1
00:00:00,372 --> 00:00:01,374
Come on.

2
00:00:01,398 --> 00:00:03,164
Cook your signature dish.

3
00:00:03,453 --> 00:00:05,364
It's perfect for family dinner.
What is your problem?

4
00:00:05,388 --> 00:00:07,533
Sure. There's nothing better
than pitting family

5
00:00:07,557 --> 00:00:09,034
against one another in a contest

6
00:00:09,058 --> 00:00:11,270
to guarantee a stressless
and loving meal.

7
00:00:11,294 --> 00:00:12,905
Hey... whatever it takes
to get us all together,

8
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:14,140
- I'm down with that.
- Thank you.

9
00:00:14,164 --> 00:00:15,441
Uh, and I think you will find

10
00:00:15,465 --> 00:00:17,143
my mandarin orange chicken miraculous.

11
00:00:17,167 --> 00:00:18,244
- Mmm, thanks.
- Do you want one?

12
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:19,245
- Dad!
- Yes. - She wants one.

13
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:20,713
- What?
- We said no campaigning.

14
00:00:20,737 --> 00:00:23,249
Exactly.: Waffle potato pancakes.

15
00:00:23,273 --> 00:00:24,817
- Hey...
- Oh, thank you, that was very subtle.

16
00:00:24,841 --> 00:00:27,086
Waffle potato pancakes,
always Yukon Gold,

17
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,955
- always hand shredded.
- And thank you.

18
00:00:29,979 --> 00:00:33,092
Thank you to my brilliant
and lovely sister

19
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:37,496
for not cooking, so that we might
truly enjoy this meal.

20
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,509
Yes. Thank you.

21
00:00:38,533 --> 00:00:41,066
Well... it is my signature dish.
Thank you, thank you.

22
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:43,035
- Now dig in.
- Okay.

23
00:00:43,059 --> 00:00:44,937
Um... c-can we say grace?

24
00:00:44,961 --> 00:00:46,672
Oh, we don't do that, sweetie.

25
00:00:46,696 --> 00:00:48,107
Well, why not?

26
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:49,675
Yeah, we'll talk about it
at home, okay?

27
00:00:49,699 --> 00:00:51,444
It's fine with us.

28
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:52,878
But not with the man
who never takes off

29
00:00:52,902 --> 00:00:54,380
his John 3:30 bracelet.

30
00:00:54,404 --> 00:00:57,316
Well, that's about faith.
And this is personal.

31
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:59,151
I-I'm happy to talk about this later.

32
00:00:59,175 --> 00:01:00,519
I just don't think we should casually

33
00:01:00,543 --> 00:01:01,520
participate in a ritual

34
00:01:01,544 --> 00:01:03,088
we haven't defined for ourselves.

35
00:01:03,112 --> 00:01:04,690
Well, Annie casually
participated in saying grace

36
00:01:04,714 --> 00:01:06,692
at Gwendolyn's house,
and she liked it.

37
00:01:06,716 --> 00:01:09,462
This really isn't the time
or the place to discuss it.

38
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:10,696
Exactly. So in the meantime,
if she wants to say

39
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,131
a prayer and be thankful,
it wouldn't hurt anyone.

40
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:13,132
And I think that this should

41
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:15,234
be a family meeting for another time.

42
00:01:15,258 --> 00:01:18,337
What if the McCords say grace
and, Annie, you can join in?

43
00:01:18,361 --> 00:01:21,263
What if you two don't put
me on the spot like this?

44
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,045
Mandarin chicken, anybody?

45
00:01:26,069 --> 00:01:27,580
I'm not campaigning, just asking.

46
00:01:27,604 --> 00:01:28,981
Do you remember the prayer
you said at Gwendolyn's house?

47
00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:31,050
- Soph.
- Yeah.

48
00:01:31,074 --> 00:01:34,920
"God is great, God is good.
Let us thank him for this food."

49
00:01:34,944 --> 00:01:35,921
- There we go. Amen.
- Amen.

50
00:01:35,945 --> 00:01:38,090
- Annie, do you want chicken?
- Yes.

51
00:01:38,114 --> 00:01:39,032
Yum.

52
00:01:39,056 --> 00:01:41,427
Okay, what,
these-these are vegan, right?

53
00:01:50,226 --> 00:01:51,504
I can't get past it.

54
00:01:51,528 --> 00:01:53,128
You should really try.

55
00:01:55,265 --> 00:01:57,343
Was it really such a big deal

56
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:59,278
that his eight-year-old daughter
wanted to say

57
00:01:59,302 --> 00:02:00,779
a prayer before dinner?

58
00:02:00,803 --> 00:02:02,281
What, he can't participate

59
00:02:02,305 --> 00:02:04,850
in anything until he's defined it?

60
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:06,485
- What-what is that?
- Babe, a lot of couples have struggles

61
00:02:06,509 --> 00:02:08,561
around the role religion is
gonna play in their lives.

62
00:02:08,585 --> 00:02:10,923
- Yes, of course.
- Remember us after Stevie was born?

63
00:02:10,947 --> 00:02:15,194
Yes, but the difference is,
you... are a sane person

64
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:18,030
who is willing to listen
and respect the fact

65
00:02:18,054 --> 00:02:19,665
that your wife was
still working through

66
00:02:19,689 --> 00:02:23,369
some issues about organized religion.
Yes, and you were able

67
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:24,837
to understand that it was
important to me to have the kids

68
00:02:24,861 --> 00:02:26,038
- get some exposure to it.
- Fine.

69
00:02:26,062 --> 00:02:29,842
Maybe Will and Sophie...
just haven't had that talk.

70
00:02:29,866 --> 00:02:32,011
Still... he couldn't
just do it for Annie?

71
00:02:32,035 --> 00:02:35,414
Have the-the big talk later?

72
00:02:35,438 --> 00:02:36,849
I don't know.

73
00:02:36,873 --> 00:02:40,152
You can't just put your kid
in the middle of a scene

74
00:02:40,176 --> 00:02:44,813
like that to defend some
vague... you know...

75
00:02:47,483 --> 00:02:48,984
...principle.

76
00:02:51,821 --> 00:02:54,400
So you're just deliberately
not getting involved.

77
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:57,703
Bingo.

78
00:02:57,727 --> 00:03:00,806
Because you think that I'm-I'm
too parental with Will?

79
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:02,708
Correct.

80
00:03:02,732 --> 00:03:05,744
Well, I was, actually...

81
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:10,749
sort of like his parent.
And I feel a responsibility

82
00:03:10,773 --> 00:03:13,052
to help when he...

83
00:03:13,076 --> 00:03:14,075
does these things that are...

84
00:03:14,099 --> 00:03:15,487
Yeah, but then you just
talk in that tone of voice,

85
00:03:15,511 --> 00:03:17,056
and he gets angry and defensive,

86
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,215
- and he can't take in a word you say.
- ...so extraordinarily stupid.

87
00:03:28,791 --> 00:03:30,102
Maybe you should talk to him.

88
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:33,939
- Uh, no.
- He respects you.

89
00:03:33,963 --> 00:03:37,610
You could give him
some... religious advice.

90
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:39,845
- Babe, he's a grown man.
- It would be a perfect time for you

91
00:03:39,869 --> 00:03:41,780
to trot out your old pal Aquinas.

92
00:03:41,804 --> 00:03:44,016
I'm not gonna talk to him
about his adult behavior.

93
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,017
It wasn't all that adult.

94
00:03:45,041 --> 00:03:47,820
Stop it.

95
00:03:47,844 --> 00:03:51,690
Look... you're going away tomorrow.

96
00:03:51,714 --> 00:03:54,393
Why don't you join me in this bed

97
00:03:54,417 --> 00:03:57,452
and we can not talk about it?

98
00:03:59,122 --> 00:04:00,633
Okay.

99
00:04:05,995 --> 00:04:08,107
You move that State Department
folder one more time,

100
00:04:08,131 --> 00:04:09,775
and I will turn your stay
on the seventh floor

101
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:14,046
into a horrifying fever dream.

102
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:15,403
Thank you.

103
00:04:16,539 --> 00:04:17,850
You'd think the Defense
Department would be

104
00:04:17,874 --> 00:04:19,351
a little more secure.

105
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:21,353
You know what? I'm
actually kind of relieved

106
00:04:21,377 --> 00:04:23,422
I don't have to go to
Afghanistan with this crowd.

107
00:04:23,446 --> 00:04:25,557
The signing of the Afghanistan
Rebuild-Renew Agreement

108
00:04:25,581 --> 00:04:27,333
would be the event of the
year if we can pull it off.

109
00:04:27,357 --> 00:04:30,562
Hey! Leave it! Thank you.

110
00:04:30,586 --> 00:04:32,231
You're right. It could get tense.

111
00:04:32,255 --> 00:04:33,866
Still got a lot of details to work out

112
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:36,035
with President Sharza
about the spending

113
00:04:36,059 --> 00:04:38,937
of this $10 billion aid
package we're sending them.

114
00:04:38,961 --> 00:04:40,973
Yeah, well, they've done
everything they promised

115
00:04:40,997 --> 00:04:42,841
in terms of meeting
their human rights benchmarks

116
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:44,510
and allowing the Taliban
to be a part of the government.

117
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:46,045
So, they'll be tough,
but it'll work out,

118
00:04:46,069 --> 00:04:47,780
because it's $10 billion
and they need it.

119
00:04:47,804 --> 00:04:49,548
And Gordon Becker
will get that drawdown

120
00:04:49,572 --> 00:04:51,784
on close to 90,000 troops.

121
00:04:51,808 --> 00:04:54,253
Still no women allowed
in government, though.

122
00:04:54,277 --> 00:04:57,823
That must have been a hard
concession for M-Sec to make.

