Vic's name is James Novak,

But I'm guessing you already know that,

or Justice wouldn't be down here
taking over my case.
18

No car keys, empty wallet
and windshield glass at the scene
19
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:57,688
suggests we're looking
at a carjacking gone wrong.

in this area the past few months.

in that tiny little paper
that no one's ever heard of?
54

You mean the meticulously

on Hollis Doyle's influence
on the Grant campaign
56
00:02:43,263 --> 00:02:44,560
that ran in the Boston Dispatch?

Wouldn't know. Didn't read it.
58
00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:48,633
But if I had, I'd tell the hippies
in Cambridge Square not to worry.
59

Doyle's pipeline has no chance
of moving forward,

no matter who's in the White House
come January.
61
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:55,774
So you didn't read it? Except that
you made it all the way to the end?

your campaign activities,

It's the decent thing to do.

is the gun lobby event.

You want me
to suck up to the gun lobby

00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:33,377
the day after my press secretary was
shot down on the street in cold blood?

One could argue, especially then.
79
00:03:34,581 --> 00:03:36,481
The liberals will be braying
about gun control.

Find out what Leo Bergen
was up to last night.
172
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,719
You think Leo and Sally killed James?
173
00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:37,187
I don't know,
but they'd benefit most from his death.
174
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,020
I did everything you said.
I held his calls, canceled his meetings.
175
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,457
I did a bunch of stuff wrong on purpose,
176
00:07:41,527 --> 00:07:43,552
just so he could yell at me,
which usually makes him feel better,
177
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:46,621
but I'm sorry, Ms. Pope,
I couldn't stop him.
178
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:50,634
This is completely wrong!
179
00:07:50,703 --> 00:07:52,102
I asked for her schedule,
180
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:55,265
not your own personal musings
about when she might be leaving!
181
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:56,831
They told me it was in flux...
182
00:07:56,943 --> 00:08:00,344
Why use so many words
when a simple "I failed you" will do?
183
00:08:00,446 --> 00:08:01,504
OLIVIA: Ethan! Get out.
184
00:08:01,614 --> 00:08:04,014
- Yes, ma'am.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
185
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:05,845
Liv, this is bad.
She's going behind our back...
186
00:08:05,918 --> 00:08:07,385
- Cyrus, sit down.
- I'm fine, just listen.
187
00:08:07,453 --> 00:08:09,284
Sit down.
You've been relieved of your duty.
188
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:10,947
Sally Langston
is sneaking behind our back
189
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:12,320
to steal the endorsement
of the gun lobby!
190
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:13,449
And I will handle it.
191
00:08:13,526 --> 00:08:15,551
Air Force Two is fired up on the tarmac!
192
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,652
Sally's set to meet
with their leadership today!
193
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:19,630
I will deal with it.
194
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:22,964
I know what you're doing.
I appreciate it, I really do.
195
00:08:23,035 --> 00:08:26,471
Thank you. For caring about me.
For my health. I mean it.
196
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:28,336
But asking me to sit on my hands
197
00:08:28,407 --> 00:08:30,398
while Sally Langston steals
the gun lobby,
198
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,843
and with it,
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
199
00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:37,007
and the White House
in a single meeting,
200
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:38,345
that's not helping me.
201
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:40,317
That's involuntary manslaughter.
202
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:43,253
Let me work. I need to work.
203
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:47,684
- Working.
- Just one question.
204
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,887
Why hasn't Governor Grant
taken a stand
205
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:53,227
on the issue of marriage equality
when he has a gay campaign manager?
206
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,392
What?
207
00:08:56,502 --> 00:09:00,165
"What" as in you're surprised I asked?
Or "what" as in you didn't hear me?
208
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:03,606
