Original subtitles

- Jason Franklin was just here. - At your house?

I woke up and he was strangling me.

[Donald] Previously on The Oval .

Dad, you're not gonna send me to some mental institution.

It's a resort on a beach in Cuba.

I know I've been a monster, Lilly.

I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you

by giving you a divorce.

What I'm about to allege is even more damning

than President Nixon breaking into the Watergate building.

We need to definitely get it done.

By this time tomorrow, Vice President is dead.

How many were there?

Four approached us, but there were two or three?

At least.

Yeah, they were hanging back, watching.

They were A-S gang members.

- How do you know that? - I saw the tattoo.

- You know about gang tattoos? - Yes, I do.

What do you do for a living?

He's a Secret Service agent, like me.

You guys are in the Secret Service?

Yes. But trust us. These are Mexican cartel members.

- These guys are very dangerous. - Are you Secret Service, too?

No. No, I work in hospitality at the White House.

But I would trust the word of these two gentlemen.

Yes, Officer. You need to alert your captain.

Y'all got a serious problem that just showed up on this block.

What would the Mexican cartel want to do

with anyone on this block?

Is there a drug operation around here?

They came to this house. This is my house,

and I can assure you there's no drug operation here

or anywhere near here.

I'm not suggesting anything, sir.

I'm just trying to figure out why these guys are around here.

This is a relatively quiet neighborhood.

Well, it wasn't tonight.

And it won't be quiet as long as you have

A-S gang members terrorizing residents.

We haven't seen any gang activity in this area.

Well, you have some now.

- OK. I'll look into it. - You'll look into it?

Officer, you need to alert your captain

that there's an emergency.

I'm telling you, these guys are armed and dangerous.

They have a lot of guns.

And they don't seem to be shy about using them.

[insects chirping]

[door creaking]

What's so urgent, Agent Cross?

I thought Sutton was supervising tonight.

He was. I came myself. There's a lot of strange chatter

ever since you met with the senator.

Well, what kind of chatter?

There are credible threats against you and the Second Lady.

Are there? Well, I'm not surprised.

Yeah, it scared me, so I came myself.

Hm. You really do care about us, don't you?

I do. You believe in me, and that means the world to me.

Well, I see you got extra agents out there.

I do. And I wanted to ask if I could bring some inside.

Mm, Cross, you know how we feel about our privacy.

I understand. Just until we investigate these threats.

I can see that you're very concerned about this.

I am.

OK.

- Oh, and, uh, Cross? - Yes, sir?

I really do believe in you, and I trust you with my life.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you. Good night.

Good night.

[knock on door]

[door closes gently]

- [neck snaps] - [body tumbles]

[line trilling]

- [Hunter] Hello? - Dad?

- Yes, Jason. - [Jason] Dad?

Mom is sending so many people to try to kill me. It's crazy.

- What happened? - [Jason] I wasn't...

I wasn't doing anything, Dad. I was just...

I was just lying here, sleeping,

and one of Mom's killers came in to get me.

What did you do, Jason? Did you run?

[Jason] No, Dad.

What's our rule number one? You always taught me to fight.

- Did you fight, Jason? - Yeah, of course I did.

Where's the guy you were fighting?

- He's here. - Is he OK?

I don't know. He doesn't look OK.

Jason, what did you do?

I put him in a chokehold, Dad. I mean, he was...

- he was trying to kill me, OK? - Is he dead, Jason?

I snapped his neck, Dad. Look, he was trying to kill me.

Jason, where are you? I need to come pick you up.

This is the only way I can protect you.

Why do you want to pick me up?

So your goons can come and get me or something?

Jason. Jason, I cannot protect you here.

The police are looking for you. If they get you,

they are going to throw you in prison with a death sentence.

Prison? Dad. No, you know I can't go to prison, OK?

I'm way too pretty to go to jail.

Yes, Son, so I...

I need to send you away.

Dad, I don't want to hear this. What's the big idea?

I arranged for you to go to Cuba.

Cuba? Well, the women are beautiful there, right?

Yes, Jason, they are.

There's beautiful beaches and there's... there's great food.

