1
00:00:02,611 --> 00:00:03,786
Damn it.
Agendas?

2
00:00:03,829 --> 00:00:05,744
You left them
in the printer.
Thank you.

3
00:00:05,788 --> 00:00:07,355
This is your Sunday look?

4
00:00:07,398 --> 00:00:08,878
Elegance has no schedule.

5
00:00:08,921 --> 00:00:10,401
Cookie?Oh, yes.

6
00:00:10,445 --> 00:00:12,969
I'll take a cookie.Mike?

7
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,840
No.How about in a circle?

8
00:00:14,884 --> 00:00:15,972
Yeah.Excuse me.

9
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,321
Sorry. Uh, yeah.

10
00:00:17,365 --> 00:00:18,888
Uh, right there
next to the secretary.Yeah.

11
00:00:18,931 --> 00:00:20,063
I got you.

12
00:00:20,107 --> 00:00:21,238
Who put their bag there?

13
00:00:21,282 --> 00:00:22,805
[phone ringing]It's Mike B's.

14
00:00:22,848 --> 00:00:24,807
Next time you got to pee
on the chair.

15
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:26,548
[phone ringing]

16
00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:27,984
Hey, Jeff.

17
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,507
Yeah, okay, I'll let her in.

18
00:00:29,551 --> 00:00:32,119
No, no, no, no. I'll let her in.

19
00:00:32,162 --> 00:00:33,555
You have to go upstairs.

20
00:00:33,598 --> 00:00:35,078
Oh, that's right. Stevie.[timer beeping]

21
00:00:35,122 --> 00:00:36,601
Come on.Yes. I'm right here.

22
00:00:36,645 --> 00:00:37,907
Time to go into exile.

23
00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:39,822
I didn't make up
the rules about...

24
00:00:39,865 --> 00:00:41,606
White House employees
staying out of campaigns.

25
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,869
And the two of you, shoo.Guys, did neither of you
hear the timer?

26
00:00:43,913 --> 00:00:46,089
Oh, shoot, sorry. You
put me on cleanup duty.Hey, guys,

27
00:00:46,133 --> 00:00:47,830
Ah.A presidential campaign

28
00:00:47,873 --> 00:00:49,092
is about to kick off
in our living room.Ah.

29
00:00:49,136 --> 00:00:50,311
A little excitement.I'm very excited.

30
00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:51,790
[Jason whoops]

31
00:00:51,834 --> 00:00:53,053
HENRY:
Ooh, there we go. Great British Baking Show?

32
00:00:53,096 --> 00:00:55,794
You kidding?
It's Shark Week.

33
00:00:55,838 --> 00:00:57,013
Okay! People!

34
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:58,928
Now that everybody's here...That's my seat.

35
00:00:58,971 --> 00:01:00,495
I would like to call to order

36
00:01:00,538 --> 00:01:03,802
the first official Elizabeth
McCord kitchen cabinet.Yeah!

37
00:01:03,846 --> 00:01:04,890
I like it.

38
00:01:04,934 --> 00:01:06,544
JAY:
And just as a reminder,

39
00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:08,633
you're all here voluntarily
outside your government duties.

40
00:01:08,677 --> 00:01:10,896
That means that nothing
we talk about tonight,

41
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:12,985
by law, can be discussed
at the State Department.

42
00:01:13,029 --> 00:01:14,726
No accidental

43
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:16,119
breakroom check-ins.

44
00:01:16,163 --> 00:01:17,468
No e-mails from State.

45
00:01:17,512 --> 00:01:19,079
Nothing.MIKE:
And now

46
00:01:19,122 --> 00:01:20,689
I will turn this meeting over
to the next president

47
00:01:20,732 --> 00:01:23,561
of the United States,
Elizabeth McCord.Aw.

48
00:01:23,605 --> 00:01:25,085
[all cheer]

49
00:01:25,128 --> 00:01:27,565
Thank you, everyone.

50
00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:30,002
Oh! And I have to thank Stevie,

51
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:32,266
especially for those cookies.

52
00:01:32,309 --> 00:01:33,658
Yes, thank you, Stevie.Thank you, Stevie.

53
00:01:33,702 --> 00:01:34,964
I made them, too.

54
00:01:35,007 --> 00:01:36,313
Can we have an oven
on the tour bus?

55
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:38,489
No.Not really. But sort of.

56
00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:40,448
That would be...
Okay, forget it.

57
00:01:40,491 --> 00:01:43,973
Number one topic tonight
is the launch of the campaign,

58
00:01:44,016 --> 00:01:45,670
which we think will be
in two weeks.

59
00:01:45,714 --> 00:01:46,889
Ten days.So...

60
00:01:46,932 --> 00:01:49,413
Ten days.Ten days.

61
00:01:49,457 --> 00:01:51,850
Are we, uh, sure
the speech is ready?

62
00:01:51,894 --> 00:01:54,157
It's a masterpiece.
I made a few tweaks.

63
00:01:54,201 --> 00:01:55,767
JAY:
That brings me
to our next topic,

64
00:01:55,811 --> 00:01:57,117
defining everyone's role
in the campaign.

65
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,857
Most of us will have
the same title

66
00:01:58,901 --> 00:02:00,424
we now have at State.

67
00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:01,991
With a much higher level
of intensity.

68
00:02:02,034 --> 00:02:04,167
This isn't gonna be some cushy
conference in Geneva, people.

69
00:02:04,211 --> 00:02:06,909
This is the
longest marathon

70
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:08,693
of your lives,
running uphill the whole way

71
00:02:08,737 --> 00:02:10,565
with this woman's
campaign agenda

72
00:02:10,608 --> 00:02:12,262
carved into your foreheads.

73
00:02:12,306 --> 00:02:14,003
You got me?Are we joining a cult?

74
00:02:14,046 --> 00:02:15,657
MATT:
It sounds like a cult.Right?

75
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:17,920
[phone ringing]It's a team, and we're
all in it together,

76
00:02:17,963 --> 00:02:20,488
so for now rest up, get
your annual checkups

77
00:02:20,531 --> 00:02:22,359
and dentist appointments
out of the way,

78
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:24,448
and try and enjoy the
calm before the storm.

79
00:02:24,492 --> 00:02:25,580
The fight of our lives.

80
00:02:25,623 --> 00:02:27,973
Uh, excuse me. Mom,

81
00:02:28,017 --> 00:02:29,453
security said
that Russell Jackson's here.

82
00:02:29,497 --> 00:02:31,760
Oh.We've got room for him
if he wants in.

83
00:02:31,803 --> 00:02:33,065
We-we do?

84
00:02:33,109 --> 00:02:34,763
Let's take five.

85
00:02:34,806 --> 00:02:36,068
MATT:
Yeah, hey, there's-there's
more cookies in the kitchen.

86
00:02:36,112 --> 00:02:37,157
Oh, there's cookies?MATT: Yeah.

87
00:02:38,201 --> 00:02:39,898
Hey, Russell.

88
00:02:39,942 --> 00:02:42,901
Didn't realize
I was crashing a party.

89
00:02:42,945 --> 00:02:44,468
You're always on the guest list.

90
00:02:45,469 --> 00:02:47,210
RUSSELL:
An article's

91
00:02:47,254 --> 00:02:48,603
coming out in the next few days

92
00:02:48,646 --> 00:02:50,039
in the Washington Chronicle

93
00:02:50,082 --> 00:02:52,389
alleging
an intimate relationship

94
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:55,827
between Elizabeth and Conrad

95
00:02:55,871 --> 00:02:57,089
during their days
at CIA.

96
00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:58,613
What?
MIKE:
Okay.

97
00:02:58,656 --> 00:03:00,005
Who's the source?
MIKE:
No, who's the reporter?

98
00:03:00,049 --> 00:03:01,920
Some stringer
named Terrence Robinson.

99
00:03:01,964 --> 00:03:03,879
We don't know where
he's getting his info.Well, that is

100
00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:05,576
straight-up defamation.

101
00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:07,099
MIKE:
No, this is good.

102
00:03:07,143 --> 00:03:08,405
That means they have
nothing in their oppo file

103
00:03:08,449 --> 00:03:09,798
if they're making
stuff up this early.

104
00:03:09,841 --> 00:03:11,234
Unless they're not making it up,

105
00:03:11,278 --> 00:03:12,844
which we'll talk later.They're making it up, Mike.

106
00:03:12,888 --> 00:03:14,411
All right, well, the Chronicle
called the White House

107
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:15,804
for comment, and we declined.

108
00:03:15,847 --> 00:03:18,241
Most likely they'll be
reaching out to you next.

109
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:20,983
Well, I absolutely want
to comment.

110
00:03:21,026 --> 00:03:22,593
Well, that's up to
you and your team.

111
00:03:22,637 --> 00:03:25,292
Obviously you've got more at
stake with your campaign coming.

112
00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:26,815
MIKE:
That's why we're
not giving this

113
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:28,512
any oxygen.

114
00:03:28,556 --> 00:03:30,601
But it's a complete load
of crap.

115
00:03:30,645 --> 00:03:32,603
Ignore it, it's one
news cycle. Answer it,

116
00:03:32,647 --> 00:03:34,518
it follows us the
rest of the campaign.

117
00:03:34,562 --> 00:03:36,738
JAY:
What if we do some digging
into the reporter?

