1
00:00:00,757 --> 00:00:02,507
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:02,510 --> 00:00:05,351
Vice President Peter
MacLeish was shot and killed
3
00:00:05,354 --> 00:00:06,984
by his wife, Beth MacLeish.
4
00:00:06,987 --> 00:00:08,567
She then turned the gun upon herself
5
00:00:08,569 --> 00:00:09,835
and committed suicide.
6
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:11,443
You are a target.
7
00:00:11,446 --> 00:00:13,579
I want our kids to have a normal life.
8
00:00:13,582 --> 00:00:15,515
I spoke with Mike about Camp David.
9
00:00:15,518 --> 00:00:17,343
He says it's more secure.
10
00:00:17,378 --> 00:00:20,079
President Moss wants to
get back into politics.
11
00:00:20,114 --> 00:00:22,214
He just wants to share the
benefit of his experience.
12
00:00:22,249 --> 00:00:23,915
Inviting him into the White House
13
00:00:23,951 --> 00:00:26,317
could lift the nation,
project a sense of solidarity.
14
00:00:26,353 --> 00:00:27,515
I'll set it up.
15
00:00:27,518 --> 00:00:29,087
Maybe you need some personal time.
16
00:00:29,089 --> 00:00:31,322
- Take maybe a week.
- Yes, sir.
17
00:00:31,358 --> 00:00:33,725
I would like you to be
my acting chief of staff.
18
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,993
I won't let you down.
19
00:00:35,028 --> 00:00:36,227
Aaron?
20
00:00:36,262 --> 00:00:37,714
Aaron Shore's made contact with someone.
21
00:00:37,716 --> 00:00:39,531
That's Charles Langdon.
22
00:00:41,767 --> 00:00:44,235
What the hell's going on? I
thought you were dead, Charlie.
23
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:46,004
Just follow me.
24
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,074
Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today
25
00:00:55,148 --> 00:00:57,848
They just ducked into
St. Angelo's on 10th.
26
00:00:59,619 --> 00:01:02,219
Copy. Cover the north
entrance. We're a minute out.
27
00:01:06,626 --> 00:01:08,826
Please rise for the blessing.
28
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:12,095
Let us pray.
29
00:01:15,967 --> 00:01:17,034
We go now.
30
00:01:17,069 --> 00:01:18,935
Copy that.
31
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:20,670
Charlie, you got to tell
me what's going on.
32
00:01:20,672 --> 00:01:22,772
Just listen. I've only got a minute.
33
00:01:22,807 --> 00:01:25,315
I need you to do something
for me. My life depends on it.
34
00:01:33,251 --> 00:01:35,217
Go. Go.
35
00:01:40,992 --> 00:01:43,092
- Shore!
- Agent Wells?
36
00:01:43,127 --> 00:01:44,260
Where's Langdon?
37
00:01:44,295 --> 00:01:45,628
H-He took off. I didn't even...
38
00:01:45,664 --> 00:01:47,501
- Which door?
- He walked out that way.
39
00:01:47,504 --> 00:01:48,397
Stay there!
40
00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:50,299
Hendricks! Which door isn't covered?
41
00:01:50,334 --> 00:01:51,667
East side.
42
00:02:06,258 --> 00:02:08,458
Thank you, Ava.
43
00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:10,428
Mr. President, it's nice
to see you without the cane.
44
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:11,761
You must be feeling better.
45
00:02:11,764 --> 00:02:13,063
I am. Thank you.
46
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:14,464
We're compiling a short
list of VP candidates
47
00:02:14,466 --> 00:02:15,608
for you to look over,
48
00:02:15,611 --> 00:02:17,467
as well as more potential
cabinet appointees.
49
00:02:17,469 --> 00:02:19,336
Unfortunately, it's
still slim pickings, sir.
50
00:02:19,371 --> 00:02:20,637
Most people are very apprehensive
51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,004
about joining the new administration.
52
00:02:22,006 --> 00:02:23,273
There's just too much uncertainty.
53
00:02:23,275 --> 00:02:24,641
Well, hopefully, former President Moss
54
00:02:24,643 --> 00:02:26,443
can help with that... He
promised a list of names
55
00:02:26,445 --> 00:02:28,177
and to throw his weight
around until they said yes.
56
00:02:28,179 --> 00:02:29,446
I'm seeing him tomorrow, right?
57
00:02:29,481 --> 00:02:30,980
Yes. Your meeting is set for midday.
58
00:02:31,015 --> 00:02:32,449
I've also set up an informal dinner
59
00:02:32,484 --> 00:02:34,351
at the Residence with the First Lady.
60
00:02:34,386 --> 00:02:36,152
Unless, of course, she's not available.
61
00:02:36,187 --> 00:02:38,487
No, no, no. She'll be there.
62
00:02:38,522 --> 00:02:40,122
I take it you're a
fan of President Moss?
63
00:02:40,125 --> 00:02:41,357
I handed out yard signs
64
00:02:41,392 --> 00:02:43,824
during his first campaign, actually.
65
00:02:43,862 --> 00:02:45,261
Excuse me.
66
00:02:53,571 --> 00:02:56,338
So, how long have you and
Langdon been in contact?
67
00:02:56,374 --> 00:02:58,507
We haven't been in contact.
68
00:02:58,542 --> 00:03:00,376
I told you I thought he was dead.
69
00:03:00,411 --> 00:03:02,043
He just walked up to me on the street.
70
00:03:02,079 --> 00:03:03,279
And yet, you went with him.
71
00:03:03,314 --> 00:03:05,347
What was I gonna do?
72
00:03:05,383 --> 00:03:07,516
I need to know word-for-word what he said.
73
00:03:07,551 --> 00:03:09,285
Don't leave anything out.
74
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,886
Okay, but he didn't say much.
75
00:03:10,921 --> 00:03:12,553
He... He was extremely paranoid...
76
00:03:12,589 --> 00:03:14,322
Just constantly looking
over his shoulder
77
00:03:14,357 --> 00:03:18,160
like he was being hunted or something.
78
00:03:18,195 --> 00:03:20,028
He said his life depended on it.
79
00:03:22,332 --> 00:03:23,631
Langdon wants a deal?
80
00:03:23,667 --> 00:03:26,301
Yes, sir... immunity in
exchange for information.
81
00:03:26,336 --> 00:03:28,536
And a new life in witness protection.
82
00:03:28,571 --> 00:03:30,971
That's not gonna happen.
83
00:03:31,007 --> 00:03:32,873
The only thing Langdon
has left to bargain for
84
00:03:32,909 --> 00:03:33,965
is his life.
85
00:03:34,001 --> 00:03:35,801
What kind of information
do you think he has?
86
00:03:35,804 --> 00:03:37,912
Sir, we don't know yet, but
he's our only known connection
87
00:03:37,914 --> 00:03:39,314
to the conspiracy.
88
00:03:39,349 --> 00:03:41,015
Information from him
could be invaluable.
89
00:03:41,050 --> 00:03:42,383
Or not... I mean, for all we know,
90
00:03:42,385 --> 00:03:44,218
he could still be working
with the conspirators.
91
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:46,420
Langdon contacted me several
times after the bombing.
92
00:03:46,455 --> 00:03:48,622
He's the one that put me
onto MacLeish. Without him...
93
00:03:50,059 --> 00:03:51,325
I'd probably be dead.
94
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,894
Mr. President, I've
spent my entire career
95
00:03:53,930 --> 00:03:55,362
tracking down stone-cold criminals
96
00:03:55,397 --> 00:03:57,517
who'd make you swear they
were as pure as driven snow.
97
00:03:57,533 --> 00:03:58,858
We need more information.
98
00:03:58,861 --> 00:04:00,300
And in a perfect world,
we would have that.
99
00:04:00,302 --> 00:04:01,501
We don't have time.
100
00:04:01,537 --> 00:04:03,403
Shore was given 24 hours to respond.
101
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,672
If we don't use it,
Langdon's in the wind.
102
00:04:05,708 --> 00:04:08,007
This could be a giant setup.
103
00:04:11,714 --> 00:04:13,480
You said he's running scared.
104
00:04:16,331 --> 00:04:18,132
Bring him in.
105
00:04:19,238 --> 00:04:25,972
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --
106
00:04:31,099 --> 00:04:33,265
- Morning.
- Morning. What is that?
