1
00:00:08,138 --> 00:00:11,315
CONTROLLER: Contact
Potomac Approach on 335.5.

2
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:13,752
Roger.
Descend and maintain 10,000,

3
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:16,103
heading 2-7-0.

4
00:00:16,146 --> 00:00:20,455
Pushing approach 335.5.

5
00:00:20,498 --> 00:00:24,459
All right, Henry,
you have the aircraft.

6
00:00:24,502 --> 00:00:26,983
Roger that. I have the aircraft.

7
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,159
You want to try a break
turn to the right?

8
00:00:29,203 --> 00:00:30,856
Roger that.

9
00:00:37,124 --> 00:00:39,517
Great flying with you, Squatch.
You, too, Henry.

10
00:00:39,561 --> 00:00:41,606
Hey, what was your call
sign back in the day?

11
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,652
[chuckles] "Prophet,"
which sounds kind of cool,

12
00:00:43,695 --> 00:00:46,133
but it was not given for cool
reasons, believe me.

13
00:00:46,176 --> 00:00:47,830
Yeah, they never are.

14
00:00:47,873 --> 00:00:50,398
Hairy feet, hence "Squatch."

15
00:00:50,441 --> 00:00:52,419
But hey, anything beats
"Friggin' New Guy," right? Right.

16
00:00:52,443 --> 00:00:53,792
Hey, Congressman.

17
00:00:53,836 --> 00:00:55,403
Welcome back.Thanks.

18
00:00:55,446 --> 00:00:57,405
CHAMPLIN: My friends,
this is an exciting time.

19
00:00:57,448 --> 00:00:59,407
The prototype F-40 fighter,

20
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:02,105
which some of you folks
have been lucky enough

21
00:01:02,149 --> 00:01:03,846
to take a ride in today

22
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:07,154
is the future of our
nation's air defense.

23
00:01:07,197 --> 00:01:10,331
And thanks to the extraordinary
capabilities of the F-40,

24
00:01:10,374 --> 00:01:13,464
that future looks bright indeed.

25
00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:15,510
Thank you so much for coming.

26
00:01:15,553 --> 00:01:18,165
Now let's enjoy ourselves.

27
00:01:21,820 --> 00:01:23,648
You miss it, right?

28
00:01:23,692 --> 00:01:26,303
Oh, brother,
more than I want to admit.

29
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:29,437
[chuckles] I can't
wait to get up there.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,656
Hey, how's the plane?

31
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,224
Uh, you'll see.

32
00:01:34,268 --> 00:01:37,053
I mean,
some stuff is incredible.

33
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:41,231
But, uh, in terms of actual
speed and maneuverability,

34
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:43,886
eh, it's kind of a brick.

35
00:01:46,454 --> 00:01:49,370
Some part of that brick is being
manufactured in every district

36
00:01:49,413 --> 00:01:52,373
of every politician in this
place, including mine.

37
00:01:52,416 --> 00:01:56,594
So if he comes over here,
do a Marine brother a favor

38
00:01:56,638 --> 00:01:59,510
and smile, would you?

39
00:01:59,554 --> 00:02:02,165
Sure, Jeff.

40
00:02:02,209 --> 00:02:03,558
DALTON: Bess.

41
00:02:03,601 --> 00:02:07,388
We're, uh,
having an issue with the F-40,

42
00:02:07,431 --> 00:02:09,781
and we could use your help.

43
00:02:09,825 --> 00:02:12,001
Well, I hope it isn't
too big of an issue,

44
00:02:12,044 --> 00:02:14,699
because Henry's flying
in one as we speak.

45
00:02:14,743 --> 00:02:15,874
BECKER: Nothing like that.

46
00:02:15,918 --> 00:02:17,485
The F-40's an excellent plane.

47
00:02:17,528 --> 00:02:19,139
[chuckles]: Oh, good.
As you know,

48
00:02:19,182 --> 00:02:23,143
ten years ago,
DOD placed an initial order of 80 F-40s

49
00:02:23,186 --> 00:02:25,145
from their manufacturer
Fossor Industries.

50
00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:32,543
We just received Fossor's
latest budget estimate.

51
00:02:32,587 --> 00:02:35,111
In order to manufacture
the 80 planes and make it

52
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:38,375
economically feasible during
the agreed-upon timeline,

53
00:02:38,419 --> 00:02:40,595
Fossor needs to make
an even hundred.

54
00:02:40,638 --> 00:02:44,164
And, uh,
how much do the extra 20 cost?

55
00:02:44,207 --> 00:02:45,687
$3.6 billion.

56
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:48,690
Wow.

57
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:51,562
We're really gonna
let them shake down

58
00:02:51,606 --> 00:02:52,955
the federal
government like that?

59
00:02:52,998 --> 00:02:54,913
No, I wouldn't call
it a shakedown.

60
00:02:54,957 --> 00:02:56,567
These types of cost overruns

61
00:02:56,611 --> 00:02:58,482
are a feature of
defense contracting.

62
00:02:58,526 --> 00:02:59,894
RUSSELL: Plus,
the different components

63
00:02:59,918 --> 00:03:02,182
of the F-40 are assembled in 40%

64
00:03:02,225 --> 00:03:05,272
of all congressional
districts nationwide.

65
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:06,882
Which partly explains
the cost overruns,

66
00:03:06,925 --> 00:03:12,104
because logistically,
that makes absolutely no sense.

67
00:03:12,148 --> 00:03:14,498
But politically,
it makes all kinds of sense.

68
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:16,718
They are the largest
defense contractor

69
00:03:16,761 --> 00:03:19,851
in the world,
so to answer your question,

70
00:03:19,895 --> 00:03:23,725
yes, we really are going to let
them shake us down like that.

71
00:03:23,768 --> 00:03:25,988
I-I wouldn't call it a
shakedown, sir.

72
00:03:26,031 --> 00:03:28,338
Where do I come in?

73
00:03:28,382 --> 00:03:30,186
RUSSELL: We need to find a
home for those extra 20 jets,

74
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:33,300
somewhere among our
friends and allies.

75
00:03:33,343 --> 00:03:34,997
And we need to do it fast.

76
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,260
BECKER: You are no doubt
aware of our pending sale

77
00:03:37,304 --> 00:03:40,132
of military equipment to Taiwan.

78
00:03:40,176 --> 00:03:42,309
We were thinking of adding
the F-40s to that package.

79
00:03:42,352 --> 00:03:44,702
DALTON: We need State to
perform an expedited review

80
00:03:44,746 --> 00:03:46,138
of the proposed sale.

81
00:03:46,182 --> 00:03:48,271
We need you to convince
Taiwan that buying the jets

82
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:50,273
would be in their
strategic interest.

83
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:52,928
All due respect, sir,

84
00:03:52,971 --> 00:03:58,325
it isn't in their strategic
interest, or ours.

85
00:03:58,368 --> 00:04:01,850
China's already angry about
the existing arms sale.

86
00:04:01,893 --> 00:04:04,374
It's pro forma posturing.
It happens every time.

87
00:04:04,418 --> 00:04:07,595
Sure, but you tack on
20 next-gen fighter jets

88
00:04:07,638 --> 00:04:09,249
that can reach
Beijing in an hour?

89
00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:11,207
Oh,
closer to an hour and a half.

90
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,209
What, I...
The F-40's a little logy.

91
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:14,732
It's an excellent
plane, Russell.

92
00:04:14,776 --> 00:04:18,693
Regardless, China will see
this as a major provocation.

93
00:04:18,736 --> 00:04:21,261
Not only could they
respond militarily,

94
00:04:21,304 --> 00:04:23,437
but they could also pull out

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,308
of the Fair Work
and Trade Agreement,

96
00:04:25,352 --> 00:04:27,397
which we are this
close to signing,

97
00:04:27,441 --> 00:04:31,009
and which will protect the
health and safety of literally

98
00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:32,881
millions of workers
around the world.

99
00:04:32,924 --> 00:04:36,276
The F-40 is the lynchpin of our
entire airborne military posture

100
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:40,236
for decades to come,
so it has to come first.

101
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,760
I understand, sir.

102
00:04:44,806 --> 00:04:46,198
I'll have my department

103
00:04:46,242 --> 00:04:49,376
do a top secret
feasibility review ASAP.

104
00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:54,250
But... of course,
I-I can't guarantee a specific outcome.

105
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,252
We hear you, Bess.
Totally get it.

106
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:58,646
Huh.

107
00:04:58,689 --> 00:05:00,430
That'll be all.

108
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,129
Mr. President.

109
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:12,224
Matt.

110
00:05:12,268 --> 00:05:14,314
Whoa... what? What?

111
00:05:14,357 --> 00:05:16,316
Here. Okay.

112
00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:20,232
Waffles. Oh, buddy.

113
00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:23,148
You're in a little Waffles cone.

114
00:05:23,192 --> 00:05:24,367
It's not funny.

115
00:05:24,411 --> 00:05:26,413
Oh, it is a little funny.
Not to me.

