1
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:14,680
[Trask] Detective Cupp, someone wants
to talk to you. They said it's urgent.
2
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:17,516
- [Cupp] Who said it's urgent?
- Someone calling from across the street.
3
00:00:17,517 --> 00:00:18,893
[Park] Across the street?
4
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:22,439
[suspenseful music playing]
5
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:34,033
- [Cupp] What did he say?
- [Trask] He wanted to talk to you.
6
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:35,075
- To me.
- [Trask] Yes.
7
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:36,201
He said me?
8
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:39,872
He said you. He didn't say "me."
You see what I mean?
9
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,082
- Me?
- Let's back up. What did he say?
10
00:00:42,083 --> 00:00:43,959
He wanted to talk to the person in charge.
11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,003
- Isn't that the President?
- Yes, good point.
12
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,212
- Thank you!
- Calm down.
13
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:49,548
Jesus. Do they not hug you enough
over at Quantico?
14
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,675
- I don't think he meant the President.
- Why?
15
00:00:51,676 --> 00:00:54,928
- He said in charge of the investigation.
- He knows there's an investigation?
16
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:58,015
See, I want to say good point,
but now you've ruined it.
17
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:00,184
He said he wanted to talk
to the detective.
18
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:01,518
[both] He said "detective"?
19
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:05,023
I don't know. I didn't talk
to him directly. It's all a little doughy.
20
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:10,778
Is that an AirPod?
Do you have an AirPod in right now?
21
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:11,696
Yes.
22
00:01:12,197 --> 00:01:14,115
- Are you listening to something?
- Yes.
23
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:16,867
It's a podcast about bread making.
24
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:19,453
But there's also like a lot about
celebrity real estate.
25
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:21,164
Keeps my stress level down.
26
00:01:24,334 --> 00:01:25,710
[elevator bell dings]
27
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:29,088
What time did he call?
28
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:31,173
First call to the White House
was at around 2,
29
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:32,800
then he called a few times after that.
30
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:33,926
- A few times?
- Yes.
31
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,302
- How many times?
- 31.
32
00:01:35,303 --> 00:01:36,386
That's a lot of times.
33
00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:39,390
We get weird calls every day,
and we usually ignore them.
34
00:01:40,016 --> 00:01:41,726
But he was pretty persistent.
35
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,020
Do you like brioche?
36
00:01:45,021 --> 00:01:46,272
[Cupp sighs]
37
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:49,484
Shhh!
38
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:52,862
Come in.
39
00:02:01,037 --> 00:02:02,579
- You're the one who called?
- Yeah.
40
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:04,081
- [Cupp] You saw something?
- Yes.
41
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:05,875
- At the White House?
- Yes.
42
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:08,795
- Tell us about it.
- [Park] Detective Cupp?
43
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:13,383
[soft snoring]
44
00:02:14,384 --> 00:02:15,969
- Those your parents?
- Yes.
45
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:21,391
Tell us what you saw.
46
00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:24,352
[Park chuckles softly]
47
00:02:25,019 --> 00:02:27,855
At one point,
Detective Cupp even had Agent Trask
48
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:30,399
move the dad because he was snoring.
49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,775
[dad snores, then stops]
50
00:02:31,776 --> 00:02:35,487
[Park] Vusi told us that his parents had
planned this special trip to D.C.
51
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:37,656
so that he could take a tour
of the White House--
52
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:41,160
because he loves the White House--
but then the tour was canceled.
53
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,579
So they switched hotels to the Hay-Adams
54
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,123
so Vusi could at least
get a great view of the White House,
55
00:02:46,124 --> 00:02:48,208
even though what he really wanted
was a tour.
56
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:49,585
So. Can I get a tour?
57
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,962
No. How long have you been
watching the White House?
58
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:55,257
He said he'd been watching
everything from that window since 6,
59
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:57,092
just to see what he could see.
60
00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:58,635
- It's a State Dinner, right?
- Yes.
61
00:02:58,636 --> 00:03:00,679
- Australia?
- Yes.
62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,307
Hasn't been an Australian State Dinner
since 2006.
63
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:04,309
What did you see?
64
00:03:05,476 --> 00:03:07,311
- Can I talk to you alone?
- No. Why?
65
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:08,813
I don't like the look of them.
66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,693
Wait outside.
67
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,449
What did you see?
68
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:21,575
A flashing red light.
69
00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:22,659
- Where?
- In the window.
70
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:24,328
- Which window?
- Room 301.
71
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,455
- Room 301?
- The northeast corner.
72
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:29,666
It was storage, but after
the Truman restoration, it was a bedroom.
73
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:32,294
Under President Johnson,
it was turned into a gym,
74
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:34,380
then an office, and then a bedroom.
75
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:40,510
- Can I get a tour?
- No.
76
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:43,389
- Why not?
- I don't know. I'm not giving out tours.
77
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:45,766
- Tell me about the light.
- It was flashing.
78
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:48,310
But it was also moving around,
up and down and side to side.
79
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:50,062
- For how long?
- 15 to 20 seconds.
80
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:52,273
- Then it went away. Then I saw it again.
- What time?
81
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:54,733
- I want a tour.
- No. What time?
82
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:56,109
I have information you need.
83
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,696
- I don't need this information.
- Then why are you here?
84
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,281
- What's your mom's name?
- Sydney.
85
00:04:01,282 --> 00:04:03,325
- Sydney!
- No. Stop. She's asleep.
86
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:05,828
- What time did you see the light?
- [Vusi sighs]
87
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,247
- Around 10?
- What time exactly?
88
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:09,623
I don't know exactly. Around 10.
89
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:14,462
Kid who knows what year Room 301
became a gym knows the exact time.
90
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:17,506
- Sydney!
- Stop.
91
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:18,508
What time?
92
00:04:19,217 --> 00:04:21,927
9:46 and then again at 9:51.
93
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,095
- You called after that?
- Yes.
94
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:24,721
- 31 times.
- I was worried.
95
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:26,474
About a flashing red light.
96
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:29,851
- What happened over there?
- Nothing happened.
97
00:04:29,852 --> 00:04:32,479
- Something happened. No one has left.
- It's a good party.
98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,565
Not for the dead person
they brought out the front.
99
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:45,617
Write your name and phone number down.
I'll get you a tour.
100
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:48,788
It won't be anytime soon,
but I'll make good on it.
101
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:50,706
[chuckles softly]
102
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:53,583
- You have a business card.
- It has all my information on it.
103
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:56,921
- Why do you have a business card?
- You know, for things like this.
104
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:01,049
[Trask] A flashing red light?
105
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:02,342
- Yes.
- In the window?
106
00:05:02,343 --> 00:05:04,177
- Yes.
- That's what he said he saw?
107
00:05:04,178 --> 00:05:06,346
Yes. I don't know how it connects exactly...
108
00:05:06,347 --> 00:05:07,889
[Trask sighs] It doesn't.
109
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:08,975
Unbelievable.
110
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:11,184
- [Cupp] What?
- They're brake lights.
111
00:05:11,185 --> 00:05:12,519
What are you talking about?
112
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,438
- The flashing red lights?
- Brake lights.
113
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,065
From the cars on 16th Street
driving away from the White House,
114
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,859
reflecting back
on the White House windows.
115
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:20,319
[Trask] We get calls every week.
116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,695
FBI gets them too.
117
00:05:21,696 --> 00:05:24,573
It's the most enduring
conspiracy theory in Washington.
118
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:27,034
The flashing red lights
in the windows of the White House.
119
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:30,662
[Trask] I missed a whole section
on sourdough starter for this.
120
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:33,041
[suspenseful music playing]
121
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:35,835
[curious instrumental music playing]
122
00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:49,056
[Filkins] After you left the Hay-Adams,
you returned to the White House?
123
00:05:49,057 --> 00:05:49,974
Yes.
124
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:53,269
[Filkins] And what happened
when you returned?
125
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:57,522
[Park] Well, people had some... questions.
126
00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:58,857
[Cupp sighs heavily]
127
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,192
[woman] Detective Cupp!
128
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:03,070
- [Park, Trask] Back away, please.
- [guests clamoring]
129
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:06,615
- [Park] I know you have questions.
- [Trask] We do not have more information.
