00:00:04,439 --> 00:00:06,795
_
2
00:00:08,583 --> 00:00:10,034
_
3
00:00:12,201 --> 00:00:14,300
- Good game, Mr. Vice President.
- Sir, how is it going...
4
00:00:14,301 --> 00:00:15,822
Hello, good to see you.
5
00:00:15,823 --> 00:00:19,447
Gentleman, glad we could provide
a perfect day for golf.
6
00:00:19,448 --> 00:00:22,699
The least we could do, seeing as you
are stuck with the under-study.
7
00:00:23,393 --> 00:00:27,844
The President is very sorry to miss
out on the Pacific Rim Economic Forum
8
00:00:27,845 --> 00:00:30,721
but, he and Prime Minister Welton
shared a close friendship.
9
00:00:30,722 --> 00:00:35,031
Of course, he had to be on hand for the state
funeral and is just flying home today.
10
00:00:35,385 --> 00:00:39,554
Our hearts go out to our Australian brothers
and sisters on this solemn occasion.
11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,000
The good news for all of you is that
Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership
12
00:00:44,001 --> 00:00:45,957
has been high on my agenda
since I was a young Senator.
13
00:00:45,958 --> 00:00:50,582
The bad news for all of you: I'm a
much better golfer than the President.
14
00:00:51,951 --> 00:00:54,388
Minister Chen, I believe you
are in the first group?
15
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,842
We're assuming this is
why Australia did not
16
00:01:00,843 --> 00:01:03,092
send a delegate to the
conference this year.
17
00:01:03,157 --> 00:01:05,808
They are a county in mourning,
rather than protest.
18
00:01:05,809 --> 00:01:06,674
Absolutely.
19
00:01:06,675 --> 00:01:10,497
Because we are well aware that some of our
members of the Asian-Pacific nations are
20
00:01:10,498 --> 00:01:14,103
not entirely comfortable with the inclusion
of China at this forum this year.
21
00:01:14,104 --> 00:01:17,823
On the contrary, Minister Chen,
we need China in this discussion.
22
00:01:17,826 --> 00:01:20,882
Given that much of the framework
is about counterfeit issues.
23
00:01:20,985 --> 00:01:24,185
We a... want to see some progress there.
24
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:25,958
It's a little warm today isn't it?
25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,780
It's quite pleasant.
26
00:01:28,804 --> 00:01:30,549
Warm to me.
27
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:33,241
I usually run cool.
28
00:01:33,606 --> 00:01:35,610
Our we speaking in metaphors?
29
00:01:35,693 --> 00:01:38,284
Ahh... what?
30
00:01:38,285 --> 00:01:41,210
If that is the case, Mr.
Vice President, let
31
00:01:41,211 --> 00:01:44,312
me remind you that a
fish rots from the head.
32
00:01:44,579 --> 00:01:45,559
Please, don't say that.
33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,528
I thought you had this idiom:
the fish rots from the head?
34
00:01:48,529 --> 00:01:50,929
- Please.
- Just as the top part of the fish rots...
35
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:51,937
(throws up)
36
00:01:54,195 --> 00:01:55,893
- I'm so sorry.
- We need medical...
37
00:01:55,894 --> 00:01:57,212
There's something wrong...
38
00:01:57,213 --> 00:01:58,536
(groans)
39
00:01:58,956 --> 00:02:02,484

00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:05,990

That's as far as I got.
49
00:02:34,767 --> 00:02:35,998
Madam Secretary?
50
00:02:35,999 --> 00:02:39,633
I'm so sorry. I was hoping this
was the part where I wake up.
51
00:02:39,634 --> 00:02:43,114
It's the first draft and you know it
will sound a lot better when you do it.
52
00:02:43,115 --> 00:02:44,432
- Mmm.
- Of course, you'll have some of the staff
53
00:02:44,433 --> 00:02:46,079
- backing you up.
- I know it's cheesy.
54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,232
But the Pacific Rim
Economic Forum is important
55
00:02:49,233 --> 00:02:50,990
and the delegates love
the talent show aspect.
56
00:02:50,991 --> 00:02:53,413
The hosting country always performs.
57
00:02:53,613 --> 00:02:55,695
Look it would be bad form to skip it.
58
00:02:55,696 --> 00:02:57,340
And it really comes down to the Cambodians.
59
00:02:57,341 --> 00:02:59,796
They're the swing vote on
the Trans-Pacific agreement
60
00:02:59,797 --> 00:03:02,054
and they are huge fans of Billy Joel.
61
00:03:02,055 --> 00:03:05,159
Oh... that's good... here's the thing.
62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,410
I don't sing.
63
00:03:06,958 --> 00:03:09,518
I mean a little bit in the shower,
you know, here and there.
64
00:03:09,567 --> 00:03:11,412
Do you guys sing?
65
00:03:12,139 --> 00:03:13,669
Yeah... I do.
66
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,057
College, acapela.
67
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,194
Resume builder.
68
00:03:20,195 --> 00:03:22,994
Madam Secretary. The whole
thing is ludicrous.
69
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:27,761
But it has a lot more diplomatic
importance that you might think.
70
00:03:28,177 --> 00:03:30,163
(sighs) Just...
71
00:03:30,396 --> 00:03:33,167
tell me I have time in my
schedule to work on this.
72
00:03:33,168 --> 00:03:34,400
Oh, no ma'am.
73
00:03:35,128 --> 00:03:37,949
But, I'm certain Daisy has a plan.
74
00:03:39,082 --> 00:03:41,181
I'm sure you're better than you think.
75
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:43,271
That's your plan?
76
00:03:43,332 --> 00:03:46,962
Well, she's right. If you
can speak you can sing.
77
00:03:47,638 --> 00:03:49,505
Unless, you're tone deaf or something.
78
00:03:50,692 --> 00:03:53,277
I'm sure you're not. That's like
2 percent of the population.
79
00:03:53,278 --> 00:03:56,857
Excuse me, ma'am, the Vice President
has been taken to the hospital.
80
00:03:56,858 --> 00:04:00,522
Following an incident on the golf
course with the Pan-Asian delegation.
81
00:04:00,528 --> 00:04:03,648
Flu-like symptoms. He'll
be under going tests.
82
00:04:03,649 --> 00:04:06,379
His condition is stable and
they'll keep us informed.
83
00:04:09,665 --> 00:04:11,693
Flu-like symptoms?
84
00:04:11,996 --> 00:04:13,723
That sounds contagious.
85
00:04:13,724 --> 00:04:15,670
Madam Secretary, you're
going to be great.
86
00:04:16,594 --> 00:04:20,705
E.M Forster said if I had to choose
between betraying my friend or my country.
87
00:04:20,706 --> 00:04:24,638
I hope I would have the
courage to betray my country.
88
00:04:25,256 --> 00:04:27,220
Anybody want to expand on that?
89
00:04:28,465 --> 00:04:33,645
It demonstrates his distrust...
of larger institutions.
90
00:04:33,646 --> 00:04:34,547
As an outsider.
91
00:04:34,548 --> 00:04:35,328
How an outsider?
92
00:04:35,329 --> 00:04:37,473
Gay, in England at the turn of the century?
93
00:04:37,474 --> 00:04:40,170
Okay, so you're suggesting
that his outsider status
94
00:04:40,171 --> 00:04:42,295
gave him a unique perspective
95
00:04:42,296 --> 00:04:44,523
on nationalism, but does this statement
96
00:04:45,191 --> 00:04:46,591
- make him unpatriotic?
- Yes.
97
00:04:46,592 --> 00:04:48,694
- Why?
- The point
98
00:04:48,695 --> 00:04:50,295
of serving your country is,
99
00:04:50,296 --> 00:04:52,097
you put the greater good
ahead of the individual.
100
00:04:52,098 --> 00:04:53,465
Okay, Ivan.
101
00:04:53,466 --> 00:04:57,769
Okay, but what about fighting
for your buddy in the foxhole?
102
00:04:57,770 --> 00:05:00,038
I feel like that might be more
of an American concept.
103
00:05:00,039 --> 00:05:01,306
Well, I-I disagree.
104
00:05:01,307 --> 00:05:03,041
All of those soldiers fighting shoeless
105
00:05:03,042 --> 00:05:04,810
and without weapons on the Russian front
106
00:05:04,811 --> 00:05:05,977
in World War II
107
00:05:05,978 --> 00:05:08,046
were not serving the common good.
108
00:05:08,047 --> 00:05:09,247
They were being forced
109
00:05:09,248 --> 00:05:11,216
- into the battle, and they did it...
- (phone buzzing)
110
00:05:11,217 --> 00:05:13,752
...to keep themselves and their
families from going to prison.
