Central Intelligence: Series 3: Episode 4
About this episode
The episode explores the challenges faced by Admiral William 'Red' Raborn as he takes over the CIA during a crisis in 1965.
1965. Richard Helms is the obvious choice to lead the CIA. Experienced, respected and trusted inside the Agency, he appears to be next in line. LBJ has other ideas and instead appoints Admiral William “Red” Raborn — a fellow Texan with almost no intelligence experience. On his first day, a coup erupts in the Dominican Republic, and Raborn is thrown into a crisis he barely understands. As LBJ demands answers and Washington rushes towards military intervention, Eloise Page watches the Agency struggle under a director out of his depth. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn.
