1
00:00:01,696 --> 00:00:03,100
_
2
00:00:05,914 --> 00:00:07,015
Come on.
3
00:00:07,016 --> 00:00:08,851
Come on, let's move. Okay, guys,
4
00:00:08,852 --> 00:00:10,596
let's get what we can and get out fast.
5
00:00:10,597 --> 00:00:11,803
My name is Becca Mason.
6
00:00:11,804 --> 00:00:12,638
My colleagues and I,
7
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:14,845
with the environmental group
Ocean Relief Foundation,
8
00:00:14,846 --> 00:00:17,310
have managed to sneak ashore
here on Shipwreck Reef.
9
00:00:17,311 --> 00:00:19,646
Until recently, it was
an uninhabited atoll,
10
00:00:19,647 --> 00:00:21,615
home to an incredibly biodiverse
11
00:00:21,616 --> 00:00:22,616
coral reef.
12
00:00:22,617 --> 00:00:23,617
Like many such atolls,
13
00:00:23,618 --> 00:00:25,585
this reef is being developed
14
00:00:25,586 --> 00:00:27,220
by the Chinese military.
15
00:00:27,221 --> 00:00:29,856
And by "developed," I mean demolished.
16
00:00:29,857 --> 00:00:31,491
You can see the construction
17
00:00:31,492 --> 00:00:32,859
going on over there.
18
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:34,795
To build airstrips and radar stations,
19
00:00:34,796 --> 00:00:35,796
they pulverize the coral
20
00:00:35,797 --> 00:00:37,998
and pave over it with concrete,
21
00:00:37,999 --> 00:00:39,699
destroying it forever.
22
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,301
Maybe you're thinking, "So what?
23
00:00:41,302 --> 00:00:42,669
"Who cares about a little speck
24
00:00:42,670 --> 00:00:44,237
in the middle of a faraway sea?"
25
00:00:44,238 --> 00:00:46,673
Then consider this: These reefs
26
00:00:46,674 --> 00:00:50,477
provide one tenth of
all the seafood on Earth,
27
00:00:50,478 --> 00:00:52,279
providing food for millions of people.
28
00:00:53,548 --> 00:00:55,415
What will happen when that food is gone?
29
00:00:56,451 --> 00:00:58,185
We're here because someone needs to act
30
00:00:58,186 --> 00:00:59,719
before it's too late.
31
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,489
We're hoping you'll see this
and that someone will be you.
32
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:04,590
They're here. Let's go.
33
00:01:05,074 --> 00:01:06,021
_
34
00:01:06,059 --> 00:01:07,260
Do we have it?
35
00:01:07,261 --> 00:01:09,261
Wait, guys, do we have it?!
36
00:01:13,767 --> 00:01:16,770
- We're good.
- Let's get the hell out of here.
37
00:01:16,771 --> 00:01:18,438
_
38
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:20,005
Becca.
39
00:01:28,585 --> 00:01:30,398
I just can't believe you didn't mention
40
00:01:30,399 --> 00:01:32,154
Ray Merchant to the FBI, that's all.
41
00:01:32,155 --> 00:01:33,787
I didn't think it was relevant.
42
00:01:33,788 --> 00:01:35,256
Elizabeth, someone is stalking
43
00:01:35,257 --> 00:01:37,258
our family. How could a former student
44
00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:39,760
who is obsessed with
you not be relevant?
45
00:01:39,761 --> 00:01:43,063
He just wanted me to
be his thesis advisor.
46
00:01:43,064 --> 00:01:46,000
Oh, he wanted you to
be a lot more than that.
47
00:01:46,001 --> 00:01:47,234
Okay.
48
00:01:47,235 --> 00:01:50,070
Admittedly, Ray got a little weird.
49
00:01:50,071 --> 00:01:51,639
- A lit...
- And don't say,
50
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,240
"Oh, he got a lot more than that."
51
00:01:53,241 --> 00:01:54,775
- Well, he did.
- Yeah, okay.
52
00:01:54,776 --> 00:01:55,776
He did.
53
00:01:55,777 --> 00:01:57,244
He's bipolar,
54
00:01:57,245 --> 00:01:59,280
and the school dealt with it,
55
00:01:59,281 --> 00:02:02,383
and we haven't heard
anything from him since.
56
00:02:02,384 --> 00:02:06,787
You do remember I used to do
this kind of stuff for the CIA.
57
00:02:06,788 --> 00:02:08,355
Can you get your corner, please?
58
00:02:08,356 --> 00:02:10,157
No, I will not, and I don't appreciate
59
00:02:10,158 --> 00:02:11,892
how glib you're being
about this right now.
60
00:02:11,893 --> 00:02:14,794
That's your excuse for not helping.
61
00:02:15,663 --> 00:02:17,598
Okay.
62
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,700
That... was a little glib.
63
00:02:19,701 --> 00:02:23,470
What did he say to you
when you turned him down?
64
00:02:23,471 --> 00:02:27,474
He said he wanted to
hurt himself and me.
65
00:02:27,475 --> 00:02:31,745
Okay, but you of all
people, you know how wound up
66
00:02:31,746 --> 00:02:33,080
these gifted kids can get.
67
00:02:33,081 --> 00:02:34,215
Exactly.
68
00:02:34,216 --> 00:02:35,716
Do you really think that
a brilliant young guy
69
00:02:35,717 --> 00:02:37,451
with a screw loose couldn't
have pulled off some of the stuff
70
00:02:37,452 --> 00:02:40,075
- that's been happening?
- I don't know where Ray Merchant is now,
71
00:02:40,076 --> 00:02:41,722
but I doubt an interview with the FBI
72
00:02:41,723 --> 00:02:43,357
would be very good
for his mental health.
73
00:02:43,358 --> 00:02:44,358
That's not my problem.
74
00:02:44,359 --> 00:02:46,293
The safety of our family is my problem.
75
00:02:46,294 --> 00:02:48,462
- A problem I caused.
- I... That's not what I meant.
76
00:02:48,463 --> 00:02:50,664
Yeah, but that's the truth of it, right?
77
00:02:50,665 --> 00:02:53,267
Someone's threatening our
kids, and it's my fault.
78
00:02:53,268 --> 00:02:54,868
Elizabeth, no one believes in your work,
79
00:02:54,892 --> 00:02:56,270
in you, more than I do.
80
00:02:56,271 --> 00:02:58,539
Do you know who else
is obsessed with me?
81
00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:01,809
Hezbollah, ISIS, the Sinaloa Cartel.
82
00:03:01,810 --> 00:03:03,978
Any one of them would happily murder
83
00:03:03,979 --> 00:03:05,722
our family if it would
further their agenda.
84
00:03:05,723 --> 00:03:08,549
So, you know, that's fun to live with.
85
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:09,750
Listen to me.
86
00:03:09,751 --> 00:03:11,919
It's just that, a lot of times,
87
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,587
stalkers have a personal relationship
88
00:03:13,588 --> 00:03:14,655
with their victims.
89
00:03:14,656 --> 00:03:16,457
I had a bad feeling about this kid then,
90
00:03:16,458 --> 00:03:17,441
and I still have it now.
91
00:03:17,442 --> 00:03:19,193
Fine.
92
00:03:19,194 --> 00:03:23,162
Y-You want to talk to the
FBI, you can talk to the FBI.
93
00:03:24,265 --> 00:03:25,432
On one condition.
94
00:03:25,433 --> 00:03:26,567
Name it.
95
00:03:26,568 --> 00:03:30,170
You have to put the
shams on the big pillows.
96
00:03:30,171 --> 00:03:33,207
I'm sorry, but glib is the
only way I can deal right now.
97
00:03:33,208 --> 00:03:35,542
Oh, man, that's the worst
job in the whole house.
98
00:03:35,543 --> 00:03:38,078
Yes, I know.
99
00:03:38,079 --> 00:03:40,347
...and Nadine is wondering
how China's taking
100
00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:42,611
- of the activists from Ocean
Relief Foundation - Thanks.
101
00:03:42,612 --> 00:03:45,419
will impact your trip to Vietnam.
102
00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:47,688
You mean the Great Catfish Summit?
103
00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:50,557
It's a $360 million industry in the U.S.
104
00:03:50,558 --> 00:03:52,860
Vietnam is undercutting our
producers on the world market.
105
00:03:52,861 --> 00:03:54,528
Which is one of the last impediments
106
00:03:54,529 --> 00:03:57,064
to full normalization
between our countries.
107
00:03:57,065 --> 00:03:59,566
I know why I'm going, Blake.
108
00:03:59,567 --> 00:04:03,437
How's your Uncle Fred the
catfish farmer, by the way?
109
00:04:03,438 --> 00:04:05,139
E-mailing voluminously, ma'am.
110
00:04:06,408 --> 00:04:09,510
Ooh. In answer to,
uh, Nadine's question,
111
00:04:09,511 --> 00:04:10,744
I see no reason
112
00:04:10,745 --> 00:04:12,913
why the Ocean Relief situation
113
00:04:12,914 --> 00:04:14,782
would impact my trip at this point.
114
00:04:14,783 --> 00:04:17,051
Daisy is getting input from the group
115
00:04:17,052 --> 00:04:18,919
and putting together a statement.
116
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,822
Ooh, speaking of statements,
have the Chinese made one yet?
117
00:04:21,823 --> 00:04:22,856
Not as yet, no.
118
00:04:22,857 --> 00:04:25,426
Hmm. Well, that's something.
119
00:04:25,427 --> 00:04:28,162
The South China Sea is one of
the most dangerous flash points
120
00:04:28,163 --> 00:04:29,596
on this planet.
121
00:04:29,597 --> 00:04:31,632
What the hell were those
kids doing out there?
122
00:04:31,633 --> 00:04:33,216
Protesting its destruction, apparently.
123
00:04:33,217 --> 00:04:34,668
Which they're not wrong about.
124
00:04:34,669 --> 00:04:37,438
Okay, so, for the briefing,
China's building these bases
125
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,507
to assert its claim that it
owns the whole sea because why?
126
00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:42,042
- Oil and gas.
- Shipping lanes.
127
00:04:42,043 --> 00:04:43,377
Fishing's pretty good, too.
128
00:04:43,378 --> 00:04:46,380
You guys, 11 billion
proven barrels of oil
129
00:04:46,381 --> 00:04:48,182
underneath the SCS.
That's what China wants.
130
00:04:48,183 --> 00:04:49,650
What are we even talking about?