116
00:05:26,456 --> 00:05:27,955
Because I had to take
him to the 24-hour vet

117
00:05:27,979 --> 00:05:29,633
at 5:30 in the morning.

118
00:05:29,677 --> 00:05:32,332
Joanna threw a toy from her high
chair and scratched his cornea.

119
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:34,290
What? So for the next
three days at work,

120
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:39,339
you need to give him these
drops every three hours,

121
00:05:39,382 --> 00:05:42,385
Uh-huh.
This pain pill every four hours,

122
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:46,215
Uh-huh. And this antibiotic
every six hours, with food.

123
00:05:46,258 --> 00:05:48,260
Got it? Great. Wait.

124
00:05:48,304 --> 00:05:49,871
[stammers] Why me?

125
00:05:49,914 --> 00:05:52,352
Because you know my mom
only does babysitting,

126
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:54,354
not doggie daycare,
but the dog walker

127
00:05:54,397 --> 00:05:56,244
won't give him the medication
for insurance reasons,

128
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:57,811
so that means that I
have to bring him here.

129
00:05:57,835 --> 00:05:59,378
But I am neck-deep in
messaging on the Fair Work

130
00:05:59,402 --> 00:06:01,143
and Trade Agreement
and I need to focus.

131
00:06:01,186 --> 00:06:02,773
Oh, yeah,
and because when I adopted Waffles,

132
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:04,581
you said you'd help.

133
00:06:04,625 --> 00:06:07,454
Hey, I do help. I play ball with
him in the park. That's not help,

134
00:06:07,497 --> 00:06:09,151
that's fun. This is help.
So, help.

135
00:06:09,194 --> 00:06:12,807
Okay, okay. I'm on it. Geez.

136
00:06:12,850 --> 00:06:15,636
Oh, Mommy got all upset, didn't she?
Yes, she did.

137
00:06:15,679 --> 00:06:18,943
Now, you be a good boy
till I come back, okay?

138
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:20,684
Remember: with food.

139
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:23,034
ELIZABETH: To conclude,

140
00:06:23,078 --> 00:06:24,601
I think the best
strategy is to get

141
00:06:24,645 --> 00:06:27,299
the Fair Work and Trade
Agreement wrapped up,

142
00:06:27,343 --> 00:06:29,563
finally,
and as quickly as possible,

143
00:06:29,606 --> 00:06:33,436
and to lock in all
the gains we can

144
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,267
before China gets wind of the
potential sale of the F-40s.

145
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:41,270
Obviously,
that means keep a tight circle.

146
00:06:41,313 --> 00:06:43,272
Meanwhile,
I'd like all relevant departments

147
00:06:43,315 --> 00:06:45,535
to get their
recommendations on the sale

148
00:06:45,579 --> 00:06:47,189
to my office by
the end of the week

149
00:06:47,232 --> 00:06:49,385
so we can make a determination
to pass on to the White House.

150
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,715
Sound good?

151
00:06:53,761 --> 00:06:58,418
Gary, does Political-Military
Affairs have concerns?

152
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:02,683
Um, I mean, don't you?

153
00:07:02,726 --> 00:07:07,427
Many, which I have expressed to
POTUS, yet here we are.

154
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:11,561
Wow. Uh,
you're welcome to share yours.

155
00:07:11,605 --> 00:07:15,652
Well, for starters,
the shortest road to World War III

156
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:18,481
probably runs through
the Taiwan Strait.

157
00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:21,484
So, there's that.

158
00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:23,486
China has been
increasingly overt

159
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:26,402
in its effort to force Taiwan
into reintegrating, yes.

160
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,187
Which Taiwan resists, in part,
because they know there is

161
00:07:29,231 --> 00:07:32,539
at least an implied promise of U.S.
support.

162
00:07:32,582 --> 00:07:35,759
And we maintain the status
quo through the problematic

163
00:07:35,803 --> 00:07:39,459
but effective policy
of strategic ambiguity.

164
00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:40,808
ELIZABETH: Right. We-we know.

165
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:42,679
So what's your point?

166
00:07:42,723 --> 00:07:45,465
That. That is my point.

167
00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:47,118
It-it... [chuckles]

168
00:07:47,162 --> 00:07:51,514
It's a very delicate balance
here and-and it's... hmm.

169
00:07:51,558 --> 00:07:53,385
L-Look,

170
00:07:53,429 --> 00:07:57,389
does Taiwan want an effective
military deterrent? Of course.

171
00:07:57,433 --> 00:07:59,740
But they don't want to
annoy China into actually

172
00:07:59,783 --> 00:08:01,935
invading them, which is exactly
what this deal could do.

173
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,615
So you're saying Taiwan
may not want the F-40s.

174
00:08:05,659 --> 00:08:07,443
Not "may not," ma'am.

175
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,140
Definitely won't.

176
00:08:09,184 --> 00:08:11,708
JAY: Then perhaps,
as we do from time to time,

177
00:08:11,752 --> 00:08:14,537
we incentivize the purchase.
A loan to offset the costs.

178
00:08:14,581 --> 00:08:16,931
Sure. Why not?

179
00:08:16,974 --> 00:08:20,282
We'll get to work
drafting a proposal.

180
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:23,067
Super. Blake will liaise
with your department on that.

181
00:08:23,111 --> 00:08:26,027
And I don't disagree with
you, Gary.

182
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:29,596
State will give POTUS
an honest assessment

183
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,555
of the potential
impact of the deal,

184
00:08:32,599 --> 00:08:34,557
and hopefully,
that'll be the end of it.

185
00:08:34,601 --> 00:08:37,734
But at the end of the day,
we serve at the pleasure.

186
00:08:37,778 --> 00:08:39,736
Understood, ma'am.

187
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:41,869
Good. Thanks, everybody.

188
00:08:41,912 --> 00:08:44,219
BLAKE: We're giving Taiwan money

189
00:08:44,262 --> 00:08:45,437
to buy jets they don't want

190
00:08:45,481 --> 00:08:46,763
because we don't want
them, either?

191
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:49,877
It makes sense once you
accept that it doesn't.

192
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,313
Talk about strategic ambiguity.

193
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:53,576
This town's built on it.

194
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,535
Buy me a drink sometime
and I'll explain

195
00:08:55,578 --> 00:08:58,494
how untrammeled corporate greed
distorts our foreign policy

196
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,105
and will one day lead to the
collapse of the United States

197
00:09:01,149 --> 00:09:05,109
and very probably,
civilization writ large.

198
00:09:05,153 --> 00:09:07,155
Sounds fun.

199
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:09,200
Okay. Later.

200
00:09:10,985 --> 00:09:12,552
See you.

201
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,686
HENRY: Hey, babe.

202
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:18,993
Hey, how was your joyride?

203
00:09:19,036 --> 00:09:20,821
Was it joyful?

204
00:09:20,864 --> 00:09:22,257
Did you have a joyful ride?

205
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:23,954
It was so great.

206
00:09:23,998 --> 00:09:26,609
Uh-huh. I mean, like I told Jeff,
the plane's kind of a brick,

207
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:30,091
but it was fantastic
being up there again.

208
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:34,182
Well, I'm glad you had fun,
because waiting for you

209
00:09:34,225 --> 00:09:36,184
on the ground was a
real treat for me.

210
00:09:36,227 --> 00:09:37,577
[chuckles]Mm-hmm.

211
00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:39,840
[sighs] Bed.

212
00:09:39,883 --> 00:09:44,627
Hey, why do you say that
the F-40 is a brick?

213
00:09:44,671 --> 00:09:47,717
Well, to be fair,
there's a lot of impressive aspects...

214
00:09:47,761 --> 00:09:49,719
The avionics, the sensor suite.

215
00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:51,591
Like,
if a bandit locks you up...

216
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,593
Back to English, honey.
Uh, sorry.

217
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:57,031
Basically,
it has all these bells and whistles,

218
00:09:57,074 --> 00:10:00,600
like stealth technology,
but they had to give up

219
00:10:00,643 --> 00:10:02,906
a lot of performance to
cram it all in there.

220
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,430
Plus, they're trying to make one
fighter jet to meet the needs

221
00:10:05,474 --> 00:10:07,563
of three different
branches of the military.

222
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,131
It's kind of like a
fighter by committee.

223
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:12,394
[laughs]: That's a
ringing endorsement.

224
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:17,225
[phone vibrating]Too slow to
fight, too big to fail.

225
00:10:17,268 --> 00:10:19,227
[moans]

226
00:10:19,270 --> 00:10:21,664
Yes?

227
00:10:23,753 --> 00:10:27,148
Evening, Minister Chen.
This is a surprise.

228
00:10:27,191 --> 00:10:30,847
"Surprise" is indeed an apt
word, Madam Secretary.

229
00:10:30,891 --> 00:10:33,067
China had already made
its extreme displeasure

230
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:35,635
over your proposed arms sale
to the breakaway province

231
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:37,941
of Taiwan quite
clear to Washington.

232
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:40,074
But now we learn that
you plan[mouthing]

233
00:10:40,117 --> 00:10:42,337
To add insult to injury.

234
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:45,383
Uh, I'm not sure that I
follow, Ming.

