1
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,231
How great is this?
2
00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:06,703
Fresh air and the endorphins.
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,239
Ooh, and the cute
little babies
4
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:10,468
- and dogs.
- Yeah.
5
00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:12,441
This puts everything
in perspective.
6
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:13,671
I ought to do this every day.
7
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,303
I swear, I don't
know why I don't.
8
00:00:15,448 --> 00:00:16,745
(breathing hard):
I need to stop.
9
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:18,748
We just started.
10
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,447
Gordon hates running.
11
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:24,750
Then why did Gordon
say "yes" to running?
12
00:00:24,891 --> 00:00:26,017
Because he's
insanely competitive?
13
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:27,023
What are you looking at?
14
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,320
(children laugh)
15
00:00:28,461 --> 00:00:32,261
And yet, here you are,
wallowing in defeat.
16
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,026
This is a hard thing
for me to watch.
17
00:00:34,167 --> 00:00:35,566
You'll get over it.
18
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:37,135
And I sense you need to
talk to me about something
19
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:38,464
that requires a working brain,
20
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:40,368
so I'd rather not
risk a stroke.
21
00:00:40,507 --> 00:00:42,702
Well, at least walk with me,
you big baby.
22
00:00:42,842 --> 00:00:46,175
Strangely turned on
by you abusing me.
23
00:00:46,312 --> 00:00:47,301
This is sensitive.
24
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:53,483
Something I haven't
read my staff in on.
25
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:55,485
MIKE:
Okay.
26
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:57,590
I'm starting to normalize, go.
27
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,659
Last time I saw
Foreign Minister Avdonin,
28
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:02,159
he proposed a trade with me.
29
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:04,160
- Do I need context?
- No.
30
00:01:04,297 --> 00:01:07,425
Peter Buckley
for an American asset
31
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:10,627
with a great deal of personal
significance to Henry and me.
32
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:12,829
Previously,
they told us he was dead.
33
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:15,099
Now they're saying he's not,
and we could get him back.
34
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:20,406
Now, I know the politics
of a trade can be complicated,
35
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:23,015
so I'm asking if you could
imagine a scenario
36
00:01:23,149 --> 00:01:25,777
where Dalton might
agree to that deal.
37
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:27,181
No.
Breakfast?
38
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,618
Come on.
39
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,121
You're really gonna make me
step this out for you?
40
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:34,317
First, to clarify,
Peter Buckley,
41
00:01:34,461 --> 00:01:36,258
the most notorious
American spy in history.
42
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:37,795
- Responsible for the deaths
- I know that.
43
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,228
Of six CIA agents,
44
00:01:39,365 --> 00:01:40,423
Two of whom, Dalton,
45
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,592
former Director of the CIA,
knew personally.
46
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:44,362
That Peter Buckley?
I'm sorry,
47
00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:45,596
I actually do need context
48
00:01:45,738 --> 00:01:47,330
as to why you would
ask me anything so stupid.
49
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:49,635
Because it is
incredibly important,
50
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:51,266
and there's a clock on it.
51
00:01:51,411 --> 00:01:52,776
You really made me
step that out?
52
00:01:52,912 --> 00:01:55,107
Okay. Even if Dalton
would consider it,
53
00:01:55,248 --> 00:01:57,409
Russell Jackson would throw his
body in front of that train.
54
00:01:57,550 --> 00:01:58,482
Making a trade like that
55
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,085
with the Russians,
in an election year?
56
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:02,245
Even if you had monkey
pictures on both of them,
57
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:03,946
- and got them to agree,
- What are monkey pictures?
58
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:06,149
I highly doubt your prisoner
exchange is even legitimate.
59
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:08,522
If you think your asset
is dead, he's probably dead.
60
00:02:08,661 --> 00:02:09,719
But by even
61
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:11,728
considering a trade
for Buckley,
62
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:13,799
you've revealed your
attachment to your asset.
63
00:02:13,933 --> 00:02:15,901
Now, Avdonin's using
that to his advantage,
64
00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:17,559
claiming this dead
person is alive
65
00:02:17,704 --> 00:02:19,069
without having
to provide any proof.
66
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:21,002
So brilliant negotiating
strategy there.
67
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:22,665
I he... I hear you,
68
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:25,676
when you say you think
this is a terrible idea.
69
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:29,511
But I haven't had
a moment's peace
70
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,583
since I realized
this was possible.
71
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:34,016
I have to try.
72
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:36,714
Can't... can't you
just do your thing...
73
00:02:36,856 --> 00:02:39,723
to find out exactly how
suicidal this mission is?
74
00:02:39,859 --> 00:02:41,053
I guess I could talk to some
75
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:42,422
of my data-wonk
pollster friends,
76
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:43,961
and see what
the favorability stats
77
00:02:44,097 --> 00:02:45,394
would be on a Buckley trade.
78
00:02:45,532 --> 00:02:47,329
And it has been
almost 20 years
79
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:48,934
and people are idiots.
80
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:50,399
Long-term memory
is at an all-time low,
81
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:51,970
so we've got
that going for us.
82
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:53,265
Well, see?
83
00:02:53,406 --> 00:02:55,397
Things are looking up already.
84
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:57,469
(sighs deeply)
85
00:02:57,610 --> 00:02:59,168
- HENRY: Hey, babe.
- Hey.
86
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:00,370
Hey, Mom.
How was your run?
87
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:02,572
It was great.
I feel so clean
88
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:04,910
and healthy and (gasps)
Waffles!?
89
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:06,040
Yeah, Dad fixed
the waffle iron.
90
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:07,050
Yes!
91
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,051
It just needed a new switch.
92
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:09,780
And he built a firepit
in the backyard.
93
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:11,322
I dug a hole
and put some bricks around it.
94
00:03:11,457 --> 00:03:12,424
(laughs):
What?
95
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:13,821
Course, the Secret Service
won't let us use it.
96
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,757
- Aw...
- And now he's talking mini-golf.
97
00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:20,093
Ho! So this is Henry McCord
on sabbatical, huh?
98
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:21,291
I'm enjoying the time.
99
00:03:21,434 --> 00:03:22,924
It doesn't happen that often.
100
00:03:23,069 --> 00:03:24,764
And come on,
we love mini-golf.
101
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:26,030
It was a Friday night
thing for like...
102
00:03:26,172 --> 00:03:27,196
A summer.
103
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:28,534
Two summers, at least.
104
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:29,664
You sure have been jazzed
105
00:03:29,809 --> 00:03:31,276
about all these life-affirming
activities
106
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:32,708
since your weekend
with a think tank
107
00:03:32,845 --> 00:03:33,903
- in San Diego.
- I've got the time off.
108
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:35,071
I think I should
take advantage of it.
109
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:36,239
So, come on,
110
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:38,077
who's in?
Mini-golf tonight.
111
00:03:39,118 --> 00:03:40,016
Um, I can't.
112
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,814
I have to see Jareth tonight.
113
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:44,321
'Cause he just accepted a...
114
00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:45,719
two-year fellowship in Oxford,
115
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:47,883
so we have to talk about
how we're going to do the...
116
00:03:48,027 --> 00:03:49,824
- long-distance thing.
- ELIZABETH: Gosh,
117
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:51,863
honey, that... that's rough,
but you know what?
118
00:03:51,998 --> 00:03:53,090
Your dad and I did it.
119
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:54,632
- A lot of people do it.
- ELIZABETH: Yeah.
120
00:03:54,767 --> 00:03:55,961
You'll-you'll figure it out.
121
00:03:56,102 --> 00:03:57,626
Hey, uh, you know what would
really clear your minds,
122
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:59,362
- Give you some perspective...
