1
00:00:03,996 --> 00:00:05,400
_
2
00:00:08,214 --> 00:00:09,315
Come on.
3
00:00:09,316 --> 00:00:11,151
Come on, let's move. Okay, guys,
4
00:00:11,152 --> 00:00:12,896
let's get what we can and get out fast.
5
00:00:12,897 --> 00:00:14,103
My name is Becca Mason.
6
00:00:14,104 --> 00:00:15,345
My colleagues and I,
7
00:00:15,346 --> 00:00:17,552
with the environmental group
Ocean Relief Foundation,
8
00:00:17,553 --> 00:00:20,017
have managed to sneak ashore
here on Shipwreck Reef.
9
00:00:20,018 --> 00:00:22,353
Until recently, it was
an uninhabited atoll,
10
00:00:22,354 --> 00:00:24,322
home to an incredibly biodiverse
11
00:00:24,323 --> 00:00:25,323
coral reef.
12
00:00:25,324 --> 00:00:26,324
Like many such atolls,
13
00:00:26,325 --> 00:00:28,292
this reef is being developed
14
00:00:28,293 --> 00:00:29,927
by the Chinese military.
15
00:00:29,928 --> 00:00:32,563
And by "developed," I mean demolished.
16
00:00:32,564 --> 00:00:34,198
You can see the construction
17
00:00:34,199 --> 00:00:35,566
going on over there.
18
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:37,502
To build airstrips and radar stations,
19
00:00:37,503 --> 00:00:38,503
they pulverize the coral
20
00:00:38,504 --> 00:00:40,705
and pave over it with concrete,
21
00:00:40,706 --> 00:00:42,406
destroying it forever.
22
00:00:42,407 --> 00:00:44,008
Maybe you're thinking, "So what?
23
00:00:44,009 --> 00:00:45,376
"Who cares about a little speck
24
00:00:45,377 --> 00:00:46,944
in the middle of a faraway sea?"
25
00:00:46,945 --> 00:00:49,380
Then consider this: These reefs
26
00:00:49,381 --> 00:00:53,184
provide one tenth of
all the seafood on Earth,
27
00:00:53,185 --> 00:00:54,986
providing food for millions of people.
28
00:00:56,255 --> 00:00:58,122
What will happen when that food is gone?
29
00:00:59,158 --> 00:01:00,892
We're here because someone needs to act
30
00:01:00,893 --> 00:01:02,426
before it's too late.
31
00:01:02,427 --> 00:01:05,196
We're hoping you'll see this
and that someone will be you.
32
00:01:05,197 --> 00:01:07,297
They're here. Let's go.
33
00:01:07,781 --> 00:01:08,728
_
34
00:01:08,766 --> 00:01:09,967
Do we have it?
35
00:01:09,968 --> 00:01:11,968
Wait, guys, do we have it?!
36
00:01:16,474 --> 00:01:19,477
- We're good.
- Let's get the hell out of here.
37
00:01:19,478 --> 00:01:21,145
_
38
00:01:21,146 --> 00:01:22,712
Becca.
39
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:33,105
I just can't believe you didn't mention
40
00:01:33,106 --> 00:01:34,861
Ray Merchant to the FBI, that's all.
41
00:01:34,862 --> 00:01:36,494
I didn't think it was relevant.
42
00:01:36,495 --> 00:01:37,963
Elizabeth, someone is stalking
43
00:01:37,964 --> 00:01:39,965
our family. How could a former student
44
00:01:39,966 --> 00:01:42,467
who is obsessed with
you not be relevant?
45
00:01:42,468 --> 00:01:45,770
He just wanted me to
be his thesis advisor.
46
00:01:45,771 --> 00:01:48,707
Oh, he wanted you to
be a lot more than that.
47
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:49,941
Okay.
48
00:01:49,942 --> 00:01:52,777
Admittedly, Ray got a little weird.
49
00:01:52,778 --> 00:01:54,346
- A lit...
- And don't say,
50
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:55,947
"Oh, he got a lot more than that."
51
00:01:55,948 --> 00:01:57,482
- Well, he did.
- Yeah, okay.
52
00:01:57,483 --> 00:01:58,483
He did.
53
00:01:58,484 --> 00:01:59,951
He's bipolar,
54
00:01:59,952 --> 00:02:01,987
and the school dealt with it,
55
00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:05,090
and we haven't heard
anything from him since.
56
00:02:05,091 --> 00:02:09,494
You do remember I used to do
this kind of stuff for the CIA.
57
00:02:09,495 --> 00:02:11,062
Can you get your corner, please?
58
00:02:11,063 --> 00:02:12,864
No, I will not, and I don't appreciate
59
00:02:12,865 --> 00:02:14,599
how glib you're being
about this right now.
60
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,501
That's your excuse for not helping.
61
00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:20,305
Okay.
62
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:22,407
That... was a little glib.
63
00:02:22,408 --> 00:02:26,177
What did he say to you
when you turned him down?
64
00:02:26,178 --> 00:02:30,181
He said he wanted to
hurt himself and me.
65
00:02:30,182 --> 00:02:34,452
Okay, but you of all
people, you know how wound up
66
00:02:34,453 --> 00:02:35,787
these gifted kids can get.
67
00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:36,922
Exactly.
68
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:38,423
Do you really think that
a brilliant young guy
69
00:02:38,424 --> 00:02:40,158
with a screw loose couldn't
have pulled off some of the stuff
70
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:42,782
- that's been happening?
- I don't know where Ray Merchant is now,
71
00:02:42,783 --> 00:02:44,429
but I doubt an interview with the FBI
72
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:46,064
would be very good
for his mental health.
73
00:02:46,065 --> 00:02:47,065
That's not my problem.
74
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:49,000
The safety of our family is my problem.
75
00:02:49,001 --> 00:02:51,169
- A problem I caused.
- I... That's not what I meant.
76
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:53,371
Yeah, but that's the truth of it, right?
77
00:02:53,372 --> 00:02:55,974
Someone's threatening our
kids, and it's my fault.
78
00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:57,575
Elizabeth, no one believes in your work,
79
00:02:57,599 --> 00:02:58,977
in you, more than I do.
80
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:01,246
Do you know who else
is obsessed with me?
81
00:03:01,247 --> 00:03:04,516
Hezbollah, ISIS, the Sinaloa Cartel.
82
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:06,685
Any one of them would happily murder
83
00:03:06,686 --> 00:03:08,429
our family if it would
further their agenda.
84
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:11,256
So, you know, that's fun to live with.
85
00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:12,457
Listen to me.
86
00:03:12,458 --> 00:03:14,626
It's just that, a lot of times,
87
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:16,294
stalkers have a personal relationship
88
00:03:16,295 --> 00:03:17,362
with their victims.
89
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:19,164
I had a bad feeling about this kid then,
90
00:03:19,165 --> 00:03:20,148
and I still have it now.
91
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:21,900
Fine.
92
00:03:21,901 --> 00:03:25,869
Y-You want to talk to the
FBI, you can talk to the FBI.
93
00:03:26,972 --> 00:03:28,139
On one condition.
94
00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:29,274
Name it.
95
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:32,877
You have to put the
shams on the big pillows.
96
00:03:32,878 --> 00:03:35,914
I'm sorry, but glib is the
only way I can deal right now.
97
00:03:35,915 --> 00:03:38,249
Oh, man, that's the worst
job in the whole house.
98
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:40,785
Yes, I know.
99
00:03:40,786 --> 00:03:43,054
...and Nadine is wondering
how China's taking
100
00:03:43,055 --> 00:03:45,318
- of the activists from Ocean
Relief Foundation - Thanks.
101
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:48,126
will impact your trip to Vietnam.
102
00:03:48,127 --> 00:03:50,395
You mean the Great Catfish Summit?
103
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:53,264
It's a $360 million industry in the U.S.
104
00:03:53,265 --> 00:03:55,567
Vietnam is undercutting our
producers on the world market.
105
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:57,235
Which is one of the last impediments
106
00:03:57,236 --> 00:03:59,771
to full normalization
between our countries.
107
00:03:59,772 --> 00:04:02,273
I know why I'm going, Blake.
108
00:04:02,274 --> 00:04:06,144
How's your Uncle Fred the
catfish farmer, by the way?
109
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:07,846
E-mailing voluminously, ma'am.
110
00:04:09,115 --> 00:04:12,217
Ooh. In answer to,
uh, Nadine's question,
111
00:04:12,218 --> 00:04:13,451
I see no reason
112
00:04:13,452 --> 00:04:15,620
why the Ocean Relief situation
113
00:04:15,621 --> 00:04:17,489
would impact my trip at this point.
114
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:19,758
Daisy is getting input from the group
115
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,626
and putting together a statement.
116
00:04:21,627 --> 00:04:24,529
Ooh, speaking of statements,
have the Chinese made one yet?
117
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:25,563
Not as yet, no.
118
00:04:25,564 --> 00:04:28,133
Hmm. Well, that's something.
119
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:30,869
The South China Sea is one of
the most dangerous flash points
120
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:32,303
on this planet.
121
00:04:32,304 --> 00:04:34,339
What the hell were those
kids doing out there?
122
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:35,923
Protesting its destruction, apparently.
123
00:04:35,924 --> 00:04:37,375
Which they're not wrong about.
124
00:04:37,376 --> 00:04:40,145
Okay, so, for the briefing,
China's building these bases
125
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:43,214
to assert its claim that it
owns the whole sea because why?
126
00:04:43,215 --> 00:04:44,749
- Oil and gas.
- Shipping lanes.
127
00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:46,084
Fishing's pretty good, too.
128
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:49,087
You guys, 11 billion
proven barrels of oil
129
00:04:49,088 --> 00:04:50,889
underneath the SCS.
That's what China wants.
130
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:52,357
What are we even talking about?
131
00:04:52,358 --> 00:04:54,599
Maybe they want control of
the $5 trillion worth of cargo
132
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,943
that passes through it each year.
