All language subtitles for Designated.Survivor.S02E20.HDTV.x264-SVA

Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

But your claim that
Andrea Frost is responsible

for all these hackings and murder.

This conclusion is a product

of months of painstaking work.

Dax, I asked you here because I think

you're an excellent judge of character.

Dr. Andrea Frost.

Do you think she's capable of sabotage?

You don't get to be the
first female tech billionaire

without a ruthless streak.

You are not just a saboteur, Dr. Frost.

You are a murderer.

If you ever slander me in public again,

I promise you this will be your last act

working for the
government or anyone else.

Your actions constitute
rank insubordination,

which I cannot accept.

Mr. President...

Agent Wells, you've been terminated

effective immediately.

Senator, good to see you.

Thank you very much for coming.

- Hello, Mr. President.
- Hi.

Emily, remind me again
exactly what we're doing here?

The White House equinox reception

is a rite of passage, sir.

We're celebrating renewal.

What exactly are we renewing?

Our fiscal bonds, sir.

The Beltway's biggest donors are here.

People who will donate liberally

to your most cherished causes.

Mr. President, the
Bultani ambassador's here.

Okay, thank you, Aaron. Excuse us.

Ah, Mr. President, the people
of Bultan wish you a very...

Mr. Ambassador, why don't we dispense

with the pleasantries
and get to the point?

Matthew Jennings needs
to be released from jail

and allowed to come home now.

Young man committed a crime.

Yes, he has.

He drew a smiley face on
the side of a building.

Mr. Ambassador, he's a teenager

who is now facing 10 years in prison.

My country takes enforcement
of its laws very seriously.

You and I both know
this has nothing to do

with your laws and everything
to do with the Pulu Islands.

A territory our countries
share sovereignty over.

Which means that the exploitation
of the oil reserves...

Is subject to bilateral approval.

Which we're not going to give.

So now you're using an innocent teenager

as some kind of leverage.

Mr. Ambassador, we're not going to allow

the desecration of one of the
last pristine places on Earth.

Not desecration, Mr. President.

Exploration.

And not innocent,

but guilty, as a Bultani court found.

The trial lasted less than 15 minutes.

Well, our justice
system is very efficient.

Which is why sentence will be
passed as early as tomorrow.

Gentlemen, selamat malam.

Emily Rhodes, meet Steven Flannery,

- my first boss.
- It's a pleasure.

The pleasure is all mine.

I'm a big fan of your
work at the Zeno Institute.

Oh, thank you. We have
a lot of great lawyers.

Unfortunately, there aren't
many Kendras out there.

Or Steven Flannerys,

- which is why we wanted to talk to you.
- I'm sorry?

Cyrus Gladwell from the D.C. Circuit

passed away last week.

And his death leaves the
most important appellate court

in the land with an empty chair.

The President needs
someone whose brilliance

and moral clarity will lead the way.

Someone like you.

Uh, I-I'm flattered.

Uh, but I'm a teacher now, Kendra.

I'm... I'm an activist.

"We must meet the challenge,

rather than wish it were not before us."

Justice Brennan.

Yes.

You used to have that
inscription framed on your wall.

I still do.

Judges don't just shape our laws,

they shape our values.

I know you believe that

because you said it to me years ago.

The President believes it, too.

And he's asking you
to meet the challenge.

I may have been too good a mentor.

You're very persuasive.

So that's a yes?

If the President truly
wants me to serve,

I will.

That's Benjamin Harrelson.
CEO of ClimateKind.

Thank you. Benjamin, it's been too long.

Mr. President, it's an honor.

I trust that the shrimp
have been sustainably farmed

this year, unlike last?

I have to be honest, I haven't checked.

But I promise I'll get
someone to look in on it.

Try the hormone-free
cheese puffs. They're great.

Enjoy your night.

You throw a hell of a party
on the taxpayers' dime.

Mr. West, I don't recall
seeing you on the guest list.

I'm representing the
family of Matthew Jennings.

Since when?

Since I saw his poor mother
on the news last week.

I was moved.

- Oh, yeah, moved right into the spotlight.
- Lyor.

I'm doing this out of
concern for an innocent kid.

Please tell Ms. Jennings
we're doing everything we can

to bring her son home.

Yeah, it seems like you're
burning the midnight oil.

