1
00:00:02,383 --> 00:00:06,234
It's 10:27 and President
Dalton is still trailing.
2
00:00:06,235 --> 00:00:08,333
Now, were you expecting
it to be this close?
3
00:00:08,334 --> 00:00:11,463
- No one was...
- Santa Fe results are coming in fast.
4
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:13,392
Projections still have him
down by three points.
5
00:00:13,393 --> 00:00:14,526
Well, forget the projection.
6
00:00:14,527 --> 00:00:16,261
Our ground game was better in Santa Fe.
7
00:00:16,262 --> 00:00:17,663
We can still close this gap.
8
00:00:17,664 --> 00:00:19,631
I think it's safe to say
the Dalton campaign
9
00:00:19,632 --> 00:00:20,833
took New Mexico for granted.
10
00:00:20,834 --> 00:00:22,468
- He had a ground operation
- (various phones ringing)
11
00:00:22,469 --> 00:00:24,503
twice the size of Evans, didn't matter.
12
00:00:24,504 --> 00:00:26,727
Ladies and gentlemen, we are
ready to make a projection.
13
00:00:26,728 --> 00:00:28,574
- DALTON: What?
- This is wrong.
14
00:00:28,575 --> 00:00:30,309
New Mexico will not go to Dalton.
15
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:33,378
That makes it official,
he has lost the race.
16
00:00:33,379 --> 00:00:36,582
President Conrad Dalton
will be a one-term president.
17
00:00:36,583 --> 00:00:39,251
Can't make a projection
when-when it's this tight.
18
00:00:39,252 --> 00:00:41,653
20% of the vote is still uncounted.
19
00:00:41,654 --> 00:00:43,055
AP just made the same call.
20
00:00:43,056 --> 00:00:45,524
- (phone beeping)
- What the hell happened to margin of error?
21
00:00:45,525 --> 00:00:47,658
It's over, Russell.
22
00:00:51,663 --> 00:00:55,033
If it's all the same to everyone,
23
00:00:55,034 --> 00:00:57,402
I'd prefer to do the
postmortem tomorrow.
24
00:00:57,403 --> 00:01:00,638
It was a good fight.
25
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:14,719
This is all your fault.
26
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:25,695
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
27
00:01:26,788 --> 00:01:27,688
_
28
00:01:27,699 --> 00:01:29,701
Starboard engine is down.
29
00:01:29,702 --> 00:01:31,202
Let's jump for it.
30
00:01:33,105 --> 00:01:35,774
Evacuate the crew.
31
00:01:35,775 --> 00:01:37,975
Yes, sir.
32
00:01:39,645 --> 00:01:41,747
Throw!
33
00:01:41,748 --> 00:01:43,248
Move back now!
34
00:01:43,249 --> 00:01:44,349
Everybody off.
35
00:01:44,350 --> 00:01:47,820
(men yelling indistinctly)
36
00:01:47,821 --> 00:01:49,521
Evacuate!
37
00:01:49,522 --> 00:01:52,757
Evacuate the area!
38
00:01:59,198 --> 00:02:01,300
- (screams, then splash)
- Man overboard!
39
00:02:01,301 --> 00:02:03,902
SAILOR: Kelley! Kelley!
40
00:02:03,903 --> 00:02:06,772
JESSICA: Madam Secretary, you'll open
41
00:02:06,773 --> 00:02:08,106
with some general remarks.
42
00:02:08,107 --> 00:02:10,309
Then you'll head over to
the pig-judging contest.
43
00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:13,478
You won't be required
to handle the pigs.
44
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:15,747
Which is excellent news.
45
00:02:15,748 --> 00:02:18,483
Yeah, just comment on
their general appearance.
46
00:02:18,484 --> 00:02:22,654
And I'd advise avoiding
words like "fat" or "tasty"
47
00:02:22,655 --> 00:02:26,458
because people don't really
want to think about that.
48
00:02:26,459 --> 00:02:30,329
Couldn't you have gotten me
the zucchini-judging contest?
49
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:32,865
- A lot fewer pitfalls.
- NADINE: Nominally,
50
00:02:32,866 --> 00:02:35,767
you'll be promoting
American agricultural exports.
51
00:02:35,768 --> 00:02:37,903
- Without saying "tasty."
- Mm-hmm.
52
00:02:37,904 --> 00:02:39,204
Or "fat."
53
00:02:39,205 --> 00:02:40,505
Or "food."
54
00:02:40,506 --> 00:02:41,840
- Or "pork."
- Yes.
55
00:02:41,841 --> 00:02:44,343
But, as Jessica explained to me,
56
00:02:44,344 --> 00:02:45,677
albeit in language
57
00:02:45,678 --> 00:02:47,613
more befitting a political strategist,
58
00:02:47,614 --> 00:02:49,314
it's an opportunity to do some
59
00:02:49,315 --> 00:02:51,550
glad-handing with the Virginia locals.
60
00:02:51,551 --> 00:02:53,185
JESSICA: Yeah, just to kick things off
61
00:02:53,186 --> 00:02:54,319
in a fun way.
62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Of course, we have a number
63
00:02:55,321 --> 00:02:56,588
of savvy public profile boosts
64
00:02:56,589 --> 00:02:58,056
coming up for you and your family.
65
00:02:58,057 --> 00:03:00,058
NADINE: Right, tonight
you have your dinner
66
00:03:00,059 --> 00:03:01,793
with the president's big-ticket donors.
67
00:03:01,794 --> 00:03:04,029
And tomorrow you have a
segment on Jane Pauley's show
68
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:06,698
to discuss foreign policy developments.
69
00:03:06,699 --> 00:03:08,333
But not pork.
70
00:03:08,334 --> 00:03:10,695
And definitely no mention of
your accepting the VP position.
71
00:03:10,696 --> 00:03:12,439
President Dalton will
make that announcement
72
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,206
after the convention in July.
73
00:03:14,207 --> 00:03:15,741
But Jane will ask.
74
00:03:15,742 --> 00:03:18,911
Yes, Jane will ask and
you'll say something like...
75
00:03:18,912 --> 00:03:22,514
"I could use a fat and
tasty pulled pork sandwich
76
00:03:22,515 --> 00:03:23,782
right about now."
77
00:03:23,783 --> 00:03:24,783
(laughter)
78
00:03:24,784 --> 00:03:26,018
(phone chimes)
79
00:03:26,019 --> 00:03:28,082
JESSICA: After the contest,
there will be a photo op
80
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:29,788
with the mayor and the
county commissioner.
81
00:03:29,789 --> 00:03:31,957
Uh, e-excuse me, Madam Secretary,
82
00:03:31,958 --> 00:03:33,125
I'm receiving word that
83
00:03:33,126 --> 00:03:34,726
our naval base in Bahrain
84
00:03:34,727 --> 00:03:37,496
has been hit by a massive
tropical cyclone.
85
00:03:37,497 --> 00:03:38,897
No fatalities reported,
86
00:03:38,898 --> 00:03:41,600
but the base has
sustained major damage.
87
00:03:41,601 --> 00:03:42,868
How major?
88
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:46,171
That base just had an update,
like, two years ago.
89
00:03:46,172 --> 00:03:47,873
I'll get more information.
90
00:03:47,874 --> 00:03:49,308
DoD is monitoring the situation.
91
00:03:49,309 --> 00:03:51,243
All right.
92
00:03:51,244 --> 00:03:54,646
Do you have a list of
acceptable adjectives?
93
00:03:54,647 --> 00:03:57,215
For the pigs.
94
00:03:57,216 --> 00:04:00,352
My research says they're
very intelligent animals.
95
00:04:00,353 --> 00:04:02,988
Really, that doesn't sound elitist?
96
00:04:02,989 --> 00:04:04,756
(animals chattering)
97
00:04:04,757 --> 00:04:06,358
WOMAN: Madam Secretary?
98
00:04:06,359 --> 00:04:07,592
- Yes.
- Hi.
99
00:04:07,593 --> 00:04:09,227
- Ooh. Oh, my goodness.
- Oh.
100
00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:10,362
Isn't she...
101
00:04:10,363 --> 00:04:13,498
She's so cute. Oh, my God.
102
00:04:13,499 --> 00:04:15,667
(bell ringing)
103
00:04:15,668 --> 00:04:17,769
(cheering)
104
00:04:17,770 --> 00:04:18,804
(chuckles)
105
00:04:18,805 --> 00:04:21,105
(indistinct conversations)
106
00:04:23,809 --> 00:04:24,810
(applause)
107
00:04:25,878 --> 00:04:27,412
ELIZABETH: Agriculture has long been
108
00:04:27,413 --> 00:04:30,182
the foundation of this country,
beginning, as it did,
109
00:04:30,183 --> 00:04:32,117
right here in the great Commonwealth
110
00:04:32,118 --> 00:04:33,585
of Virginia,
111
00:04:33,586 --> 00:04:38,090
a land which has yielded
so many valuable resources.
112
00:04:38,091 --> 00:04:41,516
And nothing exemplifies that more
113
00:04:41,517 --> 00:04:44,529
than these delicious
fried gelatin balls
114
00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:46,098
that my son just handed me.
115
00:04:46,099 --> 00:04:47,165
(laughter)
116
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:48,433
I think he tried to
117
00:04:48,434 --> 00:04:49,901
offer 'em to the pigs first,
118
00:04:49,902 --> 00:04:53,739
but no takers 'cause,
as our research tells us,
119
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:56,441
they are highly intelligent animals.
120
00:04:56,442 --> 00:04:57,976
- (crowd laughs)
- Crowd loves her.
121
00:04:57,977 --> 00:05:00,478
Yes, they do.
122
00:05:01,046 --> 00:05:02,280
ELIZABETH: It turns out
123
00:05:02,281 --> 00:05:05,450
- you can fry anything.
- (chuckles)
124
00:05:05,451 --> 00:05:07,452
You were a huge hit at the fair, ma'am.
125
00:05:07,453 --> 00:05:09,087
Your pig remark is trending.
126
00:05:09,088 --> 00:05:11,490
Wow, take that, Lincoln
and your Gettysburg Address.
127
00:05:11,491 --> 00:05:14,126
I am going to be known
for the pig remark.
128
00:05:14,127 --> 00:05:16,094
Yeah, and no fallout
from the gelatin lobby
129
00:05:16,095 --> 00:05:18,096
because they don't recommend
frying their product.
130
00:05:18,097 --> 00:05:18,777
They're right.
131
00:05:18,778 --> 00:05:20,476
JAY: And that's the
last of the good news
132
00:05:20,477 --> 00:05:22,060
because we need to
brief you on Bahrain.
133
00:05:22,061 --> 00:05:23,969
Still no fatalities, last I heard.
