NARRATOR: Previously on Designated Survivor...

HANNAH: America's favorite vice presidential candidate

and the CIA's most wanted mercenary, know each other.

I'm working a lead, damning to Peter MacLeish.

Congresswoman Hookstraten just called for an extended recess,

she's delaying MacLeish's hearing.

TOM: Someone inside the US government

handed over the blueprints to Majid Nassar

for the Capitol bombing. There's a traitor among us.

Special Agent, Hannah Wells, seemed to be a bit obsessed with me.

I hope she isn't trying to convince the speaker of any conspiracy theory.

I found the evidence I was looking for.

I'll explain everything when I get there.

-(ENGINE REVVING) -(GLASS SHATTERING)

(MEN SHOUTING)

My God. Are you okay? Can you hear me?

Look, you've been in an accident, but help is on the way.

Just try and sit still, okay? And don't move your neck.

You're gonna be fine.

Madam Speaker, I know you're waiting for someone,

but the entire country is waiting for us.

We can't delay this vote any longer...

Peter MacLeish, is a hero.

Who my witness claims to have damning evidence against.

We owe it to our constituents to find out what that is.

-(LINE RINGS) -(\NHISPERS) Damn it. Pick up.

(PANTING)

It's me. I lost her.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(GRUNTS)

(SIRENS WAILING)

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

Tom, what is this?

- TOM: It's a blueprint. - A blueprint?

A guide for how to blow up the Capitol building.

- Where did it come from? - TOM: Us.

The Department of Defense.

Apparently after 9/11,

the Pentagon did a threat assessment on all key government buildings,

to show us where our weaknesses were.

And so you're thinking what?

I think someone inside our government...

gave that blueprint to AI-Sakar to blow up the Capitol.

- Who else knows about this? - Just you and Mike.

Tom, you need to call in someone from Homeland Security or the FBI.

No, no, we can't call anyone until we know exactly what this is.

You're scaring me right now.

Remember the first night we were here in the Rose Garden?

You asked if I thought we were a target.

I said I didn't know. But now...

I think you need to take the kids and leave, until we know it's safe.

Take them where? Where's "safe"?

- I don't know. - But that's my point.

How do we run if we don't know who we're running from?

Mike's bringing in the man who wrote the file, Dr. Enright.

Maybe he's got answers for us.

But until then, we cannot trust anyone.

Okay, time's up.

If you don't join us inside immediately, I will tell the public

that you blocked MacLeish's appointment,

so you would be next in line for the presidency.

Reconvene the committee.

(KEYS JINGLING)

- Hannah? What happened? - You can't let them find me.

Oh, my God, you're bleeding! You need help!

Chuck, you can't call anyone.

I have to get you to the hospital, you need a doctor. Hannah?

Hannah!

Now that the House Judiciary Committee

has given the nominee the green light,

the fuH House will convene for a late-night vote,

that many expect will make Peter MacLeish,

the next Vice President of the United States.

Congratulations. You did it.

To Peter MacLeish.

- To the new vice president. - Hear, hear.

EMILY: What's up, spring break?

Oh, come on, you know if you had

6O news-hungry journalists clamoring for information

about Nassar's murder, you'd be thirsty too.

Maybe the MacLeish confirmation will keep them off your back

-for a news cycle. - SETH: Yeah.

The only thing that'll keep them off my back,

is an answer, which as I remind you, we don't have.

Yeah.

Rumor is, MacLeish is bringing a bunch of his

house staffers with him. You guys know any of 'em?

Yeah, I used to play soccer every Tuesday night with his Coms director.

The guy is sharp as a marble.

I once shared a summer house in Dewey Beach,

with his legislative assistants. I mean we were only 19,

-but they seemed on top of it. - Nineteen?

Yes, and I will need plenty more of these

before you get any of those stories.

All right, I'm gonna go meet the speech writers on New Street.

You guys you're welcome to join.

No, no, we're good where we are Seth, thank you.

SETH: All right. See you tomorrow.

- Have a good night. - Get home safe.

...his wife, Beth, and their two daughters.

EMILY: Can you believe everything that's happened?

It's been a roller coaster, for sure.

