Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:01,710
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:01,793 --> 00:00:05,130
- [woman] The president had a stroke.
- Do I take the oath?
3
00:00:05,214 --> 00:00:07,341
Madam Vice President.
We need you to resign.
4
00:00:07,424 --> 00:00:10,093
I'm gonna go out
and I'm gonna take the oath of office.
5
00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:12,095
The president of the United States!
6
00:00:12,262 --> 00:00:14,973
[Rod] You have a country
full of people who believe in you.
7
00:00:15,057 --> 00:00:18,352
Those are the nominees I can
guarantee I can get through Congress.
8
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:20,312
I want you to be my chief of staff.
9
00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:23,357
They don't see me as a spouse.
They see me as an advisor.
10
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:25,692
Do yourself a favor, Rod.
Stay in your lane.
11
00:00:25,776 --> 00:00:28,070
- I went to public school.
- So I have to go too.
12
00:00:28,904 --> 00:00:31,073
Templeton's not choosing
my vice president.
13
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:33,200
- She's picked somebody.
- Warren Keaton.
14
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:37,079
- What's going on, Jayne?
- Mackenzie Allen needs to show respect.
15
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:39,267
If you want a man
who's worth a damn in this job,
16
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:42,000
you gotta make this job worth a damn.
17
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:44,962
He won't be confirmed.
Not with what I know.
18
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:50,050
[man] With all due respect, this visit
is not a negotiation with the Russians.
19
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:54,096
It's a pre-approved package, a photo op.
A goodwill tea party with the Russians.
20
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:56,575
No items on the table
that haven't been agreed to.
21
00:00:56,682 --> 00:00:59,893
Implicit in a State Visit's
the idea that the pact's been signed.
22
00:00:59,977 --> 00:01:03,730
But by the previous administration.
I have yet to weigh in on any issues...
23
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:06,483
Can't take the chance
of derailing your first summit.
24
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:10,028
- It's too public a venue for missteps.
- I wasn't planning on making any.
25
00:01:10,112 --> 00:01:12,072
- I'm simply asking.
- Kharkov is not the guy
26
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:14,866
you want to talk to about
jailed dissident journalists.
27
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:17,244
Ma'am, the truth
is our nascent administration
28
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:21,164
- needs the win more than his does.
- All right. Big day tomorrow.
29
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:24,002
Let's all try to get some rest.
Thank you.
30
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:26,753
I had the Russia desk
translate a few phrases for you.
31
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:28,422
- Thank you.
- Good luck tomorrow.
32
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:29,798
[Mac] Thank you.
33
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:34,261
For a second, I thought I was
being handed a script to read from.
34
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:37,014
Increases in natural gas production.
35
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,960
Forward movement on the
Russian-American space station.
36
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,227
We're accomplishing
some big things here.
37
00:01:42,311 --> 00:01:44,438
Yet human rights
still don't make the list.
38
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:46,315
Not this time.
39
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:50,193
- [man] Madam President.
- Thank you.
40
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:54,114
- Hey.
- Oh, good for you.
41
00:01:54,197 --> 00:01:57,826
Teddy's head never even hit the pillow
the night before his first State Visit.
42
00:01:58,035 --> 00:01:59,119
Hmm.
43
00:01:59,202 --> 00:02:02,122
He spent half the night
practicing his salute in the mirror.
44
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:04,958
[chuckles] President Bridges
always seemed like a rock.
45
00:02:05,042 --> 00:02:06,960
It's funny to think of him as nervous.
46
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:09,546
Don't worry.
You're gonna be wonderful tomorrow.
47
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:13,634
- [Mac] Thank you.
- Or rather, today.
48
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:15,802
- Good night.
- Good night.
49
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:19,598
So my chief of staff won't
even discuss bringing up the
50
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:22,184
- dissident journalists with Kharkov.
- Mm-hm.
51
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:26,229
He's just... You know, he shuts me down
every time. Just starts lecturing me.
52
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:28,106
Oh, lectures.
53
00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:30,734
Lectures are bad.
54
00:02:32,611 --> 00:02:34,905
- Right?
- Hmm.
55
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:42,954
Get to bed.
56
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:50,420
You just gotta learn
to turn off your mind.
57
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:52,297
- Mmm…
- Uh-huh...
58
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:54,216
[both chuckle]
59
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:58,220
You can't claim to have a free society
if you don't have a free press.
60
00:02:58,303 --> 00:03:00,305
- [Rod] No...
- Mmm...
61
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:06,561
[Amy screaming] Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy!
62
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:08,355
- [Amy] Mommy!
- I'm coming!
63
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:10,691
- [Rod] Honey, you OK?
- Baby, it's OK.
64
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:12,109
You're having a bad dream.
65
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,861
It's OK. Oh… What happened?
66
00:03:14,945 --> 00:03:16,488
[crying] I couldn't find you.
67
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:19,658
I was looking all over for you
and I couldn't find you.
68
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:22,619
OK. Well, I'm here now.
I'm here. Mommy's here. Baby.
69
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:23,704
[Amy screams]
70
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:27,791
- Everything all right, ma'am?
- She had a nightmare.
71
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:29,876
- Go. Go.
- [Mac] She's OK.
72
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,503
[man] Sorry, sir.
73
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,677
My eggs are overcooked.
74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,556
- I like the yolks runny. Yours OK?
- Perfect.
75
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,392
[waiter] I'll remind the chef.
76
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:47,602
Stay out of trouble last night?
77
00:03:47,686 --> 00:03:50,188
Yeah, it was fine. I had dinner at…
78
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:51,606
Oh, completely forgot.
79
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:54,067
I ran into General Keaton
last night at The Palm.
80
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:55,652
You what?
81
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:59,573
Did her esteemed vice-presidential
candidate have anything to say?
82
00:03:59,656 --> 00:04:02,492
Said he was looking forward
to the confirmation hearing.
83
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,953
Wondered if you'd
send the questions in advance.
84
00:04:05,036 --> 00:04:07,122
[laughing] The wanker.
85
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:09,916
- What'd you tell him?
- I said he was wearing a nice tie.
86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,003
He was the toast of the room last night.
He and his wife.
87
00:04:14,004 --> 00:04:16,089
You have to pick up
the NSA in 20 minutes.
88
00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:17,382
Yeah.
89
00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:21,344
It's going to be a challenging day
for our president.
90
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:24,556
I think by the end of it
she may well wish
91
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,809
that she were back running her school.
