Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,628 --> 00:00:13,869
Speaking Arabic...
2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,074
3
00:00:35,632 --> 00:00:37,555
Have we confirmed
the type of bomb?
4
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:39,701
Preliminary forensics
indicate a CBU-87
5
00:00:39,786 --> 00:00:41,225
anti-personnel
submunition dispenser.
6
00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:42,791
Conventionally known
as a cluster bomb.
7
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:45,142
Yeah, and the U.S. houses
the only company in the world
8
00:00:45,227 --> 00:00:46,317
that manufactures it.
9
00:00:46,402 --> 00:00:47,883
A weapon we provide
only to Israel.
10
00:00:47,968 --> 00:00:50,234
Which means our closest
Mideast ally just implicated us
11
00:00:50,319 --> 00:00:52,671
in a massacre that took the
lives of 29 innocent children,
12
00:00:52,756 --> 00:00:54,760
and if we provided the weapon,
we're on the hook.
13
00:00:54,845 --> 00:00:58,720
Call the Israeli Embassy.
Get Ambassador Dworsky in here.
14
00:00:58,805 --> 00:01:00,287
Ma'am, we've been trying.
He's incommunicado.
15
00:01:00,372 --> 00:01:01,810
Well, then we're gonna have to
16
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:04,900
get him on the fly because,
Jay, I got to brief POTUS.
17
00:01:04,985 --> 00:01:07,425
Will you bring our congressional
allies into the loop?
18
00:01:07,511 --> 00:01:08,478
- Yes, Madam Secretary.
- Okay.
19
00:01:08,564 --> 00:01:09,601
- Kat?
- Yes. Yes.
20
00:01:09,686 --> 00:01:12,691
And Blake. Want you
to reach out to the families
21
00:01:12,776 --> 00:01:14,368
of those children. I mean,
22
00:01:14,454 --> 00:01:16,956
burial logistics,
humanitarian relief,
23
00:01:17,041 --> 00:01:19,274
whatever we can do
to show our solidarity.
24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,571
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
25
00:01:20,657 --> 00:01:21,829
Stay on point.
26
00:01:21,923 --> 00:01:23,136
Acknowledge the tragedy,
27
00:01:23,221 --> 00:01:24,923
but no acceptance
of responsibility
28
00:01:25,009 --> 00:01:27,048
until it has been
thoroughly investigated, okay?
29
00:01:27,134 --> 00:01:28,750
Statement for your review
to that very effect.
30
00:01:28,835 --> 00:01:30,173
Okay.
31
00:01:31,368 --> 00:01:33,774
Yeah, yeah. Th-That's g-good.
Get that out.
32
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:34,853
- Okay?
- Okay?
33
00:01:34,939 --> 00:01:36,154
Before
you send it out...
34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,274
Hey, listen,
this is a priority, okay?
35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,790
Everything else takes a back seat.
36
00:01:39,883 --> 00:01:42,044
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
37
00:01:46,685 --> 00:01:49,462
American imperialism
has to stop!
38
00:01:49,548 --> 00:01:52,339
We are the world's bully. Wait!
39
00:01:52,424 --> 00:01:55,243
Hey! Hey, you work with
the White House, right?
40
00:01:55,329 --> 00:01:57,540
I'm just a guy trying
to meet
41
00:01:57,625 --> 00:01:59,111
- his step quota.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
42
00:01:59,196 --> 00:02:00,782
one of the architects
43
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:01,957
of our immoral
foreign policy.
44
00:02:02,042 --> 00:02:03,118
If you'll excuse me...
45
00:02:03,204 --> 00:02:05,259
No, I will not excuse you.
46
00:02:05,421 --> 00:02:07,266
Neither will the children
you bombed.
47
00:02:07,352 --> 00:02:08,921
Oh, my God, you have no idea
what you're talking about.
48
00:02:09,006 --> 00:02:10,345
I have a right to my opinion.
49
00:02:10,431 --> 00:02:12,880
I'm not saying you don't,
but while you're out here
50
00:02:13,071 --> 00:02:15,897
smearing us,
I'm in there 16 hours a day
51
00:02:15,993 --> 00:02:18,595
actually trying to fix some of
the things you're raving about.
52
00:02:18,681 --> 00:02:21,716
An American-made
cluster bomb!
53
00:02:21,801 --> 00:02:23,931
This is your
issue du jour, right?
54
00:02:24,134 --> 00:02:25,868
Yesterday it was
Social Security.
55
00:02:25,954 --> 00:02:28,810
Last week, what,
the vaccine conspiracy.
56
00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:30,509
I'm holding government
accountable.
57
00:02:30,595 --> 00:02:31,867
Who's holding you
accountable?
58
00:02:31,953 --> 00:02:33,261
Well, certainly not
a government lackey.
59
00:02:33,346 --> 00:02:35,852
Let me tell you a thing or two
about this lackey.
60
00:02:36,422 --> 00:02:39,472
Syria is a dumpster fire,
Mr. President.
61
00:02:39,558 --> 00:02:42,133
You got the oppressive
Nussir regime
62
00:02:42,219 --> 00:02:45,328
locked in a brutal civil war
with rebel forces.
63
00:02:45,651 --> 00:02:48,047
Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah
64
00:02:48,132 --> 00:02:50,180
supporting the government.
The opposition forces
65
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:53,139
are backed by a U.S.-led
Western coalition.
66
00:02:53,224 --> 00:02:56,828
Meanwhile, Iran's smuggling
arms to Israel's enemies
67
00:02:56,914 --> 00:02:59,493
through the country
and Israel's bombing the convoys
68
00:02:59,578 --> 00:03:00,782
as fast as it can.
69
00:03:00,868 --> 00:03:03,305
Syria and Israel
are still technically
70
00:03:03,391 --> 00:03:04,446
in a state of war.
71
00:03:04,532 --> 00:03:07,383
Russia is trying to expand
its role in the region.
72
00:03:07,469 --> 00:03:09,516
You got Shiites
and Sunnis
73
00:03:09,619 --> 00:03:12,578
and a rising tide
of Islamic terrorism.
74
00:03:12,664 --> 00:03:14,297
I'd need a weekend retreat
to talk about
75
00:03:14,383 --> 00:03:15,626
the human rights
violations and...
76
00:03:15,711 --> 00:03:16,953
Basically,
77
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:19,375
U.S. and Russia
are using client states
78
00:03:19,461 --> 00:03:21,797
to control an unstable region.
79
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:24,377
Danger is that
the proxies drag us
80
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:26,071
into a conflict
with Russia.
81
00:03:26,158 --> 00:03:27,379
Concise.
82
00:03:27,526 --> 00:03:28,746
Here to help.
83
00:03:28,832 --> 00:03:30,867
Russia's already
using this incident
84
00:03:30,953 --> 00:03:31,985
as a pretext
85
00:03:32,071 --> 00:03:33,907
to expand military support
to Syria.
86
00:03:33,993 --> 00:03:35,867
If Russia gets more
involved with Syria...
87
00:03:35,953 --> 00:03:38,492
We have to back Israel,
which increases the risk
88
00:03:38,578 --> 00:03:40,110
of an American conflict
with Russia.
89
00:03:40,196 --> 00:03:42,672
Which it's bedrock
U.S. policy to avoid.
90
00:03:42,758 --> 00:03:45,907
Dozens of dead children?
There has to be accountability.
91
00:03:46,573 --> 00:03:48,534
Bess, what do we hear
from the Israelis?
92
00:03:48,767 --> 00:03:51,360
I've summoned Ambassador
Dworsky. I'll get his side.
93
00:03:51,446 --> 00:03:52,454
Well, get it fast.
94
00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:54,938
Henry, you familiar with the
Convention on Cluster Munitions
95
00:03:55,024 --> 00:03:57,149
banning the use
of this type of weapon?
96
00:03:57,273 --> 00:04:00,412
Yes, sir. 120 signatories
around the world,
97
00:04:00,498 --> 00:04:03,188
excluding the United States
and Russia.
98
00:04:03,274 --> 00:04:04,782
Well, I'd like you
to red team this,
99
00:04:04,868 --> 00:04:07,016
get with DNI. I want
to know how this happened.
100
00:04:07,102 --> 00:04:08,811
Tragedy of this dimension
means that we need
101
00:04:08,896 --> 00:04:10,857
to re-evaluate our stance here.
102
00:04:11,098 --> 00:04:12,232
Mr. President,
103
00:04:12,318 --> 00:04:14,391
not to minimize
the human toll here,
104
00:04:14,477 --> 00:04:16,586
but this question has been
asked and answered.
105
00:04:16,672 --> 00:04:18,696
Resoundingly. U.S. policy
is not to limit
106
00:04:18,782 --> 00:04:20,836
the weapons
at our disposal.
107
00:04:20,926 --> 00:04:23,235
Folks, I value your input,
108
00:04:23,461 --> 00:04:25,430
but let's save it
for your roundtable.
109
00:04:25,772 --> 00:04:27,336
- Thank you so mch.
- Yes, sir.
110
00:04:30,648 --> 00:04:33,934
I'll be rolling calls on this
cluster bomb debacle, Adele,
111
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:36,282
so no interruptions.
If it ain't DEFCON 1,
112
00:04:36,368 --> 00:04:38,133
- not a peep.
- Yes, sir.
113
00:04:38,219 --> 00:04:39,969
That goes for all birds.
114
00:04:42,175 --> 00:04:43,813
I have to show him, don't I?
115
00:04:50,821 --> 00:04:52,321
What did I just say?
116
00:04:52,930 --> 00:04:54,867
I know. I'm sorry.
117
00:04:55,232 --> 00:04:56,977
Nothing but
crackpot notions.
118
00:04:57,078 --> 00:04:58,078
Excuse me.
119
00:04:58,164 --> 00:04:59,910
No, I'm not calling you
a crackpot.