133
00:04:55,944 --> 00:04:58,763
$1.2 trillion of which
touches U.S. ports, because,
134
00:04:58,764 --> 00:05:00,467
you know, we buy
everything from China now.
135
00:05:00,468 --> 00:05:02,467
Okay, you want to play
Fun with Numbers? Here.
136
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:05,804
A population of 1.3 billion
with one of the world's
137
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,939
largest fisheries in its backyard.
138
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:10,141
- All I'm saying.
- Oh, and don't forget to note
139
00:05:10,142 --> 00:05:11,805
that tensions have
been rising dangerously
140
00:05:11,806 --> 00:05:13,445
not just with the U.S. but with all
141
00:05:13,446 --> 00:05:14,749
of China's neighbors on the sea.
142
00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:15,814
It's a real powder keg.
143
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,882
God, what the hell were
those kids doing out there?
144
00:05:17,883 --> 00:05:19,918
- Exactly.
- Good luck with the briefing.
145
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,853
Well, with any luck, we might not have
146
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:23,388
to do a briefing at all.
147
00:05:23,389 --> 00:05:25,290
The Chinese haven't even
released a statement.
148
00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:28,226
I'm sure they're not looking
to set off a confrontation
149
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:30,261
over an incident this small.
150
00:05:30,262 --> 00:05:31,996
Besides, Chen and I have
a pretty good relationship.
151
00:05:31,997 --> 00:05:33,431
I'm sure we can sort this out.
152
00:05:33,432 --> 00:05:35,095
I have the foreign
minister ready for you.
153
00:05:35,096 --> 00:05:36,301
- Oh, great. Thank you.
- Yeah.
154
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:38,136
Madam Secretary.
155
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:40,705
I wanted to reach out to
you about this situation
156
00:05:40,706 --> 00:05:42,607
with the activists because
157
00:05:42,608 --> 00:05:44,476
I think it's in both our interests
158
00:05:44,477 --> 00:05:47,712
to resolve this...
misunderstanding quickly.
159
00:05:47,713 --> 00:05:50,682
- I agree.
- Good. So where do we start?
160
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:52,617
Simply acknowledge that
they were trespassing
161
00:05:52,618 --> 00:05:53,885
on Chinese territory,
162
00:05:53,886 --> 00:05:56,488
- and we can go from there.
- Well, obviously,
163
00:05:56,489 --> 00:05:58,957
I'm not gonna do that.
164
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:00,225
Not one country
165
00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:02,427
in the world, mine included,
166
00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:05,530
recognizes the territorial
claims China is making
167
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:07,165
in the South China Sea.
168
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:10,001
Then the Western spies we apprehended
169
00:06:10,002 --> 00:06:12,670
will be tried for
trespassing on our island.
170
00:06:12,671 --> 00:06:15,540
Not only is it not your island,
171
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:18,409
it's not even an island.
172
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:22,347
It's a coral atoll you
illegally annexed and paved over.
173
00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:24,516
And, furthermore, "spies"?
174
00:06:24,517 --> 00:06:26,918
Really? Come on, Ming.
175
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:29,988
We've worked closely together
on a range of incredibly
176
00:06:29,989 --> 00:06:31,089
complex issues.
177
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:34,559
I think we can handle
some hippies on a raft.
178
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,394
I believe I've made
China's position clear.
179
00:06:36,395 --> 00:06:39,797
You would be wise not to meddle
further in our internal affairs.
180
00:06:39,798 --> 00:06:42,100
Then let me be equally clear:
181
00:06:42,101 --> 00:06:45,003
Those activists were
taken on disputed territory
182
00:06:45,004 --> 00:06:46,938
and, therefore, illegally.
183
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:49,607
We want them released immediately.
184
00:06:49,608 --> 00:06:51,609
It seems we have nothing
further to discuss.
185
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:53,645
Good day, Madam Secretary.
186
00:06:53,646 --> 00:06:54,979
Wow.
187
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:56,713
Ming out.
188
00:06:57,649 --> 00:06:59,017
Right?
189
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:00,818
What the hell was that?
190
00:07:00,819 --> 00:07:03,521
Your motorcade is waiting to
take you to the White House.
191
00:07:03,522 --> 00:07:05,122
Good. 'Cause I have some recommendations
192
00:07:05,146 --> 00:07:07,325
for the president.
193
00:07:07,326 --> 00:07:10,094
And after the incident at UVA,
194
00:07:10,095 --> 00:07:13,231
has Mr. Merchant attempted
to... make contact
195
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:14,899
with your wife in any way?
196
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:16,334
Not that we're aware of.
197
00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:17,835
But on social media,
198
00:07:17,836 --> 00:07:20,371
he's been highly critical
of U.S. foreign policy
199
00:07:20,372 --> 00:07:24,509
in general and of my wife specifically.
200
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:25,777
"Secretary McCord's legacy:
201
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:27,345
a string of epic disasters"
202
00:07:27,346 --> 00:07:29,914
"Secretary McCord should be ashamed.
203
00:07:29,915 --> 00:07:32,917
So many innocent lives
ruined.
204
00:07:32,918 --> 00:07:35,420
Tell me, did any of his posts contain
205
00:07:35,421 --> 00:07:39,190
direct threats against the
secretary or your family?
206
00:07:39,191 --> 00:07:40,158
Direct threats, no.
207
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:41,459
Then as much as I might
208
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,161
disagree with them,
209
00:07:43,162 --> 00:07:44,963
the man's entitled to his opinions.
210
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:47,232
Of course. But look at this.
211
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:49,801
On his profile page, under "Works At,"
212
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:51,769
he wrote "I.T. Specialist."
213
00:07:51,770 --> 00:07:55,440
Now, given the technical nature
of the attacks against my family
214
00:07:55,441 --> 00:07:57,064
and his history with
my wife, I would say
215
00:07:57,065 --> 00:07:59,711
that Ray Merchant has
both means and motive.
216
00:07:59,712 --> 00:08:02,180
He might.
217
00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:03,615
As I said, we're looking carefully
218
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:05,350
at a range of potential suspects.
219
00:08:05,351 --> 00:08:08,319
But I assure you, we'll
look at Mr. Merchant as well.
220
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,520
When?
221
00:08:09,521 --> 00:08:11,289
Look, the main thing
222
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:12,953
is for you and your
family to stay calm...
223
00:08:12,954 --> 00:08:15,426
My family is under
attack, Agent Santangelo.
224
00:08:15,427 --> 00:08:17,662
I asked you a question.
225
00:08:17,663 --> 00:08:20,063
When are you going to
look into Ray Merchant?
226
00:08:20,798 --> 00:08:22,667
As soon as possible.
227
00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:24,669
Thank you for your time.
228
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:26,170
Of course.
229
00:08:26,171 --> 00:08:29,173
My regards to the secretary.
230
00:08:29,174 --> 00:08:31,365
Bess, I'm thinking
231
00:08:31,366 --> 00:08:33,367
you should hold off
on your trip to Vietnam
232
00:08:33,368 --> 00:08:34,935
until things are settled with China.
233
00:08:34,936 --> 00:08:37,004
With respect, sir, I disagree.
234
00:08:37,005 --> 00:08:39,740
Oh, I think the catfish can wait.
235
00:08:39,741 --> 00:08:43,109
But our response to
China's aggression can't.
236
00:08:43,878 --> 00:08:45,279
They're up to something.
237
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,047
I don't... I don't know what.
238
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:50,984
Best guess?
239
00:08:51,786 --> 00:08:54,855
They're using this... random event
240
00:08:54,856 --> 00:08:59,193
with these activists showing
up on Shipwreck Reef as...
241
00:08:59,194 --> 00:09:00,762
pretext to go big
242
00:09:00,763 --> 00:09:02,363
in the South China Sea.
243
00:09:02,364 --> 00:09:03,931
To, what, leverage us
244
00:09:03,932 --> 00:09:06,167
into accepting their territorial claims?
245
00:09:06,168 --> 00:09:08,903
Well, why else would
they be so intransigent
246
00:09:08,904 --> 00:09:11,505
when there's so much at stake?
247
00:09:11,506 --> 00:09:13,774
I mean, maybe they've decided
248
00:09:13,775 --> 00:09:15,443
this is their moment.
249
00:09:15,444 --> 00:09:17,144
So what do you suggest we do?
250
00:09:17,145 --> 00:09:18,813
Well,
251
00:09:18,814 --> 00:09:21,080
go to Vietnam.
252
00:09:22,516 --> 00:09:24,684
Together.
253
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,723
A presidential visit would
certainly send the Chinese
254
00:09:28,724 --> 00:09:31,625
a message that we're not blinking.
255
00:09:31,626 --> 00:09:35,129
Furthermore, the catfish
deal got hung up in part
256
00:09:35,130 --> 00:09:36,764
because Vietnam was holding out
257
00:09:36,765 --> 00:09:39,333
for a small amount of
lethal military aid.
258
00:09:39,334 --> 00:09:42,336
I propose that if China
hasn't released the activists
259
00:09:42,337 --> 00:09:44,338
by the time we touch down,
260
00:09:44,339 --> 00:09:45,973
we give Vietnam the kitchen sink.
261
00:09:45,974 --> 00:09:50,511
Wow. Chen must have really
pissed you off this morning.
262
00:09:50,512 --> 00:09:53,246
You'd think he'd know better by now.
263
00:09:54,682 --> 00:09:56,150
How does this
264
00:09:56,151 --> 00:09:58,486
comport with our values?
265
00:09:58,487 --> 00:10:02,123
Vietnam's human rights record
isn't exactly inspirational.
266
00:10:02,124 --> 00:10:04,291
Which is why we'll
include certain benchmarks
267
00:10:04,292 --> 00:10:07,294
that they'll have to meet to
get the hardware they want.
268
00:10:07,295 --> 00:10:10,231
You know, the last time I saw Vietnam
269
00:10:10,232 --> 00:10:12,600
was at the end of my
second tour of duty.
270
00:10:12,601 --> 00:10:14,135
Well, no time like the present.
