43
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:13,002
have begun calling for
President Sandino to step down,

44

88
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:06,202

does, it'll probably be true,

Absolutely. Yes.
Um, wh-what's involved, exactly?

see how my little girl's doing.

140
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:05,843
Sarah got to the
house this morning

141
00:06:05,887 --> 00:06:07,734
just in time for breakfast.
It's gonna be really great

142
00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:09,760
to spend some time with
her before she ships out.

143
00:06:09,804 --> 00:06:11,414
About that, do...

144
00:06:11,458 --> 00:06:15,505

postponed or, uh, cancelled?

145
00:06:15,549 --> 00:06:18,421
Sure. But I don't think
that'll be the case with Sarah.

146

152
00:06:29,301 --> 00:06:31,216
Most of her patients
will be evac'd in

00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:33,218
from Syria or other
parts of Iraq.

154
00:06:33,262 --> 00:06:35,351
It's highly unlikely
that she'll be

156
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:37,875

00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:42,619
[sighs] Well,
that's got to be hard.

160
00:06:42,663 --> 00:06:44,752
She chose to specialize
in trauma medicine,

161
00:06:44,795 --> 00:06:47,276
and she knew where
she might be deployed,

162
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,199
and she made that brave
and noble choice anyway.

163
00:06:49,234 --> 00:06:52,542

00:07:01,464 --> 00:07:02,770
to change her orders? Please?

353
00:14:11,285 --> 00:14:13,156
what we believe to be

354
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,550
a covert listening
post in-country.

355
00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:16,986
Unbelievable.

356
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:19,684
It's like we're fighting
the Cold War all over again.

357
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,948
WARE: The current
political instability

358
00:14:21,991 --> 00:14:23,950
could prove perfect cover

359
00:14:23,993 --> 00:14:26,909
for us to counter
Russian influence

360
00:14:26,953 --> 00:14:29,346
by increasing our own
intelligence assets

361
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:30,782
on the ground.

362
00:14:30,826 --> 00:14:32,393
What are you suggesting?

363
00:14:32,436 --> 00:14:34,090
That we send in CIA

364
00:14:34,134 --> 00:14:35,807
to train these protesters
in guerrilla warfare?

365
00:14:35,831 --> 00:14:37,722
BECKER: Our adversaries are
exploiting the chaos, sir.

366
00:14:37,746 --> 00:14:39,704
So should we.

367
00:14:39,748 --> 00:14:41,271
Let me be perfectly clear.

368
00:14:41,315 --> 00:14:44,361
We are not going back to
the CIA Cold War playbook

369
00:14:44,405 --> 00:14:46,407
for Nicaragua or anywhere else.

370
00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:48,931
Those people down there
are not our puppets.

371
00:14:48,975 --> 00:14:50,324
Well, I-I think

372
00:14:50,367 --> 00:14:52,892
the most important thing
right now is that we get

373
00:14:52,935 --> 00:14:55,155
as many people out of that
church alive as possible.

374
00:14:55,198 --> 00:14:58,375
And, sir,
maybe you would reconsider

375
00:14:58,419 --> 00:14:59,986
instituting the travel ban,

376
00:15:00,029 --> 00:15:04,904
or any other financial means
necessary to force Sandino

377
00:15:04,947 --> 00:15:07,080
to negotiate with us before...

378
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:09,517
well, before it's too late.

379
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,519
Do it, Bess.

380
00:15:11,562 --> 00:15:13,564
That'll be all.

381
00:15:18,352 --> 00:15:20,354
[sighs]

382
00:15:21,746 --> 00:15:25,315
Good news. You're already up
to 6,000 followers on Twitter.

383
00:15:25,359 --> 00:15:26,403
I'm so happy.

384
00:15:26,447 --> 00:15:28,231
Got a sec to approve some posts

385
00:15:28,275 --> 00:15:30,842
that are a bit more
on the fun side?

386
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:32,540
Absolutely.

387
00:15:32,583 --> 00:15:34,716
The president of
Nicaragua is threatening

388
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:37,110
to commit mass
murder in a church,

389
00:15:37,153 --> 00:15:38,981
and the ghouls in
Congress are plotting

390
00:15:39,025 --> 00:15:41,636
to take away health care for
millions of children, but sure.