118
00:03:36,781 --> 00:03:38,566
Discredit the article
as blatantly biased.MIKE: Sure,

119
00:03:38,609 --> 00:03:40,089
wage war on the press
ten days before we announce.

120
00:03:40,132 --> 00:03:41,699
It's a brilliant strategy.

121
00:03:41,743 --> 00:03:43,440
Not answering makes it look
like we have something to hide.

122
00:03:47,314 --> 00:03:49,229
Okay, we push the
announcement three days

123
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:50,752
until the air is clear.

124
00:03:50,795 --> 00:03:52,144
In the meantime the only thing

125
00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:54,234
you talk about
is policy, okay?

126
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:55,931
Let's get back to the meeting.

127
00:03:55,974 --> 00:03:57,280
Let's go, people!

128
00:03:57,324 --> 00:03:58,760
ELIZABETH:
"She's not likable."

129
00:03:58,803 --> 00:04:01,153
"I don't want to have a beer
with her."

130
00:04:01,197 --> 00:04:02,590
[sighs]

131
00:04:02,633 --> 00:04:04,722
"I hate her voice."
I mean, these are the things

132
00:04:04,766 --> 00:04:06,158
that I was ready for,

133
00:04:06,202 --> 00:04:09,205
but "she slept her
way to the top"?

134
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:11,686
What century are we in?

135
00:04:11,729 --> 00:04:13,427
It just means
they're terrified.

136
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:15,820
No. This works, Henry.

137
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:19,215
This taps right
into America's id.

138
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:23,306
And it works with women
just as well as men.

139
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:25,439
Well, can you find out
where it's coming from

140
00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:27,528
and shut it down?

141
00:04:27,571 --> 00:04:29,530
[chuckles]:
I mean,

142
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:32,881
there were always
these stupid jokes

143
00:04:32,924 --> 00:04:35,144
at CIA about Conrad and me.

144
00:04:35,187 --> 00:04:38,495
Isabelle and I used
to laugh about 'em.

145
00:04:40,541 --> 00:04:44,066
We have to tell the kids.

146
00:04:47,069 --> 00:04:49,071
Yeah, we do.

147
00:04:51,726 --> 00:04:53,728
[elevator bell chimes]

148
00:04:53,771 --> 00:04:55,077
[sniffles]
Morning, ma'am.

149
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,252
ELIZABETH:
Morning.

150
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:58,385
Hey. I saw your draft

151
00:04:58,428 --> 00:05:01,649
of the Global Climate
Migration Agreement.

152
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,651
You must have been up
half the night.

153
00:05:03,694 --> 00:05:06,001
I'm all right.

154
00:05:06,044 --> 00:05:11,267
You don't seem lit up by the
thrill of negotiating shelter

155
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:14,531
for the displaced people
of the next hundred years.

156
00:05:14,575 --> 00:05:16,228
Thrill got dampened by this.

157
00:05:16,272 --> 00:05:19,362
From East Asia
and Pacific Affairs.

158
00:05:19,406 --> 00:05:21,233
Oh, what the hell?

159
00:05:21,277 --> 00:05:22,713
We knew China was
trying to break into

160
00:05:22,757 --> 00:05:23,932
the private jet industry.

161
00:05:23,975 --> 00:05:27,631
A custom jet for
General Bo Htun?

162
00:05:27,675 --> 00:05:29,154
Hey, what's going on?

163
00:05:29,198 --> 00:05:32,070
China just violated economic
sanctions against Myanmar.

164
00:05:32,114 --> 00:05:34,899
By selling a private jet
to the military leader

165
00:05:34,943 --> 00:05:37,772
of one of the poorest
countries in Asia.

166
00:05:37,815 --> 00:05:38,947
You know,
why hide the corruption?

167
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:40,775
It's so much easier this way.

168
00:05:40,818 --> 00:05:43,081
A total slap in the face right
when we're negotiating the deal.

169
00:05:43,125 --> 00:05:45,562
It's China. They're doing it
because they know we need them

170
00:05:45,606 --> 00:05:46,955
on the Climate Migration deal.

171
00:05:46,998 --> 00:05:48,739
One jet sale is worth it
to threaten the whole deal?

172
00:05:48,783 --> 00:05:51,263
I want to put out
a statement. Strong.

173
00:05:51,307 --> 00:05:53,570
Don't hold back.On it.

174
00:05:53,614 --> 00:05:55,267
There is the larger issue.

175
00:05:55,311 --> 00:05:56,921
Yeah, I know.

176
00:05:56,965 --> 00:05:58,401
Myanmar is all
but getting away

177
00:05:58,445 --> 00:06:00,403
with the Rohingya massacre.

178
00:06:00,447 --> 00:06:02,579
They've met none of the demands
of repatriation,

179
00:06:02,623 --> 00:06:04,712
hundreds of thousands
of Rohingya people still stuck

180
00:06:04,755 --> 00:06:06,453
in camps in Bangladesh.

181
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:11,283
And the world is moving on,
playing politics, selling jets.

182
00:06:11,327 --> 00:06:13,677
It's Rwanda all over again.

183
00:06:16,854 --> 00:06:20,292
Nina, get me
our U.N. ambassador.

184
00:06:20,336 --> 00:06:21,293
NINA:
Of course, ma'am.

185
00:06:21,337 --> 00:06:22,817
PETER:
I share your outrage.

186
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:26,168
The Rohingya massacre is one
of the worst human atrocities

187
00:06:26,211 --> 00:06:28,997
in the last 20 years.

188
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,216
And President U Khaing?

189
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:33,262
Might as well be back
under house arrest.

190
00:06:33,305 --> 00:06:35,438
He's completely under
the thumb of the generals.

191
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:39,050
Who are getting away
with murder-- in a private jet.

192
00:06:39,094 --> 00:06:40,704
Thanks, Jen.

193
00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:42,619
We can step up the sanctions.

194
00:06:42,663 --> 00:06:45,535
Because it worked so well
the first time?

195
00:06:47,232 --> 00:06:49,496
If you really want to go rogue,

196
00:06:49,539 --> 00:06:51,019
we can call an
international criminal tribunal

197
00:06:51,062 --> 00:06:52,803
at the U.N.

198
00:06:52,847 --> 00:06:54,283
Prosecute Bo Htun

199
00:06:54,326 --> 00:06:58,330
and his cronies for violations
to the Geneva Convention

200
00:06:58,374 --> 00:06:59,810
and crimes
against humanity.

201
00:06:59,854 --> 00:07:01,638
Well, I like the sound of that.

202
00:07:01,682 --> 00:07:04,511
It's only been done
once before, with Bosnia.

203
00:07:04,554 --> 00:07:06,034
Milo.evic weaponized
mob violence

204
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:08,166
against a Muslim
ethnic minority.So there's precedent.

205
00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:09,472
We can point up the parallels.

206
00:07:09,516 --> 00:07:10,995
Does this pass at the U.N.?

207
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:12,823
It could take years.

208
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:14,259
And even if we get
some convictions,

209
00:07:14,303 --> 00:07:15,783
we'll have no way
to enforce the sentences.

210
00:07:15,826 --> 00:07:17,306
It would put the
regime on notice.

211
00:07:17,349 --> 00:07:20,962
Show 'em that the rest
of the world hasn't looked away.

212
00:07:21,005 --> 00:07:23,660
If the resolution passes,
and for that we need China.

213
00:07:23,704 --> 00:07:25,836
You get the other members.
I'll work on China.

214
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,838
Thank you, Peter.JAY:
So, Nina,

215
00:07:27,882 --> 00:07:30,232
I'm sure you're aware
the State Department

216
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:32,539
is about to undergo
some changes.

217
00:07:32,582 --> 00:07:34,758
You mean the secretary's
about to announce

218
00:07:34,802 --> 00:07:36,543
her presidential run,
which is so exciting.

219
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:39,546
I can't discuss that,
but, yes, it's very exciting.

220
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:42,244
The secretary would like
the incoming team to have

221
00:07:42,287 --> 00:07:43,898
some continuity
for the transition.

222
00:07:43,941 --> 00:07:46,291
We were hoping that you
would be willing to stay.

223
00:07:46,335 --> 00:07:47,728
Of course. I'd be honored.

224
00:07:47,771 --> 00:07:49,860
Deputy Secretary Cushing, right?

225
00:07:49,904 --> 00:07:52,341
Actually, the deputy secretary
has chosen to retire,

226
00:07:52,384 --> 00:07:54,517
and Deputy Secretary Bailey
will step in

227
00:07:54,561 --> 00:07:56,214
for the remainder of
the Dalton administration.

228
00:07:56,258 --> 00:07:58,869
Oh.
You'd report to him
in your current capacity.

229
00:07:58,913 --> 00:08:01,045
He's already agreed based on
the secretary's recommendation.

230
00:08:01,089 --> 00:08:03,352
Wonderful.

231
00:08:03,395 --> 00:08:05,963
Uh, thanks, so I'll fill you in
more in the coming days,

232
00:08:06,007 --> 00:08:07,487
but if you'll excuse...Sure.

233
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,838
Uh, Daisy?

234
00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:12,230
Can I grab a moment?Is it me,

235
00:08:12,274 --> 00:08:14,668
or did this coffee take
a serious nosedive?

