1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,685
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

2
00:00:01,768 --> 00:00:03,687
Did you and Damian
break into a storage unit?

3
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:04,813
Yeah.

4
00:00:04,897 --> 00:00:06,982
I can't run interference for someone
who works for another government.

5
00:00:07,649 --> 00:00:09,401
- Wells.
- No. I'm gonna walk you out.

6
00:00:09,484 --> 00:00:10,861
I'm touched.

7
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:13,405
You find it plausible
that a contractor

8
00:00:13,488 --> 00:00:16,074
would think that my mother
was the right person to bribe?

9
00:00:16,158 --> 00:00:18,744
- We have circumstantial evidence.
- That my mother is a criminal?

10
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:20,829
Did you accept a bribe?

11
00:00:20,913 --> 00:00:21,747
Yes.

12
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:24,249
It's a 30-year-old transgression
that your mom made

13
00:00:24,333 --> 00:00:26,752
in an effort to save her husband.
People will understand that.

14
00:00:26,835 --> 00:00:29,546
It's an FBI subpoena.
It's for your mother.

15
00:00:36,178 --> 00:00:40,182
The scourge of gun violence
afflicts millions.

16
00:00:40,265 --> 00:00:44,895
And nation-states that sit idly by
while their citizens traffic in this evil

17
00:00:44,978 --> 00:00:47,189
aren't merely complicit.

18
00:00:47,272 --> 00:00:50,359
They're agents,
merchants of death.

19
00:00:58,617 --> 00:00:59,826
Hello?

20
00:01:01,078 --> 00:01:02,412
Is someone there?

21
00:01:13,423 --> 00:01:15,884
Up the wing. Up the wing.
He's offside! He's offside!

22
00:01:15,968 --> 00:01:16,885
Watch it. Watch it.

23
00:01:20,597 --> 00:01:21,848
Take the shot!

24
00:01:22,808 --> 00:01:23,809
Over here! Over here!

25
00:01:23,892 --> 00:01:25,352
Check! Check him!

26
00:01:26,645 --> 00:01:27,521
- Oh!
- Oh!

27
00:01:27,604 --> 00:01:29,064
Are you all right, sir?

28
00:01:29,856 --> 00:01:31,775
That's the best you got, Senator?

29
00:01:31,858 --> 00:01:34,611
I thought they bred hockey players
up there in Minnesota.

30
00:01:36,571 --> 00:01:37,572
Center!

31
00:01:38,156 --> 00:01:39,116
Right here.

32
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:40,117
All right, pass it.

33
00:01:42,619 --> 00:01:45,122
My point is that this financial scam
didn't just hit the rich.

34
00:01:45,205 --> 00:01:47,916
It wiped out hundreds of thousands
of state employee pensions.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,295
$8 billion in savings,
gone, up in smoke.

36
00:01:51,378 --> 00:01:53,380
You want me to support
your pension bailout bill.

37
00:01:53,463 --> 00:01:57,092
But my party does not believe in bailouts.
We believe in individual responsibility.

38
00:01:57,175 --> 00:01:59,469
Until it's time to bail out
Wall Street and the banks.

39
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:01,305
Then the Republicans are all for it.

40
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:05,058
You have a sponsor for the bill.
A Democratic sponsor.

41
00:02:05,142 --> 00:02:08,228
We need bipartisan support
to get it across the finish line.

42
00:02:08,312 --> 00:02:09,938
Come on, Alan.
That's why we're here.

43
00:02:10,022 --> 00:02:11,857
Government exists to help people
who can't help themselves.

44
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:13,358
That is not government, sir.

45
00:02:13,442 --> 00:02:15,027
- That i-is charity.
- Fine.

46
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:18,113
Then I'll make a stipulation that
the American people are suckers.

47
00:02:18,196 --> 00:02:20,949
Come on, how long have we been
playing hockey together... three years?

48
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:24,494
I've never even asked you
to cross-check someone for me.

49
00:02:24,578 --> 00:02:27,456
I understand. But, sir, this...
this is a big ask.

50
00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:30,542
Then don't do it for me.
Do it for your own conscience.

51
00:02:31,668 --> 00:02:35,464
Barton Cushing's swindle is gonna cost
the American people $31 billion.

52
00:02:35,547 --> 00:02:37,716
We're facing a potential run
on the banks.

53
00:02:37,799 --> 00:02:39,718
Markets are teetering on free-fall.

54
00:02:39,801 --> 00:02:41,303
If we don't shore up
consumer confidence,

55
00:02:41,386 --> 00:02:43,555
we might as well just jump
headfirst into the abyss.

56
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:49,144
- I'll run it up the flagpole.
- Thank you. I appreciate it.

57
00:02:49,227 --> 00:02:51,063
- Yes, sir.
- Good game.

58
00:02:51,146 --> 00:02:52,272
Good game, sir.

59
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:59,071
Sir, a member of Parliament
was just murdered in Rock Creek Park.

60
00:02:59,154 --> 00:03:00,655
I have the British Prime Minister for you.

61
00:03:03,075 --> 00:03:04,284
Madam Prime Minister...

62
00:03:05,243 --> 00:03:08,205
Why was a Member of Parliament
jogging in Rock Creek Park this morning?

63
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:10,665
Charlotte Thorn was the British rep
at this week's G-20 conference.

64
00:03:10,749 --> 00:03:12,459
They were touting her as a future P.M.

65
00:03:12,542 --> 00:03:13,835
What do we know about this?

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,170
Well, right now, not much.

67
00:03:15,253 --> 00:03:17,005
One to the head
while she was jogging.

68
00:03:17,089 --> 00:03:18,757
D.C. Metro says
there's no witnesses.

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,675
- Did she have any enemies?
- Oh, plenty.

70
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:22,135
She was outspoken on everything,

71
00:03:22,219 --> 00:03:25,263
from women's rights to illegal arms
dealing to corporate responsibility.

72
00:03:25,347 --> 00:03:26,473
You name it.

73
00:03:26,556 --> 00:03:28,392
Well, we're already fielding calls
about safety concerns

74
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:30,060
from jumpy foreign leaders
that are threatening

75
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:31,686
to pull out of the G-20 conference.

76
00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:33,688
No. That can't happen.
Not when the Kirkman agenda

77
00:03:33,772 --> 00:03:35,565
is to take a bigger role
on the international stage

78
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:38,485
with the IMF, the environment,
arms control. We need this.

79
00:03:38,568 --> 00:03:40,070
- All right, I'll keep you posted.
- Thank you.

80
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:42,781
Well, 10 Downing's all over this.
They want their best guy on it.

81
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:49,037
I know.

82
00:03:49,121 --> 00:03:50,372
You're speechless.

83
00:03:50,455 --> 00:03:52,916
Just take a moment, you know,
gather your thoughts,

84
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:54,709
and when you work out
what you're gonna say...

85
00:03:54,793 --> 00:03:57,003
- You again?
- Such a wordsmith.

86
00:03:57,587 --> 00:04:00,507
So, it turns out you're only persona
non grata on this side of the pond

87
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:04,052
until they need your expertise.
Chuck over there has been sharing his.

88
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:06,638
Yeah.

89
00:04:06,721 --> 00:04:09,808
Thorn's upcoming speech to the G-20
was leaked on the Internet.

90
00:04:12,978 --> 00:04:14,479
Wow.

91
00:04:14,563 --> 00:04:16,940
She really is going after
illegal arms dealers.

92
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:18,733
And their state sponsors.

93
00:04:18,817 --> 00:04:21,278
- She was going to name names.
- You know, the G-20 summit

94
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:23,488
used to be about global economics.

95
00:04:23,572 --> 00:04:26,116
Now everybody's talking about
gun violence in America.

96
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,951
Well, in England, we're talking about
our brightest candle

97
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:31,329
- being snuffed out in America.
- I just heard from D.C. Metro.

98
00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:33,457
They found a 9 mm shell casing
at the scene.

99
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:35,125
All right, let's start
at the British Embassy.

100
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:38,336
- I got us an appointment there at noon.
- I got us in at 10:00.

101
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:39,754
Tally ho, Agent Wells.

102
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,516
President Dietrich, I assure you,

103
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,352
every attendee will have their own
Secret Service detail now,

104
00:04:54,436 --> 00:04:57,606
and we've widened the presence of
the FBI and the police around the city.

105
00:04:57,689 --> 00:05:00,025
Your delegate has nothing
to worry about.

106
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:03,612
Yes, sir, of course.

107
00:05:03,695 --> 00:05:04,946
I understand.

108
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:06,990
Thank you. Goodbye.

109
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:10,785
I'm sorry about Charlotte Thorn.

110
00:05:10,869 --> 00:05:12,454
I really liked her.

111
00:05:13,872 --> 00:05:15,373
Me, too.

112
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:19,461
Have you made a decision
about a lawyer for your mother?

113
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:22,506
What about McKinley and Bradshaw?

114
00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:24,466
- They're a great firm.
- Their white-collar practice

115
00:05:24,549 --> 00:05:28,094
isn't as big as it used to be, but...
Davenport and Williams?