120
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:02,524
There's plenty of well-adjusted,
sane individuals
121
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:04,227
who set up tents
around the White House.
122
00:05:04,313 --> 00:05:07,086
- I have a right to be here.
- Yes, you do,
123
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:09,258
where
criticizing is easy.
124
00:05:09,344 --> 00:05:11,261
Governing is hard.
125
00:05:11,381 --> 00:05:13,774
Put that on your
next sign and smoke it.
126
00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:18,125
That...
127
00:05:18,403 --> 00:05:20,755
that is taken completely
out of context.
128
00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:22,465
She accosted me.
129
00:05:23,853 --> 00:05:25,180
Oh, my God, I look like
130
00:05:25,266 --> 00:05:26,735
I'm berating a homeless woman
131
00:05:26,821 --> 00:05:28,430
for having the nerve
to talk to me.
132
00:05:28,664 --> 00:05:29,991
You know what?
I will handle this.
133
00:05:30,083 --> 00:05:32,969
Please. I don't have
time for this nonsense.
134
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:35,125
Carol.
135
00:05:36,203 --> 00:05:38,466
This is all over
the Internet, isn't it?
136
00:05:41,955 --> 00:05:44,612
Hi, sweetheart. What?
137
00:05:45,016 --> 00:05:46,992
No, I was drinking decaf.
138
00:05:47,404 --> 00:05:51,164
Yes. Of course I know that-that
getting into shouting matches
139
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:53,414
with strangers is bad
for my blood pressure.
140
00:05:53,612 --> 00:05:56,821
I do not have an
anger management problem!
141
00:05:57,070 --> 00:06:00,805
The United States would
like to extend our condolences
142
00:06:00,891 --> 00:06:02,502
for this tragedy.
143
00:06:06,844 --> 00:06:07,875
Thank you.
144
00:06:07,961 --> 00:06:10,203
Um, we would also like
to connect the families
145
00:06:10,289 --> 00:06:12,219
who have lost children with NGOs
146
00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:13,569
who can
provide support.
147
00:06:13,655 --> 00:06:15,446
Yes. They can defray
funeral costs.
148
00:06:15,532 --> 00:06:17,961
They can assist
with asylum claims.
149
00:06:19,559 --> 00:06:20,953
What about our children?
150
00:06:21,657 --> 00:06:24,007
We're expressing
our deepest sympathies.
151
00:06:29,352 --> 00:06:30,450
Sympathies.
152
00:06:30,536 --> 00:06:33,498
For an American-made bomb
that murdered our sons,
153
00:06:33,685 --> 00:06:35,657
that took the flowers
from our garden,
154
00:06:35,743 --> 00:06:37,375
the light from our lives.
155
00:06:39,246 --> 00:06:42,477
We don't want NGOs.
We want justice.
156
00:06:43,609 --> 00:06:46,938
We want our children back.
Can you give us these things?
157
00:06:56,685 --> 00:06:58,906
Uh, ma'am,
I have Alison for you.
158
00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:02,723
Hey, kiddo,
little busy here.
159
00:07:02,809 --> 00:07:06,098
Mom, the Internet is slow,
like Stone Age slow.
160
00:07:06,223 --> 00:07:07,575
Well, call our provider.
161
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:09,466
They keep you on the phone
forever,
162
00:07:09,552 --> 00:07:11,513
and my paper on Givenchy
is due tomorrow.
163
00:07:13,659 --> 00:07:15,020
Try the library.
164
00:07:15,106 --> 00:07:16,936
They have Internet and helpful,
165
00:07:17,022 --> 00:07:19,170
smiling people who aren't trying
to save the world order
166
00:07:19,255 --> 00:07:20,169
from crumbling.
167
00:07:20,255 --> 00:07:21,520
Bye, Ali.
168
00:07:22,372 --> 00:07:25,270
Jason, do you know how
to fix the Internet?
169
00:07:26,153 --> 00:07:28,817
Well, the open-source culture
generally doesn't mesh well
170
00:07:28,903 --> 00:07:32,231
with WPA supplicant
configuration files.
171
00:07:32,317 --> 00:07:33,888
So...
172
00:07:34,938 --> 00:07:37,645
I'm not accusing you
of anything, Ambassador Dworsky.
173
00:07:37,731 --> 00:07:40,747
I'm asking for
an explanation.
174
00:07:40,833 --> 00:07:42,141
And I'm giving you one.
175
00:07:42,227 --> 00:07:45,059
The IDF is not in the habit
of bombing children.
176
00:07:45,145 --> 00:07:46,192
I never said habit.
177
00:07:46,278 --> 00:07:48,208
I'm hoping it was an accident.
178
00:07:48,294 --> 00:07:50,856
The world will see it
as a war crime.
179
00:07:50,992 --> 00:07:53,302
Precipitated by
a weapon we only provide
180
00:07:53,388 --> 00:07:54,223
to Israel.
181
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:56,932
Meaning the burden of proof
is on your country to establish
182
00:07:57,025 --> 00:07:59,661
that it had no involvement
in this bombing.
183
00:07:59,747 --> 00:08:01,817
And if we can't
prove a negative?
184
00:08:01,969 --> 00:08:03,372
First things first.
185
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:06,575
Syria is now
an Israeli no-fly zone.
186
00:08:06,755 --> 00:08:07,919
And all shipments
187
00:08:08,005 --> 00:08:11,794
of the CBU-87 will be suspended
pending our investigation.
188
00:08:11,961 --> 00:08:14,927
So now the U.S.
is doing Iran's bidding.
189
00:08:15,013 --> 00:08:17,458
Ambassador Dworsky...
If America handcuffs us,
190
00:08:17,544 --> 00:08:21,181
Iran will have carte blanche
to expand its military presence
191
00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:24,380
in Syria and continue
arming our enemies.
192
00:08:24,466 --> 00:08:25,771
United States
won't let that happen,
193
00:08:25,856 --> 00:08:27,770
- Mr. Ambassador.
- Let it happen?
194
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:31,973
You're facilitating it
by helping Iran scapegoat us.
195
00:08:32,059 --> 00:08:33,450
We're simply asking
196
00:08:33,536 --> 00:08:36,044
for you to put a moratorium
on IDF sorties
197
00:08:36,130 --> 00:08:37,646
until we can get
to the bottom of this.
198
00:08:37,731 --> 00:08:41,020
And will there be a moratorium
on Iranian arms convoys?
199
00:08:41,106 --> 00:08:43,770
On the build-out of
Iranian infrastructure
200
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:45,833
just miles from Tel Aviv?
201
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:47,083
If America's
not willing
202
00:08:47,169 --> 00:08:50,653
to defend us, then we will
defend ourselves.
203
00:08:50,739 --> 00:08:52,661
Good day, Madam Secretary.
204
00:08:55,711 --> 00:08:58,606
Cluster bombs have an important
strategic role to play
205
00:08:58,692 --> 00:09:00,998
in U.S. military policy.
By dispersing
206
00:09:01,084 --> 00:09:02,442
multiple packets at once,
207
00:09:02,528 --> 00:09:04,528
they allow us
to neutralize vehicles
208
00:09:04,614 --> 00:09:07,401
and enemy personnel
in a single blast.
209
00:09:07,487 --> 00:09:11,119
You know, and more to the point,
Moscow uses them, so we have to.
210
00:09:11,205 --> 00:09:13,296
Yeah, tell that to the parents
of the 29 children.
211
00:09:13,436 --> 00:09:15,263
It's about mutual
deterrence, Henry.
212
00:09:15,379 --> 00:09:17,573
Gifting the Russians
a strategic advantage
213
00:09:17,659 --> 00:09:19,700
risks asymmetric warfare.
We're talking about
214
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,153
an anti-personnel weapon
whose sole purpose it is
215
00:09:22,239 --> 00:09:24,528
- to maximize carnage and death.
- Okay, come on,
216
00:09:24,614 --> 00:09:26,598
Henry, every weapon
in creation has that goal.
217
00:09:26,684 --> 00:09:28,232
It's not the tool,
it's how it's used.
218
00:09:28,317 --> 00:09:30,317
- Okay.
- So we should build in
219
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:32,020
- additional safeguards.
- Yes.
220
00:09:32,106 --> 00:09:34,491
Like imposing more
stringent rules
221
00:09:34,577 --> 00:09:36,951
of engagement on Israel,
which we can discuss.
222
00:09:37,037 --> 00:09:39,428
I'm aware of the strategic
and military concerns,
223
00:09:39,514 --> 00:09:41,805
but there are serious
ethical considerations
224
00:09:41,891 --> 00:09:43,250
that we've got
to take into account.
225
00:09:43,335 --> 00:09:46,253
98% of submunition casualties
226
00:09:46,322 --> 00:09:48,045
around the globe are civilian.
227
00:09:48,131 --> 00:09:50,639
- 98%.
- All right.
228
00:09:51,349 --> 00:09:53,061
All valid points.
229
00:09:53,725 --> 00:09:55,748
We need to find out
what happened,
230
00:09:55,834 --> 00:09:57,505
move this conversation forward,
231
00:09:57,591 --> 00:10:00,842
and provide POTUS
with a swift recommendation.
232
00:10:00,969 --> 00:10:02,615
Russell, in terms
of a timetable...
233
00:10:02,709 --> 00:10:04,084
I'm not rushing
you, Henry.
234
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,240
This should be done
as quickly as possible,
235
00:10:06,506 --> 00:10:08,162
but not quicker.
236
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:14,100
This is SatNav footage
taken nine hours ago
237
00:10:14,219 --> 00:10:17,990
of the Russian-operated Khmeimim
Air Base in northwestern Syria.
238
00:10:18,076 --> 00:10:22,061
What you see here is a Syrian
MiG-29 taxiing on the runway.
239
00:10:23,381 --> 00:10:25,482
It's hardly news that
the Syrian Air Force
240
00:10:25,568 --> 00:10:27,528
- uses Russian air bases.
