(wind howling)

(gentle music)

- Testing, one, two, three.

I, Patrick Lee, here and
now announce my candidacy

for the president of
the United States.

I will be running a
totally new campaign-

(Patrick speaking faintly)

(gentle music)

Solving the problems
facing us today.

And I challenge all others
running for this high office

to join me in solving those
problems facing us today

and may the individual who
solves the most problems

be elected as president of
the United States of America.

(Celeste applauding)

(gentle music)

Whoa.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm okay.

Whoa.

- Oh gosh.

- I'm a little shook up.

- Are you sure?

You know you're
bleeding from the head.

- What?

Really?

Where are my glasses?

- These things?

They're broken.

- Damn.

Those are my eyes.

- You know, I'm Celeste.

Here, let me help you up.

- No, it's okay.

I can take care of myself.

You probably have
better things to do.

- I can't just leave
you here like this.

- Yeah, it's okay.

I can take care of myself.

- You know, I was on
my way to breakfast.

The restaurant's just
a few blocks from here.

Have you had breakfast yet?

- Wait, you are the
one who clapped.

- Yeah.

Your presentation was inspired.

- You didn't think it was
boring or a pile of platitudes?

- No.

You could tell it
was from the heart.

Do you like poached eggs?

So have you held any office

and I mean any
political office at all?

- President.

- Oh, president of what?

- Oberoende, it's
a micro-nation.

A nation within a
nation right here in LA.

- Well, like the
Cherokee Nation.

That's my nation, you know, we
have 380,000 tribal citizens.

How about your nation?

- Well, we had a few now
and then and over the years,

but now you're looking
at a soul inhabitant.

- Oh, we gotta start somewhere.

We still have time to
get everything together.

- So you're with me.

- Yeah.

I like what you have to say,

but you have to stop
preaching on street corners.

- So you've heard of me before.

- You could say that.

So how is the campaign
gonna be funded?

- No problem.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Oh.

So you were saying that
financing the campaign

is not a problem?

Are you a multimillionaire?

- Do I look like one?

- No, but I just
figured it might help.

- Well, I have enough to
get by, but I'm no Trump.

Actually, those who would
donate to the campaign,

will fund the solutions
to the problems

closer to their hearts.

And when we have enough money
to solve a particular problem,

its solution will
be implemented.

- That's a good idea.

- Thanks.

Here.

- So how are you gonna get
people to believe in you enough

to part with their
hard-earned cash?

- Oh, well, if I just had
enough charisma, I could do it.

- I think I may be of service.

- So my lack of sight
isn't a negative.

Well, actually FDR
was elected four times

and he was in a wheelchair.

- I think your Asperger's
might be more of a problem.

- Are you a doctor?

- No.

No.

I'm just observant.

- Huh?

Well, would you like
to visit Oberoende?

- Sure, let's go.

- My car's just on the corner,
but without my goggles,

I'm legally blind.

- So you need a chauffeur.

(gentle music)

I think we're here.

Okay, gimme a second.

All right.

You're all set.

- I know how this works.

- [Celeste] Watch your head.

- [Patrick] Ah, okay.

- [Celeste] Okay.

Approaching the stairs.

(gentle music)

- [Patrick] This is Oberoende.

- Nice touch.

- What?

- The doormat.

- Oh, thanks.

- And I see you're a CPA.

- I am.

Ring the doorbell.

- Don't you have a key?

- Sure.

But just do it.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

What is that?

- Oberoende National Anthem.

Shall we?

- Okay.

(door beeping)

(gentle music)

- This is my office.

Those are my certificates

and those are my
collection of telephones.

(gentle music)

(playful music)

Oh.

- You can't wear
those in public.

- Why not?

- Definitely a stereotype.

- Oh, if I'm blind, I'm blind.

- Maybe an operation could help.

- That would be expensive.

- If you plan on
being president, we
can find the money.

- Oh, cool.

So what do you think?

- Oh, definitely
not another country.

But then again, in
your mind it could be.

- This is my office,
base of my operations.

- And where do you live?

(gentle music)

- Welcome to Oberoende.

(inspirational music)

What do you think?

- Yeah, this is more like it.

(gentle music)

Beautiful.

You can have a feast in here

and this could double
as a campaign office.

- I agree.

Bedrooms are on the third floor.

- More stairs.

(gentle music)

Is this where you sleep?

- Usually.

Wow.

- Looks comfortable.

- Oh, it's very comfortable.

Would you like to check it out?

- Not now.

(gentle music)

Where do you keep your clothes?

- Oh, in the closet.

- Okay.

Nope.

Okay, we need to get
you a new wardrobe.

- Is there something
wrong with my clothes?

One would only have to
look in a mirror to know.

- Does this mean
you're dressing me up.

- Yeah.

Dressed up you won't look bad.

Now, we can definitely
make use of the space,

plant a grassroots campaign.

Starting with your friends.

- I don't have any friends.

- Don't worry.

I have a few.

(all chanting)

(crowd chattering)

- Hi, I'm Patrick Lee.

Thank you for coming here.

Thank you for filling
out the cards.

And-

- Thank you for your donations.

We want you to know that
the money you contribute

to this campaign will go
towards solving the problems

you have identified.

So make sure to write down
the problems you want solved

on the cards you've received.

(crowd applauding and cheering)

- Thank you.

(all chanting)

- Do you like the fry bread?

- Yes.

It's very delicious, but
it's not very healthy.

- It's a staple of
the pow wow circuit.

It's born of a time
when that's all we had.

- Yes, I know that.

I want to thank you for
putting all this together.

It's very impressive
that what you did.

It's-

- Excuse me for a moment, a
good friend of mine is here.

(gentle music)

- I am Patrick Lee,
nice to meet you.

- We met, have you
forgotten my name already?

Samuel Brightcloud.

- Oh, right, Sam.

Celeste is really something.

Do you know how she got
so many people to show up?

- Don't you know who she is?

- No.

- She could have been the
chief of the Cherokee Nation.

She had it in her grasp,
she chose to leave Oklahoma

and come here to California

and many of her
followers came with her.

- Is she a politician?

- No.

A born leader like
Mankiller before her.

- Man Killer?

- Wilma Mankiller,
the first woman chief

of the Cherokee Nation.

(gentle music)

(upbeat music)

- I'm coming.

Coming.

I'm almost there.

- Patrick Lee?

- [Patrick] Yes.

- Oh, I have a package for you.

- Is it my new eyes?

- That's right.

- Oh, thank God for insurance.

(Jorge speaking in
foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Okay.

Hello, this is Catalina Vargas
reporting for KSMX news.

Now, while most of you know
presidential candidates,

there are some that are not
as popular or as famous,

but still have that in
intent to win the big prize

come this November.

So today we are
gonna introduce you

to a hopeful local candidate
by the name of Patrick Lee

as we interview him here

inside his national
campaign headquarters

located in Los Angeles.

Good afternoon.

Mr. Lee, I hear you're
running for President

of the United States.

- Yes.

What do you want?

- The Spanish Language Station.

We talked about it
for Hispanic voters.

I'm Celeste Seedlingsun, I'm
Patrick's campaign manager.

- [Patrick] But I
don't speak Spanish.

- English is fine.

- First of all, what is
it that you're wearing?

And also are you playing some
type of virtual reality game?

- Oh, these are my new eyes.

I can't see you without them.

- Excuse me.

