[Aaron] Previously
on Designated Survivor...

Can you run a plate?

[Aaron] The car comes back
to the Russian Embassy.

But Damian's MI6.

Yes. He may have turned.

You lied to me.

[gasping]

We need to talk.

You joined British intelligence
but worked with the Russians.

We have a case against you for espionage.

Answer our questions.

Hacking's one thing
I've been working on solving for Russia.

Someone is hunting big game.

Russia and the US are both targets.

- What now?
- You'll be charged.

- And the help I gave you?
- Will be considered.

Who do you blame for Alex's death?

Evan Beeman killed my wife.

That's who's responsible.
Who do you blame?

You must find a way
to acknowledge your grief.

Would you say
your treatment here has been fair?

Yes, sir.

[Tom] Good. I want you to remember,

for the rest of your life,
what you took from me.

That went viral 20 minutes ago.

How did this get out?

[Lyor] Someone hacked
into the prison system.

[Seth] But how?

[anchor] Tom Kirkman, American Caesar,

hauling a convicted felon in front of him
so he can dress him down.

It's the video
the country can't stop talking about.

And the White House can't start.

Executive overreach caught on camera.

The issue is as black and white
as the video sweeping the nation.

Right. There's no gray area.
The president was wrong.

Sir, the problem isn't just the video.
It's that we're not spinning it.

[Seth] The media's doing it for us.

They're calling you imperial,
angry, distraught.

[sternly] Yeah, I am angry and distraught.

What do you suggest?

That we issue a statement
to express remorse.

You were in the throes of grief.
The visit was ill-advised.

It was an inadvertent executive overreach.

But you respect the justice system.

Acknowledge Beeman is entitled to
serve his sentence without interference.

- I'm not saying any of that.
- Sir...

I never said Beeman was a monster.

But through his negligence,
his carelessness, he killed my wife.

I won't apologize
for taking him to task for that.

And it doesn't make me a dictator.

It makes me human.

A human being whose unfavorables are up
and approval ratings are way down.

They're polls. They'll bounce back.

The question is, who leaked the video?

Agent Wells is overseeing
the investigation.

She's debriefing the prison's IT experts,
looking into their security.

We'll let you know
when she's done working it.

"Work." There's an idea.

You have a sit-down
with the Fed chairman later.

And the board
of Alex's charitable foundation

has its inaugural meeting
in the Roosevelt Room,

among other items on your agenda.

How many other items?

Let's get cracking.

So the president works in the building
during the tours?

Yes. This is not a museum.
This is the People's House.

That's lovely. And this area connects
the East and West Wings?

Yes, this is the juncture.

Excuse me, what are you doing?
Get up right now.

[indistinct chatter]

- This is Simmons. We have a problem.
- [man over radio] Copy that.

[Seth] The president must address
the prison thing.

- He does.
- You're supposed to wrangle him.

- I am.
- But you're not.

I'm loving this declarative sentence
thing. Uh, my turn.

Tom Kirkman is my boss.
My job is to advise, not compel.

And would you please disintegrate?

That last one was an interrogatory,
not a declaration.

- I'm branching out.
- [Mike] Hey.

There's a problem with a tour.

Tell them they can't sit
at the Resolute Desk.

Good, 'cause 30 people are happy
parking it in the hallway.

It's a sit-in. They're with some tribe.

- You say "tribe"?
- Yeah. They're being removed.

Removed? Is the White House press corps
in the building?

Yeah, my briefing's in an hour.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- [indistinct chatter]
- [Lyor chuckles nervously]

What's going on?
These people are our guests.

Stop. Stop. Stop!

Uncuff him, please. Uncuff him.

- Thank you. Uncuff him.
- Now.

Good. As you were, sir.
As you were, please.

There's nothing to see here.
It's just civic engagement,

which the White House heartily endorses.
You can quote me on that.

[chuckles] All right. You guys all good?

Anybody want a coffee or a donut?

They're the Ocheole tribe,
from just outside Pensacola.

Their leader, Lacey Cousins,
wants an audience with the president.

- To discuss what?
- She wouldn't say.

You don't get to sit-down
at the White House

and demand a meeting
with the leader of the free world.

You do if CNN's picked up the story.
God, I hate a free press.

The feeling's mutual.

Um, I'll sit down with Ms. Cousins.

Okay. Then I can say
she met with senior staff.

Not good enough.

I'm sorry, Have you, uh...
Have you seen Lyor?

