Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,785
Previously on
"Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:03,921 --> 00:00:06,129
Capitol's been attacked.
Eagle is gone.
3
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:08,623
Congress, the Cabinet.
You are now the President.
4
00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:09,795
My name is Seth Wright.
5
00:00:09,927 --> 00:00:12,135
I was named White House
Press Secretary.
6
00:00:12,262 --> 00:00:14,754
Aaron, I want you here.
I won't take "no" for an answer.
7
00:00:14,890 --> 00:00:16,973
I serve at the pleasure
of the President.
8
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,092
- Welcome back.
- Thank you, sir.
9
00:00:19,228 --> 00:00:22,081
I would like you to be my chief of staff.
I'm throwing you in the deep end.
10
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:23,105
I won't let you down.
11
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:25,273
Agent Wells,
I hereby authorize you
12
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,857
to use whatever means necessary,
13
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:28,851
to find the people
involved in this conspiracy
14
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:30,444
and bring them to justice.
15
00:00:30,572 --> 00:00:32,052
Our target is Patrick Lloyd.
16
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:35,150
We believe that he is responsible
for the bombing on our Capitol.
17
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:36,285
What's going on?
18
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:37,447
Patrick Lloyd.
19
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:40,139
He hacked the Defense Department's
most highly classified server.
20
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:42,532
Troop movements,
intel on our nuclear arsenal.
21
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:45,063
Lloyd could sell off the information
in pieces to the highest bidder.
22
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:47,955
- Are we any closer to finding him?
- No, sir.
23
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,074

24
00:01:16,952 --> 00:01:19,660
They broke ground here in 1793.
25
00:01:21,999 --> 00:01:25,538
The British burned it down in 1814,
but we rebuilt it.
26
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:28,669
Patrick Lloyd blew it to pieces.
27
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:31,338
We rebuilt it again.
28
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,135
It's just masonry and paint.
29
00:01:36,722 --> 00:01:38,509
Why do you think
it means so much?
30
00:01:39,725 --> 00:01:42,342
Because it's, um, a symbol, sir.
31
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:44,514
A symbol that nearly bankrupted us.
32
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:49,016
You honestly think that this glorified
office building's worth $7 billion?
33
00:01:49,151 --> 00:01:50,687
No, sir.
34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,312
I think it's worth
a whole lot more.
35
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:56,322
Damn right.
36
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:03,412
Morning, sir.
37
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,452
And what about
the rebuilt Capitol?
38
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:08,918
They should call it Kirkman's Folly.
He rebuilt it in one year.
39
00:02:09,046 --> 00:02:10,412
Cost overruns. Overtime.
40
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:11,788
And as an encore,
41
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:13,915
he jams through
an emergency defense bill
42
00:02:14,051 --> 00:02:15,758
after Lloyd's Pentagon hack.
43
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:18,094
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning.
44
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:19,632
Lloyd couldn't kill Kirkman,
45
00:02:19,765 --> 00:02:22,257
so he's killing his presidency
one dollar at a time.
46
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:23,758
Lloyd's greatest shot
47
00:02:23,894 --> 00:02:25,760
was the one he didn't fire...
48
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:27,762
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning.
49
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:30,765
One year in. Someone
should have baked a cake.
50
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:34,189
- Yes, sir.
- Because this is a festive occasion.
51
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:35,404
Yes, sir.
52
00:02:36,907 --> 00:02:38,068
You're saying "Yes, sir"
53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320
because I'm the President
of the United States, right?
54
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:41,571
Yes, sir.
55
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:48,157
I need some water.
56
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:50,159
Okay. Sasha, can you get us
a bottle of water?
57
00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:51,786
Oh, bottled water?
No, thank you.
58
00:02:51,922 --> 00:02:53,129
BPAs.
59
00:02:53,256 --> 00:02:54,463
We'll find you a fountain.
60
00:02:54,591 --> 00:02:56,298
This building is 200 years old.
61
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:58,306
You know how much lead
those pipes are leaching?
62
00:02:58,428 --> 00:02:59,669
That's all the water we have.
63
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,592
- Really?
- Yep. Lyor, look.
64
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:04,807
Hi. Lyor, I've spent six months
trying to convince the President
65
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,346
to hire a political director.
66
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:08,140
If you blow this,
67
00:03:08,271 --> 00:03:10,638
you won't get within a ZIP code
of the White House again.
68
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:15,309
Well, at least I'll be well hydrated.
69
00:03:15,445 --> 00:03:17,983
Two presidential campaigns,
nine senatorial ones,
70
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:19,697
and adviser to Cameron.
71
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:22,784
Two PhDs from Chicago
in Philosophy and History.
72
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:24,493
Did you study
with Paul Bridgeman?
73
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:26,453
Ah, yes, sir. I didn't like him.
74
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:31,493
You're good on paper,
75
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:32,939
and Emily says
you're the smartest person
76
00:03:32,963 --> 00:03:34,704
that she's ever worked with.
77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,834
So, why do you think
I need a political director?
78
00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:41,336
Sir, what do you want
out of your presidency?
79
00:03:42,097 --> 00:03:44,510
My initial goals were
to stabilize the country
80
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:47,509
and try and lead the American people
back from a terrible tragedy.
81
00:03:47,644 --> 00:03:50,978
But now, I want them to believe
in their government again.
82
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,348
I want them to trust
that their vote matters
83
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:55,896
and know that they have a say
in their own destiny.
84
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:57,359
But the only way that happens
85
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,247
is for the American people
to believe in you,
86
00:03:59,364 --> 00:04:01,426
- and currently the polls say...
- I don't care about the polls.
87
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:03,533
- You should, sir.
- No, I shouldn't.
88
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:07,324
The polls didn't make any headway on
clean energy or fill judicial vacancies.
89
00:04:07,456 --> 00:04:08,599
The only thing that really matters
90
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:11,543
is the actual work that we get done here
on behalf of the American people.
91
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:12,867
But only if they know about it.
92
00:04:13,003 --> 00:04:16,167
Appearance is reality,
and the reality here
93
00:04:16,298 --> 00:04:18,415
is that people think
you're not doing a good job.
94
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,528
I'm guessing that we're still
talking about the polls.
95
00:04:20,552 --> 00:04:22,432
Sir, you need approval ratings
to get a mandate.
96
00:04:22,471 --> 00:04:23,990
No mandate,
Congress won't listen to you.
97
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:25,774
If Congress doesn't listen,
you can't govern.
98
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:28,094
Yet I come into this office
every day and do exactly that.
99
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:29,512
Well, yes,
but not effectively.
100
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:31,601
I mean, your legislation's
stuck in the pipeline.
