All language subtitles for Designated Survivor - 02x04 - Equilibrium.KILLERS.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com

Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

The FBI conducted a drone strike.

I can now confirm

that Patrick Lloyd has been neutralized.

Lloyd's on the run for six months,

and the last thing he does

is trash the First
Lady's mother's house?

He wasn't looking for something.

He was leaving us something.

Is this really necessary?

We have to vet everything
that Patrick Lloyd touched.

It's the insurance form for
my dad's heart transplant.

Let's head around back.
I cut a hole in the fence.

Hannah!

Do you guys want to tell me

what you're doing on
private property after hours?

That supposed to
impress me, Agent Wells?

No, it's just to show you

that we're working a
federal investigation

and that I don't have to
answer any of your questions.

The First Lady's
mother gives inside info

to a government contractor
in order to win a bid.

So the First Lady's father could
move up the transplant list?

A bribe? And which employee signed this?

Eric Little.

Eric Little.

So, this is your complete statement?

Yes.

You noticed the door had been pushed in.

You entered the premises

because you suspected
a crime was ongoing.

You found the dead
body. You called it in.

That's right.

- And you didn't know Eric Little?
- No.

- You'd never been to his house before?
- Nope.

You mind telling me what you
were doing in his neighborhood?

I'm not at liberty to discuss that.

A warehouse burns down, you're there.

A dead body turns up, you're there.

Now, why are you at the epicenter

of every crime in Reston?

Look, Detective.

You're just trying to do your job.

I understand that.

If I were you, I would
be frustrated, too,

but some things are just
above your pay grade.

You get to play that
card once, not twice.

It's not a card. It's a reality check.

Well, let me give you one...

Whatever you're mixed up in,

your hands better be clean,

or even this place can't protect you.

You and I go way back, John.

I didn't know who else to turn to.

So, no one in the White House knows?

Well, no one in a position of power.

I didn't want to set off any alarm bells

- unless I had to.
- You already have.

By keeping a lid on it?

By stonewalling a police investigation

into the murder of a contractor

who allegedly bribed
the First Lady's mother?

Allegedly, John. This is Lloyd.

This is his last desperate act

to bring down the presidency.

Yeah, it doesn't mean
that there's nothing here.

So what now?

If it's cancer,

you have to tell the patient.

But what if it's not?

I need time to... to dig into this.

I need time to disprove
this, and if I can do that,

then I don't have to bring
the President into the loop.

Okay, but if you can't disprove it,

you've impeded an investigation.

I don't think I have a
better option right now.

Look, there may be a way
to give yourself some cover

so the whole weight of
this doesn't fall on you

if things go south.

I'm listening.

You want to protect the President,

bring the White House
Counsel into the loop.

Kendra Daynes has got the
President's back, right?

Yes.

Yes, but will she have mine?

Hell no, Mexico! Your
lousy junk has got to go!

Tensions continue to rise

on both sides of the border

as American truckers enter the
sixth day of their blockade.

The truckers are protesting
trade negotiations,

which have dragged on for two months now

without signs of a breakthrough.

Jake from Laredo, you're on the air.

I'm sick and tired of
Mexico stealing our jobs

and taking our money.

Give 'em hell, truckers!

This blockade is totally illegal!

It's a racist move against all Mexicans!

Apparently, the White House believes

doing nothing will make
the problem go away.

They couldn't be more wrong.

Make no mistake about it...

This situation is a powder
keg just waiting to explode.

Move!

_

_

_

Gracias.

The slain trucker has been
identified as Jos� Menez,

a Mexican national.

An autopsy has been ordered.

More than $2 billion a day...

That's what the blockade's
costing our economy.

$10 billion so far, and
the meter keeps ticking

until we get this trade deal done.

Aaron, what'd the Mexican
ambassador have to say?

Not a lot I'd like to translate, sir.

So, Mexico is our most
important trading partner,

Americans are worried about their jobs

and will hold you responsible
if you don't protect them,

and the administration
needs this trade deal

to prove itself on the
international stage.

But after the shooting,
the coordinated blockade

at every U.S. point of entry's
just gonna get harder to break.

Where are we at with
the Mexican trade rep

and our favorite union leader?

They both walked, but we're trying
to get them back to the table.

We all know what we need to do.

Let's get it done.

