1
00:00:04,659 --> 00:00:06,194
Oh, hey, ma'am.
2
00:00:06,195 --> 00:00:07,462
- Yes?
- I'm glad I caught you.
3
00:00:07,463 --> 00:00:08,630
I just got the report
on coastal flooding
4
00:00:08,631 --> 00:00:09,697
in Southeast Asia for
tomorrow's meeting.
5
00:00:09,698 --> 00:00:11,332
Yeah, okay, put it on the pile...
6
00:00:11,333 --> 00:00:13,501
- Why aren't you leaving?
- Just got a couple more e-mails.
7
00:00:13,502 --> 00:00:16,237
Nope, not the deal. You
said out the door by 6:00
8
00:00:16,238 --> 00:00:17,472
on the nights you have Chloe.
9
00:00:17,473 --> 00:00:19,007
Is it 6:00 already?
- Yeah. Come on, come on, come on.
10
00:00:19,008 --> 00:00:20,241
Get your stuff and
we'll duck out together.
11
00:00:20,242 --> 00:00:21,276
Just give me a second.
12
00:00:21,277 --> 00:00:22,744
You have an event I don't know about?
13
00:00:22,745 --> 00:00:23,912
No. Yes.
14
00:00:23,913 --> 00:00:25,747
Well, not really an event.
15
00:00:25,748 --> 00:00:29,517
Just... well, Jason is...
16
00:00:29,518 --> 00:00:32,220
he's cooking dinner
with the new girlfriend.
17
00:00:32,221 --> 00:00:34,055
Girlfriend? That's new.
18
00:00:34,056 --> 00:00:36,024
Yeah, that is new.
19
00:00:36,025 --> 00:00:38,359
So is Jason. He's like a new person.
20
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,396
He's sweet and considerate.
21
00:00:41,397 --> 00:00:43,998
Ha, he even remembered that
his sister's a vegetarian.
22
00:00:43,999 --> 00:00:45,934
- What is that?
- That's a good thing, isn't it?
23
00:00:45,935 --> 00:00:49,837
Yeah, I mean, it is. It is a good thing.
24
00:00:49,838 --> 00:00:52,540
I'm just worried that
it won't last longer
25
00:00:52,541 --> 00:00:55,076
- than the relationship.
- Ma'am...
26
00:00:55,077 --> 00:00:56,477
- Almost made it.
- Sorry.
27
00:00:56,478 --> 00:00:59,547
- I can call my nanny.
- No, no. You go.
28
00:00:59,548 --> 00:01:00,814
Put her on the pile?
29
00:01:02,022 --> 00:01:04,185
Please tell me I'm not
gonna miss my dinner.
30
00:01:04,186 --> 00:01:05,620
Uh, you're needed at the White House.
31
00:01:05,621 --> 00:01:08,623
We can at least head out together.
32
00:01:08,624 --> 00:01:11,324
- Yeah.
- Sorry.
33
00:01:12,126 --> 00:01:13,962
We've got a bit of a situation.
34
00:01:13,963 --> 00:01:18,132
Our Special Envoy for
Eurasian Energy is on a plane
35
00:01:18,133 --> 00:01:19,701
about to take off from Moscow,
36
00:01:19,702 --> 00:01:24,772
and they just found a Russian
dissident hiding on board.
37
00:01:24,773 --> 00:01:27,475
Artem Markevich. You know him?
38
00:01:27,476 --> 00:01:30,612
Well, he's really more
of an Eco-activist.
39
00:01:30,613 --> 00:01:34,582
Last week he released shocking images
40
00:01:34,583 --> 00:01:37,085
of oil spills in Siberia.
41
00:01:37,086 --> 00:01:39,020
They were all over the news.
42
00:01:39,021 --> 00:01:40,555
I'm guessing Russia is mad,
43
00:01:40,556 --> 00:01:43,057
and now he's on the
run and seeking asylum.
44
00:01:43,058 --> 00:01:46,494
The Kremlin issued a Blue
Notice through Interpol
45
00:01:46,495 --> 00:01:48,463
about ten hours ago.
They know he's on the run,
46
00:01:48,464 --> 00:01:49,731
but they don't know where he is.
47
00:01:49,732 --> 00:01:52,166
Interpol? What are they
trying to charge him with?
48
00:01:52,167 --> 00:01:54,869
Pictures of the spill were
near a government oil field,
49
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:58,006
so trespassing, civil disobedience,
50
00:01:58,007 --> 00:02:00,541
and just plain being dumb enough
51
00:02:00,542 --> 00:02:02,777
to be an Eco-activist in Russia.
52
00:02:02,778 --> 00:02:05,346
Well, it's not gonna be long
before the Kremlin figures out
53
00:02:05,347 --> 00:02:06,381
he's on our plane.
54
00:02:06,382 --> 00:02:07,982
If we want to help Markevich, sir,
55
00:02:07,983 --> 00:02:09,150
we're gonna have to do it now.
56
00:02:09,151 --> 00:02:11,452
We're already locking horns with Russia
57
00:02:11,453 --> 00:02:12,654
in Afghanistan.
58
00:02:12,655 --> 00:02:16,124
Do we really want to
stir the pot with this?
59
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:18,192
To-to risk losing their cooperation
60
00:02:18,193 --> 00:02:20,928
on nuclear nonproliferation or Syria?
61
00:02:20,929 --> 00:02:22,830
I don't think they'd go
that far over one dissident.
62
00:02:22,831 --> 00:02:24,899
And besides, we leave this guy behind,
63
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,634
we're signing his death warrant.
64
00:02:26,635 --> 00:02:29,137
So palm him off on Sweden or whoever.
65
00:02:29,138 --> 00:02:30,605
Russia hacked into our embassies
66
00:02:30,606 --> 00:02:31,973
and leaked Intel to the Taliban
67
00:02:31,974 --> 00:02:35,343
that got our agent abducted
and a safe house bombed.
68
00:02:35,344 --> 00:02:37,545
I don't think we should
hide behind anybody.
69
00:02:37,546 --> 00:02:39,679
And this is a way to push back.
70
00:02:41,949 --> 00:02:43,651
And save a good man in the bargain.
71
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,854
Call the Special Envoy.
Tell 'em wheels up.
72
00:02:46,855 --> 00:02:49,790
Start the asylum process once
Markevich arrives on our shores.
73
00:02:51,459 --> 00:02:53,428
Hey, you.
74
00:02:53,429 --> 00:02:57,298
All right, go ahead.
75
00:02:57,299 --> 00:02:59,901
Tell me how great Jason's dinner was.
76
00:02:59,902 --> 00:03:01,602
It was pretty great.
77
00:03:01,603 --> 00:03:04,338
God, I knew it.
78
00:03:04,339 --> 00:03:05,673
How's Piper?
79
00:03:05,674 --> 00:03:09,877
Turns out she lived in
Kenya until she was seven.
80
00:03:09,878 --> 00:03:11,779
Of course she did. CIA or State?
81
00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:14,115
Aid workers, I think.
82
00:03:14,116 --> 00:03:15,616
Her parents built schools.
83
00:03:15,617 --> 00:03:18,619
So she's possibly more
lefty and committed
84
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:20,188
than our son.
85
00:03:20,189 --> 00:03:22,690
Impressive. How was the food?
86
00:03:22,691 --> 00:03:24,125
It was good.
87
00:03:24,126 --> 00:03:26,060
God, I'm starving.
88
00:03:26,061 --> 00:03:28,262
- Will you come sit with me?
- Oh, I can't, babe.
89
00:03:28,263 --> 00:03:30,898
I've got to finish going
over this Afghanistan report.
90
00:03:30,899 --> 00:03:33,134
The Gang of Eight called
me in again tomorrow.
91
00:03:33,135 --> 00:03:36,204
Boy, they're really giving
SAD the third degree, huh?
92
00:03:36,205 --> 00:03:37,472
Well, we're asking for more money.
93
00:03:37,473 --> 00:03:38,940
We still have no solid Intel
94
00:03:38,941 --> 00:03:41,542
that Russia's aiding the Taliban.
95
00:03:41,543 --> 00:03:44,545
For what it's worth,
we're about to grant asylum
96
00:03:44,546 --> 00:03:46,748
to a Russian dissident...
at least we're pushing back.
97
00:03:46,749 --> 00:03:50,318
Or helping justify their aggression.
98
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,253
Okay, now you sound
like Russell Jackson.
99
00:03:52,254 --> 00:03:56,290
- I'm gonna go get chicken. Good-bye.
- I sound like Russell Jackson?
100
00:03:56,291 --> 00:03:58,159
- It doesn't taste like...
- All right...
101
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,294
where's this dinner
I've heard so much about?
102
00:04:00,295 --> 00:04:03,798
Hi, Mrs. McCord. Sorry, Secretary.
103
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:05,399
Uh, I even rehearsed that.
104
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,969
"Mrs." is fine at home.
105
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:09,370
Elizabeth is even better.
106
00:04:09,371 --> 00:04:11,873
It's nice to finally meet you, Piper.
107
00:04:11,874 --> 00:04:13,374
It's so great to meet you.
108
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:15,376
Uh, where should I
put your roasting pan?
109
00:04:15,377 --> 00:04:17,445
Oh, no, no, stop. Just leave it.
110
00:04:17,446 --> 00:04:18,946
Not you, keep going,
111
00:04:18,947 --> 00:04:20,148
because I can't believe
112
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:22,483
- what I'm seeing.
- I always help out.
113
00:04:22,484 --> 00:04:23,718
We made you a plate.
114
00:04:23,719 --> 00:04:26,654
I hope you're good with chestnut puree.
115
00:04:26,655 --> 00:04:28,189
You made chestnut puree?!
116
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:31,592
I had a pretty amazing sous chef.
117
00:04:31,593 --> 00:04:34,428
Who only slightly micromanaged the menu.
118
00:04:34,429 --> 00:04:37,165
- You wanted to make pancakes.
- Savory buckwheat crepes.
119
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,366
With blueberries?
120
00:04:38,367 --> 00:04:41,235
I like it a little sweet.
It was a team effort.
121
00:04:41,236 --> 00:04:44,438
- You know?
- Well, it smells delicious.
122
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,140
All right, come on. Come sit with me.
