into the Weddle case.
333
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,059
What happened to that DEA agent
334
00:17:30,182 --> 00:17:31,752
could have been avoided
if he had help.
335
00:17:31,917 --> 00:17:34,727
Let me help you. Let's figure
this out together. Come on.
336
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:46,171
Director Atwood.
Please, come in.
337
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:47,969
- Thank you, Wyatt.
- Mr. President.
338
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:52,707
- Take a seat.
- I'm fine, sir.
339
00:17:56,675 --> 00:17:59,246
It's been two days
since Nassar was found dead.
340
00:17:59,578 --> 00:18:02,457
I hope to God that you're coming
to me with some answers this time.
341
00:18:06,452 --> 00:18:07,590
I am, sir.
342
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:12,301
Majid Nassar was killed
by a lethal dose of a poison
343
00:18:12,858 --> 00:18:13,893
called thallium.
344
00:18:14,059 --> 00:18:15,470
It was mixed into his food.
345
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:17,301
Do we know who had access
to his food?
346
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:19,932
Yes, sir.
347
00:18:22,134 --> 00:18:24,580
- I did.
- I'm sorry. What did you say?
348
00:18:25,504 --> 00:18:26,812
I poisoned his food.
349
00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:28,817
Excuse me, Director.
350
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:30,579
I either misheard you
or you misspoke.
351
00:18:30,742 --> 00:18:32,050
No, you heard me
correctly.
352
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:35,681
I poisoned...
Majid Nassar.
353
00:18:37,683 --> 00:18:39,094
That doesn't make sense.
354
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:42,492
- Why would you do that?
- After speaking to him...
355
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:46,230
it was clear we wouldn't
get anything, ever.
356
00:18:46,992 --> 00:18:48,972
A man like that
doesn't deserve to live.
357
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:52,701
I did it for all those
that lost their lives at the Capitol.
358
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:57,444
I did it for my country...
and I did it for my family.
359
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,111
My son...
360
00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:04,179
My son should not have
to live in a world
361
00:19:04,309 --> 00:19:07,552
where evil like this
is allowed to exist.
362
00:19:07,779 --> 00:19:09,417
I acted alone...
363
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,788
and I would do it again,
no question.
364
00:19:12,618 --> 00:19:14,154
When the toxicology report comes in,
365
00:19:14,286 --> 00:19:15,924
it'll confirm
everything that I've said.
366
00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:18,959
I killed Majid Nassar.
367
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:24,739
Press the button, sir.
368
00:19:38,076 --> 00:19:40,147
Mr. President,
step away from the desk.
369
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:52,296
The toxicologist just
performed the spot test
370
00:19:52,457 --> 00:19:54,630
for thallium poisoning.
It was positive, sir.
371
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:56,636
There's no way Atwood
could have known it was thallium.
372
00:19:56,795 --> 00:19:58,934
- Not unless he did it.
- It doesn't make sense.
373
00:19:59,097 --> 00:20:01,304
You work your entire career,
build a perfect record,
374
00:20:01,466 --> 00:20:03,241
ascend to the position
of deputy director
375
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:04,711
and then throw it all away?
376
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:07,009
Nassar boasted about killing
nearly a thousand people.
377
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:10,483
Atwood knew most of them.
We all did. We saw people after 9/11
378
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:12,349
who wouldn't hurt a fly
screaming for blood.
379
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:13,748
Tragedy changes people.
380
00:20:13,912 --> 00:20:16,358
I understand all that.
It just doesn't feel right.
381
00:20:16,782 --> 00:20:19,422
I want someone to reach out to some
of Atwood's closest colleagues.
382
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:20,586
Inquire into
his state of mind.
383
00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:21,924
See if there's something
we're not being told.
384
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:23,566
I'll see who's closest
to Atwood at the bureau,
385
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:25,565
-arrange a meeting.
- Okay, let's do it.
386
00:20:26,124 --> 00:20:27,228
Sir, they need you in the COC.
387
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,168
They found a suspect
in the ricin case.
388
00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:31,606
JAY WHITAKER:
Walter Lynch, 44 years of age.
389
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:32,800
Worked as a truck driver.
390
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:34,774