236
00:08:14,711 --> 00:08:16,844
Blake abdicated coffee duties.

237
00:08:16,887 --> 00:08:18,933
Can he take over
for the campaign?

238
00:08:18,976 --> 00:08:21,588
Uh, sorry.
I forgot about the rule.

239
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:24,939
We're expecting a call from the
Chronicleasking for comment

240
00:08:24,982 --> 00:08:26,593
on an article alleging
the secretary had a previous

241
00:08:26,636 --> 00:08:28,333
intimate relationship
with the president.

242
00:08:28,377 --> 00:08:30,597
Uh-- say that again?

243
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,773
Before he was the president.

244
00:08:32,816 --> 00:08:35,384
Our answer is "no comment."

245
00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:39,997
You realize it's gonna
sound like she did have

246
00:08:40,041 --> 00:08:42,086
an intimate relationship
with the president.

247
00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:43,740
I do.

248
00:08:43,784 --> 00:08:45,786
Talk to Mike B.

249
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:47,875
Wait, so did she?

250
00:08:52,009 --> 00:08:53,184
CHEN:
Elizabeth.

251
00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:55,578
I'm gonna miss
these conversations.

252
00:08:55,622 --> 00:08:58,450
I'm calling to discuss
your troubled neighbor.

253
00:08:58,494 --> 00:09:01,105
You'll have to be more specific.

254
00:09:01,149 --> 00:09:02,803
Myanmar,
the Rohingya people.

255
00:09:02,846 --> 00:09:06,023
Tanks are still torching
whole villages,

256
00:09:06,067 --> 00:09:08,112
soldiers killing mothers
in front of their children,

257
00:09:08,156 --> 00:09:11,463
more than 700,000
forced from their homes.

258
00:09:11,507 --> 00:09:14,466
The economic sanctions
are clearly failing.Mm.

259
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:15,467
We believe the time has come

260
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:17,252
to step up our efforts,

261
00:09:17,295 --> 00:09:20,168
and I hope President Li
will join the United States

262
00:09:20,211 --> 00:09:23,301
in calling for
a U.N. special tribunal

263
00:09:23,345 --> 00:09:27,392
to charge General Bo Htun
and his regime with violations

264
00:09:27,436 --> 00:09:30,091
of the Geneva Convention
and crimes against humanity.

265
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:33,311
As troubling as Myanmar's
actions have been,

266
00:09:33,355 --> 00:09:35,052
China sees this
as a domestic response

267
00:09:35,096 --> 00:09:36,401
to a dissident uprising.

268
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:37,577
It's not our concern.

269
00:09:39,535 --> 00:09:41,972
Can I speak frankly, Ming?

270
00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:44,932
I think your regime

271
00:09:44,975 --> 00:09:48,152
is afraid that joining
a call for a U.N. tribunal

272
00:09:48,196 --> 00:09:50,154
to prosecute the violation

273
00:09:50,198 --> 00:09:53,636
of human rights might bring
a little too much attention

274
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,466
to China's mistreatment of its
own minority Uyghur population.

275
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:59,816
That is frank.

276
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:03,951
Right now the United States
sees a difference

277
00:10:03,994 --> 00:10:05,953
between your unlawful detention

278
00:10:05,996 --> 00:10:09,957
of a persecuted minority
and Myanmar opening fire

279
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,002
on women and children.

280
00:10:12,046 --> 00:10:15,440
But if China continues to
violate the economic sanctions

281
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:20,663
by selling private jets
to generals in Myanmar,

282
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:22,317
then we may become
more concerned

283
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,798
about the human rights abuses
in China.

284
00:10:24,841 --> 00:10:26,974
It's always impressive, the
amount of strength leaders wield

285
00:10:27,017 --> 00:10:29,541
when they're about
to leave office.

286
00:10:29,585 --> 00:10:32,327
I'll have plenty of strength
in my next office.

287
00:10:32,370 --> 00:10:35,635
But I'd much prefer
to work with you, Ming.

288
00:10:37,201 --> 00:10:40,683
I can discuss the idea
of a tribunal.

289
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:43,555
But I suggest you take
a less threatening approach

290
00:10:43,599 --> 00:10:44,382
in your new office.

291
00:10:44,426 --> 00:10:47,168
Whatever that might be.

292
00:10:48,299 --> 00:10:50,388
Damn. Way to sweeten
the moral authority

293
00:10:50,432 --> 00:10:52,086
with a little raw power.

294
00:10:52,129 --> 00:10:54,392
Felt like
it was getting through.

295
00:10:54,436 --> 00:10:55,567
Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.What's up?

296
00:10:55,611 --> 00:10:56,786
We knew you'd want to see this.

What is that?

00:11:32,953 --> 00:11:35,651
Is that a campaign announcement
or a call to revolt?

00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,653

00:13:17,492 --> 00:13:19,450
there's this article

353
00:13:19,494 --> 00:13:22,714
coming out
in the next few days, and

354
00:13:22,758 --> 00:13:25,195
it's going to imply that
when I was at the CIA...

355
00:13:25,239 --> 00:13:27,415
It's a hit piece accusing Mom
and President Dalton

356
00:13:27,458 --> 00:13:29,634
of having an affair
20 years ago.

357
00:13:29,678 --> 00:13:31,071
It's not true,
no, it's not true.It is not true.

358
00:13:31,114 --> 00:13:32,333
What?! Who's
behind it?

359
00:13:32,376 --> 00:13:33,551
W-We don't know.

360
00:13:33,595 --> 00:13:35,162
ALISON:
How can they just say that

361
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:36,728
with no proof?Isn't that slander?

362
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:39,557
Libel if they publish it.Look, we just want you guys

363
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:41,559
to know
that it's gonna be out there

364
00:13:41,603 --> 00:13:43,735
for a few days.That's disgusting.

365
00:13:43,779 --> 00:13:45,781
We're not responding,
so it just

366
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:50,177
goes away with the next crisis,
and... I am so sorry.

367
00:13:50,220 --> 00:13:52,657
You do nothave
to apologize to us.

368
00:13:52,701 --> 00:13:54,703
Wait, wait. So you're just gonna
let them say that?

369
00:13:55,747 --> 00:13:58,620
I'm gonna get attacked a lot.

370
00:13:58,663 --> 00:14:00,361
[scoffs]

371
00:14:00,404 --> 00:14:03,886
Just means
they're nervous about me.

372
00:14:03,930 --> 00:14:06,628
HENRY:
Callister's speech will

373
00:14:06,671 --> 00:14:08,282
probably dominate the news
anyway.

374
00:14:08,325 --> 00:14:10,284
Yeah, well,
that's the real scandal.

375
00:14:10,327 --> 00:14:11,633
Thank you.

376
00:14:11,676 --> 00:14:13,504
ALISON:
If it makes you feel

377
00:14:13,548 --> 00:14:16,290
any better, no one
at my school follows the news.

378
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:22,774
NINA: So, um, Kat,
you know how the secretary

379
00:14:22,818 --> 00:14:25,473
was asking us
to propose ideas

380
00:14:25,516 --> 00:14:28,868
for workplace improvements
at State

381
00:14:28,911 --> 00:14:31,479
before things,
you know, change over?

382
00:14:31,522 --> 00:14:32,872
I do.

383
00:14:32,915 --> 00:14:35,135
Well, I was doing
some research

384
00:14:35,178 --> 00:14:37,833
into the so-called
"potty parity initiative,"

385
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,444
the move to create
an equal number of bathrooms

386
00:14:40,488 --> 00:14:42,882
for men and women
in all federal buildings.

387
00:14:42,925 --> 00:14:45,362
Mm-hmm. It died in
committee. I'm familiar.

388
00:14:45,406 --> 00:14:47,538
Once again, gender
neutral bathrooms,

389
00:14:47,582 --> 00:14:49,323
and we'd never
have this problem.

390
00:14:49,366 --> 00:14:50,846
Oh, well, one day.

391
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:52,413
You were saying?

392
00:14:52,456 --> 00:14:54,676
So I was thinking, uh,
maybe a half-step would be

393
00:14:54,719 --> 00:14:58,201
to get tampon dispensers
in all the women's bathrooms.

394
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:00,116
Oh.Um, not free tampons,

395
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,988
although that would
be good, too.

396
00:15:02,031 --> 00:15:03,772
Yeah. No,
that's doable.

397
00:15:03,815 --> 00:15:07,036
I'll, uh... I'll take it
to the secretary. Thank you.

398
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:10,344
Oh, and also, um...

399
00:15:10,387 --> 00:15:12,781
Jay mentioned I
would be staying on

400
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:15,001
with the transition team
for Acting Secretary Bailey?

401
00:15:15,044 --> 00:15:16,698
Yup, yup, yup.I'm super grateful

402
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:18,700
for the opportunity, and please
pass that on to the secretary.

403
00:15:18,743 --> 00:15:20,223
Okay.
But I'd like to
request a transfer.

404
00:15:20,267 --> 00:15:23,357
Oh. Can I ask why?

405
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,143
I know it's
only hearsay,

406
00:15:27,187 --> 00:15:28,753
but I've heard...

407
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,799
I've heard some
things from women

408
00:15:30,842 --> 00:15:32,192
who have worked
for Deputy Secretary,

409
00:15:32,235 --> 00:15:34,281
and I'd rather not
put myself in a position

410
00:15:34,324 --> 00:15:36,892
where I'd be reporting
directly to him.

