coffee has been served
to the gentlemen.
348
00:20:55,295 --> 00:20:56,296
Okay.
349
00:21:06,306 --> 00:21:08,850
...step up UAV surveillance...
350
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:10,978
They're wrapping up.
351
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:13,397
I'll have the defense secretary
give you a call.
352
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Okay, thank you.
353
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,571
- They're on coffee. Won't be long.
- Mm-hm. Tea, right?
354
00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:26,118
Uh, they serve coffee. It's not great.
But if you ask...
355
00:21:26,201 --> 00:21:27,744
- Did he?
- Who?
356
00:21:28,453 --> 00:21:32,332
- Did the president order coffee?
- I don't know. She served coffee.
357
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:34,543
- Motherfucker. Andrew!
- What's wrong?
358
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:36,878
He can't have coffee.
It sets his heart in A-fib.
359
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:38,797
He fucking sneaks it. Coffee.
360
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:42,134
- Should we get...?
- What did I tell you?
361
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:43,969
- Sir, put it down!
- You see?
362
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,888
- That's extraordinary.
- Isn't it?
363
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:51,350
It's tea.
364
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:53,437
Unbelievable.
365
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,481
My cardiologist is sure
I'm gonna die on his watch.
366
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:59,901
- The list of things I can't ingest.
- This one is serious.
367
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:04,489
I ordered a cup of coffee in Madrid,
it came in this 400-year-old porcelain,
368
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,576
which they had pilfered
from the Chinese in 1882.
369
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:10,495
He batted it out of my hand.
It hit the ground, turned to dust.
370
00:22:10,579 --> 00:22:15,292
Incredible. I can't get a rise out of my
lot unless I strike a child with my car.
371
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:19,921
- I only do it because I love you.
- I don't want your love.
372
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:22,215
Tehran has sent an infantry battalion
to the coast.
373
00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:25,093
He'll back off Iran
once his guys are out of there.
374
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,347
We're gonna send a carrier group
to the Gulf, give them a ride to Bahrain.
375
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:29,723
His ship is sinking.
376
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:32,476
- There it is. See?
- What am I looking at?
377
00:22:33,101 --> 00:22:34,561
The hags tell the Scottish king,
378
00:22:34,644 --> 00:22:39,191
"You shall ne'er be vanquished till
Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane." Macbeth.
379
00:22:39,274 --> 00:22:40,317
The play.
380
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,321
Some sneaky Winfield groundskeeper knew
Barbara Hutton loved the Scottish play,
381
00:22:44,404 --> 00:22:48,950
so he lopped a cutting off the last
Birnam Oak and planted it in the garden.
382
00:22:53,747 --> 00:22:54,998
Did he say "sinking"?
383
00:22:55,624 --> 00:22:57,709
- It's sinking?
- Sorry?
384
00:22:57,793 --> 00:23:00,295
The president said he's sending
a carrier group to the Gulf
385
00:23:00,378 --> 00:23:02,464
to rescue your crew before they drown.
386
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:05,759
How do you not tell me
the ship is sinking?
387
00:23:08,345 --> 00:23:09,971
Because it isn't.
388
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:14,267
Where can we speak privately?
389
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:17,270
- Ah, we could go in...
- Not in the house.
390
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:20,565
- Walls are pretty thick.
- Not... in the house.
391
00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:24,152
- Is it bugged?
- Can we choose an outdoor venue?
392
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:27,614
I moved in five minutes ago.
I haven't scouted the grounds.
393
00:23:28,698 --> 00:23:30,617
- What's that over there?
- The garden?
394
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:32,410
- Yes.
- It looks like a garden.
395
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:34,371
Okay. Let's meet on the other side of it.
396
00:23:34,996 --> 00:23:37,541
You go that way,
I'll cut through the house.
397
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:08,738
A couple M48 Patton tanks
outfitted with Russian smoothbore guns.
398
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:14,369
I'm so sorry to interrupt, ma'am.
Could I...? Just for a moment?
399
00:24:18,665 --> 00:24:23,545
Ambassador Wyler asked if you'd ask the
secretary of defense for a keel report.
400
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:24,838
From the carrier.
401
00:24:24,921 --> 00:24:27,132
- A keel report.
- Yes. Thank you.
402
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,344
And it's an honor to meet you.
403
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:34,639
What the hell is a keel report?
