1
00:00:00,039 --> 00:00:01,793
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:01,796 --> 00:00:03,669
Did you and Damian break
into a storage unit?
3
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:04,463
Yeah.
4
00:00:04,466 --> 00:00:05,968
I can't run interference for someone
5
00:00:05,971 --> 00:00:07,293
who works for another government.
6
00:00:07,296 --> 00:00:08,201
Wells.
7
00:00:08,204 --> 00:00:09,536
No. I'm gonna walk you out.
8
00:00:09,539 --> 00:00:10,622
I'm touched.
9
00:00:10,624 --> 00:00:13,324
You find it plausible that a contractor
10
00:00:13,326 --> 00:00:14,726
would think that my mother
11
00:00:14,728 --> 00:00:15,994
was the right person to bribe?
12
00:00:15,996 --> 00:00:17,403
We have circumstantial evidence.
13
00:00:17,406 --> 00:00:18,997
That my mother is a criminal?
14
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,468
- Did you accept a bribe?
- Yes.
15
00:00:21,471 --> 00:00:23,134
It's a 30-year-old transgression
16
00:00:23,136 --> 00:00:24,135
that your mom made
17
00:00:24,137 --> 00:00:25,443
in an effort to save her husband.
18
00:00:25,445 --> 00:00:26,805
People will understand that.
19
00:00:26,807 --> 00:00:28,406
It's an FBI subpoena.
20
00:00:28,408 --> 00:00:29,808
It's for your mother.
21
00:00:36,092 --> 00:00:40,060
The scourge of gun
violence afflicts millions.
22
00:00:40,062 --> 00:00:42,463
And nation-states that sit idly by
23
00:00:42,465 --> 00:00:44,665
while their citizens
traffic in this evil
24
00:00:44,667 --> 00:00:46,900
aren't merely complicit.
25
00:00:46,902 --> 00:00:50,531
They're agents... Merchants of death.
26
00:00:58,508 --> 00:01:00,909
Hello?
27
00:01:00,911 --> 00:01:02,277
Is someone there?
28
00:01:13,132 --> 00:01:14,515
Up the wing. Up the wing.
29
00:01:14,518 --> 00:01:15,818
He's onside! He's onside!
30
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:17,125
Watch him. Watch him.
31
00:01:20,391 --> 00:01:21,657
Take the shot!
32
00:01:22,944 --> 00:01:23,910
Over here! Over here!
33
00:01:23,913 --> 00:01:25,412
Check! Check him!
34
00:01:26,649 --> 00:01:27,714
- Oh!
- Oh!
35
00:01:27,716 --> 00:01:29,588
Are you all right, sir?
36
00:01:29,591 --> 00:01:31,857
That's the best you got, Senator?
37
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:33,304
I thought they bred hockey players
38
00:01:33,307 --> 00:01:34,740
up there in Minnesota.
39
00:01:36,577 --> 00:01:38,210
Center!
40
00:01:38,212 --> 00:01:39,211
Right here.
41
00:01:39,213 --> 00:01:40,179
All right, pass it.
42
00:01:42,516 --> 00:01:44,232
My point is that this financial scam
43
00:01:44,235 --> 00:01:45,169
didn't just hit the rich.
44
00:01:45,171 --> 00:01:46,503
It wiped out hundreds of thousands
45
00:01:46,505 --> 00:01:48,138
of state employee pensions.
46
00:01:48,140 --> 00:01:51,242
$8 billion in savings...
Gone, up in smoke.
47
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:53,409
You want me to support
your pension bailout bill.
48
00:01:53,412 --> 00:01:55,583
But my party does not
believe in bailouts.
49
00:01:55,586 --> 00:01:57,508
We believe in individual responsibility.
50
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:59,877
Until it's time to bail out
Wall Street and the banks.
51
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:01,612
Then the Republicans are all for it.
52
00:02:01,614 --> 00:02:05,125
You have a sponsor for the
bill. A Democratic sponsor.
53
00:02:05,128 --> 00:02:06,584
We need bipartisan support
54
00:02:06,586 --> 00:02:08,386
to get it across the finish line.
55
00:02:08,388 --> 00:02:09,787
Come on, Alan. That's why we're here.
56
00:02:09,789 --> 00:02:12,031
Government exists to help
people who can't help themselves.
57
00:02:12,033 --> 00:02:13,533
That is not government, sir.
58
00:02:13,536 --> 00:02:15,168
- That i-is charity.
- Fine.
59
00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:16,370
Then I'll make a stipulation
60
00:02:16,372 --> 00:02:18,180
that the American people are suckers.
61
00:02:18,183 --> 00:02:20,192
Come on, how long have we
been playing hockey together...
62
00:02:20,194 --> 00:02:21,660
Three years?
63
00:02:21,662 --> 00:02:22,961
I've never even asked you
64
00:02:22,963 --> 00:02:24,396
to cross-check someone for me.
65
00:02:24,399 --> 00:02:25,425
I understand.
66
00:02:25,428 --> 00:02:27,531
But, sir, this... This is a big ask.
67
00:02:27,534 --> 00:02:29,037
Then don't do it for me.
68
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,307
Do it for your own conscience.
69
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:32,838
Barton Cushing's swindle
70
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,515
is gonna cost the American
people $31 billion.
71
00:02:35,518 --> 00:02:37,618
We're facing a potential
run on the banks.
72
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:39,554
Markets are teetering on free-fall.
73
00:02:39,556 --> 00:02:41,349
If we don't shore up
consumer confidence,
74
00:02:41,352 --> 00:02:43,693
we might as well just jump
head-first into the abyss.
75
00:02:44,794 --> 00:02:46,527
I'll run it up the flagpole.
76
00:02:46,529 --> 00:02:48,763
Thank you. I appreciate it.
77
00:02:48,765 --> 00:02:50,665
- Yes, sir.
- Good game.
78
00:02:50,667 --> 00:02:51,833
Good game, sir.
79
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:57,408
Sir, a Member of Parliament
80
00:02:57,410 --> 00:02:59,177
was just murdered in Rock Creek Park.
81
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,785
I have the British
Prime Minister for you.
82
00:03:03,116 --> 00:03:04,148
Madam Prime Minister...
83
00:03:04,842 --> 00:03:06,484
Why was a Member of Parliament
84
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:07,985
jogging in Rock Creek Park this morning?
85
00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:09,387
Charlotte Thorn was the British rep
86
00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:10,721
at this week's G-20 conference.
87
00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:12,256
They were touting her as a future P.M.
88
00:03:12,258 --> 00:03:13,624
What do we know about this?
89
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:15,223
Well, right now, not much.
90
00:03:15,226 --> 00:03:17,026
One to the head while she was jogging.
91
00:03:17,029 --> 00:03:18,563
D.C. Metro says there's no witnesses.
92
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,464
- Did she have any enemies?
- Oh, plenty.
93
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:22,221
She was outspoken on everything,
94
00:03:22,224 --> 00:03:24,292
from women's rights
to illegal arms dealing
95
00:03:24,295 --> 00:03:25,594
to corporate responsibility.
96
00:03:25,597 --> 00:03:26,349
You name it.
97
00:03:26,352 --> 00:03:28,599
Well, we're already fielding
calls about safety concerns
98
00:03:28,602 --> 00:03:30,035
from jumpy foreign leaders
that are threatening
99
00:03:30,037 --> 00:03:31,636
to pull out of the G-20 conference.
100
00:03:31,638 --> 00:03:32,685
No. That can't happen.
101
00:03:32,688 --> 00:03:33,921
Not when the Kirkman agenda
102
00:03:33,924 --> 00:03:35,624
is to take a bigger role
on the international stage
103
00:03:35,626 --> 00:03:37,275
with the IMF, the
environment, arms control.
104
00:03:37,277 --> 00:03:38,217
We need this.
105
00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:39,952
- All right, I'll keep you posted.
- Thank you.
106
00:03:39,954 --> 00:03:41,318
Well, 10 Downing's all over this.
107
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:42,754
They want their best guy on it.
108
00:03:48,179 --> 00:03:49,220
I know.
109
00:03:49,223 --> 00:03:50,522
You're speechless.
110
00:03:50,524 --> 00:03:52,290
Just take a moment, you know,
111
00:03:52,292 --> 00:03:53,365
gather your thoughts,
112
00:03:53,368 --> 00:03:55,846
- and when you work out what you're gonna say...
- You again?
113
00:03:55,849 --> 00:03:57,568
Such a wordsmith.
114
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:00,542
So, it turns out you're only personal
non grata on this side of the pond
115
00:04:00,545 --> 00:04:02,470
until they need your expertise.
116
00:04:02,473 --> 00:04:04,206
Chuck over there has been sharing his.
117
00:04:04,209 --> 00:04:06,209
Yeah.
118
00:04:06,212 --> 00:04:08,587
Thorn's upcoming speech to the G-20
119
00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:09,956
was leaked on the Internet.
120
00:04:13,007 --> 00:04:14,407
Wow.
121
00:04:14,409 --> 00:04:16,976
She really is going after
illegal arms dealers.
122
00:04:16,978 --> 00:04:19,045
And their state sponsors.
123
00:04:19,047 --> 00:04:20,446
She was going to name names.
124
00:04:20,448 --> 00:04:21,714
You know, the G-20 summit
125
00:04:21,716 --> 00:04:23,316
used to be about global economics.
126
00:04:23,318 --> 00:04:25,818
Now everybody's talking
about gun violence in America.
127
00:04:25,821 --> 00:04:28,180
Well, in England, we're talking
about our brightest candle
128
00:04:28,183 --> 00:04:29,950
being snuffed out in America.
129
00:04:29,952 --> 00:04:31,318
I just heard from D.C. Metro.
130
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,453
They found a 9mm shell
casing at the scene.
131
00:04:33,455 --> 00:04:35,188
All right, let's start
at the British Embassy.
132
00:04:35,190 --> 00:04:36,690
I got us an appointment there at noon.
133
00:04:36,692 --> 00:04:38,058
I got us in at 10:00.
134
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:39,693
Tally ho, Agent Wells.
135
00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:51,840
President Dietrich, I assure you,
136
00:04:51,843 --> 00:04:52,909
every attendee will have
137
00:04:52,911 --> 00:04:54,611
their own Secret Service detail now,
138
00:04:54,613 --> 00:04:55,912
and we've widened the presence
139
00:04:55,914 --> 00:04:57,814
of the FBI and the
police around the city.
140
00:04:57,816 --> 00:05:00,083
Your delegate has
nothing to worry about.