Patrick is legally blind.

You don't need to wear
these for this interview.

- Of course.

Mr. Lee, we're actually
wanting to feature you

and do this interview to
put it in our segment,

it's called Daylight.

It actually airs at the
end of our broadcast,

and it's usually pieces that
are both humorous and unusual.

- Do you think I'm
funny or strange?

- Not necessarily.

But besides the fact
that you're blind,

I also understand
that you're autistic.

- Yes, I have
Asperger's Syndrome.

- And yet you're running for
President of the United States.

- Well, I don't think
any of those conditions

are a disability,
actually it helps me

to concentrate on focusing
to solve the problems.

- [Catalina] Interesting.

And how is it that
you intend on winning?

- Well, my campaign will
be completely different

from the history
of all politics.

I'll be running a totally
positive campaign.

There'll be no money
allocated to media time.

Are we paying for this?

- No, no.

This is what we call a
public service announcement.

- Oh, great.

I'll log it in as such.

- You know, let's
conduct the interview

in front of the desk.

- Okay.

Yeah, good idea.

- Come on, follow me.

- Slowly, Mr. Patrick?

- Yes.

Right in front of the desk.

- I'm right behind you.

- [Celeste] Gimme a
second right here.

- Yeah.

- I'm just gonna
move the monitor.

- I got 'em.

- [Celeste] Perfect.

- Oh, it's just, it's
just me, Catalina Vargas.

Okay.

We're just gonna
continue our interview.

If you could look straight,
the camera's pointing at us.

- This way?

- Perfect.

Yeah, no, this way.

Great.

So you were saying
you aren't interested

in spending any
money on media ads?

- Oh, right.

There'll be no money
allocated to media ads,

including promoting for myself

or talking bad stuff
about other candidates

running for the high office.

In fact, all the money will go
towards solving the problems

facing us today in America
and around the world.

- Wow.

That seems like a
really lofty goal.

How do you intend on
carrying out this campaign?

- Well, it's simple.

It starts right here, Oberoende.

See, it's a micro-nation,
a nation within a nation,

and I'm the president of it.

Well now, but I'm also
gonna be the president

of the United States later.

We're gonna change
everything from within.

- Okay.

One second.

Excuse me.

Could you be so kind.

Stay right there.

(speaking in foreign language)

- Keep rolling.

Jorge, keep rolling.

Right here, Mr. Patrick Lee.

Yes.

We're gonna continue
our interview.

Please tell us more.

- Tell us more about what?

- About how you were talking

about the different lofty
goals that you have.

- Oh, well, one of the things is

we're not gonna waste
taxpayers dollars

on traveling around the
country all the time.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

- [Julia] Patrick,
this is Julia.

- Julia?

- [Julia] Julia Vanderbilt
III, your client.

- Oh, hi Julia.

- [Julia] Look, I
really must insist

you continue to do my taxes.

- I told you I can't do it.

- [Julia] Absolutely
unacceptable.

I can't find anyone
else of your caliber.

- Well, it's not that.

I just don't have any time.

The campaign's taking
up all my time.

I've dropped all my
clients, not just you.

- [Julia] Patrick, Patrick,

we've been together
for so many years

and you understand my portfolio.

Plus no one can find
that special loophole.

I could pay you more.

- Well, it's not that,
I'm going to be president.

- [Julia] Oh, don't be silly.

You don't have a
chance in politics.

You're just wasting your time.

- Cut.

Cut.

You're not taping this, right?

- Sorry, Celeste.

Can't have you do that.

Keep rolling, Jorge.

- [Julia] What's going on there?

- Oh, I think I'm being
interviewed by a TV station.

- [Julia] What?

Is this call being recorded?

- I think so.

- That's okay.

Celeste just removed the phone.

- Oh, well, I have
many loyal supporters.

- Oh, well, talking
about loyal supporters,

how are the American people
going to vote for you?

How are they gonna know
about your policies

and your procedures?

- Well, the internet
will be my vehicle

and my solutions will
be spreading like a
provus, an engine.

(monitor crashing)

- Oh gosh.

- I don't like that.

What is that?

- Oh no, your monitor broke.

Here, let me help you.

- What?

My monitor?

- Yeah, you stepped on it.

It's okay.

Here.

That's not good for television.

And be careful here.

I'm just gonna put
it on your chair.

You can deal with that
later with Celeste.

Are you okay?

Any cuts or anything?

Okay.

Let me reframe you.

Let's get back to the interview.

- Okay.

- You were talking
to me about solutions

and how they were
gonna spread it.

It sounded like a virus.

- Oh, provus.

It was a word that I coined.

So see, like a
virus, it endangers,

it spreads and it hurts
the host from within.

But a provus, it empowers and
it enlightens from within.

Provus.

So see, our solutions will
go proval on social media.

(cellphone ringing)

- Oh God.

Another phone call.

- Hello?

I told you I don't
have time for this.

I'm a bit-

Barb.

No, no.

Listen, Barb, I can't.

Barb.

No, I'm here, I'm here.

Yes.

No, no, no.

I'm running-

Oh, I'm running for president.

Yes, of the United
States of America.

Yes.

- Cut.

Cut.

We didn't agree to this.

(speaking in foreign language)

- Sorry.

There won't be any
more interruptions.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Mr. Lee, we can actually
finish our interview

right over here.

Do you need assistance?

- [Patrick] Yes, please.

- [Julia] Here's my arm.

- [Patrick] Okay.

- And we'll just walk over here.

- [Patrick] Okay.

Real nice.

- [Catalina] Okay.

And then if you could
just slightly turn around.

Perfect.

- Turn around?

- Yeah, there you go.

Oh.
- Okay.

- All right.

Lemme make sure.

Jorge, you got the angle?

Great.

Alright.

Now we were talking
about solutions.

What solutions are those?

- Oh, right.

So the solutions to the problems

that my campaign contributed
specified in their donations.

- So people can send
you money and ask,

for example, to
end homelessness.

- Yes.

And I come up with a
plan to achieve it.

(upbeat music)

- What's that noise?

What's that music?

(upbeat music)

- The Oberoende National Anthem.

(door knocking)

- I'll get rid of him.

- [Patrick] Ah.

- I guess he gave up.

- Jorge, let's get
back to the interview.

Now, Mr. Lee, why don't
you talk to us about

what your current solutions
that you're working on are?

- Well, first of all,
we have to compare

the amount of money contributed

to solving a specific problem

and then see how much money-

(car honking)

- Patrick, I need
to talk to you.

- No, no, he's busy right now.

- Sorry, this can't wait.

- You're gonna have
to come back later.

- Stick with me, man.

I need you.

I need you like the
windmill needs the breeze.

Like the crop needs the rain,

like the stool needs the
pigeon man, we're inseparable.

- Sir, I'm in the
middle of an interview.

- Chris, is that you?

- I need you, man.

- The answer is no, I'm no
longer in the tax business.

I'm running for president.

- More like falling
on your face.

- No negativity, please.

- Well, in a month or
two, you be asking me

to pick you up off the streets.

And don't ask me to fund your
little stupid campaign either.

- Huh?

Where's the camera?

Where's the camera?

- [Jorge] Over here?

- Really, I have many
loyal supporters.

- Wait, is this a live feed?

- Yes.

- How's my outfit look?

Sorry, I forgot you blind.

You know, this guy's brilliant.

If anybody should be president,
it's my main man right here,

Patrick Lee.