404
00:24:39,102 --> 00:24:41,188
The carrier is taking on water,
405
00:24:41,271 --> 00:24:44,357
which is not unexpected
given the yawning gash in its hull.
406
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:47,903
HMS Courageous is designed to take fire,
407
00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:51,698
seal off the debilitated compartment,
and remain afloat.
408
00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:53,742
Why does the president think it's sinking?
409
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:55,744
Presumably someone told him.
410
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:57,912
Because...?
411
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:02,834
What did the president pledge to send
on this rescue mission?
412
00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:04,753
A carrier group.
413
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:07,671
Warships.
414
00:25:09,007 --> 00:25:12,135
Had the prime minister asked
for an American show of force in the Gulf,
415
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:13,499
the president would have refused
416
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:17,724
because it could launch both our countries
into a catastrophic regional conflict.
417
00:25:18,725 --> 00:25:19,851
But a distress call...
418
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:23,230
He's luring a strike force
into the Persian Gulf.
419
00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:24,953
- Yes, he is.
- And you're okay with that?
420
00:25:24,981 --> 00:25:28,735
- What suggests I'm okay with this?
- Tell him to fucking stop it!
421
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:30,862
What do you think I've been doing
for three years?
422
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:33,323
Telling Nicol Trowbridge
to fucking stop it!
423
00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:38,745
I begged you to have Rayburn intervene.
424
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:40,205
You... When?
425
00:25:40,288 --> 00:25:42,457
Yesterday. And today.
426
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:44,084
You didn't.
427
00:25:44,167 --> 00:25:48,546
Uh, "If the president could share
his perspective, his wisdom
428
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:51,508
- with the PM, perhaps..."
- That's what begging looks like to you?
429
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:55,220
- I didn't drop to my knees.
- If the house is on fire, tell me.
430
00:25:55,303 --> 00:25:57,597
The house is on fire!
431
00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:09,776
You know, Iran is the best thing
that ever happened to Nicol Trowbridge.
432
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:13,238
- Iran didn't happen to him.
- Does that matter?
433
00:26:13,321 --> 00:26:14,406
Did you tell him?
434
00:26:14,489 --> 00:26:17,242
About your husband's tale?
Of course I did.
435
00:26:17,325 --> 00:26:20,870
If you call it a tale,
it kind of undermines the intelligence.
436
00:26:20,954 --> 00:26:23,707
He believes
Mr. Wyler provided interesting evidence,
437
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:26,918
but not incontrovertible
and nowhere near actionable.
438
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:28,878
We have to stop trying
to prove a negative.
439
00:26:28,962 --> 00:26:31,339
We need to figure out who it was,
not who it wasn't.
440
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:32,423
What an insight.
441
00:26:32,465 --> 00:26:36,886
I mean, really like a bolt
from the heavens.
442
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,264
You're kind of an asshole.
443
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:43,059
Something about your charmingly foul mouth
444
00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:46,604
makes me feel like
you appreciate the unvarnished.
445
00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:50,525
Are you saying that you like me?
446
00:26:52,527 --> 00:26:55,030
I'm saying that I would like to trust you.
447
00:26:58,658 --> 00:27:01,161
I thought I could manage this,
but I can't.
448
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,880
What?
449
00:27:13,923 --> 00:27:16,968
I drank the Kool-Aid,
like a fucking child.
450
00:27:20,513 --> 00:27:21,348
The husband.
451
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:22,431
Ah.
452
00:27:23,016 --> 00:27:24,016
Was it bullshit?
453
00:27:24,059 --> 00:27:26,603
No. It was incomplete.
454
00:27:26,686 --> 00:27:28,271
And she tried to warn me.
455
00:27:28,897 --> 00:27:32,984
- Well, look, even you can make mis...
- No, this is not a small mistake.
456
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:39,199
By the way,
I asked you to come to Cairo...
457
00:27:39,949 --> 00:27:41,534
It's a terrible idea.
458
00:27:41,618 --> 00:27:44,537
Being a tandem couple
has fucked both of them.
459
00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:45,621
But mostly her.
460
00:27:46,247 --> 00:27:48,083
- Well, how?
- He lies to her,
461
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:50,377
regularly enough that she expects it.
462
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:51,795
It's fucked her career.
463
00:27:51,878 --> 00:27:54,381
Well, I think her career's going okay.
