1
00:00:00,198 --> 00:00:02,044
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:02,111 --> 00:00:04,680
Country won't recover
until we have a vice president.
3
00:00:04,747 --> 00:00:06,782
He won't be confirmed.
Not with what I know.
4
00:00:06,849 --> 00:00:09,084
There's nothing in my background
that'll embarrass you.
5
00:00:09,151 --> 00:00:11,687
Don't you worry about a thing.
It's done. Buried.
6
00:00:11,754 --> 00:00:13,589
- I won't forget.
- I'm counting on that.
7
00:00:13,656 --> 00:00:14,890
We own him.
8
00:00:14,957 --> 00:00:17,560
You're keeping a secret
puts the administration at risk.
9
00:00:17,626 --> 00:00:19,695
I felt it was a private thing.
10
00:00:19,762 --> 00:00:21,897
- We haven't found the crash site.
- What was on board?
11
00:00:21,964 --> 00:00:25,067
One hundred of our latest generation
Block III Stinger missiles.
12
00:00:25,134 --> 00:00:27,469
The group leader found
50 handheld launchers.
13
00:00:27,536 --> 00:00:30,072
- And the other 50?
- Missing. They're out there.
14
00:00:34,276 --> 00:00:38,147
[woman] ...civil unrest continue
in Prince George's County today.
15
00:00:38,214 --> 00:00:42,284
Many mothers, wives, and daughters
in Hyattsville and Langley Park
16
00:00:42,351 --> 00:00:44,753
have taken their concerns
to the streets.
17
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:48,891
They're fed up with the increasing
number of murders in their communities.
18
00:00:48,958 --> 00:00:51,360
They are demanding more
investigative follow up
19
00:00:51,427 --> 00:00:54,296
and increased protection
on the part of police.
20
00:00:54,363 --> 00:00:57,800
Now, county supervisors, thus far,
have declined to comment,
21
00:00:57,866 --> 00:01:00,970
but there is growing concern
the protests could escalate
22
00:01:01,036 --> 00:01:03,939
if action isn't taken soon.
23
00:01:04,006 --> 00:01:06,709
- [women chanting]
- [male reporter indistinct]
24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,503
...some protesters are
turning to other methods.
25
00:01:09,545 --> 00:01:11,347
One mother has gone
on a hunger strike
26
00:01:11,413 --> 00:01:14,016
until police arrest a suspect
in her son's slaying.
27
00:01:14,083 --> 00:01:15,484
[phone beeping]
28
00:01:17,886 --> 00:01:20,522
Carl, I knew you'd be up.
29
00:01:20,589 --> 00:01:24,059
I have someone from CRS heading
over to assess the situation.
30
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:26,595
The protests have spread
to other communities.
31
00:01:26,662 --> 00:01:28,797
All in Maryland.
I'm getting you the stats.
32
00:01:28,864 --> 00:01:31,533
Good. Good.
Carl, thanks for coming in so early.
33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,504
Oh, sure. By the way, I, uh, I was
sleeping when you called last night.
34
00:01:35,571 --> 00:01:38,207
I was doing that whole
"I was awake" thing with my voice
35
00:01:38,274 --> 00:01:40,976
in case attorney generals
aren't supposed to sleep.
36
00:01:41,043 --> 00:01:44,113
Carl, am I overreacting
to be so concerned about this?
37
00:01:44,179 --> 00:01:48,984
I don't think so. No. It doesn't take
much for protests to turn into riots.
38
00:01:49,051 --> 00:01:50,819
- I'll see you later.
- Sir.
39
00:01:50,886 --> 00:01:52,421
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
40
00:01:52,488 --> 00:01:54,990
The NSC and CIA directors
are in the Oval Office.
41
00:01:55,057 --> 00:01:58,260
Intelligence briefing isn't until 7:30.
42
00:01:59,128 --> 00:02:00,129
Thank you.
43
00:02:00,195 --> 00:02:01,563
- Morning, ma'am.
- Morning.
44
00:02:01,630 --> 00:02:05,134
Thought you'd wanna know, we've
got a lead on the missing Stingers.
45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,470
This may be the first time you've
brought me good news, Anthony.
46
00:02:08,537 --> 00:02:11,473
A field operative in Prague
was approached by a weapons dealer
47
00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:12,841
named Jan Mannus.
48
00:02:12,908 --> 00:02:16,312
He was asked to negotiate
the sale of 50 state-of-the-art
49
00:02:16,378 --> 00:02:17,713
surface-to-air missiles.
50
00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:19,515
We're sure these are our weapons?
51
00:02:19,581 --> 00:02:22,084
The third party showed one to him.
Definitely ours.
52
00:02:22,151 --> 00:02:24,219
Then he knows where
the weapons are kept.
53
00:02:24,286 --> 00:02:26,088
No. Only that when a buyer was found,
54
00:02:26,155 --> 00:02:28,490
the weapons could be
delivered inside two hours.
55
00:02:28,557 --> 00:02:31,327
Meaning every potential target
on the continent is at risk.
56
00:02:31,393 --> 00:02:34,163
Will he lead us to the seller?
Is he trustworthy?
57
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:37,066
The agency's used him
as an intelligence asset many times.
58
00:02:37,132 --> 00:02:40,102
- His information always checked out.
- Has Warren weighed in?
59
00:02:40,169 --> 00:02:43,605
We were unable to reach the vice
president this morning. I left word.
60
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:46,141
OK. Let's continue our search.
61
00:02:46,208 --> 00:02:48,777
But tell Mannus we'll work with him
if he will with us.
62
00:02:48,844 --> 00:02:50,412
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
63
00:02:51,347 --> 00:02:54,550
You're known for being tough on terror,
but with the Templeton Act,
64
00:02:54,616 --> 00:02:57,052
you've turned your focus
to domestic crime.
65
00:02:57,119 --> 00:02:59,088
Why the shift?
Is it, as some are saying,
66
00:02:59,154 --> 00:03:02,391
a chance for you to pander
to panicked soccer moms
67
00:03:02,458 --> 00:03:04,426
in a rumored presidential bid?
68
00:03:04,493 --> 00:03:06,895
You know, listen, this bill of mine
69
00:03:06,962 --> 00:03:09,565
streamlines the appeals process,
70
00:03:09,631 --> 00:03:12,568
closes the loopholes in Three Strikes,
71
00:03:12,634 --> 00:03:16,605
increases the mandatory
minimum for drug offenders.
72
00:03:16,672 --> 00:03:19,775
If you take criminals
off the streets, Gordon,
73
00:03:19,842 --> 00:03:21,710
crime is reduced, end of story.
74
00:03:21,777 --> 00:03:25,881
Mr. Speaker, you've had a long
and remarkable career,
75
00:03:25,948 --> 00:03:29,084
and yet you've never attached
your name to a bill before.
76
00:03:29,151 --> 00:03:32,454
Is it fair to say this is the one
you want to be remembered by?
77
00:03:32,521 --> 00:03:37,960
Honestly?
Nothing would make me prouder.
78
00:03:38,327 --> 00:03:41,597
If the Templeton Act lands on the
president's desk in its current form,
79
00:03:41,663 --> 00:03:43,532
she'll be forced to veto it.
80
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,801
I don't know how much
simpler I can put it.
81
00:03:45,868 --> 00:03:48,604
The speaker's bill
focuses on punishment and prisons.
82
00:03:48,670 --> 00:03:51,006
The president believes
that the taxpayer money
83
00:03:51,073 --> 00:03:53,375
is better spent on policing
and prevention.
84
00:03:53,442 --> 00:03:54,476
[knocking]
85
00:03:54,543 --> 00:03:59,348
Well, look, I would take more cops
over more stockades any day.
86
00:03:59,415 --> 00:04:02,818
Yes, that's on the record.
You're welcome.
87
00:04:03,619 --> 00:04:05,320
[sighs] Walk you to senior staff?
88
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:08,757
Know what's sad? That's as close as
I've come to being asked out in weeks.
89
00:04:08,824 --> 00:04:12,127
I know. If you come to work when
it's dark, and leave when it's dark,
90
00:04:12,194 --> 00:04:13,829
did the day actually happen?