391
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:43,986
Seems like the perfect
time to tell the world

392
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:46,946
@RealRussJackson has a
new set of golf clubs

393
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:48,643
he just can't wait to try.

394
00:15:48,686 --> 00:15:51,428
You do? So, yeah. You know what?

395
00:15:51,472 --> 00:15:53,778
You're right.
We can circle back on this later.

396
00:15:53,822 --> 00:15:55,389
Adele, I'm going off the grid

397
00:15:55,432 --> 00:15:57,391
for ten minutes. Look, just

398
00:15:57,434 --> 00:15:58,392
post whatever.

399
00:15:58,435 --> 00:16:00,437
I'm sure it's fine.

400
00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:03,788
Going off the grid?

401
00:16:03,832 --> 00:16:07,009
He's gonna go watch the Panda
Cam from the National Zoo.

402
00:16:07,053 --> 00:16:08,532
Helps his blood pressure.

403
00:16:08,576 --> 00:16:10,708
Wait. That's real?

404
00:16:10,752 --> 00:16:12,058
He really does that?

405
00:16:12,101 --> 00:16:14,364
He contains multitudes.

406
00:16:16,410 --> 00:16:17,846
What is happening?

407
00:16:17,889 --> 00:16:19,239
Everybody's working together?

408
00:16:19,282 --> 00:16:20,762
That is a nice surprise.

409
00:16:20,805 --> 00:16:23,373
Sarah McCord, you're a good
influence on your cousins.

410
00:16:23,417 --> 00:16:24,461
Oh.Seriously, Dad.

411
00:16:24,505 --> 00:16:26,028
Does it look like
Jason's helping?

412
00:16:26,072 --> 00:16:27,595
Well... The attitude

413
00:16:27,638 --> 00:16:29,442
isn't helping.
HENRY: Elizabeth apologizes, by the way;

414
00:16:29,466 --> 00:16:30,902
she's not gonna
make it for dinner.

415
00:16:30,946 --> 00:16:32,948
She's stuck at work.
What else is new? Oh.

416
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,950
So, how was your day?

417
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:39,215
Oh, it was great. Alison treated
me to a much-needed spa day.

418
00:16:39,259 --> 00:16:41,304
I doubt I'm gonna
have very much time

419
00:16:41,348 --> 00:16:43,002
for pampering in the Green Zone.

420
00:16:43,045 --> 00:16:45,221
ALISON: But I will
send you care packages,

421
00:16:45,265 --> 00:16:47,223
just the same.[phone
chimes, Stevie gasps]

422
00:16:47,267 --> 00:16:50,487
Russell's Twitter just
reached 10,000 followers!

423
00:16:50,531 --> 00:16:52,489
HENRY: Isn't Russell
just a little

424
00:16:52,533 --> 00:16:54,622
hotheaded to be trusted with
his own Twitter account?

425
00:16:54,665 --> 00:16:56,102
ALISON: Well, Dad,
no one important

426
00:16:56,145 --> 00:16:57,494
manages their own social media.

427
00:16:57,538 --> 00:16:59,018
Yeah. Check it out. So,

428
00:16:59,061 --> 00:17:00,584
his feed really
started blowing up

429
00:17:00,628 --> 00:17:03,152
after the National Zoo
retweeted this post

430
00:17:03,196 --> 00:17:05,589
that I wrote about
their Panda Cam.

431
00:17:05,633 --> 00:17:07,330
"Happy Birthday, Bei Bei!!

432
00:17:07,374 --> 00:17:09,158
"Love watching this
little guy grow up

433
00:17:09,202 --> 00:17:10,290
"live via the @nationalzoo.

434
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:12,509
Giant Panda Cam!!"

435
00:17:12,553 --> 00:17:13,945
Birthday cake, birthday cake,

436
00:17:13,989 --> 00:17:17,297
balloons, smiley face
with heart eyes?[laughs]

437
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:20,822
Yeah, Russell is definitely
not managing that himself.

