1
00:00:15,473 --> 00:00:16,558
[woman] Found it.

2
00:00:16,641 --> 00:00:18,160
Looks like y'all are ready for Halloween.

3
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:20,854
Oh, it is my favorite. [chuckles]

4
00:00:21,604 --> 00:00:25,442
I use dry ice to make the house
extra spooky for the young 'uns.

5
00:00:26,025 --> 00:00:28,611
- Not from around here, are you?
- What was my tell?

6
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:31,573
- Well, that accent, for one. [chuckles]
- Guilty.

7
00:00:31,656 --> 00:00:34,451
- What brings you to Pikeville?
- Oh, I'm just passing through.

8
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,829
Funny how a town
I've spent my entire life in

9
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:39,998
is just a rest stop for most.

10
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:42,167
Have a nice day, now.

11
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:44,002
Thank you.

12
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:03,104
[Tom] <i>Hannah Wells...</i>

13
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:08,568
saved this country and my own life

14
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:12,530
more times than should ever
have been necessary.

15
00:01:14,115 --> 00:01:17,243
And given everything that I owed her,
I have to be honest.

16
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:22,332
Personally, I can't tell you
that I knew her very well.

17
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:25,752
I always figured...

18
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:29,464
there would be time for that.

19
00:01:30,882 --> 00:01:34,260
But as I stand here today,
I can tell you what I do know.

20
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:38,515
She served this country
with a kind of passion and commitment

21
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:40,767
that is unparalleled in my eyes.

22
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:45,522
The kind of commitment that led her
to make the ultimate sacrifice.

23
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,068
She will be missed...

24
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:55,949
by me, her friends and her family.

25
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:04,707
<i>Ave atque vale, </i>Agent Wells.

26
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,127
I salute you.

27
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:09,462
[sighs]

28
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:15,093
I am so sorry for your loss.

29
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:22,809
Sir.

30
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,688
Deputy Director Lewis,

31
00:02:26,771 --> 00:02:29,899
I understand that POTUS put you in charge
of the Momberg investigation.

32
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:33,987
I'm heading up a fusion center
coordinating a dozen warring agencies.

33
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:35,947
No one else wanted the job.

34
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:39,576
I want you to meet that bioweapons expert
I told you about, Dr. Mays.

35
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:41,870
OPM set him up
with a temporary appointment.

36
00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,038
Our people out of Quantico
deal with germ warfare.

37
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:46,291
Actually, it's bioterrorism, sir.

38
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,835
Nothing like warfare.
Nothing like anyone's dealt with before.

39
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:49,918
All right, talk to me.

40
00:02:49,961 --> 00:02:53,631
Wouter Momberg,
a South African apartheid-era scientist,

41
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,050
is taking advantage of breakthroughs
in gene editing

42
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,014
to accomplish
what he couldn't back in the '80s.

43
00:02:58,094 --> 00:03:01,556
He's CRISPR'ed together a virus targeting
people with dark-skin pigmentation:

44
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,016
blacks, Arabs, Latinos.

45
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:05,739
We sent his picture to every
law enforcement agency in the country.

46
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:08,313
And I've put out feelers
to do-it-yourself labs across the US.

47
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:11,316
So we're looking for a mad scientist
with genocidal intent.

48
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:12,901
We have no idea where he is.

49
00:03:12,984 --> 00:03:14,402
I checked Genetical's records,

50
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:18,031
the company that supplied Momberg
with the DNA he was using. It turns out...

51
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:20,885
[Aaron] There was an attempted delivery
of genetic material to the brewery

52
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:21,927
the day after it burned down.

53
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:23,202
How does that help us?

54
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,331
This morning, another company
delivered the same genetic sequence

55
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,333
to a post office in Pikeville, Tennessee.

56
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,960
- Did we pick up his trail?
- It took too long to mobilize.

57
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,212
The Tennessee Highway Patrol
had a bad reaction

58
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:34,565
to the feds telling them what to do.

59
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:36,883
And the turf wars begin. God damn it.

60
00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:40,470
- This genetic sequence, what does it do?
- It's hard to know without more context.

61
00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:41,930
Get me some context now.

62
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:45,308
The fact that he's willing to risk
getting caught by picking up a package

63
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:47,268
suggests that he is not going underground.

64
00:03:47,352 --> 00:03:50,021
Which means we have to be prepared
for the possibility

65
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:52,607
of a very real, very imminent
bioterrorist attack.

66
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:55,068
- What's the playbook for this?
- We're writing it.

67
00:03:55,151 --> 00:03:58,821
We do have contingency plans in place
for conventional bio attacks,

68
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:02,325
but the threat of rogue biologists
creating incurable designer diseases...

69
00:04:02,408 --> 00:04:04,178
Is something
we've never had to deal with before.

70
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:06,202
- The technology didn't exist.
- [Aaron] Until now.

71
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,473
For a couple of thousand bucks,

72
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:11,376
an amateur scientist can produce a plague
that could wipe out all of humanity.

73
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:14,254
Except this son of a bitch
isn't going after all of humanity.

74
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:16,339
Just the swarthier set.
Who do we need to tell?

75
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,591
- The fewer the better.
- [Tom] Not necessarily.

76
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,095
This threat is gonna require
massive interagency cooperation.

77
00:04:22,178 --> 00:04:25,390
I've relieved Dianne Lewis
of her responsibilities at the CIA

78
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:27,868
so she can help us coordinate a response
from the Situation Room.

79
00:04:27,892 --> 00:04:28,893
Should we tell the press?

80
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:32,105
We don't know what Momberg's gonna do,
and he doesn't know what we know.

81
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:33,815
We can't have them broadcasting that.

82
00:04:33,898 --> 00:04:36,734
I'll have Lorraine cancel
all the campaign obligations.

83
00:04:36,818 --> 00:04:39,821
No, I think we need to proceed
as if everything is normal.

84
00:04:39,904 --> 00:04:42,782
I have my major TV endorsement
from the unions later today.

85
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:44,909
If I don't attend that, that'll be noted.

86
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,703
That's all for now. Thank you, everyone.

87
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:49,162
Aaron.

88
00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:52,041
[sighs]

89
00:04:53,751 --> 00:04:56,754
- Are we gonna catch this guy?
- Sooner or later.

90
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:58,506
But in time to stop him?

91
00:04:58,589 --> 00:05:02,010
And I thought averting
last week's nuclear threat was a triumph.

92
00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:05,054
Makes me long for the days
of mutually assured destruction.

93
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:07,473
At least then we knew
who our enemies were.

94
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,642
Now anyone
with a little bit of scientific knowledge

95
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:10,893
can unleash Armageddon.

96
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,687
It's hard not to be afraid, sir.

97
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:17,025
You'd be a fool not to be. Thank you.

98
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:18,608
Sir.

99
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,867
[theme music playing]

100
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,881
Ten days before the election, I'm busier
than a whorehouse on nickel night.

101
00:05:39,964 --> 00:05:41,007
This better be good.

102
00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:43,235
- Got a heads-up from a reporter.
- [Lorraine] Mmm-hmm.

103
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:47,305
There's gonna be a story tonight
that implicates Moss.

104
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:49,682
Okay, and?

105
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:52,727
When Garrett Detwiler
was Moss' FDA commissioner,

106
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,481
he rubber-stamped the approval
of FlagKind's prescription painkiller.

107
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:57,482
So what?

108
00:05:57,565 --> 00:06:01,069
FlagKind and the FDA knew
how addictive it was,

109
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:02,862
and they pushed it through anyway.

110
00:06:02,945 --> 00:06:05,031
- Where did you get this?
- Does it matter?

