1
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:06,328
The framework for the next phase
of the talks is in place.
2
00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:09,067
- The Iranians signed off on Vienna.
- But not on the venue.
3
00:00:09,209 --> 00:00:11,541
- We need to finalize the schedule.
- And the venue.
4
00:00:11,644 --> 00:00:14,545
- Schedule determines available venues.
- We'll get into it, sir.
5
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:19,482
If it were up to me, I would lock the
Iranians in the back room of a clam bar
6
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:20,779
until we had a deal.
7
00:00:20,887 --> 00:00:24,482
It might have to be
a Wiener schnitzel bar in Vienna, sir.
8
00:00:24,624 --> 00:00:26,785
Alright. Thanks, everybody.
9
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:32,994
- Uh, Matt?
- Yeah?
10
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,662
How's that speech coming along?
11
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:37,962
I'll have a draft by the time you land.
12
00:00:38,071 --> 00:00:41,802
- Good.
- Sir, the policy stances you asked for
13
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:44,809
are very much at odds
with the administration.
14
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:45,969
Again?
15
00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:51,515
- I can soften them.
- Nah. I want a clear, bold vision.
16
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:53,509
Yes, sir.
17
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:54,813
- And Matt?
- Hm?
18
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:59,253
- You know I count on your discretion.
- Of course.
19
00:01:02,562 --> 00:01:04,257
- What did he want?
- Nothing.
20
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:05,625
- You're lying.
- I'm not.
21
00:01:05,765 --> 00:01:06,789
And you're bad at it.
22
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:09,527
If I were lying, which I am not,
you would never know.
23
00:01:09,636 --> 00:01:12,070
So, the secretary
just wanted to shoot the breeze?
24
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:13,832
- We have a rapport.
- Oh, please!
25
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:17,409
You're just jealous that the big guy
is taking an interest in me.
26
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:20,377
Wait, that man would eat his young
for a leg-up.
27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,607
You're mistaking cozy
for something else.
28
00:01:26,886 --> 00:01:28,683
You wanted to see me, Mr Secretary?
29
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:30,016
Yes. Come in.
30
00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:41,792
I am sorry,
but I have to cancel our weekend.
31
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:45,397
Is it your wife?
32
00:01:46,072 --> 00:01:48,302
No, it's personal business.
33
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:52,673
- Can I ask what?
- You can ask me anything.
34
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:54,074
It's an estate matter
35
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:57,411
relating to my family's
old cattle ranch outside Caracas.
36
00:01:57,517 --> 00:02:00,247
I... I need to handle it personally.
37
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:04,554
OK, then.
38
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:08,054
When I get back...
39
00:02:11,164 --> 00:02:12,722
...I'll make it up to you.
40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,267
You better.
41
00:02:23,743 --> 00:02:27,008
- You're good to go, Mr Secretary.
- Thanks, Fred.
42
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:29,638
Mike and Tony have your back
while you're down there.
43
00:02:29,782 --> 00:02:33,013
If they can keep up.
Hope you boys like riding horses.
44
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:37,548
- Happy trails, sir.
- Thanks.
45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Ripped By mstoll
46
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:52,562
Oh, great.
47
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:55,198
Need a hand...
48
00:02:57,443 --> 00:02:59,570
- Sit down.
- It's pretty rough, huh?
49
00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:09,846
Are you alright? Are you alright?
50
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:19,320
We have hit severe CAT.
51
00:03:19,432 --> 00:03:22,265
I think the stub trim
is broken completely.
52
00:03:22,402 --> 00:03:25,565
- What the hell is going on?
- I've lost pitch control.
53
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:28,971
- Can you get it back?
- The stabilizer's failed completely.
54
00:03:30,009 --> 00:03:32,034
I cannot keep us in the air.
55
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:36,682
So it goes.
56
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:38,775
Trying to push and roll.
57
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:41,183
Losing altitude fast.
58
00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:43,687
No, no, no, no, no...
59
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:46,691
Play back that last part.
60
00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:49,091
Keep us in the air.
61
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:53,561
So it goes.
62
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:55,632
"So it goes," huh?
63
00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:57,963
Pretty calm for a guy
who thinks he's about to die.
64
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:00,198
The NTSB didn't find
the comment remarkable.
65
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:01,864
Well, they didn't have reason to.
66
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:05,774
I once had a wing drop that sent me
into an uncontrolled roll at 1,000 feet.
67
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:08,641
Whoa! You never told me that.
68
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:13,309
Well, the point is... everything slowed.
All I felt was calm.
69
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:15,717
OK, Iceman, but you were a pilot
70
00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:18,052
and Marsh doesn't exactly
sound calm to me.
71
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:19,658
More like he isn't surprised.
72
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:23,057
You know, like he crossed someone
and is expecting payback.
73
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:26,324
- You've seen too many spy movies.
- And lived a few.
74
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:27,660
What about you, babe?
75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,268
Does he sound like a guy
who suspected foul play?
76
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,199
Well, George thought it was.
77
00:04:32,372 --> 00:04:35,136
Two months after Marsh's plane
went down,
78
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:39,268
George stood right over there
and said that crash wasn't an accident
79
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:41,778
and that somebody in the CIA
was behind it.
80
00:04:41,881 --> 00:04:44,941
No matter how wigged out George was,
he was a damn good analyst.
81
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:47,348
Three days later,
he dies in a car crash
82
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:51,389
that anyone with basic tradecraft skills
could have made look like an accident.
83
00:04:51,491 --> 00:04:52,617
It reeks of foul play.
84
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:56,251
And yet here's
this 2,000-page NTSB report
85
00:04:56,396 --> 00:04:59,456
that concludes Vincent Marsh's
plane crash was an accident.
86
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,830
Well, we owe it to George to see
if we can prove it wrong. Gimme.
87
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,740
The NTSB's conclusion
seems irrefutable.
88
00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:12,777
The R-47 jackscrew
in the tail assembly failed,
89
00:05:12,912 --> 00:05:18,373
taking out the horizontal stabilizers,
resulting in an unrecoverable dive.
90
00:05:18,518 --> 00:05:20,145
A broken screw? Seriously?
91
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,778
Well, the R-47 is more like a rod.
It's about an inch in diameter.
92
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:26,118
Says it was rated for ten years.
93
00:05:26,225 --> 00:05:28,557
It was at eight and a half
at the time of the crash.
