Why did you stop calling, Saul?

Doctor Rosenberg said I reminded you of work. I was having a deleterious affect on your prognosis.

[smiles] That sounds like him.

Ever think we'd be doing this again?

I hoped. I know, I know. Don't get used to it.

[to Carrie] Hey, your source came through. I won't have you call this anything but a victory.

Was there really a union meeting in your district today?

BBrody

Yes.

Where? What town? Don't answer that. I don't want to hear another lie.

BBrody

I'm not lying.

They just roll off your tongue, don't they? One after the other. I really thought we turned a corner this morning. You're hiding something. I can see it in your eyes. Now either you tell me what's going on --

BBrody

There's nothing going on --

Or I suggest you start looking for a hotel room! And while you're at it, you give this marriage some serious thought, because I don't think I can do this anymore.

You're not in Beirut?

Came straight here from the airport. I hear you were turned away from the debrief at Langley today.

I was the one who recovered that intel. He wouldn't even let me present it!

Well, I can only imagine how shitty that must have felt. Still feels.

Before the Beirut trip, I really thought I'd finally found a way to cope with being out of the company.

Before you dig that hole any deeper, I have to show you something. Is this your computer?

Yeah.

[removes a flash drive from his breast pocket] Here. I'll only fuck it up. That's the one piece of intel recovered in Beirut that Estes and his men haven't seen yet. I came straight from the airport because I think you deserve to see it first.

[Carrie inserts the flash drive and presses play]

[pre-recorded video] This is Nicholas Brody and I'm a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. People will say I was broken, I was brainwashed. People will say I was turned into a terrorist.

Oh my God.

Taught to hate my country. My actions this day is against such domestic enemies. The vice-president and members of his national security team, who I know to be liars and war criminals --

[quietly] I was right.

-- who are responsible for atrocities they must be held accountable for.

[whispers] You were right.

This is about justice for eighty-two children whose deaths were never acknowledged and whose murder is a stain on the soul of this nation.

[crying] I was right.

Well, well, well. Carrie Mathison was right about the red-headed menace.

It only took a year for people to believe me.

I believed you. Right from the start.

Thank you, Max.

Of course - no one ever asked me.

Brody spoke to four people on Capitol Hill, and 12 more at the Virginia Businessmen's Reception.

Plus a guy at a newsstand on K Street.

They all go up.

How come I've never heard of this guy?

Who, Quinn?

He was on the floor like me, six years? I never met him.

That's because you were in the Middle East!

I don't know. Look into him, would you?

Oh, sure, I'm not busy.

Virgil, just check him out. - Please.

Sweet hardware!

Yup. CIA has the best shit.

So, who are these guys?

Uhm, the same guys who've already watched Brody for 300 hours. Who are you?

The guy [who's] running things.

[surprised] Is that right?

[resignedly] Yes. It is.

And I don't like surprises.

Err, I'm not crazy 'bout them, either.

[mockingly] Crazy? Interesting word. --- [shaking hands with Carrie] Peter Quinn.

Uh, Carrie.

Mathison.

Yes. I know.

I like your work.

[warily] Uh, Peter Quinn from where?

Same place as you.

Officer?

Analyst.

Estes brought him in.

Ah.

So. Let's talk shop.

[unwilling to take the information for granted] What... How many years?

Six at Langley, four on the Venezuela desk.

The cartels?

Like that. --- Are we done with the meet and greet?

Yes. Moving on?

So, we run a small team on Brody twenty four-seven. My team already hooked into the security cameras in the Rayburn building, tapping his home phone and cell. Anywhere else he goes, we have a man on him.

And what team is that?

You'll never see them.

Saul and I already have a plan.

[patronizing] Hold that thought --- Brody has a meeting this morning at the CIA, and we want to throw him a jolt. So we figured go for his Achilles heel. --- Which is you.

So I'm in the building. I... I run into him?

Let it drop you're back at the CIA. That should trigger his fear that your theory about him is now back in play. And that should send him to his handlers, where you guys... will be there with cameras.

Roger that.

Yeah, OK.

So, you want to tell us your plan now?

Uh, actually, it was the same.

The same plan?

Same plan. So...

[ironically] So... I'm only half a moron.

You were fucking him, huh?

What?

Brody.

Who are you fucking?

An ER nurse. I'm not that into her.

You're pretty mouthy for an analyst.

I'm just saying, if he did to me what he did to you, got me fired and made me think I was crazy when I wasn't, sent me off to get my brain zapped, I'd fucking rip his skin off.

Well... that's the plan.

It reeks, you know.

My confusion?

Your bullshit. We only have a few more minutes alone.

You still have your twisted theories about me, don't you?

Not theories anymore.

Look, I'm sorry I called. I guess I thought we could be friends.

Friends?! Oh, yeah. Do I want to be friends with a demented ex-soldier that hates America? Who decided strapping on a bomb was the answer to what ailed him? Despite his daughter, his son, people who loved him in real life, not in the mind-fuck world of Abu Nazir, who in the end, didn't have the stones to go through with it, but had no problem sending me to the nuthouse. Yeah. No, thanks. I don't think I need a friend like that.

Okay. Not friends.

So what are you going to do now? Are you going to kill me? You going to blame it on rough sex maybe? I mean, how long can you get away with something like that?

I've had a pretty good run so far.

That's true.

I seem to be good at this, if nothing else.

You're special.

I liked you, Carrie.

I loved you.

[Team breaks in and wrestles Brody to the floor, cuffing him]

If only the circumstances had been wildly different. You're a disgrace to your nation, Sergeant Nicholas Brody. You're a traitor and a terrorist, and now it's time you pay for that.

[to Brody] You broke my heart, you know. Was that easy for you? Was that fun? Because of you, I questioned my own sanity, I had myself admitted to a mental institution. I lost my job, too. I lost my place in the world. I lost everything.

[to Brody] It was hearing Dana’s voice that changed your mind, wasn’t it? She asked you to come home and you did. Why? Maybe because… Maybe because you suddenly understood that killing yourself and ruining Dana’s life wouldn’t bring Isa back. Maybe because you knew then how much you loved your own child. Maybe because you were just sick of death. That’s the Brody I’m talking to. That’s the Brody that knows the difference between warfare and terrorism. That’s the Brody I met up in that cabin. That’s the Brody I fell in love with.

RReynolds

[leading Saul to Aileen's cell] This one's a piece of work. A spitter, a hitter, and a shitter.

That doesn't sound like her.

RReynolds

Then you don't know her too well.

Aileen?. It's Saul Berenson. We drove from Mexico to D.C. together. I said I might be back if I needed help.

AAileen

Can we talk about this upstairs?

What's wrong with here?

AAileen

E-Everything.

It's very urgent.

Hi, Brody.

How does my wife know about Tom Walker?

I... I don't know.

I'll tell you how. Mike Faber. How the fuck does he know? You tell me.

Okay, Brody, calm down.

You came to me, accusing me of lying about Gettysburg. Maybe it's you who's the one that's lying, hmm? Puttin' some bullshit on me.

I'm not.

Why should I believe you?

I'll take care of Faber.

How? How? Have you really got this under control? Because it doesn't seem like it. And what the fuck happened in that shop? How did you lose those six agents?

We're investigating that.

Great. So you're hedging, Roya's hedging. This thing is on, I'm at the center of it, and I'm in the fucking dark!
