1
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:21,655
You have made
a very big mistake,

2
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:23,057
Mr. Dalton.

3
00:00:23,091 --> 00:00:25,259
I can't imagine what
you hoped to achieve

4
00:00:25,293 --> 00:00:27,561
with this vicious and
unwarranted attack

5
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:29,230
but I promise you,

6
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:31,732
we will meet you
in equal measure.

7
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:34,535
President Ostrov,
I can assure you

8
00:00:34,568 --> 00:00:36,470
that the United States
is just learning of this

9
00:00:36,504 --> 00:00:37,438
with the rest of the world.

10
00:00:37,471 --> 00:00:39,507
Your lies are beneath you.

11
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,210
And they are an insult to
myself and the Russian people.

12
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:43,477
You will pay for this.

13
00:00:43,511 --> 00:00:46,147
I am flattered that you think
we could organize a cyber attack

14
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:49,283
capable of crippling a city of
Moscow's power and magnitude.

15
00:00:49,317 --> 00:00:51,119
If we had managed
to pull that together,

16
00:00:51,152 --> 00:00:52,586
it would have to be in response

17
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:54,155
to something equally
unprecedented.

18
00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:56,190
Like someone hacking into

19
00:00:56,224 --> 00:00:57,634
the navigation and
communication system

20
00:00:57,658 --> 00:00:59,260
on Air Force One,

21
00:00:59,293 --> 00:01:01,395
putting the lives of
all on board at risk.

22
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:03,097
You are insane.

23
00:01:03,131 --> 00:01:05,366
Russia never
hacked Air Force One.

24
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,768
And the U.S. didn't
black out Moscow.

25
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:10,571
So we can part
on neutral ground.

26
00:01:10,604 --> 00:01:12,640
No, we will part on my promise

27
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:16,177
that Russia will not stand for
this affront to its sovereignty,

28
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:19,613
and retaliatory measures
will be taken immediately.

29
00:01:19,647 --> 00:01:21,549
(computer beeps)

30
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,251
Well, I like her.

31
00:01:23,284 --> 00:01:24,352
She's got moxie.

32
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:26,887
WARE: Mr. President,
I think we can file that one

33
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,322
under "message received."

34
00:01:28,356 --> 00:01:29,557
ELIZABETH: Am I the only one

35
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,625
concerned about her subtle

36
00:01:31,659 --> 00:01:32,660
vows of retaliation?

37
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:33,794
DALTON: Par for the course.

38
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:35,596
That's pretty much
the clarion call

39
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:36,764
of any aggrieved demagogue.

40
00:01:36,797 --> 00:01:39,267
JACKSON: Actually,
the smart thing

41
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,802
for her to do would be to
deny the U.S.'s involvement.

42
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:44,672
Spare herself the
embarrassment of taking the hit.

43
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:45,773
So we're betting on smart?

44
00:01:45,806 --> 00:01:48,842
The fact that she's even
running the show is theater.

45
00:01:48,876 --> 00:01:50,678
She's gonna
listen to the counsel

46
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:51,821
of her generals and advisors.

47
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:52,813
They understand the cost

48
00:01:52,846 --> 00:01:54,482
of a military response.

49
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:56,160
WARE: And we can track
any movement in that regard.

50
00:01:56,184 --> 00:01:58,152
But we're not too concerned.

51
00:01:58,186 --> 00:01:59,520
She's been put in her place.

52
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:02,356
And she knows we
won't tolerate any signs

53
00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:04,358
of aggression
toward us or Ukraine.

54
00:02:04,392 --> 00:02:05,693
All right. Well...

55
00:02:05,726 --> 00:02:09,863
I'll get to work on
State's non-denial denial.

56
00:02:09,897 --> 00:02:12,266
JACKSON: Make it
a full-throttle denial.

57
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:13,867
Lying to save the
world is allowed.

58
00:02:13,901 --> 00:02:15,369
It's in the Constitution.

59
00:02:15,403 --> 00:02:16,504
ELIZABETH: Okay.

60
00:02:16,537 --> 00:02:17,814
Where the cyber
attack is concerned,

61
00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:20,208
we're in the dark
right along with them.

62
00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:21,342
That's good.

63
00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:23,244
I'm not really
going to say that.

64
00:02:23,277 --> 00:02:25,213
I would.

65
00:02:25,246 --> 00:02:26,714
Thanks, everyone.

66
00:02:26,747 --> 00:02:28,616
ELIZABETH: Is it wrong
to eat cereal for dinner?

67
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,251
I don't care.

68
00:02:32,786 --> 00:02:34,822
So how was your day, Slugger?

69
00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:36,724
Or... Boomer.

70
00:02:36,757 --> 00:02:38,859
What is the universal
linebacker nickname?

71
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:41,229
Brainless. Be nice.

72
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:43,697
So this horse

73
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:45,633
walks into the
doctor's office. (sighs)

74
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:47,268
The doctor says...

75
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:48,745
why the long face?
Why the long face?

76
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:49,670
I don't know.

77
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,405
I just love that.

78
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:52,540
It gets me every time.

79
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:54,408
Thank you. Yeah.

80
00:02:54,442 --> 00:02:55,543
So?

81
00:02:55,576 --> 00:02:57,678
What's up?

82
00:02:57,711 --> 00:03:00,948
I, uh,
just got some bad news from the coach.

83
00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:02,683
Oh, no.

84
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:04,252
Is he cutting you? No.

85
00:03:04,285 --> 00:03:05,519
He's, uh, he's starting me.

86
00:03:05,553 --> 00:03:07,621
Well... Wow.

87
00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:08,956
Hey, that's great. I mean...

88
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:11,459
I'd think you'd be
excited about that.

89
00:03:11,492 --> 00:03:12,960
JASON: We're facing
the biggest team

90
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:14,762
in the league,
with the playoffs on the line,

91
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:15,863
and suddenly it's my turn?

92
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:17,631
Well, Jason, he must have seen

93
00:03:17,665 --> 00:03:19,633
a lot of progress in practice.

94
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:20,810
Otherwise,
he wouldn't put you in. Yeah.

95
00:03:20,834 --> 00:03:22,002
Nice try, Dad.

96
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:24,272
Derrick got benched
for a "D" in geometry,

97
00:03:24,305 --> 00:03:25,949
Eli broke his arm and
Gabe's moving to Florida.

98
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:27,975
So I'm sort of
forced into this one.

99
00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:30,778
Are you afraid you're
going to get hurt?

100
00:03:30,811 --> 00:03:32,313
No,
I'm worried about being humiliated

101
00:03:32,346 --> 00:03:33,514
and letting the whole team,

102
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:34,891
and in fact the whole school,
down.

103
00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:36,650
I mean,
I did this to make friends

104
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,652
and I'm about to
alienate everyone I know.

105
00:03:38,686 --> 00:03:40,254
Jace, it's gonna be okay.

106
00:03:40,288 --> 00:03:42,290
Or maybe you won't even play.

107
00:03:42,323 --> 00:03:44,458
Everyone's saying that
Russia's going to retaliate

108
00:03:44,492 --> 00:03:45,793
for the cyber attack.

109
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:47,003
Hard to have Friday
Night Lights with no lights.

110
00:03:47,027 --> 00:03:48,829
ELIZABETH: What cyber attack?

111
00:03:48,862 --> 00:03:50,030
Where did you get this?

112
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,765
Um... every major news outlet?

113
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:54,735
Yeah, well,
it's all speculation.

114
00:03:54,768 --> 00:03:56,470
There's no evidence
of an attack.

115
00:03:56,504 --> 00:03:58,682
Why don't you kids go eat in
front of the TV? Sound good?

116
00:03:58,706 --> 00:04:00,841
Okay,
now I know the world is ending.

117
00:04:04,778 --> 00:04:06,780
So... Was it us?

118
00:04:08,716 --> 00:04:11,285
Russia has an
antiquated infrastructure.

119
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:13,487
The blackout could be

120
00:04:13,521 --> 00:04:14,798
the Chernobyl of the power grid.

121
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:17,425
Okay,
I know that we can't divulge stuff,

122
00:04:17,458 --> 00:04:19,068
but I didn't know we'd moved
on to spinning each other.

123
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,761
I'm just giving you

124
00:04:20,794 --> 00:04:22,830
what the White House's
official position is.

125
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:24,498
Okay, let's try this:

126
00:04:24,532 --> 00:04:25,742
If it was us, was it in response

127
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:26,943
to what happened
on Air Force One?

128
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:29,470
Solar flares happened
on Air Force One.

129
00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:30,771
I was read in to that one.

130
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:31,939
I know about the malware.

131
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:36,009
Well... but not
who was behind it,

132
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:37,811
because we didn't know.

