I want you to run for governor
against Mac Cullen.

I know my city
and I know my state.

I know the dark side of us
as well as the good.

We've got the tape.
It'll work.

Reporter: The images show incumbent
governor Mac Cullen

on a recent trip to Miami
with... a close friend?

Miller:
I'm doing a story,

taking a deeper look
at Tom Kane.

- O'Hare.
- Tom: Yeah.

How long before it's done?

Stone: They're gonna put on
some extra security at night.

But we come in the morning and we
find these piles of dirt from the night.

I spoke to Emma
last week.

Meredith:
Emma's a liability.

Do I need to remind you
the danger she poses?

Dr. Harris: It's called Lewy body.
There is no known cure.

Are you aware that your husband
has been to see Dr. Harris?

She's a neurologist.

Maybe there's something that
the public should know?

( Sighs )

( Chimes )

( Beeping )

- ( Bangs washer )
- ( Sighs )

What are you doing?

Washing my sheets.

- Why?
- Spilled some wine.

- It's 3:00 in the morning.
- I know.

Why don't you use
the machine?

( Sighs )

I can't turn it on.

Why are you here?

I don't know.

What does it matter?

Does it matter?

No.

Meredith.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

Leave those for the maid.

Oh, I've been coming here
since I was about your age.

The only difference now
is that back then

a side of fries
cost a quarter.

- How about a bite, sir?
- Huh? Oh yeah!

- ( Camera clicks )
- ( Laughing )

Mm.

Well, a pleasure
having lunch with you.

I hope I can count
on your vote.

Gotta get 'em young.

- They want a few questions.
- Fuckin' fat, salt, sugar. Fuckin' shit.

Why do you keep setting
these things up in diners?

My fucking
stomach lining-- Jesus.

We asked them to stay away from
the whole airport tape thing,

- but we can't guarantee--
- all right, I'll do it.

Dilip: All right, everyone, the governor
will take a few questions.

Let's try to
keep today happy.

Yeah, Andy.

Zajac's bump in the polls--
it's sticking, sir.

Yeah, it's an entrance
applause.

Besides, at this stage
in the game,

checking polls is like
digging up your garden

- to see how everything's growing.
- ( Laughter )

- Andy: Two weeks out?
- The metaphor still holds. Next.

- A quick follow-up, sir.
- Yeah.

The young man with you
at the airport--

can you finally confirm the
nature of your relationship?

There is no relationship.

- Woman: So he's not your lover, sir?
- No, he is not.

Man: There are rumors that you
were paying for his services.

Come on, Jim, you know me
better than that.

I mean for one thing,
it's illegal--

- buying sex, not homosexuality.
- They're in it now.

- Tom: Who's in the pack?
- Salazar.

- Ask him.
- Yep.

Flight records
indicate that you've

traveled to Miami
six times.

Governor, flight records
indicate that you've traveled

to Miami six times
in the past two months.

What exactly was the nature
of these trips?

Those trips were, uh,
personal in nature.

And by personal--

- what were you doing in Miami?
- What were you doing in Miami?

What were you doing
in Miami, sir?

The nature of those trips
is personal.

- I don't need to justify--
- hit him again.

Why have you been
going to Miami?

You know, I have
a tremendous amount of respect

for the gay community.

- This is not about that.
- Again.

Miami, sir-- why have
you been going there?

My record will show
my strong support--

- again.
- Please answer the question, sir.

- Miami?
- Even at great personal risk...

Sometimes...

- He's done.
- Yep.

Thank you for coming.

I'm not sure I had
much of a choice.

One of the greatest engineering
feats of the 19th century.

Men bold enough to believe
they could do the impossible--

change the river's flow.

They did it.

Some things
are not reversible.

You should have told me
what to expect,

about the side effects.

The only thing I prescribed
to you was Xanax.

We are both in predicaments
we did not choose.

I am sorry

about the overzealousness
of certain communications.

The method was unintended.

You have my word
it won't happen again.

What happened?

I wet the bed this morning,
pissed myself.

How much rivastigmine
are you taking?

- 6mg.
- Cut it down to 2mg.