I mean, he's a legend
in the field of taxes.

He done mine the last few
years, but enough about him.

Check on my late night show.

Seven days a week,
"Chris' Show".

Got porn stars, guest stars,
co-stars, whatever you want.

(speaking in foreign language)

- Cut, cut.

(gentle music)

- Thank you so much.

Enjoy.

(speaking in foreign language)

Auntie Lily, what will you have?

(speaking in foreign language)

- I think I'll try a Jonathan
in memory of Johnny Appleseed.

- He certainly was
a respected man.

- Thank you.

- May these seeds
grow into trees

that bear much
fruit, Auntie Lily

- Wado, Celeste, I hope
your campaign blossoms.

- May we solve the problems
you have submitted.

Thank you.

- I'd like to talk to you.

- Sure.

Can you take over
for me, please?

- Sure.

Hi.

Welcome to Patrick
Lee's Seeds for Change.

- What are we doing here?

Do you really believe this
man can become president?

- I know what I know and I must
do what I believe is right.

- I believe we're
wasting our time

on this stupid little campaign.

- I respect your opinion,
but I know what I'm doing.

- Everyone can make a
mistake and recover,

but only if you don't go too
far in the wrong direction.

(gentle music)

- Samuel, what do you think?

- Why do you wanna
become president?

- To solve problems.

- You seem to have enough
problems of your own.

- Doesn't seem to
bother Celeste.

- You are just an accountant,
not a politicians.

Celeste is a charismatic leader

and a great community organizer,

but things are not always
what they seem with her.

I'm not completely sure
what her motives are,

but the sooner you
dissolve your campaign,

the better for her and you.

- You don't think I
should be running?

- I think I've
made it very clear.

- Probably a lot of
people may feel this way.

I have a mission.

- A mission you'll
never accomplish.

- A mission that
I must accomplish.

- As President of
the United States?

- No.

As a president of Oberoende.

- What is this Oberoende?

A figment of your imagination?

- Let me show you.

It's a nation within a nation.

It's a micro-nation.

- What?

- It's Oberoende.

(gentle music)

What do you think?

Are you okay?

- Celeste designed this for you?

- What?

- Admit it.

This was Celeste's idea.

- No.

- She at least help
put this together?

- This is the seal of Oberoende.

I designed this way before
even meeting Celeste.

- Don't lie to me.

(intense music)

Please forgive me.

I didn't want to believe you,
but now I know the truth.

- What's going on?

- I opposed your campaign.

Now I know that we're brothers.

(gentle music)

I'm sorry if I frightened you,

but these are sacred Cherokee
symbols that you've assembled.

This must be a sign.

A sign that this
was meant to be.

- So does that mean you
have changed your mind

about my campaign?

- Oh, from now on, you
are Patrick Darkhorse Lee.

(door knocking)

I want to apologize
for not believing.

You know, I came here to
California reluctantly.

I've known you since
you were a child

and have never really
believed in your visions.

I thought it was just a way
for you to manipulate others.

- And what's changed your mind.

- I saw the seal of Oberoende,

exactly as you described
in your visions.

- So now you
understand my mission.

- If you feel that he will
make a great president,

I believe you must be right.

But to tell you the
truth, rather than him,

I believe you
should be president.

- I will be.

- What?

- It was in my vision.

(gentle music)

(police siren blaring)

(ominous music)

(car hooting)

- Sorry.

Is something wrong, officer?

- [Seco] I want to talk to you.

- This is not what
it looks like.

These are my new eyes.

- [Seco] I'm not an officer.

I'm the son of Sam.

- What?

No, don't kill me.

I can't see you.

- The son of Samuel Brightcloud.

He carries, but not
as boldly as I do.

- What about the badge?

- It's a Cherokee star.

I'm Seco with NARM,

the Native American
revolutionary movement.

- Okay.

- I believe my father has
welcome you to the tribe.

They call you Brother Darkhorse.

- Yes.

- Seems like Darkhorse
has a broken leg.

- I don't understand.

- Don't you usually put a horse
with a broken leg to sleep?

- Not necessarily.

I mean, that's assuming
he has no value.

But a champion horse
has a career as a stud.

- Okay, stud.

Somehow you convinced
Celeste and my father

that your campaign has a chance.

But I don't believe that.

- Why not?

- Because your
philosophies on life

are against human nature.

- Because I'm a pacifist.

- Are you saying violence
isn't the answer?

- It's an answer.

It's not a solution.

- [Seco] You're just
playing with words.

- You can't change someone
by just knocking them,

striking them down.

You must reason them with them
and treat them as an equal.

Change 'em from within.

That's the only way you
can really change someone.

- Not in the real world,
power is all people look at.

You're weak, so you're looking
for another alternative.

But the powerful
have always ruled.

The weak have always
been ruled over.

It's just the way things are.

- I know the way things are.

I'm talking about the
way things should be.

- It just seems I'm
wasting my time.

I hope you see the lights

because my tribe seems
to think you're somebody.

But I don't see anything at all.

- Don't worry about it.

One day the blind
will be able to see.

Perhaps that day is today.

- We'll see about that, stud.

(ominous music)

- In your first line, you
present yourself, your name

and the office
you're running for,

and then why you're in the race.

A little of your background and
what you hope to accomplish.

Then and only then do
you go into the specifics

of your campaign and why
people should vote for you

rather than anyone else.

Do you think you have
all of that down?

- I guess?

Pretty much.

- Okay.

You're gonna be on
a stage next week.

You have to be ready.

Please have the lines and
the speech patterns down.

- Do you really think
I should be talking

to a crowd of people?

- You're running for president.

You can't do everything
from your computer.

- I don't think I'm ready.

- Okay.

You know, you have to get
out and meet more people.

Expand your horizons.

- I just wanna solve problems.

Shouldn't that be enough?

- Okay.

We're putting in some
pretty heavy hours.

Maybe I should move in.

It could really cut the
travel time back and forth,

and I could save
the money on rent.

- Sure.

We should work more
closely together, I agree.

(gentle music)

- You do have the extra bedroom.

- Oh, right.

I guess that'll be okay.

- Then it's settled.

I'll start moving my
stuff in tomorrow.

- Yes.

I think that'll work.

- [Celeste] Okay, let's
practice your presentation.

- Who am I talking to?

- Just pretend
there's an audience.

- Okay.

Just doesn't feel right.

I'm nervous.

- Do you think you'll
be less nervous

when there's people
actually there?

Okay, okay.

Wait, don't breathe
into the mic.

Let me show you.

I am Patrick Lee and I'm
running for president

of the United States.

- I can do that.

- Okay.

- I'm Patrick Lee and I'm
running for the president

of the United States.

- Do you know what
was wrong with that?

- No.

- It sounded like
you were reading.

There's no emotion at all.

- I have to be more excited?

- Do you remember the
part about the eagle?

- Yes.

- Try that.

- The eagle is the
symbol of our country.

It represents
strength and freedom.

- What happened?

What did we talk about?

There's no emotion at all.

Here, I'll show you.

Just watch me.

The eagle is the
symbol of this nation.

It represents
strength and freedom,

the eagle has a right
wing and a left wing.

Both wings must work in unison

or this great bird cannot
fly, cannot soar majestically

through the sky.

Without both wings, both
sides working as one,

this country will not survive.

I want this country
to fly, to soar.

