1
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:12,976
- [man 1 over radio] Target is on the move.
- [camera shutter clicking]
2
00:00:17,142 --> 00:00:18,782
[man 2 over radio] I have eyes on target.
3
00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:23,440
The FBI has Phil Brunton
under 24-hour surveillance.
4
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:26,985
How is Moss' chief strategist
connected to the bioterror threat?
5
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:29,195
Feds found someone solicited by Brunton
6
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:32,240
to research and develop
bioethnically targeted infections.
7
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:33,408
We've confirmed that?
8
00:00:33,491 --> 00:00:35,219
[Rachelle] NSA was brought in,
and they've now tied Brunton
9
00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:37,579
to the dead terrorist, Momberg,
through phone records.
10
00:00:37,662 --> 00:00:41,166
Do I have to tiptoe around
the GOP elephant in the room?
11
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:43,001
Is Moss involved?
12
00:00:43,084 --> 00:00:44,586
- FBI doesn't know.
- He couldn't be.
13
00:00:44,669 --> 00:00:48,465
Well, if he is, his loyal attack weasel
will never tell.
14
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,008
Moss is ahead in the polls.
15
00:00:50,091 --> 00:00:52,761
Brunton will stay quiet,
hoping for a pardon if he wins.
16
00:00:54,053 --> 00:00:55,889
Where are we at with the arrest?
17
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:59,517
That is the question
causing a run on Imodium at the DOJ.
18
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:01,983
The grand jury handed down
a sealed indictment,
19
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:05,774
but Director Vargas prides himself
on keeping the FBI apolitical.
20
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:09,402
Which is why they back-channeled this
through the White House Counsel's office.
21
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:11,738
The bureau has a long-standing protocol
22
00:01:11,821 --> 00:01:14,141
of refraining from making
major decisions in investigations
23
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:17,285
- in the weeks preceding an election.
- We're less than a week out.
24
00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:18,512
An arrest now gives the appearance
25
00:01:18,536 --> 00:01:20,639
that they're using their authority
to influence the outcome.
26
00:01:20,663 --> 00:01:23,100
We don't know what Brunton could do
if he's allowed to remain free.
27
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:26,377
I'm sorry, but I have to step in here.
My job is to protect the American people.
28
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:28,004
And my job is to protect you.
29
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:31,341
As president, you do not have authority
to order a prosecution.
30
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:34,093
Abuse of power opens you
to a range of consequences.
31
00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:35,553
And think of the optics.
32
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:38,056
Ordering the arrest
of your political rival's top surrogate?
33
00:01:38,139 --> 00:01:39,766
I still have to do something.
34
00:01:39,849 --> 00:01:42,185
Your interference
could jeopardize the case.
35
00:01:44,145 --> 00:01:45,625
I strongly advise you stay out of it.
36
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,442
Okay, fine.
Thank you, Rachelle. Thank you.
37
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,031
She's right about the optics.
38
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:58,201
You're behind in the polls.
It'll look political.
39
00:02:01,329 --> 00:02:02,497
You know Vargas.
40
00:02:06,417 --> 00:02:08,419
[theme music playing]
41
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:27,397
You're speaking
on behalf of the president?
42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,941
He wants you to know
that this isn't a White House
43
00:02:30,024 --> 00:02:32,610
that's going to interfere
in an investigation.
44
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:35,989
Then why are we meeting
in a security camera blind spot, Mars?
45
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:39,159
Vargas, the FBI should proceed
by the book.
46
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:40,242
We are.
47
00:02:41,035 --> 00:02:43,288
We don't put our thumb
on the electoral scale.
48
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:45,665
I was referring to the part that says,
49
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:50,670
when there's a bioterrorism threat,
you haul ass to keep people safe.
50
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:53,381
Political blowback be damned.
51
00:02:53,464 --> 00:02:55,717
Manipulating an ongoing
criminal investigation
52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,927
can come back to bite you, Mars.
53
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,890
We have Brunton under surveillance.
We can wait it out.
54
00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:05,435
I understand the FBI
is an independent organization.
55
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:10,273
But you guys really shit the bed
on this bioterror investigation.
56
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:11,774
I think we're done here.
57
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:16,112
The only reason there wasn't a pandemic
of God-knows-what in Houston
58
00:03:16,195 --> 00:03:18,406
was because Hannah Wells
wouldn't let it go
59
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:22,619
when the FBI shut it down.
It cost her her life.
60
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:27,957
If there is another attack
between now and election day,
61
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:29,751
it's on you.
62
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:36,132
[cell phone vibrating]
63
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:38,926
[Seth] Hello.
64
00:03:39,969 --> 00:03:43,139
Uh, I'm just going to get some coffee.
I was not watching you sleep.
65
00:03:43,681 --> 00:03:45,683
[cell phone continues vibrating]
66
00:03:47,518 --> 00:03:49,687
Stop bothering me.
67
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:51,272
Telemarketer?
68
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:52,899
[Isabel] Worse.
69
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:54,984
Lorraine.
70
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:57,153
She keeps hounding me
71
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:01,074
to go on today's campaign swing
through Florida with Aaron.
72
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:03,743
- To keep up appearances.
- Will you?
73
00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:06,955
I thought you weren't supposed to
involve yourself in campaign issues.
74
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:10,041
Hey, I'm on my personal time here.
I'm just an ordinary concerned citizen.
75
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:12,627
No, I'm not going.
76
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:14,461
Follow-up question.
77
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:17,632
Not that I don't love having you
as a houseguest, but...
78
00:04:17,715 --> 00:04:19,755
is there any chance
you guys will get back together?
79
00:04:20,718 --> 00:04:21,718
No.
80
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:28,977
I know it's unfair to ask you to play
the role of the supportive good spouse,
81
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,355
- but Kirkman's down in Florida.
- Seth... [sighs]
82
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,816
It just sucks that he has
to suffer collateral damage
83
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,150
because of what Aaron did.
84
00:04:37,151 --> 00:04:38,403
Was it really that bad?
85
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:42,282
He slept with Emily.
86
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:46,609
Yeah, fuck that asshole.
You're not campaigning for him.
87
00:04:56,587 --> 00:04:58,589
[glass shatters]
88
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,804
[agent 1] Federal agents. Do not move!
89
00:05:04,887 --> 00:05:06,014
What the fuck?
90
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:08,075
- Phil Brunton?
- You can't just break into my home.
91
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:10,019
We may enter unannounced
with a no-knock warrant.
92
00:05:10,059 --> 00:05:11,561
Get dressed and come with me.
93
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:14,230
- Latest numbers are in.
- [Lorraine] Okay.
94
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,900
Kirkman is trailing behind
by four points in Nevada,
95
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:19,736
and three in Arizona and Tennessee.
96
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:23,448
Damn it! I've got to turn
some of this purple to gold.
97
00:05:23,531 --> 00:05:25,491
You're like a reverse Midas.
98
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:26,826
Shoot the messenger, please.
99
00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:30,538
If these numbers hold,
there is no path to victory.
100
00:05:31,914 --> 00:05:34,334
Is there any movement in his home state?
101
00:05:34,417 --> 00:05:36,020
No, looks like New York's
still going to Porter.
102
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:37,962
Well, screw New York.
103
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:40,465
If they're gonna keep sucking
Democrat balls,
104
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:43,634
then I'm not wasting any more
of my precious funds on them.
