1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,839
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:02,841 --> 00:00:04,792
It's the man who killed Majid Nassar.
3
00:00:04,794 --> 00:00:07,292
I think the people who did this are
trying to make Jason do something.
4
00:00:07,294 --> 00:00:08,121
You have an hour.
5
00:00:08,123 --> 00:00:10,417
After that, you'll either find
your son safe at home...
6
00:00:10,419 --> 00:00:11,252
or not.
7
00:00:11,254 --> 00:00:13,654
I killed Majid Nassar.
8
00:00:13,656 --> 00:00:15,556
The deputy director of the FBI
9
00:00:15,558 --> 00:00:16,999
killed the world's most wanted terrorist?
10
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:17,892
I'm afraid so.
11
00:00:17,894 --> 00:00:19,093
Cheer up, Peter.
12
00:00:19,095 --> 00:00:20,561
You're about to be a heartbeat away.
13
00:00:20,563 --> 00:00:22,363
Assuming you make it to V.P.,
14
00:00:22,365 --> 00:00:23,931
When I take Kirkman down,
15
00:00:23,933 --> 00:00:25,933
I'll make sure I don't leave you behind.
16
00:00:25,935 --> 00:00:27,535
11:14 p.m.
17
00:00:27,537 --> 00:00:28,702
- Look into it.
- Wait.

19
00:01:49,452 --> 00:01:52,353
Madam Speaker, congratulations
on your new position.
20
00:01:52,355 --> 00:01:53,754
Let me start by asking,
21
00:01:53,756 --> 00:01:55,823
do you, like your
colleagues in the Senate,
22
00:01:55,825 --> 00:01:57,491
view these confirmation hearings
23
00:01:57,493 --> 00:01:59,226
as anything more than a formality?
24
00:01:59,228 --> 00:02:00,928
Tom Kirkman is our president
25
00:02:00,930 --> 00:02:02,796
because he wasn't at
the State of the Union.
26
00:02:02,798 --> 00:02:05,866
Peter MacLeish is a hero
because he lived through it.
27
00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:09,036
Certainly, survival shouldn't
be the only qualification
28
00:02:09,038 --> 00:02:11,772
when it comes to leading
our country, should it?
29
00:02:11,774 --> 00:02:14,208
She's intimidated by you.
30
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:15,542
She's done everything
31
00:02:15,544 --> 00:02:17,845
from "Megyn Kelly" to "Jimmy Kimmel."
32
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:21,348
"Intimidated" isn't the word
that comes to mind.
33
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:24,718
162 Independents in the new house.
34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,919
How can she read that
35
00:02:25,921 --> 00:02:28,389
as anything other than
America's endorsement
36
00:02:28,391 --> 00:02:30,524
of their first Independent president?
37
00:02:30,526 --> 00:02:32,760
Trust me. She'll find a way.
38
00:02:34,453 --> 00:02:37,264
Madam Speaker,
what do you hope to learn
39
00:02:37,266 --> 00:02:38,332
from Congressman MacLeish's testimony?
40
00:02:38,334 --> 00:02:40,267
Has she done any irrevocable damage
41
00:02:40,269 --> 00:02:41,902
to our nominee this morning?
42
00:02:41,904 --> 00:02:44,004
No, just continuing her never-ending quest
43
00:02:44,006 --> 00:02:45,873
to cast doubt on his qualifications.
44
00:02:45,875 --> 00:02:47,808
She'd be better off taking
a cue from the Senate.
45
00:02:47,943 --> 00:02:49,243
They made it perfectly clear.
46
00:02:49,245 --> 00:02:51,445
No one wants to play politics
with this confirmation.
47
00:02:51,447 --> 00:02:52,379
I wish I saw her face
48
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:53,914
when the vote came back unanimous.
49
00:02:53,916 --> 00:02:56,116
You think steam can actually
come out of someone's ears?
50
00:02:57,119 --> 00:02:58,452
You remembered my order.
51
00:02:58,454 --> 00:02:59,620
Double Americano.
52
00:02:59,622 --> 00:03:02,089
Three pumps vanilla, one pump caramel.
53
00:03:02,091 --> 00:03:03,524
It's too ridiculous to forget.
54
00:03:06,262 --> 00:03:07,928
Hey.
55
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:09,730
Why are you guys so calm?
Don't you check your e-mail?
56
00:03:09,732 --> 00:03:11,298
Not in the last 45 seconds. Why?
57
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:12,733
A security breach.
58
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:14,802
All right, let's get the NSA
Director on the phone.
59
00:03:14,804 --> 00:03:16,970
I want the full story before
we notify the president.
60
00:03:16,972 --> 00:03:17,838
Let's go.
61
00:03:30,386 --> 00:03:31,618
- Hey.
- Hey.
62
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:33,478
They've been digging through
Atwood's office all morning.
63
00:03:33,502 --> 00:03:36,056
- You know what's going on?
- It's an internal review.
64
00:03:36,058 --> 00:03:37,782
Why is Atwood being investigated?
65
00:03:37,807 --> 00:03:38,959
How do you know that's what's happening?
66
00:03:38,961 --> 00:03:41,395
Because here comes the
Director of Internal Affairs
67
00:03:41,397 --> 00:03:43,263
John Foerstel.
68
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:45,532
Agent Wells. Hi.
69
00:03:45,534 --> 00:03:46,800
A word?
70
00:03:47,377 --> 00:03:49,577
His name is Gabriel Thompson.
71
00:03:49,602 --> 00:03:50,969
He worked as a systems analyst
72
00:03:50,994 --> 00:03:53,173
for the National Security
Agency for the last 20 years.
73
00:03:53,175 --> 00:03:54,508
And yesterday he just
walked out the front door
74
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:56,243
with a ton of classified information?
75
00:03:56,245 --> 00:03:57,945
Which this morning the NSA is calling
76
00:03:57,947 --> 00:03:59,613
- a "significant breach."
- How significant?
77
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:01,915
Well, the prototype hard
drive Thompson took
78
00:04:01,917 --> 00:04:04,084
is capable of storing terabytes of files.
79
00:04:04,086 --> 00:04:05,452
NSA estimates it'll take days
80
00:04:05,454 --> 00:04:07,755
to comb through the system
and assess the stolen data.
81
00:04:07,757 --> 00:04:09,490
Luckily, the press hasn't
gotten wind of that.
82
00:04:09,492 --> 00:04:11,158
Well, only a matter of
time before that happens.
83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,527
Agreed. What do we know
about this Thompson?
84
00:04:13,529 --> 00:04:14,695
I mean, is this espionage?
85
00:04:14,697 --> 00:04:16,130
Is a foreign government involved?
86
00:04:16,132 --> 00:04:17,297
Well, it's uncertain, sir.
87
00:04:17,299 --> 00:04:18,732
NSA's throwing all their resources
88
00:04:18,734 --> 00:04:19,700
into tracking him down.
89
00:04:19,702 --> 00:04:21,135
And Whitaker promised to brief you
90
00:04:21,137 --> 00:04:22,302
as soon as he knows more.
91
00:04:22,304 --> 00:04:23,804
We need to get ahead of this now.
92
00:04:23,806 --> 00:04:25,939
It's nice to see
you, Agent Wells.
93
00:04:25,941 --> 00:04:27,040
It's been a while.
94
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:29,042
Well, John, in your line of work,
95
00:04:29,044 --> 00:04:30,878
that's generally considered a good thing.
96
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,513
Hm.
97
00:04:32,515 --> 00:04:35,215
Look, I know that you were
close with Jason Atwood,
98
00:04:35,217 --> 00:04:36,836
but it's a friendship
99
00:04:36,861 --> 00:04:38,418
that could cause problems for you.
100
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:39,553
Why?
101
00:04:39,555 --> 00:04:41,855
- Am I under investigation, too?
- Come on.
102
00:04:41,857 --> 00:04:44,497
You're smart enough to know
that you're wrapped up in this.
103
00:04:44,522 --> 00:04:46,126
You were with Jason at the
prison when Nassar was murdered.
104
00:04:46,128 --> 00:04:47,828
You were there with him
during the interrogation.
105
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:49,473
What is the point of this?
106
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:51,632
You of all people know that
Jason's not a murderer.
107
00:04:51,634 --> 00:04:53,901
Well, I can't exactly
ignore a confession.
108
00:04:55,471 --> 00:04:56,637
If this was so cut-and-dry,
109
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:58,492
why are you doing an
investigation at all?
110
00:04:59,875 --> 00:05:02,943
All right, I'll bite.
111
00:05:02,945 --> 00:05:05,245
If Jason Atwood didn't kill Majid Nassar,
112
00:05:05,247 --> 00:05:06,413
who did?
113
00:05:09,685 --> 00:05:11,552
You're not doing yourself
any favors, Hannah.
