1
00:00:10,097 --> 00:00:13,056
A cyber attack is no longer
a question of if, but when.

2
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,666
Mr. Al Nasri, what
I'm offering you...

3
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:16,799
Salman, Salman, please.

4
00:00:16,842 --> 00:00:19,628
You are tenacious, my friend.

5
00:00:19,671 --> 00:00:22,457
I prefer to think of myself
as passionate about my work.

6
00:00:24,937 --> 00:00:26,983
I will make with you a bargain.

7
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,812
You will consult
Al Nasri Financial

8
00:00:29,855 --> 00:00:31,944
to strengthen our
cyber defenses...

9
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:33,772
if you can tell me
why I'm bringing

10
00:00:33,816 --> 00:00:36,993
American fast casual
dining to the Kingdom.

11
00:00:39,387 --> 00:00:41,954
Because in five years,

12
00:00:41,998 --> 00:00:43,323
single women will drive
themselves to work,

13
00:00:43,347 --> 00:00:44,747
and there will be
more movie screens

14
00:00:44,771 --> 00:00:46,568
in Jeddah than in
Midtown Manhattan.

15
00:00:46,611 --> 00:00:48,439
Because you see the
new Saudi Arabia...

16
00:00:48,483 --> 00:00:52,095
Government transparency,
education reform, trade.

17
00:00:52,139 --> 00:00:56,099
Honestly, my daughter just
loves their milkshakes.

18
00:00:56,143 --> 00:01:00,060
But I like what you said.

19
00:01:01,713 --> 00:01:02,993
Welcome to the new Saudi Arabia.

20
00:01:12,376 --> 00:01:18,034
Hey, you're missing some primo
huevos rancheros in here.

21
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:19,601
Brain food.[newswoman
speaking on TV]

22
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:22,169
Eggs are brain food?

23
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,040
Too bad we don't have a
National Merit Scholar

24
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:25,433
to ask about that.

25
00:01:25,476 --> 00:01:26,651
Please stop. Wait.

26
00:01:26,695 --> 00:01:28,305
Isn't our son a
National Merit Scholar?

27
00:01:28,349 --> 00:01:30,873
Well, wouldn't his school

28
00:01:30,916 --> 00:01:33,919
have some kind of formal
ceremony recognizing him

29
00:01:33,963 --> 00:01:35,530
as a National Merit Scholar?

30
00:01:35,573 --> 00:01:37,706
I did well on a
standardized test.

31
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:39,534
I didn't sequence
the human genome.

32
00:01:39,577 --> 00:01:42,145
Oh, look, you're
being celebrated

33
00:01:42,189 --> 00:01:44,800
for all your hard work, and
a $2,500 scholarship...

34
00:01:44,843 --> 00:01:46,976
Thank you... that is
nothing to sneeze at.

35
00:01:47,019 --> 00:01:48,673
So, get over here and feed

36
00:01:48,717 --> 00:01:50,849
that National Merit
Scholar brain.

37
00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:54,070
Oh, look, it's your new
best friend again.

38
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,594
The bombing four months ago
that killed an American

39
00:01:56,638 --> 00:01:59,031
and many others is yet
another tragic consequence

40
00:01:59,075 --> 00:02:02,948
of Secretary McCord and
the Dalton administration

41
00:02:02,992 --> 00:02:04,994
aiding and abetting those
that would do us harm.

42
00:02:05,037 --> 00:02:07,649
REPORTER: Are you implying
that the Dalton administration

43
00:02:07,692 --> 00:02:09,477
is negotiating...
It's unbelievable.

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,043
We invited this guy
into our home.

45
00:02:11,087 --> 00:02:15,091
I like to think he remembers
that night fondly sometimes

46
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,224
when he's sunning
himself on a rock.

47
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:18,877
[chuckles]CARLOS:
Well, look, Trevor,

48
00:02:18,921 --> 00:02:24,100
who is Hezbollah's patron state?
It's Iran.

49
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:27,495
Elizabeth McCord naively
trooped off to Tehran

50
00:02:27,538 --> 00:02:29,366
to negotiate a nuclear deal,

51
00:02:29,410 --> 00:02:32,978
and she gave away our
sanctions leverage.

52
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:35,938
She promised us peace,
and look what we got.

53
00:02:35,981 --> 00:02:38,897
And now she's back
with the so-called.

54
00:02:38,941 --> 00:02:41,465
"Phase Two" of the negotiations.

55
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:43,467
That's why I've
introduced legislation

56
00:02:43,511 --> 00:02:45,730
to undo this
disastrous Phase One,

57
00:02:45,774 --> 00:02:47,906
and to stop Phase
Two in its tracks.

58
00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:50,170
That guy has one of the
most punchable faces

59
00:02:50,213 --> 00:02:52,084
of all time. Well,
yeah, but I mean,

60
00:02:52,128 --> 00:02:53,347
he kind of has a point.

61
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:55,610
I mean, the bomb killed
a lot of people,

62
00:02:55,653 --> 00:02:57,453
and then the deal just
let billions of dollars

63
00:02:57,481 --> 00:02:58,743
flow into a hostile regime.

64
00:02:58,787 --> 00:03:00,507
I mean, what do... What
do we get in return?

65
00:03:00,531 --> 00:03:02,007
Here we go. I'm just saying

66
00:03:02,051 --> 00:03:04,662
it seems like Phase One left a lot
of important issues unresolved.

67
00:03:04,706 --> 00:03:06,098
Well, that's because it did.

68
00:03:07,056 --> 00:03:09,058
By design.

69
00:03:09,101 --> 00:03:12,627
Okay, so Morejon's
not entirely wrong.

70
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:16,370
ELIZABETH: Iran was
one month away

71
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,329
from having a viable
nuclear weapon.

72
00:03:19,373 --> 00:03:22,245
One month.

73
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:24,987
That would have posed
an existential threat

74
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:28,991
to Israel, Europe and,
ultimately, the United States.

75
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,254
And the scale of the
war that it would've

76
00:03:31,298 --> 00:03:32,690
taken to prevent that...

77
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,693
Well, let's just say
instead of college,

78
00:03:35,737 --> 00:03:40,132
right now, you might well be
thinking about the draft.

79
00:03:40,176 --> 00:03:42,004
That's what we got in return.

80
00:03:42,047 --> 00:03:43,832
So, you're welcome.

81
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:45,715
The fact that these talks
are happening at all,

82
00:03:45,739 --> 00:03:47,314
kind of history-making.

83
00:03:47,357 --> 00:03:48,576
We'll see.

84
00:03:50,142 --> 00:03:52,580
What, you think they
might not work?

85
00:03:54,016 --> 00:03:57,193
Iran is still prevented
from being fully integrated

86
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,977
into the global banking system,

87
00:03:59,021 --> 00:04:01,676
stifling our economy
and costing billions

88
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:03,112
of dollars a year.

89
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:05,288
This must be addressed
first and foremost.

90
00:04:05,332 --> 00:04:06,942
And it could be,
Minister Esfahani,

91
00:04:06,985 --> 00:04:10,380
if Iran is willing to facilitate
a lasting cease-fire in Yemen.

92
00:04:10,424 --> 00:04:12,344
These people have had...
It is your Saudi friends

93
00:04:12,368 --> 00:04:15,037
who are pulling the strings in
the ongoing Yemeni conflict.

94
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,169
The shipload of
anti-aircraft missiles

95
00:04:17,213 --> 00:04:18,562
in the Gulf of Aden,

96
00:04:18,606 --> 00:04:20,303
and the 200 pounds of C-4

97
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:23,828
intercepted by the
Bahrani authorities?

98
00:04:23,872 --> 00:04:26,178
We all know your Quds Forces
directed those shipments.

99
00:04:26,222 --> 00:04:29,660
Minister, arming the rebels
in Yemen can only lead

100
00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:30,792
to more violence.

101
00:04:30,835 --> 00:04:33,055
If you want to de-escalate

102
00:04:33,098 --> 00:04:35,057
the situation in Yemen,

103
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,147
then a public statement
from Saudi Arabia

104
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:39,322
pledging to do just that

105
00:04:39,366 --> 00:04:42,891
would be viewed
favorably in Tehran.

106
00:04:42,934 --> 00:04:46,111
Well, Minister, the
United States insists

107
00:04:46,155 --> 00:04:48,462
that Iran first respect
the sovereignty

108
00:04:48,505 --> 00:04:49,898
of its neighbors.

109
00:04:49,941 --> 00:04:52,727
I'm afraid the United States
lacks the credibility

110
00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:54,424
to lecture anyone

111
00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:57,035
on honoring a
nation's sovereignty.

112
00:04:57,079 --> 00:05:00,082
Ask our neighbors, the Iraqis.

113
00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:05,498
Bess, we're thinking of
punting the Phase Two talks

114
00:05:05,522 --> 00:05:06,610
until after the midterms.

115
00:05:06,654 --> 00:05:07,872
Sir, we need to press on.

116
00:05:07,916 --> 00:05:10,919
Morejon, he-he's
just grandstanding.

