[James]
Previously on Hypersonic.

The lady,
you brought in yesterday

she is all over this file

She used to work for us?

I can't confirm a 100%

but it looks to me
that she was more of an ally

instead of an enemy.

Director Smith,
I was briefed on the events

that took place the other day.

President Decker and myself

we agree that

we think it may have clouded
your judgment.

I have a gift for you.

I brought with me a colleague

that will report back to me
on everything that's going on.

I think, it's time for you
to move forward with your life.

And what took you so long?

You had more men
than I expected.

[g*n shots]

Come work for me.

And what assurances
you're going to give me.

How do I know when I leave here,
you're not going to f*ck me.

None.

But it's your choice.

Where

is

Washington?

Do you still have that contact
to the government?

Yeah.

Why?

Just asking.

[suspenseful music fades]

[birds chirping]

[air raid siren wailing]

Ladies and gentlemen,
there are confirmed reports

that there was a large expl*si*n
this morning.

Local authorities are investigating.

If you are anywhere near these areas
please seek shelter.

Stay tuned for more details.

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music playing]

[phone ringing]

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Director Smith.

There was an attack.

Where?

On the East Coast of the United States.

What happened?

A nuclear device went off
in the northern Florida area.

It happened early this morning.

I'm trying to reach you all
from morning.

I'm on my way now.

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

Agent Williams,
where are we with everything?

Have you contacted
the local authorities?

I've been on the phone
with the Emergency Operation Center

and everyone is out on reconnaissance
near ground zero.

Sadly, there's nothing to report.

Have we contacted the DOD?

DOD has no information
on the point of origin

but they're still searching.

What about the other agencies?
Do they have anything?

Nothing so far

but my colleagues in the CIA

believe that
it might have been Foreign.

Director Smith

take a look at this.

This is Ana Reyes with Breaking News.

Authorities believe

that a Hypersonic nuclear weapon
was detonated

on the East Coast
of the United States.

The origin of the attack
is not yet known.

Please stay tuned for more details
on this dark day in America.

Get me the President.

Prime Minister Walsh

we need your country to fall in line

with our policies regarding
our new security protocols.

Madam President

the United Kingdom prides itself
on being very independent,

and that's been our policy for years.

We believe in sustainability
within ourselves

and do not require assistance.

I understand that.

But the world is changing
and we need to adapt

to the new rules of engagement.

What are you suggesting?

We've been developing a new program
that utilizes AI

and we've been successfully
implementing it

into our systems.

-Artificial intelligence.
-Mm-hm.

Madam President

with all due respect
we have developed our own AI.

We have even implemented it
into our systems

as we speak with no known flaws.

Why would we put yours in ours?

Because I believe
that yours has been compromised.

What makes you think
that our system is compromised?

I instructed some of our analysts

to check out your system

and they found some causes for concern.

What kind of concerns?

We discovered

that both Russia and China
have access to your system.

Your infrastructure could be at risk
for a cyber-attack.

You are lying.

How could that be?

We have some of the top
cybersecurity programs

that protect our country.

What you are saying
cannot be true.

On my recent trip to Geneva

one of my advisors was able to gain access

to one of the internal servers
used by the Russian intelligent agents.

I can't tell you how...

but their findings were disturbing.

I don't believe this.

My advisors informed me

that we are one
of the most secure countries

on this planet

and I trust them.

You believe what you want...

Prime Minister.

I think, this all happened
during the w*r on Ukraine.

I mean, you remember
the whole pipeline incident.

Yes. I know what you did.

What I did...

what I did is save your country.

Russia had a stranglehold around you

and the U.S. as always
removed the noose from around your neck.

Excuse, Madam President.
I have something to attend too.

Prime Minister,

I hope I haven't offended you.

J. Robert Oppenheimer once said

that an optimist believes
that this is the best

of all possible worlds

and the pessimist fears that this is true.

Madam President,

I'll consider your request,
but I do so with caution.

I cannot make a decision
that will enslave United Kingdom

for the rest of the time
that I'm Prime Minister.

I know the United States

has been one of our greatest allies
and has had the best intentions for us.

But trust must be earned
and not given.

Good day, Madam President.

Okay. Let him just plan on that.

[door opens]

Madam President,
there's been an attack today.

Where was the attack?

It happened on the East Coast
of the United States.

What happened?

It was a nuclear attack, Madam President.

The FBI is still investigating.

[suspenseful music playing]

I need to assure the American people
that we will overcome this.

Paula, have the Press Secretary
write something up for me.

Yes, Madam President.

Vice President Emerson
is waiting for you on a video call.

Thank you.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Emerson, did you hear about the attack?

