1
00:00:15,473 --> 00:00:16,558
[woman] Found it.
2
00:00:16,641 --> 00:00:18,160
Looks like y'all are ready for Halloween.
3
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:20,854
Oh, it is my favorite. [chuckles]
4
00:00:21,604 --> 00:00:25,442
I use dry ice to make the house
extra spooky for the young 'uns.
5
00:00:26,025 --> 00:00:28,611
- Not from around here, are you?
- What was my tell?
6
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:31,573
- Well, that accent, for one. [chuckles]
- Guilty.
7
00:00:31,656 --> 00:00:34,451
- What brings you to Pikeville?
- Oh, I'm just passing through.
8
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,829
Funny how a town
I've spent my entire life in
9
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:39,998
is just a rest stop for most.
10
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:42,167
Have a nice day, now.
11
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:44,002
Thank you.
12
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:03,104
[Tom] Hannah Wells...
13
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:08,568
saved this country and my own life
14
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:12,530
more times than should ever
have been necessary.
15
00:01:14,115 --> 00:01:17,243
And given everything that I owed her,
I have to be honest.
16
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:22,332
Personally, I can't tell you
that I knew her very well.
17
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:25,752
I always figured...
18
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:29,464
there would be time for that.
19
00:01:30,882 --> 00:01:34,260
But as I stand here today,
I can tell you what I do know.
20
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:38,515
She served this country
with a kind of passion and commitment
21
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:40,767
that is unparalleled in my eyes.
22
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:45,522
The kind of commitment that led her
to make the ultimate sacrifice.
23
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,068
She will be missed...
24
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:55,949
by me, her friends and her family.
25
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:04,707
Ave atque vale, Agent Wells.
26
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,127
I salute you.
27
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:09,462
[sighs]
28
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:15,093
I am so sorry for your loss.
29
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:22,809
Sir.
30
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,688
Deputy Director Lewis,
31
00:02:26,771 --> 00:02:29,899
I understand that POTUS put you in charge
of the Momberg investigation.
32
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:33,987
I'm heading up a fusion center
coordinating a dozen warring agencies.
33
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:35,947
No one else wanted the job.
34
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:39,576
I want you to meet that bioweapons expert
I told you about, Dr. Mays.
35
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:41,870
OPM set him up
with a temporary appointment.
36
00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,038
Our people out of Quantico
deal with germ warfare.
37
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:46,291
Actually, it's bioterrorism, sir.
38
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,835
Nothing like warfare.
Nothing like anyone's dealt with before.
39
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:49,918
All right, talk to me.
40
00:02:49,961 --> 00:02:53,631
Wouter Momberg,
a South African apartheid-era scientist,
41
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,050
is taking advantage of breakthroughs
in gene editing
42
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,014
to accomplish
what he couldn't back in the '80s.
43
00:02:58,094 --> 00:03:01,556
He's CRISPR'ed together a virus targeting
people with dark-skin pigmentation:
44
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,016
blacks, Arabs, Latinos.
45
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:05,739
We sent his picture to every
law enforcement agency in the country.
46
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:08,313
And I've put out feelers
to do-it-yourself labs across the US.
47
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:11,316
So we're looking for a mad scientist
with genocidal intent.
48
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:12,901
We have no idea where he is.
49
00:03:12,984 --> 00:03:14,402
I checked Genetical's records,
50
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:18,031
the company that supplied Momberg
with the DNA he was using. It turns out...
51
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:20,885
[Aaron] There was an attempted delivery
of genetic material to the brewery
52
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:21,927
the day after it burned down.
53
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:23,202
How does that help us?
54
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,331
This morning, another company
delivered the same genetic sequence
55
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,333
to a post office in Pikeville, Tennessee.
56
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,960
- Did we pick up his trail?
- It took too long to mobilize.
57
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,212
The Tennessee Highway Patrol
had a bad reaction
58
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:34,565
to the feds telling them what to do.
59
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:36,883
And the turf wars begin. God damn it.
60
00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:40,470
- This genetic sequence, what does it do?
- It's hard to know without more context.
61
00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:41,930
Get me some context now.
62
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:45,308
The fact that he's willing to risk
getting caught by picking up a package
63
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:47,268
suggests that he is not going underground.
64
00:03:47,352 --> 00:03:50,021
Which means we have to be prepared
for the possibility
65
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:52,607
of a very real, very imminent
bioterrorist attack.
66
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:55,068
- What's the playbook for this?
- We're writing it.
67
00:03:55,151 --> 00:03:58,821
We do have contingency plans in place
for conventional bio attacks,
68
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:02,325
but the threat of rogue biologists
creating incurable designer diseases...
69
00:04:02,408 --> 00:04:04,178
Is something
we've never had to deal with before.
70
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:06,202
- The technology didn't exist.
- [Aaron] Until now.
71
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,473
For a couple of thousand bucks,
72
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:11,376
an amateur scientist can produce a plague
that could wipe out all of humanity.
73
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:14,254
Except this son of a bitch
isn't going after all of humanity.
74
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:16,339
Just the swarthier set.
Who do we need to tell?
75
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,591
- The fewer the better.
- [Tom] Not necessarily.
76
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,095
This threat is gonna require
massive interagency cooperation.
77
00:04:22,178 --> 00:04:25,390
I've relieved Dianne Lewis
of her responsibilities at the CIA
78
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:27,868
so she can help us coordinate a response
from the Situation Room.
79
00:04:27,892 --> 00:04:28,893
Should we tell the press?
80
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:32,105
We don't know what Momberg's gonna do,
and he doesn't know what we know.
81
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:33,815
We can't have them broadcasting that.
82
00:04:33,898 --> 00:04:36,734
I'll have Lorraine cancel
all the campaign obligations.
83
00:04:36,818 --> 00:04:39,821
No, I think we need to proceed
as if everything is normal.
84
00:04:39,904 --> 00:04:42,782
I have my major TV endorsement
from the unions later today.
85
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:44,909
If I don't attend that, that'll be noted.
86
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,703
That's all for now. Thank you, everyone.
87
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:49,162
Aaron.
88
00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:52,041
[sighs]
89
00:04:53,751 --> 00:04:56,754
- Are we gonna catch this guy?
- Sooner or later.
90
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:58,506
But in time to stop him?
91
00:04:58,589 --> 00:05:02,010
And I thought averting
last week's nuclear threat was a triumph.
92
00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:05,054
Makes me long for the days
of mutually assured destruction.
93
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:07,473
At least then we knew
who our enemies were.
94
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,642
Now anyone
with a little bit of scientific knowledge
95
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:10,893
can unleash Armageddon.
96
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,687
It's hard not to be afraid, sir.
97
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:17,025
You'd be a fool not to be. Thank you.
98
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:18,608
Sir.
99
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,867
[theme music playing]
100
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,881
Ten days before the election, I'm busier
than a whorehouse on nickel night.
101
00:05:39,964 --> 00:05:41,007
This better be good.
102
00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:43,235
- Got a heads-up from a reporter.
- [Lorraine] Mmm-hmm.
103
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:47,305
There's gonna be a story tonight
that implicates Moss.
104
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:49,682
Okay, and?
105
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:52,727
When Garrett Detwiler
was Moss' FDA commissioner,
106
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,481
he rubber-stamped the approval
of FlagKind's prescription painkiller.
107
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:57,482
So what?
108
00:05:57,565 --> 00:06:01,069
FlagKind and the FDA knew
how addictive it was,
109
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:02,862
and they pushed it through anyway.
110
00:06:02,945 --> 00:06:05,031
- Where did you get this?
- Does it matter?
