- MAN: Previously on The Oval...
- It has been a long time since I heard from
- Kyle and I need you to find him. - Yes, sir.
- Kyle is in a bunker at the White House.
I want him here.
- You told her that we are not just staff.
That I was not just staff.
- Get in line and say that you were wrong.
Or I'll have you and your husband murdered.
- What the hell are you doing here?!
Hello?
Sir.
- What the -- are you doing here?
I was, um, I was just, uh...
You were just what? Speak up.
- The Chief of Staff, Sir. Just wanted me
to come over here and check on you.
- The Chief of Staff? - That's right.
Wanted you
to come here
and check on me?
Yes, sir.
Well, what did he want?
- Just wanted to make sure you were in here.
- I'll let him know. - Wait.
He just, uh,
didn't think to call me?
Just sent you instead?
Yes, sir.
- You know, I'm really sorry about Ellie.
Yeah, me too.
She was a great girl.
She was.
Yeah.
We had some great times.
Sir.
- There's this, uh... There was this one time.
I'm on a huge conference call,
Joint Chiefs, everybody and she's, uh...
- She's going to town - - me under the table.
And I've got my, I got my hand on that, on that mute button.
I mean, I just, uh...
She ever do that to you?
She ever give you a little BJ Sando
in the old cubicle back there?
What? No? Oh, that's right.
She said she wasn't into kids, she was into men.
I'm thinking there was some daddy issues.
I don't know, it could be.
What, you got nothing to say?
No, Sir, I don't.
Hmm, interesting.
- Wait! Did I say you were dismissed?
Where the -- you think you're going?
You're not going anywhere
until I tell you
you're dismissed.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the President and First Lady.
- I'll let you get back to work, sir.
You'll do nothing of the sort.
You'll just stand there
since you came in here
to see where I was.
I see, sir.
I'll go ahead and let the Chief of Staff know that you're here.
Right where I thought you'd be.
When I dismiss you.
I should get going.
- The hell's wrong with you, kid?
I said what the hell's wrong with you?
- Hunter, this bitch is trying me.
I mean, really...
What are you doing here?
I think he was just leaving.
Go on.
Are you hard of hearing?
- What the hell is wrong with him?
Apparently...
Donald sent him to check on me.
Why didn't he just call?
- It's a really good question, Victoria.
Why didn't he?
- Well, I'll talk to Donald about that.
About what?
Sending him in to you.
Why?
Honey, you're an asshole.
And I know you'll torture that kid.
- Guilty as charged, but so will you.
What? Please
- All you do is torture him and me
and everybody else.
- Well, how else will I enjoy my day?
What can I do for you?
- That bitch of a Second Lady was here.
- And? - She's not backing down.
- I told you. they're like Girl Scouts
or Boy Scouts or nerd scouts or something.
- We have to come up with another plan.
Good luck.
- Well, I talked to Jason's doctor.
- And? - He said that he's improving.
Really?
- Yeah. - Wow.
- He may even regain all consciousness.
Well, that's a miracle.
Is it?
What are you saying?
- Look, I want the little -- to live.
But I don't want him to get well too soon.
- Okay, I'm, I'm, I'm not-- I'm not listening to this.
- Hunter! - No.
- He could ruin our plot to spin this.
- Do you hear yourself right now?
Don't you dare judge me.
You were just applauding me when
I was on that podium spinning this shit.
Victoria, do you have no bottom?
Yeah, I do.
You just can't reach it.
- Okay, I don't wanna listen to this anymore.
I'm done.
- We have to make a decision about
how soon he gets better, Hunter.
What are you saying?
- You leave everything to me when it comes to these kids.
Then you pretend it was all me
when you know damn well you wanted to do it.
- I don't know what you're talking about,
and I don't want any part of it.
I want nothing.
- Okay, all right, you go with that.
Okay.
- Give it to me. - What?
- Give me the -- gun. - Okay, Alonzo...
- I looked at the footage over and over again.
You bent over for something.
You're not slick.
Where is it?
I don't know.
- You give it to me right now or I will walk down there
and tell the Chief of Staff--
Okay, okay, calm down, Alonzo.
Calm down.
- Do you want to go to jail? Do you?
No.
Where is it?
I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you trying to do?
- Look, I wasn't doing anything. Alright?
- I just wanted to protect myself. - From who?
- From the people that they sent after me.
