1
00:00:10,429 --> 00:00:12,560
MAN:
Good game, Mr. Vice President!
2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,820
Hello. Good to see you.
3
00:00:14,830 --> 00:00:17,100
Gentlemen, I'm glad we could
provide a perfect day for golf.
4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,530
The least we could do
5
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:20,559
given that you're stuck
with the understudy.
6
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:21,769
(scattered chuckling)
7
00:00:21,769 --> 00:00:23,440
The president is
very sorry to miss out
8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,670
on the Pacific Rim
Economic Forum, but
9
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:28,530
he and Prime Minister Welton
shared a close friendship.
10
00:00:28,539 --> 00:00:31,500
Of course, he had to be on hand
for the state funeral,
11
00:00:31,510 --> 00:00:33,310
and is just flying home today.
12
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:36,439
Our hearts go out to our
Australian brothers and sisters
13
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:37,450
on this solemn occasion.
14
00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:39,450
The good news for all of you is
15
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,549
that the Trans-Pacific
Trade Partnership has been high
16
00:00:41,549 --> 00:00:43,509
on my agenda
since I was a young senator.
17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,219
The bad news for all of you...
18
00:00:46,219 --> 00:00:48,149
I'm a much better golfer
than the president.
19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,159
(laughter)
20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,729
Minister Chen, I believe
we're in the first group?
21
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:55,570
WOMAN: Good luck today,
Mr. Vice President.
22
00:00:55,570 --> 00:00:57,390
We're assuming
23
00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:59,570
this is why Australia
did not send a delegate
24
00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:01,520
to the conference this year?
25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,469
They are a country in
mourning rather than protest.
26
00:01:03,469 --> 00:01:05,290
Absolutely.
27
00:01:05,290 --> 00:01:07,109
Because we are well aware
that several members
28
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:09,609
of the Asia-Pacific Nations
are not entirely comfortable
29
00:01:09,609 --> 00:01:11,609
with the inclusion of China
at this forum this year.
30
00:01:11,609 --> 00:01:13,609
On the contrary, Minister Chen.
31
00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:15,510
We need China
in this discussion,
32
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:18,439
given that much of the framework
is about counterfeit issues.
33
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:21,849
We, uh... we want
to see some progress there.
34
00:01:21,849 --> 00:01:24,409
It's a little warm today,
isn't it?
35
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:26,819
It's quite pleasant.
36
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:28,819
It's warm to me.
37
00:01:28,829 --> 00:01:31,390
And I usually run cool.
38
00:01:31,390 --> 00:01:33,590
Are we speaking in metaphors?
39
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:35,829
(sighs)
What?
40
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:37,829
If that is the case,
Mr. Vice President,
41
00:01:37,829 --> 00:01:39,629
then let me remind you
42
00:01:39,629 --> 00:01:41,629
that a fish rots from the head.
43
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,799
Please don't say that.
44
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:46,729
I thought you had this idiom, the
fish rots from the head. Please.
45
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:48,840
Just as the top part
of the fish rots...
46
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,640
(retching)
(people gasping)
47
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,900
(groans)
I'm so sorry.
48
00:01:51,909 --> 00:01:53,180
We need a medic on the green...
49
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:55,509
There's something wrong.

Madam Secretary?
66
00:02:34,509 --> 00:02:36,110
I'm so sorry.
67
00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:37,710
I was hoping this is
the part where I wake up.
68
00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:39,610
It's a first draft,
and you know, it'll...
69
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:41,370
it'll sound a lot
better when you do it.
70
00:02:41,379 --> 00:02:43,139
Mm. Of course, you'll have some
of the staff backing you up.
71
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:45,199
DAISY:
I know it's cheesy,
72
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,250
but the Pacific Rim
Economic Forum is important,
73
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:48,780
and the delegates love
the talent show aspect.
74
00:02:48,789 --> 00:02:50,189
MATT:
The hosting country
75
00:02:50,189 --> 00:02:51,689
always performs.
76
00:02:51,689 --> 00:02:53,729
Look, it would be
bad form to skip it.
77
00:02:53,729 --> 00:02:55,430
And it really comes
down to the Cambodians.
78
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:57,599
They're the swing vote on
the Trans-Pacific agreement.
79
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,219
And they are huge fans
of Billy Joel.
80
00:03:00,229 --> 00:03:03,229
Oh, well, that's good.
That's... Here's the thing.
81
00:03:03,229 --> 00:03:04,830
Yeah.
I don't sing.
82
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:06,430
I mean, a little
bit in the shower,
83
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,560
you know, like, ♪ La, la ♪
here and there. Uh-uh.
84
00:03:07,569 --> 00:03:08,870
Do you guys sing?
85
00:03:09,569 --> 00:03:11,509
Mm, well.
Yeah, I do.
86
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:15,610
College. A capella.
87
00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:18,180
It's a résumé builder.
88
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:21,250
Madam Secretary,
the whole thing is ludicrous,
89
00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:23,620
but it has a lot more
diplomatic importance
90
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:25,469
than you might think.
91
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:26,639
(sighs)
92
00:03:26,650 --> 00:03:28,750
Just tell me that I have time
93
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:31,180
in my schedule to work on this.
94
00:03:31,189 --> 00:03:32,349
Uh, no, ma'am.
95
00:03:32,349 --> 00:03:35,349
But I'm certain that
Daisy has a plan.
96
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,629
Uh, look, I'm sure
you're better than you think.
97
00:03:38,629 --> 00:03:41,259
(door opens)
That's your plan?
98
00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:43,400
Well, she's right. I mean,
99
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,430
if you can speak, you can sing.
100
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:47,530
Unless you're tone deaf
or something.
101
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:50,060
(door closes)
I'm sure you're not.
102
00:03:50,069 --> 00:03:51,400
That's like two percent
of the population.
103
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,079
Excuse me, ma'am.
104
00:03:53,090 --> 00:03:54,770
The vice president has
been taken to the hospital
105
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:56,870
following an incident
on the golf course
106
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:58,629
with the Pan-Asian
delegation.
107
00:03:58,639 --> 00:03:59,939
Flu-like symptoms.
108
00:03:59,939 --> 00:04:01,639
He'll be undergoing tests.
109
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:04,770
His condition is stable,
and they'll keep us informed.
110
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:07,780
(sighs)
111
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:09,740
Flu-like symptoms.
112
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:12,250
Sounds contagious.
113
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:13,680
Madam Secretary,
you're going to be great.
114
00:04:13,689 --> 00:04:16,889
HENRY: E.M. Forster said,
"If I had to choose
115
00:04:16,889 --> 00:04:18,930
"between betraying
my friend or my country,
116
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:21,290
"I hope I would have the courage
117
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:22,949
to betray my country."
118
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,490
Anybody want to expand on that?
119
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:31,800
It demonstrates his distrust
of larger institutions.
120
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,659
As an outsider.
How an outsider?
121
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:35,629
Gay in England
at the turn of the century?
122
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:37,375
Okay, so you're suggesting
123
00:04:37,375 --> 00:04:40,639
that his outsider status
gave him a unique perspective
124
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:43,740
on nationalism,
but does this statement
125
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:44,980
make him unpatriotic?
Yes.
126
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:47,250
Why?
The point
127
00:04:47,250 --> 00:04:48,649
of serving your country is,
128
00:04:48,649 --> 00:04:50,620
you put the greater good
ahead of the individual.