You know, I have to admit, when I first got here,

I thought that you were gonna do everything you could

to get me out of the White House, not be the reason I'm still here.

Well, I have to admit, when you first got here,

I didn't think you could handle it.

Yeah, you called me a minor Ieaguer.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Yeah, well, I was wrong.

If anything, I'm learning from you.

Mr. President, Dr. Alan Enright.

Dr. Enright, please.

I need you to verify for me, that this is your work.

I think you know that it is.

I think that's why I am here Mr. President,

but I had nothing to do with what happened at the Capitol.

I wrote this file to prevent what happened, not to cause it.

Even if that's true, you had to realize someone used your work

to plan and carry out the bombing.

They followed it to the letter. Why didn't you come forward?

I close my eyes, I can see the building fall.

The cast iron melting, the marble crumble.

Whoever did this,

we're talking about a conspiracy of unparalleled proportions.

I was scared, Mr. President.

Okay. Okay.

Doctor, I'll need you to give me every single name

that had access to this file.

I put an ORCON classification on this file,

which means the number of people who saw it, is limited.

Then I sent it to the DOD security team.

They all died in the Capitol.

I also sent it to the head of NORCOM.

You sent the file to General Grady?

I wrote this file two years and six months ago.

General Grady was not the head of NORCOM then.

- Who was? - The general you fired.

Harris Cochrane.

NEWS ANCHOR: ...met MacLeish properly,

with the House Judiciary Committee.

Peter MacLeish has been named the Miracle on the Potomac,

and this return to the capital, will hopefully redefine

the public's association with...

(GRUNTS)

With a final tally of 424-9, Congressman MacLeish

was confirmed by the House of Representatives

in a historic vote late last night.

Meanwhile, organizers are working double time to prepare for...

- CHUCK: Hi. - Hey.

Hey. You okay?

- How you feeling? - Better.

- Yeah, thanks to you. - Easy.

Hey, Chuck. Did you glue my wound?

CHUCK: Yeah.

- Where did you learn to do that? - YouTube.

House confirmed him. They're swearing him in this afternoon.

NEWS ANCHOR: Peter MacLeish's confirmation

received no opposition from the newly appointed...

Whoever made sure MacLeish survived, wanted him as VP for a reason,

so we have less than eight hours to make sure that doesn't happen.

Okay, look, I know this isn't what you're gonna want to hear, but...

Someone tried to kill you, Atwood's in prison,

Foerstel has me on suspension.

- Maybe it's time we... - What?

- Quit? - CHUCK: Hannah...

you almost died last night.

I literally had to scrub your blood off of my hands.

What else do they need to do to us?

Chuck, why did you join the FBI?

To help people.

I joined to piss my father off.

He's a top surgeon in Chicago,

and he wanted me to follow in his footsteps.

Practically held me at gunpoint and took me to Johns Hopkins.

So I went. And halfway through grad school,

I walked out, jumped on a train, went to D.C.,

and signed up for the FBI.

I wanted to help, too. I just wanted to do it in my own way.

It's not their job to stop. It's our job to stop them.

And I'm scared, too.

But if we quit, they win, and then...

everyone who lost someone that day...

they'll never know peace.

Nice try.

You've never been scared in your life.

Fine. I'm in. What's the next step?

- Get back in touch with Hookstraten? - No.

I told her I had evidence on MacLeish,

-and someone tries to kill me. - Right.

And they took all my evidence.

The evidence I got from the woman who's been calling me.

I told you I can't trace the call from her again,

and even if I could, I'm shut out of my office.

Then you'd better get creative, 'cause it's the only lead we got.

Did anyone see you bring him in?

No, sir, I kept him off Waves, brought him in the East Wing.

It was still early so it wasn't a problem.

Okay, good. Thank you, Mike.

TOM: It's different in here when it's quiet.

On the contrary, this is what this room is usually like.

More calm than storm.

General, I need you to look at this. Mike?

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

This looks like a re-enactment of the Capitol bombing.

Well, it's not. General, this is file 12-80C,

a threat assessment created by the Pentagon,

two and half years before the bombing.

Mr. President, I have never seen this before.

TOM: I find that highly unlikely.

This file was given an ORCON classification.

