Homeland (2011–…): Season 7, Episode 11 - All In - full transcript
Saul's mission is a go. The clock ticks on the Keane administration.
Previously on Homeland...
Come on, Saul.
I appreciate the visit,
but why are you really here?
Yevgeny slipped the net.
Best guess is
he made it back to Russia.
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
- So what do you need?
- Next best thing to you, Carrie?
- I need your team.
- To do what? Repatriot him?
Him or Simone Martin.
Turns out she might
be alive after all.
Unless the White House
has concocted
a truly epic web of lies,
I am the tip of the spear
of one of the most insidious
attacks ever perpetrated
on the institution
of American democracy.
You're firing your Cabinet.
Only those who caved.
You have no idea who that is.
Well, I can
damn well guess.
The president is covering up
one crime with another.
A majority
of the Cabinet concurs.
Eight Secretaries are ready
to sign a document if you are.
The Vice President is here.
You signed no document
invoking the 25th Amendment?
I have not,
on the one condition
that you immediately
walk back the firing
of Secretary Mullen
and the others.
The answer is no.
Then you leave me no choice
but to deliver a document
declaring you unfit
for the Office
of the Presidency.
So what's your plan?
At my request,
President's demanded
immediate and high-level talks
with my counterparts.
As the pretext for
an operation to grab Simone?
Delegation leaves tonight.
Is it too late for me to join?
I think I could be useful.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
He saved our lives.
Yeah.
What was his name?
Carrie, you're not yourself.
But you don't have
my condition.
I'm dealing with it.
I-I've been dealing with it
since I was 22.
She said no one at work
could know. She's bipolar.
The mood of the country,
it's not great.
Civil... war!
Madam President, please!
You have to put a stop to this!
It's only getting worse.
Is there no fucking line?
Ridiculous lies and accusations.
The White House
is in crisis mode.
I'm talking
about information warfare.
Our country
is under attack.
The time to rise up is now!
I swore an oath
to protect it.
Just think of me
as a light on the heavens,
a beacon, steering you clear
of the wrongs.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Department of Justice.
Lawyers.
_
_
_
_
They tell me you don't
get a lot of visitors.
I can see why.
I take it you're aware
of the mess in Washington.
Yeah, the mess you made.
I'd say President Keane
gets most of the credit.
We're invoking
the 25th Amendment
to remove her.
It's at the Supreme Court now.
She thinks she's got
the winning argument,
but from what I'm hearing,
she'll be gone very soon.
- So what do you want from me?
- Advice.
Because just when there's light
at the end of the tunnel,
I get some disturbing news
about your pal Saul Berenson,
who, with everything
happening in Washington,
suddenly flies off to Moscow
in the middle of the night
on an unscheduled
"diplomatic mission."
Who told you that?
A reliable source,
who also provided
a passenger manifest.
Now what do you
want me to do?
Tell me what
he's up to over there.
Why would I?
Because there's a new
administration coming,
and I'm thinking,
with everyone else in town
free as a bird,
why not you?
Carrie Mathison...
and her team from Kabul.
Saul.
And two lawyers from DOJ
who probably have no idea
what's really going on.
What is going on?
Carrie and three of her buddies
from the Middle East?
It's not a diplomatic mission.
It's a covert operation.
To do what?
How am I supposed to know?
I've been here, walking around
in circles for six months.
Well, who would know?
Whoever's running it
stateside.
The Agency.
That place is a sieve.
Saul would have
his own small group,
off-campus, hand-picked.
Who?
People he trusts.
Seconded from other agencies
or recent retirees brought back
for a last fling.
Doesn't exactly
narrow it down.
He went to Russia.
Look for Russian experts.
You'll find
there aren't that many.
- Welcome to Moscow.
- Jim.
This is your clean suite.
We can't vouch for
any other place in the hotel.
You need to talk,
do it here.
These guys are
all over everything.
Assume you're being watched.
Now for some
encouraging news.
Yevgeny's dacha.
And there they are.
Pretty much around the clock.
- What are they up to?
- In Russian? Chertov.
With occasional walks
to the village for food.
Think that presents
an opportunity.
I think we should stick
with the original plan.
Security remains light
at the dacha, at least so far.
Two guards are camped out
at the end of the driveway,
plus a third
who wanders the grounds
according to a schedule
we have yet to divine.
Almost lackadaisical.
What's the old
Soviet saying?
"We pretend to work,
you pretend to pay us"?
Who's going in?
And you're on comms?
- That's right.
- What about the locals?
Two, just like you asked.
Totally reliable.
We've used them before. They'll
meet up with you at the site.
- Questions?
- Well, I have a few.
Yevgeny sticks to Simone
like glue.
How do you intend
on breaking him off?
We have a plan for that.
And what about
her exfiltration after?
We have a plan for that, too.
Fine. One last thing.
From what I'm hearing,
the President is hanging on
by a thread in Washington.
She authorized this operation.
What happens if she falls?
Anyone have a plan for that?
