All language subtitles for Seven Days s02e22 Playmates and Presidents

We have a device that can allow us to
send one human being back in time.

now to coverage of this year's
presidential campaign. With the election

away, polls show the president is now
trailing his opponent, Governor Bill

Stevens, by five percentage points.

This makes today's town hall -style
debate an uphill battle for the

given Stevens' plain -talking connection
with the voting public.

Now, don't you let those bureaucrats
push you around when you get to

Governor. After what I've been through,
stepping on the toes of a few fat cats

doesn't scare me.

The convention threw Stevens a love
fest.

Since capturing his party's nomination,
he has campaigned at a stunning pace,

steadily gaining popular support. Don't
tell me you only read it for the

articles.

I'm getting prepped for election day.

Studying Governor Stevens' daughter.

Wow, not bad.

She's quite pretty, actually.

It's a shame, you know, such a beautiful
girl with so many problems. I've heard

that she's been in and out of rehab for
alcohol, and she's sort of sex crazy

with what appears to be an urge to bring
down her father.

Oh, so she's made a few tabloids. All
right, nobody's perfect.

No, that's true. But, um, I heard that
she's been telling these wild stories

about her mother dying of a drug
overdose or something. You know, it

a cry for help, don't you think?

Let me get this straight. She bends the
truth, she drinks, and she's crazy for

sex?

Hmm. My kind of gal.

With a hell of a campaign poster.

Ha -ha.

And to think the future of the free
world is in the hands of voters like

President Reagan met Captain Bill
Stevens at Edwards Air Force Base upon

return from captivity in North Korea.

Fifteen years ago, Stevens was captured
when his patrol ship wandered into North

Korean territorial waters.

After he was imprisoned for five years,
he was finally set free and hailed as a

hero. And if given the chance, I will
work my hardest.

Turn the dim hopes of America into a
bright reality.

We must stand fast for progress against
those things that threaten our culture,

our institutions, and our very way of
life.

You're just making yourself crazy.

It's time for you to run along, love.

I'm tired.

I know what it's like to live on nothing

but hope.

by the safe, secure, and properly
prosperous America for our children and

our children's children.

Together we can build a bridge of hope
to save

another day.

Say goodbye.

We must be prepared to use our military.

Whenever and wherever our nation's
interests are at grave risk, we must be

prepared to fight.

Okay, here's where you smack them hard.

Grave risk.

putting the lives of our brave young
fighting men and women on the line.

I would never commit to a land war in
Asia, for instance, something this

president might favor all too quickly,
given his history of saber -rattling.

We will now take our first question from
the audience.

Mr. President, Governor Stevens says
he's pro -family, but then his daughter

poses naked in that disgusting magazine.

Well, disgusting is a word I'd never
use.

The voters will decide if these are the
kind of family values they want in the

White House.

Come on, Bill. Come on, baby.

Being a part of a family, whether our
own or the one we call America, isn't

always easy.

I looked into the eyes of my little girl
when she was born

And I saw a part of me.

But like many other families, we have
struggled to understand each other.

Jerry, I know you're watching right now.

And whatever happens, there is no
problem that we cannot solve together.

I love you.

Now and forever.

talk to him you put me through he's my
father

damn it

Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

Not president yet, son. That's up to
people like you.

Now,

there is a real American here.

I can't believe you're a fan, Nate.

What with his reluctance to use military
intervention.

Oh, no. I mean, he's just looking out
for the soldiers of this country. That's

all it is.

He's one of us.

At this moment, Governor Steve...

Bill Stevens and I may have held
different visions for this country, but

shared a belief in its strengths and
beauty.

Let us never forget that Bill Stevens
gave his last full

measure in service to America.

I can't believe the NSA panel's on the
fence about a back step.

Old Talmadge is in there arguing with
him now, but he better make it pronto.

It's been almost seven full days since
the assassination.

We have to go back. We have to stop that
vermin from murdering a national hero.

Well, considering the limited fuel
source available, I understand the

concerns. I mean, Governor Stevens is a
candidate, not the president.

Yet, Doctor.

