CLAIRE: Previously on House of Cards...

JIM: (READING) We are citizens of the United States.

We 've been taken hostage.

JOSHUA: We will not communicate with the criminal Frank Unden/vood.

We will only communicate with his successor, William Conway.

MELISSA: (SCREAMING) NO!

JOSHUA: Either you give us what we want or we kill them.

Aren't you angry that he stole your presidency?

SHARP: Walker went on record.

You and I go on the record, he’s done.

Transcribe this right away.

He's putting in the article that we threatened to expose them.

How did this happen?

You're gonna be the next First Lady of the United States.

CLAIRE: We make it work for us.

Feah

Feah

I'm done trying to win over people's hearts.

TOM: Underwood may be a crook, but he's not a killer.

YATES: It presumes he’s going to die.

He is going to die.

(GASPS)

We don 't submit to terror.

We make the terror.

I've been meaning to talk with you.

It's terrifying, isn't it?

The president and I have a simple request.

Tell us what you see.

If anything in your environment

strikes you as a bit odd, a bit off,

pick up the phone.

Whether it's a package or a person that seems out of place,

we'd love you to let us know.

Because there's a lot of noise out there these days.

A noisy press that's choosing to dwell on the past

instead of what's happening right now.

My husband and I want to protect you.

In two weeks' time, you will be heading to the ballot box

to decide what kind of country you want to live in.

It's a profound choice.

But no matter who wins this election,

we're going to need to work together,

watch out for each other,

and, yes, watch each other,

to keep us all safe and sound.

Tell us what you see.

My name is Claire UndenNood and I approve this message.

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

Should we do one more?

FRANCIS: Did the Democrats show?

DOUG: They didn't disappoint. Almost every member, sir.

FRANCIS: Almost. DOUG: I have a list of those who did.

My fellow congressmen, I do not need the Washington Herald

to tell me that a scoundrel lives in the White House.

I can see the Democrats are here.

They're eager to debate.

And I say to the gentlemen on the other side of the aisle,

thank you.

FRANCIS: Go. CONGRESSMAN 1: Should we investigate

the president for crimes committed while he was vice president? I say yes.

-Let's debate. -(CONGRESS MURMURING)

Let's debate this miscreant all day and all night.

-He's got every right. -I don't wanna hear it.

CONGRESSMAN 2: Madam Speaker. Parliamentary inquiry.

MCCARTHY: The gentleman from Georgia may state...

-(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY) -...the nature of his Parliamentary inquiry.

CONGRESSMAN 2: Do the rules of the House not require

the president to be formally invited in order to attend?

CONGRESSMAN 3: Madam Speaker, ifl may...

MCCARTHY: The Speaker recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.

The president is wearing his congressional pin today

and is thereby welcome to any and all proceedings.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Madam Speaker! Madam Speaker!

(GAVEL BANGING)

Rules of the House state that former members are not allowed on the floor

-if when they have interest in the matter -(lNDlSTlNCT)

under debate.

Madam Speaker,

the president has no interest or opinion

on the matter being debated today.

-(CLAMORING) -(GAVEL BANGING)

MCCARTHY: The House suspend. The House will suspend.

Madam Speaker, I still do have the floor,

and I find it hard to believe

that the president wouldn't have an opinion

on the matter being discussed.

BOB: If the good gentleman from Florida would yield a portion of his time,

I assure him it will satisfy his query.

(CLAMORING)

I yield three minutes to the leader.

And I yield my time to the former

congressman from South Carolina

and the president of the United States.

-(CHEERING AND APPLAUDING) -(GAVEL BANGING)

CONGRESSMAN 2: Point of order!

Parliamentary inquiry!

Parliamentary inquiry!

Parliamentary inquiry!

(GAVEL BANGING)

MCCARTHY: Mr. President. This is beyond the norm.

I don't care.

I don't care.

And I also do not care about your investigative committees.

No, that is not what I care about today.

