Homeland (2011–…): Season 8, Episode 6 - Two Minutes - full transcript
Upheaval in Washington brings an investigation to Kabul.
[Saul] Previously
on Homeland...
This is Charlie Echo Four.
We are at the crash site.
[Wenzel] Nothing.
No pulse.
The president's dead.
All of them.
No survivors.
There was an assassination
ordered by Haissam Haqqani
carried out by Taliban forces.
Saul...
[Saul] President Warner
is dead.
So is President Daoud.
Their helicopter went down
in the Korengal.
There were Taliban
in the area.
You think I did it?
I need to know.
No.
I did not.
If the Taliban did it,
the Taliban did it.
But if the ISI did it,
I want to know.
If G'ulom did it,
I want to know.
If the pilot
flew the helicopter
into the side
of the fucking mountain
because he thought
Jesus was talking to him,
I want to know that, too,
because it matters.
It fucking matters.
It determines what we do next.
Carrie?
You have to get
the flight recorder.
‐ We're leaving.
‐ No, first get the recorder.
They're gonna
destroy the site?
The vice president
made the call.
What about the black box,
the flight recorder?
Did you tell them
what the mechanic said
about problems
with the airframes?
Carrie, we are out of time.
Max, tell me you have
the black box.
[Max] Yes.
[gunfire]
[Carrie] Max, tell me
what's happening.
Can you hear me?

An American prisoner of war
has been turned.
You're a disgrace
to your nation,
Sergeant Nicholas Brody.
You're a traitor
and a terrorist,
and now it's time
to pay for that.
Are you accusing me
of something?
[Yevgeny]
You really do not remember?
[Carrie]
Remember what?
[Jim] We may be dealing with
a compromised officer here.
[Saul] You had a relationship
complicated enough
to lie about.
[Carrie]
Yeah, it's complicated.
I lost seven months
of my life.
To my Russian handler?
[man]
Is our strategy working?
[Saul] And you will become
the focus of an investigation
that will define
the rest of your life.
[Carrie] That not every
problem in the Middle East
deserves a military solution.
Because this whole country
went stupid crazy after 9/11.
[Jim]
Carrie, you're not yourself.
[Carrie] I'm still putting
the pieces together.

tell me you have it.

No one else will.
[TV anchor] The Cabinet met
early this morning
as soon as word
reached Washington
that President Warner
was confirmed dead
at the site of
a downed helicopter
in Afghanistan's
Korengal Valley.
Both houses of Congress met
in an emergency session today.
They declared Wednesday
a national day of mourning
for the President,
and plans for his funeral
have commenced,
though his remains
have not yet returned
to the United States.
None of that has discouraged
the thousands of people
gathered outside
the White House today,
expressing their devastation
over the loss of a man
who was president
for only a few short months
but was a great statesman
and a servant of the American
people for over 40 years.