235
00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:47,385
If you attempt to sell Taiwan

236
00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:50,258
even one F-40 fighter...

237
00:10:50,301 --> 00:10:52,086
China will regard that

238
00:10:52,129 --> 00:10:53,969
as a grave provocation
and respond accordingly.

239
00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:55,829
Ming,
I don't know where you heard...

240
00:10:55,872 --> 00:10:56,960
To begin with...

241
00:10:57,004 --> 00:10:58,962
we will suspend
our participation

242
00:10:59,006 --> 00:11:00,703
in the Fair Work
and Trade Agreement.

243
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:02,270
More to the point:

244
00:11:02,313 --> 00:11:04,838
we will prepare
ourselves militarily

245
00:11:04,881 --> 00:11:08,537
against this dire threat
to Chinese sovereignty.

246
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:12,454
I warn you, Madam Secretary,
you are crossing a red line.

247
00:11:17,502 --> 00:11:18,982
How the hell did
China find out about

248
00:11:19,026 --> 00:11:20,549
the F-40 sale to
Taiwan so quick?

249
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:23,421
Mr. President, NSA intercepted

250
00:11:23,465 --> 00:11:26,381
communications between
Chinese officials

251
00:11:26,424 --> 00:11:29,340
referencing an internal
State Department memo

252
00:11:29,384 --> 00:11:31,778
generated by the Bureau

253
00:11:31,821 --> 00:11:34,345
of Political-Military Affairs.

254
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:37,784
So you're saying the
leak came from my shop?

255
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:40,221
Certainly appears that way.

256
00:11:40,264 --> 00:11:43,006
DOJ and FBI is opening
an investigation

257
00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:44,355
to find the source.

258
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,228
We'd appreciate your
cooperation, Madam Secretary.

259
00:11:47,271 --> 00:11:48,316
Of course.

260
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:49,709
My department's
at your disposal,

261
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:50,884
whatever you want.

262
00:11:50,927 --> 00:11:53,538
We, uh,
have to stay away from it.

263
00:11:53,582 --> 00:11:56,454
So the investigation stays free
of any political interference.

264
00:11:56,498 --> 00:11:58,718
Yes, clearly.

265
00:11:58,761 --> 00:12:01,416
We're only talking a few
dozen potential suspects here.

266
00:12:01,459 --> 00:12:04,332
Whoever it is might
be close to home.

267
00:12:04,375 --> 00:12:08,118
You sure it'll be so clear then?

268
00:12:08,162 --> 00:12:10,468
Yeah, Russell, I am.
Do you have a suspect?

269
00:12:10,512 --> 00:12:12,209
We do.

270
00:12:12,253 --> 00:12:13,776
DALTON: Good.

271
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:16,344
Meanwhile, we'll, uh,
move forward with the sale

272
00:12:16,387 --> 00:12:17,911
of the jets to Taiwan.

273
00:12:17,954 --> 00:12:20,348
Mr. President,
I can tell when Chen is posturing.

274
00:12:20,391 --> 00:12:21,697
Tonight, he was not.

275
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,351
Neither am I.

276
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:25,483
China doesn't get to
infiltrate the top echelon

277
00:12:25,527 --> 00:12:27,398
of our government
and then turn around

278
00:12:27,442 --> 00:12:28,593
and say that we're
not playing fair.

279
00:12:28,617 --> 00:12:30,097
It demands a tough response.

280
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:31,620
I understand that,
but I'm just saying

281
00:12:31,663 --> 00:12:33,187
that there could
be repercussions.

282
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:34,797
There always are.

283
00:12:37,408 --> 00:12:39,193
That's all.

284
00:12:44,851 --> 00:12:46,896
♪

285
00:12:59,082 --> 00:13:00,518
Not in trouble, am I?

286
00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:01,582
ELIZABETH: Well,
I think under those circumstances...

287
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:03,130
BLAKE: Ma'am?

288
00:13:03,173 --> 00:13:04,827
You wanted to see me?

289
00:13:04,871 --> 00:13:07,264
Yeah.
Blake, thanks for coming in.

290
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,242
These are Special Agents
Smalls and Brock from the FBI.

291
00:13:09,266 --> 00:13:11,268
They just want to ask
you a few questions.

292
00:13:11,312 --> 00:13:12,748
Please, have a seat, Mr. Moran.

293
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:16,491
[quietly]: O-Okay.

294
00:13:16,534 --> 00:13:18,972
I'm not just there
for the good times.

295
00:13:19,015 --> 00:13:22,323
It's like, I-I pitch in
whenever she asks me to.

296
00:13:22,366 --> 00:13:24,368
It's like,
how am I supposed to know

297
00:13:24,412 --> 00:13:28,068
that-that she needs help
if she doesn't speak to me?

298
00:13:28,111 --> 00:13:30,940
It's like, you know, hello?

299
00:13:30,984 --> 00:13:33,203
I'm not a mind reader.

300
00:13:33,247 --> 00:13:35,553
I mean, I get that she's
got a lot on her plate,

301
00:13:35,597 --> 00:13:36,946
but I'm-I'm pretty busy, too.

302
00:13:36,990 --> 00:13:39,862
You know? You know?

303
00:13:39,906 --> 00:13:42,778
I'm either...
calling Captain Ronnie

304
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:44,824
crazy early in the morning,

305
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,522
crazy late at night in Korea,

306
00:13:47,565 --> 00:13:49,567
it's just... it's exhausting.

307
00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:51,569
[sighs]

308
00:13:51,613 --> 00:13:55,138
There's more than one
side to the story,

309
00:13:55,182 --> 00:13:56,879
is all I'm trying
to say.[whines]

310
00:13:56,923 --> 00:13:58,620
Oh, look.

311
00:14:00,622 --> 00:14:03,494
It's first thing in the
morning, and I'm already tired.

312
00:14:03,538 --> 00:14:05,409
[whimpers]

313
00:14:05,453 --> 00:14:08,238
Listen, buddy, I'm gonna...

314
00:14:08,282 --> 00:14:10,501
just close my eyes
for a hot sec.

315
00:14:10,545 --> 00:14:13,461
Before the day gets going, so...

316
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,376
If you want to cuddle with me...

317
00:14:15,419 --> 00:14:17,769
[snoring softly]

318
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:26,474
Catch up with you
guys in a minute.Sure.

319
00:14:30,043 --> 00:14:31,305
Matt!

320
00:14:32,915 --> 00:14:34,438
You got to stop doing that.

321
00:14:34,482 --> 00:14:35,570
I thought you had him.

322
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:36,963
I thought I had him, too.

323
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:39,530
Bad dog.No. Bad you.

324
00:14:39,574 --> 00:14:41,881
[grunts]Careful.

325
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:45,580
Not cool, little dude.

326
00:14:45,623 --> 00:14:47,234
Not cool.

327
00:14:47,277 --> 00:14:48,844
The evidence points
to the leaker

328
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:50,498
being someone from Pol-Mil.

329
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:51,934
Currently, our prime suspect

330
00:14:51,978 --> 00:14:54,415
is Deputy Assistant
Secretary Martin.

331
00:14:54,458 --> 00:14:59,289
You think Gary Martin is a spy?

332
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:02,858
I'm sorry, that just seems a bit, uh...
far-fetched.

333
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,686
How would you describe
your relationship

334
00:15:04,729 --> 00:15:06,383
with the undersecretary,
Mr. Moran?

335
00:15:08,472 --> 00:15:11,258
Um... we've worked on a
few projects together,

336
00:15:11,301 --> 00:15:12,912
so, friendly, I guess.

337
00:15:12,955 --> 00:15:15,523
I mean, as friendly as you can
be with a professional grouch.

338
00:15:15,566 --> 00:15:17,568
So you would say he's disgruntled?
Uh, no.

339
00:15:17,612 --> 00:15:19,440
No, I-I don't mean that.

340
00:15:19,483 --> 00:15:20,702
[stammering]: I think that...

341
00:15:20,745 --> 00:15:22,486
He has a long and
well-documented history

342
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:24,160
of fierce criticism of U.S.
foreign policy.

343
00:15:24,184 --> 00:15:25,968
Just as I'm sure
long-time DOJ hands

344
00:15:26,012 --> 00:15:28,623
have criticism of U.S.
criminal justice policy.

345
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:31,408
And numerous personal contacts
within the Chinese military

346
00:15:31,452 --> 00:15:32,603
and intelligence establishment.

347
00:15:32,627 --> 00:15:34,150
Yes, that-that's his job.

348
00:15:34,194 --> 00:15:35,456
I'm-I'm sorry.

349
00:15:35,499 --> 00:15:38,372
Blake, I admire Gary, too.

350
00:15:38,415 --> 00:15:41,592
But the bottom line
is that his office

351
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:45,335
generated a highly
classified memo that...

352
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:48,077
in less than a single
day, found its way

353
00:15:48,121 --> 00:15:49,644
into the hands of the Chinese.

354
00:15:49,687 --> 00:15:53,430
I offered my department's
support of this investigation

355
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:55,563
because it represents
a grave threat

356
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:57,217
to our national security.

