All language subtitles for The Governor s01e09 To Catch a Monkey.eng

[Thompson chuckling] Ah! Friday.

-Thanks for coming.
-Good morning, Chief.

I know. The dietitian my wife hired
insists I take raw vegetables.

Ah, yeah, I suppose if it's healthy...

[smacks lips]

If akara was good for our elders...

it's good enough for us.

-Join me.
-Oh, no, thanks, Chief.

I've had breakfast.

-You sounded urgent.
-Oh, yes, yes, yes.

I was thinking about our conversation
the other day.

I think we are going about it all wrong.

What do you mean?

Ochello knows you are antagonistic
to her tenure...

so she's on her guard
every time around you.

-Chief, I have only done what--
-Calm down.

Calm down. I'm not blaming you.

I'm just sharing an observation, eh?

If you want to catch a monkey,

you have to become a monkey.

So, what do you propose?

I have on good information that
the government loan she applied for

has been granted.

I only just heard about that this morning.

You, my dear commissioner,
are undergoing a change of heart.

From now on,

we are the enemies,
and you, the peacemaker.

[scoffs] I don't think
she will fall for that.

[chuckles]

If only you spent your time
studying people instead of fighting them,

you would know differently.

The governor thinks the best of people.
That is her weakness.

And we will exploit it!

The only problem is, Friday...

are you willing to swallow your pride?

[theme music playing]

It's your 17th birthday, Toju.

Hmm?

I don't want headlines
in the press announcing:

"Governor's Son Declares Surplus
at Lavish Birthday Party."

Okay, got it. Small-scale.

Just one or two friends.
Close friends, Toju.

And family.

And remember to call Iffy on campus.

Ah, let's leave that.

She wouldn't want to come anyways.

Or maybe you don't want her
keeping an eye on your business, right?

-[chuckles]
-It's just a small get-together, Mom.

No smoking and no drinking.

Fine! Iffy can come.

But, as for you guys...

We're not invited?

It would be so uncool, Dad.
I'd never live it down. No.

Now I'm officially offended.

-Me, I'm still cool.
-Yeah, right.

[scoffs] I'm the governor.
The governor is always cool.

Yeah, and I've still got it going on.

Dad, who says that?
That saying is like from, what, the '70s?

-[Angela chuckles]
-Do we need further proof you're ancient?

-[exclaims]
-[laughs] Hmm.

[beat boxing]

♪ I feel good ♪

[vocalizing]

♪ Ooh, I knew that-- ♪

[David and Angela laugh]

Toju, thank you for being so understanding
about the party.

-You can have a massive 21st.
-Oh, it's gonna be massive.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

[imitates James Brown]

[laughing]

[knocking]

-Henry!
-Good morning, ma'am.

-Good morning. Coffee?
-Yes, please.

-Please, sit down. Sit down.
-Thank you.

[knocking]

Listen, sir, I told you
that your deposit has expired.

All right? We require payment!

If you don't--

[sighs]

Actually, sir--

At your service, sir.
Anything you want, sir.

-I'll let you know.
-All right.

Thank you, sir.

Money talks.

You've obviously heard about the approval

of our government loan
by the federation account.

Yes! So I can finally start fulfilling
some promises around here.

Yes, Kalu and the teachers
will be very happy.

Yes, to have them get behind our vision
for education in the state,

now that was worth fighting for.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say,
"Education is a right, not a privilege,"

and then stick out their neck
to fund the promise.

Now we just have to make sure that
Friday buys into our projects.

Yes, but I don't think we need
his permission.

Hmm, that's true.
But he is the commissioner of finance.

Whose loyalties are to a select few.

Your Excellency, please,
don't expect Friday's support.

Still, draw up a priority list of projects
that need urgent funding.

-I already have the list.
-Oh, good.

And speak to Friday in the first instance.

-Keep him in the loop.
-Ma'am?

I just don't want him to feel
like he's being sidestepped.

Yes, ma'am.

Afterwards, arrange a meeting
for just the three of us.

-Yes, Your Excellency.
-And Henry...

you and Friday, no fisticuffs.

[sighs] Yes, ma'am.

I'm really sorry, gentlemen,
but it has to be here

or at our official residence.

David doesn't like
all this pomp and pageantry.

See, it's always a palaver
every time I move around.

And local bars are such nightmares.

-[Osita] Hmm.
-[Marc chuckles]

The burden of being a first gentleman.

What does that even mean?
Huh? "First gentleman"?

[scoffs]

Hey, Dave, more to the point, um...

have you looked into the proposal
I sent you earlier?

