Look at me.
Please don't make me do this.
We've worked so hard for this moment.
I don't think I can do it.
Yes, you can.
I know you can.
I believe in you...
My love.
More than ever.
You do?
♪ Frère Jacque, Frère Jacque ♪
♪ Dormez-vous, dormez-vous? ♪
The man that I was before...
would he have been able to kill them?
The man you were... sent here by the CIA...
to murder me.
And now look at you.
Such progress.
These methods of mine, I know...
they are complicated.
But you...
You are my most promising subject.
My cicada.
A cicada?
An amazing little creature.
They burrow underground
just beneath the surface...
for years at a time... and wait.
And then they awaken
from their long slumber.
And die.
Yes... but not before
they fulfill their destiny.
You will be a great solider for our cause.
But right now... you need your rest.
Wait, Dr. Meisner.
- There's something - I need to ask.
Okay.
Gustav...
Jesus.
I believed in you.
I thought we had something.
Halt!
- Are you seeing - what I'm seeing?
Okay.
- Tell Levine I'll be in the - situation room in two minutes.
We've just received an incoming message
from General Chin-Hwa Kwon
- of the North Korean - People's Army.
- He's in London - with a delegation,
And he's requested to speak
to a woman named Tara Coleman.
Now, this request
is completely unprecedented
- given Kwon's position, - so I need to know everything
About this woman, Tara Coleman.
She's a journalist.
Used to be a journalist.
- She's currently - a London cab driver.
We've got Matt Edwards
on the ground, he's in London.
- I'm moving. - 60 seconds out.
What's her background?
Raised in London,
both parents and her sister
killed in a car accident when she was 10.
She was also in the vehicle.
She was the lone survivor.
None of which explains
- why Tara Coleman - is the woman of the hour.
- This might have something - to do with an article
- That she was working on - a few years ago.
Headline?
Soviet era nuke currently
aimed at Washington, D.C.
She believes that a decommissioned nuke
known as Stiletto Six
ended up on the black market.
This was full of holes;
she lost all credibility.
Editor pulled the plug on it, fired her,
- and she has not - published a word since.
Was she right... about
a nuke being aimed at D.C.?
- No, not as far as - the Agency's concerned.
- Well, that's not exactly - reassuring.
Five seconds out.
- Why is potentially - the most valuable defector
In North Korean history
- asking to speak - to a discredited journalist
Turned cab driver?
I don't know.
Ask her yourself.
- Matt Edwards? - Yeah.
Marriott County Hall.
Okay.
Traffic cam at A301 and Strand...
- she's headed south - towards Westminster Bridge.
I like Fela Kuti, too.
You're into Nigerian music?
- Yeah, - I spent some time there.
Oh, my sister got me into it.
- Yeah? - Is that her?
Yeah.
You two close?
She's my best friend.
Oh, uh, take Belvedere road.
- Uh, we'll get stuck - in traffic.
- Well, - I could use the extra time
To talk to you about something.
I'm here right now because
- there's a North Korean general - in London.
Man, you seemed so normal a minute ago.
The general will only talk to you.
This is a joke, right?
He wants to meet you in an hour.
- I figured he might want - to ask you about Stiletto Six.
Who are you?
This isn't a joke, Tara.
Answer my question.
I work for the U.S. State Department.
You mean the CIA.
I have her.
They're still heading south.
- Get me a photo - on that bridge.
Why me?
Maybe he's got a story.
You're a journalist.
If you knew how to find me
- then you know - I'm not a journalist anymore.
I know your history.
Help us out with General Kwon,
and I can help you
get your reputation back.
I just need ten minutes.
Are you in?
Operation's a go, let's move!
It's an amplified mic.
- We'll have ears - but not eyes on you.
Am I going in alone?
- Kwon said he'd walk - if he saw anyone else.
- I'll be with my team - right outside the building.
- And one of - General Kwon's associates
- Will be waiting for you - in the lobby.
- He'll bring you - to the meet.