117
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:13,082
RUSSELL: Well, to hear the
talking heads on cable news

118
00:05:13,106 --> 00:05:15,358
tell it, we've got
Iranian extremists

119
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,969
implicated in the murder
of an American citizen

120
00:05:18,013 --> 00:05:20,537
while you're airlifting
billion-dollar gift baskets

121
00:05:20,581 --> 00:05:21,973
into Tehran.

122
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:24,017
Our allies in Congress were
skittish to begin with.

123
00:05:24,061 --> 00:05:26,498
This doesn't help. I'm already
booked on Trevor Vance's show

124
00:05:26,542 --> 00:05:27,936
to get our side out there.

125
00:05:27,979 --> 00:05:29,459
Meanwhile, the Saudis...
You remember,

126
00:05:29,483 --> 00:05:31,026
our allies, the Saudis...

127
00:05:31,069 --> 00:05:34,203
Are all spun up over this
arms deal you're slow-rolling

128
00:05:34,246 --> 00:05:35,378
to placate Iran.

129
00:05:35,422 --> 00:05:37,337
The Saudis will get

130
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,947
their precision-guided missiles.
When?

131
00:05:40,731 --> 00:05:42,603
Give me three more months.

132
00:05:42,646 --> 00:05:45,823
I'll tell them that-that
the deal is hung up

133
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:47,216
with our lawyers

134
00:05:47,259 --> 00:05:49,914
at the Political-
Military Affairs

135
00:05:49,958 --> 00:05:51,786
and the folks at DSCA.

136
00:05:51,829 --> 00:05:54,310
Which is actually semi-true.

137
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:58,619
But besides, they will
get greater security

138
00:05:58,662 --> 00:06:01,056
if we are able to pull off

139
00:06:01,099 --> 00:06:02,425
the Phase Two talks. Yeah,
well, something tells me

140
00:06:02,449 --> 00:06:03,798
they won't see it that way.

141
00:06:03,841 --> 00:06:05,190
Morejon certainly won't.

142
00:06:05,234 --> 00:06:07,192
He's close to wrangling
enough votes

143
00:06:07,236 --> 00:06:08,759
to scuttle any deal we make.

144
00:06:08,803 --> 00:06:13,329
Backing off till after
the midterms...

145
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,375
gives us room to maneuver.

146
00:06:17,638 --> 00:06:21,250
If we postpone the
talks, Iran will walk.

147
00:06:21,293 --> 00:06:23,731
And if they do, it
all but guarantees

148
00:06:23,774 --> 00:06:26,124
they'll continue
funding our enemies.

149
00:06:26,168 --> 00:06:29,258
And how are the talks going?
Slowly,

150
00:06:29,301 --> 00:06:30,868
sir.

151
00:06:30,912 --> 00:06:35,046
We are negotiating with a
long-time adversary, Russell,

152
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:36,700
not microwaving soup...
It takes time.

153
00:06:36,744 --> 00:06:39,050
Which I hope I'm making
clear is not on our side.

154
00:06:39,094 --> 00:06:41,270
What might speed up the process?

155
00:06:41,313 --> 00:06:45,840
Okay, my team has
flagged an inducement

156
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,842
that we think could grab
the Iranians enough

157
00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:51,236
to force some real concessions.

158
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,371
Access to SWIFT interbank
communications network.

159
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,615
You want to just let them back

160
00:06:56,658 --> 00:06:58,138
into the international
banking system?

161
00:06:58,162 --> 00:06:59,070
They are desperate

162
00:06:59,114 --> 00:07:01,638
to bring their economy
in from the cold.

163
00:07:01,682 --> 00:07:05,425
So this could allow us to
demand serious concessions

164
00:07:05,468 --> 00:07:07,427
in exchange.

165
00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:12,170
All right, Bess, but
you're on the clock here.

166
00:07:12,214 --> 00:07:14,129
Yes. Longer this drags out,

167
00:07:14,172 --> 00:07:15,913
the better chance
these talks get

168
00:07:15,957 --> 00:07:17,219
pulled down around our ears.

169
00:07:17,262 --> 00:07:19,613
Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr.
President, Russell.

170
00:07:19,656 --> 00:07:21,702
Yeah. [sighs]

171
00:07:23,704 --> 00:07:26,184
GENERAL WINFIELD: So, I
hear you've pared back

172
00:07:26,228 --> 00:07:30,319
some of your
off-campus activities.

173
00:07:30,362 --> 00:07:32,669
More time for my students.

174
00:07:32,713 --> 00:07:34,236
Well, that is good news.

175
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:37,979
Because one of your proposals
has gained some traction

176
00:07:38,022 --> 00:07:39,328
with the board.

177
00:07:39,371 --> 00:07:41,373
Oh, yeah? Which
proposal is that?

178
00:07:41,417 --> 00:07:44,115
Some additional funding
has made launching

179
00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:45,987
a military ethics department

180
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:47,467
a viable option.

181
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:50,078
Well, that is great news.
I think it'll be

182
00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:51,819
an invaluable asset
to our program.

183
00:07:51,862 --> 00:07:54,430
"Today's battle space
ranges from cyberspace

184

to make sound decisions in
a rapidly changing world."

188
00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:05,441
That was some memo you wrote.

189
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,442
Two years ago.

190
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,792
Academia.

191
00:08:08,836 --> 00:08:11,186
Worse, government-funded
academia.

192
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:13,318
We'll need an interim chair.

193
00:08:13,362 --> 00:08:14,972
You're at the top of our list.

194
00:08:17,061 --> 00:08:20,456
Oh, I'm flattered you would
think of me, General,

195
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,458
but I really am looking forward

196
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,155
to getting back to
teaching full time.

197
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:25,679
Oh, I just assumed

198
00:08:25,722 --> 00:08:28,508
since it was your idea, you'd
want to lead the charge.

199
00:08:28,551 --> 00:08:32,773
A perfectly logical assumption.
Nevertheless, I...

200
00:08:32,816 --> 00:08:34,496
Give me a couple of
days to think about it.

201
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,950
Absolutely.

202
00:08:35,993 --> 00:08:37,560
Thanks.

203
00:08:40,258 --> 00:08:41,912
[elevator bell dings]

204
00:08:41,956 --> 00:08:43,156
Good news and bad news, ma'am.

205
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:44,741
You now what? Let's be Zen

206
00:08:44,785 --> 00:08:47,875
and call it all just news.
Fair enough.

207
00:08:47,918 --> 00:08:50,268
Uh, neutral news
item number one:

208
00:08:50,312 --> 00:08:52,532
The Iranians responded well
to the prospect of being

209
00:08:52,575 --> 00:08:55,796
reintroduced into the
SWIFT banking system.

210
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:58,973
You think they'd be open to
cutting off financial support

211
00:08:59,016 --> 00:09:00,975
to their proxy forces,
like Hezbollah?

212
00:09:01,018 --> 00:09:02,858
They didn't leave the
table when I broached it,

213
00:09:02,882 --> 00:09:04,500
so we'll call it a start.

214
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:05,719
Okay, good work.

215
00:09:05,762 --> 00:09:07,895
Ma'am.Um...

216
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:11,551
So what's the, um,
you know, othernews?

217
00:09:11,594 --> 00:09:13,335
Yeah, um, the Saudi
ambassador showed up

218
00:09:13,378 --> 00:09:15,859
without an appointment, and
he does not look happy.

219
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:17,339
Well, I'll deal with that.

220
00:09:17,382 --> 00:09:18,775
You keep at it
with the Iranians.

221
00:09:18,819 --> 00:09:19,776
Yes, ma'am.

222
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:21,517
Madam Secretary.

223
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,519
Prince Asim. Come on in.

224
00:09:24,781 --> 00:09:26,522
I needn't remind
the United States

225
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:27,958
of the importance of honoring

226
00:09:28,002 --> 00:09:29,786
its commitments to its
long-term partner.

227
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:32,484
The United States
has always valued

228
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:34,748
its alliance with Saudi Arabia.

229
00:09:34,791 --> 00:09:36,619
And yet, you delay sending us

230
00:09:36,663 --> 00:09:39,970
essential defensive
weapons, all in an effort

231
00:09:40,014 --> 00:09:43,234
to placate the Iranians. First
of all, there's no delay.

232
00:09:43,278 --> 00:09:45,628
Our lawyers are simply
reviewing the contracts.

233
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:48,196
They have to do that every
time we make an arms deal.

234
00:09:48,239 --> 00:09:50,459
Three more months have
mysteriously been added

235
00:09:50,502 --> 00:09:52,548
to the delivery timeline.

236
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:53,767
How is that not a delay?

237
00:09:53,810 --> 00:09:56,073
I assure you we are not
naive to the threat

238
00:09:56,117 --> 00:09:59,033
Iran poses. If you do not
give us the weapons we need,

239
00:09:59,076 --> 00:10:01,470
then you are not only naive,
but complicit in that threat.

240
00:10:01,513 --> 00:10:04,081
You have the right
to self-defense,

241
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:06,214
but you have no right
to barge into my office

242
00:10:06,257 --> 00:10:08,956
and demand U.S.
precision-guided munitions

243
00:10:08,999 --> 00:10:11,393
on your timetable.