111
00:05:13,753 --> 00:05:15,520
IVAN: That's an oversimplification,
112
00:05:15,521 --> 00:05:18,857
and you can't reduce
Russian patriotism to that.
113
00:05:18,858 --> 00:05:21,827
It took real idealism to defeat Hitler. _
114
00:05:21,828 --> 00:05:25,430
And the Russian Army
almost accomplished that
115
00:05:25,431 --> 00:05:27,265
single-handedly.
116
00:05:27,266 --> 00:05:30,569
(loud, overlapping chatter)
117
00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:33,839
All right. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
118
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,974
- (whistles)
- Reign it in. Reign it in.
119
00:05:35,975 --> 00:05:39,311
Uh, who won World War II is
an entirely different class,
120
00:05:39,312 --> 00:05:40,846
and I don't teach it, thank God.
121
00:05:40,847 --> 00:05:42,881
Uh, so let's talk for a minute
122
00:05:42,882 --> 00:05:47,051
about the ethical role of the
individual in a commonwealth.
123
00:05:53,125 --> 00:05:55,827
Sorry to call you in
on such short notice.
124
00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:57,562
We like to give more
of a heads-up as a rule.
125
00:05:57,563 --> 00:06:00,265
I'm Jane Fellows. I'll be
your you main contact at DIA.
126
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:03,602
This is Cooper Ralston, Perry Thomas.
127
00:06:03,603 --> 00:06:04,903
- Hi.
- How are you?
128
00:06:04,904 --> 00:06:07,338
- Hello.
- Have a seat.
129
00:06:09,608 --> 00:06:12,411
This is one of our safe houses.
130
00:06:12,412 --> 00:06:14,012
It's smarter for you not
to come to the office.
131
00:06:14,013 --> 00:06:16,915
Uh, you look a little thrown.
132
00:06:16,916 --> 00:06:18,350
I was told General Sarno briefed you
133
00:06:18,351 --> 00:06:19,951
on how this would work once you joined
134
00:06:19,952 --> 00:06:21,353
the faculty at the War College.
135
00:06:21,354 --> 00:06:22,721
I was informed
136
00:06:22,722 --> 00:06:25,357
there'd be some overlap
with DIA, but that's it.
137
00:06:25,358 --> 00:06:27,392
Occupational hazard, being
stingy with information.
138
00:06:27,393 --> 00:06:29,795
I'm sorry about that.
139
00:06:29,796 --> 00:06:31,830
Uh, getting right to the point,
140
00:06:31,831 --> 00:06:34,132
we have an eye on one of your students.
141
00:06:34,133 --> 00:06:36,001
Ivan Kolashkov. Do you know him?
142
00:06:36,002 --> 00:06:38,670
Yes, of course. He's in
my Military Ethics class.
143
00:06:38,671 --> 00:06:40,872
He's training to serve
under General Doroshevich,
144
00:06:40,873 --> 00:06:43,175
one of the highest-ranking
members of the Russian military,
145
00:06:43,176 --> 00:06:45,143
and a close advisor to President Ostrov.
146
00:06:45,144 --> 00:06:47,512
I believe that all the Russian students
147
00:06:47,513 --> 00:06:49,815
in my classes are under his direction.
148
00:06:49,816 --> 00:06:53,751
Yes. But we like Ivan.
149
00:06:54,553 --> 00:06:56,855
He seems pretty steadfast
in his nationalism.
150
00:06:56,856 --> 00:06:58,256
Good.
151
00:06:58,257 --> 00:07:00,826
Observe and assess him. We need a basic
152
00:07:00,827 --> 00:07:03,495
psychological profile, character analysis.
153
00:07:03,496 --> 00:07:05,063
What are you looking for?
154
00:07:05,064 --> 00:07:08,133
To see whether or not he
can be an asset for us.
155
00:07:08,134 --> 00:07:11,602
We feel we could redirect
all that fiery patriotism.
156
00:07:14,706 --> 00:07:17,976
Do you want to let me in on the idea?
157
00:07:17,977 --> 00:07:19,444
He's a closet homosexual.
158
00:07:19,445 --> 00:07:21,313
Russian Military takes a dim view of it.
159
00:07:21,314 --> 00:07:23,782
Mean the end of his career,
possible prison time.
160
00:07:23,783 --> 00:07:26,084
What do you need me for?
161
00:07:26,085 --> 00:07:27,519
There are other criteria to consider.
162
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,653
Uh, you're familiar
163
00:07:28,654 --> 00:07:31,056
with the checklist of
intelligence modalities?
164
00:07:31,057 --> 00:07:35,894
Inter and intra personal skills,
situational awareness, so on?
165
00:07:35,895 --> 00:07:40,465
So, you want me to tee him
up so you can blackmail him?
166
00:07:40,466 --> 00:07:44,068
All while teaching Military Ethics.
167
00:07:45,003 --> 00:07:47,604
(sighs)
168
00:07:49,107 --> 00:07:53,078
National security is a vast network,
169
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:55,714
and it's all part of the
same fabric, Dr. McCord,
170
00:07:55,715 --> 00:07:58,183
but... you know that.
171
00:07:58,184 --> 00:08:00,652
It's a corrupt government which
forces him into the shadows.
172
00:08:00,653 --> 00:08:02,621
Let's start there, or maybe
173
00:08:02,622 --> 00:08:04,689
you're squeamish because
you're still new at this
174
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:06,691
and thinking about the person,
and not the politics.
175
00:08:06,692 --> 00:08:10,061
But Russia continues to be
our next real nuclear threat,
176
00:08:10,062 --> 00:08:12,831
and he's a very ambitious
officer in their army.
177
00:08:12,832 --> 00:08:16,501
No matter how cuddly he
might seem in your classroom.
178
00:08:16,502 --> 00:08:19,503
Perry, is it?
179
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:23,540
I think it's best we don't talk.
180
00:08:26,344 --> 00:08:28,613
(sighs)
181
00:08:28,614 --> 00:08:31,082
Just get to know your student, Dr. McCord.
182
00:08:31,083 --> 00:08:34,729
Tell us what you think, that's all.
183
00:08:35,072 --> 00:08:36,493
MAN (on TV): The White
House released a statement
184
00:08:36,494 --> 00:08:37,689
saying that Delgado is undergoing
185
00:08:37,690 --> 00:08:39,324
emergency gallbladder surgery.
186
00:08:39,325 --> 00:08:40,625
The VP reportedly collapsed...
187
00:08:40,626 --> 00:08:42,827
I didn't know gallbladder
could have an emergency.
188
00:08:42,828 --> 00:08:45,830
Well, it can if it's inside
189
00:08:45,831 --> 00:08:48,433
the Vice President of the United States.
190
00:08:48,434 --> 00:08:50,569
Hey, one of you guys
needs to sign this paper
191
00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:52,537
- proving that I showed it to you.
- Good morning.
192
00:08:52,538 --> 00:08:53,972
- Morning.
- Why?
193
00:08:53,973 --> 00:08:55,840
Oh, 'cause I got a "C", and
they think I'm gonna hide it.
194
00:08:55,841 --> 00:08:57,075
They don't have the honor code
195
00:08:57,076 --> 00:08:58,810
in public school like the Quakers did,
196
00:08:58,811 --> 00:09:00,779
- so, they just assume you're a liar.
- No.
197
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:02,714
Why did you get a "C" on your paper?
198
00:09:02,715 --> 00:09:04,649
- Because he's an average student.
- JASON: Wrong again.
199
00:09:04,650 --> 00:09:05,984
Does that ever get boring?
200
00:09:05,985 --> 00:09:07,552
Oh, Jace, this is civics.
201
00:09:07,553 --> 00:09:08,853
I thought you liked this class.
202
00:09:08,854 --> 00:09:11,222
I do, which is why I threw
myself passionately
203
00:09:11,223 --> 00:09:12,490
into the assignment.
204
00:09:12,491 --> 00:09:14,025
Write about an American
205
00:09:14,026 --> 00:09:15,894
who has a positive influence on society.
206
00:09:15,895 --> 00:09:17,940
I chose Erica James,
207
00:09:17,941 --> 00:09:20,276
The Washington Chronicle
journalist who's in prison
208
00:09:20,277 --> 00:09:22,378
for not revealing her sources.
209
00:09:22,379 --> 00:09:24,380
Well, maybe your teacher
wasn't looking for,
210
00:09:24,381 --> 00:09:26,682
you know, a convicted criminal.
211
00:09:26,683 --> 00:09:28,150
You mean like Rosa Parks?
212
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:29,485
Nice.
213
00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:31,287
Mr. Crider said that being
214
00:09:31,288 --> 00:09:33,689
in prison actually prevents
Erica James from contributing
215
00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:36,158
to society in a positive
way, so, he, uh,
216
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:37,604
- gave me a "C""
- Come on, Jace.