- Uh, yes, sir.
241
00:10:27,747 --> 00:10:30,748
But the flight trajectory
of this plane is telling.
242
00:10:31,952 --> 00:10:34,490
What you see now
is a payload being dropped
243
00:10:34,576 --> 00:10:39,299
at a ceiling of 15,000 feet.
Namely, a CBU-87.
244
00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:41,623
Its laser-guided target
245
00:10:41,709 --> 00:10:43,412
is an abandoned lot.
246
00:10:44,858 --> 00:10:47,272
This video is
time-stamped 11 seconds
247
00:10:47,358 --> 00:10:51,115
before that cluster bomb
detonated on those kids.
248
00:10:53,662 --> 00:10:56,225
I'll spare you the visual
of the impact.
249
00:10:56,474 --> 00:10:58,607
So the cluster bomb was
dropped from a Syrian plane
250
00:10:58,693 --> 00:10:59,944
that took off from
a Russian base.
251
00:11:00,029 --> 00:11:04,100
Meaning that Israel was right
about being framed.
252
00:11:04,302 --> 00:11:05,507
They just had the wrong culprit.
253
00:11:05,592 --> 00:11:06,623
It wasn't Iran.
254
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:08,104
It was Russia and Syria.
255
00:11:08,193 --> 00:11:09,538
Ephraim, I'd like to know
how the hell
256
00:11:09,623 --> 00:11:11,257
Syria got ahold of one
of our cluster bombs.
257
00:11:11,342 --> 00:11:12,326
- We're still working that out, sir.
- Mr. President,
258
00:11:12,412 --> 00:11:15,156
we have a more pressing
problem now.
259
00:11:15,272 --> 00:11:17,624
Russia. It's one thing
to coordinate with a proxy.
260
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:19,389
It's another
to collaborate with them
261
00:11:19,475 --> 00:11:21,389
to frame our chief
U.S. ally in the region.
262
00:11:21,475 --> 00:11:23,068
And if Russia
uses this incident
263
00:11:23,154 --> 00:11:25,076
to get more closely
involved in the region,
264
00:11:25,162 --> 00:11:26,557
it could tip the
balance of power.
265
00:11:26,643 --> 00:11:28,998
I'm not gonna tolerate any more
Russian expansionism.
266
00:11:29,251 --> 00:11:31,443
It's time we had a tough
discussion with Syria.
267
00:11:31,529 --> 00:11:34,779
A country with whom we have
no diplomatic relations.
268
00:11:34,865 --> 00:11:37,139
No, but I can back channel.
269
00:11:37,225 --> 00:11:38,381
- Now, Bess.
- Yep.
270
00:11:38,467 --> 00:11:40,608
Because if Russia's making a
power play, we have to respond.
271
00:11:40,693 --> 00:11:42,404
- With force.
- Yes, sir.

I trust, as President
Nussir's first cousin
277
00:12:00,975 --> 00:12:03,022
and a private citizen,
278
00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:07,235
you can pass on the
administration's message.
279
00:12:07,633 --> 00:12:09,635
Which is?
280
00:12:12,303 --> 00:12:14,375
This is footage
of a Syrian jet
281
00:12:14,469 --> 00:12:16,180
dropping the cluster bomb.
282
00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:19,078
No. This is footage
of a Syrian jet
283
00:12:19,164 --> 00:12:20,649
flying into dense
cloud coverage.
284
00:12:20,742 --> 00:12:22,227
Inconclusive at best.
285
00:12:22,313 --> 00:12:24,336
I don't think that's how
you want to play this.
286
00:12:24,422 --> 00:12:26,289
Play what?
Israeli fighter jets were
287
00:12:26,375 --> 00:12:27,649
in the vector
at the same time.
288
00:12:27,735 --> 00:12:29,641
Yet you prefer to slander
our government
289
00:12:29,727 --> 00:12:31,188
by suggesting
we would deliberately
290
00:12:31,274 --> 00:12:32,412
slaughter our own children?
291
00:12:32,497 --> 00:12:36,055
Rebel children...
living in Aleppo,
292
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:38,610
a city under insurgent control.
293
00:12:38,797 --> 00:12:41,149
The CBU-87 is American-made.
294
00:12:41,375 --> 00:12:44,293
And you give it only to
our sworn enemy, Israel.
295
00:12:44,378 --> 00:12:45,991
Whom you'd be all too happy
296
00:12:46,076 --> 00:12:47,122
to scapegoat.
297
00:12:47,207 --> 00:12:48,471
President Dalton is demanding
298
00:12:48,556 --> 00:12:51,257
Syria take public responsibility
for this bombing.
299
00:12:51,413 --> 00:12:52,606
And if we don't?
300
00:12:52,691 --> 00:12:56,671
Once we have conclusive proof
Damascus is behind this,
301
00:12:56,869 --> 00:12:58,460
we will seek
additional sanctions
302
00:12:58,546 --> 00:12:59,780
against your government,
303
00:12:59,866 --> 00:13:02,877
which is already
on the brink of collapse.
304
00:13:02,962 --> 00:13:04,015
This is an outrage.
305
00:13:04,101 --> 00:13:06,452
The outrage is 29 dead children.
306
00:13:06,538 --> 00:13:08,866
We still have our friends,
Madam Secretary,
307
00:13:08,952 --> 00:13:10,843
even if your country
isn't among them.
308
00:13:11,116 --> 00:13:13,845
But I'll relay your
message to President Nussir.
309
00:13:14,077 --> 00:13:15,624
And he has one for you.
310
00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:17,805
When we prove Israel
and the United States
311
00:13:17,890 --> 00:13:19,285
were behind this,
312
00:13:19,370 --> 00:13:22,199
Syria won't be the one
facing sanctions.
313
00:13:24,201 --> 00:13:25,546
Dynametrics Munitions
314
00:13:25,632 --> 00:13:27,249
has never missed
a delivery date,
315
00:13:27,334 --> 00:13:28,569
had a cost overrun,
316
00:13:28,662 --> 00:13:31,280
or been accused of misconduct.
317
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:34,241
And let me assure all of you
that the chain of custody
318
00:13:34,327 --> 00:13:37,046
of every piece of ordinance
that we manufacture,
319
00:13:37,132 --> 00:13:40,405
including the CBU-87s,
can be accounted for.
320
00:13:40,491 --> 00:13:43,694
We operate in strict accordance
with DOD regulations.
321
00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:47,624
One of these weapons fell into
Russian or Syrian hands.
322
00:13:47,710 --> 00:13:51,568
It had to have happened after
delivery to the Israelis.
323
00:13:51,763 --> 00:13:53,740
Leland, we appreciate
the due diligence,
324
00:13:53,826 --> 00:13:56,990
but can you talk to us about
collateral damage estimates?
325
00:13:57,905 --> 00:13:59,082
Mr. President.
326
00:13:59,168 --> 00:14:00,576
Sorry to interrupt, Henry.
327
00:14:00,672 --> 00:14:02,284
Just want to say hi
to an old golfing buddy.
328
00:14:02,369 --> 00:14:04,888
- How are you, Leland?
- Good to see you, Conrad.
329
00:14:04,974 --> 00:14:08,116
When, uh, Dr. McCord here
is done examining you,
330
00:14:08,201 --> 00:14:09,802
come by for a Scotch.
331
00:14:09,972 --> 00:14:11,724
As you were, everyone.
332
00:14:15,255 --> 00:14:16,568
How come you're staring
333
00:14:16,654 --> 00:14:19,365
at everything tonight
like it's cauliflower?
334
00:14:19,451 --> 00:14:23,008
Oh... no appetite.
This cluster bomb thing.
335
00:14:23,094 --> 00:14:25,925
- Feel like you're being played?
- Like a banjo.
336
00:14:26,219 --> 00:14:28,742
Turns out the CEO
of the contractor
337
00:14:28,828 --> 00:14:32,734
who manufactures this bomb
is one of the president's BFFs.
338
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:34,490
Where are you
on the bomb's provenance?
339
00:14:34,575 --> 00:14:36,164
Well, forensics
are ongoing.
340
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:37,719
Ephraim's team is trying
341
00:14:37,929 --> 00:14:40,191
to determine what batch
the cluster bomb was from.
342
00:14:40,277 --> 00:14:41,378
That way they can lock down
343
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:43,430
the munitions delivery date
to Israel.
344
00:14:43,516 --> 00:14:45,458
Hopefully shed some
light on how Syria
345
00:14:45,543 --> 00:14:47,503
got its hands on the bomb.
346
00:14:47,588 --> 00:14:49,785
Yeah, it's gonna be weeks
before they button that up.
347
00:14:49,871 --> 00:14:53,777
Lean on Ephraim to share his
preliminary results with you.
348
00:14:54,207 --> 00:14:56,863
- Why would he do that?
- Professional courtesy.
349
00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:58,730
One intel pro to another.
350
00:14:58,816 --> 00:15:00,386
Mm, yeah, I guess.
351
00:15:00,471 --> 00:15:02,136
How are you doing?
352
00:15:02,222 --> 00:15:03,558
Flailing.
353
00:15:04,247 --> 00:15:06,381
Israel and Syria
are stirring the pot.
354
00:15:06,467 --> 00:15:09,121
The proxies are out of control.
What about the principals?
355
00:15:09,222 --> 00:15:11,847
Avdonin told me to kiss off.
356
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,941
Unlike you, I eat my feelings.
357
00:15:20,011 --> 00:15:21,320
Oh, Ali was right.
358
00:15:21,405 --> 00:15:23,667
Our Internet is junky.
359
00:15:24,495 --> 00:15:28,022
Hey, did you call
the ISP guy?
360
00:15:28,107 --> 00:15:30,198
Oh, yeah, they said that
there's nothing they can do.