You want us to cook your
food, cut your grass,

raise your children,
but treating us justly?

The United States is
already the largest market

for Mexican goods.

A reasonable excise tax...

Oh, here comes the tariff pitch.

The offer that is on the table

will help reduce many of those tariffs,

but you have to meet us halfway.

This blockade...

hurts both countries.

Exactly.

But my people have a
different pain threshold.

See, we're willing to suffer
for better opportunities,

a better ma�ana...

A better deal.

Businesses are moving
their factories to Mexico

to exploit cheap labor.

And the President's policies

of low tariffs and free trade...

- Paul, you're a dinosaur.
- I'm sorry?

You're not familiar with
the whole Jurassic thing?

I know what a dinosaur is.

They're extinct, which
is where you're headed.

50 years ago,

a third of U.S. workers were unionized.

- Now it's 1 in 10.
- Okay, so if I'm a dying breed,

why do I have a seat at the table?

Because organized labor still matters.

Where you lead, they follow,

but, Paul, you need to face facts.

Enlighten me.

Undocumented workers
take jobs Americans won't.

Cheap Mexican goods
force us to innovate.

Oh, Mexicans crashing the border
and trying to run down Americans...

He was driving on the shoulder.

It's symbolic, Lyor.

You want symbolism?

It's a dead Mexican on the spin cycle,

not a dead American.

They walk away, they're justified.

You walk away, well,
you're unreasonable.

Yes, we're concerned that
Mexico's voided the pact,

but we've made solid progress
towards a new agreement.

And with Labor's backing,
the U.S. has been able

to lower tariffs on
select Mexican goods,

and the Mexican government
has responded positively.

Do you expect the
Mexican position to change

now that we know the
bullet that killed Mr. Menez

came from an American gun?

I don't, um...

The only information I have

is that Mr. Menez was
hit multiple times.

The M.E. has just confirmed the
kill shot was an American one

based on the angle of entry.

Okay, I mean, even if that's true,

the truckers have a self-defense claim.

Mr. Menez was driving
on the side of the road.

Okay, well, they may
have had every reason

to suspect that he was going to swerve.

Uh, and if that's true,

then, uh, they had every
right to stand their ground.

Will the shooting be investigated?

Sounds like that's a question
for local authorities.

Is the President going to
condemn American gun violence?

Um, I'm sorry, guys.

I can sidebar on that with you later.

So, is this shooting

a referendum on American gun violence?

No, it's a referendum on the dangers

of running the border
at 90 miles an hour.

Mr. Shore, do you have
a position on this?

Uh, no, I do not, but
the administration does,

which is that this sad
situation reinforces the need

for the parties to
get back to the table.

But as the only Mexican-American
on the President's senior staff...

I don't serve the President
as a Mexican-American.

What do you serve him as?

As a National Security Advisor.

_

This latest news has further jeopardized

the stalled trade agreement

between the United States and Mexico.

Mexican-American leaders
in the United States

are calling for rallies
across the country

to protest the fatal shooting
of trucker Jos� Menez.

Everybody was shooting...

Mexicans, Americans,
civilians, law enforcement.

This tragedy is the very definition

of collective responsibility.

But it was an American
who fired the fatal shot.

Yes, and it shifts the
negotiational equilibrium.

Mexico is gonna up its demands now.

That's already happened.

Arronte's asking for expanded
rights for undocumented workers

and rollbacks on agricultural tariffs.

Both of which will go over like
a lead balloon with Zalesky.

- So we're back to square one.
- I'm afraid so, sir.

We need to mobilize the
Hispanic-American community.

They're the honest brokers in this.

They can bring both
sides back to the table.

I reached out to the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Senator Flores is en route.

Okay, good.

We need a political
solution... And fast.

Yes, sir.

We have a broken vase.

That's not a sentence I've heard

since my babysitting days.

A broken vase in the West Wing.

Okay.

A gift from the Imperial Chinese Court

to Rutherford B. Hayes.

This isn't getting more interesting.

There's paperwork.

Stuff breaks.

Have the Office of Management
and Budget file a claim.

- Done.
- Thanks.

Dax, I am so sorry.

Oh, that's all right, sir.

I understand you have a
few items on your plate.

Unfortunately, the trade
agreement is the entr�e.