357
00:15:57,260 --> 00:16:01,177
But you're not obligated
to participate, so...

358
00:16:01,221 --> 00:16:04,354
if you don't want to do
so, you're free to go.

359
00:16:08,402 --> 00:16:10,360
♪

360
00:16:10,404 --> 00:16:12,536
You know,
every time I passed by this place,

361
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:14,364
I thought it was
out of business.

362
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:16,671
Possibly condemned.

363
00:16:16,714 --> 00:16:19,630
No, just defiantly un-yuppified.

364
00:16:19,674 --> 00:16:21,023
Old-school.

365
00:16:21,067 --> 00:16:23,591
You could smoke in here
until, like, last year.

366
00:16:23,634 --> 00:16:25,549
Evening, guys.
Get you started with a cocktail?

367
00:16:25,593 --> 00:16:27,136
No thanks,
they don't make me those anymore.

368
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,378
Ginger ale, please.

369
00:16:28,422 --> 00:16:31,251
Uh, can I see your wine list?

370
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:39,389
Yeah. I'll have a martini with,
uh, your least-worst vodka.

371
00:16:39,433 --> 00:16:40,912
Sure.

372
00:16:40,956 --> 00:16:42,131
BLAKE: Gary,

373
00:16:42,175 --> 00:16:44,829
why did you say we
should get a drink

374
00:16:44,873 --> 00:16:46,614
if you don't drink?

375
00:16:46,657 --> 00:16:47,963
It's a thing people say.

376
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,617
Let's cut to the chase.

377
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:52,054
No one from work wants to
hang out with me socially.

378
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:53,664
Ever.

379
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:55,710
Go figure.

380
00:16:55,753 --> 00:16:59,148
So, my guess is that the
secretary sent you here

381
00:16:59,192 --> 00:17:00,889
to find something out.

382
00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:03,587
Sound about right?

383
00:17:05,459 --> 00:17:07,374
BLAKE: Gary,
don't you think you're being

384
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:10,594
just a little... paranoid here?

385
00:17:19,647 --> 00:17:21,779
Castle, this is Ranger.

386
00:17:21,823 --> 00:17:22,998
We're inside the apartment.

387
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:25,000
GARY: That's what Meg says, too.

388
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,436
My girlfriend.

389
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,066
Yeah, I don't know why
she stays with me, either.

390
00:17:28,090 --> 00:17:32,181
But I always say, "No, honey,
I just see things clearly."

391
00:17:32,225 --> 00:17:35,619
So... What would the secretary
even want to know about?

392
00:17:35,663 --> 00:17:38,274
Deflecting my question with a
leading question of your own.

393
00:17:38,318 --> 00:17:41,190
I can see why you're
shooting up the ranks.

394
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:44,585
Maybe the secretary
wants to check in

395
00:17:44,628 --> 00:17:48,632
after my little rant
about the Taiwan deal.

396
00:17:48,676 --> 00:17:51,679
Am I right?

397
00:17:51,722 --> 00:17:54,116
Look, am I passionate
about wanting this country

398
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,901
to base its foreign
policy on our values...

399
00:17:56,945 --> 00:17:59,165
instead of some defense
contractor's bottom line?

400
00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:00,557
Yes.

401
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:03,038
About the fact that State
often gets overruled

402
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:06,650
while the Pentagon drains the
nation's coffers to the tune of

403
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:09,305
literally trillions
of dollars to make us

404
00:18:09,349 --> 00:18:12,047
less safe over the long term?

405
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,962
Sure.

406
00:18:14,005 --> 00:18:15,790
Guilty.

407
00:18:15,833 --> 00:18:17,313
But ask the secretary.

408
00:18:17,357 --> 00:18:19,663
Since when is caring a crime?

409
00:18:21,187 --> 00:18:22,449
Anyway.

410
00:18:24,364 --> 00:18:26,670
To seeing things clearly.

411
00:18:26,714 --> 00:18:30,674
Yeah. Cheers.

412
00:18:30,718 --> 00:18:32,676
NOLAN: Mr. President,
it appears...

413
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,938
that Undersecretary Martin

414
00:18:33,982 --> 00:18:35,810
is not responsible for the leak.

415
00:18:35,853 --> 00:18:38,726
Our investigators determined
that the memo file on his laptop

416
00:18:38,769 --> 00:18:40,815
had been copied
onto a USB drive.

417
00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:42,738
We caught a lucky break
when we found a purchase

418
00:18:42,773 --> 00:18:45,472
for a USB drive on the
credit card statement

419
00:18:45,515 --> 00:18:46,777
of this woman.

420
00:18:46,821 --> 00:18:50,825
His long-time girlfriend,
Megan Morrison.

421
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:53,610
So, she has some
connection to the Chinese.

422
00:18:53,654 --> 00:18:55,612
Actually, sir,
under questioning,

423
00:18:55,656 --> 00:18:58,920
she revealed that she passed
along the State Department memo

424
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:01,357
to an employee at
Fossor Industries.

425
00:19:01,401 --> 00:19:03,707
Are you kidding?[scoffs]

426
00:19:03,751 --> 00:19:04,926
What?

427
00:19:04,969 --> 00:19:08,321
She was a spy... for Fossor?

428
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:11,889
And then unknown
parties at the company

429
00:19:11,933 --> 00:19:14,153
appear to have passed it
on to Chinese intelligence.

430
00:19:15,328 --> 00:19:17,025
Why on earth

431
00:19:17,068 --> 00:19:19,114
would one of our nation's
top defense contractors

432
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:22,378
pass secrets to an adversary?

433
00:19:22,422 --> 00:19:24,467
Because if State recommended

434
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:29,211
the U.S. not sell Taiwan
the extra 20 F-40s,

435
00:19:29,255 --> 00:19:32,475
that could throw the sale
of the other 80 into doubt.

436
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:34,608
Then we'd be talking
billions of dollars,

437
00:19:34,651 --> 00:19:36,262
years of R&D down the drain.

438
00:19:36,305 --> 00:19:39,482
ELIZABETH: But if China
found out about the sale,

439
00:19:39,526 --> 00:19:40,918
they'd hit the roof,

440
00:19:40,962 --> 00:19:43,399
and threaten holy hell if
we went through with it.

441
00:19:43,443 --> 00:19:47,186
Which, in turn,
would ensure that we would.

442
00:19:47,229 --> 00:19:49,188
Son of a bitch.

443
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:52,930
Fossor's trying to box us in.

444
00:19:52,974 --> 00:19:55,411
Not if I have anything
to say about it.

445
00:19:55,455 --> 00:19:58,414
I want to have a little
talk with Fossor's CEO.

446
00:20:06,857 --> 00:20:08,772
So are we sure about this?

447
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:10,818
Speak now or forever
hold your peace.

448
00:20:10,861 --> 00:20:13,908
Sir, Fossor has widespread
support on the Hill.

449
00:20:13,951 --> 00:20:15,344
Angry as I am,

450
00:20:15,388 --> 00:20:17,781
this is not a fight
we're prepared for.

451
00:20:17,825 --> 00:20:19,566
Nevertheless,
it's the fight we're in.

452
00:20:19,609 --> 00:20:21,263
They put their
corporate interests

453
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:23,570
above the United States,
they have to pay a price.

454
00:20:23,613 --> 00:20:25,528
It's a big swing, Mr. President.

455
00:20:25,572 --> 00:20:28,662
There could be major military
readiness issues downstream.

456
00:20:28,705 --> 00:20:31,621
Which is the
problem, in my view.

457
00:20:31,665 --> 00:20:33,928
We've become so dependent
on companies like Fossor

458
00:20:33,971 --> 00:20:36,060
that we're scared to
hold them accountable.

459
00:20:36,104 --> 00:20:39,194
This is exactly the kind
of corrosive situation

460
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:40,587
that Eisenhower warned us about

461
00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:42,415
in his "military-industrial
complex" speech.

462
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:44,460
Hank.

463
00:20:44,504 --> 00:20:46,723
As to the particular
legal question at hand,

464
00:20:46,767 --> 00:20:48,508
you're on solid ground, sir.

465
00:20:50,771 --> 00:20:52,642
Well,
I for one am a little tired

466
00:20:52,686 --> 00:20:56,124
of the tail wagging the
dog, so...

467
00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:57,778
let's go.

468
00:21:02,783 --> 00:21:04,828
CHAMPLIN: Mr. President,
we've received the subpoena

469
00:21:04,872 --> 00:21:06,850
and have been in touch with
the Justice Department.

470
00:21:06,874 --> 00:21:09,616
The charges against Fossor
are scurrilous and absurd,

471
00:21:09,659 --> 00:21:12,358
and we intend to fight
them to the last breath.

472
00:21:12,401 --> 00:21:15,491
It's also highly improper for
you to be contacting us at all.

473
00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:17,450
Oh, I can assure you,
I wouldn't do anything

474
00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:19,539
to compromise the
case, Mr. Champlin.

475
00:21:19,582 --> 00:21:21,628
We're calling for
another reason.