141
00:05:01,887 --> 00:05:03,620
Yes, sir, of course.
142
00:05:03,622 --> 00:05:04,955
I understand.
143
00:05:04,957 --> 00:05:06,856
Thank you. Goodbye.
144
00:05:08,669 --> 00:05:10,803
I'm sorry about Charlotte Thorn.
145
00:05:10,805 --> 00:05:12,605
I really liked her.
146
00:05:13,474 --> 00:05:15,174
Me, too.
147
00:05:16,577 --> 00:05:19,945
Have you made a decision
about a lawyer for your mother?
148
00:05:19,947 --> 00:05:22,499
What about McKinley and Bradshaw?
149
00:05:22,502 --> 00:05:24,927
- They're a great firm.
- Their white-collar practice
150
00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:27,097
isn't as big as it used to be, but...
151
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,199
Davenport and Williams?
152
00:05:28,201 --> 00:05:30,335
They got a full acquittal
for Senator Downing.
153
00:05:30,337 --> 00:05:32,274
But that place is a
Republican stronghold.
154
00:05:32,277 --> 00:05:35,329
Alex, any one of these
firms will do a great job.
155
00:05:35,332 --> 00:05:37,008
But you know my recommendation.
156
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:39,511
- Kendra Daynes.
- Present company excluded,
157
00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:41,346
she's the best lawyer I know.
158
00:05:41,348 --> 00:05:43,455
With the added benefit
that she's easy to find.
159
00:05:43,458 --> 00:05:45,892
The way she handled
Hannah's investigation...
160
00:05:45,895 --> 00:05:47,928
It just... It rubbed me the wrong way.
161
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:49,230
Wasn't it you who once told me
162
00:05:49,233 --> 00:05:50,986
that that's what a good
lawyer's supposed to do...
163
00:05:50,988 --> 00:05:52,170
Rub you the wrong way?
164
00:05:52,173 --> 00:05:53,893
That's how you know
they're doing their job?
165
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:55,113
Ah.
166
00:05:55,116 --> 00:05:58,298
Sir, victims' rights
advocate Alice Roland is here.
167
00:05:58,301 --> 00:06:00,573
Thank you.
168
00:06:00,576 --> 00:06:02,476
Alex, please.
169
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:03,996
Just call her.
170
00:06:06,601 --> 00:06:07,800
Everybody, please sit.
171
00:06:07,802 --> 00:06:08,801
Mr. President.
172
00:06:08,803 --> 00:06:10,282
Alice, it's nice to see you again.
173
00:06:10,285 --> 00:06:12,946
We appreciate your
meeting with us again, sir.
174
00:06:12,949 --> 00:06:14,774
But the people that I represent...
175
00:06:14,777 --> 00:06:15,826
I know.
176
00:06:15,828 --> 00:06:17,228
They want action, not just words.
177
00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:18,729
What they want is their money back.
178
00:06:18,731 --> 00:06:20,130
And as long as I'm their advocate,
179
00:06:20,132 --> 00:06:21,765
I don't intend to rest until I get it.
180
00:06:21,767 --> 00:06:22,766
And I share your desire,
181
00:06:22,768 --> 00:06:24,134
which is why I've met with all of you
182
00:06:24,136 --> 00:06:25,603
three times over the last four months.
183
00:06:25,605 --> 00:06:27,396
Three times, because we're
not making any progress.
184
00:06:27,398 --> 00:06:28,706
It might not seem like it to you,
185
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:30,457
but I promise you, we
are making progress.
186
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:31,826
Not fast enough, sir.
187
00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:33,496
The fat cats that got
screwed by Barton Cushing
188
00:06:33,498 --> 00:06:34,782
will survive.
189
00:06:34,785 --> 00:06:35,851
But the beneficiaries of
190
00:06:35,854 --> 00:06:37,907
the compromised state pension funds...
191
00:06:37,910 --> 00:06:40,077
They need this money to live.
192
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,087
They're teachers,
firefighters, secretaries...
193
00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:43,329
The backbone of America.
194
00:06:43,332 --> 00:06:45,066
And I am trying to get
relief for all of them.
195
00:06:45,068 --> 00:06:46,516
Trying is not the same as getting.
196
00:06:48,198 --> 00:06:50,938
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
197
00:06:50,941 --> 00:06:53,342
These people don't want
to work until they're 75.
198
00:06:53,345 --> 00:06:55,311
They want to be able to take a vacation,
199
00:06:55,313 --> 00:06:56,646
pay for their healthcare,
200
00:06:56,648 --> 00:06:57,947
enjoy their golden years.
201
00:06:57,949 --> 00:07:00,650
I know you're frustrated. I am, too.
202
00:07:00,652 --> 00:07:02,719
But I need you to trust me.
203
00:07:02,721 --> 00:07:05,955
And we are closer than you think.
204
00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:10,578
So Halloween's just around the corner.
205
00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:11,713
You know what I don't like?
206
00:07:11,715 --> 00:07:13,274
- Candy?
- Tricks.
207
00:07:13,277 --> 00:07:14,383
I do like treats, though.
208
00:07:14,386 --> 00:07:15,917
And a great treat would be confirmation
209
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:17,619
of the President's slate
of judicial nominees.
210
00:07:17,621 --> 00:07:19,220
I laid the groundwork for your meeting
211
00:07:19,222 --> 00:07:21,189
with Senator Krantz from
the Judiciary Committee.
212
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:23,324
- She promised a rubber stamp.
- Good.
213
00:07:23,326 --> 00:07:24,893
Hey, Halloween's coming up.
214
00:07:24,895 --> 00:07:26,770
Did she give you the
whole trick or treat spiel?
215
00:07:26,772 --> 00:07:28,605
Yes. She doesn't like tricks.
216
00:07:28,607 --> 00:07:30,007
No, she doesn't like candy.
217
00:07:30,009 --> 00:07:32,771
- I like candy fine.
- No. Only Necco Wafers. The pink ones.
218
00:07:32,774 --> 00:07:33,979
Okay, Willy Wonka,
219
00:07:33,982 --> 00:07:35,416
- are you ready for your auto exec meeting?
- Yep.
220
00:07:35,418 --> 00:07:37,384
Ready to hawk the President's
Clean Air Initiative.
221
00:07:37,386 --> 00:07:38,462
- Only one problem.
- What?
222
00:07:38,465 --> 00:07:40,268
- I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
- You're a senior staffer
223
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:42,243
pitching in on the policy side
because we're short-handed.
224
00:07:42,245 --> 00:07:43,311
Suck it up.
225
00:07:43,314 --> 00:07:44,914
More like I'm gonna blow.
226
00:07:44,917 --> 00:07:45,950
Lyor, did you know that...
227
00:07:45,952 --> 00:07:47,276
If you do the Halloween thing again,
228
00:07:47,278 --> 00:07:48,486
I'll murder you with an axe.
229
00:07:48,489 --> 00:07:50,260
Bet I know what he's dressing as.
230
00:07:50,262 --> 00:07:51,628
Dead man walking, actually,
231
00:07:51,631 --> 00:07:53,198
which is what we're all
gonna be in five minutes.
232
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,500
Why?
233
00:07:54,503 --> 00:07:55,869
Carson Kramer.
234
00:07:55,872 --> 00:07:57,189
We need to find the President.
235
00:07:58,165 --> 00:08:00,470
Senator Rouse, I just want
to thank you for joining us.
236
00:08:00,473 --> 00:08:01,540
Of course.
237
00:08:01,543 --> 00:08:03,783
Senator, you've been highly critical
238
00:08:03,786 --> 00:08:06,720
of what you term "government handouts."
239
00:08:06,723 --> 00:08:08,925
So, what about the pension bailout bill?
240
00:08:08,928 --> 00:08:10,561
Another handout.
241
00:08:10,564 --> 00:08:12,453
But the President's a big proponent.
242
00:08:12,455 --> 00:08:13,316
Yes.
243
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,168
And, um, to be frank,
I'm not quite sure why.
244
00:08:16,171 --> 00:08:18,038
I met with him to discuss it,
245
00:08:18,041 --> 00:08:22,824
and he called the American people...
246
00:08:22,827 --> 00:08:23,988
suckers.
247
00:08:23,991 --> 00:08:26,358
Excuse me, Senator. He said what?
248
00:08:26,361 --> 00:08:27,727
His exact words were,
249
00:08:27,730 --> 00:08:29,029
"I'll make a stipulation
250
00:08:29,032 --> 00:08:31,496
that the American people are suckers."
251
00:08:31,499 --> 00:08:33,766
Wow. It looks like
the President's the one
252
00:08:33,769 --> 00:08:35,303
- who may need a bailout.
- Yes, Carson.
253
00:08:35,305 --> 00:08:37,138
I was pretty shocked
when I heard that myself.
254
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:41,191
That disloyal, treacherous, lying...
255
00:08:41,194 --> 00:08:42,327
He wasn't lying.
256
00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:43,832
Sir?
257
00:08:43,835 --> 00:08:46,552
He betrayed my confidence.
He took me out of context.
258
00:08:46,555 --> 00:08:48,145
- But he wasn't lying.
- It doesn't matter.
259
00:08:48,147 --> 00:08:50,285
Sir, you have a very distinct brand.
260
00:08:50,288 --> 00:08:52,511
You're Honest Tom. Man of the people.
261
00:08:52,514 --> 00:08:53,580
If that's compromised...
262
00:08:53,583 --> 00:08:54,849
Lyor's right, Mr. President.
263
00:08:54,852 --> 00:08:56,572
This goes to your core
identity. We can't spin this.
264
00:08:56,574 --> 00:08:58,207
Exactly, 'cause it's a middle finger
265
00:08:58,210 --> 00:08:59,743
aimed squarely at your base.
266
00:08:59,746 --> 00:09:02,013
And I don't like to traffic
in overstatement, sir.
267
00:09:02,016 --> 00:09:04,550
If this sticks, it's
political Armageddon.
268
00:09:04,553 --> 00:09:07,187
Mr. President, you have calls
269
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:09,433
from the Senate Minority
and Majority Leaders,
270
00:09:09,436 --> 00:09:11,302
the House Speaker, and
the House Minority Leader.
271
00:09:11,304 --> 00:09:13,471
The Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.
272
00:09:13,473 --> 00:09:16,274
Put them through.
273
00:09:16,276 --> 00:09:17,875
One at a time, please.
274
00:09:24,953 --> 00:09:31,863
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --
275
00:09:33,518 --> 00:09:36,275
We are working with
the British government
276
00:09:36,278 --> 00:09:37,944
to investigate M.P. Thorn's murder.