129
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:53,470
Okay, Ivan.
130
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:56,319
Okay, but what about fighting
for your buddy in the foxhole?
131
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,579
I feel like that might be more
of an American concept.
132
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,120
Well, I-I disagree.
133
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,649
All of those soldiers
fighting shoeless
134
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,399
and without weapons
on the Russian front
135
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:04,589
in World War II
136
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,670
were not serving
the common good.
137
00:05:06,670 --> 00:05:08,170
They were being forced
138
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:09,699
into the battle, and they did it...
(phone buzzing)
139
00:05:09,699 --> 00:05:12,439
to keep themselves and their
families from going to prison.
140
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:13,970
IVAN:
That's an oversimplification,
141
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:17,540
and you can't reduce
Russian patriotism to that.
142
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:20,439
It took real idealism
to defeat Hitler.
143
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,800
And the Russian Army
almost accomplished that
144
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:25,670
single-handedly.
145
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,050
(loud, overlapping chatter)
146
00:05:29,050 --> 00:05:32,449
All right. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
147
00:05:32,449 --> 00:05:34,649
(whistles)
Reign it in. Reign it in.
148
00:05:34,649 --> 00:05:37,680
Uh, who won World War II is
an entirely different class,
149
00:05:37,689 --> 00:05:39,459
and I don't teach it, thank God.
150
00:05:39,459 --> 00:05:41,495
Uh, so let's talk for a minute
151
00:05:41,495 --> 00:05:45,319
about the ethical role of the
individual in a commonwealth.
152
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,430
Sorry to call you in
on such short notice.
153
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:56,040
We like to give more
of a heads-up as a rule.
154
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,709
I'm Jane Fellows. I'll be
your you main contact at DIA.
155
00:05:58,709 --> 00:06:02,079
This is Cooper Ralston,
Perry Thomas.
156
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:03,610
Hi.
How are you?
157
00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:05,670
Hello.
Have a seat.
158
00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:10,920
This is one of our safe houses.
159
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,750
It's smarter for you not
to come to the office.
160
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:15,649
Uh, you look a little thrown.
161
00:06:15,649 --> 00:06:16,850
I was told
General Sarno briefed you
162
00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:18,660
on how this would work
once you joined
163
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:19,790
the faculty at the War College.
164
00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:21,389
I was informed
165
00:06:21,389 --> 00:06:23,850
there'd be some overlap
with DIA, but that's it.
166
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:25,860
Occupational hazard, being
stingy with information.
167
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:28,459
I'm sorry about that.
168
00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:30,560
Uh, getting right to the point,
169
00:06:30,569 --> 00:06:32,834
we have an eye on
one of your students.
170
00:06:32,836 --> 00:06:34,659
Ivan Kolashkov.
Do you know him?
171
00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:37,409
Yes, of course. He's in
my Military Ethics class.
172
00:06:37,409 --> 00:06:39,569
He's training to serve
under General Doroshevich,
173
00:06:39,569 --> 00:06:41,870
one of the highest-ranking
members of the Russian military,
174
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:43,810
and a close advisor
to President Ostrov.
175
00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:45,980
I believe that
all the Russian students
176
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:48,480
in my classes are
under his direction.
177
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,889
Yes. But we like Ivan.
178
00:06:53,019 --> 00:06:55,519
He seems pretty steadfast
in his nationalism.
179
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:56,790
Good.
180
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:59,560
Observe and assess him.
We need a basic
181
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,029
psychological profile,
character analysis.
182
00:07:02,029 --> 00:07:03,819
What are you looking for?
183
00:07:03,829 --> 00:07:06,930
To see whether or not he
can be an asset for us.
184
00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:10,000
We feel we could redirect
all that fiery patriotism.
185
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,699
Do you want
to let me in on the idea?
186
00:07:16,699 --> 00:07:18,029
He's a closet homosexual.
187
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,910
Russian Military takes
a dim view of it.
188
00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:22,480
Mean the end of his career,
possible prison time.
189
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,839
What do you need me for?
190
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:26,040
There are other criteria
to consider.
191
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Uh, you're familiar
192
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:29,819
with the checklist of
intelligence modalities?
193
00:07:29,819 --> 00:07:34,610
Inter and intra personal skills,
situational awareness, so on?
194
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:39,060
So, you want me to tee him up
so you can blackmail him?
195
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:42,459
All while
teaching Military Ethics.
196
00:07:43,689 --> 00:07:45,990
(sighs)
197
00:07:47,889 --> 00:07:51,790
National security
is a vast network,
198
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,430
and it's all part of the
same fabric, Dr. McCord,
199
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,930
but... you know that.
200
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:59,430
It's a corrupt government which
forces him into the shadows.
201
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,139
Let's start there, or maybe
202
00:08:01,139 --> 00:08:03,540
you're squeamish because
you're still new at this
203
00:08:03,540 --> 00:08:05,540
and thinking about the person,
and not the politics.
204
00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:08,899
But Russia continues to be
our next real nuclear threat,
205
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:11,670
and he's a very ambitious
officer in their army.
206
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,050
No matter how cuddly he
might seem in your classroom.
207
00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:17,949
Perry, is it?
208
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:21,990
I think it's best we don't talk.
209
00:08:24,889 --> 00:08:27,459
(sighs)
210
00:08:27,459 --> 00:08:29,894
Just get to know your student,
Dr. McCord.
211
00:08:29,896 --> 00:08:32,019
Tell us what you
think, that's all.
212
00:08:32,029 --> 00:08:34,830
MAN (on TV): The White
House released a statement
213
00:08:34,830 --> 00:08:36,490
saying that Delgado
is undergoing
214
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:37,899
emergency gallbladder surgery.
215
00:08:37,899 --> 00:08:39,434
The VP reportedly collapsed...
216
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:41,590
I didn't know gallbladder
could have an emergency.
217
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,659
Well, it can if it's inside
218
00:08:44,669 --> 00:08:47,000
the vice president
of the United States.
219
00:08:47,009 --> 00:08:49,174
Hey, one of you guys needs
to sign this paper
220
00:08:49,176 --> 00:08:51,100
proving that I showed it to you.
Good morning.
221
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:52,740
Morning.
Why?
222
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:54,600
Oh, 'cause I got a "C", and
they think I'm gonna hide it.
223
00:08:54,610 --> 00:08:55,840
They don't have the honor code
224
00:08:55,850 --> 00:08:57,649
in public school
like the Quakers did,
225
00:08:57,649 --> 00:08:59,649
so, they just assume you're a liar.
No.
226
00:08:59,649 --> 00:09:01,549
Why did you get
a "C" on your paper?
227
00:09:01,549 --> 00:09:03,450
Because he's an average student.
JASON: Wrong again.
228
00:09:03,450 --> 00:09:04,820
Does that ever get boring?
229
00:09:04,820 --> 00:09:06,149
Oh, Jace, this is civics.
230
00:09:06,149 --> 00:09:07,679
I thought you liked this class.
231
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:10,019
I do, which is why
I threw myself passionately
232
00:09:10,019 --> 00:09:11,080
into the assignment.
233
00:09:11,090 --> 00:09:12,919
Write about an American
234
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:14,720
who has a positive influence
on society.
235
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,519
I chose Erica James,
236
00:09:16,529 --> 00:09:18,799
The Washington Chronicle
journalist who's in prison
237
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,919
for not revealing her sources.