244
00:10:13,482 --> 00:10:16,485
During your
misadventure in Iraq,

245
00:10:16,528 --> 00:10:18,661
it was Saudi Arabia
that opened its bases

246
00:10:18,705 --> 00:10:20,881
and airspace to you.

247
00:10:20,924 --> 00:10:22,970
Free of charge, no less.

248
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:25,102
Perhaps you have forgotten
who your true friends are.

249
00:10:25,146 --> 00:10:27,844
I assure you, we have not.

250
00:10:27,888 --> 00:10:29,846
Excellent.

251
00:10:29,890 --> 00:10:31,108
His Majesty will be pleased

252
00:10:31,152 --> 00:10:32,712
to hear these delays
are being resolved,

253
00:10:32,736 --> 00:10:35,286
and the missiles will be
on their way very soon.

254
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:37,637
Good day, Madam Secretary.

255
00:10:43,381 --> 00:10:44,687
Anyway, the moral
of the story is

256
00:10:44,731 --> 00:10:47,124
you try to make peace
in the Middle East,

257
00:10:47,168 --> 00:10:50,432
everybody gets mad at you.

258
00:10:50,475 --> 00:10:52,695
At least one of us
had a good day.

259
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,871
Mm, to tell you the truth,

260
00:10:54,915 --> 00:10:56,960
I think I'm gonna
pass on that job.

261
00:10:57,004 --> 00:10:58,614
Why?

262
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,485
The ethics department
was your idea.

263
00:11:00,529 --> 00:11:02,400
They literally got the memo.

264
00:11:02,444 --> 00:11:06,753
It's... dealing with staffing
assignments and budget requests.

265
00:11:06,796 --> 00:11:08,189
[sighing]: Uh...

266
00:11:08,232 --> 00:11:09,407
You remember

267
00:11:09,451 --> 00:11:11,627
how mind-numbing college
bureaucracy can be.

268
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,411
Not to mention the
petty politics.

the Middle East

270
00:11:14,935 --> 00:11:16,197
look like child's play.

271
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,460
Exactly. So, just think

272
00:11:18,503 --> 00:11:21,245
I want to just focus on
teaching for a while,

273
00:11:21,289 --> 00:11:22,464
avoid the headaches.

274
00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:25,815
Is that the whole story?

275
00:11:25,859 --> 00:11:28,383
[sighing]: Well,

276
00:11:28,426 --> 00:11:31,299
maybe I'm feeling a little burnt
after my experience at CIA.

I-I'm just not so hot

leadership position

280
00:11:35,303 --> 00:11:36,870
where you're getting
it from all sides.

281
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:38,915
I have thoughts. Hold on.

282
00:11:43,267 --> 00:11:45,226
Yeah?

283
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:48,185
Send him in.

284
00:11:48,229 --> 00:11:50,100

pleasure, or alarm?

You want some tea, or something?

Can't stay. Gordon's waiting.

Listen, the news will
probably break tomorrow,

hear it from me first.

00:12:03,984 --> 00:12:05,768
I got a tip from a source

00:12:05,812 --> 00:12:06,900
at the D.C. District Court.

294
00:12:06,943 --> 00:12:07,988
You're being sued.

the American killed in
the Riyadh bombing.

They're suing you for the
wrongful death of their son.

I'll-I'll call you tomorrow.

303
00:12:31,925 --> 00:12:33,361
MIKE: Basically, the suit claims

304
00:12:33,404 --> 00:12:34,797
that Elizabeth
facilitated a deal

305
00:12:34,841 --> 00:12:36,886
which led to funds being
freed up to go to Iran.

306
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:39,106
Those funds made their
way to Hezbollah,

307
00:12:39,149 --> 00:12:40,585
whose operative may have paid

308
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:43,284
for the bombing that killed
Jim Dawson, which is,

309
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:44,938
on its merits... Absurd.

310
00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:46,741
[laughs softly] The legal
term is "spurious."

311
00:12:46,765 --> 00:12:49,116
But in any case, sovereign
immunity shields Elizabeth

312
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:50,508
from legal liability.

313
00:12:50,552 --> 00:12:53,381
I can certainly understand
the family's anger,

314
00:12:53,424 --> 00:12:56,210
but if the suit is a nonstarter,

315
00:12:56,253 --> 00:12:58,603
what do they hope to gain by it?

316
00:12:58,647 --> 00:13:01,047
I can't imagine these people are
taking out a second mortgage

317
00:13:01,084 --> 00:13:03,565
to keep a $700 per
hour firm on retainer.

318
00:13:03,608 --> 00:13:04,740
Someone's behind this.

319
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,220
So I'll put together a list

320
00:13:06,263 --> 00:13:07,903

Long list.

323
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:12,052
There's, uh...

324
00:13:12,095 --> 00:13:14,532
also the matter of what
Jim Dawson was doing

325
00:13:14,576 --> 00:13:16,099
in Saudi Arabia.

326
00:13:16,143 --> 00:13:19,363
Jim Dawson was a, uh,
cyber security consultant

327
00:13:19,407 --> 00:13:22,018
for a handful of companies
from Algiers to Abu Dhabi,

328
00:13:22,062 --> 00:13:25,239
and he was one of ours.

329
00:13:25,282 --> 00:13:27,023
Dawson was a spy?

330
00:13:27,067 --> 00:13:28,851
Yeah. Six years,

331
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:30,070

Spent the last eight
at the agency

334
00:13:33,856 --> 00:13:36,076
infiltrating extremist
money networks.

335
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:37,468
So his cover was blown?

336
00:13:37,512 --> 00:13:39,644
Do we think this was
an assassination?

337
00:13:39,688 --> 00:13:44,040
Yes, but, uh, Dawson
wasn't the target.

338
00:13:44,084 --> 00:13:45,955
Salman Al Nasri.

339
00:13:45,999 --> 00:13:47,870
He's an entrepreneur,
used his billions

340
00:13:47,914 --> 00:13:51,134
to fund a variety of
progressive initiatives.

341
00:13:51,178 --> 00:13:53,223
The attackers were ideologues

342
00:13:53,267 --> 00:13:55,660
motivated to strike at
the "decadent West."

343
00:13:55,704 --> 00:13:57,575
CIA thinks our man was just

344
00:13:57,619 --> 00:13:59,534
in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

345
00:13:59,577 --> 00:14:01,977
Well, speaking of being in the
wrong place at the wrong time,

346
00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:06,019
Elizabeth... and I cannot stress
this enough... do not get served.

347
00:14:06,062 --> 00:14:07,847
And that is the sum total

348
00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:10,588
of your vaunted and
costly legal advice?

349
00:14:10,632 --> 00:14:12,232
Taking the summons,
plus the wrong judge,

350
00:14:12,256 --> 00:14:13,635
leaves you open to be deposed.

351
00:14:13,678 --> 00:14:15,115
A deposition means

352
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:17,198
you go on record declining
to answer their questions

353
00:14:17,222 --> 00:14:19,684
on national security
grounds, so, yeah.

354
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,512
Yeah, Morejon could
spin your silence

355
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:24,559
as putting the Iran deal over
the family of a dead American.

356
00:14:24,602 --> 00:14:26,648
Dead at the hands of
Iranian-backed terrorists.

357
00:14:26,691 --> 00:14:28,693
Yeah, which just adds
more fuel to his fire

358
00:14:28,737 --> 00:14:30,217
to kill your deal in Congress.

359
00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:33,133
So... if you don't
want that to happen...

360
00:14:33,176 --> 00:14:35,613
Don't get served.

361
00:14:37,659 --> 00:14:41,881
To be clear: We are sitting
in the White House,

362
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:43,273
in front of the president,

363
00:14:43,317 --> 00:14:45,014
and you're telling
me to dodge the law.

364
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:46,842
Now she's getting it.

365
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,670
[inhales]

366
00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:49,714
[knocking on door]

367
00:14:52,413 --> 00:14:53,853
Oh, uh, I-I'm sorry.
I can come back.

368
00:14:53,877 --> 00:14:55,835
Uh, no, stay. Please, come in.

369
00:14:56,591 --> 00:14:58,201
Auspicious timing.

370
00:14:58,245 --> 00:14:59,594
Have you met Lyle Belkin?

371
00:14:59,637 --> 00:15:01,596
He's one of our
visiting professors.

372
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:02,945
Well, good to meet you.

373
00:15:02,989 --> 00:15:04,789
I read your book on
Sherman's March to the Sea

374
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:06,182
and the birth of total warfare.

375
00:15:06,226 --> 00:15:07,689
Very nice work. Thank you.

376
00:15:07,732 --> 00:15:10,518
And you are the famous Mr.
Madam Secretary.

377
00:15:10,561 --> 00:15:14,391
[chuckles] That's one of the
titles that I proudly hold.

378
00:15:14,435 --> 00:15:16,350
I hope she's got
her wicker shield.

379
00:15:16,393 --> 00:15:18,569
I'm not following you.

380
00:15:18,613 --> 00:15:22,269
Ancient Persian soldiers were
famous for their wicker shields,

381
00:15:22,312 --> 00:15:23,618
as I'm sure you know.