411
00:15:38,894 --> 00:15:41,201
Thank you for letting me know.

412
00:15:41,244 --> 00:15:43,420
I will take it from here.

413
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:50,036
So China's a no-go
for the U.N. tribunal.

414
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:51,907
I just spoke
to Chen yesterday.

415
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,039
He seemed open to it.

416
00:15:53,082 --> 00:15:54,388
That was before

417
00:15:54,431 --> 00:15:55,955
Owen Callister made his
campaign announcement.

418
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:57,913
They're waiting for
the dust to settle.What speech?

419
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,307
How much dust could it
have kicked up?

420
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:03,005
I guess you haven't seen
his poll numbers this morning.

421
00:16:03,049 --> 00:16:06,182
Look, maybe he appeals
to a fringe group,

422
00:16:06,226 --> 00:16:08,750
but he can't possibly
get a majority.

423
00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:11,144
Poland, Hungary, Russia.
Why not here?

424
00:16:11,187 --> 00:16:12,536
He convinces just
enough voters

425
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:14,451
that he's the savior
of the working class.

426
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:17,889
So Callister comes out as
the dark knight, and that's it?

427
00:16:17,933 --> 00:16:20,327
We let Myanmar go unpunished?

428
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:23,939
Well, there are other ways

429
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:25,767
of getting
the world's attention.

430
00:16:26,811 --> 00:16:28,857
I'm listening.

431
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,556
So far, our reports have talked

432
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,733
about killings and atrocities.

433
00:16:36,734 --> 00:16:38,519
Let's call it what it is.

434
00:16:38,562 --> 00:16:40,477
Genocide.

435
00:16:42,871 --> 00:16:46,092
We couldn't even call Rwanda
genocide

436
00:16:46,135 --> 00:16:48,224
at the time.Yeah, but that's been
revised now.

437
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:50,096
That could help us.

438
00:16:53,403 --> 00:16:56,841
And it sends a message
to Callister, too.

439
00:16:56,885 --> 00:16:59,366
We don't target minorities here,

440
00:16:59,409 --> 00:17:01,411
and we don't tolerate
other countries murdering them.

441
00:17:01,455 --> 00:17:03,196
Exactly.

442
00:17:03,239 --> 00:17:05,154
I'm gonna bring it
to the president.

443
00:17:05,198 --> 00:17:06,547
Thank you, Peter.

444
00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:08,592
I really... appreciate it.Thank you, ma'am.

445
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:12,248
I waited in a stupidly long line

446
00:17:12,292 --> 00:17:14,642
for what's supposed
to be the next Cronut.

447
00:17:14,685 --> 00:17:15,643
Uh, Mike Barnow, ma'am.

448
00:17:15,686 --> 00:17:16,687
Thanks, Blake.

449
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:18,385
This is to keep you

450
00:17:18,428 --> 00:17:20,996
off-line for the next two
days, possibly the week.

451
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,650
The article came out?

452
00:17:22,693 --> 00:17:23,999
Drops within the hour.

453
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:26,088
Stay inside, don't look
at any memes or tweets,

454
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:27,307
and for God's sake,

455
00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:28,525
don't read it.

456
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:30,527
Why would I do that?

457
00:17:39,754 --> 00:17:42,278
Hey, Richard, can you reschedule
my lunch today?

458
00:17:42,322 --> 00:17:43,497
Something came up.

459
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:44,846
Sure thing, Dr. McCord.

460
00:17:44,889 --> 00:17:46,891
Thanks.

461
00:17:49,764 --> 00:17:51,766
[coffee machine hissing]

462
00:17:53,463 --> 00:17:55,857
Henry.
Isabelle.

463
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,033
So good to see you.You, too.

464
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,687
How long has it been?

465
00:17:59,730 --> 00:18:01,123
Oh, gosh, uh,

466
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:04,126
Elizabeth's last
birthday dinner?
Oh.

467
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:05,562
God, I'm the worst.

468
00:18:05,606 --> 00:18:06,911
No, I think we
hold that honor--

469
00:18:06,955 --> 00:18:08,261
I mean, we keep talking
about seeing you

470
00:18:08,304 --> 00:18:10,828
and then there's always...Oh, I-I know.

471
00:18:10,872 --> 00:18:13,092
Work is so crazy.
I've been buying this house

472
00:18:13,135 --> 00:18:15,311
up in Maryland.
Oh, uh, well,
that's great.

473
00:18:15,355 --> 00:18:17,444
Yeah, it's no horse farm
in Virginia.

474
00:18:17,487 --> 00:18:18,836
But you got
to retire somewhere.

475
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,534
Listen, by the time
we get all three kids

476
00:18:20,577 --> 00:18:22,840
through college, I don't know
if we're retiring with a farm.

477
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:24,494
[chuckles]
Oh, you know what?

478
00:18:24,538 --> 00:18:26,540
Just coffee,
thank you.

479
00:18:27,932 --> 00:18:30,021
Somehow I think you two

480
00:18:30,065 --> 00:18:32,285
are on to bigger things
before you're done.

481
00:18:32,328 --> 00:18:34,417
Well, we're hoping
to stay in government.

482
00:18:34,461 --> 00:18:36,463
Mm-hmm.
But, um...

483
00:18:36,506 --> 00:18:38,334
articles like the one
that came out today

484
00:18:38,378 --> 00:18:39,596
don't exactly help.

485
00:18:41,685 --> 00:18:43,252
Thank you.

486
00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:50,346
I almost called Bess
as soon as I read it.

487
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:53,741
She doesn't
know I'm here.
Oh.

488
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:54,916
[clears throat]

489
00:18:54,959 --> 00:18:56,352
Listen, I've
got to ask you.

490
00:18:56,396 --> 00:18:58,093
Do you know anyone from
your time together at CIA

491
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,355
who would have done this?

492
00:18:59,399 --> 00:19:01,879
Someone who wants to
take Elizabeth down?

493
00:19:01,923 --> 00:19:04,055
You know, people knew
Bess was my friend.

494
00:19:04,099 --> 00:19:06,623
They didn't talk about
this stuff around me.

495
00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:10,236
You never heard rumors?

496
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:11,976
Personally? No.

497
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:13,935
[inhales sharply]
Sometimes the Company

498
00:19:13,978 --> 00:19:17,025
is like high school
with encryption.

499
00:19:17,068 --> 00:19:20,289
Somebody wanted to look
important to a reporter,

500
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:22,117
at some dinner party,
Elizabeth is right

501
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:23,945
to let it evaporate.

502
00:19:23,988 --> 00:19:26,730
Yeah.

503
00:19:26,774 --> 00:19:28,993
Our kids read about this.

504
00:19:30,952 --> 00:19:33,172
Henry, you know
there's nothing to it, right?

505
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:35,174
People used to call them
"the Honor Twins."

506
00:19:36,218 --> 00:19:38,089
Elizabeth and Conrad.

507
00:19:38,133 --> 00:19:39,439
Yeah, not a great reflection

508
00:19:39,482 --> 00:19:41,832
on the rest of us,
but, yeah, there it is.

509
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:45,227
Hmm.

510
00:19:47,316 --> 00:19:48,926
[panting]:
So...

511
00:19:48,970 --> 00:19:52,016
I think I know the
source of the story.

512
00:19:53,061 --> 00:19:55,977
The one we're
not talking about?

513
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:58,022
I reached out
to Isabelle

514
00:19:58,066 --> 00:19:59,110
this afternoon.Henry.

515
00:19:59,154 --> 00:20:00,547
I just wanted to get
her take on it.

516
00:20:02,505 --> 00:20:04,115
How is that ignoring it?

517
00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:07,031
She completely denied
ever hearing the rumors.

518
00:20:07,075 --> 00:20:09,208
You told me that you two
used to joke about it.

519
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,994
So you think
Isabelle's the source?

520
00:20:13,037 --> 00:20:15,214
Why would she lie
about the rumors?
I--

521
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:16,780
I-I don't even know
what to say, I...

522
00:20:16,824 --> 00:20:18,782
Look, I don't want to
be right, but if she

523
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:21,132
had something to do with it,
maybe we could, I don't know,

524
00:20:21,176 --> 00:20:23,222
could ask her to...She's not gonna
admit to it

525
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:25,572
if she did do it.

526
00:20:26,921 --> 00:20:29,271
It doesn't make
any sense.

527
00:20:29,315 --> 00:20:32,535
I think she's resentful
of your success.

528
00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:35,103
You never know how
that's gonna affect people.

529
00:20:38,062 --> 00:20:40,195
Look, I know we were
supposed to ignore it.

530
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:41,675
But...

531
00:20:41,718 --> 00:20:42,676
after I read the article...

532
00:20:42,719 --> 00:20:44,591
[sighs]
Is it bad?

533
00:20:44,634 --> 00:20:46,984
Uh, it's all...
"alleged"

534
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:49,726
and...
"rumored."

535
00:20:49,770 --> 00:20:53,513
So, as long as there's
no evidence to back it up...

536
00:20:53,556 --> 00:20:56,211
Are you-you asking me

537
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:58,213
if I had an affair with Conrad?No.

538
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,910
Of course not.

