1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,470
[applause]
2
00:00:04,537 --> 00:00:09,642
[singing America the Beautiful
in French]
3
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:21,154
[whispering, indistinct]
4
00:00:23,022 --> 00:00:25,258
[whispering, indistinct]
5
00:00:38,771 --> 00:00:41,407
What's going on?
6
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:45,645
- What are they doing here?
- I don't know.
7
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:48,481
We weren't given any warning
of their arrival.
8
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:49,949
OK.
9
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:53,019
We felt it best that we come here
and tell you personally.
10
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:55,755
This came on us like a sneak attack.
11
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:58,524
- Safe to join?
- Just give us another second, Rod.
12
00:00:58,591 --> 00:00:59,926
He's my chief of staff, Jim.
13
00:01:00,893 --> 00:01:03,596
The president has
a bleeding aneurysm in his brain.
14
00:01:08,601 --> 00:01:10,470
- How bad?
- Bad.
15
00:01:10,536 --> 00:01:13,273
It caused a massive stroke.
When should we get word?
16
00:01:13,339 --> 00:01:16,142
Two hours. Maybe three.
Surgery seems to be going well.
17
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:18,444
It is, nonetheless, major surgery.
18
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:20,947
He'll be incapacitated
for we don't know how long.
19
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:22,782
It'll be months of rehabilitation.
20
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:26,119
The doc explained these
things come out of nowhere.
21
00:01:26,185 --> 00:01:28,988
Usually there's no symptoms
until the thing ruptures.
22
00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:31,924
You get headaches,
blurry vision, episodes of confusion.
23
00:01:31,991 --> 00:01:34,360
He's not gonna be in condition
to stay in office.
24
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:39,098
The 25th Amendment would kick in. The
vice president assumes the presidency.
25
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:43,403
OK. Um...
26
00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:47,140
Melanie, um... what happens now?
Do I take the oath or...?
27
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:52,745
What?
28
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:55,014
We need you to resign, Mac.
29
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:58,518
You see, if you resign,
Nathan Templeton could move into office.
30
00:01:58,584 --> 00:02:00,987
Oh, I know it'd move
Nathan Templeton into office.
31
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:04,223
Why would I want to move
this speaker of the house into office?
32
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:07,894
You are an Independent. We need
a Republican head of the administration.
33
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,263
Bridges picked Mac to succeed him if...
34
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:14,000
Just... This is coming
from the president?
35
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:15,668
This is the president's intent.
36
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:19,339
I have no idea what that means. Did
the president tell you this directly?
37
00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:22,075
He was being wheeled into brain surgery.
38
00:02:22,141 --> 00:02:23,643
We got hell on earth afoot.
39
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:27,547
We got Korea, Syria, Iran. Things are
too unstable. We don't need the world...
40
00:02:27,613 --> 00:02:30,683
...to see a soft, indecisive woman
commanding the troops,
41
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:33,086
as opposed
to Nathan "Bloody Hell" Templeton?
42
00:02:36,622 --> 00:02:39,559
Madam Vice President,
I must insist that you consider...
43
00:02:39,625 --> 00:02:42,595
Jim, you're not in a position
to insist how I take my coffee.
44
00:02:50,303 --> 00:02:52,872
That said... how would this work?
45
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:55,608
- I resign...
- No, no. You don't have to.
46
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:59,612
Tell them that you could not
follow the ideals of this president.
47
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,381
Then what?
48
00:03:01,447 --> 00:03:05,451
I... make a deal with Random House
to write a book?
49
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:10,423
Air Force Two
can be wheels up in an hour.
50
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:14,160
OK, when we're in the air,
I want to speak to the chairman.
51
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:16,329
Chairman?
52
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:17,663
Of the Joint Chiefs?
53
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:21,467
Yes, Jim. Of the Joint Chiefs.
54
00:03:28,474 --> 00:03:31,811
[singing America the Beautiful
in French]
55
00:03:33,179 --> 00:03:35,448
[shouting in French]
56
00:04:12,018 --> 00:04:13,786
Mackenzie, call's ready.
57
00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:15,455
Good. What have you heard?
58
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:18,357
The president is still in surgery
but they are confident.
59
00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:20,393
- There's been nothing on the news.
- No.
60
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:24,230
Media's in the dark. It's a good lid.
I had OMB send some bill summaries.
61
00:04:24,297 --> 00:04:27,366
You know, we have to reschedule
with the French. I got no...
62
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:30,603
I know how important this is to you.
But you saw, right?
63
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:32,805
The French are not
gonna help us in Nigeria.
64
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:36,509
If you assume the presidency, this
can't be the first thing you jump into.
65
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:38,177
If I have to assume office,
66
00:04:38,244 --> 00:04:41,481
the Nigerians are gonna move up
the execution of Oria Madula.
67
00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:45,218
They will bury this woman in sand
up to her neck and stone her to death.
68
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:47,920
That can't be the first result
of my presidency.
69
00:04:48,012 --> 00:04:50,681
Uh, the twins.
The Secret Service is getting them home?
70
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:52,558
- Yeah.
- [whistle blows]
71
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:55,127
[man shouting]
72
00:04:57,663 --> 00:05:00,233
[man] Here he is.
Got him right here. Horace!
73
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:04,637
- What's up, Ted?
- We gotta go.
74
00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:07,206
- I have a few sprints left.
- No. We don't have time.
75
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:09,308
- We gotta get you home.
- What's going on?
76
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:11,844
We have instructions
to get you to the residence.
77
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:14,747
- [woman] Becca?
- Oh, Joan!
78
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:16,415
I got her.
79
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:18,284
- We were just...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
80
00:05:18,351 --> 00:05:19,886
I'll call you.
81
00:05:20,953 --> 00:05:22,555
Let's go.
82
00:05:23,422 --> 00:05:25,191
Bye.
83
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:27,927
- We're coming out.
- [man on walkie-talkie] Copy that.
84
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:32,732
- [man] Madam Vice President?
- [Jim] Got the JCS on line three.
85
00:05:32,798 --> 00:05:35,768
Thank you. Would you
bring up the carriers, please?
86
00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:39,805
General Pollack,
this is the vice president.
87
00:05:39,872 --> 00:05:41,107
- Yes, ma'am.
- General,
88
00:05:41,173 --> 00:05:43,809
uh, you're aware
of the president's condition?
89
00:05:43,876 --> 00:05:45,211
Yes, ma'am. How's he doing?
90
00:05:45,278 --> 00:05:47,313
We're, uh... we're hoping for the best.
91
00:05:48,114 --> 00:05:50,449
But should things become more...
92
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:54,320
...serious or should news
of the president's condition get out,
93
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:56,322
we would move to a higher DEFCON.
