Madam Secretary

I've put the full weight of the Justice Department

behind this operation.

We'll have eyes, ears and GPS

on Director Munsey 24-7.

He will have no ability to contact anyone by any means

at any time.

He will have no access to anything with a signal...

or anything that could be used

as a communication device of any kind.

We'll give him the appearance of freedom,

monitoring him discreetly,

so no one other than him will know.

Mr. President, I assure you that Director Munsey

won't be able to renew a magazine subscription,

much less reach out to his co-conspirators.

And we're sure we're on solid legal footing here?

Munsey admitted plotting an illegal coup

against Iran, in direct violation

of Executive Order 12-triple-three.

We have 72 hours to do what we please.

Then the firing squad.

It's still available to me, isn't it, Mary?

I'll tell the boys

at Terre Haute to start cleaning their rifles.

- Thank you, Madam Attorney General. - You bet.

Thank you, Mr. President. Madam Secretary.

Well,

that buys us a few days

without Munsey's co-conspirators

- knowing that we're onto him. - In the meantime,

there's an imminent coup in the works in Iran

- with our fingerprints all over it. - Secretary Marsh and Munsey

had the full power of the State Department and the CIA

at their disposal... whatever they planned...

it's got to be big.

And yet we are completely in the blind.

Maybe we just warn the Iranians.

I know Javani...

he's a pragmatist,

and even with the trust that we've built up,

without concrete reason to think otherwise,

he'll assume it's a ploy.

Not to mention Shiraz and the ayatollahs.

Mm...

It'll bury the peace talks and put us on the road to war.

We need operational details.

Something that we can take to the Iranians

to prove that we're not behind the coup.

The task force

has found nothing so far on Munsey's computers, phone...

The key to any post-coup structure would be a leader.

I have some ideas who that might be.

I can get into it.

Get into it fast.

Hey.

Thank you for coming on such short notice.

Of course.

I have a lot to tell you and not a lot of time,

so forgive me for skipping the sensitivity preamble.

Secretary Marsh was murdered.

And he and Andrew Munsey were plotting a coup

against the regime in Iran.

I know.

But right now, I need you to call in the rest of the staff.

Though there is one of them that I need to speak to first.

Uh, Madam Secretary?

Can I come in?

Of course.

I know I'm not exactly your favorite person these days.

Hey, Matt.

- Uh, ma'am. - I saw your car parked out front.

I got the text about going to the office, so, um...

so, see you.

You bet.

Um...

Thank you.

Daisy, I don't really care, but if you really believe that

no one knew you guys were still together,

then I strongly advise

you never go into clandestine services.

Copy that.

And speaking of secrecy,

I came here tonight to apologize for

keeping you in the dark.

If I were you,

I would've skipped that last press conference, too.

But now I'm gonna come clean, because I need you.

Okay?

Okay.

Secretary Marsh's plane crash wasn't an accident.

But-but why?

Why then kill Marsh?

I don't know.

Except clearly it had something to do

with the coup conspiracy.

Help me

figure out who else is behind this

and I promise you we will get justice for Secretary Marsh.

Sounds like he already got justice.

Sabotaging a plane and killing the secretary,

three crew members and two DS agents

isn't justice, Jay.

But it is nothing compared to

the bloodbath that's coming if we can't stop the coup.

What do you need, ma'am?

Based on my knowledge of the Iranian

opposition community,

I've come up with a list of seven

potential coup leaders.

I'm hoping that you can help me narrow it down.

Uh, it's not Ahadi or Pejman... Marsh thought

- they were lightweights. - He was pretty distrustful

of Khorsandi.

He called him the Rat of Ramin.

- Definitely not him. - Okay.

Well, that's good; we're down to four.

We've got Kadivar, Soroush,

Abdollah and Alinejad.

Let's see if we can connect any of them to

Secretary Marsh and Andrew Munsey within the last year.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

Does anyone really know anyone else, really?

I know people.

Yes, but do you really?

Okay, Soroush was in Toronto on April 10,

same day that Vincent Marsh

was in Ithaca, New York, fund-raising.

They're not too far apart.

Maybe they met somewhere in the middle?

For a romantic tryst in Niagara Falls?

- Oh... - Cancel the honeymoon suite.

Munsey was in Tampa.

Okay, I'm not ready to throw Marsh completely

under the bus... I mean, even though the coup was misguided,

he wasn't without his good qualities.

And what, pray tell, might those have been?

Hold on a second.

Abdollah was in Paris April 22,

Marsh was in Berlin.

Does anybody know where Munsey was? Was he in Europe?

- April 22? - Yeah.

The director was at Langley.

Well, say what you want about Secretary Marsh.

He was a family man.

He was a good father and husband.

Please.

Okay, Alinejad and Munsey

were both in Jamaica the weekend of May 9,

stayed at resorts on opposite sides of the island.

- What about Marsh? - He was on his ranch outside Caracas.

Damn it.

This is useless. I mean, obviously

they never all sat down together.

What was that date again, Jay?

Uh, Jamaica, May 9 to 11.

Secretary Marsh was also in Jamaica that weekend.

Nadine, I'm looking at his official schedule.

Which I personally fabricated.

Daisy, whatever good was in that man,

he most definitely was not a good husband.

But he always said such nice things about Mrs. Marsh.

Not when he was in bed with me.

That'd be kind of rude, I guess.

Uh, so...

Marsh made an off-the-books trip to Jamaica

the same weekend as...

Munsey and Alinejad.

Okay, that can't be a coincidence.

I mean, I-I think we have our affair.

I mean, coup leader.

I'll let the secretary know.

You get back after 4:00

in the morning and you still have time

to get the Laffy String.

Hey, just because the fate of the world hangs in the balance

does not mean that we shirk family birthday tradition...

Do not, don't you dare.

So how is the fate of the world?

- Well, you know as much as I know. - That bad, huh?

Yay. You guys got the Laffy String.

Well, you only turn 16 once,

- Noodle. - Yes.

Besides, how else are we going to have

the most epic Laffy String fight ever?

Now that I'm back, you're all going down.

- Oh, no... - No, I'll tell you who's going down: the Ziglantians.

Today's the day I break into the Fortress of Night.

Well, enjoy killing Ziglantians while you can, dude,

because Monday morning,

- you're gonna be back with the humans - Ugh.

at Monroe Junior High.

Where a wise-ass like you might end up

getting whacked like a Ziglantian.

I got public school, okay?

It's better than the freaks at Westmore.

It's so weird you got expelled.

If by "weird" you mean "awesome".

Hey, Nadine. What do you got?

Jafar Alinejad, huh?

Timing fits.
