Anna! Over here!

- Hey. - Hey.

Well, she's late. I'll tell you what.

Hey, you guys. Mwah!

- Hi, beautiful. - Hey.

- Hey, gorgeous. - Hey.

- God, it's a zoo in here tonight. - Yes, it is.

- Why? - Who cares? Look at all these guys!

I don't think Victor would approve of you saying that.

- He wouldn't dare. - I have no reason to.

I'm going home with the most beautiful man in the room.

- Aww. - Oh, hey.

- Did you talk to your parents? - About?

Hello! About us staying in their house

- next summer in the Hamptons! - Yes.

Yes, we're really looking forward to that.

I can't wait.

You guys, I am so sorry.

My aunt and uncle are moving back from Paris,

and they're actually staying there for a while.

- Hmm. - Great.

Dax, plan B.

I'm not going to Jacksonville.

- But Jacksonville's nice. - I've never heard of it.

Jacksonville is nice for the retired.

We're gonna go to Miami. What about you?

I am going to visit my parents in Greece.

Oh. Well, must be nice having wealthy parents.

- You can say that again. - Yeah, and having them pay

for your fabulous flat overlooking the city.

- Okay, can we stop? - No.

- Oh, stop. She's sensitive. - Aww!

You're rich. Aww.

So, where you been?

Uh, they just had me stay a little late.

Why?

- Oh... - We never have to stay late.

Thank god. Why were you asked?

Sounds like a story to me.

Hold that thought.

Okay, so,

are they not happy with you?

No. No, no. Um...

You know we have that guy coming in from Harlem

- that helped out the kids? - Yeah.

You know, I just had to make sure

that everything was in order.

Okay, well, we're working on that, too. Right, Dax?

Oh, I know. I know. I just...

I got tapped as the lead for some reason.

Well, be sure you know how to pronounce his name.

He hates it if you can't pronounce the names.

- Yeah, I know. Thank you, Dax. - Ooh.

- Who is this? - I'm John.

Um, I'm Valerie.

And you are?

She's Anna. I'm Dax.

Sorry, she's being very rude.

And I'm Victor.

I'm also being very rude.

Sorry. She's had a very long day at work,

and she should dance with you.

- No, she should not. - Anna.

Wow, you know, you never talk to any guys.

I feel like there's something you want to tell us.

Yes, you guys. I'm a lesbian.

- I knew it. - Mm-hmm.

And I am so sorry. My partner would be so upset.

Come on. You're dancing.

No, I'm not.

Oh, yes, you are. Go.

No, Valerie.

Go! I'm sorry.

- Stop! Valerie! - Post it, post it!

- Why? Why? - Oh, come on. Stop.

- We work at the White House. - What is wrong with you?

You should want to be seen with this guy.

- And you only live once. - Yeah, live.

Exactly. I mean, this guy's so cute.

You're just a little drunk. Can you please delete it?

It's already posted.

Valerie!

Relax! Whoa! We're not doing anything.

- What is... - Is she serious?

- I'm sorry. - What the hell was that?

You forgot your drink!

Hold it right there!

- Are you okay? - We're sorry.

- Can you just delete it? - I did.

What's going on with you?

Annie Belle.

Who is that?

Mmm. I know what's going on here.

- Oh, so do I. - You been holding out on us?

You guys, I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me, okay?

- She's been holding out on us. - Yeah.

Well, she doesn't look too happy to see him.

No, she doesn't.

Maybe he's the reason she didn't want us to post it!

- You guys. - Makes sense.

Come on. Haven't you embarrassed me enough for one night?

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

What are you doing here?

- I needed to talk to you. - Then you should have called.

So you can ignore us?

I need to talk to you.

- Well, now's not a good time. - Well, when is a good time, Annie?

J.B., I am very tired and I have to get up very early.

Well, we've been trying to call you for months.

And I've been busy, J.B. I told you that.

You need to help us.

I don't have any money, J.B. I'm an intern.

This place is nice.

Yeah. You would think that.

I looked it up, Annie.

Rent here is 4 grand a month. You got money.

- You just don't want to help us. - I don't.

Huh. You don't...

You don't have any money or you don't want to help us?

I don't have any money.

How you afford this place, then?

Student loans.

- Debt to no end. - Well, why can't you give us

- some of that money? - Because it doesn't work that way, J.B.

Yeah, it just ain't fair that you leave us

- for all this and take care... - You know, I'm not doing this.

Hey, wha... you are going to.

No, I'm not, J.B.

Go back to Happy, 'cause I'm not.

You don't care that things are falling apart down there?

You are such a bitch.

