1
00:00:06,385 --> 00:00:07,786
Julie, honey, don't move.
2
00:00:07,787 --> 00:00:09,321
- Okay? Just...
- Just stay.
3
00:00:09,322 --> 00:00:11,056
- Just don't move.
- Stay, just-just stay right where you are.
4
00:00:11,057 --> 00:00:12,557
- Stay very still, sweetheart. You're okay.
- Everything's fine.
5
00:00:12,558 --> 00:00:13,992
- Everything's fine.
- No, stay...
6
00:00:13,993 --> 00:00:15,960
- Will somebody please call for help?
- Mom?
7
00:00:15,961 --> 00:00:17,418
Everything's fine. We
need help over here!
8
00:00:17,419 --> 00:00:18,685
You're okay, baby. You're gonna be fine.
9
00:00:18,686 --> 00:00:20,297
- You're all right.
- Mom?
10
00:00:24,135 --> 00:00:25,704
Can you imagine?
11
00:00:25,705 --> 00:00:28,473
Why is the chopper up so high?
12
00:00:28,474 --> 00:00:30,208
So its downdraft doesn't
set the mines off.
13
00:00:30,209 --> 00:00:31,910
- Yeah.
- All right, Julie.
14
00:00:31,911 --> 00:00:33,945
Would not have thought of that.
15
00:00:35,414 --> 00:00:36,715
Oh, good,
16
00:00:36,716 --> 00:00:37,882
you guys are watching the video?
17
00:00:37,883 --> 00:00:39,751
- Yes.
- Yes, ma'am.
18
00:00:39,752 --> 00:00:41,853
What do you see?
19
00:00:41,854 --> 00:00:45,056
Uh, a heroic rescue of a child?
20
00:00:45,057 --> 00:00:46,725
- Some really stupid parents.
- Yeah.
21
00:00:46,726 --> 00:00:49,259
Well, I see an opportunity.
22
00:00:54,032 --> 00:00:55,266
Whoa.
23
00:00:55,267 --> 00:00:56,668
- Holy...
- This...
24
00:00:56,669 --> 00:00:57,902
is an antipersonnel land mine.
25
00:00:57,903 --> 00:00:59,170
Don't worry, it's deactivated.
26
00:00:59,171 --> 00:01:01,506
But if it weren't, it would just take
27
00:01:01,507 --> 00:01:03,441
a few pounds of pressure...
28
00:01:03,442 --> 00:01:06,211
say, the weight of
a young girl's foot...
29
00:01:06,212 --> 00:01:08,613
to detonate it. But, interestingly,
30
00:01:08,614 --> 00:01:10,315
these aren't designed to kill.
31
00:01:10,316 --> 00:01:11,449
The idea
32
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:13,284
is to burden the enemy
33
00:01:13,285 --> 00:01:15,053
with logistical difficulties
34
00:01:15,054 --> 00:01:17,856
like evacuation and field surgery
35
00:01:17,857 --> 00:01:21,626
by blowing off the leg of
the soldier who steps on it.
36
00:01:21,627 --> 00:01:23,895
Of course, very often,
37
00:01:23,896 --> 00:01:26,197
the victims aren't soldiers at all.
38
00:01:26,198 --> 00:01:27,532
They're civilians.
39
00:01:27,533 --> 00:01:30,068
Children.
40
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:31,770
Thank you.
41
00:01:31,771 --> 00:01:34,005
Good morning to you, too, ma'am.
42
00:01:34,006 --> 00:01:35,573
Where'd you get that thing anyway?
43
00:01:35,574 --> 00:01:37,275
Friend of mine at DOD.
44
00:01:37,276 --> 00:01:38,943
Wasn't easy, which is weird,
45
00:01:38,944 --> 00:01:42,547
because there are 100 million
46
00:01:42,548 --> 00:01:45,183
of them buried around the world,
47
00:01:45,184 --> 00:01:47,819
and another 110 million stockpiled.
48
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:50,622
I'm sorry for the dramatics.
49
00:01:50,623 --> 00:01:54,292
I just want us all to be real
focused on the opportunity
50
00:01:54,293 --> 00:01:55,860
- at hand here.
- Which is what, ma'am?
51
00:01:55,861 --> 00:01:58,096
The Calgary Treaty on Land Mines.
52
00:01:58,097 --> 00:01:59,531
Called for the worldwide ban
53
00:01:59,532 --> 00:02:01,733
on the production, stockpiling, use
54
00:02:01,734 --> 00:02:03,368
and transfer of
antipersonnel land mines.
55
00:02:03,369 --> 00:02:05,236
It was ratified in the
late '90s, I believe?
56
00:02:05,237 --> 00:02:08,440
- Yup.
- And was signed by at least 100 countries,
57
00:02:08,441 --> 00:02:09,707
of which the U.S. was not one,
58
00:02:09,708 --> 00:02:11,509
but we are... broadly compliant.
59
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:13,511
Okay, but why haven't we signed it?
60
00:02:13,512 --> 00:02:15,204
Ratification would
take a two-thirds vote
61
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:17,940
in the Senate, which no
previous administration
62
00:02:17,941 --> 00:02:19,408
has been able to secure.
63
00:02:19,409 --> 00:02:21,915
Because the Pentagon has issues.
We don't use land mines, except
64
00:02:21,916 --> 00:02:24,451
on the Korean Peninsula. But
DOD doesn't want to create
65
00:02:24,452 --> 00:02:27,054
a legal slippery slope for
other effective but controversial
66
00:02:27,055 --> 00:02:30,357
weapons systems, like... cluster bombs,
67
00:02:30,358 --> 00:02:32,492
and white phosphorus munitions,
68
00:02:32,493 --> 00:02:34,361
or, I don't know, exploding puppies.
69
00:02:34,362 --> 00:02:35,896
Plus, Russia and China
70
00:02:35,897 --> 00:02:37,731
are big producers, too, but also
71
00:02:37,732 --> 00:02:39,466
- won't sign.
- Right. I mean,
72
00:02:39,467 --> 00:02:41,435
correct answers. Check
pluses all around.
73
00:02:41,436 --> 00:02:43,203
But why else haven't we
74
00:02:43,204 --> 00:02:45,305
signed this treaty?
75
00:02:45,306 --> 00:02:46,873
This is the scariest pop quiz ever.
76
00:02:46,874 --> 00:02:49,609
What aren't the thousands
77
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:50,877
of innocent civilians
78
00:02:50,878 --> 00:02:55,115
who are maimed or killed
by land mines every year?
79
00:02:55,116 --> 00:02:56,350
Americans.
80
00:02:56,351 --> 00:02:58,352
- Exactly.
- But that video's gotten
81
00:02:58,353 --> 00:03:00,253
- five million views already.
- So, for this
82
00:03:00,254 --> 00:03:02,289
brief moment in time,
83
00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:05,759
Americans are actually
thinking about land mines.
84
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,496
Imagine how many thousands
of lives we could save
85
00:03:09,497 --> 00:03:11,565
if the U.S. would finally
86
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:13,367
provide real moral leadership
87
00:03:13,368 --> 00:03:15,469
- and ratify Calgary.
- Secretary's office.
88
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:17,637
- But we got to act fast. Right?
- Yes, I'll let her know. Ma'am,
89
00:03:17,638 --> 00:03:19,673
Russell Jackson just asked to
see you as soon as possible.
90
00:03:19,674 --> 00:03:22,275
- He asked?
- He even used the word "please."
91
00:03:22,276 --> 00:03:24,277
Oh, I don't like the sound of that.
92
00:03:24,278 --> 00:03:26,747
Recent leaks to the
Russians could be traced back
93
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:28,982
to Senate Majority
Leader Beau Carpenter.
94
00:03:28,983 --> 00:03:30,450
Now, the evidence was gathered
95
00:03:30,451 --> 00:03:32,619
by CIA's Special Activities Division,
96
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,354
but it won't be admissible in court.
97
00:03:34,355 --> 00:03:35,889
That is the purpose
98
00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:38,024
of this inter-agency task force:
99
00:03:38,025 --> 00:03:39,825
to build a case against
Carpenter that sticks.
100
00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:43,964
Carpenter's one of the most
powerful men in the country.
101
00:03:43,965 --> 00:03:46,166
He's plenty rich. He's not an ideologue.
102
00:03:46,167 --> 00:03:47,968
Do we really think
103
00:03:47,969 --> 00:03:50,070
he could've been
coerced by the Russians?
104
00:03:50,071 --> 00:03:51,538
Well, that's the question.
105
00:03:51,539 --> 00:03:53,106
What leverage do they have on him?
106
00:03:53,107 --> 00:03:55,642
Anthony Colvert from the FBI
will lead the investigation.
107
00:03:55,643 --> 00:03:57,878
Thank you, Mr. Attorney General.
108
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,513
It's true, Leader Carpenter
109
00:03:59,514 --> 00:04:01,548
doesn't have many
obvious pressure points.
110
00:04:01,549 --> 00:04:04,351
His wife of 40 years, Helen, passed away
111
00:04:04,352 --> 00:04:06,853
five years ago. His son
Richard is in business
112
00:04:06,854 --> 00:04:08,722
and seems to be reasonably successful.
113
00:04:08,723 --> 00:04:10,891
The most compelling answer
to Dr. McCord's question
114
00:04:10,892 --> 00:04:13,760
is Carpenter's housekeeper: Magda Nagy.
115
00:04:13,761 --> 00:04:15,829
She grew up under
communist rule in Budapest,
116
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:17,397
presumably speaks some Russian.
117
00:04:17,398 --> 00:04:19,599
Became an American citizen 15 years ago.
118
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,101
Started working as
Carpenter's housekeeper
119