123
00:04:46,141 --> 00:04:49,844
I want to hear all about...
growing up in Kenya.
124
00:04:49,845 --> 00:04:53,114
Well, actually, I was kind
of, I was kind of hoping
125
00:04:53,115 --> 00:04:54,882
just Piper and I could hang
out until her mom comes.
126
00:04:54,883 --> 00:04:55,817
I don't mind hanging out
127
00:04:55,818 --> 00:04:57,718
- with your mom.
- Well, I mean,
128
00:04:57,719 --> 00:05:00,655
just... she can fill you
in on her childhood anytime.
129
00:05:00,656 --> 00:05:01,856
Okay...
130
00:05:01,857 --> 00:05:03,891
Oh, look, look, look,
look, it's Stevie, look.
131
00:05:03,892 --> 00:05:05,726
Yes, okay, I get it.
132
00:05:05,727 --> 00:05:09,663
Piper, it was really nice to meet you.
133
00:05:12,733 --> 00:05:14,268
Jace, door open.
134
00:05:14,269 --> 00:05:17,071
Mom...
135
00:05:17,072 --> 00:05:19,173
Will you sit with me?
136
00:05:19,174 --> 00:05:22,210
- Yeah.
- What are we watching?
137
00:05:22,211 --> 00:05:24,579
Oh, um, Word of the Nation
is doing an interview
138
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:26,147
with this woman, Kat Sandoval?
139
00:05:26,148 --> 00:05:28,482
She, like, used to be some kind
of political hot shot, I guess.
140
00:05:28,483 --> 00:05:30,818
Chief of Staff to the
Ambassador at the U.N.,
141
00:05:30,819 --> 00:05:32,520
I think... it was years ago.
142
00:05:32,521 --> 00:05:34,856
Anyway, she's got this book coming out,
143
00:05:34,857 --> 00:05:37,525
and Russell Jackson would
not shut up about her today.
144
00:05:37,526 --> 00:05:38,526
So I have to watch this.
145
00:05:38,527 --> 00:05:39,760
Oh, yeah? What's Russell saying?
146
00:05:39,761 --> 00:05:43,331
That she's crazy and that
she's trying to cash in
147
00:05:43,332 --> 00:05:44,599
after she went off the rails.
148
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,401
I mean, what did she do?
149
00:05:47,402 --> 00:05:48,936
Threw a chair at someone.
150
00:05:48,937 --> 00:05:50,571
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
151
00:05:50,572 --> 00:05:51,873
Never got the whole story.
152
00:05:51,874 --> 00:05:52,974
Wow. Oh, here we go.
153
00:05:52,975 --> 00:05:55,376
It is not a town that
appreciates a shake-up.
154
00:05:55,377 --> 00:05:57,845
Y-You saw what happened
when President Dalton ran
155
00:05:57,846 --> 00:05:58,946
as an independent.
156
00:05:58,947 --> 00:06:00,181
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
157
00:06:00,182 --> 00:06:01,249
Whoever thought of that idea
158
00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:02,917
had some serious huevos.
159
00:06:02,918 --> 00:06:05,720
It was a bold move, and I admire it.
160
00:06:05,721 --> 00:06:08,456
Maybe you wish you'd hung
around a little longer?
161
00:06:08,457 --> 00:06:11,559
Eh. I loved my life in D.C.,
162
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,594
but by the end, this town
had sucked my soul out
163
00:06:13,595 --> 00:06:14,829
through my eyehole.
164
00:06:14,830 --> 00:06:17,899
I'm not looking in the rearview mirror.
165
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,367
My only concern is what's ahead.
166
00:06:19,368 --> 00:06:21,168
And that's avocados?
167
00:06:21,169 --> 00:06:22,670
- Ten acres of 'em.
- Hmm.
168
00:06:22,671 --> 00:06:24,238
I used to work donors and lobbyists,
169
00:06:24,239 --> 00:06:25,806
and now I work the land, right,
170
00:06:25,807 --> 00:06:27,208
bringing life out of the dirt.
171
00:06:27,209 --> 00:06:28,542
You talk a lot in your book...
172
00:06:28,543 --> 00:06:31,679
Well, I think I've found my exit plan.
173
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,682
Yeah, you should totally write a memoir.
174
00:06:34,683 --> 00:06:37,685
No. Retiring on a farm.
175
00:06:37,686 --> 00:06:41,055
Raising animals, growing our own food.
176
00:06:41,056 --> 00:06:42,623
A sustainable human
society is very much like...
177
00:06:42,624 --> 00:06:44,458
Mom, you do realize
178
00:06:44,459 --> 00:06:46,127
that we already lived on a farm, right?
179
00:06:46,128 --> 00:06:48,863
Not a horse farm, a cool farm.
180
00:06:48,864 --> 00:06:51,299
How is her farm cooler than ours?
181
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,668
Don't mess with my dream.
182
00:06:53,669 --> 00:06:54,835
- Shh.
- Mm...
183
00:06:54,836 --> 00:06:56,971
We've confirmed that the location
184
00:06:56,972 --> 00:06:59,473
of the embassy was obtained by Russia _
185
00:06:59,474 --> 00:07:01,208
when they hacked the Afghan embassy,
186
00:07:01,209 --> 00:07:02,677
which led directly to the bombing
187
00:07:02,678 --> 00:07:04,078
two weeks ago.
188
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:07,081
What about the kidnapping
of our Agent Samadi,
189
00:07:07,082 --> 00:07:11,719
and the execution of
her asset, Osip Bakunin?
190
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,222
Do we know who
orchestrated these attacks?
191
00:07:15,223 --> 00:07:17,959
That Intel did not come
from the embassy hacking.
192
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,294
We're still tracking down that source.
193
00:07:20,295 --> 00:07:21,896
In other words, you're working with
194
00:07:21,897 --> 00:07:24,740
a rusty bucket with
a hole in the bottom.
195
00:07:24,741 --> 00:07:26,834
Senator, listen, once we rebuild
our presence in Afghanistan,
196
00:07:26,835 --> 00:07:28,336
we'll be able to locate...
197
00:07:28,337 --> 00:07:30,604
Hey, that's a bit backwards, isn't it?
198
00:07:30,605 --> 00:07:31,672
I mean, you come here,
199
00:07:31,673 --> 00:07:33,207
you're looking for
funding and resources,
200
00:07:33,208 --> 00:07:34,208
but how do we know that's not gonna
201
00:07:34,209 --> 00:07:36,042
further empower our enemies?
202
00:07:37,478 --> 00:07:38,479
Maybe we should just
cut out the middleman
203
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,681
and give the Taliban a debit card.
204
00:07:40,682 --> 00:07:43,284
Mr. Chairman...
205
00:07:43,285 --> 00:07:45,219
Look, Henry, we get
it. Having eyes and ears
206
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:48,322
on the ground is how we
find the hole in the bucket.
207
00:07:48,323 --> 00:07:50,024
But we've read the report,
208
00:07:50,025 --> 00:07:51,625
we've seen the work you're doing,
209
00:07:51,626 --> 00:07:53,694
and it is my inclination
210
00:07:53,695 --> 00:07:58,299
that I put my faith in the
team that you've assembled
211
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,501
and the resources you've got.
212
00:08:00,502 --> 00:08:03,204
Well, that makes sense to me.
213
00:08:03,205 --> 00:08:05,239
How did it go?
214
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,907
We need to find a new asset.
215
00:08:06,908 --> 00:08:08,676
What was the name of that
Russian military official
216
00:08:08,677 --> 00:08:09,851
that you and Molly picked
217
00:08:09,852 --> 00:08:10,911
- before we went with...?
- Maxim Polyakov.
218
00:08:10,912 --> 00:08:12,680
Yeah. I need you and
Alexander to pull his file,
219
00:08:12,681 --> 00:08:13,814
see what he's up to.
220
00:08:13,815 --> 00:08:15,116
After what happened to Bakunin,
221
00:08:15,117 --> 00:08:17,651
it's going to be next to
impossible to turn Polyakov,
222
00:08:17,652 --> 00:08:19,153
or any Russian, for that matter.
223
00:08:19,154 --> 00:08:22,487
Consider it a challenge.
224
00:08:22,488 --> 00:08:25,026
One speech welcoming the Eco-warrior
225
00:08:25,027 --> 00:08:27,294
and ambassador for Planet
Earth, Artem Markevich,
226
00:08:27,295 --> 00:08:28,629
to the land of the free
227
00:08:28,630 --> 00:08:30,264
and home of the
environmentally progressive.
228
00:08:30,265 --> 00:08:31,932
Hopefully none of that's in here.
229
00:08:31,933 --> 00:08:36,170
I might have said
"ambassador for Planet Earth."
230
00:08:36,171 --> 00:08:38,439
Blake, will you see if there's
time in my schedule today
231
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,374
- to meet with Kat Sandoval?
- Yes, ma'am.
232
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:42,777
I mean, if she wants to
meet with me and all that.
233
00:08:42,778 --> 00:08:44,578
And, also, will you get
me a copy of her book?
234
00:08:44,579 --> 00:08:47,148
- Yes.
- What's that about?
235
00:08:47,149 --> 00:08:49,283
Saw her on a talk show.
236
00:08:49,284 --> 00:08:52,219
She wrote this whole
geopolitical treatise
237
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:54,488
on running an avocado farm.
238
00:08:54,489 --> 00:08:56,924
- Yeah...
- But isn't she that crazy consultant lady
239
00:08:56,925 --> 00:09:01,629
who threw a chair and had
some hysterical breakdown?
240
00:09:01,630 --> 00:09:04,031
You know, it's funny, isn't it?
241
00:09:04,032 --> 00:09:08,302
When... when a man reaches
a certain breaking point
242
00:09:08,303 --> 00:09:10,838
and throws something, he's passionate.
243
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:13,207
But when a woman reaches
the same breaking point,
244
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:16,310
she's hysterical and
can't stand the pressure.
245
00:09:16,311 --> 00:09:18,412
You know, you should
clear that up with her
246
00:09:18,413 --> 00:09:19,713
- when she comes.
- Ma'am?
247
00:09:19,714 --> 00:09:21,449
Yeah.
248
00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:22,817
Artem Markevich's plane
landed about 20 minutes ago.
249
00:09:22,818 --> 00:09:24,118
Great, I want to see him right away.
