Put the comforter over your head.

[Sam] Previously on The Oval...

If we do this, then you have to promise me, okay,

that we'll take every single one of these mother-- down.

-Do you hear me? -Yes, absolutely.

Why were you accessing the first lady's phone records?

I was asked to do so.

By whom?

The chief of staff.

-[Kareem] I need you to meet me. -Where?

-[mouthing] At K & Vincent's. - At K & Vincent.

Okay.

Shit.

That's Jason.

Sam, you want to give me that information?

Sir.

What are you doing?

I was working.

Yeah, and why were you working on that computer?

Oh, I was checking the first lady's call log, sir.

And why were you doing that?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm told that you aren't working right now.

No. As you can see, I'm here.

Well, the president...

Vice president, Sam.

[music]

Does the president know you're here?

Boy, you are really barking

up the wrong tree now, aren't you?

I'm sorry, sir. I don't mean to be...

Oh, no, no, Sam.

Don't change the subject.

What were you doing? Hm?

I was looking at her record, like I said.

Yeah, you said that.

But why?

You made a request to see her last calls.

Yes.

I want to know why that is.

Why do you care, Sam?

Sir, I am responsible for these agents.

Are you working with the vice president?

I don't know what you mean, sir.

You know, all that bullshit, it's behind us now, right?

Oh, yes, sir.

Well, something tells me

that you don't believe that the son did it, do you?

Yes, sir.

Well, the country already knows

that they are innocent of all those charges, Sam.

Yes, sir.

But here you are, looking at her phone records.

Boy.

Would you mind telling me why you requested them?

Yeah.

[Sam] Go on.

I'm not telling you a damn thing.

Yes, sir.

Sam, you are really skating on some thin ice right now.

You know that?

-I'm sorry, sir. -[Donald] Yeah.

You damn sure better be.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Yeah.

You can give me

whatever information you found on that computer right there.

Well, I have nothing, sir, because Kyle scrubbed it.

Huh.

Sam, I'm watching you.

Yes, sir.

Hmm.

[music]

[Man] Ladies and Gentlemen, the President and First Lady.

♪ It feels like I'm running out of time ♪

♪ You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine ♪

♪ Not really sure where we're headed to ♪

♪ I just hope that you make it when I do ♪

[music]

What did he say?

He said he didn't find anything.

Yeah, I scrubbed it.

Okay. Good.

You know he is gonna be a problem.

Oh, Kyle, he already is a problem.

Yes, he is.

But we can't do anything about it yet.

-You think? -No.

No, not while the vice president...

Shit, I can't believe I'm saying this,

is the sitting president.

Well, how much longer will that be?

I don't know, but I know we have to get him up,

and we've got to get him moving around real soon.

All right. Well, what does he need?

-No. No drugs. -What?

I said no drugs.

Cocaine won't...

What did I just say? What did I just say?

It'll have him up.

No, Kyle, listen, he's...

Shit.

His kidneys are failing.

-What? -Yeah.

Yeah, from the fentanyl.

Uh... [clear throat]

So... Wow. Okay.

-So, no drugs. -[Kyle] Yes, sir.

-I mean it, Kyle. -Okay.

-Okay? -I got it.

Jeez, where's this first lady at?

Yeah, she's still in your office.

Oh, my God, she's...

Why won't she just go upstairs?

I don't know.

Shit, this bitch.

Let me go take care of her.

All right.

[music]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hey, this is Jason.

What?

[Jason] Hi. It's me.

Where are you?

I can't tell you that right now.

Okay, but listen.

What's going on, Jason?

Allan, there are people

who are trying to -- kill me.

What? Okay, look.

You shouldn't be calling me on this phone.

No, don't worry. All right.

I'm on a burner phone.

You can't trace it. I'm okay. All right.

I don't care what you're on. I'm not.

Allan, I don't know what to do right now.

Look, I can't help you, Jason.

I don't know where else to go, man.

I got nothing. I got nothing.

[exhales] Okay, look. You know how they are.

