Previously on
Designated Survivor...

Dax Minter has been arrested.

I'm sorry that you got pulled
into all of this.

I'm not. I made a friend.

I'm moving to San Francisco.

You go get 'em out there.

When this hacking
investigation is over,

you will have learned much about America
you can share.

Maybe enough to keep yourself alive.

Hannah!

- I found something.
- Valeria Poriskova?

Minter tried to get rid of me
and make it look like Frost did it.

Who better to hire than a Russian agent
who you've been clashing with?

Valeria missed me and killed Damian.

I can't let you hunt down Valeria.

You lay those down,
you may not get 'em back.

Bye, Aaron.

I'm just trying to find Valeria Poriskova.

- Never heard of her.
- She lives here. This is her house.

Where's Valeria?

Where is she?

Freeze! Hands up!

You the guy who called 911?

- Yeah, this maniac tried to kill me.
- Who are you?

- I'm Hannah Wells. I work for...
- You work for who?

Never mind.

Hands on the wall.

Kendra.

Good morning.

I didn't want to wake you,
but do you know where the other one is?

Kitchen.

Yes. Okay.

I'll help you.

No, I got it.

Okay.

I'm gonna show myself out.

Sounds good.

Morning.

Good morning.

Where are we at on the defense budget?

- Sir, we have a congressional consensus.
- $726 billion.

Those are numbers, not substance,
so there must be a problem.

Senators Crowell and Feller
are shifting goalposts again.

This deal took six months to negotiate.
What's their agenda?

We don't know, but something's up.

- Maybe we should find out what it is.
- Yes, sir.

In the meantime,
I'll get the senators here.

Today. This bill is too important.
We need to keep our eye on the ball.

Turn on Beltway Beat.

This presidency has finally run aground.

Now, Tom Kirkman is a good man,
a fine man.

But he is an amateur in a job
that demands a professional.

What this country needs more than anything else
right now is leadership,

and I am afraid President Kirkman is simply
out of his depth.

He's taken a flamethrower to you
since the 25th Amendment proceeding.

Lyor, it called the First Amendment.
He can say whatever he wants.

But he can't leak classified information,

which is a crime,
and he's a repeat offender.

No one'd like to prosecute Moss
more than me.

But we all know that it's next to impossible
to prove.

It would look like I'm using this office
to settle personal political scores.

What about a special counsel, then?

Someone with no allegiance
to the administration.

Attorney General Beckett
could appoint one for you.

I don't like the way it'll look.

If anyone else had done it,
you'd prosecute, right?

If I had the evidence, yes.

You can't go after Moss
for political reasons,

but you can't protect him
for political ones either.

- Turn on DC News Daily.
- I hate television.

If I'd left it to the administration,
that kid'd still be in a prison in Bultan.

So, the president
did not help negotiate

Matthew Jennings' release?

Sure, if by help,
you mean hinder.

- What a pest.
- Not just any pest.

He's a termite, eating away at our foundation.
He's a scorpion to our frog.

I don't think so.

I think he's a solution.

To what?

We want to prosecute Moss,
we'd have to appoint someone

that was considered an unfriendly,
whose impartiality can't be questioned.

Who went after you in the 25th Amendment
proceeding and still takes shots.

Use one problem to solve the other.

That's damn good.

Okay, okay.

Hi, Trey, it's Kendra.

You left your wallet here.

Sure, I can wait, okay.

Senator, the VA budget has increased.

And I honestly believe our veterans
will get absolutely everything they need.

Not enough to keep pace with inflation,
but billions for unneeded new aircraft?

I'm sympathetic, but it's the best we could do.
You knew where the GOP stands.

Yes, sir, but where do you stand?

You're 20 months into your administration,
still trying to govern as an Independent.

It's the wrong path
and it's not too late to change course.

What exactly are you trying to say?

That on every social issue that matters,
you're a Democrat,

and my party needs a leader.

With all due respect, I'm looking
at a perfectly capable leader right now.

