KATYAL: Deference to the Executive
cannot possibly justify the injuries
3
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,447
to Mr Mahmoud or the death
of his family members.
4
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,282
If you do not say that this is wrong,
that this is unconstitutional,
5
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,646
there is nothing to prevent
6
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,207
this sort of senseless tragedy
from happening again.
7
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,727
We ask for nothing more
than reform and oversight.
8
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,724
Your ruling is a crucial first step.
Thank you.

00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,207
Thank you, Mr Katyal.
Ms Dunbar.

Mr Chief Justice,
and may it please the court.
11
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,484
The security of
American citizens
12
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,403
is the reason
our drone programme
13
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,482
and other covert
operations exist.
14
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,805
But that security
often comes with a cost.
15
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,331
At this very moment, the President
is at Arlington Cemetery
16
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,767

17
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,964
who perished on a
mountainside in Afghanistan.
18
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,241
They gave their lives
to save others.

DUNBAR: As you are aware, we have
invoked the state secrets privilege
39
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,923
during our request
for dismissal.
40
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,606
But I have authority
from the President
41
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,728
to share some of
the classified brief
42
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,087
in order to reinforce
the government's argument.
43
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,523
Are you certain you wanna
do that, Ms Dunbar?
44
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,924
I am, Mr Chief Justice,
and so is the President.
45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,923
So the government
is publicly admitting
46
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,331
responsibility for the strike?
47
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,606
DUNBAR: It is, Your Honour.
48
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,045
The terrorist successfully
targeted was Zuri Aziz.
49
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,044
He routinely used civilians
as human shields.
50
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,323
Mr Mahmoud's family did not know
Aziz was in the same building.
51
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,924
The drone strike is
responsible for their deaths.
52
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,568
Mr Mahmoud has suffered a
terrible injury and loss.
53
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,166
While the government's
action is tragic,
54
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,890
it wasn't unlawful.
55
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,045
It was legal, it was
necessary, and it was right.
56
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,202
FRANCIS: Heather Dunbar?
She's never run for office.
57
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,685
You don't become
Solicitor General
58
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,091
without being politically savvy.
59
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,811
But it takes more than savvy
to be elected President.
60
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,609
Don't forget, she has
a national profile
61
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,250
after the Walker investigation.
62
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,685
Truth and justice personified.
63
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,808
If the Leadership wants to
redefine the party, she's a...
64
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,689
Yeah, but no one with
this little experience
65
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,922
has ever been a real
contender since Ross Perot,
66
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,331
and at least he had the money.
67
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,643
So does she. Her family
owns Dunbar Armoured Cars.
68
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,083
She could finance her entire
campaign if she needed to.
69
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,168
But what prevents
the abuse of power?
70
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,687
DUNBAR: The Executive can't legislate,
can't receive appropriations,
71
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,410
can't sentence people
to imprisonment.
72
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,204
All of these depend
on the other branches,
73
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:39,408
which keeps
Executive power in check.
74
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,131
But we know for a fact
that in emergencies,
75
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,407
the Executive
will contemplate actions
76
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,723
that do not have clear
legislative authority,
77
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,169
and might be constitutionally
dubious including...
78
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,362
Are you asking about drone
strikes, Your Honour?
79
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,363
Yes, drone strikes.
80
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,444
DUNBAR: The fear of an out-of-control
Executive is exaggerated.
81
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,082
The President has strong electoral
and other political incentives
82
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,764
to act in the public interest.
83
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:18,049
You yourself have investigated the
White House for abuse of power.
84
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,724
It forced a president to resign.
85
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,566
Now you maintain that we should
give our president a wide berth?
86
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,281
I am not here to defend
any one person,
87
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,603
but rather the office
of the Presidency itself.
88
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,727
We must hold everyone in
government accountable to the law.
89
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,850
But we must not manufacture
our interpretation of the law
90
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,531
to erode
constitutional authority.
91
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,162
We can prosecute Presidents
but not the Presidency.
92
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,931
We have to assume
this is happening.
93
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,923
We need to end her
campaign before it begins.
94
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,207
She's clean. Walker vetted
her for Solicitor General,
95
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,964
then again when he made
her Special Prosecutor.
96
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,725
That's one of the things that
makes her so attractive.
97
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,004
- Thank you, Jackie.
- Yes, sir.
98
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,767
Well, if we can't knock her out,
99
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,047
we have to figure
out another way.
100
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,084
It's something, isn't it?
101
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,207
Yes, it is.
102
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,800
Traditionally, the United States
103
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,566
has not supported military
action in the Middle East.
104
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,889
But a neutral UN Peacekeeping
force in the Jordan Valley
105
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,122
is an essential first step to
sustainable, long-term peace.
106
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,963
The United States will vote
"yes." Thank you, Mr President.

