Ripped By mstoll
3
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:36,996
I'm here to save your life.
4
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:40,271
What life?
5
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:44,935
Letters from your kids.
When they're old enough to write 'em.
6
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,639
We could even put visitation
on the table.
7
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:50,215
I don't quite know how that would work.
8
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:52,181
Congratulations.
9
00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:54,776
The architect of peace with Iran.
10
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:56,947
You've made the world
a more dangerous place.
11
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:59,025
Now they're free
to build a nuclear arsenal.
12
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:01,593
ELIZABETH:
I was at Lily's birthday party.
13
00:01:02,662 --> 00:01:04,789
Gosh, she's such a sweet kid.
14
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:08,895
You know, she still sets a place for you
at the table every day.
15
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,903
I thought you were morally opposed
to torture.
16
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,666
- People change.
- What do you want?
17
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:17,140
I need to know if there are
any other rogue agents we missed.
18
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:20,269
And I want you to look me in the eye
and tell me about George.
19
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:24,906
You killed George.
You really wanna pull this string?
20
00:01:25,018 --> 00:01:26,918
I can put you at the center
of all of it.
21
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:30,922
I can give you the calculus where all
roads lead to you and a single decision.
22
00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:34,050
- What decision is that?
- You could be sitting in this chair,
23
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:38,062
if you'd actually lived through the war
instead of retreating into academia.
24
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:41,690
You turned on everyone and everything
you claimed to care about.
25
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:43,894
You put this in action.
You're the traitor.
26
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,438
- What decision?
- You quit.
27
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:05,319
JULIET: That does not look like
the stride of pride.
28
00:02:05,425 --> 00:02:07,950
ELIZABETH: More like the long walk
to the woodshed.
29
00:02:08,194 --> 00:02:09,957
Conrad wants to see me.
30
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:12,823
He read my Baghdad station report.
31
00:02:12,999 --> 00:02:14,864
I didn't get to it. What's the story?
32
00:02:15,001 --> 00:02:17,936
Scaling back
on enhanced interrogation tactics.
33
00:02:18,037 --> 00:02:21,905
Basic diatribe
against the efficacy of torture.
34
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:24,533
Not to mention the morality.
I'm sure you covered that.
35
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:28,410
Oh, well, you know, the odd bit
of harping on the Geneva Convention,
36
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:31,745
which I'll have to do until
I can produce the hard science on karma.
37
00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:34,786
The White House is calling
the Geneva Convention quaint.
38
00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:38,651
Their argument is these aren't
your father's prisoners of war.
39
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:41,259
(CHUCKLES)
We didn't change the rules, they did.
40
00:02:41,427 --> 00:02:44,988
Then what's the answer? Betraying
our own standards of ethical behavior?
41
00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:47,692
I'm reporting
your commander-in-chief's position.
42
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:51,162
No way am I saying
we back off this fight.
43
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:55,435
The image of those planes crashing into
the towers plays on a loop in my head.
44
00:02:56,442 --> 00:03:01,038
But my argument is that torture
is a waste of time.
45
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:06,016
We are squandering valuable resources
for little or no return on investment.
46
00:03:06,152 --> 00:03:09,383
- I get it. It's complicated.
- What do you hear from Isabelle?
47
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:11,149
- Miserable in London.
- What?
48
00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:14,249
She says it never stops raining,
the food is terrible
49
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:17,591
and the guys in Ml6
don't get her jokes.
50
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:20,597
- We don't get her jokes.
- I didn't tell her that.
51
00:03:20,733 --> 00:03:24,829
Oh, well. I'm about to get fired
or put on the Latvia desk.
52
00:03:24,971 --> 00:03:27,462
Al-Qaeda will have to remain
in your capable hands.
53
00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:29,040
Good luck.

