1
00:00:01,513 --> 00:00:03,171
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:03,173 --> 00:00:05,863
Sir, you don't really think
Aaron's a traitor, do you?
3
00:00:05,865 --> 00:00:06,783
No, I don't.
4
00:00:06,785 --> 00:00:08,605
But until I can prove that definitively,
5
00:00:08,607 --> 00:00:10,728
I have to keep my
guard up and so do you.
6
00:00:10,731 --> 00:00:12,042
What happened last night?
7
00:00:12,044 --> 00:00:13,376
We had the shooter contained,
8
00:00:13,378 --> 00:00:15,111
but MacLeish gave the order anyway.
9
00:00:15,113 --> 00:00:16,179
What order?
10
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:19,148
Shoot to kill. And
that's for your ears only.
11
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:21,284
- We need your help.
- You want to help me?
12
00:00:21,286 --> 00:00:23,619
Find my son!
13
00:00:23,621 --> 00:00:25,821
- It's Joyner. He wants to see you.
- Why?
14
00:00:25,823 --> 00:00:27,957
The FBI came to see him again today.
15
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,726
The guy just needs some reassurance.
16
00:00:29,727 --> 00:00:31,226
- I can give it to him.
- But if it doesn't work,
17
00:00:31,228 --> 00:00:33,796
the problem has to be eliminated.
18
00:00:33,798 --> 00:00:36,065
Someone's gonna find out. Yes, you lied.
19
00:00:36,067 --> 00:00:38,067
- I lied to Congress.
- That's it. Go.
20
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:40,302
FBI! Freeze! Put your
hands on your head.
21
00:00:40,304 --> 00:00:43,005
I'm the Vice President
of the United States.
22
00:00:45,209 --> 00:00:47,275
No!
23
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:52,610
From ABC7 News,
24
00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:54,735
this is a breaking news alert.
25
00:00:54,738 --> 00:00:56,423
Good morning from ABC7.
26
00:00:56,425 --> 00:00:59,220
We have breaking news from
Arlington National Cemetery.
27
00:00:59,223 --> 00:01:01,289
The U.S. Army and FBI are investigating
28
00:01:01,291 --> 00:01:03,492
a deadly shooting that
occurred last night.
29
00:01:03,494 --> 00:01:05,359
The Washington Post is
reporting that two victims
30
00:01:05,361 --> 00:01:06,794
- are involved...
- Emily Rhodes.

32
00:01:19,009 --> 00:01:20,807
Aaron Shore.
33
00:01:20,809 --> 00:01:22,476
Someone's gonna have to explain to me
34
00:01:22,478 --> 00:01:25,346
how the Vice President of
the United States of America
35
00:01:25,348 --> 00:01:27,714
was murdered in front of
a team of federal agents!
36
00:01:27,716 --> 00:01:29,016
We didn't pick the meeting place, sir.
37
00:01:29,018 --> 00:01:29,852
MacLeish did.
38
00:01:29,855 --> 00:01:31,092
We had to take cover where we could.
39
00:01:31,094 --> 00:01:32,844
And MacLeish's security
detail was instructed
40
00:01:32,846 --> 00:01:34,603
to give him plenty of
buffer so he'd feel secure.
41
00:01:34,605 --> 00:01:36,890
We would've taken him down if
it weren't for Beth MacLeish.
42
00:01:36,892 --> 00:01:38,525
I'm sorry. I missed it.
43
00:01:38,527 --> 00:01:40,160
Beth MacLeish was the joker in the deck.
44
00:01:40,162 --> 00:01:41,724
I didn't think she could be involved.
45
00:01:41,727 --> 00:01:45,032
Do we know how she got away
from her Secret Service detail?
46
00:01:45,034 --> 00:01:46,867
She said she was going
to read to her children,
47
00:01:46,869 --> 00:01:48,234
and that was her routine.
48
00:01:48,236 --> 00:01:49,770
By the time they figured
out she was missing,
49
00:01:49,772 --> 00:01:51,204
- it was too late.
- Mr. President,
50
00:01:51,206 --> 00:01:52,523
there are only a few
scenarios at play here,
51
00:01:52,525 --> 00:01:55,274
but only one rings true...
Beth MacLeish was involved.
52
00:01:55,277 --> 00:01:57,043
She knew we were there
to arrest her husband,
53
00:01:57,045 --> 00:01:59,479
and she murdered him before
we could interrogate him.
54
00:02:05,647 --> 00:02:08,087
What kind of fanatics
are we dealing with here?
55
00:02:08,089 --> 00:02:11,223
Sir, it's only a matter of time
before the press pieces together
56
00:02:11,225 --> 00:02:12,934
their own version of
what happened tonight.
57
00:02:12,937 --> 00:02:14,504
I-It's imperative
58
00:02:14,507 --> 00:02:16,929
we keep as many details
out of the public realm
59
00:02:16,931 --> 00:02:19,065
to protect the integrity
of our investigation.
60
00:02:19,067 --> 00:02:20,532
I understand.
61
00:02:22,136 --> 00:02:25,337
So what do we tell the American people?
62
00:02:32,779 --> 00:02:34,946
- Hey.
- Hey.
63
00:02:34,948 --> 00:02:37,282
Damn it, no cufflinks. Use paper clips.
64
00:02:37,284 --> 00:02:38,584
- What?
- I'm serious.
65
00:02:38,586 --> 00:02:40,219
Any idea who got shot?
66
00:02:40,221 --> 00:02:41,520
Not a clue.
67
00:02:44,124 --> 00:02:45,214
I know.
68
00:02:45,217 --> 00:02:48,458
It's shocking, but we
need to move past this.
69
00:02:48,461 --> 00:02:50,228
Does anyone need to take a moment?
70
00:02:51,965 --> 00:02:53,331
Okay, good.
71
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:55,100
Because we're in a
race against the clock.
72
00:02:55,102 --> 00:02:56,467
The country is gonna wake up to the news
73
00:02:56,469 --> 00:02:58,236
that their Vice President
was murdered by his wife,
74
00:02:58,238 --> 00:02:59,803
who then killed herself.
75
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,105
Do we know why she did it?
76
00:03:01,107 --> 00:03:02,306
No, not really.
77
00:03:02,308 --> 00:03:03,341
Right now, the working theory is
78
00:03:03,343 --> 00:03:04,616
problems in the marriage.
79
00:03:04,619 --> 00:03:07,311
A domestic dispute? I don't believe it.
80
00:03:07,313 --> 00:03:09,012
Well, unfortunately,
it's the only explanation
81
00:03:09,014 --> 00:03:11,148
investigators are willing
to give until they know more.
82
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:12,507
I will make the announcement.
83
00:03:12,510 --> 00:03:15,018
Sir, facing the press with
only preliminary theories
84
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:16,854
is like dropping blood in the water.
85
00:03:16,856 --> 00:03:18,622
And the timing alone is
gonna raise questions.
86
00:03:18,624 --> 00:03:20,190
Somebody just tried to kill you,
87
00:03:20,192 --> 00:03:22,292
and now the Vice President
gets murdered by his wife?
88
00:03:22,294 --> 00:03:23,961
Yeah, the press will be all
over you for more details.
89
00:03:23,963 --> 00:03:24,995
Let me make a statement.
90
00:03:24,997 --> 00:03:26,630
No, this news...
91
00:03:26,632 --> 00:03:28,431
the country needs to
hear from their president.
92
00:03:28,433 --> 00:03:31,135
Sir, I have to point out
that Speaker Hookstraten's now
93
00:03:31,137 --> 00:03:32,602
next in line to the presidency.
94
00:03:32,604 --> 00:03:33,900
Right.
95
00:03:33,903 --> 00:03:36,306
I'll talk to Kimble at
the appropriate time.
96
00:03:36,308 --> 00:03:38,541
For now, bring her up to
speed with what we know.
97
00:03:38,543 --> 00:03:41,110
These next few days
are going to be crucial.
98
00:03:41,112 --> 00:03:43,346
I need you to hold yourselves together,
99
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,148
project strength.
100
00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:47,970
The American people
deserve nothing less.
101
00:03:47,973 --> 00:03:49,218
Let's get to work.
102
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:51,520
Yes, sir.
103
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:11,126
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -

104
00:04:14,512 --> 00:04:16,378
This is surreal...
105
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,046
MacLeish, Beth.
106
00:04:18,048 --> 00:04:19,548
W-What about their kids?
107
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:21,583
I mean, what about those poor girls?
108
00:04:21,585 --> 00:04:24,585
I know. I feel awful about the children.
109
00:04:24,587 --> 00:04:27,022
You know what happened, don't you?
110
00:04:27,024 --> 00:04:29,057
But you can't tell me, can you?
111
00:04:29,059 --> 00:04:30,358
No.
112
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,592
Not yet. Hopefully soon.