238
00:09:20,929 --> 00:09:21,899
Well, maybe your teacher
wasn't looking for,
239
00:09:21,899 --> 00:09:24,000
you know, a convicted criminal.
240
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,629
You mean like Rosa Parks?
241
00:09:25,629 --> 00:09:26,960
Nice.
242
00:09:26,970 --> 00:09:28,799
Mr. Crider said that being
243
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:31,000
in prison actually prevents
Erica James from contributing
244
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,799
to society in a positive way,
so, he, uh,
245
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:36,529
gave me a "C." Come on, Jace. I
mean, it's an admirable point,
246
00:09:36,539 --> 00:09:39,009
but you had to know you were
poking the bear. Okay.
247
00:09:39,009 --> 00:09:40,945
So, what, civil disobedience
isn't important?
248
00:09:40,946 --> 00:09:42,340
ELIZABETH:
Well, it is.
249
00:09:42,340 --> 00:09:43,740
And it will often get you
a "C" in your civics class.
250
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:44,909
HENRY:
Yeah.
251
00:09:44,909 --> 00:09:45,970
I have some good news.
252
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:47,919
School elections
were held yesterday,
253
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,990
and I was elected Peer Mediator.
254
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:52,480
Wow.
255
00:09:52,490 --> 00:09:53,889
That's cool.
256
00:09:53,889 --> 00:09:55,769
What... what is that?
257
00:09:55,769 --> 00:09:57,659
That's like... She gets to be the
keeper of the talking stick.
258
00:09:57,659 --> 00:09:59,559
Oh, like round-table
discussions?
259
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,029
Yeah, but with a stick
that tells you when to talk.
260
00:10:02,029 --> 00:10:04,830
It's part of a program at
school they call Life Skills,
261
00:10:04,830 --> 00:10:06,664
something you'll
never know about.
262
00:10:06,666 --> 00:10:08,919
So you're like a
student counselor.
263
00:10:08,929 --> 00:10:09,990
No, mediator.
264
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,500
Nora Trilling got
Peer Counselor.
265
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:12,700
Oh.
266
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:13,940
Well, that's great.
267
00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:16,190
Try to tone down the excitement.
268
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,960
ELIZABETH:
No, no, no, we are.
269
00:10:17,970 --> 00:10:19,730
We just... We didn't have
270
00:10:19,730 --> 00:10:21,480
those kind of things
at our school.
271
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,230
We had Sergeants-at-Arms,
which probably not very Quaker.
272
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Well, it's kind of a big deal,
and I'm happy about it.
273
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:28,669
That's all that matters.
274
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,980
Hey, you know,
before I get out of here,
275
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:31,750
just one quick question.
276
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,250
Um... (laughs)
277
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:35,690
I can sing, right?
278
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:39,990
I mean, a little.
279
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:42,960
Like, I'm not...
I'm not awful, right?
280
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Are you kidding me?
Those Beach Boys songs
281
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,059
you sing in the shower...
You kill it every time.
282
00:10:47,059 --> 00:10:48,960
I mean the good kind of kill,
not the...
283
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,190
Well, because there's this sort
of silly thing at work, but I...
284
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,100
Mom, you're tone deaf.
What?!
285
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,570
What?!
Yeah. S-Sorry.
286
00:10:56,570 --> 00:10:58,000
(alarm sounds, phone buzzes)
But that's like...
287
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,230
two percent of the population.
288
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,940
HENRY:
You sound great to me.
289
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:03,940
(sighs):
Oh.
290
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:05,769
I have to go.
291
00:11:05,769 --> 00:11:07,070
I love you.
292
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,210
ALISON:
Love you. Sorry.
293
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:09,809
Bye.
I love your singing.
294
00:11:09,809 --> 00:11:11,980
You know, Dad, it's
cruel to lie to her.
295
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,710
I heard that.
296
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:15,870
♪ ♪
297
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,039
ELIZABETH: Morning. I heard about
the vice president... is he okay?
298
00:11:18,049 --> 00:11:19,750
Yeah, as far as I know.
299
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:21,580
He's being prepped for surgery.
300
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:23,120
That's not what
you're here about.
301
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,750
What, then?
302
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,710
Air Force One is missing.
303
00:11:29,059 --> 00:11:31,629
What do you mean?
We lost all communication
304
00:11:31,629 --> 00:11:34,000
somewhere over the Pacific...
We can't find it.
305
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,965
When did we last make contact?
306
00:11:35,966 --> 00:11:38,860
Half an hour ago, then they
suddenly went offline.
307
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:42,070
They're out of radar range, so
we have no idea what happened.
308
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:44,899
Where are we?
309
00:11:44,899 --> 00:11:48,029
We're scrambling the F-15's out
of Hickam Field in Honolulu.
310
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:51,980
They're about two hours
out of making visual contact.
311
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:53,279
All communication's down.
312
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,809
What could knock all that out?
313
00:11:54,809 --> 00:11:55,970
Nothing, ma'am.
314
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:57,115
Obviously something.
315
00:11:57,115 --> 00:11:58,710
A cyber attack...
Hijackers who knew
316
00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:00,070
what they were doing.
All due respect,
317
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,980
the communications system
on Air Force One
318
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:03,340
is the most sophisticated
in the world.
319
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:05,350
It's got firewalls
in front of firewalls,
320
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:07,149
and every kind of
backup you can imagine.
321
00:12:07,149 --> 00:12:09,720
All of it is designed
so that this cannot happen.
322
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,779
And yet this has happened.
323
00:12:11,789 --> 00:12:13,950
Then the plane has crashed.
324
00:12:14,789 --> 00:12:16,149
There's no evidence of that.
325
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:17,120
(sighs)
326
00:12:17,129 --> 00:12:20,029
ELIZABETH:
How long can we expect
327
00:12:20,029 --> 00:12:22,000
to control intelligence
around this?
328
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I mean, there's dozens of
reporters on that plane
329
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,230
who've suddenly gone dark?
We've reached out
330
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,169
to their editors, told them
the Wi-Fi is temporarily down.
331
00:12:30,169 --> 00:12:33,330
They've agreed not to report it,
but I don't know for how long.
332
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:35,230
The Pentagon has taken us
to DEFCON 3.
333
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,870
And I think we should consider
334
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,090
the decapitation strike
scenario.
335
00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:41,309
Someone is trying to take down
the top tier of our government
336
00:12:41,309 --> 00:12:43,710
in one swoop.
It's being considered.
337
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:44,809
The president and
the vice president
338
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,120
suddenly out of commission
at the same time?
339
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,850
That's why
it's being considered!
340
00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:55,830
Sir, I think it's time to
discuss the line of succession.
341
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:58,200
Are we at worst-case scenario?
342
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:02,200
Whatever's going on,
343
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,200
we need an acting president.
344
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,710
Has anyone reached out
to the Speaker of the House yet?
345
00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:09,629
He's on Air Force One.
346
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:10,970
He and the prime minister
347
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:13,769
were college buddies,
so he went to the funeral.
348
00:13:13,769 --> 00:13:16,100
Was his itinerary
public knowledge?
349
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:18,379
There was no reason to hide it.

Okay,
351
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:22,115
let's convene the National
Security Council,
352
00:13:22,115 --> 00:13:23,710
get the Chief Justice down here.
353
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:26,240

357
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,389
Madam Secretary.