111
00:06:05,114 --> 00:06:07,617
You don't usually color
outside the lines, Mars.
112
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,287
But when you do, God damn it,
[whispers] it's sort of arousing.
113
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:12,497
Fuckers had it coming.
114
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:16,751
Did Moss know about the FDA
pushing the opioid through?
115
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:17,710
Who cares?
116
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,254
If it happens under your administration,
it's your problem.
117
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:23,800
You should care, because you took
the president to Detwiler's fundraiser
118
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,593
and encouraged him to take dark money.
119
00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:27,196
Or have we forgotten that tiny detail?
120
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:30,598
No, that money was used to pay
striking teachers' salaries.
121
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:33,726
The Moss administration uncorked
the opioid epidemic.
122
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:37,021
He is as good as guilty,
so I need these new ads to just...
123
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,982
[grunts] grab him
by the nut sack and twist.
124
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,275
Not a visual I needed.
125
00:06:41,359 --> 00:06:45,196
And I want them running everywhere
right up until the polls close,
126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,656
online and on television,
127
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:50,326
especially in the Rust Belt,
where opioid addiction is just rampant.
128
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:52,620
We gotta turn
some of these red states gold.
129
00:06:52,703 --> 00:06:53,972
I'll assign it to Dontae and his team.
130
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:56,374
Meanwhile, the latest data from the GOTV
131
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:59,001
says that West Virginia
is definitely still going to Moss.
132
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:02,505
Yeah, but now we've got a chance
at Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.
133
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:05,174
I think there's a real chance
that we flip New York.
134
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:06,759
We got a home-court advantage.
135
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:09,887
Okay, but we really need Florida
if we even want a chance.
136
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:12,449
[Lorraine] Fasten your seat belts.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.
137
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:14,308
I can't imagine it gets any crazier.
138
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:16,644
[Lorraine] Emily, I've been wondering...
139
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:19,272
You ever think
about what you're gonna do next?
140
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:20,398
After November 5th?
141
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:24,152
Take care of my mom, sleep.
Travel, maybe. Who knows?
142
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:26,779
I'll be sipping a Miami Vice
on a Caribbean island.
143
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:28,239
Sounds lovely.
144
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:29,907
If we can pull off this win,
145
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,161
maybe I should take
a cushy corporate consulting gig,
146
00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:35,455
leave my career in politics on top.
147
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:37,039
I don't buy that for a second.
148
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:40,042
- You get off on this.
- Yeah, you're right. I do.
149
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,753
Winning, it's everything. It's my life.
150
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,673
I think you get off on it, too.
151
00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:47,800
Have you ever considered
staying in the game?
152
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:51,596
An interesting special senatorial election
is coming up in Virginia.
153
00:07:52,221 --> 00:07:53,389
You should think about it.
154
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:58,144
Sixteen intelligence agencies.
How do we get them all on the same page?
155
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,481
Secretary Wolenick from Homeland
will coordinate the FBI response.
156
00:08:01,564 --> 00:08:02,982
Good, they're not happy with me.
157
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:05,902
The director of National Intelligence
doesn't want ownership.
158
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:08,321
It's too politically charged
this close to the election.
159
00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:10,257
- You'll wrangle the Security Council.
- [Aaron] Done.
160
00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:12,909
What about the Office of Terrorism
and Financial Intelligence?
161
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:14,872
An operation like this
would need major funding.
162
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,972
I'll communicate with Treasury,
work on the money flow.
163
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,539
I need you to brief the gang of eight.
164
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:19,975
I don't know if that's a good idea.
165
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,143
We have a responsibility here.
166
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:23,353
I don't want Congress
hearing about this after the fact.
167
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:25,046
- I need you to do it.
- Yes, sir.
168
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:28,883
Anybody gives you any resistance,
send them to me. Let's get moving.
169
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:31,636
[Emily] We need people
currently suffering from opioid addiction
170
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:33,387
and those in recovery.
171
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,431
All ages, races and economic classes.
172
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:37,892
This is all a little crass, no?
173
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,687
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.
174
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:45,691
Oh, Lorraine asked me
what my plans for the future are.
175
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:46,692
So?
176
00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:49,046
Between taking care of my mom
and working on the campaign,
177
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:51,822
I haven't even thought
about what comes next.
178
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:55,117
Which is insane, because two years ago,
all I thought about was the future.
179
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:58,412
I'll either be back at the EEOB
dreaming about hashtags,
180
00:08:58,496 --> 00:09:00,540
or at the unemployment line.
181
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:02,458
That's not true. The president likes you,
182
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:04,603
and he's seen how instrumental
you've been to the campaign.
183
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:05,795
He'll take care of you.
184
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:07,046
[chuckles]
185
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,799
How's everything else?
I haven't heard much about Troy lately.
186
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:10,883
Fire still burning?
187
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:14,220
Things are complicated.
188
00:09:14,303 --> 00:09:16,430
Welcome to my world.
All the good ones are.
189
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,554
- [phone ringing]
- I need those right away, please.
190
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:20,517
[phone beeps]
191
00:09:22,853 --> 00:09:24,438
[door opens]
192
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:26,148
[liquids gurgling]
193
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:28,568
Oh. Uh, hi.
194
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,571
Hello, miss. Beautiful morning, isn't it?
195
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:36,534
Sorry, uh, I'm just used to having
the place to myself this early.
196
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:37,827
[typing]
197
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:40,705
- You at Ole Miss?
- Visiting researcher from Rochester.
198
00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:42,540
I didn't know
we had an exchange with them.
199
00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:43,791
I'm the first.
200
00:09:44,458 --> 00:09:46,252
- Really?
- Yeah.
201
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,714
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
202
00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:50,797
[continues typing]
203
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:54,969
My desk is over there,
so, uh, I'm gonna go.
204
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:57,096
Okay. Yeah.
205
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:19,910
So the problem we're having
making an accurate risk assessment
206
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,054
is identifying his targets.
207
00:10:21,078 --> 00:10:23,164
Sir, we've gamed out these scenarios.
208
00:10:23,247 --> 00:10:25,791
If we get a clearer idea
of what the virus is,
209
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:27,877
we can distribute treatment
through postal workers.
210
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,754
We'd have to develop a treatment first.
211
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:32,298
What's the plan to evacuate people
from infected areas?
212
00:10:32,381 --> 00:10:33,799
There is no plan, sir.
213
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:36,135
[scoffs] Shouldn't that be
our first priority?
214
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,721
In the case of a nuclear
or chemical attack, yes.
215
00:10:38,804 --> 00:10:41,223
But when a disease
is introduced into the population,
216
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:44,143
the infected become
a vector of transmission.
217
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:48,105
They're weaponized,
and we'll have to quarantine them.
218
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:51,359
So you're saying if this disease hits,
one that targets people of color,
219
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,194
I'll be condemning the infected to death?
220
00:10:53,277 --> 00:10:54,277
Yeah.
221
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,578
What is that? Is that algae?
222
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:05,706
Good eyes.
223
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:08,834
OMG, I wish I understood genetics.
224
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:12,922
I just don't have the head for it.
I'm a chem girl all the way.
225
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,256
[chuckling] Okay.
226
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,593
I'm gonna grab a coffee. Do you want one?
227
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:18,969
Oh, no, thank you.
228
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:20,929
Okay.
229
00:11:36,237 --> 00:11:37,238
[line rings]
230
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:39,740
- You have reached the voice-mail box of...
- Come on.
231
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:40,824
[Eli] Eli Mays.
232
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:44,995
Eli, that guy you posted about is here.
He's doing biosynth.
233
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:48,457
From what I could tell, something to do
with a segment of norovirus.