113
00:04:31,594 --> 00:04:34,029
- Dad!
- Little pea!
114
00:04:35,232 --> 00:04:37,165
Hey, w-watch out. Mind your dad.
115
00:04:37,167 --> 00:04:38,399
You okay?
116
00:04:38,401 --> 00:04:41,035
Yeah. I'm all right.
What do you got there?
117
00:04:41,037 --> 00:04:43,338
I can't draw a horse. Will you help me?
118
00:04:43,340 --> 00:04:46,173
Of course. But I've got some work to do.
119
00:04:46,175 --> 00:04:47,107
I'll help you in a minute.
120
00:04:47,109 --> 00:04:48,343
Promise?
121
00:04:48,345 --> 00:04:49,456
Pinky swear.
122
00:04:51,715 --> 00:04:54,582
Come on. Let's get you some breakfast.
123
00:04:54,584 --> 00:04:56,050
Hey!
124
00:04:56,052 --> 00:04:57,484
Aren't you forgetting something?
125
00:05:01,023 --> 00:05:03,190
I love you. I love you, too.
126
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,694
No. No, that's not actually what I said.
127
00:05:07,697 --> 00:05:10,697
I would just refer you back
to my original statement, okay?
128
00:05:10,699 --> 00:05:13,400
Ladies and gentlemen, the
President of the United States.
129
00:05:16,271 --> 00:05:19,138
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
130
00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:22,075
Plea... Please, take your seats.
131
00:05:22,077 --> 00:05:24,578
I wish I were here to simply talk to you
132
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:27,113
about my returning to the White House
133
00:05:27,115 --> 00:05:30,149
and expressing my gratitude
to the medical staff
134
00:05:30,151 --> 00:05:32,285
at the George Washington
University Hospital
135
00:05:32,287 --> 00:05:36,956
and to the American people
for their incredible support.
136
00:05:36,958 --> 00:05:42,061
But unfortunately, I have a more
somber and serious obligation.
137
00:05:42,063 --> 00:05:44,330
There has been a great
deal of speculation
138
00:05:44,332 --> 00:05:47,400
surrounding the police activity
at Arlington National Cemetery
139
00:05:47,402 --> 00:05:50,269
from last night until this morning.
140
00:05:50,271 --> 00:05:54,407
I am here to tell you that
tragically, at 10:38 p.m.,
141
00:05:54,409 --> 00:05:56,609
Vice President Peter MacLeish
142
00:05:56,611 --> 00:05:59,745
was shot and killed by
his wife, Beth MacLeish.
143
00:06:01,648 --> 00:06:03,615
She then turned the gun upon herself
144
00:06:03,617 --> 00:06:06,751
and committed suicide.
145
00:06:06,753 --> 00:06:10,022
The Vice President was visiting
the gravesite of a soldier
146
00:06:10,024 --> 00:06:12,590
who was under his
command in Afghanistan.
147
00:06:12,592 --> 00:06:15,327
Why he was there last
night specifically,
148
00:06:15,329 --> 00:06:18,496
how often he visited the cemetery,
149
00:06:18,498 --> 00:06:20,498
and what led to this fatal outcome
150
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,166
is still unknown.
151
00:06:23,603 --> 00:06:26,671
I would like to say, I
know the American people
152
00:06:26,673 --> 00:06:30,086
will join me in sending
their hopes and prayers
153
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:33,045
to the MacLeish family
during this time of sorrow.
154
00:06:34,513 --> 00:06:36,013
Thank you very much.
155
00:06:37,516 --> 00:06:39,550
All right, folks, that's
all we have for now, okay?
156
00:06:39,552 --> 00:06:41,385
The President's obviously
not taking any questions.
157
00:06:41,387 --> 00:06:43,620
Look, I'm gonna be
updating you every hour
158
00:06:43,622 --> 00:06:46,023
as we have new developments.
159
00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:33,984
Yvette...
160
00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:35,351
I'm so sorry.
161
00:07:35,353 --> 00:07:36,954
Thank you.
162
00:07:39,491 --> 00:07:40,724
One second.
163
00:07:43,161 --> 00:07:45,195
I don't know what to say.
164
00:07:46,498 --> 00:07:50,133
Thank you for coming.
165
00:07:50,135 --> 00:07:52,435
He was such an amazing boy, Jason.
166
00:07:54,506 --> 00:07:56,606
And they took him from us.
167
00:08:06,026 --> 00:08:07,592
Hey.
168
00:08:07,594 --> 00:08:08,961
What's the press saying
about the shooting?
169
00:08:08,963 --> 00:08:10,562
What aren't they saying?
170
00:08:10,564 --> 00:08:13,065
Speculation's everywhere,
but Seth has it handled.
171
00:08:13,067 --> 00:08:14,799
How's the staff holding up?
172
00:08:14,801 --> 00:08:17,035
They're shocked, but pulling through.
173
00:08:17,037 --> 00:08:19,804
One thing that helps is
seeing you on your feet again.
174
00:08:19,806 --> 00:08:21,706
- Welcome back, Mr. President.
- Thank you, Hayden.
175
00:08:21,708 --> 00:08:23,375
See?
176
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:25,219
We should discuss the
rest of your day's agenda.
177
00:08:25,221 --> 00:08:26,687
I thought we canceled everything.
178
00:08:26,689 --> 00:08:28,222
We can't have a bunker mentality.
179
00:08:28,224 --> 00:08:29,690
The world's still spinning.
180
00:08:29,692 --> 00:08:31,826
You're absolutely
right. What do you got?
181
00:08:31,828 --> 00:08:33,861
Well, CEOs are arriving as we speak
182
00:08:33,863 --> 00:08:36,864
to discuss reducing carbon
dioxide emissions later today.
183
00:08:36,866 --> 00:08:39,293
You're also set to meet
with Senators Choi and Ganesh
184
00:08:39,296 --> 00:08:40,496
regarding criminal justice reform.
185
00:08:40,498 --> 00:08:41,668
Okay. What else?
186
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:43,670
Jacklyn Ramsey just turned
us down for Interior,
187
00:08:43,672 --> 00:08:45,071
said she's happy at the NRDC.
188
00:08:46,584 --> 00:08:48,208
How many people do we have to approach
189
00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:49,843
to get someone to even take a meeting?
190
00:08:49,845 --> 00:08:51,211
Well, we saw this during the elections.
191
00:08:51,213 --> 00:08:53,570
People just don't want to
be in Washington right now.
192
00:08:53,573 --> 00:08:55,181
Any good news?
193
00:08:55,183 --> 00:08:57,216
Actually, Gary Dwyer's
still set to come in tomorrow
194
00:08:57,218 --> 00:08:58,818
to meet with Aaron
about resuming his post
195
00:08:58,820 --> 00:09:00,153
as Secretary of State.
196
00:09:00,155 --> 00:09:01,287
- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
197
00:09:01,289 --> 00:09:02,634
Dwyer.
198
00:09:02,637 --> 00:09:05,025
That'll go a long way
to shoring up confidence.
199
00:09:05,027 --> 00:09:07,193
Yes, it would. But
about their meeting, sir.
200
00:09:07,195 --> 00:09:09,228
I was wondering, in
light of recent events,
201
00:09:09,230 --> 00:09:10,664
if you thought I should
sit down with Dwyer
202
00:09:10,666 --> 00:09:12,381
instead of Aaron.
203
00:09:12,384 --> 00:09:14,200
Emily, I understand your concern,
204
00:09:14,202 --> 00:09:16,235
but until I find a
reason to make a change,
205
00:09:16,237 --> 00:09:18,171
it's business as usual.
206
00:09:18,173 --> 00:09:19,505
Understood.
207
00:09:21,209 --> 00:09:24,310
The MacLeishes leave behind
two daughters, Lexi and Blake,
208
00:09:24,312 --> 00:09:26,212
who will be staying with
their maternal grandparents.
209
00:09:26,214 --> 00:09:28,213
We ask that you would
respect their privacy
210
00:09:28,215 --> 00:09:30,015
in their time of grieving.
211
00:09:30,017 --> 00:09:31,583
The President will
address the nation further
212
00:09:31,585 --> 00:09:33,719
when he has more
information available, okay?
213
00:09:33,721 --> 00:09:34,987
That's all I have for now,
214
00:09:34,989 --> 00:09:36,021
unless you have
questions about something.
215
00:09:36,023 --> 00:09:38,057
Mr. Press Secretary!
216
00:09:38,059 --> 00:09:40,192
Mr. Press Secretary!!
217
00:09:40,194 --> 00:09:41,384
Mr. Leonard.
218
00:09:41,387 --> 00:09:43,595
A pleasure to have you
back at the White House.
219
00:09:43,597 --> 00:09:45,597
I hope that's the first
lie you told this morning.