Yes, sir, but I'm not gonna run for president.

We're 16 months from the general election

and you still haven't spoken to us
about your plans.

We have to get our ducks in a row, sir,
and we're hoping...

Senator, you wanna talk about the future
and I wanna talk about the present.

This bill should be our priority
right now.

I appreciate that, sir.

You want our green light,
you'll need some movement from the GOP.

Did that just happen?

Yeah. She's using the DOD budget as leverage
to bring you into the fold.

It's not gonna work.

If we can't get her to compromise,
we'll get Senator Feller move.

Mark it down.
The race for the presidency just started.

- His expression of interest...
- It was a proclamation of disinterest.

- Sixteen months is a long time...
- An eon.

- ...except in a presidential campaign.
- Nope.

- So it begins.
- Yeah.

Kendra?

Kendra?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait!

- It's me. You okay?
- Yeah.

- It's me.
- Okay.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Just take this. Okay.

What matters is that
you're both all right.

- Kendra, do you need anything else?
- I'm fine. Thank you, sir.

Mr. President, this is Detective Pineda.

Detective, what do you know?

Not much, sir.
We're still canvassing the scene.

Ms. Daynes, if you could take us through it.

I was getting ready for work.
I heard a sound.

I was expecting Trey... Mr. Kirkman.

And, um... then I heard glass shattering.

I must've got there a few minutes
after whoever did this left.

You'd just arrived?

No, I was there, but then I left.
I came back for my wallet.

Do you think that this was a burglary?

No, sir, nothing was taken.

I consider it an attack
on the White House.

- Detective, run everything through Mike.
- Yes, sir.

We'll keep the circle on this
as tight as possible.

Ms. Daynes, we'll need to get
a full statement.

Thank you. Excuse me for one moment.

Trey.

I know what you're gonna say.

Firstly, thank God you weren't hurt.

Is that it?

Why were you doing there?

Kendra and I were at that Kennedy Center thing.

We got to talking, got sangria
at that tapas joint and...

Trey, Kendra is part of my staff.
I cannot allow that to be compromised.

I hope you understand.

I get it.

Okay, thanks.

Sit tight. Mike'll wanna talk to you.

Kendra, I'm so sorry.

- You know where my mind keeps going?
- Where?

Every hang-up I've had
in the last six months,

every time something got lost in the mail.

My mind would be going there, too.
But it doesn't mean there's a connection.

I know Ritter is chasing down every lead
but it's my home.

What if they'd found me?

Let's talk about something else,
something that is none of my business.

- Let's not.
- What? It's Trey. It's a big deal.

It is a big deal.

Three months since I've been with anyone,
and I manage to hook up with Kirkman's brother

right before someone
nearly Patty Hearsts my ass.

Yeah, the timing's not great.

If I didn't have bad timing,
I wouldn't have timing at all.

- Think this could be a thing?
- It was one night.

It could be another one.

He's smart and cute.
And you know where to find each other.

Yeah, I'll be in the bathroom
with a baseball bat,

and he'll be trying to bash me
with a candlestick.

It's the beginning
of every great love story.

Take the day if need be.
No one expects you to be here.

It's what I expect of myself.
I'm an advocate, not a victim.

- I won't let anything change that.
- Okay.

Your title would be Special Prosecutor.

Not interested.

It's a high-profile post.

For an errand boy.

- You'll be a Justice Department appointee.
- Justice answers to the president.

You'll have a mandate.

Complete independence.
The president gives you his word.

My only agenda would be to find the truth.

I'll take that as far as it goes.
He has to know that.

- When can you start?
- Immediately.

Good. The important thing is to avoid
even the appearance of impropriety,

so no coordination with the White House,
none whatsoever.

You answer only to the Attorney General.

I agree, which is why I need you
to do one thing for me.

Yeah, what's that?

Leave.

You realize you were played, right?
The guy you attacked worked for Valeria.

All you're getting closer to
is getting yourself locked up.