234
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:50,584
And you know my thesis.
235
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:52,670
I... I...
236
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:56,340
Wait, I think he might have left.
But you can track him...
237
00:11:57,007 --> 00:11:59,593
Hey! Get off me.
238
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:02,096
[grunting]
239
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:05,826
[Tom] The FBI playing nice
with Homeland Security?
240
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:09,145
Barely. I'm directing the NSA
to sift through highway cam footage.
241
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,668
[man] Dr. Mays has some information.
242
00:12:12,606 --> 00:12:14,942
We have a lead.
Our DIY guy just got a call
243
00:12:15,025 --> 00:12:18,446
placing Momberg at a lab in Oxford,
Mississippi, near the university.
244
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,198
This DIY scientist with all the intel,
why the hell isn't he here?
245
00:12:21,282 --> 00:12:23,635
- There was a question of clearance, sir.
- [Tom] I don't give a shit.
246
00:12:23,659 --> 00:12:25,411
Get him in here now.
247
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:29,874
You can't expect Congress to keep quiet
about a threat like this, Mars.
248
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:33,794
With all due respect, Speaker,
Title 50 requires that you do just that.
249
00:12:33,878 --> 00:12:36,589
This is a stunt to postpone the election.
250
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:38,966
I assure you, Senator,
this is no such thing.
251
00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:43,262
POTUS wanted to inform you, so that you,
as congressional leadership,
252
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:47,141
can coordinate a calm, measured response
when the time comes.
253
00:12:47,224 --> 00:12:49,393
What is the calm, measured response
for bioterrorism?
254
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:52,146
- Anything but this.
- So what are we telling the public?
255
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:53,481
We say nothing for now.
256
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:55,399
All information flows
from the White House.
257
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:57,568
I have a duty to inform my caucus.
258
00:12:57,651 --> 00:12:58,694
[Mars] This gets out,
259
00:12:58,777 --> 00:13:02,740
people are gonna start panicking
every time someone coughs at a Starbucks.
260
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:04,408
We say nothing.
261
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:06,535
I have an election in ten days.
262
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:09,747
If the press found out I knew
and didn't say anything...
263
00:13:09,830 --> 00:13:12,666
You go public with this,
then I go public with the fact
264
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:16,170
that your first thought
in the face of a terrorist threat
265
00:13:16,253 --> 00:13:19,882
was your reelection,
not the safety of your constituents.
266
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:21,759
You leak, I plug you.
267
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:26,514
- Mr. President, Dr. Eli Mays.
- Dr. Mays, what have you got for us?
268
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:29,517
A colleague out of Mississippi
said she saw Momberg at her lab.
269
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,353
- He was doing something with norovirus.
- Why norovirus?
270
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:35,147
He needs to infect as many people
as quickly as possible.
271
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:37,566
Airborne delivery doesn't reach
enough people fast enough,
272
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,485
but norovirus can survive in water.
273
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:40,921
[Dianne] The only reason for him to use it
274
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,239
would be to hit
an entire population center at once.
275
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,908
What provisions do we have in place
if he attacks a water supply?
276
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:47,671
We could trigger an asset protection plan.
277
00:13:47,701 --> 00:13:50,829
Reach out to the National Guard
to protect reservoirs, treatment plants,
278
00:13:50,913 --> 00:13:53,793
coordinate with first responders
on the ground to check for contaminants.
279
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:55,960
One call, we could mobilize
by the end of day.
280
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:57,169
Show me.
281
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,967
Any of those reservoirs
could be his target.
282
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:06,345
Or none of them. What routes
could he have taken from the brewery?
283
00:14:06,428 --> 00:14:08,556
To Pikeville to Oxford, Mississippi.
284
00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:16,605
What's your call, Mr. President?
285
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:24,989
It's about time.
Do you have anything for me?
286
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,407
[door closes]
287
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,451
Good afternoon. I'm doing great.
Thanks for asking.
288
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:32,371
Okay, there's no time
for pleasantries, Myles.
289
00:14:32,454 --> 00:14:34,915
Is there anything about FlagKind?
290
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,335
Well, after I spent hours
scrubbing through recordings
291
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:42,631
from Moss' computer and cell phone,
I found it, yes.
292
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:47,386
[Phil] Cornelius, we can spin this.
293
00:14:47,469 --> 00:14:49,948
I'm sure the FDA under Kirkman
has some skeletons of their own.
294
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,692
- We just have to dig them up.
- [chuckling]
295
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:53,141
Yeah.
296
00:14:54,184 --> 00:14:56,520
He wants to infect
as many people as possible.
297
00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:59,982
If we move to protect Mississippi
and we're wrong,
298
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,817
our mobilization will tip him off.
299
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,378
He'll just move somewhere else and strike.
300
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:04,862
But he is in Mississippi now,
301
00:15:04,945 --> 00:15:07,031
a state that's nearly
40% African-American.
302
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:09,491
I don't think it's his final destination.
303
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,785
Nashville, Memphis, they're too small.
304
00:15:11,869 --> 00:15:15,205
That leaves New Orleans,
Houston, possibly Dallas.
305
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,166
Mr. President, every minute we wait
306
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:19,043
raises the chances
there'll be a death toll.
307
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:26,175
I want the FBI monitoring assets
here, here and here.
308
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,762
Get your first responders to every
major water source along that route.
309
00:15:29,845 --> 00:15:31,823
- Have them start testing for contaminants.
- On it.
310
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:34,183
How do we get fresh water to people
if they need it?
311
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:36,727
Isabel's office specializes
in clean water initiatives.
312
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:37,853
Tell her we need help.
313
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,856
Sir, now that we know
there could be something in the water,
314
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,000
should we alert the public?
315
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:45,444
No, I don't want to create mass hysteria.
Not when we're this close to finding him.
316
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:47,154
I know the chance I'm taking.
317
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:50,908
[police siren blaring]
318
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:55,245
[Lorraine] There you are.
I was getting worried.
319
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:58,958
AFL-CIO has been waiting for 20 minutes.
Are you ready?
320
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:00,626
As ready as I'll ever be.
321
00:16:00,709 --> 00:16:04,630
Oh, brother. Get your head in the game, K.
Ten days until the election.
322
00:16:04,713 --> 00:16:07,424
We need labor
to get their members to turn out,
323
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,843
which means wooing them with this speech.
324
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:11,553
[Tom] Got it. Ready to woo.
325
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,056
[Lorraine] Good,
there's a lot riding on this.
326
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:16,642
Also, there's an article
coming out tonight
327
00:16:16,725 --> 00:16:21,689
about an unethical FDA opioid approval,
and it implicates Moss.
328
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:23,023
Any risk for us?
329
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,275
Oh, no, on the contrary,
330
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:28,612
I think this is gonna give us
a really big boost in the polls.
331
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:30,614
[Tom] Okay, good. Keep me informed.
332
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:35,077
You know what?
Your excitement is just blowing my mind.
333
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,480
[announcer] Ladies and gentleman,
334
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:39,039
the president
of the United States of America.
335
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,582
[crowd cheering]
336
00:16:42,584 --> 00:16:43,794
[exhales heavily]
337
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,005
Let's get this over with.
338
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:50,676
[crowd continues cheering]
339
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:53,053
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's a pleasure to be here.
340
00:16:54,638 --> 00:16:55,764
[knock on door]
341
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,602
If you're here to beg for my forgiveness,
save it.
342
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:03,272
- I'm here on official NSC business.
- Of course you are.
343
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:07,484
I'm confused.
Do you want me to be here to beg?
344
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:08,736
What do you need, Aaron?
345
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:14,241
If drinking water were to be contaminated,
say with some kind of virus,
346
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:17,119
what additional resources
would you have available?