94
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:30,788
It's not crazy
it would fail a little early.
95
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:34,229
Well, the C-600 jet
has a pretty great safety record.
96
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,927
Only one crash
in the past 15 years in Dubai.
97
00:05:37,036 --> 00:05:38,867
Wait a minute. I remember that.
98
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:41,235
I was on the Middle East desk
at the time.
99
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:43,808
Some Iranian scientist died?
100
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:45,467
Their top nuclear physicist.
101
00:05:45,645 --> 00:05:48,443
Right. There was speculation
that Mossad was behind that.
102
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:50,878
It was also stabilizer failure.
103
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:52,882
- The R-47 jackscrew.
- A coincidence?
104
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:55,180
Well, there's
a whole section on it here.
105
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:59,019
The investigators looked hard at the
Dubai crash, comparing it to Marsh's.
106
00:05:59,158 --> 00:06:02,423
At the time, the screw was rated
for 15 years. It was changed to ten.
107
00:06:02,562 --> 00:06:05,122
But the only connection
between Dubai and Marsh
108
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:07,892
is the failure to recognize
the weakness of the alloy
109
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,763
used in the screws in the first place.
110
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:12,769
So, if someone sabotaged Marsh's plane,
111
00:06:12,905 --> 00:06:15,840
they knew that the investigators
would look at the Dubai crash
112
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:18,340
and assume it was a similar issue
with that screw.
113
00:06:18,444 --> 00:06:20,935
Which is exactly what happened.
114
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:25,848
OK. So how do you sabotage
an R-47 jackscrew?
115
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:29,716
The jackscrew's concealed behind
the main plate and the tail section.
116
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:31,380
You're familiar with this plane?
117
00:06:31,524 --> 00:06:35,016
There are some design similarities
to the F/A-18s I used to fly.
118
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:37,925
I knew every inch of that plane.
I'll study up on this.
119
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:41,431
For now, who could have access
to that main plate?
120
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:44,127
You'd have to remove the plate
to get to the jackscrew.
121
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:46,398
And then reattach it. Pretty big job.
122
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:48,370
Because it was Marsh's plane,
123
00:06:48,474 --> 00:06:50,965
it could only have been
a legit maintenance worker.
124
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,601
Of all the maintenance workers,
125
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,179
it'd have to be someone
not just rated for airframe,
126
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:59,183
but with an expertise
in tail-section hydraulics as well.
127
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,650
One of these five guys.
128
00:07:00,787 --> 00:07:04,416
So, if the plane was sabotaged,
one of them did it.
129
00:07:16,736 --> 00:07:20,832
Doesn't feel real
until the POIs go up on the whiteboard.
130
00:07:20,973 --> 00:07:23,134
I'll run deep background on them.
Quietly.
131
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:25,176
Is this what you do all day at Langley?
132
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:29,213
Pretty much. But it was more fun
when Elizabeth was still around.
133
00:07:29,382 --> 00:07:31,748
Yeah, hopped up on caffeine,
134
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,615
solving mysteries the rest of the world
didn't know about.
135
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:36,517
If you screw up, people die.
136
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:39,352
- That sounds really fun.
- Just like old times, yeah?
137
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:43,594
Except now I'm secretary of state
and my boss is the president.
138
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:47,661
He's not just Director Dalton
in the funny bow tie anymore.
139
00:07:49,368 --> 00:07:51,632
- Conrad, hey.
- Sorry to interrupt.
140
00:07:51,804 --> 00:07:54,739
- Do you have a minute, Bess?
- Sure.
141
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:59,335
Oh, uh... let me just go get
some more coffee.
142
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:00,742
Oh, please.
143
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:04,277
What's up?
144
00:08:04,417 --> 00:08:08,183
I... wanted to check with you
about that Dubai crash.
145
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:10,982
Well, UAE prelim report
said it was an accident.
146
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:14,120
What do you think?
147
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:20,832
Five Iranian nationals dead.
UAE is neutral toward Iran.
148
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:22,434
No reason to doubt the report.
149
00:08:23,302 --> 00:08:27,102
And Abolfazi.
Just a coincidence he was on board?
150
00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:30,607
Definitely bad
for Iran's nuclear ambitions.
151
00:08:32,044 --> 00:08:34,205
You think Mossad
had something to do with it?
152
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,508
- I don't know.
- It's good for us, too.
153
00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:42,315
Yeah. Guess we got lucky.
154
00:08:44,991 --> 00:08:47,551
- Let me know if you hear anything, huh?
- Yeah.
155
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:51,824
- Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.
- Of course we should.
156
00:08:51,964 --> 00:08:55,024
- What are we talking about?
- If Marsh was murdered,
157
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:58,364
whoever's behind it had no problem
killing the secretary of state.
158
00:08:58,471 --> 00:09:01,907
We have to consider the kids. Maybe
it's too dangerous to go poking around.
159
00:09:02,008 --> 00:09:05,068
You know what would be dangerous?
Not knowing.
160
00:09:05,177 --> 00:09:06,735
Are you about to quote Sun Tzu?
161
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,744
No, I'm more of a Patton guy.
162
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:12,339
But you do need to know your enemy.
163
00:09:12,485 --> 00:09:16,319
It wouldn't be safe for our family
for us not to look into this.
164
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:22,884
Maybe that screw just failed.
Maybe it was just an accident.
165
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:35,399
No, I'm not asking him out!
That's insane. Isn't it?
166
00:09:35,541 --> 00:09:40,001
I mean, I can't ask him out.
How do you ask a guy like that out?
167
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:43,047
Two shots at a big brother
that I will never get back.
168
00:09:43,182 --> 00:09:46,709
- I have to break in my cleats, doofus.
- Here? Like, now?
169
00:09:46,819 --> 00:09:48,844
Do you actually think
I should ask him out?
170
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:52,014
- I have a big game tomorrow.
- Wait. Your games are on Sunday.
171
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:54,217
Playoffs.
Quarterfinals are after school.
172
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,521
What? No! I have a seminar tomorrow.
173
00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:59,154
Ah, I'm gonna miss it.
I'm so sorry, Noodle.
174
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:01,460
That's fine. It's only quarterfinals.
175
00:10:02,401 --> 00:10:04,961
- I'll go.
- I thought security said you can't.
