00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Ripped By mstoll
2
00:00:35,602 --> 00:00:36,864
Ready in 15 seconds.
3
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:40,302
Jason, why don't you turn that off?
Come on, get some breakfast.
4
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,203
- Enough carnage for 7 am.
- Let me save it.
5
00:00:42,308 --> 00:00:46,005
- I'll save it for you.
- Wh... Dad! Come on!
6
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:48,512
Hey, don't act like you got
some big problem with my game.
7
00:00:48,648 --> 00:00:51,776
You play it too. OK. Oh, come on!
8
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:54,649
- Breakfast.
- The discovery of hypocrisy.
9
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:57,723
Bitter moment
in any young revolutionary's life.
10
00:00:57,857 --> 00:01:00,849
Kid's got a point but when he's not
telling me how much I suck at this game,
11
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:02,928
he sometimes tells me
something about his life.
12
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,588
- Right.
- Hey, you OK?
13
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:06,766
Yeah, I'm good.
14
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:10,324
Cos you've been just going non-stop
since you got back from Iran.
15
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:13,668
I'm a little jet lagged still,
but I'm good. I'm fine.
16
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:15,832
Promise.
17
00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:19,609
I'm just saying going back to school
is gonna be a big adjustment
18
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:22,680
after lying around here all day
playing video games.
19
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:25,944
- Yeah, you should know, dropout.
- Ooh, burn!
20
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:27,280
Good comeback, Padawan.
21
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:29,251
If you get kicked out
of two schools in a row,
22
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:31,823
you have to go to military school.
It's, like, the law.
23
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:33,823
- I can handle military school.
- Yeah, right.
24
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,361
- What about home schooling, pal?
- I'll stick with public school.
25
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:39,796
Just think, you and me
studying all these great books,
26
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:42,265
spending hours having
philosophical discussions.
27
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:43,835
- Shoot me now.
- Jason.
28
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:45,995
What did I say?
29
00:01:47,841 --> 00:01:50,435
I'm glad that you're on board
with public school
30
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:52,841
because that is where you're going.
31
00:01:53,012 --> 00:01:56,038
Oh, we have that orientation meeting
at 11, OK?
32
00:01:56,182 --> 00:01:58,207
I know.
I cleared my schedule out this morning.
33
00:01:58,318 --> 00:02:01,412
- You want to take the time off?
- I can't. I've got meetings.
34
00:02:01,521 --> 00:02:04,820
Then I've got meetings
after those meetings so I gotta go.
35
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,357
- Bye, guys.
- Bye, Mom.
36
00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:07,858
- Love you.
- Bye, Mom. Love you.
37
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:09,018
Ow!
38
00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:11,392
- Nice sensitivity, dumbass!
- Cut it out, both of you.
39
00:02:11,564 --> 00:02:15,261
The desk officer is waiting to brief you
on your first meeting.
40
00:02:15,435 --> 00:02:16,925
- Ecuador?
- Yes, ma'am.
41
00:02:17,036 --> 00:02:21,336
And Matt and Daisy are here
to have a word with you this morning.
42
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:22,567
Yes, I'm getting that.
43
00:02:22,675 --> 00:02:24,870
Ma'am, we need to prep you
for Face the Nation.
44
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:26,808
Can't.
I got a thing at my son's school.
45
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:29,346
You've been at the center
of everything that's happened.
46
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:32,577
Unearthing Director Munsey's plot,
thwarting the coup in Iran.
47
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,448
The White House
wants you front and center
48
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:36,646
to reassure the public
that everything is OK.
49
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:38,416
Is it? News to me.
50
00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:42,221
The point is, ma'am, I mean, if there's
a hero in this story, it's you.
51
00:02:42,362 --> 00:02:45,195
What did you just say?
Because what I thought you said
52
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:47,789
is that I'm the hero of this story?
53
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:49,027
Excuse me, ma'am.
54
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:50,796
- Daisy didn't mean...
- Excuse me.
55
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:55,841
See, what's confusing is how you could
possibly say something like that
56
00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:59,172
just days after you attended
Fred Cole's funeral.
57
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:03,841
The man who literally threw himself
in front of bullets to save me
58
00:03:03,983 --> 00:03:06,816
which is the very definition of heroism.
59
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:10,548
You come at me with
this win-the-cycle crap again,
60
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:13,717
it'll be the last time you do.
You understand?
61
00:03:14,961 --> 00:03:16,258
Yes, ma'am.
62
00:03:18,831 --> 00:03:21,425
Why is there a nurse in my waiting area?
63
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:25,629
Oh, she's here to follow up
on the exam you received at Landstuhl.
64
00:03:25,805 --> 00:03:28,774
You kept rescheduling, so I had someone
from Walter Reed sent over.
65
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:31,605
I had said I would go to my own doctor
when I had the time.
66
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:33,439
They needed a follow-up ASAP, ma'am.
67
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:35,445
It's literally doctor's orders.
68
00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:37,014
Et tu, Blake?
69
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,743
You're healing well, Madam Secretary.
70
00:03:39,852 --> 00:03:42,377
Stitches should be ready to come out
in a few days.
71
00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:43,886
Fantastic.
72
00:03:44,023 --> 00:03:47,151
- Are you having any pain, ma'am?
- No. None.
73
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:49,160
Then I just need to draw your blood.
74
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:54,699
I'm on a tight schedule.
I hope you don't mind if I multi-task.
75
00:03:56,202 --> 00:04:00,866
So what does the CEO of one of
America's biggest oil companies
76
00:04:01,007 --> 00:04:03,202
want from a peon
like the secretary of state?
77
00:04:03,343 --> 00:04:06,005
Chip Harding is here because he believes
you should be doing more
78
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:08,705
to help Ashmont Petroleum
secure drilling rights in Ecuador
79
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:10,247
as opposed to the Chinese.
80
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:13,614
But the proposed area of the Amazon
is highly sensitive,
81
00:04:13,786 --> 00:04:16,778
which is what our desk officer
from the region is here to discuss.
82
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:19,756
It's Laura, right?
83
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:23,625
Yes, ma'am. Let me first say how
thrilled I am to finally meet you in...
84
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:26,458
...person.
85
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,999
Uh... You OK there, Laura?
86
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:34,038
Yeah. Just have a little thing
about... blood. Um...
87
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:36,004
Very sorry but I'm fine.
88
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:39,843
Quite alright.
Why don't we just get right to it then?
89
00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:42,277
Yes, ma'am. As you may have read
in your briefing book,
90
00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:43,973
the Selva region of eastern Ecuador
91
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:47,347
is one of the most bio-diverse areas
of the Amazon and indeed the world.
92
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:51,184
Home to, count them, ten primate
species, including the rare titi monkey.
93
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:53,190
There's an image for you.
94
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:56,194
Developing it would be
extremely damaging to the local...
95
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:58,828
But also...
96
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:04,435
But also it is important to remember
97
00:05:04,604 --> 00:05:07,573
that the Amazon
is the world's carbon sink
98
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:11,108
where much of the CO2 we produce
is absorbed by the trees of...
