All language subtitles for Graves s01e02 You Started Everything.eng

Margaret: Previously on "Graves"...

Did you read that article
in Slate online?

"Richard Graves,
worst president in history."

This is your new
assistant Isaiah Miller.

Hi.

Wolf Blitzer:News of former
First Daughter Olivia Graves'

marriage dissolution has been confirmed.

Bring your car around back.

We're slipping out today.

Jacob: Seems Big Bird found
his way to his library

and did some redecorating.

You're out here getting high
with some random waitress you just met.

There's no way that was on the books.

- President Graves.
- Now you want the truth.

All right, the truth.

And this breaking news. CNN just learned

the furlough hearing
for Martin Treadwell,

President Richard Graves'
would-be assassin,

will be held in 30 days.

This is Treadwell's first release
request to be considered

since his attempt
on the president's life.

This is the last thing I need now today.

Really, the last fucking thing.

Isaiah, I don't want him to read
the paper or watch the news today.

Jacob, what's happening
with the president's library?

Being repaired. Should be
up and open in two weeks.

Still can't believe it.

All right, Richard's been asleep
for 12 hours now,

which is great because
I want him to rest.

I'm seriously worried about him.

I want him doing nothing
but relaxing, Isaiah.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Good morning, sweetheart.

Would you like a bowl for that, darling?

A spoon perhaps?

Ma'am, we should sign
these before we go.

For the Mothers of Veterans.

Oh, which reminds me, Isaiah,
one more thing, please.

- Later on, the president has
to FaceTime... - With your son Jeremy.

...from his army base in Afghanistan.

So Richard cannot be late.
He is always late.

- You get him there.
- Okay.

Jeremy's coming home in a few days,

which is to say I'm a nervous wreck.

FaceTime with Jeremy,
no Treadwell, got it.

Ramona, I'm assuming you're
getting Jeremy's room ready.

Of course, Mrs. Graves.

Okay, all I need is the sky not to fall.

And by the sky I mean my husband.

Reporter: And now the man
who pulled the trigger,

Martin Treadwell, who has spent every
day since in a mental health...

Good morning, sir. You look rested.

Oh, I feel rested. How are you, Isaiah?

You actually said my name.

(laughs) It's the little things, right?

- Yes, sir.
- (arguing in Spanish)

Ramona, what's wrong?

Gerardo wants to leave early for
his daughter's quincea?era.

Half the day, Mr. Graves.

Well, let him. It's fine. It's okay.

- Okay.
- (speaks Spanish)

I hear Livy's home.

(music playing)

So, how we holding up?

I don't know, Daddy.

It's the worst.

Oh, I'm so, so sorry.

You were always way,
way too good for that guy.

You know?

- I love you.
- I love you, Daddy.

I'm gonna go do some yoga.

All right, honey.

So, what appearance
of geopolitical importance

does my wife have planned for me today?

None, sir. She thought maybe some golf.

You know, take it easy today.
Just relax.

Yes, and then maybe we could
go to the rest home for bingo

and a water aerobics class.

Hmm?

Oh.

I would like to share
with you the truth about me.

And that is that I stand
here today only because

of all those women
who have paved the way,

who've opened doors for me.

And when I speak of women,
I'm not talking about

heads of state or famous
civil rights figures.

I'm talking about mothers.

I'm talking about you.

Long before I was First Lady,

before I was married
to then Governor Graves,

I was the daughter
of a divorced single mom

living paycheck to paycheck.

We had very little.

But what I did have was a mother

who made sure I knew exactly
how much she loved me.

Today I know your children will be
strong because of your strength.

It's you who has the power

to open doors for them.

Thank you so much for coming.

(applause)

Ah, you must be hungry, huh?

Thinking maybe like
a sandwich, try a salad.

- Think I saw some chili.
- There you are.

I wasn't sure you'd show. Dude,
the other night was insane.

Your wife looked a little pissed.

She didn't think that you and I were...

She's the First Lady, Samantha.

Yeah, I guess. You okay?

Yes. I'll have a coffee and
club sandwich, thank you.

Okay, so it's like that, huh?

The president is feeling
especially presidential right now.

Okay, whatever.

It's just I guess I was
a little concerned about you

- with the news and all today.
- What news is that?

I really don't think... did you have
any split pea... I feel like I saw...

The crazy dude that went
all "Taxi Driver" on you...

he's up for release.

Shit.

It's a ways off, sir.

Hmm.

Thank you for your honesty.

Unlike the ass-kissing
sycophant in my life,

you can't help but speak the truth.

