Evan green has been released, but he should never have been detained.

What was done to him on behalf of the United States government

was unlawful, unethical, and inhumane.

George mullen's overreach now threatens to eclipse the very terrorism

it was entrusted to stop.

And are we any safer for it? I don't think so.

Because inside this building, my client was nowhere near safe.

I just want to go home.

Are you gonna sue?

Hey.

I was just thinking about Nick trying to do that stupid trick on his skateboard

from outside my office window in Albany.

He kept falling over and over,

and he just couldn't get it. And then finally, he did.

And I was gonna go outside and tell him, "nice job, kid."

"Way to go. Keep at it."

But the phones were ringing or something. We were working on the budget, I think.

I don't even remember.

And that was it. I never… had the chance to say anything to him about it.

- Don't do this. Don't do it. - I

yeah. Today, in front of the oversight committee,

you can't hold back.

I don't want you defending me or the commission.

I

I thought, whatever was happening, I… I just could stay ahead of it.

Well, maybe I was wrong.

I think Roger knew that.

But he could never say no to me.

I just couldn't walk away again. I just couldn't do that.

That would've just made things worse.

Why didn't you tell me what you were going through?

I don't know.

I don't know.

- Mr. Speaker. - Madam president.

The Russians and the Chinese are certainly having a field day.

Mullen's coming in day after tomorrow.

To resign, I hope.

Hasn't exactly been predictable, but I would think so.

Sheila mullen's testimony today should guarantee it.

Quite the stunt.

If his own wife doesn't support him,

and if she still hopes to be confirmed to the bench,

there's no way she can,

neither will the public.

Madam president, I'm not proud of this.

But even you have to admit

a mistake was made in choosing mullen, and it's not too late to correct it.

We need to reclaim the commission's integrity.

In the right hands, it's still the best and fastest way to find those responsible.

In your hands, you mean?

I have, once again, secured enough bipartisan support to be named its head.

Mullen resigns on Monday. I can be sworn in on Tuesday.

Or together, we can make an appeal to call for its immediate dissolution.

Call it what it was,

an error born in the aftermath of collective trauma.

With all due respect, madam president,

you do not have the political capital

to put this genie back in the bottle.

The people want answers. I'm the only one that can give them to 'em.

Says the man already running against me?

We received in a written statement released today

shocking reports

that enhanced interrogation techniques were used on television personality

Evan green,

who likened his experience to those of political prisoners,

tortured and humiliated at CIA black sites.

These allegations against the zero day commission

have been met with international condemnation.

Evan green himself remained unusually silent following his release earlier

our work to find those responsible for this attack continues.

As I said before, mullen remains head of the commission.

No, we have no comment on that.

Any update from the medical examiner?

The official cause of death was drowning,

but he had heroin in his bloodstream, which has a pretty short half-life.

He must have passed out in the tub right after taking it.

What's the status of the detainees?

All released,

though three were charged with crimes unrelated to the terror attack.

Identity fraud,

cryptojacking,

data theft.

You hear from the boss?

Nope.

If nothing else, deterrence worked, right?

Hasn't been another attack.

Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give

will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

so help you god?

I do.

- Morning, sir. - Morning.

Autopsy report, sir.

It's moot at this point,

but in reexamining the photos that Roger provided the commission,

our experts are now saying they're deep fakes,

the most technically sophisticated they've ever encountered,

but fakes, nonetheless.

Anyone could have fallen for it.

- Sir? - Give me a minute.

Hi, everyone.

Nothing has changed, all right?

This is still an active investigation, and your responsibility, as always,

has been to the American people, not to me.

Our country was attacked,

and whoever did this has threatened to do so again.

It's your job, it's your duty to keep that from happening.

Thank you.

Sir, it's starting.

Okay.

Is it your opinion that the suspension of civil liberties is constitutional?

It's not without precedent.

During the civil war, Abraham Lincoln suspended ha be as corpus

with proclamation 104, and more recently, fdr did it

with eo 9066 during world war ii.

Both presidents were in office at the time, and as you stated,

both were in the middle of a war.

I think you'd agree the definition of war has expanded quite a bit since then.

After 9/11, the war on terror was proclaimed.

The patriot act was passed.

Good, bad, or otherwise, many of its provisions remain law today.

Do you support the patriot act?

The job of a judge is to interpret the law,

not support or oppose it.

Torture is prohibited by section 2340a, title 18 of the United States code.