00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:35,904
(BELL)
55
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:37,073
(BELL)
56
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:43,249
Ah. My staff. And video footage.
I have a bad feeling.
57
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:45,482
- No, it could be nothing.
- It's not nothing.
58
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:49,061
- It's not entirely something. Yet.
- OK. Let's see it.
59
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:51,022
Senator Raymond Caruthers,
60
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:54,292
staunch opponent of everything
in this administration,
61
00:03:54,634 --> 00:03:56,829
has cottoned on
to the recent events in Iran,
62
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:59,302
holding himself up
as the defender of truth.
63
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,931
I have not been placated by the
president's charade of transparency
64
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:04,339
regarding events in Iran.
65
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,570
We're supposed to accept the
responsible parties have been caught
66
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:10,842
and are on their way to justice.
I'm not resting easy with that.
67
00:04:10,984 --> 00:04:13,350
A guy who's making a bid for president
68
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:15,885
using the coup in Iran
for grandstanding purposes?
69
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,616
There's nothing to be exposed.
70
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:20,248
It still needs to be handled.
Conspiracies can snowball.
71
00:04:20,393 --> 00:04:22,918
There's no conspiracy
except the one we thwarted.
72
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:24,963
I'm just saying if that gets traction,
73
00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:28,556
you're gonna be spending way too much
time talking the people off the ledge.
74
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:30,761
We'll cross that ledge
when we get to it.
75
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:32,565
Madam Secretary, I just got word
76
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:35,197
that Senator Caruthers
is on his way to your office.
77
00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:37,969
I told him you weren't available.
He doesn't seem to care.
78
00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:41,037
This is not the ledge.
79
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:43,740
This is a thing
before you get to the ledge,
80
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:46,785
which is still a long way
from the ground.
81
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,945
I'm officially retiring this metaphor.
Thanks, Blake.
82
00:04:52,258 --> 00:04:55,455
Secretary of state saw this.
Secretary of defense saw this.
83
00:04:55,595 --> 00:04:58,257
National security advisor,
White House chief of staff
84
00:04:58,398 --> 00:04:59,660
and the president saw this.
85
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:01,858
Sorry, sir.
I don't know how that happened.
86
00:05:02,001 --> 00:05:03,935
Because I showed it to them.
87
00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:06,933
Why?
88
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,942
- I thought you made some valid points.
- What did they think?
89
00:05:11,911 --> 00:05:13,378
They remain unpersuaded.
90
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:15,378
- (SIGHS)
- I want you to rewrite the report
91
00:05:15,515 --> 00:05:18,109
putting the focus on
increased human intel on the ground
92
00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:20,777
and strategies
to replace enhanced interrogation.
93
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,821
Show them
they can win this war without it.
94
00:05:23,956 --> 00:05:27,016
I'll use that to explain why I'm
appointing you station chief in Baghdad.
95
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,418
What?
96
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:30,552
I have to replace Mike Hirst.
97
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:34,997
He's ineffective and controversial,
the worst possible combination.
98
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,963
I have to show the White House
we have a clear directive.
99
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:41,063
Who better to enforce that directive
than the person who authored it?
100
00:05:41,207 --> 00:05:43,732
- I'm not an operative, sir.
- Neither is the station chief.
101
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,572
It's an administrative position.
102
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:48,841
You are the only person I trust
to keep the operation in Iraq
103
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:51,472
effective and legitimate.
104
00:05:51,617 --> 00:05:52,879
Together we can win this.
105
00:05:55,621 --> 00:05:57,384
And hold our heads high.
106
00:05:57,757 --> 00:06:00,248
I know you won't let me down.
107
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:04,688
- Madam Secretary.
- Madam Secretary, Senator Caruthers.
108
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:05,821
Welcome.
109
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:07,293
Can Blake get you?
110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,336
Oh. Blake doesn't seem interested
in getting you anything...
111
00:06:11,437 --> 00:06:14,736
Madam Secretary, I'm sure you're aware
of the confusion and unease
112
00:06:14,907 --> 00:06:17,967
that's been swirling in the wake
of Director Munsey's acts of treason.
113
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:20,875
Senator, it's just the two of us.
No cameras in here.
114
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:23,972
- So, short and sweet will do it.
- Fine.
115
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,354
Here's the subpoena.
116
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:30,647
Subpoena for what?
117
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:33,384
To appear before a Senate
investigation committee
118
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,789
looking into this administration's
involvement
119
00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:38,897
in the attempt to overthrow
the government in Iran.
120
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:40,863
Hm.
121
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,731
Well, you don't often see a senator
hand-delivering a subpoena.
122
00:06:44,837 --> 00:06:45,929
Nice personal touch.
123
00:06:46,038 --> 00:06:47,869
You can be as dismissive as you like.
124
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:50,202
Can I take a wild stab
at who's chairing this committee?
125
00:06:50,343 --> 00:06:54,473