123
00:04:57,847 --> 00:04:59,391
You have no idea. Majority of Afghans

124
00:04:59,415 --> 00:05:00,826
wanted the Taliban
involved in the government,

125
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:02,661
and they weren't willing
to budge on that.

126
00:05:02,685 --> 00:05:05,064
Oh, well. Just give 'em
another hundred years or so.

127
00:05:05,088 --> 00:05:06,465
Oh!

128
00:05:06,489 --> 00:05:09,368
Hey, someone's a little
overeager for the trip.

129
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:13,305
Okay, okay. I-I got that thing
for my mom first, remember?

130
00:05:13,329 --> 00:05:15,240
I'm arriving in Kabul a day late.

131
00:05:15,264 --> 00:05:16,308
- Oh, right.
- What thing?

132
00:05:16,332 --> 00:05:17,843
Her 70th birthday.

133
00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:19,178
Oh, that's quite a thing.

134
00:05:19,202 --> 00:05:21,213
Yeah, her mosque is
throwing her a party,

135
00:05:21,237 --> 00:05:22,715
and I'm her surprise gift.

136
00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:26,318
Oh. But you're also arriving

137
00:05:26,342 --> 00:05:27,553
with a real gift for her, right?

138
00:05:27,577 --> 00:05:30,556
Of course he is. His one
and only mother is turning 70.

139
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:32,157
Okay. I've got to write
M-Sec's remarks

140
00:05:32,181 --> 00:05:35,828
for the signing in Kabul.
I'm only one man.

141
00:05:35,852 --> 00:05:39,832
Remarks for Kabul, useless
unappreciated gift for Mom...

142
00:05:39,856 --> 00:05:40,999
see what I'm saying?

143
00:05:41,023 --> 00:05:42,401
Well, maybe don't go
with something so useless.

144
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:44,203
Or maybe just wait
for another birthday.

145
00:05:44,227 --> 00:05:45,604
I mean, she's probably
gonna live forever, right?

146
00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:47,439
Damn it. Okay,
I-I'll get the work done,

147
00:05:47,463 --> 00:05:48,807
and then I'll pick up a gift
at the airport.

148
00:05:48,831 --> 00:05:50,175
- Hey...
- Oh, yeah.

149
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:51,677
'Cause nothing screams "thank
you for giving me life"

150
00:05:51,701 --> 00:05:53,078
like something from the airport.

151
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:54,813
Jewelry!

152
00:05:54,837 --> 00:05:57,082
They sell jewelry at the airport.

153
00:05:57,106 --> 00:06:01,487
Wow... how did this happen?

154
00:06:01,511 --> 00:06:04,623
Ah! You did this, didn't you?

155
00:06:04,647 --> 00:06:06,391
No. It's not my job anymore.

156
00:06:06,415 --> 00:06:08,360
This is Secretary of Defense Becker

157
00:06:08,384 --> 00:06:10,763
putting out a big spread
as a power move.

158
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:12,631
Good luck with that. He's on our turf.

159
00:06:12,655 --> 00:06:15,200
Yeah, our turf, but now
we're all gonna talk

160
00:06:15,224 --> 00:06:18,036
- about the food and who supplied it.
- Genius.

161
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:20,639
Yeah. It's gonna leave
a pretty big mess to clean up.

162
00:06:20,663 --> 00:06:23,208
I'll manage. So, wait, you were a part

163
00:06:23,232 --> 00:06:25,144
of this Afghan deal from
the beginning, right?

164
00:06:25,168 --> 00:06:28,447
Is it weird not to be
going on this trip?

165
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:30,182
No. I mean, policy keeps me
pretty busy.

166
00:06:30,206 --> 00:06:31,750
Not too busy to remember to ask you

167
00:06:31,774 --> 00:06:35,621
if you set up a lunch date
in Kabul for the secretary

168
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,256
and Amina Salah.

169
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:41,326
Amina Salah... the former
Afghan minister of education,

170
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:43,028
who lost her job in the peace deal

171
00:06:43,052 --> 00:06:44,596
that Secretary McCord championed?

172
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:46,165
Yeah. Lunch is confirmed for Tuesday.

173
00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:47,800
- Okay, now you're just showing off.
- Yep.

174
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,068
Okay, everyone. Fill your plates
and find your seats.

175
00:06:50,092 --> 00:06:53,238
And we can thank
Secretary Becker when he arrives

176
00:06:53,262 --> 00:06:55,040
for this generous spread.

177
00:06:55,064 --> 00:06:57,009
I-I... Gordon, I hear you.

178
00:06:57,033 --> 00:06:58,544
But there's been relative peace

179
00:06:58,568 --> 00:07:00,245
in Afghanistan for over a year,

180
00:07:00,269 --> 00:07:03,081
and contrary to our biggest concerns,

181
00:07:03,105 --> 00:07:05,250
Taliban has not taken
over the government.

182
00:07:05,274 --> 00:07:06,351
Then you haven't heard me.

183
00:07:06,375 --> 00:07:07,619
'Cause the hardliners
are already pushing back

184
00:07:07,643 --> 00:07:09,354
on the conditions we put on 'em

185
00:07:09,378 --> 00:07:12,624
- to receive the aid package.
- They're not gonna leave $10 billion

186
00:07:12,648 --> 00:07:14,326
sitting on the table.

187
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:15,861
This is last-minute posturing.

188
00:07:15,885 --> 00:07:17,963
Look, I can admit,
the deal's turned out

189
00:07:17,987 --> 00:07:19,097
better than I expected,

190
00:07:19,121 --> 00:07:21,333
- but it's a fragile peace.
- I know.

191
00:07:21,357 --> 00:07:22,334
We've lost some good people

192
00:07:22,358 --> 00:07:24,036
to green-on-blue attacks.

193
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:26,438
Well, we've lost far fewer soldiers

194
00:07:26,462 --> 00:07:27,873
than an all-out military attack

195
00:07:27,897 --> 00:07:29,508
- would have cost us.
- I-I know that.

196
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:31,577
I-I understand the
benefits, Elizabeth.

197
00:07:31,601 --> 00:07:33,378
Believe me, I'm on
the side of the deal.

198
00:07:33,402 --> 00:07:35,081
Nobody wants the troops
home more than I do.

199
00:07:35,082 --> 00:07:35,963
I know.

200
00:07:35,964 --> 00:07:38,517
It's just my job to
anticipate the problems.

201
00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:41,019
And you're very good at it.

202
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:42,354
Hoping that this briefing

203
00:07:42,378 --> 00:07:44,012
maybe puts some of
your concerns to rest.

204
00:07:45,014 --> 00:07:48,994
Wow. Where'd this come from?

205
00:07:49,018 --> 00:07:51,052
People got to eat.

206
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,435
There's so many pretty colors.

207
00:07:56,459 --> 00:07:58,537
I agree.

208
00:07:58,561 --> 00:08:01,356
- It was hard to choose which ones.
- Hmm.

209
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:03,976
I love crafts, I just never
seem to have the time.

210
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,477
Me, too.

211
00:08:05,501 --> 00:08:07,679
I was in the hospital for four months,

212
00:08:07,703 --> 00:08:10,816
- so I had time to sew this.
- Uh, well, not sew.

213
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,718
That's, um, that's with a needle.

214
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:16,989
Uh... you, um, you braided them.

215
00:08:17,013 --> 00:08:19,124
Uh... yes. Braided.

216
00:08:19,148 --> 00:08:22,494
Well, whatever you
did, they're amazing.

217
00:08:22,518 --> 00:08:23,798
And your heart's all better now?

218
00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:28,100
All better.

219
00:08:28,124 --> 00:08:31,069
Ah. Yes. All better.

220
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,138
Mm-hmm. Farhana will be able to lead

221
00:08:33,162 --> 00:08:34,439
a normal life.

222
00:08:34,463 --> 00:08:36,208
I'm s... I'm... I'm her chaperone.

223
00:08:36,232 --> 00:08:37,743
I'm with an organization
called Heart Train.

224
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,311
- Oh, I know Heart Train.
- Do you?

225
00:08:39,335 --> 00:08:40,979
Yeah, you guys do amazing work

226
00:08:41,003 --> 00:08:42,114
bringing children to the U.S.

227
00:08:42,138 --> 00:08:43,649
for cardiology procedures.

228
00:08:43,673 --> 00:08:46,184
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, actually, I gave you

229
00:08:46,208 --> 00:08:47,252
a shout-out last year,

230
00:08:47,276 --> 00:08:48,587
in one of the secretary's speeches.

231
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:50,856
- That's on our website.
- Really?

232
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,890
- Yes.
- Ah.

233
00:08:51,914 --> 00:08:53,492
We... Really, that meant so much to us

234
00:08:53,516 --> 00:08:54,493
to have the Secretary of State

235
00:08:54,517 --> 00:08:55,494
highlight our work.

236
00:08:55,518 --> 00:08:57,062
Good.

237
00:08:57,086 --> 00:08:58,397
- I...
- Highlight?

238
00:08:58,421 --> 00:09:01,600
- Oh, um...
- It's like, um...

239
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:04,069
when you shine a light on something,

240
00:09:04,093 --> 00:09:05,237
to see it.

241
00:09:05,261 --> 00:09:08,407
Except you... we use words.

242
00:09:08,431 --> 00:09:11,076
Oh, I say "we" because, um,

243
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,145
I write all the secretary's speeches.

244
00:09:13,169 --> 00:09:16,949
So many ways to say one thing.

245
00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:19,785
I'm very happy I got to come
here for my heart.

246
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:23,288
But I find the United States too much.

247
00:09:23,312 --> 00:09:25,424
And I miss my family.

248
00:09:25,448 --> 00:09:26,425
Well, you're going back

249
00:09:26,449 --> 00:09:29,061
to Afghanistan healthy.