220
00:09:45,599 --> 00:09:47,732
May I ask who you're with?
221
00:09:47,734 --> 00:09:49,067
Teen Mode.
222
00:09:49,069 --> 00:09:50,602
Come on, Abe.
223
00:09:50,604 --> 00:09:52,003
I need to know who your
credentials are with.
224
00:09:52,005 --> 00:09:53,358
Teen Mode.
225
00:09:53,361 --> 00:09:55,773
They actually do real
stories on real issues,
226
00:09:55,775 --> 00:09:57,209
unlike these lemmings.
227
00:09:57,211 --> 00:09:58,243
All right, Abe.
228
00:09:58,245 --> 00:09:59,744
You have a question?
229
00:09:59,746 --> 00:10:01,913
Yeah, it's about Nestor Lozano -
230
00:10:01,915 --> 00:10:04,115
President Kirkman's would-be assassin.
231
00:10:04,117 --> 00:10:06,584
Sure, the FBI released a
statement on Lozano last night.
232
00:10:06,586 --> 00:10:08,119
Which told us virtually nothing.
233
00:10:08,121 --> 00:10:10,088
Now, I have it on good authority
that Vice President MacLeish
234
00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:12,890
personally took over
the manhunt for Lozano
235
00:10:12,892 --> 00:10:14,892
and issued a shoot-to-kill order.
236
00:10:14,894 --> 00:10:15,816
Care to comment?
237
00:10:15,819 --> 00:10:17,761
I would refer you back
to the FBI comm shop.
238
00:10:17,763 --> 00:10:19,263
I'm not aware of any such order.
239
00:10:19,265 --> 00:10:21,699
Really? Well, my sources say
MacLeish overrode the FBI,
240
00:10:21,701 --> 00:10:25,454
deliberately preventing them
from taking Lozano alive.
241
00:10:25,457 --> 00:10:27,137
Why would the Vice President do that?
242
00:10:27,139 --> 00:10:28,805
I mean, why would he go out of his way
243
00:10:28,807 --> 00:10:30,774
to silence the one man
244
00:10:30,776 --> 00:10:32,409
who attempted to murder the president?
245
00:10:32,411 --> 00:10:33,944
I mean, it doesn't make sense,
246
00:10:33,946 --> 00:10:39,149
unless MacLeish... wanted him silenced.
247
00:10:39,151 --> 00:10:41,985
I'll have to get back to you on that.
248
00:10:41,987 --> 00:10:44,687
I'd appreciate that.
249
00:10:48,894 --> 00:10:51,473
How did Abe Leonard get the
information in the first place?
250
00:10:51,476 --> 00:10:53,929
- Wait, it's true? MacLeish gave the order?
- Yes.
251
00:10:53,931 --> 00:10:55,965
I advised against it, but
he didn't listen to me.
252
00:10:55,967 --> 00:10:56,999
Or the FBI.
253
00:10:57,001 --> 00:10:57,976
What was he thinking?
254
00:10:57,979 --> 00:10:59,855
He said he didn't want
to put our men at risk.
255
00:10:59,858 --> 00:11:01,237
Okay. Uh, well...
256
00:11:01,239 --> 00:11:02,938
Leonard said MacLeish
was hiding something.
257
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:04,218
- Was he?
- I don't know,
258
00:11:04,221 --> 00:11:06,008
But now I have a room full
of White House correspondents
259
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:08,110
- looking into it.
- Look, we need to contain this now,
260
00:11:08,112 --> 00:11:09,812
before paranoia takes over.
261
00:11:09,814 --> 00:11:12,081
And I want to know who's
leaking classified information.
262
00:11:12,083 --> 00:11:13,816
Emily, Aaron, you were
both in Command Ops
263
00:11:13,818 --> 00:11:15,818
when MacLeish gave the
order... Find the leak.
264
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:17,253
I want them in my office by nightfall.
265
00:11:17,255 --> 00:11:18,654
Yes, sir.
266
00:11:18,656 --> 00:11:21,090
Seth, can I borrow you for a second?
267
00:11:24,328 --> 00:11:27,095
I want to address the nation.
268
00:11:27,097 --> 00:11:28,963
Sir, I'm not sure that's the best idea.
269
00:11:28,965 --> 00:11:30,332
I mean, you just announced
270
00:11:30,334 --> 00:11:32,834
that the vice president
was murdered by his wife.
271
00:11:32,836 --> 00:11:34,869
I don't think the country's
ready to hear this after that.
272
00:11:34,871 --> 00:11:37,172
The country deserves to
know what's happening.
273
00:11:37,174 --> 00:11:39,596
Sir, no matter what your intent,
274
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:41,616
I think that anything
that you say at this point
275
00:11:41,619 --> 00:11:43,845
could contribute to a sense of chaos.
276
00:11:44,856 --> 00:11:46,347
Why don't you let me buy you some time?
277
00:11:46,349 --> 00:11:48,016
Wait for this news cycle to die down.
278
00:11:48,018 --> 00:11:49,383
That way, when you do say something,
279
00:11:49,385 --> 00:11:51,186
it's proactive instead of just reacting
280
00:11:51,188 --> 00:11:52,538
to some flame-throwing reporter.
281
00:11:52,541 --> 00:11:55,171
Okay, you're right.
You're right. Get it done.
282
00:11:57,993 --> 00:11:59,126
Thank you.
283
00:11:59,128 --> 00:12:01,228
So what couldn't wait?
284
00:12:01,230 --> 00:12:02,996
Abe Leonard...
285
00:12:02,998 --> 00:12:04,699
I know you two go way back.
286
00:12:04,701 --> 00:12:06,834
You told him about MacLeish
taking out the shooter
287
00:12:06,836 --> 00:12:08,369
in Command Ops... Don't deny it.
288
00:12:08,371 --> 00:12:11,465
Okay, I won't.
289
00:12:11,468 --> 00:12:14,241
- I told you that in confidence.
- That was your mistake.
290
00:12:14,243 --> 00:12:16,243
I thought you were working
with the President on this.
291
00:12:16,245 --> 00:12:17,978
I am.
292
00:12:17,980 --> 00:12:19,880
He asked me to look into MacLeish,
293
00:12:19,882 --> 00:12:21,882
and that's exactly what I'm doing...
294
00:12:21,884 --> 00:12:24,384
- Trying to do my job as best I can.
- All right.
295
00:12:24,386 --> 00:12:26,920
You can dress this up however
you like, Madam Speaker,
296
00:12:26,922 --> 00:12:28,889
but you just jeopardized
national security.
297
00:12:28,891 --> 00:12:30,390
Actually, Aaron...
298
00:12:30,392 --> 00:12:31,658
you did.
299
00:12:37,265 --> 00:12:39,232
Those are NASAMS, ma'am.
300
00:12:39,234 --> 00:12:41,067
Surface-to-air missiles.
301
00:12:41,069 --> 00:12:44,036
They were there before.
We're just installing more.
302
00:12:44,038 --> 00:12:46,339
And there's more snipers.
303
00:12:46,341 --> 00:12:49,008
It's all part of the
increased security plan.
304
00:12:50,345 --> 00:12:52,544
It's just for the moment.
305
00:12:52,546 --> 00:12:54,413
Just for the moment.
306
00:12:54,415 --> 00:12:55,814
Yes, ma'am.
307
00:12:56,925 --> 00:12:58,784
Anything else?
308
00:12:58,786 --> 00:13:00,586
No. Thanks, Mike.
309
00:13:07,561 --> 00:13:08,761
You're the leak?
310
00:13:08,763 --> 00:13:10,095
Indirectly, sir.
311
00:13:10,097 --> 00:13:11,430
I told Speaker Hookstraten.
312
00:13:11,432 --> 00:13:13,298
She fed the story to Abe Leonard.
313
00:13:14,902 --> 00:13:17,235
I realize, sir, this
couldn't come at a...
314
00:13:17,237 --> 00:13:19,304
at a worse possible time.
315
00:13:19,306 --> 00:13:23,909
It was a lapse in
judgment, and I apologize.
316
00:13:23,911 --> 00:13:27,112
It won't happen again.
317
00:13:27,114 --> 00:13:29,781
- Now, I could put out a statement.
- No, no, no.
318
00:13:29,783 --> 00:13:32,450
That'll only add fuel to the fire.
319
00:13:32,452 --> 00:13:34,286
With all the rumors that are
floating around right now,
320
00:13:34,288 --> 00:13:35,953
the last thing we need
is the press to find out
321
00:13:35,955 --> 00:13:38,322
that my Chief of Staff
leaked classified information.
322
00:13:38,324 --> 00:13:41,459
No, of course not.
323
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,901
Aaron?
324
00:13:49,903 --> 00:13:52,803
When is the last time you slept?
325
00:13:52,805 --> 00:13:55,172
I-I slept last night, sir.