539
00:20:59,954 --> 00:21:01,434
[clears throat]

540
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:06,439
See, this-this is how it works.

541
00:21:06,482 --> 00:21:08,005
This is the poison.

542
00:21:08,049 --> 00:21:10,530
I don't doubt you.[phone ringing]

543
00:21:10,573 --> 00:21:11,966
But you were halfway
around the world,

544
00:21:12,009 --> 00:21:13,315
i-it was a rough time for us...

545
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,491
Nothing happened!
I know.

546
00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:17,450
Ever. I...
I know.

547
00:21:20,844 --> 00:21:22,759
Yeah.

548
00:21:22,803 --> 00:21:24,718
Um...

549
00:21:24,761 --> 00:21:26,546
well, that's odd.

550
00:21:26,589 --> 00:21:28,983
Let him in, Matt, thank you.

551
00:21:30,506 --> 00:21:33,030
Governor of
Massachusetts is here.

552
00:21:34,597 --> 00:21:36,033
Governor Hayes.

553
00:21:36,077 --> 00:21:38,035
U-Uh, please come in.

554
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,428
Thank you.

555
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:41,604
I'm sorry to stop
in unannounced.

556
00:21:41,648 --> 00:21:43,737
Oh, it's-- yeah, hi.
[chuckles]

557
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:45,086
I, um...

558
00:21:45,129 --> 00:21:48,524
was hoping to discuss
your future plans.

559
00:21:49,569 --> 00:21:51,571
Off the record.

560
00:21:59,709 --> 00:22:01,015
As a conservative governor
of a progressive state,

561
00:22:01,058 --> 00:22:03,234
I've come to appreciate
the values of my party

562
00:22:03,278 --> 00:22:04,714
that bring people together:

563
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:08,370
an equal love of liberty
and the rule of law,

564
00:22:08,414 --> 00:22:11,373
patriotism, personal
responsibility,

565
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:13,288
merit, and honor.

566
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:17,205
Those are admirable values.

567
00:22:17,248 --> 00:22:20,904
I don't believe Owen Callister
represents those values.

568
00:22:20,948 --> 00:22:23,080
I'm not the only member
of the party

569
00:22:23,124 --> 00:22:24,952
who found his remarks
yesterday hateful,

570
00:22:24,995 --> 00:22:26,954
divisive,
fearmongering.

571
00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:29,609
Well, he is polling pretty well.

572
00:22:29,652 --> 00:22:32,742
Well, with a certain section
of the American people.

573
00:22:32,786 --> 00:22:35,223
We believe
another candidate

574
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:38,400
can bring those people
back to the center.

575
00:22:38,444 --> 00:22:40,924
Elizabeth,

576
00:22:40,968 --> 00:22:43,927
I'm here tonight to ask you
to seek the nomination

577
00:22:43,971 --> 00:22:47,366
of the Republican Party
for president.

578
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:53,197
Wow. That's...

579
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,288
[chuckles]

580
00:22:57,332 --> 00:23:00,944
Can I-I speak
frankly, John?

581
00:23:00,988 --> 00:23:02,990
Please.

582
00:23:05,993 --> 00:23:08,952
I-I work for a president

583
00:23:08,996 --> 00:23:10,780
who turned his back
on both parties.

584
00:23:10,824 --> 00:23:11,999
Why come to me?

585
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:14,436
Because you're a
worthy candidate.

586
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,090
Well, I appreciate that.

587
00:23:16,133 --> 00:23:19,093
I do. But...

588
00:23:19,136 --> 00:23:21,225
I got to tell you,

589
00:23:21,269 --> 00:23:24,533
when I look at your party's
current platform,

590
00:23:24,577 --> 00:23:27,188
I-I...

591
00:23:27,231 --> 00:23:29,756
I mean, I-I'm
about to host

592
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,975
a global conference
on climate change,

593
00:23:32,019 --> 00:23:36,066
and your party can't even agree
that climate is changing.

594
00:23:37,111 --> 00:23:39,069
We need to evolve.

595
00:23:39,113 --> 00:23:42,072
We'd see your candidacy
as an opportunity to do that

596
00:23:42,116 --> 00:23:44,466
and, at the same time,
come back to the party

597
00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:47,034
of Teddy Roosevelt
and Dwight Eisenhower.

598
00:23:47,077 --> 00:23:51,560
A square deal and a
strong national defense.

599
00:23:51,604 --> 00:23:54,345
I think you fit that platform.

600
00:23:54,389 --> 00:23:56,130
And it's a platform we believe

601
00:23:56,173 --> 00:23:59,133
the majority of Americans
will vote for.

602
00:23:59,176 --> 00:24:01,527
Well, that's inspiring.

603
00:24:01,570 --> 00:24:03,964
And... flattering.

604
00:24:05,008 --> 00:24:07,402
But if you're
so alarmed by

605
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:09,404
Owen Callister,
why not denounce him?

606
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,232
Where are the public statements?

607
00:24:11,275 --> 00:24:14,409
We don't want to alienate the
people Callister's talking to.

608
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:16,411
We want to reach them.

609
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:20,023
We think we can do that
with you.

610
00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:22,896
[chuckles]
Well, Governor,

611
00:24:22,939 --> 00:24:24,245
you, uh...

612
00:24:24,288 --> 00:24:27,291
you have given me
a lot to think about.

613
00:24:29,293 --> 00:24:30,556
Thank you.

614
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:31,905
My pleasure.

615
00:24:31,948 --> 00:24:33,559
Hope you'll say yes.

616
00:24:33,602 --> 00:24:35,430
MIKE:
What is there to think about?!

617
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:38,085
For starters, the fact that
she's aligned with a president

618
00:24:38,128 --> 00:24:39,260
who won as
an Independent.

619
00:24:39,303 --> 00:24:40,870
For the first time
in history.

620
00:24:40,914 --> 00:24:43,786
The chances of that happening
a second time are about the same

621
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:45,353
as my son's chances
of getting into Harvard.

622
00:24:45,396 --> 00:24:47,529
Well, the governor
makes one good point:

623
00:24:47,573 --> 00:24:50,445
if I join the GOP ticket now,

624
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:52,578
we have a better chance
of knocking Callister out early.

625
00:24:52,621 --> 00:24:55,145
What if the governor represents
a small faction of the party

626
00:24:55,189 --> 00:24:56,843
and you don't win broad support?

627
00:24:56,886 --> 00:24:58,061
And then we're dead
in New Hampshire.

628
00:24:58,105 --> 00:24:59,367
Have you forgotten
who you're working for?

629
00:24:59,410 --> 00:25:01,978
Um, Elizabeth schooled
America about nationalism,

630
00:25:02,022 --> 00:25:04,764
and her, and her popularity
went up five points.

631
00:25:04,807 --> 00:25:07,288
This country's totally ready
to be spanked by Hot Mom.

632
00:25:07,331 --> 00:25:09,943
[sighs]

633
00:25:09,986 --> 00:25:11,510
JAY:
What do youthink?

634
00:25:13,816 --> 00:25:18,299
I think that I do line up
with some GOP policy positions.

635
00:25:18,342 --> 00:25:22,216
I think privatization

636
00:25:22,259 --> 00:25:24,827
is sometimes
more efficient

637
00:25:24,871 --> 00:25:26,176
than government
bureaucracy,

638
00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:28,918
and I'm all for
a strong military.

639
00:25:28,962 --> 00:25:31,442
And I think...

640
00:25:31,486 --> 00:25:34,141
we do all win when
the government steps back

641
00:25:34,184 --> 00:25:35,577
and allows responsible

642
00:25:35,621 --> 00:25:36,970
businesses to thrive.

643
00:25:37,013 --> 00:25:38,624
But I don't think that

644
00:25:38,667 --> 00:25:40,887
that means that corporations
should pay a lower tax rate

645
00:25:40,930 --> 00:25:42,018
than schoolteachers.

646
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,411
Of course not.
You can-- There's always

647
00:25:43,454 --> 00:25:44,630
a way to frame it.

648
00:25:44,673 --> 00:25:48,329
What happens when
I make wealth disparity

649
00:25:48,372 --> 00:25:49,460
my key issue?

650
00:25:49,504 --> 00:25:50,766
[kettle whistling]Or...

651
00:25:50,810 --> 00:25:55,162
declare that the days
of undermining democracy

652
00:25:55,205 --> 00:25:57,338
by gerrymandering are over?

653
00:25:57,381 --> 00:25:59,470
You will trade horses
like every other politician.

654
00:25:59,514 --> 00:26:00,907
She's not every
other politician.

655
00:26:00,950 --> 00:26:04,606
One bonus: I make this call
tomorrow, I am pretty sure

656
00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:06,695
this whole affair story
goes away a lot faster.

657
00:26:06,739 --> 00:26:08,610
Okay, that...

658
00:26:08,654 --> 00:26:12,179
is exactly the kind of political
gamesmanship that I hate.

659
00:26:12,222 --> 00:26:15,399
I know that both
parties do it.

660
00:26:15,443 --> 00:26:18,054
But the GOP has
a much darker history

661
00:26:18,098 --> 00:26:21,536
of playing up wedge issues
like same-sex marriage

662
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,016
just to fire up voters.

663
00:26:23,059 --> 00:26:25,758
When I went to Camp David
to think about the candidate

664
00:26:25,801 --> 00:26:29,370
I want to be, none of that
was on the list.

