Deference to the executive
cannot possibly justify

the injuries to Mr. Mahmoud
or the death of his family members.

If you do not say that this is wrong,
that this is unconstitutional,

there is nothing to prevent this sort
of senseless tragedy from happening again.

We ask for nothing more
than reform and oversight.

Your ruling is a crucial first step.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Katyal.

Ms. Dunbar.

Mr. Chief Justice,
and may it please the court,

the security of American citizens
is the reason our drone program

and other covert operations exist.

But that security
often comes with a cost.

At this very moment,
the president is at Arlington Cemetery,

laying to rest three Navy SEALs

who perished on a mountainside
in Afghanistan.

They gave their lives to save others.

And God said to Abraham,
"Take your son,

your only son, whom you love,
Isaac, and sacrifice him."

Abraham was willing.

But when he raised his knife
above Isaac on the altar,

God stopped him.

For Abraham had proven
his devotion to God.

Then God, to prove his devotion to us,

made his own sacrifice.

"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only Son."

Devotion. Sacrifice.

Love.

This is what the Lord teaches us.

And what these young men
have exemplified.

We shall forever honor them.

And in heaven,
they will have eternal life.

Amen.

Ready, pull.

As you are aware, we have
invoked the State secrets privilege

during our request for dismissal.

But I have authority from the president
to share some of the classified brief

in order to reinforce
the government's argument.

Are you certain you want to do that,
Ms. Dunbar?

I am, Mr. Chief Justice.
And so is the president.

So the government is publicly
admitting responsibility for the strike?

It is, Your Honor.

The terrorist successfully targeted
was Zuri Aziz.

He routinely used civilians
as human shields.

Mr. Mahmoud's family did not know
Aziz was in the same building.

The drone strike is responsible
for their deaths.

Mr. Mahmoud has suffered
a terrible injury and loss.

While the government's action is tragic,
it wasn't unlawful.

It was legal, it was necessary,
and it was right.

Heather Dunbar?
She's never run for office.

You don't become Solicitor General
without being politically savvy.

It takes more than savvy
to be elected president.

Don't forget, she has a national profile
after the Walker investigation.

Truth and justice personified.

If the leadership wants
to redefine the party, she's--

No one with this little
experience has ever been a real contender

since Ross Perot,
and at least he had the money.

So does she.
Her family owns Dunbar Armored Cars.

She could finance her entire campaign
if she needed to.

But what prevents the abuse of power?

The executive can't legislate,
can't receive appropriations,

can't sentence people to imprisonment.

All of these depend
on the other branches,

which keeps executive power in check.

But we know for a fact that,
in emergencies,

the executive will contemplate actions

that do not have clear
legislative authority

and might be constitutionally dubious.

Including--

Are you asking about drone strikes,
Your Honor?

Yes. Drone strikes.

The fear of an out-of-control
executive is exaggerated.

The president has strong electoral
and other political incentives

to act in the public interest.

You yourself have investigated
the White House for abuse of power.

It forced a president to resign.

Now you maintain that, uh, we should
give our president a wide berth?

I am not here to defend any one person,

but rather the office
of the presidency itself.

We must hold everyone
in government accountable to the law.

But we must not manufacture
our interpretation of the law

to erode constitutional authority.

We can prosecute presidents,
but not the presidency.

We have to assume this is happening.

We need to end her campaign
before it begins.

She's clean.
Walker vetted her for Solicitor General,

then again when he made her
special prosecutor.

That's one of the things
that makes her so attractive.

- Thank you, Jackie.
- Yes, sir.

Well, if we can't knock her out,
we have to figure out another way.

- It's something, isn't it?
- Yes, it is.

Traditionally,
the United States has not supported

military action in the Middle East.

But a neutral UN peacekeeping force
in the Jordan Valley

is an essential first step
to sustainable, long-term peace.

The United States will vote "yes."

Thank you, Mr. President.

I give the floor
to the representative

of the Russian Federation.

Russia is also committed
to stability in the region.

