Dude, look at the lizard
running from the snakes!

It's everything.
No, I...

No, I can't
watch this.
No, you have to.

No, I'm not...The end's the best part.

Do you have any idea
what they're talking about?

Not a clue.

Oh, my God,
you're so annoying.
No!

Uh, Mom, is it
Caribbean Day at work?

It's 38 degrees outside.

Yes, well, it's 84 degrees
in Singapore, so...

Oh, right. The
Singapore Interchange.

What, you're
leaving today?

Yeah, I told you that.

No. You said
it was a maybe.
Oh.

Well, now it's
a strong tentative yes.

I mean, I-I just...
I don't want to jinx it.

You know, we really
are this close

to having a meaningful
territorial accord

with all the countries
of the Asia Pacific,

including China. Boom.

JASON:
Wow. So, what?

You've, uh, you've
figured out who's getting

all the oil and natural gas
in the South China Sea?

No, not... that.

But we have
settled the fate of

the disputed islands, yes,
and... fishing and...

That's good, too.

He's only interested

because the Philippines
are involved,

and he's obsessed with their
new president, that Andrada guy.

Oh, like you aren't.

Of course I am. He's
a total genuine psycho.

Okay, can we just go with
"rough around the edges"

for the sake of diplomacy?

JASON:
I'm sorry.

Have you seen the videos
he made during his campaign

where he dressed up like
his opponents and mocked them?

And challenged them
to kickboxing matches

in kickboxing gear.

I... concede that

President Andrada ran
an unconventional campaign.

But now that Andrada
has won the election,

he has the hard work of leading
his country to worry about.

He's gonna have to get along
with a lot of different people

if he wants
to get anything done.[phone vibrating]

Hey, you know what, kids?
School's at the same time today.

Crazy how that works.Ha, ha, Dad.

Come on, grab your stuff.

Let's go.

Oh. Russell Jackson. "WHN."

[whispers]:
WHN.

Uh, White House now.

Oh, for the halcyon days when
he used to spell everything out.

And so the time has come for the
proud people of the Philippines

to stop living in the shadow
of the United States.

No longer will we accept
the title of

"little brown brother"
that was bestowed on us

by a country that proudly
calls itself a superpower.

To hell with them
and their colonial arrogance.

I will make the Philippines
a superpower.

So, no, we will not participate
in the Singapore Interchange.

How did this carny
barker actually win?

This is who you get

when the qualified front-runner
in an election

gets caught
in a bribing scandal.

Well, it's not
just that,

unfortunately.
President Andrada

has a populist message, and
people are starting to listen.

Well, he gave that speech
in English.

He definitely
wanted usto listen.

DALTON:
Good point.

If this is who
we're dealing with,

we need to understand
how to approach him.

Well, the simplest way to put it
is textbook clinical narcissist.

Exaggerated feelings of
self-importance, pathological

need for admiration, and a
complete lack of empathy.

DALTON: So, for example, he
doesn't care that the U.S. has

a naval base in his country,
or that we've

stood with the Filipino
people for decades?

ELIZABETH:
The U.S. has close to

a 90% approval rating with
the Filipino people.

Is Andrada's rhetoric

really having
a significant effect?

He's a successful
businessman,

owns a chain of
major supermarkets.

The folk hero nature of it
all has popular appeal.

ELIZABETH:
As a businessman,

these last-minute antics
might be nothing more

than a negotiating tactic.

Then maybe it's time
to call his bluff.

Cut 'em loose,
let him see how it feels

to face the Chinese
with nothing but his bluster.

DALTON:
As appealing as that sounds,

it's too risky.

We need the Philippines
to help us keep the Chinese

from further encroaching
on the South China Sea.

There's really no point

in continuing the Singapore
Interchange without them.

Well, then let me go
to Manila first.

If his motives are
as superficial

as Director Haymond says
they are, they can be

easily countered with a little
face-to-face diplomacy.

