Amerika Season 1 Episode 2
At great personal risk, Samanov finally convinces the Soviet leadership to accept a compromise plan: no nuclear weapons will be detonated, the United States will be divided into “client states” such as Heartland, and the United States Capitol will be destroyed as a symbolic gesture of the end of America. At the same time, members of the United States Congress are killed in a “terrorist attack” when they refuse to disband their legislative body. After the attack is carried out, Samanov surveys the damage and, sitting in the United States House of Representatives, commits suicide.
