All language subtitles for The Diplomat S03 E01

Hal, listen to me. Say nothing. He's

dead, Kate. Don't tell them anything at

all. They know up there. I was talking to

the doctors. What did you tell them?He

was looking for a glass of water.

He was thirsty. He seemed dehydrated. Say

that. He seemed dehydrated. Say as little

as possible. Do you hear me?Okay. As

little as possible. Okay.

Lyric is steward in the car of the MC

walking perimeter. Yes, ma'am.

What happened?That's

not a secure line. This is a seizure in

Medicine. Swept and posted. Is he dead?

What the **** happened?

Repeat that?

Ma'am, President Rayburn died four

minutes ago.

How did they secure the speaker of the

house?Yes, ma'am. This space can't

support encrypted communications. We're

running a perimeter check to make sure

the building is secure. Then we'll set up

a portable skiff in a larger area. Okay.

Go ahead.

Clear. Moving arrows.

Mr. Hayden. Hi. I'm on my way to

the FC. We are putting up a skip. Once

you are in it, call Bert. Yeah.

Cell phones, please.

Sorry, sir.

They have her?Yeah. But it's

Kate. We need more than that, please, at

the residence. Madam President.

Heart attack?They think. Everyone sit

down, please. So pericarditis was

back a couple of weeks ago?He thought

he'd pick it up, but he doesn't sleep, he

doesn't drink water and ******* salt. Was

he having chest pains?I don't know. He

was in a meeting in the Oval and his

agent said that... He was meeting in here?

In the Sit Room?He stepped out to take

the phone call in the Oval. Was he alone?

Agents outside his window saw him

collapse. Where are we with the enhanced

security package?Let police check on the

streets outside the residence. I don't

want their people. I want ours. We'll

have both. We're pulling in a team from

Rome. How long will that be?Get her on a

plane. Who was he talking to?I don't

know. It wasn't on the schedule. We're

calling the switchboard. Are they not

picking up?They got a lot going on right

now. Well, that makes two of us. Is

Craig in there?I'm going to say we can go

ahead and interact with my husband.

President Rayburn was on the phone with

Hal. I'd like

to get the president out of here.

I'd like to call him. See you and get

your story straight?He's debriefing with

half the White House. I think we want him

quiet. How about I

won't talk to him?I'll call the chief of

station.

Get the chief of station on the line.

I'll do it. No, you won't.

Is the ship stationed in the building?We

can't put the president on the plane we

have here. What?It doesn't have the

counts package. We're scrambling

747-9,000. Washington.

14 hours until she's back?More like 16.

No, not okay. We need to swear her in

like now. And not on foreign soil. On the

plane?Is the plane America?The plane is

not America. Then when we hit American

airspace. That's still 12 hours from now.

The embassy is, right?It's American soil.

It's not. People come to the embassy and

claim asylum because it's American soil.

And then they don't get asylum because

it's not AmericanShe's already president.

She was president the moment he stopped

breathing. You don't want to explain the

25th Amendment to North Korea. You want

to publish a picture of her with one hand

in the air and another on the Bible. You

have to do it here. I'm okay if you don't

talk. She's right. We need to do this

within the hour. At Windview?Or the

Embassy.

It's formal, it's a ceremonial space.

Podium, a couple of flags, we're good to

go. Or the embassy. A movie's arrest. The

embassy is a fortress with Marines and a

moat. Based on her analysis of my safety,

she would strongly prefer no move. The

embassy is granite slabs and soaring

ceilings and a 12-foot eagle on the wall.

It is a not at all subtle monument to

American power.

Ma'am, we're not swearing you in front of

18th century hand-painted wallpaper. It

makes you look like someone's granny.

We're going to do it at the embassy. He

was pulling at his collar.

Was he having trouble breathing?Yeah,

absolutely. But earlier in the

conversation. It's hard to recall when.

Mr. Weiler, I'm Lyle Javits of DOJ. Did

the president mention anything about his

physical condition when the call began?