105
00:05:43,718 --> 00:05:45,878
Too late. POTUS is doing
a whistle-stop there tomorrow.
106
00:05:45,928 --> 00:05:49,015
Give my regards to Broadway.
We're scuttling that New York trip.
107
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,726
Let's reroute him some place
where he has a chance.
108
00:05:51,809 --> 00:05:54,353
There was a small uptick in Texas
after the Houston incident.
109
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:56,797
- I'm sorry. Are you high?
- [woman] Oh, my God! Turn it up.
110
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,250
[reporter on TV] It's now confirmed
that Phil Brunton,
111
00:05:58,274 --> 00:06:01,569
the chief domestic strategist
for the Moss presidential campaign,
112
00:06:01,652 --> 00:06:05,364
was taken into custody by federal agents
early this morning.
113
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:09,202
The charges related to last week's
attempted bioterror attack.
114
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:15,458
Whoo-hoo! October surprise, bitches.
All bets are off for Moss now.
115
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:18,169
Texas is officially in play!
116
00:06:21,255 --> 00:06:24,092
The Performing Arts Center in Albany
is shaped like an egg.
117
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,176
Can I see?
118
00:06:26,844 --> 00:06:29,597
Like an egg sliced in half.
Do we get to see it today?
119
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,642
Unfortunately, sweetheart, the campaign
is moving at a sprinter's pace
120
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:36,312
in the 26th mile of a marathon.
And Albany did not make the cut.
121
00:06:36,395 --> 00:06:39,398
Well, egg or no egg,
we'll have a great trip, Pen.
122
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:40,483
Are you nervous?
123
00:06:41,526 --> 00:06:44,403
- Not really.
- She's too cool to be nervous.
124
00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:47,007
How about you? Are you nervous
about introducing me in Manhattan?
125
00:06:47,031 --> 00:06:50,660
Well, I have a lot of friends there
coming to support me, so that helps.
126
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:53,704
You look tired. Is everything okay?
127
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,290
I'm not even sure
if I closed my eyes last night.
128
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:58,793
An insomniac's dream
is a regular person's sleep.
129
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:01,420
[Lorraine] Hey-ho, good morning.
130
00:07:01,504 --> 00:07:05,299
We got a date with a state
and her name is Texas.
131
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:08,136
- Ladies, can I have a second?
- We were just leaving.
132
00:07:08,928 --> 00:07:10,179
See you later.
133
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,766
[sighs] What happened to New York?
134
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:16,727
Phil Brunton happened.
Don't fight me on Texas.
135
00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:18,771
Moss has fallen, and we would be remiss
136
00:07:18,855 --> 00:07:20,624
if we didn't kick him a little
while he's down.
137
00:07:20,648 --> 00:07:23,025
I still can't wrap my head around this.
Could he have known?
138
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,236
The Moss I worked for? No.
139
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,489
But he'd do anything to win,
and you've got to make this all about him.
140
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:31,659
- He hasn't been implicated.
- He signed the terrorist's paycheck.
141
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:32,618
Still doesn't mean he knew.
142
00:07:32,702 --> 00:07:33,786
His hands are bloody,
143
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,581
whether he held the knife
or shook the hand of the guy who did.
144
00:07:36,664 --> 00:07:38,624
You've gotta hammer that home
in your speech.
145
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:42,170
If you swing Texas
and Aaron swings Florida...
146
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:45,381
- We've got a shot.
- More than a shot, hon.
147
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:46,465
You win.
148
00:07:47,091 --> 00:07:48,091
[chuckles]
149
00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:51,596
Why is she refusing to take her pain meds?
Put her on the phone.
150
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:54,932
Hey.
151
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:56,434
Mom, what's going on?
152
00:07:57,018 --> 00:07:59,437
You know what a fog
that medication puts me in.
153
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,606
Yes, a relatively painless one.
154
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:05,485
I wanna be clear-headed tonight
when you get home, so we can talk.
155
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:10,907
- Uh... I'm coming home now.
- No, don't.
156
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,660
- You have work to do.
- If you don't take your meds,
157
00:08:14,744 --> 00:08:17,788
- I have to come home right now.
- For Pete's sake.
158
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:22,960
It's nothing earth-shattering.
I just wanna be lucid for once.
159
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:25,087
Maybe beat you at Jeopardy.
160
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:27,673
I'll take the damn pills.
161
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,345
- You promise?
- Yes. Have a good day at work.
162
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:35,306
[exhales heavily]
163
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:45,316
I'll forward you the data analytics
from our impact investing initiative.
164
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:51,197
Hey. Look, I wanna apologize for Lorraine.
You don't have to go to Florida.
165
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,908
I know I don't. But I'm going anyway.
166
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:56,077
- Really?
- Not for you, pendejo.
167
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,161
I'm going for POTUS.
168
00:08:57,245 --> 00:09:00,957
Okay? There's no reason he should suffer
for your broken campaign promises.
169
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,917
- Isi, thank you, this...
- Listen to me.
170
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:05,145
- Here are the ground rules, okay?
- [Aaron] Yeah.
171
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,463
In public,
we're the world's happiest couple.
172
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,840
The second we're offstage,
you don't touch me,
173
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:12,426
you don't talk to me, you don't exist.
174
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:15,054
Fine, yeah, whatever you need. All right.
175
00:09:17,014 --> 00:09:21,435
- Is Emily going?
- No. No, her mom is close to the end.
176
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,439
Well, the last time her mother was dying,
she used it as an excuse to fuck you.
177
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:30,152
Great.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
178
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:33,197
- I'll... I'll see you at 8:30.
- Sorry.
179
00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:35,908
All right, sounds good.
Hey, do you know what I look like?
180
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:39,704
Oh, right, of course. [chuckles]
181
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:41,539
Uh, I'll see you then. Bye.
182
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:44,709
- A date?
- Uh, no.
183
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:47,169
That was my daughter's mother.
184
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:48,253
Stephanie's mom?
185
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:51,257
You're having dinner with the woman
who bought your sperm 21 years ago?
186
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:54,677
- That'd be weird. We're having drinks.
- Okay. Is Stephanie gonna be there?
187
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,471
No. I haven't heard from her
since before the debates.
188
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:01,809
Oh, can you believe this Brunton thing?
189
00:10:03,144 --> 00:10:04,604
Moss had to know about it.
190
00:10:05,229 --> 00:10:08,399
...despicable, last-ditch effort
of the failing Kirkman campaign
191
00:10:08,482 --> 00:10:12,903
to win the election the only way he can,
by fabricating wild conspiracies.
192
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,196
Fuck off.
193
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,842
I can't believe he's trying to spin
Kirkman into this. The craziest thing...
194
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:19,577
- You slept with Aaron?
- What?
195
00:10:20,411 --> 00:10:23,456
- What is that? Some Lorraine gossip?
- Isabel told me.
196
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:27,001
- Oh, my God. She's telling everyone?
- I'm the only one she told.
197
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:31,756
- What, are you two, like, besties now?
- Em. Why'd you do it?
198
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:35,092
[sighs] Look, it's not an excuse,
199
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:38,387
but that was one of the worst days
of my life.
200
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:41,891
I had just found out
that my mom's cancer had spread
201
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:45,895
and that she wanted
to kill herself, and...
202
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:53,069
in the moment, there were no consequences
because it felt like the end of the world.