130
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:09,409
{\an8}- [clamoring continues]
- [Park] Everyone, please back away.
131
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:11,371
{\an8}[animated chattering]
132
00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:17,751
The masses are getting restless.
133
00:06:17,752 --> 00:06:20,545
- You can send them home.
- No, I can't. Not yet.
134
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:23,632
Have you heard about flashing red lights
in the windows of the White House?
135
00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:25,926
- The brake lights on 16th Street?
- Stop. Really?
136
00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:27,761
I think it's brake lights,
not stop lights.
137
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:28,888
[Cupp sighs]
138
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:32,933
- How do I not know this? Where've I been?
- Alaska. Madagascar.
139
00:06:32,934 --> 00:06:36,186
- [Cupp sighs]
- Patagonia. Borneo. Places with birds.
140
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:39,064
Right. I don't think that's what he saw.
Brake lights.
141
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:40,482
Is that you just being stubborn?
142
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:43,860
He only saw them twice. If they were brake
lights, he'd have seen them all night.
143
00:06:43,861 --> 00:06:46,488
People only report seeing Bigfoot
for a few seconds.
144
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:48,698
But I mean,
he's very, very large and furry,
145
00:06:48,699 --> 00:06:50,660
and he must be there all the time.
146
00:06:52,036 --> 00:06:55,205
- [clears throat] What do you want to do?
- I need to talk to Harry Hollinger.
147
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:58,417
- What do you need me to do?
- Just stop anybody from talking to me.
148
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,335
- Anybody?
- Most people. Needy people.
149
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:01,336
I don't have time.
150
00:07:01,337 --> 00:07:03,630
What about, say, Kylie Minogue?
151
00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:05,966
Do I want to talk to her right now?
Absolutely not.
152
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,553
Very low chance she has
any useful information for me.
153
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:12,098
Why are you asking
about Kylie Minogue? [sighs]
154
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:15,476
[Kylie] Detective Cupp.
155
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,269
C... can we talk?
156
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:19,855
Listen, I just wanted to say
I really appreciate
157
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:21,481
everything you're doing here tonight.
158
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,984
- Okay.
- I know there's a lot of people grumbling.
159
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:26,069
But not the Australians. [laughs]
160
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:27,028
Right.
161
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:29,698
Uh, but one thing.
I don't know if you're aware,
162
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:32,826
but I wasn't supposed to be
performing tonight.
163
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:34,202
Did anyone tell you that?
164
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:36,621
- Is that true?
- 100% true.
165
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:39,458
Lilly Schumacher
and her energy healer St. Pierre
166
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,376
had a different musical guest in mind.
167
00:07:41,377 --> 00:07:42,711
Actually, a lot of them.
168
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:44,254
- I love Bad Bunny for this.
- Love it.
169
00:07:44,255 --> 00:07:46,006
- Lana Del Rey.
- Obsessed.
170
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:47,174
- Cat Stevens.
- Who?
171
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:48,425
Never mind, you go.
172
00:07:48,426 --> 00:07:49,801
Are these real options?
173
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:51,429
[Lilly gasps]
174
00:07:52,054 --> 00:07:53,306
Harry Styles.
175
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:55,640
Harry's House.
176
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:57,767
[together] Harry's. White. House!
177
00:07:57,768 --> 00:08:00,103
Like everything that night,
the list kept changing.
178
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:02,856
But Lilly assured us
it was going to be amazing.
179
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:04,858
Amazing! You will not believe this!
180
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:05,817
Get ready!
181
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:07,611
- Let's go, bitches!
- [Angie] What?
182
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:09,238
Oh, nothing.
183
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:13,325
But then, literally two hours
before the dinner starts,
184
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,202
she says we're screwed.
185
00:08:15,203 --> 00:08:17,370
- Do you hear me? Screwed!
- Yes.
186
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:19,956
And somehow, again, this was our fault.
187
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:22,834
Nobody wants to play
in this shitty house. Nobody.
188
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:25,879
Not Billie. Not Cardi.
Definitely not Harry.
189
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,340
They know what they're in for,
and they don't want it.
190
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:30,133
Elliott Morgan was panicked.
191
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:32,345
And it was A.B. who stepped in.
192
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:35,264
It was his idea to approach Ms. Minogue.
193
00:08:36,807 --> 00:08:37,807
Yes.
194
00:08:37,808 --> 00:08:39,601
[Haney] She couldn't have been
more gracious.
195
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:41,269
...the Lincoln Bedroom.
196
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:44,231
Her only ask
was that she got the Lincoln Bedroom.
197
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:46,233
- You probably didn't know that.
- I did not.
198
00:08:46,234 --> 00:08:49,027
Of course not. You're busy!
Being the World's Greatest Detective!
199
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:50,320
But it is true.
200
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:53,949
And I would love to just sneak upstairs
and get a few hours.
201
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:56,117
You wanna go up
to the Lincoln Bedroom now?
202
00:08:56,118 --> 00:08:57,244
- Yes.
- No.
203
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:58,745
Wha... [scoffs]
204
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:00,205
- Why not?
- It's a crime scene.
205
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,500
The Lincoln Bedroom? I thought
this guy died on the third floor?
206
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,502
I really can't talk about the specifics.
207
00:09:05,503 --> 00:09:07,128
Right, but he's dead,
208
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:11,634
and I was promised the Lincoln Bedroom,
so you can see the problem that I...
209
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:15,679
So, uh, Hugh wants to pop upstairs
for a second and lie down.
210
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:16,721
- What?
- Hugh Jackman?
211
00:09:16,722 --> 00:09:17,681
- Yes.
- No.
212
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:18,933
- Before you say no--
- No!
213
00:09:19,642 --> 00:09:20,767
Did he send you in here?
214
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:23,311
I work for the President
of the United States, Ms. Minogue.
215
00:09:23,312 --> 00:09:24,897
I don't work for Hugh Jackman.
216
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:28,024
Yes, he sent me.
His feet are sore and tingly.
217
00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:31,528
Well, why doesn't he scratch them
with his big fucking claws?!
218
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:35,283
Listen, the last place I wanna be
is between you and Hugh Jackman.
219
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,496
- We just need to figure this out.
- Okay. When you say figure it out...
220
00:09:41,372 --> 00:09:43,873
[Kylie and Trask chattering in distance]
221
00:09:43,874 --> 00:09:46,377
[brisk jazz music playing]
222
00:09:50,673 --> 00:09:51,674
Detective Cupp.
223
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:54,343
Detective Cupp.
224
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:57,387
Agent Park told me
you went over to the Hay-Adams
225
00:09:57,388 --> 00:10:01,600
and got snookered by a 12-year-old kid
who wants a tour of the White House.
226
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:02,851
Not exactly what I said.
227
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:04,060
Are you offering a tour?
228
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:06,271
It's 4:30 in the morning, Detective Cupp.
229
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:10,026
- I'm sure he can wait until tomorrow.
- We can't keep people here all night!
230
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:13,028
It hasn't been all night.
We're making progress.
231
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:15,697
I would go so far as to say
we're almost done here.
232
00:10:15,698 --> 00:10:16,615
Really?
233
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:19,035
No. Where's Harry Hollinger?
Is he up here?
234
00:10:19,869 --> 00:10:20,953
[guest] Okay. Excuse me.
235
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:24,122
You know, I love you, Chief, but so far,
236
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:28,918
you are doing a really lousy job
keeping people away from me.
237
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:33,006
I just spent ten minutes fending off
a very drunk mayor of Canberra,
238
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:36,134
who is convinced her mom
did not have a stroke in her Jacuzzi
239
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:38,887
but was, in fact,
murdered by a gentleman caller
240
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:41,848
by the name of Count Igor Svenstra.
241
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:44,100
And she would very much
like to talk to you about it.
242
00:10:44,101 --> 00:10:45,436
[music ends abruptly]
243
00:10:46,187 --> 00:10:47,437
I take it all back.
244
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:48,356
Thank you.
245
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,067
- [Kylie] I need to get some sleep.
- [Morgan] I can ask her...
246
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:53,443
[Kylie] This is ridiculous.
247
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:56,446
[Morgan] We promised Ms. Minogue
the Lincoln Bedroom.
248
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,031
- Can we let her use it?
- [Cupp] No.
