1
00:00:00,721 --> 00:00:03,325
President Conrad Dalton's
inauguration is only one day
2
00:00:03,326 --> 00:00:05,410
away, but he's still
facing a legal challenge
3
00:00:05,411 --> 00:00:07,134
to the legitimacy of his win.
4
00:00:07,204 --> 00:00:08,850
Governor Sam Evans filed a lawsuit
5
00:00:08,851 --> 00:00:10,908
against the state of
Ohio for allowing Dalton
6
00:00:10,909 --> 00:00:11,869
to be put on the ballot,
7
00:00:11,870 --> 00:00:13,707
citing a little known
anti-lobbying law called
8
00:00:13,708 --> 00:00:15,009
the Vasey Act.
9
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:17,153
Today we've learned the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals
10
00:00:17,154 --> 00:00:18,279
has agreed to hear the case.
11
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,781
If the court rules
12
00:00:19,782 --> 00:00:20,849
in Evans' favor,
13
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:23,184
it could not only revoke
Dalton's presidency,
14
00:00:23,185 --> 00:00:24,853
it could spark a constitutional crisis
15
00:00:24,854 --> 00:00:26,621
that would shake the very foundation
16
00:00:26,622 --> 00:00:28,356
our government was built upon.
17
00:00:28,357 --> 00:00:30,191
What's shaking the very foundation now?
18
00:00:30,192 --> 00:00:32,460
We begin our team coverage in...
19
00:00:32,461 --> 00:00:34,262
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals
20
00:00:34,263 --> 00:00:35,563
has agreed to hear Evans' case
21
00:00:35,564 --> 00:00:36,831
against Ohio.
22
00:00:36,832 --> 00:00:39,067
Unbelievable. What are they thinking?
23
00:00:39,068 --> 00:00:42,403
Are they really gonna uphold
some obscure law from 1893?
24
00:00:42,404 --> 00:00:44,138
We'll find out.
25
00:00:44,139 --> 00:00:45,573
Oh, hey,
26
00:00:45,574 --> 00:00:46,608
here's something weird.
27
00:00:46,609 --> 00:00:49,177
I got a call from the CIA.
28
00:00:49,178 --> 00:00:53,681
They want me to come in for
an Ex Post Facto Re-debrief
29
00:00:53,682 --> 00:00:55,450
regarding Black Dog Station.
30
00:00:55,451 --> 00:00:59,153
Well, I was in the CIA for 20 years
31
00:00:59,154 --> 00:01:00,088
and I've never heard of
32
00:01:00,089 --> 00:01:03,358
an Ex Post Facto Re-debrief.
33
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:04,880
When they shut down the operation down
34
00:01:04,881 --> 00:01:05,984
they called it a "hotwash."
35
00:01:05,985 --> 00:01:09,163
Now they want to get me debriefed.
36
00:01:09,164 --> 00:01:10,765
Why does all their
terminology sound like
37
00:01:10,766 --> 00:01:12,389
something that happens
in a nursing home?
38
00:01:13,869 --> 00:01:15,403
Baby, you okay?
39
00:01:15,404 --> 00:01:17,372
Yeah. Why?
40
00:01:17,373 --> 00:01:20,308
When you get anxious you
take it out on your clothes.
41
00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:27,482
Evans is naming me
specifically in the lawsuit.
42
00:01:27,483 --> 00:01:29,250
He's accusing me
43
00:01:29,251 --> 00:01:33,421
of making overtures to
influence Ohio state senators.
44
00:01:33,422 --> 00:01:35,156
When I did that NFL thing
45
00:01:35,157 --> 00:01:36,157
in Ohio,
46
00:01:36,158 --> 00:01:40,161
I also took some
legislators out to dinner.
47
00:01:40,162 --> 00:01:41,529
Applebee's.
48
00:01:41,530 --> 00:01:43,231
That's where they wanted to go.
49
00:01:43,232 --> 00:01:46,501
I unduly influenced them with
potato skins and hot wings.
50
00:01:46,502 --> 00:01:49,938
Look, I think the only reason
they're hearing the case
51
00:01:49,939 --> 00:01:52,307
is so that Evans can't cry foul.
52
00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:53,608
They're not gonna
53
00:01:53,609 --> 00:01:56,077
upend all of American
politics over this.
54
00:01:56,078 --> 00:01:57,478
Well, either way,
55
00:01:57,479 --> 00:01:59,347
the whole thing is putting a damper
56
00:01:59,348 --> 00:02:00,515
on the inauguration tomorrow.
57
00:02:00,516 --> 00:02:02,083
- Hey, guys.
- Hi.
58
00:02:02,084 --> 00:02:04,686
- Are you cleaning out your closet?
- Maybe.
59
00:02:04,687 --> 00:02:06,788
So this is a good time to talk about
60
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:08,623
what you're wearing
to the inaugural ball?
61
00:02:08,624 --> 00:02:10,792
As good a time as any, I guess.
62
00:02:10,793 --> 00:02:12,927
A stylist is gonna bring some gowns
63
00:02:12,928 --> 00:02:15,830
to the office and I'm
gonna choose from those.
64
00:02:15,831 --> 00:02:16,898
Really?
65
00:02:16,899 --> 00:02:18,166
Can I come?
66
00:02:18,167 --> 00:02:20,001
Oh, you can do better than that.
67
00:02:20,002 --> 00:02:21,269
You can choose for me.
68
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:22,870
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
69
00:02:22,871 --> 00:02:24,305
Can I also blog about it?
70
00:02:24,306 --> 00:02:25,340
Blog your heart out.
71
00:02:25,341 --> 00:02:26,674
You're the best.
72
00:02:26,675 --> 00:02:28,495
I'll come to your office
right after school.
73
00:02:33,748 --> 00:02:36,616
Okay, my mood is starting
to turn around a little bit.
74
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:41,222
- Wow.
- Hey, you're looking very
75
00:02:41,223 --> 00:02:43,291
young DC professional
76
00:02:43,292 --> 00:02:44,759
poised to take over the world,
77
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,694
with just a dash of girlish charm.
78
00:02:46,695 --> 00:02:49,764
Well, that is exactly
what I was going for.
79
00:02:49,765 --> 00:02:51,131
Oh, that's right.
80
00:02:51,132 --> 00:02:53,475
It's the first day of your
internship with Russell Jackson.
81
00:02:53,476 --> 00:02:54,335
Are you excited?
82
00:02:54,336 --> 00:02:56,571
With just a dash of terrified.
83
00:02:56,572 --> 00:02:58,906
I still can't believe
he offered me the job.
84
00:02:58,907 --> 00:03:00,508
You saved the guy's
life, I think he felt
85
00:03:00,509 --> 00:03:01,692
it was the least he could do.
86
00:03:01,693 --> 00:03:03,378
He's really scary, though.
87
00:03:03,379 --> 00:03:06,981
Oh, trust me, there is way more bark
88
00:03:06,982 --> 00:03:08,616
than bite with him.
89
00:03:08,617 --> 00:03:10,344
And that was before the heart attack.
90
00:03:10,345 --> 00:03:11,386
I mean, he's just coming back from
91
00:03:11,387 --> 00:03:13,021
a three-week whale-watching cruise.
92
00:03:13,022 --> 00:03:15,063
If that doesn't mellow
you out, nothing can.
93
00:03:15,758 --> 00:03:17,725
Oh, Lord.
94
00:03:17,726 --> 00:03:20,395
Inauguration week is
really getting to Blake.
95
00:03:20,396 --> 00:03:24,298
- Bye, guys. - Bye.
- Bye, Dad.
96
00:03:24,299 --> 00:03:25,482
Hi, Blake, everything's good,
97
00:03:25,483 --> 00:03:27,735
I'm just on my way to the office.
98
00:03:27,736 --> 00:03:29,670
Whoa, slow down, slow down, slow down.
99
00:03:29,671 --> 00:03:32,206
Blake, I thought we talked about decaf.
100
00:03:32,207 --> 00:03:34,742
What...
101
00:03:34,743 --> 00:03:36,010
Gifts?
102
00:03:38,113 --> 00:03:39,747
Wow.
103
00:03:39,748 --> 00:03:41,883
You weren't exaggerating.
104
00:03:41,884 --> 00:03:43,217
Yeah.
105
00:03:43,218 --> 00:03:44,519
Sorry for sounding overwhelmed
106
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,621
and possibly even a
little nudgy, it's just
107
00:03:46,622 --> 00:03:49,424
I can't move any of these
until you sign off on them.
108
00:03:49,425 --> 00:03:51,626
Then they have to be processed
by the Protocol Gift Unit
109
00:03:51,627 --> 00:03:52,602
and-and catalogued
110
00:03:52,603 --> 00:03:53,623
by the National Archive.
111
00:03:53,624 --> 00:03:55,727
And there's a room on the
third floor that looks like
112
00:03:55,728 --> 00:03:56,731
Ali Baba's cave.
113
00:03:56,732 --> 00:03:57,899
It's okay.
114
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:59,200
We'll get through it together.
115
00:03:59,201 --> 00:04:01,002
No, we won't.
116
00:04:01,003 --> 00:04:02,737
Now I have to go to
the Port of Baltimore
117
00:04:02,738 --> 00:04:04,305
to sign for a gift from
118
00:04:04,306 --> 00:04:07,375
Byambyn Sendoo, the Mongolian
minister of education.
119
00:04:07,376 --> 00:04:08,743
Why do you have to sign for it?
120
00:04:08,744 --> 00:04:09,777
They wouldn't say.
121
00:04:09,778 --> 00:04:11,679
They were being very Port Authoritarian.
122
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,516
All right, look, you,
uh, go sign for the gift,
123
00:04:15,517 --> 00:04:18,820
and I'll start signing off on these,
124
00:04:18,821 --> 00:04:22,590
and-and we'll just think
of the whole thing as...
125
00:04:22,591 --> 00:04:23,658
an adventure.
126
00:04:23,659 --> 00:04:26,594
Adventures in hell.
127
00:04:26,595 --> 00:04:27,562
I'm sorry.
128
00:04:27,563 --> 00:04:29,106
Madam Secretary, I will course-correct
129
00:04:29,107 --> 00:04:30,698
immediately. You know,
130
00:04:30,699 --> 00:04:31,899
it's good to be the winner.
131
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,335
- These are the spoils of victory.
- Yeah.
132
00:04:34,336 --> 00:04:35,879
I mean, unless the Sixth Circuit Court
133
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,005
finds in favor of Sam Evans.
134
00:04:38,006 --> 00:04:39,373
Then we have to send it all back.
135
00:04:39,374 --> 00:04:41,642
Hmm?
136
00:04:41,643 --> 00:04:42,844
Go.