133
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:38,746
HENRY: And we do now?

134
00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:40,381
Are you okay?

135
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:42,983
'Cause I know that you've
been very stressed out.

136
00:04:43,016 --> 00:04:44,885
Don't gaslight me.

137
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:46,854
I... You're the one
who's been all worried

138
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:48,389
about us keeping secrets.

139
00:04:48,422 --> 00:04:49,790
That was just venting.

140
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:51,725
This is real world.

141
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:54,762
Henry, we almost went to...

142
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:58,799
to prison for sharing
classified information.

143
00:04:58,832 --> 00:05:00,434
So we cannot talk.

144
00:05:00,468 --> 00:05:02,736
I thought maybe being on
the verge of World War III

145
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:04,372
might change the rules.

146
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:05,673
Nope.

147
00:05:09,743 --> 00:05:12,613
Can we maybe
just... stop talking

148
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:15,115
about what we may or
may not be talking about?

149
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,017
Sure.

150
00:05:21,589 --> 00:05:22,690
Where are you going?

151
00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:23,857
Can't talk about it.

152
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:36,904
Do you know anything
about the situation in Russia?

153
00:05:36,937 --> 00:05:38,406
Nothing.

154
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:39,873
I could speculate,
but DIA hasn't

155
00:05:39,907 --> 00:05:41,809
read me into anything.

156
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,043
Any word from Dmitri? No.

157
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:45,846
I don't know how long
he stayed in Moscow

158
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:47,615
after he contacted us.

159
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:48,925
Did he feel like he'd
been compromised?

160
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:49,950
He didn't say anything,

161
00:05:49,983 --> 00:05:52,052
but it could be the
reason that he wanted out.

162
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:54,922
That would be unfortunate.

163
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:56,165
Has the president seen
the battle plan report

164
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,825
from Doroshevich?

165
00:05:57,858 --> 00:05:59,159
The president? No.

166
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:00,628
Uh, why would he?

167
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:01,962
He might be interested to know

168
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:03,697
about a planned
attack on Ukraine.

169
00:06:03,731 --> 00:06:05,909
You think he doesn't know
Russia has designs on Ukraine?

170
00:06:05,933 --> 00:06:09,136
He might also be interested
in what wasn't in the report.

171
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:10,704
What would that be?

172
00:06:10,738 --> 00:06:14,141
Any plan to attack the computer
system of Air Force One.

173
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:16,544
Okay,
I'm not connecting the dots here.

174
00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:19,547
If the blackout was
an attack by the U.S.,

175
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:20,848
they went under the assumption

176
00:06:20,881 --> 00:06:22,726
that Russia was behind
the hack of Air Force One.

177
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:23,784
Okay.

178
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:24,585
The playbook that Dmitri gave us

179
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:27,120
laid out Russia's
entire strategy

180
00:06:27,154 --> 00:06:28,922
for the invasion of Ukraine,

181
00:06:28,956 --> 00:06:30,891
including aggressive
diversionary tactics

182
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:31,859
to deter U.S. involvement.

183
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,194
Okay, what is your ETA on the point,
Henry?

184
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:36,764
Gamed out every crazy scenario,

185
00:06:36,797 --> 00:06:38,832
from taking over
Arctic drilling sites

186
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:40,768
to instigating
conflict with ISIS.

187
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:42,002
But there was nothing...

188
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:47,107
nothing about a
hack of Air Force One.

189
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,510
Just because they
didn't put it in the report

190
00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:50,944
doesn't mean they didn't do it.

191
00:06:50,978 --> 00:06:52,580
You're trying to
prove a negative.

192
00:06:52,613 --> 00:06:54,815
You don't want to get
into a dialectic with me.

193
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,149
Okay. You're right.

194
00:06:56,183 --> 00:06:57,861
I don't even want to
have this conversation.

195
00:06:57,885 --> 00:06:58,952
You're crossing lines.

196
00:06:58,986 --> 00:06:59,853
Just tell me you'll
make an effort

197
00:06:59,887 --> 00:07:01,922
to get this report
to the White House.

198
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:03,156
How?

199
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:04,892
Call the President.

200
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,960
Demand to see him.

201
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:08,762
Henry,
you might be coming a little unglued.

202
00:07:08,796 --> 00:07:10,931
I know you're
upset about Dmitri.

203
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,866
At least get it into the
hands of Ephraim Ware.

204
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,468
The DNI needs
to know about this.

205
00:07:14,502 --> 00:07:16,570
Stop. You're getting
above your pay grade.

206
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:17,571
And mine.

207
00:07:17,605 --> 00:07:18,682
You've done your duty,
Professor.

208
00:07:18,706 --> 00:07:19,873
Let us handle this.

209
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:21,575
(engine starts)

210
00:07:57,911 --> 00:07:59,980
KOHL: These three
pipelines went off-line

211
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:01,214
approximately two hours ago.

212
00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:03,917
We've received
reliable verification

from both U.S. and
European intelligence

214
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:07,955
that the pipelines
were shut down

215
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:09,757
by direct order of Maria Ostrov.

216
00:08:11,258 --> 00:08:12,760
Those particular pipelines

217
00:08:12,793 --> 00:08:15,262
provide 40% of Western
Europe's supply of gas.

218
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:17,264
Just as they're heading into

219
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:19,142
one of the fiercest winters
predicted in decades.

220
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:21,134
So much for blustering.

221
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:24,772
It's a clear message

222
00:08:24,805 --> 00:08:26,774
that she's not
playing by the rules.

223
00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:27,917
She's escalating the conflict.

224
00:08:27,941 --> 00:08:31,712
Turning America's NATO
allies into collateral damage.

225
00:08:31,745 --> 00:08:33,981
KOHL: Mr. President,
they want to break the alliance

226
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,983
so they can run the
table with Eastern Europe.

227
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:38,018
It's something
Pavel Ostrov coveted

228
00:08:38,051 --> 00:08:39,920
and now she's trying
to make it happen.

229
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:41,955
This has stopped
being a dialogue.

230
00:08:41,989 --> 00:08:43,791
It's a march to war.

231
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,294
Then we need to retaliate.

232
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:49,997
And we need to hit them hard.

233
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:57,170

Just enough to make a point.

And what point is that?

242
00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:18,291
That we're willing
to use military force.

243
00:09:18,325 --> 00:09:20,003
ELIZABETH: But I thought
the point of the power grid attack

244
00:09:20,027 --> 00:09:22,362
is that we weren't
willing to do that.

245
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:24,364
That was before
this latest action.

246
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:26,700
You had to know
they would respond.

247
00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:27,901

248
00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:29,112
it would be much more measured.

249
00:09:29,136 --> 00:09:30,838
This... this is extreme.

250
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:32,873
They escalated, so we have to.

251
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,611
Why can't we reach
out to our allies?

252
00:09:37,645 --> 00:09:40,213
Western Europe's holding
us fully accountable.

253
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,390
They're blaming
us for all of it.

00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:42,950
Well, of course they are.

255
00:09:42,983 --> 00:09:45,619
Because no one

We're still calling.

00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:48,689
Air Force One solar flares.

258
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:50,090
What are you proposing?

259
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:53,226
I want to go before the UN.

260
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:54,700
I want to give them
a lay down speech

261
00:09:54,728 --> 00:09:58,231
and spell it out for them,
step by step.

262
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:01,301
We give evidence of
military overreach by Russia

against the U.S. and Ukraine.

We divulge all of
their aggression.

265
00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:09,242
The attack on Air Force One,

266
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:12,379
the Poloniumed hacker,

267
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:14,982
the financial records
that point to Russian GRU.

268
00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:17,751
WARE: Mr. President,
that is a radical

269
00:10:17,785 --> 00:10:18,886
roll of the dice.

270
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:20,788
Putting all our
cards on the table

271
00:10:20,821 --> 00:10:22,155
leaves us nowhere else to turn

272
00:10:22,189 --> 00:10:23,691
if the allies don't go for it.

273
00:10:23,724 --> 00:10:25,693
JACKSON: Which,
given the current climate,

274
00:10:25,726 --> 00:10:27,003
I think it's a pretty
safe bet they won't.

276
00:10:29,897 --> 00:10:32,365
You mean, as opposed to

all those other
comfortable options

278
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:35,769
we'll have after we launch

against the world's second
biggest nuclear power?

281
00:10:41,041 --> 00:10:44,111
Elizabeth,
it's an enormous gamble.

282
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:45,813
For starters,
it would have to be

283
00:10:45,846 --> 00:10:46,980
the speech of your life,

284
00:10:47,014 --> 00:10:49,149
right up there with
Adlai Stevenson

285
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:50,293
in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

286
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,452
I think that's an apt analogy.

287
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:54,688
And I think I'm up to it.