Yeah. Yes, I know how they are.

I gotta get off this phone, okay?

[Jason] Okay, okay. But listen.

Can I call you back in, like, a little while?

Can I call you back?

All right, look, I'll be out of here in an hour.

You call me then.

Okay, thank you so much. Bye.

[music]

[music]

So?

Victoria, I need to talk to you about Sam.

Did you find Jason?

No, we did not.

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry.

This is a joke. This is a joke.

Look, they have an idea of where he is, so it's fine.

An idea is not finding him, Donald.

Victoria, listen to me.

Okay, I need to talk to you right now about Sam.

-What? What about him? -Okay.

I know that you and the vice president

are doing your thing and having sex...

Oh, Donald, don't start that shit!

But I need you to go to Eli

and get him right now to let Sam go.

Why would I do that?

Because he is working for him, Victoria.

I can handle it.

No, no, look, I can't do

anything about it while he's president, okay?

But you got to talk to him.

Sam is not a problem, Donald.

Victoria?

Look, if I wanted him gone, he'd be gone.

Wait, wait, wait, no.

Do you like him?

What do you mean?

Okay, look, Victoria,

I know you've been having sex with this little guy

all around this White House, but do you...

No. Do you actually like him?

-Maybe. -Come on, Victoria!

What? If Hunter can have all his whores, I can too.

Victoria, he needs to go.

You got to understand that.

No, you don't get it.

We need to keep him close

so that we can keep an eye on him.

No, no, no, Victoria, no, I don't like that.

I don't like that.

Donald, just let the master work.

Oh, so, so, so you're the master?

Yes.

Who the hell do you

think has been pulling all these strings?

Okay.

And what am I?

You're my makeup artist, darling.

What?

[laughs]

I'm kidding, Donald, I'm kidding.

Oh, you got time for jokes right now. That's good.

Yes, yeah, yeah, I do.

You need to find my son.

You need to go down and talk to Eli right now.

Donald, you don't give me orders.

Ma'am, as usual, I am trying to help us.

This is your idea of giving us help?

[Donald] Yes!

Go and talk to Eli.

Bitch!

As I said, you don't give me orders.

Okay, okay, ma'am.

Would you please, please go and talk to Eli?

Much better.

Okay. Where is he?

I'm pretty sure you know where he is.

Excuse me?

The Oval Office, ma'am.

I'll go talk to him.

You do that.

You better find my son.

We will find him, ma'am.

Okay, okay! Okay, don't get snippy, lady!

Ooh!

[music]

[sliding door clanking]

[music]

So did you hear him?

Yeah.

And do you believe him?

Sure.

So he just left.

[Max] I guess so.

I don't know.

Why not?

Because The Highest doesn't just let people leave.

So you don't think he really left there?

[Bobby] No.

Especially someone that looks like Jason.

What are you saying?

Daddy likes young boys.

All right. I don't want to hear this shit.

I'm just telling you.

So you think he's still there, then?

No. Our guy's telling the truth.

Well, which one is it?

You know what? It doesn't even matter.

He won't tell the white devil shit, so it's up to you.

But I don't think you look like a white devil.

-So will you stop it? -He needs to stop it!

You beat the shit out of him. Max, what do you expect?

You got the information

'cause I beat the shit out of him!

And you know damn well what I'd do to Kyle

makes this look like a walk in the park.

[loud bang]

You feel better?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

OK. OK.

So what should we, uh... What should we do with him?

I think we should call Sam.

I've been trying. He's not answering.

So what do we do now?

Sam did have a guy on Jason.

Any idea who it was?

He didn't say much about him, but the cabin they were in

was totally off the grid.

I see.

And if he let Jason leave on a motorbike, there's no way

they didn't have a tracker on it.

Shit, you think?

[Max] Yeah.

So if we go to that site

and scan for a frequency in that house...

Yeah, but the house blew up, didn't it?

[Max] Yeah.

Maybe there's something there that surfaced.

It's worth a shot.