114
00:05:11,554 --> 00:05:14,822
And I know you'd rather answer my
questions than a federal prosecutor's.
115
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:17,724
Wow.
116
00:05:17,726 --> 00:05:19,542
- We used to be on the same side.
- Yeah.
117
00:05:19,567 --> 00:05:20,494
And we still would be
118
00:05:20,496 --> 00:05:22,329
if you and Jason had ever
learned how to play by the rules
119
00:05:22,331 --> 00:05:24,298
like I warned you to years ago.
120
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:26,500
Instead, here we are.
121
00:05:27,903 --> 00:05:30,170
Oh, and, Hannah,
122
00:05:30,172 --> 00:05:32,906
I'm paying Jason a visit this afternoon.
123
00:05:32,908 --> 00:05:34,749
Your stories better match.
124
00:05:41,861 --> 00:05:43,227
Hello?
125
00:05:43,252 --> 00:05:45,076
Hey, Chuck, think you can get
126
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:47,178
the Peter MacLeish vetting
files out of the RMD
127
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:49,814
- and meet me at my house in 20 minutes?
- Yes.
128
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:53,384
But, Hannah, what the hell's going on?
129
00:05:53,386 --> 00:05:55,586
I'll explain when you get there.
130
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:59,870
You brought Emily coffee?
You never bring me coffee.
131
00:05:59,895 --> 00:06:01,953
- What do you want, Seth?
- Majid Nassar.
132
00:06:01,955 --> 00:06:03,889
- He's still dead, right?
- Remember when I told you
133
00:06:03,891 --> 00:06:05,145
the press was gonna want answers
134
00:06:05,169 --> 00:06:07,759
- on who killed the most-wanted
terrorist in U.S. history? - Yeah.
135
00:06:07,761 --> 00:06:08,987
Well, I'm telling you they want answers.
136
00:06:09,011 --> 00:06:10,800
- Well, you got to hold them off, Seth.
- And when I can't?
137
00:06:10,824 --> 00:06:12,397
When the Post runs an op-ed
138
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:13,999
or when the Times
accuses us of a cover-up?
139
00:06:14,001 --> 00:06:15,801
Listen, POTUS is meeting
with the FBI today.
140
00:06:15,803 --> 00:06:18,069
Just buy us some time to
get the answers we need.
141
00:06:18,094 --> 00:06:20,433
- And if you do, then coffee for
you next time. - All right.
142
00:06:20,435 --> 00:06:21,449
Hey, look at this.
143
00:06:21,474 --> 00:06:23,074
Gabriel Thompson just
dumped a massive amount
144
00:06:23,076 --> 00:06:24,476
of government documents on WikiLeaks.
145
00:06:24,478 --> 00:06:25,544
Seriously? WikiLeaks?
146
00:06:25,546 --> 00:06:26,778
Isn't that, like, a whistleblower cliché?
147
00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:27,946
Not when the docs are all linked
148
00:06:27,948 --> 00:06:29,648
to members of the
previous administration.
149
00:06:29,650 --> 00:06:30,816
Which Kirkman served in.
150
00:06:30,818 --> 00:06:31,883
Material continues
151
00:06:31,885 --> 00:06:33,485
to be released via WikiLeaks
152
00:06:33,487 --> 00:06:35,453
involving questionable activities
153
00:06:35,455 --> 00:06:38,323
by members of President
Richmond's cabinet.
154
00:06:38,325 --> 00:06:40,292
It appears that several
cabinet members
155
00:06:40,294 --> 00:06:41,862
were abusing their power
156
00:06:41,887 --> 00:06:44,205
by receiving money in
exchange for access.
157
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:45,396
Travel doc...
158
00:06:45,398 --> 00:06:46,531
Okay, so he's claiming
159
00:06:46,533 --> 00:06:48,332
that Richmond's cabinet was corrupt.
160
00:06:48,334 --> 00:06:50,301
I guess we can take
espionage off the list.
161
00:06:50,303 --> 00:06:51,803
How bad is it?
162
00:06:51,805 --> 00:06:53,304
It looks a lot worse than it is, sir.
163
00:06:53,306 --> 00:06:55,173
Yeah, pay-for-play sort of things, mostly.
164
00:06:55,175 --> 00:06:57,241
The Treasury Secretary
was paid to give speeches
165
00:06:57,243 --> 00:06:58,943
at corporate retreats for banking CEOs.
166
00:06:58,945 --> 00:07:00,945
Commerce Secretary took
overseas research trips
167
00:07:00,947 --> 00:07:02,690
paid for by foreign lobby groups.
168
00:07:02,715 --> 00:07:03,781
The optics are terrible,
169
00:07:03,783 --> 00:07:05,182
but it's not exactly high crimes.
170
00:07:05,184 --> 00:07:07,418
But they are crimes, right?
171
00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:09,320
Counsel's office says yes,
172
00:07:09,322 --> 00:07:10,955
but so far the blow-back's been minimal,
173
00:07:10,957 --> 00:07:12,490
and most of the people
that he's referencing
174
00:07:12,492 --> 00:07:14,325
died during the Capitol bombing.
175
00:07:14,327 --> 00:07:16,504
Everyone but me.
176
00:07:16,529 --> 00:07:18,228
And that's a problem, sir.
177
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:19,463
Why? What did he say?
178
00:07:19,465 --> 00:07:21,241
Well, that's exactly it.
179
00:07:21,266 --> 00:07:23,166
Your files haven't been released.
180
00:07:23,168 --> 00:07:25,502
- Why would he hold my files back?
- Maybe it's a strategy.
181
00:07:25,504 --> 00:07:27,070
He's waiting till the press is in a frenzy
182
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:28,472
so he has the whole country's attention.
183
00:07:28,474 --> 00:07:30,273
Look, I-I hate to ask,
184
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:32,042
but if we're gonna get hit,
185
00:07:32,044 --> 00:07:34,044
we need to know how to respond.
186
00:07:34,046 --> 00:07:36,480
And Mr. President,
do you have anything to hide?
187
00:07:45,255 --> 00:07:47,821
Do I have anything to hide?
188
00:07:47,823 --> 00:07:49,189
I'm sorry to ask, Mr. President,
189
00:07:49,191 --> 00:07:50,557
but we just want to protect you.
190
00:07:50,559 --> 00:07:51,958
I appreciate that, Aaron.
191
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,294
No, I have nothing to hide. No secrets.
192
00:07:54,296 --> 00:07:55,829
Is it possible that he knows about
193
00:07:55,831 --> 00:07:57,564
- Leo's paternity question?
- It's a non-story.
194
00:07:57,566 --> 00:07:59,632
They'd find that out as
quickly as Lisa Jordan did.
195
00:07:59,657 --> 00:08:01,888
Maybe he knows we're sitting
on the Atwood confession.
196
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,890
I've been getting hit from
some national newspaper guys.
197
00:08:03,892 --> 00:08:05,759
We're not sitting on anything.
We're investigating.
198
00:08:05,761 --> 00:08:07,794
As soon as we have answers,
so will the American people.
199
00:08:07,796 --> 00:08:09,763
So why would this so-called whistleblower
200
00:08:09,765 --> 00:08:12,232
release every cabinet
member's tax returns,
201
00:08:12,234 --> 00:08:13,500
their banking records,
202
00:08:13,502 --> 00:08:15,435
except yours?
203
00:08:15,437 --> 00:08:16,670
Look, we can speculate all day
204
00:08:16,672 --> 00:08:19,139
on what Mr. Thompson
thinks he might have on me.
205
00:08:19,141 --> 00:08:21,516
The truth is we need to find him.
206
00:08:21,541 --> 00:08:23,642
Until the NSA knows
exactly what he's stolen,
207
00:08:23,644 --> 00:08:25,344
he's a threat to our national security.
208
00:08:25,346 --> 00:08:26,645
All right, sir, we'll stay on top of it,
209
00:08:26,647 --> 00:08:28,147
- keep you posted.
- Thank you.
210
00:08:31,586 --> 00:08:33,152
Let me get this straight.
211
00:08:33,154 --> 00:08:34,653
You're saying that Peter MacLeish,
212
00:08:34,655 --> 00:08:36,655
the guy about to be
confirmed as vice president,
213
00:08:36,657 --> 00:08:38,257
is somehow involved in the conspiracy
214
00:08:38,282 --> 00:08:39,950
that destroyed the Capitol.
215
00:08:39,975 --> 00:08:42,228
I know. It's a lot to process.
216
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:45,231
My parents' divorce was a lot to process.
217
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:47,433
This is next-level, Hannah.
218
00:08:50,771 --> 00:08:52,304
I don't know, but it's also hard to ignore
219
00:08:52,306 --> 00:08:53,605
when you lay it all out like this.
220
00:08:53,607 --> 00:08:54,806
Here's the problem.