203
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,552
- The bioweapon isn't what we thought.
- [Dianne] What are you talking about?
204
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:04,205
I finished sequencing the genetic code
Momberg uploaded before he killed himself.
205
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,624
The virus wasn't designed
to kill people of color?
206
00:11:06,707 --> 00:11:07,707
No, not to kill them.
207
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:10,169
What does it do?
208
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:13,130
In some ways,
something even more insidious.
209
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:15,174
Mass sterilization?
210
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,069
That appears to have been
the intended outcome.
211
00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:20,471
The bioweaponized flu was going to be
introduced into populations
212
00:11:20,554 --> 00:11:22,473
with high minority growth rates.
213
00:11:22,556 --> 00:11:25,309
Large swaths of the population
would become infected,
214
00:11:25,393 --> 00:11:26,473
but then they'd get better.
215
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,688
What would be undetectable was that
it had been genetically sequenced
216
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:32,024
to sterilize its minority hosts.
217
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:35,111
So this is a long-term plan to change
the demographic of the electorate.
218
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:36,737
Engineered voter suppression.
219
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:39,865
But, wait, if they're playing
the long game,
220
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:41,784
this would have no effect on the election.
221
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,702
Which means Moss would have no motive.
222
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:46,914
Just the legacy of protecting
the political landscape of the country.
223
00:11:46,997 --> 00:11:49,375
Sir, the American people
have a right to be told about this.
224
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:52,169
If we release this now,
it'd just be considered a political ploy.
225
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:54,893
No one would believe it.
Hell, I'm having a hard time believing it.
226
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:57,216
Don't forget, the genetic code
was briefly on the Web.
227
00:11:57,299 --> 00:12:00,719
If we're lucky, it was downloaded
out of scientific curiosity
228
00:12:00,803 --> 00:12:02,721
of a non-genocidal persuasion.
229
00:12:03,931 --> 00:12:06,851
Regardless,
the news is going to get out. Soon.
230
00:12:09,186 --> 00:12:12,773
And I stress, the weaponized virus
was never released.
231
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:14,984
We are now past the incubation period
232
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:17,987
and there are no reported cases
of infection, meaning,
233
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:21,657
thankfully, for those of us in
the non-pigmentally challenged category,
234
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:24,827
- no cases of sterilization. Questions?
- [reporters clamoring]
235
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:28,372
Seth, if the technology is out there,
the threat still exists.
236
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:31,083
Of course, along with every other
known threat to humanity,
237
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,727
most of which are available on the Web.
238
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:36,338
We're monitoring the situation closely.
Woe to anyone who tries to use it.
239
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:39,383
- Dennis.
- Is there evidence that Moss is involved?
240
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,187
Let me answer that question
with a question.
241
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:42,612
Did Phil Brunton have the resources
242
00:12:42,636 --> 00:12:44,638
to pull off something
of this magnitude alone?
243
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:47,600
Does the president believe Brunton
was working with an outside group?
244
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:49,723
As far as I know,
President Kirkman has no knowledge
245
00:12:49,768 --> 00:12:51,329
of any outside group
involved in the matter.
246
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:54,482
So he believes this was an inside job?
From within the Moss campaign?
247
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:56,150
As you know, the Hatch Act prevents me
248
00:12:56,233 --> 00:12:58,777
from commenting on matters
related to the campaign.
249
00:12:58,861 --> 00:13:00,088
I just want his gut reaction, Seth.
250
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:02,364
Does the president think
Moss was involved?
251
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:05,367
The engineer of Moss' domestic policy
has been arrested
252
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:08,245
for allegedly trying to end
democracy as we know it
253
00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:10,015
by tipping the demographics
of the electorate
254
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:13,584
in favor of Moss' party.
Do I really need to spell it out for you?
255
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:15,377
[clamoring]
256
00:13:16,504 --> 00:13:18,506
Nicely done!
257
00:13:19,006 --> 00:13:21,675
- I kinda got a lady chub.
- Oh, thank you.
258
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,762
They're shitting bricks
over at Moss' campaign headquarters.
259
00:13:24,845 --> 00:13:26,388
I just finished. How do you know that?
260
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:29,975
Yeah, so start preparing responses
to what Moss is gonna do next.
261
00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:31,477
He's gonna deny any involvement.
262
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:35,648
Yeah! So pull together any sound bites
of him praising his old friend Phil,
263
00:13:35,731 --> 00:13:37,209
'cause he's gonna act
like he doesn't know the guy.
264
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,793
Like he couldn't pick him
out of a lineup.
265
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:40,903
How could he claim that?
Phil was a senior advisor.
266
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:43,030
- He's...
- [Cornelius on TV] I can and I do
267
00:13:43,113 --> 00:13:46,283
unequivocally state
that I had no knowledge of,
268
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:50,162
or involvement in,
any plan to harm American citizens.
269
00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:52,331
- And while Mr. Brunton...
- Here we go.
270
00:13:52,414 --> 00:13:54,184
...must be presumed innocent
until proven guilty...
271
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:55,042
[Lorraine] Wait for it.
272
00:13:55,125 --> 00:13:57,586
...I have to say
that I didn't know him very well.
273
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,714
Oh, I wish I could stay
for the press-feeding frenzy,
274
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,091
but I've gotta leave for Texas.
275
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:06,303
Dontae! Ándale.
Air Force One ain't gonna wait for you.
276
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:08,889
- Dontae, do me a favor.
- Anything.
277
00:14:08,973 --> 00:14:11,517
- Keep an eye on Lorraine.
- Anything but that.
278
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,203
I know she has a mole
in the Moss campaign.
279
00:14:13,227 --> 00:14:15,020
Just keep your eyes and ears open.
280
00:14:18,482 --> 00:14:19,482
[sighs]
281
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:22,278
[Penny] It can refuel in mid-air
and it has a whole operating room.
282
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:25,573
It's packed with military defense systems
in case we're attacked.
283
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:29,618
Honey, Sasha might not wanna hear
about that stuff right before we fly.
284
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:33,122
Well, hello, ladies.
Don't you look fabulous.
285
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:36,125
I almost wore that exact same skirt.
I'm glad I didn't.
286
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:37,608
You would've won "Who Wore It Best"
287
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:40,838
- and I hate to lose at anything.
- Only reason I hired her.
288
00:14:40,921 --> 00:14:43,081
- Hey, can I steal you away for a second?
- [Tom] Yeah.
289
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:46,677
Sweetheart, after we take off,
maybe you can give Sasha the grand tour.
290
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:50,556
[sighs]
291
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:55,060
Tom! What is Sasha doing here?
292
00:14:55,144 --> 00:14:58,123
The favor of introducing me at the rally,
which you asked me to get her to do.
293
00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:00,774
Yeah, when we were scheduled
to appear in Manhattan.
294
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:04,194
- Houston is not Manhattan.
- It's also not the last century.
295
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:06,756
And how do you think the transgender issue
is gonna play down there?
296
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:09,533
For your edification, Houston leans
more liberal than conservative.
297
00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:10,868
Until you get to the suburbs.
298
00:15:10,951 --> 00:15:13,913
Please stop painting all Conservatives
with the same brush.
299
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,582
Barbara Bush came to understand
transgender issues,
300
00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:18,125
and she lived in Houston.
