1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:02,319
Previously on Designated Survivor...
2
00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:05,697
Warehouse burns down,
dead body turns up, you're there.
3
00:00:05,781 --> 00:00:08,533
Whatever you're mixed up in,
your hands better be clean.
4
00:00:08,617 --> 00:00:11,161
The account in St. Lucia
in your name
5
00:00:11,244 --> 00:00:12,913
that Eric Little opened is damning.
6
00:00:12,996 --> 00:00:15,248
Unless Hannah Wells
can find the banker who set it up,
7
00:00:15,332 --> 00:00:16,792
we cannot clear you.
8
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:19,294
If Lang confesses that
he was working at Lloyd's behest
9
00:00:19,378 --> 00:00:22,130
to make it look like the First Lady
was getting a payola from Icarus,
10
00:00:22,214 --> 00:00:23,173
we can clear her name.
11
00:00:23,256 --> 00:00:25,967
I'm gonna hit the loo.
See you in a second.
12
00:00:27,219 --> 00:00:28,178
Mr. Lang.
13
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:29,388
We just missed him.
14
00:00:29,471 --> 00:00:30,889
Someone tipped him off.
15
00:00:30,972 --> 00:00:32,766
You need to fire Foerstel.
16
00:00:32,849 --> 00:00:35,102
He's doing his job.
Maybe not the way we want him to,
17
00:00:35,185 --> 00:00:37,562
but I can't fire him for that.
If I did, who would I be?
18
00:00:37,646 --> 00:00:38,980
My husband.
19
00:00:39,064 --> 00:00:41,691
I ran Lang's cell phone.
You were right.
20
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:44,194
Somebody called him
right before you got to his condo.
21
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:46,488
Call came from 4th and H.
22
00:00:46,571 --> 00:00:48,407
I'm gonna hit the loo.
I'll meet you there.
23
00:01:26,903 --> 00:01:28,363
Hannah, where did you go?
24
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:43,462
What are you doing?
25
00:01:43,545 --> 00:01:45,213
I was gonna get some water.
26
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:48,091
I could use some myself.
27
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:50,177
Too much red wine.
28
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:53,054
You don't have to get me drunk
to take advantage of me.
29
00:01:53,138 --> 00:01:56,349
Oh, you just can't handle
your alcohol, sport.
30
00:01:56,433 --> 00:01:57,976
I'll get you some aspirin.
31
00:01:58,059 --> 00:01:59,060
Wait.
32
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,939
I know a better hangover cure.
33
00:02:11,072 --> 00:02:15,911
With dozens dead, billions in damage
and more than one million acres consumed,
34
00:02:15,994 --> 00:02:20,499
the Shenandoah fire's now one of the worst
in American history.
35
00:02:20,582 --> 00:02:23,835
After weeks of battle, the question now is
36
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,630
whether the government
will throw in the towel.
37
00:02:27,422 --> 00:02:30,759
No, the question now is if doing so
will look like abject surrender.
38
00:02:30,842 --> 00:02:32,052
It's an act of God.
39
00:02:32,135 --> 00:02:35,555
To voters, the president is God.
God should be able to put out a fire.
40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,558
This fire's lasted 26 days
and we've barely made a dent.
41
00:02:38,642 --> 00:02:41,144
Seth, how would you make
this announcement?
42
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:44,814
I can get quotes
from leading conservation experts
43
00:02:44,898 --> 00:02:47,359
saying that letting the fire burn
is ecologically sound.
44
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:52,405
Okay, we're gonna let this
burn itself out.
45
00:02:52,489 --> 00:02:54,157
- Prepare the statement.
- Yes, sir.
46
00:02:56,451 --> 00:02:59,496
Aaron, we're about to announce
that we're pulling back.
47
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:01,122
Is everyone there safe?
48
00:03:01,206 --> 00:03:02,832
95% of it, sir.
49
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:07,462
National Park Service's going door-to-door
to clear the remaining holdouts.
50
00:03:07,545 --> 00:03:09,631
I'll monitor the situation closely.
51
00:03:09,714 --> 00:03:13,635
Okay, thank you for your hard work.
Finish up and get back home.
52
00:03:13,718 --> 00:03:16,054
- As soon as I can, sir.
- Okay.
53
00:03:34,739 --> 00:03:36,533
Sir, you need to evacuate now.
54
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,034
We're on a religious retreat.
55
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:39,202
I appreciate that,
56
00:03:39,286 --> 00:03:42,372
but a command decision's been made
to let this fire burn itself out.
57
00:03:42,455 --> 00:03:44,833
- How many are you?
- Twenty of us.
58
00:03:44,916 --> 00:03:46,001
We can bring you down.
59
00:03:46,084 --> 00:03:48,086
No, thanks.
We have transportation.
60
00:03:48,169 --> 00:03:50,797
Get moving.
Fire jumps that ridge, you're out of time.
61
00:03:51,381 --> 00:03:53,216
Understood. Thank you, sir.
62
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:06,521
You know what to do.
63
00:04:14,696 --> 00:04:18,491
They're called the Church of the Witnesses
of the Covenant.
64
00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:20,493
- A cult?
- Evidence is to the contrary.
65
00:04:20,577 --> 00:04:22,454
Few hundred members, taxpayers.
66
00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:24,247
No legal problems, solid citizens.
67
00:04:24,331 --> 00:04:26,958
If they're trying to barbecue themselves,
they're a cult.
68
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:28,376
You're an atheist.
69
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:30,503
You think anyone who's God-fearing
is loony.
70
00:04:30,587 --> 00:04:33,089
I'm agnostic, but I do believe
71
00:04:33,173 --> 00:04:36,718
letting 20 folks burn on federal land
during Christmas
72
00:04:36,801 --> 00:04:38,553
is bad political mojo.
73
00:04:38,637 --> 00:04:39,846
Also, the 20 people.
74
00:04:39,929 --> 00:04:42,182
- How long's he been in there, Mike?
- Fifteen minutes.
75
00:04:42,265 --> 00:04:44,643
These usually last 30 minutes.
76
00:04:44,726 --> 00:04:45,852
This one will go longer.
77
00:04:45,935 --> 00:04:48,355
He's getting every vet's
detailed deployment history.
78
00:04:48,438 --> 00:04:49,564
Clear the decks.
79
00:04:49,648 --> 00:04:52,442
♪ God rest ye merry gentlemen ♪
80
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:53,401
Oh, boy.
81
00:04:53,485 --> 00:04:54,611
♪ Let nothing you dismay ♪
82
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,905
- Sorry, girls. We'll find you later.
- Aw...
83
00:05:00,158 --> 00:05:01,868
- You wanna pull him out?
- No.
84
00:05:01,951 --> 00:05:03,370
You're the Chief of Staff.
85
00:05:03,453 --> 00:05:05,580
You're right.
I'm ordering you to pull him out.