to the representative

of the Russian Federation.
109

MORYAKOV: Russia is also committed
to stability in the region.
110
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,530
But inserting the UN into
such a complicated situation
111
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,729
could irrevocably damage
the hopes of real peace.
112
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,570
I strongly encourage
my colleagues
113
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,165

one against, one abstention.
122
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,169
The draft resolution
does not pass
123

It's not radical,

00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,646
To personally apologise.
177
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,090
That's a compassionate
thing to do.
178
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,604
When I listened to your argument,
I also heard something else.
179
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,527
There was a moment when
180
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,331
Justice Jacobs was asking
you about drone strikes.
181
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,044
Yeah, I remember.
182
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,523
And he paused,
for quite a long time.
183
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,724
I think he just lost
his train of thought.
184
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,290
Well... (CLEARS THROAT)
185
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,531
What I'm about to tell you
has to remain between us.
186
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,681
Of course.
187
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,926
Justice Jacobs has Alzheimer's.
188
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,882
He came to me a few
months ago to tell me.
189
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,564
Now, it's in the early stages,
190
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,883
so you wouldn't even notice
unless you know what to look for.
191
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,090
He wants to remain on the Court.
192
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,367
Well, that's what
I wanna discuss.
193
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,485
He wanted to retire.
194
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,961
I asked him to hold on
just a little while longer,
195
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,361
until I could find
a suitable replacement,
196
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,566
and now I have.
197
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,170
And I want that
replacement to be you.
198
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,291
What do you think?
199
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:40,401
I'm humbled, sir.
200
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,691
And honestly surprised
that you'd consider me.
201
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,441
Why is that?
202
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,284
Given our history.
203
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,601
When I said that was water
under the bridge, I meant it.
204
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,921
You have the finest legal
mind in this country,
205
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,088
a deep understanding
of the Constitution,
206
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,447
and the Republicans wouldn't
dare block your nomination.
207
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,683
After all, you prosecuted
a Democratic president.
208
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,127
You're too good
to be Solicitor General.
209
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,124
Let's make sure you
have a job for life.
210
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,522
I appreciate you
saying that, sir.
211
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,402
I'm sorry. This is
a lot to process.
212
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,207
It's important we do this
before the election.
213
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,362
We could end up with
a Republican president.
214
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,123
And I don't want to
suggest your name to Jacobs
215
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,089
unless you truly
want the position.
216
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,049
So, I need to know now.
217
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,731
Yes. It would be
a great honour.
218
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,090
Good. Congratulations.
219
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,204
You speak to your family.
I'll speak to Jacobs.
220
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,089
Thank you, Mr President.
221
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,570
(TYPING QUICKLY)
222
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,126
(EXHALES)
223
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,566
- Did you see this?
- Hmm?
224
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,121
See what?
225
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,246
I just got an alert.
226
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,322
I don't know. I haven't,
uh, seen Jim in a while.
227
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,205
That's weird.
228
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,726
(SIGHS)
229
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,447
I wanna offer you
my sincerest regret.
230
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,806
And I hope that you
will accept my apology.
231
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,685
I'm sorry, but I can't.
232
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,725
I know it should
have come sooner.
233
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,370
There needs to be
more oversight.
234
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,204
Well, there is
congressional oversight.
235
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,170
We have a rigorous system
to prevent collateral damage.
236
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,204
Civilians are listed
as "other militants."
237
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,204
But the government offers
no evidence that's true.
238
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,641
It definitely wasn't in my case.
239
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,810
(SCOFFS) How rigorous
can your process be?
240
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,086
The numbers of
non-combatants
241
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,891
who are being killed by drone strikes
is lower than it's ever been.
242
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,769
Those numbers are false.
243
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,322
One civilian killed in 2010?
That has to be wrong.
244
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,603
Look, I don't think the Pentagon
is being honest about...
245
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,525
(QUIVERING)
246
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,205
Are you okay?
247
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,486
(GASPING)
248
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,891
I'll get the doctor up here.
249
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,364
Don't do that, it'll pass.
250
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,330
It's phantom pain.
251
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,404
(LABOURED BREATHING)
252
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,043
You know what I dreamed
of when I came here?
253
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,571
Choking you with my bare hands.
254
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,801
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
255
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,046
Mr Mahmoud, you may hate me.
256
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,168
You may hate the office I hold.
257
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,322
But here is the reality.
258
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,408
I must make decisions every
day that I hope are just.
259
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,204
