Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:12,788 --> 00:00:16,101
NSA reports easing
of hostile chatter inside VAJA,
2
00:00:16,125 --> 00:00:19,271
so the Eli Volk incident
is in the rearview for now,
3
00:00:19,295 --> 00:00:21,773
though noise continues
over Reza Mousavi's detention
4
00:00:21,797 --> 00:00:23,775
and ongoing sanctions.
5
00:00:23,799 --> 00:00:28,246
Finally, ma'am, DIA reports that
a Chinese light frigate warship
6
00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:30,949
fired warning shots
at a Russian-flagged oil tanker
7
00:00:30,973 --> 00:00:32,417
in the South China Sea,
8
00:00:32,441 --> 00:00:33,785
forcing it to reroute away
9
00:00:33,809 --> 00:00:36,087
from internationally
recognized shipping lanes.
10
00:00:36,111 --> 00:00:38,023
As established by the Singapore
Interchange you negotiated
11
00:00:38,047 --> 00:00:40,358
less than four years ago, ma'am.
12
00:00:40,382 --> 00:00:42,928
RUSSELL: But since Russia wasn't
part of the accord, they...
13
00:00:42,952 --> 00:00:46,431
Moscow has been working
with Vietnam to exploit
14
00:00:46,455 --> 00:00:49,401
disputed oil and natural gas rights.
15
00:00:49,425 --> 00:00:52,604
So Beijing seized
on a-a political gray area
16
00:00:52,628 --> 00:00:54,105
to give the Heisman
to Russia's efforts?
17
00:00:54,129 --> 00:00:55,707
- Not exactly shocking.
- HILL: True.
18
00:00:55,731 --> 00:00:58,543
But recent surveillance photos
show an alarming buildup
19
00:00:58,567 --> 00:01:03,648
of Chinese military personnel
on one island in particular.
20
00:01:03,672 --> 00:01:04,983
Hainan Dao.
21
00:01:05,007 --> 00:01:06,718
Well, even naming it
breaks the spirit,
22
00:01:06,742 --> 00:01:08,520
if not the letter, of the treaty.
23
00:01:08,544 --> 00:01:11,423
- Thank you.
- So, basically,
24
00:01:11,447 --> 00:01:13,959
just another beautiful day
in the neighborhood.
25
00:01:13,983 --> 00:01:15,594
(LAUGHTER)
26
00:01:15,618 --> 00:01:18,363
Ellen, when was our last naval flyby
27
00:01:18,387 --> 00:01:20,265
- near Hainan Dao?
- Couple of weeks ago.
28
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:24,269
We usually go for one a month,
keep them honest.
29
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,938
Let's move the next one
up. Soon as possible.
30
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:28,974
I don't want Beijing
getting comfortable
31
00:01:28,998 --> 00:01:31,209
bullying other countries
in international waters.
32
00:01:31,233 --> 00:01:33,645
HILL: Yes, ma'am.
33
00:01:33,669 --> 00:01:35,319
Look, I...
34
00:01:36,839 --> 00:01:42,220
I know that the impeachment
hearing is on everybody's mind.
35
00:01:42,244 --> 00:01:45,123
I've been going
about business as usual
36
00:01:45,147 --> 00:01:48,059
because I do truly believe
37
00:01:48,083 --> 00:01:50,662
that it is best for
U.S. interests here
38
00:01:50,686 --> 00:01:52,163
and abroad.
39
00:01:52,187 --> 00:01:55,834
Anybody disagrees or has any concerns,
40
00:01:55,858 --> 00:01:57,875
I'm all ears.
41
00:02:00,429 --> 00:02:02,407
Okay. Thank you, everyone.
42
00:02:02,431 --> 00:02:04,282
- Thank you, ma'am.
- (OTHERS MURMURING)
43
00:02:09,538 --> 00:02:10,882
So... (SIGHS)
44
00:02:10,906 --> 00:02:13,151
House Judiciary just
scheduled your appearance
45
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:15,820
before the committee.
46
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:17,155
Day after tomorrow.
47
00:02:17,179 --> 00:02:18,690
- Good.
- MIKE: Not good.
48
00:02:18,714 --> 00:02:20,792
Bad. Apocalyptically bad.
49
00:02:20,816 --> 00:02:23,395
Hanson's out there whipping
the press into a lather
50
00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:24,796
over you wagging the dog with Iran
51
00:02:24,820 --> 00:02:26,498
and collusion and nepotism
52
00:02:26,522 --> 00:02:29,034
and, I don't know,
sorcery and cannibalism.
53
00:02:29,058 --> 00:02:31,436
Your numbers are eroding
by the hour and you're about
54
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:34,005
- to step into the Star Chamber.
- I know, Mike.
55
00:02:34,029 --> 00:02:36,211
MIKE: Then do something about it.
You're losing the public.
56
00:02:36,212 --> 00:02:38,176
Use the bully pulpit
57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,344
to bully the crap out of them.
58
00:02:39,368 --> 00:02:41,246
Congress has the right to investigate.
59
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:43,381
Not to defame. Not to lie.
Not to attack...
60
00:02:43,405 --> 00:02:45,817
You show me where in the
Constitution it says they don't.
61
00:02:45,841 --> 00:02:47,919
I am not going to attack Congress,
62
00:02:47,943 --> 00:02:51,389
no matter how much I deplore Hanson
63
00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:53,258
and Canning's tactics.
64
00:02:53,282 --> 00:02:55,827
- How's the whip count?
- Not good.
65
00:02:55,851 --> 00:02:59,064
If the House voted today, they'd
have impeachment by two votes.
66
00:02:59,088 --> 00:03:02,200
MIKE: And the Senate will convict,
making you the first president
67
00:03:02,224 --> 00:03:04,603
to be removed from office.
68
00:03:04,627 --> 00:03:06,204
Hell, even Congressman Weenie
69
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:08,440
- is sitting this one out.
- Yeah, what about Heeney?
70
00:03:08,464 --> 00:03:11,076
You know? We ever figure out
why he's being so timid?
71
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,745
MIKE: He's quoted in the Chronicle
piece saying he's simply
72
00:03:13,769 --> 00:03:16,247
"acceding to the chairman
and his Article One duty."
73
00:03:16,271 --> 00:03:17,582
Which makes me think
74
00:03:17,606 --> 00:03:21,252
Canning or Hanson
or one of their stooges
75
00:03:21,276 --> 00:03:23,121
has something on the good congressman.
76
00:03:23,145 --> 00:03:24,589
I could get into it.
77
00:03:24,613 --> 00:03:25,957
ELIZABETH: Russell,
78
00:03:25,981 --> 00:03:28,827
- what's next?
- RUSSELL: Uh, NEC roundtable
79
00:03:28,851 --> 00:03:30,729
in the Roosevelt Room.
80
00:03:30,753 --> 00:03:32,236
Okay.
81
00:03:33,422 --> 00:03:35,973
♪
82
00:03:40,496 --> 00:03:42,474
HENRY: There's leftover tempeh tacos.
83
00:03:42,498 --> 00:03:44,809
Well, they're not
really tacos. They're...
84
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,679
uh, just these
shell-like things and...
85
00:03:47,703 --> 00:03:49,981
Gee, when you put it like that...
86
00:03:50,005 --> 00:03:51,316
- You want to come up?
- No.
87
00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,151
Kind of want to stay here
88
00:03:53,175 --> 00:03:55,153
while I still can. (CHUCKLES)
89
00:03:55,177 --> 00:03:56,621
You want company?
90
00:03:56,645 --> 00:03:58,129
(QUIETLY): Yeah.
91
00:04:01,517 --> 00:04:05,864
I know that this is hard on you, too.
92
00:04:05,888 --> 00:04:08,366
Well, only when I see them
go after you.
93
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:10,168
Politics ain't beanbag.
94
00:04:10,192 --> 00:04:13,144
Yeah, but it ain't supposed to
be The Hunger Games, either.
95
00:04:14,663 --> 00:04:16,975
Go home, Blake!
96
00:04:16,999 --> 00:04:19,444
BLAKE: Not while
you're still here, ma'am!
97
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:21,446
I am still here,
98
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:23,081
aren't I?
99
00:04:23,105 --> 00:04:24,315
Yeah, it would seem so.
100
00:04:24,339 --> 00:04:26,651
You know, I once read that
you can effect more change
101
00:04:26,675 --> 00:04:29,554
in a day as president than you can
102
00:04:29,578 --> 00:04:31,089
for the rest of your life
after you leave office.
103
00:04:31,113 --> 00:04:33,358
I believe that.
104
00:04:33,382 --> 00:04:35,393
So, let's make a bucket list.
105
00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:39,330
E-Everything that we want to do...
106
00:04:39,354 --> 00:04:42,300
before we leave here.
107
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:45,203
Okay... oh, oh.
I've always wanted to...
108
00:04:45,227 --> 00:04:47,038
(QUIETLY):
sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom.
109
00:04:47,062 --> 00:04:49,207
- Does that count?
- Okay, yeah.
110
00:04:49,231 --> 00:04:51,710
- (LAUGHS): Yeah.
- Not that it's gonna effect any change...
111
00:04:51,734 --> 00:04:53,211
It will for us.
112
00:04:53,235 --> 00:04:55,380
- Tonight.
- Mm-hmm.
113
00:04:55,404 --> 00:04:59,350
I have always wanted to answer calls
114
00:04:59,374 --> 00:05:01,386
at the White House switchboard.
115
00:05:01,410 --> 00:05:03,154
There's a switchboard?
116
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:04,489
I don't know.
117
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:07,926
Where the calls come in.
I want to take calls.
118
00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:10,161
Gun control? Can...
I mean, is that too big?
119
00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:11,329
No.
120
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:12,731
Are you kidding? It's our list.
121
00:05:12,755 --> 00:05:14,132
We can do whatever we want.
122
00:05:14,156 --> 00:05:16,501
- What else?