I'm tired. I have a headache. I'll

try to remember. No, I don't think he

did. You said earlier to Dr. Kalevko that

the president had complained of

dehydration. Yes.

yes

we have an unspecified threat we'd like

you to up your alert levels and put as

many eyes as you can spare on Winfield

and the embassy it's unspecified to you

or you're not specifying it to me the

ladder they're coming here

when now and the ambassador is on the

phone I I got to go will you

just what as soon as I can give you more

I will yeah go

Kate. Where is he?Miss Skiff. He's

talking to the doctors and the FBI. Get

him out of there. It's an important

debrief. I will have him call you as soon

as... I don't want to talk to him. He

can't be talking to anyone at all.

I can't interfere with him questioning

the last guy. Who the ****?It was wrong

with the president. Howard set

up the call. I asked you to connect up to

the Secretary of State. Using Miss Skiff,

who did he give a call to theI am not any

happier than you are.

President Penn is changing locations and

not yet secured. How is rattled. He may

inadvertently share some information that

may compromise the President.

What's he gonna say that a car?I swear to

God to get him off the *************

line. Howard,

kill it.

Who's gonna tell the country?You.

Billy. she's the president of the United

she's not on the scene she's in a foreign

capital taking refuge in a 46 room cream

puff I'll handle it

or Liz can do it national security

advisor is a less partisan figure I don't

think anyone's going to make a partisan

read on this announcement he didn't like

you Miguel it's not going to be you can

we have the national security advisor

step in Billy's the person he was closest

to as a citizen I'd want to hear it from

her she was there she talked to the

doctors she saw the body

It's you. Yeah. And now, otherwise we'll

be dealing with conspiracy theories about

why we waited. Okay, not till we move

her. She's right. No one is watching you

right now. How are you getting there?

Tilos. Plural?Yes.

They're here?Go.

****. Yes, ma'am.

What were you talking to him about?It was

private. Not anymore. It's not. It

doesn't matter what's important. It

matters to everyone in the world. I am

one of 400,000 people who will

ask you, over the course of your life,

what were you talking about when the

president dropped dead?

Okay. You told me you wanted to place a

call to the Secretary of State. Yes.

Did the President call you?

No. He didn't call the Secretary. He

asked me to place a call to the White

House switchboard instead. And you just

did?It has nothing to do with him. That's

actually not the case. I didn't think we

did him.

Peter Clark. Ma'am. Yes, I do.

Tell the White House they're approaching

the building right now. Madam

President, the White House would like to

go for the announcement. Let's get her

some place so she can launch it. Just

give us 30 seconds to get her situated.

Hang on. What are we

talking about?We have a hold. Stand by.

Gary, is this perimeter or internal?We're

waiting on a security hold. Yes, but we

will let the president to be able to

watch the announcement.

Edra Park?No, I think it's a double check

that we don't want anybody rushing right

now. Lock it off. She's inside the

building. She's in a secure space inside

the embassy.

Yes. White House needs to

go. Edra?

Ma'am?

The

President of the United States has died.

President William Trusselldied 14 minutes

ago at 7:42 a.m. of cardiac arrest

in the Oval Office. He was 77 years old.

With the President, the time of

his death... The Ambassador's office will

be Command and Control. The President,

Cassett Stenson, Dr. Tuesday Williamson

of the White House Medical Unit...

Secure videos in the CIA station. This is

encrypted. Her?Except for her.

Ambassador?

What the **** did he say to the president?

I don't know. Why did he call him?

I don't know. I did not know this was

coming. Gabriel?

Get Hal Wyler. I can get him. No, you

can't.

Is there something else?I want you right

where I can see you.

The lobby or Constitution Hall?Which one

has the big thing on the wall?Oh, the

lobby has a very big seal and

Constitution Hall has a 50-foot high

rendition of the Constitution. But with

like a pop art feel to it, right?Well, I

mean, kind of. No. Doesn't lack

gravity. If the narrative is new dawn,

fresh leadership... No, no, the narrative

is old and soggy and not any different

than President Rayburn. Lobby.