Currently on state
disability insurance.
391
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:38,142
ATF and FBI apprehended him
at his home outside Scotts Bluff.
392
00:20:38,303 --> 00:20:40,249
ATF OFFICIAL: In his home,
we found evidence of ricin production
393
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:42,715
and a list of polling stations
across the country.
394
00:20:42,874 --> 00:20:44,512
Most are on his
former delivery routes.
395
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,485
We've notified the authorities
at these locations
396
00:20:46,645 --> 00:20:48,124
-to verify their safety.
- Do we have a motive?
397
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,588
Lynch had posted multiple
398
00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:51,718
anti-government messages
on social media.
399
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:54,656
His attack on the polls appears
to be consistent with his views.
400
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,959
Sir, I think we should make
an announcement right away.
401
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:59,762
The public should know
that the suspect's in custody,
402
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:02,132
there's no link to Nassar,
and it's safe to go to the polls.
403
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:04,137
ATF OFFICIAL: I'm afraid
we can't do that just yet, sir.
404
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:06,800
A search of Lynch's web activity
shows he's affiliated
405
00:21:06,965 --> 00:21:08,706
with a domestic,
anti-government militia
406
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:10,108
known as the Liberty Defenders.
407
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,840
JAY: Sixteen confirmed cells
throughout the West and Southwest.
408
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:14,782
Lynch urged other members
409
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,113
to spread ricin at polls
in their respective states.
410
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:19,051
So you're saying
the threat is not contained.
411
00:21:19,211 --> 00:21:20,918
Our field officers
need more time to be certain.
412
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:23,059
- How much more time?
- JAY: Worst-case scenario,
413
00:21:23,215 --> 00:21:24,922
72 hours to clear
all the militia members.
414
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:26,994
The election is tomorrow.
415
00:21:29,821 --> 00:21:31,767
And we can't say
with absolute certainty
416
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:33,961
that the polling stations
will be safe.
417
00:21:34,893 --> 00:21:37,066
(RADIO CHATTER)
418
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:41,435
Mr. President,
I have unfortunate news.
419
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,172
One of the poll workers
420
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:44,713
- Mindy Hesser...
- The schoolteacher.
421
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:46,508
She just died, sir.
422
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:54,224
Thank you, everyone. Excuse me.
423
00:21:57,215 --> 00:21:59,525
Jared. Thanks for coming.
424
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:01,154
- Seth Wright.
- Yeah, I know.
425
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,156
Never been invited
to the White House.
426
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:04,466
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
427
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:08,333
- I've dreamed of this place.
- Have a seat.
428
00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:11,069
I'm glad you like it...
429
00:22:11,596 --> 00:22:14,338
because if you ever sandbag
the president's teenage son again,
430
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:16,035
consider yourself
banned for life.
431
00:22:16,301 --> 00:22:17,075
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
432
00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:19,977
Easy! I was just
doing my job.
433
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,175
But if you want the story
gone, it's gone.
434
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,343
- It wasn't even mine to begin with.
- I know. Lisa Jordan
435
00:22:24,476 --> 00:22:26,456
killed the story and then your editor
slipped it onto you.
436
00:22:26,611 --> 00:22:28,147
Trust me, he's next
on my invite list.
437
00:22:28,313 --> 00:22:31,123
What are you talking about?
Lisa gave me the tip, not my editor.
438
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:32,484
- Lisa?
- Yeah.
439
00:22:32,651 --> 00:22:34,096
She said she couldn't run
with it herself,
440
00:22:34,152 --> 00:22:35,358
but thought
that someone should.
441
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:36,995
Look...
442
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:39,230
I know we didn't get off
on the right foot
443
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:40,870
but since I'm already here,
444
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:43,537