Stay away from coffee and alcohol.
Avoid antihistamines.

This is for ditropan.
It's common.

Controls urination.

Once a day
in the morning.

- Did you bring it?
- Yes.

I still think
it's a mistake.

It's a lot to take in.

I want to know.

Our research indicates he's now
seen as a serious opponent,

so marketing suggests
going with this line--

darker suits,
maybe gray in the hair.

We're testing
regional issues

for inclusion in his current platform
as well as generating

a statewide sector-specific list
of topics he should avoid.

We've scheduled face time
with Danziger

of the Illinois
corn growers coalition,

the head of the northeastern
Illinois federation of labor.

His name is--

Chuck Deakins.

And he doesn't need
any face time with him

because they are already
good friends.

And just to clarify,
he has no intentions

of changing his suits
or his hair.

He's going to do something
radical in this election.

He's going to run
a response-based campaign.

Listen, respond and win.

There's two weeks
left, okay?

If he goes with tired
insider-versus-outsider formulas,

experience versus
the future,

he knows he may as well
call it quits right now.

It's a primary.

These are voters who engage, okay?
They give a shit.

Tired formulas means they'll slot
him into a box and they'll move on.

And they won't listen
to anything he has to say

because they'll believe
they already know his answers.

Branding will kill him.

So instead, he's going
to ask his team to craft

the message as they go.

Win every cycle,
tailor every moment,

day by day,
hour by hour.

How do you avoid looking
like a flip-flopper?

Stick to the truth.

For most people they only know
one such thing.

See, it's when you get
into all of this

that it just becomes
another shapeable factor.

So we've set a 4:00
with natural propane gas

and a 4:30 with service
employees international union.

- Will you be there?
- No.

We have to maintain
the appearance of impartiality.

Both are establishing
PACs for you.

And as long
as you're in town,

we recommend the Chicago
lawyers' committee for civil rights.

They can do
a 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

- You've closed all the blinds.
- Yeah...

I have.

I don't think
it's a good idea.

Me neither.

And an 11:00 coffee

with the international
brotherhood of teamsters.

I think there's a good chance
we can get them to...

( Zipper )

( Gasps, moans )

...Switch their support.

God damn it,
I'll just tell the truth.

Fuckin' homo bullshit!

Sir, if you take
Torossian's money,

it will put
a spotlight on Miami.

So I'll just come out--

I'll admit to it.
My bad.

So I went over the limitation
on out-of-state contributions.

Shit happens.

People will at least understand
that the travel was for money,

not fuckin',
you know-- Jesus.

We've run the hypotheticals. And in
every iteration, it is better for you

to remain ambiguous
about your sexual orientation

than to admit to taking
illegal amounts

of out-of-state money.

Are you telling me
it's better

if people think
I suck cock?

No offense.

( Mouthing words )

Sir, you are up three points
with Asian Americans.

Oh? Good.
Why?

Apparently, they...

Approve of your
taste in men.

Yo, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Your guys at O'Hare
sitting on their asses all day?

As long as the city
writes you a check every week,

there's no point
in completing the job, right?

There have been
a couple of obstacles.

Obstacles?

- But the work is progressing.
- Yeah, at night.

Then it's--
it's crazy over there.

What's going on that we're not
supposed to see?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

And this-- this is over.

What happened to your head?

Car accident.
Thank you for the concern.

Please go.

Okay.

Well, here's my card.

You can throw it away
if you want.

- Thank you for your time.
- Yeah.

( Dial tones beeping )

Lalo?

( Speaking Spanish )

Where's the, uh, exit?

( Continues in Spanish )

( Receiver clicks )

His teacher say he was playing
on the monkey bars,

swinging upside down
and he fall.

She send him
to the school nurse

and she say Desmond
just bump his head,

but ever since that time
he been acting queer.

- How do you mean? Tired?
- Yes, he sleep more and more.

Does he seem confused?

Maybe, but he's always
waking up from a nap,

- so he just seems groggy, you know?
- Okay.

- Does he have headaches?
- He says they go away when he sleep.

- Is he going to be all right?
- Yeah, of course.