- I'll repeat the question. Why hasn't...
- Shh!
209
00:09:03,709 --> 00:09:04,903
I'm not gay.
210
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:07,445
So why are you whispering?
211
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:10,209
Because your question is outrageous.
212
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:11,773
And yet, you shaved your beard.
213
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,283
- It itched.
- I don't believe you.
214
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:14,944
You need to return to your seat.
215
00:09:17,757 --> 00:09:20,351
You do look a lot better without it.
216
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:27,192
- You found nothing?
- HUCK: Nothing.
217
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:29,029
I'm not saying Bergen didn't do it,
but if he did...
218
00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:30,125
He was clever about it.
219
00:09:30,202 --> 00:09:32,432
All right, listen. The Daniel Douglas file,
the one in my safe,
220
00:09:32,538 --> 00:09:33,562
I want you to look at it.
221
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:34,765
See if there's something
we've overlooked.
222
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:36,068
A thread we haven't pulled on yet.
223
00:09:36,142 --> 00:09:37,734
Something that could give us
some answers.
224
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:39,277
Will do.
225
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:40,937
(BEEPING)
226
00:09:55,194 --> 00:09:56,422
(TYPING)
227
00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:07,699
QUINN: Lance McCollum?
228
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,900
Who wants to know?
229
00:10:09,976 --> 00:10:11,102
Hi, Lance.
230
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:12,404
Who the hell are you?
231
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:13,536
We're the United States Government,
232
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,945
and we're here to ask you
to serve your country.
233
00:10:16,048 --> 00:10:18,448
(GRUNTS) I can't serve nobody.
I'm a sick man...
234
00:10:18,551 --> 00:10:20,451
Your liver. We know.
Six months, if you're lucky.
235
00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:22,918
And with your insurance,
you probably won't be.
236
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,479
Livers are expensive, Lance.
237
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:27,355
But you know who gets
free medical care? Transplants, even?
238
00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:28,825
Inmates, that's who.
239
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:36,928
MONICA: We went to his place
on an anonymous tip.
240
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:39,631
Idiot sees us coming and starts running.
241
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:41,468
My partner chases him down, and voilą,
242
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:43,440
suddenly we've got cause
to search the premises.
243
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:44,567
That's when you found the Beretta?
244
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,010
Shoved under the couch
with some beer cans and cat toys.
245
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:48,512
Got a record, two carjackings.
246
00:10:48,614 --> 00:10:50,605
- Ballistics?
- Uh, still pending.
247
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:53,174
So what do you say? Can we
make it official and arrest this guy?
248
00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:54,276
LANCE: I was at home watching TV.
249
00:10:54,353 --> 00:10:57,117
Mr. Rosen?
250
00:10:57,189 --> 00:10:58,281
No.
251
00:10:58,357 --> 00:10:59,824
- I'm sorry?
- It's too soon.
252
00:10:59,925 --> 00:11:02,450
Too soon? We've practically got him
dead to rights. Why on Earth...
253
00:11:02,528 --> 00:11:03,790
Because I said so.
254
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:06,661
We wait for ballistics to come in.
Until then, no arrests.
255
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:12,968
The determination of our party.
256
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:14,939
FITZ: (OVER SPEAKERS)
And the determination of our party.
257
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:17,373
The vision of a better tomorrow
than we've ever had before.
258
00:11:17,476 --> 00:11:19,637
FITZ: The vision of a better tomorrow
than we've ever had before.
259
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:23,440
- Can you see that future with me?
- FITZ: Can you see that future with me?
260
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:26,849
Can you dream with me?
261
00:11:26,952 --> 00:11:28,783
FITZ: Can you dream with me?
262