131
00:04:49,651 --> 00:04:51,892
Maybe they want control of
the $5 trillion worth of cargo
132
00:04:51,893 --> 00:04:53,236
that passes through it each year.
133
00:04:53,237 --> 00:04:56,056
$1.2 trillion of which
touches U.S. ports, because,
134
00:04:56,057 --> 00:04:57,760
you know, we buy
everything from China now.
135
00:04:57,761 --> 00:04:59,760
Okay, you want to play
Fun with Numbers? Here.
136
00:04:59,761 --> 00:05:03,097
A population of 1.3 billion
with one of the world's
137
00:05:03,098 --> 00:05:05,232
largest fisheries in its backyard.
138
00:05:05,233 --> 00:05:07,434
- All I'm saying.
- Oh, and don't forget to note
139
00:05:07,435 --> 00:05:09,098
that tensions have
been rising dangerously
140
00:05:09,099 --> 00:05:10,738
not just with the U.S. but with all
141
00:05:10,739 --> 00:05:12,042
of China's neighbors on the sea.
142
00:05:12,043 --> 00:05:13,107
It's a real powder keg.
143
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:15,175
God, what the hell were
those kids doing out there?
144
00:05:15,176 --> 00:05:17,211
- Exactly.
- Good luck with the briefing.
145
00:05:17,212 --> 00:05:19,146
Well, with any luck, we might not have
146
00:05:19,147 --> 00:05:20,681
to do a briefing at all.
147
00:05:20,682 --> 00:05:22,583
The Chinese haven't even
released a statement.
148
00:05:22,584 --> 00:05:25,519
I'm sure they're not looking
to set off a confrontation
149
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,554
over an incident this small.
150
00:05:27,555 --> 00:05:29,289
Besides, Chen and I have
a pretty good relationship.
151
00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:30,724
I'm sure we can sort this out.
152
00:05:30,725 --> 00:05:32,388
I have the foreign
minister ready for you.
153
00:05:32,389 --> 00:05:33,594
- Oh, great. Thank you.
- Yeah.
154
00:05:33,595 --> 00:05:35,429
Madam Secretary.
155
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:37,998
I wanted to reach out to
you about this situation
156
00:05:37,999 --> 00:05:39,900
with the activists because
157
00:05:39,901 --> 00:05:41,769
I think it's in both our interests
158
00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:45,005
to resolve this...
misunderstanding quickly.
159
00:05:45,006 --> 00:05:47,975
- I agree.
- Good. So where do we start?
160
00:05:47,976 --> 00:05:49,910
Simply acknowledge that
they were trespassing
161
00:05:49,911 --> 00:05:51,178
on Chinese territory,
162
00:05:51,179 --> 00:05:53,781
- and we can go from there.
- Well, obviously,
163
00:05:53,782 --> 00:05:56,250
I'm not gonna do that.
164
00:05:56,251 --> 00:05:57,518
Not one country
165
00:05:57,519 --> 00:05:59,720
in the world, mine included,
166
00:05:59,721 --> 00:06:02,823
recognizes the territorial
claims China is making
167
00:06:02,824 --> 00:06:04,458
in the South China Sea.
168
00:06:04,459 --> 00:06:07,294
Then the Western spies we apprehended
169
00:06:07,295 --> 00:06:09,963
will be tried for
trespassing on our island.
170
00:06:09,964 --> 00:06:12,833
Not only is it not your island,
171
00:06:12,834 --> 00:06:15,702
it's not even an island.
172
00:06:15,703 --> 00:06:19,640
It's a coral atoll you
illegally annexed and paved over.
173
00:06:19,641 --> 00:06:21,809
And, furthermore, "spies"?
174
00:06:21,810 --> 00:06:24,211
Really? Come on, Ming.
175
00:06:24,212 --> 00:06:27,281
We've worked closely together
on a range of incredibly
176
00:06:27,282 --> 00:06:28,382
complex issues.
177
00:06:28,383 --> 00:06:31,852
I think we can handle
some hippies on a raft.
178
00:06:31,853 --> 00:06:33,687
I believe I've made
China's position clear.
179
00:06:33,688 --> 00:06:37,090
You would be wise not to meddle
further in our internal affairs.
180
00:06:37,091 --> 00:06:39,393
Then let me be equally clear:
181
00:06:39,394 --> 00:06:42,296
Those activists were
taken on disputed territory
182
00:06:42,297 --> 00:06:44,231
and, therefore, illegally.
183
00:06:44,232 --> 00:06:46,900
We want them released immediately.
184
00:06:46,901 --> 00:06:48,902
It seems we have nothing
further to discuss.
185
00:06:48,903 --> 00:06:50,938
Good day, Madam Secretary.
186
00:06:50,939 --> 00:06:52,272
Wow.
187
00:06:52,273 --> 00:06:54,006
Ming out.
188
00:06:54,942 --> 00:06:56,310
Right?
189
00:06:56,311 --> 00:06:58,111
What the hell was that?
190
00:06:58,112 --> 00:07:00,814
Your motorcade is waiting to
take you to the White House.
191
00:07:00,815 --> 00:07:02,415
Good. 'Cause I have some recommendations
192
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,618
for the president.
193
00:07:04,619 --> 00:07:07,387
And after the incident at UVA,
194
00:07:07,388 --> 00:07:10,524
has Mr. Merchant attempted
to... make contact
195
00:07:10,525 --> 00:07:12,192
with your wife in any way?
196
00:07:12,193 --> 00:07:13,627
Not that we're aware of.
197
00:07:13,628 --> 00:07:15,128
But on social media,
198
00:07:15,129 --> 00:07:17,664
he's been highly critical
of U.S. foreign policy
199
00:07:17,665 --> 00:07:21,802
in general and of my wife specifically.
200
00:07:21,803 --> 00:07:23,070
"Secretary McCord's legacy:
201
00:07:23,071 --> 00:07:24,638
a string of epic disasters"
202
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:27,207
"Secretary McCord should be ashamed.
203
00:07:27,208 --> 00:07:30,210
So many innocent lives
ruined. #criminal."
204
00:07:30,211 --> 00:07:32,713
Tell me, did any of his posts contain
205
00:07:32,714 --> 00:07:36,483
direct threats against the
secretary or your family?
206
00:07:36,484 --> 00:07:37,451
Direct threats, no.
207
00:07:37,452 --> 00:07:38,752
Then as much as I might
208
00:07:38,753 --> 00:07:40,454
disagree with them,
209
00:07:40,455 --> 00:07:42,256
the man's entitled to his opinions.
210
00:07:42,257 --> 00:07:44,525
Of course. But look at this.
211
00:07:44,526 --> 00:07:47,094
On his profile page, under "Works At,"
212
00:07:47,095 --> 00:07:49,062
he wrote "I.T. Specialist."
213
00:07:49,063 --> 00:07:52,733
Now, given the technical nature
of the attacks against my family
214
00:07:52,734 --> 00:07:54,357
and his history with
my wife, I would say
215
00:07:54,358 --> 00:07:57,004
that Ray Merchant has
both means and motive.
216
00:07:57,005 --> 00:07:59,473
He might.
217
00:07:59,474 --> 00:08:00,908
As I said, we're looking carefully
218
00:08:00,909 --> 00:08:02,643
at a range of potential suspects.
219
00:08:02,644 --> 00:08:05,612
But I assure you, we'll
look at Mr. Merchant as well.
220
00:08:05,613 --> 00:08:06,813
When?
221
00:08:06,814 --> 00:08:08,582
Look, the main thing
222
00:08:08,583 --> 00:08:10,246
is for you and your
family to stay calm...
223
00:08:10,247 --> 00:08:12,719
My family is under
attack, Agent Santangelo.
224
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,955
I asked you a question.
225
00:08:14,956 --> 00:08:17,356
When are you going to
look into Ray Merchant?
226
00:08:18,091 --> 00:08:19,960
As soon as possible.
227
00:08:19,961 --> 00:08:21,962
Thank you for your time.
228
00:08:21,963 --> 00:08:23,463
Of course.
229
00:08:23,464 --> 00:08:26,466
My regards to the secretary.
230
00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:28,658
Bess, I'm thinking
231
00:08:28,659 --> 00:08:30,660
you should hold off
on your trip to Vietnam
232
00:08:30,661 --> 00:08:32,228
until things are settled with China.
233
00:08:32,229 --> 00:08:34,297
With respect, sir, I disagree.
234
00:08:34,298 --> 00:08:37,033
Oh, I think the catfish can wait.
235
00:08:37,034 --> 00:08:40,402
But our response to
China's aggression can't.
236
00:08:41,171 --> 00:08:42,572
They're up to something.
237
00:08:42,573 --> 00:08:45,340
I don't... I don't know what.
238
00:08:46,242 --> 00:08:48,277
Best guess?
239
00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:52,148
They're using this... random event
240
00:08:52,149 --> 00:08:56,486
with these activists showing
up on Shipwreck Reef as...
241
00:08:56,487 --> 00:08:58,055
pretext to go big
242
00:08:58,056 --> 00:08:59,656
in the South China Sea.
243
00:08:59,657 --> 00:09:01,224
To, what, leverage us
244
00:09:01,225 --> 00:09:03,460
into accepting their territorial claims?
245
00:09:03,461 --> 00:09:06,196
Well, why else would
they be so intransigent
246
00:09:06,197 --> 00:09:08,798
when there's so much at stake?
247
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,067
I mean, maybe they've decided
248
00:09:11,068 --> 00:09:12,736
this is their moment.
249
00:09:12,737 --> 00:09:14,437
So what do you suggest we do?
250
00:09:14,438 --> 00:09:16,106
Well,
251
00:09:16,107 --> 00:09:18,373
go to Vietnam.
252
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:21,977
Together.
253
00:09:23,613 --> 00:09:26,016
A presidential visit would
certainly send the Chinese
254
00:09:26,017 --> 00:09:28,918
a message that we're not blinking.
255
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:32,422
Furthermore, the catfish
deal got hung up in part
256
00:09:32,423 --> 00:09:34,057
because Vietnam was holding out
257
00:09:34,058 --> 00:09:36,626
for a small amount of
lethal military aid.
258
00:09:36,627 --> 00:09:39,629
I propose that if China
hasn't released the activists
259
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:41,631
by the time we touch down,
260
00:09:41,632 --> 00:09:43,266
we give Vietnam the kitchen sink.
