1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:02,127
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:02,211 --> 00:00:05,714
- Like to introduce Richard McDonald.
- Dickie, what are you doing here?
3
00:00:05,797 --> 00:00:08,008
Nice to see they're
keeping you in the loop.
4
00:00:08,091 --> 00:00:10,511
You let me know
when you bring someone new.
5
00:00:10,594 --> 00:00:12,638
You're right. I'm sorry.
6
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:16,099
- You going to run for re-election?
- I hadn't really thought about it.
7
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:19,686
You don't start running today, you're
a lame duck for the next two years.
8
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:23,357
You should close up the Connecticut
house and move in here with us.
9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,567
Be careful. I just might accept.
10
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:27,611
No Mike! I...
11
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:30,864
...um, I just...
12
00:00:30,948 --> 00:00:32,991
I'm sorry. I just can't.
13
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:34,451
What's up with him?
14
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:37,913
- About your sister.
- Did he say something?
15
00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:40,249
- Horace! Stop!
- Flemming, I wanna talk to you!
16
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:42,543
Keep your mouth shut.
How hard is that?
17
00:00:42,626 --> 00:00:43,919
I tried but... you know.
18
00:00:44,002 --> 00:00:45,921
Sometimes a guy's just gotta share.
19
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,881
I did the president's daughter!
20
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:49,424
People make mistakes.
21
00:00:49,508 --> 00:00:52,844
You know what they say.
It's a contact sport. Wear a cup.
22
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:56,473
You may want to put on a cup for this.
23
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:59,017
She just ambushed me
in the Oval Office.
24
00:00:59,101 --> 00:01:01,270
She knew I had the story
of her gay assistant.
25
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:04,648
- And she knew how I got it.
- You'll have other opportunities.
26
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:07,693
No. I don't want to hear your excuses.
Just get out of here.
27
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:11,238
- I shouldn't have fired Jayne.
- Jayne was an excellent chief of staff.
28
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:16,076
- You won't find any better.
- Well, I can't hire her back.
29
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,453
Why not?
30
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:20,330
Because I'd have to beg.
31
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:24,585
[chuckling] It's just a tactic,
sweetheart.
32
00:01:41,852 --> 00:01:47,733
- They also serve who only sit and wait.
- Nathan.
33
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:51,028
- You're up early.
- May I?
34
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:52,613
I'm expecting someone.
35
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:55,907
He's always late... Alex Tucci.
36
00:01:55,991 --> 00:01:59,328
You're going to try and persuade
the good senator from Arizona
37
00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:00,954
to allow more what?
38
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:04,833
- Navajo casinos in his state?
- Apache casinos, actually.
39
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:07,586
Lobbying becomes you.
40
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:10,964
Word has it that
the clients are just pouring in.
41
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:14,176
- It's going well.
- I would expect nothing less.
42
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:17,095
- You're top-notch.
- Thank you.
43
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:20,015
How are things at the office?
44
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:21,892
[grunting, inhaling deeply]
45
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:25,646
It's not easy finding
someone to fill your shoes.
46
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:29,858
Well, I hear you're
talking to Jim Carrigan.
47
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:32,152
- He's good.
- Give me a break.
48
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:36,573
Jim Carrigan in your
shoes lacks a certain...
49
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:37,866
...something.
50
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:41,953
- Well, I'm sure you'll find someone.
- What about you?
51
00:02:42,037 --> 00:02:44,081
What do you think
about you coming back?
52
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,087
- Why the change of heart?
- It's not a change of heart.
53
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,630
My heart never changed.
54
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:55,342
It broke a little and
it's back together now.
55
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:58,011
We're a good team.
Real good.
56
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,932
I don't remember you saying anything
like that when you fired me.
57
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:05,811
I was intemperate and...
I regret that.
58
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,438
You hurt me, Nathan.
59
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:10,232
I hurt you?
60
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:14,111
You betrayed me, Jayne.
61
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,909
I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker.
62
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:23,912
- I like what I'm doing.
- Yeah. Of course you do.
63
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:28,959
Senator Tucci's here.
64
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:31,461
It's a tricky business.
This casino stuff, Jayne.
65
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:33,046
So watch your back, okay?
66
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:36,383
Thank you.
67
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:39,928
It's "if" I run.
No decision's been made.
68
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:43,306
I've been thinking it over and
wanted to talk about it with all of you.
69
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,017
And we know a campaign
won't be easy on anyone.
70
00:03:46,101 --> 00:03:48,603
It means more travel
for Mom and me.
71
00:03:48,687 --> 00:03:51,022
- Even less family time.
- Do you think you can win?
72
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,567
- The first question is, "Do I run?"
- Of course you do.
73
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:57,362
You're not going to settle for two years
of borrowed presidency, are you?
74
00:03:57,446 --> 00:03:59,906
- I say go for it.
- You mean that, Horace?
75
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:00,991
Yeah. Absolutely.
76
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:04,411
Can I stay up and watch the
election returns this time?
77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,039
- Yes, you can.
- Then I think you should do it.
78
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:10,876
Becca?
79
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,627
Does it matter what I think?
80
00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:15,505
It's a family discussion.
Matters what everyone thinks.
81
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:18,467
So does that mean if I say no,
you won't run?
82
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:21,094
It means that everyone gets a say.
83
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:24,055
So then it doesn't
really matter what I think.
84
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:26,558
If you don't want to be
part of a campaign, fine.
85
00:04:26,641 --> 00:04:30,145
- You don't have to do anything.
- I'm a part whether I wanna be or not.
86
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:32,689
You think I'll be left alone
just because you say so?
87
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:35,275
We'll talk to the press.
We'll control the media.
88
00:04:35,358 --> 00:04:37,819
And the tabloids and
talk radio and the net?
89
00:04:37,903 --> 00:04:42,032
Remember when bloggers claimed
Tommy wasn't President Bridges's son?
90
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,035
That was a lie.
Nobody believed that.
91
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:48,747
- There are people who believe that.
- Come on, Bec. It's not like that.
92
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:51,625
In an election they can say
whatever they want about us.
93
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:53,752
You think people care if it's the truth?
94
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:55,712
Becca...
95
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:58,340
Mom, do whatever you want, okay?
96
00:04:58,423 --> 00:05:01,885
Just don't pretend
you care about my opinion.
97
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,722
Becca's first reaction
is always to strike back.
98
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,933
- Then she comes around.
- She's right.
99
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:11,561
If I run, it'll get ugly. Templeton
will see to that, if no one else does.
100
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:14,022
- We can handle it.
- It won't be like last time.
101
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:17,734
The president's family takes much more
heat than the vice president's.
102
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,486
We're tougher than you think.