What are you doing anyway?

She killed Damian, Aaron.

- She can't get away with it.
- You don't know if she's in the country.

Even if she were,
you're a private citizen now.

You don't have cover
for your shenanigans anymore.

- Why are you here?
- My middle name is cover.

There's this other thing.

What do you need?

Ethan West has been appointed
special counsel to look into Moss.

He's conducting interviews.

- You need me to talk to him?
- Yeah.

So, you investigated
former president Moss for murder?

Yes, for the killing of
a British member of parliament.

He was exonerated, right?

He was, but he still obstructed justice

by lying about his relationship
to the victim to investigators.

- Was he charged for that?
- No.

Was Secretary Moss a suspect
in your hacking investigation?

Yes.

But not the culprit?

No. I don't know what you're asking,
because it was my understanding

Moss was being investigated
for leaking classified information.

My charter is to investigate
all of the Secretary's alleged wrongdoing.

- Yours is to cooperate.
- That's correct.

- I'm here to answer any questions you have.
- Good, let's carry on.

Thank you for coming, senators.

We have spent billions and billions
of dollars developing the F44,

only to be met with delay after delay.

Simply throwing more money at it
is a bad investment.

You won't say that
when we roll the plane out.

Next to nuclear power, it'll be the greatest
deterrent this country's ever known.

Senator Crowell doesn't agree.

Well, she's wrong.

We don't have to spend money
taking care of our soldiers

if we stop wars from starting
in the first place.

You wanna know
where I stand on this?

We had a deal and now we don't.
It's unacceptable.

I understand
the frustration, sir.

You're trying to wrangle two parties.

Maybe it would be better
if you only had to wrangle one.

Excuse me?

General election, GOP needs a candidate.
You would make a fine one.

I don't know what's in the water
around this place lately,

but I'm not drinking it. Senator,
we're here to talk about the bill.

- Mr. President...
- If the election were tomorrow,

I would not run as a Republican
nor a Democrat.

You are fiscally conservative, strong
on defense. We can work with the rest.

- Senator, please.
- The country needs your leadership.

If you're ready to lead,
you need the right team behind you.

We're not here to talk
about my political future.

We're here to talk about the military
spending bill. So why don't we do that?

And you have our position.

If you want a deal,
bring Senator Crowell around.

How the hell did we get to this place
where both parties are asking me to lead?

One of the parties
is circling a candidate,

but they'd rather back the incumbent.

And the other party caught wind of it.
It's a feeding frenzy.

And you're the meal, sir.

This talk of elections
is too big of a distraction.

We need to make it perfectly clear, to both
parties, that I'm inflexible on this issue.

Hi, Trey. I'm so sorry, but it's not
a good time to talk right now.

You have
a beautiful home, Ms. Daynes.

I'm sorry I wasn't able
to tell you in person.

Who is this?

I need you to look into
an unsolved murder.

Lewis Garren, shot to death in 2008,
and nobody cares.

I wanna know who this is.

Lewis Garren.
Look into who killed him.

Or next time,
I'll do more than mess up your place.

I was an AUSA back then,
but I didn't work the Garren case.

The file says that a Gabe Herlihy
was a person of interest.

Then the trail went cold.

Herlihy. I tried him
for a different murder: Pete Archer.

But we cut Herlihy a deal in order
to finger a cartel. Witness protection.

That's why the FBI couldn't hang
the Garren murder on him.

He was already in witness protection.

Why break into my place?
I had nothing to do with Garren.

My guess is Garren
is a stalking horse.

- Why?
- Garren was a dirtbag,

with no next of kin.
Nobody would want his murder avenged.

That leaves Pete Archer.

What can you tell us about him?

His family was devastated
we let Herlihy skate.

Mom committed suicide.
Dad went into a grief spiral.

Last I heard, Pete's brother Mickey
was circling the drain.

Herlihy can't be prosecuted
for Pete Archer, right?

Not per the terms of his deal, no,
but he still can for Garren.