221
00:08:54,808 --> 00:08:57,009
Foerstel's already suspicious of me.
222
00:08:57,011 --> 00:08:59,311
But I can't back off MacLeish. Not now.
223
00:08:59,313 --> 00:09:00,879
I need hard evidence against him,
224
00:09:00,881 --> 00:09:02,814
but the only evidence I have right now...
225
00:09:02,816 --> 00:09:05,283
I know. I know. 11:14 p.m.
226
00:09:05,285 --> 00:09:07,085
Right.
227
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:09,888
I looked everywhere. I've got nothing.
228
00:09:09,890 --> 00:09:12,390
Right, which is why you need
to re-examine MacLeish's files
229
00:09:12,392 --> 00:09:14,092
and see if there's a connection.
230
00:09:19,332 --> 00:09:21,566
Chuck, I know you're taking
a risk by being here,
231
00:09:21,568 --> 00:09:24,402
so if you needed to leave,
I'd understand.
232
00:09:24,404 --> 00:09:27,038
Hannah, when you come asking for help,
233
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,072
it's never easy,
234
00:09:28,074 --> 00:09:30,463
and sometimes not even legal.
235
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,846
But you're smart and
dedicated and usually right,
236
00:09:35,848 --> 00:09:37,047
so tell me what I need to do.
237
00:09:39,085 --> 00:09:40,885
To be honest, I'm not comfortable
238
00:09:40,887 --> 00:09:42,653
going after the "Miracle on the Potomac"
239
00:09:42,655 --> 00:09:45,022
just because you've got a bone
to pick with the president.
240
00:09:45,024 --> 00:09:46,524
Congressman, you're new here.
241
00:09:46,526 --> 00:09:48,793
So let me give you a
little bit of free advice.
242
00:09:48,795 --> 00:09:51,061
D.C. is all about relationships.
243
00:09:51,063 --> 00:09:52,830
And this relationship, yours and mine,
244
00:09:52,832 --> 00:09:54,799
is not one you want to sour.
245
00:09:54,801 --> 00:09:57,535
This is a confirmation, not a coronation.
246
00:09:57,537 --> 00:10:00,349
It's not our job to give
the president what he wants.
247
00:10:00,374 --> 00:10:04,652
- Our job is to determine what's
best for the country. - Yes, ma'am.
248
00:10:04,677 --> 00:10:07,578
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll see you inside.
249
00:10:10,482 --> 00:10:13,216
Congressman, Mrs. MacLeish.
250
00:10:13,218 --> 00:10:15,819
Kimble, I hope you're not
too easy on him today.
251
00:10:15,821 --> 00:10:17,120
I'm so glad I ran into you.
252
00:10:17,122 --> 00:10:18,655
I would have hated starting the day
253
00:10:18,657 --> 00:10:20,323
without wishing you the best of luck.
254
00:10:20,325 --> 00:10:22,258
Thank you so much. I really
appreciate that.
255
00:10:25,597 --> 00:10:26,763
Congresswoman.
256
00:10:29,134 --> 00:10:30,333
Do you mind if I ask
257
00:10:30,335 --> 00:10:32,302
what it is you have
against Kirkman and myself?
258
00:10:34,406 --> 00:10:35,538
I don't trust anyone
259
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:37,874
who has things handed to them in life...
260
00:10:39,644 --> 00:10:40,877
...especially power.
261
00:10:46,764 --> 00:10:48,928
11:14 p.m.
262
00:10:48,953 --> 00:10:51,354
I got nothing here, Hannah.
263
00:10:51,356 --> 00:10:52,388
I know it sounds crazy,
264
00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:53,889
but my source was right about room 105.
265
00:10:53,891 --> 00:10:55,024
She was right about MacLeish,
266
00:10:55,026 --> 00:10:56,659
so there's got to be something to this.
267
00:10:57,261 --> 00:10:59,028
I thought that I would find those numbers
268
00:10:59,030 --> 00:11:00,696
on some of the time stamps on the files.
269
00:11:00,698 --> 00:11:01,831
What if it's not a time?
270
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:03,876
I mean, what if it's a date?
271
00:11:03,901 --> 00:11:05,000
Look at this.
272
00:11:05,002 --> 00:11:07,303
This... This is the after-action report
273
00:11:07,305 --> 00:11:09,672
that earned him the Bronze
Star in Afghanistan.
274
00:11:11,876 --> 00:11:15,411
November 14, 2005.
275
00:11:16,414 --> 00:11:18,614
11:14 p.m.
276
00:11:18,616 --> 00:11:20,516
P.M...
277
00:11:20,518 --> 00:11:22,217
Peter MacLeish. Peter MacLeish.
278
00:11:23,521 --> 00:11:25,254
Okay.
279
00:11:25,256 --> 00:11:28,323
Okay, but this document
isn't exactly a smoking gun.
280
00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:31,159
MacLeish's unit was
attacked by the Taliban,
281
00:11:31,161 --> 00:11:32,627
and he managed to save most of his men.
282
00:11:32,629 --> 00:11:34,029
I mean, this report's an endorsement
283
00:11:34,031 --> 00:11:35,377
of his bravery and heroism.
284
00:11:35,402 --> 00:11:37,299
Yes, but room 105, at a first glance,
285
00:11:37,301 --> 00:11:38,833
didn't look like a bomb shelter, did it?
286
00:11:38,835 --> 00:11:40,435
You think his file
287
00:11:40,437 --> 00:11:42,370
isn't telling you the whole story?
288
00:11:42,372 --> 00:11:44,606
I think that I'd like to hear
from the men who were there,
289
00:11:44,608 --> 00:11:46,141
whether they saw things the same way.
290
00:11:47,337 --> 00:11:49,811
To be the only
survivor of the Capitol bombing,
291
00:11:49,813 --> 00:11:51,980
I know, does not qualify
me for higher office,
292
00:11:51,982 --> 00:11:53,514
but when President Kirkman...
293
00:11:53,516 --> 00:11:54,682
MacLeish is crushing it.
294
00:11:54,684 --> 00:11:56,417
- This guy was made for TV.
- I know.
295
00:11:56,419 --> 00:11:57,552
If we don't wrap this up today,
296
00:11:57,554 --> 00:11:58,553
I think you can go hard after Hookstraten
297
00:11:58,555 --> 00:11:59,683
for holding it up.
298
00:11:59,708 --> 00:12:01,756
I mean, public opinion will
definitely be in our favor.
299
00:12:06,129 --> 00:12:07,528
Another dump on WikiLeaks.
300
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:10,431
Congressional memos, e-mails,
legislative briefings.
301
00:12:10,433 --> 00:12:11,699
Doesn't look like anything on Kirkman.
302
00:12:11,701 --> 00:12:13,134
No, nothing here can touch him.
303
00:12:13,136 --> 00:12:14,035
That's not true.
304
00:12:15,905 --> 00:12:17,638
Have you seen the leaked
memo on Senator Hazelton?
305
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,106
The country
would've been better off
306
00:12:19,108 --> 00:12:20,374
if he'd stayed retired.
307
00:12:20,376 --> 00:12:21,976
Well, that might be true,
but his office just called.
308
00:12:21,978 --> 00:12:23,811
We just pissed off the
one man in Washington
309
00:12:23,813 --> 00:12:25,112
we can't afford to piss off.
310
00:12:25,114 --> 00:12:27,085
How did we piss him off?
311
00:12:32,621 --> 00:12:33,687
Senator Hazelton?
312
00:12:33,689 --> 00:12:35,589
He retired at the end of last term.
313
00:12:35,591 --> 00:12:37,291
He came back after the Capitol bombing
314
00:12:37,293 --> 00:12:39,159
when the governor of
Vermont appointed him.
315
00:12:39,161 --> 00:12:40,360
And just named the new chair
316
00:12:40,362 --> 00:12:41,862
of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
317
00:12:41,864 --> 00:12:43,964
The senator has tremendous power.
318
00:12:43,966 --> 00:12:45,232
His committee can lock down
319
00:12:45,234 --> 00:12:47,334
any debt, tax, spending bill we suggest.
320
00:12:47,336 --> 00:12:49,436
And what about the memo was so offensive?
321
00:12:49,438 --> 00:12:51,972
"Senator Hazelton is a lecherous old man
322
00:12:51,997 --> 00:12:54,085
more accustomed to groping female staff
323
00:12:54,087 --> 00:12:55,286
than promoting them."
324
00:12:55,311 --> 00:12:57,611
Again, why is this my problem?
325
00:12:57,613 --> 00:13:00,558
Because he wants you to
fire the author immediately.
326
00:13:00,583 --> 00:13:01,982
Okay, who's the author?
327
00:13:05,287 --> 00:13:06,853
I am, sir.
328
00:13:18,666 --> 00:13:20,681
Senator, please understand
329
00:13:20,683 --> 00:13:22,950
that my words are in no way a reflection
330
00:13:22,952 --> 00:13:24,528
of how the president feels about you.
