00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,875
[ominous music playing]
2
00:00:18,916 --> 00:00:21,582
[reporter 1] Monica Kidder
was found dead in her cell
3
00:00:21,583 --> 00:00:24,457
by apparent suicide within the past hour.
4
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:26,624
{\an8}An extraordinary final twist
in a day that has already...
5
00:00:26,625 --> 00:00:28,582
{\an8}[reporter 2] ...as the nation has learned
6
00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:31,415
{\an8}that one of its most successful
businesspeople was behind
7
00:00:31,416 --> 00:00:34,165
{\an8}one of the most horrific attacks
in the history of this country.
8
00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:38,165
{\an8}She is now believed to have orchestrated
the massive Zero Day attack
9
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:39,665
{\an8}in apparent retaliation...
10
00:00:39,666 --> 00:00:43,582
{\an8}Push a quote from an FBI source
familiar with the investigation.
11
00:00:43,583 --> 00:00:44,707
Got it.
12
00:00:44,708 --> 00:00:49,707
"The Bureau had become increasingly
concerned with Kidder's radical rhetoric
13
00:00:49,708 --> 00:00:51,749
in the weeks before Zero Day."
14
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:53,999
[reporter 1] The only possible explanation
I can think of
15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,790
is that Kidder tonight
opted to end her own life,
16
00:00:56,791 --> 00:00:59,875
as she must've concluded the evidence
against her was overwhelming.
17
00:01:00,666 --> 00:01:03,291
- I think this is as close to a confession...
- Did we do this?
18
00:01:04,708 --> 00:01:06,375
{\an8}- Did we?
- [Richard] We?
19
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:08,333
We didn't do anything.
20
00:01:09,791 --> 00:01:13,499
And if you're worried about the death
of a autistic sociopath,
21
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:14,999
you haven't been paying attention.
22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,124
Jesus Christ.
23
00:01:16,125 --> 00:01:18,499
This only breaks our way
if the trail stops at her.
24
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:20,083
Please, just shut the fuck up, Jerry.
25
00:01:20,666 --> 00:01:24,624
Please. Does anybody
actually think that this is going to play?
26
00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:26,499
That Monica Kidder
is the end of all of this?
27
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:30,916
She had the means and the motive.
She did do the things she's accused of.
28
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,415
The rest is becoming truth.
That's all that matters.
29
00:01:33,416 --> 00:01:36,957
It's not the truth.
My father is not gonna go for that.
30
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:39,082
- Do you know something?
- I know him.
31
00:01:39,083 --> 00:01:42,124
So long as there's a single loose thread,
he's gonna keep pulling at it.
32
00:01:42,125 --> 00:01:46,208
- We have this under control.
- Have we ever had this under control?
33
00:01:47,208 --> 00:01:49,499
One minute of system shock,
that's what you said.
34
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,124
A few months with the right power
in the right hands
35
00:01:52,125 --> 00:01:53,999
and the country's back on track
by Christmas.
36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,040
You have been wrong
about every single thing.
37
00:01:57,041 --> 00:01:59,624
I'll be the first to admit
that things have not gone to plan.
38
00:01:59,625 --> 00:02:01,624
- [chuckles sarcastically]
- But here we are.
39
00:02:01,625 --> 00:02:04,333
And we have to remember
what we set out to accomplish.
40
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:07,583
To cut off the political fringe
on both sides.
41
00:02:08,125 --> 00:02:11,707
To expose a vulnerability
that has been mistaken for freedom.
42
00:02:11,708 --> 00:02:15,290
To restore a shaken faith
in our ability to govern.
43
00:02:15,291 --> 00:02:18,415
And despite your father's
every attempt to fuck it all up,
44
00:02:18,416 --> 00:02:20,833
we are finally close
to being able to do all of it.
45
00:02:21,416 --> 00:02:23,207
What we need to do is take a breath.
46
00:02:23,208 --> 00:02:26,624
Come tomorrow, there will be
no more loose threads to pull.
47
00:02:26,625 --> 00:02:29,708
- It's being handled.
- Handled. Like Monica Kidder.
48
00:02:31,041 --> 00:02:32,375
We have to come clean.
49
00:02:32,958 --> 00:02:35,207
Anything else we do at this point
will make it worse.
50
00:02:35,208 --> 00:02:38,208
I'm going to remind you, Alex,
that we have partners in this.
51
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:42,291
And their idea of coming clean
is not something you want to contemplate.
52
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:48,458
I know you're struggling with this.
We all are.
53
00:02:49,041 --> 00:02:52,583
But we owe it
to the American people to finish this.
54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,915
I'll call a car and get you home.
55
00:02:56,916 --> 00:02:58,958
[dramatic music playing]
56
00:03:00,125 --> 00:03:01,166
No. Um...
57
00:03:03,041 --> 00:03:04,541
No, I'll get my own ride.
58
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,250
- [dramatic music continues]
- [door opens, shuts]
59
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:15,749
[reporter 3] We've just heard
from a source within the FBI.
60
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:17,749
I'm gonna quote it
because I want to get it right.
61
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:21,457
"The Bureau had been increasingly
concerned about Kidder's radical rhetoric
62
00:03:21,458 --> 00:03:23,832
in the weeks before the Zero Day attack,
63
00:03:23,833 --> 00:03:28,040
with her oft-stated concerns regarding
the proposed regulation of Panoply..."
64
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,750
How long have they been out for?
65
00:03:30,458 --> 00:03:33,500
Then find whoever's in charge
of maintaining the cell cameras.
66
00:03:34,541 --> 00:03:35,624
He's right here.
67
00:03:35,625 --> 00:03:37,874
Uh, I'm putting you on speaker,
Mr. Pennington.
68
00:03:37,875 --> 00:03:39,165
Go ahead.
69
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:42,124
Now that we're in Panoply's system,
we can see exactly how Kidder modified
70
00:03:42,125 --> 00:03:45,332
the NSA's design
and how she spread the malware so widely.
71
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:48,290
Kidder's apps,
they're on 80% of the phones in America.
72
00:03:48,291 --> 00:03:50,790
So they push the bug out
via automatic updates.
73
00:03:50,791 --> 00:03:53,374
From there, it jumps to any device
that it comes into contact with
74
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:55,874
via Bluetooth, uh, USB, anything.
75
00:03:55,875 --> 00:03:58,540
The coding itself
is extraordinarily elegant.
76
00:03:58,541 --> 00:04:01,624
It has an AI engine
that lets it learn new operating systems.
77
00:04:01,625 --> 00:04:03,707
Could she really have done this
on her own?
78
00:04:03,708 --> 00:04:05,290
[Tim] She has the technical expertise.
79
00:04:05,291 --> 00:04:07,999
She had the help
of a few hardcore loyalists.
80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,875
- No question she was capable.
- No, that's not what I was asking.
81
00:04:11,875 --> 00:04:14,374
There's no reason to doubt
this isn't exactly what it looks like.
82
00:04:14,375 --> 00:04:18,124
Sociopathic billionaire doesn't like
Uncle Sam taking away her toys,
83
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:20,207
so she tears the whole house down.
