- Previously on The Oval...
No, I didn't.
- I want to file for divorce. - We can do that.
Can you come see me?
Or, I can have a conversation with the press.
- Are you sure this is gonna work?
- Removing the President? - Yes.
I'm not sure, Sam.
- Did he come home yet? - No.
What the hell?
- You actually want to work closer to the President?
- That's right. - Why?
- Are the bunny rabbit and tooth fairy
personalities of yours?
- Just the fairy. I try not to use teeth.
Kareem?
Nope.
- Isn't anyone gonna greet the President?
Uh, hi.
- That's better. How are you?
Um, I'm fine.
Good.
You look shocked.
- Uh... - Aren't you happy to see me?
- I'm shocked, I'm shocked to see you.
- See, I told you you were shocked.
I know it's kinda weird,
me being out of the White House and all.
Cat got your tongue?
- No. - Well, talk to me.
Okay.
Hello.
I'm Dale.
Hi, Dale.
Hi.
Is he a little slow?
I'm Hunter Franklin,
I'm President of the United States.
Yes I know, we've met.
We have?
At the White House, sir.
- You were at the White House?
- Yeah, with... we were there together.
- Oh yeah, I don't remember you.
- That's okay. - How did you get in here?
Excuse me?
How did you get in here?
- I'm the President. - Sir...
- Actually, you must know this fine young gentlemen
just got me out of the White House, like a normal person.
I can come and go whenever I want.
He just got a promotion.
- Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.
Which means I can come see you whenever I want.
- Ladies and gentlemen, the President and First Lady.
- So, have you, uh, thought about my offer?
Your offer?
The apartment? The money?
- No, I didn't think about it.
Come on.
- No, actually I did. I'm not interested.
- You're not? - No.
- Why not? - Because I'm not a whore.
- Is that what you think I think of you?
- I don't know what you think of me.
- Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
No, I don't.
- We're just talking about the apartment.
- I'm not interested! Now where the hell is Kareem?
- Oh, you're interested in Kareem?
Yes, I am, where is he?
- Agent, she's asking where Kareem is.
Should I tell her, sir?
- Do you know? - I think I do, sir.
- Yeah, probably not. - I will find him.
Yeah, I highly doubt that.
- I don't get it. Why are you doing this?
Because...
You and I had a private conversation,
and then you went and told Kareem.
And Kareem went to the police.
And now Mr. Griplyn and I
need to figure out who else you told.
- No one.
Did she tell you?
- No. - Are you lying?
No, I'm not.
- You're ------- lying, I can smell it.
I'm sorry?
That's better.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Just gonna give you a little time to come to your senses.
- I don't need to come to my senses.
I'm not your ------- slave or your possession.
- God, I like you. - Where is he?
- You know, at some point you're gonna realize
you're powerless in this situation,
and you're gonna come see me.
- Excuse me? - Okay, look...
We need to figure out who else you told.
So, did you tell the butler?
The butler?
- Don't play games with me. Did you tell his son?
No.
- Are you sure? - No, no, I didn't.
- You know what happens if you're lying to me.
- No, I swear, I didn't. I didn't tell him.
Did you tell Sam?
- Sir... - She told Sam.
- That's not a problem, sir. - It's not?
- No sir, it's not. - Okay.
- Um, I'm sorry, I won't tell anyone, I promise.
- Sharon, it's a little late for that.
- No, I promise. - Mm-hmm. Okay.
Please, please...
- Well, if you want to see Kareem,
if you want people like Kareem out,
walking about free, stop talking to people.
And come see me. You have my number.
- Check the tape. Check the tape.
- There's nothing. - What?
- What are we gonna do? - I don't know.
I hope they didn't hurt him.
- Hey, Allan? - Yes, sir?
It's good to see you here.
Yes, sir.
Has Agent Kyle called yet?
- Nope, nothing from Agent Kyle, sir.
- Okay, alright, get Agent Grip on the phone right now, okay?
- You got it. - Thanks.
- Sir? - Yes?
- The Chief of Staff would like to see you immediately.
I'll call him back.
Yes, sir.
- Sir? - Yeah?
- He said he'll call you back?
- What? - Yes, sir.
- He said that he'll call me back?
- Yeah. - Where is he?
- Sounded like he was driving, sir.
- And you're sure that's what you heard?
Yeah, and uh...
it sounded like he was with the President.