249
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:01,117
I just told her that.
I can't have anybody going upstairs.
250
00:11:01,118 --> 00:11:03,371
- You've been going upstairs!
- That's true.
251
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:10,002
I need to talk to you.
252
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:12,338
Okay.
253
00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:18,301
Have you been in Room 301 tonight?
254
00:11:18,302 --> 00:11:20,387
- Don't know what that is.
- Across the hall from you.
255
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:23,181
- Whose bedroom is this?
- [Haney] Hollinger lives next to Morgan.
256
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:25,433
- No.
- And this? Is this a guest bedroom?
257
00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:27,645
Third floor, northeast corner.
It's a bedroom.
258
00:11:28,270 --> 00:11:30,021
- It's being renovated.
- So you do know it?
259
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,357
I know a room across the hall
from me is being renovated.
260
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:33,608
It's not being renovated.
261
00:11:33,609 --> 00:11:35,568
- You're talking about a different room?
- No.
262
00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:37,612
I'm saying the room
you think is being renovated
263
00:11:37,613 --> 00:11:39,239
is not actually being renovated.
264
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,117
The President and Mr. Morgan asked
to make it look like it's being renovated
265
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:44,620
because there was someone
they didn't want to stay here.
266
00:11:47,123 --> 00:11:48,998
You didn't want my sister to stay here?
267
00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:50,417
- [Morgan] What?
- [Elliott] No.
268
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:51,584
That's my sister!
269
00:11:51,585 --> 00:11:53,713
I know. It's not about her personally.
270
00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:56,881
Just to be clear.
You haven't been in that room?
271
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,925
No! I can't believe this.
272
00:11:58,926 --> 00:12:00,010
Jackie Kennedy did it.
273
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:02,762
- Room 301?
- [Cupp] Yes.
274
00:12:02,763 --> 00:12:04,556
- Never been in there.
- Are you sure?
275
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:06,725
- No.
- Do you know what Room 301 is?
276
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:09,018
- No.
- Room 301 is at the end of the hall.
277
00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:11,063
Let me write that down on my map.
278
00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:16,025
- On the northeast corner.
- Oh, that explains it.
279
00:12:16,026 --> 00:12:19,071
I always hang out at the southeast corner
at the end of the hall.
280
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:23,116
I haven't left this room in a month,
Detective Cupp.
281
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:27,162
And the only reason I would ever leave
would be if I heard my son's husband
282
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:28,413
was coming for a visit.
283
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,958
- The President of the United States.
- [Nan gags]
284
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,878
Would you hand me the remote?
285
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:42,010
I don't like watching things with birds.
Birds scare me.
286
00:12:42,011 --> 00:12:44,013
[TV channel changes repeatedly]
287
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:46,014
What?
288
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:47,599
Oh God.
289
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,476
You're one of those bird people,
aren't you?
290
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:54,647
You probably carry around a list of birds.
"Oh, look, there's a Beecher's Swallow."
291
00:12:54,648 --> 00:12:55,649
Not a bird.
292
00:12:56,525 --> 00:12:59,569
What makes you sure it's murder,
Mr. Holmes? The door was locked.
293
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:00,862
- Every attendant has...
- Hey!
294
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:03,031
- Do you consider this loud?
- Your voice? No.
295
00:13:03,032 --> 00:13:05,241
It's a little throaty for my taste,
but it's not loud.
296
00:13:05,242 --> 00:13:07,410
- The TV.
- TV? Oh. No.
297
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:10,038
When I talked to you earlier,
you said your TV was loud
298
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:11,873
when you heard the "thump" next door.
299
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:13,709
- It was. Very loud.
- Why?
300
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,085
- Are you married?
- No.
301
00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:17,170
- Ever married?
- No.
302
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:19,339
You don't seem like someone
who would enjoy it.
303
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:21,257
- Thank you.
- I meant that as a compliment.
304
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:23,384
That's how I understood it.
Why was your TV so loud?
305
00:13:23,385 --> 00:13:27,515
My TV was loud because I was trying
to drown out the yelling in the hallway.
306
00:13:28,098 --> 00:13:30,892
- What yelling?
- You're smarter than the rest of them.
307
00:13:30,893 --> 00:13:32,769
- I am.
- You know it too.
308
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:34,271
I do. What yelling?
309
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:35,815
It was an argument.
310
00:13:36,398 --> 00:13:37,650
Argument between who?
311
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:39,068
A.B.
312
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:40,653
And?
313
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:44,406
Yelling? Who the hell said that?
314
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,451
It was her, wasn't it?
315
00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:50,578
Yep. See, that's the thing
with old people.
316
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:53,081
They make you yell,
and then you finally end up talking
317
00:13:53,082 --> 00:13:56,626
at a volume they can fucking hear,
and then they yell at you to stop yelling!
318
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:57,585
[Nan] Too loud!
319
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:00,255
- I hate old people.
- [Nan] We hate you too!
320
00:14:00,256 --> 00:14:02,258
You didn't say you were fighting with A.B.
321
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:04,509
- I wasn't.
- What were you fighting about?
322
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,471
We weren't fighting.
I was talking to him about the plumbing.
323
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,474
- The toilet.
- "Plumbing" is fine. I don't need details.
324
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:12,518
I clogged the toilet.
325
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:16,187
- What time was that?
- I don't know. It was a process.
326
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:17,689
- A.B. came up here?
- Yeah.
327
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:18,773
- Why?
- I don't know.
328
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:20,942
- Somebody must've called him up.
- How'd that go?
329
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:22,111
Fine. Whatever.
330
00:14:23,153 --> 00:14:25,573
He said he was gonna call someone in,
and he did.
331
00:14:26,073 --> 00:14:29,158
I don't know what that old prune
is talking about. We didn't fight.
332
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:31,536
We never fought.
How do you fight with A.B. Wynter?
333
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:33,204
Know what I mean? Yell in his face?
334
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:34,956
No. We always got along.
335
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:38,585
Was that true, that Tripp Morgan
and A.B. Wynter always got along?
336
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:39,587
[Park scoffs]
337
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:41,504
- No.
- They hated each other.
338
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:45,884
No! Wynter didn't hate him.
I wouldn't even say he didn't like him.
339
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:48,803
A.B. didn't think like that.
He was too much of a professional.
340
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:49,888
What would you say?
341
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:53,975
I would say that
he was disappointed by his presence
342
00:14:53,976 --> 00:14:56,978
and the difficulty he created
for the house.
343
00:14:56,979 --> 00:14:58,938
- They hated each other.
- True.
344
00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:01,107
How long has Tripp Morgan
been living in the White House?
345
00:15:01,108 --> 00:15:03,359
- He was here when I got here.
- Nine months.
346
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Why is he here?
347
00:15:04,361 --> 00:15:06,529
It's his brother.
What kind of question is that?
348
00:15:06,530 --> 00:15:08,823
- Why is he here?
- What version do you want?
349
00:15:08,824 --> 00:15:11,284
I want the middle-of-the-night,
I'm trying to solve a murder,
350
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:13,536
got the Director of the FBI,
Prime Minister of Australia,
351
00:15:13,537 --> 00:15:16,040
and Kylie Minogue
breathing down my neck version.
352
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:20,001
You remember the campaign, right?
353
00:15:20,002 --> 00:15:22,671
[dramatic music playing]
354
00:15:25,966 --> 00:15:28,135
Well, it got worse
after the China debacle.
355
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:33,097
{\an8}Still no sign of President Morgan's
younger brother, Tripp Morgan,
356
00:15:33,098 --> 00:15:37,185
{\an8}who went missing last Friday afternoon
while on a motorcycle trip
357
00:15:37,186 --> 00:15:39,896
{\an8}through a remote region of western Tibet.
358
00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:42,398
President Morgan had to use up
enormous political capital
359
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,276
with the Chinese
to quietly rescue and evacuate Tripp,
360
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:47,320
and he had had enough at that point.
361
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:49,948
The President told Tripp
he had two choices.
362
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:53,117
He could live in the White House, stay out
of the news, get his shit together.
363
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:56,621
Or the President would cut him loose,
and if he got in trouble with the law,
364
00:15:56,622 --> 00:15:59,123
he'd bring the hammer down.
The choice was pretty easy.