116
00:05:28,178 --> 00:05:30,013
They got a full acquittal
for Senator Downing.

117
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:32,891
But that place
is a Republican stronghold.

118
00:05:32,974 --> 00:05:35,393
Alex, any one of these firms
will do a great job.

119
00:05:35,477 --> 00:05:36,895
But you know my recommendation.

120
00:05:36,978 --> 00:05:39,397
- Kendra Daynes.
- Present company excluded,

121
00:05:39,481 --> 00:05:41,274
she's the best lawyer I know.

122
00:05:41,358 --> 00:05:43,318
With the added benefit
that she's easy to find.

123
00:05:43,401 --> 00:05:45,779
The way she handled
Hannah's investigation,

124
00:05:45,862 --> 00:05:47,906
it just... it rubbed me the wrong way.

125
00:05:47,989 --> 00:05:49,950
Wasn't it you who once told me
that that's what

126
00:05:50,033 --> 00:05:52,160
a good lawyer's supposed to do:
rub you the wrong way?

127
00:05:52,244 --> 00:05:54,120
That's how you know
they're doing their job?

128
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:56,122
- Ah...
- Sir.

129
00:05:56,206 --> 00:05:58,416
Victims' rights advocate
Alice Roland is here.

130
00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:59,709
Thank you.

131
00:06:00,877 --> 00:06:04,005
Alex, please. Just call her.

132
00:06:06,716 --> 00:06:08,843
- Everybody, please sit.
- Mr. President.

133
00:06:08,927 --> 00:06:10,262
Alice, it's nice to see you again.

134
00:06:10,345 --> 00:06:12,847
We appreciate your meeting
with us again, sir.

135
00:06:12,931 --> 00:06:15,725
- But the people that I represent...
- I know.

136
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:18,645
- They want action, not just words.
- What they want is their money back.

137
00:06:18,728 --> 00:06:21,856
And as long as I'm their advocate,
I don't intend to rest until I get it.

138
00:06:21,940 --> 00:06:24,317
And I share your desire,
which is why I've met with all of you

139
00:06:24,401 --> 00:06:25,777
three times over the last four months.

140
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:27,737
Three times, because
we're not making any progress.

141
00:06:27,821 --> 00:06:30,407
It might not seem like it to you,
but I promise you, we are making progress.

142
00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:31,783
Not fast enough, sir.

143
00:06:31,866 --> 00:06:35,078
The fat cats that got screwed
by Barton Cushing will survive.

144
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:37,706
But the beneficiaries of
the compromised state pension funds,

145
00:06:37,789 --> 00:06:39,916
they need this money to live.

146
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,168
They're teachers, firefighters,
secretaries...

147
00:06:42,252 --> 00:06:45,088
The backbone of America. And I am
trying to get relief for all of them.

148
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:46,965
Trying is not the same as getting.

149
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:50,176
I'm sorry, Mr. President.

150
00:06:50,802 --> 00:06:53,221
These people don't want to work
until they're 75.

151
00:06:53,305 --> 00:06:55,265
They want to be able
to take a vacation,

152
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,934
pay for their healthcare,
enjoy their golden years.

153
00:06:58,018 --> 00:07:00,353
I know you're frustrated. I am, too.

154
00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:02,814
But I need you to trust me.

155
00:07:02,897 --> 00:07:05,191
And we are closer than you think.

156
00:07:08,945 --> 00:07:10,405
So Halloween's just around the corner.

157
00:07:10,488 --> 00:07:12,449
- You know what I don't like?
- Candy?

158
00:07:12,532 --> 00:07:14,743
Tricks. I do like treats, though.

159
00:07:14,826 --> 00:07:16,119
And a great treat
would be confirmation

160
00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:17,537
of the President's slate
of judicial nominees.

161
00:07:17,621 --> 00:07:19,164
I laid the groundwork
for your meeting

162
00:07:19,247 --> 00:07:21,166
with Senator Krantz
from the Judiciary Committee.

163
00:07:21,249 --> 00:07:23,293
- She promised a rubber stamp.
- Good.

164
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:24,919
Hey, Halloween's coming up.

165
00:07:25,003 --> 00:07:26,921
Did she give you
the whole trick or treat spiel?

166
00:07:27,005 --> 00:07:28,506
Yes. She doesn't like tricks.

167
00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:30,925
- No, she doesn't like candy.
- I like candy fine.

168
00:07:31,009 --> 00:07:32,927
No. Only Necco Wafers.
The pink ones.

169
00:07:33,011 --> 00:07:35,138
Okay, Willy Wonka, are you ready
for your auto exec meeting?

170
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:37,307
Yep. Ready to hawk the President's
Clean Air Initiative.

171
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:38,308
- Only one problem.
- What?

172
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,727
- I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
- You're a senior staffer

173
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:43,313
pitching in on the policy side because
we're short-handed. Suck it up.

174
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:44,773
More like I'm gonna blow.

175
00:07:44,856 --> 00:07:46,024
Lyor, did you know that...

176
00:07:46,107 --> 00:07:48,860
If you do the Halloween thing again,
I'll murder you with an axe.

177
00:07:48,943 --> 00:07:51,154
- Bet I know what he's dressing as.
- Dead man walking, actually,

178
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:53,531
which is what we're all gonna be
in five minutes.

179
00:07:53,615 --> 00:07:55,784
- Why?
- Carson Kramer.

180
00:07:55,867 --> 00:07:57,243
We need to find the President.

181
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:00,538
Senator Rouse, I just want
to thank you for joining us.

182
00:08:00,622 --> 00:08:01,873
Of course.

183
00:08:01,956 --> 00:08:03,708
Senator,
you've been highly critical

184
00:08:03,792 --> 00:08:06,628
of what you term
"government handouts."

185
00:08:06,711 --> 00:08:08,797
So, what about
the pension bailout bill?

186
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,465
Another handout.

187
00:08:10,548 --> 00:08:13,593
- But the President's a big proponent.
- Yes.

188
00:08:13,677 --> 00:08:16,096
And, um, to be frank,
I'm not quite sure why.

189
00:08:16,179 --> 00:08:18,640
I met with him to discuss it, and...

190
00:08:19,641 --> 00:08:23,853
he called the American people...
suckers.

191
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:26,189
Excuse me, Senator. He said what?

192
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:27,357
His exact words were,

193
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,650
"I'll make a stipulation

194
00:08:28,733 --> 00:08:31,403
that the American people are suckers."

195
00:08:31,486 --> 00:08:34,698
Wow. It looks like the President's
the one who may need a bailout.

196
00:08:34,781 --> 00:08:37,033
Yes, Carson. I was pretty shocked
when I heard that myself.

197
00:08:37,117 --> 00:08:40,995
That disloyal, treacherous, lying...

198
00:08:41,079 --> 00:08:42,539
He wasn't lying.

199
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:43,957
Sir?

200
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,167
He betrayed my confidence.
He took me out of context.

201
00:08:46,251 --> 00:08:48,044
- But he wasn't lying.
- It doesn't matter.

202
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:50,839
Sir, you have a very distinct brand.

203
00:08:50,922 --> 00:08:52,465
You're Honest Tom.
Man of the people.

204
00:08:52,549 --> 00:08:54,426
- If that's compromised...
- Lyor's right, Mr. President.

205
00:08:54,509 --> 00:08:56,428
This goes to your core identity.
We can't spin this.

206
00:08:56,511 --> 00:08:59,597
Exactly, 'cause it's a middle finger
aimed squarely at your base.

207
00:08:59,681 --> 00:09:01,808
And I don't like to traffic
in overstatement, sir.

208
00:09:01,891 --> 00:09:04,394
If this sticks, it's political Armageddon.

209
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:07,021
Mr. President, you have calls

210
00:09:07,105 --> 00:09:09,315
from the Senate Minority
and Majority Leaders,

211
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,067
the House Speaker,
and the House Minority Leader.

212
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:13,236
The Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.

213
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,697
Put them through.

214
00:09:16,072 --> 00:09:17,574
One at a time, please.

215
00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:32,010
Subtitles by explosiveskull

216
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:37,811
We are working with the British government
to investigate M.P. Thorn's murder.

217
00:09:37,894 --> 00:09:40,605
And we'll have another update for you
as soon as one is warranted. Yes?

218
00:09:40,689 --> 00:09:43,233
- What about Senator Rouse?
- I have no comment about Senator Rouse.

219
00:09:43,317 --> 00:09:44,609
So you're not denying
the President said...

220
00:09:44,693 --> 00:09:45,819
Once again, folks, the conversation

221
00:09:45,902 --> 00:09:48,030
that the President had with Senator Rouse
was a private one.

222
00:09:48,113 --> 00:09:50,240
You know I don't comment
on the President's private conversations.

223
00:09:50,324 --> 00:09:52,200
Meaning you're not
issuing a denial.

224
00:09:52,284 --> 00:09:54,286
How did you just misconstrue
everything I just said?

225
00:09:54,369 --> 00:09:56,621
- How did I misconstrue it?
- You understand misconstruction, Natalie.