But inserting the UN
into such a complicated situation

could irrevocably damage
the hopes of real peace.

I strongly encourage my colleagues
to not support this resolution.

Thank you, Mr. President.

With no further requests to speak,
I put the draft resolution to a vote.

All those in favor?

Those against?

Those abstaining?

The vote is 13 in favor,
one against, one abstention.

The draft resolution does not pass

due to the "no" vote by a permanent member
of the Security Council.

We hoped that
Russia would change their mind

but their veto doesn't surprise me.

So we need your support
to bypass the Security Council.

We don't want to
undermine the veto of permanent members.

We will not establish
a dangerous precedent.

The General Assembly can't override
the veto without a majority.

Do you still have the support of Israel?

I would not call you
if this was not the case.

Then as long as Israel agrees, we agree.

Wonderful. Thank you, Ambassador.

I'll let you know when we decide
to submit it to a vote.

Ileana, France is in.

I need to be certain
Israel will stand firm.

Israel will never maintain
its commitment.

Israel wants what the rest of the world
wants, sustainable security.

Trust me on this, I've dealt with
Jerusalem for many years at the UN.

The moment it gets difficult,
they'll turn their back on you.

- And it will get difficult.
- You're right.

I can't predict how they will act
down the road,

but I do know they will vote
for this resolution.

We'll see.

Going around the Security Council
is a radical move.

It's not radical, it's justified.

You dust off some 60-year-old
precedent and think you're justified?

The Uniting for Peace resolution
was used to start a war.

To end North Korea's aggression.

Semantics.

Ninety-three nations on board already,
including Israel, that's not semantics.

Claire, I'm getting a lot of pressure
from the Kremlin.

Petrov doesn't want this
to go to the General Assembly.

Give me a little more time
to work on him.

We've given you a month.
We're moving forward.

- Yes?
- Ms. Dunbar is here.

Send her in.

- Heather.
- Mr. President.

I listened to the audio of your defense
this morning. It was outstanding.

You were right about making
the emotional argument.

I think it will help the country heal.
Please, have a seat.

I'm also going to meet later tonight
with Mr. Mahmoud privately.

- To personally apologize.
- That's a compassionate thing to do.

When I listened to your argument,
I also heard something else.

There was a moment when Justice Jacobs
was asking you about drone strikes.

Yeah, I remember.

And he paused...
for quite a long time.

I think...
he just lost his train of thought.

Well...

What I'm about to tell you
has to remain between us.

Of course.

Justice Jacobs has Alzheimer's.

He came to me a few months ago
to tell me.

Now, it's in the early stages,
so you wouldn't even notice

unless you know what to look for.

He wants to remain on the court?

Well, that's what I want to discuss.

He wanted to retire.

I asked him to hold on
just a little while longer,

until I could find a suitable
replacement and now I have.

And I want that replacement...
to be you.

What do you think?

I'm... humbled, sir.

And... honestly surprised
that you'd consider me.

- Why is that?
- Given our history.

When I said that was water
under the bridge, I meant it.

You have the finest legal mind
in this country,

a deep understanding
of the Constitution,

and the Republicans wouldn't dare
block your nomination.

After all, you prosecuted
a Democratic president.

You're too good to be Solicitor General.

Let's make sure you have a job for life.

I appreciate you saying that, sir.

I'm sorry.

This is a lot to process.

It's important we do this
before the election.

We could end up
with a Republican president.

And I don't want
to suggest your name to Jacobs

unless you truly want the position.

So... I need to know now.

Yes. It would be a great honor.

Good. Congratulations.

You speak to your family.
I'll speak to Jacobs.

Thank you, Mr. President.

- Did you see this?
- Hm? See what?

I just got an alert.

I don't know.
I haven't, uh... seen Jim in a while.

That's weird.

I want to offer you my sincerest regret.

And I hope that you
will accept my apology.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

I know it should have come sooner.

There needs to be more oversight.

Well, there is congressional oversight.

We have a rigorous system
to prevent collateral damage.

Civilians are listed as "other militants."