Can I help you?
I hope so. Is Clint here?
Clint?
Come on. He's in back.
Clint, you have a visitor.
Hello.
Well, I'll just...
Who are you?
Janet. Bayne.
Senator Paley's assistant.
Chief of Staff,
but, yeah, I am.
In fact, a question
the Senator posed to me,
a personnel question,
is what led me here to you,
and, uh, I'll just say it.
I know you're working
with Saul Berenson.
I also know he just took
a group to Moscow--
Carrie Mathison,
among others--
supposedly to object
to operations
the Russians are running
here in the US,
but really,
they're over there to...
That's the part
I need you to fill in.
Wait.
They are there to talk about
Russian operations in the US.
- Really?
- Really.
I mean, if it's
something else...
I don't know.
Well, I'm sorry
to hear that,
because this little spy
fraternity you're involved in,
it's completely illegal,
especially if you're supporting
off-book operations in Moscow.
Clint?
Can I bring you guys something?
- Yeah, just a second, Mom!
- So, why are they there?
I will call the Attorney General
right now.
I really will.
I will call the Attorney General
and blow the whole thing up.
Fuck.
They're there, um...
They're there...
to retrieve Simone Martin.
She's alive?
_
Before we begin...
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Where's Yevgeny Gromov?
_
You promised to gather
the relevant parties.
_
- And we have.
- Then where is Yevgeny Gromov?
Yevgeny?
Gromov. You must know him.
_
He has unique knowledge
of the issues
we're here to discuss.
_
_
- He's nobody.
- I disagree.
In fact, the opposite.
We feel there's no point
in proceeding without him.
_
Fine. I will try to find him.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
The Director suggests
we adjoin until Yevgeny arrives.
Yep.
You're on.
- Well?
- "Well" what?
What I told you.
Simone, alive and well
in Russia--
I said I need time
to think about it.
We don't have time.
Fucking Keane
and her fucking Russians.
- I know.
- Worst part is, she told me.
She told me not only
that it was Russians,
but that they were using me
to get to her.
Imagine Simone Martin back here,
saying that publicly,
that everything we've been
blaming on Keane
is actually Russians.
It's not inevitable
that Simone Martin
makes it back
to the United States.
It is very much up to you.
What do you mean
it's up to me?
A few words to
the Russian ambassador...
A few words,
and Saul's mission fails.
You want me to rat out
our own guys?
No, I want you to finish
what we started
and remove a President
so despised,
her own Cabinet lined up
to get rid of her.
Were we wrong about
some facts? Apparently.
But we were not wrong
about her.
I took the liberty of telling
the Ambassador's office...
Jesus.
...you might want
a few words with him.
You know the country
will be better off.
The country?
Okay. You and me, too.
What's wrong with that?
He's waiting, Senator.
Senator...
Fuck it.
Stand by.
Ready.
Thank you for coming.
I know it was
an inconvenience.
But believe me, we've come
much, much further to be here.
We made the journey to ask you
about your involvement
in several recent events.
One, the death
of General McClendon
at Hazelton Penitentiary.
Two, a false news report
propagated during
an armed standoff
at Lucasville, Virginia,
that resulted in the death of
dozens of American civilians.
Three, the death
of FBI agent Dante Allen
in an emergency room at
a hospital near Washington, DC.
_
_
We respectfully disagree.
_
No. They're quite real.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
We're not here to talk about
the last 30 years.
_
_
Well, we're here
to talk about this.
You...
in Lucasville.
You... in an emergency room
outside of Washington, DC.
You using me to inflict damage
on my own country.
Uh, maybe we should all
have a break.
- Is everything okay?
- So far. Why?
Something just happened
downstairs.
A message came in to Mirov.
Maybe it was nothing, but you
should give 'em a heads up.
Alpha One, this is Main.
What's your status?
All good. They're fine.
- Shit.
- Alpha One?
- It's a fucking ambush.
- Alpha Two?
Move! Go! Let's go!
Go!
Main, this is
Alpha Two, inbound.
We're down a man. Over.
Copy that, Alpha Two.
Five to four.
Against.
The Supreme Court
just announced it.
How is that possible?
The Solicitor General sat
right there two days ago
and assured me that
the Cabinet serves
at my discretion.
I can fire them
as I wish.
Apparently, the court
had issues with the...
- delivery.
- What delivery?
Of the notice of termination
to the Cabinet members.
They're not gonna stop,
these people lined up
against me.
I think we should focus
on more hopeful terrain.
- Like what?
- The vote in Congress, for one.
Two-thirds is
a very high bar.
And Saul in Moscow.
They'll probably get
to him, too.
- Madam President.
- What is it?
It's okay, Ashley.
Thank you.
Not wasting any time.
So you heard
the Court's decision.
Yeah. Delivery issues
with the pink slips.
Not enough stamps, I guess.
This is a moment that was
never meant to happen.
You know that, right?
A moment utterly
not contemplated
in the Constitution.
Everyone keeps waiting around
like they actually care
what it says.