103
00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:21,154
Morning, everyone.
104
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:23,281
- Madam President.
- Thank you for coming.
105
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:24,741
- Dickie.
- Rod.
106
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:27,869
Well, I love the smell
of a new campaign in the morning.
107
00:05:27,953 --> 00:05:29,955
We're not running yet.
Just talking.
108
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:32,332
Well, so what do you think?
Can we pull it off?
109
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:35,669
Like to start by assessing a
candidate's strengths and weaknesses.
110
00:05:35,752 --> 00:05:39,130
I've put together a list of
all the assets we have on hand
111
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:41,591
to win the election.
112
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:49,724
None. We have nothing.
113
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:54,020
We have no states we know we can win.
No electoral votes we can count on.
114
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:57,440
No party to support us.
No endorsements. No money.
115
00:05:57,524 --> 00:06:00,151
She's a sitting president.
A significant asset.
116
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:01,736
We're on TV every day.
117
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,364
We have the front page
of the papers any time we want.
118
00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:07,492
Well, last time I checked,
our poll numbers weren't so bad.
119
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:10,954
Your likeability and trustworthiness
numbers are through the roof.
120
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,665
Majority of Americans
think you're a good person.
121
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:18,169
They also think you're president by
accident. That doesn't bring in votes.
122
00:06:18,253 --> 00:06:20,964
Now, I polled a hypothetical election.
123
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:23,508
You against Templeton
and an unnamed Democrat.
124
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,135
If that race were held today...
125
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:26,761
...you'd come in third.
126
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,431
We lost to someone with no name?
127
00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:33,101
Dickie, this is starting to sound like
a meeting to convince Mac not to run.
128
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,854
If you run, you can win.
129
00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:38,273
But you have to
define yourself for the people.
130
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:41,234
Show them why you're not just
Teddy Bridges's replacement.
131
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:45,196
Excuse me. Madam President, the National
Security Advisor has asked to see you.
132
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,741
Thank you.
You'll have to excuse us.
133
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,285
I'll stick around in case
your day opens up later.
134
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:51,453
Don't bet on it.
135
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,045
What is it, Tony?
136
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:03,965
Ma'am, we've received word
that one of our subs is in trouble.
137
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:07,677
It's the Seattle.
An Ohio class SSGN. Crew of 155.
138
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:10,847
- We think it struck something.
- What's the damage? Casualties?
139
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:14,976
Don't know. Communication's difficult.
I'm afraid it gets worse.
140
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,771
She's off the coast of North Korea.
141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,608
How far off the coast?
142
00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:26,529
Fifteen miles from the city of Chongjin.
That's why the comm's so bad.
143
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:31,159
They're transmitting on low frequency
so the North Koreans won't intercept.
144
00:07:31,242 --> 00:07:34,120
Fifteen miles...
That's practically inside their waters.
145
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:37,832
Yes. Fortunately, right now, it looks
like they have no idea we're there.
146
00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:40,210
CIA says there's nothing
on North Korean media.
147
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,088
NSA reports no increase
in chatter on military channels.
148
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:46,758
- They find out, they'll throw a fit.
- [Mac] They'll throw worse than that.
149
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,552
We had operations in that area?
What is it doing there?
150
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:52,681
I don't know. This is the first
I've heard she was in the region.
151
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:55,767
The Joint Chiefs and the
secretary of defense are on their way.
152
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:58,019
How long can the men last?
153
00:07:58,103 --> 00:08:02,065
At this point we estimate
96 hours, at most.
154
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:24,421
[bell ringing]
155
00:08:31,219 --> 00:08:32,762
- Hey.
- Hey.
156
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:34,889
Way to throw Mom a little support, Bec.
157
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:36,975
Why is it always about
us supporting her?
158
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:40,311
- I mean, how about her supporting us?
- She's supported us plenty.
159
00:08:40,395 --> 00:08:42,897
- Lately?
- She's been busy.
160
00:08:42,981 --> 00:08:44,441
My point exactly.
161
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,651
I'm not saying
it's gonna be easy if she runs.
162
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:50,071
Look, I don't like the campaigning
any more than you do.
163
00:08:50,155 --> 00:08:52,532
Liar. All that attention.
Come on, you love it.
164
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:57,412
You don't have anyone on the high
dive saying "I did the president's son."
165
00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:01,166
- Flemming is a jerk.
- It's not about him, okay?
166
00:09:01,249 --> 00:09:03,543
It's about... having some privacy.
167
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:07,255
Bec, Mom has got a chance to do
something really extraordinary.
168
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:09,466
We should be there for her.
169
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:13,011
You just don't get it, Horace.
170
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:15,138
I mean, it's not just the election.
171
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:17,182
This could be ten years of our lives.
172
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:18,641
I mean, think about it.
173
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:21,144
Every girl you date,
every test you fail,
174
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:24,272
every time you screw up...
It's public property.
175
00:09:24,355 --> 00:09:26,983
And God forbid
you get your hands on a bong
176
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:29,986
and someone's got
a digital camera in the room.
177
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,822
'Cause ten minutes later
you'll be on the Internet.
178
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:36,826
I'm just saying I want my life
to be my life.
179
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,496
Is that so much to ask for?
180
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,298
- Ten-hut!
- Everyone.
181
00:09:50,381 --> 00:09:52,050
[door closing]
182
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:58,640
Please be seated.
General Krieger, what do we know?
183
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:02,685
At 04:50 the Seattle struck a seamount
14 miles off the coast of North Korea.
184
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:06,356
- How? Isn't it on the charts?
- We checked against satellite imagery.
185
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,484
The mountain's charted
location is off by almost 1200 yards.
186
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:11,111
How bad is the damage?
187
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:13,530
The starboard forward section
was breached.
188
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:17,033
They were able to seal off the
compartments aft of the collision point,
189
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:18,701
but there are cracks in the hull.
190
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:22,664
Which means there is flooding in some
compartments throughout the boat.
191
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:25,834
They have power, but they've lost
propulsion. They can't move.
192
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:28,837
And where's the sub in relation
to the 12 mile limit?
193
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,134
After the collision, it drifted. It's on
the ocean floor just inside the limit.
194
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:38,346
The crew was able to seal itself off
in the aft compartments, here.
195
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:43,101
They're reporting 24 injured.
No fatalities. Yet.
196
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:44,477
What's our rescue plan?
197
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:48,648
We're still putting one together.
Obviously, the location is a problem.
198
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,656
- What's the captain's name?
- Andrew Duggan.
199
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,909
- Do we have communication with him?
- We're working on it.
200
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:02,453
All right. Let me know when you do.
201
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:06,332
General Krieger, Secretary Frances,
Director Shoop. A minute.
