Mom?

Mom?

Mom! Mom!

Are you okay?

What happened?

I don't know. I...

Oh, I-I must have fallen.

Oh. I didn't know you were coming.

Are you hungry?

Shall I make you a sandwich?

No, I, um...

I'm gonna turn the shower on, and I can...

I can make us both something.

Thank you, honey.

I guess soup is about all I can handle

at the moment with this tooth.

I called the dentist and made you an appointment.

How are you?

Are you happy in your new apartment?

Mom, how... how did this happen?

I...

I suppose I...

I forgot to turn the bedroom lights on

and must have tripped on something.

You don't remember?

Mmm.

I did go to a little party next door.

The, uh, Firestones are lovely.

They are from the tire company family.

They served this...

planter's punch.

It was very sweet.

When's Dad coming back?

I don't know.

Maybe today.

I forget.

Mm-hmm.

- Good night, sir. - Jimmy.

Susan.

What are you doing here?

Dad, Mom's not doing well.

Yeah, you said she had a little fall.

No. We need to talk.

It was not just a little fall. She was drunk.

She went to a party next door, she came home,

and she fell flat on her face.

Well, she's small.

Alcohol sometimes catches up with her.

No, that's not it.

She's drinking all the time.

She has a makeup case full of pills.

Susan, none of this would be happening

if she didn't have that shoulder injury.

Dad, that's not the issue.

Oh, honey. Yes, it is.

This land is your land

This land is my land

From California

To the New York island

From the redwood forest

To the Gulf Stream waters

I tell you

This land

Was made for you and me

Yeah

One bright sunny morning

In the shadow of a steeple

Down by the welfare office

I saw my people

I was wondering

If this land

Was made for you and me

Anna. What's happened?

The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor.

Oh, good God. How bad?

Very bad.

You are free to move. Godspeed.

Thank God. Eleanor.

Gentlemen, if I could have the room for a moment, please?

Thank you.

Churchill is waiting for your call.

Of course, I'll call him shortly.

Also, I want hourly reports

updating me on the status of the casualties.

When you make the address,

you'll want to say something

that shows strength and reassurance.

Remind the people that you're here for them, Franklin.

I was thinking it might be better

if you made the first address.

But Franklin, you're their president.

And you are the heart of my administration.

- But, Franklin... - Eleanor,

the American people believe that they know you personally

because of your daily broadcasts, your columns.

That's a column, Franklin.

What could be more reassuring than that?

Eleanor, I need your help. Please.

We're on the air in three, two, one.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

"I am speaking to you tonight"

at a very serious moment in our history.

There are so many questions and so much uncertainty.

Let me offer the things that I know are true.

The cabinet is convening

and the leaders in Congress are meeting with the president.

The State Department and Army and Navy officials

have been with the president all afternoon.

By tomorrow morning, the members of Congress

will have a full report and be ready for action.

In the meantime,

we, the people,

are already prepared for action.

For months now,

the knowledge that something of this kind might happen

has been hanging over our heads.

That is all over now

and there is no more uncertainty.

We know what we have to face,

and we know that we are ready to face it.

I should like to say

just a word to the women in the country tonight.

I have a boy at sea on a destroyer.

For all I know, he may be on his way to the Pacific.

Two of my children are in coast cities on the Pacific.

Many of you all over the country have boys in the services

who will now be called upon to go into action.

You cannot escape anxiety.

You cannot escape a clutch of fear at your heart.

And yet, I hope that the certainty

of what we have to meet

will make you rise above these fears.

We must go about our daily business

more determined than ever

to do the ordinary things as well as we can.

And whatever is asked of us,

I'm sure we can accomplish it.

We are the free and unconquerable people

"of the United States of America."

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

There'll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow

Just you wait and see

There'll be Love and laughter

And peace ever after

Tomorrow

When the world is free

Shall we reconvene at 0700?

- Agreed. - - Well, well.

If it isn't England's favorite First Lady.

Well, I did my level best.

And I am ever grateful for it.

Your level best is rather peerless.

Show me, please?

Of course.

James and his Second Raiders are here.

Safe. Still on Makin lsland.

And way over here in Algeria is Elliot,

leading the Third Recon group.

As of two hours ago, he was safe.

Franklin Jr.'s destroyer

managed to navigate around a torpedo at 1800 hours

all the way up here, just off the coast of Iceland.

But he too is safe.

And then John is here.

Now a lieutenant commander in the navy.

- He is safe. - They are all safe, Eleanor.