I don't know right from wrong
all the time. I wish I did.
260
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,731
But what I can't
be is indecisive.
261
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,367
It says in the Qur'an,
262
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,841
"The taking of one innocent life
263
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,241
"is like the taking
of all mankind."
264
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,410
It also says that
the saving of one life
265
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,931
is like the saving
of all mankind.
266
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,924
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
267
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,048
You didn't ask me
here to apologise.
268
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,728
You asked me here
to forgive you.
269
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,928
I didn't order
the strike that...
270
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,646
I won't forgive you,
Mr President.
271
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,610
I don't wanna make it any easier
for you to sleep at night.
272
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,127
And knowing a few lines of the
Qur'an does not absolve you.
273
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,160
(EXHALES)
274
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,371
I have a duty to this
nation, Mr Mahmoud.
275
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,680
I swore an oath.
276
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,810
There's a fine line
between duty and murder.
277
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,088
Only you have the power to
stop what happened to me.
278
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,010
The next time you wield it,
I hope you'll think twice.
279
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,127
Yes, of course.
280
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,005
Meechum.
281
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,961
Yes, sir?
282
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,610
You show Mr Mahmoud out.
283
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,287
GAVIN: Two months of random
sampling across the country.
284
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,091
Less than a tenth of a percent
of all incoming data.
285
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,207
Why so little?
286
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,009
You have any idea how
many cameras we monitor?
287
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,481
The CPU core quota of every
mainframe in Washington
288
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,090
couldn't handle all that data.
289
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,481
I tried doubling the sample
range, and it set off alarms.
290
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,329
I came this fucking close
to getting caught.
291
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,481
And we just need to
narrow the search, man.
292
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,682
It's too much ground to cover.
293
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,921
How?
294
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,642
I need more information
on Rachel.
295
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,083
Favourite books, fucking
movies, anything.
296
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,887
- I don't know.
- Come on.
297
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,644
Did she ever talk
about going anywhere?
298
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,721
Travelling to someplace?
299
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,928
No. Travelling
wasn't an option.
300
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,206
I need more, man.
301
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,966
What about the
other girl? Lisa.
302
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,644
I'm reading her emails,
I'm tracking her phone,
303
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,085
there's nothing there.
304
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,247
We should get close
to her though,
305
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,845
we should talk to her,
extract something.
306
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:36,967
She might recognise me.
307
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,041
I'll do it.
308
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,368
- That makes me nervous.
- It's social engineering.
309
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,841
I'll just hack her that way.
She won't suspect a thing.
310
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,324
If we don't try something new,
we're not gonna find Rachel.
311
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:56,690
FRANCIS: Help yourself
to some boiled peanuts.
312
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,240
JACOBS: No, thank you.
Too much salt.
313
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,642
First week I was here,
I asked one of the stewards
314
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,006
if I could have
some boiled peanuts.
315
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:04,963
I used to eat them all
the time as a kid,
316
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,320
and I'll be damned
if there hasn't been
317
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,607
a full bowl of peanuts
here every day since.
318
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,371
They must have a pot
boiling round-the-clock.
319
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,847
Ruth has me eating
kale crisps, now.
320
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,129
Says they're good for me.
I can't stand those things.
321
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,401
Well, I have them
shucked in the kitchen,
322
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,323
so you don't have to
get your fingers dirty.
323
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,686
Feel free, live a little.
324
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,291
Mr Justice, since we last spoke,
325
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,566
I've done a lot
of soul-searching.
326
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,446
It was unfair of me to ask
you to stay on the bench.
327
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,481
If you want to retire,
you should.
328
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,041
I appreciate your
consideration, Mr President.
329
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:42,690
Well, I thought the
first thing I should do
330
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,922
is to find a suitable successor.
331
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,890
Someone you would approve of
to put your mind at ease,
332
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,849
and I think I've found one.
333
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,809
Who?
Heather Dunbar.
334
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,528
I think she'd be
an excellent Justice.
335
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,840
I'm glad you agree.
336
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,527
Just an unlikely choice,
given how vociferous she...
337
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,409
Well, with the Walker
investigation, yes,
338
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,051
but that only increases
my estimation of her.
339
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,804
She has a great sense of duty.
340
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,810
More than any Solicitor General
I've ever worked with.
341
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,241
I wish I had known the reason
you invited me beforehand.
342
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,049
I could have saved you
the trouble.
343
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:17,121
Why?
344
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,648
After I talked to you
a couple of months ago,
345
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,848
Ruth said you'd given me a gift.
346
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,043