111
00:06:05,114 --> 00:06:07,617
You don't usually color
outside the lines, Mars.

112
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,287
But when you do, God damn it,
[whispers] it's sort of arousing.

113
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:12,497
Fuckers had it coming.

114
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:16,751
Did Moss know about the FDA
pushing the opioid through?

115
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:17,710
Who cares?

116
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,254
If it happens under your administration,
it's your problem.

117
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:23,800
You should care, because you took
the president to Detwiler's fundraiser

118
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,593
and encouraged him to take dark money.

119
00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:27,196
Or have we forgotten that tiny detail?

120
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:30,598
No, that money was used to pay
striking teachers' salaries.

121
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:33,726
The Moss administration uncorked
the opioid epidemic.

122
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:37,021
He is as good as guilty,
so I need these new ads to just...

123
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,982
[grunts] grab him
by the nut sack and twist.

124
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,275
Not a visual I needed.

125
00:06:41,359 --> 00:06:45,196
And I want them running everywhere
right up until the polls close,

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,656
online and on television,

127
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:50,326
especially in the Rust Belt,
where opioid addiction is just rampant.

128
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:52,620
We gotta turn
some of these red states gold.

129
00:06:52,703 --> 00:06:53,972
I'll assign it to Dontae and his team.

130
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:56,374
Meanwhile, the latest data from the GOTV

131
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:59,001
says that West Virginia
is definitely still going to Moss.

132
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:02,505
Yeah, but now we've got a chance
at Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.

133
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:05,174
I think there's a real chance
that we flip New York.

134
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:06,759
We got a home-court advantage.

135
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:09,887
Okay, but we really need Florida
if we even want a chance.

136
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:12,449
[Lorraine] Fasten your seat belts.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.

137
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:14,308
I can't imagine it gets any crazier.

138
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:16,644
[Lorraine] Emily, I've been wondering...

139
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:19,272
You ever think
about what you're gonna do next?

140
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:20,398
After November 5th?

141
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:24,152
Take care of my mom, sleep.
Travel, maybe. Who knows?

142
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:26,779
I'll be sipping a Miami Vice
on a Caribbean island.

143
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:28,239
Sounds lovely.

144
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:29,907
If we can pull off this win,

145
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,161
maybe I should take
a cushy corporate consulting gig,

146
00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:35,455
leave my career in politics on top.

147
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:37,039
I don't buy that for a second.

148
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:40,042
- You get off on this.
- Yeah, you're right. I do.

149
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,753
Winning, it's everything. It's my life.

150
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,673
I think you get off on it, too.

151
00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:47,800
Have you ever considered
staying in the game?

152
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:51,596
An interesting special senatorial election
is coming up in Virginia.

153
00:07:52,221 --> 00:07:53,389
You should think about it.

154
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:58,144
Sixteen intelligence agencies.
How do we get them all on the same page?

155
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,481
Secretary Wolenick from Homeland
will coordinate the FBI response.

156
00:08:01,564 --> 00:08:02,982
Good, they're not happy with me.

157
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:05,902
The director of National Intelligence
doesn't want ownership.

158
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:08,321
It's too politically charged
this close to the election.

159
00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:10,257
- You'll wrangle the Security Council.
- [Aaron] Done.

160
00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:12,909
What about the Office of Terrorism
and Financial Intelligence?

161
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:14,872
An operation like this
would need major funding.

162
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,972
I'll communicate with Treasury,
work on the money flow.

163
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,539
I need you to brief the gang of eight.

164
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:19,975
I don't know if that's a good idea.

165
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,143
We have a responsibility here.

166
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:23,353
I don't want Congress
hearing about this after the fact.

167
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:25,046
- I need you to do it.
- Yes, sir.

168
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:28,883
Anybody gives you any resistance,
send them to me. Let's get moving.

169
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:31,636
[Emily] We need people
currently suffering from opioid addiction

170
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:33,387
and those in recovery.

171
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,431
All ages, races and economic classes.

172
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:37,892
This is all a little crass, no?

173
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,687
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.

174
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:45,691
Oh, Lorraine asked me
what my plans for the future are.

175
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:46,692
So?

176
00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:49,046
Between taking care of my mom
and working on the campaign,

177
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:51,822
I haven't even thought
about what comes next.

178
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:55,117
Which is insane, because two years ago,
all I thought about was the future.

179
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:58,412
I'll either be back at the EEOB
dreaming about hashtags,

180
00:08:58,496 --> 00:09:00,540
or at the unemployment line.

181
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:02,458
That's not true. The president likes you,

182
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:04,603
and he's seen how instrumental
you've been to the campaign.

183
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:05,795
He'll take care of you.

184
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:07,046
[chuckles]

185
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,799
How's everything else?
I haven't heard much about Troy lately.

186
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:10,883
Fire still burning?

187
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:14,220
Things are complicated.

188
00:09:14,303 --> 00:09:16,430
Welcome to my world.
All the good ones are.

189
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,554
- [phone ringing]
- I need those right away, please.

190
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:20,517
[phone beeps]

191
00:09:22,853 --> 00:09:24,438
[door opens]

192
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:26,148
[liquids gurgling]

193
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:28,568
Oh. Uh, hi.

194
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,571
Hello, miss. Beautiful morning, isn't it?

195
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:36,534
Sorry, uh, I'm just used to having
the place to myself this early.

196
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:37,827
[typing]

197
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:40,705
- You at Ole Miss?
- Visiting researcher from Rochester.

198
00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:42,540
I didn't know
we had an exchange with them.

199
00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:43,791
I'm the first.

200
00:09:44,458 --> 00:09:46,252
- Really?
- Yeah.

201
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,714
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

202
00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:50,797
[continues typing]

203
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:54,969
My desk is over there,
so, uh, I'm gonna go.

204
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:57,096
Okay. Yeah.

205
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:19,910
So the problem we're having
making an accurate risk assessment

206
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,054
is identifying his targets.

207
00:10:21,078 --> 00:10:23,164
Sir, we've gamed out these scenarios.

208
00:10:23,247 --> 00:10:25,791
If we get a clearer idea
of what the virus is,

209
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:27,877
we can distribute treatment
through postal workers.

210
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,754
We'd have to develop a treatment first.

211
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:32,298
What's the plan to evacuate people
from infected areas?

212
00:10:32,381 --> 00:10:33,799
There is no plan, sir.

213
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:36,135
[scoffs] Shouldn't that be
our first priority?

214
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,721
In the case of a nuclear
or chemical attack, yes.

215
00:10:38,804 --> 00:10:41,223
But when a disease
is introduced into the population,

216
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:44,143
the infected become
a vector of transmission.

217
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:48,105
They're weaponized,
and we'll have to quarantine them.

218
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:51,359
So you're saying if this disease hits,
one that targets people of color,

219
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,194
I'll be condemning the infected to death?

220
00:10:53,277 --> 00:10:54,277
Yeah.

221
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,578
What is that? Is that algae?

222
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:05,706
Good eyes.

223
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:08,834
OMG, I wish I understood genetics.

224
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:12,922
I just don't have the head for it.
I'm a chem girl all the way.

225
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,256
[chuckling] Okay.

226
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,593
I'm gonna grab a coffee. Do you want one?

227
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:18,969
Oh, no, thank you.

228
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:20,929
Okay.

229
00:11:36,237 --> 00:11:37,238
[line rings]

230
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:39,740
<i>- You have reached the voice-mail box of...</i>
- Come on.

231
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:40,824
[Eli] <i>Eli Mays.</i>

232
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:44,995
Eli, that guy you posted about is here.
He's doing biosynth.