137
00:04:42,845 --> 00:04:44,545
Drive safe.
138
00:04:44,546 --> 00:04:45,947
- What?
- Just for that,
139
00:04:45,948 --> 00:04:48,081
- you're gonna help me sort.
- Awesome.
140
00:04:49,052 --> 00:04:50,341
Oh, boy.
141
00:04:50,342 --> 00:04:51,919
- What's that?
- It's nothing.
142
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Go, go.
143
00:04:55,656 --> 00:04:57,024
Sort.
144
00:04:57,025 --> 00:04:58,593
Uh, what are the categories?
145
00:04:58,594 --> 00:04:59,760
Uh...
146
00:04:59,761 --> 00:05:01,384
Don't worry about it,
my dad's a hoarder.
147
00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:02,230
I'll figure it out.
148
00:05:04,433 --> 00:05:06,968
Oh.
149
00:05:06,969 --> 00:05:08,369
Russell.
150
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:10,271
Welcome back.
151
00:05:10,272 --> 00:05:11,272
How are you feeling?
152
00:05:11,273 --> 00:05:12,907
Top-notch.
153
00:05:12,908 --> 00:05:15,476
So... the cruise was great?
154
00:05:15,477 --> 00:05:17,979
The cruise was excruciating.
155
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:19,180
Three weeks of watching
156
00:05:19,181 --> 00:05:21,883
what's left of the glaciers float past
157
00:05:21,884 --> 00:05:23,067
and trying to catch a glimpse
158
00:05:23,068 --> 00:05:24,352
of a whale.
159
00:05:24,353 --> 00:05:26,193
Damn leisure time is
gonna kill me a lot faster
160
00:05:26,194 --> 00:05:26,973
than my arteries.
161
00:05:26,974 --> 00:05:28,756
Well, it's nice to have you back.
162
00:05:28,757 --> 00:05:31,959
Jumping right into the fire, no
less, with this Evans debacle.
163
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,943
We thought you might
want to lend a voice
164
00:05:33,944 --> 00:05:35,015
to our strategy session.
165
00:05:35,016 --> 00:05:37,398
Figuring out some way
to derail this lawsuit.
166
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,402
I'm not sure where
there's much room to move.
167
00:05:41,403 --> 00:05:43,437
We can't influence the court.
168
00:05:43,438 --> 00:05:46,407
No, but we can put
them under a spotlight.
169
00:05:46,408 --> 00:05:50,745
Launch a press campaign pointing
out the lack of precedent,
170
00:05:50,746 --> 00:05:53,281
lean hard on the court's obligation
171
00:05:53,282 --> 00:05:54,905
to consider the
stability of the country,
172
00:05:54,906 --> 00:05:56,617
the sanctity of the Electoral College.
173
00:05:56,618 --> 00:05:58,719
Of course, that approach
relies on appealing
174
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,588
to people's higher nature and...
175
00:06:00,589 --> 00:06:02,423
you know how much faith I have in that.
176
00:06:02,424 --> 00:06:04,125
Or we can try to influence Evans.
177
00:06:04,126 --> 00:06:06,260
Who doesn't have a higher
nature to appeal to.
178
00:06:06,261 --> 00:06:08,629
He might be able to
listen to reason, and...
179
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:11,799
as the aggrieved party, he
can withdraw the complaint.
180
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,534
We can remind him that if he persists,
181
00:06:13,535 --> 00:06:15,570
he won't only be burning
bridges in Washington,
182
00:06:15,571 --> 00:06:18,772
he risks burning down American
democracy in the process.
183
00:06:21,609 --> 00:06:23,110
Okay,
184
00:06:23,111 --> 00:06:26,012
y-you guys are really gonna
make me be the one to say it?
185
00:06:27,348 --> 00:06:28,716
The oppo research.
186
00:06:31,186 --> 00:06:32,720
What happened to being a knight?
187
00:06:32,721 --> 00:06:36,157
The painkillers have worn off.
188
00:06:36,158 --> 00:06:37,592
And they've upped the game.
189
00:06:37,593 --> 00:06:39,976
This is isn't about trying to
influence an election anymore.
190
00:06:39,977 --> 00:06:40,895
Election's over.
191
00:06:40,896 --> 00:06:42,396
This is about dissuading someone
192
00:06:42,397 --> 00:06:44,465
from blatantly abusing the court system
193
00:06:44,466 --> 00:06:46,167
to change the results.
194
00:06:46,168 --> 00:06:47,401
Look,
195
00:06:47,402 --> 00:06:49,737
i-it's not even as dirty as it sounds.
196
00:06:49,738 --> 00:06:52,607
The guy has the gene for
early-onset Alzheimer's
197
00:06:52,608 --> 00:06:54,942
and he didn't disclose
the genetic testing
198
00:06:54,943 --> 00:06:57,078
with the rest of his health report.
199
00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:00,081
Now, who knows, maybe the
voting public wouldn't care.
200
00:07:00,082 --> 00:07:01,981
But they had the right to know.
201
00:07:03,684 --> 00:07:05,686
I can't bring myself to do it, Russell.
202
00:07:05,687 --> 00:07:08,489
We'll just have to let the
chips fall where they may.
203
00:07:08,490 --> 00:07:10,157
What about offering Evans
204
00:07:10,158 --> 00:07:12,126
a position in the White House?
205
00:07:12,127 --> 00:07:13,427
Some sort of advisor.
206
00:07:13,428 --> 00:07:14,996
Maybe even a Cabinet post.
207
00:07:14,997 --> 00:07:18,165
Something prestigious that
we could also live with.
208
00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:22,837
It's unifying and bipartisan.
209
00:07:22,838 --> 00:07:24,438
Who knows, we might even learn something
210
00:07:24,462 --> 00:07:25,473
from his point of view.
211
00:07:25,474 --> 00:07:28,376
Pushed it a little there at the end.
212
00:07:28,377 --> 00:07:31,879
But... there is an argument to be made
213
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,017
for keeping him close by.
214
00:07:36,018 --> 00:07:37,350
It's doable.
215
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,121
Then let's do it.
216
00:07:45,459 --> 00:07:46,794
Abdul-Hafiz Bakkal.
217
00:07:46,795 --> 00:07:48,663
- I've never heard of him.
- Dabir Fakoury?
218
00:07:48,664 --> 00:07:50,898
Dabir Fakoury's an ISIS leader.
219
00:07:50,899 --> 00:07:52,900
Did he ever cross paths
with Hizb Al-Shahid
220
00:07:52,901 --> 00:07:54,702
during your time with Black Dog Station?
221
00:07:54,703 --> 00:07:56,537
Not that I know of.
222
00:07:56,538 --> 00:07:59,840
So you're tracking a connection
223
00:07:59,841 --> 00:08:02,443
between HS and ISIS?
224
00:08:02,444 --> 00:08:03,411
What about Yunis Hamawi?
225
00:08:03,412 --> 00:08:06,614
Also ISIS.
226
00:08:06,615 --> 00:08:08,649
Did his name ever come up?
227
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:11,185
You guys want to tell
me what this is about?
228
00:08:11,186 --> 00:08:12,553
I might actually be able to help.
229
00:08:12,554 --> 00:08:14,217
So you never found
any concrete connection
230
00:08:14,218 --> 00:08:16,957
between HS and ISIS other
than a shared ideology.
231
00:08:16,958 --> 00:08:18,793
They don't have a shared ideology,
232
00:08:18,794 --> 00:08:20,328
they have a common goal.
233
00:08:20,329 --> 00:08:21,829
A shared ideology would make them
234
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:23,931
much more dangerous, and, again,
235
00:08:23,932 --> 00:08:25,299
do you want to let me in on that?
236
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:26,523
We're not authorized to do so,
237
00:08:26,524 --> 00:08:27,835
- Dr. McCord.
- Excuse me,
238
00:08:27,836 --> 00:08:29,870
you're aware of my involvement
239
00:08:29,871 --> 00:08:32,473
in both operations that
effectively dismantled HS,
240
00:08:32,474 --> 00:08:35,810
and yet you're telling me that
my clearance isn't high enough
241
00:08:35,811 --> 00:08:37,745
to be filled in?
242
00:08:37,746 --> 00:08:39,412
That's what we're telling you.
243
00:08:40,815 --> 00:08:43,217
I think we've gotten everything we need.
244
00:08:43,218 --> 00:08:46,354
Thank you for your time.
245
00:08:46,355 --> 00:08:48,700
I'm heading back in
the office now, Blake.
246
00:08:48,701 --> 00:08:49,990
Well, I'm still
247
00:08:49,991 --> 00:08:50,788
at the Port of Baltimore.
248
00:08:50,789 --> 00:08:52,173
I just wanted to let you know that
249
00:08:52,174 --> 00:08:53,774
I am unable to bring the gift home today
250
00:08:53,775 --> 00:08:55,416
because they won't
release it from customs
251
00:08:55,417 --> 00:08:57,102
until it undergoes a
three-day quarantine.
252
00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:58,695
Quarantine? Why?
253
00:08:59,464 --> 00:09:02,100
Because it's a horse.
254
00:09:02,101 --> 00:09:03,168
I'm sorry,
255
00:09:03,169 --> 00:09:04,512
it sounded like you said "horse."
256
00:09:04,513 --> 00:09:05,403
Yes, ma'am.
257
00:09:05,404 --> 00:09:08,540
Minister Sendoo has
sent you a Mongol horse,
258
00:09:08,541 --> 00:09:10,341
it's a...
259
00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:12,544
symbol of national pride and unity.
260
00:09:12,545 --> 00:09:14,445
I have to say, she is gorgeous.
261
00:09:14,446 --> 00:09:15,914
Oh, my God.
262
00:09:15,915 --> 00:09:17,148
Send it back.
263
00:09:17,149 --> 00:09:19,751
- Her, and I already signed for her.
- Well, un-sign.
264
00:09:19,752 --> 00:09:21,553
Make it clear that
265
00:09:21,554 --> 00:09:23,288
we are respectfully declining
266
00:09:23,289 --> 00:09:24,789
the gift horse.
267
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:26,858
May I ask why?
268
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:30,595
So many reasons, not
the least of which...
269
00:09:30,596 --> 00:09:33,731
we don't have anywhere in the
state department to put her.
270
00:09:33,732 --> 00:09:35,275
I'm sure there's some government-owned
271
00:09:35,276 --> 00:09:36,701
horse property somewhere.
272
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:37,902
It's not about that.
273
00:09:37,903 --> 00:09:40,838
This is about the
Mongolian referendum vote
274
00:09:40,839 --> 00:09:43,841
to become an autonomous region of China.