288
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:03,096
I don't see what
we have to lose.

All due respect, everything.

00:11:06,834 --> 00:11:08,736
The upper hand,
the element of surprise...

292
00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:11,739
DALTON: General, we forfeited
all that with the cyber attack.

293
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:13,874
Now we're being pulled
into Russia's game.

294
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,476
Escalating the conflict
is our only choice,

295
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,912
unless we can get the
allies to circle the wagons.

296
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:21,348
It's...

297
00:11:21,381 --> 00:11:24,417
it's gonna take the
world's commitment to war

298
00:11:24,451 --> 00:11:26,787
in order to actually
stop the war.

We-we cannot give Russia
time to one-up our show of force

301
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:33,761
should decide to go there.

302
00:11:33,794 --> 00:11:34,795
Agreed.

303
00:11:36,063 --> 00:11:38,265
Let's get on the line
with President Bozek.

304
00:11:38,298 --> 00:11:40,033
We can't do this alone.

305
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:42,435
We need to get Ukraine on board.

306
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:45,806
I appreciate you taking me into
your confidence, Mr. President.

307
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:47,741
Tell me, what is your plan.

308
00:11:47,775 --> 00:11:49,777
We intend to draw
a line in the sand.

309
00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:52,512
And that line is the
Ukrainian border.

310
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,482
In addition to the, uh,
lethal aide we've already provided,

311
00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:58,752
we plan to send American
advisors to the east

312
00:11:58,786 --> 00:12:02,289
and enforce a no-fly zone
over Ukrainian airspace.

313
00:12:02,322 --> 00:12:03,390
You don't know how long

314
00:12:03,423 --> 00:12:06,193
I've waited to hear these
words of support from you.

315
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:08,862
Tell me,
what can I do in return?

316
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:12,265
I'm-I'm glad you asked, Mikhail.

317
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:14,868
All of this will depend on
the support of our allies,

318
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:18,538
which I have to rally
in the next 24 hours.

319
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:21,775
It won't be easy,
so the more evidence that we have

320
00:12:21,809 --> 00:12:24,344
to convince them that Ostrov
was behind the cyber attack

321
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,880
on your plane and ours,
the better.

322
00:12:26,914 --> 00:12:29,549
I'll need any information
that you have.

323
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:32,085
That is easily provided,
Madam Secretary.

324
00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:34,287
And I will need you at my side

325
00:12:34,321 --> 00:12:36,523
when I make the
address at the U.N.

326
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:39,092
I will make preparations to
fly to New York right away.

Thank you.

328
00:12:43,931 --> 00:12:46,499
Better get your staff to work

330
00:12:54,207 --> 00:12:55,976
ELIZABETH: The
objective is simple.

331
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:58,145
Convince the entire world...

332
00:12:58,178 --> 00:13:00,380
Particularly our allies...

333
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:03,150
That we are justified
and willing to go to war

334
00:13:03,183 --> 00:13:04,918
to contain Russian aggression.

335
00:13:04,952 --> 00:13:08,421
So,
your basic St. Crispin's Day speech.

336
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:10,123
Yes.

337
00:13:10,157 --> 00:13:11,859
Hopefully without
having to go into battle.

338
00:13:11,892 --> 00:13:14,161
Once we have the authority,

339
00:13:14,194 --> 00:13:16,096
the idea is that we
won't have to enforce it.

340
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:17,297
That's a big risk.

341
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,299
We're aware.

342
00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:21,368
MATT: How much
of the classified stuff

343
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:22,836
do you want me to use?

344
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:24,537
Outside of sources and methods,

345
00:13:24,571 --> 00:13:27,875
the president has
authorized all of it.

346
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:29,009
All of it all if it?

347
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:31,144
We're giving up
George Lasko as the guy

348
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:32,379
who hacked Air Force One?

349
00:13:32,412 --> 00:13:33,613
His connection to Russia?

350
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:35,548
The attack on
President Bozek's plane?

351
00:13:35,582 --> 00:13:37,084
The Polonium assassination...?

352
00:13:37,117 --> 00:13:39,552
That pretty much covers
what I mean by "all of it."

353
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:41,554
If we are showing
our entire hand,

354
00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:43,456
it means the end of
any kind of negotiation.

355
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,893
That's why this
speech has to work.

356
00:13:47,394 --> 00:13:49,396
Hi, welcome to Smokin' Al's.

357
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,904
I only have ten minutes.

358
00:13:56,937 --> 00:13:58,939
That's all I need.

359
00:13:58,972 --> 00:14:01,942
I have to admit I never expected
you to be in a place like this.

360
00:14:01,975 --> 00:14:04,111
Well, that's why we're here.

361
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,246
Does your wife know
that you eat like that?

362
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:07,580
Of course not.

363
00:14:07,614 --> 00:14:10,918
What can I do for you, Henry?

364
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:12,585
I need to bring you
some intelligence

365
00:14:12,619 --> 00:14:14,287
that I've uncovered.

366
00:14:14,321 --> 00:14:16,623
I've taken it as far as I can with DIA,
but it stalled.

367
00:14:16,656 --> 00:14:19,592
I assume you talked to
Jane Fellows about this?

368
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:21,594
She essentially
terminated my assignment,

369
00:14:21,628 --> 00:14:23,897
but you're my
original recruiter.

370
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:25,232
That's where it ends.

371
00:14:25,265 --> 00:14:28,468
Russell,
my asset managed to lift.

372
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:31,604
Russia's entire playbook
for the invasion of Ukraine.

373
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:35,575
They spell out every
scenario imaginable,

374
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:38,311
including a number of ways
to manage the U.S. reaction.

375
00:14:38,345 --> 00:14:41,381
Yet nowhere is this
exhaustive document

376
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:44,451
is there any mention of
hacking Air Force One.

377
00:14:46,486 --> 00:14:49,222
Why are you telling me this now
when we are right in the middle

378
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,658
of a military campaign
against Maria Ostrov?

379
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:54,327
Before the
Challenger exploded...

380
00:14:54,361 --> 00:14:56,072
The space shuttle?
What kind...? What is...?

381
00:14:56,096 --> 00:14:57,497
Low-level engineers

382
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:58,674
discovered serious design
flaws with the shuttle;

383
00:14:58,698 --> 00:15:01,634
particularly related
to the O-rings,

384
00:15:01,668 --> 00:15:03,636
which they knew
could not withstand

385
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:05,638
extreme changes in temperature.

386
00:15:05,672 --> 00:15:07,350
They kept pushing
the information upstairs,

387
00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:08,508
but it stalled.

388
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:10,543
Or 9/11... Here we go.

389
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,179
The CIA and FBI

390
00:15:12,212 --> 00:15:13,422
may have had
enough foreknowledge

391
00:15:13,446 --> 00:15:15,415
of al-Qaeda's plan
to stop the attack,

392
00:15:15,448 --> 00:15:19,152
but because of
bureaucratic intransigence,

393
00:15:19,186 --> 00:15:20,687
they never even
spoke to one another.

394
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,455
So what, so in this parable,
I'm the lackey,

395
00:15:22,489 --> 00:15:24,691
who waves you off and
says it's above my pay grade?

396
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,994
No, that was Jane Fellows.
You're the guy that never

397
00:15:27,027 --> 00:15:28,337
got the information
in the first place.

398
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:30,130
You have the power to stop this.

399
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:31,364
Stop what?

400
00:15:31,398 --> 00:15:32,699
We've already engaged.

401
00:15:34,634 --> 00:15:37,537
You mean the cyber
attack on the power grid?

402
00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:39,048
The entire intelligence
community believes

403
00:15:39,072 --> 00:15:40,607
Russia was behind Air Force One.

404
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,717
So even if they didn't do it,

405
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:43,110
they did it, understand...?

406
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:45,112
There you go.

407
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:46,980
And you're willing to
go to war over that?

408
00:15:47,014 --> 00:15:49,149
We are trying our
damnedest to stop a war

409
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:52,752
by creating a united
front... Do you get that?!

410
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,721
If you tell your wife

411
00:15:54,754 --> 00:15:57,557
any of this "Russia
didn't do it" nonsense,

412
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:00,027
based on classified
intel from DIA,

413
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:01,561
you'll be thrown in prison

414
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:03,530
for the rest of
your mortal days.

415
00:16:03,563 --> 00:16:05,398
Both of you, understood?

416
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,570
Just keep your head
down and your mouth shut.

417
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:16,976
For God's sake,
just do what we tell you to do.

418
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:28,721
ELIZABETH: Well, whoever she is,

419
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:31,024
I hope she fed you.

420
00:16:31,058 --> 00:16:33,260
We finished off the
Kung Pao chicken.