202
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:11,546
- [telephone ringing]
- [indistinct chatter]
203
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:19,804
What was one of our submarines
doing that close to North Korea?
204
00:11:20,722 --> 00:11:24,434
Ma'am, the Seattle was on a covert
intelligence mission monitoring the
205
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,937
possible sale of nuclear material from
North Korea to the black market.
206
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,607
A spy mission?
First I've heard about it.
207
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,318
- Who authorized it?
- [Frances] President Bridges.
208
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:36,529
- Shortly before his death.
- And why wasn't I told?
209
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:40,074
When President Bridges died,
it had not been ordered to North Korea.
210
00:11:40,158 --> 00:11:43,286
- There was no mission to inform you.
- He just said there was.
211
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,997
- One of you is lying.
- The mission had been approved.
212
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,916
Operational orders hadn't gone out.
213
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,376
[Frances] We've got
assets on the move every day.
214
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:53,880
If we told you every tank we moved,
we wouldn't have time to do anything.
215
00:11:54,797 --> 00:11:57,800
This is not a tank, Mr. Secretary.
This is a submarine
216
00:11:57,884 --> 00:12:02,805
the size of two football fields
armed with a 154 cruise missiles.
217
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,059
The next time you want to put one
in the waters of a hostile nation
218
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:10,730
that might have nuclear weapons aimed
at San Francisco. I wanna know about it.
219
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:14,108
Is that clear?
220
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:17,820
Noted.
221
00:12:19,781 --> 00:12:23,409
Let me know as soon as you have
voice contact with the sub.
222
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:28,873
Why did they keep this a secret? Does
the military distrust me that much?
223
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:30,500
[Rod] Of course. At budget time,
224
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:33,711
Bridges gave the Pentagon
everything they asked for. You won't.
225
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:35,838
You're a civilian.
Never been in uniform.
226
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:37,924
- That's not supposed to matter.
- It does.
227
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:41,135
- They'll learn to trust you.
- The question is, can we trust them?
228
00:12:41,219 --> 00:12:44,722
We're not talking coup d'etat.
This mission had Presidential approval.
229
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:47,350
- Not this President's approval.
- That was wrong.
230
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,644
But... honestly, ma'am.
231
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:52,814
If they had come to you,
would you have said no?
232
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:56,025
If North Koreans are moving
nuclear material, we want to know.
233
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,987
The point is, they didn't ask.
Did you know about this?
234
00:12:59,070 --> 00:13:01,406
No. Bridges was close
to Krieger and Frances.
235
00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:04,367
- They met without me all the time.
- Really?
236
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:07,203
- Are you insinuating something?
- I'm just wondering.
237
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:10,957
No time for this, guys. Look, is the
secretary of state in Bangalore yet?
238
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,085
- Arrived about an hour ago.
- Brief him, but tell him to stay put.
239
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:16,379
If he cuts his trip short
it raises questions.
240
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:19,674
Maybe we want the vice president here.
He knows the military.
241
00:13:19,757 --> 00:13:20,967
- I trust him.
- I'll call.
242
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:22,844
- Good.
- The Joint Chiefs are ready.
243
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:25,221
I wanna meet in
the Cabinet, not the Sit Room.
244
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:28,558
Any particular reason?
The Sit Room's better equipped for this.
245
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:31,227
We can move equipment
to the Cabinet Room if we need to?
246
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,354
- Of course.
- That's where we're meeting.
247
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:35,857
- All right.
- The Sit Room is their tree house.
248
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:37,483
I want to meet on my own ground.
249
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:43,906
- Rod!
- Mmm?
250
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,701
That's the last time you
question my loyalty or honesty
251
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:48,786
- in front of the president.
- Just asking.
252
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:52,415
We've enough trouble getting the
military and president on the same page
253
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:55,918
without selling her some conspiracy
about generals plotting a coup.
254
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:59,130
- Think the military's against her?
- I think they don't know her.
255
00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:01,591
Treat them like the enemy,
they become the enemy.
256
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:04,886
Well, maybe they are. The Chiefs.
The secretary of defense.
257
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:08,473
They're Bridges' people.
I don't trust 'em worth a damn.
258
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:13,311
Oh, and by the way, I'll sell my wife
on any conspiracy theory I like.
259
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:27,533
Unusual setting, ma'am.
260
00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:29,827
It's an unusual problem.
What's your plan?
261
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:34,332
Ma'am, we're going to use a Pressurized
Rescue Module System. PRMS.
262
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:36,292
It allows us to extract the crew
263
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:39,545
and remove them to a site
outside the 12 mile limit.
264
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:41,381
Then return in a couple of months.
265
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:43,633
- Tow the sub out.
- The Koreans won't know?
266
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,259
No. There is one catch.
267
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:48,930
The PRMS has to be tethered to
a ship outside the 12 mile limit.
268
00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:51,808
Obviously, it can't be American.
That would be a red flag.
269
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:54,352
- How about a Japanese ship?
- The same as one of ours.
270
00:14:54,435 --> 00:14:56,604
What kind of ship
did you have in mind?
271
00:14:56,687 --> 00:15:00,441
The Chinese have oceanographic research
vessels that work around the limit.
272
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:02,777
- The Chinese?
- North Koreans won't look twice
273
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:04,695
at a Chinese ship,
Mr. Vice President.
274
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:07,990
Let me get this straight. You want me
to ask the Chinese government
275
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:10,493
to rescue an American crew
in Korean waters?
276
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:13,579
If you want to save the lives
of the Seattle's crew...
277
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:15,164
- ...yes.
- We can't do that.
278
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,625
The sub is there.
What other choice do we have?
279
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:21,504
It'd be an intelligence catastrophe if
that sub fell into North Korean hands.
280
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,798
Or Chinese hands, for that matter.
281
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:26,884
It'll endanger the lives
of every sub crew in the water.
282
00:15:26,968 --> 00:15:30,054
We have to assume the North Koreans
have nuclear weapons.
283
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:33,683
If they have them, they'll use them.
It's not a rational state, ma'am.
284
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:36,978
It's the international equivalent
of a paranoid schizophrenic.
285
00:15:37,061 --> 00:15:39,397
If they find out we've got
a sub in their water,
286
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,859
we could be looking at
mushroom clouds in 15 minutes.
287
00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:47,864
Ma'am, there is no one who wants
those men home more than I do.
288
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,949
No one.
289
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:53,703
But they were briefed on the mission...
and they understood the risks.
290
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,580
You're saying, "don't rescue them."
291
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:59,625
Ma'am, it repels me
to even to suggest that.
292
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:03,796
But that may be our only option.
293
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:08,718
I'm not ready to consider it.