00:04:21,102 --> 00:04:22,536
shortly after his wife died.
120
00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:25,172
The leaks we believe Leader
Carpenter is responsible for
121
00:04:25,173 --> 00:04:27,574
have blown operations and cost lives.
122
00:04:27,575 --> 00:04:30,076
CIA will assist in
intelligence gathering
123
00:04:30,077 --> 00:04:32,546
but, obviously, FBI runs point on this.
124
00:04:32,547 --> 00:04:34,480
Thanks, everyone.
125
00:04:35,615 --> 00:04:37,117
If I may.
126
00:04:37,118 --> 00:04:41,321
I've known Beau Carpenter for 25 years.
127
00:04:41,322 --> 00:04:44,257
He's charming as all hell.
128
00:04:44,258 --> 00:04:46,626
He's also crafty
129
00:04:46,627 --> 00:04:49,496
and has this town wired.
130
00:04:49,497 --> 00:04:51,698
Don't let him see you coming.
131
00:04:51,699 --> 00:04:54,434
Land mines only cost
a few dollars to make,
132
00:04:54,435 --> 00:04:56,269
but thousands to clean up.
133
00:04:56,270 --> 00:04:59,639
They render otherwise arable
land useless for decades.
134
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,608
Yes, and the U.S. contributes
135
00:05:01,609 --> 00:05:05,011
far more to de-mining operations
than any other country.
136
00:05:05,012 --> 00:05:06,980
Sure, but how can we tell them
137
00:05:06,981 --> 00:05:10,383
to stop using and selling
mines when they can say to us,
138
00:05:10,384 --> 00:05:13,920
"Well, you won't ratify
Calgary. Why should we".
139
00:05:13,921 --> 00:05:15,856
I'm sympathetic.
140
00:05:15,857 --> 00:05:18,258
But we have other legislative priorities
141
00:05:18,259 --> 00:05:20,827
to get through Congress
before the recess.
142
00:05:20,828 --> 00:05:22,596
Conrad, you've seen, firsthand,
143
00:05:22,597 --> 00:05:23,964
the damage they can do.
144
00:05:23,965 --> 00:05:25,866
Yes, I have.
145
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:27,434
So believe me when I tell you
146
00:05:27,435 --> 00:05:29,336
that I understand this issue, Bess.
147
00:05:29,337 --> 00:05:31,371
Well, then you, of all people,
148
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:33,106
can understand the moral imperative
149
00:05:33,107 --> 00:05:35,175
to putting an end to their use.
150
00:05:35,176 --> 00:05:36,309
Mr. President.
151
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:37,677
- Elizabeth.
- Hey.
152
00:05:37,678 --> 00:05:40,447
Did you bring a land mine to the office?
153
00:05:40,448 --> 00:05:42,682
- I was making a point.
- Yeah.
154
00:05:42,683 --> 00:05:44,017
That's what most
people who bring weapons
155
00:05:44,018 --> 00:05:45,252
to the workplace say.
156
00:05:45,253 --> 00:05:47,454
She's passionate on
the subject, Russell.
157
00:05:47,455 --> 00:05:49,289
Yeah, well, my two cents:
158
00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:51,191
sending a treaty to the
Senate is just asking them
159
00:05:51,192 --> 00:05:52,459
to stick a thumb in your eye.
160
00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:54,127
And why the hell did that family
161
00:05:54,128 --> 00:05:56,530
have to go to Cambodia
instead of on a Disney cruise,
162
00:05:56,531 --> 00:05:57,898
like normal people?
163
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:02,135
I know it's risky, but I think
164
00:06:02,136 --> 00:06:04,170
right now we have the public's support
165
00:06:04,171 --> 00:06:05,572
to get something done here.
166
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:09,342
A two-thirds majority
is a high bar, Bess.
167
00:06:09,343 --> 00:06:12,279
I don't want to squander my
capital on a political loser.
168
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,147
I know.
169
00:06:15,449 --> 00:06:17,183
But I tell you what.
170
00:06:17,184 --> 00:06:19,052
On an issue like this,
171
00:06:19,053 --> 00:06:21,254
you have the stature
172
00:06:21,255 --> 00:06:23,423
to try and whip the votes yourself.
173
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,626
If you can do that, I'll sign.
174
00:06:26,627 --> 00:06:28,828
Well, I love a challenge.
175
00:06:28,829 --> 00:06:31,531
- Thank you, sir.
- Just remember what he said
176
00:06:31,532 --> 00:06:33,499
about political losers.
177
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:41,007
You're in a mood.
178
00:06:41,008 --> 00:06:42,642
Ugh.
179
00:06:42,643 --> 00:06:45,679
You got any plans this weekend?
180
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,547
Um... I don't know,
181
00:06:47,548 --> 00:06:49,349
reading, mostly.
182
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:51,484
Got to hit the grocery store.
183
00:06:51,485 --> 00:06:53,753
You know, probably put on my yoga pants,
184
00:06:53,754 --> 00:06:55,055
but not actually go.
185
00:06:55,056 --> 00:06:56,590
You?
186
00:06:56,591 --> 00:06:58,491
Well, I was supposed
to go to Bunny Duncan's
187
00:06:58,492 --> 00:06:59,693
big holiday party.
188
00:06:59,694 --> 00:07:01,428
Well, you know, she has one every year.
189
00:07:01,429 --> 00:07:03,263
She passed away last night. I heard.
190
00:07:03,264 --> 00:07:05,999
Russell, I'm so sorry. You were friends.
191
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,867
Bunny? God no, I hated her.
192
00:07:07,868 --> 00:07:09,369
Oh.
193
00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:11,304
Everybody loved her parties.
194
00:07:11,305 --> 00:07:12,906
They were just scared
of getting left out.
195
00:07:12,907 --> 00:07:15,775
It was like drinking eggnog
at Saddam Hussein's palace.
196
00:07:15,776 --> 00:07:17,177
No, no, no, the point is...
197
00:07:17,178 --> 00:07:19,813
the real estate's
free, but not for long.
198
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:23,049
So if you and Henry want to
throw a party of your own,
199
00:07:23,050 --> 00:07:25,118
you need to jump now.
200
00:07:25,119 --> 00:07:26,353
Well, it's a good thing...
201
00:07:26,354 --> 00:07:28,187
- we don't.
- What, uh...
202
00:07:28,888 --> 00:07:30,924
Maybe I'm not making myself clear.
203
00:07:30,925 --> 00:07:32,192
Fair to say.
204
00:07:32,193 --> 00:07:34,461
POTUS is thinking about his legacy.
205
00:07:34,462 --> 00:07:35,695
When the time comes,
206
00:07:35,696 --> 00:07:39,466
- he wants to pass the torch to you, so...
- Oh, wow.
207
00:07:39,467 --> 00:07:40,867
- If you're gonna run...
- I'm not.
208
00:07:40,868 --> 00:07:42,569
...we need to start making moves now...
209
00:07:42,570 --> 00:07:44,571
getting the right team together,
meeting the right people.
210
00:07:44,572 --> 00:07:46,873
- Throwing the right parties.
- You'll do it, then.
211
00:07:46,874 --> 00:07:49,676
- Thank you.
- Maybe I'm the one not being clear.
212
00:07:49,677 --> 00:07:51,878
I came here to serve the president,
213
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:53,979
not be the president.
214
00:07:56,383 --> 00:07:58,084
Just think about it, please?
215
00:07:58,085 --> 00:07:59,919
Good-bye, Russell.
216
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,655
And fast.
217
00:08:01,656 --> 00:08:04,491
All right, so, to ratify
Calgary, we need 67 senators.
218
00:08:04,492 --> 00:08:06,226
There are basically
three pools of votes.
219
00:08:06,227 --> 00:08:08,428
The yeses, of whom there
aren't enough. But then,
220
00:08:08,429 --> 00:08:11,731
there are two kinds of no
votes: the defense hawks,
221
00:08:11,732 --> 00:08:13,600
who tend to take their
cues from the military;
222
00:08:13,601 --> 00:08:15,635
and those who will
never vote for any treaty
223
00:08:15,636 --> 00:08:16,870
because they're afraid
224
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:19,039
of a loss of U.S. sovereignty.
225
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,473
AKA the black helicopter crowd.
226
00:08:20,474 --> 00:08:23,176
- Carlos Morejon jumps to mind.
- Fun fact:
227
00:08:23,177 --> 00:08:25,211
his wife Vicki did
retweet the rescue video.
228
00:08:25,212 --> 00:08:27,514
- His heartlessness completes her.
- Oh.
229
00:08:27,515 --> 00:08:29,449
Long story short,
ma'am, getting the votes
230
00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:30,550
before the congressional recess
231
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:33,119
- will be a pretty heavy lift.
- Yup.
232
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,621
- Gordon Becker is your answer.
- Okay.
233
00:08:34,622 --> 00:08:36,656
- Mike B, ma'am.
- Yes,
234
00:08:36,657 --> 00:08:39,459
with his impeccable timing. Mike,
235
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:42,362
this is my new policy