233
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:48,457
From what I could tell, something to do
with a segment of norovirus.

234
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:50,584
And you know my thesis.

235
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:52,670
I... I...

236
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:56,340
Wait, I think he might have left.
But you can track him...

237
00:11:57,007 --> 00:11:59,593
Hey! Get off me.

238
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:02,096
[grunting]

239
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:05,826
[Tom] The FBI playing nice
with Homeland Security?

240
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:09,145
Barely. I'm directing the NSA
to sift through highway cam footage.

241
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,668
[man] Dr. Mays has some information.

242
00:12:12,606 --> 00:12:14,942
We have a lead.
Our DIY guy just got a call

243
00:12:15,025 --> 00:12:18,446
placing Momberg at a lab in Oxford,
Mississippi, near the university.

244
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,198
This DIY scientist with all the intel,
why the hell isn't he here?

245
00:12:21,282 --> 00:12:23,635
- There was a question of clearance, sir.
- [Tom] I don't give a shit.

246
00:12:23,659 --> 00:12:25,411
Get him in here now.

247
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:29,874
You can't expect Congress to keep quiet
about a threat like this, Mars.

248
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:33,794
With all due respect, Speaker,
Title 50 requires that you do just that.

249
00:12:33,878 --> 00:12:36,589
This is a stunt to postpone the election.

250
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:38,966
I assure you, Senator,
this is no such thing.

251
00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:43,262
POTUS wanted to inform you, so that you,
as congressional leadership,

252
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:47,141
can coordinate a calm, measured response
when the time comes.

253
00:12:47,224 --> 00:12:49,393
What is the calm, measured response
for bioterrorism?

254
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:52,146
- Anything but this.
- So what are we telling the public?

255
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:53,481
We say nothing for now.

256
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:55,399
All information flows
from the White House.

257
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:57,568
I have a duty to inform my caucus.

258
00:12:57,651 --> 00:12:58,694
[Mars] This gets out,

259
00:12:58,777 --> 00:13:02,740
people are gonna start panicking
every time someone coughs at a Starbucks.

260
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:04,408
We say nothing.

261
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:06,535
I have an election in ten days.

262
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:09,747
If the press found out I knew
and didn't say anything...

263
00:13:09,830 --> 00:13:12,666
You go public with this,
then I go public with the fact

264
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:16,170
that your first thought
in the face of a terrorist threat

265
00:13:16,253 --> 00:13:19,882
was your reelection,
not the safety of your constituents.

266
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:21,759
You leak, I plug you.

267
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:26,514
- Mr. President, Dr. Eli Mays.
- Dr. Mays, what have you got for us?

268
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:29,517
A colleague out of Mississippi
said she saw Momberg at her lab.

269
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,353
- He was doing something with norovirus.
- Why norovirus?

270
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:35,147
He needs to infect as many people
as quickly as possible.

271
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:37,566
Airborne delivery doesn't reach
enough people fast enough,

272
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,485
but norovirus can survive in water.

273
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:40,921
[Dianne] The only reason for him to use it

274
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,239
would be to hit
an entire population center at once.

275
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,908
What provisions do we have in place
if he attacks a water supply?

276
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:47,671
We could trigger an asset protection plan.

277
00:13:47,701 --> 00:13:50,829
Reach out to the National Guard
to protect reservoirs, treatment plants,

278
00:13:50,913 --> 00:13:53,793
coordinate with first responders
on the ground to check for contaminants.

279
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:55,960
One call, we could mobilize
by the end of day.

280
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:57,169
Show me.

281
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,967
Any of those reservoirs
could be his target.

282
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:06,345
Or none of them. What routes
could he have taken from the brewery?

283
00:14:06,428 --> 00:14:08,556
To Pikeville to Oxford, Mississippi.

284
00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:16,605
What's your call, Mr. President?

285
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:24,989
It's about time.
Do you have anything for me?

286
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,407
[door closes]

287
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,451
Good afternoon. I'm doing great.
Thanks for asking.

288
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:32,371
Okay, there's no time
for pleasantries, Myles.

289
00:14:32,454 --> 00:14:34,915
Is there anything about FlagKind?

290
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,335
Well, after I spent hours
scrubbing through recordings

291
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:42,631
from Moss' computer and cell phone,
I found it, yes.

292
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:47,386
[Phil] <i>Cornelius, we can spin this.</i>

293
00:14:47,469 --> 00:14:49,948
<i>I'm sure the FDA under Kirkman
has some skeletons of their own.</i>

294
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,692
<i>- We just have to dig them up.</i>
- [chuckling]

295
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:53,141
Yeah.

296
00:14:54,184 --> 00:14:56,520
He wants to infect
as many people as possible.

297
00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:59,982
If we move to protect Mississippi
and we're wrong,

298
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,817
our mobilization will tip him off.

299
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,378
He'll just move somewhere else and strike.

300
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:04,862
But he is in Mississippi now,

301
00:15:04,945 --> 00:15:07,031
a state that's nearly
40% African-American.

302
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:09,491
I don't think it's his final destination.

303
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,785
Nashville, Memphis, they're too small.

304
00:15:11,869 --> 00:15:15,205
That leaves New Orleans,
Houston, possibly Dallas.

305
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,166
Mr. President, every minute we wait

306
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:19,043
raises the chances
there'll be a death toll.

307
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:26,175
I want the FBI monitoring assets
here, here and here.

308
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,762
Get your first responders to every
major water source along that route.

309
00:15:29,845 --> 00:15:31,823
- Have them start testing for contaminants.
- On it.

310
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:34,183
How do we get fresh water to people
if they need it?

311
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:36,727
Isabel's office specializes
in clean water initiatives.

312
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:37,853
Tell her we need help.

313
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,856
Sir, now that we know
there could be something in the water,

314
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,000
should we alert the public?

315
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:45,444
No, I don't want to create mass hysteria.
Not when we're this close to finding him.

316
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:47,154
I know the chance I'm taking.

317
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:50,908
[police siren blaring]

318
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:55,245
[Lorraine] There you are.
I was getting worried.

319
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:58,958
AFL-CIO has been waiting for 20 minutes.
Are you ready?

320
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:00,626
As ready as I'll ever be.

321
00:16:00,709 --> 00:16:04,630
Oh, brother. Get your head in the game, K.
Ten days until the election.

322
00:16:04,713 --> 00:16:07,424
We need labor
to get their members to turn out,

323
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,843
which means wooing them with this speech.

324
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:11,553
[Tom] Got it. Ready to woo.

325
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,056
[Lorraine] Good,
there's a lot riding on this.

326
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:16,642
Also, there's an article
coming out tonight

327
00:16:16,725 --> 00:16:21,689
about an unethical FDA opioid approval,
and it implicates Moss.

328
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:23,023
Any risk for us?

329
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,275
Oh, no, on the contrary,

330
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:28,612
I think this is gonna give us
a really big boost in the polls.

331
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:30,614
[Tom] Okay, good. Keep me informed.

332
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:35,077
You know what?
Your excitement is just blowing my mind.

333
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,480
[announcer] Ladies and gentleman,

334
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:39,039
the president
of the United States of America.

335
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,582
[crowd cheering]

336
00:16:42,584 --> 00:16:43,794
[exhales heavily]

337
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,005
Let's get this over with.

338
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:50,676
[crowd continues cheering]

339
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:53,053
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's a pleasure to be here.

340
00:16:54,638 --> 00:16:55,764
[knock on door]

341
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,602
If you're here to beg for my forgiveness,
save it.

342
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:03,272
- I'm here on official NSC business.
- Of course you are.