(ALL CLAMORING)

(GAVEL BANGING)

MCCARTHY: The House will cease.

That is not what I care about today.

I am on my way to the funeral of an American patriot.

(CONGRESSMAN 4 GROANING)

A good man, a husband.

A father who was beheaded on American soil.

And this chamber chooses

to debate me?

(CHEERING)

-MCCARTHY: The House will suspend. -| asked to speak

to a full session of this chamber and my requests were denied.

Madam Speaker!

You must yield the floor.

Iwill not yield, Madam Speaker.

(ALL CHEERING)

Because I cannot wait.

(GAVEL BANGING)

One of the murderers...

One of the murderers who killed Mr. Jim Miller

is still out there.

At large.

How much more proof do you people need?

(CHEERING)

I demand that every member of this House take a stand.

Like FDR before, and Wilson before him.

I demand that this Congress

declare a formal declaration of war against ICO,

both here and abroad.

CONGRESSMAN 1: Motion to adjourn.

CONGRESSMAN 2: Second! MCCARTHY: The House will adjourn.

The president will cease.

FRANCIS: I will not cease!

Iwill never cease.

I demand that this Congress declare a state of war

has existed and does exist

between ICO and the United States of America.

And I demand that every member of this House stay in this chamber

for as long as it takes, until you bring my request to a vote.

Or you will all go down in history as cowards!

Cowards!

The sergeant at arms will remove the president.

Madam Speaker, I repeat. I demand a vote.

I will not yield.

I will not yield.

I will not yield.

(GAVEL BANGS)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Alleged terrorist Zachary Hawthorne was killed by the FBI,

but Joshua Masterson is still at large.

While the Miller family mourns,

the hunt for the missing terrorist continues

and tensions are running high.

The president may be asking for war,

but it seems war's already been declared on him.

(CHANTING IN ARABIC)

(CHANTING CONTIN U ES)

My fans.

(VIDEO STOPS)

FBI is looking into a multiple shooting in Chattanooga.

Reports have it gang related.

No.

A private plane went down in West Virginia. Mechanical failure.

A series of homes were set on fire in Georgia, most likely arson.

Uh... Convenience store in North Carolina

exploded about 4:00 this morning.

Where's the store?

Uh, suburb outside of Raleigh.

The cause is still under investigation.

I'll make an appearance.

Yes, ma'am.

Just put it on the schedule so the media has time to mobilize.

Yes, ma'am.

I take it the president has declared war on Joshua Masterson.

He never should've kicked me off that call.

But this morning isn't about politics.

(SIGHS) That's right.

We need to show some compassion for the living.

CONWAY: And respect for the dead.

DOUG: The family agreed to a moment.

No press, no speeches, but we should be able to pull something.

-Mr. President. -Governor.

Do they not realize what we've done for them already?

You know, I pointed that out, sir,

but the daughter is medicated and very fragile at the moment.

All right.

FRANCIS: Mrs. Miller.

I'm so very sorry.

Thank you.

And I promise you,

I will not stop until everyone responsible for this terrible tragedy

is brought to justice.

And I swear to you, as God is my witness,

no one will ever harm you or your family ever again.

The nation mourns with you and your daughter, Mrs. Miller.

Thank you. If you don't mind...

Of course.

CONWAY: Mr. President.

I'll be right along.

It's a busy day for you today, sir.

It's a sad, sad day.

It's a shame things didn't turn out differently.

Yes. Well, some things are bigger than the two of us, Will.

MELISSA: I don't want him here!

Calm down, Melissa. Please.

It's his fault. He's dead.

-Daddy's dead. He killed him. -Please.

-(KNOCK|NG ON DOOR) -Give me a minute.

-Did you take your medicine? -Yes. Okay? Yes.

Yes !

You do. You think about what you would say on a day like today.

If a day like today were to happen.

(SNIFFLES) But you let it pass

because you know you have so much more left ahead of you.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

(SNIFFLES) You think... You think 40 minutes...

