1

00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:17,160

2
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,328
What's the point?

3
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:19,913
- In waiting a week?
- Yeah.

4
00:01:19,996 --> 00:01:23,041
I will no longer be jet-lagged.
I will be able to focus

5
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:26,586
and graciously accept your help
getting me on my feet.

6
00:01:26,669 --> 00:01:29,672
But the first week is when you do that.
That's when you get on your feet.

7
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:36,513
It wouldn't kill you to take a couple days
and just like... sit here and think.

8
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,098
Figure out the next move.

9
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:42,185
Maybe it's Kabul.

10
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:43,895
Maybe that's the next move.

11
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:48,525
Oh, you think the nation of Afghanistan
is not big enough for the both of us?

12
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:50,693
- It isn't.
- What the fuck is this?

13
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,947
- Put a few in my wallet.
- It should say "ambassador."

14
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:56,783
- Not yet it shouldn't.
- I'm gonna write "ambassador" on there.

15
00:02:01,996 --> 00:02:07,001
Hello? Hi. She thinks she has to wait
for the embassy in Kabul to open

16
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:09,504
before she can call herself "ambassador."

17
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:12,632
Well, that's really fucking stupid.

18
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:19,514
Kate, it's Tim.

19
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:27,105
He's writing "ambassador" on my cards.
It looks like "ambulance."

20
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:29,816
<i>Off the coast of Iran, a massive explosion</i>

21
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,986
<i>aboard British aircraft carrier
HMS</i> Courageous

22
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:36,072
<i>has killed
at least 25 Royal Navy personnel.</i>

23
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:37,796
<i>Britain's Ministry of Defence is expected</i>

24
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,718
<i>- to give a statement imminently.</i>
- What the fuck?

25
00:02:39,742 --> 00:02:42,453
- Tim, hang on a sec.
<i>- Earliest reports indicate the damage...</i>

26
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:43,371
Hello?

27
00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:45,039
<i>- Ms. Wyler?</i>
- Yes.

28
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:47,458
<i>I have the chief of staff calling
from the White House.</i>

29
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:49,127
- He's right here.
<i>- Ma'am...</i>

30
00:02:49,961 --> 00:02:51,296
- Hey, I'm back.
- Hello?

31
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:54,591
- Why?
- Yeah.

32
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:57,886
No, I get them going after us,
but why the Brits?

33
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,763
Kate, they want a briefing.

34
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:02,807
- At State?
- No, the White House.

35
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:05,935
Okay. I gotta go.
White House wants Hal to brief.

36
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:08,688
It'll take me ten minutes
to prep him. I'll call you back.

37
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:09,771
Katie.

38
00:03:10,607 --> 00:03:12,108
Not me, you.
39
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,616
Hello?

40
00:03:26,205 --> 00:03:27,205
Hey.

41
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:31,502
- Come on in.
- Can your guy make two copies of this?

42
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:34,797
I made a list of who in Tehran
could order a strike on a British vessel

43
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:35,965
and who seemed pissed off

44
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,509
- we took their tanker.
- I think they're all pissed off.

45
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,637
But some tweeted about it
and not who you'd expect.

46
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,055
- Billie.
- We gotta go.

47
00:03:42,138 --> 00:03:43,973
I guess you can share one.

48
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:45,600
This is Katherine Wyler.

49
00:03:45,683 --> 00:03:48,061
She was our number two
in Beirut and Islamabad.

50
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,897
When we seized the tanker last week,

51
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:55,109
the Iranian regime signaled its outrage
in a couple of unusual ways.
52
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:56,027
What is she doing?

53
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,950
She knows a lot about Iran. I didn't get
into what we wanted to discuss.

54
00:03:58,988 --> 00:04:01,324
This would be easier
if you each had your own copy.

55
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:02,408
Have a seat.

56
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:03,534
Okay.

57
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:09,082
- How's Hal?
- He's good.

58
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:10,765
- He's a good man.
- Thank you.

59
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:14,087
- Did great work in Afghanistan.
- Sure did.

60
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:17,799
- We don't have anyone in London.
- Mm-hm.

61
00:04:17,882 --> 00:04:20,426
- A bad time not to have anyone in London.
- Right.

62
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:23,763
Twenty-five of their sailors get killed
because Iran wants to send me a message.

63
00:04:23,846 --> 00:04:26,432
- We don't know it was Iran.
- Whoever it was,

64
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:29,435
we need someone substantial
to be the ambassador in London.

65
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:33,189
- He'll be great. He's a great choice.
- I'm sorry?

66
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,358
Hal. And you didn't have to ask me.

67
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:39,028
- We worked in different countries before.
- We're not talking about Hal.

68
00:04:41,322 --> 00:04:44,909
You're experienced.
You'd signal we're taking this seriously.

69
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:47,287
You'd be at every funeral, memorial...

70
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,080
Sorry, I'm going to Kabul.

71
00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:50,748
We'll take care of that.

72
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,585
They'll love Hal in London.
He's good at all that.

73
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,296
- It's not gonna be Hal.
- Why not?

74
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:59,132
Because he called
the secretary of state a war criminal.

75
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:01,509
I promised
I wouldn't send him anywhere ever again.

76
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:05,930
I realize London
has a ceremonial component to it
77
00:05:06,014 --> 00:05:08,808
and you were ready
to do more substantive work in Kabul.

78
00:05:08,891 --> 00:05:13,813
I'm hoping to save a shred of what
we spent 2400 American lives building.

79
00:05:13,896 --> 00:05:15,857
It feels substantive.

80
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:18,985
- Billie.
- I'm just saying it's hard to imagine.

81
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:21,571
- She can't imagine it.
- The president is asking you to serve

82
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:25,325
as ambassador to the United Kingdom.
We have a plane waiting.

83
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:26,488
We'd like you to get on it.

84
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:34,334
It is an honor and a privilege.

85
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:36,919
That's more like it.

86
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:45,053
It's exactly what they wanna hear. They've
been hosting garden parties for 50 years.

87
00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:47,138
The president
is asking you to take it up a notch.

88
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:48,221
Mm-hm.

89
00:05:48,264 --> 00:05:51,934
- He picked you because you're experienced.
- He wants an experienced person
90
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,687
- to show up and look sad.
- You're such a fucking snot.

91
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:56,981
There was an argument
between Billie and the president

92
00:05:57,065 --> 00:06:00,318
about whether my mission
was to look guilty or just sad.

93
00:06:00,401 --> 00:06:02,945
People died. Showing up matters.

94
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:05,031
I am an emotional support dog.

95
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:10,578
- It was probably Iran.
- Please. They're broke.

96
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:13,724
They don't want to bomb somebody for
taking their oil. They want the oil back.

97
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:15,541
- So who?
- Russia, China, ISIS.

98
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,336
Russia is not gonna torpedo
a British aircraft carrier.

99
00:06:18,419 --> 00:06:20,004
- Why not?
- Because they're busy.

100
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:22,882
Takes the focus off Eastern Europe.
Gets the president bogged down

101
00:06:22,965 --> 00:06:24,965
in the Middle East,
makes him look like an asshole.
102
00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:27,720
It's a British vessel.
You don't wanna consider the possibility

103
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:30,139
it was attacked
because someone doesn't like the British?