99
00:05:13,713 --> 00:05:16,409
Sorry. Excuse me, ma'am.
100
00:05:16,549 --> 00:05:17,447
OK.
101
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:19,551
Hope she makes it
to the porcelain sink in time.
102
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,620
Why don't you and go see if she's OK?
103
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:25,715
Right, the point being
if a tract this big is developed,
104
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:28,589
it will speed up
the deforestation process
105
00:05:28,728 --> 00:05:30,252
which will ultimately lead to what?
106
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:32,193
Ocean acidification, species die-offs,
107
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:34,391
larger and more unpredictable
weather events,
108
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:36,661
increased climate-driven conflicts
and refugees.
109
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:39,202
Your typical
21st-century end-of-the-world buffet.
110
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:40,397
Got it.
111
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:42,007
Sorry! False alarm.
112
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:45,872
Ma'am, there are more tree species
in a single hectare of the Selva region
113
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,240
than in all of North America.
114
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:50,872
If there's a cure for cancer or HIV,
we will probably find it there.
115
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:54,783
Counterpoint. Chip Harding donates
millions of dollars each election cycle
116
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:57,219
which will either be used
for or against your president.
117
00:05:57,390 --> 00:06:00,757
Just something to weigh against
the sad monkeys and magic trees.
118
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,226
And it is part of our job
to promote US businesses abroad,
119
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:05,695
but if we want a voice in the decision,
we need to act now.
120
00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:09,290
The Ecuadorians are planning whether
to develop the Selva within a month.
121
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:10,835
Oh, plenty of time.
122
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:13,996
Alright, why don't we go see
what we can do for Mr Harding?
123
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:22,013
Darn!
124
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:23,843
- Have fun.
- I got it.
125
00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:25,746
OK. What are you even doing here?
126
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:28,412
I'm attending your meeting with Chip...
Chip Harding, ma'am.
127
00:06:28,554 --> 00:06:30,385
Isn't Abby about to go into labor
any second?
128
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:32,354
- Literally any second.
- So go, go.
129
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:34,153
I can handle Harding by myself.
130
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:36,455
If I need more information,
I'll get it from Laura...
131
00:06:36,596 --> 00:06:38,587
Brilliant.
She wanted to make an impression.
132
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:40,756
Oh, she did. It's all set.
Go. Right now.
133
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:44,769
OK. There you go.
Tell Abby to get the epidural early!
134
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:46,668
- You got it!
- Key word. Early.
135
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:51,606
Madam Secretary,
I'm busy and I'm sure you are too,
136
00:06:51,744 --> 00:06:53,336
so I'll get straight to the point.
137
00:06:53,446 --> 00:06:57,212
I would love it if the government
would just get out of our way.
138
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:58,977
Or better yet, help us out for once.
139
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,575
There's a concept.
140
00:07:00,686 --> 00:07:04,520
What is it that you feel isn't being
done for the oil industry, Mr Harding?
141
00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:06,558
The SEC and Justice
are breathing down our neck
142
00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:08,523
about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
143
00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:11,527
They do take a dim view
of bribing foreign officials, yes.
144
00:07:11,697 --> 00:07:12,891
Come on, you know full well
145
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:15,695
that that's the way business gets done
in places like Ecuador.
146
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,099
And let me tell you something.
147
00:07:17,203 --> 00:07:19,899
The Chinese aren't wringing their hands
about doing business.
148
00:07:20,006 --> 00:07:21,997
Given that I can't help you
bribe anybody,
149
00:07:22,141 --> 00:07:24,439
what exactly would you like
the State Department to do?
150
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:27,569
Offer them aid.
Help in developing vital infrastructure.
151
00:07:27,713 --> 00:07:31,774
We do give them aid.
$218 million last year to be exact,
152
00:07:31,918 --> 00:07:35,183
but it does come with anti-corruption
safeguards built in.
153
00:07:35,321 --> 00:07:38,518
So sorry if that's not helping you
grease the wheels.
154
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:42,390
Look, the Selva's too valuable not to be
developed. That's just the facts.
155
00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:45,588
Who do you and the president prefer
to see do it? Us or the Chinese?
156
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:48,996
I guarantee you we care very deeply
about what happens in the Selva region
157
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,160
and I will bear your concerns in mind
158
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:53,431
when I meet
with the Ecuadorian ambassador.
159
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:55,438
Thank you so much for coming in.
160
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,216
A great game is afoot, Madam Secretary,
161
00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:08,820
and we can't win it
with one hand tied behind our back.
162
00:08:08,955 --> 00:08:13,358
I hope the president understands that.
Thank you for your time.
163
00:08:14,193 --> 00:08:15,319
You bet.
164
00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:17,590
Everyone OK?
165
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:21,097
Well, it's not like
we have hurt feelies.
166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,792
Although that was quite an outburst.
167
00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:24,527
I understand she's been through a lot
168
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:27,231
but the fact is
she needs to prep for Face the Nation.
169
00:08:27,373 --> 00:08:29,898
I'll block out some time
in her schedule for this afternoon.
170
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:31,636
We're not being overly dramatic.
171
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:35,770
Rogue CIA director starts a coup in Iran
under the White House's nose?
172
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:38,975
The only reason it fails is because
she puts herself in the line of fire.
173
00:08:39,118 --> 00:08:41,211
- That's a huge story.
- Huge.
174
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,787
- I'm aware.
- And so is the public.
175
00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:45,390
But they haven't seen her
since the funerals three days ago.
176
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:47,492
The longer they don't,
the more she'll be pulled
177
00:08:47,593 --> 00:08:49,356
into the morass of suspicion and blame.
178
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:52,157
She needs to tell her story
and she can't just wing it.
179
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:56,627
As it says in your packet,
drop-off is between and 7:30 and 7:50
180
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:58,669
but there can be a bit of a line
sometimes
181
00:08:58,804 --> 00:09:00,237
so it's worth getting here early.
182
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:01,931
Maybe if we had a different kid.
183
00:09:02,942 --> 00:09:05,672
Well, that covers it.
Welcome to Monroe Junior High.
184
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,772
I'd like to revisit the security issue,
if I may.
185
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:12,110
Of course.
186
00:09:12,985 --> 00:09:16,477
As I mentioned, student safety
is our number-one priority.
187
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:20,491
We have two full-time security officers,
metal detectors at every entrance,
188
00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:23,619
and a zero-tolerance policy
on weapons and bullying.
189
00:09:23,763 --> 00:09:25,697
Jason will be in good hands here,
Mrs McCord.
190
00:09:25,798 --> 00:09:28,562
- I'm sure he will be.
- The thing is, I'm not.
191
00:09:28,701 --> 00:09:31,192
I'd like to provide Jason
with a security detail.
192
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:32,964
Wait. What?
193
00:09:33,105 --> 00:09:34,800
Nothing obtrusive, just one man.
194
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:38,399
Given who I am and what I do,
I feel that it's necessary.
195
00:09:38,544 --> 00:09:41,206
- Will you excuse us for one minute?