301
00:15:18,208 --> 00:15:22,046
Houston is the birthplace
of the anti-trans bathroom movement.
302
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:22,963
What do you want me to do?
303
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:25,317
March down there
and throw my sister-in-law off the plane?
304
00:15:25,341 --> 00:15:30,554
We're going to Moss' home turf to try
to turn his fellow Texans against him.
305
00:15:30,638 --> 00:15:35,726
Why, Tom? Why hand his base
something to attack back against?
306
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:39,855
We're getting ready to take off.
You should probably go find a seat.
307
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:47,905
Really?
308
00:15:47,988 --> 00:15:51,283
I swear I had nothing to do with this.
I told Lorraine we needed a two-bedroom.
309
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:53,953
If she thinks this is gonna lead
to a romcom ending,
310
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:57,164
- I've got a big spoiler alert for her.
- I'll just take the couch.
311
00:15:57,247 --> 00:15:59,333
- [cell phone ringing]
- Have fun.
312
00:16:03,587 --> 00:16:04,755
[speaking Spanish]
313
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,510
What? What's wrong?
314
00:16:10,552 --> 00:16:12,137
Are the tickets refundable?
315
00:16:13,138 --> 00:16:14,556
[mutters inaudibly]
316
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,934
No, Papi, of course we wanna see you.
317
00:16:17,017 --> 00:16:19,728
It's just... Aaron is booked solid
with appearances.
318
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:21,831
We would hate for you to come
all the way from Puerto Rico
319
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:24,608
and not have any time to spend with you.
320
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:27,569
Okay. Yeah, we'll work it out.
321
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:32,324
He can't wait to meet you either.
322
00:16:33,534 --> 00:16:35,869
Okay, have a safe flight.
[speaking Spanish]
323
00:16:35,953 --> 00:16:37,496
[Aaron sighs]
324
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:41,583
You haven't told your parents we broke up.
325
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:43,961
Hadn't gotten around to it yet.
326
00:16:44,044 --> 00:16:46,755
It's been a while.
Could've done it just now.
327
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:49,258
If only our relationship status
weren't state secret.
328
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:50,968
You tell your mother everything.
329
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:53,804
I tried to tell them.
330
00:16:53,887 --> 00:16:54,887
But?
331
00:16:57,349 --> 00:16:59,685
I kept putting it off
until I could do it without crying.
332
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:01,436
Excuse me.
333
00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:18,912
[Tom] I realized that I didn't even
ask you how you felt
334
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:21,373
about taking the stage
in Houston tomorrow.
335
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:23,125
Honestly? Nervous.
336
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:25,085
I should have told you
about the venue change,
337
00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:27,254
- and if you wanna back out...
- And excited.
338
00:17:27,796 --> 00:17:31,175
I mean, it's actually
a much bigger opportunity.
339
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:35,596
My intro will be all about you,
but just the fact of me doing it...
340
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:39,475
If I can normalize transgender
for even one person...
341
00:17:43,645 --> 00:17:44,645
Tom, what?
342
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:54,948
I need you to understand that, personally,
I am so proud that you would introduce me.
343
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,120
Go on.
344
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:04,291
But the election's in a few days,
and with this gift that I've been given,
345
00:18:04,374 --> 00:18:06,668
everything that's happening
in the Moss campaign,
346
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:08,796
I've actually got a shot
at winning this thing.
347
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:11,173
But, strategically...
348
00:18:14,551 --> 00:18:17,054
you're not the best person
to help me do that.
349
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:19,973
Sasha, I am so sorry.
350
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,228
But if we can win this election,
I can help change things.
351
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:26,230
I mean, in a really big way.
352
00:18:30,734 --> 00:18:31,985
I understand.
353
00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:44,540
Thank you.
354
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,125
[door closes]
355
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:51,463
[Emily] Hey, Mom.
356
00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:55,008
- Where's Tina?
- I sent her home.
357
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:57,970
You didn't take your pain meds.
358
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,348
[breath trembling]
359
00:19:02,724 --> 00:19:03,724
No.
360
00:19:06,687 --> 00:19:09,731
- No.
- Yeah. Tonight's the night.
361
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:14,444
Mom, please don't do this.
362
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:18,740
Come here, baby.
363
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:20,951
Come sit next to me.
364
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,120
Mom.
365
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:30,919
Oh, you know I love you, right?
366
00:19:33,463 --> 00:19:34,464
No.
367
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:36,925
You're gonna have to stick around a while
and convince me.
368
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,093
[Carrie chuckles]
369
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:42,848
No mother could ever be prouder.
370
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:48,395
I can leave this world knowing
I created something really special.
371
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:52,232
You're the best thing I ever did.
372
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:55,360
I just have one regret.
373
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:57,695
What?
374
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:01,575
That I gave you such an asshole
for a father.
375
00:20:01,658 --> 00:20:02,951
[laughing]
376
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:06,121
It's my bad.
377
00:20:09,082 --> 00:20:12,169
You more than made up for him.
378
00:20:14,796 --> 00:20:16,065
The election's only a few days away.
379
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:17,849
I thought you were gonna
hold on until after.
380
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:20,344
I know, baby. I tried.
381
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,180
But I can't.
382
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,729
I know what I'm asking you to do
seems awful.
383
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:36,276
But if I could choose how I wanted to go,
384
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,320
how I could die happy,
385
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:42,616
it would be peacefully,
386
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:46,453
in the arms of the one
I love the most in this world.
387
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:52,918
You are the only person on Earth
who can give me that.
388
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:04,680
[chuckles]
389
00:21:05,305 --> 00:21:07,349
Hey, something wrong?
390
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:10,811
At this moment, absolutely nothing.
391
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:15,899
I can't remember the last time I cried
because I was happy.
392
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:18,735
I don't know the exact date,
but it was definitely around
393
00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:21,947
one of my more spectacular
performances in bed.
394
00:21:22,030 --> 00:21:23,031
[both laughing]
395
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:30,163
Thank you for carving out time for me.
I know how crazed you are.
396
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:34,293
The madness of running the White House,
your extracurricular activities.
397
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:36,962
Oh.
398
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:40,674
I wasn't talking about that.
399
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:45,721
We have worked through that.
We've moved on.
400
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:49,933
By extracurricular activities,
401
00:21:50,017 --> 00:21:54,938
I was talking about the Big Pharma scandal
that you helped expose.
402
00:21:55,856 --> 00:21:57,983
You know, it's still claiming casualties.
403
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,277
I've heard Garrett Detwiler
has been asked to resign
404
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,155
from at least three boards he sits on.
405
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:07,701
There's a couch over there,
406
00:22:07,784 --> 00:22:10,287
but why don't we just go home
and celebrate?
407
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:11,913
Oh, yes, please.
408
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:30,682
[exhaling]
409
00:22:39,274 --> 00:22:40,484
[Carrie whimpering]
410
00:22:53,663 --> 00:22:54,663
[grunts]
411
00:23:08,303 --> 00:23:09,679
[groaning]
412
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,392
That's good.
413
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:18,688
I love you.
414
00:23:22,025 --> 00:23:23,652
Thank you, baby.
415
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,838
Excuse me.
416
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:45,202
- Can I have the bill, please? Thank you.
- [server] Sure.
417
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:48,844
[Riya] Seth?
418
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:53,056
- You can't be Riya.
- And yet I am. [chuckles]
419
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,308
You got here early.