Thank God. Thank God. Thank God.

It's so hard to be away from this map, Franklin.

I can only imagine.

Come join me on the couch.

Thank you.

- Damn! - -

- I am so sorry. - Please, let me help you up.

I'm sorry. I... Oh. I'm more tired than I thought.

When this thing is over, whenever that may be,

God willing sooner than later,

we need to go back to Campobello.

Just the family.

All of us together.

Sort of like a vacation of sorts.

- Oh. - Even if only for a few days.

A vacation, I... can't even imagine.

Here we are, you know,

after all these years.

Yes.

You know, earlier today, I was thinking about

what a difficult time Mother had given you.

- No, she did? - -

I wish she could see you now.

Single-handedly representing our nation across the globe.

"Oh, she'd just say," Step back

- "and let your husband shine." -

"Stop drawing all the attention, Eleanor.

Be a proper wife."

"Proper."

Proper is not a word I would use to describe you.

Singular, maybe.

Formidable. Relentless.

Irreplaceable.

Mmm.

Your mother did do one thing for me which...

I will always be grateful.

What?

She insisted we stay together.

Hmm.

A team to the end.

Yes.

I missed you.

Come in.

Mr. President. Madam First Lady.

- Sir, they're waiting for you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

CNN said that Hillary has an 11-point lead.

Well, you can't trust polls, honey.

Hey, I can see that phone, put it away.

- Yeah. It's all right. - Mom?

Oh. I'm gonna miss these views.

Mm-hmm. The hour cometh.

- Yes. - Thought you'd be happy?

I am.

I just want this election to be over.

Mom, why are you stressing?

We're about to have our first woman president.

- Mmm. - That could've been you.

- No, no, no, no, no, no. - - It could have.

No. I'm still worried if Hillary will get the votes.

- She's ahead. - -

- Yeah. - - Mmm. I don't know.

Hey. Phone.

Yeah, but Trump can't win. That would be crazy.

No, we passed crazy when he got the GOP nomination.

Yeah. Well, you know, uh, Hillary wants Mom to speak,

but Valerie's saying that they're having some difficulty

getting through to the East Wing.

Hillary doesn't need my help.

She could be the secret weapon, right?

- Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama. -

I can see that phone. Put it away.

You just said you were worried she wouldn't get elected.

- Yeah. - Okay.

- - Hey, Malia, phone.

Seriously, put it away.

I gotta use some Tic Tacs just in case

- I start kissing her. - What?

- Mom. - -I'm automatically attracted

to beautiful... I just start kissing them.

It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.

And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

- Whatever you want. - Grab 'em by the pussy.

This is everywhere. No one's gonna vote for him now.

Hello, how are you?

"It's just locker room banter. Boy talk."

Ugh, he made it all about Bill and his sordid past.

Okay. Well. Bottom line, he's still in the race,

and not to mention her baggage.

I mean, they just... People don't like her. They don't trust her.

Yeah. Well, our news and airwaves

had the word "pussy" on repeat.

We need to take him the fuck down.

- Yes. - But Hillary can't do it.

If she goes after him too hard, she's shrill.

She's a bitch. She's unfeminine. She's unbecoming.

I know. And that is why...

And I know you have your issues with Hillary...

But that is why they keep asking for you

to go on the campaign trail and support her.

And make a speech.

You all right?

They want me to show up for Hillary.

- Mm-hmm. - We're not invited to the table

until there's a crisis with white women.

And then we're in it together.

But when we ask their support in anything we need,

we get, "It's a Black issue."

I'm not wrong.

If he wins...

it seems to me it's gonna be a problem

for more than just white women.

Come in.

Uh-huh. Mrs. Ford.

Dr. Cruse. Oh.

- How are you? - What a nice surprise.

Is this your wife?

- No. - Oh. No.

No. My name is Jenny.

It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Ford.

Nice to meet you, Jenny. Please, sit.

Thank you.

May I get you something? Some coffee?

- Oh. No. No. - No. I'm good.

Are you doing house calls now?

- - No, Mom,

I-I actually called him.

Because besides his primary practice,

uh, he also knows a lot about

um, something that I...

That I-I wanted his help to talk to you about.

Okay.

Um, your daughter is concerned

about the amount of alcohol

and pain medication you're taking, Mrs. Ford.

I've just been worried about you for so long.

And you drag my gynecologist here

to talk to me about...

some harebrained theory you have.

It's not a harebrained theory. I didn't know what else to do.

I was more than happy to come, Mrs. Ford.