I do care what
the Constitution says.
Good. Then explain to me
how you used the 25th Amendment
to oust a President
who is not in a coma,
not in any way disabled,
clearly in possession
of her faculties,
clearly able to discharge
the duties of her office.
How is that done?
Madam President, I am here
to relieve you of your command.
We were fine,
and then we weren't.
- They knew we were coming.
- Gotta figure out how.
No, we don't. You don't know
they were tipped off.
It's not true. We saw Mirov
get some kind of message.
- He left the room.
- That could've been anything.
It was always a Hail Mary,
this operation.
It failed
for whatever reason.
Only thing we had going
for us was surprise,
which is gone,
as is Simone,
who could be anywhere
on the planet by now.
So what we're gonna do
is get out
before we're called to account
for those bodies at the dacha.
We're leaving?
You can't be serious.
I am, 'cause while this
was going south,
something else happened
back in Washington.
Elizabeth Keane is
no longer President.
Whatever authorization
we had has vanished.
We leave in the morning.
We use the situation in DC
to explain our departure.
Saul, we're not finished.
We can't be.
There is
something to be done here.
So tell me,
what's the plan?
- We can't just leave.
- We can.
First thing in the morning.
We're here.
How are things
in Washington?
- Couldn't be more fucked up.
- Except here.
Carrie?
We got your message,
but we don't quite understand
what you have in mind.
- Simone has vanished.
- Yeah. That we understood.
We don't have the time or
resources to locate her again.
And even if we did,
she'll be under guard now
in a way she wasn't before.
We need someone
to take us to her.
- So what's the plan?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
That's what Saul asked.
There are all kinds
of animosities
on their side of the table.
I spent the whole day
staring at them.
General Yakushin
from SVR and Mirov from the GRU,
they can't stand each other,
and Yakushin's really
had it up to here with
Yevgeny's condescending crap.
There are fissures there
we can pry open,
turn them against each other
in a way they do us.
Yevgeny's the only one who
actually cares about Simone.
There-- there must be
something we can exploit.
Okay, that's...
A wish, not a plan. I know.
I was gonna say
it's a good idea.
This SVR guy, Yakushin.
He's the one you can get to.
He's old school.
He wants America
to be stable.
It's where he hides
all the money he steals.
Drives him crazy,
Yevgeny going around
stirring up trouble.
So you think we play on
his resentment?
God, no.
Carrie, I'm sending you
something.
You wanna get to him?
Forget resentment.
Go for his money.
How?
We make it disappear.
Sorry if I woke you.
You really think
I've been sleeping?
- So?
- You said you wanted a plan.
What I said was
we're going home.
Well, I've got one.
Wanna hear it?
You were in that room
just like I was.
There are divisions on their
side we can use against them.
That's it?
No.
Yevgeny's like this with Simone,
he'll be even
more protective of her
after what happened today.
His boss, Mirov-- he doesn't
care about her personally,
but he needs to
protect her, too.
The last thing he wants
is her back in the US,
blabbing about how they all
brought down a President.
Yakushin, though,
has resentments
the size of fucking Siberia
about what those two have
been doing over at the GRU.
That doesn't mean
he'll help us.
No, but it means
he won't mind helping us,
- given the proper incentive.
- Which is what?
Yakushin's got nearly
$300 million in US banks,
funneled through corporations
he controls.
We drain those accounts.
He asks what he has to do
to get his money back.
We tell him, "Get us Simone."
- You think he'll deliver Simone?
- I don't need him to.
All he has to do is find her.
I'll do the rest.
- You will.
- With Anson and Bennet.
Okay, suppose you're right,
and Yakushin finds her.
Suppose, by some miracle,
you manage to get to her,
wherever she may be.
What then?
What's the exfil plan?
It's the same as before.
No, it's not the same.
It can't be.
Exfil plan was built on a narrow
window of surprise that's gone.
So tell me,
with everyone watching,
how do we get Simone and you
back to the US?
That's not the mission.
The mission is
to retrieve Simone.
- Carrie.
- Which, I swear to God,
is still possible,
and I've not come all this way
in that fucking plane
and in my life
to fail in that mission
when I know I can succeed.
You've given me a hard time
the past few years.
I'm in, I'm out,
I'm all over the place.
I am not
all over the place now.
I'm here and I'm all in,
and I need you to say yes.
I've been robbed.
- You have.
- Yes, by you.
4:15 this morning, bank accounts
belonging to me and my family,
my associates, all emptied.
- American hackers.
- Sit, please.
- Where is my money?
- You want my help? Sit down.
What do you want?
I want Simone Martin.
- I don't have her.
- That's true. Yevgeny does.
- So? Ask him.
- He'd say no.
That's why I'm asking you.
Fuck you, Saul.
Fine, fuck me.
This is what happens
when the gloves come off
while you're cursing me,
the awkward position
I've put you in.
Remember, I did not
start this.
- Neither did I.
- No, your countrymen did.
