You added fish.
DR. SHERMAN: Well, I'm hoping
they have more luck than the plants.
I couldn't seem to keep them alive.
ELIZABETH: We tried a fish tank when the kids were little,
but I just kept overfeeding him.
Everything sounds like a metaphor in here, doesn't it?
Anyway...
It's good to see you.
It's good to meet you, Henry.
You, too, Dr. Sherman.
Well, um...
Like I said on the voice mail,
I thought that maybe we could use one of my tune-up sessions
to talk through some of the things
that Henry's been going through at work.
Affecting things at home, that's on me.
We're not so much about blame here.
Thankfully, Henry has been really open
to giving it a try, so...
We do not need couples therapy.
I-I know you think it's going to be hooey.
I did, too.
But talking with her really helped me after Iran.
I know, and I'm grateful for it,
but this is an entirely different situation.
Is it?
Because you are up half the night walking the floors.
You-you say the same moment with Dmitri
plays over and over in your head.
- That sounds a lot like - Okay, what happened
- what I went through. - in Iran happened to you.
What happened with Dmitri, what I let happen,
was my doing.
And mine.
Elizabeth, this is not something you need to worry about.
Can I also say
that it pisses me off a little that when I'm falling apart,
it's off to the shrink, but when you're struggling,
you can tough it out.
- What is that? - I'm not toughing anything out,
I'm just...
You said you think about it every time you look at me.
How are we supposed to get past that?
Someone I cared about,
someone I promised to keep safe,
ended up losing his life.
Which was due to a decision I was a part of.
That's a terrible burden of responsibility.
Goes with the job.
Do you find your jobs
intersect quite a bit?
There's been a shared, um...
goal between our departments, so
- more lately. - It's very supportive
and collaborative.
Do you find that you're talking about work at home?
Yeah. I mean, we do sometimes, I think, so...
Nothing...
I mean, I think we both
out of the ordinary.
know where the boundaries are.
She's not opening up at all under interrogation?
She's too traumatized.
I think working with a translator is holding us back.
Well, you have to establish trust first.
Where do we keep the extra cereal?
Now that you've got the intel on Disah,
where does Hijriyyah go?
Well, we'd like to keep her here,
but that would mean somehow extending the terms
of her rendition.
Mm, if you need any help...
You don't have to say that.
I do have to say I hate your floss.
How can you deal with this stuff?
It's minty.
If Disah is in Islamabad...
I know, it doesn't look good for Pakistan.
Harboring our number one enemy?
Right after we talked them down from a war with India?
How did you guys do that anyway?
Oh, never mind.
I hit my security clearance.
I'd tell you if I could.
I think we might be letting things take over a bit.
I think you have both experienced more than your share
of professional trauma.
Not least the bombing Henry was in just a few months ago.
But I'm not gonna talk about your jobs.
I'm gonna talk about your marriage.
The connection that brought you together,
that built this empire of two,
the circle of intimacy that you share, hmm?
I want you both, in the next week,
to find your way back to that circle,
to take refuge in each other.
And that means no work talk at home.
I want you to come back with, mm... three moments
when you reconnected with the people that you were
when you first met.
Really try to reconnect with yourselves, hmm?
Through each other.
Yeah?
Okay, she might have gotten a little hooey there at the end.
No, it was good.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's right.
We're been needing to spend more time together,
and if this is what it takes to make that happen,
I'm in.
Does this mean we're going to the new shabu-shabu place
tomorrow night?
Is that that Japanese place
where you have to cook your own food?
Isn't that like eating at home?
Okay, now I'm just reconnecting with your dad.
(chuckles)
I'll tell you what,
you went to my shrink, you get to pick dinner.
Burgers and bowling.
Ooh, we are going back in time.
Listen, that, uh...
International Coalition to Counter Violent Extremism
thing tonight, you don't have to go.
Don't be silly, I said I would.
I know, but...
Well, it's not exactly bringing us back to our circle of two.
That's what burgers and bowling are for.
(chuckles)
Come on, you know you want to see me in a tuxedo.
(chuckles)
(engine starts)
PARKER: Drone images show
the I-8 district of Islamabad,
where Jibral Disah is said to be sheltered,
to be a highly exposed residential area.
Obviously, we can't do another bin Laden raid.
The hope is that we'll be working with the cooperation
of the Pakistani government this time.