438
00:17:20,865 --> 00:17:23,129
JASON: You know,
students are being killed

439
00:17:23,172 --> 00:17:25,914
for opposing a corrupt
dictator in Nicaragua.

440
00:17:25,957 --> 00:17:28,134
You want to maybe
tweet about that?

441
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:30,460
Have you seen the latest Bethany
James video? Here, look at this.

442
00:17:30,484 --> 00:17:34,531
BETHANY: Hour six, and we've triaged
the wounded as best we can, but

443
00:17:34,575 --> 00:17:38,361
we're low on supplies and people
with actual medical training.

444
00:17:38,405 --> 00:17:42,322
It's possible that not everyone
here will survive the night.

445
00:17:42,365 --> 00:17:46,065
But the resistance will not be
intimidated, right, Oscar?

446
00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:49,633
The people of Nicaragua elected
a president, not a dictator.

447
00:17:49,677 --> 00:17:51,809
We will not yield.[cheering]

448
00:17:51,853 --> 00:17:53,985
Kind of makes me feel guilty
about going to college

449
00:17:54,029 --> 00:17:55,572
instead of, you know,
actually getting out

450
00:17:55,596 --> 00:17:57,206
and changing the world.

451
00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:59,271
I mean, this whole generation of McCords...
we're all just kind of

452
00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:00,577
sell-outs. Sorry.
Well, I think that might be a little...

453
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:01,558
STEVIE: Hey! Excuse me.

454
00:18:01,602 --> 00:18:03,125
I just work in the White House.

455
00:18:03,169 --> 00:18:05,214
ALISON: Yeah,
Sarah's about to get out there,

456
00:18:05,258 --> 00:18:07,477
and save lives and kick ass.

457
00:18:07,521 --> 00:18:09,131
That's pretty cool.

458
00:18:09,175 --> 00:18:11,916
Look, seriously,
please don't put me on a pedestal,

459
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,136
or them, either, okay?

460
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:16,443
Because based on the
conditions I just saw,

461
00:18:16,486 --> 00:18:18,967
that girl Bethany is
right about one thing.

462
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:22,057
Some of her friends
will definitelydie.

463
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:24,886
And assuming she survives,

464
00:18:24,929 --> 00:18:27,149
she's gonna have to
live with the fact

465
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:29,934
that she and her beliefs
failed to save them.

466
00:18:29,978 --> 00:18:32,676
So what part of that is cool,

467
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,678
exactly?

468
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:41,337
Sorry. I'm...

469
00:18:41,381 --> 00:18:44,514
I didn't mean to snap like that.
I...

470
00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:47,082
Getting organized to
leave is really hectic.

471
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,258
And I guess

472
00:18:49,302 --> 00:18:51,086
it's just making me tense.

473
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:53,523
[sighs] So...

474
00:18:53,567 --> 00:18:55,525
should I set the table?

475
00:18:55,569 --> 00:18:56,744
That'd be great. SARAH: Yeah.

476
00:18:56,787 --> 00:18:58,528
Uh, Jason, give her a
hand, would you?

477
00:18:58,572 --> 00:19:01,009
ELIZABETH: How did
it go with the calls

478
00:19:01,052 --> 00:19:02,619
with the families
of the missionaries?

479
00:19:02,663 --> 00:19:05,361
Better than my Skype call
with their new lawyer.

480
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:08,930
She's publicly calling for the U.S.
to take stronger actions

481
00:19:08,973 --> 00:19:10,758
against the
Nicaraguan government.

482
00:19:10,801 --> 00:19:13,413
Well, at least President Sandino
finally agreed to take my call.

483
00:19:13,456 --> 00:19:16,416
I'm sorry this turned out to
be such a late night, ma'am.

484
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:18,592
I know you wanted to spend
time with your niece.

485
00:19:18,635 --> 00:19:20,159
No, I'm sorry for you.

486
00:19:20,202 --> 00:19:23,466
I-I heard you had to cancel
a hot date up in New York?

487
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,728
It's no big deal.

488
00:19:24,772 --> 00:19:26,513
I warned Annelies
this could happen.

489
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:27,644
Comes with the job.