101
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:33,016
I think I know the chorus.
102
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:35,501
Did you know that James Garfield
had better numbers that you?
103
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:36,857
And someone shot him.
104
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,022
I think what Lyor's trying
to say here, sir, is...
105
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:40,514
Emily, I don't need a translation.
106
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:43,865
Mr. Boone here doesn't mince his words.
He just likes to repeat them.
107
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:46,400
But you're candid, and I value that.
108
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:49,449
I would like to try this on a trial basis.
109
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:51,698
I think that would be best
for both of us.
110
00:04:51,833 --> 00:04:55,201
If it's okay, I'd like to start by
observing. Just dip my toe in the water?
111
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:58,177
- But not the White House water 'cause...
- I'll show him to his office.
112
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:02,045
Mr. President.
We have a situation.
113
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,212
Federated Russian Air 342...
114
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:11,892
...hijacked at Chicago Metro
20 minutes ago.
115
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:14,433
Mr. Director, I fought very hard
to add billions of dollars
116
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:17,602
to Homeland Security's budget,
because the procedures in place...
117
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,566
Are clearly insufficient, sir.
118
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,560
Aaron's asked us
to overhaul our protocol.
119
00:05:21,696 --> 00:05:23,028
We'll make it a priority.
120
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:24,859
How the hell did they do this?
121
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,783
Ceramic knives, sir.
122
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:30,779
There are four hijackers, sir.
They haven't made any demands yet.
123
00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:31,994
What's the passenger count?
124
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:34,745
165, 68 Americans.
125
00:05:48,807 --> 00:05:51,595
♪ Sometimes we fall ♪
126
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:57,806
♪ Sometimes we fall down ♪
127
00:05:57,941 --> 00:05:59,523

128

♪ Sometimes we fall down, down ♪
130
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:13,242
Uh-oh.
131
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:15,990
Is someone having too much fun?
132
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:18,000
One more, yeah?
133
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:19,164
Slivovitz.
134
00:06:19,296 --> 00:06:20,707
No, I gotta go home.
135
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,839
Home?
136
00:06:21,923 --> 00:06:23,004
So early?
137
00:06:24,009 --> 00:06:26,126
- Okay, okay, I'll take you.
- Excuse me.
138
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:33,015
Okay, okay.
139
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:17,889
It's a series of addresses;
Buenos Aires, Nairobi,
140
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:19,762
Oslo, Amsterdam.
141
00:07:19,898 --> 00:07:21,264
What can you tell me
about them?
142
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,479
Nothing. They don't link
to residences or businesses,
143
00:07:23,568 --> 00:07:24,684
and I think I know why.
144
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:27,061
These cities are all nodes
for the dark web.
145
00:07:27,197 --> 00:07:28,382
Locations of folks Lloyd's been paying
146
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:30,176
to keep him off the grid
for the past six months.
147
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:33,554
I sent you the Amsterdam coordinates.
Hannah, this guy was Special Forces.
148
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:35,945
You better have back-up.
Do not go after Lloyd alone.
149
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:38,073
Hannah, are you listening to me?
150
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:18,245
Ah, ah, ah.
151
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:21,116
On your knees, right now.
152
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:25,290
Why are you British all of a sudden?
153
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:28,130
Why do Americans
ask so many questions?
154
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:30,466
You're an Englishman
posing as a Dutchman
155
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,960
carrying a Walther P99.
156
00:08:33,763 --> 00:08:34,844
MI6?
157
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:35,973
Shut up.
158
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:38,849
I'm Hannah Wells, FBI.
159
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:41,264
Interpol ID 64X-Q91.
160
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:44,605
If you know how to confirm it,
you'll know I am who I say I am.
161
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:52,980
I need an Interpol cert.
162
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:56,487
64X-Q91.
163
00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:02,573
Where were you born?
164
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:05,125
Oceanside, California.
165
00:09:11,968 --> 00:09:14,301
My name's Damien Rennett,
166
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,546
and you're a long way
from home, Ms. Wells.
167
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:19,424
Thought you were one of the guys
on Lloyd's payroll.
168
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:21,717
I've been tracking you for a week.
169
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:24,015
I've been tracking you for two.
170
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:27,473
Sorry about your head.
171
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:29,646
How long have you been
on Lloyd's trail?
172
00:09:29,778 --> 00:09:32,737
Months. I'm closing in, but,
you know, a guy with his assets,
173
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:34,355
he's still got a lot of trap doors.
174
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:37,359
But I'm surprised to find
British Intelligence on this.
175
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:40,987
Lloyd owns £200 million
worth of property in England.
176
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:44,118
Well, as long as we're following
the same breadcrumbs,
177
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,916
we might as well pool our resources.
178
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:47,205
Agreed.
179
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:53,841
Young, tech guy, old-timey clock?
180
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:04,219
Hidden surveillance camera.
181
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:05,390
Let's hard-wire it.
182
00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:14,486
Ah, there's our boy.
183
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:18,191
Lloyd knows we're getting closer.
184
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:20,367
He's covering his tracks.
185
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:28,371
What do we know about the hijackers?
186
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:31,120
Not much. DNI's pulling up
some profiles as we speak.
187
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:33,248
Let me know as soon
as they've got an assessment.
188
00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:35,124
Here's the passenger manifest, sir.
189
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,048
It includes a humanitarian
mission from the WHO.
190
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,718
They were hoping to cross into Ukraine,
deliver medical supplies.
191
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:57,070
Mr. President?
192
00:11:00,285 --> 00:11:02,572
These people hijacked
a plane on U.S. soil
193
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,162
in an effort to pull the West
into a regional conflict,
194
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:07,282
and they're willing
to kill Americans to do it.
195
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:11,063
Right now, both of you should be huddling
with the Ukrainian and Russian ambassadors
196
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:14,455
because Russia will use this
as an excuse to attack Ukraine.
197
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:17,504
We need to get them talking.
That's our job.
198
00:11:17,635 --> 00:11:18,635
Let's get it done.
199
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,093
- Will do, sir.
- Yeah.
200
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:30,846
You take Shevchenko,
I'll take Pavlov.
201
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:33,816
- Shevchenko doesn't like me.
- Pavlov doesn't like you either.
202
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:35,184
That's true.
203
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,240
You're the President's
National Security adviser.
204
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:38,654
Any words of wisdom?
205
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:40,738
Yes, we shouldn't be
feeling very secure.
206
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:45,990
Ukraine has no association
with these men or their crime,
207
00:11:46,122 --> 00:11:48,205
and I resent outrageous implication.
208
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:51,167
No, I'm not implying anything,
Mr. Ambassador.