That I would be miserable
if I weren't on the bench.
347
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,767
She talked to my sons,
and they all agreed.
348
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,684
As long as I'm well enough
to serve the Court,
349
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,000
that's where I wanna be.
350
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,488
And we'll keep an eye on 2016.
351
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,723
If it looks as though
the Republicans will win,
352
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,966
I'll step down.
353
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,884
If not, I'll stay.
But there's no rush.
354
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,484
Must I destroy this man?
355
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,327
Mr President?
356
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,644
No, I won't.
357
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,446
Excuse me?
358
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,206
I won't stand by
359
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,327
and watch you make this mistake.
360
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,249
I've thought this through.
361
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,410
We're not friends, Robert.
362
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960
We don't know
each other that well.
363
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,804
But I care about you,
364
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,123
because you served for more
than 20 years on the bench.
365
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,965
You've established legal precedents
that will outlive both of us.
366
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,284
And maybe you can explain away
yesterday as a senior moment,
367
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,523
but what if another moment happens
that you can't explain away?
368
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,002
What if somehow the news
of your illness leaks?
369
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,209
Then every decision you've written
will be called into question.
370
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,761
They'll be challenged.
371
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,242
And a life's work will be
undone in a heartbeat.
372
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:50,204
Do you have some
ulterior motive here?
373
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,726
Only your best interests.
374
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,251
But why the urgency?
375
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,244
I want to protect you.
376
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,722
Justice, I'm asking you,
I'm pleading with you.
377
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,124
Don't let events get
out of your control.
378
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,725
Will you reconsider?
379
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,088
I appreciate your concern,
Mr President.
380
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,602
Let me speak again to Ruth,
and I'll get back to you.
381
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,130
Thank you, Justice.
382
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:23,566
It's a moratorium.
383
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,801
We're not calling it that.
384
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,843
Call it whatever you
want, nobody's talking.
385
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,684
We're trying to
prevent misinformation.
386
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,603
I'm supposed to
write about AmWorks.
387
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,841
How can I do that when no one
388
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,684
from the Executive Branch
will speak to me?
389
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,683
This thing is shifting under
our feet in Congress.
390
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,125
By the time I finish
the morning brief,
391
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,281
it's already outdated.
392
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:40,362
I'm not asking for a
one-on-one with the President,
393
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,126
but the Secretary of Labour, Treasury,
one of his economic advisers?
394
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,406
Give you special treatment?
395
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,846
I think you issued
the moratorium
396
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,921
because you're
losing the battle.
397
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,889
It's 500 billion dollars.
398
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,247
This is the largest jobs
programme since the New Deal.
399
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,290
Of course it's a slugfest. That
doesn't mean we're losing.
400
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,887
Then let me speak to someone
who can confirm that.
401
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,644
Because all I'm hearing
from the Republicans
402
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,722
is that AmWorks will never
see the light of day.
403
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,040
I sympathise with you, Ayla.
404
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,645
I wish I could give
you what you want.
405
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:06,761
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
406
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,487
President needs us.
407
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,361
So we'll talk later.
408
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,041
MAN: Michael Corrigan.
409
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,571
The activist who
organised the protest
410
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,051
at the state dinner last month.
411
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,169
Arrested by Russian police
three hours ago in Moscow.
412
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,281
The video is going viral.
413
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,124
He's a high-profile
gay rights activist.
414
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,804
Nationally and abroad.
415
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,243
And he's been very vocal in
Russia over the last six weeks.
416
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,049
Here's the Bureau
file on him, sir.
417
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,804
Have we been in touch
with the Kremlin?
418
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,167
CLAIRE: (ON CALL) Secretary
Durant is in Tangiers right now.
419
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,130
I briefed her by phone and
she reached out to Bugayev,
420
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,929
but they have not connected yet.
421
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,526
Ambassador Grimes
is making calls in Moscow,
422
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,449
but nobody's engaging
other than to say
423
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,363
they plan on
fully prosecuting him.
424
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,481
Ambassador, do you think
this could be
425
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,608
in retaliation for what
you're doing at the UN?
426
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,920
It could be.
427
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,931
The Russians are very upset
about this resolution.
428
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,521
I'll see what I can
find out from Moryakov.
429
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,042
Let's hold off on the press
conference until tomorrow.
430
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,122
I'd like to deliver some good
news instead of no news.
431
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,929
In the meantime,
put out a statement
432
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,365
that we're in communication
with Moscow,
433
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,646
