Oops again, but this mistake turns out to be a profitable one because, while she's waiting at a stoplight in a car that looks suspiciously like it wasn't smashed a mere episode ago, Carrie realizes that Roya's Arabic tirade included a reference to the fact that Nazir wouldn't run. There's more ugliness when Roya asks Carrie, "Have you ever had someone who somehow takes over your life, pulls you in, gets you to do things that aren't really you?" I sure as hell have, and his name is Nick Brody, Carrie practically blurts out, only to have Roya spit back, "Well, I've never been that stupid, you idiot whore!" Then she starts ranting in Arabic. If the real CIA operates anything like this, I'm moving to China, because next thing you know Carrie waltzes into Roya's interrogation room and starts trying to connect with her on an emotional level. We all were." That line brings tears to her eyes - and how could it not? She had carried on without him, raising the family, daring to get involved with Mike, only to discover years later that he'd spent the whole time in a hole.īack at Langley, Estes is doing his usual two-faced thing, telling Carrie not to worry about "the ugliness" with Galvez and then instructing Quinn to box her out of the Roya interrogation. Brody tells her there was nothing either of them could have done, hard as they tried: "I was fucked the moment I left for Iraq.
"I don't want to fight anymore, even for something. But in that driveway scene, I felt acres of emotion as husband and wife laid down their weapons and admitted that life had whipped them into submission. I felt nothing for Nazir, nothing for Carrie, nothing for anyone except Quinn, who actually seemed to feel bad about the fact that he'd just been ordered to kill the love of Carrie's life. It was the exact opposite of the strangely exhausting scene in which Abu Nazir is captured. I really planned to, until that scene in the driveway between Brody and Jessica.
That is why, even though I found much to dislike about this second-to-last episode of Season 2, I am going to resist the urge to rip it to shreds.