What did you just say?
- Yeah, I heard them driving, sir. Heard them in a car.
You're kidding me, right?
- No. - You damn sure better be.
- Look, I think I know that man's voice.
Okay, okay, come with me.
- What are we gonna do? - I don't know.
- What do you think they did with him?
- I don't know, Dale! - I'm sorry.
What country is this?
- It's supposed to be America, right?
- I need to go talk to Sam about this.
- No, you shouldn't do that. Obviously.
- So, I'm supposed to just let them do
whatever they want to do with Kareem?
- No, but those people are really powerful.
- I don't care! I just... - Hey wait, shh.
- What? - What if they're listening?
- Dale, I can't with you right now!
- He said he knows everything. How?
- He's just trying to scare us, and I'm not taking this.
- Yeah, well it worked on me, okay?
Come on.
- Sharon, I have the gunshots to prove it.
- Screw this, this isn't right.
No, where are you going?
- I'm gonna go talk to somebody.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
- Well damn it, give me a choice, then.
- Okay, but I mean, I can't just stay here.
- Well Dale, come with me then.
Where are you going?
- I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
Listen to me, they're trying to scare us,
I'm not having this.
- Well, we might have to let them, Sharon.
- What are we gonna do? - No we don't!
Okay.
- Alright, I'm going. You don't have to come with me.
- Okay. I guess I'm gonna go back to the apartment, then.
Fine, you do that.
- Wait, don't leave me here by myself.
The hell is Hunter?
Donald, I need to talk to you
about these people who don't speak English.
Yes, ma'am.
- We need to get some translators around here
or some shit.
I was actually just about to come and see you.
- Yes ma'am, I was actually coming to see the President.
Well, he's not here.
Okay, let me know when you find Hunter, please.
Yes, ma'am.
- And the non-English speaking workers?
- Are you talking about Yolanda, ma'am?
'Cause she speaks perfectly good English.
No, she sounds like
she's just off the boat from Mexico.
- Ma'am, she was born and raised in North Carolina.
- Well, somebody forgot to tell that accent in her throat.
It's just so annoying, the way she r-r-r,
rolls those "R"s.
- Political incorrectness, ma'am.
- I don't say this shit in public.
That bitch needs to learn how to speak English
if she's gonna be talking to me, okay?
Andale, andale, andale! Buenos noches.
Buenos tardes! Cómo estas. Muy bien. R-r-r-r-r-r!
R-r-r-r-r-r!
This is Agent Grip.
- Put the President on the phone.
- I'm not with the President, sir.
- Yeah? Where the hell are you?
- I'm outside of the Oval, sir.
- Then bring your ass through that damn door.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir?
- Were you driving? - Yes sir, I just walked in.
- Yeah. Were you alone? - Yes, sir.
Griplyn...
I'm sorry, sir.
- We'll talk about this later, you hear me?
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Hey.
- You want to tell me where you were?
- I uh, was... for a walk.
Is that right?
- Where do you think I was? - You tell me. Hm?
- Donald, you know I can't leave the White House.
That's right, you can't.
You cannot leave the White House, sir.
Exactly.
What can I do for you?
Nothing.
But, your wife was looking for you.
- Oh, I don't care. - Yes, sir.
Allan, leave please.
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
Sir, I want to ask you a question.
- I'm not talking about this with you.
- Sir, did you leave the grounds of the White House?
What did I just say to you?
- Sir, I'm just doing my job as Chief of Staff.
- Well, this shit is going to your head.
It's a job. You're not my wife.
- No sir, I am not trying to be.
- Are you sure? 'Cause this shit's annoying.
- Just like she is. - Yes, sir.
- And yet, you're still standing here
just like she would.
- Yes, sir. You know what? I'll leave.
- My office right now. - Yes, sir.
Where have you been?
Doing presidential stuff.
- You wouldn't know what that was to save your life.
Stop pretending to read that shit.
You don't even know what it is.
Actually, I do.
And the best part is it doesn't entail doing you.
- Look, I'm having the Second Lady over for lunch.
Why?
- I told her we have something on them.
- We vetted them. - I know.
And we found nothing.
- Damn it Hunter, everybody has something.
- Not them. They're like super nerds, perfect.
- Okay, well, you keep believing that shit.
- Look, I just don't want either one of them in this house.
- Well, this is the way we gain an advantage, okay?