Yeah. Yeah, I've had a look at it.

I told you. David's a bit funny
about these things.

[Marc] Hey, David...

we've come a long way, from way back,

and I'm kind of like
the new boy in town here, you know?

You spent too long in Denmark.

But it's not like I'm asking for
any special favors here.

Yeah, I understand.

Perhaps you could have
a quiet word with Angela about it.

All we're asking is an introduction,
and we'll do the rest.

We're professionals.

We know the market
and we're competitive, too.

And Marc isn't an unknown quantity.

Marc, it's not as if I don't want to help.

But Angela is sensitive
about those things, you know.

Why?

She's surrounded by hyenas...

who are waiting to just tear her down
because she has principles.

-Principles are good.
-Yeah.

And I don't want her to compromise
her principles on my account.

But it's not like we're asking or saying,
"Just give us the money."

Yeah, so send in your tender
and let your bid speak for itself.

Oh, come on, Dave. You know how difficult
it is to be awarded a government contract,

except if you have someone on the inside
scratching backs.

No! Angela is trying
to run a transparent government,

so no backdoor deals.

Oh, don't be so naive, Dave.

Government is run
by the same backdoor deals

that you claim do not exist.

Hey, if you don't want
to do this, it's fine.

Marc, sit down.

Calm down. I will have a discreet word
with Angela. Okay?

It's all I ask, Dave.

But no promises.

Thanks, man.

To a more unrelated matter, Dave,

um... who is Connie?

I really want to know.

-Osita.
-Dave, Dave...

-What tales have you been telling? Huh?
-[Marc] Dave, Dave...

-Dave, Dave.
-[laughing] Huh?

Thank you, thank you. It's great news.

Um, Commissioner Bello
drew up an impressive financial plan,

which was a major part of the proposal.

Thank you, thank you.

But to be fair,
Her Excellency inspired it,

you know, with her foresight,
imagination and leadership.

-[Otilo chuckles] Yes.
-Thank you, Commissioner.

To ensure the funds are put to best use,

I have asked the chief of staff
and the finance commissioner,

to draw up an allocations brief.

If your ministries require
special consideration,

over and above
your normal budgetary concerns,

please let it be known
through your permanent secretaries

so that an addendum
may be included in the brief. Okay.

Yeah! This is good!

[laughs] Thanks, man! Yes!
I'll see you soon.

[laughs]

Deputy Governor Jalo, I understand
there is a three-day trade fair

taking place in Lagos
the day after tomorrow.

Commissioner Otilo sent me the details
this afternoon, Your Excellency.

Yes, I got the memo.

Ah, Deputy Governor, sir,
I do apologize for the delay.

It happens.

That's very gracious of you,
Your Excellency.

Your Excellency, the delegation
from trade and industry

are prepped and ready to go.

Commissioner, I have asked
the deputy governor

to lead the delegates
into Lagos, and not you.

Your Excellency?

I need you at your desk.

I also cut down the number of delegates
from 25 to 10.

With all due respect, Your Excellency,
we need to make our presence felt.

Some of the other states have delegations
of between 40 and 60.

Well, that's probably because
they can afford it.

But seeing as your ministry
has done very little

to build up trade and industry
in the state over the last two years,

I suggest charity begins at home
and not in Lagos, Mr. Commissioner.

I need you at your desk,
not gallivanting around the country.

Do I make myself clear?

Do I make myself clear?

Crystal clear, ma'am.

-Henry.
-Yes, ma'am?

Do we not have a fully-staffed liaison
office with guest house attached in Lagos?

We certainly do, ma'am.
And it can accommodate 30 people.

Then why in your memo did you state
that you and your delegates

would be residing
at the opulent Oriental Hotel in Lagos?

It was something we thought, ah...

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I remind you for the last time

that it is not business as usual
under my watch.

I will need to see clear evidence

that you are running your ministries
with prudence and accountability.

Anything less than that is incompetence,

and I will replace you
without a moment's hesitation.

Now, if there's nothing else,
we are adjourned.

-[Henry] Your Excellency.
-Henry.

I had a meeting with Friday Bello
before the ExCo. We have a problem.

You've got to be kidding me.

I've tried to explain this
to the commissioner.

Come on, Henry. You've been in this game
long enough to know how it's played.

But it's an own goal, and you know it.

Gentlemen, please, can we get back
to the business at hand?

Your Excellency, I don't have
any personal stake in this matter.

I know it may not look like it,
but I'm trying to protect your interests.