107
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:36,569
This is a bulletproof vest.
108
00:04:36,604 --> 00:04:38,537
I know what it is. Why do you have it?
109
00:04:38,573 --> 00:04:40,138
It's really just ceremonial,
110
00:04:40,174 --> 00:04:42,608
but, uh, each press
secretary passes this on down
111
00:04:42,643 --> 00:04:44,243
to the next press secretary,
112
00:04:44,278 --> 00:04:46,479
and I figured, since you're
now acting chief of staff,
113
00:04:46,514 --> 00:04:48,614
maybe a loan was in order.
114
00:04:51,352 --> 00:04:52,417
Emily Rhodes.
115
00:04:53,453 --> 00:04:54,619
I'm on my way.
116
00:04:54,654 --> 00:04:56,121
You want me to hang this up somewhere?
117
00:04:56,123 --> 00:04:57,122
I'm good.
118
00:04:57,157 --> 00:04:58,257
What, you don't want it?
119
00:04:58,292 --> 00:05:00,225
Thanks, though.
120
00:05:00,261 --> 00:05:01,260
Fine.
121
00:05:03,175 --> 00:05:05,889
_
122
00:05:14,674 --> 00:05:16,508
Good morning, Mr. President.
123
00:05:16,543 --> 00:05:20,011
This situation in Naruba...
What do you know about it?
124
00:05:20,046 --> 00:05:22,313
A guerilla warlord broke a
cease-fire with the government.
125
00:05:22,315 --> 00:05:23,981
His name's Atsu Kalame.
126
00:05:24,017 --> 00:05:25,783
He's got a militia force 10,000 strong.
127
00:05:25,818 --> 00:05:27,518
He's known to utilize child soldiers,
128
00:05:27,553 --> 00:05:29,753
mass amputations, and human trafficking
129
00:05:29,789 --> 00:05:32,189
as part of his terror campaign.
130
00:05:32,225 --> 00:05:34,591
I served near there in the Peace Corps,
131
00:05:34,627 --> 00:05:35,659
25...
132
00:05:37,363 --> 00:05:40,096
more than 25 years ago.
133
00:05:40,132 --> 00:05:42,666
They were some of the kindest
people I've ever known.
134
00:05:42,701 --> 00:05:45,135
The brief said families
are racing to the borders,
135
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:46,269
trying to escape.
136
00:05:47,339 --> 00:05:49,139
I can't even imagine.
137
00:05:51,043 --> 00:05:53,811
Reach out to State. We
need to do something.
138
00:05:53,846 --> 00:05:56,346
Yes, sir.
139
00:06:40,458 --> 00:06:42,124
Mr. Langdon.
140
00:06:48,098 --> 00:06:49,731
Where do you want me to start?
141
00:06:49,766 --> 00:06:51,600
How about the beginning?
142
00:06:51,635 --> 00:06:53,602
Okay. The beginning would be Claudine.
143
00:06:53,637 --> 00:06:56,605
Uh... Claudine Poyet.
144
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,742
We met at the Meridian
Ball four years ago.
145
00:07:00,777 --> 00:07:02,776
I was coming off a nasty
divorce at the time.
146
00:07:02,812 --> 00:07:04,678
I thought I was in love.
147
00:07:04,714 --> 00:07:06,680
Clearly, she had other things in mind.
148
00:07:06,716 --> 00:07:09,583
When I found out what was going on...
149
00:07:11,321 --> 00:07:13,087
You've got to believe me
150
00:07:13,123 --> 00:07:15,256
that when I figured it
out, I tried to stop it.
151
00:07:15,291 --> 00:07:16,724
I mean, those were my friends that died,
152
00:07:16,726 --> 00:07:18,392
that was my president that died,
153
00:07:18,427 --> 00:07:20,427
and I wish I had died with them!
154
00:07:24,333 --> 00:07:26,400
Okay.
155
00:07:26,435 --> 00:07:28,101
At first, it was just little things.
156
00:07:28,137 --> 00:07:31,271
She... She worked for
a big contracting firm.
157
00:07:31,306 --> 00:07:32,706
At least, she said she did.
158
00:07:32,742 --> 00:07:35,242
And so she asked me to
help her get some Intel
159
00:07:35,277 --> 00:07:37,411
on some government highway contract.
160
00:07:37,446 --> 00:07:39,112
It was that sort of thing for a while.
161
00:07:40,682 --> 00:07:42,782
And then she asked to
see the threat assessment
162
00:07:42,817 --> 00:07:44,698
on the Capitol renovation.
163
00:07:47,622 --> 00:07:48,888
Room 105.
164
00:07:48,924 --> 00:07:51,758
And that didn't make you suspicious?
165
00:07:51,793 --> 00:07:52,892
That's treason, Langdon.
166
00:07:52,928 --> 00:07:54,326
No. No!
167
00:07:54,362 --> 00:07:55,802
Who could imagine that they would've
168
00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:58,397
used that information
in that way at the time?
169
00:07:58,433 --> 00:08:00,567
The only reason I haven't
put a bullet in my head
170
00:08:00,602 --> 00:08:03,736
is the thought that
maybe I could help...
171
00:08:03,772 --> 00:08:06,138
make this right.
172
00:08:06,174 --> 00:08:07,906
Why else do you think I'm here?
173
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:14,246
Claudine Poyet...
174
00:08:14,282 --> 00:08:16,215
How do I know she really exists?
175
00:08:18,219 --> 00:08:19,651
I have a picture.
176
00:08:19,687 --> 00:08:20,919
I have a picture of her.
177
00:08:20,955 --> 00:08:22,521
She hated having her picture taken,
178
00:08:22,557 --> 00:08:25,490
but one morning, she was, uh, sleeping,
179
00:08:25,525 --> 00:08:26,959
and...
180
00:08:26,994 --> 00:08:28,627
I took this.
181
00:08:44,711 --> 00:08:46,177
That's her.
182
00:08:48,493 --> 00:08:49,759
That's her.
183
00:08:56,838 --> 00:08:59,121
General Contreras.
Thank you for joining.
184
00:08:59,156 --> 00:09:00,956
What is the situation on the ground?
185
00:09:00,991 --> 00:09:03,526
We've got satellite photos
less than three hours old, sir.
186
00:09:03,561 --> 00:09:05,328
They put Kalame and his rebel forces
187
00:09:05,363 --> 00:09:07,733
approximately two days out
from the capital city of Soji,
188
00:09:07,736 --> 00:09:09,331
with nothing in between to stop them.
189
00:09:09,334 --> 00:09:11,233
I'll reach out to the U.N. Ambassador.
190
00:09:11,268 --> 00:09:12,901
Maybe he'll have better luck than I did
191
00:09:12,937 --> 00:09:15,370
convincing the Security
Council to vote on a resolution.
192
00:09:15,405 --> 00:09:17,239
Why is the U.N. dragging their feet?
193
00:09:17,274 --> 00:09:20,408
Russia has been protesting
possible U.N. involvement
194
00:09:20,444 --> 00:09:22,044
with Ukraine.
195
00:09:22,079 --> 00:09:25,080
They're likely to veto
all peacekeeping moves.
196
00:09:25,115 --> 00:09:28,183
This has all the markings
of a potential genocide.
197
00:09:28,219 --> 00:09:29,168
Yes, sir.
198
00:09:29,216 --> 00:09:30,815
Well, that's not acceptable to me.
199
00:09:30,818 --> 00:09:33,054
- Are you proposing a military response?
- Maybe.
200
00:09:33,089 --> 00:09:34,889
I want all my options on the table...
201
00:09:34,924 --> 00:09:36,658
Military or otherwise...
Within the hour.
202
00:09:36,693 --> 00:09:38,326
That'll be all.
203
00:09:39,596 --> 00:09:41,596
Sir, President Moss is arriving now.
204
00:09:41,631 --> 00:09:43,565
Okay.
205
00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:48,502
Morning.
206
00:09:48,537 --> 00:09:49,503
Good morning.
207
00:09:49,538 --> 00:09:51,372
Good morning.
208
00:09:51,407 --> 00:09:52,406
How are you, gentlemen?
209
00:09:52,441 --> 00:09:54,008
Mr. President. Welcome back.
210
00:09:54,043 --> 00:09:55,109
Thank you, dear.
211
00:09:55,144 --> 00:09:56,244
Mr. President, it's an honor.