226
00:09:56,705 --> 00:09:57,998
- I've read your pieces.
- Come on, Seth.

227
00:09:58,081 --> 00:09:59,833
You got to give us something.

228
00:09:59,916 --> 00:10:02,002
And if you're not commenting
on private conversations,

229
00:10:02,085 --> 00:10:04,421
can you speak as to the follow-up
from Suckergate?

230
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:06,673
Don't call it a gate, Carla.
It's not a gate.

231
00:10:06,757 --> 00:10:09,509
Look, the President's record speaks
for itself in terms of the esteem that

232
00:10:09,593 --> 00:10:12,304
- he holds for the American people.
- Are you saying Senator Rouse is lying?

233
00:10:12,387 --> 00:10:14,890
You can assure your constituents
that word does not reflect

234
00:10:14,973 --> 00:10:18,518
how I feel about them, Mr. Speaker.
Of course. Thank you. Goodbye.

235
00:10:19,895 --> 00:10:21,563
They're calling it
Suckergate, sir.

236
00:10:22,981 --> 00:10:24,608
Suckergate.
There are no good gates.

237
00:10:24,691 --> 00:10:26,234
Not Watergate, not Irangate, not...

238
00:10:26,318 --> 00:10:28,653
I think we should just
go about our business.

239
00:10:28,737 --> 00:10:32,532
All due respect, sir, we can't.
This will have a knock-on effect.

240
00:10:32,616 --> 00:10:34,242
You need to issue a strong denial.

241
00:10:34,326 --> 00:10:36,244
- I can't.
- Yes, sir. You can.

242
00:10:36,328 --> 00:10:38,789
If the President says he didn't say
something, it was never said.

243
00:10:38,872 --> 00:10:41,416
I'm not gonna start fighting distortions
with falsehoods.

244
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:44,044
Besides, you said I had a good reputation
because I was honest.

245
00:10:44,127 --> 00:10:47,631
- Now you want me to start lying?
- Yes, to preserve that reputation.

246
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:50,050
- You heard what you just said, right?
- Sir, I see Lyor's point.

247
00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:52,052
- Our options here are very limited.
- Well, I've got one.

248
00:10:52,135 --> 00:10:54,513
I'll sit down with Senator Rouse.
He's a good and honorable man.

249
00:10:54,596 --> 00:10:56,723
I consider him a friend.
We'll sort this thing out.

250
00:10:56,807 --> 00:10:58,558
- I'll set it up.
- Thank you.

251
00:11:03,188 --> 00:11:05,273
If you'd have told me
he was this honest,

252
00:11:05,357 --> 00:11:07,901
- I never would have taken this job.
- You realize that's bananas, right?

253
00:11:07,984 --> 00:11:09,861
I don't like scruples.
They're impractical.

254
00:11:09,945 --> 00:11:12,114
His scruples are the reason
why everyone in this building

255
00:11:12,197 --> 00:11:15,117
- would have run through a wall for him.
- Tell me that when our agenda's dead

256
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,911
because America thinks the President
is an elitist hypocrite.

257
00:11:19,663 --> 00:11:22,290
Aaron says he'll have an update
on the Thorn investigation shortly.

258
00:11:22,374 --> 00:11:24,835
And, per your request, I moved up
your meeting on judicial appointments

259
00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:26,670
- with Senator Krantz.
- Good. We need a win.

260
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:29,047
- I want to talk to you about the lobby.
- Okay.

261
00:11:29,131 --> 00:11:32,843
There are candies there. Hard candies.
Some might call them "suckers."

262
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:34,845
And, so, I wondered
if I should remove them.

263
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:37,013
- You're kidding, right?
- Right.

264
00:11:38,390 --> 00:11:39,808
Remove them immediately.

265
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:44,938
I asked Ms. Thorn not to go out
without a security detail.

266
00:11:45,021 --> 00:11:47,232
- But she wouldn't listen to me.
- Have there been threats?

267
00:11:47,315 --> 00:11:49,568
All the time. As Embassy Security head,

268
00:11:49,651 --> 00:11:52,028
I can't protect those who won't listen.

269
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,697
We read Ms. Thorn's speech.

270
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,074
It seems she was going after
arms dealers this time.

271
00:11:56,158 --> 00:11:59,286
Yes, I wanted her to tone it
down. But she turned it up.

272
00:11:59,369 --> 00:12:01,121
Ms. Lane, you were her aide
for six years.

273
00:12:01,204 --> 00:12:04,124
Is there anyone in particular
she crossed swords with?

274
00:12:04,207 --> 00:12:07,002
Darius Cray. A British importer-exporter.

275
00:12:07,085 --> 00:12:09,045
Well, that's a cover for arms dealing.

276
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:12,549
He supplies half the African conflicts.
He's on most of Europe's no-fly lists.

277
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:13,967
But he's running amok in America.

278
00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:15,552
I didn't see his name
in the speech.

279
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:17,679
That's because
he called me a few days ago.

280
00:12:17,762 --> 00:12:19,973
Warned me that Charlotte
had better not identify him.

281
00:12:20,056 --> 00:12:22,142
His was the one name
I convinced her to pull out.

282
00:12:22,225 --> 00:12:24,644
I'm betting he thought
she was going to put it back in.

283
00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:27,397
He sounds like a good place to start.
Where is he?

284
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,191
In town, thankfully enough.
At the Gallagher.

285
00:12:29,274 --> 00:12:31,776
But we've already reached out.
He's not answering questions.

286
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:34,321
Well, people like that, you just need
to know how to ask.

287
00:12:38,867 --> 00:12:40,327
Excuse me. I didn't order this.

288
00:12:40,410 --> 00:12:42,704
Actually, we're here to talk
about what you ordered.

289
00:12:42,787 --> 00:12:46,166
We need to ask you a few questions
about Charlotte Thorn, Mr. Cray.

290
00:12:46,249 --> 00:12:48,168
I am eating lunch
with my husband.

291
00:12:48,251 --> 00:12:49,836
Catherine, I'll see you
back in the room.

292
00:12:55,717 --> 00:12:57,260
I never met Charlotte Thorn.

293
00:12:57,344 --> 00:12:58,678
Acquainted only
by reputation then?

294
00:12:58,762 --> 00:13:01,598
Because she sure had one
for getting under your skin.

295
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:05,977
Yes, slander was a speciality of hers.
I didn't appreciate it.

296
00:13:06,061 --> 00:13:07,771
What are you doing in town, sir?

297
00:13:07,854 --> 00:13:10,232
G-20 conference.
A good place to ply my trade.

298
00:13:10,315 --> 00:13:11,608
Legal trade.

299
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,027
- Not according to Ms. Thorn.
- Ergo the slander.

300
00:13:14,110 --> 00:13:16,905
- Did you threaten her?
- Only with lawsuits.

301
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,159
I have a $100-million
legitimate munitions business.

302
00:13:21,243 --> 00:13:24,955
I pay taxes.
I abide by all the applicable laws.

303
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:28,166
Yet some people insist
on turning me into this bogeyman.

304
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:31,336
Well, here's the thing. We're not
D.C. Metro and we're not State.

305
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:33,672
And you can't brush us off
with some canned statement.

306
00:13:33,755 --> 00:13:36,633
Tell us where you were at 6:00
this morning, we'll leave you alone.

307
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:38,718
No, you'll leave me alone now.

308
00:13:39,636 --> 00:13:43,014
I have the best lawyers
in the city on a retainer.

309
00:13:43,098 --> 00:13:44,641
Ambush me again,

310
00:13:44,724 --> 00:13:46,685
and I'll sue you for harassment.

311
00:13:49,688 --> 00:13:51,606
Think we flushed him out?

312
00:13:51,690 --> 00:13:54,109
Well, I guess we'll find out
soon enough.

313
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,948
14 long-standing vacancies
on the federal appellate bench,

314
00:14:00,031 --> 00:14:01,658
it's a national embarrassment.

315
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:04,369
Addressing that is
an administration priority.

316
00:14:04,452 --> 00:14:06,246
Our slate of candidates is moderate,

317
00:14:06,329 --> 00:14:08,999
specifically chosen to achieve
broad bipartisan support.

318
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:10,750
We're reaching across party lines.

319
00:14:10,834 --> 00:14:12,919
- We wish we could reach back.
- Why can't you?

320
00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:16,256
When we had preliminary
discussions about judges,

321
00:14:16,339 --> 00:14:18,258
the President was
in a very different position.

322
00:14:18,341 --> 00:14:20,093
His centrist politics
were gathering steam.

323
00:14:20,176 --> 00:14:22,262
We thought he was a man
who should be listened to.

324
00:14:22,345 --> 00:14:24,055
Well, he is. He's the President.

325
00:14:24,139 --> 00:14:26,474
- Of a country of suckers.
- Really, Senator Krantz...

326
00:14:26,558 --> 00:14:28,727
I know how that remark
played out in my state.

327
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:31,146
Not as bad as my following his lead
now will play.

328
00:14:31,229 --> 00:14:34,899
Senator, put politics aside for a second.
You're an attorney.

