1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:01,719
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:01,785 --> 00:00:03,187
Templeton's boxing us in.
3
00:00:03,254 --> 00:00:05,222
Templeton is not choosing
my vice president.
4
00:00:05,289 --> 00:00:07,691
If you want a man
who's worth a damn in this job,
5
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:09,560
you gotta make
this job worth a damn.
6
00:00:09,627 --> 00:00:12,730
I'm serious, Mom. You should,
um, move in here with us.
7
00:00:12,796 --> 00:00:17,067
I am moving out of the West Wing and
back to the first gentleman's office.
8
00:00:17,134 --> 00:00:19,003
Do you think what
you did was right?
9
00:00:19,069 --> 00:00:21,338
I am not gonna have
trouble sleeping tonight.
10
00:00:21,405 --> 00:00:23,274
You are relieved of your duties.
11
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:27,444
See what happens when she
tries to get her nominees confirmed.
12
00:00:27,511 --> 00:00:29,780
- It ends.
- It's just begun.
13
00:00:37,087 --> 00:00:38,989
[siren blares]
14
00:00:42,126 --> 00:00:45,529
[Rod] Attorney General Brantley.
How does that sound, Carl?
15
00:00:45,596 --> 00:00:47,598
Not bad, not bad.
16
00:00:47,665 --> 00:00:49,934
The kids are happy
with the public schools?
17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,069
Logan's a little nervous
about the move.
18
00:00:52,136 --> 00:00:53,637
Schools are good.
19
00:00:53,704 --> 00:00:55,773
Are you selling
that great house of yours?
20
00:00:55,839 --> 00:00:58,809
We got three offers on it
the day you nominated me.
21
00:00:58,876 --> 00:01:01,645
I couldn't believe
we sold it just like that.
22
00:01:01,712 --> 00:01:03,647
What if he doesn't get confirmed?
23
00:01:03,714 --> 00:01:08,085
[Rod] He ran for governor as
a Republican. The party was behind him.
24
00:01:08,152 --> 00:01:11,422
The committee is majority Republican,
so he is de facto vetted.
25
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:16,694
Sounds so easy. I don't know why
I am perpetually nervous about it.
26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,631
For tonight, let's just relax
and have a nice, quiet dinner out.
27
00:01:20,698 --> 00:01:23,567
- [yelling]
- Madam President.
28
00:01:26,904 --> 00:01:30,007
[woman] Mr. Brantley,
how does it feel to be nominated?
29
00:01:30,074 --> 00:01:32,943
Just a nice, quiet dinner out.
30
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,079
[commotion continues]
31
00:01:35,145 --> 00:01:37,314
- [woman on TV] In other news...
- [knocking]
32
00:01:37,381 --> 00:01:40,084
Come on in.
33
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:43,621
- A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Addison.
- Oh, please. Lance.
34
00:01:43,687 --> 00:01:46,490
Jayne, turn off those televisions.
Come. Sit down.
35
00:01:46,557 --> 00:01:48,959
Sorry it's so damned late.
36
00:01:49,026 --> 00:01:51,362
Day's schedule's been chock-a-block.
37
00:01:51,428 --> 00:01:53,731
Please. Mr. Speaker, my pleasure.
38
00:01:53,797 --> 00:01:57,434
- I'd make time for you at any hour.
- Lance is the best campaign guy around.
39
00:01:57,501 --> 00:02:00,137
Got Lawson elected, Calvino,
40
00:02:00,204 --> 00:02:03,073
- Riggs in Montana.
- Riggs?
41
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:05,175
- You ran a good race.
- Thank you, sir.
42
00:02:05,242 --> 00:02:07,111
I'd love a chance to work with you.
43
00:02:07,177 --> 00:02:09,647
I think you're the best
presidential candidate.
44
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:10,881
Thank you.
45
00:02:11,448 --> 00:02:15,052
Before Calvino, I ran Marcia Tucker's
gubernatorial bid in Connecticut.
46
00:02:15,119 --> 00:02:18,555
- Took on Carl Brantley in the primary.
- [Templeton] Oh, Mr. Brantley.
47
00:02:18,622 --> 00:02:22,026
Madam President's best friend,
her choice for attorney general.
48
00:02:22,092 --> 00:02:24,762
Yes. I did opposition
research on Brantley.
49
00:02:24,828 --> 00:02:28,799
We never used it. Tucker dropped out,
and we didn't want to damage Brantley.
50
00:02:28,866 --> 00:02:29,900
What'd you find?
51
00:02:29,967 --> 00:02:33,837
One of his first political appointments
was the Connecticut parole board.
52
00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:36,774
- [laughs]
- Now, during the four years he served,
53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,710
they granted parole
to almost 15,000 inmates.
54
00:02:39,777 --> 00:02:42,880
These are the briefs
for the cases we found,
55
00:02:42,946 --> 00:02:44,581
and the best one's on top.
56
00:02:45,416 --> 00:02:46,850
Proud boy.
57
00:02:47,418 --> 00:02:52,323
Somebody gets paroled or furloughed,
and then they commit a crime.
58
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:54,892
- Lenox Walsh.
- What did he do?
59
00:02:54,958 --> 00:02:57,661
Shot an 82-year-old grandmother
in the face.
60
00:02:57,728 --> 00:02:59,396
[inhales deeply] Hmm.
61
00:02:59,463 --> 00:03:01,732
What can I say?
You've had a stellar career.
62
00:03:01,799 --> 00:03:05,536
No, no, no. Ending up here,
that's stellar.
63
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:08,539
Being the AG of Connecticut,
that falls somewhere between,
64
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:10,674
uh, pretty good
and not too shabby.
65
00:03:10,741 --> 00:03:14,011
Fast forward two weeks,
attorney general of the United States.
66
00:03:15,346 --> 00:03:18,582
OK, well, that gets
into stellar territory.
67
00:03:19,783 --> 00:03:22,953
Tell the truth.
How is Sue doing with all this?
68
00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:25,556
Well, she's not pleased
about leaving Hartford,
69
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:28,192
but she... she does know
how much this means to me.
70
00:03:28,258 --> 00:03:31,795
And to me, I hope.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Carl.
71
00:03:31,862 --> 00:03:34,365
Every day around here is hard,
72
00:03:34,431 --> 00:03:38,535
24/7 in a way...
I can't even begin to describe.
73
00:03:38,602 --> 00:03:42,339
It's so important to me to have people
who are at the top of their game.
74
00:03:42,406 --> 00:03:44,942
People I trust.
75
00:03:47,711 --> 00:03:50,914
So tomorrow is gonna be
a hell of a long day for you,
76
00:03:50,981 --> 00:03:54,718
but if I can swing it, I'm gonna have
my VP give you a few pointers.
77
00:03:54,785 --> 00:03:58,555
You recall he went a couple of rounds
with the Senate at his confirmation.
78
00:03:58,622 --> 00:04:00,391
You'll sic General Keaton on me?
79
00:04:00,457 --> 00:04:02,726
He'll chew me up before
I get through the doors.
80
00:04:02,793 --> 00:04:04,995
Be good for you, toughen you up.
81
00:04:05,062 --> 00:04:07,631
Remember how I used
to kick your ass at Ms. Pac-Man?
82
00:04:07,698 --> 00:04:10,100
Oh, yeah. And foosball.
83
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:11,835
Well, who'd have thunk it?
84
00:04:11,902 --> 00:04:15,839
Mac Allen,
queen of the Hartford Arcade...
85
00:04:15,906 --> 00:04:18,375
...president of the United States.
86
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:23,614
It was the first gentleman's choice
to withdraw from the president's staff.
87
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,783
[man chattering over earpiece]
88
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:29,052
Would you be asking these
questions if the president's spouse
89
00:04:29,119 --> 00:04:31,455
were female and the president male?
90
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:35,292
Mr. Calloway is an
accomplished, talented individual.
91
00:04:35,359 --> 00:04:37,394
He's also a loving father
and, yes,
92
00:04:37,461 --> 00:04:40,731
he's the husband to
the president of the United States.
93
00:04:40,798 --> 00:04:45,068
You seem to have a hard time
reconciling these roles. He doesn't.
