All language subtitles for Madam Secretary S02E05

Was that your publisher?

Yeah. Apparently, my book is a best seller.

Congratulations!

Hey, you think they'll
make it into a movie?

Okay, let me clarify
what "best seller" means

in the religious nonfiction market.

700 copies sold.

Just over 1,000, baby.

I guess my sales shot up

when my rant on C-SPAN went viral.

Nothing like a well-placed tantrum

to spike your popularity.

I prefer trenchant social commentary.

Oh, whatever, Kanye McCord.

But I take him every day.

I know, and I would, but
I have an early class.

Can you drop Jason off this morning?

- Mm-hmm, sure.
- Thanks.

I have to be at school early today.

I joined the school paper.

- Really? That's great news.
- Oh, that's awesome.

You're a reporter? What's your beat?

That's, you know, journalist talk.

I'm writing a weekly column.

- About what?
- Fashion.

But your school has uniforms.

All the more reason to obsess
about the weekend looks.

I'll write about trends,

what's in, what's out.

Some of it's psychological, too.

Like, why do we keep
giving block heels a chance?

Right? Nobody look good in those.

Hey, hey, hey.

I wear block heels.

You walked right into that one, Dad.

I thought I might contrast

expensive looks with
affordable alternatives.

Then I can write about makeup, too.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Maybe we could go to the mall this weekend

and check out the higher-end makeup lines.

Then I can find similar
shades in the drugstore brands.

Compare and contrast, you know?

- Mom.
- Hang on one second.

Anton Gorev wants to speak to me.

- Last I heard, he was holed up in London.
- Mom.

Just... baby, give me a minute.

Forget it. I have to go.

Is she mad?

I heard mall, makeup,

and then I kind of went out.

She wants you to take her to the mall.

Oh, I can do that.

I gotta make this call, though.

Okay. And, for the record,

I think you look great in block heels.

- Nice try.
- I...

I'm sure you know

that Prime Minister
Rozovsky is stepping down

as Acting President of Russia,

and that Maria Ostrov asked
for a special election,

to be held in 30 days.

- A blatant power grab on her part.
- Yeah.

She's asking for

an open and vigorous debate,

but given the amount of influence

she's amassed in the last month,

I doubt anyone's going to
step up to challenge her.

I will challenge her.

And I will win.

I'm listening.

Mrs. Ostrov may have the
generals in her pocket,

but the tensions she is
fomenting with Ukraine

are bad for business.

Russia's highest-ranking officials

and billionaires want peace,

not war.

They want me.

But to mount a campaign, I need my money.

When Pavel Ostrov died,

you said you hoped I would succeed him.

And I meant it.

Well, Elizabeth, the
wheel is still turning.

Good morning, "A" team.

Reading your memo.

More like battle plan.

But thanks. You up to speed?

Skimmed it. So, no.

Essentially, Russia is waging

an "information war" in Eastern Europe.

The Russian television network

broadcasts these cheesy game shows

that can be picked up in
the eastern part of Ukraine

and the Baltic states.

Where a lot of ethnic Russians live.

Just read that part.

Right.

The shows are popular with those folks,

and when they're over, the
Kremlin airs a "news hour."

Otherwise known as
state-controlled propaganda.

Exactly.

False reports that ethnic Russians

are being murdered in the west.

Estonian nuclear plants are melting down.

That Ukraine is secretly
planning to invade Russia.

Without any truth to counter it,

people believe the lies.

And every day, U.S. security interests

in Europe are undermined.

So what's your battle plan?

Public Diplomacy thinks

that if we could license
a popular American program,

we could air it opposite
the Russian game shows.

Steal those viewers away.

Baywatch or Let's Make a Dealski?

I mean, it's... it's no contest.

And then we follow our
show with a real news hour.

I talked it over with the secretary

and she feels strongly

that we need to fight Russian
aggression on all fronts,

and that means implementing
a long-term media strategy.

Game on.

What's our budget?

Nothing Hollywood would be interested in.

As we know, an extremely
malicious piece of malware

allowed our bad actor to hack

into Air Force One's computer system

and shut down communication.

It took 100 software engineers

a month of decoding millions
of lines of encrypted code,

but they were finally able

to uncover this PLC rootkit code sequence.