94
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,557
That's SOP.
95
00:05:57,623 --> 00:06:01,160
OK, um, I'd like to elevate
our readiness posture now.
96
00:06:01,227 --> 00:06:02,728
- Let's not wait.
- Yes, ma'am.
97
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:04,297
May I ask what you're doing?
98
00:06:04,363 --> 00:06:07,800
Uh, also, let's get
our carriers to our hot spots.
99
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:10,736
I see that the Truman is in the Med?
100
00:06:10,803 --> 00:06:13,406
Annual NATO friendship maneuvers.
101
00:06:13,472 --> 00:06:16,809
Hmm. Well, give our regrets to NATO
and move her over to Gaza.
102
00:06:17,376 --> 00:06:20,279
I want the Kitty Hawk…
sitting on Pyongyang.
103
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:24,450
And, um... the Tarawa, does
the Tarawa have extraction teams?
104
00:06:24,517 --> 00:06:26,085
United States Marine Corps.
105
00:06:26,152 --> 00:06:29,488
Good. That's all for now, general.
I'll leave you to your work.
106
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:30,590
Yes, ma'am.
107
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:34,260
What do I tell the president when he
asks why you put our Navy on high alert?
108
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:36,896
He won't ask. He'll know.
109
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:48,975
Madam Vice President, we need
to discuss the remarks Kelly wrote
110
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:51,377
for the DAR event this evening
when we get back.
111
00:06:51,444 --> 00:06:53,813
Give it to me.
I'll take a look. Gentlemen.
112
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,682
- Don't forget about the EPA speech.
- OK. Thanks.
113
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:59,852
Rod. This is not going to stand.
114
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:01,320
What are you talking about?
115
00:07:01,387 --> 00:07:04,957
I don't know if this is some last
hurrah crap. But what is she thinking?
116
00:07:05,024 --> 00:07:08,127
Taking over the military like that.
It's like a coup d'état!
117
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:12,031
I know what you're going through, but
you need to choose your tone carefully.
118
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:15,267
It's my job to protect the vital
interests of the vice president
119
00:07:15,334 --> 00:07:19,071
and the United States,
and in this case they are the same.
120
00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:22,875
Clear out of your office, Jim.
121
00:07:23,809 --> 00:07:26,379
[boy] You're next in line.
That's the rule.
122
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:30,316
- That's the Constitution.
- It's more complicated than that.
123
00:07:30,383 --> 00:07:33,419
Are you going to get a chance
to speak to the president?
124
00:07:33,486 --> 00:07:35,855
When he gets out of recovery.
125
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:40,259
I, uh... think I know your opinion.
126
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,962
Don't worry, Mom. I'll be dutiful.
127
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:46,465
I don't want you to be dutiful.
I just don't want you to be a hypocrite.
128
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:51,303
I just think that the people voted
for what President Bridges believes in.
129
00:07:51,370 --> 00:07:53,172
You mean what you believe in.
130
00:07:54,573 --> 00:07:56,442
[sighs] I just...
131
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:59,845
You know, if you can't deliver,
then maybe you should step aside.
132
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:09,088
What about you?
What do you think?
133
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:10,990
Will they put your face on money?
134
00:08:12,324 --> 00:08:16,262
Um… you know what? They already
have faces on all the money.
135
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:18,898
But maybe if I do a really good job,
136
00:08:18,964 --> 00:08:22,134
they'll make, like,
a 15-dollar bill, just for me.
137
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:25,104
Staff's assembled, ma'am.
138
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:28,974
Thank you. Now remember,
this is a really big secret, so…
139
00:08:31,977 --> 00:08:33,879
OK. See you, guys.
140
00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:37,850
- [man 1] Good afternoon.
- [man 2] Ma'am.
141
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:39,485
Thank you for coming.
142
00:08:39,552 --> 00:08:41,120
Madam Vice President.
143
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,055
Let's go talk it out.
144
00:08:43,122 --> 00:08:44,690
[clock chimes]
145
00:08:44,757 --> 00:08:47,560
We should probably get
an NSC brief. First thing.
146
00:08:47,626 --> 00:08:49,195
Should Templeton be in on that?
147
00:08:49,261 --> 00:08:51,831
No, no. Right now,
we keep Templeton out of the mix.
148
00:08:51,897 --> 00:08:53,766
We really need to talk about Nigeria.
149
00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:57,236
If you become president, you're
damned if you do, damned if you don't.
150
00:08:57,303 --> 00:08:59,672
If you continue to try
to get Oria Madula out,
151
00:08:59,739 --> 00:09:02,308
you're focusing foreign policy
on just one person.
152
00:09:02,374 --> 00:09:05,578
If she doesn't... Ma'am,
if you don't help, she will be executed.
153
00:09:05,644 --> 00:09:06,746
[telephone rings]
154
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:09,648
[Rebecca] Hey.
Someone wants to say good night.
155
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:11,250
Oh.
156
00:09:12,251 --> 00:09:14,754
- Good night, baby girl.
- Good night.
157
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,456
- Hey.
- Good night, Daddy.
158
00:09:17,523 --> 00:09:18,924
- Good night.
- I love you.
159
00:09:18,991 --> 00:09:20,926
OK. I love you. We'll get right on...
160
00:09:20,993 --> 00:09:23,496
Guys, I'm going to take
that NSC meeting by myself.
161
00:09:24,563 --> 00:09:26,398
Mac...
162
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:27,900
...the president's awake.
163
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:30,536
He wants to see you.
164
00:09:36,041 --> 00:09:37,910
[elevator bell rings]
165
00:09:39,645 --> 00:09:41,747
How is he?
166
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:45,551
He seems OK.
Surprisingly lucid, considering.
167
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:57,463
- I love this man.
- I know.
168
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:06,105
Hey, boss. How are you feeling?
169
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:09,041
Like crap.
170
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:10,876
Anything I can do?
171
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,478
Well,
172
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:16,949
doctors say I'll be a year
in rehab just to talk straight.
173
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:20,753
Uh.
174
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,656
Finally took God to nail me.
175
00:10:26,425 --> 00:10:30,963
I hear you reorganized
the Sixth Fleet while I was napping.
176
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:34,867
I was bored. I'd already read
all the magazines on the plane.
177
00:10:36,735 --> 00:10:39,238
You're gonna pluck her out, huh?
178
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,807
- If I have the opportunity.
- It's a mistake.
179
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,645
You gave Jim Gardner a coronary.
180
00:10:49,915 --> 00:10:51,584
[sighs]
181
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,188
Mac…
182
00:10:58,490 --> 00:11:01,927
I want you to hear this from me.
183
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:04,129
I want...
