All language subtitles for Designated.Survivor.S01E11.DVDRip.X264-REWARD

NARRATOR: Previously
on Designated Survivor...

The Capitol's been attacked.
The Eagle is gone.

- MIKE RITTER: Congress, the cabinet.
- ALEX: Oh, oh, my God.

Sir, you are now the president.

TOM: I received
a highly-classified DOD file

detailing how to blow up
the Capitol.

I think there's a traitor
in the White House.

I had to put down everyone's name
who has security clearance.

EMILY RHODES:
Aaron's on this list.

HANNAH WELLS: The Capitol
blew up and everyone died

except,
Congressman Peter MacLeish.

He's in on it.

How does vice president
sound to you?

I would be honored.

This is exactly what
we've been working for.

- But at what cost?
- At any cost necessary.

HANNAH: Peter MacLeish
and the CIA's most wanted mercenary

were on the same mission.

- TOM: MacLeish isn't a war hero.
- He's a war criminal.

Hannah Wells, an FBI agent,

told me she had evidence
against Peter MacLeish.

HANNAH: Were you able to find
out about the key card?

It gives you access to Room 7
on the 8th floor of the PLC Building.

Proximity to the Capitol,
direct line of sight to the platform.

MALE VOICE: Congratulations,
Mr. Vice President.

They're gonna kill Kirkman.

(CROWD CHEERING)

AGENT: Gun!

(CROWD SCREAMING)

HANNAH: No!

Alex, you've been hit.

That's not my blood.

Oh, my God. (GROANS)

-(GRUNTING)
-(SCREAMING)

Help!

MALE VOICE:
They're on their way. Clear the hall!

MALE VOICE: Hallway clear!

I've got a GSW between
the left axilla and clavicle.

Patient is alert and oriented.

I got BP at 136/92, heart rate 114,
normal sinus rhythm,

normal sinus rhythm,
SPO2 at 98%.

One, two, three.

NURSE: Type and cross six units,
two large bore IVs wide-open.

And get portable X-ray in here.

Mr. President, we're gonna roll you
over for a moment if that's okay.

MALE VOICE:
Yeah, I'm going to get X-ray.

- MALE VOICE: It's okay, it's okay.
-(GRUNTS)

Right there. It could be a 30-caliber
or a Blackout, maybe even a 5.56.

It looks like it just missed
the scapula.

- And down.
-(GRUNTS)

ER DOCTOR: Mr. President,
we're gonna take some X-rays

-to rule out lung or vascular damage,
-(MONITOR BEEPING)

but it looks like the bullet
went straight through.

ER DOCTOR: Now, we're going
to clean and irrigate,

so bear with us.

NURSE: Deep breaths, Mr. President.
This will sting.

(EQUIPMENT BEEPING)

(SIREN BLARES)

NEWS REPORTER: The American people
somberly await the news

-if their president is alive or dead.
- I don't care what he told you.

I'm telling you take that crap
off your air right now.

It's not just irresponsible,
it's dangerous,

and nobody cares
about a correction after the fact.

You can speculate
from the outside looking in,

and if you keep it up, you can do
your standups from Guam.

Unbelievable.

What the hell is taking so long?

We should have heard
something by now.

- Emily.
- What?

Oh, my God.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Hey, hey, hey.
It's gonna be okay.

You don't know.
Nobody knows that.

No, no,
that, that's unacceptable.

I want a full report
from the agent in charge

every 15 minutes until the shooter
is in custody. Is that understood?

- Okay.
-(PHONE BEEPS)

The NSA, FBI, every local
law-enforcement

is on the hunt for the shooter.

Now, they think
he's in the metro area,

but that's like saying the needle's
somewhere in the haystack.

You okay?

We should get talking points

to the congressional leadership,
the USUN,

and the acting
cabinet secretaries.

That's all been taken care of.
Communications took charge of that.

Yeah, I'll make sure the accurate
information is out there.