86
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,460
Secretary Pilson, what have you got?
87
00:05:10,543 --> 00:05:12,796
Fire's crested Blackrock Gap.
88
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,091
Which means another 300,000 acres
are as good as lost.
89
00:05:16,174 --> 00:05:18,426
How long till it gets down
to the bottom of the valley?
90
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:20,178
An hour, tops.
91
00:05:20,261 --> 00:05:23,056
Unless the Forest Service continues
to deploy its assets.
92
00:05:23,139 --> 00:05:25,725
But hundreds of people will be in danger.
93
00:05:25,809 --> 00:05:29,396
To save 20 who can leave but won't.
It's not ideal, sir.
94
00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:32,524
Either for the firefighters
or the churchgoers in that cabin.
95
00:05:32,607 --> 00:05:35,485
Are we sure
this isn't a hostage situation?
96
00:05:35,568 --> 00:05:36,945
Doesn't appear so, sir.
97
00:05:37,028 --> 00:05:40,740
The group's spokesperson is their deacon,
David Sheridan.
98
00:05:40,824 --> 00:05:42,367
He'll only speak to the White House.
99
00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:44,661
What leverage has he got to demand that?
100
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:47,330
The leverage of knowing
I won't let 20 people die
101
00:05:47,414 --> 00:05:49,082
just 'cause I wouldn't talk to them.
102
00:05:50,125 --> 00:05:51,626
I don't have a choice.
103
00:05:51,709 --> 00:05:54,712
I don't want you involved in this.
We need an emissary.
104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,092
You're right.
Let's see if Aaron can talk 'em down.
105
00:06:04,556 --> 00:06:07,142
Mr. Sheridan, if you wanna talk,
we'll listen.
106
00:06:07,225 --> 00:06:09,602
But this conversation can't happen here.
107
00:06:09,686 --> 00:06:13,648
We're not afraid, Mr. Shore,
but you obviously are.
108
00:06:13,731 --> 00:06:15,233
So I'll get to the point.
109
00:06:15,316 --> 00:06:16,985
- Grace Morgan.
- I don't know who that is.
110
00:06:17,068 --> 00:06:19,904
Our parishioner Carrie Morgan's
six-month-old baby girl
111
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:23,741
in custody of the federal government.
112
00:06:23,825 --> 00:06:25,243
- For what?
- Medical treatment.
113
00:06:25,326 --> 00:06:27,579
Grace has a rare
congenital heart condition.
114
00:06:28,371 --> 00:06:31,458
And the medical intervention
the doctors recommend,
115
00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:33,668
it goes against scripture.
116
00:06:34,544 --> 00:06:36,379
You're refusing
to let her have the surgery?
117
00:06:36,463 --> 00:06:40,633
No, sir.
We're insisting on honoring God's word.
118
00:06:41,718 --> 00:06:44,512
- Where is Grace now?
- At Walter Reed.
119
00:06:44,596 --> 00:06:49,851
As soon as the government releases her
to her mother, we will come down.
120
00:06:49,934 --> 00:06:53,730
I have a bus waiting for anyone
who wishes to be transported to safety.
121
00:06:54,397 --> 00:06:58,693
Anyone who does
should go with Mr. Shore.
122
00:06:58,776 --> 00:07:03,031
No one should be here
except of their own free will.
123
00:07:11,790 --> 00:07:16,753
Sir, this negotiation will take time.
You have hours, maybe minutes.
124
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:19,297
Then I suggest you speak
to the appropriate authorities
125
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:21,716
because we've already convened with ours.
126
00:07:29,057 --> 00:07:30,725
Yeah, this is Aaron Shore.
Put me through.
127
00:07:32,602 --> 00:07:34,729
Mr. President,
we have a big problem.
128
00:07:41,258 --> 00:07:46,258
Subtitles by explosiveskull
129
00:07:49,152 --> 00:07:50,403
- Hey.
- Hey.
130
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:53,114
Subpoena prep.
131
00:07:53,865 --> 00:07:57,911
We have to meet Kendra this afternoon
before I head over to the FBI.
132
00:07:57,994 --> 00:07:59,454
I cleared the decks.
133
00:08:00,663 --> 00:08:02,790
Seth wants to move
the National Christmas Tree Lighting
134
00:08:02,874 --> 00:08:04,584
to tomorrow afternoon, okay?
135
00:08:05,168 --> 00:08:09,714
Sure. Give the public a sunny image
in case it's a bad news day, right?
136
00:08:09,797 --> 00:08:12,008
Something like that.
137
00:08:14,135 --> 00:08:16,262
I'll be in the Oval if you need me.
138
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:37,992
Thank you.
139
00:08:39,911 --> 00:08:41,704
Thanks for agreeing to see me.
140
00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:43,790
Your daughter's beautiful, Carrie.
141
00:08:43,873 --> 00:08:47,001
And so very sick.
142
00:08:48,044 --> 00:08:50,964
They say Grace has tetralogy of Fallot.
143
00:08:52,006 --> 00:08:55,551
Not enough blood is getting
to her lungs, not enough oxygen.
144
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:57,679
She'll turn blue first.
145
00:08:58,972 --> 00:09:00,390
And then, eventually...
146
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:02,141
None of that has to happen.
147
00:09:02,225 --> 00:09:03,309
I've spoken with the doctors
148
00:09:03,393 --> 00:09:06,270
and with open-heart surgery,
she has a chance.
149
00:09:06,354 --> 00:09:08,648
- That's not an option.
- Why not?
150
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:11,025
Transfusions.
151
00:09:13,277 --> 00:09:15,697
The Bible commands us
to abstain from blood
152
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,533
because only God is the giver of life.
153
00:09:18,616 --> 00:09:20,493
The Bible also commands us
to heal the sick.
154
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:22,537
Yes.
155
00:09:23,955 --> 00:09:26,499
But your choice would condemn her.
156
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:31,879
No. It would allow her to laugh and play
and grow up.
157
00:09:31,963 --> 00:09:35,758
I understand why the president
sent you, Ms. Rhodes.
158
00:09:36,551 --> 00:09:38,011
You know scripture.
159
00:09:38,636 --> 00:09:41,389
You should know
none of those things matter
160
00:09:41,472 --> 00:09:45,059
if we have to violate God's word
in order to attain them.
161
00:09:45,768 --> 00:09:47,812
This is the test we face.
162
00:09:49,272 --> 00:09:52,734
Honoring God when it's easier not to.
163
00:09:52,817 --> 00:09:57,447
Grace doesn't know anything about a test.
She is just trying to breathe.
164
00:09:57,530 --> 00:10:00,408
And I would give my life
to help her do that,
165
00:10:01,784 --> 00:10:03,786
but she's in God's hands now.
166
00:10:06,831 --> 00:10:09,333
Okay, thank you, Emily.
Keep me posted.
167
00:10:10,418 --> 00:10:14,005
Surgeons are ready,
but the mother won't give her consent.