347
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:19,705
- We could give out LifeStraws.
- LifeStraws?
348
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:24,001
Yeah, they filter out bacteria,
parasites and some viruses from water.
349
00:17:24,084 --> 00:17:26,211
We used them in the Congo
during the Ebola outbreak.
350
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,355
And you can get these quickly?
351
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:29,149
We could get about 10,000
with one phone call.
352
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:30,173
How many would you need?
353
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:32,217
Ten million.
354
00:17:33,969 --> 00:17:36,221
- You're shitting me.
- No.
355
00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:39,058
- What the fuck is going on, Aaron?
- I can't discuss it.
356
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:48,734
Is that it?
357
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:51,611
Okay.
358
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,202
- Where are you staying?
- None of your business.
359
00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:00,370
So that's it?
You're just gonna pack up and leave?
360
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:02,254
We're not even gonna try
to work through this?
361
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:04,917
I will work on finding
ten million LifeStraws.
362
00:18:05,626 --> 00:18:07,044
You can shut the door behind you.
363
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,094
[door closes]
364
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:21,225
The lab in Mississippi turned up
nothing but a dead body.
365
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,478
- No joy from the highway cams in the area.
- He's smarter than that.
366
00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:27,231
The press is hounding me.
They've picked up chatter from DIY...
367
00:18:27,314 --> 00:18:29,483
Seth, not right now.
Please, just handle it.
368
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:33,529
I'm sorry about your friend.
369
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,698
I knew her from conferences.
370
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:41,161
She worked in nanorobotics,
371
00:18:41,745 --> 00:18:45,916
these crazy little machines
small enough to enter a cell.
372
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:48,836
Her thesis.
373
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:51,755
We can track him.
374
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:55,676
My friend did her thesis at MIT
on smart dust,
375
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:59,847
tiny nanites that can be tracked
via radio-frequency identification.
376
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:01,974
I think she managed
to plant some on Momberg.
377
00:19:02,057 --> 00:19:03,183
Why do you think that?
378
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:05,769
Her voice mail.
She said we could track him.
379
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:07,253
I'll have our people check the lab.
380
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:12,067
If she managed to put smart dust
on Momberg, we could set up trackers,
381
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:16,905
tap into existing RFID devices,
antitheft sensors, toll booths.
382
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,032
The radius would be limited,
but it's something.
383
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:20,885
- What would it take?
- [Dianne] We have agents in the field,
384
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:22,762
but we're talking
hundreds of thousands of trackers.
385
00:19:22,786 --> 00:19:25,706
If we were to focus all of our energy
on New Orleans, Houston and Dallas,
386
00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:27,416
would we have the resources to do this?
387
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,668
If that's where he's heading.
And that's a big "if."
388
00:19:29,751 --> 00:19:32,421
- Would we have the resources?
- Yes, sir.
389
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:34,339
Then, do it.
390
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,553
[sighs]
391
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:46,059
What the hell am I doing here?
392
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:47,686
The best you can, sir.
393
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:49,980
[sighs] I was walking backstage
at that union event
394
00:19:50,063 --> 00:19:53,525
and Lorraine was going on about some
opioid article that she was thrilled with,
395
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,944
and all I could think about
was this madman
396
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,363
running around staging a genetic genocide.
397
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,533
We've come a long way
from pressure-cooker bombs in backpacks.
398
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:04,661
I'm just pretending like I know
what I'm doing.
399
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:06,955
The truth is, I don't have a clue.
400
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,293
Choosing not to notify the public,
not to engage law enforcement...
401
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:15,380
I am guessing here.
And what if the smart dust doesn't work?
402
00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:17,257
This guy could strike anytime, anywhere.
403
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:20,427
You're concerned about making
the wrong decisions.
404
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:23,096
Any leader worth a damn would be.
405
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,015
This is more than being concerned.
406
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:30,270
If I'm wrong, I'm gonna have
the blood of thousands on my hands.
407
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,898
There's nothing more we can do here.
408
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:41,240
In the meantime, you need to get some rest
while you still have the opportunity.
409
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,753
My four-year-old and I
came home from church,
410
00:20:55,712 --> 00:20:59,258
and my husband was dead in the bathroom
of a heroin overdose.
411
00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:00,384
[Troy] You working late?
412
00:21:04,012 --> 00:21:06,223
If your plan is to pretend
like nothing happened,
413
00:21:06,306 --> 00:21:07,474
you need a better plan.
414
00:21:16,024 --> 00:21:17,484
[Troy] Look, I don't have a plan.
415
00:21:18,568 --> 00:21:20,779
I'm sorry for how I treated you.
416
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,074
Okay.
417
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:28,328
You know, after you told me,
I ran to get tested.
418
00:21:29,329 --> 00:21:30,914
I was freaking out.
419
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:35,335
And my very gruff and very gay doctor
420
00:21:36,044 --> 00:21:38,755
told me there was no chance
that I was infected.
421
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:44,761
There was no reason for me
to react like I did.
422
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:45,721
I told you that.
423
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:48,974
I understand all that,
but I'm still afraid.
424
00:21:50,767 --> 00:21:55,564
And I'm still upset that you didn't
trust me enough to be upfront.
425
00:21:55,647 --> 00:21:57,691
But you could've brought it up.
426
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:00,110
You're right.
427
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,779
That's on me.
428
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,490
Look, I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
429
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:08,994
When I think about everything
you have to go through,
430
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:13,665
how people treat you, how I treated you,
431
00:22:13,749 --> 00:22:16,293
why did I think
that you owed me an explanation?
432
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:18,128
I get it, though.
433
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:24,426
You think I'm not scared,
having a disease that's killed millions?
434
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:27,471
You are gonna lead a long and happy life.
435
00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:29,639
No, you don't know that.
436
00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:34,394
I told you that first night...
437
00:22:36,229 --> 00:22:38,106
I'm not done kissing you yet.
438
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:41,526
And my doctor...
439
00:22:42,819 --> 00:22:46,281
gave me a prescription for PrEP.
440
00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:49,493
So what? You want, like, a gold star?
441
00:22:50,285 --> 00:22:52,621
Maybe just a second chance.
442
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:00,921
You know,
443
00:23:02,464 --> 00:23:06,843
you never did get to try
my mama's hot-water cornbread.
444
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:09,096
You baked for me?
445
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:12,474
- You fry it, city mouse, in a skillet.
- [chuckles]
446
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:13,557
[chuckles]
447
00:23:33,161 --> 00:23:35,330
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
448
00:23:37,332 --> 00:23:42,754
But I know I don't want
to waste my time being afraid.
449
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:55,559
How you doing, Mom?
450
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:58,895
How do you think I'm feeling?
I'm waiting for the Grim Reaper.
451
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:00,355
Don't say that.
452
00:24:00,438 --> 00:24:04,860
Okay. I'm waiting to walk
into a great beam of light
453
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:07,237
at the Pearly Gates. Better?
454
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,073
Are you hungry?
Can I make you something to eat?
455
00:24:10,157 --> 00:24:12,576
- No.
- You have to keep your strength up.
456
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:17,414
Emily, I'm dying.
Don't be so stubborn about this.
457
00:24:17,497 --> 00:24:19,708
I am trying, Mom, but it is...
458
00:24:20,584 --> 00:24:22,085
It's not easy. And I...
459
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:26,381
I just... [sighs]
I keep thinking that...
460
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,885
You know, what if I'd gone
to the NIH sooner?
461
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:33,805
[voice breaking] Or what if I didn't
come back and work on the campaign?
462
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:37,017
- Things would be different. You would...