104
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:34,143
- My hands are swelling. This is not good.
- Whoever it was, the Gulf is on fire.

105
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:38,731
The president is sending you to stop a war
before it starts, not... butter a crumpet.

106
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:48,798
White House wants you in the SCIF.

107
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:51,536
We're screening imagery
from the Pentagon, NSA and NGA,

108
00:06:51,619 --> 00:06:53,722
- see if we can figure out who did it.
- I have a guess.

109
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,790
- We're not guessing.
- My guess is Iran.

110
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:57,291
<i>Is the door closed?</i>

111
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,878
- Yeah.
<i>- Still seeing that girl?</i>

112
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:03,548
Twenty-five British sailors just died.

113
00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:07,844
<i>Gonna tell you something five people know.
You're six. I don't want her to be seven.</i>

114
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:12,890
- I won't tell her.
<i>- We're gonna lose the vice president.</i>

115
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:15,143
Like, die?

116
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:18,855
<i>Resign. Something will come out,
she'll get knocked around for awhile,</i>

117
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:20,898
<i>then step down. Maybe six months.</i>

118
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,985
- Whoa.
<i>- Yeah. So we need somebody else.</i>

119
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:26,154
<i>And I have a few ideas.</i>

120
00:07:26,237 --> 00:07:29,115
<i>But one of them...
I want you to check her out.</i>

121
00:07:29,198 --> 00:07:30,908
<i>Tell me if I'm crazy.</i>

122
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:34,704
<i>Her corridor rep is fantastic,
but she's a little...</i>

123
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:36,664
- What?
<i>- I don't know.</i>

124
00:07:36,747 --> 00:07:39,459
<i>- Needs a haircut.</i>
- Pfft. No.

125
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:41,752
<i>I'm not asking
for "return of the kingmaker."</i>

126
00:07:41,836 --> 00:07:46,048
<i>- Just take a look. Tell me what you think.</i>
- When you call me that, it makes it worse.
127
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,426
<i>- Kingmaker? I'm sorry.</i>
- No, you're not.

128
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:52,472
<i>You're right. I'm not. I'm asking you
a favor and you're being a pain in my ass.</i>

129
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,474
And you're being a bully. No means no.

130
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:58,936
<i>You can't say no. I put her on a plane.
She's gonna be your new ambassador.</i>

131
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:08,863
Thank you.

132
00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:13,784
Welcome to London, Ambassador Wyler.

133
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:16,287
I'm Stuart Hayford,
your deputy chief of mission.

134
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:19,540
I guess this is what
arranged marriage feels like.

135
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:22,919
- Gwen Hempill from the Foreign Office.
- Such a pleasure.

136
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:25,463
I'm so sorry.
What a terrible thing that's happened.

137
00:08:25,546 --> 00:08:28,216
Ambassador Wyler, it is an honor.

138
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:31,010
Call me Hal. One ambassador is plenty.

139
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,387
- Have the numbers changed?
- Twenty-eight casualties.
140
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,306
Search and rescue is still looking.

141
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:26,524
Jesus Christ.

142
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,739
This is Frances Munning,
the residence manager.

143
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:36,492
- Welcome to Winfield House, ambassador.
- Thank you.

144
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:40,037
Hello, everyone.

145
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:41,122
Hello, ma'am.

146
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:45,918
- And welcome to you, Ambassador Wyler.
- Call me Hal. One ambassador's plenty.

147
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:47,169
Perhaps Mr. Wyler.

148
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:49,213
Please. Follow me.

149
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,301
We gonna do this every time?

150
00:09:58,806 --> 00:10:03,477
The house was purchased by Barbara Hutton
shortly before her marriage to Cary Grant.

151
00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:06,731
Big piece of land
for right in the middle of London.

152
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:09,400
Miss Hutton moved to Winfield
with her young son
153
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:12,194
just after the abduction
of the Lindbergh baby.

154
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:16,240
Regent's Park provided,
you know, a reassuring perimeter.

155
00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:20,161
The only private garden in London
larger than Winfield is Buckingham Palace.

156
00:10:20,244 --> 00:10:21,662
Oh, for God's sake.

157
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,541
<i>The vice president was missing</i>

158
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,209
<i>from yesterday's Situation Room meeting.</i>

159
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:29,378
<i>Her office cited schedule constraints,</i>

160
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:32,757
<i>but there's a growing sense of frustration
among supporters...</i>

161
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,885
The president is talking to the PM
at 12:00. He wants her on the call.

162
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,763
- Holy shit.
- Fancy.

163
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:41,891
- Ambassador Vayle wasn't on those calls.
- Yeah.

164
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:45,561
Everything all right?

165
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:49,690
I showed them around.
She checked the sheets in the Adams Suite.
166
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,235
- Okay.
- To see if they were on the bed.

167
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:56,905
Were they?

168
00:10:58,449 --> 00:10:59,450
Yes.

169
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,874
After your call
with the president and prime minister,

170
00:11:06,957 --> 00:11:10,461
you'll go to the Foreign Office
and present a copy of your credentials.

171
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:14,006
Is the secretary of state
on the call with the president?

172
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:16,425
Ganon? He shouldn't be.

173
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,302
- Neither should I.
- He's not.

174
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:21,347
In the afternoon,
you'll visit the Greenwich Naval Memorial.

175
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:23,270
To lay a wreath
in honor of the fallen sailors.

176
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:25,434
- Right.
- And at the end of the day,

177
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:29,146
we'll have a rehearsal for
the official presentation of credentials.

178
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,192
- Why are we doing it twice?
- You can't start work

179
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:35,795
until you give a copy of your credentials
to the Foreign Office.

180
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:39,365
Then you'll submit them officially
at Buckingham Palace.

181
00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:42,118
We try to do a dry run with all the gear.

182
00:11:42,993 --> 00:11:45,621
There have been issues
getting in and out of the carriage.

183
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:49,333
- Carriage?
- Mrs. Vayle split her skirt up the back.

184
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,919
- Then the horses...
- Nothing to worry about.

185
00:11:53,421 --> 00:11:55,506
Did you pack a dress, maybe tea-length?

186
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:57,591
No.

187
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:00,553
- Pippa.
- We have a stylist.

188
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:03,639
She'll come by the embassy.
You get a top hat and tails.

189
00:12:03,722 --> 00:12:05,975
This is today? When is the ceremony?

190
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:09,895
We're not sure exactly, but if we can run
the rehearsal, we'd like to.
191
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,606
So you can photograph it?

192
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:15,401
Inviting a couple reporters?

193
00:12:16,152 --> 00:12:19,113
- One. She's good, she'll do a feature.
- Push it.

194
00:12:19,196 --> 00:12:22,491
Give them a break.
They need a picture for the website.

195
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:25,744
- On a horse?
- They'll do before and after photos.

196
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:29,498
First-time ambassador.
Lean into the Cinderella thing.

197
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,083
I am not Cinderella.

198
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:35,671
I'm here for 30 funerals. The only
tea-length garment I packed is a burka.