- Alex?
- Mrs. Kirkman?

- How is he?
- We're waiting on the X-rays,

but it seems like
the bullet went in and out.

It didn't hit anything vital.

Um, I know he wants to see
all of you,

but if we could
please not overwhelm him.

(DOOR BUZZES)

FOERSTEL:
Don't worry. It's safe.

We got it from the cafe
down the street.

So...

you flee the scene
of an accident.

That's a felony hit-and-run.

You kill a man in Fredericksburg
who's an eyewitness.

That's gonna be manslaughter,
at the very least.

And then you show up
to the vice president's

swearing-in ceremony,
firing a gun and carrying this.

It's a key card to the building
where the shots came from.

That's conspiracy
to kill the president.

That's the death penalty.

Now, I want to believe that you
have good reasons for all of this,

but if you don't tell me
what they are,

I can't help you walk out of here.

I'm offering you a lifeline, Hannah.
Take it.

I've already made my statement.

I have nothing else to say.

It's a shame...

because someone is gonna waste away
in federal prison for this.

So you better think hard
about how you want this to play out,

because your options...

are about to get real small,
real fast.

-(MONITOR BEEPING)
-(GRUNTS)

Do we know who did this?

AARON SHORE: The FBl's combing
through surveillance footage, sir.

They're trying to get an l.D.

(KIRKMAN SIGHS)

TOM: We need to stabilize
the markets. They're gonna go crazy.

Trading is already closed
for the day.

And we'll keep a close eye
on the global markets tonight, sir.

I should make a statement
to the press.

Right, of course. (SIGHS)
Let the country know that I'm fine,

and I'll be back in the Oval Office
as soon as the doctors clear me.

Definitely, Mr. President.

- Make me proud.
- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.
- Yes, sir.

PETER: Oh, my God.

Yes, of course.
I just thank the Lord he's okay.

Yeah, I'll hold the fort down
on my end.

Okay.

Thank you for calling.

He's alive.

Bullet went straight through,
no lasting damage.

- How the hell does this happen?
- Just relax, all right?

We need to wash our hands
of this right now,

-before it gets back to us.
- Wash our hands of this?

Peter, blood doesn't wash out,
it stains,

which is why
we keep moving forward.

It's just a setback.

- And what if they catch Lozano?
- They won't.

He was trained for this.
So were you.

Brothers in arms, remember?

And the mission
didn't entirely fail, did it...

Mr. Vice President?

Hannah Wells? (SIGHS)

- That's who they have in custody?
- MIKE: Yes, sir.

I spoke with Director Foerstel,

and district police picked her up
in the proximity of the sniper.

Just after she discharged
her weapon.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Mike, I know you think
you have to be here with me...

but I'm gonna be fine.

What I really need you to do
is go down there

and talk to her
and find out what she knows.

It's the only chance we have

of finding out
what the hell is going on.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

I'm so, so sorry.

He's alive.
That's all that matters.

What is it?

I know this isn't
the right time,

but yesterday,
the president asked me

to look into a highly
classified situation.

- I know.
- Okay.

- Did you find anything?
- I think so. Um...

there was a call made
from the White House

to kill the report.

And that call came
from Aaron's office.

- What?
- I know.

I was trying to tell
the president,

but I couldn't get to him in time,
and I don't know what...

- What do I do?
- You need to keep Aaron away

from my husband, okay?

- Have you got that?
- Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Mr. President, I need to talk to you
about your latest CT scans, sir.

- Why? Is there a problem?
- Yes.

It shows several bullet fragments
lodged in your chest.

If one were to dislodge, it could
sever your aorta and prove fatal.

Sir, we need to operate
as soon as possible.

Okay. I understand.

- Thank you.
- We'll start prepping the OR.

Thank you, sir.

.L-ley-
.l-ley-

(SIGHS)

We need to talk.

TOM: It looks like I'm going to have
to go into surgery after all.

I'll be under general anesthetic
for at least three hours.