Which is what, exactly?

If hackers today think
of themselves as brands,

this sequence is a digital autograph.

It's unique to a legendary black hat

who goes by the handle Dash.

Legendary, huh?

In the last decade,

this guy has executed offensives for China,

North Korea, Russia and Iran.

If you've got the cash,

he's your go-to guy for cyber terror.

So who hired him this time?

Working on that.

Do we have an ID?

Allegedly, this... is Dash.

I pulled the photo off the
darknet, sent it to Interpol.

So far, nothing. Here's the bad news.

According to the chatter
I've been listening to,

he's planning another attack.

How do you top hacking Air Force One?

Hit the White House.

Pentagon.

Our missile systems.

We've shored up our firewalls,

but since the best
defense is a good offense,

we're also setting a few honeypots.

Dummy servers with false
software and decoy information

to lure him in.

And once he's on the hook?

Then we can hack back.

Maybe locate his actual server.

Then, boom. He's ours.

This is our top priority.

Get into it with CYBERCOM.

That's the next stop on my whirlwind tour.

Thank you, Mr. President.

I got an interesting call
from Anton Gorev this morning,

saying he wants to return home

to run against Maria Ostrov next month.

Is anyone else experiencing déjà vu?
to run against Maria Ostrov next month.

Is anyone else experiencing déjà vu?

We went down this road, Elizabeth,

and we crashed and burned.

This election is another opportunity

to get a moderate in the Kremlin.

Election.

Do we really think Maria
Ostrov has any respect

for the democratic process?

About as much respect as
she has for Ukraine's border.

At least with our lethal aid package

we can deal with that situation directly.

The Ukrainian president is
at the Pentagon as we speak.

But here's the thing.

If Gorev was in power,

Ukraine wouldn't need aid.

That whole situation could be dialed back.

Maybe. But has he got a shot?

Gorev's numbers have been steadily rising,

particularly with
disaffected young Russians.

He still has influential friends,

and if he can lure one or two generals

over to his side, that moves the needle.

So what does he want from us?

He needs cash.

The sanctions in the UK
have frozen his accounts.

They want our okay to lift them.

I can reach out to the British ambassador,

see if there's a deal to be made.

All right.

- Keep me informed.
- Okay.

I understand your commander's in town.

General Doroshevich.

I've been invited to a
luncheon for the general

at the embassy this afternoon.

You have instructions?

Just keep an ear out.

Especially if there's any talk of Ukraine.

You okay with that?

If I say "No, I won't spy on my country,"

your people will refuse care to my sister.

Maybe beat me with a phone book again.

So, yes, I'm okay with that.

- Is that all?
- Okay, listen to me, Dmitri.

I know that you don't like this.

I don't much like it, either.

But I'm here, doing
the work, because Russia

is heading down a path
that could be disastrous...

I don't need to hear about Russia.

- I know...
- Then stop behaving like a child

and help me.

Have you ever heard of

Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov?

I'm assuming he's not a relative.

Petrov is a common name.

No, I've never heard of him.

He's a Russian hero,

although your government

doesn't like to acknowledge that.

I don't understand.

One night in 1983, Petrov was at his post

at the missile attack early warning system

when suddenly, all the alarms went off.

There was a "high reliability"

that the United States had launched ICBMs

into the Soviet Union.

Petrov's training dictated

that he launch Russian missiles

as a retaliatory strike
against the United States.

But his gut...

told him that it had to be a false alarm.

So he called his superiors

and he told them not to launch.

And then he waited for 23 long minutes,

and when no missiles
fell, he knew he was right.

Stanislav Petrov saved the world,

because he trusted his instincts.

I think your instincts are
telling you to work with me,

because you know it's best for Russia

and for the rest of the world.

I will talk to the secretary.

Well... stall him.

The British ambassador's already here?

No, ma'am.

It's Ukrainian President Mikhail Bozek.

His motorcade just drove up.

What?

He's requesting a meeting with you.

So he's done picking up
weapons at the Pentagon

and he doesn't have any lunch plans?

It's highly unusual, ma'am.

What would you like to do?

Mikhail, what a surprise.

Thank you for seeing me.

Of course.