176
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:07,198
Well, it's the playoffs.
177
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:10,639
Yay! But no being diplomatic
about who you root for.
178
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:11,800
No worries there.
179
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:16,745
I will shamelessly cheer for you
and jeer and hiss at the other team.
180
00:10:16,849 --> 00:10:20,148
Oh, hey, no, you're right.
Yes, I am gonna ask him out.
181
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:22,853
I don't know. Maybe like...
182
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,013
Bye, guys.
183
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:29,554
We'd like to review the protocol
for tomorrow's Nauru coffee.
184
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:31,493
- Nay-who?
- Uh, Nauru.
185
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,462
It's one of our fellow nations on earth.
186
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:36,500
- Since when?
- 3,000 years ago.
187
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,264
Tiny South Pacific island.
Population 10,000.
188
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:41,703
Godfrey Yispinza, their president,
is coming.
189
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,637
We need full-on head-of-state moves.
190
00:10:43,776 --> 00:10:47,007
Actually, Yispinza's
their foreign minister.
191
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:50,276
Might wanna get our facts straight,
so we make those right moves.
192
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,884
- They are. He's the president.
- Foreign minister.
193
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:55,647
Seems my crack team
has this under control.
194
00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:58,382
- I trust you to handle the planning.
- Thank you.
195
00:10:59,692 --> 00:11:01,216
- Morning, Blake.
- Morning.
196
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:04,785
- Get me Fred Cole in my office.
- There's someone else in your office.
197
00:11:06,132 --> 00:11:09,659
Scary guy.
198
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:14,936
Russell, you gotta stop
intimidating my assistant.
199
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:17,669
I can say the same about you
and the NTSB chair.
200
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:18,834
What do you mean?
201
00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:23,340
I got a call from Chairman Nelson, said
you enquired about the Marsh report.
202
00:11:23,449 --> 00:11:24,473
That's right.
203
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:29,020
Did you really ask if they polygraphed
the maintenance guys?
204
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:32,454
- I just had a few questions.
- You planning to question the report?
205
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:33,751
Of course not.
206
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:36,953
But I'm sitting in Marsh's seat.
I'm interested in what happened.
207
00:11:37,063 --> 00:11:39,361
What happened is in the damn report.
208
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:43,167
You know,
someone recently reminded me
209
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:45,567
that I'm fourth in line
for the presidency.
210
00:11:45,671 --> 00:11:47,866
So, you don't get to push me around.
211
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:50,475
And I'm chief of staff
to the actual president.
212
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,577
It's my job to know everything
213
00:11:52,678 --> 00:11:54,873
and to keep peace
between all the departments.
214
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:56,777
Through bullying and intimidation?
215
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,975
Madam Secretary...
216
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:03,252
...don't go sticking your nose
where it doesn't belong.
217
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:06,584
Oh, Russell, get out of my office.
218
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:17,998
Westmore Prep's soccer field
is what we call a rat trap.
219
00:12:18,137 --> 00:12:20,799
Easily accessible, hard to escape.
220
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:24,808
360 degrees of open area.
Lines of sight all around.
221
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:28,243
Hmm. Yeah. I see that.
222
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:31,747
- Now I'm asking you to make it work.
- I don't know if I can do that, ma'am.
223
00:12:32,885 --> 00:12:34,250
Well, then we have a problem
224
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:38,345
because I am going to
my daughter's soccer game, right there,
225
00:12:38,457 --> 00:12:40,482
tomorrow at 2:30.
226
00:12:40,626 --> 00:12:42,821
Due respect, but not on my watch.
227
00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:48,229
Fred, you know my next move.
I don't wanna have to let you go.
228
00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:53,104
Ma'am, I already lost
one secretary of state.
229
00:12:55,074 --> 00:12:56,905
I'm not losing another one.
230
00:12:57,610 --> 00:12:59,874
Secretary Marsh died in a plane crash.
231
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:03,045
It wasn't your fault, Fred.
232
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:07,585
My job is to keep the secretary safe.
I don't make excuses, ma'am.
233
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:12,513
OK... How about this?
234
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:17,395
You take whatever precautions
you need to.
235
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:18,929
Even embarrassing ones.
236
00:13:19,031 --> 00:13:22,933
You could lock me
in a bulletproof bubble if you have to.
237
00:13:23,035 --> 00:13:26,198
Just... you get me to that game.
238
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:32,270
Ma'am, we should go over the seating
chart for the Nauru coffee tomorrow.
239
00:13:32,411 --> 00:13:35,039
- Chart, huh?
- I know you're not a fan.
240
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:40,278
Wait. Cancel Nauru.
Bring in the Israeli delegation instead.
241
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:42,751
- On one day's notice?
- Yeah.
242
00:13:42,855 --> 00:13:47,349
Ma'am, the Nauru coffee
has been on the books for months.
243
00:13:47,459 --> 00:13:50,792
Prime Minister Yispinza
is already here in DC.
244
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:54,059
Somebody has got
to nail down that guy's title.
245
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,690
- Why Israel?
- Why now?
246
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:59,066
- Because the secretary said so!
- But won't the Nauruans be offended?
247
00:13:59,205 --> 00:14:03,403
Of course they will.
Which is why God created gift baskets.
248
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:05,635
How can we prep for Israel
in less than a day?
249
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:07,769
By not wasting any more time.
250
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,711
I'll get into it with
the Office of the Chief of Protocol.
251
00:14:15,154 --> 00:14:16,212
What is it?
252
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:19,791
My landlord. The pipes
in my building burst. I gotta go.
253
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:22,189
- Wait. You're lying.
- No, I'm not.
254
00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:24,023
- Dude!
- I'll talk to you later.
255
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:26,256
Wait. What about prepping for Israel?
256
00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:42,379
What do you have for me
on the secretary, Matt?
257
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,644
- I don't have anything.
- Of course you do.
258
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:53,624
Tell me... what kind of mood she's in.
259
00:14:56,362 --> 00:15:00,093
I'm... I don't feel comfortable
with this.
260
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:02,632
You were comfortable
when you worked for Marsh.
261
00:15:02,801 --> 00:15:06,635
That was different. She's not conspiring
against the president.
262
00:15:06,805 --> 00:15:08,363
What is she doing?
263
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,572
I never agreed
to spy on Secretary McCord.
264
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:15,203
I won't do it.
