1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:02,227
Previously on Designated Survivor...
2
00:00:02,311 --> 00:00:03,228
Foerstel is digging,
3
00:00:03,312 --> 00:00:05,439
even though we managed to quash
your mother-in-law's subpoena.
4
00:00:05,522 --> 00:00:07,357
Now we know it's an ongoing investigation.
5
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:11,236
I told my daughter that I hadn't seen
Eric Little since 1987,
6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,449
and that's technically not true.
I saw him briefly six months ago.
7
00:00:15,532 --> 00:00:17,034
Are we gonna talk about this?
8
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,827
- Talk about what?
- What happened between us.
9
00:00:18,911 --> 00:00:20,245
Nothing's happened between us.
10
00:00:20,996 --> 00:00:24,041
Charlotte Thorn was a British rep.
They were touting her as a future P.M.
11
00:00:25,751 --> 00:00:27,669
- The Thorn murder?
- The Prime Minister's furious.
12
00:00:27,753 --> 00:00:30,088
- Perhaps I could smooth things.
- That would be great.
13
00:00:30,172 --> 00:00:32,132
That's five hours before Thorn was killed.
14
00:00:32,216 --> 00:00:34,176
Let's run her visitor
through facial recognition.
15
00:00:34,259 --> 00:00:35,928
Secretary Moss?
16
00:00:38,347 --> 00:00:40,015
In the last month,
17
00:00:40,098 --> 00:00:44,228
hundreds of journalists expelled
from our great nation!
18
00:00:44,728 --> 00:00:48,065
Voices of dissent, silenced -
19
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,900
some of them killed!
20
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:56,073
And President Turan, he breaks ground
on a brand new $20 million villa!
21
00:00:57,616 --> 00:00:59,576
So, what do we want to say to him?
22
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,536
Turan must go!
23
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,289
Turan must go!
Turan must go!
24
00:01:04,373 --> 00:01:06,292
Opposition leader Nuri Sahin
25
00:01:06,375 --> 00:01:08,586
has gathered activists
outside the Turkish embassy
26
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:10,296
to condemn President Fatih Turan,
27
00:01:10,379 --> 00:01:12,464
who's in town this week
for a NATO summit.
28
00:01:12,547 --> 00:01:13,840
This is...
29
00:01:13,924 --> 00:01:14,967
Turan's people are hinting
30
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:17,302
they want to jack up the leases
on our airfields.
31
00:01:17,386 --> 00:01:19,888
I know why he needs the money.
Elections are in six months.
32
00:01:19,972 --> 00:01:22,766
- He's building a war chest.
- Yep. He's got a lot of votes to buy.
33
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:25,769
Not with any more of our money.
We pay more than enough for those bases:
34
00:01:25,852 --> 00:01:27,312
$6 billion a year.
35
00:01:27,396 --> 00:01:29,272
Yeah, I'd be ready to break the bank, sir.
36
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:32,442
The strategic value of those airfields
to NATO is enormous.
37
00:01:32,526 --> 00:01:34,236
We store nuclear weapons there.
38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,656
Without that real estate, Russia can make
the Middle East its own personal sandbox.
39
00:01:37,739 --> 00:01:40,033
So you need to make nice
at our joint presser:
40
00:01:40,117 --> 00:01:43,578
assure the world of the fundamental
importance of the U.S.-Turkey alliance.
41
00:01:43,662 --> 00:01:45,038
You mean give the bastard oxygen.
42
00:01:45,122 --> 00:01:46,915
That's a more succinct way of putting it.
43
00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:53,922
This was taken the night
before your boss was murdered.
44
00:01:54,006 --> 00:01:56,717
And the gentleman you see entering
Charlotte Thorn's room there
45
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,136
is Secretary of State Cornelius Moss.
46
00:01:59,845 --> 00:02:01,388
I don't know anything about that.
47
00:02:01,471 --> 00:02:03,390
You didn't know
they were carrying on an affair?
48
00:02:03,473 --> 00:02:06,018
- No.
- Quite a secret to keep from an assistant
49
00:02:06,101 --> 00:02:09,062
you were joined at the hip with
for the past seven years.
50
00:02:09,146 --> 00:02:11,231
Which is his way of saying
we don't believe you.
51
00:02:13,942 --> 00:02:17,070
They met at a human rights conference
in Dubai last year.
52
00:02:17,154 --> 00:02:19,865
- Was it serious?
- It was headed that way.
53
00:02:20,490 --> 00:02:23,785
Charlotte was still finalizing
her divorce, so they kept it discreet.
54
00:02:23,869 --> 00:02:26,955
They met all over the world.
But it was petering out.
55
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,583
- Why do you think that?
- Because they started arguing.
56
00:02:29,666 --> 00:02:31,126
I don't know about what.
57
00:02:31,209 --> 00:02:33,337
Do you know
when their last argument was?
58
00:02:35,964 --> 00:02:38,675
Secretary Moss came by her office
for an hour
59
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,011
on the afternoon of the 21st.
60
00:02:41,511 --> 00:02:43,472
- The day before she was killed.
- Yes.
61
00:02:44,056 --> 00:02:46,016
There were raised voices.
He left quite unhappy.
62
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:48,185
And you didn't think
to tell us any of this.
63
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:52,272
Secretary Moss is a former President.
He couldn't have killed her.
64
00:02:53,148 --> 00:02:56,318
Okay. It is not your job
to protect his reputation.
65
00:02:56,401 --> 00:02:58,278
I'm not protecting his reputation.
66
00:02:59,029 --> 00:03:02,741
Charlotte was a beacon
of moral authority to millions.
67
00:03:03,575 --> 00:03:05,369
How do you think
she's going to be remembered
68
00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:09,081
if it comes out that she was having an
affair before her divorce was even final?
69
00:03:09,956 --> 00:03:11,792
Excuse me.
70
00:03:17,881 --> 00:03:19,716
You're an ex-President.
71
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,677
The woman you've been sleeping with
kicks you to the curb.
72
00:03:22,761 --> 00:03:24,679
How's that conversation go?
73
00:03:25,889 --> 00:03:29,101
Probably better than the one
we're going to have with him.
74
00:03:29,684 --> 00:03:32,229
I can't believe
I'm actually in the Oval Office.
75
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:34,314
- It's cool, right?
- Yeah.
76
00:03:34,398 --> 00:03:37,109
- I'll show you Air Force One later.
- Really?
77
00:03:37,192 --> 00:03:38,819
You gotta check out
the Lincoln Bedroom.
78
00:03:38,902 --> 00:03:40,612
I'd love to.
79
00:03:41,738 --> 00:03:43,490
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
80
00:03:44,324 --> 00:03:45,617
Dad, this is Sibyl.
81
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:47,285
Sibyl, my dad.
82
00:03:47,369 --> 00:03:50,080
- It's an honor to meet you, Mr. President.
- It's nice to meet you.
83
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,456
Is my son being a gracious host?
84
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:52,749
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
85
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,710
You're the first person
he's wanted to show his new home to.
86
00:03:57,379 --> 00:03:59,339
Leo, okay if I go freshen up?
87
00:03:59,923 --> 00:04:01,633
Yeah, just around the corner.
88
00:04:01,716 --> 00:04:03,218
Thanks.
89
00:04:05,554 --> 00:04:06,972
It's been an honor, sir.
90
00:04:07,055 --> 00:04:09,057
It's very nice
to finally meet you, Sibyl.
91
00:04:09,141 --> 00:04:10,642
Just over there to the left.
92
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:14,855
You were supposed
to run into us at 10:00.
93
00:04:14,938 --> 00:04:17,482
- It's 10:12. I figured you weren't coming.
- I'm sorry. I got busy.
94
00:04:17,566 --> 00:04:18,859
You totally killed the vibe.
95
00:04:18,942 --> 00:04:21,862
Wow. "Thanks, Dad,
for letting me use the Oval Office."
96
00:04:21,945 --> 00:04:24,448
I'm sorry, I just... I really like her.
97
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:27,826
I know you do. I know. She's lovely.
98
00:04:28,785 --> 00:04:31,079
Gonna go check on her,
make sure she's okay.
99
00:04:31,163 --> 00:04:32,372
Yeah, okay.
100
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:39,880
- How's it going?
- Not so good.
101
00:04:41,465 --> 00:04:43,175
Should've shown her
the Lincoln Bedroom.
102
00:04:43,884 --> 00:04:45,635
That's what I would've done.
103
00:04:47,554 --> 00:04:49,764
Mom, I just want
to say this again.