Yes, I was briefed a few minutes ago
by the Pentagon

and Defense Secretary Chalmers.

What was it?

It was a Hypersonic
Nuclear m*ssile attack

that hit the East Coast.

What is a Hypersonic Nuclear m*ssile?

And why don't I know about it?

Well, it is similar to an ICBM

but it moves
at more than 5 times

the speed of sound.

It is a weapon of mass destruction.

Why didn't we sh**t it down?

You can't.

Not in my vocabulary.

Madam President, I don't know
how else I can explain this.

We must strike back at whomever did this.

We cannot afford to look weak
at a time such as this.

The b*stard that did this

must pay a heavy price.

Emerson, we don't even know,
who did this.

I'm not going to start a nuclear w*r

and end all life on this planet
just to prove we're not weak.

I need to make the right decision.

I understand.

But there are only two other countries

that possess this power
besides ourselves

and we need to strike back at them.

Who else possesses this type of weapon?

Russia and China.

And if you don't take action right now,

I promise you
whoever is responsible for this

will send another one.

Don't make the same mistakes
as your predecessors.

Mr. Vice President

I don't think
I'd like your tone right now.

My apologies, Madam President.

But we need to make a statement

that we will not back down
from any enemy

whether foreign or domestic.

I will address the nation
at the top of the hour.

Emerson, I need you to find out
who did this.

I don't care what it takes.

Find them now.

Will do, Madam President.

Madam President

weakness of attitude

becomes weakness of your character.

[suspenseful music playing]

Paula, contact the Secretary of State
and have him arrange a meeting

with President Chao
and Russian President Orlov.

I need to speak with them privately.

Yes, Madam President.

[door closes]

[song playing]

Wade...

you really know
how to make a lady feel wanted.

You know that's exactly why

I wanted to become Mrs. Washington.

You know, it's in my jeans.

I'm related to Casanova

or someone of that magnitude.

Well, that must explain,
why I feel so safe in your arms

and in love.

And I haven't felt like that
in a really long time.

Ditto

[phone vibrating]

Leave it.

It's not important.

Baby, you know I need to get that.

All right.

I'm sorry.

[suspenseful music playing]

[knock at door]

[knock at door]

What are you doing here?

There was an attack.

An attack? Where?

Somewhere up north. I...

was on my boat this morning
and I woke up on the beach.

Babe, who is that?

It's nobody.

What is she doing here?

Look here, man.

What I do is my business.

So, stay out of it.

I don't care about what's going on here.

We need to go in now.

All right.

Let me get dressed.

Just give me a few minutes.

So, who was that?

It was a delivery.

They got the wrong address.

Mm-hm.

Delivery?

I can think of a delivery
that I need right now

and it goes all the way south.

As much as I would love to.

I have to go.

Really?

You suck.

Yeah, I know.

But I promise you, I'll make it up to you.

Dinner?

[door closes]

[suspenseful music playing]

Try that.

Ramirez, have you been able

to get in contact with the President?

No, I haven't, but I did speak
with the Pentagon

and President Decker
will address the nation

within the hour.

We have to find out who did this.

Director Smith, take a look at this.

The m*ssile's blast radius
was about 10 kilo meters wide.

Do we have a possible point of origin?

I haven't found anything yet,
but I'm still searching.

There has to be a clue somewhere.

Director Smith,
there was another attack.

Where?

Ladies and gentlemen,
we have unconfirmed reports

that two additional hypersonic missiles
have been detonated today.

One in the City of Fuzhou, China

and the other in Volgograd, Russia.

These attacks come just hours
after the confirmed attack

this morning on the United States.

The casualties of these attacks
are not yet known.

We extend our deepest condolences
to everyone who has been affected

by these tragedies.

Please stay tuned
for up to the minute information

as it becomes available.

Director Smith, can I have
a word with you outside?

Can it wait?

No. It's important.

[suspenseful music playing]

What is it?

Look, I know
I've only been here a day or two

but I think one of your agents
may be compromised.

What? Who?

Agent Williams.

Williams?

Yeah, I overheard
his conversation the other night

and I believe he knows

more about the attack than he's telling.

Do you have any proof?

Yeah.

It's all here on that thumb drive.

Look, I know
you may not trust me as of yet

but before I was placed here
I was given information

about everyone in this department.

So, I know a little bit more

about what goes on
in between these walls.

And you know?

Being in the CIA does have its perks.

And if you don't believe me
just take a look at the information.

Look, I'm not here to take
anyone's job nor replace you.

I'm just simply here to make sure

sure an assignment gets done
and to maintain the status quo,

so that this great country of America
can continue to uphold the freedoms

that we currently enjoy.