94
00:04:45,135 --> 00:04:46,937
- [man] Thank you.
- OK. Thank you.
95
00:04:47,004 --> 00:04:49,339
Anytime.
96
00:04:50,207 --> 00:04:51,708
- Clear?
- [man] All clear.
97
00:04:54,178 --> 00:04:56,547
- That was great.
- For your boss or mine?
98
00:04:56,613 --> 00:04:58,215
Ours.
99
00:04:58,282 --> 00:05:02,019
The longer I know you, the creepier you
are. Have you been lurking back there?
100
00:05:02,085 --> 00:05:04,621
I'm a political consultant.
'Course I'm creepy.
101
00:05:04,688 --> 00:05:06,457
- You see my memo?
- [sighs] Yep.
102
00:05:06,523 --> 00:05:10,060
We have to sell Brantley as
toughest sheriff east of the Pecos,
103
00:05:10,127 --> 00:05:12,463
231 convictions, pro-death penalty.
104
00:05:12,529 --> 00:05:14,731
Nice job with
the first gentleman question.
105
00:05:14,798 --> 00:05:16,900
I'd have called the guy a sexist.
106
00:05:16,967 --> 00:05:19,570
That's the difference
between you and me.
107
00:05:19,636 --> 00:05:23,207
I'm the press secretary. You're not.
108
00:05:23,273 --> 00:05:26,877
And a fine one at that,
but there's being sincere and truthful,
109
00:05:26,944 --> 00:05:29,146
and there's being effective.
110
00:05:36,787 --> 00:05:39,756
My mother was at
an ATM to get money
111
00:05:39,823 --> 00:05:43,794
to buy a birthday present for my
daughter, her youngest grandchild.
112
00:05:43,861 --> 00:05:46,563
The bank's security cameras
recorded the whole thing.
113
00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:49,266
A man came up with a gun.
114
00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:52,402
She cooperated, gave him her money.
115
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:54,838
And then she started begging.
116
00:05:54,905 --> 00:05:58,475
I can only imagine
what she was saying when he...
117
00:05:58,542 --> 00:06:01,178
- ...shot her in the face.
- [reporters] Mrs. Maxwell!
118
00:06:01,245 --> 00:06:04,915
Are you calling on the president to
withdraw Brantley as her nominee?
119
00:06:04,982 --> 00:06:06,950
Justice for Victims is a family group.
120
00:06:07,017 --> 00:06:09,119
We're not telling
the president what to do.
121
00:06:09,186 --> 00:06:11,755
We're just here
to simply let people know
122
00:06:11,822 --> 00:06:13,924
how victims of crime feel.
123
00:06:13,991 --> 00:06:18,228
Mrs. Maxwell, as a victim of crime, how
do you feel about Brantley's nomination
124
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:22,032
to the highest law enforcement
position in the nation?
125
00:06:24,001 --> 00:06:28,305
Lenox Walsh was in prison
until Carl Brantley paroled him.
126
00:06:28,372 --> 00:06:30,207
A month later, he killed my mother.
127
00:06:30,274 --> 00:06:34,044
To the president,
Carl Brantley is an old friend.
128
00:06:34,111 --> 00:06:38,215
To me, he's the reason
my mother was murdered.
129
00:06:38,282 --> 00:06:41,418
[man] A victims' rights group
charged the president with cronyism
130
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:44,421
and being soft on crime
after it was revealed
131
00:06:44,488 --> 00:06:48,292
that Brantley, her attorney general
nominee was responsible for the parole
132
00:06:48,358 --> 00:06:51,695
of a man who subsequently murdered
a Connecticut grandmother...
133
00:06:51,762 --> 00:06:55,399
- Game on.
- It's a start. What's next?
134
00:06:55,465 --> 00:06:58,068
...Senator Joe Peck,
chairing Brantley's hearing.
135
00:06:58,265 --> 00:07:01,138
We should talk to Joe Peck.
Make sure we're on the same page.
136
00:07:01,204 --> 00:07:03,574
I've already got Lance setting it up.
137
00:07:04,708 --> 00:07:06,977
Good girl.
138
00:07:07,044 --> 00:07:11,181
Gonna be an interesting day
at Mackenzie Allen's White House.
139
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:38,642
[sprinklers rotating]
140
00:07:42,346 --> 00:07:44,414
Kelly, don't take it personally,
141
00:07:44,481 --> 00:07:48,151
but I hate when I see you waiting for me
first thing in the morning.
142
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:50,153
A group called Justice for Victims
143
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,023
just did a little dog-and-pony
show on the Capitol steps.
144
00:07:53,090 --> 00:07:56,994
You can't go ten feet without somebody
with a picket sign and a problem.
145
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,098
Their problem's Carl Brantley. They're
calling him soft on crime, thereby...
146
00:08:01,164 --> 00:08:04,568
Painting me as soft on crime.
All right, what did we do?
147
00:08:04,635 --> 00:08:07,337
Paroled a man who went on
to kill an elderly lady.
148
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:09,306
- Good morning.
- Thank you.
149
00:08:09,373 --> 00:08:12,476
Well, it's an unfortunate reality,
150
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:15,278
but some parolees go on
to commit another crime.
151
00:08:15,345 --> 00:08:17,781
Did they mention when Carl
served with me as D.A.,
152
00:08:17,848 --> 00:08:21,284
he put more criminals behind bars
than anyone in Connecticut history?
153
00:08:21,351 --> 00:08:23,754
Thanks. You wrote
my morning talking points.
154
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,590
Mm... wanna trade jobs?
155
00:08:26,657 --> 00:08:30,494
As stressful as my jobs is,
I think yours is a little harder.
156
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,396
Kelly, Carl's a good man.
157
00:08:32,462 --> 00:08:35,832
- I'm counting on you to hold the line.
- Always.
158
00:08:35,899 --> 00:08:38,435
- Ma'am, they're ready in the Sit Room.
- Thank you.
159
00:08:38,502 --> 00:08:41,138
- Make sure the vice president joins us.
- Yes, ma'am.
160
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:45,275
- [beeping]
- [chattering]
161
00:08:45,342 --> 00:08:47,044
- General.
- [man] Morning, madam.
162
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:48,245
Warren, how are you?
163
00:08:48,311 --> 00:08:51,515
I was fine until I heard about this
situation with the cargo plane.
164
00:08:51,581 --> 00:08:55,619
Yesterday a KC-130 cargo aircraft
experienced mechanical difficulties.
165
00:08:55,686 --> 00:08:59,022
They put down for maintenance on
Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
166
00:08:59,089 --> 00:09:01,958
He checked out fine,
he took off this morning.
167
00:09:02,025 --> 00:09:05,128
About an hour later, the pilot
missed calling in his waypoints
168
00:09:05,195 --> 00:09:07,597
- then missed a refueling rendezvous.
- Crashed?
169
00:09:07,664 --> 00:09:10,133
We've got searchers
going over the flight route,
170
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,469
but we haven't found a crash site.
171
00:09:12,536 --> 00:09:14,871
But there's an added problem, ma'am.
172
00:09:14,938 --> 00:09:18,008
- What was on board?
- Most of the cargo was routine stuff.
173
00:09:18,075 --> 00:09:20,711
It was spare parts,
body armor, things like that.
174
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:24,681
However, we also had a shipment
of 100 of our latest generation
175
00:09:24,748 --> 00:09:28,318
- Block III Stinger missiles.
- Handheld missile launchers.
176
00:09:28,385 --> 00:09:31,722
We're doing everything we can
to locate and secure the cargo.
177
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:35,092
With your permission, I'll stay
on top of this on your behalf.
178
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:38,328
Keep me posted.
179
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,466
Oh, it might rain.
Shouldn't you have an umbrella?
180
00:09:42,532 --> 00:09:44,301
Guys don't use umbrellas, Grandma.
181
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:46,703
Does that mean
I won't have my soccer practice?
182
00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:49,306
Mm, probably not.
Are you ready for your trig exam?
183
00:09:49,372 --> 00:09:52,075
- [Amy] What's trig?
- Fancy math. I think I need a tutor.
184
00:09:52,142 --> 00:09:55,445
- Uh, I'm good at numbers.
- [Rebecca] Ask Stacy for help.