What's the protocol for that?

Well, sir, if you're unconscious,
that means you'll be incapable

to discharge your duties
as president.

So, we'll have to invoke
the 25th Amendment.

Okay, how do we do that?

AARON: We'll notify the
Speaker of the House,

and the president pro tem
of the Senate

through a signed
and written statement

that you'll be temporarily
vacating the office.

And Peter MacLeish
will be acting president.

I'll set up a call with you
and the VP immediately, sir.

No. I want to talk
to Speaker Hookstraten.

- Sir?
- Get Kimble here

as quickly as possible.

- EMILY: Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

- Hookstraten? What's that all about?
- I have no idea.

So, just a reminder,
the 25th Amendment

has been invoked
several times in the past.

Both Presidents Reagan and Bush
43 temporarily transferred power

to their vice presidents,
so this is not unprecedented.

- Yes, Gary?
- Do we know what the odds are

for a major surgery like this?
I mean, in terms of patient survival.

So, I'm not prepared
to answer that right now,

but the medical team is gonna
be briefing the press pool

after the successful completion
of President Kirkman's surgery.

Until then, I'll just be updating you
on an as-needed basis.

- Natalie?
- How are the president's spirits?

You know, all things considered,
he's doing well.

He's resting and focusing

on the business
of running the country.

Just a quick follow-up,
has the president

spoken
to vice president MacLeish yet?

If that hasn't already happened,
then it will be taking place

before President Kirkman
goes into surgery.

Sir?

Can I have the room, please?

- Mr. President, how are you feeling?
- Like I've been shot.

(CHUCKLES, GROANS)

Well, at least your sense of humor
is still intact.

(CHUCKLES)

Kimble, I'm gonna have to invoke
the 25th Amendment.

Which means that Peter MacLeish
will be president.

For how long?

I don't know.

We haven't always agreed
on everything,

but I've always felt that your heart
was in the right place.

I need you to keep an eye
on the vice president.

Make sure he's working
in the country's best interests,

not his own.

You understand what I'm saying?

I do, sir.

I'm counting on you.

I won't let you down,
Mr. President.

MIKE: Has she said anything
since we spoke?

JOHN: No, I'm afraid not.

I'd like to question her,
if it's all right.

You know, under any
other circumstances,

I'd have to say no.

But nothing about this
makes any sense.

- Maybe she'll talk to you.
- Thanks.

JOHN: Just so we're clear,

if she gives you anything,
you share it with me.

Good afternoon.

My name is Mike Ritter,
Secret Service.

I'm assigned to the president's
personal protection detail.

Yesterday you were brought
to the president's attention

by Speaker Hookstraten.

She said you claimed
to have had information

about Vice President MacLeish
before he was confirmed.

The president would like to know
what that information was.

Agent Wells,
you need to answer my question.

No, I don't.

- MIKE: And why is that?
- Because I don't know you.

And if the president wants answers,
I'll give them to one person.

The president himself.

Hey, come here.

I'm gonna be fine.
I don't want you to worry.

Mr. President, it's time, sir.

Sorry ma'am,
we need to take him now.

- FEMALE NURSE: IV wide open.
- MALE NURSE: Go ahead, set it up.

They're going to administer
the anesthetic.

NURSE". Then I'll ask you to please
countdown backwards from 100.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

One hundred... (SIGHS)

TOM: Ninety-nine...

Ninety-eight...

Ninety-seven...

Ninety-six...

The president is unconscious.

Sir, you're now the acting president
of the United States.

DOCTOR:
Number 4 dissector, please.

- Here, Doctor.
- Thank you.

SURGEON 1: Suction.

- SURGEON 2: More gauze.
- SURGEON 3: Gauze and forceps.

SURGEON 1: How's the drainage?

Right there. Good. Hold it.

(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)

BETH: It's a delicate surgery, Peter.

If he doesn't survive it, then
we have nothing to worry about.