261
00:09:43,267 --> 00:09:47,804
Wow. Chen must have really
pissed you off this morning.
262
00:09:47,805 --> 00:09:50,539
You'd think he'd know better by now.
263
00:09:51,975 --> 00:09:53,443
How does this
264
00:09:53,444 --> 00:09:55,779
comport with our values?
265
00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:59,416
Vietnam's human rights record
isn't exactly inspirational.
266
00:09:59,417 --> 00:10:01,584
Which is why we'll
include certain benchmarks
267
00:10:01,585 --> 00:10:04,587
that they'll have to meet to
get the hardware they want.
268
00:10:04,588 --> 00:10:07,524
You know, the last time I saw Vietnam
269
00:10:07,525 --> 00:10:09,893
was at the end of my
second tour of duty.
270
00:10:09,894 --> 00:10:11,428
Well, no time like the present.
271
00:10:11,429 --> 00:10:12,962
You'd not only be sending
272
00:10:12,963 --> 00:10:16,099
a message to China but to
the Evans campaign as well.
273
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,701
Show that just because you're
running as an independent,
274
00:10:18,702 --> 00:10:20,270
you haven't gone soft on defense.
275
00:10:20,271 --> 00:10:22,850
Which is something that Evans
is always going on about.
276
00:10:22,851 --> 00:10:24,637
Yeah. Pretty rich coming
from a guy who hasn't seen
277
00:10:24,638 --> 00:10:26,061
the inside of a recruitment center,
278
00:10:26,062 --> 00:10:27,339
much less a combat zone.
279
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,375
Well, we all serve in our own way.
280
00:10:29,376 --> 00:10:30,342
Yes.
281
00:10:30,343 --> 00:10:31,711
And you served
282
00:10:31,712 --> 00:10:32,678
with honor.
283
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,647
I mean, if you were to revisit
284
00:10:34,648 --> 00:10:36,782
some of your old... I'm not trading
285
00:10:36,783 --> 00:10:39,118
on my military service
for the damn election.
286
00:10:39,119 --> 00:10:40,086
Of course not.
287
00:10:40,087 --> 00:10:41,220
Still,
288
00:10:41,221 --> 00:10:42,722
Bess makes a good point.
289
00:10:42,723 --> 00:10:44,323
China's pushing us.
290
00:10:44,324 --> 00:10:45,791
We need to push back.
291
00:10:45,792 --> 00:10:47,626
The trip's on.
292
00:10:47,627 --> 00:10:49,161
That'll be all.
293
00:10:49,162 --> 00:10:51,462
- Thank you, sir.
- Yes, sir.
294
00:10:57,837 --> 00:10:59,939
Mr. President, I'd
heard wonderful things
295
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:02,074
about the progress
your country has made,
296
00:11:02,075 --> 00:11:03,843
but those reports pale in comparison
297
00:11:03,844 --> 00:11:05,377
to seeing it firsthand.
298
00:11:05,378 --> 00:11:07,413
Thank you, Mr. President.
299
00:11:07,414 --> 00:11:09,315
We felt you would be more interested
300
00:11:09,316 --> 00:11:10,850
to see Ho Chi Minh City,
301
00:11:10,851 --> 00:11:12,618
which you would
remember from your youth,
302
00:11:12,619 --> 00:11:13,753
than the capital.
303
00:11:13,754 --> 00:11:14,820
If you had told me
304
00:11:14,821 --> 00:11:16,222
when I was a 20-year-old lieutenant
305
00:11:16,223 --> 00:11:18,166
that all these years
later, this is where I'd be,
306
00:11:18,167 --> 00:11:21,301
I'd have told you you're crazy.
307
00:11:21,994 --> 00:11:23,462
If you had told me
308
00:11:23,463 --> 00:11:25,831
that I would even survive the war,
309
00:11:25,832 --> 00:11:29,100
I would have told you you were crazy.
310
00:11:30,469 --> 00:11:33,339
Look at them, strolling and chatting.
311
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,574
You'd never guess they fought
a war against each other.
312
00:11:35,575 --> 00:11:39,011
Well, our countries
have come a long way.
313
00:11:39,012 --> 00:11:42,047
Yes, but not so far that the
president of the United States
314
00:11:42,048 --> 00:11:43,516
just drops by to say hello.
315
00:11:43,517 --> 00:11:46,051
Again, I do apologize
for the short notice.
316
00:11:46,052 --> 00:11:48,487
No, it's an honor.
317
00:11:48,488 --> 00:11:50,823
But with all due
respect, Madam Secretary,
318
00:11:50,824 --> 00:11:52,657
I'm waiting for the catch.
319
00:11:53,425 --> 00:11:55,528
We came here to discuss
320
00:11:55,529 --> 00:11:57,630
the military aid portion
of the trade deal.
321
00:11:57,631 --> 00:11:59,165
Which we will have to insist upon
322
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:01,233
if any deal is to go through.
323
00:12:01,234 --> 00:12:03,636
The United States is prepared to lift
324
00:12:03,637 --> 00:12:06,537
the arms embargo entirely.
325
00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:11,676
What's the matter,
catfish got your tongue?
326
00:12:13,979 --> 00:12:16,282
We were prepared for a much bigger fight
327
00:12:16,283 --> 00:12:18,651
over much less.
328
00:12:18,652 --> 00:12:22,288
Well, here's the catch
you were waiting for.
329
00:12:22,289 --> 00:12:23,789
There are certain human rights
330
00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:26,258
and civil society benchmarks
331
00:12:26,259 --> 00:12:28,894
that Vietnam will have
to meet in order to get
332
00:12:28,895 --> 00:12:30,863
the bigger ticket military items.
333
00:12:30,864 --> 00:12:34,400
Dissidents for destroyers. Mm...
334
00:12:34,401 --> 00:12:38,671
Of course, the timing of all this
335
00:12:38,672 --> 00:12:42,007
makes me wonder if this sudden windfall
336
00:12:42,008 --> 00:12:44,109
has something to do with the activists
337
00:12:44,110 --> 00:12:45,778
China recently detained.
338
00:12:45,779 --> 00:12:48,047
Let's just say that we value
339
00:12:48,048 --> 00:12:50,883
your sovereignty in the South China Sea
340
00:12:50,884 --> 00:12:53,217
as much as you do.
341
00:12:57,256 --> 00:12:59,859
Sir, you wanted to see me?
342
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:03,062
Just wanted to say nice
work putting this together.
343
00:13:03,063 --> 00:13:04,163
Thank you.
344
00:13:04,164 --> 00:13:05,297
Yeah.
345
00:13:05,298 --> 00:13:06,765
It was good that I came here.
346
00:13:06,766 --> 00:13:09,133
Well, I think so.
347
00:13:12,204 --> 00:13:14,440
The city's so different now,
348
00:13:14,441 --> 00:13:16,542
but the air...
349
00:13:16,543 --> 00:13:19,211
smells, feels the same.
350
00:13:19,212 --> 00:13:20,546
Humidity,
351
00:13:20,547 --> 00:13:23,314
smoke from the cooking fires.
352
00:13:25,517 --> 00:13:27,987
Just the faintest hint of jasmine.
353
00:13:27,988 --> 00:13:29,121
Oh, I understand.
354
00:13:29,122 --> 00:13:30,723
I think.
355
00:13:30,724 --> 00:13:32,992
Every time I go back
to the Middle East...
356
00:13:32,993 --> 00:13:34,994
the heat,
357
00:13:34,995 --> 00:13:36,362
the sand in my clothes.
358
00:13:36,363 --> 00:13:38,264
Well...
359
00:13:38,265 --> 00:13:40,833
it brings a lot of it back.
360
00:13:40,834 --> 00:13:43,134
Not all of it welcome.
361
00:13:47,439 --> 00:13:50,242
Russell's always after me
to tout my service more.
362
00:13:50,243 --> 00:13:52,778
Well, you certainly could.
363
00:13:52,779 --> 00:13:54,313
Got a lot to be proud of.
364
00:13:54,314 --> 00:13:55,447
Don't get me wrong,
365
00:13:55,448 --> 00:13:57,882
I'm proud to have served, but, uh...
366
00:13:59,952 --> 00:14:02,420
...as for what I actually did...
367
00:14:04,223 --> 00:14:05,857
One time...
368
00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:10,195
I came this close
369
00:14:10,196 --> 00:14:12,298
to shooting a woman
370
00:14:12,299 --> 00:14:14,599
and the baby in her arms.
371
00:14:16,001 --> 00:14:18,269
Yep.
372
00:14:20,973 --> 00:14:25,311
I was all jacked up on
adrenaline from a firefight.
373
00:14:25,312 --> 00:14:27,646
Heard footsteps behind
me, so I whirled around,
374
00:14:27,647 --> 00:14:29,914
weapon up, safety off.
375
00:14:31,917 --> 00:14:34,520
I honestly can't tell you
why I didn't pull the trigger.
376
00:14:34,521 --> 00:14:37,890
It sure wasn't wisdom or heroism
377
00:14:37,891 --> 00:14:41,759
or... leadership.
378
00:14:44,997 --> 00:14:47,298
It was luck.
379
00:14:49,201 --> 00:14:53,171
Flash of a feeling, at best.
380
00:14:55,207 --> 00:14:57,609
And that's the difference
between me living
381
00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:59,912
in the White House
382
00:14:59,913 --> 00:15:04,315
instead of on the
street, like so many guys.
383
00:15:10,357 --> 00:15:12,280
Listen to the old marine go on and on.
384
00:15:12,281 --> 00:15:14,509
- No, no, it's okay. I'm...
- Jet lag.
385
00:15:14,510 --> 00:15:16,981
Mr. President, Madam Secretary,
pardon my interruption.
386
00:15:16,982 --> 00:15:18,052
Blake, what's up?
387
00:15:18,053 --> 00:15:20,353
Minister Chen is here and
wants to see you immediately.
388
00:15:21,188 --> 00:15:22,656
Well, that didn't take long.
389
00:15:22,657 --> 00:15:24,757
Guess they got our message.
390
00:15:31,966 --> 00:15:34,068
Minister Chen, what a pleasant surprise.
391
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:35,336
Is it?
392
00:15:35,337 --> 00:15:36,871
Did you honestly think we would let
393
00:15:36,872 --> 00:15:39,240
these outrageous
provocations go unanswered?
394
00:15:39,241 --> 00:15:41,409
Did you honestly think
395
00:15:41,410 --> 00:15:42,977
we would?