Eight seconds to air.
Five, four, three, two...
Good evening.
In the words
of Lyndon Baines Johnson,
"All I have
I would have given gladly
not to be standing
here today."
At 4:52 this afternoon,
Justice Harlan Crawford
swore me in
to the office of President
of the United States.
It is with a grieving heart
that I take
this nation's solemn oath
to preserve, protect,
and defend
the Constitution
of these United States.
Kabul's on the uplink,
and the Joint Chiefs
want to talk to you
about moving around
some hardware.
What does that mean?
Redirecting the Fifth Fleet
into the Arabian Sea.
So they want to surge troops?
N‐no, it's about readiness
for another attack
or if we need to evacuate
the embassy.
You know, they're saying I had
Warner's chopper shot down.
‐ Palace coup.
‐ Who's they?
Fucking Buzzfeed, somebody,
I don't know.
[Wellington] There's gonna be
a lot more of that.
I'd try to tune it all out.
I just pledged
the hand of justice,
Old Testament style,
to the whole damn country.
Now, somebody in there
better come up with something
for me to do and quickly.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Please.
Where's Kabul?
[Reynoso] We're having trouble
with the connection, sir.
It's going to be a minute.
[man]
Still nothing?
[Yager] I don't know
what the fucking problem is.
JSOC's stonewalling me.
Any word on Max?
QRF searched both crash sites.
They didn't find a body.
‐ So he's alive.
‐ Let's hope.
How many units
are out looking for him?
We've got drones
in the air,
but it's over 12 hours,
and the search radius
is only getting bigger.
JSOC's still looking,
though, right?
Not on the ground.
I've got bases,
the embassy,
this place, all targets.
That's got to be
our priority right now.
[Yager] We're up.
‐ [Carrie] Saul.
‐ We're doing what we can do.
That's bullshit.
I sent him in there.
We both did.
[Owens]
Mr. President,
we apologize
for keeping you waiting.
[indistinct chatter]
Mike, do you have a minute?
It'd be really great
if you could look at‐‐
[door closes]
Tech cleaned up the tape
of Carrie and Yevgeny
at the mosque.
I think you need
to listen to it.
Can't do it.
I'll try and get to you later.
[indistinct chatter
on recording]
[door closes]
Hey, anything on
Max Piotrowski?
Whole sector's gone quiet.
They shot down
the fucking president.
‐ They're gonna go to ground.
‐ How about Kabul?
Maybe they're referencing him.
He was carrying a‐‐.
A flight recorder, I know.
Uh, we're listening
to hundreds of calls.
We got automated searches
on thousands more.
He's on the list,
but it's a long list.
Can I see the keywords?
[keys clacking]

[computer whirring]
Print me a copy.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[printer whirs]
[Lonnie] Hello?
No, I can't even get through.
The secure lines
are overloaded.
I'm‐‐I'm trying.
I‐‐.
This is everything?
Hang on.
The Taliban knows
how to avoid these.
You want to add something,
be my guest.
We got a dozen guys coming
from Fort Meade.
We'll have more ears
on it then.
Sorry, uh, Bagram SIGINT's
not calling me back.
Is there anybody
you can try in Kandahar?
[Mike] We put together a
timeline of everything we know
once the president landed
at Bagram.
[door closes]
It's incomplete,
but it's a start.
Alan Yager, Vanessa Kroll, FBI.
‐ Hi, Alan.
‐ Alan's my Deputy.
Chief of Station‐‐
he'll get your team set up.
Great, Ray Auerbach,
Marshall Carter
are the legats
from Islamabad and Abu Dhabi.
The three of us
will need doors that close.
Follow me, folks.
You can drop
your stuff in here,
and then we'll get you set up
on secure comms.
[Kroll] How much of your staff
is out in the field right now?
About half,
pumping sources.
Okay, well, uh, I don't want
to gum up the works,
but until we know otherwise,
this station is a crime scene.
What's the working theory?
Somebody told the Taliban
where to stand with an RPG.
You've got the highest
concentration in the country
of people that knew
the President was in the air.
I need statements
from everybody
and access to all communication
in and out of here
in the last 72 hours.
[Mike] Put out an RTB.
Everybody back to base.
‐ [man] You got it.
‐ [Kroll] Thanks.

He wants to talk to you
as soon as possible.