What happened to you, Annie Belle? Who are you?

No one you know.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. I ain't done talking to you.

Unhand me, J.B.

Are you okay, ma'am?

Who the hell are you?

I'm fine.

- Who the hell are you? - He's just my neighbor.

Okay? Hey.

Let... me go.

You just gonna abandon us all, huh?

Leave us down there to take care of everything?

Hello?

Do you know how much I hate it

when you don't answer the phone?

I'm sorry. I was out.

I know.

I got her to take it down.

You want to tell me who that guy is?

- Um, he's... he's no one. - Uh-huh.

He's... just some random guy.

I... I... I... I don't know him.

He's handsome.

- Well, he's not as handsome as you. - Uh-huh.

And who was the guy outside your apartment?

I didn't realize you were having me followed again.

Well, you should answer.

I Wanted to know you were okay. I was worried.

Sorry.

It won't happen again.

You're quiet. You're upset with me, aren't you?

I don't like when you're upset with me.

Hello?

Damn it.

All right, all right, y'all. Get up.

Got to go to school.

All right. Come on. It's time to get up and go to school, okay?

Mac. I want you to take this to Grandma, okay?

- I'm so glad it's your turn. - Ha, ha.

- Aunty Bonnie? - Yeah.

- Rebel's sick. - What's wrong with you?

I don't feel so good.

You don't have a fever.

- She has a test today. - Busted.

Well, listen, honey. You still got to go to school, okay?

- 'Cause I got to go to work. - Aunty Bonnie!

Shh!

Your uncle's sleeping, okay?

He just got in a little while ago. Go on.

- Come on. Let's go. - Don't rush us.

- Get to school. - Such an ass.

- Get to school. - Rebel.

You better watch your mouth. Go.

- Shut up. - Go on, Mac.

- It's your turn. - Shut up.

Walk a little faster.

Ugh.

Come on, Mac. Go.

Go.

Coming.

- Hey, Brody. - Hi.

- How you doing? - I'm fine.

You know I'm here for the rent.

Sorry that it's late. I, uh... it's just been a little...

Slow at the diner.

It's all there, Brody.

You don't have to count it.

- You know we can't keep doing this. - I know. I'm sorry.

How's your daddy?

All right, I guess.

How y'all doing up there?

Doing all right.

- You getting any work done? - As much as I can.

He need full-time care, don't he?

It's all right.

Well, I really miss your daddy, you know that?

I miss him coming around here, collecting the rent.

He was real nice to me.

Well, that's part of the problem, Bonnie.

Folks around here like to take advantage of that.

What is that supposed to mean?

I'm not that type of person.

You paying your mama's rent?

Look, I went over to my mama's trailer.

I gave her her check and she... I can't find it.

So as soon as I do, I'll give it to you, but I...

Yeah, this is what I mean, Bonnie.

Brody, I know. I'm sorry.

- I... I... I... y'all been real good to... - Look.

Things are different now since my daddy is sick,

and I need you to pay on time!

Why are you yelling at me? I said okay. I'm sorry.

This is the last time.

Okay.

How about this? How about if I come and

sit with your daddy, maybe work for you?

What do you think about that?

- You have a job. - Yeah. At the diner,

but I mean at nighttime. How about I come over

to Your place, work for you, maybe

in exchange for Mama's rent?

Who's gonna take care of your mama

if you're taking care of my daddy?

J...

- J.B.'s here and... - J.B.'s back in town?

- Yeah. - Don't tell me you're back together.

His truck's over there. You didn't see it when you drove in?

He's been driving for Dugan now, so

things are looking up for us.

Yeah, until he runs out on you again, Bonnie.

Brody, please don't say that.

I'd really like to sit with your daddy, if you'd let me.

- No. - Please. Come on.

- No. - Brody, I know what's it's like

to sit with a parent.

I've been doing it for years.

Why won't you let me help you?

He needs help.

Can you just get me the money, please?

Yeah, I'll get you the money.

Brody...

Bye.

B., wake up.

Yeah, I'm up.

No, come on. Get up.

- I'm up. - You're not up!

- That Brody? - Yeah.

Mm.

- Bastard. - Hey.

Don't say that about him.

He just wanted the rent.

- You pay him? - Yeah, I paid him.

I didn't pay him Mama's, though.

Don't look at me. I ain't got nothing.

I know. That's why you got to get up

and go to work, okay?

- I'm up, I said. - Yeah, you are not up.

You are just laying there like a bump on a log.

- I'm... I'm tired. - Stop. I don't want to...

J.B. Come on.

Mnh, mnh.

- All right, fine. - Hmm?