275
00:09:43,842 --> 00:09:45,009
Minister Sendoo
276
00:09:45,010 --> 00:09:46,678
favors remaining independent,
277
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,713
and by accepting the horse,
278
00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:51,783
it will signal...
279
00:09:51,784 --> 00:09:54,185
a tacit endorsement of that position.
280
00:09:54,186 --> 00:09:55,753
Because the horse,
281
00:09:55,754 --> 00:09:57,889
symbol of national pride and unity.
282
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:58,890
See?
283
00:09:58,891 --> 00:10:00,191
Right, right.
284
00:10:00,192 --> 00:10:01,292
That'll make China mad.
285
00:10:01,293 --> 00:10:03,728
And many other Asian nations,
286
00:10:03,729 --> 00:10:05,152
and quite a few Mongolians as well.
287
00:10:05,153 --> 00:10:06,030
Got it.
288
00:10:06,031 --> 00:10:08,333
I will explain the situation
289
00:10:08,334 --> 00:10:10,034
to the Port Authoritarians.
290
00:10:10,035 --> 00:10:11,569
This may take a while.
291
00:10:12,671 --> 00:10:14,038
She's really pretty, huh?
292
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:15,206
Yes, ma'am.
293
00:10:15,207 --> 00:10:17,375
She's... she's kind
of a cappuccino color,
294
00:10:17,376 --> 00:10:19,177
with a chestnut stripe down her back...
295
00:10:19,178 --> 00:10:20,445
Hanging up now.
296
00:10:20,446 --> 00:10:23,681
Yes, ma'am.
297
00:10:23,682 --> 00:10:24,749
Hi.
298
00:10:26,952 --> 00:10:29,087
"Press the operational
code into the keypad
299
00:10:29,088 --> 00:10:30,855
and hold it down until
you hear the beep."
300
00:10:30,856 --> 00:10:32,490
Yeah, I did that.
301
00:10:32,491 --> 00:10:33,491
How's it going?
302
00:10:33,492 --> 00:10:34,643
Uh, fine, sir.
303
00:10:34,644 --> 00:10:37,028
You can call maintenance if
you're having trouble with that.
304
00:10:37,029 --> 00:10:37,862
Oh,
305
00:10:37,863 --> 00:10:39,497
I was just about to figure it out.
306
00:10:39,498 --> 00:10:41,881
Adele, will you call maintenance
to program this damn thing?
307
00:10:41,882 --> 00:10:43,915
Yes, sir.
308
00:10:44,669 --> 00:10:48,172
I, uh, I don't like interns.
309
00:10:48,173 --> 00:10:51,542
I never have, I can never find
anything I trust them to do.
310
00:10:51,543 --> 00:10:52,777
- Oh, well...
- Now, I-I...
311
00:10:52,778 --> 00:10:54,178
I'm giving you a chance
312
00:10:54,179 --> 00:10:56,082
- to change my mind.
- I'm honored, Mr. Jackson.
313
00:10:56,083 --> 00:10:57,515
But, there is no bank for good will
314
00:10:57,516 --> 00:10:59,617
around here; you saved
my life, I gave you a job.
315
00:10:59,618 --> 00:11:00,752
- We're even.
- Yes, sir.
316
00:11:00,753 --> 00:11:04,055
Poet Laureate Roland... somebody
317
00:11:04,056 --> 00:11:06,157
is coming in from
Connecticut this afternoon,
318
00:11:06,158 --> 00:11:09,227
he'll be reading a poem at
the inauguration tomorrow.
319
00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:12,697
You can thank JFK for
this enduring legacy
320
00:11:12,698 --> 00:11:15,366
which forces us to stand in
the cold an extra 20 minutes.
321
00:11:15,367 --> 00:11:19,304
Roland Hobbs? I love his work.
322
00:11:19,305 --> 00:11:21,839
I-I actually wrote a paper on
him for my AP English class.
323
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,041
Great. Tell him all about it.
324
00:11:23,042 --> 00:11:25,610
He fancies himself a man of the people,
325
00:11:25,611 --> 00:11:28,112
so he refused to let us
pick him up in a limo.
326
00:11:28,113 --> 00:11:29,981
He was gonna take a
cab from the airport,
327
00:11:29,982 --> 00:11:31,749
but I can't take a chance on losing him,
328
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:33,584
so he finally agreed to
let us send an intern.
329
00:11:33,585 --> 00:11:35,653
Adele has all the information.
330
00:11:35,654 --> 00:11:39,023
Awesome. That's just so exciting.
331
00:11:39,024 --> 00:11:41,225
Um, thank you. I won't let you down.
332
00:11:41,226 --> 00:11:42,427
Tick tock.
333
00:11:42,428 --> 00:11:44,261
Oh.
334
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:48,099
Minister Sendoo, I
am touched and honored
335
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:51,636
by your generous gift of a Mongol horse.
336
00:11:51,637 --> 00:11:53,304
Unfortunately,
337
00:11:53,305 --> 00:11:56,474
I'm not allowed to
keep diplomatic gifts,
338
00:11:56,475 --> 00:12:00,712
and, well, we just have
no place to put a horse
339
00:12:00,713 --> 00:12:02,980
here in the state department.
340
00:12:02,981 --> 00:12:05,983
I'm very sorry to hear
that, Madam Secretary.
341
00:12:05,984 --> 00:12:09,520
Because we cannot risk
exposing our horse population
342
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:11,456
to any foreign strains of disease.
343
00:12:11,457 --> 00:12:12,924
If a horse is returned to us
344
00:12:12,925 --> 00:12:16,094
after having been abroad,
345
00:12:16,095 --> 00:12:17,829
it must be euthanized.
346
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:19,731
You're going to kill her?
347
00:12:19,732 --> 00:12:22,833
Perhaps you would like to reconsider.
348
00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:31,111
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
349
00:12:35,127 --> 00:12:37,797
Did you really accept a horse
from the Mongolian minister
350
00:12:37,798 --> 00:12:39,760
- of education?
- No.
351
00:12:39,761 --> 00:12:41,264
Then why is the president of Mongolia
352
00:12:41,265 --> 00:12:42,964
calling me to complain about it?
353
00:12:42,965 --> 00:12:45,533
I don't have enough going
on, trying to stop Sam Evans
354
00:12:45,534 --> 00:12:47,702
from making rubble out
of the Constitution?
355
00:12:47,703 --> 00:12:50,738
He's all the big dumb mammal
I can handle right now.
356
00:12:50,739 --> 00:12:52,073
Send the horse back.
357
00:12:52,074 --> 00:12:53,140
I'm working on it.
358
00:12:53,141 --> 00:12:54,208
What's-what's to work on?
359
00:12:54,209 --> 00:12:55,910
You can't find the return address?
360
00:12:55,911 --> 00:12:58,346
The problem is, Russell,
361
00:12:58,347 --> 00:13:01,015
Minister Sendoo says that they
can't reintegrate the horse
362
00:13:01,016 --> 00:13:02,316
now that it's left the country,
363
00:13:02,317 --> 00:13:04,585
so if we return her,
364
00:13:04,586 --> 00:13:05,820
they will...
365
00:13:05,821 --> 00:13:07,054
terminate her.
366
00:13:07,055 --> 00:13:09,557
What?
367
00:13:09,558 --> 00:13:10,891
They're bluffing.
368
00:13:10,892 --> 00:13:12,827
It's a classic Mongolian squeeze play.
369
00:13:12,828 --> 00:13:14,595
Russell,
370
00:13:14,596 --> 00:13:17,832
do you really want a YouTube video
371
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:19,734
of a dying horse flying
around the first month
372
00:13:19,735 --> 00:13:21,736
of Dalton's second term?
373
00:13:21,737 --> 00:13:24,672
Our staff is working diligently
to find the horse a safe haven,
374
00:13:24,673 --> 00:13:26,574
one that is both suitable
375
00:13:26,575 --> 00:13:29,210
and will not offend anyone politically.
376
00:13:29,211 --> 00:13:30,444
Well, hurry up.
377
00:13:30,445 --> 00:13:31,479
We're on it.
378
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,317
And, Russell, you may
want to pace yourself.
379
00:13:36,318 --> 00:13:37,985
I am pacing myself.
380
00:13:37,986 --> 00:13:41,122
4,782 paces, to be exact.
381
00:13:41,123 --> 00:13:44,125
Why do you think I walked
all the way over here?
382
00:13:44,126 --> 00:13:45,493
And stop coddling me.
383
00:13:45,494 --> 00:13:47,094
They vacuumed my heart end to end.
384
00:13:47,095 --> 00:13:49,930
My arteries are cleaner than yours.
385
00:13:49,931 --> 00:13:51,899
Make the horse thing go away.
386
00:13:54,202 --> 00:13:55,903
Mr. Hobbs?
387
00:13:55,904 --> 00:13:57,972
Hi, Mr. Hobbs, I'm Stephanie McCord.
388
00:13:57,973 --> 00:13:59,907
Um, I'm Russell Jackson's intern.
389
00:13:59,908 --> 00:14:03,686
He sent me to pick you up
a-and take you to your hotel.
390
00:14:03,687 --> 00:14:04,720
What are you doing?
391
00:14:04,721 --> 00:14:05,988
Excuse me?
392
00:14:05,989 --> 00:14:08,324
You should be ferry-hopping
through the Greek isles
393
00:14:08,325 --> 00:14:09,826
with nothing but a summer frock,
394
00:14:09,827 --> 00:14:13,261
a wineskin and a
battered copy of Rimbaud.
395
00:14:13,996 --> 00:14:17,133
Well, um, I'm doing this.
396
00:14:17,134 --> 00:14:20,036
By the way, Mr. Jackson's
office sent me a copy of the poem
397
00:14:20,037 --> 00:14:22,371
that you're planning on
reading tomorrow and...
398
00:14:22,372 --> 00:14:24,140
I think it's amazing.
399
00:14:24,141 --> 00:14:25,740
That insipid rant?
400
00:14:26,676 --> 00:14:28,377
They were pressuring me
to come up with something
401
00:14:28,378 --> 00:14:29,579
so they could approve it.
402
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:31,280
I would no more read that aloud
403
00:14:31,281 --> 00:14:32,949
than I would evacuate my bowels
404
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:34,383
in public.
405
00:14:34,384 --> 00:14:36,219
Wow. Okay. Um,
406
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:39,122
so, I guess you probably want
to get straight to the hotel
407
00:14:39,123 --> 00:14:40,456
to work on your replacement poem.
408
00:14:40,457 --> 00:14:42,291
Um, they have you booked at the Vinton.
409
00:14:42,292 --> 00:14:43,326
It's really nice.
410
00:14:43,327 --> 00:14:45,495
It sounds like a soulless corporate pod.
