I want a declaration, Roger.
So we can send them in.

But madam president...

I have the guard, fema and the epa

mobilised and waiting
on the outskirts of that town.

I just got off the phone
with the refinery.

The leak is well
on its way to burning off.

My understanding is
that the air quality is dangerous.

The levels are somewhat elevated, yes,
but the winds are in our favour.

And subject to change.
That's how wind works.

This will all be over in a day or two,

the idea of keeping
these families out of their homes...

This is a prudent precaution,

and on my watch,
that's what I want to happen.

I don't think
we should exaggerate the situation.

Do you remember where you were
on election night, governor?

Because I do. You were going to lose.

Statistically, there is no reason
you should have won.

Keep the phone away from your mouth
while you're thinking, governor.

I can hear you breathing.

Yes.

I do believe I need
to declare a state of emergency.

Of course, it's your call.

And I assure you, you will have the
full support of the federal government.

I promised myself
I wouldn't be like him.

That was textbook Francis, wasn't it?

But he handed me over to them
like a shaker of salt.

And now, they won't let go.

This is a wound of their own making.

Mr vice president?

Yeah. Come in.

Do you need a moment, sir?

No, no, what is it?

Okay.

Governor?

They said it was fine.

It smelled like rotten eggs and trash.
That's all.

You could smell it
coming out of the faucet.

And then my son, his nose
started to bleed, and I thought...

Where is your little boy right now?

He's in triage with his mom.

- He's my heart, that little guy.
- No, I know. I know.

But, ma'am, if I may,

you have to tell us.
Is this real, or not?

Because at first, they said
that we don't need to evacuate,

and then all of a sudden,
that we should.

I want you to know everything is
going to be all right. I promise you.

We were relying on that plant
to keep us informed.

Sir, you and your safety
is the most important thing.

In fact,
all of the families of bellport,

nothing else matters.

I want to give my thanks
to governor olmstead

for his quick and decisive act
this morning

in declaring a state of emergency.

We have fema, we have epa,
the Ohio national guard.

They're all here.

No one should ever feel unsafe...

In her own home.

- And how is it you have no idea, Mark?
- It doesn't matter.

It does matter.
It speaks to this untenable arrangement.

Later, lsaid.
Let's stay focused on our response.

She was all set
to sign the bill this morning.

We had photographers, a press pool
waiting, the whole thing.

But she didn't sign it, did she?

I'm on my way there now.

Because she was too busy manufacturing
an emergency out of nothing.

Look, let's not forget
who escalated this, okay?

Excuse me?

If we're working together, bill,
I need to be included in every decision.

- Every one.
- This conversation's over.

For god's sakes.

I'll join Annette in bel/port.

No, you won't. One of you
showing up on site is bad enough.

Annette, call me back.

Mark? Mark, are you still there?

Yes.

Let me talk to him. I'll circle back.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Kelsey Stewart.

I am the deputy press secretary, and
I will be taking your questions today.

Sarah.

Is it true that governor olmstead

was resistant to
declaring a state of emergency?

The governor did declare
a state of emergency

and the white house concurs.

Something very wrong
happened in that plant. Yes.

Arcas has been slow
to provide any details

when it comes to the leak and explosion.

Not to mention the
two lives lost in the accident.

Well, have they been
cooperating with the white house?

Now that the president
is on the ground,

it seems that, yes,
they have been more agreeable.

That's not the real question, though.

Somebody might want to ask,

where is
Shepherd unlimited in all of this?

The arcas refinery

is a subsidiary of
the family's conglomerate.

Are you saying that the Shepherds are

personally aware
of problems at the plant?

Who is responsible and how,
is all the white house and the president

are trying to find out at this point.

Will this have any effect on the
regulatory bill on the president's desk?

The president will be
speaking on that shortly. Marcus?

Was the president planning to
divorce the former president

in the days leading up to his death?

Let's...

- Mr vice president.
- Morning, everyone.

I hope miss Stewart won't mind me
taking a couple of questions.

Mr vice president! Mr vice president!

Mr vice president, one question.

Marcus, who's your source?

- Unnamed officials.
- Nope. We don't do that any more.

We need names. You have a name?

I mean really, where do you get this?

The former president
spent his last night alive,

next to his wife
in the white house. Period.

As for bellport,
let's not jump to conclusions

before all the facts are in. What else?

We're still going door-to-door,
but it's really a precaution.

Are there enough beds?

We have a few church basements,
and the local jail if we need more.

Whatever hydrogen sulphide there is
left in the air is already dissipating.