If we were late 40 minutes...

(CLAIRE CRYING)

Or two, or one...

Or if we went somewhere else to eat... (INHALES DEEPLY)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

But to dwell in the past, to live in what-ifs...

That wasn't my husband.

That wasn't us...

-Honey. .. -Please.

Okay. Come on.

(SNIFFLES)

I need to...

(EXHALES) I wanted to say about my father...

(SIGHS)

He was so strong, so brave.

My father was taking us to...

My father...

Come on, baby. It's okay.

My father...

You killed my father. You're the reason he died.

Melissa...

It's all right, Melissa. We understand.

(SHUTTERS CLICK)

(WHISPERS) I hope you die and she becomes president.

What did the girl say to you?

She said she hopes I die and that you become the president.

Mr. Macallan, this is Deputy Director Michaels from the NSA.

I'm literally in your office. I believe we had a meeting.

DOUG: There's been raids as far up as New York

and down to the panhandle.

As of now,

Green's focusing in on the border

between Virginia and North Carolina.

Seth has a statement ready for this afternoon.

No,no,no. The best statement is no statement.

Besides, Iwant Claire to be the voice on this until we're ready.

Yes, sir.

Quite a crowd out there.

Well, we better bring Birch in first.

Yes, sir.

(DOOR OPENS)

Congressman Birch.

BOb.

That was a bit Of history this morning, wasn't it?

It certainly was.

I couldn't see it any other way.

NO disagreement from here.

Well, you know how the Republicans are.

Anything but a decision. They mistake complaint for leadership.

Well, instead Of a committee to investigate you,

you got one to discuss your declaration.

All the way to election day.

Even if there's only a handful of Republicans

with the grit and Spit to put up a fight,

we can control the conversation.

Get them talking about anything but that goddamn article.

All right. Now who from our side

-dO we need to massage? -Womack.

The declaration caught him Off guard. Had to keep him out Of it.

It's his constituents that actually fight the damn thing.

Well, let's call in the honorable gentleman from Missouri.

Oh, he's a bourbon man, isn't he?

DOUG: Yes, he is.

A stunt. Yes, I'm calling it a stunt.

CLAIRE: Charlie, ifl may...

Tom, please, what are you implying?

This request for a declaration Of war is yet another distraction.

And I've never been prouder Of the president than I am today.

TOM: I'm not denying what happened to the Millers.

It was a tragedy.

CLAIRE: NO, but you are. Because denying it is the tragedy.

This is a pattern.

Your husband's administration, Mrs. Underwood,

-continues to Operate in the shadows. -CLAIRE: Tom...

I understand you believe in the importance Of your article.

And I agreed tO come here today and talk with you about it.

But we're fighting to keep this country safe.

Mrs. Underwood, the White House has yet to release

one piece of information

about the attempted capture Of those domestic terrorists.

ICO terrorists, yes.

Reports from a few hours ago

are saying North Carolina or Virginia.

But that's all we have.

Well, we are circling in, we're getting closer.

I will tell you,

our intelligence community, they are the real heroes.

TOM: Charlie, if we could get back to my point,

my sources confirmed...

CLAIRE: Tom.

Heather Dunbar, nO friend Of mine or my husband's,

looked into these charges, and cleared the president.

Cleared? Please.

The White House has not had a Single press briefing

since the Herald ran my article.

You keep saying the White House isn't Speaking about this.

I am Sitting right here talking to you.

Not Remy Danton or Jackie Sharp. Or Lucas Goodwin, either.

(MOUTHING) What?

CHARLIE: Excuse me. Lucas Goodwin, meaning?

I'm saying, me. I'm here.

And I don't know how many more times we have to go over this.

You know, a Tom Hammerschmidt article used to be

the first thing I would look for

when I opened the Washington Herald.

MARSHALL: The Underwood's are no longer campaigning.

(SCOFFS)

CONWAY: Well, they can call it what they want.