Uh, this is Nadine
Tolliver, my chief of staff,

and Jay Whitman, my chief policy advisor.

Pleasure to meet you both.

I hope everything was satisfactory

with our aid package.

It is all very much appreciated.

I want to assure you that
our support of Ukraine

extends beyond military aid.

Um, Jay... I...

Sit, please.

Jay is working to counteract the propaganda

that's been coming out of Russia lately.

Russian news anchors say
my government is illegal.

That I'm a usurper.

We're doing everything we can

to fight that message.

Unfortunately, the situation
is approaching a crisis point,

which is why I am here.

Ukraine must become a full
NATO member, immediately.

Well, applying for NATO membership

is a years-long process.

Yes, but the situation
has drastically changed.

You have influence with President Dalton.

You can convince him

that Ukraine requires this protection.

But it's more than protection.

If Russia invaded Ukraine,

the NATO response force would be required

to challenge Russia militarily.

We're talking about a global conflict.

Even if the president was willing

to fast track your admission,

the NATO members will never
agree to admit your country

while there are tensions with Russia.

Tensions?

The moment Maria Ostrov is elected,

she will launch an invasion
into Western Ukraine.

Will you just sit by and watch?

I'll let the president know that we spoke.

Please.

Also let him know that Ukraine's fate

is in your hands.

The next time you see me,

I may be strung up in Mykhailivska Square.

Thank you for your time, Elizabeth.

Of course.

I'll see you out,

Mr. President.

See, the truth is

whether or not

Ukraine is a member of NATO,

I don't believe that we'll
let Russia attack the west

without launching a military
strike back of our own.

Ma'am?

Uh, British Ambassador Graham Shenton

- is on his way up.
- Right.

I hope Shenton is in an accommodating mood.

We really need the U.K.
to lift those sanctions

on Gorev's cash.

You...

you think he can beat Maria Ostrov?

I hope so.

Anton Gorev becoming president of Russia

might mean the difference between peace

and World War III.

Mr. Ambassador, Anton Gorev
is under the impression

that the U.K. is willing
to lift the sanctions

on his accounts.

Uh, given U.S. approval.

Well, that's what we told him.

But we assumed it be a non-issue,

because you would refuse.

Well, the president is
considering his request.

So, what's the real problem?

The 138 oligarchs whose sanctions

won't be lifted.

Ah, so if you release
the sanctions on Gorev,

the rest will beat a path to your door.

There should be some way to
get the man back his own money.

Wait a minute.

Didn't I read an op-ed...?

By, um, Sir Richard Edgemont

in, it was in The Sunday Times.

He was... he was complaining

that-that the Londoners had sold

too much of their property to the Russians?

He said his hometown

was beginning to look like "Londongrad."

Uh, yes, the gentry made
millions off the oligarchs.

Now they're complaining
there's too much coffee

and vatrushka on the corner shops.

Not enough tea and scones.

Anton Gorev owns at least
three properties in England.

They've got to be worth
close to a 100 million total.

What if we could convince

Sir Richard to buy them from him

for cash?

Well, that would certainly
fill Gorev's coffers.

Uh, but would it trigger the sanctions?

It shouldn't, if he used an offshore bank.

And I could

make sure the Finance Ministry

doesn't throw up any red flags.

Mr. Ambassador, thank
you so much for coming in.

I really appreciate it.

- Madam Secretary.
- Great.

Oliver Shaw sent over a hardcopy

of his report

on the Air Force One cyber-attack.

Any news on his hacker trap?

No, not yet. Oh, uh,

your studio executives are on their way up.

Show time.

Think I'm ready for my close-up.

And this is the conference room.

Where many important
deals have been struck.

Well, thanks for the tour.

There is so much history here.

I've always wanted to develop some kind

of historical political drama.

Like John Adams, but as a series.

Well, I've tried it.

And, uh, it's cost prohibitive.

And boring.

Unless they're all sleeping together.

That's very Washington.

Not in this office.

So I gave you a rough outline of what

we're hoping to achieve
in the e-mail I sent.

Right, so you want to air
our shows in Eastern Europe,

and then follow them
with pro-western news.

I'm sure you've heard about
Russia's recent aggression.

I can't get into the classified details,

but in the next few months,

we could be on the brink of war in Europe.

