Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,043 --> 00:00:03,205
Previously on
Designated Survivor...
2
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:04,873
The DC power grid, the space station,
3
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,793
the president's therapy tapes,
it's all the same hacker, Gamine.
4
00:00:07,925 --> 00:00:11,134
Gamine had to be someone who knew
the president was seeing Dr. Louden,
5
00:00:11,261 --> 00:00:12,718
meaning someone in this building.
6
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,486
To hell with whoever leaked the shrink tapes.
You're the president.
7
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,428
The cabinet voted to have me removed?
8
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:19,016
They're invoking the 25th Amendment.
9
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:21,056
Mr. President. Ethan West.
10
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:24,522
This idea here, sir, is to give you
an opportunity to explain yourself.
11
00:00:24,650 --> 00:00:27,233
The White House produces witnesses
and documents.
12
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:28,693
And you answer my questions.
13
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:31,153
I did tell Dr. Louden that we were friends.
14
00:00:31,281 --> 00:00:33,161
I'm cross-referencing the roll
with the 34 folks
15
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,360
who visited the Oval
and could have known about Louden.
16
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:37,823
Andrea Frost is the only name on both lists.
17
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:39,321
Andrea Frost?
18
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,156
Hannah!
19
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:44,910
Agent down. I need an ambulance!
20
00:00:49,091 --> 00:00:51,879
Dr. Louden, Aaron, Emily, you.
21
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:54,798
- West is only calling four witnesses.
- That he's apprised us of.
22
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:57,547
Depending on how his case is going,
there may be a few surprises.
23
00:00:57,683 --> 00:01:00,517
He's not obligated to follow
typical notification procedures?
24
00:01:00,644 --> 00:01:04,228
He's not, sir. The 25th Amendment proceeding
is not a typical hearing.
25
00:01:04,356 --> 00:01:07,064
One day of prep? No, it's not.
26
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:10,856
Sir, the procedures here are simple.
The cabinet has already voted to remove you.
27
00:01:10,988 --> 00:01:13,605
They've tabled that vote
in favour of this hearing.
28
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,824
- But the burden of proof is yours.
- I'm at a disadvantage.
29
00:01:16,952 --> 00:01:19,615
Yes, sir. West will inquire into anything
since your swearing-in
30
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:23,106
that touches your fitness to hold office.
We have no idea what his questions will be.
31
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:26,042
So I'm gonna have to just sit here
and watch him tear my life apart.
32
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:29,537
No, sir. You're going to sit there
and watch us win.
33
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:38,554
- Hannah, you didn't answer my calls.
- I was at the hospital.
34
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:41,220
Ten hours ago.
You can't see the president like this.
35
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:43,889
He needs to know that Andrea Frost
is the hacker and a murderer.
36
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:47,435
- We need incontrovertible evidence.
- The hell we do.
37
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:50,775
You can't waltz into the Oval
with blood on your shirt
38
00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:52,902
and convince the president
that his close friend...
39
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:55,901
- I don't care who she is.
- Hannah, I'm on your side.
40
00:01:56,033 --> 00:01:58,525
But you'll have one shot
at persuading the president.
41
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:02,745
Go home. Get cleaned up.
Gather your thoughts. Work the case.
42
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:04,739
I have been working this, for months!
43
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:07,583
Hannah, I'm sorry about Damian.
44
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:10,124
I am. But this has to be bulletproof.
45
00:02:10,255 --> 00:02:12,588
You want a smoking gun?
We may never get that.
46
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:16,005
- Meanwhile, she's still out there.
- I'm not asking you.
47
00:02:27,898 --> 00:02:31,482
- The press wants to know about the budget.
- In process.
48
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:33,379
Deadline's tonight
or it's a government shutdown.
49
00:02:33,403 --> 00:02:34,589
We go through this every year.
50
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:36,229
- We're close to a deal.
- How close?
51
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:40,154
Very close. The Senate leadership agreed
to fund the Medicaid cost of living increases.
52
00:02:40,285 --> 00:02:42,868
Great. An $8 billion win for us.
What do they want in return?
53
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,363
Minor compromises.
They'll come in and button it up.
54
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:47,143
We'll get the bill
to the president tonight.
55
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,375
We should get that to him sooner.
56
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:52,023
- The White House is reeling...
- I'll get him in here.
57
00:02:52,047 --> 00:02:54,255
...from the release
of the president's therapy notes.
58
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:56,090
Kirkman's therapist, Dr. Adam Louden,
59
00:02:56,218 --> 00:02:59,336
paints a troubling portrait
of a presidency in turmoil.
60
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:02,839
I think that's everything.
It's time, Mr. President.
61
00:03:02,974 --> 00:03:04,806
- I need a moment.
- Yes, sir.
62
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:36,334
That's not what I said.
63
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:40,839
- Aren't those your words on the tape?
- Yes, but...
64
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:43,429
You didn't say
the president was suffering from PTSD?
65
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:44,968
You're taking it out of context.
66
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,740
You didn't say that
the president was anxious and depressed?
67
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:54,565
The leak of my tapes has been
professionally devastating for me.
68
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:59,609
I won't let you compound that humiliation
by mischaracterizing my conclusions.
69
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:02,949
If you won't let me answer,
I don't need to be here.
70
00:04:03,827 --> 00:04:04,827
The floor is yours.
71
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:08,287
I never said, at any time,
72
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:12,250
that Tom Kirkman was unfit to be president
of the United States.
73
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:15,211
But your notes say
he doubts he can do the job.
74
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:21,254
Self-doubt is common
when we lose a loved one.
75
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:24,970
Do his symptoms disqualify him
from the presidency?
76
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,259
I have no expertise
77
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:29,429
as to the necessary qualifications
of the Oval Office.
78
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:33,931
Dr. Louden, has the president improved
since you started treating him?
79
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:36,682
- Absolutely.
- PTSD, anxiety, depression,
80
00:04:36,818 --> 00:04:38,309
all normal responses to a tragedy.
81
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,311
Have they diminished
in the intervening months?
82
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:42,814
Yes. The diagnoses on my tapes
were provisional.