265
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,316
Well, then think of it as keeping tabs.
266
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,620
Come on, Matt. This is how it works.
267
00:15:24,623 --> 00:15:28,150
You give me something,
I give you something.
268
00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:31,053
Don't you want an office
in the West Wing?
269
00:15:39,371 --> 00:15:41,771
I ran background
on our five mechanics.
270
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:44,468
Called in favors.
Came close to breaking laws.
271
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:47,875
- It's not one of them?
- Sorry. No red flags.
272
00:15:48,013 --> 00:15:51,540
No unexplained influxes of money
or secret bank accounts.
273
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:52,947
No suspicious behavior.
274
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:55,213
- Well, then that's it. We're done.
- Hmm.
275
00:15:55,354 --> 00:15:58,653
If the plane was sabotaged,
it had to be one of them.
276
00:15:58,791 --> 00:15:59,815
Maybe not.
277
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:03,190
OK, you're the one who said
it had to be one of them.
278
00:16:03,329 --> 00:16:06,127
I've been looking over the design
of the C-600.
279
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:07,289
What about it?
280
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:11,534
Marsh's pilot cites a patch
of severe CAT,
281
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,572
clear air turbulence,
in the moments before the dive.
282
00:16:14,707 --> 00:16:17,369
But turbulence can't take a plane down.
Even I know that.
283
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:20,103
Right, but severe CAT is rough.
284
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:23,010
If there's metal fatigue on a part,
like the R-47 jackscrew,
285
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,378
the pressure can push it
to the breaking point.
286
00:16:25,517 --> 00:16:29,510
- Which is the NTSB's conclusion.
- So, what if it wasn't CAT?
287
00:16:29,621 --> 00:16:33,250
What if it was something else
and the pilot mistook it for turbulence?
288
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:39,222
Sabotage a different part of the plane
in order to put stress on the jackscrew?
289
00:16:39,365 --> 00:16:43,062
Pilot says it's turbulence, so the NTSB
investigators never questioned it.
290
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:45,568
They assumed the jackscrew cracked,
291
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:48,640
causing the tail to come apart
because the plane was shaking.
292
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:52,642
But what if the tail breaking apart
is what caused the shaking?
293
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:56,373
Which, in turn,
put pressure on the jackscrew.
294
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:59,383
Wouldn't the investigators
have noted the order of events?
295
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:02,283
When the plane crashed,
everything was smashed to pieces.
296
00:17:02,388 --> 00:17:05,357
So, there's no way to know
what order they broke up in.
297
00:17:05,491 --> 00:17:08,551
Well, look, I have no idea
how any of this would be achieved.
298
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:09,991
It's just a crazy theory.
299
00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:14,566
No, it's interesting.
It's like a magic trick.
300
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,500
And then the pilot unwittingly
helps sell it by reporting turbulence.
301
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:23,200
It would have to be a genius, like a
diabolical saboteur out of a Bond movie.
302
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,778
Well, if you were going
to kill the secretary of state,
303
00:17:26,912 --> 00:17:29,608
don't you think you'd wanna hire
one of those types?
304
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:39,714
Apparently, every pair of my shoes
is out of fashion.
305
00:17:39,825 --> 00:17:42,419
You really needed a magazine
to tell you that, Mom?
306
00:17:43,328 --> 00:17:45,819
Guess I'll just embarrass you
at your game.
307
00:17:45,964 --> 00:17:47,625
She's embarrassing me at this game.
308
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:49,791
Come on, Dad. Stop going easy on me.
309
00:17:49,935 --> 00:17:52,130
I'm not.
310
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:53,534
Stevie! What? What?
311
00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:56,574
I have a date
with the cutest guy on earth!
312
00:18:03,215 --> 00:18:04,273
Are you guys OK?
313
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,279
Yeah.
314
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,722
- Did you get my text?
- Yeah. All 106 of 'em.
315
00:18:16,829 --> 00:18:18,820
You counted them,
but you didn't respond?
316
00:18:18,964 --> 00:18:21,125
Look, I drafted her remarks, OK?
317
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:22,892
What do you want, a Scooby snack?
318
00:18:24,369 --> 00:18:25,734
Where the hell have you been?
319
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:28,432
I-I told you, I... My pipes burst.
320
00:18:28,574 --> 00:18:32,305
Let's see the pictures of the flooding
you took for the insurance claim.
321
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:33,639
I don't have insurance.
322
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:34,973
It was a job interview.
323
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,141
That's why you've been so preoccupied.
324
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:42,448
But you already have a great job, so it
must be a greater job. The White House?
325
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:45,022
No! I mean, no! No, absolutely not.
326
00:18:45,157 --> 00:18:46,215
Oh, protest too much?
327
00:18:46,358 --> 00:18:47,848
No! I mean... Cut it out.
328
00:18:48,994 --> 00:18:50,052
It's a deputy spot.
329
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:54,160
Hey, I need to review
the secretary's remarks.
330
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:55,995
Did you get my messaging statement?
331
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:57,830
- Knock, knock.
- What is it, Blake?
332
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:01,406
The NASA administrator
wants a meeting with Madam Secretary.
333
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:04,065
NASA?
Does he know we only handle earth?
334
00:19:04,176 --> 00:19:05,268
He said it was urgent.
335
00:19:06,311 --> 00:19:07,403
What's it about?
336
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:08,808
Time travel.
337
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:12,413
- Excuse me?
- You heard me right.
338
00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:18,785
OK. Well, if you've got a time
machine, I'd sure like to borrow it.
339
00:19:21,493 --> 00:19:25,725
You think that what I do doesn't matter.
That the space program is irrelevant.
340
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:28,833
The fact that my agency is the only one
in the entire government
341
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:34,928
currently driving a freaking SUV across
the surface of Mars isn't important.
342
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,339
- Administrator
- No, no, please. Call me Glenn.
343
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:43,405
Glenn, my earliest memories
are of the Apollo missions.
344
00:19:43,549 --> 00:19:47,747
I think NASA plays a vital role
in this country.
345
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:48,911
Thank you.
346
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:55,788
So, how can I help you...
with time travel?
347
00:19:57,429 --> 00:20:00,796
The Gimbal-Solander telescope
is scheduled to be deployed next month.
348
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,358
Its next-gen lenses are so powerful
349
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:07,370
that they will be able
to see back in time.