- Just stop.
463
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:38,768
[crying]
464
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,772
None of this is your fault.
465
00:24:43,732 --> 00:24:46,568
There isn't anything
you could've done to prevent it.
466
00:24:47,736 --> 00:24:49,988
And I need you to support me on this.
467
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:55,160
And I need to know you're gonna be okay,
that you'll survive when I'm gone.
468
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:59,331
[voice breaking] You have to promise
you will hold my hand...
469
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,667
and you will let me go.
470
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:04,794
[crying]
471
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:10,050
I promise. [sniffles]
472
00:25:13,094 --> 00:25:15,096
[reporter on TV] Was this
a dirty campaign trick
473
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,932
- from President Kirkman's camp?
- No.
474
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,058
It's no coincidence
475
00:25:18,141 --> 00:25:21,770
this years-old information came out
just ten days before the election.
476
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:22,997
[reporter] It's alarming, nonetheless.
477
00:25:23,021 --> 00:25:25,899
We all believed former President Moss
to be a steady hand.
478
00:25:25,982 --> 00:25:29,110
Either he turned a blind eye
to this opioid approval
479
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,695
or fell asleep at the wheel.
480
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,572
Neither sounds presidential to me.
481
00:25:32,656 --> 00:25:34,658
That is so fucking true.
482
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,619
[exhales] And...
483
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:43,250
another marriage down the drain.
484
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,257
[sighs]
485
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:53,218
That stellar of a day?
486
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:55,428
You can't even imagine.
487
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:58,265
Can you talk about it?
488
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:02,394
Or is it one of those "I can't discuss
White House business" things?
489
00:26:02,477 --> 00:26:03,687
[sighs]
490
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:07,691
There's a huge threat
to national security.
491
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:10,318
A lot of people could get hurt.
492
00:26:11,194 --> 00:26:16,032
I haven't a clue as to what to advise
the president to do about it.
493
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:19,452
I'm scared out of my mind.
494
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,914
Well, if there's one thing
I know about you,
495
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:24,791
it's that you always come through.
496
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:28,086
It's one of the reasons
I fell in love with you.
497
00:26:28,169 --> 00:26:29,629
This will be no different.
498
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:33,591
I'm glad you're home.
499
00:26:38,805 --> 00:26:40,724
It was you, wasn't it?
500
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:45,270
The high-ranking government official
who leaked to the press.
501
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:53,445
I almost lost you, Lynn.
I had to do something about it.
502
00:26:54,154 --> 00:26:55,947
So you risked your job?
503
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,199
It was the right thing to do.
504
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,081
Besides, you know how easy it is
to leak from within the swamp.
505
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:11,421
Thank you, for doing this,
for letting me in.
506
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:13,006
It's a nice change.
507
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:17,218
And it's kind of a turn-on.
508
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:24,392
[computer chiming]
509
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:30,982
Dr. Mays. Saw your Bat-Signal.
510
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:32,906
I got some info
on this big bad you're hunting.
511
00:27:38,656 --> 00:27:39,656
[speaking Spanish]
512
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:17,904
- [Sasha] Hi.
- Hey.
513
00:28:17,987 --> 00:28:19,072
Rough day?
514
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:24,994
Worst kind, where every decision you make
could lead to an incredible disaster.
515
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:27,622
Isn't that every day for the president?
516
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:31,000
Not all disasters are created equal.
517
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:33,244
You wouldn't know it
from how people in this town react
518
00:28:33,294 --> 00:28:35,130
when someone wears a tan suit.
519
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:36,297
[Tom chuckles]
520
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,054
For me, the worst thing
about being president...
521
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:47,976
It doesn't matter how many
great advisors you have around you.
522
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,269
At the end of the day...
523
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:51,855
[sighs] it's down to you.
524
00:28:53,273 --> 00:28:55,442
And when you're done, you come back here,
525
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:58,778
to this place
that's supposed to be a home.
526
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:02,782
And I still...
527
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:07,412
You still expect
to find Alex waiting for you.
528
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:13,042
Every goddamn day.
And all I get is this empty room.
529
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,631
That emptiness never goes away.
I feel it, too.
530
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:23,595
I know I'm not my sister.
531
00:29:24,637 --> 00:29:27,056
God knows I don't have her patience.
532
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,560
Or her ability to pull off
a pantsuit. [chuckles]
533
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:32,270
[chuckles]
534
00:29:33,354 --> 00:29:35,190
But I'm here for you, Tom.
535
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:40,278
Thank you, Sasha. I mean it, thank you.
536
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:46,993
Okay, good night.
537
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:57,003
Hello? Anyone in there?
538
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:00,131
[Seth] What are you doing?
539
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:02,541
[Isabel] I'm trying to get in.
540
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:05,178
I think it's safe to say
there's nobody in there.
541
00:30:05,261 --> 00:30:06,638
Nice stilettos, by the way.
542
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:09,307
Shut up. They're pumps.
543
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:11,590
And I didn't think anyone else
would be here this early.
544
00:30:12,143 --> 00:30:16,773
The GSA is usually here by now.
I cannot be reduced to taking a ho bath.
545
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:17,856
"A ho bath"?
546
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:22,153
You stay in the West Wing
with Aaron last night?
547
00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:27,116
You guys got into a fight.
548
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:30,161
We broke up.
549
00:30:30,745 --> 00:30:33,832
Oh, shit. What did he do?
550
00:30:33,915 --> 00:30:35,542
I don't wanna get into it.
551
00:30:36,417 --> 00:30:40,255
I moved out, and into my office.
Temporarily.
552
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:43,675
You've taken up residency in the EEOB?
That's crazy.
553
00:30:43,758 --> 00:30:46,177
I have a couch
that feels like a cumulus cloud.
554
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:48,847
- You'll stay with me.
- No, I can't.
555
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,849
- [keys jingling]
- Finally.
556
00:30:50,932 --> 00:30:54,644
You can and you will.
It'll be like a middle-school sleepover.
557
00:30:54,727 --> 00:30:57,480
You had girls coming over
to your sleepover in middle school?
558
00:30:57,564 --> 00:30:59,065
In my dreams.
559
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:06,364
The opioid epidemic is in every family
throughout the USA.
560
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:10,535
I could probably go get a prescription
for tramadol today if I wanted to.
561
00:31:10,618 --> 00:31:13,288
It's heroin.
Of course the manufacturers know that.
562
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:15,498
They're made out of the same stuff.
563
00:31:15,582 --> 00:31:17,601
When I think about all those people
struggling out there,
564
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:19,460
they're suffering through this...
565
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:22,046
[voice breaking] like my cousin.
Excuse me.
566
00:31:22,755 --> 00:31:24,007
[crying]
567
00:31:24,090 --> 00:31:26,301
They just need so much more love.
568
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:33,057
People will fight and say they do not want
rehab facilities in their area.
569
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:34,851
I knew I was hooked at that point.
570
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:37,854
Eventually, I got in a car accident
with my son.
571
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:40,106
I nodded out at the wheel,
572
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:43,484
and instead of getting my crying toddler
out of the car
573
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:45,403
that was smoking and smoldering,
574
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:49,032
I got my drugs out first,
and then I went back for my child.
575
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:54,162
- [sighs] So what'd you think?
- It's good. Release it.
576
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:56,998
Add a photo of Moss' ugly mug
to the next one.
577
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:58,541
And I want a voice-over that says,
578
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,920
"His name is Cornelius Moss,
and he approved this drug."
579
00:32:02,003 --> 00:32:05,006
- Wow. Not pulling any punches.
- We need to be ready with the big guns.