83
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:46,033
Is the president currently in sound
mental and emotional health?
84
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:49,119
- He is.
- Thank you.
85
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:51,205
You say he's improved.
86
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:55,873
- But he has good and bad days, right?
- Yes. Like us all.
87
00:05:00,342 --> 00:05:02,299
Mr. Shore, do you have an opinion
88
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:05,170
as to the president's conduct
of the war against Kunami?
89
00:05:05,931 --> 00:05:10,676
- I'm not sure what you're asking.
- How did he do, Mr. Shore?
90
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:13,224
He brought to justice a leader
of a regime
91
00:05:13,355 --> 00:05:16,939
that set off a dirty bomb on American soil
and was about to gas its dissidents.
92
00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:21,311
But we didn't find out about the gas
until after we declared war.
93
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:25,074
Yes.
94
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,035
And the emir wasn't behind the dirty bomb,
was he?
95
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:31,032
Not directly, no.
96
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:35,958
So we need to talk about how the president
decided to plunge this country into war.
97
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:44,050
Secretary Krantz is consulting with NATO
to build a consensus for military options.
98
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:45,822
We don't need a consensus.
We were attacked.
99
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,338
Yes, sir, but moving without advising
our allies...
100
00:05:48,473 --> 00:05:51,181
Why get bogged down
in diplomatic discussion?
101
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,309
There's a protocol here.
102
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:56,179
We were attacked!
The protocol is strike back!
103
00:05:57,941 --> 00:05:58,941
He discarded advice,
104
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:01,397
didn't confer with his allies
and started a war.
105
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:05,442
- It's his constitutional prerogative.
- To not verify facts? Put lives at risk?
106
00:06:05,574 --> 00:06:07,190
That's his prerogative?
107
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:13,325
- Yes.
- That's just irrational, right?
108
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:20,496
We won the war. Removed a tyrant.
If that's irrational, then sign me up.
109
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:22,587
Mr. Shore, is war ever rational?
110
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:26,300
A conscious decision to kill other human beings
may be necessary,
111
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:28,385
but I wouldn't call it rational.
112
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:32,723
George Washington, Woodrow Wilson, FDR.
All took us into war.
113
00:06:32,851 --> 00:06:35,264
By that definition,
they were all irrational, correct?
114
00:06:36,688 --> 00:06:37,688
Correct.
115
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:40,269
I think President Kirkman's in good company.
116
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:45,982
Let's take a recess.
117
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:57,476
Here's the bank camera's
shot of the assassin's car.
118
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,061
You can't really make out the license plate.
119
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,730
You can make out
the first two numbers.
120
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:03,792
They trace back to a silver sedan
registered to Apache Aerospace,
121
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:05,131
Andrea Frost's company.
122
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:09,423
Yes, and those two digits also come back
to 814 other plates in the district.
123
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:11,045
How many of them are silver sedans?
124
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:13,013
- You're not...
- How many?
125
00:07:18,688 --> 00:07:20,600
Two hundred and twelve.
126
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:22,689
We also found more writings.
127
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:26,106
Recent anti-government postings
we can trace back to Gamine.
128
00:07:26,237 --> 00:07:27,853
We know Gamine is Andrea Frost.
129
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:31,198
We're getting there, okay?
But it's still not enough.
130
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:32,612
It is for me.
131
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:37,204
Chuck, she's not just a saboteur.
She's a killer.
132
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:39,699
The plumber who broke into NASA. Damian.
They're both dead.
133
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:42,451
We keep looking for evidence
that we already have.
134
00:07:45,507 --> 00:07:46,964
I'm sorry.
135
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:48,966
About Damian.
136
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:52,841
I don't know what to say.
137
00:07:52,973 --> 00:07:56,057
Aaron, I'm ready. With or without you.
138
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:02,221
These are postings
from the dark web message boards
139
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:05,270
- over several years by user Gamine.
- Gamine.
140
00:08:05,402 --> 00:08:06,893
The postings are anti-government
141
00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,520
- and anti-establishment.
- Okay.
142
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:13,024
Gamine is obsessed
with a British mathematician, Alan Turing,
143
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,573
as you can see from the codes
I've highlighted from the hacks.
144
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:19,948
These all have a Turing signature.
Here's the clincher.
145
00:08:20,083 --> 00:08:22,746
Gamine, who we know is responsible
for the posts and the hacks,
146
00:08:22,877 --> 00:08:24,960
and we believe several murders,
147
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:29,708
bought a Turing notebook from an auction
and had it sent to a private club in DC.
148
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:34,636
The only member of the club who also
visited the White House is Andrea Frost.
149
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:41,223
Agent Wells, you have been
a tremendous asset to your country
150
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:43,846
and to this administration.
151
00:08:43,982 --> 00:08:46,474
But I'm deeply troubled
by what you've just told me,
152
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:48,225
and for a number of reasons.
153
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:52,275
I'll start with the biggest one first.
You do know who Andrea Frost is?
154
00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:54,607
Unfortunately, sir, I do.
155
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:58,737
She's not just a friend.
She's a widely respected industrialist.
156
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:01,267
Someone who helped us save astronauts
from the space station,
157
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:04,211
- helped us find the dirty bomb.
- All so she could get close to you, sir.
158
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:07,082
I'm sorry,
I might be missing something here.
159
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:11,423
Your claim that Andrea Frost
is responsible for the hackings and murder
160
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:15,090
is solely based on your assertion
that she uses the Internet handle Gamine,
161
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,009
and is a fan of Alan Turing,
which by the way, so am I.
162
00:09:18,141 --> 00:09:21,760
Mr. President, I know
that all of this sounds very far-fetched,
163
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:26,731
but this conclusion is a product
of months and months of painstaking work.
164
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:30,018
Have I ever led you astray before?
165
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:36,941
- Thank you, Agent Wells. That'll be all.
- Sir.
166
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,812
Aaron, you were briefed on this
from the beginning. What the hell?
167
00:09:46,836 --> 00:09:48,452
Sir, Hannah Wells is our best agent.
168
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,750
I'm not disputing that.
But she didn't prove anything.