382
00:15:23,661 --> 00:15:25,402
The media seems to think

383
00:15:25,446 --> 00:15:27,166
she's fighting for the
Iranians now, it's...

384
00:15:27,190 --> 00:15:29,537
Sorry, bad joke.

385
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:31,278
Is that what that was?

386
00:15:31,321 --> 00:15:33,149
WINFIELD: Uh, Lyle was just

387
00:15:33,193 --> 00:15:36,979
expressing his interest in the
interim ethics department chair.

388
00:15:37,023 --> 00:15:40,026
He dropped in to share some
ideas about the curriculum.

389
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:42,071
Well, then, it is
auspicious timing,

390
00:15:42,115 --> 00:15:43,507
because I came by to say

391
00:15:43,551 --> 00:15:46,554
that I'm interested
in the job myself.

392
00:15:46,597 --> 00:15:48,599
Oh.

393
00:15:48,643 --> 00:15:49,861
Well, that's excellent.

394
00:15:49,905 --> 00:15:53,169
You should both prepare
a short presentation

395
00:15:53,213 --> 00:15:55,041
with your vision for
the department,

396
00:15:55,084 --> 00:15:58,740
and why you think you'd be
the best person for the job.

397
00:15:58,783 --> 00:16:00,916
I'll set up interviews with
the board immediately.

398
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,309
Great.

399
00:16:02,352 --> 00:16:04,006
May the best man win.

400
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:05,312
I'm looking forward to it.

401
00:16:05,355 --> 00:16:07,923
Lyle.

402
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,795
ELIZABETH: The deal that
we have in place now

403
00:16:10,839 --> 00:16:14,190
caps Iran's enrichment
at four percent,

404
00:16:14,234 --> 00:16:17,628
which is nowhere
near the 90% level

405
00:16:17,672 --> 00:16:19,369
they would need to build a bomb.

406
00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:22,111
Americans are objectively safer,

407
00:16:22,155 --> 00:16:24,026
thanks to Phase One,

408
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:27,508
and Phase Two will just
build on that good work.

409
00:16:27,551 --> 00:16:30,250
Now, I wonder if the family of
Jim Dawson would agree with you.

410
00:16:30,293 --> 00:16:32,252
Uh, can we roll that tape?

411
00:16:32,295 --> 00:16:36,125
We give these people money and
they use it to attack us?

412
00:16:36,169 --> 00:16:38,127
Uh...

413
00:16:38,171 --> 00:16:42,088
He was the best son
a father could w...

414
00:16:43,741 --> 00:16:47,354
I just don't understand.

415
00:16:47,397 --> 00:16:49,660
And what do you say to that
family who's lost their son?

416
00:16:49,704 --> 00:16:51,749
It's a terrible loss.

417
00:16:51,793 --> 00:16:54,448
My heart truly breaks
for the Dawson family.

418
00:16:54,491 --> 00:16:56,232
Well, Senator
Carlos Morejon asks

419
00:16:56,276 --> 00:16:58,017
if this isn't the
inevitable result

420
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:00,541
of making deals with Iran.

421
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:04,197
Isn't what you call "peace,"
really appeasement?

422
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,417
Well, you know, at the
height of the Cold War,

423
00:17:07,461 --> 00:17:10,594
Ronald Reagan negotiated
the START treaty

424
00:17:10,638 --> 00:17:12,988
with the Soviet Union,
drastically reducing

425
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,469
both nations'
nuclear stockpiles.

426
00:17:15,512 --> 00:17:19,603
Now, if we could negotiate

427
00:17:19,647 --> 00:17:23,085
with the greatest adversary
this country has ever faced,

428
00:17:23,129 --> 00:17:25,392
at a moment of maximum peril,

429
00:17:25,435 --> 00:17:30,179
I think we can do the same with
a regional power like Iran.

430
00:17:30,223 --> 00:17:31,789
Forgive me if this is difficult,

431
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:35,793
but some say you have lost
clarity when it comes to Iran,

432
00:17:35,837 --> 00:17:37,237
due to your own
painful experiences.

433
00:17:37,261 --> 00:17:39,710
Who says that, exactly?

434
00:17:39,754 --> 00:17:41,799
Well, several sources.

435
00:17:41,843 --> 00:17:43,192
Well, you're implying

436
00:17:43,236 --> 00:17:46,021
that there's a chorus
of critics out there

437
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:50,025
who are concerned about my
ability to reason clearly.

438
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:51,635
Can you name one?

439
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:54,377
Please, just answer
my question, ma'am.

440
00:17:57,554 --> 00:18:00,905
Actually, I would
say that witnessing

441
00:18:00,949 --> 00:18:03,038
the horrors of
terrorism firsthand

442
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,866
gave me absolute clarity

443
00:18:04,909 --> 00:18:08,304
on the need to protect the
American people from it.

444
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:11,699
I'm also absolutely clear

445
00:18:11,742 --> 00:18:14,789
that violence should
only be resorted to

446
00:18:14,832 --> 00:18:18,836
when every other option
has been exhausted.

447
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,665
I wouldn't wish

448
00:18:21,709 --> 00:18:25,539
how I came to that
clarity on anyone.

449
00:18:25,582 --> 00:18:29,499
Even those who treat
questions of war and peace

450
00:18:29,543 --> 00:18:32,720
as just another
Washington gotcha game.

451
00:18:32,763 --> 00:18:36,506
But thank you for
your concern, Trevor.

452
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:39,553
Well, that is all
the time we have.

453
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:41,903
DAISY: Well, I think
it's safe to say

454
00:18:41,946 --> 00:18:44,993
that people heard the other
side of the argument.[chuckles]

455
00:18:45,036 --> 00:18:46,603
You okay, ma'am?

456
00:18:46,647 --> 00:18:47,952
Yeah, I'm fine.

457
00:18:47,996 --> 00:18:50,781
You don't really talk much
about your time in Iran.

458
00:18:50,825 --> 00:18:52,783
He wanted to go there.

459
00:18:52,827 --> 00:18:54,045
I went there.

460
00:18:54,089 --> 00:18:57,832
Yep. You sure did.

461
00:18:57,875 --> 00:18:59,312
Elizabeth McCord? Sir, get back.

462
00:19:00,464 --> 00:19:01,464
Gun!

463
00:19:01,488 --> 00:19:02,315
Whoa. MAN: What?

464
00:19:02,358 --> 00:19:04,230
[shouts, grunts]

465
00:19:04,273 --> 00:19:05,448
Show me your hands!

466
00:19:05,492 --> 00:19:07,407
Let me see them! I'm
a process server.

467
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:08,234
I'm a...

468
00:19:08,277 --> 00:19:10,366
process server.

469
00:19:10,410 --> 00:19:13,195
I'm a... [grunts]
process server.

470
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,329
Bad news, ma'am.

471
00:19:16,372 --> 00:19:19,288
We're trying to rise
above labels now,

472
00:19:19,332 --> 00:19:21,290
and calling it all just "news."

473
00:19:21,334 --> 00:19:22,552
Yeah, have fun with that.

474
00:19:22,596 --> 00:19:24,467
AGENT: Gun!

475
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,817
DAISY: Someone from the crowd
recorded it on their cell.

476
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:27,949
The cable shows

477
00:19:27,992 --> 00:19:29,907
are playing it on loop. Ow.

478
00:19:29,951 --> 00:19:32,127
With the oh, so original
title "Tacklegate."

479
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:35,913
You know, how about we
just retire "blankgate"

480
00:19:35,957 --> 00:19:37,480
as a construction altogether?

481
00:19:37,524 --> 00:19:39,134
I'm sorry. BLAKE:
So I'm guessing

482
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,310
that no one's talking about
the secretary's appearance

483
00:19:41,354 --> 00:19:43,182
on Trevor Vance's show?

484
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:45,314
No, because they're all
too busy watching me

485
00:19:45,358 --> 00:19:46,968
running away from
the family of a man

486
00:19:47,011 --> 00:19:49,057
who was killed by
Iranian-backed terror.

487
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,321
Which is exactly what POTUS
was afraid of, by the way.

488
00:19:52,365 --> 00:19:55,890
More, um, "news," ma'am:
Uh, you're trending.

489
00:19:55,933 --> 00:19:58,327
♫ SecretaryOfEscape.

490
00:19:58,371 --> 00:20:00,503
Also, no more hashtags.

491
00:20:00,547 --> 00:20:03,376
I'll tell everyone.

492
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:04,942
Let me see your hands!

493
00:20:04,986 --> 00:20:07,467
ELIZABETH: It looks a lot
worse than it really was.

494
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:08,859
I'm a process server. Right?

495
00:20:08,903 --> 00:20:11,166
Well, I hope so, 'cause
it looks pretty bad.

496
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,298
[chuckles] [sighs]

497
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:14,082
You're supposed
to be on my side.

498
00:20:14,125 --> 00:20:16,867
Well, hey, what kind of
ethics professor would I be

499
00:20:16,911 --> 00:20:18,869
if I wasn't honest, right?

500
00:20:18,913 --> 00:20:20,523
I don't know.