Look, the point is we have the sphere.
We should use it. Let the people decide

who the next president's going to be.

Exactly.

Well, after hearing me out, the panel
has decided that...

They agree with Frank.

Hallelujah.

Confidence is restored.

Time will be tight, so as soon as you
get back, you'll call ahead to Stephen's

Secret Service and warn them. Probably
be a good idea for you to be on site,

Frank. I mean, you've seen the tapes.
You know what the guy looks like. Right.

Let's move.

I'll just check. I'll just check.

One clear to shake one.

Ten, nine, eight, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

NSA ID number 378349081.

Now listen.

There may be trouble at the west exit.
Take your candidate out the south exit.

Copy. Got it. Bring the car out of the
south exit. Governor, Governor, change

plan. Let's go out the plate.

In the plate, please.

Get into these cars.

Brandon, take a left.

Mr. President! Mr. President!

President Stevens!

Can I get your autograph, please, sir?
It's okay.

It's okay.

It's not Mr. President yet, son.

It's up to people like you.

Oh, thank you.

I'm just going to sing to you right now.

Hey, they're playing it again.

Three more.

Oh, baby, that is one hell of a shot.

Yeah, well, sometimes you catch a break,
you know.

Yeah, not only did you save our boss,
you saved our jobs.

Which, if we want to keep, we've got to
wrap this up. Forget that.

Frank, anytime you need a favor, I'm
your man. No, fellas, the night is

The night is over.

It's almost 5 a .m. Oh, look, this is a
40 -year -old Scotch back there. Let's

crack that. Say goodnight, Frank.

I've got a titanium card. Care of Nate
Ramsey.

Do some serious damage.

Good night, Frank.

Well, well, well.

It isn't the man in the friggin' hour.

So, um... Is there something I can help
you with there, Jerry?

You know who I am.

I've seen your, uh... resume.

I know you, too.

You're the hero.

I thought it might be interesting to
meet the man who saved my father.

I see it was worth it.

I thought maybe there's some way that I
could thank you personally.

Right here, right now?

Mm -hmm.

I mean, you need to get a little greasy.

That's how you like it.

Maybe some other time.

You really are quite the Boy Scout,
aren't you?

I just hope you earned your merit badge
for swimming, Boy Scout.

Because you just plunge the world into
the deep end.

You're a bit late with this call, Frank.

Yeah, sorry.

Stevens' team insisted on celebrating
the man of the hour.

No, so how hungover are you?

I'm not seeing double anymore.

Well, that's good, because you're to go
directly to the Hotel Alphonse. Governor

Stevens wants to thank you personally.

No, it's almost six in the morning.

Stevens is an early riser. Yeah.

Look, that's a direct NSA order, Parker.

Now get yourself cleaned up and get some
coffee and get your sorry ass over

there.

Great.

Oh, someone turned down the music.

Oh, hi, Stevens. It's going to win.

Sure, I would hope so.

Wow, you're the guy.

Come on.

Sure.

Nice dress.

Thanks. Did it come with a volume
control?

Stan Hegman, our campaign manager.

Hi, I'm Frank Parker, we know.

And as you can see, we're all
tremendously grateful.

Can I get you something?

I just had something.

I'm told the governor wants to see me.

Come on, I'll take you to him.

Before we get sidetracked by any other
distractions.

Thank you, Doreen.

Thank you, Doreen.

Mr. Parker.

Come in.

Come in.

Sorry, my boys. Hold me off before I got
a chance to express my gratitude to

you. Thanks, Paul.

Sir. Just doing my job, Governor.

Call me Bill.

And don't play modest. Hell, Winslow's
ex -Green Beret. I doubt he could have

pulled a shot like that off.

You were special ops, weren't you?

Served in Somalia, Gulf War.

I've been reading up on you.

Sit down, sit down.

Sure you got better things to do with
your time, sir?

Son, I'm famous for cutting to the
chase.

I want you on board.

Excuse me?

Things are perking up.

You're about to have a lot of fun around
here, and it's pretty clear my Secret

Service boys could use a man with your
background.