271
00:10:14,136 --> 00:10:15,669
You'd not only be sending
272
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:18,806
a message to China but to
the Evans campaign as well.
273
00:10:18,807 --> 00:10:21,408
Show that just because you're
running as an independent,
274
00:10:21,409 --> 00:10:22,977
you haven't gone soft on defense.
275
00:10:22,978 --> 00:10:25,557
Which is something that Evans
is always going on about.
276
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,344
Yeah. Pretty rich coming
from a guy who hasn't seen
277
00:10:27,345 --> 00:10:28,768
the inside of a recruitment center,
278
00:10:28,769 --> 00:10:30,046
much less a combat zone.
279
00:10:30,047 --> 00:10:32,082
Well, we all serve in our own way.
280
00:10:32,083 --> 00:10:33,049
Yes.
281
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:34,418
And you served
282
00:10:34,419 --> 00:10:35,385
with honor.
283
00:10:35,386 --> 00:10:37,354
I mean, if you were to revisit
284
00:10:37,355 --> 00:10:39,489
some of your old... I'm not trading
285
00:10:39,490 --> 00:10:41,825
on my military service
for the damn election.
286
00:10:41,826 --> 00:10:42,793
Of course not.
287
00:10:42,794 --> 00:10:43,927
Still,
288
00:10:43,928 --> 00:10:45,429
Bess makes a good point.
289
00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:47,030
China's pushing us.
290
00:10:47,031 --> 00:10:48,498
We need to push back.
291
00:10:48,499 --> 00:10:50,333
The trip's on.
292
00:10:50,334 --> 00:10:51,868
That'll be all.
293
00:10:51,869 --> 00:10:54,169
- Thank you, sir.
- Yes, sir.
294
00:11:00,544 --> 00:11:02,646
Mr. President, I'd
heard wonderful things
295
00:11:02,647 --> 00:11:04,781
about the progress
your country has made,
296
00:11:04,782 --> 00:11:06,550
but those reports pale in comparison
297
00:11:06,551 --> 00:11:08,084
to seeing it firsthand.
298
00:11:08,085 --> 00:11:10,120
Thank you, Mr. President.
299
00:11:10,121 --> 00:11:12,022
We felt you would be more interested
300
00:11:12,023 --> 00:11:13,557
to see Ho Chi Minh City,
301
00:11:13,558 --> 00:11:15,325
which you would
remember from your youth,
302
00:11:15,326 --> 00:11:16,460
than the capital.
303
00:11:16,461 --> 00:11:17,527
If you had told me
304
00:11:17,528 --> 00:11:18,929
when I was a 20-year-old lieutenant
305
00:11:18,930 --> 00:11:20,873
that all these years
later, this is where I'd be,
306
00:11:20,874 --> 00:11:24,008
I'd have told you you're crazy.
307
00:11:24,701 --> 00:11:26,169
If you had told me
308
00:11:26,170 --> 00:11:28,538
that I would even survive the war,
309
00:11:28,539 --> 00:11:31,807
I would have told you you were crazy.
310
00:11:33,176 --> 00:11:36,046
Look at them, strolling and chatting.
311
00:11:36,047 --> 00:11:38,281
You'd never guess they fought
a war against each other.
312
00:11:38,282 --> 00:11:41,718
Well, our countries
have come a long way.
313
00:11:41,719 --> 00:11:44,754
Yes, but not so far that the
president of the United States
314
00:11:44,755 --> 00:11:46,223
just drops by to say hello.
315
00:11:46,224 --> 00:11:48,758
Again, I do apologize
for the short notice.
316
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:51,194
No, it's an honor.
317
00:11:51,195 --> 00:11:53,530
But with all due
respect, Madam Secretary,
318
00:11:53,531 --> 00:11:55,364
I'm waiting for the catch.
319
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:58,235
We came here to discuss
320
00:11:58,236 --> 00:12:00,337
the military aid portion
of the trade deal.
321
00:12:00,338 --> 00:12:01,872
Which we will have to insist upon
322
00:12:01,873 --> 00:12:03,940
if any deal is to go through.
323
00:12:03,941 --> 00:12:06,343
The United States is prepared to lift
324
00:12:06,344 --> 00:12:09,244
the arms embargo entirely.
325
00:12:10,847 --> 00:12:14,383
What's the matter,
catfish got your tongue?
326
00:12:16,686 --> 00:12:18,989
We were prepared for a much bigger fight
327
00:12:18,990 --> 00:12:21,358
over much less.
328
00:12:21,359 --> 00:12:24,995
Well, here's the catch
you were waiting for.
329
00:12:24,996 --> 00:12:26,496
There are certain human rights
330
00:12:26,497 --> 00:12:28,965
and civil society benchmarks
331
00:12:28,966 --> 00:12:31,601
that Vietnam will have
to meet in order to get
332
00:12:31,602 --> 00:12:33,570
the bigger ticket military items.
333
00:12:33,571 --> 00:12:37,107
Dissidents for destroyers. Mm...
334
00:12:37,108 --> 00:12:41,378
Of course, the timing of all this
335
00:12:41,379 --> 00:12:44,714
makes me wonder if this sudden windfall
336
00:12:44,715 --> 00:12:46,816
has something to do with the activists
337
00:12:46,817 --> 00:12:48,485
China recently detained.
338
00:12:48,486 --> 00:12:50,754
Let's just say that we value
339
00:12:50,755 --> 00:12:53,590
your sovereignty in the South China Sea
340
00:12:53,591 --> 00:12:55,924
as much as you do.
341
00:12:59,963 --> 00:13:02,566
Sir, you wanted to see me?
342
00:13:02,567 --> 00:13:05,769
Just wanted to say nice
work putting this together.
343
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:06,870
Thank you.
344
00:13:06,871 --> 00:13:08,004
Yeah.
345
00:13:08,005 --> 00:13:09,472
It was good that I came here.
346
00:13:09,473 --> 00:13:11,840
Well, I think so.
347
00:13:14,911 --> 00:13:17,147
The city's so different now,
348
00:13:17,148 --> 00:13:19,249
but the air...
349
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:21,918
smells, feels the same.
350
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:23,253
Humidity,
351
00:13:23,254 --> 00:13:26,021
smoke from the cooking fires.
352
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:30,694
Just the faintest hint of jasmine.
353
00:13:30,695 --> 00:13:31,828
Oh, I understand.
354
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:33,430
I think.
355
00:13:33,431 --> 00:13:35,699
Every time I go back
to the Middle East...
356
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,701
the heat,
357
00:13:37,702 --> 00:13:39,069
the sand in my clothes.
358
00:13:39,070 --> 00:13:40,971
Well...
359
00:13:40,972 --> 00:13:43,540
it brings a lot of it back.
360
00:13:43,541 --> 00:13:45,841
Not all of it welcome.
361
00:13:50,146 --> 00:13:52,949
Russell's always after me
to tout my service more.
362
00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:55,485
Well, you certainly could.
363
00:13:55,486 --> 00:13:57,020
Got a lot to be proud of.
364
00:13:57,021 --> 00:13:58,154
Don't get me wrong,
365
00:13:58,155 --> 00:14:00,589
I'm proud to have served, but, uh...
366
00:14:02,659 --> 00:14:05,127
...as for what I actually did...
367
00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:08,564
One time...
368
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,902
I came this close
369
00:14:12,903 --> 00:14:15,005
to shooting a woman
370
00:14:15,006 --> 00:14:17,306
and the baby in her arms.
371
00:14:18,708 --> 00:14:20,976
Yep.
372
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,018
I was all jacked up on
adrenaline from a firefight.
373
00:14:28,019 --> 00:14:30,353
Heard footsteps behind
me, so I whirled around,
374
00:14:30,354 --> 00:14:32,621
weapon up, safety off.
375
00:14:34,624 --> 00:14:37,227
I honestly can't tell you
why I didn't pull the trigger.
376
00:14:37,228 --> 00:14:40,597
It sure wasn't wisdom or heroism
377
00:14:40,598 --> 00:14:44,466
or... leadership.
378
00:14:47,704 --> 00:14:50,005
It was luck.
379
00:14:51,908 --> 00:14:55,878
Flash of a feeling, at best.
380
00:14:57,914 --> 00:15:00,316
And that's the difference
between me living
381
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,619
in the White House
382
00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:07,022
instead of on the
street, like so many guys.
383
00:15:13,064 --> 00:15:14,987
Listen to the old marine go on and on.
384
00:15:14,988 --> 00:15:17,216
- No, no, it's okay. I'm...
- Jet lag.
385
00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:19,688
Mr. President, Madam Secretary,
pardon my interruption.
386
00:15:19,689 --> 00:15:20,759
Blake, what's up?
387
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,060
Minister Chen is here and
wants to see you immediately.
388
00:15:23,895 --> 00:15:25,363
Well, that didn't take long.
389
00:15:25,364 --> 00:15:27,464
Guess they got our message.
390
00:15:34,673 --> 00:15:36,775
Minister Chen, what a pleasant surprise.
391
00:15:36,776 --> 00:15:38,043
Is it?
392
00:15:38,044 --> 00:15:39,578
Did you honestly think we would let
393
00:15:39,579 --> 00:15:41,947
these outrageous
provocations go unanswered?
394
00:15:41,948 --> 00:15:44,116
Did you honestly think
395
00:15:44,117 --> 00:15:45,684
we would?
396
00:15:45,685 --> 00:15:48,220
The primary purpose of my visit is
397
00:15:48,221 --> 00:15:50,822
to remind Vietnam we
have many levers to pull
398
00:15:50,823 --> 00:15:53,325
if they choose to take
our friendship for granted.
399
00:15:53,326 --> 00:15:56,394
That's what you call
your history with Vietnam?
400
00:15:56,395 --> 00:15:59,264
A friendship based on mutual respect?
401
00:15:59,265 --> 00:16:01,900
That you would presume to lecture me
402
00:16:01,901 --> 00:16:04,002
on friendship with
Vietnam, when your country
403
00:16:04,003 --> 00:16:07,539
killed millions of
Vietnamese, would be laughable
404
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:10,674
if it weren't so sickening.