501
00:20:20,567 --> 00:20:23,004
What kind of ethics
professor wants to be

502
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:24,440
head of the ethics department

503
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:27,051
just because some guy made
a crack about his wife?

504
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:29,402
Hey, it's not that simple.

505
00:20:29,445 --> 00:20:33,057
Okay, it's not
entirely that simple.

506
00:20:33,101 --> 00:20:35,059
[sighing]: I... just...

507
00:20:35,103 --> 00:20:37,018
Lyle rubs me the wrong way.

508
00:20:37,061 --> 00:20:38,237
But...

509
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,720
Look, we have a real
opportunity here

510
00:20:39,744 --> 00:20:41,414
to help future leaders learn

511
00:20:41,457 --> 00:20:44,852
how to deal with
enormously complex issues.

512
00:20:44,895 --> 00:20:47,420
I-I'm just not certain

513
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:50,423
that Lyle is the right guy
to head the department.

514
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:52,903
That you suggested they
create in the first place.

515
00:20:52,947 --> 00:20:54,644
Well, hey. Hey.

516
00:20:54,688 --> 00:20:55,993
What-what is your argument?

517
00:20:56,037 --> 00:20:57,604
Just that you said you wanted

518
00:20:57,647 --> 00:20:59,475
to spend more time
in the classroom.

519
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,608
You felt burned by the CIA.

520
00:21:01,651 --> 00:21:05,133
The point is, you
wanted one thing,

521
00:21:05,176 --> 00:21:06,700
and then, this guy
Lyle shows up,

522
00:21:06,743 --> 00:21:08,702
and now you want
something different.

523
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:12,662
I am perfectly happy
with whatever you pick.

524
00:21:12,706 --> 00:21:15,274
Just make sure
that you are, too.

525
00:21:15,317 --> 00:21:17,145
Hey, Dad. Hey, kiddo. Hey, Jace.

526
00:21:17,188 --> 00:21:19,147
Brutal takedown, by the way.

527
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:20,975
Was it a thing, at school?

528
00:21:21,018 --> 00:21:23,020
It wasn't not a thing.

529
00:21:23,064 --> 00:21:24,587
[sighs]

530
00:21:24,631 --> 00:21:28,069
I am sorry that my work drama

531
00:21:28,112 --> 00:21:29,592
impacts your life.

532
00:21:29,636 --> 00:21:31,246
It's... fine.

533
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,988
But listen, if you can't make it
to my, like, my dumb ceremony

534
00:21:34,031 --> 00:21:35,903
'cause you're all wrapped
up in work, then it's

535
00:21:35,946 --> 00:21:37,948
totally fine
because...[laughing]

536
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:41,300
Hey, do you remember the
last time you got an award

537
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:43,606
at school? Because I do.

538
00:21:43,650 --> 00:21:46,000
Third grade, perfect attendance.

539
00:21:46,043 --> 00:21:48,307
[chuckles] And I
didn't miss that one.

540
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,309
Would've been too
ironic, for starters.

541
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:53,616
And nothing is going
to make me miss

542
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:55,966
seeing my National Merit Scholar

543
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:59,056
get his... medal? Certificate?

544
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:00,580
Possibly both.

545
00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:03,278
Well, whatever it is, the point
is, she's gonna be there.

546
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:06,194
Cheering from the crowd loudly.
[whistling]

547
00:22:06,237 --> 00:22:08,152
Oh, God. I so regret excelling.
Whoo!

548
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:11,112
[both laughing]Aw.

549
00:22:13,506 --> 00:22:15,377
Mr. President. Bess.

550
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:17,771
The work you and your people
did to secure Phase One

551
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:20,774
was laudable and crucial to
global security, but if Morejon

552
00:22:20,817 --> 00:22:22,689
gets the votes to
kill Phase Two,

553
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:25,169
he will put in language that
undoes the nuclear safeguards

554
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:26,954
guaranteed in Phase One.

555
00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:29,130
That puts millions
of lives at risk.

556
00:22:29,173 --> 00:22:30,218
I won't do it.

557
00:22:30,261 --> 00:22:31,541
We're pushing the
Phase Two talks

558
00:22:31,565 --> 00:22:34,135
until after the midterms.

559
00:22:34,178 --> 00:22:38,008
Sir, this opportunity to cut
a meaningful security deal

560
00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:40,054
with Iran won't come again.

561
00:22:40,097 --> 00:22:42,970
Which means that
sooner or later,

562
00:22:43,013 --> 00:22:44,798
we will be sucked into

563
00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:48,715
a Sunni-Shia war that will
engulf the entire Middle East.

564
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:51,413
Either we make the deal
now, or no deal gets made.

565
00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:52,849
Then no deal gets made.

566
00:22:52,893 --> 00:22:55,722
It pains me, too, Bess.

567
00:22:55,765 --> 00:22:57,898
But we have to look at
the bigger picture.

568
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,470
Understood, sir. Thank you.

569
00:23:11,172 --> 00:23:13,740
I hear you're something
of a bowman, General.

570
00:23:13,783 --> 00:23:15,829
You know, I've been
shooting Hoyt for years.

571
00:23:15,872 --> 00:23:18,614
Good weight, fast, and
almost no hand shock.

572
00:23:18,658 --> 00:23:21,530
Uh, the string angle on my
old Bear suits me better.

573
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:23,184
Let me know when you're free.

574
00:23:23,227 --> 00:23:26,361
An old friend has a lease
out near Rockingham.

575
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:28,407
Thanks to you and the
committee for your time, sir.

576
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:30,626
It was our pleasure.
We'll be ready for you

577
00:23:30,670 --> 00:23:32,062
in just a moment, Henry.

578
00:23:32,106 --> 00:23:34,978
Thank you, General.

579
00:23:35,022 --> 00:23:37,590
You think I'm laying it on
a little heavy, don't you?

580
00:23:37,633 --> 00:23:40,114
Well, there's nothing wrong
with shared interests.

581
00:23:40,157 --> 00:23:41,317
An instructor back in Hamburg

582
00:23:41,341 --> 00:23:43,465
had a favorite Grant quote:

583
00:23:43,509 --> 00:23:45,946
"He who continues
the attack, wins."

584
00:23:45,989 --> 00:23:47,513
You took the field
officer course

585
00:23:47,556 --> 00:23:49,340
at the German Military Academy?

586
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:51,952
Class of '93.

587
00:23:51,995 --> 00:23:54,520
Yeah, uh, made some buddies
over at Hahn Air Base.

588
00:23:54,563 --> 00:23:57,174
Oh, man. [Chuckles] We
used to have some times.

589
00:23:57,218 --> 00:24:00,656
Uh, how about that?
Good for you.

590
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,353
WINFIELD: Professor McCord.

591
00:24:02,397 --> 00:24:03,397
Come on in.

592
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,283
Oh, you got to be kidding.

593
00:24:19,327 --> 00:24:20,241
What's wrong?

594
00:24:20,284 --> 00:24:22,243
The...

595
00:24:22,286 --> 00:24:23,287
Oh.

596
00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:24,724
Ma'am, if you'll
wait here a moment

597
00:24:24,767 --> 00:24:25,927
while we secure the entrance?

598
00:24:25,951 --> 00:24:28,597
No. No.

599
00:24:28,641 --> 00:24:30,251
No more dodging.

600
00:24:30,294 --> 00:24:32,253
Babe. It's okay. I'll be fine.

601
00:24:32,296 --> 00:24:34,037
I'll meet you in there, okay?

602
00:24:34,081 --> 00:24:36,257
It's time to tackle
this head-on,

603
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:39,826
metaphorically speaking, Matt.
Okay?

604
00:24:45,266 --> 00:24:47,268
No need to attack me. I'm
an officer of the court.

605
00:24:47,311 --> 00:24:51,054
No, no, I... Look, I-I want
to apologize for yesterday,

606
00:24:51,098 --> 00:24:53,056
and I hope you're not
in too much pain.

607
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:55,276
Eh, this is nothing.

608
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:57,887
One time, a meth dealer ran
over me with his Camaro.

609
00:24:57,931 --> 00:24:59,889
Oh, my God, that's awful.

610
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:01,848
Besides, I should
be thanking you.

611
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:04,938
[scoffs] I'm confused.

612
00:25:04,981 --> 00:25:07,984
I linked the video of
your people tackling me

613
00:25:08,028 --> 00:25:10,334
to the website for my
legal services company.

614
00:25:10,378 --> 00:25:11,988
My business doubled overnight.

615
00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:15,514
Oh... Well, good for you.
That's...

616
00:25:15,557 --> 00:25:16,906
I'm Elizabeth.

617
00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:20,214
Joel. [Chuckles] Joel.

618
00:25:20,257 --> 00:25:22,433
So should we do this thing?

619
00:25:22,477 --> 00:25:24,348
Oh, yeah, right. [chuckles]

620
00:25:24,392 --> 00:25:26,220
Elizabeth McCord, you
have been served.

621
00:25:26,263 --> 00:25:28,309
Thanks, Joel.

622
00:25:28,352 --> 00:25:30,572
You have a good one.