JACKSON:
You really think you can

reason with the guy
in that video?

Who said anything
about reason?

I'm gonna play to his ego,

offer him up
some military hardware

to boost his
superpower fantasy.

Give him drones.

Everyone and their grandmother
loves drones.

Go ahead, Bess. Put together
a package with D.O.D.

Give it your best shot.

HENRY:
Hey, Mo.

Where are they?

Middle of nowhere.

Bath County,
outside of Warm Springs.

Accessible by a
single dirt road.

Sounds about right
for a doomsday cult.

And not too far
from our dead drop.

Yeah.

Except no word from Ian yet.

How confident are we
in this location?

Tech's crunched millions
of data points

from the signal off of Ian's
camera before it crapped out.

Narrowed it to within
a 50th of a mile.

We're confident.

Have we at least
got eyes there now?

MO:
High-altitude drone's in flight,

but not much
we could see from above.

Maybe we can get
close on the ground.

Yeah.

That's kind of the plan.

You want to raid?

Not just me.

I'm gonna talk to Marguerite.

This is coming
from the director.

All this decided
in the half hour

it took me to get down here?

Gears move pretty quick when the
big, scary bomb is in the hands

of highly-motivated nut bars.

We don't even know
the bomb is there,

and we damn well don't know
our asset is dead.

He's dormant.
It's the same thing.

What if he's confined?

We go in there guns blazing,
he won't have a chance.

It's been four days.

Well, maybe they need
more than that

to trust a new recruit.

We saw nothing
in Ian's video feed

that would suggest
he'd been made.

Yeah, no, all we saw

was Ian drowned in a trough,
and then radio silence.

We have to act
on what we have.

Which is a lot of conjecture.

Like, hey, what if the bomb
is someplace else,

ready to go, and this
tips them into using it? No.

Based on Ian's preparation
and my knowledge of C.O.J.,

I think a raid is premature.

Take it to the director.

Hugh, I-I got your report
on Kevin Park.

Joseph Garcia, the CIA
operative in our department.

Okay, good.
Yeah, I just had
a couple of questions.

Oh, uh, cyanide poison placed

in an herbal supplement
that he was already taking.

That's all we know
at this point, Madam Secretary.

And that his last
posting was in Somalia,

working in
counter-proliferation?

Right.

So his position in
Budget and Planning--

was that just cover until
his next assignment,

or was he investigating
something specific

having to do with
the State Department?

I'm sure my next report will
answer many of your questions.

You know, I-I definitely
understand the need

to compartmentalize
an investigation

as sensitive as this one.

But, well, given
my experience in the CIA

and that Garcia was operating
in my own department,

I think I might be
able to assist.

If we need your assistance,
we will not hesitate to ask.

So, best of luck on your
trip to the Philippines.

Oh. Great. Thanks.

Madam Secretary, I have
your travel book for the trip.

And I have your briefcase.

Oh, oh. Well, it
takes a village.

Well, there's nothing
else you need here,

and the car
is waiting.

As is the plane.

They keep gently
reminding me in all caps.

The window to visit Andrada
in the Philippines and make it

to Singapore in time
is extremely tight.

And the change of itinerary has
caused a bit of, um, huffiness.

Huffiness. Oh, well,
we better get going.

Uh, you know what?

I just... I just
need one, one

quick second.But, ma'am, the...

I'll be right-- One
minute, I promise.

Hey, I need
to talk to you

about something that we're not
really talking about.

Okay.

I'm not listening.

While I'm gone,
I want you

to look into whatever
Joseph Garcia was up to.

Check his phone and digital
records, his personal files.

If he had an unusual
interest in anything,

I want to know about it.

You mean do what the CIA
is probably already doing

without the CIA finding out
that we're doing it?

I'm getting boxed out because
it happened in my department,

and because I'm no longer
in the CIA.

They can be funny that way.

Is there some reason
that you don't trust them?