I'm gonna have to push our dinner.

No problem.

I brought you something, by the way.

The new electric car?

Yes, sir.

Wow.

Zero to 60 in 3 flat, carbon-neutral,

400 miles to a charge,

rolling off the assembly
lines this spring.

Which assembly lines?

We have plants in Tijuana and Flint.

Well, that explains why
you haven't called me

about the trade deal.

Correct.

I'm the human version
of carbon-neutral.

Plus, in three years,

my factories will be
completely automated.

So labor's not your concern.

No, sir. It's cadmium.

Impressive. I owe you a meal.

Oh. Come on, let me walk you out.

- Sure.
- Here's the good news...

There's no legal jeopardy
for the First Lady's mother.

Even if she took a bribe?

Yes. The statute of
limitations is long past.

It's the contractor's
death that's the problem.

Well, only if you're
a conspiracy theorist.

Doesn't lead anywhere.

Before we worry about where it leads,

let's worry about
where you're leading it.

You're a White House employee.

Your actions are
imputed to the President.

Why is everyone confusing
investigating with obstructing?

Because there's a fine
line between the two.

And if you want to stay
on the right side of it,

you have to jump through certain hoops.

You mean speak to the
First Lady's mother?

Yes.

The case against her is
highly circumstantial.

You get her denial on record,
the contractor's death,

anything else Lloyd may have dug up,

becomes immaterial.

I am not asking a 70-year-old woman

whose daughter is
married to the President

whether she committed a crime.

No, that would be imprudent.

- Exactly.
- You have to ask the First Lady.

Senator Flores, the President wants

to bring both sides back to the table.

How can we work together to...

Nadia?

IEl primo!

So great to see you!

Well, it's great to see you, too.

Look, I-I'm meeting with
Senator Flores right now, so...

No, you're not.

She sent me.

Uh, you work with
Representative Yoshida.

I did... Until about two weeks ago.

I sent you like two messages about it.

I'm... I'm sorry, I...

Anyway, I know how busy you are, so...

why don't we jump in?

Okay.

The first item of business is amnesty.

Wait, th-the CBO estimates
that would cost the U.S. economy

$2.6 trillion in the first year alone.

That doesn't take into account

the taxes people living
in the shadows would pay.

It's a non-starter, Nadia.

We don't have bipartisan support.

Let's put a pin in that

and talk about remittance provision.

Nadia, I think it best for me

to interface with the senator
directly on all these things.

Ms. Rhodes. Maya Dunning, OMB.

The vase, right?

It's only a covered event if
the breakage is accidental,

- not deliberate.
- It was accidental.

Well, I don't know that.

The White House hasn't declared war

on Chinese ceramics, Mrs. Dunning.

I'm still required to
conduct an investigation.

If you leave me out of it, you
can wheel in Hercule Poirot.

Thank you.

Well, thank you for bringing
this to my attention.

Of course.

I don't need to tell you what I think

about the prospect
of involving my mother

in any of this, um,
but I guess sometimes,

it's better to head
things off at the pass.

Yes, ma'am.

Which makes Agent Wells' deception

even more difficult to understand.

Ma'am?

You had me poring through documents,

hundreds of them,

when you were only
interested in this one.

I believe that Agent Wells...

Can speak for herself,
thank you, Kendra.

I didn't know if there
was anything to this,

and if there wasn't, I
didn't want to trouble you.

So you decided to
insult me with some ruse,

playing me for a fool?

That was never my intention.

So, now that everything's on the table,

I hope you can see how absurd

this bribery suggestion really is.

At this stage,

there's no indication
whether it's credible or not.

Of course there isn't.
My mom was a secretary.

She was not an administrator, okay?

She didn't deal with executives
or hand out contracts.

- She got coffee.
- I understand that, but...

So you still find it
plausible that a contractor,

who was looking for a
big piece of business,

would think that my mother
was the right person to bribe?

I'm not saying that
it's plausible, ma'am.

I'm saying that we have
circumstantial evidence...

That my mother is a criminal.

Ma'am, the intention
is not to upset you.

Hannah is here at my urging.

And she should know, more than anyone,

how crazy Lloyd was and
how much he hated my husband

and how no smear was beneath that man.

Right, Agent Wells?

Yes, ma'am.

