Dax Minter has been arrested.

I'm sorry that you got
pulled into all of this.

I'm not. I made a friend.

I'm moving to San Francisco.

Go get 'em out there.

When this hacking investigation is over

you will have learned much
about America you can share.

Maybe enough to keep yourself alive.

[TIRES SCREECH]

- Hannah!

- I found something.
- Valeria Poriskova?

Minter tried to get rid of me

and make it look like Frost did it.

And who better to hire
than a Russian agent

who you've been clashing with?

Valeria missed me and killed Damian.

I can't let you hunt down Valeria.

You lay those down, you
may not get them back.

Where are we at on the defense budget?

Sir, we have a congressional consensus.

$726 billion.

Okay, you're starting
out with the numbers

instead of substance, which
means there must be a problem.

Senators Crowell and Feller
are shifting goalposts again.

It took us six months

to negotiate this deal in principle.

- What's their agenda?
- We don't know, sir, but something's up.

Well, I think maybe we should
find out what it is, don't you?

- Yes, sir.
- In the meantime,

I'll get the senators here, sir.

Today... This bill's too important.

We need to keep our eye on the ball.

- Turn on "Beltway Beat."

[TELEVISION TURNS ON]

This presidency has finally run aground.

Now, Tom Kirkman is a
good man, a fine man.

But he is an amateur in a job
that demands a professional.

What this country needs more
than anything else right now

is leadership, and I am afraid that

President Kirkman is
simply out of his depth.

LYOR: He's been taking
a flamethrower to you

ever since the 25th
Amendment proceeding.

Lyor, it's called the 1st Amendment.

He can say whatever he wants.

But he can't leak
classified information,

which is a crime, and
he's a repeat offender.

No one would like to prosecute
Moss more than me,

but we all know that's it's
next to impossible to prove.

It would look like I'm using this office

to settle personal political scores.

What about a special counsel, then,

someone with no allegiance
to the Administration?

Attorney General Beckett
could appoint one for you.

I don't like the way it'll look.

Sir, if anyone else had
leaked classified information,

you would prosecute them, right?

If I had the evidence, yes.

So you can't go after
Moss for political reasons,

but you can't protect him
for political ones, either.

- Turn on "D.C. News Daily."
- I hate television.

All I'm saying is that if I'd
left it to the Administration,

that kid would still be
rotting in a prison in Bultan.

INTERVIEWER: So, the President did not

help negotiate Matthew
Jennings' release?

[CHUCKLES]

Sure, if by "help" you mean "hinder."

- What a pest.
- Not just any pest...

He's a termite eating
away at our foundation.

He's a scorpion to our frog.

I don't think so.

I think he's a solution.

- To what?
- We want to prosecute Moss,

we'd have to appoint someone
who's considered an unfriendly,

someone whose impartiality
could not be questioned.

Someone who went after you in
the 25th Amendment proceeding

and keeps taking shots.

Use one problem to solve the other.

That's damn good.

Senator, the V.A. budget has increased,

and I honestly believe that our veterans

will get absolutely
everything that they need.

Not enough to keep pace with inflation.

But billions more for new
aircraft we don't need?

You have my sympathetic ear,
but it's the best we can do.

You knew where the GOP stands.

Yes, sir, but where do you stand?

You're 20 months into
your Administration

still trying to govern
as an Independent.

It's the wrong path, and it's
not too late to change course.

What exactly are you trying to say?

That on every social issue
that matters you're a Democrat,

and my party needs a leader.

With all due respect,
Senator, I think I'm looking at

a perfectly capable leader right now.

Yes, sir, but I'm not
gonna run for President.

We're 16 months from
the general election,

and you still haven't
had a conversation with us

about your plans.

We have to get our ducks in

Senator, you want to
talk about the future,

This bill right here, right now...

That should be our focus, our priority.

I appreciate that, sir.

You want our green light,

you'll need some movement from the GOP.

Yep. She's using the D.O.D.
budget as leverage

to bring you into the fold.

Well, it's not gonna work.

If we can't get her to compromise,

we'll get Senator Feller to move.

You can mark that down...

The race for the
Presidency just started.

And our guy's expression of interest...

No, it was a proclamation
of disinterest.

- Well, 16 months is a long time.

Okay, thanks.

Kendra, I'm so sorry.

Every hang-up I've had
in the last six months,

every time something
got lost in the mail.