- Allan... - I'm sorry, okay?
- When we get out of here tonight,
we will have a long talk.
- Okay. - You have lost your damn mind.
- You need to learn what clean is
or don't come back to work.
Now go.
What are you doing up here?
I needed to see you, ma'am.
- Everybody needs to see me, honey.
What do you want?
It's Kyle, ma'am.
What did she do?
Ma'am, please, huh?
What is it?
Sam.
Sam sent Grip home, ma'am.
Why?
- Because of the incident that happened with your son.
- Well, he shouldn't have sent him home for that.
Yeah, I know that.
That's why I told him to bring his ass right back here.
- And you came up here to tell me that?
- No, ma'am, I actually came to talk to you.
Then talk, girl.
It's Kyle, he's been missing.
He came into the White House, but we haven't seen him since.
- What? - Yeah.
And this is my problem, why?
- Well, I would think it would be your problem
because of all that he knows.
Where is he?
- There's a little bit more to this story because, you see,
I believe that Sam is working with the Vice President,
and they have Kyle captured somewhere in this White House.
- What? - Yes.
Are you sure, Donald?
I think I'm right.
Well,
thinking you're right and being sure are two different things.
- Well, I need you to distract him.
You're his boss.
Yeah, but you're his...
I'm his what?
- Ma'am, I need you to distract him when Grip gets here.
Can you do that for me?
Have him come see you.
You're pretty good at that, right? Yeah.
Get out of here.
Here.
What is that?
Just take a hit.
It'll calm you down.
Barry, I'm not smoking that.
Okay.
Can you put that out?
Seriously?
- Yeah, I don't like it when you smoke.
Okay. But you do need to take
the edge off a little bit.
- If you knew what I was going through,
you'd let me have this edge.
- Well, how can I know if you won't tell me?
It's not a good idea.
Sharon, you should tell me.
I already have an idea.
- No, you don't understand. This is dangerous.
Sharon, do you...
Do you understand how much I love you?
- Please don't. - No, I'm telling the truth.
- You get all in your feelings when you start smoking.
That doesn't mean it's a lie.
Okay.
Sharon, I do love you.
- All right. - All right.
And I know you love me too.
- I know I love you enough to leave you alone.
Am I that bad?
- No, really. Am I... Am I that bad?
You can be.
I can be good.
When Callie was here, things were good.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, before Ruth took her,
before all this craziness,
things were good.
- If you say so. - You say so too.
- Okay, It could be good at times.
See?
- At times. - Okay.
- But we got to have more to hold on to than that.
- I know that, but-- - No, no "buts".
Alright, just stop. Just stop.
- You wanted to see me, sir? - Yes!
What is it?
- Why'd you send that kid down here?
- Kid? I'm not sure what kid you're
- talking-- - The kid, the kid that came...
- The kid in the office. - Allan, sir?
- Yes. Why did you send him down here?
Oh yeah, yeah. Um...
- He said you sent him down here.
He said you had something that you wanted to find out.
What exactly did he say?
- He didn't say anything, really.
He sort of was... was kind of weird,
kind of aggressive, and very uncomfortable.
- Okay. I'm sorry about that.
You know what?
I'll talk to him, hmm?
All right.
He'll definitely not want to come back, that's for sure.
- And why is that, sir? Hmm?
- I talked a lot about Ellie's -- job skills.
- Okay, did you say it in those exact words, sir?
- The best defense is a good offense.
Donald look, what, uh, what did you want? What is it?
- Okay, perhaps you shouldn't have said that, sir, hmm?
- Noted. What do you want?
I wanted to manage this, sir,
and I tried to manage it as best I could,
and I'm still managing it,
but I just wanted to tell you something.
It's Kyle, sir.
Yeah, he's been-- he's been MIA
for about 30 hours now.
- Yeah. - What?
- Yeah. - Well, where is he?
- Sir, listen, I didn't want you to worry, okay?
I just wanted to let you know.
- If you didn't want me to worry,
you wouldn't have told me, Donald.
- Sir, it's gonna be fine. Trust me.
- It doesn't sound like it's going to be fine.
Donald, listen to me.
Don't you lie to me. Listen to me.
Look at me.
Yes, sir.
Is he with the Vice President?
No! No, no, sir.
- Don't even think that, okay? - Donald...
- He's not, sir. - How do you know?