490
00:19:27,688 --> 00:19:29,429
Well, you're being very stoic.

491
00:19:29,472 --> 00:19:31,213
That's his thing now, so...

492
00:19:31,257 --> 00:19:33,215
NINA: Madam Secretary,
I have President Sandino

493
00:19:33,259 --> 00:19:34,390
on the line for you now.

494
00:19:34,434 --> 00:19:36,523
Thank you, Nina.[beeps]

495
00:19:36,566 --> 00:19:38,481
President Sandino,

496
00:19:38,525 --> 00:19:40,396
thank you for speaking with me.

497
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,225
I am sorry that
this call had to be

498
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:44,420
under such dire circumstances.

499
00:19:44,444 --> 00:19:45,836
If you mean

500
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,535
the terrorist coup that
is threatening my country,

501
00:19:48,578 --> 00:19:50,276
then I am sure you'll understand

502
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:52,452
I'm a little busy right
now, Secretary McCord.

503
00:19:52,495 --> 00:19:55,237
You keep calling
them "terrorists,"

504
00:19:55,281 --> 00:19:58,588
but the social media
videos being posted

505
00:19:58,632 --> 00:20:02,810
from inside that church show...
a group of scared kids.

506
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:05,421
If you send in a negotiator

507
00:20:05,465 --> 00:20:08,642
to guarantee safe passage for
the wounded and due process

508
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:11,993
for anyone arrested,
um, I'm confident

509
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:14,822
this situation could be resolved
without further violence.

510
00:20:14,865 --> 00:20:17,303
Is that what the U.S. would do?

511
00:20:17,346 --> 00:20:20,044
Hmm? Negotiate with terrorists?

512
00:20:20,088 --> 00:20:22,656
President Sandino,
as I'm sure you're aware,

513
00:20:22,699 --> 00:20:24,658
there are 14
American missionaries

514
00:20:24,701 --> 00:20:26,660
also trapped in that church.

515
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:28,749
We want them back.

516
00:20:28,792 --> 00:20:30,533
Or what?

517
00:20:30,577 --> 00:20:32,622
Like my father before me,

518
00:20:32,666 --> 00:20:35,495
I refuse to be
bullied by the U.S.

519
00:20:35,538 --> 00:20:38,628
From what I understand,
your father is currently undergoing

520
00:20:38,672 --> 00:20:42,763
medical treatment in Florida.

521
00:20:42,806 --> 00:20:45,200
Isn't it time we learn
to work together?

522
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:48,464
You lost that chance when
your CIA murdered my mother.

523
00:20:48,508 --> 00:20:51,989
We alone shall handle
our internal affairs

524
00:20:52,033 --> 00:20:54,601
as we see fit.

525
00:20:54,644 --> 00:20:56,646
[beeps]

526
00:20:58,692 --> 00:21:02,435
Get me the CIA files on
Sandino and his father.

527
00:21:02,478 --> 00:21:05,307
Maybe if I understand
better what happened to them

528
00:21:05,351 --> 00:21:07,657
in Nicaragua's first civil war,

529
00:21:07,701 --> 00:21:09,659
I can find a way to
stave off a second.

530
00:21:09,703 --> 00:21:11,226
Yes, ma'am. Okay? Thank you.

531
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:13,402
Yeah. I just took a
call from Ephraim Ware.

532
00:21:13,446 --> 00:21:15,293
Intelligence has clocked a
group of Chinese operatives

533
00:21:15,317 --> 00:21:17,145
that they believe
might be a hit squad

534
00:21:17,188 --> 00:21:19,016
entering Nicaragua
through Costa Rica.

535
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:21,192
I guess maybe China's decided

536
00:21:21,236 --> 00:21:23,891
that Sandino is bad
for business after all.

537
00:21:31,855 --> 00:21:32,987
ELIZABETH: So,

538
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:35,642
what do you think is
going on with Sarah?

539
00:21:35,685 --> 00:21:38,862
You think maybe seeing
all those wounded people

540
00:21:38,906 --> 00:21:42,213
near to her own age...
Maybe that's shaken her up?

