Go! Go! Go! Go!

Back up! Back up! Go! Go!

I.A.S. holding steady
at 190 knots.

00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:15,276
Altitude 8,000 feet.
6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,496
We're taking
heavy artillery fire.
7
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:21,064
Ground support's
targeting enemy batteries.
8
00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:24,067
Maintain compass heading,
Captain.
9
00:00:24,111 --> 00:00:26,852
Roger that. Paley out.
10
00:00:28,898 --> 00:00:30,421
All right. Pull them up closer
11
00:00:30,465 --> 00:00:32,510
to the carrots, Gloria.
12
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:34,425
Oops.Yeah. Like that.
13
00:00:34,469 --> 00:00:37,385
I can't get them full...
Yes, Mommy.
14
00:00:38,777 --> 00:00:40,301
Got it.
15
00:00:43,347 --> 00:00:46,002
Found a worm.
16
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:53,270
Susan Paley?
17
00:00:54,315 --> 00:00:56,012
Yes? Good morning.
18
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,231
Hello.
19
00:00:57,274 --> 00:00:59,842
I'm Major Garrett.
This is Chaplain Licitra.
20
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:02,279
Yes?
21
00:01:02,323 --> 00:01:05,500
We have a letter
from the Secretary of War.
22
00:01:26,782 --> 00:01:30,351
I'm coming. Hold your horses.
23
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,702
Hello.
24
00:01:35,051 --> 00:01:37,053
Yes? This is Gloria Paley.
25
00:01:46,497 --> 00:01:49,326
Ma'am? Ma'am?
26
00:01:51,372 --> 00:01:53,287
Five days until midterms.
27
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:57,029
That's 120 hours,
7,200 minutes, and counting.
28
00:01:57,073 --> 00:01:58,094
Look at you, with the math.
29
00:01:58,118 --> 00:01:59,554
I'm saying we're up against it.
30
00:01:59,597 --> 00:02:01,686
If the president's bloc
doesn't take the House,
31
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:03,688
you know what happens
to our legislative agenda?
32
00:02:03,732 --> 00:02:06,909
So how do I figure into
this doomsday scenario?
33
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:09,433
Ever heard
of the David Paley Foundation?
34
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:13,916
Yeah. Big advocates
for P.O.W.'s, right?
35
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:15,178
Yeah. And M.I.A.'s.
36
00:02:15,222 --> 00:02:17,049
The foundation head,
Gloria Paley,
37
00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:19,791
held a presser in front of the
Capitol yesterday afternoon.
38
00:02:19,835 --> 00:02:21,619
All cued up. Thanks, Adele.
39
00:02:21,663 --> 00:02:24,056
You bet.
Madam Secretary. Good morning.
40
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,538
73 years ago, a plane
my father, Captain David Paley,
41
00:02:27,582 --> 00:02:30,541
was piloting
went down in the Philippines.
42
00:02:30,585 --> 00:02:34,197
31 service members
were presumed dead.
43
00:02:34,241 --> 00:02:37,200
Three weeks ago,
I received word that the remains
44
00:02:37,244 --> 00:02:41,248
of those brave Americans
have finally been discovered.
45
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,076
Since that hopeful day,
46
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,906
the families of these patriots
have waited anxiously
47
00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:49,299
for their return.
48
00:02:49,343 --> 00:02:53,085
But our entreaties
have met with silence
49
00:02:53,129 --> 00:02:55,218
from the Dalton administration.
50
00:02:55,262 --> 00:02:59,309
These men sacrificed everything
for their country.
51
00:02:59,353 --> 00:03:02,530
The government
must bring them home...
52
00:03:04,314 --> 00:03:06,316
right now!
53
00:03:08,405 --> 00:03:10,886
Right now! Right now! Right now!
54
00:03:10,929 --> 00:03:12,496
Right now.
55
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:16,021
Three million hits
on YouTube in one day.
56
00:03:16,065 --> 00:03:17,849
Footage is already
being cut into attack ads
57
00:03:17,893 --> 00:03:20,243
against Dalton's allies
in swing districts.
58
00:03:20,287 --> 00:03:21,418
Getting those remains here
59
00:03:21,462 --> 00:03:23,986
should be an
administration priority
60
00:03:24,029 --> 00:03:25,292
regardless of optics.
61
00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:27,555
Which is where you come in.
62
00:03:27,598 --> 00:03:31,733
Except repatriation falls
squarely in DoD's bailiwick.
63
00:03:31,776 --> 00:03:34,301
Fell. Gordon stalled out.
64
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:36,520
POTUS has asked
for your intervention.
65
00:03:36,564 --> 00:03:40,829
He feels your diplomatic
savoir faire might resolve this.
66
00:03:40,872 --> 00:03:43,310
My relationship
with Andrada is...
67
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:45,312
a little fraught.
68
00:03:45,355 --> 00:03:47,488
Courtesy
of your pugilistic skill.
69
00:03:47,531 --> 00:03:49,838
Punching him for grabbing you.
70
00:03:49,881 --> 00:03:52,841
That's a muscular
foreign policy.
71
00:03:52,884 --> 00:03:54,408
That's your wallpaper?
72
00:03:54,451 --> 00:03:55,757
Yeah. I tried
to have it rendered
73
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,889
in 3-D.I'm not amused.
74
00:03:57,933 --> 00:04:00,152
Well, neither was Andrada.
75
00:04:00,196 --> 00:04:02,720
But fisticuffs notwithstanding,
76
00:04:02,764 --> 00:04:04,635
the president believes
you're the one
77
00:04:04,679 --> 00:04:07,290
to get these soldiers
home, and I agree.
78
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:09,292
Especially since I assured him
79
00:04:09,336 --> 00:04:12,513
you're not gonna go
full Ronda Rousey this time.
80
00:04:12,556 --> 00:04:16,647
Which means you will
handle this at arm's length.
81
00:04:16,691 --> 00:04:19,128
But you will handle it.
82
00:04:19,171 --> 00:04:22,436
How did Gordon take it
when he learned that you were
83
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:25,221
turning the matter
over to State? You'll have to tell me.
84
00:04:27,354 --> 00:04:29,181
Sure, Elizabeth,
you go get our war dead back.
85
00:04:29,225 --> 00:04:30,400
And then I'll go to Oslo
86
00:04:30,444 --> 00:04:32,117
and negotiate that treaty
on global warming.
87
00:04:32,141 --> 00:04:34,709
Gordon, this isn't a referendum
on your effectiveness.
88
00:04:34,752 --> 00:04:37,364
No. It's a referendum
on my ineffectiveness.
89
00:04:37,407 --> 00:04:39,366
The president simply believes.
90
00:04:39,409 --> 00:04:42,499
State taking the lead on this
might expedite things.
91
00:04:42,543 --> 00:04:44,022
I haven't been sitting
on my hands.
92
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:45,981
Those remains
would not even have been found
93
00:04:46,024 --> 00:04:48,549
were it not
for new infrared technology
94
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:50,986
that we used
to scan the jungle canopy,
95
00:04:51,029 --> 00:04:55,164
technology I lobbied for.
96
00:04:55,207 --> 00:04:58,472
My dad died at Khe Sanh.
97
00:04:58,515 --> 00:05:00,517
This issue means a lot to me.
98
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:04,782
So I can tell the president
99
00:05:04,826 --> 00:05:07,698
that I have the full
cooperation of DoD?
100
00:05:10,222 --> 00:05:13,225
Postmaster general
can run point on this.
101
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:17,273
Long as it gets our people home.
102
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:23,497
I share Secretary Becker's frustration.
103
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:27,370
I've done everything
but storm Malacañang Palace.
104
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:29,851
I'm gonna need you to take
me through it, Martin.
105
00:05:29,894 --> 00:05:32,680
Andrada's staff
won't engage me on this issue.
106
00:05:32,723 --> 00:05:35,683
They claim it's beyond the
purview of an acting ambassador.
107
00:05:35,726 --> 00:05:36,858
That doesn't make sense.
108
00:05:36,901 --> 00:05:38,096
They know
you have plenary authority
109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,489
to speak on behalf
of the administration.
110
00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:40,818
A fact I've repeatedly
111
00:05:40,862 --> 00:05:41,993
reminded them of.
