Homeland

Air and naval forces of the United States...

launched a series of strikes against terrorist facilities-

Pan Am Flight 103 crashed into the town of Lockerbie.

He has sanctioned acts of terror in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.

His relentless pursuit of terror.

We will make no distinction-

The U.S.S. Cole was attacked while refueling in the port of Aden-

This was an act of terrorism.

It was a despicable and cowardly act.

The next number we're gonna swing for you is one of the good ol' favorites.

Until something stops him.

I'm just making sure we don't get hit again.

We got a plane crashed into the World Trade Center.

Thousands of people running-

We must, and we will, remain vigilant at home and abroad.

What the fuck are you doing?

Fuck! I missed something once before.

I won't-I can't let that happen again.

It was 10 years ago. Everyone missed something that day.

Yeah, everyone is not me.

Once you've got to this position.

Previously on Homeland.

What did you say?

I'm an American.

Turns out he's one of ours.

Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody-

M.I.A. since early 2003 and presumed dead... until now.

Hi, Dad.

- Did you ever meet him? - Abu Nazir?

Was he ever present during any of your interrogations?

No.

So Abu Nazir's resurfacing...

just as Brody is miraculously returned home means nothing?

Dad.

If he is a terrorist', we need eyes and ears on Brody...

from the minute he steps off that plane.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - Hey, I know you.

I'm not going back in if it means you can't go back in.

That's not necessary.

Maybe we can hold our own private meeting out here. How's that sound?

It's tempting.

How about your wife?

I can't be with her...

but I can with you.

The fucking C.I.A. thinks I'm working for Al-Qaeda?

I think you're working for Al-Qaeda.

I was broken, living in the dark for years...

and a man walked in...

and he was kind to me.

And you became his follower?

For the last time, Carrie, I am not what you think I am.

I pray every day...

that you never lose sight of what you committed to do in lssa's name.

The switch is here.

Wait until the last second before you open it.

I read that part of the blast goes upward toward here-the point of weakness.

There is a bigger, pernicious Abu Nazir-worthy plot out there...

and we have little time.

We have to code it, collide it, collapse it, contain it.

She is bipolar. She's stable on her meds.

- Why didn't she ever tell me? - She said no one at work could know.

Your office at Langley is being cleared as we speak.

I am about to solve this fucking thing!

- What are you doing here? - It's about your dad.

Was he hit?

He is with the vice president and other innocent people.

He is going to kill them if we don't stop them.

Okay, the world is about to end, and we're standing around talking!

Do not move.

Saul, you have to listen to me.

The woman that was hit-she is not the target.

Right now they're putting the vice president and his team in a single smell space.

They're supposed to be safe there, but they're not. They're vulnerable.

Say the holy words. Remember lssa.

Got a call for you from your daughter.

- Dana, I got to call you back. - No, Dad. No.

There was this crazy woman at our house.

Dad, she said that you're a terrorist.

You have to prom/Se me that you're coming home, Dad.

I'm coming home, Dana.

I know about your condition.

You need to get some help.

I am.

And you need to stay away from me.

Good-bye, Brody.

I can't live like this anymore. It needs to stop.

What about the side effects-memory loss?

Saul, I've made up my mind.

Countering criticism from the international community...

the Israeli government continues to defend...

its successful bombing of five Iranian nuclear facilities.

Demonstrators held protests outside of U. S. Embassies...

over the American government's support of Israel.

- I told you to turn it off. - I.D.F. spokesman Yigal Nitzani...

called Iran's claim of 3,000 casualties...

"a gross exaggeration meant to stir international outrage-

- Dad. - Against Israel and its "-

it's not like she doesn't know what's going on over there.

Of course she does.

But why wave it in her face?

I mean, she's finally gotten to a good place.

Depends how you define “good.”

What do you mean?

I think her lithium levels are too high.

That is for her and Dr. Rosenberg to decide.

When mine were too high, I couldn't read for six months.

Stay out of it.

Puttering around in that stupid garden like your mother used to do.

Morning, guys-

- Hey, want some pancakes? - No, thanks.

- You sure? - Yeah.

I've got a bunch of exams to grade before class.

And, Dad, you can turn the TV back on now.

- What did I tell you? - Legitimate mili-

You said a woman gave this to our cutout.

- You didn't say who. - That's the thing, sir. We don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

She contacted us with a priority-three code-

intelligence about an attack on U.S. interests.

Someone in this station must be running her.

Except no one has any idea who she is.

We were hoping you might. Let me show you.

I've never seen her before.

Well, she wants a face-to-face at one of our designated dead drops.

- When? - In two hours.

Get the car ready. You're gonna drop me outside.

Sir, the last unconfirmed asset we trusted blew himself up with five of our officers.

Shouldn't we work our sources, find out who she is first?

Two days ago, Israel bombed five nuclear sites deep inside Iran.

Ayatollahs are not amused.

They've climbed into their minbars, vowed to retaliate against the West.

You're saying it's not a coincidence this woman comes forward now?

I'm saying it's not a coincidence we can ignore.

I'll get the car.

Allahu Akbar!

I think we got company.

You'd think they'd at least change out their follow car.

Why are you running away?

I came here 'cause you wanted to talk.

You are confusing me with someone else.

I don't think so.

You said you had information about an attack.

No, Aaron, that's not what I'm saying.

I just-We're trying to get some sort of confirmation.

Well, get him on the phone.

- Sir. - Morning, Betsy.

- Who? - The vice president.

Mr. Vice President.

Congressman.

I understand the wives are becoming fast friends.

Oh, Mrs. Walden's been great, sir.

Getting Dana and Chris into school, helping with their scholarships.

Well, that's what Cynthia does. Now it's our turn.

Sir?

Build some mutual trust.

Within the hour, my campaign is going to float your name...

as a potential running mate on the ticket.

Assuming you're interested, of course.

Are you serious? This is for real?

We've got a long way to go to the convention...

and there are other hats in the ring...

but I believe you're the future of the party.

So I'll ask you again. Are you interested?

Hell, yes.

That's the answer I was looking for the first time.

Understood, sir. Thank you.

There is one other thing.

I had you vetted by my search committee.

Background check by the F.B.I. Turned you inside out.

What did we miss, Nick?

What flaw in your character? What deep, abiding secret?

I need to know. I need to know now.

I've been in a Taliban hole, sir, for eight years.

I didn't get much of a chance to misbehave.

Fair enough. But here's what people are gonna say about that.

You were a prisoner a long time. Too long.

You're damaged goods.

You really want me to respond to that?

You can hit a curveball. That's good.

Expect my office to send over a preliminary schedule.

First up are the Sunday talk shows.

I'm also arranging an intelligence briefing.

I want you prepped for the inevitable questions...

about the crisis in the Middle East.

- I appreciate that, sir. - And good luck.

- Nice work, Hana. - Thank you.

You too, Hakim.

Almost perfect, Omar. Watch out for the extra pronoun though.

It's not: "Those are the sunglasses I want to buy them."

It's: “Those are the sunglasses I want to buy.”

Those are the sunglasses I want to buy.

Good.

Um-

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

- What do you want? - How are you, Carrie?

I'm fine.

Hey, I'm sorry I never stopped by the hospital. I always meant to.

Don't worry about it. I wasn't exactly having a party.