541
00:21:42,257 --> 00:21:44,738
Could be.
I didn't want to get into it

542
00:21:44,781 --> 00:21:46,043
in front of the kids.

543
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:48,437
You know,
maybe Shane's right to worry.

544
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:51,222
I feel like I should talk to
her, but honestly,

545
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:52,789
I don't know what to say.

546
00:21:52,833 --> 00:21:55,618
I mean, when I deployed,
it was to potentially take lives,

547
00:21:55,662 --> 00:21:57,620
and Sarah's going
in to save them.

548
00:21:57,664 --> 00:22:01,145
Maybe you just need to let her
know that you're there for her.

549
00:22:01,189 --> 00:22:04,148
Maybe I should take
her to see Will.

550
00:22:04,192 --> 00:22:05,802
Ooh, I don't know about that.

551
00:22:05,846 --> 00:22:07,456
Why?

552
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,197
He's been in combat zones.

553
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,242
Heck,
he teaches trauma medicine.

554
00:22:11,286 --> 00:22:13,027
He's bound to have
some good advice.

555
00:22:14,071 --> 00:22:15,856
I love my brother.

556
00:22:15,899 --> 00:22:18,380
But he's got a very particular

557
00:22:18,424 --> 00:22:19,816
take on things.

558
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:23,385
And how it's going to
land on other people...

559
00:22:23,429 --> 00:22:26,257
isn't usually much of a
factor in his thinking.

560
00:22:26,301 --> 00:22:27,650
[phone buzzes]

561
00:22:27,694 --> 00:22:29,324
I've got to do something;
I feel a responsibility

562
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,306
to Shane and Sarah.

563
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,353
Want to make sure she's in a
good place when she deploys.

564
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:37,486
Yeah, okay, well... [chuckles]

565
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:40,184
Don't, don't...

566
00:22:40,228 --> 00:22:42,273
don't say I didn't warn you.

567
00:22:42,317 --> 00:22:45,625
Well, after you downplayed
my earlier concerns

568
00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:48,497
about Nicaragua,
I was surprised to hear

569
00:22:48,541 --> 00:22:50,978
that a group of Chinese
operatives were spotted

570
00:22:51,021 --> 00:22:53,067
in Costa Rica near
the border today.

571
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,174
CHEN: You grasped
the situation there

572
00:22:54,198 --> 00:22:55,504
more clearly than I.

573
00:22:55,548 --> 00:22:57,593
President Sandino's
behavior has proven to be

574
00:22:57,637 --> 00:23:00,770
unacceptably destabilizing.

575
00:23:00,814 --> 00:23:02,859
To the Nicaraguan people,

576
00:23:02,903 --> 00:23:05,209
or to Chinese investment
in the region?

577
00:23:05,253 --> 00:23:07,429
Pick whichever answer suits you.

578
00:23:07,473 --> 00:23:10,301
If you're saying what I
think you're saying, Ming,

579
00:23:10,345 --> 00:23:13,217
I strongly urge
you to reconsider.

580
00:23:13,261 --> 00:23:15,437
Nicaragua, i-it's...

581
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:17,134
it's a powder keg right now.

582
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:19,441
One stray spark could
ignite a civil war.

583
00:23:19,485 --> 00:23:21,661
That is exactly what
China wishes to avoid.

584
00:23:21,704 --> 00:23:23,793
Well,
then we can still work together

585
00:23:23,837 --> 00:23:26,361
to negotiate with Sandino.

586
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:28,276
Sandino doesn't want to
negotiate, Elizabeth.

587
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:29,669
And neither do I.

588
00:23:29,712 --> 00:23:31,714
If the U.S.
cannot bring him to heel,

589
00:23:31,758 --> 00:23:33,934
then China will do what it must.

590
00:23:33,977 --> 00:23:36,066
At least try and buy me
a little bit more time.

591
00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:37,720
I'll do what I can.

592
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:40,027
Good night, Madam Secretary.

593
00:23:42,682 --> 00:23:45,467
Morning...

594
00:23:45,511 --> 00:23:47,774
What is that doing here?

595
00:23:47,817 --> 00:23:49,166
It's a gift for Russell.