- Absolutely.
196
00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:43,572
Do you want to tell me what's going on?
197
00:09:43,716 --> 00:09:46,651
Just what I said!
I think Jason needs extra security.
198
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:49,846
The threat assessment guys at
Diplomatic Security don't think he does.
199
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:51,115
I'm their boss.
200
00:09:51,223 --> 00:09:53,316
Not when it comes to assigning
a security detail.
201
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:56,827
Besides, you said you wanted Jason
to have as normal a school experience
202
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,123
as possible, as did I. We settled this.
203
00:09:59,231 --> 00:10:02,223
I am fourth in line for the presidency
of the United States.
204
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:06,031
- He doesn't get to be a normal child.
- OK.
205
00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:07,969
- Is this about what happened in Iran?
- No.
206
00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:10,167
Because if you want to talk to me
then...
207
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:11,937
Why can't you just back me up on this?
208
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:21,581
OK.
209
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:26,651
I'll tell you what.
I will call Diplomatic Security
210
00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:29,955
and have them send me over
a couple of candidates. How's that?
211
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:33,256
Thank you.
212
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,596
I have to get back to work,
so I'll see you tonight.
213
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:02,359
- Professor McCord?
- I'm thinking you're the bodyguard.
214
00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:06,530
- Call me Henry. Come on in.
- Kevin Boyd.
215
00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:12,864
You've got quite a résumé.
Six years doing security at State.
216
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,439
Before that
ten years as a recon marine. Oorah.
217
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:19,237
Yes, sir. Forcecon,
2nd Division out of Lejeune.
218
00:11:19,378 --> 00:11:20,640
You serve in the Corps?
219
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,146
Third MAW out of Miramar.
I flew Hornets in Desert Storm.
220
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:25,080
- You know, the original.
- Oorah, sir.
221
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,276
I did a couple of tours
in the sequel myself.
222
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:30,048
But the question is, has all
your extensive combat experience
223
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:32,248
prepared you to take
a 13-year-old to school?
224
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:35,292
Let's just say no one
will be taking Jason's milk money.
225
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:37,396
I'm gonna be honest with you.
226
00:11:37,496 --> 00:11:39,760
This is really less about
an actual security threat
227
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:41,958
and more about an abundance of caution.
228
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:43,660
Peace of mind. Copy that, sir.
229
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:48,038
Let me ask you something.
230
00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:50,267
You saw a lot of action
so I'm sure you know guys
231
00:11:50,443 --> 00:11:52,377
that came back with issues, yeah?
232
00:11:52,478 --> 00:11:53,877
- PTSD?
- Yeah.
233
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:56,004
In your experience,
how did that manifest?
234
00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:59,015
Well, due respect, sir,
235
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:01,949
with your experience, you must have seen
a fair share yourself.
236
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:04,579
My buddies and I were
dropping ordinance from 30,000 feet.
237
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,589
Now that's a thing,
but it ain't Fallujah.
238
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:09,160
I'm just curious how it looked to you.
239
00:12:09,261 --> 00:12:13,027
Well, a lot of guys don't sleep,
temper's on a hair trigger,
240
00:12:13,165 --> 00:12:17,226
usually they're having flashbacks,
they're hyper-vigilant.
241
00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:20,361
I got a buddy can't drive anymore.
242
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,408
Thinks every piece of trash he sees
lying in the gutter is hiding an IED.
243
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:26,773
There's not much you can do
besides be there for them.
244
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:31,441
You can try to get them help but they're
not gonna talk until they're ready so...
245
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:34,382
But just so we're crystal clear here,
sir, I don't have...
246
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:37,422
Oh, I trust you. Hey, listen,
the job is yours if you want it.
247
00:12:37,556 --> 00:12:41,492
I'm just concerned
you're a little too inconspicuous.
248
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:44,095
That's usually the deal breaker.
249
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:47,063
I am meeting the Ecuadorian
ambassador in five minutes.
250
00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:49,759
- What don't I know?
- International conservation groups
251
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:52,871
have a plan that would pay Ecuador
to turn the entire Selva region
252
00:12:53,005 --> 00:12:54,438
into a protected preserve.
253
00:12:54,573 --> 00:13:00,409
So essentially they would bribe Ecuador
not to despoil its own rainforest?
254
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:01,844
That's the idea, ma'am, yes.
255
00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:05,041
And the Ecuadorians have actually
been receptive to the plan.
256
00:13:05,184 --> 00:13:09,143
Well, who doesn't like a bribe?
OK, but...
257
00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:11,723
So far no one's been inclined
to kick in the start-up costs
258
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:13,223
which are in the low billions.
259
00:13:13,392 --> 00:13:16,725
Especially when the potential oil
revenues could be a hundred times that.
260
00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:18,160
So what are you pitching me?
261
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:22,560
You want us
to do nothing with the Selva?
262
00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:25,603
Not nothing, Ambassador Calderon.
I'm suggesting you move forward
263
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:28,172
with the plan to turn it
into a protected preserve.
264
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:32,335
Please! Your current Congress
would never allot such a large sum
265
00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:34,776
for rainforest conservation.
266
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:37,973
Maybe coca eradication
but let's ask our neighbors,
267
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:40,643
the Colombians, how that's
working out for the environment.
268
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:44,483
I know it's a stretch and obviously
there are some trust issues.
269
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:45,851
To put it mildly.
270
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:50,189
We're still cleaning up oil spills
American companies caused in the 1970s.
271
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:52,787
But if I could get the money,
which I am working on right now,
272
00:13:52,898 --> 00:13:54,297
would your government consider
273
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,230
preserving the entirety
of the Selva region?
274
00:13:59,438 --> 00:14:02,430
If you could match
the Chinese offer, perhaps.
275
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:08,906
But you can't. And certainly
not within a plausible time frame.
276
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:12,449
So, and with all due respect,
Madam Secretary,
277
00:14:12,585 --> 00:14:14,018
we stick with the Chinese.
278
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:16,721
They're not your friends, you know.
279
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:20,818
But then they don't pretend to be.
280
00:14:22,394 --> 00:14:27,195
Madam Secretary,
welcome to Face the Nation.
281
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:29,130
Thank you, pretend Bob Schieffer.
282
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:32,796
Matt, not so much with the voice.
283
00:14:32,938 --> 00:14:35,031
Oh, but he's so sadly proud of it.
284
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,941
Fine. Your loss.
285
00:14:38,978 --> 00:14:42,414
Madam Secretary,
recent events paint a troubling picture
286
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:44,038
of the Dalton administration.
287
00:14:44,183 --> 00:14:48,449
Should America be worried
about this president's leadership?
288
00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:52,045
Not at all.
Andrew Munsey was a very capable spy.
289
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:55,853
He managed to hide his traitorous acts
for quite some time.
290
00:14:56,028 --> 00:14:59,964
But the moment the president
learned of them, he leapt into action
291
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:03,899
and saved the nation and the world
from a dangerous fate.