I can count on my hand the number of people that have seen it.

Your name is the only one on the list that survived the bombing.

This was sent to me, but I never had the opportunity to read it.

That file was reclassified by the Secretary of Defense

and recalled electronically from my computer before I could access it.

And you expect me to believe that you just remembered that?

HARRIS: A file taken from my hand by the Secretary of Defense

at a moment's notice?

A lieutenant general being told he's not cleared to read something?

Never happened before, not to me.

TOM: What would be the circumstances

that would cause the Secretary of Defense

to reclassify a document like that?

HARRIS: I don't know, but it's not something he could do unilaterally.

- He must've been given orders. - By who?

There's a chain of command.

Only one place the Sec Def gets his orders from.

The White House.

General, you'll be detained until we can verify your story.

HARRIS: I understand.

Mr. President...

you have a serious problem.

And while you may not ask for my help,

it's here if you want it, sir.

- AARON: Hey, Emily. - Hey.

I was thinking, now that MacLeish is confirmed, we should start scheduling

committee hearings right away

to push the president's cabinet nominees through.

That's a great idea. We should get some Leg Affairs folks

-to start prepping. - I'll get on it.

Hey, listen. About last night...

You mean when you kissed me? You don't have to be weird about it.

Well, what if I want to be weird about it?

There's an Elvis impersonator tonight at the Nine Thirty club.

- Wanna go? - How did you know I like Elvis?

Opposition research comes in handy sometimes.

- Seth told you? - Seth told me.

- I'm in. - All right.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

- The president wants to see me. - I didn't get a message.

Well, then it can't be anything too important.

Yeah.

What I'm about to tell you has to stay in this room, do you understand?

Of course.

Yesterday, I received a highly-classified DOD file,

detailing how to blow up the Capitol.

I believe it's what AI-Sakar used to plan and carry out the attack.

I also think the file was given to them

by someone in Richmond's administration.

That's why I had to bring you out on this.

Not only do I trust you implicitly,

you weren't here when the file was being circulated.

Who was?

This is what I managed to put together so far.

- Aaron's on this list. - TOM: I know.

I had to put down everyone's name who had security clearance

that would allow them to know the file even existed.

Emily, I think there's a traitor in the White House.

I need you to help me find out who it is.

SETH: Yeah, Shelly.

Nassar's been dead for six days.

- When can we expect an answer? - As I said before, Shelly,

I still don't have information about this.

Who's gonna ask about the swearing-in?

- Over here. Seth. Seth. - Natalie.

About the decision to hold the swearing-in at the Capitol site,

-how exactly was that reached? - SETH: Thank you, Natalie.

So, since Thomas Jefferson's inauguration in 1800s,

swearing-in ceremonies have been held at the Capitol,

and the president felt it was both symbolic and necessary

to continue with that tradition, all right?

That's all I have, right now.

I'll be calling you back in in a few hours. Thank you.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

SETH: Have OP send us an updated list of who they've invited

- SETH: to the swearing-in. - LISA: Seth. A word?

Thanks, guys. I'll catch up to you.

- Lisa. Hey. - You didn't call on me once.

- Oh, sorry. I didn't see you. - I couldn't have been more clear

if I had one of those light sticks they use to direct airplanes.

Now, if this is about you

holding a grudge about the Leo Kirkman story...

Look, there's limited time, I can't get to everyone's question.

If you have something that's pressing,

you can always send me an email

or reach out to one of the deputies in my office.

Seth.

Okay, I get it. I betrayed your trust.

And I'm sorry.

But it's my job to ask questions and your job to answer them.

The president can forgive me. Why can't you?

Emily, hey, I was looking all over for you.

I thought you were gonna sit in

on that legislative affairs meeting with me.

Oh, sorry. I got tied up.

So, what'd the president want to see you about?

Nothing. He just,

he wanted me to take another look at Bruce Rangell for HUD Secretary.

That one's important for him, so...

Yeah.

Hey, so, tonight, pick you up here, 8:45?

Look, I think I'm gonna be pretty swamped here,

so I'm gonna have to take a rain check. I'm sorry.

Okay. All right. Rain check.

Emily, listen, you don't, you don't regret last night, do you?