277
00:09:37,947 --> 00:09:40,480
And we'll have another update for
you as soon as one is warranted.
278
00:09:40,482 --> 00:09:41,615
- Yes.
- What about Senator Rouse?
279
00:09:41,617 --> 00:09:42,950
I have no comment about Senator Rouse.
280
00:09:42,952 --> 00:09:44,122
So you're not denying
the President said...
281
00:09:44,124 --> 00:09:45,866
Once again... Folks, the conversation
282
00:09:45,869 --> 00:09:47,136
that the President
had with Senator Rouse
283
00:09:47,138 --> 00:09:47,970
was a private one.
284
00:09:47,973 --> 00:09:49,072
You know I don't comment on
285
00:09:49,075 --> 00:09:50,123
the President's private conversations.
286
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:52,325
Meaning you're not issuing a denial.
287
00:09:52,328 --> 00:09:53,996
How did you just misconstrue
everything I just said?
288
00:09:53,998 --> 00:09:55,164
How did I misconstrue it?
289
00:09:55,167 --> 00:09:56,630
You understand misconstruction, Natalie.
290
00:09:56,632 --> 00:09:58,213
- I've read your pieces.
- Come on, Seth.
291
00:09:58,215 --> 00:09:59,450
You got to give us something.
292
00:09:59,453 --> 00:10:02,268
And if you're not commenting
on private conversations,
293
00:10:02,271 --> 00:10:04,496
can you speak as to the
follow-up from Suckergate?
294
00:10:04,499 --> 00:10:05,739
Don't call it a gate, Carla.
295
00:10:05,741 --> 00:10:06,575
It's not a gate.
296
00:10:06,578 --> 00:10:08,008
Look, the President's
record speaks for itself
297
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:09,572
in terms of the esteem that he holds
298
00:10:09,575 --> 00:10:10,577
for the American people.
299
00:10:10,579 --> 00:10:11,979
Are you saying that
Senator Rouse is lying?
300
00:10:11,981 --> 00:10:13,513
You can assure your constituents
301
00:10:13,515 --> 00:10:14,548
that word does not reflect
302
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:15,983
how I feel about them, Mr. Speaker.
303
00:10:15,985 --> 00:10:18,452
Of course. Thank you. Goodbye.
304
00:10:19,874 --> 00:10:21,607
They're calling it Suckergate, sir.
305
00:10:22,825 --> 00:10:24,524
Suckergate. There are no good gates.
306
00:10:24,526 --> 00:10:26,159
Not Watergate, not Irangate, not...
307
00:10:26,161 --> 00:10:28,595
I think we should just
go about our business.
308
00:10:28,597 --> 00:10:31,298
All due respect, sir, we can't.
309
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:32,881
This will have a knock-on effect.
310
00:10:32,884 --> 00:10:34,319
You need to issue a strong denial.
311
00:10:34,321 --> 00:10:36,603
- I can't.
- Yes, sir. You can.
312
00:10:36,605 --> 00:10:38,960
If the President says he didn't
say something, it was never said.
313
00:10:38,962 --> 00:10:41,505
I'm not gonna start fighting
distortions with falsehoods.
314
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:43,842
Besides, you said I had a good
reputation because I was honest.
315
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:45,210
Now you want me to start lying?
316
00:10:45,212 --> 00:10:47,477
Yes, to preserve that reputation.
317
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,015
- You heard what you just said, right?
- Sir, I see Lyor's point.
318
00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:52,150
- Our options here are very limited.
- Well, I've got one.
319
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,451
I'll sit down with Senator Rouse.
320
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:55,487
He's a good and honorable
man. I consider him a friend.
321
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,755
We'll sort this thing out.
322
00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:58,156
- I'll set it up.
- Thank you.
323
00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:04,716
If you'd have told
me he was this honest,
324
00:11:04,718 --> 00:11:06,231
I never would have taken this job.
325
00:11:06,233 --> 00:11:07,599
You realize that's bananas, right?
326
00:11:07,601 --> 00:11:08,599
I don't like scruples.
327
00:11:08,602 --> 00:11:09,935
They're impractical.
328
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:11,236
His scruples are the reason why
329
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:12,270
everyone in this building
330
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:13,772
would have run through a wall for him.
331
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,106
Tell me that when our agenda's dead
332
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:16,441
because America thinks the President
333
00:11:16,443 --> 00:11:17,943
is an elitist hypocrite.
334
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:20,912
Aaron says he'll have an update
335
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:22,579
on the Thorn investigation shortly.
336
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,883
And, per your request, I moved up
your meeting on judicial appointments
337
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:26,751
- with Senator Krantz.
- Good. We need a win.
338
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:29,120
- And I want to talk to you about the lobby.
- Okay.
339
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:31,423
There are candies there. Hard candies.
340
00:11:31,425 --> 00:11:32,924
Some might call them "suckers."
341
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:34,926
And, so, I wondered if
I should remove them.
342
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:35,994
You're kidding, right?
343
00:11:35,996 --> 00:11:37,863
Right.
344
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:39,431
Remove them immediately.
345
00:11:42,436 --> 00:11:44,903
I asked Ms. Thorn not to go
out without a security detail.
346
00:11:44,905 --> 00:11:46,271
But she wouldn't listen to me.
347
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:47,272
Have there been threats?
348
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:48,473
All the time.
349
00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:49,608
As Embassy Security head,
350
00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:52,110
I can't protect those who won't listen.
351
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,645
We read Ms. Thorn's speech.
352
00:11:53,647 --> 00:11:56,147
It seems she was going
after arms dealers this time.
353
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:57,849
Yes, I wanted her to tone it down.
354
00:11:57,851 --> 00:11:59,384
But she turned it up.
355
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:01,274
Ms. Lane, you were
her aide for six years.
356
00:12:01,277 --> 00:12:04,054
Is there anyone in particular
she crossed swords with?
357
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:05,490
Darius Cray.
358
00:12:05,492 --> 00:12:07,025
A British importer-exporter.
359
00:12:07,027 --> 00:12:09,009
Well, that's a cover for arms dealing.
360
00:12:09,012 --> 00:12:11,071
He supplies half the African conflicts.
361
00:12:11,074 --> 00:12:12,730
He's on most of Europe's no-fly lists.
362
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:13,999
But he's running amok in America.
363
00:12:14,001 --> 00:12:15,667
I didn't see his name in the speech.
364
00:12:15,669 --> 00:12:17,702
That's because he
called me a few days ago.
365
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:20,005
Warned me that Charlotte
had better not identify him.
366
00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:22,274
His was the one name I
convinced her to pull out.
367
00:12:22,276 --> 00:12:24,552
I'm betting he thought she
was going to put it back in.
368
00:12:24,555 --> 00:12:26,278
He sounds like a good place to start.
369
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,248
Where is he?
370
00:12:27,251 --> 00:12:29,014
In town, thankfully
enough. At the Gallagher.
371
00:12:29,017 --> 00:12:30,256
But we've already reached out.
372
00:12:30,259 --> 00:12:31,498
He's not answering questions.
373
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:32,601
Well, people like that,
374
00:12:32,604 --> 00:12:34,351
you just need to know how to ask.
375
00:12:39,057 --> 00:12:40,522
Excuse me. I didn't order this.
376
00:12:40,525 --> 00:12:42,892
Actually, we're here to
talk about what you ordered.
377
00:12:42,894 --> 00:12:44,194
We need to ask you a few questions
378
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:46,429
about Charlotte Thorn, Mr. Cray.
379
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,121
I am eating lunch with my husband.
380
00:12:48,123 --> 00:12:49,999
Catherine, I'll see
you back in the room.
381
00:12:55,415 --> 00:12:57,217
I never met Charlotte Thorn.
382
00:12:57,220 --> 00:12:58,983
Acquainted only by reputation then?
383
00:12:59,022 --> 00:13:01,678
Because she sure had one
for getting under your skin.
384
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,380
Yes, slander was a speciality of hers.
385
00:13:04,382 --> 00:13:05,982
I didn't appreciate it.
386
00:13:05,984 --> 00:13:08,551
- What are you doing in town, sir?
- G-20 conference.
387
00:13:08,553 --> 00:13:10,186
A good place to ply my trade.
388
00:13:10,188 --> 00:13:11,620
Legal trade.
389
00:13:11,623 --> 00:13:12,889
Not according to Ms. Thorn.
390
00:13:12,891 --> 00:13:14,075
Ergo the slander.
391
00:13:14,078 --> 00:13:15,175
Did you threaten her?
392
00:13:15,178 --> 00:13:17,026
Only with lawsuits.
393
00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:20,930
I have a $100-million
legitimate munitions business.
394
00:13:20,932 --> 00:13:22,398
I pay taxes.
395
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,093
I abide by all the applicable laws.
396
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:26,161
Yet some people
397
00:13:26,164 --> 00:13:28,231
insist on turning me into this bogeyman.
398
00:13:28,234 --> 00:13:29,600
Well, here's the thing.
399
00:13:29,602 --> 00:13:31,369
We're not D.C. Metro
and we're not State.
400
00:13:31,371 --> 00:13:33,638
And you can't brush us off
with some canned statement.
401
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,740
Tell us where you were
at 6:00 this morning,
402
00:13:35,742 --> 00:13:36,931
we'll leave you alone.
403
00:13:36,934 --> 00:13:38,444
No, you'll leave me alone now.
404
00:13:39,479 --> 00:13:42,813
I have the best lawyers
in the city on a retainer.
405
00:13:42,815 --> 00:13:44,415
Ambush me again,
406
00:13:44,417 --> 00:13:46,417
and I'll sue you for harassment.
407
00:13:49,322 --> 00:13:51,288
Think we flushed him out?
408
00:13:51,291 --> 00:13:53,956
Well, I guess we'll
find out soon enough.
409
00:13:57,423 --> 00:13:58,755
14 long-standing vacancies
410
00:13:58,757 --> 00:14:00,123
on the federal appellate bench...
411
00:14:00,125 --> 00:14:01,758
It's a national embarrassment.
412
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,494
Addressing that is an
administration priority.
413
00:14:04,496 --> 00:14:06,363
Our slate of candidates is moderate,
414
00:14:06,365 --> 00:14:07,331
specifically chosen
415
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:08,999
to achieve broad bipartisan support.
416
00:14:09,001 --> 00:14:10,701
We're reaching across party lines.