And you, you are the
feathers in these wings

that will carry this
campaign to Washington

and the White House.

(Patrick applauding)

- Oh, man.

I mean, I know the words,
but I can't speak like that.

- No.

But when I'm finished with
you, you'll be able to do it.

Every person has a voice and
every voice is different.

You just haven't
found yours yet.

But when you do,
you'll be able to soar.

All right, these go
in the meeting room.

- Okay.

- Just a few more boxes

then we're back to
rehearsing your speech

for the high school.

- [Patrick] Not
the speech again.

- Yeah.

Oh, I'll get it.

Patrick Lee's campaign offices.

How can I help you?

- Barb who?

Who?

Hello?

Hello?

Strange call.

- [Patrick] Oh no.

(glass shattering)

- Are you okay?

- [Patrick] I'm okay.

(glass shattering)

- I'm coming up.

(gentle music)

(cruise ship horn blaring)

- [Patrick] It is beautiful
up here, up on the deck.

(cruise ship horn blaring)

- [Celeste] This ocean
air is so refreshing.

- [Patrick] I love
this breeze on my face.

- This is a fantastic
place to dream.

- It's my favorite
place in Oberoende.

Sometimes I'll come up here

and imagine I'm on a voyage
to some exotic destinations.

- Like the pictures
on the walls?

- I've never really
been to those places.

Even in my mind, I've
always been alone.

I don't even know what
happened to my parents.

I guess they couldn't deal
with my peculiarities.

- Mine were very intense.

They instilled their goals
and their dreams in me.

They both died young
in a plane crash.

- Who raised you then?

- The whole community.

I was a child of the tribe

and Sam Brightcloud
became my mentor.

Though, being headstrong,
I seldom listened to him.

- I barely remember my parents.

(gentle music)

I mean, they seemed to
be on the edge of my life

and just disappeared
when I was very young.

- You didn't get to know them?

- They went their own way.

I was raised first
at a foster home

and then at an institution.

I kept their books
since the age of 10

and they said if
it wasn't for me,

they might never
have stayed afloat.

(gentle music)

- Like this boat?

- Yeah, like this boat.

(keyboard keys tapping)

- What are you still doing up?

Is that a game you're playing?

I thought you took this
campaign seriously?

You need to get your sleep.

- Well, it's a game all right.

It's a game to save lives.

- It's another one
of your inventions.

- Everything, even a game can
have more than one purpose.

- Sure.

To hook you, to entertain, to
keep you up all night, right?

- No.

For instance, this
card I clicked on,

it reads, "The people
who are crazy enough

to think they can change the
world are the ones who do."

- Great quote.

- [Patrick] Do you
know who said it?

- No.

- Sorry.

You just lost three points

and have to move
back three spaces

and you're that much
further from your goal.

- I'm not interested
in playing any games.

We both need to get more sleep.

- You're not even gonna
guess who said it.

- I guess you know the answer.

- Of course, I do.

I'm the one who
invented this game.

It's a quote from Steve Jobs.

- [Celeste] A genius who
is no longer with us.

- [Patrick] Do you know why?

- He died?

- Of what?

- I don't know.

- Pancreatic cancer, duh.

See, this game
educates the players.

Plus the money that's paid to
play will go towards research,

developing new treatments
and eventually a cure.

- You know, the person I
respected the most in the world

died of pancreatic
cancer, Wilma Mankiller.

She was the first woman
chief of the Cherokee Nation.

- I know.

And she said, "We must
trust our own thinking.

Trust where we're going
and get the job done."

- Yes, but you're
not gonna cure cancer

at three o'clock in the morning.

- No.

Oh, one step at a time.

- [Celeste] You need
to get your sleep

or you won't function.

You know you're lucky, I'm
here to take care of you.

- Yes.

I'm lucky you're here.

I agree.

(gentle music)

- There you go.

- We have to be ready
and in place, Grayhorse.

I need you to flank me
at the 50-yard line.

- Yes, sir.

- One more.

Alright, take it.

- [Grayhorse] Good work.

- Thanks, man.

Be ready to converge
on my signal.

If anything looks
suspicious, we take action.

- Seco, why are we
protecting this guy?

- Celeste's orders,

besides, her and my father
will be on that stage.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
the next president

of the United
States, Patrick Lee.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

- Hi, I'm Patrick Lee

and I'm the first
solution candidate

running for the president
of the United States.

I want more than just your votes

because this campaign
is not just a campaign

for the presidency,
it is a campaign

that will change the
whole political system.

(crowd applauding and cheering)

Our objective is to find
solutions to the problems

facing our nation and
the world around us.

And I'm not going to wait
until I hold the highest office

in this nation.

The process starts
right here, right now

because we represent
the solution we seek

- Blind leading the blind.

- Yes, I'm legally blind,

but you don't have
to have 20/20 vision

to be able to find the solutions

to the problems facing us today.

(crowd applauding and cheering)

I will not make any
promises that I cannot keep.

The only promise I will make

is that I won't
make any promises.

(crowd applauding and laughing)

If other candidates
are running a sprint,

I will be running a marathon.

If they're playing checkers,
I will be playing chess.

This is much more than just
a race and just a game.

I challenge any candidate
seeking this high office

to join me in solving the
problems facing us today

in the United States
and around the world.

(crowd applauding and cheering)

The symbol of our nation
is the majestic eagle

and represents
strength and freedom.

The eagle has two
wings, the right wing

and the left wing.

- We don't need cheeks and
savages telling us what to do.

(gun firing)

- Both wings must work in unison

or the great bird cannot fly

and these wings will carry
this campaign to Washington

and the White House.

- [Celeste] Call 911.

Patrick, stay with us.

Patrick.

Help.

(speaking in foreign language)

- In breaking news, independent
presidential candidate,

Patrick Lee, who's
branded himself

as the problem-solving
candidate,

has a few problems of his own
after an unidentified gunman

now in police custody
fired upon him

when he was giving a speech on
a high school football field.

On the international scene,
the tensions between India

and Pakistan over the
disputed territory of Kashmir

are continuing to intensify.

- [Sam] Doctor?

- [Dr. Zang] Yes.

- Dr. Zang, is he
going to be alright?

- Yes.

Fortunately, the bullet
missed his vital organ.

We have stopped the bleeding
and closed the wound.

He's out of surgery.

He's now in stable condition.

- But is he awake?

Can we see him?

- What is it?

- It's a skin gun.

It's used during surgery
to replace damaged tissue.

- Did you use it on me?

- It's mainly used for burn
victims and large wounds.

It's sprays a small amount
of stem cells on the wound

and it grows into skin,
often hardly leaving a scar.

This is just gonna
be a small scar.

(gentle music)

- Cool.

Small scar.

(gentle music)

- Room 437.

This is it.

I hope he is okay.

- [Sam] Go ahead.

(door knocking)

- I didn't know something
like this was gonna happen.

I feel terrible.

What did I do to
anger someone so much?

Do you know who did it?

- You know, they
haven't released a name.

We don't know anything yet.

- I'm sorry to disturb you, sir,

but there's a reporter
outside named Catalina Vargas.

She says she knows you.

Do you think you'd be
up to talking to her?

- Sure.

Yeah.

I think she might be able to
answer some of my questions.

- Hi, Patrick.

Remember me?

I was the first reporter
that covered your campaign.

- Yeah, right.

Hi.

Welcome, Ms. Vargas.