623
00:25:30,616 --> 00:25:33,488
ELIZABETH: Just want you
to know that your mom

624
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:35,185
is very proud of you.

625
00:25:35,229 --> 00:25:37,231
Yeah, I think the whole
auditorium knew that.

626
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:41,365
Alison, how's the stu...
uh, Mike?

627
00:25:41,409 --> 00:25:43,324
How did you, uh...

628
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:45,527
The middle one let me in. Damn it.
I pressed the thing.

629
00:25:45,551 --> 00:25:48,379
Mike B. Is here.
Congratulations on your award.

630
00:25:50,331 --> 00:25:52,420
So nice of you to stop by.

631
00:25:52,463 --> 00:25:53,769
Again.

632
00:25:53,813 --> 00:25:55,989
Hey, Mike. Guess this isn't
a social visit again.

633
00:25:56,032 --> 00:25:58,295
Can we talk in there?

634
00:25:58,339 --> 00:25:59,340
Yeah.

635
00:26:00,646 --> 00:26:03,910
I know. I know. I let
myself get served. Sorry.

636
00:26:03,953 --> 00:26:06,477
Yesterday's news.

637
00:26:06,521 --> 00:26:07,561
I found out who's covering

638
00:26:07,585 --> 00:26:09,089
the Dawsons'
considerable legal fees.

639
00:26:09,132 --> 00:26:10,481
Yeah? Who is it?

640
00:26:10,525 --> 00:26:12,048
You're not gonna
like the answer.

641
00:26:12,092 --> 00:26:14,573
I traced the money through a
series of offshore companies

642
00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:16,705
and subcontractors, all the
way back to its source,

643
00:26:16,749 --> 00:26:18,620
and arrived at a trust

644
00:26:18,664 --> 00:26:21,492
controlled by a
powerful Saudi family

645
00:26:21,536 --> 00:26:23,451
with close ties to
the government.

646
00:26:23,494 --> 00:26:24,626
You're kidding.

647
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,193
I told you you wouldn't like it.

648
00:26:26,236 --> 00:26:28,935
Do you have hard proof
it was the Saudis?

649
00:26:28,978 --> 00:26:31,459
Not like a sworn affidavit,
but give me time.

650
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:37,857
A purported ally sabotaging the
American Secretary of State.

651
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:39,902
It's... unbelievable.

652
00:26:39,946 --> 00:26:43,297
What's a little backstabbing
among friends, right?

653
00:26:46,474 --> 00:26:48,041
Let me call you back.

654
00:26:48,084 --> 00:26:51,348
[scoffs] Madam Secretary,
what a pleasant surprise.

655
00:26:51,392 --> 00:26:54,743
You're being played
by the Saudis.

656
00:26:54,787 --> 00:26:55,875
Excuse me?

657
00:26:55,918 --> 00:26:59,356
Someone very powerful
in Saudi Arabia

658
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,924
is paying the law firm

659
00:27:01,968 --> 00:27:04,013
representing the Dawsons.
That's ridiculous.

660
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:07,974
It is. It also
happens to be true.

661
00:27:08,017 --> 00:27:10,846
They're trying to
derail the Iran talks,

662
00:27:10,890 --> 00:27:12,979
and they are using you

663
00:27:13,022 --> 00:27:16,635
and our legislative process to
do the dirty work for them.

664
00:27:20,073 --> 00:27:23,903
But you already knew that,
Senator, didn't you?

665
00:27:23,946 --> 00:27:25,382
Well, you know the old proverb:

666
00:27:25,426 --> 00:27:29,125
"The enemy of my
enemy is my friend."

667
00:27:29,169 --> 00:27:30,779
Well, that's interesting
that you think

668
00:27:30,823 --> 00:27:33,564
of the Secretary of
State as your enemy.

669
00:27:33,608 --> 00:27:35,610
More interesting still
that you assumed

670
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:37,699
I meant you and not Iran.

671
00:27:37,743 --> 00:27:41,616
You stood in my house
and talked about

672
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:45,446
preserving American
sovereignty and safety.

673
00:27:45,489 --> 00:27:47,056
What happened to that guy?

674
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,711
Don't you lecture me
about patriotism.

675
00:27:49,755 --> 00:27:53,280
Oh.Saudi Arabia may not be
perfect, but they're our ally.

676
00:27:53,323 --> 00:27:57,632
I know exactly what I'm fighting
for, Madam Secretary. Do you?

677
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:02,463
And who I'm fighting against.
See you around, Carlos.

678
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:12,299
That Morejon.

679
00:28:12,342 --> 00:28:15,171
Every time I think that
guy might be all right,

680
00:28:15,215 --> 00:28:17,913
he pulls some opportunistic,

681
00:28:17,957 --> 00:28:20,002
weaselly maneuver.

682
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:24,441
It's like: Patriot,
weasel, patriot, weasel.

683
00:28:24,485 --> 00:28:27,401
No, I think it's more like:
Weasel, weasel, briefly patriot,

684
00:28:27,444 --> 00:28:28,968
weasel, weasel, weasel, weasel.
[laughs]

685
00:28:29,011 --> 00:28:30,752
You're probably right.

686
00:28:30,796 --> 00:28:35,017
Anyway, you never told me the
details on your presentation.

687
00:28:35,061 --> 00:28:36,627
How'd it go?

688
00:28:36,671 --> 00:28:40,283
Well, like I said, it was okay.
It's Lyle that's the problem.

689
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:42,024
What do you mean? [sighs]

690
00:28:42,068 --> 00:28:43,852
Well, there's this
officer training course

691
00:28:43,896 --> 00:28:45,376
that's offered by the
German military.

692
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,073
It's very prestigious.

693
00:28:47,116 --> 00:28:48,814
Lyle said he took it in 1993

694
00:28:48,857 --> 00:28:50,990
and hung out with some
officers at Hahn Air Base

695
00:28:51,033 --> 00:28:52,295
during that time.

696
00:28:52,339 --> 00:28:54,994
It was an oddly specific detail.

697
00:28:55,037 --> 00:28:58,084
I-It bumped me, the
way he said it.

698
00:28:58,127 --> 00:28:59,781
So I did a little digging.

699
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:02,479
Turns out there's
no record of Lyle

700
00:29:02,523 --> 00:29:05,265
graduating and finishing his
coursework at the academy.

701
00:29:05,308 --> 00:29:09,704
A-And yet he puts it
on his official CV.

702
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,968
Wow. Yeah.

703
00:29:13,012 --> 00:29:14,230
Wow.

704
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,018
So are you gonna turn him in?

705
00:29:19,061 --> 00:29:21,368
[sighs] I don't know.

706
00:29:21,411 --> 00:29:24,806
Exposing him is not
a small thing.

707
00:29:24,850 --> 00:29:28,592
But integrity's kind
of the point, right?

708
00:29:28,636 --> 00:29:31,900
Yeah, but from the start,
I've had it in for the guy.

709
00:29:31,944 --> 00:29:33,249
[stammers]

710
00:29:33,293 --> 00:29:36,600
There's something about
him that just bothers me.

711
00:29:36,644 --> 00:29:40,213
Yeah, I feel that way about,
like, everyone right now.

712
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:43,085
[chuckles] Except you.

713
00:29:43,129 --> 00:29:45,218
Listen, I got to, I
got to get back,

714
00:29:45,261 --> 00:29:48,743
but you just...

715
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:50,745
do what you think is right.

716
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,791
Okay.

717
00:29:56,272 --> 00:29:57,752
Right.

718
00:30:00,537 --> 00:30:02,104
MIKE: Were you aware
that Hezbollah

719
00:30:02,148 --> 00:30:04,237
was laundering money to avoid U.S.
sanctions?

720
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,282
In accordance with my position

721
00:30:06,326 --> 00:30:09,111
as an executive officer
of the United States,

722
00:30:09,155 --> 00:30:11,331
I invoke executive privilege

723
00:30:11,374 --> 00:30:13,768
and refrain from
answering any questions

724
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,118
that pertain to my
official duties as such.

725
00:30:16,162 --> 00:30:18,251
Were you aware that the
release of money frozen

726
00:30:18,294 --> 00:30:19,818
as a part of the
sanctions against Iran

727
00:30:19,861 --> 00:30:21,863
could be directed to
known terrorist groups?

728
00:30:21,907 --> 00:30:24,910
In accordance with my position

729
00:30:24,953 --> 00:30:27,869
as an executive officer
of the United States,

730
00:30:27,913 --> 00:30:31,264
I invoke executive pr...

731
00:30:31,307 --> 00:30:33,875
It's a rote answer. I got it.

732
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:35,442
Do we really need
to keep doing this?

733
00:30:35,485 --> 00:30:37,085
After the fiasco with
the process server?

734
00:30:37,129 --> 00:30:38,529
Yes, you definitely
need to practice

735
00:30:38,553 --> 00:30:40,273
staying on script.

736
00:30:40,316 --> 00:30:41,796
Fine, go ahead.

737
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,059
Okay. Did you... You
know what I can't stand?

738
00:30:44,103 --> 00:30:45,626
Betrayal by an ally.

