This isn't right, Luka.
This was our chance to be great.
I don't understand.
These men are traitors.
I thought they were heroes.
You will forget this.
No.
I don't think I will.
No.
You will.
Yes, sir.
Morning.
Good morning.
Haven't seen you for a while.
No, it's not you. It's me.
Well, I appreciate you making an exception today.
What can I get you?
Coffee. Black as you can make it.
- No lokma? - No.
I just made it.
All right. Yeah, sure. Why not?
Where is this going?
I have a friend who's fallen on hard times in Athens.
I'm sorry to hear that.
How much?
Five thousand.
Is it possible
to have it come with a request?
It may not be honored.
But I can relay a message.
Shukran.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time,
so a decision had to be made.
Yeah, and because of that,
you put us on shaky ground with our allies
and sent one of our own out into the wind.
I'm on my way there right now to bring him in.
I should hope so, 'cause if you don't,
it's not just his head on the block anymore.
I want regular updates.
Yes, absolutely.
You're late.
Well, good morning to you, too.
By the time we land in Athens, it'll be 12 hours
- since Ryan went off the grid. - Since you pushed him off.
I invited you along because I thought we were on the same page.
If we're not, I need to know now.
Let's be clear. I don't work for you.
I'm here because someone has to bring Jack in from the cold
before he does some stupid shit to get himself caught or worse.
And that someone is not you.
That "same page" enough for you?
Who was that? Miller?
Yes.
He knows you want his job?
I thought we were being honest.
Okay. If we're gonna be honest...
- We don't have to like each other. - No, we do not.
But a little civility isn't too much to ask.
Civility.
Elizabeth, you don't think I know?
You wanted me burned after Karachi.
That wasn't my call.
If it was, I wouldn't even be here.
You were like a hero to me, but you did fuck up.
- No, I made choices. - There were better ones.
Yeah, easy to say
when you spend your day hiding behind a desk.
But now we're gonna get to see what kind of choices you make.
He's gonna take this all the way, isn't he?
Just like you would.
If he thinks we turned on him, he's not ever coming in.
Political ramifications be damned?
If Jack is right about Sokol, politics is the exact thing
that's gonna get every one of us killed.
Good morning, sir. Everyone is here.
Thank you, Mikhail.
What is it our new Minister of Defense is hoping to achieve today?
Alexei will be sworn in this afternoon,
but he believes the Americans are to blame
for Minister Popov's assassination.
He wants an immediate response.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Mr. President.
Alexei, I'm glad you're back safely.
I am very sorry, sir.
Minister Popov was a good man.
That he was.
So let us not waste time.
I understand you think the Americans are responsible.
What evidence do we have?
There was a large deposit
in the assassin's account two weeks ago.
We are still tracking the source.
They used an intermediary to pull the trigger,
but the minister's blood is on their hands.
This is not enough to justify a course of action
that will provoke reprisals.
Mr. President,
there's a coordinated effort underway to weaken us.
The expansion of NATO to our doorstep,
oil price wars designed to chip away at our wealth,
the imposition of sanctions that makes us pariahs.
And now, the minister's assassination comes on the same day we learn
about the failed attempt by American intelligence
to extract one of our nuclear scientists.
- Seeking asylum? - The CIA hoped to turn him.
Fortunately, the mission backfired.
I fear we're under attack, sir.
We are always under attack.
We're just too busy hiding to do anything about it.
Luka.
Thank you for your words in there.
Your support was unexpected.
- You misheard me. - Did I?
It is not my place or inclination to take sides.
There are no sides, comrade.
There's only Russia and what's best for her.
How do you feel we should respond to the Americans?
Opinions are for politicians.
Is there something you want from me, Minister?
The job is not mine.
It will be.
But if you want to keep it,
it would serve you to refrain from arguments
that are steeped in easily assailable intelligence.
I thought you didn't peddle in opinions.
That wasn't one.
We both know
that the money trail to the Czech assassin was manufactured.
A plot indeed, but it wasn't the Americans.
And the scientist?
He intended to seek asylum.
The Americans got onto it.
A leak from our side.
But we got onto it, too, made sure he didn't talk.
If what you say is true, what does that tell you?
Someone
is playing a very dangerous game.
Welcome to Athens.