199
00:12:35,754 --> 00:12:38,257
I have a black suit
and another black suit,

200
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:41,886
and I'm not getting dressed
by someone named Pippa

201
00:12:41,969 --> 00:12:44,263
so a women's magazine
can ask who I'm wearing

202
00:12:44,346 --> 00:12:46,348
and what advice I have for little girls.

203
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,851
It's fine. We'll ditch it.

204
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:51,562
- Great.
- We're gonna head over to the embassy.

205
00:12:51,645 --> 00:12:53,647
If you'd like to join us,
sit in on a briefing?

206
00:12:53,731 --> 00:12:54,899
- Sure.
- Okay, Hal?

207
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:00,905
I think I'm gonna stretch my legs.

208
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:13,086
My husband was an ambassador for
a long time. This will be an adjustment.

209
00:13:13,167 --> 00:13:14,335
Of course.

210
00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:16,253
- Him tagging along is not...
- Copy.

211
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:20,883
- Let's get the cars.
- She'll need a minute to change.

212
00:13:20,966 --> 00:13:22,218
Uh-huh.

213
00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:23,301
Into...?

214
00:13:24,678 --> 00:13:27,139
Something... more?

215
00:13:33,562 --> 00:13:35,481
Get your feet off the furniture.

216
00:13:35,564 --> 00:13:38,359
Barbara Hutton fucked Cary Grant
on this table.

217
00:13:38,442 --> 00:13:40,444
They want you at the memorial at 3:00.

218
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:42,248
I'll have them call
if we're running behind.

219
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:44,740
You are no longer in charge
of my movements.

220
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:48,827
Yeah, but I don't wanna wait for an hour
because no one can find you.

221
00:13:52,581 --> 00:13:53,749
Not great.

222
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:59,213
Call Darya, tell her to stop saying,
"Afghan women's health."

223
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:02,007
She has to use words
like "atrocity, dismemberment."

224
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:04,927
- Who's she talking to?
- I don't know, UNHCR.

225
00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:06,554
Someone in Pakistan.

226
00:14:09,306 --> 00:14:10,683
"Sit in on a briefing"?

227
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,310
It would have been rude of him
not to offer.

228
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:14,728
You didn't have to say yes.

229
00:14:14,812 --> 00:14:18,065
Did you or did you not ask me
to help get your feet on the ground

230
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:20,067
or your ass in the saddle
or whatever it was?

231
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:21,318
Is that okay?

232
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:23,612
- Better.
- Sure? I can do the pit wash.

233
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:24,780
You don't need it.

234
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:30,578
- Is it bad?
- No, it's good.

235
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:32,037
Oh, my God, stop. Stop.

236
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:34,790
You're perfect.

237
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,709
Fuck you. Am I okay?

238
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:42,464
What are you gonna say to him?
The prime minister.

239
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:45,843
I am a listener on the call.

240
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:48,888
That is the opposite
of ass in the saddle, Kate.

241
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:52,057
More than once, I've told you,
when you land in a new post,

242
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:55,269
there is some wisdom
in spending a week or a month

243
00:14:55,352 --> 00:14:59,440
- with your mouth shut, listening.
- I never did it. It was a dumb idea.

244
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:01,108
Rayburn is gonna talk about NATO,

245
00:15:01,191 --> 00:15:03,319
but you're here
to patch things up with the Brits.

246
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:05,946
- Keep the focus tight.
- I'm not doing this the way you would.

247
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:07,990
That's fine. Just don't do it wrong.

248
00:15:36,435 --> 00:15:38,020
Morning, ambassador. Morning, sir.

249
00:15:38,103 --> 00:15:39,855
Welcome to Embassy London.

250
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:42,566
We'll show you your office later.

251
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,735
We need to get you on the call
with the president.

252
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:04,004
Good morning, ambassador. Eidra Park.
Welcome to Embassy London.

253
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,506
CIA chief of station.

254
00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:08,425
- You are having a day.
- We are.

255
00:16:08,509 --> 00:16:11,011
These are the latest images
of the carrier.

256
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,098
- From?
- Air Force drones in the Gulf.

257
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:15,766
And this is yesterday,

258
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:19,645
HMS<i> Courageous</i> on its way to joint
exercises with us in the Indian Ocean.

259
00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,772
They clocked some instability
in a propeller

260
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:24,942
and diverted to the Royal Navy Base
in Bahrain for repairs.

261
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:27,277
- Nobody spent a long time planning this.
- No.

262
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:28,946
- Weapon fragments?
- Not yet.

263
00:16:29,029 --> 00:16:30,990
The investigation hasn't ramped up.

264
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:33,909
- Still pulling bodies out of the water.
- Yeah. I've got her.

265
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:37,496
The president and the prime minister
will be on in a second.

266
00:16:38,914 --> 00:16:39,915
Thank you.

267
00:16:43,210 --> 00:16:44,128
<i>Good morning.</i>
268
00:16:44,211 --> 00:16:46,547
<i>I have President Rayburn
and Ambassador-designate Wyler</i>

269
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:47,881
<i>for Prime Minister Trowbridge.</i>

270
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:50,676
<i>Thank you so much.
I'll connect the prime minister.</i>

271
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,479
<i>Mr. President?</i>

272
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:54,847
<i>Nicol, what a fucking horror show.</i>

273
00:16:58,434 --> 00:16:59,893
Sorry about the wall.

274
00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:01,311
It's frightfully bare.

275
00:17:01,979 --> 00:17:04,565
There was a Jackson Pollock up there.

276
00:17:04,648 --> 00:17:07,484
It was a bit of a zing
among all the old masters.

277
00:17:08,068 --> 00:17:11,155
- The Vayles took most of their art home.
- Mm-hm.

278
00:17:11,238 --> 00:17:14,950
They left the Titian in the drawing room.
Donation to the house.

279
00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:16,869
- Generous.
- Isn't it?

280
00:17:17,911 --> 00:17:20,956
Have you and Ambassador Wyler
arranged for the shipping of yours,
281
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,333
or is that something with which
I could be of assistance?

282
00:17:25,127 --> 00:17:26,462
Our art?

283
00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:27,545
Mm-hm.

284
00:17:28,005 --> 00:17:31,008
Kate's a career officer.
Not a political appointee.

285
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:38,390
Ronald Vayle, he became ambassador,

286
00:17:38,474 --> 00:17:41,435
because he raised $2 million
for the president.

287
00:17:41,518 --> 00:17:44,605
Like most American ambassadors
in gorgeous European posts.

288
00:17:44,688 --> 00:17:45,564
Goodness.

289
00:17:45,647 --> 00:17:50,069
Kate and I are like British ambassadors.
Lot of experience in crisis zones.

290
00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:53,238
- No art.
- I'm so sorry.

291
00:17:53,864 --> 00:17:54,990
We're okay with it.

292
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:59,078
Could you direct me toward my driver?

293
00:17:59,161 --> 00:18:01,163
- Pardon?
- Driver of my car.
294
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:05,417
I'm sorry, you don't have one. Or a car.
Mrs. Vayle purchased a Jaguar

295
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:08,879
and hired a driver,
but she's had it sent back to the States.

296
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,132
The Jaguar. Not the driver.

297
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:15,803
Shall I call you a taxi?

298
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:23,685
Death toll's up to 32, and the president
offered to carpet-bomb Tehran.