169
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:54,000
In fact, from where I sit,
the only thing she managed to do
170
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:56,798
was smear the name of one of
our country's greatest entrepreneurs.
171
00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:01,762
I grant you her case is not ironclad.
But if you connect all the dots...
172
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:06,513
And leap to every possible conclusion.
You may - may - have found the hacker.
173
00:10:09,359 --> 00:10:13,148
Hannah Wells took down Patrick Lloyd,
figured out who was behind the dirty bomb.
174
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:14,815
If she says there's something here,
175
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:17,361
I'm inclined at least to give her
the benefit of the doubt.
176
00:10:17,492 --> 00:10:21,156
If you expect me to believe any of this,
she needs to come back with more.
177
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:22,619
A lot more.
178
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:38,172
Can you find me Dax Minter, please?
179
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:41,513
Obviously, the therapist tapes concern me.
180
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:44,634
Notjust as an ex-president,
but as an American.
181
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:47,603
And for the country's sake,
I hope the president
182
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:50,473
- continues to seek help...
- President Moss. Stand-up guy.
183
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:53,021
- ...on his road to recovery.
- Uh, if you say so.
184
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:55,896
Hey, I know you, you're Trey Kirkman,
the president's brother.
185
00:10:57,115 --> 00:10:58,231
Ethan West.
186
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:00,608
- I know who you are.
- Really?
187
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:03,406
'Cause, uh... I mean, you'd read
the law journals, I'd get it.
188
00:11:03,538 --> 00:11:06,246
But you're not a lawyer,
so that'd be just like a weird hobby.
189
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:11,244
- Not as weird as a political witch hunt.
- Excuse me?
190
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:15,081
If you knew what my brother's been through,
type of man he is,
191
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:18,254
you wouldn't be trying to bring him down.
You'd be giving him a medal.
192
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,804
Excuse me. I have the documents
you wanted, Mr. West.
193
00:11:22,932 --> 00:11:24,844
Great. Good. Thanks.
194
00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:26,842
Nice meeting you.
195
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:31,932
That's the president's brother.
He's a stand-up guy.
196
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:35,150
This isn't what we agreed to, senator.
We had a deal.
197
00:11:35,278 --> 00:11:36,940
We're honoring it by funding
198
00:11:37,071 --> 00:11:39,814
the medical research you advocate.
$6 billion.
199
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:41,869
Which you're offsetting by eliminating
$6 billion
200
00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:43,908
in cost of living increases to Medicaid.
201
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,348
Meaning, if we were to ever discover
new life-saving medication,
202
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:48,079
most Americans couldn't afford it.
203
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:51,167
We can't squeeze blood from a stone.
We gotta give somewhere.
204
00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:54,833
How about the billions of dollars of pork
you put into the budget?
205
00:11:54,964 --> 00:11:58,799
If you're referring to the compromises
that have gotten...
206
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:02,887
There's nothing reasonable
about our failure to care for our sick.
207
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:05,882
- I'm not signing.
- Your veto would shut down the government.
208
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:10,227
You want to avoid a government shutdown?
Honor the deal or there's the door.
209
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:13,889
Sir.
210
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:22,898
Sir, now may not be the time for hardball.
211
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:26,118
She's right.
We have till midnight to sort this out.
212
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:28,579
Fund the budget, then we tackle research.
213
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:30,868
I'm not gonna be forced
into making a choice
214
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,459
between medical innovation
and access to medical care.
215
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,374
That will not be my legacy.
216
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:42,464
Nope. It'll be hitting
the self-destruct button
217
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:44,962
right before getting dragged out of office.
218
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:57,729
Dax, thank you so much for coming.
It's great to see you, man.
219
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:00,603
Always, Tom. But I'm assuming
the suddenness of my summons
220
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:02,138
means this isn't strictly personal.
221
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,233
I wish it was,
but I'm afraid you're right. Please.
222
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:07,906
How well do you know Dr. Andrea Frost?
223
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:12,247
Pretty well. A woman like that
in the tech sphere,
224
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,367
she's a unicorn.
Makes an impression.
225
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:20,923
I asked you here because I think
you're an excellent judge of character.
226
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:23,463
And I need you to judge hers for me.
227
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:27,554
Do you think she's capable of sabotage?
228
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,350
Sabotage?
229
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:33,685
Hacking into governmental
and technological hubs.
230
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:37,564
If you're asking me could she do it, yeah.
231
00:13:37,692 --> 00:13:41,060
She's brilliant.
If you're asking me would she...
232
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:44,230
I'm afraid that's what I'm asking.
233
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:51,320
You don't get to be
the first female tech billionaire
234
00:13:51,456 --> 00:13:53,118
without a ruthless streak.
235
00:13:54,917 --> 00:13:55,917
Yeah.
236
00:13:56,878 --> 00:13:59,245
But cyberterrorism?
237
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:02,123
It just doesn't seem to fit
the profile of the person I know.
238
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,544
I agree.
239
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:07,761
But how well do we really know anyone?
240
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:10,599
Hmm.
241
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:13,641
Tom, can I ask if this related
to the hacking...
242
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:16,387
Dax, I'm afraid
I can't say anything about this.
243
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:21,938
So...
244
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:25,862
How you doing with everything?
245
00:14:27,992 --> 00:14:30,609
Oh, besides the fact that
half the country thinks I'm crazy?
246
00:14:34,832 --> 00:14:38,746
It's been a hard year, but I'm getting by.
247
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:43,043
If you need a breather, I have a bottle
of 1823 Louis XIII with your name on it.
248
00:14:43,174 --> 00:14:45,507
When I find the time,
I'd love to share it with you.
249
00:14:45,635 --> 00:14:49,925
Until then, I've got a pretty cool reminder
of you right here in my office.
250
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:53,925
They're rolling off the assembly lines
as we speak.
251
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:58,186
Come by. Take a real one for a spin.
252
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:02,354
Oh, if I'm still sitting in that chair
in three weeks, I'll make it a priority.
253
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:05,478
You will be. I promise.
254
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:07,070
Thanks.
255
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:10,737
Yeah, I'd like to call my next witness.