417
00:14:10,703 --> 00:14:13,034
We wish we could reach
back. Why can't you?
418
00:14:13,037 --> 00:14:16,106
When we had preliminary
discussions about judges,
419
00:14:16,108 --> 00:14:18,172
the President was in a
very different position.
420
00:14:18,175 --> 00:14:20,534
His centrist politics
were gathering steam.
421
00:14:20,537 --> 00:14:22,012
We thought he was a man
who should be listened to.
422
00:14:22,014 --> 00:14:23,780
Well, he is. He's the President.
423
00:14:23,782 --> 00:14:25,115
Of a country of suckers.
424
00:14:25,117 --> 00:14:26,298
Really, Senator Krantz...
425
00:14:26,301 --> 00:14:28,747
I know how that remark
played out in my state.
426
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:31,051
Not as bad as my following
his lead now will play.
427
00:14:31,053 --> 00:14:33,638
Senator, put politics
aside for a second.
428
00:14:33,641 --> 00:14:34,821
You're an attorney.
429
00:14:34,823 --> 00:14:37,582
You know every name on our
list is eminently qualified.
430
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:39,485
Yes. But so are these.
431
00:14:44,764 --> 00:14:45,763
None of these people
432
00:14:45,765 --> 00:14:47,381
have President Kirkman's endorsement.
433
00:14:47,384 --> 00:14:50,134
Exactly. So none of them are toxic.
434
00:14:50,136 --> 00:14:51,669
Let me know what you think.
435
00:14:57,777 --> 00:14:59,644
I think I hate lawyers.
436
00:14:59,646 --> 00:15:01,209
I think my mother's subpoena
437
00:15:01,212 --> 00:15:03,509
is prosecutorial bad face.
438
00:15:03,512 --> 00:15:05,045
How do you figure, ma'am?
439
00:15:05,048 --> 00:15:08,015
There's no evidence of any
contemporary wrongdoing.
440
00:15:08,017 --> 00:15:10,985
A-And this attempt to tie
her into some conspiracy
441
00:15:10,987 --> 00:15:13,685
involving bribery in
Eric Little's recent d...
442
00:15:13,688 --> 00:15:15,315
- I mean, it's ridiculous.
- Agreed.
443
00:15:15,318 --> 00:15:16,951
But you need to keep emotion out of it.
444
00:15:16,954 --> 00:15:18,222
We're talking about my mother...
445
00:15:18,224 --> 00:15:19,057
I understand.
446
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:21,255
But John Foerstel is
a former U.S. Attorney.
447
00:15:21,258 --> 00:15:22,725
He will use your emotion against you.
448
00:15:22,727 --> 00:15:24,993
As proof that we're
trying to hide something.
449
00:15:24,995 --> 00:15:26,261
Yes.
450
00:15:27,698 --> 00:15:29,598
Which is why I'd like to be clinical.
451
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,734
Sticking to the four
corners of the document
452
00:15:31,736 --> 00:15:33,669
is our best hope of
quashing the subpoena.
453
00:15:33,671 --> 00:15:36,453
I need to know my family is protected.
454
00:15:36,456 --> 00:15:38,723
And I just haven't seen
enough evidence from you
455
00:15:38,726 --> 00:15:40,359
that you really understand that.
456
00:15:40,362 --> 00:15:42,105
I do, ma'am.
457
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:44,308
And I've represented 11 senators
458
00:15:44,311 --> 00:15:46,362
who have been targets of
a criminal investigation.
459
00:15:46,365 --> 00:15:48,166
Not a single one was indicted.
460
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:51,316
I'm experienced.
461
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:52,384
And I'm good.
462
00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:58,090
What do you need from me?
463
00:15:58,092 --> 00:15:59,565
Just your trust.
464
00:16:00,979 --> 00:16:02,894
Let me do what I do.
465
00:16:02,896 --> 00:16:05,263
And I'll keep you posted.
466
00:16:08,729 --> 00:16:10,354
- Alan.
- Mr. President.
467
00:16:10,357 --> 00:16:12,097
I was just explaining to Lyor and Emily
468
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,600
how we are friends.
469
00:16:14,202 --> 00:16:15,604
And I have to be honest.
470
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:17,768
When among friends,
there is an expectation
471
00:16:17,771 --> 00:16:19,859
that what one says remains private.
472
00:16:19,862 --> 00:16:22,574
- I'm sorry if I violated that expectation.
- Well, you did.
473
00:16:22,577 --> 00:16:24,210
And I need you to set
the record straight.
474
00:16:24,212 --> 00:16:26,577
Well, I'm sorry, sir.
475
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:27,680
I didn't lie.
476
00:16:27,682 --> 00:16:29,315
So I can't issue a retraction.
477
00:16:29,317 --> 00:16:30,416
I'm not asking you to.
478
00:16:30,418 --> 00:16:31,684
I just want you to provide
479
00:16:31,686 --> 00:16:33,419
the full context of our discussion.
480
00:16:33,421 --> 00:16:35,355
Which was me asking
you to sign on to a bill
481
00:16:35,357 --> 00:16:37,441
that I thought would be
helpful to the average American.
482
00:16:37,443 --> 00:16:38,742
An overture you portrayed
483
00:16:38,745 --> 00:16:41,279
as the President's contempt
for average Americans.
484
00:16:41,282 --> 00:16:42,595
Alan, I know you don't believe that,
485
00:16:42,597 --> 00:16:44,361
but I can't have the American people
486
00:16:44,364 --> 00:16:45,429
believing that, either.
487
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:50,533
I'm sorry, sir, I-I can't help you.
488
00:16:50,535 --> 00:16:53,669
You may wish to reconsider
that position, Senator.
489
00:16:53,671 --> 00:16:55,538
No, Ms. Rhodes, I don't think so.
490
00:16:56,794 --> 00:16:58,474
You say you're not a politician,
491
00:16:58,476 --> 00:16:59,980
then you coerce me into backing a bill
492
00:16:59,982 --> 00:17:02,370
- you know is anathema to my party.
- Asking you for your support is hardly coercion!
493
00:17:02,372 --> 00:17:05,108
It is if the person asking
is the President, sir.
494
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:06,377
But more to the point,
495
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:08,560
I have an obligation I
owe to my constituents.
496
00:17:08,563 --> 00:17:10,310
Which should include an obligation
497
00:17:10,313 --> 00:17:12,246
not to misrepresent
the President's words.
498
00:17:12,249 --> 00:17:14,283
I stood up to those words.
499
00:17:14,286 --> 00:17:16,688
My office received
over 1,500 calls today
500
00:17:16,691 --> 00:17:17,823
thanking me for that.
501
00:17:17,825 --> 00:17:18,966
I cannot defend you, sir.
502
00:17:18,969 --> 00:17:20,670
Senator, I'm not asking
you for your defense.
503
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:22,071
I'm asking you for your honesty.
504
00:17:22,074 --> 00:17:24,442
You're out there portraying
me as an enemy of the people.
505
00:17:24,445 --> 00:17:25,646
That stops now!
506
00:17:25,649 --> 00:17:27,182
With respect, sir,
507
00:17:27,185 --> 00:17:29,619
if you don't want to
be the people's enemy,
508
00:17:29,622 --> 00:17:31,221
you need to start talking about them
509
00:17:31,224 --> 00:17:32,624
as if they were your friends.
510
00:17:34,590 --> 00:17:36,090
I'll see myself out.
511
00:17:43,735 --> 00:17:45,090
Well, who would have thought it?
512
00:17:45,093 --> 00:17:48,116
Homespun Tom Kirkman... An elitist snob.
513
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,002
Well, he didn't just
put his foot in his mouth
514
00:17:50,004 --> 00:17:51,904
- on this one.
- He put his whole leg.
515
00:17:51,906 --> 00:17:54,053
Who's the sucker now, Mr. President?
516
00:17:54,056 --> 00:17:56,675
And we're already seeing
the fallout from...
517
00:17:56,677 --> 00:17:58,358
Yeah.
518
00:17:58,361 --> 00:17:59,912
So, in the last eight hours,
519
00:17:59,914 --> 00:18:01,280
we've lost Congressional support
520
00:18:01,282 --> 00:18:02,548
for our judicial slate.
521
00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:04,484
Your pension-bailout
bill... That's gone belly up.
522
00:18:04,486 --> 00:18:06,385
And the only topic of
conversation at the G-20 conference
523
00:18:06,387 --> 00:18:08,175
is the murder rate in America.
524
00:18:08,178 --> 00:18:09,491
What's the press coverage?
525
00:18:09,494 --> 00:18:10,719
Uh, the Post and the Journal
526
00:18:10,721 --> 00:18:11,987
have hit out at you over Suckergate.
527
00:18:11,989 --> 00:18:13,288
The Times is running an op-ed
528
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:14,990
on the Administration's
failure to rein in arms dealers.
529
00:18:14,992 --> 00:18:16,725
We're looking at a perfect storm, sir.
530
00:18:16,727 --> 00:18:18,527
So, we have to take emergency action.
531
00:18:18,529 --> 00:18:20,808
Finding Thorn's killer...
That's part of the solution.
532
00:18:20,811 --> 00:18:23,859
The other part is
cauterizing Suckergate.
533
00:18:23,862 --> 00:18:25,528
Look, I understand we've
taken a hit for this thing...
534
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:27,063
No, no, sir. It's much more than that.
535
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:28,765
This thing, it's made you radioactive.
536
00:18:28,767 --> 00:18:30,899
- And the fallout's just gonna get worse.
- Fine.
537
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:32,215
What do you suggest?
538
00:18:32,218 --> 00:18:34,066
Oppo research on Senator Rouse.
539
00:18:36,638 --> 00:18:38,558
It's a silver bullet.
540
00:18:38,561 --> 00:18:39,694
It'll stop the bleeding.
541
00:18:39,697 --> 00:18:41,215
Lyor, bullets don't stop bleeding.
542
00:18:41,218 --> 00:18:42,250
They start it.
543
00:18:42,832 --> 00:18:44,598
We need to stabilize your base, sir.
544
00:18:44,601 --> 00:18:46,745
If I go down this road,
there's no turning back.
545
00:18:46,748 --> 00:18:48,248
- We will find another way.
- Mr. President...
546
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:50,516
We will find another way.
547
00:18:53,421 --> 00:18:54,829
Thank you, sir.
548
00:19:00,161 --> 00:19:01,995
Seth? I need a minute.
549
00:19:01,997 --> 00:19:04,564
I have nothing else to say
about Suckergate, Tiffany.