Yeah, well, my mind

but that doesn't mean
that there's a connection.

I know Ritter is
chasing down every lead,

but it's my home, you know?

I mean, what if they'd found me?

Okay, let's talk about something else,

something that is none of my business.

Let's not.

What? It's Trey. It's a big deal.

It is a big deal.

Three months since
I've been with anyone,

and I manage to hook up

right before someone nearly
Patty Hearst'd my ass.

Well, yeah, the timing's
not great, but...

If I didn't have bad timing,
I wouldn't have timing at all.

Think this will be a thing?

It was one night.

Well, there could be another one.

I mean, he's smart and he's cute.

And you know where
to find each other.

Yeah. I'll be in the

bash me with a candlestick.

It's the beginning of
every great love story.

Look, take the day if you need to.

No one expects you to be

It's what I expect of myself.

I'm an advocate, not a victim,

and I'm not gonna
let anything change that.

Okay.

LYOR: Your title will
be special prosecutor.

Not interested.

It's a high-profile post.

For an errand boy.

You'll be a Justice
Department appointee.

Justice answers to the president.

You'll have a mandate.
Complete independence.

The president gives you his word.

My only agenda would
be to find the truth.

I'll take that as far as it goes.

The president has to know that.

When can you start?

Immediately.

Good. The important thing is to avoid

even the appearance of impropriety.

So no coordination with the White House.

None whatsoever.

You answer only to the Attorney General.

I agree.

Which is why I need you

Yeah, what's that?

And there's this other thing.

What do you need?

Ethan West has been
appointed special counsel

to look into Moss.

And he's conducting interviews.

You need me to talk to him?

Yeah.

So you investigated former
President Moss for murder?

Yes. For the killing of a
British member of Parliament.

He was exonerated, right?

He was. But he still obstructed justice

by lying about his relationship
to the victim to investigators.

- Was he charged for that?
- No.

Was Secretary Moss a suspect
in your hacking investigation?

Yes.

But not the culprit.

No.

Look, I don't know what
it is what you're asking

because it was my understanding
that Moss was being investigated

for leaking classified information.

My charter is to investigate

all of the secretary's
alleged wrongdoing.

Yours is to cooperate.

That's correct.

I'm here to answer
any question you have.

Good. Let's carry on.

EMILY: Thank you for coming, senators.

We have spent billions
and billions of dollars

developing the F-44,

only to be met with delay after delay.

Simply throwing more money
at it's a bad investment.

You won't say that when
we roll the plane out.

Next to nuclear power,

it'll be the greatest deterrent
this country's ever known.

Senator Crowell doesn't agree.

Well, she's wrong.

We don't have to spend money
taking care of our soldiers

if we stop wars from
starting in the first place.

Do you want to know
where I stand on this?

We had a deal and now we don't.

I find that unacceptable.

I understand the frustration, sir.

You're trying to wrangle two parties.

Maybe it would be better if
you only had to wrangle one.

Excuse me?

General election.

GOP needs a candidate.

You would make a fine one.

I don't know what's in the
water around this place lately,

but I'm not drinking it.

Senator, we're here
to talk about the bill.

- Mr. President...
- If the election were tomorrow,

I would not run as a
Republican nor a Democrat.

You're fiscally conservative,
strong on defense.

- We can work with the rest.
- Senator, please.

The country needs your leadership.

And if you're ready to lead, you
need the right team behind you.

We're not here to talk
about my political future.

We're here to talk about
the military spending bill.

So why don't we do that?

And you have our position.

If you want a deal, bring
Senator Crowell around.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

How the hell did we get to this place

where both parties
are asking me to lead?

One of the parties is
circling a candidate.

But they'd rather back the incumbent.

And the other party caught wind of it.

Now it's a feeding frenzy.

And you're the meal, sir.

This talk of elections is
too big of a distraction.

We need to make it perfectly
clear to both parties

that I am inflexible on this issue.

Hi, Trey.

I'm... I'm so sorry, but I just...

It's not a good time to talk right now.

MAN: You have a beautiful
home, Ms. Daynes.

I'm sorry I wasn't able
to tell you in person.

Who is this?

I need you to look into
an unsolved murder...

Lewis Garren.

Shot to death in 2008 and nobody cares.

I want to know who this is.

Lewis Garren. Look into who killed him.

Or next time, I'll do more
than mess up your place.