Well, given that the Pakastanis
appear to be openly harboring Jibral Disah...
In the middle of their own capital, no less.
...I'm not sure we can count on that cooperation.
Without it, we're looking at an on-the-ground operation.
At best
risking chaos and noise, but at worst
significant collateral damage.
And Prime Minister Khoosat getting blamed
for letting the Americans in.
I don't need to explain to any of you
how important it is to protect our agreement
with the prime minister allowing us
to track Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
PARKER: Understood, but given this unique opportunity
to target Disah...
Disah might be enemy number one,
but that agreement is the key to global nuclear security.
Can't believe I'm saying this,
but Disah might not be the top priority here.
Are we standing down then, Mr. President?
The other option, if I may,
is to send in Murphy Station.
Cultivate assets on the ground,
with access to Disah.
Try to bring him down from the inside.
Of course, that's not without risk either.
Well, I'll sleep a hell of a lot better
knowing that we have Pakistan on our side on this.
There's a reception tonight
for the International Coalition to Counter Violent Extremism.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Abedi will be there.
Maybe I can
try and bait him.
Feed him disinformation,
see if it gets back to anyone at Hizb Al-Shahid
and then we'll know for sure if their government
is collaborating with them at all.
I suppose we can wait 24 hours,
see if it reveals any connections.
If we can't find someone we trust in Pakistan
to help us take out Disah,
we'll have to send in Murphy Station.
Yes, sir.
You know, I don't suggest
Murphy Station lightly.
No, of course, Ellen.
But it may be the best move we've got.
Oh, hey, Jose, you got a minute?
Sure.
Is that from Otis Beanery?
It's on my dime.
That stuff in the kitchen is swill.
(chuckles)
I wanted to check in with you about your informant
in Pakistan.
Okay.
He's someone with direct ties to Hizb Al-Shahid?
Direct? I don't know.
I've got a fixer who's been working with me
since Afghanistan.
He deals in whatever black market stuff these groups need:
arms, supplies, foreign currency.
He's in Islamabad now.
If HS is there, he'll know.
He's a reliable source of intel?
If the price is right.
Okay.
Currency exchange, I can work with that, thanks.
A reception for the International Coalition
to Counter Violent Extremism, featuring at least six countries
who openly sponsor violent extremism.
Welcome to 21st century diplomacy.
I just want to know the dress code for flagrant hypocrisy.
Uh, black tie optional.
Morning, team.
- Good morning, ma'am. - Morning.
NADINE: Our first order of business
is tonight's reception
for the International Coalition to Counter Violent Extremism.
Two words, people: open bar.
ELIZABETH: Oh, love the enthusiasm.
Maybe you can bring it to the second order of business.
Ah, well, now that Congress has approved
a new aid package to Pakistan,
we'd like to fast-track these proposals.
(sniffs)
So, please do get through these as quickly as you can
and earmark those that seem worth prioritizing.
JAY: Package was just approved
two days ago... why the rush?
Want to include it in tonight's reception.
As a show of our commitment to nonviolent initiatives.
A build-your-own-bear workshop?
MATT: It's hard to get radicalized
if you're making a bow tie for Mr. Snookums.
Sorry, didn't we just find out that Hizb Al-Shahid
might be hiding out in Pakistan?
We're still sending them $2 billion in aid?
There are times, Jay, when you need to trust
that you're part of a larger picture.
(gunshots)
Oh, not bad, Professor.
Nice!
It's been a while.
Any word on our status?
Are they sending us in?
Had a little chat with the secretary of state this morning.
Really?
What was that about?
She wanted the rundown
on my informant in Islamabad.
Sounds like she's running some kind of test on the ground.
As long as they don't trip any wires.
Only order I got was to stand down until further instructed.
Meanwhile, Disah could be packing up his caravan
as we speak.
Guess we're gonna have to trust they know what they're doing.
Being at the mercy of larger forces is not my happy place.
Hey, guys, I have a dinner to get to.
Are we good for weapons certification?
We're good.
You up for a drink?
You know what? Yeah.
Hey, has anybody seen my other earring?
- This one? - Mom!
You look stunning.
I do?
Is that silk organza?
I hope so. Yeah.
I love it.
ELIZABETH: Listen, I really need my other earring.
- I think I may have seen it somewhere. - Go get it.