But you will stand before that committee
and you will tell the truth.
126
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:58,380
Not a problem. Do it all the time.
But, Senator, may I ask,
127
00:06:58,484 --> 00:07:01,248
do you ever get a queasy 3am feeling
128
00:07:01,387 --> 00:07:04,845
about wasting the taxpayers' money
on this kind of public display,
129
00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:09,394
which is really about promoting
your own political ambitions? Ever?
130
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,187
I'll see you soon, Madam Secretary,
131
00:07:12,331 --> 00:07:14,492
and I'll be the one
asking the questions.
132
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,397
Hmm.
133
00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:24,139
- Can I get you anything?
- So many ways to go with that.
134
00:07:25,244 --> 00:07:27,906
What do you think he thinks he has?
135
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:32,507
I have no idea.
136
00:07:48,601 --> 00:07:51,934
Mike B without an appointment
or heads-up of any kind.
137
00:07:52,038 --> 00:07:55,940
A subpoena? I have to find this out
on the elliptical machine at my gym?
138
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:59,739
I don't get that machine. I always feel
like I'm falling through space.
139
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:01,837
- This is serious.
- Seriously disruptive.
140
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:04,882
They can't have anything. Would you tell
your daddy to calm down?
141
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,544
Even he knows if they have a subpoena,
they have something.
142
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:08,881
They don't give those away.
143
00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:11,182
The president
went on national television
144
00:08:11,357 --> 00:08:14,417
and came clean with the world,
full transparency.
145
00:08:14,594 --> 00:08:16,892
- There's nothing left to know.
- Oh, thank God.
146
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:19,123
Cos I'm sure they're actually
after the truth.
147
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,865
I'm sure they wouldn't find
some nugget of discrepancy
148
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:24,903
and firestorm it into grounds
for impeachment! That never happens.
149
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:28,599
Do you know Caruthers was president
of the Princeton Debating Society?
150
00:08:28,941 --> 00:08:30,909
No, tell me more.
It's on his Facebook page.
151
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:34,309
Great debaters win not because
they have the best argument,
152
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:36,210
but because they are the best arguer.
153
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,544
- He's a dangerous man.
- It's theater.
154
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:40,380
The administration has a black eye.
155
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,715
He just wants to rub
some salt in the wound.
156
00:08:42,822 --> 00:08:44,983
You're mixing metaphors.
He's not gonna do that.
157
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,920
I have been thinking about it.
In fact, I've been making a list.
158
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,361
And I did slip my detail
159
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:56,162
in order to interrogate the fueler
who sabotaged Marsh's plane.
160
00:08:56,269 --> 00:08:59,033
And I did jimmy up a state visit
to Venezuela
161
00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:01,162
in order to uncover
a secret bank account.
162
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:04,835
I did plenty of unconventional things,
but none of it was illegal.
163
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:07,469
- You need a lawyer.
- I don't want a lawyer.
164
00:09:07,613 --> 00:09:08,978
It makes me look like I need a lawyer.
165
00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:10,843
At the very least give me permission
166
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,282
to transgress some boundaries
to find out what they know.
167
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:15,877
- Haven't you done that?
- Of course. My feelers are out.
168
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:19,014
- Then we're up to speed.
- Alright. Think about the lawyer.
169
00:09:19,158 --> 00:09:20,716
Gordon, let's go.
170
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:24,559
BLAKE: Madam Secretary,
Daisy actually called ahead
171
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:26,391
and asked to see you at this time.
172
00:09:26,532 --> 00:09:29,899
Ma'am, a small,
but significant matter has come up.
173
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:31,936
We've received a portrait
of James Madison
174
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,869
to replace the portrait
of Vincent Marsh.
175
00:09:33,973 --> 00:09:36,237
Given the revelations
about the late secretary
176
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:37,975
and his connection to the coup in Iran
177
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:40,135
and given that the press
comes through here...
178
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:41,577
The optics aren't good.
179
00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:44,212
I have my hands full
with the Senate investigation,
180
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:47,217
but with your permission,
I'd like to delegate this to Blake.
181
00:09:47,353 --> 00:09:50,948
It's making phone calls to the archives
and museums till we find a good fit.
182
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:53,658
- You good with this?
- Yes. Anything to help, ma'am.
183
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,853
You will make this portrait disappear?
I don't have to think about it?
184
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,965
Yes, ma'am. And then I'd like
to perform a similar magic on Mike B.
185
00:10:02,034 --> 00:10:04,059
I apologize if that was inappropriate.
186
00:10:05,571 --> 00:10:07,334
Thank you both.
187
00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:12,744
(CLATTERING)
188
00:10:13,746 --> 00:10:16,374
- Who's winning?
- It's too close to call.
189
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:18,916
I hate to sound
like the tech-spoiled millennial,
190
00:10:19,018 --> 00:10:22,181
but couldn't we get a copier
from this century that actually works?
191
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:23,886
According to our budget, no.
192
00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:27,925
We're one step up from scrolling monks.
193
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:31,963
It's kind of ironic that we send money