- You can call me Cat.

And honestly, you
look really good

considering you're recovering
from an assassination attempt.

- Did you know that Theodore
Roosevelt was shot in the chest

during his campaign
for president

and he still
finished his speech?

You wanna see my wound?

- Oh.

What can you tell us about
the man that shot him?

- We don't have much
information at this time.

- How's he doing?

- Well, from what I know,
physically, he's doing well.

But you're concerned
for his wellbeing?

- Well, I wanna know why,
why would he shoot me?

- Well, what I can tell you

is that he has a history
of mental illness

and he was also under
the influence of alcohol.

- [Reporters] Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President.

- [Reporter] Mr. President,
what's your response

to the recent
assassination attempt

on presidential candidate?

- Well, it's terrible.

Now I'm not familiar
with this individual

or even that he was a candidate.

But it's an example of just
how dangerous it's becoming

for somebody who wants to
run for an elected office.

Next.

- [Reporters] Mr.
President, Mr. President.

- [Reporter 2] Sir, are you
going to assign Secret Service

to Patrick Lee's campaign?

- Well, it's really not
my decision to make.

That's for Secret
Service to decide.

Now, this candidate doesn't
belong to either political party

as far as I understand.

He is got a very small
following, so it's not likely,

but that's really Secret
Services' decision.

- How's he looking, Dr. Zang?

- Healing very well,
Mrs. Seedlingsun.

Mr. Lee, you are making
excellent progress,

but you'll need be in a
wheelchair for a while

until the swelling around
your spine goes down.

- A wheelchair, huh?

Something to look forward to.

- Well, we'll see.

A lot of people are rooting
for you, myself included.

A lot of mail is coming
to the hospital for you.

Best of luck for your campaign.

- Thank you, doctor.

- Okay, I gotta go.

- [Patrick] Bring that mail.

- All right, see you.

- Wow, do you think that's true?

- You are rising in the polls.

There's nothing
like a good tragedy

for people to rally
behind the underdog.

- I hope I can get
out of here soon.

I mean, I feel useless.

What can I do now?

- Win, you can win.

- I'm blind, and autistic,
and the doctor just told me

that I have to be in
a wheelchair for, ugh,

who knows how long?

- But your numbers
are rising every day.

You're at 1% in the poles,
you must forge ahead.

- As an accountant, I
can tell you that 1%

isn't statistically significant.

- Of course, it's significant.

People are asking for solutions.

They're listening to
your philosophies.

Now is the time to run with it?

- If only I could.

- Look, you can lay here
and feel sorry for yourself

or you can get back to work.

- Well, what kind of
solutions are they asking for?

- Because of your situation.

They're asking for a solution
to the gun controversy.

- Okay, then, that's
what we'll give them.

- Okay, you don't, you don't
have to be in the Oval Office

to do anything about that.

You don't have the power to do
anything about it right now.

- Well, we don't know
that until we try.

If we can prevent what happened
to me from happening again,

we can save countless lives.

How many camping
offices have opened

while have been laid up here?

- [Celeste] Oberoende is
in 10 cities nationwide

and five countries around
the world have requested it.

- Hmm, let's see how much
money has been donated

to solve this
particular problem,

and then we'll decide
what direction to take.

(upbeat cheerful music)

- We are gonna
miss you, Mr. Lee.

Now don't work too hard, okay?

And be careful,

there looks like there's a
pretty large crowd out there.

- Look, Patrick,

there's a hundred people
waiting out there for you.

Come on, let's go
greet your public.

Lose the goggles.

(gentle music)

- Sam, Seco, is that you?

- Mr. Lee, you forgot your bag.

- OMG, is that Patrick Lee?

(fan screaming)

- What's going on?

(fan screaming)

What's happening?

Sam, no.

(gun firing)

(all screaming)

- Drop your gun.

Put your hands behind your back.

You're under arrest.

- Why?

- Unlawful discharge of
a firearm, that's why.

- But it was an accident.

- Someone could
have been killed.

- He's the one who's
saved Patrick's life.

- Well, then you can
tell bail him out

and tell that to the judge.

Come on, move, let's go.

- Don't worry, Seco,
we'll fix this.

- Patrick, any comment on
what transpired here today

as you were trying to
leave the hospital?

- You can't bring a deadly
weapon into a situation

and call it protection.

That includes the police.

I can see, I can see
solving this gun controversy

is not gonna be easy.

(upbeat music)

- So the success of
the R&D department

has made the manufacturing
of the casings,

especially the small needles,

they're right to
specification and work great.

- So the neurotoxins
are safe, right?

- So our research shows the
test work great for indoors

and outdoors at various ranges.

So people are sometimes
confused afterwards,

but it really works
fine and nobody's hurt.

- That's great.

- So anyway, what do
you think, Patrick?

- I think we have a solution.

- Yes, we did it.

- Wow, congratulations guys.

- Whoa.

- Wonderful.

All right.

We've been trying to
solve this for a while.

(all applauding and cheering)

- Wow, yeah.

(all applauding)

- Thank you for coming
to our press conference.

Patrick Lee's campaign polling
has wavered between one

and two percentage points.

So I am aware that
most of you assigned

to cover this press conference

are either fledgling reporters
or well-seasoned pros

who may well be in
line to be replaced

by fledgling reporters.

Well, we have good news for you

because today may be the
turning point in your career.

Patrick Lee is the
first solution candidate

for the presidency.

Today we will be revealing
one of those solutions.

A solution that will
hopefully save hundreds,

perhaps thousands of lives.

Here to explain it to
you is the next president

of the United
States, Patrick Lee.

(audience applauding)

- Good afternoon.

As many of you may know,

I was recently a
victim of gun violence

and it bothered me greatly

to think that others
may have to go through

such a traumatic experience.

The Second Amendment
of our constitution

guarantees the right of
citizens to bear arms,

both for sport and to protect
themselves and their families.

Conversely, other citizens may
feel that in the modern era

with the protection of the
police and the military,

there's no need to
have private firearms,

which may lead to
mayhem in the hands

of unscrupulous people.

Today, after working with
Oberoende organizations

across the United States
and around the world,

I want to announce our solution
to the problem, Smart Magic.

But before I answer
your questions,

I would like to
demonstrate Smart Magic

and to demonstrate
any type of magic

we would need a volunteer
from the audience.

- How about the woman in green?

- Okay.

Excuse me.

I would need to wear this to
see, because I'm legally blind.

- I know politicians have
a thing about the press.

You're not gonna use me for
target practice, are you?

- Oh, no, no.

Don't worry.

I won't shoot you.

Please introduce yourself.

- Susan Wright with
Channel Three News.

- Great.

Follow me.

(gun firing)

- Wow, that was a great shot.

- Thanks.

Your turn.

Aim at the center of the target.

Pull the trigger, try it again.

- What's wrong?

It won't fire.

- That's because
it's a Smart Gun.

Only someone who's
programmed for it can use it.

- Oh wow.

- Now try this one.

(gun firing)

- Almost no kickback.

- You just shot a Magic
Tranquilizer Bullet.

Virtually no recoil.

Anyone else wanna try?

- Hello Uncle Mitch.

Hi, this is Susan.

I heard you were in LA.

Look, this is no standard
press conference.

You have to get a media
van out here right away.

Oh, and if we have a firearms
expert, send them to.

(gun firing)

- Wow, that's fantastic.

- Thanks.

