Homeland

Previously on Homeland...

I know you're working with Saul Berenson.

I also know he just took a group to Moscow.

Why are they there?

To retrieve Simone Martin.

Imagine Simone Martin back here saying that publicly,

that everything we've been blaming on Keane

- is actually Russians. - A few words

to the Russian ambassador, and Saul's mission fails.

Plan "A" at the dacha went to shit.

Team walked into a trap.

Explain to me how you used the 25th Amendment

to oust a President who is not in a coma,

not in any way disabled,

clearly in possession of her faculties.

Elizabeth Keane is no longer President.

Whatever authorization we had has vanished.

There are divisions on their side we can use against them.

What do you want?

I want Simone Martin.

This whole crazy thing is you.

The Kremlin has lost control. You are the problem.

What do you think they'll do? You are expendable.

- You good? -

- Yeah. -

Keep down, okay?

They're expecting us at the Embassy?

Yeah.

Was that always the plan?

More or less. Difference being we didn't expect

- to have Yevgeny on our ass. - Well, we don't.

Not yet, anyway.

Left here.

Live videos taken on the ground show

a violent assault in progress at the headquarters

- of the GRU... -

Russia's main intelligence directorate, where personnel...

- - are being dragged outside,

beaten, and held at gunpoint by members of the SVR,

the Russian foreign intelligence service,

a modern successor...

- What is this? What's going on? -

Apparently, the Russians are fighting each other.

Bullshit. It's Saul Berenson, and you sent him there.

You thought what? I wouldn't find out?

I wouldn't notice you sent a damn time bomb to Moscow?

What is he doing? What's the mission?

He's...

discussing Russian active measures

with members of their intelligence community.

Really? That is "discussing active measures"?

You don't wanna answer my questions? Fine.

I'll pull him from the field right now.

- Don't do that. -

- Why not? Why shouldn't I? -

Why shouldn't I?

- Simone Martin. - What about her?

I told you she's a Russian operative.

- Was a Russian operative. - No.

She's alive in Moscow.

Saul has gone there to bring her back.

Simone is GRU. That's GRU headquarters.

So we assumed it was part of Saul's mission,

but obviously, something has gone wrong.

You think?

I should've been briefed on this.

- You should've briefed me. - I couldn't take that chance.

What chance?

That I would compromise

an American operation in progress on the ground?

Yes.

Why on earth would I do that?

For the same reason you stuck a knife in my back two days ago.

Saul.

They have the package.

Listen up.

We're going home. We leave now.

Don't go to your rooms. Go straight to the parking garage.

- - Colonel.

Mr. Berenson, has something happened?

What you predicted.

All the changes in Washington. I've been recalled.

You're not National Security Advisor anymore?

I said recalled, not fired.

New President wants to consult with me.

He also said I must invite you and General Yakushin

to Washington to continue our discussions there.

I'd like that.

This is Saul Berenson.

Get her in the van.

Are we good?

Police escort is waiting outside. Plane is standing by.

- Thanks, Jim. - Don't thank me yet.

[indistinct conversations, cellphone rings]

- -

Stop! Stop!

- - What's wrong?

I want everyone out of this van.

- Excuse me? - I said everyone out!

- Colonel, calm down. -

Turn off the car!

Please, you're making a fool of yourself.

- I am? -

- -

Da?

- I'm sorry. Misunderstanding. -

Have a good flight.

Who keeps calling you?

- It's nobody. No, don't! - Hey!

Clint. Who?

It's... Janet. She works for Senator Paley.

- - Tell me.

She came to my house

to find out what Saul was doing.

I have no idea how she even connected me to it.

She threatened you?

And you told her about the plan to exfiltrate Simone.

That's why the Russians were waiting at the dacha.

Saul's en route to the airport.

Have you said anything to anybody

- about what's happening now? - No, nothing. Not a word.

It's why I'm not answering the phone.

So she doesn't get any ideas and try to find us.

I'm really, really sorry.

I'm sorry, too. But right now I can't let you out of my sight.

Come on. Come.

- - Sit with me, okay?

[siren wailing, horn honks, tires screech]

- Fuck. - Fuck.

- Max, can you hear me? - Yeah.

We're cut off from the Embassy. Where's Saul?

He left the hotel five minutes ago with the package.

We have to buy time.

40 minutes, maybe an hour, till they're in the air.

- Where are you going? - They know the car.

- I have to go on foot. - I'm not leaving you.

No, it's not up for discussion. I agreed with Saul.

If things go wrong, this is the plan.

What, to allow them to fucking catch you?

No, to buy time for what really matters,

which is not me, it's Simone.

[radio chatter, man speaks in Russian]

They've seen us.

- What station is that? - Checking.

Remember, we're a bunch of diplomats heading home.

So you know who you are.

Carrie Mathison. Your favorite.

- What's happening with her? - Don't worry about it.

She came over the roof to get me.

Did you know that?

You're just going to leave her here?

Saul.

What do you think you're doing?

- This is a diplomatic vehicle. -

- You. Out. - Nobody's going anywhere.

- This man is murderer. - You're mistaken.

- We're United States diplomats. -

This man's wanted by the police.

Killed someone in Sergiyev Posad.

That's the dacha. They have a photo.

We have diplomatic immunity.

His orders are to make an arrest.

No, that's not gonna happen. We have diplomatic immunity.

We're protected by international law.