365
00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:01,417
Wait. So you're saying I can stay here?
366
00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:02,919
Yes. Right around the corner.
367
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,421
No, no, no, no, no. Hold on, dude.
You said this house.
368
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:10,094
Yes, this house.
That corner. Right there. Right there.
369
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:13,846
- Free food?
- Well, I pay for the food, but...
370
00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:16,307
[laughs] You pay for your own food?
371
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:20,144
Yes, that's the way the White House works.
The First Family pays for their food.
372
00:16:20,145 --> 00:16:22,063
Lame. Anyway, free for me?
373
00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:23,856
- Yes.
- I don't have to pay for shit?
374
00:16:23,857 --> 00:16:27,110
- No.
- And all I have to do is... what exactly?
375
00:16:27,111 --> 00:16:30,155
All you have to do is not be
a crazy fucking asshole. That's it.
376
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:33,408
- Yeah, no deal.
- What?
377
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:35,660
No. No fucking deal, Perry.
378
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:37,870
I'm not gonna have my freedom
taken away by you.
379
00:16:37,871 --> 00:16:42,041
I mean, do you even understand
that concept? Freedom? Do you get it?
380
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:44,503
- Everything okay in here?
- Yes, thank you.
381
00:16:46,463 --> 00:16:48,089
- Yeah, walk away.
- [Trask] I am.
382
00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:50,425
- Down the ramp.
- [Trask] Yep. That's where this goes.
383
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:55,513
Yeah, no. You do not get to tell me
what I can and cannot do.
384
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:58,057
Fuck that.
You've been doing this shit my whole life,
385
00:16:58,058 --> 00:17:01,519
acting all better than me just 'cause
Mom decided to have you first.
386
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,271
Okay, well, we didn't exist, right?
387
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:05,815
So she didn't decide
to have me instead of you.
388
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:08,776
You know what? I ought
to kick your fucking ass like I used to.
389
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:10,111
You never kicked my ass.
390
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,363
Well, there's a first time
for everything, then.
391
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:13,365
- What?
- [Tripp grunts]
392
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:15,576
[both grunting]
393
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:18,037
Goddamnit, Tripp.
394
00:17:18,787 --> 00:17:19,829
Boom!
395
00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:20,997
- [grunts]
- [Trask] Got him.
396
00:17:20,998 --> 00:17:24,083
[grunting] Oh fu... All right, okay. Okay.
397
00:17:24,084 --> 00:17:26,377
Hey, dude. If that offer still stands
398
00:17:26,378 --> 00:17:29,422
for the room and the free food...
I'll take it.
399
00:17:29,423 --> 00:17:31,090
- Thanks, bro.
- Jesus Christ.
400
00:17:31,091 --> 00:17:32,508
[Tripp] Fuck, that was quick.
401
00:17:32,509 --> 00:17:33,634
[Tripp groans]
402
00:17:33,635 --> 00:17:35,095
And that was it.
403
00:17:35,804 --> 00:17:38,347
He moved in. Basically,
so everyone could keep an eye on him.
404
00:17:38,348 --> 00:17:41,059
The deal was
absolutely no drinking and no drugs.
405
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:44,187
All other eccentricities
would be tolerated... to a point.
406
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:45,146
How has that gone?
407
00:17:45,147 --> 00:17:48,524
From a political perspective, fine.
Apparently, he doesn't leave much.
408
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:51,862
He does a lot of meditation.
He's writing a book on... salt.
409
00:17:52,696 --> 00:17:53,529
Or pepper.
410
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:55,073
- Salt.
- I can't remember.
411
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:58,202
- Salt!
- But the truth is, A.B. has been...
412
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:03,581
was the one who had to manage his shit,
and it wasn't always easy.
413
00:18:03,582 --> 00:18:07,376
You have to understand there are things
you just don't do in the White House.
414
00:18:07,377 --> 00:18:09,462
Especially when you're a guest.
415
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:10,588
[elevator bell dings]
416
00:18:10,589 --> 00:18:13,675
[Haney] You don't
walk around the White House in bare feet.
417
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:17,428
[staff laughing and chattering]
418
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:20,223
[Haney] You don't just go
and "hang out" with the staff.
419
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:21,391
Hmm, Twinkies.
420
00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:26,979
What's up?
What are you guys talking about?
421
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:30,566
You don't use the White House Physician,
who is here for the President,
422
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:33,069
for emergencies,
for your own personal shit.
423
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,655
- It's spread all over my torso, man.
- What is?
424
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:38,616
- The fucking rash!
- I don't see any rash.
425
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:40,952
Is this the same rash
you didn't have yesterday?
426
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,371
Why don't we do that thing
where you draw a Sharpie around it
427
00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:44,664
to see how it's spreading?
428
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:46,041
Draw a Sharpie around what?
429
00:18:49,294 --> 00:18:51,879
- I just need a hundred Klonopin, doc.
- [wearily] Okay.
430
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,466
But I will say, for the most part,
he's seemed to be doing better lately.
431
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:59,638
Seemed less antagonistic
and more... functional.
432
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:02,057
Until tonight.
433
00:19:03,433 --> 00:19:04,768
What happened tonight?
434
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:07,771
Why didn't you invite him
to the State Dinner?
435
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:09,856
- My brother?
- Yes.
436
00:19:09,857 --> 00:19:10,815
- Tripp?
- Yes.
437
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:13,484
She needs to meet Tripp.
Tell him to make himself available.
438
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,486
No, Mr. President. I've spoken with him.
439
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:19,658
You've met Tripp, and you're asking
why I didn't invite him to a State Dinner?
440
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,413
Anyway, it doesn't matter
why I didn't want him to go.
441
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:26,497
He didn't wanna go.
442
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:28,374
Right? You don't wanna go.
443
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,917
[Tripp] To the dinner? I guess--
444
00:19:29,918 --> 00:19:32,461
A State Dinner? For Australia?
445
00:19:32,462 --> 00:19:34,422
You got arrested in Australia.
446
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:36,674
[Tripp] I was only 19,
and I wasn't actually arrested--
447
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:37,968
Exactly.
448
00:19:38,677 --> 00:19:41,137
[Tripp] Honestly, bro, I was thinking
it might be cool to--
449
00:19:41,138 --> 00:19:43,139
No, not those. Wait, what?
450
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:44,432
Where are you right now?
451
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:45,516
Downstairs.
452
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:48,562
You're just calling from the second floor?
I could come down.
453
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:50,856
No, no, no, no. Don't.
454
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:52,732
I don't wanna bother you.
455
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:54,233
Oh yeah. No. No. Totally.
456
00:19:54,234 --> 00:19:56,903
Anyway, you know,
I was just saying, I thought,
457
00:19:56,904 --> 00:20:00,072
because Mom was from Australia,
and I've been feeling better--
458
00:20:00,073 --> 00:20:03,492
Absolutely. I just wanted to make sure
that it was cool with you.
459
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:06,704
I totally understand
you not wanting to come tonight.
460
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:09,373
- Yep. Definitely.
- We'll talk later.
461
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:12,169
- I'll send you up a plate.
- [inhales slowly] Cool.
462
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:17,132
[pensive music playing]
463
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:23,055
And he was fine with not coming?
464
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:25,223
Yeah, he seemed fine to me.
465
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,433
I want A.B. Wynter up here now!
466
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:29,477
He got completely fucked up.
467
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:33,314
- Why? Because my fucking toilet's clogged!
- Tripp said they didn't have a fight?
468
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,857
- Yeah!
- [Haney] They had a fight.
469
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:38,152
I had to take a shit!
470
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:41,989
Okay? This is what
human beings do, dude, okay?
471
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:43,366
We shit!
472
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:47,078
[robotically] You are old man robot
from Planet Usher,
473
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,165
so maybe that isn't familiar to you.
474
00:20:55,379 --> 00:21:00,591
I think I might... want to amend my answer
from before slightly.
475
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:02,719
Did things get a little heated?
476
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:05,888
Yeah, okay. Yeah, a little bit.
477
00:21:05,889 --> 00:21:09,100
- You're taking things from the house.
- I'm not. What are you talking about?
478
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,435
Where'd you get that lamp?
479
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:13,688
From the Red Room, which is in the house.