Please, Dr. Frost.
256
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:15,529
She's a private citizen.
257
00:15:15,665 --> 00:15:18,749
She has knowledge of
the president's fitness as per the tapes.
258
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,166
I'm sorry.
259
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:39,557
Dr. Frost...
260
00:15:41,649 --> 00:15:43,561
are you and the president close friends?
261
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:45,184
We're friends, yes.
262
00:15:45,319 --> 00:15:48,027
Does he ever discuss his job with you?
263
00:15:51,409 --> 00:15:54,618
Honestly, I don't know
if I can do this anymore.
264
00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:02,410
Yes.
265
00:16:02,545 --> 00:16:05,425
So the president confessed doubts to you
about his ability to do the job.
266
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:10,334
Dr. Frost?
267
00:16:13,556 --> 00:16:14,556
Yes.
268
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:22,263
The conversation you had with Dr. Frost,
who was in the room with the two of you?
269
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:23,889
No one.
270
00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:27,735
- Which means she's cooperating with West.
- No, she was subpoenaed.
271
00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:30,445
To testify. Why would she volunteer
272
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:33,566
details of a private conversation
that incriminates you?
273
00:16:34,452 --> 00:16:38,036
Hannah Wells gave me a dossier on Dr. Frost.
I would like to use it to question her.
274
00:16:38,164 --> 00:16:41,077
- You wanna suggest that she's the hacker.
- Yes, sir.
275
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:44,043
No, I won't allow it. Understood?
276
00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:46,379
Yes, sir.
277
00:16:54,597 --> 00:16:57,431
Hannah, we need to talk.
278
00:16:58,309 --> 00:17:01,052
There was no one else in the Oval,
besides Frost and the president.
279
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:05,477
The president sure as hell wasn't cooperating
with West, so Frost is undermining him.
280
00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:07,895
But the president was clear:
we can't question her.
281
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:09,689
So Frost gets away with it.
282
00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:12,733
Unless you can find an ironclad way
to incriminate her.
283
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:22,577
Mr. West, I'm Hannah Wells. FBI.
You got a second?
284
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:25,374
I got half a second.
285
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:31,128
I'm investigating possible
criminal conduct by Dr. Andrea Frost.
286
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:33,216
That's not my concern.
287
00:17:33,344 --> 00:17:36,257
It is if you were conspiring with her
to undermine the presidency.
288
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:37,425
Uh, excuse me?
289
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:40,891
I understand that Dr. Frost testified
to the contents of a private conversation
290
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:43,977
her and the president had in the Oval,
which she related to you.
291
00:17:44,105 --> 00:17:46,208
Is there nobody who doesn't know
about this hearing?
292
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:48,474
My point is, if we make a case
against Dr. Frost
293
00:17:48,609 --> 00:17:50,521
and you aided her attack on the White House,
294
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:52,360
that makes you
an accessory after the fact.
295
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:55,572
Let me save you some time,
Agent Hannah Wells.
296
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,532
The conversation you allude to
297
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:59,993
was brought to my attention
through this anonymous letter.
298
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:02,113
I did not co-conspire.
I did nothing wrong.
299
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:04,911
- I just merely received a tip.
- A tip.
300
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:07,250
You know what a tip is, don't you?
301
00:18:07,378 --> 00:18:10,337
It's the part of the iceberg
this White House is about to slam into.
302
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:16,881
- The president will never sign this.
- He will because time's up for your boss.
303
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:18,129
I'm sorry?
304
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:21,632
This president is under duress.
We are not.
305
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:24,726
We have to be able to look our constituents
in the eye tomorrow
306
00:18:24,854 --> 00:18:29,098
and explain why we made concessions
with someone who is no longer a viable partner.
307
00:18:30,067 --> 00:18:31,854
What do you mean "no longer viable"?
308
00:18:31,986 --> 00:18:35,024
This is the deal, Emily. The final deal.
309
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:38,615
I think this president understands
the concept of finality.
310
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,399
We'll be waiting for his answer.
311
00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:50,953
- They know about the hearing.
- Yep.
312
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:53,876
Any leverage the White House had
just went up in smoke.
313
00:18:56,427 --> 00:19:00,171
If you just inverse those,
let's see what the numbers look like.
314
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:01,763
Then you need to take...
315
00:19:01,891 --> 00:19:04,508
- So what's next?
- Excuse me?
316
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:07,102
NASA. The power grid.
The president's therapy tapes.
317
00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:08,909
- What's your next target?
- Do I know you?
318
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,597
I'm Hannah Wells. FBI.
319
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:12,895
I have no idea
what you're talking about, Agent Wells.
320
00:19:13,027 --> 00:19:16,441
- But I'm a close friend of President Kirkman's.
- A close friend?
321
00:19:16,572 --> 00:19:18,859
You're trying to undermine
his entire administration.
322
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,653
- Is that what friends do?
- What?
323
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:23,653
You're not just a saboteur, Dr. Frost,
you are a murderer.
324
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:25,228
And your henchman got the wrong guy.
325
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:27,689
- You have no idea who you're talking to.
- I know exactly...
326
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:29,249
So let me enlighten you.
327
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,915
I'm someone who keeps her promises.
328
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,913
And if you ever slander me in public again,
329
00:19:35,049 --> 00:19:39,589
I promise you this will be your last act
working for the government or anyone else.
330
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,557
Obviously, the White House
is aware of the budget deadline
331
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:56,811
and we're working diligently with the leadership
to resolve our differences.
332
00:19:56,946 --> 00:19:58,938
So then you're confident
of avoiding a shutdown?
333
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:01,406
Very confident. Gary Lee.
334
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:05,235
I'm very confident the world
is gonna come crashing down around us.
335
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:08,489
- Maybe don't say that.
- You know what Nixon did on his last day?
336
00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:12,618
He didn't shut the government down.
He got a haircut. He thanked his staff.
337
00:20:12,753 --> 00:20:14,244
Nixon's goose was already cooked.
338
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,380
And our guy's getting plucked
in front of our eyes,
339
00:20:16,507 --> 00:20:18,499
and yet here we are.