do you think you could show me
the bowling alley Truman built?
445
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:45,334
Get out of here, Jared.
446
00:22:57,275 --> 00:22:58,754
Hey. Where have you been?
I've been trying to reach you.
447
00:22:59,077 --> 00:23:01,079
- Find Atwood?
- No. Hang on.
448
00:23:01,179 --> 00:23:02,385
We'll talk in a minute.
449
00:23:02,881 --> 00:23:04,485
- Agent Wells.
- Yes, this is Aaron Shore,
450
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:06,128
President Kirkman's
Chief of Staff.
451
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:08,153
How can I help you, Mr. Shore?
452
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,163
I was wondering if you could stop
by the White House
453
00:23:10,322 --> 00:23:12,666
to discuss
a highly confidential, urgent matter.
454
00:23:13,091 --> 00:23:14,195
May I ask what
this is regarding?
455
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:17,206
The death of Majid Nassar.
456
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:30,478
No guarantees here.
We can't risk anymore innocent lives.
457
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:33,054
Yes, sir, but canceling
the election?
458
00:23:33,278 --> 00:23:34,256
Sir, without a Congress,
459
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:36,758
we can't meet budget deadlines
or raise a debt ceiling.
460
00:23:36,948 --> 00:23:38,689
- The economy...
- Takes second place to a body count.
461
00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:40,796
Sir, even if we postpone
the election, there's no guarantee
462
00:23:40,952 --> 00:23:42,590
there won't be another threat
or another attack.
463
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:44,256
I mean, at some point, we're
just gonna have to take a chance.
464
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:46,903
And what if more lives
are lost at the polls tomorrow?
465
00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:49,795
It takes one person
to poison a polling station.
466
00:23:50,028 --> 00:23:52,030
Thousands of people
could be infected.
467
00:23:54,232 --> 00:23:55,643
I'm sorry. I just can't do it.
468
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,646
Seth, gather the press.
I'll make the announcement myself.
469
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:01,876
- Your first press conference.
- Not exactly how I pictured it.
470
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,678
Sir, in the history
of the Republic,
471
00:24:03,842 --> 00:24:05,651
federal elections
have never been canceled,
472
00:24:05,811 --> 00:24:08,018
not by weather, war,
or threat of an attack.
473
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,956
Well, unfortunately,
we're living in a time of firsts.
474
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:15,921
- Could I have a moment, please?
- Sir.
475
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:21,001
- Hey.
- Hey. Um...
476
00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:24,138
The results came in.
477
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:28,178
Leo's waiting. He wants
to talk to you alone.
478
00:24:30,602 --> 00:24:32,980
- Did you look at them?
- No, I...
479
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,175
(SIGHS)
480
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:39,751
- I'm afraid I'm gonna lose him.
- Don't. Stop it.
481
00:24:47,686 --> 00:24:50,098
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
482
00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:54,362
- You haven't opened it.
- TOM: No.
483
00:24:56,795 --> 00:24:57,967
I don't need to.
484
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:02,502
I don't need a lab or genetics
to tell me what I already know.
485
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:04,375
What I've always known...
486
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:07,641
from the day you were born
and every day since.
487
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,452
Whatever it says in here...
isn't gonna change anything.
488
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:14,785
At least not for me.
489
00:25:15,614 --> 00:25:17,685
Leo, you will always
be my son.
490
00:25:18,817 --> 00:25:20,455
And I will always be
your father.
491
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:24,232
The only reason why I never talked
to you about this before,
492
00:25:24,389 --> 00:25:26,892
honestly,
is because it didn't matter to me.
493
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:31,397
But I never thought about how
it might matter to you...
494
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:35,243
and for that I was wrong.
And I'm sorry.
495
00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:38,280
So, this...
496
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:41,842
is for you...
to open or not.
497
00:25:42,173 --> 00:25:44,676
And whatever you choose
to do, I will respect.
498
00:25:46,111 --> 00:25:48,557
But, Leo, I need you to know
how much I love you.
499
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:56,327
I should finish
my homework.