Mini-golf. - Don't... Dad.
123
00:03:59,505 --> 00:04:01,029
I'm serious.
Ask Jareth.
124
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:02,471
He's British.
He's got to like golf.
125
00:04:02,609 --> 00:04:03,337
Mini-golf.
126
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:04,841
Hey, help me out.
127
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,036
Alison, Jason?
128
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:07,646
- All right, fine. I'm in.
- Yeah, me, too.
129
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:09,475
- I'll ask him.
- Joe and Mimma's after
130
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:11,277
- for gooey calzones, yeah?
- They bought.
131
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:12,475
Stop selling.
132
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:14,280
Well, they'll get into it
once we're there.
133
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:15,751
I'm sure.
134
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:21,322
So aside from fixing
the waffle iron,
135
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:23,088
and building a firepit,
136
00:04:23,229 --> 00:04:24,696
and obsessing about mini-golf,
137
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:27,129
everything okay
post-Islamabad?
138
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,928
It's fine.
139
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,229
'Cause, you know,
we could always go back
140
00:04:31,371 --> 00:04:33,100
and see Dr. Sherman.
141
00:04:33,239 --> 00:04:35,036
Honestly, I just want
to immerse myself
142
00:04:35,174 --> 00:04:37,142
in mindless activities
for a while.
143
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,437
Okay.
144
00:04:39,846 --> 00:04:41,677
Not counting on me
for mini-golf, are you?
145
00:04:41,814 --> 00:04:43,509
Uh, after the last time,
I don't think
146
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:44,844
you're allowed back there,
'cause you threw...
147
00:04:44,984 --> 00:04:46,383
I did not throw that club.
148
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:47,781
- I... I...
- All... all right.
149
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,285
- Was gesturing and it slipped.
- Yeah, tell that
150
00:04:49,422 --> 00:04:50,889
- My hands were wet.
- To the lady who's...
151
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:52,958
- I think it was raining.
- We'll miss you.
152
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:55,688
JAY:
Our intel is that
153
00:04:55,828 --> 00:04:57,853
all remnants of Hizb al-Shahid
have gone underground.
154
00:04:57,997 --> 00:04:59,828
Even the remaining
stolen uranium
155
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,957
has been found and seized
by American forces.
156
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:03,193
Yeah, their press releases
157
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:06,237
are all full of optimism,
and national pride.
158
00:05:06,372 --> 00:05:08,397
Global response
has been positive,
159
00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:10,236
with just a handful
of the usual suspects
160
00:05:10,376 --> 00:05:11,866
grumbling about U.S. Aggression.
161
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:14,912
From a polling data and optics
perspective, we're on course.
162
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,243
Okay. Good. Um,
163
00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:18,782
No Matt, today?
164
00:05:18,918 --> 00:05:20,351
Commencement season.
He's holed up.
165
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:23,922
Apparently, he's agreed
to write six speeches this year.
166
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:25,456
Yeah, including mine.
167
00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:27,991
Oh, who are
the lucky graduates?
168
00:05:28,127 --> 00:05:29,116
UMASS Pittsfield.
169
00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:32,831
They have quite a respected
foreign policy program.
170
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:33,829
And they asked first.
171
00:05:33,966 --> 00:05:35,456
The Secretary's a big fan
of "asked first."
172
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:37,899
Was that Dr. McCord's
strategy, ma'am?
173
00:05:38,037 --> 00:05:40,437
(laughs)
Possibly.
174
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:41,801
I have an appointment.
175
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,672
It's personal.
Spontaneous.
176
00:05:44,811 --> 00:05:45,937
Whimsical, even.
177
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,047
It's fine.
I'm reachable.
178
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,579
I know what that is.
179
00:05:53,619 --> 00:05:54,813
- Madam Secretary.
- Yeah.
180
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:55,978
Oh, you're leaving?
181
00:05:56,122 --> 00:05:57,180
I'll be back.
182
00:05:57,323 --> 00:05:58,381
I was working on your
commencement speech,
183
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,082
and I was hoping
you could give me
184
00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:01,284
some personal anecdote
185
00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:03,418
that-that proffers
some nugget of wisdom
186
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:04,825
that we could give the kids.
187
00:06:04,964 --> 00:06:07,956
Uh, saving the Pacific Rim
Trade Agreement, for example.
188
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,466
Détente with Russia.
189
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:10,830
Dropping the embargo
with Cuba.
190
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:12,403
I mean, there's a lot
of good options.
191
00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,096
Yeah, I-I-I don't know
if any of that
192
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,299
really jibes
with my overall message.
193
00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:17,773
You have an overall message?
194
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,606
I don't know. Do I?
195
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:22,874
I'm just data-gathering,
but I'm open to your ideas.
196
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:25,176
I... let me...
let me mull it over.
197
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:27,377
See if I can come up
with a message,
198
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,147
or even a theme.
199
00:06:29,288 --> 00:06:31,256
Ooh, a theme
would be awesome.
200
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:33,416
Oh, what about
the chrysalis thing?
201
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,959
A caterpillar
into the butterfly?
202
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:38,325
Are you messing with me?
203
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:41,024
(bell tolling slowly)
204
00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:43,067
ELIZABETH:
Anton, thank you for agreeing
205
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:45,602
to meet on short notice.
206
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,968
ANTON: The last time we did
this, it worked out.
207
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:49,904
ELIZABETH:
It did. Those boys
208
00:06:50,042 --> 00:06:52,510
made it safely home
from Syria. Thank you.
209
00:06:52,645 --> 00:06:56,513
You're still a
cultural attaché, huh?
210
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:57,638
Yes.
211
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,411
The work itself is quite dull,
212
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:02,817
but the quality of life
makes it all worthwhile.
213
00:07:02,955 --> 00:07:07,016
Katarina got into Harvard,
early action.
214
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,650
Congratulations.
215
00:07:10,229 --> 00:07:11,560
I need information
216
00:07:11,697 --> 00:07:15,155
on a Russian army captain,
Dmitri Petrov.
217
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:17,861
Officially,
he died from a fever
218
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:19,835
he contracted while
stationed in Ukraine
219
00:07:19,972 --> 00:07:21,496
- during the conflict.
- Yes.
220
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:24,041
Officially, that is how
every Russian soldier
221
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,941
who died at the front
met his fate.
222
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,104
Our young men are
impervious to bullets,
223
00:07:29,248 --> 00:07:31,842
but, sadly, suffer
from weak lungs.
224
00:07:31,984 --> 00:07:33,781
I have reason to believe
he's still alive,
225
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,115
but I need hard evidence.
Incontrovertible.
226
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:37,586
And why do you care so much
227
00:07:37,723 --> 00:07:39,588
about this particular
Russian army captain?
228
00:07:41,894 --> 00:07:43,885
I know you do realize
that I'm friends
229
00:07:44,030 --> 00:07:45,395
with the dean of admission
at Harvard.
230
00:07:45,531 --> 00:07:49,831
I'm sure Katarina got in
on her own merits,
231
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,062
but you did list me
as a reference,
232
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:56,471
and I had some free time,
and I made a call.
233
00:07:56,609 --> 00:08:00,340
I will do my best,
Madam Secretary.
234
00:08:02,281 --> 00:08:03,509
Thank you.

(music playing,
golf ball plinking into cup)
237
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:14,592
HENRY: Have anything like this
in the UK, Jareth?
238
00:08:14,727 --> 00:08:15,785
JARETH (chuckles):
No, sir.
239
00:08:15,928 --> 00:08:17,225
Golf"s quite
a serious pursuit over there.