They left bodies,
dead on the ground,
in America.
They left
our President damaged,
about to be deposed.
- This is what you believe.
- I don't believe. I know.
And I'm sick of it,
your bullshit. All of you.
Give me Simone Martin,
you get your money back.
Or swear to God,
this is only the start.
He says he never
heard of her.
He's leaving the hotel.
We're tracking south.
He's got Moscow police
clearing a route for him
- back to Yasenevo.
- What's Yasenevo?
His home base.
SVR Headquarters.
What do you
think he's doing?
Well, he sure lost interest
in the conference.
What Saul said
made an impression.
Mirov's delegation's
ready downstairs.
Saul wants to know
when to expect you.
Um, tell him
I'm staying here.
_
So Yevgeny's not joining us?
_
_
Sorry to hear that.
_
Not feeling well.
General Yakushin?
_
_
What do you mean?
_
_
_
_
_
You were right.
There he is, back at home base.
You think he's got a plan?
Yakushin always has a plan.
Who are they?
- Can't tell.
- Can you enlarge?
Um, no, not much.
Lost them. We've got no coverage
inside the building.
- Hey.
- Where were you?
I've been calling.
Sorry.
Did anything happen?
Yeah, lots. Someone
tipped off the Russians.
- What?
- Plan "A" at the dacha
went to shit.
Team walked into a trap.
Two casualties,
one on each side.
We're on to Plan "B" now.
Go after Yakushin,
get him to cough up Simone.
- What's that?
- Yakushin's headquarters.
No, no. That.
Carrie? You seeing this?
Yeah, I am.
- What do you think?
- 30 men loaded for bear
less than an hour after Saul
squeezed Yakushin's balls?
We said get Simone.
That's what he's doing.
Okay, they're on the move.
We're tracking.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Max, switch to mobile.
We're heading out.
Where are they?
About a half-mile
from you.
Any idea
where they're going?
- No, not yet.
- Yeah, maybe.
He's headed right at Mirov.
Mirov's at the hotel.
I mean, Mirov's headquarters,
the GRU building.
He has a secure suite
there.
Top floor,
safest place in Moscow.
You think that's where
they moved her?
Yakushin obviously does.
- Bennet, you hear that?
- GRU.
Something wrong?
The Colonel apologizes.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Get away from the window.
Come on.
So, they are
looking for me.
What did Mirov say?
He'll, uh,
call the Kremlin.
And what will the Kremlin say?
Don't worry.
You'll be safe here.
No one can touch you.
- I'll leave the guards outside.
- Where are you going?
- Gotta sort this out.
- Stay.
Let Mirov deal with this.
He is the one who let it
all happen.
Bolt the door. Don't let
anybody in but me, yeah?
Oh, shit. Shit! Oh, shit.
Okay, we need to put this
out on the Internet,
like Yevgeny would do it.
Use CCTV footage,
tourist videos,
whatever you can grab.
Make it sound like the whole
country's melting down.
- Come on.
- What?
Put it out.
Use Yevgeny's network.
W-we shut it down.
The bots are still there.
- Come on! Come on!
- Max?
- Yeah.
- We're moving.
_
_
Excuse me.
Sir?
- Senator.
- You need to see this.
There is chaos right now
in Moscow,
where elements of Russian's
intelligence apparatus are
involved in an armed standoff
less than a mile
from the Kremlin...
- What is this?
- We started it.
- What?
- Keane did,
just before
she stepped down.
Send a covert operation
over there
headed by Saul Berenson.
I just had
the Russian ambassador
screaming at me on the phone.
You have to stop it.
Stop that?
How?
Declare Berenson a rogue
operator, disown him publicly,
or you're gonna have
the Russians
coming after you for this
20 minutes into your watch.
- Max, are you there?
- Yeah.
I'm on the eighth floor.
The security badge doesn't work.
Do I go back down?
No, no. You're--
you're in the right place.
Okay, there should be
an opening to your left.
You see the opening?
There should be
a door at the end of it.
Yeah.
Where's this go?
You're nearly there.
Carrie, hold on a second.
You can't be serious.
You have
a better suggestion?
Yeah, me neither.
I see a balcony.
Yeah, that leads to the suite.
You okay, Carrie?
Carrie, they're up
to the third floor.
You've gotta keep moving.
Carrie?
Carrie, they're up
to the fourth floor.
Now you have
maybe five minutes.
I made it.
Put your gun down.
So, this whole crazy thing
is you?
Wait. Wait, you-- you know
what's happening outside.
They're here for you.
- Yevgeny will never give me up.
- You think that's what
it's even about anymore,
giving you up?
The world is watching.
The Kremlin has lost control.
You are the problem.
What do you think
they'll do?
They'll make the General
back down.
Does it sound like
that's what's happening?
Mirov is probably talking
to Yevgeny right now.
- Stop.
- He's having the conversation.
Yevgeny's saying you're loyal.
You've done great things.
But Mirov is painting
the big picture,
and in the big picture,
you are expendable.