Ali! Grr!
Oh, gosh, that smells so much better than the rubber chicken
I'm about to eat.
I can make you up a plate before you go.
(cell phone buzzing)
Uh...
Hey, where are you? I got to leave in ten.
HENRY: Babe, I'm really sorry,
I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.
Well, what's going on?
Everything okay?
Yeah, we're just really digging in here
in case we got sent into the field.
There's a lot to prepare.
No, no, I understand.
I was just...
Is that, um...
I mean, is that everything?
Of course.
Uh, if we wrap it up early, I'll... I'll try to stop by.
Okay.
I really hope you can make it.
Me, too.
I'm really sorry.
Don't work too hard.
Okay, bye.

Russia's here.
Why is Russia here?
'Cause they hate ISIS as much as we do.
Holy crap, have you tried this?
I would like to.
What Russia's doing to Ukraine
totally qualifies as state-sponsored terrorism.
They should not be eating our crab puffs.
If crab puffs bring world peace,
then I'm all for sharing.
This whole thing's a joke.
I don't know.
Those proposals for Pakistan looked pretty awesome.
Uh, what was that?
Sounds suspiciously like earnest optimism.
I just think Pakistan could benefit
from more than the usual blank check from the U.S.
You know, get in there at the ground level,
really make a difference.
(laughing)
It's cool, it's cool.
Wow, faith in the system.
How bracing.
Madam Secretary.
Foreign Minister Abedi would like a word.
Of course.
You'll excuse me, Your Excellency.
Of course.
Madam Secretary.
Minister Abedi.
Thank you for coming.
It's an honor to have you here.
I know it was short notice.
Well, after receiving notice of your generous aid package,
I was all too pleased to express our gratitude in person.
Well, we have many promising initiatives in the works.
While you're here,
there was a small matter I was hoping to discuss with you.
Of course.
Great.
At that point, it was either get the intel however we could
or let the kid go home and blow the whole operation.
How old was he?
Maybe 12?
So he's got this goat with him,
and I figure this is an easy move.
We cut the goat's throat, tell him he'll be next or whatever.
It's a goat, right?
He probably had one for dinner last Sunday.
- The kid lost it. - Like you wouldn't believe.
The goat's a symbol of Abraham sacrificing
his son Isaac to God.
It's a big deal in the Qur'an and the Bible.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
But you'd have thought I sliced open his mother's throat
the way he was crying.
Not a lot keeps me up at night,
but that one...
Yeah.
Think this should be my last one.
I want you to know I've got your back.
It's gonna be an easy op.
I'm not a total lamb, Jose, but thanks.
Yeah? Okay.
I know you've flown overhead, 20,000 feet.
Being on the ground is a whole other game.
I'll tell you my number-one rule,
how I made it home from every mission I've been on.
No acts of passion. Ever.
You find yourself wanting to save somebody,
take a big risk that wasn't part of the plan,
don't do it.
We're way more useful alive than a star on the wall.
I don't think we lost Mimi because of passion.
Hey, man, I... I'm sorry I rode you hard on Mimi.
Nobody knew that guy'd be wired to blow.
The truth is, I might have made the same call.
Maybe I'll have one more.
You want one?
Sure.
As you know, we've been tracking Hizb Al-Shahid
as closely as we can since the attack.
This attack was an affront to us all.
Thank you.
So we've been focusing on the source of HS's funding,
and unfortunately some new intel has traced
several private accounts back to Islamabad.
This is very disappointing to hear.
I'm hoping to get your help to close these accounts
as quickly as possible.
Of course. The prime minister has made it a top priority
to root out all ties to radicalism in Pakistan.
I know that he will be very concerned to hear this.
My staff will give you all the information we have.
This is a huge help, Minister.
Thank you so much.
It's the reason we're all here, isn't it?
(coins rattling on floor)
That was quite a strategy meeting.
There was beer... and-and strategy.
Uh, I'm getting a little whiskey, too.
Oh, I took an Uber.
How was the thing?
You know, just a thing.
Sorry I didn't make it.
Baby, I lied.
I didn't have to work.
I told you you didn't have to go.
I was about to leave, then I just... I...
I-I... I thought if I ran into some Russian minister
who was eating caviar on the U.S.'s dime,
I would throw him against the wall
and demand to know what they're doing with Talia Petrov.