They're territorial

and slow, and I just want
to get a jump on it in case

there's any kind of issue
that we need to get ahead of.

Because someone on our floor
was dating him?

That, too.
Okay, ma'am.
I'm on it.

Well...Except, you know, I'm not.

Thank you.

Mr. President, Secretary
of State Elizabeth McCord.

Secretary McCord, mabuhay.

Thank you so much for
agreeing to meet with me

on such short notice.

I'm very grateful.

I can offer you
coffee or fruit.

Oh. Uh, no. I'm fine,
thank you. Thanks.

May I call you Elizabeth?

Sure.

May I call you Datu?

I don't believe
that's appropriate.

[doors closing]

Of course.

I... I wanted
to congratulate you

on your election, Mr. President.

Really? I know
Dalton supported my opponent.

He underestimated me,
but, of course,

so did my opponent.

He had no idea my people
would be looking into

his crooked financial dealings.

Please...

sit... Elizabeth.

Well, I am sure

that you are going to be
a strong and principled leader.

I will make the Philippines
stronger and more independent.

Oh. President Andrada,
don't you find

in the final
analysis that it is

our friendships
and our partnerships

that determine
our true strength?

If they're
the right ones.

Yes.

Which is why I am here,
as your partner,

to ask you
to join me in Singapore.

You must know
how vital these talks are

to finalizing
the jurisdiction

of the remaining contested
South China Sea Islands.

And... um, some of

those islands
that China is claiming,

specifically
the Scarborough Shoal,

are widely considered
to be yours, after all.

Partners.

You call us this now,
but that was not your intention

when you bought us from Spain

and kept us as a colony
after promising us freedom.

I agree, that was
a... dark beginning,

but it was also a very different
time in both of our histories.

Perhaps it is time for us
to go our separate ways.

President Andrada...

what do you want?

Oh, what are you offering?
[chuckles]

Military reinforcements.

Five V-22 Ospreys.

We would need
at least ten Ospreys.

I can authorize that.

And a new aircraft carrier.

What about RQ-4 Global Hawks?

What about tactical
nuclear missiles?

I think you know that's
just not on the table.

How do you feel about drones?

[laughs]

I like what I am hearing.

Do you have any idea
how sexy it is to hear a woman

talking about drones?

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Well, I think
that if we can...

generally agree on

the kind and amount
of military reinforcements

that you're interested in,
then I think

we can probably
presume these...

[groaning]

[exhales]

[groans]

[groans]

♪

I have to say,
breaking the president's nose

is a whole new form
of diplomacy.

So is groping
the secretary of state,

in my experience.

But you're okay?

[sighs] Yeah.

I know this doesn't bode well
for the Singapore Interchange.

Then again, Sugar Ray McCord

has put the world
on notice about

how we deal with bullies.

That's not funny, Russell.

I'm not kidding. It's badass.

[sighs] The man is even more
unhinged than we thought.

How are we supposed
to proceed from here?

[door opens]

LUCY: Excuse me,
Mr. President.

General Reeves.

REEVES: Mr. President,
we're just getting word

that President Andrada
has officially ordered

all American military
out of the Philippines.

He's claiming he will rip up

our Enhanced Defense
Cooperation Agreement.

JACKSON: Fantastic.DALTON: Thank you, General.

Sir.

Okay, wait, let's take a breath.

Kicking the U.S. military

out of a country
doesn't happen in an afternoon.

I think if

I apologize to Andrada,

suggest that he...
caught me by surprise

and I acted on instinct...

[door opens]

I can grovel.

I'm a decent groveler.

And things were going so well
up until I broke his nose.

JACKSON: Not a sentence
you hear every day.

Blake, what is it?

Uh, President Andrada
wants us to leave.

Yeah, I-I know. We're working
to resolve that right now.

No, no. Us. You and me.[officer shouts]

He sent the military police to
kick us out of the Philippines

right now.

You sure you're okay?Yeah.

Yeah, should've seen
the other guy.