292
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:06,437
Well, some would argue
that you did that,
293
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:09,632
first by uncovering the conspiracy
294
00:15:09,775 --> 00:15:13,404
and second by
your unprecedented trip to Iran.
295
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,444
Come on, he's not gonna ask that.
296
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:19,710
Oh well, it's a fair interpretation
of the facts, ma'am.
297
00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:23,019
Uh, fine.
298
00:15:27,192 --> 00:15:29,956
While I was glad to do my part,
299
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:32,257
the fact that we are now
on the other side
300
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:35,526
of a constitutional and global crisis
301
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:38,933
is a testament to our president's
courageous leadership.
302
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:41,831
Madam Secretary, you were present
303
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:47,035
when Iranian foreign minister Javani
was killed along with several others.
304
00:15:47,179 --> 00:15:48,646
Yeah. Yes, I was.
305
00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:51,943
Tell me about that horrifying scene.
306
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:54,849
Who was there with you
and what happened?
307
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:07,422
Get down!
308
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:11,797
Abdul!
309
00:16:15,441 --> 00:16:18,808
Down! Abdul, stay down!
310
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:22,773
Ma'am?
311
00:16:24,350 --> 00:16:25,374
Ma'am?
312
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,650
You want to give me that again?
313
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:33,849
- Sure.
- You know what?
314
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,187
Why don't we take a break?
315
00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:38,825
- OK?
- Yeah.
316
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:44,994
- What the hell was that?
- It's five seconds of dead air.
317
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:48,265
Well, arguably, that was
a little more than that, Daisy.
318
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:52,241
I understand that, but whatever it was
319
00:16:52,411 --> 00:16:54,606
it wasn't exactly the image
of calm stability
320
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:57,215
- the White House is looking to project.
- We should cancel.
321
00:16:57,383 --> 00:16:59,874
We can't risk her having
an incident like that on television.
322
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,486
You want to tell her that?
323
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:04,214
Call the show, make her appearance
subject to availability.
324
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:06,324
We'll take another run at this tomorrow.
325
00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:10,122
If she's still tentative, we've laid
the groundwork for a postponement.
326
00:17:10,229 --> 00:17:11,753
- Got it.
- OK.
327
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:18,737
Stay down! Abdul, stay down!
328
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:31,612
Jason, this is about your safety.
329
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,741
Then I'll be safe at home
because I'm not going.
330
00:17:33,852 --> 00:17:35,581
You guys can't just spring this on me.
331
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:38,622
You said I'd be a normal kid
at a normal school. This isn't fair!
332
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:41,021
Yet this is happening
so get your stuff and get on board.
333
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:43,661
- Can we have a couple of minutes?
- Of course.
334
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,028
Jason, grab your stuff.
335
00:17:49,168 --> 00:17:50,726
- No, I'm not...
- Just do it, son.
336
00:17:56,475 --> 00:17:58,170
- I love you.
- Uh-huh.
337
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:06,644
- Well, he's right, babe. It isn't fair.
- Well, life isn't fair.
338
00:18:06,819 --> 00:18:08,514
- In this house, it is.
- I knew it.
339
00:18:08,687 --> 00:18:10,314
I knew you would make me the bad guy.
340
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:14,222
And then you had to pick,
like, the biggest guy on the planet
341
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,418
just to push all of Jason's buttons.
342
00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:18,928
OK, look, I know
that you have been through a lot
343
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:21,625
- and you don't want to talk about it.
- Don't psychoanalyze me.
344
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:24,361
Maybe that's behind your obsession
with Jason's security.
345
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:27,336
- And don't condescend to me!
- We don't talk to each other that way.
346
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:30,931
If you'd seen what I've seen, you would
want him to have protection too, OK?
347
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,544
He doesn't need it.
So we either keep our word
348
00:18:33,645 --> 00:18:36,045
and let him go to school
without security or he stays home.
349
00:18:36,181 --> 00:18:38,411
OK, so it's OK
for you not to fight fair.
350
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:39,949
Is that how we do it now? Is that it?
351
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:41,952
Yeah. We're not gonna let your issues...
352
00:18:42,054 --> 00:18:44,545
- My issues?
...force Jason to be treated unfairly.
353
00:18:44,656 --> 00:18:47,022
- What are my issues?
- Are you ready to talk?
354
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:51,159
Let's talk.
355
00:18:53,398 --> 00:18:57,562
Fine. I don't have time for this.
You win. OK?
356
00:19:01,573 --> 00:19:06,306
And the Italian embassy wants
to honor you with a dinner on the 24th.
357
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:08,606
Well, it's worth saying yes
just for the food.
358
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:11,978
What's this subject-to-availability BS
I'm hearing?
359
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,277
Russell Jackson, ma'am.
360
00:19:13,385 --> 00:19:16,320
Thanks for the heads-up, Blake.
Which BS is that, Russell?
361
00:19:16,421 --> 00:19:19,083
Face the Nation.
You put a pin in your appearance.
362
00:19:19,191 --> 00:19:21,386
I was wondering why.
363
00:19:21,527 --> 00:19:26,931
Well, since this is the first time
I'm hearing about it, so would I.
364
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:30,399
I thought it would be better
to leave some flexibility there, ma'am.
365
00:19:30,536 --> 00:19:31,696
Why?
366
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:35,295
Hey, you don't get
to interrogate my staff, Russell.
367
00:19:35,407 --> 00:19:37,602
But I think
they're just trying to protect me.
368
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:41,737
In prep yesterday I was still a little
jet lagged, but I'll be fine on the day.
369
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,247
And just to be clear,
I'm doing the show.
370
00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:47,408
- Yes, ma'am.
- Wonderful.
371
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:49,919
You have a second
to talk about Ecuador with me?
372
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,752
Sure. Laura, will you join us, please?
373
00:19:53,792 --> 00:19:56,226
I also hear we're handing over
one of the biggest oilfields
374
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:58,659
in the hemisphere to the Chinese?
375
00:19:58,797 --> 00:20:01,766
Got a testy phone call
from Chip Harding, did we?
376
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:03,858
Is there any other kind?
377
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:07,062
You know the president is committed
to weaning us off Middle Eastern oil.
378
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:09,640
He's also committed
to preserving the Amazon.
379
00:20:09,775 --> 00:20:13,211
Which is why we are signatories to RACTO
or whatever the hell that is.
380
00:20:13,345 --> 00:20:16,280
Rainforests of the Americas
Conservation Treaty Organization, sir.
381
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:20,613
You're the fainter, aren't you?
382
00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:22,777
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
383
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:25,982
It's just that nothing funny
ever happens in this town.
384
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:27,988
Don't worry. You'll bounce back.
385
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:30,459
Look, for a few billion dollars,
386
00:20:30,596 --> 00:20:34,362
we can save one of the most
ecologically important areas on earth.
387
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:36,957
If you've got a few billion dollars
lying around, go for it,
388
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,468
because Congress won't.
389
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:41,505
And at least Ashmont Petroleum
would be bound by the treaty
390
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,835
- to develop the oilfield as...