92
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:32,314
Good morning. Got some fresh
chocolate-chip muffins for you today.
93
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,816
Sam, what are you doing to me?
94
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,110
You know I have a gown
to fit into tonight.
95
00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:39,321
Have you seen
Amy's subtraction workbook?
96
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:41,948
Uh… I saw it under
the portrait of Coolidge.
97
00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:44,868
- You seen this?
- What?
98
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,947
- Op-ed piece.
- The Times?
99
00:04:47,072 --> 00:04:47,954
Post.
100
00:04:48,038 --> 00:04:48,997
Hey!
101
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:52,167
Hey, I'm the president.
Go get yourself another muffin.
102
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:55,462
Yeah, there's something
like that in The Times too.
103
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:59,549
I know. Thank you, Sam.
They're all the same.
104
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:01,635
Will I be able to handle the summit,
105
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:05,514
whether I'll confront Kharkov on his
country's retreat from civil liberties.
106
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:07,766
Hey, Horace.
Have you seen my biology book?
107
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:09,726
- I don't know.
- Look under Coolidge.
108
00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:12,479
Good morning.
109
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:15,816
Wanna make sure we're up to speed
for the state dinner this evening.
110
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:17,943
Wait, that state dinner thing's tonight?
111
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:20,278
- [Nora] Yes. Very exciting, isn't it?
- [scoffs]
112
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:21,446
- Bye, Daddy.
- Bye.
113
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,156
- Bye, baby.
- See ya.
114
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:26,368
- Come on, guys.
- Becca. What? No goodbye?
115
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,119
Bye.
116
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,914
Madam President. Mr. Calloway.
117
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:34,334
- Big day. Big, big day.
- I can hardly wait.
118
00:05:34,543 --> 00:05:37,003
[Nora] I wanted you to know
the white delphinium tapers
119
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:39,653
have finally been located
for this evening.
120
00:05:39,923 --> 00:05:41,628
- U.S. Postal Service.
- [Rod grunts]
121
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:44,553
Well, I can't believe
I have to play tour guide all day.
122
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:48,682
Have you, uh, have you seen
a picture of Mrs. Kharkova?
123
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:50,851
- Yes, I have.
- I think you can handle it.
124
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:52,519
She's no Mackenzie Allen.
125
00:05:58,191 --> 00:05:59,776
Nathan.
126
00:06:01,903 --> 00:06:03,738
I haven't seen you since the funeral.
127
00:06:03,822 --> 00:06:06,533
- You OK?
- I still can't believe it.
128
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:09,786
That he's dead or that she had
the balls to take the oath of office?
129
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:13,415
She defied the dying wishes
of a great man.
130
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:16,418
- It's unforgivable.
- Damn right.
131
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:18,128
Wolfie, I'm gonna run.
132
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,715
I'm gonna run for president. I have to.
133
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:23,133
And I'm gonna win.
134
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,678
- If it's against her...
- [chuckling] It'll be against her.
135
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:29,514
Oh, yeah. I guarantee you that.
136
00:06:29,598 --> 00:06:31,474
[Nathan] She'll run as an Independent.
137
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:34,060
And do you know how many
states she's going to carry?
138
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:36,897
Her home state, maybe, Connecticut...
139
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,149
She's not gonna carry a state.
Nary a one.
140
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:42,193
No, I'm gonna be president.
141
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:45,614
And I want you with me.
142
00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:48,034
As my national security advisor.
143
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:52,037
Temp, I don't know what to say.
144
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:54,998
How about, "Bloody hell, yeah."
145
00:06:55,665 --> 00:06:57,292
Well, then…
146
00:06:57,876 --> 00:07:00,837
- Bloody hell, yeah.
- [Nate chuckles]
147
00:07:00,921 --> 00:07:03,882
Wolfie, I need you to resign.
148
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,634
Today. Now.
149
00:07:08,637 --> 00:07:11,014
Shouldn't we wait
till at least after the summit?
150
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:14,309
You can serve two years with her,
if you want.
151
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:16,436
Or eight years with me.
152
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,397
You choose the horse you want to back.
153
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:23,652
Your resignation has
to be tendered within the hour.
154
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,741
Madam President, remember
to allow us an adjustment in your heels
155
00:07:29,824 --> 00:07:31,451
so they don't engage the grass...
156
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:34,621
Keep Kharkov on your right
so the stills have a clean shot of you
157
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:36,289
- inspecting your troops...
- OK.
158
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:38,124
Oh, and sir, protocol dictates
159
00:07:38,208 --> 00:07:41,169
that you kiss both
Mrs. Kharkova's cheeks in greeting.
160
00:07:41,252 --> 00:07:44,381
- Do I? Should I?
- Oh, no, ma'am. Just a handshake.
161
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:47,425
We have covered
every potential scenario.
162
00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:49,552
Not every scenario, Madam President.
163
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:51,805
- Excuse us, Nora.
- Oh, of course, Jim.
164
00:07:51,888 --> 00:07:53,848
Roman Wolfe called a press conference.
165
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:56,476
Roman Wolfe? Why?
166
00:07:56,559 --> 00:08:00,313
Evidently his resignation letter
is waiting on your desk.
167
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:03,566
Mm-hm.
168
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:09,322
- [inhaling deeply] OK.
- Give us a moment, Jim.
169
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:11,992
Of course.
170
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:17,455
What do you think it says
when a member of my cabinet
171
00:08:17,539 --> 00:08:21,793
- quits on the day of my first summit?
- Oh, forget Wolfe. He doesn't matter.
172
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:24,254
Right now,
this is about President Kharkov.
173
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:27,132
It's about you.
It's about making history.
174
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:30,719
Right now, you become this country.
175
00:08:32,262 --> 00:08:34,848
You're the United States of America.
176
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:40,353
- OK. Let's do it.
- Mm-hm.
177
00:08:40,437 --> 00:08:43,857
[♪ Hail to the Chief]
178
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,401
[guards] Ten-hut!
179
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,864
[man] Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of the United States.
180
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:04,544
[hip-hop music plays]
181
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,141
[indistinct chatter]
182
00:09:22,312 --> 00:09:25,398
Hey. Um, I think you…
183
00:09:26,357 --> 00:09:28,193
Yeah, you were in my dream last night.
184
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:30,153
- I'm... Almost for sure.
- Oh, yeah?
185
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:33,656
- What was I doing, Jenny?
- I can't remember.
186
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,243
But I'm pretty sure you were
wearing that shirt you have with the,
187
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:41,331
uh, little red stripes.