411
00:14:45,496 --> 00:14:47,039
I'm not gonna get any work done there.
412
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,066
Well, is-is there somewhere
else that you'd rather go?
413
00:14:51,502 --> 00:14:54,036
Maybe just a drive around the city.
414
00:14:54,037 --> 00:14:56,772
Perhaps if I see a few
monuments to democracy,
415
00:14:56,773 --> 00:14:59,041
I could get the creative engine moving.
416
00:14:59,042 --> 00:15:02,278
Sure, uh, the traffic does
tend to get a little crazy
417
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,847
at this time of...
418
00:15:04,848 --> 00:15:06,315
Let's do that.
419
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:11,921
What the...?
420
00:15:11,922 --> 00:15:13,888
Murderer!
421
00:15:23,332 --> 00:15:24,734
Dr. McCord is here.
422
00:15:24,735 --> 00:15:26,198
If you're looking for your daughter,
423
00:15:26,199 --> 00:15:27,637
she's off on assignment.
424
00:15:27,638 --> 00:15:29,172
I'm looking for you.
425
00:15:29,173 --> 00:15:30,573
Go.
426
00:15:30,574 --> 00:15:32,608
Are you gonna keep doing that?
427
00:15:32,609 --> 00:15:33,809
You think I'm enjoying this?
428
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:37,280
Okay, look, I just got
back from some cryptic
429
00:15:37,281 --> 00:15:39,682
re-debrief at the CIA.
430
00:15:39,683 --> 00:15:41,384
Why are they running random names by me,
431
00:15:41,385 --> 00:15:42,652
trying to draw connections
432
00:15:42,653 --> 00:15:43,819
between HS and ISIS?
433
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:44,887
CIA, they're cryptic.
434
00:15:44,888 --> 00:15:46,155
Has HS joined ISIS?
435
00:15:46,156 --> 00:15:48,958
Are they being reconstituted?
436
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:50,159
It's classified.
437
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,095
Give me a break. I
originated the operation.
438
00:15:53,096 --> 00:15:55,598
Excuse me, I originated the operation.
439
00:15:55,599 --> 00:15:56,782
Just tell me what's going on.
440
00:15:59,536 --> 00:16:03,172
It's about the Illinois bomber.
441
00:16:03,173 --> 00:16:06,342
He was radicalized at an
ISIS-affiliated madrassa
442
00:16:06,343 --> 00:16:08,811
in Saudi Arabia, but
we have reports that say
443
00:16:08,812 --> 00:16:11,747
he was also communicating
with HS-affiliated terrorists.
444
00:16:11,748 --> 00:16:13,182
The NSA has been
445
00:16:13,183 --> 00:16:14,784
trying to hack into the bomber's phone
446
00:16:14,785 --> 00:16:17,887
to gather data, but
their efforts have been...
447
00:16:17,888 --> 00:16:19,021
unproductive.
448
00:16:19,022 --> 00:16:20,957
The NSA can't hack into a cell phone?
449
00:16:20,958 --> 00:16:23,326
Well, they're limited
by money and man-hours
450
00:16:23,327 --> 00:16:25,261
like any other human institution.
451
00:16:25,262 --> 00:16:27,630
So they're combing all
their assets for tips,
452
00:16:27,631 --> 00:16:29,699
to avoid paying an exorbitant fee
453
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:31,300
to an outside cyber security consultant.
454
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:32,134
Exactly.
455
00:16:32,135 --> 00:16:34,870
Because the CEO of this
particular phone company,
456
00:16:34,871 --> 00:16:38,507
Warren Lee, is a big
donor to our campaign.
457
00:16:38,508 --> 00:16:41,344
But he's also a big privacy advocate.
458
00:16:41,345 --> 00:16:43,412
And a diligent practitioner of Taoism.
459
00:16:43,413 --> 00:16:45,881
- Really?
- Well,
460
00:16:45,882 --> 00:16:47,717
as diligent as a Taoist can be,
461
00:16:47,718 --> 00:16:49,318
given that it's about effortless action.
462
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:50,653
It's a theological paradox.
463
00:16:50,654 --> 00:16:52,788
Yeah, hell, what isn't?
464
00:16:52,789 --> 00:16:55,009
So you were just gonna box
me out of this whole thing?
465
00:16:55,958 --> 00:16:58,361
If you want in,
466
00:16:58,362 --> 00:17:01,097
tell me what you're thinking.
467
00:17:01,098 --> 00:17:03,966
Warren Lee's in town
for the inauguration.
468
00:17:03,967 --> 00:17:05,768
POTUS can only push him so far
469
00:17:05,769 --> 00:17:07,603
on the investigation
without looking like
470
00:17:07,604 --> 00:17:09,972
an anti-Fourth Amendment bully.
471
00:17:09,973 --> 00:17:11,941
But a third party with
an oblique connection
472
00:17:11,942 --> 00:17:13,709
to the administration,
473
00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:15,845
who speaks the language
of theological paradox?
474
00:17:15,846 --> 00:17:18,314
Knock yourself out.
475
00:17:18,315 --> 00:17:21,883
Corner him at the inaugural ball.
476
00:17:22,685 --> 00:17:24,420
I've got a better idea.
477
00:17:24,421 --> 00:17:25,488
I'd love a better idea.
478
00:17:25,489 --> 00:17:27,790
Tell me when it pans out.
479
00:17:27,791 --> 00:17:29,925
What am I doing wrong?
480
00:17:29,926 --> 00:17:31,527
I got you.
481
00:17:32,792 --> 00:17:33,763
There you go.
482
00:17:34,831 --> 00:17:36,065
I thought I did that.
483
00:17:36,066 --> 00:17:37,300
Ma'am,
484
00:17:37,301 --> 00:17:39,564
Foreign Minister Chen has
requested a SVTC call with you.
485
00:17:39,565 --> 00:17:41,837
I took the liberty of setting it up.
486
00:17:41,838 --> 00:17:43,806
His office is on hold right now.
487
00:17:43,807 --> 00:17:45,775
Well, that didn't take long.
488
00:17:45,776 --> 00:17:47,409
So, Blake's still out?
489
00:17:48,811 --> 00:17:50,212
He's been further detained.
490
00:17:50,213 --> 00:17:52,048
Yeah, uh, he ran into some protesters
491
00:17:52,049 --> 00:17:54,183
from the Equine Resource
League in a parking lot
492
00:17:54,184 --> 00:17:55,885
at the Port of Baltimore.
493
00:17:55,886 --> 00:17:57,720
They pelted him and his car with manure.
494
00:17:57,721 --> 00:17:59,655
Is he okay?
495
00:17:59,656 --> 00:18:01,857
He's, uh, rattled.
496
00:18:01,858 --> 00:18:04,527
What are they protesting anyway?
497
00:18:04,528 --> 00:18:06,929
Somebody sent me a horse?
498
00:18:06,930 --> 00:18:10,333
No, ma'am, that you're
sending her back to Mongolia
499
00:18:10,334 --> 00:18:12,034
where she'll be euthanized.
500
00:18:12,035 --> 00:18:14,637
How on earth did they find out?
501
00:18:14,638 --> 00:18:16,101
We're getting to the bottom of that.
502
00:18:16,102 --> 00:18:18,274
But they have all the
information on the Web site.
503
00:18:18,275 --> 00:18:20,943
They claim you're sending
a purebred to its death
504
00:18:20,944 --> 00:18:22,278
over a diplomatic dispute.
505
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:24,347
They're encouraging a widespread protest
506
00:18:24,348 --> 00:18:28,450
until the U.S. accepts the horse
and gives her a loving home.
507
00:18:28,951 --> 00:18:31,587
So...
508
00:18:31,588 --> 00:18:34,123
how does Blake sound?
509
00:18:34,124 --> 00:18:38,260
Um, remember when pigeons
got into his apartment
510
00:18:38,261 --> 00:18:39,628
when he was out of town?
511
00:18:39,629 --> 00:18:41,964
Wow, that bad, huh?
512
00:18:41,965 --> 00:18:43,165
Worse.
513
00:18:43,166 --> 00:18:45,835
Shall I put someone on his
desk until he comes back?
514
00:18:45,836 --> 00:18:48,037
Not unless you want to finish him off.
515
00:18:48,038 --> 00:18:49,739
- Hey, guys.
- Hi, Noodle.
516
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:52,141
The dresses just
arrived from the stylist.
517
00:18:52,142 --> 00:18:54,843
Wow, I...
518
00:18:55,644 --> 00:18:57,246
What do we like?
519
00:18:57,247 --> 00:18:59,715
Honestly? None of them.
520
00:18:59,716 --> 00:19:01,316
Oh.
521
00:19:02,618 --> 00:19:03,853
Not even this?
522
00:19:03,854 --> 00:19:04,987
You can't wear black.
523
00:19:04,988 --> 00:19:06,922
It's a celebration, not a funeral.
524
00:19:06,923 --> 00:19:10,226
Well... tell you what,
525
00:19:10,227 --> 00:19:12,061
why don't we just forget about these?
526
00:19:12,062 --> 00:19:13,629
Why don't you just be the stylist?
527
00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:16,832
And you find something you like
and we'll track it down, okay?
528
00:19:16,833 --> 00:19:18,267
Really?
529
00:19:18,268 --> 00:19:20,102
This is amazing!
530
00:19:20,103 --> 00:19:22,705
My first assignment
is the inaugural ball?
531
00:19:22,706 --> 00:19:25,040
Yeah, and your first client
carried you in her womb,
532
00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:26,624
so she's probably gonna go easy on you.
533
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:27,309
Ma'am,
534
00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:29,111
I'll get back to you
as soon as we find out
535
00:19:29,112 --> 00:19:30,575
who leaked the information on Mandy.
536
00:19:30,576 --> 00:19:32,381
Excuse me? Mandy?
537
00:19:32,382 --> 00:19:34,016
Oh, Blake named her.
538
00:19:34,017 --> 00:19:36,185
- Apparently, they formed a bond.
- No.
539
00:19:36,186 --> 00:19:38,287
No naming the horse, it's
just gonna make it worse
540
00:19:38,288 --> 00:19:40,709
when we have to send her
back. That goes for everyone.
541
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:41,757
- Okay.
- Yes, ma'am,
542
00:19:41,758 --> 00:19:45,161
I will issue a directive:
no bonding with the horse.
543
00:19:45,162 --> 00:19:46,742
Minister Chen, still holding for you.
544
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:54,236
Minister Chen, oh, I'm so
sorry to keep you holding.
545
00:19:54,237 --> 00:19:56,405
My assistant is out of the office
546
00:19:56,406 --> 00:19:59,241
and, well, it's been a day
of excitement for all of us.