91
00:04:13,896 --> 00:04:16,165
Keep this up and
you're going to get jilted.
92
00:04:16,231 --> 00:04:17,933
Josh has been calling me Lady Di.
93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,136
Because, you see, there are
three people in this marriage.
94
00:04:21,203 --> 00:04:23,071
Speaking of which,
did you ask her yet?
95
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:26,408
The president? No. I don't want
to put her on the spot like that.
96
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:29,578
Far be it from me to advise anyone
on their personal life,
97
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:32,347
but she'd be hurt if you didn't
ask her to the ceremony.
98
00:04:32,414 --> 00:04:35,050
- Someone getting married?
- Something like that.
99
00:04:37,152 --> 00:04:39,488
[Jim] Where are we
on this airline pilot strike?
100
00:04:39,555 --> 00:04:42,257
NLRB is scheduling mediation
for Tuesday next.
101
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:45,661
Catch Templeton peddling his crime bill
on Gordon Blake this morning?
102
00:04:45,727 --> 00:04:48,897
- Does anyone watch Gordon Blake?
- Did somebody change the subject?
103
00:04:48,964 --> 00:04:51,700
- What's the latest tally?
- Closer than it was in the house,
104
00:04:51,767 --> 00:04:54,670
- but still expected to gain passage.
- She can't veto.
105
00:04:54,736 --> 00:04:57,406
Why can't she?
106
00:04:57,473 --> 00:04:58,474
- Ma'am.
- Please.
107
00:04:58,540 --> 00:05:00,642
With the hit we took
with the AG confirmation,
108
00:05:00,709 --> 00:05:03,145
we're better off grabbing
the speaker's coattails.
109
00:05:03,212 --> 00:05:04,446
I'm a former prosecutor.
110
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:08,016
I don't need the speaker's coattails
to prove that I'm tough on crime.
111
00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:10,819
But you stop it with more police,
more education,
112
00:05:10,886 --> 00:05:13,889
more community involvement,
not harsher sentencing.
113
00:05:13,956 --> 00:05:16,258
That nuance doesn't play
in a 30-second spot.
114
00:05:16,325 --> 00:05:18,727
Sage advice, but I'm vetoing the bill.
What's next?
115
00:05:18,794 --> 00:05:21,530
Advance expects coverage
at the first gentleman's speech
116
00:05:21,597 --> 00:05:23,198
at the Youth Council gala.
117
00:05:23,265 --> 00:05:25,834
Teen People hopes to do a blurb
on Horace attending.
118
00:05:25,901 --> 00:05:28,303
Let's stick to the rule.
No press for the kids.
119
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:29,905
Vince. Need me?
120
00:05:29,972 --> 00:05:33,342
Actually, Mr. Gardner has a visitor
calling from the northwest gate.
121
00:05:33,408 --> 00:05:37,646
Louis Highsmith. Said you might
know him better as Bobo?
122
00:05:41,316 --> 00:05:43,352
Excuse me.
123
00:05:46,121 --> 00:05:48,357
- [horns honking]
- [whistle blows]
124
00:05:48,423 --> 00:05:50,893
- [screaming]
- [sirens]
125
00:05:57,032 --> 00:05:58,534
- [man] Mr. Calloway!
- Hi!
126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,469
[screaming continues]
127
00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:07,543
Want an autograph?
128
00:06:07,609 --> 00:06:08,810
- Yes.
- All right.
129
00:06:08,877 --> 00:06:11,079
- Thank you so much.
- Will you sign my t-shirt?
130
00:06:11,146 --> 00:06:13,315
- Sure.
- Hey, Horace,
131
00:06:13,382 --> 00:06:15,751
stick to paper if you know
what's good for you.
132
00:06:15,817 --> 00:06:17,986
- Thank you.
- Have a good one.
133
00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:20,422
- Do you want an autograph?
- Actually...
134
00:06:30,232 --> 00:06:31,667
[chuckles]
135
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:36,171
Jimmy, it's good to see you, man.
136
00:06:36,238 --> 00:06:39,007
- I know this is out of the blue...
- It's been a while.
137
00:06:39,074 --> 00:06:42,844
Well, I've seen you on TV
and in the papers
138
00:06:42,911 --> 00:06:45,514
and, you know, I've never been one
to ask for favors...
139
00:06:45,581 --> 00:06:49,084
I'm sorry. I got a conference call.
You mind walking while we talk?
140
00:06:49,151 --> 00:06:51,253
Sure, sure.
141
00:06:52,287 --> 00:06:55,324
That Creole place still there?
What was it called? Big Tiny?
142
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:59,628
Nah, that got torn down years ago.
Low income high-rise there now.
143
00:06:59,695 --> 00:07:02,297
- You got the write-up on the summit?
- Within the hour.
144
00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:07,369
You remember Theresa, right?
145
00:07:07,436 --> 00:07:10,606
- Probably heard we got married.
- I did, yeah. How's she doin'?
146
00:07:12,574 --> 00:07:15,611
She got killed, man.
147
00:07:15,677 --> 00:07:18,780
Four days ago. Shot.
148
00:07:28,223 --> 00:07:31,660
[sobbing]
149
00:07:31,727 --> 00:07:34,096
I'm so sorry.
150
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:37,366
Some punk looking for drug money.
151
00:07:37,432 --> 00:07:39,835
I'd just dropped her off at work.
152
00:07:39,901 --> 00:07:43,672
Maybe 20 feet away
from where it happened.
153
00:07:44,873 --> 00:07:47,976
Police haven't even
taken my statement yet.
154
00:07:48,043 --> 00:07:51,113
- Well, I'm sure that they will.
- No, they won't. They don't.
155
00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:54,349
The last six months, 11 people
have been killed in Hyattsville.
156
00:07:54,416 --> 00:07:57,486
Terry's the 12th.
And nobody's done anything.
157
00:07:59,421 --> 00:08:01,189
We got kids, me and Terry.
158
00:08:01,256 --> 00:08:06,495
I can't tell them their mother's
a number no one gives a damn about.
159
00:08:06,561 --> 00:08:09,598
Excuse me, Mr. Gardner.
The call's on the line.
160
00:08:13,502 --> 00:08:16,038
I'm not sure what I can do here.
161
00:08:20,909 --> 00:08:25,714
Yeah, well, just whatever
you can see your way to.
162
00:08:30,786 --> 00:08:32,421
I'll let you get back to work.
163
00:08:33,588 --> 00:08:35,957
Vince will show you out.
164
00:08:36,024 --> 00:08:37,759
Take care of yourself.
165
00:08:43,031 --> 00:08:46,535
So, uh, was that the mysterious Bobo?
166
00:08:46,601 --> 00:08:49,371
An old friend asking for a favor.
167
00:08:49,438 --> 00:08:52,841
Oh, yeah. Give me the president's
autograph, can she abolish taxes...
168
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:57,079
- I get it all the time.
- His wife was murdered.
169
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,716
Oh. Jim, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
170
00:09:00,782 --> 00:09:04,186
[Mac indistinct]
171
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:07,089
- Dickie, good work on that focus group.
- Thank you, ma'am.
172
00:09:07,155 --> 00:09:09,024
Do you have time
to go over the results?
173
00:09:09,091 --> 00:09:10,792
Sure.
174
00:09:14,896 --> 00:09:17,733
Need something, Jim?
175
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:21,002
No, ma'am. Thank you.
176
00:09:41,757 --> 00:09:44,292
After the speech, we present
the Hagen Scholarship
177
00:09:44,359 --> 00:09:47,829
to the five young people who logged
the most hours of community service
178
00:09:47,896 --> 00:09:49,831
and call Horace up on stage.
179
00:09:49,898 --> 00:09:52,834
- Hey, that's great.
- By the way, like the beard.
180
00:09:52,901 --> 00:09:54,336
You're the only one.
181
00:09:54,402 --> 00:09:56,938
Here's one of our
scholarship winners now. Molly.
182
00:09:57,005 --> 00:10:00,075
Mr. Calloway, Horace,
meet Molly Parker.