It would be nice if it had a name. Mike.

Constitution Hall sounds like something.

Lobby sounds like dentist. What do you

want to call it?I don't know. Seal Hall?

No. Hall of the Great Seal?Better.

Where are we going with the lobby?The

Hall of the Great Seal. Which is the

lobby?Then let's call it the lobby. Last

gravitas. In the unlikely event of a

situation, I want to be able to say, Get

her out of the lobby. And everyone knows

what I mean. Lobby it is. Space

holds... 75. Well, standing in the

space holds 75. 30.

It's going to look like nobody's there.

If she's drowning in the space, she's

going to seem insignificant. She will be

surrounded by Marines. We're not going

for military junta. I want it to look

full, with a bunch of people in business

who's making it clear that civil

authorities executing a civil transition

of power. The entryway right

here is not in front of a 10-story wall

of windows. Are you worried about the

shooters?It's got bulletproof glass.

Great. Then it's the big lobby packed

with people, please. Thank you. Yes,

ma'am. We are going to the lobby.

I killed him. No. I...

I did. No, you didn't. I told him the

false flag attack was your... How?

So he saw everything, that happened very

fast. He turned white, he stood up,

his heart stopped. What the **** did you

think you were doing?I thought I was

warning the commander-in-chief. He had a

rogue deputy, which he did. Jesus Christ.

I swore enough to protect the

Constitution. When I said those words, it

was a commitment, not a poem. He was the

hand and shield of that document. Does he

hear himself?He didn't

kill the president. Was she involved?No.

Then you may leave. The president

authorized a double tap airstrike on a

Houthi base last week. It turned out to

be full of child soldiers. He supported a

regime in Niger that's slaughtering its

own citizens. If he was too fragile for

bad news, he was no longer the man for

the job.

No! Who

are you going to tell next?Noah. Well,

for the sanctity of the Kingdom of

Heaven, maybe the Fed Chair needs to

know. The President needed to know. And

now the President knows.

You could throw him in jail if you want

or both of us. But we are no longer your

problem. You have a lot of otherproblems.

Nora?For

pulling up the joint keys, we have

something entering our airspace for

anchorage. They think it's nothing, but

they want you on the line if they're

wrong. Yep, I have her.

How far inland?Ma'am.

Okay.

the narrative is legitimacy narrative is

five minutes old should be a judge

swearing the president he wants you to do

it you are the highest ranking American

on site your building two women it is a

powerful image get a judge

the PM's on the phone that's Andrew

Mitchell Third Circuit in town for a

wedding tall 511 book them why am

I the only feminist in the room I'm a

feministCleared my diary.

How can I be of service?Thank you, sir.

What time were you thinking?

For... Swearing her in.

MI6 says it's soon. As it should be.

That's extreme. It's extremely

thoughtful, sir, but to drop your

government schedule for an event of

twenty people... A crowd of two, ten or

ten thousand. The point is that I stand

with her, in her honour

and in his. His

legs astrid the ocean.

His reared arm crested the world.

His voice was propitied as all the tune

of spheres. No,

no for this. It's the defining image of

her presidency. Can we get him out of the

photo?

Rustling photo. That's

beautiful, sir. How is she?Sorry. Uh,

I am so sorry, sir. Just one second.

King James, pocket edition?No.

Better.

But it looks like a Bible. A

real Bible, adult size,

written by Jesus.

I... Please forgive me, sir. You alone?

Yes. Jesus did not write the Bible.

That's an excellent point. Is she steady?

Uh... That's the right answer, isn't it?

If she's fine, she's a monster. If she's

upset, she's an hysteric. Indeed. Philip,

I apologize. You wanted to

return Margaret Roylan to our custody. We

declined. I understand. It's

complicated. We'll take her. You have a

whole plate.