168
00:10:14,088 --> 00:10:15,173
Why do we need it?
169
00:10:15,256 --> 00:10:17,925
It's illegal for a parent to withhold
lifesaving treatment
170
00:10:18,009 --> 00:10:19,177
from their child based on religion.
171
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:20,803
It's not clear that it will work.
172
00:10:21,471 --> 00:10:25,099
Open-heart surgery with transfusions
on an infant? It's risky.
173
00:10:25,183 --> 00:10:28,269
If there is no guarantee of the outcome,
we're in a gray area.
174
00:10:28,352 --> 00:10:32,231
Which means they're staying in that cabin
to keep the pressure on.
175
00:10:32,315 --> 00:10:35,109
Aaron, how's it looking on the fire front?
176
00:10:35,193 --> 00:10:38,613
Precarious. I just spoke to
the Parks Department union rep.
177
00:10:38,696 --> 00:10:40,531
He's threatening to tell the firefighters
to stand down.
178
00:10:40,615 --> 00:10:44,786
It'll be hard to control the narrative
on this one if it drags on.
179
00:10:44,869 --> 00:10:49,248
Religious activists could slam you
for interfering with the mother's rights.
180
00:10:49,332 --> 00:10:51,834
Children's rights activists will
declare you public enemy
181
00:10:51,918 --> 00:10:52,752
if you let the baby die.
182
00:10:53,878 --> 00:10:56,506
Do we have legal options
that will help us?
183
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:59,592
There's no legal prohibition
for standing in the path of a fire.
184
00:10:59,675 --> 00:11:03,096
Unless you're barking mad,
which these people clearly are.
185
00:11:03,179 --> 00:11:06,390
Clearly? No.
But we can challenge their competency.
186
00:11:06,474 --> 00:11:09,352
If they're a danger to themselves,
we can forcibly remove them.
187
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:11,312
Which would clear the way
to operate on Grace
188
00:11:11,395 --> 00:11:12,897
and solve our problem.
189
00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:18,444
Aaron, I wanna speak to the man
who is leading these people.
190
00:11:18,528 --> 00:11:20,571
- I'll set up the call, sir.
- Okay, thank you.
191
00:11:23,574 --> 00:11:25,660
I need to know
if Damian tipped off that banker.
192
00:11:25,743 --> 00:11:28,287
He may be part of the plot
to frame the First Lady.
193
00:11:28,371 --> 00:11:30,873
And he may be connected to Lloyd.
194
00:11:30,957 --> 00:11:32,333
I can confirm two things.
195
00:11:32,416 --> 00:11:33,876
Damian's SIM card proves
196
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,254
the call that tipped off the banker
came from his number.
197
00:11:36,337 --> 00:11:38,214
And his phone was cloned.
198
00:11:38,798 --> 00:11:39,882
Meaning what?
199
00:11:39,966 --> 00:11:43,094
Someone could have used his number
to make him look guilty.
200
00:11:43,177 --> 00:11:45,763
- Okay.
- Or Damian cloned it himself
201
00:11:45,847 --> 00:11:48,516
to throw us off the scent
in case he came under suspicion.
202
00:11:49,183 --> 00:11:50,852
That's a pretty wild theory.
203
00:11:52,103 --> 00:11:53,813
What do you know about him?
204
00:11:53,896 --> 00:11:56,065
I know he helped me find Lloyd.
205
00:11:56,148 --> 00:11:58,651
- What else?
- I know you don't like him.
206
00:11:58,734 --> 00:12:00,069
It's not about that.
207
00:12:00,903 --> 00:12:03,114
I mean, yeah, I don't like him.
208
00:12:03,197 --> 00:12:07,410
His smarmy British superiority,
the way he treats me like his valet...
209
00:12:07,493 --> 00:12:10,162
- Chuck...
- There's something off about him.
210
00:12:11,706 --> 00:12:16,836
I can't put my finger on it.
But he's suspect.
211
00:12:18,212 --> 00:12:19,297
Thank you.
212
00:12:21,299 --> 00:12:22,133
For what?
213
00:12:22,717 --> 00:12:24,051
For always looking out for me.
214
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:26,721
But I can look out for myself.
215
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,234
Get me Detective Blakey.
216
00:12:41,569 --> 00:12:44,864
You and your people
are in a very dangerous position.
217
00:12:44,947 --> 00:12:46,115
I appreciate that.
218
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:50,202
Then please, come down.
We'll sit together and talk this through.
219
00:12:50,286 --> 00:12:52,663
Will you release Grace to her mother?
220
00:12:52,747 --> 00:12:54,582
I don't have the authority to do that.
221
00:12:55,166 --> 00:12:57,793
A court decided that
in the best interests of the child,
222
00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:00,004
she'll have the surgery
her mother is trying to stop.
223
00:13:00,087 --> 00:13:03,591
Then there's nothing for us to talk about.
224
00:13:04,634 --> 00:13:07,428
Sir, it's Christmastime.
225
00:13:08,471 --> 00:13:10,640
We're supposed to be
celebrating the story of a child
226
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,475
that brings us together,
not pulls us apart.
227
00:13:12,558 --> 00:13:14,018
Yes, sir.
228
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:19,899
But the Christmas story,
it's a story of faith.
229
00:13:19,982 --> 00:13:23,110
There is no better time for us
to demonstrate ours.
230
00:13:23,861 --> 00:13:26,364
I have been in touch
with the National Weather Service.
231
00:13:26,447 --> 00:13:29,951
Rain is coming. But even with that
and everything we're throwing at this,
232
00:13:30,034 --> 00:13:32,411
we won't stop the fire on time.
233
00:13:32,495 --> 00:13:33,329
I understand.
234
00:13:33,412 --> 00:13:35,748
And I'm in contact with Carrie Morgan.
235
00:13:35,831 --> 00:13:41,087
The moment that the government releases
baby Grace into her custody,
236
00:13:41,170 --> 00:13:42,713
we will evacuate.
237
00:13:42,797 --> 00:13:44,674
Not before. Thank you, sir.
238
00:13:45,466 --> 00:13:47,718
Does he strike you as incompetent?
239
00:13:47,802 --> 00:13:50,638
No. He's aware of the danger
and is choosing to ignore it.
240
00:13:50,721 --> 00:13:53,182
Which means he doesn't fit
the legal definition of crazy.
241
00:13:53,265 --> 00:13:55,851
Which means
we've lost our judicial option.
242
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:58,521
We need to start thinking outside the box.
243
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:00,773
Find another solution
that will work for everyone.
244
00:14:00,856 --> 00:14:01,941
- Yes, sir.
- Yes.
245
00:14:04,068 --> 00:14:06,487
I just got back from the Shenandoah fire,
Detective Blakey.
246
00:14:06,570 --> 00:14:09,824
I'm running behind, which means
I don't have a lot of time for you today.