665
00:26:29,413 --> 00:26:31,067
Seems like you know your way
forward on this, ma'am.

666
00:26:31,111 --> 00:26:32,678
Let's not make any
decisions tonight.

667
00:26:32,721 --> 00:26:34,723
[sighs]:
Yeah.

668
00:26:36,986 --> 00:26:39,293
Let me, let me just,
let me just say this:

669
00:26:39,336 --> 00:26:43,079
no one... gets to
shape this country

670
00:26:43,123 --> 00:26:46,126
by being the noble
candidate who lost.

671
00:26:46,169 --> 00:26:48,128
We get past
the primary

672
00:26:48,171 --> 00:26:51,261
and get the GOP
machine behind us?

673
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:53,786
Guarantee we win
this thing.

674
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,405
Hey, is anyone gonna
say anything?

675
00:27:04,448 --> 00:27:06,886
Like what? "Congratulations on
your affair with the president"?

676
00:27:06,929 --> 00:27:08,801
Wait. We don't really
think it happened, do we?

677
00:27:08,844 --> 00:27:10,541
I think it's none
of our business, and, no,

678
00:27:10,585 --> 00:27:12,456
I don't think it happened.

679
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,373
Did you see Carrot
Top's tweet?

680
00:27:16,417 --> 00:27:17,548
You follow
Carrot Top?

681
00:27:17,592 --> 00:27:19,855
Good morning.Good morning.
Ma'am.

682
00:27:19,899 --> 00:27:22,728
Morning.Good morning.

683
00:27:22,771 --> 00:27:25,121
Here's your schedule,
and muffin's on your desk.

684
00:27:25,165 --> 00:27:26,862
Okay.

685
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:30,083
Can I see you
in my office, Nina?

686
00:27:30,126 --> 00:27:31,258
Thank you.

687
00:27:33,129 --> 00:27:37,873
Listen, Kat shared with me
your concerns about working

688
00:27:37,917 --> 00:27:39,440
with Deputy Secretary Bailey.

689
00:27:39,483 --> 00:27:41,747
Oh, gosh, it's really not
that big of a deal. [chuckles]

690
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:43,009
It-it is,

691
00:27:43,052 --> 00:27:47,013
and-and I'm grateful
that you brought it to me.

692
00:27:47,056 --> 00:27:50,843
Um... look, I'm, I'm happy
to transfer you

693
00:27:50,886 --> 00:27:53,367
wherever you want
to go,

694
00:27:53,410 --> 00:27:56,370
but for the sake
of everyone else working

695
00:27:56,413 --> 00:28:01,331
with the deputy secretary,
I wonder if you would tell me

696
00:28:01,375 --> 00:28:02,985
a little bit more
about what you know.

697
00:28:05,248 --> 00:28:07,424
Well, I don't, I don't really
want to get anybody in trouble

698
00:28:07,468 --> 00:28:08,469
just based on gossip.

699
00:28:08,512 --> 00:28:10,297
Oh.

700
00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:12,821
Well, trust me,
I can appreciate that.

701
00:28:13,996 --> 00:28:15,606
But I'm trying to gather

702
00:28:15,650 --> 00:28:18,740
any information I can
to pass it

703
00:28:18,784 --> 00:28:20,786
to the Office of Civil Rights
for review.

704
00:28:20,829 --> 00:28:24,615
Well, from what I've read,
um, most of those incidents

705
00:28:24,659 --> 00:28:26,530
have already gone to OCR.

706
00:28:27,531 --> 00:28:30,883
Can I ask where,
where you read this?

707
00:28:31,927 --> 00:28:34,147
Uh...

708
00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:35,452
oh, gosh.

709
00:28:35,496 --> 00:28:36,976
Um, okay.

710
00:28:37,019 --> 00:28:40,196
There's... a document

711
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,590
that goes around between
women federal employees.

712
00:28:42,633 --> 00:28:45,071
Mostly lower level.

713
00:28:45,114 --> 00:28:49,510
Just a private thing,
warning each other of

714
00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:52,774
which men to avoid
being alone with.

715
00:28:52,818 --> 00:28:56,604
And the deputy secretary
is in it?

716
00:28:56,647 --> 00:28:57,779
Yeah, um,

717
00:28:57,823 --> 00:28:59,825
mostly...

718
00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:02,479
groping and lunging

719
00:29:02,523 --> 00:29:04,525
and some weird comments.

720
00:29:07,963 --> 00:29:11,184
If I assure you that
I will protect the identities

721
00:29:11,227 --> 00:29:15,405
of the accusers,
would you be willing

722
00:29:15,449 --> 00:29:17,581
to share that document with me?

723
00:29:22,456 --> 00:29:24,414
Thank you.

724
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:34,381
For what it's worth,
the president isn't in it.

725
00:29:34,424 --> 00:29:36,122
And I'm really sorry

726
00:29:36,165 --> 00:29:38,254
about that
article, ma'am.

727
00:29:48,134 --> 00:29:49,396
ELIZABETH:
Isabelle.

728
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:53,052
Bess, oh, my God.

729
00:29:53,095 --> 00:29:55,750
How good to see you.

730
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:57,708
How have you been?

731
00:29:57,752 --> 00:30:00,189
A little rocky lately.

732
00:30:00,233 --> 00:30:03,714
Did you repeat any of the rumors
about Conrad and me?

733
00:30:03,758 --> 00:30:05,064
What, you think
I'mthe source?

734
00:30:05,107 --> 00:30:06,630
Henry said
he talked to you.

735
00:30:06,674 --> 00:30:09,459
Why, why would you say
you hadn't heard anything?

736
00:30:09,503 --> 00:30:10,591
He showed up, he...

737
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:13,550
You know what, can
we get in the car?

738
00:30:13,594 --> 00:30:16,031
I-I'm freezing.Sure.

739
00:30:17,250 --> 00:30:20,775
Henry...

740
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,255
he showed up
out of nowhere.

741
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:23,734
He's obviously

742
00:30:23,778 --> 00:30:26,215
stirred up from
reading about

743
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:28,478
his wife sleeping
with her boss.

744
00:30:28,522 --> 00:30:31,612
[chuckles]When your
friend's husband

745
00:30:31,655 --> 00:30:35,659
asks you if it's true,
you don't feed the fire.

746
00:30:39,054 --> 00:30:42,101
This whole thing...Yeah.

747
00:30:42,144 --> 00:30:46,627
Do you have any idea
who it could've been?

748
00:30:46,670 --> 00:30:49,586
I mean, it could've been
a lot of people, Bess.

749
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:52,676
[chuckles] Weren't thatmany
people out to get me.

750
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,939
Maybe not out to get you,

751
00:30:53,982 --> 00:30:56,767
but if they were asked?
They all had eyes.

752
00:30:56,811 --> 00:30:57,986
Whether anything
happened or not,

753
00:30:58,030 --> 00:30:59,727
he clearly
favored you.

754
00:30:59,770 --> 00:31:01,120
Wait...

755
00:31:01,163 --> 00:31:03,078
Look, I know you
didn't cross any lines.

756
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:04,950
I-I mean, I don't even think
there's anything wrong

757
00:31:04,993 --> 00:31:06,255
with how you
benefited from it.

758
00:31:06,299 --> 00:31:08,649
Uh...Wow.

759
00:31:08,692 --> 00:31:11,478
So you think that I...No. I'm-I'm not...

760
00:31:11,521 --> 00:31:13,697
used Conrad...No, I'm not saying
you didn't earn

761
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:16,831
everything that you've achieved,
and believe me, I will be

762
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,137
first in line
to vote for you.

763
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:20,052
I know it's totally
unfair to you, but

764
00:31:20,095 --> 00:31:22,358
it's not hard for people who
saw your dynamic with Conrad

765
00:31:22,402 --> 00:31:25,709
to think there could have been
something to those rumors.

766
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:44,946
The foreign aid bill
before the Senate

767
00:31:44,990 --> 00:31:47,209
this morning
generated heated debate.

768
00:31:47,253 --> 00:31:50,038
OWEN: I am absolutely opposed to
increasing our foreign spending,

769
00:31:50,082 --> 00:31:53,041
particularly at a time
when the chief diplomat

770
00:31:53,085 --> 00:31:55,391
representing the United States
to the rest of the world,

771
00:31:55,435 --> 00:31:57,263
Elizabeth McCord, brings such

772
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:59,265
a shameful example
of moral turpitude

773
00:31:59,308 --> 00:32:01,354
and corruption...

774
00:32:04,487 --> 00:32:06,315
HENRY:
Hey, Jace.

775
00:32:08,013 --> 00:32:12,669
I was hoping for a sit-down
with Secretary McCord

776
00:32:12,713 --> 00:32:14,280
sooner than later.

777
00:32:14,323 --> 00:32:16,195
There are a few initiatives
I'd like to go over with her.

778
00:32:16,238 --> 00:32:17,500
Well, there's
another matter

779
00:32:17,544 --> 00:32:20,547
we need to discuss
first, Deputy Secretary.

780
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:22,810
Hey. Let's keep
it Steven,

781
00:32:22,853 --> 00:32:24,986
at least until I'm out
of the bullpen.