Well, why didn't you just tell me that when you called?
Uh, I... I didn't know that was it.
(sighs)
I didn't want to face it.
Then say that.
Any of that.
We're... we're in therapy so we can work through it.
We're in therapy because I can't accept what happened to Dmitri

JOSE: I don't know what you said last night,
but it definitely got a reaction.
My fixer says HS reached out to him early this morning,
looking to empty several bank accounts,
move the cash back to Libya.
Wow, that fast.
Sounds like a pretty close connection
between Hizb Al-Shahid and, uh... Who was it?
The foreign minister of Pakistan.
He said he'd tell the prime minister right after we spoke.
(sighs) So it goes all the way to the top.
Possibly.
Good news is we made contact, so we can get to work.
The bad news is it doesn't look like we'll be getting
any help from the government.
That is bad news.
So are we going in?
DALTON: We'll give Murphy Station a diplomatic cover,
have them work from inside the embassy,
using operatives we already have on the ground.
They can poison Disah's food,
or get a messenger to bring a gun in
with the weekly groceries,
but I want him taken out fast,
with nothing to trace it back to us.
I'll dispatch orders.
I get giving private aid to radical groups.
I mean, I don't like it, but...
Saudi Arabia does it,
Pakistanis have given aid to the Taliban.
But official collaboration with terrorists,
right up to the prime minister?
It's like giving protection money to the mob,
pay them so they don't turn on you.
At the expense of... of all the aid
and-and support we've given them?
We're right in the middle of negotiating a free trade deal
and debt cancellation.
Why jeopardize that by
getting into bed with jihadists who want to destroy us? Just...

Got lucky.
Oh, now he's modest.
Hang on a sec.
What does HS want with explosives in Pakistan?
Exactly. This is not the kind of thing

It won't happen again.
Go ahead, Murphy Station. What's your progress?
Mr. President, we've been actively tracking a purchase
of explosives by two high-ranking members
of Hizb Al-Shahid.
When our operatives followed them after the purchase,
we got something we weren't expecting.
Okay. These are the two lieutenants of Disah
just after the purchase of the EFPs.
Now, this is a highly lethal
roadside bomb that can penetrate an armored vehicle.
Frequently employed against U.S. troops in Iraq.
Where the hell is this fixer getting an EFP?
Most likely Iranian military.
They make deals.
Resourceful.
Where are they going?
Tomorrow is a national holiday
commemorating the Lahore Resolution.
Prime Minister Khoosat will be riding
through the streets in a parade.
And these are the members of HS planting
an EFP on the prime minister's parade route.
DALTON: You're telling me
Hizb Al-Shahid is planning an attack
on the head of the country
offering them shelter and aid?
JOSE: That appears
to be the case.
ELIZABETH: Can you send us a secure link
to this video, please?
FELLOWS: Of course.
Sir, we'll have to disarm that EFP as soon as possible.
We'll get a team on it.
Await further instructions. We'll be in touch.
WARE: What the hell is
Hizb Al-Shahid doing?
We can't wait to figure it out.
We've got to warn Khoosat and get him to safety.
HILL: With respect, sir,
is showing our hand the best course of action at this point?
Maybe we don't have to show our entire hand,
but we cannot risk an attack on Khoosat.
This terrorist group already infiltrated the United States
with a dirty bomb.
If Pakistan falls to them, it's everyone's worst nightmare:
nuclear weapons in the hands of jihadists
with no hesitation to use them.
You must forgive me for not calling first to thank you
for your extremely generous support, Mr. President.
This is not a call about our aid package, Prime Minister.
This is a warning.
We know Pakistan is harboring Jibral Disah
and members of Hizb Al-Shahid.
Um, excuse me?
We have indisputable proof that Jibral Disah
and members of Hizb Al-Shahid are receiving aid
from within your borders,
that, in fact, Disah
is harbored in Islamabad as we speak.
(sighs)
Let me understand.
Against the wishes of every member of my cabinet,
against the fierce convictions
of virtually every citizen of Pakistan,
I have given the United States unprecedented access to track
all of our nuclear weapons, and now you come to me
outraged about what your additional secret intelligence
inside our borders supposedly shows you?
Pretending to be shocked that our countries spy on each other
may not be your best line of defense here, Prime Minister.