329
00:14:34,983 --> 00:14:37,694
You know every name on our list
is eminently qualified.

330
00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,779
Yes. But so are these.

331
00:14:45,035 --> 00:14:47,454
None of these people have
President Kirkman's endorsement.

332
00:14:47,537 --> 00:14:50,373
Exactly. So none of them are toxic.

333
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:52,208
Let me know what you think.

334
00:14:58,173 --> 00:14:59,966
I think I hate lawyers.

335
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:03,595
I think my mother's subpoena
is prosecutorial bad face.

336
00:15:03,678 --> 00:15:05,180
How do you figure, ma'am?

337
00:15:05,263 --> 00:15:08,141
There's no evidence of
any contemporary wrongdoing.

338
00:15:08,224 --> 00:15:11,770
And this attempt to tie her
into some conspiracy involving bribery

339
00:15:11,853 --> 00:15:14,731
in Eric Little's recent d...
I mean, it's ridiculous.

340
00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:16,775
Agreed. But you need
to keep emotion out of it.

341
00:15:16,858 --> 00:15:19,152
- We're talking about my mother...
- I understand.

342
00:15:19,235 --> 00:15:21,154
But John Foerstel
is a former U.S. Attorney.

343
00:15:21,237 --> 00:15:22,656
He will use your emotion against you.

344
00:15:22,739 --> 00:15:24,949
As proof that we're trying
to hide something.

345
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:26,242
Yes.

346
00:15:27,702 --> 00:15:29,579
Which is why I'd like to be clinical.

347
00:15:29,663 --> 00:15:31,748
Sticking to the four corners
of the document

348
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,750
is our best hope
of quashing the subpoena.

349
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:36,336
I need to know
my family is protected.

350
00:15:36,419 --> 00:15:38,588
And I just haven't seen
enough evidence from you

351
00:15:38,672 --> 00:15:40,298
that you really understand that.

352
00:15:40,382 --> 00:15:41,925
I do, ma'am.

353
00:15:42,008 --> 00:15:43,968
And I've represented 11 senators

354
00:15:44,052 --> 00:15:46,179
who have been targets
of a criminal investigation.

355
00:15:46,262 --> 00:15:47,972
Not a single one was indicted.

356
00:15:49,224 --> 00:15:50,642
I'm experienced.

357
00:15:51,267 --> 00:15:52,435
And I'm good.

358
00:15:56,815 --> 00:15:58,233
What do you need from me?

359
00:15:58,316 --> 00:15:59,901
Just your trust.

360
00:16:00,819 --> 00:16:02,987
Let me do what I do.

361
00:16:03,071 --> 00:16:04,864
And I'll keep you posted.

362
00:16:08,535 --> 00:16:10,286
- Alan.
- Mr. President.

363
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:13,415
I was just explaining to Lyor and Emily
how we are friends.

364
00:16:14,082 --> 00:16:15,583
And I have to be honest.

365
00:16:15,667 --> 00:16:18,002
When among friends,
there is an expectation

366
00:16:18,086 --> 00:16:21,673
- that what one says remains private.
- I'm sorry if I violated that expectation.

367
00:16:21,756 --> 00:16:24,134
Well, you did. And I need you
to set the record straight.

368
00:16:25,301 --> 00:16:27,595
Well, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't lie.

369
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:29,222
So I can't issue a retraction.

370
00:16:29,305 --> 00:16:30,348
I'm not asking you to.

371
00:16:30,432 --> 00:16:33,017
I just want you to provide
the full context of our discussion.

372
00:16:33,101 --> 00:16:35,353
Which was me asking you
to sign on to a bill

373
00:16:35,437 --> 00:16:37,689
that I thought would be helpful
to the average American.

374
00:16:37,772 --> 00:16:39,023
An overture you portrayed

375
00:16:39,107 --> 00:16:41,234
as the President's contempt
for average Americans.

376
00:16:41,317 --> 00:16:42,694
Alan, I know you don't believe that,

377
00:16:42,777 --> 00:16:45,321
but I can't have the American people
believing that, either.

378
00:16:47,991 --> 00:16:50,368
I'm sorry, sir, I-I can't help you.

379
00:16:50,452 --> 00:16:53,538
You may wish to reconsider
that position, Senator.

380
00:16:53,621 --> 00:16:55,457
No, Ms. Rhodes, I don't think so.

381
00:16:56,791 --> 00:17:00,253
You say you're not a politician,
then you coerce me into backing a bill...

382
00:17:00,336 --> 00:17:01,963
Asking you for your support
is hardly coercion!

383
00:17:02,046 --> 00:17:04,716
It is if the person asking
is the President, sir.

384
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:08,553
But more to the point, I have
an obligation I owe to my constituents.

385
00:17:08,636 --> 00:17:10,096
Which should include an obligation

386
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:12,098
not to misrepresent
the President's words.

387
00:17:12,182 --> 00:17:14,058
I stood up to those words.

388
00:17:14,142 --> 00:17:17,395
My office received over 1,500 calls today
thanking me for that.

389
00:17:17,479 --> 00:17:19,230
I cannot defend you, sir.

390
00:17:19,314 --> 00:17:22,066
Senator, I'm not asking you for your
defense. I'm asking you for your honesty.

391
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:24,277
You're out there portraying me
as an enemy of the people.

392
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:25,528
That stops now!

393
00:17:25,612 --> 00:17:29,449
With respect, sir, if you don't want
to be the people's enemy,

394
00:17:29,532 --> 00:17:32,535
you need to start talking about them
as if they were your friends.

395
00:17:34,579 --> 00:17:36,039
I'll see myself out.

396
00:17:43,822 --> 00:17:45,365
Well, who would have thought it?

397
00:17:45,449 --> 00:17:48,077
Homespun Tom Kirkman,
an elitist snob.

398
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,662
He didn't just put his foot
in his mouth on this one.

399
00:17:50,746 --> 00:17:54,166
He put his whole leg.
Who's the sucker now, Mr. President?

400
00:17:54,249 --> 00:17:56,168
And we're already seeing
the fallout from...

401
00:17:56,251 --> 00:17:58,587
Yeah.

402
00:17:58,670 --> 00:18:00,172
So, in the last eight hours,

403
00:18:00,255 --> 00:18:02,591
we've lost congressional support
for our judicial slate.

404
00:18:02,674 --> 00:18:04,843
Your pension-bailout bill;
that's gone belly up.

405
00:18:04,927 --> 00:18:07,262
And the only topic of conversation
at the G-20 conference

406
00:18:07,346 --> 00:18:09,515
- is the murder rate in America.
- What's the press coverage?

407
00:18:09,598 --> 00:18:12,184
Uh, the Post and the Journal
have hit out at you over Suckergate.

408
00:18:12,267 --> 00:18:13,644
The Times is running an op-ed

409
00:18:13,727 --> 00:18:15,646
on the Administration's
failure to rein in arms dealers.

410
00:18:15,729 --> 00:18:18,649
We're looking at a perfect storm, sir.
So, we have to take emergency action.

411
00:18:18,732 --> 00:18:20,651
Finding Thorn's killer,
that's part of the solution.

412
00:18:20,734 --> 00:18:23,654
The other part is cauterizing Suckergate.

413
00:18:23,737 --> 00:18:25,906
Look, I understand we've taken
a hit for this thing...

414
00:18:25,989 --> 00:18:28,784
No, no, sir. It's much more than that.
This thing, it's made you radioactive.

415
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:32,287
- And the fallout's just gonna get worse.
- Fine. What do you suggest?

416
00:18:32,371 --> 00:18:33,705
Oppo research on Senator Rouse.

417
00:18:36,875 --> 00:18:39,545
It's a silver bullet.
It'll stop the bleeding.

418
00:18:39,628 --> 00:18:41,964
Lyor, bullets don't stop bleeding.
They start it.

419
00:18:42,714 --> 00:18:44,883
We need to stabilize your base, sir.

420
00:18:44,967 --> 00:18:46,802
If I go down this road,
there's no turning back.

421
00:18:46,885 --> 00:18:48,178
- We will find another way.
- Mr. President...

422
00:18:48,262 --> 00:18:50,472
We will find another way.

423
00:18:53,267 --> 00:18:54,518
Thank you, sir.

424
00:19:00,315 --> 00:19:02,109
Seth? I need a minute.

425
00:19:02,192 --> 00:19:04,695
I have nothing else to say
about Suckergate, Tiffany.

426
00:19:04,778 --> 00:19:07,030
Good. Because I wanted
to ask about a subpoena.

427
00:19:07,114 --> 00:19:08,157
What subpoena?

428
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,450
One a source tells me was
issued to the White House

429
00:19:10,534 --> 00:19:13,120
in connection with an investigation
into Icarus Astrotech.

430
00:19:13,203 --> 00:19:14,913
- To whom at the White House?
- You tell me.

431
00:19:14,997 --> 00:19:16,456
You're fishing.

432
00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:18,000
- I'm going to publish.
- Publish what?

433
00:19:18,083 --> 00:19:21,295
A story about a subpoena issued to
an unspecified person in this building?