advisor, Kat Sandoval.
236
00:08:42,363 --> 00:08:44,297
Kat, Mike; Mike, Kat.
237
00:08:44,298 --> 00:08:47,267
Mr. Barnow, good to meet you.
Your reputation precedes you.
238
00:08:47,268 --> 00:08:48,468
As does yours.
239
00:08:48,469 --> 00:08:50,270
Didn't you go crazy or something?
240
00:08:50,271 --> 00:08:53,373
Actually, I just moved to an
avocado farm in California.
241
00:08:53,374 --> 00:08:55,709
That sounds like the same thing.
242
00:08:55,710 --> 00:08:57,644
What's this really about?
243
00:08:57,645 --> 00:08:59,779
Ah, troubled by a nagging feeling
244
00:08:59,780 --> 00:09:02,148
your dog likes me more than you.
245
00:09:02,149 --> 00:09:04,050
I will have you know that Gordon and I
246
00:09:04,051 --> 00:09:05,719
are in a really good place right now.
247
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Gordon?
248
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:08,855
Wait, Go... I'm sorry.
249
00:09:08,856 --> 00:09:10,523
Gordon the dog, as in
250
00:09:10,524 --> 00:09:12,559
- Gordon the SecDef?
- For the record, he's named after
251
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,594
G. Gordon Liddy, who
also had his quirks,
252
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:16,463
but was fanatically loyal.
253
00:09:16,464 --> 00:09:18,465
To an unworthy master. Makes sense.
254
00:09:18,466 --> 00:09:20,500
Getting back to the Gordon that matters,
255
00:09:20,501 --> 00:09:22,135
tell us how SecDef figures into this.
256
00:09:22,136 --> 00:09:23,503
Way to keep us on track.
257
00:09:23,504 --> 00:09:24,704
You're no Nadine, but I appreciate
258
00:09:24,705 --> 00:09:27,407
the effort. Look, even if a senator,
259
00:09:27,408 --> 00:09:28,808
in their heart,
260
00:09:28,809 --> 00:09:30,610
wants to vote yes, they
can't look weak on defense.
261
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:32,011
So you have to give them some cover.
262
00:09:32,012 --> 00:09:34,547
And getting Becker to come out in favor
263
00:09:34,548 --> 00:09:36,816
of ratifying Calgary does just that.
264
00:09:36,817 --> 00:09:38,485
I like it. Blake, get me a meeting
265
00:09:38,486 --> 00:09:41,154
with SecDef, will you?
266
00:09:41,155 --> 00:09:43,123
So, I hear you're throwing
a party this weekend.
267
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:44,390
And Bunny Duncan's
268
00:09:44,391 --> 00:09:46,359
not even in the ground yet.
269
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,994
I love it. Sounds like the White House
270
00:09:47,995 --> 00:09:50,130
is having you lay the
groundwork for a run.
271
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:53,099
Oh, she didn't tell you? Oops.
272
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:55,068
Because it's not happening.
273
00:09:55,069 --> 00:09:56,803
What, you just
274
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,004
turned POTUS down?
275
00:09:58,005 --> 00:09:59,239
Well, Russell.
276
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,374
Look, I'm not into all that
277
00:10:01,375 --> 00:10:04,644
backslapping, join-the-club malarkey.
278
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:07,013
Oh, and I don't want to be president.
279
00:10:07,014 --> 00:10:09,315
Although if you did
throw the party, you could
280
00:10:09,316 --> 00:10:11,050
use the informal setting...
281
00:10:11,051 --> 00:10:12,519
not to mention official
Washington's curiosity
282
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,820
with The Glamorous McCords...
283
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:15,622
as a lure to trawl
284
00:10:15,623 --> 00:10:18,892
- for more treaty votes.
- So not glamorous, just...
285
00:10:18,893 --> 00:10:21,461
But nevertheless, I like it.
286
00:10:21,462 --> 00:10:22,896
- Right?
- That's a good idea.
287
00:10:22,897 --> 00:10:25,265
No. No, it's not a good idea.
288
00:10:25,266 --> 00:10:27,100
It's a terrible idea.
289
00:10:27,101 --> 00:10:28,968
These parties are non-partisan;
290
00:10:28,969 --> 00:10:30,537
therefore, they're actually fun.
291
00:10:30,538 --> 00:10:32,605
I mean, sure, tell everyone
you want to run for president,
292
00:10:32,606 --> 00:10:33,973
but don't...
293
00:10:33,974 --> 00:10:36,576
don't dance on poor Bunny's
grave talking politics.
294
00:10:36,577 --> 00:10:37,877
Blake, call the White House.
295
00:10:37,878 --> 00:10:40,647
Tell Russell Jackson I'll
throw the stupid party.
296
00:10:40,648 --> 00:10:43,783
Don't say "stupid".
297
00:10:43,784 --> 00:10:51,426
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
298
00:10:55,117 --> 00:10:57,619
Madam Secretary? I'm Meghan Pearl.
299
00:10:57,620 --> 00:11:00,201
Russell Jackson suggested I ride
over to the Pentagon with you.
300
00:11:00,202 --> 00:11:01,456
Oh. Yes, the-the party planner.
301
00:11:01,457 --> 00:11:03,292
Uh, event coordinator.
302
00:11:03,293 --> 00:11:05,694
Oh. Apologies.
303
00:11:05,695 --> 00:11:08,541
This is Blake, my assistant.
304
00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:11,044
Oh. Great. You'll probably
want to take notes.
305
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:13,680
We are going to cover a lot of ground.
306
00:11:13,681 --> 00:11:15,448
Shall we?
307
00:11:15,449 --> 00:11:18,051
After you.
308
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:20,352
Thank you.
309
00:11:21,854 --> 00:11:23,790
Meghan, thank you
310
00:11:23,791 --> 00:11:25,658
for coming on such short notice.
311
00:11:25,659 --> 00:11:27,727
Well, normally, I don't
do events this small, and,
312
00:11:27,728 --> 00:11:30,663
honestly, I was this close to
doing Bunny Duncan's memorial.
313
00:11:30,664 --> 00:11:33,099
- Oh.
- But Russell Jackson swore
314
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,334
up and down that you would be worth it.
315
00:11:35,335 --> 00:11:38,771
Well, let's hope I don't let you down.
316
00:11:38,772 --> 00:11:40,540
Uh, so, Meghan,
317
00:11:40,541 --> 00:11:42,274
shall we talk about your
vision for the party?
318
00:11:42,275 --> 00:11:45,178
Yes. Nothing too
elaborate... passed apps;
319
00:11:45,179 --> 00:11:48,181
two to three dining stations;
three or four full bars;
320
00:11:48,182 --> 00:11:51,384
TBD live entertainment;
plus, a tasteful DJ;
321
00:11:51,385 --> 00:11:53,286
heated tents, front and back;
322
00:11:53,287 --> 00:11:55,722
valets; and then, of
course, party favors.
323
00:11:55,723 --> 00:11:57,423
So, you know, simple.
324
00:11:57,424 --> 00:11:59,325
Party favors. Huh.
325
00:11:59,326 --> 00:12:01,360
You know, a small gift
for each of your guests.
326
00:12:01,361 --> 00:12:04,163
I know what a party favor... is, I...
327
00:12:04,164 --> 00:12:07,500
Just wondering if they're necessary.
328
00:12:07,501 --> 00:12:09,736
Well, I mean,
329
00:12:09,737 --> 00:12:12,004
that's how it's done.
330
00:12:12,005 --> 00:12:13,439
Mm.
331
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,875
But, of course, it's up to you.
332
00:12:15,876 --> 00:12:17,542
Thank you.
333
00:12:19,345 --> 00:12:22,615
So, with the...
334
00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:24,684
- valets,
- Mm-hmm.
335
00:12:24,685 --> 00:12:27,053
the caterer, bars...
336
00:12:27,054 --> 00:12:28,087
The party favors.
337
00:12:28,088 --> 00:12:29,722
Party favors. Thank you.
338
00:12:29,723 --> 00:12:32,091
How much is this all gonna cost?
339
00:12:32,092 --> 00:12:34,293
Well, typically, I don't
discuss that with clients
340
00:12:34,294 --> 00:12:36,763
this early in the process.
341
00:12:36,764 --> 00:12:38,731
Oh.
342
00:12:38,732 --> 00:12:39,966
Well, I'll tell you what.
343
00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:43,034
Uh, why don't you write it down for me?
344
00:12:46,506 --> 00:12:48,940
Sure.
345
00:12:51,878 --> 00:12:54,180
Again, thanks so much for making time.
346
00:12:54,181 --> 00:12:56,649
Thank you, ma'am. And let me
know about those ice sculptures.
347
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,117
Oh, you bet!
348
00:12:58,118 --> 00:13:01,754
- Yeah, she's not gonna work.
- No.
349
00:13:01,755 --> 00:13:04,690
One concern is setting a legal
precedent that could be used
350
00:13:04,691 --> 00:13:05,892
to ban other weapons in the future.
351
00:13:05,893 --> 00:13:07,894
Well, I understand that,
352
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:09,862
but we banned nerve gas
353
00:13:09,863 --> 00:13:12,899
and it's not like our troops
are out there with peashooters.
354
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:15,134