480
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:16,315
You can't take things from other rooms
and bring them in here.
481
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:17,817
- Why not?
- Because you can't.
482
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:20,612
- I pay taxes too.
- When was the last time you paid tax?
483
00:21:21,655 --> 00:21:23,489
- It's one lamp.
- You have robes.
484
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:25,783
Robe. One robe.
485
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:27,869
It's not one robe.
486
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:30,830
Would you prefer I not use a robe?
487
00:21:30,831 --> 00:21:32,874
That's not the only other choice.
488
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:37,586
You have pillows. Pens. Salt shakers.
489
00:21:37,587 --> 00:21:38,713
I'm a semelier!
490
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:42,091
Listen, what I have here
are things that are essential for life.
491
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:43,634
Okay? That's it.
492
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:47,221
Electricity. Clothing. Salt.
What, do you want me to get scurvy?
493
00:21:47,222 --> 00:21:49,515
Eating salt has nothing to do with scurvy.
494
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:51,727
Oh, okay. Maybe you should write the book!
495
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,647
Look, you can get mad all you want,
but I'm not taking anything important.
496
00:21:57,941 --> 00:21:59,818
[quirky music playing]
497
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:06,241
I have to tell your brother.
498
00:22:07,451 --> 00:22:10,202
I don't care. You think I give a shit?
I'll tell him myself.
499
00:22:10,203 --> 00:22:13,331
Ooh, you want my brother to know
I have a bust of Alexander Hamilton?
500
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,458
- It's not Hamilton.
- Really?
501
00:22:15,459 --> 00:22:17,127
[angrily] It's Abraham Lincoln!
502
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:20,713
- Can I tell you something off the record?
- No.
503
00:22:20,714 --> 00:22:22,923
- Off... the record?
- No.
504
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:24,717
My brother didn't like "Hamilton."
505
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:26,177
- The musical.
- Okay.
506
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:28,304
You know people that are like,
"I'm not a theater person,"
507
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:29,848
but they go and they love it?
508
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:32,517
Well, he went, and he didn't love it.
509
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:35,144
[clicks tongue, then inhales]
510
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:38,314
- Do with that what you will.
- I'm not gonna do anything with it.
511
00:22:38,315 --> 00:22:41,525
I brought the Hamilton bust to my room
to piss my brother off, you see?
512
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:45,196
No, I don't see. It's not Hamilton
and if your brother doesn't like Hamilton,
513
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:46,948
why does it piss him off
to have it up here?
514
00:22:47,949 --> 00:22:49,575
That's what A.B. said.
515
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:52,495
I'll call him and tell him. Huh?
Yeah, I'll tell him.
516
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:55,874
And I'll also tell him I took
the most epic shit of my life up here.
517
00:22:57,334 --> 00:22:58,334
[lifts handset]
518
00:22:58,335 --> 00:22:59,460
[replaces handset]
519
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:00,878
Please don't tell my brother.
520
00:23:00,879 --> 00:23:03,464
I'm begging you. I'll return everything.
521
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:05,841
Every last fucking thing I took,
I'll return it.
522
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:08,636
And I'll stay in my room from now on.
I swear to God.
523
00:23:08,637 --> 00:23:10,972
I'll even shit outside in the yard.
Just tell me where.
524
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:13,600
[Wynter sighs]
525
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:17,728
Dude, if you tell my brother about
any of this, I'm... I'm fucking done.
526
00:23:17,729 --> 00:23:20,272
I'm... I'm out of here.
Like, my life is over.
527
00:23:20,273 --> 00:23:23,484
And I know you see someone
who has it all, who's gonna make it.
528
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:25,654
Dude, I'm not gonna fucking make it.
529
00:23:26,154 --> 00:23:29,698
I didn't get dealt what he did.
I didn't do well in school.
530
00:23:29,699 --> 00:23:31,409
He got the work hard gene.
531
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,328
I didn't get that fucking shit.
532
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:36,288
True story:
In high school, I had a paper due.
533
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:39,792
My mom goes into Perry's room,
grabs one of his papers,
534
00:23:39,793 --> 00:23:41,044
and tells me to copy it.
535
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:44,839
So I literally copied the whole thing
in my own fucking handwriting.
536
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,549
It wasn't even on the same topic.
537
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:48,384
She's like, we'll just go with that.
538
00:23:48,385 --> 00:23:51,930
I got a fucking A, dude.
Copying Perry's paper.
539
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:57,435
My parents encouraged me
to get into video games and drugs.
540
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:59,645
"It'll give you some direction,"
they said.
541
00:23:59,646 --> 00:24:01,897
Oh, and we had a dog, right?
Couldn't stand me.
542
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:04,483
Bit me at least a dozen times.
You know what my mom did?
543
00:24:04,484 --> 00:24:07,278
She went back to the same breeder
and got another dog.
544
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:11,031
And that one time I asked my dad
if he loves me as much as my brother,
545
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:14,618
he was like, "Of course.
More. So much more."
546
00:24:14,619 --> 00:24:17,955
He had his fucking eyes closed, dude.
He thought I was Perry.
547
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:20,292
[poignant music playing]
548
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:25,839
Look, I'm sorry, dude. I fucked up here.
Like, I get it. I fucked up.
549
00:24:26,339 --> 00:24:27,799
I've fucked up a lot.
550
00:24:28,508 --> 00:24:31,136
I honestly don't know
what's wrong with me.
551
00:24:32,053 --> 00:24:34,347
Is... is there something wrong with me?
552
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,061
I was a boy.
553
00:24:41,062 --> 00:24:42,814
I just wanted to be a boy.
554
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:45,149
I was a boy.
555
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:47,944
You know?
And I have that asshole next to me.
556
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:50,864
And all these people
yelling at me all the time.
557
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:53,741
Be better. Do more. Be great.
558
00:24:53,742 --> 00:24:55,744
I'm not fucking great.
559
00:24:56,828 --> 00:25:00,706
Isn't it okay
to... not be great at something?
560
00:25:00,707 --> 00:25:01,917
At anything?
561
00:25:03,084 --> 00:25:07,589
You know, isn't it... okay
to just be who you are?
562
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:15,805
I'm sending up an engineer.
To fix the toilet.
563
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,432
Thank you.
564
00:25:18,433 --> 00:25:21,018
And I'm gonna talk to your brother
in the morning.
565
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,812
[tense music playing]
566
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:28,693
[yells]
567
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:31,779
It was loud.
568
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:33,782
- [Tripp yells]
- [door opens]
569
00:25:37,786 --> 00:25:39,788
[tense music builds]
570
00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:45,251
- [music ends abruptly]
- Yeah. Okay, yeah. I lost it.
571
00:25:45,252 --> 00:25:49,755
I got mad. It was a fight.
All right? I admit it. All of it.
572
00:25:49,756 --> 00:25:52,007
Okay? That's the truth. That's it.
573
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,176
[sniffs]
574
00:25:57,472 --> 00:25:59,599
What's... what's going on here?
575
00:26:02,185 --> 00:26:03,394
Wait. Ho... holy shit.
576
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,854
Do you think I have
something to do with this?
577
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:07,356
With what happened to A.B.?
578
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:08,692
[yells]
579
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:14,113
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, I got mad. I yelled. I lost my shit.
580
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:17,200
But you can't do this.
I'll call my fucking brother.
581
00:26:21,621 --> 00:26:23,330
Okay. All right. You know what? Look.
582
00:26:23,331 --> 00:26:25,499
This thing that happened with A.B.,
this fight,
583
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,334
it happened way before he was killed.
584
00:26:27,335 --> 00:26:30,963
- You know what time he was killed?
- No, no. I'm not saying that.
585
00:26:30,964 --> 00:26:32,923
I'm saying when I saw him
in the Game Room.
586
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:34,091
When Ms. Cox was screaming.
587
00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:36,093
Have you ever been inside Room 301?
588
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:37,386
- What's 301?
- Right there.
589
00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:39,722
Right around the corner.
The northeast corner.
590
00:26:39,723 --> 00:26:44,643
Northeast? I don't know
where the fuck I am, lady. I'm here.
591
00:26:44,644 --> 00:26:47,646
You know what I'm saying?
I go to the Solarium sometimes.