183
00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:03,245
Molly is leading the rebuilding effort
of the Episcopal Church
184
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,647
- in her town after a tornado hit.
- [Rod] Really.
185
00:10:05,714 --> 00:10:09,351
My parents were married there.
My brother and I were baptized there.
186
00:10:09,417 --> 00:10:11,753
- Sounds cool.
- Sounds like a special place.
187
00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:14,489
- This is you.
- Excuse me.
188
00:10:14,556 --> 00:10:16,725
- Mr. Rod Calloway.
- [applause]
189
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:23,799
[Rod] Thank you.
190
00:10:23,865 --> 00:10:26,168
You know, I have spent the last hour
191
00:10:26,234 --> 00:10:29,304
listening to some of the
inspiring works being done...
192
00:10:29,371 --> 00:10:32,874
I can't believe I'm hanging out
with the president's son.
193
00:10:32,941 --> 00:10:37,345
[Rod] Well, that's not good enough.
Molly, can I speak to you?
194
00:10:37,412 --> 00:10:39,848
Uh, Molly? I'm going to
make a deal with you.
195
00:10:39,915 --> 00:10:42,551
You finish building that church,
196
00:10:42,617 --> 00:10:46,354
and I'm going to be at your very first
Sunday service. What do you think?
197
00:10:46,421 --> 00:10:48,557
- [applause]
- Fair?
198
00:10:51,827 --> 00:10:54,963
I just think there's a danger
in being seen as a president
199
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:59,034
who intervenes every time a local
crisis can't be handled locally.
200
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,403
It's hypocritical to focus
on national issues
201
00:11:01,469 --> 00:11:04,940
when this is happening in my backyard,
which is what we're talking about.
202
00:11:05,006 --> 00:11:07,375
- Sorry. Gaggle ran long.
- That's OK.
203
00:11:07,442 --> 00:11:09,611
Carl was lecturing me
on State's rights.
204
00:11:09,678 --> 00:11:12,781
Thinks I should keep my nose
out of Prince George's County.
205
00:11:12,848 --> 00:11:14,583
I was more graceful than that.
206
00:11:14,649 --> 00:11:16,618
PG County.
Isn't that where you're from?
207
00:11:19,187 --> 00:11:22,123
We've been talking about this.
Why didn't you mention it?
208
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:24,059
It didn't seem relevant.
209
00:11:24,125 --> 00:11:26,461
It's a local situation.
Not a national one.
210
00:11:26,528 --> 00:11:29,197
A president shouldn't be
concerned with local issues?
211
00:11:29,264 --> 00:11:31,533
No. I'm saying that
we risk looking like
212
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,237
- a big government in a small pond.
- The point I was trying to make.
213
00:11:35,303 --> 00:11:37,472
Ma'am, they're asking for you
in the Sit Room.
214
00:11:37,539 --> 00:11:39,975
Thank you, Vince. Uh, Jim?
215
00:11:40,041 --> 00:11:42,911
Get the Governor of Maryland.
See if we can help him out.
216
00:11:42,978 --> 00:11:44,579
Yes, ma'am.
217
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,716
And I'm telling you,
you're making a mistake.
218
00:11:47,782 --> 00:11:49,184
Ten-hut.
219
00:11:49,251 --> 00:11:51,453
Good morning to you, too, Warren.
220
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:54,055
We cannot make a deal
with this character Mannus.
221
00:11:54,122 --> 00:11:56,625
- You know him?
- We crossed paths in uniform.
222
00:11:56,691 --> 00:11:58,660
I wouldn't trust him to park my car.
223
00:11:58,727 --> 00:12:02,530
He sells weapons to terrorists and he
will find some way to double-cross us.
224
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:05,800
Ma'am, Mannus has agreed
to lead us to the missile seller.
225
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:08,236
- We've negotiated a deal with him.
- Which is?
226
00:12:08,303 --> 00:12:10,672
He's asking for a $20 million
broker's fee.
227
00:12:10,739 --> 00:12:12,741
- Is that all?
- Pretty standard rate.
228
00:12:12,807 --> 00:12:15,377
Why would he accept
a $20 million fee
229
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:17,579
when the weapons are worth
five times that?
230
00:12:17,646 --> 00:12:20,348
His associations with us
have benefited him greatly.
231
00:12:20,415 --> 00:12:22,617
- He'd be crazy to jeopardize that.
- Oh, yeah.
232
00:12:22,684 --> 00:12:25,620
An illegal arms dealer
would never do anything crazy.
233
00:12:25,687 --> 00:12:29,024
Ma'am, right now Mannus
is the only contact we have.
234
00:12:30,558 --> 00:12:33,528
The fact is, he could be
working us any number of ways.
235
00:12:33,595 --> 00:12:37,332
He could already have the weapons.
He could have lied from the beginning.
236
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:40,969
But until we find the weapons ourselves,
we need to keep using him.
237
00:12:41,036 --> 00:12:43,605
Your call, ma'am.
238
00:12:49,744 --> 00:12:52,013
Oh, just the person I wanted to see.
239
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,351
- What can I do for you, Dickie?
- Uh...
240
00:12:56,418 --> 00:12:59,187
...protect my boss and yours.
241
00:12:59,254 --> 00:13:01,623
I did some sniffing around.
242
00:13:01,690 --> 00:13:05,527
You and Vince are good buddies, right?
You socialize, hang out.
243
00:13:05,593 --> 00:13:06,628
Your point being?
244
00:13:06,695 --> 00:13:10,165
I need you to tell him,
friend to friend,
245
00:13:10,231 --> 00:13:13,101
that, in retrospect, you think
it would be a bad idea for him
246
00:13:13,168 --> 00:13:16,171
to let the president in
on his upcoming nuptials.
247
00:13:16,237 --> 00:13:17,372
Why would I do that?
248
00:13:17,439 --> 00:13:21,910
Because, it'll cross-pressure her base
with women and kill her over 65's.
249
00:13:21,977 --> 00:13:23,712
Not in the context of civil unions.
250
00:13:23,778 --> 00:13:26,247
She cannot hide behind
semantics on this issue.
251
00:13:26,314 --> 00:13:28,917
This isn't an issue.
It's Vince and his partner...
252
00:13:28,984 --> 00:13:30,185
Yes. I know.
253
00:13:30,251 --> 00:13:32,754
There's a time and place
for that sorta thing...
254
00:13:32,821 --> 00:13:35,690
...after the election cycle.
255
00:13:35,757 --> 00:13:37,192
You know what?
256
00:13:37,258 --> 00:13:40,295
This is absolutely
none of your business.
257
00:13:42,130 --> 00:13:44,032
[door slams]
258
00:13:44,466 --> 00:13:47,202
[man] As staged sit-ins
and traffic blockades increase,
259
00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:49,070
some are turning to other methods.
260
00:13:49,137 --> 00:13:52,407
One mother has gone on a hunger strike
until police arrest a suspect
261
00:13:52,474 --> 00:13:53,942
in her son's slaying.
262
00:13:54,009 --> 00:13:56,378
[Jayne] It's getting ugly out there.
263
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:59,647
Not to leave this room,
of course, but
264
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:03,585
this business in Maryland,
tragic as it is,
265
00:14:03,651 --> 00:14:06,354
couldn't have come
at a better time.
266
00:14:06,421 --> 00:14:09,624
Whip says we're holding at 52-48.
267
00:14:09,691 --> 00:14:13,528
Which means next week this time,
the Templeton Act will be law.
268
00:14:15,196 --> 00:14:16,865
Unless she vetoes, of course.
269
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,668
Jim says she's determined
to shut it down.
270
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:27,042
I guess it's safe to say
this isn't a social call.
271
00:14:27,108 --> 00:14:30,779
You have 12 unsolved murders
in one neighborhood
272
00:14:30,845 --> 00:14:32,380
and protestors on the streets.
273
00:14:32,447 --> 00:14:34,949
We're doing everything
to contain the situation.
274
00:14:35,016 --> 00:14:38,686
The president is aware of the problem
and wants to offer her help.
275
00:14:38,753 --> 00:14:42,190
Does she? Or does she just want to
make up for lost polling points?
