[Saul]

Previously on Homeland...

Pakistan did not blow up our convoy.

Jalal Haqqani did.

They k*lled our president.

They k*lled our operatives.

What calamity has to occur before you finally admit it's time to do something?

Not a full scale invasion of a nuclear power that has said they will not tolerate our crossing their border.

I should be back in Islamabad preparing for an invasion.

There's only one thing that can defuse this right now.

Give us Jalal.

We don't know where he is.

Just give us a target.

Any target.

Plausible coordinates.

That's all I'm asking.

[man on radio]

Good hit, good hit.

Target destroyed.

Well, f*ck yeah.

[applause]

Saul is running an agent inside the Kremlin.

You must know someone who can help an asset in the Kremlin.

I don't.

If there were ever a time I don't.

Did you hear me?

You sure you wanna do this?

Betray Saul.

It'll get us the flight recorder.

[Carrie]

So one of them was a woman.

She was a teacher in English.

What was her name?

[Andrei]

There was no name.

Just "Comrade Instructor." This is our signal to meet in the bookstore window.

A Tauchnitz edition in red leather.

Very Saul.

He liked things hidden in plain sight.

The black box from the president's helicopter.

I know you have it.

There must be a price.

What is it?

[woman]

Mr.

Berenson?

Yes?

[woman]

We have a package here addressed to your room to a Professor Rabinow.

"It's Yevgeny Gromov's play." Carrie Mathison?

I'm Charlotte Benson, a friend of Yevgeny's.

Did you arrange the call?

[Yevgeny]

Just give me the name.

I don't have it.

Not yet.

If you can't find the asset, you can still take Saul out of picture.

He'd have a legacy plan in the event of his death.

An arrangement.

[Yevgeny]

An arrangement to pass the asset on to someone else.

And that someone else would be you.

You f*cking knew it would come to this.

I hoped you'd find another way, but like you said...

you've tried everything.

What's left?

It's about Jalal Haqqani.

Apparently, he was nowhere near that farmhouse.

The coordinates the ISI provided were bogus.

No sh*t.

The president is furious, Saul.

Does he know I was involved?

I didn't know you were involved.

That's so you can plausibly deny it.

[sighs]

Give us a minute.

I'm afraid Hayes is past the finger pointing stage.

What do you mean?

He's been on the phone with the prime minister.

Gave Pakistan 48 hours to stand down their b*ttlefield nukes or we take them out.

Take them out?

Take them out.

We're already flying round the clock sorties over their positions along the border.

What did the prime minister say?

Not much.

Listened, mostly.

Well, I guarantee he's talking now to his top m*llitary advisors.

One thing they're talking about is delegating launch authority to lower level commanders in the field.

Christ.

You get me on the president's schedule this morning.

Alone.

I can try.

Tell him the chess he's playing is about to get three dimensional.

How so?

Russia's gonna jump in.

Come, I'll tell you what I know on the way.

[engine starts]

[Tasneem]

Good morning.

Three days ago, at 4:52 a. m., Pakistan Standard Time, radar installations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa detected aircraft identified as American F 16 Falcons violating our airspace and directly threatening defensive positions inside our country.

And just last night, as diplomats all over the world worked to ease tensions, President Hayes placed a private call to Prime Minister Kayani during which he delivered an ultimatum: Withdraw your mobile m*ssile launchers, or see them destroyed on the ground.

Hear us loud and clear: Today, the United States of America left us no choice but to arm our tactical nuclear weapons.

Our hope is still for peace.

But our response to w*r will be swift...

and terrible.

I'm not expecting you or the president to take my word for it.

The point is, the Russians aren't giving it back for a reason.

And it's not just for the entertainment value of watching us trip over our dicks.

What, then?