420
00:23:55,392 --> 00:23:57,144
Uh, actually, you're...
421
00:23:57,227 --> 00:23:59,563
You're not what I had pictured.
422
00:24:00,147 --> 00:24:03,275
- What were you picturing?
- I don't know. My mom?
423
00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:05,402
I was way off.
424
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:09,531
Can you actually leave it open for me?
What can I get you?
425
00:24:09,614 --> 00:24:10,740
A Harvey Wallbanger.
426
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:12,159
- [server] You got it.
- [laughs]
427
00:24:12,242 --> 00:24:15,203
- Sorry, I thought you were joking.
- No, you have Stephanie's laugh.
428
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,455
Well, actually,
she would have my laugh, right?
429
00:24:17,539 --> 00:24:19,457
Oh, man, she inherited my laugh.
430
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,334
When she hears something silly.
431
00:24:21,418 --> 00:24:24,171
I'll have to make her laugh, then.
Presuming I see her again.
432
00:24:24,254 --> 00:24:28,175
She's been so busy at college.
It's her senior year, you know.
433
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:29,885
She'll be graduating summa cum laude.
434
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:33,305
Hey, I graduated summa cum laude,
at Harvard.
435
00:24:33,388 --> 00:24:35,140
Sorry, people always make fun of me
436
00:24:35,223 --> 00:24:36,659
for slipping in the fact
that I went to Harvard.
437
00:24:36,683 --> 00:24:38,226
Don't apologize.
438
00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:41,271
Harvard is the reason I chose your sperm.
439
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:43,583
- That's what they all say. Just kidding.
- [both laughing]
440
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:45,650
It's one of the law schools
Stephanie's applied to.
441
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:47,569
- She's going to law school?
- If she gets in.
442
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:48,528
Why wouldn't she?
443
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:51,698
She's got the grades
and the extracurriculars, but nowadays,
444
00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:54,576
you have to pack that application
with stuff that really stands out.
445
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:00,832
Does the White House have internships?
446
00:25:01,416 --> 00:25:03,501
Yeah, the application's on the website.
447
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:07,297
I assume those spots go to people
who have connections.
448
00:25:16,765 --> 00:25:18,642
[crying]
449
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:26,858
[Carrie groans]
450
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:29,653
Mom?
451
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,822
Mom, can you hear me?
452
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:36,409
Mom?
453
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:46,520
[operator over phone] 911.
What's your emergency?
454
00:25:46,544 --> 00:25:50,173
[sobbing] I need an ambulance.
I need an ambulance.
455
00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:51,258
Oh, my God!
456
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:53,842
Mom.
457
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:03,019
[machine beeping]
458
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:10,333
Barbiturate OD. Patient is unresponsive.
459
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,445
I need bemegride and IV naloxone.
460
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:15,740
Get me a DN tube, blood glucose
and activated carbon.
461
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:19,411
When we're ready and on my count.
One, two, three.
462
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:23,540
- Do we know exactly what she took?
- Daughter says pentobarbital.
463
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:26,482
- [machine beeping rapidly]
- [doctor] She's gone into V-fib.
464
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,171
Does your mother have a DNR?
465
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,172
Can you just save her?
466
00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:32,936
Do you know if she has advanced directive?
467
00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:35,176
You're a doctor. You took an oath!
468
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,488
- Can you please just save her?
- Miss, I need an answer.
469
00:26:37,512 --> 00:26:40,352
- [Emily] I don't know what I did to her!
- Does your mother have a DNR?
470
00:26:43,018 --> 00:26:45,437
[sobbing] Yes, she does.
471
00:26:47,564 --> 00:26:49,190
[flatlining]
472
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:50,650
[sobbing]
473
00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:54,863
I'm so sorry, Mom.
474
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:03,663
[reporter on TV] You're watching DC One.
475
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,665
Ted from Saratoga Springs.
476
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:08,811
[Ted] I just wanna thank President Kirkman
for stopping the attack on our democracy.
477
00:27:08,835 --> 00:27:09,875
[reporter] Bill from Ohio.
478
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:11,564
[Bill] You know who had the power
to orchestrate it?
479
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:13,268
That illegitimate
son-of-a-prick Kirkman...
480
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:16,468
[reporter] Bill, language.
Ramona from Baton Rouge.
481
00:27:16,551 --> 00:27:18,595
[Ramona] Before I vote again
for President Moss,
482
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:20,805
I need to know if he's wrapped up
in this mess or not.
483
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:22,769
- The American people have a...
- [line ringing]
484
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:26,704
- [Rachelle over cell phone] Hello?
- Are you watching DC One?
485
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:29,314
Mr. President, it's 4:00 a.m.
486
00:27:29,397 --> 00:27:31,399
Nobody's watching DC One right now.
487
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:33,401
I know you're gonna
stand by your legal advice
488
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:36,696
for me to stay out of the investigation,
but I think it's ridiculous
489
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,699
that the only information I'm getting
on it is coming from cable news.
490
00:27:39,783 --> 00:27:41,826
I need to know
whether Moss was involved or not.
491
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:45,205
You're right, sir.
I do stand by my advice.
492
00:27:46,373 --> 00:27:48,792
- Let me walk you through it.
- You don't need to. I get it.
493
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:53,046
As a candidate, I could appear unethical,
possibly even corrupt.
494
00:27:53,129 --> 00:27:56,758
But as president of the United States,
I feel I'm being negligent,
495
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:59,135
and I'm having a difficult time
reconciling the two.
496
00:27:59,219 --> 00:28:01,679
Sir, have faith in the FBI.
497
00:28:02,472 --> 00:28:04,057
And for God's sake, get some sleep.
498
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:06,226
[sighs]
499
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,770
I wish I could.
500
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:09,687
[all laughing]
501
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:12,148
That was nothing compared
to the time she met the Pope.
502
00:28:12,232 --> 00:28:13,233
Ay, Mama, no.
503
00:28:13,316 --> 00:28:15,527
- [Aaron] Wait, you met the Pope?
- She threw up on him.
504
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:17,112
I was one.
505
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:19,823
The Pope's first and last visit
to Puerto Rico.
506
00:28:19,906 --> 00:28:21,175
- [Aaron] Look...
- Projectile vomit.
507
00:28:21,199 --> 00:28:23,344
She did exactly the same thing
when she met the president.
508
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:25,912
- [gasps]
- [Rafael and Camila laughing]
509
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:29,666
So when exactly do you two
move into the Naval Observatory?
510
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:33,771
You do know that's where
the vice president lives?
511
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:35,755
Okay, let's not count our chickens.
512
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,049
I've been checking pictures online,
513
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:41,386
and there's a room
that would make a perfect nursery,
514
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:44,180
should any babies appear
in the next four years.
515
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:47,767
Well, if Moss' bioterror attack
had succeeded,
516
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:50,019
there'd be no Latino babies
appearing anywhere.
517
00:28:50,103 --> 00:28:52,188
So Moss was behind it?
518
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:55,775
- Well, we don't know that.
- He hired Phil Brunton as policymaker.
519
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:57,485
His policy is genocide.
520
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:59,112
Will people still vote for Moss?
521
00:28:59,195 --> 00:29:00,864
Sadly, his base will.
522
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:06,578
But I think that people who've lost touch
with the importance of their heritage...