112
00:05:42,037 --> 00:05:43,691
But they insist that our failure
113
00:05:43,734 --> 00:05:45,736
to appoint
a full-time ambassador
114
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:47,303
is a slap in the face.
115
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:51,046
But his office did send me this.
116
00:05:51,089 --> 00:05:55,398
A sampaguita.
The Philippine national flower.
117
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:57,226
Thanks, Martin.
118
00:05:57,269 --> 00:05:58,706
We'll take it from here.
119
00:05:58,749 --> 00:06:00,055
Thank you, Madam Secretary.
120
00:06:00,098 --> 00:06:02,144
I'm smelling pretext.
121
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:04,146
Andrada's flexing.
122
00:06:04,189 --> 00:06:05,800
Using the remains to remind us
123
00:06:05,843 --> 00:06:08,455
that the Philippines
is our partner,
124
00:06:08,498 --> 00:06:10,152
not our subordinate.
125
00:06:10,195 --> 00:06:12,372
And the absence
of a full-time ambassador
126
00:06:12,415 --> 00:06:15,418
has given him an excuse
to squawk about respect.
127
00:06:15,462 --> 00:06:17,638
His administration
wants respect?
128
00:06:17,681 --> 00:06:20,641
Let's see how they feel
about dealing with me.
129
00:06:20,684 --> 00:06:23,034
I'll get Ambassador Carpio
in here.
130
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:31,173
Yes, Mrs. Lee.
Candidate Pavano feels
131
00:06:31,216 --> 00:06:33,044
that elder abuse
is an overlooked issue.
132
00:06:33,088 --> 00:06:35,830
He will make it a part of
the national conversation.
133
00:06:35,873 --> 00:06:38,112
All right, everybody, look alive. Eyes up.
Thank you for your vote.
134
00:06:38,136 --> 00:06:40,095
Let's focus. Hello, hello.
135
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:42,532
Can I have everyone's attention
just for a second, please?
136
00:06:42,576 --> 00:06:44,795
I just want to thank you all
for your hard work.
137
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,495
There is no campaign
without you, because change
138
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:50,497
is a collective endeavor.
139
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:53,021
Every single person matters.
Yeah?
140
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:55,327
All right.
141
00:06:55,371 --> 00:06:58,156
Now, the next few days
will be decisive.
142
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,811
Okay, we'll need
a social media onslaught.
143
00:07:00,855 --> 00:07:02,049
Door-to-door
for every undecided.
144
00:07:02,073 --> 00:07:03,684
And keep working
those call lists
145
00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:05,468
till the polls close.
146
00:07:05,512 --> 00:07:07,688
All right, let's make
a better world together.
147
00:07:10,299 --> 00:07:11,343
All right.
148
00:07:12,388 --> 00:07:13,781
Respectfully,
149
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:16,914
Ambassador Carpio,
15,000 Americans died
150
00:07:16,958 --> 00:07:19,874
defending the Philippines
against the Imperial Army.
151
00:07:19,917 --> 00:07:22,093
So expediting those remains
doesn't begin
152
00:07:22,137 --> 00:07:24,618
to cover the debt
your country owes.
153
00:07:24,661 --> 00:07:27,925
Madam Secretary... The only thing
that President Andrada has done
154
00:07:27,969 --> 00:07:31,059
since those bodies were found
is send flowers.
155
00:07:31,102 --> 00:07:33,017
Sampaguita, which, as you know,
156
00:07:33,061 --> 00:07:34,802
means, "I promise you."
157
00:07:34,845 --> 00:07:37,674
So, what...
158
00:07:37,718 --> 00:07:40,372
what promise have we broken
that makes you think
159
00:07:40,416 --> 00:07:42,940
you can hold our war dead
for ransom?
160
00:07:44,507 --> 00:07:46,901
$300 million in
advanced weaponry,
161
00:07:46,944 --> 00:07:48,076
which we need to fight
162
00:07:48,119 --> 00:07:49,445
the Mindanao Freedom
Brigade insurgency.
163
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,862
Islamic Fundamentalists.
164
00:07:51,906 --> 00:07:53,449
We share your interest
in containing them.
165
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,823
Which is why we've
been pushing H.R. 8365.
166
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:56,824
Hard.
167
00:07:56,867 --> 00:07:58,260
But appropriations
168
00:07:58,303 --> 00:08:00,131
are the exclusive purview
of Congress.
169
00:08:00,175 --> 00:08:03,831
I understand, Madam Secretary.
170
00:08:03,874 --> 00:08:06,703
Then instead of
using our dead patriots
171
00:08:06,747 --> 00:08:08,749
to shake down the president,
172
00:08:08,792 --> 00:08:10,838
why aren't you mobilizing
your army of lobbyists?
173
00:08:12,883 --> 00:08:16,278
Because President Andrada
174
00:08:16,321 --> 00:08:18,585
doesn't want to make
a public stink
175
00:08:18,628 --> 00:08:20,978
about needing U.S. aid.
176
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:23,241
Makes him look weak.
177
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:27,245
You want those bodies,
get us that aid.
178
00:08:27,289 --> 00:08:30,684
Well, unfortunately,
it's not my purview
179
00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:32,337
to tell Congress what to do
180
00:08:32,381 --> 00:08:33,904
or when to do it.
181
00:08:33,948 --> 00:08:36,559
Your midterms are coming, right?
182
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:39,040
What's that Yankee expression?
183
00:08:39,083 --> 00:08:41,869
"Where there's a will,
there's a way."
184
00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:48,789
Holy hell. Stuffed French toast
185
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:50,767
is back on the menu. I don't know what you
see in that. It's...
186
00:08:50,791 --> 00:08:52,923
Peanut butter.
Nutella. Cream cheese.
187
00:08:52,967 --> 00:08:55,186
I see God. I see an amateur.
188
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:56,753
I'm getting the Pynchon burger.
189
00:08:56,797 --> 00:08:58,799
Triple cheese, bacon, avocado.
190
00:08:58,842 --> 00:09:01,236
Juice it with some onion
rings and jalapeños.
191
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,021
Hey, Mitzi, think
we're ready to order.
192
00:09:04,065 --> 00:09:06,458
I'm afraid I can't serve
you guys today.
193
00:09:06,502 --> 00:09:07,982
Yeah, my wife hates
this tie, too.
194
00:09:08,025 --> 00:09:09,244
Dad. My God.
195
00:09:09,287 --> 00:09:11,202
I'm not kidding.
196
00:09:11,246 --> 00:09:13,901
What Mitzi's trying to say is,
197
00:09:13,944 --> 00:09:16,164
your family's not
welcome here anymore.
198
00:09:17,208 --> 00:09:20,168
Trevor, what's going on?
199
00:09:20,211 --> 00:09:22,736
As a veteran, I'd expect
the Dalton administration
200
00:09:22,779 --> 00:09:24,520
to give a damn about
their war dead.
201
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,218
But it doesn't. And your
wife is complicit in that.
202
00:09:27,262 --> 00:09:28,263
My wife?
203
00:09:28,306 --> 00:09:29,743
Yeah, that's right.
204
00:09:29,786 --> 00:09:31,919
Trevor, we've been
coming here for years.
205
00:09:31,962 --> 00:09:33,616
I'm aware of that.
206
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:35,226
You can't be serious.
207
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:37,272
My dad,
208
00:09:37,315 --> 00:09:38,708
he's a veteran, too.
209
00:09:38,752 --> 00:09:41,450
He's... He's willing to take
our business elsewhere.
210
00:09:41,493 --> 00:09:43,017
Come on, let's go. What?
211
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:44,453
Let's go, Stevie. Come on.Dad...
212
00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:01,862
Ma'am.
213
00:10:01,905 --> 00:10:03,951
Ms. Paley.
214
00:10:03,994 --> 00:10:05,735
Thank you for coming.
215
00:10:05,779 --> 00:10:09,913
I'm here out of respect
for you, Madam Secretary.
216
00:10:09,957 --> 00:10:13,221
Well, that respect is shared.
217
00:10:13,264 --> 00:10:17,181
Please. What you and
your organization do
218
00:10:17,225 --> 00:10:19,488
to keep a spotlight
219
00:10:19,531 --> 00:10:22,752
on those who sacrificed
so much for our country...
220
00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:24,885
well, it's critically important.
221
00:10:24,928 --> 00:10:26,756
It is.