350
00:20:07,472 --> 00:20:12,034
To the light that emanated in the...
in the milliseconds after the Big Bang.
351
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:14,168
Now, we're placing it on the equator,
352
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,271
in a corner of the earth
devoid of light pollution.
353
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:23,386
Let me guess. On a remote island
in the South Pacific.
354
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:24,579
Nauru?
355
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:30,219
It was supposed to be placed on Nauru,
until the State Department
356
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:32,956
insulted Nauru's
chairman of the cabinet, Yispinza,
357
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,295
by unceremoniously canceling on him.
358
00:20:37,369 --> 00:20:38,802
Chairman of the cabinet?
359
00:20:40,872 --> 00:20:44,467
There's been some debate
over Mr Yispinza's title.
360
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:48,569
It doesn't matter what his title is.
He's threatening to cancel our contract.
361
00:20:50,015 --> 00:20:54,076
But there is no better place on earth
for the Gimbal-Solander.
362
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:57,416
Please, make things right with Nauru.
363
00:20:58,457 --> 00:20:59,515
I'll do my best.
364
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:02,789
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
365
00:21:05,364 --> 00:21:06,763
Uh, Glenn...
366
00:21:07,666 --> 00:21:11,830
What do you think you'll see
in that billions-year-old light?
367
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:16,537
It's impossible to say. Maybe God.
368
00:21:17,542 --> 00:21:20,340
Or secrets of the universe.
369
00:21:21,046 --> 00:21:23,674
The unknowable, Ms Tolliver.
370
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:32,850
The briefing book
for the Israeli coffee, ma'am.
371
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:37,985
Oh, you really think I'll be able
to read all 172 pages
372
00:21:38,196 --> 00:21:40,596
between here
and Conference Room East?
373
00:21:40,699 --> 00:21:43,566
The Communications Department
came through on short notice.
374
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:47,765
Well, luckily, I'm pretty well versed
in Israeli geopolitics.
375
00:21:49,274 --> 00:21:52,573
- NASA guy likes you, you know.
- He does not.
376
00:21:52,678 --> 00:21:54,976
Trust me. Years of spy training.
377
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,275
Plus, you know, I'm a woman.
378
00:21:57,883 --> 00:21:59,714
- You should ask him out.
- I couldn't.
379
00:22:00,786 --> 00:22:04,017
I noticed he wasn't wearing a ring.
Spy training's pretty impressive.
380
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:06,518
I'm not ready.
381
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,589
- I don't wanna overstep.
- Too late.
382
00:22:11,596 --> 00:22:13,427
Nadine, you deserve to be happy.
383
00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:20,662
Besides... maybe
he'll let you drive the Mars Rover.
384
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,568
See you in there.
385
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:32,882
I am the writer.
386
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:34,383
I'm in charge of the messaging.
387
00:22:34,553 --> 00:22:36,384
- Is that a word?
- I'm gonna punch you!
388
00:22:36,555 --> 00:22:39,490
- Hey! You need to work together.
- Great.
389
00:22:39,624 --> 00:22:42,388
So, I will write the talking points
390
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,986
and then you can message them
however you want.
391
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:48,293
No. I'll craft the message first.
392
00:22:48,433 --> 00:22:50,492
You sound ridic...
393
00:22:50,635 --> 00:22:52,500
What the hell was that?
394
00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:56,200
He was here.
How can this be happening?
395
00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:58,640
Maybe they got it wrong.
Do we have confirmation?
396
00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:00,369
What is it?
397
00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:04,576
Uh...
398
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:12,717
Uh, Secretary Marsh's plane
went down in the Atlantic.
399
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,594
Coast guard confirms...
there's no survivors.
400
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:28,400
Gather all the undersecretaries.
Get them all in here right now.
401
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:30,632
Jay, go!
402
00:23:30,776 --> 00:23:32,801
Yeah, OK. Alright, people come on.
403
00:23:37,282 --> 00:23:40,080
Our challenges
in the Middle East are great,
404
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:44,552
but our commitment to a shared vision
of peace and prosperity in the region
405
00:23:44,656 --> 00:23:45,987
needs to be even greater.
406
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:48,355
Thank you all for coming.
407
00:23:49,027 --> 00:23:50,619
Now eat!
408
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:55,858
Ambassador Dori.
409
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:59,664
Madam Secretary,
your remarks were very gracious.
410
00:23:59,805 --> 00:24:03,241
Thanks for saying that.
They often feel a little canned.
411
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,639
I know the feeling.
412
00:24:05,777 --> 00:24:10,805
Sometimes I miss our old jobs
where you can be under the radar.
413
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:14,248
I don't think I'll ever get used
to talking about what I'm doing.
414
00:24:15,954 --> 00:24:18,616
Well, speaking of things
that you didn't talk about...
415
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:22,754
The C-600 crash in Dubai in 2003,
416
00:24:22,861 --> 00:24:25,796
there were whisperings
that Mossad was behind that.
417
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:27,226
Were there?
418
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:30,724
If I remember it correctly,
419
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:33,235
the investigation concluded
it was an accident.
420
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:35,737
Iran's top nuclear physicist
was on board.
421
00:24:35,841 --> 00:24:37,365
A happy accident.
422
00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:44,277
Well, hypothetically,
if it weren't an accident,
423
00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:46,846
might you have engineered the means
424
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:50,079
by which pressure
was placed on the tail section,
425
00:24:50,222 --> 00:24:52,417
over-stressing the R-47 jackscrew?
426
00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:56,391
You have quite a knowledge of avionics,
Madam Secretary.
427
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:57,985
So, am I right?
428
00:24:59,965 --> 00:25:02,900
Think of it as reminiscing.
We're just talking hypotheticals.
429
00:25:04,569 --> 00:25:06,799
If you wanted
to over-stress the jackscrew,
430
00:25:06,972 --> 00:25:08,405
you would remove the tail plate
431
00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:11,805
and strip the threads
on the vertical stabilizer nut.
432
00:25:11,943 --> 00:25:13,433
Tail plate. That's removed...
433
00:25:13,578 --> 00:25:15,842
- Removed during fueling.
- Right.
434
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:19,348
And subject
to infrequent inspections for wear.
435
00:25:19,451 --> 00:25:24,855
Once the control starts to slip,
the plane would begin to shake.