184
00:11:06,031 --> 00:11:09,602
I need you to resign.
185
00:11:16,308 --> 00:11:19,411
Sir, would you really rather have
Nathan Templeton?
186
00:11:19,478 --> 00:11:23,716
You and I, Mac,
we just see a different America.
187
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,818
[exhales]
188
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:28,954
Templeton's an SOB and a liar
and he cheats at poker.
189
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:31,523
But he shares my vision...
190
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:34,460
...supports my will.
191
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:38,063
You tell me...
192
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:39,732
...in your heart...
193
00:11:39,798 --> 00:11:42,668
...that you'd do the same.
194
00:11:48,908 --> 00:11:50,876
I will not resign...
195
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:53,913
...until you do.
196
00:12:09,828 --> 00:12:11,463
[siren wails]
197
00:12:13,465 --> 00:12:15,434
Well, chancellor,
198
00:12:15,501 --> 00:12:17,036
I come here, hat in hand.
199
00:12:17,102 --> 00:12:20,673
You know, it's university policy
not to endorse any candidate.
200
00:12:20,739 --> 00:12:25,344
- I don't place stock in endorsements.
- You're probably right about that.
201
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:28,781
You've done a hell of a job
here at the University of Richmond.
202
00:12:28,847 --> 00:12:30,950
I mean, your leadership's unquestioned.
203
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:33,185
Your research
that's coming out of here...
204
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:36,088
How many Nobel Prizes
do you have now?
205
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:40,292
And your expertise in Middle Eastern
politics, it's impeccable.
206
00:12:40,993 --> 00:12:42,328
Thank you.
207
00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:46,432
Well, hell, Mackenzie, I'm just
gonna come straight out and ask you.
208
00:12:46,498 --> 00:12:48,367
I want you to be my running mate.
209
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:51,704
Surprised?
210
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:54,506
Did you just ask me
to be your vice president?
211
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:56,008
Mm-hm.
212
00:12:56,075 --> 00:12:58,510
Then yes, I'm surprised.
213
00:12:58,577 --> 00:13:00,679
Well...
214
00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:02,481
...here I am, champ.
215
00:13:03,415 --> 00:13:05,351
Asking you to join my team.
216
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:08,420
To become the first
woman vice president.
217
00:13:09,254 --> 00:13:11,757
- And the first Independent.
- I know, I know.
218
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:15,627
You walked away from Congress because
you didn't want to play the "yes" game.
219
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:17,029
I... I respect that.
220
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:20,599
Look, I had four years in Congress.
Four years.
221
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:24,103
The press is gonna devour me
over my lack of experience.
222
00:13:24,169 --> 00:13:27,673
We've had experience in the White House.
What's it gotten us?
223
00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:31,310
Watergate, Vietnam,
Iran-gate, WMD-gate.
224
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:33,645
I want somebody
who hasn't learned the game
225
00:13:33,712 --> 00:13:36,548
of survival by deception.
226
00:13:36,615 --> 00:13:38,751
I want intellect. I want…
227
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:42,588
You want someone who can help with
a 40 percent approval rating with women.
228
00:13:42,654 --> 00:13:44,490
Hell, Mackenzie.
229
00:13:44,556 --> 00:13:48,360
If my raw need for power is what
opens the door for a woman, so what?
230
00:13:49,628 --> 00:13:51,030
And as for the media,
231
00:13:51,096 --> 00:13:54,900
kiddo, you're gonna be a star.
232
00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:56,869
[door opens]
233
00:13:56,935 --> 00:13:58,203
Hey.
234
00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:02,608
- Hey, Kelly.
- Sorry to rouse you, Kelly.
235
00:14:03,075 --> 00:14:04,877
Sure.
236
00:14:06,211 --> 00:14:09,982
- [siren wails]
- What's going on?
237
00:14:10,783 --> 00:14:13,719
The president has had a stroke.
From a bleeding aneurysm.
238
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:17,056
He's not gonna be able
to remain in office.
239
00:14:17,122 --> 00:14:19,224
I need you to write
a resignation speech.
240
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:21,894
Uh... wouldn't the president
want Kevin to write it?
241
00:14:22,728 --> 00:14:24,329
It's not for him. It's for me.
242
00:14:26,465 --> 00:14:29,001
The Oval Office should now be filled
243
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,870
by someone who shares
the vision of President Bridges...
244
00:14:31,937 --> 00:14:33,572
As in Nathan Templeton? Come on.
245
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,308
This guy makes Genghis Khan
look like Mahatma Gandhi.
246
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:38,977
- Not like I haven't thought about this.
- Ma'am.
247
00:14:39,711 --> 00:14:42,081
Just take out your pen and write.
248
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:44,583
"The desire to see a woman
in presidential office
249
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,386
- cannot be as important as..."
- Return of book burning,
250
00:14:47,453 --> 00:14:50,689
creationism in the classroom,
invading every little country...
251
00:14:50,756 --> 00:14:55,027
- Shut up. We have to get this done.
- We don't have to get this done.
252
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:57,830
We should be in there
talking some sense into her.
253
00:14:57,896 --> 00:15:00,599
Templeton cannot be our president.
Not on my watch.
254
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:02,000
Your watch?
255
00:15:05,737 --> 00:15:07,306
Kelly.
256
00:15:07,372 --> 00:15:10,542
A female... president.
257
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:17,382
Can't you smell the history?
258
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:19,218
It's not my job to smell history.
259
00:15:20,285 --> 00:15:22,955
Why do you think we're here?
260
00:15:23,021 --> 00:15:24,857
For moments like this.
261
00:15:24,923 --> 00:15:29,261
We're here because though
she may be great, she isn't perfect.
262
00:15:30,762 --> 00:15:34,032
She is making a horrible decision.
263
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:35,701
But she's made it.
264
00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:41,573
You sure about this?
265
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,308
Of course not.
266
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,979
He asked me to resign.
267
00:15:47,045 --> 00:15:48,981
If you could have just heard him...
268
00:15:49,047 --> 00:15:51,350
I wasn't there. And that's the point.
269
00:15:51,416 --> 00:15:53,986
So I can... I can look
at this thing objectively.
270
00:15:55,821 --> 00:15:58,123
Look, this is what we do.
271
00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:00,058
We do the right thing.
272
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:02,661
You have a country
full of people who believe in you.
273
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:06,131
Well, I have a president who doesn't,
274
00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:08,000
a cabinet who doesn't.
275
00:16:08,066 --> 00:16:12,004
I have a daughter who'd rather see Pat
Buchanan in office than her old lady.
276
00:16:14,106 --> 00:16:16,975
[beeping]
277
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:18,777
[flatline tone]
278
00:16:18,844 --> 00:16:20,612
[woman] Flatline!