134
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:26,705
37 injured, 36 in good condition.
135
00:05:26,706 --> 00:05:28,473
Hey, any update on Ensign...
136
00:05:28,474 --> 00:05:30,142
- NADINE: Ensign Kelley, yes, ma'am.
- Oh.
137
00:05:30,143 --> 00:05:31,643
He remains in critical condition.
138
00:05:31,644 --> 00:05:33,078
He's in a medically induced coma
139
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:34,413
at a hospital in Manama.
140
00:05:34,414 --> 00:05:35,580
But the base itself
141
00:05:35,581 --> 00:05:39,384
has taken billions of
dollars' worth of damage
142
00:05:39,385 --> 00:05:41,653
State will need to consult
with DoD to renegotiate
143
00:05:41,654 --> 00:05:44,122
Bahrain's out-of-date
Defense Cooperation Agreement
144
00:05:44,123 --> 00:05:46,324
before another
reconstruction can start.
145
00:05:46,325 --> 00:05:48,348
By Defense Cooperation
Agreement you mean all those
146
00:05:48,349 --> 00:05:50,228
no-bid contracts with
American companies
147
00:05:50,229 --> 00:05:52,664
left over from the
previous administration?
148
00:05:52,665 --> 00:05:54,366
That's the one.
149
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:56,435
Why are we renewing this agreement?
150
00:05:56,436 --> 00:05:57,903
We're less and less reliant
151
00:05:57,904 --> 00:05:59,704
on oil from the Persian Gulf.
152
00:05:59,705 --> 00:06:00,939
And our peace deal with Iran
153
00:06:00,940 --> 00:06:02,974
makes it strategically less important.
154
00:06:02,975 --> 00:06:05,277
And Bahrain's human rights'
record has always been bleak.
155
00:06:05,278 --> 00:06:09,281
It's just gotten worse since
Prince Obaid was assassinated.
156
00:06:09,282 --> 00:06:11,683
Why should we spend billions of dollars
157
00:06:11,684 --> 00:06:14,820
in a country that shares
none of our most basic values?
158
00:06:14,821 --> 00:06:17,389
Well, the primary goal is
to monitor shipping routes.
159
00:06:17,390 --> 00:06:18,723
Once again,
160
00:06:18,724 --> 00:06:20,892
it's a case of supporting
the nations that provide us
161
00:06:20,893 --> 00:06:23,028
with the greatest economic advantage,
162
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:26,832
not those who value democracy
and freedom over...
163
00:06:26,833 --> 00:06:29,534
Yes, Matt, my question
was largely rhetorical.
164
00:06:29,535 --> 00:06:31,703
But I appreciate you being at the ready
165
00:06:31,704 --> 00:06:34,539
- with your political ire.
- Well, I'm always here for you, ma'am.
166
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:37,742
All right, Jay, you should
go ahead and liaise with DoD
167
00:06:37,743 --> 00:06:39,845
about the agreement renegotiation.
168
00:06:39,846 --> 00:06:41,513
But I want to check in
with the president.
169
00:06:41,514 --> 00:06:43,737
Which you can do at the dinner
for his big-ticket donors
170
00:06:43,738 --> 00:06:45,117
in exactly two hours,
171
00:06:45,118 --> 00:06:46,901
leaving you enough time
to go home and change
172
00:06:46,902 --> 00:06:49,454
- if you leave right now.
- Uh, Madam Secretary,
173
00:06:49,455 --> 00:06:52,357
Zuhair Mossadek, the foreign
minister from Tunisia,
174
00:06:52,358 --> 00:06:54,192
is waiting for you in my office.
175
00:06:54,193 --> 00:06:56,595
You scheduled 15 minutes
with him months ago.
176
00:06:56,596 --> 00:06:58,082
Would you prefer that I take
that meeting without you?
177
00:06:58,083 --> 00:07:00,198
No, no, no, no, no.
I-I... just go get him.
178
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,234
If I skip my updo, I can give him...
179
00:07:02,235 --> 00:07:03,301
ten minutes stationary,
180
00:07:03,302 --> 00:07:04,769
five on the move.
181
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:07,539
Come on, guys, get rid of this.
182
00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:09,908
Okay, am I the only one
worried that this primary
183
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:11,076
is a little too exciting
184
00:07:11,077 --> 00:07:12,410
for an incumbent president?
185
00:07:12,411 --> 00:07:13,712
Dalton's polls aren't great.
186
00:07:13,713 --> 00:07:16,148
- Sam Evans' numbers are rising.
- Nobody's gonna vote
187
00:07:16,149 --> 00:07:17,682
for the governor from Pennsylvania.
188
00:07:17,683 --> 00:07:19,084
I mean, what's his platform?
189
00:07:19,085 --> 00:07:20,051
Cheesesteaks?
190
00:07:20,052 --> 00:07:21,686
American-made chocolate? (chuckles)
191
00:07:21,687 --> 00:07:23,688
There's a reason why there's
never been a president
192
00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:24,656
from Pennsylvania.
193
00:07:24,657 --> 00:07:26,525
- James Buchanan.
- Like I said.
194
00:07:26,526 --> 00:07:28,360
JAY: Evans is hammering
195
00:07:28,361 --> 00:07:30,095
on national security,
Dalton's peace treaty with Iran,
196
00:07:30,096 --> 00:07:32,079
- the Buckley trade.
- BLAKE: He would have to win
197
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,932
landslide victories in
every remaining primary
198
00:07:33,933 --> 00:07:34,966
to get the nomination.
199
00:07:34,967 --> 00:07:36,101
It's practically impossible.
200
00:07:36,102 --> 00:07:37,869
Yeah.
201
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:40,372
Practically.
202
00:07:40,373 --> 00:07:41,806
May I remind you that our country
203
00:07:41,807 --> 00:07:44,409
was the spark that lit
the Arab Spring in 2011,
204
00:07:44,410 --> 00:07:46,411
and years later we're
the only Arab country
205
00:07:46,412 --> 00:07:48,513
that emerged with a
functioning democracy.
206
00:07:48,514 --> 00:07:50,315
We have no sectarian divisions,
207
00:07:50,316 --> 00:07:52,551
a history of moderate Islam,
208
00:07:52,552 --> 00:07:54,653
widespread literacy, and a small army
209
00:07:54,654 --> 00:07:56,388
loyal to a civilian government.
210
00:07:56,389 --> 00:07:57,989
We're the best hope in the Muslim world
211
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:59,333
and you know it, Madam Secretary.
212
00:07:59,334 --> 00:08:01,026
And I assure you that everyone
213
00:08:01,027 --> 00:08:02,394
in the president's administration
214
00:08:02,395 --> 00:08:03,628
is aware of that.
215
00:08:03,629 --> 00:08:05,197
So, I'd like to believe the only reason
216
00:08:05,198 --> 00:08:07,232
I'm reduced to following
you to the elevator
217
00:08:07,233 --> 00:08:09,100
to achieve a full 15
minutes of your time
218
00:08:09,101 --> 00:08:12,237
is not because we lack
oil or other resources
219
00:08:12,238 --> 00:08:14,206
for the United States to exploit.
220
00:08:14,207 --> 00:08:16,174
But, well, you can
understand why I might
221
00:08:16,175 --> 00:08:17,142
have that impression.
222
00:08:17,143 --> 00:08:19,778
We appreciate the direction
223
00:08:19,779 --> 00:08:20,845
your country is headed
224
00:08:20,846 --> 00:08:22,180
and we are optimistic that
225
00:08:22,181 --> 00:08:24,649
we can further our good relations.
226
00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:28,420
And as I said,
I will do everything I can.
227
00:08:28,421 --> 00:08:29,964
I never thought that the United States
228
00:08:29,965 --> 00:08:31,256
was a country which acted
229
00:08:31,257 --> 00:08:34,192
entirely out of strategic advantage.
230
00:08:34,193 --> 00:08:36,528
For that, I can depend
on Russia or China.
231
00:08:36,529 --> 00:08:39,296
I thought you represented
something more.
232
00:08:42,634 --> 00:08:45,203
Perhaps I'm just an idealist.
233
00:08:45,204 --> 00:08:47,504
That's what comes from
being a democracy.
234
00:08:50,242 --> 00:08:52,410
HENRY: And we'll pick up
tomorrow with Augustine.
235
00:08:52,411 --> 00:08:55,413
Well, well, look at this.
236
00:08:55,414 --> 00:08:56,448
Did you happen
237
00:08:56,449 --> 00:08:58,049
to catch any philosophy?
238
00:08:58,050 --> 00:08:59,651
Yeah, but I got a strong immune system.
239
00:08:59,652 --> 00:09:00,619
Uh-huh.
240
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:02,220
(chuckles)
241
00:09:02,221 --> 00:09:03,488
You have time for coffee?
242
00:09:03,489 --> 00:09:05,223
Or better yet, happy hour?
243
00:09:05,224 --> 00:09:06,157
I can't.
244
00:09:06,158 --> 00:09:07,959
I've got an event with Elizabeth.
245
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,728
Then I guess I'll do the quick version.
246
00:09:11,517 --> 00:09:12,998
We're getting the band back together.
247
00:09:12,999 --> 00:09:14,032
They sent me
248
00:09:14,033 --> 00:09:14,966
to talk you into it.
249
00:09:14,967 --> 00:09:16,101
Murphy Station? Why?
250
00:09:16,102 --> 00:09:17,335
Black Dog Station.
251
00:09:17,336 --> 00:09:18,670
- New mission.
- Wow.
252
00:09:18,671 --> 00:09:20,705
Russell has got to stop
with the code names.
253
00:09:20,706 --> 00:09:22,040
(chuckles)
254
00:09:22,041 --> 00:09:23,408
What's the objective?
255
00:09:23,409 --> 00:09:25,910
Intel has located
some surviving members
256
00:09:25,911 --> 00:09:28,246
of Hizb Al-Shahid in Libya and Algeria.
257
00:09:28,247 --> 00:09:29,550
Seems that's where they decamped
258
00:09:29,551 --> 00:09:30,982
after the drone attacks.
259
00:09:30,983 --> 00:09:32,450
They want us to finish the job.
260
00:09:32,451 --> 00:09:37,489
Well, look, Jose, as much as I
enjoyed almost dying with you...
261
00:09:37,490 --> 00:09:38,456
Stop whining.
262
00:09:38,457 --> 00:09:39,658
You didn't get a scratch.
263
00:09:39,659 --> 00:09:41,259
Oh, hey, don't forget who performed
264
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,427
the fake last rites on you.
265
00:09:42,428 --> 00:09:44,129
Yeah, and heaven spit me back out.
266
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:46,264
You can thank me for that, too.