523
00:29:07,203 --> 00:29:09,372
I am ashamed to admit
I may have been one of them
524
00:29:09,456 --> 00:29:10,874
before I met your daughter.
525
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,334
I think now they're opening their eyes.
526
00:29:13,418 --> 00:29:17,380
They're realizing that people
who just regard us as the other group
527
00:29:17,464 --> 00:29:20,300
and not as fellow Americans,
they just don't deserve our vote.
528
00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:23,218
Amen.
529
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:26,806
You'd certainly have our vote,
if we could vote.
530
00:29:26,890 --> 00:29:30,393
Puerto Ricans have been US citizens
for the past 100 years,
531
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:31,519
but we still can't vote.
532
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:33,897
The government takes our money
but not our ballot.
533
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:36,180
It's one of the greatest failings
of our current system,
534
00:29:36,232 --> 00:29:38,193
and one I promise not to forget if we win.
535
00:29:41,696 --> 00:29:42,697
We are late.
536
00:29:43,656 --> 00:29:46,075
Aaron needs to go win over some people
who actually can vote.
537
00:29:48,411 --> 00:29:51,131
- It was such a pleasure meeting you.
- It was wonderful to meet you.
538
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:55,376
- I am mortified.
- About what?
539
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:59,589
- I had no idea my mom had contacted you.
- It was great. Your mother's great.
540
00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:01,883
How are you? Here, have a seat.
541
00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:05,427
Um...
542
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:09,015
I just wanted to apologize in person.
543
00:30:09,098 --> 00:30:11,726
Stephanie, you don't owe me an apology.
You don't owe me anything.
544
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,812
I owe you two apologies.
545
00:30:13,895 --> 00:30:15,855
I was a total jerk for ghosting you.
546
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:19,234
No, your mother mentioned
how busy college has been keeping you.
547
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:21,694
It is, but that wasn't the reason.
548
00:30:21,778 --> 00:30:24,948
- You don't have to...
- My parents got divorced last year.
549
00:30:25,907 --> 00:30:28,910
It's not like I was five,
but I took it really hard.
550
00:30:29,911 --> 00:30:31,996
I took a DNA test out of spite.
551
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,333
Out of some silly fantasy
that they weren't my real parents.
552
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:40,255
I didn't ever think
that I'd be half right.
553
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:42,924
Oh, my God.
What a terrible way to find out.
554
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:45,510
- They never told you?
- Nope. It was a head trip.
555
00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:48,239
Then I clicked to see
if you were in the database,
556
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,265
again, never dreaming that you would be,
557
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:52,809
but you were.
558
00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:57,480
And then you wrote to me,
never dreaming that I'd answer.
559
00:30:58,606 --> 00:31:00,066
But I did.
560
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:03,903
I had a small freak-out
after every one of those steps.
561
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,366
The last one resulted in radio silence.
562
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:13,288
I'm really sorry
that I dragged you into this.
563
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:14,497
It wasn't fair to you.
564
00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:18,918
This is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
565
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:21,713
[chuckles]
566
00:31:21,796 --> 00:31:24,841
And you really should fill out
that White House internship application.
567
00:31:24,924 --> 00:31:26,175
You have connections.
568
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:28,136
You don't need
to do that for me, seriously.
569
00:31:28,219 --> 00:31:30,138
The White House would be
lucky to have you.
570
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:34,726
That would be amazing. Thank you.
571
00:31:35,476 --> 00:31:36,477
Oh.
572
00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:44,986
- Be right with you, Mars.
- Take your time, Garrett.
573
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:47,780
I appreciate you
squeezing me in like this.
574
00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:49,383
[Detwiler] If you're looking
for a donation,
575
00:31:49,407 --> 00:31:50,927
I'm already backing another candidate.
576
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:53,077
No, I'm not here to ask for anything.
577
00:31:53,161 --> 00:31:54,597
Are you here on behalf of the president?
578
00:31:54,621 --> 00:31:56,080
Nope. It's personal.
579
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:58,416
[Detwiler] Well,
those are my only two guesses.
580
00:31:58,499 --> 00:31:59,542
Why do you need to see me?
581
00:32:01,502 --> 00:32:04,088
I wanted to tell you
what a piece of shit you are.
582
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:05,965
Excuse me?
583
00:32:06,049 --> 00:32:08,760
And to gloat about the fact
that you've been kicked off
584
00:32:08,843 --> 00:32:11,179
the board of FlagKind,
and the board of directors...
585
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:14,641
If you think I give a flying piss
about stepping down from a few boards,
586
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:16,643
you're even more insane
than you look right now.
587
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:19,395
Do you remember that exposé
about your corrupt practices
588
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:22,649
- when you were FDA commissioner?
- Thanks for stopping by, Mars.
589
00:32:22,732 --> 00:32:26,361
I wanted to let you know
that it was me who exposed you.
590
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:30,573
Gotcha.
591
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:39,666
How's your addict wife, Mars? Hmm?
592
00:32:41,709 --> 00:32:43,878
That's what this is all about, right?
593
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,798
I read she went into rehab.
594
00:32:48,883 --> 00:32:51,386
Because of a drug that never
should've been on the market,
595
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:53,554
because you pushed it through.
596
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:56,891
It's easier to blame me
than your pathetic junkie wife, isn't it?
597
00:32:56,975 --> 00:33:00,895
You should be in jail because of your part
in the opioid crisis.
598
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:03,982
Well, that's never gonna happen, Mars.
599
00:33:05,441 --> 00:33:07,068
Now, get out.
600
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:16,995
And I do have to know, though,
since you are Moss' biggest donor,
601
00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:19,038
was he part of the bioterror plot?
602
00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:20,999
What kind of question is that?
603
00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:24,836
- Yeah, you get out of my office!
- Okay.
604
00:33:26,295 --> 00:33:27,880
[agent] Step away from the computer.
605
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:30,633
- [Mars] What's going on?
- Sir, we need you to clear the area.
606
00:33:32,135 --> 00:33:34,262
What the hell is happening?
607
00:33:34,345 --> 00:33:35,930
They flipped Brunton.
608
00:33:36,014 --> 00:33:37,932
Detwiler funded the whole thing.
609
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:44,981
Garrett, if you can't afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you.
610
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:47,108
Asshole.
611
00:33:49,569 --> 00:33:53,322
And should anyone need reminding,
simply take a coin out of your pocket.
612
00:33:53,406 --> 00:33:55,241
The principle and de facto motto
613
00:33:55,324 --> 00:33:57,869
on which this great nation was built
is printed right there.
614
00:33:57,952 --> 00:34:00,872
E pluribus unum. Out of many, one.
615
00:34:00,955 --> 00:34:01,998
[crowd cheering]
616
00:34:02,081 --> 00:34:04,834
Black, white, Latino, Asian,
we are all immigrants,
617
00:34:04,917 --> 00:34:06,461
or descendants of immigrants,
618
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:08,463
and we are America!
619
00:34:09,255 --> 00:34:11,299
It's what made us
the greatest country on Earth,
620
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:13,634
and it is what will carry us
into the future.
621
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:17,096
God bless you, Houston.
God bless America.
622
00:34:17,180 --> 00:34:18,180
Thank you.
623
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:20,224
[crowd cheering]
624
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:26,481
You did great. I am so proud of you.
625
00:34:27,523 --> 00:34:29,817
What's wrong? Hey. Hey.