279
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:22,080
[man] Clear!
280
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:24,349
- No response!
- Charging.
281
00:16:24,416 --> 00:16:26,618
Clear!
282
00:16:27,452 --> 00:16:29,588
[man] Go to 300!
283
00:16:31,023 --> 00:16:32,791
[woman] No rhythm!
284
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:35,427
[man] Charge… clear!
285
00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:37,729
No response! 400!
286
00:16:37,796 --> 00:16:39,431
Stay with us, sir!
287
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:42,668
Clear!
288
00:16:42,734 --> 00:16:45,771
[woman] I can't get a reading!
Still not responding.
289
00:16:45,837 --> 00:16:49,141
Oh, Jim, I‘m so sorry.
290
00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:52,010
There was a massive
bleeding into his brain.
291
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:56,248
The doctor said there was
a good chance this might happen.
292
00:16:56,315 --> 00:17:00,252
- Mr. Chief Justice.
- Madam Vice President.
293
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:03,889
Mr. Chief Justice,
we'll be meeting in the study.
294
00:17:03,906 --> 00:17:05,941
Mr. Templeton.
295
00:17:09,828 --> 00:17:11,964
I'm devastated.
296
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:17,603
Well, at this point, you are technically
the president of the United States.
297
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:20,239
Unless, of course,
you should choose to resign.
298
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:22,007
That why you're here, Nathan?
299
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:26,878
Ready to take the oath as soon
as I do the right thing and step aside?
300
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:30,315
Would you all give me
a few minutes with Ms. Allen?
301
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,125
It's going fast, isn't it?
302
00:17:40,192 --> 00:17:41,860
That's what I resent.
303
00:17:41,927 --> 00:17:45,731
I resent that I don't have time
to mourn my friend.
304
00:17:45,797 --> 00:17:49,201
Ship of state just sails on regardless.
305
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:54,306
They told me that
he asked you to step down.
306
00:17:54,373 --> 00:17:55,974
And I think you should.
307
00:17:56,041 --> 00:17:57,609
I'm sure that you do.
308
00:17:57,676 --> 00:18:00,879
You know, I'm not telling you
to do it out of respect for his wishes,
309
00:18:00,946 --> 00:18:05,083
and certainly not because
of anything I might want for myself.
310
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:07,786
The world's in turmoil, Mac.
It could go any which way.
311
00:18:07,853 --> 00:18:11,556
This is not the time for social advances
312
00:18:11,623 --> 00:18:13,525
made for the sake of social advances.
313
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:16,061
Meaning a woman in the Oval Office.
314
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:19,031
No. Meaning a woman
as the leader of the free world.
315
00:18:19,097 --> 00:18:23,869
How many Islamic states would follow
the edicts of a woman? Very few, I fear.
316
00:18:23,935 --> 00:18:26,471
Well, not only that, Nathan,
but we have that whole
317
00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:29,908
"once a month, will she
or won't she press the button" thing.
318
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:34,146
Well,
319
00:18:34,212 --> 00:18:37,249
a couple years, you're not
gonna have to worry about that.
320
00:18:38,016 --> 00:18:41,620
You know that your vice-presidency
was never ever intended
321
00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:44,489
to be a presidency.
It was done as a stunt.
322
00:18:44,556 --> 00:18:48,193
I mean, you can see that.
You're a female. You're an Independent.
323
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:50,696
- You're a teacher.
- University chancellor.
324
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:53,198
Hey. A philosopher queen.
325
00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:57,369
But the point is, it was all done
as pure theater,
326
00:18:57,436 --> 00:18:58,837
and you got great reviews.
327
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:02,407
But now you should get off the stage
while the audience still loves you,
328
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:05,877
before they figure out that your
vice-presidency was a lot of nothing.
329
00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:08,914
Because when they get a look
at that “go away” mission
330
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:12,451
he sent you on to Al... Nigeria
for what's her name?
331
00:19:12,517 --> 00:19:15,554
- The adulteress?
- Oria Madula.
332
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:18,790
Yeah. It was supposed
to be another piece of theater.
333
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:22,627
But then you up and went to France
and asked them for assistance. France?
334
00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:26,998
You asked guys who can't get elected
without the Muslim vote
335
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:31,636
to intercede in the verdict of Nigerian
sharia court? Come on, Mac.
336
00:19:31,703 --> 00:19:34,573
Ugh! We're gonna end up
looking silly and ineffectual
337
00:19:34,639 --> 00:19:37,042
because you're never
gonna be able to save her
338
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:39,544
and we're gonna lose face,
and for whom?
339
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:42,314
A lady who couldn't
keep her legs together.
340
00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:53,692
Nate.
341
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:56,928
I'm gonna go out there,
342
00:19:56,995 --> 00:19:59,331
and I'm gonna take the oath of office.
343
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:01,466
I'm gonna run this government.
344
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,903
If some Islamic nations
can't tolerate a female president,
345
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:06,972
it will be more their problem than mine.
346
00:20:07,773 --> 00:20:12,444
Why? Why do you want to be president?
347
00:20:12,511 --> 00:20:14,045
Same reason Teddy Bridges did.
348
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:16,581
I believe the people
of America deserve to have...
349
00:20:16,648 --> 00:20:18,083
No.
350
00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:22,921
In this room, where it's just you
and me, just the two of us,
351
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:26,391
the answer that you should be giving
me is that you want to be president
352
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,093
because you want the power.
353
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,362
You want the power
to control the universe.
354
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:33,665
- That's not me.
- Well, that's the problem.
355
00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:36,001
That's what I'm telling you.
356
00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:39,171
People who don't want power
have no idea what to do with it.
357
00:20:39,237 --> 00:20:41,840
They have no idea
how to use it when they have it.
358
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,476
Mr. Speaker, I would
very much like an invitation
359
00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:47,379
to address a joint session
of Congress tomorrow night.
360
00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:50,215
- Before the funeral?
- Before the markets open.
361
00:20:50,282 --> 00:20:53,685
We want to convince the world
there's no crisis of leadership. Right?
362
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:55,687
Do you have a Bible handy?
363
00:20:55,754 --> 00:20:57,689
Becca, what about
that one in your room?
364
00:20:57,756 --> 00:20:59,458
Here.
365
00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:01,760
Use mine.
366
00:21:10,635 --> 00:21:13,205
[man] I, Mackenzie Spencer Allen...
367
00:21:13,271 --> 00:21:15,006
I, Mackenzie S. Allen…
368
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:17,042
...do solemnly swear...