240
00:08:17,363 --> 00:08:19,058
STEVIE:
It's fine to think it's goofy.
241
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:20,665
Part of its charm.
242
00:08:26,472 --> 00:08:28,167
Your turn, dingus. Go.
243
00:08:28,307 --> 00:08:29,774
Um, I'll pass on this one.
244
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:30,898
I know those guys
from school.
245
00:08:31,043 --> 00:08:32,374
But what about your score?
246
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:33,376
What was?
247
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,208
It's already the size
of the national debt.
248
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:36,747
Let her go.
249
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:40,182
Hello, hole-in-one.
250
00:08:40,319 --> 00:08:41,251
HENRY:
Oh, sorry.
251
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:49,986
You know what?
This is ridiculous.
252
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:51,187
The clowns and the windmills
253
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:52,228
and the jumping dolphins
254
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:53,457
are supposed to
convey an atmosphere
255
00:08:53,599 --> 00:08:54,998
of family fun,
while the game itself
256
00:08:55,134 --> 00:08:56,260
is just designed
to infuriate you.
257
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:58,563
Okay, look, just take
a deep breath. It's okay.
258
00:08:58,704 --> 00:09:00,968
- It's all right.
- I'm getting a snow cone.
259
00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:03,772
I counsel we skip this one.
260
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:05,605
Just give ourselves twos
and move on.
261
00:09:08,814 --> 00:09:10,611
Sorry, this isn't exactly the
kind of outing I'd planned.
262
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:11,944
No, it's fine.
I'm having a lovely time.
263
00:09:12,084 --> 00:09:13,381
Um, wh-while... while
I've got you a moment,
264
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,043
- there's something
I wanted to ask you. - Sure.
265
00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:17,018
Um, I know Stevie's
already told you
266
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:18,987
that I accepted
a fellowship at Oxford.
267
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:21,320
Yes. Oh, wow, I-I know
you're going to work
268
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:22,791
- the relationship part out.
- Yeah.
269
00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:24,726
Elizabeth and I did it
when I was in the Marines,
270
00:09:24,864 --> 00:09:26,388
and that was before Skype
and JetBlue and all that.
271
00:09:26,532 --> 00:09:27,396
Yeah, oh, oh,
272
00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:29,433
see, uh, uh,
about that, um...
273
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,662
see, the thing is,
Dr. McCord, um...
274
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:37,038
The thing is I'm hopelessly
in love with your daughter.
275
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:39,940
And I don't...
I don't want to imagine
276
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:43,071
my life without her. I...
277
00:09:43,215 --> 00:09:47,083
I don't want to go off to
Oxford without this settled,
278
00:09:47,219 --> 00:09:52,384
um, and so, I suppose,
I'm rather awkwardly, uh,
279
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:56,154
asking your blessing
to propose to her.
280
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:00,689
Propose...
281
00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:03,700
- Marriage?
- That's what I said.
282
00:10:03,836 --> 00:10:06,066
I mean, don't these kids
have other steps, first?
283
00:10:06,205 --> 00:10:07,570
- The way we did.
- I know.
284
00:10:07,707 --> 00:10:09,698
Like... living together.
285
00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:10,866
Breaking up,
286
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:12,944
- and living together.
- We didn't break up.
287
00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:15,047
I-I just needed
a little time to freak out.
288
00:10:15,181 --> 00:10:16,239
It was the worst
289
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:17,610
- five days of my life.
- Three.
290
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:20,446
Followed by the
greatest proposal ever.
291
00:10:20,586 --> 00:10:23,851
Yes, the discount skywriter.
292
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:25,821
"Mar Me Elibet."
293
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,220
Hey, it worked.
294
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,123
It did. But wait...
295
00:10:29,261 --> 00:10:30,956
So what did you say?
296
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:33,324
I said yes.
297
00:10:35,234 --> 00:10:36,394
Without talking to me?
298
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:39,095
Wow!
299
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:43,504
Did you guys just full-on
Edith Wharton this
300
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:46,237
and act like my voice
wasn't going to matter?
301
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:48,939
Did you negotiate a dowry?
302
00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:51,977
I-I... honestly, babe,
I was so stunned,
303
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:54,109
I might have actually
turned into an idiot.
304
00:10:54,253 --> 00:10:55,811
- Huh.
- It was really more E.M. Forster
305
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:57,616
'cause of the whole
English thing.
306
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:00,282
Look, it was just...
307
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,587
It's just a formality, anyway.
308
00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:04,787
He's gonna do what he wants.
309
00:11:04,930 --> 00:11:07,558
Well, what do we say
if she says yes?
310
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:08,894
I don't know.
311
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:12,903
He's such a great guy,
but they're so young.
312
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,564
That's what we say.
313
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:18,575
We love Jareth,
314
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:21,680
but we will love him
even more in two years.
315
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:24,339
Okay, let's just see
what happens.
316
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:26,280
It's just getting engaged.
317
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:27,613
Exactly, exactly.
318
00:11:27,753 --> 00:11:29,618
And they can take their
time getting married.
319
00:11:29,755 --> 00:11:33,953
I mean, some-some...
engagements go on forever.
320
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:36,618
My brother and Sophie?
321
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:38,957
(scoffs) Oh, yeah,
like, 15 years, right?
322
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:40,292
- (laughing): Yeah.
- Did they ever get married?
323
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:42,526
I don't know.
I think so.
324
00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:44,533
(sighs)
You know what,
325
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:47,867
this... is kind of
a champagne problem.
326
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:52,535
I mean, this terrific guy with a
fellowship to Oxford in physics
327
00:11:52,678 --> 00:11:55,203
wants to marry our daughter.
328
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:56,541
I think we'll survive.
329
00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:58,240
- (laughing): Yeah.
- (chuckles)
330
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:05,087
Oh, Henry.
331
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:06,885
Our baby.
332
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,555
I know.
333
00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:17,400
JAY: After your
commencement address,
334
00:12:17,536 --> 00:12:19,731
you'll be joining
the school's president
335
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:21,066
for a luncheon in his home.
336
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:23,300
(gasps) Gordon,
come here, good buddy.
337
00:12:23,442 --> 00:12:24,466
Come here,
come on, Gordon.
338
00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:25,577
There's a good boy.
339
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:27,576
Mike B., you can come in.
340
00:12:27,713 --> 00:12:28,907
Hi.
341
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:30,913
Are we doing this here,
in front of them?
342
00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:34,383
Always a pleasure
to see you, too, Mike.
343
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,385
I'm ready to read them in. Here,
you go walk with Uncle Blake.
344
00:12:36,522 --> 00:12:38,513
Oh, come here.
All right. Who raised you?
345
00:12:39,825 --> 00:12:40,985
ELIZABETH:
So, uh,
346
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:44,290
had Mike B. Running
some favorability numbers
347
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:48,025
on the idea of trading
Peter Buckley to the Russians.
348
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:50,567
Obviously, that does
not leave this room.
349
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:51,761
Well, it ain't pretty.
350
00:12:51,904 --> 00:12:53,872
48% say they'd view
the trade unfavorably.
351
00:12:54,006 --> 00:12:55,530
Well, that's less than 50.
352
00:12:55,674 --> 00:12:58,609
With 32% saying they'd view it
"extremely unfavorably."
353
00:12:58,744 --> 00:12:59,972
Oh.
354
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,272
And how would they view
President Dalton
355
00:13:01,413 --> 00:13:02,437
for making such a trade?
356
00:13:02,581 --> 00:13:05,812
Ah, that came in at 78%:
"What are you, nuts?"
357
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:07,475
Figured as much.
358
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:08,882
That's why you're here.
359
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:10,545
Wha?