326
00:13:55,174 --> 00:13:57,107
More than three hours?
327
00:13:59,812 --> 00:14:02,913
You said yourself you
made a lapse in judgment.
328
00:14:02,915 --> 00:14:06,116
Exhaustion affects our
ability to make decisions.
329
00:14:06,118 --> 00:14:08,018
Maybe you need some personal time.
330
00:14:10,255 --> 00:14:11,988
Sir, are you asking me to step aside?
331
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:15,258
Absolutely not. I'm asking
you to get some rest.
332
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,494
Take maybe a week.
333
00:14:17,496 --> 00:14:19,329
Come back recharged.
334
00:14:19,331 --> 00:14:22,499
Look, sir, I appreciate you
looking after me like that,
335
00:14:22,501 --> 00:14:24,367
but with everything
that's going on right now,
336
00:14:24,369 --> 00:14:26,202
I really don't think
a break is called for.
337
00:14:26,204 --> 00:14:28,104
Aaron, it's because of
everything that's going on
338
00:14:28,106 --> 00:14:30,873
that I need you at your best.
339
00:14:30,875 --> 00:14:33,943
I'm not trying to punish you.
I'm trying to protect you.
340
00:14:33,945 --> 00:14:35,945
You're gonna have to trust me.
341
00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:39,039
Take the week.
342
00:14:42,816 --> 00:14:44,849
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
343
00:15:05,316 --> 00:15:06,783
Aaron told me himself.
344
00:15:06,786 --> 00:15:09,613
He shared the information
with Speaker Hookstraten...
345
00:15:09,615 --> 00:15:11,481
She leaked it to Abe Leonard.
346
00:15:13,218 --> 00:15:14,769
Wow.
347
00:15:14,772 --> 00:15:16,586
Do you think this has anything to do
348
00:15:16,588 --> 00:15:18,955
with him suppressing the
threat assessment memo?
349
00:15:18,957 --> 00:15:21,724
No. No, I don't.
350
00:15:21,726 --> 00:15:23,626
But he's gonna take some time off.
351
00:15:23,628 --> 00:15:25,144
You suspended him?
352
00:15:25,147 --> 00:15:27,296
No, I asked him to get
some rest and refocus,
353
00:15:27,298 --> 00:15:29,431
give us a chance to figure
out what the hell is going on.
354
00:15:29,433 --> 00:15:31,734
In the meantime...
355
00:15:31,736 --> 00:15:34,370
I would like you to be
my acting Chief of Staff.
356
00:15:37,975 --> 00:15:40,142
I'm throwing you in the deep end here.
357
00:15:41,312 --> 00:15:43,479
I won't let you down.
358
00:15:43,481 --> 00:15:44,866
I know.
359
00:15:44,869 --> 00:15:47,383
Thank you, Emily. Ava
will bring you up to speed.
360
00:15:55,659 --> 00:15:57,159
I guess that's all I need
for the next briefing.
361
00:15:57,161 --> 00:15:58,160
Thank you, guys.
362
00:15:58,162 --> 00:15:59,973
Uh, hey, Seth.
363
00:15:59,976 --> 00:16:02,943
My mother called me earlier.
She asked me two questions.
364
00:16:02,946 --> 00:16:04,946
One... am I dating anyone?
365
00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:06,634
Two... was the Vice President involved
366
00:16:06,636 --> 00:16:08,270
with the attempt on Kirkman's life?
367
00:16:08,272 --> 00:16:10,538
- Funny.
- I'm serious.
368
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:12,607
When's the President gonna address this?
369
00:16:12,609 --> 00:16:13,641
He's right, Seth.
370
00:16:13,643 --> 00:16:14,845
The longer we stay silent,
371
00:16:14,848 --> 00:16:16,837
the more it seems like
we are hiding something.
372
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,257
Okay. Well, look.
373
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:20,180
The President is still
being briefed by the FBI,
374
00:16:20,183 --> 00:16:22,016
and he should have all
the information he needs
375
00:16:22,018 --> 00:16:24,185
before he can address the nation, right?
376
00:16:24,187 --> 00:16:25,219
Thanks for that question.
377
00:16:25,221 --> 00:16:26,287
Yeah.
378
00:16:28,492 --> 00:16:29,491
Laura?
379
00:16:33,397 --> 00:16:34,563
We, um...
380
00:16:34,565 --> 00:16:36,565
We need to shut down Abe Leonard
381
00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:39,234
before his conspiracy
rumors get out of hand.
382
00:16:39,236 --> 00:16:41,236
Abe Leonard's a Pulitzer Prizewinner.
383
00:16:41,238 --> 00:16:43,705
Well, he's a disgraced
Pulitzer Prize-winner, right?
384
00:16:43,707 --> 00:16:46,708
You know, when firefighters are
trying to put out a forest fire,
385
00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:48,276
sometimes they'll...
386
00:16:48,278 --> 00:16:50,378
set a backfire to snuff
out the original blaze.
387
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:51,613
That's what we need to do.
388
00:16:51,615 --> 00:16:53,582
So... you want us to smear him?
389
00:16:53,584 --> 00:16:56,685
No, the President doesn't
want that, and neither do I.
390
00:16:56,687 --> 00:16:59,353
What I do want is for
the American people
391
00:16:59,355 --> 00:17:00,922
to realize that, uh...
392
00:17:00,924 --> 00:17:04,425
Abe Leonard strikes out
more than he hits home runs.
393
00:17:04,427 --> 00:17:07,195
Make our friends in the media
remember every correction,
394
00:17:07,197 --> 00:17:09,097
retraction he's ever had to publish,
395
00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:12,133
every libel lawsuit and
defamation settlement.
396
00:17:12,135 --> 00:17:15,236
I mean, this guy's like
a broken watch, right?
397
00:17:15,238 --> 00:17:16,437
He's only right twice a day.
398
00:17:16,439 --> 00:17:18,372
Sweet.
399
00:17:18,374 --> 00:17:19,956
We finally get to spin something.
400
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:29,550
Hey, he-here's a list
401
00:17:29,552 --> 00:17:32,085
of pending correspondence
and calls to return.
402
00:17:32,087 --> 00:17:34,287
These will catch you up on NSA,
403
00:17:34,289 --> 00:17:37,958
and these are the files for
the Dwyer meeting tomorrow.
404
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,960
I'm sorry, Aaron.
405
00:17:39,962 --> 00:17:42,295
Oh, well, there's
nothing to be sorry about.
406
00:17:42,297 --> 00:17:44,464
The President's just looking out for me.
407
00:17:44,466 --> 00:17:46,906
And I'm sure you'll be back in no time.
408
00:17:48,737 --> 00:17:51,304
Curtis is the go-to guy
for all matters Senate,
409
00:17:51,306 --> 00:17:53,005
and Jamie for the House.
410
00:17:53,007 --> 00:17:56,175
Denise handles military and cabinet.
411
00:17:56,177 --> 00:17:57,410
Aaron...
412
00:18:01,349 --> 00:18:02,582
Good luck.
413
00:18:12,111 --> 00:18:14,326
You sure you don't want
me in there with you?
414
00:18:14,328 --> 00:18:15,761
No. Joyner knows me.
415
00:18:15,763 --> 00:18:18,330
Yeah, he knows you're the
one who took down MacLeish,
416
00:18:18,332 --> 00:18:20,266
the only guy in the world he trusted.
417
00:18:20,268 --> 00:18:23,669
Look, he's damaged
goods. I can reach him.
418
00:18:23,671 --> 00:18:27,038
The story of this conspiracy
starts in Afghanistan.
419
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,310
Until we understand that,
we don't understand anything.
420
00:18:42,022 --> 00:18:44,022
"And you will know the truth,
421
00:18:44,024 --> 00:18:47,192
and the truth will set you free."
422
00:18:47,194 --> 00:18:48,392
John 8:32...
423
00:18:48,394 --> 00:18:49,694
That's what you quoted to MacLeish
424
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:51,529
right before he was shot.
425
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,731
So what is the truth, Corporal Joyner?
426
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:56,667
Tell me about the mission to Kunar...
427
00:18:56,669 --> 00:18:59,370
November 14, 2005.
428
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:01,572
I ain't talking to you.
429
00:19:08,681 --> 00:19:11,448
The CIA added this to your mission file.
430
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,054
This is total crap.
431
00:19:17,056 --> 00:19:20,324
It didn't happen like this.
432
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,492
This makes us sound like baby killers.
433
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:26,230
But you did kill civilians, didn't you?
434
00:19:26,232 --> 00:19:29,065
Women? Children?
435
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:30,700
You weren't there!
436
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:32,469
You can't understand.
437
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:36,239
Make me understand.
438
00:19:36,241 --> 00:19:38,742
Listen to your conscience, Alvin.
439
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:40,276
I can't.