[Jason] OK.

Yeah, Dad, I'm with it. Um, that sounds good. I just...

Can you please just promise me that you won't betray me again?

Jason, look.

I'm sorry about your childhood, and I want to make it up to you.

I need to come get you right now. Where are you?

Just have two enemies that I need to take care of,

and then I'll be good to go.

Enemies? Jason, leave them alone.

No, Dad. Allan and Priscilla were very disrespectful to me

and the family, and they called me a freak.

Jason. Jason, just let this go.

Promise me you won't do anything.

Jason, you either promise me,

or I am not going to arrange to get you out of this country.

I'm not going to send you to Cuba.

- OK, Dad. I promise. - OK, where are you?

I'll hit you back up when I'm ready to go. OK? Bye.

Jason, damn it.

[Man] Ladies and gentlemen, the President and First Lady.

[insects chirping]

- Good morning. - Good morning, Agent Cross.

I don't want to alarm you all,

but there are credible threats against all of you.

Well, you're not telling us anything we don't already know.

I understand. My job is to keep you safe and alive,

and I plan on doing my job.

Well, thank you, Agent Cross. Eli speaks highly of you.

He has a lot of confidence in you.

I do believe in him as a protector, yes.

Although I surmise he'd make a terrible hitman.

If you need me to be a hitman,

I will be sure to finish the job.

I don't believe you.

Hitman? Eli, stop with all these dark jokes.

It's too early in the morning for all of that.

- It's fine, ma'am. - [phone rings]

This might be him.

Senator Harding.

[Harding] The hard drive I had was blank.

Hold on, Senator. Can you say that again?

[on speaker] [Harding] The hard drive I had was blank.

We need to find that article Abrielle made.

There must be a copy of it somewhere.

[phone chimes]

Wait, I'm getting an email from someone that I don't know.

It says "urgent".

"Harriet.

"Consider this my insurance policy.

"If you're reading this, go home right away.

A.M."

We need to find my son today.

I call the agents about this every hour on the hour.

Well, what's taking so long?

Well, they told me that they've cast a wide net,

and hopefully he'll pop up in it.

No, I think they're taking the wrong approach.

We need to outsmart that boy.

We've got to get inside his head.

Donald, what are you suggesting?

Let's call Kyle. Kyle is good at finding people.

[line trilling]

[phone ringing]

[Kyle groans painfully]

Hey, my sexy, steamy, dreamy, milk chocolate lover.

Kyle, I have the First Lady and Dilva on speakerphone.

Oopsy. I'm sorry. What can I do for you?

We need help finding Jason.

[Kyle] Donald, that kid's insane.

You're going to have to get involved.

Sam will never find him.

Yeah, I know. I know, Kyle. That's why we're calling you.

He probably wants to finish off me, Allan, and Priscilla.

So he will definitely show up

at one or all of our places.

Would he be that stupid?

- He'll think he's smart. - OK, Kyle, so what do we need?

[Kyle] Think of him as a rat.

And all you need is peanut butter or cheese.

Peanut butter or cheese?

I'm telling you, lure him in with the enticement of revenge.

Like a rat to cheese.

- OK, and then? - And then, pop.

You trip the trap.

[blender whirring]

[blender stops]

- All right, let's do this. - Close the door.

- No don't close the door, Cross. - Why?

Everything needs to appear normal.

There's nothing weird about making a smoothie.

If we close the door, it'll be a red flag.

But won't they see us coming out of here?

No, I turned the cameras off.

The last person in here was Naomi.

OK, so you're pinning it on the chef?

- Exactly. - Smart.

[uses blender]

- You ready for the vial? - Yeah.

- [Isaac] Here. - I thought there were two?

Well, there are two, but we only need to use one.

Keep one for safety.

We don't need another for safety.

If we use two, he'll be twice as dead.

No, Cross, just one.

OK.

[blender whirs]

[Cross] I'm gonna put it in his glass.

- Damn it, Cross, be careful. - I got this, Isaac.

- OK, good luck. - All right, copy.