360
00:13:10,689 --> 00:13:12,247
I have no idea what's going on.
361
00:13:12,391 --> 00:13:13,881
It's Washington. Who does?
362
00:13:14,026 --> 00:13:16,085
I want you
to put together a package
363
00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:18,662
of inducements
of equal or greater value
364
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:19,662
to the Russians
as Peter Buckley.
365
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,027
Can you do that?
366
00:13:21,167 --> 00:13:24,295
I can try, but it'll have
to be pretty damn enticing.
367
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:25,664
He's kind of a white
whale for them.
368
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,467
And who or what would we be
369
00:13:28,607 --> 00:13:29,631
getting in return?
370
00:13:29,775 --> 00:13:33,006
Let's just say
another white whale.
371
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:34,806
Understood, ma'am.
372
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:36,414
Great, now that we're done
speaking in Melville code,
373
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:37,447
can we have the room?
374
00:13:37,583 --> 00:13:40,916
You and I have other
problems to discuss.
375
00:13:46,926 --> 00:13:47,915
Really?
376
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:50,826
- Really.
- Really.
377
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:52,828
Fine.
378
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:54,990
My friend also told me that
his company was commissioned
379
00:13:55,134 --> 00:13:57,500
by an unnamed entity...
read: The White House...
380
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:00,127
to do a poll on three
people: Albert Kopp,
381
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:02,797
Lloyd Frost and Calvin Hastings.
382
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:05,137
- So?
- They're all heavy-hitters
383
00:14:05,277 --> 00:14:06,801
with foreign policy
credentials.
384
00:14:06,946 --> 00:14:08,846
In fact, they were
on the short list
385
00:14:08,981 --> 00:14:09,879
- after Secretary Marsh died.
- (snores)
386
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:11,642
The White House is
looking to dump you.
387
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:15,317
(laughing):
Oh, come on.
388
00:14:15,454 --> 00:14:16,785
What?
389
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:23,127
First of all,
Conrad is a friend.
390
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:24,661
Uh-huh.
391
00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:27,532
And secondly,
392
00:14:27,666 --> 00:14:29,634
I-I-I've had a few successes.
393
00:14:29,768 --> 00:14:31,633
Listen, you could be
Thomas Jefferson,
394
00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:34,238
but I'm telling you, it looks
like you're about to get canned.
395
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:35,738
Why?
396
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:36,899
It's an election year.
397
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:39,135
There... there could
be a million reasons.
398
00:14:43,515 --> 00:14:46,484
Well, thank you for
the heads up, Mike, but...
399
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:48,211
I'm not worried.
400
00:14:48,354 --> 00:14:50,879
And now that that's settled,
401
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:52,991
let's let the secretary
get back to work.
402
00:14:53,125 --> 00:14:54,057
- Sure.
- Yeah.
403
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,184
Why not?
404
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,300
♪ ♪
405
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,174
STEVIE:
Mom? Dad?
406
00:15:18,817 --> 00:15:19,681
ELIZABETH (laughs):
Hey.
407
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:21,149
- Hi.
- HENRY: Hey.
408
00:15:22,821 --> 00:15:24,413
So... we're engaged.
409
00:15:24,556 --> 00:15:26,786
- (gasps)
- You're kidding.
410
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:27,950
Wow!
411
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:30,254
- Hey, that's great.
- You're engaged.
412
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:32,364
I asked and she said yes.
413
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:34,398
- Oh!
- Aw!
414
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:36,023
STEVIE: Well,
he didn't just ask me.
415
00:15:36,168 --> 00:15:38,033
- He put this ring
in the parfait, -Ring?
416
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:39,296
And I almost choked on it.
417
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:40,336
- Ring?
- Let me see.
418
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:41,632
Yeah, I forgot.
419
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,299
Um, yeah, and he got down
on one knee and-and...
420
00:15:44,443 --> 00:15:46,308
(laughing): The whole
restaurant was watching.
421
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:48,879
- Oh! - They all applauded
when I said yes.
422
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:50,879
Wow, because you said yes.
423
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:52,916
Of course you did,
with that ring.
424
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:54,110
Oh, it's a family heirloom.
425
00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:55,777
- Yeah.
- Oh. Mm!
426
00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:57,479
Well, congratulations.
427
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:58,817
Uh, that...
428
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,448
We-we couldn't be
happier for you, really.
429
00:16:00,592 --> 00:16:02,253
And we're sure
the date is way off.
430
00:16:02,394 --> 00:16:04,328
'Cause you got to finish
college and law school.
431
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:06,328
Oh, why are we? We don't
need to think about that now.
432
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:07,659
Let's not.
433
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,597
Let's... let's have
that champagne.
434
00:16:09,735 --> 00:16:11,259
Well, actually,
it's not that far.
435
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:14,065
We were thinking we-we might
have it in DC at the courthouse.
436
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:15,400
STEVIE: Yeah, we-we
already have a date.
437
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:16,735
It's, uh, this weekend.
438
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:18,274
- Wow!
- Yeah. - Oh.
439
00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:19,604
(cell phone rings)
440
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:21,940
Uh, sorry, that's,
um, it's my parents.
441
00:16:22,081 --> 00:16:23,412
- We haven't told them yet. I...
- Oh yeah, um...
442
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:25,073
- Oh, yeah, go, go, go.
- STEVIE: We'll be back in one...
443
00:16:25,217 --> 00:16:26,081
- We'll... One sec.
- Hi, Mum.
444
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:27,082
Um, just a minute.
445
00:16:27,219 --> 00:16:28,743
(Elizabeth sighs)
(chuckles)
446
00:16:28,887 --> 00:16:31,185
(whispering): Are we united
that this is too fast?
447
00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:33,154
(whispering):
Way too fast.
448
00:16:33,292 --> 00:16:35,157
MIKE: Okay, I've done
my homework,
449
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:36,818
and here's where we are.
450
00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:39,487
First up, Albert Kopp,
deputy secretary under Marsh,
451
00:16:39,631 --> 00:16:41,997
now works in the private sector
consulting for an NGO.
452
00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:44,659
I knew him well.
453
00:16:44,803 --> 00:16:46,634
(sighs) The plagiarism
scandal from years ago
454
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:47,966
is probably behind him,
455
00:16:48,107 --> 00:16:51,304
but the "everyone in bureaucracy
hated him" scandal
456
00:16:51,443 --> 00:16:52,774
most likely is not.
457
00:16:52,911 --> 00:16:56,108
I doubt Dalton would hoist him
on the rank and file.
458
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:57,476
Lloyd Frost.
459
00:16:57,616 --> 00:16:59,481
Former high-ranking
military officer,
460
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:02,985
two-term congressman and
ex-ambassador to Indonesia.
461
00:17:03,122 --> 00:17:04,214
Frost would never
relocate to DC...
462
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:06,517
Because his mistress
lives in San Diego.
463
00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:07,522
Yes, I know.
464
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:09,524
Okay.
465
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:11,720
Calvin Hastings, former
ambassador to the UN.
466
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:13,058
Plenty of foreign policy
experience.
467
00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:14,392
And he's from a purple state,
468
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:16,728
so his constituency
would be useful to Dalton.
469
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,063
Uh-huh.
470
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:19,397
His wife is a veteran.
471
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:21,733
They have three
beautiful children.
472
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:26,072
And he has a history
of outside-the-box thinking.
473
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:29,146
If anything,
he's a Secretary McCord 2.0.
474
00:17:29,281 --> 00:17:30,509
And he's clean.
475
00:17:30,649 --> 00:17:32,810
Well...