440
00:19:40,278 --> 00:19:42,379
You want to tell someone. I know you do.
441
00:19:42,381 --> 00:19:43,580
No!
442
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:45,882
- Cap said...
- Captain MacLeish is dead.
443
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:47,850
And he's going down as a war criminal.
444
00:19:47,852 --> 00:19:50,186
No!
445
00:19:50,188 --> 00:19:51,854
H-He's a hero!
446
00:19:51,856 --> 00:19:54,056
He saved all of us that day.
447
00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:58,975
How? What did he do?
448
00:20:11,859 --> 00:20:12,925
Hey.
449
00:20:12,927 --> 00:20:14,627
Hey.
450
00:20:16,452 --> 00:20:18,063
Everything all right?
451
00:20:18,065 --> 00:20:19,432
Yeah.
452
00:20:19,434 --> 00:20:22,367
T-Tom, I'm worried about the kids.
453
00:20:22,369 --> 00:20:24,936
I think we should send them
away from the White House.
454
00:20:24,938 --> 00:20:26,484
What?
455
00:20:26,487 --> 00:20:28,939
My mom can help take care
of them. I spoke with her.
456
00:20:28,942 --> 00:20:30,942
- With all due respect to your mom...
- N-N-No. J-Just hear me out, okay?
457
00:20:30,944 --> 00:20:34,278
The people who are behind this,
they took down the government,
458
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,948
th-they... th-they killed
that FBI agent's little boy,
459
00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:38,550
and they almost killed you.
460
00:20:38,552 --> 00:20:39,783
Slow down. Slow down.
461
00:20:39,785 --> 00:20:41,452
You said yourself that you thought
462
00:20:41,454 --> 00:20:43,321
the White House was
the safest place to be.
463
00:20:43,323 --> 00:20:44,106
Well, I was wrong.
464
00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:47,458
Because wherever you
are, you are a target.
465
00:20:48,794 --> 00:20:50,394
Well, where do you want to go?
466
00:20:50,396 --> 00:20:52,964
I spoke with Mike about Camp David.
467
00:20:52,966 --> 00:20:55,099
- He says it's more secure.
- Of course it is.
468
00:20:55,101 --> 00:20:56,834
It's a compound in
the middle of nowhere.
469
00:20:56,836 --> 00:20:58,378
They wouldn't have any friends.
470
00:20:58,381 --> 00:21:00,471
They'd have to be tutored.
What kind of a life is that?
471
00:21:00,473 --> 00:21:01,938
What kind of life is this?
472
00:21:01,940 --> 00:21:03,741
You haven't been to their school, you...
473
00:21:03,743 --> 00:21:05,430
Well, we'll boost their security.
474
00:21:05,433 --> 00:21:06,833
- We'll get them tracking bands.
- No, no, no, no.
475
00:21:06,835 --> 00:21:10,113
Putting more bars on the
prison is not the answer.
476
00:21:10,115 --> 00:21:12,415
I want our kids to have a normal life.
477
00:21:12,417 --> 00:21:14,484
And I don't want to be away from them.
478
00:21:14,486 --> 00:21:17,354
Or you, Al...
479
00:21:17,356 --> 00:21:19,322
Alex...
480
00:21:19,324 --> 00:21:21,491
This family, our family,
481
00:21:21,493 --> 00:21:23,760
is the only thing holding me together.
482
00:21:23,762 --> 00:21:25,026
I know. I know that.
483
00:21:25,029 --> 00:21:29,499
And I don't want to be
away from you, either.
484
00:21:29,501 --> 00:21:34,136
But... we have to think
about what's best for them.
485
00:21:34,138 --> 00:21:37,373
And separating them from
their father is the answer?
486
00:21:39,811 --> 00:21:41,944
I'm sorry, sir.
487
00:21:43,882 --> 00:21:46,648
I'll get back as soon as I can.
488
00:21:52,914 --> 00:21:55,380
I'm gonna head home to shower
and get a change of clothes.
489
00:21:55,383 --> 00:21:56,491
Please do.
490
00:21:56,493 --> 00:21:58,394
Don't miss me too much.
491
00:22:03,967 --> 00:22:05,366
Don't make a sound!
492
00:22:05,368 --> 00:22:07,536
Okay. Uh... you want my wallet?
493
00:22:07,538 --> 00:22:08,870
No. I want your suit.
494
00:22:08,872 --> 00:22:11,907
Is that a Welsh & Jeffries?
495
00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:14,042
Oh, you guys are sons of
bitches, you know that?
496
00:22:14,044 --> 00:22:15,544
And what about me?
497
00:22:15,546 --> 00:22:18,179
You gave birth to these two.
498
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,908
Oh, man. What are you guys doing here?
499
00:22:20,911 --> 00:22:22,883
Well, you haven't answered
a single text message
500
00:22:22,886 --> 00:22:24,313
in the past week.
501
00:22:24,316 --> 00:22:27,688
Yeah, well, that's what happens
when the President gets shot
502
00:22:27,690 --> 00:22:29,690
and the Vice President
gets murdered by his wife.
503
00:22:29,692 --> 00:22:30,719
That's why we're here.
504
00:22:30,722 --> 00:22:32,927
- Call it an intervention.
- With alcohol.
505
00:22:32,929 --> 00:22:34,829
I wish I could, guys.
506
00:22:34,831 --> 00:22:36,222
I got to shower and head back to work.
507
00:22:36,224 --> 00:22:37,832
Oh, would you listen to this guy?
508
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:40,200
You sound like a
freshman all over again.
509
00:22:40,202 --> 00:22:42,903
Callie flew in from New
York just to see you.
510
00:22:42,905 --> 00:22:44,905
- You did?
- If it makes it any easier,
511
00:22:44,907 --> 00:22:46,173
drinks are on you.
512
00:22:48,110 --> 00:22:49,443
All right. I can do one drink.
513
00:22:49,445 --> 00:22:51,023
All right.
514
00:22:51,026 --> 00:22:52,846
I can't believe Callie braved the flight
515
00:22:52,848 --> 00:22:55,115
from New York all the way down to D.C.
516
00:22:56,202 --> 00:22:58,085
Mr. President, what
I'm about to tell you
517
00:22:58,087 --> 00:23:00,420
came straight from
Corporal Joyner himself.
518
00:23:00,422 --> 00:23:02,922
One the morning of
11/14, orders came down
519
00:23:02,924 --> 00:23:05,592
for MacLeish's unit
to escort an Army major
520
00:23:05,594 --> 00:23:07,961
to a covert meet with an Afghan warlord.
521
00:23:07,963 --> 00:23:09,729
That major's name...
522
00:23:09,731 --> 00:23:12,098
Nestor Lozano, a.k.a. Catalan.
523
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:13,867
The man who tried to kill me.
524
00:23:13,869 --> 00:23:15,602
Right.
525
00:23:15,604 --> 00:23:18,104
He was meant to deliver a
few duffel bags full of cash.
526
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:20,439
The meet went south...
Warlord took the money
527
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:22,041
and ordered his men to open fire.
528
00:23:22,043 --> 00:23:23,470
It was a bloodbath.
529
00:23:23,473 --> 00:23:24,743
My God.
530
00:23:24,745 --> 00:23:26,489
MacLeish managed to
keep his unit together,
531
00:23:26,492 --> 00:23:27,913
and they fought their
way out of the compound,
532
00:23:27,915 --> 00:23:30,082
but the warlord pursued.
533
00:23:30,084 --> 00:23:32,618
And they started picking off the unit,
534
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:33,785
one by one.
535
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:36,122
MacLeish's men went blood-simple.
536
00:23:36,124 --> 00:23:38,991
They shot up everything in their path...
537
00:23:38,993 --> 00:23:41,960
Hostiles, friendlies,
women, and children.
538
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:43,461
To MacLeish's men,
539
00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:45,564
the rules of engagement
no longer applied.
540
00:23:45,566 --> 00:23:46,965
It was a frenzy...
541
00:23:46,967 --> 00:23:48,166
Kill or be killed.
542
00:23:48,168 --> 00:23:50,569
Eventually, Joyner sees Lozano,
543
00:23:50,571 --> 00:23:54,006
shoves a gun in his face,
demands to know what happened.
544
00:23:54,008 --> 00:23:56,942
Lozano admits he's a CIA officer
545
00:23:56,944 --> 00:23:59,911
and that the bags were filled
with $5 million in cash...
546
00:23:59,913 --> 00:24:01,979
A payoff to fight against the Taliban.
547
00:24:01,981 --> 00:24:04,849
But MacLeish's men decided
that Lozano was going
548
00:24:04,851 --> 00:24:07,152
to have to pay for
the buddies they lost,
549
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:08,653
MacLeish jumps in, stops it,
550
00:24:08,655 --> 00:24:11,189
says that he was just following orders.