It's a little odd to have
the FBI pay me a visit,

Agent Wells.

Former FBI, actually.

The President just terminated me.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'd be happy to put you in
touch with my head of security

to see if we're hiring.

Oh, no, I'm not... I'm
not looking for a job.

I'm looking to protect the President.

The President who just fired you?

Yes.

Because I believe he's being misled

by a woman named Andrea Frost.

I think you know the name.

I do.

Have you shared your suspicions
with your former boss?

- It's why I don't have a job.
- Mm.

The President has a blind spot

where his friends are concerned.

An allegiance that sometimes
clouds his judgment.

Then what do you need from me?

Have lunch with her.

Why?

Her place is 43 minutes
from the Old Ebbitt Grill.

Which will give you time
to break into her house

to search for evidence.

Yeah, I can't be complicit with that.

I thought you were
loyal to the President.

I am, but I'd rather not be
an accomplice to a burglary.

There are other people
Dr. Frost would meet with.

Why'd you come to me?

Because they don't have

the President's best interests at heart.

Mr. President.

Mr. Ambassador, I'm not gonna
talk about the Pulu Islands

any further this evening.

There is no need, sir.

I appreciate the compromise.

Excuse me?

Agreeing on the offshore exploration

of the Pulu Islands allows our country

to share in billions of revenue.

I believe the Prime Minister is pleased

and your Mr. Jennings will soon be home.

Mr. Ambassador, who approached
you with this compromise?

Your emissary.

Mr. West, you do know that
misrepresenting yourself

as an agent of the U.S. government

is a federal crime?

I didn't do that.

So you're saying that
you did not promise

Ambassador Dhawan concessions

for the release of Matthew Jennings?

Absolutely not.

I might have implied that
you would consider a deal.

Well, that's a crime, too.

Not from where I sit. From where I sit,

Matthew Jennings is a
scared 17-year-old kid...

And you think I'm not aware of that?

You may not be aware that our
interests aren't exactly in line.

I'm sorry. I don't follow.

You have all kinds of things
you have to consider...

Politics, diplomacy.

I have one. That kid.
I want to get him home.

And you can put me in
jail if you want to.

I look good in orange.

I just spoke with the President,

and he wants us to
disabuse Ambassador Dhawan

of any notion of a quid pro quo. Now.

- Oh, there's gonna be a fallout.
- It doesn't matter.

Matthew Jennings' release
must be unconditional.

- Oh, my God!
- Call 911. Now.

There's no pulse.

Get me the President.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

This is absurd.

The Ambassador has a heart attack

and dies in the White House,

and the Bultani Prime
Minister is blaming us?

Well, yeah, they're using his death

for diplomatic advantage.

- You think?
- They might be able to do that for a while.

Preliminary indications are
Ambassador Dhawan was poisoned.

The M.E. is still examining the toxin.
- Are you serious?

An unsolved murder of a
Bultani diplomat on U.S. soil

is not gonna help bilateral relations.

Or Matthew Jennings.

His sentencing is today.

If this is true, it's on us
to find the murderer, Mike.

- Yes, sir.
- Emily.

I'm in touch with Matthew
Jennings' mother, Kristin.

Okay, good. I want to talk
to her. Let's get to it.

We're sitting on a
diplomatic powder keg.

So we need to keep this in-house, Mike.

I spoke to D.C. Metro.

They'll defer to us
unless we send up a flare.

Understood.

You're gonna need a
running buddy on this.

Someone from the FBI.

I got just the guy in mind.

You just said, "I wish you lentils."

Oh.

I meant, "I wish you justice."

We know that matters
to the Bultani people.

That's what we're trying
to get for your friend,

the late Ambassador Dhawan.

There were no threats.

At least, not at the embassy.

But Dhawan was hardly ever there.

Where was he?

At his horse farm in Potomac.

The ambassador lived a lavish lifestyle

unbecoming of a diplomat.

How lavish?

He liked money.

And he had a talent for losing it.

Matthew was in Bultan
on a music exchange.

He plays the trumpet.

Ms. Jennings, Matthew made a mistake.

But what they're threatening
him with is unacceptable.

Exactly, which is why we got to
get him out of there soon as we can.

I've made a personal plea
to the Prime Minister.

What did he say?

He said he would consider it.

But unfortunately, right now,

tensions are high between
both our countries.