By asking me to sign away
one-third of the government loan

to the House of Assembly members?

I'm only a messenger.

Besides, I'm trying to make you understand
what the party expects of you.

Friday, you know what the loan is for.

You helped us to draft the document
that we used to obtain it.

And now they want one-third?

They not only want it, ma'am,

the party hierarchy demands it.

And the party hierarchy do not want to
meet face to face to discuss the matter.

Surely if they knew what was on ground--

It is not the done thing, ma'am.

They expect you to know
on whose side you are batting.

[sighs] It's not right.

There's so much we have to do.
Teachers need to be paid.

Part of the money is
to be invested in agriculture.

I'm sorry. I can't do it.

I won't.

And I agree with you, Your Excellency.

-What?
-I agree.

It's high time the party chieftains
realize that it is not business as usual.

That money belongs
to the people of Savannah.

Then why make the suggestion
in the first place?

I wasn't making a suggestion.
I was only delivering a message.

Besides, Her Excellency needs to know
all the cards on the table,

not the hand that you reveal to her.

So, what happens now?

I'll simply present the party
with the facts, as it is,

but I'll be diplomatic
so as not to cause offense.

And how exactly do you intend
on accomplishing that?

That is for me to know
and for you to find out.

And do you think they'll be okay with it?

Well, they might not agree,

but with the right rationalization,
it will pass.

And besides, your reputation
for honesty and prudence precedes you.

Your Excellency, please don't tell me
you're buying any of this.

With due respect,
you must trust that this decision

has been taken with all due respect.

I will, ma'am, of course.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Your Excellency.

Your Excellency, I wouldn't trust Friday
as far as I could throw him.

Friday's a party poster boy.

If he wants to be relevant on that level,
let him handle damage limitations,

and we can focus on the job at hand.

So, what, Friday's all of a sudden
on your side?

Friday is on Friday's side.

But he knows those guys.
He knows how they think.

And let's exploit that.

By the way, why is
the deputy governor going to Lagos

instead of Commissioner Otilo?

-Just giving him something to do.
-Hmm.

I understand the poor thing goes
to the office Monday to Friday

and watches DVDs all day.

-He needs to be kept occupied.
-Yes, ma'am.

Remember, we're meeting with Kalu
and the commissioner for education later.

-Yes, I remember.
-Okay.

Gentlemen, she gave me
a distinct message to you.

And what did she say?

Her exact words were:

"Hell will freeze over

before the party chiefs can touch
one naira from the loan."

That woman does not have respect.

Who the hell does she think she is?

Well, what do you expect from someone

who regards you as a toothless lion,
all roar and no bite?

Sobifa, what are we waiting for?

Jalo, which way will Ahmed swing?

Ahmed is my son.
He will do what he's told.

She has to go.

On that we agree.

The only question is how.

We have only one shot at this.

What do you mean?

She is popular

and increasingly seen
as tough and incorruptible.

In fact, Savannah indigents love her

because she is seen as
the first female governor in the country.

We need justifiable and legitimate reasons

to get rid of her.

It has to be clean.

-She can be impeached.
-Yes, but on what grounds?

[laughs]

Since when do we need proper grounds
in this country to impeach a governor?

In this case, we do.

The case against her must be airtight,

because it will generate
both local and national attention.

And we can't afford
to come across as the bad guys.

Gentlemen...

I have a meeting with Ahmed shortly.
I will sound him out.

Ah, not yet. Not until we have
a fairly sound plan in place.

All right.

Gentlemen, see you later.

I don't trust Jalo.
He has been acting so strange

ever since his son became deputy governor.

Ahmed is no pushover. His father
may find it difficult to control him.

Be that as it may, we still have to know!

Because he really might be
a clog in our plans.

Yes, I know.
That is the risk we have to take.

Jalo has great influence in the party.

We have to be very careful.

Well, uh, so what do we do now?

I mean, how do we build a case
against her?

Oh, I was just waiting
for the good doctor to leave us.

I think I can produce
some fairly legitimate grounds

for an impeachment.

But this is what I've been saying.

There are certain jobs that are vocations:

teaching, the police, military.

Some would argue politics.

[all laughing]

Okay, it pains me
that you all find that funny.

Public service of any kind
is a vocation, Your Excellency.

And some see it is a vacation,
with perks and benefits.

And we must do our best
to change that image.

Victor, seriously though,

education is crucial
to the success of this state.

I want all those who work in that sector

to regain that sense
of mission, of vocation.

It's a laudable vision, ma'am.