434
00:19:21,378 --> 00:19:22,588
So you're denying it then?

435
00:19:22,671 --> 00:19:24,381
That someone in the White House
has been subpoenaed?

436
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:26,049
- Categorically.
- Seth, come on...

437
00:19:26,133 --> 00:19:27,342
Go fish.

438
00:19:30,721 --> 00:19:32,806
Darius Cray's boat is moored
at the Port of Baltimore.

439
00:19:32,890 --> 00:19:35,934
Three days ago, he extended
his slip rental for two weeks.

440
00:19:36,518 --> 00:19:38,353
And this afternoon,
right after we spoke to him,

441
00:19:38,437 --> 00:19:41,398
he filed paperwork with the harbormaster
to leave tonight.

442
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:42,858
How strong a suspect is he?

443
00:19:42,941 --> 00:19:44,985
A flight risk. No alibi.
Plenty of motive.

444
00:19:45,068 --> 00:19:47,487
Plus we have video of his car
outside Charlotte Thorn's hotel

445
00:19:47,571 --> 00:19:49,198
two nights before she was killed.

446
00:19:49,281 --> 00:19:51,158
Which means he could have been
spoiling for a confrontation.

447
00:19:51,241 --> 00:19:53,076
Is it enough circumstantial
evidence for a warrant?

448
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,579
If you know the right judge.
Give me an hour.

449
00:19:56,038 --> 00:19:59,499
We've lost a lot of support with
this "Americans are suckers" comment.

450
00:19:59,583 --> 00:20:00,417
Okay, hold on.

451
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,295
The word "suckers" has nothing to do
with the President's Clean Air Initiative.

452
00:20:03,378 --> 00:20:04,379
Sure it does.

453
00:20:04,463 --> 00:20:06,882
The President's plan requires us
to up emissions standards.

454
00:20:06,965 --> 00:20:08,342
That's gonna cost us
hundreds of millions.

455
00:20:08,425 --> 00:20:09,885
And we want something in return.

456
00:20:09,968 --> 00:20:12,554
But, if the Administration's
been crippled, what can you do for us?

457
00:20:12,638 --> 00:20:14,765
The federal tax incentives
the President's proposing are...

458
00:20:14,848 --> 00:20:15,849
Seth, you're not listening.

459
00:20:16,934 --> 00:20:20,020
- How's he gonna pass those now?
- With a little elbow grease.

460
00:20:20,103 --> 00:20:23,023
Everybody, please sit.
I'm sorry for interrupting.

461
00:20:23,106 --> 00:20:26,360
Seth, you're doing a great job
explaining the importance of this bill.

462
00:20:26,443 --> 00:20:28,779
But I wanted to take a moment
and come down here

463
00:20:28,862 --> 00:20:31,114
and thank you myself
for being here, for listening.

464
00:20:31,198 --> 00:20:35,410
And I hope you will join me in making
a better future for our children.

465
00:20:40,457 --> 00:20:41,416
Right.

466
00:20:42,584 --> 00:20:44,544
They're not the friendliest group.

467
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:47,881
I have to say, I was hoping
for a little support from you.

468
00:20:47,965 --> 00:20:49,716
My cars are electric.

469
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,718
I've delayed automating
my plants at your request.

470
00:20:51,802 --> 00:20:52,928
I gave at the office.

471
00:20:53,011 --> 00:20:54,930
I know. I know. And generously.

472
00:20:55,013 --> 00:20:59,518
But you're an industry leader.
Your silence spoke volumes.

473
00:20:59,601 --> 00:21:02,479
If you sensed a lack of enthusiasm
in there, you're right.

474
00:21:02,562 --> 00:21:05,065
The people in that room want to know
they're backing a winner.

475
00:21:05,148 --> 00:21:07,192
Come on. It was one word.

476
00:21:07,276 --> 00:21:10,654
It's not about the word, sir.
It's about leadership.

477
00:21:10,737 --> 00:21:13,407
If you can't lead the people,
you can't lead CEOs.

478
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:15,951
I was being sarcastic.

479
00:21:17,703 --> 00:21:19,997
In the end,
perception is everything.

480
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,165
I've been fighting on behalf
of the American people

481
00:21:22,249 --> 00:21:23,625
from the second I was sworn in.

482
00:21:23,709 --> 00:21:25,961
Now they think
I'm fighting against them.

483
00:21:26,044 --> 00:21:27,921
No, they don't, sir.

484
00:21:28,005 --> 00:21:30,257
Everywhere we go,
you inspire people.

485
00:21:30,966 --> 00:21:32,384
But the problem is...

486
00:21:34,011 --> 00:21:36,430
It's all right, Mike.
Finish the sentence.

487
00:21:36,513 --> 00:21:39,975
Sir, when someone takes a cheap shot,
you don't respond.

488
00:21:40,058 --> 00:21:42,936
I don't like mudslinging.
It's not who I am.

489
00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:45,689
Don't sling mud, sir. Sling hope.

490
00:21:46,315 --> 00:21:48,483
See, that's the fight people want.

491
00:21:48,942 --> 00:21:50,319
It's the hope you give them.

492
00:21:50,402 --> 00:21:53,947
And sometimes it gets lost
under all these attacks.

493
00:21:54,698 --> 00:21:57,034
You just might have a future
in politics, Mike.

494
00:21:57,117 --> 00:21:59,411
No, sir.

495
00:21:59,494 --> 00:22:02,122
I like my fights
where I can see them.

496
00:22:02,205 --> 00:22:03,498
Right in front of me.

497
00:22:04,082 --> 00:22:05,625
Smart.

498
00:22:05,709 --> 00:22:07,252
Thank you.

499
00:22:14,468 --> 00:22:15,844
They're unloading something.

500
00:22:23,518 --> 00:22:25,228
Wells to base.

501
00:22:25,312 --> 00:22:26,438
Suspect's leaving the scene.

502
00:22:26,521 --> 00:22:28,690
We're heading over there now
to check out the boat.

503
00:23:31,586 --> 00:23:33,171
It's Darius Cray.

504
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:37,927
You know, Cray's boat

505
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:41,347
had a $5 million cache
of black-market munitions.

506
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:43,432
And we think he was making
a back-room deal

507
00:23:43,516 --> 00:23:45,684
with one of the G-20 delegates
to arm an insurgency.

508
00:23:45,768 --> 00:23:47,353
His arrest was all over the wire, sir.

509
00:23:47,436 --> 00:23:49,688
Mumbai is linking him
with arming Tamil separatists.

510
00:23:49,772 --> 00:23:52,358
The French are blaming him
for selling C-4 to Basque insurgents.

511
00:23:52,441 --> 00:23:54,610
And we're the ones who brought him
to justice. It's excellent.

512
00:23:54,693 --> 00:23:56,904
That's burying the lead.
What's important here, right now,

513
00:23:56,987 --> 00:23:59,073
is whether or not he was connected
to Thorn's murder.

514
00:23:59,156 --> 00:24:01,116
The gun found on him
was the same model,

515
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,701
same caliber used
to kill Charlotte Thorn.

516
00:24:02,785 --> 00:24:03,953
We're running ballistics.

517
00:24:04,036 --> 00:24:05,496
- Is Cray talking?
- No, sir.

518
00:24:05,579 --> 00:24:06,705
He's in recovery and lawyered up.

519
00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:08,791
As soon as ballistics is back,
I'll let you know.

520
00:24:08,874 --> 00:24:12,294
- Okay. We should issue a press release.
- Yeah. When ballistics is back.

521
00:24:12,378 --> 00:24:14,171
It can focus on the arrest
of a notorious arms dealer.

522
00:24:14,255 --> 00:24:15,714
Which would step on the arrest
of Charlotte Thorn's killer.

523
00:24:15,798 --> 00:24:18,467
Anything to get us off Suckergate.
Seth, have you read the papers?

524
00:24:18,551 --> 00:24:20,052
No, I get my news from carrier pigeon.

525
00:24:20,135 --> 00:24:22,429
Okay, sir, there's obviously
spirited disagreement

526
00:24:22,513 --> 00:24:25,057
about our next steps to take
to help regain our momentum.

527
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:27,726
Yes. I can see that.
And I have an idea.

528
00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:30,271
I would like to do an OTR.

529
00:24:30,354 --> 00:24:33,524
An "on the road"? I like the impulse, sir.
What I don't like is the risk.

530
00:24:33,607 --> 00:24:36,151
Too many variables we can't control.
We should do a one-on-one.

531
00:24:36,235 --> 00:24:39,196
With Carson Kramer. Same forum as when
Senator Rouse made his accusation.

532
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,865
Release the oppo on Rouse right
before you go on just to set the stage.

533
00:24:41,949 --> 00:24:44,785
Lyor, I'm not interested
in the politics of personal destruction.

534
00:24:44,868 --> 00:24:46,579
Respectfully, sir,
this is not something that...

535
00:24:46,662 --> 00:24:48,539
Look, if the problem is
that I've lost the people,

536
00:24:48,622 --> 00:24:51,917
I need to take my argument to the people.
Show them that I'm fighting their fight.