476
00:17:32,951 --> 00:17:34,885
if you can't find
dirt on him, nobody can.
477
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:37,545
Thank you.
478
00:17:37,689 --> 00:17:38,883
Frankly, I think he'd make
479
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:41,151
a more useful secretary
than Elizabeth.
480
00:17:41,293 --> 00:17:42,817
Because he's from a swing state.
481
00:17:42,961 --> 00:17:44,292
Relax.
482
00:17:48,634 --> 00:17:50,499
I miss my shoes.
483
00:17:50,636 --> 00:17:53,036
ELIZABETH:
Well, that was brutal.
484
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:58,041
All that champagne
and terrible ideas.
485
00:17:58,177 --> 00:18:00,668
My face hurts
from fake smiling.
486
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:02,872
How do you think my tongue
feels from me biting it?
487
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:04,573
She's going to put school
488
00:18:04,716 --> 00:18:06,445
on hold and maybe
489
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:10,021
find work in a pub...
she did say "pub."
490
00:18:10,155 --> 00:18:13,784
For the experience
of immersing herself
491
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,223
in the culture?
492
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,987
Oh, yeah, we are gonna
have to say something.
493
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:19,723
Oh, you are definitely gonna
have to say something.
494
00:18:19,865 --> 00:18:22,493
Really?
495
00:18:22,634 --> 00:18:27,435
You're going to have to make her
understand about concrete plans,
496
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:32,169
and-and contingency plans,
and future pla...
497
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:34,211
you're just gonna have
to explain plans.
498
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:35,404
Look, I know you're upset
499
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:37,014
you weren't consulted
about the proposal.
500
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:38,741
- Yeah! - But now I'm the one
that has to tell her
501
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:39,816
she's about to
screw up her life?
502
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:41,783
Yes, and now is not a good time
503
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,581
for me to confront
my contradictions.
504
00:18:43,722 --> 00:18:47,123
I just need you to stop
this from happening.
505
00:18:47,259 --> 00:18:48,453
Okay, okay, I'll do my best.
506
00:18:48,594 --> 00:18:53,224
I-It is like my entire
history of parental guidance
507
00:18:53,365 --> 00:18:55,663
is-is being erased.
508
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:57,325
There's no bank.
509
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:59,528
Nothing that I have done
510
00:18:59,671 --> 00:19:02,606
up to this point matters.
511
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:04,709
Is this all about Stevie?
512
00:19:04,843 --> 00:19:06,140
Yes! Maybe.
513
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:09,505
I don't know.
514
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,548
What's going on?
515
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:14,811
Conrad's looking to replace me.
516
00:19:14,953 --> 00:19:15,977
What?!
517
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:17,418
Says who?
518
00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:20,390
Mike B.
519
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:22,960
Mike B., come on, that guy
520
00:19:23,095 --> 00:19:26,360
dines out on controversy
and bad news.
521
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:30,628
Yes, and as a result,
he has a jump on everything.
522
00:19:30,769 --> 00:19:32,498
That's got to be some
kind of crazy rumor.
523
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:34,606
Conrad would
never do that to you.
524
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:35,832
You've been so loyal.
525
00:19:35,974 --> 00:19:37,965
I find it inconceivable
that he would turn on you
526
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:39,134
like this.
527
00:19:39,278 --> 00:19:41,508
Well, it is Washington
528
00:19:41,647 --> 00:19:44,775
and there is an
election coming up,
529
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:47,283
and the crazy thing is...
530
00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:52,052
...until now,
I didn't even realize
531
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,455
how much I've come
to love the job.
532
00:19:56,895 --> 00:19:59,159
That's the first time
I've ever heard you say that.
533
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:04,692
I know.
534
00:20:09,808 --> 00:20:10,672
BLAKE:
Uh, good morning, ma'am.
535
00:20:10,809 --> 00:20:11,673
Uh, you received a call
536
00:20:11,810 --> 00:20:12,777
from an Anton Durchenko
537
00:20:12,911 --> 00:20:14,435
from the Russian Embassy.
538
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:15,444
- Yeah.
- Uh...
539
00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:16,809
He's a cultural attaché.
540
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:18,211
He-he-he says
that you know him.
541
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:19,840
Yeah, from my CIA days.
542
00:20:19,985 --> 00:20:22,317
Oh, well, uh, he called to
invite you to a concert today
543
00:20:22,454 --> 00:20:24,012
at the Russian Embassy.
544
00:20:24,156 --> 00:20:26,351
I told him you were very
busy but he insisted that
545
00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:27,685
you would be interested.
546
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:30,386
It's, uh, Rachmaninoff's
String Quartet Number 1.
547
00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:32,019
Okay, clear my afternoon.
548
00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:33,862
R-Really?
549
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:36,433
Yeah, I could use
a little break.
550
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,195
Tell Anton I'm coming.
551
00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:40,305
Uh, yes, ma'am.
552
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:42,532
Bring you back some
caviar and vodka.
553
00:20:42,674 --> 00:20:43,902
Oh, please, don't.
554
00:20:44,042 --> 00:20:45,873
I'm cleansing.
555
00:20:47,112 --> 00:20:49,103
(Rachmaninoff's
String Quartet Number 1 plays)
556
00:21:14,806 --> 00:21:16,831
That's all the documentation
I could find.
557
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,401
(String Quartet Number 1
continues playing)
558
00:21:46,571 --> 00:21:49,699
(sighs)
559
00:21:51,610 --> 00:21:52,668
ELIZABETH:
Minister Avdonin,
560
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:54,972
where did you think
this road would lead
561
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:58,105
when you decided
to manipulate me
562
00:21:58,250 --> 00:21:59,512
and the United States
Government?
563
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:01,983
It took exactly one move from me
564
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,054
to find the proof
that Captain Dmitri
565
00:22:04,189 --> 00:22:05,087
Petrov is dead.
566
00:22:05,223 --> 00:22:06,747
Madam Secretary, forgive me,
567
00:22:06,892 --> 00:22:09,360
but I have to call into question
this so-called proof
568
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:10,620
that you claim to have.
569
00:22:10,762 --> 00:22:12,457
Oh, it was-it was
pretty convincing.
570
00:22:12,597 --> 00:22:14,030
Dmitri Petrov's treachery
571
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,225
had to remain secret
to the public
572
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:19,201
at large, but in order
to maintain the appearance
573
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,533
of strength among
the military's officer class,
574
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:25,871
President Salnikov falsified
the captain's execution.
575
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:29,538
I saw a photo of him
with a bullet in his head.
576
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:30,841
What can I say?
577
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:32,745
We're very good at what we do.
578
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:37,053
I want proof of life
before we can proceed.
579
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,383
No.
580
00:22:38,523 --> 00:22:40,548
President Salnikov
wants to maintain
581
00:22:40,692 --> 00:22:42,353
the pretense of Dmitri's death.
582
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,588
He will not risk exposing
this operation
583
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:48,894
for anything short
of Peter Buckley's freedom.
584
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:51,559
It's the reason
why he kept the traitor alive.
585
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:53,898
Now he sees
that the time is right,
586
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,234
given such high-level interest.
587
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:59,572
I would only consider
moving forward with the trade
588
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:03,238
if there was
a good faith gesture.
589
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:07,713
Dmitri Petrov's
sister Talia released
590
00:23:07,853 --> 00:23:10,048
from prison in advance.
591
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:12,383
That can be arranged.
592
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:15,049
I will process the orders
right away.
593
00:23:15,193 --> 00:23:18,060
But as for Dmitri,
it's Buckley or nothing.
594
00:23:18,196 --> 00:23:20,061
And I'm running
out of patience.
595
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:22,792
Good-bye, Madam Secretary.