267
00:09:46,265 --> 00:09:48,233
Look...
268
00:09:48,234 --> 00:09:49,601
I just started teaching again
269
00:09:49,602 --> 00:09:53,004
and I'm really enjoying having
more time with my family.
270
00:09:53,005 --> 00:09:54,506
Really?
271
00:09:54,507 --> 00:09:57,741
You're gonna sit this out
for Monday night Monopoly?
272
00:09:58,843 --> 00:10:00,812
I didn't get into this
for the adventure.
273
00:10:00,813 --> 00:10:03,381
I know.
274
00:10:03,382 --> 00:10:05,450
You're a great patriot
275
00:10:05,451 --> 00:10:07,419
and the country needs you, pal.
276
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:10,220
And I don't have time to haze
another religious egghead.
277
00:10:10,989 --> 00:10:12,924
Well, when you put it like that,
278
00:10:12,925 --> 00:10:14,259
I'll think about it.
279
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:15,493
Okay.
280
00:10:15,494 --> 00:10:16,895
I'll tell them you're in.
281
00:10:16,896 --> 00:10:18,363
(sighs)
282
00:10:18,364 --> 00:10:19,596
I didn't say that.
283
00:10:25,270 --> 00:10:27,138
This draft looks solid.
284
00:10:27,139 --> 00:10:29,274
Remember, any adjustment
to the rotation schedule
285
00:10:29,275 --> 00:10:31,710
has to meet the definition of
minimum credible deterrence,
286
00:10:31,711 --> 00:10:34,279
so make sure we include
language saying that
287
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,480
the Bahrainis have to consult
288
00:10:35,481 --> 00:10:36,704
with the Secretary of the Navy
289
00:10:36,705 --> 00:10:39,351
- before closing any facilities.
- Got it.
290
00:10:39,352 --> 00:10:42,187
Other than that, we're good to go.
291
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,723
I guess I'll see you next
storm of the century.
292
00:10:44,724 --> 00:10:46,591
Yeah, which will be in what,
about three years?
293
00:10:46,592 --> 00:10:47,592
Let's hope not.
294
00:10:47,593 --> 00:10:49,426
Sure, let's hope. That ought to work.
295
00:10:50,261 --> 00:10:52,964
I'm sorry. It's a bug up my ass.
296
00:10:52,965 --> 00:10:55,400
Just four years ago, the base
in Singapore was hit with
297
00:10:55,401 --> 00:10:57,602
a similar once in a lifetime storm.
298
00:10:57,603 --> 00:10:58,870
Billions of dollars in damage.
299
00:10:58,871 --> 00:11:02,474
These weather events
are happening every year.
300
00:11:02,475 --> 00:11:05,210
And all our internal reports
are falling on deaf ears.
301
00:11:05,211 --> 00:11:07,545
Sea levels are rising.
302
00:11:07,546 --> 00:11:09,147
And what we should be doing is
303
00:11:09,148 --> 00:11:11,915
raising every single U.S.
naval base around the world.
304
00:11:13,451 --> 00:11:15,620
But we both know that'll never happen.
305
00:11:15,621 --> 00:11:17,021
How do we know that?
306
00:11:17,022 --> 00:11:19,056
Ask your boss.
307
00:11:21,226 --> 00:11:24,262
(soft piano music playing,
indistinct chatter)
308
00:11:24,263 --> 00:11:26,564
HENRY: I dare you to yell out
"capital gains tax,"
309
00:11:26,565 --> 00:11:27,699
see what happens.
310
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:30,101
- ELIZABETH: Be safer to yell "fire."
- (chuckles)
311
00:11:30,102 --> 00:11:32,637
- (takes deep breath) Okay.
- (clears throat)
312
00:11:32,638 --> 00:11:34,706
Here we go. Deep breath.
313
00:11:34,707 --> 00:11:36,741
(inhales) Be nice.
314
00:11:36,742 --> 00:11:38,276
What? I'm an ethics teacher.
315
00:11:38,277 --> 00:11:40,712
- I was talking to myself.
- (both laugh)
316
00:11:40,713 --> 00:11:42,380
JACKSON: Okay. So, here's the deal.
317
00:11:42,381 --> 00:11:45,283
You need to charm the
pants off everyone here,
318
00:11:45,284 --> 00:11:47,385
'cause we need their full
support for you as VP.
319
00:11:47,386 --> 00:11:48,653
- Okay.
- You got it?
320
00:11:48,654 --> 00:11:49,988
- Hey.
- Hi, Russell.
321
00:11:49,989 --> 00:11:52,023
Try not to talk about religion.
322
00:11:52,024 --> 00:11:54,407
- No, I only do that for a salary.
- (chuckles) - Great. So,
323
00:11:54,408 --> 00:11:56,861
Bess, first things first.
324
00:11:56,862 --> 00:11:58,263
You need to meet Julius Burton.
325
00:11:58,264 --> 00:12:00,098
ELIZABETH: Lead the way.
326
00:12:00,099 --> 00:12:01,366
Bar.
327
00:12:01,367 --> 00:12:02,734
Yeah.
328
00:12:02,735 --> 00:12:05,770
So, what else do I need to know,
other than billionaire,
329
00:12:05,771 --> 00:12:09,307
multinational conglomerate,
key government contracts,
330
00:12:09,308 --> 00:12:12,577
married for 32 years to Dixie...
if I read that right...
331
00:12:12,578 --> 00:12:14,646
two sons and four grandchildren?
332
00:12:14,647 --> 00:12:16,848
He's a birder.
333
00:12:16,849 --> 00:12:19,551
He watches birds.
You know, with binoculars.
334
00:12:19,552 --> 00:12:21,419
For some reason, people do that.
335
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:22,821
Julius!
336
00:12:22,822 --> 00:12:26,424
- Madam Secretary, a pleasure to
meet you at last. - (chuckles)
337
00:12:26,425 --> 00:12:28,226
Even more lovely in person.
338
00:12:28,227 --> 00:12:30,161
- Well, thank you, Mr. Burton.
- Julius.
339
00:12:30,162 --> 00:12:32,030
Uh, is Dixie here tonight?
340
00:12:32,031 --> 00:12:34,933
We lost her to the caviar table.
341
00:12:34,934 --> 00:12:36,568
- (laughing): Oh.
- (laughs)
342
00:12:36,569 --> 00:12:39,671
I hope you won't mind
a moment of shop talk.
343
00:12:39,672 --> 00:12:41,439
Oh. Please.
344
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,675
How is the refurbishment process going,
345
00:12:43,676 --> 00:12:45,477
on the naval base in Bahrain?
346
00:12:45,478 --> 00:12:50,014
I heard that your policy guy
met with somebody in DoD
347
00:12:50,015 --> 00:12:51,398
- just this afternoon.
- Redrafting
348
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:54,319
the Defense Cooperation Agreement, yes.
349
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,287
I hope that you will
make this a priority.
350
00:12:56,288 --> 00:13:00,692
I know the State can get
distracted with other matters,
351
00:13:00,693 --> 00:13:04,395
but it is dangerous to leave
our military needs stranded.
352
00:13:04,396 --> 00:13:06,764
I understand. W... we actually...
353
00:13:06,765 --> 00:13:08,166
were a military family
354
00:13:08,167 --> 00:13:10,401
- for a long time...
- The world is safer
355
00:13:10,402 --> 00:13:11,669
when our bases are safer.
356
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:15,573
Bad weather can become a
matter of national security.
357
00:13:15,574 --> 00:13:16,941
Right.
358
00:13:16,942 --> 00:13:19,911
But when you have a company
359
00:13:19,912 --> 00:13:22,080
with a no-bid contract
for military bases,
360
00:13:22,081 --> 00:13:24,782
you can't exactly consider
it bad weather, right?
361
00:13:24,783 --> 00:13:27,485
- (laughs)
- (Jackson clears throat)
362
00:13:27,486 --> 00:13:29,420
Speaking of nature,
I hear you're a birder.
363
00:13:29,421 --> 00:13:30,421
Tell me about that.
364
00:13:30,422 --> 00:13:32,423
(chuckling): Well...
365
00:13:32,424 --> 00:13:34,359
It started in college...
366
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,660
Hello, Henry.
367
00:13:35,661 --> 00:13:37,662
Conrad. Good to see you.
368
00:13:37,663 --> 00:13:39,864
Lydia's hoping to carve
out a moment with you.
369
00:13:39,865 --> 00:13:42,300
First spouse to second
spouse kind of thing.
370
00:13:42,301 --> 00:13:43,434
I'll give you a heads-up
371
00:13:43,435 --> 00:13:45,737
about the relentless
scrutiny headed your way.
372
00:13:45,738 --> 00:13:46,905
Don't let it scare you.
373
00:13:46,906 --> 00:13:48,606
I think I can handle it.
374
00:13:48,607 --> 00:13:50,675
The husband of the
vice president isn't exactly
375
00:13:50,676 --> 00:13:52,443
a high-profile element of the campaign.
376
00:13:52,444 --> 00:13:55,280
You'd be surprised.
You test pretty well.
377
00:13:55,281 --> 00:13:58,016
I'm afraid they're gonna try
you out in front of the cameras
378
00:13:58,017 --> 00:13:59,684
any chance they get.
379
00:13:59,685 --> 00:14:01,920
I hope you don't have
any pie in the sky plans
380
00:14:01,921 --> 00:14:03,353
for a life of your own.
381
00:14:04,822 --> 00:14:08,092
Made one tiny little joke
382
00:14:08,093 --> 00:14:09,661
which he totally had coming,
383
00:14:09,662 --> 00:14:12,897
and Russell acted like
I barfed on the guy.
384
00:14:12,898 --> 00:14:14,566
He probably would've preferred that.
385
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:16,434
(sighs) What if I can't do this?
386
00:14:16,435 --> 00:14:18,269
You can do it.
387
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:20,605
You just got to think
of the bigger picture.
388
00:14:20,606 --> 00:14:24,841
Tonight was just not
a fun night. That's all.
389
00:14:26,611 --> 00:14:27,579
What happened?
390
00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:29,881
(sighs) Just...
391
00:14:29,882 --> 00:14:31,950
Conrad gave me a speech about
392
00:14:31,951 --> 00:14:34,352
when they campaign, we campaign,
393
00:14:34,353 --> 00:14:37,221
and so I should maybe
cut back on my work.
394
00:14:37,222 --> 00:14:39,023
Well, that's crazy.
395
00:14:39,024 --> 00:14:42,193
You... you're not even
teaching that many classes.
396
00:14:42,194 --> 00:14:44,662
He wasn't talking about teaching.
397
00:14:44,663 --> 00:14:46,930
Jose came to see me today.
