[Woman] Previously on The Oval...

-No, it can't be! -This is him.

No, Richard!

I'm gonna be up and around in no time.

I will not go down alone.

You let me find out that you're messing around, Kyle.

[Kyle] You know that I would never do that.

How can we be this powerful and not find one boy?

What is so cloak and dagger?

-Come on out. -What the hell?

I need some protection.

What are you doing in here?

[music]

I asked you a question.

What?

What are you doing in here?

I'm the Secret Service.

And what is the Secret Service doing

going through the bathroom?

You need to get out of here.

You need to tell me what you were doing.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Someone you don't want to mess with.

-You need to leave! -I'm not going anywhere.

Well, I will leave.

What's in your hand? Hmm?

-I said I'm going. -Give it to me!

I will put you down!

Oh, you don't think I can defend myself, is that what it is?

[sighs] Priscilla, I need to leave.

What is that?

You better be out of here by the time he comes back.

When he gets here I'll be sure to let him know

that you were in here, too.

You're not understanding. This is for his own good.

Well, what is it?

-You don't get to know that. -Kyle.

You are a cook. You don't get to know these things.

The man is already frightened for his life.

Don't you think he would want to know whatever this is?

[sighs]

I can make your life a living hell.

You don't scare me.

Don't make me shoot you.

What you're gonna do is tell me what the hell you were doing!

Shut up, he's coming.

Good! We can go greet him together.

-Just get out of my way. -No. Move me!

Stop!

See what you made me do?

Let me go!

Let me go!

Shit!

[music]

[Man] Ladies and gentlemen,

the president and the first lady.

♪ Feels like I'm running out of time ♪

♪ Gotta get yours I gotta get mine ♪

♪ Not really sure where we're heading to ♪

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

[music]

Are you ready?

I think so.

All right, well, look. Let's take this off.

[sighs] Okay.

I got some questions.

Hey, look, you can ask him all the questions on camera, okay?

-What about your part? -Me? What do you mean?

-I need your part. -No, no, no. No.

I can't be a part of the story.

-So why is he here? -Listen, I'm gonna roll

-on this, okay? -Okay.

You just ask him the questions.

Okay.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

But you made me leave my phone.

I have two cameras set up already, and lights.

-Oh, you thought of everything. -Yes.

Okay.

Just ask him the questions.

-Are you sure about her? -[Sam] Jason...

I mean, she just doesn't seem... confident.

She is.

I'm fine. Where do we start?

Where would you like to start?

With how you got here to begin with.

I'm here because my mother, Victoria Franklin,

tried to kill me.

[music]

I need to talk to you.

Good. I need to talk to you, too.

-Where are you coming from? -Just getting this tray.

Okay.

-I spoke to my wife. -Okay. Great.

And I've got her right where I want her.

Good.

-But I need you. -Yes, sir.

Are you still with me?

I have decided and yes, I am.

Fantastic.

We've got a location on where my son is.

-Good. -Yeah.

All you gotta do is wait for him to get here.

We're all set.

-Okay. Great. -Great.

But sir, is Kyle allowed in your room?

-Kyle? -Yes.

Uh, no. He sure as hell is not.

'Cause I saw him in there.

What was he doing?

He was going through all of the vanity drawers.

-What was he looking for? -I don't know.

-He wouldn't tell me. -He wouldn't tell you?

-Mm-mm. -Huh.

-I'm sorry, sir. -No, no. It's not your fault.

-[sighs] Agent Issac. -Sir?

Drag Kyle's ass up here.

Copy that.

You, uh, going home?

Yes.

Can I convince you to stay?

And for what reason?

Some company would be nice.

It would, but not tonight.

You sure?

You have a great night, Mr. President.

I will. Thank you.

I'm starting to rethink you a bit.

Well, I like the sound of that.

[music]

-Did you hear that? -What's that, sir?

[music]

Is your father a part of this?

He is a part.

Do you think your mother orchestrated all of this?

I do.

I think it was her.

Okay, we got it?

Yes.

[Jason] Okay.

So, when are you gonna release this to the public?

Well, I will have to share this with my boss.

-You can't do that. -Why not?

Because then my parents will get it

and then they'll shut it down.

They won't.

Did you not hear what I just said?

-[Lena] Are you sure? -Sam?

They really are out of control.

You better believe it.

I could lose my job.

You're the only one that has this.

-But I-- -What?

-I serve-- -I don't like this.

-I-- -No.

Sam, we need to keep that footage.

-I got this. -No, she is not qualified.

-I got this. -Sam.

We have to trust someone.

I don't like this. No.

I'm living down here in a dungeon.