No, I just can't do it tonight.

Okay.

Okay, signaling system 7, SS-7, lets every cell phone tower talk

to each other so your phone works anywhere in the world.

How does that help us?

If I can get in, we connect the dots from your cell

back to the one that mystery woman called you from.

Got it. I'm in.

- Good job, Chuck. - CHUCK: Don't thank me yet.

I still got to backtrack the number that called your cell.

- Damn it. - What?

Network picked up the intrusion.

It's a race to see what happens first.

I track your mystery caller's phone, or they track us.

Come on. Come on.

Got it.

(SIGHS)

Looks like the call came from a burner phone.

Purchased from where?

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

A convenience store in Dupont Circle.

Speaker Hookstraten's here, sir.

TOM: Thank you, Wyatt.

You wanted to speak with me, Mr. President?

Yes, Madam Speaker.

I was told that you had information on Congressman MacLeish

that you wanted to share with the committee.

I'm sorry, but I need to know what that was.

Six weeks ago, an FBI agent approached me.

She wanted access to the blueprints of the Capitol.

Yesterday, she told me she had evidence

against Peter MacLeish.

And then she never showed up.

TOM: "She"? What was the agent's name?

- Hannah Wells. - Hannah Wells.

Congressman MacLeish told me... what did he say, exactly?

He thought she was obsessed with him,

that her investigation had somehow turned personal.

Did she come across that way to you?

No sir, not at all.

- Do you know where she is now? - Well, strangely,

- I haven't heard from her since. - Okay, thank you.

Kimble, why does she want the blueprints for the Capitol Building?

She requested them as part of the investigation into the bombing.

Right. Of course, right. Thank you.

Is everything all right, sir?

I'm not sure yet. I'll let you know as soon as I can.

Then your detail will bring you back to One Observatory Circle.

-(KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Home, sweet home.

- I'm sorry for the interruption. - Mr. President.

Not at all. We're just going through some of the final details.

It's gonna be a great event, Peter.

Mike, can I borrow you for a second please?

Excuse me.

I need to speak with an FBI agent named Hannah Wells.

- Can you find her for me? - Yes, sir.

Thank you.

(GUN COCKS)

JOHN: Hannah Wells?

Why does the president want to know about Hannah Wells?

He's interested in some information she claims to have on Peter MacLeish.

Why? What kind of information did she say she had?

She didn't. That's... that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Do you know where I could find her?

I wish I did.

She totaled her car yesterday at 15th and K and fled the scene.

I've checked every local hospital, even tried pinging her phone.

You're saying an FBI agent just up and disappeared?

Yes.

Who knows what kind of mess Jason Atwood's got her in,

but you want to know more about Agent Wells?

Here's her file. See for yourself.

- Thanks. - JOHN: Mm-hmm.

Hi, I'm Agent Wells.

I called earlier about looking at your surveillance footage.

Yes, of course. It's in the back.

- Bob, can you take the register? - BOB: No problem.

Right this way.

- Thanks for doing this. - Yeah.

Can you pull up some footage from January 26th, around 3:32 p.m.?

That's when the phone was initiated.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

Stop.

- Do you have any exterior cameras? - Yeah, in the parking lot.

Okay, I need you to pull that up.

-(TYPING) -(COMPUTER BEEPS)

Freeze. And zoom in.

CHUCK: This is Chuck.

Chuck, I need you to run a plate for me.

SETH: At the swearing-in, the invocation will be delivered

by a Colonel William Sizemore. He was the congressman's Army pastor.

He'll be sworn in using Beth MacLeish's Bible,

which is being brought in from the family home in Oregon.

(REPORTERS CHATTERING)

- Yeah, Lisa. - Thank you.

I've just learned from a source that a suspect is in custody

in connection with the murder of Majid Nassar.

What is the White House's response,

and when can we expect to learn more about the suspect's identity?

Lisa, let me interrupt you right there

as it would be inappropriate for the White House to comment

on an ongoing investigation. That being said,

this is obviously a matter of extreme importance...

How long has the White House known?

When can we find...

What else is the White House hiding?

I'd direct any remaining questions you have

to the army criminal investigators.

That's all I have for right now.