250
00:09:24,119 --> 00:09:25,586
No, he's on the way
to St. Lucius Hospital.
251
00:09:25,587 --> 00:09:27,021
He's being put in quarantine.
252
00:09:27,022 --> 00:09:28,856
For what?
253
00:09:28,857 --> 00:09:30,124
Smallpox.
254
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:32,693
How do you get smallpox? It
doesn't even exist anymore.
255
00:09:32,694 --> 00:09:34,028
It does in laboratories.
256
00:09:34,029 --> 00:09:36,229
One here and one in Russia.
257
00:09:37,398 --> 00:09:41,500
You think Russia deliberately
infected this guy with smallpox?
258
00:09:41,501 --> 00:09:43,671
And sent him here. That's
crazy, even for Russia.
259
00:09:43,672 --> 00:09:48,409
Hell of an escalation.
260
00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:55,843
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
261
00:09:58,371 --> 00:10:02,098
Smallpox is a highly contagious
virus, with an estimated
262
00:10:02,099 --> 00:10:06,035
mortality rate of 30-35%.
263
00:10:06,036 --> 00:10:07,670
Millions died of the disease
264
00:10:07,671 --> 00:10:10,406
before it was declared eradicated by
265
00:10:10,407 --> 00:10:12,642
the World Health Organization in 1980.
266
00:10:12,643 --> 00:10:15,078
We at the CDC have one of
the remaining stockpiles
267
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:16,079
of the virus.
268
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,947
The other one is in a Russian facility
269
00:10:17,948 --> 00:10:19,048
in Siberia.
270
00:10:19,049 --> 00:10:20,583
The other passengers
on Markevich's plane,
271
00:10:20,584 --> 00:10:21,518
they're being treated?
272
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:22,986
Yes, sir. So far,
273
00:10:22,987 --> 00:10:24,754
none of the flight
crew or the passengers
274
00:10:24,755 --> 00:10:25,822
are showing symptoms.
275
00:10:25,823 --> 00:10:27,524
So what about Markevich?
276
00:10:27,525 --> 00:10:28,992
He was already symptomatic.
277
00:10:28,993 --> 00:10:31,794
All we can do right now
is make him comfortable
278
00:10:31,795 --> 00:10:34,630
and hope that his immune
system can ride it out.
279
00:10:36,866 --> 00:10:39,168
Thank you, Charlotte. Keep us updated.
280
00:10:39,169 --> 00:10:40,802
Thank you, Mr. President.
281
00:10:44,674 --> 00:10:48,011
Russia didn't know Markevich
was headed to America.
282
00:10:48,012 --> 00:10:50,146
Uh...
283
00:10:50,147 --> 00:10:53,683
I don't think this is a
calculated biological attack.
284
00:10:53,684 --> 00:10:56,686
Calculated or not,
we're going to the U.N.
285
00:10:56,687 --> 00:10:59,055
I want international
sanctions against Russia.
286
00:10:59,056 --> 00:11:01,202
They can't play around
with infectious diseases
287
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:02,335
without consequence.
288
00:11:02,336 --> 00:11:04,561
I think we should hold
off for a moment, sir.
289
00:11:04,562 --> 00:11:07,078
For Russia to do this,
they'd have to know
290
00:11:07,079 --> 00:11:08,613
it was a declaration of war,
291
00:11:08,614 --> 00:11:11,249
not just with the U.S., but the world.
292
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:13,718
Time's not on our side here.
293
00:11:13,719 --> 00:11:15,219
Ephraim, check with the I.C.
294
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:17,054
Find out if there's
any chatter about Russia
295
00:11:17,055 --> 00:11:18,222
weaponizing smallpox.
296
00:11:18,223 --> 00:11:19,290
Yes, sir.
297
00:11:19,291 --> 00:11:21,359
Reach out to the
Russian foreign minister.
298
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,894
See what he has to say.
299
00:11:22,895 --> 00:11:25,781
And we'll hold off on
the public rebuke for now.
300
00:11:25,782 --> 00:11:27,179
But if there's any indication
301
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:29,682
that the Russians are flirting
with a global pandemic,
302
00:11:29,683 --> 00:11:32,116
our response will be unequivocal.
303
00:11:33,352 --> 00:11:34,853
Hey there. How was the hearing?
304
00:11:34,854 --> 00:11:37,589
Not great. About what I expected.
305
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:39,491
Can't say the same for
the conversation I just had
306
00:11:39,492 --> 00:11:40,993
with Jason's guidance counselor.
307
00:11:40,994 --> 00:11:42,428
Why? What's going on?
308
00:11:42,429 --> 00:11:43,629
Well, he basically tanked
309
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:44,897
his last calculus exam,
310
00:11:44,898 --> 00:11:47,366
and he took an incomplete
on his U.S. history project.
311
00:11:47,367 --> 00:11:49,535
That's weird. He likes those classes.
312
00:11:49,536 --> 00:11:51,904
Teachers say that he's distracted.
313
00:11:51,905 --> 00:11:55,074
Well, I love that he's in a love fog,
314
00:11:55,075 --> 00:11:58,110
but we are not raising
a high school dropout.
315
00:11:58,111 --> 00:11:59,445
Well, listen, I'm at the War College.
316
00:11:59,446 --> 00:12:01,447
I can maybe drop home between classes,
317
00:12:01,448 --> 00:12:03,115
catch him and have a conversation
318
00:12:03,116 --> 00:12:04,950
about priorities, and
lead him back to the light.
319
00:12:04,951 --> 00:12:06,552
Less leading, more telling.
320
00:12:06,553 --> 00:12:08,721
I say no more Piper on weeknights.
321
00:12:08,722 --> 00:12:10,089
Not until his grades go up.
322
00:12:10,090 --> 00:12:12,191
- Agreed.
- And I don't want to hear any rants
323
00:12:12,192 --> 00:12:14,026
about dictatorial parenting.
324
00:12:14,027 --> 00:12:15,327
Not from Jace, I mean.
325
00:12:15,328 --> 00:12:17,229
You can rant all you want.
326
00:12:18,598 --> 00:12:21,834
Mr. Avdonin. How are you?
327
00:12:21,835 --> 00:12:24,770
At the moment, appalled,
Madam Secretary.
328
00:12:24,771 --> 00:12:26,705
You were obligated to notify us
329
00:12:26,706 --> 00:12:29,508
of the whereabouts of Artem Markevich.
330
00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:33,145
We demand his return immediately,
331
00:12:33,146 --> 00:12:35,581
or my country is prepared to retaliate.
332
00:12:35,582 --> 00:12:37,182
Really?
333
00:12:37,183 --> 00:12:38,684
You want him back?
334
00:12:38,685 --> 00:12:41,320
Fine. I'll put him on a plane right now.
335
00:12:41,321 --> 00:12:43,222
- Thank you.
- Hope you're ready
336
00:12:43,223 --> 00:12:46,024
to put him in quarantine,
like we had to.
337
00:12:46,025 --> 00:12:48,160
Why? What does he have?
338
00:12:48,161 --> 00:12:51,330
Smallpox. We've got everyone
he came in contact with
339
00:12:51,331 --> 00:12:53,632
under observation.
340
00:12:55,835 --> 00:12:58,036
How is this possible?
341
00:12:58,037 --> 00:13:00,539
Well, there's only two labs in the world
342
00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:03,509
that have stockpiles of the virus.
343
00:13:03,510 --> 00:13:05,110
Why don't you tell me?
344
00:13:05,111 --> 00:13:06,979
Madam Secretary.
345
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:11,083
Are you implying that my
government could be capable
346
00:13:11,084 --> 00:13:12,950
of deliberately...
347
00:13:13,685 --> 00:13:16,388
It's unthinkable.
348
00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:18,524
I have to discuss this development.
349
00:13:18,525 --> 00:13:20,358
Excuse me.
350
00:13:22,661 --> 00:13:24,863
I don't think he had any idea.
351
00:13:24,864 --> 00:13:28,333
That was definitely not
Russia's usual non-denial denial.
352
00:13:28,334 --> 00:13:31,370
This doesn't mean that
Russia didn't infect him.
353
00:13:31,371 --> 00:13:34,072
It just means they didn't
read in their foreign minister.
354
00:13:35,308 --> 00:13:36,308
Hey, Jace?
355
00:13:36,309 --> 00:13:37,476
Yeah.
356
00:13:37,477 --> 00:13:38,977
Come here a minute.
357
00:13:38,978 --> 00:13:40,379
Hey. Hey.
358
00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:42,080
Can we make this quick? I'm
trying to get to Piper's.
359
00:13:42,081 --> 00:13:44,616
Yeah, come here. Sit down.
360
00:13:44,617 --> 00:13:46,118
Listen.
361
00:13:46,119 --> 00:13:48,687
I got a call from your
guidance counselor.
362
00:13:48,688 --> 00:13:50,455
Want to tell me what's going on?
363
00:13:50,456 --> 00:13:53,859
I'm assuming this is
about the "D" in calculus.
364
00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:55,727
And the incomplete in U.S. history.
365
00:13:55,728 --> 00:13:57,563
Wh-What's happening?
366
00:13:57,564 --> 00:14:00,064
I don't know. I guess I'm happy.
367
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,901
What?
368
00:14:04,904 --> 00:14:08,240
Hey... it-it's really exciting,
having a girlfriend. I get it.
369
00:14:08,241 --> 00:14:09,308
I-I do, but...
370
00:14:09,309 --> 00:14:10,676
Dude, it's your junior year...
371
00:14:10,677 --> 00:14:13,245
No. I-I'm... Stop.
I'm sorry. It's-it's...
372
00:14:13,246 --> 00:14:15,714
It's just how you say it.
373
00:14:15,715 --> 00:14:18,984
Like, like, you really,
obviously don't get it at all.
374
00:14:18,985 --> 00:14:21,086
Re... well, try me.
375
00:14:21,087 --> 00:14:24,189
I'm talking about life having purpose.
376
00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:25,924
Like, for the first time.
377
00:14:25,925 --> 00:14:29,394
Li-Like-like, I discovered
this whole other universe
378
00:14:29,395 --> 00:14:31,230
that I never knew existed,
379
00:14:31,231 --> 00:14:35,801
and it doesn't include calculus
or tests or old, dead wars.