294
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:11,554
Ma'am, if you don't want
to work with the Chinese.
295
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,389
You don't want to abandon the sub...
296
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:16,476
What do you want to do?
297
00:16:23,149 --> 00:16:25,234
Let's contact the Chinese.
298
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,572
Templeton knows
the Chinese ambassador.
299
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,616
Golf buddies.
He might be able to help.
300
00:16:31,699 --> 00:16:33,743
Templeton? I don't trust Templeton.
301
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:36,579
Neither do I. But... if he can help,
I want him here.
302
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,372
I'll make the call.
303
00:16:38,456 --> 00:16:41,959
Excuse me. The state's attorney's
general. They're waiting in the OEOB.
304
00:16:42,043 --> 00:16:44,378
Do you want to skip that?
I could make an excuse.
305
00:16:44,462 --> 00:16:47,548
Start changing the schedule,
people will know something's up.
306
00:16:47,632 --> 00:16:49,509
For now we keep up appearances.
307
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:53,221
[indistinct chatter]
308
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,184
Ma'am.
309
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:02,813
- You up on North Korea?
- Why? Should I be?
310
00:17:02,897 --> 00:17:05,483
- It's on the radar.
- How would you know?
311
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:10,321
Prado calls the president
in for a meeting.
312
00:17:10,404 --> 00:17:13,741
President goes down to the Sit Room.
Huddles in the Oval with Keaton.
313
00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:15,284
Then goes to the Cabinet Room.
314
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:18,704
Meets with Frances, Krieger, Shoop,
and a whole mess of Navy boys.
315
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:22,083
Including not one, not two,
but three East Asia experts.
316
00:17:22,166 --> 00:17:25,461
A couple of countries in that part of
the world could rattle our cage.
317
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:28,506
- My money says North Korea.
- You're making this up.
318
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:31,259
Foreign policy crisis
can be big for a press secretary.
319
00:17:31,342 --> 00:17:33,886
- Right.
- Capital is Pyongyang.
320
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:35,638
Don't say I didn't warn you.
321
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,892
[phone ringing]
322
00:17:42,937 --> 00:17:44,814
What are you still doing here, Dickie?
323
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,649
I'm here to help you out.
324
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:49,026
- With what?
- Your Korean problem.
325
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:51,988
I don't claim
national security expertise.
326
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:55,449
The last place I should be is in
the Cabinet Room with the generals.
327
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:58,911
But... if this is even half as big
as I think it is,
328
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:01,497
it's gonna be a pivotal moment
for the president.
329
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:04,917
Once decisions are made, you need
someone to help shape the message.
330
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:10,590
Listen to me, Dickie.
There is no Korean problem.
331
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:13,134
There are no generals
in the Cabinet Room.
332
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:15,219
And there is not
going to be a message.
333
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:18,472
Whatever it is, I hope you're right.
334
00:18:18,556 --> 00:18:21,434
You brought me here
to help protect the president's flank.
335
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:23,769
I have a hunch she
might need some protecting.
336
00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:26,355
Well, let's hope not.
337
00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:30,443
But... if she does...
We'll call you.
338
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,194
Rod.
339
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,991
- I just want to help.
- I know.
340
00:18:39,535 --> 00:18:41,787
- [phones ringing]
- [indistinct chatter]
341
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,294
Mr. Speaker. Thank you for coming.
342
00:18:48,377 --> 00:18:50,713
The game's afoot.
Let's get those people home.
343
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:53,841
- Think the Chinese'll help?
- It's an unprecedented request.
344
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:57,762
They're going to ask for a lot.
But the ambassador's a friend of mine.
345
00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:00,681
I've been giving him mulligans
for the past ten years.
346
00:19:00,765 --> 00:19:02,642
I'm confident we can make a deal.
347
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:04,226
- Good.
- [Keaton] Problem.
348
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:07,772
The Seattle's reporting that
the scrubbers are contaminated.
349
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:11,776
- How extensive is the damage?
- They estimate 10% capacity left.
350
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:15,571
Scrubbers do what?
They take oxygen from seawater, right?
351
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:17,698
How long do they think
the system can last?
352
00:19:17,782 --> 00:19:19,950
Forty to 48 hours.
353
00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:23,663
Can we get the rescue vehicle
down to them before then?
354
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:26,040
- There's not a chance.
- [door opening]
355
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:30,336
Ma'am? The sub's was able
to get a buoy to the surface.
356
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:33,464
We have communication
with the captain for a few minutes.
357
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:38,511
[radio static, male voice] The hull is
still holding with even pressure.
358
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,554
We're at 39 centimeters.
359
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:43,432
Captain Duggan, this is the president.
Can you hear me?
360
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:47,269
Yes, ma'am, I can hear you. It's coming
in and out, but I can hear you.
361
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:50,606
It's good to hear your voice.
How is your crew?
362
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:54,443
All present and accounted for.
We're hanging in there.
363
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:57,571
A little banged up here.
Managing to hold our own.
364
00:19:57,655 --> 00:20:00,950
Good. We're doing everything
we can to get you and your men out
365
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:03,744
as soon as possible.
366
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:06,956
- [feedback, static]
- Captain?
367
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,083
Captain Duggan,
can you hear me?
368
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:29,645
Is there any way to get a rescue vehicle
down to the sub in time?
369
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:32,732
Ma'am, the problem is half the
equipment's in Guam for repair.
370
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:34,859
- The other half...
- Yes or no, admiral.
371
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,777
No.
372
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,114
Madam President,
I'm afraid at this point
373
00:20:40,197 --> 00:20:43,284
we have to consider
abandoning the Seattle.
374
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,746
A rescue's impossible.
375
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:49,039
Our paramount responsibility
376
00:20:49,123 --> 00:20:52,293
is keeping the North Koreans
from learning about the sub.
377
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,920
Best way to do that
is stay as far away as we can.
378
00:20:56,297 --> 00:20:59,216
Ma'am, if the North Koreans
find out where the Seattle is,
379
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,886
we could be dealing with
a nuclear confrontation.
380
00:21:01,969 --> 00:21:03,929
We can't afford to take that risk.
381
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,267
I think the Chinese have...
382
00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:12,772
Admiral, don't the Chinese have a deep
sea rescue system similar to the PRMS?
383
00:21:12,855 --> 00:21:14,148
They do.
384
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:19,028
- Could we use their system?
- In theory.
385
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:22,281
Borrow a Chinese rescue vehicle?
386
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:24,200
They'd never go for it.
387
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:27,077
Why not?
We're asking them to borrow a boat.
388
00:21:27,161 --> 00:21:30,873
Even if they loaned it, there's not time
to train Americans pilots to run it.