In a day or two, people will
be back, sleeping in their own beds.

You have to understand, madam president,

most everyone overreacts
when it comes to chemicals.

We have years of experience...

And the men who died in the accident?

That's tragic, of course.
They were valued employees.

Members of the community.
There's no way to replace them.

- And bill Shepherd?
- Yes?

Have you heard from him?

I've kept him informed,
as well as all of our partners.

Bill called me directly.

They're ready to do whatever's needed.
They're important to bellport.

They built the local stadium.
Even this gymnasium. They contribute...

No, I'm well aware of the family's
philanthropy. That wasn't the question.

Yes, mr Shepherd has been
monitoring the situation closely.

I would like to tour the area.

Is that a problem, governor?

No, no, not to my understanding.

I was hoping to get you over
to where we set up our triage.

- It might be best if we stick to...
- I'd actually like to see it for myself.

Unless, of course,
you tell me othenlvise?

No, of course not.

The guard
marks the doors of the evacuees.

Pretty standard procedure.

Stop the car. I think I see someone.

Stop the car.

Madam president,
we'll have someone circle back.

Stop the car, now.

Damn it.

- Is she safe?
- Nothing is 100% safe.

Hello? Anyone here?

The boy could have lost an eye.

That's not how we treat people.

- How could she?
- My god, Elizabeth, stop it.

- Am I raising a daughter, or an animal?
- They're the animals!

- The way they attacked her.
- Of course, take her side.

Of course!
It's time she learned about the world.

Pretty girls have a responsibility
to their beauty.

I'll bet she dared those boys.
Shame on her.

Why can't you just do as you're told?

Why, indeed?

Madam president? Madam president?

Madam president,
might be best if we head back.

So, the house is safe?

Drink it, then.

I thought so.

- But what am I agreeing to?
- I can read it for you.

I can read. And, what's this for?

That lets the app figure out
how we can be the most helpful.

It can be tailored
to your specific needs.

We want to keep you informed.

We want you to know
what happens before it happens.

You can't trust
the government to do that.

- Hello, my name is Seth Grayson.
- Nice to meet you.

I'm with Shepherd freedom foundation,
can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah. Sure thing.

I was looking at the pamphlet,
saying just put in...

It's the president.

Madam president.

Whose idea was it?
To leave it on his bed?

Not here.

The Shepherd freedom foundation
is here to help.

The federal government
is here to help you.

Yes, madam president.

The only way america's problems
will be solved is through alliances

between government and private industry,
each doing its part.

The commander-in-chief
and I go way back.

We do. And I know I have the full
cooperation from the Shepherd family.

The blatant disregard for human life
exhibited by companies like arcas...

Arcas is committed
to the safety of its workers.

And with the help of
the right kind of legislation,

like the future act.

Which is under review at the moment.

Until then, I am hereby moving

the epa's criminal investigative
division into the Pentagon,

where it will enjoy the forces
and the resources of our military.

And they will investigate this disaster.

I swear on my husband's grave,
I will find out what happened here.

Thank you for your support.

I wanted to leave it on your bed.

Don't be thick, thick I can't use.

But did she actually ask for a divorce?

As if that matters.

And if I'm asked
to justify the question?

It was justified the moment
they didn't have an answer.

The last thing the president wants

is to be talking
about the former president.

Let me ask you this.

How did your mother feel

when the president
yanked her hand away like that?

That's none of your
goddamn business, Marcus.

- "Recoil"? Is that the word that you...
- Yeah, that's what I see.

- Are you kidding me?
- No.

Are we really gonna waste time
dissecting a gesture between two women?

Nora's right. I was there.
There wasn't a recoil.

I gotta agree with Tom here.

For me, it's Annette Shepherd
sort of manhandling the president

and, as a sign of victory,
and then I detect a flinch.

- A slight flinch, then recoil.
- Recoil? I mean...

She's trying to separate herself
from the primary source of funding

for what was to be
the Francis j. Unden/vood foundation.

This is about culpability.

She went to bel/port
to hold those responsible accountable.

Companies like Shepherd unlimited
have been hamstrung.

And that's why this
bill on her desk is so important.

Legislation means nothing
without proper enforcement.

Weaponising the epa is wrong-headed.
And it does nothing to make plants...

Instead of ascribing
negative motives to her every action,

why can't we just accept

that president unden/vood
was out there being presidential?

She put the fear of god into you
and your new friends, mr Grayson.

Being "presidential" means
signing the bill,

- and modernising antiquated regulations.
- As if you would know.