547
00:19:59,242 --> 00:20:01,977
I'm sure it's not every day
you receive a Mongolian horse
548
00:20:01,978 --> 00:20:04,680
as an inducement to intervene
in the democratic process
549
00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:06,347
of a foreign nation.
550
00:20:07,216 --> 00:20:11,420
The, uh, horse was a
gift of congratulations
551
00:20:11,421 --> 00:20:15,391
from Minister Sendoo, not a bribe,
552
00:20:15,392 --> 00:20:18,394
and in any case, I've
already declined it.
553
00:20:18,395 --> 00:20:19,862
My concern is that
554
00:20:19,863 --> 00:20:22,565
even the perception of a
U.S. stance on independence
555
00:20:22,566 --> 00:20:24,033
could sway the outcome of the vote.
556
00:20:24,034 --> 00:20:26,969
Well, the U.S. position
on the referendum
557
00:20:26,970 --> 00:20:29,004
is one of neutrality.
558
00:20:29,005 --> 00:20:32,174
As I trust China's will be, as well.
559
00:20:32,175 --> 00:20:34,443
I am not the one accepting
gifts from the Mongolians.
560
00:20:34,444 --> 00:20:37,880
Well, that makes two of us.
561
00:20:37,881 --> 00:20:39,248
Always a pleasure
562
00:20:39,249 --> 00:20:40,216
talking to you.
563
00:20:40,217 --> 00:20:42,450
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
564
00:20:43,219 --> 00:20:45,621
Blake, will you get me...
565
00:20:45,622 --> 00:20:49,091
I really... really don't like this.
566
00:20:49,092 --> 00:20:51,126
I don't know why I thought
567
00:20:51,127 --> 00:20:52,461
this would be inspiring.
568
00:20:52,462 --> 00:20:55,831
Religious altars to the
gods of money and power,
569
00:20:55,832 --> 00:20:58,868
statues to slave owners and warmongers,
570
00:20:58,869 --> 00:21:00,169
an obelisk
571
00:21:00,170 --> 00:21:02,938
extending into the sky
572
00:21:02,939 --> 00:21:06,509
like a great wagging phallus.
573
00:21:06,510 --> 00:21:09,311
Uh, well, do you want to see Georgetown?
574
00:21:09,312 --> 00:21:11,313
It has a bit of a homier feel to it.
575
00:21:11,314 --> 00:21:13,649
Oh, yes, by all means.
576
00:21:13,650 --> 00:21:14,950
Let us see where the exploiters
577
00:21:14,951 --> 00:21:17,620
of all that is sacred
rest their weary bones.
578
00:21:17,621 --> 00:21:19,655
Wait. Stop.
579
00:21:19,656 --> 00:21:21,056
What? Excuse me?
580
00:21:21,057 --> 00:21:22,324
- Stop!
- Oh, okay.
581
00:21:22,325 --> 00:21:24,560
Uh, are you okay?
582
00:21:24,561 --> 00:21:25,961
Inspiration.
583
00:21:25,962 --> 00:21:28,796
Mr. Hobbs, I-I don't think
I can park here. Mr....
584
00:21:34,337 --> 00:21:37,506
Governor, we understand
the symbolic gesture
585
00:21:37,507 --> 00:21:39,174
of filing suit against the state
586
00:21:39,175 --> 00:21:41,377
for overriding its sore-loser law
587
00:21:41,378 --> 00:21:42,878
and allowing us on the ballot.
588
00:21:42,879 --> 00:21:46,181
I can't imagine you
expected the Sixth Circuit
589
00:21:46,182 --> 00:21:48,384
to hear the case, and...
590
00:21:48,385 --> 00:21:51,954
now we find ourselves
in an awkward situation.
591
00:21:51,955 --> 00:21:53,938
On the contrary, I fully
expected them to hear it.
592
00:21:53,939 --> 00:21:55,991
There's nothing awkward about it for me.
593
00:21:55,992 --> 00:21:59,328
There was no impropriety on
the part of the secretary,
594
00:21:59,329 --> 00:22:00,563
and you know it.
595
00:22:00,564 --> 00:22:02,364
Even under whatever bogus,
596
00:22:02,365 --> 00:22:04,466
antiquated law you dug up.
597
00:22:04,467 --> 00:22:06,168
It's not about what I know, Russell,
598
00:22:06,169 --> 00:22:07,272
it's how the judge sees it.
599
00:22:07,273 --> 00:22:09,838
No president has ever been unseated
600
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:11,407
by the judiciary,
601
00:22:11,408 --> 00:22:13,008
or even thrown out of office
602
00:22:13,009 --> 00:22:15,377
after impeachment, for that matter.
603
00:22:15,378 --> 00:22:17,780
The idea that the
court would do something
604
00:22:17,781 --> 00:22:20,349
as destabilizing as removing a president
605
00:22:20,350 --> 00:22:21,817
after his inauguration,
606
00:22:21,818 --> 00:22:23,986
replacing him with his
opponent, is laughable.
607
00:22:23,987 --> 00:22:25,054
If it's so laughable,
608
00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:26,358
why are you negotiating with me?
609
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,626
This was a trying election for everyone.
610
00:22:30,627 --> 00:22:32,061
And instead of tying up the country
611
00:22:32,062 --> 00:22:33,485
in a court battle you'll never win,
612
00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:38,968
wouldn't your intellect
and passion and experience
613
00:22:38,969 --> 00:22:40,569
be put to better use by
614
00:22:40,570 --> 00:22:43,806
- serving in this administration?
- What do you have in mind?
615
00:22:43,807 --> 00:22:45,341
Your campaign platform made it clear
616
00:22:45,342 --> 00:22:48,110
that your priority is
fostering the growth
617
00:22:48,111 --> 00:22:51,113
of business and industry.
618
00:22:51,114 --> 00:22:53,449
We'd like you to come on board
619
00:22:53,450 --> 00:22:55,317
as our Secretary of Commerce.
620
00:22:55,318 --> 00:22:56,784
Are you joking?
621
00:23:01,224 --> 00:23:02,767
You two need to take this on the road.
622
00:23:02,768 --> 00:23:03,726
It's hilarious.
623
00:23:03,727 --> 00:23:07,029
There's only one post significant enough
624
00:23:07,030 --> 00:23:08,163
to make me want to walk away
625
00:23:08,164 --> 00:23:10,899
from rolling the dice
in the Sixth Circuit.
626
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:12,167
State.
627
00:23:12,168 --> 00:23:14,702
- Excuse me?
- Secretary of state.
628
00:23:16,639 --> 00:23:18,607
Or the beat goes on.
629
00:23:18,608 --> 00:23:20,975
What do you say to that?
630
00:23:24,213 --> 00:23:26,914
Not gonna happen, Sam.
631
00:23:29,518 --> 00:23:31,986
Have a nice day, gentlemen.
632
00:23:42,716 --> 00:23:44,217
You're wasting your time.
633
00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:46,163
ERL is under no obligation
634
00:23:46,164 --> 00:23:47,798
to reveal the source of our information.
635
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:50,401
Does it concern you at all that
any leak in the state department
636
00:23:50,402 --> 00:23:52,089
could be a matter of national security?
637
00:23:52,090 --> 00:23:53,068
That's your problem.
638
00:23:53,069 --> 00:23:55,203
I have the Freedom of
Information Act on my side.
639
00:23:55,204 --> 00:23:57,938
Did you get the information
directly from Minister Sendoo?
640
00:23:57,939 --> 00:24:00,514
Otherwise, there's no other explanation
641
00:24:00,515 --> 00:24:02,809
why it was on your Web site so fast.
642
00:24:02,810 --> 00:24:05,712
The foreign minister and I
had no direct communication.
643
00:24:05,713 --> 00:24:07,614
It's the minister of education.
644
00:24:07,615 --> 00:24:09,883
Do you even read your own
illegally obtained information?
645
00:24:09,884 --> 00:24:11,852
I'm starting to feel harassed here.
646
00:24:11,853 --> 00:24:13,453
If the Mongolese people want to use us
647
00:24:13,454 --> 00:24:15,055
to promote animal rights,
648
00:24:15,056 --> 00:24:16,556
we welcome their input.
649
00:24:16,557 --> 00:24:18,258
You mean the Mongolian people?
650
00:24:18,259 --> 00:24:20,327
- Eh...
- Wait a minute.
651
00:24:20,328 --> 00:24:22,796
You barely know what I'm talking about.
652
00:24:22,797 --> 00:24:25,278
You didn't put that piece up on
the Web site yourself, did you?
653
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:26,379
Where did it come from?
654
00:24:26,380 --> 00:24:29,668
You were hacked.
655
00:24:32,105 --> 00:24:33,473
Hey. How's your day going?
656
00:24:33,474 --> 00:24:35,676
A little crazy.
657
00:24:35,677 --> 00:24:37,944
I really need your help.
658
00:24:37,945 --> 00:24:40,280
I'm in a dive bar
with the poet laureate,
659
00:24:40,281 --> 00:24:42,851
who is supposed to be composing
a poem for the inauguration.
660
00:24:42,852 --> 00:24:43,556
Okay.
661
00:24:43,557 --> 00:24:45,758
Unless it's going to be about Scotch,
662
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:47,358
I don't think that's gonna happen.
663
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,559
Oh, I can't tell you the number of times
664
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,023
I've been in that exact predicament.
665
00:24:50,024 --> 00:24:50,961
Are you serious?
666
00:24:50,962 --> 00:24:53,163
This is my first real
assignment for Russell Jackson,
667
00:24:53,164 --> 00:24:55,799
to get this guy safely to the hotel,
668
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,900
and I can't do it.
669
00:24:56,901 --> 00:24:58,501
Well, there must be
a government employee
670
00:24:58,502 --> 00:24:59,332
who can handle it.
671
00:24:59,333 --> 00:25:01,205
I am a government employee.
672
00:25:01,206 --> 00:25:02,239
Oh, yeah.
673
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,208
Please? I can't stress Russell out.
674
00:25:04,209 --> 00:25:05,442
He just had a heart attack.
675
00:25:05,443 --> 00:25:07,266
- What do you want me to do?
- Come down here.
676
00:25:07,267 --> 00:25:09,346
You can at least...
677
00:25:09,347 --> 00:25:10,864
help me carry him to the car
678
00:25:10,865 --> 00:25:12,299
in case he starts to pass out.
679
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:13,734
Okay. Text me the address.
680
00:25:13,735 --> 00:25:15,135
Oh, and please
681
00:25:15,136 --> 00:25:17,271
don't give that whole
"poetry is a useless waste
682
00:25:17,272 --> 00:25:19,573
of time and brain cells" rant
in front of this guy, okay?