250
00:09:29,085 --> 00:09:31,586
And you've learned a new language.

251
00:09:32,588 --> 00:09:35,534
I'm afraid I will forget.

252
00:09:35,558 --> 00:09:38,003
No one in my village talks English.

253
00:09:38,027 --> 00:09:39,538
But I can't wait to be home.

254
00:09:39,562 --> 00:09:41,373
And have my mother make her piti.

255
00:09:41,397 --> 00:09:44,076
The bean soup?

256
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:45,610
I love piti.

257
00:09:45,634 --> 00:09:47,769
My Ade makes the best.

258
00:09:49,772 --> 00:09:52,250
Um... excuse me. Sir? Hi.

259
00:09:52,274 --> 00:09:54,040
- Hi. Hi.
- Hi.

260
00:09:54,518 --> 00:09:56,788
I was wondering if you could
open this window shade.

261
00:09:56,812 --> 00:09:58,724
Um, I need some natural light
for my selfie

262
00:09:58,748 --> 00:10:00,192
or my skin looks blah.

263
00:10:00,216 --> 00:10:02,083
Okay.

264
00:10:04,887 --> 00:10:08,066
Yeah? Okay.

265
00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:10,024
Kids these days.

266
00:10:12,928 --> 00:10:15,073
Oh, oh, n... don't worry about it,

267
00:10:15,097 --> 00:10:16,108
don't worry about it, it's just, uh,

268
00:10:16,132 --> 00:10:18,377
a little turbulence.

269
00:10:18,401 --> 00:10:21,013
I hate turbulence, too.

270
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:23,671
This is only the second time I fly.

271
00:10:25,574 --> 00:10:29,310
Well, I promise you, you'll be fine.

272
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,097
- Well...
- That's perfect.

273
00:10:39,121 --> 00:10:40,165
I'm sorry.

274
00:10:40,189 --> 00:10:42,034
Uh, it was lovely meeting you both.

275
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:44,469
And I-I really do, uh,

276
00:10:44,493 --> 00:10:46,705
appreciate the work your
organization does, Leslie.

277
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:48,840
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Yeah. Come visit us sometime.

278
00:10:48,864 --> 00:10:50,108
All right.

279
00:10:50,132 --> 00:10:54,079
I wish you good health
and a delicious piti.

280
00:10:54,103 --> 00:10:57,382
Mr. Mahoney.

281
00:10:57,406 --> 00:10:58,884
I want to give you this.

282
00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:00,719
To remember me.

283
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:02,254
You can put it on your backpack

284
00:11:02,278 --> 00:11:04,089
or give it to your wife.

285
00:11:04,113 --> 00:11:06,725
Wow. Really?

286
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:09,528
This is... This is great.

287
00:11:09,552 --> 00:11:10,529
I-I'm not married,

288
00:11:10,553 --> 00:11:11,797
but my girlfriend will love it.

289
00:11:11,821 --> 00:11:14,232
Thank you. I mean...

290
00:11:16,058 --> 00:11:17,836
You guys, the line's moving.

291
00:11:17,860 --> 00:11:20,328
Oh, please go ahead.

292
00:11:30,539 --> 00:11:32,851
This timetable
for the rebuilding of schools

293
00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:34,019
is impossible.

294
00:11:34,043 --> 00:11:36,288
Well, Mr. President, you have lamented

295
00:11:36,312 --> 00:11:39,524
on more than one occasion
that the destruction

296
00:11:39,548 --> 00:11:42,461
of the schools has been crippling

297
00:11:42,485 --> 00:11:46,264
to your next generation
and future economy.

298
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:47,566
That is true.

299
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:50,502
If we could get a
sense of how many schools

300
00:11:50,526 --> 00:11:53,672
we're talking about,
that would be helpful.

301
00:11:53,696 --> 00:11:54,840
That could be quite a...

302
00:11:54,864 --> 00:11:56,708
Matt Mahoney! Matt Mahoney!

303
00:11:56,732 --> 00:11:59,144
I know him! Please!

304
00:11:59,168 --> 00:12:01,012
Please, please, Matt Mahoney!

305
00:12:01,036 --> 00:12:02,247
I know him. Authorized personnel only.

306
00:12:02,271 --> 00:12:03,682
- Please. Please.
- Move away from the gate.

307
00:12:03,706 --> 00:12:06,407
- Matt Mahoney!
- Farhana?

308
00:12:08,502 --> 00:12:10,502
Let me in! They will kill me! Help me!

309
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:13,859
Are you okay?

310
00:12:13,883 --> 00:12:15,227
- Ma'am, stop.
- Please, help me

311
00:12:15,251 --> 00:12:17,129
You have to move away from the gate.
Farhana! Farhana!

312
00:12:17,153 --> 00:12:18,530
You need to move away from the gate.

313
00:12:18,554 --> 00:12:20,054
Slow down, what's happening?

314
00:12:20,316 --> 00:12:21,416
They will kill me!

315
00:12:21,957 --> 00:12:23,468
Okay, open the gate.
Under whose authority?

316
00:12:23,492 --> 00:12:25,270
Secretary of State.
Do it now! Come on.

317
00:12:25,294 --> 00:12:28,039
Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Hurry up.

318
00:12:28,063 --> 00:12:29,875
Stop! This is United States property.

319
00:12:29,899 --> 00:12:31,877
Move away, or we'll call the police.

320
00:12:31,901 --> 00:12:33,678
I don't know what you're saying!

321
00:12:33,702 --> 00:12:35,247
Who are those guys? What's going on?

322
00:12:35,271 --> 00:12:39,050
They're going to kill me
because of you.

323
00:12:39,074 --> 00:12:41,419
Farhana!

324
00:12:43,241 --> 00:12:48,979

325
00:12:49,854 --> 00:12:52,450
So we're talking about an
honor killing? You're sure?

326
00:12:52,451 --> 00:12:53,762
Yes. That's what she says.

327
00:12:53,786 --> 00:12:56,450
And I saw her family, uh, three men,

328
00:12:56,451 --> 00:12:57,728
they tried to grab her.

329
00:12:57,752 --> 00:13:00,031
I mean, we had to let her in.

330
00:13:00,055 --> 00:13:03,201
Oh, my God, I can't believe
this... it's all because of me.

331
00:13:03,225 --> 00:13:04,902
Just because you
talked to her on a plane?

332
00:13:04,926 --> 00:13:07,905
Yes. I mean, no. Th-They made it
look like more, but it wasn't.

333
00:13:07,929 --> 00:13:09,373
Apparently there was an American

334
00:13:09,397 --> 00:13:12,543
teenage girl sitting behind them
coming to visit her FSO dad,

335
00:13:12,567 --> 00:13:14,679
and she made a video of them chatting

336
00:13:14,703 --> 00:13:15,947
and turned it into a romance.

337
00:13:15,971 --> 00:13:17,582
It's all shot between our two seats.

338
00:13:17,606 --> 00:13:19,884
Sh-Sh-She called it
"Between the Seats,"

339
00:13:19,908 --> 00:13:22,887
and edited and narrated it
into this total lie.

340
00:13:22,911 --> 00:13:25,690
Maybe Cupid and
his arrow, like, totally exist,

341
00:13:25,714 --> 00:13:28,092
or maybe it was Saturn
being in Capricorn

342
00:13:28,116 --> 00:13:31,028
that brought these two strangers
on a plane together.

343
00:13:31,052 --> 00:13:32,163
Whatever.

344
00:13:32,187 --> 00:13:33,264
It didn't take long

345
00:13:33,288 --> 00:13:35,233
for him to get the hot Muslim girl

346
00:13:35,257 --> 00:13:38,870
to drop her guard
and dig his vibe and let him

347
00:13:38,894 --> 00:13:40,238
buy her a drink.

348
00:13:40,262 --> 00:13:41,405
It was a club soda!

349
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:43,174
I-I-I held it while
she changed her shawl.

350
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:46,177
...that make love bloom, and
this dude knew all the tricks.

351
00:13:46,201 --> 00:13:47,578
I opened that for Leslie,
her chaperone!

352
00:13:47,602 --> 00:13:48,579
Matt, calm down.

353
00:13:48,603 --> 00:13:50,848
And then it happened.

354
00:13:50,872 --> 00:13:53,251
Aw. Is it the beginning?

355
00:13:53,275 --> 00:13:56,287
Or just, like, a thing on a plane?

356
00:13:56,311 --> 00:13:58,089
Can love that starts
in the clouds last?

357
00:13:58,113 --> 00:14:00,358
We may never know, but wait...

358
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:02,727
- I'm not married.
- Well...

359
00:14:02,751 --> 00:14:05,696
not much of a proposal, dude,

360
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,998
but good luck, lovers!

361
00:14:07,022 --> 00:14:08,132
I wasn't hitting on her.

362
00:14:08,156 --> 00:14:11,068
She told me to give
the bracelet to my wife,

363
00:14:11,092 --> 00:14:12,303
and I was explaining
right afterwards...

364
00:14:12,327 --> 00:14:13,471
I said my girlfriend...

365
00:14:13,495 --> 00:14:14,805
Sit down, just breathe.
It was turbulence.

366
00:14:14,829 --> 00:14:16,040
That's why she touched me.
She was scared.

367
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:18,676
- She didn't mean to.
- Thank you.

368
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:20,478
I can't believe I opened
my window shade

369
00:14:20,502 --> 00:14:22,346
for that social media
fake video person.

370
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:24,448
How did Farhana's family
even see this?

371
00:14:24,472 --> 00:14:26,083
Facebook. There's an Afghan youth page

372
00:14:26,107 --> 00:14:27,485
that's very popular.

373
00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:29,453
The girl from the plane
sent it to her friend

374
00:14:29,477 --> 00:14:30,888
in Kabul, who posted it right away.