and that we're doing
everything we can
434
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,370
to get Mr Corrigan
back to the United States.
435
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,441
Thank you, all.
436
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,601
Personally, I hate the law.
It's medieval.
437
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,848
Homophobic nonsense,
but it's the law.
438
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,081
I don't think it's coincidence
439
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,242
that Corrigan was arrested
after our conversation.
440
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,243
Well, I wouldn't think it
was a coincidence either.
441
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,283
So, what do you hope to achieve?
442
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,283
The same thing as you do,
Mr Corrigan's release.
443
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,050
If I withdraw the resolution?
444
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,805
I think Moscow would certainly
see it as a sign of goodwill.
445
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,483
Well, we don't barter goodwill for
the freedom of American citizens.
446
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,649
I actually advocated for
his immediate deportation.
447
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,768
I agree that tossing him in
jail is counterproductive,
448
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,683
but my superiors are adamant.
449
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,082
Save Petrov from himself.
450
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,604
It's not my place
to question him.
451
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,648
Unlike you, I'm not
married to my boss.
452
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,884
I'll relay the Kremlin's
position to the President.
453
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,041
If we give in, the Jordan
Valley plan is over,
454
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:02,805
and we show the Russians
we can be blackmailed.
455
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,161
So we're just supposed
to let Corrigan rot away?
456
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,447
CLAIRE: I think if we continue
to drive hard at the UN,
457
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,726
we'll gain leverage.
458
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,768
- What does Cathy think?
- She agrees.
459
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,764
I'm gonna take flack every day
that Corrigan remains in jail.
460
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,729
And you'll take more
if you back down.
461
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,410
But it does mean I have to
get in front of the press
462
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,528
with absolutely nothing
of substance to say.
463
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,887
You spent 20 years in Congress.
You're good at that.
464
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,246
(LAUGHS)
465
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,290
It's good to hear you laugh.
466
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:29,283
Get some sleep.
I'll call you tomorrow.
467
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,766
Good night.
468
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,730
REPORTER: Who specifically is communicating
between Washington and Moscow?
469
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,086
FRANCIS: All of our
communication is between
470
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,367
the State Department and the
Russian Foreign Ministry.
471
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,441
Ayla?
472
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,721
In your statement, you persisted
473
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,245
in calling this
a free speech issue.
474
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,607
But isn't gay rights really
at the centre of this?
475
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,490
Well, Mr Corrigan was arrested
for speaking his mind,
476
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,607
and no matter
what his opinions...
477
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,841
Aren't you skirting that,
Mr President,
478
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,888
because your stance
on gay rights is unclear?
479
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,969
What is clear is that Mr
Corrigan's detainment is unjust
480
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,008
and as I said, we're
doing everything we can
481
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:03,804
- to make sure that he can come home.
- Yes, Zachary?
482
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,245
Following up,
isn't dodging gay rights
483
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,971
a calculated move for a man
not running for office?
484
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,483
You think I'm dodging?
485
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,325
Well, then let me be as
clear as I possibly can be.
486
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,209
Gay people have rights.
487
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,964
And this administration
has always believed
488
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,122
that Mr Corrigan has the
right to speak his mind
489
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,851
without fear of being
arrested on any issue,
490
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,809
whether it's gay rights
or something else.
491
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,764
And what is also
quite clear is that
492
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,330
you must have
failed etiquette class.
493
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,161
Yes, Zachary, go ahead.
494
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,083
Why won't you speak to John Pasternak?
Corrigan's husband.
495
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,685
Ms Sayyad, there are other
members of the press here.
496
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,410
Mr Pasternak has been trying
to contact the White House,
497
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,561
and no one will speak with him.
498
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,085
I do apologise,
I have a meeting.
499
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,611
I wish I could have gotten
to all of your questions.
500
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,920
But if you have
any further enquiries,
501
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,207
please direct them to Mr Grayson.
Thank you very much.
502
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,520
I apologise, sir.
503
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,401
You went too far.
504
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,481
I did my job.
505
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,927
There's protocol.
There's basic decorum.
506
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,967
How about this?
507
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,963
You lift the moratorium
for me on AmWorks.
508
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,566
I disappear for five weeks.
Focus on my long-lead piece.
509
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,051
I don't touch Corrigan
or anything else.
510
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,122
You wanted me to chew you out.
511
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,850
If that's what it takes
to get us talking.
512
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,888
Which is why I need
your credential.
513
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,883
- What?
- Your credential.
514
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,721
(CHUCKLES)
515
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,801
You're kidding.
516
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,405
Do you see me laughing?
517
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,811
You don't control my credential.
518
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,484
The Correspondents'