Altering the negative
perceptions of the U.S.

in the minds of ethnic Russians

could literally change
the course of our future.

Well, I-I just want to say

that, uh, it-it's an honor

to be asked to contribute to the cause.

"Contribute." Now,
that's an excellent word.

We're asking you to make a
contribution to your country,

in the name of patriotism.

Okay.

So, our studio produces television shows

at a deficit.

And we make our money back
over time through license fees.

So, um, what were you thinking

in terms of a fee?

Actually, I was using the word "contribute"

literally.

Mm.

You should not be on your own.

People will say you keep secrets.

They can say what they like.

I will stand with you.

We'll look like we are
being social together.

You're a good friend, Ivan.

And a good Russian.

Sometimes I find it is
not so easy to be both.

Hello?

It's Dmitri.

Yeah, what's up?

Sir, I can't do this.

Where are you?

I'm-I'm, uh, I'm in the embassy.

I drank too much.

Okay, listen to me.

You got to get yourself
together and get out of there.

Do you understand?

No, you don't understand.

Now, Dmitri.

We can talk later.

Did Bozek really ask to join NATO?

That lethal aid package he got from us

must've included a pair of brass ones.

Okay, he's right to be concerned.

The situation is growing worse by the day.

We need somebody who can deescalate it.

I know you think that
someone is Anton Gorev.

But he doesn't have the money to run.

It's true that the British
refuse to lift the sanctions,

- But...
- But you have a backup plan.

I just spoke to Sir Richard Edgemont.

And he is willing to purchase

Gorev's two London townhouses

and his country home in Wiltshire

for 80 million cash.

It's a great deal for everyone.

Except us.

With all the hoops we're
jumping through on his behalf,

Anton Gorev should be required

to work with our intelligence people.

When Pavel Ostrov was president,

Gorev was his right-hand
man for God's sake.

He has information we could use.

He will never go for it.

He's not gonna betray
his country for money.

Even if that money was
the difference between

a return to power and a lifetime in exile?

For one minute,

let's think of Gorev as an asset.

Not just the answer to our Russian problem.

And I'm afraid

that if we push him too hard

and he walks away,

we'll be handing Maria Ostrov

the presidency.

I'm not convinced he will walk away.

He's a loyalist.

He's a desperate man...

in need of money.

Hold the cash.

Let's turn the screws.

I can make parts of the State
Department and White House

available for film shoots.

Oh, that's a nice offer, Jay.

But it's pretty easy to
shoot in L.A. or New York

and make it look like D.C.

And even if we did agree
to forgo our profits,

someone still has to pay residuals

to the actors in the show,
the writers and directors.

We can negotiate waivers.

With the talent unions?

I mean, maybe you should
try something easier,

like a, uh, Middle East peace accord.

Now, Jay, you want an expensive product

for virtually nothing.

Just because you have a special interest,

it doesn't meant that...

I-I'm sorry.

Helping to prevent World War
III is a "special interest"?

'Cause... that's what's at stake here.

What the hell are you doing?

What? I'm walking down the street.

- This is a free country, right?
- Not for you.

Not right now.

You have got to stay sharp, Dmitri!

You make one stupid mistake,
and you can get yourself killed.

Yeah, what doesn't matter
as long as I do my job?

It matters to me.

It matters to your sister.

Go get sober, then call me.

Wait.

Is Anton Gorev gonna
run against Maria Ostrov

for the presidency?

Why do you ask?

Well, I overheard some
intelligence officers

say that they were bringing
Gorev's daughter to the embassy.

- Olga?
- Yeah.

They said she would stay for a month.

Then I thought maybe she's
some kind of leverage.

But maybe this is at her request.

Go back to your dorm.

I know this is disappointing,

but in many ways, the
entertainment industry

is like the federal government, right?

It's large, somewhat inefficient,

and it's very resistant to change.

If you would just agree to
keep working with me, I...

Much as I hate to do it, I can't.

It's-it's just not feasible.

I have to pass.

I can get you ten minutes
with the president.

I already met him... fundraiser
at Gwen Stefani's house.

It's nice to meet you.

Great meeting you, thank you so much.

It was so nice to meet you.

- Thank you.
- Okay, appreciate it.

