Hey.
Hey.

Your dad nailed me
for being late.

Who cares?
Did you finish it?

All right.

(typing)



(speaking Arabic)

(men laughing)

(monitor: people
chattering, chanting)

(laughing)

So where we
going to post it?

Where else?

Oh, shit.
The recruiting Web site?

I found a way onto it
last night.

Word of advice,
retards.

Before you declare yourself
the Cyber Caliphate,

change your
system password.

(speaking Arabic)

(both laughing)

(taps key, audio stops)
Our work here is done.

(alarm beeping)

What's that?

I don't know.

WOMAN: Who is that?
“Gabe could”?

“Gabe H. Coud.”

Ifs “douche bag”
backward.

So not a jihadi then.
(chuckles)

Not the handle
I'd choose.

- Ping him.
- Ping him.

No way.

Ask him who he is. We do
that and we lose our cover.

Dude, they are poking
around like we are.

They're not supposed to
be here either.

Doesn't mean
they're our friend.

(beeping)

- What?
- He's pinging us.

(beeping continues)
Wait. No.

Let me see
who it is first.

The IP address
is non-attributable.

So?

So it's probably
government.

We don't want to be
showing them anything.

What's he doing?

Nothing. Hanging
outside the firewall.

Can you tell who he is?
No.

- Can you tell where he is?
- That's the point of their proxies.

He doesn't want us to know.

But if you care about that Web site,
you're probably here in Germany.

(beeping)
Hold on a second.

He's trying to get in.

There's a zero-day defect
on this firewall.

We can get through
brute force.

Just need...

computing power.

No, you can't.
My dad will kill me.

Dude, I said no.

Hey, I said no!
Hey, I said no, man!

(beeping)

What? What is it?
He's attacking us.

Who is?
Douche Bag?

What the fuck?
What?

He's in. Shut it down.
Shut it down. Shut it down!

(people chattering) MAN: Red flag!
Red flag!

Holy shit. It's the CIA.

I know.

It's down.

(snickers)

All right, sweetie.

You ready for school? Look, look.
All your friends are here.

See Ilsa

and JJ
and Fraulein Schnee?

And they're gonna be
so excited to see you.

Cause it's your birthday!

What do we say?

We say, “Auf Wiedersehen,”

which means
“Till we see each other again."

Which will be really soon, at your party.
I love you.

Mwah.

Who’s that?

What is that?
(laughing)

(bell dings)

Morning, Erna.

He's with
the Lebanese ambassador.

Oh.

Oh, here she is.

Ambassador, I'd like you to meet my
head of security, Carrie Mathison.

Came, Ambassador Jam“.

Hello, sir. We weren't
expecting you until next week.

There's been a change of plans.
I'll tell you all about it.

- Otto, keep in touch.
- I will.

Jonas. I wish
you were my lawyer.

- Can't have him.
- Thank you both.

(chattering)

We are going to Lebanon.

Okay.

I told the ambassador
we could leave in three days.

You want to tell me
what I just missed here?

ISIS is regrouping in Raqqa for a new
offensive against the Syrian regime.

I know. We talked about it. But it's not
playing out the way anyone thought.

There is a mass exodus
of civilians under way.

A refugee crisis
is developing at the border.

I want us to visit a camp there.
In Lebanon.

Us.

Yeah. You, me,
some additional security.

Additional security is what we
take to conferences in Geneva.

This is a war zone.

We're really
not equipped.

Well, we have three days.

(chattering, faint)

You're on.

There.

This is Peter Quinn.

He's been
on the ground in Syria

for the past two years.

ADAL: We're all eager to hear
about your experience there.

(softly) Just got back from
the al-Raqqah province

in the oil-producing
regions north-

Could you speak up?

Please?
It's a big table.

(louder)
AI-Raqqah.

It's where I've been
for the past few months.

Our approach
has remained constant.

US air strikes
prepare targets

for surgical intervention
by Special Forces,

initially against Assad,
then al-Nusra,

and most recently
against the Islamic State.

I've been heading up
a team of special ops

more or less continuously
for the past 28 months.

We've been busy.

MAN:
Doing what?

What the hell is actually
going on over there?