537
00:24:52,001 --> 00:24:53,377
I want to do an OTR.

538
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:54,920
- Shoot for lunchtime.
- Yes, sir.

539
00:24:56,046 --> 00:24:57,590
Okay, lunch.
That gives us three hours.

540
00:24:57,673 --> 00:25:01,302
I want every detail stage-managed.
A diner. He'll order a hamburger.

541
00:25:01,385 --> 00:25:05,055
I don't want anything foofy on the menu
like Dijon mustard or profiteroles.

542
00:25:05,139 --> 00:25:06,599
- Diners don't have profiteroles.
- Yeah, exactly.

543
00:25:06,682 --> 00:25:07,933
We should hand-pick the audience.

544
00:25:08,017 --> 00:25:09,560
Yeah, we'll stock them
with salt-of-the-earth types.

545
00:25:09,643 --> 00:25:11,520
Folks who've been victimized
by the pension fraud.

546
00:25:11,604 --> 00:25:13,772
- Kirkman fans.
- I'll get started on the vetting.

547
00:25:13,856 --> 00:25:17,151
Emily, you're logistics.
Seth, you do your thing with words.

548
00:25:17,234 --> 00:25:19,236
Yeah, I got a word for you.

549
00:25:24,533 --> 00:25:25,576
Good morning, Kendra.

550
00:25:25,659 --> 00:25:28,078
Mrs. Kirkman, I wasn't expecting you.

551
00:25:28,162 --> 00:25:29,580
I thought I should be here.

552
00:25:29,663 --> 00:25:30,998
Of course. That's absolutely your right.

553
00:25:31,081 --> 00:25:33,876
Uh, Cindy, make sure there's a chair
for Mrs. Kirkman in the gallery.

554
00:25:33,959 --> 00:25:35,336
Oh, I'd like to second chair.

555
00:25:37,087 --> 00:25:38,380
I'll see you inside.

556
00:25:41,967 --> 00:25:44,053
Respectfully, ma'am,
I don't think that's a good idea.

557
00:25:44,136 --> 00:25:45,262
Well, why not?

558
00:25:45,888 --> 00:25:49,433
Because this proceeding is about
a subpoena issued to your mother.

559
00:25:49,516 --> 00:25:50,434
Exactly.

560
00:25:50,517 --> 00:25:52,895
Which is precisely why
I recommend against your involvement.

561
00:25:52,978 --> 00:25:55,189
Because of your personal interest.

562
00:25:55,272 --> 00:25:57,566
I appreciate your concern.

563
00:25:57,650 --> 00:25:59,526
But I need you to appreciate mine.

564
00:25:59,610 --> 00:26:03,072
I can't stand by and watch determinations
being made about my family

565
00:26:03,155 --> 00:26:04,948
and not participate.

566
00:26:05,032 --> 00:26:07,242
If anything went wrong,
I would never forgive myself.

567
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,163
I'm sure you understand.

568
00:26:13,123 --> 00:26:14,750
- Yes, ma'am.
- Good.

569
00:26:16,669 --> 00:26:19,630
Your Honor, this subpoena
is a classic fishing expedition.

570
00:26:19,713 --> 00:26:21,006
The simple fact that
we're seeking documents

571
00:26:21,090 --> 00:26:23,592
from the President's mother-in-law
does not make it a fishing expedition.

572
00:26:23,676 --> 00:26:26,261
30 years of documents.
And in service of a wild theory

573
00:26:26,345 --> 00:26:29,807
alleging a convoluted bribery scheme
that spans decades.

574
00:26:29,890 --> 00:26:32,101
A theory for which
Mr. Foerstel has no evidence.

575
00:26:32,184 --> 00:26:33,519
It's called discovery, Your Honor.

576
00:26:33,602 --> 00:26:35,187
If we had the evidence,
we wouldn't need the subpoena.

577
00:26:35,270 --> 00:26:37,481
Yes, but we still need probable cause
to prove a crime has been committed.

578
00:26:37,564 --> 00:26:39,566
- A crime was committed.
- 30 years ago.

579
00:26:39,650 --> 00:26:42,152
Mrs. Kirkman?
Are you also appearing as counsel?

580
00:26:42,236 --> 00:26:45,030
- Yes, Your Honor.
- So noted on the record.

581
00:26:45,114 --> 00:26:48,617
A crime was committed 30 years ago.
A crime which can no longer be charged.

582
00:26:48,701 --> 00:26:50,661
The warrant alleges
an ongoing conspiracy...

583
00:26:50,744 --> 00:26:51,829
I know what the warrant alleges.

584
00:26:51,912 --> 00:26:53,664
Your Honor, I believe
my co-counsel's point...

585
00:26:53,747 --> 00:26:55,332
That this is a malicious prosecution.

586
00:26:55,416 --> 00:26:58,460
How is the mere issuance of a subpoena
a malicious prosecution?

587
00:26:58,544 --> 00:27:00,462
The suggestion that
there was some nefarious

588
00:27:00,546 --> 00:27:02,589
pay-for-play scandal
involving my mother.

589
00:27:02,673 --> 00:27:05,092
That she could be implicated
in the murder of Eric Little,

590
00:27:05,175 --> 00:27:07,010
a man she hasn't even seen for 30 years.

591
00:27:07,094 --> 00:27:09,179
Your Honor, can we please
get a 10-minute recess

592
00:27:09,263 --> 00:27:12,391
- so I can consult with my co-counsel?
- I think that would be an excellent idea.

593
00:27:13,892 --> 00:27:17,396
Mrs. Kirkman, we agreed
to keep these arguments technical.

594
00:27:17,479 --> 00:27:18,814
But not antiseptic.

595
00:27:18,897 --> 00:27:20,691
You're not making
any headway in there.

596
00:27:20,774 --> 00:27:23,819
The best basis for quashing the subpoena
is its overbreadth.

597
00:27:23,902 --> 00:27:27,823
I totally disagree. The subpoena is based
on investigational subterfuge.

598
00:27:27,906 --> 00:27:29,199
Illegal activity.

599
00:27:29,283 --> 00:27:31,243
Which are arguments
I will now have to make

600
00:27:31,326 --> 00:27:33,328
now that our procedural attack
is out the window.

601
00:27:33,412 --> 00:27:36,331
- Well, then, make them.
- I will. But not with you as co-counsel.

602
00:27:36,415 --> 00:27:38,333
Excuse me?

603
00:27:38,417 --> 00:27:42,129
Ma'am, I was asked to do a job. And
I will do it to the best of my ability.

604
00:27:42,212 --> 00:27:43,881
But I cannot do it
if you're compromising me.

605
00:27:43,964 --> 00:27:44,965
Well...

606
00:27:45,048 --> 00:27:47,426
- That was not my intent.
- But it's your effect.

607
00:27:48,218 --> 00:27:50,387
If you want to argue the motion,
you're welcome to.

608
00:27:50,471 --> 00:27:54,600
But if I'm arguing it, it needs to be
without your interference.

609
00:28:00,689 --> 00:28:01,940
Oh, she's beautiful.

610
00:28:02,024 --> 00:28:03,984
And you're right.
She looks a lot like my daughter.

611
00:28:05,819 --> 00:28:09,198
Firefighters have our backs.
And it's time we have theirs.

612
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,535
Alex, you're wrong about the Redskins.
But you're right about everything else.

613
00:28:13,619 --> 00:28:15,329
Does this mean you're gonna try my chili?

614
00:28:15,412 --> 00:28:18,499
Not a chance.

615
00:28:18,582 --> 00:28:20,250
- Hi.
- Aww.

616
00:28:21,376 --> 00:28:23,587
Oh, she was talking to me
about tuition reform.

617
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,758
Don't worry, kiddo.
I'm gonna get to it. I promise.

618
00:28:27,841 --> 00:28:29,885
I've never seen anyone
this good with crowd work.

619
00:28:29,968 --> 00:28:31,887
It's because
it's not work for him.

620
00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:32,971
It's who he is.

621
00:28:34,556 --> 00:28:35,599
- Mr. President!
- Mr. President!

622
00:28:35,682 --> 00:28:37,059
Thank you all for coming out.

623
00:28:37,142 --> 00:28:39,228
- Mr. President!
- Thank you.

624
00:28:39,311 --> 00:28:40,896
- Best burger in town.
- Mr. President.

625
00:28:40,979 --> 00:28:42,022
Mr. President.

626
00:28:42,106 --> 00:28:45,818
- Alice, how are you?
- Not good, sir.

627
00:28:45,901 --> 00:28:48,445
I'm hearing that
the pension bailout bill is dead.

628
00:28:48,529 --> 00:28:49,947
That's not true.

629
00:28:50,030 --> 00:28:51,907
Well, the people I represent
want their futures back.

630
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:54,451
Can you promise me
that you can still help them?

631
00:28:54,535 --> 00:28:56,370
Well, I-I can't promise...

632
00:28:56,453 --> 00:28:58,497
Well, then you're right, Mr. President.
We are suckers...