So maybe you should have
considered all of this

before you came to me with
this manufactured nonsense.

Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Kirkman.

As you can see, some very upset folks...

Yeah, come in.

Protesting the death of
Mexican citizen Jos� Menez

in the...

Well, Mexico's winning the
PR battle at home and abroad.

They're hardening their stance.

Meanwhile, we are turning on each other.

There's been an upsurge of violence

at the border crossings.

Where are we with the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus?

I had a productive meeting

with, uh, Senator Flores' aide.

Aide? Aaron, that's not good enough.

She's sitting on her hands. We need
her out there defending our position.

I'll tell her, sir.

Where are we at with Labor?

Mr. President...

you need to see this.

This White House is
worried about globalism.

Well, you know, I'm
worried about our country.

Mr. President, the American worker

won't support your agenda
if you don't support him.

You tell Mr. Zalesky if he
keeps trying to undercut me,

he's gonna regret it.

Yes, sir.

You've got to give them their jobs back.

That's how this works.

You have to roll back

everything you've been
doing for the past...

Damn Stegosaurus.

It's a simple questionnaire.

It's 12 pages.

I'm not having the White House staff

answer a 12-page questionnaire
about broken pottery.

The comprehensive one is 26.

This is officially a covered event,

the result of an accident.

I think that that
conclusion is premature.

Okay, well, then, you can
take it up with my boss.

He's in the office down the
hall... the big oval one.

Hey.

Hey.

You good?

Oh, semi-good.

You know, you ever get
a feeling like you...

just can't make anyone happy?

That would be my childhood.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, you know, this trade deal...

Everyone's wondering if I'm
doing enough for their side.

The only side I'm on is the President's.

Yeah, I know what it's like
to be stuck in the middle.

You want to know when that ends?

- When?
- Never!

6.2 million undocumented Mexican workers

in the United States, Aaron.

It's a national emergency.

We're aware, Senator Flores,

which is why the President is
committed to working with you

to ease their path to citizenship.

Then why is that not
reflected in the agreement?

Because it should focus
on trade. I-It's economics.

Both of which are tied to people.

The President believes in people,

and he believes in honoring his word,

which you have.

You endorse this agreement,

the White House will
be extremely grateful.

Well, this is not ideal,

but I suppose very
little is in this world.

Meaning you'll come out publicly
in support of the President?

You have my word.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Senator... may I address
a personal matter?

I didn't appreciate
you deploying my cousin

to manipulate me on
a legislative matter.

Um, Aaron, I think you misunderstand.

No, no, I don't think I do.

I sent Nadia to the White House

because she is a highly
prized and capable aide.

Who happens to be related to me.

Look, trying to leverage that

isn't going to open
doors for you, ma'am.

It's gonna close them.

My husband loved America.

He hoped to join me and
our children here one day.

But I'm still not a citizen...

so he couldn't.

He was killed by the
people he dreamed one day...

would be his neighbors.

I just got off the phone with
President Moreno's office,

and they're saying he won't intervene.

Of course not.

He can't put his personal
prestige on the line

for something like this.

Why not? I've put mine on the line.

Yes, but you're not up for
re-election in four months.

Where are we at with Paul Zalesky?

I had a "come to Lyor"
talk with him last night.

- He'll stand down.
- For now.

The Congressional
Hispanic Caucus' support

gained us some ground domestically,

but Arronte's still
insisting on rollbacks.

If Zalesky responds, we're
back where we started again.

All of this is happening
because of the shooting, right?

Yes, sir.

It's hard to talk substance
when emotions are running high.

Well, of course,

and now there's a human
cost to the debate.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the border,

families are struggling
to eke out a living.

Like Jos� Menez.

We can reach out to his widow.

Yes.

She's a legal U.S. resident from Mexico.

Maybe she can help us bridge the divide.

That's actually pretty good.

We could stop talking substance,

put a human face on the tragedy.

Yeah, a photo op would show Mexico

that America cares about the plight

of the undocumented immigrant.

And it'll soften Arronte up.

He blinks first, Labor
will fall in line.

He'd end the blockade,
open up the borders,

and close this deal.

Let's try it. Seth, please, set it up.

Mom, I-I'm embarrassed
to even ask you this,

but it's just something I...
I have to put to bed, okay?