We call it your candy cane shirt.
188
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:44,250
Wait. You have a nickname for my shirt?
189
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:46,795
Anyway...
190
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:55,512
Man, she is so into you.
191
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:58,348
Whatever, man. I like her.
192
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:01,643
You know you don't have to like her,
Horace. Any of ‘em.
193
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,563
- Gimme the ball.
- See? You got the perfect setup.
194
00:10:05,772 --> 00:10:08,483
- Come on.
- No, dude. You're the president's son.
195
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,944
Every girl in our school
wants to lose it to you.
196
00:10:11,127 --> 00:10:12,545
- Not true.
- 'Course it is.
197
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,614
Makes a great story
when she's old and fat
198
00:10:14,697 --> 00:10:17,784
and has nothing else in her life
but a bunch of high school memories.
199
00:10:17,992 --> 00:10:20,954
Horace! You took my biology book
and it had my homework in it.
200
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:22,914
I had to take an incomplete. Thanks.
201
00:10:22,997 --> 00:10:26,953
No problem, I have bio next period. I'll
explain to Mrs. Hedison what happened.
202
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:28,461
Hedison's a complete bitch.
203
00:10:28,545 --> 00:10:31,673
- Plus, she's got full-on BO.
- [chuckling] Totally.
204
00:10:31,756 --> 00:10:34,300
Gimme the ball, Flemming.
205
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:38,012
Hey, Rebecca,
since Horace has never asked me...
206
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:39,931
I don't know...
207
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:43,685
Are you guys, like, allowed to have
guests over to the White House?
208
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,563
Yeah. I can do whatever I want.
209
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:50,608
Well, I'm free tonight.
210
00:10:53,945 --> 00:10:57,240
[Mac] I'd like to welcome President
Kharkov back to the United States.
211
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:03,663
Perhaps I'll finally be able to beat one
American president in a round of golf.
212
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:07,500
- [crowd laughing]
- Well, I have a pretty good short game.
213
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:10,253
Welcome.
214
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:12,505
[man] Madam President,
215
00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:15,633
as vice president you were
very vocal about President Kharkov
216
00:11:15,717 --> 00:11:18,428
and his government's crackdown
on democratic liberties.
217
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:21,598
Where would I be without
you guys to remind me of my words?
218
00:11:22,307 --> 00:11:25,977
We have a very full agenda
of matters to discuss, privately.
219
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:28,688
- [whispering] Get them out of here.
- Thank you.
220
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:31,357
You'll have opportunities
at the press conference.
221
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:34,652
What's it say about your
ability to lead, Madam President,
222
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:37,822
when your security advisor
resigns on such an important day?
223
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:41,367
The issue at hand
isn't this woman's ability to lead,
224
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:44,495
but of her security advisor's
willingness to follow.
225
00:11:44,579 --> 00:11:47,624
[Kelly] OK. Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
226
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:49,751
That was great.
227
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:52,253
Kharkov totally covered
for the president there.
228
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:54,923
- He shut that question down.
- What? It was a disaster.
229
00:11:55,006 --> 00:11:58,092
He called her a woman.
She isn't a woman. She is a president.
230
00:11:58,843 --> 00:12:00,511
She's not a woman?
231
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:06,434
Look, Alex. Every world leader is
watching this summit looking for clues,
232
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:09,187
gestures. Whatever signals
they can read to figure out
233
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:12,774
what kind of president
Mackenzie Allen is, besides female.
234
00:12:14,484 --> 00:12:18,446
[Rod] Mrs. Benjamin Harrison
started the collection of china.
235
00:12:18,655 --> 00:12:22,283
I especially like this
rococo revival punch bowl
236
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,244
from the Pierce administration.
237
00:12:24,327 --> 00:12:28,831
Mrs. Harrison actually found
this bowl in the, uh, White House attic
238
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:33,461
and had it mended
and then put on display.
239
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,256
Ever wonder how it came to be broken?
240
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,803
Well, maybe the, uh, punch was spiked.
241
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:46,724
Oh, so one night, your President Pierce
had too much to drink...
242
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:51,688
And suddenly, a presidential mistake
became a national treasure.
243
00:12:54,691 --> 00:12:58,695
But in the end, I feel that I can
no longer be of efficient service
244
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:01,739
to this country, or to this president.
245
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:05,201
[reporter] Is there an
inciting incident to this resignation?
246
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:07,078
- [intercom beeping]
- [Roman] No...
247
00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:10,290
- Yeah.
- [woman] Secretary of interior's here.
248
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:12,458
[reporter] Did the president ask you...?
249
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:14,836
Hold him for two minutes,
then send him in.
250
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:16,129
[Roman] I had a meeting…
251
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:18,298
- Send me in some coffee, please.
- Yes, sir.
252
00:13:18,381 --> 00:13:21,301
[reporter] How'd the president
react to your resignation?
253
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:24,595
That is between the president and me.
254
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,891
So we're not going to proceed with
the sale of nuclear fuel to Būshehr...
255
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:32,812
Until the Iranians have met
all their international obligations.
256
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:35,440
And satisfy the community
that they have abandoned
257
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:38,568
- their nuclear weapons program.
- [man] Next.
258
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:41,988
Regarding Russia's entry
into the World Trade Organization.
259
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:45,325
There's no real update there.
You know that's up to the WTO.
260
00:13:45,408 --> 00:13:47,076
That remains beyond our purview.
261
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,707
We'll revisit that item. Let's move on.
262
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:55,585
Did you know there are 132 rooms
in the White House?
263
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:59,589
Yes. But did you also know
there are 16 refrigerators?
264
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:02,300
Now, technically,
we're not even supposed to be
265
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:04,469
in the Cabinet Room
without the president.
266
00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:06,512
But I think we're
gonna get away with it.
267
00:14:06,596 --> 00:14:07,930
[both chuckle]
268
00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:11,476
- You used to be her chief of staff.
- [Rod murmurs]
269
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,187
How are you finding your new position?
270
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:17,023
Well, I'm not sure that
I would call it a, uh, position.
271
00:14:17,106 --> 00:14:21,319
[chuckles] It's just that I used to be,
uh, so much more than a spouse.
272
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:23,446
Oh, yes. Me too.
273
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:26,616
[whispering] Mrs. Kharkova, um...
274
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,118
Before this,
you were a well-respected attorney.
275
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:31,788
[Rod] So tell me the truth.
276
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:35,124
Don't you feel that this job
is just a little limiting?