Well, if you've read the
after-action reports- I have.

Every one of them. A handful of enemy
dead here. Another handful there.

I honestly have no idea
what it all adds up to.

The program
has been effective, sir.

I believe
it should be continued.

You do?

Assad is still in power.
ISIL is still growing.

Are we really getting
anywhere in Syria?

I just said yes.

You said a program
should be renewed.

I'm asking,
is our strategy working?

What strategy?

Tell me what the strategy is,
I'll tell you if its working.

See, that right there
is the problem.

Because they-
they have a strategy.

They're gathering right now in
Raqqa by the tens of thousands,

hidden in the civilian population,
cleaning their weapons.

And they know exactly why they' re there.
MAN: Why is that?

They call it the end times. What do
you think the beheadings are about?

The crucifixions in Deir Hafer.
The revival of slavery.

You think
they make this shit up?

It's all in the book. Their fucking book.
The only book they ever read.

They read it all the time.
They never stop.

They're there for one reason
and one reason only-

to die for the caliphate

and usher in a world
without infidels.

That's their strategy,

and it's been that way
since the seventh century.

So do you really think that
a few Special Forces teams

are gonna put
a dent in that?

- Well, what would you do?
- You offering me a promotion?

I'm offering you
a hypothetical.

200,000 American troops
on the ground indefinitely

to provide
security and support

for an equal number of doctors
and elementary school teachers.

Well, that's not going to happen.

Then I'd better get back there.

What else? What else
would make a difference?

Hit reset.

- Meaning what?
- Meaning pound Raqqa into a parking lot.

Let's take 20.

You told me
you prepped him.

I did.
He went off-book.

Well,
you didn't stop him.

We're sitting in a bunker
here, talking to ourselves.

Good for everyone to hear the truth.
Oh, that.

Don't worry
about our funding.

I got assurances
from Crocker

State Department's
not gonna interfere.

I'm not worried about the funding.
I'm worried about Quinn.

Two years in the shit, Dar.

What do you expect?

♪ (text tone)

(sighs)
♪ (text tone)

Shit.

We've had a data breach.

In Berlin.

(chattering)

Another doggy.
Two doggies.

(imitates growling)

lt's a dachshund.

A hot dog.
We call them hot dogs.

Give me a kiss.

(chuckles)

Well, your balloon lady's
a hit.

Yeah, I see.

- With the kids.
- Oh.

During asked me
to check in with you.

About the trip to Lebanon.
Any more thoughts?

The same thought-
don't go.

He's going.

I took the job at the
Foundation for a reason,

and it was not to be worrying about
security in places like Lebanon.

This is a departure.
He understands.

If he really understood,
we wouldn't be going.

(door buzzing)
I'll get it.

Hey.

Sorry. Didn't know
you had company.

We missed you at work today.
Big stuff happening.

Yeah, I heard. But actually
I've been kind of preoccupied.

I've had
a pretty amazing day.

Sorry for barging in.
I just need to-

Can we talk outside?
Sure.

I got an e-mail today
from a hacker.

I'm pretty sure it was anyway.
It was encrypted.

It turned out to be a top secret
document taken from the CIA.

Wait. What?

It describes a completely
illegal arrangement

between German
and American intelligence.

Germany's doing an end run
around its privacy laws

by having the US
do the spying for them.

That's what the doc says.

How do you know it's real? I don't. That's
why I'm here. I need you to verify it.

I got the impression there's
lots more where this came from,

that it's a test
to see what I do with it.

Well, I can't verify it.
Not 100%, I know-

I can't even look at it. It would
violate my agreement with the Agency.

Do you have any idea
how ridiculous that sounds?

I don't care how it sounds.

It's how I get to keep
my security clearance.

Does During know
that you've got this?

He told me to come here so you
could vet it before I publish.

You can't publish.

At least not until there's been some
discussion of the damage you might do.

What about the damage they do, these security
agencies with their illegal bullshit?

What about that?

Oh. You can take the girl
out of the CIA, but- You know.

Gute Nacht.

Mmm.

So, do you
forgive me?

For letting a vampire
into our house?

That was real brave of you, running
off into the next room, by the way.

- I didn't run.
- Maybe not a full sprint.