Eros Makris. I'm the Chief of Police.
- Elizabeth Wright. - James Greer.
Thank you for accepting our request for assistance.
It was not my choice.
Your man killed one of our own,
so unless you're here to see justice done,
you'll only be in my way.
Great. Where do we start?
We start here.
He won't go far, even if he leaves the country.
You issued a Red Notice?
They didn't issue the Red Notice. We did.
For the brutal murder of a Russian national
- by your operative. - That did not happen.
What is Russian intelligence doing here?
I'm from the embassy, just as the two of you are.
Diplomats, I presume?
I don't know what he told you,
but I can guarantee every word of it is a lie.
We are willing to hear your man's side of the story
if he would simply turn himself in.
In the absence of that, we must presume guilt.
Their Russian national was a nuclear scientist seeking asylum.
He came here on holiday.
Hiding in the hold of a ship?
How did you learn of his intention? Did you pull the trigger yourself?
We'll be coordinating with the U.S. embassy
to figure out what happened here.
I don't expect your cooperation,
but I do expect you to stay the hell out of our way.
This changes everything.
Old friend of yours?
Konstantin Vyatkin.
We had a few run-ins when I was working Moscow Station.
He's not as smart as he thinks, but he is more brutal than he looks.
If he's looking for Jack, we better find him first.
Can I help you?
I think you might have something for me.
For you?
From a broker
in Rome.
Wait here.
You got everything you need?
Where's this?
It looks like it's in Piraeus.
Piraeus.
Thank you.
The tie. You don't need it?
Doesn't really go with my outfit.
But could I use your computer?
Go ahead.
Fourth one down.
What's that?
List of our known contacts in this city.
Assets, contractors, you name it.
Seems Jack has a history with one of them.
Ah, shit.
It's Tony.
He's a smuggler, pimp.
Jack had a run-in with him a couple years back in Turkey.
Cracked him in his face.
Can't imagine he's itching to give Jack safe haven.
We're going. Give me the address.
Okay. It's your call.
- You coming? - Yeah. Right behind you.
Phone records?
No incoming or outgoing calls.
And he hasn't used any data
since the two of you landed this morning.
What about email?
I need special authorization to access his personal accounts.
You'll have it. If anyone tries to reach out to James Greer,
I need to know. Keep at it.
The investigation is still ongoing, so I need to put you in lockdown.
Lockdown? For how long?
Until I'm certain that you were not the target or among them.
If the killer wanted me dead, I would be.
There is no way of knowing if...
Abundance of caution. I get it.
- Madam, the CIA's here. - Bring her in.
I hope that's not guilt.
The football match was my idea, and the minister agreed.
We understood the risks.
You cannot plan for every contingency.
Any more information about the shooter?
Nothing new. Just that the Russians blame the Americans.
Of course they do.
Ms. Cahill.
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
I know you spoke with the president,
but I wanted to reach out in person, offer any assistance.
At the moment, we're managing, but thank you.
We've been hearing some rumors.
Yes.
We've heard them, too.
I hope it goes without saying
the United States had nothing to do with the Defense Minister's death.
- Do I have your word on that? - Absolutely, Madam President.
I assume your station is conducting its own investigation.
We are.
We were hoping your office would give us
access to the CCTV footage from the football arena.
Of course.
Whatever you need.
Thank you, Madam President.
Excuse me.
Sorry. I was given this address.
Supposed to meet someone, but...
Someone sent me here.
Jack.
You got to be fucking kidding me.
No hug?
Hello, old friend.
Did you forget something?
You said second half when it's done.
Of course. Of course.
- So where's my money? - Don't worry.
I'll make sure your children know the truth.
It's done.
It's a great honor, sir.
I hope to make you proud.
In exercising the powers of the Minister of Defense
of the Russian Federation...
In exercising the powers of the Minister of Defense
of the Russian Federation...
I swear to defend and respect the Constitution...
protect the security and integrity of the state...
and to faithfully serve its people.
What happened?
There's been a terrible accident.
I'm sorry.
There has been an accident.
I know who you are.
I know what you've done.
I know who you are! You're a killer!
Monster!
Forgive the intrusion, but...
I bring difficult news.
Thank you.
May I come in?
I don't...
What are you doing?
You cannot be here.
