The inside story of the CIA from the perspective of Eloise Page (Kim Cattrall), who joined on the Agency’s first day in 1947 and, in a 40-year career, became one of its most powerful women.

In Episode 10, emboldened by success in Iran, CIA boss Allen Dulles turns his attention to Guatemala, where the socialist-leaning reforms of President Arbenz are having a negative impact on US interests.