550
00:19:04,566 --> 00:19:06,799
Good. Because I wanted
to ask about a subpoena.
551
00:19:06,801 --> 00:19:08,066
What subpoena?
552
00:19:08,069 --> 00:19:10,263
One a source tells me was
issued to the White House
553
00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:11,699
in connection with an investigation
554
00:19:11,702 --> 00:19:13,068
into Icarus Astrotech.
555
00:19:13,071 --> 00:19:14,971
- To whom at the White House?
- You tell me.
556
00:19:14,973 --> 00:19:16,472
You're fishing.
557
00:19:16,474 --> 00:19:18,007
- I'm going to publish.
- Publish what?
558
00:19:18,009 --> 00:19:19,208
A story about a subpoena
559
00:19:19,210 --> 00:19:20,509
issued to an unspecified person
560
00:19:20,511 --> 00:19:21,477
in this building?
561
00:19:21,479 --> 00:19:22,712
So you're denying it then?
562
00:19:22,714 --> 00:19:24,313
That someone in the White
House has been subpoenaed?
563
00:19:24,315 --> 00:19:25,860
- Categorically.
- Seth, come on...
564
00:19:25,863 --> 00:19:27,016
Go fish.
565
00:19:30,421 --> 00:19:32,665
Darius Cray's boat is moored
at the Port of Baltimore.
566
00:19:32,667 --> 00:19:33,766
Three days ago,
567
00:19:33,769 --> 00:19:36,158
he extended his slip
rental for two weeks.
568
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,587
And this afternoon, right
after we spoke to him,
569
00:19:38,590 --> 00:19:40,223
he filed paperwork with the harbormaster
570
00:19:40,226 --> 00:19:41,492
to leave tonight.
571
00:19:41,494 --> 00:19:42,926
How strong a suspect is he?
572
00:19:42,928 --> 00:19:45,028
A flight risk. No
alibi. Plenty of motive.
573
00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:47,564
Plus we have video of his car
outside Charlotte Thorn's hotel
574
00:19:47,566 --> 00:19:49,166
two nights before she was killed.
575
00:19:49,168 --> 00:19:51,267
Which means he could have been
spoiling for a confrontation.
576
00:19:51,269 --> 00:19:53,103
Is it enough circumstantial
evidence for a warrant?
577
00:19:53,105 --> 00:19:54,438
If you know the right judge.
578
00:19:54,441 --> 00:19:55,806
Give me an hour.
579
00:19:55,808 --> 00:19:57,741
We've lost a lot of support with this
580
00:19:57,743 --> 00:20:00,177
- "Americans are suckers" comment.
- Okay, hold on.
581
00:20:00,179 --> 00:20:01,824
The word "suckers" has nothing to do
582
00:20:01,827 --> 00:20:03,227
with the President's
Clean Air Initiative.
583
00:20:03,229 --> 00:20:04,394
Sure it does.
584
00:20:04,397 --> 00:20:05,631
The President's plan requires us
585
00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:06,732
to up emissions standards.
586
00:20:06,735 --> 00:20:08,479
That's gonna cost us
hundreds of millions.
587
00:20:08,482 --> 00:20:09,814
And we want something in return.
588
00:20:09,816 --> 00:20:11,516
But, if the Administration's
been crippled,
589
00:20:11,518 --> 00:20:12,550
what can you do for us?
590
00:20:12,552 --> 00:20:13,618
The federal tax incentives
591
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:14,719
the President's proposing are...
592
00:20:14,721 --> 00:20:15,978
Seth, you're not listening.
593
00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:18,548
How's he gonna pass those now?
594
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:19,957
With a little elbow grease.
595
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,719
Everybody, please sit.
596
00:20:21,722 --> 00:20:23,321
I'm sorry for interrupting.
597
00:20:23,324 --> 00:20:24,634
Seth, you're doing a great job
598
00:20:24,637 --> 00:20:26,736
explaining the importance of this bill.
599
00:20:26,739 --> 00:20:28,038
But I wanted to take a moment
600
00:20:28,041 --> 00:20:29,640
and come down here and thank you myself
601
00:20:29,643 --> 00:20:31,196
for being here, for listening.
602
00:20:31,199 --> 00:20:32,732
And I hope you will join me
603
00:20:32,734 --> 00:20:34,954
in making a better
future for our children.
604
00:20:40,236 --> 00:20:41,340
Right.
605
00:20:42,477 --> 00:20:44,361
They're not the friendliest group.
606
00:20:44,364 --> 00:20:45,430
I have to say,
607
00:20:45,433 --> 00:20:47,813
I was hoping for a
little support from you.
608
00:20:47,815 --> 00:20:49,649
My cars are electric.
609
00:20:49,651 --> 00:20:51,551
I've delayed automating
my plants at your request.
610
00:20:51,553 --> 00:20:53,569
- I gave at the office.
- I know. I know.
611
00:20:53,572 --> 00:20:54,787
And generously.
612
00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:56,856
But you're an industry leader.
613
00:20:56,858 --> 00:20:59,258
Your silence spoke volumes.
614
00:20:59,260 --> 00:21:01,289
If you sensed a lack
of enthusiasm in there,
615
00:21:01,292 --> 00:21:02,424
you're right.
616
00:21:02,426 --> 00:21:03,993
The people in that room want to know
617
00:21:03,995 --> 00:21:05,494
they're backing a winner.
618
00:21:05,496 --> 00:21:07,162
Come on. It was one word.
619
00:21:07,164 --> 00:21:09,098
It's not about the word, sir.
620
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:10,499
It's about leadership.
621
00:21:10,501 --> 00:21:13,302
If you can't lead the
people, you can't lead CEOs.
622
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:15,546
I was being sarcastic.
623
00:21:17,508 --> 00:21:19,842
In the end, perception is everything.
624
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:22,305
I've been fighting on
behalf of the American people
625
00:21:22,308 --> 00:21:23,741
from the second I was sworn in.
626
00:21:23,744 --> 00:21:25,510
Now they think I'm
fighting against them.
627
00:21:25,512 --> 00:21:27,946
No, they don't, sir.
628
00:21:27,948 --> 00:21:30,717
Everywhere we go, you inspire people.
629
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,152
But the problem is...
630
00:21:33,888 --> 00:21:36,355
It's all right, Mike.
Finish the sentence.
631
00:21:36,357 --> 00:21:39,024
Sir, when someone takes a cheap shot,
632
00:21:39,026 --> 00:21:40,325
you don't respond.
633
00:21:40,327 --> 00:21:41,693
I don't like mudslinging.
634
00:21:41,695 --> 00:21:42,728
It's not who I am.
635
00:21:42,730 --> 00:21:44,162
Don't sling mud, sir.
636
00:21:44,164 --> 00:21:45,964
Sling hope.
637
00:21:45,966 --> 00:21:48,600
See, that's the fight people want.
638
00:21:48,602 --> 00:21:50,068
It's the hope you give them.
639
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:53,901
And sometimes it gets lost
under all these attacks.
640
00:21:53,904 --> 00:21:56,905
You just might have a
future in politics, Mike.
641
00:21:56,907 --> 00:21:59,341
No, sir.
642
00:21:59,343 --> 00:22:02,043
I like my fights where I can see them.
643
00:22:02,045 --> 00:22:03,278
Right in front of me.
644
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Smart.
645
00:22:05,482 --> 00:22:07,048
Thank you.
646
00:22:14,057 --> 00:22:15,557
They're unloading something.
647
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,094
Wells to base.
648
00:22:25,096 --> 00:22:26,295
Suspect's leaving the scene.
649
00:22:26,297 --> 00:22:27,764
We're heading over there
now to check out the boat.
650
00:23:31,296 --> 00:23:32,962
It's Darius Cray.
651
00:23:36,996 --> 00:23:38,395
You know, Cray's boat
652
00:23:38,398 --> 00:23:40,952
had a $5 million cache
of black-market munitions.
653
00:23:40,955 --> 00:23:43,171
And we think he was
making a back-room deal
654
00:23:43,174 --> 00:23:44,582
with one of the G-20 delegates
655
00:23:44,585 --> 00:23:45,769
to arm an insurgency.
656
00:23:45,771 --> 00:23:47,525
His arrest was all over the wire, sir.
657
00:23:47,528 --> 00:23:49,759
Mumbai is linking him with
arming Tamil separatists.
658
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:50,901
The French are blaming him
659
00:23:50,903 --> 00:23:52,349
for selling C-4 to Basque insurgents.
660
00:23:52,351 --> 00:23:53,771
And we're the ones who
brought him to justice.
661
00:23:53,773 --> 00:23:54,805
It's excellent.
662
00:23:54,807 --> 00:23:56,012
That's burying the lede.
663
00:23:56,015 --> 00:23:57,411
What's important here, right now,
664
00:23:57,414 --> 00:23:59,276
is whether or not he was
connected to Thorn's murder.
665
00:23:59,278 --> 00:24:01,713
The gun found on him was
the same model, same caliber
666
00:24:01,716 --> 00:24:03,082
used to kill Charlotte Thorn.
667
00:24:03,085 --> 00:24:04,059
We're running ballistics.
668
00:24:04,061 --> 00:24:05,416
- Is Cray talking?
- No, sir.
669
00:24:05,418 --> 00:24:07,019
He's in recovery and lawyered up.
670
00:24:07,022 --> 00:24:08,857
As soon as ballistics is
back, I'll let you know.
671
00:24:08,859 --> 00:24:10,692
Okay. We should issue a press release.
672
00:24:10,695 --> 00:24:11,905
Yeah. When ballistics is back.
673
00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:13,742
It can focus on the arrest
of a notorious arms dealer.
674
00:24:13,744 --> 00:24:15,722
Which would step on the arrest
of Charlotte Thorn's killer.
675
00:24:15,724 --> 00:24:17,090
Anything to get us off Suckergate.
676
00:24:17,092 --> 00:24:18,391
Seth, have you read the papers?
677
00:24:18,393 --> 00:24:19,926
No, I get my news from carrier pigeon.
678
00:24:19,928 --> 00:24:22,460
Okay, sir, there's obviously
spirited disagreement
679
00:24:22,463 --> 00:24:24,797
about our next steps to take
to help regain our momentum.
680
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:26,569
Yes. I can see that.
681
00:24:26,572 --> 00:24:28,133
And I have an idea.
682
00:24:28,136 --> 00:24:30,034
I would like to do an OTR.
683
00:24:30,037 --> 00:24:31,436
An "on the road"?
684
00:24:31,438 --> 00:24:33,271
I like the impulse, sir.