398
00:14:47,665 --> 00:14:48,866
(sighs) They're...
399
00:14:48,867 --> 00:14:50,170
they're putting together another
400
00:14:50,171 --> 00:14:52,171
anti-terror work group.
I didn't commit.
401
00:14:52,804 --> 00:14:54,772
But you wanted to.
402
00:14:54,773 --> 00:14:56,841
And now you feel like you can't.
403
00:14:56,842 --> 00:14:58,810
This is crazy.
404
00:14:58,811 --> 00:15:01,179
We actually have jobs that
make a difference in the world
405
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:03,948
and we're giving them up? For what?
406
00:15:03,949 --> 00:15:06,618
For county fairs and
billionaire dinners?
407
00:15:06,619 --> 00:15:08,152
That's just the campaign.
408
00:15:08,153 --> 00:15:10,355
The job is still kind of important.
409
00:15:10,356 --> 00:15:11,956
Do you remember what Conrad said
410
00:15:11,957 --> 00:15:14,060
when he first talked to you
about secretary of state?
411
00:15:14,061 --> 00:15:16,194
That we could effect
real change in the world.
412
00:15:16,195 --> 00:15:19,030
Exactly. This is an even bigger
opportunity to do that.
413
00:15:19,031 --> 00:15:20,831
- (sighs)
- You got to take it.
414
00:15:21,866 --> 00:15:22,934
ELIZABETH: Good morning.
415
00:15:22,935 --> 00:15:24,302
- Hi, Mom.
- Morning. - Hi.
416
00:15:24,303 --> 00:15:26,904
Sorry, my hair staged a rebellion.
417
00:15:26,905 --> 00:15:27,872
You look great.
418
00:15:27,873 --> 00:15:29,040
Totally vice presidential.
419
00:15:29,041 --> 00:15:30,575
- Jason.
- Jason. - I told you,
420
00:15:30,576 --> 00:15:34,245
that information is on
complete lockdown until July.
421
00:15:34,246 --> 00:15:35,647
- We're in our house.
- Still,
422
00:15:35,648 --> 00:15:37,704
you have to pretend like
you don't know anything.
423
00:15:37,705 --> 00:15:40,018
Seriously. Ignorance as a plus?
This is your moment.
424
00:15:40,019 --> 00:15:42,220
Really, pal. You got to
toe the line on this one.
425
00:15:42,221 --> 00:15:44,489
- Okay, I got it.
- STEVIE: Guys,
426
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,658
look at the flat Jareth
found for us in Oxford
427
00:15:46,659 --> 00:15:48,893
on Airbnb. Isn't it amazing?
428
00:15:48,894 --> 00:15:51,896
You're inviting us over, right?
Summer in England?
429
00:15:51,897 --> 00:15:53,197
That would be so cool.
430
00:15:53,198 --> 00:15:55,199
Okay. My computer
is officially possessed.
431
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,601
- It keeps crashing.
- ALISON: Maybe
432
00:15:56,602 --> 00:15:58,505
it's embarrassed you're
still playing Minecraft.
433
00:15:58,506 --> 00:15:59,303
(laughter)
434
00:15:59,304 --> 00:16:01,407
I'm trying to upload my
homework assignment.
435
00:16:01,408 --> 00:16:03,311
It's been acting like this
for a couple of days.
436
00:16:03,312 --> 00:16:04,609
Here, give it to me.
437
00:16:04,610 --> 00:16:07,378
I'll take it to the White House,
see if Oliver Shaw can fix it.
438
00:16:07,379 --> 00:16:10,002
ELIZABETH: Isn't that overkill?
Well, I've got to go there anyway.
439
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,817
Check in with Jose, officially
turn down the consulting gig.
440
00:16:12,818 --> 00:16:15,219
Figure I might as well enjoy
the last of the perks.
441
00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:16,587
I think there might be some perks
442
00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:17,731
to being Mr. Vice President.
443
00:16:17,732 --> 00:16:19,490
- ALL: Jason!
- I'm sorry!
444
00:16:19,491 --> 00:16:21,325
♪
445
00:16:21,326 --> 00:16:23,728
The guy at DoD gave me
a not-so-subtle prompt
446
00:16:23,729 --> 00:16:25,697
to go digging for internal reports.
447
00:16:25,698 --> 00:16:28,499
Turns out there were several
over the last decade
448
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,502
about rising sea levels and
extreme weather patterns.
449
00:16:31,503 --> 00:16:34,138
That's not exactly breaking news, Jay.
450
00:16:34,139 --> 00:16:38,342
As well as several proposals to
raise all naval bases to prepare,
451
00:16:38,343 --> 00:16:40,311
something Burton Standard
Enterprises knew
452
00:16:40,312 --> 00:16:42,814
when they refurbished the
Bahraini base two years ago.
453
00:16:42,815 --> 00:16:44,682
Okay, that's different.
454
00:16:44,683 --> 00:16:46,350
They ignored the proposal. Why?
455
00:16:46,351 --> 00:16:48,986
Because according to Congress,
sea levels aren't rising.
456
00:16:48,987 --> 00:16:51,189
And if we did raise the bases,
457
00:16:51,190 --> 00:16:55,793
that would trigger an entirely
new agreement negotiation.
458
00:16:55,794 --> 00:16:58,262
And guys like Julius Burton
459
00:16:58,263 --> 00:17:00,732
would probably lose
their no-bid contracts.
460
00:17:00,733 --> 00:17:03,267
All along DoD has been
clear that climate change
461
00:17:03,268 --> 00:17:05,491
is one of the biggest looming
threats to forces overseas
462
00:17:05,492 --> 00:17:09,307
because they actually
have to prepare for reality.
463
00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:11,771
But the party's deluded stance
on the issue has prevented them
464
00:17:11,772 --> 00:17:13,177
from doing anything about it.
465
00:17:13,178 --> 00:17:16,748
(sighs) Just... I'm sorry.
Just venting.
466
00:17:16,749 --> 00:17:19,250
I know there's nothing we can do.
467
00:17:19,251 --> 00:17:22,385
That's what they always say.
468
00:17:24,422 --> 00:17:26,791
Until somebody does.
469
00:17:26,792 --> 00:17:28,659
What day is it?
470
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:30,695
Wednesday?
471
00:17:30,696 --> 00:17:33,330
Let's change the world.
472
00:17:39,459 --> 00:17:41,428
(typing) Oh, this is not good.
473
00:17:41,429 --> 00:17:44,231
- What?
- Someone's hacked into the webcam.
474
00:17:44,232 --> 00:17:46,366
Looks like they've been
turning it on and watching
475
00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:48,030
every time he's connected
to the Internet.
476
00:17:48,031 --> 00:17:50,437
- How... can that happen?
- It could be a
477
00:17:50,438 --> 00:17:53,507
piece of Trojan software buried
in a game he downloaded.
478
00:17:53,508 --> 00:17:55,842
Some computer-savvy creep at school
479
00:17:55,843 --> 00:17:59,212
could have uploaded it
without his knowing. Or...
480
00:17:59,213 --> 00:18:01,148
it could be something else.
481
00:18:01,149 --> 00:18:02,783
And given who Jason's parents are,
482
00:18:02,784 --> 00:18:05,986
the security implications
could be larger.
483
00:18:05,987 --> 00:18:07,621
Right.
484
00:18:07,622 --> 00:18:10,424
You should take this to the
FBI for further examination.
485
00:18:10,425 --> 00:18:12,225
Just to be safe.
486
00:18:12,226 --> 00:18:14,161
Okay. Yeah.
487
00:18:14,162 --> 00:18:17,497
Uh... Thanks, Oliver.
488
00:18:17,498 --> 00:18:19,199
JACKSON: Did you know
489
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,401
that sugar subsidies totaled
490
00:18:21,402 --> 00:18:24,905
over $258 million in the last year?
491
00:18:24,906 --> 00:18:26,773
Imagine how many soldiers
492
00:18:26,774 --> 00:18:28,942
we can put in body
armor with that money.
493
00:18:28,943 --> 00:18:32,913
If we want to unleash the free
market and keep America safe,
494
00:18:32,914 --> 00:18:36,669
we can't afford four more
years of frivolous handouts.
495
00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:40,087
Frivolous? Governor, I'll tell you
what's frivolous: a politician
496
00:18:40,088 --> 00:18:42,289
who talks a big game about
supporting the military
497
00:18:42,290 --> 00:18:45,292
and then criticizes the very
policies that keep us safe.
498
00:18:45,293 --> 00:18:46,276
JESSICA: I wouldn't jump
499
00:18:46,277 --> 00:18:47,661
on the word "frivolous."
500
00:18:47,662 --> 00:18:49,629
It makes you sound...
501
00:18:49,630 --> 00:18:51,364
Frivolous?
502
00:18:51,365 --> 00:18:52,966
But he started it.
503
00:18:52,967 --> 00:18:55,602
- (laughter)
- ELIZABETH: Sorry to interrupt.
504
00:18:55,603 --> 00:18:57,671
Sir, we need to talk.
How are you, Russell?
505
00:18:57,672 --> 00:19:00,207
- I am very Sam Evans.
- That can't be fun.
506
00:19:00,208 --> 00:19:03,176
- Take a seat. I could use a break.
- I need to know why,
507
00:19:03,177 --> 00:19:05,378
when every respected climate scientist
508
00:19:05,379 --> 00:19:08,115
in the country had warned
that the Bahraini base
509
00:19:08,116 --> 00:19:09,816
was subject to damage from cyclones,
510
00:19:09,817 --> 00:19:13,186
Burton Standard Enterprises did
nothing to address the problem
511
00:19:13,187 --> 00:19:15,122
when it refurbished the
base just two years ago?
512
00:19:15,123 --> 00:19:16,823
Okay.
513
00:19:16,824 --> 00:19:19,291
Can we have the room?
514
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,394
- I'm s... sorry. I thought...
- Ah.
515
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:26,165
I thought that they should hear it.
516
00:19:27,968 --> 00:19:30,237
You thought the campaign team
517
00:19:30,238 --> 00:19:33,006
should hear you lighting
into the business practices
518
00:19:33,007 --> 00:19:34,808
of one of the president's
biggest donors?
519
00:19:34,809 --> 00:19:36,109
Much bigger than that.
520
00:19:36,110 --> 00:19:37,377
What?
521
00:19:37,378 --> 00:19:38,612
It's not just the denial
522
00:19:38,613 --> 00:19:40,947
of climate change
that's holding us back,
523
00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:43,350
even the location of the base
is further evidence that
524
00:19:43,351 --> 00:19:45,685
we're stuck in old thinking.
525
00:19:45,686 --> 00:19:48,955
Why are we still in Bahrain at all?