592
00:26:47,647 --> 00:26:49,690
The Game Room. I used to. Not anymore.
593
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:53,360
I mean, the music room. Sometimes
I'll go there and jam a little on my uke.
594
00:26:53,361 --> 00:26:55,779
Have you been in Room 301 tonight?
595
00:26:55,780 --> 00:26:58,866
No, I haven't been to 301.
I just told you. I haven't gone anywhere.
596
00:26:58,867 --> 00:27:01,578
- I've been right fucking here.
- Can anybody vouch for that?
597
00:27:03,705 --> 00:27:06,373
Yes. Yes!
598
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:08,459
The dude who came up
to look at the toilet earlier.
599
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:13,005
The engineer. I don't remember his name,
but he was up here. He saw me.
600
00:27:13,006 --> 00:27:14,298
I didn't see him.
601
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,341
At all?
602
00:27:15,342 --> 00:27:19,554
Well, I saw him when I first got there.
That was kind of unforgettable.
603
00:27:20,263 --> 00:27:23,307
I went up to the third floor around 9.
Something like that.
604
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,518
I knocked quite a few times.
I called out, "Engineer,"
605
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:28,687
like we do,
and when I didn't hear anything,
606
00:27:28,688 --> 00:27:30,649
I opened the door with my key.
607
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:33,318
And he started pushing back.
608
00:27:34,527 --> 00:27:36,695
Yo! Dude, who the fuck are you?
609
00:27:36,696 --> 00:27:38,697
[Bruce] What the fuck is wrong with you?
610
00:27:38,698 --> 00:27:39,616
Goddamnit!
611
00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:43,077
Well, not exactly like I remember it.
612
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:45,454
[Bruce grunts] Can you stop that?
613
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:46,413
[both grunting]
614
00:27:46,414 --> 00:27:48,916
- What the fuck, dude?
- I'm here to fix the toilet!
615
00:27:48,917 --> 00:27:51,377
I don't know who the fuck you are.
You could've been breaking in.
616
00:27:51,378 --> 00:27:53,003
Breaking into the White House?
617
00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:55,382
Uh, yeah.
Dude, you ever hear of Watergate?
618
00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:01,136
I think it's clogged, man,
619
00:28:01,137 --> 00:28:04,431
but be careful, dude,
'cause that shit is gnarly. [laughs]
620
00:28:04,432 --> 00:28:06,475
[Bruce] I went into the bathroom
and got to work.
621
00:28:06,476 --> 00:28:07,685
[Tripp] 900 fucking robes...
622
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:10,938
[Bruce] He was talking for a while.
Ranting about this and that.
623
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:12,690
I didn't know what the fuck he was saying.
624
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:15,402
[Tripp] Of course I'm gonna
take some salt shakers.
625
00:28:16,069 --> 00:28:18,737
[Bruce] At some point,
I realized I hadn't heard him in a while.
626
00:28:18,738 --> 00:28:20,115
I figured he'd passed out.
627
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:23,242
But when I came back out, he was gone.
628
00:28:23,243 --> 00:28:24,576
What time was that?
629
00:28:24,577 --> 00:28:26,204
9:30, maybe.
630
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:30,500
I never left, okay? I'm telling you.
631
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:34,254
If you wanna take a look at somebody,
look at that wacko engineer.
632
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:36,798
Dude wouldn't shut the fuck up
about Wynter.
633
00:28:37,465 --> 00:28:39,633
He kept mumbling about
how pissed off he was.
634
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:42,010
How he was dragged in
on his son's birthday.
635
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:43,721
And Wynter's always pulling this shit.
636
00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:45,723
I'm not a fucking plumber.
I'm an engineer.
637
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:48,183
I got so sick of listening to it,
I had to leave the room.
638
00:28:48,184 --> 00:28:49,561
So you did leave the room?
639
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:55,274
Just right here, though.
To the... just the hallway.
640
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:57,235
That's it. Right here. Right here.
641
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:01,156
Yeah, I... I came out of the room
and just stood here.
642
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:03,574
Like, did not move.
643
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:05,576
Just... frozen.
644
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:08,121
[quirky music playing]
645
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:20,424
I did go downstairs for a minute
to grab some desserts.
646
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,342
Just grab a few of these.
647
00:29:22,343 --> 00:29:24,887
But, I mean, come on.
Did you see those things?
648
00:29:24,888 --> 00:29:26,389
They're pretty fucking rad.
649
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,977
Yeah, I, uh, snagged a couple extra
if you guys are hungry.
650
00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:35,022
So I was, uh, I was downstairs,
I grabbed a few desserts,
651
00:29:35,023 --> 00:29:37,232
and I was back in my room here.
652
00:29:37,233 --> 00:29:40,904
That's it. I swear. I... I did not leave.
653
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,156
You have to believe me.
654
00:29:46,659 --> 00:29:48,369
Why would I kill A.B. Wynter?
655
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:52,080
'Cause that's a question
you can never answer.
656
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:55,209
Because he was going to tell your brother
about all the trouble you were causing
657
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,127
and you knew
your brother wouldn't stand for it
658
00:29:57,128 --> 00:29:58,420
and you'd be out on your own.
659
00:29:58,421 --> 00:30:01,841
Your life would be ruined.
That's literally what you just said.
660
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:08,807
Okay, yeah, that's... that's an answer.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
661
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:11,142
You're good. Yeah, I get it.
662
00:30:12,435 --> 00:30:13,394
But I'm not a killer.
663
00:30:14,437 --> 00:30:19,651
And you know how I know
you know I didn't do this? Hmm?
664
00:30:21,694 --> 00:30:24,154
'Cause I'm a fucking idiot! Okay?
665
00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:25,364
[Tripp laughs]
666
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:28,784
I'm too stupid
and too fucked up to do this.
667
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:30,119
And you know it.
668
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:33,872
Yeah! See?
669
00:30:33,873 --> 00:30:36,959
I win because
I'm a complete fucking loser!
670
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,836
- [repeated beeping]
- [Tripp sighs]
671
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:42,298
Oh man, this fucking watch. Been having
so many problems with it lately.
672
00:30:43,132 --> 00:30:45,092
- [Cupp] What did you see?
- A flashing red light.
673
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:46,218
- Where?
- In the window.
674
00:30:46,219 --> 00:30:47,845
- Which window?
- Room 301.
675
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:51,473
[Tripp] I was gonna go with Apple Watch,
but I just don't trust Apple
676
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:53,267
ever since Steve died, you know?
677
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:54,309
[beeping stops]
678
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:57,604
Not sold on that Tim Cook dude
at all. Like...
679
00:30:57,605 --> 00:30:59,189
[clicks tongue, mutters]
680
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:00,357
[Dokes] Tripp Morgan?
681
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:02,025
- [Cupp] Yes.
- With the robe?
682
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:03,402
- Yes.
- And the feet?
683
00:31:03,403 --> 00:31:04,362
Uh-huh.
684
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:07,573
That's the President's brother.
685
00:31:07,574 --> 00:31:08,740
I am aware of this.
686
00:31:08,741 --> 00:31:11,535
- You think that--
- Uh-uh, no. Don't do that.
687
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:12,787
I don't know.
688
00:31:13,746 --> 00:31:15,039
I don't know.
689
00:31:16,165 --> 00:31:17,917
We need to talk to the President.
690
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:21,588
- What?
- We've got a situation downstairs.
691
00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:25,465
I love saying that. Just feels like
we're in the shit right now, you know?
692
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:26,593
[Park clears throat]
693
00:31:27,302 --> 00:31:30,095
- Uh, they're demanding to be let in.
- You mean to be let out.
694
00:31:30,096 --> 00:31:32,514
No, in. They want to go into the party.
695
00:31:32,515 --> 00:31:34,683
Out of the room, into the party.
696
00:31:34,684 --> 00:31:35,642
Who?
697
00:31:35,643 --> 00:31:38,271
[brisk jazz music playing]
698
00:31:39,647 --> 00:31:43,692
Valentina Motta.
This is my husband, Lorenzo.
699
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:45,444
- We need to get out of here.
- Who are you?
700
00:31:45,445 --> 00:31:47,696
Valentina Motta.
This is my husband, Lorenzo.
701
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:49,615
I got the names.
What are you doing down here?