369
00:21:17,108 --> 00:21:19,044
...do solemnly swear…
370
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:21,246
…that I will faithfully
execute the office
371
00:21:21,313 --> 00:21:23,281
of president of the United States.
372
00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:25,517
…that I will faithfully
execute the office
373
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:27,919
of president of the United States.
374
00:21:30,655 --> 00:21:35,227
[man 1] This is an electrifying
and historic moment, Mackenzie Allen…
375
00:21:35,293 --> 00:21:38,563
[woman] She was wearing a navy
sleeveless suit when she took the...
376
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:41,733
[man 2] The late president's condition
was kept from the nation
377
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,101
up until two hours ago…
378
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:46,438
[man 3] Allen was sworn in in a
private ceremony just a few hours ago…
379
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:48,840
[woman] ...the first female
in the Oval Office,
380
00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:52,010
but indeed the first Independent
president to take the office.
381
00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:54,446
Madam President,
both staffs have assembled.
382
00:21:54,513 --> 00:21:56,648
Kelly, we have
the Roosevelt ready for you.
383
00:21:56,715 --> 00:21:59,451
The DOD and Protocol
are making funeral arrangements.
384
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:01,820
I reviewed the NSC report this morning.
385
00:22:01,887 --> 00:22:03,388
Not much to worry about. Sir.
386
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:07,125
Kelly we have everything ready
for you in here. Coffee?
387
00:22:08,426 --> 00:22:11,329
- Morning.
- Morning. Madam President.
388
00:22:11,396 --> 00:22:14,366
Just make sure that everybody...
389
00:22:14,432 --> 00:22:17,102
[talking continues]
390
00:22:27,812 --> 00:22:32,517
[Jim] I, um... I haven't had time
to type up my letter of resignation yet.
391
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:35,120
But it is forthcoming.
Meanwhile, anything I can...
392
00:22:35,186 --> 00:22:38,990
Listen, you've...
You've done a damn good job here.
393
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,560
We're gonna need you
during the transition phase.
394
00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:45,297
I was hoping that you could help us
set up meetings with the dignitaries.
395
00:22:45,363 --> 00:22:47,332
- You should sit in.
- Whatever you need.
396
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:49,234
I've assembled the cabinet for you.
397
00:22:49,301 --> 00:22:51,469
OK. Give me ten minutes.
398
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:53,538
I'll see you in ten minutes.
399
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:01,413
- How do you feel?
- Sad.
400
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:05,350
Yeah. I know.
401
00:23:05,417 --> 00:23:06,818
Hmm.
402
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:10,221
The truth is, I know I can do this.
403
00:23:10,288 --> 00:23:11,623
Yes, you can.
404
00:23:11,690 --> 00:23:13,959
That doesn't mean I'm prepared.
405
00:23:14,025 --> 00:23:16,428
I was never on the inside.
406
00:23:16,494 --> 00:23:18,330
I wasn't Gore. I wasn't Cheney.
407
00:23:19,097 --> 00:23:21,833
OK, that's right.
You're not one of those guys.
408
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:25,837
You're Mackenzie Allen. You're
the president of the United States.
409
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:28,173
You represent
this nation's strength, OK?
410
00:23:28,239 --> 00:23:31,876
And that's how we have
to go into that cabinet meeting.
411
00:23:31,943 --> 00:23:36,047
You talk about... about solidarity,
about President Bridges,
412
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:39,384
about how he would have wanted
to have kept the administration,
413
00:23:39,451 --> 00:23:41,186
you know, together.
414
00:23:41,252 --> 00:23:42,654
- [knocking]
- Come on in.
415
00:23:42,721 --> 00:23:45,223
- And let's keep it on track.
- Madam President?
416
00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:52,764
I can clear the desk off for you
when you're not here.
417
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:55,634
Thank you, Ruth.
418
00:23:56,635 --> 00:24:00,505
Sir, you are to meet with Nora Woodruff
in the Vermeil in ten.
419
00:24:00,572 --> 00:24:03,408
- Who's Nora Woodruff?
- The first lady's chief of staff.
420
00:24:03,475 --> 00:24:05,844
That can wait.
I've got to see the president...
421
00:24:05,910 --> 00:24:07,646
You know, I'm OK, Rod.
422
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,714
You sure?
423
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,988
Sir, you can use that door to get...
424
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:18,723
Thank you, Ruth.
425
00:24:22,260 --> 00:24:25,764
Ruth, I would like to talk
to you later about staying,
426
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:27,332
integrating my staff with...
427
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:30,268
I would understand if you
wanted to bring Ms. Rogers over.
428
00:24:30,335 --> 00:24:32,937
She should stay
in the vice president's office.
429
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:34,773
I'd like you here, if you don't mind.
430
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:36,207
Well, ma'am...
431
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:38,910
...yes, I do.
432
00:24:39,778 --> 00:24:40,845
Oh.
433
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:43,481
I don't mean to apply
any more pressure to you.
434
00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:44,949
It must be...
435
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:48,219
My God, I can't imagine
what it must be like for you.
436
00:24:48,286 --> 00:24:52,023
But I have been with him
for more than a decade.
437
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:54,893
And I know that he did not want
you behind that desk. And so…
438
00:24:54,959 --> 00:24:59,164
Why don't you give it a few days,
Ruth? See, you know, how it goes.
439
00:24:59,964 --> 00:25:01,366
I wish you success, ma'am.
440
00:25:02,233 --> 00:25:04,803
I really do.
Because I wish this country success.
441
00:25:04,869 --> 00:25:07,038
But... staying here,
442
00:25:07,105 --> 00:25:10,141
it would just make me feel…
443
00:25:11,810 --> 00:25:14,846
- Say it, whatever it is.
- It would make me feel cheap.
444
00:25:17,048 --> 00:25:19,984
You're gonna put the time in
to training Ms. Rogers?
445
00:25:20,051 --> 00:25:21,786
- Of course.
- Great.
446
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:25,390
Would you set some time aside for
calls to Congressional leaders for me?
447
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:27,859
- Of course, ma'am.
- Thank you.
448
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:54,986
- Soon enough.
- What?
449
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:57,188
Your painting will be up there
soon enough.
450
00:25:57,255 --> 00:26:00,458
I'm Nora Woodruff.
I run the first lady's staff.
451
00:26:00,525 --> 00:26:03,027
- And also the Office of Protocol.
- Oh.
452
00:26:03,094 --> 00:26:05,363
It's just awful about the president.
Isn't it?
453
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:07,732
But the first lady came to me...
454
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,734
I'm sorry, Mrs. Bridges came to me,
455
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:12,070
and she told me that
the nation needs to move on
456
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:14,172
and that I should get
with you right away.
457
00:26:14,239 --> 00:26:16,441
- Good.