396
00:15:42,978 --> 00:15:45,513
The primary purpose of my visit is
397
00:15:45,514 --> 00:15:48,115
to remind Vietnam we
have many levers to pull
398
00:15:48,116 --> 00:15:50,618
if they choose to take
our friendship for granted.
399
00:15:50,619 --> 00:15:53,687
That's what you call
your history with Vietnam?
400
00:15:53,688 --> 00:15:56,557
A friendship based on mutual respect?
401
00:15:56,558 --> 00:15:59,193
That you would presume to lecture me
402
00:15:59,194 --> 00:16:01,295
on friendship with
Vietnam, when your country
403
00:16:01,296 --> 00:16:04,832
killed millions of
Vietnamese, would be laughable
404
00:16:04,833 --> 00:16:07,967
if it weren't so sickening.
405
00:16:17,178 --> 00:16:20,448
Those activists are innocent,
406
00:16:20,449 --> 00:16:24,285
and their families are terrified.
407
00:16:24,286 --> 00:16:26,187
Give 'em back, Ming,
408
00:16:26,188 --> 00:16:28,855
before this goes any further.
409
00:16:30,324 --> 00:16:32,226
To the contrary,
410
00:16:32,227 --> 00:16:34,962
the Ministry of Justice
has moved up their trial.
411
00:16:34,963 --> 00:16:38,231
Espionage being such a serious crime.
412
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:42,468
I warned you not to
meddle in our affairs.
413
00:16:43,404 --> 00:16:47,273
Now there will be consequences.
414
00:17:18,939 --> 00:17:21,041
Tired of those extra pounds
415
00:17:21,042 --> 00:17:23,777
but even more tired of
trying to take them off?
416
00:17:23,778 --> 00:17:27,047
Old-school sit-ups aren't just
hard... they don't even work.
417
00:17:27,048 --> 00:17:30,217
So smash those pounds
away with Pound Smasher.
418
00:17:30,218 --> 00:17:32,353
Pound Smasher's
patented ergonomic design
419
00:17:32,354 --> 00:17:34,255
will melt your waistline fast.
420
00:17:34,256 --> 00:17:37,558
Just minutes a day will
take those belt sizes away.
421
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:40,928
- So don't just take those extra pounds lying down.
- What the hell?
422
00:17:40,929 --> 00:17:42,596
Smash 'em with Pound Smasher.
423
00:17:42,597 --> 00:17:45,571
Dump that pony keg for
a six-pack and get the...
424
00:17:45,572 --> 00:17:46,475
Dad!
425
00:17:46,476 --> 00:17:47,768
I'm here! I'm down here!
426
00:17:47,769 --> 00:17:50,037
What's going on? Why
are all the lights on?
427
00:17:50,038 --> 00:17:51,939
It's like a Stephen King novel up there.
428
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:54,808
I don't know. It's...
probably just a power surge.
429
00:17:57,846 --> 00:17:59,813
Dr. McCord, is everything all right?
430
00:17:59,814 --> 00:18:01,415
All right, all right, it's okay.
431
00:18:01,416 --> 00:18:03,784
Hey, easy, easy, easy, easy. It's okay.
432
00:18:07,555 --> 00:18:15,376
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
433
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:22,848
We've taken the house's
appliances offline
434
00:18:22,849 --> 00:18:25,417
so they can't be hacked again.
435
00:18:25,418 --> 00:18:27,920
They shouldn't have been able
to be hacked in the first place.
436
00:18:29,222 --> 00:18:31,256
Did the hackers leave any signatures
437
00:18:31,257 --> 00:18:34,326
- that you can work with?
- So far, it's untraceable.
438
00:18:34,327 --> 00:18:35,168
Hmm.
439
00:18:35,169 --> 00:18:36,669
I understand your frustration.
440
00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:38,738
No, I-I don't think you do.
441
00:18:38,739 --> 00:18:40,440
We live surrounded by security,
442
00:18:40,441 --> 00:18:42,408
and yet somehow these people managed
443
00:18:42,409 --> 00:18:44,310
to essentially get into our home.
444
00:18:44,311 --> 00:18:45,654
Dr. McCord, with all due respect,
445
00:18:45,655 --> 00:18:48,848
whoever did this,
this is what they want:
446
00:18:48,849 --> 00:18:50,149
for you to lose confidence
447
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:52,285
in the people charged with
protecting your family.
448
00:18:52,286 --> 00:18:55,288
Well, with all due
respect, it's working.
449
00:18:55,289 --> 00:18:57,156
Did you look into Ray Merchant?
450
00:18:57,157 --> 00:18:58,620
He's part of our investigation, yes.
451
00:18:58,621 --> 00:18:59,625
And what did you find?
452
00:18:59,626 --> 00:19:00,993
He's a private citizen.
453
00:19:00,994 --> 00:19:02,895
I can't share those
kinds of details with you.
454
00:19:02,896 --> 00:19:06,099
No leads, no information
sharing, and yet you expect
455
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,234
the secretary of state and her family
456
00:19:08,235 --> 00:19:10,103
to stay in a house
that can't be secured.
457
00:19:10,104 --> 00:19:12,872
Do I have that right, Agent Santangelo?
458
00:19:12,873 --> 00:19:14,040
What the hell has to happen
459
00:19:14,041 --> 00:19:15,742
for you people to actually do your jobs?
460
00:19:15,743 --> 00:19:17,510
Dad...
461
00:19:17,511 --> 00:19:19,345
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.
462
00:19:19,346 --> 00:19:21,246
Go upstairs. I'll-I'll
be up in a minute.
463
00:19:26,452 --> 00:19:28,755
Again, the house is offline.
464
00:19:28,756 --> 00:19:32,024
Diplomatic Security's on high alert.
465
00:19:32,025 --> 00:19:34,060
This house is probably the safest place
466
00:19:34,061 --> 00:19:35,861
the secretary could be.
467
00:19:37,563 --> 00:19:39,966
And what does that tell you?
468
00:19:39,967 --> 00:19:40,967
How was your trip?
469
00:19:40,968 --> 00:19:42,769
So relaxing.
470
00:19:42,770 --> 00:19:44,370
What can I help you with?
471
00:19:44,371 --> 00:19:46,105
I'm hearing things.
472
00:19:46,106 --> 00:19:48,641
Inside or outside of your head?
473
00:19:48,642 --> 00:19:51,411
A reporter told me he heard
there was a security breach
474
00:19:51,412 --> 00:19:52,845
at your home last night?
475
00:19:52,846 --> 00:19:55,109
Well, then that reporter just
earned himself an exclusive
476
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:58,084
- with me at an unspecified future date.
- Why?
477
00:19:58,085 --> 00:19:59,708
Because he's not going
to run that story.
478
00:19:59,709 --> 00:20:02,822
I... I...
479
00:20:02,823 --> 00:20:05,158
My...
480
00:20:05,159 --> 00:20:08,394
family and I are being stalked
481
00:20:08,395 --> 00:20:11,798
by a very capable individual or group.
482
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:12,999
Oh, my God.
483
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,367
Well, it is what it is.
484
00:20:14,368 --> 00:20:16,769
But stalkers feed on engagement.
485
00:20:16,770 --> 00:20:18,171
So if this becomes news,
486
00:20:18,172 --> 00:20:20,740
then they will have
achieved their goal, which,
487
00:20:20,741 --> 00:20:22,275
in turn, will encourage them
488
00:20:22,276 --> 00:20:23,810
to continue. You see where I'm going.
489
00:20:23,811 --> 00:20:27,146
I should be able to move him
off without giving anything away.
490
00:20:27,147 --> 00:20:28,481
Yeah. Thank you.
491
00:20:28,482 --> 00:20:32,785
Well, it's a small price
to pay for 20 minutes alone
492
00:20:32,786 --> 00:20:35,121
with our charming and
delightful secretary of state.
493
00:20:35,122 --> 00:20:36,456
She sounds great.
494
00:20:36,457 --> 00:20:37,857
I'd like to meet her someday.
495
00:20:39,059 --> 00:20:40,660
Oh, more good news, I bet.
496
00:20:40,661 --> 00:20:42,395
- Welcome back, ma'am.
- Thank you.
497
00:20:42,396 --> 00:20:45,565
China appears to be
acting on its threats.
498
00:20:45,566 --> 00:20:47,967
- What's going on?
- Well, as you know, the USS
499
00:20:47,968 --> 00:20:49,602
Wayne Morris Carrier Strike Group
500
00:20:49,603 --> 00:20:51,671
has moved into the South China Sea.
501
00:20:51,672 --> 00:20:55,374
Now Chinese fighters are flying
dangerously close to our ships.
502
00:20:55,375 --> 00:20:58,811
Boy, I wish I knew what
they were playing at.
503
00:20:58,812 --> 00:21:00,880
Yeah. And, uh, one other thing.
504
00:21:00,881 --> 00:21:02,915
It seems China plans
505
00:21:02,916 --> 00:21:06,552
to recall their pandas from
the Smithsonian's National Zoo.
506
00:21:06,553 --> 00:21:07,687
Their pandas?
507
00:21:07,688 --> 00:21:08,955
From the National Zoo.
508
00:21:08,956 --> 00:21:10,156
Yes, ma'am.
509
00:21:10,157 --> 00:21:11,858
I thought they were a gift.
510
00:21:11,859 --> 00:21:13,025
They were on loan,
511
00:21:13,026 --> 00:21:15,127
and, apparently, China
512
00:21:15,128 --> 00:21:17,196
can take them back whenever they wish.
513
00:21:17,197 --> 00:21:18,931
So, not a gift then.
514
00:21:18,932 --> 00:21:20,900
Okay, thank you.
515
00:21:20,901 --> 00:21:23,236
Holding our citizens,
516
00:21:23,237 --> 00:21:25,638
buzzing our ships, taking our pandas.
517
00:21:25,639 --> 00:21:27,640
Can't say they're not
covering their bases.
518
00:21:27,641 --> 00:21:29,509
You tell me there's
fresh coffee in here.
519
00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:32,211
There is. Also Jay and Tom Murphy,
520
00:21:32,212 --> 00:21:34,714
the head of the Ocean Relief Foundation.
521
00:21:34,715 --> 00:21:37,049
Ah. Thanks.
522
00:21:38,585 --> 00:21:40,253
Mr. Murphy,
523
00:21:40,254 --> 00:21:41,721
pleasure to meet you.