What I don't like is the risk.
685
00:24:33,273 --> 00:24:35,043
Just too many variables
we can't control.
686
00:24:35,046 --> 00:24:36,079
We should do a one-on-one.
687
00:24:36,081 --> 00:24:37,239
With Carson Kramer.
688
00:24:37,241 --> 00:24:38,974
Same forum as when Senator
Rouse made his accusation.
689
00:24:38,976 --> 00:24:40,743
Release the oppo on Rouse
right before you go on
690
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:41,873
just to set the stage.
691
00:24:41,876 --> 00:24:42,942
Lyor, I'm not interested
692
00:24:42,944 --> 00:24:44,743
in the politics of personal destruction.
693
00:24:44,745 --> 00:24:46,512
Respectfully, sir, this
is not something that...
694
00:24:46,514 --> 00:24:48,511
Look, if the problem is
that I've lost the people,
695
00:24:48,514 --> 00:24:50,314
I need to take my
argument to the people.
696
00:24:50,316 --> 00:24:51,816
Show them that I'm fighting their fight.
697
00:24:51,818 --> 00:24:53,317
I want to do an OTR.
698
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:55,268
- Shoot for lunchtime.
- Yes, sir.
699
00:24:55,271 --> 00:24:57,783
Okay, lunch. That gives us three hours.
700
00:24:57,786 --> 00:24:59,652
I want every detail stage-managed.
701
00:24:59,654 --> 00:25:01,488
A diner. He'll order a hamburger.
702
00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:03,022
I don't want anything foofy on the menu
703
00:25:03,024 --> 00:25:04,839
like Dijon mustard or profiteroles.
704
00:25:04,842 --> 00:25:06,726
- Diners don't have profiteroles.
- Yeah, exactly.
705
00:25:06,728 --> 00:25:07,927
We should hand-pick the audience.
706
00:25:07,929 --> 00:25:09,529
Yeah, we'll stock them with
salt-of-the-earth types.
707
00:25:09,531 --> 00:25:11,297
Folks who've been victimized
by the pension fraud.
708
00:25:11,299 --> 00:25:13,666
- Kirkman fans.
- All right, I'll get started on the vetting.
709
00:25:13,668 --> 00:25:15,089
Emily, you're logistics.
710
00:25:15,092 --> 00:25:17,448
Seth, you do your thing with words.
711
00:25:17,451 --> 00:25:19,451
Yeah, I got a word for you.
712
00:25:24,204 --> 00:25:25,675
Good morning, Kendra.
713
00:25:25,677 --> 00:25:28,044
Mrs. Kirkman, I wasn't expecting you.
714
00:25:28,046 --> 00:25:29,334
I thought I should be here.
715
00:25:29,337 --> 00:25:30,947
Of course. That's absolutely your right.
716
00:25:30,949 --> 00:25:31,983
Uh, Cindy, make sure there's a chair
717
00:25:31,985 --> 00:25:33,418
for Mrs. Kirkman in the gallery.
718
00:25:33,421 --> 00:25:35,107
Oh, I'd like to second chair.
719
00:25:37,118 --> 00:25:38,417
I'll see you inside.
720
00:25:41,627 --> 00:25:42,799
Respectfully, ma'am,
721
00:25:42,802 --> 00:25:44,089
I don't think that's a good idea.
722
00:25:44,091 --> 00:25:45,257
Well, why not?
723
00:25:45,260 --> 00:25:47,346
Because this proceeding
724
00:25:47,349 --> 00:25:49,528
is about a subpoena
issued to your mother.
725
00:25:49,530 --> 00:25:51,130
- Exactly.
- Which is precisely why
726
00:25:51,132 --> 00:25:52,832
I recommend against your involvement.
727
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:55,262
Because of your personal interest.
728
00:25:55,265 --> 00:25:57,666
I appreciate your concern.
729
00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:59,569
But I need you to appreciate mine.
730
00:25:59,571 --> 00:26:00,770
I can't stand by
731
00:26:00,772 --> 00:26:03,221
and watch determinations
being made about my family
732
00:26:03,224 --> 00:26:04,807
and not participate.
733
00:26:04,809 --> 00:26:07,482
If anything went wrong, I
would never forgive myself.
734
00:26:08,847 --> 00:26:10,847
I'm sure you understand.
735
00:26:12,512 --> 00:26:13,677
Yes, ma'am.
736
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,880
Good.
737
00:26:16,188 --> 00:26:17,587
Your Honor, this subpoena
738
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:19,551
is a classic fishing expedition.
739
00:26:19,553 --> 00:26:20,852
The simple fact that
we're seeking documents
740
00:26:20,854 --> 00:26:22,315
from the President's mother-in-law
741
00:26:22,318 --> 00:26:23,418
does not make it a fishing expedition.
742
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:24,556
30 years of documents.
743
00:26:24,558 --> 00:26:26,091
And in service of a wild theory
744
00:26:26,093 --> 00:26:28,135
alleging a convoluted bribery scheme
745
00:26:28,138 --> 00:26:29,825
that spans decades.
746
00:26:29,827 --> 00:26:32,027
A theory for which Mr.
Foerstel has no evidence.
747
00:26:32,029 --> 00:26:33,395
It's called discovery, Your Honor.
748
00:26:33,397 --> 00:26:34,975
If we had the evidence, we
wouldn't need the subpoena.
749
00:26:34,977 --> 00:26:36,494
Yes, but we still need probable cause
750
00:26:36,497 --> 00:26:38,564
- to prove a crime has been committed.
- A crime was committed.
751
00:26:38,566 --> 00:26:39,598
30 years ago.
752
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,633
Mrs. Kirkman?
753
00:26:40,635 --> 00:26:42,134
Are you also appearing as counsel?
754
00:26:42,136 --> 00:26:43,709
Yes, Your Honor.
755
00:26:43,712 --> 00:26:44,837
So noted on the record.
756
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:46,572
A crime was committed 30 years ago.
757
00:26:46,574 --> 00:26:48,441
A crime which can no longer be charged.
758
00:26:48,443 --> 00:26:50,443
The warrant alleges an
ongoing conspiracy...
759
00:26:50,445 --> 00:26:51,577
I know what the warrant alleges.
760
00:26:51,579 --> 00:26:53,446
Your Honor, I believe
my co-counsel's point...
761
00:26:53,448 --> 00:26:55,014
That this is a malicious prosecution.
762
00:26:55,016 --> 00:26:56,415
How is the mere issuance of a subpoena
763
00:26:56,417 --> 00:26:58,117
a malicious prosecution?
764
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,481
The suggestion that
there was some nefarious
765
00:27:00,484 --> 00:27:02,847
pay-for-play scandal
involving my mother.
766
00:27:02,850 --> 00:27:05,650
That she could be implicated
in the murder of Eric Little,
767
00:27:05,652 --> 00:27:07,018
a man she hasn't even seen for 30 years.
768
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:08,733
Your Honor, can we please
get a 10-minute recess
769
00:27:08,735 --> 00:27:10,202
so I can consult with my co-counsel?
770
00:27:10,205 --> 00:27:12,423
I think that would be an excellent idea.
771
00:27:13,827 --> 00:27:15,861
Mrs. Kirkman, we agreed
772
00:27:15,863 --> 00:27:17,429
to keep these arguments technical.
773
00:27:17,439 --> 00:27:18,859
But not antiseptic.
774
00:27:18,862 --> 00:27:20,862
You're not making any headway in there.
775
00:27:20,865 --> 00:27:22,898
The best basis for quashing the subpoena
776
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:23,966
is its overbreadth.
777
00:27:23,968 --> 00:27:25,267
I totally disagree.
778
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:28,055
The subpoena is based on
investigational subterfuge.
779
00:27:28,058 --> 00:27:29,190
Illegal activity.
780
00:27:29,193 --> 00:27:31,306
Which are arguments I
will now have to make
781
00:27:31,308 --> 00:27:33,308
now that our procedural
attack is out the window.
782
00:27:33,311 --> 00:27:34,375
- Well, then, make them.
- I will.
783
00:27:34,377 --> 00:27:35,843
But not with you as co-counsel.
784
00:27:35,845 --> 00:27:38,345
Excuse me?
785
00:27:38,347 --> 00:27:40,080
Ma'am, I was asked to do a job.
786
00:27:40,082 --> 00:27:41,849
And I will do it to the best of ability.
787
00:27:41,852 --> 00:27:44,048
But I cannot do it if
you're compromising me.
788
00:27:44,050 --> 00:27:45,149
Well...
789
00:27:45,151 --> 00:27:46,217
That was not my intent.
790
00:27:46,219 --> 00:27:48,373
But it's your effect.
791
00:27:48,376 --> 00:27:50,488
If you want to argue the
motion, you're welcome to.
792
00:27:50,490 --> 00:27:52,223
But if I'm arguing it,
793
00:27:52,225 --> 00:27:54,559
it needs to be without
your interference.
794
00:28:00,337 --> 00:28:01,566
Oh, she's beautiful.
795
00:28:01,568 --> 00:28:02,800
And you're right.
796
00:28:02,802 --> 00:28:04,569
She looks a lot like my daughter.
797
00:28:05,538 --> 00:28:07,371
Firefighters have our backs.
798
00:28:07,374 --> 00:28:09,237
And it's time we have theirs.
799
00:28:09,239 --> 00:28:11,940
Alex, you're wrong about the Redskins.
800
00:28:11,942 --> 00:28:13,541
But you're right about everything else.
801
00:28:13,543 --> 00:28:15,506
Does this mean you're
gonna try my chili?
802
00:28:15,509 --> 00:28:16,775
Not a chance.
803
00:28:18,645 --> 00:28:20,170
- HI.
- Aww.
804
00:28:21,208 --> 00:28:22,503
Oh, she was talking to me
805
00:28:22,506 --> 00:28:23,749
about tuition reform.
806
00:28:24,918 --> 00:28:25,917
Don't worry, kiddo.
807
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:27,498
I'm gonna get to it. I promise.
808
00:28:27,501 --> 00:28:29,955
I've never seen anyone
this good with crowd work.
809
00:28:29,957 --> 00:28:31,923
It's because it's not work for him.
810
00:28:31,925 --> 00:28:32,958
It's who he is.
811
00:28:34,428 --> 00:28:35,794
- Mr. President!
- Mr. President!
812
00:28:35,796 --> 00:28:37,372
Thank you all for coming out.
813
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:39,016
- Mr. President!
- Thank you.