In the meantime, sir,

is there anything we can offer them

to grease the wheels
of Matthew's release?

Negotiations for the return of
U.S. citizens are classified.

I can't elaborate on that any further.

My son is my best
friend. He's all I've got.

Ms. Jennings, I care
more about my children

than anything in the world.

I can only imagine what
you're going through.

But you're gonna have to trust me.

I promise you.

I give you my word.

We are gonna do absolutely
everything we can

to bring your son home.

The President is committed

to bringing Matthew Jennings home.

Is his release tied
to the unsolved murder

- of the Bultani ambassador?
- No.

- Is it tied to the Pulu Islands?
- No.

Because I have it on
authority from Ethan West

that if the U.S. softens its
stance on oil exploration...

Ethan West has no authority,

and the President will
not be held to ransom.

Maybe too late for ransom anyway.

Bultan just sentenced the
kid to 20 years hard labor.

20 years hard labor?
You can't be serious.

I'm sorry you are
disappointed with the sentence.

We were disappointed in the crime.

But perhaps we can
reach an accommodation.

Mr. Prime Minister, I
will not allow this nation

to be extorted.

It's not about extortion.

It's about a mutual benefit.

A protected habitat...

That could yield billions.

That may not mean much to you.

But Bultan is drowning in debt.

Matthew Jennings is not the
solution to your problems.

No, sir.

Oil is.

I can help the young man,

if you help me.

The prison he's being sent to...

I wouldn't wish him
to spend one day there.

I would like to talk to him first,

see how he's been treated.

I will arrange it.

Sir, if we give in to blackmail,
we set a bad precedent.

Respectfully, sir, all
to get one kid back?

Matthew Jennings won't
survive 20 days in that prison,

let alone 20 years.

If there's something
we can do to help him,

we're damn well gonna do it.

Some spread.

The Ambassador clearly
liked the good life.

It's a beautiful tree.

Well, not if you have allergies.

That thing must be a
nightmare in the summer.

Get it on the truck.

Secret Service. What are you doing?

Getting my money back.

Ambassador Dhawan was in hock to me

for about $2 million.

Which he invested in horses.

How long you been trying to collect?

About a year.

He was trying to sell
the farm, but he couldn't.

That's surprising. It's
a beautiful property.

I wonder what the problem is.

All I know is he's been
in debt for a couple years.

Now, if you don't mind, I
have to go convince someone

this tub of glue is Secretariat.

So, where are we on Flannery's vetting

for the judgeship?

Flannery's vetting file
is clean as a whistle.

Except for one blip.

A 2008 sexual discrimination suit

filed by a female associate.

Flannery and his then firm
were the named defendants.

But the case was
dismissed with prejudice

at the discovery phase.

So what's the problem?

The GOP. They control Judiciary.

And they will look for any excuse

to disqualify a progressive
icon like Flannery.

We need to get in front of this.

Huh.

The complainant is Kaitlin Corday.

I worked with her at the
Sentinel a few years ago.

Let me reach out, see if
she can give us the lowdown.

Hi. The reservation is under Minter.

How much time do we have?

The restaurant's reservation system

indicates Minter's party has checked in.

So you've got two hours.

The control box is on
the side of the house.

I'm in. Good news is
I've bypassed a door

that won't trip the alarm.

Okay. What's the bad news?

It's on the roof.

Hey, Chuck, I'm getting an EMF spike.

There's a lot of power
coming from this closet.

It's gotta be a false wall.

You're right.

I'm going in.

Watch yourself.

Copy that.

The EMF meter is off the charts.

This place is drawing more
power than a small city.

Chuck, I don't see any cameras.

I'm gonna link you in with my phone.

This looks like mission control at NASA.

Whoa.

So that's how the hacking's done.

Satellite telemetry.

How are they treating you, son?

Fine, sir.

I'm just sorry I'm causing
everyone so much trouble.

I know you are. You need to know

that we're doing
absolutely everything we can

to bring you home.

If you could, uh, just tell my mom

that I'm okay.

Of course I will.

Hopefully, you'll be
seeing her really soon.

Look, I... I know
they're blackmailing you.

And... And I don't want
to be used that way.

So, promise me you won't let them get...

Matthew. Matthew!

Son of a bitch.

Get me Prime Minister
Khallou immediately.

Mr. President, the papers

for the oil exploration
deal have been drawn up.