[Max] Shit, that's all we got right now.

I'll take a drive out there.

-OK. -[Max] All right.

Let me know if you get a hold of Sam.

[Bobby] Will do.

OK.

[crickets chirping]

[music]

[door opens]

-Hi. -Hi.

Thank you for coming.

Yeah, of course.

I know that this is all crazy.

Yes, it is.

So then, Priscilla, I'm just gonna get right down to it.

Please.

I know that you brought us all that information, and now...

It didn't work.

No.

I didn't know that my husband was in on it.

You think he is?

I know he is.

-Oh, wow. -Yeah.

I am devastated, disgusted, just all over the place.

God, I'm so sorry.

And you know, he made me apologize to her.

I saw that.

And the fact that that bitch asked me to get on my knees...

-I know. -She is--

The worst person in the world.

And we have to take her down.

Let's do it.

It's just, you have no idea

how it feels to be betrayed like this.

Well, no, I think I do.

Shit.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Her and Sam?

Yeah. And we're through.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for you, too.

Look, honestly, I wish that I could just be done with Eli.

Well, that takes a while.

And I hate that I still love him.

Of course you do.

You still love Sam?

And it makes me mad as hell that I do.

Well, I can't even look at Eli right now.

Well, you're doing a great job.

No, no, no.

Being in politics,

that's when you learn how to fake it.

Yeah, I'm sure.

But me and Eli, we never had to fake it with each other.

I know exactly what you mean.

So I feel like I can trust you.

So I feel like I can trust you.

So I'm going to tell you some things.

Okay.

I'm working with the FBI.

Are you?

Yeah.

They're running a small investigation into all of this.

But do you think you can trust it?

Yeah, yeah, these are people that I've known for a long time,

and they're not reporting to their higher-ups

so that we can gather all of this evidence.

That is dangerous.

I know, but we have to build an airtight case.

We tried that.

Right, right, but then they spun it on their son.

Exactly.

But Jason is alive, and I had him moved.

You did?

Yeah, with their help.

But he did kill Jean.

Right. You said that.

He is a monster, okay?

You have to be careful.

I know that, Priscilla, but he is our only hope.

I do not like the sound of that.

Listen, this is what's going to happen, okay?

We've been tracking him.

I started looking into Ellie's files that she had,

something about an operation.

It didn't look legit.

But that's when I found out that they were tracing him.

Okay.

And then Jason ran away.

And then Sam...

Wait, wait. Sam knows about this?

Yes.

And we need him with us.

Okay.

Well, I can say that Sam is good at his job.

He is very reliable.

So we can trust him?

Yeah, you can.

And he won't tell the first lady?

No. No, he won't.

Are you sure?

I was wrong about him continuing to sleep with her,

but I don't think he would do this.

It's so hard to trust these people.

We have each other now.

Yeah, we do.

So...

we have to find the son.

Right, right.

Because there's no other option.

Well, how long do you think your husband will be president?

I don't know.

Because Hunter is in bad shape.

Is he?

And as president,

Eli will be able to get direct access

to all of the presidential records.

No. He won't do that.

Maybe you can convince him.

That's going to be hard.

Why?

Because he is sleeping with that bitch, Victoria.

I don't know where his loyalties lie.

Say no more. I get it.

I get it.

Okay. I'll tell you what.

I'll do what I have to do with Eli

if you do what you have to do with Sam.

What do you mean?

You know what it means.

That ain't going to happen.

Okay. Well, then we're gonna have to find another way.

Yes, we will.

So I was thinking of leaking to the press

that the president overdosed.

No, no, no. That wouldn't be the best move.

I know.

The optics of that would make your husband look horrible.

I know.

So, yeah, we got to find another way.

-So we have to find the son. -Okay.

But what happened to the daughter?

Well, if they hit him as well as they hit her,

we will never find him.

Listen, sis, we are two brilliant women

that are much smarter than all of these men.

Yes, we are.

Well, we can figure this out.

All right, let's talk it out.