- Sir, he's not. Okay?
How can you be sure?
I'm telling you he's not.
Because I know him, okay?
He's not doing that.
You understand?
He turns on us, we're done.
- No, sir, he won't. Okay?
I want you to get that out of your head right now.
- I know-- - He can fill in all the blanks.
- Sir, listen to me right now. Look at me, okay?
I know-- Sir, I know Kyle. He's not doing that, trust me.
- All right. - Okay?
- But you don't know where he is?
We're working on it, okay?
Is he alive?
Sir, I'm on it.
Trust me.
We got to find him, okay?
No, we got to find him now.
- Sir, I will take care of it, okay?
I don't want you to worry.
I just wanted you to know, okay?
Trust me. Sir?
- Okay, okay. - Alright.
Keep an eye on the kid.
I got an eye on that, sir.
- Have you ever been here before?
No.
It's nice.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- What are you doing? - What?
No, put it back.
Are you good?
What do you mean, "am I good"?
Just that. Are you good?
I'm fine.
- Look at me. - What?
- She's got her spell on you. - I'm fine.
- Right there. You know it's gonna be hard
- to focus-- - I know what you're getting at.
I got it. Don't worry about me.
I'd love to not have to.
- Gentlemen. - Hello, sir.
Sir, ma'am.
Can I get you anything?
- No, we're fine, thank you. - Thank you.
- Okay, let's get down to business.
Yes, sir.
- We wanted to know if we could get their son moved.
Ma'am, you can't do that.
We know.
- We're worried he won't make it.
- The doctors are saying that he's doing better.
- Well, that's a good thing, right?
Not necessarily.
Excuse me?
We're worried that if he
starts to get better, he starts talking.
They may not want that.
- You think they would do something to their son?
To protect themselves?
They'd do anything.
- Well Max, you worked with him the longest, so...
Yeah, and I didn't think they
would do what they did to me, so I don't doubt he's in danger.
But he has the detail on him.
- Yes, he does. - Well, can't you just find
somebody else to put on him to watch his detail?
No, there's no way, sir.
Are you sure?
He's right.
Well, we need to find a way
to let the public know that he's doing better.
- No offense, but they don't give a shit about the public.
They only care about what the party believes.
You're right about that.
- So we have to change minds in the party.
- Okay, that's going to be next to impossible because they're
getting so much of their agenda passed.
- It always goes back to politics.
Not for all of us.
Sir, I know you're a good man
but you're fighting evil. You must meet it with evil.
- We're fighting for what's right.
- Well, I don't, I don't believe--
- But we know how to do battle in the dark.
- Okay, so just flat out tell us.
Tell you what?
- Is this about doing what's right
or about you being President?
It's about both.
- Doing what's right will make him President.
And you First Lady.
Well, yes.
Well,
we have the mattress top as evidence,
but all that is nothing now that they've laid it on Jason.
- Well, is he capable of doing that?
- I hate to tell you, but yes, he is.
So they are telling the truth.
I think so.
Partially, at least.
I see.
- But the things that Kyle and Donald have done,
we have another chance there.
- I actually have Kyle. - I know you do.
I want him.
What do you want him for?
I can make him talk.
We don't torture.
That's sweet, but,
sir, that is the only thing he'll understand.
Okay.
We have him in a bunker at the White House,
so you're going to have to get him out of there first.
- Sam has him? - Yes.
And how do they not know that?
- The Vice President has a secure area
that's separate from the President.
- We need to get him out of there.
Yes, we do.
Well, how do we do that?
Send us in.
No, that's too risky.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Do you trust your guys to do it? - No.
- Exactly. - Okay, then we got to go in.
- Okay, but what if they detain you before you can get him out?
Sam can help organize that.
Okay, but we think that Donald
is on to Sam, so he'll have to be careful.
Okay. Let's talk to him.
Okay, but not on the phone.
I'll arrange it.
Okay.
Well, thank you for coming
and all that you're doing for our country.
- Wait. Let's discuss all the evidence.
- We were going to meet with Diane about it
before she was killed.
- Okay, yeah. Let's get it all in one room, and then we'll come
back here and we'll go over it before I meet with the senators.
Okay.
Allan.
Yes, sir?
Come.
Did you go to the Oval?
- Um... - You got to talk.
Yes, I did, sir.
Why?