782
00:32:26,161 --> 00:32:27,293
[clears throat]

783
00:32:27,336 --> 00:32:29,295
Uh, if you could take
a look at this.

784
00:32:29,338 --> 00:32:30,905
Mm-hmm.

785
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,951
What...?

786
00:32:34,648 --> 00:32:36,606
You want to tell me
what this is?

787
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:38,173
It's an anonymous
document

788
00:32:38,217 --> 00:32:40,132
maintained by female employees
of the federal government

789
00:32:40,175 --> 00:32:43,091
warning each other of
other employees who have

790
00:32:43,135 --> 00:32:45,180
made them feel unsafe.

791
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:52,579
[clears throat]

792
00:32:52,622 --> 00:32:54,581
Here we go.

793
00:32:54,624 --> 00:32:58,063
Deputy Secretary, you should
know that Secretary McCord and I

794
00:32:58,106 --> 00:33:00,979
take these allegations
very seriously.

795
00:33:01,022 --> 00:33:02,806
I suggest you do so as well.

796
00:33:02,850 --> 00:33:05,679
And, uh, you want to hear
my side of the story,

797
00:33:05,722 --> 00:33:08,508
or have you done away
with due process?

798
00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:11,685
Oh, all of these allegations
will be investigated fully

799
00:33:11,728 --> 00:33:14,340
if you decide to
take this position.

800
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:16,690
What are you implying?

801
00:33:16,733 --> 00:33:18,909
I am openly
informing you

802
00:33:18,953 --> 00:33:21,260
that if an investigation
confirms any of the actions

803
00:33:21,303 --> 00:33:23,262
as described in this document,

804
00:33:23,305 --> 00:33:25,960
then you will not become
Acting Secretary of State.

805
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:28,354
Furthermore,
those determinations

806
00:33:28,397 --> 00:33:31,052
will most likely follow you

807
00:33:31,096 --> 00:33:34,577
in your next career, so...

808
00:33:34,621 --> 00:33:38,233
you may want to think carefully
about your next move.

809
00:33:40,627 --> 00:33:43,891
You know, I get
that the rules have changed.

810
00:33:43,934 --> 00:33:47,373
But you need
to look at my record.

811
00:33:47,416 --> 00:33:49,375
No one has been
a bigger champion of women

812
00:33:49,418 --> 00:33:50,550
in this department.

813
00:33:50,593 --> 00:33:52,465
And I have
taken bullets

814
00:33:52,508 --> 00:33:54,641
for this country,
and now you're telling me

815
00:33:54,684 --> 00:33:57,426
that you're gonna run me
out of town on-- at dawn

816
00:33:57,470 --> 00:33:59,950
because a few women have
no sense of humor?

817
00:33:59,994 --> 00:34:01,778
It's a shocking
violation, isn't it?

818
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:06,435
To be confronted
by something so unwelcome

819
00:34:06,479 --> 00:34:09,395
and disempowering at work?

820
00:34:09,438 --> 00:34:11,788
I'm pretty sure

821
00:34:11,832 --> 00:34:15,270
every woman in this document
knows exactly how you feel.

822
00:34:15,314 --> 00:34:18,273
[folder lands]

823
00:34:18,317 --> 00:34:21,276
ELIZABETH:
Sir, I'd like to ask
if we can turn up the heat

824
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,584
and call the Myanmar attack
against the Rohingya people

825
00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:26,586
what it is: genocide.

826
00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:29,458
I think I know the answer
to this, but why now?

827
00:34:29,502 --> 00:34:32,244
Because Myanmar getting away
with turning tanks

828
00:34:32,287 --> 00:34:34,463
on its own people
makes it a lot easier

829
00:34:34,507 --> 00:34:38,337
for the next regime
to give it a try.

830
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:39,686
Because we should have

831
00:34:39,729 --> 00:34:43,472
moved on it
when we had the chance.

832
00:34:43,516 --> 00:34:45,648
All good points.

833
00:34:45,692 --> 00:34:50,479
But genocide, once proven,

834
00:34:50,523 --> 00:34:54,831
brings a legal obligation
to prevent and punish.

835
00:34:54,875 --> 00:34:56,485
If we intervene
in one situation,

836
00:34:56,529 --> 00:34:58,835
there are dozens of others
all over the world

837
00:34:58,879 --> 00:35:01,142
that clamor
for the same recognition.I know.

838
00:35:01,186 --> 00:35:03,013
Yeah, it's the same thinking
that made us avoid

839
00:35:03,057 --> 00:35:04,276
intervening in Rwanda.

840
00:35:04,319 --> 00:35:06,321
There are other terms
you can use

841
00:35:06,365 --> 00:35:09,107
that don't bring the same burden
of intervention

842
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:11,805
but would still shame
the Chinese for sitting it out.

843
00:35:11,848 --> 00:35:14,199
That saves you from starting
a mess with China

844
00:35:14,242 --> 00:35:17,202
that I would rather
you didn't inherit from me.

845
00:35:17,245 --> 00:35:18,986
[laughs softly]
It's no guarantee

846
00:35:19,029 --> 00:35:23,469
that I'm gonna inherit
anything from you, sir.

847
00:35:23,512 --> 00:35:24,992
Don't tell me you're letting

848
00:35:25,035 --> 00:35:26,994
that ridiculous article
get to you.

849
00:35:29,344 --> 00:35:31,825
It's my family
I'm worried about.

850
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:35,524
Well, I'm willing
to make a statement

851
00:35:35,568 --> 00:35:37,744
about the damn thing
if it'll help.
No,

852
00:35:37,787 --> 00:35:38,919
thank you, sir.

853
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,442
But you decided
to stay out of it,

854
00:35:40,486 --> 00:35:42,183
and I'm gonna follow your lead.

855
00:35:42,227 --> 00:35:45,230
I hope Lydia isn't too upset?

856
00:35:47,797 --> 00:35:50,060
One thing we learned
about this job is that you need

857
00:35:50,104 --> 00:35:51,540
to keep yourself separate
from the office.

858
00:35:52,585 --> 00:35:55,370
They are two
different things.

859
00:35:55,414 --> 00:35:57,329
Conrad, do you think...?

860
00:35:58,895 --> 00:36:02,508
When we were at CIA,
did you favor me?

861
00:36:04,466 --> 00:36:06,120
Of course.

862
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:11,212
You were smart, diligent,

863
00:36:11,256 --> 00:36:13,388
and you knew how to
think for yourself.

864
00:36:13,432 --> 00:36:17,827
What kind of boss would I be
if I didn't favor that?

865
00:36:20,090 --> 00:36:22,092
Perfect. Thanks, Kayla.

866
00:36:22,136 --> 00:36:23,964
I'll circle back
ASAP.

867
00:36:24,007 --> 00:36:26,053
If that's a masseuse, can you
see if she'll do campaign stops?

868
00:36:26,096 --> 00:36:27,446
What makes you think
I'm booking a masseuse?

869
00:36:27,489 --> 00:36:28,969
You said her name was Kayla.

870
00:36:29,012 --> 00:36:30,144
ELIZABETH:
Hey.

871
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,450
Sorry I'm late.

872
00:36:31,493 --> 00:36:32,799
Hey, you want my beer?

873
00:36:32,842 --> 00:36:34,453
MIKE:
Suck-up.Uh, no, um, I'm fine.

874
00:36:34,496 --> 00:36:36,803
Look, I've been thinking
about the GOP offer...

875
00:36:36,846 --> 00:36:38,979
Before you finish that thought,
I just got off the phone

876
00:36:39,022 --> 00:36:41,111
with the Democratic Party
chairman's office.

877
00:36:41,155 --> 00:36:42,548
They want to talk.What?

878
00:36:42,591 --> 00:36:44,376
So we can hear what
the other side has to say.

879
00:36:44,419 --> 00:36:45,681
You greenhorn idiot.

880
00:36:45,725 --> 00:36:47,422
Mike.
You just gave
Callister every reason

881
00:36:47,466 --> 00:36:49,337
to call her a superficial
party hopper.I just gave a candidate

882
00:36:49,381 --> 00:36:51,557
the opportunity to
consider her options.Guys, enough.

883
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,950
Enough.

884
00:36:53,994 --> 00:36:57,345
This whole routine
between the two of you,

885
00:36:57,389 --> 00:37:00,261
undercutting,
the jockeying for position,

886
00:37:00,305 --> 00:37:02,263
this has got to stop.

887
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:04,396
This is exactly what
George Washington hated

888
00:37:04,439 --> 00:37:05,745
about a two-party system.

889
00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:07,660
Two sides trying
to dominate each other.

890
00:37:07,703 --> 00:37:09,096
What does he know?
He had wooden teeth.

891
00:37:09,139 --> 00:37:10,445
He was right.

892
00:37:10,489 --> 00:37:12,099
And so is Jay, by the way.

893
00:37:12,142 --> 00:37:15,755
My political identity
is tied to Conrad's.

894
00:37:15,798 --> 00:37:17,757
I'm an independent.

895
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,194
It's who I am,
and it's how I'm gonna run.

896
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:22,892
I'm gonna call
Governor Hayes,

897
00:37:22,936 --> 00:37:25,112
tell him we're
declining his offer.

898
00:37:25,155 --> 00:37:27,593
Either of you have
a problem with that?

899
00:37:27,636 --> 00:37:29,899
No, ma'am.
Good.