We never officially gave him
immunity for that.

Something the Archers might know.

We need to look into them.

- Hey, Chuck.
- Aaah!

Hannah.

I can't help you if you're not working
for the White House.

Relax. I need a sounding board, okay?
Not a lecture.

So, I'm trying to hunt down Valeria,
but she got the jump on me.

She knows her enemy.
She knew you'd come for her.

She double-crossed the Russians
by working for Dax Minter.

Which means if the Russians find her,
they will kill her.

So instead of skipping town,
she tries to get me arrested?

She obviously wants you
out of commission, Hannah.

Yeah, but why?

Hey, nice talking to you.

This was a great...

...heart attack.

Okay, just for fun, I'll give one last word

to the youngest spelling bee champion
in this nation's history.

This is a tough one. Soubrette.

Soubrette. S-O-U-B-R-E-T-T-E. Soubrette.

She's right again.

That's amazing. Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Thank you, pool. Appreciate it.

Mr. President, are you running?

Only from you.

What about reports you refused overtures
to join the Republicans or Democrats?

I'm a registered Independent.
Nothing has changed.

No thought of re-election?

The only thing I'm thinking right now
is about the DOD budget

that's languishing because Senators Crowell
and Feller have decided to play politics.

So I'm inviting them and
their respective parties to come back to work

and do their jobs.
Thank you, everybody, thank you.

Sir, one follow-up.

A follow-up, sir.

Did the president call out the Speaker
and minority leader

- in front of the entire press pool?
- Yup.

How do you spell catastrophe?

Swift reaction
from congressional leadership

to the president's accusations

both parties are politicizing
the issue of America's security.

- They're taking your words out of context.
- Not the first time.

They're just getting started, sir.
You really poked the bear this time.

You poked the bear,
the donkey, the elephant.

You pissed off the whole zoo.

Which will make a deal on DOD-funding
harder to reach.

If the microscope is on me,
it's on the leadership, too.

Sir...

- Can I be frank?
- When are you not?

The real governance question
isn't whether you'll run.

It's whether Washington thinks you'll run.

And if they know you're not,
you're a lame duck.

I haven't made my decision.

De facto, you have.
The defense bill is a litmus test, sir.

You used it to thumb your nose
at both parties.

Which means they're gonna move on.

It's harder to govern
when Congress thinks you don't want to.

Look, sir, you don't have to declare.
You can just affiliate.

Leave open the possibility
you want to run.

If I decide to run,
I'm doing it as an Independent.

Not credibly, sir.

The last Independent to win
the White House was George Washington

and he'd won a little thing
called the Revolutionary War.

Thank you for your counsel, but
I'm not gonna affiliate myself with any party

- just to pass a bill.
- Then we're out of options.

Then we better find some, and fast,
because this legislation needs to pass.

I'll put out a statement
that the president

- has the utmost respect for both parties.
- No.

It's time to play offense, not defense.
Be critical. Take them to task.

We need to be proactive to get
our legislative initiative back on track.

Which is why I'm gonna find out
who our mystery candidate is.

How'll that help us?

If I can take the shine off him,
we'll return to the status quo,

focusing on the DOD bill
and the president's agenda.

For how long?
The election's in 16 months.

- Both parties'll eventually move on.
- And our guy and our agenda are toast.

Why does a special prosecutor
wanna talk to me?

There are allegations
that President Moss

compromised this
administration's security.

They're facts, sir, not allegations.

- Let's focus on one fact: the NASA hack.
- I'm familiar with it.

Moss back channeled with the Russians
without the president's authorization?

Yes, he promised Ambassador Pavlov

the US would not investigate
Russia's involvement with Icarus Astrotech

if Moscow would cooperate
in saving the space station.

How did you learn this?

Hannah Wells confirmed
Moss' shadow diplomacy.

He lied to her during the course
of her investigation.

Hannah Wells. There's that name again.

- She works a lot for the White House?
- Yes, she was detailed here.