We're going to need a drink for this.

Please.

Here you go.

Thank you.

[knocking door]

-Who is it? -It's Kal.

-Hi. -Are you Dale?

-Yeah. -Can we come in?

-Yeah, sure. -Thank you.

[music]

-So, who are you guys? -Who are you to Allan?

He's just someone that I know.

-I see. -And who are you to Allan?

We're just someone he knows as well.

I see.

Is there something here for us?

Yeah. Yeah, it's right here, actually.

Okay, thank you.

So what kind of officers did you say you guys were again?

We didn't say we were.

Well, your, your badge is kind of saying you are.

It's also, um, saying "federal".

Is this the room where his girlfriend was killed?

Okay, who, who are you guys?

Just some people trying to help him.

Help him do what, exactly?

Stop some very bad people.

Okay, I see.

You're from Virginia?

How did you know that?

We have our ways.

Okay, uh, what's with all the questions?

We just want you to know that we are not the enemy.

We're here to help you and him.

-You're here to help me? -Yes.

How, exactly? [knocking door]

Shit.

-You expecting somebody? -No.

Wait, hold on, hold on.

We're FBI.

What?

Ask who it is.

Who is it?

[Kyle] It's Kyle.

Um, what do you want?

[Kyle] Open the door or I'm breaking it down.

[whispers] Who is this asshole?

[Kyle] Open the door!

He's a Secret Service guy that works for the president.

We're gonna step out of the room. Let him in.

No, no, he's gonna hurt me.

We're not gonna let him do that.

What are you guys gonna do, shoot?

Open it.

[music]

What?

Was that any way to greet your long-lost lover?

You are not my lover.

Yeah, well I wanna be.

You are crazy, though.

Yeah, yeah, that too.

Um, so what do you want?

Well, I... [clears throat] I wanted to talk to you.

Well, um, I don't really have anything to say to you.

Well, I have something to say to you.

I don't care.

I've missed you.

Please.

Look, Dale, I'm really sorry that Donald had you shot.

And, uh, yeah, he did that because he thought

we were a thing, remember?

Well, you lived.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Let me sit.

[music]

Why are you here?

I told you, I don't wanna go--

You know what? No, no, no. Hold on, hold on. I--

Look.

Here's a key to my place.

Okay? Come over.

I know that you don't have anywhere to go.

I know about all the drugs at the pharmacy,

and I know that you are in trouble.

I'm not in trouble.

Fentanyl deaths and overdoses, you are in trouble.

But I didn't have anything to do

with that, so why would I be in trouble?

So I can help you.

Thanks, but I don't really need your help.

Oh, your country ass needs my help, come on.

You could be going to prison, okay?

We can lay this all on Allan.

I don't wanna lay it all on Allan, okay?

And I don't need to because I didn't do anything, all right?

Come on, Dale.

I don't think you understand.

The president took some of that shit.

This isn't a matter for the local police.

This goes all the way to the top.

It almost killed him, Dale, so everybody is going down.

Now, you can either accept my help or not.

Again, I don't need your help.

All right, well, here's my key regardless.

Okay? Come over, okay?

Don't stay here with this loser.

Come on over, we're gonna just do some blow.

We're gonna party, we're gonna have a good time.

Okay. You can go now.

All right, I'll be looking for you later tonight.

Don't count on it.

No, I will see you

later when you think about what I said.

[music]

He's gone.

[music]

He's driving away.

How can you tell that?

We can tap into the cameras on our cars.

Did you guys have a police car out there?

Completely unmarked.

That's a lot of shit to unpack there.

Yeah, tell me about it.

You got shot?

Yep.

Do you want to tell us about it?

Can you guys protect me?

Yes, we can.

I don't even know

how I got hooked up with these people.

We can protect you.

What have I got to lose?

[music]

So you had all these meetings?

Yes.

You've done more in one day

than he has the whole time he's been here.

I'm aware.

So...

What?

There's a little button under your desk.

Press it.

What's that do?

Locks the doors.