00:25:58,723 --> 00:25:59,827
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
501
00:26:08,199 --> 00:26:10,076
PUNDIT 1: (ON TV) How else do you
plan to stand up to terrorists?
502
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:11,339
PUNDIT 2: Wouldn't it be better
to postpone the election
503
00:26:11,503 --> 00:26:13,540
until the polls can be
properly secured?
504
00:26:13,905 --> 00:26:15,282
That way,
we're not risking the lives
505
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,851
of the poll workers
and the voters.
506
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:19,718
We're now getting word
we're going to go live now
507
00:26:19,878 --> 00:26:21,687
to the woman whose mother,
Mindy Hesser,
508
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:23,917
was the first victim
of the ricin poisoning.
509
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,256
My mother volunteered
at the polls
510
00:26:26,418 --> 00:26:28,625
because she thought
everyone deserved to have a voice.
511
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:34,101
She said so many people sacrificed
their lives for that ideal.
512
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:37,070
The least she could do was help
elections run smoothly.
513
00:26:37,228 --> 00:26:38,104
(SNIFFLING)
514
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:39,970
That's the kind
of person she was.
515
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,936
I wish more of us
were like her. Sorry.
516
00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:47,110
Should just be
a couple of minutes.
517
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:49,115
That's what you said
45 minutes ago.
518
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:52,118
Yes, Natalie. I'll say it again
in another 45 if he's not here.
519
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:54,450
Ladies and gentlemen,
the President of the United States.
520
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:56,152
- Thank you, Seth.
- Thank you, sir.
521
00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:58,692
Please, be seated.
Good afternoon.
522
00:26:58,750 --> 00:26:59,558
REPORTERS: Good afternoon.
523
00:26:59,651 --> 00:27:00,959
As you already know,
524
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,429
some of our polling stations
in the Kansas City area
525
00:27:03,588 --> 00:27:05,966
have been the subject
of a bioterrorism attack.
526
00:27:06,491 --> 00:27:09,028
And even though our federal,
state, and local law officials
527
00:27:09,194 --> 00:27:12,004
are assuring us that
the polling stations will be safe,
528
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:15,177
understandably, many
Americans are still scared.
529
00:27:15,734 --> 00:27:18,112
Tragically, one of our
volunteer poll workers
530
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:21,113
lost their life during the attack.
Her name was Mindy Hesser.
531
00:27:21,673 --> 00:27:24,813
And as many of our poll workers
have declined to volunteer
532
00:27:24,976 --> 00:27:28,685
this election cycle for fear
of further attacks, Mindy showed up.
533
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,261
She set up her table,
updated her voting rolls,
534
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,860
as she has for nearly 23 years.
535
00:27:35,787 --> 00:27:39,496
Moments ago, I had the honor
of talking to Mindy's daughter,
536
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:43,131
and she told me
that no fear or uncertainty...
537
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:46,231
would have prevented her mother
from carrying out what she considered
538
00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:48,810
to be her most
important civic duty.
539
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:51,376
Protecting our right to vote.
540
00:27:53,371 --> 00:27:56,614
Many of my colleagues have advised me
to cancel these elections.
541
00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:01,284
But I have been inspired
by Mindy's actions.
542
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:05,192
So I have decided that these
elections will go forward as planned.
543
00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:07,489
(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
544
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:11,266
Tomorrow morning, I myself
will go to the polls
545
00:28:11,489 --> 00:28:15,335
alongside my fellow Americans,
and I will cast my ballot.
546
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:18,732
I believe we owe it to Mindy
and to every other American
547
00:28:18,897 --> 00:28:22,106
that has given their life
to protect our great democracy.
548
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:24,607
We cannot live in fear.
549
00:28:26,071 --> 00:28:28,108
We will not live in fear.
550
00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:34,680
Thank you.
And God bless America.
551
00:28:41,019 --> 00:28:43,693
Congratulations, sir. I understand
the election will go on as planned.
552
00:28:43,855 --> 00:28:45,630
- It was the right move, sir.
- Thank you.
553
00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:48,236
Unfortunately, that is not why
I asked you both here.
554
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:50,662
Earlier today,
at approximately 10:00 AM,
555
00:28:50,829 --> 00:28:53,241
Jason Atwood confessed
to the killing of Majid Nassar.
556
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:56,936
Wait, I'm sorry.
The deputy director of the FBI
557
00:28:57,102 --> 00:28:58,843
killed the world's
most wanted terrorist?
558
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,177
I'm afraid so.
559
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:02,846
During his confession to me,
he stated that he did not believe
560