And Jenny here has experience with meetings like this.

She can answer any question that you have.

Who do you think you are, young lady?

We understand this is very difficult for everyone.

Susan, maybe you can start

by telling your mother how you've been feeling.

Uh... Well, I-I'm... I'm afraid that you're going to die.

That's how I feel.

We're all going to die, Susan.

We're all going to die.

I think you both should leave now.

- Bruce? - Mrs. Ford...

- Mom, please. - Bruce?

Mrs. Ford.

- Ma'am? - Could you please escort

- Dr. Cruse and his helper... - No, that's okay.

- That's okay. We'll... We'll go. - Mom.

Susan, I want you out too. Get out!

- Mom. - Get out!

- -

Betty? Betty?

You... You could've...

You could've warned me that my only daughter

was trying to put me away.

But no, you took off to the golf course

like you always do.

I'm going to New York.

I am tired of people plotting against me.

I want a divorce. I'm done.

I... I have stuck by you.

I have done everything I was supposed to do!

- Betty. - What do I have to show for it?

An ungrateful daughter and a husband who won't protect me!

Betty.

Get away from me. Get away.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me!

Shh.

Hey.

Hey.

She's sleeping.

You were right. It was a terrible idea.

No, it wasn't.

She's very sick.

I just couldn't see it.

You've been telling me this whole time, and I just...

I don't wanna lose her.

I just don't know what to do.

- Esther? - Yes.

Remember how Admiral Halsey

was dead set against Mrs. R's visit?

"Can't waste resources on welcoming some do-gooder."

Listen to this quote he gave yesterday.

"Here is what Eleanor Roosevelt did in 12 hours."

She inspected two navy hospitals,

took a boat to an officer's rest home

and had lunch there.

She returned and inspected an army hospital.

"She reviewed the Second Marine Raider Battalion"...

What is that? Wait, I'm sorry. Doesn't matter.

"Um..." She made a speech at a service club,

attended a reception and was guest of honor

"at a dinner party given by General Harmon."

I am exhausted just reading this.

Oh, my favorite part.

"Um," I marveled at her hardihood,

both physical and mental.

But I marveled most at their expressions

as she leaned over them.

"It is a sight I will never forget."

- - Oh!

Ah! A powerful man admitting he was wrong?

- - Another first.

For someone with such a reputation for aggression,

I have to say I found him to be quite the gentleman.

And more importantly,

how he cares for those men in his charge

is really quite something.

Now, Tommy, could you do me a favor...

and find the address for this soldier's parents?

I think I've missed a letter or a number out.

- Of course. - Thank you.

With all the traveling you're doing these days

we ought to rent out your room.

And give the proceeds to the Red Cross.

I'm sure Steve Early would love that.

Hick.

When did you get in?

Oh, um...

I got in late last night. I-I didn't want to wake you up.

You'd already gone to sleep.

- Good. - Come join me for breakfast.

No, I have to go.

Wh... Go? You only just got here.

Go where?

Oh, I've got a-a room at the Mayflower, and I...

I have so much work to do and you don't need any distractions.

Don't be silly, you're no distraction.

Come. Come sit with me.

I have to go.

I have to go.

What is it?

I didn't get in late last night. I got in at...

I got in at noon yesterday

and I came to find you, and...

and I did... find you.

And then I just... I watched you. I watched you.

I watched you working.

Working away with... With everyone,

with Tommy and with Esther and with everyone.

Taking in the next great triumph,

and then on to the next, and on to the next,

and on to the next. And you looked...

You looked so...

So alive and so beautiful,

and determined, and just...

so much happier than I've seen you

for such a long time with me.

Oh. And you belong right there,

right in the middle of all of us.

I don't want it to be all of us.

I always just want... I just wanted to be the two of us.

And you know that. You know that.

Please, Hick, don't be petty.

It's not the time to be petty. It's a serious time.

Yes, it's not the time for... For those dreams...

that we had for our life together.

They were just...

They were just that, in the end, weren't they?

They were just dreams. They were childish... dreams.

Yes.

- Ugh. - It would be so much better

if I didn't love you quite so much.

You... you belong to the country.

You always did.

Hillary Clinton is a New World Order criminal.

Hillary Clinton is going to sell our fucking country

to the Saudi Arabians, you fricking idiots!

Pussy came to shut it down!

If Trump thinks he runs this town,

pussy came to shut it down!

Hillary Clinton supports rape!

This pussy votes!

Hillary Clinton's husband will grope you in the White House.

After your speech, we fly straight out.