I did. Andrada's been posting
all these photos of himself

with his nose splint
and his black eyes.

Really?

Thought he'd be embarrassed
and lay low.

Oh, no.

He's very proud of the fact
that he got his nose broken

at the gym
by his sparring partner.

Guy named Cobra.

You're gonna start calling me
Cobra now, aren't you?

As soon as it's funny.

Well, that cover story
works for me.

He doesn't want to admit
he got beat up by a girl.

I'm not excited for
a headline that says

I clobbered a world leader

instead of saving
a major regional agreement.

Is there any point
in even asking

what the guy was thinking?

When he tried to grope me
or when he ordered

the U.S. military
out of the Philippines?

He is a psycho.

What about you?

You... you hear anything
from the dead drop?

I just wish we had more time.

Well, I'm familiar
with that feeling.

But right now,

I have to shower and get back
into the fight, so...

DAISY: President Andrada
even trotted out some flunky

who agreed to play
his sparring partner.

The guy took it a step further

by making himself up to
look even more pummeled.

Unless Andrada actually let him
kick him in the face.

MATT: So when are we
gonna make a statement

about what really happened?

If by "we," do you mean
the secretary?

Why don't you ask her?

Ask me what?

If you're gonna tell
the real story to the press.

The real story is
that the Singapore Interchange,

which we've fought for
and nurtured

for months,
is now on hold,

and the future looks hopeless.

Ma'am, I hope
you're not blaming yourself.

Of course I am.

It's my job
to keep those talks alive.

But Andrada
sexually assaulted you.

How are you supposed
to turn that into

a diplomatic discussion?

I realize
it's your call,

ma'am, but I feel like
we're covering up for him.

I just think it's wrong

that the world doesn't know
what he tried to do to you.

With no witnesses,
it'd be his word against mine.

I think we've all seen
how that turns out.

Plus, the accusation comes
from the very country

that Andrada is working hard
to demonize,

so his nationalistic
message

might actually
gain moresupport.

NADINE: If we break our
alliance with the Philippines

because of the whims
of their would-be despot,

we would leave
the Filipino people vulnerable

to Chinese expansion,
which could jeopardize

the lives and civil liberties
of millions.

Madam Secretary, may
I have a quick word?

Sure. My office.

Garcia was reviewing
the department's

approved arms sales
from the last year.

Makes sense, since he was
in counter-proliferation.

It's all the usual
rubber-stamping

except for one thing.

He made a number of phone calls
to a state-owned air field

in Egypt,

and sent follow-up requests
wanting to know

how much fuel was sold
to American cargo planes

carrying
State Department-approved

weapons shipments
from the U.S. to Somalia.

Did he get an answer?

The Egyptian government
was stalling him.

If you want me
to look further into it,

I have a friend from grad school
who's a travel advisor

to the Egyptian
government.

Somebody you trust?

I'll be discreet.

Okay, do that. I'm
gonna get the manifests

for the cargo being
shipped on those flights.

[knocking]

It's the White House.
They need you A.S.A.P.

That's probably not
a welcome home party.

WARE:
We intercepted

signals intelligence
from the Filipino government

to the Chinese,

outlining the sharing
of disputed islands.

Which islands?

The Scarborough Shoal.

A key element of the
Singapore Interchange

was the agreement that China
would not unilaterally

claim sovereignty
over the Scarborough Shoal

and would respect other
countries' access to the area.

Plus, the Scarborough Shoal
is closest to the Philippines.

They have the strongest
sovereignty claim.

BECKER: This is looking like
the Philippines is not making

a bid to stand on its own
but actually pivoting to China.

Which would be a disaster
for the balance of power

in Southeast Asia.

This can't be something

the rest of the Filipino
government really wants.

China's disapproval rating
there is 65%.

Hell, we almost ended up
in a war with China

defending these passageways
for our allies,

including the Philippines.

Now Andrada's
just giving it all away?