814
00:28:39,019 --> 00:28:40,766
- Best burger in town.
- Mr. President.
815
00:28:40,768 --> 00:28:41,933
Mr. President.
816
00:28:41,935 --> 00:28:44,107
Alice, how are you?
817
00:28:44,110 --> 00:28:45,737
Not good, sir.
818
00:28:45,739 --> 00:28:46,905
I'm hearing that
819
00:28:46,907 --> 00:28:48,373
the pension bailout bill is dead.
820
00:28:48,375 --> 00:28:49,674
That's not true.
821
00:28:49,676 --> 00:28:51,810
Well, the people I represent
want their futures back.
822
00:28:51,812 --> 00:28:54,450
Can you promise me that
you can still help them?
823
00:28:54,453 --> 00:28:56,032
Well, I-I can't promise...
824
00:28:56,035 --> 00:28:57,555
Well, then you're right, Mr. President.
825
00:28:57,557 --> 00:28:58,589
We are suckers...
826
00:28:59,253 --> 00:29:01,186
for trusting you.
827
00:29:06,325 --> 00:29:07,624
Thank you, Joan.
828
00:29:11,105 --> 00:29:12,171
It wasn't that bad.
829
00:29:12,173 --> 00:29:13,306
No, she's right.
830
00:29:13,308 --> 00:29:15,141
It was catastrophic.
831
00:29:15,143 --> 00:29:16,876
Yeah.
832
00:29:16,878 --> 00:29:18,044
So...
833
00:29:18,046 --> 00:29:20,012
You're already lost
cachet with Congress.
834
00:29:20,014 --> 00:29:21,964
Stonewalling your judicial nominees
835
00:29:21,967 --> 00:29:23,466
was the canary in the coal mine.
836
00:29:23,469 --> 00:29:25,369
Your whole legislative
agenda's at risk now.
837
00:29:25,371 --> 00:29:27,535
It was one word. I was being sarcastic.
838
00:29:27,538 --> 00:29:28,971
Not to put too fine a point on it,
839
00:29:28,974 --> 00:29:31,942
but the rule is, things
last 1 news cycle or 10.
840
00:29:31,945 --> 00:29:34,644
We kill this story today,
sir, or it kills us.
841
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:35,713
Emily?
842
00:29:35,716 --> 00:29:37,106
The business community is jumping ship.
843
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:38,682
The media is turning on you.
844
00:29:38,685 --> 00:29:40,718
If we wake up tomorrow
and Suckergate's the lead,
845
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,153
the spiral may be irreversible.
846
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:43,438
This is ridiculous.
847
00:29:43,441 --> 00:29:45,510
I mean, there has to be a solution.
848
00:29:45,513 --> 00:29:46,644
Well, there is, sir.
849
00:29:48,078 --> 00:29:49,778
It's sitting right on that coffee table.
850
00:30:12,965 --> 00:30:14,631
Call Carson Kramer.
851
00:30:15,567 --> 00:30:16,633
Yes, sir.
852
00:30:21,340 --> 00:30:23,306
Your Honor, the basis for this subpoena
853
00:30:23,308 --> 00:30:24,674
is an illegal search.
854
00:30:24,676 --> 00:30:25,875
Your Honor, the Fourth Amendment
855
00:30:25,877 --> 00:30:27,143
has zero applicability to the request
856
00:30:27,145 --> 00:30:28,445
for documents connected to a company
857
00:30:28,447 --> 00:30:30,596
that Mrs. Booker admitted
she received a bribe from.
858
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,032
There's probable cause...
859
00:30:32,035 --> 00:30:33,435
I'd like to hear Ms. Daynes out.
860
00:30:33,437 --> 00:30:34,703
Mr. Foerstel is right.
861
00:30:34,705 --> 00:30:36,988
There is probable
cause for this subpoena.
862
00:30:36,991 --> 00:30:38,270
But it stems from Hannah Wells,
863
00:30:38,273 --> 00:30:39,559
who removed a hospital record
864
00:30:39,561 --> 00:30:40,773
from an active crime scene.
865
00:30:40,776 --> 00:30:42,195
I don't see how that
invalidates the subpoena.
866
00:30:42,197 --> 00:30:43,596
The hospital record
was obtained illegally
867
00:30:43,598 --> 00:30:44,698
and without a warrant.
868
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:45,906
Fruit of the poisonous tree?
869
00:30:45,909 --> 00:30:47,141
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Hold on.
870
00:30:47,144 --> 00:30:48,944
You're complaining about
the conduct of Agent Wells?
871
00:30:48,946 --> 00:30:50,321
Agent Wells works for the White House.
872
00:30:50,323 --> 00:30:51,656
But Mrs. Booker doesn't.
873
00:30:51,658 --> 00:30:53,525
Then why is the White House
counsel representing her?
874
00:30:53,527 --> 00:30:54,742
It doesn't matter
who's representing her.
875
00:30:54,744 --> 00:30:57,070
What matters is whether
her rights were violated.
876
00:30:57,073 --> 00:30:58,372
I'm inclined to agree.
877
00:30:58,374 --> 00:31:00,174
Wait, Judge, there are
exigent circumstances.
878
00:31:00,176 --> 00:31:01,775
Agent Wells removed that document
879
00:31:01,777 --> 00:31:03,677
because she was pursuing Patrick Lloyd.
880
00:31:03,679 --> 00:31:05,246
And if you were
subpoenaing Patrick Lloyd,
881
00:31:05,248 --> 00:31:06,380
I might look the other way.
882
00:31:06,382 --> 00:31:08,749
But you're not, and I won't.
883
00:31:08,751 --> 00:31:10,301
Motion to quash granted.
884
00:31:12,955 --> 00:31:15,582
Quick out, they pick up the first down.
885
00:31:36,498 --> 00:31:38,398
Shipping out tonight.
886
00:31:38,401 --> 00:31:39,767
Yeah?
887
00:31:39,770 --> 00:31:42,738
Do you need a ride to the airport?
888
00:31:42,741 --> 00:31:43,940
Sure.
889
00:31:45,167 --> 00:31:47,600
You know, I can always call DHS
890
00:31:47,602 --> 00:31:49,202
and have you deported again.
891
00:31:49,204 --> 00:31:51,204
It's like Uber. With handcuffs.
892
00:31:51,206 --> 00:31:54,107
The ongoing pleasures
of American hospitality.
893
00:31:56,554 --> 00:31:58,187
Look, I just wanted to say...
894
00:31:59,957 --> 00:32:01,957
I know you've had my back.
895
00:32:01,959 --> 00:32:04,893
And, um, thanks.
896
00:32:06,263 --> 00:32:08,097
You, too.
897
00:32:08,099 --> 00:32:10,432
I'm kind of picky about who I work with.
898
00:32:10,434 --> 00:32:14,266
And I didn't hate you.
899
00:32:14,269 --> 00:32:17,337
So, that's kind of a big deal for me.
900
00:32:32,494 --> 00:32:33,793
Yeah?
901
00:32:35,696 --> 00:32:37,329
Um, sure.
902
00:32:37,331 --> 00:32:39,428
I think I can track Damian down. Yeah.
903
00:32:40,233 --> 00:32:41,933
Okay. See you soon.
904
00:32:43,037 --> 00:32:44,570
There's been a development
in the Thorn case.
905
00:32:44,572 --> 00:32:46,271
Aaron Shore needs to see us right away.
906
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:53,505
We got ballistics back
for Darius Cray's gun.
907
00:32:53,508 --> 00:32:55,041
It didn't kill Charlotte Thorn.
908
00:32:55,043 --> 00:32:56,831
Darius is an arms dealer.
909
00:32:56,834 --> 00:32:57,977
He's got hundreds of guns.
910
00:32:57,979 --> 00:32:59,312
And there's something else.
911
00:32:59,314 --> 00:33:01,142
There was activity in
one of Cray's accounts
912
00:33:01,144 --> 00:33:02,415
after he was shot.
913
00:33:02,418 --> 00:33:05,344
A transfer of 100 million
Euros to a Swiss bank account.
914
00:33:05,347 --> 00:33:07,247
And the only person with
access to that account
915
00:33:07,249 --> 00:33:08,449
was Catherine, his wife.
916
00:33:08,452 --> 00:33:10,251
You saying we've been
chasing the wrong Cray?
917
00:33:10,254 --> 00:33:11,672
Yeah, Catherine's
been calling the shots.
918
00:33:11,674 --> 00:33:12,902
He was just a front.
919
00:33:12,905 --> 00:33:13,895
M-Maybe.
920
00:33:13,898 --> 00:33:15,131
But we still don't know
921
00:33:15,134 --> 00:33:16,800
that Darius didn't kill Charlotte Thorn.
922
00:33:16,803 --> 00:33:18,492
Yeah, we do.
923
00:33:18,495 --> 00:33:19,418
What?
924
00:33:19,421 --> 00:33:20,861
Check this out.
925
00:33:23,232 --> 00:33:26,500
This was taken yesterday morning.
926
00:33:29,805 --> 00:33:31,672
Darius was moving guns
927
00:33:31,674 --> 00:33:33,095
when Charlotte Thorn was killed.
928
00:33:34,810 --> 00:33:36,432
Which means that I have
to tell the President
929
00:33:36,434 --> 00:33:38,679
that our investigation is ongoing.
930
00:33:38,681 --> 00:33:40,347
And you two have to get back to work.
931
00:33:45,654 --> 00:33:47,921
It's been a rough couple
of days, Mr. President.
932
00:33:47,923 --> 00:33:49,590
Yes. Yes, it has.
933
00:33:49,592 --> 00:33:51,273
But you won't hear me complain.
934
00:33:51,276 --> 00:33:52,418
Not for a second.
935
00:33:52,421 --> 00:33:54,312
Because I know that
there are people out there
936
00:33:54,315 --> 00:33:57,482
who are really having
a rough time right now.
937
00:33:57,484 --> 00:33:59,017
Now, I know you want to address
938
00:33:59,019 --> 00:34:01,420
Senator Rouse's, uh, incendiary claim
939
00:34:01,422 --> 00:34:04,089
that you called the
American people suckers.
940
00:34:04,091 --> 00:34:05,657
The floor is yours, sir.
941
00:34:05,659 --> 00:34:06,758
Thank you.
942
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,093
I think that there is something
943
00:34:08,095 --> 00:34:10,135
the American people should
know about Senator Rouse.
944
00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:13,665
And that is...
945
00:34:18,872 --> 00:34:20,739
Go there. Please go there.