So, this is a purchase order

for helicopters that
Icarus Astrotech won.

I know what it is.

Okay, s-so, there's this allegation...

It's a crazy allegation...

That you helped Icarus
in exchange for...

You know, even hearing
myself say this out loud, I...

Alex, ask me the question.

Did you accept a bribe?

Yes.

What?

Oh, you knew that already, right?

No, I didn't.

Y-You were a secretary.

With access to the bid specs.

When you're a contractor

and you know what the
government's looking for,

you have the inside track.

So you broke the law?

To save your father's life.

Absolutely.

He was gonna die.

Alex, if he got his heart transplant,

you think I cared about

who got to build the stupid helicopter?

- Mom, why didn't you tell me this?!
- Why would I?

Because my husband is president!

And had he been running for office...

yes, I probably would have come forward,

but come on, we all...

All woke up one day
and he was in charge!

What possible good
could it have done for me

to confess something that...
That happened so long ago?

Mom, you committed a federal crime.

It bought me 15 more
years with a wonderful man

and gave my daughter her father.

I'd do it again, 10 times over...

because my family matters
more to me than anything else.

The President will make some remarks,

and then introduce you.

You'll read from your
prepared statement, okay?

Okay.

Don't be scared.

I'll be standing there
right by your side.

Yes, sir.

Mike, stop.

Change of plans.

I would like you to escort Mrs.
Menez back to the Oval Office.

I'm sorry. I'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

- Sir?
- I can't do this. I'm sorry.

Sir, the press is waiting for you.

She is mourning her dead husband.

Sir...

I am not gonna milk human
tragedy for political gain.

I am not doing this. Handle it.

I have 40 reporters out there.

What am I supposed to say?

Don't ask me.

I'm the big-picture guy.

There are so many connections
between our two countries,

but the most important is the human one.

On behalf of the American people,

I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

Thank you.

I also want you to know

that I am not gonna ask
anything else of you.

There will be no press conference

and no expectations.

You can say whatever you
want to whomever you want.

That's what our country is about.

If you don't mind,

could you tell me something
about your husband?

He was a good man.

He cared about his family...

And baseball.

And tequila.

You'd have liked him.

It sounds like it.

But, uh...

the last three years, there was no work,

and he was so desperate.

And then, last month, he
got that job as a driver,

a very good job.

So he just started working there?

And he was so happy.

It doesn't make any sense, you know?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Mike, would you please escort
Mrs. Menez to the ladies room?

Yes, sir.

Ma'am, could you come with me, please?

Thank you.

Mr. President?

Emily, I want you to get me the name

of the trucking company
that Mr. Menez worked for.

Why, sir?

I've got a feeling, and if I'm right,

we might finally have
the leverage we need.

Will do. There's someone from
the OMB here to talk to you.

- Please get someone else to deal with it.
- I think you should, sir.

It's about Penny,

but I think you might want to
talk to your daughter first.

Okay.

Have someone bring her down.

Come in.

Thank you, Clive.

Little P, take a seat.

You know that I trust you, right?

Yeah.

And you know that I think

honesty is the most important thing.

Yeah.

I need to ask you a question,

and I want you to know
I'm not gonna be angry,

no matter what your answer is.

I'm sorry I broke your watch.

You broke my watch?

Yeah.

Did you break this, too?

No.

You're absolutely sure?

Yeah.

Just your watch. Sorry.

Come here.

It's all right.

Come on.

Could you please take her
back up to the residency?

Bye, Little P.

Bye, Daddy.

Mrs. Dunning.

Mr. President.

It's very nice to meet you.

I want you to know that we take

the destruction of property
very seriously around here.

After all, we are simply caretakers

obligated to protect what
belongs to the American people.

I couldn't agree more, sir.

Right.

I talked to my daughter about the vase,

and she assured me that
she did not break it.

I see.

Respectfully, sir, it is my experience

that children tend to gild the lily.

Gild the lily.

You know, fudge,

and parents want to believe the best.

But sometimes, we need
to be a bit skeptical.

It was nice meeting you, Mrs. Dunning.

Hey, sweetie. What did Daddy want?

To talk.

I didn't break a vase,

but I'm not allowed to play
with his watches anymore.

Oh. Okay.

Mrs. Kirkman, do you have
a moment for Kendra Daynes?