to people in developing nations, yet...
194
00:10:32,064 --> 00:10:36,865
This is the tip of the irony iceberg.
The glamorous world of public service.
195
00:10:37,870 --> 00:10:40,998
Kind of sexy,
a guy in stained work clothes.
196
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,264
Very DH Lawrence.
197
00:10:42,408 --> 00:10:45,571
OK... don't flirt with me.
198
00:10:49,115 --> 00:10:51,913
- I'm not.
- You are.
199
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:54,485
It's cruel to flirt with someone
you just dumped.
200
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:56,281
STEVIE: I did not dump you.
201
00:10:56,422 --> 00:11:01,689
I made the responsible choice and
chose not to continue the relationship.
202
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:06,897
OK. Well, it's cruel
to flirt with someone after that.
203
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:12,369
Look, I'm just asking, could you hide
behind a mask of professionalism?
204
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:15,439
Like I'm doing.
205
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:20,678
It's all yours.
206
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:26,778
(DOOR CLOSES)
207
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:32,354
OK, listen, guys. This Senate
investigation is gonna be a big deal.
208
00:11:32,458 --> 00:11:35,484
Now, there's nothing there,
so we have nothing to worry about.
209
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:36,925
But it's gonna be noisy
210
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:39,827
and it's gonna be in your face
and it could go on for quite a while.
211
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:42,433
- Bigger than the microloans thing?
- Afraid so, Noodle.
212
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:45,002
Is there some silver lining
we're not seeing here?
213
00:11:45,104 --> 00:11:47,766
- Conflict builds character?
- ALISON: It's not funny, Mom.
214
00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:52,236
Look, the president and I
came out on top after the coup.
215
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:55,370
There's a small but loud faction
of people who wanna tear us down.
216
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:57,039
That's all it is. We'll get through it.
217
00:11:57,383 --> 00:12:00,944
Since this is a family meeting,
don't we get to take a vote?
218
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:02,714
Who's officially over Mom's job?
219
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:03,846
- Guys!
- I am.
220
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:05,957
- Cut it out.
- We got a vote on her taking the job.
221
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:09,186
- We all made a commitment.
- Before we knew how much it'd suck.
222
00:12:09,328 --> 00:12:11,387
We made a commitment as a family!
223
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,397
(EVERYONE SPEAKS AT ONCE)
224
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:15,557
(WHISTLES)
225
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:17,898
Guys, quitting the job
is not on the table.
226
00:12:18,003 --> 00:12:20,597
We just wanted to give you a heads-up
how much it'll suck
227
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,207
and to reassure you it's gonna be OK.
228
00:12:22,541 --> 00:12:25,999
I have nothing to hide. Questions?
229
00:12:26,145 --> 00:12:28,909
Yeah. When can you quit the job?
230
00:12:29,014 --> 00:12:31,278
Are you kidding?
Come on, solidarity, guys.
231
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,408
What happened to "Go, Team McCord?"
232
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:38,214
Do we really need to care
what our teenagers think about my job?
233
00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:40,587
(CHUCKLES) Well, I was the son
of a union leader.
234
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:44,424
I got rocks thrown at me
because of my dad's job.
235
00:12:44,563 --> 00:12:45,791
This week, they hate us.
236
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:48,559
Next week, if we could get box seats
to a Nationals game,
237
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:49,895
they'd be over the moon.
238
00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:53,402
We never go full bore on the perks.
We should absolutely get box seats.
239
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:55,435
Well, I've been saying that
since day one.
240
00:12:55,574 --> 00:12:59,510
How nice was it to hear Stevie
be supportive of her mother
241
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:01,476
whom she no longer hates, apparently?
242
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:04,174
As predicted by someone
on Team McCord.
243
00:13:04,316 --> 00:13:08,412
OK, reel it in, Captain.
You were right.
244
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:12,183
She also seems to like you OK,
so we both win.
245
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,823
- The other two are mad at us.
- It doesn't matter.
246
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,191
Those two we can still threaten
with military school. (LAUGHS)
247
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:20,958
I love you
and your sensible parenting style.
248
00:13:26,205 --> 00:13:27,467
HENRY: Station chief?
249
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:29,471
Babe, that's an enormous job.
250
00:13:29,608 --> 00:13:31,599
Yeah. I know.
251
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:34,778
Living in Baghdad? Wow. For how long?
252
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,978
Well, I mean, I'd probably have to put
in at least a year to be effective.
253
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:43,989
A year away from us?
254
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:48,986
Conrad is putting
a lot of responsibility on my shoulders.
255
00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:51,995
I would be running
the interrogation operations.
256
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:55,225
Making sure they're done effectively
without crossing any lines,
257
00:13:55,367 --> 00:13:58,564
which will keep us far and away
from the slippery slope.
258
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:02,004
Yeah, I understand the job.
I... Why does it have to be you?
259
00:14:03,742 --> 00:14:09,374
Because I wrote the proposal asking the
White House to reconsider their policy.
260
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:12,382
You also insisted
on having a desk job at Langley,
261
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:13,951
so you could be with your family.
262
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:16,146
Yeah, well, then the world changed.
263
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:20,622