626
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:31,235
Did something happen?
627
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:33,654
I think Sasha should have been
out there with us.
628
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,282
- I can't believe you did that to her.
- Penny, I'm sorry.
629
00:34:36,365 --> 00:34:38,409
You know how proud I am
of your Aunt Sasha.
630
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:40,078
It doesn't look that way to me.
631
00:34:40,703 --> 00:34:43,581
- It looks like you're ashamed of her.
- Of course not. I...
632
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:48,169
I felt that some of the people here
might not give her a very warm reception.
633
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:50,338
Only because they don't know her.
634
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:53,800
They'd change their minds if they met her.
You didn't give them the chance.
635
00:34:53,883 --> 00:34:55,486
- Penny, please.
- [Lorraine] Humongous news...
636
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:57,678
- Can you just give us a minute?
- This is too good.
637
00:34:57,762 --> 00:35:00,223
- Detwiler was just arrested.
- That's Moss' biggest donor.
638
00:35:00,306 --> 00:35:01,626
Still think Moss wasn't involved?
639
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:04,519
Obviously, we're gonna add a topper
to your next remarks.
640
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:07,230
Ooh, I've gotta take this.
I'm gonna catch up with you.
641
00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:09,690
Come on, honey, let's go.
642
00:35:33,714 --> 00:35:35,776
[Myles] That's why this is gonna be
twice the normal price.
643
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,760
Myles, honestly, I'm good for it.
644
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:40,555
I will wire money into your account
tomorrow morning.
645
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:45,351
Is this Pegasus?
646
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:47,687
Actually, it's a good,
old-fashioned cell phone video
647
00:35:47,770 --> 00:35:49,647
taken from a hella pissed-off busboy.
648
00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:51,107
Unbelievable.
649
00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:54,485
This is worth more than everything
I've gotten from Pegasus put together.
650
00:35:54,569 --> 00:35:56,988
You could've saved me a bundle
if I'd known this was coming.
651
00:35:57,071 --> 00:35:59,490
- What will you do with it?
- Leak it to an outlet.
652
00:35:59,574 --> 00:36:02,702
Mother Jones, I think, seems good.
I gotta get back to Kirkman.
653
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:13,254
Mr. President. A word?
654
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:16,567
I've wanted to have a word with you
for quite some time.
655
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:18,843
The only thing I wanna hear
from you is an apology.
656
00:36:18,926 --> 00:36:21,053
And all I need from you is an explanation.
657
00:36:21,137 --> 00:36:22,930
Smear campaign is one thing.
658
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:25,641
You crossed a line when you accused me
of being a terrorist.
659
00:36:25,725 --> 00:36:27,268
- I haven't said that.
- No.
660
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:31,147
No, you took the chicken shit route
and had your spokesgirl say it for you.
661
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:34,650
Emily Rhodes hasn't released any statement
proclaiming your guilt or innocence.
662
00:36:34,734 --> 00:36:37,278
She's simply asking the questions
that everyone else is.
663
00:36:37,361 --> 00:36:39,530
The question that kept me up all night.
Were you?
664
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:41,216
You know goddamn well
I had nothing to do with it...
665
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,701
- I do not know that.
- Bullshit! You know me!
666
00:36:43,784 --> 00:36:46,204
I thought I did until you got into bed
with that racist,
667
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:48,164
hate-spewing ideologue, Phil Brunton.
668
00:36:48,247 --> 00:36:50,541
Phil Brunton was
a brilliant Ivy League kid
669
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:52,585
with his thumb
on the pulse of the heartland.
670
00:36:52,668 --> 00:36:54,337
I had no idea he had a screw loose.
671
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:57,048
What the hell happened to you?
I used to respect you.
672
00:36:57,131 --> 00:36:59,759
You used to be a thoughtful,
compassionate Conservative.
673
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:02,386
And how many of those unicorns
have you seen lately?
674
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:05,640
No, sir. I shifted right
when my constituents did.
675
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,892
And I think you've made
a gross miscalculation.
676
00:37:07,975 --> 00:37:10,037
The people you're pandering to
might be the most vocal,
677
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,741
but they're not the majority
of your party.
678
00:37:11,771 --> 00:37:14,106
Son, you are sadly out of step
with the times.
679
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:15,942
Well, Tuesday will tell.
680
00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:18,212
I've gone all-in for what I think
is right for the heart
681
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,421
and majority of this country...
682
00:37:19,445 --> 00:37:21,697
Save the saccharine
for the yahoos at your next stop,
683
00:37:21,781 --> 00:37:24,158
and, please, don't stand there and tell me
684
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:27,245
that you aren't flagrantly pandering
to the far left.
685
00:37:27,328 --> 00:37:30,498
- Picking Aaron Shore as your VP?
- He was the best candidate.
686
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:34,210
You know, when you came out with
the announcement about your running mate,
687
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:36,146
I said, "That boy has learned
to play the game."
688
00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:38,256
God damn it, Cornelius.
This is not a game.
689
00:37:38,339 --> 00:37:39,757
Of course it is!
690
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:43,302
You hold yourself above politics,
691
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:47,348
but the truth is you're every bit
as much a politician as I am.
692
00:37:47,974 --> 00:37:49,976
God help me if that's true.
693
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:55,106
You know, I didn't think
you'd have the balls
694
00:37:55,189 --> 00:37:57,275
to pull your sister-in-law,
or whatever you call her,
695
00:37:57,358 --> 00:37:58,651
out of your programme.
696
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:01,404
Smart move.
697
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:31,475
[cell phone ringing]
698
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:42,278
Dontae, it's not a good time.
699
00:38:42,361 --> 00:38:43,946
[Dontae] Don't hang up.
You were right.
700
00:38:44,655 --> 00:38:46,907
Lorraine definitely has a mole
in Moss' campaign.
701
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:50,244
It's Moss' digital guy.
His name is Myles.
702
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,848
- Dontae, I'm sorry, I...
- This is way bigger than you thought.
703
00:38:52,872 --> 00:38:54,749
If I heard what I think I just heard,
704
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:57,960
the two of them are messing
with some seriously illegal shit.
705
00:38:58,044 --> 00:39:01,213
Like, beyond Watergate illegal.
706
00:39:01,297 --> 00:39:02,297
It's called Pegasus.
707
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,384
It's Israeli spy software
that lets you read text messages,
708
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,529
- track calls, collect passwords...
- Look, I'm sorry...
709
00:39:07,553 --> 00:39:11,265
...and remotely turn on a device
to record without the owner's knowledge.
710
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:14,643
This is tech that is only supposed to be
available to governments to combat terror.
711
00:39:14,727 --> 00:39:16,812
This is bad, Emily.
712
00:39:18,105 --> 00:39:19,857
End-of-the-road bad.
713
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:22,151
- Are you at the campaign office?
- No.
714
00:39:22,234 --> 00:39:23,234
Can you get there?
715
00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:25,446
I'm sorry, I can't.
716
00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:28,824
Before we get in tonight,
you have to get onto Lorraine's computer.
717
00:39:28,908 --> 00:39:30,826
See if she really has
the Pegasus software.
718
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:32,661
I don't know her password.
719
00:39:32,745 --> 00:39:34,080
Not to be ageist,
720
00:39:34,163 --> 00:39:36,683
but people of a certain age
tend to keep it written down nearby.