Did she find anything
that unambiguously points

to crimes Moss committed?

- Well, that's for you to decide, isn't it?
- So it is.

Let's go through my list of malfeasance.

- See if we can shed some light on it.
- All right.

Chuck, I know why Valeria
wanted me out of the way.

So she could toss my condo.
The place is completely ransacked.

- Anything gone?
- I don't know.

There's nothing here to take.
What was she looking for?

Funny coincidence: Damian's apartment
was broken into a few days ago.

- You didn't think to tell me that?
- You don't work here anymore.

Forget it. What was missing
from Damian's place?

Nothing, we'd already cleaned it out.

So, she decided to toss my place,
thinking it might be here.

- That'd be my guess.
- Valeria gets burned.

Russia's trying to kill her. What could
Damian have that would help her?

Maybe something she could trade Moscow
in exchange for her life.

Where are Damian's personal effects?

Evidence lockup, secure facility.
Don't worry. Valeria can't get in.

Maybe I can.

Press release is out,
criticizing both parties

- for dragging their feet on the DOD budget.
- And not supporting our soldiers. Good.

See? We changed the narrative.
It's not Kirkman failing the system...

- It's the system failing him. How'd it go?
- Hard to say.

West was all over
Hannah's investigation into Moss.

Wonderful. It means he's digging in,
looking to buttress his case.

I hear Moss will be at the questioning,
and he won't take the Fifth.

No, he's too proud for that.
That means he'll hang himself.

- Seth, wanna get a press release ready?
- No.

Lyor, the former president getting indicted
is no cause for celebration.

Who's celebrating?
"It is with a heavy heart

the administration acknowledges the need

to hold our elected officials accountable,
even former presidents."

- So, celebrating.
- The best day ever.

I'm pleased you've agreed
to answer my questions, President Moss.

Against the advice of counsel.

- But I have nothing to hide.
- Then I'll cut to the chase.

Did you leak classified information
to the press?

No.

The negotiations between
East and West Hun Chiu?

Yes, President Lee
did disclose them to me,

but all I did was pass
that information along.

The subpoena the First Lady received
in the Icarus Astrotech...

The mere fact she was subpoenaed
was not confidential.

The items requested by the subpoena
may have been, but I did not disclose them.

The White House's
internal ethics investigation?

Was not a classified matter.

Surely, you can do better.

What about your obstruction
in the Charlotte Thorn case?

- Lying to investigators.
- Well, I did not lie.

I admit I could've been more forthcoming,

but President Kirkman deemed
my behavior unworthy of prosecution.

Now, if you think it is,
I will use his words as my defense.

I did nothing wrong.

For an innocent guy,
you arouse a lot of suspicion.

Yes, and you might want to ask yourself
why that is.

Why the president sicked his personal
guard dog, Hannah Wells, on me...

over and over again.

Why did he do that?

Animus, jealousy, take your pick.

All I can tell you is that
I will not disavow anything I've done.

And if I need to go to court
to vindicate my reputation, I will.

I appreciate you taking
the time to see me, Tom.

Meeting with an enemy
is a civilized thing to do.

You think I'm the enemy?

Advocating for a special counsel
doesn't make you a friend.

I've done nothing wrong.

Well, if you've done nothing wrong,
you've nothing to fear.

Cooperate with the investigation,
it should be over in a moment.

But it won't be, no.
No, this is just the beginning.

Special counsel is a Pandora's box.

You're a student of history.
You should know that.

I'm not gonna fire him, Cornelius.

He should never have been appointed.

You and I both know the truth.

- And you're gonna be held accountable.
- Yes.

Yes, I am gonna be held accountable, Tom.

And so are you.

Because if I'm charged with anything,
you know what my defense will be?

I've got a pretty good idea.

You will be my defense.

I was protecting the country
from Tom Kirkman,

his inexperience, his recklessness.

Your name will be my refrain,

my psalm,

my salvation.

And you think that that's somehow
supposed to scare me?