You don't know Yevgeny.
I know he killed Ivan Krupin
and Clayton and Dante Allen--
his people.
He killed them when
they became a problem,
and that is what
you are right now.
He'll walk in here,
and he'll tell you
everything's gonna be
all right, and then--
- You're wrong.
- Only, I'm not,
because we both know
that is the deal we make
in the work we do.
Simone?
Simone, time to move.
There's a path
through the basement.
Simone, there's a car waiting.
Open the door.
Simone?
Open the door.
_
_
_
_
You good?
Yeah.
Keep down, okay?
Come on, Saul.
I appreciate the visit,
but why are you really here?
Yevgeny slipped the net.
Best guess is
he made it back to Russia.
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
- So what do you need?
- Next best thing to you, Carrie?
- I need your team.
- To do what? Repatriot him?
Him or Simone Martin.
Turns out she might
be alive after all.
Unless the White House

I am the tip of the spear
of one of the most insidious

I'm dealing with it.
I-I've been dealing with it
since I was 22.
She said no one at work
could know. She's bipolar.
The mood of the country,
it's not great.
Civil... war!
Madam President, please!
You have to put a stop to this!
It's only getting worse.
Is there no fucking line?
Ridiculous lies and accusations.
The White House
is in crisis mode.
I'm talking
about information warfare.
Our country
is under attack.
The time to rise up is now!
I swore an oath
to protect it.
Just think of me
as a light on the heavens,
a beacon, steering you clear
of the wrongs.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Department of Justice.
Lawyers.
_
_
_
_
They tell me you don't
get a lot of visitors.
I can see why.
I take it you're aware
of the mess in Washington.
Yeah, the mess you made.
I'd say President Keane
gets most of the credit.
We're invoking
the 25th Amendment
to remove her.
It's at the Supreme Court now.
She thinks she's got
the winning argument,
but from what I'm hearing,
she'll be gone very soon.
- So what do you want from me?
- Advice.
Because just when there's light
at the end of the tunnel,
I get some disturbing news
about your pal Saul Berenson,
who, with everything
happening in Washington,
suddenly flies off to Moscow
in the middle of the night
on an unscheduled
"diplomatic mission."
Who told you that?
A reliable source,
who also provided
a passenger manifest.
Now what do you
want me to do?
Tell me what
he's up to over there.
Why would I?
Because there's a new
administration coming,
and I'm thinking,
with everyone else in town
free as a bird,
why not you?
Carrie Mathison...
and her team from Kabul.
Saul.
And two lawyers from DOJ
who probably have no idea
what's really going on.
What is going on?
Carrie and three of her buddies
from the Middle East?
It's not a diplomatic mission.
It's a covert operation.
To do what?
How am I supposed to know?
I've been here, walking around
in circles for six months.
Well, who would know?
Whoever's running it
stateside.
The Agency.
That place is a sieve.
Saul would have
his own small group,
off-campus, hand-picked.
Who?
People he trusts.
Seconded from other agencies
or recent retirees brought back
for a last fling.
Doesn't exactly
narrow it down.
He went to Russia.
Look for Russian experts.
You'll find
there aren't that many.
- Welcome to Moscow.
- Jim.
This is your clean suite.
We can't vouch for
any other place in the hotel.
You need to talk,
do it here.
These guys are
all over everything.
Assume you're being watched.
Now for some
encouraging news.
Yevgeny's dacha.
And there they are.
Pretty much around the clock.
- What are they up to?
- In Russian? Chertov.
With occasional walks
to the village for food.
Think that presents
an opportunity.
I think we should stick
with the original plan.
Security remains light
at the dacha, at least so far.
Two guards are camped out
at the end of the driveway,
plus a third
who wanders the grounds
according to a schedule
we have yet to divine.
Almost lackadaisical.
What's the old
Soviet saying?
"We pretend to work,
you pretend to pay us"?
Who's going in?
And you're on comms?
- That's right.
- What about the locals?
Two, just like you asked.
Totally reliable.
We've used them before. They'll
meet up with you at the site.
- Questions?
- Well, I have a few.
Yevgeny sticks to Simone
like glue.
How do you intend
on breaking him off?
We have a plan for that.
And what about
her exfiltration after?
We have a plan for that, too.
Fine. One last thing.
From what I'm hearing,
the President is hanging on
by a thread in Washington.
She authorized this operation.
What happens if she falls?
Anyone have a plan for that?
Can I help you?
I hope so. Is Clint here?
Clint?
Come on. He's in back.
Clint, you have a visitor.
Hello.
Well, I'll just...
Who are you?
Janet. Bayne.
Senator Paley's assistant.
Chief of Staff,
but, yeah, I am.
In fact, a question
the Senator posed to me,
a personnel question,
is what led me here to you,
and, uh, I'll just say it.
I know you're working
with Saul Berenson.
I also know he just took
a group to Moscow--
Carrie Mathison,
among others--
supposedly to object
to operations
the Russians are running
here in the US,
but really,
they're over there to...