551
00:24:11,191 --> 00:24:13,958
So, MacLeish saved his life.
552
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,492
If it weren't for MacLeish,
553
00:24:15,494 --> 00:24:17,562
Lozano would've never made it home.
554
00:24:18,865 --> 00:24:20,831
We're worried about you, pal.
555
00:24:20,833 --> 00:24:22,800
Come on. Worried about
what? Everything's fine.
556
00:24:22,802 --> 00:24:25,836
Seth, come on. You're
working for an amateur.
557
00:24:25,838 --> 00:24:27,304
A nice guy, maybe,
558
00:24:27,306 --> 00:24:29,506
but someone clearly
incapable of doing the job.
559
00:24:29,508 --> 00:24:32,209
The nation's not seen this much
turmoil since the Civil War.
560
00:24:32,211 --> 00:24:34,678
You're the face of a
drowning administration.
561
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,181
The handsome face of a
drowning administration,
562
00:24:37,183 --> 00:24:38,715
- I might add.
- Thank you.
563
00:24:38,717 --> 00:24:40,150
People think they're not
getting the whole story.
564
00:24:40,152 --> 00:24:41,685
They're wondering if
there's a connection
565
00:24:41,687 --> 00:24:43,258
between MacLeish and the shooter.
566
00:24:43,261 --> 00:24:45,522
Okay, let me just guess where
you're getting that information.
567
00:24:45,524 --> 00:24:46,856
- Teen Mode.
- Teen Mode.
568
00:24:46,858 --> 00:24:48,157
Seth, if there is any truth
569
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:49,859
to this Abe Leonard story at all...
570
00:24:49,861 --> 00:24:52,228
You really want to handcuff
yourself to a failed presidency?
571
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:54,197
Guys, enough.
572
00:24:54,199 --> 00:24:55,832
I don't work at a hedge fund,
573
00:24:55,834 --> 00:24:57,200
I don't work for a white-shoe law firm,
574
00:24:57,202 --> 00:25:00,036
I don't make superhero movies.
575
00:25:00,038 --> 00:25:03,073
I work for the President
of the United States.
576
00:25:03,075 --> 00:25:05,040
When your ship's taking
on water, you don't jump.
577
00:25:05,042 --> 00:25:07,810
You grab a bucket.
578
00:25:07,812 --> 00:25:09,579
I appreciate the concern.
579
00:25:11,182 --> 00:25:13,182
I love you guys. You know that.
580
00:25:13,184 --> 00:25:15,017
But I have to get back
to the White House.
581
00:25:15,019 --> 00:25:16,486
All right? Thanks for flying down.
582
00:25:18,756 --> 00:25:22,925
The mission only explains
how Lozano met MacLeish.
583
00:25:22,927 --> 00:25:24,727
And why he owed him.
584
00:25:24,729 --> 00:25:25,828
Right.
585
00:25:27,832 --> 00:25:28,998
My opinion?
586
00:25:32,003 --> 00:25:35,203
This is exactly how
MacLeish was radicalized.
587
00:25:35,205 --> 00:25:38,906
The bond with his unit went
deeper than even family.
588
00:25:38,908 --> 00:25:41,075
To have his men sent in to slaughter,
589
00:25:41,077 --> 00:25:43,578
on a covert mission with a war criminal,
590
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:46,214
and then to come back and
have their sacrifice...
591
00:25:46,216 --> 00:25:49,917
ignored and erased by
a callous government.
592
00:25:49,919 --> 00:25:53,287
The mission that made MacLeish a hero...
593
00:25:53,289 --> 00:25:54,777
turned him into a traitor.
594
00:26:01,101 --> 00:26:03,449
I want a perimeter around the school
595
00:26:03,452 --> 00:26:04,617
before we get there.
596
00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:06,477
We'll be traveling in alone.
597
00:26:06,479 --> 00:26:08,806
Phoenix will not be exiting the vehicle.
598
00:26:08,809 --> 00:26:10,209
Copy that.
599
00:26:11,484 --> 00:26:13,450
Thank you, Mike.
600
00:26:43,515 --> 00:26:44,781
I've seen enough.
601
00:26:44,783 --> 00:26:46,249
Let's go back to the White House.
602
00:26:54,293 --> 00:26:56,292
With all that's happened
in the past few weeks,
603
00:26:56,294 --> 00:26:58,752
the President is thrilled to
have a man of your experience
604
00:26:58,755 --> 00:27:01,764
stepping back into the
role of Secretary of State.
605
00:27:01,766 --> 00:27:03,666
Thank you, Ms. Rhodes,
606
00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:06,035
But let me stop you right there.
607
00:27:06,037 --> 00:27:08,103
After discussing it with my advisors,
608
00:27:08,105 --> 00:27:11,006
I'm gonna respectfully take
my name out of consideration.
609
00:27:11,008 --> 00:27:12,641
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
610
00:27:12,643 --> 00:27:14,543
Why come in if you had no intention
611
00:27:14,545 --> 00:27:15,777
of taking the position?
612
00:27:15,779 --> 00:27:17,679
Out of respect for the President.
613
00:27:17,681 --> 00:27:19,781
I wanted to deliver the news in person.
614
00:27:19,783 --> 00:27:22,151
Well, that won't stop him
from being disappointed.
615
00:27:22,153 --> 00:27:23,618
I'm very sorry.
616
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:25,787
But I did want to offer a suggestion.
617
00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:28,247
I've spoken to Cornelius Moss,
618
00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:30,191
and he's willing to make recommendations
619
00:27:30,193 --> 00:27:31,693
on all of your cabinet posts.
620
00:27:31,695 --> 00:27:34,396
President Moss wants to
get back into politics?
621
00:27:34,398 --> 00:27:36,531
He just wants to share the
benefit of his experience.
622
00:27:36,533 --> 00:27:38,066
Nothing more.
623
00:27:38,068 --> 00:27:40,001
Would President Kirkman be open to that?
624
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,074
So, we'll try it for a
month, see how it goes.
625
00:27:47,210 --> 00:27:49,177
Thank you.
626
00:27:49,179 --> 00:27:51,145
What... What changed your mind?
627
00:27:52,849 --> 00:27:54,815
I went to Penny's school today.
628
00:27:54,817 --> 00:27:56,550
Mike arranged it so
that we could move out
629
00:27:56,552 --> 00:27:58,171
of the motorcade a block away
630
00:27:58,174 --> 00:28:01,007
so she wouldn't know we were there.
631
00:28:01,010 --> 00:28:02,723
You know, one of my
favorite things to do
632
00:28:02,725 --> 00:28:04,324
before all this happened...
633
00:28:04,326 --> 00:28:06,360
pick her up from school.
634
00:28:06,362 --> 00:28:07,990
I would get there early
just to watch her play
635
00:28:07,992 --> 00:28:10,264
with her friends.
636
00:28:10,266 --> 00:28:12,600
She doesn't have any anymore.
637
00:28:12,602 --> 00:28:15,436
Other kids aren't allowed near her.
638
00:28:15,438 --> 00:28:17,605
I'm robbing her of her childhood,
639
00:28:17,607 --> 00:28:20,322
and I don't know how to fix that yet,
640
00:28:20,325 --> 00:28:22,925
but anything's got to
be better than this.
641
00:28:26,081 --> 00:28:27,547
I agree.
642
00:28:27,549 --> 00:28:29,383
Thank you.
643
00:28:38,393 --> 00:28:40,226
So, where are we at?
644
00:28:40,228 --> 00:28:43,262
Just parsing through the haystack.
645
00:28:43,264 --> 00:28:46,232
Did any ID come back on the
guy you took out at Langdon's?
646
00:28:46,234 --> 00:28:48,367
No, I ran it through
every database we have...
647
00:28:48,369 --> 00:28:51,470
Facial recognition, dental
records, fingerprints.
648
00:28:51,472 --> 00:28:53,306
No matches.
649
00:28:53,308 --> 00:28:55,607
Just like the woman
who took Luke Atwood.
650
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:58,444
I mean, to have every
shred of your existence
651
00:28:58,446 --> 00:29:00,612
scrubbed from the public record...
652
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:01,814
these guys are good.
653
00:29:01,816 --> 00:29:04,550
We've got eyes out
everywhere for Langdon.
654
00:29:04,552 --> 00:29:06,419
But so far, nothing.
655
00:29:06,421 --> 00:29:07,586
He's out there...
656
00:29:07,588 --> 00:29:09,555
somewhere.
657
00:29:09,557 --> 00:29:11,423
You know, it's like Jason used to say,
658
00:29:11,425 --> 00:29:13,459
we only have to be lucky once.
659
00:29:13,461 --> 00:29:15,561
They have to be lucky all the time.
660
00:29:21,669 --> 00:29:24,135
Hello?
661
00:29:24,137 --> 00:29:25,236
Jason?
