Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

- Matice, this is Dr. Ryan. - What you a doctor of?

Economics.

Cool.

This is an international organization.

They have cells in France, Yemen, Syria.

His name is Suleiman.

So how come you're the only one

that knows about this mystery man?

I was just following the money.

9/11 cost half a million dollars.

Whatever he's planning is a hell of a lot worse.

Paris was only the beginning.

I can't go to Yemen. I'm an analyst.

I don't interrogate people, I write reports.

Get on the plane.

You just try to look casual,

like you know what you're doing.

I do know what I'm doing.

Good. Tell your face.

Doc, do me a favor. Watch your muzzle awareness.

Got kids that think I'm an astronaut.

For a guy who works

behind a desk, you seem to like the field.

- Could've stopped it. - Oh, really?

You have a cape on under that shirt?

Suleiman is trying to sneak a dirty bomb into the hospital.

You're looking at a nuclear fallout

that could kill hundreds of thousands.

This is it. We got him.

As I'm sure you've heard,

Greer's getting transferred.

Moscow. Deputy chief of station.

- Is that it? - See you around, Bright Boy.

I want you to be the head of T-FAD.

Before he transferred, Greer made this read book for you.

You impressed a lot of people

with your work on the task force.

Congratulations.

- And good luck. - Thank you, sir.

Excuse me, officers.

It's probably none of my business...

but there is a young woman walking back there with a man.

They were arguing, and he got a little rough with her.

Where?

Behind me. Over there.

You're late.

You had to get a room on the seventh fucking floor?

What's all this?

Oh, if we're caught by the FSB...

we're lovers who met online.

You're not my type, General.

Do you have any water?

On the table.

You need a personal trainer, I have your guy.

He used to be in Spetsnaz, then KGB.

Now he runs a gym.

Yeah, that'd go over real well.

Open it.

For your son.

- What about my wife? - The deal was first your son,

then, if you continue to provide valuable intelligence,

we can talk about your wife.

But we're not there yet.

You want to tell me about this?

Looks like a rocket.

Come on, Mikhail.

You're telling me the Kremlin is not behind that?

I don't see any markings.

What makes you think it's Russian?

This was taken a month ago.

The ship is the Almeta.

It delivered the rocket and the payload

- to the South China Sea. - Flag is Cyprus.

You know Russia uses Cypriot-flagged vessels

to disguise arms shipments to countries like Syria.

The company that owns this boat,

Vimalert, it's been used by the Kremlin before.

And what business does Russia have

launching rockets in the South China Sea?

Why? A test?

My concern is not the rocket, comrade.

It's what's on the rocket.

An unregistered satellite.

Currently in geosynchronous orbit over Venezuela.

I haven't heard anything about a satellite.

Can you find out?

This is the vessel number for the Almeta.

If it helps.

All right.

- You okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I might be coming down with a bug or something.

Mikhail.

The sooner, the better.

Hey. Asshole.

You went too far.

We know who you are.

We know what you are.

And we both have a job to do.

Did you think that was funny?

What did you do to him?

Nothing. I barely touched him.

Hey! Get up, asshole!

What do we do?

Get the car!

Where are we going?

Botkin Hospital.

What if he dies?

The Americans might think we did something to him.

Then, drive faster. I'm not doing the fucking paperwork.

Do you want to do the paperwork?

Let's go!

Russia confirms the successful firing

of its new hypersonic missile.

Putin claims it's invincible.

Russia's Defense Ministry announced

two of its nuclear-capable strategic bombers

arrived in Venezuela this week.

The Venezuelan crisis has entered a new phase.

If Russia continues talks about these undetectable missiles,

China will likely feel threatened.

It's been reported that China has up to 300 nuclear warheads.

The CIA strongly believes North Korea has accumulated

enough nuclear material to create

one or possibly two weapons.

So... the question will always be:

With what lens are you watching the news?

Let's say you just got home from work, you get through the door,

you turn on the TV, and that's what you see.

What would you assume is the most

major threat on the world stage?

Anybody? Just call it out. You don't have to raise your hand.

- Definitely Russia. - "Definitely Russia."

That's confident. I like it.

Who says Russia? Anybody agree with her?

Hands. Okay, great. Who else?

- China. - Stop yelling at me, but China is a good answer.

Anybody? Who else? China?

- North Korea? - North Korea.

Any North Korea takers?

And, uh, Venezuela? Anybody?

No? Oh, yeah. One guy in the back,

little worried about Venezuela.

Everybody's cool with Venezuela? No threat? Okay.

Let me ask you this: Which one of these places can claim

to have the largest oil deposit on the planet?

More than Saudi, more than Iran.

Wow. Okay.

What about things like gold?

More than all the mines in Africa combined?

The fact is that Venezuela is arguably

the single-greatest resource

of oil and minerals on the planet.

So, why is this country

in the midst of one of the greatest humanitarian crises

in modern history?

Let's meet President Nicolas Reyes.

After rising to power on a wave of nationalist pride,

in a mere six years,

this guy has crippled the national economy by half.

He has raised the poverty rate by almost 400%.

Luckily for the rest of us, he's up for reelection.

So, who's running against him?

This is Gloria Bonalde.

Now, Gloria is a history professor turned activist.

She's running against him on a social justice platform

and on the strength of, in my humble opinion,

just not being an asshole.

Analyst predictions, as of today,

have the chances of Venezuela's total economic collapse

at 87%.

On the news, they'll call it a crisis.

But on the world stage, they'll call it a failed state.

If you've never heard that term, other examples

of a failed state in recent history

are Yemen, Iraq and Syria.

And if that's not bad enough news for you,

well, Venezuela is also the only one of these places

within 30-minute range from the U.S.

of next-gen nuclear missiles.

You will not hear about any of this on the news,

because the biggest players on the world stage

do not want you to.

To them, unstable governments are nothing more

than the greatest of opportunities.

So, Russia, China

can never be the most major threat

until countries like Venezuela leave the door open

to our very own backyard.

So,

how'd I do?

Oh, it was good. Very good.

You may want to tone it down with the whole "asshole" bit.

Folks on the Hill tend to at least

attempt to hide their bias.

Sad day in politics when a senator can't get a seat.

Told you, you should make those pins bigger.

Don't be an asshole.

Come on. We're gonna be late for dinner.

Yeah.