464
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:56,633
She doesn't wanna be here.
465
00:27:57,592 --> 00:27:59,803
Why is she here? She's frontline material.
466
00:28:01,596 --> 00:28:03,056
Yeah. Exactly.
467
00:28:03,681 --> 00:28:06,101
Ma'am? Could you join the ambassador?
468
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,352
Of course.
469
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,605
No concrete intel on Riyadh...
470
00:28:19,614 --> 00:28:21,294
We can't afford to piss them off,
471
00:28:21,324 --> 00:28:24,619
but at this point, there isn't
a credible threat to our interests.
472
00:28:25,328 --> 00:28:27,956
In the meantime, what's
the secretary of defense saying?
473
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:30,250
I asked. Says it's time-sensitive.
474
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:33,420
Find me when NSA weighs in.
475
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:37,465
We have to come to some agreement
with the Saudis not to make this worse.
476
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,053
Were you able to get the report?
Keel report.
477
00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:44,973
- Still working on it.
- Can we...? For a minute?
478
00:28:58,361 --> 00:29:00,363
Rayburn can't send ships to the Gulf.
479
00:29:00,447 --> 00:29:02,699
Trowbridge played him.
He lied to his face.
480
00:29:02,782 --> 00:29:05,702
He wants the visual
of American warships buzzing Iran.
481
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:09,330
- The aircraft carrier is not sinking.
- How do you know that?
482
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:13,710
I'd know for sure if I had a keel report,
but I have it on very good authority.
483
00:29:13,793 --> 00:29:15,044
Shit.
484
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:19,299
We're getting flares from the Brits.
They can't shut Trowbridge down.
485
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:23,261
The president needs to say
our ships can't get there in time to help.
486
00:29:23,344 --> 00:29:25,013
He won't renege on a rescue mission.
487
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:28,266
This is a distress call
coming from a senior government official.
488
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,434
Named what?
489
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,020
We can't do anything.
490
00:29:32,103 --> 00:29:36,816
When we had a dangerous head of state,
we relied on our allies to respond
491
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,818
when we made distress calls.
492
00:29:43,281 --> 00:29:45,116
You know why I didn't want this job?
493
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,369
I spent a decade
building a reputation in a community
494
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:52,791
such that when I say something,
people fucking listen to me.
495
00:29:52,874 --> 00:29:55,210
- I have none of that here.
- Not none.
496
00:29:57,921 --> 00:29:59,088
Not none.
497
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:08,640
The prime minister is setting the stage
for an attack on American hardware
498
00:30:08,723 --> 00:30:09,933
and American troops.
499
00:30:10,016 --> 00:30:12,769
He wants this to be our problem
as much as his.
500
00:30:13,728 --> 00:30:15,563
We need to talk to that source.
501
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:16,689
- Shahin?
- If we have to.
502
00:30:16,773 --> 00:30:18,191
- You talked to...?
- Yeah.
503
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:20,151
You wanna go back to Shahin?
504
00:30:20,235 --> 00:30:23,255
If you think the president should renege,
we need more to bring to the Brits.
505
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,448
You can't. It's too dangerous.
506
00:30:25,532 --> 00:30:27,283
That's a Birnam Oak.
507
00:30:29,077 --> 00:30:30,119
From Shakespeare.
508
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:31,746
Go take a look.
509
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:32,830
We will.
510
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,417
It's Iran's backyard.
511
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,336
If we wanna know who did this,
512
00:30:38,419 --> 00:30:40,421
they'll have better intelligence
than anyone.
513
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:43,383
Shahin's own regime will go after him.
He will be killed.
514
00:30:43,466 --> 00:30:47,053
If we go to war with Iran,
a lot of people will be killed.
515
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,931
Shahin wants to modernize his country.
516
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:52,058
He's one of the only people in the regime
517
00:30:52,141 --> 00:30:55,395
who gets along with the reformists
and the military and the mullahs,
518
00:30:55,478 --> 00:30:59,065
because his father rode bikes
with the supreme leader when they were 10.
519
00:30:59,148 --> 00:31:01,985
And inexplicably, he doesn't believe
we're the great Satan.
520
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:04,404
- I understand he's valuable.
- You don't.
521
00:31:05,071 --> 00:31:06,865
An Iran Deal can be revoked.