299
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:27,564
- What did the PM say?
- He was polite but I'm sure he's worried.

300
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:30,192
I'll try to dial it down when we speak
to the foreign secretary.

301
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:33,403
That could take a moment.
To get to the foreign secretary.

302
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:35,572
Secretary of state hasn't called him yet.

303
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:39,868
And likely won't until he's had a chance
to speak with the Saudis and the UAE.

304
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,788
- Secretary Ganon hasn't called him yet?
- No.

305
00:18:42,871 --> 00:18:44,081
So I can't call him.

306
00:18:44,164 --> 00:18:46,250
Yeah, you really can't call anyone.
307
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:48,502
The whole thing is not ideal.

308
00:19:03,892 --> 00:19:05,060
This is your wing.

309
00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:12,818
Ladies and gentlemen,
Ambassador-designate Katherine Wyler.

310
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:14,862
- Welcome, ambassador.
- Welcome, ma'am.

311
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:17,114
- Nice to meet you.
- It's an honor, ma'am.

312
00:19:17,197 --> 00:19:19,199
- Nice to meet you. Wow.
- Nice to have you here.

313
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:23,537
- Morning. There are a lot of you. Hi.
- Welcome to the embassy.

314
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,790
Ma'am, I have Ambassador Wyler
on the phone for you.

315
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:32,379
- Would you like to take it in your office?
- Um...

316
00:19:32,462 --> 00:19:33,839
It's that one, right there.

317
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:35,631
Yup.

318
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:40,971
- I'll connect you.
- Thanks.

319
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:00,449
Hi.

320
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:02,951
- How did it go?
- Fine. What's wrong?

321
00:20:03,827 --> 00:20:06,413
- You had a driver in Beirut, right?
- Yes.

322
00:20:06,496 --> 00:20:10,042
This place has six gardeners,
and the wife doesn't get a car.

323
00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:11,668
<i>We were not married in Beirut.</i>

324
00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:14,338
I had a driver
because I was a deputy chief of mission.

325
00:20:14,421 --> 00:20:16,506
- None of the wives gets a car?
<i>- I swear to God.</i>

326
00:20:16,590 --> 00:20:19,801
I need to get out,
let people know you're here.

327
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,387
No, you don't.
Neither of us can do anything,

328
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:24,932
because Ganon isn't calling the Brits
till this afternoon.

329
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:25,891
What?

330
00:20:25,974 --> 00:20:28,518
Too busy whipping the Sunni coalition
into a frenzy.

331
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:30,437
He's a fucking moron.
332
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,647
<i>Well, he's my boss.</i>

333
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:32,731
He shouldn't be.

334
00:20:32,814 --> 00:20:35,317
- Did you call Darya?
<i>- No.</i>

335
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,736
- I will. I will.
<i>- I should be in Kabul.</i>

336
00:20:37,819 --> 00:20:40,113
Ganon isn't repairing
the North Atlantic Alliance.

337
00:20:40,197 --> 00:20:42,115
He's swinging his dick
around the Persian Gulf.

338
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:44,493
<i>Washington doesn't have
a UK problem, Kate.</i>

339
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:47,704
Washington has an Iran problem.
You're the one with the UK problem.

340
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:50,791
If you think the foreign secretary
needs attention, call him.

341
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:54,336
- Ganon would shit a live ostrich.
- Why?

342
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:58,674
Any idea how much planning went into
the batting order on your phone sheet?

343
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:00,384
It sounds scintillating.

344
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:03,845
The president calls, the secretary
of state calls, the Pentagon calls.

345
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:06,682
- Jesus Christ.
<i>- Don't act like it's bullshit.</i>

346
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:10,394
It's about fundamental respect
for institutional norms.

347
00:21:10,477 --> 00:21:12,312
<i>You're covering Ganon's ass for him.</i>

348
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:15,440
It's not a betrayal
of rules-based democracy.

349
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:17,484
<i>You're gonna be in Dennison's office.
Do a pop-by.</i>

350
00:21:17,567 --> 00:21:18,860
Okay. Hal, I gotta go.

351
00:21:53,061 --> 00:21:54,396
Ready to tie the knot?

352
00:21:56,481 --> 00:22:00,444
Robin will memorialize the moment,
if I can locate our spot...

353
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:04,573
We like to do it in front
of Britannia grasping hands with America,

354
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:06,950
but more and more
we find it's problematic.

355
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:10,746
Africa as a young naked boy,
and Australia in nothing but a bush hat.

356
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:13,206
Good afternoon. Mind if I say hello?
357
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:16,710
Oh, wonderful. Foreign Secretary
Austin Dennison, this is...

358
00:22:16,793 --> 00:22:19,421
Ambassador Wyler,
if she's handed over that document.

359
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:22,344
She's done it, but we've not yet
photographed it, so it may not be real.

360
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:25,969
- Sir, it's an honor to meet you.
- Pleasure. Stuart.

361
00:22:26,053 --> 00:22:27,137
Good to see you, sir.

362
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:30,307
Gwen, mind if I steal her for a moment,
or does that muck up your day?

363
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:32,934
Of course. What a stroke of luck.

364
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,353
- Tell Davies to go ahead.
- Ma'am.

365
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:37,105
- I know.
- Small talk. Weather.

366
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:44,696
I'm so sorry for your loss.

367
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:46,990
We're grateful to have you
jumping into the fray.

368
00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:48,200
Of course.

369
00:22:48,283 --> 00:22:50,911
The prime minister was moved,
speaking with President Rayburn.

370
00:22:50,994 --> 00:22:53,914
I believe he's very much
on the front foot.

371
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:57,584
He is. I know the secretary of state
is eager to talk to you.

372
00:22:57,667 --> 00:23:02,089
I think he just wants to make sure
his ducks are in a row before he does.

373
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:06,009
The carrier is drifting, I've learned.
Rather unfortunate.

374
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,303
- Which way?
- Towards Iran.

375
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:12,015
- Oh, God.
- It's quite vulnerable out there.

376
00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:15,727
We need to be sure
we're keeping the temperature low.

377
00:23:15,811 --> 00:23:17,938
I'll inform the secretary of state.

378
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:21,441
I was just about to brief
the prime minister. Can you join?

379
00:23:21,525 --> 00:23:24,528
- You met him on the phone.
- I'm not sure that's a great idea.

380
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:29,407
- Sorry to disturb.
- Ah!

381
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:32,035
Not at all, we were due a break.
382
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:34,788
That or ritual suicide.

383
00:23:34,871 --> 00:23:37,958
Ambassador Katherine Wyler,
Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge.

384
00:23:38,041 --> 00:23:40,627
Welcome, welcome.
We hear wonderful things.

385
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:43,380
- Sir, it's an honor to meet you.
- Ah. Honor to be met.

386
00:23:44,131 --> 00:23:46,883
- Rayburn didn't let you get a word in.
- Ah.

387
00:23:46,967 --> 00:23:50,470
Brilliant of him sending you.
Experienced. Professional. Female.

388
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:52,347
I am many of those things.

389
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:53,950
I'm so sorry...

390
00:23:53,974 --> 00:23:56,494
You know the last female ambassador
to the Court of St. James's?