185
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:56,980
- Good luck on your test.
- Bye.
186
00:09:57,047 --> 00:09:58,915
- Have a nice day.
- [Rebecca] You too.
187
00:09:58,982 --> 00:10:01,151
Oh. See you later, alligator.
188
00:10:01,218 --> 00:10:05,255
- What are you gonna do till then?
- Oh... well, um...
189
00:10:05,322 --> 00:10:09,693
I... I'm not really sure.
I was thinking maybe I might...
190
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,661
- ...I don't know...
- I gotta go. Bye!
191
00:10:11,728 --> 00:10:14,464
Oh... bye.
192
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:17,400
Let's put it this way.
193
00:10:17,467 --> 00:10:19,970
The president and I
had a different vision
194
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:21,805
on how best to run the country.
195
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:26,576
I wanted to enforce the law of the land
as I had under President Bridges.
196
00:10:26,643 --> 00:10:28,345
- And she?
- She wants to fire anyone
197
00:10:28,411 --> 00:10:31,782
who voices a dissenting opinion
or takes a tougher stand than hers.
198
00:10:31,848 --> 00:10:33,917
Here is the reality
of the modern world.
199
00:10:33,984 --> 00:10:35,619
A criminal's civil rights
200
00:10:35,685 --> 00:10:38,455
cannot outweigh
the rights and safety
201
00:10:38,522 --> 00:10:41,591
we guarantee
our law-abiding citizens.
202
00:10:41,658 --> 00:10:43,693
In other words, she's soft on crime.
203
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,529
Yeah. She's hard on her staff.
204
00:10:45,595 --> 00:10:49,399
I think that's why she surrounds herself
with less than experienced hands.
205
00:10:49,466 --> 00:10:52,569
Are you saying Carl Brantley
isn't qualified?
206
00:10:52,636 --> 00:10:55,238
Well, not if being qualified
means being her buddy.
207
00:10:55,305 --> 00:10:58,909
I mean, come on, it took her
six months to nominate her best friend?
208
00:10:58,975 --> 00:11:03,013
- [Mac] So it's a coordinated attack.
- Melanie's reputation precedes her.
209
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:05,382
It's sour grapes
and will be taken that way.
210
00:11:05,448 --> 00:11:06,883
Frankly, she's irrelevant.
211
00:11:06,950 --> 00:11:10,020
She's the former attorney general
commenting on the nominee.
212
00:11:10,086 --> 00:11:12,923
And she's bringing home
a twofer for the Templeton camp.
213
00:11:12,989 --> 00:11:16,193
The president's soft
on crime and big on cronyism.
214
00:11:16,259 --> 00:11:18,929
[sighs] What about this
Ilene Maxwell? Her claim.
215
00:11:18,995 --> 00:11:20,697
The guy was in jail for petty theft.
216
00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:22,933
No one could have predicted
he'd take up meth
217
00:11:22,999 --> 00:11:25,001
and become homicidal after parole.
218
00:11:25,068 --> 00:11:28,705
The White House takes a defensive
stance, it'll be perceived as just that,
219
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:32,609
defensive. I say no comment.
It's one case with a freak outcome.
220
00:11:32,676 --> 00:11:35,312
My opinion? Nominate
the deputy attorney general.
221
00:11:35,378 --> 00:11:38,181
Someone already doing the job.
Harder to remove.
222
00:11:39,382 --> 00:11:42,419
I'm standing by my nominee.
Get parole board statements,
223
00:11:42,485 --> 00:11:46,590
go over the record, prepare
talking points. I'm not backing down.
224
00:11:46,656 --> 00:11:48,558
Yes, ma'am.
225
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,262
- Ma'am?
- He can handle
226
00:11:52,329 --> 00:11:54,431
whatever they throw his way.
227
00:11:54,497 --> 00:11:57,300
- He's committed to staying the course?
- [knocking]
228
00:11:57,367 --> 00:11:59,736
Warren. Tell me you're
here with good news.
229
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:02,873
- I wish to hell I could.
- We located the missing aircraft yet?
230
00:12:02,939 --> 00:12:07,544
We have Global Hawk UAVs flying
a grid at 65,000 feet over the area.
231
00:12:07,611 --> 00:12:09,312
We haven't found a crash site.
232
00:12:09,379 --> 00:12:13,850
Given the nature of the terrain, it's
highly unlikely we'll find survivors.
233
00:12:13,917 --> 00:12:15,785
- At least, in time.
- We're sure?
234
00:12:15,852 --> 00:12:20,156
Yes, ma'am. I know that American
casualties are hard to stomach,
235
00:12:20,223 --> 00:12:23,226
but we have to turn
our attention to this weapons cache.
236
00:12:23,293 --> 00:12:26,930
Block III weighs 15 pounds. It's
easier to use than a digital camera.
237
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:31,668
A terrorist, hell, a teenager, could
take himself to the Memorial Bridge,
238
00:12:31,735 --> 00:12:36,373
wait for a jet to leave Reagan National
and blow it out of the sky.
239
00:12:36,439 --> 00:12:39,509
I don't need to tell you
how grave a situation this could be.
240
00:12:39,576 --> 00:12:42,379
And if we fly low-flying planes
or helicopters in there,
241
00:12:42,445 --> 00:12:44,915
we risk the wrath
of the Pakistani government.
242
00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:48,885
I just know we have to get
those weapons back. Let's do it.
243
00:12:54,925 --> 00:12:59,129
[man] And after the brutal murder
of Audrey Maxwell by a killer,
244
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:00,964
you and your parole board set free,
245
00:13:01,031 --> 00:13:06,002
you didn't think of offering some
sort of apology to her family?
246
00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:10,674
To be honest, the first I heard
of this case was this morning.
247
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:14,978
You don't recall the case?
It... it wasn't important?
248
00:13:15,045 --> 00:13:18,748
The board reviewed
thousands of cases a year.
249
00:13:18,815 --> 00:13:20,684
At the time this was a petty thief.
250
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:23,653
He became a cold-blooded killer.
251
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,156
You don't think
parole boards should follow up?
252
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:29,559
Say, when an innocent
grandmother gets shot in the face?
253
00:13:29,626 --> 00:13:31,494
[Carl] The system does follow up.
254
00:13:31,561 --> 00:13:33,396
But there's no mechanism in place
255
00:13:33,463 --> 00:13:36,566
that would allow
an individual parole board member,
256
00:13:36,633 --> 00:13:39,569
uh, to track decade-old cases.
257
00:13:39,636 --> 00:13:41,604
And you know that, senator.
258
00:13:41,671 --> 00:13:44,107
So is your position that
259
00:13:44,174 --> 00:13:46,743
no one is responsible
for this sort of mistake?
260
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:50,914
As a society we're just to... accept it?
261
00:13:50,981 --> 00:13:54,417
Would that be your position
as attorney general?
262
00:13:57,554 --> 00:14:00,857
He's a good man with a strong record,
a conservative prosecutor.
263
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:03,259
He shot an 82-year-old
grandmother in the face.
264
00:14:03,326 --> 00:14:05,929
No, he didn't shoot anyone.
He sat on a parole board
265
00:14:05,996 --> 00:14:08,932
that reviewed thousands of cases.
Of those, one person...
266
00:14:08,999 --> 00:14:11,768
Shot an 82-year-old
grandmother in the face.
267
00:14:11,835 --> 00:14:14,938
- Why do you keep saying that?
- Oh, I don't know.
268
00:14:15,005 --> 00:14:17,374
It's catchy?
It's got a certain ring?
269
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,576
Because we better
get used to hearing it.
270
00:14:19,642 --> 00:14:22,045
They tested those words.
Every variation.
271
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:25,048
Killed an old lady.
Murdered a woman for $300.
272
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:27,150
They tested it all. But when they got
273
00:14:27,217 --> 00:14:30,887
to "shot an 82-year-old grandmother
in the face," it blew off the charts.
274
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:33,890
- Doesn't make them right.
- It doesn't matter what happened
275
00:14:33,957 --> 00:14:37,394
or who he is or what kind of attorney
general he'd make. He's going down.
276
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:40,096
The only question is
whether we go down with him.