- STEVIE: Hi.
123
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:17,569
ELIZABETH and HENRY: Hey.
124
00:05:17,593 --> 00:05:19,237
Blake told me you guys were in here.
125
00:05:19,261 --> 00:05:20,839
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
126
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,941
No, no, it's... (CHUCKLES)
127
00:05:22,965 --> 00:05:25,276
- You okay, sweetie?
- Yeah.
128
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:26,444
- Yeah?
- Uh, yeah.
129
00:05:26,468 --> 00:05:28,780
I'm pretty great, actually.
130
00:05:28,804 --> 00:05:30,715
Sorry. With everything going on,
I know that's not really...
131
00:05:30,739 --> 00:05:32,050
Oh, come on.
132
00:05:32,074 --> 00:05:36,054
Listen, we could use
a little "pretty great."
133
00:05:36,078 --> 00:05:37,222
What do you got?
134
00:05:37,246 --> 00:05:41,092
Okay, um, so it was
kind of a bumpy start.
135
00:05:41,116 --> 00:05:44,963
But things with Dmitri
are, like, really wonderful.
136
00:05:44,987 --> 00:05:47,365
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) I'm not sure
if I've ever been happier.
137
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:49,534
- You deserve it.
- Well, that's a nice piece...
138
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:51,369
- Thanks.
- ...of pretty great right there.
139
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:53,338
Yeah, we're, like, making plans...
140
00:05:53,362 --> 00:05:55,006
playfully... but, you know,
141
00:05:55,030 --> 00:05:57,509
what are we gonna be doing
in a few years, like, ten years,
142
00:05:57,533 --> 00:05:59,277
and where we want to live
143
00:05:59,301 --> 00:06:00,912
and how many kids and...
144
00:06:00,936 --> 00:06:02,386
Where and how many?
145
00:06:03,272 --> 00:06:04,382
- Keep going.
- Okay.
146
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:06,885
But it's just that...
147
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:08,987
we-we know that we
want to be together.
148
00:06:09,011 --> 00:06:10,989
It's just, I'm-I'm worried.
149
00:06:11,013 --> 00:06:13,124
I think he might be afraid to take it
150
00:06:13,148 --> 00:06:16,444
- to the next level, like, to propose.
- Oh.
151
00:06:16,468 --> 00:06:18,463
- Just, everything that happened,
like, in my testimony.
152
00:06:18,487 --> 00:06:20,031
I just feel like there's
a moment for these things,
153
00:06:20,055 --> 00:06:21,099
and I-I really, I don't want us
154
00:06:21,123 --> 00:06:23,635
to miss our moment. So,
155
00:06:23,659 --> 00:06:28,112
- I am gonna propose to him.
- (GASPS) Oh!
156
00:06:28,136 --> 00:06:29,607
- (LAUGHS)
- Oh, my God!
157
00:06:29,631 --> 00:06:30,942
- Is that crazy?
- Oh...
158
00:06:30,966 --> 00:06:32,944
- No, it's not crazy.
- Stevie. Oh, mwah.
159
00:06:32,968 --> 00:06:34,112
Look at where we are!
160
00:06:34,136 --> 00:06:36,214
- Yeah, girl power central here.
- Oh...
161
00:06:36,238 --> 00:06:38,116
But if it's gonna mess up your
lives... This is what I wanted
162
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:39,484
to talk to you about.
I don't want to...
163
00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:41,953
Stevie, listen, don't
ever postpone your life
164
00:06:41,977 --> 00:06:44,889
- over political noise or anything else.
- Yeah. Hear, hear.
165
00:06:44,913 --> 00:06:47,258
- Got it.
- Now-now, c-come on. Tell us the details.
166
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:48,760
Oh... Come on. Just...
How you gonna do it?
167
00:06:48,784 --> 00:06:50,295
- No, no. She's right.
- W-We won't... ask. You know.
168
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,330
B-But how and when? But... yeah.
169
00:06:52,354 --> 00:06:53,932
BLAKE: Okay, you guys
are talking so loudly,
170
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:55,200
and I... can I just hear
this part, please?
171
00:06:55,224 --> 00:06:56,534
- Yes. Okay.
- Okay.
172
00:06:56,558 --> 00:06:58,870
Um, so the day after tomorrow...
173
00:06:58,894 --> 00:07:01,139
Uh, you guys know that Chinese
restaurant, Hong Kong Garden?
174
00:07:01,163 --> 00:07:02,985
Oh, the one in Dupont Circle,
or the other one?
175
00:07:02,986 --> 00:07:03,833
Okay.
176
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:05,877
Dupont, yeah. Um, so they
have, like, these, uh,
177
00:07:05,901 --> 00:07:07,745
personalized, um, fortune cookies.
178
00:07:07,769 --> 00:07:11,516
So I'm going to have them
plant the proposal
179
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:12,984
- in the fortune cookie.
- (LAUGHTER)
180
00:07:13,008 --> 00:07:14,886
- That's genius.
- That's great.
181
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:18,356
Just proofread it before
they stick it in the cookie.
182
00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:21,025
Yeah, good call there, Elibet.
183
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:23,528
That's a reference to
a skywriting proposal.
184
00:07:23,552 --> 00:07:25,630
See, this is why they have assistants.
185
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:28,399
Hey, why don't you, um,
bring Dmitri over here after
186
00:07:28,423 --> 00:07:30,668
and we can have a champagne toast?
187
00:07:30,692 --> 00:07:32,170
Yeah. I will.
188
00:07:32,194 --> 00:07:33,338
Thanks.
189
00:07:33,362 --> 00:07:34,439
- Aw.
- I'm so excited.
190
00:07:34,463 --> 00:07:36,074
(LAUGHTER)
191
00:07:36,098 --> 00:07:37,742
Oh, we're excited for you.
192
00:07:37,766 --> 00:07:39,477
- And grandkids.
- Just...
193
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:41,145
HENRY: Just give her...
- She brought it up.
194
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:43,014
Slow down, Mom.
195
00:07:43,038 --> 00:07:44,883
- Well, you're the one who brought it up.
- She's not even married yet.
196
00:07:44,907 --> 00:07:46,818
STEVIE: Good night.
197
00:07:46,842 --> 00:07:49,654
Speaking of up.
That's where I'm going.
198
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:51,656
Come on. Go home, Blake.
199
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,292
Okay. Uh, congratulation... um...
200
00:07:54,316 --> 00:07:57,495
Almost congratulations,
Dr. McCord, Madam President.
201
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,364
(MOUTHS)
202
00:07:59,388 --> 00:08:01,165
(WHISPERS): Stevie's wedding.
203
00:08:01,189 --> 00:08:03,968
(WHISPERS): Lincoln Bedroom.
204
00:08:03,992 --> 00:08:05,069
- Let's go.
- Rawr.
205
00:08:05,093 --> 00:08:06,237
(BOTH LAUGH)
206
00:08:06,261 --> 00:08:07,572
RUSSELL: Let's push
207
00:08:07,596 --> 00:08:09,407
the DPC meeting.
208
00:08:09,431 --> 00:08:12,410
No point improving the
aqueducts while Rome burns.
209
00:08:12,434 --> 00:08:14,412
Ha! Good morning.
210
00:08:14,436 --> 00:08:16,648
- Hey.
- Rome burning again?
211
00:08:16,672 --> 00:08:18,816
I'm sorry, am... I late?
212
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,085
Nope. No, I'm just...
213
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:22,220
Carpe diem, you know?
214
00:08:22,244 --> 00:08:23,955
Which, as Henry pointed out,
215
00:08:23,979 --> 00:08:26,491
is part of a longer phrase.
216
00:08:26,515 --> 00:08:29,027
Carpe diem, quam minimum
217
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:30,395
credula postero.
218
00:08:30,419 --> 00:08:31,896
It means,
219
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,331
"Seize the day,
220
00:08:33,355 --> 00:08:35,199
put very little trust
in tomorrow," which...
221
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,701
You can see how
that might speak to me.
222
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:39,337
- I think it's beautiful.
- Right?
223
00:08:39,361 --> 00:08:42,674
So I made a to-do list for today.
224
00:08:42,698 --> 00:08:44,676
- (MUTTERS)
- Oh.
225
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,878
- South China Sea.
- What about it?
226
00:08:46,902 --> 00:08:48,046
Fix it.
227
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:50,615
After the dustup
between China and Russia,
228
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,151
why not revisit
the Singapore Interchange?
229
00:08:53,175 --> 00:08:55,119
We can address all outstanding issues
230
00:08:55,143 --> 00:08:58,523
and finally bring peace
and stability to the region.
231
00:08:58,547 --> 00:09:00,558
- RUSSELL: Is that all?
- Ha! No.
232
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:01,993
That is very... Do you really want
233
00:09:02,017 --> 00:09:04,095
to take on one of the most
intractable problems
234
00:09:04,119 --> 00:09:08,166
in the world while your head
is on the chopping block?
235
00:09:08,190 --> 00:09:10,868
Yep. Have Susan get into it
with Chen and Avdonin.
236
00:09:10,892 --> 00:09:13,871
And then I want to get serious
about carbon reduction.
237
00:09:13,895 --> 00:09:18,042
- Uh-huh.
- And expanding health care rolls.
238
00:09:18,066 --> 00:09:20,670
- Okay.
- And... ah, ugh... gun control.
239
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:21,509
Mm-hmm.
240
00:09:21,510 --> 00:09:23,314
Why not just do world
peace while you're at it?