84
00:04:20,208 --> 00:04:23,958
And then she conveniently hangs herself
before anybody can ask her any questions.
85
00:04:24,541 --> 00:04:27,207
- Give us a call every hour with an update.
- [Tim] Yes, sir.
86
00:04:27,208 --> 00:04:29,290
Everybody seems to be
getting on board with this.
87
00:04:29,291 --> 00:04:31,666
Last night, you said
that she was too smart.
88
00:04:32,416 --> 00:04:34,332
To take this kind of a risk, yeah.
89
00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:36,916
- [phone vibrating]
- It's Alex.
90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,250
- [Alex] Mom.
- [Sheila] Your father's here too.
91
00:04:40,875 --> 00:04:45,250
Um, I'm coming up to the house.
I need to talk to you, to... both of you.
92
00:04:46,375 --> 00:04:48,707
- What's going on? You okay?
- [Alex] I'm fine.
93
00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:52,000
I'm fine.
I... I... I'll explain when I see you.
94
00:04:54,833 --> 00:04:55,708
Be careful.
95
00:04:58,958 --> 00:05:00,583
[dramatic sting]
96
00:05:01,958 --> 00:05:03,665
Alex. Alex.
97
00:05:03,666 --> 00:05:06,165
[ominous music playing]
98
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:09,041
[static buzzing]
99
00:05:10,458 --> 00:05:12,290
[woman] Code orange! Code orange!
100
00:05:12,291 --> 00:05:14,375
- [electronic whirring]
- [indistinct chatter]
101
00:05:15,833 --> 00:05:17,749
[indistinct chatter]
102
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:19,374
[machines beeping]
103
00:05:19,375 --> 00:05:21,165
- [beeping stops]
- [man] What about now?
104
00:05:21,166 --> 00:05:24,165
[ominous music continues]
105
00:05:24,166 --> 00:05:26,625
- [music fades]
- [watch ticking]
106
00:05:27,541 --> 00:05:28,375
That's a minute.
107
00:05:28,958 --> 00:05:31,750
- [Sheila] Nothing's coming back on.
- [Tom] Sir, ma'am.
108
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:35,124
We're bringing the cars around front.
I'm afraid we need to relocate you.
109
00:05:35,125 --> 00:05:36,999
That's ridiculous.
The generator's gonna kick in.
110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,207
[Tom] There's been a threat.
111
00:05:38,208 --> 00:05:40,540
I was on my way to brief you
when this happened.
112
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:42,124
To this location, specifically.
113
00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:44,540
- [Sheila] What kind of threat?
- Extremist, ma'am.
114
00:05:44,541 --> 00:05:46,499
The crowd outside's
already getting frothy.
115
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,499
Motion sensors, cameras, they're all down.
116
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:52,083
There's no guarantee they'll work
even with power. We need to not be here.
117
00:05:53,916 --> 00:05:54,999
[Tom] Let's go.
118
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,625
[dramatic music playing]
119
00:06:01,666 --> 00:06:02,957
[man 1] Police stations are down.
120
00:06:02,958 --> 00:06:04,749
- [Tim] What do we got?
- [man 2] We're compromised.
121
00:06:04,750 --> 00:06:07,457
Power grid, cellular networks,
FAA, mass transit.
122
00:06:07,458 --> 00:06:09,915
It's the same scope and scale,
only it's persistent this time.
123
00:06:09,916 --> 00:06:12,790
Not the same. This time,
we know exactly how this bug works.
124
00:06:12,791 --> 00:06:14,499
- Where are we on the next patch?
- [woman] We just started.
125
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,624
Last update,
the team was at least a day away.
126
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:18,291
- Tell them they've got an hour.
- Sir?!
127
00:06:18,958 --> 00:06:21,874
Not for every system, just the grid.
Let's get the lights back on,
128
00:06:21,875 --> 00:06:23,500
then transportation systems.
129
00:06:24,083 --> 00:06:26,749
We are gonna troubleshoot this
the old-fashioned way.
130
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:28,332
One fail point at a time.
131
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:30,750
- [dramatic music continues]
- Right this way. Watch your step.
132
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:39,749
[George] What's the plan?
133
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:41,999
The closest secure facility.
134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,790
National Guard training base
in Cortland, 20-minute drive.
135
00:06:44,791 --> 00:06:47,291
- [dramatic music continues]
- [indistinct yelling]
136
00:06:49,708 --> 00:06:52,374
Lock him up! Fuck George Mullen!
137
00:06:52,375 --> 00:06:54,000
Lock him up! Fuck...
138
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:57,958
We're... getting through that?
139
00:06:58,958 --> 00:07:00,083
We have no choice, sir.
140
00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:01,832
Do it carefully.
141
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:03,415
[Tom] All right, clear a path, guys.
142
00:07:03,416 --> 00:07:04,583
Alex.
143
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:06,082
We'll find her.
144
00:07:06,083 --> 00:07:08,374
[crowd continues] Lock him up!
Fuck George Mullen!
145
00:07:08,375 --> 00:07:11,165
Lock him up! Fuck George Mullen!
146
00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:13,499
Stand clear of the driveway!
147
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,999
[crowd] Lock him up! Fuck George Mullen!
148
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,125
Lock him up! Fuck George Mullen!
149
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,083
- Open the gates.
- [agent] Opening.
150
00:07:25,666 --> 00:07:28,250
- Tear gas on standby.
- No. No tear gas.
151
00:07:28,833 --> 00:07:29,957
That's negative on tear gas.
152
00:07:29,958 --> 00:07:31,790
[clamoring]
153
00:07:31,791 --> 00:07:34,040
[clamoring continues]
154
00:07:34,041 --> 00:07:36,582
[man 1] Push the line back!
Out of the way!
155
00:07:36,583 --> 00:07:37,666
[man 2] Hey! Hey!
156
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:40,749
Hold the perimeter, guys.
157
00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:43,207
[agent] We can't hold it!
They're breaking through!
158
00:07:43,208 --> 00:07:44,874
[clamoring continues]
159
00:07:44,875 --> 00:07:47,957
- [Tom] Guys, hold the perimeter.
- [agent] Negative! Perimeter breached!
160
00:07:47,958 --> 00:07:50,541
[clamoring continues]
161
00:07:54,208 --> 00:07:56,374
[indistinct yelling]
162
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,290
- Keep moving.
- Don't run them over.
163
00:07:58,291 --> 00:08:01,166
- Well, we need to push through this.
- You can't, Tom.
164
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:04,582
- [grunts]
- It's just a bottle.
165
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:06,791
We lost sight of you guys. Can you exit?
166
00:08:07,291 --> 00:08:09,415
- [loud explosion]
- [glass shatters]
167
00:08:09,416 --> 00:08:11,083

00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:13,165
[man] Fuck you!
169
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:14,666
[clamoring continues]
170
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:19,582
- Back up! Everybody move!
- [gunshots]
171
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:22,250
[clamoring continues]
172
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:29,708
[George] Hey! Back off!
173
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,999
- Stop!