476
00:21:21,671 --> 00:21:24,065
Secretary Becker.

477
00:21:24,108 --> 00:21:27,808
Mr. Champlin,
on behalf of the Department of Defense,

478
00:21:27,851 --> 00:21:30,637
I am formally alerting
you that we are exercising

479
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,596
our "Termination of Convenience"
clause with respect to the F-40.

480
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,427
You can't just cancel
a $31 billion contract.

481
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:40,057
NOLAN: With all due
respect, Mr. Champlin,

482
00:21:40,081 --> 00:21:42,388
yes, we can. And we are.

483
00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:46,740
I'm very sorry to hear
that, Mr. President.

484
00:21:46,783 --> 00:21:49,960
Good day, Mr. Champlin.

485
00:21:50,004 --> 00:21:52,354
I can't believe it.
M-Sec thought you should know.

486
00:21:52,398 --> 00:21:55,792
Wait, so, h-his girlfriend
was some kind of sleeper agent

487
00:21:55,836 --> 00:21:57,272
for Fossor the whole time?

488
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,883
Uh... they got their hooks
into her a few years back.

489
00:21:59,927 --> 00:22:01,232
She had debts.

490
00:22:01,276 --> 00:22:02,775
Fossor knew that Gary
played an important role

491
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:05,062
in vetting overseas arms sales,

492
00:22:05,106 --> 00:22:06,890
so they kept her in
their back pocket

493
00:22:06,934 --> 00:22:08,762
until they needed her.

494
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,155
What's gonna happen to Gary?

495
00:22:11,199 --> 00:22:12,940
Well, career-wise, he's toast.

496
00:22:12,983 --> 00:22:15,508
You don't take top secret
files home on your laptop.

497
00:22:15,551 --> 00:22:17,771
The good news is,
now that the F-40s

498
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:18,902
aren't going to Taiwan,

499
00:22:18,946 --> 00:22:19,773
the Fair Work and
Trade Agreement's

500
00:22:19,816 --> 00:22:21,209
back on the table with China.

501
00:22:21,252 --> 00:22:22,752
The secretary's planning
an off-books meeting

502
00:22:22,776 --> 00:22:26,257
with Chen in Quebec to try
and get him on board again.

503
00:22:26,301 --> 00:22:29,696
And if she does,
then we got a lot of work to do.

504
00:22:29,739 --> 00:22:31,785
So, be ready to rock and
roll, okay?

505
00:22:31,828 --> 00:22:34,527
Yeah, absolutely.

506
00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:37,530
Man... poor Gary.

507
00:22:37,573 --> 00:22:40,707
I-I just feel bad is all.Don't.

508
00:22:40,750 --> 00:22:42,685
He was a suspect in a
massive intelligence breach.

509
00:22:42,709 --> 00:22:44,232
You were on the right side.

510
00:22:44,275 --> 00:22:46,930
Hey, I-I know Gary
wasn't your cup of tea,

511
00:22:46,974 --> 00:22:50,238
but why are you being
so harsh about this?

512
00:22:50,281 --> 00:22:52,632
Because this work we
do is life or death,

513
00:22:52,675 --> 00:22:53,955
and the parties
that we deal with

514
00:22:53,981 --> 00:22:55,374
are playing for keeps.

515
00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:57,177
And they'll exploit any
weakness that they can find.

516
00:22:57,201 --> 00:22:59,203
And you need to understand
that from the jump

517
00:22:59,247 --> 00:23:01,292
if you don't want to
wind up like Gary, okay?

518
00:23:01,336 --> 00:23:03,556
Okay.

519
00:23:11,346 --> 00:23:14,915
CHEN: If the illegal
and provocative sale

520
00:23:14,958 --> 00:23:20,442
of F-40 fighters to the
breakaway province of Taiwan

521
00:23:20,486 --> 00:23:23,967
is in fact cancelled,

522
00:23:24,011 --> 00:23:27,493
then I see no reason why we
cannot continue negotiations

523
00:23:27,536 --> 00:23:29,973
on the Fair Work
and Trade Agreement.

524
00:23:30,017 --> 00:23:32,541
That's great. Great.

525
00:23:32,585 --> 00:23:35,892
Well, I look forward to
working with you again.

526
00:23:35,936 --> 00:23:37,677
On behalf of the
rest of the world,

527
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,983
I say it's abouttime.

528
00:23:42,029 --> 00:23:44,031
[siren wailing in distance]

529
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:47,948
Well,
I'm not entirely surprised,

530
00:23:47,991 --> 00:23:51,430
but I am relieved that
we were able to have

531
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:54,520
such a productive conversation.

532
00:23:54,563 --> 00:23:57,740
As am I, Elizabeth.

533
00:23:57,784 --> 00:24:01,091
I think the most surprising
part of the evening was...

534
00:24:01,135 --> 00:24:03,703
they really do say "aboot."

535
00:24:03,746 --> 00:24:05,356
[laughing]

536
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,402
[camera clicking]

537
00:24:11,972 --> 00:24:13,253
JAY: This isn't gonna
surprise anyone,

538
00:24:13,277 --> 00:24:15,062
but China's demanding
a last-minute change

539
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:17,475
on one of the provisions in the
Fair Work and Trade Agreement,

540
00:24:17,499 --> 00:24:20,763
so now we have to contact all
the other signatory countries

541
00:24:20,807 --> 00:24:22,852
to get their feedback.
That's crazy.

542
00:24:22,896 --> 00:24:24,816
If China wants the change,
why don't they contact

543
00:24:24,854 --> 00:24:25,899
all the other countries?

544
00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:27,509
Well, look,
China's giving up a lot

545
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:28,902
just by signing the agreement.

546
00:24:28,945 --> 00:24:30,991
So?

547
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:32,383
So, we got China into this.

548
00:24:32,427 --> 00:24:35,038
The least America can do
is help out a little, Matt.

549
00:24:35,082 --> 00:24:36,431
Maybe if China was being honest

550
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:37,998
and communicative
about their needs,

551
00:24:38,041 --> 00:24:40,043
America wouldn't
have to scramble

552
00:24:40,087 --> 00:24:42,413
to pick up the slack, Daisy. Well, maybe
if America was a tiny bit more sensitive

553
00:24:42,437 --> 00:24:44,067
to what China's been going through...
Oh, sensitive? Sensitive?

554
00:24:44,091 --> 00:24:47,398
Maybe China and America should
talk about this somewhere else.

555
00:24:47,442 --> 00:24:50,532
Okay, everybody,
let's circle back to this in five.

556
00:24:50,576 --> 00:24:53,361
Matt, Daisy.

557
00:24:53,404 --> 00:24:56,538
Well, I'm sorry I encouraged you

558
00:24:56,582 --> 00:24:59,019
to adopt Waffles,
who you totally love.

559
00:24:59,062 --> 00:25:00,890
I guess I am the bad guy here.

560
00:25:00,934 --> 00:25:02,762
No, no,
just the unreliable guy.[scoffs]

561
00:25:02,805 --> 00:25:04,938
JAY: Okay, so I understand...

562
00:25:04,981 --> 00:25:06,548
we're negotiating an
historic agreement

563
00:25:06,592 --> 00:25:07,897
with our greatest rival,

564
00:25:07,941 --> 00:25:10,944
and you guys are
quarreling about a dog?

565
00:25:10,987 --> 00:25:14,164
Well, anything sounds trivial
when you put it like that.

566
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:18,212
All right, well,
Abby and I have had a lot of success

567
00:25:18,255 --> 00:25:23,130
in dealing with scheduling issues
around, uh, childcare,

568
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:24,653
by sharing a calendar.

569
00:25:24,697 --> 00:25:26,002
Could that be an answer?

570
00:25:26,046 --> 00:25:27,787
He'd probably just sleep
through the alerts.

571
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:29,702
I fell asleep one time.
Yeah, in one day.

572
00:25:29,745 --> 00:25:32,052
Okay, okay.
Daisy, how much time per week

573
00:25:32,095 --> 00:25:33,377
do you need someone
to take Waffles?

574
00:25:33,401 --> 00:25:34,750
Honestly, right now, three days.

575
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,970
And you know my building
doesn't allow pets.

576
00:25:37,013 --> 00:25:40,190
So what do you want
me to do about that?

577
00:25:40,234 --> 00:25:42,018
Oh, come on.

578
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,106
[crying]: I'm sorry.

579
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:45,979
What's going on?

580
00:25:46,022 --> 00:25:47,371
DAISY: Matt's right.

581
00:25:47,415 --> 00:25:49,852
He did say at the outset

582
00:25:49,896 --> 00:25:52,202
his building doesn't allow dogs.

583
00:25:52,246 --> 00:25:55,292
But I was concerned,
when I first adopted Waffles,

584
00:25:55,336 --> 00:25:58,078
that I wouldn't have the
resources to take care of him

585
00:25:58,121 --> 00:26:01,037
in the way that he deserves.

586
00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:03,170
And as much as it
breaks my heart...

587
00:26:04,954 --> 00:26:07,019
I think I'm gonna have to
find a new home for him.