580
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:06,716
I have a feeling that Moss' team
581
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,344
is gonna go through FDA approvals
under Kirkman.
582
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:10,803
Why would you think that?
583
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,722
It's called gaming the possibilities,
sweetie.
584
00:32:12,805 --> 00:32:16,225
I've been doing this a long time.
It's what I would do if I were them.
585
00:32:16,309 --> 00:32:19,187
Let's find anything questionable
and prepare statements.
586
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:21,773
- I'll reach out to the FDA.
- Get Isabel's help.
587
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:28,435
[Seth] How was the night watch?
588
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:31,366
It's amazing what one can do on no sleep.
589
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:34,535
The White House creed. What's the latest?
590
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:37,497
The FBI was able to pull some data
from a hard drive
591
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,499
recovered after the brewery fire.
592
00:32:39,582 --> 00:32:43,920
They confirmed that Momberg was
working with our trail of dead scientists.
593
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,089
He's the mastermind.
594
00:32:46,172 --> 00:32:49,092
It looks that way,
except Treasury found huge sums
595
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:53,096
wired to the brewery over the past year
from a shell corp in Delaware.
596
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:54,514
Is this a mercenary job?
597
00:32:54,597 --> 00:32:58,184
No, this is his life's work.
He has a patron.
598
00:32:58,267 --> 00:33:00,186
A wealthy American, by the look of it.
599
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:02,730
I'm heading to the Situation Room.
600
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,316
Aaron, come with me.
Mars, hold down the fort.
601
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,776
[Seth] Sir, I spoke to the CDC.
602
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:08,619
They said the more information
the public has
603
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:10,133
before something happens, the better.
604
00:33:10,196 --> 00:33:12,532
Well, I'm sorry,
we don't have any information.
605
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,368
I could put out some guidance
under the guise of flu prevention.
606
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:17,537
Coughing into your elbow,
frequent handwashing.
607
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:19,789
Seth, water might be
how this thing spreads.
608
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:23,042
Okay, so not that, but we have to say
something, Mr. President.
609
00:33:24,127 --> 00:33:25,503
I'm sorry, it's too soon.
610
00:33:26,087 --> 00:33:28,214
Sir, maybe if you and your kids
were being targeted,
611
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:30,925
- you might feel differently.
- [Mars] You're out of line.
612
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,469
No, say what you've gotta say.
613
00:33:34,554 --> 00:33:37,348
Momberg's plan doesn't target
anyone in this room except me.
614
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,601
And from where I stand,
I'm sorry, sir, I...
615
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,688
I can't help but wonder
if maybe it's easier
616
00:33:43,771 --> 00:33:47,066
taking a chance on someone's life
when they don't look like you.
617
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:52,238
Seth, I understand how you might think
I'm taking this less personally than you,
618
00:33:52,321 --> 00:33:56,200
but I am responsible for the safety
and security of every American citizen.
619
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:59,412
I took an oath to that effect,
and I didn't take it lightly.
620
00:33:59,495 --> 00:34:01,831
We don't know
what we're dealing with here.
621
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:04,792
We don't know if hand sanitizer
helps this stuff grow
622
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:07,545
or if it has an affinity
for the cotton in breathing masks.
623
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:11,466
The only chance we've got
is to capture this monster,
624
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:13,301
and it's as simple as that.
625
00:34:16,596 --> 00:34:18,598
["King of the Road" playing on radio]
626
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:23,770
[singing indistinctly]
627
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:36,157
Isabel.
628
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:40,912
- I'm a little busy right now.
- I need your help.
629
00:34:40,995 --> 00:34:44,123
- This better not be about water.
- Water? No, uh...
630
00:34:44,207 --> 00:34:46,626
Lorraine wants me
to look into FDA drug approvals
631
00:34:46,709 --> 00:34:48,127
under the president's governance.
632
00:34:48,211 --> 00:34:51,297
- That sounds like a campaign issue.
- Technically, it is.
633
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,525
But if the Moss campaign
gets this information before we do,
634
00:34:53,549 --> 00:34:55,468
it could also be
attacking the administration.
635
00:34:55,551 --> 00:34:58,054
So you want me to violate the Hatch Act
636
00:34:58,137 --> 00:35:01,265
to help you and Lorraine
beat Moss at his own game?
637
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:02,934
In simple terms, yes.
638
00:35:03,017 --> 00:35:05,812
- Well, in simple terms, no.
- Is something wrong?
639
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:11,943
Emily, you can drop the pretense.
I know what's up.
640
00:35:12,026 --> 00:35:13,361
Excuse me?
641
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:16,114
Don't fucking bullshit me.
642
00:35:17,824 --> 00:35:18,991
Aaron told me.
643
00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:24,455
[sighs]
644
00:35:29,085 --> 00:35:30,670
[Eli] Davis Marlowe.
645
00:35:30,753 --> 00:35:33,005
[Davis] I've ordered drinks.
You a fan of Hefeweizen?
646
00:35:33,089 --> 00:35:34,549
I just drove two hours
647
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:37,319
because you were worried the Illuminati
were monitoring our video chat.
648
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:39,679
I have no time for drinks
or get-to-know-you prattle.
649
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:40,763
Okay.
650
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:43,474
I had a visitor in my lab last year.
651
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:47,478
He was very Waspy.
Skinny legs, painful sting.
652
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,735
He wanted to pay me
to do research on infections
653
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:52,942
that precisely target
population subgroups.
654
00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:55,027
And this wasn't a red flag how?
655
00:35:55,111 --> 00:35:56,404
I said no, obviously.
656
00:35:57,071 --> 00:35:59,282
Pretty bananas, the sum of money
he was offering.
657
00:35:59,365 --> 00:36:01,093
- Did you catch his name?
- He never told me.
658
00:36:01,117 --> 00:36:04,245
My point is that even though I said no,
doesn't mean everyone else will.
659
00:36:04,912 --> 00:36:08,207
Momberg? He's on this guy's payroll?
660
00:36:08,291 --> 00:36:11,127
An exiled scientist
doesn't have the dough to pull this off.
661
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,588
Not without help from someone
higher up in the food chain.
662
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:19,594
Can you believe the campaign wants me
to dig through Kirkman's FDA approvals?
663
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:21,387
- Do it.
- I'm sorry, what?
664
00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:23,723
Looking into the president
doesn't defy the Hatch Act.
665
00:36:23,806 --> 00:36:25,516
Collaborate with the campaign on this one.
666
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,036
Due respect, sir, but why are you
suddenly being so accommodating?
667
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:30,938
FlagKind is exactly
what pharma shouldn't be.
668
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:33,065
They're worse
than the dealers on the corner,
669
00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:35,193
disguising addiction as healing.
670
00:36:35,276 --> 00:36:38,487
- So this is about your wife?
- I have an axe to grind, yes.
671
00:36:38,571 --> 00:36:40,698
And I wanna put it
right through their fucking heads.
672
00:36:40,781 --> 00:36:41,699
Understood.
673
00:36:41,782 --> 00:36:44,368
I'm glad someone's finally bringing
companies like this down,
674
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:46,212
but it's a little messed up,
don't you think?
675
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:47,205
Which part?
676
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:50,124
People of color have been
battling addiction for decades.
677
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:53,002
All we get is the war on drugs
and a prison sentence.
678
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:55,963
It isn't until white folks start dying
that things change.
679
00:36:56,923 --> 00:36:58,132
No offense.
680
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:00,301
You're right.
681
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:02,595
I like working with you.
682
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:04,889
You say what you mean
and you mean what you say.
683
00:37:04,972 --> 00:37:07,934
That is a good quality in this game.
Don't lose it.
684
00:37:10,811 --> 00:37:13,397
He's in Houston.