I can't say it doesn't sound
interesting, but I got a pretty

If you're worried about your higher
-ups, man... running for president has a

certain influence.

I got the NSA to give you temporary
leave, with the understanding that I

have to give you up for any national
security emergency.

You didn't by any chance talk to a guy
named Ramsey, did you?

I did.

Sounds like a career brown -noser to me.

Well, it sounds like you're a pretty
good judge of character.

That's right.

Look, son, I know you're not part of
this crowd.

You and I can talk the same language.

Unless, of course, you intend to vote
against me.

Hey, another night like last night and
I'll vote for you twice.

Welcome to the circus, Frank.

After your speech, you'll do 30 minutes
in your suite with the six -figure boys

from Exec Oil.

Then you got the lobbyists. Hey, get me
some real people up there. That's what

I'm doing this for.

Yes, sir. And now the next president of
the United States, Bill Stevens.

You just missed him.

He wouldn't talk to me anyway.

Maybe you'd have more luck if you didn't
hate him so much.

You have no idea what I feel for my
father.

Only what I read in the interviews.

Right.

So why should you believe me? Why should
anyone?

I need you to give him this.

You got a problem with the mail service?

He'd never get past his guard dogs, and
I'm asking you because you don't seem to

be part of it yet.

Give it to me.

Be careful.

Nothing's what it seems.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

Governor.

Frank.

You having fun yet? Sure. Listen, um,
earlier this evening, I, uh, saw your

daughter. She wanted me to give you
this. I wasn't sure if you wanted to see

but... No, no, Frank, it's okay.

I hadn't gotten it from you.

You could have gotten it to me some
other way.

You saw how she is.

I get these every now and then.

I keep hoping the next one's gonna be
the one that tells me she's gotten help.

Frank, my friends Arlene and Sally just
had to meet the man who saved the

governor. I know, aren't you?

And in our room we have one of those spa
hot tubs.

And we were thinking that we'd love to
share it with a big hero like you.

Oh, really?

Oh, hell.

One second, okay?

Don't go anywhere.

Okay.

I just can't believe that one of the
biggest screw -ups I've ever known in my

whole life... has got such a plum
assignment.

I mean, you saved the next president of
the United States' life, Parker. You

know what that means?

It means that any duty you want is yours
for the afternoon.

Ramsey, this is not a good time. If
you're calling to get Bill's autograph

something. Bill?

Oh, don't you dare call the next
president Bill.

Gotta go.

Governor, please.

Frank, Governor needs his privacy.

No!

It's all right.

Frank, I'm... I'm sorry I got to see
this.

Let's see.

This kind of thing, with everybody
wanting a piece of him, it's par for the

course.

Here you go, sir.

We'll take it from here, Frank.

Frank.

I think you should stay out of the
governor's rooms unless you have my

authorization.

I'm sorry?

It's getting real now.

And you're only welcome here if you
respect the chain of command.

Well, it's never been a high priority
for me.

You know what to do. Do it at the beep.

Jerry, it's me, Frank.

You're there, pick up.

All right, well, we need to talk.

So give me a call when I know.

Parker, I'm leaving town.

You should, too. Look, you got a problem
with your father, fine, but leave me

out of it. Now, if it's more than that,
tell me what the hell's going on.

Give me a reason to trust you.

You wouldn't have given me your phone
number if you didn't trust me. Where can

we meet?

You told Luma.

Big surprise.

What was in the letter?

A little family secret.

You know what, I'm starting to get a
little tired of this kind of mouse crap.

Came from his diary.

The Korean race is an abomination to our
planet, and they're all his Asian

brethren.

They are the seed of the serpent, and
they must be wiped from the face of the

earth.

Found it in my mother's things after she
died.

Welcome to my world.

Sounds like he's planning World War III.

I need to see the governor.

A moment, Mr. Clark.

He's filming right now, anyway.

Okay, guys. Now, who knows why we say
the Pledge of Allegiance?

So the teacher doesn't yell at us.

Well, it's also the right thing to do.

To stand up every day and say you love
your country. Just the way the parents

say they love you.

Even though you may do something they
don't like.

Once I put a frog in my mom's coffee.

