I'm an historian and a blogger who watched Homeland religiously as it appeared. I have a vivid memory of dialogue between Saul and President Keane that I want to quote exactly in a blog post. I'm sure I saw it, but I have the DVDs of season 7 out of the library and I have searched for it and can't find it.
The conversation, as I remember, took place after Saul had been released from prison and had become National Security Adviser. They are talking about the mass arrests, I believe, and Keane says that she is amazed that this step seems to have increased her popularity in the country. To which Saul replies (and this I am sure is an exact quote): "It showed balls. They like a president with balls."
Can anyone tell me more or less exactly where that occurred? Thanks in advance.