633
00:28:59,456 --> 00:29:01,333
...for trusting you.

634
00:29:06,180 --> 00:29:07,807
Thank you...

635
00:29:10,977 --> 00:29:12,520
It wasn't that bad.

636
00:29:12,603 --> 00:29:15,064
No, she's right.
It was catastrophic.

637
00:29:15,148 --> 00:29:16,816
Yeah.

638
00:29:16,899 --> 00:29:18,067
So...

639
00:29:18,151 --> 00:29:20,069
You've already lost cachet
with Congress.

640
00:29:20,153 --> 00:29:23,239
Stonewalling your judicial nominees
was the canary in the coal mine.

641
00:29:23,322 --> 00:29:25,241
Your whole legislative agenda's
at risk now.

642
00:29:25,324 --> 00:29:29,036
- It was one word. I was being sarcastic.
- Not to put too fine a point on it,

643
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,039
but the rule is,
things last one news cycle or 10.

644
00:29:32,123 --> 00:29:34,792
We kill this story today, sir,
or it kills us.

645
00:29:34,876 --> 00:29:37,128
- Emily?
- The business community is jumping ship.

646
00:29:37,211 --> 00:29:39,046
The media is turning on you.

647
00:29:39,130 --> 00:29:40,923
If we wake up tomorrow
and Suckergate's the lead,

648
00:29:41,007 --> 00:29:43,759
- the spiral may be irreversible.
- This is ridiculous.

649
00:29:43,843 --> 00:29:45,595
I mean, there has to be a solution.

650
00:29:45,678 --> 00:29:46,554
Well, there is, sir.

651
00:29:48,222 --> 00:29:49,891
It's sitting right on that coffee table.

652
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,790
Call Carson Kramer.

653
00:30:15,666 --> 00:30:16,751
Yes, sir.

654
00:30:21,631 --> 00:30:24,592
Your Honor, the basis for this subpoena
is an illegal search.

655
00:30:24,675 --> 00:30:27,178
Your Honor, the Fourth Amendment
has zero applicability to the request

656
00:30:27,261 --> 00:30:28,888
for documents connected to a company

657
00:30:28,971 --> 00:30:30,723
that Mrs. Booker admitted
she received a bribe from.

658
00:30:30,806 --> 00:30:33,559
- There's probable cause...
- I'd like to hear Ms. Daynes out.

659
00:30:33,643 --> 00:30:34,936
Mr. Foerstel is right.

660
00:30:35,019 --> 00:30:36,812
There is probable cause
for this subpoena.

661
00:30:36,896 --> 00:30:38,397
But it stems from Hannah Wells,

662
00:30:38,481 --> 00:30:40,316
who removed a hospital record
from an active crime scene.

663
00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:42,235
I don't see how that
invalidates the subpoena.

664
00:30:42,318 --> 00:30:44,779
The hospital record was obtained
illegally and without a warrant.

665
00:30:44,862 --> 00:30:45,821
Fruit of the poisonous tree?

666
00:30:45,905 --> 00:30:47,114
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Hold on.

667
00:30:47,198 --> 00:30:48,824
You're complaining about
the conduct of Agent Wells?

668
00:30:48,908 --> 00:30:50,409
Agent Wells works
for the White House.

669
00:30:50,493 --> 00:30:51,577
But Mrs. Booker doesn't.

670
00:30:51,661 --> 00:30:53,454
Then why is the White House
counsel representing her?

671
00:30:53,538 --> 00:30:55,081
It doesn't matter
who's representing her.

672
00:30:55,164 --> 00:30:56,832
What matters is whether
her rights were violated.

673
00:30:56,916 --> 00:30:58,251
I'm inclined to agree.

674
00:30:58,334 --> 00:31:00,086
Wait, Judge, there are
exigent circumstances.

675
00:31:00,169 --> 00:31:03,673
Agent Wells removed that document
because she was pursuing Patrick Lloyd.

676
00:31:03,756 --> 00:31:06,384
And if you were subpoenaing
Patrick Lloyd, I might look the other way.

677
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:10,179
But you're not, and I won't.
Motion to quash granted.

678
00:31:13,224 --> 00:31:15,685
Quick out,
they pick up the first down.

679
00:31:15,768 --> 00:31:17,061
10 inside the 35.

680
00:31:17,144 --> 00:31:19,063
A little bit of push...

681
00:31:19,146 --> 00:31:20,856
No doubt.
There might have been

682
00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:22,441
some offensive interference,
but it was not called.

683
00:31:36,664 --> 00:31:38,541
Shipping out tonight.

684
00:31:38,624 --> 00:31:39,917
Yeah?

685
00:31:40,334 --> 00:31:42,962
Do you need a ride to the airport?

686
00:31:43,045 --> 00:31:44,255
Sure.

687
00:31:45,131 --> 00:31:49,176
You know, I can always call DHS
and have you deported again.

688
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:51,220
It's like Uber. With handcuffs.

689
00:31:51,304 --> 00:31:54,265
The ongoing pleasures
of American hospitality.

690
00:31:56,601 --> 00:31:58,269
Look, I just wanted to say...

691
00:32:00,104 --> 00:32:02,023
I know you've had my back.

692
00:32:02,106 --> 00:32:04,775
And, um, thanks.

693
00:32:06,777 --> 00:32:08,279
You, too.

694
00:32:08,362 --> 00:32:10,656
I'm kind of picky about
who I work with.

695
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:13,618
And I didn't hate you.

696
00:32:14,785 --> 00:32:16,746
So, that's kind of a big deal for me.

697
00:32:32,511 --> 00:32:34,013
Yeah?

698
00:32:35,765 --> 00:32:37,350
Um, sure.

699
00:32:37,433 --> 00:32:39,310
I think I can track Damian down.
Yeah.

700
00:32:40,436 --> 00:32:42,063
Okay. See you soon.

701
00:32:43,230 --> 00:32:44,774
There's been a development
in the Thorn case.

702
00:32:44,857 --> 00:32:46,817
Aaron Shore needs to see us
right away.

703
00:32:51,364 --> 00:32:53,741
We got ballistics back
for Darius Cray's gun.

704
00:32:53,824 --> 00:32:56,744
- It didn't kill Charlotte Thorn.
- Darius is an arms dealer.

705
00:32:56,827 --> 00:32:59,288
- He's got hundreds of guns.
- And there's something else.

706
00:32:59,372 --> 00:33:02,375
There was activity in one
of Cray's accounts after he was shot.

707
00:33:02,458 --> 00:33:05,336
A transfer of 100 million Euros
to a Swiss bank account.

708
00:33:05,419 --> 00:33:08,464
And the only person with access
to that account was Catherine, his wife.

709
00:33:08,547 --> 00:33:10,299
You saying we've been
chasing the wrong Cray?

710
00:33:10,383 --> 00:33:12,718
Yeah, Catherine's been calling the shots.
He was just a front.

711
00:33:12,802 --> 00:33:13,678
M-Maybe.

712
00:33:13,761 --> 00:33:16,722
But we still don't know that Darius
didn't kill Charlotte Thorn.

713
00:33:16,806 --> 00:33:18,224
Yeah, we do.

714
00:33:18,307 --> 00:33:20,601
- What?
- Check this out.

715
00:33:23,145 --> 00:33:25,398
This was taken yesterday morning.

716
00:33:29,777 --> 00:33:32,947
Darius was moving guns
when Charlotte Thorn was killed.

717
00:33:34,657 --> 00:33:36,367
Which means
I have to tell the President

718
00:33:36,450 --> 00:33:38,369
that our investigation is ongoing.

719
00:33:38,452 --> 00:33:40,413
And you two have to get back to work.

720
00:33:45,876 --> 00:33:48,087
It's been a rough couple
of days, Mr. President.

721
00:33:48,170 --> 00:33:49,797
Yes. Yes, it has.

722
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,550
But you won't hear me complain.
Not for a second.

723
00:33:52,633 --> 00:33:54,427
Because I know that
there are people out there

724
00:33:54,510 --> 00:33:56,637
who are really having
a rough time right now.

725
00:33:57,555 --> 00:33:59,014
Now, I know
you want to address

726
00:33:59,098 --> 00:34:01,475
Senator Rouse's, uh, incendiary claim

727
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,228
that you called
the American people suckers.

728
00:34:04,311 --> 00:34:06,856
- The floor is yours, sir.
- Thank you.

729
00:34:06,939 --> 00:34:08,441
I think that there is something

730
00:34:08,524 --> 00:34:10,359
the American people should know
about Senator Rouse.

731
00:34:12,319 --> 00:34:13,946
And that is...

732
00:34:19,326 --> 00:34:21,120
Go there. Please go there.

733
00:34:24,373 --> 00:34:26,917
- ...that he is telling the truth.
- Oh, my God.

734
00:34:27,001 --> 00:34:29,503
- What is he doing?
- He took my words out of context,

735
00:34:29,587 --> 00:34:32,089
- but he is quoting me accurately.
- This is bad.

736
00:34:32,173 --> 00:34:34,633
So you really think
the American people are suckers?

