Previously on The Oval. I am the President of the United States. No sir,

not. Who got the most security?

Whose money is this?

It is mine.

I just had to get it sorted first and then we'll be gone. Elijah.

You and Hunter are going down. Take this bitch away. You just wait, Eli!

We were going to talk about your list of crimes.

Sir. She's in shock as to why Eli was sleeping with Victoria.

It was just for work, Simone.

You lied to me.

No, I didn't lie.

You knew where the money was all along.

No, I didn't. I swear.

Where'd you find it, huh?

It was at Kareem's place.

Yeah, we were following you.

Give it to me.

Here, just take it. Here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, that is way more than what he owes us.

No, just take all of it and just leave me alone, please.

No, I'm not going to do that.

No, just take it, please.

Please, here, here, here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You don't get it, do you?

What? Just give me whatever money that's mine, all right?

All right.

Yeah, all right. Just take whatever money that's mine and put it in here.

All right.

Hey.

Hurry up. Hey.

You don't know who you're dealing with, do you?

I'm not dealing with anyone.

I don't know anything about any of this shit, okay?

Don't you lie to me, Sharon.

I'm not lying.

Come on. Here, here. And did you count it all?

Yes. Oh, you sure, huh?

Yes, it's separated in $100 ,000 bundles, so yes.

Okay. I don't understand why you don't just take all of it and leave me alone.

Because that's not mine.

Whoever that is, they're going to come back and they're going to be looking for

it. No, no, no, please, just take it, please.

You don't know what you just got yourself into.

talk about this?

Should I?

I don't think that you would want to.

Well, it looks like you have everything all figured out.

I do.

All right, well, you know, I'll just, um, I'll go on and head home.

Are you serious?

Well, I think that that's best.

Really?

Yeah. You know what? I will just... I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

What, Eli?

You finally take them down and you just want to go home?

So I'm supposed to be happy about all of this?

Yes.

I'm the president and you're the first lady. It's what we wanted.

Right, and you're just so sure.

So, Mom, what's this about?

How far did you have to go to make all of this happen, Eli?

I did what I had to do.

Right, even sleeping with her?

I ate it every second of it.

I see.

You see what?

I'm just supposed to be okay with all of this.

Huh? Well, it got us here.

Eli.

Wait. Weren't you the one who said they had to be stopped at all costs?

But not at the cost of our marriage.

Well, I... What?

I didn't know what the cost would be.

Okay? And honestly, our marriage wasn't all that great.

How could you even say that to me? We were happy.

No, no. You were happy.

No, that's not true. That's a lie.

No, you were happy. But I wasn't. You never believed in me.

That's not true.

It is. It is. You were micromanaging me on every front.

No, I didn't. Why do you even think that I didn't?

You did. You did. And you were nagging me constantly.

Nagging? Yes, nagging.

That's what you call what I was doing. You call it nagging you?

Well, how would you like to describe it?

I thought I was helping.

Well, you weren't.

Oh, right.

Right. You had Priscilla and Lily to do that, huh?

Well, They were the only ones I could trust.

Right.

See, you think you can just do whatever it is that you want, and I just have to

take it.

Well, apparently that's Bobby's job, right?

Oh, you need to stop with this whole Bobby thing, okay? It's getting old.

I don't even know who you are anymore.

I'm the same man that you married.

You know what?

Go on home.

Fine.

I will.

With Bobby, right?

You go to jail, Eli.

Absolutely your fault.

Will you shut the hell up? No, you did this.

Did I fuck the vice president?

Did I try and kill our son?

I had it handled.

Don't make me list all of the things that you did not have

handled.

My father get a thought of this.

Victoria.

What, Hunter?

May I ask you something?

What?

If your father is all -powerful and all -knowing,

where is he?

Hunter. No, answer the question.

Maybe this is his plan.

Victoria, he...

We know Eli cannot be present.

Maybe he wants Eli in power.

Yeah.

No, that's not it.

This is his plan.

He's angry with me.

Okay.

Speaking of anger...

You have to tie a rope around my neck and try to hang me?

That was fun.

Big son of a bitch. Yeah, you liked it?