- May I show you to your office?
458
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:19,444
- Uh...
- This way.
459
00:26:19,511 --> 00:26:21,246
[indistinct chatter]
460
00:26:21,312 --> 00:26:22,847
Ladies and gentlemen,
461
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,784
- the president of the United States.
- Good morning.
462
00:26:26,551 --> 00:26:28,153
Please, take your seats.
463
00:26:28,219 --> 00:26:30,321
Ma'am, you need to look at this.
464
00:26:35,527 --> 00:26:38,029
I'm sorry, uh, I'd like
this meeting to be closed
465
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:40,965
to everyone but cabinet members.
466
00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:47,772
- General, if you would please stay.
- Yes, ma'am.
467
00:26:55,346 --> 00:26:58,383
It seems that our
secretary of labor has resigned.
468
00:26:58,449 --> 00:27:00,218
Effective immediately.
469
00:27:01,219 --> 00:27:03,888
Is there anyone else?
470
00:27:04,455 --> 00:27:05,456
Anyone?
471
00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:07,659
I'm here.
472
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,163
I can accept resignations,
live and in person.
473
00:27:17,635 --> 00:27:19,404
We all have something in common.
474
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:21,439
That's President Teddy Bridges.
475
00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:26,144
He picked all of us
to be a team. All of us.
476
00:27:26,878 --> 00:27:29,948
Now we can remain a team.
But it's up to you.
477
00:27:30,014 --> 00:27:32,317
Because I do not intend
to make any changes.
478
00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:35,053
So I ask again,
479
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,122
and please, follow the courage
of your convictions.
480
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:42,427
If you want out, you tell me now.
481
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,232
OK.
482
00:27:47,298 --> 00:27:49,834
Oh. It's, uh...
483
00:27:51,135 --> 00:27:53,137
...very, uh, pink.
484
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:56,274
- Yes.
- Mm-hm.
485
00:27:56,341 --> 00:28:00,278
Well, Mrs. Clinton
had her office in the West Wing.
486
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:02,680
That didn't go over very well.
487
00:28:02,747 --> 00:28:06,718
I think staying here like a traditional
first lady is a splendid idea.
488
00:28:06,784 --> 00:28:09,254
Well, this'll...
This'll be fine, I suppose.
489
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,388
Good.
490
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:13,825
After the funeral we'll discuss
what kind of staff you'll be needing.
491
00:28:13,892 --> 00:28:16,127
Do you think it'll be more than 20?
492
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:19,397
Mrs. Clinton had 20.
493
00:28:19,464 --> 00:28:21,399
That didn't go over very well.
494
00:28:21,466 --> 00:28:25,103
Folks on the Hill thought it was,
you know, a waste of tax dollars.
495
00:28:25,169 --> 00:28:29,240
I think that we should maybe wait until
the president has delivered her speech.
496
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:32,310
Oh, is she giving a speech?
497
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,779
Yes, uh, to the Congress.
498
00:28:34,846 --> 00:28:37,248
- We're working on it, so...
- Really?
499
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:40,585
Are you going to be involving
yourself in matters like that?
500
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,490
I need to see the Nigerian ambassador
with the JCS.
501
00:28:45,556 --> 00:28:47,926
- When? Today?
- Today. As soon as possible.
502
00:28:47,992 --> 00:28:49,294
The Nigerians need to know
503
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,330
that I continue to take the release
of Oria Madula seriously.
504
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,533
That this was not some “go away”
mission for the vice president.
505
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,536
Oh, I asked the Army
chief of staff a few weeks ago
506
00:28:58,603 --> 00:29:00,638
to work up an extraction plan
for Madula.
507
00:29:00,705 --> 00:29:02,840
I'd like to see that.
508
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,276
- OK?
- Done.
509
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:08,012
[sighs]
510
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:09,914
Are you OK?
511
00:29:09,981 --> 00:29:11,649
Yeah.
512
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:15,920
What I said in there,
that applies to you as well.
513
00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:17,855
I don't follow.
514
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:20,591
I want you to be my chief of staff.
515
00:29:23,127 --> 00:29:25,563
I know. It's the last thing
you expected to hear.
516
00:29:25,630 --> 00:29:29,467
But you've run this place for over
two years. You know what you're doing.
517
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,571
These are emotional times for all of us.
518
00:29:34,405 --> 00:29:35,873
I need your wisdom.
519
00:29:37,875 --> 00:29:39,410
I know we don't agree on a lot,
520
00:29:39,477 --> 00:29:43,948
but... I promise you,
I will listen to you.
521
00:29:45,483 --> 00:29:48,353
This is... rather unexpected.
522
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:50,488
[exhales] What isn't these days?
523
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:53,591
Have you talked to your husband
about this? What does Rod...?
524
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:56,027
Um, I'll find the appropriate time
to tell him.
525
00:29:56,094 --> 00:29:57,595
Do you want me to talk to him?
526
00:29:57,662 --> 00:30:00,298
Oh, God, no. No. You can't imagine...
527
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:03,434
Um... No. He'll be disappointed.
528
00:30:03,501 --> 00:30:06,404
But, uh, he knows that,
as the first female president,
529
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:10,274
I can't have it seem like
my husband is running the country.
530
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:14,479
I'm sure he's gonna have
his hands full with his new duties.
531
00:30:14,545 --> 00:30:17,815
[Nora] Attention, everyone,
can you stop the work for a moment.
532
00:30:17,882 --> 00:30:21,119
Just wanna make some introductions.
This is Mark. He's our primary.
533
00:30:21,185 --> 00:30:22,854
- Hi, Mark.
- It's a pleasure, sir.
534
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,523
Mark, I'm sure you have a lot
of questions for FLOTUS.
535
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:28,426
- First gentleman.
- So sad about the president.
536
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:29,927
Yes, very.
537
00:30:29,994 --> 00:30:33,731
I assume we will be meeting daily
to discuss the menu?
538
00:30:33,798 --> 00:30:36,167
Uh, well, uh, that's not
really my style, Mark.
539
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:39,237
Actually, the first lady does
have quite a bit of involvement
540
00:30:39,303 --> 00:30:41,139
in the meal preparation.
541
00:30:41,205 --> 00:30:43,841
There was Mrs. Clinton,
of course, she shunned that,
542
00:30:43,908 --> 00:30:45,977
made the staff guess.
Didn't go over well.
543
00:30:46,044 --> 00:30:48,913
Tonight, um, before the speech,
something light perhaps.
544
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,482
- A salad, I suppose.
- That'd be fine.
545
00:30:51,549 --> 00:30:55,386
And what salad dressing
does the president prefer?
546
00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:57,555
[sighs] Man.
547
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,127
Hello, Mac.