588
00:26:07,043 --> 00:26:09,393
Wait, are you serious?

589
00:26:09,437 --> 00:26:10,786
You got any better ideas?

590
00:26:10,830 --> 00:26:13,006
Oh, sorry, am I...

591
00:26:13,049 --> 00:26:14,834
No, it's fine. What's up, Nina?

592
00:26:14,877 --> 00:26:16,923
The secretary wants
to see you right away.

593
00:26:22,102 --> 00:26:23,843
ELIZABETH: I didn't push POTUS

594
00:26:23,886 --> 00:26:24,950
into anything.
RUSSELL: Oh, come on.

595
00:26:24,974 --> 00:26:26,628
We both know you've got his ear.

596
00:26:26,672 --> 00:26:28,151
You-you wanted to see me, ma'am?

597
00:26:28,195 --> 00:26:30,937
[sighs] Yes.
We've got a problem.

598
00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:33,983
We won't get into of
whose making it is.

599
00:26:34,027 --> 00:26:35,942
I thought we could
use your expertise

600
00:26:35,985 --> 00:26:37,006
from your time on the Hill.

601
00:26:37,030 --> 00:26:39,946
I didn't.

602
00:26:39,989 --> 00:26:43,253
This happened just
a few minutes ago.

603
00:26:43,297 --> 00:26:45,429
Congressman Brandt. Here we go.

604
00:26:45,473 --> 00:26:47,040
Ladies and gentlemen, please.

605
00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:50,043
When I heard that President
Dalton ordered the cancellation

606
00:26:50,086 --> 00:26:51,305
of the F-40 fighter...

607
00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:53,350
The key to our nation's
future air defense...

608
00:26:53,394 --> 00:26:54,569
I was alarmed.

609
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:58,660
When I found out why,
I became enraged.

610
00:26:58,704 --> 00:27:01,663
Turns out the president just
can't bring himself to sell

611
00:27:01,707 --> 00:27:05,928
20 F-40s to our good
friends in Taiwan,

612
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:07,930
who so desperately
want and need them.

613
00:27:07,974 --> 00:27:09,299
Okay, that's a lie.
Oh, he's just getting started.

614
00:27:09,323 --> 00:27:10,716
And why?

615
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,153
Because he and Secretary
of State Elizabeth McCord

616
00:27:13,196 --> 00:27:16,635
thought it was more important
to appease their real friends,

617
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,158
the Chinese.

618
00:27:18,201 --> 00:27:22,553
Look how cozy those two are.

619
00:27:22,597 --> 00:27:24,207
That's why I've introduced

620
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:26,011
an emergency rider to the
upcoming spending bill.

621
00:27:26,035 --> 00:27:30,344
The president may be comfortable
with killing tens of thousands

622
00:27:30,387 --> 00:27:31,693
of jobs across the nation,

623
00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:33,739
endangering our
friends in Taiwan,

624
00:27:33,782 --> 00:27:36,698
and putting our nation's
security at risk,

625
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:38,221
but I am not.

626
00:27:38,265 --> 00:27:41,224
Thank you.[reporters clamoring]

627
00:27:41,268 --> 00:27:43,009
Fossor's flexing its
muscle on the Hill

628
00:27:43,052 --> 00:27:44,682
to try to force us to go
through with the contract.

629
00:27:44,706 --> 00:27:46,403
Unbelievable.

630
00:27:46,447 --> 00:27:51,234
So, unless the three of us
figure something out quick,

631
00:27:51,278 --> 00:27:53,759
looks like our only
choice is either to

632
00:27:53,802 --> 00:27:56,196
shut down the government
or...[thunder crashes]

633
00:27:56,239 --> 00:27:58,502
Let them get away with it.

634
00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:01,027
You hear that?

635
00:28:01,070 --> 00:28:04,944
That's the sound of Eisenhower
turning in his grave.

636
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:16,303
I'm on record as having doubts.

637
00:28:16,346 --> 00:28:18,566
Well, we have to at
least give Congress

638
00:28:18,609 --> 00:28:20,655
a chance to do the
right thing and vote no

639
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,309
on that stupid rider.

640
00:28:22,352 --> 00:28:23,634
Well, forgive me if
I'm less than sanguine

641
00:28:23,658 --> 00:28:25,573
about appealing to
the better angels

642
00:28:25,616 --> 00:28:27,575
of the hacks on the
Appropriations Committee.

643
00:28:27,618 --> 00:28:29,882
Any better ideas? David, hi. Hi.

644
00:28:29,925 --> 00:28:31,207
Thank you for coming
to represent Taiwan.

645
00:28:31,231 --> 00:28:33,624
And, Jeff,
thank you for pulling this together

646
00:28:33,668 --> 00:28:34,974
on such short notice,

647
00:28:35,017 --> 00:28:36,932
and with such discretion.

648
00:28:36,976 --> 00:28:38,586
I'm pretty curious

649
00:28:38,629 --> 00:28:41,415
why POTUS tried to cancel the
Fossor deal in the first place.

650
00:28:41,458 --> 00:28:44,113
Well, it's a... [chuckles]

651
00:28:44,157 --> 00:28:45,201
It's a doozy.

652
00:28:45,245 --> 00:28:47,377
I'm all ears.

653
00:28:47,421 --> 00:28:50,641
ELIZABETH: Hi, everyone.
Thank you for coming.

654
00:28:50,685 --> 00:28:55,037
I know the president's
cancellation of the contract

655
00:28:55,081 --> 00:28:57,692
with Fossor caught
many of you off guard.

656
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:02,784
So let me say that
we well understand

657
00:29:02,828 --> 00:29:04,917
the historic and important role

658
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,789
that Fossor Industries plays
in our national defense.

659
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:09,922
Not to mention the
tens of thousands

660
00:29:09,965 --> 00:29:11,793
of jobs they create.

661
00:29:11,837 --> 00:29:14,076
And we should hasten to add
the F-40's an excellent plane.

662
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:18,539
Yeah. But the fact is...

663
00:29:18,582 --> 00:29:21,934
Fossor engaged in espionage
against the State Department,

664
00:29:21,977 --> 00:29:25,502
and then leaked
top secret material

665
00:29:25,546 --> 00:29:30,246
pertaining to the potential
sale of the F-40 to the Chinese

666
00:29:30,290 --> 00:29:33,641
to force us to go
forward with the deal.

667
00:29:33,684 --> 00:29:34,903
Lastly,

668
00:29:34,947 --> 00:29:37,123
Congressman Brandt
falsely claimed

669
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:42,519
that Taiwan desperately
wants those extra F-40s.

670
00:29:42,563 --> 00:29:45,740
To rebut that assertion
once and for all,

671
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:47,698
I yield the floor to David Yu,

672
00:29:47,742 --> 00:29:51,877
from the Taipei Economic
and Cultural Office.

673
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,879
We don't want the jets.

674
00:29:53,922 --> 00:29:55,881
Seriously, we don't.

675
00:29:55,924 --> 00:29:58,100
Please don't send them.

676
00:30:00,711 --> 00:30:03,758
Thank you, David. Thanks.

677
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:06,848
If you vote for Brandt's rider,

678
00:30:06,892 --> 00:30:09,546
you'll be voting to risk
shutting down the government,

679
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:12,854
endangering the national
interest on behalf of a company

680
00:30:12,898 --> 00:30:16,727
whose actions show it
only cares for its own.

681
00:30:16,771 --> 00:30:21,689
Please... vote no.

682
00:30:21,732 --> 00:30:23,256
ELIZABETH: Thank
you for your time.

683
00:30:23,299 --> 00:30:25,824
GROUP: Thank you.

684
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:31,699
HENRY: Jeff. Hey.

685
00:30:31,742 --> 00:30:32,981
What was the sense in the room?

686
00:30:33,005 --> 00:30:36,051
[sighs] Hard to say.

687
00:30:36,095 --> 00:30:39,750
What? Did they not hear
what Elizabeth said?

688
00:30:39,794 --> 00:30:42,057
Look, as long as these
spying allegations

689
00:30:42,101 --> 00:30:44,712
against Fossor remain unproven,

690
00:30:44,755 --> 00:30:47,802
members have political
cover to stick with them.

691
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:50,152
Wow. There's a facility
in my district.

692
00:30:50,196 --> 00:30:54,722
Manufactures the wing-fluid
delivery systems for the F-40.

693
00:30:54,765 --> 00:30:57,681
That's 200 high-paying
American jobs.

694
00:30:57,725 --> 00:31:01,555
Adding the tax base,
local businesses...

695
00:31:01,598 --> 00:31:04,253
More important,
they're not just jobs.

696
00:31:04,297 --> 00:31:06,647
They're people.

697
00:31:08,997 --> 00:31:13,175
Look, Jeff,
I'm not a congressman.

698
00:31:13,219 --> 00:31:15,395
But I was a Marine
pilot, just like you.

699
00:31:15,438 --> 00:31:19,312
And I swore an oath to
defend the Constitution,

700
00:31:19,355 --> 00:31:20,835
not a corporation.