Four years. 9/11 was just a bad day
and already we're starting to forget?
264
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:23,990
I served in combat in Iraq.
I'm not forgetting anything.
265
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:26,893
People are recovering.
There's nothing wrong with that.
266
00:14:26,999 --> 00:14:28,899
Let tell you something, Henry.
267
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:32,334
There are a lot of people doing
what I do, so that they can recover.
268
00:14:32,438 --> 00:14:35,066
They have the luxury of forgetting
because we refuse to.
269
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,973
No one is forgetting. I am talking
about our marriage and our children.
270
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:41,740
I am talking about a higher purpose
which serves them.
271
00:14:41,847 --> 00:14:43,610
You went off to war
when we were newlyweds.
272
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:45,546
- You married a marine.
- You married a spy!
273
00:14:45,684 --> 00:14:47,914
- With a desk job.
- I'll have a desk in Baghdad.
274
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:50,750
- Don't do that.
- I'm not going into the field.
275
00:14:50,856 --> 00:14:53,916
I will go to great lengths
to explain that to Stevie and Alison!
276
00:14:54,026 --> 00:14:57,052
- Jason won't even remember you.
- Will you just stop?
277
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,998
(ELIZABETH SIGHS)
278
00:15:03,969 --> 00:15:07,166
Excuse me. A moment to discuss
the Vincent Marsh of it all?
279
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:09,331
- Sure.
- Alright.
280
00:15:09,441 --> 00:15:10,499
MATT: Thank you.
281
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:14,511
OK, this is a very hard thing
for me to say.
282
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:17,039
I've hit a wall.
283
00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:20,017
Can we hang the portrait on it?
284
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:22,552
A wall that has obliterated
my sense of humor.
285
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:25,415
- What's the status?
- I've tried everything.
286
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:28,754
- DAISY: The National Portrait Gallery?
- MATT: The Library of Congress?
287
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,453
How about the State House in Illinois?
He served there once.
288
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:35,897
"I've tried everything,"
is not a sentence I use lightly,
289
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:38,196
lest you intend to keep saying
names of museums.
290
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:41,164
Isn't there a Benedict Arnold
Hall of Traitors somewhere?
291
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:44,208
- If there's not, why not?
- See me not laughing?
292
00:15:44,343 --> 00:15:47,005
OK, maybe it's time to go to Nadine.
293
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:49,671
Every time I look at my watch,
it's not that time.
294
00:15:50,015 --> 00:15:53,746
She makes fun of him. I don't think
she's that sensitive about it anymore.
295
00:15:53,852 --> 00:15:56,753
Well, I would prefer not to find out
in exactly this way.
296
00:15:56,855 --> 00:15:59,551
Or perhaps you would like to ask her?
297
00:15:59,658 --> 00:16:00,852
You?
298
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,157
Just keep digging.
You'll find something.
299
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:07,156
Yeah.
300
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:09,927
What does it mean that Russell
is coming to your office?
301
00:16:10,035 --> 00:16:13,004
I think it means it's a week day
during business hours.
302
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:18,939
He said it was about the Senate
investigation. Where's Gordon?
303
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:24,581
With my ex-wife. We share custody.
It's actually a painful subject.
304
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:29,010
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you felt pain.
305
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:32,317
Mr Jackson is uncharacteristically here
at an appointed time.
306
00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:34,915
Oh, thank you, Blake.
Russell, do you know Mike B?
307
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,619
Only by reputation.
308
00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:38,953
I'll try not to gush.
I'm a big admirer of your work.
309
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:40,190
I keep track of you.
310
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:43,199
That Canuck letter you laid
on Senator Demunzio? That was inspired.
311
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:45,462
ANDREW: That means a lot
coming from you.
312
00:16:45,604 --> 00:16:47,731
Demunzio never ran
for another term after that.
313
00:16:47,873 --> 00:16:50,899
- The little victories keep you going.
- That was not so little.
314
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,844
- I'm being falsely modest, yeah.
- You guys need some time alone?
315
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,414
I'm good. Down to business.
316
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:00,944
First, an update on Juliet.
317
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:03,078
She's refusing
to cooperate with the FBI,
318
00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:07,989
so DoJ is seeking the death penalty
and they're gonna fast-track it.
319
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,424
Regarding your situation, good news.
320
00:17:10,562 --> 00:17:13,554
White House counsel
has made a legal determination.
321
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:17,032
They're going to invoke executive
privilege in response to the subpoena.
322
00:17:17,169 --> 00:17:20,832
- So, you're off the hook for now.
- Fantastic.
323
00:17:23,976 --> 00:17:26,911
This is where you say, "Thank you,
Russell, for your topnotch voodoo."
324
00:17:27,012 --> 00:17:28,036
I mean prowess.
325
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:30,740
- I hate the way this looks.
- It looks like Christmas morning.
326
00:17:30,849 --> 00:17:34,341
It looks like I'm hiding behind some
vague assertion of executive power
327
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:36,546
because I have something to fear
from the truth!
328
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:38,952
- She has a quirk about principles.
- We appreciate that.
329
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,889
As do I, but moderation in all things.
330
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:44,724
I understand how hard you
must have worked to make this happen.
331
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:46,922