[Feldman] So, Mr. President, our preliminary report

is that this police department there is rife with corruption,

racism, and that this particular officer

has been a problem for some time.

So is this poor kid's death as bad as it looks?

It is, sir.

Now, we're not ready to go public with this,

but I wanted to let you know the direction this is heading.

How bad is it?

Well, here's what happened.

The kid, Marshawn, is at the curb picking up a pizza

that had been delivered. Officer Bronson is next door,

responding to the report of a prowler.

He approaches Marshawn, who becomes rattled.

We think we see Marshawn say, "I need to go get my mother."

As he's racing to the front steps,

Officer Bronson fires, hits him four times in the back.

He dies in his mother's arms a few minutes later.

- Oh, my God. - Yeah.

And now we have protests. 27 cities across the nation.

The protests, in addition to the attacks

we've already seen on the nation,

and our law enforcement officers are at their brink.

How are there protests when I haven't lifted the curfew yet?

Well, see, that is our other dilemma, sir.

People know about the curfew,

but they're showing up anyway, by the thousands.

So what are police supposed to do?

They're not going to arrest everyone.

Yeah, but it makes us look weak.

It does, sir.

What do you think we should do?

Well, first, we need to lift the mandatory curfew.

Let's make it a suggested curfew.

That way we can passively support

their right to protest without making the police feel like

people are taunting them while they're breaking the law

in front of their faces.

No, this is actually a good thing.

Treasury Secretary Art Skinner has been up my ass

trying to get me to open up the economy,

so he'll be really happy, and maybe it's a good thing.

No, I like it, I like it, I like it.

We just need to remind Americans,

encourage them to be vigilant about reporting

anything that's suspicious as they're heading back to work.

OK, yeah, and I've got to make

some amendments to that crime bill.

You know what? I think that's wise.

Quell the anger of the protesters,

make them feel like they get a win.

I like it.

I'll call Senator Harding and get on that ASAP.

Well, I'm actually meeting with him this afternoon.

Really?

Yeah. He called me late last night, he was frantic,

he said he had something very important to share with me.

Huh. Wow. Um...

I think I should probably attend that meeting.

Well, sir, if you can fit us into that schedule of yours,

I think that would be great.

You know what? I will make it work.

If he has an emergency,

and he needs to talk to my Attorney General,

I feel like I should be there.

He said it was a dire emergency, sir.

[door opens]

I have a smoothie for you, sir.

I already have my smoothie.

Sir, Naomi made this for you fresh.

Well, Richard brought this one for me. It's also freshly made.

Yeah, I get that.

I think you should get the smoothie made by your chef, sir.

Enough with the smoothies, Cross. You have it.

No, um, it's too healthy for me.

I'll take the smoothie, sir. I love these.

- Wait. - [glass smashes on ground]

- [Sutton] Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

[Sutton] Here, I'll get somebody to clean this.

I got it.

You OK, Agent Cross? You're acting awfully strange.

Yeah, uh, I'm good, sir.

- Clean this mess up. - [Cross] Yes, sir.

[door slides open]

All right. Got it.

You're like my own personal little spy.

- I am. - Let me see.

So, what is all this stuff?

It's our escape kit. So we can make a clean getaway.

We're really doing this, huh?

You're not getting cold feet on me now, are you?

Heck no.

- [phone rings] - Oh, it's Priscilla.

- Answer it. - Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey, where are you?

[Lilly] I'm at the hospital with Bobby.

- Oh, how is he? - He's managing.

On top of the gunshot wounds, somebody tried to poison him.

Damn. And somebody ambushed me at Richard and Nancy's house.

Wait, what? What happened?

They shot at me, but I hit the ground, they missed. I'm fine.

Oh, my God, Priscilla. This is so scary,

because they're really trying to kill all of us.

[Priscilla] Yeah, they are.

But I talked to a reporter, and I told her everything.

You did? Is she going to publish the story?

Well, they killed her after we spoke to her.

Oh my god, Priscilla. What are we gonna do?

It's OK, because she got a draft of the story done

before she was killed,

and we're going to try to get the Times to publish it.

All right. Now, listen to me, Priscilla,

You need to let this go. They won.