Your security detail doesn't

Yeah, I need an armed convoy

I want a favor.
Apparently I earned it.
Okay.
This isn't the beginning
of an arrangement
or whatever the fuck you think
you're laying groundwork for.
[sighs]
One of our people went missing
near the crash site.
You had a lot of casualties.
I'm not surprised
you didn't recover one or two.
I think he's still alive,
and he's a friend of mine.
Ah.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm worried
the Taliban has him.
If they do, he's only alive
if they want to trade him back
or sell him.
Can you find out?
Our network in that part
of the Korengal is‐‐
it's pretty thin.
You don't have to be cute
about it.
I know you bought a lot
of goodwill up there.
No, no, I‐I do want to help,
but...
What?
[sighs]
You have a surveillance blanket
on that area.
The moment I talk to anybody,
the man's gonna get
a Hellfire missile on his head
in a matter of seconds.
Can you disable it?
I mean, I just need long enough
to make a phone call.
You want me to take down
our monitoring
in the sector
where two presidents
were just shot out of the sky?
No.
Well, then I can't help you.
[sighs]
We have troops on the ground.
I can't give you
and the Taliban
a free pass in a hot zone.
It's not a hot zone anymore.
Look, all I'm asking for
is two minutes.
I trust you
to protect my sources.
You have to trust me
not to take advantage.
Let's not push it
on the trust front, okay?
You're an enemy officer,
and you're asking me
to sabotage an American
intelligence capability.
I'm not asking you
to do anything.
You came to me.
[sighs]
Can't fucking be‐‐
[sighs]
Two minutes is all you need?
Three o'clock this afternoon.
Two minutes.
Does that work?
This is not the time
to lie to me.
Honestly, I have no idea
where he is.
He is in your embassy,
and you will turn him over
immediately.
Yesterday he was
in a CIA safe house.
He left.
We haven't
heard from him since.
No one followed him?
‐ No tracking device?
‐ No.
The man who assassinated
your president,
you let him go.
Haissam Haqqani came to Kabul
at great personal risk
in the name of peace
to meet with the President
of the United States.
Haissam Haqqani
came to Kabul
to deceive one man, you.
You believed him
and brought your president
across the seas.
It was not Haqqani.
‐ And you know?
‐ [Saul] Yes.
Hmm.
How?
Because he looked you
in the eyes?
People change, they evolve.
Do they?
I wonder what
General Ryan thinks.
Do people like
Haissam Haqqani change?
Yes, sir, I believe they do.
Do you know the sound
a woman makes
when her hand is removed
from her arm with a hacksaw?
It can be heard
even over the cheers
of 5,000 Taliban.
Mr. President,
no one wants to see
the Taliban return to power.
But no one wants to see
the kind of lawlessness
you presided over
in the '90s either.
I reject the comparison.
You just declared martial law
and rounded up 300 insurgents
in a soccer stadium.
To prevent them
from attacking my country.
[Saul] Please.
You've wanted absolute power
for 40 years.
Now you have it.
‐ Frankly, it makes me wonder.
‐ What?
Maybe you had
the presidents killed.
You'll see yourselves out.

FBI's doing
preliminary interviews
with senior people
from the country team.
You should head in.
Mike's office.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[Carrie] Hi.
Oh. Hi.
Come on in.
I'm Vanessa Kroll.
‐ Carrie Mathison.
‐ [door closes]
Mathison, yeah.
Have a seat.
Mathison, special envoy.
What's that mean?
Saul Berenson
brought me in a few days ago
as a‐a sort of advisor
in the peace talks.
I worked with a lot of
the parties a few years back.
You arrived in Kabul on...
Uh, the third.
When did you find out
the President was arriving?
Yesterday...
[sighs]
A couple hours
before he landed.
The National Security Advisor
had a detail
bring me over to Bagram.
President Warner
wanted to speak with me,
but I didn't know
what was going on
until I was in the hangar.
Why'd the President
want to speak with you?
Um...
[sighs]
Well, I was involved
in sketching out
some of the administration's
Afghanistan policy.
Mm...
he was thanking me,
which was premature.
Which part of the policy?
Um, getting out,
ending the war.
You know anyone around here
who didn't support it?
The peace deal?
Well, a lot of people.
But in this station,
n‐not really.
[inhales deeply]
Hmm.
If you think of anything,
here's my email.
Thank you.
Okay, that's‐‐that's all?
Yeah, I'm just getting
the lay of the land.
Safe to say this won't be
the last time I talk with you.
[indistinct chatter]
[Yevgeny] You were trying
to hang yourself
with a rope
made from your bedsheets.
I hadn't seen you in months.
I got there...
by pure luck.
If I was there a minute later,
just a minute later,
you would've been gone,
and after that,
I managed to get you
back on your meds
for a couple of weeks.
There was a birch forest
right near the hospital.
You really liked
walking there.
‐ [Carrie scoffs]
‐ It's true.
Turns out,
we had a lot to talk about.
[Carrie] Really?
Like what?
[Yevgeny] Like your
relationship
‐ with Nicholas Brody.
‐ Tell me something
you didn't just read
in my file.
[Yevgeny] You had
a daughter with him...
Franny.
You slipped her head
underwater in the bath.
There was a moment
when you actually considered
drowning your own child.
‐ Fucking Christ.
‐ [softly] Yeah.
Did you read
the contact report?
It's, uh, not quite the same.
It's a total fabrication.
Timing's not great.
I didn't want to mention it
with all this going on, but...
I just knew
you needed to see it.
Yeah.
[sighs]
I mean, I understand
why she lied about it.
She wants back in the agency.
She can't get
security clearance
if that's on the record.
That's for damn sure.
Maybe he's lying.
Jenna, it was Carrie's idea
for the President to come here.
‐ She pitched the visit.
‐ When?
Ninety minutes
after this conversation.
She was in the SCIF when
Saul laid out the peace plan.
She told Warner the best way to
sell it to the American people
would be here, in Afghanistan,
in front of combat troops.
[sighs]
Okay.
But t‐that doesn't mean...
I have an FBI team
working out of my office.
I can't neglect to mention it.
I got to give it some thought.
Do me a favor‐‐don't let her
out of your sight.