683
00:25:19,574 --> 00:25:21,174
Consider me censored.
684
00:25:21,175 --> 00:25:23,377
I'll see you in a bit.
685
00:25:30,951 --> 00:25:32,351
Excuse me, Mr. Lee?
686
00:25:34,087 --> 00:25:36,223
Aren't you Dr. Henry McCord?
687
00:25:36,224 --> 00:25:38,225
Yes. I-I'm so flattered
that you recognized me.
688
00:25:38,226 --> 00:25:40,327
Well, I've read all of your books.
689
00:25:40,328 --> 00:25:43,130
I consider myself a student
of the world's religions.
690
00:25:43,131 --> 00:25:44,331
So am I.
691
00:25:44,332 --> 00:25:46,967
I think some of the
sentiments of the Tao Te Ching
692
00:25:46,968 --> 00:25:48,735
are reflected in the
parables of the gospels,
693
00:25:48,736 --> 00:25:51,804
although I sometimes find
the language more poetic.
694
00:25:53,407 --> 00:25:57,244
So... do you practice here?
695
00:25:57,245 --> 00:26:00,781
No. I came to meet you.
696
00:26:00,782 --> 00:26:02,516
On behalf of your wife?
697
00:26:02,517 --> 00:26:04,383
On behalf of the NSA.
698
00:26:06,086 --> 00:26:07,654
Really?
699
00:26:07,655 --> 00:26:09,556
I sometimes do some consulting work.
700
00:26:09,557 --> 00:26:11,226
I have nothing left
to say to those guys.
701
00:26:11,227 --> 00:26:12,959
Look, I know they can
come on pretty strong,
702
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,828
but they're probably just embarrassed
703
00:26:14,829 --> 00:26:16,730
and intimidated by you.
704
00:26:16,731 --> 00:26:18,932
So, because of their fragile psyches,
705
00:26:18,933 --> 00:26:21,368
I'm supposed to help them
burn up the Bill of Rights?
706
00:26:21,369 --> 00:26:23,503
It's one thing to defend
the Fourth Amendment,
707
00:26:23,504 --> 00:26:25,104
it's another thing to develop technology
708
00:26:25,128 --> 00:26:27,674
so impenetrable that it locks out
709
00:26:27,675 --> 00:26:29,276
the state's ability to investigate
710
00:26:29,277 --> 00:26:30,544
with probable cause.
711
00:26:30,545 --> 00:26:33,480
Giving the NSA access to
a private customer phone
712
00:26:33,481 --> 00:26:35,415
would set a terrible legal precedent.
713
00:26:35,416 --> 00:26:38,819
Maybe you need to
practice some of the tenets
714
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:40,587
Taoism has taught you,
715
00:26:40,588 --> 00:26:43,522
and let go of your longing.
716
00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:48,328
The world's religions aren't
the only thing I've learned from.
717
00:26:48,329 --> 00:26:50,192
In the intelligence
community, there's a method
718
00:26:50,193 --> 00:26:52,966
for developing assets
called "MIC"... M.I.C.
719
00:26:52,967 --> 00:26:56,036
First you try to persuade
with money... that's the "M."
720
00:26:56,037 --> 00:26:58,672
You have plenty of that.
"I" is for ideology.
721
00:26:58,673 --> 00:27:01,608
I tried to appeal to that, and I failed.
722
00:27:01,609 --> 00:27:04,244
And the "C" is for coercion,
723
00:27:04,245 --> 00:27:07,447
but as an ally of Dalton's...
724
00:27:07,448 --> 00:27:08,682
not a lot to coerce you with.
725
00:27:08,683 --> 00:27:11,685
So it seems...
726
00:27:11,686 --> 00:27:14,788
that you have run out of letters.
727
00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:16,990
Yes.
728
00:27:16,991 --> 00:27:19,009
All I can do now is humble
myself and appeal to you
729
00:27:19,010 --> 00:27:20,460
as someone who cares deeply about
730
00:27:20,461 --> 00:27:21,762
the welfare of this country.
731
00:27:21,763 --> 00:27:26,133
So few of us find
ourselves in your position.
732
00:27:26,134 --> 00:27:28,435
You have the U.S. government
groveling at your feet
733
00:27:28,436 --> 00:27:33,072
for a small piece of
proprietary information.
734
00:27:34,341 --> 00:27:36,909
You're the only person who can help us.
735
00:27:39,646 --> 00:27:41,948
Okay, here's what we're up against
736
00:27:41,949 --> 00:27:44,217
with finding a safe haven for the horse.
737
00:27:44,218 --> 00:27:46,520
It has to be a country
whose customs laws
738
00:27:46,521 --> 00:27:48,588
are lax enough to accept a horse
739
00:27:48,589 --> 00:27:50,557
who has been exposed to the diseases
740
00:27:50,558 --> 00:27:52,058
of two different countries.
741
00:27:52,059 --> 00:27:54,060
It would have to have
regular trade relations
742
00:27:54,061 --> 00:27:55,962
- with the U.S.
- Right.
743
00:27:55,963 --> 00:27:57,831
It would have to have a climate amenable
744
00:27:57,832 --> 00:27:59,800
to Mongol horses.
745
00:27:59,801 --> 00:28:02,068
And we'd need verifiable
first-class living conditions.
746
00:28:02,069 --> 00:28:04,337
No hiding her away on
some remote, decrepit farm
747
00:28:04,338 --> 00:28:05,672
in South America.
748
00:28:05,673 --> 00:28:08,442
She needs human interaction.
She was bred for that.
749
00:28:08,443 --> 00:28:11,344
Did she tell you that, horse whisperer?
750
00:28:11,345 --> 00:28:13,213
Blake, I believe you were warned
751
00:28:13,214 --> 00:28:14,981
about bonding with the horse.
752
00:28:14,982 --> 00:28:17,384
Oh, like I can walk that back.
753
00:28:17,385 --> 00:28:19,820
Guys...
754
00:28:19,821 --> 00:28:21,588
CYBERCOM has made a forensic analysis
755
00:28:21,589 --> 00:28:22,956
on the ERL Web site hack,
756
00:28:22,957 --> 00:28:25,392
and they have a very strong
idea of who was behind it.
757
00:28:25,393 --> 00:28:27,327
- Russia?
- That's right, ma'am.
758
00:28:27,328 --> 00:28:29,129
As you know, they are
none too happy about
759
00:28:29,130 --> 00:28:31,264
the idea of China expanding its borders
760
00:28:31,265 --> 00:28:33,800
further across the southeastern
portion of its country.
761
00:28:33,801 --> 00:28:36,236
Well, or of China
expanding its land holdings
762
00:28:36,237 --> 00:28:37,971
and natural resources.
763
00:28:37,972 --> 00:28:39,172
But really?
764
00:28:39,173 --> 00:28:41,141
Enough to get into this?
765
00:28:41,142 --> 00:28:44,044
We figure that's why they
came at it so sideways.
766
00:28:44,045 --> 00:28:45,908
They don't want to destroy
relations with China
767
00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:46,847
any more than we do.
768
00:28:46,848 --> 00:28:48,615
Our working theory is that
769
00:28:48,616 --> 00:28:50,617
Russia may have ties
to Minister Sendoo's
770
00:28:50,618 --> 00:28:51,751
independence campaign
771
00:28:51,752 --> 00:28:54,621
and was hoping to
develop a little insurance
772
00:28:54,622 --> 00:28:55,989
in the event that we tried
773
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:57,557
to send the horse back to Mongolia.
774
00:28:57,558 --> 00:28:59,493
Apparently, the minute Minister Sendoo
775
00:28:59,494 --> 00:29:01,751
hung up with you, he called
his connection in Russia,
776
00:29:01,752 --> 00:29:03,663
and then it ended up
on the ERL Web site,
777
00:29:03,664 --> 00:29:07,801
resulting in the... manure offensive.
778
00:29:07,802 --> 00:29:09,569
So this way Russia influences
779
00:29:09,570 --> 00:29:11,238
the outcome of the referendum
780
00:29:11,239 --> 00:29:14,841
but keeps its hands
clean of interventionism.
781
00:29:14,842 --> 00:29:15,504
Yes, ma'am.
782
00:29:15,505 --> 00:29:17,553
Well, I-I'm just glad
this hasn't escalated
783
00:29:17,554 --> 00:29:20,713
into an international incident.
784
00:29:22,883 --> 00:29:24,951
- Oh, thank God.
- Hey.
785
00:29:24,952 --> 00:29:26,419
What's happening?
786
00:29:26,420 --> 00:29:29,222
Uh, Mr. Hobbs, this
is my fiancé, Jareth.
787
00:29:29,223 --> 00:29:32,092
He dropped by because, um,
788
00:29:32,093 --> 00:29:33,326
he wanted to meet you.
789
00:29:33,327 --> 00:29:34,928
Have a seat, young man.
790
00:29:34,929 --> 00:29:36,963
Let's talk about how you find poetry
791
00:29:36,964 --> 00:29:39,733
a waste of time and brain cells.
792
00:29:39,734 --> 00:29:42,369
I overheard her conversation
on the phone with you.
793
00:29:42,370 --> 00:29:45,772
I don't know why people think
alcohol affects auditory nerves.
794
00:29:45,773 --> 00:29:47,207
Please have a drink
795
00:29:47,208 --> 00:29:50,510
and, uh, explain the
futility of verse to me.
796
00:29:50,511 --> 00:29:51,912
I don't think it's futile.
797
00:29:51,913 --> 00:29:55,148
Sometimes it can be ever so slightly...
798
00:29:55,149 --> 00:29:57,751
indulgent.
799
00:29:57,752 --> 00:30:00,520
Unnecessarily convoluted and redundant.
800
00:30:00,521 --> 00:30:03,423
Also pretentious, arrogant,
801
00:30:03,424 --> 00:30:05,792
and not essential to
the evolution of mankind.
802
00:30:05,793 --> 00:30:08,061
Otherwise a perfectly harmless pursuit.
803
00:30:08,062 --> 00:30:09,229
Should we go?
804
00:30:09,230 --> 00:30:11,998
With what do you occupy
your superior gray matter?
805
00:30:11,999 --> 00:30:13,767
I'm a physicist.
806
00:30:13,768 --> 00:30:16,136
Ha! Bravo.
807
00:30:16,137 --> 00:30:19,062
The geniuses who brought
us nuclear weapons,
808
00:30:19,063 --> 00:30:20,006
Oh.
809
00:30:20,007 --> 00:30:21,374
space junk and global warming.
810
00:30:21,375 --> 00:30:23,677
- Well done.
- What a charming oversimplification.