361
00:15:30,283 --> 00:15:32,374
They ran a diagnostic,
and apparently our bandwidth
362
00:15:32,459 --> 00:15:33,425
is overloaded.
363
00:15:33,511 --> 00:15:35,124
Seems like a lot
of new devices
364
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:36,996
have recently been added.
365
00:15:37,124 --> 00:15:38,824
You know, when I
took out the garbage,
366
00:15:38,988 --> 00:15:41,819
I saw a bunch of empty boxes
with computer stuff,
367
00:15:41,904 --> 00:15:43,324
like graphics cards,
368
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,527
external hard drives, CPUs.
369
00:15:45,613 --> 00:15:47,714
I thought, I don't know,
maybe it was you or...
370
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,238
Me? I don't even know
what that stuff is.
371
00:15:51,957 --> 00:15:53,550
- Jason!
- Jason!
372
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,484
SpectroCoin.
373
00:15:58,878 --> 00:16:00,675
- Heard of it?
- Nope.
374
00:16:01,089 --> 00:16:03,001
It's a cryptocurrency,
and I'm mining it,
375
00:16:03,087 --> 00:16:06,683
so I networked the house's iPads
and laptops and desktops.
376
00:16:06,769 --> 00:16:08,535
Meaning our computers are slow.
377
00:16:08,621 --> 00:16:10,799
Because you turned them
into your drone army.
378
00:16:10,914 --> 00:16:12,066
I lost my financial aid.
379
00:16:12,152 --> 00:16:13,512
You guys told me
to be entrepreneurial.
380
00:16:13,597 --> 00:16:15,285
We didn't tell you
to play the lottery.
381
00:16:15,371 --> 00:16:17,463
I'm not. Look,
382
00:16:17,886 --> 00:16:20,792
when global instability leads
to currency fluctuation,
383
00:16:20,878 --> 00:16:23,597
people turn to decentralized
cryptocurrencies.
384
00:16:23,683 --> 00:16:26,613
So, with the whole mess
going on in Syria...
385
00:16:27,011 --> 00:16:28,285
Oh.
386
00:16:28,503 --> 00:16:30,441
So you're betting
against
387
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:32,478
me being good at my job.
388
00:16:32,722 --> 00:16:35,522
No, no, it-it's arbitrage.
389
00:16:36,617 --> 00:16:38,316
Look, I made three grand this month.
390
00:16:38,402 --> 00:16:39,488
- You did?
- Less
391
00:16:39,596 --> 00:16:41,181
the money that you blew
392
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:43,042
- on all that computer stuff.
- Right.
393
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,699
Invest in infrastructure.
394
00:16:44,785 --> 00:16:46,050
That's the first rule
395
00:16:46,136 --> 00:16:48,009
of financial success.
396
00:16:49,871 --> 00:16:51,613
Will you guys please
let me do this?
397
00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:55,082
Please?
398
00:16:55,311 --> 00:16:58,260
You release all of our
devices from cyber bondage.
399
00:16:58,346 --> 00:17:01,408
And limit your hijacking
of the Internet to when we're
400
00:17:01,494 --> 00:17:03,847
asleep or at work.
Understood?
401
00:17:03,933 --> 00:17:05,371
Yes.
402
00:17:05,697 --> 00:17:09,814
But I will need to buy
some new equipment
403
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,721
to optimize functionality.
The things is, I'm a little...
404
00:17:12,807 --> 00:17:14,525
- I'm a little...
- ..strapped for cash.
405
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:16,675
Second rule of
financial success:
406
00:17:16,761 --> 00:17:19,799
never ask your
parents for money.
407
00:17:22,502 --> 00:17:23,877
Her name is Maggie...
408
00:17:23,962 --> 00:17:25,487
- Stevie!
- Those tireless criticisms seem
409
00:17:25,572 --> 00:17:26,793
to have finally hit home.
410
00:17:26,878 --> 00:17:28,260
Fresh off an
awkward confrontation
411
00:17:28,346 --> 00:17:29,854
with the president's
chief of staff.
412
00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:33,416
Stevie! I thought you were
gonna put a lid on this.
413
00:17:33,602 --> 00:17:35,174
I'm trying.
I went to see her.
414
00:17:35,260 --> 00:17:37,221
I-I offered her space
in a shelter.
415
00:17:37,322 --> 00:17:39,615
I told her I'd get her
a meeting with Social Services.
416
00:17:39,717 --> 00:17:40,729
I brought her coffee.
417
00:17:40,815 --> 00:17:42,189
What did she say?
"No."
418
00:17:42,275 --> 00:17:43,315
"Stuff it."
419
00:17:43,401 --> 00:17:45,580
And she only drinks oat milk
lattes, extra hot.
420
00:17:45,723 --> 00:17:48,221
She was yelling into the abyss.
Now she's got a megaphone?
421
00:17:48,331 --> 00:17:51,252
You had one task:
keep the crazy lady at bay.
422
00:17:51,338 --> 00:17:53,082
I know, I know. I think
I may have found something.
423
00:17:53,167 --> 00:17:55,410
Years ago, Maggie was
an up-and-coming scholar
424
00:17:55,496 --> 00:17:57,169
doing a dissertation
with government funding,
425
00:17:57,254 --> 00:17:59,944
which she lost because of
allegations of plagiarism.
426
00:18:00,030 --> 00:18:02,018
Um, she was eventually cleared,
but by that time
427
00:18:02,104 --> 00:18:03,214
she'd been drummed out
of academia.
428
00:18:03,299 --> 00:18:05,589
- And that began her descent.
- Why is this interesting to me?
429
00:18:05,674 --> 00:18:06,702
Because I have an idea.
430
00:18:06,787 --> 00:18:08,253
Something that may help
defuse the situation.
431
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:09,775
Now, please. I don't want
432
00:18:09,861 --> 00:18:11,580
- to hear about this again.
- Okay.
433
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:13,736
- Dr. McCord to see you.
-
434
00:18:13,974 --> 00:18:16,718
Home and abroad, the world's
coming apart, Henry.
435
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:18,713
Seems like it's down
to the McCords to save it.
436
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,803
Well, I don't think
this McCord is
437
00:18:20,893 --> 00:18:22,592
coming to the rescue
quite yet.
438
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:26,256
Per Ephraim, preliminary
analysis of the bomb fragments
439
00:18:26,342 --> 00:18:30,478
confirms the alloy
was Russian in origin.
440
00:18:31,309 --> 00:18:33,767
Are you saying the cluster bomb
was a Russian knockoff?
441
00:18:33,852 --> 00:18:35,072
Yep.
442
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:38,752
So, if this was all just
Russia and Syria
443
00:18:38,892 --> 00:18:41,525
trying to set us up,
we're off the hook.
444
00:18:41,611 --> 00:18:43,978
Uh, slow down, Russell.
445
00:18:44,064 --> 00:18:47,199
The metallurgical analysis
doesn't exonerate us.
446
00:18:47,330 --> 00:18:49,073
It points to a bigger problem.
447
00:18:49,221 --> 00:18:51,921
For Russia to have
replicated the CBU-87,
448
00:18:52,259 --> 00:18:55,259
they would've needed
the weapon schematics.
449
00:18:55,597 --> 00:18:58,650
Someone at Dynametrics Munitions
could be dirty.
450
00:18:58,869 --> 00:19:02,713
Which means America could
still have blood on its hands.
451
00:19:02,889 --> 00:19:04,806
All right, stay on it.
452
00:19:04,932 --> 00:19:07,486
I want to know the extent
of Dynametrics' culpability.
453
00:19:07,587 --> 00:19:09,056
Will do.
454
00:19:11,772 --> 00:19:13,663
20 minutes ago,
a Russian troop transport
455
00:19:13,749 --> 00:19:17,226
was shot down over Aleppo;
43 soldiers dead.
456
00:19:17,312 --> 00:19:18,616
Have we heard from the Israelis?
457
00:19:18,702 --> 00:19:20,874
The Israelis didn't
destroy the plane, sir.
458
00:19:21,069 --> 00:19:22,773
Syria did.
459
00:19:23,921 --> 00:19:25,194
Friendly fire?
460
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,765
It would appear so.
461
00:19:26,914 --> 00:19:28,866
Well, I don't care if
it was an act of God.
462
00:19:29,149 --> 00:19:32,372
Russian soldiers dead,
Moscow will respond.
463
00:19:33,004 --> 00:19:35,791
Meaning the situation is
deteriorating fast.
464
00:19:35,876 --> 00:19:37,999
If proxies are blowing
their principals' planes
465
00:19:38,085 --> 00:19:40,874
out of the sky, the situation's
untenable for everyone.
466
00:19:41,034 --> 00:19:42,952
Which could give us
an opening.
467
00:19:43,038 --> 00:19:46,626
Get with Avdonin, Bess,
before that opening closes. Yes, sir.
468
00:19:49,804 --> 00:19:53,233
Thank you for meeting with me,
Mr. Foreign Minister.
469
00:19:53,381 --> 00:19:56,647
I was stateside to tour
consulates when you reached out.
470
00:19:56,873 --> 00:19:58,905
I thought a sit-down
would be fruitful.
471
00:19:58,991 --> 00:20:00,264
I thought so, too.
472
00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:04,053
This friendly fire incident
underscores the peril
473
00:20:04,139 --> 00:20:05,522
we now find ourselves in,
474
00:20:05,608 --> 00:20:10,077
and how easily the chaos
could draw our two countries
475
00:20:10,202 --> 00:20:12,670
- into direct conflict.
- I agree.
476
00:20:12,756 --> 00:20:16,803
Especially since it wasn't
friendly fire.
477
00:20:17,084 --> 00:20:21,608
Intel on the flight path
of an Israeli F-16 jet,
478
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:25,655
which establishes it
deliberately flew behind
479
00:20:25,741 --> 00:20:29,397
our transport plane
the moment a Syrian battery
480
00:20:29,483 --> 00:20:31,717
locked onto the
Israeli intruder.