[DIAL TONE]

I was an AUSA back then,

but I didn't work the Garren case.

The file says that a Gabe Herlihy

was a person of interest.

Then the trail went cold.

Herlihy. I tried him
for a different murder.

Pete Archer.

But we cut Herlihy a deal
in order to finger a cartel.

Witness protection.

That's why the FBI couldn't
hang the Garren murder on him.

He was already in witness protection.

But why break into my place? I
had nothing to do with Garren.

My guess is Garren is a stalking horse.

- Why?
- Garren was a dirtbag with no next of kin.

Nobody would want his murder avenged.

That leaves Pete Archer.

What can you tell us about him?

His family was devastated
we let Herlihy escape.

Mom committed suicide.

Dad went into a grief spiral.

Last I heard, Pete's brother,
Mickey, was circling the drain.

Herlihy can't be prosecuted
for Pete Archer, right?

Not per the terms of his deal, no.

But he still can for Garren.

We never officially gave
him immunity for that.

Something the Archers might know.

I think we need to look into them.

I'm a registered independent.
Nothing has changed.

So you're not thinking of re-election?

The only thing I'm thinking right now

Senators Crowell and Feller

have decided to play politics.

So I am inviting them and

Thank you, everybody. Thank you.

Mr. President, one follow up.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Did the president
just call out the Speaker

and the Minority Leader in
front of the entire press pool?

Yep.

How do you spell catastrophe?

ANCHOR: Swift reaction from
congressional leadership

to the president's accusations
that both parties are

politicizing the issue
of America's security.

They're taking your
words out of context.

Not the first time.

Well, they're just getting started, sir.

You really poked the bear this time.

You poked the bear, the
donkey, the elephant.

You pissed off the whole zoo.

Which will make a deal on
DOD funding harder to reach.

If the microscope's on me,
it's on the leadership, too.

- Sir, can I be frank?
- When are you not?

The real governance question here

isn't whether you're gonna run.

It's whether Washington
thinks you're gonna run.

And if they know you're
not, you're a lame duck.

Well, I haven't decided if
I'm gonna run or not, Lyor.

De facto, you have.

The defense bill is a litmus test, sir.

You used it to thumb
your nose at both parties.

Which means they're gonna move on.

Well, a-and it's harder to govern

when Congress thinks you don't want to.

Look, sir, you don't have to
declare, you can just affiliate.

Leave open the possibility
that you want to run.

If I decide to run, I'm doing
it as an independent.

Not credibly, sir.

The last independent
to win the White House

was George Washington,

and he'd won a little thing
called the Revolutionary War.

Thank you for your counsel,

but I'm not gonna affiliate
myself with any party

just because I want to pass a bill.

Then we're out of options with this one.

Then we'd better find some. And fast.

Because this legislation needs to pass.

I'll put out a statement that

the president has the utmost
respect for both parties.

No, it's time to play
offense, not defense.

Be critical. Take them to task.

We need to be proactive if we want to

get our legislative
initiative back on track.

Yeah, which is why I'm gonna find out

who our mystery candidate is.

How's that gonna help us?

Well, if I can take the shine off him,

I can get us back to the status quo,

focusing on the DOD bill
and the president's agenda.

For how long? The
election's in 16 months.

Sooner or later, both parties
are gonna move on.

And our guy and our agenda are toast.

AARON: Why does a special
prosecutor want to talk to me?

There are a lot of
allegations that President Moss

compromised this
administration's security.

Oh, they're facts.
They're not allegations.

Okay, let's focus on one
fact... The NASA hack.

I'm familiar with it.

President Moss back-channeled
with the Russians

without the president's authorization?

Yes, he promised Ambassador Pavlov

the US would not investigate
Russia's involvement

with Icarus Astrotech

if Moscow would cooperate
in saving the space station.

How'd you learn this?

Hannah Wells confirmed

President Moss's shadow diplomacy.

He lied to her during the
course of her investigation.

Hannah Wells.

There's that name again.

She does a lot of work
for the White House?

Yes, she was detailed here.

And did she find anything
that unambiguously points

to crimes President
Moss may have committed?

Well, t-that's for you to
decide, Mr. West, isn't it?

So it is.

Well, let's go through my
little list of malfeasance.

See if we can shed
some more light on it.

All right.

HANNAH: Chuck, I know why Valeria
wanted me out of the way.

So she could toss my condo.

The place is completely ransacked.