That's the part
I need you to fill in.
Wait.
They are there to talk about
Russian operations in the US.
- Really?
- Really.
I mean, if it's
something else...
I don't know.
Well, I'm sorry
to hear that,
because this little spy
fraternity you're involved in,
it's completely illegal,
especially if you're supporting
off-book operations in Moscow.
Clint?
Can I bring you guys something?
- Yeah, just a second, Mom!
- So, why are they there?
I will call the Attorney General
right now.
I really will.
I will call the Attorney General
and blow the whole thing up.
Fuck.
They're there, um...
They're there...
to retrieve Simone Martin.
She's alive?
_
Before we begin...
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Where's Yevgeny Gromov?
_
You promised to gather
the relevant parties.
_
- And we have.
- Then where is Yevgeny Gromov?
Yevgeny?
Gromov. You must know him.
_
He has unique knowledge
of the issues
we're here to discuss.
_
_
- He's nobody.
- I disagree.
In fact, the opposite.
We feel there's no point
in proceeding without him.
_
Fine. I will try to find him.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
The Director suggests
we adjoin until Yevgeny arrives.
Yep.
You're on.
- Well?
- "Well" what?
What I told you.
Simone, alive and well
in Russia--
I said I need time
to think about it.
We don't have time.
Fucking Keane
and her fucking Russians.
- I know.
- Worst part is, she told me.
She told me not only
that it was Russians,
but that they were using me
to get to her.
Imagine Simone Martin back here,
saying that publicly,
that everything we've been
blaming on Keane
is actually Russians.
It's not inevitable
that Simone Martin
makes it back
to the United States.
It is very much up to you.
What do you mean
it's up to me?
A few words to
the Russian ambassador...
A few words,
and Saul's mission fails.
You want me to rat out
our own guys?
No, I want you to finish
what we started
and remove a President
so despised,
her own Cabinet lined up
to get rid of her.
Were we wrong about
some facts? Apparently.
But we were not wrong
about her.
I took the liberty of telling
the Ambassador's office...
Jesus.
...you might want
a few words with him.
You know the country
will be better off.
The country?
Okay. You and me, too.
What's wrong with that?
He's waiting, Senator.
Senator...
Fuck it.
Stand by.
Ready.
Thank you for coming.
I know it was
an inconvenience.
But believe me, we've come
much, much further to be here.
We made the journey to ask you
about your involvement
in several recent events.
One, the death
of General McClendon
at Hazelton Penitentiary.
Two, a false news report
propagated during
an armed standoff
at Lucasville, Virginia,
that resulted in the death of
dozens of American civilians.
Three, the death
of FBI agent Dante Allen
in an emergency room at
a hospital near Washington, DC.
_
_
We respectfully disagree.
_
No. They're quite real.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
We're not here to talk about
the last 30 years.
_
_
Well, we're here
to talk about this.
You...
in Lucasville.
You... in an emergency room
outside of Washington, DC.
You using me to inflict damage
on my own country.
Uh, maybe we should all
have a break.
- Is everything okay?
- So far. Why?
Something just happened
downstairs.
A message came in to Mirov.
Maybe it was nothing, but you
should give 'em a heads up.
Alpha One, this is Main.
What's your status?
All good. They're fine.
- Shit.
- Alpha One?
- It's a fucking ambush.
- Alpha Two?
Move! Go! Let's go!
Go!
Main, this is
Alpha Two, inbound.
We're down a man. Over.
Copy that, Alpha Two.
Five to four.
Against.
The Supreme Court
just announced it.
How is that possible?
The Solicitor General sat
right there two days ago
and assured me that
the Cabinet serves
at my discretion.
I can fire them
as I wish.
Apparently, the court
had issues with the...
- delivery.
- What delivery?
Of the notice of termination
to the Cabinet members.
They're not gonna stop,
these people lined up
against me.
I think we should focus
on more hopeful terrain.
- Like what?
- The vote in Congress, for one.
Two-thirds is
a very high bar.
And Saul in Moscow.
They'll probably get
to him, too.
- Madam President.
- What is it?
It's okay, Ashley.
Thank you.
Not wasting any time.
So you heard
the Court's decision.
Yeah. Delivery issues
with the pink slips.
Not enough stamps, I guess.
This is a moment that was
never meant to happen.
You know that, right?
A moment utterly
not contemplated
in the Constitution.
Everyone keeps waiting around
like they actually care
what it says.
I do care what
the Constitution says.
Good. Then explain to me
how you used the 25th Amendment
to oust a President
who is not in a coma,
not in any way disabled,
clearly in possession
of her faculties,
clearly able to discharge
the duties of her office.
How is that done?
Madam President, I am here
to relieve you of your command.
We were fine,
and then we weren't.
- They knew we were coming.
- Gotta figure out how.
No, we don't. You don't know
they were tipped off.
It's not true. We saw Mirov
get some kind of message.
- He left the room.
- That could've been anything.