217
00:09:37,605 --> 00:09:38,961
I mean, it's an admirable point,
218
00:09:38,962 --> 00:09:41,012
but you had to know you
were poking the bear.
219
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:41,664
Okay.
220
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:43,432
So, what, civil disobedience
isn't important?
221
00:09:43,433 --> 00:09:44,733
ELIZABETH: Well, it is.
222
00:09:44,734 --> 00:09:47,107
And it will often get you
a "C" in your civics class.
223
00:09:47,108 --> 00:09:47,687
HENRY: Yeah.
224
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:48,671
I have some good news.
225
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:50,639
School elections were held yesterday,
226
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,708
and I was elected Peer Mediator.
227
00:09:52,709 --> 00:09:55,010
Wow.
228
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:56,412
That's cool.
229
00:09:56,413 --> 00:09:57,947
What... what is that?
230
00:09:57,948 --> 00:09:58,522
That's like...
231
00:09:58,523 --> 00:10:00,149
She gets to be the keeper
of the talking stick.
232
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:01,984
Oh, like round-table discussions?
233
00:10:01,985 --> 00:10:04,653
Yeah, but with a stick
that tells you when to talk.
234
00:10:04,654 --> 00:10:07,289
It's part of a program at
school they call Life Skills,
235
00:10:07,290 --> 00:10:09,124
something you'll never know about.
236
00:10:09,125 --> 00:10:11,427
So you're like a student counselor.
237
00:10:11,428 --> 00:10:12,661
No, mediator.
238
00:10:12,662 --> 00:10:14,029
Nora Trilling got Peer Counselor.
239
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:15,230
Oh.
240
00:10:15,231 --> 00:10:16,432
Well, that's great.
241
00:10:16,433 --> 00:10:18,834
Try to tone down the excitement.
242
00:10:18,835 --> 00:10:20,469
ELIZABETH: No, no, no, we are.
243
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:21,637
We just... We didn't have
244
00:10:21,638 --> 00:10:22,972
those kind of things at our school.
245
00:10:22,973 --> 00:10:25,941
We had Sergeants-at-Arms,
which probably not very Quaker.
246
00:10:25,942 --> 00:10:29,144
Well, it's kind of a big deal,
and I'm happy about it.
247
00:10:29,145 --> 00:10:31,113
That's all that matters.
248
00:10:31,114 --> 00:10:32,715
Hey, you know, before I get out of here,
249
00:10:32,716 --> 00:10:34,249
just one quick question.
250
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:35,951
Um... (laughs)
251
00:10:35,952 --> 00:10:38,519
I can sing, right?
252
00:10:40,489 --> 00:10:42,458
I mean, a little.
253
00:10:42,459 --> 00:10:45,461
Like, I'm not... I'm not awful, right?
254
00:10:45,462 --> 00:10:47,629
Are you kidding me?
Those Beach Boys songs
255
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:49,498
you sing in the shower...
you kill it every time.
256
00:10:49,499 --> 00:10:51,667
I mean the good kind of kill, not the...
257
00:10:51,668 --> 00:10:54,870
Well, because there's this sort
of silly thing at work, but I...
258
00:10:54,871 --> 00:10:56,739
- Mom, you're tone deaf.
- What?!
259
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:59,008
- What?!
- Yeah. S-Sorry.
260
00:10:59,009 --> 00:11:00,709
- (alarm sounds, phone buzzes)
- But that's like...
261
00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:02,878
two percent of the population.
262
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,347
HENRY: You sound great to me. _
263
00:11:05,348 --> 00:11:06,582
(sighs): Oh.
264
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:08,217
I have to go.
265
00:11:08,218 --> 00:11:09,485
I love you.
266
00:11:09,486 --> 00:11:10,853
ALISON: Love you. Sorry.
267
00:11:10,854 --> 00:11:12,221
- Bye.
- I love your singing.
268
00:11:12,222 --> 00:11:14,623
You know, Dad, it's cruel to lie to her.
269
00:11:14,624 --> 00:11:16,091
I heard that.
270
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:17,760
♪
271
00:11:17,761 --> 00:11:20,662
ELIZABETH: Morning. I heard about
the vice president... is he okay?
272
00:11:20,663 --> 00:11:22,164
Yeah, as far as I know.
273
00:11:22,165 --> 00:11:23,966
He's being prepped for surgery.
274
00:11:23,967 --> 00:11:25,768
That's not what you're here about.
275
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:27,202
What, then?
276
00:11:27,203 --> 00:11:29,503
Air Force One is missing.
277
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,009
- What do you mean?
- We lost all communication
278
00:11:34,010 --> 00:11:36,445
somewhere over the Pacific...
we can't find it.
279
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:38,347
When did we last make contact?
280
00:11:38,348 --> 00:11:41,250
Half an hour ago, then they
suddenly went offline.
281
00:11:41,251 --> 00:11:45,052
They're out of radar range, so
we have no idea what happened.
282
00:11:45,721 --> 00:11:47,289
Where are we?
283
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:50,659
We're scrambling the F-15's out
of Hickam Field in Honolulu.
284
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:54,463
They're about two hours
out of making visual contact.
285
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:55,964
All communication's down.
286
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:57,266
What could knock all that out?
287
00:11:57,267 --> 00:11:58,667
Nothing, ma'am.
288
00:11:58,668 --> 00:11:59,735
Obviously something.
289
00:11:59,736 --> 00:12:01,136
A cyber attack... hijackers who knew
290
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:02,704
- what they were doing.
- All due respect,
291
00:12:02,705 --> 00:12:04,339
the communications
system on Air Force One
292
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:05,941
is the most sophisticated in the world.
293
00:12:05,942 --> 00:12:07,876
It's got firewalls
in front of firewalls,
294
00:12:07,877 --> 00:12:09,478
and every kind of
backup you can imagine.
295
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:12,047
All of it is designed so
that this cannot happen.
296
00:12:12,048 --> 00:12:14,183
And yet this has happened.
297
00:12:14,184 --> 00:12:16,684
Then the plane has crashed.
298
00:12:17,219 --> 00:12:18,554
There's no evidence of that.
299
00:12:18,555 --> 00:12:19,721
(sighs)
300
00:12:19,722 --> 00:12:22,424
ELIZABETH: How long can we expect
301
00:12:22,425 --> 00:12:24,526
to control intelligence around this?
302
00:12:24,527 --> 00:12:27,529
I mean, there's dozens of
reporters on that plane
303
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:29,765
- who've suddenly gone dark?
- We've reached out
304
00:12:29,766 --> 00:12:32,534
to their editors, told them
the Wi-Fi is temporarily down.
305
00:12:32,535 --> 00:12:35,871
They've agreed not to report it,
but I don't know for how long.
306
00:12:35,872 --> 00:12:37,840
The Pentagon has taken us to DEFCON 3.
307
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:39,274
And I think we should consider
308
00:12:39,275 --> 00:12:40,843
the decapitation strike scenario.
309
00:12:40,844 --> 00:12:43,879
Someone is trying to take down
the top tier of our government
310
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,814
- in one swoop.
- It's being considered.
311
00:12:45,815 --> 00:12:48,450
The president and the vice president
suddenly out of commission at the same time?
312
00:12:48,451 --> 00:12:50,584
That's why it's being considered!
313
00:12:54,456 --> 00:12:58,227
Sir, I think it's time to
discuss the line of succession.
314
00:12:58,228 --> 00:13:01,128
Are we at worst-case scenario?
315
00:13:02,664 --> 00:13:04,566
Whatever's going on,
316
00:13:04,567 --> 00:13:06,702
we need an acting president.
317
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:10,038
Has anyone reached out to the
Speaker of the House yet?
318
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:11,907
He's on Air Force One.
319
00:13:11,908 --> 00:13:13,242
He and the prime minister
320
00:13:13,243 --> 00:13:16,111
were college buddies, so
he went to the funeral.
321
00:13:16,112 --> 00:13:18,580
Was his itinerary public knowledge?
322
00:13:18,581 --> 00:13:20,916
There was no reason to hide it.
323
00:13:20,917 --> 00:13:22,251
Okay,
324
00:13:22,252 --> 00:13:24,386
let's convene the National
Security Council,
325
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:26,021
get the Chief Justice down here.
326
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,923
Pro Tempore of the
Senate is next in line.
327
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:34,962
(low, indistinct conversation)
328
00:13:37,699 --> 00:13:39,168
Elizabeth...
329
00:13:39,169 --> 00:13:41,503
do you know the Chief Justice?
330
00:13:41,504 --> 00:13:43,972
- Madam Secretary.
- Yes, I...
331
00:13:43,973 --> 00:13:45,707
I actually took
332
00:13:45,708 --> 00:13:47,576
your constitutional law class at UVA.