My assistant Judas here

will give you a private number.

If there's anything you
ever need, please call me.

Thanks, Prez.

Home, Judas. Get me home right now.

(chatter)

There she is. Brilliant
as usual, Maggie.

Aw, thank you, Silas.

- How are you?
- Just right.

Michael Steele.

Good to see you, Mrs. Graves.

What are you doing way out here?

Donating to my shelter, I hope.

Not exactly.

We need to talk to you, darling.

Isaiah: But I promised Mrs. Graves
I would get you on this call.

Richard: Not gonna happen, you turncoat.

- Ramona: So how was lunch?
- Snakes in the grass, Ramona.

Fucking snakes in the grass.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell
you about the Treadwell news,

but I know this call is important.

Tell him I was held up.

- But he's your son.
- He hates me!

- (beeping)
- Oh, uh...

Who the hell are you?

I'm Isaiah Miller, sir. I'm
President Graves' new assistant.

Just please just go get my father.

He, um...

he couldn't make it.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Oh, well.

Then I guess this is how
we're gonna do this.

But I need you to really listen to me,
okay. Can you do that for me, Isaac?

It's Isaiah, but yeah, yeah.

First, I need you
to go tell the president

that I say hello and that
I wonder how he's doing.

And I'm really bummed
I missed him today, okay?

I figure he's super busy. I mean, you
know, not like in a war zone busy

where he only gets three minutes to talk

before he has to go light
a shit barrel on fire,

but whatever, it's all good.

Now, if he does ask about me,

I mean, if he happens to inquire
on his own, which he may not,

but if he does,
if he asks how I'm doing,

you can tell him that,
hey, I'm not dead,

so high fives all around on that.

You know, Jeremy, if I could just
jump in really quick, I think...

No, you cannot, Ivan, okay?

Because after the whole
Jeremy's alive celebration,

I need you to tell the old man
that I'm gonna be staying at home

with him and Mom for a little
while when I get back.

And if he seems foggy as to the
context of what you're saying,

if he just stares at you
with that blank fucking look,

maybe you could remind him that
the emotion he should be feeling

towards his son having to move
home after four years in the army

is compassion.

I'd go for happiness, but who the
fuck are we kidding here, right?

Got to lead a horse to water
and just pray to Christ

he doesn't try and drink
the goddamn sand.

You hear me, Graves? I know you do!

- (thuds)
- Richard: Ah, cocksucker!

Dad just took off running, didn't he?

Like a cheetah.

Maggie, we want you to run
for Tom Udall's Senate seat.

Stop it.

Come on, now.

Well, it's opening up as you know.

We think you can hold it.

You're really the only one who can.

Are you serious?

As the heart attack I had in June.

The Senate? Oh, I don't know, Silas.

You know. You've always known.

Guys, you'd have to have
an exploratory committee.

Consider yourself explored.

Your primary challenger would be

an antiestablishment protest candidate.

A bomb thrower just to the
right of Attila the Hun,

but polling well.

Well, that could get ugly.

Look, we need someone
with your compassionate voice

to help us rebrand the Republican Party.

Who would run it?

I was thinking Annie Novak.

She ran Susan Collins' last campaign.

I gave Annie her first job.

She knows you and Richard.
She's in town.

Available for breakfast
tomorrow to discuss.

Well, how about that?

Meet with Annie. Talk to her.

This is your time. Now or never.

I've honestly never considered it.

Mrs. Graves? Are you okay?

I was just asked to run for the Senate.

That just happened.

- No!
- Yes, just now.

Oh, my God.

I mean, at this point
in my life a senator?

It's amazing, ma'am. Would you
like to call the president?

No. Not yet.

I'm gonna...

I need to take some time and
own this for a couple of hours

before Richard just stomps
all over my moment.

Oh, my God. Wow, right?

Right.

Fucking wow!

Oh!

(exhales)

Wow.

Reporter: With Martin Treadwell's
furlough hearing now set,

Richard Graves is back in the news.

Scary. Staying on the subject,

we are reopening what
we affectionately call

the Graves Files.

Affectionately, my ass.

As we reported earlier, ICE has issued

the largest number
of deportation notices

it ever has at one time.

Widely called D-day

for this nation's undocumented workers,

it will affect thousands.

America's arcane detention
and deportation policies

can be traced back to the restrictions

Graves' conservative administration

put into effect two decades ago.

I've been requesting an interview

with President Graves
for more than 30 years.

He has yet to agree to a single one.

(turns off TV)

(music playing)

- Hi.
-
Sweeter than honey...