[G'ulom] speaking Dari
speaking Pashto.
[G'ulom continues speaking Dari
on TV]
What kind of numbers
are we talking about?
Just shy of 300
in the stadium right now.
He massacres 300 Taliban
who came out of the mountains
for a ceasefire,
we're gonna be looking at
an insurgency on steroids.
Which means what exactly?
[Ryan] Suicide bombs,
kidnappings,
attacks on every military
instillation in country,
Afghan and American.
[Owens] And we don't have
the troop force for that.
If G'ulom lights
this thing on fire,
I don't know if I can secure
the embassy and the bases,
never mind prop up
his government.
Well, can we turn over
Haqqani?
Can we just do that?
Sir, we do not have him.
Why the fuck
did somebody tell me
he was in a CIA safe house?
[Saul] Mr. President, we'd
like you to get on the phone
with G'ulom
and draw a clear red line.
[Ryan]
He needs to understand,
if there are executions
in that stadium,
American aid to his government
will immediately cease.
[sighs softly]
Listen, is it possible
this is a lot of hot air?
I mean, he could be
bluffing, right?
No, sir, no, sir,
this is how he does business.
He'd kill 300 men in a stadium
without a flinch.
Oh, that's great.
Folks, let's talk through
how the President
can broach this.
[Saul] I would start
by reminding G'ulom
that his country
has a new constitution
and that it enshrines rights
like due process,
even for the Taliban.
[Ryan]
They have a judiciary.
They have a framework
for civil society.
None of that can be ignored,
even in the face of a crisis.
Especially in the face
of a crisis.
That's why it's there.
It's for your enemies,
not your friends.
[sighs softly]
All right,
get him on the phone.
Uh, we'll touch base
after the call.
Thank you, Mr. President.
[line beeps]
President G'ulom in Kabul
for the President, please.
Thank you.
Say his name.
‐ G'ulom?
‐ Yeah.
G'ulom.
Abdul G'ulom.
"Goo‐LOM."
"GOO‐lom."
"GOO‐lom."
Is that right?
‐ [grunts]
‐ Fuck me.
Yes, thank you.
[line beeps]
‐ Mr. President.
‐ [G'ulom] Mr. President.
"Congratulations" is not
the right word
for this place
we find ourselves.
No, it's not...
sadly.
May God be at your side.
And yours, sir.
Amen.
[sighs softly]
I'm told you've got
a lot of Taliban fighters
in your soccer stadium.
That's correct.
Mr. President,
I need you to understand
those men need to stay alive.
Now, I want Haissam Haqqani
in custody as much as you do,
but you've got
a judicial system
that you've just
put on its feet.
Even Taliban prisoners
need to go through something
that looks like due process.
Of course.
I am the president
of a nation bound by law.
Civil society.
Yes.
You start executing
men in a stadium,
you could be setting off
a wave of violence
that'll destabilize
your whole country.
I am afraid that part
is not correct.
Well, I think
you're going to see
suicide bombings
and attacks.
The spike in violence
has already occurred,
when you drew down
your troops,
and again when you began
peace talks.
That's unfortunate.
To this enemy,
appeasement is a sign
of weakness,
and it is met
with aggression.
They murdered the leader
of the free world.
It is the victory
of a lifetime.
Can you imagine
the consequences
if our answer
is due process?