331
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:26,192
That was written years ago,
332
00:13:26,217 --> 00:13:29,156
long before I even met the president.
333
00:13:29,158 --> 00:13:31,558
I sincerely apologize
334
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,961
for embarrassing you in any way.
335
00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:38,065
And you think that's enough?
336
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:41,535
Senator, I know you want
me to fire Ms. Rhodes,
337
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,496
but I've known Emily for many years.
338
00:13:44,498 --> 00:13:46,906
And I can tell you
her apology is sincere.
339
00:13:46,908 --> 00:13:48,308
Oh, she means it all right.
340
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:49,309
Now. When she's scared.
341
00:13:49,311 --> 00:13:50,810
She had a whole different attitude
342
00:13:50,812 --> 00:13:52,312
when she first wrote that smear,
343
00:13:52,314 --> 00:13:53,446
back when she was a nobody,
344
00:13:53,448 --> 00:13:54,781
a jumped-up little House staffer,
345
00:13:54,783 --> 00:13:58,251
and I was finance chairman,
served in two cabinets,
346
00:13:58,253 --> 00:13:59,953
elected to six consecutive terms.
347
00:13:59,955 --> 00:14:02,021
Again, Senator, I hear
what you're saying.
348
00:14:02,023 --> 00:14:04,438
I'm just trying to find
us a way to move forward.
349
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,961
Mr. President, I came out of
retirement to serve again
350
00:14:08,963 --> 00:14:10,963
because my country needed me.
351
00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,965
I just helped your nominee,
Peter MacLeish,
352
00:14:12,967 --> 00:14:14,767
through a speedy Senate confirmation,
353
00:14:14,769 --> 00:14:16,278
and this is my reward?
354
00:14:16,303 --> 00:14:18,771
To be libeled by one of your staffers?
355
00:14:18,796 --> 00:14:21,306
Senator, we were all thrown by
these leaked documents.
356
00:14:21,308 --> 00:14:22,741
I just think we should be going after
357
00:14:22,743 --> 00:14:24,676
the people that leaked them,
not the people that wrote them.
358
00:14:24,678 --> 00:14:26,411
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
359
00:14:26,413 --> 00:14:28,714
Perhaps you would feel differently
360
00:14:28,716 --> 00:14:31,283
if it was your character
that had been smeared.
361
00:14:34,238 --> 00:14:36,989
You know the power I wield in the Senate.
362
00:14:36,991 --> 00:14:38,790
I'll give you some time
to consider in what way
363
00:14:38,792 --> 00:14:40,910
and how publicly you want to do this.
364
00:14:41,896 --> 00:14:44,930
But she needs to be gone
by the end of business.
365
00:14:50,371 --> 00:14:51,904
- Mr. President.
- Senator.
366
00:14:58,479 --> 00:15:00,479
Unbelievable.
367
00:15:01,915 --> 00:15:02,947
Like it or not,
368
00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:04,683
he's not an enemy you want to make.
369
00:15:04,685 --> 00:15:06,484
He can hold up your entire
economic agenda
370
00:15:06,486 --> 00:15:07,552
for the next three years.
371
00:15:07,554 --> 00:15:09,621
You don't have a choice.
372
00:15:09,623 --> 00:15:12,080
You have to accept my resignation.
373
00:15:16,291 --> 00:15:18,896
I appreciate the question,
and I... and I understand it.
374
00:15:18,898 --> 00:15:22,934
Um, my public life's been an open book.
375
00:15:22,936 --> 00:15:24,635
Ever since I was a little boy,
376
00:15:24,637 --> 00:15:27,338
I-I took to heart John F.
Kennedy's call to service.
377
00:15:27,340 --> 00:15:30,341
I hope over the course of this hearing,
378
00:15:30,343 --> 00:15:32,512
you're seeing how I lived up to that call.
379
00:15:32,537 --> 00:15:34,845
And do you think you're qualified
380
00:15:34,847 --> 00:15:36,279
for the office of Vice President?
381
00:15:36,281 --> 00:15:37,848
My father instilled in me...
382
00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:39,316
Look at him.
383
00:15:39,318 --> 00:15:41,885
It's like he's channeling Camelot.
384
00:15:41,887 --> 00:15:44,070
He even looks like a Kennedy.
385
00:15:44,756 --> 00:15:46,289
Here's the contact info
386
00:15:46,314 --> 00:15:48,132
for the eight members of MacLeish's unit
387
00:15:48,157 --> 00:15:49,701
on the 11/14 mission
388
00:15:49,728 --> 00:15:51,561
living in the Virginia-Maryland area.
389
00:15:51,563 --> 00:15:53,630
Oh, great.
390
00:15:57,202 --> 00:15:59,936
I can't cover this much ground by myself.
391
00:15:59,938 --> 00:16:01,371
You take Virginia. I'll take Maryland.
392
00:16:01,373 --> 00:16:02,439
Just consider this
393
00:16:02,441 --> 00:16:03,874
an unofficial battlefield promotion
394
00:16:03,876 --> 00:16:04,841
to field agent.
395
00:16:04,843 --> 00:16:05,802
Um...
396
00:16:05,827 --> 00:16:08,111
Also, call me on this,
not your regular phone.
397
00:16:08,113 --> 00:16:11,792
I'm more of a behind-the-scenes
computer guy.
398
00:16:11,817 --> 00:16:14,017
Chuck, I know I'm asking a lot,
399
00:16:14,019 --> 00:16:16,796
but there's a short list of
people that I trust right now.
400
00:16:16,821 --> 00:16:19,022
One of them is in jail for
something he didn't do,
401
00:16:19,024 --> 00:16:22,059
and the other one is you.
402
00:16:30,602 --> 00:16:32,101
I got to tell you
403
00:16:32,103 --> 00:16:34,637
I was relieved when they
gave me your case
404
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,466
'cause I thought if anybody can help you,
405
00:16:37,491 --> 00:16:38,374
it's gonna be me.
406
00:16:38,376 --> 00:16:40,675
John, you could never play the good cop.
407
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,515
Just ask the questions,
and let's get this thing going.
408
00:16:43,540 --> 00:16:47,617
Why'd you waive your
right to an attorney?
409
00:16:47,619 --> 00:16:49,953
I have nothing to defend.
410
00:16:50,855 --> 00:16:52,187
I'm guilty.
411
00:16:52,189 --> 00:16:53,555
So you intended to poison Nassar
412
00:16:53,557 --> 00:16:54,990
before you arrived at the prison?
413
00:16:54,992 --> 00:16:57,693
I had the Thallium
414
00:16:57,695 --> 00:17:01,330
in a salt packet hidden in my pocket.
415
00:17:01,332 --> 00:17:03,599
And you weren't at all concerned
416
00:17:03,601 --> 00:17:05,367
about surveillance footage?
417
00:17:05,369 --> 00:17:09,505
There's a blind spot in
the North Hall corridor.
418
00:17:09,507 --> 00:17:11,958
An officer told me about
it some years ago
419
00:17:11,983 --> 00:17:16,311
in case I needed to have an
off-the-record with a prisoner.
420
00:17:16,313 --> 00:17:19,848
I waited until we cleared the cameras.
421
00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:22,451
I passed the food tray.
422
00:17:22,453 --> 00:17:24,820
Put the salt in Nassar's plate.
423
00:17:24,822 --> 00:17:27,122
How'd you know it was his?
424
00:17:27,124 --> 00:17:29,558
He's Muslim.
425
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,561
Specially prepared halal meals.
426
00:17:34,297 --> 00:17:36,331
Can we verify everything he's saying?
427
00:17:36,333 --> 00:17:38,533
My team's working on it, sir,
but so far, everything he said
428
00:17:38,535 --> 00:17:40,802
matches the forensic evidence
taken from the scene.
429
00:17:40,804 --> 00:17:43,571
- You came up with Jason Atwood, right?
- Yes, sir.
430
00:17:43,573 --> 00:17:45,740
We were in the same class at Quantico.
431
00:17:45,742 --> 00:17:47,652
Had our first assignments together.
432
00:17:47,677 --> 00:17:48,743
Could you ever imagine
433
00:17:48,745 --> 00:17:50,878
that he was capable of
committing such a crime?
434
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,083
I've worked in the Office of
Professional Responsibility
435
00:17:55,085 --> 00:17:56,584
for 13 years, Mr. President.
436
00:17:56,586 --> 00:17:58,286
We may not want to think
the worst of people,
437
00:17:58,288 --> 00:17:59,854
but sometimes they leave us no choice.
438
00:18:01,157 --> 00:18:02,657
Right.
439
00:18:17,307 --> 00:18:18,773
Sir.
440
00:18:18,775 --> 00:18:21,175
We have an update on
the NSA whistleblower.