Yes, I...
358
00:13:41,389 --> 00:13:43,149
I actually took
359
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:45,220

law class at UVA.

Madam Secretary, excuse me.
364
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,940
I was hoping to come by
and bid my farewell today,
365
00:13:55,940 --> 00:13:58,240
so I'll just do that now.
Heck of a way
366
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,129
to spend my last day
as National Security Advisor.
367
00:14:00,139 --> 00:14:01,940
What do you mean?
You're resigning?
368
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:03,899
Yes. I gave my notice last week.
369
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:06,070
You must have heard.
I had no idea
370
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,409
that it was official.
Afraid so.
371
00:14:08,409 --> 00:14:10,210
My wife has some health issues.
372
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:12,120

and his staff are here.
376
00:14:18,155 --> 00:14:21,720
Well, it's been some time since
I found myself in this room.
377
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Senator Gates,
you are, uh, familiar
378
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:25,460
with the members of the
National Security Council?
379
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:27,220
Oh, yes, yes, of course.
380
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:29,465
Yes, yes, uh, very,
very unfortunate circumstances
381
00:14:29,466 --> 00:14:31,320
that we have to meet under.
382
00:14:31,330 --> 00:14:33,860
Uh, do we have any news?
383
00:14:33,870 --> 00:14:36,100
No. We are still
out of communication
384
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,129
with Air Force One,
but measures are being taken
385
00:14:38,139 --> 00:14:39,740
to upgrade the status.
386
00:14:39,740 --> 00:14:41,340
Oh, well, I guess
in the meantime, then,
387
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:43,809
we need an acting
president, mm-hmm.
388
00:14:43,809 --> 00:14:46,450
In accordance with
the Succession Act of 1947,
389
00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:48,269
that would be you, Senator.
390
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:52,419
Right, well, then, uh...
let's proceed, shall we?
391
00:14:52,419 --> 00:14:54,450
The Chief Justice
will administer the oath.
392
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:56,080
Uh, oh, here.
393
00:14:56,090 --> 00:14:58,720
It's a formality,
but you will also need
394
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,919
to resign your position
395
00:14:59,919 --> 00:15:00,980
in the senate.
396
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:02,120
(chuckles):
Uh, n... no way.
397
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,149
No, I never agreed
to that, mm-mm.
398
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:06,330
No, no, no,
it's-it's, uh, just protocol.
399
00:15:06,330 --> 00:15:07,929
You'll resume your seat
400
00:15:07,929 --> 00:15:09,929
once the president returns.
Mm.
401
00:15:09,929 --> 00:15:12,200
Oh, all right, right.
The president will come back.
402
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,470
(chuckles) I mean, he survived
one assassination attempt.
403
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:17,830
He's hard to kill. Hm.
404
00:15:17,830 --> 00:15:20,429
Wh... What do you mean, Senator?
405
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,340
What do you think I mean? Talking
about that Charles Manson lady.
406
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:25,379
Tried to shoot him.
407
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:29,210
Well, that was President Ford.
408
00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:31,179
Ah. Of course, you're right.
409
00:15:31,179 --> 00:15:32,909

413
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:46,320
Mm-hmm? I-I believe
it is also protocol...
414
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,220
you have to state the...
415
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:52,294
full name of the
current president.
416
00:15:52,296 --> 00:15:54,289

Of course. Sure.

Hmm? just for a moment
wh-while we prepare?
422
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,539

That's fine.

for president?

00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,130
Have a seat.
529
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,069
Give me a moment.
530
00:21:03,069 --> 00:21:05,000
Ma'am, can I get you anything?
531
00:21:05,009 --> 00:21:06,339
She's fine, thanks, Lucy.
532
00:21:06,339 --> 00:21:07,430
Really?
533
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,670
We don't have time for you
534
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,710
to get comfortable, Bess.
535
00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:11,750
Oh, there's no danger of that.
536
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:14,349
But I would love
a cup of coffee.
537
00:21:14,349 --> 00:21:16,250
Of course.
538
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:22,009
The jets are an hour away
539
00:21:22,019 --> 00:21:24,420
from being within radar
range of Air Force One.
540
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:26,650
We'll be able to determine if it's
on a prerecorded flight path.
541
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:30,029
If so, they'll try to get
close enough for a visual.
542
00:21:30,029 --> 00:21:33,099
Excuse me. Madam President's
former staff is here.
543
00:21:33,099 --> 00:21:34,630
We'll be with them shortly.
544
00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:37,430
And, Lucy, you don't have
to call her that.
545
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:38,660
LUCY:
Sorry, sir.
546
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:40,369
The protocol is confusing.
547
00:21:40,369 --> 00:21:43,740
Tell me about it.
Send Colonel Preston in, please.
548
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:46,200
(door closes)
549
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,029
If it's any consolation,
I'm not enjoying this.
550
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:51,140
In addition to everything else,
551
00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:53,670
one of my oldest
friends might be dead.
552
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,109
Why don't we get through it
with as little snark
553
00:21:56,109 --> 00:21:59,269
as possible.
Sorry, Bess. You're right.
554
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,279
HENRY: Hi, guys. May I join you?
Yes.
555
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:04,339
Thanks.
556
00:22:04,349 --> 00:22:06,380
I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
557
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:08,789
Ivan was just lecturing me
on the Ukraine,
558
00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:10,460
his favorite pastime.
559
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:13,460
I'm simply making the point
that the Russian involvement
560
00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:15,660
in the Ukraine,
if there were any,
561
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,349
is no different
562
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,160
than the U.S. involvement
in Afghanistan.
563
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,490
So the economic sanctions
implemented against us
564
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,230
is quite hypocritical.
565
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:25,660
No offense.
566
00:22:25,670 --> 00:22:27,509
HENRY: Nobody asked my
opinion about taking action
567
00:22:27,509 --> 00:22:29,829
in either one of those disputes.
The world
568
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:31,269
is a safer place
569
00:22:31,269 --> 00:22:32,700
if we stand united
against those splinter group
570
00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:34,079
who have more firepower
571
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:36,140
than philosophy.
572
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:37,539
Very poetic.
573
00:22:37,539 --> 00:22:41,539
Well, sorry to bore you
and rush off,
574
00:22:41,549 --> 00:22:44,849
but, uh,
Russia is playing Brazil.
575
00:22:44,849 --> 00:22:46,680
We will get creamed.
576
00:22:46,690 --> 00:22:47,849
(chuckles)
577
00:22:47,849 --> 00:22:49,410
But still.
578
00:22:49,420 --> 00:22:51,750
(chuckling):
Good luck.
579
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:54,759
You're not a soccer fan, Dmitri?
580
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:56,630
I prefer American football.
581
00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:59,210
Don't tell anyone.
582
00:22:59,210 --> 00:23:01,789
Ivan is pretty outspoken
about the situation in Ukraine.
583
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:03,869
Well, that and anything else.
584
00:23:03,869 --> 00:23:07,339
Uh, he was... he was raised
in politics. His family
585
00:23:07,339 --> 00:23:09,204
are high-ranking officials
in the Kremlin.
586
00:23:09,205 --> 00:23:11,670
Aren't you from a military family?
Oh, yes,
587
00:23:11,670 --> 00:23:14,329
but my father was just
an Army field sergeant.
588
00:23:14,339 --> 00:23:16,240
He died in the Chechen conflict.