277
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:42,840
[whispering] That is only the job,
if that's what you make of the job.
278
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:48,054
[man] Item seven on the agenda.
Sturgeon hatcheries on the Volga River.
279
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:51,057
- Which we thought might...
- Mr. President, if I may.
280
00:14:51,516 --> 00:14:54,727
I wonder if we could table
the discussion of caviar, for now,
281
00:14:54,811 --> 00:14:57,146
and move on to some
of the more pressing issues.
282
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:04,404
Madam President, surely
you can see how our staffs thought
283
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:07,907
a billion-dollar industry
warranted our full attention.
284
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:10,451
- And I don't disagree,
- [clearing throat]
285
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,246
However, there are
more urgent matters in our agenda.
286
00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:16,249
Months of preparation
with the previous administration
287
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:18,918
have produced a very thoughtful agenda.
288
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,754
One which should guide us,
rather than constrain us.
289
00:15:21,838 --> 00:15:24,257
- I'd prefer to go in order.
- I know you would...
290
00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:26,426
[Jim] This may be a
good time to take a break.
291
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:30,179
Give both sides a chance
to prepare for the press conference.
292
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,516
Lots of progress to report to the press.
293
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:38,312
- [Nora] Here we are.
- Hello.
294
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:43,317
It really makes them feel good
to see you down here, sir.
295
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,611
- Game day and all.
- My pleasure.
296
00:15:45,695 --> 00:15:47,780
Oh, you have to smell these roses.
297
00:15:47,864 --> 00:15:50,950
Yellow roses. Mrs. Kharkova's favorite.
298
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,661
- Did my homework.
- Ah...
299
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:57,540
[gasping] Hands! Hands!
The petals brown with fingerprints...
300
00:15:58,541 --> 00:16:00,376
- Hey, Dad.
- Hi, Rebecca.
301
00:16:01,085 --> 00:16:02,962
Um, hey, you have a sec?
302
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:07,133
- You smell that? It's nice, huh?
- Yes. Roses. Very, very nice.
303
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:09,385
Yellow roses. Over a thousand of them.
304
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:12,430
- For tonight's dinner.
- Yeah. About tonight's dinner.
305
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:14,682
- You're going.
- Dad, that's not fair.
306
00:16:14,765 --> 00:16:15,808
You're going.
307
00:16:15,892 --> 00:16:19,312
None of my friends have to go to
their parents' stupid business things.
308
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:22,982
I'm sorry. It's important
to your mother. Case closed.
309
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:27,028
[Rod] Nora.
310
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:28,279
[sighing]
311
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:33,326
How is the morning playing?
312
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:36,329
- Truthfully, not great.
- Roman Wolfe's resignation...
313
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:39,916
Will be below the fold, buried beneath
the success of today's summit.
314
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:42,126
- [Jim] Madam President.
- Jim.
315
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:45,588
- I know what you're going to say...
- No, you don't.
316
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:48,466
If you did, you wouldn't have tried
to handle me like that.
317
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:50,510
- I was trying to protect you.
- I'm gonna…
318
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:53,513
- I think that we should…
- Uh, you hang back, Kelly.
319
00:16:57,266 --> 00:16:58,601
We have a bigger problem.
320
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:02,271
A bigger problem than not having
the support of my chief of staff?
321
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,982
- Secretary Witherspoon's resigned.
- What?
322
00:17:05,066 --> 00:17:08,361
Charlie Witherspoon?
323
00:17:08,444 --> 00:17:12,782
Oh, what a town.
You can't even trust the backstabbers.
324
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:16,536
The national security advisor
and the secretary of the interior
325
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:20,248
both resign on the day of the summit.
What is going on here, Jim?
326
00:17:20,331 --> 00:17:23,376
- I have a theory.
- Probably the same theory I have.
327
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:26,587
Don't you think it's about time
you paid a visit to Capitol Hill?
328
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:28,548
Yes, ma'am.
329
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:33,970
- [door closing]
- [Rod] Charlie's here.
330
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:37,181
- Oh, hey, Charlie. Good to see you.
- Madam President.
331
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:40,101
- It's been what, a year?
- Yes, I think so.
332
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:44,063
So, uh, thank you for seeing me today.
333
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:47,233
Of course. What's up, Mr. Secretary?
What can I do for you?
334
00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:49,610
- Well...
- Charlie's been hearing some rumblings.
335
00:17:49,819 --> 00:17:51,153
- Oh?
- [dog whining]
336
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:54,574
Well, what with
the president's condition and all...
337
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:59,537
We're all well aware that Jim Gardner
and Melanie Blackston came to see you
338
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,998
to ask you to step down, and, uh...
339
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,250
Well, there's just been some talk.
340
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:09,755
The cabinet knows that you haven't
said yes and, uh, well, ma'am...
341
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:13,092
These guys can be,
uh, pretty Machiavellian.
342
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:14,135
I see.
343
00:18:14,218 --> 00:18:18,931
I just wanted you to know that,
for me, I'm at your service.
344
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:20,766
Good to know.
345
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:25,938
What I'm saying is, you know,
I could be your eyes and ears.
346
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:28,691
Let you know where
the knives are coming from.
347
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,568
There will be knives?
348
00:18:30,651 --> 00:18:32,612
- [dog barking]
- [Charlie] Yeah.
349
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:35,031
I, for one, would be
very much in support of you.
350
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,826
The Department of Interior would very
much welcome a woman's point of view.
351
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:43,247
Women are much more,
uh, environmentally friendly.
352
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:45,708
Well, we do tend
to pick up after ourselves.
353
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:51,130
- Uh-oh!
- [all laugh]
354
00:18:51,213 --> 00:18:55,968
OK, OK. Well, Charlie,
thank you for stopping by.
355
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:57,720
- Right.
- OK.
356
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:58,804
Bye, girl.
357
00:19:01,515 --> 00:19:03,643
Hey, Charlie, you really think
358
00:19:03,726 --> 00:19:06,437
a woman'd be better
for the Department of Interior?
359
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,773
Sure. Absolutely.
360
00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:12,401
Perhaps we should have
a woman running it then.
361
00:19:14,236 --> 00:19:15,446
Kidding.
362
00:19:15,529 --> 00:19:17,073
Ah...
363
00:19:20,117 --> 00:19:21,952
[Vince] Excuse me, ma'am. Ma'am?
364
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:24,955
- The press conference is set to begin.
- Thank you, Vince.