- Come on!
391
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:46,604
We're not seriously
falling back on the mighty RACTO?
392
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:49,875
...as non-invasively as possible.
Isn't that correct?
393
00:20:50,048 --> 00:20:51,242
Theoretically, sir.
394
00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:53,078
Which is more than the Chinese can say.
395
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:55,083
Look, I'm all for saving the planet
396
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:58,087
but the bottom line is,
if we can't get our company in,
397
00:20:58,223 --> 00:21:00,384
we should at least
keep the Chinese one out.
398
00:21:00,492 --> 00:21:03,188
These are independent countries.
I don't have many cards to play.
399
00:21:03,328 --> 00:21:04,727
So find more cards.
400
00:21:06,632 --> 00:21:09,533
- Thank you, Laura.
- Yes, ma'am.
401
00:21:11,136 --> 00:21:13,832
And technically, sir, I vomited.
A little.
402
00:21:17,809 --> 00:21:18,867
Good to know.
403
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:23,008
Look, Bess, this coup business
404
00:21:23,181 --> 00:21:25,945
is the worst body blow
to the presidency since Watergate.
405
00:21:26,084 --> 00:21:28,848
The public needs to know their
government hasn't slid off a cliff,
406
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:32,047
which means you need
to go on Face the Nation.
407
00:21:33,258 --> 00:21:34,486
So...
408
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:37,160
You up for the damn show or not?
409
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,291
Absolutely.
410
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:50,000
Do you have any ideas
about what I might do
411
00:21:50,108 --> 00:21:51,837
or are the taxpayers just shelling out
412
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:53,842
for another one of Gordon's
expensive walks?
413
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:57,073
Saving a little piece of the Amazon
probably won't matter in the end anyway.
414
00:21:57,215 --> 00:22:00,013
Best to win Dalton some goodwill
with Chip Harding.
415
00:22:00,118 --> 00:22:03,645
How? By getting Justice off his back
so he can go back to Ecuador
416
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:06,724
and bribe his way into winning the bid?
417
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:10,454
Yes. But just in case
I'm ever deposed, no.
418
00:22:10,595 --> 00:22:12,119
I'm not doing that.
419
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:14,824
Besides, you literally
just called him a pompous tool.
420
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,594
He really is.
Even other pompous tool CEOs hate him.
421
00:22:17,736 --> 00:22:18,964
Like my friend Owen Walton.
422
00:22:19,071 --> 00:22:21,972
Pompous tools run the world. You might
as well get on their good side.
423
00:22:22,074 --> 00:22:25,009
And hope that the tiny sliver
of the Amazon that's left
424
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:26,770
is protected by RACTO?
425
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:29,574
The T, by the way, stands for toothless.
426
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:30,942
There you go.
427
00:22:31,049 --> 00:22:34,815
How can the Chinese purport to be
a responsible actor in the Amazon
428
00:22:34,953 --> 00:22:38,946
when they're not even a party to
the treaty charged with its protection?
429
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,184
I was being you there.
430
00:22:41,293 --> 00:22:44,854
So tie up China by officially
protesting their non-membership?
431
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:47,294
RACTO may be toothless
but Ecuador is a signatory.
432
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:49,457
China would be forced to respond.
433
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:53,367
Whew. Talk about poking the bear.
434
00:22:53,472 --> 00:22:55,702
The White House wants to keep them
out of our backyard.
435
00:22:55,841 --> 00:22:58,901
It would take China at least a year
to unstick themselves from the red tape,
436
00:22:59,077 --> 00:23:01,204
- during which time...
- The Selva isn't developed.
437
00:23:01,313 --> 00:23:03,907
Ashmont Petroleum gets its ducks
in a row and wins the contract.
438
00:23:04,015 --> 00:23:05,710
So both the earth and America win.
439
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:08,442
Until America actually wins.
440
00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:26,631
It's late.
441
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,806
I didn't even hear you come in.
442
00:23:29,941 --> 00:23:31,772
Just winding down.
443
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:35,770
By playing a video game
you've never shown any interest in
444
00:23:35,881 --> 00:23:36,973
at 3:30 in the morning?
445
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:38,173
Yep.
446
00:23:39,684 --> 00:23:41,549
OK, babe, your Titan is ready.
447
00:23:41,653 --> 00:23:44,383
See? Here, press this button,
get your Titan.
448
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:48,824
You play this game
way more than you cop to.
449
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,655
Possibly true.
450
00:23:50,829 --> 00:23:53,161
Transferring control to pilot.
451
00:23:54,032 --> 00:23:58,230
- Sorry I was such a bitch before.
- It's OK.
452
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:05,573
- How was Jason's first day?
- It was fine. Everything's fine.
453
00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,706
No, it isn't.
454
00:24:13,518 --> 00:24:16,646
Minister Chen is waiting for you.
455
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:20,622
Took a detour from his White House visit
to let us know how pissed he is
456
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,388
about our little Ecuador maneuver?
I'm guessing.
457
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:26,156
Well, that would be a safe guess.
458
00:24:26,264 --> 00:24:30,360
Ma'am, pardon me,
but... you look a little tired.
459
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:32,869
Thanks, Nadine.
460
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:36,667
- No, really. Are you sleeping alright?
- Like a baby.
461
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:40,244
Congratulations again, Jay.
She's gorgeous. Here's the secretary.
462
00:24:40,378 --> 00:24:43,176
- Abby had the baby. A little girl.
- Oh!
463
00:24:43,281 --> 00:24:44,680
My gosh!
464
00:24:45,851 --> 00:24:47,978
- Well, hey, sweetheart.
- Hey, boss.
465
00:24:48,086 --> 00:24:49,951
Not you.
466
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:53,590
- What's her name?
- Wait for it.
467
00:24:54,626 --> 00:24:56,890
Chloe Elizabeth Whitman.
468
00:24:57,028 --> 00:24:58,791
What a suck-up!
469
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:03,231
It's her grandmother's name, jerk.
Hey, come on.
470
00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:05,700
Say hi to the secretary, sweetheart.
471
00:25:06,638 --> 00:25:09,937
Oh, she's...
She's beautiful, Jay. She's just...
472
00:25:12,043 --> 00:25:14,841
Ma'am. Minister Chen.
473
00:25:16,781 --> 00:25:20,649
Listen, you bring her in really soon,
OK? I want to meet her in person.
474
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:25,253
Madam Secretary,
this protest you've lodged with RACTO
475
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:27,756
is clearly a stalling tactic.
476
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:30,453
You want to help Ashmont Petroleum
win a bid they couldn't win
477
00:25:30,595 --> 00:25:32,256
honestly or fairly.
478
00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:34,591
You really want to accuse
Ashmont Petroleum
479
00:25:34,733 --> 00:25:36,928
of being the only unscrupulous actor
here?
480
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:39,765
I would suggest you tread carefully,
Madam Secretary.
481
00:25:39,871 --> 00:25:43,830
So you're saying that it is not common
Chinese business practice
482
00:25:43,975 --> 00:25:49,413
to get at the resources of developing
nations by bribing their elites?