He's 5'10". Blue eyes.
Definitely dropped on his head.

It's optics, Seth.

This prison video depicts the president
as heartless and heavy-handed.

What better counterpoint than a meeting
with an historically oppressed minority?

One that makes him look calm,
humane, thoughtful.

Presidential.

Or everybody can replay the video
of the Ocheole getting arrested.

This'll be a nice companion piece
to the president berating a prisoner.

Good morning.

Gary, good to see you.
Thank you for coming.

It's good to see you too.

Having you as a trustee
for Alex's foundation

would've meant the world to her.
Thank you.

Tom, it's good to see you.

I was told you were gonna be delayed.

Shuffled a few work things.
Caught an early flight. How are the kids?

They're doing the best they can.

Sorry we didn't get to talk
at Alex's funeral,

- but I'm honored to be a trustee.
- Right.

Kendra, this is my brother, Trey.
Kendra's the White House's counsel.

- Of course. It's a pleasure.
- Same.

If you could give us a moment...

Ah, Attorney-client privilege.
I know all about it.

I give you my proxy.
Tell me when this is over.

Yes, sir.

- How many people are in the sit-in?
- Approximately 30.

- Her name is Cousins?
- Ms. Cousins.

Thank you.

- Ms. Cousins.
- Mr. President.

You should know
that I don't usually meet with people

who engage in obstructive behavior,
especially in this building.

Yes, sir.

But I am more than aware that this nation

has treated its indigenous peoples
very, very harshly.

So I would like to hear
what you have to say. Please, sit.

Thank you, sir. I'll be brief.

Eighteen years ago,
the Ocheole were victims of eminent domain

to make way for a commercial development.

We were removed from our homes
and forced onto a small plot of land.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Now we're being evicted again.

Phase two, the developer calls it.

We're a small tribe.

And each relocation severs our connection
to our land and each other.

Ma'am, eminent domain is a local matter.

[Tom] I'm afraid Emily's right.

Regardless of how moved I may be
by your complaint,

this is not a matter
for the federal government.

No, sir. But it involves you.

[chuckles softly] I'm sorry.
I don't follow.

The development was
the Wannachobee project outside Pensacola.

The developer went out of state
to hire someone

who specialized
in complicated land use issues.

Wannachobee.

Yes. They tapped a young architect
who fiercely advocated

for the conversion of our land
for commercial use.

- You're saying I did this to you?
- Yes, sir.

And if you don't help us now,
our tribe is going to vanish forever.

[theme music playing]

Subtitles by explosiveskull

[knock at door]

Mr. President.

Billy!

Great to see you.

- Thank you for coming.
- Of course.

This is my Chief of Staff, Emily Rhodes.

Billy was my first hire
at my architecture firm.

He ran point on the Wannachobee project.
Please.

- Heard a lot about you, Mr. Winton.
- Billy.

- I could tell you stories about him.
- [chuckles]

Eighteen-hour days.
Chewing coffee beans to stay awake.

That's because we couldn't work
the coffee machine.

Billy was 23 when I hired him.
Looked like he was 12.

You've come a long way.

I learned from the best.

Well, I clearly wasn't at my best
when I drew this up.

What have you found out?

I went through all the papers.

The Ocheole weren't
a federally recognized tribe.

Of the 1,400 families that we relocated,

barely a few hundred
identified as Ocheole.

They weren't raising much of a stink
at the time.

[sighs] I don't remember any opposition.

If I'd known about this,
I would not have done it.

Of course not.
There wasn't much organized opposition.

That's 'cause we convinced the county

to compensate people for their homes
above market value.

Wannachobee's thriving.

It's become one of the most profitable
mixed-use developments in the country.

It's environmentally sound,
aesthetically pleasing.

What about the housing
that the residents were relocated to?

That neighborhood
hasn't fared quite as well.

Lower middle-class. High unemployment.

Is our old client, Alton Prast,
still involved?

Oh, yeah. Alton will outlive Methuselah.
He's building phase two.

He always seemed reasonable.

What if he met with Lacey Cousins,
made a deal?

- I'll set it up.
- [Tom] Thank you.

I hear Trey's here.

Yeah.

Think I could talk him into
beer and wings?

It's been a long time.

If you foot the bill,
you could talk him into anything.

That's what the corporate card is for.

[Chuck] I've had a team
working on the prison hack 24/7.

We scanned the prison mainframe's OS.