Fair point. Two other stumbling blocks:
355
00:13:15,135 --> 00:13:17,303
the Korean Peninsula
and our good friends,
356
00:13:17,304 --> 00:13:19,338
- the Russians and the Chinese.
- I agree.
357
00:13:19,339 --> 00:13:23,810
We'd have to find something
to carve out for South Korea.
358
00:13:23,811 --> 00:13:26,345
But talk to me about Russia and China.
359
00:13:26,346 --> 00:13:28,381
Well, unlike us, they're
actively selling and deploying
360
00:13:28,382 --> 00:13:30,616
their APLs. If our
two biggest adversaries
361
00:13:30,617 --> 00:13:32,418
won't disarm, why should we?
362
00:13:32,419 --> 00:13:34,487
Because we haven't used
land mines in combat
363
00:13:34,488 --> 00:13:36,022
since the '90s anyway.
364
00:13:36,023 --> 00:13:38,057
And it's doubtful we ever will.
365
00:13:38,058 --> 00:13:41,327
Nevertheless, I say the
onus is on Russia and China.
366
00:13:41,328 --> 00:13:43,296
Well, I hear you.
367
00:13:43,297 --> 00:13:45,563
Want to?
368
00:13:46,299 --> 00:13:49,001
Why not?
369
00:13:49,002 --> 00:13:51,070
I don't know. Just seems...
370
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,674
With everything going on,
371
00:13:54,675 --> 00:13:57,310
I do think that Russia's
a bridge too far.
372
00:13:57,311 --> 00:13:59,245
But...
373
00:13:59,246 --> 00:14:00,913
if I could deliver China?
374
00:14:00,914 --> 00:14:02,882
Deliver China.
375
00:14:02,883 --> 00:14:05,384
- Just like that?
- I mean,
376
00:14:05,385 --> 00:14:07,953
I'm not saying it would be easy.
377
00:14:09,121 --> 00:14:10,523
- Yeah.
- Nice.
378
00:14:10,524 --> 00:14:12,658
But if I could,
379
00:14:12,659 --> 00:14:15,661
would you come out in
support of ratification?
380
00:14:15,662 --> 00:14:18,531
Depends exactly what China agrees to.
381
00:14:18,532 --> 00:14:19,999
But...
382
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,468
yes, I would.
383
00:14:22,469 --> 00:14:24,869
Hmm. Okay, then.
384
00:14:26,339 --> 00:14:28,341
Nice putting game
there, Madam Secretary.
385
00:14:28,342 --> 00:14:33,012
We both know anybody can
smack a ball down a fairway.
386
00:14:33,013 --> 00:14:36,349
It's staying calm and executing
when the hole is right there,
387
00:14:36,350 --> 00:14:39,217
that's the tricky part.
388
00:14:39,952 --> 00:14:41,888
Thank you, Gordon.
389
00:14:41,889 --> 00:14:44,156
You're very welcome, Elizabeth.
390
00:14:44,157 --> 00:14:46,392
Let's kick around this
whole Magda theory.
391
00:14:46,393 --> 00:14:48,361
And, please, no a priori arguments
392
00:14:48,362 --> 00:14:50,329
or confirmation bias. Give me the facts.
393
00:14:50,330 --> 00:14:52,665
44 years old. Divorced.
394
00:14:52,666 --> 00:14:54,000
One daughter, age 12.
395
00:14:54,001 --> 00:14:55,868
Been working for
Majority Leader Carpenter
396
00:14:55,869 --> 00:14:58,137
for about five years
since his wife died.
397
00:14:58,138 --> 00:15:00,239
Works most days, leaves at night.
398
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,275
- And does she?
- From what
399
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:03,943
we've been able to glean,
no one in town thinks
400
00:15:03,944 --> 00:15:05,244
there's anything going on between them.
401
00:15:05,245 --> 00:15:06,946
And with the wife
gone, why keep a secret
402
00:15:06,947 --> 00:15:08,681
when they don't have to?
403
00:15:08,682 --> 00:15:10,616
So the honey trap
theory's kind of squishy.
404
00:15:10,617 --> 00:15:13,886
Is there any possibility that she's...
405
00:15:13,887 --> 00:15:16,522
just his handler for the Russians?
406
00:15:16,523 --> 00:15:18,024
FBI's still doing
407
00:15:18,025 --> 00:15:19,325
their background check, but, so far,
408
00:15:19,326 --> 00:15:21,027
her financials don't
really give us much.
409
00:15:21,028 --> 00:15:24,196
No big deposits or purchases in cash.
410
00:15:24,197 --> 00:15:27,700
So, in the words of Aristotle,
411
00:15:27,701 --> 00:15:30,002
we got jack squat.
412
00:15:30,003 --> 00:15:31,070
But here's something.
413
00:15:31,071 --> 00:15:32,738
Sometimes she posts the route
414
00:15:32,739 --> 00:15:34,573
of her runs on social media.
415
00:15:34,574 --> 00:15:35,675
Why do people do that,
416
00:15:35,676 --> 00:15:36,943
by the way?
417
00:15:36,944 --> 00:15:39,812
I mean... Anyway, most
mornings, she goes through
418
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:42,148
the Woodmont Triangle
neighborhood in Bethesda.
419
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:43,399
It's something concrete
to go on, at least.
420
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,352
I'm gonna get in touch with Colvert.
If Magda takes a run in the morning,
421
00:15:46,353 --> 00:15:47,687
we should be ready for her.
422
00:15:47,688 --> 00:15:49,889
So, what is in it
423
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:51,090
for China?
424
00:15:51,091 --> 00:15:52,458
Why should they sign the treaty?
425
00:15:52,459 --> 00:15:53,993
Don't look at me. I'm just here
426
00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:55,461
to get out of picking
my kid up from hockey.
427
00:15:55,462 --> 00:15:58,731
Truth is, we can't offer much
428
00:15:58,732 --> 00:16:00,199
that would mean anything to them.
429
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,233
Maybe we appeal
430
00:16:01,234 --> 00:16:02,234
to their vanity?
431
00:16:02,235 --> 00:16:03,469
How so?
432
00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:05,404
Well, China's a superpower now.
433
00:16:05,405 --> 00:16:07,239
Do they really need
to mine their borders?
434
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,275
- Who's going to invade China?
- And land mines
435
00:16:09,276 --> 00:16:10,743
are a pretty grubby export
436
00:16:10,744 --> 00:16:12,545
when you're making
everything else under the sun.
437
00:16:12,546 --> 00:16:13,746
Maybe.
438
00:16:13,747 --> 00:16:14,780
Could work.
439
00:16:14,781 --> 00:16:16,782
Look who's here.
440
00:16:16,783 --> 00:16:18,284
Hi, Mom.
441
00:16:18,285 --> 00:16:19,885
Mom's staff.
442
00:16:19,886 --> 00:16:22,888
Hi, honey. This is a... surprise.
443
00:16:22,889 --> 00:16:25,658
Sure is. Yeah.
444
00:16:25,659 --> 00:16:28,227
Oh, my God.
445
00:16:28,228 --> 00:16:29,862
- He didn't.
- Russell thought
446
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:32,698
that since money seemed
to be an issue with Meghan,
447
00:16:32,699 --> 00:16:36,035
maybe a... volunteer family member
448
00:16:36,036 --> 00:16:38,270
- might be more in your price range.
- Ouch.
449
00:16:38,271 --> 00:16:39,538
And he thinks
450
00:16:39,539 --> 00:16:42,008
just because you're a woman, of course,
451
00:16:42,009 --> 00:16:44,176
you'd want to plan a party?
452
00:16:44,177 --> 00:16:48,848
I think it's more that
you just can't fire me.
453
00:16:48,849 --> 00:16:49,849
Right.
454
00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:51,517
And you're okay with this?
455
00:16:51,518 --> 00:16:54,320
Yeah. Absolutely.
456
00:16:54,321 --> 00:16:55,888
My God, it's like a hostage video.
457
00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:59,358
Um, so I-I have options
458
00:16:59,359 --> 00:17:01,494
for caterers, valets,
decorations and everything.
459
00:17:01,495 --> 00:17:03,729
I also have a draft of the guest list
460
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:06,298
- that you kind of need to look over.
- Yeah. Okay, well, we're just
461
00:17:06,299 --> 00:17:08,768
sort of busy around here.
So we'll go over it tonight.
462
00:17:08,769 --> 00:17:11,537
- Okay? All right.
- Okay. Mom, this party is tomorrow.
463
00:17:11,538 --> 00:17:14,774
I know. Ticktock. We'll be okay.
464
00:17:14,775 --> 00:17:16,809
Also, I'm a public servant
and your dad's a teacher,
465
00:17:16,810 --> 00:17:18,310
so whatever you think
something should cost,
466
00:17:18,311 --> 00:17:19,979
make it half that,
okay? I love you. Bye.
467
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:22,213
- What? Mom...
- Bye, honey.
468
00:17:26,485 --> 00:17:28,287
Minister Chen, as you know,
469
00:17:28,288 --> 00:17:30,623
APLs stay lethal for decades,
470
00:17:30,624 --> 00:17:32,992
killing women and children who are just
471
00:17:32,993 --> 00:17:35,428
trying to grow crops or fetch firewood.
472
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:38,431
Can you honestly tell me
that China, with all of its
473
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:41,267
economic and military might, still needs
474
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:43,669
such weapons?