- I can't get--
174
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,291
- [clamoring]
- [yelling]
175
00:08:41,291 --> 00:08:42,625
[clamoring continues]
176
00:08:52,416 --> 00:08:53,750
[gunshots]
177
00:09:09,958 --> 00:09:11,291
[dramatic music continues]
178
00:09:14,625 --> 00:09:15,666
[man] Got 'em.
179
00:09:20,541 --> 00:09:23,000
[dramatic music continues]
180
00:09:24,208 --> 00:09:25,208
[music fades]
181
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:27,125
Hello, George.
182
00:09:31,083 --> 00:09:32,958
[man] Prince 594 confirm, over.
183
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:37,250
[Prince] Prince 594.
184
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:42,750
[man] Prince, Emmett Kelly
has been retired, over.
185
00:09:44,916 --> 00:09:46,333
Prince, do you copy?
186
00:09:46,916 --> 00:09:50,207
[Prince] Confirmed.
Emmett Kelly retired, over.
187
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:52,790
Proceeding with the remainder
of the cleanup, over.
188
00:09:52,791 --> 00:09:54,583
[Prince] Affirmative, over.
189
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:58,166
[Jeremy] Seems like they bought it.
190
00:09:59,541 --> 00:10:00,625
You're a dead man.
191
00:10:01,916 --> 00:10:03,583
For the time being, anyway.
192
00:10:04,583 --> 00:10:06,165
When the lights come back on,
193
00:10:06,166 --> 00:10:09,375
we'll spread the word on social,
push out some blurry video.
194
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,250
CIA isn't authorized
to operate on U.S. soil.
195
00:10:16,541 --> 00:10:18,166
I'll overlook it this time.
196
00:10:20,125 --> 00:10:20,957
What are you doing here?
197
00:10:20,958 --> 00:10:24,708
When you arrested Kidder, I thought
it was about time we had another chat.
198
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:26,957
It's a good thing I did.
199
00:10:26,958 --> 00:10:28,249
Let's just say
200
00:10:28,250 --> 00:10:32,082
President Mitchell and I had an interest
in you and your well-being.
201
00:10:32,083 --> 00:10:34,375
We had strong reason to believe
202
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,500
the Zero Day plot involved actors
from inside the government.
203
00:10:39,083 --> 00:10:40,375
At the highest level.
204
00:10:41,666 --> 00:10:42,500
Dreyer?
205
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,666
We thought it was possible.
206
00:10:47,666 --> 00:10:49,874
How far does it go? Who else?
207
00:10:49,875 --> 00:10:51,166
[Jeremy] We're not sure.
208
00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:54,540
But far enough we couldn't trust
the normal channels.
209
00:10:54,541 --> 00:10:57,791
We needed someone out of the game,
like you, to find out for us.
210
00:10:58,291 --> 00:11:01,208
To be honest, I was starting to think
we made a terrible mistake.
211
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,916
At Langley, I tried to bring you in,
but it was like you didn't hear me.
212
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,499
Then at the presser, you bring up Proteus.
213
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,500
After Valerie came to see me,
I started to put it together.
214
00:11:13,083 --> 00:11:13,916
George,
215
00:11:14,625 --> 00:11:18,458
if someone is using Proteus on you,
it isn't us, and it never was.
216
00:11:19,083 --> 00:11:20,041
I know that.
217
00:11:20,666 --> 00:11:23,208
These next few hours, this is the endgame.
218
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:25,875
I need to know that you're okay, George.
219
00:11:38,791 --> 00:11:40,375
[car doors closing]
220
00:11:41,041 --> 00:11:43,040
Lily, go up to your room.
221
00:11:43,041 --> 00:11:45,000
- [Lily] What... Mom?
- Go, go, go.
222
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:47,875
[knocking on door]
223
00:11:51,833 --> 00:11:52,666
Hi.
224
00:11:54,083 --> 00:11:56,790
These men will keep us safe,
but we need to come inside.
225
00:11:56,791 --> 00:11:58,040
Where's George?
226
00:11:58,041 --> 00:12:00,750
- [sirens blaring, horns honking]
- [clamoring]
227
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:06,208
It's just a few blocks.
I think it's better if we walk.
228
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:08,915
- All right.
- I'll be right behind you, sir.
229
00:12:08,916 --> 00:12:10,041
[man] Let's go!
230
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:12,750
[indistinct chatter]
231
00:12:15,166 --> 00:12:17,582
That's right. We should be pushing out
the grid patch shortly.
232
00:12:17,583 --> 00:12:20,957
- Hoping within the hour.
- Okay, after that, comms is the priority.
233
00:12:20,958 --> 00:12:24,457
Credible information combats panic.
We need to tell people help is on the way.
234
00:12:24,458 --> 00:12:26,375
Ma'am, on that...
235
00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:29,500
There's been some radio traffic.
236
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,208
Claims that something happened
to President Mullen.
237
00:12:35,875 --> 00:12:37,375
Power, then comms.
238
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:39,666
Keep the team focused.
239
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:48,790
Thanks, Daniel.
240
00:12:48,791 --> 00:12:51,207
- I can come up with you.
- No, I'm just gonna grab some stuff.
241
00:12:51,208 --> 00:12:54,666
- Then I want to head upstate.
- [Daniel] I'll be waiting right here.
242
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:56,083
[Alex] Thanks.
243
00:12:59,041 --> 00:13:01,166
[sirens wailing faintly]
244
00:13:15,291 --> 00:13:16,125
[door shuts]
245
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:23,499
[Alex gasps]
246
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:24,625
Oh my...
247
00:13:28,791 --> 00:13:30,124
You wanted to tell me something,
248
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:33,958
but I can't imagine anything
that makes sense to me now.
249
00:13:41,791 --> 00:13:42,625
Okay.
250
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:52,083
We...
251
00:13:54,916 --> 00:13:56,749
We were trying to fix things.
252
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:59,000
We? Who's we? You and Dreyer?
253
00:14:01,291 --> 00:14:02,540
It wasn't just Dreyer.
254
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:05,665
By the time he came to me,
there were a dozen members behind him.
255
00:14:05,666 --> 00:14:07,583
- From both sides.
- So it was their idea?
256
00:14:09,291 --> 00:14:10,166
Kidder.
257
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,124
- Hmm.
- She said that she could scare people.
258
00:14:14,125 --> 00:14:17,582
In just one minute, she could remind
everybody how vulnerable we are,
259
00:14:17,583 --> 00:14:20,582
how fragile we are, and that makes sense.
It does. It makes sense
260
00:14:20,583 --> 00:14:23,790
that if you can remind people
what's really important,
261
00:14:23,791 --> 00:14:27,457
then maybe they'll tune out all the noise
and the bullshit and the lies,
262
00:14:27,458 --> 00:14:29,458
and we can
go back to actually hearing each other.
263
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:33,415
So we let it happen
because it made that point for us.
264
00:14:33,416 --> 00:14:35,749
It made it better than we
ever could have made it,
265
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:38,958
but I did not know
that anybody was gonna die. I didn't...
266
00:14:40,625 --> 00:14:41,458
Yeah.
267
00:14:42,833 --> 00:14:45,708
So you associated yourself
with Robert Lyndon.
268
00:14:46,583 --> 00:14:50,207
Fucking Lyndon is a parasite.