(chuckles)

Today started out
so well.

It's like my old life
came back.

Everything I moved here
to get away from.

So don't let it.

I don't want to be
in that world.

I want to be here
with you and Frannie.

Did you hear me?

I saw your mouth move. You don't
have to vet secret documents.

You don't have to
go to Lebanon.

You don't have to do any of that, Carrie.
Not if you don't want to.

Really?

(door lock buzzes)

She'll see you now.

Carrie.

Hi.

Hi.

I was wondering when we
might run into each other.

I know. I know.

I should've called sooner.
No, I get it.

Life's complicated.

Hey, congratulations.

I know you really
wanted Berlin.

After what we went through in
Baghdad, can you blame me?

Yeah, but I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.

So, your e-mail
said you're off to Syria.

Um, Lebanon, actually.
The border.

Otto DiJring's decided to visit General
Alladia Camp. We leave in a couple days.

You think
that's a good idea,

marching a billionaire
into a war zone?

No. He's going anyway.

So what do you
want from me?

Advice, to start.

Well, it's no secret all hell's
breaking loose down there.

I've heard all kinds of numbers. Just
how many militias are we talking about?

Over a thousand.

Twelve of them significant,
including the Islamic State.

What about Hezbollah? ls Abdulla still
coordinating security at the border?

Come on, Carrie.

What?

It's classified.

You know I can't share
that kind of intel with you.

Allison, look,
I know that this is wrong,

showing up here for the first
time, asking for help.

It's fine, really.

When I left the Agency, I thought
it was best to make a clean break,

not be one of these people who doesn't seem to
understand that when you're out, you're out.

Okay.

Then maybe you can tell me what's going
on at the Foundation these days.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Who's During been meeting with?
What's on the agenda over there?

You're serious?
You bet I'm serious.

We've been burned by that
place more than once.

Allison, I-

ls it true he's planning to identify
our transit sites in Poland?

I don't know
anything about that.

You sure?
I'm sure.

Then I can't help you.

I'm sorry.

You let me know
if anything changes.

That's it?

My assistant told you it would
have to be quick. Yeah, but I-

Saul's due here
any minute, Carrie.

A surprise visit.

I-I should've canceled this, but
I really did want to see you.

I-I know you two
aren't exactly talking.

So you might want to head out the back way.
There's a stairwell.

(door closes)

Saul.

I was just meeting with
Allison about a trip.

Fine. I get it.
You're still mad at me.

If I were mad at you, you wouldn't
have your security clearance.

Wouldn't have a job.

I didn't tank your bid
for the directorship, Saul.

Yeah, you did.
But you know what?

It's not even
about that anymore.

Yeah?

Needed to leave the CIA?
Fine.

Just don't go over
to the other side.

The Foundation
is not the other side.

During's family made a
fortune in World War ll

working prisoners to death
in their steel mills.

So, yeah, maybe he's
got some karmic dues to pay.

You?
What are you atoning for?

Keeping America safe?

I'm not atoning.

You turned your back
on your entire life.

I'm just trying to do good work.
Well, you're not.

You're being naive
and stupid.

Something
you never were before.

So your advice is do nothing.

My advice is postpone.

Or send someone
who's less of a target.

But our security consultants
say ifs doable.

Then, by all means,
have them take the lead.

You think that, with all my contacts,
I can make this safe, but I can't.

No one can.

I paid a visit to
the Berlin station chief today.

She's an old friend
who knows the Middle East.

She had my back in Baghdad
more than once.

Her strong advice was
don't go.

And you just, what?
Nodded your head?

If anyone gets in trouble,
there will be zero help.

Oh, well, then I agree. Let's not go.
Let's not publish.

Let's not do anything,
if that's what the CIA says.

You know,
this is really getting old-

the CIA saying I'm a traitor, you
saying I'm still working for the CIA.

Please. You spent the last
10 years killing people.

It's not enough just to stop.
You need to do something.

Maybe because of how
I spent the last 10 years,

I know that what you're doing
will get good people hurt.

Saul Berenson arrived at Berlin
Station just as I was leaving.

You receive a stolen CIA document
from a hacker, you said,

and one day later the European division
chief leaves Washington to come here.