380
00:14:35,802 --> 00:14:37,502
And now I live there.
381
00:14:37,503 --> 00:14:40,405
That's incredible. Really.
382
00:14:40,406 --> 00:14:41,540
I...
383
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:43,308
Love is a transformative experience.
384
00:14:43,309 --> 00:14:45,446
But until your grades improve,
385
00:14:45,447 --> 00:14:46,841
you're gonna have to
live in this universe
386
00:14:46,842 --> 00:14:48,113
- on weekdays.
- No. No, Dad, stop.
387
00:14:48,114 --> 00:14:49,948
No... what do you want me to do? Huh?
388
00:14:49,949 --> 00:14:52,417
Study for some tests that don't matter?
389
00:14:52,418 --> 00:14:53,518
Fine. I'll do it.
390
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:54,853
But you can't, you can't banish me...
391
00:14:54,854 --> 00:14:56,321
- "Banish"?
- ...from go... ban...
392
00:14:56,322 --> 00:14:59,491
I can't be contained by
borders in time or space, Dad.
393
00:14:59,492 --> 00:15:01,159
I love her.
394
00:15:02,428 --> 00:15:05,097
Well... and every great
love has obstacles.
395
00:15:05,098 --> 00:15:07,266
The hero has to have
something to overcome
396
00:15:07,267 --> 00:15:10,469
to prove that he's worthy.
397
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:12,737
Guess what yours is.
398
00:15:13,805 --> 00:15:16,073
Fine.
399
00:15:20,178 --> 00:15:21,680
- Hey.
- Hi.
400
00:15:21,681 --> 00:15:23,482
I've got an emergency protocol
briefing at the White House.
401
00:15:23,483 --> 00:15:25,584
- Oh.
- Ooh. It came in.
402
00:15:25,585 --> 00:15:27,486
Any news yet from the DNI?
403
00:15:27,487 --> 00:15:29,755
Uh, I just got off
the phone with Ephraim.
404
00:15:29,756 --> 00:15:31,757
Nothing from the I.C. yet
about Russia and smallpox,
405
00:15:31,758 --> 00:15:32,824
but he's still looking.
406
00:15:32,825 --> 00:15:34,459
Quarantine just broke on the news.
407
00:15:34,460 --> 00:15:35,694
Did we release that?
408
00:15:35,695 --> 00:15:37,462
The hospital; this
must have been a leak.
409
00:15:37,463 --> 00:15:38,697
Ma'am, I'm so sorry, but I wasn't able
410
00:15:38,698 --> 00:15:40,432
to reach Kat Sandoval
before she arrived.
411
00:15:40,433 --> 00:15:41,533
She's coming up?
412
00:15:41,534 --> 00:15:44,102
She's already here.
413
00:15:44,103 --> 00:15:45,404
Kat Sandoval.
414
00:15:45,405 --> 00:15:47,505
It's a pleasure to meet you, really.
415
00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:50,943
Uh, this is my chief
of staff, Jay Whitman.
416
00:15:50,944 --> 00:15:52,377
Hey. Great work with Ben Price
417
00:15:52,378 --> 00:15:54,112
- on sanctions in Iran.
- Oh, I was just teeing up
418
00:15:54,113 --> 00:15:55,247
your nuclear agreement.
419
00:15:55,248 --> 00:15:56,481
That was amazing.
420
00:15:56,482 --> 00:15:57,883
It all starts at the top, but thanks.
421
00:15:57,884 --> 00:15:59,952
This is my assistant, Blake Moran.
422
00:15:59,953 --> 00:16:01,186
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
423
00:16:01,187 --> 00:16:02,721
Now I have to reschedule you.
424
00:16:02,722 --> 00:16:06,491
Yes, I'm so sorry, but there's
an emergency White House thing.
425
00:16:06,492 --> 00:16:08,527
It must be smallpox. That's a doozy.
426
00:16:08,528 --> 00:16:10,128
Yeah. It is.
427
00:16:10,129 --> 00:16:11,797
Um, can we walk you out?
428
00:16:11,798 --> 00:16:12,995
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
429
00:16:12,996 --> 00:16:15,000
- You're enjoying the book tour?
- Uh, if by "enjoy,"
430
00:16:15,001 --> 00:16:16,535
you mean "enduring it
like a root canal," yes.
431
00:16:16,536 --> 00:16:19,004
I am much more comfortable
behind the scenes.
432
00:16:19,005 --> 00:16:22,874
Hmm. Well, we loved you
on, uh, Word of the Nation.
433
00:16:22,875 --> 00:16:25,043
- Oh.
- I told my daughter that I...
434
00:16:25,044 --> 00:16:27,980
genuinely envy your life right now.
435
00:16:27,981 --> 00:16:30,649
Don't tell me you're
thinking about checking out.
436
00:16:30,650 --> 00:16:32,384
Well, when the time comes.
437
00:16:32,385 --> 00:16:34,453
Well, I hope that isn't any time soon,
438
00:16:34,454 --> 00:16:36,688
because you are doing what so many of us
439
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:38,590
wanted to do for years.
440
00:16:38,591 --> 00:16:41,560
Getting Dalton to pivot
his whole foreign policy
441
00:16:41,561 --> 00:16:43,161
with that military base in Tunisia?
442
00:16:43,162 --> 00:16:44,363
That was fierce.
443
00:16:44,364 --> 00:16:46,465
A lot of people worked
together to make that happen.
444
00:16:46,466 --> 00:16:47,766
She's being modest.
445
00:16:47,767 --> 00:16:49,468
Stay in the game as long as you can.
446
00:16:49,469 --> 00:16:50,736
The farm will always be there.
447
00:16:50,737 --> 00:16:52,504
And I sleep a lot better
knowing that someone like you
448
00:16:52,505 --> 00:16:53,572
is at the switch.
449
00:16:53,573 --> 00:16:56,808
Well, this was the most encouraging walk
450
00:16:56,809 --> 00:16:58,276
to the elevator I've ever had.
451
00:16:58,277 --> 00:17:00,612
And I hate to cut it short, but...
452
00:17:00,613 --> 00:17:02,581
No, the pleasure was all mine. Really.
453
00:17:02,582 --> 00:17:04,249
Oh, listen. Um...
454
00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:06,585
Before I forget, and I
hate to ask you to do this,
455
00:17:06,586 --> 00:17:08,820
but would you sign that
to Russell Jackson for me?
456
00:17:08,821 --> 00:17:10,288
- Absolutely.
- Pen.
457
00:17:10,289 --> 00:17:12,824
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
458
00:17:12,825 --> 00:17:13,992
So, smallpox.
459
00:17:13,993 --> 00:17:15,727
You must be thinking
Russia gave it to the guy.
460
00:17:15,728 --> 00:17:17,129
How else could he get it, right?
461
00:17:17,130 --> 00:17:21,466
Except it's totally reckless,
even by Russia's standards.
462
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:23,368
Then again, the guy's an Eco-warrior,
463
00:17:23,369 --> 00:17:25,203
and there's nothing Russia hates more
464
00:17:25,204 --> 00:17:26,671
than an annoying dissident pointing out
465
00:17:26,672 --> 00:17:29,341
the ecological nightmare
of Russia's oil fields.
466
00:17:29,342 --> 00:17:30,842
We should, uh, really...
467
00:17:30,843 --> 00:17:32,010
But then it hit me.
468
00:17:32,011 --> 00:17:34,179
The oil spill in Siberia.
469
00:17:34,180 --> 00:17:35,647
That's how he got it.
470
00:17:35,648 --> 00:17:37,382
What do you mean?
471
00:17:37,383 --> 00:17:40,585
In Siberia, the permafrost is thawing.
472
00:17:40,586 --> 00:17:43,355
Unearthing all kinds of nastiness,
473
00:17:43,356 --> 00:17:45,390
including diseases that the
world thought were long dead.
474
00:17:45,391 --> 00:17:46,858
He must've gotten it
475
00:17:46,859 --> 00:17:48,927
when he was there taking
pictures of the oil spill.
476
00:17:48,928 --> 00:17:50,629
Zombie smallpox?
477
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:52,330
Should we continue this on the way down?
478
00:17:52,331 --> 00:17:53,865
Uh... Yeah.
479
00:17:53,866 --> 00:17:55,200
- Could...
- Yeah.
480
00:17:55,201 --> 00:17:56,735
One thing I learned
from the avocado farm,
481
00:17:56,736 --> 00:18:00,005
the Earth is basically
like a five-year-old.
482
00:18:00,006 --> 00:18:01,640
You give it everything
it wants... the best food
483
00:18:01,641 --> 00:18:05,010
and love and attention...
it is non-stop bounty, but...
484
00:18:05,011 --> 00:18:07,079
you pollute it with crap,
485
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,649
ignore all the signs that it
needs a nap and push it too far?
486
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:12,484
Pretty soon, you've got
an overlooked middle child
487
00:18:12,485 --> 00:18:16,353
who will demand your attention
by killing the babysitter.
488
00:18:18,557 --> 00:18:20,425
Anyway, yeah.
489
00:18:20,426 --> 00:18:22,794
Permafrost. That's where I would look.
490
00:18:31,770 --> 00:18:33,205
I'm not defending
491
00:18:33,206 --> 00:18:35,540
the history of communism.
492
00:18:35,541 --> 00:18:37,542
I'm saying it was a more
493
00:18:37,543 --> 00:18:41,947
fundamentally moral
system than capitalism.
494
00:18:43,216 --> 00:18:44,483
Okay, okay.
495
00:18:44,484 --> 00:18:46,017
We're not gonna solve this today,
496
00:18:46,018 --> 00:18:48,420
but let-let me le... let me
just leave you with one thing.
497
00:18:48,421 --> 00:18:49,988
In the ideological struggle
498
00:18:49,989 --> 00:18:52,290
between democracy and authoritarianism,
499
00:18:52,291 --> 00:18:54,526
I'm not here to question
what's right or wrong,
500
00:18:54,527 --> 00:18:57,429
but I will point out
that there's only one
501
00:18:57,430 --> 00:19:00,232
that allows you to question
what's right and wrong.
502
00:19:00,233 --> 00:19:01,600
Okay?
503
00:19:01,601 --> 00:19:03,635
Thank you... very good
discussion today. Thanks.