- We are right back on track.
- Okay.

Well, Lozano is still out there.

FBI, Homeland. Someone must have
a lead on him by now.

Then, as acting president,

you can insist
they report directly to you.

If they catch him or get close,

you'll be right there
to issue your orders.

And what if the president
wakes up before then?

You've got at least a few hours.

- Make the most of them.
- Okay.

AARON: Sir...

you're needed inside...

HOW.

- I'll see you later.
- BETH: Yeah.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

All right, everyone, I need all eyes
and ears over here right now, please.

- Who's first?
- Mr. Vice President,

Asian markets are in free fall.
The Nikkei and Hang Seng

opened down almost 2,000 points

on reports
of the president's surgery.

We need the SEC to keep
stock markets closed tomorrow.

- Uh no, that's not a good idea.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President,

but even with circuit breaks in place
to halt market panic, just a 10% drop

will wipe billions
from people's accounts.

That's pensions
and 529 college funds.

And she's right, sir. What's lost

in hours, can take years to regain.

I understand, but you're talking
about market forces.

This isn't 2008.
Banks aren't failing.

PETER MACLEISH: It's psychology.
It's herd mentality.

If there is a sell-off,

then it's a buying opportunity
and the market bounces back.

We need to tell the world
that America is open for business.

Excuse me, sir,
the markets hate uncertainty.

You're just encouraging
panic selling.

Well, I think people
are comforted by routine.

If we act like we're panicked,
then opinion will follow.

- Okay, where are we with the shooter?
- A vehicle was reported stolen

from a parking garage two blocks
from the shooting site.

JAY WHITAKER:
District Police recovered

an image
from the lot's surveillance camera

and are trying to see if it matches
eyewitness description.

- Great.
- In the meantime,

we're coordinating our manhunt
from the CTOC...

No. Uh have CTOC coordinate

with command ops here
in the White House.

Sir, CTOC is perfectly capable
of handling an operation like that.

I know, but I have a responsibility
to protect this country,

and I don't want to be
doing that over the phone.

I want to be right here with you

when we find the monster
that tried to kill him.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

Who's next?

Agent Wells...

I've got an update for you.

I'm free to go?

Not exactly.

It's about your sit-down
with the president.

Great. When's he getting here?

Afraid it's not gonna
be that simple.

The president's undergoing
surgery right now.

- He had to invoke the 25th.
- The 25th?

Wait a minute.
Peter MacLeish is president?

Yeah.

MIKE: Hannah...

tell me what evidence you have
against Peter MacLeish.

(DOOR KNOCKING)

- Speaker Hookstraten to see you, sir.
- What can I do for you, Kimble?

You can tell me what the hell's
going on in your mind.

You know if you open
those markets tomorrow,

-it'll be a disaster.
- No, I don't.

And in case you've forgotten,

you're addressing the office
of the acting president.

You know Peter,

when you first arrived
in Congress, I thought you were...

well, ordinary.

Another first-termer
just happy to be there.

A man whose achievements
had far outstripped

even his own imagination.

But I realize now...

that I'd underestimated you.

Your drive, your ambition.

There's nothing ordinary
about you.

Well, thank you.
I appreciate you saying that.

Just know,
I'll be watching you.

Others may be distracted

by what's happening today,
but not me.

If I see anything out of step,

I'll take my suspicions straight
to the White House press corps.

- Are you threatening me?
- Absolutely...

sir.

(DOOR OPENING)

Excuse me, sir.
They found the shooter.

They're waiting for you
at Command Ops.

I'll be right there.

And, Kimble...
thanks for coming by.

Agent Wells, please.

What were you gonna tell the Speaker
about Peter MacLeish?

Does it have something
to do with...

with this man that you shot
outside Fredericksburg?

Or this guy? We...

we haven't found a name
for him yet.

We believe he's responsible
for shooting President Kirkman.

Do you know him?

Hannah?

Hannah?

MIKE: Agent Wells,
do you recognize this man?