375
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:33,724
It had 5,000 hits
before we even left the airport.

376
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:35,993
This is a nightmare. Look, honor
killing is against Afghan law.

377
00:14:36,017 --> 00:14:37,862
We can just report
the threat to the police.

378
00:14:37,886 --> 00:14:39,163
That won't help.

379
00:14:39,187 --> 00:14:42,967
Farhana's from a very rural
village called Asadabad.

380
00:14:42,991 --> 00:14:46,003
I mean, it is tribal
and the hard-line Taliban,

381
00:14:46,027 --> 00:14:48,139
the Salafi jihadists,
they are in charge there.

382
00:14:48,163 --> 00:14:50,107
All right, here's the problem.

383
00:14:50,131 --> 00:14:52,176
Farhana is 17 years old,
that means she's a minor,

384
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,979
and we can't keep her
unless she asks for asylum,

385
00:14:55,003 --> 00:14:56,247
which apparently she's refusing to do.

386
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:58,082
She doesn't want to go to America.

387
00:14:58,106 --> 00:14:59,583
She wants to be with her family.

388
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:03,254
I mean, she did until they
decided to kill her. Oh, my God.

389
00:15:03,278 --> 00:15:05,323
Not to pile on, but there's
another complicating factor.

390
00:15:05,347 --> 00:15:08,859
Farhana's uncle is the governor
of Samangan Province

391
00:15:08,883 --> 00:15:10,695
and a good friend

392
00:15:10,719 --> 00:15:12,730
- of President Sharza.
- That could be good, though.

393
00:15:12,754 --> 00:15:14,632
Maybe the uncle could get me in touch

394
00:15:14,656 --> 00:15:16,300
with Farhana's family.

395
00:15:16,324 --> 00:15:18,369
I could explain
the whole thing to them.

396
00:15:18,393 --> 00:15:20,705
We could track down, uh, uh,

397
00:15:20,729 --> 00:15:22,506
the chaperone from
Heart Train, Leslie,

398
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:24,275
she could back up the story.

399
00:15:24,299 --> 00:15:25,609
I don't think they'd be receptive

400
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:27,678
- to hearing from you right now.
- We have to try.

401
00:15:27,702 --> 00:15:29,880
Okay, I have, uh, seen the video.

402
00:15:29,904 --> 00:15:31,615
- Ma'am...
- No, don't worry,

403
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:32,950
Matt, I know it's baloney,

404
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:35,453
but I did move up
my meeting with Amina.

405
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:38,389
Just think we could probably
use her perspective,

406
00:15:38,413 --> 00:15:40,257
and since we've already
hit a few speed bumps

407
00:15:40,281 --> 00:15:41,959
with the Rebuild-Renew Agreement,

408
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,494
I'm gonna need a private meeting

409
00:15:43,518 --> 00:15:47,031
with President Sharza ASAP just
to avoid any negative impact

410
00:15:47,055 --> 00:15:48,699
that this could have
on the negotiation, okay?

411
00:15:48,723 --> 00:15:50,735
I'm so sorry, ma'am.

412
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:52,370
No, no, don't-don't beat yourself up.

413
00:15:52,394 --> 00:15:54,305
There's no way that you
could have anticipated this.

414
00:15:54,329 --> 00:15:55,840
I should have. I know the culture.

415
00:15:55,864 --> 00:15:57,808
I know that there are
cameras everywhere now.

416
00:15:57,832 --> 00:16:00,478
I'm-I'm a representative
of the State Department.

417
00:16:00,502 --> 00:16:01,645
Matt.

418
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:03,314
We'll do our best to remedy this.

419
00:16:03,338 --> 00:16:04,849
I was just saying that I-I...
if I met with the parents,

420
00:16:04,873 --> 00:16:06,183
I could explain everything.

421
00:16:06,207 --> 00:16:07,518
Okay, I'm gonna run that by Amina,

422
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:08,819
and we'll see what she thinks.

423
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:11,622
Daisy, you do whatever
you can to make sure

424
00:16:11,646 --> 00:16:12,990
this doesn't become a bigger story.

425
00:16:13,014 --> 00:16:14,125
- Thank you, guys.
- Let's go.

426
00:16:14,149 --> 00:16:15,826
- Come on.
- Yeah.

427
00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:17,895
Ma'am, uh, we're already

428
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:19,230
coloring way outside the lines here.

429
00:16:19,254 --> 00:16:21,365
I don't know how long we can keep her.

430
00:16:21,389 --> 00:16:24,268
Well, we're gonna keep her
until we can't.

431
00:16:24,292 --> 00:16:25,859
- Okay?
- Yes, ma'am.

432
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:36,881
- Hey, look who's here.
- Hey.

433
00:16:36,905 --> 00:16:39,550
Yeah, I went out for a walk and...

434
00:16:39,574 --> 00:16:41,241
I guess this is where I ended up.

435
00:16:42,777 --> 00:16:45,689
Elizabeth's in Afghanistan, right?

436
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:47,758
Yup. You want a beer?

437
00:16:47,782 --> 00:16:49,794
Oh, does the Pope wear a dress?

438
00:16:49,818 --> 00:16:51,128
I wanted to apologize

439
00:16:51,152 --> 00:16:53,364
for the other night.

440
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:56,867
You guys are dealing with
the whole religion issue, huh?

441
00:16:56,891 --> 00:16:58,436
Yeah, I guess.

442
00:16:58,460 --> 00:17:00,704
Out of nowhere.

443
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:03,374
I mean, I've always been open to it.

444
00:17:03,398 --> 00:17:07,711
Thanks. Sophie's always
been rigidly opposed.

445
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:09,914
And we never

446
00:17:09,938 --> 00:17:12,983
talked about it much at all
until last month

447
00:17:13,007 --> 00:17:15,586
when I looked into sending Annie
to a private Catholic school,

448
00:17:15,610 --> 00:17:17,822
purely for the educational benefits,

449
00:17:17,846 --> 00:17:20,224
and Sophie completely freaked out.

450
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:22,493
Accused me of wanting
to cloister her away

451
00:17:22,517 --> 00:17:24,195
with antiquated religious ideas

452
00:17:24,219 --> 00:17:25,830
about the role of women in society,

453
00:17:25,854 --> 00:17:30,367
something, something, and its
inherent poisonous patriarchy.

454
00:17:30,391 --> 00:17:32,703
You would've thought
I wanted to boil her in oil.

455
00:17:33,895 --> 00:17:36,440
I had barely recovered
from that, and now suddenly

456
00:17:36,464 --> 00:17:38,843
she's fine with saying grace
at the family table.

457
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:41,178
- What is that about?
- Yeah.

458
00:17:42,203 --> 00:17:44,504
No, I'm, I'm asking.
What is that about?

459
00:17:45,807 --> 00:17:48,819
Well, I can tell you what
it's not about... religion.

460
00:17:48,843 --> 00:17:51,155
- Mm.
- I mean, come on,

461
00:17:51,179 --> 00:17:52,590
is that the only thing you guys

462
00:17:52,614 --> 00:17:53,891
have been fighting about recently?

463
00:17:53,915 --> 00:17:56,927
Because the tension
in the air seemed a little

464
00:17:56,951 --> 00:18:01,332
thick to be just an argument
about saying grace.

465
00:18:01,356 --> 00:18:04,224
Yeah. We fight all the time.

466
00:18:05,326 --> 00:18:07,738
We always have.

467
00:18:07,762 --> 00:18:11,509
The thing is, the making up...

468
00:18:11,533 --> 00:18:13,644
used to be a lot more fun.

469
00:18:13,668 --> 00:18:15,346
Have you guys tried counseling?

470
00:18:15,370 --> 00:18:18,649
- No.
- Why not?

471
00:18:18,673 --> 00:18:21,385
Well, it just feels like
the beginning of the end.

472
00:18:21,409 --> 00:18:24,044
I mean, does it ever work?
Elizabeth and I have done it.

473
00:18:26,047 --> 00:18:29,693
The soul mate unicorn couple,

474
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:30,961
themselves?

475
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:32,663
What is it Joseph Campbell
says about marriage?

476
00:18:32,687 --> 00:18:34,899
It's not an adventure
or a journey or a-an affair.

477
00:18:34,923 --> 00:18:36,066
It's an ordeal.

478
00:18:36,090 --> 00:18:38,636
Then we're on the right track.

479
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:42,239
Seriously, when you're stuck,

480
00:18:42,263 --> 00:18:44,241
a third party's perspective
can be helpful.

481
00:18:44,265 --> 00:18:47,044
But if they're qualified to do that,

482
00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:50,347
by which I mean not me
and definitely not your sister.

483
00:18:50,371 --> 00:18:51,715
All right.

484
00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:55,219
If it worked for you guys,
I guess it's worth a try.

485
00:18:55,243 --> 00:18:57,611
To saving the ordeal.

486
00:18:59,681 --> 00:19:01,225
Yes, I saw the video.

487
00:19:01,249 --> 00:19:03,627
Our government does everything
it can to ban social media,

488
00:19:03,651 --> 00:19:06,830
but we both know repression
only feeds innovation.

489
00:19:06,854 --> 00:19:11,569
This girl's family sends her
for a life-saving operation

490
00:19:11,593 --> 00:19:13,637
in the United States.
Now they want to kill her

491
00:19:13,661 --> 00:19:15,739
for talking to a man on the plane,

492
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:18,609
in the presence of her chaperone.

493
00:19:18,633 --> 00:19:20,411
Even if the parents are ambivalent,

494
00:19:20,435 --> 00:19:22,479
they get pressure from the community.

495
00:19:22,503 --> 00:19:25,049
Honor killing is a
marginalized custom,

496
00:19:25,073 --> 00:19:27,251
mostly found in the
more rural provinces

497
00:19:27,275 --> 00:19:29,520
where it can't accurately be policed.