209
00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:54,002
We are simply asking for Russian
assistance, Mr. Ambassador.
210
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:57,123
Russia does not negotiate
with terrorists.
211
00:11:57,258 --> 00:12:00,626
I'm asking whether your government
can influence Ukrainian citizens.
212
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:01,969
Terrorists.
213
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:04,713
Terrorists who are Ukrainian.
214
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:08,638
We are just asking for you
to take the diplomatic initiative.
215
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:12,684
Let's begin with U.S. response
to illegal Russian invasion of my country.
216
00:12:12,815 --> 00:12:15,023
You know why this plane
wasn't hijacked in Russia?
217
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:18,360
Because these animals know
we have ways of dealing with them.
218
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:22,698
We co-sponsored a U.N. resolution
condemning Russia's aggression.
219
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:24,532
We continue to pressure them
on this front.
220
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:28,245
You summon me, "Mr. Ambassador,
terror happening in America.
221
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:30,160
Ukraine must fix."
222
00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:35,161
With pleasure, right after
America fix terror in Ukraine.
223
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:41,209
This hijacking is an attack
on a Russian entity,
224
00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:46,305
so with respect,
we decide how we respond.
225
00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:48,675
And to use an American phrase...
226
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:52,136
we don't cry uncle.
227
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,068
We ship 40,000 electric cars
a month, Seth.
228
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:03,780
Zero emissions,
built by computers, affordable.
229
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:05,444
It's impressive.
230
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:07,738
Except we should be
shipping twice that.
231
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:11,204
Our problem's not product, it's PR.
232
00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:14,370
And that's where you come in.
233
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:15,913
I already have a job.
234
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:17,912
Let's be frank, Seth.
235
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,255
You guys are in a terminal tailspin,
and that makes you a distressed asset,
236
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:26,254
which means your value
will continue to depreciate.
237
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:30,224
But right now, today,
you're still a commodity.
238
00:13:32,687 --> 00:13:34,269
Two more years in the White House,
239
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:37,890
you'll get a job as editorial director
of a magazine no one will read.
240
00:13:38,568 --> 00:13:40,480
Two years as my head of marketing,
241
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:42,728
you can buy that magazine.
242
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:46,986
Excuse me.
243
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:48,404
Yeah?
244
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,181
The hijackers are Ukrainian nationals.
245
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:54,289
They're a group calling
themselves Osovobodit Ukrainu.
246
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:57,581
- What are they asking for?
- Negotiations on the status of Crimea.
247
00:13:57,712 --> 00:14:00,750
Ukraine is demanding an immediate
withdrawal of Russia's occupation.
248
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:02,464
Now, DHS is monitoring the situation,
249
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:05,130
and we have some FBI hostage negotiation
teams on site.
250
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:06,968
Is Patrick Lloyd linked to this?
251
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:08,303
We have no evidence of that.
252
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:11,299
But this isn't technically inconsistent
with his modus operandi, is it?
253
00:14:11,434 --> 00:14:13,642
Patrick Lloyd is one of the most
hunted people on earth.
254
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:16,934
His businesses have been closed,
his co-conspirators have been arrested,
255
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:18,931
and he hasn't been heard from
in half a year,
256
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:21,067
yet somehow, guys,
every third question is about...
257
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:22,897
So you're not ruling him out?
258
00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:26,614
On current information, Patrick Lloyd had
nothing to do with the hijacking.
259
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:28,824
Or the listeria outbreak
in New Hampshire,
260
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:30,671
or with global warming.
Any other questions?
261
00:14:30,745 --> 00:14:33,783
C-can you at least update the status
of the Lloyd investigation?
262
00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:36,157
Yes, all our best people are on it.
Thank you.
263
00:14:36,292 --> 00:14:38,534
Seth. Seth!
264
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:40,731
- That was a real beauty.
- Yeah, well, they keep asking
265
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:42,621
the same questions
expecting different answers,
266
00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:45,625
- so I figured I'd try a different tack.
- Naked hostility?
267
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,488
Yeah, sometimes it's stick,
sometimes it's carrot.
268
00:14:47,512 --> 00:14:49,573
Oh, we need your latest
hijacking update out immediately.
269
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:51,077
I've asked Lyor Boone to take a look.
270
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:52,631
- Who?
- He's auditioning for P.D.
271
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:54,328
Ooh, and Elias Grandy's
in the West Wing.
272
00:14:54,352 --> 00:14:57,289
- Come on, I thought you brushed him off.
- I've brushed him off six times.
273
00:14:57,313 --> 00:15:00,250
He's the only National Medal for the Arts
recipient the President hasn't met,
274
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:01,835
and he's insistent
on meeting all of them.
275
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:04,192
Oh, Grandy's a poison pen,
biting political satire,
276
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,799
not the kind of guy who should be
pressing flesh with the President,
277
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:08,592
especially not when the water's
rising around here.
278
00:15:08,616 --> 00:15:11,656
- Tell me something I don't know.
- Um, I can play "Chopsticks" with my feet.
279
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:14,199
Why don't you use those
to sashay over to Reception?
280
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,538
Grandy's been there two hours.
Just stash him somewhere.
281
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:19,186
If the President frees up,
we'll do a drive-by, 30 seconds tops.
282
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:20,542
That's 30 seconds too long.
283
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:22,106
We appreciate your patience, Mr. Grandy.
284
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:23,857
The President's been pulled away
on an urgent matter,
285
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:25,372
but he should be with you shortly.
286
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,361
- I can come back.
- Oh, that won't be necessary.
287
00:15:27,385 --> 00:15:28,625
Just make yourself comfortable.
288
00:15:39,564 --> 00:15:40,850
- Uh, excuse me.
- Oh, hello.
289
00:15:40,982 --> 00:15:43,544
- Lyor Boone. I'm gonna be observing...
- I know. What are you doing?
290
00:15:43,568 --> 00:15:45,337
I'm just looking for a pen.
I figured you're a writer,
291
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,961
you might have a lot of them.
You do. It's quite a selection here.
292
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:49,429
This is an ergonomic match.
How much?
293
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:50,740
How much?
294
00:15:50,825 --> 00:15:53,613
I have $16. I've got a Slinky,
uh, half an egg salad sandwich.
295
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:55,389
Yeah, we're pretty lousy
with pens around here,
296
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:56,779
so knock yourself out.
297
00:15:56,914 --> 00:15:58,951
Really? Thanks.
Oh, and here are a few notes
298
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:01,700
on your press release about
the Federated Russian Air thing.
299
00:16:01,836 --> 00:16:03,998
Yeah, I only had a problem
with the first two pages.