277
00:14:48,171 --> 00:14:50,507
Daddy, have you seen Grandma?
278
00:14:50,573 --> 00:14:52,909
No, I haven't.
279
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:55,812
She's always here
when get home from school.
280
00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:58,948
- [sighs] Did you check the kitchen?
- Yep.
281
00:14:59,015 --> 00:15:00,884
OK, and her room?
282
00:15:02,952 --> 00:15:06,089
- Maybe she went out for a walk.
- She doesn't like to walk.
283
00:15:06,156 --> 00:15:07,957
It hurts her feet.
284
00:15:08,024 --> 00:15:10,627
Well, I am sure
that she is here somewhere.
285
00:15:10,693 --> 00:15:14,364
I don't think so. She took her purse.
286
00:15:15,732 --> 00:15:18,435
I hate political polling.
287
00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:22,672
Focus groups make my skin crawl.
288
00:15:22,739 --> 00:15:24,441
That being said,
289
00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:26,843
we had Lance Addison
run a little poll for us.
290
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:35,819
The majority of Americans think
it's wrong to set criminals free.
291
00:15:35,885 --> 00:15:37,720
Shocking, isn't it?
292
00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:40,924
I have to hand it to you.
293
00:15:40,990 --> 00:15:43,927
You really made dollar out
of a dime with Brantley's record.
294
00:15:43,993 --> 00:15:46,129
Thanks to your gracious participation.
295
00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:49,365
Well, anything to help
in your toe-to-toe with our president.
296
00:15:49,432 --> 00:15:51,634
Current president.
297
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:57,373
Her Lance did another poll.
It seems, contrary to Ms. Allen,
298
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,810
that the American people feel
you cut quite an impressive figure.
299
00:16:00,877 --> 00:16:03,546
You tested ten points higher
than the mayor of New York
300
00:16:03,613 --> 00:16:06,983
when asked who was tougher on crime.
301
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:09,986
Well, like they say,
hindsight's twenty-twenty.
302
00:16:10,053 --> 00:16:12,455
Well, I look both ways, Melanie.
303
00:16:12,522 --> 00:16:15,625
And to my mind,
you were robbed.
304
00:16:16,593 --> 00:16:19,229
You were robbed of your dignity,
of your position.
305
00:16:19,295 --> 00:16:21,498
American people were
robbed of your wisdom,
306
00:16:21,564 --> 00:16:24,300
of the clarity of your decision-making
307
00:16:24,367 --> 00:16:26,603
when she removed you
as attorney general.
308
00:16:26,669 --> 00:16:28,605
Well, you won't get an argument from me.
309
00:16:28,671 --> 00:16:30,673
Well, it is my hope
310
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:34,744
that in one year...
311
00:16:34,811 --> 00:16:38,047
...you will be returned
to you rightful position
312
00:16:38,114 --> 00:16:39,649
at the White House,
313
00:16:39,716 --> 00:16:43,086
as the highest law
enforcement officer in the land.
314
00:16:48,725 --> 00:16:50,326
- That's great. Thank you.
- OK.
315
00:16:50,393 --> 00:16:52,929
- Hey.
- Hey. I'm sorry I missed dinner.
316
00:16:52,996 --> 00:16:55,165
- Things have been so crazy.
- Yeah, look, uh,
317
00:16:55,231 --> 00:16:58,668
I know you've got a lot on your plate,
but have you spoken to your mother?
318
00:16:58,735 --> 00:17:01,371
- Not since breakfast.
- She mention going somewhere?
319
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:04,207
- No. What's going on?
- Oh, nothing, nothing.
320
00:17:04,274 --> 00:17:07,510
Just, uh, having
a hard time finding her.
321
00:17:09,412 --> 00:17:12,615
At 1:24 this afternoon,
Mrs. Allen exited the residence
322
00:17:12,682 --> 00:17:16,352
through the Diplomatic Reception Room
and through the southwest gate.
323
00:17:16,419 --> 00:17:19,055
And she hasn't signed back in?
324
00:17:19,122 --> 00:17:20,256
Ma'am, if I may...
325
00:17:20,323 --> 00:17:24,060
...I have every reason to believe
Mrs. Allen is safe and secure.
326
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:28,965
- I'd suggest we just... sit tight.
- Why? Do you know something we don't?
327
00:17:30,767 --> 00:17:33,870
Ma'am, when Mrs. Allen left,
she gave the agent on duty
328
00:17:33,937 --> 00:17:37,707
an address and phone number where
she could be reached in emergency.
329
00:17:37,774 --> 00:17:41,611
- Asked us to respect her privacy.
- Why didn't you tell me that?
330
00:17:41,678 --> 00:17:45,481
She also asked that
we not tell her daughter.
331
00:17:46,249 --> 00:17:49,886
[Rod] Well, the Service
thinks she's fine.
332
00:17:49,953 --> 00:17:51,421
She's a grown woman.
333
00:17:55,258 --> 00:17:57,694
All right. I want to know
the second she gets back.
334
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,196
I'll see to it. Ma'am. Sir.
335
00:18:05,235 --> 00:18:07,503
- Ma'am?
- Let me guess. Sit Room.
336
00:18:09,906 --> 00:18:12,875
One of the UAVs has picked up
a significant heat signature
337
00:18:12,942 --> 00:18:16,479
here in southern Hindu Kush. It's
what we'd expect if we had C-130 down.
338
00:18:16,546 --> 00:18:19,649
Problem is, those hills
are crawling with terrorists.
339
00:18:19,716 --> 00:18:23,052
There's a lot of very bad people
making a beeline for that plane.
340
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,722
- Can we secure the cargo?
- We can get special forces
341
00:18:25,788 --> 00:18:28,024
and munitions recovery guys
in 12 hours.
342
00:18:28,091 --> 00:18:31,194
If terrorists have recovered
the antiaircraft missiles,
343
00:18:31,261 --> 00:18:33,663
we'd be sending our planes
on a suicide mission.
344
00:18:33,730 --> 00:18:36,833
- Intelligence estimate, they aware?
- Hasn't made the papers.
345
00:18:36,899 --> 00:18:39,335
Well, with any luck,
it never will.
346
00:18:39,402 --> 00:18:42,205
Let's just get in and out of there
as quickly as we can.
347
00:18:42,272 --> 00:18:45,608
The president took time out
with AmeriCorps leaders today
348
00:18:45,675 --> 00:18:47,877
to defend her nominee
for attorney general.
349
00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:50,013
I'm only sorry that my opponents
350
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,815
have manipulated a family's tragedy
351
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:56,352
into an attack on a man who would make
an outstanding attorney general.
352
00:18:56,419 --> 00:18:58,888
And I urge the public
and the press
353
00:18:58,955 --> 00:19:02,825
to look at Carl Brantley's full career
dedicated to law enforcement
354
00:19:02,892 --> 00:19:05,561
rather than one case
taken out of context.
355
00:19:05,628 --> 00:19:08,231
Ilene Maxwell, daughter
of the slain woman,
356
00:19:08,298 --> 00:19:10,933
disagreed with the president's
characterization.
357
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,904
The only context our family needs is
that my mother was murdered.
358
00:19:14,971 --> 00:19:19,175
Victims for Justice today released
footage from an ATM security camera
359
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:22,345
which captured the murder
of grandmother, Audrey Maxwell.
360
00:19:22,412 --> 00:19:27,450
We should warn viewers this footage
is graphic, violent and disturbing.
361
00:19:27,517 --> 00:19:28,618
[Sue] Turn it off.
362
00:19:30,953 --> 00:19:32,355
[TV clicks off]
363
00:19:34,557 --> 00:19:36,659
This was a big mistake, wasn't it?
364
00:19:36,726 --> 00:19:39,028
No, honey. No. It's just...
365
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:41,898
- It's part of the process.
- Really?
366
00:19:41,964 --> 00:19:44,200
Calling you a murderer
is part of the process.
367
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:47,036
It's unfair, I know.
But it will end.
368
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:50,206
When they convinced everyone
Carl allows killers to go free?
369
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:53,343
Sue, it's just noise.
They're grabbing at straws.
370
00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:57,113
- Doing what they can to discredit him.
- It's working, isn't it?