104
00:04:49,848 --> 00:04:52,309
You do not have to talk to the FBI.
105
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:56,062
The subpoena that Director Foerstel
issued to you was quashed.
106
00:04:56,146 --> 00:04:58,356
Right, because he didn't know
about my little run-in
107
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,485
with Eric Little six months ago.
And neither did you.
108
00:05:01,568 --> 00:05:03,195
I'm not blaming you.
109
00:05:03,278 --> 00:05:07,699
My point is that if he finds out,
he just issues another subpoena, right?
110
00:05:07,782 --> 00:05:08,783
He'd have to.
111
00:05:08,867 --> 00:05:13,205
I started all this because I took
that bribe. And I will finish it.
112
00:05:13,288 --> 00:05:16,208
The goal is to convince Director Foerstel
that Icarus Astrotech
113
00:05:16,291 --> 00:05:19,377
had no "pattern of influence"
that leads to the White House.
114
00:05:19,461 --> 00:05:20,504
I understand that.
115
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:23,548
All he's gonna want to talk about
is Eric Little.
116
00:05:23,632 --> 00:05:27,302
And as long as I steer him away
from my recent meeting with him,
117
00:05:27,385 --> 00:05:30,555
then everything's fine, right?
118
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,390
Yes. That's the whole game.
119
00:05:32,474 --> 00:05:35,352
Do not volunteer anything about
what happened six months ago.
120
00:05:35,435 --> 00:05:37,437
You focus on what happened
30 years ago,
121
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,856
where the statute of limitations
has expired.
122
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:43,944
And if Director Foerstel doesn't bring up
the most recent Eric Little meeting,
123
00:05:44,027 --> 00:05:46,571
then your candor will go a long
way towards convincing him
124
00:05:46,655 --> 00:05:48,448
that there's no conspiracy,
125
00:05:49,032 --> 00:05:51,493
which means we may be home free.
126
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,578
And if he does bring it up?
127
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:59,542
Then at least we've gotten
in front of it.
128
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:06,883
The United States and Turkey have a
long-standing friendship and partnership,
129
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:11,179
one rooted in the shared respect
and understanding of our common values.
130
00:06:11,263 --> 00:06:14,474
More than $17 billion in bilateral trade
last year alone -
131
00:06:14,558 --> 00:06:17,769
a strong strategic alliance
that protects the region.
132
00:06:17,852 --> 00:06:21,231
And a strategic alliance that is
centered around forward Air Force bases,
133
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:24,651
whose long-term leases
we look forward to renegotiating.
134
00:06:24,734 --> 00:06:28,572
It is this abiding connection between
our countries that we want to maintain,
135
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:34,035
which is why I'm so troubled that
America continues to give safe haven
136
00:06:34,119 --> 00:06:36,371
to Nuri Sahin,
an enemy of the Turkish people.
137
00:06:36,454 --> 00:06:38,873
- What is Turan doing?
- Going off book.
138
00:06:38,957 --> 00:06:42,585
Mr. Sahin staged an unsuccessful coup
against my government.
139
00:06:43,086 --> 00:06:45,839
- And now he has found sanctuary here.
- Way off book.
140
00:06:45,922 --> 00:06:48,383
President Turan and I have
a difference of opinion here.
141
00:06:48,466 --> 00:06:52,220
Nuri Sahin is a visiting professor
at Georgetown University.
142
00:06:52,304 --> 00:06:54,764
He abides by our laws, and he is welcome,
143
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:58,143
as long as he grades on a curve.
144
00:06:58,226 --> 00:07:00,812
So then you continue to provide
the terrorist safe harbor.
145
00:07:00,895 --> 00:07:02,397
Everybody, we're going to adjourn
146
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,316
to the East Room for photos. Thank you.
147
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:05,942
Thank you.
148
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:09,446
Sir, maybe you want to take a few minutes
and calm down before you go in there?
149
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:10,864
What? I'm calm.
150
00:07:10,947 --> 00:07:13,450
- You don't look calm.
- I'm calm!
151
00:07:14,451 --> 00:07:15,744
Oh, boy.
152
00:07:16,745 --> 00:07:19,497
Mr. President, with all due respect,
what the hell was that?
153
00:07:19,581 --> 00:07:21,541
I think the meaning was clear.
154
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:24,336
Then perhaps you're in need
of a diplomatic primer.
155
00:07:24,419 --> 00:07:27,464
Prepared statements serve a purpose,
so neither side can embarrass the other.
156
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:28,715
I'm not embarrassed.
157
00:07:29,424 --> 00:07:32,636
But you should be, for giving asylum
to an enemy of our state.
158
00:07:32,719 --> 00:07:34,304
We have not given asylum to anyone.
159
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:36,765
Then extradite Sahin
so he can face justice!
160
00:07:36,848 --> 00:07:39,351
There's no legal basis for that.
He hasn't committed a crime.
161
00:07:39,434 --> 00:07:41,686
In your country.
In ours, he's a murderer;
162
00:07:42,312 --> 00:07:44,689
97 civilian casualties
in the coup attempt.
163
00:07:44,773 --> 00:07:46,524
Our intelligence shows
that the coup attempt
164
00:07:46,608 --> 00:07:48,735
was carried out by a faction
of the Turkish military.
165
00:07:48,818 --> 00:07:52,030
- Mr. Sahin had nothing to do with it.
- Your intelligence is flawed!
166
00:07:52,113 --> 00:07:55,492
And so is your impulse to interfere
with domestic Turkish affairs.
167
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:57,077
Quite the opposite, sir.
168
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,245
If we had extradited him,
we would have interfered.
169
00:07:59,329 --> 00:08:02,207
I wonder if Turkey had welcomed
Patrick Lloyd,
170
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:04,084
whether you'd feel the same way?
171
00:08:05,168 --> 00:08:09,214
Mr. President, that comparison
is not even worthy of a response.
172
00:08:10,382 --> 00:08:12,676
And you are no longer worthy
of our bases.
173
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:17,806
But perhaps Russia is, Mr. President.
174
00:08:24,061 --> 00:08:29,061

175
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,388
Turan must go!
176
00:08:32,471 --> 00:08:34,348
Turan must go!
177
00:08:34,431 --> 00:08:35,557
Turan must go!
178
00:08:37,685 --> 00:08:39,228
I was blown away by last night.
179
00:08:39,311 --> 00:08:40,604
Thanks again.
180
00:08:40,688 --> 00:08:42,523
Sorry I didn't get to show you
the Residence.
181
00:08:42,606 --> 00:08:43,691
Next time?
182
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,778
Uh, let's cut up Waterside.
183
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:50,447
But the cafe I wanted to show you
is just around the corner.
184
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:53,867
- Here, grab one. We need all hands.
- Sorry, I'm not interested.
185
00:08:53,951 --> 00:08:55,577
You're not interested in human rights?
186
00:08:55,661 --> 00:08:57,204
The violent suppression of dissent?
Mass arrests?
187
00:08:57,287 --> 00:08:59,581
Too busy spending Daddy's money
to give a crap about...
188
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:01,083
- Hey! Get out of her face!
- Leo!
189
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:04,503
Get him out of here. Let's go.
Clear the area.
190
00:09:06,422 --> 00:09:08,841
Right now, Nuri Sahin
is the only realistic hope
191
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:10,718
for a democratic, secular Turkey.
192
00:09:10,801 --> 00:09:12,720
Which is why he poses
such a threat to Turan.
193
00:09:12,803 --> 00:09:15,514
And why Turan's on the warpath.
My contacts at NATO are telling me
194
00:09:15,597 --> 00:09:17,933
that he wants to bring a motion
to censure the United States.
195
00:09:18,017 --> 00:09:20,644
That's absurd. We cover
nearly a quarter of NATO's budget.
196
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:23,147
- The vote will never carry.
- No, of course not.
197
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,857
But passing the motion isn't Turan's goal.
198
00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:27,568
- What is?
- Undermining us on the world stage.
199
00:09:27,651 --> 00:09:30,154
With the limited good will
the Administration has banked abroad,
200
00:09:30,237 --> 00:09:32,281
we can't afford our allies
to be taking jabs, sir.
201
00:09:32,364 --> 00:09:34,283
And this isn't even a jab.
It's a roundhouse.
202
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:37,202
He's right, sir. We can't let
this motion come up for a vote.
203
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:40,956
Aaron, apparently President Turan is
getting ready to move against us in NATO.
204
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,959
I've heard, sir. I just got a draft
of the measure. It's a stinging rebuke.