00:29:03,007 --> 00:29:05,920
that Nassar was gonna provide us
with any useful information,
561
00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:08,318
and that on behalf of our fallen
at the Capitol Building,
562
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,188
he felt it his patriotic duty
to take Nassar's life.
563
00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:15,263
His patriotic duty? It's murder,
and a catastrophic failure
564
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:16,899
-of national security.
- I know, I know.
565
00:29:17,055 --> 00:29:19,092
And I have every intention
of investigating it,
566
00:29:19,257 --> 00:29:20,793
but right now, the case
is strictly classified
567
00:29:20,959 --> 00:29:23,405
under the jurisdiction
of Army CIC and the FBI.
568
00:29:23,728 --> 00:29:25,264
I have asked Aaron Shore
569
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,740
to interview some of Atwood's
closest colleagues.
570
00:29:27,999 --> 00:29:29,740
Hopefully, we can find out
something more.
571
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:31,710
Well, tomorrow's election
gives us a Congress.
572
00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:34,246
Then I can open up an independent
investigation to assist you.
573
00:29:34,405 --> 00:29:36,282
I'm not sure if the first act
of our new Congress
574
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:39,149
should be this investigation.
Surely there are more pressing issues
575
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:40,721
that we need to get on with.
576
00:29:44,015 --> 00:29:46,222
TOM: No, Peter, I think
the congresswoman is right.
577
00:29:47,018 --> 00:29:50,158
Our first priority should be
gaining the nation's trust.
578
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:51,960
Kimble, thank you.
579
00:29:53,725 --> 00:29:54,795
Seth?
580
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,370
Great speech by the president.
You did a final polish, right?
581
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:01,067
You know, we had a deal
and you broke it.
582
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,406
Next time you try
to be a Woodward,
583
00:30:03,568 --> 00:30:04,842
pick a better Bernstein
than Jared Abbott.
584
00:30:05,003 --> 00:30:07,415
Look, to be fair,
all I said...
585
00:30:08,139 --> 00:30:09,743
was that I wouldn't run
with the story and I didn't.
586
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:11,182
No, you just gave it
to somebody else.
587
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:15,017
Seth... come on.
Like it or not, it is news.
588
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:17,285
Maybe not to you,
but to millions of Americans
589
00:30:17,448 --> 00:30:19,689
about to cast their votes tomorrow,
the president's relationship
590
00:30:19,851 --> 00:30:21,888
with the truth
means something.
591
00:30:23,154 --> 00:30:26,135
I like you.
Seth, I really do.
592
00:30:27,025 --> 00:30:29,869
But asking me to choose
between you and the truth...
593
00:30:30,795 --> 00:30:34,106
will produce an outcome
that won't make either of us happy.
594
00:30:40,772 --> 00:30:41,773
(PHONE VIBRATES)
595
00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:53,893
AARON: Thank you for coming in
on such short notice.
596
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:57,194
How can I help you?
597
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,693
There's no easy way
to say this, but earlier today...
598
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:05,172
Director Atwood met
with the president. And he confessed
599
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:07,139
to assassinating
Majid Nassar.
600
00:31:07,298 --> 00:31:09,278
Now, he claims
to have used thallium...
601
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:10,708
- No.
-...to poison Nassar.
602
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:12,143
That's not possible.
603
00:31:13,638 --> 00:31:17,085
This is a shock to everyone, which is
why I wanted to speak with you
604
00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:19,449
to see if you've noticed anything
out of the ordinary,
605
00:31:19,677 --> 00:31:20,985
recent life changes.
606
00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:25,550
Has he said anything unusual?
Anything suspicious in the past week?
607
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:28,992
Agent Wells?
608
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:32,901
- Sorry. I...
- I can understand
609
00:31:32,991 --> 00:31:34,197
this is overwhelming,
610
00:31:34,259 --> 00:31:35,567
but can you think of anything
611
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:38,668
that might help us understand
Atwood's murder of Nassar?
612
00:31:40,965 --> 00:31:42,137
No.
613
00:31:43,501 --> 00:31:44,980
- May I see him?
- I'm sorry, Agent Wells,
614
00:31:45,136 --> 00:31:48,083
but he is being held in
a maximum-security facility.
615
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,685
He's not allowed any visitors.
616
00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:54,221
Chuck, tell me you could
trace that text.
617
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:55,551
You know, there's only
a handful of people
618
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:56,853
in the global
intelligence community
619
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:57,916
capable of tracing a text.
620
00:31:58,082 --> 00:31:59,720
- And you're one of them, right?
- No.
621
00:31:59,884 --> 00:32:01,329
But luckily, I know someone
with the Mossad
622
00:32:01,486 --> 00:32:03,932
-who passed me an encryption key.
- So you can get a location?
623
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:06,894
It's not that easy.
624
00:32:13,865 --> 00:32:15,503
Instead, you'll have to settle
for a phone number.