But the government offers
no evidence that's true.

It definitely wasn't in my case.

How rigorous can your process be?

The numbers of non-combatants
who are being killed by drone strikes

- is lower than it's ever been.
- Those numbers are false.

One civilian killed in 2010?
That has to be wrong.

Look, I don't think the Pentagon
is being honest about--

Are you okay?

- I'll get the doctor up here.
- Don't do that. It'll pass.

Phantom pain.

You know what I dreamed of
when I came here?

Choking you with my bare hands.

Mr. Mahmoud, you may hate me.

You may hate the office I hold.

But here's the reality:

I must make decisions every day
that I hope are just.

I don't know right
from wrong all the time.

I wish I did.

But what I can't be is indecisive.

It says in the Qur'an:
"The taking of one innocent life

is like the taking of all mankind."

It also says that
"the saving of one life

is like the saving of all mankind."

You didn't ask me here to apologize.

You asked me here to forgive you.

I didn't order the strike that--

I won't forgive you, Mr. President.

I don't want to make it any easier
for you to sleep at night.

And knowing a few lines of the Qur'an
does not absolve you.

I have a duty to this nation,
Mr. Mahmoud.

I swore an oath.

There's a fine line
between duty and murder.

Only you have the power
to stop what happened to me.

The next time you wield it...
I hope you'll think twice.

Yes, of course. Meechum!

- Yes, sir?
- You show Mr. Mahmoud out.

Two months of random sampling
across the country.

Less than a tenth of a percent
of all incoming data.

Why so little?

You have any idea
how many cameras we monitor?

The CPU core quota
of every mainframe in Washington

couldn't handle all that data.

I tried doubling the sample range
and it set off alarms.

I came this fucking close
to getting caught.

Okay, we just need
to narrow the search, man.

- It's too much ground to cover.
- How?

I need more information on Rachel.

Favorite books, fuckin' movies.

- Anything.
- I don't know.

Come on.
Did she ever talk about going anywhere?

- Traveling to some place?
- No. Traveling wasn't an option.

I need more, man.

- What about the other girl? Lisa.
- I'm reading her e-mails.

I'm tracking her phone.
There's nothing there.

We should get close to her, though.
We should talk to her.

- Extract something.
- She might recognize me.

- I'll do it.
- That makes me nervous.

It's social engineering.
I'll just hack her that way.

She won't suspect a thing.

If we don't try something new,
we're not gonna find Rachel.

Help yourself
to some boiled peanuts.

No, thank you. Too much salt.

First week I was here,
I asked one of the stewards

if I could have some boiled peanuts.

I used to eat them all the time
as a kid, and I'll be damned

if there hasn't been a full bowl
of peanuts here every day since.

They must have a pot boiling
'round the clock.

Ruth has me eating kale crisps now.

Says they're good for me.
I can't stand the things.

I have them shucked in the kitchen,

so you don't even have to get your
fingers dirty. Feel free. Live a little.

Mr. Justice, since we last spoke,
I've done a lot of soul searching.

It was unfair of me
to ask you to stay on the bench.

If you want to retire, you should.

I appreciate your consideration,
Mr. President.

Well, I thought the first thing I should
do is to find a suitable successor.

Someone you would approve of
to put your mind at ease,

- and I think I've found one.
- Who?

- Heather Dunbar.
- I think she'd be an excellent justice.

I'm glad you agree.

Just an unlikely choice,
given how vociferous she--

With the Walker investigation, yes.

But that only increases
my estimation of her.

She has a great sense of duty.

More than any Solicitor General
I've ever worked with.

I wish I'd known the reason
you invited me beforehand.

- I could have saved you the trouble.
- Why?

After I talked to you
a couple of months ago,

Ruth said you'd given me a gift.

That I would be miserable
if I weren't on the bench.

She talked to my sons
and they all agreed.

As long as I'm well enough
to serve the court,

that's where I want to be.
And we'll keep an eye on 2016.

If it looks as though the Republicans
will win, I'll step down.

