Madam Secretary

My name is Luke Miller

I claimed to be a volunteer EMT

but was exposed as spy sent by the United States government

to undermine the Islamic State

President Dalton,

your air strikes bring pain upon your people

and death to your troops.

Now I must pay for your policies

which only plunge America into endless fire

Just as you execute our warriors,

we will exterminate all so-called American aid workers

within our borders.

They are heathens

and puppets of American intelligence

and will be killed like dogs.

He goes by Abu Nahar.

But based on his accent and his word choice,

it appears he's the first American in ISIS leadership.

Do we have any idea who the hell he is?

Our prelim analysis suggests that he's in his 20s,

a naturalized citizen, and a fluent, if not native,

Arabic speaker.

An American convert...

native in English and fluent in Egyptian Arabic--

that's got to be memorable.

Has CIA contacted local sources on ISIS borders?

Our field agents are reaching out.

The Times has dubbed this guy "Jihadi Judd,"

and the name's sticking.

This video has had two million views

since it's been uploaded an hour ago.

By tomorrow, 50 million will have watched an American recruit

murder his countryman.

Anyone on the fence about joining the Caliphate

just got a big push toward it.

We're rushing to shut down

availability of the video here.

My team's handling international traffic.

In the meantime, sir,

I advise evacuating all federally employed aid workers

in and near ISIS territory.

Do it.

Good morning, Madam Secretary.

I wish I could agree.

I have the number for Luke Miller's parents

when you're ready for condolences, ma'am.

I have a P.A. working every international search

and social media platform,

burying that video so deep even Criterion Collection won't find it.

Good. Nadine, coordinate with the Baghdad Embassy

and USAID to enforce the mandatory evacuations.

And line up assistance for NGO workers

heeding our exit recommendation. - Yes, ma'am.

So it's still a voluntary evacuation for NGO's?

Yes, but by the time you get finished with it,

it won't sound like one.

Also, draft a message to all state employees

posted in the Middle East in the past five years.

If anyone recalls an American citizen

fluent in Egyptian Arabic who'd be in his 20s now,

bring them to me.

I'll have it out by the hour.

Thank you.

Blake? - Yes?

I, uh...

I'm ready for that call.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello. Mr. And Mrs. Miller?

Here's a list of the NGOs operating around ISIS territory.

Follow up personally with the evacuation recommendation.

Quickly. - Of course.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I...

I have to talk to Tyler Hogan?

This would be tyler "The Hammer" Hogan?

He's very nice if you get him in a good mood.

How do I do that? Gift basket?

Or should I just throw him down the Exorcist steps?

He played tennis at Princeton.

Start there.

Also, he's an amateur geologist.

So the way to his heart is through tennis and rocks?

You might also remind him

that American lives are at stake.

Go ahead and sew him up.

3-0 polysorb.

The lung collapsed. Air's filling his chest.

It's compressing the heart.

Chest tube. Stat. - We're out.

The shipment didn't come this week.

Give me your pen. Now.

And some iodine.

Okay. Now you can sew him up.

Is Dr. Adams in there?

William Adams?

We need you at the rendezvous point now.

The evac convoy was supposed to leave 30 minutes ago.

Ah. No thanks, fellas.

I've got patients.

Sir, we have specific orders...

You're removing half the doctors from this camp.

I'm staying.

What...? Oh, come on.

You gotta be kidding me.

Put the pen to a vacuum for 24 hours, then pull it out, okay?

Let go of me!

Yeah?

Dr. McCord. Can I talk to you?

Come in.

You know, these aren't my regular office hours,

so from now on, if you could act like everyone

who just wants to come and talk about a paper, that'd be helpful.

I'm sorry.

The Ministry of Defense is recalling Ivan to Moscow.

Did you know about this?

I heard.

Is he a victim of the purge maria Ostrov just announced?

Sounds like you're worried that he is.

Her first act as our newly-elected president

and she's ridding the military of what she is calling

"Foreign agents disseminating Western propaganda."

Tell me what you think that means.

Homosexuals.

Sit.

Ivan is a good friend.

He lives for the army, for his country.

But recently, there are rumors...

Are they just rumors?

Ivan would never admit this directly, of course.

He hides it well, but...

he has maybe let his guard down a little in the U.S.

And you're afraid he'll be thrown in prison

because of his sexual orientation.

Jailers don't punish men like Ivan.

They let the other inmates take care of that.

Can his parents help?

You said they're political royalty.

His father would rather see his son dead

than exposed as gay.

You must protect him.

I'm very sorry, Dmitri,

but Ivan's just a student here.

Oh, he doesn't have a deal with the devil like I do.

I think maybe you're misidentifying the devil.

I know this is a shameful aspect of my country.

And this is how you persuaded me to work for you,

to change things like this.

But what-what good is this job

if I can't help save my friend?

There's a bigger picture. - You have a home.

A wife, children.

I am here. Alone.

Who can I talk to?

Talk to me.

You had me interrogated by Americans posing as FSB.

Half the time, I don't know

if you're helping me or trying to kill me.

You need to calm down.

We have been through this.

You know that I'm your ally here.

Then, please,

help Ivan.

I can't lose the closest friend

I have in this country.

Let me see what I can do.

We are not going to do anything.

Ivan's persona non grata at the Kremlin.

It's a good thing you moved us off of recruiting him.

Without Ivan's friendship,

I am very worried about Dmitri's psychological well-being.

Funny. It's the thought of Maria Ostrov's finger

over the red button that keeps me up at night.

Right, exactly.

That's why we should use every resource we have

to make sure that doesn't happen.

Turn around this whole situation in Eastern Europe.

Tell me you agree with me on that, please.

Okay, you are getting way out of your depth, here.

You gotta back off. - Look, if-if Dmitri snaps,

we lose an asset who is poised to rise

through the ranks of the Russian military.

Okay, all the more reason not to compromise him

just to try to save a random junior officer.

Look, I know we have other agents in the Russian army.

There's got to be a lever we can pull

to keep Ivan at the War College. - Henry!

I am not risking any DIA assets on this.

End of discussion.

Then take it out of DIA's hands.

We get Ivan asylum in the U.S.

Oh, great. We bring State into DIA business.

It works.

To Ivan, I'm a concerned professor with the resources to help.

Wow. Backing off really is not your gift, is it?

You asked me to handle Dmitri.

Let me do my job.

DIA's prints are nowhere.

You just play the sympathetic professor card.

That is it.

His name is Adam Fanning.

He's the son of Judith Fanning,