421
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:36,063
She was an endless seminar
on the Sino-Soviet split

422
00:16:36,096 --> 00:16:38,598
and its effect on the
end of the Cold War,

423
00:16:38,631 --> 00:16:41,434
which is ironic given
the day's headlines.

424
00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:43,436
Might be a spring
roll or two left.

425
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,472
You could have that.

426
00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:49,042
We have to talk.

427
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:50,577
No, we really don't.

428
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,688
I understand you're scheduled
to speak at the U.N. tomorrow.

429
00:16:52,712 --> 00:16:54,581
That's right.

430
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:56,392
What if I knew something
that would change Stop!

431
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:58,085
The way that you approach this?

432
00:16:58,118 --> 00:16:59,486
Henry,
I-I don't make the decisions

433
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,054
on how to approach this.

434
00:17:01,088 --> 00:17:02,565
You're gonna reveal
Russia's involvement

435
00:17:02,589 --> 00:17:04,291
in the Air Force
One hack in hopes

436
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:05,768
of getting the allies
to fall into place.

437
00:17:05,792 --> 00:17:07,727
And if you do your job well,

438
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,762
which you have a
track record of doing,

439
00:17:09,796 --> 00:17:11,798
then the world will
be poised to go to war

440
00:17:11,831 --> 00:17:14,801
with a country that is
just unstable enough

441
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:18,071
to take the bait.

442
00:17:18,105 --> 00:17:19,806
If you're wrong,

443
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,342
do you really want to
be on the side of that?

444
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,077
Well,
obviously I wouldn't make this speech

445
00:17:24,111 --> 00:17:25,378
if I thought I were wrong.

446
00:17:25,412 --> 00:17:26,722
At what point
would you be willing

447
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:30,317
to violate this cone
of silence between us?

448
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:32,819
What would it take?

449
00:17:32,852 --> 00:17:34,430
Would millions of lives
have to be at stake?

450
00:17:34,454 --> 00:17:35,564
Because that's where we are.

451
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:36,789
You're scaring me, Henry.

452
00:17:36,823 --> 00:17:38,825
Good, because this is scary.

453
00:17:41,428 --> 00:17:43,396
I'm willing to roll the
dice on going to prison.

454
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:45,565
But what I'm not willing to do

455
00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:48,668
is live with what might
happen if we don't talk.

456
00:17:51,438 --> 00:17:55,342
We know things that
can help each other.

457
00:17:55,375 --> 00:17:57,144
That's not the point.

458
00:17:57,177 --> 00:17:59,146
Actually, that is the point...

459
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,681
I don't think the Russians
hacked Air Force One.

460
00:18:03,850 --> 00:18:07,320
Look,
we have incontrovertible proof.

461
00:18:07,354 --> 00:18:08,321
Do you?

462
00:18:08,355 --> 00:18:10,190
On multiple fronts.

463
00:18:10,223 --> 00:18:11,624
Then explain this to me.

464
00:18:11,658 --> 00:18:13,393
If Russia hacked Air Force One,

465
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:15,304
then they have the most
advanced cyber capabilities

466
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:17,130
of any country on the planet.

467
00:18:17,164 --> 00:18:19,599
And what is their response

468
00:18:19,632 --> 00:18:22,435
to a counter-cyber attack
by the United States?

469
00:18:22,469 --> 00:18:25,805
They shut off the gas.

470
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:33,646
You have more to go
on than speculation?

471
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,649
I mean,
if we're gonna go all the way with this...

472
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:41,654
I have an asset,

473
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:44,691
who works for a top
advisor to Ostrov.

474
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,497
If Russia didn't do this,

475
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,832
if they're not behind it,
then who?

476
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:53,900
I don't know.

477
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,335
Does it really matter?

478
00:18:55,368 --> 00:18:57,870
I have to present
some plausible theory

479
00:18:57,904 --> 00:18:59,439
to get them off of this path...

480
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:01,608
I haven't gotten that far.

481
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:05,245
But, babe,
I know this is a leap.

482
00:19:05,278 --> 00:19:09,416
And I know there's a
chance that I'm wrong.

483
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:14,221
But what if I'm not?

484
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:33,573
ELIZABETH: I need
you guys to streamline

485
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:35,575
whatever we have
that directly links.

486
00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:36,609
Lasko with the Russians.

487
00:19:36,643 --> 00:19:37,610
Primarily it's the money.

488
00:19:37,644 --> 00:19:40,847
An e-mail on his computer
from a Russian bank...

489
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,284
One associated with GRU...
Informing him of a wire transfer

490
00:19:44,317 --> 00:19:45,885
to his Cayman
Islands bank account.

491
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:49,589
Okay, it says here the NSA
was monitoring this bank

492
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:50,890
for criminal activity.

493
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:53,760
So where's the record
of a transfer from Russia?

494
00:19:53,793 --> 00:19:54,827
Uh...

495
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:57,497
NSA has no corresponding
record of a wire transfer.

496
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:58,965
But they're not perfect.

497
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:02,735
It's, you know,
often these shady banks have multiple...

498
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:04,837
If NSA has no record
of a wire transfer,

499
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:07,974
then how do we know
that the e-mail is legitimate?

500
00:20:08,007 --> 00:20:09,909
We traced its IP address
back to Moscow servers.

501
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,511
IP addresses can be faked

502
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:12,984
to look like they
come from anywhere.

503
00:20:13,012 --> 00:20:15,682
Sure,
but it's a convergence of evidence.

504
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:19,286
Ma'am, the odds of all this
being counterfeit are very slim.

505
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,588
It's like he says... "a
convergence of evidence."

506
00:20:21,621 --> 00:20:23,022
I heard him.

507
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:26,293
And I'm gonna ask you
both to stop saying that.

508
00:20:26,326 --> 00:20:28,528
Because "convergence
of evidence"

509
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:30,297
is beginning to sound eerily

510
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:33,600
like the new "weapons
of mass destruction."

511
00:20:35,302 --> 00:20:37,704
So, Oliver,
I'm gonna ask you again.

512
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:39,272
On the eve of my telling

513
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:41,941
the entire world that

514
00:20:41,974 --> 00:20:45,845
Russia is behind the greatest
cyber attack in human history,

515
00:20:45,878 --> 00:20:49,382
prompting actions
that could lead us all

516
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:54,020
into the greatest world
conflict in human history...

517
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:57,023
There's a chance that all
the evidence we have here

518
00:20:57,056 --> 00:21:00,059
is fake?

519
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,061
Yes, ma'am.

520
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:04,297
There is a chance.

521
00:21:22,081 --> 00:21:23,516
It's a little long.

522
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:25,318
I could definitely
take some trims.

523
00:21:25,352 --> 00:21:28,621
I might've used, uh,
JFK too many times. (phone chimes)

524
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:31,023
But I think it will
get the point across.

525
00:21:31,057 --> 00:21:32,825
Madam Secretary,
Russell Jackson's office

526
00:21:32,859 --> 00:21:35,362
is demanding to see
a draft of the speech.

527
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:37,830
He wants to vet it
in time for changes.

528
00:21:37,864 --> 00:21:39,332
I'm sure he does.

529
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:41,901
And, uh,
you are scheduled to leave

530
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:43,536
from the White House
lawn in two hours.

531
00:21:43,570 --> 00:21:47,374
Four major networks cleared
time for a breaking news segment.

532
00:21:50,943 --> 00:21:53,713
I'm gonna, uh,

533
00:21:53,746 --> 00:21:56,048
take this little window of time.

534
00:21:56,082 --> 00:21:58,351
I'm just gonna say this.

535
00:21:58,385 --> 00:22:01,654
What if we're wrong?

536
00:22:02,955 --> 00:22:05,525
About what?

537
00:22:05,558 --> 00:22:07,827
Oh, I don't know.

538
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,596
Everything. All of it.

539
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:13,400
What if Russia wasn't behind
the Air Force One hack?

540
00:22:15,402 --> 00:22:17,470
Isn't it a little late
in the game for that?

541
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:20,473
Oh, no. I-I think it's exactly
the right point in the game.

542
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,414
It's, uh, fair to say

543
00:22:27,447 --> 00:22:31,784
that Russia is not
an utter certainty,

544
00:22:31,818 --> 00:22:33,820
but nothing points
to another actor.

545
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:35,121
And given that, I think...

546
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:37,890
Clearly,
the-the White House thinks...

547
00:22:37,924 --> 00:22:40,427
That we should proceed
with what we know.

548
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:43,396
How many messes

549
00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:45,532
have we gotten ourselves into

550
00:22:45,565 --> 00:22:49,168
with what we were
almost sure we knew?

551
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:52,805
I'm just asking for a quick,
exhaustive review.