247
00:14:09,907 --> 00:14:11,284
I won't take long.
248
00:14:11,367 --> 00:14:13,160
I got a job with the bureau.
Closing my case files.
249
00:14:13,244 --> 00:14:14,787
Thought I'd leave you with something.
250
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:16,622
It's about Damian Rennett.
Security footage.
251
00:14:16,706 --> 00:14:17,957
He's not a White House employee.
252
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,750
So Agent Wells informed me.
253
00:14:19,834 --> 00:14:21,752
Problem is, he doesn't seem to be
anyone's employee.
254
00:14:21,836 --> 00:14:24,171
British embassy won't answer questions
about him. White House won't.
255
00:14:24,255 --> 00:14:25,381
All I can tell you,
256
00:14:25,464 --> 00:14:28,426
he's been detailed here
to help on investigations.
257
00:14:28,509 --> 00:14:29,677
Here's what I can tell you.
258
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,388
That guy is bad news. He can't be trusted.
259
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:34,307
Can you be more specific?
260
00:14:35,057 --> 00:14:37,476
Video's pretty specific.
Merry Christmas.
261
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,702
You know what I learned
as a prosecutor?
262
00:14:54,785 --> 00:14:56,996
The more a target reaches out,
the more they have to hide.
263
00:14:57,079 --> 00:15:01,584
First Lady isn't reaching out. I am.
Lawyer to lawyer with an offer.
264
00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:03,836
I'm listening.
265
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:06,088
You want to prove
that the First Lady is involved
266
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:08,883
in some bribery scandal
with Icarus Astrotech.
267
00:15:08,966 --> 00:15:11,719
It's clear I won't stop you
from pursuing that.
268
00:15:11,802 --> 00:15:14,096
- Correct.
- I wanna ask you something different.
269
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,475
Postpone your subpoena.
Continue your investigation.
270
00:15:17,558 --> 00:15:19,685
You have my word
the First Lady will cooperate.
271
00:15:19,769 --> 00:15:22,646
That's not an offer.
That's desperation.
272
00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:24,732
The desperation is yours.
273
00:15:24,815 --> 00:15:27,943
You rushed your subpoena
so you could capitalize on
274
00:15:28,027 --> 00:15:30,446
the media's pressure on the White House.
275
00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:33,491
Your presence here suggests
I've succeeded.
276
00:15:33,574 --> 00:15:34,784
You're worried.
277
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:36,160
I'm pragmatic.
278
00:15:36,243 --> 00:15:39,330
You have nothing.
But you might strike a lucky blow,
279
00:15:39,413 --> 00:15:41,582
catch her in a trivial contradiction.
280
00:15:41,665 --> 00:15:43,084
To forestall that uncertainty,
281
00:15:43,167 --> 00:15:45,544
you're offering a vague promise
of cooperation?
282
00:15:45,628 --> 00:15:49,423
I'll specify. We'll not oppose
any reasonable discovery request.
283
00:15:49,507 --> 00:15:51,926
Not one interrogatory or document request.
284
00:15:52,009 --> 00:15:54,887
No, you'll use the time
for a better defense.
285
00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:57,681
We already have that defense.
The truth.
286
00:15:57,765 --> 00:15:58,808
With more information,
287
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:00,810
you'll see the First Lady
isn't complicit in anything.
288
00:16:01,769 --> 00:16:03,187
I have a counter offer.
289
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,192
That's the price for me standing down.
290
00:16:08,943 --> 00:16:12,988
Take it to the First Lady.
Deal expires in two hours.
291
00:16:22,832 --> 00:16:25,042
You wanna plead
to obstruction of justice?
292
00:16:25,126 --> 00:16:27,336
To end to this investigation, yes.
293
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:30,172
He's offering me a no contest plea.
294
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:32,925
That's not an admission
of criminal conduct.
295
00:16:33,008 --> 00:16:35,136
But legally
it's equal to a conviction, right?
296
00:16:35,219 --> 00:16:38,722
Yes, but any sentence will be suspended
297
00:16:38,806 --> 00:16:41,725
and she'll be granted immunity
from other events.
298
00:16:41,809 --> 00:16:43,936
There won't be other events.
299
00:16:44,019 --> 00:16:47,148
Tom, I understand that
and so does Foerstel.
300
00:16:47,231 --> 00:16:50,651
Tying me to a bribery conspiracy
will be a hard case to make.
301
00:16:51,235 --> 00:16:53,904
But he's offering an obstruction plea
302
00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:57,867
so that he can walk away with something
and I get to reduce risk.
303
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:00,828
What's her exposure if she walks away?
304
00:17:00,911 --> 00:17:02,496
If today doesn't go well,
305
00:17:02,580 --> 00:17:04,582
she'll be looking at an indictment
on a bribery charge.
306
00:17:04,665 --> 00:17:07,418
I take the plea and we get to walk away
from this nonsense.
307
00:17:07,501 --> 00:17:09,295
Innocent people don't plead.
308
00:17:09,378 --> 00:17:11,922
We've been through
everything Foerstel has.
309
00:17:12,006 --> 00:17:17,803
It paints a false but damning
circumstantial case of a conspiracy.
310
00:17:17,887 --> 00:17:20,639
The best course is for me
to take the Fifth.
311
00:17:20,723 --> 00:17:22,016
That screams evasion.
312
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:25,186
Per our agreement,
the proceedings are sealed.
313
00:17:25,269 --> 00:17:26,687
We all know how Washington works.
314
00:17:26,770 --> 00:17:29,440
It'll leak
and that will dog my wife's life forever.
315
00:17:29,523 --> 00:17:33,444
Tom, Foerstel is a really smart guy.
I answer his questions,
316
00:17:33,527 --> 00:17:37,740
he twists my words,
he exploits the inevitable ambiguities.
317
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:39,325
There is no perfect solution.
318
00:17:39,408 --> 00:17:42,703
But there's the right one,
which is us fighting, you fighting.
319
00:17:42,786 --> 00:17:44,038
No deal, no plea.
320
00:17:44,121 --> 00:17:47,958
I'm dealing with 20 people
who are ready to die for their beliefs.
321
00:17:48,042 --> 00:17:50,294
Here's what I believe in:
Your innocence.
322
00:17:51,128 --> 00:17:54,924
And that's worth fighting for.
That's where I stand. Excuse me.
323
00:18:04,968 --> 00:18:06,302
Please.
324
00:18:08,847 --> 00:18:11,891
How long have you had these suspicions
about Damian?
325
00:18:11,975 --> 00:18:14,769
Few days. Since I learned
he could've tipped off
326
00:18:14,853 --> 00:18:17,021
the banker who tried
to set up the First Lady.
327
00:18:17,105 --> 00:18:19,858
But you don't think
your intel is conclusive.
328
00:18:19,941 --> 00:18:23,361
It's not. Especially if somebody
tried to clone his phone.