I have no strategy, Conrad.
You know the work I've done with my administration
to cut our ties to radicalism.
Do not assume, based on the faults in our past...
I make no assumptions.
These are known operatives of HS
on the streets of Islamabad about two hours ago.
They're planting explosives along your parade route.
I'll need proof of their identity.
ELIZABETH: We can provide that.
And you should know, Prime Minister,
I gave coded information
about Hizb Al-Shahid to your foreign minister
at our state reception.
And after assuring us he would pass that information on to you,
that information was instead
received by HS in Islamabad,
where they promptly acted on it.
Mr. President, you must believe...
DALTON: It doesn't matter what you knew or didn't know.
Not now.
What matters is that you stay safe.
For whatever reason, these terrorists
your administration is in bed with are turning on you.
And if you're not safe, neither is our nuclear agreement.
(scoffs)
Your concern for my well-being is... touching.
ELIZABETH: We have a team on the ground ready to take out Disah.
We politely ask for your help.
Or, even better, do the job yourself.
That means root out all members of HS and send them packing.
Then get your own house in order.
Madam Secretary,
you say it was my foreign minister
you shared this information with?
Yes.
I thank you for your candor.
Mr. President, Madam Secretary.
(click, beep)
Whatever's going on, I don't think Khoosat is in on it.
Well, we'll see what his next moves are,
and let's hope this is the end of it.
Sir.
JOSE: Damn it!
We just lost our eyes.
Our ops team got called off to cover this damn parade.
(exhales) We really need that phone to go live.
Guys.
What? What is it?
Something just posted
on the foreign ministry's Twitter account.
(phone ringing)
I'm here, I'm here. What is it? Are you okay?
Did Pakistan give the U.S. access
to track its nuclear weapons?
Where did you get that?
The foreign minister just posted it on his Twitter account.
He did what?
He has pictures of U.S. nuclear inspectors
at three different bases, all in the last week.
- Is it true? - I-I got to call the White House.
Elizabeth.
People are going crazy in the streets.
(glass shattering in distance)
Is it true?
Do you, uh...
do you remember when we thought the prime minister
might be cooperating with Hizb Al-Shahid?
All I can say is
we let him know,
and now his foreign minister just played
his ace.
And it is a really big ace, Henry.
I-I got to go.
I-I'll call you back, okay?
I love you. Bye.
(elevator dings)
(speaking indistinctly)
BLAKE: I'm here. I'm here.
Great. Thanks, everyone.
DAISY: Matt's still
- on his way. - BLAKE: Regular drip.
- The best I could do. - Thank you.
What's the latest on the embassy evacuation?
The first Chinook disembarked from Shindand Air Base.
It's due to arrive within the hour.
An airlift? Is that really necessary?
The streets are already chaos.
JAY: Here's to social media. Unrest
at the speed of light.
Do we really think the government will fall?
I mean, they re-stabilized after the conflict with India.
The only thing worse to Pakistanis than giving in
to India is giving in to the United States.
ELIZABETH: Tell Minister Avdonin I'm ready
for the call.
Yes, ma'am.
ELIZABETH: And try and get Henry!
BLAKE: Yep!
Um...
Why is she calling the Russian foreign minister?
Render safe mission.
The agreement between the U.S. and Russia
to secure Pakistan's nuclear arsenal
if the government falters.
Even after everything we've been through with Russia?
Probably the one thing that trumps politics.
If Pakistan's nukes fall into the hands of radicals,
that's not just a problem for Pakistan...
that's a problem for humanity.
Okay. Let's go, let's go.
(whirring)
- ELIZABETH: Can you hear me? - Yeah. Sorry.
- It's a little hectic here. - There's a Chinook coming for you.
It's-it's due in less than an hour.
We'll be ready.
Listen, Henry,
I know that y-you're gonna want to help everybody else first,
but... you need to think
of the kids. We need you back.
Let's go! This way!
Hey, you know Becky,
that crazy roommate you had when you lived on Kimbark?
The Jane Austen girl?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you remember,
but the second time I asked you out,
you put me off because you said Becky invited you
to a Pride and Prejudice ball
and you didn't want to let her down.
You remember that?
Yeah, I remember it, 'cause I went to it.
(chuckles) You did not.
I did. Tom Hodges was going out with this girl
in the theater department. She got me a morning coat
and a top hat from My Fair Lady.