343
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:07,484
I'm confused.
Do you want me to be here to beg?

344
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:08,736
What do you need, Aaron?

345
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:14,241
If drinking water were to be contaminated,
say with some kind of virus,

346
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:17,119
what additional resources
would you have available?

347
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:19,705
- We could give out LifeStraws.
- LifeStraws?

348
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:24,001
Yeah, they filter out bacteria,
parasites and some viruses from water.

349
00:17:24,084 --> 00:17:26,211
We used them in the Congo
during the Ebola outbreak.

350
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,355
And you can get these quickly?

351
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:29,149
We could get about 10,000
with one phone call.

352
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:30,173
How many would you need?

353
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:32,217
Ten million.

354
00:17:33,969 --> 00:17:36,221
- You're shitting me.
- No.

355
00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:39,058
- What the fuck is going on, Aaron?
- I can't discuss it.

356
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:48,734
Is that it?

357
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:51,611
Okay.

358
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,202
- Where are you staying?
- None of your business.

359
00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:00,370
So that's it?
You're just gonna pack up and leave?

360
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:02,254
We're not even gonna try
to work through this?

361
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:04,917
I will work on finding
ten million LifeStraws.

362
00:18:05,626 --> 00:18:07,044
You can shut the door behind you.

363
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,094
[door closes]

364
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:21,225
The lab in Mississippi turned up
nothing but a dead body.

365
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,478
- No joy from the highway cams in the area.
- He's smarter than that.

366
00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:27,231
The press is hounding me.
They've picked up chatter from DIY...

367
00:18:27,314 --> 00:18:29,483
Seth, not right now.
Please, just handle it.

368
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:33,529
I'm sorry about your friend.

369
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,698
I knew her from conferences.

370
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:41,161
She worked in nanorobotics,

371
00:18:41,745 --> 00:18:45,916
these crazy little machines
small enough to enter a cell.

372
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:48,836
Her thesis.

373
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:51,755
We can track him.

374
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:55,676
My friend did her thesis at MIT
on smart dust,

375
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:59,847
tiny nanites that can be tracked
via radio-frequency identification.

376
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:01,974
I think she managed
to plant some on Momberg.

377
00:19:02,057 --> 00:19:03,183
Why do you think that?

378
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:05,769
Her voice mail.
She said we could track him.

379
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:07,253
I'll have our people check the lab.

380
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:12,067
If she managed to put smart dust
on Momberg, we could set up trackers,

381
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:16,905
tap into existing RFID devices,
antitheft sensors, toll booths.

382
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,032
The radius would be limited,
but it's something.

383
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:20,885
- What would it take?
- [Dianne] We have agents in the field,

384
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:22,762
but we're talking
hundreds of thousands of trackers.

385
00:19:22,786 --> 00:19:25,706
If we were to focus all of our energy
on New Orleans, Houston and Dallas,

386
00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:27,416
would we have the resources to do this?

387
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,668
If that's where he's heading.
And that's a big "if."

388
00:19:29,751 --> 00:19:32,421
- Would we have the resources?
- Yes, sir.

389
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:34,339
Then, do it.

390
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,553
[sighs]

391
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:46,059
What the hell am I doing here?

392
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:47,686
The best you can, sir.

393
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:49,980
[sighs] I was walking backstage
at that union event

394
00:19:50,063 --> 00:19:53,525
and Lorraine was going on about some
opioid article that she was thrilled with,

395
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,944
and all I could think about
was this madman

396
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,363
running around staging a genetic genocide.

397
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,533
We've come a long way
from pressure-cooker bombs in backpacks.

398
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:04,661
I'm just pretending like I know
what I'm doing.

399
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:06,955
The truth is, I don't have a clue.

400
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,293
Choosing not to notify the public,
not to engage law enforcement...

401
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:15,380
I am guessing here.
And what if the smart dust doesn't work?

402
00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:17,257
This guy could strike anytime, anywhere.

403
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:20,427
You're concerned about making
the wrong decisions.

404
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:23,096
Any leader worth a damn would be.

405
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,015
This is more than being concerned.

406
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:30,270
If I'm wrong, I'm gonna have
the blood of thousands on my hands.

407
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,898
There's nothing more we can do here.

408
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:41,240
In the meantime, you need to get some rest
while you still have the opportunity.

409
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,753
<i>My four-year-old and I
came home from church,</i>

410
00:20:55,712 --> 00:20:59,258
<i>and my husband was dead in the bathroom
of a heroin overdose.</i>

411
00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:00,384
[Troy] You working late?

412
00:21:04,012 --> 00:21:06,223
If your plan is to pretend
like nothing happened,

413
00:21:06,306 --> 00:21:07,474
you need a better plan.

414
00:21:16,024 --> 00:21:17,484
[Troy] Look, I don't have a plan.

415
00:21:18,568 --> 00:21:20,779
I'm sorry for how I treated you.

416
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,074
Okay.

417
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:28,328
You know, after you told me,
I ran to get tested.

418
00:21:29,329 --> 00:21:30,914
I was freaking out.

419
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:35,335
And my very gruff and very gay doctor

420
00:21:36,044 --> 00:21:38,755
told me there was no chance
that I was infected.

421
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:44,761
There was no reason for me
to react like I did.

422
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:45,721
I told you that.

423
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:48,974
I understand all that,
but I'm still afraid.

424
00:21:50,767 --> 00:21:55,564
And I'm still upset that you didn't
trust me enough to be upfront.

425
00:21:55,647 --> 00:21:57,691
But you could've brought it up.

426
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:00,110
You're right.

427
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,779
That's on me.

428
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,490
Look, I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

429
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:08,994
When I think about everything
you have to go through,

430
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:13,665
how people treat you, how I treated you,

431
00:22:13,749 --> 00:22:16,293
why did I think
that you owed me an explanation?

432
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:18,128
I get it, though.

433
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:24,426
You think I'm not scared,
having a disease that's killed millions?

434
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:27,471
You are gonna lead a long and happy life.

435
00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:29,639
No, you don't know that.

436
00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:34,394
I told you that first night...

437
00:22:36,229 --> 00:22:38,106
I'm not done kissing you yet.

438
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:41,526
And my doctor...

439
00:22:42,819 --> 00:22:46,281
gave me a prescription for PrEP.

440
00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:49,493
So what? You want, like, a gold star?

441
00:22:50,285 --> 00:22:52,621
Maybe just a second chance.

442
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:00,921
You know,

443
00:23:02,464 --> 00:23:06,843
you never did get to try
my mama's hot-water cornbread.

444
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:09,096
You baked for me?

445
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:12,474
- You fry it, city mouse, in a skillet.
- [chuckles]

446
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:13,557
[chuckles]

447
00:23:33,161 --> 00:23:35,330
Who knows what tomorrow brings?

448
00:23:37,332 --> 00:23:42,754
But I know I don't want
to waste my time being afraid.

449
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:55,559
How you doing, Mom?

450
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:58,895
How do you think I'm feeling?
I'm waiting for the Grim Reaper.

451
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:00,355
Don't say that.

452
00:24:00,438 --> 00:24:04,860
Okay. I'm waiting to walk
into a great beam of light

453
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:07,237
at the Pearly Gates. Better?

454
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,073
Are you hungry?
Can I make you something to eat?

455
00:24:10,157 --> 00:24:12,576
- No.
- You have to keep your strength up.

456
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:17,414
Emily, I'm dying.
Don't be so stubborn about this.

457
00:24:17,497 --> 00:24:19,708
I am trying, Mom, but it is...

458
00:24:20,584 --> 00:24:22,085
It's not easy. And I...