BECKER:
The Filipino people

rolled the dice
on a... erratic,

self-obsessed strongman.

Now they're paying the price.

The irony being that,

just like any other
so-called strongman,

he isn't strong at all.

He's just insecure and weak,
without any good policy ideas,

so he has to bully
his way into power

and force himself
on women

to feel powerful...

I'm guessing this isn't just
you working things out, Bess.

Andrada can't be liked by people

who actually know him,
not even his inner circle.

We should reach out
to his advisors.

There have to be some who
aren't happy with this change.

BECKER:
That's a start.

But if I might suggest
something more aggressive.

We have a good enough
relationship

with their military
to reach out in confidence.

It's a moderate transgression
of protocol,

but I think
it's worth the risk.

Let's contact their
military's chief of staff.

BECKER:
Yes, sir.

[door opens]

MO:
Hot off the presses.

Did they authenticate
Ian's handwriting?

Perfect match.

We even got photo confirmation
of him making the drop.

Took him long enough, huh?

He wants to meet tomorrow.

I'll go.

Of course.

It's good news. What is it?

I screwed up, man.

If we went ahead with that raid,
I could've gotten Ian killed.

You're in good company.

Ultimately, it was
the director's call.

Go easy on yourself.

[sighs]

Let's go over
the meeting protocol.

Yeah, let's do it.

I can assure you that
President Andrada's decision

to pivot away
from the United States

is not one that is
shared by our military.

I appreciate that, General.

Can you give us
any insight into

President Andrada's
fascination with China?

Only that he seems

unshakable
in this new friendship.

And, unfortunately,
he has unilateral powers

to destroy the Enhanced Defense
Cooperation Agreement

between our two countries.

General, is there a
cabinet member or...

trusted advisor
who can convince him

that China will not operate in
the Philippines' best interest?

I can assure you,
Madam Secretary,

that all avenues
have been explored.

My colleagues and I have serious

security concerns
with China's gain in power.

It is our feeling that we are
at a critical juncture,

one that requires
critical action.

If I may speak candidly,
Mr. President,

assuming we are all relying
on each other's discretion

and confidentiality.

Go ahead, General.

We have good reason

to believe that
newly elected Vice President

Thea Navarro does not share
President Andrada's desire

for Chinese friendship.

Should something happen
to the president,

we have been assured that,
with President Navarro,

we could all go back
to our valued relationship

and an alignment of power

that would keep peace
and security.

We have a plan in place,
but it can only be carried out

with the full support
of the United States.

We will have to talk

and get back to you,
General Purisima.

Of course.

We will wait to hear.

ELIZABETH: Just to confirm
we all heard the same thing,

that was a clear offer
for a covert assassination.

Well... that's one
way to skin a cat.

Okay.

I know we're not really
having this conversation,

but if we were,
getting rid of Andrada

is certainly
the cleanest solution

to all our problems.

Stopping an alliance
that would give China

a stranglehold
on the Asia Pacific,

potentially leading
to military conflicts,

costing thousands,
maybe millions of lives.

Worse things
have been perpetrated

in the name of keeping
the balance of power.

Again, if this were
a real discussion.

Cozying up to China
could mean Andrada might

lean toward a progressively
less democratic government,

and who knows
what kind of autocratic

abuses of power
he'll carry out next?

All we would have to do
is let nature take its course.

The lion eats the wildebeest...

and we just sit at home,

watch it all on
the nature channel.

Unless their military decides
that they should be in power.

Then I don't know
what the Filipino people

will have, but it
won't be a democracy.

I mean, not to mention

this could destroy
our credibility. I...

The risk of exposure is limited
to the people in this room.

I-I don't think that's
a serious consideration.

Yeah, well, famous last words.

ELIZABETH:
Sir, are we done

saying the unthinkable?

We need to walk away
from this option.

Let's use our vast
intelligence resources

and find some skeletons
in his closet.

Considering
Andrada's character

and behavior,
maybe if we dig deeper

we'll find something
to leverage him with.

