MAN: Previously on The Oval...
- I wanna talk and I wanna talk now.
You had your chance, Lilly.
- What? No, no, Kyle. Kyle...
[grunting]
- This is going to be fun. - No!
- If you could tell me one thing,
what happened to Jean?
I killed her.
- I'm here to give you this opportunity to resign.
I'm going to the press.
And I will ruin your -- life.
- Is that about right? - Mr. Vice President--
- No, no. Let him go on.
- No ma'am, he is way off base.
- Is he? - Yes ma'am, he is.
I'm not so sure.
The man wants to talk.
Let's talk.
- Uh-oh, Victoria wants to talk.
- VICTORIA: Hunter, this man--
Baby, can I go first?
Please do.
- This man would be nothing--
An Alderman.
- An Alderman. - Yes, yes.
- On a third-rate city council.
- No...a mother -- dog catcher.
[chuckling]
Had it not been for us.
- And you come in here with this bullshit.
[making tsk sound]
Honey, I think he's trying to threaten us.
Mm.
As I said...
Bullshit.
- Look at him. - [chuckling]
- Sitting there so pathetic. - I see him.
Are you both done?
Baby, you ain't Barack.
- And we haven't even started yet.
- I'm just trying to get the correct information
so I can get to the bottom of this before it goes nuclear.
- Nuclear? Honey...
- [laughing] - Yes. Nuclear.
Hmm.
We can show you nuclear.
- Yes, we can. - Sir...
- HUNTER: We can show you how we handle a weak,
pathetic attempt at a coup.
A coup?
That's what this is.
- And we know how to handle a coup.
- MAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
the President and the First Lady.
- MALE SINGER: ♪ Feels like I'm running out of time ♪
♪ You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine ♪
♪ I'm not really sure where we're headed to ♪
♪ I just hope that you make it when I do ♪♪
- I can assure you I'm not trying to pull a coup.
Oh, I think you are.
[making tsk sound]
Trying to overthrow the government.
- Mmhmm, that's what he's doing, honey.
And we will not stand for it.
- I'm trying to get to the truth.
- Your truth is not something you can trust.
I trust my sources.
- Well, you better be damn sure you can.
- 'Cause we're gonna bury your ass.
- I just want the truth and the American people--
- Can go -- themselves.
I'm the only American that matters.
- I think the people would see that differently.
- You believe that, you're even dumber than I thought.
- We tell them what and how to think.
The truth is the truth.
That will determine how people think.
And this, this is the truth.
- This is a bag of --.
And it's a bag of lies.
- VICTORIA: And you just pissed off the baddest mother --
in Washington.
- Sir--
- No, I'm not talking about him, dear.
You're looking at the wrong one.
- HUNTER: He doesn't know your truth, honey.
- No, he doesn't know my thirst for blood.
I will kill a bitch
and step over her body to get to butter on the table.
I've seen her do it.
Sir, we shouldn't do this.
- VICTORIA: No, we didn't start this, Donald.
- But oh, ho, ho, ho, we're gonna finish it.
- Get your bitch ass out this office.
- HUNTER: And if I hear so much as a word,
if you breathe a word of this...
Don't tell him, honey.
Keep him guessing.
- I like that. - Yeah.
Okay.
Go -- yourself.
Sir.
Eli.
Ma'am?
How are your children?
HUNTER: Oh, that's right.
They're at that posh little middle school.
- There's one thing that you cannot do
and that is threaten my children.
- Did we just do that? - No.
We would never threaten your children.
I was just asking about those little bastards.
But now that you brought it up, threats and all,
we'll kill those mother --.
So much for a resignation.
[scoffs]
- Sir, did you think that was wise?
- [scoffs] To hell with that guy.
Sir, he is the Vice President.
- I mean he could-- - Do nothing.
- Ma'am. - We made his punk ass.
- Ma'am-- - What?