Oh. I see.

And I have never had sex on this desk.

That's something we need to fix now, isn't it?

I love that you don't resist me.

I'd never do that.

Well, you do sometimes.

Yeah, only when I want us to be more careful.

I see.

Here, let me get you a drink.

No, no, no.

I got it.

You just sit right there, Mr. President.

Yes, ma'am.

I am going to make you call my name.

I love that.

I need at least an hour.

Well, you know I'm the man that could make that happen.

Yes, I know you can.

I don't know how you do it, but you do.

Yes, I do.

Toast?

To us.

Running the whole damn world.

Running the whole damn world.

I love you, Eli.

You sure no one will come in?

Not unless you press that button.

Okay.

Relax.

I got this shit.

I got this shit.

Okay.

-[Alonzo] Inside! -Hold up, hold up!

Just wait, just wait, just wait!

-Be quiet! -Hold up!

[Alonzo] Stop!

[Antonio] Hold on, man. What's up?

[both shouting]

-Sit down! -Hey, come on, stop!

-Stay down! Down! Down! -Stop! Stop!

[music]

Yo, yo, yo, yo!

Hush up!

Yo, you need to take the bag off my head!

Hush up. I'll be back.

Yo! I can't breathe in this, mother--!

Need to take the bag off my head!

Yo!

--!

[pants]

Who's there?

It's me, man.

Kareem?

Yeah.

Yo, get the damn bag off of my head!

I'm cuffed too!

What? Shit!

Hold on.

Just wait a second, man!

Just chill, just chill, just chill.

What's going on?

I'm glad you're okay, man.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey, stop! Tone!

You set me up! You set me up!

No, Tone! No, man!

No, I was just trying to keep us alive, man!

They were trying to kill me!

So you want them to kill both of us!?

No, listen to me, listen to me.

All you need to do is tell

these people exactly what they want to hear.

That's it, man, then we can go.

No, I'm not telling these people shit!

Hey, man, you need-- you need to talk to them.

-- these people!

I said I'm not telling them shit!

These people are monsters.

They do some crazy shit.

I deal with thugs every damn day.

These mother-- gotta go by the law!

Think about it!

They sent an agent to steal drugs from us

and then the president almost died from it.

You think they care about the law?

Shit!

Yeah, we in some shit.

You give me up.

He almost shot me in the head.

You give me up?

He almost shot me in the head!

Tone, what do you expect em to do?

Just some straight-up bullshit

that you would put me in this situation.

--, I hid a -- body for you.

Hey, hey! Don't talk about that in here.

If you do this...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry? Shit you sorry.

Hey, hey, Tone, man, listen.

Listen, man.

I don't want to sell that shit anymore.

-Well, you did. -I'm just saying--

And you got the money, so don't even come at me like that.

We get out of here, we make some different choices.

That's all I'm saying.

Shit, you did this.

We're --.

You think I don't know that? Look where we at.

-I'm singing, --. -[Kareem] What?

I'm singing.

-I'm telling them every damn thing. I'm singing.

-No, no, no.

No, no, no. I'm telling them, I'm telling them everything.

I just told you they'll kill us.

-Well, -- it. -Antonio Leviticus--

Don't say my damn name like that!

You wait, you just wait, I swear to God, you just wait!

Shit, man...

[music]

What is he doing here?

The, uh, chief of staff told us to leave him here.

How bad is he hurt?

Ma'am, if I were you, I'd probably...

How bad is he hurt?

[music]

Leave us.

[Agent Barnes] I can't do that.

Ma'am, he's dangerous.

He's in handcuffs.

I can't do that.

I'm sorry.

[music]

How are you?

They're gonna kill me.

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help you.

I know.

Who did I shoot?

It wasn't him.

I know, but who was it?

My husband has affairs.

So you shot who was in the bed.

Did I kill her?

Him.

It was a him.

You did.

Shit.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry for all of this.

My God.

You seem like a really decent man.

I try to be.

I know.

Hey.