- How did you know? - I've been ill.
- You called in sick? - You want money?
Whatever you want, everything I have.
Please.
Please!
Wait a minute.
Holy shit.
James Greer, my friend from Cincinnati.
Always good to see you.
You lose weight? Usually I can hear you coming.
It's never hard to find you.
I just have to follow the grift across the Aegean.
We need to talk.
Yeah. Sure. Come in.
You know why we're here.
Yeah. Your Boy Scout.
What exactly do you know?
Only that something went sideways in Kerameikos.
He killed a police officer.
Saw it on the news.
He was set up.
Well, still has a target on his back,
not to mention anyone stupid enough to help him.
Cut the shit.
Come on, man.
You think he would come to me for help?
Last time I saw him, he wanted to put a bullet in me.
You remember?
Yeah, well, they put a Red Notice on him.
Well, then your friend is fucked.
If you hear from him, you'll let us know.
Sure. He knows me.
For a modest fee, I'm all yours.
Jack Ryan is one man.
Either he's pissed at you for crossing him,
or the entire U.S. intelligence community
is on your ass until the end of time.
Choice is yours.
Cincinnati.
Can we trust him?
Can you ever?
If Jack's still here, he's got to make a move soon.
- Let's keep eyes on him. - Eyes?
Our Russian friend beat us to it.
You were right.
It was her?
Yeah, and she brought our friend Cincinnati.
Wait.
Greer's here?
Do you know there's a Red Notice on you?
Jack Ryan, fugitive from justice.
Seems we have more in common than you thought.
Hardly.
Right.
One of us is still a friend to the United States.
Let me ask you a question.
Have you ever seen him?
I don't fuck with Russians. They only pay in pain.
Well, I never said he was Russian.
Does he know I'm here?
No.
You sure about that?
Unless they followed you, I've got nothing going with them.
I swear.
What do you know about him?
He's
unpleasant.
Well, that I got.
Around here, he gives the orders, not just to his people.
Local police shit their pants when he's around.
That means he's GRU.
Whoever had the scientist killed must have been military.
Maybe even the minister himself.
I think it's the best I don't know some things.
Tony.
Thank you.
You're my brother.
Yes?
Czech President Alena Kovac on the line.
Put her through. Thank you.
Madam President.
Mr. Petrov, I hear congratulations are in order.
Under most unfortunate circumstances.
I offer my sincere condolences
on behalf of our government and its people.
Thank you.
And I appreciate you expediting the minister's remains.
Of course.
Were you made aware of my discussions with him
prior to his death?
Straight to the point.
Must be why he took a liking to you.
He and I understood how important
relations are between our two countries.
A relationship that must be reevaluated in light of recent events.
I'm sure you understand.
Any deals the two of you made will not be honored.
I gathered as much,
given my call with President Oliynyk a few minutes ago.
He tells me you've begun moving more troops into Ukraine.
Military exercises.
And how long until these exercises extend into Eastern Europe?
That depends on you.
Any increase in NATO's presence in Czech Republic will be seen
as a threat to our national security.
So your intention is to capitalize on the minister's death
to advance a military agenda.
So much for your condolences.
I am not naive.
No. You are a pawn.
And if you wish to go to bed with the Americans,
know it will be seen as a hostile act by my country.
Good evening, Madam President.
This is going to be fun.
The new Defense Minister,
he's a prick, yes?
Took back the deal.
And leveled a threat against our country for his trouble.
Russia. They will retaliate.
You must be careful.
Is this my father talking or the former Red Army soldier?
Both.
Our defenses are on high alert.
I doubt we will be their target.
To them, it doesn't matter who pulled the trigger
as long as they can use the blame to serve their interests.
They killed him themselves.
I'm sure of it.
Americans prefer bombs to bullets.
Posturing in Ukraine, the threats?
I was hesitant to sign with NATO, but now...
I worry they've left me no choice.
You must do what's best to protect your people, Alena.
Are you sleeping?
No.
Transcendentally meditating?
I was trying to.
- Say what you have to say. - Well, I'm concerned.
I know you and Jack are close, so this must be very hard for you.
I don't need your sympathy.
What I need from you is to give him a break.
He's been in your office, what, 10 months?
That's long enough to know who he is.
This is bigger than him now.