Like hell! We have a plan.

That's why I called, we need you.

- Need me? - [Priscilla] Yes!

We got to the Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harding,

and he wants to see all of us.

Priscilla, I don't think I can do that.

Don't tell me you're getting cold feet on me, Lilly,

because Allan already ran out on me.

Look, Priscilla, I'm not trying to flake out on you, OK?

I just, this is why I can't commit to this.

I need to make sure Bobby's OK.

Are you shitting me right now? We need you, Lilly.

Look, Priscilla, I'm sorry.

Listen, this is the time that we need to stick together

if we're going to bring him down. Please don't do this.

- Priscilla, no. Now, I'm sorry-- - Well fuck you and your apology!

Damn!

I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up.

She hung up on me.

That's OK. At least you told her the truth.

We're getting out of here.

There's isn't going to be anybody here for her to meet.

- What's in the bag? - Mustaches, wigs.

- Wow. - Passports, credit cards.

- Credit cards? - [Bobby] Mm-hmm.

- Are these active? - Yeah. I keep them active.

How so?

An old agent mentor of mine, Stan Bennett.

He taught me as a young agent to always be ready to disappear.

And Lilly, I've been ready to disappear for a long time now.

Who would I be?

There's two women identities. Choose one of them.

I don't know. It's Wilma DuBose and Mayumi Nakayama.

- Really, Bobby? - What?

- [Nancy sighs] - [Jody approaches, laughing]

Hey, Jody.

I've been trying to get over here to talk to you.

I'm sure you have. What's going on, Jody?

Uh, well, I don't want to make you upset.

I doubt if you can make me upset.

My son is dead. Life is different for me now.

Most of this bullshit around here don't matter to me.

Well, I don't think I ever heard you talk like that.

I'm sorry, Jody, but that's all I got. My son is dead.

Well, the neighbors got together to meet.

- OK. What about? - About you.

What about me?

Well, yes, they have a lot of concerns.

Spit it out, Jody.

There's a lot of activity here, Nancy.

And so many strange characters coming together

and coming to and fro all hours of the day and night.

And now the gang members are here! And cars being stolen!

And now everything is leading right back to this house.

And so, well, as a community, we have concerns.

So I told the people we should just talk to you.

No. Don't tell them to talk to me.

You tell them to mind their own damn business.

Oh, come on, Nancy. Don't be like that.

- Don't be like what? - We're all neighbors here.

We all got to live here together.

You know what? I'm sorry, Jody,

but I'm going to have to end this conversation with you, OK?

What?

No, no, no, no. Let me ask you this.

If they want to know about all the people

that are coming in and out of my house,

what are they going to do about it?

- Well-- - Well, exactly.

Just what I thought. They ain't going to do nothing.

You don't want to go to war with us, Nancy.

Oh, I don't want to go to war with you?

Uh-huh.

You don't want to go to war with me.

OK. OK, Nancy. Don't say I didn't try to warn you.

- Warn me? - Mm-hmm.

- Warn me? - Mm-hmm.

Girl, bye. Bye, Jody.

- "Girl, bye"? - Nosy ass.

Oh, I can't stand this heifer.

Mm, mm, mm.

[groans]

[line trilling]

- [Theo] Hello? - Yo, Theo?

You been back to the crib since we moved the body?

Hell no, and I hope you not there either.

I had to, man. I gotta... I gotta just lay down.

You need a doctor. You've been shot.

No, I ain't going to the doctor,

and get cops around me asking all sorts of questions.

Tell him you got robbed. Just lie.

Hey, uh...

I found a phone on my coffee table that's not mine.

Shit. Um, that means someone else was there.

It was probably the Mexican gang members.

They probably left it.

Cuz, you need to get up out of there.

Nah, nah, man. It's... Nah, I just got to rest.

You know, clean this... this wound.

Then I'll be all right.

- Nigga, do you want to die? - Whatever, nigga. Bye.

[groans]

[groans]

[breathes heavily]

Hey, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, hey. Hey man, hey. Hey.

Who the hell are you?

[Paco] Your worst nightmare. Hands up!