Henry.
I learned the quadrille.
How did I not know about this until just now?
Uh, because you didn't show up.
Because I begged off to write a paper.
Well, I showed up. Looking like...
Oscar Wilde at a pet funeral.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
You're gonna have to take my word for it.
I will always show up for you.
Always.
Do you think that this counts as our homework for Dr. Sherman?
JOSE: Henry.
I got to go.
Just got word from the fixer.
I love you.
Disah's using the phone with the tracker right now.
It went live?
Jane's hooking us back up.
Hopefully we can still get a signal.
Jose, we're evacuating the embassy.
I didn't travel halfway around the world
to get on a chopper the moment we have this guy in our sights.
Have you looked outside? This city is falling apart.
Which is the perfect cover we need to get this done,
like POTUS wants.
We'll evacuate with the ops team after it's done.
I said I'd get you back, and I will.
You also said never do anything out of passion.
This isn't passion.
This is finishing the job we came here to do. You go
if you want. I'm staying with Jane.
(indistinct chatter)
(gunfire, indistinct shouting on TV)
WARE: Sir,
given the increasing civil unrest,
I recommend we move immediately
to secure all nuclear weapons in Pakistan.
With NNSA's recent inspections, JSOC will know exactly where
- to go. - ELIZABETH: I've spoken with Russia.
They're on board and ready when we say the word.
You know why those people are rioting?
National pride.
The very idea that their prime minister agreed to allow us
to simply track where their weapons are
is sending them into the streets demanding his head.
And given the volatility...
Given the volatility, those people will see our efforts
to secure their arsenal as nothing less than...
an invasion by a foreign enemy.
We do need to consider the known collaboration
between members of the Pakistani Parliament
and HS.
The greater risk is allowing any of those groups
to gain access to a single warhead.
I'm aware of the risk, Ephraim.
And if I'd truly lost hope that Khoosat could pull out of this,
I wouldn't hesitate to send the troops in.
But once we do that, Khoosat is finished,
along with our nuclear agreement.
Hell, the whole country could become a bigger mess than Syria.
We've got to let this play out a little longer. Let's...
offer Khoosat military escort to one of our air bases.
Get him to safety,
let him regroup.
I'll reach out and make the offer.
Thanks for coming in, everyone.
(door opens)
How's Murphy Station?
They're evacuating with the rest of the embassy.
Just waiting to hear when they arrive at Shindand Air Base.
So...
Good night, sir.
Good night.
(knocking)
(gasps)
- Oh. - We're gathering.
I didn't know if you wanted
to come.
No, yeah. Um, sorry.
What's this?
It was delivered
while you were sleeping.
That's, um,
Arabian jasmine.
At least, that's what I ordered.
I really have
no idea.
Hey... Oh!
That's... Okay.
Very nice.
(chuckles)
Off to the meeting.
(elevator dings)
No, no. You go ahead.
Ma'am.
Blake.
The prime minister is en route to the air base now.
However, the Chinook carrying the employees
from the Islamabad embassy just arrived at Shindand,
and Murphy Station is not on board.
What?
I've put out word to locate them immediately, but given the chaos
- of the evacuation... - No, no, no, no. They have to find them.
DAISY: Ma'am.
Prime Minister Khoosat left without our military escort.
(indistinct shouting)
(horn honking)
(loud thumping)
_
(indistinct shouting)
_
(grunting)
_
(shouting, grunting)
DALTON: This is nothing less than a hit on Prime Minister Khoosat
called by his own foreign minister.
He knew exactly what he was doing by sending that tweet.
And now it's done.
PARKER: JSOC is ready
to initiate render safe, Mr. President.
SecDef recommends we do it immediately.
It'll unleash total chaos.
But it's hard to see our way out of it now.
I believe it's the right call, Mr. President.
I would agree, sir.
What about Murphy Station?
I'm assured they'll be brought to safety.
Once they're located.
I'd like to wait until all of our citizens are out of danger.
ELIZABETH: I appreciate that, Mr. President,
but securing over 100 nuclear warheads in a fallen regime
with ties to multiple jihadist groups has to take precedence.
I agree. It's time to send in the troops and render safe.
Do it.
(line ringing)
Come on, Henry. Come on.
Pick up.
(beeping)