702
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:53,243
- [Filkins] Please state your name.
- Liz Hollenbeck, Washington Post.
703
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:57,080
Valentina and Lorenzo Motta
were two Washington socialites
704
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:00,167
who arrived at the east entrance
a little after 6:15,
705
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:02,920
mingled with the other guests
in the reception area...
706
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:05,172
- [indistinct chattering]
- [Valentina laughs]
707
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:08,009
[Liz] ...and then met the President
in the receiving line.
708
00:32:09,677 --> 00:32:11,304
And then tried to leave the party early.
709
00:32:13,973 --> 00:32:15,015
- Why?
- [Liz] Why?
710
00:32:15,016 --> 00:32:17,602
Because they weren't actually
invited to the State Dinner.
711
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:21,355
These were not people
the Morgans would socialize with.
712
00:32:21,356 --> 00:32:22,982
[indistinct chattering]
713
00:32:23,566 --> 00:32:25,734
It turns out
they had snuck into the White House.
714
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:27,945
[spectators murmuring]
715
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:29,780
[Lorenzo] We demand to be let out.
716
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:33,116
They took my phone.
Which is against the Constitution.
717
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:36,745
When I saw them, I immediately knew
something was wrong.
718
00:32:36,746 --> 00:32:38,122
Someone crashed the party.
719
00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:40,166
Two people crashed the party.
720
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:44,170
I told Lilly Schumacher.
721
00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:48,924
And me. You told me.
722
00:32:48,925 --> 00:32:50,342
I just missed it.
723
00:32:50,343 --> 00:32:53,887
In my defense, I was also told
that the First Lady of Australia
724
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:55,639
was going into anaphylactic shock,
725
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,017
a Secret Service van had crashed
into the south gate of the White House,
726
00:32:59,018 --> 00:33:02,772
and that there were three people
working here named George McCutcheon.
727
00:33:03,481 --> 00:33:05,733
It's hard to keep track of everything.
728
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:11,406
This was a catastrophic security failure,
and it set off a huge scramble.
729
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:16,535
But Lilly just walked away from it,
like it had nothing to do with her.
730
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:18,578
Hollinger wanted them out immediately,
731
00:33:18,579 --> 00:33:21,957
but A.B. insisted they be held
until the evening was finished,
732
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:24,251
which was consistent
with security protocol.
733
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:27,463
Nobody leaves the White House
before the end of the evening.
734
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:29,214
He wouldn't yield.
735
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:31,008
I've never seen him so stubborn
about anything.
736
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,136
- They've been in this room all night?
- Yes.
737
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:35,178
[Haney] The upper basement.
738
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:38,891
- [muffled voices arguing]
- [Haney] Carpenter's shop. Paint shop...
739
00:33:39,475 --> 00:33:42,060
- Sorry, did you get my phone?
- Working on it.
740
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:43,770
Nobody thought to raise it again?
741
00:33:43,771 --> 00:33:47,399
Nobody knew. It was just Wynter and Lilly
and Hollinger and the Secret Service.
742
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,775
That doesn't seem like nobody.
743
00:33:48,776 --> 00:33:51,112
When I said it just now,
it did sound like a lot of people.
744
00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:55,198
I'm gonna need a background check
on the Mottas. Right now.
745
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:58,493
I want a thorough check of
everyone upstairs against the guest list.
746
00:33:58,494 --> 00:34:00,871
Match every last person
with someone on the list
747
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:03,540
and the footage you have
of everyone entering the party.
748
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,752
Are there any other uninvited guests here?
749
00:34:08,296 --> 00:34:11,673
If Lilly didn't care,
and Hollinger wanted them out,
750
00:34:11,674 --> 00:34:14,010
why was it so important to Wynter
to keep the Mottas here?
751
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:15,761
It was security protocol.
752
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:17,513
Yes, okay, but...
753
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:24,686
- A.B. thought he was being set up.
- Set up?
754
00:34:24,687 --> 00:34:27,898
Encouraged to break protocol
and then be hung out to dry for it.
755
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:29,483
Maybe even lose his job.
756
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:31,819
Why would somebody do that? Set up by who?
757
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:35,406
Harry Hollinger.
758
00:34:36,657 --> 00:34:41,370
A.B. Wynter and Harry Hollinger were not
in a good place tonight, Detective Cupp.
759
00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:43,748
A.B. didn't trust Harry.
760
00:34:44,832 --> 00:34:48,628
There's something I should have told you
about Harry and A.B.
761
00:34:49,128 --> 00:34:51,380
[tense music playing]
762
00:34:53,174 --> 00:34:54,925
The day before the State Dinner,
763
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:58,011
A.B. went up to the second floor
to tell a group of men who had gathered
764
00:34:58,012 --> 00:35:01,014
to meet with the President that
the President was running late.
765
00:35:01,015 --> 00:35:02,350
This was in the Treaty Room.
766
00:35:05,186 --> 00:35:07,355
[muffled voices]
767
00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:10,899
Harry Hollinger, Oliver Root...
768
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:12,150
Director of the CIA?
769
00:35:12,151 --> 00:35:13,819
Yes. And Walpole Bing.
770
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:15,237
The Australian industrialist.
771
00:35:15,238 --> 00:35:16,863
- [camera clicks]
- [Haney] Exactly.
772
00:35:16,864 --> 00:35:19,951
And one of Harry Hollinger's
best friends, apparently.
773
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,578
[quietly] Harry Hollinger
and... Walpole Bing
774
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:25,331
went to boarding school together.
775
00:35:26,249 --> 00:35:29,752
Walpole is... super rich,
into all kinds of weird shit,
776
00:35:30,545 --> 00:35:32,462
and backs Prime Minister Roos,
777
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:36,633
even though most people who back Roos
can't stand Walpole Bing. Including me.
778
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:40,387
- Yeah, I don't know how to describe him.
- Well, that was pretty good.
779
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:41,388
Why do you ask?
780
00:35:41,389 --> 00:35:42,889
Just curious.
781
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:45,852
Nobody is "just curious." Especially you.
782
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:50,314
If you think Walpole Bing has something
to do with this, that changes the dynamic.
783
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:53,943
Do you think Bing
had something to do with this?
784
00:35:54,527 --> 00:35:56,320
I have no reason to think that.
785
00:35:57,405 --> 00:35:59,948
A.B. went into the room--
slipped in quietly--
786
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:03,034
and waited for an opportunity to tell them
about the President running late.
787
00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:05,412
- [Bing] It's illegal, but...
- [Harry] What does "illegal" even mean?
788
00:36:05,413 --> 00:36:08,331
[Haney] That's how you do things.
You don't interrupt. You wait.
789
00:36:08,332 --> 00:36:11,793
They were so intense in their discussion,
they didn't see A.B. for a while.
790
00:36:11,794 --> 00:36:14,171
[Bing] Well, actually,
it is North Korea, but...
791
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:15,881
At some point, Mr. Bing looked up
792
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:18,425
and when he realized
Wynter was standing there,
793
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:21,511
and that he may have been standing there
for a while, he panicked.
794
00:36:21,512 --> 00:36:25,307
Blew up at Wynter
and accused him of spying. Told him to--
795
00:36:25,308 --> 00:36:26,350
Get the fuck out!
796
00:36:29,145 --> 00:36:31,856
Hollinger chased Wynter
back to the Usher's Office.
797
00:36:33,649 --> 00:36:35,526
What the hell were you
doing in there, A.B.?
798
00:36:36,527 --> 00:36:38,528
I just came to tell you
the President was running late.
799
00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:42,158
Well, you didn't tell us
that the President was running late.
800
00:36:42,742 --> 00:36:44,701
Listen to me very carefully, okay?
801
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:47,704
You did not hear anything
that was said in that room.
802
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:50,165
That is true. I did not hear anything
that was said in that room.
803
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:53,251
Goddamnit. You understand what I'm saying.
804
00:36:53,252 --> 00:36:56,421
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I didn't hear any of it.
805
00:36:56,422 --> 00:36:58,131
I literally didn't hear it.
806
00:36:58,132 --> 00:37:01,426
Now here is what is very important
for you to understand, Ms. Cupp.
807
00:37:01,427 --> 00:37:03,637
When we're in a room--
the White House staff--
808
00:37:03,638 --> 00:37:05,680
we don't listen to what is being said.