391
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:59,020
- Long time ago.
- Over a hundred years.

392
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,398
- Fifty, but yes.
- What a proud tradition you've had.

393
00:24:02,023 --> 00:24:06,319
Captains of industry spending a year
on holiday whilst we've got work to do.

394
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:09,359
You and I, I'm sure,
will accomplish things together.

395
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:11,206
I certainly hope we will.
That's why I'm here.

396
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:14,494
There's a mess in the Gulf, but you know
the players. You'll be a great help.

397
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:19,875
We should... Let's hole us up
somewhere where they can't find us.

398
00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:30,718
Good afternoon.

399
00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:34,806
- Good day, sir.
- Hal Wyler. Nice to meet you.

400
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:38,852
- I'm the ambassador's wife.
- Oh. Oh, not at all, sir.

401
00:24:39,394 --> 00:24:42,981
We're the Metropolitan Police,
here to keep you and the ambassador safe.

402
00:24:43,064 --> 00:24:44,733
And we couldn't be more grateful.

403
00:24:46,484 --> 00:24:48,820
- Is that your car?
- Uh, it is, sir. Yeah.

404
00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:54,409
- Trouble you for a lift?
- Wish I could. Official business only.

405
00:24:54,492 --> 00:24:55,619
Okay, I understand.

406
00:24:55,702 --> 00:24:59,539
- Might I book you a cab?
- Oh, I'm gonna take a walk.

407
00:24:59,623 --> 00:25:01,583
- Nice to meet you.
- You too, sir.

408
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:10,008
Sir! Sir!

409
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:14,262
Oh, my goodness, I am so sorry.

410
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,598
Of course, you drive
on the other side of the road.

411
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,526
The president freaked them out.

412
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:30,946
They're worried he's gonna
threaten to bomb Tehran.

413
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:32,239
Then they're really in it.

414
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:34,884
I'm sure he's trying to make them feel
like he's paying attention.

415
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:37,410
They want him to keep quiet.
Let the Brits set the tone.

416
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:40,914
- Okay. Ganon can get into it.
- They want me to handle it.

417
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:42,582
That isn't great.

418
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:45,293
This is exactly what Hal did
to Ganon in Tel Aviv.

419
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:47,254
Blew in and made
the whole American delegation

420
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:49,982
look like they were sitting around
with their thumbs up their asses.

421
00:25:50,006 --> 00:25:52,717
But this isn't you
charging into the PM's office.

422
00:25:52,801 --> 00:25:55,679
The foreign secretary tracked you down.
That was his idea.

423
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:57,721
Was it?

424
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:00,392
Hal.

425
00:26:00,892 --> 00:26:01,893
- Really?
- Yup.

426
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:04,020
You think your husband...?

427
00:26:04,104 --> 00:26:08,608
Pulled me out of a photo op
and dumped me in the PM's lap? Yeah.

428
00:26:08,692 --> 00:26:11,695
Okay. Wow. Impressive.

429
00:26:11,778 --> 00:26:14,698
You say that now. Always comes at a cost.

430
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:16,866
- Which is what?
- You don't know until you know.

431
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:19,369
But then you definitely know.

432
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:25,166
Well, at this point,
they're asking you to step in.

433
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,376
You kind of have to.

434
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,589
Mr. Secretary,
the prime minister understands

435
00:26:31,673 --> 00:26:34,175
the attack may have been a message for us.

436
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:37,595
But the president signaled
quite a lot of outrage

437
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:39,723
when he spoke to the prime minister,

438
00:26:39,806 --> 00:26:43,393
and they're worried he may make
a public statement before they're able...

439
00:26:43,476 --> 00:26:45,353
<i>It was a condolence call
for 30 servicemen.</i>

440
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:48,565
<i>Exactly what was he supposed
to signal if not outrage?</i>

441
00:26:48,648 --> 00:26:51,568
I think what troubled them
was the statement,

442
00:26:52,694 --> 00:26:56,865
"If I find out it was Iran, I swear,
we're gonna light the place up."

443
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:59,159
<i>I'm sure that's not what he said.</i>

444
00:27:00,243 --> 00:27:02,245
It's exactly what he said.

445
00:27:02,329 --> 00:27:03,413
<i>You got a readout?</i>

446
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:07,751
I was on the call.

447
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:11,880
<i>Wasn't I sending you to Kabul?</i>

448
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:16,968
Sir, no one is more surprised
to find me here than I am.

449
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:20,263
<i>I don't know, ambassador.
I haven't called the foreign secretary.</i>

450
00:27:20,347 --> 00:27:25,226
<i>You've been at post for an hour and
you talked to the prime minister. Twice.</i>

451
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:26,644
They want us involved,

452
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:31,191
but not if we're planning to attack
an unstable regime without any evidence.

453
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:33,985
<i>Inform your friend the PM
that Rayburn's a lot of talk.</i>

454
00:27:34,069 --> 00:27:36,696
<i>He's not planning to "light up"
the Republic of Iran.</i>

455
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,908
They need to hear it from you.
On its face, it's credible.

456
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,412
We have an elderly president
who just lost the House

457
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:48,875
and we have a young VP who'd be
glad to prove she likes to blow things up.
458
00:27:48,958 --> 00:27:52,629
<i>That is my problem. Not yours.</i>

459
00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:57,342
Not if they can't get you on the phone,
sir, then apparently it's mine.

460
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:03,056
He'll keep the president
off the air for a day.

461
00:28:03,848 --> 00:28:06,267
- One?
- Doesn't help, does it?

462
00:28:07,477 --> 00:28:11,064
It's not nothing.
They'll appreciate its non-nothingness.

463
00:28:12,148 --> 00:28:13,566
Very close to nothing.

464
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:43,304
Raymond Braysdale, MP Aberconwy.

465
00:28:48,184 --> 00:28:50,270
Ambassador Wyler, United States.

466
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,497
Ma'am, look at me.

467
00:29:10,373 --> 00:29:12,292
Mr. Wyler's here. Does he know Meg...?

468
00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:13,501
Don't look over there.

469
00:29:14,169 --> 00:29:16,337
- Does he know Meg Roylin?
- I don't know.

470
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:18,923
- Is he talking to Meg whoever?
- Roylin.
471
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:21,760
- Is that a problem?
- She's a Tory operative.

472
00:29:21,843 --> 00:29:24,429
She built the strategy
behind Trowbridge's campaign.

473
00:29:24,512 --> 00:29:26,473
Then he fired her
when the papers started saying

474
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:28,558
she was the brains behind the operation.

475
00:29:28,641 --> 00:29:31,936
She takes racists
and turns them into lovable guys

476
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:34,439
you wish had time to coach peewee soccer.

477
00:29:34,981 --> 00:29:38,318
Remember I told you
there would be a price? For Dennison?

478
00:29:46,826 --> 00:29:48,828
<i>- Hey.</i>
- Stop moving.

479
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:52,290
- How did it go at the Foreign Office?
- You know exactly how it went.

480
00:29:52,373 --> 00:29:55,460
I'll be right there,
but I got someone I want you to meet.

481
00:29:55,543 --> 00:29:57,837
- No. Absolutely no.
<i>- Uh-oh.</i>

482
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:00,965
Bad connection. Come on.