All right.

MIKE: Can't say I didn't try.

You know, maybe FoersteVs
right about you.

Your paranoia
got the best of you.

(GRUNTS)

(HANNAH GRUNTING)

Get everyone in here now!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(HUSHED) Find Chuck Russink.
Ask about Catalan.

MALE VOICE:
Let him go! Let him go!

MALE VOICE:
Hey! That's it!

Get her out of here.

PETER: It's fine. Stay seated.
Thank you.

- PETER: Director.
- JAY: Sir, suspect was tracked

to a marine storage facility.
He's barricaded himself inside.

- Any other way out?
- No, sir.

DSAC REDDINGTON:
We've got him surrounded.

Suspect appears
to be highly trained

in evasive tactics
and combat skills.

Could be Special Forces,
or was at one time.

Give the order to apprehend.

Proceed with apprehension.

Excuse me?

It's standard
operating procedure, sir.

Deadly force
to be applied in defense,

but, in all other cases,
we take our suspects alive.

No, that's a mistake.

Sir?

There's no reason
to put good men at risk

trying to apprehend an assassin.

If anyone on the ground
gets this man in their sights,

I want him taken out.

- Hey, Mr. Vice President...
- It's my decision.

- Give the order.
- President Kirkman would have wanted

-to take him alive, sir.
- You don't know that.

- I believe I do.
- Okay.

He'll want answers to questions
only the shooter can give.

That's why we took Nassar alive.

I disagree.

Give the order.
Shoot to kill.

Prepare to execute.

- Prepare to execute.
- MALE VOICE: Copy that.

AGENT: Prepare to enter.

Mr. Vice President,

I'm advising against
this course of action,

-in the strongest of terms.
- Noted.

I have a duty, sir,
to you and the president...

And you've,
you've carried it out.

Give the order.

- Shoot to kill.
- DSAC REDDINGTON: Roger that.

- Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill.
- MALE VOICE: Roger. Shoot to kill.

AGENT: Open fire.
Execute, execute, execute.

(GUNFIRE)

(EXPLOSION)

MALE VOICE:
Targefs down. He's not moving.

Target neutralized.

DSAC REDDINGTON:
Stand by for confirmation.

- Target is neutralized.
- Roger that.

Target is neutralized.

REPORTER:
We're now over an hour

into President Kirkman's surgery,

and so far, no news seems
to be good news.

Meanwhile, well-wishers continue
to pour in from all over,

laying flowers, holding signs,

and praying for a swift
recovery of their president.

DOCTOR: Keep pressure down
in there, please.

(HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING)

- ALEX: Hey.
- TOM: Hey.

So, you won't believe this.

McKibben just told me that
Manhattan Children's Rights Fund

needs a new chief counsel.

And he's recommending me.

You're a warrior.
He knows it.

- So does every law firm in New York.
- No.

- How was your day?
- Interesting.

I got a job offer, too.

Don't tell me.

They want you to chair
the department.

No.

It was from the president.

- The president of what?
- The United States.

He wants me to come on
as HUD secretary.

(CHUCKLES)

- What?
- He said he was really taken

by my housing initiative
in Bedford Park

and that he thought his cabinet
could use fresh ideas like mine.

- Well, you said yes, right?
- No.

I wanted to talk to you about it.

What is there to talk about?

- Tom, you have to do this.
- It's politics.

I'd have to make speeches...

compromise.

I mean, I might even have
to stand behind something

I don't even believe in.

I'm an urban planner, an architect.
I'm not a politician.

Tom...

The President of the United States
is asking you to serve.

This is an opportunity
of a lifetime.

We'd have to move.

The kids would have to find
new schools, start over.

We all would.
This would really change our lives.

In ways that we
can't even imagine. Okay.

(CLEARS THROAT)
There are times to say no,

but this is not one of them.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Warriors, right?

Yeah.

Warriors.

Ma'am,
I thought you might need this.