441
00:18:21,177 --> 00:18:22,743
Okay.
442
00:18:25,214 --> 00:18:26,714
- Mr. President.
- Sir.
443
00:18:26,716 --> 00:18:27,681
What's going on?
444
00:18:27,683 --> 00:18:28,716
We found him, sir.
445
00:18:28,718 --> 00:18:30,484
- We found Gabriel Thompson.
- Where is he?
446
00:18:30,486 --> 00:18:32,586
He's on foreign soil, Mr. President.
447
00:18:32,588 --> 00:18:34,388
I thought we froze his passport.
448
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:35,823
- How did he get out?
- He didn't.
449
00:18:35,825 --> 00:18:37,525
He's right down the street.
450
00:18:38,694 --> 00:18:40,761
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
451
00:18:40,763 --> 00:18:42,897
He's seeking asylum in
the Venezuelan Embassy.
452
00:18:42,899 --> 00:18:45,266
No extradition treaty with the U.S., sir.
453
00:18:45,268 --> 00:18:47,868
You're telling me he's right
here in Washington, D.C.,
454
00:18:47,870 --> 00:18:49,003
and we can't touch him?
455
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:59,616
I'm afraid I cannot
turn over Gabriel Thompson,
456
00:18:59,641 --> 00:19:01,041
Mr. President.
457
00:19:01,043 --> 00:19:03,109
He's seeking asylum,
and we must respect that.
458
00:19:03,111 --> 00:19:04,945
Mr. Ambassador, there is a big difference
459
00:19:04,947 --> 00:19:06,746
between not sending back a petty criminal
460
00:19:06,748 --> 00:19:08,214
who was arrested for marijuana
461
00:19:08,216 --> 00:19:10,116
and a fugitive who we consider a threat
462
00:19:10,118 --> 00:19:11,351
to our national security.
463
00:19:11,353 --> 00:19:13,720
Not technically, Mr. President.
464
00:19:13,722 --> 00:19:15,422
I can't dictate your nation's laws,
465
00:19:15,424 --> 00:19:17,324
and you cannot dictate mine.
466
00:19:20,764 --> 00:19:23,327
Venezuela won't give him back... yet.
467
00:19:23,352 --> 00:19:25,765
I'll circle back to the drawing
board, see what I can do.
468
00:19:25,767 --> 00:19:27,767
We're still on the clock
with Hazelton, sir.
469
00:19:27,769 --> 00:19:29,569
One thing at a time, Seth.
470
00:19:31,006 --> 00:19:32,806
One thing at a time? Since when?
471
00:19:32,808 --> 00:19:34,240
Congressman MacLeish,
472
00:19:34,242 --> 00:19:36,176
now, during your first
tour in Afghanistan,
473
00:19:36,178 --> 00:19:40,046
you were awarded a Bronze
Star for combat bravery.
474
00:19:40,048 --> 00:19:43,316
Now, can you please describe
the events of November 14, 2005,
475
00:19:43,318 --> 00:19:44,918
to the best of your recollection?
476
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,887
Can you describe the events
of November 14, 2005,
477
00:19:47,889 --> 00:19:49,856
to the best of your recollection?
478
00:19:49,858 --> 00:19:52,626
Captain MacLeish led a
Ranger Special Forces unit...
479
00:19:52,628 --> 00:19:56,029
...into a remote Afghani
village outside of Marja.
480
00:19:56,031 --> 00:19:59,165
As soon as we moved in,
our unit hit an IED, and...
481
00:19:59,167 --> 00:20:02,102
...we were ambushed by Taliban forces.
482
00:20:02,104 --> 00:20:03,503
Insurgents were heavily armed, and...
483
00:20:03,505 --> 00:20:05,772
...we were pinned down
almost immediately.
484
00:20:05,774 --> 00:20:06,940
Hit, bleeding...
485
00:20:06,942 --> 00:20:09,342
Half my men clinging to life.
486
00:20:09,344 --> 00:20:11,811
The other half frozen in fear.
487
00:20:11,813 --> 00:20:13,480
And I... And I include myself in that.
488
00:20:13,482 --> 00:20:15,849
I acted on pure instinct.
489
00:20:15,851 --> 00:20:18,243
Captain MacLeish returned
enemy fire single-handedly,
490
00:20:18,268 --> 00:20:20,020
drove back the insurgents...
491
00:20:20,022 --> 00:20:21,554
...allowing medics to get to us in time.
492
00:20:21,556 --> 00:20:22,689
The truth is
493
00:20:22,691 --> 00:20:25,458
I presided over a
failed mission that day.
494
00:20:25,460 --> 00:20:29,062
We didn't take the village,
and we lost a lot of good men.
495
00:20:29,064 --> 00:20:31,231
I'm alive because
of Captain MacLeish.
496
00:20:31,233 --> 00:20:32,666
So there's only one word to use
497
00:20:32,668 --> 00:20:33,933
to describe a man like him.
498
00:20:33,935 --> 00:20:35,135
He's a hero.
499
00:20:35,137 --> 00:20:36,236
He's a hero.
500
00:20:36,238 --> 00:20:37,303
He's a hero.
501
00:20:37,305 --> 00:20:39,880
Well, that's what my medal says I am,
502
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:41,675
but a hero?
503
00:20:41,677 --> 00:20:44,950
No. I only did what anyone in
my position would have done.
504
00:20:44,975 --> 00:20:46,200
It doesn't make me a hero.
505
00:20:46,225 --> 00:20:48,692
It simply makes me who I am today.
506
00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:57,390
Every guy in his platoon
says the same thing.
507
00:20:57,392 --> 00:20:58,858
Let me guess... That he's a hero.
508
00:20:58,860 --> 00:21:00,727
I know. Same answer I got, too.
509
00:21:00,729 --> 00:21:01,969
Maybe your informant was wrong.
510
00:21:01,993 --> 00:21:03,812
Or maybe everyone got
the same talking points.
511
00:21:03,837 --> 00:21:04,968
I got one interview left.
512
00:21:04,993 --> 00:21:06,733
I'm not giving up till it's over.
513
00:21:14,085 --> 00:21:16,042
You know you spend a lot
more time in my office
514
00:21:16,044 --> 00:21:17,677
than I do, right?
515
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:19,112
We need to talk about Hazelton.
516
00:21:19,114 --> 00:21:20,814
Don't worry about it. It'll blow over.
517
00:21:20,816 --> 00:21:23,100
- Just give it some time.
- No, it won't.
518
00:21:23,125 --> 00:21:24,570
And the president can't put me first,
519
00:21:24,594 --> 00:21:26,287
not before critical legislation we need
520
00:21:26,288 --> 00:21:28,255
to get this country back on its feet.
521
00:21:28,257 --> 00:21:29,756
Stimulus bills, job creation...
522
00:21:29,758 --> 00:21:31,858
Those things go through appropriations,
523
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:32,993
through Hazelton.
524
00:21:32,995 --> 00:21:34,428
Emily, the president didn't
accept my resignation
525
00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:35,762
when I leaked the Al-Sakar video.
526
00:21:35,764 --> 00:21:37,164
He barely even knew me.
527
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:38,732
You're his most trusted adviser.
528
00:21:38,734 --> 00:21:40,634
- He's not gonna accept yours.
- I know.
529
00:21:40,636 --> 00:21:42,544
Which is why you're gonna accept it.
530
00:21:47,443 --> 00:21:48,809
No.
531
00:21:48,811 --> 00:21:51,611
It's your job to protect the president,
532
00:21:51,613 --> 00:21:53,580
even when that means
protecting him from himself.
533
00:21:53,582 --> 00:21:55,248
Emily, have you ever considered the fact
534
00:21:55,250 --> 00:21:56,783
that he won't accept your resignation
535
00:21:56,808 --> 00:21:58,222
because he needs you here?
536
00:21:59,788 --> 00:22:02,456
And he's not the only one.
537
00:22:10,099 --> 00:22:11,598
- Hi.
- I can come back.
538
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,566
- No, no.
- You're fine.
539
00:22:12,568 --> 00:22:13,467
- What is it?
- Stay.
540
00:22:15,237 --> 00:22:17,904
This is what I like to call
"I told you so"...
541
00:22:17,906 --> 00:22:19,940
A list of every media
outlet in the country
542
00:22:19,942 --> 00:22:22,442
and their requests for an
exclusive with the president
543
00:22:22,444 --> 00:22:23,944
to discuss, among other things,
544
00:22:23,946 --> 00:22:25,212
the Nassar murder investigation.
545
00:22:25,214 --> 00:22:27,114
Feel free to tell them no, Seth.
546
00:22:27,116 --> 00:22:28,115
You know that.
547
00:22:28,117 --> 00:22:29,483
Can't blame them for trying.
548
00:22:29,485 --> 00:22:31,918
I mean, who doesn't want five
minutes with the president?