You know, that letter should never have
gone to him without my approval.

Tell me something. What is your
relationship with Jerry Stevens?

There is no relationship.

You know, you're not the first one that
she's used like this.

She wants to destroy her father by any
means possible.

I flat out won't allow that to happen.

Hey, come on. I thought we were friends.

A word?

Yeah.

Right.

This is the reason I was so angry last
night.

I want you to read it. I already have.

You did?

Yeah.

She showed me a copy of it last night.

Oh, and you know how it looks.

You don't deny writing it?

No. Of course not, Frank.

I've kept the diary for years.

During the whole time I was a prisoner.

I had to think of those people as
devils. That's what kept me sane.

Did you see the date on that page?

It's from 1985.

I'd only been out of that hellhole a
couple of months.

I've been through a lot of therapy since
then.

I know you understand. Our backgrounds
aren't that different.

Well, I did my share of howling at the
moon.

So, this gets out. It's not pleasant,
but I'd weather it.

What's really upsetting is that she...
She wants to actually bring me down.

Why do you think she's so angry with
you?

God, I knew.

I guess I should just...

up to drugs or alcohol.

I don't know what to do about it, Frank.
I really don't.

Governor, the interviewer from the Times
is here.

All right.

If you see her again, tell her I love
her.

Maybe someday she'll understand that.

Dr. Vukovic?

Miss me yet?

Mr. Parker, how's your moment in the
sun? Is it shining? I wouldn't know. I

spend all my time in bars and hotels.

Really? Sounds like your idea of heaven.

Listen, I need you to get me an address
for a DC number.

Okay.

All right, what is it?

202 -555 -0138.

Hmm.

Restricted listing.

Let me try something else.

You're using a billion dollars worth of
government technology to track down a

centerfold. You yourself said that she's
got a billion -dollar bot, right?

I did not.

You got the address?

5509 Topper Street, number 1110, George
Town.

Thank you, Olga. You're my kind of gal.

Shut up.

Shut up.

I

know

I shouldn't have come back.

I needed my passport.

Don't you see?

They're gonna kill me now that they know
that I have the diary pages.

Let me help you. I can take you to a
place where you'll be safe.

Right.

Then that helps.

You saw what he wrote, and even you
don't believe me.

That was a long time ago, Jerry.

People change.

Well, not usually for the better.

And when he came back from being a
prisoner...

I was 12 years old.

And he was different.

And at first I thought it was me, but it
wasn't.

And he was wounded inside.

And he, as part of me, wanted to blame
him for what I am now. The more

outrageous I acted, the more wild I
acted, I thought it was fine.

He told me he loved you.

You don't think that I love him, too?

The thing is that I know that he still
writes in that diary.

You may be right. I may have seen it the
day I met him.

If I'm gonna help you with this, you're
gonna have to stay sober.

You there?

Yep, I'm here. Frank, this is legal,
man, right?

No.

All right.

Hold on again.

Okay, it's a Century serial number 5954,
manufactured 2299.

Give me a moment.

Yeah, a moment I ain't got.

Okay, got it.

purchased and installed by the Hotel
Alphonse. What are you up to, Frank?

Not now, buddy.

Come on, come on, come on. Bingo.

Okay, left to 96, right to 76, and then
back left to 33.

My man.

Thank you.

A man can make a decent living doing
this.

8198.

After I'm elected, I will provoke an
attack on a commercial airliner,

the crushing of North Korea and all of
Asia.

The Nazis attempted their own form of
genocide and failed, but as we did

the Indians, God has given America the
means and the will to succeed.

I would have given anything to have been
wrong.

Well, you were wrong about one thing.

What?

That hurting yourself was going to
change him.

So what do we do now?

We get this to the media. The people
need to know.

Don't worry, I'll be there with you.

Missed you on detail tonight, Parker.

And I believe you have something to
prove to the governor.

It's all right, sir. I had it.

How could you do this to me, Jerry?

How could you plan on murdering millions
of people?

It's not murder. It's justice.

Justice for who?

May I have a word, sir?

I know a lot of great men keep a diary
for posterity, but... Right.