I don't need to invoke anything
but the truth.

Facing the music is the right call
335

and the administration
will be stronger for it.

- Good.
- Thank you, Mr President. Goodbye.

There's going to be a huge backlash,
348
00:18:40,752 --> 00:18:43,585
but the mathematicians tell me
it'll be a shorter backlash
349
00:18:43,722 --> 00:18:45,747
than actually appearing
before the committee.

- Who are you trying to convince, Mom?
- You guys, obviously.
352
00:18:51,663 --> 00:18:54,996
OK, yeah, but, being complained
about by pundits is marginally better

I am not your lawyer.

And in my capacity as not-your-lawyer,
I cannot be privy to any information

I called around the agencies,
cashed in a few chits.
384

Someone connected a few dots
and then tipped the senator
385
00:20:39,204 --> 00:20:42,105
that during Elizabeth's inquiry
into Marsh's death,
386
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:45,574
she shared classified information
with you.

of classified material.
391

- Espionage? That's ridiculous.
- What information?

to be America's next top diplomat.

- Absolutely not.
- I know, I know.
412
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:06,719
It reeks of guilt,
which is a bean scratcher,
413
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:09,885
given it's meant to protect you
from self-incrimination.

00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:14,762
I'll work on finding you a lawyer.
In the meantime, get some sleep.

I thought the investigation
into the Dubai crash
419
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:40,248
had been declassified once
the White House ruled it an accident.
420
00:22:41,293 --> 00:22:45,093
Turns out not to be the case.
They're on solid footing.
421
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:48,222
George said that someone in the CIA
was behind Marsh's murder.
422

- You suspected the president.
- You can't say that.

What do you mean?
425
00:22:58,009 --> 00:23:01,172
There's only one thing to do.
I'm not gonna let you take the fall.

- You can't lie.
- It's not lying.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
will back me up on that.
428
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:09,184
You're basing your defense on one
of the guys who tried to kill Hitler?
429
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:11,653
Technically, he was convicted
of draft evasion.
430
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:13,519
Was he technically hanged too?
431
00:23:13,625 --> 00:23:17,584
He taught that there are some truths
more fundamental than an immediate lie.
432
00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:21,063
Henry, you can't perjure yourself.
433
00:23:21,433 --> 00:23:23,196
Are you really? Are you serious?
434
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:26,971
Taking the Fifth only covers me. They
can still get me to incriminate you.
435
00:23:28,974 --> 00:23:32,273
He just wants to take you down
by any means necessary.
436
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,847
This whole thing just lacks integrity.
437
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:40,173
I feel no ethical obligation
to play by their rules.
438
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:42,412
You could go to prison.
439
00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:46,618
No one's going to prison.

441
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:54,089

equals old-people prom.

