00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain the ending of The Diplomat,
00:04so let's begin.
00:06Netflix's political thriller, The Diplomat, follows the story of Kate Wyler, whose sudden
00:10reassignment from Afghanistan to London changes the course of her life.
00:15She is known for her sharp wit and excellent judgment in times of crisis, having served
00:19in some of the most politically volatile places in the world.
00:22So, when the time comes to handle the conflict between the UK and Iran, she is sent for the
00:27job.
00:28What is sold to her as an easy job where all she has to do is show up in solidarity, Kate
00:32finds herself getting entangled in a mess that can have devastating consequences.
00:37To solve the problem, she needs to get to its root and find out who triggered this crisis
00:41in the first place.
00:43She makes a shocking discovery but it might have been too late by then.
00:46Here's what happens at the end of The Diplomat and what it means for Kate, just to let you
00:50know this video will contain spoilers.
00:52HMS Courageous, a British warship, is bombed in the middle of the ocean and the circumstances
00:57point suspicion towards Iran.
01:00The UK is in the mood to retaliate and wants America to stand by it.
01:04The American president is happy to comply but people on both sides don't want to unnecessarily
01:08escalate things when there's nothing to prove that Iran had a hand in this attack.
01:13Due to her expertise in mitigating such situations, Kate is sent to London as an American ambassador.
01:19At first, Kate believes she is being sent a part of the show, considering how her country
01:23doesn't want to get involved in tense circumstances.
01:26Soon, however, she discovers that this is much more than a simple job.
01:30She is being judged and evaluated on her ability to work under stressful circumstances and
01:35the political maneuvers she resorts to.
01:38She is being considered as a candidate for the next vice president.
01:41While Kate considers the offer, she is torn between her political ambition and failing
01:45marriage.
01:47Being VP means she won't be able to divorce Hal, a shrewd diplomat who can't help but
01:50meddle in her affairs.
01:52At first, she is more interested in being free of Hal and living freely.
01:57But then, she gets a taste of what it could be like to be in a position of power and make
02:00decisions to change the world.
02:03As she toys with the idea of taking the job, she has to ensure that the leaders of America
02:07and the UK don't make any decisions that could lead to the next great war.
02:11Did Trowbridge plot the attack on HM as courageous?
02:15Tension surfaced between the UK and Iran after an unmotivated attack on the British warship.
02:20Considering the circumstances, Iran looked like the only suspect.
02:23However, many people, including Kate, were convinced that they were being used as a scapegoat
02:28by someone else.
02:30Kate doubts the situation momentarily when a satellite image shows an Iranian boat leaving
02:34the country's coast and then appearing in the waters near the warship.
02:38To anyone looking for proof, this is enough.
02:41But Kate knows there is more to the story.
02:43Hal tries to take the blame off of Iran by initiating the events that lead to his kidnapping
02:47and an Iranian minister reiterating that the government knows nothing about the attack.
02:52When the British Prime Minister, Nicol Trowbridge, shows no inclination to have an open mind
02:56about the situation and seems hell-bent on attacking the Middle Eastern country, Kate
03:00and her team realize that the only way to calm him down is by figuring out the identity
03:04of the real culprit.
03:06When Ambassador Hajar tells them about Roman Lenkov, the blame shifts to Russia, it doesn't
03:10make sense Russia, which is already engaged in another war, would do something as reckless
03:14as to bring more trouble to its shores.
03:17But then, they think it might be a trick to distract the world's attention.
03:21Russia must have wanted to frame Iran and fire the conflict between the UK and Iran,
03:25knowing that the US would get involved too.
03:27The West will be busy dealing with this new problem, and the spotlight won't shine on
03:30Russia's war.
03:32Kate knows that once confronted, Russia will deny any role in the attack, which is what
03:36happens.
03:37But then, something else forces her to give the situation more thought.
03:41Roman Lenkov is the leader of the mercenary group, which has strong ties with the Russian
03:45government.
03:46The Kremlin has repeatedly used the group's services, so one would think that they would
03:50protect Lenkov.
03:51Instead, the Russians hand him over to Kate.
03:54They give her an address in France and the exact time he will be there.
03:58This information would have been impossible to come by otherwise, which is why Kate wonders,
04:02are Russians doing this to clean their hands off the whole thing, or are they innocent
04:05in this case?