519
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,164
And I just spoke
to Joel Weinmann.
520
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,646
He wouldn't.
521
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,449
You succeeded, Ayla.
522
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,204
I'm lifting the
moratorium for every

00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,884
other member of the press corps.
524
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,204
The price was your credential.
525
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,370
He has no grounds.
526
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,330
You disrespected the
President, the Office,
527
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,880
and most importantly,
your fellow colleagues.
528
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,086
It wasn't a tough sell.
529
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,650
Then this becomes my next story.
530
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,161
Punishing a member of the press, collusion.
Pay for play.
531
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,924
And I'll deny.
532
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,923
And do you think the
head of the Association
533
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,206
is gonna admit anything?
534
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,242
You don't have any friends, Ayla,
on either side of the fence.
535
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,522
The President just made
a statement about free speech.
536
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,841
Now you're gonna start kicking
reporters out of the White House?

No. Just you.

but you can't get rid of
the institution I work for.

tarnish our democracy,

You're too valuable to us.

I can't run for office
as Solicitor General.
586
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,409
Then you should reconsider
running for office.
587
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,806
It's too late for that, I think.
588
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,120
I don't understand, Heather.
589
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,124
I offered you a seat
on the Supreme Court.

If Jacobs was stepping
down, which he isn't.

You spoke to him.

As Solicitor General, I'm
friendly with all the Justices.
593
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,005
I keep those
relationships private,
594

any bias toward me.

But Robert and I are very close.

He and Ruth have me over

So you already knew
about the Alzheimer's?

He told me the day
he was diagnosed.

I've never had anything but
his best interests at heart.
600
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,282
You don't care about Robert.
601
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,881
You wanted to sideline me.
602
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,329
So, you actually think you
have a shot at this office?
603
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,926
Yes, I do. And so
does the Leadership.
604
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,161

your head, Heather,

Womack are telling you.

