Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: After the arrest of "ABC" and a brief scene with the interview to Betty's family, there's a prolonged close-up of a newspaper with the date "24 April 1933."

Mohammad Mossadegh's public office as PM and his visit in the US mentioned in the article happened in the 50s.