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:30,947
Good.
263
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:32,547
FITZ: Because I can't do this alone.
264
00:11:32,658 --> 00:11:34,558
Yes, I'm the one running for president,
265
00:11:34,660 --> 00:11:39,529
but that just means I'm applying
for a job with 300 million bosses.
266
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:42,965
You're going to miss the end
of my guy's speech.
267
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,229
He gave the same speech
two days ago.
268
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:48,136
And the day before that.
And three times last week.
269
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:51,835
FITZ: Sometimes it feels like
a thing of the past,
270
00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:54,379
a relic from a bygone era.
271
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:57,312
It's a good speech. (CHUCKLES)
272
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:59,010
What?
273
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:01,849
The speech, it's a good speech.
274
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:05,490
(CHUCKLES) Oh, my God.
You're terrible at this.
275
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:07,423
At what?
276
00:12:08,427 --> 00:12:09,951
(SIGHS)
277
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,722
I... I don't...
278
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:16,927
I don't indulge very often.
279
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:20,062
Indulge? Cyrus, I'm not a dessert.
280
00:12:21,006 --> 00:12:24,100
I like you. I'm attracted to you.
281
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:26,269
Now that you're divorced,
I want to date you.
282
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:28,938
Because you're intense
and you're strong,
283
00:12:30,349 --> 00:12:34,410
and even though you're a Republican,
you have a very hot mouth.
284
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:43,092
Cyrus, that was my move.
285
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:45,925
It's now your turn to make a move back.
286
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:49,296
Unless I've just been deluding myself
287
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:52,768
that there is something here
and you can't figure out a way to tell me.
288
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:57,235
(SIGHS)
289
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,736
Okay. I'm sorry,
I won't bother you anymore.
290
00:13:03,048 --> 00:13:04,242
No, no, no!
291
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,310
(MOANS)
292
00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:13,786
That was my move!
293
00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:16,418
You're damn right that's your move.
294
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:24,232
C YRUS: Sally's decided
to mourn the Press Secretary
295
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:26,828
by going down to Houston to meet with
her good friends from the gun lobby.
296
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:27,998
What are you doing here?
You should be at home.
297
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:29,097
Why isn't he at home?
298
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:30,733
He needs to work. Let it go.
299
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:31,902
- Cyrus.
- You heard her.
300
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,842
Let it go.
301
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:38,947
All right.
302
00:13:39,018 --> 00:13:40,781
So, what's the plan?
303
00:13:40,853 --> 00:13:43,151
You want me to fly down to Houston
and meet with the gun lobby today?
304
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:44,246
No, that's...
305
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,154
Bad optics, given the situation.
306
00:13:46,358 --> 00:13:47,518
But we can send Andrew.
307
00:13:47,626 --> 00:13:48,991
With his record on guns?
He's too moderate.
308
00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:50,085
And Mellie.
309
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:51,629
They do love Mellie.
310
00:13:51,697 --> 00:13:52,755
- Mellie's kin.
- All right.
311
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,357
But if Sally's leaving in a few hours,
we need to get ahead of her.
312
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:56,957
We need help
from our commander-in-chief.
313
00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:02,001
"Four gun control bills signed into law
when he was Governor of California.
314
00:14:02,107 --> 00:14:04,007
"His very being,
an assault on the Second Amendment."
315
00:14:04,109 --> 00:14:05,633
"An assault..."
Gun lobby's gonna love that.