333
00:13:47,577 --> 00:13:49,210
(chuckles)
334
00:13:50,212 --> 00:13:52,214
(whispers): I got an "A."
335
00:13:52,215 --> 00:13:53,782
(whispers): I remember.
336
00:13:53,783 --> 00:13:55,551
Madam Secretary, excuse me.
337
00:13:55,552 --> 00:13:58,220
I was hoping to come by and
bid my farewell today,
338
00:13:58,221 --> 00:14:00,522
so I'll just do that now.
Heck of a way
339
00:14:00,523 --> 00:14:02,624
to spend my last day as
National Security Advisor.
340
00:14:02,625 --> 00:14:04,259
What do you mean? You're resigning?
341
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,128
Yes. I gave my notice last week.
342
00:14:06,129 --> 00:14:08,530
- You must have heard.
- I had no idea
343
00:14:08,531 --> 00:14:10,933
- that it was official.
- Afraid so.
344
00:14:10,934 --> 00:14:12,634
My wife has some health issues.
345
00:14:12,635 --> 00:14:14,436
I'm very sorry to hear that.
346
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:15,637
Thank you.
347
00:14:15,638 --> 00:14:18,072
It's been a pleasure to serve.
348
00:14:18,674 --> 00:14:20,609
Senator Gates and his staff are here.
349
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:23,946
Well, it's been some time since
I found myself in this room.
350
00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:25,948
Senator Gates, you are, uh, familiar
351
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,983
with the members of the
National Security Council?
352
00:14:27,984 --> 00:14:29,518
Oh, yes, yes, of course.
353
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:31,954
Yes, yes, uh, very, very
unfortunate circumstances
354
00:14:31,955 --> 00:14:33,855
that we have to meet under.
355
00:14:33,856 --> 00:14:36,091
Uh, do we have any news?
356
00:14:36,092 --> 00:14:38,527
No. We are still out of communication
357
00:14:38,528 --> 00:14:40,429
with Air Force One, but
measures are being taken
358
00:14:40,430 --> 00:14:41,630
to upgrade the status.
359
00:14:41,631 --> 00:14:43,832
Oh, well, I guess in the meantime, then,
360
00:14:43,833 --> 00:14:46,034
we need an acting president, mm-hmm.
361
00:14:46,035 --> 00:14:48,937
In accordance with the
Succession Act of 1947,
362
00:14:48,938 --> 00:14:50,772
that would be you, Senator.
363
00:14:50,773 --> 00:14:54,843
Right, well, then, uh...
let's proceed, shall we?
364
00:14:54,844 --> 00:14:56,979
The Chief Justice will administer the oath.
365
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,380
Uh, oh, here.
366
00:14:58,381 --> 00:15:01,049
It's a formality, but you will also need
367
00:15:01,050 --> 00:15:02,251
to resign your position
368
00:15:02,252 --> 00:15:03,252
in the senate.
369
00:15:03,253 --> 00:15:04,553
(chuckles): Uh, n... no way.
370
00:15:04,554 --> 00:15:06,521
No, I never agreed to that, mm-mm.
371
00:15:06,522 --> 00:15:08,790
No, no, no, it's-it's, uh, just protocol.
372
00:15:08,791 --> 00:15:10,125
You'll resume your seat
373
00:15:10,126 --> 00:15:12,160
- once the president returns.
- Mm.
374
00:15:12,161 --> 00:15:14,596
Oh, all right, right.
The president will come back.
375
00:15:14,597 --> 00:15:17,899
(chuckles) I mean, he survived
one assassination attempt.
376
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,102
He's hard to kill. Hm.
377
00:15:20,103 --> 00:15:22,838
Wh... What do you mean, Senator?
378
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:25,807
What do you think I mean? Talking
about that Charles Manson lady.
379
00:15:25,808 --> 00:15:28,142
Tried to shoot him.
380
00:15:28,777 --> 00:15:31,480
Well, that was President Ford.
381
00:15:31,481 --> 00:15:33,649
Ah. Of course, you're right.
382
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:35,183
I meant Hinckley.
383
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:37,885
Where do I sign?
384
00:15:40,722 --> 00:15:42,424
Um...
385
00:15:42,425 --> 00:15:44,960
actually, Senator,
386
00:15:44,961 --> 00:15:48,597
- Mm-hmm?
- I-I believe it is also protocol...
387
00:15:48,598 --> 00:15:52,434
you have to state the...
388
00:15:52,435 --> 00:15:54,670
full name of the current president.
389
00:15:54,671 --> 00:15:56,538
- For the record.
- Of course. Sure.
390
00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,606
Ronald Wilson Reagan.
391
00:15:59,241 --> 00:16:01,376
I'm sorry.
392
00:16:01,377 --> 00:16:03,378
Could we ask the senator to...
393
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:04,646
step outside
394
00:16:04,647 --> 00:16:06,348
- Hmm?
- just for a moment wh-while we prepare?
395
00:16:06,349 --> 00:16:07,883
- Is that all right?
- That's fine.
396
00:16:07,884 --> 00:16:09,984
- Thank you.
- Sure.
397
00:16:13,288 --> 00:16:16,023

00:16:16,758 --> 00:16:18,794

series of mini strokes
399
00:16:18,795 --> 00:16:20,762
a few months ago, but we are
400
00:16:20,763 --> 00:16:23,432
working diligently to get
him through his final term.
401
00:16:23,433 --> 00:16:25,100
He has his good days and his bad days.
402
00:16:25,101 --> 00:16:26,935
But basically, he's incompetent?
403
00:16:26,936 --> 00:16:30,672
To take the oath of office for president?
404
00:16:30,673 --> 00:16:32,673

00:22:00,259 --> 00:22:03,461
- as possible.
- Sorry, Bess. You're right.
528
00:22:03,462 --> 00:22:06,464
- HENRY: Hi, guys. May I join you?
- Yes.
529
00:22:06,465 --> 00:22:08,400
Thanks.
530
00:22:08,401 --> 00:22:10,502
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
531
00:22:10,503 --> 00:22:13,104
Ivan was just lecturing me
on the Ukraine,
532
00:22:13,105 --> 00:22:14,506
his favorite pastime.
533
00:22:14,507 --> 00:22:17,542
I'm simply making the point
that the Russian involvement
534
00:22:17,543 --> 00:22:19,978
in the Ukraine, if there were any,
535
00:22:19,979 --> 00:22:21,446
is no different
536
00:22:21,447 --> 00:22:23,281
than the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan.
537
00:22:23,282 --> 00:22:26,618
So the economic sanctions
implemented against us
538
00:22:26,619 --> 00:22:28,353
is quite hypocritical.
539
00:22:28,354 --> 00:22:29,654
No offense.
540
00:22:29,655 --> 00:22:31,623
HENRY: Nobody asked my
opinion about taking action
541
00:22:31,624 --> 00:22:33,992
- in either one of those disputes.
- The world
542
00:22:33,993 --> 00:22:35,126
is a safer place
543
00:22:35,127 --> 00:22:36,795
if we stand united against
those splinter group
544
00:22:36,796 --> 00:22:38,230
who have more firepower
545
00:22:38,231 --> 00:22:40,265
than philosophy.
546
00:22:40,266 --> 00:22:41,633
Very poetic.
547
00:22:41,634 --> 00:22:45,637
Well, sorry to bore you and rush off,
548
00:22:45,638 --> 00:22:49,174
but, uh, Russia is playing Brazil.
549
00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:51,009
We will get creamed.
550
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:52,177
(chuckles)
551
00:22:52,178 --> 00:22:53,511
But still.
552
00:22:53,512 --> 00:22:55,847
(chuckling): Good luck.
553
00:22:55,848 --> 00:22:58,884
You're not a soccer fan, Dmitri?
554
00:22:58,885 --> 00:23:00,752
I prefer American football.
555
00:23:00,753 --> 00:23:02,020
Don't tell anyone.
556
00:23:02,021 --> 00:23:06,124
Ivan is pretty outspoken
about the situation in Ukraine.
557
00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:08,093
Well, that and anything else.
558
00:23:08,094 --> 00:23:11,396
Uh, he was... he was raised
in politics. His family
559
00:23:11,397 --> 00:23:13,198
are high-ranking officials
in the Kremlin.
560
00:23:13,199 --> 00:23:15,700
- Aren't you from a military family?
- Oh, yes,
561
00:23:15,701 --> 00:23:18,403
but my father was just
an Army field sergeant.
562
00:23:18,404 --> 00:23:20,272
He died in the Chechen conflict.
563
00:23:20,273 --> 00:23:22,540
Then there was my Georgian grandfather.
564
00:23:22,541 --> 00:23:24,341
Were you close with him?