I can tell a strong healthy boy
when I see one.

But just to be safe, let's have
the doctor take a look at him.

He'll be here within the hour.
Do you mind waiting?

No, it's this
or the emergency room

and I don't have
that magic little card.

Well, I'm glad we can help.

Desmond! Desmond!

Oh my God,
what's going on?

Hold him down
and watch his mouth.

In three-- we need
valproate now!

We're out of valproate.

Emma: Well, try the old
supply cabinet.

We ran out last week.
We don't have any.

Tegretol or depakote?

Desmond!

- ( Gurgling )
- Call 911.

Aricept, 23ml.

Exelon, I could only
get them at 3mg,

so you're going to have
to split them.

That comes in a patch too,

so let me know if you want
to try it that way.

Reminyl.
The generic's cheaper-- Galantamine.

I don't trust it.
You get what you pay for.

Let me know what you want.
Everything else is here.

Ari at 3, ex at 2,
remi at 7--

can we hurry this up?

- You want to shop somewhere else?
- No.

If you think that private
corporations like Scientia

can do a better job
of running our schools

than the people
that we elected,

then why don't we just let them
run the whole country?

Education is not
a consumer product.

It is an inalienable right
guaranteed to all of us.

If we sell this right
to profiteers,

we defeat the purpose
of education

to create thinking citizens capable
of governing themselves.

I for one am not willing
to give that up

so that Scientia can dictate
how my kids learn

based on their
return-on-investment projections--

- your two minutes is up.
- No no.

It is up to me
to decide that

when I go to the ballot box
and elect my school board.

That's how it is done
in a free democracy.

- Thank you.
- ( Applause )

Hi, everyone.

Forgive me for
dropping in unannounced,

but the matters involved here
are too important.

When I went to school,
this country was number one

in the world
in math and science.

Today we're 48th.
48th.

Underperforming schools--
that's the real threat

to our children's freedom
and future.

By outsourcing
school services

like lunches, janitorial work
and transportation,

we can increase the salaries
of deserving teachers.

And because private companies
are not bound by any union,

they can and will
fire those teachers

who are doing a bad job,
regardless of tenure.

Our purpose, after all,
is to educate children,

not to protect
bad teachers.

Does it make sense
to pay inflated prices

for basketballs
and school supplies

when they can be
bought in bulk

and allocated across
several school districts

for a fraction of the cost?

Now those costs
are being put on you,

on your children,
on their learning.

The problems in our
public schools are fixable,

but we have to get our heads
out of the clouds

and do the math.

This is not a problem
of ideology;

it's about what works.

I think we all want
what works.

Thanks for listening.

Meredith: I'm so glad
to finally meet you.

My husband has told me
great things about you.

I've been meaning to call you
about a project I'm spearheading

over at children's memorial--
a neurology wing.

- I'd really love your input on--
- I'm sorry, Mrs. Kane,

but I really can't discuss anything
about your husband with you.

Excuse me.

Narrator:
Weakness is progressive,

muscle wasting
and muscle fasciculation,

spasticity
in the arms and legs

and overactive
tendon reflexes.

Neurological tests indicate upper
and lower neuron degeneration,

often eliciting
the Babinski sign.

Transcranial stimulations
and Enbrel injections

directly into
the spinal vein

so far have proven
ineffective,

as have stem cell
transplantation

and gene therapy.

Stone:
Tom...

What do you want to do?

With Solomou?

Yeah.

Sir, if I may,
I just wanted to say

his loyalty has never
been in question.

This was the first vote
he ever broke ranks on.

My guess is he was sure the ordinance
would pass without his vote and--

- when is he up for re-election?
- This year.

Tell him he's going alone.

Sir, can I tell him?

Thank you.

( Speaking Spanish )

Alderman Mata?
Excuse me.

What's your connection
with Alberto ruiz, sir?

- I know you.
- I know who you are.

You know who I am.
We know who he is.

- Maybe we should stop and talk.
- No.

Was it true he was given the
contract at your insistence?

Maybe you know why his
workers are being paid

to sit around
and do nothing.

What about you?
Will you talk?