"And this arduous weapons ban
he's supporting..."

does Grant not understand?

Jim, what's going on?
Why are we turning?
319
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:16,480
We have to head back
to the White House, ma'am.

00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:22,025
Cyrus Beene,
that grief-stricken son of a bitch.

00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:24,357
- I'll handle this, Madam Vice President.

324
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,562
Hut!
325
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:31,659
Another bird that gets to have
dinner with his family tonight.
326
00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:34,238
The gun lobby
has five million members.
327
00:14:34,306 --> 00:14:35,295
If you want their support,
328
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:37,501
it's not enough to be seen
with a shotgun in your hands.
329
00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:38,634
You need to know how to use it.
330
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,406
In case my family ever gets attacked
by clay pigeons?
331
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,672
Or armed intruders.
332
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:44,306
Oh, that's right. You and your beloved
Second Amendment.
333
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:46,749
"The right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be infringed."
334
00:14:46,819 --> 00:14:49,049
Wiser words were never written.
335
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:50,310

00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:53,785

Fifth place,
Junior World Championships.

00:14:58,430 --> 00:14:59,419
Uh-huh.
340
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,534
I'm sorry, there must have been
a miscommunication.
341
00:15:03,602 --> 00:15:06,765
I only speak to Ivan. But your name is...
342
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:08,601
- Pavlo.
- Dimitri.
343
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:10,641
Can you see why I'm confused?
344
00:15:10,709 --> 00:15:13,872
Ivan is very busy man.
He doesn't know you, neither do we.
345
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:15,743
You want to do business?
You work with us.
346
00:15:15,848 --> 00:15:16,906
First off, where's money?
347
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,278
Perhaps we could
get started with negotiations,
348
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:25,084
and arrange for a meeting
with Ivan after...
349
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:26,179
(SILENCED GUNSHOTS)
350
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,052
Uh-uh, Dimitri.
351
00:15:29,395 --> 00:15:30,589
Would you mind?
352
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:33,431
Now. Dimitri.
353
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:38,761
Tell Ivan that Marie Wallace
sends her condolences for his loss,
354
00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:41,271
and she looks forward
to meeting with him soon.
355
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:44,906
You have something?
356
00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:46,604
When I took the Daniel Douglas file
from your safe,
357
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:48,612
it showed signs of tampering.
358
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:50,375
I pulled footage off the cam inside...
359
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:51,939
You put a camera in my safe?
360
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:53,245
When David stole the Cytron card,
361
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:56,550
it exposed holes in our security system.
I upgraded.
362
00:15:57,890 --> 00:15:58,914
Quinn was here.
363
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:02,489
She went right for that file,
which means...
364
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,586
B-613 knows everything.
365
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:08,098
Three innocent lives!
366
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:10,829
And one of them was a friend of mine!
367
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:12,233
Innocence is in the eye of the beholder,
368
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:13,464
and I think you're smart enough to see
369
00:16:13,572 --> 00:16:16,006
why my definition
is different than yours.
370
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:18,406
So you admit this was B-613?
371
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:20,502
I am telling you bad things happen.
372
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:22,671
A reporter and an NSA worker
go missing.
373
00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:24,339
A press secretary dies in a carjacking.
374
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,180
It's unfortunate. Life is unfortunate.
375
00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:31,484
Random. Coincidental. Bad things
happen to good people all the time.
376
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,957
No. You make bad things happen
to good people.
377
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,688
- Who put you up to this?
- Olivia.
378
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:39,855
I want to know. Who?
Who made you do this?
379
00:16:39,965 --> 00:16:42,695
You tell me who made you do this?
Who?
380
00:16:42,801 --> 00:16:45,861
I am Command, Olivia!
Who do you think?
381
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:51,108
(SOFTLY) This was your call?
382
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:52,666
This was my call.
383
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:55,975
I am protecting the Republic.
I keep this country running.
384
00:16:56,048 --> 00:17:00,382
I do what needs to be done.
It's my job. I'm Command.
385
00:17:00,486 --> 00:17:02,545
You told me you would be different.
386
00:17:02,654 --> 00:17:03,780
- I am different.
- No. No!
387
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:07,883
Fitz gave you the keys to this office
and immediately you became my father.
388
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:09,358
I am different!
389
00:17:09,461 --> 00:17:11,122
Because when something awful
needed to be done,
390
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:13,687
I did not pull some poor, broken soldier
391
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:15,562
out of a hole
and make him do something
392
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:18,966
that would give him nightmares
for the rest of his life.
393
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,165
I did that awful thing myself.
394
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,746
James Novak died in a carjacking.
395
00:17:30,849 --> 00:17:32,976
Accept that
and the world keeps spinning.
396
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:35,346
And if I don't?
397
00:17:36,522 --> 00:17:38,387

all the time.