00:23:54,232 --> 00:23:56,598
Oh, my God! That is totally right!
443
00:23:56,701 --> 00:24:01,434
Right down to the chaperone checking
my breath for booze every five seconds.
444
00:24:01,573 --> 00:24:04,633
Yeah, except this time,
they didn't smell any.
445

to remember this night in its entirety.

Apparently.

It's about Secretary Marsh's portrait.
469
00:25:30,996 --> 00:25:34,022
It's being removed to make room
for James Madison's,
470
00:25:34,165 --> 00:25:36,531
but... no one seems to...
471
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:40,436
- Want it?
- They don't.
472
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:44,974
- And we can't just...
- Throw it away. Use your words, Blake.
473

We can't throw it away.
474

That's in violation
of the 1912 War Department ruling.
475
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,015
I don't know which is more ironic.
476
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:54,913
That or the fact that we can't give away
such a vain man's picture.

to dump this in your lap.

it's not gonna affect me.

were killed today? 37.

was supposed to be over two years ago.

If Vincent Marsh was murdered,
it was probably an inside job.

I could only work
with someone I trusted,

and that meant my husband,

a man I have ruthlessly vetted
for over 25 years.

I have never heard such an eloquent
defense for violating the Espionage Act.

in all-out war,
590

is because I had the decency
to violate Section 793 of Title 18.