522
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:07,948
Clearly.
523
00:31:08,324 --> 00:31:12,287
What we're really doing when we
negotiate with them, or with anyone,
524
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:17,041
is looking for one or two friends we can
call when the world is truly fucked.
525
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:21,004
It is a flimsy web of relationships.
526
00:31:21,087 --> 00:31:22,463
But sometimes it holds.
527
00:31:23,047 --> 00:31:24,424
Do not tear it.
528
00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:28,261
Do not be an infinitely ravenous American.
529
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:30,179
Use what he already gave you.
530
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:34,224
Danny?
531
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:38,646
Get me Stuart Hayford.
Can we get the president out of the woods?
532
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:43,151
- Tell Langley to go at it another way.
- Okay.
533
00:31:45,820 --> 00:31:46,946
I need a drink.
534
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:18,937
- That was moving.
- What?
535
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:20,646
A spiderweb.
536
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:24,943
You gotta have a couple of those in
your pocket when things get existential.
537
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:26,026
Yeah.
538
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:28,696
We're waiting for someone.
539
00:32:35,203 --> 00:32:37,455
- We doing this?
- Maybe.
540
00:32:40,833 --> 00:32:42,669
I sent you here to be with him.
541
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:46,339
For a lot of reasons,
but he's checking you out.
542
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,510
That's creepy.
543
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:55,431
Five U.S. presidents were
formerly ambassadors to this country.
544
00:32:55,515 --> 00:32:59,310
It's the right place to learn.
You'd melt on a campaign trail.
545
00:32:59,394 --> 00:33:02,063
You'd call your donors corrupt
to their faces.
546
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:04,732
But there's no campaign.
547
00:33:05,942 --> 00:33:08,945
Imagine if your... frankness
548
00:33:09,612 --> 00:33:11,280
were actually a plus,
549
00:33:11,364 --> 00:33:15,493
if your only goal was to keep
the president relentlessly on track.
550
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:18,416
The president needs someone to stop him
551
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:19,854
from rambling about chicken tariffs
552
00:33:19,914 --> 00:33:21,541
when he needs an arms deal.
553
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:25,753
The VP spends more time in the Oval
than anyone who doesn't have a desk there.
554
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:29,632
- First in, last out of every meeting.
- Guys...
555
00:33:30,425 --> 00:33:33,344
- You wanna know why you're on the list?
- Uh, I have a uterus.
556
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:35,388
That's not... Not the only reason.
557
00:33:35,471 --> 00:33:37,807
You spent seven years building a ticket
558
00:33:37,890 --> 00:33:41,227
where an elderly guy could
hand the baton to an electable woman
559
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:44,439
and deliver us the first female president.
560
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:49,152
Now you want someone with
no voting record, no baggage, no opinions.
561
00:33:49,902 --> 00:33:52,572
Clean me up, put me in a dress,
and hope I never speak.
562
00:33:53,281 --> 00:33:54,449
Yeah. I had a plan.
563
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:56,659
Turned to shit.
564
00:33:56,743 --> 00:34:01,080
But as far as rebounds go,
you don't have to survive a campaign.
565
00:34:01,164 --> 00:34:04,250
We air-drop you in to govern,
maybe you catch fire.
566
00:34:04,333 --> 00:34:06,002
She thinks you'd be good at the job.
567
00:34:06,085 --> 00:34:09,964
I called nine people and said,
"If it looks like the apocalypse is now,
568
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:11,424
who's your first hire?"
569
00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:13,259
Five said you.
570
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:15,970
What you did in Lebanon.
571
00:34:16,971 --> 00:34:19,807
What I'm not supposed to know
you did in Baghdad.
572
00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:23,603
Makes a great poster.
"Iraq. Could have been worse."
573
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:26,522
No campaign. No posters.
574
00:34:27,648 --> 00:34:30,151
We'd put you in the lead
on foreign policy.
575
00:34:30,234 --> 00:34:33,446
You get the Middle East. You can deal
with Russia without freaking out.
576
00:34:33,529 --> 00:34:34,864
You know cobalt is the only thing
577
00:34:34,947 --> 00:34:37,217
we're really gonna be talking about
for the next 25 years.
578
00:34:37,241 --> 00:34:39,452
You'd be doing it for the country,
not the power.