300
00:16:06,007 --> 00:16:07,373
It is two pages!
301
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:17,716
Chicken korma from Rasika,
and you're not gonna touch it?
302
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:20,556
Sorry, I'm just not hungry.
303
00:16:20,688 --> 00:16:22,099
The hijacking, right?
304
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:25,565
A little while ago, they gave me
the passenger manifest.
305
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:27,730
Russell Donson's on the plane.
306
00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:30,900
Russ? Oh, my God.
307
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:33,114
Part of a humanitarian mission.
308
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:35,279
Oh, my God, we haven't
seen him in so long.
309
00:16:35,411 --> 00:16:36,492
You know, I feel so bad.
310
00:16:36,621 --> 00:16:39,409
I haven't even called Rena since
you took over the presidency.
311
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,452
It's kind of sad
that we all drifted apart.
312
00:16:41,584 --> 00:16:43,246
We didn't drift apart, Alex.
313
00:16:43,377 --> 00:16:44,618
Russell and I fell out.
314
00:16:44,754 --> 00:16:46,461
What are you talking about?
315
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:49,798
When we came back from
the Peace Corps in Naruba, remember?
316
00:16:51,052 --> 00:16:53,169
Then you got into Stanford's
doctoral program,
317
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:57,298
and he and Rena left
on a mission to Ghana
318
00:16:57,433 --> 00:16:58,674
about a week later.
319
00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:00,926
I promised Russell
I would go on that mission.
320
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:04,513
Stanford came knocking,
I couldn't turn it down.
321
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:05,981
Russell called me a sell-out.
322
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,816
I called him a sanctimonious
son of a bitch. It took off from there.
323
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:12,109
Wow. W-why didn't you tell me?
324
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,780
'Cause I didn't want you
to think I was a sell-out, too.
325
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:21,617
We'd all made a pact together
to change the world
326
00:17:21,749 --> 00:17:23,615
from the ground up, brick by brick.
327
00:17:24,085 --> 00:17:26,452
Leo had just been born.
328
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:29,671
I kept telling myself I was thinking
about my family,
329
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:32,086
but I... I was thinking about myself.
330
00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:35,177
And I broke a promise to my best friend,
331
00:17:35,304 --> 00:17:37,341
and now he's on that plane.
332
00:17:37,473 --> 00:17:38,964
And if they connect him to me...
333
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:40,591
He becomes a bargaining chip.
334
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:42,676
If he's lucky.
335
00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:53,483
They want us to help them broker a deal
with the Russians for $47 billion?
336
00:17:53,614 --> 00:17:55,856
Money they say Russia stole
from the Ukrainian treasury.
337
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:59,326
They also want repatriation
of the remains of Ukrainian nationalists.
338
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:00,864
Yeah, the demands keep escalating.
339
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:03,100
If they're not met, they start killing
passengers at midnight,
340
00:18:03,124 --> 00:18:04,535
beginning with Americans.
341
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:07,751
We're getting word of a Russian
naval buildup in the Sea of Azov.
342
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:09,585
Ukraine's not part of NATO, but Turkey is.
343
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:12,047
If Russia starts flexing
its muscle too close to Turkey,
344
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:15,508
NATO's gonna have to scramble their fleet,
which will implicate our troops.
345
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:17,719
Thank you, Mike.
346
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,679
Son of a bitch.
347
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:26,936
Satellite imagery shows
the Russian Sixth Army
348
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:28,680
massing at the Ukrainian border.
349
00:18:28,816 --> 00:18:30,728
- What's our timeline?
- We're eight hours in.
350
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,943
Hostage negotiators tell me
if these situations
351
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,687
don't resolve in the first day,
they usually end violently.
352
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,217
Where the hell's
the Secretary-General?
353
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:39,001
- Wheels down at Andrews.
- Get him here now.
354
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:40,692
If this thing looks
like it's cratering,
355
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:42,639
the President's gonna want
those tactical options.
356
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:44,746
- Having them drawn up as we speak.
- Good.
357
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:49,080
Dev... Devon Braverman from The Times
called me for a comment, by the way.
358
00:18:49,211 --> 00:18:50,292
Why would he call you?
359
00:18:50,421 --> 00:18:51,957
Well, Seth hung up on him, twice.
360
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:54,422
You don't hang up on a Pulitzer
Prize-winning columnist.
361
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,737
Looks like our boy's going
through a bit of a rough patch.
362
00:18:56,761 --> 00:18:57,761
He'll get through it.
363
00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:58,762
- Emily?
- Yep?
364
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:01,163
There's a V.A. Committee meeting
in the Roosevelt Room in 30.
365
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:02,492
Oh, Lenny's running point on that.
366
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:04,476
Yes, but some writer said
Seth said to stay there.
367
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:05,554
Right, sorry. Thank you.
368
00:19:05,686 --> 00:19:07,803
Uh, Elias Grandy, Aaron.
Can you handle it?
369
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:09,554
Yeah, not my job.
370
00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:11,811
True, but it's my job
371
00:19:11,942 --> 00:19:14,400
to make sure that trains are
running on time around here,
372
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:17,396
so technically you report to me,
meaning your job just expanded.
373
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:23,489
Sorry, the President's still tied up,
Mr. Grandy.
374
00:19:23,621 --> 00:19:25,283
- I can come back.
- No, just hang tight,
375
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:26,950
and let us know
if you need anything.
376
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:28,574
A-actually,
I-I haven't eaten yet...
377
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:29,936
Excuse me a moment.
378
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,292
Yeah, Aaron Shore.
379
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:43,638
- Your Newton's cradle.
- Yeah.
380
00:19:43,766 --> 00:19:46,224
You know, Newton didn't even invent it;
John Wallis did.
381
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,144
It's odd, right?
382
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:50,603
Anything I can help you with?
383
00:19:50,731 --> 00:19:54,224
Yes. I was wondering...
What product do you use?
384
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:55,646
Product?
385
00:19:55,778 --> 00:19:57,440
On your face.
Your skin is luminous.
386
00:19:57,571 --> 00:19:59,654
Is it glycolic acid?
Nightingale droppings?
387
00:19:59,782 --> 00:20:01,489
- Pumice?
- Soap and water.
388
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:03,159
Huh.
389
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:05,660
Uh, thank you.
390
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:09,031
Yeah, it's important,
the products we use, you know?
391
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:10,657
Kind of like the words we use.
392
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:13,126
And the words
this administration's using:
393
00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:14,495
no good.
394
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,667
Any words in particular?
395
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,290
I'm compiling a list, actually, yeah.
396
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:20,266
I think there should be
a lexicon of bad words.