483
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:52,176
The West did just that for centuries,
including to China.
484
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:54,548
Just because it's your turn now
doesn't make it right.
485
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:58,885
While fascinating, this philosophical
discussion is hardly germane.
486
00:25:59,024 --> 00:26:01,618
I strongly urge you
to retract your protest.
487
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:05,752
There are so many other
fascinating subjects to discuss.
488
00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:11,330
Your currency devaluation,
unfair export subsidies,
489
00:26:11,503 --> 00:26:13,232
intellectual property theft. I mean...
490
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:16,238
- Madam Secretary...
- Your labor and environmental...
491
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:18,399
Can we even call them laws?
492
00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:20,568
- More like suggestions.
- Madam Secretary!
493
00:26:20,712 --> 00:26:24,239
This inflammatory performance
will not help your cause in Ecuador
494
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:25,747
or in any other area.
495
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:28,182
Perhaps we should talk at a later time.
496
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,947
My apologies. Let's...
497
00:26:30,989 --> 00:26:33,150
Let's talk
about something less inflammatory.
498
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:35,649
How are your children?
499
00:26:37,062 --> 00:26:39,428
- They're fine.
- Good, good.
500
00:26:39,564 --> 00:26:42,397
- Kids are a blessing.
- Indeed.
501
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:46,397
Course, when they look back
at the Amazon and what we did to it,
502
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,165
they'll think we must have hated them.
503
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:50,173
Again, ma'am, these remarks...
504
00:26:50,275 --> 00:26:54,234
No, it's interesting because, you see,
if we chop it all down,
505
00:26:54,379 --> 00:26:57,837
we pretty much guarantee
that the planet overheats
506
00:26:57,983 --> 00:27:01,248
and our kids will live
in a totally destabilized world.
507
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:03,785
Well, then,
at least they'll be able to go to war
508
00:27:03,922 --> 00:27:06,117
with each other over fresh water.
That'll be kicky.
509
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:09,158
- Madam Secretary, are you alright?
- Are you not hearing me?
510
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:13,128
Your children and mine will suffer
because of choices we make today!
511
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:17,361
They will suffer and there will be
nothing that we can do to help them!
512
00:27:17,502 --> 00:27:19,436
Is that what you want? Is that...
513
00:27:20,739 --> 00:27:22,798
Will you excuse me for a minute, please?
514
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:30,715
Call 911.
I think I'm having a heart attack.
515
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,745
46-year-old female
presenting with chest pain,
516
00:27:35,854 --> 00:27:38,118
shortness of breath,
sinus tach and hypertensive,
517
00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:40,521
on two liters of O2 aspirin and EKG
on the bus.
518
00:27:40,625 --> 00:27:43,856
Get her an X-ray, blood draw
and sublingual nitroglycerin
519
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:46,225
- then take her to cardiac care.
- Elizabeth? I'm here.
520
00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:48,628
We're going to take good care of you,
Madam Secretary.
521
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:51,327
- How is she?
- We're taking her to run some tests.
522
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:54,269
It's OK, sweetheart, I'm here.
It's gonna be alright.
523
00:27:55,373 --> 00:27:59,742
Well, the good news is that you're fine.
You didn't have a heart attack.
524
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:04,008
- So what was it?
- Most likely a panic attack.
525
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:07,016
- You have got the job for it.
- Oh, God.
526
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:09,620
Is it bad that I wish
that I'd actually had a heart attack?
527
00:28:09,788 --> 00:28:12,723
Going forward,
I'd recommend you go easy on the coffee,
528
00:28:12,824 --> 00:28:14,086
take a few personal days.
529
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:16,752
From what I see in the news,
you've been pretty busy.
530
00:28:16,895 --> 00:28:18,920
Thank you, Doctor.
531
00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:30,769
Navy SEALs get this, you know.
You tougher than a Navy SEAL?
532
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:34,640
Maybe, like, a really runty one.
533
00:28:40,585 --> 00:28:41,779
OK.
534
00:28:43,254 --> 00:28:48,191
I think maybe I got a little bit
more affected by Iran than I thought.
535
00:28:50,128 --> 00:28:54,428
But it was one incident
and it passed and I'm fine.
536
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:57,660
Look, I know you think you can tough
this out but guess what, you can't.
537
00:28:57,836 --> 00:29:01,636
You have got to get help now before this
really takes hold and gets worse.
538
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:05,072
I can't just drop everything
and take a spa day because I'm sad.
539
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:08,145
You don't have to drop everything,
you just need to talk to someone.
540
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:16,283
I know. I'm all messed up.
541
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:23,588
One minute I'm fine,
and then the next I'm furious
542
00:29:23,728 --> 00:29:25,593
then I'm numb.
543
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:28,597
Well, considering what you've
been through, it's totally normal.
544
00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:34,365
Really?
Because it feels totally crazy.
545
00:29:40,845 --> 00:29:42,574
The truth is...
546
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:47,243
I'm just not ready
to talk about what happened yet.
547
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:51,615
OK.
548
00:29:51,756 --> 00:29:53,417
But you heard the doctor, yeah?
549
00:29:53,558 --> 00:29:56,584
- You need to take a few days off.
- I can't. It would be a whole thing.
550
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:59,856
So what?
This is your health we're talking about.
551
00:30:00,532 --> 00:30:02,363
I hear you. I do. I really do.
552
00:30:04,335 --> 00:30:05,802
But we're OK, right?
553
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,865
Yeah.
554
00:30:11,009 --> 00:30:13,443
Sorry I've been screaming at you a lot.
555
00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:15,011
No, it's totally good. It's fun.
556
00:30:17,682 --> 00:30:19,445
- I'm gonna go get Stevie.
- OK.
557
00:30:28,793 --> 00:30:29,953
Hey.
558
00:30:30,962 --> 00:30:32,953
- Is she OK?
- She's fine. She's totally fine.
559
00:30:33,064 --> 00:30:35,191
- Just go in and talk to her.
- OK.
560
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,665
I'll be right there.
561
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:40,001
Russell, are those for me?
You shouldn't have.
562
00:30:40,104 --> 00:30:41,765
- How is she?
- She's fine.
563
00:30:41,873 --> 00:30:45,104
Good. I'll just go in
and convey the president's best wishes.
564
00:30:45,276 --> 00:30:46,903
I said she's fine, Russell.
565
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,477
Tell that to the Chinese.
566
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:52,809
Thank you for coming.
567
00:30:53,885 --> 00:30:55,819
Hope you're right, Henry. I really do.
568
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:01,085
But if she's not fine, then you're not
doing her or your country any favors
569
00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:02,818
by keeping it from me.
570
00:31:10,568 --> 00:31:12,035
Give her these for me, will you?
571
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:23,571
The doctors concluded the secretary is
in good health and was simply exhausted.
572
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:24,773
No, they didn't.
573
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:28,375
Guys, she can't be exhausted.
Ed Muskie was exhausted.