222
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,934
I want you to know that my
team is working tirelessly
223
00:10:30,978 --> 00:10:33,676
to bring those
missing soldiers home.
224
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,113
I'm glad to hear it.
225
00:10:37,158 --> 00:10:38,986
I fear...
226
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:41,641
that our efforts
aren't being helped
227
00:10:41,684 --> 00:10:43,643
by your public statements.
228
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:45,514
These are delicate negotiations
229
00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:48,778
with an overreaching ally.
230
00:10:48,822 --> 00:10:51,259
I appreciate that,
231
00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:55,698
but more than 72,000 Americans
232
00:10:55,742 --> 00:10:58,353
who died in World War II
233
00:10:58,396 --> 00:11:01,661
still remain unaccounted for.
234
00:11:01,704 --> 00:11:04,794
72,000 families
235
00:11:04,838 --> 00:11:06,883
have never healed,
236
00:11:06,927 --> 00:11:09,320
and mine was one of them.
237
00:11:15,936 --> 00:11:19,330
The last time I saw my dad,
238
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:22,072
he took me by the hand,
239
00:11:22,116 --> 00:11:24,814
he looked me in the eye
240
00:11:24,858 --> 00:11:26,860
and promised he was coming home.
241
00:11:29,863 --> 00:11:32,561
I'm going to do
everything it takes
242
00:11:32,604 --> 00:11:35,216
to help him keep that promise.
243
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:39,829
So, how long do we have
244
00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:44,791
before Gloria Paley takes
to the airwaves again?
245
00:11:44,834 --> 00:11:48,925
She agreed to stand down until
the morning of the midterms.
246
00:11:48,969 --> 00:11:52,712
If the remains haven't left
Manila by then,
247
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:55,236
she is going to hold
another press conference.
248
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:59,980
Which will sink our allies
running for office.
249
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:03,113
I don't blame the woman at all.
250
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:06,203
Where are we on
those remains, Bess?
251
00:12:06,247 --> 00:12:10,730
Andrada's playing hardball until
we deliver his military aid.
252
00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:12,557
So who's holding up the bill?
253
00:12:12,601 --> 00:12:15,299
The new senator
from Kentucky, Owen Callister.
254
00:12:15,343 --> 00:12:17,562
He's the swing vote
on foreign relations
255
00:12:17,606 --> 00:12:20,000
who won't let the bill get
to the Senate floor.
256
00:12:20,043 --> 00:12:21,218
Elizabeth, see if you can
257
00:12:21,262 --> 00:12:22,524
bring Callister to heel.
258
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:25,048
If you can't, then tell Andrada
259
00:12:25,092 --> 00:12:27,181
we're slapping him
with sanctions.
260
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:32,012
Sir,
I would advise against that.
261
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,057
He's gonna take it
as an affront.
262
00:12:34,101 --> 00:12:36,277
Says the woman
who shattered his nose.
263
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Which is how I know
264
00:12:37,844 --> 00:12:39,584
that he is
particularly sensitive
265
00:12:39,628 --> 00:12:41,064
to an American display of power.
266
00:12:41,108 --> 00:12:44,807
Carrot or stick,
whatever it takes,
267
00:12:44,851 --> 00:12:46,853
because "no man left behind"
is not just a credo.
268
00:12:46,896 --> 00:12:48,855
It's a pledge we make
to the enlisted,
269
00:12:48,898 --> 00:12:50,484
and every second
those soldiers aren't back
270
00:12:50,508 --> 00:12:52,380
is a breach of faith
to those who serve.
271
00:12:52,423 --> 00:12:55,426
I'll lean on Senator Callister.
272
00:12:57,864 --> 00:12:59,953
Lean hard, Bess.
273
00:13:03,086 --> 00:13:04,871
Where are you?
274
00:13:04,914 --> 00:13:08,439
No, get off the Beltway
and take the local streets.
275
00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:11,268
Just get here as quickly
as you can, okay? Bye.
276
00:13:11,312 --> 00:13:13,270
Thank you so much. Yeah, for sure.
277
00:13:13,314 --> 00:13:15,055
Nice turnout, Ali.
278
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:16,752
Thanks for helping organize it.
279
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,449
You're welcome.
280
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:21,452
Um, I'm afraid I messed up.
281
00:13:21,496 --> 00:13:25,065
I gave the sign language
interpreter the wrong address...
282
00:13:25,108 --> 00:13:26,849
Boulevard instead of Avenue.
283
00:13:26,893 --> 00:13:28,633
He's still 20 minutes out.
284
00:13:28,677 --> 00:13:30,350
I'm supposed to speak
on federal initiatives
285
00:13:30,374 --> 00:13:32,115
to increase educational access.
286
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:35,075
It would be ironic if some
of the audience couldn't hear. I know.
287
00:13:35,118 --> 00:13:37,077
I'm so sorry.
288
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:42,256
It's not a problem, Ali.
289
00:13:42,299 --> 00:13:43,866
Okay, everyone,
290
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:46,695
please welcome Craig Pavano,
our candidate for Congress.
291
00:13:48,653 --> 00:13:50,220
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.
292
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,962
Good morning.
Thank you for coming out.
293
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,010
I'm Craig Pavano,
294
00:13:57,053 --> 00:13:58,576
Yes!
295
00:13:59,969 --> 00:14:02,580
I'm here to speak
about our children.
296
00:14:04,017 --> 00:14:05,627
Good morning, Madam Secretary.
297
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:10,110
You know, I have this fantasy
that one morning
298
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:12,068
I'm going to step
off of that elevator
299
00:14:12,112 --> 00:14:14,418
and be greeted by a genie.
300
00:14:14,462 --> 00:14:17,682
Or a masseuse,
or maybe a wayward puppy.
301
00:14:17,726 --> 00:14:19,249
Well, would you settle
for a stray Kat?
302
00:14:19,293 --> 00:14:20,250
I would.
303
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:21,382
I had to go there. Hi.
304
00:14:21,425 --> 00:14:23,210
Welcome back. Thank you.
305
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:25,560
How was the U.N.? It was good.
It was good.
306
00:14:25,603 --> 00:14:27,214
We made progress on
the refugee protocol.
307
00:14:27,257 --> 00:14:29,346
However, they do not care
about coffee over there.
308
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:31,392
Philistines. It's so good to be home.
309
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:35,570
Senator Callister
is prepped and waiting for us.
310
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:37,224
And I... I did some digging.
311
00:14:37,267 --> 00:14:39,245
It turns out his state houses
Paraverse Industries.
312
00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:41,054
They manufacture
much of the weaponry
313
00:14:41,097 --> 00:14:44,448
that we'd send Andrada's
way if H.R. 8365 passes.
314
00:14:44,492 --> 00:14:46,537
Yeah, Paraverse has
over 800 employees
315
00:14:46,581 --> 00:14:49,410
in Lexington alone,
meaning opposition to this bill
316
00:14:49,453 --> 00:14:51,412
takes food out
of his constituents' mouths.
317
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:52,761
Nice work, everyone.
318
00:14:52,804 --> 00:14:55,416
Still holding out for a puppy. Yes, ma'am.
319
00:14:55,459 --> 00:14:57,418
Senator.
320
00:14:57,461 --> 00:14:58,810
So nice to meet you.
321
00:14:58,854 --> 00:15:00,203
Likewise, Madam Secretary.
322
00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:03,119
Kat. Come on in.
323
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:05,687
This administration likes
324
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:07,471
to work very closely
with Congress,
325
00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:11,127
which is why we called you in
to talk about H.R. 8365,
326
00:15:11,171 --> 00:15:12,650
which I understand you oppose?
327
00:15:12,694 --> 00:15:14,174
Yes, ma'am.
328
00:15:14,217 --> 00:15:17,307
Okay, well, that bill
provides military aid
329
00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:20,267
to an important ally in
a region of the world
330
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:22,965
we don't want to see fall under
China's sphere of influence.
331
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:24,097
I understand that.
332
00:15:25,663 --> 00:15:28,884
Is also tied
to the release of the bodies
333
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:30,842
of missing American soldiers.
334
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:32,322
An important priority.
335
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:33,802
Yes.
336
00:15:33,845 --> 00:15:37,501
And given the fact that
this legislation would support.