276
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:45,126
- Governor, thank you for coming in.
- Of course.
277
00:14:45,193 --> 00:14:47,162
With all due respect,
all I'm trying to say
278
00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:49,431
is that this is a waste
of your valuable time.
279
00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:52,233
We have a problem
in Prince George's County.
280
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,069
We are taking steps to remedy it.
281
00:14:54,135 --> 00:14:55,870
Glad to hear it.
282
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:58,273
We just wanted to see
if we could help you figure out
283
00:14:58,339 --> 00:15:01,209
where your resources
might best be directed.
284
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:05,180
The funding for local law enforcement
is distributed on a per capita basis.
285
00:15:05,246 --> 00:15:10,652
Hyattsville has ten times the crime
of Bethesda, Potomac, or Chevy Chase.
286
00:15:10,718 --> 00:15:13,555
This is not a per capita issue.
You need more police officers.
287
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:15,657
Give me a grant
and I'll hire more troopers.
288
00:15:15,723 --> 00:15:19,160
Or you could re-assign troopers
to PG County
289
00:15:19,227 --> 00:15:22,163
until this murder epidemic
is under control.
290
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:28,269
All this attention on one community.
Do you mind if I ask why?
291
00:15:28,336 --> 00:15:31,606
We have to start somewhere.
We might as well start in the community
292
00:15:31,673 --> 00:15:35,276
with one of the fastest growing
crime rates in the country.
293
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:38,680
I will consider your recommendation.
294
00:15:38,746 --> 00:15:40,982
- Thank you, governor.
- Thank you.
295
00:15:44,085 --> 00:15:45,553
That went well.
296
00:15:49,924 --> 00:15:51,659
[knocking]
297
00:15:51,726 --> 00:15:53,161
Ma'am, may I?
298
00:15:54,529 --> 00:15:55,697
Warren.
299
00:15:55,897 --> 00:15:57,031
[sighs]
300
00:15:57,098 --> 00:16:00,335
I wanted to apologize
for being curt before.
301
00:16:01,736 --> 00:16:03,738
Thank you. I appreciate that.
302
00:16:03,805 --> 00:16:06,508
You've been a great help to me
in all of this.
303
00:16:06,574 --> 00:16:08,443
- Ma'am.
- Sorry to interrupt.
304
00:16:08,510 --> 00:16:11,746
The CIA just picked up some
disturbing intelligence on Mannus.
305
00:16:11,813 --> 00:16:14,149
Looks like our $20 million
didn't buy us much.
306
00:16:14,215 --> 00:16:16,518
- He made a deal to sell the missiles.
- To whom?
307
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:17,919
The Islamic Jihad Front.
308
00:16:17,986 --> 00:16:19,988
[Warren] That is what
I said would happen.
309
00:16:20,054 --> 00:16:23,191
He was never trying to get us
the missiles back. He was playing us.
310
00:16:23,258 --> 00:16:25,193
Hopefully we found out in time.
311
00:16:25,260 --> 00:16:28,429
If the Islamic Jihad Front
gets those weapons, they'll use them.
312
00:16:28,496 --> 00:16:31,833
Our focus has to be on gathering
enough intelligence to disrupt the sale
313
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:33,468
and recover the missiles.
314
00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:35,203
Tell me our intelligence is so bad,
315
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:38,072
we don't know if he's negotiating
with more than one buyer.
316
00:16:38,139 --> 00:16:40,842
He can be playing terrorist groups
off against each other
317
00:16:40,909 --> 00:16:44,012
- to jack up the price.
- Let him sell to the highest bidder.
318
00:16:44,078 --> 00:16:48,149
We'll send in CIA operatives
posing as terrorist buyers,
319
00:16:48,216 --> 00:16:50,718
make the highest bid,
get the weapons, and arrest him.
320
00:16:50,785 --> 00:16:54,756
If Mannus sells military technology
to a non-sanctioned,
321
00:16:54,822 --> 00:16:56,758
non-governmental entity,
322
00:16:56,824 --> 00:17:01,029
he's just broken about two dozen
American, Dutch, and international laws.
323
00:17:01,095 --> 00:17:03,765
Let's get on this, Tony.
We'll report back, ma'am.
324
00:17:03,831 --> 00:17:05,099
Thank you.
325
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:08,903
Did you talk to Horace or your dad?
326
00:17:08,970 --> 00:17:11,906
- Huh?
- Did you talk to Horace or your dad?
327
00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:14,242
Oh, yeah, Horace. Just now.
328
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:17,679
- Oh, I didn't hear the phone.
- He IM'd me.
329
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,814
Um, you know, instant messaging?
330
00:17:19,881 --> 00:17:22,817
When someone types you something
and you type back online,
331
00:17:22,884 --> 00:17:24,085
without having to talk.
332
00:17:24,152 --> 00:17:27,822
So you can do other things,
like surf the Net or download MP3 files.
333
00:17:27,889 --> 00:17:30,892
- Stuff like that.
- I know what IM'ing is.
334
00:17:32,493 --> 00:17:34,395
- Oh.
- Having a typed conversation
335
00:17:34,462 --> 00:17:36,864
during which you're
half paying attention.
336
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:39,834
Do you even know this person,
or is that too retro?
337
00:17:39,901 --> 00:17:44,072
- Grandma. I don't ask you about Bill.
- You could.
338
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,984
- Jim?
- Ma'am?
339
00:17:56,951 --> 00:18:01,289
Have you noticed anything unusual
about Warren lately?
340
00:18:02,357 --> 00:18:03,758
No. Why?
341
00:18:03,825 --> 00:18:08,396
I don't know if he feels under-utilized
or overburdened,
342
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:10,865
but he just hasn't been himself.
343
00:18:10,932 --> 00:18:13,534
I doubt if he'd tell you
if there were something wrong.
344
00:18:13,601 --> 00:18:16,037
He's a... private man.
345
00:18:16,104 --> 00:18:18,306
He is. As are you.
346
00:18:20,174 --> 00:18:22,944
Jim, Theresa Highsmith
347
00:18:23,011 --> 00:18:26,981
is the name of the latest
murder victim in Hyattsville.
348
00:18:27,048 --> 00:18:31,219
Any connection with your visitor
this morning?
349
00:18:35,056 --> 00:18:37,558
She was his wife.
350
00:18:39,427 --> 00:18:40,928
Why didn't you tell me?
351
00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:46,601
I didn't want to impose upon you.
I, uh...
352
00:18:46,668 --> 00:18:48,770
I didn't know what to do.
353
00:18:50,571 --> 00:18:51,873
You were close?
354
00:18:53,041 --> 00:18:55,677
We were, uh, old classmates.
355
00:18:57,078 --> 00:19:01,349
Terry and I dated actually.
I even took her to the junior prom.
356
00:19:01,416 --> 00:19:04,786
She was my first kiss.
357
00:19:07,088 --> 00:19:10,058
Feels like a million years ago.
358
00:19:11,893 --> 00:19:13,594
I wanna help if I can, Jim.
359
00:19:15,330 --> 00:19:17,765
That's up to you, ma'am.
360
00:19:17,832 --> 00:19:20,301
But I'm not asking you to.
361
00:19:32,046 --> 00:19:33,881
- [pop music]
- Hi.
362
00:19:33,948 --> 00:19:36,951
- Hey.
- I didn't think you were coming.
363
00:19:37,018 --> 00:19:40,054
Well, here I am.
364
00:19:40,121 --> 00:19:41,889
Yeah.
365
00:19:48,162 --> 00:19:49,664
[woman] In Annapolis today,
366
00:19:49,731 --> 00:19:52,300
Governor Preston kicked off
his re-election campaign
367
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:54,702
with a gala fundraiser
at the convention center.
368
00:19:54,769 --> 00:19:58,506
Extra police were called in
for the event as the popular incumbent
369
00:19:58,573 --> 00:20:01,743
drew a crowd of business
executives and political leaders.
370
00:20:01,809 --> 00:20:04,212
It's as if you never even
had the conversation.
371
00:20:04,278 --> 00:20:06,748
He'll double police presence
for a fundraiser,
372
00:20:06,814 --> 00:20:10,551
but he won't assign more to the county
with the fastest-growing crime rate.