President Kirkman will cast his vote

-at the polls tomorrow.
- Secret Service is gonna let him go?

Thought you guys were supposed
to protect him.

their own ideas.

ANCHORWOMAN: ...as the country
prepares for election day,
630
00:32:33,017 --> 00:32:35,156
the question that seems to be
on everyone's mind...
631
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,962
You know, my dad's called me everyday
since I joined the Secret Service...
632
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:42,869
just to make sure
I'm staying safe.
633
00:32:43,061 --> 00:32:45,803
Mike, I...
I know what you're doing.
634
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:49,407
You're trying to tell me,
no matter what, my dad cares.
635
00:32:49,901 --> 00:32:51,642
No, I'm telling you
about my dad.
636
00:32:53,237 --> 00:32:57,276
Taught me how to hoop...
and how to talk to girls.
637
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:01,147
He pretty much made me
who I am today.
638
00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:05,861
The funny thing is
I didn't know him till I was three.
639
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:13,795
That's when my mom married him.
I never met my biological father.
640
00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:20,569
Those tests...
they tell you biology.
641
00:33:21,032 --> 00:33:22,807
But they don't tell you
who your dad is.
642
00:33:25,436 --> 00:33:27,507
Don't stay up too late
watching the news.
643
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:30,485
Can't always trust
what you see.
644
00:33:47,125 --> 00:33:50,800
It's Wednesday, February 7th.
The day the president and our nation
645
00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:54,500
have been waiting for.
Beginning at 6:30 a.m. in the east,
646
00:33:54,665 --> 00:33:56,542
polls across the country
will be open.

00:33:56,667 --> 00:33:57,839
The question, of course,
648
00:33:58,002 --> 00:34:01,074
on everyone's mind,
"Are voters going to show up?"
649
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:02,943
Local police
and fire departments,
650
00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:04,609
-even the National Guard...
- You look beautiful.
651
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:06,449
...have been stationed
at polling stations
652
00:34:06,577 --> 00:34:08,022
across the country...
653
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:22,798
- Have you spoken to Leo?
- No, not a word.
654
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:26,071
I don't even know if he's opened
the test results yet.
655
00:34:26,597 --> 00:34:30,272
- You?
- No. He won't speak to me either.

When I was taking the oath of office,
you know, the only thing
657
00:34:35,473 --> 00:34:37,578
I was honestly
scared about...
658
00:34:38,309 --> 00:34:40,220
was what this could
possibly do to our family.

660
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:46,556
I could never have seen
this one coming.
661
00:34:46,884 --> 00:34:48,864
Well, whatever he decides...
662
00:34:50,121 --> 00:34:53,500
we've realized our new house
can't hold any secrets.
663
00:34:54,959 --> 00:34:55,960
Yeah.
664
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:06,270
Clear.

Maybe it'll pick up later.
667
00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:36,170
Yeah, you want to put money
on that?
668
00:35:37,735 --> 00:35:38,975
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
669
00:35:50,047 --> 00:35:52,789
Tom. I know that look.
670
00:35:54,385 --> 00:35:55,659
Come on, talk to me.
671
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,760
I took a vow...
to do everything in my power
672
00:35:58,923 --> 00:36:01,096
to lead this country back
after the bombing.
673
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:03,794
And I know we've had a few things
thrown at us, but if I can't even
674
00:36:03,961 --> 00:36:06,168
-get the American people to vote...
- You made a decision
675
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:09,709
to move forward with the elections
when most would have shied away.
676
00:36:09,867 --> 00:36:11,676
You made a commitment
that this country needed,
677
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,975
and now, we're finally
gonna have a Congress.
678
00:36:14,138 --> 00:36:16,084
What kind of a Congress
is that gonna be?
679
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:18,015
A House that represents
ten percent of the country
680
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:19,519
is no government at all.
681
00:36:20,344 --> 00:36:21,789
They call me
an illegitimate president.
682
00:36:21,913 --> 00:36:23,221
They'll call it
an illegitimate Congress,
683
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:26,624
-and they'd be right.
- Tom! They saw you go to the polls.
684
00:36:26,784 --> 00:36:28,730
They know that
they can trust you.
685
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,130
Don't they say that one vote
can make all the difference?
686
00:36:32,290 --> 00:36:33,428
You were there, also.
687
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:36,002
- That's two votes.
- Yeah.
688
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,833
Let's hope they don't cancel
each other out.