The hunky-dory brigade.
340
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:21,843
And we carry on until we're carried out.
That's what we do.
341
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:24,179
Yes, Em, I get that and I'm down.
342
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:27,265
But it's like Custer's Last Stand
around here.
343
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:30,977
For all of us. Look, I have to testify
and I can't take the Fifth.
344
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:34,084
If I'm asked about telling Chuck to break
the law to protect the president...
345
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:35,815
What are you going to do?
346
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:39,900
Face the music.
That's the order of business today.
347
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:42,147
Till the band stops playing.
348
00:20:42,992 --> 00:20:45,780
Ms. Rhodes,
are you loyal to the president?
349
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:50,326
- Of course.
- And you follow his directives?
350
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:54,744
- I'm his Chief of Staff. I carry them out.
- Let's talk about how you do that.
351
00:20:56,797 --> 00:20:59,255
The president deserves
a modicum of loyalty.
352
00:20:59,383 --> 00:21:01,466
- You laundered evidence.
- It's not that simple.
353
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:04,257
Leaking to make a case against a leaker.
You don't see the irony?
354
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,675
You're missing the big picture here, Kendra.
355
00:21:06,807 --> 00:21:10,517
Our guy is out there bleeding
and he needs our help.
356
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,057
If we get hemmed in
by procedural niceties...
357
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:15,021
Hemmed in? Procedural niceties?
358
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:19,355
I don't think I'm the one
missing the big picture here.
359
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:23,525
The president is obsessed with loyalty.
360
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:27,070
He's not obsessed.
361
00:21:27,203 --> 00:21:28,694
Preoccupied?
362
00:21:29,789 --> 00:21:33,157
The president is a very loyal man.
He expects it in return.
363
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,604
- And you follow his directives, right?
- Yes, I said that.
364
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:38,668
If you're preoccupied with loyalty
and you listen to what the president says,
365
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:42,041
then the preoccupation must be his.
Am I right?
366
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:45,470
Ms. Rhodes?
367
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:49,552
You know
what White House employees can't do?
368
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:53,427
Accost private citizens in public places
and defame them.
369
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:55,975
You're not getting any of this, are you?
370
00:21:56,982 --> 00:22:00,817
Hannah, I vouched for you to the president.
I put my neck on the line.
371
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:02,607
What the hell were you thinking?
372
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,318
They're all dead, Aaron.
373
00:22:07,952 --> 00:22:08,952
Who?
374
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:13,952
Scott Wheeler. Jason Atwood.
John Foerstel. Damian Rennett.
375
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:16,370
Everyone who gets close to me dies.
376
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:21,256
Yeah.
377
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:24,300
I'm sorry.
378
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:30,005
I'm not gonna let Andrea Frost
get away with this. I won't let her.
379
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:31,972
I'm pulling you
from the hack investigation.
380
00:22:32,101 --> 00:22:34,935
Hannah, I have to. You've done enough.
381
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:54,746
- Hey.
- Hey, what did he say?
382
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:58,788
Uh, it's touch and go.
Kendra's great, but so is West.
383
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:01,915
Yeah, I don't think I helped the cause.
384
00:23:02,506 --> 00:23:04,372
I don't think I did either.
385
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:08,335
Is that the, um, type 2 diabetes diet?
386
00:23:10,556 --> 00:23:15,972
If everything goes south, I figured
we'll have minutes to leave this building.
387
00:23:16,103 --> 00:23:19,642
And I wanted a souvenir
that wouldn't amount to grand theft.
388
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:22,144
A sugar shaker?
389
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:26,982
- You remember Bernie from the cafeteria?
- Mm-hmm.
390
00:23:27,114 --> 00:23:28,446
He put it behind the register.
391
00:23:28,574 --> 00:23:31,317
He said I was over-sweetening my cortados.
392
00:23:31,452 --> 00:23:33,944
- Sweet revenge.
- Yeah.
393
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:38,244
I'm, uh, taking the scorpion paperweight
the governor of Guam left us.
394
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:40,992
- Oh, sting of the tail.
- Mm-hmm.
395
00:23:44,673 --> 00:23:47,131
Do you ever...
do you ever think about us?
396
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:52,180
How do you mean?
397
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:56,721
Well, we had that kiss last year. Once.
398
00:23:56,852 --> 00:23:59,515
And it wasn't bad as far as kisses go.
399
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:03,310
Definitely serviceable.
400
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:10,234
You ever wonder what would've happened
if there were a sequel?
401
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:15,614
I... I did.
402
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:19,532
But I decided long ago
not to pursue it.
403
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:21,829
Why?
404
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:26,546
Because then you wouldn't be here.
In my office. A year later.
405
00:24:26,674 --> 00:24:29,074
Exchanging stories about
how we're the two lowest-rent crooks
406
00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:30,633
in the history of the White House.
407
00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:37,474
Well, Mr. West, what can I do for you?
408
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:40,677
It's more a matter of
what can you do for your country.
409
00:24:41,647 --> 00:24:44,731
The cabinet is trying
to remove President Kirkman, sir.
410
00:24:48,696 --> 00:24:51,439
That's a somber occasion.
411
00:24:53,075 --> 00:24:54,987
I take it they have retained you.
412
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,863
I am the humble servant charged with
bringing the relevant facts to light.
413
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:03,079
I understand you may have some,
Mr. President.
414
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:06,123
Yes. Yes, I do.
415
00:25:07,673 --> 00:25:09,915
Would you be willing
to share those with the cabinet?
416
00:25:13,095 --> 00:25:15,462
It's as you say, Mr. West.
417
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,385
It's about what I can do for my country.
418
00:25:20,644 --> 00:25:23,887
How far do your concerns about
the president's mental health go back?
419
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:27,516
Months. At least
since the death of his wife.
420
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:29,859
What was the basis of this concern?
421
00:25:29,987 --> 00:25:34,698
I personally observed President Kirkman's
growing and dangerous paranoia.
422
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:37,158
The second I named you my Secretary of State,
423
00:25:37,286 --> 00:25:39,869
you've been quietly trying
to undermine me. You're disloyal.