- I wanted to-- - "I wanted to" is not
an answer, boy.
- Um, I wanted to see the President, sir.
- You're still not saying anything.
I wanted to talk to him.
About what?
About Ellie.
What?
Yeah.
I, um...
I just wanted to, you know,
make sure he knows what's going on.
So you went there?
Yes, sir. Yeah.
Why would you do that, hmm?
I just wanted to make sure he
was aware that Ellie's gone, that she's dead.
He's aware.
Yes, sir.
Look at me.
Are you sure that's the only reason why you went there?
- Yes, sir, that's the only reason.
And what did he say?
Not much.
- Boy, don't you sit here and lie to my face, I swear.
- Yeah, he didn't say anything much.
I mean, he was just very, um...condescending.
And do you know why that is?
- Yeah, because I stepped out of line.
- Yes. Yes, you did. And don't you ever, ever
do that again. You understand me?
- Yeah, I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again.
- Okay? - Sorry's not gonna buy that.
- I'm sorry. - Go to your office.
- I don't believe your ass as far as I can throw you.
- Sir? - Yeah?
The, uh...the First Lady would like to see you.
- What is it? What does she want?
I'm not sure, sir.
- Well, call her back and ask her.
Sir...
- Are you afraid of her or something?
No, sir.
You can call her back.
Matter of fact, go up and ask her.
Just go up and check on it, see what she wants.
- Well, she asked specifically for you, sir.
Yes, sir. I'm on my way.
Agent Griplin.
Sir.
I got your call.
Yeah.
- So, uh, what do you want to talk about?
- There's a lot I want to talk about,
but not right now. You can sign back in.
- Oh, can I? - Don't play games with me.
Yes, sir.
- Chief of Staff wants to talk to you.
Yes, sir.
- Ma'am? - Yes.
You needed something?
- I needed Sam. - He's, um...
He's, he's what?
- He's on an assignment with the Chief of Staff, ma'am.
Are you lying to me?
No, ma'am.
- No, you are, you are. Is he avoiding me?
- No, ma'am. He would never do that.
You're so full of shit.
No, ma'am, I'm not.
Just get out of my face.
Yes, ma'am.
- When you find Sam, you tell him
I want to see him, and I want to see him now.
Yes, ma'am.
- Ma'am, I was just leaving for the day.
Is there anything I can get you?
Yes. Your husband.
Well, you enjoy that.
Is it over between you two?
Yes, ma'am. So have at it.
- Have at it? Huh. - Yes, ma'am.
You give up that easy, hmm?
With that big old, huge black girl booty,
I think you'd put up more of a fight.
But no, ma'am.
I know my value and some things just aren't worth it.
- I'm going to find out how you know my father.
Okay.
- I will. And when I do--
Ma'am, do you need anything?
No.
Great.
But, you know, I really do hope your son makes a full recovery.
Do you now?
Of course.
Is that a threat?
- Now, why would that be a threat?
Hmm. I just sense something.
Well, you have a good night.
You wanted to see me, ma'am?
Look how cold she just got.
Ma'am?
Your wife.
Is everything okay?
Your wife just attacked me.
Ma'am.
No, she didn't.
But what would you do if she did?
Ma'am.
What if she slapped me?
What would you do?
I would have to do my job.
And what would that be?
To keep you safe, ma'am.
You promise?
Yes.
Okay.
Where are you going, ma'am?
To the kitchen.
Ma'am.
What?
- Why are you going to the kitchen?
- She was leaving. - Victoria.
Look at you.
Don't.
- What do you think I'm going to do, hmm?
- You were going just to provoke her.
No, no, no, I'm not.
- I know you're not, 'cause you're staying here.
I missed that from you.
What is that, ma'am?
All of this forcefulness.
Ma'am...
I really have to get going.
Oh, I need you.
- Victoria, I'm not playing here.
- Neither am I. - I really have to get
back to work, Victoria.
- What's the hurry? - Ma'am...
We need to talk.
Ma'am...
- You're not leaving until I'm done.
Yes, ma'am.
- Come in.
- Sir? - Yes.
- You wanted to see me? - Yeah.
You know what? Don't, don't worry about Sam.
Yes, sir.
- Now, did you find anything out about Kyle?
- Yes, sir. He checked in, but we still--
- No, no, no, I know that.
But where the hell is he? That's what I need to know.