Anything gone?

I mean, I don't know.
There's nothing here to take.

Question is, what was she looking for?

It's a funny coincidence.

Damian's apartment was
broken into a few days ago.

And you didn't think to tell me that?

You don't work here anymore.

Forget it. What was
missing from Damian's place?

Nothing. We had already cleaned it out.

So she decided to toss my
place thinking it might be here.

That'd be my guess.

Valeria gets burned.

Russia's trying to kill her.

What could Damian have
that would help her?

Maybe something she could trade
Moscow in exchange for her life.

Where are Damian's personal effects?

Evidence lockup. Secure facility.

Don't worry. Valeria can't get in.

Maybe I can.

SETH: The press release is out.
Criticizing both parties

for dragging their
feet on the DOD budget.

And not supporting our soldiers. Good!

See? We changed the narrative.

It's not Kirkman failing
this system, it's...

The system failing him. How'd it go?

It's hard to say. I
mean, West was all over

Hannah's investigation into Moss.

That's wonderful! That
means he's digging in.

He's looking to buttress his case.

I hear Moss is going to
show up at the questioning.

And he's not taking the Fifth.

No, he's too proud for that.

That means he's gonna hang himself.

Seth, you want to get
a press release ready?

- No.
- Lyor, the former president getting indicted

is no cause for celebration.

Who's celebrating? "It
is with a heavy heart

that the administration
acknowledges the need

to hold our elected
officials accountable...

Even former presidents."

- So celebrating.
- Oh, it's the best day ever.

[LAUGHS]

I'm pleased you've agreed
to answer my questions,

- President Moss.
- Against the advice of counsel.

But I have nothing to hide.

Then I'll cut to the chase.

Did you leak classified
information to the press?

No.

The negotiations between
East and West Hun Chiu...

Yes, President Lee did
disclose them to me,

but all I did was pass
that information along.

The subpoena the First Lady received

in the Icarus Astrotech...

The mere fact that she was
subpoenaed was not confidential.

The items requested by
the subpoena may have been.

But I did not disclose them.

The White House's
internal ethics investigation...

It was not a classified matter.

Surely you can do better, Mr. West.

What about your obstruction
in the Charlotte Thorn case?

- Lying to investigators?
- Well, I did not lie.

I admit I could have
been more forthcoming.

But President Kirkman deemed my behavior

unworthy of prosecution.

Now, if you think it is,

I will use his words as my defense.

I did nothing wrong.

For an innocent guy, you
arouse a lot of suspicion.

Yes, and you might want to
ask yourself why that is.

Why the president sicced
his personal guard dog,

Hannah Wells, on me.

Over and over again.

Yeah, why did he do that?

Animus. Jealousy. Take your pick.

All I can tell you is that

I will not disavow anything I have done.

And if I need to go to court to
vindicate my reputation, I will.

I appreciate you taking
the time to see me, Tom.

Meeting with an enemy is
a civilized thing to do.

You think I'm the enemy?

Advocating for a special counsel
doesn't make you a friend.

I've done nothing wrong.

Well, if you've done nothing wrong,

you've got nothing to fear.

Cooperate with the investigation.

Should be over in a moment.

But it won't be.

No.

No, this is just the beginning.

Special counsel is a Pandora's Box.

You're a student of history.
You should know that.

I'm not gonna fire him, Cornelius.

He should never have been appointed!

You and I both know the truth.

You're gonna be held accountable.

Yes.

Yes, I am going to be
held accountable, Tom.

And so are you.

Because if I'm charged with anything,

you know what my defense will be?

I've got a pretty good idea.

You will be my defense.

"I was protecting the
country from Tom Kirkman.

His inexperience.

His recklessness."

Your name will be my refrain.

My psalm.

My salvation.

And you think that that's
somehow supposed to scare me?

I think it's supposed
to make you see reason.

Two presidents going after each other.

You think that's good for the republic?

Oh, so that's what you're doing here.

You're going to save the republic now?

How noble of you.

I've come here to talk common sense.

But I see you're past that.

Cornelius, you and I
have very different ideas

about what's good for this country.

Yes, but going after
both political parties?

A former president?

If you really think that's
what's best for this country,

you shouldn't be sitting in that chair.

But I am.

Good luck, Cornelius.

Yeah, we do.

You see that picture Ms.

Yeah, what about it?

Duckwall Bait 'n Tackle.