329
00:18:25,113 --> 00:18:28,032
Detective Blakey gave me this video.
330
00:18:28,116 --> 00:18:31,160
It's from the warehouse fire
that you two were in.
331
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:33,288
He got there early, cut the fence.
332
00:18:33,371 --> 00:18:36,541
No. If you check the time stamp,
he got there two hours before you.
333
00:18:36,624 --> 00:18:38,126
He cut the fence and walked through,
334
00:18:38,209 --> 00:18:40,962
which makes him a prime suspect
for the arson.
335
00:18:41,045 --> 00:18:44,924
Two hours before me?
There has to be some explanation.
336
00:18:45,008 --> 00:18:48,094
There is evidence
he is working against us.
337
00:18:48,177 --> 00:18:50,054
Now, you know that.
338
00:18:50,138 --> 00:18:52,515
You come to me and try
to cast doubt on that evidence...
339
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,935
No. Aaron, I did not.
340
00:18:56,978 --> 00:18:59,355
Hannah, I know you two are involved.
341
00:19:01,316 --> 00:19:03,067
As national security advisor,
342
00:19:03,151 --> 00:19:05,528
you don't think I know
what people here are up to?
343
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:07,989
Especially people who report to me?
344
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:14,329
Okay, so what next?
345
00:19:14,412 --> 00:19:17,832
Damian helped us capture and kill Lloyd.
That we know.
346
00:19:17,916 --> 00:19:21,294
What we need to find out is why
he's trying to tank our investigation
347
00:19:21,377 --> 00:19:23,046
into who's framing the First Lady.
348
00:19:23,838 --> 00:19:27,550
But that "we" doesn't include you.
You're sitting this one out.
349
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:30,094
- Let me run a sting.
- No.
350
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:32,305
You think I'm compromised.
351
00:19:32,388 --> 00:19:35,642
I know you're compromised,
which is why he played you.
352
00:19:37,977 --> 00:19:40,647
No one can get closer to him than I can.
353
00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:43,566
And now I have a score to settle.
Let me do this.
354
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:52,867
All right. Under my direction.
And you're on a short leash.
355
00:19:57,121 --> 00:19:59,499
Dr. Rune, thank you so much for coming.
356
00:19:59,582 --> 00:20:01,960
Your political director was insistent.
357
00:20:02,043 --> 00:20:04,587
He knows talent when he sees it.
Please.
358
00:20:05,380 --> 00:20:08,132
You have a remarkable background.
13 patents.
359
00:20:08,216 --> 00:20:10,969
I've been told you did groundbreaking work
360
00:20:11,052 --> 00:20:13,096
in the use of artificial blood
in pediatric surgery.
361
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:14,597
Yes, sir.
362
00:20:14,681 --> 00:20:18,351
Could you perform open-heart surgery
on an infant using your new techniques?
363
00:20:19,686 --> 00:20:22,647
- Theoretically, yes. But I can't.
- Why not?
364
00:20:24,649 --> 00:20:27,443
Every licensing board
has stripped me of my credentials.
365
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:32,156
I lost my license in DC in 2009
after I performed a liver transplant
366
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,285
using technology which had not yet
been approved by the AMA.
367
00:20:36,369 --> 00:20:38,246
The patient survived.
My career did not.
368
00:20:38,329 --> 00:20:39,747
We know that.
369
00:20:39,831 --> 00:20:42,625
And Congress controls
the regulatory authority
370
00:20:42,709 --> 00:20:46,087
over the District of Columbia,
except when it's in recess,
371
00:20:46,170 --> 00:20:48,965
which it is, then it reverts back to me.
372
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:54,887
Based on everything I've read,
I'd be more than happy to reinstate you.
373
00:20:54,971 --> 00:21:00,393
Sir, I believe in my research
and I'm confident in my abilities.
374
00:21:00,476 --> 00:21:01,978
But medicine is like art.
375
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:05,815
The surgery will be very risky.
I can't guarantee an outcome.
376
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:09,110
I'm not asking you to.
I'm asking you to try.
377
00:21:09,861 --> 00:21:12,530
If you don't intervene,
this child will not make it.
378
00:21:14,282 --> 00:21:17,076
- I will do my best, sir.
- Thank you.
379
00:21:17,702 --> 00:21:19,203
The American public
380
00:21:19,287 --> 00:21:22,248
wants to know why the president's
pandering to religion.
381
00:21:22,331 --> 00:21:24,292
He's not.
He's honoring freedom of expression.
382
00:21:24,375 --> 00:21:26,169
By caving to religious extremists?
383
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:28,713
By finding a solution
that respects individual rights,
384
00:21:28,796 --> 00:21:31,257
but protects baby Grace.
It's called being president.
385
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:34,385
What do the firefighters
he's putting in harm's way call it?
386
00:21:35,344 --> 00:21:36,554
Their job.
387
00:21:41,225 --> 00:21:44,145
- What's this?
- My people call it a present.
388
00:21:45,021 --> 00:21:45,980
Open it.
389
00:21:52,737 --> 00:21:53,571
Maui?
390
00:21:53,654 --> 00:21:57,784
I put in for a week with the embassy.
Got us a beach-front room.
391
00:21:57,867 --> 00:21:59,702
But I didn't get you anything.
392
00:21:59,786 --> 00:22:01,829
Well, you still got time.
393
00:22:02,413 --> 00:22:05,166
A good spy is skilled
at the art of deception.
394
00:22:07,835 --> 00:22:10,880
What can I say?
My guard is down around you.
395
00:22:15,134 --> 00:22:16,135
Wow.
396
00:22:17,011 --> 00:22:19,388
Put it on.
You'll class up the joint.
397
00:22:26,437 --> 00:22:30,441
Just don't wear it to Hawaii.
I don't wanna watch the clock.
398
00:22:31,317 --> 00:22:34,779
Speaking of time, have you got an hour
for an afternoon diversion?
399
00:22:34,862 --> 00:22:37,615
Wish I did.
I'm following a lead on our banker.
400
00:22:37,698 --> 00:22:38,574
Yeah?
401
00:22:38,658 --> 00:22:40,785
Yeah. I couldn't sleep last night.
402
00:22:40,868 --> 00:22:42,995
I was up the whole night
working on my laptop.
403
00:22:43,788 --> 00:22:46,666
But if I find anything,
I'll let you know, okay?
404
00:22:52,129 --> 00:22:56,008
Mrs. Morgan, Emily says
you have concerns about the surgery.
405
00:22:56,092 --> 00:22:57,009
Yes, sir.
406
00:22:57,093 --> 00:22:58,302
How can I help?
407
00:22:58,386 --> 00:23:01,013
Tell me this isn't a trick.
408
00:23:01,097 --> 00:23:03,558
I consider myself to be an honest man.
409
00:23:03,641 --> 00:23:06,894
And as a person,
I understand your conflict.