00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,607
Why should it concern
you, Mr President?

You've announced
that you're not running.
608
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,725
Is this personal for you?

00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,201
Don't flatter yourself.

you couldn't get me.

sure you leave office.

You couldn't win anyway.
613
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,166
I'm running because I know
I'd make a good president.

00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,449
Oh, you might very well
make a good president,

but right now you're
being delusional.

When Birch approached
me, I wasn't sure.

I was tempted, but I
knew it was a long shot.
618
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,570
And when you offered the
nomination, I was overwhelmed.
619
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,325
It's what I've been working
toward my entire career.
620
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,561
But then I spoke to Robert,
621
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,369
and when he told me how
you threatened him,
622
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,885
I knew I had to run.
623
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,084
Someone needs to scrub
the stink from this office.
624
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,366
I didn't threaten him.
625
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,441
What would you call it?
626
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,086

627
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,242
in the same way
I'm trying to save you now.

Once the news of his Alzheimer's
gets out, which it will,
629
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,648
because no matter how much
we all try to lie about it,
630
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,846
it's gonna leak.
631
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,730
Can you imagine what that's
gonna do to his reputation?
632
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,291
He deserves better than that.
633
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,681
And you deserve better
than being an also-ran.
634
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,128
Help me convince him.

Take the seat on the court
where you belong.

00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,682
Is this how you
live with yourself?

By rationalising the obscene
into the palatable.