524
00:21:41,722 --> 00:21:44,490
I'm sorry it's under such
challenging circumstances.
525
00:21:44,491 --> 00:21:45,825
Thank you, Madam Secretary.
526
00:21:45,826 --> 00:21:47,260
I was just assuring Mr. Murphy
527
00:21:47,261 --> 00:21:50,429
that the State Department is
deeply concerned about the fate
528
00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:52,899
of the Ocean Relief
members in Chinese custody.
529
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,166
And I was just about to say
530
00:21:54,167 --> 00:21:56,201
you sure have a funny way of showing it.
531
00:21:58,237 --> 00:22:00,907
I sense your disrespectful tone
532
00:22:00,908 --> 00:22:02,642
is meant to goad me into asking,
533
00:22:02,643 --> 00:22:04,176
"What do you mean by that?"
534
00:22:04,177 --> 00:22:05,645
Our server.
535
00:22:05,646 --> 00:22:07,246
Well, it was hacked.
536
00:22:07,247 --> 00:22:09,015
Pretty much fried.
537
00:22:09,016 --> 00:22:12,051
Years of files, terabytes
of heavily encrypted data
538
00:22:12,052 --> 00:22:13,686
just... pfft... gone, overnight.
539
00:22:13,687 --> 00:22:16,589
Curious timing, no?
540
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:18,558
Indeed. Have you spoken with the FBI?
541
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:19,926
The FBI.
542
00:22:19,927 --> 00:22:21,790
As if they haven't been
harassing us for years.
543
00:22:21,791 --> 00:22:24,764
Look, uh, Madam Secretary,
544
00:22:24,765 --> 00:22:27,900
we tell the people
what they need to hear.
545
00:22:27,901 --> 00:22:29,869
Okay? Big corporations
546
00:22:29,870 --> 00:22:31,537
and their lackeys in government
547
00:22:31,538 --> 00:22:32,738
don't appreciate that.
548
00:22:32,739 --> 00:22:34,840
I-I'm sorry, but are
you kidding me with this?
549
00:22:34,841 --> 00:22:37,310
We're trying to free your
colleagues and-and you come here
550
00:22:37,311 --> 00:22:39,378
and spin out some paranoid fantasy?
551
00:22:39,379 --> 00:22:41,614
Mr. Murphy, we're on your side.
552
00:22:41,615 --> 00:22:43,816
Why would we hack your server?
553
00:22:43,817 --> 00:22:46,452
The U.S. and China are business
partners in the South China Sea
554
00:22:46,453 --> 00:22:47,756
just as often as they're rivals.
555
00:22:47,757 --> 00:22:49,121
You're not gonna let little things
556
00:22:49,122 --> 00:22:50,590
like the health of the planet
557
00:22:50,591 --> 00:22:52,191
and food security for millions of people
558
00:22:52,192 --> 00:22:53,525
get in the way of all that money.
559
00:22:53,526 --> 00:22:55,294
Uh-huh. Got it.
560
00:22:55,295 --> 00:22:56,529
You're pretty self-righteous for a guy
561
00:22:56,530 --> 00:22:57,851
who sent a bunch of 20-somethings
562
00:22:57,852 --> 00:22:59,753
into one of the most
dangerous places on Earth.
563
00:22:59,754 --> 00:23:00,866
They knew what they were
564
00:23:00,867 --> 00:23:02,468
getting into.
565
00:23:02,469 --> 00:23:05,071
Based on my understanding
566
00:23:05,072 --> 00:23:08,240
of the Chinese judicial system...
567
00:23:08,241 --> 00:23:11,209
I can assure you they did not.
568
00:23:13,846 --> 00:23:15,414
Tell me, uh,
569
00:23:15,415 --> 00:23:17,883
when did your server go down?
570
00:23:17,884 --> 00:23:19,318
Uh...
571
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:21,887
shortly after we, uh, lost contact
572
00:23:21,888 --> 00:23:24,089
with Becca and the others.
573
00:23:26,192 --> 00:23:28,828
Mr. Murphy, thanks for coming in.
574
00:23:28,829 --> 00:23:30,730
We didn't hack your server,
575
00:23:30,731 --> 00:23:32,674
and we're gonna try and
get your colleagues back,
576
00:23:32,675 --> 00:23:35,301
and I will keep you up
to date with our progress.
577
00:23:35,302 --> 00:23:38,604
Thanks for coming in. Blake.
578
00:23:38,605 --> 00:23:40,206
Well...
579
00:23:40,207 --> 00:23:42,308
he was right about one thing...
580
00:23:42,309 --> 00:23:44,110
the timing is pretty strange.
581
00:23:44,111 --> 00:23:45,311
I think it's safe
582
00:23:45,312 --> 00:23:48,381
to assume the U.S.
didn't hack Ocean Relief,
583
00:23:48,382 --> 00:23:52,418
so that leaves the most obvious suspect.
584
00:23:52,419 --> 00:23:55,254
Exactly.
585
00:23:55,255 --> 00:23:57,390
You were right, ma'am.
The root kit involved
586
00:23:57,391 --> 00:24:00,893
had all the signatures of the
other Chinese cyber attacks.
587
00:24:00,894 --> 00:24:02,895
Do you think this is just revenge
588
00:24:02,896 --> 00:24:05,731
for the activists making
the Chinese look bad,
589
00:24:05,732 --> 00:24:07,366
or something more concrete?
590
00:24:07,367 --> 00:24:09,135
Um, Madam Secretary, if I may...
591
00:24:10,671 --> 00:24:13,174
Moments prior to their capture,
the activists on Shipwreck Reef
592
00:24:13,175 --> 00:24:16,175
uploaded a couple of video files
to the Ocean Relief's network,
593
00:24:16,176 --> 00:24:18,177
and the Chinese used
594
00:24:18,178 --> 00:24:20,161
a brute-force attack to
gain access to the server,
595
00:24:20,162 --> 00:24:22,314
then initiated a script
to wipe all the files.
596
00:24:22,315 --> 00:24:23,618
They weren't taking any chances.
597
00:24:23,619 --> 00:24:24,750
Well, can you recover 'em?
598
00:24:24,751 --> 00:24:27,353
I'll do my absolute best, ma'am.
599
00:24:27,354 --> 00:24:29,455
- Great work so far.
- Oh, thank you, ma'am.
600
00:24:29,456 --> 00:24:31,257
You know you don't have to say "ma'am"
601
00:24:31,258 --> 00:24:32,658
after every time, Captain.
602
00:24:32,659 --> 00:24:34,660
Yes, ma'am. Ah, sorry.
603
00:24:34,661 --> 00:24:37,430
It's just, uh, habit.
And also... nerves.
604
00:24:37,431 --> 00:24:39,498
You're kind of my hero.
605
00:24:39,499 --> 00:24:40,900
Happens to the best of us.
606
00:24:40,901 --> 00:24:43,402
You're on secondment to Oliver Shaw
607
00:24:43,403 --> 00:24:44,870
- from CyberCom?
- Yes.
608
00:24:44,871 --> 00:24:48,107
So how come you're not in Silicon Valley
609
00:24:48,108 --> 00:24:50,076
inventing distracting apps?
610
00:24:50,077 --> 00:24:53,311
I like fighting bad guys.
611
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,948
Me, too.
612
00:24:55,949 --> 00:24:58,484
Okay, obviously, these
activists stumbled on something
613
00:24:58,485 --> 00:25:00,586
some of the Chinese
wanted to keep hidden.
614
00:25:00,587 --> 00:25:02,453
Question is, what?
615
00:25:08,126 --> 00:25:10,455
I got a call from FBI Director
616
00:25:10,456 --> 00:25:12,496
- Doherty this morning.
- Calling to complain
617
00:25:12,497 --> 00:25:14,040
that I yelled at Santangelo, no doubt.
618
00:25:14,041 --> 00:25:14,983
No, I think
619
00:25:14,984 --> 00:25:16,718
it was for the opposite reason.
620
00:25:16,719 --> 00:25:18,286
It was like a customer service call.
621
00:25:18,287 --> 00:25:20,722
He wanted to make sure
that I'm satisfied.
622
00:25:20,723 --> 00:25:21,923
Good.
623
00:25:21,924 --> 00:25:24,159
No, Henry, not good.
624
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,961
These are the people charged
with protecting our lives.
625
00:25:26,962 --> 00:25:28,396
We need to trust them.
626
00:25:28,397 --> 00:25:30,298
What if they're not up to the job, huh?
627
00:25:30,299 --> 00:25:32,867
The FBI and Diplomatic Security.
Do you ever think about that?
628
00:25:32,868 --> 00:25:35,503
No. Because, if I did, I'd have to quit.
629
00:25:35,504 --> 00:25:38,006
Look, I know that
630
00:25:38,007 --> 00:25:41,443
this Ray Merchant
theory is compelling...
631
00:25:41,444 --> 00:25:43,411
Don't talk to me like I'm crazy.
632
00:25:43,412 --> 00:25:44,913
Then stop acting like it.
633
00:25:44,914 --> 00:25:47,315
The kids were terrified last
night. Do you understand that?
634
00:25:47,316 --> 00:25:48,450
Yes, and you
635
00:25:48,451 --> 00:25:50,285
getting obsessed about it isn't helpful.
636
00:25:50,286 --> 00:25:51,619
I am not just
637
00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:53,820
- gonna sit back and do nothing.
- Be better if you did.
638
00:25:53,821 --> 00:25:55,581
- Am I embarrassing you now?
- You know what?
639
00:25:55,605 --> 00:25:57,659
We're both stressed and
tired, so I'm gonna choose
640
00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:58,993
to believe you didn't mean that.
641
00:25:58,994 --> 00:26:00,827
- Elizabeth, I...
- No, I got to go.
642
00:26:02,597 --> 00:26:03,832
So, the pack
643
00:26:03,833 --> 00:26:05,800
was all over me about
China at the briefing.
644
00:26:05,801 --> 00:26:08,069
But you'll be happy to know
that the reporter I mentioned
645
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:09,844
is quietly awaiting
his one-on-one with you.
646
00:26:10,406 --> 00:26:13,340
- Thank you. Well done.
- We're not sending 'em back.
647
00:26:14,275 --> 00:26:15,410
Russell Jackson, ma'am.
648
00:26:15,411 --> 00:26:16,845
Who are we not sending back?
649
00:26:16,846 --> 00:26:19,114
What do you mean, who? The pandas.