of his presidency,

that slaughtering
300 unarmed men

[Wellington] Scott, the war
crime's not the half of it.
We just lost control
of the whole policy.
Hayes reversed course
based on the counsel
of Abdul fucking G'ulom.

at the Ministry of Defense,
and he gave her a tip
that helped leverage G'ulom.
They saw each other again.
Did she mention that?
No.

if she could go after him.
I said absolutely not.
Apparently
he reached out again.
She came to me,
and it seemed like
something we shouldn't ignore,
so I authorized a meeting.
Okay.

which she doesn't know.

is very different
from the actual conversation.
That's not unheard of

You couldn't possibly.
You told him things
you never told me.
You told him you think
you've been a danger to Franny.
Is that true?
Because, my God,
if it is...
you are vulnerable
to him in ways
neither of us can imagine.
I'm still putting
the pieces together, you know?
I'm not trying
to be evasive.
I don't remember everything.
Which is why you've been
in a recovery facility
and why you are going back.
No.
Max is still out there.
You understand what'll happen
if you stay here?
I just talked Mike Dunne
out of sharing all of this
with the FBI.
Jesus Christ,
there's nothing to tell.
Let him talk.
You told President Warner
he should come to Afghanistan.
I didn't know Warner
was gonna take me up on it.
I had no idea until
I showed up at Bagram
and Air Force One
was on the fucking tarmac.
There was a full hour
between then and the
helicopters going down‐‐
enough time
to make a phone call.
To my Russian handler?
Who informs the Taliban.
Then an RPG hits the President
of the United States.
Do you believe that?
No.
But the FBI
most certainly will.
And you will become
the focus of an investigation
that will define
the rest of your life.
I don't care.
I'm not leaving Max.
I won't.
You think you're the only one
who gives a shit?
Max is on everyone's mind.
We will do everything
we can to find him.
Okay, well, that means
keeping me here,
because Yevgeny
has a lead on him.
He just sent word.
I reached out
to him this morning.
Everyone in the station
was told to shake
their contacts for intel.
That is what I did.
The Russians have relationships
with Taliban commanders
on the border.
Tell me you didn't.
He says he has a lead.
Can I call him back, please?
Carrie, think for a minute‐‐
what would you do
if you were
trying to recruit him
‐ and he came to you desperate?
‐ No. That‐‐.
You would do exactly this.
You would tell him exactly
what he wanted to hear.
So you are gonna
blow off this lead?
I will have the CIA
pursue it.
In 30 minutes, you will be
escorted to a plane.
You will go willingly
or in handcuffs.

Good evening.
In the words
of Lyndon Baines Johnson,
"All I have
I would have given gladly
not to be standing
here today."
At 4:52 this afternoon,
Justice Harlan Crawford
swore me in
to the office of President
of the United States.
It is with a grieving heart
that I take
this nation's solemn oath
to preserve, protect,
and defend
the Constitution
of these United States.
Kabul's on the uplink,
and the Joint Chiefs
want to talk to you
about moving around
some hardware.
What does that mean?
Redirecting the Fifth Fleet
into the Arabian Sea.
So they want to surge troops?
N‐no, it's about readiness
for another attack
or if we need to evacuate
the embassy.
You know, they're saying I had
Warner's chopper shot down.
‐ Palace coup.

Fucking Buzzfeed, somebody,
I don't know.

a lot more of that.
I'd try to tune it all out.

Now, somebody in there
better come up with something
for me to do and quickly.

your president,
you let him go.
Haissam Haqqani came to Kabul
at great personal risk
in the name of peace
to meet with the President
of the United States.
Haissam Haqqani
came to Kabul
to deceive one man, you.
You believed him
and brought your president
across the seas.
It was not Haqqani.
‐ And you know?
‐ [Saul] Yes.
Hmm.
How?
Because he looked you
in the eyes?
People change, they evolve.

General Ryan thinks.

the Taliban return to power.
But no one wants to see
the kind of lawlessness
you presided over
in the '90s either.