373
00:20:10,618 --> 00:20:11,886
It's a slap in the face.
374
00:20:11,953 --> 00:20:16,824
Jim, has a sitting president
ever visited Hyattsville?
375
00:20:31,005 --> 00:20:33,574
- Nice try.
- Oh, hey.
376
00:20:34,809 --> 00:20:37,779
Sick of it already, huh?
The beard.
377
00:20:37,845 --> 00:20:41,849
- So you want to talk about this?
- Not really.
378
00:20:41,916 --> 00:20:44,385
Well, that's too bad
'cause we're going to.
379
00:20:44,452 --> 00:20:47,121
- [sighs]
- Do you care about this girl?
380
00:20:47,188 --> 00:20:48,689
- Or...
- [scoffs]
381
00:20:48,756 --> 00:20:54,195
You gotta have respect, Horace.
For yourself and...
382
00:20:54,262 --> 00:20:56,264
- ...for whomever you're with.
- I know.
383
00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:58,332
Good. Good.
384
00:20:58,399 --> 00:21:01,335
You know, sometimes the things
that we think we want,
385
00:21:01,402 --> 00:21:03,438
will get us into trouble.
386
00:21:07,275 --> 00:21:08,843
- Wow.
- I couldn't believe it.
387
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:13,414
Hey, look.
Great with my dress, right?
388
00:21:13,481 --> 00:21:16,217
Gorgeous. Love it.
389
00:21:16,284 --> 00:21:18,319
Yeah. I hope they
have a return policy.
390
00:21:18,386 --> 00:21:19,554
Why?
391
00:21:21,255 --> 00:21:23,891
We're not gonna have it.
The ceremony.
392
00:21:23,958 --> 00:21:26,961
I mean, we are, but just
the two of us and not in D.C.
393
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:30,498
- We're gonna go to Vermont.
- You're kidding me, right?
394
00:21:30,565 --> 00:21:32,633
I just think it's better this way.
395
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:35,203
Better for who?
What...? What happened?
396
00:21:35,269 --> 00:21:38,272
- Nothing.
- Don't look at me.
397
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:41,242
Who talked to you? Dickie?
398
00:21:41,309 --> 00:21:44,679
Look. We'll take a lot of pictures.
It'll be fine. OK?
399
00:21:44,745 --> 00:21:47,849
- I, uh... I gotta go to work.
- Bye.
400
00:21:49,917 --> 00:21:52,753
- [chattering]
- What have we got?
401
00:21:52,820 --> 00:21:54,856
We just got a coded message
from Wurzburg.
402
00:21:54,922 --> 00:21:57,658
They recovered all 50 missiles intact.
403
00:21:57,725 --> 00:22:00,761
- Good.
- Unfortunately, Mannus got away.
404
00:22:00,828 --> 00:22:03,331
Our people had to make
some fast choices, ma'am.
405
00:22:03,397 --> 00:22:05,566
They decided the priority
was the missiles.
406
00:22:05,633 --> 00:22:08,569
- They did the right thing.
- He got away with half the money.
407
00:22:08,636 --> 00:22:11,239
Worth any price to keep missiles
out of terrorist hands.
408
00:22:11,305 --> 00:22:13,875
Let's keep the indictment
against Mannus sealed.
409
00:22:13,941 --> 00:22:16,744
If he doesn't know he's a priority
for us, he'll turn up.
410
00:22:16,811 --> 00:22:19,247
- If he does, we'll get him.
- Yes, ma'am.
411
00:22:19,313 --> 00:22:21,015
Thank you.
412
00:22:23,150 --> 00:22:25,253
By the way, ma'am,
I'm out all day tomorrow.
413
00:22:26,053 --> 00:22:30,024
Warren, you'd tell me
if there was a problem, right?
414
00:22:30,091 --> 00:22:32,960
- Madam President, motorcade's ready.
- Wonderful.
415
00:22:33,027 --> 00:22:34,896
If you'll excuse me.
416
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,198
Ma'am, if it's all right with you,
417
00:22:37,265 --> 00:22:40,001
I have a tremendous amount
of follow-up on the summit...
418
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:42,737
- Meaning you're not coming.
- I'd rather not, no.
419
00:22:42,803 --> 00:22:45,406
And the real reason for this is?
420
00:22:45,473 --> 00:22:49,410
Look. Frankly, I just don't
want my participation in this
421
00:22:49,477 --> 00:22:52,446
to be perceived in the wrong way.
422
00:22:52,513 --> 00:22:54,415
I can appreciate that.
423
00:22:54,482 --> 00:22:57,852
Not enough to let you off the hook.
Let's go.
424
00:23:02,023 --> 00:23:05,693
[woman] This impromptu town hall
is seen as a daring move,
425
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,696
given the rising tensions in the area.
But a unique move.
426
00:23:08,763 --> 00:23:12,033
No sitting president
has ever visited Hyattsville.
427
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:16,103
And here she is,
arriving with a small motorcade...
428
00:23:16,771 --> 00:23:19,140
[sirens]
429
00:23:22,476 --> 00:23:25,279
[crowd cheers]
430
00:23:43,431 --> 00:23:47,768
[reporters clamoring]
431
00:23:47,835 --> 00:23:50,471
Madam President, can you say
why you're in Hyattsville.
432
00:23:50,538 --> 00:23:53,474
To meet some people
and try the chops.
433
00:24:02,383 --> 00:24:04,785
I know you've been through
some difficult times
434
00:24:04,852 --> 00:24:08,656
and I want to thank you all
for being here.
435
00:24:08,723 --> 00:24:13,327
I know many of you are on your
lunch hour, so I'll get right to it.
436
00:24:13,394 --> 00:24:17,298
I'd like to thank Chief of Police
Davison for being here,
437
00:24:17,365 --> 00:24:20,267
and for being willing to hear
what you have to say.
438
00:24:23,137 --> 00:24:27,975
As a woman and a mother, I...
439
00:24:28,042 --> 00:24:31,345
I can't imagine the horror
of losing a child.
440
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,952
I want to hear about your experiences
and I want to learn from them.
441
00:24:38,019 --> 00:24:40,788
I also want you to share
any ideas you have
442
00:24:40,855 --> 00:24:44,225
for addressing the crime rate
in your community.
443
00:24:44,291 --> 00:24:46,761
- More cops.
- [man #1] More better cops.
444
00:24:46,827 --> 00:24:51,232
- [man #2] That's what we need.
- [crowd murmuring]
445
00:24:51,298 --> 00:24:54,001
All right, well, let's start there.
446
00:24:54,068 --> 00:24:55,770
Yes, in the blue jacket.
447
00:24:55,836 --> 00:24:58,673
My name is Yolanda.
448
00:24:58,739 --> 00:25:02,109
Five months ago, my daughter...
449
00:25:02,176 --> 00:25:05,880
...she's just six years old.
She got caught in some crossfire.
450
00:25:05,946 --> 00:25:08,683
They're junkies.
Always high on something.
451
00:25:08,749 --> 00:25:12,620
There was a warrant out for this guy
and they never picked him up.
452
00:25:12,687 --> 00:25:15,690
She was a mother of three
and a grandmother of six.
453
00:25:15,756 --> 00:25:19,360
They had no problem coming around
to accuse my son of selling crack.
454
00:25:19,427 --> 00:25:21,228
[crowd murmurs]
455
00:25:21,295 --> 00:25:23,364
But when he got killed in a drive by,
456
00:25:23,431 --> 00:25:26,100
they seemed to have
a much harder time finding the guilty.
457
00:25:26,167 --> 00:25:28,402
[crowd] That's right.
458
00:25:30,171 --> 00:25:33,140
[crowd continues indistinct]
459
00:25:39,046 --> 00:25:42,783
[sirens blaring in the distance]
460
00:25:45,219 --> 00:25:48,055
How does it feel?
461
00:25:48,122 --> 00:25:50,224
To be back.
462
00:25:51,592 --> 00:25:53,994
- A little strange.
- Hmm.
463
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:58,933
What do they say?
Can't go home again?