212
00:09:56,246 --> 00:09:58,012
Nice to see you.
213
00:09:58,047 --> 00:09:59,347
Welcome back, Mr. President.
214
00:09:59,382 --> 00:10:01,082
Henry. How are the kids?
215
00:10:01,117 --> 00:10:02,916
Sara must be, what... 53 now?
216
00:10:02,951 --> 00:10:04,585
Close... 22, sir.
217
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:06,520
Blink of an eye, Henry. Am I right?
218
00:10:06,555 --> 00:10:08,321
You are indeed, Mr. President.
219
00:10:13,763 --> 00:10:15,262
Mr. President.
220
00:10:16,732 --> 00:10:18,465
President Moss.
221
00:10:18,501 --> 00:10:20,100
Mr. President.
222
00:10:20,135 --> 00:10:21,734
It's an honor to have you here, sir.
223
00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:23,403
Thank you, Ava.
224
00:10:28,076 --> 00:10:30,410
Ah. View never gets old, does it?
225
00:10:30,445 --> 00:10:34,114
I don't know. I-I haven't
been here that long yet.
226
00:10:34,117 --> 00:10:35,001
Indeed.
227
00:10:35,004 --> 00:10:36,582
I can't tell you how special it is
228
00:10:36,584 --> 00:10:38,384
to finally meet you face-to-face.
229
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,286
And I want you to know that I am open
230
00:10:40,321 --> 00:10:42,254
to hearing any advice
that you have to offer.
231
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:43,756
Well...
232
00:10:43,792 --> 00:10:46,959
first piece of advice my
predecessor gave me was,
233
00:10:46,994 --> 00:10:49,261
"Don't listen to the
advice of your predecessor."
234
00:10:50,598 --> 00:10:52,965
Well, I'll take that under advisement.
235
00:10:53,947 --> 00:10:57,569
All joking aside, I look up to you, sir,
236
00:10:57,604 --> 00:11:00,139
and I would love to hear how
you think I'm doing so far.
237
00:11:01,809 --> 00:11:03,275
No, you wouldn't.
238
00:11:05,646 --> 00:11:06,979
I-I'm sorry?
239
00:11:07,014 --> 00:11:08,314
Total honesty?
240
00:11:10,262 --> 00:11:11,529
Yes... always.
241
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:16,488
You were handed an
impossible job, son...
242
00:11:16,523 --> 00:11:18,323
A political non-entity,
243
00:11:18,358 --> 00:11:21,493
never ran for office,
never served in uniform,
244
00:11:21,528 --> 00:11:25,330
suddenly thrust into the
most powerful job in the world
245
00:11:25,365 --> 00:11:29,167
during an unprecedented crisis.
246
00:11:29,202 --> 00:11:31,436
Hell, you shouldn't have
expected much of yourself.
247
00:11:31,471 --> 00:11:34,305
And the people shouldn't have, either.
248
00:11:34,341 --> 00:11:36,007
Well...
249
00:11:36,042 --> 00:11:37,608
I asked for honesty.
250
00:11:37,643 --> 00:11:39,177
Well, don't get me wrong.
251
00:11:39,212 --> 00:11:41,179
You've made some great strides.
252
00:11:41,214 --> 00:11:43,447
I give you a passing grade, professor.
253
00:11:43,483 --> 00:11:46,650
But, uh, the handling of Majid Nassar,
254
00:11:46,686 --> 00:11:48,686
the way you let the Russians
play you like a fiddle
255
00:11:48,721 --> 00:11:50,688
when it came to that damn track coach,
256
00:11:50,723 --> 00:11:52,723
not to mention our late vice president
257
00:11:52,758 --> 00:11:57,327
ordering the FBI to kill the
man who tried to kill you.
258
00:11:57,363 --> 00:11:59,729
Company scuttlebutt is that
that was no coincidence.
259
00:11:59,764 --> 00:12:01,698
That's an ongoing investigation, sir.
260
00:12:01,733 --> 00:12:03,467
Oh, no, no. I get it.
261
00:12:03,502 --> 00:12:05,469
Believe me, I do.
262
00:12:05,504 --> 00:12:08,705
Running this country is
the hardest job there is.
263
00:12:08,740 --> 00:12:11,475
Problem is, with everything
that's been flying at you,
264
00:12:11,510 --> 00:12:13,276
you're not actually running it.
265
00:12:14,969 --> 00:12:18,004
You're reacting, not leading.
266
00:12:20,118 --> 00:12:24,220
But it's like I said...
You were simply outgunned.
267
00:12:24,255 --> 00:12:26,155
So don't be too hard on yourself.
268
00:12:30,261 --> 00:12:32,194
I won't, Mr. President.
269
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:33,829
I'll let you take care of that.
270
00:12:35,766 --> 00:12:37,733
I'm told you had some names for me...
271
00:12:37,768 --> 00:12:39,402
Cabinet positions.
272
00:12:39,437 --> 00:12:40,702
I sure as hell do.
273
00:12:43,107 --> 00:12:46,075
Now, these are some damn fine people,
274
00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:48,677
and I think they'll be
able to help you out.
275
00:12:48,712 --> 00:12:50,412
Thank you.
276
00:12:53,717 --> 00:12:56,418
You, uh, got any Wild
Turkey lying about?
277
00:12:56,453 --> 00:12:59,254
I used to keep some in that drawer.
278
00:12:59,289 --> 00:13:00,422
No, I'm sorry.
279
00:13:00,457 --> 00:13:02,390
Each his own.
280
00:13:02,426 --> 00:13:04,859
Mind if I call the kitchen?
281
00:13:04,894 --> 00:13:06,727
Sure. Go ahead.
282
00:13:10,567 --> 00:13:12,434
Yeah.
283
00:13:12,469 --> 00:13:13,701
How are you?
284
00:13:22,645 --> 00:13:24,779
Uh, okay, this is scary. What is it?
285
00:13:24,814 --> 00:13:26,814
This is the threat assessment
file you had recalled
286
00:13:26,816 --> 00:13:28,616
on June 23, 2015.
287
00:13:28,651 --> 00:13:29,817
What the hell are you talking about?
288
00:13:29,819 --> 00:13:31,552
Who even generated this file?
289
00:13:31,588 --> 00:13:33,621
You had this file
electronically retrieved
290
00:13:33,656 --> 00:13:35,289
from a list of top government officials
291
00:13:35,324 --> 00:13:36,591
before they had a chance to study it.
292
00:13:36,593 --> 00:13:38,325
W-Well, okay, that would explain it.
293
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,520
If I did it electronically,
I never would've seen this.
294
00:13:40,529 --> 00:13:41,975
But you remember withdrawing it?
295
00:13:41,978 --> 00:13:43,048
Well, o-of course not!
296
00:13:43,051 --> 00:13:44,965
Langdon asked me to
do a number of things,
297
00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:46,166
and believe me, if I would've
seen something like this,
298
00:13:46,168 --> 00:13:47,493
I would remember it.
299
00:13:47,496 --> 00:13:49,336
Is this why Emily was snooping
through my phone records?
300
00:13:49,338 --> 00:13:50,504
You tell me.
301
00:13:50,539 --> 00:13:52,306
Well, you were tailing Langdon.
302
00:13:52,341 --> 00:13:54,173
Why didn't you just pick
him up and ask him yourself?
303
00:13:54,175 --> 00:13:55,809
We weren't tailing Langdon.
304
00:14:01,683 --> 00:14:04,450
I mean, do I need an attorney?
305
00:14:04,486 --> 00:14:06,319
You're free to walk anytime.
306
00:14:06,354 --> 00:14:07,687
Right now, you're
just a friendly witness
307
00:14:07,689 --> 00:14:09,322
in an investigation... Nothing more.
308
00:14:09,357 --> 00:14:10,923
Yeah, but you were following me.
309
00:14:10,958 --> 00:14:12,478
Mr. Shore, the Bureau's investigating
310
00:14:12,494 --> 00:14:13,726
the greatest crime ever committed
311
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:16,162
against the government
of the United States.
312
00:14:16,197 --> 00:14:17,877
If you can contribute
to our understanding,
313
00:14:17,898 --> 00:14:20,699
it would be a great service.
314
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,169
So let me ask you again.
315
00:14:23,204 --> 00:14:26,439
To the best of your memory,
316
00:14:26,474 --> 00:14:28,941
what can you tell us about this file?