But your predecessors haven't gotten used
to such long-term projects.

I agree that for it to work long-term,
a cross-party agreement must be in place

so that no matter who comes into power,

legislature protects the initiative.

Your Excellency,
it's what the people want.

-It is what they need.
-Absolutely.

And a good education
will help shape the minds

of the future leaders of thought
in this nation.

And that is why our work
with Commissioner Sheri Jacobs

and the Youth in Politics initiative
is so important.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yes, I hear good things
about that project.

Thank you so much, Commissioner Victor.
The difficulty has been trying to overcome

the cynicism and apathy
among young people.

They're either too hungry
to be bothered to engage

or too privileged to care.

-And we must change that, people.
-Absolutely.

We have a shot at it. We should take it.

Because if we do not take it,
we'll regret it.

Mr. Asemota,
the governor will see you now.

Thank you.

-Hi.
-Good afternoon, Mr. Duke.

Mr. Asemota.

Thank you.

Ballpark?

A hundred million the first year.

That's mostly for infrastructure
and equipment.

Fifty million in the second year.

And we hope to break even
by the third year.

Hmm...

-And your partners are based in...
-Dubai and Israel.

Good. Well, we'll take a look at it
and we'll get back to you.

Is there a problem?

Oh, no. [chuckles]

No problem at all.

Ah...

Honestly, I was hoping we would continue
with, you know, our catch-up.

Oh! Yes. Sorry, it's been
a very busy morning.

Ah, yes. Shall we say
the Lakeview later, 7:00?

Sounds good.

-I'll see you there.
-I'll see you there.

Ah... thank you. Thank you.

[indistinct video game chatter]

Yes! Uh-uh. Ah!

Yes!

It was a fluke, man.

Hey, do the decent thing
and accept defeat like a man.

Never doubt my skills again.

Never, ever.

I need to eat. My energy is low.

Like you need an excuse to eat.

[phone chimes]

Oh, man.

What? She canceled again?

This is the third time in two weeks now.

Like, I don't get it.

I thought things were tight
between you two.

That's what I thought.

Maybe she enjoys the attention
she's pulling

from the governor's son.

Okay, I didn't know this was a competition
and I was the prize.

You're so naive, man.
You're the governor's son.

Maybe it's the pressure of exams.

It's not long now. Everyone has got
universities on their minds.

You're right.

Her message said that
she had to finish an assignment

and that she would see me tomorrow.

You see? It's all good.

Well, dude,
I'm going to grab another chicken.

And then it's another round
of pain for you, my friend.

Now that my energy is up,

I'll beat you so hard,
your security would cry for you.

[Toju] You wish!

-It's adopting a home from the humans.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and then I think
it might live in it.

-I told you Rihanna featured in it, right?
-Oh, yeah. That's true.

Yeah. Yeah, she did.

What happened?

Do you know her?

[stammering] Yeah, yeah...
She did very well with it.

Are you okay?

-Yeah, I'm fine.
-Are you sure?

Dude, don't worry.
I'll be gentle on you this time.

I'll be gentle on you.

I'll show you the true meaning of pain.

-Want chicken?
-Mm-hmm.

-It's fake.
-Are you sure?

[Hassan] Yes, sir.

The guy is a sophisticated 419 con artist.

What about the contacts
in Dubai and Israel?

[chuckles] He reroutes his calls
through a VOIP.

You're telling me he makes his calls
through the Internet?

He receives his calls,
then he tries to disguise his voice.

[both laugh]

This guy is an idiot.

Yes, sir.

[helicopter whirring]

How is Toju? Okay.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Is everything all right?

Yes, yes. Everything is fine.

You know, I was starting to think
you were avoiding me.

-Why would I do that?
-I don't know.

Maybe I stirred up some things.

Talk to me about your project.

No, that's not important.
Let's talk about you.

I want to meet
your business partners tomorrow.

And don't worry,
I'll make all the necessary arrangements.

Why? [chuckles weakly]

What's the rush?

We've agreed. We like the project
and we want to implement it, fast.

Oh! [chuckles]

That's great.

But, um, I also have power
to operate on their behalf.

Hmm, that's good, Paul.

But it's government
and it's government funds,

so I want to meet your partners.

Okay.

My ADC will need the details to make
the emergency travel arrangements.

I don't know whether
to feel flattered or insulted.

What do you mean?

[cutlery clatters]

-You had me followed?
-You're not that important.

Routine security checks.

You said you were a journalist, right?

I-- I just needed a way in.

-I needed a handle.
-I get that.