I think it's supposed
to make you see reason.

Two presidents going after each other?
You think that's good for the republic?

That's what you're doing here.

You're going to save the republic now.
How noble of you.

I've come here to talk common sense.

But I see you're past that.

Cornelius, you and I have very different
ideas about what's good for this country.

Yes, but going after
both political parties?

A former president?

If you really think that's what's best
for this country,

you shouldn't be sitting in that chair.

But I am.

Good luck, Cornelius.

You're talking about a 20-year-old case.
Let me get this straight.

You're saying my son Mickey
is a suspect in a break-in?

And you think he followed it up
with a threatening phone call?

We just need to find him and ask him
some questions. That's all.

I have no idea where Mickey is.

We haven't spoken in weeks.

I spend most of my time in chemo,
not keeping tabs on my son.

Well, we're worried about him, sir.

Because his red pickup
was seen near Ms. Daynes' home.

Right around the time
it was broken into.

If Mickey was involved
and we have to find him,

it might not go well for him.

Why is she here?

To make a personal appeal, sir.

I know what Pete's murder
has done to your family.

What you did to my family.

By giving that animal Herlihy
witness protection.

Yes. And I'm sorry that
Pete's killer wasn't prosecuted.

And I'm sorry you're sick.

Maybe he's trying to get justice
before it's too late.

I don't want any more harm
to come to your family,

- so if Mickey did break into my place...
- He didn't.

I won't press charges. I'll get him help.

Help?

I know what kind of help you're good for.

You did nothing to bring Pete's killer
to justice.

And now, you're coming after my other son.

Mr. Archer, I'd think hard
about Ms. Daynes' offer,

which goes against my advice.

Tell us where Mickey is.
Let us bring him in.

I want you all out of my house. Now.

Mickey Archer has no
phone number, no known address.

- We don't have a lead.
- Yeah, we do.

You see that picture
Ms. Daynes was looking at?

- What about it?
- Duckwall Bait & Tackle.

It's a little fishing village
in West Virginia.

It's pretty out of the way.
Good place to go fishing.

Or disappear. Let's see
if we can reel Mickey Archer in.

That's Archer's red pickup
over there.

- Secret Service.
- Oh, yeah.

Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.

Mickey Archer?

We searched Mickey Archer's trailer.

There were reams of material
on the Garren killing, pretty obsessive.

He was trying to make a case
against Herlihy.

Until he ran out of patience.

His father only has a few months to live

and Mickey figured
Ms. Daynes could speed things up.

Kendra, I'm sorry it ended this way,
but I'm glad you're okay.

Thank you, sir.

I've been back channeling with
the leadership about the defense bill.

Their positions have hardened.

- Meaning if I don't pick a side...
- You're gonna be the fall guy,

especially if we can't pass legislation.

Sir, going it alone
is finally taking its toll.

I think you need to pick a party,
Mr. President.

If I don't?

Then we stumble to the finish line,
with no allies and no leverage.

Bring the leadership back up here.
We've got a decision to make.

Yes, sir.

- It appears that we are at an impasse.
- Yes, sir.

We have real differences
with the majority on this legislation.

Yes, I know. Differences that we've spent
months working out together,

until you both tried
and leverage me for political gain,

at the expense of the men and women
who fight and die for us,

who allow us to sit here in this office
and play God with their lives,

telling them which guns they can use,

planes they can fly,
medicines they can get.

Mr. President...

Senators, I have no intention
of joining either of your parties.

When declared myself an Independent,
I meant it.

It's that very independence
that's given me credibility.

Respectfully, sir,
you'll have less if you go it alone.

Perhaps, but not today.

My staff has drawn up a final bill,

one that reflects the bipartisan work
we did together.

And both of your parties will endorse it.

And if we don't?

I will take whatever political capital
I have left

and I will make my case to the people.

I will tell them that I believe
partisanship is ruining this country,

and that their representatives
are more interested

in keeping their power
than serving the people

and the soldiers that defend them.