Thank you, Seth.

- So, any news?
- No.

You should go.
You should go home.

And miss out on all this free coffee?
Come on.

Besides, I've still got to babysit
these reporters outside.

- Well, sit down and talk to me.
- Sure. About what?

Anything.

Apart from... you know.

(ALEX INHALING SHARPLY)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

- Do you have a girlfriend?
-(LAUGHS) No.

- Do you want one?
- Uh, not right now.

Why not?

Just doesn't seem like
it's a good time.

That's a terrible excuse.

You always need to make time
for the things that are important.

Ma'am, what I do is important.

But not if you're doing
it alone.

This is all my fault.

He didn't want the job at HUD.

I made him take it.
I was the ambitious one.

- And now, look.
- Ma'am...

you can't
blame yourself for that.

He's gonna be okay.

Chuck Russink.

I know you're inside.

- Who is it?
- Agent Mike Ritter, Secret Service.

CHUCK: What do you want?

I want to talk to you
about Hannah Wells.

I already told Director Foerstel
I don't know where she is.

That's not the problem.
We know where she is.

I'm interested in what she knows
about Peter MacLeish.

Anyone can get an l.D.
like that.

Why the hell should I open
the door for you?

Because if you don't,
I'll just kick it in.

Yeah, well, convince me.
Tell me why I should let you inside.

Catalan.

(DOOR UNLOCKING)

What?

Wells gave me a message.
She told me to ask you about Catalan.

Convinced now?

Yeah.

are speculating

to know what to cancel

This is a list of all the Kirkmans'
family and friends.

Please call them so they're
not hearing things from the TV.

- I'm also going to need com...
- Emily, I'm gonna need

-a word with you, please.
- One second.

We need comms
to draft talking points

for the switchboard
and the protocol office.

There are gonna be thousands
of phone calls

coming in today,
and we're gonna need them

to know what to tell people.
Okay? Thanks.

In here.

What is it?

You feel like telling me
what's going on?

What are you talking about?

I just got off the phone
with the White House archives.

They were asking me
if I had authorized you

to look at my personal phone logs
from two years ago.

All right, so, I'll ask again.
What's going on, Emily?

It must have been
a miscommunication.

Yeah, right.

Like the other day
when you told me

you were working late
because the president was having

second thoughts on his choice
for the HUD secretary?

Something the president
knew nothing about?

What, was that
miscommunication, too?

Talk to me, Emily.
What's going on?

I'm not at liberty
to discuss this. I'm sorry...

You're not at... What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

It means, I can't talk
about this with you.

- It is between me and the president.
- About me?

I'm not at liberty to discuss.

- Excuse me.
- Emily, wait.

- Are you investigating me?
- You should wait

to talk to the president
when he gets back.

I'm sorry.
I can't say any more.

We got to find the source,

CHUCK RUSSINK: Yeah.

That's Catalan.

He was in the same army
unit as Peter MacLeish.

That's what Hannah uncovered.

So, you're saying the Vice President
is linked to the man

who tried to assassinate
the president?

She got proof?

She had proof...

but it was stolen from her car.

Stolen?

You know, there's more out there

in some very classified files.

So I hope you really do work
for the president,

or we're wasting our time here.

Hang two units packed
red blood cells stat!

NURSE: Right away, doctor.

DOCTOR:
I need to clean the field.

(MONITOR BEEPS LOUDLY)

(MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY)

Vitals stabilizing.

(INHALES, EXHALES SHARPLY)

Okay.
He's out of the woods.

All right, let's close him up.

What are you doing out here?

It's quiet.

(SIGHS)

Kirkman still in surgery?

There was a complication,
but uh...

it looks
like he'll pull through.

So will we.

How the hell
can you be so sure of that?

Because he's got nothing on us.
Catalan is dead.

The evidence connecting you
and him doesn't exist anymore.

Breathe, Peter.

Everything is
being handled accordingly.