Does that sound
at all serious to you?

Yeah, it does,

because if he's here,
that means the document's real.

So thanks for vetting it after all.
I'm publishing today.

Carrie, we are all
after the same thing here.

Really?
Yeah.

I didn't tell you why
I need to go to Lebanon.

Maybe it will
make a difference.

The refugees
flooding into the camps,

they will be without food and
medicine by the end of the week.

The governments can't
react in time, or won't.

So the ambassador came to me.

I'm going to write a check.

And then I'm going to ask six other
people of means to write a check.

And they will, but only
if I was there in person.

So it has to be me.
It has to be now.

The question is not if it's safe
or unsafe or monumentally stupid.

Only, is it possible?

SAUL:
So this is the damage.

1,361 files?

Pending final verification
of the logs,

and assuming
the last copy operation completed.

Want to tell me
how our classified network

got within a thousand miles
of the goddamn Internet?

When we migrated our secure servers
downstairs during the remodel,

some cabling apparently
got left behind.

Apparently.

Thank you, Mills.

(door closes)

Please tell me
I'm wrong,

but it looks like they got
all the documentation

on our surveillance program
with the Germans.

You’re not wrong. Someone
know about the program?

Target it?
No.

It really just
seems to be bad luck.

The documents haven't been posted
anywhere, as far as we know.

So our initial thinking was, maybe
it's another intelligence service.

Russians, Iranians, French.
We could deal with that.

But we went back to
the recruiting Web site

where we first
encountered the intruder.

He'd just posted this.

(man speaking Arabic)

Could be Anonymous,
some other hacktivist.

The city's
lousy with them.

Whoever it is, I think it's unrealistic
to expect that this stays secret.

We have to meet
with the Germans.

It's already set.
Good.

They're going to shit.

Can I help you?

My name is Carrie Mathison. I'm
from the DiJring Foundation.

We funded the construction
of your gym.

You must come back later if you wish to
see it. The men are using it right now.

Actually, I'm here
to see the imam.

Is he expecting you? I'm
sure he'll find time for me.

Sheikh Hafiz Al Haria is a very famous
scholar. Please tell him it's urgent.

Please wait here.

(door opens)

(Sighs)
(door opens)

Sheikh Hafiz will see you.
Follow me, please.

As-salaam aiaikum.
Alaikum salaam.

Will you take
some refreshment?

Thank you. I'll have
what you're having.

Coffee.

I need your help.

We do.
The Foundation.

We're making a trip south
to General Alladia Camp.

I need to talk to al-Amin concerning
security arrangements there.

Al-Amin?

The Hezbollah commander, living
underground here in Berlin.

Hezbollah controls the camp.

I need to talk to al-Amin
about safe passage.

- I don't know him.
- Well, of course not.

Every devout Muslim
is a radical.

Is that what Otto During thinks?

No. Nor do I.

But a scholar of your standing
knows many people.

Among them, someone who can get a message
to al-Amin in an emergency such as this.

Allah.

Sheikh, please.

Will you pass on
my message?

A penetration
of your secure network.

Vulnerability's
been patched.

SAUL: System's been
tested and found secure.

But classified material
was accessed and removed.

And how does this
concern us?

A number of the documents contained
details of our working relationship.

The surveillance.
That's right.

Which details?

Pretty much
all of them.

The documents at this point have not surfaced
anywhere. They're still in effect secret.

Obviously we're doing everything
possible to make sure it stays that way.

Everything except safeguarding
them in the first place.

SAUL:
No doubt, we screwed up.

But we all need to remember, this program
was a response to a bona fide issue-

jihadis finding safe harbor in Europe
while your hands are tied by German law.

That problem's
not going away.

In fact, with events
in Syria right now,

it's intensified.

So what are you suggesting?

I think we should continue our
surveillance on your behalf.

Continue identifying these
bastards for prosecution,

but with a contingency plan, in case
any of the stolen documents surface.

“In case”? We don't
know who took the data.

Quite possibly,
it will never become public.

If you really believed that,
you wouldn't be here.

You'd be hiding in your offices,
hoping it all blows over.

The operation is over.

- That's a mistake.
- No.