498
00:19:29,544 --> 00:19:31,155
Some of our research indicates

499
00:19:31,179 --> 00:19:33,891
there has actually been
an uptick in the practice

500
00:19:33,915 --> 00:19:35,593
since you helped forge the deal

501
00:19:35,617 --> 00:19:37,728
with President Sharza's
government and the Taliban.

502
00:19:37,752 --> 00:19:40,965
Well, that contradicts the information

503
00:19:40,989 --> 00:19:43,367
the State Department received.

504
00:19:43,391 --> 00:19:46,203
Honor killings are reported
to be significantly down.

505
00:19:46,227 --> 00:19:47,738
It was a benchmark

506
00:19:47,762 --> 00:19:50,441
that the Afghan government had to meet

507
00:19:50,465 --> 00:19:52,309
in order to qualify
for the aid package.

508
00:19:52,333 --> 00:19:54,078
The Rebuild-Renew Agreement.
I am aware.

509
00:19:54,102 --> 00:19:55,579
How do you get your information?

510
00:19:55,603 --> 00:19:59,717
I work with an organization that
tracks women's social issues.

511
00:19:59,741 --> 00:20:02,253
We have government contacts and NGOs

512
00:20:02,277 --> 00:20:05,122
on the ground who keep us informed.

513
00:20:05,146 --> 00:20:08,359
So you know that this agreement
could be monumental

514
00:20:08,383 --> 00:20:09,916
for both our countries.

515
00:20:14,022 --> 00:20:17,935
Keeping Farhana at the embassy,

516
00:20:17,959 --> 00:20:20,771
I'm afraid that we are putting
the deal in jeopardy.

517
00:20:20,795 --> 00:20:22,273
On the other hand, letting her go...

518
00:20:22,297 --> 00:20:24,308
Could cost her her life.

519
00:20:24,332 --> 00:20:26,043
Sorry to interrupt, ma'am,

520
00:20:26,067 --> 00:20:28,279
but President Sharza is asking
to see you immediately.

521
00:20:28,303 --> 00:20:30,514
You can't just take one

522
00:20:30,538 --> 00:20:32,850
of my governor's nieces
and lock her up in the embassy.

523
00:20:32,874 --> 00:20:34,218
This will not stand, Madam Secretary.

524
00:20:34,242 --> 00:20:36,820
First of all, we didn't take her.

525
00:20:36,844 --> 00:20:40,724
Farhana Radi came to us
asking for protection

526
00:20:40,748 --> 00:20:42,126
from an honor killing,

527
00:20:42,150 --> 00:20:44,628
a practice that is outlawed
in your country.

528
00:20:44,652 --> 00:20:47,698
Yes. It is easy to be disgusted
by such a barbaric practice.

529
00:20:47,722 --> 00:20:51,035
We have made progress,
but it's a strenuous process.

530
00:20:51,059 --> 00:20:53,971
I'm aware of that.
But isn't, isn't this

531
00:20:53,995 --> 00:20:57,274
the perfect opportunity
to take a strong stand?

532
00:20:57,298 --> 00:21:00,277
Hardly. I'm fighting day
and night to hold together

533
00:21:00,301 --> 00:21:01,478
the deal you brokered

534
00:21:01,502 --> 00:21:04,615
having the Taliban as
part of my government.

535
00:21:04,639 --> 00:21:06,450
Your actions with this girl put me

536
00:21:06,474 --> 00:21:08,652
and my government
in a precarious position.

537
00:21:08,676 --> 00:21:10,087
And we are working on a solution.

538
00:21:10,111 --> 00:21:11,522
There is no time.

539
00:21:11,546 --> 00:21:13,957
The story of the U.S.
Secretary of State

540
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:16,093
allowing one of her staff
to kidnap an Afghan girl

541
00:21:16,117 --> 00:21:17,361
and keep her in the embassy

542
00:21:17,385 --> 00:21:19,530
is all over the news.

543
00:21:19,554 --> 00:21:22,232
And until this catastrophe
is resolved,

544
00:21:22,256 --> 00:21:25,169
consider the entire
Rebuild-Renew Agreement on hold.

545
00:21:25,193 --> 00:21:29,740
Mr. President,
I urge you to reconsider.

546
00:21:29,764 --> 00:21:31,809
This agreement is the solution

547
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:34,712
to so many problems
for both our countries.

548
00:21:34,736 --> 00:21:38,349
Not to mention you'd be walking
away from $10 billion

549
00:21:38,373 --> 00:21:40,417
in economic aid.

550
00:21:40,441 --> 00:21:43,387
If you don't release
the girl to her family,

551
00:21:43,411 --> 00:21:45,122
the Taliban will seize the moment

552
00:21:45,146 --> 00:21:46,990
and paint a picture
of my government as weak.

553
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:50,527
Then it will be only a matter
of time before they take over.

554
00:21:50,551 --> 00:21:51,895
Then what will happen?

555
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:54,565
We will end up once again
mired in war and terrorism,

556
00:21:54,589 --> 00:21:56,790
and I cannot allow that.

557
00:22:01,912 --> 00:22:04,438
_

558
00:22:04,768 --> 00:22:06,794
_

559
00:22:06,818 --> 00:22:07,795
Amina was right.

560
00:22:07,819 --> 00:22:09,163
While Afghanistan has improved

561
00:22:09,187 --> 00:22:11,332
its numbers in terms
of verified honor killings,

562
00:22:11,356 --> 00:22:13,568
the true numbers are underreported.

563
00:22:13,592 --> 00:22:15,002
I got in touch with some contacts

564
00:22:15,026 --> 00:22:18,206
on the ground there...
NGOs and medical examiners...

565
00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:20,875
and the truth is,
the Afghan government gathers

566
00:22:20,899 --> 00:22:23,244
its info from police departments
and medical examiners.

567
00:22:23,268 --> 00:22:25,713
And, big surprise,
these government employees

568
00:22:25,737 --> 00:22:27,682
aren't always pressured
to be absolutely accurate

569
00:22:27,706 --> 00:22:29,550
about the cause of death
for many young women.

570
00:22:29,574 --> 00:22:31,819
So, if you release Farhana
and she were to die

571
00:22:31,843 --> 00:22:33,287
at the hands of her family,

572
00:22:33,311 --> 00:22:35,923
there's a good chance it'll
be reported as something else.

573
00:22:35,947 --> 00:22:39,506
Right. Thank you, guys.

574
00:22:39,530 --> 00:22:41,346
- Sure thing, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

575
00:22:48,275 --> 00:22:51,775
Thank you for meeting with me, Mr. Radi.

576
00:22:56,501 --> 00:22:57,812
Thank you both.

577
00:22:57,836 --> 00:23:02,606
Um... I am incredibly grateful
for the opportunity.

578
00:23:03,694 --> 00:23:04,794
Thank you both.

579
00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:07,770
I'm incredibly grateful
for the opportunity.

580
00:23:11,650 --> 00:23:13,594
I speak for the Afghan government

581
00:23:13,618 --> 00:23:16,998
as well as for my brother
when I say...

582
00:23:17,022 --> 00:23:18,566
this has gone far enough.

583
00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:21,068
My niece has to be returned

584
00:23:21,092 --> 00:23:22,770
to her father and family immediately.

585
00:23:22,794 --> 00:23:25,840
- Uh, if I may say something?
- Please.

586
00:23:25,864 --> 00:23:29,110
As you know, I was once
minister of education.

587
00:23:29,134 --> 00:23:30,778
I know this young man,
Matthew Mahoney,

588
00:23:30,802 --> 00:23:33,481
quite well from my trips
to United States

589
00:23:33,505 --> 00:23:36,551
and from his work here
with Secretary McCord,

590
00:23:36,575 --> 00:23:39,120
and I can vouch for his character,

591
00:23:39,144 --> 00:23:41,122
as well as the fact that Farhana came

592
00:23:41,146 --> 00:23:44,825
to the United States Embassy
out of fear for her life.

593
00:23:44,849 --> 00:23:47,361
And that is the only reason
that she was allowed to enter.

594
00:23:47,385 --> 00:23:49,730
She is not being kept
against her will.

595
00:23:52,536 --> 00:23:54,365
She is afraid to face her family...

596
00:23:56,067 --> 00:23:58,866
because of that video
with her and this man!

597
00:23:59,898 --> 00:24:02,143
If you will allow Mr. Mahoney
to explain, you will see

598
00:24:02,167 --> 00:24:04,111
how the truth has been manipulated.

599
00:24:04,135 --> 00:24:05,446
There's no need.

600
00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:09,150
We just want to take Farhana
home to her mother,

601
00:24:09,174 --> 00:24:11,586
who's waited all these months
to see her.

602
00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:14,388
She wants to nurse
her daughter back to health.

603
00:24:14,412 --> 00:24:16,857
Her father is angry.

604
00:24:16,881 --> 00:24:19,360
Oh...

605
00:24:19,384 --> 00:24:22,353
But he would not hurt her.

606
00:24:23,822 --> 00:24:26,400
No one would.

607
00:24:26,424 --> 00:24:27,935
We just want to take her home.

608
00:24:27,959 --> 00:24:30,638
Yes, yes, I understand, but please

609
00:24:30,662 --> 00:24:33,731
take a moment to watch and listen.

610
00:24:37,302 --> 00:24:40,214
Now, the reason why the
video is so confusing

611
00:24:40,238 --> 00:24:42,683
is because of what
the narrator is saying.

612
00:24:42,707 --> 00:24:44,619
The girl who is taking the video.

613
00:24:44,643 --> 00:24:49,090
But what she is saying
is not what is happening.

614
00:24:49,114 --> 00:24:51,158
The music makes it seem
romantic, but it's not.