I'm living down here in a dungeon.

I have to keep you safe, Jason.

Oh, and you think she's about to keep me safe?

-I do. Yes. -No, I don't believe it.

Have I let you down yet?

No.

-You have to trust me, okay? -[Jason] Okay.

-I hear you. -[Sam] Okay.

You just stay here. I have to take her back.

Okay.

Then I'll be back to check on you, okay?

-[Jason] Okay. -You have everything you need.

What I need is to get the hell out of here.

Soon, okay?

-Okay. -[Sam] I promise.

[music]

I hate to have to do this again.

Jason, I am sorry.

Yeah. Okay.

Come here.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

[music]

Alonzo.

Yes, sir.

Hey, what's going on?

I don't know. Nothing much.

Hey, where is, um... the first lady?

I don't know.

That's your job to know that, right?

Her staff said she's in with the president.

Well, then that's where she is.

Hey, why are you being so short with me?

-I didn't think I was. -Really?

You kind of are. So what do you know?

I don't know anything.

I think you do, so why don't you just tell me something?

Okay.

They're really, really mad at me.

-Okay, they're mad at you. -[Alonzo] Yeah.

For what?

-I don't wanna talk about that. -Alonzo.

I don't want to talk about that.

Okay, so you're just gonna be out here all by yourself,

pissy on your own little island? That's what you're gonna do?

Well, if that's the case, then so be it.

Alonzo, you can talk to me.

I was you.

I don't know who to trust here anymore, okay?

You do know what me, Sam, and Bobby are, right?

I don't know anything.

I'm telling you right now.

Look, I don't wanna talk about this right now, okay?

I'm trying to help you, and you're being a little bitch

right now, so if you don't tell me what the hell is going on--

-Okay, you know what? -What?

-I have to go. -No. Alonzo.

I said, I have to go. Excuse me.

Wow.

[door slams]

Wow.

[music]

I got the pills.

Okay, good.

-But Priscilla saw me. -What?

-Yes. -Okay.

And I am getting a call now that he wants to see me.

-Then go see him. -What am I gonna tell him?

-Are you stupid? -No, ma'am, I'm not.

Aren't you in this with me?

-Yes, ma'am. -You don't seem sure.

I am, ma'am.

You don't know how to make up a lie or an excuse?

What did you tell your boyfriends, honey?

Ma'am, please.

Tell him I sent you to get my Valium.

You think he's gonna buy that?

He's stupid. He'll believe anything.

You sure?

Just... Go. Go see him.

Okay. Yes, ma'am.

I have to think of every damn thing.

-Yeah, I'm sorry, ma'am. -Just go. Now.

Yes, ma'am.

[Victoria] Oh, and girl?

Ma'am?

Please stop wearing that damn perfume.

You give me a headache with that cheap shit.

Get you some cologne, man.

Wait, are you done, ma'am or--

Wait a minute. Is that--is that, that shit from my bathroom?

You put on my perfume?

Ma'am, of course not. You said it was cheap.

Hunter gave me that shit for Christmas.

Get out of here.

[music]

I've been looking for you.

-I was in with the first lady. -Why?

Well...

And she's not the first lady.

Yes. Of course.

Is your radio working?

I had to give it up to go in, but...

You know that.

But you do know the president's been looking for you, though.

Eli?

He's not the president.

-Hunter? -Anyone else?

No. No, you're right.

Okay. Well, come on up.

-Lead the way. -Yes, sir.

[music]

Can I ask you something?

Can I ask you something?

Sure, what's going on?

You really think I should go do that?

There's obviously a lot more to you than I know, all right?

Well, you're wrong.

But I understand, actually. You know?

Small town kid, little country boy.

You're not used to this. You're not used to this chaos.

You're not used to this craziness.

-I don't wanna be killed. -Yeah, you say that, right?

You say that, but then you go and you run off

and hang with killers.

You don't know how bad this guy is, okay?

Worse than the guy that shot you, man? Huh?

You don't understand.

Um, I told the police a lot of information about him and-and

I guess he paid them off or something because he didn't

even spend one day in jail.

By now you must know how this corruption thing goes, right?

Yeah.

I'm aware, so I--I just shut up. And got a job.

Hey, real resume builder.

I don't know what to do.

It sounds to me like you do know, you know?

-And what is that? -Go! Go hang out with Kyle, man!

I'm telling you, I don't want to hang out with Kyle, okay?

Do you know how hectic this is?

Yeah, yeah. I'm kind of aware. Yeah.

No. I don't think you understand. Okay?

I'm the one who goes to work every day and looks these people

right in the eye!