Well, if you think about the last few days, what's in the air...

It might not be such a bad idea

for us to take it one handshake at a time.

Or call it for what it is.

"Home and abroad."

The president is essentially asking for permission

to fight a war on our soil.

We can't push back too hard.

We can't afford to look soft on terror.

BROCKHART: We can't lOOk the other way, either.

You Of all people know where this kind Of talk leads.

FRANCIS: (ON TV) ...ICO and the United States of America.

Make sure the committee dealing with the Declaration Of War

never gets to a vote.

We're not against war, we're against his.

I want you tO reach out tO the Speaker

and find out who she's putting on that committee.

We need to get back to the president's crimes.

That's the story. It's the only story.

I have my script.

Harry.

I want to know what he says and when he says it.

Our general isn't used to taking orders.

Will, one more thing.

-What? -Your wife.

Okay, I know we Opened up this campaign on POllyhOp,

but it might be time to close it down,

or at least be more careful.

Well, what did they find out?

The home of the mother of the terrorist,

you know, the one they're looking for,

was vandalized last night.

Garage set on fire. Broken windows.

And, uh, Hannah...

Well, she posted.

She was defending the mother online.

VVhen?

This afternoon.

The timing is not good on this.

-I can Show you. -Not now.

(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)

BROCKHART: Thank you.

Governor Conway and I are honored to be here

with the Miller family and their closest friends.

I know the VFW was a big part Of Jim's life here in Knoxville.

With the help of Homeland and our hotline,

we think that Masterson has crossed

into the Southwest corner Of Virginia.

Scott or Washington.

DOUG: And?

And...

Assistant Director Green?

We're relying on aerial support,

sightings and local law enforcement.

But we're fairly confident we can have him pinned down

in the next 24 hours.

The president wants us to be absolutely sure.

We can't have him getting away again. Careers are at stake.

Everyone around this table is fully aware

of the gravity of the situation.

GOOd. The president will be happy to hear that.

HANNAH: (SOFTLY) Okay. What kind Of kiss do you want?

CHARLIE: (WHISPERS) Eskimo.

HANNAH: In

and out.

I'll be right back.

-You're angry. -I am.

(SIGHS)

I was asked a question and I answered.

That's the least Of it.

Okay, well, I don't want to talk about it right now.

Are you trying to lose this election? Are you?

Oh, WiII, stop it.

This woman that you're defending...

Her son just cut someone's head Off.

And he's still out there somewhere.

-DO you understand what this looks like? -StOp.

DO you want to know why our son can't sleep?

He's eight years Old, and he can't sleep.

Because he's having nightmares.

Because he thinks there's a big

black dog running around the hotel.

-Dog? -Yes.

He closes his eyes and he can hear it growling.

He's scared, Will.

I said what I said because that woman is a victim.

We all are.

And it has to stop.

I want you to win.

GO get yourself a drink. I'll be right back.

(SIGHS)

HANNAH: Sweetie.

LEANN: That's the mother. And this is Hannah's response.

She is not a criminal

and should not be punished for the sins of her son.

We all, I know, reject the rhetoric

and actions of these damaged, troubled young men.

What I mean is, this is a time for reflection,

not aggression...

SO she's not condoning it, but it is sympathetic.

It plays into the idea that Joshua and Zachary

were just a pair Of troubled kids looking for a cause,

nO different than some schOOI shooter.

The post has been shared over 100,000 times.

I want tO talk with her.

-Hannah? -The mother.

We've been very careful about where you appear.

LeAnn, will you excuse us for a moment?

Of course.

We need to dial up the terror. And the mother can help us with that.

But that also means we have to locate Masterson.

Soon.

Tom is waiting for me.

Well, you go on.

Francis.

I shouldn't have cried at the funeral.

No, it played beautifully.

Not for me.

Come with me.

Come on. Just tell him you'll be late.

-Mr. President. -It's all right, Officer.