What, petty bribes,
girlfriends, coarse rhetoric?

His voters knew about
all of it.

No one cared.

I agree it's a
long shot, but...

isn't anything
worth trying

before turning a blind
eye to assassination?

[Dendera laughs]

Oh, and here she is
in her little snowsuit.

Oh...

She just kept falling over
and laughing.

Just endlessly amused.

Is she talking?

Constantly. Some
full sentences.

I know every father

probably feels this way, but...
I think she's gifted.

Well, why wouldn't she be?
Look at her parents.

How is Abby?

She's okay.

She's, uh...

We're going through a bad time.

Separated.

I think it's gonna
work out, but, uh...

it's-it's rough
right now.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, how about you?

Oh, the usual.

All work, no play.

I swear I'm gonna get
a social life any minute now.

It's just-- I've been meaning
to do that for about 15 years.

Just to be clear,
this isn't us doing that, right?

What, you mean a-a date?

No, no. I-- No.

It's not the craziest idea
in the world.

We flirted back in school.

Sorry, I didn't
mean it like that.

I just, uh...

I, uh, I'm still
very married.

And I can't even wrap my head
around the... other thing.

Okay. But I distinctly
get the feeling that

we're not just here to catch
each other up on our sad lives.

Well, I haven't even told you
about the small apartment

with a futon, crib and a bottle
of vodka in the freezer.

No, I'm-- I need
some information.

Happy to help out a guy with
a futon and a bottle of vodka.

HAYMOND:
So, besides the bribes

and double sets of
books that came out

during the election,
the only new information

we found on Andrada
is from hacking his computer.

We retrieved some
e-mails that led

to five confidentiality
agreements

that were tied to
some pretty large checks--

over $100,000 each--

all to female former employees,
all paid from

Andrada's
private accounts.

Yeah, well, hush money is not
exactly a startling revelation.

It's certainly in keeping
with a man who's had mistresses

and is about to run
for public office.

ELIZABETH:
Given his conduct with me,

he could be covering
up something worse.

DALTON:
That's true.

And the Philippines is a
predominantly Catholic country.

They might still frown

on a president
who sexually harasses women.

Well, we might as well
track these women down,

try and find out
what happened.

JACKSON: They didn't
come forward before this,

why would they now?

Especially after
getting paid off.

I'm just asking.

Strength in numbers.

If they know
they're not alone,

they may feel freer to speak.

Plenty of religious,

socially conservative countries
still manage

to turn a
blind eye towards

the sexual indiscretions
of powerful men.

Sexual assault isn't
an indiscretion, Russell.

It's a crime.

I'm sorry. Of course.

I think it's worth a try.

You don't know
how glad I am to see you.

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

Wiseass, the camera stopped
working when they dunked you.

Oh.
Yeah.

So much for fancy new tech.

Well, you haven't missed much.

I blacked out after they
basically drowned me.

Called it my rebirth
when I woke back up.

Since then, it's been
a starvation diet

with no protein, long
indoctrination sessions,

and sleep deprivation--
rinse and repeat.

Sounds like your basic
mind control regimen.

Yeah, like we expected.
So, all good.

Listen, if it's too much, you
let me know. We'll pull you out.

I'm fine, man.

But I'm on a
quick supply run.

Don't want anybody asking
what took me so long.

Okay. Did you get a look
at the bomb?

No, But there's a shed
behind the barracks.

Heavy security 24/7.

They don't let any of the
new recruits back there.

I made a map of the
compound. That's the shed.

It'd be pretty hard
for a team to penetrate.

Maybe we can
create a distraction,

you can get a look.

Yeah, that could work.

All right.
Give us a little time.

Day after tomorrow, 0100 hours.

Yeah. Sounds like a plan.

[engine starts]

NADINE:
Our embassy in Manila

was able to track down
all of the women

to whom who President Andrada

made payments, and they all
agreed to be interviewed.

Good.