337
00:15:37,545 --> 00:15:40,156
Paraverse,
a major defense contractor
338
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,506
in your own state, we're hoping
339
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:44,856
that you'll reconsider
your position.
340
00:15:48,164 --> 00:15:50,123
I will not.
341
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:52,690
Would you please explain why?
342
00:15:52,734 --> 00:15:55,171
Andrada is a ruthless dictator
343
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:57,913
whose government
is a notorious violator
344
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,219
of human rights.
345
00:15:59,262 --> 00:16:01,961
Funneling money to his regime
is inconsistent
346
00:16:02,004 --> 00:16:03,397
with American values.
347
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,747
But not as inconsistent
as letting that country fall
348
00:16:05,790 --> 00:16:08,054
into the hands
of fundamentalist extremists.
349
00:16:08,097 --> 00:16:09,620
The intelligence
I've seen suggests
350
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:11,448
that is an unlikely scenario.
351
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:13,059
Only if Andrada remains
in power.
352
00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:17,759
We are very aware
353
00:16:17,802 --> 00:16:20,196
of Andrada's
obvious shortcomings,
354
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,633
but this Mindanao
Freedom Brigade
355
00:16:22,677 --> 00:16:25,114
makes him look like Churchill.
356
00:16:25,158 --> 00:16:28,900
And sometimes you do have to
choose the lesser of two evils.
357
00:16:28,944 --> 00:16:30,641
No.
358
00:16:30,685 --> 00:16:32,469
The Dalton administration does.
359
00:16:32,513 --> 00:16:35,995
I have to look
my constituents in the eye.
360
00:16:36,038 --> 00:16:38,475
Please, um,
361
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:41,087
tell the president I'm sorry.
362
00:16:41,130 --> 00:16:42,697
You bet.
363
00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:44,742
Okay. Thanks.
364
00:16:47,789 --> 00:16:49,834
Golly. Wow.
365
00:16:49,878 --> 00:16:52,098
Did we just meet
366
00:16:52,141 --> 00:16:54,056
one of the few elected officials
367
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,058
who puts principles first?
368
00:16:56,102 --> 00:16:58,321
That, or someone
dropped him on his head.
369
00:16:59,975 --> 00:17:03,065
I'm not buying either scenario.
370
00:17:07,287 --> 00:17:10,333
Who is Paraverse's
chief lobbyist?
371
00:17:10,377 --> 00:17:12,727
Kah... Kah...
372
00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:14,511
Mickey Kensington.
373
00:17:14,555 --> 00:17:16,513
You know what? I'll tell Jay.
374
00:17:16,557 --> 00:17:18,559
He's worked with him. Great.
375
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,217
Hold on, Mickey.
376
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:25,977
You're saying that Callister
doesn't care about donors?
377
00:17:26,001 --> 00:17:28,351
Well, he's made a fortune
in high-tech.
378
00:17:28,395 --> 00:17:30,092
He doesn't need
Paraverse's money.
379
00:17:30,136 --> 00:17:32,660
But he damn sure needs their
votes in the next election.
380
00:17:32,703 --> 00:17:34,681
And Paraverse is one of the
state's largest employers.
381
00:17:34,705 --> 00:17:36,533
He won't support
foreign companies.
382
00:17:36,577 --> 00:17:38,231
What could be more apple pie
383
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:40,189
than an American
munitions manufacturer
384
00:17:40,233 --> 00:17:41,451
headquartered in Kentucky?
385
00:17:41,495 --> 00:17:43,062
One that's not founded by
386
00:17:43,105 --> 00:17:46,456
an immigrant from New Delhi
named Arjun Bhatt.
387
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,589
Wait. What are you telling me?
388
00:17:48,632 --> 00:17:50,591
Once you get past
the glossy facade,
389
00:17:50,634 --> 00:17:52,201
Callister gets dark in a hurry.
390
00:17:52,245 --> 00:17:54,812
He's got deep ties
to nativist organizations,
391
00:17:54,856 --> 00:17:56,553
but since
he's not taking PAC money,
392
00:17:56,597 --> 00:17:58,381
the connections
are well concealed.
393
00:17:58,425 --> 00:18:01,558
So he won't help Filipinos
or naturalized Americans.
394
00:18:01,602 --> 00:18:04,431
Or anyone who doesn't come
from Anglo-Saxon stock.
395
00:18:04,474 --> 00:18:06,520
If you want
to get those bodies back,
396
00:18:06,563 --> 00:18:07,825
Callister's not your solution.
397
00:18:07,869 --> 00:18:10,393
He's our problem.
398
00:18:10,437 --> 00:18:12,221
Thanks, Mickey.
399
00:18:12,265 --> 00:18:14,136
It's on me.
400
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:16,138
Thank you.
401
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:23,537
Ma'am, I think calling
President Andrada directly
402
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:24,799
is not a good idea.
403
00:18:24,842 --> 00:18:26,627
By "not good," he means
apocalyptically bad.
404
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:29,108
Well, I appreciate
the sage counsel,
405
00:18:29,151 --> 00:18:30,587
but you two just told me
406
00:18:30,631 --> 00:18:33,721
that Senator Racist Obstruction
isn't going to help us,
407
00:18:33,764 --> 00:18:35,723
so we need a new strategy.
408
00:18:35,766 --> 00:18:37,309
Ma'am, if I could put
a finer point on it
409
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:39,901
Andrada is a chauvinist who is
unlikely to meet with a woman
410
00:18:39,944 --> 00:18:42,314
whose last interaction with him
left him with a deviated septum.
411
00:18:42,338 --> 00:18:44,123
I wish I could help you,
412
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:48,910
Madam Secretary, but the bodies
are in a remote jungle location.
413
00:18:48,953 --> 00:18:50,781
It's the rainy season.
414
00:18:50,825 --> 00:18:52,740
They will take time
to safely excavate.
415
00:18:52,783 --> 00:18:56,004
And we don't want
to endanger your men,
416
00:18:56,047 --> 00:18:58,702
so we have a detachment
of Marines at the ready
417
00:18:58,746 --> 00:19:00,878
who will conduct
the recovery mission.
418
00:19:00,922 --> 00:19:02,880
It's not just the weather.
419
00:19:02,924 --> 00:19:05,666
The jungle
where the bodies are located
420
00:19:05,709 --> 00:19:08,451
is a stronghold for
the Mindanao Freedom Brigade.
421
00:19:08,495 --> 00:19:13,282
I know how concerned
you are about the insurgency.
422
00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:15,023
President Dalton has authorized
423
00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:17,460
a detachment
of U.S. military advisers...
424
00:19:17,504 --> 00:19:18,722
I don't need advisers.
425
00:19:18,766 --> 00:19:20,811
I need assault rifles,
426
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:24,075
armored personnel carriers,
drones.
427
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,340
All of which will be forthcoming
428
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:29,472
when Congress passes
the aid bill,
429
00:19:29,516 --> 00:19:33,868
which we expect will be before
the end of the current term.
430
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:40,222
President Andrada, my...
431
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:43,747
my advisers were concerned
432
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:47,316
that...
after our last encounter,
433
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,189
you wouldn't be receptive to me,
but...
434
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:52,408
but I disagreed,
435
00:19:52,452 --> 00:19:54,236
because I know
that you're a leader
436
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,282
who wants what's best
for your country...
437
00:19:56,325 --> 00:19:58,893
meaning you won't let
our unfortunate personal history
438
00:19:58,936 --> 00:20:00,329
be an impediment.
439
00:20:00,373 --> 00:20:03,027
You are correct.
440
00:20:03,071 --> 00:20:05,073
Our history is irrelevant.
441
00:20:06,117 --> 00:20:08,859
What is relevant
is that aid package.
442
00:20:10,121 --> 00:20:14,256
And when it arrives,
you can reclaim your dead.
443
00:20:16,737 --> 00:20:19,566
Good luck with the midterms.
444
00:20:23,309 --> 00:20:27,965
I have no update yet,
and I have to cancel lunch.
445
00:20:28,009 --> 00:20:31,578
Well, I'm not here
to pressure you,
446
00:20:31,621 --> 00:20:34,102
but the polls open
in a few days.
447
00:20:34,145 --> 00:20:37,061
I'm flying to Manila
to meet with President Andrada,
448
00:20:37,105 --> 00:20:38,802
and I need to prepare, okay?