424
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:46,083
As a member of the president's cabinet,
did you notice some mental deterioration?
425
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:48,544
Since the day of his wife's death, absolutely.
426
00:25:48,672 --> 00:25:50,912
- Did you take these considerations to him?
- Repeatedly.
427
00:25:51,925 --> 00:25:53,461
He was defensive.
428
00:25:53,594 --> 00:25:55,335
Accused me of not supporting him.
429
00:25:55,471 --> 00:25:58,071
What did you notice about
his decision-making after his wife died?
430
00:25:58,140 --> 00:26:00,507
Erratic. At times dangerously impetuous,
431
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:03,100
at times crippled by indecision.
432
00:26:04,146 --> 00:26:07,685
You fold in the paranoia,
you've got a toxic combination.
433
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,981
In your expert opinion, is Tom Kirkman
fit to continue as president?
434
00:26:17,034 --> 00:26:18,241
No.
435
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,451
No, he is not.
436
00:26:25,501 --> 00:26:30,337
Secretary Moss, did you leave
the Kirkman Administration on good terms?
437
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:33,002
- No.
- What happened?
438
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:38,803
I became weary of President Kirkman's
accusations that I was undermining him,
439
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:42,095
and tired of his failure
to follow my counsel, so I resigned.
440
00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:43,683
In fact, you were fired.
441
00:26:45,395 --> 00:26:46,761
I was not.
442
00:26:46,897 --> 00:26:50,186
- Oh, come on, Mr. Secretary.
- It's Mr. President, Ms. Daynes.
443
00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:54,273
I know what you're implying.
That I'm here on a vendetta.
444
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:56,487
Except I was not fired.
445
00:26:57,199 --> 00:27:00,237
In fact, President Kirkman
held a press conference
446
00:27:00,369 --> 00:27:04,113
in which he acknowledged
reluctantly accepting my resignation.
447
00:27:05,499 --> 00:27:08,287
Surely you're not suggesting
President Kirkman is a liar?
448
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:14,919
- How much damage did Moss do?
- He hurt us, sir.
449
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:17,463
- It was brilliant.
- Excuse me?
450
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:20,086
Moss leaked classified intel.
Now he's testifying against you.
451
00:27:20,222 --> 00:27:22,214
He helps oust you,
his legal problems are over.
452
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:27,931
Right. If I somehow
manage to survive this,
453
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:32,436
my administration's prosecution of him
would look like political retribution.
454
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:35,356
Yes, sir. Moss is the reason
your cabinet turned against you.
455
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:38,571
They're all his people.
I appointed them at his recommendation.
456
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,344
They're loyal to him. I'm betting
he orchestrated a whisper campaign.
457
00:27:41,368 --> 00:27:44,048
- Primed his people for the 25th.
- I can't worry about what he did.
458
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:47,247
I need to worry about what we're going to do.
Kendra, where do we stand?
459
00:27:47,374 --> 00:27:48,414
We're doing our best, sir,
460
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:51,876
but we need to change hearts and minds
and I'm not sure we're doing that.
461
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,667
I just heard from leadership.
More rollbacks.
462
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:00,088
Everything we've worked for
463
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:02,212
in the last six months,
they're throwing out.
464
00:28:02,347 --> 00:28:05,761
Mr. President, it's gonna get worse by the hour.
You need to make a deal.
465
00:28:05,893 --> 00:28:07,579
This isn't a deal. They're strong-arming us.
466
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:09,455
If your last act is
shutting down the government,
467
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:11,079
it won't seem like an act of conscience.
468
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:13,273
- It'll seem like spite.
- Or proof of insanity.
469
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:18,436
Son of a bitch.
470
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:24,777
Fine. Emily, get the congressional Senate
and leadership back up here.
471
00:28:24,912 --> 00:28:27,279
- We need to button this up.
- Yes, sir.
472
00:28:28,332 --> 00:28:31,370
Kendra Daynes. Okay.
473
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:35,457
Ethan West wants a sit-down.
474
00:28:38,842 --> 00:28:40,879
- A compromise?
- Yes, sir.
475
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:45,381
You step down voluntarily
and return to your post as HUD secretary.
476
00:28:45,515 --> 00:28:48,553
- What's his stated reason for leaving?
- Pick one.
477
00:28:48,685 --> 00:28:51,706
He's not a politician, doesn't like the
aesthetic. No one's gonna bat an eye.
478
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:53,610
You've a well-deserved reputation for hardball.
479
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,598
Why are you suddenly coming to the table?
480
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:59,853
Because it's a win-win situation.
Do you need a better reason than that?
481
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:01,216
You're hedging your bets.
482
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Even though the deck's stacked against me,
483
00:29:02,824 --> 00:29:04,861
you're worried I might pull out
an inside straight.
484
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:07,155
Whatever my reason, it's a gift horse.
485
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:09,620
Don't look at it in the mouth.
486
00:29:10,624 --> 00:29:14,243
I'm sorry, Mr. West, but if the cabinet
wants me out of this building,
487
00:29:14,378 --> 00:29:16,415
they're gonna have to do it the hard way.
488
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:20,965
Okay, sir, but when you look back on this,
489
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:22,925
remember I tried to give you a way out.
490
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:41,089
Mr. Kirkman, would you do anything
to protect your brother?
491
00:29:41,113 --> 00:29:42,900
I don't know what you mean by "anything."
492
00:29:43,031 --> 00:29:46,195
Did you confront me
at the White House mess earlier today?
493
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:51,029
It wasn't a confrontation.
It was a conversation.
494
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:54,828
A pretty threatening conversation.
495
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,953
I wonder, uh,
did your brother put you up to it?
496
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,881
My brother didn't put me up to anything.
497
00:30:02,009 --> 00:30:05,002
So you confronted me of your own volition?
498
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:06,137
Yep.
499
00:30:06,179 --> 00:30:10,173
Considering the role I play in your brother's
fate, uh, do you think it's rational?
500
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:12,679
I'll let you be the judge of that.
501
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:14,894
It's irrational, but not surprising,
502
00:30:15,022 --> 00:30:17,184
'cause your family
has a history of mental illness.