459
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:26,381
I just... [sighs]
I keep thinking that...

460
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,885
You know, what if I'd gone
to the NIH sooner?

461
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:33,805
[voice breaking] Or what if I didn't
come back and work on the campaign?

462
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:37,017
- Things would be different. You would...
- Just stop.

463
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:38,768
[crying]

464
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,772
None of this is your fault.

465
00:24:43,732 --> 00:24:46,568
There isn't anything
you could've done to prevent it.

466
00:24:47,736 --> 00:24:49,988
And I need you to support me on this.

467
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:55,160
And I need to know you're gonna be okay,
that you'll survive when I'm gone.

468
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:59,331
[voice breaking] You have to promise
you will hold my hand...

469
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,667
and you will let me go.

470
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:04,794
[crying]

471
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:10,050
I promise. [sniffles]

472
00:25:13,094 --> 00:25:15,096
[reporter on TV] <i>Was this
a dirty campaign trick</i>

473
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,932
<i>- from President Kirkman's camp?</i>
- No.

474
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,058
<i>It's no coincidence</i>

475
00:25:18,141 --> 00:25:21,770
<i>this years-old information came out
just ten days before the election.</i>

476
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:22,997
[reporter] <i>It's alarming, nonetheless.</i>

477
00:25:23,021 --> 00:25:25,899
<i>We all believed former President Moss
to be a steady hand.</i>

478
00:25:25,982 --> 00:25:29,110
<i>Either he turned a blind eye
to this opioid approval</i>

479
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,695
<i>or fell asleep at the wheel.</i>

480
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,572
<i>Neither sounds presidential to me.</i>

481
00:25:32,656 --> 00:25:34,658
That is so fucking true.

482
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,619
[exhales] And...

483
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:43,250
another marriage down the drain.

484
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,257
[sighs]

485
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:53,218
That stellar of a day?

486
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:55,428
You can't even imagine.

487
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:58,265
Can you talk about it?

488
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:02,394
Or is it one of those "I can't discuss
White House business" things?

489
00:26:02,477 --> 00:26:03,687
[sighs]

490
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:07,691
There's a huge threat
to national security.

491
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:10,318
A lot of people could get hurt.

492
00:26:11,194 --> 00:26:16,032
I haven't a clue as to what to advise
the president to do about it.

493
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:19,452
I'm scared out of my mind.

494
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,914
Well, if there's one thing
I know about you,

495
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:24,791
it's that you always come through.

496
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:28,086
It's one of the reasons
I fell in love with you.

497
00:26:28,169 --> 00:26:29,629
This will be no different.

498
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:33,591
I'm glad you're home.

499
00:26:38,805 --> 00:26:40,724
It was you, wasn't it?

500
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:45,270
The high-ranking government official
who leaked to the press.

501
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:53,445
I almost lost you, Lynn.
I had to do something about it.

502
00:26:54,154 --> 00:26:55,947
So you risked your job?

503
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,199
It was the right thing to do.

504
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,081
Besides, you know how easy it is
to leak from within the swamp.

505
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:11,421
Thank you, for doing this,
for letting me in.

506
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:13,006
It's a nice change.

507
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:17,218
And it's kind of a turn-on.

508
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:24,392
[computer chiming]

509
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:30,982
<i>Dr. Mays. Saw your Bat-Signal.</i>

510
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:32,906
<i>I got some info
on this big bad you're hunting.</i>

511
00:27:38,656 --> 00:27:39,656
[speaking Spanish]

512
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:17,904
- [Sasha] Hi.
- Hey.

513
00:28:17,987 --> 00:28:19,072
Rough day?

514
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:24,994
Worst kind, where every decision you make
could lead to an incredible disaster.

515
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:27,622
Isn't that every day for the president?

516
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:31,000
Not all disasters are created equal.

517
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:33,244
You wouldn't know it
from how people in this town react

518
00:28:33,294 --> 00:28:35,130
when someone wears a tan suit.

519
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:36,297
[Tom chuckles]

520
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,054
For me, the worst thing
about being president...

521
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:47,976
It doesn't matter how many
great advisors you have around you.

522
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,269
At the end of the day...

523
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:51,855
[sighs] it's down to you.

524
00:28:53,273 --> 00:28:55,442
And when you're done, you come back here,

525
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:58,778
to this place
that's supposed to be a home.

526
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:02,782
And I still...

527
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:07,412
You still expect
to find Alex waiting for you.

528
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:13,042
Every goddamn day.
And all I get is this empty room.

529
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,631
That emptiness never goes away.
I feel it, too.

530
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:23,595
I know I'm not my sister.

531
00:29:24,637 --> 00:29:27,056
God knows I don't have her patience.

532
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,560
Or her ability to pull off
a pantsuit. [chuckles]

533
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:32,270
[chuckles]

534
00:29:33,354 --> 00:29:35,190
But I'm here for you, Tom.

535
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:40,278
Thank you, Sasha. I mean it, thank you.

536
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:46,993
Okay, good night.

537
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:57,003
Hello? Anyone in there?

538
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:00,131
[Seth] What are you doing?

539
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:02,541
[Isabel] I'm trying to get in.

540
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:05,178
I think it's safe to say
there's nobody in there.

541
00:30:05,261 --> 00:30:06,638
Nice stilettos, by the way.

542
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:09,307
Shut up. They're pumps.

543
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:11,590
And I didn't think anyone else
would be here this early.

544
00:30:12,143 --> 00:30:16,773
The GSA is usually here by now.
I cannot be reduced to taking a ho bath.

545
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:17,856
"A ho bath"?

546
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:22,153
You stay in the West Wing
with Aaron last night?

547
00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:27,116
You guys got into a fight.

548
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:30,161
We broke up.

549
00:30:30,745 --> 00:30:33,832
Oh, shit. What did he do?

550
00:30:33,915 --> 00:30:35,542
I don't wanna get into it.

551
00:30:36,417 --> 00:30:40,255
I moved out, and into my office.
Temporarily.

552
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:43,675
You've taken up residency in the EEOB?
That's crazy.

553
00:30:43,758 --> 00:30:46,177
I have a couch
that feels like a cumulus cloud.

554
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:48,847
- You'll stay with me.
- No, I can't.

555
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,849
- [keys jingling]
- Finally.

556
00:30:50,932 --> 00:30:54,644
You can and you will.
It'll be like a middle-school sleepover.

557
00:30:54,727 --> 00:30:57,480
You had girls coming over
to your sleepover in middle school?

558
00:30:57,564 --> 00:30:59,065
In my dreams.

559
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:06,364
<i>The opioid epidemic is in every family
throughout the USA.</i>

560
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:10,535
<i>I could probably go get a prescription
for tramadol today if I wanted to.</i>

561
00:31:10,618 --> 00:31:13,288
<i>It's heroin.
Of course the manufacturers know that.</i>

562
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:15,498
<i>They're made out of the same stuff.</i>

563
00:31:15,582 --> 00:31:17,601
<i>When I think about all those people
struggling out there,</i>

564
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:19,460
<i>they're suffering through this...</i>

565
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:22,046
[voice breaking] <i>like my cousin.
Excuse me.</i>

566
00:31:22,755 --> 00:31:24,007
[crying]

567
00:31:24,090 --> 00:31:26,301
<i>They just need so much more love.</i>

568
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:33,057
<i>People will fight and say they do not want
rehab facilities in their area.</i>

569
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:34,851
<i>I knew I was hooked at that point.</i>

570
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:37,854
<i>Eventually, I got in a car accident
with my son.</i>

571
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:40,106
<i>I nodded out at the wheel,</i>

572
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:43,484
<i>and instead of getting my crying toddler
out of the car</i>

573
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:45,403
<i>that was smoking and smoldering,</i>

574
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:49,032
<i>I got my drugs out first,
and then I went back for my child.</i>

575
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:54,162
- [sighs] So what'd you think?
- It's good. Release it.