But a 100-million-naira paycheck?

Look, you put me on the spot.

I couldn't come back to you empty-handed.

It doesn't matter, Paul.

The irony is that, with a little work,

your project actually had some potential.

I'm not an opportunity
or a meal ticket, Paul.

-I didn't mean--
-Don't insult my intelligence.

Clearly you need money.

There's half a million naira
for old times' sake.

-Oh, Angela.
-It's "Your Excellency," Paul.

Don't ever let me see you again.

-Angela, Your Excellency--
-I mean it!

Enjoy your meal.

Hi, Angie.

-Hi.
-Hmm...

I thought you had a business meeting.

Yes. I did, but...

-it was disappointing.
-Hmm.

Do you want to talk about it?

No.

Paul?

He was the journalist?

Your business meeting?

So why are you upset?

I don't know.

I feel like something has died.

I wanted my mom to be wrong
so badly that I...

I ignored all the signals.

I've been such a fool.

Do you love him?

What?

Angela, do you love him?

No, David. No.

I love you. It's just...

I buried a significant part
of my life tonight, that's all.

But I love you.

I love you. Please.

[Angela laughs]
I see you worked up an appetite.

Oh, yeah. [grunts]

Have to keep my strength up.

[chuckles] Hmm?
Store up the carbs for cardio workouts.

-You're a shameless man.
-[laughs]

Well, you started it. Mm-hmm. Breakfast?

Yes. Yes, I think I'll have some.

-Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning, Patrick. How are you?

Very well, ma'am. Thank you.

-Patrick.
-[Patrick] Sir?

Madam will have some yam and eggs.
You can thank me later.

-[Angela chuckles]
-Thank you, Oga. Thank you.

Thank you, Patrick.

Connie tells me that the Youth in Politics
project is doing quite well.

Yes. It's great having
business and industry involvement.

And she's a very dynamic young lady.

Hmm, yeah.
I think it's a great initiative.

Maybe the federal government can adopt it
and make it a federal program.

-What's the matter?
-Nothing. It's just...

That loan from the government,

party leadership want a slice.

-What?
-I can't do it, David.

I'm sorry, I just can't do it.

-Have you told them?
-Friday Bello is running interference.

-Friday Bello, finance?
-Yes.

I'm surprised.

You should be careful.

You and Henry must be cut
from the same cloth.

This is politics, Angie.

And history is not kind to those
who don't learn lessons from it.

-Hmm...
-Ah?

There is a lot of money involved in it.

Lots of it.
Friday Bello is not your friend.

Thank you.

Thank you. That's okay.

I was with Osita and Marc the other day.

Oh, how's Marc settling in?

Ah, he has a few things on the boil.

-[chuckles]
-David...

you know Paul tried to scam me.

I gave him a chance
and he tried to scam me.

So, I'm sorry. No.

When are they coming over for dinner?

Um, soon. Soon, yeah.

-So, how are your eggs?
-Mm.

Almost as delicious as you,
but I've got to go.

See you later, lover.

Okay, so you and Joyce,
come over to the house by 7:00

and we'll all leave together.

Okay, all right. Later, friend.

-[Henry] Morning, Your Excellency.
-Morning, Henry.

Your Excellency.

Good morning, Friday.

Were you able to talk
to the party chiefs yet?

Yes, I was with them last night, ma'am.

How did they take the news?

Not well at first,
but they are pragmatic men.

The government loan was for some projects

that we had promised to deliver
to the people of this state.

If we fail to deliver, it might hurt
the party at the next elections.

And they were satisfied with that?

I wouldn't stay satisfied. More resigned.

The alternative could lead to a scandal.
Nobody wants that.

I have Chief Thompson on direct call,
if you want to verify it.

That won't be necessary.
Thank you, Friday.

My only advice, though, is that

when we are rolling out these initiatives,

we should make enough noise
about the party

as we would the state government.

That will make
the big boys of the party happy.

Hmm, yeah. Good idea. Henry?

Yes, everyone is a winner.

Good. That's great.

Right, now let us fund
some of these initiatives.

Yeah.

Now, this is the way I look at it.

If I'm going to take you out,
wine you, dine you, spend money on you,

and at the end of the evening,
you come up with that line

about us just being "friends,"

I'm going to have issues.

Not all dates have to end up
in bed, Hassan.

Neither should it end up with me begging
my bank manager for an overdraft

because my "friend" is bleeding me dry.

[laughs]

You just don't know how
to woo a lady, do you?