389
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:33,125
What if the Chinese provided the pilots?
390
00:21:33,209 --> 00:21:35,419
Ma'am, a Chinese crew inside the Seattle
391
00:21:35,503 --> 00:21:38,005
would be an unacceptable
intelligence breach.
392
00:21:43,177 --> 00:21:46,680
Would a Chinese pilot
have to enter the Seattle?
393
00:21:46,764 --> 00:21:49,475
What if we sent an American crew
down in the Chinese ship?
394
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:52,144
The Chinese would never
have to leave their vehicle.
395
00:21:53,729 --> 00:21:55,731
If the Chinese went along...
396
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:01,654
You think we can get
the Chinese to make a deal?
397
00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:04,949
We can always make a deal.
It's just a question of price.
398
00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:07,660
How long before
the ambassador gets here?
399
00:22:07,743 --> 00:22:09,411
Hour. He's on his way from New York.
400
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:12,456
- Let me know as soon as he gets here.
- Yes, ma'am.
401
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,464
What are the Chinese
going to want to make this deal?
402
00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:22,925
Weapons. I mean, not from us directly.
403
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:27,263
But they've been trying to buy high-tech
weapons parts from the European Union.
404
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:30,432
We've been blocking it.
They'll ask you to look the other way.
405
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:33,018
- I can't agree to that.
- Good. I mean, right. Right.
406
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:36,605
Bring their military up to speed.
Run the risk of cutting your own throat.
407
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:39,400
How do I keep that off
the table and still make a deal?
408
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:45,656
[inhaling] Well, you start by offering
them to cut tariffs on steel, textiles.
409
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:47,950
Dial back the rhetoric on human rights.
410
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:49,785
- Is that going to do it?
- No.
411
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:53,455
We're asking for a lot.
They're going to want a lot.
412
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:55,624
I just don't know
what else we have to give.
413
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:59,378
If you don't want them to buy weapons,
how about letting them sell weapons?
414
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:03,132
I mean, the Chinese have been trying
to export arms to Algeria and Myanmar.
415
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,217
- We've stood in the way.
- Hmm.
416
00:23:05,301 --> 00:23:09,096
You could sure get their attention if
you offered to turn a blind eye to that.
417
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:13,058
Hmm. Putting more weapons into
the Third World? I'd rather not.
418
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:15,978
It's not what you want.
It's what you can't.
419
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:20,691
The bottom line is, they're not going
to ask for something you want to give.
420
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:22,318
Hmm.
421
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:26,864
- [telephones ringing]
- [indistinct chatter]
422
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:33,203
Ninety minutes. We're waiting
90 minutes for this guy.
423
00:23:33,287 --> 00:23:36,248
Mr. McIntyre. It's the White House.
They get busy.
424
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:38,417
I'm busy.
I got here at three on the dot.
425
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,086
[sighing heavily] It's Gardner himself
426
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:43,505
- that we're meeting with, right?
- That's right.
427
00:23:43,589 --> 00:23:46,133
I don't want to be
staffed out to the assistant.
428
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:48,177
Jim has the president's ear, OK?
429
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:51,639
Talking to him is as good as
talking to the president herself.
430
00:23:51,722 --> 00:23:54,892
Oh, here he is.
Jim, this is Andrew McIntyre.
431
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:58,103
He's vice president of the
Automobile Retailers Consortium.
432
00:23:58,187 --> 00:24:00,522
Mr. McIntyre, I'm sorry.
We can't meet today.
433
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:02,942
- What?
- We have an appointment.
434
00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:06,654
I do apologize. Check with me next week.
I'll give you plenty of time.
435
00:24:06,737 --> 00:24:07,988
- Jim...
- I'm sorry.
436
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:10,616
Mr. McIntyre, again, my apologies.
437
00:24:12,326 --> 00:24:13,702
What the hell was that?
438
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:16,705
- Obviously, there's some problem.
- Oh yeah, there sure is.
439
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:18,332
I flew in from Saginaw for this?
440
00:24:18,415 --> 00:24:21,126
- I'll get you another meeting.
- Aw, the hell you will.
441
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:23,045
We're paying your firm
$20,000 a month
442
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:25,297
for face time with
senior White House staff.
443
00:24:25,381 --> 00:24:28,801
That's what you deliver. That's
what I expect. Get me that meeting.
444
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:31,929
Hey. A little respect
when you speak to the lady.
445
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:35,641
- Who are you?
- Her fiancé.
446
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:44,024
You tell your boss
you just lost him an account.
447
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:50,447
My fiancé?
448
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,825
Jayne Murray, Dickie McDonald.
449
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:54,994
I can't believe we haven't
met before now.
450
00:24:56,412 --> 00:24:59,456
- Let me buy you a drink.
- Thank you, but I should talk to him.
451
00:24:59,540 --> 00:25:00,791
And do what? Apologize?
452
00:25:00,874 --> 00:25:02,835
- You'll hate yourself.
- I know.
453
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:04,753
Unfortunately,
I need to do it so...
454
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:08,340
How about later?
The Wellington, 6:00?
455
00:25:08,424 --> 00:25:10,843
- Sure.
- All right. See you there.
456
00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:21,478
Mr. Ambassador. Thank you
for coming on such short notice.
457
00:25:21,562 --> 00:25:24,440
Madam President, I only wish
the situation were less grave.
458
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,525
- Thank you. Please.
- Thank you.
459
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:28,485
As you know,
we have very little time.
460
00:25:28,569 --> 00:25:31,488
We need your government's help
to save the men on our sub.
461
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:35,117
I understand. And we do have
technology to perform the rescue.
462
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,162
Unfortunately,
the situation is complicated.
463
00:25:38,245 --> 00:25:42,499
Your submarine's position relative to
the North Korean coast, for example,
464
00:25:42,583 --> 00:25:44,001
is a complication.
465
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:48,422
The Seattle was outside Korea's waters
when the damage was sustained.
466
00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:50,674
Then why were you
so close in the first place?
467
00:25:50,758 --> 00:25:53,969
Time is short, let's be blunt.
It was spying.
468
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:56,889
- Well, we're not saying that.
- Of course not.
469
00:25:56,972 --> 00:25:59,475
[Ambassador] Relations
with North Korea are good.
470
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,978
They are not stable in dealing
with enemies or allies.
471
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:07,649
If we help you, and the North Koreans
discover it, our relationship
472
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:10,319
could change dramatically
and catastrophically.
473
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:11,987
We understand the risks.
474
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:15,115
That's why we're offering
consideration in exchange for help.
475
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:19,453
My good friend Nathan has
mentioned the trade concessions.
476
00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:23,499
And softening of your
pronouncements on human rights.