Confirmed that their system
had been hacked.

Let me guess. The same signature
as our NASA and ROSCOSMOS hacks.

[Chuck] Yes. An embedded code. 06231912.

- Meaning what?
- [Chuck] No clue.

Could be, uh, a cipher,

a randomly generated number,
a polynomial artifact.

But why would someone target
both rockets and prisons?

What's the connection?

Is it a state actor? A consortium?
Who or what is behind this?

I already said I don't know.

Why don't I believe you?

Why am I wearing an ankle bracelet
when I've been helping?

It's either that
or a 30-year term for espionage.

Pony up with something
if you wanna stay out of prison.

Valeria Poriskova.

Who's she?

My handler at the Russian Embassy.

She was running my hacking investigation.

Maybe she'd be willing to pool resources.

When did you contact her last?

Three months ago. Before you shot me.

[Aaron] But not since?

No. The Russians think I'm dead.

Seems that everyone is underestimating
your resilience.

I know Valeria really well.
I'll brief you.

We have a dossier.

There's stuff that won't be
in the dossier...

I'd rather not get fed
before I know what I'm eating.

If we have more questions,
we know where to find you.

You know, I'm liking you more each day.

[indistinct chatter]

Ms. Poriskova? Thank you for meeting me.

What is this about?

My government wants to pool intelligence.

I don't know what you mean.
I'm a cultural attaché.

[scoffs] And I'm the queen of England.

Look, our governments have been targets
of the same hacker.

We saved the astronauts together,
but our common enemy is out there,

and his targets include the United States
and Russia.

I don't know
about any hacking investigation.

That's not what Damian Rennett says.
And I know you've been running him.

So it is true, then.
The traitor is not dead.

I'm not here to talk about him.
I'm here about the hack.

So talk.

I can take liberties on American soil
that you can't.

So, show me what you have
and let's nail this guy.

You want us to continue cooperating?
We are happy to.

Right after you return Damian to us.

That's not gonna happen.

- Then we have nothing to talk about.
- [sighs]

We return him to you, we need assurance
that Russia won't liquidate him.

That he can still function
as a joint resource.

Would your government give such assurances

if one of your spies sought refuge
at the Kremlin?

Yes, if the spy had knowledge
that would help our countries.

The knowledge that Damian has
belongs to us. As he does.

You are only borrowing him.
But that lease will soon be up.

Anything happens to him, you'll regret it.

I imagine you know something about regret.

Excuse me?

He will compromise you.
Just like he compromised me.

Alton, in short,
I'm proposing a land swap.

A parcel of federal land that's very close
to the current developments.

But not contiguous
and not near the highway.

I realize it's a big ask.
But if my people are uprooted,

we lose our ancestral land
and our heritage.

I'm sorry for your plight,
but the answer is no.

Alton, please.

The time for this fight was 18 years ago.

My late father, Jacob,
was the tribal chairman then.

He was old. Opposition was beyond him.
But it's not beyond me.

The law is.

Mr. President, you were a great architect.

This development of yours
has created thousands of jobs.

It's added millions to the economy.

We should both be proud of it.

And I have no intention of undoing it.

Ms. Cousins,
I know this isn't what you want.

But if you would be willing
to take the land swap instead,

the government would make it
worth your while.

Sir, my people trace our roots back
800 years to the Florida Peninsula.

We were 90,000-strong at our peak.

- You know how many Ocheole are left?
- No, ma'am.

Fourteen hundred.

And every time we move,
more of our people scatter.

Our current situation is not ideal.

Whatever it looks like now,

for generations, we've planted
on this land and fished on it.

Our ancestors are buried on it.

And if we leave,
we're signing our people's death warrant.

Excuse me.

I'm very sorry, Mr. President,
but what's done can't be undone.

If I believed that,
I wouldn't have taken this job.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

[Emily sighs]

Know the longest sit-in
at a federal building?

Twenty-five days.

They can't stay here.

The dirt on those floors. Ugh.
The saddle sores.

I've rerouted traffic
and canceled today's tours.

That kid on the computer
is a real trooper.

He's protesting and working.
He's a good multitasker.

- This can't continue.
- [sighs]

You're right. But here's the thing.

Film crews are waiting for these people
to be cuffed.

That's not gonna happen.

So either we negotiate
our way out of this,

or the Ocheole may have just found
new tribal land. [chuckles]

The First Lady's proposal was to apportion
the foundation's assets equally

to refugee assistance groups,
homeless shelters for girls

and heart disease research. Any objection?