464
00:26:00,668 --> 00:26:03,471
When was the last time?
465
00:26:04,138 --> 00:26:05,673
It was William's funeral.
466
00:26:07,708 --> 00:26:10,444
Hell of a b-ball player.
467
00:26:10,511 --> 00:26:13,047
Of course, so were you.
468
00:26:18,819 --> 00:26:21,822
You remember that time we had
to use Terry as our fifth man?
469
00:26:23,824 --> 00:26:26,293
Smacked you in the back
of the head with that pass.
470
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,797
- That was on purpose, I'm sure.
- No doubt, no doubt.
471
00:26:29,864 --> 00:26:33,434
Boy, she had a temper on her.
472
00:26:33,501 --> 00:26:36,403
Pissed her off when you chose
Duke over Howard.
473
00:26:39,807 --> 00:26:41,675
She never said it, but...
474
00:26:41,742 --> 00:26:44,979
...she thought you did good
for yourself.
475
00:26:45,045 --> 00:26:47,715
We all did.
476
00:26:47,782 --> 00:26:50,785
Hey. Thanks for arranging all this.
477
00:26:56,524 --> 00:26:59,160
Gotta pick up the kids.
478
00:27:12,339 --> 00:27:17,344
Last year, Prince George's County
reported 135 murders.
479
00:27:17,411 --> 00:27:20,047
One hundred and eight of them
still unsolved.
480
00:27:20,114 --> 00:27:22,817
We've met with the governor,
the chief of police.
481
00:27:22,883 --> 00:27:26,020
Clearly, nothing is going to happen
any time soon.
482
00:27:26,086 --> 00:27:30,391
Talk to me about the legality of direct
federal intervention in PG County.
483
00:27:30,457 --> 00:27:33,761
Ma'am, I would just caution
that we not overreach here.
484
00:27:33,828 --> 00:27:37,698
Your friend didn't come to ask you to
establish some blue ribbon commission.
485
00:27:37,765 --> 00:27:40,868
Direct federal intervention
in local law enforcement is rare.
486
00:27:40,935 --> 00:27:43,737
It's usually reserved for terrorists,
drug traffickers.
487
00:27:43,804 --> 00:27:48,008
Well, there have been cases of, uh,
federal agents working in concert
488
00:27:48,075 --> 00:27:51,245
with local police to round up
murderers and gang members.
489
00:27:51,312 --> 00:27:53,347
But the results have been mixed,
at best.
490
00:27:53,414 --> 00:27:56,217
Carl, what agencies
are you talking about?
491
00:27:56,283 --> 00:27:58,919
Most of these crimes
involve drugs or guns.
492
00:27:58,986 --> 00:28:02,389
So you'd be talking about the DEA,
the FBI, the ATF.
493
00:28:02,456 --> 00:28:03,991
You send them into PG County,
494
00:28:04,058 --> 00:28:07,061
you're going to be cutting
a pretty wide swath.
495
00:28:20,774 --> 00:28:22,776
Let's do it.
496
00:28:22,843 --> 00:28:25,579
- Afternoon, everybody.
- [reporters] Afternoon, sir.
497
00:28:25,646 --> 00:28:29,783
I've just come from a meeting with
Senate leaders and I am pleased to say
498
00:28:29,850 --> 00:28:33,954
that my Smart Sentencing Act
will pass the Senate with room to spare.
499
00:28:34,021 --> 00:28:35,522
- Mr. Speaker!
- Uh, Connie.
500
00:28:35,589 --> 00:28:38,292
It's been said this bill
is close to your heart.
501
00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:40,060
Can you tell us why?
502
00:28:40,127 --> 00:28:41,762
You know, we live in a world
503
00:28:41,829 --> 00:28:45,165
where each of us, at one time
or another, is touched by crime.
504
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,303
We've just gotten word that President
Allen has sent 40 US Marshals
505
00:28:49,370 --> 00:28:50,838
into PG County, Maryland.
506
00:28:50,905 --> 00:28:52,907
The speaker is here
to answer questions...
507
00:28:52,973 --> 00:28:54,108
Hang-hang on a second.
508
00:28:54,174 --> 00:28:57,511
It's obvious that this
is a political shell game.
509
00:28:57,578 --> 00:29:00,681
Mackenzie Allen
is sending in the cavalry
510
00:29:00,748 --> 00:29:05,519
in a painfully desperate attempt
to tout that she is tough on crime.
511
00:29:05,586 --> 00:29:07,454
But it's not tough,
it's capricious.
512
00:29:07,521 --> 00:29:10,391
- It's a drop in the bucket.
- At least she's doing something.
513
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:14,161
- You're just talking.
- You don't get it, do you?
514
00:29:14,228 --> 00:29:16,530
She's doing something
to cause a lot of talk.
515
00:29:16,597 --> 00:29:20,668
I'm talking something
to cause a lot to get done.
516
00:29:23,137 --> 00:29:26,106
[man] Response to the federal action
has been varied,
517
00:29:26,173 --> 00:29:29,376
with many beltway politicians
suggesting the president
518
00:29:29,443 --> 00:29:32,379
has ignored states' rights.
Very few...
519
00:29:32,446 --> 00:29:36,083
How can The Wall Street Journal
call me a bleeding-heart liberal
520
00:29:36,150 --> 00:29:40,287
on the same day The National Review
calls me an ultra-conservative?
521
00:29:41,121 --> 00:29:43,190
That's the dilemma of the Independent.
522
00:29:43,257 --> 00:29:46,160
The press only sees black and white
in political spectrum.
523
00:29:46,226 --> 00:29:47,695
Well, here's a keeper.
524
00:29:47,761 --> 00:29:51,632
The bloggers are calling us
fascists in jackboots.
525
00:29:51,699 --> 00:29:54,134
I always wondered
how I'd look in a pair of those.
526
00:29:54,201 --> 00:29:57,738
[man] Not surprisingly,
the most vocal critic of the president
527
00:29:57,805 --> 00:30:01,875
- is Governor Stan Preston of Maryland.
- Now what?
528
00:30:01,942 --> 00:30:04,278
She can try to hide
behind political platforms,
529
00:30:04,345 --> 00:30:05,679
but the truth of the matter is
530
00:30:05,746 --> 00:30:09,984
that the president is micro-managing
the situation in Prince George's County,
531
00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:14,054
not because she has any great desire
to reform crime legislation,
532
00:30:14,121 --> 00:30:16,657
but because her chief of staff
is from Hyattsville.
533
00:30:16,724 --> 00:30:20,027
[woman] Are you saying the president
is doing him a personal favor?
534
00:30:20,094 --> 00:30:22,229
Well, I don't see any
federal troops in LA
535
00:30:22,296 --> 00:30:25,332
- or Detroit or Chicago. Do you?
- Excuse me.
536
00:30:25,399 --> 00:30:27,468
[reporters clamoring] Governor!
537
00:30:29,970 --> 00:30:33,007
- [woman] ...is to influence Congress.
- [TV clicks off]
538
00:30:34,742 --> 00:30:37,811
I just ran into Senator Quint's
chief of staff.
539
00:30:37,878 --> 00:30:40,647
I'm sure our colleagues
from Maryland
540
00:30:40,714 --> 00:30:42,783
are none too pleased
with what she's doing.
541
00:30:42,850 --> 00:30:44,885
They're not,
but their constituents are.
542
00:30:44,952 --> 00:30:48,122
Both senator's offices
have been flooded with phone calls
543
00:30:48,188 --> 00:30:49,523
in favor of the actions.
544
00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:52,326
It's knee-jerk. It'll pass.
545
00:30:52,393 --> 00:30:55,596
Not in time for our vote.
Quint's flipping.
546
00:30:56,864 --> 00:30:58,532
Huh.
547
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,702
Huh. Yeah. Kurlander?
548
00:31:01,769 --> 00:31:03,303
More than likely.
549
00:31:04,004 --> 00:31:06,273
Should we get the Maryland
delegation in here?
550
00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:09,176
No. No. This can't...
551
00:31:09,243 --> 00:31:13,347
[stammering] This bill must pass.
552
00:31:13,414 --> 00:31:16,150
It will pass.