662
00:29:27,341 --> 00:29:29,341
Jason, I came to check on you guys.
663
00:29:31,911 --> 00:29:33,744
I hope that's okay.
664
00:29:37,517 --> 00:29:38,916
Where's Yvette?
665
00:29:38,918 --> 00:29:40,952
She's at her sister's in Buffalo.
666
00:29:40,954 --> 00:29:43,287
She said everything about this place
667
00:29:43,289 --> 00:29:45,823
reminds her of Luke.
668
00:29:45,825 --> 00:29:48,659
You know they canned me, right?
669
00:29:48,661 --> 00:29:51,462
They took my badge and my gun.
670
00:29:51,464 --> 00:29:52,964
I'm so sorry, Jason.
671
00:29:52,966 --> 00:29:56,367
I'm an embarrassment
to the entire Bureau.
672
00:29:56,369 --> 00:29:59,436
That is not true. Don't even go there.
673
00:29:59,438 --> 00:30:01,938
20-plus years on the job,
674
00:30:01,940 --> 00:30:06,910
and all it took was for her
to show me that she had my son.
675
00:30:08,814 --> 00:30:11,615
And all of my training
just goes out the window.
676
00:30:14,386 --> 00:30:17,220
Let's make them pay, Jason.
677
00:30:17,222 --> 00:30:19,656
Tell me everything you
know about that woman.
678
00:30:19,658 --> 00:30:23,126
We'll find her, and we'll make her pay.
679
00:30:25,631 --> 00:30:27,497
Are you working me?
680
00:30:27,499 --> 00:30:30,299
What are you talking about?
681
00:30:30,301 --> 00:30:31,534
You're working the case.
682
00:30:31,536 --> 00:30:33,403
Jason, no. Come on. Don't. Don't.
683
00:30:33,405 --> 00:30:35,278
No, I want justice for Luke.
684
00:30:35,281 --> 00:30:36,305
Justice?
685
00:30:38,376 --> 00:30:41,577
Justice is not gonna bring my son back.
686
00:30:44,382 --> 00:30:47,382
This is my justice.
687
00:30:47,384 --> 00:30:49,885
I went against everything that I am,
688
00:30:49,887 --> 00:30:52,688
and my son is dead because of it.
689
00:30:52,690 --> 00:30:55,724
You did everything you could.
You sacrificed everything.
690
00:30:55,726 --> 00:30:58,694
They did this.
691
00:30:58,696 --> 00:31:02,665
Please leave.
692
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:05,733
Jason, I want to help.
693
00:31:05,735 --> 00:31:06,935
Get out.
694
00:31:29,693 --> 00:31:32,393
I've had several conversations
with Cornelius Moss
695
00:31:32,395 --> 00:31:33,861
since I took office.
696
00:31:33,863 --> 00:31:36,897
He never indicated any desire
to get back into politics.
697
00:31:36,899 --> 00:31:38,532
Not even close. I know.
698
00:31:38,534 --> 00:31:39,900
After his wife died,
699
00:31:39,902 --> 00:31:41,435
he said he was retiring
from public life.
700
00:31:41,437 --> 00:31:43,296
That's why he never
ran for a second term.
701
00:31:43,299 --> 00:31:44,705
Great public servant.
702
00:31:44,707 --> 00:31:46,974
And a consummate politician.
703
00:31:46,976 --> 00:31:48,609
I'm just saying, I wouldn't want him
704
00:31:48,611 --> 00:31:50,778
to pull focus from what
you're trying to achieve.
705
00:31:50,781 --> 00:31:52,613
No, I appreciate what you're saying.
706
00:31:52,616 --> 00:31:53,835
But he's a president.
707
00:31:53,837 --> 00:31:55,188
Inviting him into the White House
708
00:31:55,191 --> 00:31:58,505
could lift the nation,
project a sense of solidarity.
709
00:31:58,507 --> 00:31:59,573
I'll set it up.
710
00:31:59,575 --> 00:32:00,574
Thank you.
711
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:04,846
Mr. Wright.
712
00:32:04,848 --> 00:32:06,244
Mr. Leonard.
713
00:32:06,247 --> 00:32:08,415
Did you know "Wright"
comes from the Old English?
714
00:32:08,417 --> 00:32:11,218
- It means "shaper of wood."
- Huh.
715
00:32:11,220 --> 00:32:13,768
And here I was thinking
it meant "adulterer."
716
00:32:13,771 --> 00:32:15,756
Well, it intrigues me
you never knew the meaning
717
00:32:15,758 --> 00:32:18,158
of your last name,
considering you picked it.
718
00:32:21,631 --> 00:32:24,030
Is there something I can
help you with, Mr. Leonard?
719
00:32:24,032 --> 00:32:27,067
Yeah, I'm curious how
the Tribune and the Post
720
00:32:27,069 --> 00:32:29,936
both did stories on my
"return" to journalism
721
00:32:29,938 --> 00:32:32,105
on the exact same day.
722
00:32:32,107 --> 00:32:34,975
You're a Pulitzer winner making
a comeback with Teen Mode.
723
00:32:34,977 --> 00:32:36,371
Don't you think that's newsworthy?
724
00:32:36,374 --> 00:32:39,146
And the fact that I lost my
credentials from the Herald
725
00:32:39,148 --> 00:32:41,948
due to rogue tactics that
border more on extortion
726
00:32:41,950 --> 00:32:43,949
than journalism.
727
00:32:43,951 --> 00:32:45,090
It's public record.
728
00:32:45,093 --> 00:32:47,953
You know that I can't, uh...
control what the press pushes out.
729
00:32:47,955 --> 00:32:49,722
No. Of course you can't.
730
00:32:49,724 --> 00:32:51,749
You just read announcements
handed to you by the President.
731
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,728
Well, I must say, I am
actually flattered, so...
732
00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:57,764
To feel somewhat relevant again?
733
00:33:01,135 --> 00:33:03,235
When I was on the debate
team at Northwestern,
734
00:33:03,237 --> 00:33:04,970
I learned that discrediting a source
735
00:33:04,972 --> 00:33:06,806
is the oldest trick in the book.
736
00:33:06,808 --> 00:33:09,574
It's bush league, but it's effective
737
00:33:09,576 --> 00:33:12,644
if done properly under
two circumstances.
738
00:33:12,646 --> 00:33:14,113
One... It's a last resort,
739
00:33:14,115 --> 00:33:15,647
and two... When you're confronted
740
00:33:15,649 --> 00:33:18,216
with a truth you can't refute.
741
00:33:20,191 --> 00:33:21,985
Now, I would say
"goodbye" in Old English,
742
00:33:21,987 --> 00:33:24,254
but I-I honestly can't pronounce it.
743
00:33:24,257 --> 00:33:25,956
But apparently, it wouldn't matter.
744
00:33:25,958 --> 00:33:29,966
So... adieu, Mr. Wright.
745
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:40,349
Sir, you really think
that is a good idea?
746
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:42,168
I think the people
have every right to know
747
00:33:42,170 --> 00:33:44,103
what MacLeish did with
regards to the shooter.
748
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:45,476
Besides...
749
00:33:45,479 --> 00:33:47,440
I'm not comfortable sitting
on the truth anymore.
750
00:33:47,442 --> 00:33:49,676
- Okay, I'll inform the networks.
- Thank you.
751
00:33:49,678 --> 00:33:51,436
Do you mind if I take
a pass at your remarks?
752
00:33:51,438 --> 00:33:53,205
I was hoping you would.
753
00:33:54,949 --> 00:33:56,916
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Seth.
754
00:34:01,522 --> 00:34:03,495
I didn't ask for another one.
755
00:34:03,498 --> 00:34:06,092
Well, it's from the gentleman
with the insatiable appetite
756
00:34:06,094 --> 00:34:09,928
for loose women and anything alcoholic.
757
00:34:09,930 --> 00:34:11,229
Hello, Abe.
758
00:34:11,231 --> 00:34:13,732
What do you say, Kimble?
759
00:34:13,734 --> 00:34:16,101
Still drinking that turpentine.
760
00:34:16,103 --> 00:34:18,203
Yeah, read all about it.
761
00:34:18,205 --> 00:34:19,772
I have been.
762
00:34:19,774 --> 00:34:22,441
Rookie move by a dittohead neophyte.
763
00:34:22,443 --> 00:34:23,542
Hey!
764
00:34:25,979 --> 00:34:28,947
I wouldn't underestimate Seth Wright.
765
00:34:28,949 --> 00:34:32,083
We're dealing with children, Kimble.
766
00:34:32,085 --> 00:34:34,219
Coddled millennials who
wouldn't know a real story
767
00:34:34,221 --> 00:34:36,454
if it bit them in the ass.
768
00:34:36,456 --> 00:34:39,791
Same old Abe.