205
00:09:44,043 --> 00:09:45,711
Well, we'll have Secretary Moss block it.
206
00:09:45,794 --> 00:09:49,298
Actually, sir, there's been
an issue with the Secretary.
207
00:09:49,757 --> 00:09:51,967
He's recently emerged
as a person of interest
208
00:09:52,051 --> 00:09:54,428
in the murder investigation
of Charlotte Thorn.
209
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:56,013
What are you talking about?
210
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:57,389
He was having an affair with her
211
00:09:57,473 --> 00:09:59,725
and was seen at her apartment
hours before the murder.
212
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,185
Are you kidding?
213
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:04,188
- Did he disclose this to anyone?
- No, sir.
214
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:06,356
He was too busy involving himself
in the investigation.
215
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,401
- Have you talked to him?
- Not yet. We wanted to apprise you first.
216
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:13,781
Son of a bitch!
217
00:10:13,864 --> 00:10:16,909
We're talking about
a former President here.
218
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:18,535
I know him. He...
219
00:10:19,161 --> 00:10:22,331
He's my friend. There has to be
a reasonable explanation.
220
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:26,001
And he should be afforded the same
presumption of innocence as anyone else.
221
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:28,712
But he cannot be allowed
to obstruct this investigation,
222
00:10:28,796 --> 00:10:30,506
not even in the slightest. Understood?
223
00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:32,466
Yes, sir. I'll tell Hannah.
She'll thread the needle.
224
00:10:32,549 --> 00:10:34,718
Secretary Moss is also
the U.S. representative
225
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:37,679
on NATO's Defense and Security Committee,
which meets here this afternoon.
226
00:10:37,763 --> 00:10:40,015
It would be improper for him
to attend given these facts.
227
00:10:40,099 --> 00:10:43,602
- If you sideline him, he'll suspect why.
- Not if I go in his stead.
228
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:45,104
Let them know I'll be stepping in.
229
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:47,189
Will do.
230
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:51,151
Sir, we can't afford an international
black eye with Turkey.
231
00:10:51,235 --> 00:10:54,613
We simply can't, not after Kunami. Not
while Thorn's murder is still unsolved.
232
00:10:54,696 --> 00:10:56,073
I agree.
233
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:59,076
Emily, start working with Seth
on a P.R. counter-offensive.
234
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,204
Lyor, Aaron; reach out to our allies.
235
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:04,498
Let them know that our bond
with Turkey is unbreakable.
236
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:07,376
- We need to nip this in the bud.
- Yes, sir.
237
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:15,551
- Sir, you're needed in the Residence.
- Thank you, Mike. I'll be right there.
238
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:17,427
You should come now, sir.
239
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:21,139
Hey, get out of her face!
240
00:11:21,223 --> 00:11:24,560
Get him out of here.
Let's go. Clear the area.
241
00:11:24,643 --> 00:11:27,187
- It's not what it looks like.
- Really? 'Cause what it looks like
242
00:11:27,271 --> 00:11:29,314
is you and your girlfriend went
to a political demonstration.
243
00:11:29,398 --> 00:11:30,607
What were you thinking?
244
00:11:30,691 --> 00:11:32,985
No, I didn't.
I wasn't there for the protest, Dad.
245
00:11:34,862 --> 00:11:36,280
Well, we're listening.
246
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:39,199
Sibyl and I were walking to breakfast.
247
00:11:39,283 --> 00:11:41,076
This guy confronts her.
248
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,078
- And you pushed him?
- Well, I pushed him away.
249
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:45,080
He got in her face,
and she's like 90 pounds.
250
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:47,666
I'm sorry, Dad, but if that was Mom,
what would you have done?
251
00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:49,960
What kind of exposure is he looking at
for this?
252
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:51,712
We could argue defense of others
253
00:11:51,795 --> 00:11:54,131
so they'd have a hard time
making out assault.
254
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:58,093
Misdemeanor disturbing the peace if the
D.A. wants to make a name for himself.
255
00:11:58,176 --> 00:12:00,220
But then we could argue
selective prosecution.
256
00:12:00,304 --> 00:12:01,722
Prosecution?
257
00:12:01,805 --> 00:12:04,016
We're not gonna let anything bad
happen to you, okay?
258
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:06,143
Will this affect
my college applications?
259
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:10,022
No. You're gonna have to explain it like
you just did to us, but we'll handle it.
260
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:12,900
I need to go check on Sibyl.
261
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,027
Yeah.
262
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,529
Okay, thank you.
263
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:21,992
That was Kendra. That guy he pushed
just hired Bella Conroy.
264
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,745
Oh, so here comes the civil suit.
265
00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:25,704
Yeah.
266
00:12:28,290 --> 00:12:31,126
I checked with Secretary Moss'
Secret Service detail.
267
00:12:31,210 --> 00:12:34,004
He went off the grid about 11:00 p.m.
the night before Thorn's murder.
268
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:35,714
He resurfaced the next evening.
269
00:12:35,797 --> 00:12:37,466
Is disappearing like that usual?
270
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:40,636
It happens when ex-Presidents
want privacy.
271
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:44,723
But Secretary Moss is also protected
by the State Department's DSS.
272
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:46,308
And he slipped them, too.
273
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:47,768
Thanks, Mike.
274
00:12:49,061 --> 00:12:51,813
We need to find out what Moss was up to
when he ditched his security.
275
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:53,732
I can fill in part of the puzzle.
276
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,567
Moss had a credit-card charge
277
00:12:55,651 --> 00:12:57,903
at a ritzy private medical
facility in Georgetown
278
00:12:57,986 --> 00:12:59,947
called Ravenwood Hill at 10:00 a.m.
279
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:02,824
A few hours after the murder.
Defensive injuries?
280
00:13:02,908 --> 00:13:06,036
Nothing on Thorn's body suggests
a struggle, just the gunshot wound.
281
00:13:06,745 --> 00:13:09,456
Charles, can you tell us
what he was up to in that facility?
282
00:13:09,539 --> 00:13:10,791
Not without a subpoena.
283
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:12,834
I don't mess with medical records.
284
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:18,090
What if it was something
that was technically non-medical,
285
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:22,511
like hours of admission,
something like that?
286
00:13:24,179 --> 00:13:25,472
Gimme a sec.
287
00:13:31,603 --> 00:13:35,732
Moss self-admitted at 8:30
in the morning, discharged at 9:00 p.m.
288
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:46,660
What was Leo doing at the rally?
289
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:48,829
The President doesn't comment
on family matters.
290
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:50,580
Our sources indicate
the man Leo pushed,
291
00:13:50,664 --> 00:13:53,333
Peter Potuck, wants to press charges.
Has the D.A. been in touch?
292
00:13:53,417 --> 00:13:55,585
The President doesn't comment
on family matters.
293
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:56,837
Seth, come on!
294
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,840
The YouTube video of Leo's scuffle
already has nine million hits.
295
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:01,466
The victim hired Bella Conroy.
296
00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:03,802
You seem to know everything,
Tiffany, so why are you asking?
297
00:14:03,885 --> 00:14:06,722
- We're asking for confirmation.
- I can confirm that's all I have.
298
00:14:06,805 --> 00:14:08,223
The victim's pressing charges.
299
00:14:08,306 --> 00:14:10,517
If that's clear,
then what do you need me for?
300
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,727
Is the President concerned about the...
301
00:14:12,811 --> 00:14:14,730
Well, the good news is,
if the Moss story breaks,
302
00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:17,399
another story might push it
off the front page. The bad news is...
303
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:19,109
The President sees the dilemma, Lyor.
304
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:21,945
Yeah... I'm saying we have
to cauterize something, sir.
305
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:23,530
My vote is the civil suit.
306
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:25,866
I already reached out to Conroy
to set up a meeting.
307
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,159
What do you think she's looking for?
308
00:14:27,242 --> 00:14:29,828
My guess: a little publicity,
a few hundred grand.
309
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:31,580
I've watched
the video six times.
310
00:14:31,663 --> 00:14:34,750
The guy is twice the size of my son,
went down like a sack of potatoes.
311
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:38,045
He probably figured out it was Leo.
He's using the threat of criminal charges
312
00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:39,546
as leverage. Sir, write a check.
313
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:43,091
- You're right. Make it disappear.
- Yes, sir.
314
00:14:45,302 --> 00:14:48,638
Mr. Secretary, we realize
these are uncomfortable questions.
315
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:51,808
Asking my whereabouts when
a Member of Parliament was killed?
316
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:54,019
Why would you think
that'd be uncomfortable?