And that ladies and
gentlemen is Smart Magic.

(audience applauding)

I want you all to
give this a shot

and we'll also wanna answer
all of your questions.

But before we do so, I
wanna take this opportunity

to announce my running mate.

I'm sure some of you
have already guessed.

Please welcome the next vice
president of the United States,

Celeste Seedlingsun.

(audience applauding)

- Thank you.

This is more like it.

All right.

We know we have a
difficult race to run,

and it doesn't take a blind man

to see that America needs
visionary leadership

to tackle the problems that
affect us all as human beings.

(audience applauding)

We will now take questions.

(reporters chattering
indistinctly)

- Is this brand-new weaponry
that you guys are using

and introducing
in your campaign?

- Not exactly.

It is all based on
existing technology.

A Smart Gun technology
has been around for years,

and tranquilizing projectiles

have been used on
animals for decades.

We've combined the
two into Smart Magic,

Smart Guns, Magic Bullets.

(reporters chattering
indistinctly)

- Aren't you Mitch
Morgan from INN?

- Yes, I am.

Thank you for having me here.

So these bullets can
stop an attacker?

- Yes, and the accuracy
is far superior.

- How fast can this so-called
bullet, take someone down.

- Well, there's two
chemicals involved.

The first is a mild neurotoxin

that causes immediate effect
on the nervous system.

The second is the tranquilizer

that slows down all
bodily functions,

rendering the
attacker unconscious.

(gentle music)

Usually, public
demonstrations highlight

or expose a problem.

But we will be demonstrating
solutions to those problems.

Our objective is to find
solutions and to promote them.

Today, we pro-walk
for Smart Magic.

(audience agreeing)

- A pro-walk is neither
a march nor a protest.

A march has military
connotations

and a protest is
against something.

A pro-walk is always positive.

It's always for something,
never against anything.

Here we have the Smart Magic
sweatsuits we designed for you.

As we wear our hearts
on our sleeves,

so must we wear our
feelings and our beliefs.

In our pro-walk, we will
wear our words and thoughts.

We don't need to
carry large signs

that could be used as a weapon.

We are not going to
walk in a huge crowd

that can to some
seem threatening.

We'll walk single
file, five-feet apart.

When a light turns red,

please wait patiently for it
to change before continuing.

So no intersections are blocked
and no one is left behind.

(gentle music)

Today, is our first
pro-hike for Smart Magic.

If we take our time and
help each other along,

we will all reach
the top together

and make a powerful
statement to the world.

(inspirational music)

- Come on, guys.

(inspirational music)

Yeah, woo.

(inspirational music)

(upbeat music)

- The independent
candidate for President,

Patrick Lee's solution
to the gun controversy

is using Smart Magic technology.

Now, he and his group
made a quite a splash

in Los Angeles this weekend
as they hosted a pro-walk,

you'll also see a sign
that is bigger, brighter,

and visible only at night.

Now folks, it comes
down tomorrow.

So if you wanna get a selfie,
tonight is your last chance.

♪ Hey, hey, ho, ho,
Smart Magic's got to go ♪

♪ Four, three, two, one,
keep your hands off my gun ♪

♪ Hey, hey, ho, ho,
Smart Magic's got to go ♪

- Scenes like this are
happening around the country.

Protests and boycotts
against gun shops

that have decided to
carry Smart Magic.

Some reports claim the
National Gun Association

is behind these boycotts,

but the NGA has
officially denied it.

- Are we ready with plan B?

- Well, we have applications
for Smart Magic franchises

for entrepreneurs
across the country.

We're gonna have a few stores
up and running really soon.

- We are here with Judy
and Alex Robertson,

franchise owner of a
Smart Magic gun shop.

They're two survivors of
what is now being called

the Smart Magic Massacre.

What time did this take place?

- It was about 2:00
AM, Judy and I,

plus one of our employees
that had stayed late

to get everything ready
for today's grand opening.

And we had just
turned the lights out

and we were about to head home.

- That's when we saw like
the flickering lights

coming towards us
through the front window,

and we received
several death threats.

So we were obviously
already nervous.

I thought we were gonna die.

- It's okay.

We're safe now, dear.

We're safe.

- We've obtained security
camera footage of the incident.

The footage you're about
to see is pretty graphic,

so we must ask for viewer
discretion before watching.

- [Alex] They approached
the front of the shop.

So we grabbed some Smart
Magic firearms and ammo.

They were prepared
for confrontation.

And they were wearing
body armor, well armed.

See there, he hit that man in
the leg with a Magic Bullet.

The guy went down its seconds.

Our building alarm was triggered

and all three of us
started firing back.

- [Reporter 3] Alex, is that
you saving that man's life?

- [Alex] We could hear
the sirens approaching,

any of the attackers that were
still conscious had run off.

So I felt it was safe
that we put out the flame

before the guy was
seriously burned.

(policeman speaking
indistinctly)

- But one question,
your attackers were
wearing body armor.

How were you able
to take them out?

- We were just aiming
for their arms,

their legs, their butts.

Like any place that was
vulnerable to our ammo.

- So none of them were
permanently injured?

- No.

We're told they're
conscious and under arrest.

- Wow.

They went down so fast.

- We're just as
surprised as you are.

I mean, we'd heard all
about this weaponry

when we decided to open
a Smart Magic franchise,

but we never expected it
be to be this effective.

And if it wasn't, we'd be dead.

- Other reports from Smart Magic
locations throughout the US

show sales skyrocketing.

Several major
cities across the US

have asked to test the weapons

for their city's
police departments.

Even the leaders of the
National Gun Association

who were originally
skeptical have asked to meet

with presidential
candidate Patrick Lee.

(all applauding and cheering)

- We have had a long
and fruitful discussion

with Mr. Lee and
Ms. Seedlingsun,

along with members of
the gun control lobby.

We have come to the conclusion
that we are in support

of this new solution
to the gun controversy.

While we originally
thought Smart Magic

would give a false
sense of security

to those who wanted
to protect themselves

and their families, we now
accept that it has been proven

to be a viable weapon system.

So much so, that the NGA is
joining the gun control lobby

to back Patrick Lee's run

for president of
the United States.

- Presidential Dark
Horse, Patrick Lee,

stopped by the White
House this afternoon

after having a very successful
meeting with the NGA,

now it has been confirmed

that he is up 15% in
the national polls

and has also been invited
to join Democratic

and Republican nominees for
the first presidential debate.

Now, this should make
for a very interesting

and amazing opportunity

to see him in the
presidential debate

and now onto international news.

The border dispute
between India and Pakistan

continues to escalate,
which causes more concern

around the world.

(gentle music)

- What are those figures?

Have you been working
on this the entire time

instead of rehearsing
for the debate?

- Well, I think I just
solved another problem.

- Oh, what?

- I discovered how to
eliminate national debt.

- Are you kidding?

- You think I spent all that
time just for the fun of it?

Oh, my neck is killing me.

Well, I've actually been
spending a lot of time

planning this, but the
missing part of the solution

just came to me.

- Wait, so that's a formula

for eliminating
the national debt?

- Yeah.

By cryptocurrency.

I mean, it's not like E equals
MC squared, but it'll work.

- Wow.

Okay.

This is gonna really give
us a hand up in the debate.

- Oh, I can't use this
for the debate actually.

- Why not?

- Well, because I
have to implement it

when I'm in the White House.

- So?