241
00:09:23,338 --> 00:09:26,084
That's the spirit.
What the hell? Write that down.
242
00:09:26,108 --> 00:09:27,485
World peace. Got it.
243
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:28,720
- (CHUCKLES)
- You do...
244
00:09:28,744 --> 00:09:31,723
you do realize you need Congress
at your back,
245
00:09:31,747 --> 00:09:34,092
not actively trying to bury you,
246
00:09:34,116 --> 00:09:35,727
in order to get anything done.
247
00:09:35,751 --> 00:09:37,295
Russell, if I hunker down,
248
00:09:37,319 --> 00:09:39,630
(WHISPERS):
aren't I just burying myself?
249
00:09:39,654 --> 00:09:41,299
All due respect, y-you did pass
250
00:09:41,323 --> 00:09:43,034
- ESI and-and...
- Yes!
251
00:09:43,058 --> 00:09:45,160
...the VA Mental Health
Modernization Act...
252
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:46,194
- Yes.
253
00:09:46,195 --> 00:09:48,339
...the free trade agreement
with South Korea.
254
00:09:48,363 --> 00:09:51,409
It's true. So, I want to push forward
255
00:09:51,433 --> 00:09:53,378
while they try to stop me.
256
00:09:53,402 --> 00:09:54,545
Good morning, Madam President.
257
00:09:54,569 --> 00:09:56,147
Carpe diem, Blake.
258
00:09:56,171 --> 00:09:58,850
Quam minimum credula postero.
259
00:09:58,874 --> 00:10:00,691
Yes, ma'am.
260
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:12,000
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
261
00:10:15,158 --> 00:10:18,805
Dr. McCord, Dmitri Petrov is
a little early for your 3:00.
262
00:10:18,806 --> 00:10:20,784
Oh, uh, thanks. Great. Send him in.
263
00:10:20,808 --> 00:10:23,186
Right this way, Mr. Petrov.
264
00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:25,669
Hey, there he is. Wow, looking sharp.
265
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:27,448
Hey. Thanks for making the time.
266
00:10:27,472 --> 00:10:28,716
Oh, of course. Any time.
267
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:30,218
I've got a lot of ideas for you.
268
00:10:30,242 --> 00:10:32,286
Well, I hope you didn't
spend too much time
269
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:33,621
thinking about my future prospects
270
00:10:33,645 --> 00:10:34,956
because that was a ruse.
271
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:36,557
Really?
272
00:10:36,581 --> 00:10:38,133
Forgive me, I'm a little nervous.
273
00:10:38,134 --> 00:10:39,870
You know Stevie and I
have been back together
274
00:10:39,871 --> 00:10:40,915
- for a while now.
- I do.
275
00:10:40,939 --> 00:10:41,982
I think it's great.
276
00:10:42,006 --> 00:10:43,250
I'm very relieved to hear that.
277
00:10:43,274 --> 00:10:46,187
Because, with your permission...
278
00:10:46,211 --> 00:10:47,988
I want to ask Stephanie to marry me.
279
00:10:48,012 --> 00:10:49,290
Oh, my God!
280
00:10:49,314 --> 00:10:52,259
Wow, wow...
281
00:10:52,283 --> 00:10:53,961
Yes, yeah, uh, yes.
282
00:10:53,985 --> 00:10:56,764
But you don't have to ask me.
283
00:10:56,788 --> 00:10:58,599
Oh, I should ask the president, too?
284
00:10:58,623 --> 00:11:00,868
No, no, I just mean...
well, neither of us.
285
00:11:00,892 --> 00:11:03,204
Stevie's an adult, uh,
286
00:11:03,228 --> 00:11:05,061
but I appreciate the sentiment,
287
00:11:05,062 --> 00:11:06,072
given our past.
288
00:11:06,096 --> 00:11:07,240
Yeah, thanks.
289
00:11:07,264 --> 00:11:08,742
I wasn't sure with
the whole investigation
290
00:11:08,766 --> 00:11:12,412
if maybe you'd want me to wait
or just disappear altogether.
291
00:11:12,436 --> 00:11:14,781
Nonsense, life goes on
despite politics.
292
00:11:14,805 --> 00:11:18,284
Although I can't make
any guarantees about Stevie.
293
00:11:18,308 --> 00:11:19,352
Oh, of course not.
294
00:11:19,376 --> 00:11:20,587
That's on me.
295
00:11:20,611 --> 00:11:22,388
So, if you don't mind me asking,
296
00:11:22,412 --> 00:11:23,790
when were you gonna pop the question?
297
00:11:23,814 --> 00:11:25,425
Tomorrow night.
298
00:11:25,449 --> 00:11:26,793
Yeah, we're going out for
Chinese food, and then...
299
00:11:26,817 --> 00:11:28,294
Uh-huh... after that, I booked
300
00:11:28,318 --> 00:11:30,163
a private cruise on the Potomac.
301
00:11:30,187 --> 00:11:32,198
- So, after dinner?
- Yeah.
302
00:11:32,222 --> 00:11:33,566
Yeah, she has no idea.
303
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:35,969
You're secret's safe with me.
(CHUCKLES)
304
00:11:35,993 --> 00:11:38,236
ELIZABETH: But I don't understand
305
00:11:38,237 --> 00:11:40,849
why I have to take
time out of my schedule
306
00:11:40,873 --> 00:11:42,751
to practice telling the truth.
307
00:11:42,775 --> 00:11:44,753
Because I'm gonna be the counsel
of record at your side.
308
00:11:44,777 --> 00:11:46,722
You only get one chance not
to screw up your testimony
309
00:11:46,746 --> 00:11:47,790
and making me look bad.
310
00:11:47,814 --> 00:11:48,824
Okay, okay.
311
00:11:48,848 --> 00:11:49,992
Where are we on the list?
312
00:11:50,016 --> 00:11:51,260
The EPA is putting together a package
313
00:11:51,284 --> 00:11:52,561
of new carbon-reducing measures
314
00:11:52,585 --> 00:11:53,929
to present to Congress.
315
00:11:53,953 --> 00:11:55,564
Good, sounds like a good start.
316
00:11:55,588 --> 00:11:56,799
Yeah, what's next?
317
00:11:56,823 --> 00:11:59,001
I will have drafts by end
of the day of a bill
318
00:11:59,025 --> 00:12:01,703
to ban assault weapons
and an executive order
319
00:12:01,727 --> 00:12:03,739
directing NIH to research gun violence
320
00:12:03,763 --> 00:12:05,541
as a public health crisis.
321
00:12:05,565 --> 00:12:06,809
- Excellent.
- Oh, crap!
322
00:12:06,833 --> 00:12:08,030
- What?
- My cavity-search
323
00:12:08,031 --> 00:12:10,676
of Congressman Heeney's
entire life turned up bupkis.
324
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:12,812
I mean, detention in
the third grade for fighting,
325
00:12:12,836 --> 00:12:14,447
but he was defending some poor dweeb
326
00:12:14,471 --> 00:12:16,349
who was jumped by a gang
of fifth-graders.
327
00:12:16,373 --> 00:12:18,150
Damn yinzer's a saint
like his father before him.
328
00:12:18,174 --> 00:12:20,052
- Wait, Heeney is from Pittsburg?
- Yeah.
329
00:12:20,076 --> 00:12:21,821
He and his dad have been
clinging to that seat
330
00:12:21,845 --> 00:12:23,689
so long, Pittsburgh's gonna
name a barnacle after them.
331
00:12:23,713 --> 00:12:24,857
- Huh.
- What?
332
00:12:24,881 --> 00:12:26,525
Is that good?
333
00:12:26,549 --> 00:12:28,094
Could be.
334
00:12:28,118 --> 00:12:29,161
Hey, handsome.
335
00:12:29,185 --> 00:12:32,398
You going for a world record?
336
00:12:32,422 --> 00:12:34,333
I have 11 seconds left.
337
00:12:34,357 --> 00:12:36,035
- Hey, listen, I got your text...
- (GROANING)
338
00:12:36,059 --> 00:12:39,372
and I am dying to hear
all about the Dmitri thing,
339
00:12:39,396 --> 00:12:41,474
- but did you know...
- (ALARM BEEPING)
340
00:12:41,498 --> 00:12:44,310
that Congressman Heeney
is from Pittsburgh?
341
00:12:44,334 --> 00:12:47,713
Yes, I-I-I knew his
old man a little bit
342
00:12:47,737 --> 00:12:48,748
when I was a kid.
343
00:12:48,772 --> 00:12:50,149
How did I not know that?
344
00:12:50,173 --> 00:12:51,517
I didn't know him that well.
345
00:12:51,541 --> 00:12:52,852
I certainly didn't know Junior.
346
00:12:52,876 --> 00:12:54,954
Back in the day, my dad
organized his chapter
347
00:12:54,978 --> 00:12:57,123
to phone bank and
door-knock for Heeney Sr.
348
00:12:57,147 --> 00:12:58,791
Well, how do you feel about exploiting
349
00:12:58,815 --> 00:13:00,426
that paternal connection
350
00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:04,363
to suss out Heeney Jr.'s
acquiescence to Canning?
351
00:13:04,387 --> 00:13:05,831
Thought you didn't
want to play politics.
352
00:13:05,855 --> 00:13:08,234
Well, I don't.
353
00:13:08,258 --> 00:13:10,703
But I also don't want to go
whistling to the guillotine.
354
00:13:10,727 --> 00:13:12,738
That's Mike's metaphor.
355
00:13:12,762 --> 00:13:15,074
Uh, listen, I'd be happy to
reach out to the congressman.
356
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:16,675
We can reminisce about...
I don't know...
357
00:13:16,699 --> 00:13:19,412
our dads and when he
used to support you.
358
00:13:19,436 --> 00:13:20,679
Thank you.
359
00:13:20,703 --> 00:13:23,582
So, what about Dmitri's French farce?!
360
00:13:23,606 --> 00:13:25,818
So I completely forgot
361
00:13:25,842 --> 00:13:27,153
we had this meeting on the books.
362
00:13:27,177 --> 00:13:29,555
Is he really propose
tomorrow night, really?!
363
00:13:29,579 --> 00:13:30,723
After the dinner
364
00:13:30,747 --> 00:13:32,558
when Stevie is proposing to him.
365
00:13:32,582 --> 00:13:34,593
He even mentioned going
out for Chinese food.
366
00:13:34,617 --> 00:13:36,162
Should we warn her?
I mean, just in case
367
00:13:36,186 --> 00:13:39,365
she wants to give him
a chance to propose first?
368
00:13:39,389 --> 00:13:42,334
And betray the confidence
of our future son-in-law
369
00:13:42,358 --> 00:13:43,436
before they're even engaged?
370
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:45,938
Oh, very good point.
371
00:13:45,962 --> 00:13:48,074