We got a ping on the smart dust.
685
00:37:13,981 --> 00:37:15,566
I've coordinated with the local PD,
686
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:17,944
and they're tapping into RFID sensors
all across the city.
687
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:20,112
The whole town is one big detection grid.
688
00:37:20,196 --> 00:37:22,591
- What did you tell them?
- We're searching for a child kidnapper.
689
00:37:22,615 --> 00:37:25,493
Aaron, inform the governor
and the mayor on the situation.
690
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:29,205
Texas is a Republican stronghold
and Moss' home state.
691
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:32,041
Whatever we tell the governor,
it's going to come back to him.
692
00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:33,709
Then we beat them to the punch.
693
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:36,295
We brief the Moss and Porter campaign
as well.
694
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:37,838
They're not gonna mess with us here.
695
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:40,299
This isn't political.
This is a national emergency.
696
00:37:43,678 --> 00:37:46,722
Felix? Yeah, get Phil Brunton
and Sophia Chase
697
00:37:46,806 --> 00:37:49,225
from the Moss and Porter campaign
in immediately.
698
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:52,228
Seth, set up that press conference
you've been waiting for.
699
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:54,814
We're gonna catch this bastard.
700
00:38:00,653 --> 00:38:02,655
[alarm blaring]
701
00:38:10,913 --> 00:38:13,916
Sorry about that, sir.
It's been malfunctioning all day.
702
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,210
I can get you checked in right over here.
703
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,962
- Thank you, son.
- Of course.
704
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:20,673
Nearly scared an old man half to death.
705
00:38:21,382 --> 00:38:22,466
[chuckles]
706
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:25,720
[clears throat]
707
00:38:26,762 --> 00:38:28,764
[operator] 911. What is your emergency?
708
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:31,392
So you're telling us there's
a credible bioterrorism threat
709
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:32,911
in the nation's fourth-largest city?
710
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:34,186
More than credible, yes.
711
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,355
And we're not allowed
to say anything about it?
712
00:38:36,439 --> 00:38:39,942
This is not a political issue, Sophia.
It is national security.
713
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:41,628
[Sophia] So Porter's supposed
to sit on his hands
714
00:38:41,652 --> 00:38:44,030
while you go in with guns blazing
and save the world?
715
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:46,532
That's page one
out of the reelection handbook.
716
00:38:46,615 --> 00:38:48,260
President Kirkman
doesn't play by the book.
717
00:38:48,284 --> 00:38:49,744
They all play by the book.
718
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:51,245
Phil, what do you think?
719
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:54,165
I think we should give them
the benefit of the doubt.
720
00:38:56,751 --> 00:39:00,338
You'll have plenty of time to spin this
when it's all over.
721
00:39:00,421 --> 00:39:01,797
Provided we're still here.
722
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:03,591
Thank you.
723
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:07,094
I didn't expect you to be so reasonable.
724
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,013
Doesn't exactly fit your reputation.
725
00:39:09,096 --> 00:39:10,389
Country before party.
726
00:39:16,729 --> 00:39:19,357
- What did the governor say?
- See for yourself, sir.
727
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,526
We were made aware of the threat
only moments ago,
728
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:24,779
and we were told to keep our mouths shut.
729
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:27,156
But unlike President Kirkman
and his cronies,
730
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,743
I believe our constituents have a right
to know when their lives are in danger.
731
00:39:30,826 --> 00:39:34,580
So in consultation with President Moss,
I decided to inform the public.
732
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:35,831
Are you kidding me?
733
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:38,626
Get me the governor and the mayor
back on the line now.
734
00:39:39,251 --> 00:39:40,294
[phone beeps]
735
00:39:50,304 --> 00:39:51,573
Governor, what the hell were you thinking?
736
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:53,224
Do you have any idea what you've done?
737
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:54,642
I was well within my rights.
738
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:56,143
No, sir, you were not!
739
00:39:56,227 --> 00:40:00,147
That was classified information
I gave you out of respect to your office.
740
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:03,859
That political stunt that you just pulled
may have tipped off our suspect
741
00:40:03,943 --> 00:40:06,278
and will cause widespread panic
across your state.
742
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,406
- We have it under control.
- No, sir, you don't.
743
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:11,075
What you're gonna have
is riots in the street over bottled water,
744
00:40:11,158 --> 00:40:12,158
you son of a bitch.
745
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:15,204
Mr. President, what's the plan here?
My city's in danger.
746
00:40:15,287 --> 00:40:18,374
The plan was to capture the guy.
If we fail to do that now,
747
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:20,543
we have measures in place
to quarantine your city.
748
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:23,254
Quarantine a city
of six and a half million?
749
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,256
We have the National Guard standing by.
750
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:27,925
Like hell you do.
I command the National Guard in my state.
751
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:29,218
No, you don't, Governor.
752
00:40:29,301 --> 00:40:31,512
My authority supersedes yours
in this matter.
753
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:35,099
And because of what you've done,
we have to consider invoking martial law.
754
00:40:35,182 --> 00:40:38,978
"Martial law"? You can't be serious.
It's been 100 years since...
755
00:40:39,061 --> 00:40:41,689
You are the poster boy
for government overreach.
756
00:40:41,772 --> 00:40:43,083
- We will fight you on this.
- [Dianne] Mr. President.
757
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:44,316
Excuse me.
758
00:40:47,903 --> 00:40:49,238
We're closing in on him.
759
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:08,799
[agent] Sir, come with me please.
This way.
760
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:26,025
- [agent 1] Freeze!
- [agent 2] Drop the bag!
761
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:28,736
Drop the bag.
762
00:41:31,113 --> 00:41:33,073
I said drop the bag now!
763
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:36,160
Fifty years of working
for the betterment of mankind,
764
00:41:36,243 --> 00:41:40,915
only to meet an ignoble end
in some cheap hotel
765
00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:43,417
at the hands of lesser men.
766
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:44,793
But don't worry.
767
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:47,546
My work will go on.
768
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:48,631
I said drop it!
769
00:41:49,757 --> 00:41:51,133
[Momberg] Your days are numbered.
770
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:56,764
Pandora's box is open, and her demons
will reshape the face of this earth,
771
00:41:56,847 --> 00:42:00,142
and I will forever be known
as the one who unleashed them.
772
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:02,228
[coughing]
773
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:06,690
Cyanide.
774
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:10,402
Won't be long now.
775
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:15,652
[agent 2] Let's get a medic!
776
00:42:18,077 --> 00:42:20,454
[agent 3 over phone] Subject is down,
medic attending.
777
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:21,872
The subject is unresponsive.
778
00:42:21,956 --> 00:42:23,374
We got him. He's dead.
779
00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:26,752
Great work.
780
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:28,963
Great work.
781
00:42:35,761 --> 00:42:38,055
Madam Mayor,
it is with honor that I tell you
782
00:42:38,138 --> 00:42:40,474
that the threat to your city
has been neutralized.
783
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:42,309
Mr. President, I demand to know...
784
00:42:42,893 --> 00:42:45,854
Thank you, Mr. President.
Houston is in your debt.
785
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:50,943
[sighs]
786
00:43:02,329 --> 00:43:04,456
Got an update on FDA approvals?
787
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:06,834
Isabel and I couldn't find
a single contentious decision.
788
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:10,337
FlagKind's gonna have to give away
their new drug free of cost.
789
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:13,632
- That's mighty specific.
- What else are they gonna do? Apologize?
790
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:14,842
They could pay a fine.
791
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:17,696
I've never heard of a Big Pharma company
giving away their drugs for free.
792
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:19,471
Sweetheart, I'm inside Moss' head.