552
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:54,707
Let's just take a few minutes

553
00:22:54,741 --> 00:22:57,444
and consider the
other possibilities.

554
00:22:57,477 --> 00:23:00,780
Okay, so let's... backtrack.

555
00:23:00,813 --> 00:23:03,149
We're reasonably
sure that George Lasko

556
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:05,084
was behind the hack
of Air Force One.

557
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:06,819
He had previous connections

558
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:09,622
to Russia and China,
North Korea and Iran.

559
00:23:09,656 --> 00:23:10,757
ELIZABETH: And now he's dead

560
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:12,525
by way of polonium poisoning.

561
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:14,727
I think we can rule out Iran.

562
00:23:14,761 --> 00:23:17,196
Our nuclear agreement
closely monitors

563
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:18,665
their radioactive material.

564
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:19,999
We can rule out North Korea.

565
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:21,668
Their nuclear capabilities

566
00:23:21,701 --> 00:23:23,770
are not sophisticated enough
to synthesize polonium.

567
00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:25,104
MATT: That leaves China,

568
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:26,473
which makes some sense.

569
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:28,174
How is that?

570
00:23:28,207 --> 00:23:29,576
With Russia and the U.S.

571
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:31,511
locked in a slowly
escalating conflict...

572
00:23:31,544 --> 00:23:32,812
DAISY: Or quickly escalating.

573
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:35,014
China is free to shore up

574
00:23:35,047 --> 00:23:36,516
control over Southeast Asia.

575
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:38,485
It's a long shot,

576
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:40,520
but it might be
worth looking into.

577
00:23:40,553 --> 00:23:42,054
Even though it
would ruin my speech.

578
00:23:42,088 --> 00:23:43,790
You're saying
China framed Russia

579
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:44,957
for the Air Force One hack?

580
00:23:44,991 --> 00:23:45,958
I'm not saying.

581
00:23:45,992 --> 00:23:47,494
I'm just asking.

582
00:23:47,527 --> 00:23:49,228
(phone chimes) NADINE:
Mr. Jackson's office

583
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:50,763
is again asking for your speech.

584
00:23:50,797 --> 00:23:51,931
This time in all caps.

585
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:53,633
He is officially shouting.

586
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:56,135
Right.

587
00:23:56,168 --> 00:23:58,805
Tell him we're putting the
finishing touches on the speech.

588
00:23:58,838 --> 00:24:00,072
NADINE: Yes, ma'am.

589
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:01,674
If you'll excuse me,

590
00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:04,877
I obfuscate more
effectively by phone.

591
00:24:04,911 --> 00:24:06,513
You will be the first to know.

592
00:24:06,546 --> 00:24:08,047
Okay.

593
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,216
Good-bye.

594
00:24:10,249 --> 00:24:11,584
I hate to bother you.

595
00:24:11,618 --> 00:24:15,622
Yes, I read your first draft.

596
00:24:15,655 --> 00:24:17,824
You're really gonna make me ask?

597
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,994
I think it's the finest
piece of writing

598
00:24:22,028 --> 00:24:23,696
I've ever seen from you. Really?

599
00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:26,866
No, I'm shining you on
because I hate to disappoint.

600
00:24:29,836 --> 00:24:31,504
It is good, isn't it?

601
00:24:31,538 --> 00:24:33,072
It's brilliant.

602
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:39,045
She's never gonna use it,
is she? Matt...

603
00:24:39,078 --> 00:24:41,748
this speech was intended

604
00:24:41,781 --> 00:24:45,518
to rally the
nations of the world

605
00:24:45,552 --> 00:24:48,020
into a potential
war with Russia.

606
00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:50,523
If the secretary
never reads it out loud,

607
00:24:50,557 --> 00:24:52,692
that would mean the best
of all possible outcomes

608
00:24:52,725 --> 00:24:54,226
had been achieved.

609
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:55,595
Don't you agree?

610
00:24:55,628 --> 00:24:56,896
Of course.

611
00:24:59,632 --> 00:25:01,534
Minister Chen,

612
00:25:01,568 --> 00:25:04,604
thank you for coming
in on such short notice.

613
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,739
I was surprised by the
urgent nature of the request.

614
00:25:06,773 --> 00:25:08,074
I'm aware that you are scheduled

615
00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:10,009
to appear before
the UN in a few hours.

616
00:25:10,042 --> 00:25:11,944
Please, have a seat.

617
00:25:11,978 --> 00:25:14,013
Word is that you
intend to address

618
00:25:14,046 --> 00:25:15,615
the recent events in Russia.

619
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:16,482
Minister Chen,

620
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:18,685
you-you recall a
couple of months ago

621
00:25:18,718 --> 00:25:20,620
when the communications system

622
00:25:20,653 --> 00:25:21,921
on Air Force One was shut down?

623
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:23,990
The result of solar flares,
was it not?

624
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:27,293
That was our best working
theory at the time, yes.

625
00:25:28,661 --> 00:25:30,096
But we have reason to believe

626
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:32,965
there may be other
factors involved.

627
00:25:32,999 --> 00:25:35,802
You mean someone
hacked into the system?

628
00:25:35,835 --> 00:25:38,204
Possibly.

629
00:25:38,237 --> 00:25:39,872
I wanted to ask you

630
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:42,341
about information
that you might have

631
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:46,112
about other actors
who might have

632
00:25:46,145 --> 00:25:48,881
had reason to engage
in such aggression.

633
00:25:50,783 --> 00:25:52,284
One of the things
I've always valued

634
00:25:52,318 --> 00:25:53,686
about you, Madam Secretary,

635
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,655
is that you tend
to speak plainly.

636
00:25:55,688 --> 00:25:56,889
I urge you to do so now.

637
00:25:56,923 --> 00:25:59,191
Did you guys do it?

638
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:03,129
Did China hire George Lasko,
aka Dash,

639
00:26:03,162 --> 00:26:04,597
to hack Air Force One?

640
00:26:04,631 --> 00:26:05,898
You can't be serious.

641
00:26:05,932 --> 00:26:07,133
I assure you,

642
00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:09,301
I have never been more serious.

643
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:12,605
And why would we do that?

644
00:26:12,639 --> 00:26:15,241
Engaging the U.S. and-and Russia

645
00:26:15,274 --> 00:26:18,077
in a costly military conflict

646
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:20,212
would free China up to pursue

647
00:26:20,246 --> 00:26:22,615
a number of foreign interests.

648
00:26:22,649 --> 00:26:24,817
In the year 2000,

649
00:26:24,851 --> 00:26:28,154
China owned only six percent
of the United States' foreign debt.

650
00:26:28,187 --> 00:26:31,357
Now we own over 21%.

651
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:34,326
We have over $1
trillion in U.S. securities

652
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,730
and hundreds of billions
in Russian securities.

653
00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:39,799
If we pitted the two of
you against each other

654
00:26:39,832 --> 00:26:41,834
in a nuclear war,

655
00:26:41,868 --> 00:26:44,336
what good would that do
our investment portfolio?

656
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:47,373
So you had nothing to
do with Air Force One?

657
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:52,211
China is playing a long game,
Madam Secretary.

658
00:26:53,379 --> 00:26:54,346
When we come for you,

659
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:58,084
it won't be with missiles
and cyber attacks.

660
00:26:58,117 --> 00:27:00,286
We'll repossess you.

661
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:02,655
(door opens)

662
00:27:02,689 --> 00:27:04,366
I apologize,
Madam Secretary. Thank you, Blake.

663
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:06,325
JACKSON: Grilling Oliver Shaw

664
00:27:06,358 --> 00:27:07,402
about the Air Force One hack

665
00:27:07,426 --> 00:27:08,771
in front of the Director
of National Intelligence?

666
00:27:08,795 --> 00:27:11,097
I wouldn't call it a grilling.

667
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,808
And now I'm hearing about
some emergency meeting

668
00:27:12,832 --> 00:27:15,267
with Minister Chen
about God knows what.

669
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:17,436
Maybe we got
different playbooks,

670
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:19,105
but when appealing to the world

671
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:20,406
to go to war with Russia,

672
00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:23,009
I think it's important
to get the facts straight.

673
00:27:23,042 --> 00:27:25,912
Your facts are about as
straight as they're gonna get.

674
00:27:25,945 --> 00:27:27,756
I hope to hell you're not
talking to Henry about this.

675
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:29,749
What does Henry have
to do with anything?

676
00:27:29,782 --> 00:27:33,085
He came to me,
babbling about some half-cocked theory.

677
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,055
Well,
that's between you and Henry.

678
00:27:36,088 --> 00:27:38,424
I have serious questions.

679
00:27:38,457 --> 00:27:40,760
And I am telling
you that you don't.