900
00:37:29,943 --> 00:37:31,771
I've also accepted
an interview tomorrow morning

901
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:35,253
where I'm gonna put
these affair rumors to rest,

902
00:37:35,296 --> 00:37:36,558
among other things.

903
00:37:36,602 --> 00:37:38,256
Love it. Can we go
over some talking points?

904
00:37:38,299 --> 00:37:40,301
I don't need
talking points.

905
00:37:40,345 --> 00:37:42,042
I was there.

906
00:37:45,828 --> 00:37:48,570
Guys, this is gonna be
a long, hard road,

907
00:37:48,614 --> 00:37:50,790
but it's the road
I want to be on.

908
00:37:50,833 --> 00:37:52,705
So you either

909
00:37:52,748 --> 00:37:57,144
get on it with me
or get out of the way. Okay?

910
00:37:58,188 --> 00:37:59,625
Great.

911
00:37:59,668 --> 00:38:01,714
Thank you.

912
00:38:11,201 --> 00:38:12,812
Oh, my God.

913
00:38:12,855 --> 00:38:14,161
[mutters]

914
00:38:14,204 --> 00:38:15,858
Hey, did you see
Bailey's resignation?

915
00:38:15,902 --> 00:38:18,339
Are you kidding? I killed trees
and printed it out for everyone.

916
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:19,645
Hey, it's pretty decent, right?

917
00:38:19,688 --> 00:38:21,255
Wait, are we talking
Bailey's resignation?

918
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:22,561
So, you think he wrote it?

919
00:38:22,604 --> 00:38:25,651
"I regret the part
I played in a system

920
00:38:25,694 --> 00:38:28,828
designed to silence and dominate
half the world's population."

921
00:38:28,871 --> 00:38:30,046
He didn't write it.[laughs]: No.

922
00:38:30,090 --> 00:38:31,570
But I love whoever
got him to sign it.

923
00:38:31,613 --> 00:38:32,832
I know.Uh, good morning.

924
00:38:32,875 --> 00:38:33,920
Hey, Nina,
can I see you for a minute?

925
00:38:33,963 --> 00:38:36,052
Sure.

926
00:38:36,096 --> 00:38:38,011
And, uh, the secretary's
interview might go long.

927
00:38:38,054 --> 00:38:40,187
You were able to move the meet
and greet with the new FSOs?

928
00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:41,667
Yes, to Thursday.Good.

929
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:45,235
So, do we know
who wrote that memo?

930
00:38:45,279 --> 00:38:49,414
I think the deputy secretary
saw the error of his ways.

931
00:38:49,457 --> 00:38:52,199
What? It could happen.

932
00:38:52,242 --> 00:38:53,374
[laughs]

933
00:38:53,418 --> 00:38:55,855
KAT:
Undersecretary Thompson.

934
00:38:55,898 --> 00:38:57,857
Yes.
This is
Nina Cummings.

935
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,685
She'll be your new
administrative assistant.

936
00:38:59,728 --> 00:39:02,165
And, Nina, Undersecretary
Thompson will be stepping in

937
00:39:02,209 --> 00:39:05,473
as acting secretary
once we begin the transition.

938
00:39:05,517 --> 00:39:08,650
It's an honor.
I-I so admire your work

939
00:39:08,694 --> 00:39:10,696
with the Bureau
of African Affairs.Thank you, Nina.

940
00:39:10,739 --> 00:39:12,567
I look forward
to working with you.Me, too.

941
00:39:12,611 --> 00:39:15,309
Oh, that reminds me, um,
OMB approved a line item

942
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,398
for tampons in the bathrooms.[gasps]

943
00:39:17,442 --> 00:39:18,573
Nina's idea.Hey.

944
00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:20,314
Look at that.Oh.

945
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,794
[laughter]Policy in action.

946
00:39:21,837 --> 00:39:23,143
Yes.That's right.

947
00:39:23,186 --> 00:39:24,449
What else can we get?

948
00:39:24,492 --> 00:39:26,407
Um, equal pay.Yes.

949
00:39:26,451 --> 00:39:27,669
[laughter]

950
00:39:27,713 --> 00:39:31,064
PRODUCER:
In five, four, three...

951
00:39:33,327 --> 00:39:36,939
Secretary McCord,
I'm gonna get right to it.

952
00:39:36,983 --> 00:39:38,985
Are you running for president

953
00:39:39,028 --> 00:39:40,465
in the next election?

954
00:39:40,508 --> 00:39:42,380
Well, right now I'm pretty busy

955
00:39:42,423 --> 00:39:45,208
representing our country
to the rest of the world.

956
00:39:45,252 --> 00:39:47,950
JANE:
I want to get to your work
as Secretary of State,

957
00:39:47,994 --> 00:39:50,300
but first
let's go back to your time

958
00:39:50,344 --> 00:39:52,085
at the CIA.

959
00:39:52,128 --> 00:39:54,783
Uh, you were
an intelligence analyst

960
00:39:54,827 --> 00:39:57,438
working with
Conrad Dalton in Iraq?

961
00:39:57,482 --> 00:39:58,744
Yes, that's right.

962
00:39:58,787 --> 00:40:03,009
You worked closely
with President Dalton.

963
00:40:03,052 --> 00:40:04,358
I was a member

964
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:06,142
of an incredible team.

965
00:40:06,186 --> 00:40:09,842
There was a great deal
of mutual respect.

966
00:40:09,885 --> 00:40:12,453
JANE:
There have been
rumors lately, uh,

967
00:40:12,497 --> 00:40:15,108
that your relationship
with President Dalton

968
00:40:15,151 --> 00:40:18,459
was a more intimate one
during those years?

969
00:40:18,503 --> 00:40:20,374
Those rumors are not true,

970
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:22,855
and the people spreading them
are the same people

971
00:40:22,898 --> 00:40:24,639
who are trying
to distract Americans

972
00:40:24,683 --> 00:40:27,294
from the real threats we face.

973
00:40:27,337 --> 00:40:31,037
Like the rise of hatred
and intolerance.

974
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,692
These people want us to
be scared and suspicious

975
00:40:33,735 --> 00:40:37,086
of anyone who looks, speaks,

976
00:40:37,130 --> 00:40:40,742
prays differently
than people we know.

977
00:40:40,786 --> 00:40:44,790
Because when we're scared,
that's when they take power.

978
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:48,489
This is happening
all over the world.

979
00:40:48,533 --> 00:40:52,101
Last year, Myanmar unleashed
a campaign of ethnic cleansing

980
00:40:52,145 --> 00:40:56,062
on an entire population
of Muslim citizens

981
00:40:56,105 --> 00:40:59,413
in retaliation against a
handful of Muslim dissidents.

982
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:02,198
And right now
they're getting away with it.

983
00:41:02,242 --> 00:41:06,289
It's the same hate and fear
that drove extremists

984
00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:09,771
to attack the White House
over an immigration policy.

985
00:41:09,815 --> 00:41:13,514
And it's the same hate
infecting every line

986
00:41:13,558 --> 00:41:16,517
of Senator Callister's
campaign announcement.

987
00:41:16,561 --> 00:41:18,040
You made a speech

988
00:41:18,084 --> 00:41:19,912
several months ago, uh,

989
00:41:19,955 --> 00:41:25,134
calling nationalism the greatest
threat to humankind.

990
00:41:25,178 --> 00:41:27,136
I did,

991
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:31,401
but what's happening now
is even more scary.

992
00:41:31,445 --> 00:41:36,189
Extremists aren't just attacking
the White House from outside,

993
00:41:36,232 --> 00:41:38,974
they're trying to move into it.

994
00:41:39,018 --> 00:41:42,151
If we vote hatred
into our highest office,

995
00:41:42,195 --> 00:41:44,763
I don't think we survive that.
Not intact.

996
00:41:44,806 --> 00:41:45,938
What would you say

997
00:41:45,981 --> 00:41:47,287
to the many Americans

998
00:41:47,330 --> 00:41:51,291
who support
Senator Callister's message?

999
00:41:51,334 --> 00:41:54,773
De Tocqueville called
our early democracy

1000
00:41:54,816 --> 00:41:57,602
"the great experiment."

1001
00:41:57,645 --> 00:42:03,129
And I love that because it
reminds me how fragile we are.

1002
00:42:03,172 --> 00:42:05,305
Every generation

1003
00:42:05,348 --> 00:42:09,614
gets to choose whether or not
this experiment continues.

1004
00:42:09,657 --> 00:42:13,269
That means not giving in
to the weaknesses

1005
00:42:13,313 --> 00:42:16,142
that make us fragile as people
and as a country,

1006
00:42:16,185 --> 00:42:19,101
not listening
to those who tell us

1007
00:42:19,145 --> 00:42:22,148
to blame others
when we feel shut out.

1008
00:42:22,191 --> 00:42:26,021
And that can be
such a tempting message,

1009
00:42:26,065 --> 00:42:28,371
especially when you're down,

1010
00:42:28,415 --> 00:42:30,852
but it's a false one
and a dark one.

1011
00:42:30,896 --> 00:42:33,551
All I can say is,

1012
00:42:33,594 --> 00:42:36,554
however I continue
to serve our country,

1013
00:42:36,597 --> 00:42:40,253
I will never stop fighting
to save this great experiment.