549
00:22:33,265 --> 00:22:34,398
Wait, what did you just say?
550
00:22:35,257 --> 00:22:36,556
I said who doesn't want...
551
00:22:36,558 --> 00:22:38,324
Five minutes with the president.
552
00:22:38,326 --> 00:22:40,894
Emily, call the Venezuelan Ambassador,
553
00:22:40,896 --> 00:22:42,750
and you tell him I'm on my way.
554
00:22:44,266 --> 00:22:45,799
- What just happened?
- No idea.
555
00:22:48,336 --> 00:22:49,502
I'm so sorry.
556
00:22:49,504 --> 00:22:51,871
I-I didn't realize your
husband had passed away.
557
00:22:51,873 --> 00:22:54,307
He re-upped without telling me.
558
00:22:54,309 --> 00:22:56,743
He said he couldn't leave
things the way they were.
559
00:22:56,745 --> 00:22:58,812
And his first tour with
the Ranger unit...
560
00:22:58,814 --> 00:23:01,781
- That was commanded by Congressman
Peter MacLeish. - I think so.
561
00:23:01,783 --> 00:23:04,384
Steven never liked
talking about his service.
562
00:23:04,386 --> 00:23:08,021
I didn't even realize he
enjoyed his time in the Army
563
00:23:08,023 --> 00:23:10,423
until one day the Army
shipped home his foot locker.
564
00:23:10,425 --> 00:23:12,759
In it were all these mementos...
565
00:23:12,761 --> 00:23:14,728
You know, medals that he had won,
566
00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:17,263
letters from his old buddies.
567
00:23:17,265 --> 00:23:19,361
He had tons of pictures of his tours.
568
00:23:20,611 --> 00:23:22,869
Sarah, do you mind if I take
a look at that foot locker?
569
00:23:22,871 --> 00:23:24,037
Sure.
570
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,746
Right this way.
571
00:23:33,448 --> 00:23:34,514
Thanks.
572
00:23:35,584 --> 00:23:37,117
Mr. Thompson, I'm Aaron Shore,
573
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,718
Chief of Staff to the president.
574
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,953
I know who you are.
575
00:23:39,955 --> 00:23:41,988
I'm on Venezuelan soil, Mr. Shore.
576
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:43,189
You can't arrest me.
577
00:23:43,191 --> 00:23:45,158
I'm well aware of diplomatic law.
578
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,726
Well, then, why are you here?
579
00:23:46,728 --> 00:23:48,294
Because I know what you want.
580
00:23:50,132 --> 00:23:51,598
Really?
581
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,834
CNN says I want radical transparency.
582
00:23:54,836 --> 00:23:59,305
The New York Times
says I want anarchy.
583
00:23:59,307 --> 00:24:00,807
What's your guess, Mr. Shore?
584
00:24:01,777 --> 00:24:03,977
Five minutes with the president.
585
00:24:11,390 --> 00:24:14,120
What makes you so sure I
want to see the president?
586
00:24:14,122 --> 00:24:16,089
You've been very specific
587
00:24:16,091 --> 00:24:18,057
with what you've posted on the Internet.
588
00:24:18,059 --> 00:24:20,493
First you attacked members
of the Richmond cabinet...
589
00:24:20,495 --> 00:24:22,629
Every one of them, except Kirkman.
590
00:24:22,631 --> 00:24:25,732
Then you went after his
most trusted adviser.
591
00:24:25,734 --> 00:24:28,234
You made sure he'd notice.
592
00:24:28,236 --> 00:24:29,669
Am I getting warm?
593
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,940
Yes.
594
00:24:35,260 --> 00:24:36,609
Hell of a way to get an audience
595
00:24:36,611 --> 00:24:38,311
with the leader of the free world.
596
00:24:38,313 --> 00:24:40,847
We use the tools we have, Mr. Shore.
597
00:24:40,849 --> 00:24:42,120
Yes, but you've hurt,
598
00:24:42,145 --> 00:24:45,985
perhaps irreparably, a good friend,
599
00:24:45,987 --> 00:24:48,922
a brilliant, loyal adviser
to the president,
600
00:24:48,924 --> 00:24:50,339
and being that I'm the one person
601
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:52,826
who can grant you
access to the president,
602
00:24:52,828 --> 00:24:54,861
why should I reward you with his time?
603
00:24:54,863 --> 00:24:57,630
Because I had to hang
Emily Rhodes in the wind
604
00:24:57,632 --> 00:24:59,199
to get your attention.
605
00:25:00,502 --> 00:25:03,603
But I'm also the guy
that can save her career.
606
00:25:58,581 --> 00:26:01,661
They were on the same mission.
607
00:26:01,663 --> 00:26:03,396
Catalan and MacLeish know each other.
608
00:26:03,398 --> 00:26:05,565
11/14... That's what my
source wanted me to know.
609
00:26:05,567 --> 00:26:06,599
Oh, my God.
610
00:26:06,601 --> 00:26:08,434
Yeah, I know it's not a smoking gun,
611
00:26:08,436 --> 00:26:11,304
but it puts us a hell of a lot
closer than it did an hour ago.
612
00:26:11,306 --> 00:26:13,239
Chuck, I'm going to need
613
00:26:13,241 --> 00:26:15,375
into the counter-terror joint database.
614
00:26:19,281 --> 00:26:20,313
Chuck.
615
00:26:20,315 --> 00:26:22,282
- What?
- Are you still there?
616
00:26:22,307 --> 00:26:23,354
Hello?
617
00:26:23,356 --> 00:26:24,776
They shut me out of my computer.
618
00:26:24,801 --> 00:26:26,920
- What?
- My login's not working.
619
00:26:26,922 --> 00:26:27,659
Foerstel must know
620
00:26:27,684 --> 00:26:30,504
that you took MacLeish's files
off-site without clearance.
621
00:26:31,192 --> 00:26:33,226
He is heading right towards me.
622
00:26:33,228 --> 00:26:34,794
That means he's gonna be
looking for you, too.
623
00:26:34,796 --> 00:26:36,461
Hannah, don't come back. Find a way.
624
00:26:37,953 --> 00:26:40,066
Finish this.
625
00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:52,840
- Gabriel Thompson wants to have a
meeting with me? - Yes, sir.
626
00:26:52,864 --> 00:26:55,998
And to facilitate one, he gave me this.
627
00:26:57,468 --> 00:26:59,568
- What is it?
- It's a show of good faith, sir.
628
00:26:59,570 --> 00:27:00,736
It's proof that everything
629
00:27:00,738 --> 00:27:02,705
Emily said about Senator
Hazelton is true...
630
00:27:02,707 --> 00:27:05,741
A year's worth of inappropriate
e-mails, text messages,
631
00:27:05,743 --> 00:27:07,510
chats with a Senate page.
632
00:27:07,512 --> 00:27:09,245
And he's agreed to stop releasing files
633
00:27:09,247 --> 00:27:10,713
and hand over everything he has?
634
00:27:10,715 --> 00:27:12,381
If you meet with him, yes.
635
00:27:16,954 --> 00:27:19,689
I'm not sure inviting a man
who stole classified documents
636
00:27:19,691 --> 00:27:21,727
into the White House is an option,
637
00:27:21,752 --> 00:27:22,817
no matter what he has.
638
00:27:24,670 --> 00:27:26,456
But we do have to take
care of this business
639
00:27:26,481 --> 00:27:27,730
with Senator Hazelton.
640
00:27:27,732 --> 00:27:29,065
Let's see if we can get
him over here now.
641
00:27:29,067 --> 00:27:30,800
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you, Aaron.
642
00:27:30,802 --> 00:27:32,201
Sir.
643
00:27:37,246 --> 00:27:39,241
Congresswoman Hookstraten,
last time we spoke,
644
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:41,310
I told you I'd keep you
updated on the Capitol bombing.
645
00:27:41,312 --> 00:27:44,180
Did you find what you were
looking for in room 105?
646
00:27:44,182 --> 00:27:45,247
Yes, I did.
647
00:27:45,249 --> 00:27:47,650
And I need you to delay
the MacLeish hearings.
648
00:27:47,652 --> 00:27:50,086
Go on.
649
00:27:50,088 --> 00:27:51,954
Congresswoman, I can't talk
about this over the phone,
650
00:27:51,956 --> 00:27:52,741
but I'm working a lead
651
00:27:52,765 --> 00:27:55,024
that could prove damning
to Peter MacLeish.
652
00:27:55,026 --> 00:27:56,225
But I need time.
653
00:27:56,227 --> 00:27:58,127
Ms. Wells, you're asking me
654
00:27:58,129 --> 00:28:00,329
to put my reputation on the line.
655
00:28:00,331 --> 00:28:01,564
How much time?
656
00:28:01,566 --> 00:28:03,165
As much as you can give me.