This song was written for me.

Hmm.

It was for Daddy's big
White House farewell bash

at the end of his second term.

Yeah, my mother always loved this song.

I bet.

(chuckles)

Come on. I want to show you something.

- Me? Right now?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, no, I'm actually
pretty uncomfortable...

Don't be such a fucking pussy.

No, no, I should
probably see what you...

- Wow.
-
Livy, don't leave us

I know. It freaks me out.

My childhood is a wax museum.

You're so sweet, Isaiah.

I don't know.

Something about you.

You understand all of this

on a meta level.

You really love us,

don't you?

It's deep with you.

Well, who wouldn't want
to be a part of all this?

- What are you doing?
- I need this, okay?

This isn't about you.
I'm very distraught.

This is how I process pain.

- Hold this.
- What?

(pants drop)

Oh! Oh, my God!

Holy shit.

Where the hell have you been?

Uh, I was, um...

It doesn't matter. Here, take these.

They're Jeremy's. Let's go.

- Go?
- On a mission.

(music playing)

(singing in Spanish)

So we're just crashing this
random family's quincea?era?

Don't get your panties all in a twist.

Gerardo's been my gardener for 30 years.

(cheering)

Today I am so proud.

When I came first here
for a better life,

I left her mother Anna in El Salvador.

Mmm.

My Anna would be proud

of what became of her little Julianita.

Te amo.

(applause, cheering)

Bravo. Bravo.

(music playing)

Call this woman.

Tell her I accept her interview.

Tomorrow, one-on-one exclusive.

Shouldn't your PR team handle it?

No, Benedict Arnold. This is between us.

- (laughs)
- Yeah, yeah, it's hysterical.

I didn't have time to change, okay?

(meows)

Hey, sir, do you mind
if I ask you a question?

You know, do you ever get
a chance to go on pause

and, you know, just chill out, stop
being the president for a while?

(laughs) No, it's more of a...

more constant.

Yeah, that kind of like
sticks with you forever, huh?

It's like some psycho one-night stand

who stalks you and ruins your life.

- (laughs)
- Let me ask you guys something.

Now, show of hands,
how many of your parents

came here illegally?

- All of you?
- Yeah.

I mean, don't look so surprised.

What, were you expecting us to be all,

"S?, se?or, mi presidente.

I cut your grass, mi jefe."

(laughing)

- Do the honors?
- Oh, sure.

It'll be a pleasure.

Bottoms up.

Oh, you got the worm.

Oh, thank you. Gracias.

(chanting in Spanish)

(cheering)

Oh, my God, that's so much.

I set the interview
for tomorrow morning,

which wouldn't be so terrifying

if you weren't on the precipice
of alcohol poisoning.

Your jet is ready,
so we should really...

ow.

You know, you've got
little, tiny baby fingers.

Yes, sir, I'm painfully aware.

Mr. President, I am so
honored that you came.

My whole family is.

No, no, it's me who's
honored to be here.

Thank you for everything.

Bueno.

- (music playing)
- (cheering)

Until death, kid, it's all life.

(singing in Spanish)

Shit.

Congratulations.

I'm sorry I'm late, Annie.

First Lady, what a pleasure.

Oh, I am so glad it's you.

Bullshit. I was available,
which I'm good with

because I've seen you behind the scenes.

You're smart, you're decisive,

and has anyone in history

ever looked better in a
black suit and red pumps?

I started that.

You started everything.

It's good to see you, too.

This is gonna be fun.

- I haven't said yes yet.
- You will.

The primary opponent is tough.

- Not tough, mean.
- I live with mean.

Thomas J. Nash. He's one of those

"can't get pregnant when raped"
guys who's hijacked the party.

He's hit a nerve. He's
charming, he's popular.

But you, you're more popular.

- Nash doesn't scare me.
- I know that.

Everybody knows that.

(phone ringing)

Margaret: Leave a message,
I'll get back to you.

Hey, it's me again, Mrs. Graves.

I'm sorry, but it's really very

sort of extremely vital we speak.

It's just that, well,
the sky is about to fall.

Then why is she changing her fucking
mind again? It's making me crazy.

- Ms. Wolf.
- Mr. President?

It's a pleasure finally meeting
you after all these years.

Me, too. It's an honor.

(chuckles)

Listen, I'm almost done here.

Would you like to wait a minute or...

Is something the matter?

Well, according to you,
I'm what's the matter.

I'd like you to please
stop approaching me.

You, with your liberal
agenda, have been tearing me

and my presidency a new one for years,

turning me into patient zero

for all of America's problems.