Everyone in your caucuses will have copies
of this by the end of the hour.

I suggest you get your people
to fall in line.

Thank you.

In a stunning win
for the White House,

both parties' senate leadership...

Hey, come on in.

...have endorsed
Kirkman's sweeping defense bill.

- The unexpected development...
- Congratulations.

Thank you very much. How are you doing?

Better. Now that this is all over.

What is it?

I hope this thing with Kendra isn't over.

Trey, I thought I made myself
perfectly clear.

Tom, do you think
I'm gonna embarrass you?

That I'm gonna hook up
with a member of your senior staff

and then blow her off?

I think you have a history with that.

Yeah, one I've spent a lot of time
trying to live down,

but I can't do that unless you let me up.

Trey, this isn't a joke.
Optics are everything here.

I like her, Tom,
not just as a notch on my belt,

but as someone I wanna get to know.

All those meetings
for Alex's foundation I pressed for?

That was so I could see her.

Really?

Yeah.

I think you should tell her that.

How you doing?

Good.

And by good, you mean bad.

I was an AUSA for six years.

All I ever worried about
was my conviction rate.

Like any decent prosecutor.

So I gave Herlihy a pass on Pete Archer

so he could help me make
a half a dozen cases, and he did.

- The greater good.
- Not for the Archers.

The mom took her own life.

Both of the sons are dead.

And the dad is really sick.
There's no justice.

And I feel like...

the last place in the world I wanna go tonight
is my own home.

So crash on my couch.

You'll wake up with a backache so bad,
you won't be able to think of anything else.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I'll go home and get a couple of things.

I will go get your stuff. The idea is
to keep you away from home, right?

- I'll go right after work.
- You're sure?

Keys.

Thanks, Emily.

- What do you want?
- Five minutes.

To do what?

To go through Damian's
personal belongings.

Hannah, you know I can't let you do that.

Why not?

We keep having this conversation.
You don't work for the White House.

You're on a leave of absence.
It's your choice.

I know.

Even if you were credentialed,
it's just personal belongings.

FBI's been all over it.
There's no evidence of anything.

Damian died in my arms.
I didn't get to say goodbye.

I never do.

I'm not looking for evidence, Aaron.

I need closure.

Five minutes, Hannah. No more.

Thanks, Aaron.

"See you at our spot"?

Why would you keep this?

Hannah, if you're watching this,

then I'm dead.

I need you to know what I was trying
to hand you that night, on the bridge.

Chelsea, 842 Hammersmith Lane,
Apartment 6B.

That's the address of my daughter Amy
in London.

Because if I'm dead, Valeria will come
for her to close the loop,

because Russia will think that Amy
knows something that she shouldn't.

But all Amy knows is what it's like
to be a 16-year-old girl with no mom

and a father she thinks
is in the foreign service.

A father who, I suppose, is now gone.

I guess it doesn't really
matter now, but...

I want you to know something,
as well, Hannah.

I really wish things had worked out
differently between us.

But if I mattered to you,
even just a little bit,

please do this for me, okay?

Please protect my daughter.

There's no one else I can trust.

842 Hammersmith Lane, Apartment 6B.
That's where you'll find her.

I need a ticket
to London Heathrow tonight.

I'm hearing they caught the guy.

Hi. Excuse me. Yeah.

He tried to shoot his way out,
which didn't end well for him, but...

The guy who's at the root of it all,
Gabe Herlihy,

he's coming in for questioning.

- No immunity?
- No.

Herlihy killed Garren before he went
into witness protection,

which means he lied,
and lying voids his immunity deal.

Good, then you get
to put an end to all this.

Listen, I wanna talk to you
about... last night.

I wanted to apologize.

I'm not really big on follow-up.

I'm sorry if you feel used.

Used?

Well, that's just my MO.
I don't really date.

When I meet someone I actually like,

I tend to screw it up.

Did I?

Well, I'm wounded.

Being taken advantage of for my body,

it's just...