397
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:22,176
You think I should talk to Seth
about that?
398
00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:26,052
Sure. Telling a writer what words to use
is always a great idea.
399
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:28,303
Oh, and the hotel you met
the Ukrainian ambassador at:
400
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:29,853
terrible.
401
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:33,263
- I'll make a note.
- Good.
402
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,023
Good talk.
403
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:43,239
Talk to me.
404
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,700
I'm in Amsterdam,
12 hours behind Lloyd.
405
00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:48,036
- Wait, I thought he was in Budapest.
- Not anymore.
406
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:50,998
He knocked off a confederate who was
fronting for his purchases here.
407
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:52,912
This guy's computer
has a Bitcoin account
408
00:20:53,043 --> 00:20:55,080
that was accessed a few minutes
before he died.
409
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,691
That account was used to buy
half-a-million dollars in computers
410
00:20:57,715 --> 00:20:59,331
on the black market a week ago.
411
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:01,550
Wait, w-what's Lloyd
using computers for?
412
00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:02,884
I'm gonna find out.
413
00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:04,503
A source tells me that,
in Amsterdam,
414
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:07,078
there's only one seller who can
move that volume of equipment,
415
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:10,179
so I'm on the way to the warehouse now.
But, Aaron, we're closing in.
416
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:11,893
All these months of cat and mouse,
417
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:13,387
we've run him into the ground.
418
00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:16,765
I don't want to bring the President in
the loop yet until we firm up the intel.
419
00:21:16,901 --> 00:21:19,221
I mean, anything breaks...
- Yeah, I got you on speed dial.
420
00:21:19,528 --> 00:21:20,814
One last thing...
421
00:21:21,155 --> 00:21:23,863
Hey, you turn up dead,
I'm gonna look really bad.
422
00:21:24,533 --> 00:21:25,694
Thanks, Coach.
423
00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:29,278
I didn't know
who the purchaser was.
424
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:30,870
I don't meet my customers.
425
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:33,285
They sent Bitcoin, I sent goods.
426
00:21:33,417 --> 00:21:35,500
Okay, so tell us
where you sent the computers.
427
00:21:36,337 --> 00:21:38,579
No. I am paid for discretion.
428
00:21:43,552 --> 00:21:45,418
Actually, no. No politie.
429
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:48,354
If he doesn't want to cooperate,
let's just leave him to Patrick Lloyd.
430
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:51,512
He's a loose end.
He doesn't like loose ends.
431
00:21:52,186 --> 00:21:53,222
Wait.
432
00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:56,350
I'll tell you
where Lloyd's computers are.
433
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:01,602
Both sides have rejected
our diplomatic initiative.
434
00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:03,478
Each one thinks
we're on the other's side,
435
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:07,073
so we were hoping that the U.N.
could step in as a neutral arbiter.
436
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:08,612
We have tried, sir.
437
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,407
Neither Russia or Ukraine
is willing to engage us.
438
00:22:13,415 --> 00:22:15,077
Something's off with this.
439
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,996
Both sides refuse to negotiate.
440
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,460
Both sides refuse
a third-party intervention.
441
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,671
The hijackers keep changing
their demands,
442
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:24,462
making it impossible for us
to meet them even if we wanted to,
443
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:27,631
which they know we can't because
we don't negotiate with terrorists.
444
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:30,756
It's like both sides want
the situation to deteriorate.
445
00:22:35,271 --> 00:22:36,978
Yes, it's exactly like that.
446
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:40,645
Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General,
for getting here so quickly.
447
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:43,101
I wish I could've been more of service.
448
00:22:43,779 --> 00:22:44,815
Thank you.
449
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:48,281
Forensic accounting just dug this up.
450
00:22:48,409 --> 00:22:50,129
Fully funded Swiss bank accounts
were opened
451
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,402
in each of the hijackers' names
three days ago.
452
00:23:01,005 --> 00:23:02,792
Wait a second.
453
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:06,212
This shows the money traces back
to a state-run Russian bank.
454
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:10,758
Why would Russia pay Ukrainian
separatists to hijack a Russian jet?
455
00:23:13,684 --> 00:23:15,801
Russia's looking for a pretext for war.
456
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:18,223
Ukraine's happy to sit on its hands,
let things escalate.
457
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:20,584
Russia attacks, and the world finally
takes note of their plight.
458
00:23:20,608 --> 00:23:22,850
While we waste our time
with shuttle diplomacy,
459
00:23:22,985 --> 00:23:26,149
which neither side wants.
165 lives hang in the balance.
460
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,133
I'll get the Russian and
Ukrainian ambassadors here.
461
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:30,069
I want them both in my office
at the same time.
462
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,316
Yes, sir.
463
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:39,495
Sasha?
464
00:23:40,377 --> 00:23:41,743
Can I get a goji kombucha?
465
00:23:41,879 --> 00:23:43,541
- We're out.
- Send an intern.
466
00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:44,833
No, Northwest D.C. is out.
467
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:47,565
Someone bought up 60 crates last night
from the local distributor.
468
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:50,168
Who would buy 60 crates of goji kombucha?
469
00:23:50,304 --> 00:23:51,920
Funny you should ask.
470
00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:54,048
So you don't drink goji kombucha.
471
00:23:54,183 --> 00:23:55,219
No. No, I hate it.
472
00:23:55,351 --> 00:23:56,671
Then why would you buy 60 crates?
473
00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:58,447
- Because I hate it.
- Let's try this again.
474
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,729
I have an olfactory sensitivity
to fermented goji products.
475
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:04,294
It would be presumptuous of me
to ask anyone in the White House
476
00:24:04,318 --> 00:24:06,171
not to drink it, so I removed it
from consideration.
477
00:24:06,195 --> 00:24:07,527
- 60 crates.
- Oh, don't worry,
478
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:09,549
I found a reseller
who's moving them out of state.
479
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:10,905
I'm actually making a profit.
480
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:12,615
Lyor, you can't control what I drink.
481
00:24:12,743 --> 00:24:15,235
Well, maybe not, but I can make
failure a virtue.
482
00:24:15,371 --> 00:24:17,863
You know, that's a little...
That's pretty good.
483
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:19,910
It should be the motto
of the White House...
484
00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:22,705
Hey, Lyor! Do you think maybe
since I stuck my neck out for you,
485
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:25,396
you could act like someone who didn't
just escape from an asylum?
486
00:24:26,256 --> 00:24:27,372
Wow.
487
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:31,380
- You really like goji kombucha.
- My God!
488
00:24:32,221 --> 00:24:34,884
Hey, Seth. Your release
on the hostage crisis;
489
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:36,597
it's a little combative.