436
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:28,050
And the pilot would likely
just report it as turbulence.
437
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:30,559
It would stress the tail section
to the point
438
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:33,825
that even a correctly maintained
jackscrew would fail.
439
00:25:33,965 --> 00:25:36,559
Hypothetically, of course.
440
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:38,766
Was the CIA involved?
441
00:25:40,438 --> 00:25:41,837
You have to ask me?
442
00:25:41,973 --> 00:25:45,409
US had as much skin
in the game as Israel.
443
00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:48,240
Please just tell me
if anyone in the CIA was read into it.
444
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:52,441
I think we have reminisced enough,
Madam Secretary.
445
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:55,219
A pleasure.
446
00:26:01,459 --> 00:26:04,223
The fueling technician,
John Castellano.
447
00:26:04,362 --> 00:26:06,159
He has an honest face.
448
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:08,095
Hidden bank account. Caymans.
449
00:26:08,199 --> 00:26:09,723
As buried as you get.
450
00:26:09,834 --> 00:26:12,325
Well, trust me, you don't wanna know
how I found it,
451
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:14,938
but I'm not at all surprised
the NTSB didn't.
452
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,201
Disgruntled Interpol finance agent?
453
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:19,502
Not telling.
You need plausible deniability.
454
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:21,203
Fine. Any activity?
455
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:24,611
Day before the crash, half a million
dollars showed up in the account.
456
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:27,240
- From where?
- Untraceable.
457
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,978
You think it could be a coincidence?
458
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:31,918
Running drugs through the airport...
459
00:26:32,057 --> 00:26:33,615
Or smuggling, money laundering.
460
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:36,124
No, we're not gonna know
until we break him.
461
00:26:36,227 --> 00:26:38,661
- You think that's a good idea?
- No.
462
00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:43,591
But we're all in now.
463
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:45,430
What makes you think he'd break?
464
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:48,932
The play's the thing.
465
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:54,868
That'd be a hell of a bold move.
Unprecedented.
466
00:26:55,013 --> 00:26:56,742
You sure you wanna go there?
467
00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,613
All in.
468
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:04,517
Bess... it could put
the entire administration at risk.
469
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,784
I don't know who I can trust.
470
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:12,226
Just get him in a room.
I don't care how you do it.
471
00:27:17,836 --> 00:27:20,327
- Hi, Matt.
- Hey, Blake.
472
00:27:22,007 --> 00:27:23,941
What can I do for you?
473
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,510
No, just... just saying hey.
474
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:28,841
- Please don't.
- Sorry.
475
00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:33,809
So, um, uh, what's up with the secretary
476
00:27:33,952 --> 00:27:36,147
canceling on Nauru
and bringing in Israel?
477
00:27:36,254 --> 00:27:38,347
Is this small talk
or do you have an agenda?
478
00:27:38,923 --> 00:27:40,754
- I'm just checking in.
- Please don't.
479
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:43,828
What? We're human beings, you know?
We're social creatures.
480
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:46,559
Now you're making me uncomfortable.
481
00:27:58,643 --> 00:27:59,667
Glenn.
482
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:03,072
- I hope you don't mind me stopping by.
- Not at all.
483
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:07,550
Had a meeting downstairs about
a joint satellite launch with Japan.
484
00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:11,887
Just wanna say thank you
for making nice with Nauru.
485
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:15,517
Well, it's our job, making nice.
486
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:19,528
You're good at it.
The telescope is back on track.
487
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:24,227
And President Yispinza is over the moon
about that state lunch you're planning.
488
00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:25,596
President?
489
00:28:25,737 --> 00:28:28,570
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, and prime minister.
490
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:32,006
And foreign minister
and chairman of the cabinet.
491
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:34,804
Small country. Not enough politicians.
492
00:28:34,946 --> 00:28:37,813
Ah. He wears all the hats.
493
00:28:37,949 --> 00:28:39,610
He also runs a fish-and-tackle shop.
494
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:47,753
Well, we'll be sure we get the protocol
right for all of his positions.
495
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,521
I would love to hear about
how you plan a lunch like that.
496
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:55,155
Uh... perhaps over lunch?
497
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:58,534
Oh.
498
00:28:58,636 --> 00:29:01,901
Um, I-I really can't leave today.
499
00:29:02,006 --> 00:29:04,338
The secretary is
at her daughter's soccer game
500
00:29:04,509 --> 00:29:06,670
and I'm holding down the fort.
501
00:29:06,778 --> 00:29:07,938
Maybe another time.
502
00:29:09,514 --> 00:29:11,106
I hold down the fort a lot.
503
00:29:12,784 --> 00:29:13,944
Of course.
504
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:20,721
I actually ought to go check on my fort.
505
00:29:20,825 --> 00:29:23,350
- Yeah.
- Thanks again.
506
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:25,420
You're welcome.
507
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:40,709
Come on, Wildcats! Come on, Wildcats!
508
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:46,810
Clear it out of there!
509
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,547
Come on!
510
00:29:50,655 --> 00:29:52,850
Yes! That's my daughter!
511
00:29:54,225 --> 00:29:57,422
Thataway! Go!
512
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:01,192
- John Castellano?
- Ms Barnes.
513
00:30:01,332 --> 00:30:02,458
Ah, no. Call me Laura.
514
00:30:03,334 --> 00:30:06,565
Thanks for meeting me here today.
I've had appointments all over town.
515
00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:09,196
It's no problem.
I appreciate the opportunity.
516
00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:12,639
I like your attitude already.
I think the Jandermann Group will too.
517
00:30:12,777 --> 00:30:15,575
Mr Jandermann
likes positive, can-do folks.
518
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,740
From what I understand, he pays better
than my current employer.
519
00:30:18,883 --> 00:30:21,750
- Yeah, if you like that kind of thing.
- Yeah.
520
00:30:21,886 --> 00:30:25,083
So, let's talk fueling.
521
00:30:25,223 --> 00:30:26,747
- OK.
- Yeah.
522
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:33,459
Yes!
523
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,431
Whoa! What? What? No call?
524
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:44,872
- That's a legal play, ma'am.
- Whose side are you on, Fred?
525
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:52,581
Half time! Ten minutes!
526
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:55,084
Good half! Great half!
527
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:01,055
- I wanna go see her.
- OK.
