Lioness

* MTV...

Hey.

- Are you close? - I'm getting close.

Weather's not cooperating with our weekend.

- You are wrong. The weather is perfect.

I love the rain.

Hurry, I have a surprise for you.

I'm hurrying.

- Hurry harder. Your surprise has to leave at seven.

What's my surprise?

- Five women just arrived, two of them have massage tables.

So it looks like you're going to have a spa day.

Wonderful.

Look at the bright side.

Yeah?

- I don't know, I haven't thought of one yet.

Well, here's the bright side.

I mean, you're not talking when you have a facial.

Three days alone with this girl,

every lie you tell her, she is going to remember.

Tell the truth, just change the names and locations.

Answer questions with questions then do a lot of listening.

Roger that.

No, not "roger that".

This is her wanting to know you.

I need you to understand the risks.

I understand the risk.

Guess we're gonna find out.

- Hey, Cruz. We write all this stuff down.

So you'll have a cheat sheet for the next time, okay?

- Let's worry about next time when we have one.

Hey.

The debrief's at the White House now.

The White House. Why?

Who's in the debrief?

- I don't know yet. I'm gonna pick you up.

We'll talk about it in the car.

My meeting's been moved to the White House now.

I heard.

Heard from who?

- If it would make a difference, I'd tell you.

- Do you know who's in this meeting?

Don't you?

- I knew who was in the debrief was at Langley.

Well, it won't be the President.

- Wouldn't be the President anyway.

You don't plan bus routes with the bus driver.

You just tell him where to drive.

- I see the Secretary of State has canceled his trip to Poland.

Fuck.

Who called you?

- We don't do that. He called me in confidence.

I'm your fucking wife.

You have the same rule.

- If you give something you get something.

You trading for sex now?

- No, I'm gonna give you something you actually want.

Something that helps you.

- National Security Advisor asking if you

went to San Antonio.

- He doesn't need to call you to answer that question.

Nope.

They're nervous.

- Real nervous. Worried about loose lips.

Wanted to know if I knew.

My turn.

- There's a mole... Qudrah Petrol.

- No shit, Kate. You said useful.

- It's not one of our moles.

Which nation?

Not nation. Group.

- Which group? - More like a parent company.

- You're making me work pretty hard for my slice, Kaitlyn.

- That's because you're not asking the right questions.

Not a nation, not a state.

- You call it a group. - Mm-hm.

- Parent company, which means there's a lot

of little companies--

- What are the two tallest buildings in New York?

Today?

One World Trade Center and Central Park Tower.

- Groups like these are the reason

they're the tallest buildings.

- That's your mole. - That's my mole.

He runs a sort of...

What we call a bank for terrorists.

- Interesting. - Mm-hm.

Not sure how it helps me.

Oh, it helps you.

It helps you when we get him because getting him

puts 80 billion dollar's worth

of black market oil back on the open market.

I'm gonna be late.

- Kate, you're assuming putting it back

on the open market is a good thing.

Isn't it?

- It's a matter of perspective, I suppose.

Whose perspective?

- Look who's asking the wrong questions now.

Welcome back, Miss Adid.

- Thanks. - Luggage in the trunk?

I travel light.

Do I just...

Can I go in?

- Please. - Thanks.

Zara!

We must hurry or they won't have time to do everything.

What's everything?

You'll see.

Come on.

Ah!

Ooh...

Ow.

Damn it.

- If they only knew the pain of looking beautiful.

If only I'd known.

How often do you do this?

You've never been to a spa?

I'm... Weird about people.

I don't like being poked at.

You've never had a facial?

No.

But you've been to Hammam.

No.

How no?

We don't have money.

- You have money to shop in Kuwait.

My uncle has money.

And to auction me off to a husband, he spent some.

My fanciest dinner was with you.

My first ride in a jet was with you.

First ride in a fucking Range Rover was with you.

Sorry, I don't mean to swear.

- God gave you to the wrong family, I think.

Or there was a mix-up at the hospital the day you were born.

You deserve all those things.

I think your uncle is the wrong man to find you a husband.

I think that's my new job.

But it will be tricky: No Ehsans for you.

You will need a dreamer.

But dreamers don't have money.

It's okay, I find you a dreamer with money.

There has to be one.

I can't promise you handsome and money and dreamer,

but I'll get you two of the three.

I don't care about money.

- That's because you've never had any.

Describe to me your perfect man,

so when I'm shopping I know what to look for.

Uh...kind.

Capable.

Stand up for his beliefs.

I don't really care what his beliefs are

as long as he stands up for them.

Stands up for me.

Looks me in the eye when he speaks.

What's he look like?

I couldn't care less.

- I think it's you who are the dreamer.

This is easily the most uncomfortable

I've been in my life...

and that's saying something.

This is to relax.

And your skin will glow like the sun.

If this makes you uncomfortable,

I worry for you and the mud.

Mud?

Now are you relaxed?

Gets everywhere, doesn't it?

Oh! Shit!

Yeah, it's, uh...

One big damn shower.

Not small.

- Been in a steam before, I'm sure.

Yeah, I've been in a steam.

I used to box.

- Box? I don't know box.

Mulakima.

Oh, Fight?

Of course you did.

Was that the bruises?

I haven't done it in years.

But when I did it, we would have to sweat to make weight.

Try to get real skinny before the weigh in,

and then put all the water back in you before the fight.

I've been in a steam room.

Never seen one in a house, but I know them.

But still.

No car wreck.

It was a man.

- Why did you let him do that to you?

- I didn't let him do anything.

- Men don't start with beatings.

They start with shoves and slaps.

Then punches, then the beatings.

If you get a beating you let him

because you didn't leave with the slap.

It was the last beating.

I made sure of it.

How did you make sure?