793
00:43:19,555 --> 00:43:20,865
- [cell phone chimes]
- This could be the breaking point
794
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:23,183
for our Republican voters
that are leaning to the center.
795
00:43:23,267 --> 00:43:25,662
A new poll shows Porter is still ahead
in New York by four points.
796
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:28,355
We cannot let this election
slip through our fingers.
797
00:43:28,439 --> 00:43:31,567
Go scrub through all the old footage
we have for new spots.
798
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:34,653
We're gonna keep rolling 'em out. Go. Go.
799
00:43:37,031 --> 00:43:39,450
I think Lorraine has a mole
in the Moss campaign.
800
00:43:40,534 --> 00:43:41,535
No way.
801
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,958
[inaudible]
802
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,588
That was an operation
for the history books.
803
00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:55,633
- I got lucky.
- This is no time for modesty.
804
00:43:55,716 --> 00:43:58,552
You saved a lot of lives today,
Mr. President.
805
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:01,639
That's not gonna stop me
from mourning the ones I didn't.
806
00:44:01,722 --> 00:44:04,099
Which is the reason why
you're the right man for this job.
807
00:44:04,183 --> 00:44:07,561
Could you imagine a corporate shill
like Porter at the helm today?
808
00:44:07,645 --> 00:44:09,271
Or a petty dictator like Moss?
809
00:44:09,355 --> 00:44:12,816
They don't care about service,
country, the American people.
810
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,319
They care about power.
811
00:44:15,944 --> 00:44:18,822
- But I'm the one losing.
- You're gonna beat Porter.
812
00:44:19,531 --> 00:44:21,950
But Moss does ignite
a portion of this country
813
00:44:22,034 --> 00:44:26,330
that many of us like to forget exists,
which is why you have to beat him.
814
00:44:27,081 --> 00:44:28,415
Today proved that.
815
00:44:29,041 --> 00:44:31,210
Mr. President, Deputy Director Lewis.
816
00:44:31,293 --> 00:44:32,586
The heroes of the hour.
817
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:37,716
Mr. President, I'm afraid Dr. Mays
has some disturbing news.
818
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,219
I was taking down my posts about Momberg,
819
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:43,847
and I came across instructions
to make his nightmare virus online.
820
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:45,474
How is that possible?
821
00:44:45,557 --> 00:44:47,117
[Dianne] Before Momberg killed himself,
822
00:44:47,184 --> 00:44:50,646
he uploaded his methodology
to a public DIY forum.
823
00:44:50,729 --> 00:44:53,857
They've scrubbed it, but it's already been
downloaded at least a dozen times.
824
00:44:53,941 --> 00:44:56,628
So you're telling me that anyone
can access this information and use it?
825
00:44:56,652 --> 00:45:00,030
Not anyone. It's an insanely
difficult piece of genetic engineering,
826
00:45:00,114 --> 00:45:01,514
and there's no way to know for sure
827
00:45:01,573 --> 00:45:03,385
if it would have been lethal
without testing it.
828
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:06,286
- Quantico's running a sample.
- What can we do about this?
829
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:09,289
Start controlling the sale
of genetic material.
830
00:45:09,373 --> 00:45:12,042
Make lethal sequences hard,
if not impossible, to get.
831
00:45:12,126 --> 00:45:15,879
And, if Agent Wells taught me anything,
832
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:18,841
get people like me, scientists,
to advise you.
833
00:45:18,924 --> 00:45:21,885
- And if this happens again?
- Not "if," sir, "when."
834
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:25,389
This wasn't the first time.
It won't be the last.
835
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:33,331
[Detwiler on TV] As chairman
of the board of FlagKind,
836
00:45:33,355 --> 00:45:36,942
I take our responsibility to the public
with the utmost seriousness.
837
00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:39,736
The opioid epidemic
is crushing our nation,
838
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:42,364
and while the idea
that President Moss is responsible
839
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:44,324
is nothing but fake journalism,
840
00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:47,327
he does feel a responsibility
to those in need.
841
00:45:47,411 --> 00:45:50,122
Which is why he's partnering with FlagKind
842
00:45:50,205 --> 00:45:53,959
to make treatment for this addiction
100% free.
843
00:45:59,047 --> 00:46:00,299
[imitates gunshot]
844
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,181
[Seth] You guys have to swear
not to repeat what I just said.
845
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:09,141
If Harper finds out that I told you
846
00:46:09,224 --> 00:46:13,729
before the "we narrowly avoided genocide"
presser tomorrow, he'll kill me.
847
00:46:13,812 --> 00:46:14,938
Like, murder me dead.
848
00:46:15,022 --> 00:46:17,083
Doesn't sound like he's the only one
who wants you dead.
849
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:19,526
- Or us dead.
- [Seth] You might've had a chance.
850
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:22,821
You're more of a coffee and two creams
than either of us.
851
00:46:22,905 --> 00:46:25,115
Hey, Puerto Ricans have a long history
852
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,452
of being the targets
of genocidal experiments.
853
00:46:28,994 --> 00:46:30,954
- Read about it.
- I'm a black gay man.
854
00:46:31,538 --> 00:46:32,938
Pretty sure that trumps everything.
855
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:35,667
People think I'm a Muslim terrorist
trying to do them harm.
856
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,670
Going through airport security's a bitch.
857
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:41,715
Like when I walk into a store
and spend more than 15 seconds browsing?
858
00:46:41,798 --> 00:46:45,052
But, guys, didn't you hear? This is what
a post-racial society looks like.
859
00:46:45,677 --> 00:46:46,677
We're all screwed.
860
00:46:47,429 --> 00:46:48,430
Cheers.
861
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:55,312
Do you think he was able to infect anyone?
862
00:46:56,396 --> 00:46:57,814
Before they got him?
863
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:15,916
Thanks for the heads-up.
864
00:47:42,776 --> 00:47:45,195
- What's wrong, Daddy?
- Nothing.
865
00:47:46,405 --> 00:47:50,158
I just wanted to say good night
to my favorite daughter.
866
00:47:52,911 --> 00:47:54,871
I'm your only daughter, silly.
867
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:57,791
Well, it doesn't make it any less true.
868
00:47:58,667 --> 00:48:00,043
You look sad.
869
00:48:04,631 --> 00:48:05,799
Did something happen?
870
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:09,845
Nothing for you to worry about.
871
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:14,141
I love you.
872
00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:16,310
I love you, too.
873
00:48:17,603 --> 00:48:19,396
Come here, give me a hug.
874
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:21,982
[sighs]
875
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:28,238
Okay.
876
00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:31,992
Time for you to go back to sleep.
877
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:35,787
- Good night, Dad.
- Good night, sweetheart.
878
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,383
[cell phone ringing]
879
00:48:53,722 --> 00:48:54,556
Hey.
880
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,451
[Davis] Remember that guy
who came to my lab I told you about?
881
00:48:56,475 --> 00:48:58,685
The one looking to make ethnic bioweapons?
882
00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:00,604
Turn on CNBS.
883
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:06,693
While the Kirkman administration kept this
dire news from the American people,
884
00:49:06,777 --> 00:49:07,986
putting them in grave danger,
885
00:49:08,070 --> 00:49:09,946
President Moss' bold leadership
886
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:13,241
can be credited
for the swift resolution of this crisis.
887
00:49:13,325 --> 00:49:14,325
That's him.
888
00:49:14,826 --> 00:49:16,721
[reporter] Do you have anything
to add, Mr. Brunton?
889
00:49:16,745 --> 00:49:20,374
God bless President Moss,
and God bless America.
890
00:49:34,846 --> 00:49:36,848