374
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,850
Oh, great. Thanks.
375
00:13:57,874 --> 00:13:59,718
- Good morning, Dr. McCord.
- Hi.
376
00:13:59,742 --> 00:14:01,720
It's not every day I get
invited to the White House.
377
00:14:01,744 --> 00:14:02,822
Ah, well, welcome.
378
00:14:02,846 --> 00:14:05,357
I still can't believe
that I live here.
379
00:14:05,381 --> 00:14:06,425
- Yeah.
- Please, have a seat.
380
00:14:06,449 --> 00:14:08,661
Thank you.
381
00:14:08,685 --> 00:14:10,729
Uh, your dad was a union
organizer, I believe.
382
00:14:10,753 --> 00:14:12,264
- I think you knew my old man?
- Yeah.
383
00:14:12,288 --> 00:14:16,202
In fact... I remember
your dad being at my house
384
00:14:16,226 --> 00:14:19,105
on more than a few rye-soaked
evenings and them getting
385
00:14:19,129 --> 00:14:22,541
into it over negotiations
with USW and steelmakers.
386
00:14:22,565 --> 00:14:24,710
Even when they agreed,
it sounded like fighting.

(DEEP VOICE): Mm. "If you work hard,

Make a good life for your family."
390
00:14:29,606 --> 00:14:31,717
Our old men were
in the fight every day.
391
00:14:31,741 --> 00:14:33,219
And here we are.
392
00:14:33,243 --> 00:14:35,354
- Yeah.
- Different time.
393
00:14:35,378 --> 00:14:36,722
But still in it.
394
00:14:36,746 --> 00:14:39,692
So, I understand your
camp was, uh, disappointed
395
00:14:39,716 --> 00:14:41,494
I didn't run interference for you
396
00:14:41,518 --> 00:14:42,995
and your daughter at the hearings.
397
00:14:43,019 --> 00:14:44,563
Well, we weren't looking for
interference... we were just
398
00:14:44,587 --> 00:14:45,998
hoping you would speak up
when Chairman Canning
399
00:14:46,022 --> 00:14:48,534
made unsubstantiated charges.
400
00:14:48,558 --> 00:14:50,102
Well, the committee has to
investigate before we can
401
00:14:50,126 --> 00:14:52,238
determine what was
unsubstantiated and what wasn't.
402
00:14:52,262 --> 00:14:53,405
I appreciate that.
403
00:14:53,429 --> 00:14:55,741
But Canning is making
baseless accusations
404
00:14:55,765 --> 00:14:58,577
through innuendo and conjecture.
405
00:14:58,601 --> 00:15:00,779
And trying to manipulate
public opinion
406
00:15:00,803 --> 00:15:04,083
to exact a political price
before the investigations
407
00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:06,919
turned anything up.
I-I was just surprised that
408
00:15:06,943 --> 00:15:09,622
someone with your background
would let that happen.
409
00:15:09,646 --> 00:15:11,023
I'm sorry you feel that way.
410
00:15:11,047 --> 00:15:13,225
But one yinzer to another,
411
00:15:13,249 --> 00:15:15,794
my dad also taught me
that political survival
412
00:15:15,818 --> 00:15:17,329
is about relevance.
413
00:15:17,353 --> 00:15:19,665
Sometimes it doesn't make any sense
414
00:15:19,689 --> 00:15:22,568
to throw yourself in front
of a train you can't stop.
415
00:15:22,592 --> 00:15:25,437
So, letting Canning
steamroll the administration
416
00:15:25,461 --> 00:15:28,374
and the truth is about
political expediency
417
00:15:28,398 --> 00:15:29,642
and self-preservation?
418
00:15:29,666 --> 00:15:31,610
I didn't come here for a lecture.
419
00:15:31,634 --> 00:15:34,480
Administrations come and they go.
420
00:15:34,504 --> 00:15:36,515
My dad and I have been
protecting workers' rights
421
00:15:36,539 --> 00:15:38,117
in Pittsburgh for 60 years.
422
00:15:38,141 --> 00:15:40,152
And I intend to continue doing so
423
00:15:40,176 --> 00:15:42,555
when the next
administration takes over.
424
00:15:42,579 --> 00:15:44,190
And the one after that.

You can quote scripture all you want.
428
00:15:50,453 --> 00:15:51,964
I have to be practical.
429
00:15:51,988 --> 00:15:54,700
That's not scripture, Congressman.
430
00:15:54,724 --> 00:15:56,675
It's your father.

in a proceeding whose sole aim

is to oust me from office.

without limitation.