Secretary Krantz is
waiting for your approval.

Delay it.

Emily, get Secretary Krantz

to draw up sanctions against Bultan.

We're gonna raise the heat.

You were both right. So is this kid.

We're gonna find a way to bring
him home without rolling over.

I think I finally found the
access point to the main server.

Just get in there, Hannah.

Time's wasting.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

Okay, I'm in.

On the double, please.
Because this is burglary.

Digital theft.

Yeah, just watch my back.

They just paid the check,
meaning you have a half-hour.

Well, then you better get going.

Wait. I got something.

It's on a sub-server.

The Turing source code.

Our hacking proof.

I'm pulling up the relevant database,

but I can't copy it remotely.

Alright, I'm on it.

It's nice to hear from you,
Seth. It's been a long time.

Yep, since our days at the Sentinel.

And, uh, I'd love to catch up,

but I'm afraid this is,
um... This is all business.

We're considering Steven
Flannery for a position,

and I wanted to ask you about
the claim you filed against him.

It's all in the past.

Yes, but the past informs the present.

It was sexual discrimination?

Yes. Failure to promote.

I was passed over.

What was your relationship?

He was partner.

Asked me out right before my review.

I said no.

- And he retaliated.
- Well, not to my face,

but he was a big player
at Whitney Irvington.

The court said that you
couldn't state a claim.

He shouldn't have hit
on me. He was a partner.

- I wanted to be one.
- I understand.

I'm... I'm trying to ascertain
if he did anything else.

No. He was perfectly lovely.

Until the day I was shown the door.

So you had no proof.

Nope. And I wasn't gonna get
any from the old-boy's club.

It's the reason I left the
law and became a journalist.

Nobody keeps the real
story from me anymore.

Why are we even talking about this?

Kaitlin Corday is disgruntled

because she was passed
over. There's nothing there.

Well, except bad judgment
on Flannery's part.

Look, Flannery is a leading
light for women's rights...

Reproductive rights, equal pay.

And he's your rabbi.

I wouldn't vouch for him if I
didn't believe in his virtue.

No one's questioning
his virtues, Kendra.

We're talking about his vices.

Asking a co-worker out?

Alright, look, Kendra's got a point.

It sounds like there's nothing
here but an indiscretion.

Which shouldn't be reason
enough to torpedo him.

Agreed. I will float a trial
balloon about his candidacy.

Legal, media, political circles.

Good. No red flags come back,

we'll bring him to the President.

Great. Thank you.

Hannah, unless a meteor hits it,

the car's two minutes out.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

We have enough. Get out of there.

Do you know exactly where the
source code is on this database?

- No.
- Okay, then we're getting it all.

Subject is in the driveway.

Hannah, get out!

We got it. Go!

Subject entering house.

Hey, Emily. Do you have a second?

Sure.

Look, in the interest
of full disclosure,

I should let you know
that Flannery and I

had a brief... thing 10 years ago.

How brief?

It was one evening. We
were on a case in Boise.

I was a junior associate. He
was a newly minted partner.

We won big. Had a few French 75s.

And he invited me back to his room.

- Consensual?
- Absolutely.

We never even discussed it.

And he's had my back ever since.

And you kept a lid on this because...

I didn't want to seem biased. I'm not.

But in light of everything,

I didn't want to whitewash misconduct.

It doesn't sound like there's
any misconduct to whitewash.

No, he's... he's great. I just...

I don't know if I should
steer his candidacy.

I disagree.

You hooked the fish. You reel him in.

Emily, if I was...

If I was too defensive earlier...

You weren't.

You were being fair then,
and you're being fair now.

I pulled up Dhawan's financials.

His farm was worth enough
to cover his debt easy.

Then why couldn't he sell it?

He was in litigation with a
company called Royal Oak LLC.

Seemed to involve his house.

- I'm trying to get the filings.
- Good.

And I just got the full tox
screen back from the M.E.

Dhawan was poisoned with ricin,

which takes six to eight hours to kill.

Meaning he wasn't poisoned here.

Yep. So we got to find
out where Dhawan was

before he keeled over.

D.C. Circuit?

Yes. Assuming I'm
confirmed, I'll need interns,

and I think that you would be perfect.

Thanks.

She is a comer, that one.

Yeah.

The vetting's coming along nicely.