553
00:31:16,216 --> 00:31:20,821
I need to see the vice president.
Right away.
554
00:31:20,888 --> 00:31:23,190
That's very encouraging.
555
00:31:23,257 --> 00:31:26,627
Thank you. And please give my gratitude
to all the agents in the field.
556
00:31:26,693 --> 00:31:28,996
Goodbye. Hey.
557
00:31:29,063 --> 00:31:30,297
- You're back.
- Mm-hmm.
558
00:31:30,364 --> 00:31:32,966
- And you shaved.
- Yep. Got a little itchy.
559
00:31:33,033 --> 00:31:36,136
- Did you have a nice time?
- Yeah. Yeah. It was good for me.
560
00:31:36,203 --> 00:31:38,939
- And Horace?
- He had fun.
561
00:31:39,006 --> 00:31:42,176
- Good.
- I'm gonna go check on Amy and Becca.
562
00:31:42,242 --> 00:31:43,510
OK.
563
00:31:44,344 --> 00:31:45,779
Kelly.
564
00:31:46,747 --> 00:31:49,283
Hey. What's that,
or should I not ask?
565
00:31:49,349 --> 00:31:52,519
Initial results of your actions
in PG County.
566
00:31:52,586 --> 00:31:57,057
82% of those polled in Maryland
support your decision to federalize.
567
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:59,827
Nationwide? 74.
568
00:31:59,893 --> 00:32:01,895
- Percent?
- Mm-hmm.
569
00:32:01,962 --> 00:32:05,532
Well, at least the public's
not calling me fascistic.
570
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:08,035
Ma'am, not that you asked, but...
571
00:32:08,102 --> 00:32:10,804
...what you're doing
could really make a difference.
572
00:32:10,871 --> 00:32:14,575
I hope so. I was just on the phone
with the FBI director.
573
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,778
He says they have suspects
in two of the Hyattsville murder cases
574
00:32:17,845 --> 00:32:19,213
and leads on several more.
575
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:23,117
Vince doesn't call you
"Billy Mac" for nothing.
576
00:32:23,183 --> 00:32:25,486
- Where's he going anyway?
- Ma'am?
577
00:32:25,552 --> 00:32:27,654
He asked for time off,
but he didn't say why.
578
00:32:27,721 --> 00:32:31,792
Uh... Vince had a family event
he needed to attend.
579
00:32:31,859 --> 00:32:36,029
What is it? A funeral?
Wedding? What?
580
00:32:37,931 --> 00:32:39,666
[sighs]
581
00:32:40,567 --> 00:32:42,169
[musical tone]
582
00:32:47,474 --> 00:32:50,043
- What's up?
- Oh, nothing.
583
00:32:51,145 --> 00:32:53,013
- How was your trip?
- Awesome.
584
00:32:54,014 --> 00:32:56,683
- Really?
- Mm-hmm. The best.
585
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:04,158
[musical tone]
586
00:33:09,830 --> 00:33:12,733
- [footsteps]
- [knocking]
587
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:14,468
Jim.
588
00:33:15,636 --> 00:33:17,905
I just got a call from the FBI.
589
00:33:17,971 --> 00:33:21,141
They think they may have found
Terry's killer.
590
00:33:27,347 --> 00:33:30,918
Thank you, ma'am. I'm sure
her husband will be relieved.
591
00:33:36,924 --> 00:33:40,227
Ma'am, I'm not proud of the way
I handled things here. I, uh...
592
00:33:41,428 --> 00:33:45,065
Jim, you may be
593
00:33:45,132 --> 00:33:48,602
one of the most principled
individuals I have ever met.
594
00:33:48,669 --> 00:33:51,605
You would never abuse
your access to me, I know that.
595
00:33:51,672 --> 00:33:55,909
And I recognize that its being
perceived that way bothers you.
596
00:33:57,711 --> 00:33:59,846
Tremendously.
597
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,451
But the truth is,
I didn't do it for you.
598
00:34:04,518 --> 00:34:07,754
I did it because it needed to be done.
599
00:34:07,821 --> 00:34:10,924
Well, I appreciate everything
you did for my hometown.
600
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:16,230
I can't imagine
there are a lot of Republicans
601
00:34:16,296 --> 00:34:18,365
coming out of Hyattsville.
602
00:34:18,899 --> 00:34:21,235
No, ma'am.
603
00:34:22,869 --> 00:34:24,771
So can I ask,
604
00:34:24,838 --> 00:34:26,640
why did you become a Republican?
605
00:34:28,242 --> 00:34:29,576
It was the party of Lincoln.
606
00:34:29,643 --> 00:34:33,880
The party that encouraged black
entrepreneurs to open businesses.
607
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:36,049
Work hard.
608
00:34:38,452 --> 00:34:40,887
It was a party that, at it's best,
609
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:43,557
represented everything
my mom taught me
610
00:34:43,624 --> 00:34:45,759
and lived her life by.
611
00:34:49,896 --> 00:34:52,566
- Good night, Jim.
- Good night, ma'am.
612
00:34:57,771 --> 00:35:00,307
[Nathan] Hey, Warren.
613
00:35:00,374 --> 00:35:02,109
- Thank you for stopping by.
- Nathan.
614
00:35:02,175 --> 00:35:05,545
- Have a seat.
- I don't have much time.
615
00:35:05,612 --> 00:35:09,650
You're aware that the speaker's crime
bill is on the floor of the Senate.
616
00:35:09,716 --> 00:35:12,386
It's hard not to be.
617
00:35:12,452 --> 00:35:15,689
- It's going to vote tomorrow.
- And will pass, if memory serves.
618
00:35:15,756 --> 00:35:18,492
The senators from Maryland
buckled under pressure
619
00:35:18,558 --> 00:35:21,228
and are now supporting
the president's crime efforts.
620
00:35:21,295 --> 00:35:23,597
Right now we're looking
at a 50/50 split,
621
00:35:23,664 --> 00:35:25,732
which as you know, is a loss.
622
00:35:25,799 --> 00:35:29,236
This is an important piece
of legislation, Warren.
623
00:35:29,303 --> 00:35:32,539
Not just for me, but for the nation.
624
00:35:32,606 --> 00:35:36,109
I know that you would support
this bill's goals and intentions.
625
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:38,045
I know this because
you've supported
626
00:35:38,111 --> 00:35:40,814
similar sentencing guidelines
in the past.
627
00:35:40,881 --> 00:35:42,015
You're your own man.
628
00:35:42,082 --> 00:35:44,985
A fact that's well known,
well-respected.
629
00:35:45,052 --> 00:35:48,088
And you're constitutionally empowered
630
00:35:48,155 --> 00:35:49,389
to break this tie.
631
00:35:49,456 --> 00:35:52,326
You expect me to go to the Senate
632
00:35:52,392 --> 00:35:56,396
and stand up before the world
and vote against my commander in chief?
633
00:35:56,463 --> 00:35:57,964
Yes.
634
00:35:58,031 --> 00:36:02,536
Because you're of a generation
that values honor,
635
00:36:02,602 --> 00:36:05,872
because you love
the American people.
636
00:36:05,939 --> 00:36:07,374
And because,
637
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,844
if you recall,
638
00:36:11,545 --> 00:36:13,113
we made a deal.
639
00:36:18,418 --> 00:36:19,553
[Mac] Pam.
640
00:36:19,619 --> 00:36:21,988
Will you veto the Templeton Act
if it passes?
641
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:24,591
Looks like I won't have to.
It's tied in the Senate.
642
00:36:24,658 --> 00:36:27,260
- Thank you, everyone.
- [reporters clamoring]
643
00:36:28,362 --> 00:36:29,896
Here we go.
644
00:36:29,963 --> 00:36:31,932
Mr. Keaton is in the building.
645
00:36:31,998 --> 00:36:36,703
[woman] ...to cast that deciding vote
on the Templeton bill.
646
00:36:36,770 --> 00:36:40,307
[Warren] On this vote,
the yeas are 50
647
00:36:40,374 --> 00:36:42,709
and the nays are 50.