811
00:30:23,678 --> 00:30:26,379
Tell me something, how do you live
812
00:30:26,380 --> 00:30:31,017
with such an unimaginative
reductionist view of the world?
813
00:30:31,018 --> 00:30:34,721
How is life, without
the resonance of beauty,
814
00:30:34,722 --> 00:30:35,855
even worth the effort?
815
00:30:35,856 --> 00:30:38,458
Let me tell you a little
something about beauty,
816
00:30:38,459 --> 00:30:39,199
Mr. Hobbs.
817
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,061
You seem to think I
can't appreciate beauty
818
00:30:41,062 --> 00:30:44,164
because I study the
intricacies of its components.
819
00:30:44,165 --> 00:30:46,533
You know what? Why don't we just go?
820
00:30:46,534 --> 00:30:47,467
Uh, bartender?
821
00:30:47,468 --> 00:30:49,069
It was Richard Feynman, physicist,
822
00:30:49,070 --> 00:30:51,204
personal hero of mine, who put it best.
823
00:30:51,205 --> 00:30:54,407
He said that he could appreciate
the beauty of a flower more
824
00:30:54,408 --> 00:30:56,343
than, say, uh, you.
825
00:30:56,344 --> 00:30:59,412
He said he could see more
than the average man sees.
826
00:30:59,413 --> 00:31:01,832
He could imagine its
cells, he could appreciate
827
00:31:01,833 --> 00:31:04,150
that the flower evolved
in order to make its colors
828
00:31:04,151 --> 00:31:05,518
more attractive to insects.
829
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:07,420
Which means that insects see color.
830
00:31:07,421 --> 00:31:09,889
I mean, maybe they share
our aesthetic sense.
831
00:31:09,890 --> 00:31:12,459
Recognizing the majesty
of the quantum world
832
00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:13,927
only adds to the beauty of life.
833
00:31:13,928 --> 00:31:15,128
It does not subtract.
834
00:31:15,129 --> 00:31:16,696
So to answer your question, Mr. Hobbs,
835
00:31:16,697 --> 00:31:19,399
I don't just live in a beautiful world,
836
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,533
I understand it.
837
00:31:30,131 --> 00:31:32,118
We're in a difficult spot here, Russell.
838
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:35,272
Your legal options in fighting this case
839
00:31:35,273 --> 00:31:37,975
are extremely limited.
840
00:31:37,976 --> 00:31:39,676
If they rule in Evans' favor,
841
00:31:39,677 --> 00:31:41,779
there's very little we can do.
842
00:31:41,780 --> 00:31:45,381
Short of asserting
power by military junta.
843
00:31:46,884 --> 00:31:49,019
What if you tried reasoning with Evans?
844
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:50,554
Oh, we tried that.
845
00:31:50,555 --> 00:31:52,990
We even offered him
Secretary of Commerce.
846
00:31:52,991 --> 00:31:54,658
He turned it down.
847
00:31:54,659 --> 00:31:56,860
Well... What can I tell
you? He's a motivated guy.
848
00:31:56,861 --> 00:31:59,696
He's a sore-loser law unto himself.
849
00:31:59,697 --> 00:32:02,733
Give me odds on the ruling.
850
00:32:02,734 --> 00:32:04,835
60-40, us.
851
00:32:04,836 --> 00:32:07,938
Nothing we can really do but hang tight.
852
00:32:07,939 --> 00:32:09,907
Okay, thanks.
853
00:32:09,908 --> 00:32:12,174
I guess.
854
00:32:22,486 --> 00:32:25,589
Go back to the breath.
857
00:32:41,172 --> 00:32:45,042
Let the chips fall where they may.
858
00:32:45,043 --> 00:32:46,876
Breathe.
859
00:32:56,587 --> 00:32:59,389
Chips fall...
862
00:33:04,829 --> 00:33:06,864
Adele!
863
00:33:06,865 --> 00:33:09,199
Get me my file on Sam Evans.
864
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,902
It's time to take out the trash.
865
00:33:11,903 --> 00:33:13,406
What if we just buy the horse?
868
00:33:17,243 --> 00:33:20,611
Yes, it is, and that
was my first thought.
869
00:33:20,612 --> 00:33:22,346
The horse costs $2 million.
870
00:33:22,347 --> 00:33:23,680
Oh, my God.
871
00:33:23,681 --> 00:33:24,882
Does it sing and dance?
872
00:33:24,883 --> 00:33:26,817
Besides, even buying it
873
00:33:26,818 --> 00:33:28,585
looks like I'm taking sides
874
00:33:28,586 --> 00:33:30,654
on the referendum.
875
00:33:30,655 --> 00:33:32,189
I spent an hour on the phone
876
00:33:32,190 --> 00:33:33,957
with the Russian foreign minister,
877
00:33:33,958 --> 00:33:36,493
stepping out the
consequences of interfering
878
00:33:36,494 --> 00:33:38,128
with the democratic process.
879
00:33:38,129 --> 00:33:40,931
So I can't give them any ammunition.
880
00:33:40,932 --> 00:33:42,733
To knock you off your high horse.
881
00:33:43,801 --> 00:33:45,936
That was right there.
I had to, that was...
882
00:33:45,937 --> 00:33:47,271
It's the only one you get.
885
00:33:51,476 --> 00:33:55,045
Oh. Think I could call
and just check on her,
886
00:33:55,046 --> 00:33:57,080
make sure she got in okay?
887
00:33:57,081 --> 00:33:58,382
At her fiancé's place?
888
00:33:58,383 --> 00:34:00,149
Helicoptery, right?
889
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:02,452
Hey.
890
00:34:02,453 --> 00:34:04,154
It took a while, but I found your dress.
891
00:34:04,155 --> 00:34:05,355
Oh.
892
00:34:05,356 --> 00:34:06,790
I saw it in French Vogue
893
00:34:06,791 --> 00:34:09,459
and the stylist finally tracked it down.
894
00:34:09,460 --> 00:34:10,961
It's an Andre Devereaux,
895
00:34:10,962 --> 00:34:13,897
who is a totally cutting edge designer.
896
00:34:13,898 --> 00:34:15,732
No one else will be wearing it.
897
00:34:15,733 --> 00:34:17,434
Oh!
898
00:34:17,435 --> 00:34:20,170
That is really something, isn't it?
899
00:34:20,171 --> 00:34:22,573
- It is.
- You love it, right?
900
00:34:22,574 --> 00:34:23,907
Oh. I-I've...
901
00:34:23,908 --> 00:34:26,843
never seen anything like
it. It's just... every color.
902
00:34:26,844 --> 00:34:28,011
Ooh! Want to try it on?
903
00:34:28,012 --> 00:34:29,279
Tomorrow, baby.
904
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,248
I-I'm so tired, and...
905
00:34:31,249 --> 00:34:34,117
Yeah. I'll have all of your
accessories by then, anyways.
906
00:34:34,118 --> 00:34:36,453
- Oh, there's more. Just gonna...
- Love you.
907
00:34:36,454 --> 00:34:38,654
Good night.
908
00:34:40,390 --> 00:34:41,992
I can't wear that, right?
909
00:34:41,993 --> 00:34:44,027
I don't think so.
910
00:34:44,028 --> 00:34:46,897
Oh... But she'll be
so disappointed and...
911
00:34:46,898 --> 00:34:49,433
Babe, this is not the
lanyard she made for you
912
00:34:49,434 --> 00:34:51,101
in the second grade. This is your dress
913
00:34:51,102 --> 00:34:52,536
for the inaugural ball.
914
00:34:52,537 --> 00:34:54,671
You got to seem, uh...
915
00:34:54,672 --> 00:34:57,206
you know... sane.
916
00:34:58,775 --> 00:35:00,877
Stop trying to figure out
917
00:35:00,878 --> 00:35:04,281
how to make it work.
918
00:35:04,282 --> 00:35:06,350
Okay, then I'm calling Stevie.
919
00:35:08,553 --> 00:35:11,088
Hello. Hey, Mom!
920
00:35:11,089 --> 00:35:12,422
Wine.
921
00:35:12,423 --> 00:35:13,890
Uh... What's up?
922
00:35:13,891 --> 00:35:15,025
Oh...
923
00:35:15,026 --> 00:35:16,860
I was just calling to
see how your day was.
924
00:35:16,861 --> 00:35:17,928
Are you at Jareth's?
925
00:35:17,929 --> 00:35:20,364
Not yet. Um, we're just hanging out.
926
00:35:20,365 --> 00:35:22,332
Uh, uh, actually, I
need to get back to that.
927
00:35:22,333 --> 00:35:24,067
I-I'll call you later, okay?
928
00:35:24,068 --> 00:35:25,771
- But everything's fine.
- Good.
929
00:35:25,772 --> 00:35:27,605
Okay. Bye.
930
00:35:29,006 --> 00:35:30,829
- Okay. We need to roll him on his side,
- Yeah.
931
00:35:30,830 --> 00:35:32,797
- so he doesn't choke on his own vomit.
- What?
932
00:35:34,044 --> 00:35:36,580
Uh, nothing. Love you.
933
00:35:36,581 --> 00:35:39,349
All good. Bye.
934
00:35:39,350 --> 00:35:41,351
I admire your discipline, Russell.
935
00:35:41,352 --> 00:35:43,587
That is the saddest looking
plate I've ever seen.
936
00:35:43,588 --> 00:35:45,589
You know what?
937
00:35:45,590 --> 00:35:48,792
Turns out I like fish. And kale.
938
00:35:48,793 --> 00:35:51,061
Now I get what
everybody's talking about.
939
00:35:51,062 --> 00:35:52,829
What are you looking
to sell me on tonight?
940
00:35:52,830 --> 00:35:54,613
'Cause I'm not buying
that lame cabinet post.
941
00:35:54,614 --> 00:35:55,999
No, not a thing.
942
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,235
And the job offer's
no longer on the table.
943
00:35:58,236 --> 00:36:00,937
You looked that horse a
little too long in the mouth.
944
00:36:00,938 --> 00:36:02,205
See, the president
945
00:36:02,206 --> 00:36:04,241
doesn't know I'm here.
946
00:36:04,242 --> 00:36:06,777
Neither does the secretary.
947
00:36:06,778 --> 00:36:09,713
'Cause they're both
more principled people
948
00:36:09,714 --> 00:36:11,680
than I am.
949
00:36:13,950 --> 00:36:18,055
"In peace there is
nothing so becomes a man
950
00:36:18,056 --> 00:36:19,656
as modest stillness
951
00:36:19,657 --> 00:36:21,390
and humility.
952
00:36:22,726 --> 00:36:25,962
But when the blast of
war blows in our ears,
953
00:36:25,963 --> 00:36:29,932
then imitate the actions of the tiger."