Yes. Uh, I'm not convinced
this is an ideal allocation.

I'd like to continue discussion.

All due respect, Trey,
we've been debating this for two hours.

I thought the idea
was to rubber-stamp Alex's wishes.

I think the idea was
for the trustees to weigh in

or we wouldn't be asked to vote.

[Gary] Come on, Trey...

Kendra, am I being out of line?

If not, we still have stuff to flesh out.

[smacks lips]

Trey's right.
The charter requires a unanimous vote.

Let's keep talking.

[Emily] Hey, how goes it?

Slow. The president's brother
is pretty deliberate.

What's his story?

Kirkman's only sibling.
Successful trader out of New York.

I've never heard the president
mention his name.

They're in and out of each other's lives.
Mostly out.

There's history.
He doesn't talk about it.

Alex must have liked him.

All trustees are important figures
in her life.

- You need to see something now.
- What?

[Lacey] I'm so grateful
to my brothers and sisters

from tribal nations all over the country.

More joining every hour.

Here to support the Ocheole people
in our struggle to save our sacred land.

[reporter] Did you meet
with the president?

[Lacey] Yes.

He offered us a land swap
and here's what I told him:

No to selling out our heritage.

No to an architect who was paid
to put us in this situation. No.

[protestors chanting] Save our land!

- Seth...
- I'm on it.

- [chanting continues]
- [mutes TV]

We've got dozens of Ocheole
staging a protest here.

Other tribes staging a protest outside.

And no way to remove them
without handcuffs and a paddy wagon.

You know what we need
to tell the president?

I do. "You broke it, you fix it."

Yeah.

Damn it.

- [reporters clamoring]
- The president was not aware

he was displacing the Ocheole
when he was hired.

- Is he trying to resolve the situation?
- [Seth] Yes.

He's met with the head
of the Ocheole and the developer.

He's consulting with
the Alachua County Land Use Commission.

- [clamoring]
- What would the president say

to the 60 tribes
protesting outside the White House?

That he respects the Ocheole's plight

and, um, he's working hard
to craft a solution.

Commissioner, I know the protestors
on Pennsylvania Avenue aren't permitted.

But I would appreciate it
if no one was removed.

Thank you for your understanding. Goodbye.

I spoke to the Bureau of Indian Affairs
about recognizing the Ocheole as a nation.

Good. Then we could put the land
in a trust, stop further development.

The BIA has declined
to recognize the Ocheole in the past.

If we renew the application,
it could take years.

[sighs] Could we give them federal
recognition with an executive order?

It's an end run,
but there's no procedural bar.

Start the process.

I also need to update you
on your wife's foundation.

- Is it settled?
- No, sir.

We may have a problem. It's your brother.

Trey, you know the definition of irony?

I'm sure you'll enlighten me.

My brother, who I haven't had
a meaningful conversation with

in God knows how long, goes into a meeting
about my wife's legacy

and makes himself the center of attention!

That wasn't my goal.

- Then what was?
- To get your attention.

- You've got it. What do you want?
- To fix things between us.

- Why now?
- Tom...

Seriously, why now?

I get tenure at Columbia,
you send an e-mail two months later.

You hadn't returned my calls.

My staff didn't know you existed because
you've never been to a function here.

You know I travel for business.

You show up at my wife's funeral
and don't talk to me.

'Cause you were surrounded
by Secret Service.

[scoffs] Same old Trey.
Always got an excuse.

I don't need an excuse. I can explain.

Every time I reach out to you,
you don't reach back.

You don't treat me like a brother.
You treat me like an infection.

'Cause you're a runner.
That's what you do. You run.

That was a long time ago.

Not for me. Our mother was dying.

For three years,
I did all I could to hold it together.

You know what you were doing?

Backpacking in Bali. Surfing in Maui.

That's not why I left.

[scoffs] I can't wait to hear this one.
Why'd you leave, Trey?

Because I was a screw-up.
The problem child.

I knew if I stayed,

everyone would be taking care of me
instead of Mom.

Going was my way of helping.

Do you know how selfish you sound?

You leaving hurt Mom more
than your staying ever could have.

I'm sorry.

If you're honestly sorry,
you'll go back in there,

sign off on Alex's wishes and leave.

[typing]

What are you working on?

College application essay.

Where are you applying?

- Wesleyan's my first choice.
- I'm class of 2003.