615
00:24:51,182 --> 00:24:53,160
They say it's the little
things that make love bloom,

616
00:24:53,184 --> 00:24:54,228
and this dude knew all...

617
00:24:54,252 --> 00:24:56,787
When I turn the sound down...

618
00:24:58,456 --> 00:25:01,836
...you can see it's
just two people talking.

619
00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:04,472
Three people, actually,
because Leslie, the chaperone,

620
00:25:04,496 --> 00:25:06,674
is just over here,

621
00:25:06,698 --> 00:25:08,465
out of sight.

622
00:25:13,705 --> 00:25:16,384
You explained it very well.
You did a good job.

623
00:25:16,408 --> 00:25:18,719
I think I was talking too fast.
I felt like I was rambling.

624
00:25:18,743 --> 00:25:21,378
I've never had to save
anyone's life before.

625
00:25:22,981 --> 00:25:24,992
Listen.

626
00:25:25,016 --> 00:25:27,228
My brother is a very emotional man,

627
00:25:27,252 --> 00:25:28,796
but he's calmed down now.

628
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:30,865
He's convinced by your explanation

629
00:25:30,889 --> 00:25:32,066
that nothing bad happened.

630
00:25:32,090 --> 00:25:33,534
- Really?
- Yes.

631
00:25:33,558 --> 00:25:37,138
He only requests that you make
a public statement about this,

632
00:25:37,162 --> 00:25:40,007
much as you did here,
so that his family can

633
00:25:40,031 --> 00:25:41,676
defend her honor,

634
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:43,611
and the community will be satisfied.

635
00:25:43,635 --> 00:25:44,812
That can be arranged.

636
00:25:44,836 --> 00:25:46,447
Matt can even record the statement,

637
00:25:46,471 --> 00:25:48,449
and it can be submitted
to the same Facebook page

638
00:25:48,473 --> 00:25:50,318
which posted the video to begin with.

639
00:25:50,342 --> 00:25:54,889
And the Secretary of State
must issue a statement

640
00:25:54,913 --> 00:25:56,157
to this effect as well.

641
00:25:56,181 --> 00:25:57,381
She would be happy to.

642
00:26:00,318 --> 00:26:02,052
This will satisfy my brother.

643
00:26:07,225 --> 00:26:09,370
Farhana.

644
00:26:09,394 --> 00:26:12,106
Great news. I spoke with your family.

645
00:26:12,130 --> 00:26:13,307
They understand what happened now.

646
00:26:13,331 --> 00:26:14,709
This is good.

647
00:26:14,733 --> 00:26:16,010
You're safe to go.

648
00:26:16,034 --> 00:26:18,245
Your father and uncle are coming
to pick you up in an hour.

649
00:26:18,269 --> 00:26:20,748
They said your mom's
really excited to see you.

650
00:26:20,772 --> 00:26:22,817
No. That's not possible.

651
00:26:22,841 --> 00:26:23,818
But it is.

652
00:26:23,842 --> 00:26:25,753
I was there. They believed me.

653
00:26:25,777 --> 00:26:27,110
Uh, it's gonna be okay.

654
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,298
That is my mother.

655
00:26:37,322 --> 00:26:39,567
Just now.

656
00:26:39,591 --> 00:26:42,670
She said, "Don't come home.

657
00:26:42,694 --> 00:26:44,695
They will kill you."

658
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:53,993
A 17-year-old girl.
I mean, it's excruciating

659
00:26:53,994 --> 00:26:57,139
to see her in terror
of the people she loves.

660
00:26:57,163 --> 00:26:59,442
It's medieval.

661
00:26:59,466 --> 00:27:00,810
Well, not entirely.

662
00:27:00,834 --> 00:27:02,445
There's the Napoleonic Code,

663
00:27:02,469 --> 00:27:04,847
which allowed husbands to murder
their unfaithful wives.

664
00:27:04,871 --> 00:27:09,385
That wasn't abolished in France
until 1975.

665
00:27:09,409 --> 00:27:13,055
Modernization is a sluggish train.

666
00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:14,957
Yeah. To some cultures,
it's the enemy.

667
00:27:14,981 --> 00:27:17,827
They see the rest of us
as having sold our souls

668
00:27:17,851 --> 00:27:21,364
to technology
and wanton creature comforts.

669
00:27:21,388 --> 00:27:24,000
Well... I have to figure out

670
00:27:24,024 --> 00:27:26,202
how to bolster the faction
of this government

671
00:27:26,226 --> 00:27:29,038
that sees it as the key
to moving forward.

672
00:27:29,062 --> 00:27:31,574
Otherwise,
the Taliban is gonna take over

673
00:27:31,598 --> 00:27:34,644
and start exporting terrorism again

674
00:27:34,668 --> 00:27:36,612
with the U.S. as its main target.

675
00:27:36,636 --> 00:27:38,447
- Is that the doorbell?
- Yeah.

676
00:27:38,471 --> 00:27:41,617
The belly dancers are here.

677
00:27:41,641 --> 00:27:44,620
All right, thanks for talking.
I love you.

678
00:27:44,644 --> 00:27:46,679
Love you, too. Bye.

679
00:27:52,352 --> 00:27:54,530
Man, you were so right.

680
00:27:54,554 --> 00:27:56,232
Religion?

681
00:27:56,256 --> 00:27:59,235
Definitely not the problem.

682
00:27:59,259 --> 00:28:03,172
"He must increase,
but I must decrease."

683
00:28:03,196 --> 00:28:05,308
I wear the bracelet,

684
00:28:05,332 --> 00:28:07,310
but the lesson of humility

685
00:28:07,334 --> 00:28:09,178
sometimes eludes me.

686
00:28:09,202 --> 00:28:10,346
Tell me about it.

687
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:11,614
You're talking to a fighter pilot.

688
00:28:11,638 --> 00:28:16,252
There were days when I thought
pretty highly of myself.

689
00:28:16,276 --> 00:28:18,854
Yeah. Well, when I'm working,

690
00:28:18,878 --> 00:28:21,924
I have to be confident and in charge.

691
00:28:21,948 --> 00:28:26,195
It seems I don't always
successfully tone that down

692
00:28:26,219 --> 00:28:27,863
when I walk in my front door.

693
00:28:27,887 --> 00:28:29,265
Oh, yeah.

694
00:28:29,289 --> 00:28:30,600
Transition between professional life

695
00:28:30,624 --> 00:28:35,160
and home life can be... bumpy.

696
00:28:36,162 --> 00:28:37,873
Yeah.

697
00:28:37,897 --> 00:28:38,874
You know,

698
00:28:38,898 --> 00:28:40,610
the Romans, of all people,

699
00:28:40,634 --> 00:28:42,845
had a pretty good recipe
for checking the ego.

700
00:28:42,869 --> 00:28:44,213
After military victories,

701
00:28:44,237 --> 00:28:46,549
they would parade generals
through the streets in chariots

702
00:28:46,573 --> 00:28:47,917
with a slave standing behind them,

703
00:28:47,941 --> 00:28:49,552
holding a golden crown
over their head,

704
00:28:49,576 --> 00:28:52,421
all the while whispering
into the hero's ear,

705
00:28:52,445 --> 00:28:55,958
"Remember, you are mortal."

706
00:28:55,982 --> 00:28:59,695
Oh, that is good.

707
00:28:59,719 --> 00:29:02,688
I'll try to remember that
for my next marriage.

708
00:29:04,324 --> 00:29:07,103
Yeah, turns out she's not
interested in counseling.

709
00:29:07,127 --> 00:29:10,806
She's interested in
getting me the hell out.

710
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:13,776
Oh, God, I... I'm so sorry.

711
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,045
Well, maybe she just needs time.

712
00:29:16,069 --> 00:29:17,213
No.

713
00:29:17,237 --> 00:29:18,648
Listen, I-I get it.

714
00:29:18,672 --> 00:29:21,150
It's-it's the right course
of action right now.

715
00:29:21,174 --> 00:29:22,418
We need to...

716
00:29:22,442 --> 00:29:25,921
need to get Annie out
of the middle of all this.

717
00:29:25,945 --> 00:29:27,990
How's she doing?

718
00:29:28,014 --> 00:29:31,227
Well, she's not happy.

719
00:29:31,251 --> 00:29:33,629
But she knows she'll see me every day.

720
00:29:33,653 --> 00:29:35,364
I'm-I'm taking her to school
in the morning.

721
00:29:35,388 --> 00:29:37,700
And by the time I left,

722
00:29:37,724 --> 00:29:40,703
Sophie and I were, were already
being nicer to each other,

723
00:29:40,727 --> 00:29:44,140
just knowing there was even
a temporary solution.

724
00:29:44,164 --> 00:29:46,676
By the way, uh, I'll only need
a place to stay tonight.

725
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:49,045
- I'll, I'll find a hotel tomorrow.
- No.

726
00:29:49,069 --> 00:29:50,946
- You'll stay here as long as you need to.
- But...

727
00:29:50,970 --> 00:29:53,015
Wow.

728
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:55,685
- Shouldn't you run that by El jefe?
- I'm channeling her.

729
00:29:55,709 --> 00:29:58,821
Trust me,
if I let you check into a hotel,

730
00:29:58,845 --> 00:30:00,723
I'll be checking in right behind you.

731
00:30:00,747 --> 00:30:02,781
Thanks.

732
00:30:06,419 --> 00:30:10,900
Is there perhaps a room where
she won't be able to find me?

733
00:30:12,926 --> 00:30:16,505
President Sharza put a clock on it.

734
00:30:16,529 --> 00:30:20,776
If we don't hand Farhana over
to her family by midnight,

735
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,845
the agreement is off the table.

736
00:30:22,869 --> 00:30:24,413
The Taliban is flexing,

737
00:30:24,437 --> 00:30:26,382
and Sharza can't stand up to them.