That's not necessary, sir. I'll speak to

the Met Police. Tell the President, but I

arranged it.

Hey.

You okay?

You were amazing. Don't.

She's not blaming me, right?Can I not

think about you for a second right now?

I'm trying to figure out I ain't a

******* lawyer. Whether or not she blames

me matters, legally. I blame you. Yeah,

so do I. A terribly flawed woman is

not the president. And only we know just

how flawed. So I have to be her *******

VP just so we can keep an eye on her.

Don't you be happy?It's a *******

travesty.

Morning, Secretary.

Hello?My god, Cage. Yeah. I'll

be in this condition. Thank you. I

was terribly short with you. I don't

know. Don't worry about it. It's

inexcusable. I earned it. And now

Mika's forcing himself, and he'll say how

many. It's really, it's okay. It isn't.

I'd come too, but the two of us is

probably worse, so...

Come.

All right. It's better if there's two of

you. It doesn't seem like she's under the

sway of a particular... Yes.

He offered to take Roiland off our hands.

True, Rich. Do

you think he's gonna have...?Huh?

I know I've accused him of that before,

and it wasn't true. He run on that

with these ain't eyes. I have no idea

what he's gonna do.

Hey. She's going to be

Grace's VP. Kate?

Grace asked. Not yet. But Kate's the

right choice. Get on it. Talk to Nora.

Make sure that Kate is on Air Force One

when it lands in DC. She needs to walk

off the plane right behind the president.

That's premature. Well, it's a troubling.

But the papers will assume it means

something. Then you get a public vetting,

private vetting at the same time. Says

her up for a past confirmation.

It's a plastic moment. This is when you

can make things happen.

Even if the NFC says it's not Indian, you

should talk to the Post, off record.

Yes, they're looking into China and

prepared to remove it by force.

If we can hold ourselves together for an

hour, it will drop on its own. Now,

Carolyn Rayburn, everyone,

let's go for some space. I'm gonna have

to call you back.

Oh my god. Carolyn, this can't be

happening.

Shut the ******* blind. I'll get it.

I'm the frame between the two doors.

No, I want you to.

Stewart says you're not swearing her in.

You tell her you want to be her VP?

The job is making her life easier, which

I am doing. I'm not walking around in the

middle of a constitutional crisis with a

resume stapled to my forehead. Sorry, Mr.

Liler. Mrs. Rayburn would like to speak

to you when she's off with the president.

She wants to offer asylum to Margaret

Oylan. You still have her?Yeah. In

a safe house?I had to move her,

but... Yeah, another safe

house. Tell her we'll find her a cottage

in Vermont. It'll look just like the

Cotswolds. No, it won't.

Why?I didn't want to ask.

Really?She's on the phone with a *******

presidential widow.

Trowbridge is ready to take Roiland off

her hands. This is probably

safer.

I don't think she should pull the trigger

on this before we can talk to Langley and

Dear J... She's the most powerful person

in the world and she feels totally

powerless. I'm not telling her no right

now. Just put the offer through and we'll

deal with the rest tomorrow. You want

this to happen now?Ceremony's not till

four. Take hell with

you. And vow he is good with her. He

called the president from my skip without

my knowledge or approval. And now he's on

the phone consoling the president's wife.

How good a yes.

I think we're good, right?I'm waiting.

The Ambassador should get on the plane

with you. It's looking like...

you know. I don't.

Vice President.

No?Where did he hear that?Well, it's not

like it's a lock, but...

the Ambassador's husband.

The President hasn't mentioned anything?

No. Big day.

Yeah. Of course.

Eventually. The judge is here on

vacation. He hasn't traveled above. Neil,

I swear to God, a church,

a Harry Potter store, anything.

Water or...

I'm so very sorry.

Now she's...

President.

The United States would like to offer you

asylum.

Does the vice president- The president.

Does she know about this offer?It was her

idea. You

have enemies in this country.