579
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:41,135
If I'd thought about it,
580
00:34:41,162 --> 00:34:42,722
- I'd have planned it this way.
- Mm-hm.
581
00:34:43,831 --> 00:34:47,710
Really. It's almost embarrassing.
Never even occurred to me.
582
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:49,962
Pick someone good at the job,
not the interview?
583
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:54,717
I mean, it's bad for the guys,
but for the women? Fuck me.
584
00:34:54,801 --> 00:34:58,679
Is she pretty but not too pretty?
Appealing but not hot?
585
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,683
Confident but not bitchy?
Decisive but not bitchy?
586
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,727
Cute bitchy, but not "bitchy" bitchy.
587
00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:09,139
We had to come to an agreement
588
00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:11,400
about how many days a week
the VP would wear a thong.
589
00:35:11,484 --> 00:35:14,821
She doesn't like them.
Her team doesn't like panty lines.
590
00:35:15,988 --> 00:35:17,698
Weeks of my life.
591
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:20,952
And then an agreement.
Yes, she will wear ass-floss,
592
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:24,664
but only two days out of seven,
and days cannot be banked week to week.
593
00:35:26,666 --> 00:35:29,085
Can you imagine hiring someone
for a key governing position
594
00:35:29,168 --> 00:35:30,888
just because you think
they'd be good at it?
595
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:40,054
Don't say anything.
She's actually thinking about it.
596
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:41,430
- Are you?
- Shh.
597
00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:44,099
Are you?
598
00:35:48,062 --> 00:35:49,063
That's progress.
599
00:35:53,693 --> 00:35:57,155
Give it time. When Hal and I first spoke,
it sounded ridiculous,
600
00:35:57,238 --> 00:36:00,533
but a month later...
it seems kind of brilliant.
601
00:36:03,452 --> 00:36:06,289
Ma'am, he's asking for you.
602
00:36:17,216 --> 00:36:18,216
A month?
603
00:36:20,386 --> 00:36:21,512
Listen... Let...
604
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:23,764
Let me just tell you how...
605
00:36:28,811 --> 00:36:31,022
Kate. Kate.
606
00:36:35,776 --> 00:36:37,403
Kate. Katie.
607
00:36:38,279 --> 00:36:39,322
Kate, stop.
608
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:40,698
I'm going for a walk.
609
00:36:40,781 --> 00:36:42,867
- Can I come?
- I don't think that's a good idea.
610
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:46,996
- When Billie called me...
- She called you a month ago.
611
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:50,416
Yeah, and at that point,
it was talk, that's all.
612
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:52,919
She wanted advice, the Grace Penn thing...
613
00:36:53,002 --> 00:36:54,545
- The vice president.
- Yeah.
614
00:36:54,629 --> 00:36:56,964
You should call her the vice president.
615
00:36:57,048 --> 00:36:59,592
The issue with the vice president
and her husband,
616
00:36:59,675 --> 00:37:04,055
and the $6 million NIH grant
that went missing had just surfaced.
617
00:37:04,138 --> 00:37:05,806
So Billie called you.
618
00:37:05,890 --> 00:37:09,435
Uh, yeah. As a friend of the...
Friend of the court.
619
00:37:09,518 --> 00:37:11,479
At that point, she wanted the VP to stay.
620
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:13,522
She was just trying out ideas
for damage control.
621
00:37:13,606 --> 00:37:18,778
So the notion that the vice president
might be replaced didn't come up.
622
00:37:18,861 --> 00:37:20,863
We tossed around a couple names.
623
00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:21,989
Including mine?
624
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:25,409
- Who else, your mom?
- There aren't a lot of names, Katie.
625
00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:28,079
I mean, they need a woman.
They need someone clean.
626
00:37:28,829 --> 00:37:32,166
Abby Shotkin's too old.
Stella can't keep her mouth shut.
627
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:35,711
He promised the first lady
he wouldn't pick Rachel Beer,
628
00:37:35,795 --> 00:37:37,395
'cause he fucked Rachel Beer in college,
629
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:40,591
and he told his wife she wasn't the best
lay of his life, Rachel Beer was.
630
00:37:40,675 --> 00:37:43,177
And if he picks Laurie Davis,
we lose the House.
631
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:46,180
Okay, so at that point, someone says...
632
00:37:47,014 --> 00:37:48,014
You.
633
00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:49,432
Who says me?
