This is it.

He's making contact.

All right, I'll meet you there.

Where's-Where's Bluemont Park? Saul? Hey.

Late for a meeting off campus.

How many boards can one man sit on? You kissed Carrie Mathison into my debrief this morning.

I'm curious if that was her request or yours.

Hers.

Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't assign her yourself, since she's the only one in the section who's ever been to Iraq.

It's not her resume I have a problem with.

It's her temperament.

What happened? She turned a routine follow-up into a cross-examination.

Kept trying to connect Brody to Abu Nazir.

It's always Nazir with her.

I won't deny she can be a little obsessive on the subject.

Is there something I should know, Saul? Not that I'm aware of.

Because the last time I heard her like this, she bribed her way into an Iraqi prison, caused an international crisis.

I appreciate your concern.

Carrie has learned her lesson.

And we both know how good she is.

What did I tell you when I agreed to give her one more chance? You said only if I agreed to do the babysitting.

I said it would end badly.

For both of you.

You've got a big blind spot where she's concerned.

Trust me.

I did, too.

Now my wife lives in Palm Beach, and I only see my kids twice a year.

Did you fix the audio? Well, we'll know soon enough.

I set up a directional mic near the band shell.

Max, switch to channel three.

Somebody's approaching Brody from 1:00 a female, dark red coat.

I didn't think you'd be able to make it.

I don't understand why you had to go through Mike.

Why didn't you just call me yourself? I did.

Twice.

Are you recording this? But your wife answered.

She didn't give me any messages.

Because I hung up.

She hates me, Brody.

Hates you? Why? Because I got remarried.

Jessica reacted like it was a personal insult.

Like I was publicly giving up hope that you and Tom were still alive.

What the? Who the hell is she? Helen Walker.

It's the wife of the other missing Marine.

Ah, well, then, she's not Brody's contact.

Just keep listening.

The Pentagon said you both were dead.

And now they're refusing to give me any information about what happened to Tom.

What do you want to know? How he died.

He's gone.

Does it really matter how it happened? It does to me.

He was beaten to death.

Were you there? No.

Thank you for telling me.

I'm going home.

Want to be there in time for this barbecue.

Hold on a second.

Max, will you give us a minute? Max, step out of the van.

I didn't think that this was any of my business.

Now I'm thinking that it is.

Clozapine? I'm sorry.

Was I supposed to say something? Just tell me I'm not out here risking federal prison on behalf of a crazy person.