490
00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:39,593
Hijackings are combative.
They call for muscular language.
491
00:24:39,728 --> 00:24:40,935
What did Lyor say?
492
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:43,396
He put an "X"
through both pages.
493
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:45,364
I feel like he couldn't find
his lighter fluid.
494
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:48,059
He can be a little direct,
but he's brilliant.
495
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:49,675
Speaker Fenton was dead in the polls,
496
00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:52,773
and I watched him resuscitate his
campaign and water-into-wine stuff.
497
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:54,240
That was eight years ago, right?
498
00:24:54,368 --> 00:24:56,928
I feel like he's been dropped on his head
since then, repeatedly.
499
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:57,954
He'll grow on you.
500
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,117
Look, I got a lot of cooks
in my soup already.
501
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:02,394
I would've appreciated the heads-up
before you looped him in.
502
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:05,522
The President signed off on him last
night. I was looking for you this morning.
503
00:25:05,546 --> 00:25:07,065
- Oh. Doctor's appointment.
- Everything okay?
504
00:25:07,089 --> 00:25:09,209
Yeah, just a routine check-up.
Thank you for the name.
505
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:10,590
- Dr. Wetzel?
- Yep.
506
00:25:10,718 --> 00:25:12,550
Dr. Wetzel's on vacation all month.
507
00:25:16,765 --> 00:25:18,552
- Oh, my God.
- Come here.
508
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:20,435
You're gonna quit.
509
00:25:20,436 --> 00:25:22,143
- I'm not quitting.
- Then where were you?
510
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,648
I was at a meet and greet
with Dax Minter.
511
00:25:26,775 --> 00:25:27,775
Dax Minter of Kwellis?
512
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:30,341
Yeah. Minter cold-calls you,
you don't thumb your nose at him.
513
00:25:30,404 --> 00:25:33,863
You do if you work in the White House.
I didn't know you were so unhappy.
514
00:25:33,991 --> 00:25:34,991
I never said that.
515
00:25:34,992 --> 00:25:36,654
No, you just snuck off for an interview
516
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:38,985
and lied about it because
of your high job satisfaction.
517
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:40,820
- It's complicated.
- No, it's simple.
518
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:43,396
The ship's taking on water,
and you're looking for a lifeboat.
519
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:45,478
I mean, the President deserves
a modicum of loyalty.
520
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:47,038
Modicum? Emily,
I work 18 hours a day.
521
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:48,662
You know what I accomplish?
Nothing.
522
00:25:48,797 --> 00:25:49,958
- We...
- No, listen.
523
00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,173
My only job is to make things
sound better,
524
00:25:52,301 --> 00:25:54,133
and every word
that comes out of my mouth,
525
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:55,672
I make them sound worse.
526
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:58,842
I mean, I-I'm like
the herald of doom around here.
527
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:03,788
You don't want to leave
because the ship's sinking.
528
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:06,099
You want to leave because
you think you're sinking it.
529
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:09,103
- I don't matter.
- You matter to me.
530
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:15,147
And to everyone in this building.
531
00:26:15,991 --> 00:26:17,698
But here's the thing;
532
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:19,692
my job is to protect the President.
533
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,912
So if you're not all in, you're all out.
534
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,076
Emily.
535
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:27,292
You have until the end of the day
to decide, or I decide for you.
536
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:33,707
Sorry, but the President's still tied up.
537
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:35,083
He'll be with you shortly.
538
00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:38,337
I-I can go home, really.
I like my home.
539
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:43,341
Shouldn't be long now.
You gonna be okay here?
540
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:45,551
Would it matter if I said no?
541
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:47,053
Probably not.
542
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:16,499
Mr. President, the ambassadors are here.
543
00:27:17,553 --> 00:27:18,553
Thank you.
544
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:26,431
Don't bother sitting down.
You won't be here long enough.
545
00:27:26,562 --> 00:27:28,224
Mr. President, my country...
546
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:30,472
Has done absolutely nothing
but sit on its hands.
547
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:32,167
Not a single overture to the hijackers.
548
00:27:32,276 --> 00:27:34,814
Yes, because they do not listen to us.
549
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:36,465
And your country, Ambassador Pavlov...
550
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:38,487
Does not negotiate with terrorists.
551
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:40,277
Especially with the ones they're paying.
552
00:27:41,243 --> 00:27:42,654
Mr. President,
553
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:45,073
I fear you are seriously misinfor...
554
00:27:45,205 --> 00:27:48,323
No, sir! You have been the one
who has misinformed me,
555
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:50,950
and I don't think I need
to explain the ramifications
556
00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:54,796
of Americans being killed on American
soil by terrorists sponsored by Russia.
557
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:57,711
You are upset.
558
00:27:58,093 --> 00:27:59,504
We all are.
559
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:03,050
Many of us have friends on that plane.
560
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:09,894
So we should all proceed with caution.
561
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:13,852
There's a Russian proverb...
562
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:21,151
"A cautious friend is a good friend."
563
00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:22,733
I prefer...
564
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:28,446
My wife's family is Russian.
565
00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:30,824
Her grandparents didn't want her
dating a poor academic,
566
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:34,123
so I learned their language
in an effort to win them over.
567
00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:36,746
Because I'm thorough.
568
00:28:37,341 --> 00:28:39,458
Every single person
that's hurt on that plane,
569
00:28:39,593 --> 00:28:41,960
let me explain
how thorough I will be.
570
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:46,180
I will wake up every morning determined
to punish those who are responsible,
571
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:47,619
and when your bosses start calling,
572
00:28:47,643 --> 00:28:50,477
trying to figure out why
we've severed diplomatic relations
573
00:28:50,604 --> 00:28:52,766
and the sanctions just keep mounting...
574
00:28:54,608 --> 00:28:57,442
two names will be used
in my explanation.
575
00:29:04,785 --> 00:29:06,117
That'll be all.
576
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:13,032
What did you tell them?
577
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:15,163
Playtime is over.
578
00:29:42,531 --> 00:29:44,944
Lloyd's computers weren't there.
Talk to me, Chuck.
579
00:29:45,075 --> 00:29:47,408
Lloyd bought those computers
for their processing power.
580
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:50,028
He networks them,
he's got a supercomputer.
581
00:29:50,163 --> 00:29:51,745
All right, I'm listening.
582
00:29:51,873 --> 00:29:54,741
Well, that much active hardware
would leave an enormous heat signature.
583
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:57,038
We're talking hundreds
of thousands of kilowatts.
584
00:29:57,671 --> 00:29:59,378
And... presto.