317
00:14:54,102 --> 00:14:56,605
We're not trying to offend you.
We're trying to exonerate you.
318
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:58,857
I don't need to be exonerated, son.
319
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:01,234
Of course not, sir.
Because you didn't do anything.
320
00:15:01,318 --> 00:15:05,489
- So if you could just give us your alibi...
- I will do nothing of the sort.
321
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,866
Maybe you can tell us
what you were doing at Ravenwood.
322
00:15:08,784 --> 00:15:10,369
That's none of your business.
323
00:15:11,495 --> 00:15:14,623
Sir, if you don't answer our questions,
it puts us in an awkward position.
324
00:15:14,706 --> 00:15:16,041
And puts you in one, too.
325
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:21,004
Are you telling me I need a lawyer?
326
00:15:21,505 --> 00:15:23,131
I don't know, sir. Do you?
327
00:15:26,218 --> 00:15:27,719
Good day, Agent Wells.
328
00:15:42,777 --> 00:15:46,072
Peter Potuck's attorney
says their opening salvo is $8 million.
329
00:15:46,155 --> 00:15:47,156
What?
330
00:15:47,239 --> 00:15:48,908
- For a lousy push?
- That's ridiculous.
331
00:15:48,991 --> 00:15:51,035
I spent my entire career as a professor.
332
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,870
They know I don't have
that kind of money.
333
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:55,331
Maybe it's not a shakedown.
Maybe Potuck's looking for publicity.
334
00:15:55,414 --> 00:15:57,083
Or a special interest is staking him.
335
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,627
Someone on the wrong side
of an Administration policy.
336
00:15:59,710 --> 00:16:02,254
- Mike.
- I'll look into it, sir.
337
00:16:02,338 --> 00:16:05,675
Sir, Agent Wells spoke to Secretary Moss.
He refused to cooperate.
338
00:16:06,801 --> 00:16:08,803
I'm very disappointed to hear that.
339
00:16:08,886 --> 00:16:11,514
Emily, I need you to have
a come-to-Jesus talk with him.
340
00:16:11,597 --> 00:16:13,933
Will do, after NATO's Defense
and Security Committee meeting,
341
00:16:14,016 --> 00:16:16,185
- which we are late for.
- Let's go.
342
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,064
I do not understand
why my motion to censure
343
00:16:20,147 --> 00:16:22,566
the United States cannot be
brought to the Assembly floor.
344
00:16:22,650 --> 00:16:24,568
Parliamentary procedure,
President Turan.
345
00:16:24,652 --> 00:16:27,571
None of the other member nations
are willing to second that motion.
346
00:16:27,655 --> 00:16:29,365
Because President Kirkman
has threatened them!
347
00:16:29,448 --> 00:16:32,785
Be careful, sir.
That is defamatory and false.
348
00:16:32,868 --> 00:16:34,662
You harbor a criminal, sir.
349
00:16:35,121 --> 00:16:36,497
That makes you a criminal.
350
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:39,458
If the honorable President from Turkey
is finished with his outburst,
351
00:16:39,542 --> 00:16:41,419
I believe the committee has work to do.
352
00:16:41,502 --> 00:16:44,380
Yes, the distribution of NATO's assets.
353
00:16:44,463 --> 00:16:48,050
The mutual defense and security
this committee is supposed to address!
354
00:16:48,134 --> 00:16:50,136
And which you are allowing
President Kirkman to undermine!
355
00:16:50,219 --> 00:16:52,555
The only one
who's undermining us is you...
356
00:16:52,638 --> 00:16:56,142
by threatening to pull back leases
for air bases that protect us all.
357
00:16:56,225 --> 00:16:57,768
Protection is a two-way street.
358
00:16:57,852 --> 00:16:59,603
We won't give it if we don't get it.
359
00:16:59,687 --> 00:17:01,480
A point of procedure,
Mr. Secretary General.
360
00:17:01,564 --> 00:17:06,152
If President Turan is unwilling to address
the business of this committee,
361
00:17:06,902 --> 00:17:08,529
I think he should be censured.
362
00:17:09,447 --> 00:17:10,656
That won't be necessary.
363
00:17:11,407 --> 00:17:15,578
It is apparent Turkey's interests
are no longer of value to NATO.
364
00:17:15,661 --> 00:17:19,248
So NATO is no longer
of value to Turkey.
365
00:17:19,331 --> 00:17:21,917
We'll be sending a formal notice
of withdrawal.
366
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:26,046
This is no good, Tom. No good at all.
367
00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:28,591
- Florian, he's bluffing.
- He's not.
368
00:17:28,674 --> 00:17:30,259
We've already received the paperwork.
369
00:17:30,342 --> 00:17:32,845
- The global implications of this...
- He's behaving like a bully.
370
00:17:32,928 --> 00:17:35,306
He's trying to see how much
he can behave like a dictator
371
00:17:35,389 --> 00:17:36,932
within our democratic body.
372
00:17:37,016 --> 00:17:39,185
And if we don't check him now,
the bar will move,
373
00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:42,563
and we'll never be able to move it back.
Look, I understand your concern.
374
00:17:42,646 --> 00:17:44,482
If we don't maintain
a stronghold in Turkey,
375
00:17:44,565 --> 00:17:47,485
we potentially open up the Middle East
for Russian dominance.
376
00:17:47,568 --> 00:17:50,112
Which affects the balance of power
in Eurasia, too.
377
00:17:50,196 --> 00:17:52,490
This could incite another cold war.
378
00:17:53,282 --> 00:17:54,867
What would you have me do?
379
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,995
I think you know the answer
to that question.
380
00:17:59,955 --> 00:18:03,125
If I make Nuri Sahin go back to Turkey...
381
00:18:03,209 --> 00:18:05,711
...there won't be a trial.
382
00:18:06,212 --> 00:18:08,339
It'll be a firing squad, and you know it.
383
00:18:08,422 --> 00:18:09,340
He's one man, sir.
384
00:18:09,423 --> 00:18:12,760
My country was predicated
on the idea that one man matters.
385
00:18:12,843 --> 00:18:14,845
One man can make a difference.
386
00:18:14,929 --> 00:18:18,057
One American, perhaps.
But Sahin is Turkish.
387
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:21,644
And 29 countries are counting on you
to keep NATO intact.
388
00:18:21,727 --> 00:18:23,604
The world is counting, sir.
389
00:18:28,651 --> 00:18:30,528
Seth? Hey! Seth?
390
00:18:30,611 --> 00:18:32,863
Tiffany, there's another briefing
at 6:00 p.m.
391
00:18:32,947 --> 00:18:34,782
I know. I wanted
to speak to you privately.
392
00:18:34,865 --> 00:18:36,951
- Make it fast.
- It's about the President's family.
393
00:18:37,034 --> 00:18:40,412
- I have nothing to say about Leo Kirkman.
- It's about the President's mother-in-law.
394
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,253
- Good, I have your attention.
- What is it?
395
00:18:47,336 --> 00:18:49,171
I understand that
the President's mother-in-law
396
00:18:49,255 --> 00:18:51,674
is meeting with Director Foerstel today.
Do I have that right?
397
00:18:51,757 --> 00:18:54,510
- No comment.
- Good, I have it right.
398
00:18:54,593 --> 00:18:56,470
I want a sit-down
with the President, Seth.
399
00:18:56,554 --> 00:18:59,557
- That's not gonna happen.
- Okay. I know that you don't think
400
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,725
that I have enough to go to press,
but I do.
401
00:19:01,809 --> 00:19:05,104
Icarus and heart transplants and bribes.
It's all very salacious.
402
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:06,981
I'm guessing the President
would want an opportunity
403
00:19:07,064 --> 00:19:08,607
to give his family's side of things.
404
00:19:08,691 --> 00:19:10,901
Otherwise,
these articles can seem so one-sided.
405
00:19:12,361 --> 00:19:13,612
What's your time frame?
406
00:19:13,696 --> 00:19:15,781
- Thirty minutes.
- Are you out of your mind?
407
00:19:15,865 --> 00:19:17,575
The President has a full agenda today.
408
00:19:17,658 --> 00:19:19,702
You may have chutzpah,
but you don't have a deadline.
409
00:19:19,785 --> 00:19:22,288
- You're an e-zine.
- Who competes against the big boys now,
410
00:19:22,371 --> 00:19:24,290
and we like to get the scoop.
411
00:19:24,373 --> 00:19:26,041
Thirty minutes, Seth.
412
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:31,297
- So Gimble has us.