Trusting you was a mistake.

These people
we've been identifying,

they're a threat
to both our countries.

But honestly?
More to yours.

Hard-core jihadis
right here in Germany.

You heard him.
We're out.

Well, I can't just stand by
and do nothing.

Whatever you're planning,
don't leave any tracks.

I can't help you anymore,
not at all.

It's a fucking war, and our
enemy is not quitting.

What's wrong with them,
these new Germans?

I know. They used to
fight like hell.

You coming?

I need to take care of
something first.

You heard them
in there, right?

I'll see you
back at the office.

M' (saxophone: jazz)

Fraulein?

Ma'am, you locked
our bikes together.

Our bicycles, they're locked together.
Do you have the key?

(grunting, shouting)

(Carrie panting)

Cover your hair.

♪ (speakers:
man singing in Arabic)

(chattering)

♪♪ (continues, faint)

(lock clicking)

(groans)

Will you please take these off?
They're very tight.

Well, I'm flattered to be
considered such a threat.

I was part of the team
protecting Abu Nazir in Beirut

when you and the CIA
tried to assassinate him.

I lost two of my men.

We both
have known losses.

Don't insult me.

You hunt us,
you kill our families,

you keep us
from our homeland.

All that suffering
and nothing changes.

That's one reason I don't work
for the government anymore.

What do you want?

Your help in getting food
and medical supplies

to the people
of General Alladia Camp.

The UN is in charge of that camp.
The UN may administer it.

I don't have to be in the CIA to
know that Hezbollah is in charge.

Otto During is planning
a visit later this week.

He can't go there safely
without your invitation.

Only the council
can invite him.

Well, I'm asking you
to make that happen.

Surely you know
the camp is overrun.

Thousands of new refugees
are pouring in each day.

You are risking disease and
starvation on a massive scale.

Our strength
is our suffering,

and you provide us
with an endless supply.

We know that there
are expenses involved

in providing
additional security.

We're willing
to reimburse you.

We can wire money for that
or deliver it to you personally.

You killed my son

in Beirut.

I will fight you forever.

No, please.
Please do not do this.

I have asked you respectfully
for safe passage.

You are obliged to take my
message to the council.

(sniffs)

I see you like to use
potassium chlorate.

I know ii detonates
more reliably

than ammonium nitrate,
but...

the smell reminds me
of freshly mapped hallways.

And hospital toilets.

The visitors' changing room

at a high school
basketball game.

(beeps)

Two minutes to prepare
yourself for paradise.

(whimpers)

Well, two minutes more or less.
It's not a very good timer.

(beeps)

(door closes)

(bystanders screaming,
chattering)

“When the German people declared in the laws
passed by their elected representatives

that they are not to be spied
on by their own police,

they didn't mean their government
should use the CIA to do it.”

- Sounds fine.
- Is there a problem?

Mmm, nothing from
a legal standpoint, no.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Maybe we should take a beat before
putting it up on the Web site.

(Sighs)

She's been lobbying you,
hasn't she?

Carrie has.
What if she has?

What's wrong with waiting until we at least
understand the national security implications?

She's there with you, isn't she?

Actually, no.

Even Ed Snowden didn't just dump
everything onto the Internet.

-(tires squealing) - That's hardly the
same. This is only the one document.

(vehicle approaching)

LAURA:
Jonas?

(car door slams)
You there? Hello?

Hello-
(phone beeps)

Fuck you then.
I'm posting.

Carrie. Carrie.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

What happened?

I just-
Tell me what happened.

I just want to go inside.
(sniffles)

Okay.

How'd your work go?

He's a martyr in paradise,
and I'm stuck here.

The Germans aren't on board
for this anymore.

They won't turn
a blind eye.

We're out too.

I want to be sure
you understand.

You'll get no support.
You'll be out of the Agency.

No acknowledgment
if you're caught.

No contact from today.

You done?

All you get is that key,
your next target in the box

and operating money waiting there
when you bring back proof of death.

She recruits kids,

teenagers for training
in Syria.

Sent out after four weeks to blow
themselves up in martyrdom operations.

You decide.

Put their names in the box, I'll
take care of anyone you put there.