596
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:25,634
Ma'am, a word?
597
00:23:25,771 --> 00:23:26,635
We have proof.
598
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:27,670
You're on your way out.
599
00:23:27,806 --> 00:23:29,296
We have
some rather unsettling news,
600
00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:30,601
but I wouldn't call it proof.
601
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:31,800
They're gonna be moving the
furniture out while you're
602
00:23:31,943 --> 00:23:33,638
- protecting her feelings.
- Just tell me.
603
00:23:33,779 --> 00:23:35,508
Calvin Hastings' wife moved
heaven and earth
604
00:23:35,647 --> 00:23:37,046
to get their child put
on a wait list
605
00:23:37,182 --> 00:23:38,706
for the Circle of Friends
preschool,
606
00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:40,044
which is the finger paint feeder
607
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:41,652
for all the best
prep schools in DC.
608
00:23:41,787 --> 00:23:44,051
Hastings doesn't even have
a preschool-aged child.
609
00:23:44,189 --> 00:23:45,554
He will soon enough.
610
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:48,090
His wife is six months pregnant.
611
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:53,821
Damn it.
612
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:59,103
Hey. I was just coming
to find you.
613
00:23:59,237 --> 00:24:00,761
I have a draft.
It's rough,
614
00:24:00,906 --> 00:24:02,498
- but I think it's pretty good.
- The commencement speech.
615
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:04,165
- I-I can't.
- You can't what?
616
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:06,834
I-I can't do it.
There's a lot going on.
617
00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:07,910
It's complicated.
618
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:10,446
Uh, bailing on them at this
point, all due respect,
619
00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:11,480
- is pretty rude.
- I'm not bailing on them.
620
00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:13,516
- I'm sending you.
- Oh. Wait, wait, what?!
621
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:16,018
Look, you wrote the speech.
It's all you.
622
00:24:16,154 --> 00:24:18,622
And, besides, the kids will
relate to you more. Thank you.
623
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:20,622
I'll coordinate it.
Just trust me.
624
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,886
Madam Secretary,
they're really expecting you.
625
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:24,552
I'm-I'm gonna be
a big disappointment.
626
00:24:24,696 --> 00:24:26,596
Look, I'll make a
contribution to the school.
627
00:24:26,731 --> 00:24:28,961
I'll take individual meetings
with the graduates.
628
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,590
- How many?
- 400.
629
00:24:30,735 --> 00:24:33,363
(sighs)
We'll figure it out. And, Matt,
630
00:24:33,505 --> 00:24:35,598
you're not gonna be
a disappointment.
631
00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:37,867
You're gonna crush it.
632
00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:45,213
Elise.
633
00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:47,375
Russell...
634
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:50,386
(chuckling): Now that I'm
on the other side of this,
635
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:51,784
it is pretty rude.
636
00:24:51,923 --> 00:24:53,220
We need to talk.
637
00:24:53,358 --> 00:24:56,225
Yes, we do.
638
00:24:56,361 --> 00:24:58,852
You need to drop
the Peter Buckley thing.
639
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:02,899
Look, I have no idea
why you'd want
640
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:04,626
to give up a traitor
to the Russians.
641
00:25:04,769 --> 00:25:07,966
All I know is that you have
no business even discussing this
642
00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:09,403
in the middle of an election.
643
00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:13,136
And why should I listen to this
when I'm losing my job?
644
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,745
Yeah.
645
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:19,407
Two can play
at the omniscience game.
646
00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:22,019
I know that you are planning
on offering
647
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:24,417
my position
to Calvin Hastings.
648
00:25:24,556 --> 00:25:26,581
(sighs)
Look...
649
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:31,284
I can't talk about this.
650
00:25:36,334 --> 00:25:39,167
You're not even denying it?
651
00:25:41,172 --> 00:25:44,369
You need to talk
to the president, soon.
652
00:25:44,509 --> 00:25:47,103
He's in Chicago
at a fund-raiser.
653
00:25:47,245 --> 00:25:48,712
He'll be back tomorrow.
654
00:25:48,847 --> 00:25:51,247
I'll get you a face-to-face
with him.
655
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,681
Don't bring up Buckley.
656
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:54,978
We'll see about that.
657
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,644
(door shuts)
658
00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:04,752
(sighs)
659
00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:15,071
HENRY:
We love Jareth.
660
00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:16,867
We think he's a great guy.
661
00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:19,101
But you're rushing
into this marriage too quickly.
662
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,704
No, just "rushing."
663
00:26:22,847 --> 00:26:25,247
"Rushing" is "quickly."
You don't need both.
664
00:26:25,383 --> 00:26:28,147
You're rushing
into this marriage. And why?
665
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:29,480
Marriage is forever,
666
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:31,316
and forever is a lot longer
than you think it is.
667
00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:33,321
This is stupid.
668
00:26:33,458 --> 00:26:35,153
Okay.
669
00:26:35,293 --> 00:26:37,989
Just go out there
and start talking.
670
00:26:38,129 --> 00:26:39,460
It can't be that hard.
671
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:40,792
STEVIE:
Yeah, but isn't an up-do,
672
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,400
- like, too much going on?
- Not if it's casual,
673
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:45,059
- Yeah.
- Like a modified ballerina bun
674
00:26:45,203 --> 00:26:46,397
or a messy French twist.
675
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:49,166
Oh, you mean the ones that
messy, like, have to look messy
676
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:50,239
but you can't actually have
them being... (laughs)
677
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:51,399
That's the magic.
678
00:26:51,543 --> 00:26:52,510
- Thank God you're here.
- Hey, Dad.
679
00:26:52,644 --> 00:26:54,805
Hey.
It's just a dry run.
680
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,346
Um, the big day
is still on Saturday.
681
00:26:57,482 --> 00:26:59,416
You look beautiful.
682
00:26:59,551 --> 00:27:00,950
Noodle, could we have a minute?
683
00:27:01,086 --> 00:27:02,610
Of course.
684
00:27:02,754 --> 00:27:04,688
- Thank you.
- (grunts)
685
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:06,484
You look so beautiful.
686
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,490
- Thanks, Ali.
- Seriously.
687
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:12,225
So...
688
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:14,161
is this the big
sentimental dad talk
689
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:16,199
about sending me
off into the world?
690
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:19,359
Not exactly.
691
00:27:20,405 --> 00:27:22,305
Okay.
692
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:26,401
Look...
693
00:27:26,544 --> 00:27:28,603
Mom and I are concerned that...
694
00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:30,738
It's too soon, isn't it?
695
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,109
Yes.
696
00:27:40,125 --> 00:27:41,456
Oh, God.
697
00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:46,393
I was wondering when one
of you was gonna stop me
698
00:27:46,531 --> 00:27:49,193
from doing
something incredibly...
699
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:50,801
impulsive and stupid,
700
00:27:50,935 --> 00:27:54,029
which this does
feel like it is.
701
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:57,141
But at the same time...
702
00:27:57,275 --> 00:27:59,539
I love him, and...
703
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:02,078
I don't want to lose him.
704
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:03,840
And I know
that he's the forever guy.
705
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:08,214
I just don't know that I want
to start forever right now.
706
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:11,083
Right. Because forever is a lot
longer than you think it is.
707
00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:14,555
I just didn't know what
to say when he proposed.
708
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:18,094
I mean, people were watching.
709
00:28:18,229 --> 00:28:20,629
And it was so romantic!
710
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:24,223
And he's the greatest
guy... ever.
711
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:29,033
Being willing to take
that risk, you know?
712
00:28:32,911 --> 00:28:35,778
Commitment is really
hard to find in...