585
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,234
Getting a power surge
where I shouldn't:
586
00:30:01,258 --> 00:30:02,590
an abandoned building.
587
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:04,254
Sending the address now.
588
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:34,948
He's crunching data.
589
00:30:38,420 --> 00:30:40,412
No, he crunched it.
590
00:30:40,881 --> 00:30:42,622
And he scrubbed
whatever he was working on.
591
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,471
He's got a bunch of passports here;
592
00:30:50,932 --> 00:30:52,969
different names,
different nationalities.
593
00:30:53,101 --> 00:30:56,469
He's got about a dozen tickets here,
all for this morning...
594
00:30:57,939 --> 00:30:59,771
all for different airports.
595
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:01,141
He's gone.
596
00:31:01,276 --> 00:31:03,359
I can confirm that Russia's
latest troop movements
597
00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:05,854
indicate a complete withdrawal
from the Ukrainian border,
598
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:09,528
and our negotiators are finalizing
the details of the hijackers' surrender.
599
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:11,321
Have their demands been met?
600
00:31:11,453 --> 00:31:14,287
No, but because of the direct involvement
of the President,
601
00:31:14,414 --> 00:31:16,155
diplomatic channels have opened.
602
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:19,875
Passengers are disembarking now and
are being escorted to a security area.
603
00:31:20,003 --> 00:31:21,043
So this is a breakthrough.
604
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:22,665
Uh, just to confirm,
605
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:25,381
no evidence Patrick Lloyd was
involved in this, right?
606
00:31:25,509 --> 00:31:28,502
Right. Um, this hijacking
appears to have been
607
00:31:28,637 --> 00:31:31,345
strictly a regional dispute.
Thank you.
608
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,309
Uh, one more item, guys, if I may.
609
00:31:41,149 --> 00:31:42,185
Thank you.
610
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:44,479
You know, if things have seemed
a bit crabby
611
00:31:44,611 --> 00:31:46,819
on this side of the podium,
I-I apologize.
612
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:50,986
I understand that your job is to ask
questions and mine is to answer them.
613
00:31:51,118 --> 00:31:54,077
But if I can just offer
a little bit of context.
614
00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:56,867
This President has survived
an assassination attempt,
615
00:31:57,791 --> 00:31:59,999
the murder of his vice president,
616
00:32:00,127 --> 00:32:04,371
and an opposition who can only
seem to agree on the single proposition
617
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,338
that he should be thwarted at every turn.
618
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:11,131
And yet, the President has never wavered
in his belief in the American dream,
619
00:32:12,347 --> 00:32:15,966
or in the fundamental belief
in the goodness of the American people.
620
00:32:17,644 --> 00:32:19,351
Write about that.
621
00:32:21,022 --> 00:32:22,022
Booyah.
622
00:32:25,152 --> 00:32:27,735
Mr. Grandy, thank you
very much for coming.
623
00:32:27,863 --> 00:32:29,604
I hope you haven't been waiting
too long.
624
00:32:29,739 --> 00:32:31,196
No. No, sir.
625
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:32,324
Please.
626
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:34,275
I wanted to thank you
in person for your work,
627
00:32:34,411 --> 00:32:37,779
and congratulate you on becoming
a National Medal for the Arts recipient.
628
00:32:37,914 --> 00:32:40,201
Thank you, sir, but I can't accept.
629
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:41,619
I'm sorry?
630
00:32:41,751 --> 00:32:42,867
I can't accept.
631
00:32:43,003 --> 00:32:44,289
Perhaps you could elaborate.
632
00:32:44,421 --> 00:32:45,832
Well, it's a bad fit.
633
00:32:46,214 --> 00:32:50,003
I was just some name on a list
drawn up by a subordinate, right?
634
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:53,052
But nobody actually checked
to see who I am.
635
00:32:53,597 --> 00:32:55,930
You probably haven't read
a word I've written.
636
00:32:56,057 --> 00:32:57,298
No, I've read all of them.
637
00:32:57,434 --> 00:32:58,925
"Winter's Chill," "The Painter,"
638
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:00,596
the Berman Trilogy.
639
00:33:00,729 --> 00:33:02,561
T-then you know I'm not someone
you can honor.
640
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:04,480
How is that?
641
00:33:04,608 --> 00:33:06,816
I abhor what you stand for.
642
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:09,151
I think the establishment
is cancerous,
643
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,441
and I can't be bought off
by a trinket.
644
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:14,941
- I'm counting on that.
- I-I don't... I'm sorry, what?
645
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:17,784
Government exists
simply as a means.
646
00:33:17,913 --> 00:33:20,621
It allows us to live, love, create.
647
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:24,083
If you didn't exist,
there'd be no reason for me to.
648
00:33:25,045 --> 00:33:28,755
I... I-I don't know
how to respond to that, sir.
649
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:30,752
Yes, you do.
650
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:32,375
Keep writing.
651
00:33:34,429 --> 00:33:37,092
I'm not asking you to stand down.
652
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,090
I'm asking you to stand up.
653
00:33:39,893 --> 00:33:41,384
You think you can do that?
654
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,306
I think so.
655
00:33:43,438 --> 00:33:44,645
Good.
656
00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:47,481
Good.
I really am a fan.
657
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,532
Emily, we're going in there
with or without you.
658
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:58,526
I just think Lyor needs
a little more time.
659
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:00,462
To do what? This is a senior
staff assignment,
660
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:02,140
someone we have to work
intimately with.
661
00:34:02,165 --> 00:34:03,976
He's temperamentally unfit.
He's not socialized.
662
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,333
He tried to trade me
an egg salad sandwich for my pen.
663
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:08,061
His egg salad sandwiches
are really good.
664
00:34:08,088 --> 00:34:09,169
- Em...
- Look, wait, guys.
665
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:12,506
Lyor is here because we need
a direction, a battle plan,
666
00:34:12,634 --> 00:34:15,342
someone to help with our messaging,
and there is no one better.
667
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:17,448
When you were coming up together,
that was probably true,
668
00:34:17,472 --> 00:34:19,753
but now he's a square peg
in a round hole. He doesn't fit.
669
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:22,341
Would you rather be having
this conversation with the President
670
00:34:22,477 --> 00:34:23,837
before he starts or in two months?
671
00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:36,856
What's wrong?
672
00:34:37,951 --> 00:34:39,988
We need to talk to you about Lyor.
673
00:34:41,037 --> 00:34:42,653
Oh, good.
674
00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:45,197
Your timing's perfect.
Come with me.
675
00:34:48,878 --> 00:34:50,744
This was the book
I was talking about.
676
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,998
Oh.
Oh, the cov... ah, yes.