I didn't know Lyndon was involved in this.
269
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:51,207
Think about it.
270
00:14:51,208 --> 00:14:54,374
When is the last time the country was able
to solve any of its problems? When?
271
00:14:54,375 --> 00:14:57,875
Because we haven't passed a single piece
of legislation in 18 months.
272
00:14:58,375 --> 00:15:02,374
You wouldn't believe all the things Dreyer
said he was willing to work with me on
273
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:05,958
if he didn't have to worry about
these nuts in his party coming after him.
274
00:15:07,708 --> 00:15:09,125
It went too far.
275
00:15:10,416 --> 00:15:12,624
When Mitchell gave you the commission,
we were just stuck.
276
00:15:12,625 --> 00:15:15,083
- This is not the answer.
- We took a big chance...
277
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:18,499
to change things for the better.
278
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,415
Yes, a change for the better.
279
00:15:20,416 --> 00:15:23,749
- What you do about that is you work at it.
- Look around you.
280
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:27,458
The world that you think you understand,
it doesn't even exist anymore.
281
00:15:28,166 --> 00:15:31,707
The worst part about that is
I used to think that you couldn't help it,
282
00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:34,290
that you didn't know
how broken everything is,
283
00:15:34,291 --> 00:15:36,707
but I think I'm wrong.
I think you do know.
284
00:15:36,708 --> 00:15:39,915
- I think you know and don't want to see.
- Things are always broken.
285
00:15:39,916 --> 00:15:42,040
- This holier than thou...
- [George] We try to fix them.
286
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:45,207
It's just a massive fucking dodge
so you don't have to get your hands dirty.
287
00:15:45,208 --> 00:15:48,249
That's true.
So you don't have to help any real people.
288
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:49,624
Easier said than done.
289
00:15:49,625 --> 00:15:52,665
You don't have to solve
any actual problems.
290
00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:53,832
- I did!
- You didn't!
291
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:56,457
- I did what I knew was right.
- You should've done more!
292
00:15:56,458 --> 00:15:57,957
You're oversimplifying everything!
293
00:15:57,958 --> 00:16:02,583
- Then maybe we all could've done more!
- You're damn right, but we do our best!
294
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:06,124
[breathing shakily]
295
00:16:06,125 --> 00:16:08,540
I hear you, okay? I hear you.
296
00:16:08,541 --> 00:16:10,333
Tell me what to do right now.
297
00:16:11,458 --> 00:16:14,415
Tell me what to do right now.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
298
00:16:14,416 --> 00:16:17,708
If you tell me what to do right now,
I will do it. I will do it.
299
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:20,541
- Dad, please, please.
- Yeah.
300
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,624
[sobbing]
301
00:16:22,625 --> 00:16:25,666
[Alex] I promise, I will do it
if you tell me what to do.
302
00:16:27,166 --> 00:16:28,250
I will do it.
303
00:16:34,708 --> 00:16:36,583
[sirens wailing in the distance]
304
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:42,500
[Alex continues sobbing]
305
00:16:47,083 --> 00:16:48,165
[electronic whirring]
306
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:49,124
[woman] That's it?
307
00:16:49,125 --> 00:16:51,541
That's it! That's it!
308
00:16:52,041 --> 00:16:53,332
[Tim] Got it! Yes!
309
00:16:53,333 --> 00:16:55,249
Okay, okay, let's focus up.
310
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:57,041
I want comms up next.
311
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:00,500
[dramatic music playing]
312
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:12,291
[dramatic music playing]
313
00:17:15,083 --> 00:17:18,665
[reporter 1] As the commission continues
its work to restore downed systems,
314
00:17:18,666 --> 00:17:22,957
{\an8}cyber experts predict this second attack
was a last gasp from Kidder,
315
00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:25,790
a poison pill triggered
from beyond the grave.
316
00:17:25,791 --> 00:17:27,333
Perhaps with the assistance of--
317
00:17:27,833 --> 00:17:30,041
Sorry, I'm just now receiving an update.
318
00:17:31,333 --> 00:17:33,375
We have breaking news now and...
319
00:17:33,958 --> 00:17:35,790
it's terrible, if true.
320
00:17:35,791 --> 00:17:38,540
As the lights come back on in many cities,
321
00:17:38,541 --> 00:17:41,707
{\an8}we are hearing reports
that commission head George Mullen
322
00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:45,207
{\an8}was the target of an attack
near his home outside New York.
323
00:17:45,208 --> 00:17:48,749
[reporter 1] ...the beloved former president
may have been the victim of an attack
324
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:52,915
{\an8}by radicalized supporters of Evan Green,
who you will remember was detained...
325
00:17:52,916 --> 00:17:56,540
{\an8}No word yet on the condition
of former first lady, Sheila Mullen.
326
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:58,457
If you are just joining us,
327
00:17:58,458 --> 00:18:01,124
that is former president
George Mullen currently missing
328
00:18:01,125 --> 00:18:02,874
and feared dead at this hour.
329
00:18:02,875 --> 00:18:04,499
They got to "feared dead" quickly.
330
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,541
- Yeah.
- [Lily] Mom?
331
00:18:06,333 --> 00:18:08,000
Oh, Lily. Honey, I...
332
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:10,000
Hi.
333
00:18:10,583 --> 00:18:11,833
Um, I'm Sheila.
334
00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:16,249
Um, come... come join us.
This is my friend, Sheila.
335
00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:18,582
We're just... watching some...
336
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:22,415
[reporter 3] Your thoughts, Jonathan,
if these reports turn out to be accurate?
337
00:18:22,416 --> 00:18:24,499
[Jonathan] I didn't always agree
with George Mullen,
338
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,999
but I don't think
anyone can dispute his patriotism.
339
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,999
This is a guy
who came out of retirement to serve.
340
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,332
{\an8}I'm sorry. I'm told we have
House Speaker Dreyer. Let's go to that.
341
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:35,832
{\an8}- [man] ...about former president Mullen?
- [woman 1] Mr. Speaker?
342
00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:39,458
{\an8}Devastated, heartbroken,
if these reports turn out to be true.
343
00:18:40,291 --> 00:18:42,874
George Mullen was devoted
to defending America
344
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:46,665
from the kind of misguided extremism
that motivated the Zero Day attacks,
345
00:18:46,666 --> 00:18:49,040
and that apparently has cost him his life.
346
00:18:49,041 --> 00:18:51,708
George and I served
on opposite sides of the aisle.
347
00:18:52,583 --> 00:18:54,291
We argued often, fought even,
348
00:18:54,875 --> 00:18:56,915
but we always agreed on one thing,
349
00:18:56,916 --> 00:18:58,915
that this is
the greatest country on earth,
350
00:18:58,916 --> 00:19:01,166
{\an8}and it's worth
doing anything to defend it.
351
00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:04,749
Now, if you'll excuse me, the president
has called me to the White House.
352
00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:07,874
- [woman] What happened to the commission?
- [man] What's next for the commission?
353
00:19:07,875 --> 00:19:10,207
[Richard] I expect the president and I
will be discussing that.
354
00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:12,790
{\an8}But right now, all our thoughts
should be with the Mullen family
355
00:19:12,791 --> 00:19:15,500
{\an8}and the millions of families
affected by tonight's attack.