648
00:36:42,776 --> 00:36:46,813
Thanks. Times, Trib, and Post,
they're all leading with Safe Cities
649
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,981
above the fold.
650
00:36:49,082 --> 00:36:51,818
- What's this?
- Vote on the Templeton Act.
651
00:36:51,885 --> 00:36:54,554
- [Warren] The Senate...
- OK, so why is Warren there?
652
00:36:54,621 --> 00:36:57,224
...being equally divided...
653
00:36:57,290 --> 00:36:59,192
The only reason he would be
is to vote yes.
654
00:36:59,259 --> 00:37:01,728
And why would my vice president
do that?
655
00:37:01,795 --> 00:37:03,697
Maybe because Templeton
asked him to.
656
00:37:03,764 --> 00:37:06,199
He was in the speaker's office
last night.
657
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:11,505
[woman] ...will cast the deciding vote
on the 50-50 split on the bill.
658
00:37:11,571 --> 00:37:13,840
Come on, come on.
659
00:37:13,907 --> 00:37:16,676
[woman] And it looks as if
he's ready to speak.
660
00:37:16,743 --> 00:37:19,246
Vice President Keaton.
661
00:37:19,312 --> 00:37:22,282
The Vice President votes...
662
00:37:23,717 --> 00:37:25,752
...in the negative.
663
00:37:25,819 --> 00:37:28,455
The nays have it.
664
00:37:28,522 --> 00:37:30,991
- The bill fails.
- [gavel pounds]
665
00:37:31,057 --> 00:37:32,959
[woman] The Templeton bill has failed.
666
00:37:33,026 --> 00:37:35,328
What the hell was that about?
667
00:37:35,395 --> 00:37:38,231
Whatever the reason for his appearance,
the act is a failure.
668
00:37:38,298 --> 00:37:40,834
- Wouldn't have thought it a week ago.
- He lost ground.
669
00:37:40,901 --> 00:37:43,770
- Church-going moms under 45.
- And we gained.
670
00:37:44,438 --> 00:37:46,540
Without trying.[chuckles]
671
00:37:46,606 --> 00:37:49,075
Dickie, hang back, will you?
672
00:37:49,342 --> 00:37:53,180
- There a problem?
- Yeah. A pretty big one, actually.
673
00:37:53,246 --> 00:37:57,217
A few weeks ago, I asked for,
and received, a commitment from you.
674
00:37:57,284 --> 00:38:00,954
- I believe I've honored it, ma'am.
- See, that's where I beg to differ.
675
00:38:01,021 --> 00:38:06,359
You convinced my personal assistant,
no, a very dear friend,
676
00:38:06,426 --> 00:38:09,963
to keep something clearly
very important to him from me.
677
00:38:10,030 --> 00:38:13,500
In all fairness, Vince was leaning
toward not telling you already.
678
00:38:13,567 --> 00:38:16,303
I just gave him a nudge
in the right direction.
679
00:38:16,369 --> 00:38:20,140
- You politicized a personal situation.
- With all due respect...
680
00:38:20,207 --> 00:38:23,610
Mr. McDonald, consider this strike two.
681
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:34,754
Let's see if we can move up
the cabinet meeting as well.
682
00:38:34,821 --> 00:38:37,958
I want a working lunch with
the attorney general on the task force.
683
00:38:38,024 --> 00:38:40,627
Yes, ma'am.
Anything else, ma'am?
684
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:44,431
Yes. Uh, I wonder if you could
answer a question for me.
685
00:38:44,498 --> 00:38:46,099
Sure.
686
00:38:46,166 --> 00:38:48,802
Were you being protective?
687
00:38:48,869 --> 00:38:51,037
Or were you just afraid to invite me?
688
00:38:51,104 --> 00:38:54,441
I wasn't afraid exactly,
I just didn't...
689
00:38:54,508 --> 00:38:57,777
Oh, it doesn't matter.
It's done.
690
00:38:57,844 --> 00:39:00,580
It'd be nice to meet him sometime.
691
00:39:03,884 --> 00:39:07,621
- [man] Madam President.
- Warren?
692
00:39:07,687 --> 00:39:11,691
Ma'am, I apologize for arriving
without advanced notice.
693
00:39:11,758 --> 00:39:15,662
Not a problem.
Nice work on the floor today.
694
00:39:15,729 --> 00:39:18,899
Odd protocol, but thank you.
695
00:39:18,965 --> 00:39:21,234
- Uh, may I?
- Please. Sit.
696
00:39:31,978 --> 00:39:34,781
Ma'am, my wife has been ill.
697
00:39:34,848 --> 00:39:38,985
- I'm so sorry.
- Actually, she's, uh...
698
00:39:41,021 --> 00:39:42,856
...she's dying.
699
00:39:42,923 --> 00:39:46,560
Oh, my God. Warren.
700
00:39:46,626 --> 00:39:51,565
She's been diagnosed
with stage 4 ovarian cancer.
701
00:39:51,631 --> 00:39:55,936
And uh, it's been quite a shock to us,
as you can imagine.
702
00:39:56,002 --> 00:39:58,672
It... it all happened so quickly.
703
00:40:01,541 --> 00:40:04,844
Do they know? The doctors...
704
00:40:04,911 --> 00:40:06,580
How much time she has?
705
00:40:06,646 --> 00:40:10,750
[exhales] Three months.
Six months.
706
00:40:10,817 --> 00:40:12,819
Maybe a year.
707
00:40:12,886 --> 00:40:15,889
But, regardless...
708
00:40:15,956 --> 00:40:19,025
- ...I want to be with her.
- Of course.
709
00:40:19,092 --> 00:40:23,396
So...
710
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:28,935
[exhales deeply] This is hard.
711
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:35,141
I respectively request that you
accept my immediate resignation
712
00:40:35,208 --> 00:40:37,644
as your vice president.
713
00:40:37,711 --> 00:40:40,847
I am so sorry, ma'am.
714
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:46,653
You will be a tremendous loss
to this administration.
715
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,723
But I understand completely.
716
00:40:54,828 --> 00:40:57,764
You know, every day,
717
00:40:57,831 --> 00:41:01,735
your every move
is put under the microscope
718
00:41:01,801 --> 00:41:05,138
because you are the first
female president.
719
00:41:06,740 --> 00:41:10,377
And not one of those
people that judge you
720
00:41:10,443 --> 00:41:14,347
has ever spoken
of your compassion.
721
00:41:14,414 --> 00:41:19,753
Not as a president.
Not as a friend.
722
00:41:19,819 --> 00:41:23,723
- It's truly remarkable.
- Thank you.
723
00:41:26,126 --> 00:41:28,328
My wife is a very proud woman.
724
00:41:28,395 --> 00:41:31,031
I will see to it
that your privacy's respected.
725
00:41:31,097 --> 00:41:33,033
I know that's a lot to ask
726
00:41:33,099 --> 00:41:35,268
'cause if I leave
without an explanation,
727
00:41:35,335 --> 00:41:36,603
they'll fault you.
728
00:41:38,304 --> 00:41:40,073
You will be missed.
729
00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:44,077
It's been an honor and a privilege
to serve you, Madam President.
730
00:41:44,144 --> 00:41:45,412
Thank you, Warren.
731
00:41:52,152 --> 00:41:55,055
Mr. Gardner.
732
00:41:55,121 --> 00:41:58,191
- Goodbye.
- Sir.
733
00:42:01,961 --> 00:42:04,698
Ma'am, everything all right?
734
00:42:04,764 --> 00:42:06,700
Let's talk about it later.
735
00:42:06,766 --> 00:42:08,902
This someone you want me to meet?
736
00:42:08,968 --> 00:42:10,737
Yes, ma'am.
737
00:42:11,538 --> 00:42:15,642
Madam President, I would like to
introduce you to my old friend,
738
00:42:15,709 --> 00:42:19,479
Louis Highsmith. Bobo.
739
00:42:19,546 --> 00:42:22,682
- Pleasure to meet you, Bobo.
- It's an honor, ma'am.
740
00:42:22,749 --> 00:42:25,518
- A real honor.
- Thank you. Thank you.
741
00:42:25,585 --> 00:42:27,854