317
00:14:40,521 --> 00:14:41,987
- Hey.
- Hi.
318
00:14:42,023 --> 00:14:42,988
Welcome back.
319
00:14:43,024 --> 00:14:44,456
How are you?
320
00:14:44,491 --> 00:14:45,957
- I'm all right.
- You okay?
321
00:14:47,827 --> 00:14:48,860
I really missed you.
322
00:14:48,895 --> 00:14:50,295
Come on.
323
00:14:50,330 --> 00:14:51,729
I was only gone for a day.
324
00:14:51,765 --> 00:14:54,666
I know. It just...
feels longer than that.
325
00:14:54,701 --> 00:14:55,867
- How are the kids?
- Good.
326
00:14:55,902 --> 00:14:58,970
Penny has discovered horseback riding.
327
00:14:59,005 --> 00:15:00,304
Wow.
328
00:15:00,307 --> 00:15:01,474
That was fast.
329
00:15:01,477 --> 00:15:05,242
And she's already decided
that she's gonna ask you
330
00:15:05,278 --> 00:15:07,011
to buy her a pony for her birthday.
331
00:15:07,047 --> 00:15:09,013
Well, she can always ask.
332
00:15:09,049 --> 00:15:10,014
How's Leo?
333
00:15:10,050 --> 00:15:11,515
He's really good.
334
00:15:11,551 --> 00:15:13,484
This has really made
him grow up, you know?
335
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,419
I'm proud of him.
336
00:15:15,454 --> 00:15:17,555
He understands that
this is temporary, right?
337
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:19,022
I mean, they both know
338
00:15:19,058 --> 00:15:21,258
that this is just until
everything calms down?
339
00:15:21,294 --> 00:15:22,626
Yeah, they know.
340
00:15:23,596 --> 00:15:25,229
Okay, good.
341
00:15:26,031 --> 00:15:27,030
How is your mother?
342
00:15:27,066 --> 00:15:28,532
She sends her love.
343
00:15:28,568 --> 00:15:29,700
Uh-huh.
344
00:15:29,735 --> 00:15:32,035
She still wish I was a doctor?
345
00:15:32,071 --> 00:15:34,504
You got to let that go.
You're never gonna impress her.
346
00:15:34,539 --> 00:15:36,000
She's Russian.
347
00:15:36,809 --> 00:15:40,276
So, how was Cornelius Moss?
348
00:15:40,312 --> 00:15:41,778
Uh, that went a little differently
349
00:15:41,814 --> 00:15:43,613
- than I expected.
- How so?
350
00:15:43,648 --> 00:15:45,315
I thought he'd be a
little more sympathetic
351
00:15:45,317 --> 00:15:46,750
to my situation.
352
00:15:46,785 --> 00:15:48,384
Hmm.
353
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:50,737
Well, we'll just have to
charm him at dinner tonight.
354
00:15:51,723 --> 00:15:52,955
Come in.
355
00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:55,003
Sorry, sir. It's time to go.
356
00:15:55,045 --> 00:15:56,445
I'll be right there.
357
00:15:58,005 --> 00:15:59,205
Hey.
358
00:16:11,976 --> 00:16:13,675
Sit down, Charlie.
359
00:16:19,219 --> 00:16:21,633
You're responsible for the
deaths of over 1,000 people...
360
00:16:21,652 --> 00:16:23,084
The leaders of this country.
361
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,720
I had no idea what was going to happen.
362
00:16:24,755 --> 00:16:26,355
How could I know that
the entire government
363
00:16:26,357 --> 00:16:27,456
was going to be taken out?
364
00:16:27,491 --> 00:16:28,724
I'm not a monster.
365
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:30,592
You had no idea?!
366
00:16:30,628 --> 00:16:32,093
You and Peter MacLeish were the only two
367
00:16:32,095 --> 00:16:33,362
to survive the bombing!
368
00:16:33,365 --> 00:16:34,996
How do you explain that?
369
00:16:35,031 --> 00:16:37,466
Because I was never there.
370
00:16:37,501 --> 00:16:39,331
I swear. I've told them everything.
371
00:16:39,334 --> 00:16:40,534
Tell me.
372
00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:44,939
On the day of the State of the Union,
373
00:16:44,975 --> 00:16:47,708
I got a phone call from
a woman I'd come to know...
374
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,813
...who had blackmail information on me.
375
00:16:51,848 --> 00:16:54,448
She said she had one
last job for me to do.
376
00:16:54,484 --> 00:16:55,949
What was it?
377
00:16:57,953 --> 00:17:00,621
She wanted me to name
you Designated Survivor.
378
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:10,061
Why did she want me named
as the Designated Survivor?
379
00:17:10,063 --> 00:17:12,387
When I refused to make the call,
she wouldn't tell me.
380
00:17:12,389 --> 00:17:13,488
Not good enough.
381
00:17:13,524 --> 00:17:14,823
I am telling you the truth.
382
00:17:14,858 --> 00:17:16,491
If you didn't make the call, who did?
383
00:17:16,527 --> 00:17:18,326
I don't know, but it
must have been somebody
384
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:20,328
with enough clearance to make that move.
385
00:17:20,363 --> 00:17:21,429
This is a waste of time.
386
00:17:21,464 --> 00:17:23,564
Sir. Please hear him out.
387
00:17:31,507 --> 00:17:33,507
She said if I refused,
I was a dead man...
388
00:17:39,381 --> 00:17:40,395
Yes?
389
00:17:40,398 --> 00:17:43,283
...and that they had eyes everywhere.
390
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:46,186
And then she told me the
color of the tie I was wearing.
391
00:17:46,221 --> 00:17:47,555
I was in my office
392
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:49,723
in the most secure
building on the planet,
393
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,859
and she knows what color my tie is.
394
00:17:52,894 --> 00:17:54,853
So I hung up.
395
00:17:54,856 --> 00:17:56,896
I didn't care about
the blackmail anymore.
396
00:17:56,898 --> 00:17:58,798
I knew I just had to
tell somebody what I knew
397
00:17:58,834 --> 00:18:00,202
before they got to me.
398
00:18:00,205 --> 00:18:02,035
Clearly, the White House
wasn't safe anymore,
399
00:18:02,037 --> 00:18:03,736
so I got the hell out of there.
400
00:18:03,772 --> 00:18:05,638
I got to my car, and I...
401
00:18:05,674 --> 00:18:08,374
I just... started to drive.
402
00:18:08,409 --> 00:18:09,876
I didn't know who to trust.
403
00:18:09,911 --> 00:18:12,378
But then I realized
it had to be the FBI.
404
00:18:12,413 --> 00:18:14,481
I had to get to the director himself,
405
00:18:14,516 --> 00:18:17,851
so I went straight for Alexandria.
406
00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:22,522
And I almost made it...
407
00:18:26,294 --> 00:18:28,694
...when I lost control of my car.
408
00:18:30,764 --> 00:18:33,332
Yeah. They'd hacked it somehow.
409
00:19:00,793 --> 00:19:02,293
I was thrown clear of the car,
410
00:19:02,329 --> 00:19:04,429
and I was knocked unconscious.
411
00:19:10,803 --> 00:19:13,938
I made my way up to the street.
412
00:19:24,316 --> 00:19:26,651
And that's when I saw the
orange glow on the horizon
413
00:19:26,686 --> 00:19:28,786
where the Capitol used to be...
414
00:19:28,821 --> 00:19:31,055
and the f-flames and the...
415
00:19:38,664 --> 00:19:40,464
And I knew I failed.
416
00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:43,300
So, yeah, I ran.
417
00:19:45,401 --> 00:19:47,567
And I've been running ever since.
418
00:19:51,043 --> 00:19:52,609
Why should I believe any of this?
419
00:19:52,644 --> 00:19:54,110
Sir, we checked the surveillance footage
420
00:19:54,112 --> 00:19:55,612
from the State of the Union.
421
00:19:55,647 --> 00:19:57,313
There's no record of him being there.
422
00:19:57,348 --> 00:19:58,982
A dive team checked the river.
423
00:19:59,017 --> 00:20:00,483
They found the car.
424
00:20:05,790 --> 00:20:07,789
Give me the room for a minute, please.
425
00:20:10,127 --> 00:20:11,793
Mike, it's all right.