738
00:30:26,406 --> 00:30:28,484
Well, he can't afford to.

739
00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:31,220
Public outcry will only embolden them

740
00:30:31,244 --> 00:30:34,623
to make a play for control
of the government.

741
00:30:36,783 --> 00:30:40,796
Sharza says that Farhana
will be safe with her family.

742
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:43,232
He has her uncle's word.

743
00:30:43,256 --> 00:30:46,035
What's that worth?

744
00:30:46,059 --> 00:30:48,437
I have no idea.

745
00:30:48,461 --> 00:30:51,874
With all the publicity,
there will be a lot of eyes

746
00:30:51,898 --> 00:30:53,642
on Farhana and the Radi family.

747
00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:55,778
They can't very well kill her
when everyone's watching them.

748
00:30:55,802 --> 00:30:59,338
No, they'd have to wait
at least a news cycle.

749
00:31:00,340 --> 00:31:03,319
How can I send her back to her family

750
00:31:03,343 --> 00:31:06,288
when her own mother says
that they want to kill her?

751
00:31:06,312 --> 00:31:09,492
Madam Secretary, we need to get
you and Mr. Whitman secured

752
00:31:09,516 --> 00:31:11,193
- in the embassy's bunker immediately.
- What's going on?

753
00:31:11,217 --> 00:31:12,862
- What happened? What happened?
- It's just a precaution.

754
00:31:12,886 --> 00:31:14,930
Well...

755
00:31:18,491 --> 00:31:20,770
What's going on?

756
00:31:20,794 --> 00:31:23,272
A mortar hit
just outside the perimeter

757
00:31:23,296 --> 00:31:25,040
of the RSM base north of the city.

758
00:31:25,064 --> 00:31:27,510
Launched by Salafi jihadists.

759
00:31:27,534 --> 00:31:29,745
Three marines were badly injured.

760
00:31:29,769 --> 00:31:32,715
And it's all about the girl
you're keeping in here.

761
00:31:32,739 --> 00:31:34,383
We're not keeping her.

762
00:31:34,407 --> 00:31:37,153
We're providing temporary sanctuary.

763
00:31:37,177 --> 00:31:39,088
Well, that sanctuary
is not only jeopardizing

764
00:31:39,112 --> 00:31:41,190
our whole agreement
with the Afghan government,

765
00:31:41,214 --> 00:31:43,192
it's about to get more
of our troops killed.

766
00:31:43,216 --> 00:31:46,228
You can't save every
woman in Afghanistan.

767
00:31:46,252 --> 00:31:47,128
I'm not trying to save every...

768
00:31:47,152 --> 00:31:48,497
This girl is a victim
of her own culture.

769
00:31:48,521 --> 00:31:50,466
And that's not
what we're here to address.

770
00:31:50,490 --> 00:31:54,370
And now the Afghan government
has met all our criteria.

771
00:31:54,394 --> 00:31:56,739
We're steps away
from getting out of this mess,

772
00:31:56,763 --> 00:32:00,075
and you want to throw
it all away based on principle.

773
00:32:00,099 --> 00:32:02,344
We have a moral obligation to...

774
00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:03,579
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you something.

775
00:32:03,603 --> 00:32:05,181
Let me tell you what I think
this is really about.

776
00:32:05,205 --> 00:32:08,384
This is about you letting
your judgment become clouded

777
00:32:08,408 --> 00:32:11,287
over the guilt you feel
because of the concessions

778
00:32:11,311 --> 00:32:13,245
you made to get here.

779
00:32:15,515 --> 00:32:17,626
It was never a perfect deal.

780
00:32:17,650 --> 00:32:19,662
I said that from the beginning.

781
00:32:19,686 --> 00:32:22,164
But it was always a better alternative

782
00:32:22,188 --> 00:32:24,867
to an all-out ground
war with the Taliban.

783
00:32:24,891 --> 00:32:26,135
And with that better alternative,

784
00:32:26,159 --> 00:32:28,237
you knew there'd be collateral damage

785
00:32:28,261 --> 00:32:29,438
to Afghan women.

786
00:32:29,462 --> 00:32:32,274
So, this girl now is a symbol?

787
00:32:32,298 --> 00:32:34,066
A gesture, an apology for you?

788
00:32:35,368 --> 00:32:37,146
American service people

789
00:32:37,170 --> 00:32:39,738
do not deserve to die for this girl.

790
00:32:42,375 --> 00:32:44,553
You need to turn her
back over to her family.

791
00:32:44,577 --> 00:32:46,712
And let's get this agreement
back on track.

792
00:32:47,714 --> 00:32:49,581
We need to get our troops home.

793
00:32:55,088 --> 00:32:56,755
I heard about the marines.

794
00:32:59,792 --> 00:33:02,504
We've reached the end of
the road with Farhana.

795
00:33:02,528 --> 00:33:06,742
I... we can't put any more
American lives at risk.

796
00:33:06,766 --> 00:33:08,644
Not to mention the deal
we're here to make.

797
00:33:08,668 --> 00:33:10,212
I understand.

798
00:33:10,236 --> 00:33:11,847
No, the loss of this deal

799
00:33:11,871 --> 00:33:13,749
could topple the government
and put my country

800
00:33:13,773 --> 00:33:16,418
squarely under the thumb
of the Taliban.

801
00:33:16,442 --> 00:33:19,722
And then... who knows
how many will be killed?

802
00:33:19,746 --> 00:33:21,190
At least, if Farhana wanted asylum,

803
00:33:21,214 --> 00:33:23,759
no one could accuse us
of keeping her against her will.

804
00:33:23,783 --> 00:33:25,594
No, she still insists
she doesn't want it,

805
00:33:25,618 --> 00:33:27,663
- this is her home.
- Well, then,

806
00:33:27,687 --> 00:33:29,331
I can't justify this
situation any longer.

807
00:33:29,355 --> 00:33:31,567
I...

808
00:33:31,591 --> 00:33:33,235
I'm out of moves.

809
00:33:33,259 --> 00:33:34,970
I mean, uh, I mean, anything you got,

810
00:33:34,994 --> 00:33:37,139
I'm open, I...

811
00:33:37,163 --> 00:33:39,008
That...

812
00:33:39,032 --> 00:33:41,543
keeps me from sending
this girl to her death.

813
00:33:41,567 --> 00:33:43,402
All right.

814
00:33:45,738 --> 00:33:47,650
You may not like it.

815
00:33:47,674 --> 00:33:49,808
But you did say anything.

816
00:33:57,094 --> 00:34:00,285
Demonstrators in front
of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul

817
00:34:00,286 --> 00:34:02,497
were dispersed by local police today

818
00:34:02,521 --> 00:34:04,166
in the aftermath of a mortar attack.

819
00:34:04,190 --> 00:34:05,434
Are you serious?

820
00:34:05,458 --> 00:34:07,102
The mortar was apparently...

821
00:34:07,126 --> 00:34:09,204
An arranged marriage?
This is the, the best

822
00:34:09,228 --> 00:34:11,106
the United States of America can do?

823
00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:12,874
Well, it's the best
the United States can do

824
00:34:12,898 --> 00:34:14,276
in Afghanistan. Matt, the guy's older

825
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:16,311
and of higher status
than Farhana's family.

826
00:34:16,335 --> 00:34:18,814
It's a big plus... He's 20 years older.
He's got two small children.

827
00:34:18,838 --> 00:34:21,983
And what? Farhana's just
supposed to be his slave now?

828
00:34:22,007 --> 00:34:25,220
You know? Stuck in his house,
raising his kids?

829
00:34:25,244 --> 00:34:27,689
- She's 17 years old.
- Unfortunately,

830
00:34:27,713 --> 00:34:30,992
Afghan law gives the age
of consent as 16 for girls.

831
00:34:31,016 --> 00:34:33,762
- As does Alabama, Connecticut, Montana.
- Yeah, the difference is,

832
00:34:33,786 --> 00:34:35,464
uh, girls from Alabama
won't get murdered

833
00:34:35,488 --> 00:34:37,432
by their families
if they refuse to get married.

834
00:34:37,456 --> 00:34:39,167
It's not so out of the norm here.

835
00:34:39,191 --> 00:34:41,670
57% of girls are married
before they turn 19.

836
00:34:41,694 --> 00:34:43,472
You can't compare their customs
to what we know.

837
00:34:43,496 --> 00:34:46,231
Don't you have a daughter?!
Don't you have a daughter?!

838
00:34:49,168 --> 00:34:52,948
Look, 50 years ago,
my mom left Pakistan,

839
00:34:52,972 --> 00:34:54,616
and one of the main reasons
she chose to go

840
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,120
was to avoid an arranged marriage.

841
00:34:58,144 --> 00:35:00,322
50 years ago.

842
00:35:00,346 --> 00:35:02,557
This is still happening.

843
00:35:04,316 --> 00:35:05,694
What do you think Farhana wants?

844
00:35:05,718 --> 00:35:07,362
- What she wants is to live, okay?
- Yes.

845
00:35:07,386 --> 00:35:09,498
And be accepted
by her family, and I'm sorry,

846
00:35:09,522 --> 00:35:11,266
- but this accomplishes both.
- They can kill her anyway,

847
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:12,567
and you know that.

848
00:35:12,591 --> 00:35:15,203
I mean, anything can
happen when we leave.

849
00:35:15,227 --> 00:35:18,240
Where's the secretary? I
want... I want to talk to her.

850
00:35:18,264 --> 00:35:19,608
Hey, Matt, it's over.

851
00:35:19,632 --> 00:35:20,909
M-Sec's in there with
President Sharza right now

852
00:35:20,933 --> 00:35:22,344
trying to get this deal back on track.