- I don't think you should ever underestimate a man's desire
for power.
Or a power trip.
- What the hell is that fool thinking, Donald?
- I don't know, sir. - Son of a bitch.
- DONALD: You know what? I'll give him a call and see if
- I can talk him out of this, huh? - HUNTER: Alright, do that.
But find out who he's talking to.
Who's he getting his information from?
Yes, sir.
- And look, I don't care if he is the Vice President.
He breathes a word of this, we bury him so deep
they're not gonna be able to find him with a sonar.
I'm on it, sir.
- Could you have driven any slower?
- Excuse me, I was speeding the whole way here.
- You call that speeding? - Would you relax? She's fine.
You don't know that.
- Well, freaking out about it isn't gonna help.
- So just stay calm. - [sighs]
Here, put this on.
A ski mask, really?
- What, you want to just go in there and blow this shit?
- At this point all I want is Kyle.
And you'll get your chance.
- [phone buzzing] - Phone's ringing.
- Yes sir? - ELI: Hey. Where are you guys?
- BOBBY: On the way. We had to make a quick stop, sir.
- Well, what's going on? - It's Lilly, sir.
- The Chief of Staff's wife? - Correct, sir.
ELI: What about her?
- She's with us, and she needs to be rescued.
- So she's in danger? - Yes, sir.
- ELI: No, no, no, that's too risky.
I need you guys here at the White House.
- BOBBY: No sir, but with all due respect,
this is not happening without her.
- Excuse me? - BOBBY: She's valuable,
she can help corroborate our story.
We need all the help we can get.
- Look, I just really pissed them off
and I feel like a sitting duck here.
- MAX: Sir, do you not trust your detail?
- No, not after what I just did. - Okay, we'll come to you now.
- Max... - What?
- No. - Okay listen,
I'm gonna stay in plain sight.
- BOBBY: Sir, I assure you, you will not be harmed.
- It's after you leave-- - Okay.
Well, my wife is on her way here.
Do you trust her detail?
No, I don't trust any of them.
- Sir, just stay put in your office.
- I'll get Sam on the line. - Sam?
- We can trust him. - Are you sure?
MAX: Yes, we are.
Just stay put, we'll have him come to you.
- ELI: Okay, hurry. - We will.
- Listen, I really pissed them off, so I mean it, hurry.
- MAX: We'll be there soon, sir. This shouldn't take long.
Thank you.
Are you happy now?
You know we should be there with him.
- We could just gonna walk right through the front door
- of the White House? - You did, didn't you?
We should be there.
- I don't know why this feels like a setup.
- Well, it might be, but we're still going.
- Look, I'm just gonna go in and check on her
and then we can--
Meet our fate.
We can.
To the end?
To the end.
This is Sam.
- Four-six-zero-two.
Yeah.
- The Vice President wants to see you.
- What? - Yeah, he's there now.
- What's this about? - Just go talk to him.
- Okay, I'm stepping away now. I'm on it.
Call me when you can, okay?
[knocking]
- Hey. - Hey, can I...
- Can I come in? - Yeah, yeah.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You don't seem fine.
I'm fine.
Is Dale here?
Yeah, he's in his room.
Okay.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
You're just gonna walk away from me like that?
I just want to talk to him.
- Tell me what's going on, Sharon.
Fine.
Can I just talk to him, please?
- Okay. - Thank you.
Yeah.
- Allan, listen, I know this is difficult for you,
but I need you here and I need you here right now. Okay?
This is a lot to handle.
So I need you to come in.
[sighs]
LILLY: [grunting]
[phone buzzing]
- --!
How is she?
Shit!
- - --.
- She won't talk. - Really?
- Nope. - Put her on the phone.
Here you go.
[grunts, laughs]
- DONALD: Lilly... - Donald. [chuckling]
- Stop it, Donald. - Oh, I'm not doing anything.
- Then make him stop. Donald, please.