426
00:20:25,041 --> 00:20:27,809
You should know, as
far as I'm concerned,
427
00:20:27,844 --> 00:20:30,485
even if you didn't do the
planning, you're complicit.
428
00:20:31,547 --> 00:20:33,514
You want to make a deal
for your life with me,
429
00:20:33,549 --> 00:20:34,849
I expect more.
430
00:20:34,884 --> 00:20:37,518
I've told you everything I know.
431
00:20:37,553 --> 00:20:39,686
Last chance.
432
00:20:39,722 --> 00:20:42,523
Who wanted me as the
Designated Survivor and why?
433
00:20:42,558 --> 00:20:45,692
I don't know, Tom.
434
00:20:45,728 --> 00:20:49,029
Mr. President, I'm sorry,
but I don't know who.
435
00:20:49,064 --> 00:20:52,566
As to why, I wondered that myself.
436
00:20:52,602 --> 00:20:54,901
You're not gonna like this,
but the best I can figure is
437
00:20:54,937 --> 00:20:57,904
that out of all our cabinet members...
438
00:21:00,075 --> 00:21:02,558
...you were the least
qualified to be president.
439
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,480
So, I don't know what the
goal of this conspiracy is.
440
00:21:07,516 --> 00:21:09,683
Is it a regime change?
Maybe it's just anarchy.
441
00:21:09,718 --> 00:21:13,085
Whatever their philosophy...
442
00:21:13,121 --> 00:21:15,188
they probably felt you
were the least likely
443
00:21:15,223 --> 00:21:16,856
to present an obstacle.
444
00:21:21,630 --> 00:21:23,029
Get me a one-pager on Africom
445
00:21:23,064 --> 00:21:24,564
and let the room know
that the White House
446
00:21:24,566 --> 00:21:26,566
is closely monitoring
the situation in Naruba.
447
00:21:26,601 --> 00:21:28,868
The president is taking
this very seriously.
448
00:21:30,437 --> 00:21:31,570
Uh, Seth, you got a sec?
449
00:21:31,605 --> 00:21:33,673
Barely. What's up?
450
00:21:33,708 --> 00:21:35,708
I got a friend that
told me a strange story.
451
00:21:35,743 --> 00:21:36,842
What kind of friend?
452
00:21:36,878 --> 00:21:38,544
Uh, the kind with security clearance.
453
00:21:39,613 --> 00:21:41,047
Okay.
454
00:21:41,082 --> 00:21:42,948
She's an analyst at this
government office park
455
00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:45,417
out in Alexandria.
456
00:21:45,452 --> 00:21:47,586
She says Aaron Shore was
escorted into the facility
457
00:21:47,621 --> 00:21:48,920
by FBI agents.
458
00:21:50,277 --> 00:21:51,790
Your friend's yanking your chain.
459
00:21:51,792 --> 00:21:53,892
He's on leave... Personal time.
460
00:21:53,927 --> 00:21:55,427
Oh, yeah? What's that about?
461
00:21:55,462 --> 00:21:56,595
I just told you.
462
00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:57,929
Thanks for stopping by.
463
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,101
I find out otherwise, Seth,
this is gonna be a story.
464
00:22:03,136 --> 00:22:04,569
And I'm gonna say you denied it.
465
00:22:04,604 --> 00:22:05,737
Knock yourself out.
466
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,775
Despite my urgings and
those of the U.N. Ambassador,
467
00:22:10,811 --> 00:22:12,877
Russia vetoed the Security Council vote
468
00:22:12,913 --> 00:22:14,779
to send peacekeepers back to Naruba.
469
00:22:14,815 --> 00:22:16,447
What are our options?
470
00:22:16,482 --> 00:22:18,782
Mr. President, Naruba's
one of the poorest countries
471
00:22:18,818 --> 00:22:19,917
on the planet.
472
00:22:19,952 --> 00:22:21,151
Friendly governments in the region
473
00:22:21,153 --> 00:22:22,786
lack the interest to take this on.
474
00:22:22,822 --> 00:22:24,788
Where does that leave us?
475
00:22:24,824 --> 00:22:27,124
Best option... we fly in
Reaper hunter-killer UAVs
476
00:22:27,159 --> 00:22:29,159
from Ethiopia and Djibouti to take out
477
00:22:29,195 --> 00:22:31,161
Kalame's rebel forces and his convoy.
478
00:22:31,197 --> 00:22:33,130
Those missiles would
stop the advance, sir.
479
00:22:33,165 --> 00:22:35,132
We could expect heavy rebel casualties.
480
00:22:35,167 --> 00:22:37,167
How much time till the
UAVs are above their target?
481
00:22:37,203 --> 00:22:38,936
Six hours.
482
00:22:38,971 --> 00:22:41,105
How long till the rebel
forces are in the capital?
483
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:42,773
A day... maybe less.
484
00:22:46,045 --> 00:22:47,745
If you want to keep
your options open, sir,
485
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:49,646
I suggest we get those UAVs
off the ground now.
486
00:22:50,983 --> 00:22:51,948
I agree.
487
00:22:51,983 --> 00:22:53,250
Let's do it.
488
00:23:00,223 --> 00:23:01,893
Mr. Shore?
489
00:23:01,951 --> 00:23:04,553
You're free to go.
490
00:23:04,588 --> 00:23:05,787
Good.
491
00:23:05,822 --> 00:23:08,355
My office is asking where I am.
492
00:23:08,391 --> 00:23:10,624
They say a reporter's
been sniffing around.
493
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:12,960
For the record, Langdon
cleared you of any involvement
494
00:23:12,996 --> 00:23:14,796
in the threat assessment file.
495
00:23:14,831 --> 00:23:16,564
Yeah, well, I could have told you that...
496
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:17,832
If somebody would have asked me,
497
00:23:17,834 --> 00:23:19,838
instead of treating me
like some kind of spy.
498
00:23:19,841 --> 00:23:21,803
It's not personal. It's just protocol.
499
00:23:21,838 --> 00:23:23,804
Right. It just feels that way.
500
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:25,839
I mean, a whole lot of
things make sense to me today
501
00:23:25,841 --> 00:23:27,441
that didn't make sense to me yesterday.
502
00:23:27,476 --> 00:23:29,776
My President, my closest
friend in the White House...
503
00:23:29,812 --> 00:23:32,546
Both think I'm capable of treason.
504
00:23:33,636 --> 00:23:36,738
These are dangerous times, Mr. Shore.
505
00:23:38,241 --> 00:23:40,875
But thank you for your cooperation.
506
00:23:43,597 --> 00:23:45,445
No, no, no.
507
00:23:45,481 --> 00:23:47,147
Don't tell me you've
never had the sliders.
508
00:23:47,149 --> 00:23:49,716
I didn't even know
that they were a thing.
509
00:23:49,752 --> 00:23:50,488
Oh!
510
00:23:50,491 --> 00:23:51,933
Gerald, have Tony rustle up
511
00:23:51,936 --> 00:23:54,755
some of those wagyu sliders
with aioli, would you?
512
00:23:54,790 --> 00:23:57,457
I mean... That is not necessary.
513
00:23:57,493 --> 00:24:00,460
Oh, necessary's got nothing
to do with it, my dear.
514
00:24:00,496 --> 00:24:01,995
Right away, sir.
515
00:24:02,030 --> 00:24:03,563
A lot of grief in this job.
516
00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:05,899
You got to take the
gravy wherever you can.
517
00:24:05,934 --> 00:24:08,468
Sir, I was looking at your list,
518
00:24:08,504 --> 00:24:10,970
and I was wondering about
Brett Ambrose for Interior.
519
00:24:11,006 --> 00:24:12,505
Mm-hmm. What about him?
520
00:24:12,540 --> 00:24:14,774
Well, he's been inconsistent
on climate change,
521
00:24:14,809 --> 00:24:18,644
and recently, he opposed a
rule to reduce methane emissions
522
00:24:18,679 --> 00:24:21,114
from oil drilling on public lands, so...
523
00:24:23,651 --> 00:24:26,152
You know, you remind me
so much of my wife, Elaine,
524
00:24:26,187 --> 00:24:27,820
it is downright eerie.
525
00:24:29,813 --> 00:24:30,847
Thank you.
526
00:24:32,226 --> 00:24:35,594
Ambrose is a crusty old bird, no doubt.
