"President Salnikov is making noises about rejecting the entire framework agreement outright." "The fact is," "Russia welcomes the money American billionaires hide in dummy Russian corporations." "But frankly, plenty of Russian oligarchs do the same thing here in the U.S." "So they're willing to look the other way when terrorists hide their money, as long as the billionaires are happy." "With the rhetoric coming out of the Kremlin, the gaggle wants to know if it's Cold War 2.0." "ELIZABETH:" "Oh, come on, we're not even close to a cold war." "A little chilly, maybe." "Ma'am, you're needed in the White House." "All right, find out what Salnikov wants." "Two hours ago, Jordanian West Bank border." "This vehicle way back in the line, that's Reverend Andrew Slattery." "We believe that the two men on either side are." "Dr. Bill Zanner and Lance Abbot." "Our missing doomsday cult members." "We identified the two men in front as Al-Qaeda-in-Syria lieutenants." "I take it this isn't a cross-cultural exchange program." "Confirms our theory that the VFF and Al-Qaeda are working together." "And now they're inside Israel." "Not necessarily." "Based on our warnings," "IDF had beefed up security on all border checkpoints." "Moments after this was taken, they turned around, bugged out." "Our best guess is that they'll make another run at getting into Israel through a smuggling tunnel." "Okay." "Doesn't Israel know the location" " of those tunnels?" " Not all of them." "But the Palestinians do." "We can ask, but I doubt the Palestinian Authority wants to give up its only real strategic advantage to Israel." "What else, Ephraim?" "I'd like to send a joint CIA-FBI task force to Jerusalem to liaise with Mossad, so we can work shared Intel in real time." "Just Agent Maloof and Dr. McCord" " and a support team." " Excuse me?"

"If only there were some method of communication where you could send messages almost instantaneously." "I'm sorry you felt ambushed." "I'm sorry that I called you out in front of the leader of the free world."

"I've been on point with the VFF mission since the beginning..." "are you really that surprised?" "Okay, okay, it's not that you're going, it's that you" " didn't tell me."

"Or maybe she's a mustang and we broke her." "And way ahead of schedule." "No, I'm serious." "I had to grow up way too soon, and it was no fun." "And it did serious damage to my relationship with my little brother." "You and Will are fine and this has nothing to do with what you guys went through." "I know."

"But the tunnel was being entered by IDF on the West Bank side right about the time they were shot." "So, Al-Qaeda got wind and bailed on the joint attack." "That's our operating theory." "So, we have doomsday weapons in the hands of hardened terrorists with unknown intentions and not a single clue on their whereabouts." "Is there a more optimistic slant, or is that about the size of it?" "Well, our team just arrived in Jerusalem." "Dr. McCord and Agent Maloof will be working directly with Mossad."

"You know, help her sort of break out on her own," " find her own... thing." " Okay." "The muzzle was starting to chafe." "Thanks." "Listen, if we could just keep it between the two of us, I think that'd be..." "Kind of ironic, asking me to secretly pull strings to help make your daughter more independent." "Wo... (sighs)" "HENRY:" "We found Al-Qaeda SIGINT in Mossad's most recent intercepts referring to a lab in Deir ez-Zor, Syria." "With mentions of medical equipment used to create a virus and human trials on captured Syrian soldiers." "Very Mengele-esque." "Deir ez-Zor is in the middle of the country, in Al-Qaeda-held territory." "Still, we recommend an op." "It could provide a trove of intelligence." "DALTON:" "Trouble is, we're on the rebel side of a civil war in Syria." "It's one thing to fight Al-Qaeda, but we'd have to get past government forces, too." "Well, I can reach out to Avdonin, see if the Russians are ready to pave the way" " with the Syrian government." " Hold our noses at Russia's human rights abuses in Syria." "Well, how interested are we in that lab?" "The Russians would insist on making this a joint operation, wouldn't they?" "That's my expectation." "Well, who knows?"

