What happened?Is he dead?What the ****

happened?Ma'am, President Rayburn died 4

minutes ago. Madam

President, who was he talking to?

President Rayburn was on the phone with

Hal. I killed him. I told him the false

flag attack was your... Hal, what the

**** did you think you were doing?I

thought I was warning the

commander-in-chief. He had a rogue

deputy. A terribly flawed woman is not

the president, and only we know just how

flawed. So I have to be ******* VP just

so we can keep an eye on her. You wanted

to return Margaret Boylan to our custody.

I will take her. She wants to offer

asylum to Margaret Boylan. I don't think

she should pull the trigger on this

before we can talk to Langley. Just put

the offer through, and we'll deal with

the rest tomorrow. The United States

would like to offer you asylum. You have

enemies in this country. I have enemies

everywhere. Al Weller, Ambassador's wife.

I've been First Lady. I need to make sure

you understand that my wife is your vice

president. This is going to be a pain

point, and I apologize for that. I know

it's complicated. Pal,

I'd like you to be my vice president.

Hey?

President, is she here?

Hey!

It should have been you.

I told her, I said, you got the wrong

one. I don't

know what it is. They're too ******* ****

to put two women in the White House,

which I don't agree with, obviously, but

I can understand that's not about grace,

that's about the country. She knows if

she picks me, she gets both of us. I'm a

compilation prize, that's all it is.

She wanted an answer. She wanted me on

air response, but I

wouldn't do it. I said we need to talk

about it.

So let's talk about it.

This is an opportunity. to make a start

on cleaning up the mess with in

Afghanistan done you want to do with

Iran I will have a portfolio you tell me

what to put in there I mean you said you

want to keep an eye on it right well you

will have a desk in my office I'll be

cutting ribbons in Akron you will be in

the White House watching what she does

all the time or tell me to say no and I

will say no

I mean it I will call Billy

I don't want this unless you want it to.

Just

tell me what to say.

Say yes.

Open.

One guy. No, it's not. It's not on the

table. No. You know what?**** ***.

Oh, here it comes. It's not rational. But

there's Princeton over there with a

******* ***** with a baby carrot where

*** **** should be. You're saying no like

you believe it's rational. My friend, you

can only **** with *** **** you're given.

What about the guy from Stankoff?He

doesn't want to talk about it here at

Oldenville. He wants to show up, admire

the problem, and leave. Sir, we put a

government in its seat. The moment it

seeks justice for one of the most

notorious butchers in the country's

collective memory, we take him into

protective custody. Please, yes, you. How

do you feel about baby carrots?He's

concerned it's disingenuous. I'm

concerned. We have one viable secular

party in the race, and if we let the

committee, who's shilling for the Shia

coalition, who's shilling for Iran,

execute Yusuf Hamidi, we are handing them

the election. Shia Wilson's not going to

suing Ambar. Iran doesn't want a

secular Iraq. They want a weak sectarian

Iraq and they are prepared to pay for it.

They bought the committee. They scared

the teeth out of the high commission.

This is all they need.

Sir, I don't think we came here to take a

trillion dollar **** and light it on

fire. The trouble is, you never know

what she's thinking.

Ambassador. Keep him. Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Don't go. It's having a rough one. It

won't. I'm going to drop the cable and I

will get it to you in the morning. Okay.

Oh. The

sun isn't the most stressful, but...

She is a striking figure.

Oh, I procured extras for Keith State.

Did they say anything at the gate?About

the new president. About Kate?If you're

concerned, we'll have someone call her

detail and get her coordinated. She's not

missing. She's not missing. She's not

here. She's with her details. She's fine.

They didn't hear anything from her detail?

Not since I came home duty. But if they

had any concerns about us... I don't give

a **** about their lack of concern.

Hi. I was just about to brief you and

your husband on the next steps. Great.

Vetting you for vice president is going

to be an extremely complicated process.

I've been vetted before. Not like this.