589
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,440
Then there was
my Georgian grandfather.
590
00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:20,150
Were you close with him?
591
00:23:21,250 --> 00:23:23,319
I found his stories amusing.
592
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,454
This is the Football.
It's a remote device
593
00:23:30,455 --> 00:23:33,519
that can authorize a nuclear
attack in the unlikely event
594
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,849
that we are required to do that.
595
00:23:36,859 --> 00:23:39,799
This is the Biscuit.
It's an authenticator card
596
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:41,329
containing
all the launching codes.
597
00:23:41,329 --> 00:23:42,859
That stays with you.
598
00:23:42,859 --> 00:23:44,660
The Football stays
with the colonel,
599
00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:46,519
who is never far away.
600
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,799
Thank you, Colonel.
601
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,660
I hope we never work together.
602
00:23:52,670 --> 00:23:55,670
My hope as well, ma'am.
603
00:23:58,339 --> 00:23:59,700
(door opens)
604
00:23:59,710 --> 00:24:01,380
Until further notice,
605
00:24:01,380 --> 00:24:03,779
everything that's happening
here is classified. Of course.
606
00:24:03,779 --> 00:24:07,450
When order is restored, we'll...
figure out how to report it.
607
00:24:07,450 --> 00:24:09,920
In the meantime, we have to
be able to trust your staff.
608
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,250
Well, I don't have
any concerns there.
609
00:24:12,250 --> 00:24:13,750
Well, give them as
little as possible.
610
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:16,750
No mention
of a decapitation strike.
611
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,559
As far as we're concerned, it's
a perfect storm of bad luck.
612
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:22,900
And when equilibrium is restored
613
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:24,900
and I have my old job back,
614
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:26,730
I'll give you my list
of candidates
615
00:24:26,730 --> 00:24:28,930
for National Security Advisor.
616
00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:31,559
You neglected to tell me
Darren is resigning.
617
00:24:31,569 --> 00:24:33,900
Ah, sorry.
618
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:35,599
His wife has...
619
00:24:35,609 --> 00:24:37,269
health issues.
620
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:39,569
So he said.
621
00:24:41,509 --> 00:24:43,809
Is there some...
622
00:24:43,809 --> 00:24:46,339
reason why I was kept out
of the loop?
623
00:24:47,309 --> 00:24:49,509
We were hoping
to change his mind.
624
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:52,390
This really can wait. I-I should
get back to the Sit Room.
625
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:54,460
Of course.
626
00:24:55,549 --> 00:24:57,549
It goes without saying,
627
00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:00,329
but you are just warming
that chair.
628
00:25:00,329 --> 00:25:02,230
Absolutely.
629
00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:04,900
Call if you need anything.
630
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,900
Can you send them in?
631
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:09,400
My staff.
632
00:25:10,369 --> 00:25:12,240
Sure.
633
00:25:23,339 --> 00:25:25,339
Would you like
this closed, ma'am?
634
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:27,220
Uh, yes, please.
635
00:25:30,849 --> 00:25:33,890
You better sit down.
636
00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:40,849
(birds chirping)
637
00:25:40,859 --> 00:25:42,930
(ducks quacking)
638
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:47,730
Excuse me, Dr. McCord.
639
00:25:48,930 --> 00:25:50,859
Is my wife okay?
640
00:25:50,869 --> 00:25:52,799
The secretary's fine, but you
need to come with us, sir.
641
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:55,299
This way.
642
00:25:55,299 --> 00:25:58,430
I'll get started on
your statement, Madam President.
643
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,539
No statements.
We're going with
644
00:25:59,539 --> 00:26:00,970
no comment, Madam President?
645
00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:02,400
Please stop saying
"Madam President."
646
00:26:02,410 --> 00:26:04,579
I can't.
Please try.
647
00:26:04,579 --> 00:26:07,579
Now, the only thing that
we are on record about
648
00:26:07,579 --> 00:26:10,450
is that the Wi-Fi is
down on Air Force One.
649
00:26:10,450 --> 00:26:12,585
I mean, obviously we
are in communication
650
00:26:12,586 --> 00:26:13,740
with the president.
651
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:16,349
DAISY: So lie?
Yes, lie.
652
00:26:16,349 --> 00:26:18,400
In the interest
of national security.
653
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,450
You can imagine how the stock market
alone would react to the news,
654
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:22,460
"We've misplaced the president."
655
00:26:22,460 --> 00:26:24,700
Um, should I inform
the deputy secretary,
656
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:27,460
Madam President?
657
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:29,460
I had to say it once.
658
00:26:29,470 --> 00:26:33,470
(sighs)
Yes, but just...
659
00:26:33,470 --> 00:26:35,470
say I was called
to the White House.
660
00:26:35,470 --> 00:26:37,700
Okay, are we assuming something
catastrophic has happened?
661
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:39,309
I mean, is the president dead?
662
00:26:39,309 --> 00:26:40,339
Are we under attack?
663
00:26:40,339 --> 00:26:41,529
We're not assuming anything.
664
00:26:41,539 --> 00:26:43,970
Don't speculate.
665
00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:46,509
We'll know better
in a couple of hours.
666
00:26:46,509 --> 00:26:50,470
Is there anything
in my actual office that needs
667
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,609
my immediate attention?
Uh, Madam...
668
00:26:52,619 --> 00:26:54,690
Acting President?
669
00:26:55,650 --> 00:26:57,710
That's fine.
670
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,720
I'm sorry to bring this up,
671
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,450
but there is one pressing event
672
00:27:02,460 --> 00:27:03,789
on your calendar today.
(sighs)
673
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:06,690
The P.R.E.F. talent show.
So we will have to
674
00:27:06,690 --> 00:27:09,420
provide a plausible
explanation for canceling.
675
00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:11,029
No, we can't cancel.
676
00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:12,490
We can't change anything.
677
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,569
We have to keep her
agenda exactly the same
678
00:27:14,569 --> 00:27:16,369
if we want to
avoid global panic.
679
00:27:16,369 --> 00:27:17,869
He's right.
Okay.
680
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:19,869
But in the interest
of full disclosure,
681
00:27:19,869 --> 00:27:24,299
I did some research, and
apparently I'm the two percent.
682
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:25,710
JAY:
Considering our situation,
683
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:27,410
ma'am, there's no way
684
00:27:27,410 --> 00:27:29,710
that your singing could be worse
than your not singing.
685
00:27:29,710 --> 00:27:32,509
I think it'll be a photo finish.
686
00:27:32,509 --> 00:27:34,509
But I'm willing
to take the bullet.
687
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:35,990
We need this trade agreement
to go through.
688
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:37,579
Okay,
if you guys really want to help,
689
00:27:37,589 --> 00:27:39,450
then you will focus on this
690
00:27:39,450 --> 00:27:42,049
and make it really
good. In the interest
691
00:27:42,059 --> 00:27:46,490
of national security, you
won't let me humiliate myself.
692
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:49,549
That's all.
Thank you.
693
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,630
Your family's here.
694
00:27:55,630 --> 00:27:57,490
We're taking them
to the Emergency Ops Center
695
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:58,890
in the basement
of the East Wing.
696
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:00,430
It's protocol until we know
697
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,470
what's happening
with the president.
698
00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:02,470
Can I see them?
699
00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:03,829
Yeah. Make it fast.
700
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,009
There's something, uh,
you need to know first.
