Homeland

Previously on Homeland...

This is Charlie Echo Four.

We are at the crash site.

Nothing. No pulse.

The president's dead.

All of them. No survivors.

There was an assassination

ordered by Haissam Haqqani

carried out by Taliban forces.

Saul...

President Warner is dead.

So is President Daoud.

Their helicopter went down in the Korengal.

There were Taliban in the area.

You think I did it?

I need to know.

No.

I did not.

If the Taliban did it, the Taliban did it.

But if the ISI did it, I want to know.

If G'ulom did it, I want to know.

If the pilot flew the helicopter

into the side of the fucking mountain

because he thought Jesus was talking to him,

I want to know that, too, because it matters.

It fucking matters. It determines what we do next.

Carrie?

You have to get the flight recorder.

- We're leaving. - No, first get the recorder.

They're gonna destroy the site?

The vice president made the call.

What about the black box, the flight recorder?

Did you tell them what the mechanic said about problems with the airframes?

Carrie, we are out of time.

Max, tell me you have the black box.

Yes.

Max, tell me what's happening.

Can you hear me?

Max?

- - Get back, get back!

The World Trade Center,

Tower Number One is on fire!

I missed something once before. I won't...

I can't let that happen again!

An American prisoner of war has been turned.

You're a disgrace to your nation,

Sergeant Nicholas Brody.

You're a traitor and a terrorist,

and now it's time to pay for that.

Are you accusing me of something?

You really do not remember?

Remember what?

We may be dealing with a compromised officer here.

You had a relationship complicated enough to lie about.

Yeah, it's complicated.

I lost seven months of my life.

To my Russian handler?

Is our strategy working?

And you will become the focus of an investigation

that will define the rest of your life.

That not every problem in the Middle East

deserves a military solution.

Because this whole country went stupid crazy after 9/11.

Carrie, you're not yourself.

I'm still putting the pieces together.

Please, God, tell me you have it.

Is there no fucking line?

I believe you.

No one else will.

The Cabinet met early this morning

as soon as word reached Washington

that President Warner was confirmed dead

at the site of a downed helicopter

in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.

Both houses of Congress met in an emergency session today.

They declared Wednesday

a national day of mourning for the President,

and plans for his funeral have commenced,

though his remains have not yet returned

to the United States.

None of that has discouraged the thousands of people

gathered outside the White House today,

expressing their devastation over the loss of a man

who was president for only a few short months

but was a great statesman

and a servant of the American people for over 40 years.

They'll pay you.

Big money.

They'll pay you big money for me.

Okay, okay.

- -

Hey! Hey!

I'm here!

I'm here! I'm here!

Eight seconds to air.

Five, four, three, two...

Good evening.

In the words of Lyndon Baines Johnson,

"All I have I would have given gladly

not to be standing here today."

At 4:52 this afternoon,

Justice Harlan Crawford swore me in

to the office of President of the United States.

It is with a grieving heart

that I take this nation's solemn oath

to preserve, protect, and defend

the Constitution of these United States.

Kabul's on the uplink,

and the Joint Chiefs want to talk to you

about moving around some hardware.

What does that mean?

Redirecting the Fifth Fleet into the Arabian Sea.

So they want to surge troops?

No, it's about readiness for another attack

or if we need to evacuate the embassy.

You know, they're saying I had Warner's chopper shot down.

- Palace coup. - Who's they?

Fucking Buzzfeed, somebody, I don't know.

There's gonna be a lot more of that.

I'd try to tune it all out.

I just pledged the hand of justice,

Old Testament style, to the whole damn country.

Now, somebody in there better come up with something

for me to do and quickly.

Please.

Where's Kabul?

We're having trouble with the connection, sir.

It's going to be a minute.

Still nothing?

I don't know what the fucking problem is.

JSOC's stonewalling me.

Any word on Max?

QRF searched both crash sites. They didn't find a body.

- So he's alive. - Let's hope.

How many units are out looking for him?

We've got drones in the air,

but it's over 12 hours,

and the search radius is only getting bigger.

JSOC's still looking, though, right?

Not on the ground.

I've got bases, the embassy,

this place, all targets.

That's got to be our priority right now.

We're up.

- Saul. - We're doing what we can do.

That's bullshit. I sent him in there.

We both did.

Mr. President,

we apologize for keeping you waiting.

Mike, do you have a minute?

It'd be really great if you could look at...

Tech cleaned up the tape

of Carrie and Yevgeny at the mosque.

I think you need to listen to it.

Can't do it. I'll try and get to you later.

[indistinct chatter on recording]

Hey, anything on Max Piotrowski?

Whole sector's gone quiet.

They shot down the fucking president.

- They're gonna go to ground. - How about Kabul?

Maybe they're referencing him. He was carrying a...

A flight recorder, I know.

Uh, we're listening to hundreds of calls.

We got automated searches on thousands more.

He's on the list, but it's a long list.

Can I see the keywords?

Print me a copy.

Hello?

No, I can't even get through.

The secure lines are overloaded.

I'm... I'm trying. I...

This is everything?

Hang on.

The Taliban knows how to avoid these.

You want to add something, be my guest.

We got a dozen guys coming from Fort Meade.

We'll have more ears on it then.

Sorry, uh, Bagram SIGINT's not calling me back.

Is there anybody you can try in Kandahar?

We put together a timeline of everything we know

once the president landed at Bagram.

It's incomplete, but it's a start.

Alan Yager, Vanessa Kroll, FBI.

- Hi, Alan. - Alan's my Deputy

Chief of Station... He'll get your team set up.

Great, Ray Auerbach, Marshall Carter

are the legats from Islamabad and Abu Dhabi.

The three of us will need doors that close.