00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:35,445
Just got word DoJ
is not pressing charges against you.
666
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:39,913
Oh, thank God! Willing to go to prison
and being sanguine about it
667
00:38:40,017 --> 00:38:42,417
are two entirely different camps.
668
00:38:42,553 --> 00:38:44,817
They're citing
extraordinary circumstances
669
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:47,321
and the contribution
to national security.
670
00:38:47,758 --> 00:38:50,886
It doesn't hurt that your testimony
strongly swayed public opinion.
671
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:52,189
Russell took a snap poll.
672
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:54,997
82 percent think you were justified
in your actions.
673
00:38:55,132 --> 00:38:58,431
If I were Raymond Caruthers,
I would be running for the hills.
674
00:38:58,569 --> 00:39:01,231
JULIET: Marsh was confronted
by Russell Jackson
675
00:39:01,405 --> 00:39:05,603
about his intentions
to run for president himself.
676
00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:08,541
At that time, Marsh lost his nerve
about the coup in Iran...
677
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:11,307
She agreed to the deal this morning.
678
00:39:11,415 --> 00:39:13,747
Anything we wanna know
in exchange for her life.
679
00:39:13,884 --> 00:39:16,819
JULIET: He wanted the coup attempt
to end, but Andrew and I...
680
00:39:16,954 --> 00:39:20,754
- Late CIA director Andrew Munsey.
- Yes.
681
00:39:20,891 --> 00:39:24,850
We weren't about to pull the plug on
an operation we'd planned for so long.
682
00:39:24,962 --> 00:39:28,090
It was decided
that Marsh was now a threat
683
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:30,632
to the operation
which had to be eliminated.
684
00:39:30,801 --> 00:39:36,398
She's using a passive voice.
She's distancing herself from it.
685
00:39:36,974 --> 00:39:38,134
JULIET: Yes.
686
00:39:38,442 --> 00:39:40,535
HENDRICKS:
Using information acquired...
687
00:39:40,644 --> 00:39:43,943
He's a "threat." Not a person.
688
00:39:44,648 --> 00:39:49,551
- Her time in Baghdad changed her.
- It might have changed me.
689
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:56,952
- No. You're made from different stuff.
- JULIET: We studied the crash in Dubai
690
00:39:57,161 --> 00:40:01,393
and figured out
how to facilitate a similar incident.
691
00:40:01,532 --> 00:40:03,966
Obviously, we were successful.
692
00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:07,067
George Peters.
693
00:40:07,204 --> 00:40:11,903
Tell us about the death
of CIA operative George Peters.
694
00:40:12,009 --> 00:40:13,476
George.
695
00:40:13,611 --> 00:40:16,409
When Marshall's plane went down,
696
00:40:16,547 --> 00:40:21,211
George, he recognized the similarities.
He connected the dots.
697
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:24,212
We became aware
698
00:40:24,355 --> 00:40:28,815
that he confided his suspicions
in our former colleague
699
00:40:28,959 --> 00:40:32,827
turned secretary of state,
Elizabeth McCord. Back to her.
700
00:40:34,031 --> 00:40:35,931
DALTON: You OK?
701
00:40:36,033 --> 00:40:37,933
JULIET: I tampered with the microchip
702
00:40:38,035 --> 00:40:41,835
controlling the acceleration system
of his car.
703
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:44,473
It just looked like
a single-car collision.
704
00:40:44,608 --> 00:40:46,906
He was becoming unstable.
705
00:40:47,044 --> 00:40:49,808
We didn't think anyone
would question it.
706
00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:53,645
Remind her they were friends.
707
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:56,651
Wasn't George Peters
a good friend of yours?
708
00:40:59,824 --> 00:41:03,260
JULIET: I guess there was a time
when we were all friends.
709
00:41:06,730 --> 00:41:10,257
(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)
710
00:41:11,168 --> 00:41:12,635
DALTON: A horse farm? Really?
711
00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:16,467
- It's how I was raised.
- Henry's not from Virginia, is he?
712
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,007
No, from rural Pennsylvania.
The same difference. He's outdoorsy.
713
00:41:20,144 --> 00:41:23,170
He's got that whole chopping
and digging thing.
714
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,613
- But the horses are all me.
- Well, it sounds stultifying.
715
00:41:26,951 --> 00:41:29,920
You have an open invitation any time
you want. You don't have to call.
716
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:31,885
- All you guys.
- We'll keep that in mind.
717
00:41:32,056 --> 00:41:36,288
Well, here's to Elizabeth's new life
and to our new Baghdad station chief.
718
00:41:36,427 --> 00:41:38,918
- ELIZABETH: Yes!
- Happy trails all around.
719
00:41:39,029 --> 00:41:42,226
Thank you. I'm completely unfazed
by being the second choice.
720
00:41:42,566 --> 00:41:43,897
Amazed I was a choice at all.
721
00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:46,867
I've been receiving
your friendly interrogations.
722
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:48,801
There will be no need for enhancement.
723
00:41:48,906 --> 00:41:50,464
Thank you for your faith in my iciness.
724
00:41:50,608 --> 00:41:53,771
It's true. You have that
whole stern-mother thing down pat.
725
00:41:54,044 --> 00:41:56,706
In fact, you're gonna be way ahead
of the game when you have kids,
726
00:41:56,847 --> 00:41:58,644
which, by the way, you should really do.
727
00:41:58,782 --> 00:42:01,012
It's top of my list
when I get back from Baghdad!
728
00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:03,880
Conrad, I hope you have
some rabbits in your hat.
729
00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:07,321
I'm bringing Isabelle back from London
and then I have some ideas,
730
00:42:07,625 --> 00:42:09,889
mostly about overworking
the two of you.
731
00:42:09,994 --> 00:42:12,326
My wife will be thrilled
to have me home even less.
732
00:42:12,429 --> 00:42:14,329
- And I am not kidding.
- Oh, stop.
733
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:15,898
- He's not!
- There he is!
734
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,991
Sorry I'm late. The Beltway.
735
00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:22,669
- Baghdad's got nothing to compare.
- I love his cool perspective.
736
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:24,330
Never a hyperbole in sight.
737
00:42:24,441 --> 00:42:26,932
I don't think anyone here
values me for my low volume.
738
00:42:27,044 --> 00:42:30,138
So, where is my drink
and who is my new boss?
739
00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:31,976
- ALL: Ta-da!
- Whoa!
740
00:42:32,082 --> 00:42:34,915
Elizabeth is running away
to a horse farm! Yes!
741
00:42:35,019 --> 00:42:36,418
Really?
742
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:40,217
What, I don't check my email
for an hour and this is what happens?
743
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:46,455
- Thanks for your vote of confidence.
- I'm surprised. It's gonna be great.
744
00:42:46,597 --> 00:42:48,758
- No, I mean, I love all my girls.
- (LAUGHTER)
745
00:42:48,866 --> 00:42:54,168
I do, really! Sitting at a desk
and trying to decide which font to use.
746
00:42:54,505 --> 00:42:56,973
I'm surprised the dropout rate
isn't higher.
747
00:42:57,074 --> 00:43:00,100
All that saving your ass when
you don't listen to us and go rogue!
748
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,508
- That happened once, young lady!
- Come on!
749
00:43:02,613 --> 00:43:06,606
I got six cities! Peshawar, Kandahar...
750
00:43:08,452 --> 00:43:09,817
One more time.
751
00:43:10,821 --> 00:43:11,947
To the inner sanctum.
752
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:17,789
Colleagues, friends, noble warriors.
753
00:43:17,928 --> 00:43:20,192