You ain't gonna do shit about it.

Oh, no, you just wait.

Nah, nah, I ain't.

Okay, we need to, we need to... What? Come on now, it's just getting good. No,

no, no, no. It's not bad.

No, we, no.

Hunter, we need to, we need to, we need to... Stop and think about this.

We have to think our way out of this.

I already have a way out.

Yeah? What?

I'm not telling you.

If you don't, it'll fall apart.

Oh, is that what you think?

That's what I know.

Yeah?

Yeah. You go ahead and believe that.

Hunter, you need me to think of everything for you.

landed us here.

My father will get it handled.

Father can handle shit.

I'm gonna kill you.

Promises, promises.

Oh, well.

Why don't you use all that anger and figure out a real way out of here?

That's brilliant.

No, think about it.

You kill me, we're not getting back to the old.

Please, Alonzo, I don't... Oh.

Look who it is.

Oh, hell no.

Hey, Alonzo.

I didn't know you two were in separate cells.

Well, we are.

Put Jason in with me, and you and I can have a talk.

I need to find out where they want him to go. No, no, no, no. Put him in with

me, but, um... Let's talk. How you been, man?

I have to step out and make a call.

Alonzo! It's me, buddy.

Come on.

All the things I did for you. I'm sorry, sir. I can't talk to you. All the good

times we had. Sir.

Come on. You're not supposed to be here. Look, I don't recall you doing a thing

for me. Look at you right now.

You're like running this place.

Just, you know I need. Come here. Come on, Alonzo.

Look, I'm going to sit right back here. Let you put him in.

Not going to crowd you or nothing.

Just take care of your boy.

Come on, Alonzo.

I'll be right back.

Hello, son.

What did you talk to me?

What did I do?

You were so evil.

No, honey, I'm a good person.

Yes, the hell you are.

I was an angel.

Until I got pregnant.

Then I burst on a seat.

Mom, I still can't believe you tried to kill me.

No, that was your father.

Bullshit. That's a lie.

No, it's the truth.

No, you're the only one that wanted him dead.

You were by his side the whole time. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. That's all I went out to. Did you find whores and drugs and murder?

Yes, I did.

Whatever. And that's when you...

injected that poor cancer kid full of poison. I did not. Yes, you did. No,

Yes, you did.

Wait, Dad.

Did you know that that wasn't me in that hospital bed?

No.

And you didn't know that Mom was trying to poison me? No. That's why I wouldn't

have left.

Yes, you did.

No, I did not.

He did.

It's a lie. And he didn't care.

He doesn't care about you.

I'm telling you the truth, son.

Okay, stop it.

No, listen to me. No, shut up. I am telling you the truth.

You two are the worst parents in the whole world, and I hate you both.

I so wish they would have put you in the cell with me.

Well, yeah, Mom.

Yeah. You really wish that?

Mm -hmm.

You sure about that?

You think I'm scared of you?

No, Mom.

I know you are.

Come over here.

Come on.

I'll show you what fear looks like.

Don't do it.

Come on.

Okay, Jason.

Come on.

I want to see the fear in your eyes.

You okay?

You're making this way too easy for me, Mom.

You're lucky you're in this cell with me, son.

Yeah, we'll see about that, Dad.

I don't trust either of you.

Jason, I didn't lie to you.

He's incapable of telling the truth.

Well, this is the truth.

The only thing keeping you alive right now is being in this cell with me.

Get to the other side.

No, you want to be in this cell with me.

Come to mama.

Come on.

I guess we'll find out what happens soon.

Stop it, both of you.

Can you believe this?

No, I can't. I wasn't talking to you. All right, cut it out.

Why the hell is he here?

Sam. What?

He knows you were sleeping with his wife, so why the hell are you still

doesn't know anything, and neither do you.

I know you were sleeping with mine. Stop it, guys.

We are the smartest three on this damn team.

And if we fall apart, this all goes to hell, okay?

Yeah.

Well, they have to.

Yes, and how did they do that? Doesn't matter how.

It matters. Damn right it does.

It won't hold up any other way.

Just say that again.

I mean, are you telling me that they were better than us?

No,

no, no, no.