449
00:20:38,846 --> 00:20:41,152
Not okay.
450
00:20:41,196 --> 00:20:44,025
Diplomacy at a
distance is one thing,
451
00:20:44,068 --> 00:20:46,917
but the last time... The next person who
brings up Andrada's nose... I'm gonna
452
00:20:46,941 --> 00:20:48,421
punch him in the face. I'm saying,
453
00:20:48,464 --> 00:20:50,094
you're not exactly the poster
child for détente here.
454
00:20:50,118 --> 00:20:52,120
We are out of options and time.
455
00:20:52,163 --> 00:20:55,471
President Dalton asked me
to get involved for a reason.
456
00:20:55,515 --> 00:20:57,734
Just the most modest
vote of confidence
457
00:20:57,778 --> 00:21:01,347
in my ability to do my job
would be great.
458
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:02,913
Aah!
459
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:04,959
Sorry. My confidence
460
00:21:05,002 --> 00:21:08,702
in your ability is
anything but modest.
461
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:12,183
Believe it or not, my anxiety
isn't just about the midterms.
462
00:21:12,227 --> 00:21:13,924
It's-it's... Also about the midterms.
463
00:21:13,968 --> 00:21:15,230
Yes, about the midterms.
464
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:17,885
But I care about this issue.
465
00:21:17,928 --> 00:21:19,974
Same reason everybody else does.
466
00:21:22,977 --> 00:21:26,285
Andrada has been harping on
about disrespect.
467
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:28,461
It's a pretext to shake us down.
468
00:21:28,504 --> 00:21:31,333
The Secretary of State shows up
in Manila, the pretext is gone.
469
00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:34,597
We now have leverage
to call him out.
470
00:21:36,643 --> 00:21:39,123
Well, can't argue with that.
471
00:21:39,167 --> 00:21:41,343
I'm gonna bring 'em home,
Russell.
472
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:43,389
I promise.
473
00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:46,566
Godspeed, Madam Secretary.
474
00:21:46,609 --> 00:21:48,089
Russell.
475
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:51,222
Whatever it is, I got to pack.
476
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:52,920
It can't.
477
00:21:52,963 --> 00:21:56,402
This is an intervention.
The important thing to do
478
00:21:56,445 --> 00:21:58,491
is to keep centered and calm.
479
00:21:58,534 --> 00:21:59,840
About what?
480
00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:01,885
Ma'am.
481
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:07,500
"A forcible and noisy expulsion
482
00:22:07,543 --> 00:22:11,330
of the Secretary of State's
family."
483
00:22:14,245 --> 00:22:17,423
We know your first instinct
is to publicly respond.
484
00:22:17,466 --> 00:22:20,382
And we are all here
to urge you not to.
485
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:23,516
I'm not going to
respond publicly.
486
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:25,213
It would be beneath
the administration
487
00:22:25,256 --> 00:22:28,347
to attack a private business.
488
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:30,000
Well put, ma'am.
489
00:22:30,044 --> 00:22:31,480
Well put.
490
00:22:32,525 --> 00:22:34,701
I'm going to ignore it.
491
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,180
That's good. That's good.Good.
492
00:22:36,224 --> 00:22:38,182
Okay. Well
done. Just ignore. Hear, hear.
493
00:22:38,226 --> 00:22:39,226
Just ignore.
494
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,059
Did that work? MATT
I don't know.
495
00:22:45,102 --> 00:22:46,689
I can't read
that lady. Yeah, me neither.
496
00:22:46,713 --> 00:22:48,889
She's either chill... Or
she's gonna kill someone.
497
00:22:48,932 --> 00:22:51,413
Coming after my family?
498
00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:52,545
Babe,
499
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:54,416
this is just a taste
of the kind of stuff
500
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:56,200
we're gonna have to
get used to if you're
501
00:22:56,244 --> 00:22:57,613
throwing your hat
in the ring. I know.
502
00:22:57,637 --> 00:23:00,814
But I just feel like every day
that I do this job
503
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:02,076
undermines my chances
504
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,512
to do that one.
505
00:23:03,556 --> 00:23:06,080
Our restaurant eviction
is hardly a scarlet letter.
506
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:07,473
No, it's not just that.
507
00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:11,390
A Secretary of State's mandate
is to compromise.
508
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:13,870
Lose the battle to win the war.
509
00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:17,004
Nowadays it seems like
a successful candidate
510
00:23:17,047 --> 00:23:18,875
has to appear resolute,
511
00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:20,921
unyielding.
512
00:23:22,923 --> 00:23:26,143
You know the last Secretary
of State to become president?
513
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:28,058
James Buchanan.
514
00:23:28,102 --> 00:23:30,887
150 years ago.
515
00:23:30,931 --> 00:23:33,150
Well, even the Cubbies
eventually won
516
00:23:33,194 --> 00:23:34,891
the World Series.
517
00:23:35,936 --> 00:23:37,633
Streaks are made to be broken.
518
00:23:38,678 --> 00:23:40,157
By the way,
519
00:23:40,201 --> 00:23:41,463
I need to thank you.
520
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:43,857
Don't get used to it.
You're on dishes next week.
521
00:23:45,206 --> 00:23:46,468
No.
522
00:23:46,512 --> 00:23:48,644
Thanks, Frank. You got it.
523
00:23:48,688 --> 00:23:51,995
I got to thank you for bringing
home those dead soldiers.
524
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:56,347
I mean, you know that I lost
some friends from basic.
525
00:23:56,391 --> 00:24:00,526
The thought of leaving
those guys where they fell is...
526
00:24:00,569 --> 00:24:02,571
It's an important mission.
527
00:24:03,877 --> 00:24:06,575
And I'm the one
entrusted with it.
528
00:24:06,619 --> 00:24:08,490
That should be
a declaration, babe.
529
00:24:08,534 --> 00:24:10,623
That sounds like a question.
530
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:14,148
You don't have misgivings
about me going
531
00:24:14,191 --> 00:24:15,734
face-to-face with...
Yeah, I have misgivings.
532
00:24:15,758 --> 00:24:18,457
I hate that you're gonna be
in the same room as the guy.
533
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:20,807
You're gonna be okay.
534
00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:22,461
Yeah, I got this.
535
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:23,462
Good.
536
00:24:23,505 --> 00:24:24,680
Bring our heroes home.
537
00:24:24,724 --> 00:24:26,421
I will.
538
00:24:27,857 --> 00:24:29,076
Be safe.
539
00:24:34,603 --> 00:24:35,952
I need you to copy
540
00:24:35,996 --> 00:24:39,086
talking points for Craig's
next round of interviews.
541
00:24:39,129 --> 00:24:41,392
Wait, there's a mistake here.
542
00:24:41,436 --> 00:24:44,134
Candidate approved it.
There's no mistake.
543
00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:51,402
Craig, can I have a second?
544
00:24:52,403 --> 00:24:54,014
Sure. What's up, Ali?
545
00:24:54,057 --> 00:24:55,885
One of the cornerstones
of your campaign
546
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:57,800
is student loan
forgiveness. Right, right.
547
00:24:57,844 --> 00:25:00,499
But someone forgot to include
it in the talking points
548
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,544
for your upcoming appearances.
549
00:25:02,588 --> 00:25:04,720
Well, that someone was me.
550
00:25:04,764 --> 00:25:06,374
But I promise you
I didn't forget.
551
00:25:06,417 --> 00:25:09,029
Latest tracking polls
show that this issue
552
00:25:09,072 --> 00:25:11,422
is a... a third rail
for the voters.
553
00:25:11,466 --> 00:25:14,077
You know, unfortunately,
the many funding the few.
554
00:25:14,121 --> 00:25:16,863
But-but, in time, the
few become the many.
555
00:25:16,906 --> 00:25:20,083
Right. And, in time,
I hope to revisit the issue.
556
00:25:20,127 --> 00:25:22,608
But job one is to get
a seat at the table.
557
00:25:22,651 --> 00:25:24,784
Then we can talk about
how to divvy up the food.
558
00:25:24,827 --> 00:25:26,133
Yeah?
559
00:25:26,176 --> 00:25:28,744
Hey, keep up
the good work, okay?
560
00:25:28,788 --> 00:25:30,790
Sure. Thanks.