[phone ringing]

Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.

Director Smith...

President Decker is about to speak.

[police sirens blaring]

Ladies and gentlemen,
the President of the United States.

My fellow Americans

I come to you today
with disheartening news

this morning at 8:27 am

our great country was struck
by a Hypersonic Nuclear m*ssile.

The devastation was unimaginable.

At the present moment, we don't know
who perpetrated this attack

but rest assured

we will deal with those responsible.

I want to extend my deepest condolences

to the families of countless
American citizens

that perished in this attack.

I say this to whomever ex*cuted
this horrific act,

we will find you
and you will be dealt with

in a manner in which I see fit.

The United States will not let this
act of terror define its character.

Rather, we will overcome this tragedy
and be better and stronger than ever.

God bless you.

And God bless America.

[somber music playing]

Keep searching.

Give me any updates
as they become available.

I'll be in my office.

The more you sweat
during peace time,

the less bloodshed during w*r.

[suspenseful music playing]

What happened?

A Hypersonic m*ssile attack.

-What the hell?
-Where'd it come from?

We're trying to locate
the point of origin,

but we haven't been able
to find anything.

Director Smith,

Agent Williams may have found
what the miss originated.

Come on

Director Smith,

I cross-referenced
the last feed we had

from Agent Dean's death

and I found a hidden signal
embedded in the video.

When the broadcast first aired.

We couldn't track it

because the signal
was being bounced

from a different proxy server.

What's that supposed to mean?

You see,
when there's a live signal,

you can mask where it came from,

but if it isn't live,

then there's always
a digital footprint.

And this one is located
in West Palm Beach,

but I don't know
the exact location.

I could narrow it down
to about three mile radius,

but after that it's finding
a needle in a haystack.

I would say to look
for a large warehouse

with steel fencing.

That's the best way
to mask the signal.

Good work.

Okay. West Palm Beach
is about an hour away.

Let's get a team together
and let's get out there.

I'm going to need
you both on this.

-All right.
-All right.

Director Smith.

I just found
that President Decker

is meeting with the Chinese
and the Russian presidents.

When?


Central European Time.

Isn't it a little bit too fast

to be meeting with two of our
well-known adversaries?

I do. See if you can find out
more information on that.

I don't have
a good feeling about this.

Neither do I.

All right. I'm going to be
the lead on Team Alpha Mission.

Williams, I'm going to need you
to run command while I'm away.

Report anything
as it becomes available.

Yes, ma'am.
You can count on me.

All right.

I'm in.

No. We got this.

Director Smith,

with all due respect,
I'm here to help.

So, I'm going to go with you.

Remember, my job
is to report everything back

to Vice President Emerson
as he stated.

So, it's not a request.

Okay. You're in.

But if I sense for one second

that you're a detriment
to this mission,

I will personally
take you down myself.

Got it?

It's affirmative, ma'am.

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone vibrating]

[Man] It's me.
The f*ck are you talking about?

Did you forget the f*cking plan?

We're not supposed to meet up

until you get the information
from that b*tch Washington.

You promised me
a new f*cking life

if I worked for you.

Son of a b*tch.

I knew she couldn't be trusted.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'll meet you outside in 10.

We have to find out
who attacked us.

General Lay believes
that it was the U.S.

that orchestrated
the attack against us.

Their submarines were spotted
in the South China Sea

a few days ago,

performing maneuvers
near Taiwan.

Why would they do that?

They know that a w*r
will be imminent.

I'm not exactly sure, sir,

but do you remember that?

They're the ones
that dropped the b*mb

in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Americans

are evil.

President Chao

Madam President, Debi Chi.

My deepest condolences.

Thank you.

Please accept mine as well.

Given the circumstances
that we're facing,

I feel like meeting
with you directly

was the best course of action.

I fear that our nations
are being targeted,

but if we can work together,
we can prevail.

Agreed. Please.

Madam President,
do you have any idea

who may have perpetrated
this attack.

At this moment? No.

Which is one of the reasons

I came here
to ask for your assistance.

I believe that China
and the United States

needs to take down
whoever's responsible

for these acts of terror.

What are you proposing?

The attack
that took place in America

was caused
by a Hypersonic Nuclear m*ssile.

It's my understanding

that this is the same type
of m*ssile

that struck Fuzhou
in South China.

That is correct.

Then we are both victims
of this terrible atrocity.

President Chao, I realize

that our nations have not been
on the best of terms recently,

but I feel
like our common interests

now outweigh
any of our differences.

It's my understanding

that your country
is currently developing

the capacity to launch
hypersonic missiles.