With no information?
- Will you just let me try it, okay?
- Try what? Try anything you can,
but I don't understand what you're talking about.
- I don't know. But we have to do something.
Okay. Well, good luck.
- And you're gonna continue to pretend to read shit, huh?
- Mm-hmm. - Illiterate ass.
Sit.
- So, Grip. - Yes, sir?
- You're my boy, right? - Yes, sir.
- You sure you're my boy? - Yes, sir.
- I'm starting to doubt that. - I am, sir.
I'm on your side.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Sir, I am.
- So tell me, hm? Where was he?
- We were... - Tell me. Hm?
- When I brought him out to the van at the hospital,
he asked me if I could take him out to see someone.
- Someone? - Yes.
Was it that girl?
- Yes, sir. The girl at the pharmacy.
This is some bullshit!
- I'm sorry, sir, but he is the President--
You listen to me.
You shut up and you listen to me right now.
If he asks you to take him anywhere,
I don't give a shit where it is in the United States,
I want to know about it, you understand?
- Yes, sir. - He is out of control,
and I am constantly trying to keep him in line,
it's like he's a damn five-year-old.
Do you know what that's like?
Yes, sir.
- Look, I don't even know why you would do that
- without telling me. - I'm sorry, sir.
- Look, it has been a long time since I heard from Kyle.
Way too long. And I need you to find him.
Yes, sir.
- I need it done today. You understand?
Yes, sir.
- Grip, something is not right. Something is off.
I know it is.
- You think he's in harm's way?
- I don't know, that's why I need you to find him right now.
You understand? Right now.
Yes, sir.
Why you sitting down?
- Agent Griplyn? - Sir?
- If you ---- this up,
you will be on a detail in Siberia. Trust me.
Yes, sir.
You ever been to Siberia?
No, sir.
- Well, you'll be freezing your nuts off for your entire life.
- Trust me. - Yes, sir.
- Now go. - Yes, sir.
- Come on, Sam. This is getting old.
You ready to talk to me?
- Hey, I've said all that I need to say.
Well then, enjoy.
Sam...
- I'm not kidding around with you.
- What do you think you're doing, man?
Getting to the truth.
Look...
I'm telling you, I am not the one who has the answers.
Then who has them?
- The President and the First Lady,
and... and Donald.
- Well, I can't exactly bring him down here now, can I?
No, you can't.
So, I'm stuck with you.
- Sam, you're barking up the wrong tree, man.
I am telling you.
No, you're still not ready.
Sam?
- Nope. You're not ready. - Sam!
- Hey, Miss Nancy, is Mr. Richard here?
- No. He's at work. - Okay, um, can you call him?
What's going on?
- Hey. - Hey.
Why do you need to talk to my dad?
It's about the President, isn't it?
I just need to talk to him.
- Well, he'll be home in a few hours.
- Okay. No. I need to talk to him now.
What's going on?
- I don't want to involve you guys in this.
- Sharon? We're already involved in this.
- Barry-- - No, please.
Just tell us.
- I can't! I just need to talk to him.
Okay, I'll call him,
but he won't answer when he's working.
- Okay, but can you just try? Please?
Okay. I'll call him.
- So, you're really not gonna tell us?
- Barry-- - No, Sharon, look at you.
- You're shaking. - I know! It's a lot!
Hey.
Talk to me.
I can't.
- Well, I know about Denise and the President.
I was at her store when an agent came and got her.
And that ended bad for her.
So, if he's after you, I should know.
No.
He's not answering.
- You should just stay here until he gets home.
- No, I really just-- - Sharon, there's nothing
you can do about it right now.
- Yeah baby, whatever this is, he's right.
There's nothing you can do.
This is Max.
Yes, sir.
- Who was that? - V.P. He wants to see us.
Okay.
- Oh, so you're leaving me here again?
Oh my god.
You'll be fine.
You sure?
Look, you know what to do
if somebody comes through the door.
- Except housekeeping. - She's got that.
Hope you're right.
- Look, I'm sorry Max, I'm just a little bit jumpy, okay?
- Lilly, Kyle is in a bunker at the White House, okay?
What?
- Yes, so if it's him you're worried about--
He can't hurt you.
- I don't want him there. I want him here.
- What's that? - What?
After what he did to me? I want him.
After what he did to you.
Man, that is your kind of woman.
- Max, this is not funny-- - Yeah!