481
00:20:32,045 --> 00:20:34,506
Israel murdered our soldiers.
482
00:20:34,592 --> 00:20:35,975
We followed the protocols.
483
00:20:36,123 --> 00:20:37,767
Moscow was given
a 60-second warning
484
00:20:37,852 --> 00:20:40,552
before we entered
Syrian air space.
485
00:20:40,637 --> 00:20:42,898
Was apprised of
our flight pattern,
486
00:20:42,984 --> 00:20:45,718
our mission objective.
Oh, I think we both know
487
00:20:45,804 --> 00:20:48,867
what Israel's true intentions
were, Mr. Ambassador.
488
00:20:48,953 --> 00:20:51,148
Given the lengths
Russia and Syria went
489
00:20:51,234 --> 00:20:53,937
to frame Israel
for that cluster bomb,
490
00:20:54,031 --> 00:20:55,654
it seems like poetic justice
491
00:20:55,765 --> 00:21:00,172
to see Moscow's client state
shoot down a Russian plane.
492
00:21:00,633 --> 00:21:03,125
This treachery was precipitated
493
00:21:03,211 --> 00:21:05,320
at the direction
of the United States.
494
00:21:05,429 --> 00:21:06,586
That's a fabrication.
495
00:21:06,672 --> 00:21:08,406
And you want to talk
about treachery?
496
00:21:08,890 --> 00:21:11,515
How about Russia forging
a U.S. bomb,
497
00:21:11,609 --> 00:21:13,716
and giving it to Syria
to murder children?
498
00:21:14,047 --> 00:21:15,265
And doing it all
499
00:21:15,351 --> 00:21:16,508
to frame the U.S.?
500
00:21:16,594 --> 00:21:18,633
Even if that fantasy
were true,
501
00:21:18,765 --> 00:21:22,586
it hardly justifies a conspiracy
to kill Russian soldiers.
502
00:21:22,780 --> 00:21:24,297
We need to de-escalate.
503
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:26,203
Israel has to issue a statement
504
00:21:26,289 --> 00:21:27,976
acknowledging
its role in this crisis.
505
00:21:28,062 --> 00:21:29,133
What role?
506
00:21:29,219 --> 00:21:31,094
The role of defending
our tiny country
507
00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:34,179
against a swarm of enemies
backed by Moscow?
508
00:21:34,265 --> 00:21:36,054
In light of this aggression,
509
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,140
Russia will be supplying Syria
510
00:21:38,226 --> 00:21:40,571
with an upgraded
air defense system.
511
00:21:40,657 --> 00:21:42,265
If Russia is augmenting.
512
00:21:42,375 --> 00:21:46,633
Syria's military capabilities,
we demand the latest
513
00:21:46,719 --> 00:21:48,484
- in U.S. technology...
- So you want us
514
00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:50,953
to put you
on a war footing with Syria.
515
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320
We won't sanction an arms race.
516
00:21:53,406 --> 00:21:54,867
The U.S. has always
517
00:21:54,953 --> 00:21:57,898
used Israel as a pawn
for America's agenda.
518
00:21:57,984 --> 00:21:59,500
You give us weapons,
519
00:21:59,586 --> 00:22:02,195
then handcuff us when
we try to use them.
520
00:22:02,281 --> 00:22:05,156
Give us money,
but tell us how to spend it.
521
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:08,557
Thank you very much,
but we are the ones at risk.
522
00:22:08,643 --> 00:22:11,679
And we know how to
protect ourselves.
523
00:22:11,765 --> 00:22:13,429
Russia will not tolerate
524
00:22:13,515 --> 00:22:15,508
the murder of its citizens.
525
00:22:15,735 --> 00:22:18,476
An immediate response
will be forthcoming.
526
00:22:24,939 --> 00:22:26,341
So we're sure
527
00:22:26,434 --> 00:22:29,818
Russia wasn't given
the schematics for the CBU-87?
528
00:22:29,904 --> 00:22:32,271
Yes. According
to our investigation,
529
00:22:32,357 --> 00:22:34,779
there was no malfeasance,
just negligence.
530
00:22:34,865 --> 00:22:36,380
More like gross negligence,
531
00:22:36,479 --> 00:22:38,005
behind DOD's back.
532
00:22:38,170 --> 00:22:40,739
Dynametrics gutted
their cyber security budget
533
00:22:40,824 --> 00:22:43,133
so they could undercut
competitors on government bids.
534
00:22:43,218 --> 00:22:46,653
In the process, creating
vulnerabilities Russia exploited
535
00:22:46,739 --> 00:22:49,457
by hacking the
company's database.
536
00:22:49,748 --> 00:22:51,707
Thanks, Ephraim.
537
00:22:54,629 --> 00:22:57,098
Well, thank God we're not
looking at treason here.
538
00:22:57,184 --> 00:23:00,114
Well, cutting corners
is no cause for celebration.
539
00:23:00,204 --> 00:23:02,282
Dynametrics's
digital infrastructure
540
00:23:02,368 --> 00:23:05,878
is woefully underfunded
and just this side of legal.
541
00:23:05,964 --> 00:23:09,246
Agreed, but as long
as they played by the rules...
542
00:23:09,385 --> 00:23:11,838
You can technically play by
the rules and still be at fault.
543
00:23:11,924 --> 00:23:13,275
That's what ethics
are all about.
544
00:23:13,361 --> 00:23:15,844
Well, you can put it all
in your report.
545
00:23:16,121 --> 00:23:19,018
Speaking of which,
how's it coming?
546
00:23:20,090 --> 00:23:21,721
It-it's evolving.
547
00:23:22,388 --> 00:23:23,846
Evolving.
548
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,690
Right. You know,
549
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:31,221
there's a lot at stake here.
550
00:23:32,213 --> 00:23:36,490
After having refused to sign
on to the cluster bomb ban,
551
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,146
an about-face in the wake
of a single tragedy
552
00:23:39,246 --> 00:23:42,118
could be seen
as an admission of wrongdoing.
553
00:23:43,433 --> 00:23:46,803
Or as an assumption
of moral responsibility.
554
00:23:46,889 --> 00:23:48,023
Moral responsibility
555
00:23:48,109 --> 00:23:49,800
has its costs.
556
00:23:50,372 --> 00:23:52,917
One of which will be
to tar the president.
557
00:23:54,573 --> 00:23:57,042
And the Secretary of State.
558
00:24:01,399 --> 00:24:03,359
New proposals
to help the relatives
559
00:24:03,432 --> 00:24:05,753
of the dead children.
I tried to get creative.
560
00:24:05,866 --> 00:24:09,263
Uh-huh, by reallocating
some of our UNHCR funds
561
00:24:09,348 --> 00:24:11,425
for housing allowances
to the affected families.
562
00:24:11,511 --> 00:24:14,432
- Exactly.
- Except this isn't a refugee crisis.
563
00:24:14,518 --> 00:24:17,385
Homes weren't destroyed;
Foreign Affairs won't sign off.
564
00:24:18,515 --> 00:24:20,495
Okay.
565
00:24:20,970 --> 00:24:23,931
What about relocating the
bereaved out of the war zone?
566
00:24:24,305 --> 00:24:26,268
How do we justify
preferential treatment
567
00:24:26,354 --> 00:24:28,323
when thousands of civilians
have already perished?
568
00:24:28,409 --> 00:24:30,426
It's not preferential treatment.
It's a mission of mercy.
569
00:24:30,511 --> 00:24:33,284
Driven by American guilt
over the use of a cluster bomb
570
00:24:33,370 --> 00:24:34,597
we didn't even manufacture,
meaning
571
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:37,122
- it's back to the drawing board.
- Back to the drawing board.
572
00:24:39,231 --> 00:24:41,401
This is your carrel.
573
00:24:41,843 --> 00:24:45,107
It's got a nameplate.
It says "Maggie Brixton."
574
00:24:47,026 --> 00:24:48,594
You got me a desk?
575
00:24:48,726 --> 00:24:52,813
Yes. And the administration has
received assurances that you can
576
00:24:52,899 --> 00:24:56,346
do as much reading and writing
here as you want, undisturbed.
577
00:24:56,432 --> 00:25:00,445
And you think this trivial
gesture will buy my silence?
578
00:25:00,808 --> 00:25:02,246
There's...
579
00:25:02,448 --> 00:25:04,070
there's no quid pro quo here.
580
00:25:04,156 --> 00:25:05,703
You bet there's not.
581
00:25:06,035 --> 00:25:08,213
Because I am
only getting started.
582
00:25:08,524 --> 00:25:11,836
The Dalton administration
will not silence me.
583
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:14,148
Yeah, one sign a day,
that's too much for you?
584
00:25:14,234 --> 00:25:15,878
- How about ten?
- Uh, Stevie...
585
00:25:16,104 --> 00:25:18,422
You will be held to account
586
00:25:18,534 --> 00:25:20,059
for every transgression.
587
00:25:20,206 --> 00:25:23,359
Every moral failing, every act
of greed, because this...
588
00:25:23,445 --> 00:25:24,875
- Stevie, now.
- Just wait. Wait.
589
00:25:24,961 --> 00:25:26,383
T-this...
590
00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:31,406
this is, t-the type
of control mechanism
591
00:25:31,492 --> 00:25:33,626
that every
government,
592
00:25:34,375 --> 00:25:36,377
every despot...
593
00:25:46,678 --> 00:25:48,636
Okay. We can go now.
594
00:25:53,050 --> 00:25:54,336
You okay?
595
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,055
Yeah, I'm just t-trying to wrap
my head around normalizing
596
00:25:58,141 --> 00:26:00,476
an acceptable level
of dead children.
597
00:26:00,726 --> 00:26:05,437
Well, you're no stranger
to collateral damage.
598
00:26:05,577 --> 00:26:07,672
You were a fighter pilot.