503
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:23,902
We have no such history.
504
00:30:24,781 --> 00:30:27,114
You were diagnosed with bipolar disorder
505
00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:29,905
and spent two weeks
in the hospital in 1998.
506
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:36,248
I was under observation.
507
00:30:37,044 --> 00:30:39,582
I was going through a break-up
with a long-term girlfriend.
508
00:30:41,923 --> 00:30:43,915
Are you still on your meds?
509
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:47,511
Yes.
510
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,889
When you're diagnosed, they keep you
on the medication as a precaution.
511
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:56,101
And your mother was hospitalized
with depression in 1975?
512
00:30:58,065 --> 00:31:00,853
She was briefly in a facility.
513
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:04,769
Mental illness runs in your family.
514
00:31:04,905 --> 00:31:07,773
No. Being human does.
515
00:31:09,326 --> 00:31:14,617
Mr. Kirkman, to your knowledge, has your brother
ever been treated for any mental illness?
516
00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:15,748
No.
517
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:17,747
Thank you.
518
00:31:31,056 --> 00:31:32,056
Trey.
519
00:31:33,016 --> 00:31:35,099
I'm sorry, Tom.
520
00:31:35,852 --> 00:31:36,852
For what?
521
00:31:37,771 --> 00:31:38,978
I hurt you in there.
522
00:31:39,981 --> 00:31:42,974
You think I'm upset
about what you said in there?
523
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:44,521
Why didn't you tell me?
524
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:47,562
I'm your brother.
525
00:31:48,782 --> 00:31:51,445
All those years,
everything you were going through.
526
00:31:52,327 --> 00:31:56,788
You were busy with your own life.
I'd spent mine being a burden. I didn't...
527
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:58,326
Trey, you are not a burden.
528
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:01,701
I know. I know that now.
I didn't know it then.
529
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:07,540
When this whole thing is over,
regardless of the outcome,
530
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:10,589
I want us to go somewhere.
Just the two of us brothers.
531
00:32:11,805 --> 00:32:13,091
And 40 Secret Service?
532
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:18,472
Believe it or not, they're pretty good
at keeping a low profile.
533
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:22,897
It's a deal, big brother.
I know just the place.
534
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,774
Fort Knox. I'll bring one suitcase.
535
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:28,862
I was hoping that we could go somewhere
that wasn't gonna land you in jail.
536
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:32,114
- You're gonna show me the UFOs?
- Okay.
537
00:32:32,242 --> 00:32:34,325
Tom, I won't tell anybody, I swear.
538
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:38,933
I thought I made our position clear.
539
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:42,450
You made yourself perfectly clear; you're
a couple of unprincipled shakedown artists.
540
00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:45,203
Emily, please remind the political director
who he's talking to.
541
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:48,234
Of course. Lyor, you're talking to
a couple of unprincipled shakedown artists.
542
00:32:48,258 --> 00:32:49,794
- Thank you.
- We're done here.
543
00:32:49,926 --> 00:32:52,613
You can tell the president
that when the government shuts down,
544
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,845
he has only himself to blame
for everything.
545
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:57,386
No need, Senator. I think I got the message.
546
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:03,577
- Mr. President, I...
- Don't worry. It's just politics.
547
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,793
You're pushing an advantage.
That's how the game works.
548
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:08,025
- Yes sir, it is.
- Problem is, I don't play the game
549
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:11,442
and I'm not about to start.
You both made a deal. I expect you to honor it.
550
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:13,860
Respectfully, sir, uh,
circumstances have changed.
551
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:17,360
Not for me.
But if this is, in fact, my last day,
552
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:20,580
I'm not gonna waste it
striking a compromise I don't believe in.
553
00:33:20,707 --> 00:33:22,539
- That's your choice.
- Yes, it is.
554
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:25,250
It was also my choice to leave
Vice President Darby a letter
555
00:33:25,378 --> 00:33:29,793
telling her the only budget to sign
was the one we'd previously negotiated.
556
00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:33,544
I expect her to comply with my wishes because,
well... she gave me her word,
557
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:36,216
- like I gave you mine.
- Uh, Mr. President...
558
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:39,228
So when the government shuts down,
you can explain to the American people
559
00:33:39,267 --> 00:33:43,511
that the only people whose word
doesn't seem to matter is yours.
560
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:46,765
Time for playing games, Senators, is over.
Do your job.
561
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:00,153
Mr. President, it's time.
562
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:07,995
Mr. President, you've listened
to all of today's testimony, right?
563
00:34:08,129 --> 00:34:09,415
Yes.
564
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:10,789
Was any of it untrue?
565
00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:20,140
No.
566
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:24,181
When Dr. Louden testified about your problems
after your wife's death, that was accurate?
567
00:34:25,605 --> 00:34:26,522
Yes.
568
00:34:26,523 --> 00:34:30,062
When Aaron Shore said you attacked Kunami
without heeding counsel to wait,
569
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:32,276
- was that not accurate?
- Yes.
570
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:35,568
When Emily Rhodes testified
you have a preoccupation with loyalty...
571
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:37,736
Yes, that was accurate as well.
572
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:44,622
Today, all of you have heard
what a deeply flawed man I am.
573
00:34:44,749 --> 00:34:46,331
Either because members of my family
574
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:48,746
have had to struggle through issues
with mental health
575
00:34:48,878 --> 00:34:51,586
or because I've mourned for
and missed my wife too much.
576
00:34:56,261 --> 00:35:00,096
Because I have expected loyalty
from people that I give it to.
577
00:35:00,223 --> 00:35:01,839
Or because I declared war on a country
578
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:06,265
that I still, to this very day, believe
had every intention of harming us.
579
00:35:09,274 --> 00:35:11,812
The truth is, I've made mistakes,
580
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:15,687
but not for any of the reasons
you've heard here today.
581
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:20,612
I made mine because I'm human.
582
00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:22,485
And it is human to err.
583
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:27,452
So I find myself sitting here
trying to figure out
584
00:35:27,584 --> 00:35:30,497
why I'm fighting for a job
that I never asked for.