475
00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:45,638
There have been some
internal discussions
476
00:17:45,639 --> 00:17:47,506
about that very topic.
477
00:17:47,507 --> 00:17:48,974
So let's make something happen.
478
00:17:48,975 --> 00:17:51,877
The world's two great powers
coming together on this issue
479
00:17:51,878 --> 00:17:54,346
holds some appeal.
480
00:17:54,347 --> 00:17:56,215
We might consider it, if...
481
00:17:56,216 --> 00:17:58,184
- If what?
- If you go first.
482
00:17:58,185 --> 00:17:59,385
Well, I told you we can't do that.
483
00:17:59,386 --> 00:18:00,820
So why should we?
484
00:18:00,821 --> 00:18:01,954
Good day, Madam Secretary.
485
00:18:01,955 --> 00:18:04,990
Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that
486
00:18:04,991 --> 00:18:07,860
if we ratify first, you'll follow suit?
487
00:18:07,861 --> 00:18:10,229
We would take it as a heartening sign
488
00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:12,231
and move to match it.
489
00:18:12,232 --> 00:18:14,166
Well, let me get back to you.
490
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:16,635
Madam Secretary, a little bird
491
00:18:16,636 --> 00:18:19,138
told me you're having a holiday party
492
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:21,540
in place of the late Bunny Duncan.
493
00:18:21,541 --> 00:18:23,709
Now, what are we to make of that?
494
00:18:23,710 --> 00:18:26,112
Nothing to make of it, Ming.
495
00:18:26,113 --> 00:18:27,980
Talk soon.
496
00:18:27,981 --> 00:18:30,483
Wow, the world has gotten way too small.
497
00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:31,984
But that was promising.
498
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:34,253
So, to sum up, in order
to get the White House
499
00:18:34,254 --> 00:18:36,455
on board, we have to get
the votes in the Senate.
500
00:18:36,456 --> 00:18:39,091
Uh, in order to get those,
we have to get the SecDef.
501
00:18:39,092 --> 00:18:40,726
In order to get him,
we have to get China.
502
00:18:40,727 --> 00:18:42,526
And in order to get China,
we have to get POTUS?
503
00:18:42,527 --> 00:18:44,930
- POTUS. We're back where we started.
- Yeah.
504
00:18:44,931 --> 00:18:47,967
Yes, but we've learned so
much. I'm actually serious.
505
00:18:47,968 --> 00:18:49,568
The White House couldn't
have been clearer
506
00:18:49,569 --> 00:18:52,705
that they didn't want to expend
political capital on this.
507
00:18:52,706 --> 00:18:53,839
And yet, that is
508
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,408
exactly what we are
going to ask them to do.
509
00:18:56,409 --> 00:18:58,310
Well, that's one way to cool their jets
510
00:18:58,311 --> 00:18:59,678
on you running for president.
511
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:02,614
Two birds, one stone. Perfect.
512
00:19:07,482 --> 00:19:11,135
First, I want to thank you all for
taking the time to meet with me.
513
00:19:11,136 --> 00:19:13,109
Oh, God, Stevie's cycling high.
514
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:14,978
I knew I should've eaten at school.
515
00:19:14,979 --> 00:19:17,013
As you know, it has fallen to me
516
00:19:17,014 --> 00:19:19,549
to plan Mom's holiday
party at the house.
517
00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:22,852
I'm not gonna lie,
it's-it's pretty stressful.
518
00:19:22,853 --> 00:19:24,120
Because... here is the
point of this meeting...
519
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,656
Mom is not helping.
520
00:19:26,657 --> 00:19:27,924
Let me guess,
521
00:19:27,925 --> 00:19:30,426
she resents having the
party, so she's doing
522
00:19:30,427 --> 00:19:32,428
that thing where she doesn't
really engage and kind of
523
00:19:32,429 --> 00:19:34,397
makes you feel like a sellout
for even being involved?
524
00:19:34,398 --> 00:19:35,832
- Exactly.
- Wow.
525
00:19:35,833 --> 00:19:37,200
Is that what you guys do all day,
526
00:19:37,201 --> 00:19:38,935
sit around and psychoanalyze us?
527
00:19:38,936 --> 00:19:40,603
Of course you would think that.
528
00:19:40,604 --> 00:19:42,539
So, I need you
529
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:45,642
to help me help Mom. Ali,
530
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,877
I would like for you to pick
out no more than three outfits
531
00:19:47,878 --> 00:19:49,145
for her. And, also, make sure
532
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:51,114
that she gives herself
enough time before the party
533
00:19:51,115 --> 00:19:53,049
- for hair and makeup.
- I'm on it.
534
00:19:53,050 --> 00:19:54,717
- Great.
- Mwah.
535
00:19:54,718 --> 00:19:56,019
Bye. Dad,
536
00:19:56,020 --> 00:20:01,558
just be your normal, charming self.
537
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:03,293
Mingle. Make Mom mingle.
538
00:20:03,294 --> 00:20:04,627
With all the right people.
539
00:20:04,628 --> 00:20:06,462
And who would that be?
540
00:20:06,463 --> 00:20:08,464
The potential campaign donors
that the White House invited.
541
00:20:08,465 --> 00:20:11,367
Oh, and, Dad, it's kind of tricky,
542
00:20:11,368 --> 00:20:13,937
but, um, gonna need you
to police your bookshelves
543
00:20:13,938 --> 00:20:15,672
for any controversial titles.
544
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:18,675
Nope! No, no. Not happening.
545
00:20:18,676 --> 00:20:22,078
The First Amendment still
abides in the McCord house.
546
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:22,979
Mom...
547
00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:25,048
What can I do to help, Stephanie?
548
00:20:26,216 --> 00:20:29,719
Just don't be a pain in the ass.
549
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,254
Can I invite my beloved Piper?
550
00:20:31,255 --> 00:20:32,355
- No.
- Of course.
551
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:33,523
- Mom.
- Oh, great.
552
00:20:33,524 --> 00:20:35,391
- So, meeting adjourned.
- Okay, I got to get to work.
553
00:20:35,392 --> 00:20:36,926
- Bye, honey.
- Wait, are... But you're gonna... Bye.
554
00:20:36,927 --> 00:20:38,266
- Bye!
- But you're gonna be at the party, right?
555
00:20:38,267 --> 00:20:40,597
Wait, wait, wait. Dad, did you
get all of that? Are you good?
556
00:20:40,598 --> 00:20:42,131
Dad?
557
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:50,472
Suspect moving west.
558
00:20:53,977 --> 00:20:55,578
She's heading your way.
559
00:20:55,579 --> 00:20:57,679
Copy that.
560
00:21:06,356 --> 00:21:08,557
Alexander, hand me
that binder, would you?
561
00:21:09,892 --> 00:21:12,160
Thanks.
562
00:21:15,765 --> 00:21:18,468
Okay, that guy in the driveway
works for the Russian Embassy.
563
00:21:18,469 --> 00:21:20,336
This is the meet.
564
00:21:20,337 --> 00:21:21,938
Be advised, the man
565
00:21:21,939 --> 00:21:23,773
at the end of the driveway is a bogie.
566
00:21:23,774 --> 00:21:24,941
Remember, all we need to do
567
00:21:24,942 --> 00:21:26,609
is document the meet. Do not approach
568
00:21:26,610 --> 00:21:28,844
or intercept.
569
00:21:31,547 --> 00:21:33,216
Tony, who the hell are those guys?
570
00:21:33,217 --> 00:21:37,353
All units, don't follow
the bogie. We're blown.
571
00:21:39,957 --> 00:21:41,758
What was that?
572
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:42,825
We agreed to coordinate on this,
573
00:21:42,826 --> 00:21:44,270
and you spring two extra guys on me?
574
00:21:44,271 --> 00:21:46,306
This is an FBI op, and
we let you come on board.
575
00:21:46,307 --> 00:21:48,281
Look, the brass wanted
extra assets on scene.
576
00:21:48,282 --> 00:21:49,622
We lost the evidence we need
577
00:21:49,623 --> 00:21:50,843
- to break this case.
- This wasn't my call.
578
00:21:50,844 --> 00:21:52,579
And now the Russians are onto us.
579
00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:55,014
Carpenter will be onto us, too.
580
00:21:55,015 --> 00:21:58,685
Unless we grab up Magda
now, as quietly as possible.
581
00:21:58,686 --> 00:22:01,454
What do you think, Beau?
Do we have the votes?
582
00:22:01,455 --> 00:22:03,656
It'll be a squeaker,
583
00:22:03,657 --> 00:22:06,726
but you'll get your
treaty, Mr. President.
584
00:22:06,727 --> 00:22:08,428
Great. And I hope you'll attend
585
00:22:08,429 --> 00:22:09,562
the signing ceremony.
586
00:22:09,563 --> 00:22:10,964
It'll be low-key.
587
00:22:10,965 --> 00:22:13,299
With a vote this close, there's
always a chance it won't pass,
588
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:15,234
and I don't want to