I'll see you at the Capitol for the swearing-in.

FEMALE VOICE: You can't walk away from this.

We deserve answers! The public deserves answers!

Don't get many West Wingers here, especially senior aides to POTUS.

It's a special assignment.

All White House phone calls are catalogued, correct?

Yes, ma'am, every letter, call, correspondence,

all preserved for history.

Perfect. I'm trying to find who from the White House,

contacted the Secretary of Defense

on June 23rd, 2015, between 8:00 and 8:33 a.m.

Shouldn't be a problem, just give me a sec.

Here you go. There was a call logged

to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 8:23 a.m., 23, June 2015.

Who made the call?

White House Chief of Staff, Charles Langdon.

Do we have an update on Agent Wells?

She was in a car accident yesterday at 15th and K.

According to witnesses, she abandoned the scene.

FBI hasn't been able to track her down.

Wait a second, she was in a car accident on her way

to provide information on Congressman MacLeish?

That's a bit of a coincidence.

Director Foerstel gave me a look at her file.

Merits of accommodation aside,

Agent Wells has been going through a difficult time.

According to Atwood's notes, he felt her judgment might be compromised.

- Why? - She was in a relationship

with someone who died at the Capitol. Senator Scott Wheeler.

All I know is, she went

to Hookstraten looking for the blueprints

for the Capitol Building weeks before we knew about the file.

So she's either crazy, like everybody says

or she knows something.

- We got to keep looking for her. - Yes, sir.

(GARAGE DOOR SQUEAKS)

(BANGING)

(DOOR SLAMS)

(PANTING)

FBI! Stop right there!

Turn around. Turn around.

I know you. You're Charles Langdon.

You were Richmond's Chief of Staff. Everyone thinks you're dead.

You've gotta get outta here. They could've followed you.

You're the one calling me about MacLeish?

You don't know how hard it is to stay hidden from them.

It was a woman's voice.

They're never gonna stop searching.

Who's "they"? Who's behind this? Why do they keep MacLeish alive?

It's bigger than you think.

- Don't trust anyone. - Get down!

(SHOTS FIRED)

(ENGINE REVS)

(PHONE RINGING)

- This is Russink. - HANNAH: Hey, Chuck.

I got a security key card here.

It's got a logo on it. It's an M with a circle around it.

"M"? Umm...

Could be Metvvay Security out of Virginia.

Super high-end, private security and monitoring firm.

They offer me a job every year or two.

I'll give you the serial number on the back. See what this unlocks.

- Okay. You ready? - CHUCK: Yeah, shoot.

Zulu-Tango-3-2-6-7-Echo

CHUCK: Hannah?

- You still there? - Call me when you got something.

(DIALING NUMBERS)

This reporter, Lisa Jordan, she knows we have someone in custody, she just

-doesn't know that it's Atwood? - She knows we've arrested someone,

-she just doesn't know who it is. - Then she has nothing.

She knows we're hiding something.

Mr. President, we agreed not to tell the press anything

until we have all the facts.

We have them now. The FBI just handed in their report,

and it concludes that Jason Atwood, did indeed kill Majid Nassar.

That's incredible.

TOM: I asked Ms. Jordan to stay on

as a White House correspondent to keep us honest.

(SCOFFS)

She kept up her end of the bargain. We need to do the same.

Tell her we'll give her an exclusive on the man we have in custody,

but she'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Sir, I'm sorry about Atwood. I know you didn't want it to be true.

None of us did.

Oh, sir, I was thinking.

If you're having second thoughts

on Bruce Rangell for Secretary of Housing,

I could always pull up more information to look over.

I'm not having second thoughts on Rangell.

What would make you think that?

I'm sorry. I must have been...

I must have been thinking about something else.

The motorcade leaves for the Capitol in 3O minutes.

- Thank you, Aaron. - Sir.

(PHONE RINGS)

Ritter.

JOHN". Agent Ritter, it's John Foerstel.

What can I do for you?

JOHN: You asked me to keep the White House in the loop on Hannah Wells.

I just got a disturbing phone call out of Virginia.

Agent Wells shot someone?

Yes sir, at a farm in Fredericksburg.