599
00:26:07,848 --> 00:26:10,594
Yes, and I knew that innocents
600
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,945
would inevitably
be caught in the crossfire...
601
00:26:13,031 --> 00:26:15,070
That's something
I'm still trying to reconcile...
602
00:26:15,156 --> 00:26:17,445
But... it's one thing
to follow orders,
603
00:26:17,531 --> 00:26:20,094
it's another to sanction weapons
that you know
604
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:21,805
will result in the death
of civilians.
605
00:26:21,891 --> 00:26:25,664
Cluster bombs
indiscriminately kill people.
606
00:26:25,956 --> 00:26:27,578
That's kind of what
they're all about.
607
00:26:27,664 --> 00:26:28,992
Which is why we need diplomacy.
608
00:26:29,078 --> 00:26:32,070
Yeah, well, diplomacy's
not working right now.
609
00:26:33,167 --> 00:26:36,773
Syria's about to open up
a front against Israel
610
00:26:36,859 --> 00:26:41,758
and Iran is stepping up arms
shipments to Hezbollah
611
00:26:41,844 --> 00:26:43,031
and it's just...
612
00:26:43,117 --> 00:26:44,860
- Sorry.
- W-Where are you with Russia?
613
00:26:44,946 --> 00:26:47,273
A whole bunch of nyet.
614
00:26:49,031 --> 00:26:51,726
I'm meeting with
the president, joint chiefs
615
00:26:51,812 --> 00:26:54,055
first thing in
the morning, but...
616
00:26:54,889 --> 00:26:57,820
You have got to be kidding me.
617
00:26:57,906 --> 00:26:59,101
- What?
- Our electric bill.
618
00:26:59,187 --> 00:27:02,601
It's, like, 800
last month to 2,000?
619
00:27:02,869 --> 00:27:04,445
- Jason?
- Jason?
620
00:27:05,818 --> 00:27:07,500
Come here.
621
00:27:09,493 --> 00:27:10,726
Hi.
622
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:13,940
See, this is why we should
all be using solar power.
623
00:27:14,051 --> 00:27:16,851
Oh, yes, well, until
that time, your little
624
00:27:16,937 --> 00:27:20,436
cryptocurrency escapade is gonna
drive us into bankruptcy.
625
00:27:20,522 --> 00:27:23,450
Meaning that you're gonna pay us
the difference between this
626
00:27:23,536 --> 00:27:25,265
and last month's bill.
627
00:27:25,383 --> 00:27:26,914
- 1,200 bucks.
- Fine.
628
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,609
I will wire you the equivalent
in SpectroCoin.
629
00:27:29,695 --> 00:27:30,829
- No, no. Uhp.
- No, no.
630
00:27:30,915 --> 00:27:32,164
Cash on the barrel.
631
00:27:32,299 --> 00:27:35,594
How about you cover
the power bill,
632
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,586
and I will cut you in
on my profits?
633
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,625
And you can think of that
as an investment.
634
00:27:40,711 --> 00:27:42,000
We've already invested
in you
635
00:27:42,086 --> 00:27:44,008
- for 17 years, sport.
- And it's about to pay off.
636
00:27:44,093 --> 00:27:45,601
SpectroCoin is up 300%
637
00:27:45,687 --> 00:27:47,387
- this week alone.
- Oh, that's great.
638
00:27:47,509 --> 00:27:51,034
Then you can sell some of your
booty and fork over the dough.
639
00:27:54,356 --> 00:27:57,187
This is not how the Zuckerbergs
supported their kid.
640
00:27:57,453 --> 00:27:58,765
Ay...
641
00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:02,995
Russell, hi.
642
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:05,554
Russia is sending
their Northern Fleet to Latakia,
643
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,336
Syria's most important harbor.
644
00:28:07,422 --> 00:28:08,461
What?
645
00:28:08,547 --> 00:28:09,855
It's one big setup.
646
00:28:09,941 --> 00:28:11,858
The cluster bomb,
Moscow's response
647
00:28:11,944 --> 00:28:13,407
to Syria's destruction
of their plane...
648
00:28:13,492 --> 00:28:14,726
It's all to create leverage.
649
00:28:14,812 --> 00:28:16,515
They want a Mediterranean port.
650
00:28:16,601 --> 00:28:17,945
Yeah, and the president's
651
00:28:18,031 --> 00:28:20,036
not gonna allow that,
no matter what.
652
00:28:20,122 --> 00:28:21,561
I'm on my way.
653
00:28:22,121 --> 00:28:23,254
How bad?
654
00:28:23,632 --> 00:28:26,109
Don't wait on me for breakfast.
655
00:28:31,297 --> 00:28:32,866
- It's an armada.
- Yes, sir.
656
00:28:32,951 --> 00:28:35,000
And once their Northern
Fleet is in position,
657
00:28:35,136 --> 00:28:37,401
we won't be able to dislodge it
without a war.
658
00:28:37,501 --> 00:28:39,711
Bess, what do we hear
from your counterpart?
659
00:28:40,296 --> 00:28:41,663
Avdonin insists
660
00:28:41,749 --> 00:28:44,086
that an increased
naval presence is necessary
661
00:28:44,179 --> 00:28:46,937
to counter American
and Israeli aggressions.
662
00:28:47,023 --> 00:28:48,359
It's
a pretext.
663
00:28:48,468 --> 00:28:50,890
Russia has a small naval
facility in Tartus
664
00:28:50,976 --> 00:28:53,843
that whet their appetite
for regional domination.
665
00:28:53,929 --> 00:28:55,914
- And this fleet will give it to them.
- Yes, sir.
666
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,734
And if we don't push Russia
back now, they will have a port
667
00:28:58,812 --> 00:29:02,757
that puts them a stone's throw
from vital NATO bases in Turkey.
668
00:29:02,850 --> 00:29:04,767
I recommend
that we send
669
00:29:04,852 --> 00:29:06,804
a fleet to intercept
Russia's advance.
670
00:29:07,203 --> 00:29:10,765
Which will put us on the verge
of direct military conflict.
671
00:29:10,851 --> 00:29:13,937
Only if Russia doesn't blink.
We have to hope they do.
672
00:29:14,938 --> 00:29:17,718
Gordon's right.
We have very little choice here.
673
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:22,062
How far out
is the Northern Fleet?
674
00:29:22,226 --> 00:29:24,752
About 26 hours.
Our Eighth Fleet needs
675
00:29:24,838 --> 00:29:27,234
about eight hours' advance
notice to intercept them.
676
00:29:27,397 --> 00:29:30,781
We've got 18 hours
to get Russia to stand down.
677
00:29:31,453 --> 00:29:33,132
Have you informed the president
678
00:29:33,247 --> 00:29:35,816
about... Dynametrics's
negligence in this?
679
00:29:35,902 --> 00:29:39,169
Uh, not yet. But you should
include it in your report.
680
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:41,718
A report that you're going
to deliver to the president,
681
00:29:41,804 --> 00:29:44,244
who needs to know
his friend was at fault.
682
00:29:44,711 --> 00:29:46,375
He will be so apprised.
683
00:29:46,632 --> 00:29:50,375
Correct, because I'm gonna
tell him myself.
684
00:29:51,593 --> 00:29:55,038
Respectfully, Henry,
that's not SOP. Yeah...
685
00:29:55,124 --> 00:29:57,859
Let's talk about SOP,
because you've been speeding
686
00:29:57,945 --> 00:29:59,884
the plough on my work
since the beginning.
687
00:30:00,055 --> 00:30:02,796
Weighing in on the importance
of not embarrassing
688
00:30:02,882 --> 00:30:06,437
the administration, tacitly
backing military prerogatives
689
00:30:06,523 --> 00:30:07,710
over ethical ones.
690
00:30:07,796 --> 00:30:10,687
You're not suggesting I wouldn't
provide the president
691
00:30:10,773 --> 00:30:13,086
an accurate summary
of your conclusions?
692
00:30:13,172 --> 00:30:15,195
It's not just
what you say,
693
00:30:15,281 --> 00:30:16,839
it's how you say it.
694
00:30:17,117 --> 00:30:19,059
Tone is substantive.
695
00:30:19,272 --> 00:30:21,789
Which is why I can't allow you
to mediate my advice,
696
00:30:21,890 --> 00:30:22,968
whitewash things.
697
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:27,104
I know you think I'm working
against you, Henry, but I'm not.
698
00:30:27,575 --> 00:30:29,523
I'm working for the president.
699
00:30:30,914 --> 00:30:32,757
And it's my job to protect him
700
00:30:32,897 --> 00:30:34,203
and the administration.
701
00:30:34,292 --> 00:30:36,731
And it's my job not to care
about your job.
702
00:30:37,075 --> 00:30:39,570
You can't varnish
my advice, Russell.
703
00:30:39,843 --> 00:30:41,984
Not if I'm gonna
keep working here.
704
00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:50,507
I'll set up
a one-on-one.
705
00:30:51,593 --> 00:30:53,022
Thank you.
706
00:31:01,313 --> 00:31:06,233
Thank you both for coming
on such short notice.
707
00:31:06,388 --> 00:31:09,126
You can dispense with
the courtesy, Madam Secretary.
708
00:31:09,212 --> 00:31:11,665
It was less an invitation
than a summons.
709
00:31:11,892 --> 00:31:15,275
Well, that's fine.
Neither of you need to talk.
710
00:31:19,688 --> 00:31:23,731
Effective immediately,
the Israeli government
711
00:31:23,817 --> 00:31:26,775
will cease all sorties
into Syrian airspace.
712
00:31:26,861 --> 00:31:28,071
You must be joking.
713
00:31:28,157 --> 00:31:31,173
And Syria will freeze
all Iranian arms shipments
714
00:31:31,259 --> 00:31:32,423
through its territory.
715
00:31:32,509 --> 00:31:35,220
Iran is an ally.