483
00:30:02,383 --> 00:30:04,177
Now you've met my husband.

484
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Pull her.

485
00:30:10,892 --> 00:30:11,893
Really?

486
00:30:11,976 --> 00:30:15,438
Your first media hit in the country
can't be a candid with Meg Roylin.

487
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:17,732
Pardon us. Thank you, thank you.

488
00:30:18,733 --> 00:30:21,569
Step aside, please.
Pardon us. Step aside, please.

489
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:24,030
- This way, ma'am.
- Step aside. Metropolitan Police.

490
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:25,490
- This is a lot.
- This way.

491
00:30:25,573 --> 00:30:27,635
She's not in cardiac arrest.
We're just trying to go.

492
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,244
Sir? Thank you, sir.

493
00:30:31,704 --> 00:30:32,914
- Not today.
- So sorry.

494
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:35,375
Not to worry. I'll call you. Thank you.

495
00:30:42,131 --> 00:30:45,385
- Sir, your name, please?
- Ambassador Wyler, United States.

496
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:02,735
- Are you okay?
- Twitter said it was a threat on her life.

497
00:31:02,819 --> 00:31:07,198
We had Meg Roylin coming from one side and
Jamie Taro of the <i>Daily Mail</i> on the other.

498
00:31:07,282 --> 00:31:09,409
I can't have that be the first image
that shows up

499
00:31:09,492 --> 00:31:11,494
when you google
"Ambassador Katherine Wyler."

500
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:15,665
It says Ambassador Wyler's leaving
the memorial right now. In a police car.

501
00:31:16,416 --> 00:31:19,043
- Clearly she's not.
- Is it, perhaps, the other one?

502
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:22,130
The other Ambassador Wyler.

503
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:24,674
We got a call earlier.

504
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:26,968
Mr. Wyler borrowed a vehicle.

505
00:31:27,677 --> 00:31:28,720
From the police?

506
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:34,058
Oh. The press office sent a nice piece
about you at the memorial... Hang on.

507
00:31:34,684 --> 00:31:36,644
Uh, "U.S. Ambassador Wyler

508
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,188
pays his respects
at the Greenwich Naval Memorial

509
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:42,901
on his first day as representative
to the Court of St. James's."

510
00:31:44,527 --> 00:31:46,195
- Hmm.
- Stuart Hayford's office.

511
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:48,906
Eidra.

512
00:31:51,034 --> 00:31:52,034
- Hi.
- Hi.

513
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:54,860
Members of parliament
are canceling visits to Greenwich.

514
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:57,457
Security concerns raised
by your hasty exit.

515
00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:59,083
It was a misunderstanding.

516
00:31:59,167 --> 00:32:00,793
It's a fast boat. We can't see markings,

517
00:32:00,877 --> 00:32:03,504
but it definitely looks like
the kind Iran's been stockpiling.

518
00:32:04,255 --> 00:32:05,255
Shit.

519
00:32:05,298 --> 00:32:06,674
- Yeah.
- Why?

520
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:07,758
Means it's Iran.

521
00:32:08,509 --> 00:32:10,219
Means it's an Iranian boat.

522
00:32:10,303 --> 00:32:13,014
Israeli satellites clocked it
off the coast near Sirik.

523
00:32:13,097 --> 00:32:14,515
- Which is...?
- In Iran.

524
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:17,101
Is that something everyone knows?

525
00:32:17,185 --> 00:32:19,604
It's a very small coastal village in Iran.

526
00:32:20,188 --> 00:32:22,774
They lose track of it here,
but the timing lines up.

527
00:32:23,691 --> 00:32:25,693
- When did this come in?
- Few minutes ago.

528
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,153
- Does State have it?
- Ganon?

529
00:32:27,236 --> 00:32:30,615
- I'm sure he got it when we did.
- You think my day holds?

530
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:34,994
The Brits asked her to keep the president
quiet until the carrier's in a safer spot.

531
00:32:35,078 --> 00:32:36,996
- And the White House agreed?
- Ganon agreed.

532
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,583
For a day. When there wasn't
real evidence pointing at Iran.

533
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,877
It's not an indictment. It's a boat.

534
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:45,505
In the right place at the right time.
535
00:32:45,588 --> 00:32:48,299
I should tell Dennison I got the day
before it's gone.

536
00:32:48,383 --> 00:32:50,677
We gotta get you to your town hall.

537
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:52,552
Your speech.

538
00:32:53,596 --> 00:32:55,890
Kill it. I hate speeches.

539
00:32:56,849 --> 00:32:58,434
Can you hang back a minute?

540
00:33:00,687 --> 00:33:02,730
The job is like 80% speeches.

541
00:33:05,483 --> 00:33:08,945
- They asked me to slow-roll her clearance.
- Who?

542
00:33:12,907 --> 00:33:14,075
Ganon?

543
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,121
Shit.

544
00:33:19,706 --> 00:33:21,541
There could be plenty of reasons for that.

545
00:33:21,624 --> 00:33:22,624
Really?

546
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:26,879
No. He wants to get rid of her.

547
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:29,965
Shit.

548
00:33:32,552 --> 00:33:35,430
- Why give her a day?
- Probably thought it'd take that long
549
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:38,558
to find a reason to get her out,
but now we have her husband

550
00:33:38,641 --> 00:33:42,103
stealing a police car
and conspiring with shady Tories.

551
00:33:42,186 --> 00:33:43,312
Can I use the SCIF?

552
00:33:47,942 --> 00:33:49,027
What do you think?

553
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:50,694
- Of her?
- Yeah.

554
00:33:51,154 --> 00:33:54,866
I'm impressed. I was dubious at first,
but she turned me around.

555
00:33:55,491 --> 00:33:58,995
I think I'll ditch my plans to move to
a place with better career opportunities

556
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:02,457
so I can stand by her side
for a tour that'll reinvigorate

557
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:05,251
the special relationship
and usher in a new American century.

558
00:34:06,252 --> 00:34:07,252
Give her a chance.

559
00:34:08,087 --> 00:34:11,924
I'm not fucking her, I'm fucking you.
I'm trying to give you a chance.

560
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:21,392
What happened?

561
00:34:21,476 --> 00:34:23,644
The five people
who know what's going on here...

562
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:25,938
<i>- Yeah.</i>
- The secretary of state's one of them.

563
00:34:26,022 --> 00:34:27,022
<i>Right?</i>

564
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,986
<i>- No.</i>
- What the fuck, Billie?

565
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:34,489
<i>- He doesn't need to know.</i>
- He's trying to shitcan her.

566
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:38,159
- I'm sure he's not.
- She wound up in a sit-down with the PM,

567
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:41,329
thanks to the husband,
who by the way, Jesus fucking Christ.

568
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:43,247
He's a handful, but people love him.

569
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:45,208
<i>Ganon thinks she's eating off his plate.</i>

570
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:48,920
The president needs to say out loud
that he asked her to take the lead here.

571
00:34:49,003 --> 00:34:50,421
<i>It's not gonna happen.</i>

572
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:54,008
It's a test. The president wants to see
if she can handle herself.