809
00:37:05,681 --> 00:37:06,807
- I understand.
- Nothing.
810
00:37:07,516 --> 00:37:09,184
I can't tell you
how many rooms I've been in
811
00:37:09,185 --> 00:37:11,186
where I know sensitive things
are being discussed,
812
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:15,315
and I literally have no idea
what is being talked about.
813
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:18,443
Let's say you wanna ask me about
something they are talking about.
814
00:37:18,444 --> 00:37:19,986
I could not tell you.
815
00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:22,072
It's like we're in a fugue state.
816
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,449
There was a butler here
for a long time, Pierce,
817
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:27,119
he used to say hypnosis
couldn't get it out of him.
818
00:37:27,745 --> 00:37:29,871
"Because it just ain't in there."
819
00:37:29,872 --> 00:37:30,789
Famous story:
820
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:33,833
President Reagan told a butler and a chef
821
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:36,670
about the bombing of Libya
before it happened.
822
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:39,798
Nobody in the world
knew this was coming and he tells them.
823
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:41,341
You know what they said?
824
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:43,760
What would you like
for dinner, Mr. President?
825
00:37:43,761 --> 00:37:45,221
It just ain't in there.
826
00:37:46,347 --> 00:37:49,392
I have no idea what you were
talking about, and I don't care.
827
00:37:50,017 --> 00:37:53,228
But I do care about
the way you're talking to me now
828
00:37:53,229 --> 00:37:54,981
and what you're insinuating.
829
00:37:58,025 --> 00:37:58,942
[Wynter sighs]
830
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:03,947
I apologize for any misunderstanding,
Mr. Hollinger.
831
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:06,242
I should have dealt with that better.
832
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:10,370
If you'd like me to reassure
Mr. Bing or Mr. Root
833
00:38:10,371 --> 00:38:15,209
or talk to the President directly,
I am, of course, happy to do it.
834
00:38:16,043 --> 00:38:18,169
[tense music playing]
835
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:21,424
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
836
00:38:27,722 --> 00:38:29,598
[tense music continues]
837
00:38:32,351 --> 00:38:34,686
I found A.B. in his office
a little while later.
838
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:36,772
Just kind of staring off into space.
839
00:38:37,273 --> 00:38:38,773
He told me what happened.
840
00:38:38,774 --> 00:38:41,902
He's not an emotional person.
He was pretty sealed off.
841
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:44,946
But I was fucking pissed.
842
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:46,990
I mean, who does he think he is?
843
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:48,742
It was so unfair.
844
00:38:48,743 --> 00:38:50,910
And it came after
so much shit with these guys.
845
00:38:50,911 --> 00:38:53,955
Not the Morgans so much,
but the people around them.
846
00:38:53,956 --> 00:38:56,750
I said we should go talk to someone.
This wasn't acceptable.
847
00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:58,543
Did A.B. say if he was gonna do anything?
848
00:38:58,544 --> 00:39:02,882
Nothing. And I honestly couldn't tell you
what his reaction was. He looked...
849
00:39:05,134 --> 00:39:06,093
tired.
850
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:10,097
Does Harry Hollinger know
you know about this?
851
00:39:11,432 --> 00:39:13,434
[tense music continues]
852
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:17,813
He knew.
853
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:21,358
- [Dokes] Harry Hollinger?
- Yes.
854
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,735
- Not Tripp Morgan?
- I'm not saying not Tripp Morgan.
855
00:39:23,736 --> 00:39:25,737
I'm saying now
I'm hearing about Harry Hollinger.
856
00:39:25,738 --> 00:39:29,783
You were just in here telling me about
Tripp Morgan and the flashing red light,
857
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:33,119
which puts him in the window
in the room where we have blood.
858
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,122
I am aware. Before that,
I was telling you about David Rylance.
859
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:38,918
And Didier Gotthard.
And Marvella. And Sheila Cannon.
860
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:42,505
[sighs] These are the pieces
I'm trying to put together.
861
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:47,843
Tripp Morgan. Harry Hollinger.
862
00:39:48,928 --> 00:39:51,638
You are flying
very close to the sun here, Cordelia.
863
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,307
It means I'm getting warm, right?
864
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:56,602
Okay. Run this back for me.
865
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:06,653
Harry Hollinger, the President's
best friend and closest adviser...
866
00:40:06,654 --> 00:40:11,157
...has a meeting in the Treaty Room with
the Director of the CIA and Walpole Bing
867
00:40:11,158 --> 00:40:13,201
on the day before the State Dinner.
868
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:15,787
And they're talking
about something sensitive.
869
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:18,957
A.B. Wynter enters the room to do his job,
870
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:21,501
and he's accused of
spying on this meeting.
871
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:24,838
Harry Hollinger chases him
down the hallway after Bing tells him to...
872
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:26,047
[Bix] "Get the fuck out."
873
00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:29,384
And tells him that he didn't hear
any of that. Actually says...
874
00:40:29,385 --> 00:40:31,094
"Keep your fucking mouth shut."
875
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:33,847
Now, here's
where it gets really interesting.
876
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:37,976
The next day, carpenter Eddie Gomez
reports hearing Wynter in his office.
877
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:41,104
He started yelling,
"I'm gonna tell them everything!"
878
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:43,940
Gomez also reports seeing Harry Hollinger...
879
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:45,275
I ran downstairs.
880
00:40:45,276 --> 00:40:48,696
...coming down the stairs
from Wynter's office just seconds later.
881
00:40:49,613 --> 00:40:51,824
[Eddie] And Mr. Hollinger
was right behind me.
882
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:55,076
- Do you see what I'm saying?
- I do.
883
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:57,328
[Cupp] Rollie Bridgewater
told me Hollinger was...
884
00:40:57,329 --> 00:40:58,496
...gone for 22 minutes.
885
00:40:58,497 --> 00:41:01,666
...right around the time
we know that Wynter died.
886
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:03,668
And after Wynter was found dead...
887
00:41:03,669 --> 00:41:06,880
Harry Hollinger was the one
who wanted to call this a suicide
888
00:41:06,881 --> 00:41:08,381
as quickly as possible.
889
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:09,299
It's a suicide.
890
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:10,550
And do not forget...
891
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:11,885
And I do not forget...
892
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:14,179
...that when I went to search
A.B. Wynter's office...
893
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:16,973
- What are you doing in here?
- ...there was Harry Hollinger...
894
00:41:16,974 --> 00:41:19,852
- ...looking for political documents.
- Political documents.
895
00:41:24,690 --> 00:41:27,401
Do you have a question, Senator Bix?
896
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:30,403
Do I have a question?
897
00:41:30,404 --> 00:41:32,739
Oh, yes. [chuckles]
898
00:41:32,740 --> 00:41:35,783
I have a lot of questions, Mr. Chairman.
899
00:41:35,784 --> 00:41:39,705
And I have been waiting a long time
to ask these questions.
900
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:44,167
Why was Harry Hollinger
looking for political documents?
901
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:46,961
What did Harry Hollinger think
Mr. Wynter had heard?
902
00:41:46,962 --> 00:41:49,672
And why was he so angry about it?
903
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:54,594
Where was Harry Hollinger
for the 22 minutes he left the East Room?
904
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:58,640
Why was Harry Hollinger so eager
to call this a suicide
905
00:41:58,641 --> 00:42:01,267
and get Detective Cupp off this case?
906
00:42:01,268 --> 00:42:04,939
But here's the question I have right now.
907
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:10,944
The question that has been hanging
over these entire hearings.
908
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:15,490
The question I have every time
someone sits at that witness table
909
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:19,577
and tells us about what happened
the night A.B. Wynter was murdered.
910
00:42:19,578 --> 00:42:21,872
[suspenseful music playing]
911
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:27,418
The question that begs
so many other questions.
912
00:42:27,419 --> 00:42:29,838
Here is my question, Mr. Chairman:
913
00:42:30,506 --> 00:42:33,508
Where is Cordelia Cupp?
914
00:42:33,509 --> 00:42:35,426
[music intensifies]
915
00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:37,555
- [spectators murmuring]
- [gavel bangs]
916
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:41,225
[solemn instrumental music playing]