It looks that way.

Well, they're idiots if they think this is over.

I know it.

But all sons of bitches have a plan.

And a damn good one, too.

And they better know it, because Victoria will never stop.

Yeah, well, Hunter, you got to find a way to let Eli know.

Who's going to tell him?

Well, shouldn't we know what the plan is first before we make a decision?

How can we?

Oh, look at me?

All right, guys, we got to think like they would.

All right, look, if I was Hunter, I'd be on with the DOJ.

Right, but he can't get on the phone.

And all of his men are with him.

Are we sure that it's not one that's still left out there?

How can we be sure?

Is Alonzo with us?

Yeah, as far as I know. He's solid.

Okay. What about others?

Chief of Staff's guy?

Yeah. I don't know much about him.

Well, him and Alonzo are tight, right?

Yeah, they are.

Well, let's get with them and see what they got cooking on their end.

Okay. We gotta get surveillance down in that bunker.

Can we do that?

I mean, we're not supposed to.

Well, you better find a way to get something down there fast.

Yeah, because I'm sure all hell's breaking loose right about now.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Shit.

You've got to be kidding me.

Hey, what time are you getting off?

Why, Dale?

So I can pick you up.

I don't need a ride.

Oh, you got your car back?

No, actually, I got a promotion.

Really? Yeah, and that comes with a car ride out.

You serious?

Yeah.

Wow.

And higher security.

So what?

So why don't you tell me where you got that car from?

I told you.

I don't believe you.

Yes, I told you. Miss Nancy really bought it for me.

Just for no reason at all?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

I mean, she was mad at her husband, but... Look, Dale, I don't know what you

that girl are up to. I really don't, but you need to be out of my apartment. Do

you understand me?

Okay. I'm serious, Dale.

Okay, Alan.

Where'd you get all that money from?

I could, but not over the phone.

You know, you're right. Never mind. I don't want to hear it from you.

That's probably for the best.

Yeah. Be gone when I get back.

I will. I'll call you later.

Hi.

How are you?

I heard.

About? Your promotion.

Are you ready for it?

It's just interim.

That's too bad.

Why is that?

You look good in here.

Thank you.

So what brings you by, Rachel?

I want to talk to you.

Your promotion makes you my new boss.

What?

Well, kind of.

My boss's boss.

I don't want last night to be an issue.

It's not an issue.

It is for me.

Why is that?

Because I love every second of it.

Yeah, well... Don't tell me you didn't.

Look, last night was a heavy night for me.

Why? Because of me?

No.

No, not because of you.

I'm sorry I didn't go home with you.

You don't owe me an apology. It's fine.

Actually, I owe you a lot.

Rachel.

Yeah?

Look, I just got this position, okay?

I'm still getting acquainted. I need to stay focused.

Okay, sure.

I'll go.

Okay.

Can we talk later?

Sure.

Call me later.

You call me.

Okay.

What's wrong, Rachel?

I think you're blowing me off. No, I'm not blowing you off.

You sure?

Yes, I promise I will tell you.

You promise?

Yes.

Okay, good.

Look, I'm just getting this all worked out.

We'll talk later.

Okay.

Okay? Sure.

Why am I still sitting here?

Answer me!

Give me a minute, y 'all.

Sam!

Sam.

Hi, how are you?

Why did you do that to me?

Hold on.

No. You all set me up. Nancy, if you're going to be hysterical, I'm walking out

of here. No, I am so mad. Nancy, I'm leaving.

Okay.

No.

Please.

Will you calm down?

I will.

Now, you need to listen to me.

What?

No one here can help you.

I didn't do anything. You're talking.

Sorry.

Now, you entered into a very dangerous space when you decided to talk.

Okay.

If you continue to go down this path, Nancy, it won't end good.

I won't.

I promise.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

them that Richard did this when you know he didn't.

Wasn't a good idea.

Sam. No, you know he didn't do it.

That was his father that was stabbed.

That you're in here being charged for.

And I didn't do anything.

Nancy.

Richard did not do it.

Right. He didn't do it.

And you didn't do it either.

I didn't do it.

Do you understand?

Are you really doing this right now?