Syria will do no such thing.
716
00:31:35,525 --> 00:31:40,444
You will do it, Adnan,
or I will instigate
717
00:31:40,530 --> 00:31:43,431
an emergency session
of the U.N. Security Council,
718
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,665
and present evidence
of Syria's collusion
719
00:31:46,751 --> 00:31:49,946
with Russia to murder children
for political gain.
720
00:31:50,142 --> 00:31:52,057
Your regime will have to answer
721
00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:54,048
to its own people
for the slaughter.
722
00:31:54,189 --> 00:31:55,384
You wouldn't dare.
723
00:31:55,470 --> 00:31:58,017
At that same
U.N. Security Council session,
724
00:31:58,103 --> 00:32:01,727
I will also present evidence
that Israel
725
00:32:01,939 --> 00:32:04,556
had a direct involvement
in the destruction
726
00:32:04,641 --> 00:32:06,009
of a Russian jet,
727
00:32:06,095 --> 00:32:08,728
and without plausible
deniability, you'll have to face.
728
00:32:08,819 --> 00:32:11,189
- Moscow's wrath.
- You must be mad.
729
00:32:11,275 --> 00:32:13,042
More like furious.
730
00:32:13,165 --> 00:32:15,759
Furious enough to throw you
both to the wolves
731
00:32:15,845 --> 00:32:17,588
by publicly
exposing you.
732
00:32:17,808 --> 00:32:20,571
But there are bigger
imperatives as stake,
733
00:32:20,712 --> 00:32:23,705
so the both of you
are going to stand down
734
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:26,025
for the next 24 hours,
which I hope
735
00:32:26,111 --> 00:32:30,126
is enough time to avert
a war with Russia, a war
736
00:32:30,212 --> 00:32:33,579
the actions of your countries
put us on the brink of.
737
00:32:36,128 --> 00:32:37,454
- Yes.
- Yes.
738
00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:44,109
That'll be all.
739
00:32:50,813 --> 00:32:53,359
- Nina. Get me Henry.
- Yes.
740
00:32:53,445 --> 00:32:55,233
I need to talk to him before
he talks to the president.
741
00:32:55,318 --> 00:32:57,086
Right away, Madam Secretary.
742
00:33:02,258 --> 00:33:03,937
You're recommending
we sign on to
743
00:33:04,023 --> 00:33:06,602
- the ban on cluster bombs.
- Yeah, over the objection
744
00:33:06,688 --> 00:33:08,969
of Secretary Becker
and Ellen Hill.
745
00:33:09,055 --> 00:33:10,755
Strenuous objection,
I see.
746
00:33:10,885 --> 00:33:12,594
Conrad, it comes down
to this.
747
00:33:12,719 --> 00:33:14,727
How can we claim
moral leadership
748
00:33:14,813 --> 00:33:17,828
w-when we employ a weapon
that the rest of civilization
749
00:33:17,914 --> 00:33:19,531
has deemed
too barbaric to use?
750
00:33:19,617 --> 00:33:23,820
The benefits of having this...
tool in our arsenal
751
00:33:23,906 --> 00:33:27,380
are too small to offset
the risk of misuse
752
00:33:27,465 --> 00:33:30,391
and collateral damage,
the death of almost 30 children
753
00:33:30,477 --> 00:33:31,695
being a prime example.
754
00:33:31,781 --> 00:33:34,213
A powerful
moral argument.
755
00:33:34,298 --> 00:33:36,484
But Henry, when I asked
you to take this on,
756
00:33:36,578 --> 00:33:37,961
I didn't realize
the scope
757
00:33:38,047 --> 00:33:39,562
of Russia's involvement
in this mess.
758
00:33:39,648 --> 00:33:41,633
As long as Moscow
has the bomb,
759
00:33:41,719 --> 00:33:43,109
they have a
strategic advantage.
760
00:33:43,195 --> 00:33:44,595
Particularly if they're
willing to use it.
761
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,609
And given current events,
762
00:33:45,695 --> 00:33:47,298
- I won't cede an inch to them.
- I understand.
763
00:33:47,383 --> 00:33:49,672
But what if Moscow was willing
to sign on to the ban?
764
00:33:50,078 --> 00:33:52,461
And how precisely are we
going to get them to do that?
765
00:33:52,547 --> 00:33:53,929
Elizabeth has a plan.
766
00:33:54,383 --> 00:33:56,422
Which she's willing to explore...
767
00:33:56,515 --> 00:33:58,265
With your permission.
768
00:33:58,908 --> 00:34:01,242
Well, if Russia signs on,
I will too.
769
00:34:01,601 --> 00:34:02,807
I'll tell her.
770
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:04,297
Thanks, Henry.
771
00:34:04,651 --> 00:34:06,875
And there is
something else.
772
00:34:07,027 --> 00:34:08,637
It has to do with my role here.
773
00:34:09,815 --> 00:34:11,500
I sometimes feel...
774
00:34:11,751 --> 00:34:13,719
pressured to rubberstamp
policies
775
00:34:13,805 --> 00:34:15,758
the administration
is inclined to pursue.
776
00:34:15,844 --> 00:34:16,992
Henry...
777
00:34:17,078 --> 00:34:19,996
you're an academic trapped
in a political world.
778
00:34:20,344 --> 00:34:22,617
I never said your job
was going to be easy.
779
00:34:22,703 --> 00:34:25,308
But I have to be able to push
back when my mandate
780
00:34:25,393 --> 00:34:28,078
- is being compromised.
- And I expect nothing less.
781
00:34:29,107 --> 00:34:31,734
Giving it to me straight
is what I hired you to do.
782
00:34:31,819 --> 00:34:33,046
Good.
783
00:34:33,132 --> 00:34:35,185
Because we need
to talk about Leland Grafton.
784
00:34:45,968 --> 00:34:49,321
Well, his company's
security lapses are...
785
00:34:50,008 --> 00:34:51,508
reckless.
786
00:34:51,733 --> 00:34:53,164
And troubling.
787
00:34:55,015 --> 00:34:56,426
But they're not criminal.
788
00:34:56,711 --> 00:34:58,140
No, sir.
But I don't think
789
00:34:58,226 --> 00:34:59,773
someone
who avails himself
790
00:34:59,859 --> 00:35:02,453
of every conceivable loophole
791
00:35:02,539 --> 00:35:04,312
should be awarded
government contracts.
792
00:35:04,398 --> 00:35:06,711
You know I can't interfere
in the bidding process.
793
00:35:06,797 --> 00:35:09,125
No, but what you can do
is tell your old friend
794
00:35:09,211 --> 00:35:10,483
that it's time
for him to step down.
795
00:35:10,568 --> 00:35:12,586
Moral suasion.
796
00:35:13,330 --> 00:35:16,226
There's no one in the world
who's in a better position
797
00:35:16,342 --> 00:35:17,930
to exert it than you.
798
00:35:20,331 --> 00:35:23,758
My friend, we have had
a difficult year together.
799
00:35:24,058 --> 00:35:26,062
So let's talk
common ground, then.
800
00:35:26,148 --> 00:35:28,370
Because in the past year,
we've also found that.
801
00:35:28,456 --> 00:35:30,226
Nuclear de-escalation.
802
00:35:30,414 --> 00:35:31,898
No one ever thought
it could be done.
803
00:35:31,984 --> 00:35:34,115
But we agreed
to take our
804
00:35:34,201 --> 00:35:36,390
intercontinental
ballistic missiles off
805
00:35:36,476 --> 00:35:38,172
the hair-trigger
alert system.
806
00:35:38,258 --> 00:35:40,430
- And the world is safer.
- It is.
807
00:35:40,516 --> 00:35:42,969
And yet here we are,
Konstantin.
808
00:35:43,192 --> 00:35:46,445
Hours away from a showdown
between our two fleets.
809
00:35:48,431 --> 00:35:51,828
And if somebody
fires a shot, if...
810
00:35:52,012 --> 00:35:55,234
intentions
are slightly misread...
811
00:35:55,609 --> 00:35:57,000
What do you propose?
812
00:35:57,289 --> 00:36:00,031
That we set an example
for our proxies.
813
00:36:00,189 --> 00:36:03,523
Instead of them provoking us,
we provoke them.
814
00:36:03,781 --> 00:36:06,250
You want us to join
you in signing on
815
00:36:06,336 --> 00:36:07,765
to the cluster
bomb ban?
816
00:36:07,851 --> 00:36:10,000
A public display
of cooperation.
817
00:36:10,158 --> 00:36:11,858
A gesture
that sets the stage
818
00:36:11,956 --> 00:36:14,351
for us to jointly
pull back our fleets.
819
00:36:14,545 --> 00:36:16,523
That's the first domino.
820
00:36:16,609 --> 00:36:17,656
What's the second?
821
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:19,844
Moscow uses its influence
to roll back.
822
00:36:19,930 --> 00:36:21,423
Iran's footprint in Syria.
823
00:36:21,509 --> 00:36:23,023
And what about your proxy?
824
00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:25,445
No, Israel will stay out
of Syria.
825
00:36:25,984 --> 00:36:28,719
And then Russia and the U.S.
will hold talks
826
00:36:28,805 --> 00:36:31,945
about limiting our involvement
in the Syrian civil war.
827
00:36:32,140 --> 00:36:34,687
And if we refuse these terms?
828
00:36:34,773 --> 00:36:37,039
Then even if
we dodge this bullet,
829
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:38,955
it's a temporary reprieve.
830
00:36:39,469 --> 00:36:41,609
We have this illusion
831
00:36:41,757 --> 00:36:43,575
that our proxies are...
832
00:36:43,661 --> 00:36:45,101
our buffers.
833
00:36:45,367 --> 00:36:48,672
We can offload our conflicts.
834
00:36:49,503 --> 00:36:51,742
But we are our proxies.