- So did you forget
we made a promise

not to make any promises.

- Okay.

But this could
really put us ahead.

- No, we have to keep
this under wraps.

- I can't believe we
didn't see this coming.

Is there anything else
you've been keeping from me?

- Well, I have a plan for
eliminating federal income tax.

- Can we use that in a debate?

- No.

- What are we even training
for if we can't use all

of your ammunition?

- Well, we can use whatever
we've already accomplished.

- Okay.

But if we win, we
can use it then.

- Yeah, but we still need the
Congress to go along with it.

- Okay.

- Ah.

- I'll figure out how to say
it without making any promises.

Your hair is getting too long.

We have to cut it
before the debate.

Don't wait up for me.

I've got a presentation
with some top educators

about our new way of running
the nation's schools,

wish me luck.

- Well, with your
powers of persuasion,

you don't need any luck.

- No more playing with numbers.

Focus on the campaign and-

- [Both] Memorize
those talking points.

(gentle music)

(ominous music)

(upbeat music)

- Who is it?

Back already?

Did you lose your key card,

Barb, what are you doing here?

- I want to talk.

- About what?

- Let me in.

- Ah, I don't think
that's a good idea.

- What would you suggest?

- Why, after all this time?

- I miss you.

- You really hurt me.

- You still love me, don't you?

- Of course, I do.

You're the one who
broke up with me.

- I changed my mind.

I've been calling you, but
you refuse to talk to me.

- I've been a little tied up.

- You always used
to say you loved me,

but you never had time for me.

- I'm sorry.

I was busy with my clients
and growing the business.

- Yeah.

Just like you're busy
with your campaign.

- We haven't seen each
other in all this time.

What changed?

- I'm older now, more mature.

I think we could
really make it work.

(gentle music)

We had some really
good times up here.

Remember that one
time where you and I

were fooling around naked and
that helicopter flew over?

You know, we could try it
again now that it's dark.

- I really don't know.

I have a whole new life now.

- I know.

I miss you.

We were meant to be together.

I know that now.

- If I felt that you
really meant that

I still love you, but
you broke up with me

and when I really
needed you the most.

I was losing my sight
and the belief in myself,

and you just made it worse.

- I'll make it up to
you, I promise, Pat.

Please just gimme a chance.

- Wait, you're not doing this
for your citizenship, are you?

- No, I've got my green card.

We could tie the knot.

We could make this official.

- I have to think about this.

- Don't think, we could make
this work with me as your wife.

- I get it, you really
think I can win?

- Yes.

With me by your side.

- You don't love me.

You wanna be First Lady?

- Yes.

But I also love you.

We make the perfect team.

Your brain's, my beauty.

- I may be blind, but I
can see right through you.

We've been together way
too long for me not to.

- What are you saying?

- I'm saying with through,
like what you said

when you broke it off.

- You son of a bitch.

- What, no cussing, please.

- You think you're so powerful

now that you're gonna
debate the big guys.

Well, I'm not so helpless
that I can't bring you down.

- Well, fine.

Go ahead and try.

I don't care.

- You forget, I worked
with you in the office.

I know all of your secrets.

- Well, you got nothing on me.

- You think you
have the upper hand?

- Yes.

I think I finally do.

- We'll see about that.

You will miss me when I'm gone.

- No, I won't.

- And ever since you left,

I learned how to stand
on my own two feet.

Ah.

Oh.

- I can see that.

- Ah.

- Goodbye, Mr. President.

He's all yours bitch.

- I am waiting.

- Oh gosh.

That was Barb.

- Who?

- My ex-girlfriend.

She wanted to get back together.

Ow.

- Well, you two did a fine job.

I can't believe I
didn't foresee this.

- Ow.

My good leg.

(gentle music)

Barb and I are over,
we're finished.

- You never told me about her.

Why?

- She's young and attractive.

I just didn't want
you to be upset.

I don't wanna lose you.

- But we don't have that
kind of relationship.

It's only business.

- Yeah, I know, but
I just thought maybe,

when we first met, never mind.

I've been so dishonest.

I can't believe it.

You gave up everything for me.

You've been honest.

I don't think I could
do this anymore.

- Come on.

Don't give up.

Okay.

I, I haven't been entirely
honest with you either.

I am a seer.

- Yeah, you've been
my eyes and my voice.

I can't thank you enough.

- No, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

I never saw or heard you

announce your candidacy
for the president.

Before the day we met, I had
a vision of it, like a dream.

I have visions, I'm a seer.

- And you came all
the way for Oklahoma

to help me with the
president, the presidency.

- Not exactly.

My vision was that I
would be president.

(bell dinging)

- Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the first
presidential debate.

I'm Roberta M. Bartlett,
your moderator for tonight,

coming to you live from
Eastern Missouri University

in St. Louis.

At the podium to the right,

we have Senator William Demsey.

He's the Republican
nominee for President.

And on your left at the podium,

we have Governor John McCadden

and he's the Democratic
candidate for president.

We're getting started
a few minutes late.

We'd been waiting for
word from Patrick Lee,

he's the independent
candidate for president,

as to whether he
is going to be able

to make the debate tonight.

So, unfortunately, we will
have to start the debate

without him.

I know how much he
wanted to be here

since he lept to 15%
in the national polls.

So we will leave
his podium on stage

in the event he arrives
to the debate late.

I was going to ask the first
question of Patrick Lee.

Instead, I will
ask the two of you.

What is your opinion
of candidate Lee?

Senator Demsey?

- Well, I don't think he's
prepared to be president.

He has no real experience
in any international

or public service position,

and he is not a member of
any political party yet.

- For once, I pretty
much agree with Bill,

Lee's lack of experience

may be the reason he
is not here tonight.

The presidency is a
very demanding position.

You have to know every aspect
of running this country

and dealing with
other countries.

You have to know everything
from education and employment.

- Hi, Sam.

Excuse me.

Mr. Brightcloud.

Do you know what
happened to Patrick Lee?

Do you know why he's not
at the presidential debate?

- No comment.

- But-

- Nope.

- Cut.

- Can you tell us where
candidate Lee is hiding?

- No comment.

- And Ms. Seedlingsun?

- Same answer.

- I know Karate.

Hey, is this TMZ?

- Mr. Davies, we met before.

You're one of Patrick
Lee's CPA clients.

He did your taxes.

- Yeah, he said everything
was legit, right?

- Do you by any chance
know where he is tonight?

He was supposed to be at
the presidential debate.

- It's not over, is it?

- Well, no.

- Look, I know Patrick,
we're really close.

And I'm gonna know my man,
he'll make a dramatic entrance

at the last minute
and steal the show.

- Well, you heard it
here first, folks,

Patrick Lee is either
going to steal the show

or be a no-show.

I'm gonna toss it back
to you in the studios.

- Well, this has been
a very fruitful debate.

You did not agree on
your answers to the
topics put forward.

So I think the public has a
very clear idea before them.

Something has happened
over the last few days

that has threatened this nation

and also the rest of the world.

As you know, the
longstanding conflict

between India and Pakistan
has flared up again.

Thousands of individuals
have died on the border

between these two countries,

and now the leaders
are threatening

to use nuclear
weapons on each other.

If that happens,
millions more will die

if this is not de-escalated.

What do each of you
feel should be done

to resolve the situation?

First to you, Governor McCadden.

- Since we are not one
of the two adversaries

in this conflict, I feel
it is an important task

for the United Nations.