526
00:19:48,956 --> 00:19:50,757
Why should the U.S.
527
00:19:50,758 --> 00:19:53,927
spend its blood and treasure
in the Persian Gulf,
528
00:19:53,928 --> 00:19:57,864
aiding and defending states with
atrocious human rights records,
529
00:19:57,865 --> 00:20:02,202
while countries like Tunisia...
who actually share our values...
530
00:20:02,203 --> 00:20:03,603
go unaided?
531
00:20:03,604 --> 00:20:06,439
As poetic as that sounds, Bess,
532
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,308
that's a pretty simplified take on
533
00:20:08,309 --> 00:20:10,143
one of the world's most
complicated regions.
534
00:20:10,144 --> 00:20:11,945
There's this new thing called terrorism.
535
00:20:11,946 --> 00:20:13,213
It's really catching on.
536
00:20:13,214 --> 00:20:17,050
Bahrain has nothing to do with
our strategy to fight terrorism.
537
00:20:17,051 --> 00:20:19,553
And we need to be honest with ourselves
538
00:20:19,554 --> 00:20:22,255
about the real challenges we face,
539
00:20:22,256 --> 00:20:25,325
or we are going to face a future
540
00:20:25,326 --> 00:20:29,796
with more and more American
lives sacrificed, and for what?
541
00:20:29,797 --> 00:20:32,833
Preserving the power of
people like Julius Burton?
542
00:20:32,834 --> 00:20:34,901
I mean, exactly when
did the United States
543
00:20:34,902 --> 00:20:37,604
start making every decision based on
544
00:20:37,605 --> 00:20:40,407
strategic and politically
expedient reasons?
545
00:20:40,408 --> 00:20:42,843
If we partner with nations
546
00:20:42,844 --> 00:20:45,812
just to remain dominant
on the world stage,
547
00:20:45,813 --> 00:20:48,415
how are we any less imperialistic
548
00:20:48,416 --> 00:20:49,816
than Russia or China?
549
00:20:49,817 --> 00:20:52,018
I think we are at a
550
00:20:52,019 --> 00:20:54,354
critical juncture in human history
551
00:20:54,355 --> 00:20:57,524
and the U.S. needs
to completely overhaul
552
00:20:57,525 --> 00:21:00,327
its relationship with the
international community.
553
00:21:00,328 --> 00:21:03,296
How could you seriously
suggest a complete change
554
00:21:03,297 --> 00:21:06,333
of U.S. foreign policy
during an election
555
00:21:06,334 --> 00:21:07,567
which I am barely winning?
556
00:21:07,568 --> 00:21:09,202
I'm already backed against the wall
557
00:21:09,203 --> 00:21:11,638
for allowing a dirty
bomb attack on my watch,
558
00:21:11,639 --> 00:21:14,040
not to mention trading a
treacherous spy to the Russians
559
00:21:14,041 --> 00:21:17,210
for reasons that I can't disclose.
560
00:21:17,211 --> 00:21:20,080
And now you expect me to
explain to the American people
561
00:21:20,081 --> 00:21:22,315
that I'm going to pull stakes on
562
00:21:22,316 --> 00:21:24,784
a major strategic position
in the Middle East?
563
00:21:24,785 --> 00:21:28,287
And totally alienate my
biggest donor in the process?
564
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:32,392
What good is bold idealism
565
00:21:32,393 --> 00:21:35,061
if it all but guarantees
the loss of a second term?
566
00:21:35,062 --> 00:21:38,398
I'm talking about doing what's right.
567
00:21:38,399 --> 00:21:40,899
And I'm talking about winning.
568
00:21:42,432 --> 00:21:44,029
HENRY: You're not gonna get fired.
569
00:21:44,030 --> 00:21:46,453
Because that would be a crazy
thing to do during an election,
570
00:21:46,454 --> 00:21:48,408
because you're too valuable.
571
00:21:48,409 --> 00:21:50,477
Should've said that one first.
572
00:21:50,478 --> 00:21:52,479
I'm sure he's rethinking
the VP position.
573
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,314
And I can't really blame him.
574
00:21:54,315 --> 00:21:56,116
Don't worry about it. I'm sure that
575
00:21:56,117 --> 00:21:58,084
Conrad appreciates your passion.
576
00:21:58,085 --> 00:21:59,519
Okay, let's go with that one.
577
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,088
How's your day? Did you get
578
00:22:02,089 --> 00:22:03,290
Jason's computer fixed?
579
00:22:03,291 --> 00:22:05,659
Well, I'm afraid that's more bad news.
580
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,027
It got hacked somehow.
581
00:22:07,028 --> 00:22:08,771
It's probably just some
kids fooling around,
582
00:22:08,772 --> 00:22:10,397
but I'm taking it to the FBI
583
00:22:10,398 --> 00:22:12,132
to make sure it's not a
more serious breach.
584
00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:12,841
Really?
585
00:22:12,842 --> 00:22:15,265
Yeah, it's probably that kid
George from his chemistry class.
586
00:22:15,266 --> 00:22:16,569
You know, the troll?
587
00:22:16,570 --> 00:22:18,738
- That's not nice.
- No, no. He's a troller.
588
00:22:18,739 --> 00:22:19,906
He trolls.
589
00:22:19,907 --> 00:22:21,875
Uh, he hacked a
cheerleader's Tumblr account.
590
00:22:21,876 --> 00:22:23,810
Well...
591
00:22:23,811 --> 00:22:25,979
(grunting)
592
00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:28,480
(tires screech)
593
00:22:30,650 --> 00:22:32,552
Henry, are you there?
594
00:22:32,553 --> 00:22:34,853
Henry?
595
00:22:39,075 --> 00:22:41,444
- Guys, we're home.
- Hey.
596
00:22:41,445 --> 00:22:43,546
- Are you okay?
- Yes, please, no fussing.
597
00:22:43,547 --> 00:22:44,814
- Dad!
- I'm fine, I'm fine.
598
00:22:44,815 --> 00:22:47,160
Dad, you were mugged. It's a big deal.
599
00:22:47,161 --> 00:22:48,624
Oh, come on, he was in Desert Storm.
600
00:22:48,625 --> 00:22:49,663
He's probably fine.
601
00:22:49,664 --> 00:22:50,931
Plenty of people survive
war and then get killed
602
00:22:50,932 --> 00:22:52,232
in stupid acts of gun violence.
603
00:22:52,233 --> 00:22:54,201
There was no gun.
This was bat violence.
604
00:22:54,202 --> 00:22:55,502
ALISON: Did you break anything?
605
00:22:55,503 --> 00:22:56,970
I cracked two ribs, but they're two
606
00:22:56,971 --> 00:22:58,434
I don't use very often, so I'm fine.
607
00:22:58,435 --> 00:23:00,040
Okay, grab a seat, Captain Stoical.
608
00:23:00,041 --> 00:23:02,876
Jace, I'm sorry,
but they got your computer.
609
00:23:02,877 --> 00:23:04,578
JASON: It's jacked-up anyway.
610
00:23:04,579 --> 00:23:05,545
I'm psyched for the upgrade.
611
00:23:05,546 --> 00:23:07,013
Okay, look, why don't you guys go in
612
00:23:07,014 --> 00:23:09,335
and make some dinner and Dad
will limp in in a few minutes.
613
00:23:09,336 --> 00:23:10,436
Yeah, okay, come on, guys.
614
00:23:10,437 --> 00:23:11,284
Operation Tacos?
615
00:23:11,285 --> 00:23:12,252
No, grilled cheese.
616
00:23:12,253 --> 00:23:14,120
No, ramen. It never lets you down.
617
00:23:14,121 --> 00:23:16,623
So, no other news from the FBI?
618
00:23:16,624 --> 00:23:18,558
No, the plates were untraceable.
619
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:20,327
They said we shouldn't
jump to conclusions.
620
00:23:20,328 --> 00:23:21,861
Like it was a concerted,
621
00:23:21,862 --> 00:23:23,830
organized effort to get the computer?
622
00:23:23,831 --> 00:23:25,332
Yeah, like that.
623
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:27,500
Anyway,
624
00:23:27,501 --> 00:23:29,084
they're handling it now.
We shouldn't worry about it.
625
00:23:29,085 --> 00:23:30,637
Great, I feel completely relaxed.
626
00:23:30,638 --> 00:23:32,706
And I've got this Jane
Pauley interview.
627
00:23:32,707 --> 00:23:34,207
Do you want me to cancel?
628
00:23:34,208 --> 00:23:35,542
No, of course not.
629
00:23:35,543 --> 00:23:37,573
We've got plenty of time
to stress about this.
630
00:23:37,574 --> 00:23:38,517
Plus, if you stay here,
631
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:40,413
you'll have to eat grilled
cheese ramen tacos.
632
00:23:40,414 --> 00:23:41,917
- Go, save yourself.
- (laughs): Okay.
633
00:23:41,918 --> 00:23:44,285
- Bye.
- Bye.
634
00:23:45,352 --> 00:23:46,586
So, Madam Secretary,
635
00:23:46,587 --> 00:23:50,509
with the presidential primary
debate only moments away,
636
00:23:50,510 --> 00:23:53,646
it's a good time to address
the elephant in the room.
637
00:23:53,647 --> 00:23:56,682
If President Dalton
secures the nomination,
638
00:23:56,683 --> 00:24:00,519
do you expect to be offered
the position of vice president?
639
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,555
And will you accept?
640
00:24:02,556 --> 00:24:05,057
Well, I am unfamiliar
641
00:24:05,058 --> 00:24:07,426
with that elephant.
642
00:24:07,427 --> 00:24:10,029
Well, you can't be unfamiliar,
with the speculation
643
00:24:10,030 --> 00:24:14,433
that Vice President Delgado
having health problems, that
644
00:24:14,434 --> 00:24:15,937
you are the most obvious replacement.
645
00:24:15,938 --> 00:24:19,338
Look, uh, the president still
has the nomination to win
646
00:24:19,339 --> 00:24:24,377
and I, I am, well, I have my
hands full with my day job.
647
00:24:24,378 --> 00:24:26,078
Speaking of that,
648
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,914
the recent superstorm
that severely damaged
649
00:24:28,915 --> 00:24:31,917
a U.S. naval base in Bahrain
650
00:24:31,918 --> 00:24:34,687
could bring up the ongoing question
651
00:24:34,688 --> 00:24:36,355
of climate change.
652
00:24:36,356 --> 00:24:37,890
This is the third
653
00:24:37,891 --> 00:24:40,593
or fourth storm of the century
654
00:24:40,594 --> 00:24:42,361
in the last decade.