680
00:27:40,793 --> 00:27:42,929
Marine One is out there
on the lawn right now,

681
00:27:42,962 --> 00:27:44,764
Air Force One is
ready at Andrews,

682
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:46,465
ready to take you to the UN

683
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,301
to make a speech you insisted
on giving not 24 hours ago.

684
00:27:49,335 --> 00:27:53,773
If I make this speech
and we're wrong,

685
00:27:53,806 --> 00:27:57,944
it could destroy the U.S.'s
credibility for decades.

686
00:27:57,977 --> 00:28:01,147
If I miss the speech, Russell,

687
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:03,382
it's barely a
footnote in history.

688
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:10,122
I am telling you to
get on Marine One.

689
00:28:10,156 --> 00:28:12,124
The president's waiting.

690
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:28,775
Aren't you supposed to
be at the UN right now?

691
00:28:30,109 --> 00:28:32,845
Henry,
you'd better be right about this.

692
00:28:45,124 --> 00:28:46,525
♪

693
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,761
(chickens clucking)

694
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,548
DAISY: Jeffrey, when I say

695
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:11,417
the secretary won't be
addressing this matter

696
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:14,153
in the press today,
that is exactly what I mean by that.

697
00:29:14,186 --> 00:29:15,988
Obviously, she had a reason

698
00:29:16,022 --> 00:29:18,324
for canceling her
appearance at the UN.

699
00:29:18,357 --> 00:29:20,793
Look, I'm not saying it's
related to national security.

700
00:29:20,827 --> 00:29:22,061
You are. And if you print it,

701
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:24,096
you'd better have your
attorney on speed dial.

702
00:29:25,564 --> 00:29:26,565
Wow.

703
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:27,433
You're getting good at that.

704
00:29:27,466 --> 00:29:29,268
I'm getting a lot
of practice today.

705
00:29:29,301 --> 00:29:31,203
Look,
if we just release a statement,

706
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:32,805
the press will calm down.

707
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:34,073
Anything we feed them

708
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:36,008
is going to make them hungrier.

709
00:29:36,042 --> 00:29:39,145
Let's wait until we
have something to say.

710
00:29:39,178 --> 00:29:41,447
Like, for example,
I've been fired.

711
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,816
NADINE: Mr. Jackson's
office has been

712
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:45,351
eerily quiet.

713
00:29:45,384 --> 00:29:47,353
Yes, and it's speaking volumes.

714
00:29:47,386 --> 00:29:48,821
What's it saying, exactly?

715
00:29:49,922 --> 00:29:51,590
ELIZABETH: The White House

716
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:53,459
doesn't want to look unstable

717
00:29:53,492 --> 00:29:55,127
in the middle of a crisis.

718
00:29:55,161 --> 00:29:57,229
They'll deal with me later.

719
00:29:57,263 --> 00:29:59,866
Announcing our
renewed partnership

720
00:29:59,899 --> 00:30:01,467
with the people of Ukraine.

721
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:05,905
Today,
we are drawing a line in the sand.

722
00:30:05,938 --> 00:30:07,874
Because when it comes
to the cause of freedom,

723
00:30:07,907 --> 00:30:09,608
we are all Ukrainians.

724
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:12,244
My speech was so much better.

725
00:30:12,278 --> 00:30:13,846
(TV audio shuts off)

726
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,950
Well,
in order to facilitate avoiding the press,

727
00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:21,053
I'm officially making
myself unavailable.

728
00:30:21,087 --> 00:30:23,289
I have a football
game to get to.

729
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:24,490
And when I get back,

730
00:30:24,523 --> 00:30:26,192
let's figure out
what I'm going to say

731
00:30:26,225 --> 00:30:28,861
about not having
anything to say to the UN.

732
00:30:30,963 --> 00:30:31,964
(sighs)

733
00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:34,934
What?

734
00:30:37,203 --> 00:30:39,906
I don't know.

735
00:30:39,939 --> 00:30:42,074
It's kind of bizarre.

736
00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:44,110
Then it ought to
feel right at home.

737
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:47,346
What?

738
00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:52,919
When Bozek came
to D.C. a month ago,

739
00:30:52,952 --> 00:30:55,354
he was on his knees

740
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:57,156
begging for NATO membership.

741
00:30:57,189 --> 00:30:59,025
Now look at him: at White House,

742
00:30:59,058 --> 00:31:01,593
with the President
of the United States

743
00:31:01,627 --> 00:31:04,263
doing everything but
making a blood pact?

744
00:31:06,632 --> 00:31:08,634
He's getting more
than he wanted.

745
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:12,538
He is, isn't he?

746
00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:15,975
I'm saying it's weird.

747
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:19,611
What are you saying?

748
00:31:19,645 --> 00:31:23,015
The man had to jump
out of his own plane.

749
00:31:23,049 --> 00:31:24,683
That's insane, right?

750
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:26,652
Right.

751
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,921
Pull the staff together.

752
00:31:28,955 --> 00:31:30,923
Find out everything you can

753
00:31:30,957 --> 00:31:33,325
about the incident
on Bozek's plane.

754
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,995
Quietly.

755
00:31:36,028 --> 00:31:37,329
And if word gets out,

756
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:38,998
I'll swear you all went rogue.

757
00:31:39,031 --> 00:31:41,000
Yes, ma'am.

758
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:42,268
(coach shouting)

759
00:31:42,301 --> 00:31:44,236
(grunting)

760
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,039
Come on, Panthers! Let's go!

761
00:31:47,073 --> 00:31:48,674
Hold 'em! You got this!

762
00:31:48,707 --> 00:31:50,676
ANNOUNCER:
Tackled by number 46...

763
00:31:50,709 --> 00:31:52,378
I don't know what I
was worried about.

764
00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:53,545
I mean, he's doing great.

765
00:31:53,579 --> 00:31:55,347
HENRY: He's missed every tackle.

766
00:31:55,381 --> 00:31:57,683
That's what I'm talking about.

767
00:31:57,716 --> 00:31:58,793
He's doing the bare minimum.

768
00:31:58,817 --> 00:32:01,387
Babe, I think he's playing
at the top of his game.

769
00:32:03,555 --> 00:32:04,991
Well, even better.

770
00:32:05,024 --> 00:32:06,993
Those big guys are
just brushing by him.

771
00:32:07,026 --> 00:32:08,927
Works for me. (laughs)

772
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:13,632
So is it a totally crazy idea

773
00:32:13,665 --> 00:32:17,303
that the Ukrainians
hacked into Air Force One,

774
00:32:17,336 --> 00:32:20,006
pinned it on the Russians,
and then orchestrated

775
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:21,974
their own plane crash
to cover their tracks?

776
00:32:22,008 --> 00:32:23,509
Why?

777
00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:26,245
Because I need to
know just how crazy it is

778
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,746
before I go down this road.

779
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:29,815
No, I mean,
why would they do that?

780
00:32:29,848 --> 00:32:32,451
How do you get the
President of the United States

781
00:32:32,484 --> 00:32:34,753
to commit to taking on Russia?

782
00:32:34,786 --> 00:32:38,024
Make him think that he
was attacked by them.

783
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:40,726
Then he'll never allow

784
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:42,661
for any kind of aggression
against Ukraine.

785
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:43,996
That's a huge swing.

786
00:32:44,030 --> 00:32:46,465
Desperate times,
desperate measures.

787
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:47,699
(spectators applauding)

788
00:32:47,733 --> 00:32:49,035
ANNOUNCER: 45. Third down.

789
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:51,603
So... is it nuts?

790
00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:52,571
Is it possible?

791
00:32:52,604 --> 00:32:55,741
How long did it take
the passengers to jump

792
00:32:55,774 --> 00:32:57,543
after the plane got in trouble?

793
00:32:57,576 --> 00:33:01,180
According to the black box,
uh, 48 seconds.

794
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:02,514
Were there any fatalities?

795
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:06,085
And how banged up were they?

796
00:33:06,118 --> 00:33:09,088
The report gave no indication

797
00:33:09,121 --> 00:33:10,722
that any of the
passengers were injured.

798
00:33:10,756 --> 00:33:12,724
Well, that's interesting.

799
00:33:12,758 --> 00:33:15,227
When I was doing
parachute training,

800
00:33:15,261 --> 00:33:17,729
everybody always had something
on their first couple of jumps.

801
00:33:17,763 --> 00:33:18,530
Cuts, bruises,

802
00:33:18,564 --> 00:33:20,266
sprains,
even a couple of fractures.

803
00:33:20,299 --> 00:33:21,667
And this was a bunch of Marines

804
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:22,801
in top physical condition

805
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:24,270
jumping out of a stable plane.

806
00:33:24,303 --> 00:33:26,223
Not a bunch of diplomats
bailing from a nosedive.