528
00:31:03,928 --> 00:31:07,955
- I can't get over you out there!
- Can you believe that dive stop I made?
529
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:10,933
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,
no. Can you believe?
530
00:31:11,035 --> 00:31:13,333
Fred, did you see that?
Did you see that save?
531
00:31:13,438 --> 00:31:15,531
She was great.
Can you take a secure call?
532
00:31:15,673 --> 00:31:17,231
- Sure.
- I can hang with the team.
533
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:19,570
No, no, no.
I want you to hang with me. Come on.
534
00:31:27,085 --> 00:31:28,985
Hey.
535
00:31:32,090 --> 00:31:33,887
Listen, Noodle, something's come up.
536
00:31:34,025 --> 00:31:38,394
- Don't you need to take that call?
- Actually, no. I need a favor.
537
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:43,998
That's all I have. Do you have
any questions for me, Mr Castellano?
538
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:45,194
Yeah. When do I start?
539
00:31:47,205 --> 00:31:48,467
How about this?
540
00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:51,404
Mr Jandermann is heading back
to Houston tonight,
541
00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:55,570
but I can get him to sit down with you
in his hotel room, if you're free now.
542
00:31:55,713 --> 00:31:57,476
Yeah. Yeah, that's great.
543
00:31:58,383 --> 00:31:59,407
Great.
544
00:32:18,736 --> 00:32:22,536
- I owe you one, Fred.
- This never happened, ma'am.
545
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:30,080
- Fancy place.
- Yeah, Mr Jandermann does alright.
546
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:34,678
- You have a key?
- Yeah.
547
00:32:44,095 --> 00:32:45,187
Have a seat.
548
00:32:46,831 --> 00:32:48,492
So, he's... he's here?
549
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:50,157
Oh, yeah. He'll be right up.
550
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,834
Yeah, something feels off about this.
551
00:33:02,246 --> 00:33:04,407
Sit down, Mr Castellano.
552
00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:08,946
Sit.
553
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:14,855
- Do you know who I am?
- What the hell is...
554
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:17,223
Who am I, Mr Castellano? Say it.
555
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,161
You're... You're...
You're the secretary of state.
556
00:33:23,267 --> 00:33:24,859
That's right.
557
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:28,265
Did you know my predecessor,
Vincent Marsh?
558
00:33:33,144 --> 00:33:35,544
Did you kill
Secretary of State Vincent Marsh?
559
00:33:43,421 --> 00:33:45,218
I'm gonna ask you again.
560
00:33:47,358 --> 00:33:50,259
Did you kill
Secretary of State Vincent Marsh
561
00:33:50,395 --> 00:33:53,193
by sabotaging his C-600 jet?
562
00:33:53,297 --> 00:33:56,164
As you fueled the plane,
you opened the tail plate
563
00:33:56,267 --> 00:33:59,498
and stripped the vertical
stabilizer nut, isn't that right?
564
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:02,840
I see it is.
565
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:06,808
And you received $500,000 for your
trouble in a numbered Cayman account.
566
00:34:06,944 --> 00:34:08,844
I take it that wasn't lottery winnings.
567
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:11,744
I don't know what's happening here.
I don't wanna be here.
568
00:34:11,849 --> 00:34:13,441
You're free to go any time you like.
569
00:34:13,584 --> 00:34:16,018
If you do, we can't guarantee
you won't be grabbed up
570
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:18,247
and thrown in a hole
for the rest of your life.
571
00:34:18,423 --> 00:34:21,051
I don't want that any more than you do.
572
00:34:21,192 --> 00:34:25,060
Now, obviously, somebody put you up
to sabotaging that plane.
573
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:29,256
If you tell me the truth, I can
make sure that you're treated fairly.
574
00:34:30,668 --> 00:34:32,932
- How do I know I can trust you?
- You don't.
575
00:34:34,939 --> 00:34:38,136
But I am the secretary of state
576
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:40,870
and you don't have any better options.
577
00:34:42,346 --> 00:34:43,836
Let me help you, John.
578
00:34:50,555 --> 00:34:53,217
- They said I couldn't talk to anybody.
- Who?
579
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:54,847
I don't know.
580
00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:57,051
Then how did they communicate
with you?
581
00:34:57,195 --> 00:34:58,560
Phone.
582
00:35:00,164 --> 00:35:03,565
I get this call
saying my kid's life's in danger
583
00:35:03,701 --> 00:35:05,191
if I don't do exactly as they say.
584
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,831
And they send me an email...
585
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:16,137
...with a live video link of my daughter
in her preschool playground...
586
00:35:17,515 --> 00:35:20,712
...with one of those laser
red target dots on her forehead.
587
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:24,015
My four-year-old girl.
588
00:35:24,155 --> 00:35:25,645
Male or female voice?
589
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,322
I don't know.
590
00:35:30,394 --> 00:35:34,330
It was one
of those electronically altered voices.
591
00:35:36,033 --> 00:35:40,766
Said I... I don't do exactly
as they say, she's dead.
592
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:46,674
If I called the cops or talked to
anybody, they'd kill my whole family.
593
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,474
When I saw the half mil in the bank,
I knew it was for real.
594
00:35:50,615 --> 00:35:53,812
- Instructions for sabotaging the plane?
- Email.
595
00:35:56,354 --> 00:36:01,656
You know, I'm just a fueler.
I didn't know exactly what it would do.
596
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,891
Not that I didn't have some idea.
597
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:09,492
When I saw that the plane crashed...
598
00:36:11,202 --> 00:36:12,567
What was I supposed to do?
599
00:36:12,737 --> 00:36:15,399
Do you have any other communications
with these people?
600
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:18,976
No. No.
I-I didn't even touch the money.
601
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:21,806
No matter
what the circumstances were,
602
00:36:21,946 --> 00:36:25,382
you were a part of the assassination
of the secretary of state.
603
00:36:26,517 --> 00:36:30,419
Now, if I have you arrested,
it'll tip off whoever hired you.
604
00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:32,855
That's why I'm letting you go.
605
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:36,823
And then as long as you stay quiet
606
00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:42,661
and never speak a word of any of this,
I can protect you.
607
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,358
And I can protect your daughter.
608
00:36:44,468 --> 00:36:46,629
That's the only way.
609
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:48,930
OK.
610
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,338
Ms Barnes will contact you
611
00:36:51,442 --> 00:36:56,277
about getting into your computer
and your emails. You'll cooperate.