527
00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:37,029
But he understands business,
528
00:24:37,064 --> 00:24:38,831
and he wants to make the United States
529
00:24:38,866 --> 00:24:41,934
truly energy-independent,
and that takes compromise.
530
00:24:41,969 --> 00:24:43,769
Hell, that's what the job is all about.
531
00:24:45,072 --> 00:24:48,140
Except... when it comes to the sliders.
532
00:24:50,344 --> 00:24:51,609
Gerald.
533
00:24:54,714 --> 00:24:56,181
Aaron got brought in by the FBI?
534
00:24:56,216 --> 00:24:59,051
Supposedly. I think it's crap. No story.
535
00:24:59,086 --> 00:25:00,185
Oh, for sure.
536
00:25:00,220 --> 00:25:01,686
I, uh, I texted him, though,
537
00:25:01,721 --> 00:25:03,187
just so he's not caught off guard.
538
00:25:03,222 --> 00:25:04,689
Have you heard back?
539
00:25:04,724 --> 00:25:05,723
Not yet.
540
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:07,959
I mean, did you ever imagine
541
00:25:07,994 --> 00:25:10,862
that we would be dealing with
the FBI and assassinations?
542
00:25:10,897 --> 00:25:12,063
And all of this?
543
00:25:12,098 --> 00:25:14,165
Not in a million years.
544
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:21,638
Emily Rhodes.
545
00:25:23,776 --> 00:25:24,875
Thank you.
546
00:25:24,910 --> 00:25:25,977
Should I know?
547
00:25:26,012 --> 00:25:27,544
Not yet.
548
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:28,712
All right.
549
00:25:35,220 --> 00:25:37,020
Greatest show on Earth.
550
00:25:40,258 --> 00:25:43,861
Democracy... The grand experiment.
551
00:25:46,866 --> 00:25:49,065
Let me guess.
552
00:25:49,101 --> 00:25:51,201
Russia vetoed the Security Council vote
553
00:25:51,236 --> 00:25:52,235
on Naruba.
554
00:25:52,270 --> 00:25:53,903
Yes.
555
00:25:53,938 --> 00:25:56,873
And I'm sure the Joint
Chiefs have already emphasized
556
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:59,709
that Naruba is strategically worthless.
557
00:25:59,744 --> 00:26:01,378
People are so damn poor in that country
558
00:26:01,413 --> 00:26:03,913
that it doesn't even
register on economic reports.
559
00:26:03,948 --> 00:26:05,882
They did.
560
00:26:05,917 --> 00:26:08,751
So it all comes down to people.
561
00:26:08,786 --> 00:26:10,887
Human lives.
562
00:26:12,123 --> 00:26:15,024
"The eternal struggle
between two principles...
563
00:26:15,059 --> 00:26:17,959
Right and wrong...
Throughout the world."
564
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:19,361
Abraham Lincoln.
565
00:26:21,232 --> 00:26:23,865
Imagine the courage he must have had...
566
00:26:23,901 --> 00:26:26,868
Standing up for the
basic rights of equality,
567
00:26:26,904 --> 00:26:29,838
knowing he was gonna send
brothers fighting brothers.
568
00:26:32,943 --> 00:26:35,243
I hear you went to,
uh, visit the SEAL team
569
00:26:35,278 --> 00:26:38,914
before they deployed
on the Nassar mission.
570
00:26:38,949 --> 00:26:40,281
Yeah.
571
00:26:40,316 --> 00:26:43,618
It's a noble gesture, but
it does come at a cost...
572
00:26:43,654 --> 00:26:46,587
Putting faces to the lives
of the men you send to die.
573
00:26:49,025 --> 00:26:51,959
We lost a commander... Max Clarkson.
574
00:26:53,463 --> 00:26:54,929
Not a day goes by
575
00:26:54,964 --> 00:26:59,100
that I don't think
about him or his family.
576
00:26:59,135 --> 00:27:01,635
Commander-in-Chief.
577
00:27:01,671 --> 00:27:03,938
It's not just a title.
578
00:27:03,973 --> 00:27:05,940
It is a responsibility.
579
00:27:07,810 --> 00:27:10,410
An awful responsibility.
580
00:27:10,446 --> 00:27:12,780
You were in no way prepared for it,
581
00:27:12,815 --> 00:27:14,648
but you've taken it on.
582
00:27:14,684 --> 00:27:16,249
Bravely, I might add.
583
00:27:17,486 --> 00:27:19,286
Thank you.
584
00:27:19,321 --> 00:27:23,290
And now you have the power
to decide who lives...
585
00:27:23,325 --> 00:27:24,791
and who dies.
586
00:27:27,362 --> 00:27:30,397
It's the loneliest job in the world.
587
00:27:35,704 --> 00:27:37,103
- Mr. President.
- What is it?
588
00:27:37,138 --> 00:27:39,338
Sir, there's been a
complication in Naruba.
589
00:27:39,373 --> 00:27:42,976
We just got Intel that 15
American humanitarian workers
590
00:27:43,011 --> 00:27:45,177
have been taken hostage
by Kalame's militia.
591
00:27:46,609 --> 00:27:49,082
Apparently, he's holding them
in several different vehicles
592
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:50,850
in his convoy.
593
00:27:50,885 --> 00:27:52,851
We don't know which ones.
594
00:27:52,886 --> 00:27:54,686
If you continue with this drone strike,
595
00:27:54,722 --> 00:27:56,482
you won't just be killing
Kalame and his men.
596
00:27:56,491 --> 00:27:58,690
We'll be killing our own.
597
00:27:58,726 --> 00:27:59,858
Come on. Let's go.
598
00:28:03,557 --> 00:28:04,709
Keep your seats.
599
00:28:04,712 --> 00:28:06,405
What the hell happened?
600
00:28:06,408 --> 00:28:08,648
How could we not know that
we had American citizens
601
00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:09,883
working as volunteers in the country?
602
00:28:09,885 --> 00:28:11,517
They were AMCIT, sir...
603
00:28:11,553 --> 00:28:13,853
American citizens who never
registered with an embassy.
604
00:28:13,889 --> 00:28:15,621
We had no way of knowing, Mr. President.
605
00:28:15,656 --> 00:28:18,191
Do we know where they
are? If they've been hurt?
606
00:28:18,226 --> 00:28:20,560
No, only that they're being
kept among Kalame's convoy
607
00:28:20,595 --> 00:28:22,328
so we can't target him or his men.
608
00:28:22,363 --> 00:28:26,566
Same strategy Hezbollah used
when they hijacked TWA 847.
609
00:28:26,601 --> 00:28:28,667
Took all the passengers off the plane,
610
00:28:28,703 --> 00:28:30,138
spread them all around Beirut,
611
00:28:30,170 --> 00:28:32,135
making a counterattack impossible.
612
00:28:32,171 --> 00:28:34,271
How long till the UAVs are over Naruba?
613
00:28:34,274 --> 00:28:35,841
Less than an hour, sir.
614
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:42,191
Tom, about Kalame...
615
00:28:42,226 --> 00:28:43,593
I haven't decided yet.
616
00:28:43,628 --> 00:28:46,095
Well, you need to... And fast.
617
00:28:46,130 --> 00:28:47,770
Those volunteers have
guns to their heads.
618
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:50,432
If we don't attack those rebel forces,
619
00:28:50,468 --> 00:28:52,634
100,000 innocent
civilians in the capital
620
00:28:52,669 --> 00:28:55,371
will have guns to their head, too.
621
00:28:55,406 --> 00:28:58,540
I don't know how to justify
15 lives over 100,000.
622
00:28:58,575 --> 00:29:01,276
It's not just any
15 lives, Mr. President.
623
00:29:01,312 --> 00:29:04,913
It's 15 American lives... Your citizens.
624
00:29:04,948 --> 00:29:07,148
You have a responsibility to them first.
625
00:29:07,183 --> 00:29:09,450
At the expense of everyone else?
626
00:29:09,486 --> 00:29:10,785
Absolutely.
627
00:29:10,821 --> 00:29:13,287
This isn't about bravery or mobility.
628
00:29:13,323 --> 00:29:15,790
This was a failure of intelligence.
629
00:29:15,826 --> 00:29:18,727
Now Kalame's got you
backed into a corner.
