We felt like we needed to honor that truthfully.
The CIA thinks theyre planninga terrorist attack at the Chicago Board of Trade.
They take Mykola into custody there and bring him to their off-book facility for questioning.
Twelve people are killed in the facility.
Annie shoots and kills Oksansa outside the building; Borz is in the wind.
The Altans didnt act alone.
Someone who knows the CIA playbook orchestrated this.
First thing: Its not Henry, right?
Corman:[Laughs] Hes dead.
Corman:Theyre generally dead.
Corman:Its a little of both.
That story of who did it and how to get them is what the 16 episodes are all about.
Ord:Theres more questions than answers in the early part of the season.
Borz did security work for McQuaids company in Eastern Europe for four months in the past.
Ord:Arthur knows exactly what that building is, he knows its not some industrial fire.
So that was a call to action for Arthur.
All our characters are patriots who want to serve in the way that they can.
Joan was informed that Calder is keeping the big office.
Will that cause any resentment toward Arthur, who affected her chances?
Ord:Therell be shades, but thats not their central [story].
Weve spent four seasons seeing the challenges that one faces working at the same agency as ones spouse.
And it will emerge why.
But that relationship is much more complicated than what you saw.
Theres levels of complexity, danger, problems, and drama.
We meet her in episode 2?
Corman:You meet her very early on in episode 2.
Ord:We meet her early on.
Well first meet her through Arthur and see him coming over to McQuaid.
His interactions with her are going to be interesting, to say the least.
Last question: Where all is the show traveling to this season?
Corman:So far weve been to Colombia, the south of France, Paris.
We plan on going to Istanbul, maybe Rio.
So were gonna be all over the place.
Its gonna be a fun summer escape, as always.