739
00:30:45,669 --> 00:30:47,323
The capriciousness
of our legal system.

740
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:49,047
People with pet ferrets.
It doesn't matter.

741
00:30:49,071 --> 00:30:50,196
This is where we are.

742
00:30:50,239 --> 00:30:53,286
Jim Dawson's family
lost their only son.

743
00:30:53,329 --> 00:30:56,419
And they have no idea
what really happened.

744
00:30:58,465 --> 00:31:02,077
You're right, and that's sad.

745
00:31:02,121 --> 00:31:04,819
But it's not our problem.
Let's get back to work, okay?

746
00:31:04,863 --> 00:31:07,691
But, see, it is my problem.

747
00:31:07,735 --> 00:31:10,869
The deal is dead.

748
00:31:10,912 --> 00:31:14,829
This lawsuit is whatever it is.

749
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,223
But that family doesn't
deserve to be...

750
00:31:17,266 --> 00:31:19,225
manipulated by people

751
00:31:19,268 --> 00:31:20,922
hiding in the shadows.

752
00:31:20,966 --> 00:31:22,881
They are not going to
get their son back,

753
00:31:22,924 --> 00:31:24,447
but they deserve some peace.

754
00:31:24,491 --> 00:31:27,407
They deserve the truth.
I owe them that.

755
00:31:30,236 --> 00:31:31,236
Feel better?

756
00:31:32,586 --> 00:31:33,848
Yeah.

757
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,652
Good, 'cause you're never
saying any of that.

758
00:31:35,676 --> 00:31:38,809
Actually, I think I am.

759
00:31:40,333 --> 00:31:43,249
I'm still billing
you for this.Yep.

760
00:31:51,213 --> 00:31:52,519
[doorbell rings]

761
00:31:53,607 --> 00:31:57,045
Mr. Dawson. Elizabeth McCord.

762
00:31:57,089 --> 00:32:00,570
I-I apologize for showing
up at your door like this,

763
00:32:00,614 --> 00:32:03,269
but I have some information
about your son.

764
00:32:03,312 --> 00:32:05,227
I think we ought to
call our lawyer.

765
00:32:05,271 --> 00:32:07,577
KAREN: Who is it, Bob?

766
00:32:07,621 --> 00:32:11,146
ELIZABETH: Hello, Mrs.
Dawson. Grace.

767
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:14,976
She says she's got
information about Jim.

768
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,412
Can I...

769
00:32:16,456 --> 00:32:18,023
Please.

770
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:19,850
Come in, Madam Secretary.

771
00:32:26,205 --> 00:32:28,294
ELIZABETH: This
doesn't happen often,

772
00:32:28,337 --> 00:32:31,471
but the president has
approved the release

773
00:32:31,514 --> 00:32:33,429
of certain classified
information

774
00:32:33,473 --> 00:32:36,171
about your son's death.

775
00:32:36,215 --> 00:32:38,173
I don't understand.

776
00:32:38,217 --> 00:32:40,915
Jim helped companies
with their computers.

777
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:43,178
Mrs. Dawson,

778
00:32:43,222 --> 00:32:46,355
Jim was a decorated
operative for the CIA

779
00:32:46,399 --> 00:32:50,403
working on extremely sensitive
national security issues.

780
00:32:50,446 --> 00:32:53,972
He never said anything
about any of this.

781
00:32:57,236 --> 00:33:00,239
ELIZABETH: I know it's
a lot to take in.

782
00:33:00,282 --> 00:33:05,461
He had to hide that side
of his life to protect you

783
00:33:05,505 --> 00:33:07,289
and families like yours.

784
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:14,601
Jim was a hero who died in
service to this country.

785
00:33:14,644 --> 00:33:18,344
I know it doesn't
bring your son back.

786
00:33:22,696 --> 00:33:24,263
You want us to drop the lawsuit.

787
00:33:24,306 --> 00:33:26,178
Don't you? Sweetheart.

788
00:33:26,221 --> 00:33:29,050
No. No, honey, no.
She's using us.

789
00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:31,226
Can't you see that? You
politicians are all the same.

790
00:33:31,270 --> 00:33:33,837
You only pretend you care when
there's something you need.

791
00:33:33,881 --> 00:33:37,102
Mr. Dawson, I agree with you.

792
00:33:38,451 --> 00:33:40,366
Politics can be an ugly business

793
00:33:40,409 --> 00:33:45,371
and if you want to sue me,
absolutely, that is your right.

794
00:33:45,414 --> 00:33:48,200
It's true.

795
00:33:48,243 --> 00:33:51,377
I shake a lot of hands
I'd rather not shake.

796
00:33:53,422 --> 00:33:58,471
But the unique
privilege of my job...

797
00:33:58,514 --> 00:34:00,473
is that I get to
see the difference

798
00:34:00,516 --> 00:34:01,909
that people like your son

799
00:34:01,952 --> 00:34:03,954
make in the world.

800
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:13,573
On behalf of a grateful nation,

801
00:34:13,616 --> 00:34:15,792
I want to thank you
for Jim's service

802
00:34:15,836 --> 00:34:17,838
and offer my deepest
condolences.

803
00:34:17,881 --> 00:34:20,319
I appreciate your time.

804
00:34:22,321 --> 00:34:27,021
Thank you for telling
us about our Jim.

805
00:34:35,986 --> 00:34:37,336
How'd you do it?

806
00:34:37,379 --> 00:34:40,121
Do you want to just
get it over with

807
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:42,819
and move into our garage?

808
00:34:42,863 --> 00:34:44,995
When did you start
running voluntarily?

809
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:46,606
Today.

810
00:34:46,649 --> 00:34:48,009
As you know, I've
always maintained

811
00:34:48,052 --> 00:34:49,532
that exercise is
stupid and painful,

812
00:34:49,576 --> 00:34:51,001
but clearly I know nothing

813
00:34:51,045 --> 00:34:53,569
because the Dawsons are
dropping the suit.

814
00:34:53,613 --> 00:34:55,267
So again, how did you do it?

815
00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:57,443
That's not what I
went over there for,

816
00:34:57,486 --> 00:34:58,922
but that's good news, I suppose.

817
00:34:58,966 --> 00:35:00,533
You suppose?

818
00:35:00,576 --> 00:35:02,056
It's unequivocally good news.

819
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,580
In fact, they're releasing
a statement thanking you

820
00:35:04,624 --> 00:35:05,973
for whatever it is you did.

821
00:35:06,016 --> 00:35:08,018
The word on the Hill is
Morejon is still trying

822
00:35:08,062 --> 00:35:09,782
to cobble together votes,
which he won't get

823
00:35:09,806 --> 00:35:11,718
once it leaks that the former

824
00:35:11,761 --> 00:35:14,112
Saudi deputy minister
of education is paying

825
00:35:14,155 --> 00:35:15,795
to manipulate a grieving,
American family.

826
00:35:15,819 --> 00:35:16,940
You found hard evidence?

827
00:35:16,984 --> 00:35:19,682
Sometimes it's like you
don't even realize

828
00:35:19,726 --> 00:35:20,683
you're insulting me.

829
00:35:20,727 --> 00:35:22,337
[sighs]

830
00:35:22,381 --> 00:35:23,904
Anyway, the point is,

831
00:35:23,947 --> 00:35:26,298
you can now restart your
little peace talks.

832
00:35:26,341 --> 00:35:27,603
You're welcome.

833
00:35:27,647 --> 00:35:30,824
About that, um, is there
a friend rate or...?

834
00:35:30,867 --> 00:35:33,174
[laughs] There is not.

835
00:35:33,218 --> 00:35:36,830
You, Elizabeth McCord, are
an exhausting client.

836
00:35:36,873 --> 00:35:39,180
Yeah.

837
00:35:39,224 --> 00:35:42,749
Going to see that family
was reckless and stupid.

838
00:35:45,752 --> 00:35:48,581
You know, you asked
me how I did it.

839
00:35:48,624 --> 00:35:51,845
I wasn't trying to do anything,

840
00:35:51,888 --> 00:35:54,108
just what I thought was right.

841
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:57,024
I already said. Stupid.

842
00:35:57,067 --> 00:35:59,069
Ugh.

843
00:36:02,769 --> 00:36:06,033
Hey. Out. Hmm? Oh, yeah.

844
00:36:12,996 --> 00:36:14,911
Lyle. Hey.

845
00:36:14,955 --> 00:36:16,435
We need to talk.

846
00:36:16,478 --> 00:36:17,827
In a bit of a hurry.

847
00:36:17,871 --> 00:36:19,829
General Winfield has
some pictures of antlers

848
00:36:19,873 --> 00:36:21,091
he wants to show me.

849
00:36:21,135 --> 00:36:22,415
Look, I know you didn't complete

850
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:25,835
the Military Academy of
the German Armed Forces.

851
00:36:25,879 --> 00:36:27,794
Their records show
that you enrolled,

852
00:36:27,837 --> 00:36:29,926
but you didn't complete
your coursework.

853
00:36:31,928 --> 00:36:35,671
And you're gonna do what
with this allegation?

854
00:36:35,715 --> 00:36:38,892
Have this conversation with you.