737
00:34:35,718 --> 00:34:37,928
Yes. I guess so.

738
00:34:39,221 --> 00:34:41,849
Because they believe
in the American dream.

739
00:34:41,932 --> 00:34:44,602
This idea that our best tomorrows
are in front of us,

740
00:34:44,685 --> 00:34:46,937
regardless of what today
might be saying.

741
00:34:47,021 --> 00:34:49,607
And if that makes you a sucker,

742
00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:51,358
then count me in.

743
00:34:51,734 --> 00:34:52,943
Less bad.

744
00:34:53,027 --> 00:34:55,279
The great American generations
that have come before us...

745
00:34:55,362 --> 00:34:57,615
- Bring it home, sir. Bring it home.
- ...have always managed

746
00:34:57,698 --> 00:34:59,575
to pull together when times were tough.

747
00:34:59,658 --> 00:35:03,454
We cannot be the exception.
And that's why it is so important

748
00:35:03,537 --> 00:35:06,081
that Congress gets behind
the pension bailout bill.

749
00:35:06,165 --> 00:35:08,459
Too many Americans have had
their security and their dreams

750
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:11,128
- snatched away from them.
- Trending good.

751
00:35:11,212 --> 00:35:13,339
It's our turn to fix that.

752
00:35:13,422 --> 00:35:16,759
So, I am promising the American people
that I will not rest

753
00:35:16,842 --> 00:35:19,970
until that security
and those dreams

754
00:35:20,054 --> 00:35:21,764
have been restored.

755
00:35:28,187 --> 00:35:30,189
I'm calling our pollsters.

756
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,611
Our boss may have just
pulled off the great escape.

757
00:35:47,357 --> 00:35:48,775
Thank you for seeing me, sir.

758
00:35:48,858 --> 00:35:50,443
You're gonna have
to make it quick, Senator.

759
00:35:50,527 --> 00:35:51,945
I don't have a lot of time
for you right now.

760
00:35:52,028 --> 00:35:54,614
I understand.
I just wanted to let you know

761
00:35:54,697 --> 00:35:56,533
I've decided to support
your pension bailout bill.

762
00:35:56,616 --> 00:35:58,618
- You have?
- Yes, sir.

763
00:35:58,701 --> 00:36:01,454
Well, I hope nobody coerced you
into changing your mind.

764
00:36:01,538 --> 00:36:05,333
I don't expect you to forgive
my political opportunism.

765
00:36:07,627 --> 00:36:10,130
I have an explanation, not an excuse.

766
00:36:10,213 --> 00:36:11,840
I'm listening.

767
00:36:13,675 --> 00:36:16,845
Sonia has, um... ovarian cancer.

768
00:36:16,928 --> 00:36:18,513
Oh, my God.

769
00:36:19,389 --> 00:36:20,974
I am so sorry.

770
00:36:21,057 --> 00:36:22,892
A-Alan, please... please sit.

771
00:36:23,643 --> 00:36:24,561
Thank you, sir.

772
00:36:31,818 --> 00:36:33,945
So it's two years in.

773
00:36:34,028 --> 00:36:37,115
Been an up-and-down battle.
Stressful.

774
00:36:39,409 --> 00:36:41,744
I took comfort elsewhere.

775
00:36:43,746 --> 00:36:45,206
An affair.

776
00:36:48,084 --> 00:36:49,294
I-I called it off,

777
00:36:49,377 --> 00:36:50,545
and, um...

778
00:36:51,504 --> 00:36:54,007
Sonia and I are in counseling.
We're trying to work it out,

779
00:36:54,090 --> 00:36:57,177
but my marriage
is hanging on by a thread.

780
00:36:57,260 --> 00:37:00,138
And the children...

781
00:37:00,555 --> 00:37:02,724
I'm so sorry you're going through this.

782
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,562
We all have our cross to bear.

783
00:37:09,022 --> 00:37:11,900
I... guess I...

784
00:37:13,943 --> 00:37:15,278
needed a victory.

785
00:37:15,361 --> 00:37:18,615
I was desperate,
and when I saw the opportunity, I...

786
00:37:21,993 --> 00:37:23,203
Alan.

787
00:37:23,286 --> 00:37:25,038
I'm sorry, Mr. President.

788
00:37:27,999 --> 00:37:31,002
Thank you for coming to me
a-and explaining this.

789
00:37:36,549 --> 00:37:38,676
Mr. President, Alice Roland is here.

790
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,970
Thank you, Lily.
I'm gonna need a moment.

791
00:37:53,441 --> 00:37:55,193
I need you to look at this.

792
00:38:02,116 --> 00:38:05,411
- Oh, my God.
- I didn't use it.

793
00:38:06,412 --> 00:38:07,830
I couldn't.

794
00:38:09,290 --> 00:38:10,625
But if I have it,

795
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,087
you need to take care of this now.

796
00:38:21,261 --> 00:38:23,638
Man, our boss has more lives than a cat.

797
00:38:24,180 --> 00:38:25,890
Good thing for us kittens.

798
00:38:25,974 --> 00:38:27,934
So, since we're not
burning the midnight oil...

799
00:38:28,017 --> 00:38:30,144
Oh, come by anytime.
I'll put out a bowl of milk.

800
00:38:30,228 --> 00:38:32,605
- We can torture metaphors.
- Sounds good. Hey.

801
00:38:32,689 --> 00:38:34,440
What is it?

802
00:38:34,524 --> 00:38:36,526
Is that like a mannequin challenge thing
or something?

803
00:38:36,609 --> 00:38:37,986
Never mind.

804
00:38:41,447 --> 00:38:43,992
Our latest, uh, poll numbers.

805
00:38:44,075 --> 00:38:45,368
Hm.

806
00:38:45,451 --> 00:38:46,995
Our boss did okay tonight, huh?

807
00:38:47,078 --> 00:38:48,746
He did okay.

808
00:38:48,830 --> 00:38:51,499
You think he's weak
for not using the oppo, right?

809
00:38:53,042 --> 00:38:55,420
No. I think he's the President.

810
00:38:58,631 --> 00:39:00,049
Thank you for coming.

811
00:39:00,133 --> 00:39:01,342
I invited you back here

812
00:39:01,426 --> 00:39:05,305
because I wanted to tell you myself
how much I respect you.

813
00:39:06,681 --> 00:39:09,392
Well, that respect is mutual, sir.

814
00:39:11,602 --> 00:39:14,397
I saw your interview on television.

815
00:39:15,148 --> 00:39:17,275
I know what kind of man you are.

816
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:19,610
An honest man.

817
00:39:19,694 --> 00:39:21,237
Thank you.

818
00:39:21,321 --> 00:39:22,989
I appreciate that.

819
00:39:23,531 --> 00:39:26,784
I do the best I can,
and I know you do, too.

820
00:39:28,077 --> 00:39:30,997
Your work as a victims' advocate
is inspiring.

821
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,249
And... and I hope you don't mind,

822
00:39:33,333 --> 00:39:35,918
but I wanted to find out
what motivated you.

823
00:39:37,003 --> 00:39:40,548
And I was surprised to see that
you weren't one of the victims.

824
00:39:41,716 --> 00:39:44,344
But instead, the wife
of one of the perpetrators.

825
00:39:44,886 --> 00:39:46,763
Your late husband managed
one of the feeder funds

826
00:39:46,846 --> 00:39:49,891
and funneled hundreds of millions
of dollars back to himself.

827
00:39:53,269 --> 00:39:54,937
Yes.

828
00:39:56,564 --> 00:40:00,109
So, you became an advocate
out of a sense of obligation...

829
00:40:01,652 --> 00:40:04,781
...to those who paid such a high price
while your family prospered.

830
00:40:08,451 --> 00:40:09,911
Yes.

831
00:40:11,245 --> 00:40:13,122
The guilt must be overwhelming.

832
00:40:15,124 --> 00:40:18,294
I would expect at times
you feel like it's hard to even go on.

833
00:40:26,302 --> 00:40:29,430
I feel like that every time
I walk into this building.

834
00:40:32,975 --> 00:40:34,560
And sit in that chair...

835
00:40:35,812 --> 00:40:38,147
and have someone call me
"Mr. President"...

836
00:40:41,567 --> 00:40:43,986
...simply because I survived,

837
00:40:45,613 --> 00:40:47,365
because I was lucky.

838
00:40:51,244 --> 00:40:52,995
You know what people
like you and I

839
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:55,206
are supposed to do
with that kind of luck?

840
00:40:55,289 --> 00:40:56,874
No, sir.

841
00:40:57,417 --> 00:40:59,168
Pay it forward.

842
00:41:02,505 --> 00:41:04,215
I promise you...

843
00:41:04,298 --> 00:41:06,008
In fact, I pledge to you...

844
00:41:07,093 --> 00:41:12,223
that I will do everything in my power
to try and pay it forward.

845
00:41:14,475 --> 00:41:16,227
And I know you will, too.

846
00:41:18,729 --> 00:41:20,189
Yes.

847
00:41:20,295 --> 00:41:25,295