807
00:33:30,142 --> 00:33:32,211
(grunting)

808
00:33:32,244 --> 00:33:33,812
(whistle blows,
spectators cheer)

809
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:35,547
Nice hit, Jace!

810
00:33:39,651 --> 00:33:41,620
ANNOUNCER: Great play, Panthers!

811
00:33:41,653 --> 00:33:44,290
They stopped a
potential touchdown drive.

812
00:33:49,328 --> 00:33:50,762
Hi. What do you want?

813
00:33:50,796 --> 00:33:52,431
I need your help.

814
00:33:52,464 --> 00:33:54,600
I'll ask you again.

815
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:56,102
What do you want?

816
00:33:56,135 --> 00:33:58,370
You went to Ukraine

817
00:33:58,404 --> 00:34:00,106
to meet with Bozek and his staff

818
00:34:00,139 --> 00:34:02,674
directly after the incident
with their plane, right?

819
00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:04,510
The day after. Yes.

820
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:07,079
What kind of physical
shape were they in?

821
00:34:07,113 --> 00:34:09,181
Fine.

822
00:34:10,516 --> 00:34:12,851
Cuts, sprains, bruises?

823
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:14,086
Any kind of injuries?

824
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,821
Bozek had a small laceration

825
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:16,755
on the side of his face.

826
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:18,657
Otherwise,
not a mark on them that I saw

827
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:19,858
or that anyone mentioned.

828
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,760
Huh.

829
00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:23,095
You're not doubting

830
00:34:23,129 --> 00:34:24,130
that the crash happened?

831
00:34:24,163 --> 00:34:26,132
There's documentation.

832
00:34:26,165 --> 00:34:27,333
They found the wreckage.

833
00:34:27,366 --> 00:34:29,235
I'm not doubting
that. Then what?

834
00:34:29,268 --> 00:34:31,370
You didn't come
all the way over here

835
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:33,272
to ask me how they looked.

836
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:35,407
Actually, I did.

837
00:34:35,441 --> 00:34:37,843
Thanks, Craig.

838
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:43,149
I know you have a
wrathful grudge against me

839
00:34:43,182 --> 00:34:44,850
that you might well
take to your grave

840
00:34:44,883 --> 00:34:46,885
and we are never
going to see eye to eye

841
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:48,520
about what transpired,

842
00:34:48,554 --> 00:34:51,223
but I do know one
thing about you.

843
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:52,858
First and foremost,
you're a patriot.

844
00:34:52,891 --> 00:34:55,227
I really do wish you well.

845
00:35:05,671 --> 00:35:07,606
Wow.

846
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,741
You guys look like
you've been here all night.

847
00:35:09,775 --> 00:35:11,219
Well,
because they've been here all night.

848
00:35:11,243 --> 00:35:13,712
I was going for sarcasm.

849
00:35:13,745 --> 00:35:14,713
Oh, sorry.

850
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:15,714
I've been here all night, too.

851
00:35:15,747 --> 00:35:17,416
So what have we got?

852
00:35:17,449 --> 00:35:19,651
DAISY: Matt has
a friend in Defense.

853
00:35:19,685 --> 00:35:21,187
Matt has a friend?

854
00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:22,621
In the Defense Department.

855
00:35:22,654 --> 00:35:24,156
None of my jokes are landing.

856
00:35:24,190 --> 00:35:26,325
Must be the sleep deprivation.

857
00:35:26,358 --> 00:35:28,794
MATT: So my friend in Defense

858
00:35:28,827 --> 00:35:30,362
somehow got his
hands on the manifest

859
00:35:30,396 --> 00:35:32,431
for that Ukrainian flight.

860
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:35,567
Both versions.

861
00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:36,635
Both?

862
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:37,745
JAY: Two days before the flight,

863
00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:40,372
the entire passenger
roster list changed.

864
00:35:40,406 --> 00:35:42,408
The original list was just
his usual inner sanctum.

865
00:35:42,441 --> 00:35:45,177
But suddenly,
the guest list changed

866
00:35:45,211 --> 00:35:46,178
to include seemingly random

867
00:35:46,212 --> 00:35:47,646
members of his staff.

868
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:48,780
"Seemingly."

869
00:35:48,814 --> 00:35:50,182
What's the connective tissue?

870
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:51,817
JAY: Everyone
on board the plane,

871
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:53,252
including Bozek,

872
00:35:53,285 --> 00:35:54,896
was a former officer
in the Ukrainian Army.

873
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,255
All with hundreds of hours

874
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:58,690
of paratroop training
and experience.

875
00:35:58,724 --> 00:36:00,459
(exhales)

876
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:02,694
Wow.

877
00:36:02,728 --> 00:36:03,862
What are the odds?

878
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:05,297
There are no odds.

879
00:36:05,331 --> 00:36:06,665
NADINE: Ma'am.

880
00:36:06,698 --> 00:36:08,200
We're just getting a report

881
00:36:08,234 --> 00:36:10,636
that a man has died in
a Vietnamese hospital

882
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:11,803
of polonium poisoning.

883
00:36:11,837 --> 00:36:13,305
What?

884
00:36:13,339 --> 00:36:17,809
The, uh,
alpha particle signature off his body

885
00:36:17,843 --> 00:36:20,246
indicates that
it's polonium-210.

886
00:36:20,279 --> 00:36:24,416
That's the same kind that
was used to kill George Lasko.

887
00:36:24,450 --> 00:36:25,851
Where was this man from?

888
00:36:25,884 --> 00:36:28,320
ELIZABETH: Ukraine.

889
00:36:28,354 --> 00:36:29,988
Specifically, an agent

890
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:32,658
with their Foreign
Intelligence Service.

891
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,694
A man named Sasha Marchuk.

892
00:36:35,727 --> 00:36:39,331
He spent two days trying to
secure a flight out of Cambodia,

893
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:42,934
but was denied because of his
grave and indeterminate illness.

894
00:36:42,968 --> 00:36:46,772
He finally staggered
into a hospital in Biên Hoa

895
00:36:46,805 --> 00:36:47,773
where he admitted

896
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:50,008
that he was suffering
from polonium poisoning.

897
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,311
By then, it was too late.

898
00:36:52,344 --> 00:36:54,446
He died of liver failure
just a few hours ago.

899
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,947
DALTON: I don't understand.

900
00:36:55,981 --> 00:36:57,349
Who is he?

901
00:36:57,383 --> 00:36:58,950
ELIZABETH: He's the person

902
00:36:58,984 --> 00:37:01,753
who hired the hacker,
George Lasko,

903
00:37:01,787 --> 00:37:05,291
and then killed him
to cover the tracks.

904
00:37:05,324 --> 00:37:07,293
But polonium is a
tricky murder weapon

905
00:37:07,326 --> 00:37:09,728
and he accidentally
poisoned himself.

906
00:37:09,761 --> 00:37:11,697
WARE: You're
saying the Ukrainians

907
00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:13,265
were behind the cyber attack

908
00:37:13,299 --> 00:37:14,433
on Air Force One.

909
00:37:14,466 --> 00:37:15,943
What would they
possibly have to gain?

910
00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:18,370
President Bozek was panicked
about Russian aggression

911
00:37:18,404 --> 00:37:20,572
and he knew Ukraine
could never stand up to them

912
00:37:20,606 --> 00:37:21,907
without international aid.

913
00:37:21,940 --> 00:37:24,376
So he decided to take
matters into his own hands.

914
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:26,978
He sought out Lasko and
gave him countless resources

915
00:37:27,012 --> 00:37:29,915
to develop his malware
and hack Air Force One.

916
00:37:29,948 --> 00:37:32,384
ELIZABETH: He figured
we'd blame Russia

917
00:37:32,418 --> 00:37:34,320
and get pulled
into the conflict.

918
00:37:34,353 --> 00:37:35,654
But when we
didn't take the bait,

919
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:37,889
he followed up with
an appeal to join NATO.

920
00:37:37,923 --> 00:37:40,326
His request was denied,

921
00:37:40,359 --> 00:37:42,494
so he escalated the ruse.

922
00:37:42,528 --> 00:37:44,396
JAY: He uploaded
fake financial records

923
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:46,031
onto Lasko's laptop,

924
00:37:46,064 --> 00:37:49,301
transactions pointing
back to Russian GRU.

925
00:37:49,335 --> 00:37:50,645
And then he attacked
his own plane?

926
00:37:50,669 --> 00:37:52,037
JAY: Yes, sir.

927
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:55,541
ELIZABETH: He covered
for the lives of the passengers

928
00:37:55,574 --> 00:37:58,844
by replacing officials

929
00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:00,879
with trained paratroopers.

930
00:38:02,981 --> 00:38:04,750
That was the final
piece of the puzzle.