855
00:36:38,935 --> 00:36:43,157
So I'll just step aside
and you can get the job.

856
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:45,638
Is that it? Or you could
consider it an opportunity

857
00:36:45,681 --> 00:36:47,901
to correct your oversight.

858
00:36:47,944 --> 00:36:50,469
And no one has to know?

859
00:36:50,512 --> 00:36:51,948
Not if you resolve the issue.

860
00:36:51,992 --> 00:36:53,072
I don't see why they would.

861
00:36:55,082 --> 00:36:56,910
[sighs]

862
00:36:56,953 --> 00:36:58,825
One point.

863
00:37:01,567 --> 00:37:05,919
I failed my last
final by one point.

864
00:37:05,962 --> 00:37:07,834
I mean, there's a
retest the next week,

865
00:37:07,877 --> 00:37:11,490
but I'd already booked my
flight back to the States.

866
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:13,840
Then one day I looked up.

867
00:37:13,883 --> 00:37:18,279
It was five years later and
no one had even mentioned it.

868
00:37:18,323 --> 00:37:20,716
Oh, man.

869
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,196
That's tough.

870
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,285
I'm sure a lot of us
would probably have done

871
00:37:24,329 --> 00:37:27,462
the exact same thing.

872
00:37:27,506 --> 00:37:29,856
Why are you doing this?

873
00:37:29,899 --> 00:37:32,946
I got the distinct impression
you didn't like me.

874
00:37:32,989 --> 00:37:34,208
I don't.

875
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:36,123
Well, I didn't. [chuckles]

876
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:39,126
I can come on strong, I know.

877
00:37:39,169 --> 00:37:41,998
That crack about your wife...

878
00:37:42,042 --> 00:37:43,696
Was not great.

879
00:37:45,567 --> 00:37:48,527
But your book about
Sherman's March was.

880
00:37:48,570 --> 00:37:50,006
You didn't have
to do this, Lyle.

881
00:37:50,050 --> 00:37:51,094
You're the real deal.

882
00:37:51,138 --> 00:37:55,011
Even if not everything
on your CV was.

883
00:37:55,055 --> 00:37:58,014
That's very decent of you.

884
00:37:58,058 --> 00:38:02,410
Ethical, dare I say. Hmm.

885
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:06,284
Thank you, Henry.

886
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:11,114
Madam Secretary.

887
00:38:11,158 --> 00:38:14,248
I've heard a troubling rumor
about the late James Dawson,

888
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:16,119
specifically in regards

889
00:38:16,163 --> 00:38:18,283
to who he was really working
for while in the Kingdom.

890
00:38:18,307 --> 00:38:20,428
Prince Asim, thanks so
much for making the time.

891
00:38:20,472 --> 00:38:22,909
Sending unauthorized
spies into our country

892
00:38:22,952 --> 00:38:26,869
is yet another example of the U.S.
abusing a trusted ally.

893
00:38:26,913 --> 00:38:31,091
We both know that every
country does exactly that

894
00:38:31,134 --> 00:38:34,660
to every other country, so you
feigning outrage tells me

895
00:38:34,703 --> 00:38:37,663
you really must be
getting hounded at home

896
00:38:37,706 --> 00:38:40,056
about closing this
missile deal, huh?

897
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:43,364
So we're being brutally
honest with each other now?

898
00:38:43,408 --> 00:38:45,366
What are trusted
allies for, right?

899
00:38:45,410 --> 00:38:48,108
And in that spirit,

900
00:38:48,151 --> 00:38:52,112
we know that someone closely
connected with your government

901
00:38:52,155 --> 00:38:56,725
has been funding the
Dawsons' lawsuit against me.

902
00:38:58,771 --> 00:39:01,251
Madam Secretary,
you misunderstand.

903
00:39:01,295 --> 00:39:03,297
His Highness remains
cognizant of the need

904
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,081
for our continued cooperation.

905
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:08,781
You mean you still want our
precision-guided weapons.

906
00:39:08,824 --> 00:39:10,739
Yeah, don't worry.
You-you'll get them...

907
00:39:10,783 --> 00:39:12,915
as soon as your
government brokers

908
00:39:12,959 --> 00:39:14,613
an immediate
cease-fire in Yemen.

909
00:39:16,441 --> 00:39:18,007
You must know that
such a message

910
00:39:18,051 --> 00:39:20,967
will cause great consternation
to His Majesty.

911
00:39:21,010 --> 00:39:23,448
Hmm. And therefore, even
more to the messenger.

912
00:39:23,491 --> 00:39:26,799
I'm putting you in a rough spot.

913
00:39:26,842 --> 00:39:29,105
I know.

914
00:39:29,149 --> 00:39:31,586
But, truth be told,

915
00:39:31,630 --> 00:39:35,416
I haven't really been in a great
spot, either, the last few days,

916
00:39:35,460 --> 00:39:37,984
so cease-fire for missiles.

917
00:39:38,027 --> 00:39:39,855
That's the deal.

918
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:46,427
I will take up your
proposal with the king.

919
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:48,821
And I look forward to the
announcement of the cease-fire.

920
00:39:48,864 --> 00:39:50,388
Thanks so much. You
have a great day.

921
00:39:55,784 --> 00:39:59,135
Welcome to the first meeting of
the Military Ethics Department.

922
00:40:01,137 --> 00:40:04,445
Okay, well, obviously, we're
just getting up and running,

923
00:40:04,489 --> 00:40:07,622
so I wanted to open the floor
and get a sense of your hopes

924
00:40:07,666 --> 00:40:08,928
for the new department.

925
00:40:08,971 --> 00:40:10,582
Well, first of all,
congratulations.

926
00:40:10,625 --> 00:40:12,148
So well deserved.

927
00:40:12,192 --> 00:40:14,847
If I could just raise a
small housekeeping issue?

928
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:16,152
Sure. Absolutely.

929
00:40:16,196 --> 00:40:19,373
I understand Lyle Belkin
has taken a sabbatical.

930
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,854
I'm assuming that means
his parking space

931
00:40:21,897 --> 00:40:23,464
will be available.

932
00:40:23,508 --> 00:40:25,118
His parking space?

933
00:40:25,161 --> 00:40:26,989
FACULTY MEMBER: Um,
point of order.

934
00:40:27,033 --> 00:40:29,078
I made a request to
Facilities months ago

935
00:40:29,122 --> 00:40:31,037
for a closer spot, so...

936
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,865
O-Okay. Okay.

937
00:40:32,908 --> 00:40:34,588
[stammers] Well, I was
hoping to talk about

938
00:40:34,612 --> 00:40:36,477
some bigger-picture
issues this morning.

939
00:40:36,521 --> 00:40:39,045
Of course. Of course.

940
00:40:39,088 --> 00:40:41,613
So you'll be taking
it yourself then?

941
00:40:41,656 --> 00:40:43,484
FACULTY MEMBER: To the
victor go the spoils.

942
00:40:43,528 --> 00:40:45,617
All hail Henricus Rex.

943
00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:47,445
No. [Stammers]

944
00:40:47,488 --> 00:40:48,750
Okay, can we circle back

945
00:40:48,794 --> 00:40:50,970
to the parking
space issue later?

946
00:40:51,013 --> 00:40:53,102
Yeah? Okay.

947
00:40:53,146 --> 00:40:54,546
ESFAHANI: "Iran
commits to financial

948
00:40:54,570 --> 00:40:56,497
"transparency and
accountability,

949
00:40:56,541 --> 00:40:58,934
"greater monitoring
and transparency

950
00:40:58,978 --> 00:41:02,155
of Iranian weapon transfers
to non-State actors."

951
00:41:02,198 --> 00:41:07,421
And to insure this, Iran
will accept an inspection

952
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:10,380
and verification regime.

953
00:41:10,424 --> 00:41:12,470
Is that acceptable?

954
00:41:12,513 --> 00:41:15,037
It is debatable.

955
00:41:15,081 --> 00:41:17,039
It's a start.

956
00:41:17,083 --> 00:41:19,520
Okay.

957
00:41:19,564 --> 00:41:23,089
In the spirit of cooperation,

958
00:41:23,132 --> 00:41:24,525
the IRGC has information

959
00:41:24,569 --> 00:41:27,093
on the whereabouts of
one of your citizens

960
00:41:27,136 --> 00:41:29,095
that it would like to share.

961
00:41:34,317 --> 00:41:35,797
Amina Shaloubi

962
00:41:35,841 --> 00:41:37,601
of the Washington Chronicle?
She was abducted

963
00:41:37,625 --> 00:41:39,148
by Boko Haram over a year ago.

964
00:41:39,192 --> 00:41:43,022
Your intelligence services
will find the information

965
00:41:43,065 --> 00:41:46,591
regarding Ms. Shaloubi's
location reliable.

966
00:41:49,115 --> 00:41:51,204
The United States appreciates
Iran's assistance

967
00:41:51,247 --> 00:41:54,076
in this matter.

968
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,080
[exhales loudly] Gentlemen,
I'm glad you're back.

969
00:41:58,124 --> 00:42:00,953
All right, shall we?