All five of them
admitted to being paid off

by Andrada
for unwanted sexual contact,

but none of them
are willing to come forward

and publicly accuse him.

They know about
each other, right?

That they won't be alone
in their accusations?

Yes, ma'am.

But this situation
goes far beyond

the usual problems
of embarrassment

or misplaced sense
of culpability.

I have no doubt
that their lives

and the lives of their families
have been threatened.

So I guess...

this idea's played out.

Well, ma'am,

if I may suggest
one other option.

And I do so knowing

just how far over the line
I might be stepping.

You think that
I should come forward

about what happened to me.

Yes, ma'am, I do.

And I know it is not
an easy decision.

But your credibility
is beyond reproach.

And the whole world
would be watching.

Someone of your stature

calling out Andrada
on this behavior could give

all of the women the courage
and security to come forward.

Is that all, Nadine?

Yes, ma'am.

Good night.

Is that a new pillow?

Babe, when was
the last time

I snuck new pillows
into the house?

I'm just saying.

We have so many already,
and I only sleep with one, so...

We've already
had this discussion before,

and I was
on the anti-pillow side.

You said it made things
look soft.

And I said,
"What cares if they look soft?

You got enough pillows,
y-you're gonna be fine."

Then you said,
"If they don't..."All right, all right.

All right. It just
seems so frivolous

to have all these pillows.

You want to tell me.

I'm working up to it.

Nadine thinks
that I should go public

with what Andrada did to me.

She thinks it might help
the other women he harassed.

I think it's entirely
your decision.

I'm not just any woman
in this situation,

I'm also the secretary of state.

And there's a lot

riding on our relationship
with the Philippines.

I have to be

responsible to that.

That's the whole problem,
isn't it?

We tell ourselves
to suck it up,

just this once.

Be better for everyone.

Like now-- I'm thinking
about the bigger picture.

But just saying that,

aren't I marginalizing
women's right to not be harassed

and not be assaulted?

When does that get to be
the bigger picture?

It's still just my
decision, isn't it?

Yes.

It is.

Okay.

[sighs]

I can't do it.
I need another pillow.

You?

ELIZABETH:
What's up?

I got it. My friend got me
the refueling information

Garcia was waiting for.

It's from Luxor Airport
in Egypt.

Great. I've got the manifests
of those flights.

Let's take a look.

The Boeing 777 cargo plane
has a range of 4,000 miles

with a full load.

Somalia's just over
7,000 miles.

They refueled in Spain.

So why'd they stop again
in Egypt?

I can't give you
a logical reason.

Well, there's-there's no report
of any weather problems.

The only reason why
you'd stop to refuel is...

because you're
out of fuel.

Looking at the manifests,

the planes didn't have
particularly heavy loads.

What if the planes
were carrying more cargo

than these manifests
say they were?

And you're showing me this
because...?

They were headed for Somalia.

Weapons do get
shipped there, yes.

Where Joseph Garcia
was stationed.

Because the CIA

sent him there. I told you,

Elizabeth, we've got this
investigation covered.

There's all sorts of reasons
why a plane would make

an unscheduled
landing in Egypt.

For all we know,
the crew was making

a-a pit stop to visit
their favorite hookah bar.

Refueling records from
Luxor Airport

for the flights in question
show they were running on empty.

They never would've
made it to Somalia.

How'd you get this?The point is

that Agent Garcia knew
that there was a cover-up

of arms smuggling.

Whoever's part of it
probably had him killed.

There are over
300 people

in the State Department
who have access

to our arms sales approvals

who could have falsified
those records.

You want to solve this,

you're gonna need my help.

[sighs]

I know you and the secretary
are investigating Kevin's death.

Or Joseph.

Or whoever he was.Daisy...

And I know you can't tell me
anything about it.

I just need to know
one thing about him.

Nothing classified.
Just one thing that's true.

Okay.

He had a nephew who
was named after him.

His sister's son.
Four years old.