565
00:23:25,310 --> 00:23:28,712
I found his stories amusing.
566
00:23:32,183 --> 00:23:34,519
This is the Football.
It's a remote device
567
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,589
that can authorize a nuclear
attack in the unlikely event
568
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:40,926
that we are required to do that.
569
00:23:40,927 --> 00:23:44,062
This is the Biscuit.
It's an authenticator card
570
00:23:44,063 --> 00:23:45,430
containing all the launching codes.
571
00:23:45,431 --> 00:23:46,932
That stays with you.
572
00:23:46,933 --> 00:23:48,767
The Football stays with the colonel,
573
00:23:48,768 --> 00:23:50,934
who is never far away.
574
00:23:51,569 --> 00:23:54,072
Thank you, Colonel.
575
00:23:54,073 --> 00:23:56,741
I hope we never work together.
576
00:23:56,742 --> 00:24:00,077
My hope as well, ma'am.
577
00:24:02,414 --> 00:24:03,782
(door opens)
578
00:24:03,783 --> 00:24:05,350
Until further notice,
579
00:24:05,351 --> 00:24:07,325
everything that's happening
here is classified.
580
00:24:07,326 --> 00:24:07,953
Of course.
581
00:24:07,954 --> 00:24:11,423
When order is restored, we'll...
figure out how to report it.
582
00:24:11,424 --> 00:24:14,059
In the meantime, we have to
be able to trust your staff.
583
00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:16,194
Well, I don't have any concerns there.
584
00:24:16,195 --> 00:24:17,696
Well, give them as little as possible.
585
00:24:17,697 --> 00:24:20,732
No mention of a decapitation strike.
586
00:24:20,733 --> 00:24:23,601
As far as we're concerned, it's
a perfect storm of bad luck.
587
00:24:23,602 --> 00:24:26,905
And when equilibrium is restored
588
00:24:26,906 --> 00:24:28,840
and I have my old job back,
589
00:24:28,841 --> 00:24:30,742
I'll give you my list of candidates
590
00:24:30,743 --> 00:24:33,111
for National Security Advisor.
591
00:24:33,112 --> 00:24:35,580
You neglected to tell me
Darren is resigning.
592
00:24:35,581 --> 00:24:37,949
Ah, sorry.
593
00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:39,617
His wife has...
594
00:24:39,618 --> 00:24:41,286
health issues.
595
00:24:41,287 --> 00:24:43,921
So he said.
596
00:24:45,557 --> 00:24:47,759
Is there some...
597
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,694
reason why I was kept out of the loop?
598
00:24:51,329 --> 00:24:53,531
We were hoping to change his mind.
599
00:24:53,532 --> 00:24:56,401
This really can wait. I-I should
get back to the Sit Room.
600
00:24:56,402 --> 00:24:58,802
Of course.
601
00:24:59,571 --> 00:25:01,539
It goes without saying,
602
00:25:01,540 --> 00:25:04,342
but you are just warming that chair.
603
00:25:04,343 --> 00:25:06,244
Absolutely.
604
00:25:06,245 --> 00:25:08,847
Call if you need anything.
605
00:25:08,848 --> 00:25:10,849
Can you send them in?
606
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:13,684
My staff.
607
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:16,520
Sure.
608
00:25:27,298 --> 00:25:29,334
Would you like this closed, ma'am?
609
00:25:29,335 --> 00:25:31,301
Uh, yes, please.
610
00:25:35,006 --> 00:25:38,163
You better sit down.
611
00:25:44,606 --> 00:25:47,242
(birds chirping)
612
00:25:47,243 --> 00:25:49,610
(ducks quacking)
613
00:25:51,601 --> 00:25:54,236
Excuse me, Dr. McCord.
614
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:56,572
Is my wife okay?
615
00:25:56,573 --> 00:25:59,041
The secretary's fine, but you
need to come with us, sir.
616
00:25:59,042 --> 00:26:01,310
This way.
617
00:26:01,311 --> 00:26:04,180
I'll get started on your
statement, Madam President.
618
00:26:04,181 --> 00:26:05,260
- No statements.
- We're going with
619
00:26:05,261 --> 00:26:06,361
no comment, Madam President?
620
00:26:06,362 --> 00:26:08,296
Please stop saying "Madam President."
621
00:26:08,297 --> 00:26:10,399
- I can't.
- Please try.
622
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,402
Now, the only thing that
we are on record about
623
00:26:13,403 --> 00:26:16,104
is that the Wi-Fi is
down on Air Force One.
624
00:26:16,105 --> 00:26:18,440
I mean, obviously we
are in communication
625
00:26:18,441 --> 00:26:19,574
with the president.
626
00:26:19,575 --> 00:26:21,977
- DAISY: So lie?
- Yes, lie.
627
00:26:21,978 --> 00:26:23,678
In the interest of national security.
628
00:26:23,679 --> 00:26:26,281
You can imagine how the stock market
alone would react to the news,
629
00:26:26,282 --> 00:26:28,250
"We've misplaced the president."
630
00:26:28,251 --> 00:26:30,585
Um, should I inform
the deputy secretary,
631
00:26:30,586 --> 00:26:33,121
Madam President?
632
00:26:33,122 --> 00:26:35,123
I had to say it once.
633
00:26:35,124 --> 00:26:39,094
(sighs) Yes, but just...
634
00:26:39,095 --> 00:26:41,296
say I was called to the White House.
635
00:26:41,297 --> 00:26:43,565
Okay, are we assuming something
catastrophic has happened?
636
00:26:43,566 --> 00:26:44,966
I mean, is the president dead?
637
00:26:44,967 --> 00:26:45,934
Are we under attack?
638
00:26:45,935 --> 00:26:47,235
We're not assuming anything.
639
00:26:47,236 --> 00:26:49,771
Don't speculate.
640
00:26:49,772 --> 00:26:52,307
We'll know better in a couple of hours.
641
00:26:52,308 --> 00:26:56,044
Is there anything in my
actual office that needs
642
00:26:56,045 --> 00:26:58,480
- my immediate attention?
- Uh, Madam...
643
00:26:58,481 --> 00:27:00,881
Acting President?
644
00:27:01,516 --> 00:27:03,585
That's fine.
645
00:27:03,586 --> 00:27:05,587
I'm sorry to bring this up,
646
00:27:05,588 --> 00:27:08,023
but there is one pressing event
647
00:27:08,024 --> 00:27:09,458
- on your calendar today.
- (sighs)
648
00:27:09,459 --> 00:27:12,494
- The P.R.E.F. talent show.
- So we will have to
649
00:27:12,495 --> 00:27:15,197
provide a plausible
explanation for canceling.
650
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:16,832
No, we can't cancel.
651
00:27:16,833 --> 00:27:18,233
We can't change anything.
652
00:27:18,234 --> 00:27:20,302
We have to keep her
agenda exactly the same
653
00:27:20,303 --> 00:27:21,903
if we want to avoid global panic.
654
00:27:21,904 --> 00:27:23,605
- He's right.
- Okay.
655
00:27:23,606 --> 00:27:25,674
But in the interest of full disclosure,
656
00:27:25,675 --> 00:27:29,911
I did some research, and
apparently I'm the two percent.
657
00:27:29,912 --> 00:27:31,446
JAY: Considering our situation,
658
00:27:31,447 --> 00:27:32,981
ma'am, there's no way
659
00:27:32,982 --> 00:27:35,550
that your singing could be
worse than your not singing.
660
00:27:35,551 --> 00:27:38,086
I think it'll be a photo finish.
661
00:27:38,087 --> 00:27:40,055
But I'm willing to take the bullet.
662
00:27:40,056 --> 00:27:41,756
We need this trade
agreement to go through.
663
00:27:41,757 --> 00:27:43,391
Okay, if you guys really want to help,
664
00:27:43,392 --> 00:27:44,993
then you will focus on this
665
00:27:44,994 --> 00:27:47,796
and make it really good. In the interest
666
00:27:47,797 --> 00:27:52,234
of national security, you
won't let me humiliate myself.
667
00:27:52,235 --> 00:27:55,703
That's all. Thank you.
668
00:27:59,307 --> 00:28:01,376
Your family's here.
669
00:28:01,377 --> 00:28:03,278
We're taking them to the
Emergency Ops Center
670
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:04,746
in the basement of the East Wing.
671
00:28:04,747 --> 00:28:06,047
It's protocol until we know
672
00:28:06,048 --> 00:28:07,425
what's happening with the president.
673
00:28:07,426 --> 00:28:08,316
Can I see them?
674
00:28:08,317 --> 00:28:09,518
Yeah. Make it fast.
675
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:12,754
There's something, uh,
you need to know first.