650
00:26:19,115 --> 00:26:21,850
Not Tian Tian, not Bao
Bao, not little Bei Bei...
651
00:26:21,851 --> 00:26:25,186
none of them. They're ours,
and they're staying right here,
652
00:26:25,187 --> 00:26:27,856
- do you understand?
- Technically, they're not ours.
653
00:26:27,857 --> 00:26:30,400
China's thrown the rule book out
the window, so don't talk to me
654
00:26:30,401 --> 00:26:33,361
about "technically." It's time
to draw a line in the sand.
655
00:26:33,362 --> 00:26:34,896
Well, I couldn't agree more.
656
00:26:34,897 --> 00:26:38,633
I'm just... I'm not so sure
this is quite the issue.
657
00:26:38,634 --> 00:26:42,237
Oh, no? Then let me ask
you this: How many people
658
00:26:42,238 --> 00:26:46,608
visit the National Zoo each
year just to see those pandas?
659
00:26:46,609 --> 00:26:48,409
- Millions.
- That's right.
660
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:50,912
Millions. So, on top of
all the other humiliations
661
00:26:50,913 --> 00:26:53,481
that China is visiting upon our heads,
662
00:26:53,482 --> 00:26:55,783
those millions of voters
663
00:26:55,784 --> 00:26:57,085
are about to watch us surrender
664
00:26:57,086 --> 00:26:59,687
their favorite charismatic megafauna...
665
00:26:59,688 --> 00:27:02,123
the very crown jewels
of our National Zoo...
666
00:27:02,124 --> 00:27:03,725
without a single damn shot!
667
00:27:03,726 --> 00:27:06,127
Not on my watch, lady.
It is not happening.
668
00:27:06,128 --> 00:27:07,428
So...
669
00:27:07,429 --> 00:27:09,697
you want us to stop them?
670
00:27:09,698 --> 00:27:11,733
What do you think I'm here for?
671
00:27:11,734 --> 00:27:14,802
Well, just... No
offense, Russell, but I...
672
00:27:14,803 --> 00:27:16,871
Don't you think, maybe,
you're-you're letting
673
00:27:16,872 --> 00:27:19,174
the tail wag the panda here?
674
00:27:19,175 --> 00:27:21,309
Oh, you want to make fun?
675
00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:22,977
- Mm...
- Well, go ahead.
676
00:27:22,978 --> 00:27:26,447
Guess what. In international relations,
677
00:27:26,448 --> 00:27:28,216
symbols matter.
678
00:27:28,217 --> 00:27:30,752
In elections, even more so.
I'll give you another example.
679
00:27:30,753 --> 00:27:34,322
At the zoo, they've got this
camera set up in their habitat.
680
00:27:34,323 --> 00:27:37,058
- Panda Cam.
- That's right. One day, very soon,
681
00:27:37,059 --> 00:27:39,027
the Panda Cam will go dark.
682
00:27:39,028 --> 00:27:40,895
And when it does, and kids
683
00:27:40,896 --> 00:27:43,164
all over America start crying
684
00:27:43,165 --> 00:27:45,733
'cause Bei Bei's not
in his little house,
685
00:27:45,734 --> 00:27:47,936
who do you think their
parents are gonna blame?
686
00:27:47,937 --> 00:27:50,572
China gets it, believe me.
687
00:27:50,573 --> 00:27:52,006
Uh, so do I.
688
00:27:53,776 --> 00:27:56,443
We're on it.
689
00:27:57,345 --> 00:27:58,980
Wait.
690
00:27:58,981 --> 00:28:00,348
You're a Panda-Cammer, too?
691
00:28:00,349 --> 00:28:01,882
Shut up.
692
00:28:03,218 --> 00:28:05,453
It's relaxing.
693
00:28:05,454 --> 00:28:08,155
It's good for my blood pressure.
694
00:28:09,824 --> 00:28:11,292
Who saw that coming?
695
00:28:11,293 --> 00:28:13,161
A-mazing.
696
00:28:13,162 --> 00:28:14,729
Well, you heard the man.
697
00:28:14,730 --> 00:28:16,864
Save our pandas.
698
00:28:16,865 --> 00:28:18,266
Oh, no.
699
00:28:18,267 --> 00:28:19,734
Get on it.
700
00:28:19,735 --> 00:28:21,703
What do you got for me?
701
00:28:21,704 --> 00:28:23,137
Something I shouldn't.
702
00:28:23,138 --> 00:28:25,506
My buddy at the Bureau came through.
703
00:28:25,507 --> 00:28:27,442
He got me some intel on your friend,
704
00:28:27,443 --> 00:28:28,443
Ray Merchant.
705
00:28:28,444 --> 00:28:29,544
And?
706
00:28:29,545 --> 00:28:32,347
So, after UVA, Merchant
707
00:28:32,348 --> 00:28:34,891
applied for government work but
couldn't get security clearance.
708
00:28:34,892 --> 00:28:36,551
Problem with his background check.
709
00:28:36,552 --> 00:28:38,719
Something he could blame Elizabeth for.
710
00:28:39,487 --> 00:28:40,755
Unable to find work
711
00:28:40,756 --> 00:28:42,757
in the hallowed halls of government
712
00:28:42,758 --> 00:28:44,525
writing reports nobody would ever read,
713
00:28:44,526 --> 00:28:46,494
our young misfit goes
back to school again.
714
00:28:46,495 --> 00:28:47,495
Computers this time?
715
00:28:47,496 --> 00:28:49,230
Cyber security, to be exact.
716
00:28:49,231 --> 00:28:50,598
He's two for two. What else?
717
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:51,966
You're not gonna like this one.
718
00:28:51,967 --> 00:28:53,167
What is it?
719
00:28:53,168 --> 00:28:55,069
He got fired a couple of years ago.
720
00:28:55,070 --> 00:28:56,570
Sexually harassed a coworker.
721
00:28:57,305 --> 00:28:58,640
Well, he fits the profile
722
00:28:58,641 --> 00:29:01,209
- to a tee.
- Look... is he your guy?
723
00:29:01,210 --> 00:29:02,543
I don't know.
724
00:29:02,544 --> 00:29:04,746
But you're not wrong to
think that he might be.
725
00:29:04,747 --> 00:29:07,115
What are the Feds doing about it?
726
00:29:07,116 --> 00:29:09,350
My buddy didn't say, but
I'm sure they're into it.
727
00:29:09,351 --> 00:29:11,252
So now it's time to
let them do their thing.
728
00:29:11,253 --> 00:29:13,621
- Okay?
- Okay, yeah. Sure.
729
00:29:13,622 --> 00:29:15,823
Meantime, just try to
keep your mind off of it.
730
00:29:15,824 --> 00:29:18,159
How about we grab a beer tomorrow night?
731
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,826
Thanks, Jose.
732
00:29:23,598 --> 00:29:25,400
Did you know that U.S. zoos pay China
733
00:29:25,401 --> 00:29:27,101
$2 million per year for the pandas
734
00:29:27,102 --> 00:29:28,636
- in our country?
- They are worth it.
735
00:29:28,637 --> 00:29:30,238
A quarter of which is supposed to be
736
00:29:30,239 --> 00:29:32,974
allocated for the preservation
of panda habitat in the wild.
737
00:29:32,975 --> 00:29:35,276
Yeah, they need their
bamboo, don't they?
738
00:29:35,277 --> 00:29:37,078
- Yes, you do.
- Hey, Blake. Blake.
739
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:38,546
- Sorry.
- Here's the thing.
740
00:29:38,547 --> 00:29:40,930
- Guess what China hasn't been doing.
- Allocating a quarter
741
00:29:40,931 --> 00:29:43,217
of the funds towards the
panda habitat preservation?
742
00:29:43,218 --> 00:29:44,361
Not according to this report
743
00:29:44,362 --> 00:29:46,521
by a consortium of environmental groups.
744
00:29:46,522 --> 00:29:48,556
- Does China accept that?
- Nope.
745
00:29:48,557 --> 00:29:51,225
- But we did.
- Well, then, we can make the argument
746
00:29:51,226 --> 00:29:53,409
that they are in breach of
their half of the agreement.
747
00:29:53,410 --> 00:29:55,463
Therefore, we don't have
to give the pandas back.
748
00:29:55,464 --> 00:29:57,899
That's got to be good
enough for Russell Jackson.
749
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,267
Let's hope so.
750
00:29:59,268 --> 00:30:02,136
By the way, can we talk about
his obsession with Panda Cam?
751
00:30:02,137 --> 00:30:03,204
How weird is that?
752
00:30:03,205 --> 00:30:05,506
Oh, I get it, man. I
am all in... Oh, yes!
753
00:30:05,507 --> 00:30:07,175
You are tired from your snack
754
00:30:07,176 --> 00:30:09,210
and need a nap in the sun.
755
00:30:09,211 --> 00:30:11,379
- Hi. Can I help you?
- Uh, Captain Ronnie Baker
756
00:30:11,380 --> 00:30:13,281
from Oliver Shaw's office,
to see the secretary?
757
00:30:13,282 --> 00:30:15,383
Yes, the secretary's expecting you.
758
00:30:15,384 --> 00:30:16,683
Wait.
759
00:30:17,452 --> 00:30:18,619
You're Ronnie?
760
00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:19,887
Yes, ma'am.
761
00:30:19,888 --> 00:30:21,255
From Oliver's office?
762
00:30:21,256 --> 00:30:22,857
Yes, ma'am.
763
00:30:22,858 --> 00:30:25,159
You don't have to call me "ma'am."
764
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,728
We're like the same age.
765
00:30:26,729 --> 00:30:28,495
S-Sorry. It's a habit.
766
00:30:29,397 --> 00:30:31,532
Oh, my God. You're Daisy,
767
00:30:31,533 --> 00:30:33,167
from... from you know. From his
768
00:30:33,168 --> 00:30:35,770
- personal life.
- And you're Ronnie. From work.
769
00:30:35,771 --> 00:30:36,938
And texts about work.
770
00:30:36,939 --> 00:30:39,741
"Sorry, I have to take
this text during dinner,
771
00:30:39,742 --> 00:30:41,676
national security is at stake' Ronnie.
772
00:30:41,677 --> 00:30:43,743
Yep. That's me.
773
00:30:44,579 --> 00:30:46,948
- We thought you were a guy.
- Oh.
774
00:30:46,949 --> 00:30:50,151
Yeah, no. I just love your guys's story.