- Yes, sir.
413
00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:34,758
And she wants to do the interview now
so we can't coordinate with Eva.
414
00:19:34,842 --> 00:19:36,969
Gimble's gonna publish
with or without our cooperation.
415
00:19:37,052 --> 00:19:40,097
But sitting down with her gives you
an opportunity to spin things.
416
00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:42,266
The problem is, we don't know
what you're walking into.
417
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,101
We don't know
the extent of Gimble's intel.
418
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:45,644
Eva's recent meeting with Little;
419
00:19:45,728 --> 00:19:47,187
- that's the danger zone.
- Yes, sir.
420
00:19:47,271 --> 00:19:49,857
If Gimble and Foerstel both ask
about that, you and Eva risk
421
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:52,318
contradicting each other,
which would look like thirty years
422
00:19:52,401 --> 00:19:54,695
of Icarus getting contracts
while greasing the First Family.
423
00:19:54,778 --> 00:19:57,197
And let's not forget to throw
a dead body into the mix.
424
00:19:57,281 --> 00:19:58,741
Eric Little's murder is still unsolved.
425
00:19:58,824 --> 00:20:02,244
All of which would give Foerstel
ammunition to widen his investigation.
426
00:20:02,328 --> 00:20:04,246
But if the Little meeting doesn't come up,
427
00:20:04,330 --> 00:20:06,707
my cooperation might get
Gimble to stop digging.
428
00:20:06,832 --> 00:20:09,752
It might, but the downside's enormous.
429
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:11,754
It's Russian roulette.
430
00:20:13,547 --> 00:20:16,050
NATO's coming apart,
my son is being sued,
431
00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:18,510
my mentor is a potential murder suspect,
432
00:20:19,345 --> 00:20:22,056
and my mother-in-law's
being grilled by the FBI.
433
00:20:23,849 --> 00:20:25,935
And I'm just sitting here
watching the world burn.
434
00:20:27,603 --> 00:20:30,773
It's time to pick up a bucket.
Set up the interview.
435
00:20:42,368 --> 00:20:44,662
It breaks with etiquette
for a former President
436
00:20:44,745 --> 00:20:47,081
to be summoned
to a Chief of Staff's office.
437
00:20:47,165 --> 00:20:49,083
Well, it breaks with etiquette
438
00:20:49,167 --> 00:20:51,669
for a former President
to have to be summoned.
439
00:20:51,752 --> 00:20:52,962
Please.
440
00:20:55,631 --> 00:20:58,217
I'm advising you that we are now
on the record, sir.
441
00:20:58,301 --> 00:20:59,302
I understand.
442
00:20:59,427 --> 00:21:02,180
How long had you and Ms. Thorn
been involved?
443
00:21:02,305 --> 00:21:03,181
Five months.
444
00:21:03,306 --> 00:21:05,141
- Was it serious?
- She wanted it to be.
445
00:21:05,224 --> 00:21:06,684
I was a little more circumspect.
446
00:21:06,767 --> 00:21:09,562
What were you two arguing about
the day before she died?
447
00:21:12,523 --> 00:21:13,774
Secretary Moss?
448
00:21:16,736 --> 00:21:18,821
Well, she gave me an ultimatum.
449
00:21:19,989 --> 00:21:21,574
She told me she expected a ring.
450
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,912
I made a joke, said she already had one.
She said that was a friendship ring.
451
00:21:26,496 --> 00:21:29,123
And then I said
I didn't like being pushed.
452
00:21:29,248 --> 00:21:31,918
- And how did you leave it?
- She told me it was over.
453
00:21:32,627 --> 00:21:35,213
I told her she was being foolish,
and I walked out.
454
00:21:36,005 --> 00:21:39,217
I went back to her hotel later that night
to see if we could...
455
00:21:39,634 --> 00:21:41,636
- work things out.
- And did you?
456
00:21:42,637 --> 00:21:43,763
No.
457
00:21:44,639 --> 00:21:48,017
Where were you the morning
that Charlotte Thorn was killed?
458
00:21:49,644 --> 00:21:51,354
I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
459
00:21:51,437 --> 00:21:54,232
Why did you check yourself into
Ravenwood Hill Medical Facility
460
00:21:54,315 --> 00:21:55,399
hours after her murder?
461
00:21:55,525 --> 00:21:57,151
- It's not relevant.
- Sir...
462
00:21:57,235 --> 00:22:00,238
I swear to you I did not kill
Charlotte Thorn.
463
00:22:04,408 --> 00:22:06,244
I cared deeply about her.
464
00:22:11,499 --> 00:22:13,042
That's all I have to say.
465
00:22:14,877 --> 00:22:16,796
The President has instructed me
to advise you
466
00:22:16,879 --> 00:22:19,757
that until such time as you fully
cooperate, you are suspended.
467
00:22:22,343 --> 00:22:24,345
Please tell the President for me
468
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:27,682
that I, better than anyone,
appreciate his position,
469
00:22:28,182 --> 00:22:31,018
and that I hope when this is
solved and my name is cleared,
470
00:22:31,477 --> 00:22:33,396
I can continue to serve him.
471
00:22:39,569 --> 00:22:40,778
Mr. President,
472
00:22:40,903 --> 00:22:44,156
are you familiar with a deceased Icarus
Astrotech employee named Eric Little?
473
00:22:44,282 --> 00:22:48,327
Yes, but only in the context of
the FBI inquiry into my mother-in-law.
474
00:22:48,452 --> 00:22:53,249
Are you aware that Eva Booker was
the recipient of a bribe from him in 1987?
475
00:22:53,374 --> 00:22:55,793
I thought we'd agreed
you were gonna confine your questions
476
00:22:55,876 --> 00:22:57,962
to matters of which the President
had personal knowledge.
477
00:22:58,045 --> 00:22:59,797
This isn't a court of law.
It's an interview.
478
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,967
Seth, it's fine.
I am aware of the bribe.
479
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:07,221
But again, only in the context of
the FBI inquiry into my mother-in-law.
480
00:23:08,347 --> 00:23:12,810
Yes, I knew I was being
offered a bribe by Mr. Little.
481
00:23:12,893 --> 00:23:15,271
- And you knew that it was wrong.
- Yes.
482
00:23:15,396 --> 00:23:16,439
And I'd do it again.
483
00:23:16,522 --> 00:23:18,899
Point of clarification:
did you do it again, Mrs. Booker?
484
00:23:18,983 --> 00:23:21,027
- No.
- Are you aware that six months ago,
485
00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:23,279
the Department of Defense
awarded Icarus Astrotech,
486
00:23:23,362 --> 00:23:25,489
Mr. Little's company,
a billion-dollar contract?
487
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,074
No.
488
00:23:27,992 --> 00:23:29,910
Are you aware
that the Icarus employee
489
00:23:29,994 --> 00:23:31,746
who executed that contract was Mr. Little?
490
00:23:31,871 --> 00:23:33,664
If she didn't know about the contract,
how would she know...
491
00:23:33,789 --> 00:23:35,458
I'd like her to answer.
492
00:23:38,169 --> 00:23:41,255
- No.
- So you were not aware that the D.O.D.
493
00:23:41,339 --> 00:23:43,632
authorized a billion-dollar contract
to Icarus Astrotech?
494
00:23:43,716 --> 00:23:47,136
No. I have a great deal
of respect for Secretary Grimaldi.
495
00:23:47,219 --> 00:23:49,555
He has an excellent staff,
and I don't micro-manage him.
496
00:24:00,941 --> 00:24:02,485
We'd like to take a brief break.
497
00:24:03,069 --> 00:24:04,028
I'm going to object.
498
00:24:04,570 --> 00:24:07,740
I'd like to remind you, Mr. Foerstel,
that we are here voluntarily.
499
00:24:07,823 --> 00:24:09,784
Yes, and you've voluntarily
agreed to my guidelines.
500
00:24:09,867 --> 00:24:11,994
And they include a ban
on coordination of testimony.
501
00:24:12,078 --> 00:24:13,162
Coordination with whom?
502
00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:15,498
Really?
503
00:24:15,581 --> 00:24:17,666
Coordination with whom,
Director Foerstel?
504
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:19,835
Why would you assume
that we are coordinating
505
00:24:19,919 --> 00:24:21,712
Mrs. Booker's testimony with anyone?
506
00:24:21,796 --> 00:24:24,006
I'm not gonna assume anything,
provided we continue.