365
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,041
Uh, do me a favor.
366
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:30,795
I need a copy of Oliver Chitwood's
biography of John Tyler.
367
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:33,089
- President Tyler?
- Yeah. That's the guy.
368
00:19:35,925 --> 00:19:36,884
[Kelly sighs]
369
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:39,345
You know what's gonna
happen in there, don't you?
370
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:40,554
I'm afraid I do, ma'am.
371
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:44,558
They're gonna hit me with resignations.
The summit is gonna be secondary.
372
00:19:44,642 --> 00:19:46,852
You know, I can handle their questions.
373
00:19:46,936 --> 00:19:49,605
What I can't handle
is having to go in there
374
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:52,692
and pretend he's some sort of…
champion of democracy.
375
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,485
Maybe it's for the greater good?
376
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:57,154
That what the guys who
came before me told themselves?
377
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,239
Guess so.
378
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:02,243
[sighing] I just… I don't know.
379
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:05,454
I thought we were
gonna do things differently.
380
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,998
- [reporters clamoring]
- Next.
381
00:20:08,082 --> 00:20:11,252
Madam President. Can you comment
on today's cabinet resignations?
382
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:15,172
We're here to comment on the progress
made between our two nations. Next.
383
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,133
- [clamoring]
- Samantha.
384
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:20,219
Has there been a breakthrough
on the Caspian oil pipeline?
385
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:26,100
The pipeline agreement was the result
of negotiations with President Bridges.
386
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:29,603
Its completion will be
a testimony to his vision.
387
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:31,897
[clamoring]
388
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:36,152
Changing topics. President Allen, has
there been progress on civil liberties?
389
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:38,112
- Actually...
- Allow me.
390
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,216
- Of course.
- [Kharkov] Thank you.
391
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:42,992
The Russia of today
looks dramatically different
392
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:45,202
than the Russia of just ten years ago.
393
00:20:45,411 --> 00:20:49,165
However, each day brings new challenges.
394
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:51,917
Certainly President Allen knows that,
395
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:54,712
with the sudden loss
of her cabinet members.
396
00:20:55,588 --> 00:20:58,299
[all clamoring] Madam President!
397
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:07,641
Our leadership may change,
but our democratic principles do not.
398
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:11,604
What remains to be seen
is what President Kharkov,
399
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:13,272
a man who talks about democracy,
400
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:16,692
will do in a situation
that requires more than just talk.
401
00:21:17,568 --> 00:21:19,945
If it truly is time for change,
402
00:21:20,029 --> 00:21:24,492
then it is time to free the dissident
journalists jailed in your prisons,
403
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,870
- Mr. President.
- [reporters clamoring]
404
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:35,336
I don't even know why you're bothering
with Mom when Dad already said no.
405
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:39,298
If you wanna see Flemming so bad, why
don't you bring him to the state dinner?
406
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,467
The point is
to be alone with him, Horace.
407
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,094
I don't think you know
what you're getting into.
408
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:46,680
- You do not know Flemming like I do.
- Yeah, Horace.
409
00:21:46,764 --> 00:21:50,643
Just 'cause you're four minutes older
doesn't mean you have all the answers.
410
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:53,312
So, you just mind
your own business, OK?
411
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:54,647
I know what I'm doing.
412
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:57,775
No. You don't understand
what I'm trying to tell you...
413
00:21:57,858 --> 00:22:00,110
Today was the first day
that didn't suck for me
414
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:03,989
since we moved into this house.
So, please, just let me have this.
415
00:22:04,073 --> 00:22:05,991
- Hey, Horace. Hi, Rebecca.
- Hi, Vince.
416
00:22:06,075 --> 00:22:08,786
Hey, um, Vince. Is my mom, um, busy?
417
00:22:09,411 --> 00:22:12,832
She always has time for you.
I think she's in with Kelly. I'll check.
418
00:22:12,915 --> 00:22:14,500
Thanks.
419
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:17,586
I can't believe I took the bait.
420
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:20,923
- I should have just left it alone.
- Ma'am, it wasn't that bad.
421
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:24,051
We have no room for error here.
This is a very partisan town.
422
00:22:24,134 --> 00:22:26,595
It's not like I have
a lot of allies in either party.
423
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:29,515
- And it had to be said.
- Maybe just not so publicly.
424
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:32,101
Excuse me, ma'am.
Rebecca's here to see you.
425
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:34,520
Oh. Great. One second.
426
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:36,146
Thanks. We're done here, Kelly.
427
00:22:40,818 --> 00:22:43,654
- Hey, Rebecca. Hi, Horace.
- Oh, hey, Kelly, what's up?
428
00:22:43,737 --> 00:22:46,073
Uh… nothing. How you guys doing?
429
00:22:46,156 --> 00:22:48,492
Good. How's the,
uh, speechwriting coming?
430
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:51,370
- Good. See you guys later.
- OK.
431
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:53,998
- All right.
- Nice work.
432
00:22:54,081 --> 00:22:57,459
You know, she's been press secretary
for, like, two weeks now.
433
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:01,380
[phone ringing]
434
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:03,549
- Hey, you.
- Hey, Mom.
435
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:06,385
Oh… Nice to see a friendly face.
436
00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:11,140
Um, Mom, I had a question,
but, I mean, if you're busy...
437
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:12,766
- Oh, no.
- [Vince] Sorry, ma'am.
438
00:23:12,850 --> 00:23:14,894
It's the White House operator.
It's Nora.
439
00:23:14,977 --> 00:23:17,813
Uh, would you tell her to hold,
please? What is it?
440
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:22,234
Um, well, I was wondering if
I could skip this state dinner tonight?
441
00:23:22,318 --> 00:23:25,654
- Oh, Becca. I was hoping...
- Madam President.
442
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:27,907
Nora implied that it
was a matter of urgency.
443
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:29,742
Of course it is.
444
00:23:29,825 --> 00:23:35,122
It's just… I have to study
for this huge test, um, with a friend.
445
00:23:35,205 --> 00:23:37,333
- [Vince] Ma'am?
- [Mac] OK.
446
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:41,170
- [exhaling] Um, Mom...?
- I don't know, Becca.
447
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:44,506
You know? Why don't you
just follow your conscience?
448
00:23:47,593 --> 00:23:50,554
Vince. Any luck
on that John Tyler biography?
449
00:23:50,638 --> 00:23:53,849
- Did you find it yet?
- Uh, no, ma'am. We're still searching.
