Homeland Season 2 Episode 4 "New Car Smell"

Carrie does it again, breaking protocol, as only someone with her state of mind can do. Meeting Brody in his hotel bar was not it. That was what she was supposed to do, as it was all being recorded. But when Brody leaves to go back to his room, Carrie has one of those moments. Convinced that Brody has seen through the set up, and will be immediately out to warn his terrorist friends, she disregards orders to leave ( was that Saul trying to help Brody?) and follows Brody to his room.

I guess Brody thinks she wants to rekindle their earlier liason, but in response to Brady suggesting they be friends, Carrie blurts out everything she has been holding back: "Do I want to be friends with a demented ex-soldier who 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 mindf**k 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? I don't think I need a friend like that."

The acting between Clare Danes and Damian Lewis makes this one of the best bits of television I have seen for sometime. Would Brody have tried to kill Carrie? We will never know as the guys from the CIA burst in and arrest Brody.  A confused and desperate Brody states, "I liked you Carrie," to which she shockingly responds, "I loved you". All the hurt at the way Brody and the CIA have treated her comes to the fore, as an emotionally wrecked Carrie watches him being dragged away. The camera concentrates on her face and then pans backwards in a memorable conclusion. Fantastic.