I do alumni interviews,
go to reunions. The whole shebang.

What's your essay about?

- It's why I want to be a radiologist.
- No, that's terrible.

One of the application suggestions
was to write about future goals.

It's a trap.

If you write about
something boring like that,

they'll use your application as kindling.

Uh, separate yourself from the pack.

You have to write about, uh...

Well, I know exactly
what you can write about.

The time you heroically participated
in a White House sit-in.

- But I'm still participating.
- That's fine.

The application doesn't come
with sodium pentothal.

Here, give it.

I'm supposed to write it myself.

Oh, you will.
I'll give you a couple of pointers.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Alton's offering $20 million
to the displaced families,

in addition to what the county's
giving them for eminent domain.

That's generous.

But money is not the answer.

This is their land.
It's what defines them.

Historically, our country has treated
its indigenous people shamefully.

We've taken what we've wanted,
whenever we want.

Now, I've contributed to the shame.

- How?
- Because I missed this.

I was so focused on my company's success,
I got sloppy.

You couldn't have known about the Ocheole.

I should have,
but I didn't do my due diligence properly.

I can't escape my role in this.

There's been a hiccup.

Alton Prast has moved
to enjoin your executive order.

Son of a bitch.

We must neutralize this opposition.
Whatever it takes.

[Trey] All the 2009 Yankees signed this?

Yep. I was only missing
Mariano's signature.

- How'd you wrangle it?
- Made my dad invite him for dinner.

More effective than my method,

which was ambushing the players
outside Tavern on the Green.

[Leo laughs]

There's a Capitals game tonight.

Secret Service is a pain,
but we'll have the whole row to ourselves.

Oh, I'd love to go, buddy.
I gotta catch a plane. Get back to work.

But you have an office here.
You can telecommute.

No, it's not that simple.

It is. [chuckles softly]

You're family, but we never see you.

We're not exactly having
big Sunday dinners around here.

I know.

Stick around for once.

Please.

We need you, Uncle Trey.

And I'm here for you.
But your dad and me...

If my mom's death
doesn't bring you two together,

what's going to?

Whatever the issue is,
how can it matter this much?

What matters is that
I love you and your sister.

And I'm just a phone call away.

I'll see you soon.

[Paul] Your prison hack investigation
must've stirred things up.

[Hannah] Paul, is this accurate?

Accurate enough
to bring to your attention.

There'll be an attempt on Damian's life.

That's what the chatter says.

Who's after him?

Who isn't?
The Russians want him dead.

The British see him as the greatest
traitor since the Cambridge Five.

Our mysterious hacker
wants Damian off his tail.

- So what do you suggest?
- Cut him loose.

- Thanks for the intel.
- Hannah...

This guy's radioactive.

You don't wanna be around
if this thing goes south.

"I believe I can contribute to the success
of the Wesleyan student body,

and that's why I'm sitting down,
writing to you now."

- Okay.
- Is it good?

Yes, it's very good.
If by "good," you mean bad.

Sorry,
I shouldn't mix criticism with praise.

Uh, this shows
a firm grasp of the alphabet.

A sit-in's a bad idea
for an application essay.

It's not the subject.
It's how you treat it.

You're writing about civil disobedience.

- Give the topic sense of jeopardy.
- Jeopardy?

There you were, on the barricades,
fighting for your life.

Aware that every moment
could be your last. That kind of thing.

I really don't like this topic.

You need to look at this essay
like your future depends on it.

[sighs] What do you do around here?

I bring the magic.

Yeah? All right. The place is clean.
No bugs. No hidden cameras.

How long do I have to stay here for?

Until we know we can keep you safe.
You need us, you call us.

Oh, on a phone you're monitoring.

That's more freedom than you deserve.

It was real, you know.

I know you think I worked you.

And I did, but...

I cared.

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

No, you played me.

And that's not even the worst part.

The worst part is you're still doing it.

[all chanting] Save our land!
Save our land!

Save our land! Save our land!

600 people are in front
of the White House,

- and the number keeps growing.
- [Kendra] I know.

I guess court didn't go well.

Judge shut us down.
I filed for an appeal.

I got documents that belonged
to Lacey Cousins' father,

but there's no filing system.

The Ocheole are trending on Twitter.

Great. Our PR problem's
getting worse by the minute.

Ms. Daynes...

Willens gave an interview about
how out of touch the White House is.

The prison visit,
the Wannachobee project...