You need to just back the fuck off.

And you know what?
On this immigration thing,

you were absolutely...

(screams)

(groans)

I need security.

(coughs)

Okay, here's the truth,
Annie, about all of this.

I'm scared. I'm scared shitless.

I've spent so long
standing behind my husband,

and now I...

I feel like I'm trapped

inside this thing
we've created, this name.

And honestly, I'm not sure

I could survive outside of it alone.

Well, that sounds like a prison.

(phone chiming)

Oh, excuse me.

- Yes, Isaiah?
- Mrs. Graves! Oh, my God!

President Graves had
a meeting with Laura Wolf

and she says he tried to kill her.

Ma'am?

The president killed her?

No, no, no, he tried
according to Ms. Wolf.

And she wants to sue.

- Ma'am?
- I'm sorry, I have to leave.

But there's so much to discuss.

- Something's happened with Richard.
- What?

- I have to fly home.
- But give me one more hour, tops.

- This is my life.
- It won't be if you run for Senate.

It can't be.

We'll talk.

Bye.

(sighs) Yeah.

The man put his hands on me.

I have to sue, you know this.

I... I think you
misunderstood the president.

Really? I misunderstood?

"You've got to be kitten me."

I didn't have time to change.

Look, Ms. Wolf, whether you
agree with his politics or not,

President Graves has meant
so much to so many people.

Your judgment of his administration

doesn't have anything to do with
what is human about a president.

So please, for me and anyone

who's ever admired Richard Graves,

go easy on him.

Why should she? She was right.

She... no. Why are you...
I was just helping.

Richard: That's what I
was trying to tell her.

On certain issues, Isaiah,

I am patient zero.

What you just said, Mr. President,

would you be willing
to repeat on camera?

What? No.

Yes.

(music playing)

First of all, President Graves,

thank you for this interview.

Laura, it's a pleasure to be here.

- Ma'am,
- Yeah?

come quick.

You're not gonna believe this.

On your show recently,
you talked about the border

and my administration's policies,

the ripple effect leading up

to these mass deportation notices.

Well, what I did
and what others have done,

is... well, it's...

- it's a damn shame.
- Sir?

There's a quote I love
from George Washington.

He said, "I had always hoped

that this land might become

a safe and agreeable asylum

to the virtuous and persecuted
part of mankind

to whatever nation they might belong."

This was the dream
of our very first president.

So I asked myself

how would Washington feel

if he could see what
we've done to his dream?

He'd blow his fucking brains out.

What?

Richard.

Sir, reminder, we're on live.

How many more people
need to live in fear

in the shadows of America

while they labor in the fields
of our largest corporations,

cultivate, pick, cook our food,

fix our cars, clean our homes,

clean our offices, our toilets?

I promise you, Laura,
the evidence of your last shit

was bleached away clean
by a tiny Hispanic woman

whose name you didn't have the decency

to ask for or care about.

Fuck, yeah.

And for what? It's a moral shit show

that's playing out every day as we hide

Mexican and South American
men, women, and children

in the attics of our collective lives.

As far as I'm concerned,

to make amends
for my past transgressions,

any of these undocumented workers

that received their deportation notices,

if they want to come out
to my compound in Santa Fe,

you're more than welcome.

And I dare Immigration
to take you off my land.

They don't have the balls.

What the hell is he doing?

- Thank you, President Graves.
- God bless you, Laura.

And God bless
the United States of America.

I'm so fired. I'm so fired.

Okay, that interview,
everybody's seen it by now.

I... I... that's total insanity.

You have never been this...

undisciplined, unhinged.

My God, New York and now...

I mean, Richard,
how worried should I be?

'Cause I'm starting
to really freak out here.

I'm sorry, Maggie, but...

I don't know. I mean...

(sighs)

I'm tired of being a shadow.

You know, I almost died once before.

And...

I need to start living.

Yours hasn't been a life?

You haven't been living?

No, no, no, not us. I mean me.

I need to start living in an...

authentic way.

Do you understand what I mean?

Maggie, please. Tell me you understand.

- Because I just don't...
- It's okay. It's okay.

You're gonna be okay.

It's okay.

It's just me.

It's just us.

I love you, Maggie.

I love you, Richard.

It's okay.

(horns honking)

Do you hear something?

(honking continues)

Hey, Mr. Presidente!

- It's us, remember?
- It's us, remember?

- Mr. Presidente!
- Mr. Presidente!

What have you done?

(chuckles)

Yeah. Yeah.