701
00:28:07,009 --> 00:28:08,710
And it's awkward.
702
00:28:14,579 --> 00:28:16,509
(sighs)
703
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:19,390
Mmm.
704
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:21,390
You doing okay?
705
00:28:21,390 --> 00:28:22,519
I have no idea.
706
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:24,519
Any update?
Not yet.
707
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:26,079
Listen, did they tell you
about Stevie?
708
00:28:26,089 --> 00:28:28,089
Yeah, she's here
with Alison and Jason.
709
00:28:28,089 --> 00:28:30,519
When they found her,
she was with Harrison.
710
00:28:30,529 --> 00:28:32,400
In a hotel room.
711
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,799
(sighs)
What are they thinking?
712
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,869
They're not. They're young.
That's not an excuse.
713
00:28:35,869 --> 00:28:38,369
I know. But it's gonna have
to be today.
714
00:28:38,369 --> 00:28:39,839
Right. Yeah, you're right.
715
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:41,670
We got to be cool with her.
We can't...
716
00:28:41,670 --> 00:28:43,539
wander
into a big family argument.
717
00:28:43,539 --> 00:28:46,039
Exactly. But...
718
00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:47,880
You think I can't be cool?
719
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,880
With the other kids, absolutely.
720
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,410
You're Lou Reed.
721
00:28:52,410 --> 00:28:54,440
But when it comes to Stevie...
722
00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:55,450
What?
723
00:28:55,450 --> 00:28:56,579
She pushes your buttons.
724
00:28:56,579 --> 00:28:59,740
I don't have buttons.
Elizabeth.
725
00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:01,609
Fine.
Maybe she won't bring it up.
726
00:29:01,619 --> 00:29:02,759
But if she does...
727
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,609
Lou Reed.
I need you.
728
00:29:04,619 --> 00:29:07,420
Right. Think Velvet Underground.
729
00:29:07,420 --> 00:29:09,680
Of c... Obviously.
I got this.
730
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:11,420
Let's go.
731
00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:13,960
(sighs) Our jets are five minutes
away from Air Force One.
732
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Radar has confirmed
that the plane is on course,
733
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,160
but there's still no word
from anyone inside.
734
00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:21,700
Working theory is that
the cabin has depressurized.
735
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:24,559
Everyone on board could be dead.
It could be a ghost flight.
736
00:29:24,569 --> 00:29:27,640
Autopilot will keep it going
until it runs out of fuel.
737
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,579
Yeah, and becomes a bomb
somewhere over the mainland.
738
00:29:29,579 --> 00:29:32,500
In that scenario,
we need to handle it
739
00:29:32,509 --> 00:29:34,549
while it's over water.
740
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:36,549
Your first act as president
741
00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:39,789
might be
to shoot down Air Force One.
742
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,000
(indistinct chatter)
(door opens)
743
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:55,599
Ah, ah, ah. JACKSON:
What have we got?
744
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:58,000
The jets are approaching.
745
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,599
They've made visual contact.
746
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:01,470
PILOT: I've got movement
inside the cockpit.
747
00:30:01,470 --> 00:30:02,869
Definitely somebody alive
in there.
748
00:30:02,869 --> 00:30:05,740
Is that Colonel Romano?
Affirmative, sir.
749
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,480
He's communicating
through Morse code.
750
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,910
Communication... down.
751
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:15,609
Navigation okay.
752
00:30:15,609 --> 00:30:19,569
A-S-A-F.
753
00:30:19,579 --> 00:30:20,710
A-S-A-F.
754
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,650
All souls accounted for.
755
00:30:22,650 --> 00:30:23,940
JACKSON: How do we
know he doesn't have
756
00:30:23,950 --> 00:30:25,079
a gun to his head?
757
00:30:25,089 --> 00:30:27,559
That last sentence is code, sir.
758
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,630
He wouldn't have used it
if he had been in distress.
759
00:30:29,630 --> 00:30:31,619
We're clear.
760
00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:34,759
Ma'am, I'd like to recommend
landing at Hickam Field.
761
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,759
The F-15s can escort them. Good.
762
00:30:37,759 --> 00:30:41,029
I want
a completely secure hangar.
763
00:30:41,029 --> 00:30:43,559
And then we're gonna take
that plane apart,
764
00:30:43,569 --> 00:30:46,769
piece by piece, until we've
found out whatever caused this.
765
00:30:46,769 --> 00:30:47,730
Yes, ma'am.
766
00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:49,470
Thank you.
Bess,
767
00:30:49,470 --> 00:30:50,930
your tenure holds
until we're back
768
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:52,869
in direct communication
with the president.
769
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,210
Understood.
770
00:30:54,210 --> 00:30:57,720
Nobody's breathing easy
until that plane touches down.
771
00:30:58,779 --> 00:31:00,849
ALISON:
Can't you give us any idea?
772
00:31:01,819 --> 00:31:04,680
They just said
security concerns.
773
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,210
Well, if it were nuclear,
we'd all be dead by now.
774
00:31:07,220 --> 00:31:09,789
It's probably just another 9/11.
775
00:31:09,789 --> 00:31:12,160
Oh, no.
776
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,890
I-I didn't mean "just"...
777
00:31:13,890 --> 00:31:15,690
Then don't say it, idiot.
778
00:31:15,690 --> 00:31:17,150
I think we're okay, Noodle.
(chuckles)
779
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,759
By the way, he does know.
He just can't tell us.
780
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,799
Hey, can I talk to
you for a second?
781
00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:27,059
Sure.
782
00:31:32,670 --> 00:31:35,700
Okay, I know that they told you
where they found me today.
783
00:31:35,710 --> 00:31:37,839
Honey, it's your life.
784
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,240
You're an adult.
785
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:41,815
We can't interfere with
who you decide to date.
786
00:31:41,816 --> 00:31:43,809
Believe me,
I learned my lesson there.
787
00:31:43,819 --> 00:31:46,619
So... don't worry about it,
okay?
788
00:31:46,619 --> 00:31:49,619
(chuckles)
We got enough going on today.
789
00:31:49,619 --> 00:31:51,880
I'm really glad
that you feel that way.
790
00:31:51,890 --> 00:31:53,890
Um, I really need
your help, actually.
791
00:31:56,730 --> 00:31:59,529
I have heroin in my pocket.
792
00:31:59,529 --> 00:32:01,079
You have what?
793
00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:02,630
It fell out of the lining
of Harrison's jacket.
794
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:04,630
And he swears
that it was just an old stash
795
00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:06,809
that he had forgotten about.
796
00:32:06,819 --> 00:32:09,009
And we were arguing about it
when the Secret Service came in.
797
00:32:09,009 --> 00:32:11,130
I panicked.
I didn't know what to do.
798
00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:12,940
I slipped it in my pocket.
Now we're here.
799
00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:15,009
I didn't have time to flush it...
Are you out of your mind?
800
00:32:15,009 --> 00:32:17,809
In all the world, you choose
801
00:32:17,809 --> 00:32:19,809
an addict and not
just any addict,
802
00:32:19,809 --> 00:32:22,009
the son of your mother's boss,
803
00:32:22,009 --> 00:32:24,910
who happens to be the President
of the United States. Dad...
804
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,849
This is the only guy for you?
805
00:32:28,849 --> 00:32:31,049
You are gonna have
to face the fact
806
00:32:31,059 --> 00:32:32,859
that something is compelling you
807
00:32:32,859 --> 00:32:35,289
to make the world's most
irresponsible decisions.