Ma'am.

May I have your scope?

Scope on your gun. I promise I'll give it back.

Thank you. Come here.

Now, if you just hOld the scope a little a ways from your face

and look down, straight down, across the lawn,

right to the gate.

You see them?

Hmm.

FRANCIS: Those people want a voice. Some for, some against.

They're looking back across the lawn,

toward this house and these windows,

and they're thinking,

"I wonder what the president and the First Lady are doing tonight.

"And will they be able to protect us?"

I should have been there.

Where?

When you got shot. I wish I was there.

Maybe I could've

protected you.

You see, all those people want

is someone to keep them from what they're afraid to know.

And what are the president and First Lady doing tonight, Francis?

Well, I believe Thomas is waiting for you.

OFFICER: Thank you, sir.

FRANCIS: I'll see you in the morning.

(MOUTHING) DO you have a smoke?

FRANCIS: Thank you.

I know what my people Are thinking tonight

As home through the shadows They wander

Everyone smiling in secret delight

As they stare at the castle and ponder

And whenever the wind blows this way

You can almost hear everyone say

I wonder what the king is doing tonight

I've been looking for you.

I got hungry.

SO I went down to the main kitchen.

That's a lovely group Of people you have down there.

If there's anything you need, it can be brought up.

I didn't know what I needed until Iwas eating it.

I heard the president's declaration.

Very compelling.

What did you really think?

It was almost like the real thing.

(SIGHS) The NSA has good people. Very good.

-TOO good. -Not as good as you.

GOOd enough tO find my algorithms.

That doesn't mean they knew what we were using them for.

NO, no. One second, they send me home, and then the next,

they tell me, "Come back!"

They'll been watching me. This is a trap.

Or the only way out.

God damn it.

-DO you want out? -Don't you?

LeAnn.

We have done some illegal things here.

There are other campaigns.

If you can get into the NSA...

That's not possible.

...into their system, you can fix this.

I know the UndenNOOds.

The only way that we are gonna survive this

is if they win.

You can help them win.

(SIGHS)

I know you can.

I got on the paper right around the time you left.

TOM: Did you start in Style?

Metro desk.

But then I did this piece,

a street fashion, kids on the street thing.

I'm surprised you asked for me.

Some people are being moved around, and Off the team.

The Masterson story. "War, what is it gOOd for?"

(CHUCKLES)

Were you ever interested in investigative journalism?

If you ask me, if it's not investigating, it's not journalism.

Word around here is you can get anybody to talk to you.

After 8:00, with a drink in their hands,

yeah.

She's the one they say you called a...

You know.

I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.

(STUTTERS) You're sort Of a legend,

and articles on the president?

It'd be an honor to work with you in any capacity.

To be part of this.

Did you find him? Did you?

It'll only be another moment.

Because I've done all I can.

Everything you told me to. You know that.

They know that, don't they?

Mrs. UndenNOOd.

CLAIRE: Iwas hoping to speak to Ms. Masterson.

Just the two Of us.

(WHISPERS INAUDIBLY)

Is there a problem?

It is a bit extreme.

Expanding the nO-fly list to this extent.

The restrictions on visas alone is unprecedented.

How do we justify?

Well, the White House Counsel's been all through that.

It's there in black and white.

We're virtually closing down our borders without

-any hard evidence to back it up. -lt's coming.

A lot Of innocent people are trying to get into this country.

They could be hurt by this.

A change in policy this big, I want it done right.

(INHALES) Iwant you tO let the world know

that if they want to continue coming to this country

for our hospitals,

our colleges, our golf courses and God knows what else,

they're going to have to deliver more than

my head on the end of a burning stick.

Now lOOk, Cathy, I know you have

well-earned relationships out there.

Long-standing.

I'm not holding back, Francis. I have reached out.

Then I need you to reach further.

I want actionable intelligence.

I want to know where ICO is,

or at the very least, that everyone's out there looking.