Why'd you get home so late, huh?

You had a long run yesterday.

Mm. Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Where'd you go?

Bonnie, we can't...

We can't take care of all these kids and your mama.

I mean, it was just... it's...

It's a lot to deal with.

Did you go up and see her?

- Yeah. - You went up and saw her, didn't you?

Mm-hmm.

Damn it, J.B. What in the hell?

We cannot go and jeopardize her job.

- She works in the White House. - You know how she's living up there?

I don't care. That's none of your business.

- What are you talking about, Bonnie? - What am I talking about?

- She left everything on you. - I'm fine.

No. No, you ain't. You ain't fine.

You're overworked, and I am, too.

She's doing good, J.B. We got to leave her alone.

We ought to ask her for some help.

Hell, she... she don't care about nothing but herself.

That's not true!

She works in the White House.

- What do you expect from her? - Bonnie.

I know that you want to believe her, but it ain't true.

She don't care.

I want you to promise me you'll never do that again.

All right, then you ought to call her

- and ask her for some help. I want you to promise me

right now, J.B.

Don't do it again!

Please. For me.

Call her and ask her for help, Bonnie.

If I do that, I will tell her that you will

never, ever do that again. Please.

- J.B., come on. - Let me go.

- We're not done talking here. - Yeah, well, I got to shower, you know.

I got to... got to get to work.

Pronounce his name, please.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

This is Rokudo Romondo Avna Muhammad.

Oh, right. How could I not know that?

You are a hero. This is wife, Katelynn.

Hello. Congratulations.

Listen. Thank you for all you've done.

How incredibly bold you are.

Photo?

Right this way, sir.

I'm sorry about the representative from the Social Office, sir.

- Have her come. - Sure.

- Thomas. Let it go. - She needs to learn.

I'm sorry, sir.

Do you know how incredibly embarrassing it is

to have someone you're supposed to respect and admire

- and not even know their name? - I'm sorry, sir.

- Were you distracted? - No.

- What's your name? - Anna, sir.

- And what are you studying? - Political science.

Well, Anna who's studying political science,

if you want to be in the Social Office

in the White House and in the East Wing,

you should really be more prepared.

There are thousands perhaps millions of people

who'd like to work in the Social Office.

Are we clear?

Yes, sir. It won't happen again.

Thank you.

Man. He hates you.

- No, he doesn't. - That was a huge mistake.

Hey. What happened?

I just got a phone call and a text from my parents.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah.

- You're sure? - Yes. Um...

They're just in the south of France for the weekend,

and... and... and my dog got left alone. That's all.

Wow! Your dog almost cost you your job.

Would you shut up?

Hey. Look, don't worry about him, all right?

- He's right, though. I did screw up. - Anna. It's okay.

Come on. Let's get back.

Tom.

- Yes. - Why were so hard on her?

- Who? - That young lady, Anna.

These kids need to learn.

Yes, but through humiliation?

I didn't humiliate her.

I just think you should let one of the aides

in social service handle it. You are the president.

Yes, I'm aware.

And if you're not happy with her, have her removed.

You shouldn't be down in those weeds.

I get it.

I will focus on the big picture

and not set a young lady who has dreams and goals

on the right path.

If you're not happy, I can have her removed, I'm sure.

No.

It's fine.

Mr. President.

- Yes? - Shall I show Mr. Hilbrand to the Oval?

Yes. Thank you.

- Will you be up for dinner? - I will try.

Are you cold?

I'm gonna put this blanket there if you need it.

Thank you.

Yeah. Sure.

What's your name?

I'm Brody, Daddy.

Ah, Brody.

Did you bring your brother in from the field?

Yeah, I did.

Okay.

Where's your mother?

She's laying down.

Well, she should be laying here with me.

Yeah, well, she is coming.

Where's your mother?

She's in the kitchen, Daddy.

- Oh, cooking? - Yeah.

Oh.

Yeah, I smell it.

Ah.

I'm sure you do.

Did you bring your brother in from the field?

- Yeah, I'm going to now. - Okay.

Oh, I need to wear my blue denim to the mill tomorrow.

Yeah.

So tell your mother to press it.

- Okay, I will. - Okay.

- You should get your rest, okay? - Okay.

Hey. I'm sorry it's so late.

What can I do for you?

Um...

- I brought you Mama's rent. - Oh.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

I found it right after you left.

Okay.

And I also brought you a meal.

- I'm fine. - No, you're not.

I can see it in your eyes.

I have to go to the mill.

That's tomorrow, Daddy.

No. No, it's... it's today.

- Daddy... - No...