701
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:23,272
And I sure as hell wouldn't
send one of my brothers

702
00:31:23,316 --> 00:31:25,796
and sisters in arms on a sortie
in a plane I didn't believe in.

703
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,714
The Secretary of
Defense says it's fine.

704
00:31:30,758 --> 00:31:31,846
Well, you know better?

705
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:34,936
Okay.

706
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:36,895
Thanks for setting
the meeting up.

707
00:31:53,694 --> 00:31:55,130
Tell me that's ginger ale.

708
00:31:58,742 --> 00:32:02,007
Listen, I appreciate the
concern, I guess,

709
00:32:02,050 --> 00:32:05,184
but how about we take a rain
check on whatever this is?

710
00:32:05,227 --> 00:32:07,012
I wanted to say I'm sorry.

711
00:32:07,055 --> 00:32:09,840
For pretending to be my friend
so the Feds could toss my place?

712
00:32:12,452 --> 00:32:14,889
Hey, no problem, pal.

713
00:32:18,284 --> 00:32:20,982
I'm lucky they didn't fire me.

714
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:23,245
I screwed up with the
laptop, I own that.

715
00:32:25,813 --> 00:32:27,423
But you know what really hurts?

716
00:32:27,467 --> 00:32:31,297
I mean, bes...
besides the Meg of it all,

717
00:32:31,340 --> 00:32:33,777
which I won't go into,
other than to say,

718
00:32:33,821 --> 00:32:35,388
I spent the last
ten Thanksgivings

719
00:32:35,431 --> 00:32:37,216
with her senile,
but also racist dad,

720
00:32:37,259 --> 00:32:38,826
which was a barrel of laughs,

721
00:32:38,869 --> 00:32:40,784
and this is the thanks I get.

722
00:32:40,828 --> 00:32:43,962
What hurts

723
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:46,027
is that they could think
that someone who has fought

724
00:32:46,051 --> 00:32:49,184
as hard as I have to
make our foreign policy

725
00:32:49,228 --> 00:32:52,057
actually line up with our values

726
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,929
could be a spy,

727
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:58,977
that I would ever
sell this country out.

728
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,761
Ah...

729
00:33:02,763 --> 00:33:05,766
That hurts pretty damn bad.

730
00:33:12,077 --> 00:33:13,339
What do you do now?

731
00:33:13,382 --> 00:33:15,080
Um...

732
00:33:15,123 --> 00:33:17,343
take my pension,
get out of Dodge.

733
00:33:17,386 --> 00:33:20,999
Find a small town,
lay low for a while.

734
00:33:22,696 --> 00:33:24,393
What about Boston?

735
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,094
I checked in with some
friends at Harvard.

736
00:33:29,137 --> 00:33:32,923
The Kennedy School is
looking for a Senior Fellow.

737
00:33:32,967 --> 00:33:34,838
You'd make a great
teacher, Gary.

738
00:33:34,882 --> 00:33:39,147
Eh, you're just saying
that 'cause I rant a lot.

739
00:33:39,191 --> 00:33:41,541
Yeah.

740
00:33:41,584 --> 00:33:43,891
It'd be your dream job.

741
00:33:48,113 --> 00:33:52,160
You know, for a seventh floor
type, you got a big heart.

742
00:33:52,204 --> 00:33:55,642
Too big, I'm told.

743
00:33:55,685 --> 00:33:58,427
Listen to me,

744
00:33:58,471 --> 00:34:00,777
to keep fighting the good
fight in this line of work,

745
00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:02,083
you have to have a big heart

746
00:34:02,127 --> 00:34:04,651
because it's constantly
being chipped away at.

747
00:34:04,694 --> 00:34:07,784
See? Natural teacher.

748
00:34:11,397 --> 00:34:12,833
[sighs]

749
00:34:12,876 --> 00:34:17,359
I really will think it over.
It's ginger ale, by the way.

750
00:34:17,403 --> 00:34:22,060
Oh. I'm glad.
Do you mind if I have...

751
00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:23,670
No. Knock yourself out.

752
00:34:23,713 --> 00:34:25,585
I'll have a martini.

753
00:34:25,628 --> 00:34:28,849
Hi, Russell, come on in.Evening.
I was on my way home.

754
00:34:28,892 --> 00:34:30,590
Hey. ELIZABETH: Hey.

755
00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:34,072
Thought I'd give you the
inspiring news in person.

756
00:34:34,115 --> 00:34:36,813
Well, you don't look inspired.

757
00:34:36,857 --> 00:34:38,946
Unofficial whip count looks like

758
00:34:38,989 --> 00:34:40,817
the spending bill
with Brandt's rider

759
00:34:40,861 --> 00:34:44,125
has the votes to
override a veto.

760
00:34:44,169 --> 00:34:47,085
We just met with the committee
members a few hours ago.

761
00:34:47,128 --> 00:34:48,912
How can there already
be a whip vote?

762
00:34:48,956 --> 00:34:50,914
Amazing how fast
Congress can move

763
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,656
when their own
reelections are at stake.

764
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:56,050
So I guess America's
gonna buy those planes,

765
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,052
whether we need them or not.

766
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:02,056
Oh, and word is your buddy
Jeff Pearson's a yes, too.

767
00:35:05,015 --> 00:35:06,147
[chuckles]: Well...

768
00:35:06,191 --> 00:35:07,888
don't stand there
looking all wounded,

769
00:35:07,931 --> 00:35:10,630
like I just told you the
Easter Bunny's not real.

770
00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:14,721
This is Washington, kids,
and I told you we weren't ready

771
00:35:14,764 --> 00:35:16,592
for this fight.

772
00:35:21,989 --> 00:35:24,296
If Congress jams
that rider through,

773
00:35:24,339 --> 00:35:25,993
China will hit back quickly.

774
00:35:26,036 --> 00:35:29,039
They'll pull out of the Fair
Work and Trade Agreement.

775
00:35:29,083 --> 00:35:31,303
They'll step up naval
activity in the Taiwan Strait.

776
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:32,565
RUSSELL: Our hands are tied.

777
00:35:32,608 --> 00:35:34,219
They won.

778
00:35:34,262 --> 00:35:38,745
No company should get to dictate
to the United States government.

779
00:35:38,788 --> 00:35:40,181
DALTON: You know,

780
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:43,053
for a president
who took some grief

781
00:35:43,097 --> 00:35:47,841
about playing too much golf,
Eisenhower got a lot done.

782
00:35:47,884 --> 00:35:52,367
The interstate highway system,
fighting for desegregation,

783
00:35:52,411 --> 00:35:56,110
pushing back the Soviets.

784
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,460
But that famous
speech about the...

785
00:35:58,504 --> 00:36:02,551
military-industrial complex?

786
00:36:02,595 --> 00:36:06,773
That was his final
speech in office.

787
00:36:06,816 --> 00:36:09,384
Do you think there
was a reason for that?

788
00:36:09,428 --> 00:36:12,909
An effective president gets
two or three things done

789
00:36:12,953 --> 00:36:15,999
that really move
the country forward.

790
00:36:16,043 --> 00:36:20,178
A truly excellent
one, maybe four.

791
00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:22,702
I think you'll be
an excellent one.

792
00:36:22,745 --> 00:36:26,140
Well, thank you, sir.

793
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:28,403
But... The point is,

794
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:33,103
if you want to bring Fossor
and its ilk to heel, Godspeed.

795
00:36:33,147 --> 00:36:37,760
Just be sure that that's the
most important thing to you

796
00:36:37,804 --> 00:36:39,980
because there won't be much
room for anything else.

797
00:36:40,023 --> 00:36:42,461
Understood, sir.
What's the word, Hank?

798
00:36:42,504 --> 00:36:44,985
Mr. President,
I wanted to apprise you personally

799
00:36:45,028 --> 00:36:46,595
of some developments
in the Fossor case.

800
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:48,206
Shoot.

801
00:36:48,249 --> 00:36:52,035
Based on an anonymous tip,
we've uncovered a pattern at Fossor

802
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,124
of some very serious
public corruption,

803
00:36:54,168 --> 00:36:57,040
including numerous campaign
finance violations.

804
00:36:57,084 --> 00:36:58,216
What, the dark money

805
00:36:58,259 --> 00:37:00,609
they already dump
into campaigns,

806
00:37:00,653 --> 00:37:03,003
but legally don't
even have to report,

807
00:37:03,046 --> 00:37:04,285
wasn't quite enough for
them, huh?

808
00:37:04,309 --> 00:37:08,138
How high up does
the corruption go?

809
00:37:09,792 --> 00:37:11,490
Thanks, Jose.

810
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:14,188
Lot of guys would be mad

811
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:17,365
they skulled that last
shot, but not me,

812
00:37:17,409 --> 00:37:18,714
'cause what do I always say?

813
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:21,282
"Adversity is opportunity,"
sir.[chuckles]

814
00:37:21,326 --> 00:37:24,111
That's right. Okay.

815
00:37:24,154 --> 00:37:27,549
Hit the sand behind the ball.

816
00:37:27,593 --> 00:37:29,899
Easy power, easy power.