657
00:28:07,904 --> 00:28:09,203
Mr. President.
658
00:28:09,228 --> 00:28:10,761
Thank you for taking the time.
659
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,847
I thought I made myself clear.
660
00:28:19,088 --> 00:28:20,755
Why is she still working here?
661
00:28:20,780 --> 00:28:21,500
Because, Senator,
662
00:28:21,525 --> 00:28:24,351
I'm the one who chooses which
of my staffers I let go.
663
00:28:24,376 --> 00:28:26,343
And I try to make a point
664
00:28:26,345 --> 00:28:28,145
by not starting out with my best one.
665
00:28:28,147 --> 00:28:29,212
Excuse me?
666
00:28:29,214 --> 00:28:32,015
Everything Ms. Rhodes
said about you is true,
667
00:28:32,017 --> 00:28:33,782
and I have the proof to back it up.
668
00:28:33,807 --> 00:28:35,085
I don't believe you.
669
00:28:35,087 --> 00:28:37,119
I think you've heard of
our recent interactions
670
00:28:37,144 --> 00:28:39,789
with Gabriel Thompson,
the NSA whistleblower?
671
00:28:39,791 --> 00:28:42,072
So far, everything that he's released
672
00:28:42,097 --> 00:28:44,861
has proved to be 100% accurate.
673
00:28:44,863 --> 00:28:47,330
Sir, he has you dead to rights.
674
00:28:47,332 --> 00:28:49,232
An 18-year-old Senate page.
675
00:29:00,312 --> 00:29:01,678
This is extortion.
676
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,580
No, Senator,
677
00:29:03,582 --> 00:29:06,483
I am simply presenting
you with the truth.
678
00:29:06,508 --> 00:29:08,795
Extortion would be threatening
679
00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:11,254
to compromise the American
economic stability
680
00:29:11,256 --> 00:29:13,356
unless I fire one of my staff members
681
00:29:13,358 --> 00:29:16,593
because she wrote something
that you didn't like.
682
00:29:18,430 --> 00:29:20,430
You have a wife of 35 years,
683
00:29:20,432 --> 00:29:23,433
two beautiful children,
three grandchildren.
684
00:29:23,435 --> 00:29:25,869
Earlier, you retired to
spend time with them.
685
00:29:25,871 --> 00:29:28,805
I strongly suggest you
consider doing that again.
686
00:29:48,193 --> 00:29:50,093
So, what about you?
687
00:29:52,008 --> 00:29:53,941
Think you want to stick
around a little longer?
688
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:58,735
Luckily, there's no place I'd rather be.
689
00:30:00,239 --> 00:30:01,771
Good.
690
00:30:15,354 --> 00:30:16,886
So, it turns out
691
00:30:16,888 --> 00:30:19,089
that America's favorite
vice presidential candidate
692
00:30:19,091 --> 00:30:22,025
and the CIA's most wanted mercenary
693
00:30:22,027 --> 00:30:23,460
know each other.
694
00:30:28,667 --> 00:30:30,466
I guess you're not buying
it's a coincidence?
695
00:30:30,491 --> 00:30:31,345
Sorry.
696
00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:33,737
If Catalan worked intel
on the 11/14 mission,
697
00:30:33,739 --> 00:30:35,572
the CIA would have a file on it.
698
00:30:35,574 --> 00:30:36,984
Did you pull it?
699
00:30:38,277 --> 00:30:39,876
I would have if there was one.
700
00:30:39,878 --> 00:30:41,611
Are you kidding me?
701
00:30:41,613 --> 00:30:44,748
- Someone buried it?
- So I looked deeper.
702
00:30:44,750 --> 00:30:46,149
I found this.
703
00:30:49,821 --> 00:30:53,256
It was written by an agency
liaison on the ground.
704
00:30:53,258 --> 00:30:55,859
Not quite the same story that
MacLeish has been telling.
705
00:30:55,861 --> 00:30:57,460
"On November 14, 2005,
706
00:30:57,462 --> 00:31:01,097
a Ranger unit massacred a
series of Afghani villages
707
00:31:01,099 --> 00:31:02,632
after several of their unit
708
00:31:02,634 --> 00:31:04,801
had been killed by a Taliban sniper.
709
00:31:04,803 --> 00:31:07,504
3 villages in 24 hours. Countless dead."
710
00:31:08,373 --> 00:31:09,906
And the Pentagon whitewashed this?
711
00:31:11,576 --> 00:31:14,077
Peter MacLeish isn't a war hero.
712
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:17,113
No, he's a war criminal.
713
00:31:27,259 --> 00:31:28,725
- Hey.
- Hey.
714
00:31:28,727 --> 00:31:30,360
I heard about Emily.
715
00:31:30,362 --> 00:31:33,473
So that's one crisis resolved.
716
00:31:33,498 --> 00:31:35,083
Now I'm reading about the other one...
717
00:31:35,108 --> 00:31:36,499
Gabriel Thompson.
718
00:31:36,501 --> 00:31:38,735
This is his psychological profile
719
00:31:38,737 --> 00:31:40,236
courtesy of the State Department,
720
00:31:40,238 --> 00:31:42,201
federal law enforcement, and the NSA.
721
00:31:43,975 --> 00:31:45,775
Alex, what the hell am I missing?
722
00:31:45,777 --> 00:31:48,178
I mean, it seems like
every time I turn around,
723
00:31:48,180 --> 00:31:50,847
there's someone who's served
this country faithfully,
724
00:31:50,849 --> 00:31:54,117
and then out of the blue,
decides to turn against it.
725
00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:55,785
Are you talking about the whistleblower
726
00:31:55,787 --> 00:31:56,986
or Jason Atwood now?
727
00:31:56,988 --> 00:31:58,355
Both of them.
728
00:31:58,357 --> 00:31:59,956
NSA analyst turns traitor.
729
00:31:59,958 --> 00:32:01,491
Deputy FBI director commits murder.
730
00:32:01,493 --> 00:32:02,678
It doesn't add up.
731
00:32:05,263 --> 00:32:08,698
What does your gut say about Thompson?
732
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,768
Well, despite the advice of
my National Security Team,
733
00:32:11,770 --> 00:32:14,471
the protocols of the
Office of the Presidency,
734
00:32:14,473 --> 00:32:16,673
and my own common sense...
735
00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:20,510
...I don't think this guy's crazy.
736
00:32:20,512 --> 00:32:22,579
He's smart.
737
00:32:22,581 --> 00:32:26,015
And he knows once he leaves
the protection of the embassy,
738
00:32:26,017 --> 00:32:28,218
he's going to prison for a long time.
739
00:32:28,243 --> 00:32:30,023
So whatever the reason
740
00:32:30,025 --> 00:32:31,792
for wanting to sit down with you is,
741
00:32:31,794 --> 00:32:33,060
it must be pretty important
742
00:32:33,062 --> 00:32:34,895
for him to trade in his life for it.
743
00:32:37,162 --> 00:32:39,095
Well, what could it be?
744
00:32:39,097 --> 00:32:42,899
That's the part I can't figure out.
745
00:32:42,901 --> 00:32:44,901
Then maybe you need to look deeper.
746
00:33:07,726 --> 00:33:09,426
Empty your pockets.
747
00:33:42,794 --> 00:33:44,060
In a few moments,
748
00:33:44,062 --> 00:33:45,628
they're going to be taking
you to federal prison,
749
00:33:45,630 --> 00:33:47,197
so I need to make this quick.
750
00:33:48,233 --> 00:33:49,933
I know you had a
stepdaughter named Charlotte
751
00:33:49,935 --> 00:33:50,900
who was an intern
752
00:33:50,902 --> 00:33:52,669
in Congressman Ellsworth's office.
753
00:33:52,671 --> 00:33:54,337
I know that she was at
the State of the Union
754
00:33:54,339 --> 00:33:55,438
and died in the bombing.
755
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,574
Different birth father,
different last name
756
00:33:57,576 --> 00:33:59,476
made it harder to make the connection.
757
00:33:59,478 --> 00:34:01,811
I also understand that you raised her
758
00:34:01,813 --> 00:34:03,713
since she was a baby,
759
00:34:03,715 --> 00:34:05,215
so she was yours, too.
760
00:34:05,217 --> 00:34:08,220
Children should never die
before their parents.
761
00:34:08,245 --> 00:34:09,452
No.
762
00:34:09,477 --> 00:34:11,488
No, they should not.
763
00:34:13,225 --> 00:34:15,625
And I am very sorry for your loss.
764
00:34:15,627 --> 00:34:18,528
Thank you, Mr. President.
765
00:34:18,530 --> 00:34:19,629
And as a father,
766
00:34:19,631 --> 00:34:22,198
I understand your anger and your grief.
767
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,935
But it still doesn't
answer my main question.