Dispose of it.

Yes, sir.

And now, you should be going. You don't
want to be late.

What should I do with them?

I'll have to hold them until after the
election.

Once I'm in the White House, we'll have
time to figure all this out.

Yes, sir.

You can count on me.

All right, let's go.

You should have let that little bastard
blow you to bits.

Sorry you feel that way, son.

Hate to lose a vote.

Daddy? Daddy, please!

All right, let's go.

Go!

Okay. All right, all right.

You're going to be fine. You're going to
make it, all right?

You know what, Lousy? Probably.

I want to thank you for helping me do
it.

One decent thing I ever did.

Give me your hand here.

Come on!

Bill, thank God.

You're on in a couple minutes.

You know, I'm a little concerned your
speech might run over tonight.

I've been thinking about that.

You know, they say that Lincoln, before
any major speech, used to whittle.

As he whittled, he'd cut the words in
his head.

The more he whittled, the shorter the
speech.

Hell, Gettysburg Address started at 20
pages.

Don't worry about a thing, Iggy.

I've got it all under control.

You're on in one minute, Governor.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to be the first to
congratulate you, Mr. President.

Now your people have the diary back.

There's nothing standing in your way, is
there?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't worry, no one's going to take my

word over a straight shooter like you.

Just hope it was worth it.

Oh.

This is your daughter's.

Her blood.

My fellow Americans, thank you for
inviting me into your homes this

With the election only days away, I
wanted to take this opportunity to

my plan for the future of this great
nation, a plan that I have held close to

heart for several years, ever since I
was a prisoner.

I knew that it would demand...

all of my strength to combat the forces
that threaten this country.

It would take a man who was willing to
forfeit all that he possessed

and all that he loved.

All that he loved.

I knew that going in, you understand.

I just didn't know who would have to
pay.

I didn't know it would be her.

You people out there, you've got to
believe.

She was such a... A beautiful little
girl. She had so much love.

So much love.

It isn't fair.

It isn't fair.

Okay, let's leave this. It's my fault.

Camera one off.

Camera two off. And three off.

So how are they treating you here?

Sucking. They make me eat healthy food,
they don't let me smoke, and they make

me go to bed with a decent hour. Oh,
God, it sounds like torture.

Instead of my picture having a staple in
its navel, I'm the one that has one.

Do you want to sit?

Maybe later.

You think he'll ever talk to me again?

Yeah, I do.

Now that he's resigned from public life,
he'll have a chance to get some help,

get himself together, you know?

You did an amazing thing for the
country, Jerry.

Thank God no one else will ever know
that.

Try not to wear heels next time you run
away from a bullet, okay?

God.

Sorry.

Now, give me 50 bucks if you bring me a
pack of cigarettes.

Oh, no.

It's a big nurse, though. She's like a
linebacker. If you can make it past her,

we're home free.

I said no.

$100. No, even if you are the bravest
girl in the world.

$200?

You really do want a spanking, don't
you?

Such a tragedy that a man as loved and
respected as a demon would have his

career cut short like that. Yeah.

It was a stroke, wasn't it?

You saw it on TV. That's exactly what
happened.

You know, I hear his head of security
was so upset that he shot himself with

own gun.

Go figure.

Well, he had a tough hand dealt to him
his whole life.

Yeah, well, there are some things a
backstep just can't fix.

Oh, well.

Ramsey.

Ramsey. What?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Before Bill had his stroke, I kind of
told him about you. Oh, great.

Would you tell him that I'm some kind of
hard -ass jerk or something?

No, I should have.

Warmest regards to a fellow patriot,
Bill.

Wow.

Well, thanks, Parker.

You're welcome.

Hey. Hi.

Come in. Oh, thanks.

So, um, want a beer?

Yes. Good.

So what's up? I was just, uh, wondering,
um, this Jerry Stevens, uh, was she

anything like the taboo would say?

No.

In fact, um, she was a lot more together
than people would have thought.

Really?

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

I gave her the Medal of Honor.

I think she looks better that way, don't
you?

Well, I do like the medal, but I
actually think she looked pretty good

other way.