769
00:34:39,793 --> 00:34:41,162
Well, you must have hit a nerve,
770
00:34:41,165 --> 00:34:43,254
or the White House wouldn't
be going to all this trouble
771
00:34:43,256 --> 00:34:45,897
to remind people what
a train wreck you are.
772
00:34:45,899 --> 00:34:48,566
I've gotten mocked and ridiculed
by better hatchet men than them.
773
00:34:48,568 --> 00:34:50,635
If they think a smear
campaign is gonna stop me...
774
00:34:52,472 --> 00:34:54,071
...they got another thing coming.
775
00:34:54,073 --> 00:34:57,909
Still, Kirkman's smart, and
he's learning on the job.
776
00:34:57,911 --> 00:35:00,010
I've seen bare-knuckle campaigners
777
00:35:00,012 --> 00:35:02,479
barely make it through a
single term as president.
778
00:35:02,481 --> 00:35:04,881
You can't learn on the job. Come on.
779
00:35:07,753 --> 00:35:09,486
It's taken everything in my empty soul
780
00:35:09,488 --> 00:35:11,521
to get back in this game,
and there's zero chance
781
00:35:11,523 --> 00:35:13,824
I'm gonna let some amateurs in diapers
782
00:35:13,826 --> 00:35:15,992
push me out again.
783
00:35:15,994 --> 00:35:18,995
There's a connection between
MacLeish and the shooter,
784
00:35:18,997 --> 00:35:20,797
and I'm gonna find it.
785
00:35:26,304 --> 00:35:28,805
If anything happens, if
Penny gets a splinter,
786
00:35:28,807 --> 00:35:30,039
I want to know as soon as possible.
787
00:35:30,041 --> 00:35:31,541
I know. I know.
788
00:35:31,543 --> 00:35:33,509
Listen, we're only an hour away, okay?
789
00:35:33,511 --> 00:35:35,511
I'm gonna get back as often as I can.
790
00:35:35,513 --> 00:35:37,813
Okay.
791
00:35:37,815 --> 00:35:40,116
Leo, you all right with this?
792
00:35:40,118 --> 00:35:42,685
I'll be fine. It's a good call.
793
00:35:42,687 --> 00:35:44,187
Come here.
794
00:35:44,189 --> 00:35:45,521
I love you.
795
00:35:45,523 --> 00:35:48,024
I love you, too.
796
00:35:48,026 --> 00:35:50,192
And you.
797
00:35:50,194 --> 00:35:54,530
I need you to look after
your mom and your brother.
798
00:35:54,532 --> 00:35:55,698
What's this?
799
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:57,800
The drawing I was working on.
800
00:36:00,805 --> 00:36:03,873
Sweetheart, I was supposed
to help you finish it.
801
00:36:03,875 --> 00:36:05,974
I'm so sorry.
802
00:36:05,976 --> 00:36:07,209
It's okay.
803
00:36:07,211 --> 00:36:09,311
Come here.
804
00:36:09,313 --> 00:36:11,079
I love you so much.
805
00:36:11,081 --> 00:36:14,716
I love you, too.
806
00:36:14,718 --> 00:36:16,751
Okay. Time to get in.
807
00:36:19,923 --> 00:36:22,557
Call me as soon as you get there.
808
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,758
Please.
809
00:36:27,263 --> 00:36:29,764
I love you with all my heart.
810
00:36:29,766 --> 00:36:32,867
Could you take care of yourself, please?
811
00:36:32,869 --> 00:36:35,870
I promise I will.
812
00:36:35,872 --> 00:36:38,072
Bye, guys.
813
00:36:38,074 --> 00:36:39,673
Bye, Daddy.
814
00:37:28,389 --> 00:37:30,656
My fellow Americans...
815
00:37:30,658 --> 00:37:31,924
Due to recent events,
816
00:37:31,926 --> 00:37:34,159
we live in a time of uncertainty,
817
00:37:34,161 --> 00:37:37,162
leaving us with more
questions than answers.
818
00:37:37,164 --> 00:37:39,065
Tonight, I hope to
put us back on the path
819
00:37:39,067 --> 00:37:40,733
to confidence and strength.
820
00:37:40,735 --> 00:37:43,402
I do not believe that we
can survive as a nation
821
00:37:43,404 --> 00:37:45,137
without transparency.
822
00:37:45,139 --> 00:37:47,906
Without truth, there can be no trust.
823
00:37:47,908 --> 00:37:49,941
As your President, I assure you
824
00:37:49,943 --> 00:37:51,743
that I and my administration
825
00:37:51,745 --> 00:37:54,146
will be honest and open on all matters,
826
00:37:54,148 --> 00:37:57,316
regardless of how the
truth reflects upon me.
827
00:37:57,318 --> 00:37:59,985
This afternoon, a question
was raised by Abe Leonard,
828
00:37:59,987 --> 00:38:01,820
a respected member of our press pool,
829
00:38:01,822 --> 00:38:03,688
which I believe the American people
830
00:38:03,690 --> 00:38:05,824
deserve an answer to.
831
00:38:05,826 --> 00:38:08,960
During the search for the man
who tried to assassinate me,
832
00:38:08,962 --> 00:38:10,308
Vice President MacLeish
833
00:38:10,311 --> 00:38:12,664
unilaterally issued
a shoot-to-kill order
834
00:38:12,666 --> 00:38:14,866
over the strong objections of the FBI
835
00:38:14,868 --> 00:38:17,002
and my Chief of Staff, Aaron Shore.
836
00:38:17,004 --> 00:38:18,369
Because I was in surgery,
837
00:38:18,371 --> 00:38:20,771
I was forced to invoke
the 25th Amendment,
838
00:38:20,773 --> 00:38:22,840
giving the Vice President the authority
839
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:24,342
to make such a call.
840
00:38:24,344 --> 00:38:26,844
It's not a call I
believe I would have made.
841
00:38:26,846 --> 00:38:29,013
Nonetheless, I respected
Peter MacLeish's
842
00:38:29,015 --> 00:38:31,048
experience as a soldier.
843
00:38:31,050 --> 00:38:34,018
He made a split-second
decision that he felt protected
844
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:36,353
not only the federal
agents at the scene,
845
00:38:36,355 --> 00:38:38,956
but the general public, as well.
846
00:38:38,958 --> 00:38:42,026
I know this answer will
not satisfy everyone.
847
00:38:42,028 --> 00:38:45,796
But this is what happened,
and it's how it happened.
848
00:38:45,798 --> 00:38:46,886
In times of crisis,
849
00:38:46,889 --> 00:38:49,833
we must not succumb to
cynicism and mistrust.
850
00:38:49,835 --> 00:38:51,701
Instead, we must maintain faith
851
00:38:51,703 --> 00:38:53,870
while embracing reason and truth,
852
00:38:53,872 --> 00:38:55,838
not speculation and rumor.
853
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,509
Again, we can only attain
this through transparency.
854
00:38:59,511 --> 00:39:01,211
Believe me,
855
00:39:01,213 --> 00:39:04,214
I know what the American
people have been feeling.
856
00:39:04,216 --> 00:39:06,849
I know that there is confusion and fear.
857
00:39:06,851 --> 00:39:10,153
I know that some do not even
feel safe leaving their homes.
858
00:39:10,155 --> 00:39:12,755
President Lincoln
prophetically cautioned,
859
00:39:12,757 --> 00:39:16,258
"A house divided against
itself cannot stand."
860
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:18,828
We are at a similar crossroads.
861
00:39:18,830 --> 00:39:21,397
But Lincoln did not
expect his house to fall,
862
00:39:21,399 --> 00:39:23,265
and neither do I.
863
00:39:23,267 --> 00:39:26,168
The American people must now
make the most important decision
864
00:39:26,170 --> 00:39:28,404
they've had to make in generations.
865
00:39:28,406 --> 00:39:31,907
Will we be united in the
pursuit of truth and reason?
866
00:39:31,909 --> 00:39:35,444
Or break apart because of
conjecture and suspicion?
867
00:39:35,446 --> 00:39:38,214
I trust this nation... My nation...
868
00:39:38,216 --> 00:39:40,348
To make the right choice.
869
00:39:40,350 --> 00:39:42,084
Thank you, good night,
870
00:39:42,086 --> 00:39:44,219
and God bless America.
871
00:39:44,221 --> 00:39:46,287
And we're clear, Mr. President.
872
00:39:47,424 --> 00:39:48,757
Thank you.
873
00:40:37,338 --> 00:40:40,473
Aaron.
874
00:40:40,475 --> 00:40:41,841
Langdon.
875
00:40:41,843 --> 00:40:43,109
Not here.
876
00:40:52,821 --> 00:40:56,255
Aaron Shore's made contact with someone.
877
00:40:56,257 --> 00:40:57,914
That's Charles Langdon.