have a bunch of cameras
589
00:22:15,235 --> 00:22:17,170
recording me falling on my face.
590
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:19,205
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
591
00:22:19,206 --> 00:22:20,406
I'll set it up.
592
00:22:20,407 --> 00:22:21,674
Beau.
593
00:22:21,675 --> 00:22:23,942
Mr. President.
594
00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:34,787
Everything,
595
00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:36,522
uh, all right there, Senator?
596
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:37,724
Where to start?
597
00:22:37,725 --> 00:22:40,326
The cold makes my knees ache.
598
00:22:40,327 --> 00:22:44,263
And now I've got a
stack of briefing books
599
00:22:44,264 --> 00:22:46,265
to read that are taller than I am.
600
00:22:48,569 --> 00:22:51,137
And, uh, my cleaning woman called in
601
00:22:51,138 --> 00:22:52,372
sick this morning.
602
00:22:52,373 --> 00:22:53,873
Very unusual.
603
00:22:53,874 --> 00:22:57,010
Apologies. At my age,
604
00:22:57,011 --> 00:23:00,647
the smallest inconveniences
give a person fits.
605
00:23:00,648 --> 00:23:02,248
Well, then,
606
00:23:02,249 --> 00:23:03,883
I must be mature beyond my years.
607
00:23:06,253 --> 00:23:08,087
I'm looking forward to visiting
608
00:23:08,088 --> 00:23:10,773
with you and your husband at your party.
609
00:23:10,774 --> 00:23:12,792
Well, we look forward
to seeing you there.
610
00:23:12,793 --> 00:23:13,960
Well, in that case,
611
00:23:13,961 --> 00:23:15,995
I'll say good-bye to you both.
612
00:23:15,996 --> 00:23:18,296
Thank you.
613
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:20,600
Come on. What's next?
614
00:23:20,601 --> 00:23:22,435
You think he knows something's up?
615
00:23:22,436 --> 00:23:24,303
Not yet.
616
00:23:24,304 --> 00:23:25,872
Okay.
617
00:23:25,873 --> 00:23:28,241
We had to loop in Carpenter's
Capitol Police detail,
618
00:23:28,242 --> 00:23:31,177
not to mention that snake Morejon.
619
00:23:31,178 --> 00:23:33,746
OpSec is hanging on by a thread here.
620
00:23:33,747 --> 00:23:37,116
But if by some miracle,
we do actually bust him,
621
00:23:37,117 --> 00:23:40,653
I remind you, Carpenter
is your 67th vote.
622
00:23:40,654 --> 00:23:46,124
If he gets arrested,
where'll your treaty be then?
623
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,397
Look, Magda, we know you're
not telling us the truth.
624
00:23:51,398 --> 00:23:53,833
And you're not getting
out of here until you do.
625
00:23:53,834 --> 00:23:55,301
So start talking.
626
00:23:55,302 --> 00:23:56,936
Yes, okay.
627
00:23:56,937 --> 00:23:58,604
I passed messages from the senator
628
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:00,673
to the man that you say is Russian.
629
00:24:00,674 --> 00:24:03,176
Sometimes the other way, too.
630
00:24:03,177 --> 00:24:04,444
But I don't know him.
631
00:24:04,445 --> 00:24:07,346
I don't know what the messages mean.
632
00:24:07,347 --> 00:24:09,649
They're usually just two or three words.
633
00:24:09,650 --> 00:24:11,250
I just pass them along.
634
00:24:11,251 --> 00:24:13,386
Because you're a Russian asset.
635
00:24:13,387 --> 00:24:16,089
You obviously don't know the
history of Russia and Hungary.
636
00:24:16,090 --> 00:24:17,657
Then why are you passing
637
00:24:17,658 --> 00:24:20,325
classified intelligence to the Russians?
638
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:26,132
He helped my daughter to
get into a good school.
639
00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:27,967
He paid me for all the time
640
00:24:27,968 --> 00:24:30,236
I took off when my mother got sick.
641
00:24:30,237 --> 00:24:32,504
He's a good man.
642
00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:35,007
What do you think?
643
00:24:35,008 --> 00:24:36,022
I believe her.
644
00:24:36,023 --> 00:24:37,710
Me, too. So now what?
645
00:24:37,711 --> 00:24:39,779
Well, we've got enough to charge her,
646
00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:41,981
but still not much of a
case against Carpenter.
647
00:24:41,982 --> 00:24:44,183
All he'd need to do is
deny sending her messages,
648
00:24:44,184 --> 00:24:45,536
and then it's his word against hers.
649
00:24:45,537 --> 00:24:46,860
The longer Carpenter
doesn't hear from her,
650
00:24:46,861 --> 00:24:48,026
the more suspicious he'll be.
651
00:24:48,027 --> 00:24:50,469
And once he gets wind of the
investigation and lawyers up,
652
00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:52,037
this case gets much harder to prove.
653
00:24:52,038 --> 00:24:54,139
Look, we have enough PC for a warrant,
654
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:56,742
but a high-profile raid on the
Senate majority leader's house?
655
00:24:56,743 --> 00:24:58,544
You better know what you're gonna find
656
00:24:58,545 --> 00:24:59,912
before you go in there.
657
00:24:59,913 --> 00:25:02,114
This is counterintelligence,
so we do have some latitude
658
00:25:02,115 --> 00:25:04,349
for a secret search. What
we don't have is time.
659
00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:06,617
Wait. The party.
660
00:25:07,586 --> 00:25:10,155
He's coming to my wife's
holiday party tonight.
661
00:25:10,156 --> 00:25:12,456
We can hit the house then.
662
00:25:19,563 --> 00:25:22,708
So, uh, given the time and...
663
00:25:22,709 --> 00:25:25,077
financial constraints, here's my plan.
664
00:25:25,078 --> 00:25:26,779
First, food.
665
00:25:26,780 --> 00:25:29,782
Uh, my friend Javi owns one of
the hottest food trucks in town,
666
00:25:29,783 --> 00:25:31,350
so he is going to be doing
667
00:25:31,351 --> 00:25:33,952
passed appetizers and three
different taco preparations.
668
00:25:33,953 --> 00:25:35,099
Please enjoy.
669
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,750
Ma'am, I got to say,
these tacos are legit.
670
00:25:36,751 --> 00:25:40,053
Right? Drinks-wise, we've
got a couple wines and beers,
671
00:25:40,054 --> 00:25:42,989
champagne and one signature cocktail.
672
00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:44,591
It is a Mexican twist
673
00:25:44,592 --> 00:25:46,693
on a traditional holiday punch.
674
00:25:46,694 --> 00:25:48,228
- Can we try that, too?
- I wish.
675
00:25:48,229 --> 00:25:50,296
Entertainment will be provided
676
00:25:50,297 --> 00:25:53,266
by the amazing Seventh Floor Singers.
677
00:25:54,802 --> 00:25:58,604
And in accordance with
federal ethics guidelines,
678
00:25:58,605 --> 00:26:00,667
they will be there only as guests,
679
00:26:00,668 --> 00:26:03,162
so they can perform as few
or as many songs as they like.
680
00:26:03,163 --> 00:26:05,565
More than karaoke, less than a concert.
681
00:26:05,566 --> 00:26:06,966
- Thank God.
- Here
682
00:26:06,967 --> 00:26:10,002
is the finalized guest list
per The White House and Mike B.
683
00:26:10,003 --> 00:26:11,939
- What? No POTUS and FLOTUS?
- They don't want to take up
684
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:12,803
all the oxygen.
685
00:26:12,804 --> 00:26:15,705
Also, notice the names
Jacob and Natalie Barker.
686
00:26:15,706 --> 00:26:18,808
Those are the bigwigs I'm
supposed to suck up to?
687
00:26:18,809 --> 00:26:20,310
Or just feign interest
in for 15 minutes.
688
00:26:20,311 --> 00:26:21,477
What about the five
689
00:26:21,478 --> 00:26:23,479
senators I'm trying to win over,
690
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,049
and... and the-the
family from the video?
691
00:26:26,050 --> 00:26:27,183
Already RSVP'd.
692
00:26:27,184 --> 00:26:28,685
Oh.
693
00:26:28,686 --> 00:26:30,086
Oh, no.
694
00:26:30,087 --> 00:26:31,321
No, no.
695
00:26:31,322 --> 00:26:32,689
Carlos Morejon?
696
00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:34,057
And his wife Vicki,
697
00:26:34,058 --> 00:26:35,758
the retweeter.
698
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:37,527
You do know that we
699
00:26:37,528 --> 00:26:38,895
hate each other.
700
00:26:38,896 --> 00:26:41,331
Yeah. It's classic D.C. jiu jitsu.
701
00:26:41,332 --> 00:26:44,100
He has to come, you look
gracious, he feels awkward,
702
00:26:44,101 --> 00:26:45,635
and you win. Trust me. It's perfect.
703
00:26:45,636 --> 00:26:46,836
Whatever. We're...
704
00:26:46,837 --> 00:26:49,539
Are we... done?
705
00:26:49,540 --> 00:26:52,275
Um, Alison needs at least an hour before
706
00:26:52,276 --> 00:26:54,210
to get you dressed and made up.
707
00:26:54,211 --> 00:26:56,312
I think we can get it done in half that.
708
00:26:56,313 --> 00:26:57,680