713
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:37,609
people my age.
714
00:28:37,749 --> 00:28:39,273
Or anybody.
715
00:28:40,351 --> 00:28:43,343
How can I just throw
all of that away?
716
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:54,490
You don't have to.
717
00:28:54,632 --> 00:28:57,066
And you shouldn't.
718
00:28:57,202 --> 00:28:58,134
We love Jareth.
719
00:28:58,269 --> 00:29:00,464
- (quiet laugh)
- Uh...
720
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:03,073
We just think that...
721
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:05,870
if you're willing to commit
to a life together,
722
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:09,138
then that's not going anywhere.
723
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,909
It'll stand the test of time.
724
00:29:13,051 --> 00:29:14,541
I'm speaking in clichés now,
exclusively.
725
00:29:14,686 --> 00:29:16,017
- I just can't...
- That's okay.
726
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:17,985
Dad, you're
a little freaked out.
727
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:19,385
- I am.
- So am I. (chuckles)
728
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,124
Okay.
729
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,626
♪ ♪
730
00:29:27,499 --> 00:29:29,933
(sighs)
731
00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:31,467
Tell me what you know, Bess.
732
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:34,401
That you made an unofficial
offer to Calvin Hastings
733
00:29:34,539 --> 00:29:36,905
to replace me
as secretary of state.
734
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:40,033
Hastings hasn't
unofficially accepted.
735
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:42,169
I was hoping to bring you into
the circle when the situation...
736
00:29:42,313 --> 00:29:44,406
I've been told
by Foreign Minister Avdonin
737
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:46,414
that Dmitri Petrov is alive.
738
00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:49,418
They'll give him his freedom
in exchange for Peter Buckley.
739
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:52,148
(sighs)
Here we go.
740
00:29:54,526 --> 00:29:55,686
Give us a moment.
741
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:01,696
(door opens)
742
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,824
(door shuts)
743
00:30:09,073 --> 00:30:10,370
You need to let this go.
744
00:30:10,508 --> 00:30:11,475
Not a chance.
745
00:30:11,609 --> 00:30:14,271
After everything
that I have done
746
00:30:14,412 --> 00:30:16,004
in service to you
and this administration,
747
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:19,173
only to find myself turned out
748
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:22,309
at the first glimmer
of political expediency?
749
00:30:22,453 --> 00:30:24,045
- Bess...
- Not to mention the sacrifices
750
00:30:24,189 --> 00:30:26,316
my whole family made,
751
00:30:26,457 --> 00:30:29,324
especially Henry, who did
his best to put it behind him
752
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:31,257
and support you
after his own asset
753
00:30:31,396 --> 00:30:32,988
was surrendered
to the greater good.
754
00:30:33,131 --> 00:30:36,259
Do you have any idea
the stress that put on us?
755
00:30:36,401 --> 00:30:40,201
We survived it because we did
have a bigger picture in mind,
756
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:42,806
because we did serve
at the pleasure of a man
757
00:30:42,941 --> 00:30:45,171
we both respected
758
00:30:45,310 --> 00:30:47,540
and admired and trusted.
759
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,408
And now this?
You're firing me?
760
00:30:49,547 --> 00:30:52,414
Bess, I'm not firing you.
761
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:55,018
I'm trying to ask you
to be my vice president.
762
00:30:57,055 --> 00:30:58,044
Oh.
763
00:31:00,625 --> 00:31:01,717
What?!
764
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:05,193
Mark Delgado
has serious health issues.
765
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:07,525
It's just not a viable job
for him anymore.
766
00:31:07,665 --> 00:31:09,326
It was a very short list
767
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:13,130
when it came
to his replacement.
768
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:15,466
Only one name on it.
769
00:31:18,977 --> 00:31:21,343
I'm going to need your help
on the campaign trail.
770
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:25,745
But more importantly, I'm
going to need your wise counsel
771
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,818
on all matters,
foreign and domestic.
772
00:31:27,952 --> 00:31:29,681
I didn't want
to bring you into this
773
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:34,349
until I had a solid choice
for secretary of state.
774
00:31:34,492 --> 00:31:37,222
That person has
some pretty big shoes to fill.
775
00:31:38,263 --> 00:31:41,130
(sighing):
Uh...
776
00:31:41,266 --> 00:31:44,133
Mr. President...
777
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:47,261
I don't know what to say.
778
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,035
First of all, thank you.
779
00:31:51,175 --> 00:31:52,767
Um...
780
00:31:52,911 --> 00:31:54,435
And I'm sorry
for the misunderstanding.
781
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:56,638
It's quite all right.
782
00:31:56,781 --> 00:31:58,180
(trembling sigh)
783
00:31:58,316 --> 00:32:00,284
And then, um,
784
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:04,047
I suppose
I'll need some time to think.
785
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:06,179
Of course.
786
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:16,533
Sir, I-I'm not...
I'm not bargaining here.
787
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:18,795
It's a separate issue,
this matter of Dmitri Petrov.
788
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,802
It's out of the question.
American assets were
789
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:22,839
sent to their deaths
when Buckley burned them.
790
00:32:22,974 --> 00:32:24,839
- Two of them were friends.
- I know.
791
00:32:24,976 --> 00:32:28,036
As the former CIA director,
you know I can't begin
792
00:32:28,179 --> 00:32:30,773
to consider giving this
traitor his freedom.
793
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:33,179
You also know that
Dmitri is probably dead.
794
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:37,584
But while there's a chance,
we have to try.
795
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:41,783
He was one of the most effective
assets we've ever had.
796
00:32:41,926 --> 00:32:44,394
His intel may have
prevented a world war.
797
00:32:44,529 --> 00:32:46,656
Meanwhile,
798
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:50,791
Buckley is no longer a threat
to American security.
799
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,665
But besides all that,
800
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:57,331
you know in your heart
of hearts
801
00:32:57,475 --> 00:32:58,442
that giving up Dmitri
802
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:01,841
to make that deal
with Russia was wrong.
803
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:04,312
It was a necessary wrong.
804
00:33:04,449 --> 00:33:06,610
But it was wrong.
805
00:33:06,751 --> 00:33:10,050
Here we have a chance
to make it right.
806
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:12,247
How often do we get that?
807
00:33:14,525 --> 00:33:15,685
Here I am, offering you
808
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,055
the second most important
job in the country,
809
00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:18,355
(laughs)
810
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:21,192
And you're poking
at my conscience.
811
00:33:21,332 --> 00:33:24,062
Any wonder why I want
you to take the job?
812
00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:35,641
Well, it looks like we both
have a lot to think about.
813
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:40,977
JARETH: So, for the wedding
reception,
814
00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:44,020
plenty of room for mingling
but not too cavernous.
815
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:47,613
Got craft beers on tap,
nice wine selection,
816
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,249
all the small batch liquors.
817
00:33:49,394 --> 00:33:51,089
Walks right up to precious,
818
00:33:51,229 --> 00:33:52,753
and then says, no, wait,
819
00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:54,421
sophisticated.
820
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,631
Yeah.
821
00:33:57,769 --> 00:33:59,236
It's nice.
822
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,667
Okay, so...
823
00:34:03,808 --> 00:34:05,332
why does it look
like you're being
824
00:34:05,476 --> 00:34:06,636
led to your execution?
825
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:13,311
It's, uh, it's too soon.
826
00:34:13,451 --> 00:34:14,679
What?
827
00:34:14,819 --> 00:34:15,786
For getting married.
828
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,114
- Yes, no, I put that together.
- Jareth...
829
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:19,519
I love you so much.
830
00:34:19,657 --> 00:34:23,024
And I love the idea
of marrying you, it's...