- DONALD: Wait, wait, wait, you wanted to play hard chick,
right?
I, uh...I'm sorry.
DONALD: Nah, do me a favor, baby, hm?
Okay.
Are you listening?
- LILLY: Yeah, yeah, I'm listening.
Do us a favor.
- LILLY: Okay Donald, what's the -- favor?
- You see that man next to you with those pearly-white teeth?
Tell him what he wants to know.
- I don't know anything, sweetheart.
- DONALD: Ooh baby, that's not gonna please him.
- [chuckling] What do you want me to do?
You want me to make something up?
- DONALD: No, you think I want you around here lying? No.
All I want you to do is tell the truth.
I don't know anything!
- DONALD: Oh yeah, yeah, you know something.
Please.
- DONALD: Baby, just talk to the man. Huh?
- I can't believe-- I can't you, Donald.
- Well, I can believe you and all this bullshit
- you've been causing. - LILLY: Okay, okay.
Alright, well then just let me go and I'll leave.
I swear, I swear.
- DONALD: Leave? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me, you are way too valuable to me
to let you leave home.
- You understand that, right? - Please.
- DONALD: Kyle? - Yes, sir?
- Make that shit hurt. - LILLY: Donald...
Ooh, yes sir.
- LILLY: Donald... you -- -- bitch!
- Let somebody else do your - - work, huh?
You doing this all for four inches?
[laughing] Okay.
- KYLE: Way more than that, baby.
- Kyle, Kyle, listen, Kyle. - ...and three.
- I wanna talk to you. - I figured you would.
- You know? - Know what?
About what happened.
No, but I have an idea.
Okay, what do you think?
- It's something with the President.
How do you know?
- Kyle is a strange guy, isn't he?
Has he contacted you?
No, and I hope he doesn't.
Okay, alright.
Will you let me know if he does?
Yeah, but why?
- Well, he came to the store and he kidnapped me
and brought me to the President.
- What? - Yeah.
To the White House.
The President wants me to be his mistress.
- Sharon, that's--
- No, no, that's-- that's not all of it.
He had an apartment for me, stocks in my name,
money, everything.
You're kidding me, right?
- I wish I was. But no, I'm not.
Okay...
What?
- If he's anything like Kyle, if he wants something,
he's not gonna stop until he gets it.
- Well, he's not getting this, so--
- No, you don't understand, you have to be so careful now.
What do you think I'm doing?
- Yeah, but you know, you can't go anywhere near them again,
okay?
Dale, I didn't ask for this.
- I know, but you just need to...
What?
- I think you should just keep Kareem around you
- from now on. - [scoffs]
For what?
For protection.
- I don't, I don't think it's that bad.
You serious?
They kidnapped you, and they shot me.
Good point.
You remember this guy?
The Chief of Staff?
- Yeah, so he's having an affair with Kyle,
which is why he had me shot.
- What?! You're kidding.
No, I'm not.
- Are you s-- - DALE: They're crazy.
We have to stay away from them.
Oh my God, wow.
What did he say to you?
[sighs]
He threatened to have me killed if I even saw Kyle again.
- Dale, we have to go to the police, we have to--
DALE: No, Sharon.
There's no one to go to.
Don't you understand? There's no one.
Shit! What the...
Just stay with Kareem, okay?
What the hell is he gonna do?
They don't like witnesses.
So...
And how do you know that?
Just things Kyle told me.
Of course.
Just stay with him.
- Wouldn't that put him in danger too?
- We'll be better if we all stick together, honestly.
God.
- Did you enjoy your late breakfast, sir?
- Yeah, it was, it was whatever.
Could you, uh, could you get me some coffee?
Yes, sir.
♪
[chuckles]
Sir, sir, what are you doing?
- Um, um, I'm... I'm going somewhere.
Where are you going, sir?
- Look, if it's your job to follow me,
then shut your little mouth and do that.
- Come on. - Yes, sir.