410
00:23:06,978 --> 00:23:09,856
But as a parent, I disagree
with what you've chosen to do.
411
00:23:09,939 --> 00:23:13,192
I don't believe that religious text
is an inflexible doctrine.
412
00:23:13,901 --> 00:23:15,987
I think of it more as a guideline.
413
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:19,073
If you ask me a question,
I will tell you the truth as I know it.
414
00:23:19,156 --> 00:23:21,409
When I give you my word,
I give you my word.
415
00:23:22,952 --> 00:23:23,953
Thank you, sir.
416
00:23:27,582 --> 00:23:30,334
- The doctor will explain everything.
- Okay.
417
00:23:32,211 --> 00:23:35,006
First, wind slows the fire's progress.
Now rain does.
418
00:23:35,089 --> 00:23:37,008
Random atmospheric disturbances.
419
00:23:37,091 --> 00:23:38,718
You're not buying divine intervention?
420
00:23:38,801 --> 00:23:39,969
Couldn't be buying it less.
421
00:23:40,052 --> 00:23:41,846
What part of you is agnostic?
422
00:23:41,929 --> 00:23:43,472
The part that isn't sure
423
00:23:43,556 --> 00:23:46,267
whether this is the most
boring conversation I've ever had.
424
00:23:46,350 --> 00:23:48,352
Awash in holiday cheer, I see.
425
00:23:48,436 --> 00:23:50,897
Let me ask you a question about Ramadan.
426
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:53,733
You got the wrong guy. I was adopted.
My last name's Wright.
427
00:23:53,816 --> 00:23:55,735
Huh. I'm Jewish.
428
00:23:55,818 --> 00:23:58,738
Yeah, Boone is the Americanization
of Baranowsky.
429
00:23:58,821 --> 00:24:01,490
We finally learned something personal
about each other.
430
00:24:01,574 --> 00:24:04,535
- Yeah. Let's never do this again.
- Definitely not.
431
00:24:04,619 --> 00:24:06,579
♪ Silent night ♪
432
00:24:06,662 --> 00:24:09,457
- Sorry, girls. No time right now.
- Aw...
433
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:13,669
- Hello?
- Hey, Damian, it's me.
434
00:24:13,753 --> 00:24:17,089
- I thought you were working.
- If you still wanna meet, I've freed up.
435
00:24:17,173 --> 00:24:19,884
Sorry, I'm at the embassy.
See you for dinner?
436
00:24:19,967 --> 00:24:21,302
Sure, see you then.
437
00:24:22,345 --> 00:24:23,179
He's at the embassy.
438
00:24:23,262 --> 00:24:26,098
British Embassy is
on Massachusetts Avenue.
439
00:24:26,182 --> 00:24:28,935
The tracker in the watch
puts him in Arlington, Virginia.
440
00:24:29,018 --> 00:24:30,144
Where I live.
441
00:24:32,438 --> 00:24:33,272
Okay.
442
00:24:33,356 --> 00:24:36,859
I can access your computer
through Remote Desktop Protocol,
443
00:24:36,943 --> 00:24:38,486
but you'll need to put in your password.
444
00:24:44,533 --> 00:24:45,743
Hannah.
445
00:24:54,377 --> 00:24:56,087
You're toast, mate.
446
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,638
Hey. I just wanted to wish you good luck.
447
00:25:05,722 --> 00:25:09,100
Everyone is gonna
be needing that today.
448
00:25:12,353 --> 00:25:13,521
Whatever you decide to do,
449
00:25:13,604 --> 00:25:17,400
answer Foerstel's questions or not,
I know you'll make the right choice.
450
00:25:18,443 --> 00:25:19,318
Thank you.
451
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:24,574
Alex...
452
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,494
I know these last few days
have been awful.
453
00:25:29,537 --> 00:25:31,622
I'm just so angry
that they're doing this to you.
454
00:25:34,417 --> 00:25:35,918
Whatever happens when you get back,
455
00:25:36,002 --> 00:25:38,588
I'll take tonight off
and try and make it up to you.
456
00:25:41,174 --> 00:25:42,258
Is that a promise?
457
00:25:42,341 --> 00:25:45,011
Yeah, it's a promise.
458
00:25:47,930 --> 00:25:49,348
I'll see you soon.
459
00:26:10,912 --> 00:26:12,330
Chuck, can you run a plate?
460
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,965
I'm afraid we've hit a snag.
461
00:26:23,049 --> 00:26:25,176
The heart-lung machine
that's pumping the artificial blood
462
00:26:25,259 --> 00:26:26,969
is working as hard as it can.
463
00:26:27,053 --> 00:26:28,971
But Grace is hypoxemic.
464
00:26:30,181 --> 00:26:31,516
I don't understand.
465
00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:33,684
Synthetic blood
is not as efficient as the real thing.
466
00:26:33,768 --> 00:26:36,229
Her cells are not getting enough oxygen.
467
00:26:36,312 --> 00:26:39,148
As surgery progresses,
she needs more, not less.
468
00:26:40,399 --> 00:26:41,567
Meaning what?
469
00:26:41,651 --> 00:26:43,236
I can't continue without hemoglobin.
470
00:26:43,945 --> 00:26:47,698
Your daughter needs
a blood transfusion, ma'am. Real stuff.
471
00:26:48,282 --> 00:26:50,409
Your blood type is AB negative.
472
00:26:50,993 --> 00:26:52,411
Same as your daughter's.
473
00:26:52,495 --> 00:26:54,664
Your blood might save her.
474
00:27:03,130 --> 00:27:05,216
- Carrie.
- No.
475
00:27:05,299 --> 00:27:08,803
You gave Grace life.
Why can't you give her your blood?
476
00:27:08,886 --> 00:27:10,888
Because I can't.
477
00:27:10,972 --> 00:27:14,851
You've already agreed to the use
of artificial blood to save her.
478
00:27:14,934 --> 00:27:18,145
You're not gonna agree to use
your own? That doesn't make sense.
479
00:27:18,229 --> 00:27:20,106
- You're trying to trick me.
- No.
480
00:27:20,189 --> 00:27:22,275
All I'm trying to do is save Grace.
481
00:27:22,358 --> 00:27:24,694
And I know that's what you want, too.
482
00:27:51,804 --> 00:27:53,764
Here she comes. Second car!
483
00:27:59,604 --> 00:28:01,814
- Madam First Lady!
- Just two seconds!
484
00:28:01,898 --> 00:28:03,399
How long have you been
under investigation?
485
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:05,151
Has the president known all along?
486
00:28:05,234 --> 00:28:06,903
Is the White House counsel
defending you?
487
00:28:06,986 --> 00:28:08,154
Are you going to plead?
488
00:28:08,237 --> 00:28:09,739
What about Icarus?
Did you take a bribe?
489
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:11,574
Is the president involved?
490
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,371
I don't understand. There must have been
a dozen cameras there.