00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,884

(CELL PHONE RINGS)
695
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,761
Hello?
696
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,649
DOUG: Is this a good
time, Ms Dunbar?
697
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,165
Who is this?
698
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,401
Doug Stamper.
699
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,569
How'd you get this number?
700
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,404
Phone numbers are easy.
701
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,845
What you should be
asking is how I knew
702
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,486
you were meeting with
Senator Giallo tonight.
703
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,930
Look down the hallway.
704
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,763
- Go ahead, I'll meet you down there.
- All right.
705
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,931
Ah, stay where you are.
706
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,885
We wouldn't wanna
be seen together.
707
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,208
Did the President send you?
708
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,570
No. He and I
aren't in touch.
709
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,806
Then why are you here?
710
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,083
You're forming your team-
I wanna be a part of it.
711
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,725
The real reason.
712
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,131
That is the reason.
713
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,807
He sent you.
Don't lie to me.
714
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,565
I've been out of the game
for nine months, Ms Dunbar.
715
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,880
I wanna get back in.
716
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,160
You're forming your team, and I
wanna get in on the ground floor.
717
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,044
The Leadership isn't enough.
718
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,605
You need the rank and file.
719
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,805
Their connections to county
and municipal power brokers.
720
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,170
The chiefs of
a thousand kingdoms
721
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:54,641
in every primary from
Iowa to Super Tuesday.
722
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,968
I worked in the Whip's
office for 10 years.
723
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,168
I have files on
every single member.
724
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,007
What they want,
who they sleep with,
725
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,201
what they eat for lunch.
726
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,485
I can be valuable to you.
727
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,930
How did you know I was
meeting with Giallo tonight?
728
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,122
You rub shoulders
with the Leadership.
729
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,248
I rub shoulders with the
people who work for them.
730
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,331
Think about it, Ms Dunbar.
That's all I ask.
731
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,765
OPERATOR: Going down...
732
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,841
FRANCIS: I made a mistake.
733
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,446
I mean, the way she
spoke to me in the Oval,
734
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,045
I wanted to strangle her.
735
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:40,083
I mean, what is she thinking?
736
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,003
Running against
an incumbent when
737
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,003
I offered her
a seat on the Court...
738
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,526
CLAIRE: She was going to run the
moment Birch whispered in her ear.
739
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,569
Once people imagine
themselves in the Oval,
740
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,721
there's no turning back.
741
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,484
You know that as
well as anybody.
742
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,289
It's my own damn fault.
743
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,725
Shouldn't have given
Jacobs a choice.
744
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,326
She just announced her nomination
before I even asked her.
745
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,890
- Should I come home?
- No.
746
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,841
I just need to think,
I need to clear my head.
747
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,047
Tell me what I can do.
748
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:07,960
(SCOFFS)
749
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,489
Why did I hold back?
750
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,887
Why did I show Jacobs any mercy?
751
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,327
Francis, this doesn't
sound like you.
752
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,560
Put this behind you.
Think about what's next.
753
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,048
It was because of Mahmoud.
754
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,483
I let him get to me.
755
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,683
And all those flags
on those coffins
756
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,003
and those soldiers
who I deployed,
757
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,287
and then I buried
in the ground. It's my...
758
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,806
Stop it. This isn't
doing you any good.
759
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,400
I will talk about this
with you if you want,
760
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,482
but if you're doubting yourself,
I can't indulge that.
761
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,130
No, you're right, of course.
762
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,520
Well, let's talk in the morning.
763
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:49,806
I'm here if you need me.
764
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,046
I know.
765
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:53,966
Good night.
766
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,201
Good night, Francis.
767
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,206
Yes, can you reach out
to Bishop Eddis for me?
768
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,766
I'll hold.
769
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,726
(DOOR OPENS)
770
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,644
Thank you, Meechum. If we
can have some privacy.
771
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:49,801
Yes, sir.
772
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,530
Still riding the Bonneville?
773
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,369
Sold the '67 for a Pipeburn.
Beautiful bike.
774
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,647
You should take me
for a spin sometime.
775
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,963
(CHUCKLES) I don't think so.
They're a death wish.
776
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,241
At least you know you
have a place in heaven.
777
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,729
What's on your mind,
Mr President?
778
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,566
At the burial the other day,
779
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,208
you talked about Abraham and
Isaac, God giving up his only son.
780
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:21,841
Between you and me,
781
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,844
that's the same sermon I
always use at Arlington.
782
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,291
You put enough soldiers
in the ground,
783
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,970
you get tired of
writing new ones.
784
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,650
It was the first
time I had heard it.
785
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,411
Won't be the last.
786
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,726
I want to understand
what justice is.
787
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,205
(CHUCKLES)
788
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,210
That's a big one.
789
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,406
I know.
790
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,525
There's our justice,
the kind men create.
791
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,649
We base it on things like
the Ten Commandments.
792
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,888
But those can be read a
million different ways.
793
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,123
"Thou shalt not kill"
seems pretty clear.
794
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,247
Who's to say?
795
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,527
If we didn't kill, others
would kill instead of us.
796
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,762
There's a lot of
killing in the Bible.
797
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,969
King David was a warrior.
798
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,487
How do you reconcile that with
the laws that God gave Moses?
799
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,927
Even those laws
require interpretation.
800
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,404
There are two laws we have
to remember above all else.
801
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,368
He tells us to love God
and to love each other.
802
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:33,087
You can't love
the people you kill.
803
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,486
You sure as hell can.
804
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:39,130
And you have to love the people
who are trying to kill you.
805
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,084
Jesus loved the Romans.
806
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,165
"Father, forgive them," he said,
807
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:45,924
"for they know
not what they do."
808
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,888
Yeah, well, why didn't he fight?
809
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,725
Why did he allow himself
to be sacrificed?
810
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,521
I ask myself that
question a lot.
811
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,841
I understand the
Old Testament God
812
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,642
whose power is absolute, who
rules through fear, but him...
813
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,404
There's no such thing as
absolute power for us,
814
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,244
except on the receiving end.
815
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,567
Using fear will get you nowhere.
816
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,445
It's not your job to
determine what's just.
817
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,842
It's not your place to choose the
version of God you like best.
818
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,128
It's not your duty to
serve this country alone,
819
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,124
and it better not be your goal
to simply serve yourself.
820
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,641
You serve the Lord. And through
him, you serve others.
821
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,246
Two rules.
822
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:40,520
Love God. Love each other.
Period.
823
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,402
You weren't chosen,
Mr President.
824
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,846
Only he was.
825
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,887
May I have a few moments
for myself, to pray?
826
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,086
It's all yours.
827
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,281
Love?
828
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,050
That's what you're selling?
829
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,043
Well, I don't buy it.

clean this up.