Will you tell my kid I love her?

-No, don't do that. -Hey, they're gonna kill me.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

-It's okay. -No.

I went after the chief of staff.

But you don't deserve to die.

Well, then tell them that.

I am.

I am.

But it won't matter?

Again, I am so sorry.

You're such a beautiful woman.

Thank you.

I wish we could have met in different circumstances.

Yes. Me too.

You know, I was only trying to do what was best.

Again, I'm sorry.

Why didn't you leave?

He will find me no matter where I go.

That's why I wanted him dead.

Yeah, you and me both.

So... [coughs] If I--

Let me get you some water.

No, I'm fine.

I'll get you some water.

I'd rather have a drink.

Well, I can do that.

Thank you. And please.

I'll be right back.

Thank you.

[knocking on door] Who is it?

-[Alonzo] It's me, sir. -Come on in.

Quit wincing.

Sorry, sir.

What do you want?

We have them both.

All right.

Bring them up the back way.

[Alonzo] Yes, sir.

I don't want anyone to see them or know they're here.

Yes, sir.

-Also... Give me your gun. -Sir.

Give me your gun.

This son of a bitch almost killed me.

If you shoot them, sir,

the Secret Service will come in running.

I don't care.

Sir, please, just let me handle it.

You?

That's not gonna give me the satisfaction I'm looking for.

Sir, can you please just let me handle it?

Please, sir.

All right, fine.

Yes, sir.

Again, nobody knows they're here.

You got it, sir.

Especially my wife. Where is she?

She's in the Oval Office, sir.

Okay, make sure she doesn't come up here.

-Yes, sir. -Wait, wait, wait.

Why is Victoria in the Oval Office?

I'm not sure, sir.

[knocking on door] Come in!

Kyle, where the hell have you been?

-Sir. -Okay, never mind, save it.

Did you find him?

Sir, I don't know how to tell you this.

What?

He's here.

What?

Jason.

Wait.

Here, where? Where here, here?

He's in the White House.

What did you say?

Those calls were being made from inside the house.

Then you tear this -- place apart until you find him.

We are, sir.

Every -- inch.

Yes, sir.

Go, right now.

[Richard whistles]

Hey.

Hey.

I cooked you a really great dinner.

Okay.

You hungry?

Nah.

Okay.

Did you, uh...

Did you talk to Sam about Barry?

No.

Okay.

He said he's gonna call me next week.

Oh, okay, good, good. That's good.

He's on it.

Yeah.

You know, well, I...

You know, I haven't had much of an appetite.

Yeah, I can... I can imagine.

But I cooked enough for the both of us.

Okay, okay, that's good.

That's good.

Richard, are you okay?

Yeah.

You're really calm about all this.

[chuckles]

Yeah, Nancy, I just...

I just want to get all the answers.

Okay. Okay.

So...

Anything you want to know.

I'll tell you.

So you're going to tell me the truth now?

Yes, Richard.

Okay.

What do you want to know?

Well...

[knocking door]

Who was that?

I didn't want to just take your word for it.

What?

I'm gonna need you to set another place.

Set another-- What?

As a matter of fact, don't even set it.

I don't need to eat, but you two will.

Richard, what are you talk...

[whispering] I'm gonna go get the door.

Okay.

Nancy.

My daddy is here.

Hi.

Have a seat, Dad.

Good to see you, Nancy.

Good to see you too.

Let's all sit.

I think we need to have a conversation.

[moaning]

Don't stop.

What the hell?

-Was this the plan all along? -Stop talking.

[Woman] Next on The Oval...

Dad, I called you over here about -- my wife.

I'm not gonna let you sit here and talk to me like this!

We can get you into witness protection.

No.

Did you try to kill me too?

Who the hell is this?

You don't even recognize your own son's voice?

You've really been stepping up around here.

Thank you, sir.

I'm starting to think you might be one of us.

One of the good guys.

I'm thinking of giving you a lot more responsibility.

-What the hell? -Hi, Allan.