Say something?
Here, here's my card.

- ( Honks )
- Nice people.

Get stone on the phone.

( Laughing )

- ( Both laughing )
- Okay.

You can't just ask him?

Things are too complicated
with my father.

He's not really someone
you ask for help.

So what are you
trying to say?

I thought that maybe
you'd know some way

of getting
the medicine for less.

( Scoffs )

Well, it's the main burden
of the clinic.

If-- if we can't find a way
of getting it for cheaper,

then they're going
to close it down.

So you want to go
into business with me?

I just don't want
to lose the clinic.

You sure you know
what you're doing?

That's all right.
I shouldn't have asked.

No no.

( Sighs )

I'll see what I can do.

Okay?

Man: I don't know what
I can do for you, Mac.

I'm asking for a runway, just
enough to see us through the primary.

Yeah, but we've been
here before.

You promised me O'Hare.

Yeah, and you could've
gotten it

if Kane hadn't decided to fuck
over the rest of Illinois.

It happened
under your watch.

It can come around again.

How's it going
to be different?

Each day
is its own battle.

What I want right now,
what I'm asking,

is to be in a position
to take another look at it

when it does come around.

And I promise you,
when it does this time,

you'll be
the happy beneficiary,

guaranteed.

Here's what I know, Mac.

There are contracts
right now in the hands

of some spic alderman
and his spic kind--

Moco what have you.

And I'm left with
my thumb up my ass

and my hard-working
American crews

out in the cold
with no jobs,

all because I backed
the wrong horse.

It's a big state.
I'll find you something great.

20 shopping malls--
that's what we're looking at

when we're looking
at O'Hare money.

How long have
we been friends, Jerry?

Come on.

- I think we're about finished here.
- There's still a fight here.

Don't get emotional.
I'm talking about investment.

You couldn't be doing this
to me at a worse time,

I swear to God.

Come back to me when
you've got something real.

Then we can talk.
Quid pro quo.

You have a good day now.

You know, they ought
to give some free concerts

in the city this summer.

Split them up between Ravinia
and Millennium Park.

We've got the number-one
symphony in the country.

We ought to give the people
who actually live here

a chance to hear it sometime.

- Hey, Jack. Good to see ya.
- Tom.

You've met Suzannah.

Yes, of course.
Lovely to see you again.

- You know stony.
- Hi.

Oh, Stravinsky.
Dear God.

We have an understanding--
she gets season tickets

to the symphony,
I get them to the Cubs.

And every once in a while
we force each other to go.

Cubbies? You poor thing.
How could you?

Say, tell that music critic
of yours to throw

a good line or two in
about the C.S.O.

Tell? I don't know.
I can suggest it.

Music critics answer
only to God and Mozart.

- ( Laughter )
- Jack, Suzannah.

( Cell phone buzzes )

I'll be right back.

Yeah. Whiskey, two.
Glenlivet rocks?

This is stone.

I've been trying
to reach you.

It's this guy from
"The Chicago Sentinel"-- Miller.

His questions are getting
more pertinent.

- Are you answering them?
- No, of course not.

He interviewed Ruiz too.

- And?
- Nothing.

He listens much better now.

Good.
Keep it that way.

- Mata.
- Oh, thank you.

A reporter sniffing
around O'Hare.

- A problem?
- No, not yet.

- What paper?
- "The Sentinel."

Bentley.
He's right over there.

Too soon for that.

Until it's something
it's nothing

and we don't want to shine
a light on nothing.

- Cheers.
- Yes indeed.

Quid pro quo.

12 years he got every contract
he asked for.

Swink wouldn't exist
without me.

Fucking O'Hare!

If only we had known back then
how much losing it

would come back
to haunt us.

- You have an opinion?
- No, sir.

We could try
a Barton, sir.

- What?
- David Barton.

He used Facebook and got
20,000 hits in one day.

Fields, when he ran
for Lieutenant Governor,

won the primary
by 5,000 votes.

Said it never would've happened
without social media.

What we do is
we put your face

to the right
of your profile page--

what is this, the fucking
children's crusade?

This is a primary.
Pri-ma-ry.