561
00:25:49,156 --> 00:25:50,940
President Andrada,
562
00:25:50,984 --> 00:25:52,942
we had a meeting calendared
563
00:25:52,986 --> 00:25:55,510
this morning at your office.
564
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,599
Yes.
565
00:25:57,643 --> 00:26:01,255
But I needed some exercise.
566
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,492
Mr. President, I traveled
8,000 miles to make an appeal
567
00:26:21,536 --> 00:26:23,756
on behalf of President Dalton
for the return
568
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:24,974
of our war dead.
569
00:26:25,018 --> 00:26:26,846
Well, I hope you did
not come empty-handed.
570
00:26:28,369 --> 00:26:30,806
I come with a promise.
571
00:26:30,850 --> 00:26:33,896
We will eventually push
that aid package through.
572
00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:37,378
But you need to give us
those bodies back right now.
573
00:26:39,728 --> 00:26:43,340
You do not show up in my country
574
00:26:43,384 --> 00:26:45,604
and step into my gym
575
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:47,910
and tell me what to do.
576
00:26:47,954 --> 00:26:50,826
No.
577
00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:52,915
But you're on record
578
00:26:52,959 --> 00:26:56,179
saying that the U.S.
was disrespecting you.
579
00:26:56,223 --> 00:26:57,790
But I'm here now,
580
00:26:57,833 --> 00:27:01,097
showing you more respect
than you deserve.
581
00:27:04,579 --> 00:27:06,189
Talking to me this way,
582
00:27:06,233 --> 00:27:08,191
that is respect?
583
00:27:08,235 --> 00:27:10,541
Surrender those bodies,
Mr. President,
584
00:27:10,585 --> 00:27:14,371
or your people find out
that you begged for U.S. aid,
585
00:27:14,415 --> 00:27:18,462
which will make you look
as weak as you really are.
586
00:27:20,247 --> 00:27:24,077
You are the weak one,
standing there, begging.
587
00:27:25,078 --> 00:27:27,341
If you prefer...
588
00:27:27,384 --> 00:27:28,690
to fight,
589
00:27:28,734 --> 00:27:31,040
we can settle this in the ring!
590
00:27:37,481 --> 00:27:40,223
I hung up my gloves.
591
00:27:40,267 --> 00:27:42,138
You will release a statement
592
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:44,663
that those bodies
are being extracted.
593
00:27:44,706 --> 00:27:46,752
Or I'm going to release one
594
00:27:46,795 --> 00:27:48,841
about how you
really broke your nose.
595
00:27:48,884 --> 00:27:51,800
Meaning how I broke it.
596
00:27:51,844 --> 00:27:54,498
Understood?
597
00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:57,153
Great.
598
00:27:59,242 --> 00:28:01,070
Bye, Mr. President.
599
00:28:09,992 --> 00:28:12,647
How's the jet lag?
600
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:14,170
I'm too tired to talk about it.
601
00:28:14,214 --> 00:28:17,826
There's a C-17 transport over
the Philippine Sea right now
602
00:28:17,870 --> 00:28:21,612
carrying the remains
of 31 American soldiers.
603
00:28:21,656 --> 00:28:23,614
You brought our people home.
604
00:28:23,658 --> 00:28:26,052
And without precipitating
an international incident.
605
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:27,662
Please.
606
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,317
The summit was handled with...
607
00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:34,756
restraint and decorum.
608
00:28:36,802 --> 00:28:38,368
Good work, Elizabeth.
609
00:28:38,412 --> 00:28:40,631
Thank you. Now the bad news.
610
00:28:40,675 --> 00:28:42,677
Come on.
611
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:47,638
David Paley isn't getting
a military funeral?
612
00:28:47,682 --> 00:28:49,902
I'm afraid not.
613
00:28:49,945 --> 00:28:52,382
We dug up personnel
files on all the dead.
614
00:28:52,426 --> 00:28:54,733
Came across something troubling.
615
00:28:54,776 --> 00:28:56,386
He went AWOL?
616
00:28:56,430 --> 00:28:58,388
Right before his last mission.
617
00:28:58,432 --> 00:29:00,173
18 hours unaccounted for.
618
00:29:00,216 --> 00:29:01,914
Suspected desertion.
619
00:29:01,957 --> 00:29:04,003
Came back to his post
in time to be deployed.
620
00:29:04,046 --> 00:29:05,700
So then why'd they let him fly?
621
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,199
Didn't realize his
transgression until after
622
00:29:07,223 --> 00:29:10,096
his plane went missing. With Paley declared
623
00:29:10,139 --> 00:29:12,228
a combat death,
there was no reason
624
00:29:12,272 --> 00:29:14,622
to throw dirt on his memory.No.
625
00:29:14,665 --> 00:29:17,190
But now everything's
come to light.
626
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:19,714
Department of Veterans
Affairs does not want
627
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,890
to afford him a
burial with honors.
628
00:29:21,934 --> 00:29:24,588
Well, who can overrule that?
629
00:29:24,632 --> 00:29:26,242
This is Gloria Paley's father.
630
00:29:26,286 --> 00:29:28,114
He's a war hero, Mr. President,
631
00:29:28,157 --> 00:29:29,680
who gave his life
for his country.
632
00:29:29,724 --> 00:29:31,900
And he also went AWOL,
an act which would have resulted
633
00:29:31,944 --> 00:29:32,814
in his court-martial
634
00:29:32,858 --> 00:29:34,076
had he not died in combat.
635
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,557
But he did die.
And instead of paying tribute
636
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,907
to his sacrifice,
we're disgracing his memory.
637
00:29:38,951 --> 00:29:41,562
No. We're just not honoring it.
638
00:29:42,693 --> 00:29:44,652
Henry,
639
00:29:44,695 --> 00:29:46,959
you are conspicuous
by your silence.
640
00:29:47,002 --> 00:29:48,656
I'd like your input,
641
00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:50,832
as a Marine and an ethicist.
642
00:29:50,876 --> 00:29:52,225
Well, Mr. President,
643
00:29:52,268 --> 00:29:54,227
I think a life has to
be looked at in toto.
644
00:29:54,270 --> 00:29:57,143
Paley flew 142 missions
with distinction.
645
00:29:57,186 --> 00:30:00,102
After three years in combat,
he reached his breaking point.
646
00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:01,582
But he didn't break. He bent.
647
00:30:01,625 --> 00:30:02,670
Which would urge
648
00:30:02,713 --> 00:30:04,541
commendation, not censure.
649
00:30:04,585 --> 00:30:06,108
What kind of message
would it send
650
00:30:06,152 --> 00:30:08,719
if his daughter's
tireless efforts were rewarded
651
00:30:08,763 --> 00:30:11,287
with this kind of rebuke?
652
00:30:11,331 --> 00:30:13,289
So...
653
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:16,466
compassion over... process.
654
00:30:16,510 --> 00:30:17,903
In this instance,
655
00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:20,514
that would be
my recommendation, yes.
656
00:30:20,557 --> 00:30:22,603
This is not an academic matter.
657
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:24,779
It has consequences.
658
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:27,826
If you don't follow orders,
people die.
659
00:30:27,869 --> 00:30:30,437
If you don't punish deserters,
660
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,786
they desert.
661
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:34,049
And if you don't recognize
heroism,
662
00:30:34,093 --> 00:30:37,270
you discourage heroics.
663
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:40,969
Maybe. But as
commander in chief,
664
00:30:41,013 --> 00:30:43,885
it falls to me
to enforce military protocol.
665
00:30:43,929 --> 00:30:47,367
That takes precedence.
666
00:30:47,410 --> 00:30:48,585
I'm sorry, Bess.
667
00:30:48,629 --> 00:30:50,500
Gordon, you'll have
to inform Ms. Paley.
668
00:30:50,544 --> 00:30:52,720
Yes, sir.
669
00:30:53,764 --> 00:30:56,115
If it's all right with you...
670
00:30:56,158 --> 00:30:57,464
Of course.
671
00:30:57,507 --> 00:30:59,031
It's fine.
672
00:30:59,074 --> 00:31:01,076
Mr. President.
673
00:31:05,254 --> 00:31:07,082
- Hey.
- Hey.
674
00:31:07,126 --> 00:31:09,345
What you watching?
675
00:31:09,389 --> 00:31:11,870
My Uncle William.