Whether he's right or wrong is not the point.
He needs to know he can't go off half-cocked
every time he gets an idea in his head.
Yeah. I used to think that.
You know him so well, what's his play?
Well, he's meticulous. He wouldn't do anything...
he didn't know every detail thought through.
Jack, how are you with tight spaces?
Jesus.
Do they know something we don't know?
No.
Russians just want Jack's silence fast.
Hi, boys.
Where is he?
Who?
Don't play stupid.
It will not end well for you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm just trying to keep the lights on here
just fixing up some cars, you know.
Turkish pimp.
We know exactly who you are.
Rip this place apart.
Please don't scare my bird.
No, we can't go swooping in there.
We're already on thin ice with the Russians and the Greeks.
Then you better pray they don't find him.
So where's Jack?
Like I said, he's meticulous.
Took you long enough.
You are a popular guy.
I'm gonna need one more thing.
I see you are settling in.
Yes, yes.
Please, sit.
I promise I didn't ask you here for your opinion.
I know you hate that.
Your allegiance is to country, as is mine.
I thought the two of us might come to our own understanding.
You should be having this conversation with the director.
We both know his position is decorative.
You are the one who commands respect in these halls,
and it is your respect I was hoping to earn.
Minister Popov was a piece of shit.
But I have no respect for the way it was handled.
I understand.
The fact I was not told.
That was my call.
You know better than anyone that trust is hard-won.
You ask for my loyalty,
but you require that I give it blindly?
You think yourself a patriot,
but when I expose the truth,
you twist it to suit your purpose.
But I have a purpose.
How long has it been since you fought for something, Luka?
I need a favor.
There is a man, an American intelligence officer,
who has proven to be more relentless than expected.
I was hoping you might help me with that.
Feels like forever since I've had a home-cooked meal.
Thank you.
Don't thank me. My wife is the thoughtful one.
Not there, honey. Come sit over here.
No, she's fine. Stay right where you are.
The lockdown is over.
Finally, some good news.
I'm convinced you're not now and never were a target.
I hope everyone is hungry.
- Look at that. - Thank you.
This is lovely. Thank you.
Wasn't really in the market for a Camaro.
But the offer was just too good to pass up.
I got this for you.
Didn't cost me five grand, but they tell me it's good.
You sent him money
through the hawala network before we even left Rome.
You had me followed?
You actively undermined the mission.
Was the smuggler your idea, too?
If the Russians get a hold of him, it's not just intelligence we'd lose.
I was throwing him a lifeline.
And now, because of you, we're leaving with nothing.
So are the Russians.
I know what people think of me.
Overly ambitious, abrasive, cutthroat, coldhearted.
Just one bullshit cliché after the other,
but I'll tell you what I'm not.
I am not the one that you lie to.
All right. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Jack is onto something big, and we both know it.
He needs to play this out, and we need to let him.
Hey.
Yeah, I'll be home in a few hours.
I promise.
Okay. I love you, too.
That wasn't Miller.
No. We've already spoken.
We're sending you to Prague.
You need to make sure that President Kovac's next steps
are in line with U.S. and NATO interests.
You didn't tell him, did you?
About the hawala money? No.
You proved I can't trust you. That doesn't mean I can't use you.
If Jack thinks he's onto something, then I need you to get ahead of him.
It was your one "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Wow.
Barely making ends meet, huh?
I make do.
They didn't give you a choice, but you didn't give them one either.
I mean, you can't just ignore the politics.
I'm not.
I turn myself in now,
my source goes quiet and the trail goes cold.
Right. Sorry. You know, it's been a while.
I forgot that you're the center of everything.
Listen, man, they burned me.
We trade in bullshit for a living, Jack.
Don't lie to yourself on top of it.
You know, it's easier to be on the run when the CIA has your back.
I'm not running from the CIA.
Then why are they chasing you?
Better to be on the inside than the outside.
You know what?
Spare me the whole "You fuck up, you end up like me" speech
when you have a view like this.
So you gonna tell me what the fuck you're sitting on,
or do I have to guess?
Jesus.
What now?
Now...
I follow my intelligence back to the source,
see what else they know.
If your source is a ghost,
they're just fucking with you.
Well, whoever they are,
I'm dragging their ass out into the cold with me.