491
00:28:17,455 --> 00:28:19,165
How did they know?
My testimony is under seal.
492
00:28:19,248 --> 00:28:22,877
But your presence here is not.
Foerstel probably leaked it to the media.
493
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,047
So he's trying to hem me in.
Compel me to answer questions.
494
00:28:26,130 --> 00:28:28,424
All these reporters,
I take the Fifth, it's gonna leak.
495
00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:31,928
It's dirty pool, Mrs. Kirkman.
And you don't want to play.
496
00:28:32,011 --> 00:28:34,013
- I have to.
- No, you don't.
497
00:28:34,096 --> 00:28:37,808
Your appearance here was tied to
a condition that no longer exists.
498
00:28:37,892 --> 00:28:39,101
- What? Secrecy?
- Yes.
499
00:28:39,185 --> 00:28:41,938
Even if we can't connect Foerstel
directly to the leak,
500
00:28:42,021 --> 00:28:45,274
no court is gonna find you
in contempt if we walk away.
501
00:28:45,358 --> 00:28:47,652
Then what happens?
He re-issues the subpoena.
502
00:28:47,735 --> 00:28:49,487
And you and I both know
we'll be back here.
503
00:28:49,570 --> 00:28:51,989
Could be weeks, could be months.
But we will be back.
504
00:28:52,073 --> 00:28:54,992
But Foerstel won't have that element
of surprise. It will be a fair fight.
505
00:28:55,076 --> 00:28:58,704
No. I can't live like this. Not anymore.
506
00:28:58,788 --> 00:29:01,791
One way or another,
this investigation ends today.
507
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:11,167
- You wanna unseal the proceedings?
- Yes.
508
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:15,046
- May I ask why?
- Does it matter?
509
00:29:15,129 --> 00:29:17,757
If you expect a quid pro quo,
it does. There won't be one.
510
00:29:18,341 --> 00:29:19,550
I won't limit the scope of the subpoena
511
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:21,594
because you agree
to make your testimony public.
512
00:29:21,677 --> 00:29:23,929
I'm not asking you
to limit the scope of anything.
513
00:29:24,013 --> 00:29:27,266
The subpoena, the bounds of decency.
Nor your ambition.
514
00:29:29,602 --> 00:29:34,273
- I don't know what you think I did here.
- Oh, we both know what you did.
515
00:29:34,857 --> 00:29:36,942
The question now
is what you're going to do.
516
00:29:42,323 --> 00:29:43,949
Consider the proceedings unsealed.
517
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:47,078
Thank you.
518
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:03,302
How you doing?
519
00:30:04,220 --> 00:30:06,847
There's a line of scripture
I keep repeating.
520
00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:10,851
"I will lift up my hand to the nations."
521
00:30:11,769 --> 00:30:14,313
"And your daughters shall be
carried on their shoulders."
522
00:30:14,397 --> 00:30:17,274
Isaiah. It's about salvation.
523
00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:21,487
I'm interested in the part
about saving daughters.
524
00:30:24,365 --> 00:30:25,783
Are you devout?
525
00:30:25,866 --> 00:30:28,077
No. Nine years of Catholic school.
526
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,372
But I never... I never saw God there.
527
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:34,542
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
528
00:30:35,459 --> 00:30:37,545
I see God in other places.
529
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:40,214
Like in a mother's love.
530
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:45,469
The doctor needs us.
531
00:30:50,558 --> 00:30:54,228
Grace has been through a lot. We had to
repair her pulmonary valve as well.
532
00:30:54,311 --> 00:30:56,647
She's gonna come through it.
533
00:30:56,730 --> 00:30:59,650
- Would you like to see your daughter?
- Yes, please!
534
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:08,993
Get me the president.
535
00:31:11,745 --> 00:31:12,788
Mr. President.
536
00:31:12,872 --> 00:31:16,041
Baby Grace made it through surgery.
And she's well.
537
00:31:16,125 --> 00:31:17,835
And none of her mother's beliefs
were compromised.
538
00:31:19,128 --> 00:31:20,671
Thank you, Mr. President.
539
00:31:20,754 --> 00:31:22,173
I kept my word.
540
00:31:22,256 --> 00:31:23,924
- I need you to keep yours.
- Sir?
541
00:31:24,008 --> 00:31:26,218
I need you to get out of there now.
542
00:31:26,969 --> 00:31:29,221
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
543
00:31:46,614 --> 00:31:50,826
It's been two hours since the
First Lady appeared at FBI Headquarters
544
00:31:50,910 --> 00:31:54,497
in response to a subpoena regarding
the Icarus investigation.
545
00:31:54,580 --> 00:31:57,875
- Mike, gonna need the motorcade.
- Sir?
546
00:31:57,958 --> 00:32:00,169
I want to go to the hospital,
see that little baby.
547
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:03,380
Yes, sir. Merry Christmas, sir.
548
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:05,674
Merry Christmas, Mike.
549
00:32:05,758 --> 00:32:09,553
...First Lady's mother accepted
a bribe in exchange for privileged...
550
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:19,021
We don't want to sing that song.
551
00:32:19,104 --> 00:32:22,733
Why not? I gave you the music.
You can read music, right?
552
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:24,777
Yes, but it's not a holiday song.
553
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:27,696
Look...
554
00:32:29,156 --> 00:32:34,370
No one wants
to listen to you, okay? Nobody.
555
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:37,331
So it's either my song or the door.
556
00:32:39,083 --> 00:32:40,209
What's it gonna be?
557
00:32:42,419 --> 00:32:45,548
And a one, two, three, four.
558
00:32:49,969 --> 00:32:52,721
♪ Looking from a window above
It's like a story... ♪
559
00:32:52,805 --> 00:32:53,681
Stop!
560
00:32:55,224 --> 00:32:58,185
You're coming in a little hot there,
Freckles. Find your level.
561
00:32:58,269 --> 00:32:59,687
And you...
562
00:33:00,854 --> 00:33:04,108
You're pretty good. Keep it up.
563
00:33:04,191 --> 00:33:06,819
And a one, two, three, four.
564
00:33:07,987 --> 00:33:09,738
Thank you for appearing,
Mrs. Kirkman.
565
00:33:09,822 --> 00:33:13,284
You are here in response
to a subpoena issued by my office
566
00:33:13,367 --> 00:33:17,329
in connection with an investigation
into Icarus Astrotech, correct?
567
00:33:17,413 --> 00:33:18,497
That is correct.
568
00:33:18,581 --> 00:33:20,332
You understand there are no restrictions
569
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:22,668
as to the confidentiality
of your testimony,
570
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:24,545
- which will be public record.
- Yes, I do.
571
00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:26,755
Do you wish to invoke
your Fifth Amendment rights?
572
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:28,090
No, I do not.
573
00:33:29,758 --> 00:33:32,761
Good. Well, let's begin.
This is Exhibit A.