371
00:19:58,681 --> 00:20:00,116
Sue, you...
372
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,886
- Maybe I should...
- No, no, no. I'll talk to her.
373
00:20:08,925 --> 00:20:11,394
It's not your fault, you know.
374
00:20:11,461 --> 00:20:13,463
Yeah, it is.
375
00:20:13,529 --> 00:20:15,465
I chose him.
376
00:20:29,245 --> 00:20:32,515
Where the hell have you been?
377
00:20:32,582 --> 00:20:34,550
Good morning.
378
00:20:34,617 --> 00:20:36,753
Uh, here and there.
Out and about.
379
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:40,490
- All night?
- I-I left word with the Service.
380
00:20:40,556 --> 00:20:44,193
Right. That you were
at some undisclosed location.
381
00:20:44,260 --> 00:20:47,497
Didn't stop Amy from panicking
that her grandmother was missing.
382
00:20:47,563 --> 00:20:50,933
Oh. Uh, I'm sorry.
383
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,702
I meant to get back sooner.
384
00:20:52,769 --> 00:20:55,705
Time just got away from me.
385
00:20:55,772 --> 00:20:59,609
- I'll talk to her.
- Good. Do that.
386
00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:02,311
Right after you talk to me.
387
00:21:02,378 --> 00:21:03,813
Where did you go, Mom?
388
00:21:05,548 --> 00:21:09,419
- Atlantic City?
- No. For heaven's sake...
389
00:21:09,485 --> 00:21:11,988
- I haven't played slots in years.
- Where were you?
390
00:21:12,054 --> 00:21:15,958
[sighs] I was with a friend, Mackenzie.
391
00:21:16,025 --> 00:21:19,962
I do have them, you know.
392
00:21:20,029 --> 00:21:23,132
- Hey. You're home.
- Am I?
393
00:21:26,269 --> 00:21:30,039
- So did she say where she was?
- Not exactly.
394
00:21:30,106 --> 00:21:33,609
- You run out of razors?
- Oh, this?
395
00:21:33,676 --> 00:21:37,513
I got nothing on
the books yesterday, today.
396
00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:39,515
It's not a complaint,
it's just a fact.
397
00:21:39,582 --> 00:21:42,685
I see. Kinda cute.
398
00:21:43,453 --> 00:21:45,188
Did you see Sue this morning?
399
00:21:45,254 --> 00:21:47,657
I haven't seen either one of them.
Have you?
400
00:21:48,558 --> 00:21:50,760
Honey. They're gonna be fine.
401
00:21:51,661 --> 00:21:53,629
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
402
00:21:57,433 --> 00:21:59,268
[Vince] Kelly.
403
00:22:02,638 --> 00:22:04,106
Kelly.
404
00:22:05,775 --> 00:22:08,644
- Right this way, Mr. Clooney.
- Huh?
405
00:22:08,711 --> 00:22:11,481
- Sorry. I must've dozed off.
- Yeah.
406
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:15,151
I was with you at the mess yesterday
when you got that mustard stain.
407
00:22:15,218 --> 00:22:17,386
Did you sleep here last night?
408
00:22:17,453 --> 00:22:20,323
This desk is actually
more comfortable than it looks.
409
00:22:20,389 --> 00:22:24,193
Oh, my God, look at the time.
I have the morning gaggle at 7:00,
410
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:28,064
I have 58 minutes to cram all the
mind-numbing facts I can into my brain
411
00:22:28,130 --> 00:22:31,734
if for no other reason than to remember
things I can't say to reporters.
412
00:22:31,801 --> 00:22:35,204
And two minutes to pee.
That smells good.
413
00:22:36,005 --> 00:22:39,108
Hey, you did a great job with
the Brantley story yesterday.
414
00:22:39,175 --> 00:22:41,611
Thanks.
415
00:22:42,411 --> 00:22:44,780
- And Kelly?
- Hmm?
416
00:22:44,847 --> 00:22:46,682
You rock.
417
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:54,156
Sue, is everything OK?
418
00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:56,592
I blame myself more than I blame him.
419
00:22:56,659 --> 00:22:58,794
I really just
didn't think it through.
420
00:22:58,861 --> 00:23:01,564
I don't know why
we ever sold the house.
421
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:05,101
Well, obviously because you
believe in Carl's confirmation
422
00:23:05,167 --> 00:23:06,936
as much as Mackenzie does.
423
00:23:07,003 --> 00:23:10,306
[sighs] Look, I thought I could do this,
but I'm not sure that I can.
424
00:23:10,373 --> 00:23:12,441
I'm not sure that
anyone should have to.
425
00:23:12,508 --> 00:23:15,745
- Is there something I can do?
- Make them stop.
426
00:23:15,811 --> 00:23:18,548
Oh, honey, I wish I could.
427
00:23:18,614 --> 00:23:21,284
I wish Mac could. But she can't.
428
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:25,821
What I can tell you is that
it is worth sticking it out.
429
00:23:25,888 --> 00:23:28,791
Your husband is going to be
in the position to make history.
430
00:23:28,858 --> 00:23:30,927
[laughs] To be history.
431
00:23:33,963 --> 00:23:37,533
[Sue] It's just...
[sighs] ...a lot.
432
00:23:38,734 --> 00:23:41,704
You're doing a stellar job
with the hearings.
433
00:23:42,572 --> 00:23:45,408
It's having quite an impact.
434
00:23:45,474 --> 00:23:48,911
We have the poor bastard sweating
more than a hooker at high mass.
435
00:23:48,978 --> 00:23:50,913
Yeah, I feel kinda sorry for him.
436
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:52,048
Not a bad guy.
437
00:23:53,382 --> 00:23:55,985
Pangs of pity from Nathan Templeton?
438
00:23:56,052 --> 00:23:57,787
You want me to throw in the towel?
439
00:23:57,853 --> 00:23:59,755
No, no, no.
440
00:23:59,822 --> 00:24:02,625
Carl Brantley may be a good man,
441
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:04,393
but it's not about him.
442
00:24:04,460 --> 00:24:06,028
It's about her.
443
00:24:06,095 --> 00:24:08,864
The hearings are hurting
her presidency, no doubt.
444
00:24:08,931 --> 00:24:11,334
- How much longer will they last?
- [scoffs]
445
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,937
- If she doesn't pull the nomination?
- She won't pull the nomination.
446
00:24:15,004 --> 00:24:18,307
She's headstrong.
That's her Achilles heel.
447
00:24:20,276 --> 00:24:22,244
How long do you figure?
448
00:24:22,311 --> 00:24:24,480
Another week, ten days.
449
00:24:24,547 --> 00:24:29,018
I'm calling the victim's family. That
should give us a good shot of press.
450
00:24:29,085 --> 00:24:30,987
That could backfire on you.
451
00:24:31,454 --> 00:24:34,857
Yeah, that could look
like an overt political attack.
452
00:24:34,924 --> 00:24:38,327
From a woman whose mother
was murdered? She'll get a pass.
453
00:24:38,394 --> 00:24:42,498
Probably. But why don't
we take the high road?
454
00:24:42,565 --> 00:24:46,802
[laughs] Do you have
a particular high road in mind?
455
00:24:47,770 --> 00:24:50,740
You know, the president asked us
456
00:24:50,806 --> 00:24:54,243
to examine her nominee's entire career,
457
00:24:54,310 --> 00:24:58,881
not just focus on one case.
458
00:24:58,948 --> 00:25:01,984
So why don't
we respect her wishes?
459
00:25:06,288 --> 00:25:07,690
What's this?
460
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:10,459
Highlight of Carl Brantley's career.
461
00:25:10,526 --> 00:25:12,895
Cases he declined
to prosecute when he was a DA,
462
00:25:12,962 --> 00:25:14,830
cases he lost,
463
00:25:14,897 --> 00:25:18,300
other prisoners paroled under
his watch who went on to commit crimes.
464
00:25:18,367 --> 00:25:21,871
So he can sit there
and deny he's soft on crime
465
00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:23,606
not just once,
466
00:25:23,673 --> 00:25:26,442
but over and over and over again.
