Homeland

Previously, on Homeland...

We have to buy time, 40 minutes, maybe an hour,

till they're in the air.

- I'm not leaving you. - I agreed with Saul.

If things go wrong, this is the plan.

What, to allow them to fucking catch you?

speaking foreign language.

It was you.

Carrie Mathison, you're just going to leave her here?

Ms. Martin, what was your most recent operation?

We tried to compromise your president

and push her out of office.

Your medication.

How do you wanna spend the rest of your days here?

Reading nice books that Alexander brings you

and exercising in the yard...

or going mad, locked up in an asylum?

No one back in Moscow

is much in the mood to negotiate, anyway.

Maybe it's better if you wait a few months.

I can't wait a few months.

I don't even know if she'll be alive in a few months.

Go.

You all right? You all right?

No, no, no, no. Not the coat.

No, no, no, no, no. Not the coat.

Not the coat. Not the coat.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

No, no, no, no!

Rough ride?

You need to sleep.

I'm trying.

It's been almost six hours.

You can have another Lorazepam.

No, I wanna wean myself.

Maybe a half.

Blood work?

Tomorrow.

Sorry.

No, come on in. Have a seat.

Is Doug...

I'm sitting in for Doug.

Jim Turrow.

You're his supervisor. Is that right?

You want anything to drink?

Uh, no. No, I'm good.

Okay if I ask you a few questions?

Sure.

You were detained in Russia for 213 days?

Yes.

And you were interrogated for the first...

Uh, 30ish...

Who was your interrogator?

Um, a colonel named Sergei Tobokov,

most of the time, anyway.

GRU.

Why'd he stop?

All of this is in the file.

It's a big file.

Can you tell me why he stopped interrogating you?

I think because I threw my feces at him.

And was that strategic?

No, no.

I... I... I was in the midst of a florid psychosis.

They withheld my medication

and it took about 20 days for me to devolve

into a not very helpful subject, um,

but they kept at it for another week or so.

I can't give you an exact figure.

After that, it's all either blank

or a series of images

that don't much comport with reality.

Um, if we're doing this the slow way,

may... maybe I will take some water.

Doug informs me you'd like to be reinstated at the agency.

Yes.

Yes, I would like that very much.

A security clearance isn't an option

with upwards of 180 days unaccounted for.

Yeah, I know that.

That's why I've been working so hard

with Dr. Foley and Doug,

just trying to fill in the gaps.

Did they give you the impression

that wasn't the case?

No.

Did they tell you you failed your polygraph?

Deception indicated.

So you're gonna have to bear with me.

Um... which questions?

You said it was usually Tobokov but not always.

I'd like to know which questions, please.

Quite a few, actually.

Such as?

Have you ever conspired

with a foreign intelligence officer or service?

Wh... so... so what does that mean?

Are... are you accusing me of something?

Could mean a lot of things:

giving up sources and methods,

working for the enemy.

You tell me.

My memory doesn't distinguish between what was real

and... and what wasn't.

You get that, right?

The polygraph doesn't care if you were delusional.

It says you were lying.

I edit my answers, because I don't trust

my own brain.

That's what it's picking up.

Maybe.

We expected that going into this.

Dr. Foley and Doug both said it was a possibility.

Why is he acting like this is incriminating?

We expected it.

You wanna jump in here?

Sit down, please.

You did admit to giving up the location

of a safe house in Beirut.

Yeah, one that hasn't been active for decades.

I believe at that point

I had been kept awake for 96 hours.

- What about assets? - What about them?

Did you ever reveal the identity of an asset?

No.

Maybe somebody who died ten years before.

No, assets have families. I wouldn't do that.

You sure?

How much more clearly can I say this?

I did not.

Ms. Mathison, how can you be so sure

if there's 180 days of your life

you don't remember?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Parties are prepared to work through dinner tonight.

Should we take that as a positive sign?

Just getting the Taliban to the table

has taken nine years.

So the fact they're sitting down

with the Afghan government at all is a positive.

Come on, Saul, make some news. It's been three weeks.

At least give us a sense of how it's going so far.

It's going; From what I understand,

there's a nice lamb kabsa on the menu tonight.

- Ha. - Okay.

How 'bout off the record then?

Sure.

Well, the list of missed opportunities

for peace in Afghanistan is long.

What do you see as the main obstacles to a deal?

Well, for one thing, America hasn't got

a whole lot of good options.

We're not staying forever.

President's made that abundantly clear.

We can't just walk away either.

Why not?

Well, our forces out past a critical point,

Kabul falls in six weeks.

General Edwards told me six months.

Trillion dollars spent,

more than 2,000 lives lost...

it's a U.S. surrender any way you look at it.

Other issue is the Taliban itself.

It's not clear they have anything to gain

by a political settlement.

What do you mean, exactly?

Only reason to cut a deal is to get us to leave

sooner than later.

Which you just said isn't an option.

Not without serious security guarantees in place

before we go.

And what's wrong with that?

Nothing, if you think the Taliban will abide

by the terms of an agreement.

And will they?

Your guess is as good as mine.

President Warner seems confident enough.

Well, the President's an optimist.