775
00:30:50,152 --> 00:30:52,186
I kind of want to give you a hug,
776
00:30:52,187 --> 00:30:53,688
but that's weird, right?
777
00:30:53,689 --> 00:30:55,556
- Mm...
- Oh? Okay.
778
00:30:55,557 --> 00:30:57,258
Aw.
779
00:30:57,259 --> 00:30:58,826
Oh! Secretary's ready for you.
780
00:30:58,827 --> 00:31:01,027
I'm going.
781
00:31:01,429 --> 00:31:03,498
Definitely not a dude.
782
00:31:03,499 --> 00:31:05,366
She's sweet.
783
00:31:05,367 --> 00:31:07,135
Madam Secretary.
784
00:31:07,136 --> 00:31:08,803
Oh. Captain Baker.
785
00:31:08,804 --> 00:31:11,105
Were you able to recover the files?
786
00:31:11,106 --> 00:31:13,741
Yeah... Well, the good news
is they didn't have time
787
00:31:13,742 --> 00:31:15,777
to securely erase them all.
788
00:31:15,778 --> 00:31:19,747
So the hackers overwrote parts
of the files with random data,
789
00:31:19,748 --> 00:31:21,649
so we had some trouble
reconstructing them.
790
00:31:21,650 --> 00:31:23,384
But we found these
791
00:31:23,385 --> 00:31:26,521
among the most recently uploaded files.
792
00:31:26,522 --> 00:31:27,722
...I mean demolished.
793
00:31:27,723 --> 00:31:30,191
You can see the construction
going on over there.
794
00:31:30,192 --> 00:31:32,393
To build airstrips and radar stations,
795
00:31:32,394 --> 00:31:33,795
they pulverize the coral
796
00:31:33,796 --> 00:31:35,863
and pave over it with concrete,
797
00:31:35,864 --> 00:31:37,365
destroying it forever.
798
00:31:37,366 --> 00:31:39,400
She seems like good people.
799
00:31:39,401 --> 00:31:41,068
Yeah, she does.
800
00:31:41,069 --> 00:31:44,505
There's not really anything
here, unfortunately.
801
00:31:44,506 --> 00:31:47,875
Didn't you say there was footage
from a second camera, or...?
802
00:31:47,876 --> 00:31:50,578
Yeah. Here it is.
803
00:31:50,579 --> 00:31:51,979
Maybe you're thinking, "So what?
804
00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:54,182
"Who cares about a
little speck in the middle
805
00:31:54,183 --> 00:31:55,316
- of a faraway sea?"
- No.
806
00:31:55,317 --> 00:31:57,151
This just looks like more of the same.
807
00:31:57,152 --> 00:31:58,786
These reefs provide...
808
00:31:58,787 --> 00:32:00,521
Wait, wait, wait.
809
00:32:00,522 --> 00:32:03,057
Can-Can you make this...
810
00:32:03,058 --> 00:32:06,461
- go back?
- Yeah.
811
00:32:06,462 --> 00:32:08,729
These reefs provide one tenth
812
00:32:08,730 --> 00:32:10,363
of all seafood on...
813
00:32:11,432 --> 00:32:12,700
Right there.
814
00:32:12,701 --> 00:32:14,836
What the hell is that?
815
00:32:14,837 --> 00:32:17,205
It's a mobile launch pad.
816
00:32:17,206 --> 00:32:20,441
Specifically, a TAS5450 8x8
817
00:32:20,442 --> 00:32:22,376
special heavy-duty truck.
818
00:32:22,377 --> 00:32:24,045
Designed to deploy Dong-Feng 15
819
00:32:24,046 --> 00:32:25,509
Tactical-Theatre Ballistic Missiles.
820
00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:26,287
From that position,
821
00:32:26,288 --> 00:32:28,349
China can strike major
population centers
822
00:32:28,350 --> 00:32:30,518
all over Southeast Asia within minutes.
823
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,021
And effectively demand control
over the entire South China Sea.
824
00:32:34,022 --> 00:32:35,523
This is why they were being
825
00:32:35,524 --> 00:32:38,726
so aggressive with the
Ocean Relief activists,
826
00:32:38,727 --> 00:32:40,194
why they hacked the server.
827
00:32:40,195 --> 00:32:42,396
They wanted to keep
the world in the dark
828
00:32:42,397 --> 00:32:43,900
until the missiles could be deployed.
829
00:32:43,901 --> 00:32:47,001
Why didn't we know about
this until now, General?
830
00:32:47,002 --> 00:32:49,337
The launcher was camouflaged
from aerial surveillance.
831
00:32:49,338 --> 00:32:50,838
We could never get close enough
832
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:52,039
for ground-level observation.
833
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,774
So you're telling me we owe this
834
00:32:53,775 --> 00:32:55,042
game-changing intelligence coup
835
00:32:55,043 --> 00:32:59,012
to a lucky break from
Scooby and the gang?
836
00:32:59,881 --> 00:33:01,215
Unbelievable.
837
00:33:01,216 --> 00:33:03,150
And if the launcher is already there,
838
00:33:03,151 --> 00:33:05,820
the missiles are only
days away from delivery.
839
00:33:05,821 --> 00:33:07,324
This is a massive escalation.
840
00:33:07,325 --> 00:33:11,094
And China needs to know
that it won't stand.
841
00:33:20,177 --> 00:33:23,250
Madam Secretary, I don't know where
you're getting this information.
842
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:25,618
From the server you tried to destroy.
843
00:33:25,619 --> 00:33:26,986
But we'll come back
844
00:33:26,987 --> 00:33:29,388
to the cyber warfare another time.
845
00:33:29,389 --> 00:33:31,457
You've got bigger problems right now.
846
00:33:31,459 --> 00:33:34,193
Do I? Because I have no idea
what you're talking about.
847
00:33:34,194 --> 00:33:35,428
And, you know,
848
00:33:35,429 --> 00:33:37,530
it's a good thing you don't.
849
00:33:37,531 --> 00:33:40,499
It was a mistake that your military
850
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:42,034
didn't loop you in.
851
00:33:42,035 --> 00:33:43,736
Because...
852
00:33:43,737 --> 00:33:47,907
with your close personal ties
to the American government,
853
00:33:47,908 --> 00:33:51,077
I am sure you could have
told them with certainty
854
00:33:51,078 --> 00:33:54,647
that we will never permit
those missiles to be deployed.
855
00:33:54,648 --> 00:33:57,149
It is not for the United States
to tell us what is permitted.
856
00:33:57,150 --> 00:33:59,452
On your own territory.
857
00:33:59,453 --> 00:34:01,654
But let's... let's put a pin
858
00:34:01,655 --> 00:34:05,357
in the sovereignty stuff for now.
859
00:34:06,425 --> 00:34:08,361
Because if your neighbors find out
860
00:34:08,362 --> 00:34:12,965
that you secretly planned to
settle this issue at gunpoint,
861
00:34:12,966 --> 00:34:16,135
I think they would be
more than supportive
862
00:34:16,136 --> 00:34:18,337
of the U.S.'s response.
863
00:34:18,338 --> 00:34:20,273
And what sort of response might that be?
864
00:34:20,274 --> 00:34:22,775
China's deployment of
that missile launcher
865
00:34:22,776 --> 00:34:25,044
violently upsets the status quo.
866
00:34:25,045 --> 00:34:27,513
And our response, therefore,
867
00:34:27,514 --> 00:34:31,916
will be equally violent and upsetting.
868
00:34:32,618 --> 00:34:34,620
Indeed...
869
00:34:34,621 --> 00:34:37,156
I am shocked
870
00:34:37,157 --> 00:34:38,791
that I was not made privy
871
00:34:38,792 --> 00:34:41,460
to such a drastic step
on my government's part.
872
00:34:41,461 --> 00:34:44,030
I knew that you would be troubled.
873
00:34:44,031 --> 00:34:45,898
If I were to offer some suggestions
874
00:34:45,899 --> 00:34:49,035
to my president as to
how we might de-escalate,
875
00:34:49,036 --> 00:34:50,903
what might they be?
876
00:34:50,904 --> 00:34:52,772
Well, for starters,
877
00:34:52,773 --> 00:34:56,975
we've looked into it, and we're
not giving the pandas back.
878
00:35:03,516 --> 00:35:06,118
Sir, that bogey's coming
around for another pass.
879
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:07,753
It's coming in too low, sir!
880
00:35:07,754 --> 00:35:09,254
All stations, brace for impact.
881
00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:13,559
The Chinese pilot buzzed the Morris,
882
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,995
flew too low and clipped the tower.
883
00:35:15,996 --> 00:35:19,398
So far, three sailors have
died and 16 others are wounded.
884
00:35:19,399 --> 00:35:21,767
NSC and Joint Chiefs are
waiting in the Sit Room.
885
00:35:21,768 --> 00:35:23,736
I told the networks
that you wanted airtime
886
00:35:23,737 --> 00:35:25,912
to address the nation
later this evening.
887
00:35:25,913 --> 00:35:26,605
Good.
888
00:35:26,606 --> 00:35:30,842
Evans already has his campaign
pumping out tweets. The ghoul.
889
00:35:32,645 --> 00:35:34,113
Sir, when I spoke to Minister Chen
890
00:35:34,114 --> 00:35:35,982
hours before this
incident, he seemed prepared
891
00:35:35,983 --> 00:35:37,650
to accept our terms.
892
00:35:37,651 --> 00:35:39,819
"Seemed" being the operative word.
893
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:42,054
I'm not saying China is innocent.
894
00:35:42,055 --> 00:35:43,222
I'm saying...
895
00:35:43,223 --> 00:35:45,524
the wheels turn slowly over there.
896
00:35:45,525 --> 00:35:47,827
So the leadership was still digesting
897
00:35:47,828 --> 00:35:50,229
the message we sent Chen
when this incident occurred?
898
00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:51,364
Tragically, yes.
899
00:35:51,365 --> 00:35:52,788
With all due respect,
900
00:35:52,789 --> 00:35:55,468
an accident caused
by reckless aggression
901
00:35:55,469 --> 00:35:57,214
isn't much different from an attack.
902
00:35:57,215 --> 00:36:00,177
They're holding our citizens,
attempting to put missiles
903
00:36:00,178 --> 00:36:02,341
into the SCS.
904
00:36:02,342 --> 00:36:03,776
And now this.