Now, if you want,

I can speak with Secretary Clinton's people,

see if I can get you a few minutes to...

No. We didn't fly here for small talk.

Got it.

- Madam First Lady. - Secretary Clinton.

Thank you so much for being here.

- Thank you. - I'm sorry we're running late.

I hope I have the chance to see you later.

Please welcome Secretary Clinton

to the great state of New Hampshire.

All of us are honored to welcome you.

Ladies and gentleman,

the next Madam President of the United States of America.

Stay behind the podium.

Do we have an ETA... Oh.

- Madam First Lady. - Secretary Clinton.

Thank you so much for coming.

- Of course. - Yes.

Secretary Clinton, sorry, but the press is waiting.

Could we have a moment alone, please?

- Sure. - Just a moment.

I will have your candidate back in no time.

- Sure. - Please, just a moment.

Of course.

Thank you.

- - So...

- That tape. - That fucking tape.

I can't even... You'd think his own words

would be enough to damn him.

Help me.

Please.

I know we both love this country,

and we'll do anything to stop that man

from trashing your husband's legacy.

You were happy to trash Barack in 2008.

That was a campaign.

"He's not a Muslim as far as I know," end quote.

I regret a lot of the things I said.

And now you need my help.

The country, our country, needs your help.

Michelle, we're all on the same side.

We're all on the same side,

but we're not always equal, are we?

We have a long way to go. I don't deny that.

No. We have a common enemy.

If I go at him, call him out

for the dishonest predator that he is, I lose votes.

I lose women.

I know that privileged white women

have dominated the discourse.

I hear where you're coming from.

And when I am president, I will not forget this exchange.

I will be a president for all Americans, for all women.

But first, we have to take him down.

I have wanted this all of my adult life.

No one is better prepared than me.

I can do this.

And I know for damn sure I will do a better job than him.

Let's go take him down.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Yeah. - Okay.

My goodness.

My goodness, you guys are fired up!

I am so thrilled to be here

with you all today in New Hampshire.

Yes.

I'm gonna get a little serious,

because I think we can all agree

that this has been a rough week

in an already rough election.

Here I am out on the campaign trail

in an election where we had consistently been hearing

hurtful, hateful language about women.

Language that has been painful for so many of us.

The fact is that in this election,

we have a candidate for president of the United States

who, over the course of his lifetime

and the course of this campaign,

has said things about women that are so shocking,

so demeaning that I simply will not repeat anything here today.

And last week, we saw this candidate

actually bragging about sexually assaulting women.

This wasn't just locker-room banter.

- Excellent. Great. - Okay.

This was a powerful individual

speaking freely and openly

about sexually predatory behavior.

No woman deserves to be treated this way.

We need to get to work.

Because remember this, when they go low we go...

- High! - Yes, we do! Yes!

- - Clara!

Mrs. Ford.

Mrs. Ford.

What's all this? Is this an April Fools' joke?

Did you know about this?

I didn't expect to see you, and to...

- Betty, sit down. - I'm early.

Sit down, boys.

Susan.

Mother, everyone flew in, uh,

because we felt it was time we all talk, as a family.

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Joe Pursch.

Doctor? What kind of doctor?

I am a psychiatrist.

Oh. Great.

Your family has some things they would like to share with you,

and some of these things will be very difficult for you to hear,

but this is all because they care about you very deeply.

Who would like to go first?

Mrs. Ford, I love you. And Susan loves you too.

And you deserve the very best out of this life.

The children are scared,

but they got some things they need to share with you.

It's gonna be hard, but you need to listen.

Come on now, Michael. Say what's on your mind.

Lord knows you can do that just fine.

Um...

Gayle and I are thinking about starting a family.

But...

given how much you drink,

and the pills that you take...

we don't even know if we would feel comfortable

bringing those children here.

Well, that's quite a statement.

I've been scared of you since I was a kid.

I never knew what mood you would be in.

The pills were one thing, they made you kind of sleepy.

But then you'd have a drink,

and it was like this poison came out of you.

You were always so mad at me.

What in the hell are you boys talking about?

Those pills were prescribed to me by doctors.

In high school, I was cooking a lot of our meals

because you'd tell Clara you would do it,

but you were always so out of it, Mom.

And you never ate, so why should we?

You'd just zone out to the TV like a zombie.

Uh, Mr. President...

do you have something you would like to say to your wife?

I just... I can't stop...

thinking about how many drinks I made for you

over the years, Betty.

About the time I told the White House physician

to prescribe you...

whatever you needed, no questions asked.