548
00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:07,732
Grace. I'm so sorry.
549
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:13,171
He was gorging on the
great generals of World War II.
550
00:31:15,973 --> 00:31:17,375
[exhales]
551
00:31:17,975 --> 00:31:21,345
It happened just... like that.
552
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,683
He was going to ask you to resign.
553
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:28,453
He did.
554
00:31:30,621 --> 00:31:32,457
And yet, here you stand,
555
00:31:32,523 --> 00:31:35,426
ready to address the nation
in 90 minutes as its president.
556
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:43,000
Well, I hope it's the best damn speech
those little bastards ever heard.
557
00:31:47,004 --> 00:31:49,907
You honor him, Mac.
Honor him well.
558
00:31:49,974 --> 00:31:51,375
You bet I will.
559
00:31:54,312 --> 00:31:58,616
So, what happens now?
I guess I move out, right?
560
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:05,990
You know, we've never
actually owned a home.
561
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:07,758
Hmm.
562
00:32:07,825 --> 00:32:11,028
We moved into the governor's mansion
when he was 30.
563
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,999
We were there for 16 years. Then
the Observatory for four and now here.
564
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:20,104
Hmm. Well, you take
all the time you need.
565
00:32:20,171 --> 00:32:21,839
Obviously, you and Tommy.
566
00:32:23,474 --> 00:32:27,078
Mac, you're the first female president.
567
00:32:27,145 --> 00:32:30,848
If Moses had been a woman,
leading the Jews in the desert,
568
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:33,251
she'd have stopped
and asked for directions.
569
00:32:33,317 --> 00:32:36,420
They'd have been in Israel in a week.
570
00:32:37,688 --> 00:32:39,924
- Manute.
- Madam President.
571
00:32:39,991 --> 00:32:41,325
- Jim.
- Manute.
572
00:32:41,392 --> 00:32:43,861
Allow me to express
our sincere condolences.
573
00:32:43,928 --> 00:32:46,664
Thank you. I don't have much time.
574
00:32:46,731 --> 00:32:50,368
We must continue to insist
that the United States does not...
575
00:32:50,434 --> 00:32:52,036
...interfere...
576
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:53,704
Sorry, what was that?
577
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,042
Gentlemen.
578
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:00,845
- General Pollack.
- Yes, ma'am.
579
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:04,849
Explain to the ambassador the means
by which we will extricate Oria Madula.
580
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:06,050
Yes, ma'am.
581
00:33:06,117 --> 00:33:08,319
Last night, on President Allen's orders,
582
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,321
we moved the USS Tarawa.
583
00:33:10,388 --> 00:33:13,624
She's the flagship of the
Amphibious Readiness Group.
584
00:33:13,691 --> 00:33:16,527
In half an hour we'll be able
to send an advance team
585
00:33:16,594 --> 00:33:19,030
of six Cobras to soften your defenses,
586
00:33:19,096 --> 00:33:22,533
which will be followed
by a Huey command helicopter.
587
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,337
After that, we will
send in two CH-46 helicopters
588
00:33:26,404 --> 00:33:28,406
with an extraction team.
589
00:33:28,472 --> 00:33:33,110
We'll remove Oria Madula
and fly her to free soil.
590
00:33:34,011 --> 00:33:37,648
By the way,
we're pretty good at this sort of thing.
591
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:40,618
There should be... limited loss of life.
592
00:33:43,321 --> 00:33:47,225
I don't believe the USA
would take such unilateral action.
593
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:51,162
You're a good guy. You really are.
594
00:33:51,229 --> 00:33:53,864
But I can't take a chance
that my becoming president
595
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:56,000
will speed Oria Madula's execution.
596
00:33:57,235 --> 00:33:59,804
And if you think
that I am gonna stand by
597
00:33:59,870 --> 00:34:02,306
and watch a young woman be executed,
598
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:06,811
tortured, for having sex,
you are sorely mistaken.
599
00:34:12,917 --> 00:34:14,652
I will call the prime minister.
600
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:28,699
All right.
I'll tell you what I resent, OK?
601
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:29,867
OK.
602
00:34:30,768 --> 00:34:34,505
I, uh, resent that...
you knew this all along,
603
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:36,540
- and that you let me...
- No...
604
00:34:36,607 --> 00:34:38,743
No, no let me finish.
605
00:34:38,809 --> 00:34:40,611
That you were gonna do this all along
606
00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:44,548
and you let me behave
like an ass in front of Jim.
607
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:48,019
I mean, thanking him
for his service to this country.
608
00:34:50,554 --> 00:34:51,989
I'm so humiliated.
609
00:34:52,923 --> 00:34:55,126
- Rod, come on. You don't...
- "Come on"?
610
00:34:55,192 --> 00:34:56,861
Honey, honey. Listen. Listen.
611
00:34:56,927 --> 00:35:01,165
The only way this has ever worked
is when we've walked side by side.
612
00:35:01,232 --> 00:35:04,302
- And I want to be there for you.
- You will be.
613
00:35:04,368 --> 00:35:06,404
As chief of staff.
614
00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:10,007
You are the most important man
in my life. I swear to you…
615
00:35:10,074 --> 00:35:13,311
It's OK. It's OK.
616
00:35:13,377 --> 00:35:16,147
We gotta go. We do.
617
00:35:21,252 --> 00:35:23,154
[rock music on TV]
618
00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:25,022
Hey.
619
00:35:25,089 --> 00:35:29,060
- We're leaving in, like, ten minutes.
- Yeah, I know. Uh... I'm not going.
620
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,563
- You're joking, right?
- No, I'm not feeling well.
621
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:34,865
What are you doing?
622
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:37,568
I just told you, OK?
I'm not feeling well.
623
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:39,503
- [mutes TV]
- Hey.
624
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:42,873
Look, I know girls and their moms
are supposed to have their troubles.
625
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,942
If you don't go, you guys won't recover.
626
00:35:45,009 --> 00:35:46,277
- You know what?
- What?
627
00:35:46,344 --> 00:35:48,145
I just don't wanna go, OK?
628
00:35:48,212 --> 00:35:51,349
Mom says not to be a hypocrite.
All right. Fine. I won't be.
629
00:35:51,415 --> 00:35:54,585
Hey, look. You get to be
John-John and I'll be Patti Davis.
630
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:59,090
If you don't come,
that's all that‘s gonna be on her mind.
631
00:35:59,156 --> 00:36:01,525
Do you want to be responsible for that?
632
00:36:01,592 --> 00:36:03,928
Have a sense of history.
633
00:36:05,930 --> 00:36:09,233
[departing footsteps, door closes]
634
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:12,103
[sirens wail]
635
00:36:13,471 --> 00:36:16,907
[Mac] The word “legacy”
would work better than “foundation.”