- Don't ask me any more questions.
- What are you doing? Where are you going?
- I'm going to jump off the roof.
Oh, okay.
Well, be sure you hit something hard when you land.
Do you think I'm joking?
- Jason, I really don't give a shit.
I hate you.
- Well that's an emotion I know very well.
- You're the worst kind of mother.
I know.
And I'm looking at the proof.
Tell me before it's too late.
Where is Gayle?
Where you will be soon.
What did you do to her?
- She is getting the help you both need.
- You know why we need help, Mom?
- Yes, because I'm an awful mother.
- Yeah, and I hope you can live with yourself.
I'll die a happy woman.
- You know, I'm tempted to take you off of him
and let him have free reign of this place.
- I'm not sure that's the best idea, ma'am.
- Well, then you better follow him.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello, First Lady.
Hi, Second Lady.
How are you?
I'm not doing too good.
- Oh no. What's the issue?
- That husband of yours is a bit of a Boy Scout.
I'm sorry?
He didn't tell you?
- No. He asked me to come here to meet with him.
Did he now?
Yes.
Where are your children?
They're at school.
- VICTORIA: At school? - Mm-hmm.
- And are they still attending...
- Franklin. - That's beautiful.
- Oh yes, it is. And you know what?
They really love it there.
That's great.
And how are your children?
Oh, they're wonderful.
Doing much better than yours, I'm sure.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sorry, but I really need to go and meet
with my husband.,
- Can I tell you something? - Oh, of course.
Please.
I don't like you.
I don't like him.
You have the worst taste in clothes,
and now you're wearing this?
- Yes, I thought that it's--
Beautiful.
Well, thank you.
- Don't ever come here to the White House
trying to look better than me. Are we clear?
- That's not what I was trying to do.
- No, that's what you were trying to do.
- Now, why would I want to do that?
Don't question me.
Well, I'm sorry.
Truly.
- So you were on your way to see your husband?
Yes.
And I'm running late, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna get there.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're having lunch with me.
- I don't-- - That wasn't a question, dear.
Okay.
Um, I just need to tell my husband before we go.
- No, no, no. You'll tell him nothing.
Where's your detail, darling?
At the bottom of the stairs.
And I don't have my phone, I think I should--
- I'll be sure the staff tells him.
Yes, ma'am.
- Did that little bastard eat it all?
Priscilla...
What?
- It is obvious you're not happy working here.
I'm happy here.
- Well, you're not acting like it.
I'm not happy with her.
- Well, you have to work for her, or you can leave.
I can work for her.
- Then I need you to return to the professional that you are.
- I'm trying, Richard. - Yeah, well...
It doesn't look like it.
It's hard.
You know what I'm going through.
Then take some time off.
- I don't want to take any time off.
- Priscilla, it may be for the best.
It's not gonna happen.
- I'm surprised you're even still working here.
She can't fire me.
- Yeah, 'cause you played a card
that we were never ever to play.
I know, I'll do better.
Have you talked to Sam?
About what?
Anything.
Are y'all talking?
Are you and Nancy talking?
Yes, we are.
Well, good.
And you need to talk to Sam.
No, Richard.
Priscilla...
- What Nancy did was 25 years ago.
Sam just did it.
Okay, okay.
- I'm not talking to him. We're done.
Okay.
- You want me to be better? Stop bringing his ass up.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Sure.
- You want me to take that stuff to the downstairs kitchen?
No. I'll take care of it.
- Great, I'll prepare the lunch. - RICHARD: Yeah.
[knocking]
Enter.
Sir...
Sam.
How are you, sir?
I'm not so sure.
- Is there something I can do for you, sir?
I'm told I can trust you.
Yes sir, you can.
- The President killed a woman, framed two agents,
and then killed the maid. What do you know about this?
Uh, well, sir, I, uh...
- This is not the time to be coy.
I've heard rumors.
Rumors?