905
00:36:03,777 --> 00:36:06,178
How much more provocation do we need?
906
00:36:06,179 --> 00:36:07,680
To do what, exactly?
907
00:36:07,681 --> 00:36:09,648
- Respond in kind.
- A few days ago,
908
00:36:09,649 --> 00:36:12,385
you were lobbying for a
harder line against China.
909
00:36:12,386 --> 00:36:14,754
You really think they've
changed their stripes since then?
910
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:17,056
Of course not, but I do
think that the pressure
911
00:36:17,057 --> 00:36:18,924
we put on them was effective.
912
00:36:18,925 --> 00:36:20,860
So let's-let's be smart.
913
00:36:20,861 --> 00:36:22,695
I mean, if we can get them
914
00:36:22,696 --> 00:36:24,563
to back down in the South China Sea,
915
00:36:24,564 --> 00:36:27,333
that is a huge win for global stability,
916
00:36:27,334 --> 00:36:30,369
but if we stumble in to
some military conflict,
917
00:36:30,370 --> 00:36:33,639
once that starts, no one
knows how that's gonna end.
918
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,675
We have to take a beat
before we retaliate.
919
00:36:36,676 --> 00:36:38,878
Take a beat to do what?
920
00:36:38,879 --> 00:36:40,980
Talk to President Li.
921
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:42,715
I think China's about to blink.
922
00:36:42,716 --> 00:36:46,318
My advice is we let them.
923
00:36:46,319 --> 00:36:47,753
What makes you so sure
924
00:36:47,754 --> 00:36:50,622
they won't interpret our
restraint as weakness?
925
00:36:51,557 --> 00:36:55,894
Flash of a feeling, at best.
926
00:37:17,059 --> 00:37:18,827
Dr. McCord.
927
00:37:18,828 --> 00:37:21,497
What a coincidence.
928
00:37:21,498 --> 00:37:23,932
Good evening.
929
00:37:23,933 --> 00:37:25,801
Jose called you.
930
00:37:25,802 --> 00:37:28,202
How about we take a walk?
931
00:37:31,407 --> 00:37:33,242
Your friend did you a favor.
932
00:37:33,243 --> 00:37:34,476
Yeah, how's that?
933
00:37:34,477 --> 00:37:36,845
We spoke to Ray Merchant.
934
00:37:36,846 --> 00:37:38,414
Had a good, long talk with him.
935
00:37:38,415 --> 00:37:41,016
And, frankly, you were right
to bring him to our attention.
936
00:37:41,017 --> 00:37:44,486
The man has... issues.
937
00:37:44,487 --> 00:37:46,522
But he's not our guy.
938
00:37:46,523 --> 00:37:48,323
How can you be sure?
939
00:37:48,324 --> 00:37:51,160
Is he unbalanced? Probably.
940
00:37:51,161 --> 00:37:52,494
Still obsessed with your wife?
941
00:37:52,495 --> 00:37:55,531
Maybe, but this is what we know:
942
00:37:55,532 --> 00:37:57,199
The night your house was hacked,
943
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,767
multiple witnesses put Merchant
944
00:37:58,768 --> 00:38:01,170
at a campsite in the
Blue Ridge Mountains
945
00:38:01,171 --> 00:38:03,872
with no Internet access.
946
00:38:03,873 --> 00:38:07,576
An attack this sophisticated
requires real-time input.
947
00:38:07,577 --> 00:38:08,811
He could have paid someone.
948
00:38:08,812 --> 00:38:10,112
Possibly, but I doubt it.
949
00:38:10,113 --> 00:38:11,346
You've seen his house.
950
00:38:11,347 --> 00:38:12,748
Look like he could afford to?
951
00:38:12,749 --> 00:38:14,390
Let alone hire two goons to mug you
952
00:38:14,391 --> 00:38:16,024
and steal your son's computer?
953
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:20,055
No.
954
00:38:20,056 --> 00:38:22,758
But I'll tell you what
he's more than capable of.
955
00:38:22,759 --> 00:38:24,593
Suing the next person that shows up
956
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:26,261
at his front door asking questions
957
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:27,930
about his relationship with your wife.
958
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:29,298
Suing...
959
00:38:29,299 --> 00:38:31,098
or maybe worse.
960
00:38:32,468 --> 00:38:34,502
I understand. Thank you.
961
00:38:35,871 --> 00:38:38,340
Go home, Dr. McCord.
962
00:38:38,341 --> 00:38:40,274
Your family needs you.
963
00:38:46,081 --> 00:38:48,116
Good evening, my fellow Americans.
964
00:38:48,117 --> 00:38:51,987
As many of you are aware, earlier today,
965
00:38:51,988 --> 00:38:53,789
a Chinese fighter jet
966
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:56,658
struck the aircraft
carrier USS Wayne Morris
967
00:38:56,659 --> 00:38:58,227
in the South China Sea,
968
00:38:58,228 --> 00:39:00,796
taking the lives of
three American sailors
969
00:39:00,797 --> 00:39:02,264
and wounding many others.
970
00:39:02,265 --> 00:39:04,433
I spoke earlier to my
counterpart, President Li,
971
00:39:04,434 --> 00:39:06,702
of the People's Republic of China,
972
00:39:06,703 --> 00:39:09,705
to voice America's outrage
at this reckless act
973
00:39:09,706 --> 00:39:12,508
and unnecessary loss of life.
974
00:39:12,509 --> 00:39:15,777
President Li expressed sincere
regret over the incident.
975
00:39:15,778 --> 00:39:18,647
More importantly, he has
agreed to several steps
976
00:39:18,648 --> 00:39:21,917
to be outlined in the coming
days to de-escalate the crisis
977
00:39:21,918 --> 00:39:23,752
in the South China Sea
978
00:39:23,753 --> 00:39:27,256
so that another such tragedy
does not happen again.
979
00:39:27,257 --> 00:39:29,791
Many of you are angry.
980
00:39:29,792 --> 00:39:31,927
I share your anger.
981
00:39:31,928 --> 00:39:34,863
There are also some who would
capitalize on this tragedy
982
00:39:34,864 --> 00:39:37,699
to score political points.
983
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:40,936
It's easy to lash out
when your blood is up.
984
00:39:40,937 --> 00:39:42,905
Easier still to talk tough
985
00:39:42,906 --> 00:39:45,374
when no one's life hangs in the balance.
986
00:39:45,375 --> 00:39:46,942
But when leading,
987
00:39:46,943 --> 00:39:50,846
whether a platoon of
marines or an entire nation,
988
00:39:50,847 --> 00:39:54,783
history judges us by the
wisdom of our actions.
989
00:39:54,784 --> 00:39:57,019
We will defend our interests,
990
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:59,421
and our friends and
allies in the region.
991
00:39:59,422 --> 00:40:02,624
And we will hold China accountable.
992
00:40:02,625 --> 00:40:07,429
But we will not start a
war over one reckless act.
993
00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:10,566
Our thoughts and prayers go
out to the grieving families
994
00:40:10,567 --> 00:40:14,168
of our brave sailors who gave
their lives in our service.
995
00:40:15,003 --> 00:40:16,972
Thank you.
996
00:40:16,973 --> 00:40:19,774
And may God bless America.
997
00:40:34,289 --> 00:40:35,958
They're free!
998
00:40:35,959 --> 00:40:37,926
- Hey!
- Good.
999
00:40:37,927 --> 00:40:39,661
Chen kept his word.
1000
00:40:39,662 --> 00:40:41,262
I mean, they'll still
have to stand trial
1001
00:40:41,263 --> 00:40:43,366
at the International Tribunal
for the Law of the Sea.
1002
00:40:43,367 --> 00:40:45,219
Well, that's to help China save face.
1003
00:40:45,220 --> 00:40:47,455
Worst-case scenario, they pay a fine.
1004
00:40:47,456 --> 00:40:49,137
And we're keeping the
fact that China tried
1005
00:40:49,138 --> 00:40:51,239
- to put missiles on the reef a secret?
- Again...
1006
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,927
saving face.
1007
00:40:52,928 --> 00:40:55,029
Well, the main this is
they've agreed to talks
1008
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:58,766
with their neighbors, and
in the interim they won't be
1009
00:40:58,767 --> 00:41:02,003
leveling reefs to
build military outposts.
1010
00:41:02,004 --> 00:41:04,572
Which, if it isn't exactly
a win for the environment,
1011
00:41:04,573 --> 00:41:07,608
is at least a break in
the ongoing catastrophe.
1012
00:41:07,609 --> 00:41:09,510
On that buoyant note, I'm going home.
1013
00:41:09,511 --> 00:41:10,711
- Good night.
- Good night.
1014
00:41:10,712 --> 00:41:12,912
Is everything all right, ma'am?
1015
00:41:13,814 --> 00:41:15,216
Good night, guys.
1016
00:41:15,217 --> 00:41:17,552
- Good night. - Night
- Night-night.
1017
00:41:17,553 --> 00:41:20,121
I wasn't wrong about that kid.
1018
00:41:20,122 --> 00:41:21,756
You weren't right, either.
1019
00:41:21,757 --> 00:41:24,992
Okay. I should have
trusted you about it.
1020
00:41:24,993 --> 00:41:27,595
Yeah. You should have.
1021
00:41:27,596 --> 00:41:29,297
God only knows what you would have done
1022
00:41:29,298 --> 00:41:30,431
if you'd confronted him.
1023
00:41:30,432 --> 00:41:32,066
And then what? Then-then where are we?
1024
00:41:32,067 --> 00:41:34,200
What do you want me to say?
1025
00:41:35,202 --> 00:41:37,772
Look...
1026
00:41:37,773 --> 00:41:41,241
The one thing I try never to
be in my life is powerless.
1027
00:41:42,476 --> 00:41:44,879
You and the kids are everything.
1028
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,949
The idea that all we can do is sit here
1029
00:41:47,950 --> 00:41:49,850
and wait for the next
terrible thing to happen,
1030
00:41:49,851 --> 00:41:52,086
it makes me feel...
1031
00:41:52,087 --> 00:41:54,322
Angry.
1032
00:41:54,323 --> 00:41:56,589
Yeah. Angry.
1033
00:41:58,092 --> 00:42:00,861
And scared.
1034
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:03,197
Really scared.
1035
00:42:03,198 --> 00:42:05,866
I hate it.
1036
00:42:05,867 --> 00:42:09,370
I know. Me, too.
1037
00:42:19,981 --> 00:42:27,581