630
00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:22,930
No, what you have to do is act swiftly
631
00:29:22,965 --> 00:29:27,635
to secure the safety and
the release of our own.
632
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,641
Then you can decide what you
want to do with that criminal.
633
00:29:37,613 --> 00:29:39,312
Hey, man. You back?
634
00:29:39,348 --> 00:29:40,886
No, no, it's just a quick hit.
635
00:29:40,889 --> 00:29:42,683
Oh, how you been? You haven't, uh...
636
00:29:42,685 --> 00:29:44,618
You haven't returned
my texts in a while.
637
00:29:44,654 --> 00:29:47,320
Well, it's, uh... it's complicated.
638
00:29:47,356 --> 00:29:49,623
You weren't really
with the FBI, were you?
639
00:29:50,552 --> 00:29:53,152
Look, uh, Seth, I'm tired.
640
00:29:53,195 --> 00:29:54,594
No, no, no, it's fine. Come on.
641
00:29:54,629 --> 00:29:56,796
I mean, I know a
non-answer when I hear one.
642
00:29:56,831 --> 00:29:58,631
Look, if I felt you
needed to know something,
643
00:29:58,633 --> 00:30:00,333
- I would tell you.
- Yeah, hey, look,
644
00:30:00,369 --> 00:30:01,868
nobody talks to me around here anymore.
645
00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:03,736
Well, it makes your job a
whole lot easier, doesn't it?
646
00:30:07,543 --> 00:30:09,476
How's Emily doing?
647
00:30:09,511 --> 00:30:10,477
Personally?
648
00:30:10,512 --> 00:30:12,445
No, no... on the job.
649
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,345
Oh.
650
00:30:13,381 --> 00:30:14,847
Uh...
651
00:30:14,883 --> 00:30:17,483
Just... Just great. I
mean, you know Emily, right?
652
00:30:17,518 --> 00:30:19,185
She... She'll get the job done.
653
00:30:19,220 --> 00:30:21,132
Not the same way you
do, but, yeah, she's good.
654
00:30:21,135 --> 00:30:22,855
Good.
655
00:30:22,891 --> 00:30:24,356
Good.
656
00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:27,626
Here.
657
00:30:27,661 --> 00:30:28,860
What's this?
658
00:30:28,896 --> 00:30:30,829
Read it. It could use
a bit of your magic.
659
00:30:30,864 --> 00:30:31,964
Sure.
660
00:30:33,734 --> 00:30:35,867
I know you're right.
661
00:30:35,903 --> 00:30:37,536
I-I don't know how
662
00:30:37,572 --> 00:30:40,639
to potentially sacrifice
100,000 people to save 15.
663
00:30:40,674 --> 00:30:42,874
I-I don't know how to do that.
664
00:30:42,910 --> 00:30:45,376
Well, you know, there
is a diplomatic option
665
00:30:45,412 --> 00:30:46,544
to get them out.
666
00:30:48,015 --> 00:30:49,481
You buy them.
667
00:30:49,516 --> 00:30:50,916
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
668
00:30:50,951 --> 00:30:52,383
I agree with that policy.
669
00:30:52,419 --> 00:30:55,821
Well, there are other cards to play.
670
00:30:55,856 --> 00:30:58,890
You see, right now, Zimbabwe
is sitting on $7 million
671
00:30:58,926 --> 00:31:00,525
of Kalame's cash.
672
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,894
Treasury put sanctions
on them for smuggling.
673
00:31:03,930 --> 00:31:06,664
That money is not going
anywhere right now.
674
00:31:06,699 --> 00:31:09,267
So if we lift their sanctions
675
00:31:09,302 --> 00:31:12,237
in exchange for them releasing
Kalame's cash to him...
676
00:31:12,272 --> 00:31:13,538
Say we get our people back.
677
00:31:13,573 --> 00:31:14,872
What stops me from turning around
678
00:31:14,874 --> 00:31:16,441
and blowing him off
the face of the planet?
679
00:31:16,443 --> 00:31:19,677
Because you give him your word.
680
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:21,578
The world knows that
you're a square dealer,
681
00:31:21,614 --> 00:31:23,480
and now's the time to play that card.
682
00:31:28,487 --> 00:31:29,687
I hate this.
683
00:31:29,722 --> 00:31:31,455
I hate it, too.
684
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:33,923
But that's the world you're
living in, Mr. President.
685
00:31:33,959 --> 00:31:35,526
Sometimes you have to decide
686
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,927
between a bad choice
and no choice at all.
687
00:31:39,295 --> 00:31:42,065
If I were to do this...
688
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:43,400
how would it play out?
689
00:31:43,435 --> 00:31:45,636
Through a man named Austin Silwamba,
690
00:31:45,671 --> 00:31:48,805
a mid-level diplomat in Zimbabwe.
691
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,607
He's a CIA asset that
I've used in the past.
692
00:31:51,643 --> 00:31:53,442
You authorize him to broker a deal
693
00:31:53,478 --> 00:31:56,379
allowing our people to
be taken to safe passage,
694
00:31:56,414 --> 00:31:58,982
to an extraction point.
695
00:31:59,017 --> 00:32:00,583
Then you chopper them out.
696
00:32:03,551 --> 00:32:04,917
Want me to make the call?
697
00:32:12,626 --> 00:32:14,093
Yes.
698
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:23,876
Mr. President?
699
00:32:23,879 --> 00:32:26,347
Ava. Come in.
700
00:32:26,383 --> 00:32:28,516
Austin Silwamba has just landed.
701
00:32:28,551 --> 00:32:30,018
Okay, good. Thank you.
702
00:32:30,053 --> 00:32:31,786
Aaron Shore is outside, sir.
703
00:32:31,821 --> 00:32:34,555
Oh. Please, send him in.
704
00:32:34,590 --> 00:32:36,056
Sir, if this is a bad time...
705
00:32:36,091 --> 00:32:38,692
No, no, no. Aaron, please. Please sit.
706
00:32:41,564 --> 00:32:42,551
I am sorry
707
00:32:42,554 --> 00:32:44,831
about everything that you've
had to go through lately.
708
00:32:44,834 --> 00:32:47,034
But I am so glad to have you back.
709
00:32:47,069 --> 00:32:49,469
I appreciate that, sir, but...
710
00:32:49,504 --> 00:32:50,870
I'm not coming back.
711
00:32:53,075 --> 00:32:54,874
You're angry.
712
00:32:54,910 --> 00:32:56,140
I understand.
713
00:32:56,143 --> 00:32:57,978
Uh... I would be, too.
714
00:32:58,013 --> 00:33:00,013
But I need you to know that
I had the Secret Service
715
00:33:00,015 --> 00:33:02,882
and the FBI investigating
you to clear your name.
716
00:33:02,918 --> 00:33:05,051
And Langdon's testimony did that.
717
00:33:05,086 --> 00:33:06,686
Aaron, please.
718
00:33:07,689 --> 00:33:10,089
Come back and help me govern.
719
00:33:10,124 --> 00:33:13,392
Sir, I'm sure Emily
will do an excellent job,
720
00:33:13,428 --> 00:33:15,061
but right now, I-I-I...
721
00:33:15,096 --> 00:33:17,430
I-I couldn't be as effective.
722
00:33:17,466 --> 00:33:18,431
Not anymore.
723
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:20,532
I don't understand. Why?
724
00:33:20,568 --> 00:33:24,603
Rumor mills are buzzing
about my taking leave.
725
00:33:24,638 --> 00:33:28,441
Word's hit the street I
was interrogated by the FBI.
726
00:33:28,476 --> 00:33:31,743
Now, politics is perception.
We both know that.
727
00:33:31,779 --> 00:33:34,013
My reputation's been damaged.
728
00:33:34,048 --> 00:33:37,115
Aaron, perceptions can be changed.
729
00:33:37,150 --> 00:33:39,685
I'll make a statement.
I'll clear the air.
730
00:33:42,115 --> 00:33:43,721
I won't accept your resignation.
731
00:33:45,659 --> 00:33:48,059
I'm afraid you have no choice, sir.
732
00:33:48,095 --> 00:33:49,962
Seth is distributing my
statement to the press
733
00:33:49,997 --> 00:33:51,530
as we speak.
734
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:54,799
Without talking to me.
735
00:33:54,834 --> 00:33:56,901
I mean no disrespect.