Hello, Dr. Allen. How are you?

- Who are you? - I'm Bonnie.

Listen, can you come over to my trailer tomorrow morning

and fix some pipes?

Oh. Y... yes. Yes.

Yes? Okay, great.

Well, you should get some rest

'cause you know how tired that makes you.

Yeah. You're right. You're right.

D... do you want me to help you to bed?

Oh, no, no, no. I... I can manage.

- All right. - You...

tell Jolene I'll be there in the morning.

- You know I will. - Okay. Thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

How did you know that would work?

I didn't.

I thought it was worth a try.

Thank you.

Okay.

You want to come in?

Uh, sure.

Just for a sec.

Yeah. It smells good, so...

- Come on. - Well, I know it smells good.

I made it.

- Yeah. - Yeah. Uh-huh.

Mr. President?

- Anna. Hi. - Hi.

- You can leave us now, Judy. - Yes, sir.

Go home. Larry's with me here now.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry about today.

And about last night.

Are you still upset with me?

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Who's at home with the kids?

- What? - You heard me.

J.B.

How's that going?

- It's going. - You happy?

Yes.

Good.

I'm sorry, Brody.

For what?

For Annie breaking your heart.

Yeah.

Well, she wanted the big city, so

what could I do?

She's doing real good.

Yeah, I hear.

Hey.

She works in the White House.

Did you know that?

You never talk to her?

Ever?

Yeah, I tried a couple times.

Yeah?

She won't return my calls, so...

I'm done with it.

Well, the next time I talk to Annie,

I'm gonna tell her to give you a call.

No. I don't do that.

You sure?

Yeah. That's over.

Okay.

You mad at her, ain't you?

Look, can we not talk about this?

Okay.

Sorry.

- Larry. - Ma'am.

- Where's Thomas? - He is in a meeting, ma'am.

- Where? - It's undisclosed.

Well, with you standing there, I know he's in the Oval.

- Ma'am. - And where's Judy?

Gone for the evening, ma'am.

- Why is he down here this late again? - I'm not sure, ma'am.

Well, is there some sort of crisis

that's going on that I don't know about?

I'm not sure, ma'am.

Well, how long will the meeting last?

Not sure, ma'am.

Okay. Who's in the meeting with him?

I'm not allowed to say, ma'am.

Ma'am?

I will be sure and let him know

you came by looking for him once he's out.

I think I'll just sit here, if you don't mind.

Yes, ma'am.

I know you got a lot going on, Brody,

with your daddy and your mama passing.

I'm gonna pray for you, okay?

Thank you for dinner.

Yeah.

I can

cook for you you every night,

bring it over for your daddy

and you and just sit with him

if you'd like that.

What?

Hi, Judy.

Hello, ma'am. Is there anything I can do for you?

Yes. I'm looking for my husband.

Oh, yes, ma'am. He's in a briefing.

Where?

In the situation room, ma'am.

Is that so.

Yes, ma'am. Um, shall I get a message to him?

So, this is how you cover for him.

I'm sorry?

I'm waiting to speak with him.

Okay. I will let him know.

He's not in the situation room.

He's in the Oval, isn't he?

- Oh, I wasn't aware... - Sure you weren't.

Please. Stand there.

And, Larry, try to resist telling your buddies

to go through the rose garden

and let them know that I'm sitting out here.

We're gonna stand here like good little boys and girls

and wait for him to come out.

Stop, please. Stop, stop, stop.

I miss you.

You wanted my sister, Brody.

You didn't want me.

I love you.

You dated my sister.

Please.

She's been gone for years, Bonnie.

This ain't right.

I know, you said that.

You said that a lot.

It's been three years since she left.

Never even called me.

I didn't even know you were as special as you are.

That's because...

That's because you were in love with her.

She's gone.

I'm with J.B. now,

Brody, okay?

That ain't gonna stop me from loving you.

Well, I wish that it would. And... and I'm very sorry.

This is why you can't be here with my daddy.

I understand.

But if you change your mind,

we could sure use the money.

Tell me you love it.

I love it.

Thomas?

Thomas.

Thom... Thomas. Thomas!

Help!

Help!

Help! Something happened to him.

What is it?

I don't know.

Mr. President. Can you hear me?

Okay, let's get him down on the ground.

Careful. Emergency medical is airlift-ready.

Okay. Watch his head.

- Check his airway. - It's clear.

Okay, check for a pulse.

Wait, I've got something. It's faint, but it's there.

Okay. I'm gonna start chest compressions.

- 1, 2... - The president is down.

- The president is down. - 3, 4, 5.

Let's go again.