Is it possible

that you may have been
compromised

and this technology research
could have been leaked?

Compromised?

You think China
is that incompetent?

No.

But your ties to Russia,

Africa, Iran, and North Korea

are quite alarming
to the United States.

You share a border
with two of those countries

and throughout the years
you have been supporting

both of the regimes,

even with their blatant
disregard for human rights.

With all due respect,

China's business dealings
are not your concern.

They are my concern.

If any one of those nations
perpetrated this attack,

then they will be held liable

and anyone
who cooperated with them

will be considered
an enemy of the United States

and will also be held
accountable.

So, are you accusing China
of being behind this attack?

I'm not accusing anyone,

but Russia and China
are the only countries

who currently
have this technology.

And you as well.

Remember,
we were also attacked.

And what I find very interesting
with your hypothesis

is that you don't understand

who has to gain
from all of this.

What's that supposed to mean?

You preach diplomacy
and cooperation,

but you do not reciprocate.

And at the end
you may have China

as a very powerful enemy

that you will not
be able to defeat.

I'm in no way blaming China

for the devastation
that occurred earlier today.

I'm simply asking

that you divulge any information
that you may have

that will help us capture

the individuals
who are responsible

for these tragedies.

Information that can potentially
lead China to another attack.

And from where I stand,

the United States
can be the ones

that are perpetuating
this attack.

I can personally confirm

that the United States
did not attack China.

And do you have proof?

I see you do not.

Do you know
why I find very compelling

over the last five years?

When my father was assassinated,

he came to you and your allies
for information.

but you did not provide any.

And then when I took the reins
to run this country,

you said in your speech
to Congress

that I was too young
and unfit to lead.

But now,
now I have the upper head.

So, unless you can find proof

that the United States
of America

was not behind its attack,

China will hold you
completely responsible.

Good day, Madam President.

[tense music intensifying]

Listen up. It's simple.

Grab any intel.
Neutralize any threat.

Wade Manning,
you'll be with me.

On Alpha Team, James,
you'll take Bravo.

We leave in 10.

Director Smith,

I found the location.

I'm setting a drone ahead
to Mark the target.

Director Smith,

it's on the southeast corner
just ahead of your position.

I will continue to monitor
above the location

for any external threats.

[suspenseful music playing]

Life's obscure

but death?

Death is authentic.

We're doing it Robyn.

We're changing the world.

-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

Is it because
we bombed Russia? I…

We attacked our home
to relieve suspicion.

The division amongst
the superpowers

will eventually weaken them.

It needed to be done.

I know,
but it's still our home.

I would understand if you…

You'd understand nothing.

Okay.

Then explain it to me, Robyn,

explain it to me now.

Vengeance.

I was a sleeper agent

for the United States
of America.

I was responsible
for all clandestine missions.

When you and I reconnected
in Moscow, I was undercover.

My mission was to gain
President Orlov's trust.

It wasn't hard.

He fancies brunettes.

You stole

Russian

intelligence.

I stole what was needed
and it was a setup.

I was betrayed.

Betrayed by who?

Secretary of Defense, Chalmers
and FBI, Director Joseph Smith.

They gave me a one-way ticket
to Black Dolphin Prison to rot.

President Orlov
saw my value though

he gave me a full pardon

under the condition
that I would be his right hand.

So, I did.

My first mission for him
was five years ago.

And it was to assassinate
the President of China.

You k*lled.

You k*lled his father.

I didn't.

But everyone thinks I did.

And because of her,

I ended up in the abyss
of yet another cell.

This time on Chinese soil.

I wasn't there for long though.

They traded my soul for another.

And then I ended up
in Afghanistan.

So, what do you want?

Do you want revenge with U.S.,
with China or with Russia?

I wanted on the people

who thought it was fun
to play with my life.

All this time,

I thought
we were building up a new world.

Turns out,
I'm just a pawn in your...

play.

Only for revenge.

And I honestly thought I'd be…

[alarm blaring]

What is it?

It's your recognition,
Robyn.

You and I both know

you can't get those codes
without me.

You're right.
Just f*cking move.

Move.

[heart beat playing]

[emotional music playing]

She must believe we have
something to do with this.

Did we?

Give my condolences
to President Decker.

Assure her
Russia was not involved.

We ourselves are under attack
on our own soil.

So, diplomacy

is all we can divulge
at this current time.

Okay, sir.

Also, you have a message.

[foreign language spoken]

if you're receiving
this message,

it means everything's
going according to plan.

And I'll be seeing
you very soon.

The supreme art of w*r

is to subdue the enemy
without fighting.