817
00:37:29,943 --> 00:37:32,511
Uh, sir...

818
00:37:32,554 --> 00:37:34,600
Sir. What, Jose?

819
00:37:37,124 --> 00:37:38,778
James Champlin?

820
00:37:46,307 --> 00:37:48,396
[indistinct chatter]

821
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,181
I wouldn't know, either.
Oh, Congressman Chivvers.

822
00:37:51,225 --> 00:37:52,507
Congressman Faustino,
Congresswoman Robertson.

823
00:37:52,531 --> 00:37:53,967
Good to see you.

824
00:37:54,010 --> 00:37:56,535
Guessing you just heard about
James Champlin's arrest.

825
00:37:56,578 --> 00:37:58,537
That's quite a list of charges.

826
00:37:58,580 --> 00:38:03,193
All those allegations of
campaign finance violations...

827
00:38:03,237 --> 00:38:04,823
[clicks tongue] Who knows
where that's gonna go.

828
00:38:04,847 --> 00:38:06,327
CHIVVERS: We're not
going to support.

829
00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:08,590
Brandt's rider,
if that's what you want to know.

830
00:38:08,634 --> 00:38:11,550
FAUSTINO: Support
among members is...

831
00:38:11,593 --> 00:38:13,203
falling.

832
00:38:13,247 --> 00:38:15,356
It's crashing back to Earth and
breaking up on reentry, Herb.

833
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:17,295
Well, you're the one that
twisted my arm, Susan.

834
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:19,775
We needed those
jobs...[overlapping arguing]

835
00:38:19,819 --> 00:38:22,256
[arguing continues]

836
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:25,346
Well, thank you for this glimpse
into your deliberative process.

837
00:38:25,390 --> 00:38:28,001
[arguing continues]

838
00:38:31,221 --> 00:38:33,006
Waffles can stay with
me three days a week.

839
00:38:33,049 --> 00:38:34,834
I know you mean well,
but this is actually

840
00:38:34,877 --> 00:38:37,184
really difficult...
No. No, no, no.

841
00:38:37,227 --> 00:38:40,274
Listen, I spoke to my landlord,

842
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:42,276
and he agreed to make an
exception in this case.

843
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:45,453
Why?

844
00:38:45,497 --> 00:38:48,500
Because I'm a terrific tenant,
and he doesn't want to lose me,

845
00:38:48,543 --> 00:38:50,284
and I might've also
said that Waffles

846
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:51,851
is an emotional support dog.

847
00:38:51,894 --> 00:38:53,592
That you only have part-time?

848
00:38:53,635 --> 00:38:56,377
Mr. Manukian is old, okay?

849
00:38:56,421 --> 00:38:58,616
It's possible he might not
have heard everything I said.

850
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,555
The point is, it worked.

851
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:05,255
Or it will,
as long as Waffles...

852
00:39:05,299 --> 00:39:07,388
wears this.

853
00:39:07,432 --> 00:39:08,998
Come here.

854
00:39:09,042 --> 00:39:11,784
Who's good?
I don't know if this is right.

855
00:39:11,827 --> 00:39:14,613
Good. Think of it this way:

856
00:39:14,656 --> 00:39:17,746
Waffles is emotionally
supporting you

857
00:39:17,790 --> 00:39:20,270
by staying with me

858
00:39:20,314 --> 00:39:22,577
three days a week. All right.

859
00:39:22,621 --> 00:39:26,712
Come here, baby. [Grunts]

860
00:39:26,755 --> 00:39:28,366
Does that work?

861
00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:33,240
I'm sorry I got so mad.

862
00:39:33,283 --> 00:39:36,852
I'm sorry you had to.

863
00:39:36,896 --> 00:39:39,768
Looks like he's the one who
needs the support. [Chuckles]

864
00:39:39,812 --> 00:39:43,381
I don't know.
I feel better already.

865
00:39:43,424 --> 00:39:44,817
How about you?

866
00:39:44,860 --> 00:39:48,211
Yeah. Do you want to go home?

867
00:39:51,301 --> 00:39:53,608
Thanks, man.

868
00:39:53,652 --> 00:39:55,958
Thanks for agreeing
to meet with me.

869
00:40:01,442 --> 00:40:04,837
You were right, I don't totally
understand all the pressures

870
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,796
you're under as a congressman.

871
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,192
So you know, I was prepared to
vote "yes" on the Brandt rider.

872
00:40:12,235 --> 00:40:14,455
Might not have been the
gutsiest vote I ever took,

873
00:40:14,499 --> 00:40:17,415
but in any case, it's moot now.

874
00:40:17,458 --> 00:40:21,157
Well, I just didn't want you to
think I was moralizing at you.

875
00:40:21,201 --> 00:40:22,855
Not to worry.

876
00:40:22,898 --> 00:40:24,334
You know something, Hank,

877
00:40:24,378 --> 00:40:26,772
you always did see
things pretty clearly,

878
00:40:26,815 --> 00:40:28,208
how they might play out.

879
00:40:28,251 --> 00:40:32,430
You definitely clocked
this situation with Fossor

880
00:40:32,473 --> 00:40:36,172
better than I did.

881
00:40:36,216 --> 00:40:37,783
Until recently, anyway.

882
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:48,184
The anonymous source that
tipped off the DOJ...

883
00:40:55,844 --> 00:40:58,804
Like you said, end of the day,

884
00:40:58,847 --> 00:41:01,154
I'm still a Marine.

885
00:41:01,197 --> 00:41:03,461
Oorah.

886
00:41:06,507 --> 00:41:07,639
[laughter] Bess.

887
00:41:07,682 --> 00:41:09,031
Mr. President.

888
00:41:09,075 --> 00:41:11,425
Join us for a toast. Love to.

889
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:12,382
BECKER: There you are.

890
00:41:12,426 --> 00:41:13,601
Thank you. Mm-hmm.

891
00:41:13,645 --> 00:41:15,211
There's a lot to be proud of.

892
00:41:15,255 --> 00:41:17,344
Yeah. James Champlin and
Fossor will have to answer

893
00:41:17,387 --> 00:41:18,824
for their corruption in court,

894
00:41:18,867 --> 00:41:22,131
the Fair Work and Trade
Agreement is back on track,

895
00:41:22,175 --> 00:41:23,524
and we're only buying 80.

896
00:41:23,568 --> 00:41:25,918
F-40 fighters,
as we originally agreed.

897
00:41:25,961 --> 00:41:27,615
BECKER: Pretty good day's
work, I'd say.

898
00:41:27,659 --> 00:41:29,356
I'm sorry, excuse me?

899
00:41:29,399 --> 00:41:31,532
The scandal brought
Fossor back to the table.

900
00:41:31,576 --> 00:41:34,187
They agreed to eat the cost
of the additional 20 jets,

901
00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:35,405
so we won't have to.

902
00:41:35,449 --> 00:41:37,973
We got what we wanted. We won.

903
00:41:38,017 --> 00:41:40,541
No, we won before,

904
00:41:40,585 --> 00:41:42,804
when the contract was
cancelled altogether.

905
00:41:42,848 --> 00:41:44,782
That would've left us with
no next-generation fighters

906
00:41:44,806 --> 00:41:47,548
in the pipeline.
You said we could retrofit the YF-31.

907
00:41:47,592 --> 00:41:50,072
Well, guess who revised their
budget estimates upward?

908
00:41:50,116 --> 00:41:52,161
The manufacturer
of the YF-31.Yes.

909
00:41:52,205 --> 00:41:53,554
But we had leverage.

910
00:41:53,598 --> 00:41:55,730
Fossor's the devil we
know at this point.

911
00:41:55,774 --> 00:41:56,731
Yes,

912
00:41:56,775 --> 00:41:59,299
but they are still the devil,

913
00:41:59,342 --> 00:42:03,259
and the F-40 is still
an overpriced albatross

914
00:42:03,303 --> 00:42:06,828
and the whole system needs
to be changed. Sir...

915
00:42:06,872 --> 00:42:10,745
We fought the world's largest
defense contractor to a draw.

916
00:42:10,789 --> 00:42:12,007
With these people,

917
00:42:12,051 --> 00:42:13,835
that's as close to a
win as you're gonna get.

918
00:42:13,879 --> 00:42:16,708
Now, can we drink, finally? Mm.

919
00:42:16,751 --> 00:42:19,014
Actually,
I'm already a little dizzy.

920
00:42:19,058 --> 00:42:20,886
I think I'll say good night.
Thank you.

921
00:42:20,929 --> 00:42:24,585
I told you before, Bess,

922
00:42:24,629 --> 00:42:26,195
if you want to use
up your presidency

923
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,501
fighting for that win,

924
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,635
be my guest.

925
00:42:30,678 --> 00:42:33,986
You can count on it, sir.

926
00:42:37,206 --> 00:42:40,558
Due respect, sir,
I would call this a win,

927
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:42,472
for you and the American people.

928
00:42:42,516 --> 00:42:44,997
Because look it,
at the end of the day,

929
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,565
the F-40's an excellent plane.