Sure.

Sorry for intruding, ma'am,

but I need to bring something
urgent to your attention.

- Okay.
- And I apologize for upsetting you earlier.

That was never our intention...

No, no, no. Kendra,
please, just tell me.

It's an FBI subpoena, ma'am.

It's for your mother.

Foerstel wants to question my mom.

Closed-door hearing,
penalty of perjury.

We'll handle it.

She won't.

Tom, my mom didn't sign up for this.

She's a very private person.

This will destroy her, not to mention

what this kind of scandal
could do to the White House.

Alex, Alex, stop.

In the past year, we
were almost blown up,

we survived a major
conspiracy, and I was shot.

This is nothing.

But, Tom, it's not nothing.

It's a 30-year-old
transgression that your mom made

in an effort to save her husband.

People will understand that.

The rest is innuendo.

We have weathered so much together.

We will weather this.

Sorry to interrupt, sir,

but he's waiting in the Roosevelt Room.

Alex, this is going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Mr. Arronte.

Mr. President.

Ms. Rhodes.

Transport Transnacional is your company?

One of them, yes.

And you hired Jos� Menez
just over three weeks ago?

Uh, personally, no.

My head of human resources has...

Mr. Arronte, you're
in the White House now.

You don't get to come here
and insult my intelligence.

Yes, I approved his
hiring, Mr. President.

To run the border blockade,

so you would have the
upper hand in negotiations,

making you complicit in his death.

The intention was not
for Mr. Menez to die.

Right, because running a
blockade of truckers with guns

is a smart way to ensure longevity.

Okay, for the record, I
didn't come to Mr. Menez.

He came to me.

Dozens of my employees did.

They wanted to fight

your country's unfair trade practices.

A sacrifice for which

I'm sure his family will
be handsomely rewarded.

He did a patriotic act.

I'll do mine by
supporting his loved ones.

You signed his death warrant!

No, sir!

The American who killed him did that.

Mr. Arronte, let me tell
you what's gonna happen here.

You're gonna call your president
and you're gonna tell him

that the deal we have here on the table

is fair and reasonable

and he needs to sell it
to the Mexican people.

- The American propo...
- I'm not finished yet.

After he signs the deal, you're
gonna resign as trade envoy,

or I'm gonna call the Texas State Attorney
and have you charged with manslaughter.

Do you understand that?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Then you can show yourself out.

That gets us halfway there, sir.

Get me Zalesky.

He'll take us the rest of the way.

Nadia, you can't let people use you.

Use me?

What, you didn't find it suspicious

that Senator Flores hired you

just after the trade
negotiations were heating up?

No, I didn't.

Well, you should've.

You need a little cynicism
to survive in this town.

Aaron, the senator didn't recruit me.

There was an opening,
and I applied for the job

because I wanted to work for her.

I don't care.

Sending you just to
twist my arm like that...

Was my idea!

The senator didn't even
know I was related to you.

I-I find that very hard to believe.

Well, it's true, and
if you had asked me,

I would've told you.

But instead, you assumed the worst.

You went to my boss.

You humiliated me.

All right, I'm sorry,
but the fact remains

you used our relationship

to seek concessions that make
this deal harder to broker.

"Concessions"?

Whose side do you think I'm on?

Well, y-you tell me.

Those concessions are for
36 million Mexican-Americans

who don't see this as a zero-sum game,

people who have family on
the other side of the border.

We have family on the
other side of the border!

I'm aware of that.

I'm as connected to
my heritage as anyone.

Really? When was the
last time you were home?

I've been a little
busy, Nadia, all right?

I know!

And we're all so proud.

Look at you.

Everything you've
accomplished, our Aaron...

You've climbed to the top of the ladder.

But maybe you've forgotten

who helped you build it.

Paul, we're done haggling.

The pendulum stops here.

Yes, Arronte was guilty,

but there was plenty
of guilt to go around.

We can't treat our neighbors as enemies.

We need to make deals with them.

Bad deals.

Imperfect ones.

But if everybody is so afraid of losing,

how on earth can anyone ever win?

I will back you, sir...

but you still have a problem.

Okay, I'm listening.

This thing is so compromised,

neither side can embrace it.

You can make this deal, yes,

but it's eventually gonna be unmade.