We have a 15 person legal team starting

the day. If you get a call from the

counsel's office day or night, answer it.

What about Kate?Should we vet it too?No,

what's her portfolio?

We'll have an ongoing dialogue with the

first gentleman to divvy up events. No,

not a second lady as a foreign policy

expert knocking around the White House.

Of course, um...

The Museum of American Diplomacy. They,

um... They have a building, but they

don't have the funds to do anything with

it. They need a champion.

Mm. Do you have any idea what my wife

did in Baghdad or Kabul?Don't. She

should be brokering an 83-part

peace plan for Yemen. We'll reflect that

back... You should make her *******

secretary of state! That's Miguel

Gannon's job. So make her my chief of

staff. You can do that, can't you?That's

my job. Is it?

Trust me, we are both surprised. Enough.

Take us through the questionnaire.

Kate?Stop!

We will find a role for you, okay?Not the

******** Curly was on about something

real. We'll set the foreign policy agenda

for the next decade. You

need to fill out Ellie's questionnaire,

and then you need to talk to her about

your role, not mine. The president

chose you because you are apolitical and

you can help with foreign policy, but

also because you look good in photos, and

that on its own might be enough. If you

want it to be more than that, if you want

to own a region,or join the war council,

you need to negotiate that as a condition

of your acceptance right now. I have to

go back on my office. I

want org charts for NSC

and state with names. Okay.

AndA call with Billy Appiah. We're going

to need to go to the embassy. Uh, I set

out 15 minutes on Friday to discuss the

compliment. No, she'll call now. It's the

first day of the Grove-Penn presidency.

Her chief of staff is booked.

Then I want you to e-mail her and tell

her I'm turning down the job.

Shred.

Shred. I have to tell the

Brits. That you're leaving?

They all want a reason, and they can't

know about how before it's public.

That's right.

Call them from D.C. I'm just gonna

pick up and go. It happens.

It's disrespectful. Hi.

Phone, emergency comms, ID, laptop. She

backed it up. We just need someone to

wipe it before we turn it in.

Yep. What else?Performance reviews. I can

handle most of them, but the top level.

Send me the list. Do you want a meeting

with the country team?or town hall?

To say what?Goodbye.

We'll do it though. I'll draft it. What

am I forgetting?The lobby. Right. Uh,

past ambassadors have their names

engraved in the lobby wall before

departure. We're doing that today?No, but

if we get a picture of you in front of

the spot, we can Photoshop the naming

later.

You want a photo of me in front of an

empty wall?I do. Why don't you just take

a picture of the wall and Photoshop me in

later?Edra's my height. You

can take her picture and just swap in my

face. Roiland is dead.

Theo found the body. No, no.

A lot of people wanted her dead while

she... No signs of coercion. The only

people she had contact with yesterday

were me, my team, and your husband.

How?We offered her asylum.

Why?

Do the birth to know?I haven't quite

figured out how to say a British citizen

killed herself in a CIA safe house she

wasn't supposed to be in. Are you?Gonna

get fired?Probably.

State will tell you to stay away from

this, and any decent lawyer will agree.

But if you stand by me on this, it

could make a difference.

I don't like asking for help

at all. But

you've built solid relationships here.

I'm leaving. I fly out tonight.

Grace didn't ask you to be her vice

president. She asked Hal.

I'll be...

I'll go with him. To

be...

the second lady.

So I have to go prep.

Hey. Hey. Want to take a look at this

table?Oh, you want me to?

Shut the door.

Sit down. That's supposed to be on his

desk in like 15 minutes.

Anything you want to tell me?No.

No. Why?

Just asking. Don't do that. It's not

fair. What?I am not your asset. I am your

friend. I don't want to feel like you're

analyzing my micro-movements every time

we talk. I'm not.

Okay, sorry. I'm being a

little offensive. Carol, come on. I

walked in the door defensive?No. You

walked in the door with a pair of

underwear sticking out the bottom of your

trousers.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my

god.