507
00:24:27,426 --> 00:24:30,304
Mr. President, do you understand
why the contract
508
00:24:30,388 --> 00:24:32,515
has the appearance of impropriety,
509
00:24:32,598 --> 00:24:34,934
particularly
in light of Mr. Little's murder?
510
00:24:35,601 --> 00:24:37,603
Yes, I think I do.
511
00:24:37,686 --> 00:24:41,190
Sometimes, journalists,
through no fault of their own,
512
00:24:41,273 --> 00:24:44,610
seek to find a story
even when there is no story there.
513
00:24:45,611 --> 00:24:48,280
You haven't exactly been
the most transparent of Presidents.
514
00:24:48,364 --> 00:24:49,740
Now, I take exception to that.
515
00:24:49,824 --> 00:24:52,326
I've gone to great lengths
to be as transparent as possible.
516
00:24:52,410 --> 00:24:56,205
Now obviously, there are limits when
matters of national security are involved.
517
00:24:56,288 --> 00:25:00,126
So you admit that you're not always
honest with the American people?
518
00:25:02,294 --> 00:25:05,005
Have you made any large purchases
in the past six months?
519
00:25:05,089 --> 00:25:06,090
Define large.
520
00:25:06,757 --> 00:25:08,008
Above $1,000.
521
00:25:08,551 --> 00:25:09,427
No.
522
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:12,138
Have there been any irregularly
large deposits in your accounts
523
00:25:12,221 --> 00:25:13,389
over the past six months?
524
00:25:13,472 --> 00:25:15,766
Director Foerstel,
Mrs. Booker has already stated
525
00:25:15,850 --> 00:25:17,685
she has not accepted a monetary bribe.
526
00:25:17,768 --> 00:25:19,186
Yes, but given her history,
527
00:25:19,270 --> 00:25:21,397
you understand why I can't take
this assertion at face value.
528
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,649
We'll provide copies
of her bank statements.
529
00:25:24,108 --> 00:25:24,984
Thank you.
530
00:25:28,404 --> 00:25:30,614
I have just one more question,
Mrs. Booker.
531
00:25:30,698 --> 00:25:33,576
Six months ago, did you take
a vacation on St. Lucia?
532
00:25:33,659 --> 00:25:37,705
Specifically, did you stay
at a hotel called the Grand Balfour?
533
00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:39,665
Yes.
534
00:25:39,748 --> 00:25:41,125
How did you afford that holiday?
535
00:25:41,208 --> 00:25:44,253
My husband left me an annuity,
536
00:25:44,336 --> 00:25:48,757
and every year, my daughter and I
take one trip together.
537
00:25:48,841 --> 00:25:50,759
Last year, it was Bermuda and...
538
00:25:51,635 --> 00:25:53,262
This year, it was St. Lucia.
539
00:25:54,263 --> 00:25:58,100
Mr. Foerstel, Mrs. Booker's been here
a long time. If there's nothing further.
540
00:25:59,018 --> 00:26:00,603
No, there's nothing further.
541
00:26:00,686 --> 00:26:03,355
Thank you so much
for your cooperation, Mrs. Booker.
542
00:26:03,856 --> 00:26:04,857
Thank you.
543
00:26:05,524 --> 00:26:08,110
Why don't you ask me
the question that you want to ask?
544
00:26:08,194 --> 00:26:09,487
Sir?
545
00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:11,238
Just ask the question. I'll answer it.
546
00:26:11,322 --> 00:26:13,407
That way, we can stop
dancing around each other.
547
00:26:13,908 --> 00:26:14,950
All right.
548
00:26:17,244 --> 00:26:21,415
Can you assure the American people that
your family is not presently involved
549
00:26:21,499 --> 00:26:24,793
in any type of pay-for-play arrangement
with Icarus Astrotech?
550
00:26:24,877 --> 00:26:29,507
Yes, I can, because there is
no corrupt relationship with Icarus.
551
00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:34,053
Nothing nefarious is being orchestrated
by my mother-in-law, my wife, or me.
552
00:26:34,845 --> 00:26:38,224
I took a pledge to serve
the American people, not myself,
553
00:26:38,307 --> 00:26:40,684
and I am doing that
to the best of my ability.
554
00:26:40,768 --> 00:26:41,977
I give you my word.
555
00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:46,649
Kendra said Mrs. Booker came through
with flying colors.
556
00:26:46,732 --> 00:26:48,484
- So did you, Mr. President.
- We'll see.
557
00:26:48,567 --> 00:26:51,987
I'm only grateful that she didn't know
about Eva's last meeting with Eric Little.
558
00:26:52,071 --> 00:26:55,324
And Gimble's piece will be about
a 30-year-old bribe to save a man's life.
559
00:26:55,407 --> 00:26:56,450
That's gonna lack teeth.
560
00:26:56,534 --> 00:26:57,826
It's not all good news.
561
00:26:57,910 --> 00:26:59,495
Foerstel may be leaking to Gimble.
562
00:26:59,578 --> 00:27:02,081
Not a chance. John Foerstel
may be many things,
563
00:27:02,164 --> 00:27:03,499
but dishonorable isn't one of them.
564
00:27:03,582 --> 00:27:05,501
Then someone else is leaking
to both of them.
565
00:27:05,584 --> 00:27:07,503
In the end, we can only control
what we control.
566
00:27:07,586 --> 00:27:08,963
Seth, thank you for setting it up.
567
00:27:09,046 --> 00:27:10,548
- Great job, Mr. President.
- Yes, sir.
568
00:27:10,631 --> 00:27:12,466
Mr. President, Nuri Sahin is here.
569
00:27:12,550 --> 00:27:13,801
Thank you.
570
00:27:14,927 --> 00:27:16,637
I need to handle this one on my own.
571
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,721
I understand.
572
00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,979
I know why you have called me here, sir.
573
00:27:26,397 --> 00:27:28,315
I know you have to send me back.
574
00:27:30,276 --> 00:27:31,485
I'll be honest.
575
00:27:31,569 --> 00:27:33,988
There has been a great deal of pressure
to do just that.
576
00:27:34,071 --> 00:27:35,197
I understand.
577
00:27:35,281 --> 00:27:37,658
President Turan is right.
578
00:27:37,741 --> 00:27:38,826
I am a revolutionary.
579
00:27:38,909 --> 00:27:41,620
Are you telling me that
you were part of the attempted coup?
580
00:27:41,704 --> 00:27:42,663
No, sir.
581
00:27:43,789 --> 00:27:46,000
But I want Turan removed.
582
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:49,003
Democratically, yes, but removed.
583
00:27:51,422 --> 00:27:52,506
Men like that...
584
00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:56,218
the only thing they fear
more than bullets is the ballot box.
585
00:27:56,802 --> 00:27:57,678
Yes.
586
00:27:57,761 --> 00:28:01,849
And the pursuit of democracy
is the worthiest of causes.
587
00:28:02,349 --> 00:28:05,019
Like your own Nathan Hale said...
588
00:28:06,687 --> 00:28:12,192
"I only regret I have
but one life to give to my country."
589
00:28:13,027 --> 00:28:14,445
That's correct.
590
00:28:15,946 --> 00:28:18,282
And he was a teacher, like you. Please.
591
00:28:20,909 --> 00:28:24,455
I want you to know that
you are safe here in my country.
592
00:28:26,165 --> 00:28:27,750
I admire what you're doing.
593
00:28:27,833 --> 00:28:29,960
And I can only hope that someday soon,
594
00:28:30,044 --> 00:28:31,879
you'll be able to return home.
595
00:28:33,714 --> 00:28:34,840
Thank you, sir.
596
00:28:34,924 --> 00:28:36,842
No, thank you.
597
00:28:43,015 --> 00:28:46,393
I looked into Peter Potuck, sir,
the guy Leo pushed.
598
00:28:46,852 --> 00:28:49,104
He works for a charity
called the Ankara Trust.
599
00:28:49,188 --> 00:28:51,690
It funnels money into Turan's regime.
600
00:28:51,774 --> 00:28:53,984
Wait a second. You're telling me...
601
00:28:54,068 --> 00:28:56,820
that this whole thing with Leo
was a setup,
602
00:28:57,529 --> 00:28:59,615
and that President Turan was behind it?
603
00:28:59,698 --> 00:29:00,741
Yes, sir.
604
00:29:01,617 --> 00:29:03,452
The charity's run by an Emre Sadik.
605
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,081
Mr. President, Sadik has
a 17-year-old daughter, and...
606
00:29:08,290 --> 00:29:10,626
her name is Sibyl, sir.
607
00:29:10,709 --> 00:29:12,086
Leo's girlfriend?
