Homeland

Previously on Homeland...

- Maggie around? - Uh, no.

Don't call her. She's... She's talking to a lawyer.

- About? - Franny.

You can't provide her with a stable home, so we are going to.

- Carrie. - Stay the fuck away from my kid.

Dante's missing. I can't go, then.

This can put the whole operation at risk.

Then I must plan to never see you again.

Simone. Simone.

Mr. Allen is in federal custody, Senator,

charged with violations of the Espionage Act.

And he's talking.

So far, he's confirmed a devastating account

of Russian interference in our democratic process,

including feeding you and your committee

a steady diet of manipulated information.

You've been played, Sam.

- Sorry, can you help me? - Sure.

I need to pull my daughter out a little early today.

- Hey, sweetheart. You ready? - Yeah.

- Hey, Dante? - Yeah.

Can I call you back in, like, five minutes?

Yevgeny's here. Lock down the hospital.

Dante! Fuck.

Hey, you need to go back to class.

I love you, baby. I'll see you after school.

- No, Mommy. No, Mommy. No. - No, I gotta go. I gotta go.

Hey!

- What did you do? -

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.

I'm 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.

You're doing great. Doc says this is the last one, okay?

You ready, Carrie? We're gonna start prepping

for your third and final treatment.

Same procedure as before.

Let's get started.

Today, we've got a bilateral application

with dexmedetomidine infusion for her lithium at 2cc's

and 5 cc's of Succinylcholine.

So far, the patient's responded well to the procedure,

other than slight memory loss immediately

following the application.

Just like before, okay?

Counting backwards from 100.

100, 99,

98...

97...

96...

Ready for oxygen.

Giving Succinylcholine now.

Vitals are normal.

Current is good. EEG is good.

Everyone clear.

Apply stimulus.

- -

Seizure induced.

- Yeah, there you go. - Mm-hmm.

- - Something wrong, sir?

Uh, no, it's fine. Tie's too red.

Maybe the wrong kind of red.

Sir, he's been downstairs for half an hour.

He's kept me waiting longer than that more than once.

They both have.

He can wait.

- Sorry to keep you. - Mr. Vice President.

Want some coffee? Something stronger?

- - It's early,

but Kyle can get you whatever you like.

I'm fine. Thank you.

Ah. Please, sit.

Am I mistaken, or is this your first visit here?

- Um, my first time. - Ah.

It was built for the superintendent

of the Naval Observatory back in 1893...

until the Chief of Naval Operations

decided he liked it so much, he took it for himself.

That rank has its prerogatives.

I'm usually the one who's summoned.

Something important must be happening.

Last night,

the Attorney General called the President

about a document Senator Paley wanted the AG to sign.

What kind of document?

Invoking the 25th Amendment.

Hmm.

Declaring the President unfit for office.

The Senator thinks enlisting the President's Cabinet

will be easier than getting Congress to impeach.

He claims four members have signed on already.

Four short of the majority required.

Who are the four?

Well, I was hoping you could tell me.

I wouldn't have asked if I knew.

So you, yourself, haven't been approached.

No. In fact, I was under the assumption

that Paley had eased off once he saw the Russia file.

He had. Dante Allen's death put him back on the warpath.

And how worried are we?

Depends.

On what?

You, sir.

Because Congress can't ratify the 25th Amendment

- without my signature. - Correct.

Even if he's got a majority of the Cabinet,

Paley can't get this done without you.

Must gall her,

that the survival of her Presidency

could come down to me.

The President trusts your judgment.

Trusts my judgment?

That's a very generous interpretation

of our relationship.

You're being a little sensitive, aren't you?

Maybe.

Still, I can't remember one time she demonstrated

any real interest in my opinion or solicited my advice.

But I took an oath

to defend this country against all enemies,

foreign and domestic.

And I won't let the President's indifference

interfere with that.

- - So...

you tell her she's got nothing to worry about,

at least not from me.

Thank you, sir.

- She'll appreciate it. - Mm-hmm.

[siren wailing in distance, horn honks]

- - Saul, quickly.

Thanks for coming.

I couldn't think of another excuse to get out of the house.

He thinks I've been subbing all this time

for another professor out with the flu. Please, sit.

So I couldn't get those damn flight logs out of my head.

- What about 'em? - Two private aircraft booked

out of the same private airfield within 24 hours of each other?

Tail numbers on both planes blocked

by an identical onboard system.

Let's just say the timing of Dante's murder

puts Yevgeny on the second flight.

Question is, who's on the first flight?

Could be anybody in his network.

Or Simone.

Simone's at the bottom of a lake somewhere.

What if she isn't?

If Yevgeny was gonna kill her,

why not do it on the spot like he did with Dante?

No, Saul. He couldn't leave her behind.

It's a love story.

It's always a love story with you.

11 years ago, they were both living in Paris.

She, a doctoral candidate at the Sorbonne.

He, running a small group of Western residencies

- for the SVR. - Still, you can't...

you can't be sure the young spy met the young graduate student.

Actually, I can.

Simone's thesis advisor at the time

has a vivid memory of her boyfriend...

Tall, dark, and Russian.

- You good? - I'm good.

- Your lawyer's here. - Oh, thanks.

Morning.

Hey, Rhonda. You said there was news.

There is.