405
00:16:19,885 --> 00:16:23,155
Those activists are innocent,
406
00:16:23,156 --> 00:16:26,992
and their families are terrified.
407
00:16:26,993 --> 00:16:28,894
Give 'em back, Ming,
408
00:16:28,895 --> 00:16:31,562
before this goes any further.
409
00:16:33,031 --> 00:16:34,933
To the contrary,
410
00:16:34,934 --> 00:16:37,669
the Ministry of Justice
has moved up their trial.
411
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:40,938
Espionage being such a serious crime.
412
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,175
I warned you not to
meddle in our affairs.
413
00:16:46,111 --> 00:16:49,980
Now there will be consequences.
414
00:17:21,646 --> 00:17:23,748
Tired of those extra pounds
415
00:17:23,749 --> 00:17:26,484
but even more tired of
trying to take them off?
416
00:17:26,485 --> 00:17:29,754
Old-school sit-ups aren't just
hard... they don't even work.
417
00:17:29,755 --> 00:17:32,924
So smash those pounds
away with Pound Smasher.
418
00:17:32,925 --> 00:17:35,060
Pound Smasher's
patented ergonomic design
419
00:17:35,061 --> 00:17:36,962
will melt your waistline fast.
420
00:17:36,963 --> 00:17:40,265
Just minutes a day will
take those belt sizes away.
421
00:17:40,266 --> 00:17:43,635
- So don't just take those extra
pounds lying down. - What the hell?
422
00:17:43,636 --> 00:17:45,303
Smash 'em with Pound Smasher.
423
00:17:45,304 --> 00:17:48,278
Dump that pony keg for
a six-pack and get the...
424
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:49,182
Dad!
425
00:17:49,183 --> 00:17:50,475
I'm here! I'm down here!
426
00:17:50,476 --> 00:17:52,744
What's going on? Why
are all the lights on?
427
00:17:52,745 --> 00:17:54,646
It's like a Stephen King novel up there.
428
00:17:54,647 --> 00:17:57,515
I don't know. It's...
probably just a power surge.
429
00:18:00,553 --> 00:18:02,520
Dr. McCord, is everything all right?
430
00:18:02,521 --> 00:18:04,122
All right, all right, it's okay.
431
00:18:04,123 --> 00:18:06,491
Hey, easy, easy, easy, easy. It's okay.
432
00:18:10,262 --> 00:18:18,083
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
433
00:18:21,023 --> 00:18:23,454
We've taken the house's
appliances offline
434
00:18:23,455 --> 00:18:26,023
so they can't be hacked again.
435
00:18:26,024 --> 00:18:28,526
They shouldn't have been able
to be hacked in the first place.
436
00:18:29,828 --> 00:18:31,862
Did the hackers leave any signatures
437
00:18:31,863 --> 00:18:34,932
- that you can work with?
- So far, it's untraceable.
438
00:18:34,933 --> 00:18:35,774
Hmm.
439
00:18:35,775 --> 00:18:37,275
I understand your frustration.
440
00:18:37,276 --> 00:18:39,344
No, I-I don't think you do.
441
00:18:39,345 --> 00:18:41,046
We live surrounded by security,
442
00:18:41,047 --> 00:18:43,014
and yet somehow these people managed
443
00:18:43,015 --> 00:18:44,916
to essentially get into our home.
444
00:18:44,917 --> 00:18:46,260
Dr. McCord, with all due respect,
445
00:18:46,261 --> 00:18:49,454
whoever did this,
this is what they want:
446
00:18:49,455 --> 00:18:50,755
for you to lose confidence
447
00:18:50,756 --> 00:18:52,891
in the people charged with
protecting your family.
448
00:18:52,892 --> 00:18:55,894
Well, with all due
respect, it's working.
449
00:18:55,895 --> 00:18:57,762
Did you look into Ray Merchant?
450
00:18:57,763 --> 00:18:59,226
He's part of our investigation, yes.
451
00:18:59,227 --> 00:19:00,231
And what did you find?
452
00:19:00,232 --> 00:19:01,599
He's a private citizen.
453
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,501
I can't share those
kinds of details with you.
454
00:19:03,502 --> 00:19:06,705
No leads, no information
sharing, and yet you expect
455
00:19:06,706 --> 00:19:08,840
the secretary of state and her family
456
00:19:08,841 --> 00:19:10,709
to stay in a house
that can't be secured.
457
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:13,478
Do I have that right, Agent Santangelo?
458
00:19:13,479 --> 00:19:14,646
What the hell has to happen
459
00:19:14,647 --> 00:19:16,348
for you people to actually do your jobs?
460
00:19:16,349 --> 00:19:18,116
Dad...
461
00:19:18,117 --> 00:19:19,951
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.
462
00:19:19,952 --> 00:19:21,852
Go upstairs. I'll-I'll
be up in a minute.
463
00:19:27,058 --> 00:19:29,361
Again, the house is offline.
464
00:19:29,362 --> 00:19:32,630
Diplomatic Security's on high alert.
465
00:19:32,631 --> 00:19:34,666
This house is probably the safest place
466
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:36,467
the secretary could be.
467
00:19:38,169 --> 00:19:40,572
And what does that tell you?
468
00:19:40,573 --> 00:19:41,573
How was your trip?
469
00:19:41,574 --> 00:19:43,375
So relaxing.
470
00:19:43,376 --> 00:19:44,976
What can I help you with?
471
00:19:44,977 --> 00:19:46,711
I'm hearing things.
472
00:19:46,712 --> 00:19:49,247
Inside or outside of your head?
473
00:19:49,248 --> 00:19:52,017
A reporter told me he heard
there was a security breach
474
00:19:52,018 --> 00:19:53,451
at your home last night?
475
00:19:53,452 --> 00:19:55,715
Well, then that reporter just
earned himself an exclusive
476
00:19:55,716 --> 00:19:58,690
- with me at an unspecified future date.
- Why?
477
00:19:58,691 --> 00:20:00,314
Because he's not going
to run that story.
478
00:20:00,315 --> 00:20:03,428
I... I...
479
00:20:03,429 --> 00:20:05,764
My...
480
00:20:05,765 --> 00:20:09,000
family and I are being stalked
481
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:12,404
by a very capable individual or group.
482
00:20:12,405 --> 00:20:13,605
Oh, my God.
483
00:20:13,606 --> 00:20:14,973
Well, it is what it is.
484
00:20:14,974 --> 00:20:17,375
But stalkers feed on engagement.
485
00:20:17,376 --> 00:20:18,777
So if this becomes news,
486
00:20:18,778 --> 00:20:21,346
then they will have
achieved their goal, which,
487
00:20:21,347 --> 00:20:22,881
in turn, will encourage them
488
00:20:22,882 --> 00:20:24,416
to continue. You see where I'm going.
489
00:20:24,417 --> 00:20:27,752
I should be able to move him
off without giving anything away.
490
00:20:27,753 --> 00:20:29,087
Yeah. Thank you.
491
00:20:29,088 --> 00:20:33,391
Well, it's a small price
to pay for 20 minutes alone
492
00:20:33,392 --> 00:20:35,727
with our charming and
delightful secretary of state.
493
00:20:35,728 --> 00:20:37,062
She sounds great.
494
00:20:37,063 --> 00:20:38,463
I'd like to meet her someday.
495
00:20:39,665 --> 00:20:41,266
Oh, more good news, I bet.
496
00:20:41,267 --> 00:20:43,001
- Welcome back, ma'am.
- Thank you.
497
00:20:43,002 --> 00:20:46,171
China appears to be
acting on its threats.
498
00:20:46,172 --> 00:20:48,573
- What's going on?
- Well, as you know, the USS
499
00:20:48,574 --> 00:20:50,208
Wayne Morris Carrier Strike Group
500
00:20:50,209 --> 00:20:52,277
has moved into the South China Sea.
501
00:20:52,278 --> 00:20:55,980
Now Chinese fighters are flying
dangerously close to our ships.
502
00:20:55,981 --> 00:20:59,417
Boy, I wish I knew what
they were playing at.
503
00:20:59,418 --> 00:21:01,486
Yeah. And, uh, one other thing.
504
00:21:01,487 --> 00:21:03,521
It seems China plans
505
00:21:03,522 --> 00:21:07,158
to recall their pandas from
the Smithsonian's National Zoo.
506
00:21:07,159 --> 00:21:08,293
Their pandas?
507
00:21:08,294 --> 00:21:09,561
From the National Zoo.
508
00:21:09,562 --> 00:21:10,762
Yes, ma'am.
509
00:21:10,763 --> 00:21:12,464
I thought they were a gift.
510
00:21:12,465 --> 00:21:13,631
They were on loan,
511
00:21:13,632 --> 00:21:15,733
and, apparently, China
512
00:21:15,734 --> 00:21:17,802
can take them back whenever they wish.
513
00:21:17,803 --> 00:21:19,537
So, not a gift then.
514
00:21:19,538 --> 00:21:21,506
Okay, thank you.
515
00:21:21,507 --> 00:21:23,842
Holding our citizens,
516
00:21:23,843 --> 00:21:26,244
buzzing our ships, taking our pandas.
517
00:21:26,245 --> 00:21:28,246
Can't say they're not
covering their bases.
518
00:21:28,247 --> 00:21:30,115
You tell me there's
fresh coffee in here.
519
00:21:30,116 --> 00:21:32,817
There is. Also Jay and Tom Murphy,
520
00:21:32,818 --> 00:21:35,320
the head of the Ocean Relief Foundation.
521
00:21:35,321 --> 00:21:37,655
Ah. Thanks.
522
00:21:39,191 --> 00:21:40,859
Mr. Murphy,
523
00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:42,327
pleasure to meet you.
524
00:21:42,328 --> 00:21:45,096
I'm sorry it's under such
challenging circumstances.
525
00:21:45,097 --> 00:21:46,431
Thank you, Madam Secretary.