Weren't you sleeping with his father?

I was mad, Sam.

Well, you definitely knew how to get him into the worst space he's been in since

being in combat.

I was hurt. You were nothing.

You were wrong.

I know.

This is all your fault.

Well, how do I fix it?

I'm not sure you can.

What do you mean?

You started all of this.

Hey, I will keep my mouth shut. I won't say another word, I promise.

I tried to tell you that before.

I know, and I should have listened to you, Sam.

And you got all these people involved for nothing.

Now they're trying to prosecute you instead.

Damn.

And I can.

Okay. I will say whatever they want me to say. I promise.

Let me see what I can do.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

So, uh, how long do I have to be in here?

Until I'm sure you've learned.

I have learned enough, Sam.

I have to go.

Please,

just don't leave me in here too long.

I won't.

Just be calm.

You know, I'm so sorry.

Remember, don't you say anything.

Don't forget about me, okay?

Mrs. Winthrop.

Oh, please. Call me Lily.

Lily.

Love.

Congratulations on a promotion.

Yeah. You think you can handle all of this?

I'm sure gonna try.

I think you can.

Thank you.

You're a much better replacement for Donald, so... Thank you.

And look, I want to apologize about all of that and how that went down.

It's all good.

No, it's not.

Yeah, true.

Yeah, you don't know the half of it.

What's that?

Are you compromised, Alan?

What do you mean?

Exactly what I just said.

Compromise? Compromise by who?

Donald.

No.

Not at all.

Are you sure?

I'm here to serve at the pleasure of the president.

Are you positive that you aren't compromised?

Yes.

And he doesn't have anything on you that'll make you flip.

No, ma 'am.

Now, Alan, I sure wish you would just tell me the truth.

What do you think he has on me?

I don't know.

You tell me.

Nothing.

Alan, I can't help you if you don't tell me the truth.

If there were something to tell you, I would certainly tell you.

Okay. Well, you have my number?

Yeah.

And you'll call me if you think of something?

What do you think that something might be?

You have a lot to learn, Alan.

Yeah, no.

I know. I know.

You might not be ready for this job.

I'm ready.

Okay.

Have a nice day.

You do the same.

Sir?

Yes?

We have the prisoners in separate cells.

What? The former president and former first lady.

And you're telling me that's why?

You wanted the son to be in there with them?

Correct.

And which cell should I leave him in permanently?

I currently have him in with Hunter now.

Didn't you say his mother tried to kill him?

Yes, sir. She did.

And his father tried to protect him?

Yes, sir.

Well, here you go.

Yes, sir. I'll leave him in with his father.

Wait a minute.

Are you kidding me?

Sir.

Alonzo, I need that little shit afraid.

Sorry, sir.

I'll put him in with his mother.

Yes, do that.

Yes, sir.

But...

What if she kills him?

He's already died once, right?

Yes, sir.

Who cares?

It's not like he can die a second time.

Yes, sir.

Shall I keep an eye on them?

What for?

In case she tries to hurt him.

If Victoria did anything, that would be just another charge against her.

Don't worry about watching them.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Sir.

Hello. This is the... Ah, Constance Waters.

Your reputation precedes you.

Well, that's a good thing.

It is.

Well, I will let you two talk.

Thank you.

Constance, I'll talk to you later. Okay. Okay.

Sit.

So... Yes?

Has she filled you in?

Yes. She told me this is the worst thing I could imagine, and when I imagine the

worst, to go ten floors deeper.

Yes, uh, well... Is there anything additional you would like to tell me?

I, um...

I admired the way that you handled all the scandals back then.

That was a nightmare.

That was bad.

Yeah, it was.

Not as bad as this.

Oh, okay.

Hunter Franklin is the worst.

Well, I've heard some things.

Listen, we would like to offer you the job of press secretary.

I'm not interested.

You're not?

No, I have my own firm.

I work from there.

Okay, well, a lot of this information is quite sensitive.

Well, that way we'll have a contract and an NDA.

But some of this information is criminal.

I'm also a clinical psychologist.

Are you?

Yeah. So whatever you tell me, once you pay the retainer fee, we'll fall under

HIPAA law.