576
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:56,998
Add a photo of Moss' ugly mug
to the next one.

577
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:58,541
And I want a voice-over that says,

578
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,920
"His name is Cornelius Moss,
and he approved this drug."

579
00:32:02,003 --> 00:32:05,006
- Wow. Not pulling any punches.
- We need to be ready with the big guns.

580
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:06,716
I have a feeling that Moss' team

581
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,344
is gonna go through FDA approvals
under Kirkman.

582
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:10,803
Why would you think that?

583
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,722
It's called gaming the possibilities,
sweetie.

584
00:32:12,805 --> 00:32:16,225
I've been doing this a long time.
It's what I would do if I were them.

585
00:32:16,309 --> 00:32:19,187
Let's find anything questionable
and prepare statements.

586
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:21,773
- I'll reach out to the FDA.
- Get Isabel's help.

587
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:28,435
[Seth] How was the night watch?

588
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:31,366
It's amazing what one can do on no sleep.

589
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:34,535
The White House creed. What's the latest?

590
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:37,497
The FBI was able to pull some data
from a hard drive

591
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,499
recovered after the brewery fire.

592
00:32:39,582 --> 00:32:43,920
They confirmed that Momberg was
working with our trail of dead scientists.

593
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,089
He's the mastermind.

594
00:32:46,172 --> 00:32:49,092
It looks that way,
except Treasury found huge sums

595
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:53,096
wired to the brewery over the past year
from a shell corp in Delaware.

596
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:54,514
Is this a mercenary job?

597
00:32:54,597 --> 00:32:58,184
No, this is his life's work.
He has a patron.

598
00:32:58,267 --> 00:33:00,186
A wealthy American, by the look of it.

599
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:02,730
I'm heading to the Situation Room.

600
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,316
Aaron, come with me.
Mars, hold down the fort.

601
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,776
[Seth] Sir, I spoke to the CDC.

602
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:08,619
They said the more information
the public has

603
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:10,133
before something happens, the better.

604
00:33:10,196 --> 00:33:12,532
Well, I'm sorry,
we don't have any information.

605
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,368
I could put out some guidance
under the guise of flu prevention.

606
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:17,537
Coughing into your elbow,
frequent handwashing.

607
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:19,789
Seth, water might be
how this thing spreads.

608
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:23,042
Okay, so not that, but we have to say
something, Mr. President.

609
00:33:24,127 --> 00:33:25,503
I'm sorry, it's too soon.

610
00:33:26,087 --> 00:33:28,214
Sir, maybe if you and your kids
were being targeted,

611
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:30,925
- you might feel differently.
- [Mars] You're out of line.

612
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,469
No, say what you've gotta say.

613
00:33:34,554 --> 00:33:37,348
Momberg's plan doesn't target
anyone in this room except me.

614
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,601
And from where I stand,
I'm sorry, sir, I...

615
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,688
I can't help but wonder
if maybe it's easier

616
00:33:43,771 --> 00:33:47,066
taking a chance on someone's life
when they don't look like you.

617
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:52,238
Seth, I understand how you might think
I'm taking this less personally than you,

618
00:33:52,321 --> 00:33:56,200
but I am responsible for the safety
and security of every American citizen.

619
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:59,412
I took an oath to that effect,
and I didn't take it lightly.

620
00:33:59,495 --> 00:34:01,831
We don't know
what we're dealing with here.

621
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:04,792
We don't know if hand sanitizer
helps this stuff grow

622
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:07,545
or if it has an affinity
for the cotton in breathing masks.

623
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:11,466
The only chance we've got
is to capture this monster,

624
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:13,301
and it's as simple as that.

625
00:34:16,596 --> 00:34:18,598
["King of the Road" playing on radio]

626
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:23,770
[singing indistinctly]

627
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:36,157
Isabel.

628
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:40,912
- I'm a little busy right now.
- I need your help.

629
00:34:40,995 --> 00:34:44,123
- This better not be about water.
- Water? No, uh...

630
00:34:44,207 --> 00:34:46,626
Lorraine wants me
to look into FDA drug approvals

631
00:34:46,709 --> 00:34:48,127
under the president's governance.

632
00:34:48,211 --> 00:34:51,297
- That sounds like a campaign issue.
- Technically, it is.

633
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,525
But if the Moss campaign
gets this information before we do,

634
00:34:53,549 --> 00:34:55,468
it could also be
attacking the administration.

635
00:34:55,551 --> 00:34:58,054
So you want me to violate the Hatch Act

636
00:34:58,137 --> 00:35:01,265
to help you and Lorraine
beat Moss at his own game?

637
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:02,934
In simple terms, yes.

638
00:35:03,017 --> 00:35:05,812
- Well, in simple terms, no.
- Is something wrong?

639
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:11,943
Emily, you can drop the pretense.
I know what's up.

640
00:35:12,026 --> 00:35:13,361
Excuse me?

641
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:16,114
Don't fucking bullshit me.

642
00:35:17,824 --> 00:35:18,991
Aaron told me.

643
00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:24,455
[sighs]

644
00:35:29,085 --> 00:35:30,670
[Eli] Davis Marlowe.

645
00:35:30,753 --> 00:35:33,005
[Davis] I've ordered drinks.
You a fan of Hefeweizen?

646
00:35:33,089 --> 00:35:34,549
I just drove two hours

647
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:37,319
because you were worried the Illuminati
were monitoring our video chat.

648
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:39,679
I have no time for drinks
or get-to-know-you prattle.

649
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:40,763
Okay.

650
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:43,474
I had a visitor in my lab last year.

651
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:47,478
He was very Waspy.
Skinny legs, painful sting.

652
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,735
He wanted to pay me
to do research on infections

653
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:52,942
that precisely target
population subgroups.

654
00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:55,027
And this wasn't a red flag how?

655
00:35:55,111 --> 00:35:56,404
I said no, obviously.

656
00:35:57,071 --> 00:35:59,282
Pretty bananas, the sum of money
he was offering.

657
00:35:59,365 --> 00:36:01,093
- Did you catch his name?
- He never told me.

658
00:36:01,117 --> 00:36:04,245
My point is that even though I said no,
doesn't mean everyone else will.

659
00:36:04,912 --> 00:36:08,207
Momberg? He's on this guy's payroll?

660
00:36:08,291 --> 00:36:11,127
An exiled scientist
doesn't have the dough to pull this off.

661
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,588
Not without help from someone
higher up in the food chain.

662
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:19,594
Can you believe the campaign wants me
to dig through Kirkman's FDA approvals?

663
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:21,387
- Do it.
- I'm sorry, what?

664
00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:23,723
Looking into the president
doesn't defy the Hatch Act.

665
00:36:23,806 --> 00:36:25,516
Collaborate with the campaign on this one.

666
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,036
Due respect, sir, but why are you
suddenly being so accommodating?

667
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:30,938
FlagKind is exactly
what pharma shouldn't be.

668
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:33,065
They're worse
than the dealers on the corner,

669
00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:35,193
disguising addiction as healing.

670
00:36:35,276 --> 00:36:38,487
- So this is about your wife?
- I have an axe to grind, yes.

671
00:36:38,571 --> 00:36:40,698
And I wanna put it
right through their fucking heads.

672
00:36:40,781 --> 00:36:41,699
Understood.