356
00:19:16,458 --> 00:19:18,790
If George Mullen has,
in fact, been assassinated,
357
00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:21,958
it's a terrible loss
from which we will not soon recover.
358
00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:23,875
But his death is
359
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:27,958
but one casualty
in the war against our enemies.
360
00:19:28,666 --> 00:19:30,958
A war that has only just begun.
361
00:19:32,166 --> 00:19:33,707
- Thank you.
- [guard] This way, sir.
362
00:19:33,708 --> 00:19:36,125
[clamoring]
363
00:19:36,875 --> 00:19:38,916
[siren wailing]
364
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:48,875
[phone vibrating]
365
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:53,458
Hello?
366
00:19:53,958 --> 00:19:55,333
[George] That was touching.
367
00:19:55,875 --> 00:19:57,250
You and I need to meet.
368
00:19:58,375 --> 00:19:59,250
In person.
369
00:20:02,833 --> 00:20:04,666
[dramatic music playing]
370
00:20:15,416 --> 00:20:17,666
[sirens wailing in the distance]
371
00:20:24,291 --> 00:20:25,291
[Richard] Beautiful.
372
00:20:26,166 --> 00:20:27,374
[George] In the light, it is.
373
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:28,291
You and I...
374
00:20:29,625 --> 00:20:31,415
We're actually on the same side.
You know that?
375
00:20:31,416 --> 00:20:34,249
All I know is that you're gonna
go to prison for a long time.
376
00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:35,750
A decade ago, maybe.
377
00:20:36,833 --> 00:20:38,082
Today, I'm not so sure.
378
00:20:38,083 --> 00:20:41,291
- Treason's still a capital offense?
- Treason implies a betrayal.
379
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,083
Everything I've done
has been out of loyalty.
380
00:20:44,666 --> 00:20:47,749
Loyalty to the same things
that you claim to care about so deeply.
381
00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:50,166
And the thousands of people
that died in these attacks?
382
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:54,207
You violated your oath, and you've done
irreparable damage to this country.
383
00:20:54,208 --> 00:20:56,749
No, I gave it
a last chance to save itself.
384
00:20:56,750 --> 00:20:59,082
How many years do you think we have left?
385
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:02,499
With half the country caught up
in a fever dream of lies and conspiracy,
386
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:06,374
the other half shouting about pronouns
and ranking their grievances?
387
00:21:06,375 --> 00:21:08,040
Destroying democracy
is not the way to save it.
388
00:21:08,041 --> 00:21:10,915
Does chemo destroy the patient
when it rids them of cancer?
389
00:21:10,916 --> 00:21:12,749
And so you decide what the cancer is?
390
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:14,332
You know what the cancer is.
391
00:21:14,333 --> 00:21:17,040
The white nationalists ranting
about being replaced.
392
00:21:17,041 --> 00:21:19,207
The anarchists shouting,
"Abolish the police."
393
00:21:19,208 --> 00:21:22,916
The delusional that think
an election is open to interpretation.
394
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,624
Not to mention clowns like Evan Green
395
00:21:25,625 --> 00:21:28,832
who dole out their poison online
and on television just to make a buck.
396
00:21:28,833 --> 00:21:30,582
And the commission can solve all that?
397
00:21:30,583 --> 00:21:32,791
Properly utilized, its powers can.
398
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:35,290
Temporarily and surgically deployed.
399
00:21:35,291 --> 00:21:37,874
If Mitchell had made the obvious move,
the smart move,
400
00:21:37,875 --> 00:21:40,707
and given me the reins,
we'd already be on the other side of this.
401
00:21:40,708 --> 00:21:45,040
Every dictator that ever seized power
always said it's just temporary.
402
00:21:45,041 --> 00:21:47,915
And you know what was left
when they were finished?
403
00:21:47,916 --> 00:21:50,749
Graveyards and ruins. Every single time.
404
00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:53,457
Stand there and pass judgment on me
all you want.
405
00:21:53,458 --> 00:21:56,332
But what's happening in this country
isn't a rough patch.
406
00:21:56,333 --> 00:22:00,040
It's an emergency. If we don't do
something drastic soon, we're finished.
407
00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:01,915
Your daughter understood that.
408
00:22:01,916 --> 00:22:05,124
My daughter has made a lot of mistakes,
but the biggest one was believing you
409
00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:08,040
and that you care about anything
other than yourself and your own power.
410
00:22:08,041 --> 00:22:09,249
Your daughter's a hero.
411
00:22:09,250 --> 00:22:11,415
I know what she thinks about me deep down,
412
00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:14,083
but she was willing to put all that aside
for the greater good.
413
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:17,957
She saw what we could accomplish
if we worked together.
414
00:22:17,958 --> 00:22:20,290
- You should be proud of her.
- Call your lawyer.
415
00:22:20,291 --> 00:22:22,083
Tell him you're being arrested.
416
00:22:23,541 --> 00:22:24,416
Not tonight.
417
00:22:25,125 --> 00:22:26,832
You want to disband the commission
418
00:22:26,833 --> 00:22:29,415
to end all this
and slowly euthanize the country?
419
00:22:29,416 --> 00:22:30,665
I can't stop you.
420
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:32,707
Maybe you really are that blind.
421
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:34,665
But here's what's gonna happen.
422
00:22:34,666 --> 00:22:37,750
I'll step down when my term is up,
and I'll make sure the others do too.
423
00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:41,124
You've already got Kidder, and you can
hype up Lyndon's role all you want
424
00:22:41,125 --> 00:22:42,749
because he's never coming back.
425
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:43,958
It ends there.
426
00:22:44,625 --> 00:22:48,207
- Bad guys lose, everyone goes home happy.
- This isn't a negotiation.
427
00:22:48,208 --> 00:22:49,125
It isn't?
428
00:22:52,416 --> 00:22:55,416
Because... any other way,
429
00:22:56,291 --> 00:22:58,750
you're putting a rope
around your daughter's neck.
430
00:23:00,541 --> 00:23:01,541
Like you said, George,
431
00:23:02,125 --> 00:23:04,207
treason's still a capital offense.
432
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:06,625
Are you really willing
to do that to your daughter?
433
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:09,749
Is your wife willing to let you?
434
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:12,333
[pensive music playing]
435
00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:20,416
[pensive music continues]
436
00:23:25,125 --> 00:23:27,957
[birds chirping]
437
00:23:27,958 --> 00:23:29,541
[pensive music continues]
438
00:23:32,416 --> 00:23:33,291
[exhales]
439
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,375
[birds chirping]
440
00:23:54,708 --> 00:23:55,750
[exhales]
441
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:00,541
[exhales]
442
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:07,165
[reporter] Joining us now,
commission spokesperson, Melissa Kornblau.
443
00:24:07,166 --> 00:24:08,665
[Melissa] Thank you for having me.
444
00:24:08,666 --> 00:24:12,999
As you can see by the quick restoration
of services after the second attack,
445
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,499
the American people can rest assured
446
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:17,166
the Zero Day malware
is no longer a threat.