that such cooperation will finally

Then, uh, in service of your desire
459
00:17:20,652 --> 00:17:23,465
for a swift resolution,
Madam President,
460
00:17:23,489 --> 00:17:25,066
let us begin. Madam President,
461
00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:26,401
would you agree that your
462
00:17:26,425 --> 00:17:29,170
senior staff ultimately answer to you?
463
00:17:29,194 --> 00:17:31,172
- Yes.
- And you must also agree
464
00:17:31,196 --> 00:17:33,208
that you should be held
accountable for their conduct.
465
00:17:33,232 --> 00:17:35,810
For actions taken at
my direction, yes, of course.
466
00:17:35,834 --> 00:17:38,246
Let's start with your former
press secretary, Daisy Grant.
467
00:17:38,270 --> 00:17:40,515
Fired because she failed
468
00:17:40,539 --> 00:17:42,450
to disclose she was
in possession of evidence
469
00:17:42,474 --> 00:17:44,152
that Iran tampered with the election.
470
00:17:44,176 --> 00:17:46,554
To be accurate, Ms. Grant resigned.
471
00:17:46,578 --> 00:17:48,723
But you would have fired
her if she hadn't, correct?
472
00:17:48,747 --> 00:17:50,425
Yes, yes.
473
00:17:50,449 --> 00:17:52,427
Because you were looking
for a scapegoat for a decision
474
00:17:52,451 --> 00:17:53,995
that you knew
that you were responsible for.
475
00:17:54,019 --> 00:17:56,564
No, Mr. Chairman.
476
00:17:56,588 --> 00:18:00,201
Because Ms. Grant acted outside
the scope of her employment,
477
00:18:00,225 --> 00:18:02,437
without consulting me
478
00:18:02,461 --> 00:18:05,507
and in violation of her duties.
479
00:18:05,531 --> 00:18:07,175
Well, I think the evidence
to date has shown
480
00:18:07,199 --> 00:18:09,511
that your staff
was fiercely devoted to you.
481
00:18:09,535 --> 00:18:11,146
And they took no action
that they thought
482
00:18:11,170 --> 00:18:12,547
you would've disapproved of.
483
00:18:12,571 --> 00:18:14,649
Is there a question here,
Mr. Chairman?
484
00:18:14,673 --> 00:18:15,750
Yes, there is, Counselor.
485
00:18:15,774 --> 00:18:17,685
Madam President, are you telling
486
00:18:17,709 --> 00:18:19,287
this committee
487
00:18:19,311 --> 00:18:21,723
that Ms. Grant was a rogue actor?
488
00:18:21,747 --> 00:18:23,258
- Yes.
- Who wasn't even acting
489
00:18:23,282 --> 00:18:24,893
at your implied direction?
490
00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:27,962
Asked and answered.
Let's move on, Mr. Chairman.
491
00:18:27,986 --> 00:18:29,798
Then I'll cut to the chase.
492
00:18:29,822 --> 00:18:32,233
For the record, did you act
in concert with any member
493
00:18:32,257 --> 00:18:33,902
of the Iranian government
to undermine your opponent
494
00:18:33,926 --> 00:18:35,870
in the presidential election?
495
00:18:35,894 --> 00:18:36,938
No, I did not.
496
00:18:36,962 --> 00:18:38,273
Did you have any knowledge that Iran
497
00:18:38,297 --> 00:18:39,774
was interfering on your behalf
498
00:18:39,798 --> 00:18:41,376
during the presidential campaign?
499
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,478
No, I did not.
500
00:18:43,502 --> 00:18:45,080
You are aware that your answers today
501
00:18:45,104 --> 00:18:46,214
are under penalty of perjury?
502
00:18:46,238 --> 00:18:48,616
Yes, Mr. Chairman, I am.
503
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,120
And your implication
notwithstanding, I...
504
00:18:52,144 --> 00:18:53,755
I believe I have demonstrated
505
00:18:53,779 --> 00:18:57,292
how seriously I take
these proceedings.
506
00:18:57,316 --> 00:18:58,927
Why don't we test that
proposition by turning
507
00:18:58,951 --> 00:19:01,563
to your many contacts with
Iranian Foreign Minister Tousi
508
00:19:01,587 --> 00:19:03,298
during the election year.
509
00:19:03,322 --> 00:19:04,599
You were exceptionally close
510
00:19:04,623 --> 00:19:06,601
to the foreign minister, weren't you?

Sank it.

hundreds of casualties.