And I wanna kill each and every one of them!

Do you hear me?

Yeah, so wow, it sounds like you like danger too, huh?

-No, no. No. -No?

You're wrong. See, I'm just trying to stay alive.

So am I!

You know what? Look... I thought about running.

I did, but I know if I ran, they'll think I'm talking.

So I just put my smile on, right,

and I just get through this shit.

Yeah, so you're just gonna, I guess, come home every night

-and get drunk? -Every night.

Yeah, it seems like that's helping.

Yeah, coming from the guy, uh, sold his body.

-I didn't have a choice. -We all have a choice, Dale!

You know, I'm, uh, I'm glad your life has been so easy--

No, no! Don't you -- say that to me now!

All right? Because you know damn well my life has not been

some cakewalk! Okay?

-It seems like it. -You know what?

I'm not doing this with you, man.

I'm not doing this with you anymore, all right?

Okay.

I'm really sorry to bother you.

You wanna go? Go, okay?

You wanna stay? Be my guest.

But I'll tell you one thing, I'm not gonna come home

every single day and be stressed out in my damn house!

Okay?

Okay. So, uh, I guess, I'm gonna go.

Go! Just go! Enjoy!

[music]

-Have fun. -Bye.

-- guy.

I don't like dealing with this shit anyway, man.

[music]

Yeah. Maybe I'd deal with a woman.

I'm not dealing with this -- guy.

[music]

[knocking on door]

Come in.

-We found him, sir. -[Hunter] Hmm.

You wanted to see me?

I'm gonna ask you this one time.

[Kyle] Yes, sir.

Whose side are you on?

Your side, sir.

You sure about that?

Yes, sir. Of course I am.

Okay.

Then tell me...

What were you doing in my bathroom

going through my wife's medicine cabinet?

She asked me to get something for her, sir.

-What's that? -Valium.

-Valium? -[Kyle] Yes, sir.

Kyle, she's in an infirmary.

You don't think they have -- Valium in an infirmary?

I understand, but she asked me to do it and I went to get it.

Why are you lying to me?

I'm not lying. I'm being honest, sir.

Where is it?

I just brought it to her, sir.

-When? -[Kyle] Just now.

That's where I saw Agent Issac.

Isn't that convenient?

Sir, I'm being honest.

I don't believe you.

You're full of shit. And you know what?

I'm gonna figure it out.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

[sighs] Sir, if you will notice,

you never had an issue with me until you brought on Alonzo.

Sir, I have always had your back.

But you admit we have an issue.

Get the -- out of here.

Yes, sir.

[door shuts]

I don't believe him.

Well, I did see him coming out of the infirmary.

Still, I don't want anyone in there with her.

-Yeah, I don't blame you. -Wait, if her father calls,

then we'll know who the mole is.

Agent Kyle, sir?

He wasn't the only one in there.

He and the chief of staff.

-Former chief of staff. -Indeed.

-[sighs] It's one of them. -I'm sorry, sir.

Okay.

Would you like me to help you get back into bed, sir?

No, I'm tired of that -- bed.

I want to just sit here for a while.

-Yes, sir. -Thank you, Agent.

Anytime, sir.

[door shuts]

Max.

Yes, sir.

-Is my wife gone? -Yes, sir.

Okay. Good.

-Did you find the first lady? -[Max] No, sir.

I was told by her staff that she's taking care of

-her husband. -Huh. I see.

Is there something you want me to do?

No.

[Max] Yes, sir.

Well, actually, there is something.

-Yes? -Can you, um...

Can you just find out if that's actually the case?

Yes, sir. I can.

Because I've been calling her all day.

Yes, sir.

Can you go up to the residence and see what's going on

-up there? -Yes, sir. I'm on it.

-Okay. Thank you. -Yes, sir.

[music]

What the hell is going on?

-Hey. -Hey.

-[Max] Where are you? -Just dropped off Simone.

Are you staying there with Simone?

No. She's in her room.

All right. Well, you might want to come back over here.

[Bobby] What's going on?

He's asking about the first lady a lot.

And?

[Max] And her staff isn't telling me shit.

And do you know where she is?

No. That's the problem.

-Okay. -So you're coming back?

-[Bobby] Yeah. -All right.

He asked me to go to the residence to find her.

-I'm on my way. -All right. Hurry up.

-Bobby. -Yes?

-Were you leaving? -Yes, ma'am.

Well, won't they tell you when Eli is on the way?

Well, won't they tell you when Eli is on the way?

Yes, ma'am, they will.

Can you stay a while?

Ma'am...

I just need somebody to talk to.

Okay.