04:07Whatever the Russian role in the attack, they now have Lenkov.
04:11Kate believes that getting him arrested will do the trick.
04:14She has to get the French authorities to allow them to execute this operation on their
04:17soil.
04:19She convinces them, but then the French reveal that the plan is not just to arrest Lenkov
04:23and find out who hired him.
04:25The British forces intend to assassinate him.
04:28When Kate asks Denison about this, he is shocked.
04:31This was never discussed with him, and no one let him in on the loop of what the PM
04:34had decided.
04:36This is when Kate puts two and two together.
04:39The only people who'd want Lenkov gone are the ones who want to shut him up.
04:43Trowbridge bypassed Denison and kept the Americans in the dark about the assassination
04:47because he didn't want Lenkov to be captured alive.
04:50Because it was Trowbridge who had hired Lenkov to orchestrate the attack on HMS Courageous.
04:55Why did he do that?
04:56As Roiland tells Kate, UK politics is in a state of upheaval.
05:01There is a wave of discontent in Scotland and Northern Ireland, wanting to separate
05:04from the Union.
05:06Trowbridge's popularity has declined steeply, and he needs something to establish him as
05:10a reliable leader.
05:12No matter their differences, the people of a nation always band together in a state of
05:15crisis, and Trowbridge needed that.
05:18When it didn't happen by itself, he decided to make his own crisis and reap the political
05:22benefits.
05:23If the people saw Iran or Russia as their enemy, they wouldn't pay as much attention
05:27to the follies of their Prime Minister.
05:29It is possible that Roiland advised Trowbridge to do this.
05:33We know that despite their differences in public, she has his ear.
05:37When she tells him to bomb Russia, he doesn't think twice before pushing the agenda.
05:41It makes sense that he actually did it when she told him to explode their own ship so
05:45that he could hold on to his office.
05:47Do Hal and Stuart die.
05:49A desperate Trowbridge didn't care that he would kill his own people, but other party
05:53members did.
05:54He knew Denison would never agree to such tactics, so the PM kept his minister out of
05:58the loop.
06:00No matter how much he tried to hide it, the secret was bound to come out sooner or later.
06:04When the Tory MP Merritt Grove found out about it, he knew he had to tell someone.
06:09He couldn't trust the members of his party because he knew that any of them could be
06:12an accomplice in the crime.
06:14It had to be an outsider.
06:16As an ambassador of the US, Kate was supposed to speak at an event at Chatham House.
06:21Grove was present at the event, and he thought about speaking it to her.
06:25Instead, her husband showed up, and his words impressed Grove.
06:29He arranged a meeting with Hal to tell him everything, mentioning it as a matter of urgency.
06:34When Kate found out about it, she thought Hal was pushing for his own agenda.
06:38He wanted to become Secretary of State, so she asked Stewart to stop the meeting.
06:42Still, Hal didn't want to wave away the MP, so he showed up for the meeting.
06:46By that time, Ronnie was already there.
06:49When Grove saw her, he refused to talk.
06:52He would only speak with Hal, so he left the restaurant where they were supposed to meet
06:55and headed for the car.
06:57Hal was just a few feet away from him when Grove's car exploded.
07:01In Paris, security shows up and reveals the news to Kate and Denison.
07:05We see a concerned look on her face.
07:08Does this mean Hal is dead?
07:10Considering that he was in close vicinity of the blast, Hal must have sustained injuries.
07:15So would have Stewart, who was almost the same distance from Grove.
07:18However, they were both far enough to die of it.
07:21The same, however, doesn't hold for Grove and Ronnie.
07:25They were right next to the car when it blew up, so we can assume they are both dead.
07:29It's clear that Trowbridge had him killed when he found out, most probably from Roiland,
07:33that Grove was talking to Hal.
07:35They rigged the car, hoping to shut up Grove before he could tell anyone about the plot
07:39involving the PM and Roiland.
07:41It would have destroyed their careers, and they would have been sent to prison for the
07:44rest of their lives.
07:46They were so close to wrapping up the problem by killing Lenkoff, so they decided to kill
07:50Grove and shut up anyone who could rat them out.
07:53That's all for now folks.
07:54I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks with a thumbs up and