We're talking about
political obsessives,

medicaiders, nothing-to-doers,
geriatrics.

Who the fuck else cares
about primaries?

And you're showing me
fucking Facebook?

For them
it's a photo album.

Get that thing
out of my face.

Reporter: You're watching
the infamous footage here,

of course, of the intimate moment
caught on tape

between the governor and what is
purported to be his male escort.

Move on,
for the love of God!

Mayor Kane, who has remained
conspicuously silent...

Wait.

...was asked if the current Cullen
controversy would have any effect

on his recent show of support
for the governor.

Oh, you know me, guys.

I've always been
an independent thinker.

I'm not about
to change that now.

That's it:

Generous, fair,
non-judgmental.

He just buried me alive.

Sir, what if you went
and talked to him?

He hasn't committed himself
one way or the other.

Maybe he just needs you
to ask for his help.

You really do want to see me
suck cock, don't you?

The kid's got something.
Took me by surprise too.

I know.
Let's just say it.

- He's got it all-- the youth, the looks...
- Wife and kids.

( Laughs )
Makes perfect sense.

But is he coming in
too soon?

There is a youth vote,
but it isn't big, not in a primary.

I've got him beat with men
over 50, so it's a wash.

He's nine points ahead
with women,

but can he hold on
to that with Walsh?

That's what I'm afraid of.
He's untested.

It's a big risk--
too big.

( Chuckles )

15 years.

We've made
a great team, Tom.

Send me back to Springfield
one more time

and we can groom the kid
together.

I'm telling you,
in four years I guarantee you

he'll be able
to take on the world.

Four years?

Four years.

Panem et circenses.

Tom?

Panem et circenses.

We have neglected
our duties.

The people wait
for only bread and circuses.

You okay, Tom?

Am I okay?

- Yeah yeah. You seem to--
- Am I okay?

Moral turpitude--

that's what I want
to talk about.

You know why?

Because even though
I am a bad man

and have done
some bad fucking things,

I've always known why.

And when I look into the face
of another bad man,

I see his deeds and I know
his fucking soul.

You know what I see
when I look at you, Mac?

A piece of shit,
a stain,

a man whose moral turpitude
taints the office he has

sworn to uphold,

compromises the people
he has sworn to serve

and who doesn't even have
the fucking competence

to do bad things well.

You don't deserve
your position.

You don't deserve
your place and title.

What you have...

I gave you.

You want to help me?

You don't have
the stuff it takes.

So thank you

for your offer
to help, governor,

but I'm afraid
I must decline.

Get the fuck
out of my office.

Excuse me, sir.

It's the right way to go.

We need fresh blood.

I'm right with you, Tom.

We'll make it work.

- What was that about?
- What do you mean?

In there with Cullen,
what just happened?

He gave us an opening.
Why didn't we take it?

The mayor has decided
to double down

on the state treasurer
for governor.

Is there something about that
that you don't understand?

- No.
- Good.

Come in.

That is not a feature
on Tom Kane.

It was. It led
into something else.

Corruption in Chicago?

That's not news.
That's a history lesson.

That's because you don't know
where I'm going with it.

Okay, where are you
going with it?

I am dropping
one bread crumb at a time

to heighten
the suspense.

You know,
like Hitchcock--

the way he tells you
only what he wants you to know

when he wants you to know it,
to keep you on the edge of your seat?

Only more horrifying

with lots
of plot twists.

Just get me
the fuckin' story.

I didn't tell you to stop.

That's right.

Do what you do
without me.

"The steed does not retain
its speed forever."

( Pills rattling )

Well, to put it
more colloquially,

the old gray mayor--

he ain't what he used to be.

You know,
the biggest difference

between the old gray mare
and the old gray mayor?

Peristalsis--

the muscular motion
in the digestive track

that moves the food
toward the belly.

The mare has a throat that's
twice as large as the mayor.

So the animal can easily swallow pills
as large as hockey pucks,

but the two-footed mayor--

he gags and chokes
and heaves,

finally inducing
reverse peristalsis,

which is just a $10 word
for "vomits."

( Laughing )

My kingdom...