And what about Hookstraten?

What about her?

She's watching my every move.
She questioned me

when I forced the SEC
to keep the markets open.

- If she figures out why...
- She won't.

She might.

Nothing can touch us.
I told you that.

And if she's a problem,
we remove her, too.

So, how much longer
are they saying it's gonna be?

ALEX: They're not,
but they say he's doing fine.

But hopefully, they're gonna
be finished up soon.

Is Penny asleep?

LEO KIRKMAN: Only took
about two books and half a movie,

-but I got her down.
-(CHUCKLES) Which movie?

- The Revenant.
- What'?

LEO: I'm just kidding.

Just some
cartoon princess movie.

- It was painful.
-(CHUCKLES)

Well, you're the best.
Thank you so much, sweetie.

- I'm really proud of you.
- It was nothing.

I mean, we're all doing jobs
we weren't doing before, right?

LEO: Mom?

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.
-(DOOR OPENING)

Hey, I got to hang up.

The doctor's coming.
I'll call you right back, okay?

(HEART RATE MONITOR
BEEPING STEADILY)

Hey.

Hey, Tom.

(\NHISPERS) Honey.

(HEART RATE MONITOR
CONTINUES BEEPING)

Hey.

(TOM INHALING DEEPLY)

Hi.

NEWS REPORTER: As the world
waits for further word

on the president's condition,

all major indices
are continuing to plunge.

The Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P

are approaching
Black Monday-type losses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average
has already plunged

a staggering 2,000 points
in one day

after the shooting
of President Kirkman.

You better not be eating
my jello.

(LAUGHS)

It's my jello.
I earned it.

Good morning.

(CHUCKLES, EXHALES)

What did the doctors say?

They removed
all the bullet fragments,

and they say there
is no permanent damage.

Good.

Last night, I kept
hearing voices out in the hall.

Yeah. It was just people coming by
to see how you were.

How is the country reacting?

Tom, you don't need
to worry about that now.

I thought I heard something
about the markets.

Okay.
MacLeish opened the markets.

Wall Street's in a panic,
and stocks are plummeting.

Why the hell would he do that?

- We need to restore confidence.
- Well...

Tom, how?
You're on your back.

Come on, Alex.

Warriors, right?

Come on, help me up.

(GRUNTS)

No, we're not hiding anything.
Look, I already told you.

The president is out of surgery
and he's resting comfortably. Emily?

Has the 25th Amendment
been revoked?

Yes. As soon as the president
was able to reach

Speaker Hookstraten
and the Senate pro tem,

he resumed his duties
as commander in chief. Gary?

Seth, it's been two days.
When can we see him?

As soon as his doctors say so.

When is that gonna be?
The people need to know

what condition
their president's in.

I already answered
that question.

Look, if any of you have questions
I haven't already answered,

please feel free to ask.

- MALE VOICE: Whoa, hey!
- Look, over there!

(CROWD CHEERING)

And that was the scene
earlier today

at George Washington
University Medical Center,

as President Kirkman
waved to an adoring crowd,

just hours after his
life-threatening surgery.

After all the worldwide
concerns about his health

plunged the global
financial markets into chaos,

this was indeed an extraordinary
moment of hope and assurance.

Immediately afterwards,
the DOW and S&P began to rebound,

showing significant gains
across the board.

President Kirkman...
-(TV CLICKS OFF)

The Dow is up 450 points.
S&P is up 7%.

- Looks like your wave paid off, sir.
- That's great news,

but we've still got
a lot of work to do.

You still have a lot
of recovery to do.

And that, too.

Where's Aaron?

He's back at the office,
just finishing up a few things.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

Right.

Can I have a moment, please?
Thank you.

Is she here?

Yes, sir.

Bring her in.

Clear the floor!

It's all right, Mike.

Agent Wells.

Mr. President.

I understand
you have some things

you want to tell me
about Peter MacLeish.

Yes, sir. I do.

Then we should get started.