So you're protected.

Here's the contract.

So, I charge $8 ,000 a day. Depending on how bad this is will determine how many

days you'll need me.

Okay. So, are you ready to sign the contract?

I'm not sure yet.

Well, you better get sure.

I have other offers on the table.

I made room for Priscilla.

And not for me.

I voted for your opponent.

So, what will it be?

What do I sign?

Can you believe this?

Yes.

Yes, I can.

What did you know about this?

If I would have known, I would have definitely stopped him now, wouldn't I?

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

Don't tell me you don't trust me.

I trust you, Donald. It's just... What?

I don't know how to get out of this one.

And neither do I.

That's a first.

Yeah, they got us.

It seems that way.

You know what really pisses me off about this?

What's that?

That son of a bitch was flirting with me.

I knew he was interested. No, I mean he played.

He played weak.

Yeah.

He's good.

Don't tell me you admire him.

I guess I do.

There we go.

Let's see.

We are trapped in here.

No communication to the outside world.

That's right. All of our men are down.

Yeah.

Except one.

And who is that?

Alan.

He is not with us. Oh, but he is. Trust me.

What makes you say that?

My insurance.

Listen, I understand you have your insurance, but...

How are you going to use it?

Donald, how is he even going to know?

Well, let's see. We've got the car and we've got the dead body. Still, there is

no way for us to get him to help us when we're locked in here. Time will reveal

itself, Kyle.

Time will reveal itself. Trust me. If you think so, I know so.

Wow.

Wow. Okay.

Good job.

Wait.

Wait, hey, you don't think this is over, do you? It is.

It's over.

It is.

We have to let this all go.

No, Kyle, look at me. Look at me, huh?

Hey.

When have you ever given up on me, huh?

Hey.

I'm tired.

No.

No.

I'm the one who should be tired. I'm older than you.

I don't know what you want me to say. I call bullshit.

No, you're not tired.

What are you up to? I'm not up to anything.

No, I know you. Yeah, and I know you too.

Locked in this damn bunker.

It's not too bad.

It's bad if they leave us in here to rot.

They won't do that.

We'd definitely do it to them.

We would, wouldn't we?

I guess you're right.

But they have a... What's that thing called again?

A right.

That bullshit.

Yeah.

I do not like being locked up.

Well, you know, it's okay.

I'm just gonna give it a sec.

Bondage is more your thing, Kyle.

Come on.

We gotta look at the bright side. Yeah, what's the bright side?

We're together.

You call that the bright side.

You know, we never have this much time together.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

So relax.

We're just going to let this pass us by.

Yeah, okay.

Don't worry.

I'm here for whatever you need.

I need to get the hell out of here. That's what I need. That, too.

You know something.

I know them.

They don't have the stomach for this.

They are not built for this.

They bury me or not?

Come on, Jason.

What's going on?

Get up.

It's okay. It's my job.

Stand over there.

Where are you taking me?

In with your mother.

What?

Alonzo, no!

No. Get up.

Alonzo, you cannot put this. I'm sorry, sir. Alonzo, she will kill him.

Alonzo, do not do this.

Alonzo, what are you doing? What is that?

Alonzo, she's going to kill him. Who told you to do this?

Sorry, kid.

Alonzo, you're better than this.

Alonzo, you're better than this. Alonzo, you... Sorry, sir.

Victoria, don't you touch him.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Don't you dare touch me.

Oh, I'm going to do more than touch.

Victoria.

Yeah, what are you going to do? You're going to kill me with your bare hands.

Have you not seen your father and I fight? Victoria, do not hurt him.

Well, I am your son.

And?

Dad, don't let her do this. Victoria.

Dad, come on.

Don't you dare. No, Jason.

Anyone in this place who hasn't had an affair.

Next on, the old.

You, more than anyone I know, likes to pass around women. But how does it feel

to have women in power over you now?

I don't have the money to bury my son.

She took every damn dime. I wanted all things.

You can change the furniture and the color, whatever you want. I would like

speak with them, the president and the first lady. You're currently speaking

with the president.

I can't believe he tried to kill me. I never even wanted your ass.