Did you have a question, or was that just for my own edification?

Ma'am, did your husband break the law?

I can only surmise you're referring to allegations being made in the press

and not yet proven in court.

Torture is illegal.

Of course, if memory serves,

you voted against the law to ban enhanced interrogation techniques,

you didn't speak out when the NSA was conducting warrant less surveillance,

and you voted to expand the authority of military commissions

to hold detainees at gitmo forever.

So, whatever the commission is alleged to have done,

it sounds rather consistent with your own past record,

Mr. Speaker.

How would you describe your husband's state of mind?

Sound.

How sound?

Given what's happened to this country

and what we've done to ourselves, how sound is yours?

Are you comfortable with the level of power president mullen has been given?

Key word is "given."

He neither asked for nor wanted this appointment.

Fine, then should he have accepted it?

Well, the founding fathers never intended anyone to have the sort of power

congress bestowed on my husband,

and the burden of that responsibility is his alone to bear.

But I would suggest that the members of this oversight committee,

all of whom voted in favor of the commission and its expansive powers,

take a hard look at themselves in the mirror.

I may be George mullen's wife,

but it's all of you who are his partners in this endeavor.

The house oversight committee would like to declare a ten-minute recess.

Thank you.

Beltway types are weighing in. I'm seeing some criticisms,

but mostly positive.

Principled stances, knows her stuff, formidable and feisty.

I think she's coming off well.

Guys, can we have a sec?

I do wonder if it's wise for you to go to this funeral tomorrow,

in such a public setting, with the possibility of

- proteus. - We could secure the perimeter, but

look, whoever they are and whatever they're trying to do,

they've done it already.

I'm not gonna miss the funeral.

I came into this with Roger. It's only fitting I go out with him too.

They shall grow not old

as we that are left grow old

age shall not weary them

nor the years condemn

at the going down of the sun and in the morning

we will remember them

but where our desires are and our hopes profound

felt as a wellspring that is a well-hidden sight

to the innermost heart of their own land.

Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain

moving in marches upon the heavenly plain

as the stars that are starry in the time

- you all right? - …Our darkness you okay?

To the end, to the end

they remain

why don't you come by the house? Spend some time with us?

Just for a little while, though. Okay? I don't…

What is he doing?

Why did you ask to see him at the cemetery?

Because I didn't ask to see your brother when he passed.

I always wished I had, and I didn't want to make the same mistake with Roger.

I didn't want to regret that.

But you didn't cry either at… at Nick's funeral.

It was hard not to, but with everything going on,

with the press and everything, it just, you know

it just didn't feel like the right thing to do, that I had a choice.

They were all choices.

And none were easy.

But you were right. I signed up for this.

All of it.

To be judged, to be misjudged because I believed in this work.

I believed in what I'm doing.

And you like the applause.

- I don't... - you don't like the applause?

- You don't like the crowd? - Come on.

The prophet is never without honor except in his own home.

Right. And you're still the prophet.

I know you paid a price for my decisions. You all have.

Your mother

your brother, losing him

to drugs.

Suicide.

- He committed suicide. That is... - no, he didn't.

You don't know that. None of us do. He od'd.

You may think he killed himself, but that, there's no proof of that.

- And I didn't see anything. - No shit, you didn't see anything.

Well, I didn't, and neither did your mother.

I tried my best.

I tried to do it better with Roger.

I know you loved him, for a time at least.

Longer than you think.

I'm sorry I disappointed you. In a lot of ways, I'm sorry.

I'd list them all, but I'd probably make it worse by leaving out something.

Twenty-four days in, and we still don't know who's behind all this.

You should have just stayed here.

You should've stayed here and finished your memoir.

I did tell you to do that. I said this was a mistake.

- You did. - Yeah, I did.

I just wish that, for once, you would have listened to me.

"I just wanted you to know."

That's it. That's his only personal comment.

And he left it there so I could find it.

It's a confession and a leg up.

Those offshore deposits that were found. Most likely from his client, Bob lyndon.

The hedge fund guy.

And frequent Evan green target.

Yeah, lyndon supplied the photos. Roger passed them on to us.

To shut green up?

Or fuck us up.

Might've been a little bit of both.

He started transcribing the traffic on a long-range am radio.

Apparently, lyndon had one on his boat.

And the reapers at their farm.

Only way to avoid the government's pervasive surveillance of digital comms

is to go full analog.

Well, most of what he heard was in code.