477
00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:25,918
While my government
appreciates these things,
478
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:29,671
given the scale of the request,
479
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:32,007
we're looking for more consideration.
480
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:33,759
What did you have in mind?
481
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:37,596
There are a certain purchases we would
like to make with your allies in Europe.
482
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,182
- The weapons. No.
- Communications systems.
483
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:42,726
- Sensor systems.
- Communications for weapons.
484
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:45,270
Sensors for weapons.
That's not on the table.
485
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:49,358
Then it will be difficult for me
to convince my government to help.
486
00:26:53,946 --> 00:26:56,490
[inhaling and exhaling deeply]
487
00:26:56,573 --> 00:27:00,327
Look. There's the matter of China's...
488
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,497
...how shall I put it...
489
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:08,418
...frustrated efforts to
complete the sale of certain
490
00:27:08,502 --> 00:27:11,421
equipment to Algeria and Myanmar.
491
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:16,009
So you are saying you would deny
our ability to purchase weapons,
492
00:27:16,093 --> 00:27:18,512
but would allow us to sell them.
493
00:27:18,595 --> 00:27:22,057
Put that way, it sounds almost poetic.
494
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:25,018
- Would your government accept it?
- I'll get back to you.
495
00:27:25,102 --> 00:27:28,021
Then please do. And quickly.
We're dealing in hours.
496
00:27:28,105 --> 00:27:30,357
- If you'll excuse me.
- Of course.
497
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,192
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
498
00:27:40,242 --> 00:27:43,829
- What do you think?
- I hope we don't live to regret that.
499
00:27:43,912 --> 00:27:45,414
That's always a possibility,
500
00:27:45,497 --> 00:27:48,542
but it's a certainty we would have
regretted the alternative.
501
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:50,586
Arms sales to Myanmar and Algeria.
502
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,713
It's a lot for the
Joint Chiefs to swallow.
503
00:27:52,796 --> 00:27:57,217
You just tell them to open
their mouths a little wider.
504
00:27:57,301 --> 00:28:00,262
I think I'll put it
a little more delicately.
505
00:28:08,979 --> 00:28:11,607
I guess if you've
moved into the White House,
506
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:14,443
that means
the president's running, right?
507
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,945
I can neither confirm nor deny.
508
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:20,407
Come on. You didn't just come in
to prop her up for the next two years.
509
00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:23,202
What about you?
You were Nathan Templeton's right hand.
510
00:28:23,285 --> 00:28:26,246
- What happened?
- I wanted a change.
511
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,749
So you became a lobbyist?
512
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:32,294
- What's wrong with being a lobbyist?
- After today? You tell me.
513
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:37,257
There are good days.
I get to work on issues I care about.
514
00:28:37,341 --> 00:28:40,469
The money's not bad.
Not all the clients are jerks.
515
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,889
You're never going to be happy
as a lobbyist. You're a power chick.
516
00:28:45,307 --> 00:28:47,643
- A power chick?
- Forgive me.
517
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,645
- A hot power chick.
- [Jayne laughs]
518
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:54,650
Only somebody very interested in power
could be Templeton's chief of staff.
519
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,527
- Maybe I'm interested in more.
- You are who you are.
520
00:28:57,611 --> 00:29:00,322
When you were working for Templeton,
you were the buyer.
521
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:04,076
Everyone came to you.
Now you're a salesman.
522
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:06,828
Is that really what you want to be?
523
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:09,581
- It's more complicated than that.
- No, it's not.
524
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:12,167
It's simple. Power.
525
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:16,129
You have it. Or you don't.
526
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:19,049
Everything else is conversation.
527
00:29:19,675 --> 00:29:22,928
- What's going on at the White House?
- What are you talking about?
528
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:25,889
I know Jim Gardner, and I know
when something's up with him.
529
00:29:25,973 --> 00:29:29,851
- Sounds like you know him pretty well.
- Something break while you were there?
530
00:29:29,935 --> 00:29:32,437
Nope. Didn't hear a thing.
531
00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:38,860
[door opening]
532
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:42,447
- Where are we with the rescue plan?
- Nowhere without the Chinese.
533
00:29:42,531 --> 00:29:44,533
We're waiting.
Let's presume we have 'em.
534
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,994
It still won't be easy, ma'am.
535
00:29:47,077 --> 00:29:50,205
The Seattle's turned
approximately 50 degrees.
536
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:53,208
That's why they couldn't use
the emergency escape vehicles.
537
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:55,085
We can't get to the main escape hatch.
538
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:57,421
Is there a secondary we have access to?
539
00:29:57,504 --> 00:30:00,090
Yeah. It's here.
540
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:02,634
But the Chinese hatches don't fit ours.
541
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:06,138
It's kinda like American plugs
in European sockets.
542
00:30:06,221 --> 00:30:07,723
So how do the two ships dock?
543
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:10,851
We'll equip the rescue vehicle
with a modular docking collar.
544
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:14,146
It'll bridge the gap. It's a tight fit.
There's no margin for error.
545
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:17,357
So the Chinese pilot
better know what he's doing.
546
00:30:17,441 --> 00:30:20,152
Assuming we'll have a Chinese pilot.
547
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:24,448
- I'll place another call.
- Will we have them?
548
00:30:24,531 --> 00:30:29,202
- We're running out of time, ma'am.
- We'll have an answer soon.
549
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,751
- Boning up for the morning briefing?
- Yeah. Anything I need to know?
550
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,378
Stock market's up.
Housing starts are down.
551
00:30:38,462 --> 00:30:41,089
- You wrote the starting points?
- Nothing's changed?
552
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,008
- I'm hearing rumors...
- What rumors?
553
00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:47,179
- Well, Southeast Asia, North Korea...
- Who are you hearing this from?
554
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,139
You're all holed up
in the Cabinet Room
555
00:30:49,222 --> 00:30:52,684
with Frances, Krieger, Shoop,
Navy brass. The East Asia team.
556
00:30:52,768 --> 00:30:56,063
President's back and forth to the
Sit Room. Person can connect dots.
557
00:30:56,146 --> 00:30:59,900
Secretary of state's in Bangalore.
We're working on labor deals.
558
00:30:59,983 --> 00:31:02,903
- That's the story?
- That's the truth, Kelly.
559
00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:05,697
Okay. I know how to answer
the question if I get it.
560
00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:08,116
Stock market's up.
Housing starts are down.
561
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,951
Mm-hmm.
562
00:31:15,457 --> 00:31:17,793
Isn't it about time
for lights out, dear?
563
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,629
Oh, sure, Grandma.
Just give me a second.
564
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,714
Um... Where's Mom and Dad?
565
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:24,966
[sighs] They're still working.