450
00:23:55,976 --> 00:23:57,269
What is it, Nora?
451
00:23:57,353 --> 00:23:59,188
Wait. Slow down.
452
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:03,484
What did they say exactly?
453
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:07,321
OK, just...
454
00:24:07,404 --> 00:24:10,616
Just keep this quiet
and continue business as usual.
455
00:24:10,699 --> 00:24:11,909
Thank you, Nora.
456
00:24:11,992 --> 00:24:13,410
[phone hanging up]
457
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:17,289
It seems the Russian president
has suddenly taken ill.
458
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:20,250
He's still coming
to the state dinner, right?
459
00:24:20,501 --> 00:24:22,378
I don't know.
460
00:24:22,586 --> 00:24:24,755
[Jim] What did you promise them, Nate?
461
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,591
- Is there anybody else?
- Yeah. Sure. Sure there is.
462
00:24:27,675 --> 00:24:29,885
- And who's that?
- Francis.
463
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:34,807
And not Francis Barnes at Agriculture.
Mills Francis at Defense.
464
00:24:34,890 --> 00:24:38,143
If Teddy were here to see what you
were doing, he'd have your head...
465
00:24:38,227 --> 00:24:41,355
If Teddy were alive to see this,
it wouldn't be necessary…
466
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,568
[sighing] Sit.
467
00:24:53,117 --> 00:24:55,452
Three resignations.
468
00:24:55,536 --> 00:24:59,623
And if you think that's embarrassing,
you just wait till you see what happens
469
00:24:59,707 --> 00:25:03,043
when she tries to get her nominees
for those positions confirmed.
470
00:25:03,127 --> 00:25:06,296
- Nate, we're trying...
- No, no. Come on, please.
471
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:10,342
You're not gonna touch me
with your self-righteous indignation.
472
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:13,303
You want her gone just as much as I do.
473
00:25:13,387 --> 00:25:16,223
- It ends.
- It's just begun. Sit down.
474
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:20,060
Please, Jim. Sit.
475
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:26,942
I want you to resign.
476
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:31,196
You can take till the end of the month.
Whatever. I want you to resign as well.
477
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,364
Why would I do that?
478
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:36,368
When I become president I want you
to join the others in my administration.
479
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:39,371
I'm not sure if I could stomach it.
Being your chief of staff?
480
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:41,457
I don't want you
to be my chief of staff.
481
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:43,667
I want you to be my vice president.
482
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,589
Now that got your attention, didn't it?
483
00:25:48,672 --> 00:25:50,382
[sighs]
484
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,427
First African American vice president.
485
00:25:54,344 --> 00:25:56,430
You and me, Jim.
486
00:25:56,513 --> 00:25:59,808
We can save this country.
We can save it from her.
487
00:26:01,143 --> 00:26:04,688
And don't you think
about your loyalty to the office.
488
00:26:06,273 --> 00:26:10,569
You think about your loyalty
to your people.
489
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:23,040
I'm gonna need your answer
by the state dinner.
490
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:26,001
You'll have it.
491
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:29,338
Good.
492
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,430
[Mac] Oh, Mrs. Kharkova.
493
00:26:38,514 --> 00:26:40,682
I didn't realize you were still here.
494
00:26:40,766 --> 00:26:42,935
I was just looking for my husband.
495
00:26:43,018 --> 00:26:46,730
Mmm... The first gentleman
is in the kitchen addressing a crisis.
496
00:26:46,814 --> 00:26:51,193
[chuckling] I'm sure he was
thrilled with that responsibility.
497
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:54,571
He has been a gracious host.
498
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:58,867
Ah... So, you saw the press conference.
499
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:02,579
You know,
this summit almost didn't happen.
500
00:27:02,663 --> 00:27:05,749
My husband wanted to cancel the visit.
501
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:08,877
He would never admit it, but, um,
502
00:27:08,961 --> 00:27:12,131
I think he was intimidated
to meet you, Madam President.
503
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:16,969
- Why would he be intimidated by me?
- Your reputation precedes you.
504
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:20,139
He was afraid you were
gonna put him on the spot.
505
00:27:20,222 --> 00:27:21,723
And you did.
506
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:24,893
President Bridges
never would have done that.
507
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:26,979
I spoke my mind.
508
00:27:27,062 --> 00:27:29,314
- That shouldn't be so intimidating.
- Mmm.
509
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:33,485
As much as Americans claim
to be students of history,
510
00:27:33,569 --> 00:27:35,696
they forget their own.
511
00:27:35,779 --> 00:27:39,700
We are just 15 years into the
experiment that your country
512
00:27:39,783 --> 00:27:42,786
continues after 200 years.
513
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:45,706
It took you 90 years
to get rid of slavery,
514
00:27:45,789 --> 00:27:49,376
and 150 to give women the right to vote.
515
00:27:50,335 --> 00:27:53,172
- It's not always easy.
- No.
516
00:27:53,255 --> 00:27:56,925
You and my husband
are both independent thinkers
517
00:27:57,009 --> 00:28:02,264
who struggle each day against a people
who seek to protect the status quo.
518
00:28:07,102 --> 00:28:11,648
Mrs. Kharkova,
I sincerely hope that your husband
519
00:28:11,732 --> 00:28:14,651
is feeling well enough
to attend tonight's state dinner.
520
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:19,156
Is there anything I can get him?
521
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:21,283
Chicken soup, perhaps?
522
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:24,661
There is one thing.
523
00:28:25,454 --> 00:28:28,624
- And I'm guessing it's not soup.
- [Mrs. Kharkova chuckles]
524
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:32,002
Fast-track our entry
into the World Trade Organization.
525
00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:38,300
Uh, technically,
I'm not in control of the WTO.
526
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:41,887
Oh. Well, technically,
my husband isn't in control
527
00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:44,056
of releasing the dissident journalists.
528
00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:48,977
I see.
529
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,689
I'm so glad we had a chance to talk.
530
00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:54,858
- Me too.
- Thank you.
531
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,741
[indistinct chatter]
532
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:13,001
[man] Good. Yes.
533
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:36,441
[sighing] I'm never gonna get this.
I'm gonna be in summer school.
534
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:38,360
It's easy. See, according to Mendel,
535
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:40,946
a dominant gene
will always express itself.
536
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:44,700
- Like… curly hair.
- [both laugh]
537
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,286
- [Rebecca] Thanks.
- [Flemming] I'm serious.
538
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:53,250
- [Rod] What's going on here, Rebecca?