But he recognized a phrase that lyndon had said to him once.

"People are always looking for constellations in the stars."

Lyndon is tyron44.

Call him whatever you want.

With lyndon's resources, he's a ghost.

Battery's already in.

What was the frequency Roger was listening on?

1140.

There.

Delta 3-5-1.

Red rooster. Golf zulu.

Confirm.

Roger listened to dozens of voices on this channel.

Lyndon may be part of zero day, but not the only part.

And my guess, nowhere near the biggest.

And whatever they're talking about, we need to break the code.

I'll bring in a cryptologist. Let's find some more long-range radios.

Okay. Nobody goes home tonight.

Delta 3-5-1. Golf zulu. Confirm.

Holy shit.

Look, they scrambled the alphabet before they started moving the letters forward.

Transcript from the first day of the homestead attack.

Xray Victor Oscar foxtrot equals bank.

And after midnight, it's yankee whiskey papa golf.

One-digit rotation after every day that passes.

A phonetic alphabet gets us location.

Numbers get us dates and times.

And the rest?

Small talk, lots of it.

But it's definitely them.

We got 'em.

You got everything?

Hard copy, laptop if you'd rather.

How're you feeling?

Never fucking better.

A major breakthrough.

Last night, we were able to gain access to a communications system

used by the zero day conspirators.

As you'll see in the report,

these conspirators had knowledge of the American homestead hack

before it was made public,

an attack they term a copycat version of their own.

They also referenced a setback at a set of coordinates

that matches the location of the reaper farm we raided.

Where, incidentally, we also found a long-range radio.

Have you identified any of the people speaking?

We know Robert lyndon was involved, but, unfortunately, he's disappeared.

He was just one part of it, but we're about to break the whole thing open.

Look.

I'm not going to deny the significance of these findings,

but after all that's happened,

significant doesn't cut it. We need decisive.

The expectation on the hill, which I've all but promised to fulfill,

is that I will have your resignation by end of day,

with speaker dreyer being sworn in as head of the commission

by this time tomorrow.

That all said, I wouldn't be sitting here if I gave a damn about expectations.

If you really are getting close,

whoever we're up against is only going to fight back harder.

Nail this down, George, quickly.

Madam president.

- Hello. - Your father's not quitting.

And for some reason, Mitchell's giving him another 24 hours.

Right. Okay.

Talk to me.

Every call sign, the other call signs they've communicated with,

how often, and when.

Red rooster does a lot of talking.

Regularly scheduled contact with blue hawk, which rooster generates.

Underling reporting to his superior.

Stay of execution, but it's temporary.

Dreyer takes over at midday tomorrow.

Reporting to blue hawk. Confirm red rooster.

He's prompt, I'll give him that.

Hotel Alpha bravo bravo golf

- dobbs, you getting this? - Yeah, putting it up now.

- Confirm blue hawk. No change. - Golf echo India.

India whiskey whiskey India

November November Lima India hotel hotel tango.

Quit?

Unclear.

Any idea who Emmett Kelly is?

Yeah, a sad clown, famous in the '40s.

They're talking about me.

- Miss white sell? It's her again. - Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hello?

Jesus, did I ask for you?

Listen, I have left several messages. I need to speak with him.

We're at a crucial point in the investigation

okay, well, then you need to brief me on it

because the committee hasn't heard shit from you guys

since you started torturing people.

Is that why you're calling, on behalf of the oversight committee?

Maybe. Or maybe I'm just concerned about my dad.

Or maybe it's none of your goddamn business, Valerie.

Look, he's spiraling, okay?

He's grasping at straws to spare his own ego.

No, he's not, Alexandra.

God, you're encouraging him, aren't you?

Of course, it must be a dream come true,

the two of you, a little team fighting crime together.

How fucking romantic.

Okay, you tell him this.

He either needs to quit before he does any more damage to himself

and the commission,

or he needs to brief the committee on the lead he's following.

I will let him know you called.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Mr. President. Valerie.

All the voices on this channel are disguised.

We have a modulator, so we think we can pose as lyndon

to set a rendezvous with one of the other conspirators.

How do we know lyndon's not gonna be on there?

Well, lyndon's gone dark,

so it might be a good time to take that chance.

Sir.

Tell me when.

And go.

Reporting to blue hawk.

Confirm tyron44.

Confirm blue hawk. Echo golf kilo.

Lima Roger Lima. There may be an issue.

Come again?

My guy left a mess that needs to be cleaned.