You just declared martial law
and rounded up 300 insurgents
in a soccer stadium.
To prevent them
from attacking my country.

You've wanted absolute power
for 40 years.

the President was arriving?
Yesterday...

before he landed.
The National Security Advisor
had a detail
bring me over to Bagram.
President Warner
wanted to speak with me,
but I didn't know
what was going on

Why'd the President
want to speak with you?

Well, I was involved
in sketching out
some of the administration's
Afghanistan policy.
Mm...

Um, getting out,

drowning your own child.

It's a total fabrication.
Timing's not great.
I didn't want to mention it

never mind prop up

Well, can we turn over
Haqqani?
Can we just do that?
Sir, we do not have him.
Why the fuck
did somebody tell me
he was in a CIA safe house?
[Saul] Mr. President, we'd
like you to get on the phone
with G'ulom
and draw a clear red line.
[Ryan]
He needs to understand,
if there are executions
in that stadium,
American aid to his government
will immediately cease.
[sighs softly]
Listen, is it possible
this is a lot of hot air?
I mean, he could be
bluffing, right?
No, sir, no, sir,
this is how he does business.
He'd kill 300 men in a stadium
without a flinch.
Oh, that's great.
Folks, let's talk through
how the President
can broach this.
[Saul] I would start
by reminding G'ulom
that his country
has a new constitution
and that it enshrines rights
like due process,
even for the Taliban.
[Ryan]
They have a judiciary.
They have a framework
for civil society.
None of that can be ignored,
even in the face of a crisis.
Especially in the face
of a crisis.
That's why it's there.
It's for your enemies,
not your friends.
[sighs softly]
All right,
get him on the phone.
Uh, we'll touch base
after the call.
Thank you, Mr. President.
[line beeps]
President G'ulom in Kabul
for the President, please.
Thank you.
Say his name.
‐ G'ulom?
‐ Yeah.
G'ulom.
Abdul G'ulom.
"Goo‐LOM."
"GOO‐lom."
"GOO‐lom."
Is that right?
‐ [grunts]
‐ Fuck me.
Yes, thank you.
[line beeps]
‐ Mr. President.
‐ [G'ulom] Mr. President.
"Congratulations" is not
the right word
for this place
we find ourselves.
No, it's not...
sadly.
May God be at your side.
And yours, sir.
Amen.
[sighs softly]
I'm told you've got
a lot of Taliban fighters
in your soccer stadium.
That's correct.
Mr. President,
I need you to understand
those men need to stay alive.
Now, I want Haissam Haqqani
in custody as much as you do,
but you've got
a judicial system
that you've just
put on its feet.
Even Taliban prisoners
need to go through something
that looks like due process.
Of course.
I am the president
of a nation bound by law.
Civil society.
Yes.
You start executing
men in a stadium,
you could be setting off
a wave of violence
that'll destabilize
your whole country.
I am afraid that part
is not correct.
Well, I think
you're going to see
suicide bombings
and attacks.
The spike in violence
has already occurred,
when you drew down
your troops,
and again when you began
peace talks.
That's unfortunate.
To this enemy,
appeasement is a sign
of weakness,
and it is met
with aggression.
They murdered the leader
of the free world.
It is the victory
of a lifetime.
Can you imagine
the consequences
if our answer
is due process?

anything together.

You know that's
gonna be hundreds of pages.
You don't have to read it,

You just have to hit "print."

Yeah, that doesn't help.

[Jenna] Hey.
‐ Carrie shook me.
‐ What do you mean?
She knew I was on her,
and she ditched me,
clear as day.

How long was she
out of your sight?
About 15 minutes.
Write everything up,
detailed.
[door opens]
G'ulom told him it'll be
the first defining moment
of his presidency,
and Hayes lit up.
[Ryan] Does he understand
that slaughtering
300 unarmed men
is a war crime?
[Wellington] Scott, the war
crime's not the half of it.
We just lost control
of the whole policy.
Hayes reversed course
based on the counsel
of Abdul fucking G'ulom.
I'm worried the guy's about
to order 100,000 troops
back into the Afghan theater.
Two days ago,
we were ending this war.
Two days was a long time ago.
We'll see what we can do
on this end.
[Wellington] Yeah.