- I'm being unreasonable?

Don't you dare make this
about me, Cyrus,
403
00:18:06,518 --> 00:18:08,042
when this is so clearly all about you
404
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,782
being too afraid to tell
your other boyfriend that you're gay!
405
00:18:10,889 --> 00:18:12,186
I am not afraid, James.
406
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:15,283
I am just not ready to tell
the President of the United States
407
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:16,884
what I do when I go home at night.
408
00:18:16,962 --> 00:18:18,020
When are you gonna
be ready, Cyrus, huh?
409
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,086
Because I seem to remember
you telling me
410
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:20,825
that things were
going to be different after the election.
411
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:22,526
- James...
- I brought a tux, Cyrus!

standing me up for the Ball!

I can't take you to the Inaugural Ball!

You knew that I couldn't take you!
415
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:33,700
Bringing a tux anyway is your way
of trying to make me the bad guy.
416
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:34,803
You are the bad guy!
417
00:18:34,913 --> 00:18:36,141

I am traditional. I am not interested
in flaunting my secrets.

of our nation's capital.

- There will be.

Because you scheduled a meeting
with the Attorney General.

Not to tell him what happened.

if everyone is evil,

- "Oh, that"?
- Hmm.

You want me to be your dad?
I'll be your dad.

One hundred eighty-three.
475
00:21:56,281 --> 00:21:58,806
That's the number of people
I am responsible for killing.
476
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:03,013
Not the number of people I've killed.
The number I'm responsible for.
477
00:22:03,121 --> 00:22:04,850
There's a difference.
478
00:22:04,956 --> 00:22:06,583
You get an order to kill someone,
479
00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:10,094
well, maybe you pull the trigger,
but it's not on you.
480
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,255
They ordered it.
481
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,663
If you didn't kill the poor bastard,
somebody else would.
482
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:17,792
But when you become Command,
483
00:22:17,869 --> 00:22:20,861
you are the one giving the orders.
484
00:22:20,972 --> 00:22:24,703
You are the one making the decisions.
485
00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:28,109
You have to choose who lives,
who dies.
486
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:31,479
You are responsible.
487
00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:33,541
So you become
488
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,345
the hand of God.
489
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:42,326
One hundred eighty-three.
490
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:45,963
I know all of their names.
I know how old they were.
491
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:47,055
If they had children.
492
00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:48,792
If they would be missed.
493
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:53,304
One hundred eighty-three.
I never made a decision lightly.
494
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:55,670
I always suffered a bit with each one.
495
00:22:55,741 --> 00:22:58,175
The responsibility of that.
496
00:22:58,243 --> 00:23:01,644
The gravity of that, the weight of it.
497
00:23:01,713 --> 00:23:05,843
It marks me, it stains me,
it never leaves me.
498
00:23:05,917 --> 00:23:08,317
I am responsible.
499
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:10,048
One hundred eighty-three.
500
00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:12,817
So whatever you think of Jake,
501
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:15,985
however you want to punish him,
502
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:22,159
being the hand of God is already
the worst punishment in the world.
503
00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:28,933
And there is, incidentally, a point.
504
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,568
If there are no more white hats,
if the deck is always stacked,
505
00:23:33,678 --> 00:23:36,670
and if everyone you love is a monster,
506
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:40,548
there is, in fact, someone worth saving.
507
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:41,677
Who?
508
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:43,118
Everyone!
509
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:47,119
Everyone is worth saving.
510
00:23:47,225 --> 00:23:48,852
Even the monsters. Even the demons.
511
00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:52,385
Everyone is worth saving.
512
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:54,091
In the face of darkness,
513
00:23:54,199 --> 00:23:59,034
you drag everyone into the light.
514

were to make some kind of gesture?

would make you feel more confident

Though, if I were you,
a speech from the White House

They're still leaning toward Langston,

No. That's okay.

winning the base back later.