Still a few more T's
to cross and I's to dot,

but we're hoping to get
your name to the President

- by the end of the day.
- That's great.

You know, it took some time
to get my head around it,

but I think you're right...
I could do some real good

- from the bench.
- Yes, you can.

Stay close. We'll be in touch.

Oh, Sasha, can you please
show Mr. Flannery out?

Hey, Steve Flannery.

I know. Sasha Dixon. It's an honor.

Oh, thank you.

Hey. So we all buttoned up?

Just about.

Um, I want to double-check
something, though.

Could your people dig a little more

into Flannery for me?

They pulled everything on their record.

This wouldn't be on the record.

What are you hoping to find?

Nothing.

Mm-hmm.

You said you wanted to talk
to me about ClimateKind?

Yeah, but first we need
to show you something.

We retraced the ambassador's steps

over the last 24 hours.

That's Ambassador Dhawan
yesterday at a caf�.

And that's you swapping out his drink

and poisoning him.

Are you mad? That's not me.

Looks like your ring.

It's an Eastlake University ring.

A lot of people have the same one.

Yes, but not people involved
in protracted litigation

over the removal of a giant oak tree

that straddles the property line

between your house and
Ambassador Dhawan's.

What are you talking about?

The tree's root system destroyed
the ambassador's plumbing.

It's why he couldn't sell the house.

Unless he got the tree removed.

Your loan-out, Royal
Oak LLC, got injunctions,

until Dhawan finally got a court
order to take the tree down.

And with Bultan in the news,

you figured now was the time

to kill the ambassador, right?

Because there'd be multiple suspects.

But in the end, there was only one.

Your tree.

Your ring.

Your drink.

Your ass.

Thank you, Julie.

Where are we at with the kid?

Solving the murder of Ambassador Dhawan

relieved the pressure
on the Prime Minister.

Put him in a place
where we could negotiate.

- Okay, good.
- Yeah, except his office

just released a
statement saying he won't.

Why not? I thought we floated
a six-month jail sentence

in exchange for limited drilling rights.

- That's a nonstarter?
- It is,

because Ethan West is on a rampage.

CNN, MSNBC, Al Jazeera.

What the hell's he saying?

He's saying that the
Prime Minister is Stalin.

That, uh, you're in bed with the devil.

That both countries are corrupt.

Get the son of a bitch in
here. I need to talk to him.

Arrest him if you have to.

Unbelievable.

Mr. West, there is a difference

between an adversary and an enemy.

When you sabotaged my negotiation,

you crossed the line.

I was just trying to do what's
best for Matthew Jennings.

Well, thanks to you...
And your overreach...

He's now looking at 20 years.

I couldn't figure out
why you became involved

in this case in the first place,

so I had my people look into it.

They brought me this file.

Why didn't you tell me that
you knew the young man's aunt?

You went to college with Allie Jennings,

is that correct?

Yes.

And she was murdered in 1988.

Yes.

What does that have to do with you?

Everything.

I was supposed to meet
Allie that night for a drink.

But I-I...

I got sidetracked.

And I stood her up.

The file said she was
found stabbed to death

outside a bar.

At 2:00 in the morning.

Waiting for me.

Her sister didn't... didn't
know about the connection.

But I-I-I heard about the
case and I reached out.

So this is your effort to
make some kind of amends.

What happened to Kristin
Jennings' sister is my fault.

No, it isn't.

Yeah, it is.

And it's why I want to get her son back.

Not in a year. Not in six months.

Not in a week. Today.

Mr. West, all you're doing
right now is getting in the way.

If you want to help the Jennings,

you want to help that young man,

you need to work with me.

Another complaint?

Yes. One. For retaliatory dismissal.

It was settled out with a
confidentiality agreement.

But it can still come to light, right?

It's unlikely. This is subterranean.

It's core-of-the-earth stuff.

Judiciary will not trip to it.

Who was the complainant?

A 26-year-old paralegal
named Jane Quincy.

But two lawsuits and decades of practice

isn't disqualifying.

When you work in the legal profession,

the people you rub shoulders with

tend to be a little litigious.

Look, he'll sail through confirmation.

But it's your call.

I'll tell him.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey, Kendra.

I'm so sorry I couldn't
get back to the White House.

It's been a crazy day.

No problem.

- Please.
- Thanks.