634
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:54,438
Uh, me, Billie, I can't remember.
It wasn't a plan. We were spitballing.
635
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:57,233
You were on your way to Kabul.
You weren't ready for prime time.
636
00:37:57,316 --> 00:37:58,818
It wasn't realistic.
637
00:37:58,901 --> 00:38:00,069
Definitely not.
638
00:38:00,778 --> 00:38:03,072
- But now...?
- Well, once the London thing happened,
639
00:38:03,155 --> 00:38:05,835
it was like, maybe she could spend
six months in a more public post,
640
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:09,287
get your sea legs,
get used to the spotlight, you know.
641
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:11,247
So at that point, you called Billie.
642
00:38:11,330 --> 00:38:12,957
- Billie called me.
- Like Shahin did?
643
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,961
- Katie, Billie called me.
- Was there a point at which you thought
644
00:38:17,044 --> 00:38:18,754
I should come into this conversation?
645
00:38:18,838 --> 00:38:21,299
What would you have said? I'm serious.
646
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:24,218
One month ago, on your way to Kabul,
647
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:27,638
would I have got halfway through
the sentence trying to pitch this to you?
648
00:38:29,181 --> 00:38:30,474
Fair. That is a fair point.
649
00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:34,770
- So the London thing happens.
- Yeah. And it didn't matter.
650
00:38:34,854 --> 00:38:37,189
This place is a shit show.
VP or no, it's good you're here.
651
00:38:37,273 --> 00:38:39,108
We figured, you know...
652
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:41,736
- What? What did you figure?
- Well...
653
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:46,282
Listen, I was trying
to find the right time to tell you.
654
00:38:46,365 --> 00:38:47,365
And...
655
00:38:48,743 --> 00:38:49,743
I...
656
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:51,912
I didn't find it.
657
00:38:53,622 --> 00:38:55,499
Now, two weeks ago...
658
00:38:55,583 --> 00:38:59,253
- I swear to fucking God.
- Two weeks ago you said, "Call Rick."
659
00:39:05,051 --> 00:39:06,051
Yeah.
660
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:08,471
- And I...
- You called Rick.
661
00:39:08,554 --> 00:39:10,097
- I did.
- Katherine.
662
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:14,602
You know the chessboard,
you are undaunted by complexity...
663
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,062
I called our attorney.
664
00:39:16,145 --> 00:39:20,107
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance
to get someone into the White House
665
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:23,319
with a preternatural ability
to un-fuck clusterfucks.
666
00:39:23,402 --> 00:39:25,696
I called Rick and said,
"Get us a mediator.
667
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:30,659
Because this is gonna be the cleanest,
loveliest divorce anybody ever had."
668
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:32,161
You have an orchard.
669
00:39:32,244 --> 00:39:35,122
The president of the United States
is in it.
670
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:39,293
You need to have a conversation with him.
Hear what he's thinking.
671
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:44,298
You need to, in a chill way,
get to know the guy before he leaves,
672
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,860
- which is in ten minutes.
- You didn't tell me a lot of things.
673
00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:48,761
- Katie...
- You had your reasons. It's okay.
674
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:50,930
But when you said...
675
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,767
- "Yes, we can be done..."
- Yeah.
676
00:39:54,850 --> 00:40:00,106
"...we had ten good years, we're done,"
you were crying.
677
00:40:00,189 --> 00:40:01,649
There was snot.
678
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,818
Kate, it's the vice presidency.
679
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:05,962
- You want me to think about it, right?
- Yeah, I do.
680
00:40:05,986 --> 00:40:07,405
- Can you?
- Yeah.
681
00:40:08,572 --> 00:40:09,573
- Really?
- Yeah.
682
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:13,869
- Katie...
- If you answer one question, truthfully.
683
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,288
Really truthfully.
684
00:40:16,372 --> 00:40:19,083
Sure, okay. Yeah, anything.
685
00:40:21,335 --> 00:40:25,589
When you said, "Call Rick,"
when you said, "We're done,"
686
00:40:27,216 --> 00:40:28,843
did you think we were done?
687
00:40:37,101 --> 00:40:38,101
No.
688
00:40:42,231 --> 00:40:43,399
What the fuck?
689
00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:50,114
Kate. Kate, take a breath...
690
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:52,324
Jesus!
691
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:53,993
- Fuck.