Sorry, I'm just hearing you. Yeah, all

yours. Calling Billy. Great.

Congratulations. I haven't

said yes yet. Isn't that what we're doing

right now?I hope so. Just got a couple of

questions. You're going from unemployed

to first in the line of succession. Are

you telling me that you have terms?You

knew about Grace Penn and the carrier

attack and you didn't tell the president.

Yes, I have terms.

You should have told him. I didn't tell

him because I thought it would kill him.

You kept information from the president

and you drummed up a scandal to dump his

EP. You don't want to play chicken with

me, Billy. What do you

want?Job for Kate.

The real one. If she wasn't in reopening

relations with Tablo, you could start...

The East is out. All it takes to drag us

into war is someone blowing up the Second

Lady. She could rebuild the Iran deal,

or start trade, or both. Make her the

nuclear czar. Non-proliferation is a

problem for Tennessee and New Mexico. We

can't call her nuclear or anything. We'll

call it something else.

Stiller?It's Reuters and

CNN. We wrote a leaky

faucet I want back in.

I'll be right back. How'd it go?

Great. You got board canceled?

What?No. We were scheduled for an

OIG assessment. You don't want an

assessment without a chief of station to

back you up. Can you cancel?We can

request a delay. I have them start with

the consulate in Belfast.

Um... Sorry, I'm

gonna need a few minutes.

China has a special envoy in Europe.

Sounds like a short offensive, but you

know where to spend his time?Russia in

Ukraine. Jobs, a cover story and a

flying check. You can take on

construction in Ukraine, you can find

out. Man, we've been trashed the

biggest peacetime alliance in human

history. You're going to bring it back to

life. What about second lady?

Do both. I was going to say no to a

meeting with a second lady.

I told you it was going to be okay. Yeah,

I thought you were full of ****.

It's going to be okay.

Churchill said Burton is the only nation

that likes being told bad news, so here

it is. I have submitted my letter of

resignation as ambassador to the court of

St. James. That's great. If Churchill is

too on the nose, I have something from

Disraeli, but it's long. Can you, uh...

Yeah.

I wrote your performance review. I told

them to keep you here until the new guy's

on his feet and then get you out.

Make you an ambassador.

It's... wow. It'll

be someplace small to start out. You

don't want your first time to be in a

place like this.

Damn. I don't know what to say.

There's another option.

Okay. The President is

appointing me Special Envoy to Europe,

right after Hal Sornan. That's...

Congratulations. I

couldn't ask you to come with me, Second

Lady. But this...

Wow. Yeah.

Special Envoy. The

title is vague, but that's the point. I

mean, Europe doesn't stop after

Germany. It's a blank check. As

in funding?No, I mean, um,

well, we're still figuring that out, but

it is what we make it.

So, oversight the state or White

House?I don't know.

Um, you're my first thought. We gotta

come up with a list of questions.

I mean, that sounds incredible.

That's a no. No,

ma'am, I'm so sorry. No, no, no.

Don't be, don't be. US Special Envoy, you

are gonna do great things, but as your

deputy, if I don't know how we're being

funded or staffed,

I could be an ambassador. It's what

I've been working towards for 20 years.

Yeah.

Me too.

Ma'am.

Is this what you want?Yeah.

What have you seen?

An Airbus. Two

Dreamliners.

I'm not going to D.C.

She asked. I said no.

I am going to help you through this.

I won't let you be the punching bag.

That's why you said no?It's not why, but

yeah. It's partly why.

Okay, lay it on me. I should have asked

you. I'm making unilateral decisions on a

relationship in which you are also a

voting party. Stuart.

You are the sweetest person I have ever

met.

I thought it was an act when I first met

you.

I was worried that I was not the right

person for a guy who was...

so kind and good-hearted and...

oblivious. It was nice for a

second there. I can't

keep protecting you from me.

