This isn't right, Luka.
This was our chance to be great.
I don't understand.
These men are traitors.

You will forget this.
No.

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.
Ah
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.
[SIGHS]
But I can relay a message.
Shukran.
♪
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time,
so a decision had to be made.
[MILLER] 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.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
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?
Oh. I thought we were being honest.
Okay. If we're gonna be honest
- Mm-hmm.
- We don't have to like each other.
- No, we do not.
- But a little civility isn't too much to ask.
[CHUCKLES] 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.

[DOOR CLOSES]
Good morning, sir. Everyone is here.
Thank you, Mikhail.
What is it our new Minister of Defence
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.
[ALEXEI] Luka.
Thank you for your words in there.
Your support was, uh, 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.
Oh, 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.
Oh, 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, uh, didn't talk.
If what you say is true,
what does that tell you?
Someone
is playing a very dangerous game.
- [SIREN WAILING]
- [TRAFFIC PASSING]
Welcome to Athens.
Eros Makris. I'm the Chief of Police.
- Elizabeth Wright.
- [GREER] James Greer.
Thank you for accepting
our request for assistance.
[MAKRIS] 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 operator.
- 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.

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

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.

[RADEK] The investigation
is still ongoing,
so I need to put you in lockdown.
Lockdown? For how long?
Until I'm certain that you were

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 Defence 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.

Always good to see you.

I just have to follow
the grift across the Aegean.

We need to talk.
Yeah. Sure. Come in.
[GREER] You know why we're here.
Yeah. Your Boy Scout.
What exactly do you know?
[SCOFFS]
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?
[GREER] 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.
[CHURCH BELL TOLLING]
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.
[DOOR CLOSES]
You were right.
- It was her?
- [TYPING]
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.
- [CHUCKLES]
- 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.
[DRINK POURS]
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.

[GALINA] Czech President
Alena Kovac on the line.
Put her through. Thank you.
- [BEEP]
- 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.
[LINE CLICKS, BEEPS]
[PHONE BEEPS]
This is going to be fun.
The new Defence Minister,
he's a prick, yes?
- Took back the deal.
- Mm.
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.
Ah, 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.
Mm.
You must do what's best
to protect your people, Alena.
Mm?

I don't need your sympathy.
What I need from you
is to give him a break.
He's been in your office,
what, ten 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.