573
00:34:54,634 --> 00:34:57,220
- If she's afraid of Ganon...
- She's not.
574
00:34:57,303 --> 00:34:59,222
<i>That's the kind of information I need.</i>

575
00:34:59,305 --> 00:35:00,681
It's why I read you in.

576
00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:05,520
Is that why you read me in?

577
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:07,772
Or are you asking me
to turn her into something?

578
00:35:08,856 --> 00:35:11,067
I don't know. Maybe.

579
00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:14,862
- That's the clarity I'm looking for.
<i>- I don't have a lot of clarity.</i>

580
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:16,572
I just spent three years building a VP

581
00:35:16,656 --> 00:35:19,216
who could take the torch from an old man
and get us another term.

582
00:35:19,242 --> 00:35:21,077
<i>This was not my plan.</i>

583
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:24,580
She handles things.
We get people who can campaign.

584
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:26,464
They can't handle anything
and we're drowning.

585
00:35:26,499 --> 00:35:30,128
Oh, fuck that. You see an opportunity,
you can't let it go by.

586
00:35:30,211 --> 00:35:33,381
Yeah, I can't.
Who do you think taught me that?
587
00:35:37,093 --> 00:35:38,386
No, "atrocity."

588
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:42,723
Atrocity. It means "killing people
and hacking them up into little pieces."

589
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:47,186
Darya, if you say "women's health,"

590
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:50,064
they think they're funding a yoga studio
in Jalalabad.

591
00:35:51,065 --> 00:35:53,151
Listen, I gotta go. Okay.

592
00:35:55,278 --> 00:35:56,946
Ganon's trying to get rid of you.

593
00:36:00,533 --> 00:36:01,701
That was fast.

594
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:03,870
An apology could take the edge off.

595
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:07,999
He's trying to keep the Gulf
from boiling over.

596
00:36:08,082 --> 00:36:10,585
I'm not calling him
to say I made an oopsie.

597
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:12,461
Might be worth it.

598
00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:17,466
Hmm. In a week,
the Brits will have set the tone.

599
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:20,344
- Ganon won't remember any of this.
- Ma'am...

600
00:36:23,973 --> 00:36:26,475
you are not gonna be here in a week.

601
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:28,227
You're not on the books yet.

602
00:36:28,769 --> 00:36:31,772
Ganon will have to do some explaining,
but he'll blame Hal,

603
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:33,524
which won't take much convincing.

604
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:36,694
You called him Hal.

605
00:36:37,403 --> 00:36:38,403
First time.

606
00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:41,531
Sorry.

607
00:36:41,949 --> 00:36:45,745
Everyone does once they really know him.
Guess you got the idea.

608
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:48,331
I did.

609
00:36:55,504 --> 00:36:56,756
Maybe it's all right.

610
00:36:58,424 --> 00:36:59,675
What does that mean?

611
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:05,514
You don't seem to be all that thrilled
to be here. It's not Jalalabad.

612
00:37:06,307 --> 00:37:09,685
Someone is shooting missiles
at boats in the Persian Gulf.

613
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:12,605
Even I can get it up
for averting another bloodbath
614
00:37:12,688 --> 00:37:14,398
- in the motherfucking Gulf.
- Sorry.

615
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:16,484
I was just asking.

616
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:26,077
Who was gonna do the feature?

617
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:28,246
The rehearsal.

618
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:30,665
Me in a gown, with a horse.

619
00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:32,875
<i>British Vogue.</i>

620
00:37:34,835 --> 00:37:36,170
God, I hate this shit.

621
00:37:39,715 --> 00:37:40,800
What?

622
00:37:42,843 --> 00:37:44,512
You know who you can't fire?

623
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:47,515
Cinderella.

624
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:56,816
I'm not sure if this is the same schedule.
I don't think anything has changed.

625
00:37:56,899 --> 00:37:59,402
Pensy, find Leonard if you could, please.

626
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:06,492
The article won't be online till tomorrow,
but they'll put pictures on the website.

627
00:38:06,575 --> 00:38:09,787
It's fucking brilliant.
A media darling by sunup.

628
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:11,914
- Fucking brilliant.
- It is.

629
00:38:12,999 --> 00:38:14,417
Told you you were ready.

630
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:17,461
You and I did all the things we do
to launch you.

631
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,381
Drop-kicked me
into the center of the action,

632
00:38:20,464 --> 00:38:24,302
so I can make promises I can't keep,
while alienating my superiors

633
00:38:24,385 --> 00:38:27,346
for a strategically insignificant
moment of access.

634
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:32,143
And now we're distracting
from the clusterfuck with a media splash

635
00:38:32,226 --> 00:38:34,645
designed to make me
more attractive to women.

636
00:38:34,729 --> 00:38:35,729
You're a snob.

637
00:38:36,397 --> 00:38:37,231
Zip this.

638
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,316
And a misogynist.

639
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:42,570
You're the prime minister's new
best friend and you're gonna be famous.

640
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:44,655
I should be getting a blow job
for that phone call.

641
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:48,743
I didn't wanna be famous. You're so famous
nobody wants to work with you.

642
00:38:57,001 --> 00:39:01,130
How is this a $1600 piece of clothing?
It doesn't even have pockets.

643
00:39:01,922 --> 00:39:03,716
Makes your ass look fantastic.

644
00:39:11,807 --> 00:39:13,017
We look good.

645
00:39:24,904 --> 00:39:26,072
Wow.

646
00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:27,656
I'm not a dress person.

647
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:29,992
- You're faking it spectacularly.
- Okay.

648
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:32,953
We'll start with candids
for the <i>Vogue</i> spread,

649
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:35,373
and then some formal portraits for us.

650
00:39:35,456 --> 00:39:37,208
The body count went up, 41 dead.

651
00:39:37,291 --> 00:39:38,501
Yeah.

652
00:39:38,584 --> 00:39:42,004
Oh, ma'am, ma'am.
Uma is outside, whenever you're ready.

653
00:39:42,088 --> 00:39:43,214
- Uma?
- The reporter.

654
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,634
Okay. They may want more help
with the search.

655
00:39:46,717 --> 00:39:49,512
There's a guy
I should call at the Pentagon.

656
00:39:49,595 --> 00:39:51,639
Ma'am, I'll talk to the guy.

657
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,559
And I talk to Uma.

658
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:56,769
Give me your phone.

659
00:39:57,853 --> 00:40:01,982
His name is Gerald Tober.
He runs maritime search and rescue.

660
00:40:05,569 --> 00:40:06,904
I used to do your job.

661
00:40:07,571 --> 00:40:09,198
It is better than this one.

662
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,200
Ma'am...

663
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:14,662
I am sorry about today.

664
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:17,305
- You knew the thing with Dennison was...
- Don't worry about it.

665
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:22,378
- Hal makes a lot of magic. Hard to resist.
- Well, next time I'll know.

666
00:40:22,461 --> 00:40:25,131
You won't.
It's like a drug. You can't say no.

667
00:40:26,298 --> 00:40:27,675
It's okay, he'll be gone soon.

668
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:32,304
- He will?
- Let's get a look at you. It's perfect.

669
00:40:33,055 --> 00:40:35,182
- I think it is. Right?
- Absolutely.

670
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:37,184
- Let's look at you in the light.
- Okay.