They have already gone
into emergency sessions

in this situation, and I
am hopeful that the nations

of the world will be able
to figure something out

and end this conflict.

After all, India and
Pakistan have a population

of over 2 billion
people and combined,

they have enough nuclear weapons

to not only kill
their own populations,

but enough to end
all of life on Earth.

- Senator Demsey?

- Well, I disagree with John
on this important point.

This is a conflict between
two sovereign nations.

Yes, both sides have
attacked each other.

Both sides have crossed
one another's borders.

Both sides have
suffered casualties.

And at this point, it
appears that both leaders

are hotheads.

But I believe this
is a situation

where the two must come together

to bring an end
to this conflict.

- Thank you for your
heartfelt responses.

We are now gonna go to
your closing statements.

Wait, wait.

I'm getting an
important bulletin.

It seems there has
been a secret meeting

between the leaders
of India and Pakistan,

and they've seemingly
resolved their conflict.

As we speak, troops
are moving back

across their respective borders

and all hostilities have ceased.

It seems your answer,
Senator Demsey,

has actually taken place.

- Thank God.

Now we can have an
election after all.

- What?

Can you put that
on the back screen?

(audience chattering
indistinctly)

We're receiving the
official photograph

of this groundbreaking meeting

that occurred less
than an hour ago.

(audience cheering
and applauding)

- The Associated Press.

(reporter speaking
in foreign language)

(upbeat music)

- Well, nobody could
have predicted what
transpired tonight.

- It looks like we have just
received a preliminary poll

of this evening's
presidential debate.

- Are you sure this is accurate?

- Apparently, the numbers
have been confirmed.

The results of our
instantaneous poll

on who the American people feel

won this evening's
presidential debate.

At 28%, Governor John McCadden,

32%, Senator William Demsey,

and at an amazing
40%, independent
candidate Patrick Lee.

- Apparently, Mr.
Lee has won a debate

he did not even attend.

- We have now learned that the
meeting between the leaders

of India and Pakistan
with Patrick Lee

and Celeste Seedlingsun have
now been arranged by Oberoende,

India, and Oberoende, Pakistan.

Now, it is also confirmed
that in addition

to Oberoende existing
in all 50 US states,

they are also in over a
hundred nations worldwide.

- In a stunning development.

Early this morning,
federal agents raided

the campaign headquarters
of Patrick Lee,

taking computers, file
cabinets, literally everything

they could get their hands on.

Acting on an anonymous tip.

They are looking for items

related to his
former CPA business.

There are allegations that
his handling of client taxes

may be in question.

We have also heard
there may be evidence

that the attempted assassination
plot may have been hatched

and carried out by
his own campaign team.

- [Reporters] Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President.

- [Reporter 4] Mr. President,
do you have any comment

on the recent raid on Patrick
Lee's campaign headquarters?

There's a rumor going around

that you knew about
it beforehand.

- That's not true.

Okay.

Patently false.

We found out about
it as it happened

just the same as you did.

Next question, please.

- [Reporters] Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President.

- [Reporter 5] Mr. President.

Yeah.

But isn't it strange
that it happened

right after he took
the lead in the polls

and right before
arriving back in the US?

- This is an inconsequential
candidate, okay?

He's not on a
ballot in any state.

And this was a coordinated
joint effort between the IRS

and the FBI.

And frankly, it should be
solved before the election.

So a cloud of distrust doesn't
hang over Mr. Lee's head.

- [Reporter 5] So are
you saying that you agree

with the raid?

- I didn't say that.

I said I understand
how these agencies work

and they're just
doing their jobs.

No more questions until
we have more information.

- [Reporters] Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President.

- It's wonderful to see so
many friends here tonight.

Now, I wanna remind
you all that Mr. Lee

is not on the
ballot of any state.

So you must write in
his name on your ballot

as president when you
vote this November.

- Are you nervous?

- Yes.

- Tell me what's bothering you.

- I didn't do anything wrong.

The whole government's
coming down on me.

- Don't worry.

The establishment's
just getting desperate.

This will all blow over,
you came outta nowhere

and they don't know
how to deal with you.

- They're grasping at straws.

They have nothing on you.

- I know that.

How do you know?

- I just know.

Trust me.

- Okay, can I wear my new eyes?

- No, no.

Absolutely not.

We talked about this.

They're way too distracting.

We want the audience
to see your eyes,

even if you're not
making eye contact.

But remember to turn your
head from side to side

and address the entire audience.

- You don't want me to see them?

- No.

Seeing all those people could
trigger your Asperger's.

- What about the
sound from the crowd?

Couldn't that trigger it?

- Possibly.

But that's what the
earplugs are for.

Okay, they're not gonna drown
out the crowd completely

but they will muffle it a bit.

- Maybe your vision's correct.

Maybe we should switch places.

Maybe you should be
running for president.

- I thought I was the teacher,

but I realize I've
learned more from you

about being a good president
and I'm still learning.

Don't worry, I can
wait eight years.

Earplugs.

- Thanks.

- [Sam] So let's give a warm
welcome to the next president

of the United States,
Patrick, Dark Horse, Lee.

and cheering)

gonna lead the way ♪

♪ Patrick Lee, he's on his way

♪ Patrick Lee is

(audience applauding
and cheering)

- I am not a man of
words, as you know.

I may not be able to see,

but I can hear you like
thunder in the night.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

I was told that the
audience comprises

of all political parties,
all genders, all ages,

all racists and creeds.

People from every state
of the United States

and many countries
around the world.

Please cheer for yourselves.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

For you the represent the change

that the world wants and needs.

I have run a different
type of campaign

and I have let you and your
concerns do most of the talking.

We believe that whatever
we do in our campaign

must have more than one purpose.

And this, this gathering
is no exception.

You are standing on
the next solution.

The land that is cleared
for this gathering

will be the solution to
the homeless crisis in LA.

It will be called Angel City.

It will eliminate Skid Row
from the streets of LA.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

Once this solution is
tested, it could be spread

to other cities in the United
States and around the world.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

I would like to get a bit
personal for a moment.

When I was a young
man, I was very naive.

Eventually, I got into the habit

of something that I
was comfortable with,

but that made my relationship

with other people
very limited at best.

And computers and other
technologies made it easier

and easier to limit
my one-on-one personal
communications.

When I got older, I started to
miss the, the companionships

that others took for granted.

I was in a relationship
with a woman, much younger.

I wanted to have a family.

I wanted to have a legacy

so that others would
know that I had existed.

And as you probably guessed,

that relationship
did not work out.

But I learned something
much more important.

I learned to be independent,
to be self-motivated,

and to live my purpose.

Today, I just found out
that two of the candidates

for the major political parties
has accepted my challenge.

From this day on, they'll be
using their campaign donations

to solve actual problems.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

And their coffers
are bigger than mine.

This makes me very happy.

(audience applauding
and cheering)

And what makes me even
more happy and secure

is that I finally
found my family.

You, you are my family.

- [Audience] Write in Patrick
Lee, write in Patrick Lee.

Write in Patrick Lee,
write in Patrick Lee.

Write in Patrick Lee,
write in Patrick Lee.

Write in Patrick Lee.

- Even if I don't
win this election,

I know that you will
carry on my ideas

and my plans will move
forward in the United States

and around the world.

You, you're my legacy.

And long after I'm
gone, if only a memory

you will carry on.

and cheering)