So, I've been looking at
the D.C. Circuit's docket

for the upcoming calendar.

You're right... So many crucial cases.

And your drinks.

Oh, thank you.

I got you a French 75.

I haven't had one of these since...

Boise, right?

I thought this was a
night for celebration.

Mr. President, I will keep this short.

Mr. West has humiliated me.

Made me look like I'm colluding

with a country that
kills our ambassadors.

Well, he hasn't done
me many favors, either.

Sir, I need you to know I
had nothing to do with that.

It doesn't matter.

Because now we have a new deal.

Bultan gets unrestricted
exploration rights

on the Pulu Islands.

No profit sharing. And no sanctions.

And if I don't agree with that?

Matthew Jennings does 20 years.

I was afraid you were gonna say that.

I believe that Mr. West
has a different perspective

on the issue.

Hi, Mr. Prime Minister.

He has discovered something unusual

in the Pulu Island habitat.

You've destroyed it...

Strip-mining, dumping, air pollution.

Mr. West also happens
to be one of the world's

most renowned toxic-tort lawyers.

He plans to file suit
against your country

in every international tribunal.

I plan on making it my life's
mission to sue your country.

I think we're both aware of
what Mr. West is capable of.

This mission of his is
going to cost your country

billions and billions of dollars.

Don't just take his word for it.

Google me. Look at my verdicts.

Sir, I think you have
an opportunity here

to show the rest of the world
the depth of your compassion,

your humanity.

What do you want, Mr. President?

Mr. Jennings' freedom.

And the mining?

I'm afraid that's been
taken off the table.

But the United States government
will be more than happy

to pay for the damage
caused by the graffiti.

And in order for you to save face,

Mr. Jennings will wash the
graffiti off the wall himself

in front of cameras.

Now, if there's nothing else to discuss,

I believe our business is done.

Mr. President.

The FAA will contact you

as soon as his flight is in the air.

Then you can call his mother.

Mr. President, I-I
can't thank you enough

for helping me make this right.

Everyone deserves a
second chance, Mr. West.

How you doing?

Good.

Then bad.

Then good again.

I had to pull the offer, Em.

Did you give him a reason?

I said the GOP was playing hardball,

we didn't have the votes.

He was disappointed.

It was your call.

Yeah, and I'm not sure
it was the right one.

These two cases are ambiguous.

I-I saw Steven Flannery
today. On the make as usual.

And I just... It... It made me wonder

if, that time in Boise, I was coerced.

Were you?

At the time, I didn't think so.

Now I'm not so sure.

His approval meant so much to me.

It still does.

And I think he... He knows that and...

And he uses it, and
that is... manipulative

and... and wrong.

But he's also done so
much good, you know?

You're wondering if that cancels out...

By suspicions of a guy who
may be nothing but a flirt.

Sometimes all you have is your gut.

Good night, Kendra.

Mr. President.

Thank you, Mike.

Dax.

Thank you for coming. Have a seat.

Of course.

Did you speak to Agent Hannah Wells

about Dr. Frost?

Yes. Uh, she asked for my help.

She's a tenacious
investigator and insists

that Dr. Frost is responsible
for the cyber attacks

that have crippled my administration.

I know. She told me.

She's wrong.

During my 25th Amendment hearing,

Dr. Frost was questioned
about a conversation,

a private conversation,

that we had right here in this office.

Agent Wells thought she
leaked that conversation

to Ethan West in... In
an effort to undermine me

because that's what the
hacker would've done.

You never know what
people are capable of.

Exactly.

So I had the Secret Service
sweep my office for bugs,

and they found one thing.

Zero to 60 in 3 flat, carbon-neutral,

400 miles to a charge,

rolling off the assembly
lines this spring.

This.

Inside the car you gave me.

Needless to say, I was speechless

because I couldn't believe that a man

who I considered to be
one of my closest friends

could possibly have
hacked the power grid,

- NASA...
- Tom.

Released a video of me confronting

the man who killed my wife!

Speechless doesn't even
come close to covering this.

Why the hell would you do this to me?

You know the greatest curse
facing this country right now?

Government interference. Overregulation.

What the hell are you talking about?

Free enterprise? The promise of America?

A promise that's been
strangled by red tape,

a bureaucracy that prevents innovation,

stifles human progress.