526
00:21:46,432 --> 00:21:47,866
I was just assuring Mr. Murphy
527
00:21:47,867 --> 00:21:51,035
that the State Department is
deeply concerned about the fate
528
00:21:51,036 --> 00:21:53,505
of the Ocean Relief
members in Chinese custody.
529
00:21:53,506 --> 00:21:54,772
And I was just about to say
530
00:21:54,773 --> 00:21:56,807
you sure have a funny way of showing it.
531
00:21:58,843 --> 00:22:01,513
I sense your disrespectful tone
532
00:22:01,514 --> 00:22:03,248
is meant to goad me into asking,
533
00:22:03,249 --> 00:22:04,782
"What do you mean by that?"
534
00:22:04,783 --> 00:22:06,251
Our server.
535
00:22:06,252 --> 00:22:07,852
Well, it was hacked.
536
00:22:07,853 --> 00:22:09,621
Pretty much fried.
537
00:22:09,622 --> 00:22:12,657
Years of files, terabytes
of heavily encrypted data
538
00:22:12,658 --> 00:22:14,292
just... pfft... gone, overnight.
539
00:22:14,293 --> 00:22:17,195
Curious timing, no?
540
00:22:17,196 --> 00:22:19,164
Indeed. Have you spoken with the FBI?
541
00:22:19,165 --> 00:22:20,532
The FBI.
542
00:22:20,533 --> 00:22:22,396
As if they haven't been
harassing us for years.
543
00:22:22,397 --> 00:22:25,370
Look, uh, Madam Secretary,
544
00:22:25,371 --> 00:22:28,506
we tell the people
what they need to hear.
545
00:22:28,507 --> 00:22:30,475
Okay? Big corporations
546
00:22:30,476 --> 00:22:32,143
and their lackeys in government
547
00:22:32,144 --> 00:22:33,344
don't appreciate that.
548
00:22:33,345 --> 00:22:35,446
I-I'm sorry, but are
you kidding me with this?
549
00:22:35,447 --> 00:22:37,916
We're trying to free your
colleagues and-and you come here
550
00:22:37,917 --> 00:22:39,984
and spin out some paranoid fantasy?
551
00:22:39,985 --> 00:22:42,220
Mr. Murphy, we're on your side.
552
00:22:42,221 --> 00:22:44,422
Why would we hack your server?
553
00:22:44,423 --> 00:22:47,058
The U.S. and China are business
partners in the South China Sea
554
00:22:47,059 --> 00:22:48,362
just as often as they're rivals.
555
00:22:48,363 --> 00:22:49,727
You're not gonna let little things
556
00:22:49,728 --> 00:22:51,196
like the health of the planet
557
00:22:51,197 --> 00:22:52,797
and food security for millions of people
558
00:22:52,798 --> 00:22:54,131
get in the way of all that money.
559
00:22:54,132 --> 00:22:55,900
Uh-huh. Got it.
560
00:22:55,901 --> 00:22:57,135
You're pretty self-righteous for a guy
561
00:22:57,136 --> 00:22:58,457
who sent a bunch of 20-somethings
562
00:22:58,458 --> 00:23:00,359
into one of the most
dangerous places on Earth.
563
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:01,472
They knew what they were
564
00:23:01,473 --> 00:23:03,074
getting into.
565
00:23:03,075 --> 00:23:05,677
Based on my understanding
566
00:23:05,678 --> 00:23:08,846
of the Chinese judicial system...
567
00:23:08,847 --> 00:23:11,815
I can assure you they did not.
568
00:23:14,452 --> 00:23:16,020
Tell me, uh,
569
00:23:16,021 --> 00:23:18,489
when did your server go down?
570
00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:19,924
Uh...
571
00:23:19,925 --> 00:23:22,493
shortly after we, uh, lost contact
572
00:23:22,494 --> 00:23:24,695
with Becca and the others.
573
00:23:26,798 --> 00:23:29,434
Mr. Murphy, thanks for coming in.
574
00:23:29,435 --> 00:23:31,336
We didn't hack your server,
575
00:23:31,337 --> 00:23:33,280
and we're gonna try and
get your colleagues back,
576
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:35,907
and I will keep you up
to date with our progress.
577
00:23:35,908 --> 00:23:39,210
Thanks for coming in. Blake.
578
00:23:39,211 --> 00:23:40,812
Well...
579
00:23:40,813 --> 00:23:42,914
he was right about one thing...
580
00:23:42,915 --> 00:23:44,716
the timing is pretty strange.
581
00:23:44,717 --> 00:23:45,917
I think it's safe
582
00:23:45,918 --> 00:23:48,987
to assume the U.S.
didn't hack Ocean Relief,
583
00:23:48,988 --> 00:23:53,024
so that leaves the most obvious suspect.
584
00:23:53,025 --> 00:23:55,860
Exactly.
585
00:23:55,861 --> 00:23:57,996
You were right, ma'am.
The root kit involved
586
00:23:57,997 --> 00:24:01,499
had all the signatures of the
other Chinese cyber attacks.
587
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,501
Do you think this is just revenge
588
00:24:03,502 --> 00:24:06,337
for the activists making
the Chinese look bad,
589
00:24:06,338 --> 00:24:07,972
or something more concrete?
590
00:24:07,973 --> 00:24:09,741
Um, Madam Secretary, if I may...
591
00:24:11,277 --> 00:24:13,780
Moments prior to their capture,
the activists on Shipwreck Reef
592
00:24:13,781 --> 00:24:16,781
uploaded a couple of video files
to the Ocean Relief's network,
593
00:24:16,782 --> 00:24:18,783
and the Chinese used
594
00:24:18,784 --> 00:24:20,767
a brute-force attack to
gain access to the server,
595
00:24:20,768 --> 00:24:22,920
then initiated a script
to wipe all the files.
596
00:24:22,921 --> 00:24:24,224
They weren't taking any chances.
597
00:24:24,225 --> 00:24:25,356
Well, can you recover 'em?
598
00:24:25,357 --> 00:24:27,959
I'll do my absolute best, ma'am.
599
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,061
- Great work so far.
- Oh, thank you, ma'am.
600
00:24:30,062 --> 00:24:31,863
You know you don't have to say "ma'am"
601
00:24:31,864 --> 00:24:33,264
after every time, Captain.
602
00:24:33,265 --> 00:24:35,266
Yes, ma'am. Ah, sorry.
603
00:24:35,267 --> 00:24:38,036
It's just, uh, habit.
And also... nerves.
604
00:24:38,037 --> 00:24:40,104
You're kind of my hero.
605
00:24:40,105 --> 00:24:41,506
Happens to the best of us.
606
00:24:41,507 --> 00:24:44,008
You're on secondment to Oliver Shaw
607
00:24:44,009 --> 00:24:45,476
- from CyberCom?
- Yes.
608
00:24:45,477 --> 00:24:48,713
So how come you're not in Silicon Valley
609
00:24:48,714 --> 00:24:50,682
inventing distracting apps?
610
00:24:50,683 --> 00:24:53,917
I like fighting bad guys.
611
00:24:54,686 --> 00:24:56,554
Me, too.
612
00:24:56,555 --> 00:24:59,090
Okay, obviously, these
activists stumbled on something
613
00:24:59,091 --> 00:25:01,192
some of the Chinese
wanted to keep hidden.
614
00:25:01,193 --> 00:25:03,059
Question is, what?
615
00:25:08,097 --> 00:25:10,426
I got a call from FBI Director
616
00:25:10,427 --> 00:25:12,187
- Doherty this morning.
- Calling to complain
617
00:25:12,188 --> 00:25:13,731
that I yelled at Santangelo, no doubt.
618
00:25:13,732 --> 00:25:14,731
No, I think
619
00:25:14,732 --> 00:25:16,466
it was for the opposite reason.
620
00:25:16,467 --> 00:25:18,034
It was like a customer service call.
621
00:25:18,035 --> 00:25:20,470
He wanted to make sure
that I'm satisfied.
622
00:25:20,471 --> 00:25:21,671
Good.
623
00:25:21,672 --> 00:25:23,907
No, Henry, not good.
624
00:25:23,908 --> 00:25:26,709
These are the people charged
with protecting our lives.
625
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:28,144
We need to trust them.
626
00:25:28,145 --> 00:25:30,046
What if they're not up to the job, huh?
627
00:25:30,047 --> 00:25:32,615
The FBI and Diplomatic Security.
Do you ever think about that?
628
00:25:32,616 --> 00:25:35,251
No. Because, if I did, I'd have to quit.
629
00:25:35,252 --> 00:25:37,754
Look, I know that
630
00:25:37,755 --> 00:25:41,191
this Ray Merchant
theory is compelling...
631
00:25:41,192 --> 00:25:43,159
Don't talk to me like I'm crazy.
632
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,661
Then stop acting like it.
633
00:25:44,662 --> 00:25:47,063
The kids were terrified last
night. Do you understand that?
634
00:25:47,064 --> 00:25:48,198
Yes, and you
635
00:25:48,199 --> 00:25:50,033
getting obsessed about it isn't helpful.
636
00:25:50,034 --> 00:25:51,367
I am not just
637
00:25:51,368 --> 00:25:53,568
- gonna sit back and do nothing.
- Be better if you did.
638
00:25:53,569 --> 00:25:55,329
- Am I embarrassing you now?
- You know what?
639
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:57,407
We're both stressed and
tired, so I'm gonna choose
640
00:25:57,408 --> 00:25:58,741
to believe you didn't mean that.
641
00:25:58,742 --> 00:26:00,575
- Elizabeth, I...
- No, I got to go.
642
00:26:02,345 --> 00:26:03,580
So, the pack
643
00:26:03,581 --> 00:26:05,548
was all over me about
China at the briefing.
644
00:26:05,549 --> 00:26:07,817
But you'll be happy to know
that the reporter I mentioned
645
00:26:07,818 --> 00:26:09,592
is quietly awaiting
his one-on-one with you.
646
00:26:10,154 --> 00:26:13,088
- Thank you. Well done.