"Hearing rumors about military operations in the Middle East." "Are you?" "(chuckles) Just wondering if the secretary's still planning on going to the banking conference in Rome." "Yeah, because... conflict in one area of the world always derails us from our plans in a completely different area" " of the world." " Right." "Never mind." "Is there something you'd like to discuss?" "No." "No." "I mean, I'm not thrilled at the idea of seeing all my former colleagues from Baldwin and Wilder suck up even more profit under the guise of helping to defund terrorism, but... other than that, no." "No, no concern at all." " Oh, right." " (sighs)" "You started in finance." "Yeah." "One year." "One year as an analyst is all it took for me to realize it wasn't for me, and to haunt me for the rest of my days." "So, you have anxiety about running into old colleagues?" "Not unless you count waking up at 2:00 a.m. in a cold sweat from stress nightmares that I'm back there and all the doors are locked and I'm naked, but, well, not really." "(laughs)" "I don't know why it's bothering me so much." "I mean, sure, I went into public service, and they all stayed and got filthy rich, but..." "Is that what you wanted for yourself?" "No." "Maybe." "No." "It's just that they're all so... (groans) insanely competitive, and they're gonna think of me as a failure." "I know." "You think I'm insanely competitive, too."

"I mean, um, I don't want to go to Harvard, or any law school." "I just, it's... if I go," "I'm gonna be ditching the opportunity to-to help my family while Mom is still one of the most powerful people on the planet, and Dad is working the War College and doing all this other secrety stuff that I know he does and... they need me." "And at-at the risk of being presumptuous," "I think you need me." "Yeah, that's presumptuous." "Okay." "Well, I mean, maybe then, I need you, or, um..." "I need to be doing work that matters today." "Law school can wait." " (sighs)" " I mean, service is-is the family business, kind of, I guess." "And, um..." "I'm happy where I am." "And you just realized all this?" "Uh... (sighs)" "McCords." "(door closes)" "Well, I guess that's the end of the movie." "(chuckles) We had front row seats to all the ugliness done in the name of our religions." "So, that was fun." "Look, for what it's worth," "I struggle with my faith, too." "I constantly want to feel closer to God." "I feel like it's right there, but there's a barrier." "Maybe it's everything we face with our work making me doubt, making me angry, but I still think I'll get there." "Tomorrow, next week." "But the years keep going by." "Maybe that feeling, that yearning, maybe that's all there is." "Maybe that's enough." "Maybe." "Pleasure." "So long, Mo." "Thanks for dropping me off first, ma'am." "It's totally unnecessary." "No problem, dude." "It was on the way." "I still can't really pull off "dude," can I?" "No, ma'am." "I'm gonna work on it." "I'm sure you'll get there." "Good night, Madam Secretary." "Good night." "Ma'am, I'm bi." "Yeah." "Bye." "I'll see you in the morning." "Wait." "Ma'am." " (knocking on window)" " Ma'am?" "Ma'am." "What?" "Did you forget something?" "No, I'm bi, ma'am." "Bisexual." "I know." "You're probably like," ""What?" "Why is he telling me this now?"" "And I can't say for certain, um, but it definitely has to do with an old boyfriend who can be kind of a jerk, but makes good points." "One of them is about what I always considered my right to privacy, which, of course, I still believe in." "It's in the Constitution, for God's sake." "But, um, I realize now my right to privacy is different than me choosing to be private and really has more to do with trusting people with my private business, which is hard for me, because I've experienced a lot of weird bi-phobia" "from everyone..." "I mean, straight people, gay people." "Not that I think that you're bi-phobic or homophobic or phobic about anything." "It's just, I've gotten used to keeping people at arm's length, because, uh, (sighs) I'm not dumb." "I know people are confused by me, or-or curious, and that's fine." "I've just, I've never felt the obligation to satisfy anyone's curiosity by posting pictures of me with a boyfriend or a girlfriend on social media, like every other millennial." "And I always justified that by thinking," ""What does it matter about me?" I mean, there's so many more important things going on in the world, like what just happened in Rome." "I mean, who cares about my sexuality?" "But I realize now it's m-maybe kind of the opposite." "That if I can't be honest with people about who I am, then how can I ever have an honest experience with them?" "Sorry." "I really hope I'm not crossing the line right now." "It's just, I couldn't wait another minute, because I just, I respect you and I like you so much." "And I think that we know each other pretty well, and I'd like to think that you kind of like me, too." "And if I can't be open with you about this, then how is any of that even true?" "That's all. (chuckles)" "Good night." "(Blake sighs)" "Good night, Blake." "Subtitle sync and corrections by awaqeded for"