671
00:40:41,188 --> 00:40:42,022
Frances?

672
00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:43,149
Mr. Hayford.

673
00:40:46,193 --> 00:40:47,903
Why did you tell me about the sheets?

674
00:40:48,988 --> 00:40:52,324
- You said she checked the sheets.
- In the Adams Suite.

675
00:40:52,825 --> 00:40:56,120
You asked for relevant information.
It's a guest suite.

676
00:40:57,788 --> 00:40:59,748
They don't sleep in the same bed.

677
00:41:07,006 --> 00:41:10,217
I don't wanna make your job
any harder than it already is,

678
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:13,888
but it would be great
if there weren't any shots of me

679
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:18,058
looking wistfully into the distance
as I caress my own neck.

680
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,519
- Ma'am, could I borrow you?
- Mm-hm.

681
00:41:25,232 --> 00:41:27,234
Is Mr. Wyler leaving?

682
00:41:31,071 --> 00:41:32,156
Yes.

683
00:41:34,116 --> 00:41:35,159
Um...

684
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:36,994
Is he coming back?

685
00:41:39,955 --> 00:41:43,876
He will get me on my feet,
and then he will go.

686
00:41:45,878 --> 00:41:47,213
It is a two-person job.

687
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:50,883
Mrs. Dursley can plan a menu
without the help of Hal Wyler.

688
00:41:50,966 --> 00:41:53,427
- Yes, but...
- The president asked me to do him a solid.

689
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:57,097
At what point do you think I should have
raised the epic failure of my marriage?

690
00:41:57,181 --> 00:41:59,391
- Ma'am...
- This was fun, I feel like we're closer.

691
00:41:59,975 --> 00:42:01,769
I need to step away and change my shoes

692
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:06,357
because Uma and Pippa think
I'll project more power in a block heel.

693
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:11,430
<i>Yeah.</i>

694
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:15,115
You're getting divorced.

695
00:42:16,408 --> 00:42:17,243
No, we're not.

696
00:42:17,326 --> 00:42:20,829
- Does the White House know?
- There's nothing to know.

697
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:24,375
The ambassador says your...
Your marriage is over.

698
00:42:25,668 --> 00:42:26,752
Ever been married?

699
00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:29,964
This doesn't work
if she's getting divorced.

700
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:33,509
You can't slot someone in the
vice presidency if she's getting divorced.

701
00:42:33,592 --> 00:42:34,802
She'll take me back.

702
00:42:36,762 --> 00:42:38,889
Okay. I gotta talk to Billie.

703
00:42:38,973 --> 00:42:40,733
You work it out with her
and the president...

704
00:42:40,808 --> 00:42:43,644
No. You don't tell anyone.
She will take me back.

705
00:42:44,436 --> 00:42:45,436
I...

706
00:42:46,814 --> 00:42:53,070
do things that make her want to leave me,
and I will not do them again.

707
00:42:53,862 --> 00:42:57,324
You were here two hours, made one call.
The secretary of state wants to fire her.

708
00:42:57,408 --> 00:43:00,744
I'm a big pain in the ass
but it doesn't work without me.

709
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:02,370
Okay.

710
00:43:02,788 --> 00:43:06,709
Then tell her. If she wants it, fine,
but I am not sneaking around.

711
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:09,461
I can't tell her, she'll blow it!

712
00:43:10,254 --> 00:43:14,800
She hates cameras
and microphones and people.

713
00:43:15,301 --> 00:43:17,428
Right now, she is cutting a fucking ulcer

714
00:43:17,511 --> 00:43:19,722
because she has to make nice
with a reporter.

715
00:43:19,805 --> 00:43:22,266
Then who the fuck thought
she should be vice president?

716
00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:23,767
She is the one you want.

717
00:43:24,476 --> 00:43:26,562
Not Grace Penn, not me.

718
00:43:26,645 --> 00:43:31,483
No one with the temperament to win a
campaign should be in charge of anything.

719
00:43:31,567 --> 00:43:35,112
It's the most obvious rule in the world.
No one who likes power should have it.

720
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:38,115
You can't eliminate
every public-facing piece of the job.

721
00:43:38,198 --> 00:43:39,533
That's why we're here.

722
00:43:40,826 --> 00:43:42,828
In a land of hats.

723
00:43:42,911 --> 00:43:46,874
She is a frog in a pot of water.
We have six months.

724
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:49,251
We can turn the heat up slowly,
and she won't jump out.

725
00:43:49,335 --> 00:43:51,879
But you can't tell her
you're boiling her alive.

726
00:43:52,838 --> 00:43:55,341
This metaphor gives me
a lot of confidence.

727
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:57,468
Billie says you're good at this.

728
00:43:57,551 --> 00:44:01,680
And I'm good at this, which we all know,
despite the chaos which reigns around me.

729
00:44:01,764 --> 00:44:02,848
We can get her there.

730
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,643
Not if she doesn't want it.

731
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:07,477
Or you.

732
00:44:08,062 --> 00:44:10,272
Of course she wants me.
She fucking loves me.

733
00:44:11,857 --> 00:44:14,138
You can't think about it too hard.
It'll break your heart.

734
00:44:18,364 --> 00:44:21,742
Step away please, if we could,
while we have the light.

735
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:22,993
Thank you.

736
00:44:23,619 --> 00:44:25,537
To me. That's nice.

737
00:44:25,621 --> 00:44:27,956
Moving on to the carriage now,
if you please.

738
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,292
Thank you. I believe you have enough.

739
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:32,461
Hey. Psst.

740
00:44:37,549 --> 00:44:38,884
They keep touching me.

741
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:41,178
That's part of it.

742
00:44:42,054 --> 00:44:45,516
I scratched my face and picked a wedgie.
I think I have lipstick on my ass.

743
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,768
- Nothing.
- Okay.

744
00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:50,061
Hey.

745
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,233
You look incredible.

746
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:57,111
Shall we go for a ride?

747
00:45:00,656 --> 00:45:03,033
Um... yeah.

748
00:45:03,742 --> 00:45:05,869
Mm-hm. Got it.

749
00:45:30,644 --> 00:45:31,645
Look at her.

750
00:45:34,648 --> 00:45:35,983
Just like a princess.

751
00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:46,326
Ambassador.

752
00:45:58,672 --> 00:46:01,717
If you put them back on and walk,
they might soften.

753
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,719
I think it will break my pelvis.

754
00:46:03,802 --> 00:46:05,888
This feels small. Is it a bit small?

755
00:46:05,971 --> 00:46:08,056
- It's a bit roomy in the shoulders.
- Yeah.

756
00:46:08,140 --> 00:46:11,268
Why don't we get Jonathan to take us up
to the van and get the tailor.

757
00:46:11,351 --> 00:46:13,854
- Are my pants a little short?
- We'll take a look at that too.

758
00:46:13,937 --> 00:46:15,772
Okay. How are you doing?

759
00:46:16,982 --> 00:46:17,982
Thank you.

760
00:46:24,573 --> 00:46:25,699
May I fix your tie?

761
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,744
- Yeah. I think I screwed up the knot.
- Okay.

762
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,584
You're perfectly safe. This is very mild.
You'll be yourself in no time.