What's that supposed to mean?

Her husband, whose
administration you were a part of was...

Was in the midst of setting up
a philanthropic foundation.

Her husband was about to be indicted.

Excuse me?
There wasn't even a grand jury.

I have it on good authority
he was about to be indicted,

and she was about to pardon him.

But she also wanted a divorce.
To save herself distance herself

because, come on. Are you telling me
she knew nothing of what he was up to?

If he was guilty,

- she was guilty.
- Tom? Tom,

I have great respect for you,
and the work you've done at the herald.

But are you even capable
of defining her on her own terms?

Well, I'm sorry. One minute,
she's playing the grieving widow,

and the next,
she's riding on the coattails...

- Case in point.
- This may be an unseemly thing to say,

but it's quite possible
her husband's death

was the president's lucky day.

You can say whatever you want in here.
Whatever you're feeling, thinking.

I'm questioning your ability.

My ability?

To tell the difference
between justifiable paranoia and...

Do you use the word any more?

"Madness?"

- What do you feel paranoid about?
- Myself, maybe.

Why we do what we do, and for who?

Who's more evil, doctor,
the taskmaster or the tasked?

Do you feel like Francis undennood
betrayed you?

I guess I'm wondering who betrayed him.

Who do you think?

You?

I don't know if these sessions
are helping me any more.

Why are you
trying to drug me up, doctor?

I think you should consider it.

Clozapine? You must know
what that does to a person.

They're a new class
of antipsychotics, Doug.

The side effects are not as
sensational as some of the older ones.

You don't have to suffer like this.

No. From my understanding,

the side effects themselves
can make you look...

And again, I'm asking you
if you use the word, "mad".

- Are you fucking kidding me?
- Pardon?

You're gonna talk to me
about side effects,

while you look at your fucking clock?

No, you're right. I'm sorry.

We're gonna have to
take this up tomorrow afternoon.

This is a much bigger conversation.

No, I'm talking, now.

- I'm sorry, but your time is up.
- I don't give a fuck about the time.

Mr stamper. I'm glad that
you finally decided to take advantage

of your time here,
but you know the rules.

- I'm not going anywhere.
- Mr stamper, please.

I don't want to have to call someone,
but I will.

This is bullshit.

Your uncle is not happy.

Are you aware of
how many of your sentences

- start with you quoting him?
- He's right.

- This circus backfired.
- I thought you were wonderful.

Well, your uncle thinks
we've made a bad situation worse.

Now, I'm the face of this thing.

Which we will use to our advantage.

She called us out by name.

We can spin it any way we want.
Work the congress.

Even if she vetoes the bill,
they can override it.

- She overreacted.
- And it made a fool of me.

I'm telling you, you won.

She thinks she did.

I know that expression, trust me.

She can't decide
if she's lady Macbeth or Macbeth.

Your uncle takes it from here.

No. This isn't personal for me,
not like it is for you and uncle bill.

You know he hates the spotlight,
for any of us.

Prefers an old school way
of dealing with things.

- I...
- And don't think you know everything.

Because you don't.

Let me talk to uncle bill.

He's taken a suite at the hay-Adams.
Frank's old room.

It's Doug stamper, madam us attorney.

- How did you get this number?
- Don't hang up.

The next call I expect
is from your lawyer,

- in my office.
- You really shouldn't.

- Mr stamper, this is highly...
- I'm going to recant.

- Are you there?
- Yes.

I'm going to lay out
how this is going to go.

And you stop me at any point
if I'm wrong.

But I'm going to recant.

Which means that you're
going to need a new prosecutor.

Because you're going
to have to recuse yourself,

so you can testify against me.

And this call we're on,

is not going to look very good for you.

Anything you say in court
will be ruled hearsay.

And the judge, if he's in a good mood,
is going to ask for more evidence,

and you and your new prosecutor
aren't going to have any.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

This case isn't
going to make your career.

The case that's going change your life
is the prosecution of Claire unden/vood.

It's gruesome, what's gone on here.

I checked all the log books myself.

I spoke with the executive housekeeper,

she interviewed the staff.
Nobody knows anything.

So, his ring just appeared
on his bed by magic?

My feeling is,

it's not the fact of it
that we should be focusing on,

but what it means.

Tell me, Mark. What kind of people
dig up a man's grave,

and remove a ring
from his cold hard finger?

The same people that are generating
this drum beat about Francis' pardon

and your divorce.

You are daring them.

You've turned it into a spectacle,
and now, they will not stop.