- We're not sending 'em back.
647
00:26:14,023 --> 00:26:15,158
Russell Jackson, ma'am.
648
00:26:15,159 --> 00:26:16,593
Who are we not sending back?
649
00:26:16,594 --> 00:26:18,862
What do you mean, who? The pandas.
650
00:26:18,863 --> 00:26:21,598
Not Tian Tian, not Bao
Bao, not little Bei Bei...
651
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:24,934
none of them. They're ours,
and they're staying right here,
652
00:26:24,935 --> 00:26:27,604
- do you understand?
- Technically, they're not ours.
653
00:26:27,605 --> 00:26:30,148
China's thrown the rule book out
the window, so don't talk to me
654
00:26:30,149 --> 00:26:33,109
about "technically." It's time
to draw a line in the sand.
655
00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:34,644
Well, I couldn't agree more.
656
00:26:34,645 --> 00:26:38,381
I'm just... I'm not so sure
this is quite the issue.
657
00:26:38,382 --> 00:26:41,985
Oh, no? Then let me ask
you this: How many people
658
00:26:41,986 --> 00:26:46,356
visit the National Zoo each
year just to see those pandas?
659
00:26:46,357 --> 00:26:48,157
- Millions.
- That's right.
660
00:26:48,158 --> 00:26:50,660
Millions. So, on top of
all the other humiliations
661
00:26:50,661 --> 00:26:53,229
that China is visiting upon our heads,
662
00:26:53,230 --> 00:26:55,531
those millions of voters
663
00:26:55,532 --> 00:26:56,833
are about to watch us surrender
664
00:26:56,834 --> 00:26:59,435
their favorite charismatic megafauna...
665
00:26:59,436 --> 00:27:01,871
the very crown jewels
of our National Zoo...
666
00:27:01,872 --> 00:27:03,473
without a single damn shot!
667
00:27:03,474 --> 00:27:05,875
Not on my watch, lady.
It is not happening.
668
00:27:05,876 --> 00:27:07,176
So...
669
00:27:07,177 --> 00:27:09,445
you want us to stop them?
670
00:27:09,446 --> 00:27:11,481
What do you think I'm here for?
671
00:27:11,482 --> 00:27:14,550
Well, just... No
offense, Russell, but I...
672
00:27:14,551 --> 00:27:16,619
Don't you think, maybe,
you're-you're letting
673
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:18,922
the tail wag the panda here?
674
00:27:18,923 --> 00:27:21,057
Oh, you want to make fun?
675
00:27:21,058 --> 00:27:22,725
- Mm...
- Well, go ahead.
676
00:27:22,726 --> 00:27:26,195
Guess what. In international relations,
677
00:27:26,196 --> 00:27:27,964
symbols matter.
678
00:27:27,965 --> 00:27:30,500
In elections, even more so.
I'll give you another example.
679
00:27:30,501 --> 00:27:34,070
At the zoo, they've got this
camera set up in their habitat.
680
00:27:34,071 --> 00:27:36,806
- Panda Cam.
- That's right. One day, very soon,
681
00:27:36,807 --> 00:27:38,775
the Panda Cam will go dark.
682
00:27:38,776 --> 00:27:40,643
And when it does, and kids
683
00:27:40,644 --> 00:27:42,912
all over America start crying
684
00:27:42,913 --> 00:27:45,481
'cause Bei Bei's not
in his little house,
685
00:27:45,482 --> 00:27:47,684
who do you think their
parents are gonna blame?
686
00:27:47,685 --> 00:27:50,320
China gets it, believe me.
687
00:27:50,321 --> 00:27:51,754
Uh, so do I.
688
00:27:53,524 --> 00:27:56,191
We're on it.
689
00:27:57,093 --> 00:27:58,728
Wait.
690
00:27:58,729 --> 00:28:00,096
You're a Panda-Cammer, too?
691
00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:01,630
Shut up.
692
00:28:02,966 --> 00:28:05,201
It's relaxing.
693
00:28:05,202 --> 00:28:07,903
It's good for my blood pressure.
694
00:28:09,572 --> 00:28:11,040
Who saw that coming?
695
00:28:11,041 --> 00:28:12,909
A-mazing.
696
00:28:12,910 --> 00:28:14,477
Well, you heard the man.
697
00:28:14,478 --> 00:28:16,612
Save our pandas.
698
00:28:16,613 --> 00:28:18,014
Oh, no.
699
00:28:18,015 --> 00:28:19,482
Get on it.
700
00:28:19,483 --> 00:28:21,451
What do you got for me?
701
00:28:21,452 --> 00:28:22,885
Something I shouldn't.
702
00:28:22,886 --> 00:28:25,254
My buddy at the Bureau came through.
703
00:28:25,255 --> 00:28:27,190
He got me some intel on your friend,
704
00:28:27,191 --> 00:28:28,191
Ray Merchant.
705
00:28:28,192 --> 00:28:29,292
And?
706
00:28:29,293 --> 00:28:32,095
So, after UVA, Merchant
707
00:28:32,096 --> 00:28:34,639
applied for government work but
couldn't get security clearance.
708
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,299
Problem with his background check.
709
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,467
Something he could blame Elizabeth for.
710
00:28:39,235 --> 00:28:40,503
Unable to find work
711
00:28:40,504 --> 00:28:42,505
in the hallowed halls of government
712
00:28:42,506 --> 00:28:44,273
writing reports nobody would ever read,
713
00:28:44,274 --> 00:28:46,242
our young misfit goes
back to school again.
714
00:28:46,243 --> 00:28:47,243
Computers this time?
715
00:28:47,244 --> 00:28:48,978
Cyber security, to be exact.
716
00:28:48,979 --> 00:28:50,346
He's two for two. What else?
717
00:28:50,347 --> 00:28:51,714
You're not gonna like this one.
718
00:28:51,715 --> 00:28:52,915
What is it?
719
00:28:52,916 --> 00:28:54,817
He got fired a couple of years ago.
720
00:28:54,818 --> 00:28:56,318
Sexually harassed a coworker.
721
00:28:57,053 --> 00:28:58,388
Well, he fits the profile
722
00:28:58,389 --> 00:29:00,957
- to a tee.
- Look... is he your guy?
723
00:29:00,958 --> 00:29:02,291
I don't know.
724
00:29:02,292 --> 00:29:04,494
But you're not wrong to
think that he might be.
725
00:29:04,495 --> 00:29:06,863
What are the Feds doing about it?
726
00:29:06,864 --> 00:29:09,098
My buddy didn't say, but
I'm sure they're into it.
727
00:29:09,099 --> 00:29:11,000
So now it's time to
let them do their thing.
728
00:29:11,001 --> 00:29:13,369
- Okay?
- Okay, yeah. Sure.
729
00:29:13,370 --> 00:29:15,571
Meantime, just try to
keep your mind off of it.
730
00:29:15,572 --> 00:29:17,907
How about we grab a beer tomorrow night?
731
00:29:17,908 --> 00:29:19,574
Thanks, Jose.
732
00:29:23,346 --> 00:29:25,148
Did you know that U.S. zoos pay China
733
00:29:25,149 --> 00:29:26,849
$2 million per year for the pandas
734
00:29:26,850 --> 00:29:28,384
- in our country?
- They are worth it.
735
00:29:28,385 --> 00:29:29,986
A quarter of which is supposed to be
736
00:29:29,987 --> 00:29:32,722
allocated for the preservation
of panda habitat in the wild.
737
00:29:32,723 --> 00:29:35,024
Yeah, they need their
bamboo, don't they?
738
00:29:35,025 --> 00:29:36,826
- Yes, you do.
- Hey, Blake. Blake.
739
00:29:36,827 --> 00:29:38,294
- Sorry.
- Here's the thing.
740
00:29:38,295 --> 00:29:40,678
- Guess what China hasn't been doing.
- Allocating a quarter
741
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:42,965
of the funds towards the
panda habitat preservation?
742
00:29:42,966 --> 00:29:44,109
Not according to this report
743
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:46,269
by a consortium of environmental groups.
744
00:29:46,270 --> 00:29:48,304
- Does China accept that?
- Nope.
745
00:29:48,305 --> 00:29:50,973
- But we did.
- Well, then, we can make the argument
746
00:29:50,974 --> 00:29:53,157
that they are in breach of
their half of the agreement.
747
00:29:53,158 --> 00:29:55,211
Therefore, we don't have
to give the pandas back.
748
00:29:55,212 --> 00:29:57,647
That's got to be good
enough for Russell Jackson.
749
00:29:57,648 --> 00:29:59,015
Let's hope so.
750
00:29:59,016 --> 00:30:01,884
By the way, can we talk about
his obsession with Panda Cam?
751
00:30:01,885 --> 00:30:02,952
How weird is that?
752
00:30:02,953 --> 00:30:05,254
Oh, I get it, man. I
am all in... Oh, yes!
753
00:30:05,255 --> 00:30:06,923
You are tired from your snack
754
00:30:06,924 --> 00:30:08,958
and need a nap in the sun.
755
00:30:08,959 --> 00:30:11,127
- Hi. Can I help you?
- Uh, Captain Ronnie Baker
756
00:30:11,128 --> 00:30:13,029
from Oliver Shaw's office,
to see the secretary?
757
00:30:13,030 --> 00:30:15,131
Yes, the secretary's expecting you.
758
00:30:15,132 --> 00:30:16,431
Wait.
759
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,367
You're Ronnie?
760
00:30:18,368 --> 00:30:19,635
Yes, ma'am.
761
00:30:19,636 --> 00:30:21,003
From Oliver's office?
762
00:30:21,004 --> 00:30:22,605
Yes, ma'am.
763
00:30:22,606 --> 00:30:24,907
You don't have to call me "ma'am."
764
00:30:24,908 --> 00:30:26,476
We're like the same age.
765
00:30:26,477 --> 00:30:28,243
S-Sorry. It's a habit.
766
00:30:29,145 --> 00:30:31,280
Oh, my God. You're Daisy,
767
00:30:31,281 --> 00:30:32,915
from... from you know. From his
768
00:30:32,916 --> 00:30:35,518
- personal life.