566
00:31:25,050 --> 00:31:27,469
Oh... big surprise.
567
00:31:27,552 --> 00:31:30,097
I'm sure it's important.
568
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:31,556
Yeah. Sure.
569
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,684
Very important.
The President of Mongolia is here,
570
00:31:34,768 --> 00:31:39,856
or stock market dropped a point,
or... Congressman needs his ass kissed.
571
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:42,275
Becca.
572
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:46,613
What? It's true.
It's what she does every day.
573
00:31:46,696 --> 00:31:49,366
Meanwhile, we stay here
and eat dinner... alone.
574
00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:51,743
And watch her on the news.
575
00:31:52,369 --> 00:31:54,704
If you weren't so
wrapped up in yourself,
576
00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:59,126
maybe you'd notice something
very serious is going on.
577
00:31:59,209 --> 00:32:02,295
Now I don't know what it is,
but I know this.
578
00:32:02,379 --> 00:32:03,588
When we're in trouble,
579
00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:06,967
there's no one I'd rather
see in charge than your mother.
580
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:11,263
And if you don't feel that way.
If you aren't proud to feel that way.
581
00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:13,306
Then I just don't know you.
582
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,272
I guess we feel differently.
583
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:24,276
I guess we do.
584
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:32,284
I can't sleep.
585
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:36,121
Well, let's see what
we can do about that.
586
00:32:49,384 --> 00:32:51,803
- Any word?
- Still waiting.
587
00:32:53,847 --> 00:32:58,143
Has she had anything to
eat since this started?
588
00:32:58,226 --> 00:33:02,147
- No.
- She needs to eat. And rest.
589
00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:03,565
This could be a long haul.
590
00:33:05,150 --> 00:33:07,152
I'll... I'll talk to her.
591
00:33:14,618 --> 00:33:16,953
About earlier.
I'm sorry if I flew off the handle.
592
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:20,582
But you touched a sore point.
I should have known about the sub.
593
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:22,709
Bridges liked to keep that to himself.
594
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:25,337
It's okay, Jim.
595
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:28,006
But somebody
has got to talk to the generals.
596
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:31,134
- This can't happen again.
- Agreed.
597
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:33,053
But once this is all over, all right?
598
00:33:33,887 --> 00:33:35,555
Sure.
599
00:33:39,142 --> 00:33:41,937
You could tell him I haven't
ruled out import sanctions
600
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:44,564
and we have
domestic industry to think of.
601
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:48,610
Right. I know you will.
602
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:50,987
Don't feel pressure
to make a deal on this trip.
603
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:55,116
I don't mind making them sweat a bit.
Good. Call me when you know.
604
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,080
Sorry, secretary of state's in Bangalore
and his day's just getting started.
605
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:02,249
I was just coming down to say goodnight.
606
00:34:02,332 --> 00:34:04,918
Aw. Sorry we never made it
up to the residence tonight.
607
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:08,547
Hey. It's fine. I'm...
I'm sure whatever it is, is important.
608
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:11,424
- It is.
- I know.
609
00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:14,052
Look, Mom. Um...
610
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:16,471
I was thinking about
what you said earlier and...
611
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:20,809
I know you're going to run.
I mean, it's your choice. Whatever.
612
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:23,103
You shouldn't change
your life because of me.
613
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:24,688
I get that.
614
00:34:24,771 --> 00:34:28,483
But you said that I wouldn't
have to be a part of the campaign
615
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:31,486
and... I... I really don't want to be.
616
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:34,614
Okay. I know it's hard
being in the spotlight.
617
00:34:34,698 --> 00:34:37,450
No, you don't, Mom.
618
00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:40,078
You are a natural at it.
You always have been.
619
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,622
I'm not like that.
620
00:34:42,706 --> 00:34:47,419
I... I don't like people staring at me,
and talking about me.
621
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:48,962
I just...
622
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,965
I want to have a normal life.
Mom, that's... that's all.
623
00:34:52,048 --> 00:34:55,635
Okay. Dad and I meant it when we said
you're not going to have to do anything
624
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,512
- you don't want to do.
- Okay.
625
00:34:58,847 --> 00:35:01,808
I mean, I'll... I'll be in college
in a year and a half anyway.
626
00:35:01,891 --> 00:35:05,270
- It's not like I'll be around.
- [door opening]
627
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:10,609
Ma'am, the speaker's here.
Everyone's waiting in the Cabinet Room.
628
00:35:12,277 --> 00:35:13,612
[both sigh]
629
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:17,282
- Baby, I'm so sorry.
- I'll see you in the morning.
630
00:35:19,075 --> 00:35:21,703
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
631
00:35:31,504 --> 00:35:34,507
- [indistinct chatter]
- [door opening]
632
00:35:36,718 --> 00:35:38,762
Mr. Speaker?
633
00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:41,389
It's a deal. Beijing's accepted it.
634
00:35:41,473 --> 00:35:46,811
They're gonna give us access to their
ships and underwater rescue technology.
635
00:35:47,771 --> 00:35:51,816
General, I'm signing authorization
for a covert joint rescue mission
636
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,152
with the Chinese:
Operation Homecoming.
637
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:55,695
- Let's get started.
- Yes.
638
00:35:55,779 --> 00:35:58,198
- What's our time-frame?
- We're ready on our end.
639
00:35:58,281 --> 00:35:59,908
Start prepping the Chinese now.
640
00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:02,911
- Rescue underway in nine hours.
- Good. Keep me posted.
641
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,996
- I want to at know every step.
- Of course.
642
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,457
Thank you, everyone.
643
00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:09,376
You've done a great job today.
644
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:12,420
Mr. Speaker, we couldn't have
done it without you.
645
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,130
- Thank you.
- Here, here.
646
00:36:14,214 --> 00:36:17,092
Hang on. We gotta get them out of there.
647
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:20,220
It's been a wonderful day.
Thank you for it. Congratulations.
648
00:36:20,303 --> 00:36:22,597
Anyone who can, go home.
649
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,725
Get some rest.
We'll hope for good news in the morning.
650
00:36:25,809 --> 00:36:27,060
Thank you.
651
00:36:35,819 --> 00:36:38,113
Ma'am.
652
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:41,241
All right. We need to get
General Krieger, Secretary Frances,
653
00:36:41,324 --> 00:36:43,618
and Director Shoop in
the Oval Office for a chat.
654
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:44,994
That should be pleasant.
655
00:36:45,078 --> 00:36:47,455
I was thinking maybe
I should talk to them myself.
656
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:49,708
I worked with them
under President Bridges.
657
00:36:49,791 --> 00:36:53,211
Let me put them on notice for you.
I can make them listen.