608
00:29:12,878 --> 00:29:14,088
She's part of this?
609
00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:15,714
Yes, sir.
610
00:29:18,175 --> 00:29:19,677
Oh, no.
611
00:29:22,805 --> 00:29:24,390
I want to do a press conference
612
00:29:24,474 --> 00:29:26,476
denouncing President Turan
and his tactics.
613
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:28,561
Sir, you can't talk about that
on a public forum.
614
00:29:28,645 --> 00:29:31,105
He went after my family, my son!
615
00:29:31,189 --> 00:29:33,900
We understand that, sir.
But Gimble is about to break a story
616
00:29:33,983 --> 00:29:35,944
about an investigation
into your mother-in-law.
617
00:29:36,027 --> 00:29:38,029
Criminal charges are only
pending against Leo.
618
00:29:38,112 --> 00:29:40,281
Sir, if you intervene on his behalf
by attacking Turan,
619
00:29:40,365 --> 00:29:42,533
you'll make the House of Borgia
look like "Romper Room."
620
00:29:42,617 --> 00:29:46,496
Damn it! I am tired of you people
always telling me my hands are tied!
621
00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:49,499
Well, there is a way to untie them.
622
00:29:49,582 --> 00:29:52,293
Yeah, I know, by throwing Sahin
to the lions. Not gonna happen!
623
00:29:52,377 --> 00:29:55,171
Think of something else!
624
00:29:56,589 --> 00:29:58,216
I'll do a presser with Sahin.
625
00:29:58,299 --> 00:30:01,469
Sir, it's not U.S. policy to give
a platform to the opposition leader.
626
00:30:01,552 --> 00:30:02,679
They don't know that.
627
00:30:02,762 --> 00:30:04,681
And they don't know
what I'm capable of.
628
00:30:04,764 --> 00:30:06,224
That'll be my leverage.
629
00:30:06,307 --> 00:30:08,518
Tell President Turan
I want to see him now.
630
00:30:08,601 --> 00:30:10,186
- That's all!
- Yes, sir.
631
00:30:15,650 --> 00:30:18,278
- You're saying she was playing me?
- Yeah.
632
00:30:18,945 --> 00:30:20,113
I'm really sorry, son.
633
00:30:20,697 --> 00:30:23,032
No. No, we spend two hours
on the phone every night.
634
00:30:23,574 --> 00:30:25,702
I mean, we were gonna go
on spring break together.
635
00:30:25,785 --> 00:30:26,744
This is a mistake!
636
00:30:26,828 --> 00:30:29,205
I'm afraid it's not.
I had Mike triple-check it.
637
00:30:29,289 --> 00:30:32,959
Sweetheart, being the President's son
means that sometimes,
638
00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:35,545
people don't have the purest of motives.
639
00:30:36,796 --> 00:30:38,798
Leo. Leo, please.
640
00:30:38,881 --> 00:30:40,216
Tom, leave him.
641
00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:48,182
Moss has been cleared
as a suspect,
642
00:30:48,266 --> 00:30:49,684
but he gave us a valuable lead.
643
00:30:49,767 --> 00:30:51,477
Charlotte Thorn wore a friendship ring.
644
00:30:51,561 --> 00:30:53,229
The police didn't find it on her body.
645
00:30:53,313 --> 00:30:56,065
Find the ring, we find the killer.
646
00:30:58,651 --> 00:31:00,611
Here's one with Thorn in a necklace.
647
00:31:01,988 --> 00:31:03,239
Thorn and a pendant.
648
00:31:03,323 --> 00:31:04,615
Actually, that's a brooch.
649
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,161
Thorn and another pendant.
650
00:31:11,664 --> 00:31:14,542
Here's something, at a fundraiser
the night before she was killed.
651
00:31:14,625 --> 00:31:15,960
Can you blow that up?
652
00:31:22,925 --> 00:31:24,635
I've seen that ring.
653
00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:25,803
So have I.
654
00:31:30,350 --> 00:31:31,768
Thank you.
655
00:31:34,437 --> 00:31:37,273
This is Charlotte at a fundraiser
the night before she was killed.
656
00:31:37,357 --> 00:31:38,524
That's the ring she was wearing.
657
00:31:38,608 --> 00:31:40,193
When they found
her body a day later,
658
00:31:40,276 --> 00:31:43,738
there was no ring on it.
Guess who has that same exact ring?
659
00:31:44,697 --> 00:31:46,699
We both liked the same jewelry.
660
00:31:46,783 --> 00:31:48,534
Okay, here's another photo.
661
00:31:48,618 --> 00:31:51,120
That's you.
Same fundraiser, no ring.
662
00:31:51,204 --> 00:31:52,997
You can see where this is going, right?
663
00:31:53,081 --> 00:31:54,957
She's wearing the ring, and you're not.
664
00:31:55,041 --> 00:31:58,044
Then 24 hours later,
she doesn't have it and you do.
665
00:31:58,127 --> 00:32:01,047
And I see the setting on that ring.
There's a lot of little crevices
666
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:03,216
where dead skin, DNA can lodge.
667
00:32:03,299 --> 00:32:06,135
So we're going to take that ring,
and send that down to the lab.
668
00:32:06,219 --> 00:32:08,012
- If your boss...
- You don't understand!
669
00:32:08,096 --> 00:32:10,640
We might.
It was a brutal job, sounds like,
670
00:32:10,723 --> 00:32:12,308
16-hour days, year after year.
671
00:32:12,392 --> 00:32:14,435
Handmaiden to someone famous,
unappreciated.
672
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:15,645
You must've hated her.
673
00:32:15,728 --> 00:32:17,647
I didn't hate her! I loved her!
674
00:32:21,526 --> 00:32:24,695
She was in this terrible marriage
for years.
675
00:32:24,779 --> 00:32:26,739
And she finally gets out of it.
676
00:32:26,823 --> 00:32:29,242
And then I have to watch
as she falls for Secretary Moss,
677
00:32:29,325 --> 00:32:30,868
who doesn't care for her at all!
678
00:32:30,952 --> 00:32:32,537
- She broke up with him.
- Yes.
679
00:32:33,204 --> 00:32:35,164
And I went to her, and...
680
00:32:35,248 --> 00:32:37,417
I told her that we could
finally be together.
681
00:32:39,377 --> 00:32:41,796
And she said that she didn't want me.
682
00:32:41,879 --> 00:32:46,092
All those years of doing
absolutely everything for her,
683
00:32:46,175 --> 00:32:50,596
of leading me on,
and she was just... just using me!
684
00:32:51,347 --> 00:32:53,558
- So you shot her.
- Yes.
685
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,270
She betrayed me.
686
00:32:57,353 --> 00:32:59,772
I loved her, but she betrayed me!
687
00:33:10,616 --> 00:33:12,535
A press conference with Sahin?
688
00:33:12,618 --> 00:33:13,786
You wouldn't dare.
689
00:33:13,870 --> 00:33:15,580
Not only will I, I'll do as many
690
00:33:15,663 --> 00:33:18,541
as I think is necessary
to convey not only to your people,
691
00:33:18,624 --> 00:33:22,795
but to the rest of the world that Nuri
Sahin is the only person who is capable
692
00:33:22,879 --> 00:33:26,591
of delivering true democracy and
opportunity to the great Turkish people,
693
00:33:26,674 --> 00:33:30,386
and that he alone can make his nation
a shining beacon of hope and stability
694
00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:33,097
in a region that is historically unstable.
695
00:33:33,181 --> 00:33:36,559
Hell, by the time I'm finished, you'll be
begging me not to extradite him.
696
00:33:36,642 --> 00:33:39,645
Because if I do, you'll be staring
straight down the barrel
697
00:33:39,729 --> 00:33:41,731
- at certain civil war.
- President Kirkman...
698
00:33:41,814 --> 00:33:42,899
Here is my one-time offer.
699
00:33:42,982 --> 00:33:45,359
And pay attention,
'cause there's a price to pay.
700
00:33:46,235 --> 00:33:48,029
Turkey will remain a NATO state.
701
00:33:48,112 --> 00:33:50,198
You will give us back the leases
for the air bases.
702
00:33:50,281 --> 00:33:51,491
This is extortion.
703
00:33:51,574 --> 00:33:53,284
You will drop the civil case
against my son,
704
00:33:53,367 --> 00:33:55,578
and your man will contact
the District Attorney's office
705
00:33:55,661 --> 00:33:57,997
and tell them
that he is not pressing charges.