655
00:24:42,362 --> 00:24:45,331
So it's beginning to look
less like a freak of nature
656
00:24:45,332 --> 00:24:48,267
than maybe a pattern of nature.
657
00:24:48,268 --> 00:24:51,037
It's very difficult to say
658
00:24:51,038 --> 00:24:55,007
that one storm is irrefutable evidence
659
00:24:55,008 --> 00:24:57,276
of changing weather patterns...
660
00:24:57,277 --> 00:24:59,445
I understand that, but
do you, Madam Secretary,
661
00:24:59,446 --> 00:25:03,448
believe that climate change is real?
662
00:25:05,317 --> 00:25:09,287
It's not a matter of belief.
663
00:25:10,823 --> 00:25:14,760
Based on the consensus
in the scientific community,
664
00:25:14,761 --> 00:25:17,430
I am convinced it's a significant issue
665
00:25:17,431 --> 00:25:19,365
that needs to be addressed.
666
00:25:19,366 --> 00:25:22,301
Are you breaking rank
with the president
667
00:25:22,302 --> 00:25:24,270
and the party on this?
668
00:25:24,271 --> 00:25:26,572
Well, I-I've never
669
00:25:26,573 --> 00:25:29,575
been an official member
of any political party.
670
00:25:29,576 --> 00:25:31,811
I'm not a partisan politician.
671
00:25:31,812 --> 00:25:33,879
I'm a public servant.
672
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,817
That is an excellent clarification.
673
00:25:37,818 --> 00:25:39,485
JAY: Madam Secretary?
674
00:25:39,486 --> 00:25:41,520
Hey, Jay.
675
00:25:41,521 --> 00:25:43,521
You're starting to look at
home in the White House.
676
00:25:43,522 --> 00:25:45,225
You ready for some
varsity debate analysis?
677
00:25:45,226 --> 00:25:47,093
Yes, ma'am, but first I have to say
678
00:25:47,094 --> 00:25:49,228
I'm pleasantly taken
aback and full of awe
679
00:25:49,229 --> 00:25:50,629
and admiration
680
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:52,998
and that I have your back
no matter how this turns out.
681
00:25:52,999 --> 00:25:54,266
Great.
682
00:25:54,267 --> 00:25:55,810
(whispers): What are we talking about?
683
00:25:55,811 --> 00:25:57,803
Your performance on the show just now.
684
00:25:57,804 --> 00:25:59,939
Oh, the VP thing?
685
00:25:59,940 --> 00:26:01,240
I felt I skirted that.
686
00:26:01,241 --> 00:26:02,608
No, no, climate change.
687
00:26:02,609 --> 00:26:04,276
Oh, come on, that was just chatter.
688
00:26:04,277 --> 00:26:06,912
Bono was on afterwards
to discuss his endorsement.
689
00:26:06,913 --> 00:26:08,080
People were just...
690
00:26:08,081 --> 00:26:09,615
Are you completely insane?!
691
00:26:09,616 --> 00:26:12,451
Well, the test results aren't back yet,
692
00:26:12,452 --> 00:26:14,220
- but...
- You think this is funny?
693
00:26:14,221 --> 00:26:17,690
You have created a
firestorm inside the party.
694
00:26:17,691 --> 00:26:19,058
Social media's blowing up.
695
00:26:19,059 --> 00:26:20,459
It's gonna lead every news...
696
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:22,495
It was a personal question.
697
00:26:22,496 --> 00:26:24,530
And I'm not gonna lie
on national television.
698
00:26:24,531 --> 00:26:26,332
The president understands
699
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:29,268
the difference between personal
honesty and party politics.
700
00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:32,505
The president understands
there's an election to win.
701
00:26:32,506 --> 00:26:34,206
And if you care at all about him,
702
00:26:34,207 --> 00:26:36,709
or advancing your own agenda,
703
00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:39,378
you'll keep your mouth
shut about climate change
704
00:26:39,379 --> 00:26:41,313
till the end of time.
705
00:26:41,314 --> 00:26:43,949
Which may come sooner than you think.
706
00:26:43,950 --> 00:26:45,813
You'd better hope it does.
Where are you going?
707
00:26:45,814 --> 00:26:46,919
I've changed my mind.
708
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,920
I'm gonna watch the debate at home.
709
00:26:50,756 --> 00:26:52,558
He's in V-fib.
710
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:53,559
Start compressions.
711
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,983
DOCTOR: Epinephrine, one milligram.
712
00:26:54,984 --> 00:26:56,662
Get me the AED.
713
00:26:56,663 --> 00:26:58,730
- Clear.
- Clear.
714
00:26:58,998 --> 00:27:00,232
Recharge?
715
00:27:00,233 --> 00:27:01,233
Stand back.
716
00:27:01,234 --> 00:27:03,435
DOCTOR: Clear!
717
00:27:03,436 --> 00:27:04,904
You're ready, Mr. President.
718
00:27:04,905 --> 00:27:07,205
(phone buzzes)
719
00:27:08,574 --> 00:27:09,708
Hello.
720
00:27:09,709 --> 00:27:11,043
We just got word.
721
00:27:11,044 --> 00:27:12,978
Ensign Kelley didn't make it.
722
00:27:12,979 --> 00:27:15,681
News is gonna break shortly.
723
00:27:15,682 --> 00:27:17,316
It could come up in the debate.
724
00:27:17,317 --> 00:27:18,984
I understand.
725
00:27:18,985 --> 00:27:21,220
I'd like you to connect
me to the family.
726
00:27:21,221 --> 00:27:23,355
Right now, sir?
727
00:27:23,356 --> 00:27:24,590
Yes, now.
728
00:27:24,591 --> 00:27:26,959
I'd like a moment, please.
729
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,127
It's fine.
730
00:27:28,128 --> 00:27:29,861
I'll see you out there.
731
00:27:32,798 --> 00:27:34,900
Mr. and Mrs. Kelley?
732
00:27:34,901 --> 00:27:38,604
I want to tell you how
sorry I am for your loss
733
00:27:38,605 --> 00:27:40,739
and to thank you for
the enormous sacrifice
734
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:44,677
that Sean made for his country
and his fellow crewmen.
735
00:27:44,678 --> 00:27:46,345
I understand he held onto that cable
736
00:27:46,346 --> 00:27:49,949
until every sailor had
made it to safety.
737
00:27:49,950 --> 00:27:53,452
All of those men and their
families are in his debt.
738
00:27:53,453 --> 00:27:55,720
God be with you.
739
00:27:58,490 --> 00:27:59,992
EVANS: Every moment
740
00:27:59,993 --> 00:28:03,229
of this presidency has been a failure
741
00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:05,865
born of incompetency and cowardice.
742
00:28:05,866 --> 00:28:08,133
A dirty bomb attack on American soil.
743
00:28:08,134 --> 00:28:10,669
A gutless, lenient
peace deal with Iran.
744
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:12,771
Appeasement of Russia
with the shameful trade
745
00:28:12,772 --> 00:28:15,207
of the notorious spy Peter Buckley.
746
00:28:15,208 --> 00:28:19,345
It reveals a president
catastrophically soft on defense
747
00:28:19,346 --> 00:28:21,513
and unsupportive of
the American military.
748
00:28:21,514 --> 00:28:24,583
(applause)
749
00:28:24,584 --> 00:28:28,220
Now...
750
00:28:28,221 --> 00:28:30,689
now we hear a base in Bahrain
751
00:28:30,690 --> 00:28:33,453
has been destroyed by cyclone
winds, and just moments ago,
752
00:28:33,454 --> 00:28:35,822
we learned that Ensign Sean Kelley,
753
00:28:35,823 --> 00:28:38,825
after remaining in a coma
for several days, has died.
754
00:28:38,826 --> 00:28:41,261
Ladies and gentlemen,
even in peacetime,
755
00:28:41,262 --> 00:28:43,430
Dalton cannot seem to protect
756
00:28:43,431 --> 00:28:47,067
our men and women in uniform.
757
00:28:47,068 --> 00:28:50,269
President Dalton, your response?
758
00:28:56,176 --> 00:28:58,478
Ensign Sean Kelley's death
759
00:28:58,479 --> 00:29:02,582
was not caused by so-called
"soft support of the military,"
760
00:29:02,583 --> 00:29:05,986
but because of a willful
denial of reality
761
00:29:05,987 --> 00:29:07,788
by many in Washington
762
00:29:07,789 --> 00:29:09,323
and in my own party,
763
00:29:09,324 --> 00:29:11,725
including Governor Evans.
764
00:29:11,726 --> 00:29:13,627
(scoffs)
765
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:15,228
And that reality is climate change.
766
00:29:15,229 --> 00:29:17,230
The extreme weather patterns
767
00:29:17,231 --> 00:29:19,333
and rising sea levels around the world.
768
00:29:19,334 --> 00:29:21,835
Because we remain in denial about that,
769
00:29:21,836 --> 00:29:24,905
our naval bases around
the globe remain unsafe,
770
00:29:24,906 --> 00:29:26,373
and our military men and women
771
00:29:26,374 --> 00:29:30,177
who occupy them remain
at unnecessary risk.
772
00:29:30,178 --> 00:29:32,646
This scientifically proven reality
773
00:29:32,647 --> 00:29:35,549
will continue to be a grave threat
774
00:29:35,550 --> 00:29:38,885
to both military and civilian
populations everywhere
775
00:29:38,886 --> 00:29:42,222
until we take serious and
specific action to address it.
776
00:29:42,223 --> 00:29:43,457
And why don't we?
777
00:29:43,458 --> 00:29:46,760
Because this reality doesn't serve us.
778
00:29:46,761 --> 00:29:49,463
It doesn't serve the false
construct of foreign policy.
779
00:29:49,464 --> 00:29:51,798
It keeps us beholden to
nations who have resources
780
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,734
we think we need.
781
00:29:53,735 --> 00:29:56,203
Instead of committing
ourselves to nations
782
00:29:56,204 --> 00:29:59,239
who espouse and live and
breathe the values we share.
783
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,309
The values of freedom and democracy
784
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:04,044
and basic human rights.
785
00:30:04,045 --> 00:30:05,712
Economic and political gamesmanship
786
00:30:05,713 --> 00:30:09,616
makes us no better than the
imperial countries we censure.
787
00:30:09,617 --> 00:30:11,918
We need to lead by example.
788
00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:13,954
If elected to a second term,
789
00:30:13,955 --> 00:30:17,324
I vow to prepare the United
States for a changing world.
790
00:30:17,325 --> 00:30:20,594
Changing rapidly due
to a warming climate
791
00:30:20,595 --> 00:30:22,496
and shifting global allegiances.
792
00:30:22,497 --> 00:30:24,731
I will do this against all opposition,
793
00:30:24,732 --> 00:30:26,600
including inside my own party.