676
00:31:11,913 --> 00:31:15,308
It's the only footage
we have of him.
677
00:31:15,351 --> 00:31:17,527
Right before he shipped out.
678
00:31:17,571 --> 00:31:19,660
Can I...?
679
00:31:19,703 --> 00:31:21,705
Yeah.
680
00:31:23,229 --> 00:31:24,926
Did you know that
Uncle William was scouted
681
00:31:24,970 --> 00:31:27,251
by the Washington Senators
his senior year of high school?
682
00:31:27,276 --> 00:31:28,408
Was he really? Yep.
683
00:31:28,451 --> 00:31:29,235
Wow. They offered him
684
00:31:29,278 --> 00:31:30,366
a minor league contract
685
00:31:30,410 --> 00:31:32,934
for the day he got
home from the war.
686
00:31:36,285 --> 00:31:39,114
So much to live for.
687
00:31:39,158 --> 00:31:41,247
Doughnuts. They're still hot.
688
00:31:41,290 --> 00:31:42,596
Hi, Dad.Bye.
689
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:43,945
Bye.
690
00:31:43,989 --> 00:31:46,600
Where you going? Out. I'll be back.
691
00:31:46,643 --> 00:31:48,123
Okay, sweetheart.
692
00:31:49,777 --> 00:31:52,084
No. We haven't had dinner yet.
693
00:31:52,127 --> 00:31:54,825
You don't want a doughnut?
What's wrong?
694
00:31:59,482 --> 00:32:01,920
David Paley.
695
00:32:01,963 --> 00:32:05,053
The truth is going to break
his daughter's heart.
696
00:32:05,097 --> 00:32:06,837
Yes, it will.
697
00:32:06,881 --> 00:32:10,841
So give me the case
for keeping her in the dark.
698
00:32:10,885 --> 00:32:12,843
Well...
699
00:32:12,887 --> 00:32:15,237
Aquinas suggested that...
700
00:32:15,281 --> 00:32:18,371
That guy again... honesty wasn't an
absolute virtue.
701
00:32:18,414 --> 00:32:22,941
What he was getting at
was that the damage
702
00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:24,943
that truth can inflict
703
00:32:24,986 --> 00:32:29,382
should be factored into
the ethical calculus.
704
00:32:30,992 --> 00:32:33,429
Well, I'm not Aquinas;
I'm the Secretary of State.
705
00:32:33,473 --> 00:32:35,997
And my remit is not
to shine that woman on
706
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:38,478
after 73 years of waiting.
707
00:32:38,521 --> 00:32:40,480
Fair enough.
708
00:32:40,523 --> 00:32:42,351
But...
709
00:32:42,395 --> 00:32:45,702
there might be a way
to soften the blow.
710
00:32:45,746 --> 00:32:49,402
It has to do with
Captain Paley's file.
711
00:32:49,445 --> 00:32:52,883
Why don't you have a doughnut,
and I'll tell you about it.
712
00:32:53,928 --> 00:32:55,495
Come on.
713
00:32:55,538 --> 00:32:57,366
Who are we kidding?
I'm gonna have six.
714
00:32:57,410 --> 00:32:59,238
Well, have six.
715
00:32:59,281 --> 00:33:03,068
God. It makes me want to cry.
716
00:33:04,330 --> 00:33:06,288
Great job, Bess.
717
00:33:06,332 --> 00:33:08,334
You brought honor to our dead.
718
00:33:09,335 --> 00:33:10,727
So...
719
00:33:10,771 --> 00:33:13,121
why the "we've
got trouble" face?
720
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:16,081
Not "we" this time.
721
00:33:16,124 --> 00:33:17,734
Just you.
722
00:33:18,735 --> 00:33:21,651
L'affaire Pynchon.
723
00:33:21,695 --> 00:33:23,740
I've been doing this long
enough to know the public
724
00:33:23,784 --> 00:33:27,527
doesn't usually take cabinet
secretaries' families to task
725
00:33:27,570 --> 00:33:29,616
for administration policies.
726
00:33:31,183 --> 00:33:33,402
Well, it's a brave new world.
727
00:33:33,446 --> 00:33:35,056
Yeah, and a treacherous one.
728
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:36,927
So I played a cynical hunch.
729
00:33:36,971 --> 00:33:39,104
Had one of my people
dig into the guy
730
00:33:39,147 --> 00:33:41,410
who gave Henry
and Stevie the boot.
731
00:33:41,454 --> 00:33:44,196
Pynchon owner Trevor Bentley
was college roommates
732
00:33:44,239 --> 00:33:47,329
with Senator Owen Callister.
733
00:33:47,373 --> 00:33:48,765
Yep.
734
00:33:48,809 --> 00:33:50,419
Well, that doesn't
necessarily...
735
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:51,899
Keep reading.
736
00:33:55,685 --> 00:33:59,428
They share season
tickets to the Caps.
737
00:33:59,472 --> 00:34:01,735
And... vacation together
738
00:34:01,778 --> 00:34:03,824
every summer in Rehoboth.
739
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:06,957
Well, it looks like I need
to have a little talk
740
00:34:07,001 --> 00:34:09,656
with the senator.Yeah. I'm gonna urge
against that.
741
00:34:11,832 --> 00:34:14,530
He took a cheap shot
at my family, Russell.
742
00:34:14,574 --> 00:34:16,576
Because he wants
to draw you out.
743
00:34:16,619 --> 00:34:18,056
You know why?
744
00:34:20,145 --> 00:34:23,191
Because he suspects I'm running.
745
00:34:23,235 --> 00:34:25,150
And he probably is, too.
746
00:34:26,325 --> 00:34:27,978
Which is why he's taking shots,
747
00:34:28,022 --> 00:34:29,458
hoping you'll defend yourself,
748
00:34:29,502 --> 00:34:32,461
which you can't do
until you've declared.
749
00:34:32,505 --> 00:34:33,905
Because there's a
difference between
750
00:34:33,941 --> 00:34:35,638
being a Secretary of State
and a candidate.
751
00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:37,858
You're debating him
on the campaign trail,
752
00:34:37,901 --> 00:34:39,181
you can call him out
on anything,
753
00:34:39,207 --> 00:34:42,428
but a cabinet secretary
getting personal, well,
754
00:34:42,471 --> 00:34:45,039
that smacks of bad judgment
and plays into his hands.
755
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:47,737
I can't let this go unanswered.
No.
756
00:34:49,130 --> 00:34:52,264
But you don't have to be
the one who answers.
757
00:34:52,307 --> 00:34:54,701
Hey, Kat. Come on in.
758
00:34:54,744 --> 00:34:57,791
To what do I owe the honor?
759
00:34:57,834 --> 00:35:01,969
Just the Secretary of
State's sense of restraint.
760
00:35:02,012 --> 00:35:04,972
I'm sorry?
761
00:35:05,015 --> 00:35:06,452
Senator, you've been
a vocal critic
762
00:35:06,495 --> 00:35:08,976
of the Dalton administration.
763
00:35:09,019 --> 00:35:12,371
And, I will continue to be so.
764
00:35:12,414 --> 00:35:13,546
I'm assuming you're familiar
765
00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:15,635
with the concept
of loyal opposition?
766
00:35:15,678 --> 00:35:17,637
I'm very familiar with it, sir.
767
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,856
Except the only thing
you've opposed
768
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:22,337
is our foreign policy.
769
00:35:22,381 --> 00:35:24,470
Yeah, trade deals,
peace treaties,
770
00:35:24,513 --> 00:35:26,646
immigration initiatives.
771
00:35:26,689 --> 00:35:29,170
I'm a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
772
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:30,780
You're also on agriculture.
773
00:35:30,824 --> 00:35:33,087
And one of Kentucky's biggest
industries is farming,
774
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,263
and yet, not a word about
subsidies or price controls
775
00:35:35,307 --> 00:35:37,178
or anything that would
play to your base.
776
00:35:37,222 --> 00:35:39,615
Just foreign policy.
777
00:35:41,008 --> 00:35:43,445
For the senator of
a landlocked state.
778
00:35:47,232 --> 00:35:49,669
You didn't block that aid
package out of principle;
779
00:35:49,712 --> 00:35:52,324
You did it because you knew
the mess you were making
780
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:55,022
would land on Secretary McCord,
and she'd be stained by it.