612
00:36:57,815 --> 00:37:00,340
- Yes.
- Now go.
613
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:17,728
Now what?
614
00:37:22,373 --> 00:37:25,206
- Special delivery.
- What?
615
00:37:25,343 --> 00:37:27,811
Security sent them up.
From an admirer of yours.
616
00:37:32,516 --> 00:37:34,848
Lose the smirk, Blake,
and get back to your desk.
617
00:37:58,843 --> 00:38:00,401
Ma'am, do you have a minute?
618
00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:03,012
- No, not really.
- It's important.
619
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,552
What's wrong?
620
00:38:13,891 --> 00:38:16,223
Ma'am, I need to come clean.
621
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,955
I kind of spied on Secretary Marsh
for Russell Jackson.
622
00:38:20,097 --> 00:38:21,496
"Kind of?"
623
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:25,193
Marsh was going to run against Dalton
in the next cycle.
624
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:28,028
He never acknowledged it directly,
625
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:31,198
but he had me writing all
of these speeches with policy positions
626
00:38:31,342 --> 00:38:33,640
that were out of whack
with the administration.
627
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:36,645
He said he wanted to have them,
just in case.
628
00:38:36,781 --> 00:38:40,012
- That's a hell of a dilemma, Matt.
- You're telling me.
629
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:43,518
I... I was popping antacids
like Tic Tacs,
630
00:38:43,621 --> 00:38:47,785
wrestling with whether to be loyal
to Marsh or Dalton.
631
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,662
I decided that, ultimately, we all serve
at the pleasure of the president.
632
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:56,758
So, you told Jackson.
How did he take it?
633
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:00,228
How do you think?
634
00:39:00,371 --> 00:39:02,464
Give me a little more poetry
in this section.
635
00:39:02,573 --> 00:39:07,101
- You got it.
- Vincent, we need to talk.
636
00:39:08,212 --> 00:39:09,474
Thanks, Matt.
637
00:39:16,787 --> 00:39:19,017
You're planning to run, aren't you?
638
00:39:19,156 --> 00:39:20,180
Excuse me?
639
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,417
Against Dalton in the next cycle.
640
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,324
Where did you get that?
641
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:26,953
Not denying much?
642
00:39:27,098 --> 00:39:29,328
I'm not dignifying the question.
643
00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:31,993
You know, I tried to convince Dalton
not to go with you,
644
00:39:32,169 --> 00:39:35,536
but the old boys in the party
thought it was your turn.
645
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:40,510
- What do you want?
- I'm just putting you on notice.
646
00:39:41,412 --> 00:39:45,940
You don't back-stab the president of
your own party without consequences.
647
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:55,650
Is that a threat, Russell?
648
00:39:57,595 --> 00:39:58,619
It's a guarantee.
649
00:40:00,965 --> 00:40:05,163
I speak for the president on this.
As you might imagine, he's pretty upset.
650
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:08,238
He'll have no compunction
slitting the throat of someone
651
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:11,967
who has been a staunch ally
and helped get him elected?
652
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:13,976
So it goes.
653
00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:20,076
"So it goes." He said that?
654
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:27,282
Yeah. It was an odd turn of phrase.
It stuck with me. Why does it matter?
655
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,394
And he specifically said
the president was upset?
656
00:40:30,494 --> 00:40:32,792
Yeah. Of course
the president was upset.
657
00:40:32,897 --> 00:40:34,091
You tell anyone else?
658
00:40:34,231 --> 00:40:35,425
No.
659
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:39,369
But when Marsh's plane went down...
660
00:40:40,838 --> 00:40:44,001
...I couldn't help but wonder
if they had something to do with it.
661
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:47,100
I mean, I felt like
a crazy conspiracy theorist.
662
00:40:47,812 --> 00:40:50,303
I was relieved
when the NTSB report came out.
663
00:40:50,481 --> 00:40:54,815
I bet. So, why tell me now?
664
00:40:58,489 --> 00:41:00,889
Because now Jackson
wants me to spy on you.
665
00:41:02,827 --> 00:41:03,851
Really?
666
00:41:03,994 --> 00:41:07,122
Yeah, in exchange for a job
at the White House.
667
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:10,598
I tried to tell him no, but he made me
promise to think about it.
668
00:41:14,638 --> 00:41:15,832
Tell him you'll do it.
669
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,874
What? Why?
670
00:41:19,009 --> 00:41:21,807
Now that I know that he's spying on me,
I can use a double agent.
671
00:41:21,946 --> 00:41:24,210
No, no, no.
I-I don't think that's a good idea.
672
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:29,012
Matt, you've been dishonest.
Think of it as your penance.
673
00:41:37,094 --> 00:41:39,494
The stabilizer's failed.
674
00:41:39,630 --> 00:41:41,461
I cannot keep us in the air.
675
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:46,393
- So it goes.
- Trying to push.
676
00:41:49,373 --> 00:41:50,772
When his plane was going down,
677
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:55,039
Vincent Marsh was thinking
Jackson and Dalton were behind it.
678
00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:58,012
That doesn't mean he was right.
679
00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:02,245
Ambassador Dori didn't deny that
the CIA was involved in the Dubai crash.
680
00:42:02,386 --> 00:42:06,618
If they were, then Dalton knew
how to sabotage a C-600
681
00:42:06,757 --> 00:42:08,657
and get away with it.
682
00:42:08,792 --> 00:42:12,558
Maybe he tapped me because
he didn't think I'd ever suspect him.
683
00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:15,029
Your loyalty is your soft spot?
684
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:19,067
Maybe I'm secretary of state
because he wanted to keep me close,
685
00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:23,264
which would explain Russell making
overtures to Matt about spying on me.
686
00:42:26,010 --> 00:42:29,377
I'm calling the president
of the United States a murderer.
687
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,382
Now is a really good time for you
to start talking me off the ledge.
688
00:42:36,453 --> 00:42:40,355
I'm sorry, babe. I got nothing.
689
00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:44,487
What's my next move?
690
00:42:53,571 --> 00:42:55,163
They need me in the situation room.
691
00:43:10,154 --> 00:43:12,850
Bess, North Korea's acting out again.
692
00:43:13,023 --> 00:43:14,581
Let's catch you up.
693
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:25,500