835
00:36:51,884 --> 00:36:54,976
We hold each other
accountable for what they do.
836
00:36:55,108 --> 00:36:57,547
Meaning, if we don't
reign them in,
837
00:36:57,632 --> 00:37:01,664
our client states will
ultimately drag us into war.
838
00:37:01,750 --> 00:37:03,429
And we can stop that
from happening
839
00:37:03,515 --> 00:37:04,672
by setting an example,
840
00:37:04,758 --> 00:37:07,515
taking cluster bombs
off the table...
841
00:37:08,179 --> 00:37:10,984
reducing our involvement
in Syria.
842
00:37:11,124 --> 00:37:12,124
So...
843
00:37:12,373 --> 00:37:14,437
if the principals behave...
844
00:37:14,711 --> 00:37:17,008
- the proxies will follow.
- Yes.
845
00:37:17,217 --> 00:37:19,569
We have to lead here,
Konstantin.
846
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:20,945
Together.
847
00:37:21,223 --> 00:37:22,851
There is no other choice.
848
00:37:25,790 --> 00:37:28,534
Educational grants
for Syrian refugees
849
00:37:28,619 --> 00:37:30,398
and the names of each
of the dead children.
850
00:37:30,484 --> 00:37:32,609
- Blake.
- I know... no admissions of guilt.
851
00:37:32,695 --> 00:37:36,765
So we can de-link
the grants from policy issues.
852
00:37:36,976 --> 00:37:38,712
You're trying to ease
suffering with grand gestures,
853
00:37:38,797 --> 00:37:40,351
- which is statecraft.
- Exactly.
854
00:37:40,437 --> 00:37:41,742
Yeah, but this
is different.
855
00:37:41,828 --> 00:37:43,344
This is soulcraft.
856
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:45,017
And soulcraft...
857
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:48,172
you can't assuage a loss
by giving someone something.
858
00:37:48,765 --> 00:37:52,015
You can only do it by preventing
something from being taken away.
859
00:37:53,859 --> 00:37:55,387
I'm sorry, I don't follow.
It's okay.
860
00:37:55,472 --> 00:37:57,605
Come on, let's go.
I'll explain on the way.
861
00:37:58,610 --> 00:37:59,883
- Hi. Thank you so much.
- Hi.
862
00:37:59,969 --> 00:38:01,350
For talking to us again.
863
00:38:04,062 --> 00:38:05,265
What is it you want?
864
00:38:05,351 --> 00:38:08,047
We have searched in vain
for ways to compensate you
865
00:38:08,133 --> 00:38:09,305
for the death of your sons.
866
00:38:09,391 --> 00:38:12,351
We... realize the futility
of our efforts.
867
00:38:12,437 --> 00:38:15,805
Um, nothing we say or do can...
can ease your pain.
868
00:38:15,883 --> 00:38:19,539
But m-maybe there's
something else we can do.
869
00:38:19,756 --> 00:38:21,038
Uh, in your son's memory.
870
00:38:21,124 --> 00:38:23,015
In memory of all your boys.
871
00:38:23,734 --> 00:38:25,678
This is a letter
of intent signed by
872
00:38:25,763 --> 00:38:27,593
both the U.S. and Russia
in which both countries
873
00:38:27,678 --> 00:38:30,116
agree to join the ban
on cluster bombs.
874
00:38:38,124 --> 00:38:39,821
So no more cluster bombs?
875
00:38:40,909 --> 00:38:42,226
No, ma'am.
876
00:38:44,045 --> 00:38:46,742
And the children who live
because of this ban will have
877
00:38:47,394 --> 00:38:48,726
your children to thank.
878
00:38:53,865 --> 00:38:55,171
Thank you.
879
00:38:57,851 --> 00:38:59,414
Global warming.
880
00:39:00,047 --> 00:39:02,133
The destruction
of the rain forest.
881
00:39:02,651 --> 00:39:05,836
President Dalton
is condemning us all.
882
00:39:05,922 --> 00:39:07,015
Yeah!
883
00:39:07,101 --> 00:39:08,586
I'm being punked, right?
884
00:39:09,447 --> 00:39:11,820
I tried, sir.
I swear.
885
00:39:12,140 --> 00:39:13,335
What about her carrel?
886
00:39:13,531 --> 00:39:14,961
Maggie loves it;
she's using it
887
00:39:15,047 --> 00:39:16,773
to do research
for her protests.
888
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,180
Knock, knock.
889
00:39:27,537 --> 00:39:29,086
Oat milk latte.
890
00:39:29,389 --> 00:39:30,703
Extra hot.
891
00:39:31,252 --> 00:39:33,469
Consider this a peace offering.
892
00:39:33,555 --> 00:39:35,117
You can't buy
my silence.
893
00:39:35,272 --> 00:39:36,948
I'm going to speak
truth to power.
894
00:39:37,034 --> 00:39:38,734
And now that power
is finally listening,
895
00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:40,847
- I am just getting started.
- Look.
896
00:39:40,933 --> 00:39:43,581
Bringing you to heel,
that's not why I'm here.
897
00:39:43,846 --> 00:39:45,745
I mean, candidly,
that's why I came,
898
00:39:45,831 --> 00:39:47,401
but on the way over...
899
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:49,401
- I got to thinking.
- Thinking?
900
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,698
That's a new trick
for folks in your building.
901
00:39:57,406 --> 00:39:59,069
How long have you
been here now?
902
00:39:59,272 --> 00:40:00,730
18 years.
903
00:40:01,248 --> 00:40:02,818
Well, I've been here six.
904
00:40:02,904 --> 00:40:04,304
Which makes me the new guy.
905
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:05,772
And where I come from,
906
00:40:06,072 --> 00:40:08,093
you introduce yourself
to your neighbors.
907
00:40:09,718 --> 00:40:11,068
I'm Russell.
908
00:40:14,311 --> 00:40:15,924
Is that all, Russell?
909
00:40:16,350 --> 00:40:17,405
Look.
910
00:40:17,504 --> 00:40:19,247
I just wanted to say...
911
00:40:19,589 --> 00:40:21,366
democracy's messy.
912
00:40:22,101 --> 00:40:25,715
But rule one is every
voice should be heard.
913
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,522
And yours has been
on the front lines
914
00:40:27,608 --> 00:40:28,835
for a very long time.
915
00:40:28,974 --> 00:40:32,569
And I wanted to thank you
for playing your part
916
00:40:32,655 --> 00:40:35,093
in this... this pageant
917
00:40:35,179 --> 00:40:37,249
we call the
American experiment.
918
00:40:37,437 --> 00:40:38,929
Because you matter.
919
00:40:39,186 --> 00:40:40,397
Truly.
920
00:40:44,225 --> 00:40:46,429
If there's ever anything
I can do for you...
921
00:40:49,292 --> 00:40:50,597
Thank you.
922
00:40:52,029 --> 00:40:54,194
Excuse me,
I have to finish this sign
923
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,132
before the tour buses come.
924
00:41:08,740 --> 00:41:11,223
Been ages since
we've been on a proper date.
925
00:41:11,864 --> 00:41:13,559
Well, let's calendar one.
926
00:41:14,552 --> 00:41:18,513
In between international crises,
commissions, all-nighters.
927
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:21,247
Oh, God, it turns me on
when you talk shop.
928
00:41:24,762 --> 00:41:26,254
I'm broke.
929
00:41:26,505 --> 00:41:27,512
What?
930
00:41:27,598 --> 00:41:29,770
SpectroCoin went down to zero.
931
00:41:29,965 --> 00:41:31,958
There was a, uh,
massive sell-off
932
00:41:32,059 --> 00:41:34,387
as soon as
the Syrian crisis died down.
933
00:41:34,662 --> 00:41:36,856
Oh, well, gee,
934
00:41:36,942 --> 00:41:38,677
if I'd known I was
hurting your bottom line,
935
00:41:38,763 --> 00:41:40,434
I would have
reevaluated my position
936
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,402
- on preventing World War Three.
- Yeah.
937
00:41:42,778 --> 00:41:44,005
I'm done speculating.
938
00:41:44,091 --> 00:41:45,856
- Hmm.
- Allow me to speculate.
939
00:41:46,005 --> 00:41:48,286
Someone still owes us $1,200,
and if he doesn't
940
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:50,050
find a way to pay us back...
I already have.
941
00:41:50,135 --> 00:41:53,419
I got a job as a busboy
at Frankie's, so...
942
00:41:53,942 --> 00:41:56,130
Steady income
and all the pizza I can eat.
943
00:41:56,232 --> 00:42:00,356
Good. We'll put you
on a payment plan.
944
00:42:00,591 --> 00:42:02,841
I trust you've learned
a valuable lesson
945
00:42:02,927 --> 00:42:05,411
- about shortcuts, right?
- Yes.
946
00:42:05,624 --> 00:42:06,997
Always take the ones
947
00:42:07,083 --> 00:42:09,099
that don't depend on
your mom playing ball.
948
00:42:09,224 --> 00:42:11,040
- Hey.
- I'm kidding.
949
00:42:11,645 --> 00:42:15,091
I'm rolling OG now,
so brick and mortar.
950
00:42:15,372 --> 00:42:17,176
All the way.Good.
951
00:42:17,325 --> 00:42:19,184
Then, uh, grab a sponge
952
00:42:19,285 --> 00:42:20,778
and come over here,
we'll train you up
953
00:42:20,864 --> 00:42:22,161
for your next gig,
there, Snoop.
954
00:42:22,247 --> 00:42:23,333
Yeah.
955
00:42:24,833 --> 00:42:26,356
You know, there is
this one currency.
956
00:42:26,442 --> 00:42:29,223
It's called AnarCoin.
Kind of a sure bet.
957
00:42:29,309 --> 00:42:32,146
I mean, I could get us in
on the ground floor if you...
958
00:42:35,802 --> 00:42:37,247
Hey, where's the soap?
959