- I can't, dog. I got shot. - You want to get shot again?

Thank you. You found my cell phone. Yo, put your hands up!

What do you want?

The boss wants you. He said you took his money.

I don't have any money, man.

Then you're about to show the boss where it is.

I don't know where it is.

Then you're about to be dead. Get up. Put on your shirt.

[hits Kareem]

[line trilling]

[phone ringing]

- Hello? - Mother.

Jason.

You really think you're smarter than me?

I know I'm smarter than your dumb ass.

Yo, Mom, I don't care about your insults anymore.

You can call it an insult if you want.

It's the truth.

Mom, if you're so smart, how come you haven't found me yet?

I'm very patient, dear.

You won't avoid us for much longer.

- OK, yeah, we'll see about that. - I'd bet your life on it.

[Jason] But you're not going to be able

to go through with your plan.

I've got a little surprise for your hitmen.

[whistling The Star-Spangled Banner]

Well, we are going to have a surprise for you, Son.

You tried to kill Agent Kyle, but he survived.

Kyle's alive?

[Victoria] Yes.

And he's being released from the hospital today.

And he said that he's going to find you and whoop your ass.

He also called you a freak.

You and him are going to die like filthy rats.

Fuck you, Jason.

Fuck you.

OK, Kyle. You fucking fairy.

I got your wallet.

I know where you live, you fucking idiot.

- [line trilling] - Agent Isaac.

The freak took the bait. I need you to be ready.

- Hey. - [Max] Hey.

How'd you sleep?

Well, it's been an active night.

Actually, you don't look too good.

Yeah, I don't feel too good. A little lightheaded.

I think I might be getting sick.

Yeah, you can't sleep in this living room like this.

- You need some real sleep. - Yeah, you might be right.

Look, I'm up and out of my room.

I changed the sheets and everything.

Why don't you just go up there and get some sleep?

- No, I can't put you out. - Max, I can bring you some soup.

But go upstairs, put down those blackout curtains,

and get some rest.

- Are you sure? - First room on the right.

- All right. Thanks, Sharon. - Absolutely.

[phone vibrates]

- Sam. - Hey. You don't sound good.

Yeah, well, I think I'm getting sick.

- You need to get some rest. - [Max] I'm worried about Bobby.

Yeah, don't worry. I'm here at the hospital.

- So you stay asleep. - Really? OK. Thanks.

Look. You've been looking after my people. I got you, OK?

Get you some rest.

Listen, Sam. I think I found out

who the agent was that attacked Bobby.

Yeah, I heard. Agent Cross. Are you sure?

I don't know for sure, but he has a snake tattoo,

- so it makes sense to me. - It makes sense to me, too.

Sam, I need to make sure

he doesn't have access to Bobby's floor

Well, we handled it. His access has been blocked.

Thanks.

[Sam] Yeah. Get you some rest, Max.

- Yeah. - [footsteps approach]

Do I need to carry you up there myself?

Oh, no, sorry. I'm going.

- Mm-hmm. - [Max] I'm coming.

[footsteps approach]

- You ready? - I am.

Good. Agent Sutton's going to accompany us.

- Us? - Mm-hmm. I'm coming with you.

- Simone, are you sure? - Yes.

We need to secure the story that's on that hard drive.

But I don't want to put you in danger.

I'm the Second Lady of the United States.

I have a security detail, you don't. With me, you're safe.

I appreciate that. I'm just so mad right now.

- Wait, what? - I called Lilly.

I know Senator Harding wants as many witnesses as possible.

- And so what did she say? - She's out.

She and Allan left me out to dry.

- [knocks on door] - Speak of the devil.

Can I come in?

I have nothing to say to you, Allan.

Come in, Allan.

Look, I'm sorry, Priscilla.

Now that we can agree on. You are sorry.

Let him talk, Priscilla.

I woke up last night,

Jason was on top of me. He tried to kill me again.

- What? - Are you OK?

No. Not really. I'm exhausted. This place is killing me.

Well, then help us put a stop to this, Allan.

- I'm in. I mean it. - See? There you go.

No, are you sure? Do you really mean it?