504
00:19:03,636 --> 00:19:06,637
Uh, paper topics by Friday, please.
505
00:19:11,543 --> 00:19:15,247
You know, I'm still not convinced.
506
00:19:15,248 --> 00:19:17,082
Yeah, I got that, Sal.
507
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:18,917
Why don't you take it up in your paper?
508
00:19:18,918 --> 00:19:24,722
You know, actually, I have a
thought I'd like to run by you.
509
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:28,727
I'm working on a DEA case,
510
00:19:28,728 --> 00:19:32,430
and a couple of weeks ago, this
FBI agent got his cover blown.
511
00:19:32,431 --> 00:19:35,400
Two years undercover with MS-13.
512
00:19:35,401 --> 00:19:38,970
Now, it got me thinking
about long-term effects
513
00:19:38,971 --> 00:19:43,642
of working deep cover, and if it's moral
514
00:19:43,643 --> 00:19:48,647
to ask someone to pretend
to be bad for a greater good?
515
00:19:48,648 --> 00:19:50,415
Well, that's very good.
516
00:19:50,416 --> 00:19:52,350
Complicated. I look
forward to reading it.
517
00:19:52,351 --> 00:19:54,618
Uh, thank you, sir.
518
00:19:56,988 --> 00:19:58,455
Hey, Sal.
519
00:19:59,958 --> 00:20:02,060
This agent, did he get out okay?
520
00:20:02,061 --> 00:20:04,862
He got out.
521
00:20:17,876 --> 00:20:19,177
Hey, Dylan.
522
00:20:19,178 --> 00:20:22,514
Listen, I need you to, uh,
look into a case for me.
523
00:20:22,515 --> 00:20:24,849
How does an eradicated disease
524
00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:26,518
just show up in Siberia?
525
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:31,022
Well, Mr. President, our
working theory is permafrost.
526
00:20:31,023 --> 00:20:32,290
The permanently frozen soil
527
00:20:32,291 --> 00:20:34,226
under the topsoil in Arctic regions.
528
00:20:34,227 --> 00:20:35,162
We're aware.
529
00:20:35,163 --> 00:20:37,862
Permafrost is so cold,
organic matter inside anything
530
00:20:37,863 --> 00:20:40,465
that dies in the Arctic
doesn't decompose.
531
00:20:40,466 --> 00:20:43,001
Carbon dioxide in plants,
532
00:20:43,002 --> 00:20:45,503
anthrax inside infected reindeer,
533
00:20:45,504 --> 00:20:47,572
smallpox in humans,
534
00:20:47,573 --> 00:20:50,809
remains frozen in the ground, dormant.
535
00:20:50,810 --> 00:20:52,644
Until the permafrost thaws,
536
00:20:52,645 --> 00:20:54,145
like it's doing in Siberia.
537
00:20:54,146 --> 00:20:56,615
Then, it all gets released.
538
00:20:56,616 --> 00:20:58,650
And the Arctic is warming twice as fast
539
00:20:58,651 --> 00:21:00,418
as the rest of the planet.
540
00:21:00,419 --> 00:21:02,792
So Russia isn't weaponizing smallpox.
541
00:21:03,468 --> 00:21:05,155
The Earth is.
542
00:21:06,291 --> 00:21:10,128
If we don't act fast to work
with Russia to contain this,
543
00:21:10,129 --> 00:21:12,863
we could be looking
at a global pandemic.
544
00:21:14,332 --> 00:21:16,768
Unfortunately, I think
we're better equipped
545
00:21:16,769 --> 00:21:19,504
to fight Mother Russia
than Mother Nature.
546
00:21:19,505 --> 00:21:23,441
Well, we're about to
do battle with both.
547
00:21:29,675 --> 00:21:32,222
Konstantin, I think there
was a misunderstanding
548
00:21:32,223 --> 00:21:33,456
last time we spoke.
549
00:21:33,457 --> 00:21:37,460
If you felt I implied in
any way that your government
550
00:21:37,461 --> 00:21:41,097
would deliberately infect its
own citizens with smallpox,
551
00:21:41,098 --> 00:21:42,098
I apologize.
552
00:21:42,099 --> 00:21:44,000
I had no evidence of that.
553
00:21:44,001 --> 00:21:45,735
I thank you.
554
00:21:45,736 --> 00:21:48,738
Once Artem Markevich has
recuperated and returned
555
00:21:48,739 --> 00:21:52,175
to Moscow, we can hopefully
put this behind us.
556
00:21:52,176 --> 00:21:54,110
Well, before we get to that,
557
00:21:54,111 --> 00:21:56,780
we need to talk about
where he got the illness.
558
00:21:56,781 --> 00:21:58,948
We've become aware of
the outbreak in Siberia,
559
00:21:58,949 --> 00:22:00,250
and we have some theories...
560
00:22:00,251 --> 00:22:02,652
I'm not aware of any such outbreak.
561
00:22:02,653 --> 00:22:04,788
Fortunately, it seems to be manageable.
562
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:06,790
And we're hoping that, with
the help of our CDC team,
563
00:22:06,791 --> 00:22:08,692
we can get it quickly contained.
564
00:22:08,693 --> 00:22:11,995
Any health crisis can be fully handled
565
00:22:11,996 --> 00:22:14,464
by our own health ministry.
566
00:22:14,465 --> 00:22:16,499
And I have to inform you,
567
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:19,536
unless you agree to return our citizen,
568
00:22:19,537 --> 00:22:23,673
all key U.S. diplomats will
be expelled from Russia,
569
00:22:23,674 --> 00:22:25,308
effective immediately.
570
00:22:25,309 --> 00:22:26,342
You don't want to do that.
571
00:22:26,343 --> 00:22:27,977
You know we have to respond.
572
00:22:27,978 --> 00:22:30,447
I'm afraid this is your doing,
573
00:22:30,448 --> 00:22:32,549
Madam Secretary.
574
00:22:32,550 --> 00:22:34,551
Um, I'm sorry, ma'am.
The hospital called.
575
00:22:34,552 --> 00:22:37,319
Artem Markevich has taken
a turn for the worse.
576
00:22:38,555 --> 00:22:40,890
I looked into your student's story
577
00:22:40,891 --> 00:22:42,625
about that blown undercover agent.
578
00:22:42,626 --> 00:22:43,593
And?
579
00:22:43,594 --> 00:22:44,828
It's all pretty straightforward,
580
00:22:44,829 --> 00:22:46,695
but I found something else.
581
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:53,269
There's an interagency task force
582
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:55,171
doing a review of the entire
intelligence community.
583
00:22:55,172 --> 00:22:58,975
Agents blown, assets
killed or compromised.
584
00:22:58,976 --> 00:23:01,177
I called in a huge favor
585
00:23:01,178 --> 00:23:03,079
and got a list of
their initial findings.
586
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,614
All of this in the last month?
587
00:23:04,615 --> 00:23:06,182
Right when Nafisa got taken.
588
00:23:06,183 --> 00:23:08,451
I mean, maybe it's just a coincidence.
589
00:23:08,452 --> 00:23:11,421
Or maybe the CIA isn't the
only agency dealing with a leak.
590
00:23:11,422 --> 00:23:12,689
It's got to be a hack, right?
591
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:15,692
I mean, all these operations
are compartmentalized.
592
00:23:15,693 --> 00:23:18,394
The only people that have
security clearance high enough
593
00:23:18,395 --> 00:23:20,063
to know about all these different ops...
594
00:23:20,064 --> 00:23:21,998
You're right. It's got to be a hack.
595
00:23:21,999 --> 00:23:23,999
I'll handle this from here. Thank you.
596
00:23:38,515 --> 00:23:41,084
I'm glad to finally
welcome you in person.
597
00:23:41,085 --> 00:23:42,552
Well, uh,
598
00:23:42,553 --> 00:23:45,622
it's not how I imagined it.
599
00:23:45,623 --> 00:23:48,424
I'm so sorry for what
you're going through.
600
00:23:48,425 --> 00:23:52,762
You have to admire the irony.
601
00:23:52,763 --> 00:23:55,398
I devote my life to saving Earth,
602
00:23:55,399 --> 00:23:58,601
and this is the thanks I get.
603
00:23:58,602 --> 00:24:01,004
Well, I'm thanking you, Artem.
604
00:24:01,005 --> 00:24:03,106
And the world will thank you.
605
00:24:09,313 --> 00:24:11,948
And the others on the plane?
606
00:24:11,949 --> 00:24:16,286
They're being monitored, but
it seems they're gonna be okay.
607
00:24:16,287 --> 00:24:20,889
And Russia is working hard to
contain the Siberian outbreak.
608
00:24:26,797 --> 00:24:29,165
Listen, you should rest.
609
00:24:29,166 --> 00:24:33,368
And then I am gonna take you
on the most VIP tour of D.C.
610
00:24:36,773 --> 00:24:40,109
No monuments.
611
00:24:40,110 --> 00:24:42,611
I just want to see the blue sky.
612
00:24:56,547 --> 00:24:58,228
That was a long day.
613
00:24:58,229 --> 00:25:00,230
Endless.
614
00:25:00,231 --> 00:25:02,999
Hey.
615
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,036
How did, uh, how did it go with Jace?
616
00:25:09,006 --> 00:25:11,241
I think I'm still processing it.
617
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,610
What happened?
618
00:25:13,611 --> 00:25:16,613
Well, I told him we wanted
to limit his time with Piper
619
00:25:16,614 --> 00:25:19,082
on school nights, and he freaked out.
620
00:25:19,083 --> 00:25:20,683
He said we wanted to banish him.
621
00:25:20,684 --> 00:25:22,018
"Banish"?
622
00:25:22,019 --> 00:25:23,386
He actually said that?
623
00:25:23,387 --> 00:25:25,021
Ah, he went full-on John Keats.
624
00:25:25,022 --> 00:25:27,056
Oh.
625
00:25:27,057 --> 00:25:28,324
Is he in love?
626
00:25:28,325 --> 00:25:30,226
He said, "Dad, I love her."
627
00:25:30,227 --> 00:25:32,996
Oh, that is so adorable.
628
00:25:32,997 --> 00:25:34,631
- Right?
- Yeah, it's adorable.
629
00:25:34,632 --> 00:25:36,699
It's also kind of tragic.
