Homeland

Previously on Homeland...

This woman was in here four days ago.

It's just one transfer. $9,950.

She got off a turnpike four times on her way there,

and there's a cash place at each exit.

- So do I bring her in? - She's not our target.

We've gotta connect her and the money to Wellington.

- How? - An operation,

The kind of thing we used to do in Kabul.

- I'm in. - The Seroquel, avoid it.

And these are for when she's too down.

You gotta watch me, tell me when to medicate.

- What, you won't know yourself? - No.

Call the medics! We need help here!

Woman on radio: Special Agent Goodman now a hostage.

You shot a kid,

a 16-year-old boy.

There's a hospital less than 20 minutes from here.

I wanna move him.

You said you'd hand yourself over before anyone got hurt,

but you're still here.

There's a news report about JJ.

- What is this? - Tell 'em it is not true.

Fucking government. I knew it.

He's fine! Wounded boy's father executed the hostage.

FBI Commander ordered everyone in.

- - We've been betrayed!

Elizabeth Keane has broken the truce.

- You have to stop this. - Too late. Done.

- He saved our lives. -

Yeah.

What was his name?

Carrie, you're not yourself.

But you don't have my condition.

I'm dealing with it. I-I've been dealing with it

since I was 22.

She said no one at work could know. She's bipolar.

The mood of the country, it's not great.

Civil... war.

Madam President, please!

You have to put a stop to this!

It's only getting worse.

Is there no fucking line?

Ridiculous lies and accusations.

The White House is in crisis mode.

We're talking about information warfare.

Our country is under attack.

The time to rise up is now!

I swore an oath to protect it.

Just think of me as a light on the heavens,

a beacon steering you clear of the wrongs.

- - Look out! Stay calm!

- Killers! You're murderers! -

- Uhh! - You all right?

Yeah.

[telephone ringing, shouting continues in distance]

19 dead, three of them children.

Well, I tried.

I told you nobody was listening to me anymore.

Bullshit.

It's all you.

Planting a story, doctoring up fake accounts,

posting hundreds of tweets. Right outta your playbook.

I-I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.

You turned a clusterfuck into a goddamn massacre.

Hey, where... where... where do you think that I've been

for the last two months?

I've been hiding out in root cellars.

I don't have that kind of infrastructure anymore.

Not to mention...

Jesus Christ, I had talked...

I had talked to that family.

I spent time.

[siren continues wailing in distance]

Okay.

If not you, who then?

- - Sir, David Wellington called.

They need you back at the White House.

You could've stopped this.

I had you walking out the door.

[helicopter blades whirring in distance]

[man speaking indistinctly on TV]

Anson?

...but stayed heavily involved

in Cuban policy. Then in...

- - Anson.

- You in here? - Oh, fuck me.

Get out of my house.

This isn't a house.

I swear to fucking God.

You smell bad.

...students marching in the streets...

- Offer me a beer. - No.

Donna said she threw you out.

Why would you call her?

Because you wouldn't pick up the phone.

What do you think that means?

You took a sledgehammer to the family room?

I'm renovating.

What, are you a marriage counselor now?

How long you been out of work?

[man on TV speaking foreign language]

Three months.

Same as everybody.

You okay? Donna says you're falling apart,

but she says a lot of things.

Yeah, you know how Donna used to say

she thought I was fucking you, but...

That's 'cause I was fucking you.

- -

I'm putting a team together.

You're first on my list, so I need to know

if you're really losing it or just acting out.

Maslin was the ranking officer on the scene,

authorized to respond in real time to events

as they unfolded.

When a federal agent was executed,

he thought the situation had become too volatile

to continue at arms length.

I was three feet away from him.

He was not evaluating the volatility of the situation.

He lost a man. He overreacted.

Maslin deferred to the National Security Advisor

whenever he could, although it was

an unusual command structure to have in place

in a tactical situation.

Mr. Berenson was there at the President's request.

That was made clear, more than once.

Ma'am, I think there's a larger issue here we're ignoring.

- What's that? - If Brett O'Keefe wasn't

responsible for the fake news, and I don't think he was,

we need to consider the possibility

it originated overseas.

Overseas where?

Usual suspects.

So we're gonna blame the Russians for this, too.

I'm talking about information warfare.

Is there actual evidence of their involvement?

Nothing yet, but I know of some events in Eastern Europe

that looked remarkably similar.

The FBI shot a kid long before anyone manipulated the news.

That is on us. We can all

point fingers next week, it'll be a world of fun,

but this thing is still metastasizing on the ground.

What exactly is the event this evening?

A memorial service in Richmond.

We had rioting for most of the night.

- I'm sure we'll see it again. - Rioting or demonstrations?

- It's a fine line. - It certainly is.

After the memorial service,

there's a rally in front of the state capitol building.

We could be looking at thousands of people.

And support rallies in other cities,

- which could escalate. - What's our crowd control plan?

At this point, we're taking our cue

from local law enforcement.

I like your thinking, Tom.

When there's machine gunfire in the heart of historic Richmond,

I'll let the country know we took our cue

from local law enforcement.

We broke it, we bought it.

I want ideas on David's desk in an hour.

David, hold on a second. The more I think about it,

- the more I'm thinking Russia. - Saul... nobody appreciates

the experience you bring to the table more than me,

but you heard the President.

Right now, we're trying to prevent what was

once fondly known as the Capital of the Confederacy

- from burning to the ground. - It's what they do, David...

Exploit existing divisions wherever they find them.

I get that.

Just let us deal with this crisis first.

Then we'll look at the Russian angle, okay?

I need a plane.

Simone Martin was in Hazelton, West Virginia, with $50,000

the day before McClendon died... that we know.

But was she aware of what she was doing,

or did David Wellington just tell her to dead drop the cash?

My guess is the latter.

So we're pretending to be prison guards.

- Yeah, or their cousins. - We think 50 grand is bullshit

for killing a General. We want real money.