It's a little fishing
village in West Virginia.

It's pretty out of the way.

Or disappear.

He was trying to make

Until he ran out of patience.

I've been back-channeling
with the leadership

about the defense bill.

Their positions have hardened.

Meaning if I don't pick a side...

You're gonna be the fall guy.

Especially if we can't pass legislation.

Sir, going it alone
is finally taking its toll.

I think y-you need to pick
a party, Mr. President.

If I don't?

Then we stumble to the
finish line with no allies.

And no leverage.

Bring the leadership back up here.

We've got a decision to make.

Yes, sir.

It appears that we are at an impasse.

- Yes, sir.
- Mr. President, we have real differences

with the majority on this legislation.

Yes, I know.

Differences that we spent
months working out together.

Until both of you decided to try

and leverage me for political gain.

At the expense of the men and
women who fight and die for us.

Who allow us to sit here in this office

and play God with their lives.

Telling them which guns they can use.

Planes they can fly.
Medicines they can get.

Mr. President...

Senators, I have no intention
of joining either of your parties.

When I declared myself an
independent, I meant it.

And it's that very independence
that's given me credibility.

Respectfully, sir, you'll
have less if you go it alone.

Perhaps, but not today.

My staff has drawn up a final bill.

One that reflects the
bipartisan work we did together.

And both of your
parties will endorse it.

And if we don't?

I will take whatever
political capital I have left

and I will make my case to the people.

I will tell them that I believe

partisanship is ruining this country.

And that their representatives

are more interested
in keeping their power

than serving the people and
the soldiers that defend them.

Everyone in your caucuses
will have copies of this

by the end of the hour.

I suggest you get your
people to fall in line.

Thank you.

How you doing?

Good.

And by "Good," you mean bad.

I was an AUSA for six years.

All I ever worried about
was my conviction rate.

Like any decent prosecutor.

So I gave Herlihy a pass on Pete Archer

so he could help me make
a half a dozen cases.

- And he did.
- The greater good.

Not for the Archers.

Mom took her own life.

Both of the sons are dead.

When you snubbed both

Thank you for the time, Mr. President.

I'm nearly ready to issue
my preliminary findings.

I just have a few questions.

And I am at your disposal.

Hannah Wells... she, uh,
worked in the White House?

Yes, she was reassigned here

shortly after the Capitol bombing.

There were facets in the FBI

that were interfering
with her investigation.

Then-Acting Director Foerstel and I

believed this was the best
way to protect her.

She was like a Swiss Army
knife to you guys, right?

I mean, you had her drop off
money to rebels in Kunami?

If by a "Swiss Army knife,"

you mean that she was versatile, yes.

And yes, I had her deliver
funds to rebel forces in Kunami.

And to investigate Secretary
Moss's alleged obstruction...

No, no. We were in a state of war.

Mr. West, you don't have
the security clearance

to continue this discussion.

As I understood it,

you're here to investigate the
wrongdoings of President Moss.

Oh, I investigated President Moss.

- And...?
- I found evidence of bad judgment.

Narcissism. Pettiness.

But those things aren't crimes.

And his classified leaks?

I can't prove he leaked
just because you said he did.

He leaked classified information

to undermine my potential candidacy.

How do you know that?

An internal investigation
conducted by my staff.

Mr. West, motive matters.

Yes, it does.

You deployed Hannah Wells to find dirt

on a man you knew was
a political opponent.

That is absolutely not true.

She conducted warrantless searches.

Unlawful surveillance.

Where the hell is this going?

I have probable cause to believe

you were part of a criminal conspiracy.

I'll have to notify the
Attorney General of my findings.

Okay, this discussion is over.

And I am not talking with you again

unless the White House
counsel is present.

That may be the first thing
we agree upon, Mr. President.

I had the honor of serving
this great country

as its 44th president.

Since that time,

we have suffered a crisis of leadership.

And though I never intended
to run for office again,

when my country needs
me, I answer the call.

And so today, I am proud and humbled

to announce my candidacy for
the Republican nomination

for president of this great nation.

- [APPLAUSE]
- Cornelius Moss.

The once and future President
of the United States!

Moss is right.

I opened Pandora's Box.

Well, we don't know what's
going to come out of it.

Ethan West is going
to forward his findings

to the Attorney General.

It's not clear that a sitting president

An indictment would precipitate
a Constitutional crisis.

And cripple your presidency.