Come. Sit.

[sighs]

I can't believe him.

-What'd he say? -Nothing.

He just sat up there and he lied to my face.

I'm sorry.

-How can he do that? -What?

How can he sit up there and lie and lie and lie?

Well, I know a few women that are pretty good at it as well.

-Are you referring to me? -Not at all, ma'am.

Well, good, because I didn't have a choice.

I had to put on a good face.

And that you did.

-You weren't jealous, were you? -No, I wasn't.

Good. Because you don't have a right to be.

I know that.

And I wasn't.

[sighs] Look, I'm sorry, okay? I'm just snapping on you

-left and right. -It's okay.

I understand the pressure you're under.

-Do you? -Yeah.

Okay. All right. Well, then, explain it to me.

Okay.

Well, I know you love him. And he did this to you.

Yeah.

And he lied and he cheated. And it was all so terrible.

-So you get it? -What do you know?

Well, why don't we go upstairs?

No, ma'am, we can't do that.

Why? You're gonna know when he's on the way.

I would have to leave my radio on to know that.

-Well, leave it on. -Then I'd be distracted.

No. No, I would make sure that you're not distracted.

Not tonight, ma'am.

-So you're rejecting me? -Tonight, I am.

Well, I don't like to be rejected.

Well, what happened to the woman that said she loved her husband

and didn't care about my black ass?

Well, he changed the rules.

Or maybe you lied when you said it.

Or maybe I'm starting to see you differently.

And I wanted you in my bed.

And we slept together.

And it was all that I wanted and more.

Well, let that hold you for a while.

And you're sure that I can't change your mind?

Not even a little bit?

Yes, ma'am.

Fine. But I don't like to be rejected.

-Okay? -It's not a rejection.

It's just a wait.

Hmm, I see.

Now if you don't mind, I'm needed at the White House.

So go.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Bobby.

[door shuts]

[music]

Hi.

So?

-He bought it. -Are you sure?

Yes, even though I didn't think he would.

He's so stupid. He'll believe anything.

Yeah.

You know why he believed you?

Why is that?

[Victoria] Because you have feminine energy.

He'll believe anything coming from a girl.

Are we done, ma'am, with this charade?

I need you to give me your phone.

Well, I can't do that.

Why not?

In order for me to come in here, they took it.

Are you kidding?

-No, I'm not. -Damn it.

I need to talk to Donald.

Mm-hmm. Well, my radio doesn't work either.

Anyways, Donald's busy.

I need you to tell him to come see me.

For what?

He needs to call my father. Let him know right away.

Yes, ma'am. For what?

Look, do you have-- do you have keys?

Keys?

To the handcuffs.

No. Unfortunately, I don't have keys for those, ma'am.

Shit!

Yeah, honestly, I'm surprised they let me in here at all.

Yeah, I am too.

Unless...

Unless?

Shit!

[Kyle] What? What is it?

-He's listening. -Come on.

-No. You really think so? -Yes.

-Yeah. -You know, I don't think so.

-How can you be so sure? -Well, because this room

is secure because of the nature of what it is.

No, I know him.

Okay. Well, now you're really starting to sound like him.

-Are you with him? -We went over this.

No, ma'am.

Get your ass out and tell Donald to call my father.

Yes, ma'am.

Now! Go!

Yes, ma'am.

[door shuts] Shit!

[music]

Hey, Richard.

Hey.

[music]

How are you?

Well...

I know. That's a dumb question.

Yeah, but you asked it.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Um...

Nancy's upstairs.

Richard, are you okay?

No.

No, Priscilla, I'm--I'm not. [sighs]

But are we sure? Are we sure that it was him this time?

It was him.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

What happened, Richard?

Oh, God, Priscilla, we don't know.

[Priscilla] Okay.

I just don't understand this. I just--

Neither do I.

But I promise you, I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

I know you will.

You, uh... You should go up and check on Nancy.

What about you?

Don't worry about me.

She needs somebody, though. She--yeah.

Well, have you checked on her?

I can't.

I understand.

-So will you? -[Priscilla] Yeah, I will.

-Thank you. -I'm sorry.

It's okay.

[music]

[knocking on door]

Nancy.

Yeah?

How are you? Hey.

Did you hear?

Why did they kill my son?

I'm so sorry.

It's bad enough I lost Pickey.

I know.

[Nancy] My God...

Now Barry?

I just feel so empty.

I know.

I have nothing left.

Nancy...

No, I've got nothing left.

You are going to make it through this.

I can't imagine burying both of my sons.

I'm sorry.

And they left him in that room.

And I know he was calling for me.