Good luck.
Clear copy, repeat, clear copy.
General Kwon has exited the ballroom.
- Tara's leaving the second - floor elevator right now
Heading for the men's room on
the east end of the building.
General Kwon?
Thank you for coming.
What's this about?
You can't trust the CIA.
They're waking them up.
Waking who up?
The cicadas.
It's starting again.
What's starting again?
Treadstone.
What's Treadstone?
I've lost audio.
- SAD unit, - prepare to make entry.
Audio down.
- Repeat, - prepare to make entry.
Stand down.
- Stand down, - just let this play out.
What the hell is Treadstone?
I was sending a message.
We don't have much time.
What the fuck, Dan?
Treadstone?
Clear the room.
Please, everybody out.
- In less than a minute, - SAD will reach the building.
- Then tell me - what I'm doing here.
- A rogue group in North Korea - has raised funds
To purchase the Stiletto Six launch codes
from a Russian man named Yuri Leniov.
They're looking to upset
the balance of power.
I need you to acquire the
launch codes before they do.
How am I supposed to do that?
I have a daughter who attends
boarding school in France.
Her name is Jang-Mi.
Bring her to the
Ecuadorian Embassy in Paris.
- The ambassador - is expecting you.
- He will give you - what you need.
I need to think this through.
My enemies already suspect me.
- They have targeted me - and my daughter.
- You have to find her - immediately, Tara.
- Why can't you - do anything about it?
I won't live long enough.
Give her this.
Tell my daughter I love her.
- Why are you trusting me - with this?
Because of your single-minded
pursuit of Stiletto Six.
- You lost your career - as a journalist
- Because you weren't willing - to back down
From your instincts about it.
- You also know what it's like - to lose your family.
Please.
Help me save mine.
What did Kwon mean by cicadas?
Ellen...
- Why the hell - was a North Korean general
Talking about Treadstone on an open wire?
What's Treadstone?
That's classified, Tara.
We shut that down years ago, Dan.
Kwon was part of the program.
Did he mention Stiletto Six?
No.
- I think he was - playing your people.
He's playing with us, Ellen.
Yeah, today he dangles
the possibility of defection,
- then he's - digging up skeletons
Precisely so that we will have
conversations like this one.
If you don't trust me,
don't expect me to trust you.
You're playing me right now.
Thanks for an interesting afternoon.
We did shut down Treadstone... right?
It was bigger than we thought.
So who are these cicadas
he's talking about waking up?
- Come on, - put your backs into it!
- Hold it up. - Right there.
Careful.
That all you got, man?
I had four hours of sleep.
Yeah, it's all I got.
Maybe it's those pills
Samantha has you taking.
How do you know about those?
She asked if I'd check and
make sure you were taking 'em.
My wife asked you to make
sure I'm taking my pills?
- Not my business, - I'm staying out of it.
- Hold the work, everybody, - hold the work!
Listen up, fellas!
- Management wants you - in the mess hall right now.
- Let's go, come on! - Can you get it?
Everybody down to the mess hall!
It's a great day for ExPo Energy.
Congress has passed the bill
that approves our deal
with our Russian partners.
- This should nearly - double our capacity
In the next five years.
But I'm not gonna lie... it's not good news
for everyone here.
- I'm afraid I have some - personnel changes to announce.
Several members of the senior
staff will be staying on
but all level one, two,
and three derrickmen,
motormen, and roughnecks
will be replaced... effective immediately.
Fuck you talking about?
Starting tomorrow morning
a Russian crew will be taking over.
- Now, we will do - everything we can
To facilitate transfers to another rig.
- Unfortunately, at this time - there are no reassignments.
Hey, keepin' your job, huh?
- And I understand - this is difficult...
Keepin' your job?
- Your severance checks will be - issued upon arrival in Seattle.
- Now, I understand - there's anger...
Yo.
- Helicopter's making a run - into town.
Let's go do some drinkin'.
Count me in.