- None of it is funny! - Both of you stop.
Look, we...
- We need to leave. - Okay, go.
Fine.
- Where did he say we were going?
- He didn't. Can we go now? - Yeah, I'll be right down.
- I'm getting real sick of this.
- I'm sorry Mr. Holmes is jealous.
- Yeah well, Mr. Holmes didn't know this was a polygamy!
Sorry about him.
- Hey? - Yeah.
Look at me.
Yeah.
- I know this is a lot for you,
but we're gonna get to the bottom of it.
- And I can have my life back?
Yes.
- And what kind of life will that be, Bobby?
One with me and you.
Hm.
Alright, just go. He's throwing up out there.
Really Max? Really?
- No, it's um... just, just go.
- Alright, I'll be back. Come and lock the door.
Alright.
You know what to do.
Yeah. I know what to do.
- Hey! Holy shit! Can we go now?
- Why do you gotta be such a child?
Why?
Hey.
It's me.
Yeah.
Um... I, uh...
I need your help.
- I already made it. - But I just--
I got it.
- Richard. I'm not gonna poison her.
Yeah, well...
What?
You said you would.
- Look, I'm not going to jail for that wicked old--
Shh, don't say too much.
You know she can walk up on us.
- Well, that's what evil does. Just pops up.
Just stop.
- So, you're really not gonna use this?
- You drink it. - No, I'll pass.
- You see. - What? I don't like this shit.
Priscilla...
It's nasty.
Yeah. Okay.
- And do we know why the Second Lady is coming up here?
I don't know.
- But you do know what it said on the news.
Yeah. I know.
- And doesn't it strike you as strange
that they don't care their son
is just laying in a hospital?
It's not our business.
- She's only doing that to stay out of trouble.
- You know it. - So?
You know he did it.
Yeah, I know.
- And they are equally responsible.
I know that, too.
- See this is just-- - Not our business.
Okay.
But we cannot let them get away with this, Richard.
- We are here to do a job. - How can you be so stoic?
- 'Cause I know what I'm here for.
And I don't?
- Sam has caused you to lose your way.
No.
What Sam has done with her has made me mad,
- but I know what I'm doing. - Yeah?
And you told her that we are not just staff.
No.
That I was not just staff.
- Well, now she doesn't know what to do with you.
Now she's scared to death.
- Is she, though? Is she really?
- Yeah, she is. - Good.
- And the only reason you still have a job
is because she believes in keeping her friends close
and her enemies closer.
Well, whatever the reason.
There you are.
Ma'am.
- Priscilla. - First Lady.
- Richard, I wanted to make sure
you use the Reagan silver.
Reagan silver, got it.
- Okay, great. - Is that all?
Yes.
- As you were. - Yes, ma'am.
Richard?
Will you be serving?
Yes, ma'am.
- Good. That gives me some sense of comfort.
- Ma'am? - Yes?
- The Second Lady is here. - Thank you, Sam.
Don't you look handsome today?
Thank you, ma'am.
- Priscilla, you are a lucky lady.
All this man in this package.
Hm.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
You sure?
I was talking to Richard.
Now you get your ass up out of here!
I can't even believe I gotta deal with this shit!
- I know. I know. We have to be cool.
I'm cool.
There you are.
Hello.
- You look... like you look.
And so do you.
- I love it. Shall we?
- What? - Lunch.
- No, I think I'd rather just stand here.
- Why won't you have lunch? Hm? You don't trust me?
No. Not at all.
Okay, well I'm offended.
Sure you are.
- I mean, I'm not the one who spread all those lies
about me and Hunter.
Hm. That was a good move.
- What's that, dear? - You scapegoating your son.
- No, I wasn't doing that at all.
- Oh no, you weren't? - No.
Hm. How is he, by the way?
- Oh, he's not doing good. It's been a difficult time.
- You... - Me, dear? What?
- Yes, you. You are a complete train wreck.
- Yes. Yes, I have been.
This is... this has been a really difficult ordeal.
- Hm, you know exactly what I mean.
No, dear, I don't.
- Using your son to cover up your crimes?
What, you don't have any shame? None at all?
- Darling, he did it. And I have the proof.
Hm. Do you?
Yes.
Hm.
So, what other proof do you have? Hm?
- Oh, you mean the things from your vetting process?
- You want to play that game? Yes.