- I'm… studying.
539
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:56,878
- A-ha. And you are…?
- Mike Flemming, sir.
540
00:29:56,962 --> 00:30:00,590
Hi, Mike. Can I speak to you
for a moment in private?
541
00:30:00,674 --> 00:30:04,469
- Um… sure.
- Great.
542
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:06,471
[Rebecca] One sec.
543
00:30:07,723 --> 00:30:10,142
[Rod] Why aren't you dressed
for the state dinner?
544
00:30:10,225 --> 00:30:12,352
- I'm not going.
- Go get dressed right now.
545
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:14,813
There's too much going on
for you to pull one of...
546
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:16,440
No, no, no. Mom said it was cool.
547
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:19,526
- [sighing] Really?
- Yeah.
548
00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:21,445
[grunts]
549
00:30:24,740 --> 00:30:26,742
[Rebecca] Sorry ‘bout that.
550
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:30,579
- Is everything cool?
- Yeah. It's fine.
551
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:34,082
- Study hard.
- Say hi to Kelly for me.
552
00:30:37,878 --> 00:30:41,923
[whispering] Hey. I don't want you
leaving your sister's side this evening.
553
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:45,302
No. I'm not staying in there
with her stupid boyfriend.
554
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:47,012
Just do it, OK?
555
00:30:47,095 --> 00:30:48,930
You can stay up as late as you want.
556
00:30:50,432 --> 00:30:52,642
Fine. You can play my video games.
557
00:30:55,604 --> 00:30:57,230
[both laughing]
558
00:30:58,065 --> 00:30:59,941
Excuse me.
559
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,863
[sighing, chuckling]
560
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:08,367
- Hi, Amy.
- Hi, Rebecca.
561
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:09,451
[door opening]
562
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:11,745
Hey.
563
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:13,997
Why'd you tell Rebecca
she didn't have to come?
564
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:15,040
What do you mean?
565
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:19,336
I told her she had to. You said
she didn't. You said that it was cool.
566
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:22,047
Cool? Does that sound
like something I would say?
567
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:26,468
Listen. When it comes to our kids,
if I say something, that's gotta matter.
568
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:28,387
Do you really want to get into this now?
569
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:29,471
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
570
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:31,598
It's not the first time
the kids have tried
571
00:31:31,681 --> 00:31:34,309
- to play us against each other.
- That's not the point.
572
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:38,355
Our first state dinner
is in ten minutes.
573
00:31:38,438 --> 00:31:40,816
Could this possibly wait two hours?
574
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:47,030
How do we know Kharkov'll even show up?
575
00:31:47,114 --> 00:31:51,243
Well, I have to think if their
relationship is anything like ours,
576
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:54,996
Mrs. Kharkova will have
a great deal of influence.
577
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:58,667
- Nora.
- Madam President, bright news.
578
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:01,628
We've been notified the
Russian delegation's on their way.
579
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:03,547
[sighs]
580
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:06,883
- [police sirens wail]
- Thank you.
581
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:09,428
[man] Attention!
582
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:34,786
- Madam Kharkova.
- Madam President.
583
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:36,705
- Madam Kharkova.
- President Kharkov.
584
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:39,583
I'm so pleased you decided
to join us this evening.
585
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:41,877
I'm not here for you.
586
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:46,298
I am here for my wife. And my country.
587
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:50,218
[Kharkov] As far as I'm concerned,
we're nowhere.
588
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:03,190
Speaker of the house, Nathan Templeton,
and his aide, Jayne Murray.
589
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:07,819
- Mr. Speaker.
- Madam President. Mr. First Gentleman.
590
00:33:07,903 --> 00:33:11,948
- Nathan.
- My wife regrets… apologizes.
591
00:33:12,032 --> 00:33:14,117
She still has not yet recovered.
592
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:19,623
- You give her my best.
- She'll appreciate that. Thank you.
593
00:33:19,706 --> 00:33:23,335
You've had quite a day.
You get an A for comportment.
594
00:33:24,794 --> 00:33:27,297
You remember my chief of staff,
Jayne Murray.
595
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:28,882
Jayne.
596
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:31,968
[speaking Russian]
597
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:35,889
- Madame.
- [speaks Russian]
598
00:33:37,057 --> 00:33:38,767
[Jayne] Nice to meet you.
599
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,240
[Mac] October 4, 1957 was a
disappointing day in American history.
600
00:33:54,449 --> 00:33:57,369
It's the day we lost the space race.
601
00:33:57,452 --> 00:33:59,663
When Americans looked skyward,
602
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:04,125
we could see just the faintest glimmer
of the Soviet Union's success.
603
00:34:04,209 --> 00:34:07,212
Sputnik was launched that day.
604
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:11,007
On the other side of the world,
a young aeronautical engineer
605
00:34:11,091 --> 00:34:14,052
looked to our shared sky
with great pride.
606
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:17,180
Anatoly Kharkov,
President Kharkov's father,
607
00:34:17,264 --> 00:34:20,225
was just 26 years old at the time.
608
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:23,144
Anatoly Kharkov was an innovator.
609
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:25,230
He played a key role in bringing
610
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:29,109
one of the the most vital tools
of democracy to the world.
611
00:34:29,192 --> 00:34:30,652
Communication.
612
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:35,031
Barriers have been broken,
walls have crumbled.
613
00:34:35,115 --> 00:34:37,576
But there's still
a lot of work to be done.
614
00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:43,039
If we hope for a peaceful
and prosperous future,
615
00:34:43,123 --> 00:34:47,502
then we must put aside
our personal agenda...
616
00:34:49,838 --> 00:34:52,716
...and stand
shoulder to shoulder together.
617
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,180
Thank you.
618
00:35:03,393 --> 00:35:04,603
[speaking Russian]
619
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:09,774
- [speaking Russian]
- [all cheering and clapping]
620
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:23,163
[crowd chattering]
621
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:25,665
- Thanks.
- No problem.
622
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:31,880
You do look good in a tux, Mr. Gardner.
623
00:35:32,839 --> 00:35:35,008
Hmm.
624
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:37,260
He needs your answer now.
625
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:46,478
Man, if I was your age
I'd be crawling out of my skin.
626
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:48,521
What, are you kidding?
I love this stuff.
627
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,398
Guess it's ‘cause I'm pretty mature.
628
00:35:54,944 --> 00:35:57,781
[video game beeping]
629
00:36:11,628 --> 00:36:14,172
- All danced out, Grace?