467
00:25:29,345 --> 00:25:31,747
In April of 1999,
468
00:25:31,814 --> 00:25:35,584
your office declined
to prosecute Percy Chilton,
469
00:25:36,419 --> 00:25:38,320
who had prior convictions for
470
00:25:38,387 --> 00:25:40,656
rape and battery,
471
00:25:40,723 --> 00:25:45,361
after he was arrested for attacking
a young woman. Do you recall the case?
472
00:25:45,428 --> 00:25:47,663
No, I don't, sir,
but I can tell you that
473
00:25:47,730 --> 00:25:51,567
none of those previous convictions
would have been admissible in court.
474
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:53,269
Perhaps not,
475
00:25:53,335 --> 00:25:56,439
but might they have inspired
your office to take a harder look?
476
00:25:56,505 --> 00:25:59,241
We reviewed hundreds
of cases a week, senator,
477
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:02,812
and we looked hard at each
and every one of them.
478
00:26:02,878 --> 00:26:05,614
If you'd like me to come
and review that file with you...
479
00:26:05,681 --> 00:26:09,218
Let's look at another case
you declined to prosecute.
480
00:26:09,285 --> 00:26:12,254
Leon Korakin. Arrested for conspiracy...
481
00:26:12,321 --> 00:26:15,357
- [chattering]
- General. Gentlemen.
482
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:19,295
- Where's the vice president?
- He couldn't be here.
483
00:26:19,361 --> 00:26:21,697
- Have we recovered the weapons?
- No, ma'am.
484
00:26:21,764 --> 00:26:24,800
- Pave Hawks took fire.
- From antiaircraft missiles?
485
00:26:24,867 --> 00:26:27,603
No, it was just small arms.
But we had to back off anyway.
486
00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:29,739
Is it terrorists
after the weapons cargo?
487
00:26:29,805 --> 00:26:32,942
That or locals who don't
want us there for their own reasons.
488
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:35,111
We couldn't reach the crash site.
489
00:26:35,177 --> 00:26:37,313
- We sending Rangers?
- Yes, on their way.
490
00:26:37,379 --> 00:26:39,248
- Let me know when they get there.
- Yes.
491
00:26:39,315 --> 00:26:42,017
Did he have an appointment? Warren.
492
00:26:42,084 --> 00:26:46,222
I don't know, ma'am.
He didn't say, and I didn't ask.
493
00:26:46,288 --> 00:26:48,624
Thank you.
494
00:26:49,992 --> 00:26:52,461
I know you didn't expect it
to get this ugly.
495
00:26:52,528 --> 00:26:55,364
This is a new low. Even for them.
496
00:26:56,298 --> 00:26:59,502
Well, it was a nice idea
while it lasted.
497
00:27:00,569 --> 00:27:03,572
Two old friends... changing the world.
498
00:27:03,639 --> 00:27:05,908
- We still can.
- You can.
499
00:27:06,942 --> 00:27:10,112
I want to make it easy
for you. I'm withdrawing.
500
00:27:12,014 --> 00:27:14,450
I don't want you to do that.
501
00:27:14,517 --> 00:27:16,852
You'll make a great attorney general.
502
00:27:16,919 --> 00:27:19,121
No, I won't. I'm a liability.
503
00:27:19,188 --> 00:27:22,224
Let me worry about whether
you're an asset or liability.
504
00:27:22,291 --> 00:27:24,426
I told myself from the beginning,
505
00:27:24,493 --> 00:27:27,296
if I'm gonna do this job,
I'm gonna do it with integrity.
506
00:27:27,363 --> 00:27:29,732
I'm not gonna walk away
from a good friend
507
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:31,367
over politics.
508
00:27:31,433 --> 00:27:33,769
This isn't about you
standing up for me.
509
00:27:33,836 --> 00:27:37,239
I want out. At some point,
you admit defeat.
510
00:27:38,207 --> 00:27:41,310
If you don't want to take the heat,
that's your decision.
511
00:27:41,377 --> 00:27:45,848
But I believe in you, and I believe
in what we can do together.
512
00:27:45,915 --> 00:27:47,383
And if you'll keep fighting,
513
00:27:47,449 --> 00:27:50,886
I will commit the full power
of this office to winning.
514
00:27:50,953 --> 00:27:55,791
Even if we could win, it...
it wouldn't end. They'd be all over me.
515
00:27:55,858 --> 00:27:59,195
As your attorney general,
anything I do, they'll use against you.
516
00:28:00,763 --> 00:28:03,532
Welcome to my world.
517
00:28:07,670 --> 00:28:10,606
You really think we can win it?
518
00:28:10,673 --> 00:28:13,209
I have no idea.
519
00:28:14,977 --> 00:28:19,682
But I'll go down swinging with you.
I promise you that.
520
00:28:29,158 --> 00:28:31,927
Their strategy is
to kill us in committee.
521
00:28:31,994 --> 00:28:35,564
If we don't pull that nomination,
they'll tear him apart in the hearings.
522
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:38,367
What if I demand an up-or-down vote
in the full Senate?
523
00:28:38,434 --> 00:28:40,903
Make the committee stop
raking him over the coals.
524
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:43,239
Standing by your friend
makes you look strong.
525
00:28:43,305 --> 00:28:45,441
Do we have votes to win
the confirmation?
526
00:28:45,507 --> 00:28:49,111
- Can you deliver the Democrats?
- That's what I'm here for, son.
527
00:28:49,178 --> 00:28:51,480
All right.
Let's get started first thing.
528
00:28:51,547 --> 00:28:55,184
Even if we get the Democrats,
we won't win without some Republicans.
529
00:28:55,251 --> 00:28:57,786
- How many?
- A handful of senators could swing it.
530
00:28:57,853 --> 00:29:00,456
We're not the only ones
putting the screws to them.
531
00:29:00,522 --> 00:29:03,459
Templeton. He's got a good strategy.
532
00:29:03,525 --> 00:29:06,562
Beat up Brantley in committee
while he sits, collects votes.
533
00:29:06,629 --> 00:29:09,899
He doesn't control what happens
on the Senate floor, but...
534
00:29:09,965 --> 00:29:13,135
...the House is his.
Legislation, the budget, careers.
535
00:29:13,202 --> 00:29:17,339
If he goes after the same senators
we do, it's going to be a tough fight.
536
00:29:17,406 --> 00:29:20,409
- He's got a lot to offer them.
- We have to offer them more.
537
00:29:20,476 --> 00:29:22,177
How far are you willing to go?
538
00:29:22,244 --> 00:29:25,214
I'm not gonna make any deals
I can't live with,
539
00:29:25,281 --> 00:29:27,283
but we're gonna have to get creative.
540
00:29:31,654 --> 00:29:34,657
You want to start horse-trading? Now?
541
00:29:34,723 --> 00:29:37,526
[Jim] We want to get things done.
Don't you?
542
00:29:37,593 --> 00:29:40,963
- Depends what we're talking about.
- Well, you tell me.
543
00:29:41,030 --> 00:29:44,266
We all know Carl Brantley
will make a strong attorney general.
544
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:48,737
[Templeton] So if we put Rea in charge
of the House Committee on Resources,
545
00:29:48,804 --> 00:29:51,407
Carnes in charge of Science,
546
00:29:51,473 --> 00:29:54,143
then you'd control all you need for...
547
00:29:54,209 --> 00:29:57,913
Senator, I brought you the chance to do
right by your commander in chief.
548
00:29:57,980 --> 00:29:59,815
A billion dollar appropriation...
549
00:29:59,882 --> 00:30:03,452
I know you you want her to ease up
on those sanctions against Indonesia.
550
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:05,120
Half of it could go to your state.
551
00:30:05,187 --> 00:30:07,923
You don't get credit
for your faith-based initiatives.
552
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:09,758
[Templeton] A question of loyalty.
553
00:30:09,825 --> 00:30:11,827
[Mac] I'd shine
a spotlight on your work.
554
00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:13,062
You can count on the RNC.
555
00:30:13,128 --> 00:30:15,664
We could make farm
subsidies more of a priority.
556
00:30:15,731 --> 00:30:19,134
[Mac] If I thought you could start
working with me in a reasonable
557
00:30:19,201 --> 00:30:22,338
and constructive way, then yes,
558
00:30:22,404 --> 00:30:24,373
you would have my endorsement.