Mom?
715
00:27:09,225 --> 00:27:11,728
You are a diva.
716
00:27:11,729 --> 00:27:13,396
Oh, please. What kind of
717
00:27:13,397 --> 00:27:16,766
a diva wants less time
in hair and makeup?
718
00:27:16,767 --> 00:27:18,568

that she actually makes
everything way harder.
721
00:27:22,239 --> 00:27:25,942
Fine. Do I resent that to
try to do something good,
722
00:27:25,943 --> 00:27:27,977
I have to go through this
whole charade and spend a bunch
723

00:27:30,914 --> 00:27:32,415
Yeah, kind of.

726
00:27:33,717 --> 00:27:35,618

- We're running out of time.
- Copy that.
842
00:32:06,846 --> 00:32:09,149

are plenty of things
857
00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:44,951
- we can agree upon.
- Oh, listen,

despite your softhearted worldview,
859
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:50,357
I truly believe that
you want what's best,
860
00:32:50,358 --> 00:32:52,592

885
00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:48,815

to do with his son.

00:33:50,117 --> 00:33:52,452
I got to go. He's on his way.

Alpha Team, five-minute warning.

Copy that.
890
00:33:56,924 --> 00:33:59,092
My wife just had a
conversation with Carpenter.
891
00:33:59,093 --> 00:34:01,361
Her gut is that whatever
the Russians have on him,
892
00:34:01,362 --> 00:34:03,029
it has something to do with his son.
893
00:34:03,030 --> 00:34:04,564
Do you want to use our last moments
894
00:34:04,565 --> 00:34:06,366
to chase a feeling your wife had?
895
00:34:06,367 --> 00:34:08,234
She was CIA for 20 years.
896
00:34:08,235 --> 00:34:10,069
We've gotten nowhere, anyway.
897
00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:12,038
Look... I trust her.
898
00:34:12,039 --> 00:34:13,373
Alpha Team,
899
00:34:13,374 --> 00:34:15,375
focus your remaining time
on looking for material
900
00:34:15,376 --> 00:34:17,243
on Carpenter's son. Do you copy?
901
00:34:17,244 --> 00:34:18,544
Copy that.
902
00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:43,825
Senator Carpenter is home.
903
00:34:43,826 --> 00:34:46,193
Get out now.
904
00:34:48,130 --> 00:34:51,099
Good night, Gary.

00:34:56,605 --> 00:34:59,808

00:35:05,481 --> 00:35:07,781
Copy.
910
00:35:24,933 --> 00:35:28,670
I guess we'll have to chat with
the secretary some other time.
911
00:35:28,671 --> 00:35:30,806
Who knew she got along so
well with Carlos Morejon?
912
00:35:30,807 --> 00:35:33,308
Well, that's our Bess... always
looking to build those bridges.
913
00:35:33,309 --> 00:35:35,076
That's why we love her.
914
00:35:35,077 --> 00:35:36,211
Please.

916
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,481
I learned something
917
00:35:39,482 --> 00:35:41,416
about you tonight.
918
00:35:41,417 --> 00:35:43,351
Oh, yeah? What's that?
919
00:35:43,352 --> 00:35:45,754
Well, when the stakes
920
00:35:45,755 --> 00:35:48,723
are high enough...
921
00:35:48,724 --> 00:35:53,128
you do put the greater good
above your own interests.
922
00:35:53,129 --> 00:35:56,331
There's that famous
McCord moral smugness.
923
00:35:56,332 --> 00:35:59,501
I wonder how the voters
are gonna take to that.
924
00:35:59,502 --> 00:36:01,436
I don't want to be president.
925
00:36:01,437 --> 00:36:04,113
Good, 'cause I don't
think you're gonna win.
926
00:36:05,044 --> 00:36:08,744
Anyway, I think we both
know that after tonight,
927
00:36:08,745 --> 00:36:11,747
I'm probably going to be one vote short
928
00:36:11,748 --> 00:36:13,649
on the land mines treaty.
929
00:36:13,650 --> 00:36:15,785
- Oh.
- I could use yours.
930
00:36:15,786 --> 00:36:18,020
That's why you had the
couple from that video
931
00:36:18,021 --> 00:36:19,588
in my wife's ear all night.
932
00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:21,257
Clever.
933
00:36:21,258 --> 00:36:22,907
But it's not gonna work.
934
00:36:22,908 --> 00:36:27,311
Look, protecting American
sovereignty and safety,
935
00:36:27,312 --> 00:36:29,980
that's why I take the tough votes.
936
00:36:29,981 --> 00:36:32,917
Carlos, everyone already
knows you're tough.
937
00:36:32,918 --> 00:36:36,230
What the voters don't
know is whether or not
938
00:36:36,231 --> 00:36:38,166
you've got a soul.
939
00:36:38,167 --> 00:36:40,568
If you buck
940
00:36:40,569 --> 00:36:42,770
your more extreme colleagues now,
941
00:36:42,771 --> 00:36:46,674
no one will care by the time
the primaries roll around.
942
00:36:46,675 --> 00:36:48,976
But those suburban moms in...