- Okay, nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.

Okay, let's go.

Listen, you're right, okay?

I don't... I don't have
anything to trade with you.

Come on.

Ten years ago, I was
stationed at a consulate

in Herat, Afghanistan.

It was dangerous,

but we'd been there
for months, no problems.

We let our guard down.

One of our SUVs hit a roadside bomb,

and three foreign service
officers were killed.

Friends of mine.

I'm so sorry.

I'm-I'm not done.

We were evacuated the next day.

I was getting on a h...

I was literally getting on a helicopter.

When the consul came up, he
wanted me to stay with him

and-and handle the
arrangements for the bodies.

We needed to get them back to
the States, to their families.

I said, "No.

Let someone else do it."

I was young and scared,

and I WA... I wanted to go home.

But the next morning, I regretted it,

and every day since, I regret it,

because when it was my turn
to help, I... I said no.

This is your turn.

And if you say no, if you
say, "Let someone else do it,"

I promise you, you'll
wake up tomorrow morning...

...and you'll...

you'll regret it.

I'm sorry, Jay.

I, uh, I really am.

Professor McCord.

Is everything all right?

Olga, I think it would be a good idea

if you came to stay with Elizabeth and me

for a couple of days.

Do I have time to pack a bag?

I'm gonna say no.

Olga Gorev, come with us.

Hey, guys, what can I do for you?

This is not your business, mister.

Her father send us.

Oh, it must be some kind of mistake,

'cause just got off the
phone with her father.

Anton and I are old friends.

I'll have him give you a call,

let you know that everything's okay.

Elizabeth, I will not
trade government secrets

to the Americans.

The price you're asking is too high.

The president was very insistent.

This is my daughter calling.

But my answer to the president

is that he should find another chump.

Ma'am.

Henry's on the phone, he says it's urgent.

Hey, girls, don't fill up on popcorn.

I got dinner.

Mom will be here soon.

No worries, Dad.

Olga, you settling in okay?

Yes, thanks.

Alison is taking excellent care of me.

Good.

I don't get it.

She's here for a long visit,
and she doesn't pack a suitcase?

Yes.

- But everything's fine.
- Yeah.

Oh, yeah, she's just visiting
like any other normal person.

You know, without extra clothes.

Yes.

- You probably want me to stop
asking questions, huh? - Yes.

I'm home.
- You probably want me to stop
asking questions, huh? - Yes.

I'm home.

Run upstairs and tell the girls

dinner's in about ten minutes, would you?

- All right.
- Thank you.

Okay, so I've had about
20 minutes in the car

to process this news, and I
think I know what's going on.

No. No, I don't.

What's the official story again?

Olga Gorev spontaneously
decided to come for a visit.

Okay, so is there an unofficial story?

Yes, but I can't discuss it with you.

I have a very high security clearance.

I'm aware.

Even so.

So how long is she staying?

A while.

- Days or weeks?
- Weeks.

About three to four weeks?

Elizabeth, don't interrogate me.

This is about the Russian
elections, isn't it?

Does Maria Ostrov think
that Gorev is running,

- that he's a threat?
- Can't say. Is Gorev gonna run?

Is that why he called this morning?

Was Olga gonna be used as leverage

- to keep him out of the race?
- I don't know.

That's the truth.

Babe, wait a minute.

Things are in play.

Delicate moves are being made.

If any of it has been compromised

- by something that you've done...
- It was a judgment call.

You and I made a promise to Anton Gorev.

That we would look after Olga.

I'm gonna go get changed.

And then I'm gonna call the president

and tell him that we have a house guest.

Hey.

I'm sorry that didn't work out today.

Thanks.

And I appreciate the
support, you and Daisy.

Any time.

Hey, you know what they
call you in the office pool?

Saint Jay, patron of the long shot.

That doesn't sound like a compliment.

Well, it is.

I didn't know that you
lost friends over there.

I'm sorry.

I-I don't talk about it much.

For a long time, you
know, I felt... guilty.

Not just for... leaving when I did,

but... for not being in the car with them.

Yeah, but if you were in
the car, you'd be dead too.

And that's why they
call it survivor's guilt.

Look, I don't pretend to
know what you went through.

All I know is what I see.