931
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,352
We just found it.

932
00:38:06,385 --> 00:38:08,053
It wasn't Russia.

933
00:38:09,855 --> 00:38:12,358
We were duped, Mr. President.

934
00:38:12,391 --> 00:38:14,593
It was Bozek all along.

935
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:27,005
BOZEK: Mr. President,

936
00:38:27,038 --> 00:38:28,907
I could not be more at a loss.

937
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,877
Mikhail,
believe me when I tell you

938
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:33,645
this will go much better for you

939
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:35,514
if you dispense
with this approach.

940
00:38:41,587 --> 00:38:44,423
My parents and grandparents

941
00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:48,394
suffered countless horrors
at the hands of the Russians.

942
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:51,096
I was not going to let
Ukraine be swallowed up

943
00:38:51,129 --> 00:38:52,931
by the Russian
monster once again.

944
00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:56,668
I resolved to do
everything in my power,

945
00:38:56,702 --> 00:38:58,069
from risking my life

946
00:38:58,103 --> 00:38:59,571
to risking yours, Mr. President,

947
00:38:59,605 --> 00:39:03,442
to preserve my
country's independence.

948
00:39:03,475 --> 00:39:04,776
I would do it again.

949
00:39:04,810 --> 00:39:07,713
ELIZABETH: Well,
luckily for you,

950
00:39:07,746 --> 00:39:09,748
this scheme of yours

951
00:39:09,781 --> 00:39:11,783
has put us all in the same box.

952
00:39:13,752 --> 00:39:16,755
If we reveal the deception,

953
00:39:16,788 --> 00:39:18,824
Russia will hit you
with everything it's got,

954
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:21,059
killing millions of
innocent people.

955
00:39:22,628 --> 00:39:24,630
And a wordless
pulling out of troops

956
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:26,598
makes us look weak,

957
00:39:26,632 --> 00:39:28,667
exposing you to
the same outcome.

958
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,537
So, for the time being,

959
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:34,673
we are maintaining our presence

960
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:37,743
and enforcing our no-fly
zone over Ukrainian airspace.

961
00:39:37,776 --> 00:39:40,111
40 million Ukrainians

962
00:39:40,145 --> 00:39:41,680
don't deserve to get slaughtered

963
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:43,649
because of what you did.

964
00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:48,520
Thank you.

965
00:39:48,554 --> 00:39:51,623
And my people thank
you for your great mercy.

966
00:39:54,059 --> 00:39:55,761
Let's be clear.

967
00:39:55,794 --> 00:39:59,598
If you breathe one
word of this to anyone,

968
00:39:59,631 --> 00:40:02,768
we will expose you, capture you,

969
00:40:02,801 --> 00:40:05,036
and throw you into
the same dark hole

970
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:06,572
where we kept Noriega.

971
00:40:11,810 --> 00:40:13,745
BOY: Dude,
he was coming across the line

972
00:40:13,779 --> 00:40:14,713
like Beast Mode with a jet pack.

973
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:15,757
You came out of nowhere, dude.

974
00:40:15,781 --> 00:40:17,124
He was dragging you
and trying to shake you off,

975
00:40:17,148 --> 00:40:18,149
but you wouldn't budge.

976
00:40:18,183 --> 00:40:20,552
Then he just tried to fling
you and he was down.

977
00:40:20,586 --> 00:40:21,896
Boom! I thought
there was gonna be

978
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,088
nothing but a grease spot.

979
00:40:23,121 --> 00:40:24,523
The Secretary of State.

980
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:26,901
JASON: Oh, hey, Mom. The, uh...

981
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:28,059
the guys brought pizza.

982
00:40:28,093 --> 00:40:29,928
I know, it... it smells so good.

983
00:40:29,961 --> 00:40:31,663
Don't let me interrupt.

984
00:40:31,697 --> 00:40:33,799
Your son is one crazy-ass ball player,
ma'am. Dude!

985
00:40:33,832 --> 00:40:35,934
Yeah, I know.

986
00:40:35,967 --> 00:40:38,136
And now he's out for the season.

987
00:40:38,169 --> 00:40:39,505
It's so sad.

988
00:40:39,538 --> 00:40:40,572
She's not sad.

989
00:40:40,606 --> 00:40:42,808
Not the least bit sad.

990
00:40:42,841 --> 00:40:44,510
But I'm glad you
had a good game.

991
00:40:44,543 --> 00:40:45,987
Dude,
you're totally coming back next year.

992
00:40:46,011 --> 00:40:47,979
Oh, you know it, dude.

993
00:40:50,982 --> 00:40:54,019
Our son has a whole new
group of friends named Dude.

994
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:54,986
(chuckles)

995
00:40:55,020 --> 00:40:56,555
(exhales)

996
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:01,092
They named him MVP of the game.

997
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:02,661
Giving him a trophy.

998
00:41:02,694 --> 00:41:04,863
Wow. And I don't
have to worry about him

999
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:06,164
for a whole nother season.

1000
00:41:06,197 --> 00:41:08,634
Oh, forget it.

1001
00:41:08,667 --> 00:41:10,536
He's already told me
he's retiring his jersey.

1002
00:41:10,569 --> 00:41:12,838
What?

1003
00:41:12,871 --> 00:41:14,906
He's talking about fencing now.

1004
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:18,544
Swords.

1005
00:41:18,577 --> 00:41:20,979
Fabulous.

1006
00:41:21,012 --> 00:41:23,014
(sighs)

1007
00:41:24,716 --> 00:41:26,585
Thank you for talking
to me about things

1008
00:41:26,618 --> 00:41:28,086
that could have
sent us to prison.

1009
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:29,855
So you followed
through on your theory?

1010
00:41:29,888 --> 00:41:31,823
Oh, yes.

1011
00:41:31,857 --> 00:41:34,526
All the way to the
president's office.

1012
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,529
World catastrophe avoided.

1013
00:41:37,563 --> 00:41:40,231
Still have to find a way

1014
00:41:40,265 --> 00:41:42,267
to extricate the
U.S. from Ukraine

1015
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:44,169
without losing any more lives.

1016
00:41:44,202 --> 00:41:47,038
Otherwise,
they'll just keep banging the drum

1017
00:41:47,072 --> 00:41:48,774
until someone fires a shot.

1018
00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:51,276
My asset's gone dark.

1019
00:41:52,711 --> 00:41:54,946
I don't know if he got
trapped in the blackout

1020
00:41:54,980 --> 00:41:57,182
or he fled to Stockholm in time.

1021
00:41:57,215 --> 00:41:58,216
I-I have no idea.

1022
00:41:58,249 --> 00:42:00,151
Henry, I'm sorry.

1023
00:42:05,156 --> 00:42:06,892
Why is Jason quitting football?

1024
00:42:06,925 --> 00:42:08,059
Is it because of me?

1025
00:42:08,093 --> 00:42:09,695
Because if he's
really good at it,

1026
00:42:09,728 --> 00:42:11,697
then he should do it,
even if it scares me.

1027
00:42:11,730 --> 00:42:14,265
Uh, no,
he's quitting because it scares him.

1028
00:42:14,299 --> 00:42:16,139
Believe me,
he has nothing more to prove there.

1029
00:42:16,167 --> 00:42:17,869
(phone buzzing)

1030
00:42:20,606 --> 00:42:21,840
Hello, Mr. President.

1031
00:42:25,043 --> 00:42:26,612
Yes, sir.

1032
00:42:26,645 --> 00:42:27,979
I'm on my way.

1033
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,587
You're a praying man, right?

1034
00:42:35,621 --> 00:42:37,141
I'll get St. Francis
on it. He owes me.

1035
00:42:45,797 --> 00:42:47,609
JACKSON: There's a development
over Ukrainian airspace.

1036
00:42:47,633 --> 00:42:49,601
The Russians just
violated the no-fly zone.

1037
00:42:49,635 --> 00:42:50,802
Half an hour ago.

1038
00:42:50,836 --> 00:42:52,604
What does Ostrov say?

1039
00:42:52,638 --> 00:42:53,805
Nothing at all out of Moscow.

1040
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:55,116
They're not picking
up the phone.

1041
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:56,742
The message is clear.

1042
00:42:56,775 --> 00:42:59,010
They're not recognizing
our authority.

1043
00:42:59,044 --> 00:43:00,779
It's their show.

1044
00:43:00,812 --> 00:43:02,280
Then we have to
be equally clear.

1045
00:43:02,313 --> 00:43:04,683
KOHL: Our men are locked and loaded,
Mr. President.

1046
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:11,222
Just waiting for the order.

1047
00:43:17,395 --> 00:43:19,097
Permission to engage, sir?

1048
00:43:24,836 --> 00:43:26,271
Permission granted.