- Well, sir, I traced every camera I could except the...
Bunker.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
- Here, take this. - I'll check it out, sir.
Yes.
Wait, why would he be down there?
I'm not sure, sir.
Okay, well, you go and you let
me know as soon as you find something out. You understand?
Yes, sir.
But you may want to keep Sam busy.
- Oh, don't worry. I got Sam.
I'm hungry, Sam.
Kyle!
- Grip! - What the hell?
It's that damn Sam.
- He did this? - Yeah.
Let me out of here.
It's not working.
Damn it. He scrambled it.
What does that mean?
- It means that every time the door closes, the code changes.
- So, how do I get you out of here?
- How did you know I was in here?
- We saw surveillance of you coming onto the grounds.
Yeah, it's all Sam.
- Okay, what do you want me to do?
Hey Grip,
is Donald looking for me?
Yeah, you know he is.
Yeah, yeah I do.
Okay, so what should I do?
- First of all, you can't let Sam know that you know
I'm in here.
- Okay? - And
we got to get him alone somehow.
- Can Donald get you the code to get out of here?
- Yeah, yeah, he can get it for me, but Sam's going to know.
I'm sure that it's connected to his tracker.
Okay, I'll be back.
- And Grip, hey, hey, just stay calm.
All right?
I got it.
- I am going to burn his ass, and I mean burn it.
Wait, Grip.
Give me a weapon.
Both of them, yeah.
Oooh, you have messed with the wrong one.
- Hey! - Hey.
How was your day?
It was long.
It's about to get longer.
What is it?
Sharon's here.
What's going on?
She came in the door shaking.
Where is she?
- You sit down, I'll get her. - Okay.
Sharon? Richard's here.
- Hey. - Hey.
I need to talk to you.
- Well, whatever it is, she ain't telling me.
Just, just give us a minute.
- Dad, I really think I should be in this conversation.
- Just a minute. - Come on, Barry. Come on.
This is crazy.
Come on.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
Did he come again?
Yes.
Where?
To the pharmacy.
- Kyle? - No, the President.
- What? - Yes.
The President was there?
- Yes, he was there at the pharmacy.
How in the hell did he...
I don't know. I have no idea.
But me and Dale saw him there.
- What the hell? - I know, I don't understand.
What did he say?
- He said that Kareem went to the police.
What?
Last night.
I told him.
- Sharon, you should not have done that.
Now I know that.
This is going to be bad.
I know.
Listen...
we haven't seen him since. We haven't heard anything either.
Are you serious?
And he mentioned you.
He did what?
- The President, he mentioned you.
What did he say?
- He said that he knew everything.
He said that he knew that I was
dating Barry and that I was living here.
- Sharon, don't you say anything else to anyone.
Okay, I won't.
Where is Dale?
- He said he's going back to the apartment.
- Okay. All right, look,
you call him and you tell him I'm going to pick him up.
Why?
- Look, I need all of you to stay here.
Are you sure?
Yes.
There is strength in numbers.
But what about Kareem?
I don't know.
I'll call Sam and see what he can find out.
You think they killed him?!
No.
- No, but Barry said that they killed Denise and... Oh my God.
- Look, I'm going to be honest with you, Sharon,
I don't know.
What?!
So he can just have me like a dog?!
No, no, no, he will not.
- I can't believe this. I cannot believe this.
Sharon, it's okay.
- It doesn't feel like it's okay.
It's okay.
- I just don't understand. I just, I went there once.
I went to the freaking White House once, and he just saw me.
He went crazy.
- Just call Dale and tell him that I'm going to pick him up.
Right. Okay.
- Call him now. - Okay.
Okay.
- Hello?
Hey.
- Hey. - Um,
Mr. Richard is on his way to come and get you.
What?
- Yeah, he thinks that we should all stay here.
- Okay. - Yeah.
So get your things, okay?
Okay.
Okay, he's on his way.
I'm here.
Okay, bye.
Kareem is here.
Let me talk to him!
- She's in here talking to Kareem!
Boy, I said sit your ass down!
No, no, no!
My wife has information.
Also Richard Halsen has information.
- All the evidence, including Kyle, here tonight.
And then we go over it all
before you meet with the senators.
- He's in the Vice President's bunker.
I want you to give Kyle a gun.
When I get out of here,
I am going to wipe you and your wife
from the face of the earth.