The FBl's still working to identify the body.

But witnesses claim they saw someone fitting Agent Wells' description

engaged in a shootout before fleeing the scene.

What the hell is going on?

The feds are throwing a net over DC

and their EOC is monitoring every camera and feed

within a 30-mile radius.

I'll make sure our people are on the lookout for her as well.

- What, you think she's a threat? - I don't know, sir.

But I can't logically explain her actions over the past 24 hours.

We should consider that both MacLeish and Foerstel

might be right about her.

And I'd rather we overreact and be wrong

than underestimate her and live to regret it.

Okay, thanks, Mike.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Chuck.

Hannah, I've been monitoring police scanners.

Metro Police, the Bureau, they're all looking for you.

I don't know how much longer I can help you.

Look, I understand.

Were you able to find out anything about the key card?

CHUCK: Yeah.

It gives you access to room seven on the eighth floor

of the PLC Building on Louisiana.

HANNAH: Louisiana?

Chuck, room seven, does it face east or west?

East. Why?

- HANNAH: You can see the steps. - Hannah, what are you thinking?

Proximity to the Capitol, direct line of sight to the platform.

Chuck, they're gonna kill Kirkman.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

It'll be okay.

I just wish we had more time to figure everything out

before we did something so permanent.

Tom, if you feel that way, we shouldn't go through with this.

We don't have a choice. The only evidence we have is circumstantial.

We could be wrong.

The country can't afford another setback.

- Peter? -(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Everyone's waiting. It's time to leave.

What's wrong? We were supposed to be in the car 1O minutes ago.

I don't know if I can go through with this.

- Honey, of course you can. - No.

I think we need to rethink this thing.

It is perfectly normal to have cold feet,

but this is a great day for all of us.

It is exactly what we've been working for.

Yeah.

But at what cost?

At any cost necessary.

Peter, you were chosen to survive for a reason.

You've been given a tremendous responsibility

to restore this nation to the empire it once was and can be again.

Our friends placed their faith in you.

What would they think if they saw you like this?

You are on the cusp, Peter. This isn't the time for weakness.

Now, tell me you agree.

Tell me you agree, Peter.

- Okay. - Good.

Now, let's go.

(TIRES SCREECH)

(SIRENS WAILING)

Lisa. Excuse me, Cody.

Hey. I took your question to the president.

Let me guess, no comment?

If it was up to me? Honestly, yeah, no comment.

We've been too reactive around here

and that'll change, but the president appreciates you,

and we've decided to grant you

the exclusive on the Nassar investigation.

- Really? When? - Soon... For now,

let's let America celebrate. I'll be in touch.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Eighth floor. All clear.

(BEEPING)

(SIRENS WAILING)

-(BAND MUSIC PLAYING) - Clear.

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -(CHEERING)

MALE VOICE: Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

-(CROWD CHEERING) -(BAND PLAYING)

I wanted to take a moment before we get started

and congratulate you on becoming vice president.

Our country's got a long road to recovery

but this is another big step.

Thank you, sir. I won't let you down.

- Emily Rhodes. - AMANDA: Ms. Rhodes,

-it's Amanda at the switchboard. - Yes.

AMANDA: You asked me to look deeper

into Charles Langdon's phone records, June 23.

Uh, as it turns out, he wasn't in his office that day.

I'm sorry'?

AMANDA". I double-checked his schedule.

Uh, Mr. Langdon was on an overseas trip to Geneva.

EMILY: Then who made the call to the Pentagon?

His deputy, Aaron Shore.

Thank you.

Mr. President, it's time.

MALE VOICE: Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.

TOM: Good afternoon.

When I see how many of you have chosen to brave the elements

to mark this momentous occasion,

I can only tell you how inspired I am.

- TOM: Today, I stand on the site... -(HORN HONKS)

...of one of America's greatest tragedies

and offer the promise of America's rebirth.

The night I was sworn in as President of the United States,

this nation... our nation... was in the grips of chaos.

But now, as I look out on the Mall,

I don't see a people that were scared.

I don't see a people that were frightened.

- HANNAH: Excuse me. - TOM: I see we're strong...

Excuse me.

And that we are proud...

and that we are, once again, united.