Believe me. These people will not rest.
You need to make amends.

For slighting her? For identifying them?

- You have to give them something.
- I don't believe in the bill.

Goddamn it. This bill.
Are you listening?

Do you want to spend
the rest of your presidency

defending your dead husband,
defending his deeds?

Because they will make sure that
every waking and even sleeping moment

of your time in the white house
is about him!

Make amends for the last 100 days.

Then you can have the next four years.

When you present the scholarship
at the take aim club this weekend,

Annette Shepherd will be there.
She's on the board. They're all donors.

Appear with your old friend,
and sign this bill.

You know,
I can help you with the Shepherds.

I know how to talk to them.

And please,
please explain to me why you thought

putting that elevated intern in front
of the press yesterday serves you.

- Because she's honest.
- I had Mitch glazer lined up.

- He's got 30 years of...
- Because she's not Mitch.

Because I know you pushed out Sean.

Sean jeffries had
a hard time telling the truth.

- Your truth?
- Yes, the one that keeps you in power.

And now, what?

We've traded
his ambition for her naiveté?

I believe her.
And so will everyone else.

- I'm sorry, do you need me to...
- No, actually, I was looking for you.

I wanted to apologise for yesterday.

No, please,
I was happy to have your help.

Okay.

- You know Sean's not coming back, right?
- I heard.

The president must see something in you.

What do you think that is?

It was an amazing opportunity.

And I've heard there are some
wonderful candidates for the position.

Yeah. Well, until then,

why don't you continue on
as acting press secretary.

Of course. Yes, sir.

And thank you and the president.

Do you believe in her, miss Stewart?

I do.

I ask because

I want you to know
there are powerful forces out there

that are invested in seeing her fail.

So, you're gonna hear rumours.
You're gonna hear innuendos.

You'll need to stick
to your talking points.

Not get lured off-track with, what?
Salacious questions.

I understand.

Right now,
I'm the de facto chief of staff.

So, if you need help or advice,

you know where to find me. Good luck.

Thank you.

There's a fire burning
in the valley outside of Los Angeles.

So, the foundation sends volunteers in,
we sign them up for the app.

How many signed up in bellport?

In and around the area,
like, close to 50,000 phones.

But beside the fires,
there's flooding in the panhandle.

It's been raining for days.

There's a pipeline
that's burst in north Dakota.

And my nephew came up with this?

Well, it's based on
pre-existing technology,

but he saw the potential.

Essentially, they're
handing over their phones,

which, as you know,

is basically an extension
of the self at this point.

I mean, Duncan calls them
the sarcophagi of our souls.

We'll be crawling peoples' phones.

You get to decide what people see,
and when.

Did frank take
this room because of the view?

Yes, I think he did.

You respected him.

- Did you fear him?
- Yes.

But you always knew
where you stood with him.

And her?

You never know.

Did the workers
at the plant sign up for the app?

- Most of them did, yes.
- Good. Good.

I'm glad you're working with us, Seth.

Your perspective
when it comes to the undennoods,

my nephew...

I appreciate it.

- Retired agents?
- They're freelance, now.

Working for nexis securities.
A lot of guys do it.

Apparently, these two
have been on the ground in gaffney

for the last week or so.

- Hired by whom?
- We don't know yet.

But they're making enough
so that one of them

just purchased a second home
on the chesapeake bay.

They broke into
your gaffney residence, ma'am.

What? Where was secret service?
And why wasn't I alerted?

Because no one was alerted.

They left it completely untouched,
as far as anyone can tell.

How did you know anyone was there, then?

An insomniac neighbour

who spotted the light
from a phone screen inside.

Taking pictures, I'm assuming.

My, my, my.

Night life in gaffney
certainly has picked up.

Started when I was a kid.

Whenever the opportunity
would present itself,

I'd slip my hand into a coat pocket
to see what I could find.

A stranger's pocket
is a window into his soul.

And what did you find?

Condoms. Mints. Keys.

Did you steal what you found?

Not the mints.
Because that would be cruel.

Was that you...
On the way to the airport?

Were you trying to teach her a lesson?

- Talk to bill.
- Come on.

I already did.

- She's late.
- Yeah, she's the president.

You know, you have a weakness
for strong women.

No, really...

You think they need your help.

Really? Still?

No. I chew now.

I just like to play with this.

Wait.

She's here.

Madam president, Duncan Shepherd.

Hello.

- Claire.
- Annette.

I see you've met Duncan.

- Shall we?
- Yes.