954
00:36:31,201 --> 00:36:34,705
Henry V.
955
00:36:34,706 --> 00:36:37,274
We, uh, got our hands
on some oppo research
956
00:36:37,275 --> 00:36:39,538
that could have influenced
the narrative of the election,
957
00:36:39,539 --> 00:36:42,679
and the president decided not to use it.
958
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,181
He still feels that way.
959
00:36:44,182 --> 00:36:47,517
Even I had a moment on the
high road, but it turns out,
960
00:36:47,518 --> 00:36:51,221
it's not really my thing.
961
00:36:51,222 --> 00:36:54,424
'Cause I can't stand seeing
good people being hurt
962
00:36:54,425 --> 00:36:58,161
because of unbridled greed and ambition.
963
00:36:58,162 --> 00:37:00,564
So I want you to think
about this, Governor.
964
00:37:00,565 --> 00:37:02,966
Imagine if you held the country up
965
00:37:02,967 --> 00:37:05,769
in an elaborate legal proceeding,
966
00:37:05,770 --> 00:37:08,038
rattled their faith in the system,
967
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:09,940
even got yourself in office,
968
00:37:09,941 --> 00:37:13,376
only for the voting public to discover
969
00:37:13,377 --> 00:37:16,346
that you withheld information
970
00:37:16,347 --> 00:37:19,282
pertinent to your competency
971
00:37:19,283 --> 00:37:23,085
to be president of the United States.
972
00:37:26,857 --> 00:37:29,091
You're bluffing.
973
00:37:30,827 --> 00:37:33,630
You're welcome to try me.
974
00:37:41,489 --> 00:37:44,075
As the president and
members of his administration
975
00:37:44,076 --> 00:37:46,064
prepare for the inauguration ceremony,
976
00:37:46,065 --> 00:37:49,292
we've just received confirmation
that Governor Sam Evans
977
00:37:49,293 --> 00:37:51,110
has officially dropped his lawsuit
978
00:37:51,111 --> 00:37:52,644
against the state of Ohio.
979
00:37:52,645 --> 00:37:55,113
After much consideration and prayer,
980
00:37:55,114 --> 00:37:58,950
I've decided the best thing
for this country is to move on.
981
00:37:58,951 --> 00:38:01,620
Maintaining the Republic
and focusing on my work
982
00:38:01,621 --> 00:38:03,655
in the great state of Pennsylvania
983
00:38:03,656 --> 00:38:05,590
is of far greater importance
984
00:38:05,591 --> 00:38:07,559
than continuing to fight
this decision in court.
985
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,295
I'll be taking no questions. Thank you.
986
00:38:10,296 --> 00:38:11,630
What do you know?
987
00:38:11,631 --> 00:38:15,766
Four Horsemen can't be far behind.
988
00:38:19,638 --> 00:38:21,173
What are you doing?
989
00:38:21,174 --> 00:38:23,140
Oh! Oh, God.
990
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:26,745
Noodle, I'm so sorry. I just...
991
00:38:26,746 --> 00:38:29,047
I can't wear the dress
that you picked out.
992
00:38:29,048 --> 00:38:30,782
It's beautiful. It works great
993
00:38:30,783 --> 00:38:32,646
on somebody else, but I
just can't pull it off.
994
00:38:32,647 --> 00:38:34,019
And so I went back into my closet
995
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:37,422
and I-I found these two,
just... so much more me...
996
00:38:37,423 --> 00:38:38,490
Oh, thank God.
997
00:38:38,491 --> 00:38:39,624
What?
998
00:38:39,625 --> 00:38:41,426
I woke up in the middle of the night
999
00:38:41,427 --> 00:38:43,929
and I just totally started panicking.
1000
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:46,798
It's the inaugural ball, not the VMAs.
1001
00:38:46,799 --> 00:38:49,234
Suddenly, I pictured you
on some Worst Dressed list
1002
00:38:49,235 --> 00:38:52,704
next to Miley Cyrus, and it
would've been all my fault.
1003
00:38:52,705 --> 00:38:56,308
I'm just so happy that you're not upset.
1004
00:38:56,309 --> 00:38:59,578
It was sweet of you to trust
me with such a big decision,
1005
00:38:59,579 --> 00:39:01,446
I just... I wasn't ready.
1006
00:39:01,447 --> 00:39:03,381
- Oh, well...
- For your inauguration?
1007
00:39:03,382 --> 00:39:05,050
I will be.
1008
00:39:05,051 --> 00:39:06,685
That's very funny. In the meantime,
1009
00:39:06,686 --> 00:39:08,253
Which one of these do you like?
1010
00:39:08,254 --> 00:39:10,155
Uh... the blue one.
1011
00:39:10,156 --> 00:39:12,958
That's exactly what I think.
1012
00:39:12,959 --> 00:39:14,726
The blue one.
1013
00:39:27,873 --> 00:39:29,640
Mr. Hobbs?
1014
00:39:32,777 --> 00:39:35,079
Are you here?
1015
00:39:37,182 --> 00:39:39,417
Jareth, wake up. He's gone.
1016
00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:41,353
- What?
- Mr. Hobbs is gone.
1017
00:39:41,354 --> 00:39:43,288
- He's disappeared.
- All right, take it easy.
1018
00:39:43,289 --> 00:39:45,390
I can't! It's the day
of the inauguration,
1019
00:39:45,391 --> 00:39:47,759
and I have lost the poet laureate.
1020
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,061
Russell is gonna die.
1021
00:39:50,062 --> 00:39:52,030
He could actually die. Oh, my God.
1022
00:39:52,031 --> 00:39:54,132
Good morning, children.
1023
00:39:54,133 --> 00:39:56,567
I've got cappuccinos all around.
1024
00:39:58,103 --> 00:40:00,005
Um... Are you okay?
1025
00:40:00,006 --> 00:40:01,139
Glorious.
1026
00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:03,141
Got down to business at the coffee shop,
1027
00:40:03,142 --> 00:40:04,209
finished the poem.
1028
00:40:04,210 --> 00:40:07,244
I work better under pressure. Cruller?
1029
00:40:08,013 --> 00:40:10,215
Ooh.
1030
00:40:14,358 --> 00:40:15,425
There he is.
1031
00:40:15,426 --> 00:40:17,161
- Bess.
- Congratulations.
1032
00:40:17,162 --> 00:40:18,428
- Henry.
- Mr. President.
1033
00:40:18,429 --> 00:40:19,797
Well, that was a cinch,
wasn't it? Getting here.
1034
00:40:19,798 --> 00:40:21,198
- Piece of cake.
- Like butter.
1035
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:22,933
Barely felt it myself.
1036
00:40:22,934 --> 00:40:24,935
Henry. A word?
1037
00:40:24,936 --> 00:40:29,506
Warren Lee has agreed to help
us break into the bomber's phone.
1038
00:40:29,507 --> 00:40:30,707
What'd you do?
1039
00:40:30,708 --> 00:40:34,011
I told him about the system
we use to develop assets.
1040
00:40:34,012 --> 00:40:35,245
MIC.
1041
00:40:35,246 --> 00:40:37,147
Money, ideology, coercion.
1042
00:40:37,148 --> 00:40:39,783
Actually, the system is MICE.
1043
00:40:39,784 --> 00:40:44,221
With an "E." The fourth approach
is appealing to the asset's ego.
1044
00:40:44,222 --> 00:40:48,691
I failed to mention that when
I told him he was our only hope.
1045
00:40:49,426 --> 00:40:51,261
Okay.
1046
00:40:51,262 --> 00:40:53,430
Mr. President.
1047
00:40:53,431 --> 00:40:54,531
Congratulations, sir.
1048
00:40:54,532 --> 00:40:56,053
- Thank you, Nadine.
- Congratulations.
1049
00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:57,554
- Blake.
- Pardon me for interrupting,
1050
00:40:57,555 --> 00:40:59,136
but there is news from Mongolia.
1051
00:40:59,137 --> 00:41:00,804
The referendum vote came in.
1052
00:41:00,805 --> 00:41:03,640
They voted to remain independent.
1053
00:41:03,641 --> 00:41:06,276
That's a good thing.
1054
00:41:06,277 --> 00:41:07,544
Now, about the horse.
1055
00:41:07,545 --> 00:41:08,779
Mandy. Her name is Mandy.
1056
00:41:08,780 --> 00:41:11,014
We found a suitable home for...
1057
00:41:11,015 --> 00:41:12,049
Mandy.
1058
00:41:12,050 --> 00:41:14,151
Cuba has agreed to take her.
1059
00:41:14,152 --> 00:41:16,420
Their laws around importing livestock
1060
00:41:16,421 --> 00:41:18,355
are still in a nascent stage.
1061
00:41:18,356 --> 00:41:20,157
At first, I worried the
climate was too warm,
1062
00:41:20,158 --> 00:41:21,959
but the vibe there is so great.
1063
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,026
Well, that's a relief.
1064
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:25,562
Thanks, guys. Love it
when it all works out.
1065
00:41:25,563 --> 00:41:27,297
What? The, uh, the Evans thing?
1066
00:41:27,298 --> 00:41:30,433
No. But since you brought it up...
1067
00:41:31,168 --> 00:41:33,503
Any idea what happened there?
1068
00:41:33,504 --> 00:41:38,008
I guess the chips
just fell our way, sir.
1069
00:41:38,009 --> 00:41:42,145
Sitting high above the Potomac swamp,
1070
00:41:42,146 --> 00:41:44,681
in the long shadow of
the spilt blood and dreams
1071
00:41:44,682 --> 00:41:46,984
of the Founding Fathers
and Founding Mothers,
1072
00:41:46,985 --> 00:41:51,488
I can see more than
the average man sees.
1073
00:41:51,489 --> 00:41:56,360
I imagine the cells,
the nucleus of things.
1074
00:41:56,361 --> 00:41:58,962
I see colors that evolved
1075
00:41:58,963 --> 00:42:01,498
to speak to the smallest of eyes.
1076
00:42:01,499 --> 00:42:04,201
Sacrifices that meet in this cataclysm
1077
00:42:04,202 --> 00:42:08,005
of longing for what can and what can,
1078
00:42:08,006 --> 00:42:09,806
overcoming what cannot.
1079
00:42:09,807 --> 00:42:12,976
In the majesty of the quantum world,
1080
00:42:12,977 --> 00:42:15,412
in the beauty of building blocks,
1081
00:42:15,413 --> 00:42:17,581
in the tiniest of elements,
1082
00:42:17,582 --> 00:42:21,618
I glimpse the privilege of being.
1083
00:42:21,619 --> 00:42:26,256
This alertness does