You don't have to. You're right. It's an

act. I can be an ice-hearted

************ when I need to be. Oh, my

God. She is not leaving the building

without a blow-by-blow statement on her

role in every inflection point with

Roiland. Gannon does not want to ****

with a brand-new Second Lady. I'll take

it to him. He'll talk to Number 10. I'll

talk to Dennison, who feels a deep

kinship with me for reasons that need no

explanation. Star. Kate,

can help me through this, because Carl

Bridge loves her. The denison wants to

book her. Nobody gives a **** about

Gannon. And nobody gives a **** about

you.

Don't worry. They don't give a **** about

me either.

Do you think you can hold your hand out

like you're gesturing to the name?

Lower. And just a little bit to

the left so you're not blocking the

imaginary R and Y. How'd

it go?Great!

Ma'am, I said you shouldn't talk to the

Brits today, but someone's going to tell

them about Roiland, and if you don't...

Then it's you. No, it's Eidra. And then

you're going to be straight

there.

Ambassador. Sir, I was hoping to get a

moment of your time. I have some news.

I'm afraid we're needed in the Commons.

Can we schedule something?Margaret

Roiland died yesterday evening.

She killed herself.

She was under constant supervision. Her

body was found quickly, but...

first matter of shepherds

she paid the boy to **** up my order

wanted to see if I was a soft body or if

I knew how to raise a stink

her first test

did your lot do this?

no he didn't

I wanted to kill her. Try it.

She survived me. She survived the end of

Empire. That's right. It's New Labour.

******* **** was supposed to have

medicine. Perhaps we'll continue this

inside. Why didn't you return it?

I told you to. Yesterday. That was

the intention. I should have done it

before the swearing in. That's my

mistake. Certainly is. What

do you intend to do about it?

I am leaving London. Stuart Hayford

will serve as charge until the president

can appoint a new... You're leaving. I'll

perhaps tell your president that I

understand the logic of firing you for

gross negligence and I appreciate the

gesture but as it happens it's not what I

******* want.

That is not why I'm leaving. Then why?

It's a new administration. There will be

a job shuffle. Deputy

Secretary?No.

DNSC?There will be an announcement in a

few days. Soil the bed and disappear. I

expected more from you, though I honestly

don't know why.

Sir, it has been an honor. Best of

luck. And may the road rise up and get

kicked in a tist.

He has every right to be upset, as youdo.

I am so sorry. It's okay. It is

definitely not okay. We

had her in a safe house. We had one job.

Wait.

Are you all right?

Sorry, sweet much.

When did you leave?Tonight.

I am not going to work at Shape. I am

going to be my husband's wife.

That's what you... Want?

Apparently. That's what I keep choosing.

In a few days you'll read about Hal in

the paper in this room. I'll make more

sense. Will it?I think so.

I hope so.

Sir...

This has been...

Yes. Indeed it has.

hey

Carol knows

because the underwear I couldn't find

this morning was in my pant leg and

apparently journeyed down to my ankle

over the course of the day okay really

I mean I think it's okay she's not going

to tell anyone the only one she tells

anything to is me but if if you're worried

Danny called.

They want me in Vienna.

We're starting secret talks with Syria.

They had a prisoner swap. No one thought

it was going to move the needle, but...

It did. That's great.

It's not going to move fast, Kate. No,

it's not. I'm not coming back here.

I'm going with you. No, you're not.

I like Austria. You don't. I have an

open mind. You definitely don't. I'll

work in the consular section. I will help

hikers find out if the hills really are

alive. You're not gonna blow up your

career. You should be doing my job. I'm

not having you stamp ******* vases.

Is this a fling?

No. Is this what you do?Are you *******

me because you go from post to post,

teaching the young and idealistic how to

fight for democracy by schooling them

with your magic penis?Jesus Christ. Yes

or no?

No. If you're done, say it.

Say, Sweetheart, this is fun,

but I'm done and I want to move on.