It was always a Hail Mary,
this operation.
It failed
for whatever reason.
Only thing we had going
for us was surprise,
which is gone,
as is Simone,
who could be anywhere
on the planet by now.
So what we're gonna do
is get out
before we're called to account
for those bodies at the dacha.
We're leaving?
You can't be serious.
I am, 'cause while this
was going south,
something else happened
back in Washington.
Elizabeth Keane is
no longer President.
Whatever authorization
we had has vanished.
We leave in the morning.
We use the situation in DC
to explain our departure.
Saul, we're not finished.
We can't be.
There is
something to be done here.
So tell me,
what's the plan?
- We can't just leave.
- We can.
First thing in the morning.
We're here.
How are things
in Washington?
- Couldn't be more fucked up.
- Except here.
Carrie?
We got your message,
but we don't quite understand
what you have in mind.
- Simone has vanished.
- Yeah. That we understood.
We don't have the time or
resources to locate her again.
And even if we did,
she'll be under guard now
in a way she wasn't before.
We need someone
to take us to her.
- So what's the plan?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
That's what Saul asked.
There are all kinds
of animosities
on their side of the table.
I spent the whole day
staring at them.
General Yakushin
from SVR and Mirov from the GRU,
they can't stand each other,
and Yakushin's really
had it up to here with
Yevgeny's condescending crap.
There are fissures there
we can pry open,
turn them against each other
in a way they do us.
Yevgeny's the only one who
actually cares about Simone.
There-- there must be
something we can exploit.
Okay, that's...
A wish, not a plan. I know.
I was gonna say
it's a good idea.
This SVR guy, Yakushin.
He's the one you can get to.
He's old school.
He wants America
to be stable.
It's where he hides
all the money he steals.
Drives him crazy,
Yevgeny going around
stirring up trouble.
So you think we play on
his resentment?
God, no.
Carrie, I'm sending you
something.
You wanna get to him?
Forget resentment.
Go for his money.
How?
We make it disappear.
Sorry if I woke you.
You really think
I've been sleeping?
- So?
- You said you wanted a plan.
What I said was
we're going home.
Well, I've got one.
Wanna hear it?
You were in that room
just like I was.
There are divisions on their
side we can use against them.
That's it?
No.
Yevgeny's like this with Simone,
he'll be even
more protective of her
after what happened today.
His boss, Mirov-- he doesn't
care about her personally,
but he needs to
protect her, too.
The last thing he wants
is her back in the US,
blabbing about how they all
brought down a President.
Yakushin, though,
has resentments
the size of fucking Siberia
about what those two have
been doing over at the GRU.
That doesn't mean
he'll help us.
No, but it means
he won't mind helping us,
- given the proper incentive.
- Which is what?
Yakushin's got nearly
$300 million in US banks,
funneled through corporations
he controls.
We drain those accounts.
He asks what he has to do
to get his money back.
We tell him, "Get us Simone."
- You think he'll deliver Simone?
- I don't need him to.
All he has to do is find her.
I'll do the rest.
- You will.
- With Anson and Bennet.
Okay, suppose you're right,
and Yakushin finds her.
Suppose, by some miracle,
you manage to get to her,
wherever she may be.
What then?
What's the exfil plan?
It's the same as before.
No, it's not the same.
It can't be.
Exfil plan was built on a narrow
window of surprise that's gone.
So tell me,
with everyone watching,
how do we get Simone and you
back to the US?
That's not the mission.
The mission is
to retrieve Simone.
- Carrie.
- Which, I swear to God,
is still possible,
and I've not come all this way
in that fucking plane
and in my life
to fail in that mission
when I know I can succeed.
You've given me a hard time
the past few years.
I'm in, I'm out,
I'm all over the place.
I am not
all over the place now.
I'm here and I'm all in,
and I need you to say yes.
I've been robbed.
- You have.
- Yes, by you.
4:15 this morning, bank accounts
belonging to me and my family,
my associates, all emptied.
- American hackers.
- Sit, please.
- Where is my money?
- You want my help? Sit down.
What do you want?
I want Simone Martin.
- I don't have her.
- That's true. Yevgeny does.
- So? Ask him.
- He'd say no.
That's why I'm asking you.
Fuck you, Saul.
Fine, fuck me.
This is what happens
when the gloves come off
while you're cursing me,
the awkward position
I've put you in.
Remember, I did not
start this.
- Neither did I.
- No, your countrymen did.
They left bodies,
dead on the ground,
in America.
They left
our President damaged,
about to be deposed.
- This is what you believe.
- I don't believe. I know.
And I'm sick of it,
your bullshit. All of you.
Give me Simone Martin,
you get your money back.
Or swear to God,
this is only the start.
He says he never
heard of her.
He's leaving the hotel.
We're tracking south.
He's got Moscow police
clearing a route for him
- back to Yasenevo.
- What's Yasenevo?
His home base.
SVR Headquarters.
What do you
think he's doing?
Well, he sure lost interest
in the conference.
What Saul said
made an impression.
