Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

This is a dangerous moment.

And our goal has to be

to create a lasting peace for both countries.

There is nothing about your father's nuclear program.

That's why we brought you in here.

He's not developing nuclear weapons.

He already has them.

You will find in the new agreement

that you will be responsible for dismantling the missiles.

If you fail to comply,

my country will see that as a declaration of war.

EMILY: Thank you for coming in, Simon.

You have been reporting confidential information.

It's called journalism.

I need the phone records on a reporter named Simon Day.

I don't want you going through a phone company.

- Or leaving a trail. - But I need a warrant...

This is a time-sensitive issue, Chuck.

This intel is reliable?

The chatter started right after the treaty was signed.

So somewhere here in the U. S., there's a dirty bomb?

- Yes, sir. - Then we damn well better find it.

♪ ♪

Mr. President...

Chairman Kim, I'm going to talk

and you're going to listen.

Since we last spoke, we've gotten credible information

that there's a dirty bomb on U. S. soil.

Chatter we've been monitoring about missing nuclear waste

that's made its way to U. S. shores.

We believe that waste was used to make the bomb.

And what does that have to do with me?

The time stamp on the intelligence pertaining

to the bomb coincides precisely with the execution

of your treaty with West Hun Chiu.

A treaty that you publicly criticized

before the ink was even dry.

Yes, because it was the result of naked American coercion.

But my country honors its international agreements.

Yes, and now that the chairman has given his word,

he considers this unfounded accusation to be a grave insult,

both to him and to his country.

Mr. Chairman, when we trace this bomb back to East Hun Chiu,

an insult is going to be the least of your concerns.

Fabricated intelligence.

Threats.

I think I've had enough of this "American hospitality".

Unfortunately, your departing flight

has been delayed indefinitely.

On what grounds?

Safety.

Once the threat has been neutralized

and you are no longer at risk,

you and your delegation are free to go.

But until then, your security is of paramount importance to us.

Secret Service will escort you back to your cars.

[SPEAKING EAST HUN CHIUESE]

♪ ♪

Think he's lying?

It's hard to say, sir. Lying is his resting position.

And forcing him to stay at least reduces the risk

that he detonates anything while he's here.

Reduces, but it doesn't eliminate.

I mean, the bomb could be anywhere.

When it explodes, we'll have no way

to conclusively tie him to it.

Okay If it explodes, sir.

Sir, Director Foerstel's here.

Aaron.

[DOOR OPENS]

Sir, about the First Lady.

I want to express my condolences.

I deeply regret...

Mr. Director, what've you got for me?

The principle concern is terror.

A dirty bomb's designed to maximize that

by using conventional explosives to disperse nuclear waste.

Somehow, knowing that we're not dealing with a live nuke

isn't making me feel any better. What's the blast radius?

It depends on the ordnance.

Several square blocks in the heart

of a major American city could have to be

cordoned off for the foreseeable future.

I don't think I need to tell you what an unprecedented

- catastrophe that would be. - No, sir.

So, we've deployed every asset at our disposal to stop it.

I checked with the NRC about spent domestic fissile material.

Not a microgram is unaccounted for.

Which means that any radioactive waste

would likely be of foreign origin.

AARON: The airport security is too tight.

There's no way a package like that would get across DHS.

Which means we need to be looking at harbors.

Our West Coast is our closest port of entry to Asia.

But sanctions restrict trade with East Hun Chiu

to medical aid and foodstuffs.

Now, all of that trade is monitored,

and it happens in three places...

Port of Charleston,

Port of New York, Baltimore Harbor.

So, we can narrow the search grid to the eastern seaboard.

Yes, sir. Now, I know time is of the essence.

We could really use some assistance

from the private sector with data mining.

We anticipated that for you. Where's Dr. Frost set up?

Because he's not suicidal.

BLAKEY: But he is homicidal.

Isn't that why you wanted sanctuary?

Yes.

And he hates this treaty.

But enough to attack America and plunge East Hun Chiu

into a war he can't win?

that he wouldn't get caught.

Attacking America does not make that more likely.

Well, we've got a lead, thanks to Andrea Frost.

LYRA?

Frost ascertained that spent nuclear fuel

has gone missing in Slovakia.

She tracked a Bratislavan container ship

to Baltimore Harbor yesterday containing cesium.

- Nuclear waste. - Wait a minute.

We've narrowed down the dirty bomb to the D. C. metro area?

It gets worse. I talked to the harbor master.

The container ships on the vessel are adjacent to...

East Hun Chiu shipping containers...

East Hun Chiu could've off-loaded the material

to its own container after the Bratislavan container

- was already inspected. - [THUD]

Hannah!

No, but I went to my desk to check my e-mail.

You follow that. I'm going with him to the hospital.

We might. The problem is the evidence.

Mr. President.

I only have a minute.

I understand.

I'll be brief.

I want to apologize, sir.

Apologize for what?

Everything.

[SIGHS]

Mr. Director, at any time, did you behave in a manner

that you thought was inconsistent

with what you thought was best for this country?

No, sir.

And during your investigation,

did you honestly believe you were following

a thread of wrongdoing that led to the White House?

Yes, sir.

Then you have nothing to apologize for.

You were doing your job. You did your best.

My past put me in conflict with my Commander in Chief.

Come hell or high water.

Both of our jobs have similar requirements.