574
00:31:28,486 --> 00:31:31,421
Exhausted is Washington code
for complete mental freak-out,
575
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:32,580
you 12-year-olds.
576
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:34,180
Please say exhausted more.
577
00:31:34,292 --> 00:31:36,419
Hey, she flew to Iran, thwarted a coup,
578
00:31:36,561 --> 00:31:38,392
then flew home
and went right back to work.
579
00:31:38,496 --> 00:31:40,589
I think America would understand
if she's tired.
580
00:31:40,698 --> 00:31:43,428
- Mike is um...
- Right.
581
00:31:44,602 --> 00:31:46,001
Right.
582
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:50,507
Listen, the story the White House
is peddling is "nothing to see here."
583
00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:53,406
Implying that the secretary
had some sort of breakdown
584
00:31:53,511 --> 00:31:55,502
is definitely something to see.
585
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,172
I'll bet my second house that Russell
Jackson is at the hospital right now
586
00:31:59,284 --> 00:32:01,946
trying to find out if our beloved Bess
has gone around the bend.
587
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:03,953
He actually is
at the hospital right now.
588
00:32:04,055 --> 00:32:06,546
- I heard from her detail.
- Look at that, I'm psychic.
589
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:09,957
And if he decides she is,
she'll be tossed overboard but quick.
590
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:12,621
Fine, no exhaustion.
We'll just stick to the facts.
591
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:15,426
She was unwell, she went to
the hospital. Doctors say she's fine.
592
00:32:15,566 --> 00:32:18,797
And answer any follow-ups with,
"I don't speculate, I'm not a doctor."
593
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,802
Now you sound like
you know what you're doing.
594
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:22,201
Oh, drop dead, old man.
595
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:25,400
The real question is,
do we really think she's actually OK?
596
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:27,670
Oh, of course she is.
597
00:32:27,812 --> 00:32:29,837
Based on what, Blake?
The fact that she bawled out
598
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:31,948
the foreign minister
of our biggest creditor?
599
00:32:32,050 --> 00:32:36,419
She's OK until she tells us
she isn't. Got it?
600
00:32:36,554 --> 00:32:38,886
Obviously we need to push back
Face the Nation
601
00:32:39,023 --> 00:32:40,388
for at least a couple of days.
602
00:32:40,491 --> 00:32:44,188
Meanwhile, I've got to try to put out
the fire with Minister Chen.
603
00:32:44,295 --> 00:32:46,855
So let's get back to work.
604
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:50,226
That's M Sec now.
I know what you're all thinking.
605
00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:52,563
"Why is she calling him and not me?"
606
00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:54,865
Well, shame on you, petty, petty people.
607
00:32:56,407 --> 00:32:57,465
Hello.
608
00:32:57,608 --> 00:33:00,873
I'm so relieved the secretary
is feeling more like herself.
609
00:33:01,012 --> 00:33:03,810
Please convey my warm regards.
610
00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:07,645
I certainly will and thank you again for
your understanding and for stopping by.
611
00:33:07,785 --> 00:33:10,151
Think nothing of it.
612
00:33:10,254 --> 00:33:12,620
But if the secretary
continues to push forward
613
00:33:12,757 --> 00:33:16,853
with this attempt to stymie our rightful
and lawful investment in Ecuador,
614
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,725
that, China might not be
so quick to forgive.
615
00:33:19,831 --> 00:33:24,598
Well, I would not presume to speak for
the secretary on such a serious issue
616
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:27,000
but I will certainly
convey your concern.
617
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:28,196
See that you do.
618
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:31,467
Because if the secretary's words
were not a moment of unreason
619
00:33:31,609 --> 00:33:34,237
but rather indicative
of an official attitude toward China...
620
00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:37,779
- I assure you they were not.
...then China in turn
621
00:33:37,882 --> 00:33:40,874
might begin to feel
that the United States' debt
622
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:44,477
is a less-than-reliable investment
for our surplus.
623
00:33:46,557 --> 00:33:47,683
Yes, sir.
624
00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:50,555
- Good day, Ms Tolliver.
- Good day, sir.
625
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:52,829
- Oy!
- Yeah.
626
00:33:52,964 --> 00:33:56,593
Wait till you see how inspired the lowly
grunts are by their unsinkable leader.
627
00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:58,464
Bounces back from heart attack same day.
628
00:33:58,603 --> 00:34:00,662
- Imaginary heart attack.
- Huzzah, huzzah.
629
00:34:00,838 --> 00:34:02,999
It's better than a real one,
believe you me.
630
00:34:03,141 --> 00:34:05,803
- Are you up for this meeting with Owen?
- Yes, absolutely.
631
00:34:05,943 --> 00:34:08,776
It took a lot of wrangling to get him
into the room under short notice.
632
00:34:08,913 --> 00:34:11,780
- I'm not going to embarrass you.
- Good, because if it were up to me,
633
00:34:11,916 --> 00:34:14,510
the only person you'd be in a room with
is a psychiatrist.
634
00:34:14,619 --> 00:34:16,712
Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.
635
00:34:16,821 --> 00:34:20,985
I'm withholding that until we see
if your plan actually works. So you set?
636
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,434
You good?
637
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:33,995
What?
638
00:34:34,138 --> 00:34:35,332
- Are you good to go?
- Yes.
639
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,465
Yeah, absolutely. I just...
640
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:40,042
I'm gonna... One thing...
641
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:42,237
No, no, I got it. I got it. I'm... good.
642
00:34:49,287 --> 00:34:52,882
Henry? Yeah.
643
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:54,286
So...
644
00:34:56,594 --> 00:34:58,789
Turns out you were right.
645
00:34:58,896 --> 00:35:04,163
Maybe coming back today
wasn't such a hot idea after all.
646
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:10,735
Owen, it's been too long!
St Moritz, right? How the hell are you?
647
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:12,901
Confused.
I thought I was meeting the secretary.
648
00:35:13,010 --> 00:35:14,307
We were walking in the door,
649
00:35:14,412 --> 00:35:18,007
she got a call from the White House.
Big mess in Russia.
650
00:35:18,149 --> 00:35:21,448
Very big, very messy.
But you didn't hear it from us.
651
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:24,020
Nadine Tolliver,
Secretary McCord's chief of staff.
652
00:35:24,155 --> 00:35:25,986
Thank you so much for coming in.
653
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,989
And this is Laura...
something something.
654
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:29,650
Vargas. Pleased to meet you.
655
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:32,022
Look, I don't want to be rude
or whatever,
656
00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:35,462
- but I've got a gala to go to.
- Oh, Mr Walton, please.
657
00:35:35,633 --> 00:35:39,262
The secretary had hoped to discuss
an opportunity with you.
658
00:35:39,403 --> 00:35:41,997
The chance
for your charitable foundation
659
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:48,568
to save over 4,000 square miles
of pristine Amazonian rainforest.
660
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:51,546
While that's an important number
unto itself,
661
00:35:51,649 --> 00:35:55,847
the positive impact on the health of the
planet would be exponentially larger.