946
00:34:23,978 --> 00:34:25,655
that he is telling the truth.
947
00:34:25,658 --> 00:34:26,794
Oh, my God.
948
00:34:26,797 --> 00:34:27,830
What is he doing?
949
00:34:27,833 --> 00:34:29,398
He took my words out of context,
950
00:34:29,401 --> 00:34:30,796
but he is quoting me accurately.
951
00:34:30,799 --> 00:34:31,969
This is bad.
952
00:34:31,971 --> 00:34:34,438
So you really think the
American people are suckers?
953
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,674
Yes. I guess so.
954
00:34:39,227 --> 00:34:41,962
Because they believe
in the American dream.
955
00:34:41,965 --> 00:34:43,397
This idea that our best tomorrows
956
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,633
are in front of us,
957
00:34:44,635 --> 00:34:47,002
regardless of what
today might be saying.
958
00:34:47,004 --> 00:34:49,638
And if that makes you a sucker,
959
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,606
then count me in.
960
00:34:51,608 --> 00:34:52,674
Less bad.
961
00:34:52,676 --> 00:34:54,224
The great American generations
962
00:34:54,227 --> 00:34:55,360
that have come before us...
963
00:34:55,363 --> 00:34:56,762
Bring it home, sir. Bring it home.
964
00:34:56,765 --> 00:34:57,864
Have always managed
965
00:34:57,866 --> 00:34:59,866
to pull together when times were tough.
966
00:34:59,868 --> 00:35:01,635
We cannot be the exception.
967
00:35:01,638 --> 00:35:03,438
And that's why it is so important
968
00:35:03,441 --> 00:35:06,008
that Congress gets behind
the pension bailout bill.
969
00:35:06,011 --> 00:35:07,150
Too many Americans
970
00:35:07,153 --> 00:35:08,709
have had their security and their dreams
971
00:35:08,711 --> 00:35:09,776
snatched away from them.
972
00:35:09,778 --> 00:35:11,127
Trending good.
973
00:35:11,130 --> 00:35:13,397
It's our turn to fix that.
974
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,600
So, I am promising the American people
975
00:35:15,603 --> 00:35:16,916
that I will not rest
976
00:35:16,919 --> 00:35:20,120
until that security and those dreams
977
00:35:20,122 --> 00:35:21,588
have been restored.
978
00:35:28,364 --> 00:35:31,165
I'm calling our pollsters.
979
00:35:33,535 --> 00:35:35,802
Our boss may have just
pulled off the great escape.
980
00:35:46,969 --> 00:35:48,617
Thank you for seeing me, sir.
981
00:35:48,620 --> 00:35:50,367
You're gonna have to
make it quick, Senator.
982
00:35:50,370 --> 00:35:52,906
- I don't have a lot of time for you right now.
- I understand.
983
00:35:52,909 --> 00:35:54,195
I just wanted to let you know
984
00:35:54,198 --> 00:35:56,742
I've decided to support
your pension bailout bill.
985
00:35:56,745 --> 00:35:58,594
- You have?
- Yes, sir.
986
00:35:58,597 --> 00:36:01,724
Well, I hope nobody coerced
you into changing your mind.
987
00:36:01,727 --> 00:36:05,429
I don't expect you to forgive
my political opportunism.
988
00:36:07,666 --> 00:36:10,133
I have an explanation, not an excuse.
989
00:36:10,135 --> 00:36:11,802
I'm listening.
990
00:36:13,606 --> 00:36:16,740
Sonia has, um... ovarian cancer.
991
00:36:16,742 --> 00:36:19,209
Oh, my God.
992
00:36:19,211 --> 00:36:20,844
I am so sorry.
993
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:23,272
A-Alan, please... Please sit.
994
00:36:23,275 --> 00:36:24,908
Thank you, sir.
995
00:36:31,777 --> 00:36:34,011
So it's two years in.
996
00:36:34,013 --> 00:36:39,282
Been an up-and-down battle. Stressful.
997
00:36:39,284 --> 00:36:41,750
I took comfort elsewhere.
998
00:36:43,756 --> 00:36:45,155
An affair.
999
00:36:47,935 --> 00:36:49,134
I-I called it off,
1000
00:36:49,137 --> 00:36:52,472
and, um, Sonia and I are in counseling.
1001
00:36:52,474 --> 00:36:53,640
We're trying to work it out,
1002
00:36:53,642 --> 00:36:57,138
but my marriage is
hanging on by a thread.
1003
00:36:57,141 --> 00:37:00,350
And the children...
1004
00:37:00,353 --> 00:37:02,453
I'm so sorry you're going through this.
1005
00:37:05,086 --> 00:37:08,488
We all have our cross to bear.
1006
00:37:08,490 --> 00:37:13,526
I... guess I...
1007
00:37:13,529 --> 00:37:15,265
needed a victory.
1008
00:37:15,268 --> 00:37:16,234
I was desperate,
1009
00:37:16,236 --> 00:37:18,369
and when I saw the opportunity, I...
1010
00:37:21,808 --> 00:37:23,007
Alan.
1011
00:37:23,009 --> 00:37:24,809
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
1012
00:37:27,882 --> 00:37:30,783
Thank you for coming to
me a-and explaining this.
1013
00:37:36,055 --> 00:37:38,734
Mr. President, Alice Roland is here.
1014
00:37:38,737 --> 00:37:41,004
Thank you, Lily. I'm
gonna need a moment.
1015
00:37:53,311 --> 00:37:55,077
I need you to look at this.
1016
00:38:01,819 --> 00:38:03,753
Oh, my God.
1017
00:38:03,755 --> 00:38:06,088
I didn't use it.
1018
00:38:06,090 --> 00:38:08,858
I couldn't.
1019
00:38:08,860 --> 00:38:11,527
But if I have it,
1020
00:38:11,529 --> 00:38:13,729
you need to take care of this now.
1021
00:38:20,705 --> 00:38:23,639
Man, our boss has more lives than a cat.
1022
00:38:23,642 --> 00:38:25,980
Good thing for us kittens.
1023
00:38:25,982 --> 00:38:28,215
So, since we're not
burning the midnight oil...
1024
00:38:28,217 --> 00:38:30,107
Oh, come by anytime. I'll
put out a bowl of milk.
1025
00:38:30,109 --> 00:38:32,065
- We can torture metaphors.
- Sounds good.
1026
00:38:32,068 --> 00:38:33,233
Hey.
1027
00:38:33,236 --> 00:38:34,569
What is it?
1028
00:38:34,571 --> 00:38:36,071
Is that like a mannequin challenge thing
1029
00:38:36,073 --> 00:38:37,105
or something?
1030
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:38,606
Never mind.
1031
00:38:41,380 --> 00:38:43,980
Our latest, uh, poll numbers.
1032
00:38:43,983 --> 00:38:45,349
Hm.
1033
00:38:45,352 --> 00:38:47,271
Our boss did okay tonight, huh?
1034
00:38:47,274 --> 00:38:48,615
He did okay.
1035
00:38:48,618 --> 00:38:49,959
You think he's weak
1036
00:38:49,962 --> 00:38:51,495
for not using the oppo, right?
1037
00:38:53,061 --> 00:38:55,395
No. I think he's the President.
1038
00:38:58,862 --> 00:39:00,328
Thank you for coming.
1039
00:39:00,330 --> 00:39:01,629
I invited you back here
1040
00:39:01,631 --> 00:39:03,698
because I wanted to tell you myself
1041
00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:05,467
how much I respect you.
1042
00:39:05,469 --> 00:39:09,471
Well, that respect is mutual, sir.
1043
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:15,110
I saw your interview on television.
1044
00:39:15,112 --> 00:39:17,846
I know what kind of man you are.
1045
00:39:17,848 --> 00:39:19,614
An honest man.
1046
00:39:19,616 --> 00:39:21,216
Thank you.
1047
00:39:21,218 --> 00:39:23,384
I appreciate that.
1048
00:39:23,386 --> 00:39:27,889
I do the best I can,
and I know you do, too.
1049
00:39:27,891 --> 00:39:30,859
Your work as a victims'
advocate is inspiring.
1050
00:39:30,861 --> 00:39:33,061
And... And I hope you don't mind,
1051
00:39:33,063 --> 00:39:36,698
but I wanted to find
out what motivated you.
1052
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:38,233
And I was surprised to see
1053
00:39:38,235 --> 00:39:40,235
that you weren't one of the victims.
1054
00:39:40,237 --> 00:39:44,472
But instead, the wife of
one of the perpetrators.
1055
00:39:44,475 --> 00:39:46,835
Your late husband managed
one of the feeder funds
1056
00:39:46,838 --> 00:39:48,638
and funneled hundreds
of millions of dollars
1057
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,906
back to himself.
1058
00:39:53,212 --> 00:39:54,878
Yes.
1059
00:39:56,481 --> 00:39:58,048
So, you became an advocate
1060
00:39:58,050 --> 00:40:00,750
out of a sense of obligation...
1061
00:40:01,726 --> 00:40:03,326
to those who paid such a high price
1062
00:40:03,329 --> 00:40:04,862
while your family prospered.
1063
00:40:08,474 --> 00:40:11,365
Yes.
1064
00:40:11,368 --> 00:40:13,301
The guilt must be overwhelming.
1065
00:40:15,262 --> 00:40:16,528
I would expect at times
1066
00:40:16,530 --> 00:40:18,497
you feel like it's hard to even go on.
1067
00:40:26,306 --> 00:40:29,441
I feel like that every time
I walk into this building.
1068
00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:35,780
And sit in that chair...
1069
00:40:35,783 --> 00:40:38,383
and have someone call
me "Mr. President"...
1070
00:40:41,404 --> 00:40:45,524
simply because I survived,
1071
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:47,392
because I was lucky.
1072
00:40:51,131 --> 00:40:52,998
You know what people like you and I
1073
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,167
are supposed to do
with that kind of luck?
1074
00:40:55,169 --> 00:40:57,302
No, sir.
1075
00:40:57,304 --> 00:40:59,905
Pay it forward.
1076
00:41:02,443 --> 00:41:04,176
I promise you...
1077
00:41:04,178 --> 00:41:07,012
In fact, I pledge to you...
1078
00:41:07,014 --> 00:41:10,348
That I will do everything in my power
1079
00:41:10,350 --> 00:41:12,184
to try and pay it forward.
1080
00:41:14,388 --> 00:41:16,822
And I know you will, too.
1081
00:41:18,659 --> 00:41:20,392
Yes.
1082
00:41:20,453 --> 00:41:25,325