447
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:21,874
Former President Mullen will be delivering
the commission's final report tomorrow,
448
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:25,082
at which point he will be addressing
the steps that we've taken to ensure
449
00:24:25,083 --> 00:24:27,249
our country's future cybersecurity,
450
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:30,250
{\an8}as well as our conclusions
about who is ultimately responsible.
451
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:33,915
[Wayne] Morning, sir. We just got a call.
452
00:24:33,916 --> 00:24:37,625
President Mitchell is touring
some recovery sites in the city today.
453
00:24:38,291 --> 00:24:40,999
Apparently, she wants
to come by and see you.
454
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,165
- Here at the house?
- [Wayne] Yeah, around 11.
455
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:44,541
Not our only visitor today.
456
00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:47,541
Alex... wanted to see me later.
457
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:53,832
What'll you tell her?
458
00:24:53,833 --> 00:24:55,790
The same thing you did, that I love her.
459
00:24:55,791 --> 00:24:57,957
Well, I meant about tomorrow.
460
00:24:57,958 --> 00:25:01,416
That you haven't slept or eaten in days,
and I don't know anything.
461
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:12,125
George, whoever she is
and whatever she's done, we raised her,
462
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:15,541
and we have to take
some responsibility for that.
463
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:22,083
I can't lose... another child.
464
00:25:30,791 --> 00:25:32,375
[pensive music playing]
465
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:44,000
[birds chirping]
466
00:25:46,625 --> 00:25:47,874
[knocking at door]
467
00:25:47,875 --> 00:25:50,125
[pensive music continues]
468
00:25:51,875 --> 00:25:52,708
Madam President.
469
00:25:54,333 --> 00:25:55,166
[gasps]
470
00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:58,791
So this is what purgatory looks like?
471
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:00,290
Yeah.
472
00:26:00,291 --> 00:26:01,583
Sit down. Sit down.
473
00:26:02,083 --> 00:26:03,290
[sighs]
474
00:26:03,291 --> 00:26:05,625
I hope you don't mind the imposition.
475
00:26:06,125 --> 00:26:10,125
I find that my office has
a tendency to discourage candor.
476
00:26:11,833 --> 00:26:14,583
[George] From both its visitors
and its occupants, apparently.
477
00:26:16,291 --> 00:26:18,208
You could've said more
in that first meeting.
478
00:26:19,458 --> 00:26:20,291
Maybe.
479
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,500
But, when sharing information,
480
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,833
what we suspect, what we know,
481
00:26:26,416 --> 00:26:30,040
what we can prove,
those are all very different things,
482
00:26:30,041 --> 00:26:32,415
and ultimately all less important
483
00:26:32,416 --> 00:26:35,582
than what the listener
is willing to believe.
484
00:26:35,583 --> 00:26:38,457
What do you think the American people
are willing to believe?
485
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:40,166
The question of the hour.
486
00:26:41,916 --> 00:26:47,583
I hear that the commission's report
is still a work in progress.
487
00:26:48,166 --> 00:26:51,208
I'm guessing that you're facing
some terrible decisions.
488
00:26:52,250 --> 00:26:55,499
Is that why you're here,
to make sure my judgment isn't clouded?
489
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,125
Actually, I'm here to say that I'm sorry.
490
00:26:59,333 --> 00:27:00,957
Yes, I held some things back,
491
00:27:00,958 --> 00:27:05,291
but I had no idea
it might turn out to be this personal.
492
00:27:07,583 --> 00:27:10,624
People trust you... to do the right thing.
493
00:27:10,625 --> 00:27:15,166
Whatever you say in that report
will be the truth in their minds.
494
00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:17,540
The truth is the truth.
495
00:27:17,541 --> 00:27:18,458
Maybe.
496
00:27:22,375 --> 00:27:24,332
The last time you spoke to a joint session
497
00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:27,000
was to announce
that you weren't running again.
498
00:27:27,791 --> 00:27:29,415
I heard the rumors then,
499
00:27:29,416 --> 00:27:32,583
that it was about more
than just your son's passing.
500
00:27:33,791 --> 00:27:34,833
About an affair.
501
00:27:36,333 --> 00:27:40,582
To be that reckless,
and with your own chief of staff,
502
00:27:40,583 --> 00:27:43,166
and then to lie about it
to the American people,
503
00:27:44,041 --> 00:27:45,583
I never bought it.
504
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:47,500
Not for a second.
505
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,541
But later I began to wonder
506
00:27:53,125 --> 00:27:56,000
if there was more to it
than just an affair.
507
00:27:57,208 --> 00:28:00,791
If you kept it all quiet,
not for your own sake,
508
00:28:02,750 --> 00:28:05,416
but to protect someone innocent
509
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:08,541
who didn't deserve all that pain.
510
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:12,333
And this I can believe
511
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:14,625
because the truth
512
00:28:16,041 --> 00:28:17,250
is the truth,
513
00:28:18,041 --> 00:28:20,666
but it's not always
the most important thing.
514
00:28:21,625 --> 00:28:23,250
[pensive music playing]
515
00:28:26,458 --> 00:28:29,332
Now, you once told me
something that I never forgot.
516
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:33,374
You said that our job
is to govern the country as it is,
517
00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:35,416
not as we wish it was.
518
00:28:36,041 --> 00:28:39,957
The public finds out
how deep this really went,
519
00:28:39,958 --> 00:28:41,583
right at this moment,
520
00:28:42,625 --> 00:28:44,458
I don't think we survive that.
521
00:28:45,666 --> 00:28:48,750
We have an obligation
to protect the American people.
522
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:52,999
Maybe a guilty conscience
is the least we can bear for them.
523
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,041
[inhales]
524
00:28:55,125 --> 00:28:57,749
You stop the coup.
We pin this on Kidder alone.
525
00:28:57,750 --> 00:29:00,249
It doesn't bother you
that people might never know that?
526
00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:04,457
Dreyer's office is already
telling reporters that he's retiring,
527
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,958
leaving on a high note.
528
00:29:08,125 --> 00:29:10,457
Unlike you, I want a second term,
529
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:13,332
and the road to that
just got a whole lot easier.
530
00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:16,082
There's a lot of good to do still.
531
00:29:16,083 --> 00:29:18,833
Mistakes I've learned from
that I can correct.
532
00:29:19,625 --> 00:29:22,166
That's the truth that matters most to me.
533
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:27,666
Four more years.
534
00:29:30,375 --> 00:29:33,750
I promise there'll be enough time
for unfinished business.
535
00:29:35,791 --> 00:29:37,833

546
00:32:10,583 --> 00:32:11,583
[Valerie] Thank you.
547
00:32:12,166 --> 00:32:13,208
Mr. Speaker.
548
00:32:14,541 --> 00:32:15,750
Ms. Whitesell.
549
00:32:19,791 --> 00:32:22,166
This is quite
the high-class delivery service.
550
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:29,415
"Report on the investigation
into the Zero Day cyberattack
551
00:32:29,416 --> 00:32:31,500
on the United States of America."
552
00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:34,625
- Weighty stuff.
- Go ahead.
553
00:32:35,583 --> 00:32:36,458
Take your time.