- Ms. Daynes?
- One second.

We need to turn this plane around
before it crashes.

You mean,
"before the ship hits the iceberg."

Same thing.

More people die in shipwrecks
than plane crashes.

More planes crash than ships wreck.

- Oh, my God, you two.
- Ms. Daynes?

- What is it?
- I found something.

It's a letter Ms. Cousins' father sent
to the president's architectural firm

before Alton Prast broke ground
on the project.

Thank you.

Hmm.

- [Billy] Mr. President.
- Do you recognize this?

No.

It's a letter addressed to me,
dated February 2000,

from tribal chairman Jacob Cousins,
begging me to turn down Prast's commission

because of what the development
would do to his people.

Except I never saw it. [inhales sharply]

Only two of us were working at the time.

You were handling the mail.

I know this is hard to understand.

I just wanted to help you.

Did you deliberately withhold
this letter from me?

- Yes.
- [sighs] Why?

We needed the work.

We were doing fine.

No, we weren't.
You kept turning down commissions.

"This development
would affect the water table.

That development was racially polarizing."

Those things mattered to me!

We would've gone under
and I didn't want you to fail.

I didn't want us to fail.

What you don't understand is we did fail.
Right then.

An architect's first responsibility
is to the people

who are affected by his work.

That's the wrong way to look at it.

There is no other way.

Here's one. The Wannachobee project
launched your firm.

It made you one of the most
influential architects on the East Coast,

which led to your academic career,
your HUD appointment,

which led to this office...

where you've done so much good.
Helped so many people.

And if this development is the cost...

[sighs]

Goodbye, Billy.

I appreciate
your acceptance of responsibility,

but it won't solve our problem.

The White House Counsel
is working to stay the injunction.

Respectfully, sir, to what end?

In the history of the United States,
the judiciary has given Natives nothing.

- I know.
- Just like Congress.

All the treaties the US government broke,
failed to enforce...

Treaties?

Yes, sir. The Pickering Treaty.
Potawatomi Treaty.

Treaty K. I can go on and on.

Were the Ocheole signatories to any?

I don't believe so.

But they could've been.
Your people were there, right?

Sir?

Get me Kendra Daynes.

[Alton] A 200-year-old treaty
between Spain and the United States.

Is this a joke?

No, Alton, it's not.

In the 1700s, the kingdom of Spain

made deals with the indigenous peoples
of the Florida Peninsula.

In exchange for various guarantees,

Spain agreed
to safeguard the tribal lands.

[Emily] Spain finally ceded Florida
to the US in 1819.

We took responsibility for those treaties,
which are still in play.

So the development can't proceed.

You won't be taking any more land
from these people.

Not today, tomorrow or ever.

Eighteen years ago,
I took a chance on a young architect

that no one had ever heard of.
I built your reputation.

And now you repay me by undermining me?

Let's talk about undermining.

You and Billy lied to me.

You hid the impact of what our development
would do to these people.

What choice did I have?

Your scruples got in the way of progress.

Billy knew that.
That's why he worked with me.

Your problem wasn't my scruples.
It was your lack of them.

Maybe you'll find some on the way out.

Ms. Cousins, your land will remain yours.
The treaty is binding, no matter what.

I don't know how to thank you.

I do.

Tell your people who are sitting outside
to stand up.

They can go home now.

[cheering]

[cheering]

Um, kid...

[indistinct chatter]

So this isn't what we talked about at all.

I know. It's better.

"This is a story about how I was co-opted
by a government official..."

- That's me, I take it.
- Mmm-hmm.

"...bullied by a tyrannical establishment,
and how I fought for my basic rights."

You said to use historical allusions.
I compared you to Mao.

Mao. Yes, I got that.

Uh, "All petty despots seek to trample
the free speech rights of their citizens.

All free peoples must assert
their fundamental liberty."

- "Trample"?
- Trample.

- "Petty despot," huh?
- Yeah.

- You know what I think?
- What?

You punched your ticket to Wesleyan.

[smirks] Yeah. Tons of jeopardy
in there too. I loved it.

[intruder grunts]

What the hell?

You're welcome.

[Hannah] No prints back on our friend yet.
Car plates come back stolen.

[Aaron] How'd he get in?

He jumped the roof
of a neighboring complex.

He entered through a vent.

We had him all the way. No doubt.

Hey, Chuck, where are we with his laptop?

We recovered one from his trunk.