636
00:36:16,974 --> 00:36:18,976
- I don't see why not.
- [telephone rings]
637
00:36:22,446 --> 00:36:24,582
- [girl] Mommy? When you were young,
- Yeah?
638
00:36:24,648 --> 00:36:26,484
did you ever get a time out?
639
00:36:26,550 --> 00:36:28,986
Only about a hundred million times.
640
00:36:29,053 --> 00:36:30,788
OK, that's real good.
641
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,257
- We've got Kharkov scheduled.
- OK, good.
642
00:36:33,324 --> 00:36:37,094
- What'd you get a time out for?
- Honey, Mommy's got to concentrate now.
643
00:36:37,161 --> 00:36:40,398
- She's got an important speech to give.
- Interrupting my parents.
644
00:36:41,365 --> 00:36:43,467
- Amy! Dammit!
- Sorry.
645
00:36:44,668 --> 00:36:47,304
- Here. Here.
- I'm sorry.
646
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:49,140
You have got to be much more careful.
647
00:36:49,206 --> 00:36:51,342
- [Amy] I didn't mean it.
- It's OK, baby.
648
00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:54,445
[Rod] Unbelievable.
649
00:36:54,512 --> 00:36:57,481
Did you get wet too? It's all right.
650
00:36:57,548 --> 00:36:59,850
[Rod] No. You're not
gonna be able to wear that.
651
00:36:59,917 --> 00:37:01,852
Ma'am.
652
00:37:03,354 --> 00:37:05,589
- Wear this.
- [Mac] Yes.
653
00:37:05,656 --> 00:37:08,459
- [Mac] Thank you.
- [exhales]

from President Allen's first…

[speakers in various languages]
661
00:37:35,453 --> 00:37:37,021
Ready, ma'am.
662
00:37:38,556 --> 00:37:40,858
Go to Kelly, baby.
663
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:42,726
- Hi, Kelly.
- Hi, sweetie.
664
00:37:42,793 --> 00:37:44,295
[Rod] Mackenzie.
665
00:37:44,361 --> 00:37:46,530
- So, do you hate me?
- No.
666
00:37:47,264 --> 00:37:48,399
I love you.
667
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,504
Go win the country.
668
00:37:54,905 --> 00:37:56,307
[Mac chuckles]
669
00:38:07,084 --> 00:38:11,689
Mr. Speaker,
the president of the United States!
670
00:38:52,429 --> 00:38:54,632
Ladies and Gentleman of this Congress,
671
00:38:54,698 --> 00:38:58,769
honorable justices of the Supreme Court,
members of my cabinet,
672
00:38:58,836 --> 00:39:01,872
distinguished guests,
to the American people
673
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,775
and to our friends around
the world who are watching now:
674
00:39:04,842 --> 00:39:08,279
Let me offer the clarity
of my conviction.
675
00:39:08,345 --> 00:39:09,980
The White House…
676
00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:32,903
The White House
was where President Bridges lived,
677
00:39:32,970 --> 00:39:35,839
but it was not his home,
nor is it my home now.
678
00:39:35,906 --> 00:39:38,842
It is the home of the presidency.
679
00:39:38,909 --> 00:39:40,811
The home of American democracy.
680
00:39:41,879 --> 00:39:44,949
And though President Bridges'
agenda must be respected,
681
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:49,653
my task is not
to fulfill the legacy of a man.
682
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:54,158
I have been entrusted
with continuing the legacy of a nation,
683
00:39:54,224 --> 00:39:56,527
and what is best in it.
684
00:39:56,594 --> 00:39:59,630
A nation whose magnificent
and righteous history
685
00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:01,665
will govern its future.
686
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:06,270
A cloud hangs over us.
It's a cloud of mourning,
687
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:07,905
of uncertainty.
688
00:40:07,972 --> 00:40:11,041
And though that cloud
may cover the sun temporarily,
689
00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:13,377
it cannot extinguish it.
690
00:40:13,444 --> 00:40:18,349
That sun,
like our freedom and democracy,
691
00:40:18,415 --> 00:40:20,417
will not go away.
692
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:25,022
Resilience is what
defines our character.
693
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:27,725
And the character
of any nation is judged
694
00:40:27,791 --> 00:40:30,861
not by its leaders, but by its people.
695
00:40:30,928 --> 00:40:33,931
The people, like that sun,
696
00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:35,933
are what is constant.
697
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,503
And so I say
to the people of this nation,
698
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:42,940
I am humbled by your greatness.
699
00:40:43,007 --> 00:40:45,509
I am humbled by the history
being made here today,
700
00:40:45,576 --> 00:40:48,112
humbled by the notion
701
00:40:48,178 --> 00:40:51,682
that I am the first woman
to hold this office.
702
00:40:51,749 --> 00:40:56,320
I'm humbled by the
responsibilities that rest with me.
703
00:40:57,421 --> 00:41:00,658
I promise to vigorously
defend our Constitution.
704
00:41:01,358 --> 00:41:03,994
I will recognize, as Harry Truman said,
705
00:41:04,061 --> 00:41:07,097
that the responsibility of a great state
706
00:41:07,164 --> 00:41:10,701
is to serve the world,
not to dominate it.
707
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,671
And it is clear that
human rights is not an issue
708
00:41:13,737 --> 00:41:18,942
for just the free world,
but it is, nonetheless,
709
00:41:19,009 --> 00:41:22,513
the responsibility of a free people.
710
00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:27,951
God knows you and I have
shed tears these past days.
711
00:41:28,018 --> 00:41:31,722
And more tears are to come.
712
00:41:31,789 --> 00:41:34,425
But soon, we must return to the future.
713
00:41:34,491 --> 00:41:37,561
And I will do my best to take you there.
714
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:40,431
I am with you.
715
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,035
I ask this Congress,
716
00:41:45,769 --> 00:41:48,706
I ask the Court, I ask my cabinet,
717
00:41:48,772 --> 00:41:53,777
I ask the people of the United States
to stand with me now, unwavering.
718
00:41:53,844 --> 00:41:56,280
For in this house united,
719
00:41:56,346 --> 00:41:59,583
we will demonstrate
our sovereignty of greatness.
720
00:42:02,252 --> 00:42:04,321
God bless Theodore Roosevelt Bridges.
721
00:42:04,388 --> 00:42:08,892
May his soul rest...
with the greatest of men.
722
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:13,430
And God bless the
United States of America. Thank you.
723
00:42:27,945 --> 00:42:29,413
Whoo!
724
00:42:32,416 --> 00:42:34,585
I'll always be right behind you.