- And you're Ronnie. From work.
769
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:36,686
And texts about work.
770
00:30:36,687 --> 00:30:39,489
"Sorry, I have to take
this text during dinner,
771
00:30:39,490 --> 00:30:41,424
national security is at stake' Ronnie.
772
00:30:41,425 --> 00:30:43,491
Yep. That's me.
773
00:30:44,327 --> 00:30:46,696
- We thought you were a guy.
- Oh.
774
00:30:46,697 --> 00:30:49,899
Yeah, no. I just love your guys's story.
775
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,934
I kind of want to give you a hug,
776
00:30:51,935 --> 00:30:53,436
but that's weird, right?
777
00:30:53,437 --> 00:30:55,304
- Mm...
- Oh? Okay.
778
00:30:55,305 --> 00:30:57,006
Aw.
779
00:30:57,007 --> 00:30:58,574
Oh! Secretary's ready for you.
780
00:30:58,575 --> 00:31:00,775
I'm going.
781
00:31:01,177 --> 00:31:03,246
Definitely not a dude.
782
00:31:03,247 --> 00:31:05,114
She's sweet.
783
00:31:05,115 --> 00:31:06,883
Madam Secretary.
784
00:31:06,884 --> 00:31:08,551
Oh. Captain Baker.
785
00:31:08,552 --> 00:31:10,853
Were you able to recover the files?
786
00:31:10,854 --> 00:31:13,489
Yeah... Well, the good news
is they didn't have time
787
00:31:13,490 --> 00:31:15,525
to securely erase them all.
788
00:31:15,526 --> 00:31:19,495
So the hackers overwrote parts
of the files with random data,
789
00:31:19,496 --> 00:31:21,397
so we had some trouble
reconstructing them.
790
00:31:21,398 --> 00:31:23,132
But we found these
791
00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:26,269
among the most recently uploaded files.
792
00:31:26,270 --> 00:31:27,470
...I mean demolished.
793
00:31:27,471 --> 00:31:29,939
You can see the construction
going on over there.
794
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:32,141
To build airstrips and radar stations,
795
00:31:32,142 --> 00:31:33,543
they pulverize the coral
796
00:31:33,544 --> 00:31:35,611
and pave over it with concrete,
797
00:31:35,612 --> 00:31:37,113
destroying it forever.
798
00:31:37,114 --> 00:31:39,148
She seems like good people.
799
00:31:39,149 --> 00:31:40,816
Yeah, she does.
800
00:31:40,817 --> 00:31:44,253
There's not really anything
here, unfortunately.
801
00:31:44,254 --> 00:31:47,623
Didn't you say there was footage
from a second camera, or...?
802
00:31:47,624 --> 00:31:50,326
Yeah. Here it is.
803
00:31:50,327 --> 00:31:51,727
Maybe you're thinking, "So what?
804
00:31:51,728 --> 00:31:53,930
"Who cares about a
little speck in the middle
805
00:31:53,931 --> 00:31:55,064
- of a faraway sea?"
- No.
806
00:31:55,065 --> 00:31:56,899
This just looks like more of the same.
807
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:58,534
These reefs provide...
808
00:31:58,535 --> 00:32:00,269
Wait, wait, wait.
809
00:32:00,270 --> 00:32:02,805
Can-Can you make this...
810
00:32:02,806 --> 00:32:06,209
- go back?
- Yeah.
811
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:08,477
These reefs provide one tenth
812
00:32:08,478 --> 00:32:10,111
of all seafood on...
813
00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:12,448
Right there.
814
00:32:12,449 --> 00:32:14,584
What the hell is that?
815
00:32:14,585 --> 00:32:16,953
It's a mobile launch pad.
816
00:32:16,954 --> 00:32:20,189
Specifically, a TAS5450 8x8
817
00:32:20,190 --> 00:32:22,124
special heavy-duty truck.
818
00:32:22,125 --> 00:32:23,793
Designed to deploy Dong-Feng 15
819
00:32:23,794 --> 00:32:25,257
Tactical-Theatre Ballistic Missiles.
820
00:32:25,258 --> 00:32:26,035
From that position,
821
00:32:26,036 --> 00:32:28,097
China can strike major
population centers
822
00:32:28,098 --> 00:32:30,266
all over Southeast Asia within minutes.
823
00:32:30,267 --> 00:32:33,769
And effectively demand control
over the entire South China Sea.
824
00:32:33,770 --> 00:32:35,271
This is why they were being
825
00:32:35,272 --> 00:32:38,474
so aggressive with the
Ocean Relief activists,
826
00:32:38,475 --> 00:32:39,942
why they hacked the server.
827
00:32:39,943 --> 00:32:42,144
They wanted to keep
the world in the dark
828
00:32:42,145 --> 00:32:43,648
until the missiles could be deployed.
829
00:32:43,649 --> 00:32:46,749
Why didn't we know about
this until now, General?
830
00:32:46,750 --> 00:32:49,085
The launcher was camouflaged
from aerial surveillance.
831
00:32:49,086 --> 00:32:50,586
We could never get close enough
832
00:32:50,587 --> 00:32:51,787
for ground-level observation.
833
00:32:51,788 --> 00:32:53,522
So you're telling me we owe this
834
00:32:53,523 --> 00:32:54,790
game-changing intelligence coup
835
00:32:54,791 --> 00:32:58,760
to a lucky break from
Scooby and the gang?
836
00:32:59,629 --> 00:33:00,963
Unbelievable.
837
00:33:00,964 --> 00:33:02,898
And if the launcher is already there,
838
00:33:02,899 --> 00:33:05,568
the missiles are only
days away from delivery.
839
00:33:05,569 --> 00:33:07,072
This is a massive escalation.
840
00:33:07,073 --> 00:33:10,842
And China needs to know
that it won't stand.
841
00:33:18,927 --> 00:33:22,000
Madam Secretary, I don't know where
you're getting this information.
842
00:33:22,001 --> 00:33:24,368
From the server you tried to destroy.
843
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:25,736
But we'll come back
844
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:28,138
to the cyber warfare another time.
845
00:33:28,139 --> 00:33:30,207
You've got bigger problems right now.
846
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:32,943
Do I? Because I have no idea
what you're talking about.
847
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:34,178
And, you know,
848
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:36,280
it's a good thing you don't.
849
00:33:36,281 --> 00:33:39,249
It was a mistake that your military
850
00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:40,784
didn't loop you in.
851
00:33:40,785 --> 00:33:42,486
Because...
852
00:33:42,487 --> 00:33:46,657
with your close personal ties
to the American government,
853
00:33:46,658 --> 00:33:49,827
I am sure you could have
told them with certainty
854
00:33:49,828 --> 00:33:53,397
that we will never permit
those missiles to be deployed.
855
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:55,899
It is not for the United States
to tell us what is permitted.
856
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,202
On your own territory.
857
00:33:58,203 --> 00:34:00,404
But let's... let's put a pin
858
00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:04,107
in the sovereignty stuff for now.
859
00:34:05,175 --> 00:34:07,111
Because if your neighbors find out
860
00:34:07,112 --> 00:34:11,715
that you secretly planned to
settle this issue at gunpoint,
861
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:14,885
I think they would be
more than supportive
862
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:17,087
of the U.S.'s response.
863
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:19,023
And what sort of response might that be?
864
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:21,525
China's deployment of
that missile launcher
865
00:34:21,526 --> 00:34:23,794
violently upsets the status quo.
866
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:26,263
And our response, therefore,
867
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:30,666
will be equally violent and upsetting.
868
00:34:31,368 --> 00:34:33,370
Indeed...
869
00:34:33,371 --> 00:34:35,906
I am shocked
870
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:37,541
that I was not made privy
871
00:34:37,542 --> 00:34:40,210
to such a drastic step
on my government's part.
872
00:34:40,211 --> 00:34:42,780
I knew that you would be troubled.
873
00:34:42,781 --> 00:34:44,648
If I were to offer some suggestions
874
00:34:44,649 --> 00:34:47,785
to my president as to
how we might de-escalate,
875
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,653
what might they be?
876
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:51,522
Well, for starters,
877
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:55,725
we've looked into it, and we're
not giving the pandas back.
878
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,868
Sir, that bogey's coming
around for another pass.
879
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:06,503
It's coming in too low, sir!
880
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:08,004
All stations, brace for impact.
881
00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:12,309
The Chinese pilot buzzed the Morris,
882
00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:14,745
flew too low and clipped the tower.
883
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:18,148
So far, three sailors have
died and 16 others are wounded.
884
00:35:18,149 --> 00:35:20,517
NSC and Joint Chiefs are
waiting in the Sit Room.
885
00:35:20,518 --> 00:35:22,486
I told the networks
that you wanted airtime
886
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:24,662
to address the nation
later this evening.
887
00:35:24,663 --> 00:35:25,355
Good.
888
00:35:25,356 --> 00:35:29,592
Evans already has his campaign
pumping out tweets. The ghoul.
889
00:35:31,395 --> 00:35:32,863
Sir, when I spoke to Minister Chen
890
00:35:32,864 --> 00:35:34,732
hours before this
incident, he seemed prepared
891
00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:36,400
to accept our terms.
892
00:35:36,401 --> 00:35:38,569
"Seemed" being the operative word.
893
00:35:38,570 --> 00:35:40,804
I'm not saying China is innocent.
894
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:41,972
I'm saying...
895
00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:44,274
the wheels turn slowly over there.
896
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:46,577
So the leadership was still digesting
897
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,979
the message we sent Chen
when this incident occurred?
898
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,114
Tragically, yes.
899
00:35:50,115 --> 00:35:51,538
With all due respect,
900
00:35:51,539 --> 00:35:54,218
an accident caused
by reckless aggression
901
00:35:54,219 --> 00:35:55,964
isn't much different from an attack.
902
00:35:55,965 --> 00:35:58,927
They're holding our citizens,
attempting to put missiles
903
00:35:58,928 --> 00:36:01,091
into the SCS.