Bobby says you're with us.
Yes, sir.
He and Max.
- So you are working with them, sir?
They are true patriots.
Yes, yes they are.
So are you with me?
[sighs]
Yes sir, I am.
Then tell me what you know.
Yes, sir.
I think the Chief of Staff is in on it--
the cover-up, that is.
And forgive me for saying, but
the First Son has serious issues.
I see.
Yes, sir.
Well,
I'm about to go public, and I just need a few good men
to stand with me.
Yes, sir.
Can I count on you?
- Well, sir, if I may ask, um...
That's why you're here.
How solid is your case?
- Well, with more and more people like you,
I should have enough information to take it to the Senate.
His party rules, sir.
They can't rule away evidence.
- Sir, they are rather, um, cult-like
in their following for him.
- What would you have me do, hmm?
Let the President of the United States get away with murder?
No, sir.
- No, I won't do it. I won't.
Yes, sir.
- You know her father almost had him killed?
- Well, sir... [clears throat]
We don't know that to be true.
- I know it. I absolutely know it.
Yes, sir.
- Look, I know you can't be my detail leader,
but I just need you to keep an eye on my wife and me
until Max and Bobby get here.
They're coming here, sir?
- Yes, and then I'm going to the briefing room
to tell the press what I know.
- Sir, I'm not sure that's the best thing to do.
The people need to know.
Sir, are you sure?
Yes, just please...
I don't trust my detail.
- I have a few other men that I can put on you, sir.
- No, actually I would rather you send them to the school
to pick up my children and take them to a secure location.
- Yes, sir. - Okay, thank you.
Yes, sir.
- Hello. - Hey.
NANCY: Hey.
I was just at the store getting your favorites.
Thank you.
- NANCY: Richard, thank you so much for forgiving me.
- Baby, I don't want to talk about that right now.
- Don't tell me you're still mad.
- RICHARD: No, no, no, no, no, I'm not mad.
Okay, good.
- But I do need you to swing by the White House.
Oh, okay.
Uh, you need something?
- I need you to talk to Priscilla.
- Oh, okay. Uh, is she okay?
No. No, no, she's not.
- Well, I'll come by. - RICHARD: Okay.
Yeah, she just needs somebody to talk to.
- Are you sure that's the best place to do it?
Why wouldn't it be?
- I mean, isn't that the place of all the pain?
You know about that?
- She's told me enough and I put the rest together.
- Shit, I wish she wouldn't have done that.
- So you're asking me to come by and help,
but you don't want me to know the truth?
- Okay, okay, I get it, I get it.
- I mean, you know--you know I know how to keep secrets, so...
Nancy...
- I--I didn't mean that. - [sighs]
Look, now, it's too soon to be making that kind of a joke.
- NANCY: No, I wasn't. [sighs]
I'm sorry.
- Yeah, I do know you know how to keep a secret.
Richard, I'm sorry.
Look, I gotta go.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- NANCY: Look, just call me when you want me to come by.
- Yeah, I will. - I'm sorry again.
- It's alright. I'll call you.
Okay.
[sighs]
Damn!
- [knocking] - Who is it?
ALONZO: It's Alonzo.
Hey, man.
Sorry, but that -- kid is insane.
Alonzo...
- They had me watching him every goddamn second.
They thought he was gonna do something stupid.
I just got off and I came straight over here.
- Alonzo... - So, look I got the Glock--
Look, man, look around.
What the hell happened?
She's dead.
- Who's-- - Ellie, she's dead.
What?
- They shot her right in there.
What?
- They said it was a stray bullet.
What are you saying?
- That's exactly what I'm saying.
She's dead. We were in there talking.
And just like that, a bullet--
- What? What the hell? - Look, man--
- When did this happen? - I need that gun, okay?
- No, no, you're not taking this gun.
- I need the gun. - For what?
What are you going to do with it?
- They did it, man. Okay?