554
00:33:02,458 --> 00:33:04,291
Your boss is a very wise man.
555
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:06,833
I've always admired him.
556
00:33:08,583 --> 00:33:12,082
Mitchell's team suggests
a joint session to present it.
557
00:33:12,083 --> 00:33:15,166
Bipartisan display embracing the results
558
00:33:15,666 --> 00:33:17,500
shows the country is moving forward.
559
00:33:20,041 --> 00:33:21,041
Fine by me.
560
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:23,583
[dramatic music playing]
561
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,999
[reporter] Former President Mullen
expected here first
562
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,540
to thank commission staffers
for their work.
563
00:33:30,541 --> 00:33:32,415
He's then expected to go to Washington.
564
00:33:32,416 --> 00:33:35,374
Sources on the Hill who've seen
advanced copies of the report
565
00:33:35,375 --> 00:33:39,040
confirm that Monica Kidder
was the mastermind behind the attack.
566
00:33:39,041 --> 00:33:42,707
Additionally, Mullen is expected
to propose new cybersecurity measures
567
00:33:42,708 --> 00:33:44,082
for Congress to consider.

[Melissa] Good morning, sir.

00:34:07,083 --> 00:34:09,208
[indistinct chatter]
574
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,624

[applause fades]
577
00:34:30,958 --> 00:34:35,666
Just over a month ago,
each of you answered a call to service.
578
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:38,958
And in just the last week,
in a few short hours,
579
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:43,708
you brought us back from catastrophe,
saved countless thousands of lives.
580
00:34:44,666 --> 00:34:46,332
This country and I personally
581
00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:49,250
owe you all an enormous debt of gratitude.
582
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:53,124
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
583
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,791
[applause]
584
00:35:00,375 --> 00:35:01,249
Good job.
585
00:35:01,250 --> 00:35:04,791
[indistinct chatter]
586
00:35:11,416 --> 00:35:12,540
[George] Carl.
587
00:35:12,541 --> 00:35:15,083
- Mr. President.
- How are you feeling?
588
00:35:15,958 --> 00:35:17,249
- Never better.
- [George] Good.
589
00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:18,958
I added a few more footnotes.
590
00:35:19,541 --> 00:35:20,749
Sir, if I may,
591
00:35:20,750 --> 00:35:23,958
I understand the investigation
uncovered additional angles.
592
00:35:24,541 --> 00:35:26,041
This is what we're going with.
593
00:35:30,958 --> 00:35:31,791
Okay.
594
00:35:33,333 --> 00:35:35,375
- It's been an honor, sir.
- Me too.
595
00:35:36,916 --> 00:35:38,708
[pensive music playing]
596
00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:45,375
- [Valerie] Lab examined it all night.
- And?
597
00:35:46,416 --> 00:35:48,791
Debris of indeterminate origin.
598
00:35:49,541 --> 00:35:52,374
Could be an electronic device
that was attached to the feeder.
599
00:35:52,375 --> 00:35:56,708
Could be junk that accidentally fell
into the seed at the factory.
600
00:35:58,083 --> 00:35:58,958
[George] Hmm.
601
00:35:59,458 --> 00:36:01,833
All the stress, all the pressure,
602
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:03,375
all at once.
603
00:36:04,958 --> 00:36:07,875
Being back at the White House,
where Nick passed.
604
00:36:08,750 --> 00:36:10,875
Doctors say that could explain it.
605
00:36:12,291 --> 00:36:13,707
Top-secret neurological weapon
606
00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:17,500
or just a...
tired old man with too many demons.
607
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:19,791
[George breathes deeply]
608
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:21,500
Does it really matter?
609
00:36:22,708 --> 00:36:23,541
Yeah.
610
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:27,583
And... Lily?
611
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,083
I told her everything, the truth.
612
00:36:33,166 --> 00:36:35,708
Whatever happens now,
it's gonna be up to her.
613
00:36:36,541 --> 00:36:37,375
Yep.
614
00:36:40,125 --> 00:36:41,958
- You sure about this?
- I am.
615
00:36:43,416 --> 00:36:44,375
I'll be watching.
616
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:53,375
[pensive music playing]
617
00:37:13,208 --> 00:37:14,708
[pensive music continues]
618
00:37:49,041 --> 00:37:50,540
- Mr. President.
- Is she here?
619
00:37:50,541 --> 00:37:53,208
She left half an hour ago.
Actually, not sure for where.
620
00:37:54,041 --> 00:37:55,625
Asked me to give you this, though.
621
00:37:56,916 --> 00:37:59,458
[Richard] Thank you. Always a pleasure.
622
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,915
- Tommy. Congresswoman, good to see you.
- Can I have a word?
623
00:38:02,916 --> 00:38:05,250
I'll see you inside. How are you, Bob?
624
00:38:06,583 --> 00:38:07,416
She's gone.
625
00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:09,083
Alex.
626
00:38:11,125 --> 00:38:13,375
I guess she didn't want
to watch her father lie for her.
627
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,665
[reporter] As you can see,
the chamber nearly filled.
628
00:38:16,666 --> 00:38:18,915
Members of the House, the Senate,
629
00:38:18,916 --> 00:38:20,832
and I believe that's
the Secretary of Defense
630
00:38:20,833 --> 00:38:22,250
now taking his seat
631
00:38:22,833 --> 00:38:25,124
as we await former President George Mullen
632
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:29,290
and the final word on what has been
a tumultuous time in this country.
633
00:38:29,291 --> 00:38:30,749
- [man] Mr. Speaker.
- And here we go.
634
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:35,082
[man] The former President
of the United States, George Mullen.
635
00:38:35,083 --> 00:38:37,583
[applause]
636
00:38:42,791 --> 00:38:44,583

[applause continues faintly]
638
00:39:16,583 --> 00:39:19,832
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President,
Chief Justice,
639
00:39:19,833 --> 00:39:23,041
members of the United States Congress
and the Cabinet,
640
00:39:23,625 --> 00:39:24,875
my fellow Americans.
641
00:39:26,208 --> 00:39:29,165
Not long ago, this country was attacked,
642
00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:32,583
not by bombs or planes,
but by computer code,
643
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:36,958
a new kind of war,
both destructive and terrifying.
644
00:39:37,791 --> 00:39:39,832
Those responsible flew no flag,
645
00:39:39,833 --> 00:39:43,125
made no demands,
and made no claim of responsibility.
646
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:46,041
They hid like cowards in the shadows.
647
00:39:47,208 --> 00:39:51,249
But this country, as it always has,
rose to the challenge.
648
00:39:51,250 --> 00:39:55,165
[applause]
649
00:39:55,166 --> 00:39:57,250
You, its people, rallied together,
650
00:39:57,833 --> 00:40:01,665
and this Congress acted immediately
to authorize a special body,
651
00:40:01,666 --> 00:40:03,083
the Zero Day Commission,
652
00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:06,624
tasked with hunting down
those responsible.
653
00:40:06,625 --> 00:40:09,041
[applause]
654
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:16,415
Tonight, I stand before you
to share the findings of that commission.