And every day, I see you
here, fighting the good fight.

You may not always win,

but you never stop fighting.

And it counts, man.

It counts for a lot.

Hi, Mom.

Hey, sweetheart.

Can we talk about my column?

It's due tomorrow.

Yeah, I read it at work.

I e-mailed you.

I really liked it.

I was kind of hoping for more.

Well, um...
I was kind of hoping for more.

Well, um...

there were...

there were things in it
that really surprised me.

Like, uh... like...

adding different layers

and wearing pointed shoes
makes you look taller.

I mean, I've done that... I
can't remember since how long,

and I never knew why.

And what about my idea
for the second column?

Um, was that in the e-mail?

We talked about it this morning.

You-you were going to go to the mall,

and it was to shop...

If you don't remember, just say so.

I-I do, I remember the mall.

And then... then I got that text.

Oh, Alison, I'm sorry.

It has been such a... long day.

I... I'm sorry, I don't remember

what your second article
was, uh, gonna be about.

But why don't you tell me about it now?

Why bother?

Nothing I do makes any
kind of impression on you.

It's like you couldn't care less what I do.

- I'm invisible.
- Hang on a second.

I'm gonna go downstairs and talk to Olga,

the stranger who finds me more
interesting than my own mother.

Ali, that... I...

Since when did you
become the easy daughter?

I'm actually learning all about
that in my child psych class.

It's, like, classic middle kid stuff.

Okay.

But... is she right?

The truth?

Alison gets the short end of
the attention stick around here.

In what way?

Well, this fashion thing, it's
been going on for a long time.

Really?

Years, Mom.

I mean, she reads magazines and blogs.

She follows trends.

She even sketches designs sometimes.

She does? Sketches?

Mm-hmm.

The president agrees Olga
should stay as long as she likes.

Obviously, we'd like to keep this quiet.

People could make political hay

both here and in Russia if word got out.

I know this puts the president
in an awkward position.

He's a father too.

Now I guess I'm waiting, as they say,

for the other shoe to drop.

My daughter is in your house.

This puts you in a unique position

to ask of me... well, anything.

Anton, I would never use your
daughter as a bargaining chip.

I appreciate that.

But the president's
original offer still stands.

Give us information, and we'll
find a way to get you your cash.

It's impossible.

I can't give you anything
that would hurt Russia.

I can't give you anything that
could be traced back to me.

I wanted to be president, Elizabeth.

I was also hoping that it
would mark the beginning

of a better relationship
between our two countries.

I am truly sorry that it could not be.

Anton, I believe the
wheel is still turning.

Good morning.

Morning.

Alison.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I ever made you feel invisible

or unimportant or unheard

or anything other than cherished.

Because... that is what you are.

Okay?

Okay.

You know, when I was growing
up, it seemed like the only thing

that my parents ever
talked about was my brother

and what new trouble he was getting into,

and it seemed like...

like they took me for granted.

And I swore that I would
never do that when I was a mom.

I also swore I would never use pacifiers

or disposable diapers.

But...

Noodle, I'm not perfect, but I am trying,

and I need you bear with me, please?

Please?

I can do that.

Thank you.

So, Dash's real name is George Lasko.

Interpol confirmed Lasko is wanted

for cyber attacks he committed

as a juvenile in his
home country of Algeria,

but no one had connected him
to the Dash alias until now.

How did you do it?

Anton Gorev.

Reading over Oliver's report,

I that the Russian government hired Dash

to cyber-attack Estonia in 2007.

That's when Gorev was head of the GRU,

and they would've handled the payment.

Gorev told me they paid George Lasko

five million in cash.

Did you happen to discuss
any current events?

The Air Force One attack.

He says it wasn't the Russians.

What else can he say?

Well, it's also possible that it was them,

and Gorev was just out of the loop.

When Air Force One was hacked,

President Ostrov was sick.

It's possible the attack
was ordered by the generals,

or Maria, bypassing government channels.

She strikes me as the type to go rogue.

She strikes me as the type to go rogue.

I've got Interpol

working to track Lasko down.

Hopefully they can grab him up

before he can execute
his second attack on us.

And don't worry, Bess.

Anton Gorev's help today will
stay with the three of us.

Along with the fact that
you're harboring his daughter.