574
00:33:32,845 --> 00:33:34,847
Point of procedure, Mr. Director.
575
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:37,850
Mrs. Kirkman would like to read
a statement into the public record.
576
00:33:37,933 --> 00:33:38,934
Not necessary.
577
00:33:39,018 --> 00:33:41,228
She'll have opportunity to speak
in response to my questions.
578
00:33:41,312 --> 00:33:43,814
For the record, you are refusing
the First Lady's request?
579
00:33:49,737 --> 00:33:51,113
Go ahead, Mrs. Kirkman.
580
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:53,032
Thank you.
581
00:33:53,115 --> 00:33:56,452
Based on an investigation
which was spurred by a document
582
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:59,079
uploaded by
the mass murderer Patrick Lloyd,
583
00:33:59,163 --> 00:34:03,167
which pertained to my father's
heart transplant 30 years ago,
584
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:07,963
the FBI has now been investigating me
and my family for almost three months.
585
00:34:08,047 --> 00:34:10,382
To date, that investigation has spawned
586
00:34:10,466 --> 00:34:13,260
numerous document requests
and interrogatories.
587
00:34:13,344 --> 00:34:17,681
A subpoena to my 70-year-old mother,
which was quashed, a subpoena to me.
588
00:34:17,765 --> 00:34:19,183
Excuse me, Mrs. Kirkman,
589
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:23,312
your opinion on this investigation
has no relevance as to its merits.
590
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:26,190
- Can my client continue?
- No. She can answer my questions.
591
00:34:26,273 --> 00:34:28,525
Let the record reflect
that Director Foerstel
592
00:34:28,609 --> 00:34:31,236
refused to let Mrs. Kirkman
finish her statement.
593
00:34:32,321 --> 00:34:34,740
Please finish up, Mrs. Kirkman. Quickly.
594
00:34:34,823 --> 00:34:39,411
That investigation has involved
34 FBI employees
595
00:34:39,495 --> 00:34:41,205
at a cost of $16 million...
596
00:34:41,288 --> 00:34:43,874
- Where did you get this information?
- An FOIA request.
597
00:34:43,957 --> 00:34:46,627
If it's inaccurate,
we'll amend the record.
598
00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:49,380
- Your statement is now concluded.
- Almost, almost.
599
00:34:49,463 --> 00:34:52,675
At the inception of this investigation,
600
00:34:52,758 --> 00:34:56,178
Director Foerstel formed
an exploratory committee for a senate bid.
601
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:57,262
Turn the recorder off.
602
00:34:57,346 --> 00:35:00,474
He also formed
a political action committee.
603
00:35:00,557 --> 00:35:02,434
You heard me. Turn it off!
604
00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:11,360
- Hey.
- Hey.
605
00:35:12,111 --> 00:35:14,071
We got the plates back
from the suspect's car,
606
00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:15,823
the guy who met with Damian.
607
00:35:16,824 --> 00:35:18,742
Why didn't Chuck
just give me this directly?
608
00:35:18,826 --> 00:35:22,121
He thought it best you hear it from me.
He was right.
609
00:35:22,204 --> 00:35:24,998
The car comes back to the Russian embassy.
610
00:35:25,082 --> 00:35:29,086
The driver was Oleg Pushkin.
He's an attaché there. He's also FSB.
611
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,922
And it's not the first time
he's met with Damian.
612
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:34,299
You know where this is going.
613
00:35:34,383 --> 00:35:35,884
Damian is MI6.
614
00:35:35,968 --> 00:35:37,469
Yes. He may have turned.
615
00:35:38,053 --> 00:35:40,681
We never found a connection
between Patrick Lloyd and Russia.
616
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:43,267
Meaning whatever interest
Russia could have
617
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:46,645
in thwarting the Icarus investigation
that Lloyd started is a mystery.
618
00:35:46,729 --> 00:35:49,273
Maybe Russia's taking advantage
of the situation.
619
00:35:49,356 --> 00:35:51,817
Destabilize our government
by making us chase our tail.
620
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:53,902
Or maybe we're missing something.
621
00:35:53,986 --> 00:35:57,740
No, maybe I did.
I'm gonna bring Damian in and find out.
622
00:35:57,823 --> 00:36:03,871
Hannah, if this guy is who we think he is,
he's beyond dangerous.
623
00:36:03,954 --> 00:36:05,372
That may be true, Aaron,
624
00:36:05,456 --> 00:36:07,458
but no one is more dangerous
than I am right now.
625
00:36:07,541 --> 00:36:09,793
This is my mess.
I will clean it up.
626
00:36:09,877 --> 00:36:12,004
All right.
Put your team together.
627
00:36:39,465 --> 00:36:41,842
So what is this big surprise?
628
00:36:43,594 --> 00:36:44,428
That I know.
629
00:36:45,805 --> 00:36:47,056
Know what?
630
00:36:47,723 --> 00:36:52,728
About the warehouse fire.
Alfonso Lang. Oleg Pushkin.
631
00:36:52,812 --> 00:36:54,313
I don't understand.
632
00:36:54,397 --> 00:36:55,898
Yes, you do.
633
00:36:57,566 --> 00:37:02,988
Okay. Let's start from the top.
I saved you from that warehouse fire.
634
00:37:03,072 --> 00:37:04,782
After you set it.
635
00:37:05,908 --> 00:37:10,162
I trusted you. I really trusted you,
and you lied to me about everything.
636
00:37:10,246 --> 00:37:11,539
I didn't lie.
637
00:37:11,622 --> 00:37:12,665
Turn around.
638
00:37:13,541 --> 00:37:17,670
Middle of a bridge. That's smart.
639
00:37:17,753 --> 00:37:21,132
- Nowhere for me to go, right?
- I know where you're going.
640
00:37:21,215 --> 00:37:23,175
- You're gonna be there a long time.
- Hannah.
641
00:37:23,259 --> 00:37:25,302
Turn around
and put your hands on your head.
642
00:37:26,095 --> 00:37:29,432
I need to show you something.
It'll explain everything.
643
00:37:29,515 --> 00:37:32,393
I just need to reach into my pocket, okay?
644
00:37:32,476 --> 00:37:34,854
- You reach for anything, you're dead.
- I have to, Hannah.
645
00:37:35,688 --> 00:37:36,856
Damian.
646
00:38:31,660 --> 00:38:34,788
Hello, Tom Kirkman's voicemail.
647
00:38:35,498 --> 00:38:37,583
This is Tom Kirkman's wife,
648
00:38:37,666 --> 00:38:42,505
who is no longer the subject or target
of a federal investigation.
649
00:38:43,756 --> 00:38:44,965
I beat it.
650
00:38:45,925 --> 00:38:47,176
We beat it.
651
00:38:47,968 --> 00:38:52,431
And the only thing I wanna say to you
is I love you.
652
00:41:52,316 --> 00:41:57,316