Don't ever recoil from me again.

Ain't 50 nifty?

I think the last time
you dragged me into a bathroom,

it was to show off your hickey.

I don't think your brother
is gonna let up, Annette.

Until he gets
his ring kissed directly, I think.

Reminds me of someone
you were married to.

No. Bill and Francis
are very different people.

Agreed.

You know I slept with him once.

Your brother?

Your husband.

I know.

Interesting.

Though, come to think of it,
I guess it makes sense.

What does?

That your marriage allowed for that.

Well, it was the '98 campaign.
Francis was facing a robust challenger,

and there you were,
at some DC fundraiser or other.

It was the union station, east hall.

Yes. And there you were,
dangling your chequebook.

So, it sounds like
a favourable transaction all around.

- Is that what he told you?
- Well, I never asked for details.

I mean, I was curious. I really was.

He was a good kisser, I'll say that.

But then the rest was so undenlvhelming.

Felt like he wasn't all there.

Like, he wasn't all in, so to speak.

Of course, my first thought,
and isn't this true of most women?

Was to wonder if it was me.

Was I somehow less skilled
than I like to believe I am?

Well, I can't really
answer to that, Annette.

I can. It was him.

And, I bet it was
never very different with you.

Even you. The blonde goddess.

Even with you. Am I right?

It's really only dawning on me now.

The sacrifice you made.

I sort of pity you.

What you must have denied yourself
all those years.

And this is where I tell you
to shut your mouth, Annette.

You don't know
anything about marriage, much less mine.

Tell yourself whatever you want, Claire.

We both know the truth.

He's waiting for you
down the hall in the prep kitchen.

My brother.

I can still do it, by the way.

Can you?

Well, you missed dinner.

I can have them
make you whatever you like.

I'm not hungry.

The secret here,
is how much lemon juice you put in.

Balance out the butter.

People and hollandaise.

They think it tastes like money.

A night at the hotel.

What were you looking for?

There's nothing in
the gaffney home of value.

Frank did things. And you just, what?

Looked the other way?

That shot you took at me,

it's not like you to be so reckless.

You don't scare easy.

The future of our country is at stake.

Does that sound pat to you? Naive?

No, not at all.

Do you think I don't
have friends at the Pentagon, Claire?

You may want to make my four years
in office miserable...

All I want you to do
is behave as promised.

You can dig up a ring, or
whatever else you can get your hands on,

but that doesn't mean I won't
make your time a living hell, as well.

Raymond tusk said about you one time,

some dinner we were at,
he just said it in passing...

This is where I'm supposed to be
a little bit afraid of the answer,

he said, "I don't know
whether or not she's a person,

"or just playing the part of one."

And I thought it was so strange
at the time, but maybe it's true.

Just...

Unreachable.

I know it'll be hard for you,

but you're going to
have to treat me as an equal, bill.

What did you do
with your husband's will?

It was a revocable trust.

- All done.
- I'm not talking about that one.

I'm talking about the other one.
The new one.

Bet Doug stamper would love
to see the contents of that one.

What's in there, anyway,

that you would go to such lengths
to keep him from it?

Claire hale has a secret.

Douglas stamper is meeting
with the us district attorney,

as we speak.

He's out, Claire,
and he's not going back in.

Now, you need my help.

Later tonight,
I'm going to watch you sign that bill

that's sitting on your desk.

"To the dead, a kingdom means nothing.

"They have their requiem, and eternity."

That's Macbeth. The opera, not the play.

All you have to do now,
is just go on out there,

with your oldest, dearest friend,

and hold her hand up high.

Take aim has
a quality history of scholarship.

Most of the alumni are successful...

Madam president? You don't
really think the military is irrelevant?

I watched your confirmation
from my chambers for the UN.

Wasn't my finest hour.

Well, he who laughs loudest.
Or is it "laughs last"?

"Last". "She".

- Vincent abruzzo.
- Ninth circuit.

I am no good at functions like this.

I tend to find a chair at these things

and sit in it
for the rest of the evening.

Madam president?

Yes, well, it's been a pleasure.

Madam president, if I may say,

I'm so glad that we finally
have a woman in the oval office.

The arc of history is long, but...

The reign of the middle-aged
white man is over.

The bill Shepherds of the world
who won't let go, have to go.

Does anyone except you know
about the document that came for him?

No, of course, not.

Because if anyone else
gets their hand on that will...

That is strictly between us.

We only just discovered
that he was missing.

I put a call in to the us attorney
and was just informed,

charges have been dropped.