676
00:28:12,755 --> 00:28:14,588
And it's awkward.
677
00:28:20,128 --> 00:28:22,297
(sighs)
678
00:28:22,298 --> 00:28:24,966
Mmm.
679
00:28:24,967 --> 00:28:26,968
You doing okay?
680
00:28:26,969 --> 00:28:28,236
I have no idea.
681
00:28:28,237 --> 00:28:30,205
- Any update?
- Not yet.
682
00:28:30,206 --> 00:28:31,806
Listen, did they tell you about Stevie?
683
00:28:31,807 --> 00:28:33,842
Yeah, she's here with Alison and Jason.
684
00:28:33,843 --> 00:28:36,111
When they found her,
she was with Harrison.
685
00:28:36,112 --> 00:28:37,946
In a hotel room.
686
00:28:37,947 --> 00:28:39,481
(sighs) What are they thinking?
687
00:28:39,482 --> 00:28:41,550
- They're not. They're young.
- That's not an excuse.
688
00:28:41,551 --> 00:28:43,919
I know. But it's gonna have to be today.
689
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,520
Right. Yeah, you're right.
690
00:28:45,521 --> 00:28:47,355
We got to be cool with her. We can't...
691
00:28:47,356 --> 00:28:49,324
wander into a big family argument.
692
00:28:49,325 --> 00:28:51,793
Exactly. But...
693
00:28:51,794 --> 00:28:53,662
You think I can't be cool?
694
00:28:53,663 --> 00:28:55,664
With the other kids, absolutely.
695
00:28:55,665 --> 00:28:57,966
You're Lou Reed.
696
00:28:57,967 --> 00:29:00,001
But when it comes to Stevie...
697
00:29:00,002 --> 00:29:01,036
What?
698
00:29:01,037 --> 00:29:02,270
She pushes your buttons.
699
00:29:02,271 --> 00:29:05,440
- I don't have buttons.
- Elizabeth.
700
00:29:05,441 --> 00:29:07,375
Fine. Maybe she won't bring it up.
701
00:29:07,376 --> 00:29:08,443
But if she does...
702
00:29:08,444 --> 00:29:10,145
- Lou Reed.
- I need you.
703
00:29:10,146 --> 00:29:12,914
Right. Think Velvet Underground.
704
00:29:12,915 --> 00:29:15,183
Of c... Obviously. I got this.
705
00:29:15,184 --> 00:29:16,885
Let's go.
706
00:29:16,886 --> 00:29:19,654
(sighs) Our jets are five minutes
away from Air Force One.
707
00:29:19,655 --> 00:29:21,856
Radar has confirmed that
the plane is on course,
708
00:29:21,857 --> 00:29:23,858
but there's still no
word from anyone inside.
709
00:29:23,859 --> 00:29:27,329
Working theory is that the
cabin has depressurized.
710
00:29:27,330 --> 00:29:30,232
- Everyone on board could be dead.
- It could be a ghost flight.
711
00:29:30,233 --> 00:29:33,134
Autopilot will keep it going
until it runs out of fuel.
712
00:29:33,135 --> 00:29:35,270
Yeah, and becomes a bomb
somewhere over the mainland.
713
00:29:35,271 --> 00:29:38,006
In that scenario, we need to handle it
714
00:29:38,007 --> 00:29:40,242
while it's over water.
715
00:29:40,243 --> 00:29:42,210
Your first act as president
716
00:29:42,211 --> 00:29:45,612
might be to shoot down Air Force One.
717
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:00,339
- (indistinct chatter)
- (door opens)
718
00:30:02,609 --> 00:30:04,377
- Ah, ah, ah.
- JACKSON: What have we got?
719
00:30:04,378 --> 00:30:06,946
The jets are approaching.
720
00:30:06,947 --> 00:30:08,248
They've made visual contact.
721
00:30:08,249 --> 00:30:10,183
PILOT: I've got movement
inside the cockpit.
722
00:30:10,184 --> 00:30:11,785
Definitely somebody alive in there.
723
00:30:11,786 --> 00:30:14,454
- Is that Colonel Romano?
- Affirmative, sir.
724
00:30:14,455 --> 00:30:17,589
He's communicating through Morse code.
725
00:30:18,224 --> 00:30:20,927
Communication... down.
726
00:30:20,928 --> 00:30:24,631
Navigation okay.
727
00:30:24,632 --> 00:30:28,368
A-S-A-F.
728
00:30:28,369 --> 00:30:29,736
A-S-A-F.
729
00:30:29,737 --> 00:30:31,337
All souls accounted for.
730
00:30:31,338 --> 00:30:32,939
JACKSON: How do we know he doesn't have
731
00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:34,074
a gun to his head?
732
00:30:34,075 --> 00:30:36,342
That last sentence is code, sir.
733
00:30:36,343 --> 00:30:38,611
He wouldn't have used it
if he had been in distress.
734
00:30:38,612 --> 00:30:40,613
We're clear.
735
00:30:40,614 --> 00:30:43,716
Ma'am, I'd like to recommend
landing at Hickam Field.
736
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:46,486
- The F-15s can escort them.
- Good.
737
00:30:46,487 --> 00:30:49,956
I want a completely secure hangar.
738
00:30:49,957 --> 00:30:52,325
And then we're gonna
take that plane apart,
739
00:30:52,326 --> 00:30:55,562
piece by piece, until we've
found out whatever caused this.
740
00:30:55,563 --> 00:30:56,696
Yes, ma'am.
741
00:30:56,697 --> 00:30:58,264
- Thank you.
- Bess,
742
00:30:58,265 --> 00:30:59,933
your tenure holds until we're back
743
00:30:59,934 --> 00:31:01,868
in direct communication
with the president.
744
00:31:01,869 --> 00:31:03,203
Understood.
745
00:31:03,204 --> 00:31:06,838
Nobody's breathing easy until
that plane touches down.
746
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:10,175
ALISON: Can't you give us any idea?
747
00:31:10,743 --> 00:31:13,446
They just said security concerns.
748
00:31:13,447 --> 00:31:16,082
Well, if it were nuclear,
we'd all be dead by now.
749
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:18,751
It's probably just another 9/11.
750
00:31:18,752 --> 00:31:21,020
Oh, no.
751
00:31:21,021 --> 00:31:22,822
I-I didn't mean "just"...
752
00:31:22,823 --> 00:31:24,290
Then don't say it, idiot.
753
00:31:24,291 --> 00:31:26,025
- I think we're okay, Noodle.
- (chuckles)
754
00:31:26,026 --> 00:31:28,827
By the way, he does know.
He just can't tell us.
755
00:31:32,665 --> 00:31:34,734
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
756
00:31:34,735 --> 00:31:36,335
Sure.
757
00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:44,444
Okay, I know that they told you
where they found me today.
758
00:31:44,445 --> 00:31:46,813
Honey, it's your life.
759
00:31:46,814 --> 00:31:48,114
You're an adult.
760
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:50,683
We can't interfere with
who you decide to date.
761
00:31:50,684 --> 00:31:52,685
Believe me, I learned my lesson there.
762
00:31:52,686 --> 00:31:55,321
So... don't worry about it, okay?
763
00:31:55,322 --> 00:31:58,358
(chuckles) We got enough going on today.
764
00:31:58,359 --> 00:32:00,827
I'm really glad that you feel that way.
765
00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:03,161
Um, I really need your help, actually.
766
00:32:05,498 --> 00:32:08,268
I have heroin in my pocket.
767
00:32:08,269 --> 00:32:09,469
You have what?
768
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:11,304
It fell out of the lining
of Harrison's jacket.
769
00:32:11,305 --> 00:32:13,373
And he swears that it
was just an old stash
770
00:32:13,374 --> 00:32:14,841
that he had forgotten about.
771
00:32:14,842 --> 00:32:17,877
And we were arguing about it
when the Secret Service came in.
772
00:32:17,878 --> 00:32:20,013
I panicked. I didn't know what to do.
773
00:32:20,014 --> 00:32:21,681
I slipped it in my pocket.
Now we're here.
774
00:32:21,682 --> 00:32:23,816
- I didn't have time to flush it...
- Are you out of your mind?
775
00:32:23,817 --> 00:32:26,452
In all the world, you choose
776
00:32:26,453 --> 00:32:28,621
an addict and not just any addict,
777
00:32:28,622 --> 00:32:30,823
the son of your mother's boss,
778
00:32:30,824 --> 00:32:33,074
who happens to be the
President of the United States.
779
00:32:33,075 --> 00:32:33,793
Dad...
780
00:32:33,794 --> 00:32:37,697
This is the only guy for you?
781
00:32:37,698 --> 00:32:39,966
You are gonna have to face the fact
782
00:32:39,967 --> 00:32:41,734
that something is compelling you
783
00:32:41,735 --> 00:32:44,103
to make the world's most
irresponsible decisions.