630
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:39,435
I mean, he has no idea how
it's gonna feel when this ends.
631
00:25:39,436 --> 00:25:41,170
- Oh, come on. It's puppy love.
- Well...
632
00:25:41,171 --> 00:25:42,238
He'll be okay.
633
00:25:42,239 --> 00:25:44,474
It's way past puppy love.
634
00:25:44,475 --> 00:25:47,010
This is... all the way.
635
00:25:47,011 --> 00:25:49,479
All the way, all the way?
636
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,215
- Yeah.
- Oh, no. No, no. He's too young.
637
00:25:52,216 --> 00:25:53,349
He's not ten anymore.
638
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:55,118
16 is too young. He's not ready.
639
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,552
We need to have the talk.
640
00:25:56,553 --> 00:25:57,587
We already did. We
already talked to him.
641
00:25:57,588 --> 00:25:59,122
No, that was the kids version.
642
00:25:59,123 --> 00:26:01,925
We need to get the NC-17 version,
643
00:26:01,926 --> 00:26:04,560
with the warnings and the fear.
644
00:26:04,561 --> 00:26:06,095
And the beauty and the transcendence.
645
00:26:06,096 --> 00:26:09,632
I'm sure he understands
the "sex feels good" part.
646
00:26:09,633 --> 00:26:11,701
The other stuff we need to hit.
647
00:26:11,702 --> 00:26:13,136
Okay. I'll talk to him.
648
00:26:13,137 --> 00:26:14,904
No offense,
649
00:26:14,905 --> 00:26:18,041
but do you think maybe that
I should be a part of it?
650
00:26:18,042 --> 00:26:19,943
I mean, I know, I know it's weird,
651
00:26:19,944 --> 00:26:21,244
but it's a new day.
652
00:26:21,245 --> 00:26:23,112
I mean, he could benefit
from a woman's perspective.
653
00:26:23,113 --> 00:26:24,881
- Babe, uh...
- No? Too weird?
654
00:26:24,882 --> 00:26:27,417
Look, you talked to the
girls. I'll talk to Jason.
655
00:26:27,418 --> 00:26:29,718
Uh, Jay, yes.
656
00:26:31,521 --> 00:26:34,824
Oh, that's awful.
657
00:26:34,825 --> 00:26:37,293
Okay.
658
00:26:37,294 --> 00:26:38,695
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
659
00:26:38,696 --> 00:26:41,764
Thank you for letting me know.
660
00:26:41,765 --> 00:26:43,032
What was that?
661
00:26:43,033 --> 00:26:47,770
Artem Markevich, the dissident
we took in from Russia...
662
00:26:47,771 --> 00:26:50,038
he died.
663
00:26:55,236 --> 00:26:59,790
After Artem literally gave his
life trying to save this planet,
664
00:26:59,791 --> 00:27:01,459
I mean, I can't help but thinking
665
00:27:01,460 --> 00:27:04,328
that there is more that we could do.
666
00:27:04,329 --> 00:27:06,364
I mean, yes, we are taking care
667
00:27:06,365 --> 00:27:08,299
of our carbon footprint,
668
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:11,602
but I know that there's
more that we can do,
669
00:27:11,603 --> 00:27:14,295
especially around saving the permafrost.
670
00:27:14,296 --> 00:27:16,464
So, no filters.
671
00:27:16,465 --> 00:27:18,700
I mean, let's hear it... your best
672
00:27:18,701 --> 00:27:21,269
half-past-midnight,
out-of-the-box ideas.
673
00:27:21,270 --> 00:27:22,237
Anything.
674
00:27:22,238 --> 00:27:25,340
Okay.
675
00:27:25,341 --> 00:27:28,543
This one is a stretch.
676
00:27:28,544 --> 00:27:30,211
Literally.
677
00:27:30,212 --> 00:27:32,914
Uh, a glaciologist
wants to stretch Mylar
678
00:27:32,915 --> 00:27:34,849
over the entire North Pole.
679
00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:39,287
Sort of, um, a giant
UV reflecting blanket.
680
00:27:39,288 --> 00:27:40,989
How does anything stay alive under it?
681
00:27:40,990 --> 00:27:43,350
I think that's supposed to be
an acceptable margin of error.
682
00:27:44,326 --> 00:27:46,594
Right, there's a...
683
00:27:46,595 --> 00:27:49,397
There's this pretty cutting
edge geoengineering idea
684
00:27:49,398 --> 00:27:51,099
of suspending giant
685
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:52,967
helium-filled balloons over lakes,
686
00:27:52,968 --> 00:27:55,303
which, uh, pump water up
687
00:27:55,304 --> 00:27:59,807
into a gas that then releases
heat-absorbing crystals.
688
00:27:59,808 --> 00:28:02,443
Are there any risk factors?
689
00:28:02,444 --> 00:28:04,879
Well, it's completely
untested. No one knows.
690
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,549
Anyone have anything a
little closer to the box?
691
00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:10,084
Woolly mammoths!
692
00:28:10,085 --> 00:28:11,619
Good morning. Sorry, I'm completely
693
00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:13,021
out of practice with traffic.
694
00:28:13,022 --> 00:28:14,656
Where did all those cars come from?
695
00:28:14,657 --> 00:28:16,324
Everybody,
696
00:28:16,325 --> 00:28:17,825
this is Kat Sandoval.
697
00:28:17,826 --> 00:28:20,962
She is the reason we are
talking about permafrost.
698
00:28:20,963 --> 00:28:22,363
And woolly mammoths.
699
00:28:22,364 --> 00:28:25,499
Right. Okay. So...
700
00:28:27,201 --> 00:28:32,607
In the Arctic, you've
got your permafrost.
701
00:28:32,608 --> 00:28:34,709
Above that, you've got
702
00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:39,513
a thin layer of topsoil where
the grass grows, et cetera.
703
00:28:41,182 --> 00:28:43,785
During the winter, the snow
704
00:28:43,786 --> 00:28:47,288
piles up on the topsoil.
705
00:28:47,289 --> 00:28:49,090
So now you're probably thinking, "Sweet.
706
00:28:49,091 --> 00:28:50,958
The snow will keep it
cool." Right? Wrong.
707
00:28:50,959 --> 00:28:53,494
What keeps the ground cool is
708
00:28:53,495 --> 00:28:56,464
the cold air blowing through the tundra.
709
00:28:56,465 --> 00:29:00,401
But this snow is actually
acting like a down comforter,
710
00:29:00,402 --> 00:29:03,503
preventing the air
from cooling the ground.
711
00:29:05,206 --> 00:29:07,842
Well, back in the Ice Age,
712
00:29:07,843 --> 00:29:09,843
this wasn't a problem because...
713
00:29:11,546 --> 00:29:13,915
...woolly mammoths existed
714
00:29:13,916 --> 00:29:15,750
to kick the covers off
715
00:29:15,751 --> 00:29:18,419
by trampling the snow.
716
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:22,656
This would be the
extinct woolly mammoth?
717
00:29:24,325 --> 00:29:27,095
There is a group of scientists
working on a mammoth clone,
718
00:29:27,096 --> 00:29:29,030
but we are much closer
719
00:29:29,031 --> 00:29:30,631
to a mammoth-elephant hybrid.
720
00:29:30,632 --> 00:29:32,600
So, to review, we have
721
00:29:32,601 --> 00:29:36,571
giant plastic blanket, gas cloud
theory that's never been tested,
722
00:29:36,572 --> 00:29:40,641
and reanimating prehistoric animals.
723
00:29:40,642 --> 00:29:43,611
It could also work with
bison, musk ox, uh, reindeer...
724
00:29:43,612 --> 00:29:45,513
Caribou. Yes, you feel me.
725
00:29:45,514 --> 00:29:47,515
We need snow tramplers.
726
00:29:47,516 --> 00:29:49,617
There was a study where
they reintroduced livestock
727
00:29:49,618 --> 00:29:51,419
to a contained area, and
the permafrost temperature
728
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:52,520
was remarkably cooler.
729
00:29:52,521 --> 00:29:53,788
What about tanks?
730
00:29:53,789 --> 00:29:56,324
Would-would tanks have a
similar snow-trampling effect?
731
00:29:56,325 --> 00:29:58,493
Possibly, but...
732
00:29:58,494 --> 00:30:01,629
the whole idea is to reintroduce
Ice Age plant life, too.
733
00:30:01,630 --> 00:30:04,232
Reintroducing Arctic flora and fauna...
734
00:30:04,233 --> 00:30:05,867
I-I can sell that.
735
00:30:05,868 --> 00:30:07,735
All right, we could start small,
736
00:30:07,736 --> 00:30:09,871
instituting pilot programs
in countries with permafrost.
737
00:30:09,872 --> 00:30:11,873
If there's improvement,
expand from there.
738
00:30:11,874 --> 00:30:14,575
We'd have to get every country
with permafrost on board.
739
00:30:14,576 --> 00:30:16,144
Russia has the most.
740
00:30:16,145 --> 00:30:19,579
Good thing we're on such
good terms with them.
741
00:30:21,315 --> 00:30:23,551
We checked with our climatologists.
742
00:30:23,552 --> 00:30:25,886
The science holds water.
743
00:30:26,754 --> 00:30:29,157
Ecosystem restoration could have
744
00:30:29,158 --> 00:30:32,160
a real effect on saving permafrost.
745
00:30:32,161 --> 00:30:34,461
By bringing back woolly mammoths.
746
00:30:36,130 --> 00:30:38,566
I don't remember that
kind of thing going well
747
00:30:38,567 --> 00:30:39,801
in Jurassic Park.
748
00:30:39,802 --> 00:30:42,937
We'd start with bison,
moose and reindeer.
749
00:30:42,938 --> 00:30:44,439
It's worth a shot.
750
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,975
You have my okay for a
pilot program in Alaska.
751
00:30:47,976 --> 00:30:50,378
Okay, great. Canada is a lock.
752
00:30:50,379 --> 00:30:52,346
Greenland will be receptive.
753
00:30:52,347 --> 00:30:53,648
What about Russia?
754
00:30:53,649 --> 00:30:55,249
Yeah.
755
00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:57,985
Avdonin's ghosting me, so
I'm gonna have to go to Moscow
756
00:30:57,986 --> 00:31:00,988
and put it in front of him.