559
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,975
She said she'd endorse Lee?
560
00:30:26,041 --> 00:30:28,877
- She feels she can work with him.
- But Lee?
561
00:30:28,944 --> 00:30:31,113
I like it.
It gives us points on the right.
562
00:30:31,180 --> 00:30:33,515
Does it give us the votes
to get him confirmed?
563
00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:38,654
- [sighs, laughs] I don't see them.
- [Kelly] The vote's not till tomorrow.
564
00:30:38,721 --> 00:30:41,890
- We haven't played our biggest card.
- We've given every gift.
565
00:30:41,957 --> 00:30:44,526
- What's left?
- What's left is the president.
566
00:30:44,593 --> 00:30:46,996
Her conference is at 5:00.
She'll bring it home.
567
00:30:47,062 --> 00:30:51,000
- I hope you're right.
- We're close on Quinn, Duke and Paxton.
568
00:30:51,066 --> 00:30:54,737
We'll close them after
the press conference. Watch and see.
569
00:30:54,803 --> 00:30:56,405
[reporters] Madam President!
570
00:30:56,472 --> 00:30:59,141
By stopping the hearings
and calling for a vote,
571
00:30:59,208 --> 00:31:02,911
aren't you preventing the Senate's
full review of the his qualifications?
572
00:31:02,978 --> 00:31:06,382
If they were sincerely reviewing
Carl Brantley's qualifications,
573
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:09,518
that might be so.
But we all know that's not the case.
574
00:31:09,585 --> 00:31:12,121
You don't think it's sincere
to look at his record?
575
00:31:12,187 --> 00:31:13,856
What record are they looking at?
576
00:31:13,922 --> 00:31:18,227
His highest conviction rate of any
prosecutor in Connecticut's history?
577
00:31:18,293 --> 00:31:20,129
What about Audrey Maxwell's murder ?
578
00:31:20,195 --> 00:31:24,466
Carl Brantley sat on a parole board
that released a small-time burglar.
579
00:31:24,533 --> 00:31:28,604
The parole board's only failure
was not being psychic.
580
00:31:28,670 --> 00:31:31,407
Make no mistake
about what's going on here.
581
00:31:31,473 --> 00:31:34,710
A tragic event is being
manipulated for political gain.
582
00:31:34,777 --> 00:31:38,680
The people doing it believe that
Americans will react so strongly
583
00:31:38,747 --> 00:31:42,751
to crime-scene footage and provocative
language that the truth won't matter.
584
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:45,154
I think Americans
are smarter than that.
585
00:31:45,220 --> 00:31:50,092
And I pray that the Senate will rise
above it and do the right thing.
586
00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:53,662
I just spoke with Senator Quinn.
He's in. Along with Paxton and Duke.
587
00:31:53,729 --> 00:31:55,764
- I think we're there.
- Congratulations.
588
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:58,100
Will it hold until
the vote tomorrow morning?
589
00:31:58,167 --> 00:32:01,570
Templeton will find out. So will Peck.
They'll fight to the last vote.
590
00:32:01,637 --> 00:32:04,073
Do we have a plan B
in case we lose these guys?
591
00:32:04,139 --> 00:32:08,210
- These guys were our plan B.
- And we don't have a plan C.
592
00:32:08,277 --> 00:32:11,680
We'll stay on it all night.
Keep working the options.
593
00:32:13,015 --> 00:32:14,917
Make no mistake
about what's going on.
594
00:32:14,983 --> 00:32:18,387
A tragic event is being
manipulated for political gain.
595
00:32:18,454 --> 00:32:21,957
The people doing it believe
Americans will react so strongly...
596
00:32:22,024 --> 00:32:23,959
- [footsteps]
- [Jayne] Mr. Speaker.
597
00:32:24,026 --> 00:32:26,361
Senators Duke, Quinn and Paxton.
598
00:32:26,428 --> 00:32:30,399
Gentlemen. It's great of you to come.
I knew I could count on you.
599
00:32:33,569 --> 00:32:37,005
Well done. Very good. Ma'am.
600
00:32:37,072 --> 00:32:39,675
Warren. Do you have anything for me?
601
00:32:39,741 --> 00:32:42,211
I just got word
from the Ranger team leader.
602
00:32:42,277 --> 00:32:44,246
They've secured the crash site,
603
00:32:44,313 --> 00:32:47,249
and the accident response group
is on the ground.
604
00:32:47,316 --> 00:32:49,618
- Any casualties going in?
- None.
605
00:32:49,685 --> 00:32:52,821
Apparently whoever was shooting
beat a hasty retreat.
606
00:32:52,888 --> 00:32:54,556
Do we know who it was?
607
00:32:54,623 --> 00:32:57,359
Opium's the cash crop
in that part of the world, ma'am.
608
00:32:57,426 --> 00:33:00,395
I think the Pave Hawks ran
across growers moving product.
609
00:33:00,462 --> 00:33:02,531
Hmm. How soon until
we have the missiles?
610
00:33:02,598 --> 00:33:04,766
- At this point, it's hard to say.
- All right.
611
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:07,402
- Let me know as soon as they're secure.
- Very well.
612
00:33:07,469 --> 00:33:09,571
Warren? Everything OK?
613
00:33:09,638 --> 00:33:13,075
- Ma'am?
- Just yesterday, the Sit Room.
614
00:33:13,142 --> 00:33:16,411
Just some family matters
I had to look after.
615
00:33:16,478 --> 00:33:19,248
- OK. Thank you.
- Yes, ma'am.
616
00:33:28,891 --> 00:33:31,927
- Hey.
- I hope I'm not interrupting.
617
00:33:31,994 --> 00:33:33,929
I mean, I know I am, but...
618
00:33:33,996 --> 00:33:35,898
Mom, it's OK. What's up?
619
00:33:35,964 --> 00:33:38,834
Um... guilt.
620
00:33:40,068 --> 00:33:42,404
About...?
621
00:33:42,471 --> 00:33:45,240
Not telling you where I was.
622
00:33:45,307 --> 00:33:46,608
You deserve to know.
623
00:33:47,643 --> 00:33:50,379
- OK.
- OK.
624
00:33:59,188 --> 00:34:01,190
- Oh.
- This is Bill Harrison.
625
00:34:01,256 --> 00:34:04,026
- How do you do?
- It's an honor, Madam President.
626
00:34:04,092 --> 00:34:05,928
Thank you.
627
00:34:05,994 --> 00:34:07,629
Bill and I... um...
628
00:34:10,566 --> 00:34:14,603
Bill is my boyfriend.
We have been dating,
629
00:34:14,670 --> 00:34:18,106
uh, on and off for a year now.
630
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,076
- Dating.
- We met in Connecticut
631
00:34:21,143 --> 00:34:25,647
at a country club.
I still live there... in Connecticut.
632
00:34:25,714 --> 00:34:27,783
Right. Right.
633
00:34:27,849 --> 00:34:31,620
- So am I to understand...?
- [stammering]
634
00:34:31,687 --> 00:34:35,390
- We stayed in a hotel, yes.
- OK. Well, you know what, Mom?
635
00:34:35,457 --> 00:34:36,959
You don't have to...
636
00:34:37,025 --> 00:34:40,162
I would have told you
sooner about us, but, um...
637
00:34:40,229 --> 00:34:44,299
- ...there's a little hitch.
- A hitch.
638
00:34:45,601 --> 00:34:48,537
Bill is married.
639
00:34:48,604 --> 00:34:51,707
[stammers] Don't panic.
I am not a home-wrecker.
640
00:34:51,773 --> 00:34:54,443
My wife suffered
a stroke eight years ago.
641
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:57,379
She's been
in a nursing home ever since.
642
00:34:57,446 --> 00:35:01,450
I figured any way you sliced it,
it wouldn't look good.
643
00:35:01,516 --> 00:35:04,786
So when I moved to the White House,
644
00:35:04,853 --> 00:35:07,756
uh... I put an end to it.
645
00:35:07,823 --> 00:35:10,926
But I just couldn't let her go.
646
00:35:10,993 --> 00:35:13,462
You crazy old coot.
647
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:18,533
Anyway, there you have it.