904
00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:02,526
And now this.
905
00:36:02,527 --> 00:36:04,928
How much more provocation do we need?
906
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:06,430
To do what, exactly?
907
00:36:06,431 --> 00:36:08,398
- Respond in kind.
- A few days ago,
908
00:36:08,399 --> 00:36:11,135
you were lobbying for a
harder line against China.
909
00:36:11,136 --> 00:36:13,504
You really think they've
changed their stripes since then?
910
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,806
Of course not, but I do
think that the pressure
911
00:36:15,807 --> 00:36:17,674
we put on them was effective.
912
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:19,610
So let's-let's be smart.
913
00:36:19,611 --> 00:36:21,445
I mean, if we can get them
914
00:36:21,446 --> 00:36:23,313
to back down in the South China Sea,
915
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:26,083
that is a huge win for global stability,
916
00:36:26,084 --> 00:36:29,119
but if we stumble in to
some military conflict,
917
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,389
once that starts, no one
knows how that's gonna end.
918
00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:35,425
We have to take a beat
before we retaliate.
919
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,628
Take a beat to do what?
920
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:39,730
Talk to President Li.
921
00:36:39,731 --> 00:36:41,465
I think China's about to blink.
922
00:36:41,466 --> 00:36:45,068
My advice is we let them.
923
00:36:45,069 --> 00:36:46,503
What makes you so sure
924
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:49,372
they won't interpret our
restraint as weakness?
925
00:36:50,307 --> 00:36:54,644
Flash of a feeling, at best.
926
00:36:58,898 --> 00:36:59,598
_ _
927
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:16,734
Dr. McCord.
928
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:19,404
What a coincidence.
929
00:37:19,405 --> 00:37:21,839
Good evening.
930
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,708
Jose called you.
931
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:26,109
How about we take a walk?
932
00:37:29,314 --> 00:37:31,149
Your friend did you a favor.
933
00:37:31,150 --> 00:37:32,383
Yeah, how's that?
934
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:34,752
We spoke to Ray Merchant.
935
00:37:34,753 --> 00:37:36,321
Had a good, long talk with him.
936
00:37:36,322 --> 00:37:38,923
And, frankly, you were right
to bring him to our attention.
937
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:42,393
The man has... issues.
938
00:37:42,394 --> 00:37:44,429
But he's not our guy.
939
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:46,230
How can you be sure?
940
00:37:46,231 --> 00:37:49,067
Is he unbalanced? Probably.
941
00:37:49,068 --> 00:37:50,401
Still obsessed with your wife?
942
00:37:50,402 --> 00:37:53,438
Maybe, but this is what we know:
943
00:37:53,439 --> 00:37:55,106
The night your house was hacked,
944
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:56,674
multiple witnesses put Merchant
945
00:37:56,675 --> 00:37:59,077
at a campsite in the
Blue Ridge Mountains
946
00:37:59,078 --> 00:38:01,779
with no Internet access.
947
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:05,483
An attack this sophisticated
requires real-time input.
948
00:38:05,484 --> 00:38:06,718
He could have paid someone.
949
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,019
Possibly, but I doubt it.
950
00:38:08,020 --> 00:38:09,253
You've seen his house.
951
00:38:09,254 --> 00:38:10,655
Look like he could afford to?
952
00:38:10,656 --> 00:38:12,297
Let alone hire two goons to mug you
953
00:38:12,298 --> 00:38:13,931
and steal your son's computer?
954
00:38:16,627 --> 00:38:17,962
No.
955
00:38:17,963 --> 00:38:20,665
But I'll tell you what
he's more than capable of.
956
00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:22,500
Suing the next person that shows up
957
00:38:22,501 --> 00:38:24,168
at his front door asking questions
958
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:25,837
about his relationship with your wife.
959
00:38:25,838 --> 00:38:27,205
Suing...
960
00:38:27,206 --> 00:38:29,005
or maybe worse.
961
00:38:30,375 --> 00:38:32,409
I understand. Thank you.
962
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:36,247
Go home, Dr. McCord.
963
00:38:36,248 --> 00:38:38,181
Your family needs you.
964
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:46,023
Good evening, my fellow Americans.
965
00:38:46,024 --> 00:38:49,894
As many of you are aware, earlier today,
966
00:38:49,895 --> 00:38:51,696
a Chinese fighter jet
967
00:38:51,697 --> 00:38:54,565
struck the aircraft
carrier USS Wayne Morris
968
00:38:54,566 --> 00:38:56,134
in the South China Sea,
969
00:38:56,135 --> 00:38:58,703
taking the lives of
three American sailors
970
00:38:58,704 --> 00:39:00,171
and wounding many others.
971
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:02,340
I spoke earlier to my
counterpart, President Li,
972
00:39:02,341 --> 00:39:04,609
of the People's Republic of China,
973
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:07,612
to voice America's outrage
at this reckless act
974
00:39:07,613 --> 00:39:10,415
and unnecessary loss of life.
975
00:39:10,416 --> 00:39:13,684
President Li expressed sincere
regret over the incident.
976
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:16,554
More importantly, he has
agreed to several steps
977
00:39:16,555 --> 00:39:19,824
to be outlined in the coming
days to de-escalate the crisis
978
00:39:19,825 --> 00:39:21,659
in the South China Sea
979
00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:25,163
so that another such tragedy
does not happen again.
980
00:39:25,164 --> 00:39:27,698
Many of you are angry.
981
00:39:27,699 --> 00:39:29,834
I share your anger.
982
00:39:29,835 --> 00:39:32,770
There are also some who would
capitalize on this tragedy
983
00:39:32,771 --> 00:39:35,606
to score political points.
984
00:39:35,607 --> 00:39:38,843
It's easy to lash out
when your blood is up.
985
00:39:38,844 --> 00:39:40,812
Easier still to talk tough
986
00:39:40,813 --> 00:39:43,281
when no one's life hangs in the balance.
987
00:39:43,282 --> 00:39:44,849
But when leading,
988
00:39:44,850 --> 00:39:48,753
whether a platoon of
marines or an entire nation,
989
00:39:48,754 --> 00:39:52,690
history judges us by the
wisdom of our actions.
990
00:39:52,691 --> 00:39:54,926
We will defend our interests,
991
00:39:54,927 --> 00:39:57,328
and our friends and
allies in the region.
992
00:39:57,329 --> 00:40:00,531
And we will hold China accountable.
993
00:40:00,532 --> 00:40:05,336
But we will not start a
war over one reckless act.
994
00:40:05,337 --> 00:40:08,473
Our thoughts and prayers go
out to the grieving families
995
00:40:08,474 --> 00:40:12,075
of our brave sailors who gave
their lives in our service.
996
00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:14,879
Thank you.
997
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,681
And may God bless America.
998
00:40:32,196 --> 00:40:33,865
They're free!
999
00:40:33,866 --> 00:40:35,833
- Hey!
- Good.
1000
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:37,568
Chen kept his word.
1001
00:40:37,569 --> 00:40:39,169
I mean, they'll still
have to stand trial
1002
00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:41,273
at the International Tribunal
for the Law of the Sea.
1003
00:40:41,274 --> 00:40:43,126
Well, that's to help China save face.
1004
00:40:43,127 --> 00:40:45,362
Worst-case scenario, they pay a fine.
1005
00:40:45,363 --> 00:40:47,044
And we're keeping the
fact that China tried
1006
00:40:47,045 --> 00:40:49,146
- to put missiles on the reef a secret?
- Again...
1007
00:40:49,147 --> 00:40:50,834
saving face.
1008
00:40:50,835 --> 00:40:52,936
Well, the main this is
they've agreed to talks
1009
00:40:52,937 --> 00:40:56,673
with their neighbors, and
in the interim they won't be
1010
00:40:56,674 --> 00:40:59,910
leveling reefs to
build military outposts.
1011
00:40:59,911 --> 00:41:02,479
Which, if it isn't exactly
a win for the environment,
1012
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,515
is at least a break in
the ongoing catastrophe.
1013
00:41:05,516 --> 00:41:07,417
On that buoyant note, I'm going home.
1014
00:41:07,418 --> 00:41:08,618
- Good night.
- Good night.
1015
00:41:08,619 --> 00:41:10,819
Is everything all right, ma'am?
1016
00:41:11,721 --> 00:41:13,123
Good night, guys.
1017
00:41:13,124 --> 00:41:15,459
- Good night.
- Night-night.
1018
00:41:15,460 --> 00:41:18,028
I wasn't wrong about that kid.
1019
00:41:18,029 --> 00:41:19,663
You weren't right, either.
1020
00:41:19,664 --> 00:41:22,899
Okay. I should have
trusted you about it.
1021
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:25,502
Yeah. You should have.
1022
00:41:25,503 --> 00:41:27,204
God only knows what you would have done
1023
00:41:27,205 --> 00:41:28,338
if you'd confronted him.
1024
00:41:28,339 --> 00:41:29,973
And then what? Then-then where are we?
1025
00:41:29,974 --> 00:41:32,107
What do you want me to say?
1026
00:41:33,109 --> 00:41:35,679
Look...
1027
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,148
The one thing I try never to
be in my life is powerless.
1028
00:41:40,383 --> 00:41:42,786
You and the kids are everything.
1029
00:41:42,787 --> 00:41:45,856
The idea that all we can do is sit here
1030
00:41:45,857 --> 00:41:47,757
and wait for the next
terrible thing to happen,
1031
00:41:47,758 --> 00:41:49,993
it makes me feel...
1032
00:41:49,994 --> 00:41:52,229
Angry.
1033
00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:54,496
Yeah. Angry.
1034
00:41:55,999 --> 00:41:58,768
And scared.
1035
00:41:58,769 --> 00:42:01,104
Really scared.
1036
00:42:01,105 --> 00:42:03,773
I hate it.
1037
00:42:03,774 --> 00:42:07,277
I know. Me, too.
1038
00:42:17,888 --> 00:42:25,488