I guess he might have
been his godfather.

Anyway, the kid
was born deaf,

and Joseph paid for
cochlear implants.

[elevator bell dings]

Nadine, I know
we need to talk.

Yes, ma'am.

Look, I appreciate
your suggestion

about coming forward...
with charges against Andrada.

And I can appreciate why
you think that's a good idea.

But I can't do it.
The timing's not right.

I know it seems
like a cop-out...

Forgive me for
interrupting, ma'am,

but one of the five women
that our employees spoke with

in the Philippines has traveled
to the United States to see you.

She's in your
office now.

I was the executive assistant

for Mr. Andrada's supermarkets
for seven years.

I saw many
things happen

with the female employees
while I was there.

Some received
money and left.

Some never spoke about it
and stayed.

I myself was...

was never sexually harassed.

I'm afraid there was
some kind of miscommunication.

No.

I-I did receive
a payment from Mr. Andrada,

and I told your embassy
employee that it was

hush money for unwanted
sexual advances.

But the truth is

the payment that I received was

to keep quiet
about something else.

Something much bigger,

more damaging.

I will tell you the truth, Madam
Secretary, on one condition.

Which is what?

You must grant me asylum
here in the United States.

I won't be able to go back home
after I tell you.

President Andrada, hello.

Yes, what is it?

You are a man
of many surprises.

That is how I keep my enemies
off-balance.

Yeah. Your friends, too.

In fact, just today President
Dalton learned something

about you that he found
surprising in the extreme.

What is it?

I'm sorry,
where are my manners?

How's the nose?

Is that a-a new splint?

I do not have time
for these games.

No, I know you like
to cut right to the chase.

So here it is.

You've taken tens

of millions of dollars in secret
payments from Chinese companies.

We have the proof,
and we intend to share it

with the Filipino people.

[laughs]

I am a millionaire
many times over.

My people will never believe it.

We'll find out soon enough.

These are exactly
the kind of American lies

the Filipino people
will never accept.

Let me stop you

right there.

You don't have to give me
a speech.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe the Filipino people
will be fine with you

selling them out to China
to enrich yourself.

Hell, maybe the courts
will be, too.

I will not be humiliated by you.

You won't be.

In fact, I have quite
the opposite in mind.

You'll share a press conference
at the White House

with President Dalton,

as befits the leader
of such an...

...important and venerable ally.

Lastly, I am pleased
to stand before you

to reaffirm
our commitment

to the Enhanced Defense
Cooperation Agreement

between our two countries.

Thank you.

May God bless the Philippines.

And God bless America.

[cameras clicking]

[reporters clamoring]

Damn fool has no idea
we saved his life.

REPORTER:
President Andrada,

can you show us
some kickboxing moves?

JACKSON: If I'd have
been in your shoes,

I'd have voted yes
on the coup.

ELIZABETH:
Well, they tend

not to work out for us

in the long run.

But I'll admit,

the idea had its charms.

Well, that's done.

Thanks, Bess.

My pleasure, sir.

I don't think
Andrada's too happy

to give that money back
to the Chinese.

Andrada will always be
a wild card.

We'll see
if he's worth the cost.

Look at him.

God, sometimes
democracy just... blows.

Hey, good title for your memoir.

Elizabeth.

Great speech.

The press at home is already
talking about how brilliantly

I played China and the U.S.
off one another

to our advantage.

Which was my plan all along.

Sure. Good for you.

I'll see you
in Singapore in a month.

So now we are even.

Who, you and I?

You know,

I-I'm actually glad
that you brought that up.

No, we're not even.

But when I determine
the time is right,

I will tell the world
what you tried to do to me.

[whispers]:
And what I did to you.

And then...

well, then maybe
we'll be even.

But if I hear
about you "sparring"

with any other
unwilling partners,

that time will come
sooner rather than later.

Oh, and, Datu,

when we do see each other
in Singapore,

you call me Madam Secretary.