It's getting so old.

How can I make it up to you?

Dinner this weekend?

Only if we skip the tequila this time
and the home invasion.

Uh, it's a date.

Seth, slow down. Start over.

The mystery candidate,
it's Cornelius Moss.

- I got it from a reliable source.
- Wow.

So he's gonna run for president again?

I knew he was trying to get back
in the game.

When you snubbed both parties,
his stock rose.

There's a million reasons
you don't want Moss to run.

He'd be a formidable adversary.

His candidacy puts a cloud
over the special counsel's investigation.

- Mr. President, he's here.
- Thank you. I'll be right there.

He'll use his platform
to attack your administration, sir.

I can't control what Moss does
or when he does it.

All I can do is what I think is right.
We'll handle it.

Let justice be done
though the heavens may fall.

They're gonna fall,

unless West gets to Moss
before Moss gets to a microphone.

Mr. West, thank you for waiting.

Thank you for the time, sir.

I'm nearly ready to issue my preliminary
findings. I just have a few questions.

And I am at your disposal.

Hannah Wells,
she worked in the White House?

Yes, she was reassigned here
shortly after the Capitol bombing.

There were facets in the FBI that were
interfering with her investigation.

Then-acting director Foerstel and I

believed this was the best way
to protect her.

She was your Swiss Army knife, right?

You had her drop off money
to rebels in Kunami.

If by Swiss Army knife,
you mean that she was versatile, yes.

And, yes, I had her deliver funds
to rebel forces in Kunami.

And to investigate Secretary Moss'
alleged obstruction in...

No, we were in a state of war.

Mr. West, you don't have
the security clearance

to continue this discussion.

As I understood it,

you're here to investigate
Moss' wrongdoings.

- Well, I investigated President Moss.
- And?

I found evidence of bad judgment,
narcissism, pettiness.

- But those things aren't crimes.
- And his classified leaks?

I can't prove he leaked
just 'cause you said he did.

He leaked classified information
to undermine my potential candidacy.

How do you know that?

An internal investigation
conducted by my staff.

Mr. West, motive matters.

Yes, it does.

You deployed Hannah Wells to find dirt
on a man you knew was a political opponent.

That is absolutely not true.

She conducted warrantless searches,
unlawful surveillance.

Where the hell is this going?

I have probable cause to believe
you were part of a criminal conspiracy.

I'll have to notify the Attorney General
of my findings.

Okay, this discussion is over.

And I'm not talking with you again
without White House counsel.

That may be the first thing we agree upon,
Mr. President.

I had the honor of serving
this great country as its 44th president.

Since that time,
we have suffered a crisis of leadership.

And though I never intended
to run for office again,

when my country needs me,
I answer the call.

Today, I am proud and humble

to announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination

for president of this great nation.

Cornelius Moss, the once
and future president of the United States!

Moss was right. I opened Pandora's box.

But we don't know
what's going to come out of it.

Ethan West is going to forward
his findings to the Attorney General.

It's not clear a sitting president
can be indicted for anything.

That's not the point.

An indictment would precipitate
a constitutional crisis.

And cripple your presidency.

And end thoughts of a second term,
assuming you had thoughts.

I want you all
to do something for me.

Yes, sir.

Go home.

Get a good night's sleep,
'cause you're gonna need it.

We'll be back here first thing tomorrow.
You know why?

Why, sir?

'Cause we're gonna do our jobs.

We'll keep doing them
until someone makes us stop.

Thank you, all of you.

- Gabe Herlihy is dead.
- What?

He was being brought into the FBI
for questioning and a sniper got him.

We got a snatch
of the shooter's license plate.

- Car came back to Fred Archer.
- The dad.

We don't think he and Mickey
were trying to bring Herlihy to justice.

They were trying to flush him out
of witness protection

- so they could kill him.
- You need to be under 24-hour protection.

You can't go home.

Emily.

Girl, you have more shoes than I do.

Emily!

Emily!