- [Grace chuckles]
630
00:36:14,255 --> 00:36:15,382
May I?
631
00:36:17,258 --> 00:36:21,596
- [sighing] I miss Teddy.
- He was a great president.
632
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,516
Congratulations.
It was a lovely evening.
633
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:26,768
[Rod] These, uh, last two years,
634
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:31,272
I had no idea how much thought
and attention was given to every detail.
635
00:36:31,356 --> 00:36:33,942
You always made everything look so easy.
636
00:36:35,819 --> 00:36:38,446
Rod, seeing your wife up there tonight,
637
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:41,032
she made it clear she is the president.
638
00:36:42,117 --> 00:36:45,370
Suddenly, I just feel like I'm
a guest in someone else's home.
639
00:36:45,453 --> 00:36:47,580
Oh, you know you're
always welcome here...
640
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:49,416
One who has overstayed.
641
00:36:50,834 --> 00:36:53,044
It's your home now. You belong here.
642
00:36:57,465 --> 00:36:59,384
- Good night.
- Good night.
643
00:37:13,064 --> 00:37:16,109
Madam President, here you go.
644
00:37:16,192 --> 00:37:19,070
One Oliver Chitwood biography
of President John Tyler.
645
00:37:19,154 --> 00:37:20,780
- Piece of cake.
- Really?
646
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:23,700
Well, let's say there's
a shop owner in Georgetown
647
00:37:23,783 --> 00:37:26,161
who may be attending
our next state dinner.
648
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:29,205
- May-May I ask why?
- Uh...
649
00:37:29,289 --> 00:37:31,291
Our tenth president, John Tyler.
650
00:37:31,374 --> 00:37:33,501
Not a lot of people know,
he was the first VP
651
00:37:33,585 --> 00:37:37,422
to take over the presidency,
when Harrison died in office.
652
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:39,716
- I didn't know that.
- Yeah.
653
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:45,305
His enemies tried to undermine him
by forcing Harrison's cabinet to resign.
654
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:48,767
But they didn't think it through.
655
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:51,811
Ended up making Tyler
even more powerful.
656
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:55,523
- Bedside reading?
- Yeah, just not for my bedside.
657
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:01,029
- Yes, ma'am.
- [chuckles]
658
00:38:08,369 --> 00:38:09,829
[Nathan chuckles]
659
00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:11,289
Busted.
660
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:13,374
Mr. Speaker.
661
00:38:14,375 --> 00:38:17,212
Uh-huh. "Mr. Speaker."
662
00:38:18,213 --> 00:38:20,882
When it's all said and done,
the woman is our president.
663
00:38:20,965 --> 00:38:23,551
She deserves the benefit
of the doubt, a chance...
664
00:38:23,635 --> 00:38:24,719
Stop.
665
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:29,307
You can't give her,
you can't give anybody a chance.
666
00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:32,894
You don't learn to be
the president on the job.
667
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:35,438
The stakes are too high, Jim.
668
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:38,775
The president has to be
the president from the get-go.
669
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,653
You're right.
670
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:43,655
And maybe you'd
be better at it than her.
671
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:47,575
But Teddy gave you
an opportunity and you said no.
672
00:38:48,618 --> 00:38:50,078
You put her in office.
673
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:52,497
Way I see it, you owe it
to the country to make sure
674
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:54,749
she's the best president she can be.
675
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:57,919
- Think about your people, Nate.
- My people?
676
00:38:58,002 --> 00:38:59,587
The American people.
677
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:05,885
OK.
678
00:39:05,969 --> 00:39:08,888
It's a mistake, Jim. But OK.
679
00:39:10,431 --> 00:39:13,226
Jayne looks lovely
in her dress, doesn't she?
680
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:17,939
- Yeah, she does.
- Enjoy your evening.
681
00:39:19,232 --> 00:39:22,402
Madam President,
would you like to dance?
682
00:39:23,903 --> 00:39:25,864
I'd be delighted.
683
00:39:25,947 --> 00:39:28,199
Thank you.
684
00:39:28,283 --> 00:39:29,534
Excuse me, Mr. President.
685
00:39:29,617 --> 00:39:33,037
But I need to borrow
our president on an urgent matter.
686
00:39:33,121 --> 00:39:35,415
Excuse me.
687
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:40,044
- Alex?
- It's just not done.
688
00:39:40,128 --> 00:39:41,838
- What?
- You.
689
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:45,884
- You can't dance with Kharkov.
- Why? Is he a bad dancer?
690
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:48,261
- A good dancer?
- It's just unprecedented.
691
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:50,263
- What do you think I am?
- Everything OK?
692
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:51,347
We've hit a hiccup.
693
00:39:51,431 --> 00:39:54,017
President Kharkov wants
to dance with our president.
694
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,895
World leaders cannot...
Shouldn't be dancing together.
695
00:39:56,978 --> 00:39:58,062
What's the protocol?
696
00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:01,232
- We're trying to figure that out.
- It cannot be that big of a deal.
697
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:03,401
- Are you out of your mind?
- [Kelly] Alex...
698
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:05,194
Ma'am, I think...
699
00:40:06,988 --> 00:40:09,490
Our staffs must think
this is inappropriate.
700
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:12,535
Dmitry, we are the world's leaders.
701
00:40:12,619 --> 00:40:15,204
I think we can decide
what's appropriate.
702
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:18,249
Thank you for asking me to dance.
703
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:21,210
Acknowledging my father.
It meant a lot to me.
704
00:40:21,294 --> 00:40:25,882
I didn't see much of him as a boy,
but his contribution outlives him.
705
00:40:28,801 --> 00:40:32,764
I'll do everything in my power
to provide an assistance package
706
00:40:32,847 --> 00:40:36,476
that allows Russia to qualify
for entry into the WTO.
707
00:40:37,185 --> 00:40:41,064
I will give the matter of the dissident
journalists the attention it deserves.
708
00:40:44,484 --> 00:40:47,862
- Is she leading?
- She's leading, all right.
709
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:49,364
[crowd clapping]
710
00:40:49,864 --> 00:40:52,325
Good evening. Mr. Speaker.
711
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:54,494
A gift from the president.
712
00:40:57,830 --> 00:40:59,499
President Tyler?
713
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:02,919
That's her counterpunch.
714
00:41:03,002 --> 00:41:05,463
I slip it and we go to round two.
715
00:41:06,547 --> 00:41:09,926
Clever girl.
716
00:41:10,009 --> 00:41:12,136