That's not what I want, Kate. What do you

want?

It's not rocket science, okay?We would be

a tandem couple like everyone else in the

******* service. I would stamp visas so

no one knows I'm actually working for the

Iran team, which could use some new

blood. It's got lacked by a computer

virus. You would get three years. I

would get three years. We'd go where you

had a great job, we'd go I had a great

job. Simplest math problem in the world.

If you don't want it, have the **** ****

to say you don't want it.

Floodlights at Andrews are bright. Why

not just went for the photos?Who were we

expecting?What was it on CNN?What did

they know about?Nothing. We took the BPCL

off the plane, that's the protocol, but

it still says United States of America

across the body, so hold it and be at the

top of the ASJS.

Actually, let's have you come out first.

Give them some solo shop. They should get

us together, all right?If she comes out

right behind you, we get both. I'll tell

you when to go. Can I jump in with a

question?I don't mean to interrupt, but,

uh... What if she's

not on the plane?Anybody bat an eye?

I mean, no, but... As a

hypothetical. What if she stayed in

London as ambassador?Is that

coming from state?At the moment, it's

coming from me. There is merit to her

staying until he's confirmed, but the

White House feels it. After the

confirmation. What if she just

stayed here?You are speaking for

the White House. I'm speaking for the

embassy. I mean, having steady

leadership. Stuart. Having her

leadership. You're asking if she can stay

in London permanently. She can fly to

D.C. for the big things. I mean, how

often do you really need her?Twice a

month?Once?The Office of Second Lady may

not be a hive of activity, but it is a

bit more involved than that. What else?

Tell me. We'll make a calendar. Word it

out. America ousted its monarchs. It left

a vacuum. If you don't fill it with a

little pomp and circumstance, if you

don't show the people what it means to be

a proud American family, some neo-fascist

calls out of the woodwork and takes the

empty throne. That's the job. You want to

word it out?Most American couples have

two careers. You can't survive on one

salary in this economy. So if she is

modeling the American family, let her

keep her job. It'll reflect the family

Americans actually have. She's not losing

her job. She's going to be special envoy

to Europe. I'm sorry?

Look, if she wants to stay in London and

be ambassador, we can make it work. But

the White House wants her to be special

envoy to Europe. That might require

accomplishment. It's Hilly's idea. Look.

She can go to D.C., we policy for all of

Europe, or she can stay in a shrinking

island kingdom that diddled its own

economy and rabble-roused its way to

global irrelevant. The only reason she

would choose Ambassador in London over

special ongoing D.C. is if she wanted to

be 3,000 miles away from me.

That's right. I

think we're good. Yeah.

Is that what you want to be?

3,000 miles apart?No.

You want a divorce?Yeah,

that's a stupid question. You've asked it

a hundred times. You most certainly do.

That's not what we're doing. We had a

secret relationship for 14

months. We

could have a secret divorce. A

separation. Maybe it official a couple

of years when I'm a husband.

That's what's right. Stay here.

Show up for photo ops. I'm going with

you, and I am begging you.

Please don't ask me to make you feel

better about it. I don't have it in

me.

Draft is on your desk. I'm not adding

extra words just to make it seem like you

spent a lot of time on it. I would like

you to marry me.

You want to do that?

On my way to the car, we'll wait.

You talked to the Brits?Yeah.

Thanks. I don't think it helped.

Tell the Director it all came from me. It

did?Exactly. I

had you offered Roman asylum. I had you

rush over before the surreal ends. They

won't blame the Second Lady. They can't.

Honey, from the Winfield Bees.

Thank you, Pensy. With much labor they

make such sweetness. May you always

remember your time here.

My phone. Oh, of

course.

You will be missed.

Idra, are we

okay?Yeah.

.

.

.

.

Byron.

I've done this for a number of

ambassadors. You were different. I'm

gonna try to lure you to DC.

I hope we get the host to back at

Wingfield.

Thanks for taking such good care.

The.