736
00:33:56,936 --> 00:34:00,105
But it is my primary
job to protect you...
737
00:34:00,140 --> 00:34:02,607
Even from your most generous instincts.
738
00:34:02,642 --> 00:34:03,941
Sir, right now,
739
00:34:03,977 --> 00:34:07,045
I'd be a liability to
your administration.
740
00:34:09,483 --> 00:34:11,649
The last thing you need
is any hint of scandal
741
00:34:11,684 --> 00:34:13,083
from your chief of staff.
742
00:34:20,493 --> 00:34:23,694
Serving you has been the
greatest honor of my life.
743
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:31,935
Please, sir.
744
00:34:38,677 --> 00:34:40,444
There isn't anything I can say?
745
00:34:41,514 --> 00:34:43,613
No, sir.
746
00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,053
Aaron, the honor's been mine.
747
00:34:52,624 --> 00:34:53,990
I let you down and...
748
00:34:56,061 --> 00:34:57,318
I'm sorry.
749
00:34:57,321 --> 00:35:00,663
No, that's fine. I was just leaving.
750
00:35:00,698 --> 00:35:01,997
Sir.
751
00:35:04,802 --> 00:35:06,269
Mr. President...
752
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:10,173
Sir?
753
00:35:10,208 --> 00:35:12,508
Yes. I'm sorry.
754
00:35:12,544 --> 00:35:14,477
Silwamba's negotiated with Kalame.
755
00:35:15,713 --> 00:35:17,012
Did we get our people back?
756
00:35:17,048 --> 00:35:18,345
Not yet, sir.
757
00:35:18,348 --> 00:35:21,050
Helicopters are on the way
to the extraction point.
758
00:35:21,085 --> 00:35:23,819
There's a live feed in command ops.
759
00:35:23,854 --> 00:35:25,120
Let's go.
760
00:35:32,461 --> 00:35:34,196
Sir, our people are in those trucks
761
00:35:34,231 --> 00:35:36,064
on the Soji Daka Road.
762
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,166
Where are the Black Hawks?
763
00:35:38,202 --> 00:35:40,535
They're putting down now.
You can track it here.
764
00:36:09,098 --> 00:36:11,865
Sir, all 15 volunteers are outbound.
765
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:12,866
They're free, sir.
766
00:36:19,942 --> 00:36:23,910
General Contreras, are
the UAVs still above Soji?
767
00:36:23,946 --> 00:36:26,246
We're in the process of
recalling them now, sir.
768
00:36:26,281 --> 00:36:27,694
Hold on for a second.
769
00:36:27,697 --> 00:36:28,797
Sir?
770
00:36:30,426 --> 00:36:32,285
You're gonna probably
think this is ridiculous,
771
00:36:32,287 --> 00:36:34,755
but by trade, I was an urban planner.
772
00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:37,257
The deal I made with Kalame
was to not attack his forces.
773
00:36:37,292 --> 00:36:39,792
I didn't say anything
about infrastructure.
774
00:36:39,827 --> 00:36:42,094
I think that if we were
to attack these two bridges
775
00:36:42,130 --> 00:36:44,764
and these choke points
down here in the south,
776
00:36:44,799 --> 00:36:46,732
we could stall his army
from entering the capital
777
00:36:46,768 --> 00:36:48,268
by three, maybe even four days.
778
00:36:50,657 --> 00:36:52,057
Do you agree with that assessment?
779
00:36:52,060 --> 00:36:53,392
Yes, sir.
780
00:36:53,395 --> 00:36:55,027
Good. Take them out.
781
00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:56,208
Yes, sir.
782
00:37:04,856 --> 00:37:05,821
This is Contreras.
783
00:37:05,824 --> 00:37:07,953
Smart.
784
00:37:07,989 --> 00:37:09,989
What are you going to do with the time?
785
00:37:10,024 --> 00:37:12,291
It's not what I'm gonna do with it.
786
00:37:12,326 --> 00:37:13,792
It's what I want you to.
787
00:37:13,827 --> 00:37:15,867
I need you to convince the Russians
788
00:37:15,870 --> 00:37:17,970
that it's in their best
interest to authorize
789
00:37:17,973 --> 00:37:19,672
the peacekeeping force to move in.
790
00:37:19,675 --> 00:37:21,367
As a private citizen?
791
00:37:22,685 --> 00:37:24,936
Preferably as Secretary of State.
792
00:37:24,971 --> 00:37:26,971
I know that you've retired
from public service,
793
00:37:27,007 --> 00:37:28,406
but your country needs you.
794
00:37:29,397 --> 00:37:30,897
I need you.
795
00:37:32,005 --> 00:37:33,812
Hell, you helped me get into this mess.
796
00:37:33,814 --> 00:37:34,946
You might as well help me get out.
797
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,016
Be more than happy to sweeten the deal
798
00:37:38,018 --> 00:37:39,184
with a case of Wild Turkey.
799
00:37:42,189 --> 00:37:45,089
Well...
800
00:37:45,124 --> 00:37:47,124
I got to admit,
801
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:48,659
I have been getting a little tired
802
00:37:48,695 --> 00:37:50,094
of looking at my cattle all day.
803
00:37:52,198 --> 00:37:53,931
Mr. President...
804
00:37:53,966 --> 00:37:55,999
it's a deal.
805
00:37:57,503 --> 00:37:59,470
Thank you, Mr. President.
806
00:37:59,505 --> 00:38:01,939
Target is acquired, sir.
807
00:38:01,974 --> 00:38:04,007
We have good strike. Target neutralized.
808
00:38:09,248 --> 00:38:11,115
All right.
809
00:38:11,150 --> 00:38:12,685
Just sign here, please.
810
00:38:23,161 --> 00:38:24,160
Aaron.
811
00:38:28,099 --> 00:38:30,133
So, what's next?
812
00:38:30,168 --> 00:38:31,868
I haven't gotten that far yet,
813
00:38:31,903 --> 00:38:33,470
but... I'll let you know.
814
00:38:39,010 --> 00:38:41,043
Well, I'll try and do the
job as well as you did.
815
00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:42,411
No.
816
00:38:42,446 --> 00:38:43,980
Do better.
817
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,132
We have so many questions
left unanswered.
818
00:39:04,134 --> 00:39:07,002
Obviously, we still don't know
who we can trust in the government.
819
00:39:07,037 --> 00:39:08,403
I know.
820
00:39:08,438 --> 00:39:10,558
I keep on thinking about
the Designated Survivor call.
821
00:39:10,573 --> 00:39:12,589
And if Langdon didn't
make it, then who did?
822
00:39:12,592 --> 00:39:14,658
I'm relying on you to find out.
823
00:39:14,661 --> 00:39:16,543
I need to focus on governing.
824
00:39:16,578 --> 00:39:20,181
I need to lead this country
back from this terrible tragedy.
825
00:39:20,216 --> 00:39:21,715
Are you still up for this?
826
00:39:22,785 --> 00:39:25,252
Mr. President, I haven't
even gotten started yet.
827
00:39:25,288 --> 00:39:26,787
Good.
828
00:39:26,823 --> 00:39:29,290
This is a Presidential Finding
829
00:39:29,325 --> 00:39:32,292
absolving you from all FBI supervision.
830
00:39:32,328 --> 00:39:34,461
Until further notice, you'll
be reporting to me.
831
00:39:34,496 --> 00:39:36,592
Agent Ritter will be your liaison.
832
00:39:36,595 --> 00:39:37,727
And Agent Foerstel?
833
00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:39,199
He'll be at your disposal.
834
00:39:39,234 --> 00:39:40,794
You'll be provided with a secure office
835
00:39:40,803 --> 00:39:42,369
with secure communications.
836
00:39:42,404 --> 00:39:44,438
Nobody will know what
you're doing. Understood?
837
00:39:44,473 --> 00:39:46,539
Yes, sir.
838
00:39:46,574 --> 00:39:49,442
Agent Wells, I hereby authorize you
839
00:39:49,477 --> 00:39:51,444
to use whatever means necessary,
840
00:39:51,479 --> 00:39:54,113
within the Constitution of
the United States of America,
841
00:39:54,149 --> 00:39:56,723
to find the people
involved in this conspiracy
842
00:39:56,762 --> 00:39:58,429
and bring them to justice.
843
00:40:01,456 --> 00:40:03,589
I will not let you down, Mr. President.