853
00:35:22,368 --> 00:35:24,880
She's telling him
that Farhana's gone back...

854
00:35:24,904 --> 00:35:26,803
Wait, wait, no, no.
Far-Farhana's already gone?

855
00:35:26,827 --> 00:35:28,040
She just left.

856
00:35:31,610 --> 00:35:33,922
Farhana. Farhana.

857
00:35:35,781 --> 00:35:37,692
I'm sorry.

858
00:35:37,716 --> 00:35:39,661
I just...

859
00:35:39,685 --> 00:35:41,663
It is God's will.

860
00:35:41,687 --> 00:35:43,432
My parents say this is a good man,

861
00:35:43,456 --> 00:35:46,291
and... it could be a good life for me.

862
00:35:50,763 --> 00:35:52,007
I just wish...

863
00:35:52,031 --> 00:35:55,310
Farhana? Come, your
family is arriving.

864
00:35:55,334 --> 00:35:57,368
Goodbye, Matt Mahoney.

865
00:36:36,850 --> 00:36:40,050
The wire transfer of the
bride price was completed.

866
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,100
Would you like to tell the groom?

867
00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:43,125
I will.

868
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,100
It was very generous of your organization
to pay the groom fee for us.

869
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,000
We just want your daughter to be safe.

870
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,800
I gave you my word.

871
00:37:15,514 --> 00:37:18,994
You're smiling.

872
00:37:19,018 --> 00:37:20,862
I hope not ironically.

873
00:37:20,886 --> 00:37:23,965
I could genuinely use
some good news right now.

874
00:37:23,989 --> 00:37:25,901
The Afghan government
has agreed to shore up

875
00:37:25,925 --> 00:37:27,369
the Violence Against Women law

876
00:37:27,393 --> 00:37:29,804
and they have invited
Amina Salah to be

877
00:37:29,828 --> 00:37:33,174
part of an independent
watchdog group...

878
00:37:33,198 --> 00:37:34,809
to advise and inform them.

879
00:37:34,833 --> 00:37:36,834
Oh, good.

880
00:37:39,371 --> 00:37:41,439
An independent watchdog group.

881
00:37:42,741 --> 00:37:45,754
Just to make sure no one
gets the mistaken notion

882
00:37:45,778 --> 00:37:47,756
that an intelligent, qualified woman

883
00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:49,224
is in their government. Again.

884
00:37:49,248 --> 00:37:51,026
Look who's being ironic.

885
00:37:51,050 --> 00:37:54,095
I feel like we take turns.

886
00:38:06,999 --> 00:38:09,878
We are here to announce
that with the signing

887
00:38:09,902 --> 00:38:14,215
of the Afghan-United States
Rebuild-Renew Agreement,

888
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,552
the United States
will immediately begin

889
00:38:17,576 --> 00:38:19,177
troop withdrawal.

890
00:38:24,516 --> 00:38:26,528
Anybody home?

891
00:38:26,552 --> 00:38:28,019
In here.

892
00:38:29,822 --> 00:38:31,422
Surprise.

893
00:38:38,731 --> 00:38:40,241
Henry told me.

894
00:38:40,265 --> 00:38:41,799
How was Afghanistan?

895
00:38:44,069 --> 00:38:45,914
Harrowing.

896
00:38:45,938 --> 00:38:48,049
Speaking of...

897
00:38:48,073 --> 00:38:50,251
have you looked in the mirror lately?

898
00:38:50,275 --> 00:38:52,020
Oh, ho-ho-ho.

899
00:38:52,044 --> 00:38:54,155
If the name of the game
is beat up on Will,

900
00:38:54,179 --> 00:38:56,581
- I'm way ahead of you.
- I didn't mean it like that.

901
00:38:58,550 --> 00:39:00,651
Just worried about you.

902
00:39:01,654 --> 00:39:04,599
And disappointed in me.

903
00:39:04,623 --> 00:39:06,134
No.

904
00:39:06,158 --> 00:39:08,403
- No?
- Come on.

905
00:39:08,427 --> 00:39:10,071
I'm...

906
00:39:10,095 --> 00:39:13,208
Just... talk to me.

907
00:39:13,232 --> 00:39:16,978
I'm not gonna... scold.

908
00:39:18,604 --> 00:39:20,949
What the hell did I know

909
00:39:20,973 --> 00:39:23,652
about how to be married?

910
00:39:23,676 --> 00:39:26,655
I was 13 when my role models died.

911
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:29,257
It-it just...

912
00:39:29,281 --> 00:39:30,992
it just looked like

913
00:39:31,016 --> 00:39:33,395
you find someone
who doesn't drive you crazy,

914
00:39:33,419 --> 00:39:35,430
and then you have dinner,

915
00:39:35,454 --> 00:39:39,334
talk about work, watch TV.

916
00:39:39,358 --> 00:39:42,137
Or you-you play Scrabble.

917
00:39:42,161 --> 00:39:44,929
Sometimes go on vacations. They...

918
00:39:45,931 --> 00:39:49,010
...they made it look easy,

919
00:39:49,034 --> 00:39:51,212
I guess, and...

920
00:39:51,236 --> 00:39:54,616
the minute my marriage wasn't easy,

921
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,119
I-I thought
I was doing it wrong, or...

922
00:39:58,143 --> 00:40:00,488
she was.

923
00:40:00,512 --> 00:40:03,014
They fought plenty.

924
00:40:04,016 --> 00:40:05,427
- Uh-huh.
- Sure.

925
00:40:05,451 --> 00:40:06,661
Come on.

926
00:40:06,685 --> 00:40:09,531
Mm, nothing serious.

927
00:40:09,555 --> 00:40:12,467
Who forgot to get the bread.

928
00:40:12,491 --> 00:40:15,203
Who left the lights on.

929
00:40:15,227 --> 00:40:18,406
Why are your parents visiting again?

930
00:40:18,430 --> 00:40:20,731
Will.

931
00:40:22,601 --> 00:40:25,947
You were younger, so you
idealized them more.

932
00:40:25,971 --> 00:40:28,383
Or paid less attention.

933
00:40:28,407 --> 00:40:30,719
Well, you figured it out.

934
00:40:30,743 --> 00:40:31,886
Somehow.

935
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:33,354
Henry and I

936
00:40:33,378 --> 00:40:35,356
often joke that we were fixed up

937
00:40:35,380 --> 00:40:38,293
by a couple of romantic idiots
in their 20s.

938
00:40:38,317 --> 00:40:40,061
Happened to work.

939
00:40:40,085 --> 00:40:41,963
That's because you work at it.

940
00:40:41,987 --> 00:40:43,198
That, too.

941
00:40:43,222 --> 00:40:44,866
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

942
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,105
I don't know, Will.

943
00:40:50,129 --> 00:40:51,573
Marriage is...

944
00:40:51,597 --> 00:40:54,075
a mystery.

945
00:40:54,099 --> 00:40:55,376
And a miracle...

946
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,878
- And an ordeal.
- That is

947
00:40:56,902 --> 00:40:59,748
- exactly what Henry says.
- Right.

948
00:40:59,772 --> 00:41:02,974
- You guys did do some bonding.
- We did, yeah.

949
00:41:03,976 --> 00:41:06,510
Listen, I'm sorry if I...

950
00:41:08,247 --> 00:41:10,225
...parent you.

951
00:41:10,249 --> 00:41:12,761
It's not my job anymore,

952
00:41:12,785 --> 00:41:15,152
and I'm gonna let it go.

953
00:41:16,155 --> 00:41:17,599
Thank you.

954
00:41:17,623 --> 00:41:19,467
You're welcome.

955
00:41:20,893 --> 00:41:22,370
So, where is everybody?

956
00:41:22,394 --> 00:41:23,838
They all went to dinner.

957
00:41:23,862 --> 00:41:25,540
They said they'd bring you back

958
00:41:25,564 --> 00:41:27,108
some lasagna from Mark's.

959
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,944
What are you getting?

960
00:41:29,968 --> 00:41:32,113
Um...

961
00:41:32,137 --> 00:41:34,372
I'm not hungry.

962
00:41:35,874 --> 00:41:37,318
I can't. I can't take it.

963
00:41:37,342 --> 00:41:39,888
I can't just stand here
and watch you waste away.

964
00:41:39,912 --> 00:41:41,756
I'm gonna make eggs. You like eggs.

965
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:43,458
You... you're doing it.

966
00:41:43,482 --> 00:41:46,361
With cheese, right? Oh. No, please.

967
00:41:46,385 --> 00:41:48,730
At-at least let me.

968
00:41:48,754 --> 00:41:50,832
Here, you... you shouldn't cook.

969
00:41:50,856 --> 00:41:52,300
Oh.

970
00:41:52,324 --> 00:41:53,601
Fine, you can help.

971
00:41:53,625 --> 00:41:55,737
Just don't get any shell in there.

972
00:41:55,761 --> 00:41:57,305
And that is not parental.

973
00:41:57,329 --> 00:41:59,574
It's just advice.

974
00:41:59,598 --> 00:42:02,033
Okay, I'm gonna back off now.

975
00:42:06,471 --> 00:42:08,449
Just happy to have you here.

976
00:42:08,473 --> 00:42:11,676
You can stay with us
as long as you need to.

977
00:42:14,446 --> 00:42:15,980
Thanks.

978
00:42:20,419 --> 00:42:22,024
So, like, how long are we talking?
Just...

979
00:42:22,048 --> 00:42:23,298
Shouldn't be more than a decade.

980
00:42:23,322 --> 00:42:25,166
- Stop.
- Huh?

981
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:27,168
Maybe just a few years.

982
00:42:27,192 --> 00:42:28,837
You've got so much room.

983
00:42:28,861 --> 00:42:30,461
I was thinking Sunday.

984
00:42:30,810 --> 00:42:36,910