831
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:27,425
...just every time
I th... I think about
832
00:34:27,565 --> 00:34:30,261
actually doing it, I...
833
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:33,234
I kind of feel like...
834
00:34:33,371 --> 00:34:35,498
throwing up or-or passing out,
835
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,801
and-and that's not how I really
836
00:34:37,942 --> 00:34:39,842
- want to feel.
- No, that's not ideal.
837
00:34:40,878 --> 00:34:42,641
So why can't we wait?
838
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:44,304
Of course we can.
839
00:34:44,449 --> 00:34:46,940
It's just when I think
of being separated from you
840
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:50,145
for that long without
some kind of plan...
841
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:52,951
I don't want to risk it.
842
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,082
So...
843
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:56,352
let's make a plan.
844
00:34:57,395 --> 00:35:00,262
I will finish out
my semester here
845
00:35:00,398 --> 00:35:03,390
and then I'll jo...
I'll join you in Oxford
846
00:35:03,534 --> 00:35:04,501
for the summer.
847
00:35:05,536 --> 00:35:07,003
We can, we can live in a...
848
00:35:08,739 --> 00:35:10,900
...charming little
cottage and...
849
00:35:11,042 --> 00:35:13,010
go punting...
850
00:35:13,144 --> 00:35:14,304
Probably more like
a sad little flat.
851
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:15,742
But I do know how to punt.
852
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,780
Well, I didn't actually
know that was a real thing,
853
00:35:17,915 --> 00:35:18,882
it just sounded good, so...
854
00:35:19,016 --> 00:35:21,007
And after our idyllic summer?
855
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:26,615
We... we figure it out.
Together.
856
00:35:28,226 --> 00:35:29,591
I like the together bit.
857
00:35:29,727 --> 00:35:31,490
Me, too.
858
00:35:37,902 --> 00:35:38,800
HENRY:
Babe?
859
00:35:38,936 --> 00:35:40,563
Text from Stevie.
860
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:43,970
"Wedding off, engagement on,
explain later."
861
00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:46,235
Oh, thank God.
862
00:35:46,377 --> 00:35:50,108
"P.S. Summer in Oxford."
863
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:52,648
Sounds expensive.
864
00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:53,715
(chuckles)
865
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:56,012
Still, nice save, Professor.
866
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,987
Well, believe me, she was
ready for the intervention.
867
00:36:00,658 --> 00:36:02,489
I need to tell you something.
868
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:05,223
Couple of things, actually.
869
00:36:05,363 --> 00:36:06,660
Yeah?
870
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:11,801
There's a chance
Dmitri's still alive.
871
00:36:11,936 --> 00:36:13,904
What?
872
00:36:14,038 --> 00:36:15,562
How?
873
00:36:15,706 --> 00:36:17,333
I'm told the Russians
preserved him
874
00:36:17,475 --> 00:36:20,000
in the event of a chance
for a prisoner exchange,
875
00:36:20,144 --> 00:36:22,772
and now that chance is here.
876
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:25,678
Avdonin wants to swap him
for Peter Buckley.
877
00:36:25,816 --> 00:36:27,977
Took some convincing,
878
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:30,610
but Conrad's agreed
to the trade.
879
00:36:30,755 --> 00:36:31,744
He's alive.
880
00:36:31,889 --> 00:36:34,153
The whole thing could be a ploy.
881
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:35,554
I mean, all accessible proof,
882
00:36:35,693 --> 00:36:37,888
everything except
Avdonin's word,
883
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:39,189
speaks to the contrary,
884
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:42,731
and the Russians could just
be playing us to get Buckley.
885
00:36:44,235 --> 00:36:47,432
We wouldn't know for certain
until the actual exchange.
886
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:50,632
When is it?
887
00:36:50,775 --> 00:36:51,764
Tomorrow night.
888
00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:53,069
Where?
889
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,111
Vartius, Finland.
890
00:36:55,246 --> 00:36:57,510
Border checkpoint with Russia.
891
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:01,184
We need someone there
892
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:02,684
who can identify him.
893
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:03,809
It has to be me.
894
00:37:03,955 --> 00:37:05,616
Do you really want to put
yourself through that?
895
00:37:05,756 --> 00:37:08,919
If it isn't real,
what's that gonna do to you?
896
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:12,086
Y-you have to
consider that, Henry.
897
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:16,792
In your best ex-CIA estimation,
what are the odds he's alive?
898
00:37:18,936 --> 00:37:20,267
Forty-five percent.
899
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:22,565
I have to go.
900
00:37:27,445 --> 00:37:28,912
Okay.
901
00:37:30,648 --> 00:37:33,515
Then we need to pack.
902
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,315
What was the other thing?
903
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:39,321
Oh...
904
00:37:39,457 --> 00:37:41,687
Conrad asked me to be
his Vice President.
905
00:37:41,826 --> 00:37:43,157
Oh... what?
906
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:46,752
ELIZABETH:
Yeah, big day.
907
00:37:46,897 --> 00:37:47,829
MATT:
Uh, good morning.
908
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:49,398
- (feedback whines)
- MAN: Good morning.
909
00:37:49,533 --> 00:37:50,500
I'd like to, uh...
910
00:37:50,635 --> 00:37:52,796
excuse me...
911
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:56,498
uh, begin by
stating the obvious.
912
00:37:57,642 --> 00:38:01,874
I am not Elizabeth McCord.
913
00:38:04,415 --> 00:38:06,713
I'm her speechwriter.
914
00:38:08,219 --> 00:38:11,017
Believe me, uh, no one
is more disappointed that
915
00:38:11,155 --> 00:38:13,020
the secretary won't
be giving the address
916
00:38:13,157 --> 00:38:14,715
that I wrote for her.
917
00:38:14,859 --> 00:38:16,019
You know, now that I know
918
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,525
that it'll never see
the light of day,
919
00:38:17,662 --> 00:38:20,096
I think it's safe to say that
920
00:38:20,231 --> 00:38:21,823
it was the greatest speech
ever written.
921
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:23,763
(audience laughs)
922
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:25,994
I mean, honestly, uh,
923
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:29,595
this is probably the first
moment in my adult life
924
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:32,368
that I've stood
in the spotlight.
925
00:38:33,744 --> 00:38:36,838
Truth be told, it's probably
gonna be the last.
926
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:40,481
Why?
927
00:38:40,618 --> 00:38:44,384
Because I'm one of those people
who works in the dark.
928
00:38:44,522 --> 00:38:46,387
I know what you're thinking.
929
00:38:46,524 --> 00:38:50,392
As soon as my Etsy page
is discovered, uh,
930
00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:53,691
I'll invent my own job title
on Buzzfeed and livestream
931
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:56,299
my Christopher Walken
impression as I hoverboard
932
00:38:56,434 --> 00:38:58,368
to the Soylent dispenser
in the playroom...

(audience laughs)
934
00:39:00,237 --> 00:39:01,534
...and I don't blame you.
935
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:06,666
In this world of
relentless self-promotion,
936
00:39:06,811 --> 00:39:10,212
we've all been raised
to think that the limelight
937
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:12,646
is the only light
worth seeking.
938
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,619
But that isn't the case.
939
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:22,686
And if I can impart
one thing today,

a small, simple truth
to carry with you
941
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:30,263
as you walk through
those gates, it's this:
942
00:39:33,003 --> 00:39:36,530
Achievement is often anonymous.
943
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:41,237
Some of the greatest things
944
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:44,815
have been done by people
you have never heard of...
945
00:39:46,917 --> 00:39:50,819
...quietly dedicating their
lives to improving your own.