If not, I'll stay.
But, there's no rush.

Must I destroy this man?

Mr. President?

No. I won't.

Excuse me?

I won't stand by
and watch you make this mistake.

I've thought this through.

We're not friends, Robert.
We don't know each other that well.

But I care about you.

Because you served
for more than 20 years on the bench.

You've established legal precedents
that will outlive both of us.

And... maybe you can explain away
yesterday as a senior moment.

But what if another moment happens
that you can't explain away?

What if somehow the news
of your illness leaks?

Then every decision you've written
will be called into question.

They'll be challenged.

And a life's work will be undone
in a heartbeat.

Do you have some ulterior motive here?

Only your best interests.

But why the urgency?

I want to protect you.

Justice, I'm asking you,
I'm pleading with you.

Don't let events get out of your control.

Will you reconsider?

I appreciate your concern, Mr. President.

Let me speak again to Ruth
and I'll get back to you.

Thank you, Justice.

- It's a moratorium.
- We're not calling it that.

Call it whatever you want,
nobody's talking.

We're trying to prevent misinformation.

I'm supposed to write about AmWorks.

How can I do that when no one from
the executive branch will speak to me?

This thing's shifting
under our feet in Congress.

By the time I finish the morning brief,
it's already outdated.

I'm not asking for a one-on-one
with the president, but...

the Secretary of Labor, Treasury,
one of his economic advisors.

Give you special treatment?

I think you issued the moratorium
because you're losing the battle.

It's 500 billion dollars.

This is the largest jobs program
since the New Deal.

Of course it's a slugfest.
That doesn't mean we're losing.

Then let me speak to someone
who can confirm that.

Because all I'm hearing
from the Republicans is that

AmWorks will never
see the light of day.

I sympathize with you, Ayla.
I wish I could give you what you want.

- The president needs us.
- So we'll talk later.

Michael Corrigan,
the activist who organized the protest

at the state dinner last month,

arrested by Russian police
three hours ago in Moscow.

The video is going viral.

He's a high profile gay rights activist,
nationally and abroad.

And he's been very vocal in Russia
over the last six weeks.

Here's the bureau file on him, sir.

Have we been in touch with the Kremlin?

Secretary Durant
is in Tangier right now.

I briefed her by phone
and she reached out to Bugayev.

But they have not connected yet.

Ambassador Grimes is making calls
in Moscow, but nobody's engaging,

other than to say they plan
on fully prosecuting him.

Ambassador, do you think
this could be in retaliation

for what you're doing at the UN?

It could be.

The Russians are very upset
about this resolution.

I'll see what I can find out
from Moryakov.

Let's hold off on the press conference
until tomorrow.

I'd like to deliver some good news
instead of no news.

In the meantime, put out a statement
that we're in communication with Moscow.

And that we're doing
everything we can to get Mr. Corrigan

back to the United States.
Thank you all.

Personally, I hate the law.
It's medieval homophobic nonsense.

- But it's the law.
- I don't think it's coincidence

that Corrigan was arrested
after our conversation.

Well, I wouldn't think
it was a coincidence either.

So what do you hope to achieve?

The same thing as you do:
Mr. Corrigan's release.

If I withdraw the resolution.

I think Moscow would certainly see it
as a sign of goodwill.

Well, we don't barter goodwill
for the freedom of American citizens.

I actually advocated
for his immediate deportation.

I agree that tossing him
in jail is counterproductive,

but my superiors are adamant.

Save Petrov from himself.

It's not my place to question him.
Unlike you, I'm not married to my boss.

I'll relay the Kremlin's position
to the president.

If we give in,
the Jordan Valley plan is over

and we show the Russians
we can be blackmailed.

So we're just supposed
to let Corrigan rot away?

I think if we continue to drive hard
at the UN, we'll gain leverage.

- What does Cathy think?
- She agrees.

I'm gonna take flak every day
that Corrigan remains in jail.

And you'll take more if you back down.

But it does mean I have
to get in front of the press

with absolutely nothing
of substance to say.