768
00:34:25,937 --> 00:34:29,539
You sacrificed a great deal
to have this meeting with me.
769
00:34:29,541 --> 00:34:31,107
Why?
770
00:34:31,109 --> 00:34:34,377
I needed someone I could trust
771
00:34:34,379 --> 00:34:35,812
to make sure an attack like that
772
00:34:35,814 --> 00:34:37,347
never happens again.
773
00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:39,516
And what makes you
think you can trust me?
774
00:34:39,518 --> 00:34:41,718
Oh, I did my research,
775
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:45,555
read every e-mail you sent,
every document you wrote.
776
00:34:45,557 --> 00:34:47,757
Your ethics are above reproach.
777
00:34:47,759 --> 00:34:50,593
Not to mention every fourth text you send
778
00:34:50,595 --> 00:34:51,928
is to your children.
779
00:34:57,502 --> 00:35:00,770
Inside that evidence
bag is my pocket change.
780
00:35:02,507 --> 00:35:05,108
There is a fake coin, a quarter.
781
00:35:06,711 --> 00:35:08,778
Inside it is the hard drive I took.
782
00:35:08,780 --> 00:35:10,780
I did not make copies.
783
00:35:20,492 --> 00:35:21,925
Why are you giving this to me?
784
00:35:23,395 --> 00:35:24,661
Because you have
785
00:35:24,663 --> 00:35:28,164
much bigger problems
than me, Mr. President.
786
00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:34,116
Transport is ready.
787
00:35:36,401 --> 00:35:39,876
Careful who
you show file 12-80C to, sir.
788
00:35:49,854 --> 00:35:52,589
Mike, that man gave up his
career and his freedom
789
00:35:52,591 --> 00:35:54,457
for what's on this hard drive.
790
00:35:56,275 --> 00:35:57,894
I want to know why.
791
00:36:09,805 --> 00:36:11,738
This laptop's air-gapped.
792
00:36:11,740 --> 00:36:13,440
So if there's malware on this drive,
793
00:36:13,442 --> 00:36:14,975
it'll only affect this computer.
794
00:36:16,111 --> 00:36:18,445
De-encryption software's already running.
795
00:36:18,447 --> 00:36:19,679
How do you know all this?
796
00:36:19,681 --> 00:36:21,081
Before I was assigned to
your protective detail,
797
00:36:21,083 --> 00:36:24,157
I rotated through investigations,
798
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,683
threat assessment,
and our technical department.
799
00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:29,652
2 1/2 years staring at computer code.
800
00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:31,854
Let's just say I like
working for you more.
801
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:33,389
Good.
802
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:35,024
Look, until we know exactly what this is,
803
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:36,292
I want it to stay between us.
804
00:36:36,294 --> 00:36:38,628
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
805
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:41,798
Mr. President.
806
00:36:41,823 --> 00:36:43,502
Congresswoman Hookstraten
807
00:36:43,527 --> 00:36:45,127
just called for an extended recess.
808
00:36:45,129 --> 00:36:46,361
She's delaying MacLeish's hearing.
809
00:36:46,363 --> 00:36:47,260
Why?
810
00:36:47,285 --> 00:36:48,964
She's being cagey,
but a House staffer says
811
00:36:48,966 --> 00:36:50,165
she's got information on MacLeish
812
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:51,501
that could be critical to the hearing.
813
00:36:51,525 --> 00:36:52,596
We're trying to find out more.
814
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:54,471
The Congresswoman and
I don't agree on much,
815
00:36:54,496 --> 00:36:55,537
but she's not crazy.
816
00:36:55,539 --> 00:36:56,638
She must think that
817
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,040
she's got something substantial on him,
818
00:36:58,042 --> 00:36:59,374
otherwise she wouldn't risk it.
819
00:36:59,376 --> 00:37:01,176
- Get me MacLeish.
- Yes, sir.
820
00:37:01,201 --> 00:37:03,244
Mike, I'll make sure you're not disturbed.
821
00:37:05,416 --> 00:37:07,560
Well, I guess I'll just get right to it.
822
00:37:07,585 --> 00:37:08,951
Congresswoman Hookstraten
823
00:37:08,953 --> 00:37:10,252
thinks she has information on you
824
00:37:10,254 --> 00:37:11,420
that can alter the hearings.
825
00:37:11,422 --> 00:37:12,988
You know what it is?
826
00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:15,223
No. No, I don't.
827
00:37:15,225 --> 00:37:17,247
But if there's something you
need to tell me, Peter,
828
00:37:17,271 --> 00:37:18,560
this is the time.
829
00:37:19,930 --> 00:37:22,163
Well, everything I've ever
told you has been true.
830
00:37:22,165 --> 00:37:24,899
I served my country loyally.
831
00:37:24,901 --> 00:37:26,868
I dedicated myself to my family,
832
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:31,005
the people of my district,
the entire nation.
833
00:37:31,007 --> 00:37:32,407
Okay.
834
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:34,475
Okay.
835
00:37:34,477 --> 00:37:36,110
I hope you understand I had to ask.
836
00:37:36,112 --> 00:37:37,445
Yeah, of course, of course.
837
00:37:37,447 --> 00:37:39,013
And thank you for your support.
838
00:37:39,015 --> 00:37:41,215
You know it always...
It always means the world.
839
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:42,884
Sorry to trouble you, Peter.
840
00:37:42,886 --> 00:37:44,018
No, no.
841
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:44,986
Okay.
842
00:37:46,389 --> 00:37:49,190
No, you know, sir, there...
843
00:37:49,192 --> 00:37:53,194
There's something that's
been nagging at me.
844
00:37:53,196 --> 00:37:56,531
Jason Atwood confessed to
murdering Majid Nassar.
845
00:37:56,533 --> 00:37:59,210
The agent he valued the most...
846
00:37:59,235 --> 00:38:01,235
Uh, Special Agent Hannah Wells...
847
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:02,703
I don't know.
848
00:38:02,705 --> 00:38:04,605
I-I heard she lost
someone in the bombing.
849
00:38:04,607 --> 00:38:06,674
Maybe that's got something
to do with it, but...
850
00:38:08,210 --> 00:38:11,745
...she seemed to be a bit
obsessed with me.
851
00:38:11,747 --> 00:38:13,447
I just hope she isn't trying
to convince the speaker
852
00:38:13,449 --> 00:38:17,561
of any, uh, fantasy or conspiracy theory.
853
00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:19,419
Thank you for letting me know.
854
00:38:19,421 --> 00:38:21,121
I'll keep an eye out.
855
00:38:21,123 --> 00:38:22,622
Yeah.
856
00:38:22,624 --> 00:38:23,824
Good night, Peter.
857
00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:38,461
Agent Wells. Just in time.
858
00:38:38,486 --> 00:38:41,207
I found the evidence I was
looking for on Peter MacLeish.
859
00:38:41,209 --> 00:38:42,675
I'll explain everything when I get there.
860
00:38:42,677 --> 00:38:44,210
I'm just heading up Constitution now.
861
00:38:44,212 --> 00:38:46,942
Thank you for letting me know.
862
00:38:51,186 --> 00:38:53,653
Congressman George,
863
00:38:53,655 --> 00:38:55,588
gather the rest of the committee.
864
00:38:55,590 --> 00:38:57,772
My witness will be here in 10 minutes.
865
00:38:57,797 --> 00:38:59,230
Yes, ma'am.
866
00:39:10,805 --> 00:39:12,838
I didn't get a chance
to thank you earlier
867
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,107
for saving my job today.
868
00:39:15,109 --> 00:39:16,208
Thank you.
869
00:39:16,210 --> 00:39:18,177
Don't even mention it.
870
00:39:18,179 --> 00:39:19,478
You're a good employee.
871
00:39:20,915 --> 00:39:23,615
You did all of that to keep
a good employee around.
872
00:39:30,590 --> 00:39:32,757
All right, I may have other reasons.
873
00:39:36,563 --> 00:39:38,329
Well, I have work to do.
874
00:39:38,331 --> 00:39:41,032
If you think of any of those
reasons, let me know, okay?
875
00:39:44,504 --> 00:39:45,703
Hey, Emily.
876
00:39:47,808 --> 00:39:50,442
When you're finished with work tonight...
877
00:39:53,847 --> 00:39:55,046
...dinner?
878
00:39:58,151 --> 00:39:59,851
Okay.
879
00:40:14,367 --> 00:40:15,566
Come on!
880
00:40:18,071 --> 00:40:20,204
I located File 12-80C.
881
00:40:20,206 --> 00:40:22,540
I was waiting for you before I opened it.
882
00:40:42,494 --> 00:40:43,527
Move!
883
00:41:07,619 --> 00:41:10,053
Who created this?
884
00:41:10,055 --> 00:41:11,187
We did, sir.
885
00:41:11,189 --> 00:41:12,655