781
00:35:55,065 --> 00:35:56,110
What's your point?
782
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,243
You're running for president.
783
00:35:59,766 --> 00:36:01,855
And you're trying to eliminate
784
00:36:01,898 --> 00:36:04,031
someone you're afraid
could be your competition.
785
00:36:04,074 --> 00:36:06,686
Whoa. What... Whatever
I may or may not be doing,
786
00:36:06,729 --> 00:36:10,211
I certainly don't have
to explain myself
787
00:36:10,255 --> 00:36:12,735
to a cabinet secretary's
policy advisor.
788
00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:15,999
And a queer Latinx woman
at that. Wow.
789
00:36:16,043 --> 00:36:17,610
Everything you hate.
790
00:36:17,653 --> 00:36:20,221
It must be really hard for you.
791
00:36:20,265 --> 00:36:23,311
Squeezing you in today,
Kat, was a courtesy.
792
00:36:23,355 --> 00:36:25,835
A concept you seem
relatively unfamiliar with.
793
00:36:25,879 --> 00:36:29,012
If you have a message for me,
I suggest you send it.
794
00:36:29,056 --> 00:36:31,276
Well, then here it is.
You've made this personal.
795
00:36:31,319 --> 00:36:33,887
And if you ever use my
boss's family again,
796
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:36,585
the next visit you will
get will not be from me.
797
00:36:36,629 --> 00:36:39,240
It'll be from her, and she won't
be here as Secretary of State
798
00:36:39,284 --> 00:36:41,895
or as a candidate; She
will be here as a mother
799
00:36:41,938 --> 00:36:43,331
protecting her own.
800
00:36:43,375 --> 00:36:45,681
And believe me,
that is the one way
801
00:36:45,725 --> 00:36:48,380
you do not want to
meet Madam Secretary.
802
00:36:50,643 --> 00:36:52,601
Is that a threat?
803
00:36:52,645 --> 00:36:55,604
No, Senator.
804
00:36:55,648 --> 00:36:57,911
That was a gift.
805
00:37:05,745 --> 00:37:08,095
My father died for this
country, Madam Secretary,
806
00:37:08,138 --> 00:37:11,490
and this is the way
his nation repays him?
807
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:13,274
I'm so sorry.
808
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:16,103
But the all-powerful bureaucracy
809
00:37:16,146 --> 00:37:19,324
has spoken, right?
810
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:22,370
And they've branded
my father a coward.
811
00:37:22,414 --> 00:37:23,676
He wasn't a coward.
812
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,332
He was a hero!
813
00:37:34,339 --> 00:37:37,080
The only thing
that I have control of
814
00:37:37,124 --> 00:37:38,821
is what I tell you.
815
00:37:38,865 --> 00:37:40,606
I chose to tell you the truth,
816
00:37:40,649 --> 00:37:43,522
because I think
it is the least you are owed.
817
00:37:46,568 --> 00:37:49,484
But it doesn't
take away the pain.
818
00:37:49,528 --> 00:37:53,271
No. I don't imagine
that it does.
819
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:57,666
But I think that
we may have found a way
820
00:37:57,710 --> 00:38:00,713
to cushion the blow
just a little bit.
821
00:38:02,932 --> 00:38:06,980
Your father's file
will remain classified.
822
00:38:09,461 --> 00:38:11,593
But when people ask...
823
00:38:11,637 --> 00:38:15,554
why he's not in Arlington,
like everyone else,
824
00:38:15,597 --> 00:38:17,033
what do I say?
825
00:38:17,077 --> 00:38:20,602
You tell them that you opted
for a private family funeral
826
00:38:20,646 --> 00:38:22,561
in your hometown.
827
00:38:22,604 --> 00:38:25,172
And because
his record is sealed,
828
00:38:25,215 --> 00:38:27,087
the David Paley
Foundation's work,
829
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:29,394
the work that you
have devoted your life to,
830
00:38:29,437 --> 00:38:32,397
will continue in his name.
831
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,095
So his legacy is secure.
832
00:38:35,138 --> 00:38:36,488
Forever.
833
00:38:36,531 --> 00:38:39,491
And he's coming home, Gloria.
834
00:38:46,715 --> 00:38:48,848
Preliminary results
from congressional races
835
00:38:48,891 --> 00:38:51,416
have started to roll in.
836
00:38:51,459 --> 00:38:54,506
Hey. I thought you were
headed to Dover.
837
00:38:54,549 --> 00:38:56,203
Yeah, I am. I've got about...
838
00:38:56,246 --> 00:38:59,554
three minutes to get
dressed and grab a bar
839
00:38:59,598 --> 00:39:01,208
and get out the door.
840
00:39:01,251 --> 00:39:05,908
Don't you have an
election party to get to? No, I quit.
841
00:39:05,952 --> 00:39:07,214
Why?
842
00:39:07,257 --> 00:39:09,129
You know that student loan
forgiveness thing?
843
00:39:09,172 --> 00:39:10,130
Yeah.
844
00:39:10,173 --> 00:39:11,566
Pavano bailed on it.
845
00:39:13,481 --> 00:39:15,918
Your guy had clay feet?
846
00:39:15,962 --> 00:39:19,139
Not my guy. Not anymore.
847
00:39:19,182 --> 00:39:21,576
I didn't even vote for him.
848
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:23,491
You voted for Winter?
849
00:39:23,535 --> 00:39:25,972
No. I didn't vote for anyone.
850
00:39:28,627 --> 00:39:29,932
What?
851
00:39:29,976 --> 00:39:33,675
All of these guys
are exactly the same, Mom.
852
00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:42,771
How much of what.
853
00:39:42,815 --> 00:39:44,947
Pavano stood for
did you believe in?
854
00:39:44,991 --> 00:39:46,471
It doesn't matter.
855
00:39:46,514 --> 00:39:49,125
That jerk bailed on his
loan forgiveness initiative.
856
00:39:49,169 --> 00:39:52,041
And my generation isn't putting
up with hypocrites anymore.
857
00:39:52,085 --> 00:39:53,695
It's a new day.
858
00:39:53,739 --> 00:39:56,219
So, say, 95%?
859
00:39:56,263 --> 00:39:58,004
You're not even listening to me.
860
00:39:58,047 --> 00:39:59,397
I got the gist.
861
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,921
Y-You're guy compromised,
862
00:40:01,964 --> 00:40:04,140
and...
863
00:40:04,184 --> 00:40:07,796
now you're checking out
of the process completely?
864
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,886
Look, there will be
other elections. No..
865
00:40:10,930 --> 00:40:12,758
Nope.
866
00:40:12,801 --> 00:40:15,935
I am sorry that you
were disillusioned.
867
00:40:15,978 --> 00:40:17,632
Get used to it, Alison,
868
00:40:17,676 --> 00:40:19,939
because democracy is flawed.
869
00:40:19,982 --> 00:40:22,768
And the next candidate
who doesn't let you down
870
00:40:22,811 --> 00:40:24,334
will be the first.
871
00:40:24,378 --> 00:40:26,685
I just flew halfway
around the world
872
00:40:26,728 --> 00:40:28,469
to recover the
bodies of patriots
873
00:40:28,513 --> 00:40:31,167
who gave their lives to
protect this country.
874
00:40:31,211 --> 00:40:34,388
They died along with
hundreds of thousands
875
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:36,477
of Americans in too many wars
876
00:40:36,521 --> 00:40:38,740
so Alison McCord could
have the right to vote.
877
00:40:38,784 --> 00:40:40,916
And you won't honor that
878
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,267
because your guy caved
on a single issue?
879
00:40:45,617 --> 00:40:47,619
My polling place
is in Silver Spring.
880
00:40:47,662 --> 00:40:50,360
I won't even make it in time. That's what a
motorcade is for.
881
00:40:50,404 --> 00:40:52,275
I'll drop you off
on my way to Dover.
882
00:40:52,319 --> 00:40:53,929
Get dressed.
883
00:41:26,832 --> 00:41:28,616
Present...
884
00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:30,052
arms!
885
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:55,817
Ready.
886
00:41:55,861 --> 00:41:57,384
Down.
887
00:42:02,781 --> 00:42:04,739
Ready.
888
00:42:04,783 --> 00:42:06,306
Cover.
889
00:42:08,047 --> 00:42:09,614