You spent 20 years in Congress.
You're good at that.

It's good to hear you laugh.

Get some sleep.
I'll call you tomorrow.

Good night.

Who specifically is communicating
between Washington and Moscow?

All of our communication
is between the State Department

and the Russian Foreign Ministry. Ayla.

In your statement, you persisted
in calling this a free speech issue,

but isn't gay rights really
at the center of this?

Well, Mr. Corrigan was arrested
for speaking his mind.

- No matter what his opinions--
- Aren't you skirting that,

Mr. President, because your stance
on gay rights is unclear?

What is clear is that Mr. Corrigan's
detainment is unjust

and, as I said, we're doing
everything we can

to make sure that he can come home.
Yes, Zachary.

Following up. Isn't dodging
gay rights a calculated move

for a man not running for office?

You think I'm dodging?

Well, then let me be
as clear as I possibly can be.

Gay people have rights.

And this administration has
always believed that Mr. Corrigan

has the right to speak his mind without
fear of being arrested on any issue,

whether it's gay rights
or something else.

And what is also quite clear is that
you must have failed etiquette class.

Why won't you speak to John Pasternak,
Michael Corrigan's husband?

Mr. Pasternak has been trying
to contact the White House

- and no one will speak with him.
- I do apologize, I have a meeting.

I wish I could've gotten to all your
questions. Any further inquiries,

please direct them to Mr. Grayson.
Thank you very much.

I apologize, sir.

- You went too far.
- I did my job.

There's protocol.
There's basic decorum.

How about this: you lift
the moratorium for me on AmWorks,

I disappear for five weeks.
Focus on my long-lead piece.

I don't touch Corrigan or anything else.

You wanted me to chew you out.

If that's what it takes
to get us talking.

Which is why I need your credential.

- What?
- Your credential.

- You're kidding.
- Do you see me laughing?

You don't control my credential.
The Correspondents' Association does.

And I just spoke to Joel Weinmann.

- He wouldn't.
- You succeeded, Ayla.

I'm lifting the moratorium for every
other member of the press corps.

The price was your credential.

- He has no grounds.
- You disrespected the president,

the office, and most importantly,
your fellow colleagues.

- It wasn't a tough sell.
- Then this becomes my next story.

Punishing a member of the press.
Collusion. Pay for play.

And I'll deny.

And do you think the head of the
association is gonna admit anything?

You don't have any friends, Ayla,
on either side of the fence.

The president just made a statement
about free speech.

Now you're gonna start kicking
reporters out of the White House?

- No. Just you.
- No, not just me!

You're fucking with
the second largest daily in America.

You can get rid of me, but you can't
get rid of the institution I work for.

You done?

Don't let your 15 minutes
of power go to your head, Seth.

You can keep the plastic if you want...
as a souvenir.

That's all it's good for, now.

Hello?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

Okay.

Fuck.

I need to speak to the president.

Through our laws,
we seek to create a more perfect union.

Government officials who abuse the law,

or, at the very least, exploit the edges
of it for their own personal gain,

tarnish our democracy and weaken
the bonds of our great nation.

The Democratic Party
must step out of the shadow

of scandal and redefine itself.

I want her here
when she's done with this stunt.

Embracing a new era of transparency,
honesty and justice,

this country deserves a president
who has dedicated herself

to those ideals in this court

and many others, who has spent
her entire life defending the law,

and who now wants to dedicate herself
to enforcing it.

Let's restore integrity
to the Oval Office.

Use its power to root out corruption
and lead by example.

Today, before my family and friends,

my God, and the highest court
in our land,

I announce my candidacy for President
of the United States of America.

There was no indication
Ms. Dunbar had plans to run for president.

This will make her the second Solicitor
General in history to run for president,

the only other being
William Howard Taft in 1908.

With President Underwood
declaring he will not--

- Mr. President.
- Ms. Dunbar.

Please, take a seat.

- My letter of resignation.
- I can't accept that.

You're too valuable to us.