706
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,124
If you fail to do any one
of these things,
707
00:34:00,208 --> 00:34:02,460
you can watch Mr. Sahin
and myself on television
708
00:34:02,543 --> 00:34:04,170
delivering the first of what I hope
709
00:34:04,253 --> 00:34:06,214
to be many press conferences
in the Rose Garden.
710
00:34:06,297 --> 00:34:07,381
Are you following me?
711
00:34:07,465 --> 00:34:09,050
- Yes!
- Good.
712
00:34:09,133 --> 00:34:11,135
Because now I need to be
particularly clear,
713
00:34:11,219 --> 00:34:13,679
because you and I
will never speak again.
714
00:34:13,763 --> 00:34:16,224
If you ever try and harm
my family, I will find you,
715
00:34:16,307 --> 00:34:18,434
and not as the President
of the United States,
716
00:34:18,518 --> 00:34:20,478
but a man who is trying
to protect his own.
717
00:34:20,853 --> 00:34:22,438
And I promise you,
718
00:34:23,022 --> 00:34:24,899
that's not how you want to see me.
719
00:34:29,529 --> 00:34:33,115
Mike, I think you can show
President Turan the way out.
720
00:34:34,534 --> 00:34:35,451
Sir?
721
00:34:48,273 --> 00:34:50,483
I come to you a humbled man,
722
00:34:50,567 --> 00:34:52,944
offering an apology to his President.
723
00:34:53,027 --> 00:34:56,531
I know that my behavior obstructed
the Thorn murder investigation,
724
00:34:57,115 --> 00:34:58,324
and that was never my intent.
725
00:34:58,408 --> 00:34:59,784
Yet that was the effect.
726
00:35:02,453 --> 00:35:05,331
I cared very deeply
about Charlotte Thorn.
727
00:35:05,915 --> 00:35:08,918
And I wanted to be a part
of the investigation to get her justice.
728
00:35:09,002 --> 00:35:11,171
And you wanted to keep
your affair a secret.
729
00:35:11,754 --> 00:35:12,714
Yes, that too.
730
00:35:13,715 --> 00:35:17,760
She was the first woman I'd opened up to
in the four years since Elaine died.
731
00:35:18,344 --> 00:35:21,306
And part of me felt I was being disloyal,
732
00:35:21,764 --> 00:35:24,142
like I was dishonoring her memory.
733
00:35:26,269 --> 00:35:28,354
I get why you wouldn't want it
to go public.
734
00:35:28,438 --> 00:35:30,773
No. It's the same reason
why I pulled away
735
00:35:30,857 --> 00:35:33,902
when Charlotte told me
she wanted something more serious.
736
00:35:33,985 --> 00:35:35,653
I understand.
737
00:35:37,197 --> 00:35:39,157
The problem is, I didn't.
738
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,535
I didn't understand
just how much I cared about her.
739
00:35:43,203 --> 00:35:45,914
So when she told me it was over,
I went home.
740
00:35:47,165 --> 00:35:48,833
And I started spiraling.
741
00:35:50,126 --> 00:35:51,419
And you slipped.
742
00:35:53,796 --> 00:35:56,758
Two years clean,
one night to fall off the wagon.
743
00:35:58,134 --> 00:36:00,929
Next morning, I checked myself
into Ravenwood...
744
00:36:02,013 --> 00:36:05,183
because I could not allow myself
to go down that path again.
745
00:36:05,725 --> 00:36:08,228
And you didn't think
you could trust me with that.
746
00:36:08,311 --> 00:36:09,896
No, Tom, I didn't.
747
00:36:10,355 --> 00:36:11,981
I felt ashamed.
748
00:36:13,816 --> 00:36:16,027
So I am saving you the trouble, sir.
749
00:36:17,153 --> 00:36:18,655
Because when I was President,
750
00:36:18,738 --> 00:36:21,532
you know what I'd call someone
who acted the way I have?
751
00:36:22,367 --> 00:36:23,660
A cab.
752
00:36:29,958 --> 00:36:32,252
You've made a mistake, Cornelius.
753
00:36:32,335 --> 00:36:34,337
I value our friendship.
754
00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:36,422
And I still need your counsel,
your humanity,
755
00:36:36,506 --> 00:36:38,508
and I think the American people do, too.
756
00:36:38,591 --> 00:36:42,262
But if we were somehow
to move forward as friends,
757
00:36:42,345 --> 00:36:44,681
I would need you
to give me your word
758
00:36:44,764 --> 00:36:47,225
you would never leave me
on the outside again.
759
00:36:48,601 --> 00:36:49,727
You have it.
760
00:36:51,187 --> 00:36:52,397
Thank you.
761
00:36:53,398 --> 00:36:54,440
All right.
762
00:37:00,697 --> 00:37:01,990
Do what you have to.
763
00:37:02,073 --> 00:37:04,617
But as soon as you're ready, come back.
764
00:37:05,201 --> 00:37:06,703
Your office will be waiting.
765
00:37:11,457 --> 00:37:12,834
Thank you, sir.
766
00:37:14,335 --> 00:37:15,670
Let me walk you out.
767
00:37:31,227 --> 00:37:32,937
So, we have some unfinished business.
768
00:37:33,021 --> 00:37:35,023
Yeah? What sort of business?
769
00:37:36,733 --> 00:37:38,234
Personal business.
770
00:37:38,735 --> 00:37:39,861
Is that right?
771
00:38:22,236 --> 00:38:23,488
Hey.
772
00:38:28,284 --> 00:38:29,827
I can't even go to a movie.
773
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:34,540
There's a screening room here
in the White House.
774
00:38:35,583 --> 00:38:37,835
I mean, I can't have a normal life.
775
00:38:39,128 --> 00:38:40,254
I know.
776
00:38:40,338 --> 00:38:43,883
I mean, everyone who looks at me;
all they see is the President's son.
777
00:38:45,927 --> 00:38:49,097
All I can tell you is that the right girl
won't see you that way.
778
00:38:49,180 --> 00:38:51,557
There won't be a right girl
as long as I'm living in a bubble.
779
00:38:57,313 --> 00:38:58,940
I am so sorry.
780
00:39:11,202 --> 00:39:12,745
So, when are you leaving town?
781
00:39:15,123 --> 00:39:16,582
Who said I'm leaving town?
782
00:39:18,042 --> 00:39:20,253
Well, you were detailed
to the Thorn case.
783
00:39:20,795 --> 00:39:23,089
- I was.
- And we closed that case.
784
00:39:23,172 --> 00:39:24,298
We did.
785
00:39:25,758 --> 00:39:27,176
And you have a duffel bag.
786
00:39:27,885 --> 00:39:29,470
I was headed to the gym.
787
00:39:30,763 --> 00:39:33,766
No, I've been posted full time
at the British Embassy,
788
00:39:33,850 --> 00:39:36,269
effective immediately.
789
00:39:36,352 --> 00:39:37,562
What?!
790
00:39:54,996 --> 00:39:55,872
Hey.
791
00:39:56,205 --> 00:39:57,457
Hey, how is he?
792
00:39:57,790 --> 00:39:59,167
Not good.
793
00:39:59,959 --> 00:40:02,462
He just found out
his girlfriend was Mata Hari.
794
00:40:02,545 --> 00:40:05,631
- I just wish I knew what to say.
- There is nothing to say.
795
00:40:05,715 --> 00:40:08,634
You've just gotta be there for him,
which you are.
796
00:40:10,761 --> 00:40:12,263
You're there for all of us.
797
00:40:14,056 --> 00:40:15,933
And we're going to need you
right now.
798
00:40:16,017 --> 00:40:17,268
What is it?
799
00:40:18,394 --> 00:40:19,645
This came.
800
00:40:26,319 --> 00:40:29,030
You're being subpoenaed
by John Foerstel? For what?
801
00:40:29,113 --> 00:40:32,617
His last question to my mom was
about our trip to St. Lucia.
802
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:35,369
Foerstel's found
a Saint Lucian bank account
803
00:40:35,453 --> 00:40:38,080
set up by Eric Little six months ago...
804
00:40:38,164 --> 00:40:39,415
in my name.
805
00:40:40,249 --> 00:40:43,503
Right before Icarus got
its latest government contract
806
00:40:43,586 --> 00:40:45,421
for a billion dollars.
807
00:40:46,589 --> 00:40:47,507
Tom...
808
00:40:48,841 --> 00:40:50,051
I'm being set up.
809
00:40:50,635 --> 00:40:51,802
We're all being set up!
810
00:40:51,885 --> 00:40:53,998