Are we clear?

We're clear.

Thank you, Cathy. I know you won't let me down.

He's dead.

Is that why you're here?

We're still looking for him.

Because if he's dead, I want to see him. TO touch him.

I'm trying to help.

-Ms. Masterson, please. -But he hasn't contacted me.

(STUTTERS) Iwish he would.

I understand. Calm down.

(SIGHS)

He's not a monster like they all say.

I lost him somewhere. But he's not...

But still, monsters do exist, don't they?

I want my lawyer.

What for?

I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) I don't know why I say anything any more.

I wanted to see you to ask you a simple question.

Didn't you know what was going on in your home?

-Excuse me? -You knew,

even before he went tO Pakistan.

-I mean, you raised him. -NO.

NO. He had some problems. He got lost.

But no, nothing like this.

But you saw what he did, didn't you?

-NO. -Would you like to see it?

We can show it to you, if you like.

NO. Please don't.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

What he did to that family, to that man...

What sort of person would do such a thing?

(CRYING) He's my son.

(SNIFFLING)

(SOBBING) Oh, God.

I know. It's awful, isn't it?

Thank you.

When you leave today,

there will be some reporters, some cameramen out there.

But you don't need to say very much.

You just need to ask Josh to turn himself in.

There are SO many hardworking mothers and fathers out there.

This could've happened to any of them.

We are close to capturing your son, MS. Masterson,

and I will do my best to have you see him.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

I want to go.

No one's keeping you.

But who did she put in?

WhO did the Speaker put on the committee?

Mostly lifers, with secure seats.

We're two weeks out. It's hard to say no to war.

You and I have some things in common.

We both dislike the president.

NO. I'm still a Democrat.

(CHUCKLES) Who leans tO the right.

Alex, you do actually lean a little to the right.

He's the commander in chief.

He's got all the authority he needs to fight them where they are.

Well, there's one here. Out there, right now, as we speak.

Well, I'm a big fan Of American law enforcement.

They'll find him soon enough.

We can'tjust let Francis UndenNOOd turn us into a nation

that's always looking over their Shoulder.

If you can get yourself onto that committee,

I got a feeling the Chair will give you all the time you need.

My driver will take you back to your car. But, Congressman,

this is your chance.

And I think you know it.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Thank you for coming out here. Thank you so much.

Great tO see you. Thanks for coming out.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

ROSEANNE: Just go away!

You have no idea what is happening in your own homes.

Does the administration believe that the explosion was connected

with Joshua Masterson somehow?

We're not sure yet.

Uh, there is strong evidence to suggest.

The owner Of the establishment was foreign-born.

Any connection to ICO overseas?

I think our deputy director, Clark, here

is better equipped to answer that.

We're looking into it.

In the meantime, we've set up a hotline.

If anyone in the community has...

And if the Republican candidate

and the rest Of his party refuse to acknowledge

the seriousness Of the threat made here at home,

know that we will.

The FBI is currently gathering a list Of words and images.

If they appear on your Children's or

and they're ready to act.

And they're positive it's the right location?

-Adamant. -When?

We can coordinate out Of the Situation Room.

Oh, nO. I'm gonna meet him in person.

Sir, I strongly advise against that.

Duly noted, but I'll be on-site.

Yes, sir.

Should I be afraid?

Don't be smart.

I should, shouldn't I?

I stole something from you.

What?

What it is doesn't matter.

I just wanted something that was yours.

Well, put it back.

Waterfalls.

The NSA marked their zero-day exploits as waterfalls.

What can they get us into?

We can backdoor into some very popular social media.

I can insert anything your imagination can think Of

into those sites.

Unden/voods or othen/vise.

REPORTER: (ON LAPTOP) ...we have reports coming in from a variety of sources

stating that local police enforcement

and FBI agents are currently on the ground.

We 're receiving reports that there’s a great deal

of police activity on the Virginia border.