784
00:32:44,104 --> 00:32:46,906
It is wrong for you to date
someone this early in recovery.
785
00:32:46,907 --> 00:32:49,108
It's gonna hurt him,
and it's gonna hurt you.
786
00:32:49,109 --> 00:32:52,845
Can't you just get out of
your own way for a change?
787
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:55,247
Get out of your mother's way.
788
00:33:00,186 --> 00:33:04,256
Peer Mediator's looking
pretty good now, huh?
789
00:33:05,558 --> 00:33:07,227
Unemployment figures
are coming out tomorrow,
790
00:33:07,228 --> 00:33:10,530
so I kept the president's
morning pretty light.
791
00:33:10,531 --> 00:33:12,031
How are the projections?
792
00:33:12,032 --> 00:33:14,167
Good, but I never trust them.
793
00:33:14,168 --> 00:33:15,602
I'm almost finished
794
00:33:15,603 --> 00:33:17,637
with the roster of Air Force One.
795
00:33:17,638 --> 00:33:20,607
Are we contacting the families
once they've touched down?
796
00:33:20,608 --> 00:33:22,408
Uh, I can handle that.
797
00:33:22,409 --> 00:33:23,843
One other question.
798
00:33:23,844 --> 00:33:27,814
Why is Craig Sterling on board?
799
00:33:27,815 --> 00:33:30,617
He was meeting with the president.
800
00:33:30,618 --> 00:33:33,453
Do you know him?
801
00:33:33,454 --> 00:33:35,488
He was at the defense department
802
00:33:35,489 --> 00:33:37,824
when I was at the CIA.
Yeah, you could say that
803
00:33:37,825 --> 00:33:39,759
- our paths crossed.
- What do you make of him?
804
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,296
Nakedly ambitious,
self-serving obstructionist,
805
00:33:43,297 --> 00:33:45,431
all suit and no substance.
806
00:33:45,432 --> 00:33:47,533
But other than that, I'm a fan.
807
00:33:47,534 --> 00:33:50,136
I know he's on the short list
808
00:33:50,137 --> 00:33:51,971
for national security advisor.
809
00:33:51,972 --> 00:33:55,275
Not anymore.
810
00:33:55,276 --> 00:33:57,477
He's accepted the position.
811
00:33:57,478 --> 00:34:00,146
When?
812
00:34:00,147 --> 00:34:01,614
Yesterday.
813
00:34:01,615 --> 00:34:04,984
I can't believe Conrad
would make that appointment
814
00:34:04,985 --> 00:34:06,486
without consulting
815
00:34:06,487 --> 00:34:08,321
- with me.
- That's his prerogative.
816
00:34:08,322 --> 00:34:10,323
What's going on?
817
00:34:10,324 --> 00:34:12,592
Is this some kind of
reelection strategy?
818
00:34:12,593 --> 00:34:14,360
That's not the kind of decision
819
00:34:14,361 --> 00:34:17,130
- you shut the secretary of state out of.
- Don't be paranoid.
820
00:34:17,131 --> 00:34:19,532
The NSA is practically my counterpart
821
00:34:19,533 --> 00:34:21,100
on matters of foreign policy.
822
00:34:21,101 --> 00:34:23,236
He can't just force that decision on me.
823
00:34:23,237 --> 00:34:25,004
The President of the United States
824
00:34:25,005 --> 00:34:27,172
can do whatever the hell he wants.
825
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,208
(sighs)
826
00:34:31,811 --> 00:34:33,946
(laughs softly)
827
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:36,381
You know what? You're absolutely right.
828
00:34:38,651 --> 00:34:40,653
You can go now.
829
00:34:40,654 --> 00:34:42,555
Excuse me?
830
00:34:42,556 --> 00:34:45,624
Go. Now.
831
00:35:03,824 --> 00:35:06,229
The pardon attorney
says everything is in order
832
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:09,099
and that the president needs to
sign in just these two places.
833
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:10,867
And the papers don't
have to be processed?
834
00:35:10,868 --> 00:35:12,102
No, ma'am.
835
00:35:12,103 --> 00:35:13,903
He says the minute the
signature is confirmed,
836
00:35:13,904 --> 00:35:15,271
it's a simple phone call.
837
00:35:15,272 --> 00:35:17,607
Erica James will be released from prison.
838
00:35:17,608 --> 00:35:19,976
And the order cannot be revoked?
839
00:35:19,977 --> 00:35:22,479
No, ma'am. It's an official
presidential pardon.
840
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,014
Your journalist will be home for dinner.
841
00:35:24,015 --> 00:35:25,281
Great.
842
00:35:25,282 --> 00:35:28,478
For what it's worth, I
applaud this action, ma'am.
843
00:35:28,479 --> 00:35:30,546
Thank you, Lucy.
844
00:35:30,547 --> 00:35:33,182
Well, it's reassuring to
know you don't knock on
845
00:35:33,183 --> 00:35:35,484
- the president's door, either.
- He's touched down.
846
00:35:35,485 --> 00:35:37,219
- Everyone is okay.
- Thank God.
847
00:35:37,220 --> 00:35:38,954
I'll take care of this
now, Madam President.
848
00:35:38,955 --> 00:35:40,222
Madam Secretary.
849
00:35:40,223 --> 00:35:42,357
Yes, sir.
850
00:35:42,358 --> 00:35:44,993
The, uh, initial sweep of the plane
851
00:35:44,994 --> 00:35:46,462
didn't turn up anything.
852
00:35:46,463 --> 00:35:48,997
NASA's reporting solar flares
853
00:35:48,998 --> 00:35:51,100
over that area. It's our
best guess right now.
854
00:35:51,101 --> 00:35:53,235
Thought that was impossible
on Air Force One.
855
00:35:53,236 --> 00:35:54,503
98%, which
856
00:35:54,504 --> 00:35:56,572
makes it more like highly improbable.
857
00:35:56,573 --> 00:35:59,308
Well, any idea
858
00:35:59,309 --> 00:36:01,543
on how we're gonna report on all this?
859
00:36:01,544 --> 00:36:03,846
Working on a strategy now. So, uh...
860
00:36:03,847 --> 00:36:07,382
what business was that? With Lucy.
861
00:36:07,383 --> 00:36:08,884
Oh, don't worry about it.
862
00:36:08,885 --> 00:36:11,887
The president can do
whatever the hell she wants.
863
00:36:11,888 --> 00:36:14,456
But you're not...
864
00:36:14,457 --> 00:36:16,123
But I was.
865
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:19,995
HENRY: I don't think Ivan is your guy.
866
00:36:19,996 --> 00:36:21,530
Why not?
867
00:36:21,531 --> 00:36:22,931
There's something...
868
00:36:22,932 --> 00:36:24,900
unstable in all that
869
00:36:24,901 --> 00:36:25,934
passionate rhetoric.
870
00:36:25,935 --> 00:36:27,636
He's not a complex thinker.
871
00:36:27,637 --> 00:36:30,372
I feel like his opinions are
a mile wide and an inch deep.
872
00:36:30,373 --> 00:36:33,075
Our team's been vetting
him for a while now,
873
00:36:33,076 --> 00:36:34,510
and they feel differently.
874
00:36:34,511 --> 00:36:36,612
I have someone better for you.
875
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:40,115
Dmitri Petrov.
876
00:36:40,116 --> 00:36:42,885
It's been my observation
that he has a better capacity
877
00:36:42,886 --> 00:36:44,887
for abstract thought,
a more analytical mind.
878
00:36:44,888 --> 00:36:46,955
He's quieter, more guarded,
879
00:36:46,956 --> 00:36:48,290
which means he's probably
880
00:36:48,291 --> 00:36:49,825
more discreet and disciplined.
881
00:36:49,826 --> 00:36:51,260
But what's his weakness?
882
00:36:51,261 --> 00:36:53,027
How can we get to him?
883
00:36:54,263 --> 00:36:56,165
His father died in Chechnya.
884
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:58,400
I sense some inner conflict around that.
885
00:36:58,401 --> 00:37:00,836
And his grandfather was Georgian.
886
00:37:00,837 --> 00:37:04,072
So there's a foundation
of counter-nationalism
887
00:37:04,073 --> 00:37:07,142
in his background I think
we could cultivate.
888
00:37:07,143 --> 00:37:08,877
It's a better way to go than
just blackmailing someone
889
00:37:08,878 --> 00:37:10,345
because of their sexuality.
890
00:37:10,346 --> 00:37:13,582
And I know you guys like to
exploit people's secrets, but
891
00:37:13,583 --> 00:37:17,019
I think it's an unreliable,
892
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:19,854
not to mention heinous, approach.