658
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:59,050
Okay.
659
00:37:06,808 --> 00:37:09,352
Gotta make a show of
slapping our wrists for her, Jim?
660
00:37:09,436 --> 00:37:12,230
You deceived the President
of the United States, Mills.
661
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:14,065
You think that merits a wrist-slap?
662
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:17,193
President Bridges approved.
We put through the paperwork.
663
00:37:17,277 --> 00:37:20,280
Don't tell me about paperwork.
Don't tell me about Bridges.
664
00:37:20,363 --> 00:37:23,825
I worked for Bridges, but we all serve
at the pleasure of the president.
665
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,828
This president.
666
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:30,707
She could pull your stars, retire you.
She could transfer you to Prudhoe Bay.
667
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:32,959
But you know what she did?
668
00:37:33,042 --> 00:37:36,838
She made a deal with the Chinese
to save our sailors.
669
00:37:36,921 --> 00:37:40,049
Didn't pass the buck. Put herself
on the line for your screw-up.
670
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:41,801
You're going to owe her for that.
671
00:37:44,471 --> 00:37:48,558
Let me tell you how it's going
to be from now on. No more CYA memos.
672
00:37:48,641 --> 00:37:52,604
No shortcuts. No surprises.
You give her your respect.
673
00:37:53,521 --> 00:37:55,440
Because if nothing else...
674
00:37:57,192 --> 00:37:59,194
...she earned it today.
675
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:17,796
Hey, sweetheart.
What are doing still up?
676
00:38:17,879 --> 00:38:20,006
Oh... waiting for you.
677
00:38:20,089 --> 00:38:22,592
The office didn't tell you
I was going to be late?
678
00:38:22,675 --> 00:38:25,678
Yeah, yeah. No. They called,
but I had plenty of things to do.
679
00:38:25,762 --> 00:38:27,806
I wanted to wait up for you.
680
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:30,475
So... how was your day?
681
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:36,689
It was a hell of a day, actually.
682
00:38:37,774 --> 00:38:40,860
It went well, in the end,
I think. I hope.
683
00:38:41,903 --> 00:38:43,196
And Jayne?
684
00:38:44,656 --> 00:38:46,699
Oh, bloody hell. I forgot about that.
685
00:38:46,783 --> 00:38:49,410
She turned me down flat.
686
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:50,829
Said I'd hurt her feelings.
687
00:38:50,912 --> 00:38:53,665
Well, she looked up to you
and you fired her.
688
00:38:53,748 --> 00:38:56,626
- Sarah.
- Well, she has her pride.
689
00:38:56,709 --> 00:39:00,004
I know that you can relate to that.
690
00:39:00,088 --> 00:39:02,090
Very funny.
691
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:05,468
She wouldn't even acknowledge
that she had betrayed my trust.
692
00:39:05,552 --> 00:39:08,596
With Jim Gardner, for heaven's sakes.
693
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,141
You know, I don't know whether
I can forgive her for that.
694
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:15,144
Give it time. She'll come around.
695
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:16,938
I don't think so.
696
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:21,276
I saw that look in her eyes.
She called me "Mr. Speaker."
697
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:24,445
That's a long way from "Boss."
I liked "Boss."
698
00:39:24,529 --> 00:39:28,575
She's not coming back.
And I don't think I want her back.
699
00:39:28,658 --> 00:39:30,493
Nathan...
700
00:39:30,577 --> 00:39:32,996
By any measure,
she is wrong and I am right.
701
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:35,373
- You know I am right.
- Oh, you want to be right?
702
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:42,505
- Or you want to be happy?
- [exhaling loudly]
703
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:57,979
- How are you feeling?
- Hmm.
704
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:02,066
I'll feel better when the rescue's over,
and our sub crew is headed home.
705
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,777
Well, you did a great job today.
706
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:08,656
Maybe I shouldn't run.
707
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:11,284
- Mac!
- We're parents first.
708
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,161
Look, Becca's a teenager.
709
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:16,122
She's going to go through
these phases no matter what we do.
710
00:40:16,205 --> 00:40:19,542
This isn't a phase. There's going
to be pressure to trot them out.
711
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:21,044
She'll be fine.
712
00:40:21,127 --> 00:40:23,796
I want her to be more than fine.
I want her to flourish...
713
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,342
She will. Look,
I'm not saying it's not a sacrifice,
714
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,845
but she will come to see there are
things in life worth sacrificing for.
715
00:40:30,929 --> 00:40:33,139
- They all will.
- That's assuming I win.
716
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:35,725
- What if I don't?
- You'll win.
717
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:38,603
I'm not so sure.
All the money we have to raise.
718
00:40:38,686 --> 00:40:40,438
Things to do to get on the ballot.
719
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:43,524
I could work my
ass off and still place third.
720
00:40:43,608 --> 00:40:46,361
- Is that worth the sacrifice?
- If you commit...
721
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,696
I mean, if you really commit to this.
722
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:50,615
You're going to win.
723
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:56,204
We're going to look back on this.
In two years. In six years...
724
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:58,122
[telephone ringing]
725
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:06,756
Yes. Vince.
726
00:41:06,839 --> 00:41:09,133
Turn on the news.
727
00:41:09,217 --> 00:41:11,386
Get him on the line as soon as possible.
728
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:15,181
North Korean State Television says
the American nuclear submarine
729
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:17,976
was operating within its waters
when it went down...
730
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:20,687
- My God...
- No confirmation from the White House,
731
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:24,357
but the North Koreans are already
calling the incursion an act of war.
732
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,235
- [Vince] Madam President.
- How the hell did they find out?
733
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:29,779
- We don't know yet.
- Have they located our sub?
734
00:41:29,862 --> 00:41:32,407
We don't know.
The sub's been silent for three hours.
735
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:35,326
- They're trained to stay hidden.
- Okay. What do we know?
736
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:37,370
North Korea's put their troops on alert.
737
00:41:37,453 --> 00:41:39,872
Our satellites are tracking
missile launchers
738
00:41:39,956 --> 00:41:41,249
moving toward the border.
739
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:43,418
We don't know if they
have nuclear weapons,
740
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:45,712
but in this scenario
we can't rule it out.
741
00:41:45,795 --> 00:41:48,381
I'll be down at the Sit Room right away.
742
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:52,010
Madam President, the North Koreans
keep using the phrase "act of war."
743
00:41:52,093 --> 00:41:54,429
Could be rhetoric,
but we need to be ready.
744
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:58,975
The generals are suggesting we put our
Northeast Asian forces on DEFCON 3.
745
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:02,103
Move them into strategic readiness
for a North Korean attack.
746
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:05,106
Don't do anything yet.
I'm on my way.