721
00:39:37,416 --> 00:39:39,269
I saw her read it from
a Post-it in her top drawer.
722
00:39:39,293 --> 00:39:42,004
- I can't...
- I'm not asking for me.
723
00:39:42,088 --> 00:39:43,214
It's for Kirkman.
724
00:39:44,131 --> 00:39:46,467
- Come on, you have to.
- [sobbing]
725
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:49,053
- Okay, I'll go. I'll go.
- Thank you.
726
00:39:49,136 --> 00:39:50,304
I gotta go.
727
00:39:54,433 --> 00:39:55,601
[sniffles]
728
00:39:56,644 --> 00:39:57,812
[exhales heavily]
729
00:40:01,649 --> 00:40:03,651
I'm only standing here today
730
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:07,238
because of this amazing woman
by my side, Isabel Pardo.
731
00:40:07,321 --> 00:40:09,573
[crowd cheering]
732
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:20,376
She has been my rock
since the very beginning of this journey.
733
00:40:21,627 --> 00:40:23,045
Thank you. Thank you, Isi.
734
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:26,173
[crowd continues cheering]
735
00:40:27,550 --> 00:40:28,550
Uh...
736
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:34,515
I know you have it ingrained in you
to vote blue or to vote red.
737
00:40:34,598 --> 00:40:36,559
But where has that gotten you?
738
00:40:37,476 --> 00:40:40,396
- Do you feel represented?
- [all] No!
739
00:40:40,479 --> 00:40:43,858
- Do you deserve to be represented? Yes.
- [all] Yes!
740
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:46,026
Then break the cycle.
741
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,903
Make a different choice.
742
00:40:47,987 --> 00:40:49,864
An Independent choice.
743
00:40:49,947 --> 00:40:51,991
Make history.
744
00:40:52,074 --> 00:40:58,372
Make this man
our first Latino vice president!
745
00:41:03,669 --> 00:41:05,212
[Aaron] Thank you.
746
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,886
You may have just won Florida.
747
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:13,053
I think you may have.
748
00:41:13,846 --> 00:41:17,349
Isi, we're pretty good at this, aren't we?
749
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:20,686
You wanna give it another shot?
750
00:41:22,104 --> 00:41:25,941
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
751
00:41:26,525 --> 00:41:28,611
- All right. Yeah.
- I gotta go find my parents.
752
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:31,322
Okay.
753
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:36,577
Holy hell.
754
00:41:38,412 --> 00:41:39,473
[Felix over phone] Harper's office.
755
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:41,697
Hey, Felix, pull up
the Mother Jones website for Harper.
756
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,502
Have him watch the video
in the lead story now.
757
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:50,216
Felix, get me POTUS.
758
00:41:50,299 --> 00:41:53,427
I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
759
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,596
I should have let you introduce me.
760
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:56,889
Easy to say now.
761
00:41:56,972 --> 00:41:59,099
[Tom] But I didn't realize how wrong I was
762
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:02,686
until someone
who I have absolutely no respect for
763
00:42:02,770 --> 00:42:04,313
told me I was just like him.
764
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:07,191
And he wasn't completely wrong.
765
00:42:07,858 --> 00:42:08,692
How so?
766
00:42:08,776 --> 00:42:12,071
What I did was
a purely calculated political move.
767
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:13,948
It wasn't something
that I thought was right.
768
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:17,409
And I didn't get into politics
to behave like a politician.
769
00:42:17,493 --> 00:42:20,120
I'm sorry. It'll never happen again.
770
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:24,124
I didn't enjoy playing
the gracefully suffering trans woman.
771
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:26,544
I promise not to do that again.
772
00:42:26,627 --> 00:42:28,587
- [cell phone ringing]
- Excuse me.
773
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:30,923
Yeah?
774
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:35,761
- [whispers] I'm sorry.
- We're cool.
775
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:37,763
Okay.
776
00:42:42,893 --> 00:42:43,978
I'll call you right back.
777
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:49,024
[Cornelius over video] The America
that everyone in this room
778
00:42:49,108 --> 00:42:50,818
knows and loves is changing.
779
00:42:50,901 --> 00:42:53,153
According to the latest census projection,
780
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:57,366
by 2045, this country
will become minority white.
781
00:42:57,449 --> 00:43:00,369
That means at some point before 2050,
782
00:43:00,452 --> 00:43:03,205
whites will account
for less than 50% of the population.
783
00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:04,665
And that will be up against
784
00:43:05,624 --> 00:43:07,334
25% Hispanics,
785
00:43:08,544 --> 00:43:11,380
15% blacks, 5% Asians
786
00:43:12,172 --> 00:43:15,092
and 7% your other multiracial populations.
787
00:43:15,175 --> 00:43:17,219
If things continue down this path,
788
00:43:17,303 --> 00:43:20,598
and if we fail
to persuade people otherwise,
789
00:43:20,681 --> 00:43:23,267
these numbers are going to favor
the other party.
790
00:43:24,184 --> 00:43:29,023
We are going to be voted out of office,
and we will lose our grip on power.
791
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:30,774
Son of a bitch!
792
00:43:30,858 --> 00:43:33,736
[Cornelius] Completely and forever.
793
00:43:33,819 --> 00:43:35,988
The question we have to ask ourselves is,
794
00:43:37,114 --> 00:43:39,450
"Is that the country you want to live in?"
795
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:41,327
[men] No.
796
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:50,586
Unbelievable.
797
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:14,568
You were right.
798
00:44:15,444 --> 00:44:17,071
- About what?
- Moss.
799
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:19,698
- Have you seen the Mother Jones video?
- No.
800
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:22,325
What?
801
00:44:34,588 --> 00:44:36,090
What are you gonna do?
802
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:49,103
[Emily] There's no Pegasus, Dontae.
803
00:44:54,191 --> 00:44:56,360
She probably wouldn't label it that.
804
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:59,154
[Tom] Even though they were unsuccessful,
make no mistake,
805
00:44:59,238 --> 00:45:01,031
our democracy was under attack.
806
00:45:04,076 --> 00:45:05,828
[Emily] Maybe his parents.
807
00:45:05,911 --> 00:45:08,831
With his connection
to Phil Brunton and Garrett Detwiler,
808
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:11,792
and now the release
of this incredibly offensive video...
809
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:13,877
[Emily] Poseidon.
810
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:17,047
Medusa.
811
00:45:20,134 --> 00:45:22,261
After hearing candidate Moss
in his own words,
812
00:45:22,344 --> 00:45:24,388
I was forced to draw my own conclusions,
813
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,599
and now it is time
for the American people to do the same.
814
00:45:29,143 --> 00:45:30,745
[Cornelius over recording]
God damn it, Garrett!
815
00:45:30,769 --> 00:45:32,604
What the fuck have you and Phil
done to me?
816
00:45:33,355 --> 00:45:36,650
Why would you do this despicable thing
behind my back?
817
00:45:36,733 --> 00:45:38,402
Why would you do it at all?
818
00:45:38,485 --> 00:45:39,695
Oh, my God.
819
00:45:39,778 --> 00:45:42,406
[man] You believe President Moss is guilty
of domestic terrorism?
820
00:45:43,866 --> 00:45:45,284
Yes, I do.
821
00:45:48,662 --> 00:45:50,372
Moss didn't know.
822
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:53,584
[theme music playing]