What if I was able to
give both parties something

without either side losing anything?

Well, then, you'd have
a deal that might last,

but how are you gonna do that?

I'm gonna buy a friend dinner.

Are you live streaming?

Excuse me?

Your computer seems to have
a perfect view to the hallway.

Yes, my nephew in Saginaw's
recovering from a broken leg,

but Sammy's fascinated
with the White House,

- so I like to do this for him.
- Is it always on?

- Yes.
- And how long does

the computer store video?

I don't know. A week, I guess?

Am I in trouble?

Not at all.

How is it you're treating me to dinner,

but I still feel like

everyone's gonna wind
up dining out on me?

For a smart guy,

that's a pretty simple
way of looking at things.

It is simple.

You're asking me to slow the rollout

of my automated plants.

To save jobs.

You employ 50,000 people
on both sides of the border.

Who get to stave off unemployment

for a few more years.

How does that break your log jam?

It helps both sides back the deal

without losing anything in the bargain.

It nudges us across the finish line.

And it costs me a fortune.

I'll push for tax breaks,

and you'll be a hero
south of the border.

Mexico walked into the 21st century

as one of the world's
greatest polluters.

They want to change that record.

It'd be a huge market
for your electric cars.

None of this will make me whole.

In the short term, no,

but you're a privately owned company.

You don't have to
answer to shareholders,

and we both know you can afford it.

Oh, I need a better reason than that.

How 'bout your president asked you?

That's a better reason.

The future's coming whether
you're ready or not, Tom.

Now, you can try to hold
back the rushing water,

but one day, the dam is gonna burst.

I know.

I was just trying to buy time,

make sure everybody can swim.

Is this you?

Uh, the camera adds 10 pounds,

but yes, yes.

And why were you running?

Well, it was almost midnight.

I realized my exercise monitor

showed 9,200 steps for the day.

I had barely two minutes to make 10,000.

Our insurance covers negligence.

It doesn't cover intentional
destruction of property.

But your behavior here was reckless,

which puts us squarely in a gray area.

- How gray?
- It's a discretionary determination.

I see.

Is there anything I can do
to inform that discretion?

Meaning what?

How can I help you understand

that this was, in fact, an accident?

Are you trying to bribe me?

Of course not. I'm...

Right?

I suppose further investigation

could shed some light on the incident.

It would.

A secondary questionnaire,
deposition, perhaps.

You'll find me very forthcoming.

Good.

Let's discuss this further over dinner.

- Dinner?
- Yes.

- How much?
- For what?

The vase. How much?

It was last appraised at $1.2 million.

I'm gluten-free.

Great.

Let's face the facts...

This deal's the Kirkman compromise,

not a win-win. It's a lose-lose.

Well, maybe he should, uh...

Seth.

Grab a beer. You deserve one.

Oh, I'm good, thank you.

And does anybody think

the United States won anything here?

What's the temperature out there?

Lukewarm, sir.

I don't think that's a fair assessment.

The blockade's over,

the country's not
hemorrhaging money anymore,

and we hammered out a
crucial trade agreement.

Despite incentives for both sides,

this thing fell far short
of anything anyone wanted.

Well, if no one's happy,

that's the mark of a good deal, sir.

Then this was a great deal, Lyor.

Aaron!

Sophia.

�Como estas? �Como estas?

I'm glad you made it.

I'm glad I made it.

iM�ralo! Just in time for dinner!

Aaron.

You subpoenaed the First
Lady's mother after we spoke?

Hannah...

- Why did you do it?
- I had to do it.

You're such a bastard, John.

I'm gonna give you a pass on that,

'cause you and I go back a long way,

but it's a one-time pass.

I'm the director of the FBI.

You cross a line with me,
it's gonna stay crossed.

I came to you in friendship
and in confidence!

And I intended to
honor that confidence...

Till when? Till your ambition
got the better of you?

No. This did.

Icarus Astrotech contract
with the Defense Department.

For $3 billion.

They landed it six months ago,

right after Lloyd's Pentagon hack,

and the Icarus signatory is Eric Little,

the guy who bribed the First
Lady's mother back in '87,

the guy who just turned up dead.

So I don't think I have to
tell you what this looks like,

but I can tell you that I have
an obligation to investigate it,

and I intend to do my job.