596
00:23:49,210 --> 00:23:51,212
From Carlos Morejon.

597
00:23:51,255 --> 00:23:54,258
RUSSELL: Stevie! Get in here.

598
00:23:56,086 --> 00:23:57,174
Bring the bear.

599
00:24:05,487 --> 00:24:08,011
Is this all from
Senator Morejon?[sighs]

600
00:24:08,055 --> 00:24:10,274
Thanks to your little
social media stunt,

601
00:24:10,318 --> 00:24:12,494
half the city is mocking me.

602
00:24:14,104 --> 00:24:15,454
Okay.

603
00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:17,412
I didn't see this coming.

604
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,240
Um...

605
00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:21,242
On the plus side,
you're-you're trending

606
00:24:21,285 --> 00:24:23,374
with-with normal, uh...

607
00:24:23,418 --> 00:24:25,594
non-political...

608
00:24:25,638 --> 00:24:26,987
panda-loving Americans.

609
00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:29,032
Fat lot of good that does
the millions of children

610
00:24:29,076 --> 00:24:30,991
about to lose health care.

611
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:32,253
You... [scoffs]

612
00:24:32,296 --> 00:24:35,256
Do you not understand
how my job works?

613
00:24:35,299 --> 00:24:38,389
I can't whip votes if
people in this town

614
00:24:38,433 --> 00:24:40,217
think I'm soft and cuddly.

615
00:24:40,261 --> 00:24:41,654
They have to be afraid of me.

616
00:24:41,697 --> 00:24:43,830
Let me ask you a question.

617
00:24:43,873 --> 00:24:45,396
Are you afraid of me?

618
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,963
A little.

619
00:24:47,007 --> 00:24:49,270
How about now?

620
00:24:49,313 --> 00:24:51,054
I see your point.

621
00:24:51,098 --> 00:24:52,360
Fix this! Yeah.

622
00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:56,930
WILL: Uh, so, Sarah, Henry says

623
00:24:56,973 --> 00:24:59,715
you've got some
pre-deployment jitters.

624
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:03,240
What? N... No.

625
00:25:03,284 --> 00:25:05,329
Uh, I asked Will to join us

626
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:07,549
because I thought it
might be nice for you

627
00:25:07,593 --> 00:25:10,683
to talk to someone who's
had some background

628
00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:12,902
in combat medicine, you
know, in case you have any

629
00:25:12,946 --> 00:25:14,513
last minute questions or...

630
00:25:14,556 --> 00:25:16,558
concerns.

631
00:25:16,602 --> 00:25:18,995
[sighs] Look, Uncle Henry,
I know I freaked out

632
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:21,345
for a second last night, but...

633
00:25:21,389 --> 00:25:23,304
I-I'm not afraid.

634
00:25:23,347 --> 00:25:24,697
For yourself.

635
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:25,761
It's the safety of your patients

636
00:25:25,785 --> 00:25:26,742
that you're worried about.

637
00:25:26,786 --> 00:25:28,222
That despite all your training,

638
00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:31,225
when the gurneys
from some IED attack

639
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:32,898
start rolling in,
you won't have what it takes.

640
00:25:32,922 --> 00:25:35,490
Am I right? [sighs]

641
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,579
What if I'm not good enough?

642
00:25:37,623 --> 00:25:42,018
What if a patient dies
because I screwed up?

643
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,672
Well, let me...

644
00:25:43,716 --> 00:25:45,805
let me put your mind at ease.

645
00:25:45,848 --> 00:25:48,503
You are going to screw up,

646
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,461
and some of your patients

647
00:25:50,505 --> 00:25:52,986
are going to die.

648
00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:54,770
Okay, should we just order?

649
00:25:54,814 --> 00:25:56,816
Now, hopefully those two
things won't overlap.

650
00:25:56,859 --> 00:25:59,253
But you can't let fear of either

651
00:25:59,296 --> 00:26:00,515
paralyze you.

652
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,561
Let me...
let me ask you something.

653
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:05,520
When it comes to being a
successful trauma nurse,

654
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:07,348
what do you think the
most important trait

655
00:26:07,391 --> 00:26:08,479
to have is?[exhales]

656
00:26:08,523 --> 00:26:10,351
Training, obviously.