And I expect you to continue doing yours.

Yes, sir.

The press is monitoring my guys, watching them work.

I should get back there and fly the flag.

Reassure the public.

Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

[SIGHS]

The press has tripped to our Moss investigation.

How the hell did that happen?

Well, at this point, it doesn't matter.

- We need a response. - I agree.

But there's a more important matter to attend to, sir.

We found a bomb that was radioactive.

We diffused it.

Seth did a good job of downplaying it,

but the public is still on edge.

Should I address the nation?

No, sir. They don't need to hear you.

They need to see you out and about,

reassuring them.

Let's do it.

Thank you for doing this.

It's one thing for people to see the president stepping out,

but with a prominent person such as yourself, well,

that's a whole other thing.

No problem. I'm a sucker for a free lunch.

Well, I guess I'll have a hot dog. How about you?

May I?

Sure.

Two original half-smokes, two chili bowls,

a side of sweet potato fries with cheese,

We got video of Rojas at a Grub 'n Go

in Alexandria yesterday morning.

But not after?

Uh, guys?

We know he left his van at Brandt station.

D.C. Metro video doesn't show him getting on the subway.

- Guys... - Could of have had

a confederate pick him up...

- Guys... - after he dumped the van. Or hailed a taxi.

I checked with the ride-sharing service.

He doesn't have an account.

Guys!

Sorry.

I was able to hack in to the van's GPS.

I thought the GPS was off.

It was. But this GPS records the car's movements.

[MONITOR BEEPS]

- Spyware. - Yeah.

A lot of rental companies are using it to prevent car theft.

All I had to do was hack into it.

Look, Rojas made multiple stops at one location

before abandoning the van at the Metro.

2263 Briarview. Northeast.

An industrial facility in Eckington.

Nice job.

Suck it, LYRA.

My fellow Americans, today at 7:43 p. m.,

a dirty bomb was detonated at the Brandt Metro station

in our nation's capital.

Because of the heroic work of the FBI,

the Department of Homeland Security,

and the Capitol Police,

there were no civilian causalities.

And while the Brandt Metro station will be closed

for the foreseeable future,

radioactive waste did not escape,

and there is no ongoing danger to the public.

But it is with a heavy heart that I inform you

that six federal agents gave their lives to protect us

from this terrible attack,

including John Foerstal, the director of the FBI.

I make a solemn promise to their families

and the American people

that their sacrifices will not be in vain.

We will hunt down

the perpetrators of this terrorist attack

and bring them to justice.

Swiftly. And without mercy.

God bless you.

And God bless these United States of America.

[DOOR CLOSES]

TOM: Kunami?

We tracked payments to Arturo Rojas

from a Kunami government account.

We found evidence he visited the Baltimore Harbor

and spiked that Hun Chiu shipping container with cesium.

The warehouse Joon Kim was found in

was rented by a Kunami government shell company,

just like the storage unit Rojas was using.

Wait a second, you're saying that Kunami

set up Chairman Kim's son?

Everything points to that, sir.

His girlfriend was found tied up in an abandoned apartment...

Which was rented by a Kunami government shell company.

Tell the Kunami ambassador

he's got 15 minutes to get over here.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ambassador, you've got exactly five minutes

to explain yourself.

When your time is up, you, sir,

will have decided the fate of your country.

The first explanation owed is to me.

What is this about?

We have irrefutable evidence that your country

was behind the bombing that just killed six Americans,

six federal agents.

That is an outrageous allegation.

Bank transfers from Kunami state accounts to the bomber.

Titles to facilities in the name of a corporation

that traces back to Kunami state actors.

- Fabrications. - No, sir! Try again.

Mr. President, why would my government do this?

The same reason your government does anything... money.

$16 billion in black market weapons illegally smuggled

into East Hun Chiu this year alone.

An income at jeopardy if the Hun Chius are at peace,

which is why you want them at war.

And so you try to make it look East Hun Chiu was sabotaging

the peace deal by attacking the country that brokered it.

You're right. $16 billion is a lot of money.

But not enough for the Emir

to risk war against the United States!

You've already risked war with the United States.

Or have you forgotten about the U.S.S. Verona?

A diplomatic misunderstanding. You got your sailors back.

At the point of a spear. Your country had no choice.

Mr. President, I know relations between our countries

have been strained.

And we have a lot of differences,

but I swear to you we did not do this.

Then explain the evidence that you've been confronted with.

Now.

I can't.

Not yet, but if you give me time...

I'm sorry, Mr. Ambassador, but you are out of time.

And so is your Emir. Goodbye.

We don't need a consensus. We were attacked.

Yes, sir, but moving without advising our allies...

Does anyone in this room deny the fact that as a nation,

- we have the right to defend ourselves? - No, sir.

Then I don't see the value of getting bogged down

in diplomatic discussions.

Sir, at a minimum,

we should reach out to congressional leadership.

Why? What good would that do?

More meetings? Further delays?

And an insistence on building a coalition.

Mr. President, Lyor's right. There's a protocol here.

We were attacked!

The protocol is strike back.

Correct, sir. The question is how and when we retaliate.

After the Capitol was bombed, it took 18 months

to find Patrick Lloyd.

18 months where the dead had no justice

because we didn't know where the perpetrator was.

We know where the Emir is.

Sitting in his palace, taunting us.

If I balk now and fail to strike,