I have enemies everywhere. Not in the

United States, you don't. You'll never

breed easy in this country again. In the

United States, I'll be perfectly safe.

Grace Penn is your President.

Hi, Regency.

There was a sticker.

Let's go. Good, ma'am.

The role?I don't want

to know.

Ma'am?Ma'am?Yeah. The ambassador needs

something from her safe. Is it all right

if she... Yeah, it's fine.

I look like a matrigy.

What about the blouse you had on earlier?

The soaking was it weeks of fear.

Take it off.

The last two.

No.

Turn.

With nothing.

Button it.

I killed him. Not your husband.

No. Take out a good man and a great

president. That's not what happened. Of

course it is. He heard what I did and his

heart halted. You can disagree with

me. You don't have to kiss my ***. You're

the one who accused me of a terrorist

plot. I never

said that. That's right. You accused me

of botching a terrorist plot. I

said I would have done the same thing.

And yet you were trying to replace me

with you. As

vice president, you were replaceable.

In your current role, you are not.

You didn't kill the president now. You

made a tough call. In hindsight, nobody

likes it, you included.

Look out the door.

Judge Andrew Mitchell of the Third

Second. Madam President, it's an honor.

What a terrible way to meet you. Thank

you for your service. Of course.

What did Robin say?She just said to her.

She'll say this.

Ambassador.

Oh, thank you,

sir. Thank you. We have a place reserved

for you and the Foreign Secretary. Pardon

me?I'm so sorry. We need to have a camera

angle that doesn't contain a meter of

another nation. We are so grateful to

you. But the American people need to see

an exclusively American image. I will

clear your photograph. I have a gift for

them. That's extremely helpful. She needs

it now. Sir, we are about to begin. I

know she would love to see it.

1455. The

Guttenberg Bible.

I. I, Grace Hagen Penn.

Do solemnly swear. Do solemnly swear.

That I will faithfully execute the office

of President of the United States. That I

will faithfully execute the office of

President of the United States. and will

to the best of my ability and will to the

best of my ability preserve

protect and defend the Constitution

of the United States preserve protect

and defend the Constitution of the United

States

did you um tap a VP no

you don't think I would have mentioned it

yes rulers flying

I'm readyDo you want me to

look into climate?He's the governor of

Pennsylvania. It's not like he hasn't

been vetted. Yeah, it's not today's

problem. Literally everything else in the

world is today's problem.

Welcome, sir. Thanks. Come on in. How was

the flight?Kind of a blur.

You will have to speak with the chief of

staff. I just need one minute at a time.

30 seconds. He's

here.

Al Wilder, ambassador's wife. *** ****

first lady. They put her in the

ambassador's office. Sit

here. I'll show you the corner of the

office where the husband sits and tries

not to look diminished.

Holy ******* ****. Holy ******* ****.

I don't know.

I'll get out of here. I'm so sorry. I

just need to have a second. I need to

make sure you understand that my wife is

your vice president. Every misery

you've suffered at our hands has been me,

not her. Her pleasure, your job. That was

my idea. She hated it from the jump. The

call to the president she knew nothing

about. She would never have allowed it.

She is the fiercest advocate you will

ever have, and she is effective. It's not

the most rousing term ever used in a

panel to leadership, where you want

something, you tell her, and it's done.

You don't believe me?Put her on the

plane, start betting while you're in the

air, leak her name at the Times in the

post, and by the time you hit the ground,

you're going to already know what the

public thinks of her.

I don't want to share her with you,

Grace, but I will. You can't do this

without her.

Did you warm the pot?I heated the pot,

threw out the water, I put in new hot

water. Finally, he learns. You bought

more biscuits if you want to go crazy and

have a third. Unnecessary, thank

you. Yeah, if it's disappointing and

something I can't imagine.

Ambassador?She'd like to speak with you.

Sir, could you join us?

This is going to be a pain point, and I

apologize for that. I know it's

complicated.

Powell, I'd like you to be my

vice president.

.

Thank

you.