Mirov's delegation's
ready downstairs.
Saul wants to know
when to expect you.
Um, tell him
I'm staying here.
_
So Yevgeny's not joining us?
_
_
Sorry to hear that.
_
Not feeling well.
General Yakushin?
_
_
What do you mean?
_
_
_
_
_
You were right.
There he is, back at home base.
You think he's got a plan?
Yakushin always has a plan.
Who are they?
- Can't tell.
- Can you enlarge?
Um, no, not much.
Lost them. We've got no coverage
inside the building.
- Hey.
- Where were you?
I've been calling.
Sorry.
Did anything happen?
Yeah, lots. Someone
tipped off the Russians.
- What?
- Plan "A" at the dacha
went to shit.
Team walked into a trap.
Two casualties,
one on each side.
We're on to Plan "B" now.
Go after Yakushin,
get him to cough up Simone.
- What's that?
- Yakushin's headquarters.
No, no. That.
Carrie? You seeing this?
Yeah, I am.
- What do you think?
- 30 men loaded for bear
less than an hour after Saul
squeezed Yakushin's balls?
We said get Simone.
That's what he's doing.
Okay, they're on the move.
We're tracking.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Max, switch to mobile.
We're heading out.
Where are they?
About a half-mile
from you.
Any idea
where they're going?
- No, not yet.
- Yeah, maybe.
He's headed right at Mirov.
Mirov's at the hotel.
I mean, Mirov's headquarters,
the GRU building.
He has a secure suite
there.
Top floor,
safest place in Moscow.
You think that's where
they moved her?
Yakushin obviously does.
- Bennet, you hear that?
- GRU.
Something wrong?
The Colonel apologizes.
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
Get away from the window.
Come on.
So, they are
looking for me.
What did Mirov say?
He'll, uh,
call the Kremlin.
And what will the Kremlin say?
Don't worry.
You'll be safe here.
No one can touch you.
- I'll leave the guards outside.
- Where are you going?
- Gotta sort this out.
- Stay.
Let Mirov deal with this.
He is the one who let it
all happen.
Bolt the door. Don't let
anybody in but me, yeah?
Oh, shit. Shit! Oh, shit.
Okay, we need to put this
out on the Internet,
like Yevgeny would do it.
Use CCTV footage,
tourist videos,
whatever you can grab.
Make it sound like the whole
country's melting down.
- Come on.
- What?
Put it out.
Use Yevgeny's network.
W-we shut it down.
The bots are still there.
- Come on! Come on!
- Max?
- Yeah.
- We're moving.
_
_
Excuse me.
Sir?
- Senator.
- You need to see this.
There is chaos right now
in Moscow,
where elements of Russian's
intelligence apparatus are
involved in an armed standoff
less than a mile
from the Kremlin...
- What is this?
- We started it.
- What?
- Keane did,
just before
she stepped down.
Send a covert operation
over there
headed by Saul Berenson.
I just had
the Russian ambassador
screaming at me on the phone.
You have to stop it.
Stop that?
How?
Declare Berenson a rogue
operator, disown him publicly,
or you're gonna have
the Russians
coming after you for this
20 minutes into your watch.
- Max, are you there?
- Yeah.
I'm on the eighth floor.
The security badge doesn't work.
Do I go back down?
No, no. You're--
you're in the right place.
Okay, there should be
an opening to your left.
You see the opening?
There should be
a door at the end of it.
Yeah.
Where's this go?
You're nearly there.
Carrie, hold on a second.
You can't be serious.
You have
a better suggestion?
Yeah, me neither.
I see a balcony.
Yeah, that leads to the suite.
You okay, Carrie?
Carrie, they're up
to the third floor.
You've gotta keep moving.
Carrie?
Carrie, they're up
to the fourth floor.
Now you have
maybe five minutes.
I made it.
Put your gun down.
So, this whole crazy thing
is you?
Wait. Wait, you-- you know
what's happening outside.
They're here for you.
- Yevgeny will never give me up.
- You think that's what
it's even about anymore,
giving you up?
The world is watching.
The Kremlin has lost control.
You are the problem.
What do you think
they'll do?
They'll make the General
back down.
Does it sound like
that's what's happening?
Mirov is probably talking
to Yevgeny right now.
- Stop.
- He's having the conversation.
Yevgeny's saying you're loyal.
You've done great things.
But Mirov is painting
the big picture,
and in the big picture,
you are expendable.
You don't know Yevgeny.
I know he killed Ivan Krupin
and Clayton and Dante Allen--
his people.
He killed them when
they became a problem,
and that is what
you are right now.
He'll walk in here,
and he'll tell you
everything's gonna be
all right, and then--
- You're wrong.
- Only, I'm not,
because we both know
that is the deal we make
in the work we do.
Simone?
Simone, time to move.
There's a path
through the basement.
Simone, there's a car waiting.
Open the door.
Simone?
Open the door.
_
_
_
_
You good?
Yeah.
Keep down, okay?