I prefer to call it "hosting."

Mr. President, aside
from keeping Olga safe,

I would like to give Anton Gorev

something else in exchange for his help.

Something, I think,
could benefit all of us.

Something like $80 million?

Yes, sir.

Go ahead.

Sir Richard can close the deal.

Thank you.

And, uh,

good work.

Thank you, sir.

- No, oh. 23 years of marriage means nothing
to this woman. - She's coming for you, Dad.

- I'm so sorry.
- You are not sorry, Elizabeth McCord.

- You are not sorry.
- #Sorrynotsorry,

right, Mrs. McCord?

Okay.

You just sorried yourself.

Hello?

When did it happen?

All right.

Thanks for letting me know.

It's Gorev.

Olga.

It's your dad.

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

Come, come, come.

How are you doing?

Not so well.

But, uh,

sober, at least.

I heard the news.

Gorev is dead.

The police in London are saying

it was a pay dispute with his aide.

Perhaps later I will arrange

for you to buy the Manhattan Bridge.

Brooklyn Bridge.

But I agree with you...

Anton Gorev was assassinated.

And there's something I
didn't tell you before.

Something else I heard at the embassy.

It's all planned.

The invasion.

As soon as Maria Ostrov is elected,

Russia will attack Western Ukraine.

There are good people
in this country, Dmitri.

People who want peace.

They're working for it every day.

I believe you are one of them.

Are you sure you don't want to
just stay a little bit longer?

Olga, the situation at
home is very unstable.

And I think that if Maria
Ostrov gets it into her mind...

I have to go back to
Russia to bury my father.

And whatever happens,

I can't give up on my country yet.

Not when he sacrificed so much.

He was very proud of you.

Thank you.

And, uh,

thank your family.

I hope when Dr. McCord took me in,

that didn't cause you any trouble.

No, no.

Dr. McCord always does
what he believes is right.

That's why I love him so much.

Look, you have a safe flight and...

Hey.

What are you doing?

I'm weeding.

You... What?

That's what fashion people
call cleaning out your closet.

The rule is if you
haven't worn it in a year,

it has to go.

It's midnight.

Did you know that if you have big shoulders

you can't wear boxy jackets?

And if you have orange in your skin,

you have to stay away

from anything in the pink family.

Okay.

You don't have boxy shoulders

or orange skin, so.

Did you know that our
daughter knows all this stuff?

I didn't.

Did you know that she sketches?

Yeah.

Not me.

Alison thinks I'm not interested in her.

And you know why she thinks that?

Because she's not a crisis.

And that's what I do.

I deal with one crisis after another crisis

after another,

while my life

just passes by.

Babe,

Alison is okay.

You guys had a fight.

It's over.

I...

What is this really about?

You think you have your eye on the ball,

and then you just end
up missing everything.

And how am I supposed to guard

against things I never even see coming?

Effect real change in the world.

That was Conrad's pitch.

I didn't go looking for the job.

And...

I know you feel bad about Anton.

I feel bad about him, too.

Please don't say anything about God.

I wasn't going to.

What happened?

Mikhail Bozek was on his private plane,

headed back to Ukraine.

They went down about
100 miles west of Kiev.

Rescue teams are on the scene.

The president and his crew

managed to bail out before
the plane hit the ground.

We're waiting for...

Here they are.

President Dalton?

Yes, Mikhail.

I'm here with Craig Sterling
and Elizabeth McCord.

Are you all right?

We're all okay, but it's a miracle.

Mr. President, can you describe
what happened with the plane?

There was some kind of malfunction.

The autopilot suddenly programmed itself

to drop 20,000 feet,

and our pilot couldn't shut it down.

We had parachutes on
board, and we bailed out.

The plane crashed on empty land.

So no one was killed?

No, no, thank God.

We were very lucky.

You should have the medic
check you out, Mikhail.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Just like Air Force One.

This was Dash's next attack.

Well, whoever hired Dash

to hack your plane

just tried to assassinate
the Ukrainian president.

Then it must be the Russians.

No one else has motive

to attack both the US and Ukraine.

Maria Ostrov is crossing
names off her enemies' list

on her way to becoming president.

With Anton Gorev dead,

there's no one left to stop her.