893
00:37:21,356 --> 00:37:23,091
You asked.
894
00:37:23,092 --> 00:37:24,526
That's my analysis.
895
00:37:24,527 --> 00:37:26,728
Mm.
896
00:37:26,729 --> 00:37:28,363
Then I want you to bring him in.
897
00:37:28,364 --> 00:37:29,665
You mean recruit him?
898
00:37:29,666 --> 00:37:31,099
And be his handler.
899
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,369
What? No, wait... No. I-I
have no experience with that.
900
00:37:34,370 --> 00:37:36,104
I wouldn't have signed up for it.
901
00:37:36,105 --> 00:37:37,639
Henry, we need this.
902
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,040
We believe you're the guy to do it.
903
00:37:42,778 --> 00:37:45,179
(indistinct conversations)
904
00:37:46,682 --> 00:37:48,716
The president's arrived.
905
00:37:53,055 --> 00:37:54,289
Elizabeth.
906
00:37:54,290 --> 00:37:56,291
It's nice to have you back, Mr. President.
907
00:37:56,292 --> 00:37:58,360
I wanted to thank you
for minding the store.
908
00:37:58,361 --> 00:38:00,429
My pleasure. Well...
909
00:38:00,430 --> 00:38:02,531
not really that, so much.
910
00:38:02,532 --> 00:38:05,534
I'm thrilled to relinquish the post.
911
00:38:05,535 --> 00:38:07,536
I saw your presidential pardon.
912
00:38:07,537 --> 00:38:09,771
I saw your national security
advisor appointment.
913
00:38:09,772 --> 00:38:12,740
All right. I'll give you that.
914
00:38:14,142 --> 00:38:16,612
Erica James really did
need to be released.
915
00:38:16,613 --> 00:38:18,814
Craig Sterling really is
the right man for the job.
916
00:38:18,815 --> 00:38:19,531
Mm.
917
00:38:19,532 --> 00:38:21,583
I'm sorry I couldn't let
you in on the discussion,
918
00:38:21,584 --> 00:38:24,620
but... I know you two have history
919
00:38:24,621 --> 00:38:26,154
and I couldn't get bogged down.
920
00:38:26,155 --> 00:38:28,390
With the secretary of state's opinion?
921
00:38:28,391 --> 00:38:30,891
I needed to make a move.
922
00:38:31,693 --> 00:38:34,763
Then I will do my best to work with him.
923
00:38:34,764 --> 00:38:36,298
Wanted to let you know that, uh,
924
00:38:36,299 --> 00:38:37,933
we released a statement to the press.
925
00:38:37,934 --> 00:38:40,369
We admitted to the
communications failure
926
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:42,104
and the world knows
927
00:38:42,105 --> 00:38:44,172
that you were on the
desk for a few hours.
928
00:38:44,173 --> 00:38:46,375
- Ah.
- As usual,
929
00:38:46,376 --> 00:38:49,211
your approval rating
is higher than mine.
930
00:38:49,212 --> 00:38:50,979
Well...
931
00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:52,748
we have a long road ahead of us.
932
00:38:52,749 --> 00:38:54,016
I could tank at any time.
933
00:38:54,017 --> 00:38:56,585
Like in about five minutes.
934
00:38:56,586 --> 00:38:58,953
Break a leg.
935
00:38:59,621 --> 00:39:02,090
(exhales heavily)
936
00:39:02,091 --> 00:39:03,558
(inhales deeply)
937
00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:05,260
So, you're...
938
00:39:05,261 --> 00:39:06,495
kind of a funny color.
939
00:39:06,496 --> 00:39:08,196
- Are you okay?
- I haven't fainted
940
00:39:08,197 --> 00:39:10,065
in the longest time.
What does it feel like?
941
00:39:10,066 --> 00:39:13,467
Let's find you some private space.
942
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:16,972
Madam Secretary, could...
943
00:39:16,973 --> 00:39:18,507
Oh, this doesn't look good.
944
00:39:18,508 --> 00:39:20,941
Madam Secretary, you okay?
945
00:39:24,813 --> 00:39:27,815
Yup, I am. I am okay.
946
00:39:28,817 --> 00:39:30,786
Just need to take a
look at those lyrics.
947
00:39:30,787 --> 00:39:33,021
Let's do this.
948
00:39:33,022 --> 00:39:35,290
How much time do I have?
949
00:39:35,291 --> 00:39:36,625
NADINE: Ten minutes.
950
00:39:36,626 --> 00:39:38,160
Or as long as you need.
951
00:39:38,161 --> 00:39:40,595
Mm. Okay. Okay.
952
00:39:40,596 --> 00:39:42,664
(humming a tune hoarsely)
953
00:39:42,665 --> 00:39:44,466
(humming, grunting)
954
00:39:44,467 --> 00:39:46,134
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
955
00:39:46,135 --> 00:39:48,170
- BLAKE: Okay, all right, here we go.
- NADINE: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
956
00:39:48,171 --> 00:39:49,971
Okay, it's all right, it's all right.
957
00:39:49,972 --> 00:39:52,407
We have a contingency plan.
958
00:39:52,408 --> 00:39:54,609
What is it?
959
00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:56,311

(mouthing)
1001
00:41:55,097 --> 00:41:57,999
- All right, so...
- (door opens)
1002
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,734
- ELIZABETH: Good night, you guys.
- Oh, look,
1003
00:41:59,735 --> 00:42:01,903
- oh, there she is.
- ALISON: Aah!
1004
00:42:01,904 --> 00:42:04,176
Oh, my God, you were president?
1005
00:42:04,177 --> 00:42:06,212
How could you not tell us?
1006
00:42:06,213 --> 00:42:07,152
Slipped my mind.
1007
00:42:07,153 --> 00:42:08,228
Seriously, what was that like?
1008
00:42:08,229 --> 00:42:09,395
It was exhausting.
1009
00:42:09,396 --> 00:42:10,763
Well, forget that.
What was the song like?
1010
00:42:10,764 --> 00:42:12,665
I'll tell you about it later.
How did it go with...
1011
00:42:12,666 --> 00:42:14,834
- Great.
- Okay, good.
1012
00:42:14,835 --> 00:42:16,602
Listen, I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed.
1013
00:42:16,603 --> 00:42:18,749
Jace, tell your teacher
you're getting an "A".
1014
00:42:18,750 --> 00:42:20,908
- ALISON: Good night.
- Erica James is coming home.
1015
00:42:20,909 --> 00:42:22,006
(phone beeps)
1016
00:42:24,443 --> 00:42:25,977
No.
1017
00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:28,586
_
1018
00:42:28,648 --> 00:42:30,782
Yes.
1019
00:42:32,752 --> 00:42:34,220
Sorry.
1020
00:42:34,221 --> 00:42:36,022
I know you've had a rough day.
1021
00:42:36,023 --> 00:42:37,957
Well, we all have.
1022
00:42:37,958 --> 00:42:40,793
But you need to be up to
speed on the situation.
1023
00:42:40,794 --> 00:42:43,429
We got the test results
back on the vice president.
1024
00:42:43,430 --> 00:42:44,764
No foul play.
1025
00:42:44,765 --> 00:42:46,497
He's fine.
1026
00:42:47,633 --> 00:42:50,735
That can't be why you called me in.
1027
00:42:52,471 --> 00:42:53,806
Come in.
1028
00:42:53,807 --> 00:42:56,275
Elizabeth, you know Craig Sterling.
1029
00:42:56,276 --> 00:42:58,244
Madam Secretary. It's been a few years.
1030
00:42:58,245 --> 00:43:00,646
Congratulations on your appointment.
1031
00:43:00,647 --> 00:43:04,150
Pretty sure I wasn't first on your list.
1032
00:43:04,151 --> 00:43:05,751
Why don't you
1033
00:43:05,752 --> 00:43:06,952
tell Elizabeth
1034
00:43:06,953 --> 00:43:09,555
what we know so far about Air Force One.
1035
00:43:09,556 --> 00:43:12,525
The system malfunction
wasn't a solar flare.
1036
00:43:12,526 --> 00:43:15,294
They found a piece of malware
on the plane... an incredibly
1037
00:43:15,295 --> 00:43:16,962
sophisticated virus that knocked out
1038
00:43:16,963 --> 00:43:19,331
every communication device.
1039
00:43:19,332 --> 00:43:22,034
This took planning,
1040
00:43:22,035 --> 00:43:25,271
resources and engineering.
1041
00:43:25,272 --> 00:43:27,206
It couldn't have been a single actor.
1042
00:43:27,207 --> 00:43:29,507
There had to be a major power behind it.
1043
00:43:32,311 --> 00:43:35,982
This was an act of war.
1044
00:43:36,695 --> 00:43:44,299