757
00:31:00,989 --> 00:31:07,127
It would help if I had
a free hand to negotiate.
758
00:31:08,863 --> 00:31:10,631
What are you thinking?
759
00:31:10,632 --> 00:31:15,102
Hold off on expelling
Russia's diplomats.
760
00:31:15,103 --> 00:31:16,671
I don't like letting that go unanswered.
761
00:31:16,672 --> 00:31:17,905
Makes us look weak.
762
00:31:17,906 --> 00:31:19,106
They've already agreed
763
00:31:19,107 --> 00:31:21,309
to let the CDC help
contain this first outbreak.
764
00:31:21,310 --> 00:31:22,844
I think they're ready to bargain,
765
00:31:22,845 --> 00:31:26,180
especially when I tell them
about these giant bubbles
766
00:31:26,181 --> 00:31:29,350
of methane gas and CO2
that will be released
767
00:31:29,351 --> 00:31:31,552
when the permafrost finally melts,
768
00:31:31,553 --> 00:31:35,723
basically rendering our
planet uninhabitable.
769
00:31:35,724 --> 00:31:39,327
Hell, if that doesn't
convince them to try to fix it,
770
00:31:39,328 --> 00:31:42,195
I don't know what will.
771
00:31:43,631 --> 00:31:45,600
All right, Bess.
772
00:31:45,601 --> 00:31:47,001
Give it a shot.
773
00:31:47,002 --> 00:31:49,035
Thank you, sir.
774
00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:50,571
So, Moscow.
775
00:31:50,572 --> 00:31:52,306
Anything I need to know?
776
00:31:52,307 --> 00:31:55,576
No. Another climate initiative.
777
00:31:55,577 --> 00:31:57,879
Let's hope maybe this
one does something.
778
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,582
Oh, hey, how'd the talk go with Keats?
779
00:32:01,583 --> 00:32:03,518
Oh, it hasn't happened yet.
780
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:05,987
Henry, come on. I'm
getting a little antsy here.
781
00:32:05,988 --> 00:32:07,822
Could you get it done by the weekend?
782
00:32:07,823 --> 00:32:08,890
Definitely, yeah.
783
00:32:08,891 --> 00:32:10,358
Uh, you know, it's not gonna be
784
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:12,260
the same talk you gave
the girls, exactly.
785
00:32:12,261 --> 00:32:14,428
Why not?
786
00:32:14,429 --> 00:32:16,764
Well, you know, I thought
I'd... do the basics.
787
00:32:16,765 --> 00:32:18,499
Risk of pregnancy, STDs...
788
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:19,767
Not letting yourself get pressured
789
00:32:19,768 --> 00:32:21,836
into anything you're not ready for,
790
00:32:21,837 --> 00:32:23,304
giving and getting consent.
791
00:32:23,305 --> 00:32:24,505
- All that's the same.
- True.
792
00:32:24,506 --> 00:32:26,674
And then I would get
into how physical intimacy
793
00:32:26,675 --> 00:32:28,576
is all tied in with emotional intimacy.
794
00:32:28,577 --> 00:32:30,211
I mean, how that can feel really good,
795
00:32:30,212 --> 00:32:31,979
but it can also really break your heart.
796
00:32:31,980 --> 00:32:34,482
I mean, ending a, uh,
sexual relationship
797
00:32:34,483 --> 00:32:37,285
is a lot more difficult
than ending a nonsexual one.
798
00:32:37,286 --> 00:32:40,187
You know what, maybe we
should do this together.
799
00:32:40,188 --> 00:32:41,789
Really?
800
00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:43,113
Because I was getting very okay
801
00:32:43,114 --> 00:32:44,554
with you doing it by yourself.
802
00:32:44,555 --> 00:32:46,193
No, you were right, you were right.
803
00:32:46,194 --> 00:32:48,663
I think he could benefit
from your perspective.
804
00:32:48,664 --> 00:32:50,798
- How much time do you have?
- You want to do it now?
805
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,466
No, I can't.
806
00:32:52,467 --> 00:32:54,390
I mean, I have to be out
the door in ten minutes.
807
00:32:54,391 --> 00:32:55,341
Well, that's perfect.
808
00:32:55,342 --> 00:32:57,572
No time to overthink. Just in and out.
809
00:32:57,573 --> 00:33:00,708
So to speak.
810
00:33:00,709 --> 00:33:02,076
Okay.
811
00:33:07,615 --> 00:33:09,684
Jace, the thing we're
trying to say to you is...
812
00:33:09,685 --> 00:33:11,552
- Sex kills.
- What?
813
00:33:11,553 --> 00:33:15,456
What-what Mom means is
that when-when you have sex,
814
00:33:15,457 --> 00:33:17,224
there are consequences
that you might not be
815
00:33:17,225 --> 00:33:19,360
- ready to deal with.
- Things that could alter the whole rest of your life.
816
00:33:19,361 --> 00:33:21,329
I mean, it's emotional. It's thrilling.
817
00:33:21,330 --> 00:33:24,332
But you got to think about
things like, you know,
818
00:33:24,333 --> 00:33:25,533
unwanted pregnancy and diseases...
819
00:33:25,534 --> 00:33:27,134
Guys, we're not having sex.
820
00:33:27,135 --> 00:33:29,804
- What was that?
- You're not?
821
00:33:29,805 --> 00:33:32,206
No, I...
822
00:33:32,207 --> 00:33:35,710
Okay, Piper feels that when
you have a spiritual connection
823
00:33:35,711 --> 00:33:38,145
like we do, sex isn't necessary,
824
00:33:38,146 --> 00:33:40,313
so we're-we're just kind of above that.
825
00:33:42,016 --> 00:33:43,718
Are we good?
826
00:33:43,719 --> 00:33:46,686
- Yup, we're good.
- I think that covers it. Yeah.
827
00:33:48,723 --> 00:33:52,025
Piper's parents beat us to the punch.
828
00:33:53,628 --> 00:33:55,730
Good messaging, though.
829
00:33:55,731 --> 00:33:57,798
"Sex kills"?
830
00:33:57,799 --> 00:33:59,500
I know. I saw the
ten-year-old and I panicked.
831
00:33:59,501 --> 00:34:02,205
- That's good messaging? Sex...
- I know...
832
00:34:09,369 --> 00:34:12,672
Boy, Kat, you are a
difficult person to find.
833
00:34:12,673 --> 00:34:16,643
And I'm sorry to intrude and
I promise from now on out,
834
00:34:16,644 --> 00:34:18,811
all of our conversations
will be about avocados
835
00:34:18,812 --> 00:34:21,147
and how incredibly cool your hair is.
836
00:34:21,148 --> 00:34:23,550
But right now I have a plane
waiting for me on the tarmac
837
00:34:23,551 --> 00:34:26,586
and I have been over
and over the research.
838
00:34:26,587 --> 00:34:27,787
Hang on a second.
839
00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:29,956
Can I get a coffee to
go, please? Thank you.
840
00:34:29,957 --> 00:34:31,758
- Why don't you try a veggie kebab?
- I don't have time.
841
00:34:31,759 --> 00:34:34,460
I can't. You know, okay.
842
00:34:34,461 --> 00:34:37,530
Um, can you, can you add
a kebab to that order?
843
00:34:37,531 --> 00:34:39,831
Thank you.
844
00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:41,801
You were looking at the research.
845
00:34:41,802 --> 00:34:43,836
For the woolly mammoth
initiative. Right.
846
00:34:43,837 --> 00:34:46,306
So...
847
00:34:46,307 --> 00:34:50,009
I understand science
and I know that we...
848
00:34:50,010 --> 00:34:52,812
There you go.
849
00:34:52,813 --> 00:34:54,847
...I know I can get Russia to sign off.
850
00:34:54,848 --> 00:34:56,716
But I don't want this to be a thing
851
00:34:56,717 --> 00:34:59,185
where they agree for the optics
852
00:34:59,186 --> 00:35:01,421
and then nothing really happens.
853
00:35:01,422 --> 00:35:04,023
I mean, how do we make this agreement
854
00:35:04,024 --> 00:35:08,027
something that Russia actually
wants to follow through on?
855
00:35:08,028 --> 00:35:11,064
Um, because a smallpox outbreak
856
00:35:11,065 --> 00:35:13,199
or the fact that everything built
857
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,168
on top of permafrost can...
858
00:35:15,169 --> 00:35:17,069
drop into a sinkhole isn't enough?
859
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,640
- Here's what we're up against.
- Hmm?
860
00:35:20,641 --> 00:35:24,777
Melting permafrost makes
Arctic oil easier to drill.
861
00:35:24,778 --> 00:35:28,214
Right.
862
00:35:29,950 --> 00:35:32,117
Okay.
863
00:35:33,886 --> 00:35:36,688
Peat moss.
864
00:35:38,958 --> 00:35:41,361
Peat moss.
865
00:35:41,362 --> 00:35:45,531
Or as you like to
call it, torfjanoj moh.
866
00:35:45,532 --> 00:35:47,367
The magic stuff that you put in gardens
867
00:35:47,368 --> 00:35:49,269
and it makes everything grow.
868
00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:51,704
Yes, we have used it as fuel.
869
00:35:51,705 --> 00:35:52,905
I know, right?
870
00:35:52,906 --> 00:35:56,242
So many uses, which is
why it gets overmined.
871
00:35:56,243 --> 00:35:59,379
You know what else
peat moss is great for?
872
00:35:59,380 --> 00:36:02,915
Keeping the ground temperature stable.
873
00:36:02,916 --> 00:36:04,917
So, whereas
874
00:36:04,918 --> 00:36:08,855
a blanket of snow warms the permafrost,
875
00:36:08,856 --> 00:36:12,358
a layer of peat on top of the permafrost
876
00:36:12,359 --> 00:36:15,995
acts like insulation, so the
ground doesn't warm or cool.
877
00:36:15,996 --> 00:36:18,031
It just stays stable.
878
00:36:18,032 --> 00:36:19,198
That's what we need.
879
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:20,533
What are you asking?
880
00:36:20,534 --> 00:36:24,737
Next to Canada, Russia
has the second largest
881
00:36:24,738 --> 00:36:27,006
area of peat bogs in the world.