- Shit!
692
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:55,411
What the fuck? Kate!
693
00:40:55,494 --> 00:40:56,620
Jesus.
694
00:41:03,419 --> 00:41:07,173
- You are killing me!
- Huh.
695
00:41:07,256 --> 00:41:10,176
- Thoughts?
- We're not his detail. We're hers.
696
00:41:10,259 --> 00:41:12,052
Not going well for him, is it?
697
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:16,056
Kate.
698
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:20,102
- Kate, put it down.
- Shit. Stop. No!
699
00:41:20,186 --> 00:41:23,063
- Fuck! You fucking shit!
- I swear to God...
700
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,691
Fucking... Kate. Ow! Stop.
701
00:41:26,609 --> 00:41:27,902
Okay. Okay.
702
00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:38,913
- This marriage is...
- Jesus! Kate, stop!
703
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:40,247
...killing me!
704
00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:43,667
- You are killing me!
- Yeah, I'm trying, it's not working.
705
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:45,753
- Fucking shit!
- Ma'am?
706
00:41:47,796 --> 00:41:50,156
The chief of staff
would like you to speak to the president.
707
00:41:57,848 --> 00:42:00,809
- What the fuck happened?
- I tripped. Where's the president?
708
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:03,062
- Forget it.
- She can change.
709
00:42:03,687 --> 00:42:04,688
Her clothes.
710
00:42:04,772 --> 00:42:07,125
President's not budging on the ships.
It's a rescue mission.
711
00:42:07,149 --> 00:42:09,276
I thought maybe you could turn him around,
712
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,070
- but this isn't gonna...
- No.
713
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:13,781
- This is perfect.
- Kate.
714
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:22,706
Okay.
715
00:42:25,167 --> 00:42:26,627
Is she gonna be okay?
716
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,920
I don't know.
717
00:42:46,146 --> 00:42:48,107
They could've rerouted to Diego Garcia.
718
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:51,610
Everybody wants to know why I didn't
warn them we were going after the tanker.
719
00:42:53,445 --> 00:42:54,446
Give me a minute.
720
00:43:03,122 --> 00:43:06,083
Marla Dane has a lot of experience.
721
00:43:06,166 --> 00:43:09,878
She took a year off to take care
of her dying mother who is now dead.
722
00:43:09,962 --> 00:43:11,672
- So...
- She's available.
723
00:43:11,755 --> 00:43:14,550
She can be ambassador.
She will love this...
724
00:43:15,634 --> 00:43:17,678
whatever this is on the walls.
725
00:43:18,721 --> 00:43:21,015
And she's the one you want
for the other thing too.
726
00:43:21,098 --> 00:43:22,141
Where are you going?
727
00:43:22,975 --> 00:43:25,603
I am not cut out for this.
728
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:27,313
I'm stepping down.
729
00:43:27,396 --> 00:43:31,358
Good news is,
that makes me the one person in the world
730
00:43:31,442 --> 00:43:36,905
who isn't trying to kiss your ass,
but still knows a lot about Iran.
731
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:45,789
A man named Saman Karimi
732
00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:49,126
was removed from the command
of a Quds Force unit in Syria
733
00:43:49,209 --> 00:43:52,588
when even Bashar al-Assad said
he was a guy who took things too far.
734
00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:55,966
- But you can't fire a Saman Karimi.
- No.
735
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:59,803
So they gave him command
of a Fishing Industry Safety Regiment.
736
00:43:59,887 --> 00:44:03,432
Complete with 14 boats and a lot of RPGs.
737
00:44:03,515 --> 00:44:05,559
You think
they're gonna swarm the Fifth Fleet?
738
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:08,312
I think they're gonna load an RPG
onto a fishing trawler
739
00:44:08,395 --> 00:44:10,314
and see what they can hit.
740
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:15,027
A couple of Americans die,
and then we're in it.
741
00:44:16,153 --> 00:44:17,571
Not rescuers.
742
00:44:17,655 --> 00:44:18,906
Combatants.
743
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:22,201
- I told Billie...
- You told her Russia's watching?
744
00:44:22,284 --> 00:44:24,453
That everyone's watching?
That it's a litmus test?
745
00:44:24,536 --> 00:44:25,579
Because it is.
746
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:26,705
Of course it is.