794
00:30:26,601 --> 00:30:29,369
Because as President
Lyndon Johnson said
795
00:30:29,370 --> 00:30:32,005
when he signed the Civil
Rights Act of 1964,
796
00:30:32,006 --> 00:30:35,142
risking his party's political
future to do the right thing,
797
00:30:35,143 --> 00:30:38,345
"What the hell's the presidency for?"
798
00:30:38,346 --> 00:30:40,713
(applause and clamoring)
799
00:30:44,451 --> 00:30:46,785
Looks like he forgives you.
800
00:30:48,755 --> 00:30:51,257
What the hell has he done?
801
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,273
I think this is premature.
Let us sit down with you.
802
00:30:59,274 --> 00:31:00,724
I'm-I'm with the president now.
803
00:31:00,725 --> 00:31:03,426
We could be there in half an hour.
804
00:31:04,562 --> 00:31:06,897
I think you're making
a serious mistake.
805
00:31:06,898 --> 00:31:09,166
And I think you need to... (stammers)
806
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:10,668
(sighs)
807
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:12,837
Well, that didn't take long.
808
00:31:12,838 --> 00:31:14,939
Julius Burton is officially throwing
809
00:31:14,940 --> 00:31:17,475
all his financial support to Sam Evans.
810
00:31:17,476 --> 00:31:18,939
I'm tired of worrying about what men
811
00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:20,244
like Burton do with their money.
812
00:31:20,245 --> 00:31:21,312
I'm not going to renew
813
00:31:21,313 --> 00:31:23,347
the Defense Cooperation
Agreement with Bahrain.
814
00:31:23,348 --> 00:31:24,771
Instead, we're going to move toward
815
00:31:24,772 --> 00:31:26,217
building a new base in Tunisia.
816
00:31:26,218 --> 00:31:28,361
We're going to bring our
military and economic support
817
00:31:28,362 --> 00:31:29,820
to a country that has earned it.
818
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:31,222
What about the next administration?
819
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:32,323
What happens when all this
820
00:31:32,324 --> 00:31:35,259
executive action is
rolled back in January?
821
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,229
Already writing a
presidential obituary?
822
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:40,731
No, sir.
823
00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:42,899
You did that yourself.
824
00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:49,573
WOMAN: So it's official,
President Conrad Dalton
825
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:51,742
will be a one-term president.
826
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:54,078
Governor Sam Evans just won the primary
827
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:56,347
and will head to the general election.
828
00:31:56,348 --> 00:31:59,049
So, is this the first time
that an incumbent president
829
00:31:59,050 --> 00:32:01,118
has failed to get his
party's nomination?
830
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,822
MAN: Actually, no, in 1856,
Franklin Pierce failed to secure
831
00:32:04,823 --> 00:32:07,358
his party's support,
but it is only the second time,
832
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:09,894
which makes it pretty historic.
833
00:32:09,895 --> 00:32:12,463
WOMAN: We'll be right back
with more election coverage.
834
00:32:12,464 --> 00:32:14,698
Sorry, Mr. President.
835
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:18,469
Uh, there are some things
that we have to address.
836
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:22,139
You, uh, you need to
837
00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:24,708
concede the nomination to Evans
838
00:32:24,709 --> 00:32:27,678
and assure him that you'll
toe the party line,
839
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:30,748
endorse his candidacy, and help him out
840
00:32:30,749 --> 00:32:33,150
on the campaign trail
841
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:34,718
as much as you can, though...
842
00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:35,659
Though right now
843
00:32:35,660 --> 00:32:38,162
I'm such a liability that my services
844
00:32:38,163 --> 00:32:40,297
might not be very much in demand.
845
00:32:40,298 --> 00:32:42,933
You could look at that as an upside.
846
00:32:42,934 --> 00:32:44,969
Yes, I think I will.
847
00:32:44,970 --> 00:32:48,305
- Mr. President, I'm so sorry.
- No, Bess.
848
00:32:48,306 --> 00:32:50,741
We're not going to
assign any blame here.
849
00:32:50,742 --> 00:32:52,743
We all made our choices,
850
00:32:52,744 --> 00:32:55,112
we did our best.
851
00:32:55,113 --> 00:32:56,413
Although I do wish I'd been able
852
00:32:56,414 --> 00:32:58,649
to announce your candidacy
for vice president.
853
00:32:58,650 --> 00:33:00,651
I appreciate your faith in me.
854
00:33:00,652 --> 00:33:03,354
Sir, you still have
seven months in office
855
00:33:03,355 --> 00:33:05,222
and there's work to be done.
856
00:33:05,223 --> 00:33:07,992
I suggest we all just...
857
00:33:07,993 --> 00:33:09,593
focus on that.
858
00:33:09,594 --> 00:33:11,194
That's right.
859
00:33:12,062 --> 00:33:13,998
A great team.
860
00:33:13,999 --> 00:33:16,499
I've been privileged to have you.
861
00:33:29,547 --> 00:33:32,181
I'm sorry. It's just wrong.
862
00:33:34,885 --> 00:33:37,888
Well, the good news is...
863
00:33:37,889 --> 00:33:40,691
that you can go back to
your intelligence work.
864
00:33:40,692 --> 00:33:44,562
Maybe I'll go visit Stevie
in Oxford this summer.
865
00:33:44,563 --> 00:33:46,497
Go back to teaching.
866
00:33:46,498 --> 00:33:48,831
We don't have to figure
this all out tonight.
867
00:33:50,768 --> 00:33:54,471
I really wanted a shot at that
vice presidency, I'll admit it.
868
00:33:54,472 --> 00:33:57,174
But mainly I just wanted Conrad
869
00:33:57,175 --> 00:33:59,710
to have another term. He deserved it.
870
00:33:59,711 --> 00:34:01,577
You both did.
871
00:34:10,621 --> 00:34:12,690
- (indistinct conversations)
- Excuse me.
872
00:34:12,691 --> 00:34:14,991
You guys want a cup of water?
873
00:34:16,694 --> 00:34:18,162
Madam Secretary.
874
00:34:18,163 --> 00:34:20,431
Chief Justice, hi.
875
00:34:20,432 --> 00:34:21,932
Tough loss.
876
00:34:21,933 --> 00:34:23,334
I'm sorry.
877
00:34:23,335 --> 00:34:24,501
Thank you.
878
00:34:24,502 --> 00:34:26,170
And you would have made a great
879
00:34:26,171 --> 00:34:27,905
vice president, too.
880
00:34:27,906 --> 00:34:29,640
I would have voted for that ticket.
881
00:34:29,641 --> 00:34:30,908
And it's not even my party.
882
00:34:30,909 --> 00:34:32,910
Thank you, sir.
883
00:34:32,911 --> 00:34:35,278
(whispers): Don... Don't tell anyone.
884
00:34:41,255 --> 00:34:43,354
According to the new
Defense Cooperation Agreement,
885
00:34:43,355 --> 00:34:45,055
the construction on the naval base
886
00:34:45,056 --> 00:34:47,391
will employ Tunisian
contractors and workers,
887
00:34:47,392 --> 00:34:51,195
which will bring a
boost to your economy.
888
00:34:51,196 --> 00:34:52,563
We look forward
889
00:34:52,564 --> 00:34:55,366
to establishing a strong
partnership with your country.
890
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:56,967
MOSSADEK: As do we, I assure you.
891
00:34:56,968 --> 00:35:00,304
And I do appreciate,
Mr. President, Madam Secretary,
892
00:35:00,305 --> 00:35:02,473
the sacrifices you made on our behalf.
893
00:35:02,474 --> 00:35:05,242
It may be a dark moment
now, but you have
894
00:35:05,243 --> 00:35:07,344
moved your country toward greatness.
895
00:35:07,345 --> 00:35:08,312
People don't always
896
00:35:08,313 --> 00:35:10,080
thank you for that, but your legacy
897
00:35:10,081 --> 00:35:12,515
will reflect it.
898
00:35:14,785 --> 00:35:16,420
Thank you, Foreign Minister.
899
00:35:16,421 --> 00:35:18,355
I'm proud that we could
accomplish this together.
900
00:35:18,356 --> 00:35:20,891
Believe me, I know only too well
901
00:35:20,892 --> 00:35:24,694
the perils of leading a
country into a new direction.
902
00:35:26,730 --> 00:35:29,665
Have a good trip back.
903
00:35:35,072 --> 00:35:37,775
Well, that's ironic.
904
00:35:37,776 --> 00:35:40,244
Being given advice on the
pitfalls of democracy
905
00:35:40,245 --> 00:35:42,579
by one of the most
nascent in the world.
906
00:35:42,580 --> 00:35:45,649
Russell and I'll be
working on strategies
907
00:35:45,650 --> 00:35:47,985
to ensure against the
next administration
908
00:35:47,986 --> 00:35:50,721
being able to undo this negotiation.
909
00:35:50,722 --> 00:35:54,058
Yes. Fred Reynold's
plan is to slash defense
910
00:35:54,059 --> 00:35:56,393
back to bows and arrows.
911
00:35:56,394 --> 00:35:57,962
Either way...
912
00:35:57,963 --> 00:35:59,563
this agreement is at risk.
913
00:35:59,564 --> 00:36:03,133
Sam Evans is on his way over
to talk about my endorsement.
914
00:36:03,134 --> 00:36:06,437
Turns out that while I'm
kryptonite to much of the base,
915
00:36:06,438 --> 00:36:08,539
among moderates and
independent swing voters,
916
00:36:08,540 --> 00:36:10,607
and, his words...
917
00:36:10,608 --> 00:36:12,643
"other coveted demographics"...
918
00:36:12,644 --> 00:36:14,712
- I'm still popular.
- Well, I guess that's
919
00:36:14,713 --> 00:36:16,547
the domestic politics version
920
00:36:16,548 --> 00:36:19,717
of "you're big in Japan."
921
00:36:19,718 --> 00:36:21,552
(short chuckle)
Better to be a lame duck
922
00:36:21,553 --> 00:36:23,787
than a dead duck, I suppose.
923
00:36:23,788 --> 00:36:25,588
Thanks, Bess.
924
00:36:34,131 --> 00:36:36,432
(indistinct conversation)
925
00:36:39,336 --> 00:36:41,305
Madam Secretary, good to see you.
926
00:36:41,306 --> 00:36:43,040
- Governor Evans.
- I just ran into
927
00:36:43,041 --> 00:36:44,742
Foreign Minister
Mossadek on the way out.
928
00:36:44,743 --> 00:36:46,844
I guess he was here
to discuss a naval base
929
00:36:46,845 --> 00:36:48,345
- you promised him over...