808
00:32:35,289 --> 00:32:38,019
It is wrong for you to date
someone this early in recovery.
809
00:32:38,029 --> 00:32:40,299
It's gonna hurt him,
and it's gonna hurt you.
810
00:32:40,299 --> 00:32:43,970
Can't you just get out of
your own way for a change?
811
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:46,039
Get out of your mother's way.
812
00:32:51,299 --> 00:32:55,029
Peer Mediator's looking
pretty good now, huh?
813
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,349
Unemployment figures
are coming out tomorrow,
814
00:32:58,349 --> 00:33:01,869
so I kept the president's
morning pretty light.
815
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,150
How are the projections?
816
00:33:03,150 --> 00:33:05,349
Good, but I never trust them.
817
00:33:05,349 --> 00:33:06,849
I'm almost finished
818
00:33:06,849 --> 00:33:08,890
with the roster
of Air Force One.
819
00:33:08,890 --> 00:33:11,759
Are we contacting the families
once they've touched down?
820
00:33:11,759 --> 00:33:13,779
Uh, I can handle that.
821
00:33:13,789 --> 00:33:15,089
One other question.
822
00:33:15,089 --> 00:33:18,990
Why is Craig Sterling on board?
823
00:33:18,990 --> 00:33:21,750
He was meeting
with the president.
824
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,890
Do you know him?
825
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:26,900
He was at the defense department
826
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:29,039
when I was at the CIA.
Yeah, you could say that
827
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:31,009
our paths crossed.
What do you make of him?
828
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:34,670
Nakedly ambitious,
self-serving obstructionist,
829
00:33:34,670 --> 00:33:36,829
all suit and no substance.
830
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:38,900
But other than that, I'm a fan.
831
00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:41,309
I know he's on the short list
832
00:33:41,309 --> 00:33:43,140
for national security advisor.
833
00:33:43,150 --> 00:33:46,650
Not anymore.
834
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:48,849
He's accepted the position.
835
00:33:48,849 --> 00:33:51,309
When?
836
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:52,849
Yesterday.
837
00:33:52,849 --> 00:33:56,150
I can't believe Conrad
would make that appointment
838
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,859
without consulting
839
00:33:57,859 --> 00:33:59,700
with me.
That's his prerogative.
840
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,690
What's going on?
841
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:03,799
Is this some kind of
reelection strategy?
842
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:05,869
That's not the kind of decision
843
00:34:05,869 --> 00:34:08,635
you shut the secretary of state out of.
Don't be paranoid.
844
00:34:08,635 --> 00:34:10,960
The NSA is practically
my counterpart
845
00:34:10,969 --> 00:34:12,405
on matters of foreign policy.
846
00:34:12,405 --> 00:34:14,730
He can't just
force that decision on me.
847
00:34:14,739 --> 00:34:16,269
The President
of the United States
848
00:34:16,269 --> 00:34:18,070
can do whatever
the hell he wants.
849
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,110
(sighs)
850
00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:25,199
(laughs softly)
851
00:34:25,210 --> 00:34:27,269
You know what?
You're absolutely right.
852
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,880
You can go now.
853
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,980
Excuse me?
854
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:36,719
Go. Now.
855
00:34:53,769 --> 00:34:55,409
The pardon attorney
says everything is in order
856
00:34:55,409 --> 00:34:58,300
and that the president needs to
sign in just these two places.
857
00:34:58,309 --> 00:35:00,010
And the papers don't
have to be processed?
858
00:35:00,010 --> 00:35:01,340
No, ma'am.
859
00:35:01,340 --> 00:35:03,130
He says the minute the
signature is confirmed,
860
00:35:03,139 --> 00:35:04,440
it's a simple phone call.
861
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,900
Erica James
will be released from prison.
862
00:35:06,909 --> 00:35:09,210
And the order cannot be revoked?
863
00:35:09,210 --> 00:35:11,909
No, ma'am. It's an official
presidential pardon.
864
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,219
Your journalist
will be home for dinner.
865
00:35:13,219 --> 00:35:14,719
Great.
866
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,860
For what it's worth,
I applaud this action, ma'am.
867
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:19,949
Thank you, Lucy.
868
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,690
Well, it's reassuring to
know you don't knock on
869
00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:24,889
the president's door, either.
He's touched down.
870
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:26,420
Everyone is okay.
Thank God.
871
00:35:26,429 --> 00:35:28,099
I'll take care of this now,
Madam President.
872
00:35:28,099 --> 00:35:29,400
Madam Secretary.
873
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,800
Yes, sir.
874
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,139
The, uh, initial sweep
of the plane
875
00:35:34,139 --> 00:35:35,829
didn't turn up anything.
876
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,170
NASA's reporting solar flares
877
00:35:38,170 --> 00:35:40,340
over that area.
It's our best guess right now.
878
00:35:40,340 --> 00:35:42,380
Thought that was impossible
on Air Force One.
879
00:35:42,380 --> 00:35:43,869
98%, which
880
00:35:43,869 --> 00:35:45,929
makes it more like
highly improbable.
881
00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:48,739
Well, any idea
882
00:35:48,739 --> 00:35:50,900
on how we're gonna
report on all this?
883
00:35:50,909 --> 00:35:53,010
Working on a strategy now.
So, uh...
884
00:35:53,010 --> 00:35:56,739
what business was that?
With Lucy.
885
00:35:56,750 --> 00:35:58,039
Oh, don't worry about it.
886
00:35:58,050 --> 00:36:01,050
The president can do
whatever the hell she wants.
887
00:36:01,059 --> 00:36:03,789
But you're not...
888
00:36:03,789 --> 00:36:05,019
But I was.
889
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:09,190
HENRY:
I don't think Ivan is your guy.
890
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:10,960
Why not?
891
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,159
There's something...
892
00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:14,119
unstable in all that
893
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,190
passionate rhetoric.
894
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:16,900
He's not a complex thinker.
895
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:19,800
I feel like his opinions are
a mile wide and an inch deep.
896
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,260
Our team's been
vetting him for a while now,
897
00:36:22,269 --> 00:36:24,000
and they feel differently.
898
00:36:24,010 --> 00:36:26,039
I have someone better for you.
899
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:29,369
Dmitri Petrov.
900
00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:32,179
It's been my observation
that he has a better capacity
901
00:36:32,179 --> 00:36:34,119
for abstract thought,
a more analytical mind.
902
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:36,170
He's quieter, more guarded,
903
00:36:36,179 --> 00:36:37,739
which means he's probably
904
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:39,019
more discreet and disciplined.
905
00:36:39,019 --> 00:36:40,489
But what's his weakness?
906
00:36:40,489 --> 00:36:42,119
How can we get to him?
907
00:36:43,449 --> 00:36:45,449
His father died in Chechnya.
908
00:36:45,460 --> 00:36:47,889
I sense some inner
conflict around that.
909
00:36:47,889 --> 00:36:50,130
And his grandfather
was Georgian.
910
00:36:50,130 --> 00:36:53,360
So there's a foundation
of counter-nationalism
911
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,389
in his background I think
we could cultivate.
912
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,130
It's a better way to go than
just blackmailing someone
913
00:36:58,130 --> 00:36:59,829
because of their sexuality.