I can't run for office
as Solicitor General.

Then you should reconsider
running for office.

It's too late for that, I think.

I don't understand, Heather.

I offered you a seat
on the Supreme Court.

If Jacobs was stepping down,
which he isn't.

You spoke to him.

As Solicitor General,
I'm friendly with all the justices.

I keep those relationships private
so no one will suspect any bias toward me.

But Robert and I are very close.

He and Ruth have me over
for dinner once a month.

So you already knew
about the Alzheimer's?

He told me the day he was diagnosed.

I've never had anything
but his best interests at heart.

You don't care about Robert.

You wanted to sideline me.

So you actually think
you have a shot at this office?

Yes, I do.
And so does the leadership.

You're in over your head, Heather,

no matter what Birch
and Womack are telling you.

Why should it concern you,
Mr. President?

You've announced
that you're not running.

- Is this personal for you?
- Don't flatter yourself.

You got Walker, but you couldn't get me.

I don't have to run to make sure you
leave office. You couldn't win anyway.

I'm running because I know
I'd make a good president.

You might very well
make a good president.

But right now, you're being delusional.

When Birch approached me, I wasn't sure.

I was tempted,
but I knew it was a long shot.

And when you offered the nomination,
I was overwhelmed.

It's what I'd been working toward
my entire career.

But then I spoke to Robert.

And when he told me how you
threatened him, I knew I had to run.

Someone needs to scrub the stink
from this office.

- I didn't threaten him.
- What would you call it?

I was trying to save him,

in the same way I'm trying
to save you now.

Once the news of his Alzheimer's
gets out, which it will,

because no matter how much we all
try to lie about it, it's gonna leak,

can you imagine what
that's going to do to his reputation?

He deserves better than that.

And you deserve better
than being an also-ran.

Help me convince him.

Take the seat on the court
where you belong.

Is this how you live with yourself?

By rationalizing the obscene
into the palatable?

I haven't excused you yet.

See you in Iowa.

I wouldn't have made it through
the past eight months without my faith.

But I wouldn't have made it
without this community, either.

And on tough days...

I remind myself of that.

That I'm not alone.

That I have all of you.

And I think it's important
to acknowledge that.

To give thanks.

So thank you.

All of you.

For always being there.
For always being here.

I have to go.
I'll see you soon.

Hey.
I just wanted to say, what you said...

it really connected with me.

- About community.
- Thank you.

- Yeah.
- I'm glad.

- I'm Lisa. Hi.
- Of course. Max. Hi.

- You're new.
- It was my first time, actually.

- Do you live around here?
- Towson. Just drove up.

How did you find out about us?

Online. Website.

Yeah, I was surfing around, and I was...
I was looking for something and...

- It's stupid.
- No. No, no.

- Tell me.
- Um...

Okay, well, a few months ago, this girl...

Um...

The love of my life, actually...

- Breakup?
- She just left me.

Out of the blue.

You know, one day she just said
it was over and that was it.

Yeah. That's hard.

I went through something similar
not that long ago.

Oh, really?

Sort of what I was talking about tonight
with the hard time I had been through.

What happened?

Oh...

Ancient history.

A guy left you?

- It was a woman.
- Oh.

I guess I'm not completely over it,
but time heals, you know?

Mm-hmm.

I gotta get home,
but it was nice to meet you, Max.

Nice meeting you, Lisa.

Can we reschedule?
Let me see.

Yeah, yeah.
Can you move that up by a half an hour?

- Hello?
- Is this a good time, Ms. Dunbar?

- Who is this?
- Doug Stamper.

How did you get this number?

Phone numbers are easy.
What you should be asking

is how I knew you were meeting
with Senator Giallo tonight.

Look down the hallway.

- Go ahead. I'll meet you down there.
- All right.

No. Stay where you are.
We wouldn't want to be seen together.

Did the president send you?

No. He and I aren't in touch.

Then why are you here?

You're forming your team.
I want to be a part of it.

- The real reason.
- That is the reason.

He sent you. Don't lie to me.