747
00:44:26,789 --> 00:44:30,709
The minute Russia savaged Ukraine,
every NATO state's been waiting to see
748
00:44:30,793 --> 00:44:34,630
if I meant it when I said,
"An attack on one is an attack on all."
749
00:44:34,713 --> 00:44:36,048
One just got attacked.
750
00:44:36,131 --> 00:44:38,425
This is not the straw
that will break the alliance.
751
00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:41,428
Why not? An alliance is nothing.
752
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:45,432
It's a pinkie promise like I made
with Jason Slavick when I was 10.
753
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:47,810
- "You get hit, I show up."
- You're here.
754
00:44:48,602 --> 00:44:50,604
In this case,
I show up with a carrier group.
755
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:52,189
Or judgment.
756
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:58,570
Fifty thousand British soldiers marched
on Baghdad because we asked them to.
757
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:00,280
And we chased that with an era
758
00:45:00,364 --> 00:45:02,950
defined by a profound lack of interest
in anybody but ourselves.
759
00:45:03,033 --> 00:45:07,621
Sir, you're not doing this
to restore our reputation in the world.
760
00:45:09,081 --> 00:45:11,500
This ought to be good. Why am I doing it?
761
00:45:11,583 --> 00:45:14,545
You're scared your enemies think
you're too old and frail
762
00:45:14,628 --> 00:45:16,505
to put Americans in the line of fire.
763
00:45:19,049 --> 00:45:20,426
Do people like you?
764
00:45:21,927 --> 00:45:23,512
You're right to worry about it.
765
00:45:24,054 --> 00:45:30,185
That smug Brazilian guy who kept offering
you pee breaks every 15 minutes at the G20
766
00:45:30,269 --> 00:45:35,190
revived all the rumors about incontinence
your team spent six months trying to kill.
767
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:39,236
And it's not nothing, particularly when
you're dealing with Russia and China.
768
00:45:39,319 --> 00:45:42,614
Any leader who looks at you
and sees his own age,
769
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,409
it makes them wanna crush you.
770
00:45:45,993 --> 00:45:48,912
But that is like 49 percent disastrous.
771
00:45:48,996 --> 00:45:52,166
And potential for war with Iran is 51.
772
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,501
Which means I win by two.
773
00:45:57,754 --> 00:45:59,256
A wise man once said,
774
00:46:00,048 --> 00:46:04,303
"Decisions don't get to the desk
of the president unless they're 49-51.
775
00:46:04,386 --> 00:46:09,099
I spend my days splitting hairs,
but that's the job I raised my hand for."
776
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:11,059
I said that.
777
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:12,143
Did you?
778
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,607
I thought you were the only one
in the world who wasn't kissing my ass.
779
00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:20,276
Billie.
780
00:46:23,655 --> 00:46:26,426
- President would like the chief of staff.
- I'm here. His voice carries.
781
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:29,453
- How are we doing?
- No ships. Bring the car around.
782
00:46:29,536 --> 00:46:30,913
We're wheels up in two.
783
00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:34,041
- Give me more on "no ships."
- She wins, I lose.
784
00:46:34,124 --> 00:46:36,877
And someone should wash her.
She looks ridiculous.
785
00:46:37,794 --> 00:46:39,171
Find the secretary of defense.
786
00:46:39,254 --> 00:46:40,756
Tell him no ships go to the Gulf.
787
00:46:40,839 --> 00:46:44,051
Make sure he doesn't fly back with me.
He's gonna be a real turd about this.
788
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:47,054
I need a car for the secretary of defense
going back to Heathrow.
789
00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:53,936
This one tried to quit.
790
00:46:54,436 --> 00:46:55,896
Tell her to sack up.
791
00:46:59,733 --> 00:47:00,943
Hey.
792
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:08,825
Call me on Tuesday.
We'll talk about the other thing.
793
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:11,411
Ma'am, I'm sorry, it's not gonna work out.
794
00:47:11,495 --> 00:47:12,329
What?
795
00:47:12,412 --> 00:47:14,456
I have to say no.
796
00:47:14,540 --> 00:47:15,540
Yeah. I know.
797
00:47:17,167 --> 00:47:18,327
You're doing great.
798
00:47:18,377 --> 00:47:22,256
Just knock off that "I resign" shit.
It really pisses me off.
799
00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:25,092
I don't have that kind of time.