648
00:35:20,235 --> 00:35:24,039
OK, then. Uh, not quite sure
what to do with it, but...
649
00:35:24,106 --> 00:35:25,974
- [knocking]
- Sorry to disturb you,
650
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:28,277
- but I think that...
- Oh, no, please.
651
00:35:28,343 --> 00:35:32,514
We have to go. You get back to work.
We'll see you... later.
652
00:35:32,581 --> 00:35:34,583
Bye-bye.
653
00:35:36,585 --> 00:35:38,687
- Don't ask.
- I won't.
654
00:35:38,754 --> 00:35:40,689
Here. This is from Mr. Gardner.
655
00:35:43,392 --> 00:35:47,763
- What is it?
- We lost Quinn, Duke and Paxton.
656
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:52,734
What happened?
657
00:35:52,801 --> 00:35:55,437
Best guess is that
Senator Peck got to them.
658
00:35:55,504 --> 00:35:58,006
He chairs the committee.
Where he goes they follow.
659
00:35:58,073 --> 00:36:01,310
- And Templeton got to Senator Peck.
- They work hand in glove.
660
00:36:01,376 --> 00:36:04,513
It's all part of Templeton's
presidential campaign.
661
00:36:05,681 --> 00:36:09,117
Let's get Senator Peck in here,
first thing, before the vote.
662
00:36:09,918 --> 00:36:12,621
Peck is facing a major challenger
in his next election.
663
00:36:12,688 --> 00:36:15,257
Stan Dennison,
banking billionaire, self-funder.
664
00:36:15,324 --> 00:36:18,827
- I know.
- He needs his party's support to win.
665
00:36:18,894 --> 00:36:22,197
That means Templeton's support.
He can't afford to rock the boat.
666
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:24,566
Because he doesn't want
to lose his seat.
667
00:36:24,633 --> 00:36:27,769
That may be our plan C.
668
00:36:29,938 --> 00:36:33,208
With due respect, Madam President,
the vote's in less than an hour.
669
00:36:33,275 --> 00:36:37,012
There's nothing you can offer
that would change my position.
670
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:40,115
I understand you have a tough
re-election campaign ahead,
671
00:36:40,182 --> 00:36:43,051
fighting a wealthy opponent,
running behind in the polls.
672
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:46,688
All the more reason I can't afford
to alienate my party leadership.
673
00:36:46,755 --> 00:36:49,024
Makes sense. Makes sense.
674
00:36:49,091 --> 00:36:51,626
You know, it occurs to me
675
00:36:51,693 --> 00:36:54,463
that we need a new secretary
of the treasury, right, Jim?
676
00:36:54,529 --> 00:36:57,099
- I believe we are.
- [laughs]
677
00:36:57,165 --> 00:37:00,769
You think I'd throw away
a lifetime relationship
678
00:37:00,836 --> 00:37:03,972
with the Republican Party
for a couple years in your cabinet?
679
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:08,910
No offense, but I've seen
what happens to your nominees.
680
00:37:08,977 --> 00:37:12,781
Oh, no, I...
I wasn't thinking of you.
681
00:37:12,848 --> 00:37:16,785
Uh, I don't really see you as
a treasury secretary. No offense.
682
00:37:16,852 --> 00:37:20,055
No. I was thinking of your opponent.
683
00:37:20,122 --> 00:37:23,258
He got rich as a banker,
he cares about the economy,
684
00:37:23,325 --> 00:37:25,694
I think he'd be
a heck of a guy for the job.
685
00:37:25,761 --> 00:37:28,630
And I don't imagine
it's an opportunity he'd turn down.
686
00:37:28,697 --> 00:37:32,467
At least that's the impression I got
when we met with him this morning.
687
00:37:32,534 --> 00:37:34,836
- You think so?
- He said it's a dream come true.
688
00:37:34,903 --> 00:37:37,539
- There you go.
- It would take is Senate confirmation,
689
00:37:37,606 --> 00:37:39,808
which I'm sure you could arrange.
690
00:37:39,875 --> 00:37:42,144
That would take him out of your race,
691
00:37:42,210 --> 00:37:44,646
clear the field for you.
692
00:37:46,047 --> 00:37:48,717
I'll, uh...
693
00:37:48,784 --> 00:37:51,253
...have to give it some thought.
694
00:37:51,319 --> 00:37:55,090
You can think about it on the way over.
They're getting ready to call the vote.
695
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:08,303
[woman on TV] In a surprise turnabout,
Senator Joe Peck reluctantly endorsed
696
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:11,840
the president's candidate
for attorney general, Carl Brantley.
697
00:38:11,907 --> 00:38:16,311
As voting begins, it is clear
that Brantley now has the support
698
00:38:16,378 --> 00:38:18,647
needed for that confirmation.
We are told...
699
00:38:18,713 --> 00:38:22,217
Whatever she gave him, we will make sure
the punishment is worse.
700
00:38:22,284 --> 00:38:24,619
I don't give a damn
about Joe Peck right now.
701
00:38:24,686 --> 00:38:27,823
[Jayne] I'm just a sore loser, I guess.
702
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:30,025
It's good to lose a battle.
703
00:38:30,091 --> 00:38:34,095
- Teaches you how to better win the war.
- She got her man his job.
704
00:38:34,162 --> 00:38:37,799
- It feels like this war is over.
- No. This war is for the presidency.
705
00:38:37,866 --> 00:38:40,235
Never lose sight of that.
706
00:38:40,302 --> 00:38:43,638
She got her man.
Now she's gonna have to wear him.
707
00:38:43,705 --> 00:38:47,042
Every case his office fumbles,
708
00:38:47,108 --> 00:38:49,511
every failure of justice...
709
00:38:50,212 --> 00:38:52,881
...they're all going to be hers.
710
00:38:55,417 --> 00:38:57,986
From now on, we don't stop.
711
00:38:58,053 --> 00:39:01,356
Attack, attack, attack, attack.
712
00:39:05,126 --> 00:39:08,063
- [knocking]
- Do you take walks-ins?
713
00:39:08,129 --> 00:39:09,598
Come on in.
714
00:39:09,664 --> 00:39:12,434
I'm just packing up for the night.
715
00:39:12,501 --> 00:39:15,704
From the looks of things,
your night is far from over.
716
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:19,674
So... Attorney General Brantley.
How's it sound now?
717
00:39:19,741 --> 00:39:22,711
Oh, better a week ago,
but I'll take it. I'll take it.
718
00:39:22,777 --> 00:39:26,081
I know that my confirmation hearings
came at a cost to you.
719
00:39:26,147 --> 00:39:27,782
Don't worry about me.
720
00:39:27,849 --> 00:39:31,086
This is not the last time you're
gonna be the target of criticism.
721
00:39:31,152 --> 00:39:33,922
I... I don't know how
you handle it at this level.
722
00:39:33,989 --> 00:39:36,091
Some days better than others.
723
00:39:36,157 --> 00:39:39,227
But on the good days,
I try to remember that
724
00:39:39,294 --> 00:39:42,864
every advancement in history
has been met with opposition.
725
00:39:44,065 --> 00:39:48,236
Remember back in school, I saved your
butt by lending you my con law notes?
726
00:39:48,303 --> 00:39:50,071
- Yeah.
- I recall you telling me
727
00:39:50,138 --> 00:39:53,608
that you owed me one.
Consider it even.
728
00:39:56,778 --> 00:39:58,513
- Ma'am.
- Jim.
729
00:40:00,549 --> 00:40:02,050
It's all right.
730
00:40:02,117 --> 00:40:05,120
The recovery team finished
its sweep of the C-130 crash site.
731
00:40:05,186 --> 00:40:07,889
- Everything OK?
- They've secured most of the cargo.
732
00:40:07,956 --> 00:40:09,391
Most?
733
00:40:09,457 --> 00:40:13,228
The group leader says he
only found 50 handheld launchers.
734
00:40:13,295 --> 00:40:16,765
- And the other 50?
- Missing.
735
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,733
Maybe destroyed in the crash?
736
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,602
What they found was intact.
737
00:40:20,669 --> 00:40:24,139
- Meaning the rest have been stolen.
- Yes, ma'am. They're out there.