677
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:56,383
Oh, hey, gang.
678
00:34:57,846 --> 00:35:02,261
Ah, so... uh, I just told
the President.
679
00:35:02,392 --> 00:35:06,386
I've decided I want to work here
because I think I can help.
680
00:35:07,814 --> 00:35:09,021
Please.
681
00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:11,436
Seth, you keep using
the word "hijacking."
682
00:35:11,568 --> 00:35:14,857
That suggests a loss of control
and incompetence.
683
00:35:14,988 --> 00:35:16,900
The optimal phrase is just
"terrorist attack."
684
00:35:17,032 --> 00:35:18,342
It makes us look like victims, right?
685
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:20,528
Victims are sympathetic.
People like them.
686
00:35:21,202 --> 00:35:22,283
O-okay.
687
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:25,746
Aaron, you met the Ukrainian
ambassador in a hotel.
688
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:28,742
Uh, Ukraine already has
an inferiority complex, right?
689
00:35:28,877 --> 00:35:32,370
Then you went and told them
that they can't set foot in the citadel.
690
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:34,247
They're a proud people.
691
00:35:34,382 --> 00:35:35,873
Symbols matter to them.
692
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:38,884
And once you offend them,
oh, God...
693
00:35:39,012 --> 00:35:40,052
- I didn't...
- And, Emily,
694
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,423
you were worried about the optics of the
President meeting Elias Grandy, that
695
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:45,800
- he would make the President look weak...
- Exactly.
696
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,216
...but embracing a critic makes
the President look strong,
697
00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:50,479
and you want that embrace to be public.
698
00:35:50,607 --> 00:35:53,145
You want to tell the world
this man reaches out to everybody,
699
00:35:53,276 --> 00:35:54,892
even his fiercest critics.
700
00:35:55,028 --> 00:35:56,894
Because Tom Kirkman...
701
00:35:58,073 --> 00:35:59,234
is everyone's president.
702
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,074
So, what do you think?
703
00:36:05,288 --> 00:36:08,326
I-I think he would be, um, an asset.
704
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:11,792
Yes. Uh, he'd be a great addition, sir.
You should bring him aboard.
705
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,752
Good, 'cause I already have.
706
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,793
I have to be honest, Em,
at first, I was a bit skeptical,
707
00:36:16,925 --> 00:36:18,962
but you're right...
he's on to something.
708
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:22,758
Inspiration is fundamental to what
we're doing here in this building.
709
00:36:23,098 --> 00:36:24,464
Couldn't put it better, sir.
710
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,307
Well, you're gonna have to try
if you want to get paid around here.
711
00:36:27,435 --> 00:36:28,676
- Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
712
00:36:30,105 --> 00:36:33,143
Mr. President,
you're needed in command ops.
713
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:35,231
There's been a development.
714
00:36:39,072 --> 00:36:41,314
- Ten-hut!
- Please, everybody sit.
715
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:42,690
What have you got?
716
00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:44,362
Sir, this happened moments ago.
717
00:36:48,665 --> 00:36:51,157
An oxygen canister that was
brought on for a passenger
718
00:36:51,292 --> 00:36:54,410
was accidentally ignited
by a spark from the tramway.
719
00:37:00,468 --> 00:37:01,675
Any fatalities?
720
00:37:01,803 --> 00:37:03,135
Just two.
721
00:37:03,263 --> 00:37:05,004
Passengers
had already deplaned,
722
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:08,349
except for a doctor who was
ministering to a sick man.
723
00:37:33,001 --> 00:37:35,539
Everyone, if I could just have
your attention, please.
724
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:40,836
I-I just wanted to take a moment
and thank you for your hard work today.
725
00:37:41,509 --> 00:37:43,922
We managed to avoid
an international crisis,
726
00:37:44,053 --> 00:37:45,794
and we saved a lot of lives.
727
00:37:47,348 --> 00:37:48,759
But I, uh...
728
00:37:48,892 --> 00:37:51,009
I didn't get everyone home, though.
729
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:56,139
As some of you might know already,
I had a friend on that plane...
730
00:37:58,485 --> 00:38:00,522
one of the two people
who were killed.
731
00:38:02,530 --> 00:38:05,989
He dedicated his life
to helping other people.
732
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:09,117
Not for fortune or fame,
733
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:12,033
but... because whenever he saw pain,
734
00:38:12,165 --> 00:38:15,374
he would have to do whatever he could
to try and ease it.
735
00:38:17,086 --> 00:38:19,920
His focus and commitment to that ideal
736
00:38:20,715 --> 00:38:23,833
will be an inspiration to me
for the rest of my life.
737
00:38:26,179 --> 00:38:29,217
You have all dedicated
yourselves to public service,
738
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:34,727
and you serve approximately
326 million Americans,
739
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:39,562
most of whom
you'll never meet or ever know.
740
00:38:40,276 --> 00:38:43,189
It is imperative that we not become numb.
741
00:38:44,197 --> 00:38:45,938
The people that we serve, they...
742
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:48,441
they have faces,
743
00:38:49,202 --> 00:38:51,819
families, hopes and dreams...
744
00:38:54,582 --> 00:38:55,914
...and stories.
745
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,500
And they are our fellow Americans,
746
00:38:58,628 --> 00:39:00,995
and by virtue of that bond alone,
747
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:03,497
they are worthy of our sacrifice,
748
00:39:03,633 --> 00:39:05,545
our commitment, and our service.
749
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:12,632
I'm talking as much to myself
as I am to any of you.
750
00:39:14,561 --> 00:39:15,768
I'm sorry, I...
751
00:39:17,397 --> 00:39:19,480
I came in here to thank you
752
00:39:19,607 --> 00:39:22,395
for your incredible work today, so...
753
00:39:22,986 --> 00:39:24,272
thank you.
754
00:39:24,404 --> 00:39:25,815
And good night.
755
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:33,572
Booyah.
756
00:39:42,797 --> 00:39:43,797
Hey.
757
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:46,923
You did your best.
758
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:50,420
My best wasn't good enough.
759
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:52,968
It was an accident.
760
00:39:53,433 --> 00:39:54,969
He was trying to help someone.
761
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:57,976
Otherwise, he would have gotten
off the plane.
762
00:39:59,022 --> 00:40:01,264
- I need to call Rena.
- I spoke with her,
763
00:40:01,858 --> 00:40:06,023
and she wanted you to know
that Russell understood.
764
00:40:07,655 --> 00:40:09,521
He was never mad at you.
765
00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:17,492
Patch me through, please.
766
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:22,659
Rena, it's Tom.
766
00:40:23,305 --> 00:40:29,685