destroyer Edwin James
528
00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:48,476
was three miles outside
the coast of Hainan Dao
529
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:49,811
when it came under attack
530
00:19:49,835 --> 00:19:53,181
from two Chinese
Type 22 missile boats.
531
00:19:53,205 --> 00:19:54,849
Unprovoked?
532
00:19:54,873 --> 00:19:55,984
Yes, ma'am.
533
00:19:56,008 --> 00:19:59,220
I recommend going
to worldwide DEFCON 4
534
00:19:59,244 --> 00:20:02,624
and DEFCON 3 in INDOPACOM AOR.
535
00:20:02,648 --> 00:20:04,626
Do it.
536
00:20:04,650 --> 00:20:06,995
What the hell is
President Li thinking?
537
00:20:07,019 --> 00:20:08,263
General Hayes, where are we?
538
00:20:08,287 --> 00:20:10,298
Madam President, we're sending
539
00:20:10,322 --> 00:20:12,567
Carrier Strike Team 5
to assist the James
540
00:20:12,591 --> 00:20:15,537
and deter any further
incursions by hostiles.
541
00:20:15,561 --> 00:20:17,539
(QUIETLY): All right.
542
00:20:17,563 --> 00:20:19,140
Admiral Fanning,
I want to speak to the captain.
543
00:20:19,164 --> 00:20:22,544
Captain Woodcliff was KIA, ma'am.
544
00:20:22,568 --> 00:20:24,479
Executive Officer Harris in command.
545
00:20:24,503 --> 00:20:26,047
Let's get him on screen.
546
00:20:26,071 --> 00:20:28,183
Harris here.
547
00:20:28,207 --> 00:20:30,985
Commander Harris,
this is the president.
548
00:20:31,009 --> 00:20:33,655
I need you to describe
for me what happened.
549
00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:35,390
It was a routine flyby, ma'am.
550
00:20:35,414 --> 00:20:38,126
We were in egress when they lit us up.
551
00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:39,360
Was there any kind of warning?
552
00:20:39,384 --> 00:20:41,496
None. Phalanx CIWS
553
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,165
shot down most
of their missiles, but one
554
00:20:44,189 --> 00:20:45,700
made a direct hit on the bridge.
555
00:20:45,724 --> 00:20:46,901
- Damage control reports...
- (GARBLED TRANSMISSION)
556
00:20:46,925 --> 00:20:48,269
FANNING: Commander Harris?
557
00:20:48,293 --> 00:20:49,771
- (GARBLED TRANSMISSION)
- HARRIS: ...our best to triage.
558
00:20:49,795 --> 00:20:51,105
FANNING: Commander Harris,
can you proceed
559
00:20:51,129 --> 00:20:52,207
to the fallback point?
560
00:20:52,231 --> 00:20:54,509
HARRIS: Negative.
561
00:20:54,533 --> 00:20:57,512
Chief engineer reports
total engine failure.
562
00:20:57,536 --> 00:20:58,846
We're sitting ducks.
563
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:00,848
You sit tight, Commander.
564
00:21:00,872 --> 00:21:01,983
Help is on the way.
565
00:21:02,007 --> 00:21:03,251
HARRIS: Thank you, ma'am.
566
00:21:03,275 --> 00:21:05,053
HAYES: This is a list
of military targets
567
00:21:05,077 --> 00:21:07,388
on Hainan Dao.
568
00:21:07,412 --> 00:21:08,690
Codeword: Dragonfly.
569
00:21:08,714 --> 00:21:10,725
FANNING: Madam President,
we have an Ohio-class sub
570
00:21:10,749 --> 00:21:14,062
armed with conventional
warheads standing by.
571
00:21:14,086 --> 00:21:15,697
You want to retaliate.
572
00:21:15,721 --> 00:21:18,066
HILL: If we don't, we'll be
sending a message of weakness,
573
00:21:18,090 --> 00:21:21,102
giving the Chinese
carte blanche to escalate.
574
00:21:21,126 --> 00:21:24,772
Uh, and we've already killed
hundreds of their sailors.
575
00:21:24,796 --> 00:21:27,642
- That was self-defense.
- Yes, but to the Chinese,
576
00:21:27,666 --> 00:21:32,247
any further aggression
will be seen as gratuitous.
577
00:21:32,271 --> 00:21:35,717
They'll attack the Fifth Fleet next.
578
00:21:35,741 --> 00:21:37,118
Our war games make
579
00:21:37,142 --> 00:21:38,786
- no such assumption, ma'am.
- RUSSELL: How many deals
580
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:41,256
have you negotiated
with the Chinese, General?
581
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,091
I need to speak with President Li.
582
00:21:43,115 --> 00:21:45,660
Due respect, ma'am,
actions speak louder.
583
00:21:45,684 --> 00:21:48,796
I will not risk war
without a dialogue.
584
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:51,599
This is a rescue mission
until I say otherwise.
585
00:21:51,623 --> 00:21:54,110
- Are w... are we clear?
- Yes, ma'am.
586
00:21:54,111 --> 00:21:55,366
- Understood.
- Thank you.
587
00:21:57,690 --> 00:22:01,355
You invaded Chinese territory.
There is nothing more to say.
588
00:22:01,356 --> 00:22:05,369
President Li, we both know
accidents can happen.
589
00:22:05,393 --> 00:22:09,140
I'm offering you a chance
to walk this back.
590
00:22:09,164 --> 00:22:11,614
This was no accident.
Well, then, your attack
591
00:22:11,615 --> 00:22:13,593
was reckless and unprovoked.
592
00:22:13,617 --> 00:22:15,295
These flybys are routine.
593
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,465
There's nothing routine
about defending our sovereignty.
594
00:22:18,489 --> 00:22:20,467
It is our island.
595
00:22:20,491 --> 00:22:23,636
You want to litigate that point,
let's do it in Singapore.
596
00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:25,305
At a renewed diplomatic interchange.
597
00:22:25,329 --> 00:22:29,215
We no longer recognize
that interchange.
598
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:33,279
Apologize and withdraw your forces.
599
00:22:33,303 --> 00:22:35,482
I won't engage in ultimatums.
600
00:22:35,506 --> 00:22:37,484
Those are my terms.
601
00:22:37,508 --> 00:22:41,494
The rest is up to you,
Madam President.
602
00:22:45,883 --> 00:22:48,328
Can we expect support from our allies?
603
00:22:48,352 --> 00:22:50,830
In public, yes. In private,
I'm hearing concerns.
604
00:22:50,854 --> 00:22:53,867
Yeah, and in the meantime,
world markets are in free fall.
605
00:22:53,891 --> 00:22:55,401
Supermarkets are being overrun
606
00:22:55,425 --> 00:22:57,403
by people hoarding basic supplies
607
00:22:57,427 --> 00:23:00,373
and the top search on Google
is "nuclear war."
608
00:23:00,397 --> 00:23:04,677
It might be time to consider
an Oval Office address, ma'am.
609
00:23:04,701 --> 00:23:07,146
Well, and say what? If we want
to allay people's concern,
610
00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:09,015
we have to get our sailors
611
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:10,938
- and the James out of there...
- HILL: Madam President,
612
00:23:10,939 --> 00:23:13,375
SIGINT confirms the PLA has gone
613
00:23:13,376 --> 00:23:15,955
to combat readiness condition level 2.
614
00:23:15,979 --> 00:23:17,123
HAYES: Dongfeng 5
615
00:23:17,147 --> 00:23:18,892
ICBMs are moving to launchpads.
616
00:23:18,916 --> 00:23:21,895
They'll be capable of
nuclear first strike
617
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:24,130
within a few hours.
618
00:23:24,154 --> 00:23:26,366
That's absurd.
HILL: And yet, it's happening.
619
00:23:26,390 --> 00:23:27,534
Ma'am,
620
00:23:27,558 --> 00:23:28,968
- we must respond.
- RUSSELL: I agree.
621
00:23:28,992 --> 00:23:31,170
If this is how Li
622
00:23:31,194 --> 00:23:33,172
is choosing to communicate,
623
00:23:33,196 --> 00:23:35,208
we have to answer with strength.
624
00:23:35,232 --> 00:23:37,410
Go to DEFCON 2.
625
00:23:37,434 --> 00:23:40,079
Have all essential personnel
recalled to safe locations.
626
00:23:40,103 --> 00:23:42,415
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, Madam President.
627
00:23:42,439 --> 00:23:48,087
Okay. I... We need to track
President Li's logic here.
628
00:23:48,111 --> 00:23:50,390
It's a calculated flex.
629
00:23:50,414 --> 00:23:53,560
Probably because he believes
that I'm hamstrung
630
00:23:53,584 --> 00:23:55,094
by the impeachment hearing, right?
631
00:23:55,118 --> 00:23:57,497
THOMPSON: Li thinks
you're too weak to risk
632
00:23:57,521 --> 00:23:59,432
taking a divided nation to war.
633
00:23:59,456 --> 00:24:00,709
We just went to DEFCON 2,
634
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:02,855
so that ought to make him think twice.
635
00:24:02,879 --> 00:24:05,191
But Susan's right.
636
00:24:05,215 --> 00:24:08,294
We need to send a message of unity.
637
00:24:08,318 --> 00:24:09,795
How? I'll ask Congress
638
00:24:09,819 --> 00:24:12,298
for Authorization for
the Use of Military Force.
639
00:24:12,322 --> 00:24:15,834
An AUMF?
In the middle of an impeachment?
640
00:24:15,858 --> 00:24:18,804
Especially in the middle
of an impeachment.
641
00:24:18,828 --> 00:24:21,974
I have to trust that Congress
will do the right thing.
642
00:24:21,998 --> 00:24:24,149
All right.
643
00:24:26,035 --> 00:24:27,379
I'll reach out to leadership.
644
00:24:27,403 --> 00:24:30,549
Susan, tell Minister Chen
I want to talk to him.
645
00:24:30,573 --> 00:24:32,585
I know it bypasses protocol,
but I need a conversation
646
00:24:32,609 --> 00:24:34,420
with a friend over there.
647
00:24:34,444 --> 00:24:37,502
THOMPSON: I'll see what I can do.
648
00:24:37,503 --> 00:24:40,666
NEWS ANCHOR: President McCord
has just declared DEFCON 2,
649
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:43,713
meaning all U.S. military
around the world
650
00:24:43,737 --> 00:24:45,381
stand at hair-trigger readiness.
651
00:24:45,405 --> 00:24:47,851
Supermarkets across the nation
are reportedly preparing
652
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:49,719
for a rush of panicked consumers...
653
00:24:49,743 --> 00:24:51,154
Man.
654
00:24:51,178 --> 00:24:53,857
Maybe not the best night to be
eating at a Chinese restaurant.
655
00:24:53,881 --> 00:24:56,080
- Well, at least it's pretty empty.
- Yeah,
656
00:24:56,081 --> 00:24:59,026
probably because everyone's
already in bomb shelters.
657
00:24:59,611 --> 00:25:01,255
Hey, maybe we should go.
658
00:25:01,256 --> 00:25:03,334
Oh, wh... we can wait for the check.
659
00:25:03,358 --> 00:25:04,702
Ah. This will cover it.
660
00:25:04,726 --> 00:25:08,105
Well, hang on. What about
our fortune cookies?
661
00:25:08,129 --> 00:25:10,040
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
You hate fortune cookies.
662
00:25:10,064 --> 00:25:13,210
Well, maybe tonight I am feeling
a little bit superstitious.
663
00:25:13,234 --> 00:25:15,246
- No change. Thanks.
- What...
664
00:25:15,270 --> 00:25:17,114
What's, um... wait.
665
00:25:17,138 --> 00:25:18,882
Wh... uh, hang on.
What's-what's the rush?
666
00:25:18,906 --> 00:25:20,551
Come on. L-Let's read our fortunes.
667
00:25:20,575 --> 00:25:22,419
Excuse me. We have a security alert.
668
00:25:22,443 --> 00:25:24,421
We need to get you to the
White House immediately.
669
00:25:24,445 --> 00:25:26,390
...and fired upon the Edwin James
670
00:25:26,414 --> 00:25:27,558
when it passed within miles...
671
00:25:27,582 --> 00:25:28,859
Geez... I'm coming, I'm coming.
672
00:25:28,883 --> 00:25:31,034
Just...
673
00:25:35,723 --> 00:25:39,370
HAYES: Rescue operations have
proceeded without interference.
674
00:25:39,394 --> 00:25:41,372
We've recovered our sailors
675
00:25:41,396 --> 00:25:43,774
and towed the Edwin James out of area.
676
00:25:43,798 --> 00:25:45,476
But now the real threat is here.
677
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,411
Admiral?
678
00:25:47,435 --> 00:25:49,280
FANNING: A Chinese support
fleet has just assembled
679
00:25:49,304 --> 00:25:51,682
about 200 klicks west of Luzon.
680
00:25:51,706 --> 00:25:54,652
It includes six Type 072 landing craft
681
00:25:54,676 --> 00:25:58,722
with a deck cargo of DF-21D
anti-ship ballistic missiles.
682
00:25:58,746 --> 00:26:00,591
They call it the carrier killer.
683
00:26:00,615 --> 00:26:03,260
ETA to Hainan Dao is 12 hours.
684
00:26:03,284 --> 00:26:04,328
(SIGHS)
685
00:26:04,352 --> 00:26:05,663
Now, if those missiles reach land...
686
00:26:05,687 --> 00:26:07,464
HILL: It could neutralize
687
00:26:07,488 --> 00:26:11,235
our operative capabilities in
the South China Sea for decades.
688
00:26:11,259 --> 00:26:13,671
Clearly, this was the
endgame all along.
689
00:26:13,695 --> 00:26:17,775
To use the dustup with the
James as a manufactured pretext
690
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:20,177
to seize the regional advantage.
691
00:26:20,201 --> 00:26:21,345
Freedom of navigation
692
00:26:21,369 --> 00:26:23,504
is a bedrock principle,
Madam President.
693
00:26:23,505 --> 00:26:26,283
Nothing short of our liberty