I know he was.

Okay, don't do this to yourself.

I can hear him! He's just calling for me!

Please, stop.

Priscilla, you don't know! You don't have children!

You just don't know!

I'm sorry. You're right.

I don't know.

[music]

-I don't know what to do. -I know.

I don't know what to say.

And I know you don't know either.

No, I don't. I'm sorry.

Lord, Barry!

I just wanna be here for you as much as I can.

[music]

-It's over. -What?

My life.

-Nancy. -It's over!

Why would you say that?

Both of my sons are gone.

Richard hates me.

My life is over!

No. Don't say that. Many people love you.

But the ones I love are dead and gone!

Nancy, don't. Don't do that.

Why?

Let's pray. Please, can we just pray?

No.

My life is over! Look, I don't wanna--

No, I don't want to pray! I don't want to pray!

Nancy, come on.

Uh-uh, God isn't listening to me because if He were,

my sons would be alive!

Well, if you don't wanna pray, then I can just pray for you.

[Nancy] Then you do whatever it is to make you feel better.

'Cause nothing can make me feel better!

I understand.

I'm telling you, Priscilla.

I did something so wrong

that I'm being punished for it!

After all these years!

And I tried to make it right and do right by my family!

-I tried! -You did. You did.

-You did. -Oh, God!

-Oh, Lord, I gotta call Sharon. -No, no. I'll call her.

[Nancy] Oh my God, she's gonna die!

I know. I'll call her.

[Nancy] I gotta call her. Now where's my phone?

-I can do it. -Oh, I don't know what to do!

Oh, God, I don't know what to do!

Sometimes I just wanna run away! Sometimes I wanna cry!

Sometimes I wanna scream! I just don't know what to do!

[screaming] I don't know!

[crying]

Just--just do all of it.

I just feel so gutted!

I'm sorry.

Can I get you anything?

Let me get you some tea or something.

Priscilla, what the hell is tea gonna do right now?

Well, it could make you feel a little bit better.

Oh, God, I just...

Oh, God, I feel so... Oh, God!

[Priscilla] I'm gonna get it.

I'm gonna go and get it.

Oh.

Barry!

Oh, Barry.

[sighs]

This is probably as close as I can get.

Okay.

We can take the blindfold off now.

Okay.

You okay?

-Honestly? -Yeah.

I'm a little shook by his story.

I know.

And it is so far out there...

Will anybody believe any of this?

Yeah, they will.

Well, what if they get to him first?

-How are they gonna find him? -I don't know, Sam.

What?

These people, what if they are as bad as he said?

[sighs] They are.

Well, then we're all in danger.

That's why I need you to be super careful.

I am.

-You can't tell your bosses. -I won't.

Okay.

I'm just worried about what it's gonna look like on my resume.

Hey.

I know you're nervous, okay?

But I chose you, Lena, because I know you can do this.

[sighs] Okay.

-Thanks. -Sure.

Okay, you better go.

Okay.

Hey, don't be nervous.

Easy for you to say.

-Hey, and remember, you can't-- -Sam, I get it.

Okay.

[door shuts]

Hey, you are not gonna believe this.

I need to come and talk to you. I'm on my way.

[music]

Hey.

Yeah, I got it.

[Donald] You got it out of the bathroom?

Yeah.

It was that easy?

-[Kyle] Priscilla saw me. -Shit.

What did she say?

She was trying to figure out what was going on,

-but I took care of it. -That's my boy.

Yeah, but, uh, the first lady wanted to see me and now the

president's asking what I was doing in there.

And what did you tell him?

[Kyle] I told him I took her Valium.

-Did he buy it? -He was pissed, but I think so.

Of course he did.

Yeah, and, uh, now she wants you to call her father.

-I'm not gonna do that. -[Kyle] Why not?

Well, I've been thinking, you know, this may actually

-play out in our favor. -Okay. How so?

Well, he's so paranoid and easy to control.

We've been doing it this long, right?

Yeah, that's true.

So I'm not gonna call him.

Wait, you're gonna leave her chained up?

[Donald] That's the plan.

[chuckles] I like it.

Chains, I knew you liked that.

Yeah, the longer that bitch is chained up,

the better I will feel.

-The safer we all are. -[Kyle] Yes, sir.

But how long do you think this is gonna last?

[Donald] I don't know.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna head home. Is there anything you need?

-No, I'm good. -Okay. Goodnight.

Yeah. Goodnight, Kyle.

You think I don't know what you've been up to, Kyle?

I keep having to show you who I am.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

I have Lena here for you, sir.

Send her in.

Ma'am.

Hi.

Hello.