Saul, you got a minute?
[indistinct chatter]
Mind if we stretch our legs?

[Mike]
Yevgeny Gromov is in Kabul.
Did Carrie tell you that?
She did.
And that she's seen him?
They ran into each other
at the Ministry of Defense,
and he gave her a tip
that helped leverage G'ulom.
They saw each other again.
Did she mention that?
No.
She asked
if she could go after him.
I said absolutely not.
Apparently
he reached out again.
She came to me,
and it seemed like
something we shouldn't ignore,
so I authorized a meeting.
Okay.
I recorded it,
which she doesn't know.
Her contact report
is very different
from the actual conversation.
That's not unheard of
in a contact report.
It's a complete fabrication,
as is her account
to me after.
I'm gonna have to let
the FBI know.
Let 'em know what exactly?
That she's lying about
the nature of her relationship
with Yevgeny Gromov
and may have unwittingly
helped him assassinate
the President
of the United States.
I need to hear the tape.

Please...

your current relationship

Is this coming from Mike?
Answer the question.
[sighs]
He reached out.
It seemed irresponsible
not to find out
what was on his mind.
Even though I ordered you
to stay away?
[sighs]
Even though.
I didn't strap
the guy to a chair.
We had‐‐we had a conversation.
About?
[exhales deeply]
Well, he has some issues
with his current employer.
So you're what,
bringing him in from the cold?
I'm laying
the groundwork, yeah.
Mike recorded the meeting.
So he knows
you're lying to him.
And now you're lying to me.
You heard it?
Yes.
All of it?
It's my fault.
I put you in a terrible
position bringing you here.
And I'm sorry about that.
But I need to send you
back to Germany tonight.
Come on.
[scoffs]
The doctors said you weren't
ready, and they were right.
Can we ju‐‐for a second
not talk about me
like I'm a child?
[sighs]
Fine.
You lied about your interaction
with Yevgeny Gromov.
Let's start there.
You had a relationship
complicated enough
to lie about.
Also, he saved your life.
You don't think you carry
some sense of obligation?
I get that there are risks.
You couldn't possibly.
You told him things
you never told me.
You told him you think
you've been a danger to Franny.
Is that true?
Because, my God,
if it is...
you are vulnerable
to him in ways
neither of us can imagine.
I'm still putting
the pieces together, you know?
I'm not trying
to be evasive.
I don't remember everything.
Which is why you've been
in a recovery facility
and why you are going back.
No.
Max is still out there.
You understand what'll happen
if you stay here?
I just talked Mike Dunne
out of sharing all of this
with the FBI.
Jesus Christ,
there's nothing to tell.
Let him talk.
You told President Warner
he should come to Afghanistan.
I didn't know Warner
was gonna take me up on it.
I had no idea until
I showed up at Bagram
and Air Force One
was on the fucking tarmac.
There was a full hour
between then and the
helicopters going down‐‐
enough time
to make a phone call.
To my Russian handler?
Who informs the Taliban.
Then an RPG hits the President
of the United States.
Do you believe that?
No.
But the FBI
most certainly will.
And you will become
the focus of an investigation
that will define
the rest of your life.
I don't care.
I'm not leaving Max.
I won't.
You think you're the only one
who gives a shit?
Max is on everyone's mind.
We will do everything
we can to find him.
Okay, well, that means
keeping me here,
because Yevgeny
has a lead on him.
He just sent word.
I reached out
to him this morning.
Everyone in the station
was told to shake
their contacts for intel.
That is what I did.
The Russians have relationships
with Taliban commanders
on the border.
Tell me you didn't.
He says he has a lead.
Can I call him back, please?
Carrie, think for a minute‐‐
what would you do
if you were
trying to recruit him
‐ and he came to you desperate?
‐ No. That‐‐.
You would do exactly this.
You would tell him exactly
what he wanted to hear.
So you are gonna
blow off this lead?
I will have the CIA
pursue it.
In 30 minutes, you will be
escorted to a plane.
You will go willingly
or in handcuffs.