Good news, bad news situation. [sighs]

The bad news is
I can't get past the firewalls.

And?

Good news. I tapped into
enough of the motherboard

to recognize
the same programming signature

as our previous hacks.

Right. Our would-be assassin
did act more like a trained operative.

My guess is he's not a techie
and the hacker gave him the laptop.

And didn't want anyone accessing it
because it was a blueprint to get to me.

So the space station and prison hacks,
the attempt on Damian,

- it's all connected?
- Yeah.

You used me as bait.

You told Valeria I was alive
to see if the Russians wanted me dead.

Yes, but they didn't. They knew
you could help us solve the hack.

Which is why the hacker wanted you dead
and Russia doesn't. At least not yet.

Maybe you should think twice
next time you try to get me killed.

Maybe you should tell us
everything you know.

The attempt on your life says you haven't.

Let's get that laptop to IT at the bureau.

IT? Fine.

[Aaron] What just happened?

Someone hacked the battery.
Set it to overheat.

Is it salvageable?

I'm thinking no.

[Tom] Burgers tonight, right?

[indistinct chatter on TV]

I need to ask you a question.

Sure. What is it?

Did you tell Uncle Trey to go?

Is that what he said?

No. He didn't say anything.

I know why he's never here.
You don't make him feel welcome.

It's not that simple, Leo.

You and Uncle Trey,
you're exactly the same.

If Penny and I weren't on good terms,
what would you do?

- You wouldn't stand for it, right?
- Leo...

No, no.
You're always talking about family.

But what about ours?

Mom's gone. Grandma moved back to Paris.

We need Uncle Trey in our lives.

But every time one of you walks in,
the other walks out.

That's not what family does, right?

[smacks lips]

No, it's not.

[sighs] We should be hearing applause
over the Ocheole resolution,

but it's not getting any press.

Because it's prison-palooza.

[Seth] He's right.
Three news cycles in a row.

Rampant speculation about the president's
state of mind, fitness.

We either put this behind us
or it starts defining his presidency.

Look, guys, we've been over this.
The president won't address it.

[Tom] Yes, the president will.

I wanna thank you for bearing with me.

I'm still pretty new at this.

Sometimes I forget, as president,

my actions are seen around the world
and I have to be held accountable.

Answer for them, even if I don't want to.

You'll issue a statement?

I'm prepared to do more than that.

Thank you.

Good evening, my fellow Americans.

Many of you have seen
a video of me confronting the man

whose negligence
resulted in my wife's death.

That visit was unfair to a man
who had already been tried and convicted

and unbecoming
to the holder of this office.

[sighs softly]

I am your president.

But I am also a man who recently
lost his wife of 18 years.

I struggle with that every day.

And sometimes,
that struggle gets the better of me.

But I make you this vow.

I will work every day
trying to be a better man tomorrow

than I was the day before.

And a better president.

Because that's what
the American people deserve.

I can only hope that you can understand
and accept my apology.

God bless you.

And God bless
these United States of America.

[man] And we're clear.

[whispers] That'll do.

I was at the gate when I got the call.

I know. I'm glad they caught you.
Please, sit.

I saw your apology. It was good.

Thank you. That was the public one.

I owe a private one. To you.

You don't.

Yeah, I do, Trey. [sighs]

I'm your older brother.
I'm supposed to help you.

Whatever happened,
whatever I think happened,

I need to let go of. I need to move on.
It doesn't matter anymore.

'Cause we're family.

Yeah.

You know what it's like having
Tom Kirkman as your brother?

Eagle Scout. Summa cum laude.
Rhodes Scholar.

No one ever expected you
to do all those things.

[chuckles wistfully]

Because I couldn't.

It's why I stopped trying.
It's why I got into trouble.

If I couldn't be good, then...

Might as well be bad.

Yeah.

[inhales sharply] I think I figured out
why Alex wanted you as a trustee.

It was her way of, one day,
bringing us back together.

Making sure I could look out for you.

I think she wanted me to look out for you.

[chuckles]

Seriously?

Alex called me
right when you got sworn in.

She said you had the loneliest job
in the world.

I... I miss her so much, Trey.

I lost one of my oldest friends today.

I don't wanna lose anyone else.

You never lost me, Tom.
I just couldn't find my way back.

I promise you, I won't run again.

Okay.

[sighs] I don't know
exactly what to do right now.

Me neither. But we'll do it together.

Yeah.

Yeah.