- Allan, you're not making any sense.
- They did it. You hear me?
The White House, okay? She did it.
I think the First Lady had her killed.
- Allan, are you okay? - Look, man, I'm telling you--
- No, you're not telling me this.
She did it. Okay?
The First Lady did it.
Allan...
Okay, you're obviously upset.
I'm not upset!
Alonzo, I'm telling you the truth.
- No, you're not telling me the truth.
- What you're saying, it's-- - Is what? What is it?
It's madness.
Oh God...
Okay, look...
I know she did it.
She wanted me to beat Ellie with a bat
in the -- head.
- What? - Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay, I'm gonna go now, alright?
- I need that gun, man. Okay? Please.
- No, no. You're not taking this gun.
- I need it, I need the gun. Please.
Don't make me beg you, man.
Allan, don't make me pin you.
Okay.
You need help.
Don't talk to me until you get it.
- Don't do this to me. You're all I got right now.
- Don't-- - Please.
- Don't come to the White House with this bullshit,
or I swear I will let them know.
I will do my job.
[grunting]
- Ahhh. - [chuckling] Ahhh.
- [laughing] - Come on, come on, girl.
- Kyle, I don't know anything, Kyle.
- You're a lot tougher than I thought.
Please.
- No, no, no. No please, Lilly!
- Look, Kyle, I swear I don't know anything, okay?
- I think you know everything. - No, I don't.
I really don't, I really don't.
Okay, well, more water.
- --. - Then tell me, Lilly.
Come on, girl.
Kyle, Kyle, please.
I don't know anything.
- I don't, I swear I don't. - My gosh,
you make this so hard on yourself.
[grunting]
Yeah, come in.
- Sir. - Hey.
I was told you wanted to see me.
- Yes, sir. - What is it?
This can't wait.
Tell me.
- May I sit down, sir? - This must be serious.
Yes, it is.
- Is this about the Vice President, Sam?
Sir?
- Well, I was told that you went to his office to see him.
Yes, sir.
- And what did you need to talk to him about, Sam?
- His kids, they were fond of me on the campaign trail, sir.
- Well, I didn't know you were with them.
- In the distance. - Yeah.
You know, if I asked him, he'd probably say
the same thing, right?
- Yes sir, I'm sure he would. - Yeah.
So that's what you went to talk to him about?
- Your kids? - His kids, sir.
Right, sorry, his, his kids.
- SAM: Yes. - Well...
What do you want to talk to me about, Sam?
- Well, sir, uh, this is really sensitive.
Okay.
It's about the President.
What?
- I am friends with the family of someone who claims
she was brought here to the White House to meet
with the President.
What are you saying, Sam?
- I'm saying Agent Kyle went to a pharmacy, picked her up,
and brought her here to meet with the President, sir.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
- And this girl, she's a friend of yours right?
- No sir, she knows a family that I know.
And who are they?
I'd rather not say.
- You don't trust much very well, do you Sam?
- Sir, I'm just trying to do my job.
- Yeah. - And at the same time,
look out for all of us.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry.
Well, Sam, I can assure you that that never happened.
Otherwise I'd know about it, right?
Yes, sir.
- I mean, is it in any of your books?
- No, it's not, sir. - Boom!
- Didn't happen, right? - Except that she says it did.
- Oh, so you had a conversation with this girl?
- No, but my source informed me that--
- So what you're telling me is hearsay bullshit,
- sources and all? - Sir, I'm just trying--
- To not tell me one damn thing, Sam.
- Not one. - I'm sorry, sir?
- What would you have me do, Sam, hmm?
- Maybe talk to the President. - Yeah? Well--
- Let him know that's not a good idea.
- Maybe I'll get you to do that, huh?
He's not fond of me, sir.
Yeah, I'm aware.
First Lady's [unintelligible].
So maybe you should.
- You know what? I think I will.
Thank you, sir.
Will that be all?