How is that even possible?

I thought I'd lost my phone
a couple of days ago,

but now, I'm certain that he took it
and reached out to make a deal.

I can have a grand jury impanelled,

and we can be taking testimony
from witnesses within a week.

Who do you have? Secretary durant?

And others.

I'm sure I don't need to talk to you
about what's right, or wrong.

But in my experience,
most people, in the end,

will do whatever they need to,
to save themselves.

Do you think you have
a strong enough case?

That depends on you.

If I'm gonna put myself on the line,
I need to know that you're going to win.

This can be a very unforgiving town.

I'm giving you a chance to start over.

I can offer you immunity
for your testimony.

But mr stamper, of course,

I can't give you any guarantees
when it comes to your reputation.

Or that of the former president.

You would have to testify
in an open court. That is the deal.

I should consult with my lawyers.

Thank you for your time, mr stamper.

Join us in supporting the Dallas
scholarship fund for young women,

take aim.

Look at these marvellous faces.
The faces of our future.

And I am so, so honoured

to be chosen to introduce to you,

the president of the United States,
Claire undennood.

I look at these brilliant young women,
and words fail me.

What's this? They gave us these.

What are they gonna do?

Yeah, I'm not drinking the water,
no fucking way, I'll tell you that.

I'll go all the way
to canton to buy it, if I have to.

And, mr Grayson,
what else did he tell you about the app?

Nothing. You can go online
and check it out.

'Cause a lot of the people I know

signed up for it
even after the president left.

He said...

Mr Grayson?

Yeah, him.

That they were gonna tell us
what was gonna happen before it happens.

How?

Look, I don't know.

Ithaca's, like, where?

There's one in Greece.

And the other's in upstate New York.

Guess which one I'm from.

It's a paper, it comes out once a week.

It was gonna happen,
because it happened before.

We complained all the way to the epa,
but, whatever.

Only this time, the explosion was bad.

And yeah, some guys died.
And the company knew.

They knew.

Welcome home.

Good timing. I just put on coffee.

Little late for coffee.

Well, we have so much to talk about.

I'm glad you're out, Doug.

I don't know
what you were doing in there.

How's the us attorney?

Secretary durant's
negotiating her appearance.

And if
Cathy should somehow be dissuaded?

- Silenced?
- Then it all goes away.

Yes, but they'll still want to know
who knew what, when.

I feel pretty clear.

You think it was me
who asked you to take the fall

just because I said the words, right?

He told me it was you.

- He whispered it in my ear.
- And you believed him.

Like you always believed him.

Well, here's what I believe.

Zoe Barnes killed herself,
in one sense...

And I expected to be
pardoned for the rest.

Since his death,
my hands have been tied.

But I believe the universe
has given us a gift.

I don't know what that means.

Well,

we both lost someone
who shaped the course of our lives.

For good, but also, for ill.

And now, here we are, unexpectedly free.

To take a different tack.

We can do whatever we want, Doug.

And we've been entwined, you and I.

Like it or not, for decades now.

But I think
we deserve to go our separate ways.

The only problem is,

we have something urgent to
attend to called Cathy durant.

And then we can finally be free.

Do what we really want.
Do what we need to do.

What does Doug stamper want?

Are you trying to erase him?

Because you can't.

I'm not trying to do anything

except be the sitting president
of the United States.

It's wrong to assume

Francis' ambitions
directly aligned with mine, Doug.

The best way to not to be associated
with his questionable deeds,

is to do good.
That's what I plan to do, anyway.

You find that funny, do you?
Well, it's true.

I never understood what he saw in you.

I mean the outside, sure.

But the inside...

Leann's death.

No. You never cared for her.

It wasn't necessary. And I told him so.

And yet...

Doug, do me a favour.

Close your eyes.

Please.

He wanted you to have them.

For this to happen
at this point in your life,

the prognosis is not good.

I know.

Somebody killed Francis,
and yet they don't want him to die.

That last night, the last time we spoke,

was when I declined
his phone call in the oval office.

It had been close to two months,
and he was tired of waiting.

So, he showed up here
in the white house, like a thief.

It was terrifying.

He was furious, slurring his words.

"Why can't you do
as you're told, Claire?"

I told the world
that he died in our bed,

but that's not the truth.

I locked myself in my room that night,

woke up in the morning
and found him dead in his.

They killed him to shut me up.

I need to Bury Francis,
once and for all.

Do you need help signing it?

No. Bill. Shepherd, enough.

I actually have one condition.

Put it back.