- Well, let's not talk so quickly about that.
Why beat around the bush?
- Let's talk about what you said.
Okay. Fine.
My son has a serious problem.
We were getting the information
just as you were getting it.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- Well, I have proof that you've known about it
for some time, because of Hunter.
Mister President.
- Hunter did it. - You're testing me.
Hm, yes, yes I am.
- Well, I wanted to bring you here to simply say back off,
get in line, and say that you were wrong.
Or I'll have you and your husband,
and those nappy-headed ass kids of yours murdered.
You are so bold.
Hm.
- I've been recording this conversation the whole time.
- Honey, you don't lie well. - You think that I'm lying?
- I know you don't know this, because you're Second Lady,
but there are so many scanners here
that let us know these types of things.
- Hm. Well, when I become First Lady,
I will run this house,
and I will know everything. Mm-hmm.
You will never be First Lady.
You wanna bet?
You'll be dead, honey.
This is going to be fun.
So much fun.
Tea, ma'am?
- Hm. You know, I think I will pass on that tea.
- Oh, no. You have to go so soon?
- Yes. Because you know I can't stand a fake-ass bitch.
Oh.
What's your name, again?
Richard, ma'am.
- And how long have you been working here, Richard?
Many years, ma'am.
Well, I look forward
to meeting the rest of the staff,
if they're just as pleasant as you, when I move in.
I'm sure you've been to hell and back
with this bitch. Good day.
Yes, ma'am.
- Hey. - Hey.
- It's really messed up with the kid.
Yeah, it is.
I'm sorry you were with him.
- Uh, yeah, man. - They say anything to you?
Who?
- The President, First Lady, and Chief of Staff?
Nothing, no, they understood.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
- Okay. - It's crazy.
- How's he doing? - I don't know.
- Okay, but they don't really seem to care too much?
- Shit, not at all. - Really?
- No. Oh, he had me take him out to see some chick.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Well, that's crazy. - Yeah.
What are you doing?
- Have you heard from Agent Kyle?
No.
- The Chief of Staff hasn't heard from him.
- What? - Yes.
- Did he check in? - Yeah he did,
but he only checked in at the first and second gate.
- Did he, uh... when? - Yesterday.
- Well--
- Afternoon. - Hi.
- What are you doing here? - What do you mean, sir?
Shouldn't you be on leave?
Well, they want me here, sir.
- You were in charge of him and they want you here?
- Yes, sir. - Okay. Well, now go home.
- Sir... - Yes?
- The Chief of Staff has me on an assignment.
And what is that?
- Uh well, have you heard from Agent Kyle?
- No. - No.
Well, he checked in at the first and second gate,
but he never checked in here,
so I'm running the footage back.
- No, no, no. No, no, no.
What you're doing is you're going home.
- But sir, I-- - Go home.
Yes, sir. But uh...
The Chief of Staff is not gonna like this.
Well, I will deal with him.
And what about Agent Kyle?
- I will look for him. - If you say so.
- I do. Now go. - Yes, sir.
- Come in.
- Sir?
- Yeah? - Agent Griplyn, sir.
What about Agent Griplyn?
- I sent him home, sir. - What? No. No. No, no, no,
I need him here.
- Sir, with the problem with the First Son--
- Sorry, Sam, did you just hear what I said?
- I can help you find Agent Kyle, sir.
What?
- He told me you were looking for him.
- No. No, no, no, no. I need him.
I want him here, I want him to do it, you understand?
- Sir, it is protocol that when the member of the--
- I don't give a shit about your protocol!
You bring him here and you bring him here right damn now!
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
- Sir, may I? - Yeah, what? Hm?
- It's hard for me to lead my guys
when I'm constantly being undermined.
- Undermined, wow. - Yes, sir.
It would be helpful if you would back up my decisions.
- Sam, you're happy working here, right?
- Yes, sir. - You sure?
Yes sir, I am.
- Than I suggest you do what the hell I tell you to do, hm?
Yes, sir.
- Thank you for visiting.
- What the hell are you doing here?
What?
Next on The Oval.
- I actually have Kyle. - I want him.
- What do you want him for? - I can make him talk.
- Kareem went to the police. - What?
- I told him-- - Should not have done that!
- Is there anything I can get you?
- Your husband. - Well, you enjoy that.
Let me out of here.
It's not working!
Damn it.
- What the ---- are you doing?