673
00:36:41,782 --> 00:36:44,368
I'm glad someone's finally bringing
companies like this down,

674
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:46,212
but it's a little messed up,
don't you think?

675
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:47,205
Which part?

676
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:50,124
People of color have been
battling addiction for decades.

677
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:53,002
All we get is the war on drugs
and a prison sentence.

678
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:55,963
It isn't until white folks start dying
that things change.

679
00:36:56,923 --> 00:36:58,132
No offense.

680
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:00,301
You're right.

681
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:02,595
I like working with you.

682
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:04,889
You say what you mean
and you mean what you say.

683
00:37:04,972 --> 00:37:07,934
That is a good quality in this game.
Don't lose it.

684
00:37:10,811 --> 00:37:13,397
He's in Houston.
We got a ping on the smart dust.

685
00:37:13,981 --> 00:37:15,566
I've coordinated with the local PD,

686
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:17,944
and they're tapping into RFID sensors
all across the city.

687
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:20,112
The whole town is one big detection grid.

688
00:37:20,196 --> 00:37:22,591
- What did you tell them?
- We're searching for a child kidnapper.

689
00:37:22,615 --> 00:37:25,493
Aaron, inform the governor
and the mayor on the situation.

690
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:29,205
Texas is a Republican stronghold
and Moss' home state.

691
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:32,041
Whatever we tell the governor,
it's going to come back to him.

692
00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:33,709
Then we beat them to the punch.

693
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:36,295
We brief the Moss and Porter campaign
as well.

694
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:37,838
They're not gonna mess with us here.

695
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:40,299
This isn't political.
This is a national emergency.

696
00:37:43,678 --> 00:37:46,722
Felix? Yeah, get Phil Brunton
and Sophia Chase

697
00:37:46,806 --> 00:37:49,225
from the Moss and Porter campaign
in immediately.

698
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:52,228
Seth, set up that press conference
you've been waiting for.

699
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:54,814
We're gonna catch this bastard.

700
00:38:00,653 --> 00:38:02,655
[alarm blaring]

701
00:38:10,913 --> 00:38:13,916
Sorry about that, sir.
It's been malfunctioning all day.

702
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,210
I can get you checked in right over here.

703
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,962
- Thank you, son.
- Of course.

704
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:20,673
Nearly scared an old man half to death.

705
00:38:21,382 --> 00:38:22,466
[chuckles]

706
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:25,720
[clears throat]

707
00:38:26,762 --> 00:38:28,764
[operator] <i>911. What is your emergency?</i>

708
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:31,392
So you're telling us there's
a credible bioterrorism threat

709
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:32,911
in the nation's fourth-largest city?

710
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:34,186
More than credible, yes.

711
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,355
And we're not allowed
to say anything about it?

712
00:38:36,439 --> 00:38:39,942
This is not a political issue, Sophia.
It is national security.

713
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:41,628
[Sophia] So Porter's supposed
to sit on his hands

714
00:38:41,652 --> 00:38:44,030
while you go in with guns blazing
and save the world?

715
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:46,532
That's page one
out of the reelection handbook.

716
00:38:46,615 --> 00:38:48,260
President Kirkman
doesn't play by the book.

717
00:38:48,284 --> 00:38:49,744
They all play by the book.

718
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:51,245
Phil, what do you think?

719
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:54,165
I think we should give them
the benefit of the doubt.

720
00:38:56,751 --> 00:39:00,338
You'll have plenty of time to spin this
when it's all over.

721
00:39:00,421 --> 00:39:01,797
Provided we're still here.

722
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:03,591
Thank you.

723
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:07,094
I didn't expect you to be so reasonable.

724
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,013
Doesn't exactly fit your reputation.

725
00:39:09,096 --> 00:39:10,389
Country before party.

726
00:39:16,729 --> 00:39:19,357
- What did the governor say?
- See for yourself, sir.

727
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,526
<i>We were made aware of the threat
only moments ago,</i>

728
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:24,779
<i>and we were told to keep our mouths shut.</i>

729
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:27,156
<i>But unlike President Kirkman
and his cronies,</i>

730
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,743
<i>I believe our constituents have a right
to know when their lives are in danger.</i>

731
00:39:30,826 --> 00:39:34,580
<i>So in consultation with President Moss,
I decided to inform the public.</i>

732
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:35,831
Are you kidding me?

733
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:38,626
Get me the governor and the mayor
back on the line now.

734
00:39:39,251 --> 00:39:40,294
[phone beeps]

735
00:39:50,304 --> 00:39:51,573
Governor, what the hell were you thinking?

736
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:53,224
Do you have any idea what you've done?

737
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:54,642
<i>I was well within my rights.</i>

738
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:56,143
No, sir, you were not!

739
00:39:56,227 --> 00:40:00,147
That was classified information
I gave you out of respect to your office.

740
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:03,859
That political stunt that you just pulled
may have tipped off our suspect

741
00:40:03,943 --> 00:40:06,278
and will cause widespread panic
across your state.

742
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,406
<i>- We have it under control.</i>
- No, sir, you don't.

743
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:11,075
What you're gonna have
is riots in the street over bottled water,

744
00:40:11,158 --> 00:40:12,158
you son of a bitch.

745
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:15,204
<i>Mr. President, what's the plan here?
My city's in danger.</i>

746
00:40:15,287 --> 00:40:18,374
The plan was to capture the guy.
If we fail to do that now,

747
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:20,543
we have measures in place
to quarantine your city.

748
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:23,254
<i>Quarantine a city
of six and a half million?</i>

749
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,256
We have the National Guard standing by.

750
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:27,925
<i>Like hell you do.
I command the National Guard in my state.</i>

751
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:29,218
No, you don't, Governor.

752
00:40:29,301 --> 00:40:31,512
My authority supersedes yours
in this matter.

753
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:35,099
And because of what you've done,
we have to consider invoking martial law.

754
00:40:35,182 --> 00:40:38,978
<i>"Martial law"? You can't be serious.
It's been 100 years since...</i>

755
00:40:39,061 --> 00:40:41,689
<i>You are the poster boy
for government overreach.</i>

756
00:40:41,772 --> 00:40:43,083
<i>- We will fight you on this.</i>
- [Dianne] Mr. President.

757
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:44,316
Excuse me.

758
00:40:47,903 --> 00:40:49,238
We're closing in on him.

759
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:08,799
[agent] Sir, come with me please.
This way.

760
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:26,025
- [agent 1] Freeze!
- [agent 2] Drop the bag!

761
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:28,736
Drop the bag.

762
00:41:31,113 --> 00:41:33,073
I said drop the bag now!

763
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:36,160
Fifty years of working
for the betterment of mankind,

764
00:41:36,243 --> 00:41:40,915
only to meet an ignoble end
in some cheap hotel

765
00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:43,417
at the hands of lesser men.

766
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:44,793
But don't worry.

767
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:47,546
My work will go on.

768
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:48,631
I said drop it!

769
00:41:49,757 --> 00:41:51,133
[Momberg] Your days are numbered.

770
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:56,764
Pandora's box is open, and her demons
will reshape the face of this earth,

771
00:41:56,847 --> 00:42:00,142
and I will forever be known
as the one who unleashed them.

772
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:02,228
[coughing]

773
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:06,690
Cyanide.

774
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:10,402
Won't be long now.

775
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:15,652
[agent 2] Let's get a medic!

776
00:42:18,077 --> 00:42:20,454
[agent 3 over phone] <i>Subject is down,
medic attending.</i>

777
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:21,872
<i>The subject is unresponsive.</i>

778
00:42:21,956 --> 00:42:23,374
We got him. He's dead.