For a horse.

( Laughing )

No no, that's fine,

as long as you bring him
back early.

No, he's got a soccer game
at 9:00.

Okay, just tell him
I love him

and I'll see him
in the morning.

Please stay where you are.
Don't run, don't scream.

It's not
in your interest.

What do you want?

I'm here to discuss
your relocation.

Relocation?

You'll be picked up
in the morning at 9:00--

you and Max.

Whatever you can't take
will be sent.

This is not a request.

Where?

That's not important
right now.

You'll be
comfortable there.

- How long for?
- Permanently.

Well, what about my work?
This house? People will ask--

you don't have to
concern yourself with that.

Wh-- what if I say no?

You don't want
your ex-husband

to have sole custody
of your son.

I didn't tell her anything.

I didn't even know
she'd be there.

We know.

We just want to ensure
your comfort and safety.

( Truck approaching )

Boy: Now it's a machine gun.

( Ben laughing ) A cow
with a machine gun?

Cows don't have machine guns.
Rawr!

Hey, I just have a couple
of last-minute changes

- I want to go over with you.
- I'm a cow.

Okay. Be quiet.
Sit still.

All right, so I think we should
tread really lightly

on the listen
versus the respond.

Just keep it really upbeat.
Trust they're going to get it.

- Meet me later.
- Your kids are right there.

I know.
Meet me later.

We should start soon.

The boys are so loaded up
on sugar,

I think we'll have to
tie them down with anchors.

Not exactly the message
we want to convey.

No.

Thank you for taking
such good care of him.

And the mayor's support?
We feel incredibly blessed.

- Don't we?
- Blessed. Yes, we do.

- We do.
- It's our pleasure.

- All right, back to work.
- Yeah.

- I think we should.
- Bye.

All right, back to work.
You, come here.

( Laughing )

( Chattering )

( Chatter continues )

Come on.

- Man: Action!
- So how do we fix what's broken?

Empty promises?
Cookie-cutter solutions?

Things that haven't
worked before won't again.

And business as usual will
give us the usual business.

We need to listen
to each other,

respond to our real concerns
with real solutions.

This isn't about
left/right, rich/poor;

it's about fixing
what's wrong for all of us.

Right, buddy?

Together we can create
a brighter tomorrow

for our children
and our children's children.

One hour from now.
Come on, say yes.

No.

Ben.

Good job today.

Ben:
Are they buckled in?

- Maggie: No.
- ( Ben laughs )

Did it ever bother you
that of the three mayors

assassinated
in this country,

two were from Chicago?

Harrison and Cermak.

Of course, the most that can
be said of Harrison's death

is that it put a damper on the
World's Columbia Exposition.

But Cermak--

thousands packed into
Chicago Stadium for his funeral,

as if getting hit by the bullet
intended for Roosevelt

made him some kind
of fuckin' hero.

Galling, really.

Cermak's
real accomplishments--

defeating Big Bill Thompson and
bringing the city's factions together,

things that took real guts.

Nobody remembers those.

They don't care about what he did
as mayor when he was alive.

All they remember
is how he died--

taking a bullet
for Roosevelt.

As if he had
some choice.

- Do you even know who I am?
- Woman: He does.

You looked like you could use
a little something.

Oh.

We went for
a nice walk today.

He knows everyone.

You'd think he were
still the mayor.

He appreciates this,
you know,

your taking the time
to visit him.

How do you know?

I know when he feels good.

- It's in his eyes.
- Hmm.

And I know when he doesn't,
when he needs something.

You're tired.

Camden Waste. Dara Prescott.
Let's talk trash.

Hi, this is Sam Miller
with "The Chicago Sentinel."

Yes, Sam Miller
of "The Chicago Sentinel,"

what can I do for you?

I'm doing an article
about the cost effectiveness

of interstate waste exportation

and I was wondering
if I could ask you

- a couple of questions.
- Shoot.

A-- a barge left the Port of Chicago
two nights ago.

- Can you tell me if it's arrived yet?
- Just a minute.

A barge carrying
2,178 tons

arrived
at the transfer station

at 8:23
Eastern Standard Time.