- We've already secured the agreement.
930
00:36:48,346 --> 00:36:50,947
Which I will do everything
in my power to undo.
931
00:36:52,149 --> 00:36:54,318
I'll let you go.
The president's waiting.
932
00:36:54,319 --> 00:36:56,020
Elizabeth.
933
00:36:56,021 --> 00:36:57,388
We're under a lot of pressure
934
00:36:57,389 --> 00:36:59,165
from a number of
different organizations
935
00:36:59,166 --> 00:37:00,933
and constituencies,
and though I'm proud
936
00:37:00,934 --> 00:37:02,917
of achieving the nomination,
I'm sure you're aware
937
00:37:02,918 --> 00:37:05,971
that some damage has been
done to party unity.
938
00:37:05,972 --> 00:37:08,240
Conrad's endorsement will
go a long way to fix that,
939
00:37:08,241 --> 00:37:11,343
but administrative continuity
from one term to the next
940
00:37:11,344 --> 00:37:12,878
will help even more.
941
00:37:12,879 --> 00:37:15,815
So I hope that you will consider
942
00:37:15,816 --> 00:37:18,117
maintaining your role
as secretary of state
943
00:37:18,118 --> 00:37:20,519
in my cabinet.
944
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,489
I'm asking Russell
Jackson to stay, too.
945
00:37:23,490 --> 00:37:25,958
I know you can't answer now.
946
00:37:25,959 --> 00:37:29,962
But think about it and call me
back when you come round, okay?
947
00:37:29,963 --> 00:37:33,165
I-I just realized that I...
948
00:37:33,166 --> 00:37:34,400
(stammers)
949
00:37:34,401 --> 00:37:35,801
I left my pen, and I'm...
950
00:37:35,802 --> 00:37:37,937
It's a sentimental thing,
my husband gave it to me.
951
00:37:37,938 --> 00:37:40,239
I'm just gonna run back
and get it. You don't mind,
952
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,507
do you?
953
00:37:43,876 --> 00:37:45,344
Bess?
954
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:47,446
Don't endorse Evans.
955
00:37:47,447 --> 00:37:48,781
Run as an independent.
956
00:37:48,782 --> 00:37:51,317
- What?
- You just said
957
00:37:51,318 --> 00:37:53,552
that you are an asset
in the general election
958
00:37:53,553 --> 00:37:54,787
with broad popular support.
959
00:37:54,788 --> 00:37:56,755
And it must be even
broader than we think,
960
00:37:56,756 --> 00:37:58,390
or Evans wouldn't be
hitting it so hard.
961
00:37:58,391 --> 00:38:00,626
What if you have a shot, even without
962
00:38:00,627 --> 00:38:02,628
your party's support?
963
00:38:02,629 --> 00:38:06,165
The move would be
historically unprecedented,
964
00:38:06,166 --> 00:38:08,434
but given the coup that
they just pulled on you,
965
00:38:08,435 --> 00:38:11,470
one unprecedented event
deserves another.
966
00:38:11,471 --> 00:38:13,973
Well, it's either that
or leave the country
967
00:38:13,974 --> 00:38:16,842
in the hands of Evans,
a spineless puppet
968
00:38:16,843 --> 00:38:19,411
for special interests,
or to Fred Reynolds
969
00:38:19,412 --> 00:38:22,781
in the other party...
a clueless isolationist.
970
00:38:22,782 --> 00:38:25,117
I realize this is a reckless play,
971
00:38:25,118 --> 00:38:27,620
given that no independent
has ever won the presidency,
972
00:38:27,621 --> 00:38:29,889
although Teddy Roosevelt came close,
973
00:38:29,890 --> 00:38:31,423
but that was...
974
00:38:31,424 --> 00:38:33,259
With the right support
975
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:35,828
and an aggressive enough ground game,
976
00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:37,897
we have a fighting chance,
977
00:38:37,898 --> 00:38:39,532
and wouldn't you rather
978
00:38:39,533 --> 00:38:41,567
go out fighting?
979
00:38:41,568 --> 00:38:44,336
If we're gonna make history,
980
00:38:44,337 --> 00:38:47,305
let's make the good kind.
981
00:38:52,806 --> 00:38:55,074
(doorbell rings)
982
00:38:56,810 --> 00:39:00,214
JACKSON: You're killing me.
You know that, right?
983
00:39:00,754 --> 00:39:01,899
Can I get you a drink?
984
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:04,901
No, thanks. I pre-drank.
985
00:39:06,904 --> 00:39:09,941
So, I-I take it you've
986
00:39:09,942 --> 00:39:12,176
spoken with Conrad.
987
00:39:12,177 --> 00:39:14,444
Oh, what the hell? I'm not driving.
988
00:39:18,115 --> 00:39:21,552
Conrad running as an independent
989
00:39:21,553 --> 00:39:24,322
is an insane idea.
990
00:39:24,323 --> 00:39:26,489
Primarily 'cause he can't win.
991
00:39:27,992 --> 00:39:31,395
Also...
992
00:39:31,396 --> 00:39:34,764
because it puts me in
an impossible position.
993
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:39,570
Choosing between this president
994
00:39:39,571 --> 00:39:43,306
and the party I have supported
since middle school.
995
00:39:45,476 --> 00:39:47,445
I would counter it's not the same party
996
00:39:47,446 --> 00:39:49,404
you've supported since middle school.
997
00:39:49,405 --> 00:39:51,839
Its nominee represents nothing
998
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,541
of what you stand for,
999
00:39:53,542 --> 00:39:55,109
and Conrad's chances of winning
1000
00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:56,711
are... narrow
1001
00:39:56,712 --> 00:39:58,975
- but not impossible.
- What do you think I've been doing
1002
00:39:58,976 --> 00:40:01,716
all night? I've run the
numbers, Elizabeth.
1003
00:40:01,717 --> 00:40:04,919
He loses handily in nine
out of ten scenarios.
1004
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,487
So what's the tenth?
1005
00:40:06,488 --> 00:40:08,255
Let's concentrate on that.
1006
00:40:09,457 --> 00:40:13,060
The winning scenario...
1007
00:40:13,061 --> 00:40:17,297
depends on one big concession.
1008
00:40:20,401 --> 00:40:22,670
That's why I'm here.
1009
00:40:22,671 --> 00:40:24,539
With your popularity
1010
00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:27,308
among independents and moderates,
1011
00:40:27,309 --> 00:40:29,043
you're likely to carry swing states
1012
00:40:29,044 --> 00:40:31,512
like Florida, Ohio, Virginia.
1013
00:40:31,513 --> 00:40:33,247
The bad news is...
1014
00:40:33,248 --> 00:40:35,082
that's not enough to win the election.
1015
00:40:35,083 --> 00:40:37,752
But you don't need to win.
1016
00:40:37,753 --> 00:40:39,587
You just need not to lose.
1017
00:40:39,588 --> 00:40:41,989
The goal is to keep any candidate
1018
00:40:41,990 --> 00:40:44,892
from getting to the requisite
270 electoral votes.
1019
00:40:44,893 --> 00:40:46,961
If that were to happen,
1020
00:40:46,962 --> 00:40:49,530
the election gets thrown to
the House of Representatives.
1021
00:40:49,531 --> 00:40:51,699
And there, you would have
1022
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:53,201
a very good chance of winning.
1023
00:40:53,202 --> 00:40:56,838
The biggest barrier to stopping
Evans from getting to 270
1024
00:40:56,839 --> 00:40:58,906
is his home state of Pennsylvania
1025
00:40:58,907 --> 00:41:00,708
and its 20 electoral votes.
1026
00:41:00,709 --> 00:41:02,810
And how do we pull that off?
1027
00:41:02,811 --> 00:41:04,078
Well, sir,
1028
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,214
there's really only one way.
1029
00:41:06,215 --> 00:41:08,316
You need a popular
Pennsylvanian on the ticket.
1030
00:41:08,317 --> 00:41:11,085
Senator Teresa Hurst pulls
1031
00:41:11,086 --> 00:41:13,721
big numbers there.
She's fiercely independent,
1032
00:41:13,722 --> 00:41:17,558
she's a shameless supporter of yours.
1033
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:18,993
You need to choose her
1034
00:41:18,994 --> 00:41:20,577
to be your vice presidential candidate.
1035
00:41:20,578 --> 00:41:21,562
No.
1036
00:41:21,563 --> 00:41:22,897
I chose you
1037
00:41:22,898 --> 00:41:24,899
as a trusted confidant
1038
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,335
and the exact right person for the job.
1039
00:41:27,336 --> 00:41:29,103
Not another ticket-balancing
politician.
1040
00:41:29,104 --> 00:41:31,072
Teresa Hurst is a rising star.
1041
00:41:31,073 --> 00:41:33,374
She's on the practical
side of all the issues...
1042
00:41:33,375 --> 00:41:34,638
And don't forget you're running
1043
00:41:34,639 --> 00:41:37,411
on the "dismantling the world
as we know it" platform.
1044
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:39,447
I'm sorry... change foreign policy,
1045
00:41:39,448 --> 00:41:41,649
- change the world.
- And if we're gonna go with that,
1046
00:41:41,650 --> 00:41:44,118
you're gonna need me
1047
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:45,620
as your secretary of state, sir.
1048
00:41:45,621 --> 00:41:47,655
Not your vice president.
1049
00:41:47,656 --> 00:41:50,490
Right now, you need to
do what you can to win.
1050
00:41:51,259 --> 00:41:52,792
Now she gets it.
1051
00:41:55,563 --> 00:41:57,999
HENRY: Remind me what was so bad
1052
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,667
about the campaign circuit?
1053
00:41:59,668 --> 00:42:01,535
Besides everything?
1054
00:42:01,536 --> 00:42:03,771
I am so far behind
on these term papers.
1055
00:42:03,772 --> 00:42:06,073
I'm gonna be up all night.
Maybe I should go downstairs.
1056
00:42:06,074 --> 00:42:07,875
Why? I'm gonna be up all night
1057
00:42:07,876 --> 00:42:10,344
with restructuring
American foreign policy.
1058
00:42:10,345 --> 00:42:12,513
It'll be fun, be like college.
1059
00:42:12,514 --> 00:42:15,516
We can order out some bad food.
1060
00:42:15,517 --> 00:42:19,453
Cheeseburger pizza is on the way.
1061
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:22,123
You are so handsome.
1062
00:42:22,124 --> 00:42:25,125
I'm gonna make sure we have Tums. Tums!
1063
00:42:26,494 --> 00:42:28,695
What's that?
1064
00:42:35,169 --> 00:42:37,305
Henry...
1065
00:42:37,306 --> 00:42:38,839
where'd these come from?
1066
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,141