St. Louis and Tampa,
944
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,714
they will still remember the video

of that little girl in the minefield,

and they will respect that you
947
00:36:58,821 --> 00:37:02,557
had the guts to stand up and cast
948
00:37:02,558 --> 00:37:05,293
the decisive vote for what's right.
949
00:37:08,964 --> 00:37:12,733

Thanks for coming, Senator.

Please tell me that you're
not friends with him now.

No.
955

But he is more complex than I thought.

Hey, if you can find
the humanity in that guy,
957
00:37:41,230 --> 00:37:43,130
you got my vote.

Well, that's very sweet of you.

I'm not sure Russell and Mike

such a high rating.
961
00:37:50,005 --> 00:37:52,206
So what? I see the way
962
00:37:52,207 --> 00:37:54,942
Dalton carries himself,
the way people react to him.
963
00:37:54,943 --> 00:37:58,345
I saw the same thing tonight.
964
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,848
I saw a president.
965
00:38:00,849 --> 00:38:05,419
But also kind of a
pain in the ass, right?
966
00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:07,188
I'm being serious.
967
00:38:07,189 --> 00:38:09,990
Then I'm gonna be serious, too.

You're welcome.
975
00:38:34,181 --> 00:38:37,751
Got to go check something
with Javi before he takes off.

980
00:38:54,669 --> 00:38:56,636
Good.
981
00:38:57,371 --> 00:38:59,273
So you were just...
982
00:38:59,274 --> 00:39:02,610
out for a random late-night run?
983
00:39:02,611 --> 00:39:04,946
Hmm. Something like that.
984
00:39:06,281 --> 00:39:09,283
I really just wanted to
see you all dressed up.
985
00:39:09,284 --> 00:39:10,885
Oh...
986
00:39:10,886 --> 00:39:12,452
Okay.
987
00:39:13,187 --> 00:39:14,722
Here it is.
988
00:39:14,723 --> 00:39:17,858
- Want to see the whole thing?
- Uh... yeah, I do.
989
00:39:19,828 --> 00:39:20,995
Well?
990
00:39:20,996 --> 00:39:22,196
Well?
991
00:39:22,197 --> 00:39:24,131
Well...
992
00:39:24,132 --> 00:39:26,833
you already know what I think.
993
00:39:31,939 --> 00:39:34,942
- Car's all set, Congressman.
- Thank you.
994
00:39:34,943 --> 00:39:38,645
Well, I have to go. Uh...
995
00:39:39,380 --> 00:39:41,681
Okay.
996
00:39:46,954 --> 00:39:48,589
Hey, you should have,
997
00:39:48,590 --> 00:39:49,957
um...
998
00:39:49,958 --> 00:39:53,094
you should have said, "I
got to run," 'cause the...
999
00:39:53,095 --> 00:39:55,495
Oh. 'Cause... Yeah.
1000
00:39:56,530 --> 00:39:58,264
All right.
1001
00:40:06,173 --> 00:40:08,009
So your son says, "Dad, I screwed up.
1002
00:40:08,010 --> 00:40:10,111
"I'm looking at bankruptcy,
maybe even prison.
1003
00:40:10,112 --> 00:40:11,479
"But these Russian bankers
1004
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,347
have offered to bail me out."
1005
00:40:13,348 --> 00:40:15,282
And you want to help,
so you take the money,
1006
00:40:15,283 --> 00:40:16,650
pass it through shell corporations,
1007
00:40:16,651 --> 00:40:18,786
then give it to him so it
looks like a family loan...
1008
00:40:18,787 --> 00:40:19,954
- is that accurate?
- Don't answer that,
1009
00:40:19,955 --> 00:40:21,055
Senator.
1010
00:40:21,056 --> 00:40:22,556
It'd be better for him if he does.
1011
00:40:22,557 --> 00:40:24,492
- We already have the documents.
- Obtained through
1012
00:40:24,493 --> 00:40:26,360
a highly questionable search, which...
1013
00:40:26,361 --> 00:40:28,396
- Who the hell is this?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
1014
00:40:28,397 --> 00:40:29,897
Was it worth it?
1015
00:40:29,898 --> 00:40:33,134
I'm not generally in the
habit of making confessions
1016
00:40:33,135 --> 00:40:34,735
to the CIA!
1017
00:40:34,736 --> 00:40:36,237
Wait a minute, this guy is CIA?
1018
00:40:36,238 --> 00:40:37,505
Was it worth it?
1019
00:40:37,506 --> 00:40:40,474
I sent courageous, dedicated
Americans into the field,
1020
00:40:40,475 --> 00:40:41,709
and they trusted us.
1021
00:40:41,710 --> 00:40:44,345
They trusted you to have
their backs, and you...
1022
00:40:44,346 --> 00:40:45,780
betrayed them.
1023
00:40:45,781 --> 00:40:48,416
So you could keep your
son out of a Club Fed
1024
00:40:48,417 --> 00:40:49,850
for a couple of years?
1025
00:40:49,851 --> 00:40:52,253
What about their families?
1026
00:40:52,254 --> 00:40:54,655
Those families won't
even know how they died.
1027
00:40:54,656 --> 00:40:56,624
I can barely live with it.
1028
00:40:56,625 --> 00:40:58,426
- How can you?
- That's enough.
1029
00:40:58,427 --> 00:41:00,361
It's a very simple question, Senator.
1030
00:41:00,362 --> 00:41:02,829
Was it worth it?
1031
00:41:07,001 --> 00:41:09,804
What have I done?
1032
00:41:09,805 --> 00:41:11,539
Sweet...
1033
00:41:11,540 --> 00:41:13,506
Jesus.
1034
00:41:14,842 --> 00:41:17,244
What have I done?
1035
00:41:17,245 --> 00:41:19,213
This is all inadmissible.
1036
00:41:19,214 --> 00:41:22,081
It's... it's over, Carl.
1037
00:41:24,752 --> 00:41:26,620
It's over.
1038
00:41:26,621 --> 00:41:28,289
With today's vote,
1039
00:41:28,290 --> 00:41:32,660
the Senate has officially
ratified the Calgary Treaty,
1040
00:41:32,661 --> 00:41:35,162
and the United States has
finally assumed the mantle
1041
00:41:35,163 --> 00:41:36,730
of moral leadership
1042
00:41:36,731 --> 00:41:39,300
to eradicate the scourge of land mines
1043
00:41:39,301 --> 00:41:40,468
from this Earth.
1044
00:41:40,469 --> 00:41:41,669
I'm heartened
1045
00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:43,404
that President Li of China,
1046
00:41:43,405 --> 00:41:46,674
one of the world's largest producers
1047
00:41:46,675 --> 00:41:49,610
of antipersonnel land mines,
has also agreed to take
1048
00:41:49,611 --> 00:41:50,945
this crucial step.
1049
00:41:50,946 --> 00:41:53,914
This is indeed a proud moment,
1050
00:41:53,915 --> 00:41:57,685
not just for the United
States, but for the world.
1051
00:41:57,686 --> 00:41:59,519
Thank you.
1052
00:42:07,661 --> 00:42:09,130
Big day.
1053
00:42:09,131 --> 00:42:11,065
Too bad no one's watching,
1054
00:42:11,066 --> 00:42:13,567
- with all this Beau Carpenter business.
- Yeah.
1055
00:42:13,568 --> 00:42:15,903
And Morejon was the swing vote.
1056
00:42:15,904 --> 00:42:17,505
I still don't know
how you pulled it off,
1057
00:42:17,506 --> 00:42:18,706
but I'm impressed.
1058
00:42:18,707 --> 00:42:20,174
And so are the Barkers.
1059
00:42:20,175 --> 00:42:21,876
Well...
1060
00:42:21,877 --> 00:42:23,511
good for them.
1061
00:42:23,512 --> 00:42:25,779
I thought you'd be pleased.
1062
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:30,484
Russell, I told you I
don't care about that.
1063
00:42:30,485 --> 00:42:33,020
Russia just pulled off the
highest-level infiltration
1064
00:42:33,021 --> 00:42:36,590
of our government in our history.
1065
00:42:36,591 --> 00:42:39,226
And I intend to do
everything in my power
1066
00:42:39,227 --> 00:42:41,027