Documents, stuff we don't want lying around.

Your guy? Gekko?

The "greed is good" guy from wall street.

- It has to be Roger. - Yes.

Yes, gekko.

Sounds like your problem.

Fuck you, "my problem." My problem is your problem.

Fix it.

Location?

To your right, sir.

Two-zero-zero Charlie xray Lima Oscar Juliet

yankee bravo Charlie xray Victor uniform hotel.

Blue hawk. Copy.

Get a team over to Roger's apartment. Let's get this son of a bitch.

Yes, sir.

- Time? - They're late.

Two hours till dreyer's sworn in.

You don't think he'd pick up the torch on this?

Maybe, but it's my torch.

And Roger might have died for it.

We've got someone.

That's gotta be him.

Yep, 54th floor.

All right, that's a clear shot.

- Run him through the system. - On it.

- And facial recognition just hit. - Let me get in here.

Blake felt on.

Multiple addresses. Long history in the tech sector.

Netrespective. Rodbell technology.

- I've never heard of any of these. - Wait, hold on. I know that company.

Monica acquired netrespective a few years ago

and then absorbed it into panoply.

So he works for kidder.

Bring this guy in.

Hands up! Don't move!

- Don't move! - Okay.

I won't. I'm sorry. I'm getting down.

We should have enough for a search warrant on kidder.

Yeah, we don't have much time.

And I want you on the ground, Carl.

- This time, we do it by the book. - Yes, sir.

Carl otieno, zero day commission.

We have a search warrant.

Private property, sir.

You'll save yourself the trouble of an arrest by just cooperating with us.

- Afraid you can't do that. - Ask him if kidder knows.

Has your employee been notified of our presence?

She knows you're here.

Then open the gate.

Is the feed up yet?

Yes, ma'am.

Get them on the line.

Zulu 7-3-0-1, Athena, confirm.

The whole world already thinks mullen's a fascist?

Zulu 7-3-0-1, Athena, come in.

Let's let 'em see it.

You're aware we don't actually need this warrant.

We'll come in by force if we have to.

It's up to you if you open that gate and bring kidder out.

- Take a look at this. - We can handle this peacefully.

Kidder's live-streaming on multiple platforms.

What's she saying?

Stand by.

America, what you are about to see is an act of desperation.

But George mullen isn't just a desperate man.

He is a dangerous one.

Now, I'm no fan of Evan green,

but let's be clear. What happened to him was criminal.

I've got the resources to resist, but what if it happens to you?

You cannot let it.

Call your senators.

Call your congresspeople before they come to where you live

with their guns drawn and their jackbooted thugs

ready to storm your property… what is she doing?

Daring me to go waco on her while the world watches.

- Networks are picking it up. - …when you see this, it is not right.

But it is also not normal.

There have been rumors of George mullen's mental health issues

that may have played a part in his decision not to seek a second term.

I get it. His son died. He was depressed.

But from what I have seen recently,

I think it is clear that something else was going on.

Have them put kidder on the phone with you.

- Anything? - Not yet.

- What about the backup comms? - Front gate called.

- Guy from commission wants to talk to you. - Nothing on backup comms either.

These assholes have to know what's going on.

They're cutting me loose.

Miss kidder, my name is Carl otieno.

I'm speaking with you on behalf of the zero day commission.

We have a lawful warrant,

and we're asking again for you to Grant us

- it's like literally no one's there. - Give me the radio.

I know you can hear me.

You motherfuckers, I know you can hear me.

Pick up the goddamn radio.

I'm willing to talk. But only to mullen and Valerie white sell.

Excuse me?

Just the three of us. No one in the room. No recording.

Trust me, they'll want it that way too.

Y'all hearing this?

Miss kidder, George mullen.

Yes.

I would advise you to cooperate with the federal agents

surrounding your compound.

Give me guaranteed immunity first.

We have Blake felt on in custody. Calls himself Leon.

Why would I give you immunity?

Well, there is a lot that Leon doesn't know, sir.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

I am not going to prison.

You need to be held accountable for the things that you've done.

What about the things you've done?

Any accountability for that?

Is she there? Valerie?

Yes, I'm here.

Hello, Valerie.

I'm sure you're aware that I own dozens of apps,

but you might not realize that one of them is kindred,

a DNA-based genealogy search engine.

We recently had a fascinating submission

from your daughter, Lily.

Seems she's interested in her family tree.