is at stake here.
694
00:26:26,307 --> 00:26:29,620
It's also a blatant violation
of the Singapore Interchange.
695
00:26:29,644 --> 00:26:31,955
- We could go to the U.N.
- (RUSSELL SCOFFS)
696
00:26:31,979 --> 00:26:33,624
Where China has a veto.
697
00:26:33,648 --> 00:26:36,527
Or we can strike now.
698
00:26:36,551 --> 00:26:37,861
HILL: He's right, ma'am.
699
00:26:37,885 --> 00:26:40,464
The alternative is a complete retreat.
700
00:26:40,488 --> 00:26:42,333
What do you suggest?
701
00:26:42,357 --> 00:26:45,936
An immediate launch of our F-35s
on the USS Saratoga.
702
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,838
The remainder of the Fifth Fleet
703
00:26:47,862 --> 00:26:50,207
will launch Tomahawks against
the targets on Hainan Dao
704
00:26:50,231 --> 00:26:53,477
under Operation Dragonfly.
705
00:26:53,501 --> 00:26:57,114
With China's nuclear forces
and ours on high alert?
706
00:26:57,138 --> 00:27:00,117
This could trigger a-a carnage
that we can't stop.
707
00:27:00,141 --> 00:27:03,454
HILL: We have the superior
capability here, ma'am.
708
00:27:03,478 --> 00:27:04,888
Let's use it
709
00:27:04,912 --> 00:27:06,957
to shove them back and retain
710
00:27:06,981 --> 00:27:08,792
our strategic advantage
711
00:27:08,816 --> 00:27:10,461
in the South China Sea.
712
00:27:10,485 --> 00:27:12,196
Well, I agree
713
00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:15,132
we can't let those missiles
reach the island.
714
00:27:15,156 --> 00:27:18,435
But I am not prepared
to start a shooting war
715
00:27:18,459 --> 00:27:20,537
that could end with the unthinkable.
716
00:27:20,561 --> 00:27:22,039
I want
717
00:27:22,063 --> 00:27:24,180
other options.
718
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,119
What about a blockade?
719
00:27:30,938 --> 00:27:33,684
Declare an exclusion
zone around the island,
720
00:27:33,708 --> 00:27:36,019
block any attempt to breach it?
721
00:27:36,043 --> 00:27:38,389
Is that possible?
722
00:27:38,413 --> 00:27:40,491
Well, in theory.
723
00:27:40,515 --> 00:27:42,559
It worked for Kennedy.
Why the hell not?
724
00:27:42,583 --> 00:27:45,329
Because it would put
us on the defensive.
725
00:27:45,353 --> 00:27:47,431
And hands them the initiative.
726
00:27:47,455 --> 00:27:50,701
If it leads to a peaceful
resolution, they can have it.
727
00:27:50,725 --> 00:27:52,703
Admiral,
establish the quarantine line.
728
00:27:52,727 --> 00:27:53,937
Yes, ma'am.
729
00:27:53,961 --> 00:27:55,839
Susan, will you get
to the Chinese Embassy?
730
00:27:55,863 --> 00:27:58,041
I want this ultimatum
delivered in person.
731
00:27:58,065 --> 00:27:59,777
Absolutely, Madam President.
732
00:27:59,801 --> 00:28:01,745
RUSSELL: I'll let you know
733
00:28:01,769 --> 00:28:03,480
if we get a response from Beijing.
734
00:28:03,504 --> 00:28:04,648
The moment.
735
00:28:04,672 --> 00:28:06,450
Yeah. Meantime, it's a waiting game.
736
00:28:06,474 --> 00:28:08,318
Whoa!
737
00:28:08,342 --> 00:28:10,220
You have your AUMF.
738
00:28:10,244 --> 00:28:12,623
Congress just passed it
in emergency session.
739
00:28:12,647 --> 00:28:14,792
All right, well, let's
make some noise about it.
740
00:28:14,816 --> 00:28:17,428
Oh, I'll make sure it's
clanging in President Li's ear.
741
00:28:17,452 --> 00:28:19,069
Great.
742
00:28:21,088 --> 00:28:22,065
Well, hey.
743
00:28:22,089 --> 00:28:23,667
- Hey.
- What-what are you doing?
744
00:28:23,691 --> 00:28:25,469
Well, I thought we
needed some champagne.
745
00:28:25,493 --> 00:28:27,604
Oh. Yeah.
746
00:28:27,628 --> 00:28:30,140
Sure. You know, champagne.
747
00:28:30,164 --> 00:28:33,076
Just what you want when
you're about an inch away
748
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:34,978
from war with a nuclear adversary.
749
00:28:35,002 --> 00:28:36,547
- What? It's not...
- Of course,
750
00:28:36,571 --> 00:28:38,749
there's always the impeachment
I'm trying to stave off,
751
00:28:38,773 --> 00:28:41,385
which is probably a
foregone conclusion
752
00:28:41,409 --> 00:28:43,587
after I ditched my testimony.
753
00:28:43,611 --> 00:28:45,489
- Babe, uh...
- Oh, you're right.
754
00:28:45,513 --> 00:28:47,024
(WHISPERS): Just pop it.
755
00:28:47,048 --> 00:28:49,393
It's not just for us. Dmitri
756
00:28:49,417 --> 00:28:51,094
and Stevie are on their way up.
757
00:28:51,118 --> 00:28:53,430
I don't have time. I'm so tired!
758
00:28:53,454 --> 00:28:55,766
(GASPS)
759
00:28:55,790 --> 00:28:56,934
Oh, my gosh.
760
00:28:56,958 --> 00:28:58,869
Yes! What happened?
761
00:28:58,893 --> 00:29:01,605
Well, so, security protocols
forced them
762
00:29:01,629 --> 00:29:03,207
to cut their date short
763
00:29:03,231 --> 00:29:05,776
and, uh, skip
their Potomac cruise, but...
764
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,444
Oh, cruise-schmooze.
What happened at the dinner?
765
00:29:07,468 --> 00:29:10,180
Okay, all I know is their detail said
766
00:29:10,204 --> 00:29:12,483
that they finished dinner,
which means that...
767
00:29:12,507 --> 00:29:14,251
Our little girl!
768
00:29:14,275 --> 00:29:15,752
- Oh, here they are!
- The happy couple!
769
00:29:15,776 --> 00:29:17,221
There you are!
770
00:29:17,245 --> 00:29:18,622
- Oh, come on.
- Oh. Oh. Hey.
771
00:29:18,646 --> 00:29:19,823
- Hi.
- Hey.
772
00:29:19,847 --> 00:29:21,792
ELIZABETH: Ah.
- We did not have dessert.
773
00:29:21,816 --> 00:29:23,160
ELIZABETH: Oh.
774
00:29:23,184 --> 00:29:25,062
- That's... too bad.
- Yeah.
775
00:29:25,086 --> 00:29:26,888
Dessert is a cornerstone
of any meal, so...
776
00:29:26,912 --> 00:29:27,782
Yeah.
777
00:29:27,783 --> 00:29:30,467
Yes, and we had to come straight
here from the restaurant.
778
00:29:30,491 --> 00:29:32,970
Well, oh, we-we... we just thought
779
00:29:32,994 --> 00:29:35,105
that you'd want to have
some champagne with us.
780
00:29:35,129 --> 00:29:36,507
There's water for you.
781
00:29:36,531 --> 00:29:39,176
Yeah. While we still can.
782
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,477
Yeah. Yeah, right.
That's lovely of you.
783
00:29:40,501 --> 00:29:41,645
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
784
00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:43,280
- Thank you.
- Sure. Thanks, guys.
785
00:29:43,304 --> 00:29:46,316
Honey. Yeah, well, here's to...
786
00:29:46,340 --> 00:29:48,785
Nothing.
787
00:29:48,809 --> 00:29:50,454
(LAUGHTER)
788
00:29:50,478 --> 00:29:53,023
No. Stop.
789
00:29:53,047 --> 00:29:55,092
Sorry. This is silly.
790
00:29:55,116 --> 00:29:57,561
This was meant to be an occasion.
791
00:29:57,585 --> 00:29:59,129
A big occasion.
792
00:29:59,153 --> 00:30:00,564
Henry, you didn't tell...
793
00:30:00,588 --> 00:30:03,100
On my honor. Stevie doesn't
know anything about it.
794
00:30:03,124 --> 00:30:04,568
- STEVIE: Wait. He knows? You...
- What?
795
00:30:04,592 --> 00:30:06,136
- You told him?
- ELIZABETH: No.
796
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,538
We didn't say anything.
797
00:30:07,562 --> 00:30:08,872
- Never.
- I don't understand.
798
00:30:08,896 --> 00:30:10,107
Let's just... everybody go home,
799
00:30:10,131 --> 00:30:11,875
- because that's...
- Yeah. Uh, just...
800
00:30:11,899 --> 00:30:13,343
Let's just pretend
like it never happened.
801
00:30:13,367 --> 00:30:17,214
Wait. I was going to do this, um...
802
00:30:17,238 --> 00:30:19,049
I'm gonna do it.
803
00:30:19,073 --> 00:30:21,752
Dmitri... this is for you.
804
00:30:21,776 --> 00:30:23,854
Uh...
805
00:30:23,878 --> 00:30:26,490
It's the-the fortune inside.
806
00:30:26,514 --> 00:30:27,824
- If you read it. Just...
- Oh.
807
00:30:27,848 --> 00:30:29,566
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
808
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,499
Oh. Wow. This is...
809
00:30:35,523 --> 00:30:37,200
What does it say? "The early bird
810
00:30:37,224 --> 00:30:40,337
gets the worm, but the second
mouse gets the cheese."
811
00:30:40,361 --> 00:30:42,306
Wait. What?
812
00:30:42,330 --> 00:30:43,840
They mixed up the cookies.
813
00:30:43,864 --> 00:30:45,909
- It's very true, though.
- Oh.
814
00:30:45,933 --> 00:30:47,911
STEVIE: This was supposed to be
815
00:30:47,935 --> 00:30:50,080
a message from me.
816
00:30:50,104 --> 00:30:52,549
Um, a question, actually.
817
00:30:52,573 --> 00:30:54,351
I wanted to ask you to...
818
00:30:54,375 --> 00:30:56,753
Stop. Please. Let me.
819
00:30:56,777 --> 00:30:59,189
Here.
820
00:30:59,213 --> 00:31:00,557
In front of your parents,
821
00:31:00,581 --> 00:31:02,225
even though it was
supposed to be alone
822
00:31:02,249 --> 00:31:04,261
on a boat. (LAUGHS) But
823
00:31:04,285 --> 00:31:06,263
there might be a nuclear war,
and... Sorry, no offense,
824
00:31:06,287 --> 00:31:08,098
- Madam President.
- No problem. Go on.
825
00:31:08,122 --> 00:31:10,534
I don't know how to begin.
(LAUGHS) No. I do know
826
00:31:10,558 --> 00:31:12,936
how to begin with you,
Stevie, because you...
827
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,972
you are my beginning, and the start
828
00:31:14,996 --> 00:31:16,873
of everything that matters to me.
829
00:31:16,897 --> 00:31:19,409
My happiness and hope for the future.
830
00:31:19,433 --> 00:31:21,044
I've been broken many times,
831
00:31:21,068 --> 00:31:23,447
and it's hard for me
to feel whole, but
832
00:31:23,471 --> 00:31:25,382
there's one time I do feel whole.
833
00:31:25,406 --> 00:31:27,951
When you are with me.
And if you let me,
834
00:31:27,975 --> 00:31:31,088
I will dedicate my life
to making you feel whole, too.
835
00:31:31,112 --> 00:31:33,357
Because... because I love you more
836
00:31:33,381 --> 00:31:34,992
than I ever knew I could love.
837
00:31:35,016 --> 00:31:36,966
(LAUGHS)
838
00:31:37,852 --> 00:31:39,196
Stephanie McCord will you...
839
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:41,832
Madam President, we need... you.
840
00:31:41,856 --> 00:31:43,333
- Are you kidding me?
- I'm sor...
841
00:31:43,357 --> 00:31:45,469
Oh, my God. Is-is he actually...?
842
00:31:45,493 --> 00:31:48,739
Dmitri, as president,
I order you to finish
843
00:31:48,763 --> 00:31:50,273
- that sentence!
- Stevie, will you marry me?
844
00:31:50,297 --> 00:31:51,708
Yes, yes, for God's sake.
845
00:31:51,732 --> 00:31:53,010
- HENRY: Ah.
- (LAUGHTER)
846
00:31:53,034 --> 00:31:55,045
Yay. Welcome to the family.
847
00:31:55,069 --> 00:31:56,913
I have to go. I don't know
when I'm coming back.
848
00:31:56,937 --> 00:31:58,248
- Bye, Mom!
- Uh, just-just go.
849
00:31:58,272 --> 00:32:00,217
Ellen, what is it?
850
00:32:00,241 --> 00:32:02,753
It seems we have President Li's
answer to the blockade.
851
00:32:02,777 --> 00:32:04,187
Several high-speed
852
00:32:04,211 --> 00:32:06,623
Type 22 Chinese missile boats
have broken away
853
00:32:06,647 --> 00:32:08,759
from the convoy headed to Hainan Dao
854
00:32:08,783 --> 00:32:12,129
and now are projected
to reach the quarantine line
855
00:32:12,153 --> 00:32:14,504
in just four hours.
856
00:32:15,389 --> 00:32:17,768
Okay. Fire up Marine One.
857
00:32:17,792 --> 00:32:19,302
Where are you going?
858
00:32:19,326 --> 00:32:21,371
New York to see Minister Chen.
859
00:32:21,395 --> 00:32:22,472
Well, he wouldn't take your calls.
860
00:32:22,496 --> 00:32:23,807
Why do you think he'll meet with you?
861
00:32:23,831 --> 00:32:26,983
Because he knows where
this is heading if he doesn't.
862
00:32:38,346 --> 00:32:40,224
Excuse me, Minister Chen?
863
00:32:40,248 --> 00:32:42,399
Yes. What is it?
864
00:32:47,188 --> 00:32:49,133
- Ming, you got a minute?
- Ambushed
865
00:32:49,157 --> 00:32:51,035
by the American president.
866
00:32:51,059 --> 00:32:53,237
Definitely one for the memoir.
867
00:32:53,261 --> 00:32:56,207
I look forward to reading it one day.
868
00:32:56,231 --> 00:32:58,242
In a future where we manage
869
00:32:58,266 --> 00:33:01,112
to find a way out of this crisis.
870
00:33:01,136 --> 00:33:03,114
Your naval blockade isn't helping.
871
00:33:03,138 --> 00:33:05,483
China attacked us,
872
00:33:05,507 --> 00:33:08,319
murdering 24 U.S. sailors.
873
00:33:08,343 --> 00:33:10,354
Don't.
874
00:33:10,378 --> 00:33:12,529
(SIGHS)
875
00:33:14,482 --> 00:33:16,460
I mean, for the sake of the world,
876
00:33:16,484 --> 00:33:18,462
I hope you can help me understand
877
00:33:18,486 --> 00:33:20,798