I've been out of the game
for nine months, Ms. Dunbar.

I want to get back in.

You're forming your team,

and I want to get in
on the ground floor.

The leadership isn't enough.

You need the rank and file.

Their connections to county
and municipal power brokers.

The chiefs of a thousand kingdoms

in every primary
from Iowa to Super Tuesday.

I worked in the whip's office
for ten years.

I have files on every single member.

What they want, who they sleep with,
what they eat for lunch.

I can be valuable to you.

How did you know I was meeting
with Giallo tonight?

You rub shoulders with the leadership.

I rub shoulders with the people
who work for them.

Think about it, Ms. Dunbar.
That's all I ask.

Going down.

I made a mistake.

I mean, the way she spoke
to me in the Oval,

I wanted to strangle her.

I mean, what is she thinking?

Running against an incumbent when
I offered her a seat on the court--

She was going to run the moment
Birch whispered in her ear.

Once people imagine themselves
in the Oval, there's no turning back.

You know that as well as anybody.

It's my own damn fault.
Shouldn't have given Jacobs the choice.

I should've just announced her
nomination before I even asked her.

- Should I come home?
- No.

I just need to think.
I need to clear my head.

Tell me what I can do.

Why did I hold back?

Why did I show Jacobs any mercy?

Francis, this doesn't sound like you.

Put this behind you.
Think about what's next.

It was because of Mahmoud.

I let him get to me.

And all those flags on those coffins
and those soldiers, whose--

I deployed and then
I buried in the ground. It's my--

Stop it. This isn't doing you any good.

I will talk about this
with you if you want,

but if you're doubting yourself,
I can't indulge that.

No, you're right, of course.

Well, let's talk in the morning.

- I'm here if you need me.
- I know.

- Good night.
- Good night, Francis.

Yes, can you reach out
to Bishop Eddis for me?

I'll hold.

Thank you, Meechum.

- If we can have some privacy.
- Yes, sir.

Still riding the Bonneville?

Sold the '67 for a Pipeburn.
Beautiful bike.

You should take me for a spin sometime.

I don't think so.

They're a death wish.

At least you know
you have a place in heaven.

What's on your mind, Mr. President?

The burial the other day.

You talked about Abraham and Isaac.
God giving up his only Son.

Between you and me, that's the same
sermon I always use at Arlington.

You put enough soldiers in the ground,
you get tired of writing new ones.

- It was the first time I had heard it.
- Won't be the last.

I want to understand what justice is.

That's a big one.

I know.

There's our justice,
the kind men create.

We base it on things
like the Ten Commandments.

But those can be read
a million different ways.

"Thou shalt not kill"
seems pretty clear.

Who's to say? If we didn't kill,

others would kill instead of us.

There's a lot of killing in the Bible.

King David was a warrior.

How do you reconcile that
with the laws that God gave Moses?

Even those laws require interpretation.

There are two laws we have to remember
above all else.

He tells us to love God

and to love each other.

You can't love the people you kill.

You sure as hell can.

And you have to love the people
who are trying to kill you.

Jesus loved the Romans.

"Father, forgive them," he said,
"for they know not what they do."

Why didn't he fight?

Why did he allow himself
to be sacrificed?

I ask myself that question a lot.

I understand the Old Testament God,

whose power is absolute,

who rules through fear, but... him.

There's no such thing
as absolute power for us,

except on the receiving end.

Using fear will get you nowhere.

It's not your job
to determine what's just.

It's not your place to choose
the version of God you like best.

It's not your duty
to serve this country alone,

and it better not be your goal
to simply serve yourself.

You serve the Lord.

And through him, you serve others.

Two rules:
Love God. Love each other.

Period.

You weren't chosen, Mr. President.

Only he was.

May I have a few moments?

For myself. To pray.

It's all yours.

Love?

That's what you're selling?

Well, I don't buy it.

Is everything all right, sir?

I was praying and it just fell.

Please have someone clean this up.

Yes, sir.

Well, I've got God's ear now.