Oh, really? I've spent
my entire monthly salary on a woman,

and you say I don't know how
to woo a woman?

-You women are dangerous.
-[chuckles]

Gold diggers, all of you.

-One minute.
-Yeah.

Kayode?

Okay.

Let's meet at the same place, 1:00 p.m.

Don't worry. I'll bring it.

Who have you sighted?

The Speaker, House of Assembly
top officials, big party honchos.

-And the Big Three.
-Where?

Chief Thompson's house
seems to be ground zero.

But they've had
small, closed-door meetings

all day today at the National Assembly.

[Hassan] Have opposition members
had a look in?

No. And nobody is saying anything.

I'm the PA to the Speaker

and I've been kept
out of the loop on this play.

Chief Momoh-Alli?

He's in the dark.
That's why I brought this to you.

Yes, so, my clients are interested
in similar ideas, you know,

to the Kennedy school.

-Hmm.
-Yeah.

Or maybe the kind of thing
that Archbishop Tutu

-was doing in South Africa.
-Ah! Yes.

Yes, an exploratory forum
for young professionals.

Exactly.

You know, we are interested in initiatives

that can run independently,
no matter who's in power.

-That would be difficult.
-[phone chimes]

-Oh?
-Yeah.

Continuity is not particularly...

Sorry.

...a political watchword around here.

-Oh, okay.
-Yeah.

Huh.

[clears throat] Would you like a drink?

Um, no. Thank you.

What's the name of that perfume
you're wearing?

You like my perfume?

Oh, well, it smells nice.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, ah, I was thinking
of buying a present for Angela.

Hmm, okay.

Is that really what
you were thinking, Professor?

Mm-mm... Are we interrupting anything?

[Hassan]
If Chief Momoh-Alli is in the dark,

it means whatever they are planning,

they don't want the governor
to catch wind of it.

My thoughts exactly.

How high up does it go?

I know they put a call through
to the office of the national chairman.

Alhaji Kassim?

This is big. Trust me.

And it's imminent.

Keep your ears to the ground, Kayode.

[Osita] And what was the name
of that perfume again?

I'm not sure we got the name
of that perfume, bro.

-Are you sure it wasn't a love potion?
-[Marc laughs]

Man, you should have seen the look
on your face.

Mesmerized! Man, come on!

Women are powerful. Give them credit.

David, where are you going now?

Home.

-It's Toju's birthday.
-Why the rush?

So we won't have to talk about
your love interest?

She is not my love interest.

And I would appreciate it if you
would refrain from talking like that.

We were only joking. And you know it.

What's going on?

Look, I'm sorry, man.

It's been a tough day for me as well.

[sighs] David, I don't know
if this is a bad time for this,

but did you manage to speak
to the governor

about the proposal I sent you?

Oh, yeah! Yeah.

Yeah, I mentioned it. Ah...

She didn't like the idea.

So I dropped it, you know. I didn't want
to prejudice her against your bid.

So... I just left it alone, you know.

-Yeah.
-Thanks for trying anyway.

Say, don't worry. I'll mention it again

when the time is right, huh?

-Yeah.
-Thanks.

How reliable is your source?

Rock solid, sir. He always delivers.

Well done, Hassan.
You did well. Thank you.

Ma'am.

-[sighs]
-Well, what do you think?

It's difficult to say.
It could be any number of things.

For example, party officials
maneuvering for prime positions

at next year's party national convention.

All this secrecy
for a national convention?

It's a serious business.

That's where party members
become visible at the national stage.

Then why leave my father out of the loop?

You're right. He's too influential.
They wouldn't.

I need to see him.
I need to see if he's heard anything.

[David] So, how was your day?

Strange. Yeah...

My CSO reports strange goings on
in the corridors of power.

And that's strange because?

My father has been kept out of the loop.

Oh.

[sighs] Anyway, since I can't go
to my son's little do,

Linda, Joyce and I were going for a drink.

They'll be here shortly,
so I'm going to shower and change.

Okay. [grunts]

-David.
-Yes?

Tell your friend to send in his bid.

I'll keep an eye out for it,
but he'll have to earn it.

Hello, Speaker. Yes, good evening.

Can-- Can you please repeat that?

[Joyce and Linda chattering]

-Henry.
-Your Excellency.

What are you doing here?
We're heading out for dinner.

I'm sorry, but you have to cancel
your outing.

-What's wrong?
-Henry?

Your Excellency, I've just been informed
by the Speaker of the House

that a clear majority
of the members of the House

have initiated impeachment proceedings
against you.