882
00:36:27,007 --> 00:36:29,909
Now, I-I know that Russia needs access
883
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:31,644
to its natural resources,
884
00:36:31,645 --> 00:36:34,681
so we're not asking
you to stop drilling.
885
00:36:34,682 --> 00:36:38,251
But if you can agree to avoid
the areas where there's peat
886
00:36:38,252 --> 00:36:41,054
and work to preserve what remains,
887
00:36:41,055 --> 00:36:44,924
that will buy us all another
100 years on this planet.
888
00:36:44,925 --> 00:36:46,528
Of course, if we work together,
889
00:36:46,529 --> 00:36:47,914
we could buy more time than that.
890
00:36:47,915 --> 00:36:53,019
As much as I appreciate this
personal appeal, Elizabeth,
891
00:36:53,020 --> 00:36:55,555
- the situation with the...
- No, I know, I know.
892
00:36:55,556 --> 00:36:58,258
We're not in a great position right now
893
00:36:58,259 --> 00:36:59,659
to be asking for favors.
894
00:36:59,660 --> 00:37:03,796
But in the spirit of reconciliation,
895
00:37:03,797 --> 00:37:07,600
President Dalton has agreed
not to expel your diplomats
896
00:37:07,601 --> 00:37:11,336
if we can come to an agreement on this.
897
00:37:12,772 --> 00:37:13,973
I mean, come on, why don't you say
898
00:37:13,974 --> 00:37:16,743
we take a step to save the planet
899
00:37:16,744 --> 00:37:19,879
and bring our countries back together?
900
00:37:24,183 --> 00:37:25,718
Okay.
901
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,555
Elizabeth, I pledge to
do everything in my power
902
00:37:29,556 --> 00:37:33,658
to ensure our participation
in your program.
903
00:37:35,428 --> 00:37:37,997
I have to tell you...
904
00:37:37,998 --> 00:37:41,401
this agreement only
applies to this deal.
905
00:37:41,402 --> 00:37:44,302
We're still expelling your diplomats.
906
00:37:53,546 --> 00:37:57,917
It is with great pride
that Canada joins the U.S.,
907
00:37:57,918 --> 00:38:01,788
Greenland, Russia and China
in this groundbreaking... _
908
00:38:01,789 --> 00:38:04,657
or maybe we should
say ground-freezing...
909
00:38:04,658 --> 00:38:09,028
initiative to protect our permafrost.
910
00:38:09,029 --> 00:38:11,431
Thank you, Jonas.
911
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:21,274
What's this?
912
00:38:21,275 --> 00:38:23,643
Just a little something to
celebrate the successful launch
913
00:38:23,644 --> 00:38:25,812
of the Permafrost Protection Project.
914
00:38:25,813 --> 00:38:28,281
I thought popsicles were more
appropriate than champagne.
915
00:38:28,282 --> 00:38:30,350
Could've gotten champagne popsicles.
916
00:38:30,351 --> 00:38:31,784
Does that exist?
917
00:38:31,785 --> 00:38:32,919
If it doesn't, it should.
918
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,954
- Yeah.
- You know what's surprising?
919
00:38:34,955 --> 00:38:38,725
9:00 a.m. is not too
early for popsicles.
920
00:38:38,726 --> 00:38:40,727
Ma'am, the press conference
is confirmed for noon.
921
00:38:40,728 --> 00:38:41,995
Also, just a reminder,
you have Kat Sandoval
922
00:38:41,996 --> 00:38:43,363
waiting in your office for you.
923
00:38:43,364 --> 00:38:45,798
Final policy advisor
interviews at 11:00.
924
00:38:45,799 --> 00:38:47,033
I know, I know.
925
00:38:47,034 --> 00:38:49,836
I'm going to pull the trigger
on that today. Promise.
926
00:38:49,837 --> 00:38:53,473
It's great to see you again.
927
00:38:53,474 --> 00:38:55,041
I was just heading back
to California and I wanted
928
00:38:55,042 --> 00:38:56,309
to congratulate you.
929
00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:58,711
- I heard Project Woolly Mammoth is a go.
- Yes.
930
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:01,080
We managed to get full participation.
931
00:39:01,081 --> 00:39:03,016
Well, 'cause you didn't call
it Project Woolly Mammoth.
932
00:39:03,017 --> 00:39:04,384
Because we had your help.
933
00:39:04,385 --> 00:39:05,985
Thank you, really, for everything.
934
00:39:05,986 --> 00:39:07,253
Oh, please.
935
00:39:07,254 --> 00:39:09,689
Oh, also, I wanted to give you this.
936
00:39:09,690 --> 00:39:12,025
You can keep the joke
copy for Russell Jackson.
937
00:39:12,026 --> 00:39:14,027
I know he thinks I'm nuts,
but this one's for you.
938
00:39:14,028 --> 00:39:18,297
Good luck on the avocado farm.
939
00:39:18,298 --> 00:39:20,400
Uh, could we have a word?
940
00:39:20,401 --> 00:39:22,735
Yes, of course. Sure.
941
00:39:26,773 --> 00:39:28,274
I hate the farm.
942
00:39:28,275 --> 00:39:32,378
Avocados, they make no sense.
943
00:39:32,379 --> 00:39:35,481
I thought they did, but they don't.
944
00:39:35,482 --> 00:39:38,885
But working with you this week...
945
00:39:38,886 --> 00:39:40,987
that made sense.
946
00:39:40,988 --> 00:39:46,225
Well, now I'm really confused
because, I mean, I thought...
947
00:39:46,226 --> 00:39:47,994
No, I know, I know. I know.
948
00:39:47,995 --> 00:39:50,029
I wrote a whole book
949
00:39:50,030 --> 00:39:53,666
about how the farm saved me and
I completely meant it because,
950
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:54,967
I don't know if you've heard,
951
00:39:54,968 --> 00:39:57,103
but, uh, I am nothing
if not fully committed.
952
00:39:57,104 --> 00:39:59,672
I might've heard something about that.
953
00:39:59,673 --> 00:40:01,040
Yeah, about those stories.
954
00:40:01,041 --> 00:40:03,576
They're all true.
955
00:40:03,577 --> 00:40:06,979
Well, they do keep
getting one part wrong.
956
00:40:06,980 --> 00:40:08,947
I didn't throw a chair.
957
00:40:09,949 --> 00:40:12,952
I threw a table...
958
00:40:12,953 --> 00:40:15,288
at a chair...
959
00:40:15,289 --> 00:40:17,890
of the Armed Services Committee.
960
00:40:17,891 --> 00:40:21,828
We had just been, uh, traveling
through Southeast Asia,
961
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:23,930
setting up aid programs
when I found out this guy
962
00:40:23,931 --> 00:40:25,898
had let himself get bribed
963
00:40:25,899 --> 00:40:29,302
in the... the dumbest way imaginable
964
00:40:29,303 --> 00:40:32,338
and I just lost it.
965
00:40:32,339 --> 00:40:34,774
Do I regret it? Of course.
966
00:40:34,775 --> 00:40:37,510
And I worked like hell to get
those people to trust me again,
967
00:40:37,511 --> 00:40:39,378
but the problem was I didn't trust them.
968
00:40:39,379 --> 00:40:41,214
The day I quit was the day I realized
969
00:40:41,215 --> 00:40:43,615
I didn't want to have to
throw furniture anymore.
970
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:48,020
But then you tracked
me down at a pita place
971
00:40:48,021 --> 00:40:49,522
to talk about permafrost...
972
00:40:49,523 --> 00:40:51,324
Yeah, sorry about ambushing your meal.
973
00:40:51,325 --> 00:40:52,492
No, no, no, I loved it.
974
00:40:52,493 --> 00:40:53,860
You knew you didn't have it yet
975
00:40:53,861 --> 00:40:56,262
and you weren't gonna
stop until you did.
976
00:40:56,263 --> 00:40:58,263
Do you know how rare that is?
977
00:40:59,332 --> 00:41:02,802
Look, all I wanted to say was
978
00:41:02,803 --> 00:41:05,071
I know you're looking
for a policy advisor
979
00:41:05,072 --> 00:41:06,606
and I want to throw my hat in the ring.
980
00:41:06,607 --> 00:41:11,844
I am open-minded but decisive.
981
00:41:11,845 --> 00:41:15,648
I will walk through fire to
make things happen for you
982
00:41:15,649 --> 00:41:19,618
and I promise my furniture
- throwing days are over.
983
00:41:21,354 --> 00:41:25,223
You had me at permafrost.
984
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:33,399
She actually threw a table at a senator.
985
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,637
I mean, how often is the real
story even worse than the rumor?
986
00:41:40,139 --> 00:41:43,276
You think I'm crazy for hiring her.
987
00:41:43,277 --> 00:41:44,977
What?
988
00:41:44,978 --> 00:41:46,846
Sorry.
989
00:41:46,847 --> 00:41:49,115
Look, I think I need to talk.
990
00:41:49,116 --> 00:41:51,083
It's about the leak
991
00:41:51,084 --> 00:41:53,618
that led to Nafisa being taken.
992
00:41:55,321 --> 00:41:57,190
Who was it?
993
00:41:57,191 --> 00:41:58,391
I still don't know.
994
00:41:58,392 --> 00:42:00,159
There's a task force
looking at the agents
995
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,394
being blown in multiple departments.
996
00:42:04,096 --> 00:42:06,465
Okay. So, they're looking into it.
997
00:42:06,466 --> 00:42:08,668
- That's good.
- But the blown ops,
998
00:42:08,669 --> 00:42:11,971
in order to have access
to that level of Intel,
999
00:42:11,972 --> 00:42:13,873
you'd have to be on
the president's cabinet.
1000
00:42:13,874 --> 00:42:15,173
Which is crazy.
1001
00:42:16,876 --> 00:42:19,144
I know.
1002
00:42:22,014 --> 00:42:24,515
That leaves only eight
other people it could be.
1003
00:42:24,516 --> 00:42:25,598
Henry.
1004
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:28,254
Someone in the
Congressional Gang of Eight
1005
00:42:28,255 --> 00:42:30,823
could be selling out our country.
1006
00:42:30,824 --> 00:42:34,126
I don't know who. I don't know why.
1007
00:42:34,127 --> 00:42:38,263
And I hope to hell I'm
wrong, but what if I'm not?
1008
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:48,491