585
00:35:32,589 --> 00:35:34,205
That I never wanted.
586
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:42,467
One that has cost me dearly.
587
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:48,678
But I believe the presidency
is more important than any single person.
588
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:52,724
So, that's why I'm here.
589
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:59,613
I'm fighting for what I believe
is the integrity of the presidency.
590
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:02,734
Because I have heard
absolutely nothing here today
591
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:06,909
that would warrant or justify
the removal of someone, anyone...
592
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:10,415
from this great office.
593
00:36:16,633 --> 00:36:17,714
It's that simple.
594
00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:26,224
Madam Vice President,
esteemed members of the cabinet,
595
00:36:26,351 --> 00:36:29,435
I need to excuse myself.
I have a budget to sign.
596
00:36:32,482 --> 00:36:35,725
Which will be the only presidential thing
I'll do today.
597
00:36:59,592 --> 00:37:00,673
Yes.
598
00:37:02,971 --> 00:37:04,587
Thank you. Send her in.
599
00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:14,392
Madam Vice President.
600
00:37:14,983 --> 00:37:16,895
Mr. President, I came to inform you
601
00:37:17,026 --> 00:37:19,814
that the cabinet
has concluded its deliberations.
602
00:37:20,447 --> 00:37:23,155
I understand. Let's get this over with.
603
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:27,951
The majority of the cabinet
wishes you to...
604
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:33,203
continue in your capacity of president.
605
00:37:40,717 --> 00:37:42,583
I was not expecting that.
606
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:47,927
Please thank them for this opportunity
and their support.
607
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,890
Needless to say,
this has been a difficult time.
608
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:56,730
Well, sir, it's behind you now.
609
00:37:57,692 --> 00:37:59,354
It's behind all of us.
610
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:02,812
Madam Vice President,
611
00:38:05,658 --> 00:38:07,524
what made them come to this decision?
612
00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:11,908
Two things, sir.
613
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:17,543
Your staff's loyalty to you
through everything.
614
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:20,663
Loyalty is a consequence of leadership.
615
00:38:21,716 --> 00:38:24,333
And leadership
is a touchstone of competence.
616
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:27,427
And the second thing?
617
00:38:29,098 --> 00:38:30,384
You.
618
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:33,185
You, sir.
619
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:37,225
The Tom Kirkman
who started this job 20 months ago,
620
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:41,317
ambivalent, aspirational,
honest to a fault,
621
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:44,653
is the same Tom Kirkman
that they saw today.
622
00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:47,899
You have not changed one bit, sir.
623
00:38:49,786 --> 00:38:51,869
Thank you, Ellenor.
624
00:38:52,622 --> 00:38:54,238
Thank you, Mr. President.
625
00:39:29,659 --> 00:39:30,659
Mr. President.
626
00:39:31,619 --> 00:39:32,985
Congratulations.
627
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:36,539
Normally, I'd thank you,
but I think I'll take a pass.
628
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:40,034
It's like thanking the IRS
after an audit.
629
00:39:40,169 --> 00:39:42,565
I just want you to know that
there was nothing personal, sir.
630
00:39:42,589 --> 00:39:45,923
I'm afraid it was.
It was as personal as it gets.
631
00:39:46,926 --> 00:39:49,259
You should know
that the flaws I listed in my testimony,
632
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:53,506
personally, I consider to be assets.
Am I different than my predecessors? Yes.
633
00:39:53,641 --> 00:39:56,384
But it doesn't mean I can't do this job.
634
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:58,399
Fact is, Mr. West,
you prove my point perfectly.
635
00:39:58,521 --> 00:40:00,888
You've had to face adversity.
You're different.
636
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:03,937
I consider you to be
one of the best lawyers I've ever seen.
637
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:07,652
Truth is, I'm surprised.
I would've expected you, of all people,
638
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:11,990
to understand that simply being different
doesn't necessarily equal bad.
639
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:16,533
In the end, it doesn't really matter
because you lost.
640
00:40:16,664 --> 00:40:19,953
No, sir. No, I won.
641
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:21,791
How do you figure?
642
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,085
My agreement was to elicit facts so the cabinet
could make the right decision.
643
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:27,956
Mission accomplished.
644
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:33,763
How convenient. It must be nice to live
in a world where you can't lose.
645
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:36,848
No, sir.
646
00:40:38,102 --> 00:40:39,218
It's awful.
647
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:41,849
Goodbye, Mr. President.
648
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:49,562
She's waiting for you, sir.
649
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:51,365
Thank you.
650
00:40:59,374 --> 00:41:01,491
Thank you for getting here
on such short notice.
651
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:02,626
Mr. President.
652
00:41:07,382 --> 00:41:12,093
Agent Wells, you're a dedicated servant
to your country.
653
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:16,176
You have made sacrifices,
both personal and professional,
654
00:41:16,307 --> 00:41:18,424
that go beyond the call of duty.
655
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:22,644
And I want you to know that
that has not gone unnoticed.
656
00:41:22,772 --> 00:41:24,559
Thank you, sir.
657
00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:27,149
But today has been
an object lesson for me.
658
00:41:27,276 --> 00:41:29,188
In accountability.
659
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,904
And I believe everybody in this building
needs to be accountable for what they do.
660
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:34,273
Yes, sir.
661
00:41:34,409 --> 00:41:35,900
The directive I gave Aaron
662
00:41:36,035 --> 00:41:38,618
was for you to give me
more information on Andrea Frost
663
00:41:38,746 --> 00:41:40,829
so you could build a proper case.
664
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:44,041
Instead, you chose to accost her,
defame her, humiliate her publicly.
665
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:46,080
- Sir, may I explain...
- No, you may not.
666
00:41:46,212 --> 00:41:50,377
Your actions constitute
rank insubordination which I cannot accept.
667
00:41:51,551 --> 00:41:53,668
In other words, you've given me no choice.
668
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:57,881
You can no longer
serve in this administration.
669
00:42:00,268 --> 00:42:02,555
- Mr. President...
- Agent Wells, you've been terminated.
670
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:05,521
Effective immediately. Goodbye.