Yes, I recall, Mr. Chairman.

Yes, there is. Isn't it true

960
00:36:50,865 --> 00:36:54,278

was entirely fabricated

00:40:27,482 --> 00:40:29,793
Something with the plumbing?
1057
00:40:29,817 --> 00:40:32,062
Nope.
1058
00:40:32,086 --> 00:40:33,230
Roar of the crowd.
1059
00:40:33,254 --> 00:40:34,398
What crowd?
1060
00:40:34,422 --> 00:40:35,499
Protestors.
1061
00:40:35,523 --> 00:40:37,134
Few million of 'em.
1062
00:40:37,158 --> 00:40:39,903
Oh, my God.
1063
00:40:39,927 --> 00:40:42,106
- They want me out?
- No.
1064
00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:43,547
They want you in.
1065
00:40:50,204 --> 00:40:53,550
Holy... moley.
1066
00:40:53,574 --> 00:40:56,754
It's happening all over
the country, all 50 states.
1067
00:40:56,778 --> 00:40:58,555
People are in the streets.
1068
00:40:58,579 --> 00:41:00,624
They say it's the biggest
public protest ever.
1069
00:41:00,648 --> 00:41:02,526
What happened?
1070
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:04,928
As far as they can tell,
it started with this
1071
00:41:04,952 --> 00:41:06,296
ten-year-old girl from Atlanta
1072
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,399
who convinced her mom
to drive through the night
1073
00:41:08,423 --> 00:41:11,201
so she could hold her sign
up by the gate down there.
1074
00:41:11,225 --> 00:41:15,078
What... what did it say?
1075
00:41:16,564 --> 00:41:18,842
"She's my president."
1076
00:41:18,866 --> 00:41:22,045
Cable news picked it up, social media.
1077
00:41:22,069 --> 00:41:24,681
That's what they're chanting.
1078
00:41:24,705 --> 00:41:26,984
CROWD (CHANTING): She's my president!
1079
00:41:27,008 --> 00:41:29,953
I mean, how...?
1080
00:41:29,977 --> 00:41:31,955
How do millions of people
1081
00:41:31,979 --> 00:41:34,291
spontaneously take to the streets?
1082
00:41:34,315 --> 00:41:35,959
I don't know.
1083
00:41:35,983 --> 00:41:38,562
You helped avoid World War III,
1084
00:41:38,586 --> 00:41:41,331
and all your opponents wanted to
do was throw you out of office.
1085
00:41:41,355 --> 00:41:45,002
Well, there-there's still the
vote in the Judiciary Committee.
1086
00:41:45,026 --> 00:41:47,204
No, it's over.
1087
00:41:47,228 --> 00:41:49,907
They called an emergency
session half an hour ago.
1088
00:41:49,931 --> 00:41:52,376
- The one day I sleep in...
- Well...
1089
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,178
- And? Well...
- And?
1090
00:41:54,202 --> 00:41:56,513
What do you think?
In the face of this,
1091
00:41:56,537 --> 00:41:58,682
the only vote
for impeachment was Canning's.
1092
00:41:58,706 --> 00:42:00,584
So that's it? It's over?
1093
00:42:00,608 --> 00:42:02,152
It's over.
1094
00:42:02,176 --> 00:42:05,322
The impeachment inquiry
is officially over.
1095
00:42:05,346 --> 00:42:06,990
Come on.
1096
00:42:07,014 --> 00:42:09,193
CROWD (CHANTING): She's my president!
1097
00:42:09,217 --> 00:42:11,862
She's my president!
1098
00:42:11,886 --> 00:42:13,864
She's my president!
1099
00:42:13,888 --> 00:42:16,333
She's my president!
1100
00:42:16,357 --> 00:42:18,535
She's my president!
1101
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:20,337
She's my president!
1102
00:42:20,361 --> 00:42:22,873
She's my president!
1103
00:42:22,897 --> 00:42:24,908
She's my president!
1104
00:42:24,932 --> 00:42:28,979
- She's my president!
- She's my president!
1105
00:42:29,003 --> 00:42:31,181
She's my president!
1106
00:42:31,205 --> 00:42:33,383
She's my president!
1107
00:42:33,407 --> 00:42:35,143
She's my president!
1108
00:42:35,341 --> 00:42:41,341