That would be us.

And can you tell me
what the waste consisted of?

The shipment will go through a
waste identification process tomorrow.

But whatever it is,
it ain't pretty,

- I can tell you that.
- What do you mean?

It's got this
sick chemical smell,

like if you mixed orange juice
and Mr. Clean.

Thank you, Dara.
You've been very helpful.

Oh, Inspector Gadget.

- Hey, man.
- Hey.

- How ya doing?
- ( Chuckles )

Working hard?

Resentment, anger,
bitterness--

they'll make you sick,
like drinking poison

and expecting
someone else to die.

And the pain
of feeling wronged,

of feeling righteous
is an addiction,

twists you up,
corrodes you inside.

An addiction--

an addiction you cannot
break by yourself.

You have to turn to him.

Ask him to show you how

because he will not
leave you

alone in the dark.

His compassion
sounds loud,

his Grace casts
a blinding light

and he will show you
the way.

He is present always,

everywhere,

for in him we live and move
and have our being.

Trust in him.

Surrender to him.

Ask him for help

and he will respond.

( Phone ringing )

Woman: Rush University
Medical Center, can I help you?

Yes, can you connect me with
Dr. Harris in neurology, please?

One moment, please.

I'm sorry, but Dr. Harris no
longer works at this hospital.

Ma'am?

Yes, um,

I don't suppose she left a number
where she can be reached?

No, I'm sorry.
She didn't.

Thanks.

I thought we agreed
to start things slowly--

phone calls,
that kind of thing.

I wanted to see you.

You're pretty good
up there.

Well, I'm trying
to lighten it up a bit.

- You're a natural.
- Like my father.

( Chuckles )
Yeah.

What do you want, Dad?

Lewy body.

Some kind of protein

up here

causes progressive
decline--

mental, physical.

There is no cure.

I have it.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Does mom know?

No.

No one knows.
Just you.

And that's-- that's why
you've been calling,

why you've been
showing up.

- I wanted to see you.
- Why?

- I thought--
- What?

That I'd take care of you?

Go with you
on your doctor visits,

sit by you
in your hospital bed?

I'm not that person.
You're not that person.

I'm sorry.

Did you-- did you ever
think to come here

just because
you missed me?

Maybe because you just
wanted to see me?

- I did. I do.
- No.

The only thing
you care about is you--

what you want,
what you need.

I'm sorry, Dad.
It's too late.

There's nothing here.

- Emma, wait.
- What did you expect?

- ( Phone rings )
- Hello?

- Man: Mr. Miller?
- Yeah, this is Miller.

Geo Labs.

I've got the results for the
water sample you sent over.

( Jazz music playing )

It's nice of him
to send you.

You must have known
this would be the end.

Why did you do it?

Sometimes a vote
is just a vote.

Right, but you knew
this would happen.

So what are you
going to do now?

I'm not sure--

go back to teaching.

Then again maybe not.

I don't know that
I'm the one to inspire others

towards a life in politics.

You inspired me.

It's funny.

I've spent a lot of time
imagining the future,

trying to envision
how the end would come.

And when it does,
it's got nothing to do

with the people
you're serving

or what you had hoped
you'd accomplish.

It's just politics.

I hope it'll be
different for you.

( Sighs )

Buy you a drink?

Oh, no thanks.

It's been a long day.

Yeah.

Yeah, mine too.

You sure?

Mike here makes
a mean Martini.

- Oh hey, what are you doing?
- Shut up.

Sit still.

( Grunts )

Okay.

Let's go.

Stone: Something Homeland Security
said about us having

the best surveillance
of any city in the country.

Now the ACLU's up in arms.
Usual bullshit--

that a camera
on every corner,

especially ones
with facial recognition,

is a breach
of the right to privacy.

I told Myers to counter
that the government's

actually interfering less
because of them,

that they're functioning
as deterrents

and that there have been
fewer arrests

because citizens are actually
self-monitoring their behavior

because they know
they're being watched.

Anyway, that's it.

We can deal with it
in the morning.

- Have a good night.
- You too.

Watch yourself.