About how I haven't been here for you

during the biggest transition of our lives.

I just couldn't...

bear to watch you destroy yourself like this.

I can't help feel that it's my fault.

Well...

You've all made very...

strong...

statements.

You've given me a lot to think about.

I've always admired you so much...

You don't have to say anything, Susan.

I think you said enough the first time you tried this.

I always thought I was one of the lucky ones.

I got to have a cool mom who could be my friend.

I love you more than anything in the world, Mom.

I wanted to be a dancer, so I could be just like you.

- - That day you said

that the two of us were going away,

just the two of us.

I wanted so badly for that to be true.

But the truth is that you were drunk.

The truth is that you didn't know what you were saying.

And ever since that day...

a part of me has been scared for you.

We all have.

Well...

I assume you didn't all just...

come here to humiliate me?

What is it you'd like me to do?

Your family wants you to go to a rehabilitation center

for drug and alcohol addiction.

I am not...

I am the First Lady. I am not a drug addict,

and I am certainly not an alcoholic.

Yes, I take pills, but as I've said a million times,

a doctor prescribed them to me.

Do you think a doctor is going to help me get off of them?

What would I have to do?

Mrs. Ford?

Can you tell us why you're here?

- How are you feeling? - How long will you stay?

How are you feeling, Betty?

Mrs. Ford. So glad you're here.

Betty, here's some soaps and creams from the White House

you love so much.

I'll be fine.

And here we are.

Um, is there a private room, perhaps?

Uh, we've found that the patients do better

in a shared room experience.

I would very much prefer to be on my own.

I'm sure you can understand someone in my position is...

used to a certain level of privacy.

Yes, as you wish.

I'll get the ladies to pack their belongings

and find them other accommodations.

I'll get them reassigned as soon as I can.

No, don't do anything. It's fine.

Very well.

They don't tell you rehab's gonna be

you and a bunch of dicks.

- You must be Betty? - Mm-hmm.

Meri Bell. Dr. Pursch thought

I might be a good sponsor for you.

Sponsor?

Someone who's been through it.

Uh, I'm moving into your room too.

I already have two roommates.

Now you'll have three.

Well, come on in. It's not as scary as it looks.

I'll sit with you.

- Hey, y'all. - Hello.

We got a newcomer joining us.

Go ahead and introduce yourself.

I'm pretty sure they already know who I am.

Say "hello," and your first name.

I'm Betty. Hello.

Hi, Betty.

We are back on this decision night in America.

It is eight o'clock in the East. One of the biggest moments...

She's got Delaware, DC, New Jersey, Rhode Island,

Illinois, Connecticut.

She's about to make history

and her book's called Living History. That's cool.

Dad, what time do you think we'll know?

It's still early, honey.

Donald Trump is the apparent winner in Florida.

Donald Trump the apparent winner in Florida.

It's a state that he called a must win,

and he appears to be winning at 29 electoral votes.

We're gonna peek in right now at the celebration

that is growing at the Trump headquarters

as supporters there sense this may be their night,

uh, in the race to 270.

All these people voted for him. What does this mean?

Miss the gender element here.

It's the first female presidential candidate on...

They're gonna repeal health care.

You have white males coming out in droves,

and that's... It seems, when this history book

is written on this, that that's gonna be a factor

that really, really matters.

And then you have also a lot of women

who didn't support her either.

I remember sitting down, um,

at The Today Show

early summer, late spring with Andrea Mitchell,

talking about how young women had

absolutely no attraction to her candidacy.

Felt absolutely no...

They were not compelled in any way, shape or form

to assist her in breaking this barrier.

What I don't get is why folks who got here after us

are getting seen before him.

It depends on your insurance.

It's all right, sweetie. I can wait.

Come sit next to your daddy.

You elect me along with the Republican House and Senate,

we will also immediately repeal and replace

the disaster known as Obamacare. It's abysmal.

Can't underestimate the importance of this fall.

This projection by the Associated Press here.

Calling Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

Twenty electoral votes

now moving into Donald Trump's column.

Steve Yaccino of Bloomberg Politics, give us the latest.

Megan said it,

there's just no path forward for Hillary Clinton.

That's 20 electoral votes from Pennsylvania.

It gets Trump to 264. He's six away from 270.

- That's all he would need. - And he's still got Arizona.

- They call it? - Yeah.

Strumming my pain With his fingers

Singing my life With his words

Killing me softly With his song

Killing me softly With his song

Telling my whole life With his words