So you attack our
institutions, undermine them,

in the hopes, while the
country's distracted,

you could build your
empire without scrutiny?!

You make it sound like I'm
some kind of Bond villain.

I-I'm not.

Then what the hell are you?

Do you know the societal
good my companies can do

if they are left to flourish

without antitrust investigations?

And I'm not talking about money.

I'm talking about freedom.

The greatest right we have as Americans

is the right to be left alone.

Trust me,

I'm gonna do everything I can
to make sure you're left alone.

Agent Wells?

So you're back in the
President's good graces.

I was never out.

I broke into your house while
you were at lunch with Frost.

You staged her firing?

Yes. Because I knew you'd be listening.

And I knew, when she talked
to you about Dr. Andrea Frost,

you'd take the bait.

Because just like every other coward...

you need someone to
blame everything else on.

Get him out of my sight.

You did okay out there today, rook.

Thanks. I'm better in here, though.

Yeah.

You're definitely better off

not working for someone who got fired.

Because if Hannah was
really gone, you'd be, too.

How long did you know?

From the jump. I'm Secret Service.

There's nothing that
goes on in this building

that I don't know about.

I'll remember that.

Remember this, too...

I got a lot of respect for Hannah,

and I think it's great
how you look out for her,

but you got to look out
for yourself, as well.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Congratulations. Looks
like you pulled this off.

Yes, we did.

Dax Minter has been arrested,

and he's being charged as we speak,

thanks in large part to you.

Are you alright?

I know he was your best friend.

Alex was my best friend.

But he and I were close,

and for a long time, he
was one of those rare people

that you didn't have
to explain anything to

or pull out all the old stories for

because he was there.

Tom, I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

Me too.

I'm just gonna have to accept

that he's not the same person now,

not the one who was my friend.

I just wish I knew what had turned him.

Anyway, I would never
have gotten through

these last few months

without your incredible
friendship and support.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry that you got
pulled into all of this.

I'm not.

I made a friend,

a good one.

One that I'm gonna miss.

Tom, um...

I'm moving to San Francisco.

San Francisco? Why?

Well, Apache's acquiring
another aerospace company,

and it's a big play for us.

I need to be there for the transition...

and close to the Cabernet.

Makes sense on both counts.

Tom, listen, I-I want to
say something because...

I think we share a connection.

You lost your wife, I lost my husband,

and they will always hold
a place in our hearts.

Yes, they will.

But I-I...

I think part of getting
through this is...

is making room in your
heart for someone else,

and I wish that for you someday.

I wish that for you, too.

Bye, Tom.

I prefer "till I see you again."

Till I see you again.

Yeah.

Come here.

You go get 'em out there, Andrea.

Hey.

I found something on Minter's drive.

A large payment right
after Damian was killed

to a company called
Smith & Johnson Holdings.

The killer for hire didn't even try

to make it sound legit.

Is there a name on the filing paperwork?

No, just a business address...
2500 D Street Northwest.

- It's in D.C.
- Wait. Wait. I know that address.

Who's it belong to?

No one. That's the point.

It's... It's an old
empty office building.

Dummy corps will pay to register

their business addresses there

so they can stay off the grid.

That's good. If there's a payment,

there's got to be a money trail.

And the person who made the payment

is someone who would want
to cover their tracks.

So they went there and paid
building management in cash.

That's my guess.

Can you get into the
business security system?

- Already on it.
- Alright, good.

Look for the, um, day that
the company was registered

because that's when the
payment would've been made.

Got it.

Wait. Stop it there.

- Valeria Poriskova?
- Wait.

How the hell did Dax
Minter link up with Valeria?

Minter knew that I was on
the hacking investigation.

So to close the loop,
he tried to get rid of me

and make it look like Frost did it.

And who better to hire
than a Russian agent

who you've been clashing with
who wants you dead anyway?

Except... Valeria missed
me and killed Damian.

You know, what you're
looking for isn't in there.

I think you know where you
can take your self-help advice.

Hannah, I can't let
you hunt down Valeria.

Alright, Dax Minter's behind bars.

The hacking's done.

We're repairing relations with Russia.

It's over.

Not for me, it isn't.

There are things that
I have to do, Aaron,

that I cannot do working
for the White House.

I mean, think, Hannah.

You lay those down, you
may not get them back.

Bye, Aaron.