I don't know.

Maybe he's going there.

Oh, god.

- Trouble. - Can I talk to you?

- Pay up. - I thought you weren't coming.

- You just cost me five bucks. - Please.

Hey, what's going on?

Just... Can we talk?

Okay, well, why don't we go to the ladies' room?

Can we actually go outside?

- Uh, sh... should I... - Yeah.

All right. Come on.

Should I come? No.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Uh... I, uh...

Okay, is it that guy?

The guy from the truck? Is he hurting you?

I think I hurt him.

What did you do?

I didn't do anything. He just... he just...

He stopped breathing.

- Okay, well, did you call an ambulance? - No.

You have to. Where is he?!

Anna, give me the address! I'm calling 911.

- No. - Anna. Give me the address!

Okay. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

What are you saying?

You can't tell anyone.

Okay, Anna,

I've known you for three years,

and you're scaring me.

It's the president.

What's the president?

He's... he's the guy.

The guy you're having an affair with?

Yeah.

No. No.

- I cannot know this. - Valerie, you're all I have.

No. This is the type of stuff that ruins people's lives!

- I need you. - No. You don't.

Valerie, please help me.

Don't contact me again because I cannot know this, Anna!

I have to go.

- Valerie. - No.

- Valerie, you're the only person I know. - No.

No! Do not follow me!

No.

- Valerie. - No.

The White House has released a statement

that the president is recovering at the White House

after suffering about with the flu.

I'm... I didn't do anything. I swear.

First lady.

Leave us, please.

So, this is how he keeps you.

You must be really good.

How long have you been fucking him?

I asked you a question.

We're just friends.

Friends?

Yeah.

He's the president.

You're a lying bit of trailer park trash.

You can't be friends with the president.

That's laughable.

Is... that a tear, dear?

I'm so sorry.

This must have been thrilling for you.

Coming from where you come from, Annie Belle.

Living like this.

A view of the monuments.

The president my husband.

He made you feel special, didn't he?

That's what he does.

He has the ability to make you feel like

you're the only one that matters.

It's an act.

It's a gift,

and it's no match for a child from Happy, Alabama.

Is there someone or something good

waiting for you in Alabama?

- No. - Well, there must be.

You took this leap into my life.

You think I'm just gonna let you walk away freely?

I'm so sorry.

Little Annie Belle Hayes facing federal charges

for the attempted assassination

of the President of the United States.

What?

Wait, I didn't do anything.

You fucked him. That's what you did.

What's your plan, girl?

I don't have a plan.

There was no condom in that office.

Did he use one?

No.

- Take this. - What is it?

Take it!

I have to be sure you don't have some bastard child

that I will have to deal with. Take it now.

Put it in your mouth and swallow it.

Open your mouth and stick out your tongue.

Good girl.

How much trouble am I in?

You are in so deep, little girl.

Tomorrow, the world will know, and I assure you

it will know about you and him.

I won't say anything. I promise.

You won't have to.

I will.

- What? - I will.

- You will? - Yes.

- I... I don't understand. - Sure, you do.

- No, I mean... - Why all the surprise?

You think I'm just gonna let you do this

and you'll walk away freely?

Why would you do that?

Why wouldn't I?

Because you're the first lady.

And, tell me, what exactly does that mean?

Your job

is to protect him.

My job?

Yes.

I'm an Ivy-league-educated attorney.

I didn't mean to offend.

You didn't mean to offend?

So, sleeping with my husband wasn't meant to

o... offend me?

I just meant that...

I think you should protect him.

- So, my job is to protect him? - Yes.

And your job was in the

Social Office of the East Wing. Did you do your job?

Yes, I did.

And where in that job description

did it say anything about being on your knees in the Oval?

I'm sorry.

We've established that.

Ms. Christian, if you do this,

it will be horrible for the both of you.

- Is that a threat? - No. I just mean...

Why would you do that?

To yourself and to him and to your kids?

So, are we your concern, or is it yourself?

I'm concerned for both of us.

So you think this scandal will affect me?

Yes, I do.

Then why were you having an affair with him?

- I'm sorry. - Yes, you are.

Think about everything you've built.

- Yes. I am. He's... - The president.

He's the president.

You don't get it at all, do you, Alabama?

You made the fatal mistake of coming after what's mine.

I'm going to destroy you

just like every other whore who had the unfortunate moment

of crossing paths with a powerful politician.

You'll never be able to get a job.

You'll be a joke.

Forever known as the dumb hick

who sucked off the president.

Do you have any idea how dumb you are?

Ms. Christian, please don't do this.

Larry.

What are you doing?