655
00:40:16,416 --> 00:40:19,707
[high-pitched ringing]
656

[eerie music stops]
658
00:40:47,458 --> 00:40:49,166
It remains our conclusion
659
00:40:50,625 --> 00:40:52,499
that the cyber weapon used on Zero Day
660
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:55,875
was originally developed
by our own National Security Agency.
661
00:40:56,625 --> 00:40:57,540
Earlier this week,
662
00:40:57,541 --> 00:41:01,290
my team and I delivered our final report
to President Mitchell and Speaker Dreyer,
663
00:41:01,291 --> 00:41:05,625
laying out in full detail all the evidence
that validates these conclusions.
664
00:41:06,291 --> 00:41:10,749
Evidence that also points to the roles
Monica Kidder and Robert Lyndon played.
665
00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:12,666
[high-pitched ringing]
666

[distorted music stops]
668
00:41:32,333 --> 00:41:33,708
George, are you all right?
669
00:41:34,458 --> 00:41:37,749
[George] Those are... those are the facts.
670
00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:41,791
[distorted music continues, fades]
671
00:41:44,166 --> 00:41:46,333
Those are the facts, but not the truth.
672
00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:51,708
It's funny.
673
00:41:55,583 --> 00:41:56,916
When you lose someone...
674
00:41:57,458 --> 00:42:00,208
[pensive music playing]
675
00:42:06,291 --> 00:42:08,791
Someone you really love,
something that really matters.
676
00:42:12,291 --> 00:42:15,041
They're never really gone.
They're never really lost.
677
00:42:15,791 --> 00:42:17,458
They won't let you ignore them.
678
00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:19,375
And you know what?
679
00:42:19,875 --> 00:42:21,333
The truth is like that.
680
00:42:22,041 --> 00:42:25,540
It can be hard to find,
sometimes even harder to face,
681
00:42:25,541 --> 00:42:27,999
but always worth the effort.
682
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,083
And the truth tonight
683
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:34,915
is that some of this country's
most powerful people
684
00:42:34,916 --> 00:42:36,375
chose to give up on it.
685
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,290
They saw the division, the bitterness.
686
00:42:40,291 --> 00:42:43,666
Heard the countless,
endless, blatant lies.
687
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:46,082
And they convinced themselves
688
00:42:46,083 --> 00:42:48,874
that the only way to fix it
was to scare you
689
00:42:48,875 --> 00:42:50,457
into giving away your freedom.
690
00:42:50,458 --> 00:42:54,833
They thought that if they had more power,
they could get rid of our problems for us.
691
00:42:55,916 --> 00:42:58,333
Well, my own daughter hoped for that too.
692
00:42:58,916 --> 00:43:00,500
And she left this for me.
693
00:43:01,333 --> 00:43:03,708
This... I know is real.
694
00:43:08,041 --> 00:43:11,457
"The greatest honor of my life
was when the people of my district
695
00:43:11,458 --> 00:43:15,083
chose me to represent them
in the United States Congress."
696
00:43:16,541 --> 00:43:19,541
"My greatest regret
is that I did not live up
697
00:43:20,125 --> 00:43:21,916
to the faith they placed in me."
698
00:43:22,416 --> 00:43:25,791
"I betrayed my oath, and I lost my way."
699
00:43:26,625 --> 00:43:31,165
"I realize now the way to silence
the voices that are poisoning this country
700
00:43:31,166 --> 00:43:33,541
is not by throwing them in a cell."
701
00:43:34,125 --> 00:43:36,041
"It's to stop listening."
702
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,333
"The way to solve our problems
is to look for common good."
703
00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:44,916
"Not wins."
704
00:43:46,166 --> 00:43:49,000
"The way forward is
to confront hard truths."
705
00:43:50,041 --> 00:43:51,416
"Not hide from them."
706
00:43:53,125 --> 00:43:54,958
"Which is why I will not hide."
707
00:43:55,916 --> 00:43:57,750
"I will turn myself in
708
00:43:58,416 --> 00:44:00,207
and face justice."
709
00:44:00,208 --> 00:44:02,708
[pensive music continues]
710
00:44:12,958 --> 00:44:16,707
The Zero Day attack was a conspiracy led
by House Speaker Richard Dreyer.
711
00:44:16,708 --> 00:44:19,958
[clamoring and screaming]
712
00:44:21,583 --> 00:44:25,500
He was joined by members of this body
from both sides of the aisle.
713
00:44:27,208 --> 00:44:30,625
Among them, Congressman Jerry Benson.
714
00:44:32,750 --> 00:44:35,125
Congresswoman Barbara Rollins.
715
00:44:36,583 --> 00:44:38,500
Senator Max Trillin.
716
00:44:40,125 --> 00:44:42,125
Senator Pat Bishop.
717
00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:46,125
And Congresswoman Alexandra Mullen.
718
00:44:48,333 --> 00:44:49,999
But they are not the only ones.
719
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,832
There are most certainly more conspirators
from within government and outside it.
720
00:44:53,833 --> 00:44:55,415
We must find them.
721
00:44:55,416 --> 00:44:58,875
The Zero Day Commission ends tonight,
but not its work.
722
00:44:59,375 --> 00:45:03,540
It is my hope that President Mitchell
will now use every constitutional tool
723
00:45:03,541 --> 00:45:07,207
she has to bring
this country's enemies to justice,
724
00:45:07,208 --> 00:45:08,708
no matter who they are.
725
00:45:09,291 --> 00:45:12,457
May God watch over
those who now pick up the fight,
726
00:45:12,458 --> 00:45:15,457
and may he always bless
the United States of America.
727
00:45:15,458 --> 00:45:18,249
You self-righteous son of a bitch.
I hope you're proud of yourself.
728
00:45:18,250 --> 00:45:19,708
You just destroyed the country.
729
00:45:20,416 --> 00:45:23,832
Every time we can do the right thing,
it's another chance to save it.
730
00:45:23,833 --> 00:45:25,916
[clamoring continues]
731
00:45:31,791 --> 00:45:35,082
[reporter 1] Mullen has delivered
an absolute bombshell tonight,
732
00:45:35,083 --> 00:45:37,957
upending everything
we thought we knew about...
733
00:45:37,958 --> 00:45:41,457
We're now receiving reports
that Congresswoman Alexandra Mullen
734
00:45:41,458 --> 00:45:43,249
{\an8}may already be in custody.
735
00:45:43,250 --> 00:45:46,624
{\an8}[reporter 2] FBI sources indicate
the director will appoint a task force
736
00:45:46,625 --> 00:45:48,790
{\an8}to investigate Speaker Dreyer
737
00:45:48,791 --> 00:45:52,333
{\an8}and other members of Congress
now implicated in the conspiracy.
738
00:45:53,708 --> 00:45:57,207
[reporter 3] Leaving the country to face
a difficult but essential task
739
00:45:57,208 --> 00:46:01,207
of confronting the enemy within
and bringing them to justice.
740
00:46:01,208 --> 00:46:03,999
[reporter 4] An extraordinary turn
as Mullen has spared no one,
741
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,083
including his own daughter, in laying out...
742
00:47:11,708 --> 00:47:14,083
[soft dramatic music playing]
743
00:47:38,041 --> 00:47:39,083