You're not going to change your mind again?

I'm in, Priscilla. OK?

We need help. I'll do whatever it takes.

We got to someone in the Senate.

- Senator Harding? - We got to Senator Harding.

- And he wants to meet with us. - Wow.

OK. Yeah, just tell me when and where, I'll be there.

OK.

[Sutton] Be ready, Second Lady.

We have a full unit prepared for you.

Yes. We're coming.

Now, Abrielle got a story written before she was murdered.

Oh, thank God.

It's at my house. We're on our way to go get it now.

- OK, great. - [Priscilla] All right?

[Allan] Wow.

- We're going to get him. - Yeah.

Hmm.

Allan, what the hell are you doing here?

I'm talking to the Second Lady, sir.

Boy, get your ass to your office right now.

- Fucking guy. - What the fuck did you just say?

Who the hell do you think you're talking to, Donald?

- Excuse me? - Wait a minute.

- There you are. - Yeah, I saw you calling me.

I was going to give you a call back.

What the hell, Cross? Why isn't this place on fire

because the Vice President suddenly died? What's going on?

We had an issue.

You had an issue? You said you had this.

I do got this.

You told me that you could handle this, Cross.

- I can handle it, Isaac. - So what happened?

So I brought him a smoothie, and he already had a smoothie.

How the hell did that happen?

Evidently, Richard, the butler to the President,

thought it was a great idea

to make Eli a smoothie this morning.

- You've got to be kidding me. - Yeah.

I tried to get him the smoothie, he thought I was acting strange.

Probably because you were acting strange, Cross.

Don't worry about it. I'll get it done at his dinner.

Dinner? I can't trust that.

Look, man. He's going to eat dinner.

He always eats after a long day.

And what if he's not hungry?

And what if Richard brings in more food?

None of that's going to happen, all right? I got it covered.

- Is he going on his run tonight? - As far as I know.

You may have to get him on his run.

Yeah. That's going to be complicated. It might get messy.

I don't think we have a choice.

[wakes up, groans]

- [spits] - [Paco] Bro, you look bad.

Ay, please dog, if I had the money, you'd have it.

You want to live?

Please, please.

OK. You're going to help us get the money.

I'll do all I can.

[Paco] Whatever you can, better lead us to the money.

Who's this white boy you keep telling us about?

Uh, his name's Dale.

- You got a picture of him? - Uh, it's in my phone.

Show me.

- Here. - OK. Where does he live?

I don't know, man.

But I know where his best friend lives.

Who's his best friend?

- My ex-girl, Sharon. - Show me.

She's pretty. Where is she?

I can show you. I can show you.

Are you sure she can take us to the white boy?

I'm sure.

Who shot you?

This woman at the house that we'll be going to.

Looks pretty bad.

It hurts, man.

I've seen that before. It's not good. You might die.

- Can you help me? - Help you? How?

I just need a doctor.

Take us to the money.

You do that, and maybe we get you some help.

- All right. Yeah. I'll show you. - Come on!

[groans]

[engines pass by]

[door opens]

- Is it OK to come in? - We're clear.

Ah. There's the package.

[Priscilla] Thank you. Let's open it.

Here you go. Take that.

- There's a note. - Well, what does it say?

[Priscilla] "Harriet, if something happens to me,

get this to my editor at the Times, her name is Lena."

Damn.

Little did she know Lena would be dead, too.

Their deaths cannot be in vain, Simone.

No. No, they won't be.

We're going to make sure that this story gets published.

All right? Let's download it now.

Let me get my computer.

[Priscilla] OK.

After you download it, email it to both me and you.

We need as many copies of this as we can get.

Exactly. All right.

[laughs]

[phone beeps]

[Priscilla] OK.

[Priscilla sighs]

OK. Good.

When Hunter is indicted, I'll be ready to step up

as President of the United States.

[Victoria] Next on The Oval .

I just have three more enemies that I need to see about.

Meredith tells me that you have

Where's the white boy?

I don't know, but he and Sharon talk all the time.

[Paco] Tell that bitch to come out here,

or we're going in there to get her.