914
00:36:59,829 --> 00:37:03,030
And I know you guys like to
exploit people's secrets, but
915
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:06,369
I think it's an unreliable,
916
00:37:06,369 --> 00:37:09,000
not to mention
heinous, approach.
917
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,369
You asked.
918
00:37:12,380 --> 00:37:14,010
That's my analysis.
919
00:37:14,010 --> 00:37:15,980
Mm.
920
00:37:15,980 --> 00:37:17,849
Then I want you to bring him in.
921
00:37:17,849 --> 00:37:18,949
You mean recruit him?
922
00:37:18,949 --> 00:37:20,449
And be his handler.
923
00:37:20,449 --> 00:37:23,920
What? No, wait... No. I-I
have no experience with that.
924
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,389
I wouldn't have
signed up for it.
925
00:37:25,389 --> 00:37:27,119
Henry, we need this.
926
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,179
We believe
you're the guy to do it.
927
00:37:32,059 --> 00:37:34,130
(indistinct conversations)
928
00:37:36,130 --> 00:37:37,869
The president's arrived.
929
00:37:42,329 --> 00:37:43,829
Elizabeth.
930
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:45,829
It's nice to have you back,
Mr. President.
931
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,809
I wanted to thank you
for minding the store.
932
00:37:47,809 --> 00:37:49,860
My pleasure. Well...
933
00:37:49,869 --> 00:37:52,000
not really that, so much.
934
00:37:52,010 --> 00:37:55,039
I'm thrilled
to relinquish the post.
935
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:57,000
I saw your presidential pardon.
936
00:37:57,010 --> 00:37:59,110
I saw your national
security advisor appointment.
937
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:01,869
All right.
I'll give you that.
938
00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:05,989
Erica James really did
need to be released.
939
00:38:05,989 --> 00:38:08,255
Craig Sterling really is
the right man for the job.
940
00:38:08,255 --> 00:38:10,980
Mm. I'm sorry I couldn't let
you in on the discussion,
941
00:38:10,989 --> 00:38:13,989
but... I know you two
have history
942
00:38:13,989 --> 00:38:15,489
and I couldn't get bogged down.
943
00:38:15,489 --> 00:38:17,889
With the secretary
of state's opinion?
944
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,099
I needed to make a move.
945
00:38:21,099 --> 00:38:24,099
Then I will do my best
to work with him.
946
00:38:24,099 --> 00:38:25,829
Wanted to let you know that, uh,
947
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,340
we released
a statement to the press.
948
00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:29,909
We admitted to the
communications failure
949
00:38:29,909 --> 00:38:31,469
and the world knows
950
00:38:31,469 --> 00:38:33,530
that you were on the desk
for a few hours.
951
00:38:33,539 --> 00:38:35,900
Ah.
As usual,
952
00:38:35,909 --> 00:38:38,539
your approval rating
is higher than mine.
953
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,309
Well...
954
00:38:40,309 --> 00:38:42,039
we have a long road ahead of us.
955
00:38:42,050 --> 00:38:43,349
I could tank at any time.
956
00:38:43,349 --> 00:38:46,119
Like in about five minutes.
957
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:48,159
Break a leg.
958
00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:51,389
(exhales heavily)
959
00:38:51,389 --> 00:38:53,090
(inhales deeply)
960
00:38:53,090 --> 00:38:54,579
So, you're...
961
00:38:54,590 --> 00:38:56,050
kind of a funny color.
962
00:38:56,059 --> 00:38:57,559
Are you okay?
I haven't fainted
963
00:38:57,559 --> 00:38:59,449
in the longest time.
What does it feel like?
964
00:38:59,460 --> 00:39:02,460
Let's find you
some private space.
965
00:39:04,369 --> 00:39:06,429
Madam Secretary, could...
966
00:39:06,429 --> 00:39:08,130
Oh, this doesn't look good.
967
00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:10,190
Madam Secretary, you okay?
968
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:17,079
Yup, I am.
I am okay.
969
00:39:18,210 --> 00:39:20,150
Just need to take a look
at those lyrics.
970
00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:22,369
Let's do this.
971
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:24,909
How much time do I have?
972
00:39:24,909 --> 00:39:26,170
NADINE:
Ten minutes.
973
00:39:26,179 --> 00:39:27,539
Or as long as you need.
974
00:39:27,550 --> 00:39:30,150
Mm. Okay. Okay.
975
00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:32,039
(humming a tune hoarsely)
976
00:39:32,050 --> 00:39:34,110
(humming, grunting)
977
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:35,869
I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't.
978
00:39:35,869 --> 00:39:37,619
BLAKE: Okay, all right, here we go.
NADINE: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
979
00:39:37,619 --> 00:39:39,349
Okay, it's all right,
it's all right.
980
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,989
We have a contingency plan.
981
00:39:41,989 --> 00:39:44,190
What is it?
982
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:45,929

All right, so...
(door opens)
1025
00:41:47,530 --> 00:41:49,170
ELIZABETH: Good night, you guys.
Oh, look,
1026
00:41:49,170 --> 00:41:51,289
oh, there she is.
ALISON: Aah!
1027
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:53,170
Oh, my God, you were president?
1028
00:41:53,170 --> 00:41:55,099
How could you not tell us?
1029
00:41:55,099 --> 00:41:56,530
Slipped my mind.
1030
00:41:56,539 --> 00:41:57,570
Seriously, what was that like?
1031
00:41:57,570 --> 00:41:58,940
It was exhausting.
1032
00:41:58,940 --> 00:42:00,309
Well, forget that.
What was the song like?
1033
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:02,179
I'll tell you about it later.
How did it go with...
1034
00:42:02,179 --> 00:42:04,329
Great.
Okay, good.
1035
00:42:04,340 --> 00:42:06,300
Listen, I'm exhausted.
I'm going to bed.
1036
00:42:06,309 --> 00:42:08,380
Jace, tell your teacher you're
getting an "A." ALISON: Good night.
1037
00:42:08,380 --> 00:42:11,210
Erica James is coming home.
(phone beeps)
1038
00:42:13,780 --> 00:42:15,170
No.
1039
00:42:18,179 --> 00:42:19,780
Yes.
1040
00:42:22,250 --> 00:42:23,550
Sorry.
1041
00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:25,360
I know you've had a rough day.
1042
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,289
Well, we all have.
1043
00:42:27,289 --> 00:42:30,320
But you need to be up to speed
on the situation.
1044
00:42:30,329 --> 00:42:32,730
We got the test results back
on the vice president.
1045
00:42:32,730 --> 00:42:34,260
No foul play.
1046
00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:35,489
He's fine.
1047
00:42:37,170 --> 00:42:39,739
That can't be why
you called me in.
1048
00:42:41,769 --> 00:42:43,369
Come in.
1049
00:42:43,369 --> 00:42:45,670
Elizabeth, you know
Craig Sterling.
1050
00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:47,599
Madam Secretary.
It's been a few years.
1051
00:42:47,610 --> 00:42:50,179
Congratulations
on your appointment.
1052
00:42:50,179 --> 00:42:53,440
Pretty sure I wasn't
first on your list.
1053
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,269
Why don't you
1054
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,210
tell Elizabeth
1055
00:42:57,210 --> 00:42:59,139
what we know so far
about Air Force One.
1056
00:42:59,150 --> 00:43:02,119
The system malfunction
wasn't a solar flare.
1057
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:04,619