691
00:36:44,869 --> 00:36:46,280
I couldn't sleep
last night.
692
00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:50,585
I don't want this
in my room.
693
00:36:53,911 --> 00:36:56,755
- This is still sealed.
- I don't need to open it either.
694
00:36:58,616 --> 00:36:59,856
I know you're my dad.
695
00:37:01,452 --> 00:37:03,056
Come. Come here. Hey.
696
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:10,398
Thank you.
697
00:37:14,865 --> 00:37:17,675
Wow. He's definitely
my son.
698
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:21,913
- That's not even funny.
- Sir? They're waiting for you.
699
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:23,675
I'm sorry. What is it?
700
00:37:28,179 --> 00:37:29,783
Aaron, give me a second.
I'll be right in.
701
00:37:29,947 --> 00:37:31,085
Yes, sir.
702
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,277
ANCHORWOMAN: It's an unusual election
in American history.
703
00:37:51,435 --> 00:37:53,244
The ricin attack in Kansas City
has sent shock waves...
704
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:56,214
- Excuse me. Thank you.
- ...many voters are afraid to vote.
705
00:37:56,374 --> 00:37:58,149
But what was threatening
to be a light turnout
706
00:37:58,309 --> 00:38:01,882
is not so light after all. Voters
are lining up at the polling booths
707
00:38:02,046 --> 00:38:03,457
to make sure their votes
are counted.
708
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:06,458
When asked why they decided
to come out today, the majority said,
709
00:38:06,617 --> 00:38:08,688
"Because President Kirkman
went to vote."
710
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:10,398
They're voting,
Mr. President.
711
00:38:10,621 --> 00:38:12,225
They won't have complete
returns until later,
712
00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:14,529
but they're already calling it
a victory for democracy.
713
00:38:14,692 --> 00:38:15,830
Thank you, Seth.
714
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:19,234
Also, got a heads-up from DHS.
The joint task force followed through
715
00:38:19,397 --> 00:38:22,640
with remaining militia members.
They concluded there's no more ricin.
716
00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:24,577
Lynch was acting alone.
717
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:28,480
- Tomorrow, you'll have a Congress.
- A new government.
718
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,380
We'll still need a Cabinet
and a vice president
719
00:38:30,541 --> 00:38:32,543
-but we're working on it.
- TOM: We'll get there, Aaron.
720
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:37,757
- Any word on Atwood?
- I spoke to Agent Wells.
721
00:38:37,915 --> 00:38:40,088
She said nothing
to dispel his confessions.
722
00:38:40,384 --> 00:38:41,488
Okay.
723
00:38:43,220 --> 00:38:44,494
Seth?
724
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:47,303
There's something I need
you to do for me.
725
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:53,537
SETH: Mr. President,
Lisa Jordan.
726
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:58,738
I know you've been asking questions
about me and my son.
727
00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:03,878
I have your answer.
A definitive one.
728
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:09,057
A DNA test.
Margin of error, 0.01 percent.
729
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,388
About as certain
as you're gonna find in this world.
730
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:15,221
I am Leo's biological father.
731
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:17,824
I can't imagine it's
much of a story anymore,
732
00:39:17,988 --> 00:39:20,992
-but I wanted you to know the truth.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
733
00:39:22,393 --> 00:39:24,703
I assume I should
hand these back to my editor.
734
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:26,068
Not on my account.
735
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:29,401
I believe our country is only
as strong as our journalists.
736
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:31,642
I expect you to keep us honest.
737
00:39:32,770 --> 00:39:35,410
- Ms. Jordan. Thank you, Seth.
- Good night, sir.
738
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:39,020
So I guess we'll still
be working together.
739
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:44,218
Yes, but only working. I trusted you.
You took advantage of it.
740
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:53,201
- Thank you, Mr. Press Secretary.
- Thank you, Ms. Jordan.

I'm done talking to an anonymous

I don't intend
to meet you, ever.

which is why I'm here.
755
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:40,780
I wanted to let you know that
756
00:40:40,871 --> 00:40:42,509
if you do go ahead
with an investigation,
757
00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:44,311
it will be
without my support.
758
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:48,886
I admire your loyalty, Peter.
I just don't understand it.
759
00:40:49,613 --> 00:40:52,025
We both know Kirkman
can't get out of his own way.
760
00:40:52,183 --> 00:40:57,690
Whether it's his lack of experience
or the times we're in, he won't last.
761
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:02,395
Unless that's what
you're counting on.
762
00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:06,435
That when he goes down,
assuming you make it to VP,
763
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:09,109
you would be
the last man standing.
764
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:12,440
It's a brilliant path
to the White House.

I just can't believe
I didn't see it until now.
766

You got an overactive
imagination, Kimble.
767
00:41:19,343 --> 00:41:20,788
I don't think so.
768
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:24,421