God. Imagine being 12 years old and finding out

that George mullen has been a part of it this entire time.

Just nobody mentioned it.

But really, what I wonder about is

what will the country think

when they find out that everybody's favorite president

fathered a love child while in office and then lied about it?

Your credibility's already shot, mullen. But this?

Give me guaranteed immunity.

No one will ever know, not even Lily.

Think about it.

Fuck. She's gonna think I've been lying to her her whole life.

I've been lying to her her whole life.

- I never asked you to say anything. - I know you didn't.

I did it. I took responsibility.

Because I wanted her to have a normal life.

Valerie, don't

I shouldn't have come back here to you.

This is, you know… I… I forgot the… the cost of this.

What's going on?

They still on?

Call's over, but mullen and Valerie haven't come out.

Then what are we… doing?

Shots fired! Shots fired!

- What the hell? - Who fired?

I don't know. It wasn't us.

- Anybody got eyes on the shooter? - Negative.

Are they coming in? Don't let them through.

Yes, sir. Engaging.

No!

Don't engage. Stop firing.

The rooftop! The rooftop!

Somebody help him!

Hands! Hands up!

Let me see your hands right now!

Hands! Hands up!

- On your knees! Hands! - Don't move!

Here we can see a shootout

between the zero day commission's federal agents and kidder's security team.

Multiple fatalities reported,

and a number of individuals suffered injuries,

with one member of the commission in critical but stable condition.

Our sources remain unclear on the reasoning

behind the commission's attempted siege on kidder's property,

but we can only surmise that the commission

must have finally made an investigatory breakthrough,

one that seems to have led them straight to Monica kidder.

Earlier today, in our execution of a search warrant at a property

owned by tech giant panoply,

commission agents found evidence,

including signature code, directly linking its ceo, Monica kidder,

to the malware attack that in one minute took over 3,400 lives,

hurt and disrupted thousands of others,

and brought our country to its knees.

As of this moment, we have as many questions as we do answers

about kidder, her motives, and the details

of how she planned and perpetrated this attack.

There is still much work to be done,

but we know one thing.

The American people are safer tonight.

I'll let our communications director, Melissa kornblau, fill you in on the rest.

Thank you.

Thank you, president mullen.

Monica kidder's arrest today was a landmark achievement

for the zero day commission.

Now, we are still in the dark as to her exact motives,

but the evidence is clear.

The malware used in the zero day attack was acquired and deployed

by Monica kidder,

which places her and her company, panoply,

at the center of our ongoing investigation.

Yes.

Agreed.

I'm going to New York.

Carl's in recovery.

He has to be in the icu for a few days but they say the surgery went well,

and he's gonna be okay.

Good. Glad to hear that.

I don't think it stops with her, kidder.

At the house, it's like she was waiting for someone to come save her.

And… and what about proteus?

If she's using it on me, where is it?

We did a full sweep on the compound, her offices, there was nothing. Nothing.

Honestly, we don't even know if it exists.

It's been an exhausting 48 hours. I think you should get some rest.

Just make arrangements for me to talk to kidder myself first thing tomorrow.

Okay.

Valerie.

After this is all over, really over,

I want to meet her.

Lily.

Sure.

Excuse me.

I need to see you. He's

- not on the phone. - You need to call this off.

Okay, this was a mistake. All of it, I need you to call it off.

Not on the phone, Alex.

I said call it off.

If you want to discuss this, you know how.

In a press conference earlier tonight,

president mullen announced that the commission has uncovered evidence

directly linking kidder to the malware that enabled the zero day attack.

Mullen did not offer any speculation as to kidder's potential motives.

Which leads you to wonder,

why would this wildly accomplished businesswoman

make such a horrific attack

against the country that's brought her such success?

Many are now speculating that the attack could have been a reaction

to the federal trade commission's recent targeting of panoply

in an antitrust investigation.

Wasn't sure if you'd be coming home tonight.

I guess I'll know more when I can talk to kidder.

It's amazing how powerful these tech types have become.

Yeah, well, I would have guessed she was too smart to take this kind of a gamble.

Yeah.

- You hungry? - Yeah.

I… I didn't get to tell you, but I saw your testimony.

You were terrific.

I'm so proud of you.

But I'm not surprised. I'm sure you'll get the nod when the time comes.

I'm lucky to have you.

Hello?

We got a problem.

When did you check on her last?

- A few hours ago. - And the cameras?

Looks like somebody looped the feed.