662
00:35:55,987 --> 00:36:00,219
Look, this is super cool
and I'm all about the environment.
663
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:04,692
I mean, my foundation is already doing
this whole thing with reefs.
664
00:36:04,795 --> 00:36:07,730
Or maybe sharks.
But either way, it's amazing.
665
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:10,901
- Set up a meeting with them.
- Let me put all this another way, Owen.
666
00:36:12,436 --> 00:36:17,203
How would you like to win a Nobel Prize
for sticking it to Chip Harding?
667
00:36:18,843 --> 00:36:20,970
Chip wants to drill down there?
668
00:36:22,613 --> 00:36:23,637
I'm listening.
669
00:36:32,723 --> 00:36:34,588
- Russell.
- Evening, Henry.
670
00:36:34,725 --> 00:36:38,024
Look... I come in peace.
671
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:44,001
Good fix you had on the Ecuador thing.
672
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:47,604
Sounds like your team handled it well.
I shouldn't have doubted you.
673
00:36:47,738 --> 00:36:49,137
Thanks.
674
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:53,336
- I mean, China's not happy.
- Yeah, well, they lost.
675
00:36:53,444 --> 00:36:56,140
And because I screamed at Minister Chen.
676
00:36:56,247 --> 00:36:58,374
Nadine calmed him down.
677
00:37:00,017 --> 00:37:03,509
And the vice president's taking him
bowling or some damn thing.
678
00:37:08,526 --> 00:37:12,792
Summer after junior year of high school,
my big brother Kenny took me fishing...
679
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:16,122
...for getting straight As.
680
00:37:17,368 --> 00:37:20,360
My dad took off when we were kids so...
681
00:37:20,504 --> 00:37:24,702
Anyway, we were driving back at night
682
00:37:24,809 --> 00:37:29,109
and this drunk hunter
T-boned us with his truck.
683
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:32,006
I was a little banged up.
684
00:37:33,384 --> 00:37:35,215
But Kenny died at the scene.
685
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:41,855
Makes it back from Vietnam
in one piece...
686
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,620
...and dies right there
on the side of the highway
687
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:47,594
with the paramedics working on him
688
00:37:47,732 --> 00:37:52,396
and the looky-loos slowing down
and gawking.
689
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,243
Anyway, I'm mostly good now.
I won't bore you with my triggers.
690
00:38:02,813 --> 00:38:05,407
Suffice to say I haven't
been fishing in a while.
691
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:11,411
Here's someone
who can keep her mouth shut.
692
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:17,785
Welcome to the club.
693
00:38:20,097 --> 00:38:21,359
Thanks, Russell.
694
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:24,797
Take care of yourself, Bess.
695
00:38:36,514 --> 00:38:38,038
I wonder how she's doing.
696
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:42,585
Well, her last text
said she was resting and bored.
697
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,712
So, Laura, way to hit it out
of the park on your first at bat.
698
00:38:45,823 --> 00:38:47,791
Welcome to the bigs.
699
00:38:47,925 --> 00:38:50,519
He's terrible at sports, by the way.
700
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:53,791
Most of my friends from grad school
are still writing their dissertations.
701
00:38:53,931 --> 00:38:55,831
We actually did something today.
702
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,128
Actually doing something.
703
00:38:59,236 --> 00:39:00,669
- Hear, hear.
- Salud.
704
00:39:02,573 --> 00:39:06,703
I just hope the media noise
about the hospital visit will die down.
705
00:39:06,811 --> 00:39:09,575
Honestly, I don't think it will
until she does Face the Nation.
706
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:11,375
If she does Face the Nation.
707
00:39:12,817 --> 00:39:14,375
That's a double kill.
708
00:39:21,158 --> 00:39:22,921
Do you want to tell me about it?
709
00:39:27,898 --> 00:39:32,198
Fred Cole and the guys in my detail
died because I went to Iran.
710
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:35,362
They died saving me.
711
00:39:35,506 --> 00:39:39,533
They died saving their country
from a war. They died doing their duty.
712
00:39:39,643 --> 00:39:43,010
They died because of me.
713
00:39:43,147 --> 00:39:47,846
Babe, you did not force Fred Cole
to run toward the gunfire.
714
00:39:47,985 --> 00:39:51,386
That was his choice.
And you know he would do it again.
715
00:39:53,424 --> 00:39:56,120
And then there's Abdul.
716
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:59,196
Javani's son, right? What about him?
717
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:03,790
He was there.
718
00:40:06,737 --> 00:40:09,035
He was there in the room too.
719
00:40:10,207 --> 00:40:13,973
I didn't tell you. I didn't tell anyone.
720
00:40:16,013 --> 00:40:18,004
Cos I couldn't get to him.
721
00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:22,814
I wanted so badly to protect that boy.
722
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:26,746
Or at least
keep him from seeing his father
723
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:28,950
murdered in his own living room.
724
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:31,856
But I couldn't.
725
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,594
Fred was on top of me.
726
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:43,365
And I couldn't get to him.
727
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:50,705
How in the world
is that boy supposed to go on?
728
00:40:55,519 --> 00:41:00,115
We do all these horrible things
to each other.
729
00:41:02,359 --> 00:41:08,389
And there are always, always kids
in the middle.
730
00:41:13,637 --> 00:41:15,468
Henry?
731
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,541
What have I done to our sweet children?
732
00:41:48,606 --> 00:41:52,565
Madam Secretary, you made
an unprecedented trip to Iran
733
00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:57,113
to save the nuclear deal between
the Iranians and the United States.
734
00:41:57,248 --> 00:41:58,442
Yes, I did.
735
00:41:58,582 --> 00:42:00,243
And while you were there, of course,
736
00:42:00,384 --> 00:42:04,844
a coup
that was eventually foiled began.
737
00:42:04,989 --> 00:42:06,923
You were in the room
738
00:42:07,024 --> 00:42:09,390
when the foreign minister
Javani was killed.
739
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:10,585
That's right.
740
00:42:10,728 --> 00:42:14,164
Who else was there and what happened?
741
00:42:15,466 --> 00:42:18,560
We were at Minister Javani's house
when it happened.
742
00:42:18,669 --> 00:42:23,606
Several members of my security detail
were wounded or killed.
743
00:42:23,741 --> 00:42:26,232
Their courage was awe-inspiring
744
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:30,211
and I deeply mourn their loss,
as does the entire country.
745
00:42:30,347 --> 00:42:34,374
Minister Javani's son
witnessed his father's death.
746
00:42:35,419 --> 00:42:39,685
As a mother I would have given anything
to protect that child.
747
00:42:40,791 --> 00:42:45,023
Which is why I am determined as ever
to see through the nuclear agreement
748
00:42:45,162 --> 00:42:46,789
that his father gave his life for.
749
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:52,028
Because I think that's our
greatest responsibility in this life,
750
00:42:52,169 --> 00:42:56,663
to leave a safer and more peaceful world
for our children.
751
00:42:57,975 --> 00:43:00,705
- Madam Secretary, thank you.
- Thank you, Bob.
752
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:11,500