We cannot confirm at this time,

but we believe this is connected to the manhunt

for domestic terrorist Joshua Masterson.

The capture Of Joshua Masterson may be close at hand.

The FBI is still not commenting,

but if you look at this aerial view,

you can see heavily-armed men making their way

through this wooded area.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

NO, sir. Negative.

FBI AGENT: Sir, he's not here.

All we have are some loose domestic connections.

A perverse idOIization Of ICO overseas.

He refuses to confirm any wide-ranging homegrown network.

Our interrogators are confident

the asset is no longer valuable.

And risk to reward no longer tenable.

Sir, we have reached a breaking point.

Did you think I didn't already have him?

That I would have left him out there somewhere?

And I thought you knew me.

Josh.

Joshua.

Do you want to live?

Tell us what we want.

Tell us what we want to hear.

You're no martyr, are you?

(SCOFFS) LOOk at you.

NO one will remember what you've done,

either here on Earth, or in your heaven.

(SIGHS)

SO why did you pick the Millers?

VVhy?

What did you see?

(SOFTLY) Was it the girl?

Did you see her first?

What did you see?

Or did she see you first?

Yeah, that's it, isn't it? She saw you.

She looked right through you, didn't she?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I don't need tO see this person any more.

-Get rid Of the asset. -GREEN: Sir.

He's an animal, but he's still an American citizen.

FRANCIS: We are at war. And he is an enemy combatant.

And he lost whatever rights he might have had as an American

when he cut that poor man's head Off.

SO don't give me your pride or your position.

Because none of this would've happened

if you'd done what you were told in the first place.

I'll take care Of it.

Yes, you will, and you will dO SO willingly.

And Iwant you to get some good, usable footage

of his killing.

And then destroy everything else.

We will be releasing footage of Joshua Masterson's killing.

The administration and the intelligence community

were hoping to take him alive.

But I would like to commend

Assistant Director Of Counterterrorism, Nathan Green.

And, Of course, all Of the work that Secretary Durant

has done behind the scenes on all Of this.

The information the investigation has gathered SO far

points to Joshua Masterson and Zachary Hawthorne

having strong connections tO ICO abroad

and ICO's growing network domestically.

And so I would like tO say this to ICO directly.

You will not infect the mind Of one more of our young people,

because I will not stop until I find you.

And I say that for the grieving Miller family,

whom I hope will find some sleep tonight.

I also urge Congress

to accelerate the process and vote on my request

for a declaration Of war.

REPORTERS: Mr. President?

I will not be answering questions.

Seth will take it from here.

REPORTER: It's hard to see, but I think that was the kill shot.

Now, please remember these reports are unconfirmed,

and we 're waiting on a statement from the White House.

What we can report is a great deal of...

Why are you watching this?

...this wooded area. And shots being fired both by and...

HeIIO?

FRANCIS: Hello. This is Francis Unden/vood.

The committee is looking for Remy Danton and Jackie Sharp.

What do either Of them have to do with ICO or the war?

The talk up on the Hill is

that they're going to invite you and the rest of your staff to testify.

You're going to use the Declaration Of War to investigate?

That's right.

They're gonna use the committee

Frank asked for to investigate him.

-Fuck. -That'S right, Doug.

"Fuck."

FRANCIS: (STAMMERS) It's difficult to...

Well, perhaps if you could calm down for a moment.

CAROLINE: Please stop it.

I thought this news would bring you some relief.

The president called Mrs. Miller.

I promised you and your daughter...

Leave her alone.

Well, perhaps we should speak

when you're feeling a little more up to it.

I don 't want to hear you. Or from you.

-What you did to my family... -What?

Leave us out of it. And do not use my husband’s name.

Listen, Mrs...

(DIAL TONE)

She hung up.

(SIGHS)

Let's go for a walk.

-(ALL CLAMORING) -MAN: Mr. President!

Tell them what they need to know.

MAN: Mr. President. Thank you.

FRANCIS: Hello.