779
00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:26,752
Great work.

780
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:28,963
Great work.

781
00:42:35,761 --> 00:42:38,055
Madam Mayor,
it is with honor that I tell you

782
00:42:38,138 --> 00:42:40,474
that the threat to your city
has been neutralized.

783
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:42,309
<i>Mr. President, I demand to know...</i>

784
00:42:42,893 --> 00:42:45,854
<i>Thank you, Mr. President.
Houston is in your debt.</i>

785
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:50,943
[sighs]

786
00:43:02,329 --> 00:43:04,456
Got an update on FDA approvals?

787
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:06,834
Isabel and I couldn't find
a single contentious decision.

788
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:10,337
FlagKind's gonna have to give away
their new drug free of cost.

789
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:13,632
- That's mighty specific.
- What else are they gonna do? Apologize?

790
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:14,842
They could pay a fine.

791
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:17,696
I've never heard of a Big Pharma company
giving away their drugs for free.

792
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:19,471
Sweetheart, I'm inside Moss' head.

793
00:43:19,555 --> 00:43:20,865
- [cell phone chimes]
- This could be the breaking point

794
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:23,183
for our Republican voters
that are leaning to the center.

795
00:43:23,267 --> 00:43:25,662
A new poll shows Porter is still ahead
in New York by four points.

796
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:28,355
We cannot let this election
slip through our fingers.

797
00:43:28,439 --> 00:43:31,567
Go scrub through all the old footage
we have for new spots.

798
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:34,653
We're gonna keep rolling 'em out. Go. Go.

799
00:43:37,031 --> 00:43:39,450
I think Lorraine has a mole
in the Moss campaign.

800
00:43:40,534 --> 00:43:41,535
No way.

801
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,958
[inaudible]

802
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,588
That was an operation
for the history books.

803
00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:55,633
- I got lucky.
- This is no time for modesty.

804
00:43:55,716 --> 00:43:58,552
You saved a lot of lives today,
Mr. President.

805
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:01,639
That's not gonna stop me
from mourning the ones I didn't.

806
00:44:01,722 --> 00:44:04,099
Which is the reason why
you're the right man for this job.

807
00:44:04,183 --> 00:44:07,561
Could you imagine a corporate shill
like Porter at the helm today?

808
00:44:07,645 --> 00:44:09,271
Or a petty dictator like Moss?

809
00:44:09,355 --> 00:44:12,816
They don't care about service,
country, the American people.

810
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,319
They care about power.

811
00:44:15,944 --> 00:44:18,822
- But I'm the one losing.
- You're gonna beat Porter.

812
00:44:19,531 --> 00:44:21,950
But Moss does ignite
a portion of this country

813
00:44:22,034 --> 00:44:26,330
that many of us like to forget exists,
which is why you have to beat him.

814
00:44:27,081 --> 00:44:28,415
Today proved that.

815
00:44:29,041 --> 00:44:31,210
Mr. President, Deputy Director Lewis.

816
00:44:31,293 --> 00:44:32,586
The heroes of the hour.

817
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:37,716
Mr. President, I'm afraid Dr. Mays
has some disturbing news.

818
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,219
I was taking down my posts about Momberg,

819
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:43,847
and I came across instructions
to make his nightmare virus online.

820
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:45,474
How is that possible?

821
00:44:45,557 --> 00:44:47,117
[Dianne] Before Momberg killed himself,

822
00:44:47,184 --> 00:44:50,646
he uploaded his methodology
to a public DIY forum.

823
00:44:50,729 --> 00:44:53,857
They've scrubbed it, but it's already been
downloaded at least a dozen times.

824
00:44:53,941 --> 00:44:56,628
So you're telling me that anyone
can access this information and use it?

825
00:44:56,652 --> 00:45:00,030
Not anyone. It's an insanely
difficult piece of genetic engineering,

826
00:45:00,114 --> 00:45:01,514
and there's no way to know for sure

827
00:45:01,573 --> 00:45:03,385
if it would have been lethal
without testing it.

828
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:06,286
- Quantico's running a sample.
- What can we do about this?

829
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:09,289
Start controlling the sale
of genetic material.

830
00:45:09,373 --> 00:45:12,042
Make lethal sequences hard,
if not impossible, to get.

831
00:45:12,126 --> 00:45:15,879
And, if Agent Wells taught me anything,

832
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:18,841
get people like me, scientists,
to advise you.

833
00:45:18,924 --> 00:45:21,885
- And if this happens again?
- Not "if," sir, "when."

834
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:25,389
This wasn't the first time.
It won't be the last.

835
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:33,331
[Detwiler on TV] <i>As chairman
of the board of FlagKind,</i>

839
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:44,324

840
00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:47,327
<i>he does feel a responsibility

841
00:45:47,411 --> 00:45:50,122

[imitates gunshot]

844
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,181
[Seth] You guys have to swear
not to repeat what I just said.

845
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:09,141
If Harper finds out that I told you

846
00:46:09,224 --> 00:46:13,729
before the "we narrowly avoided genocide"
presser tomorrow, he'll kill me.

847
00:46:13,812 --> 00:46:14,938
Like, murder me dead.

848
00:46:15,022 --> 00:46:17,083
Doesn't sound like he's the only one
who wants you dead.

849
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:19,526
- Or us dead.
- [Seth] You might've had a chance.

850
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:22,821
You're more of a coffee and two creams
than either of us.

851
00:46:22,905 --> 00:46:25,115
Hey, Puerto Ricans have a long history

852
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,452
of being the targets
of genocidal experiments.

853
00:46:28,994 --> 00:46:30,954
- Read about it.
- I'm a black gay man.

854
00:46:31,538 --> 00:46:32,938
Pretty sure that trumps everything.

855
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:35,667
People think I'm a Muslim terrorist
trying to do them harm.

856
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,670
Going through airport security's a bitch.

857
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:41,715
Like when I walk into a store
and spend more than 15 seconds browsing?

858
00:46:41,798 --> 00:46:45,052
But, guys, didn't you hear? This is what
a post-racial society looks like.

859
00:46:45,677 --> 00:46:46,677
We're all screwed.

860
00:46:47,429 --> 00:46:48,430
Cheers.

861
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:55,312
Do you think he was able to infect anyone?

862
00:46:56,396 --> 00:46:57,814
Before they got him?

863
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:15,916
Thanks for the heads-up.

864
00:47:42,776 --> 00:47:45,195
- What's wrong, Daddy?
- Nothing.

865
00:47:46,405 --> 00:47:50,158
I just wanted to say good night
to my favorite daughter.

866
00:47:52,911 --> 00:47:54,871
I'm your only daughter, silly.

867
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:57,791
Well, it doesn't make it any less true.

868
00:47:58,667 --> 00:48:00,043
You look sad.

869
00:48:04,631 --> 00:48:05,799
Did something happen?

870
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:09,845
Nothing for you to worry about.

871
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:14,141
I love you.

872
00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:16,310
I love you, too.

873
00:48:17,603 --> 00:48:19,396
Come here, give me a hug.

874
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:21,982
[sighs]

875
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:28,238
Okay.

876
00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:31,992
Time for you to go back to sleep.

877
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:35,787
- Good night, Dad.
- Good night, sweetheart.

878
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,383
[cell phone ringing]

879
00:48:53,722 --> 00:48:54,556
Hey.

880
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,451
[Davis] <i>Remember that guy
who came to my lab I told you about?</i>

881
00:48:56,475 --> 00:48:58,685
The one looking to make ethnic bioweapons?

882
00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:00,604
Turn on CNBS.

883

That's him.