657
00:26:10,394 --> 00:26:12,527
Well, I'm told you were
near the top of your class,

658
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,398
so I'm not worried about training.
What else?

659
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:16,662
Staying cool under pressure.

660
00:26:16,705 --> 00:26:18,533
Hmm, getting warmer. [Chuckles]

661
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,449
And the biggest determinant of
whether or not you'll be able

662
00:26:21,492 --> 00:26:23,538
to stay cool under
pressure is...?

663
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,193
HENRY: Sleep.

664
00:26:26,236 --> 00:26:27,411
Booyah.

665
00:26:28,456 --> 00:26:30,197
How do you sleep, Sarah?

666
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,373
Are you a...
are you a good sleeper?

667
00:26:32,416 --> 00:26:33,785
[chuckles] I can
power down anywhere.

668
00:26:33,809 --> 00:26:36,420
Airplane. Nurses' lounge.
WILL: Wow.

669
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:37,987
Back of a Humvee.

670
00:26:38,031 --> 00:26:39,598
Well, that's great.
Great.Anywhere.

671
00:26:39,641 --> 00:26:41,948
You'll-you'll be fine.

672
00:26:41,991 --> 00:26:44,385
HENRY: Great. Let's order.

673
00:26:44,428 --> 00:26:46,605
WILL: That's it.
That's all I got.

674
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:49,303
[chuckles] The vast
majority of medical errors

675
00:26:49,346 --> 00:26:52,349
happen when the provider is
too tired to think clearly.

676
00:26:52,393 --> 00:26:54,569
So if you don't want
to make mistakes,

677
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:56,571
just get all the sleep you can.

678
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,660
But what if I had told you
I wasn't a good sleeper?

679
00:26:58,704 --> 00:27:01,750
Then I would have said to
take your nursing degree

680
00:27:01,794 --> 00:27:04,710
and-and go work
in a nursing home,

681
00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:07,538
'cause trauma medicine
ain't for you.

682
00:27:10,585 --> 00:27:12,674
Believe it or not,
I find that oddly comforting.

683
00:27:12,718 --> 00:27:14,589
[chuckles]: Yeah.
Oddly comforting.

684
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:15,851
That's me.

685
00:27:17,897 --> 00:27:20,508
So, can we order? SARAH: Yeah.

686
00:27:20,551 --> 00:27:23,163
So, how bummed was Annelies
that you had to cancel on her?

687
00:27:23,206 --> 00:27:25,097
Actually, she took the train to D.C.
this morning

688
00:27:25,121 --> 00:27:26,949
with some chess friends,
do some sightseeing.

689
00:27:26,993 --> 00:27:28,603
If we can get
Sandino to back down,

690
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:30,736
then I'm gonna
meet up with them.

691
00:27:30,779 --> 00:27:32,868
Why don't you sound
happier about that?

692
00:27:32,912 --> 00:27:35,175
Because she's in my city
having a great time,

693
00:27:35,218 --> 00:27:36,437
just not with me. And look.

694
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,917
Look at her Instagram.

695
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,658
Wh-What's the deal
with that guy?

696
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:42,593
He's got his arm around
her in every picture.

697
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:43,879
BLAKE: Big arm.

698
00:27:43,923 --> 00:27:46,839
Okay, buddy,
speaking from personal experience,

699
00:27:46,882 --> 00:27:48,884
do not go there.

700
00:27:50,451 --> 00:27:52,453
Any update from
inside the church?

701
00:27:52,496 --> 00:27:54,281
BLAKE: Yes. It's not good.
Bethany James

702
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:55,586
just posted another video.

703
00:27:55,630 --> 00:27:58,851
Four of the wounded have
died since last night.

704
00:27:58,894 --> 00:28:00,174
They are running dangerously low

705
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,593
on food and water,
medical supplies.

706
00:28:02,637 --> 00:28:04,726
And the Chinese hit squad?

707
00:28:04,770 --> 00:28:06,293
JAY: Laying low.

708
00:28:06,336 --> 00:28:08,445
Maybe knowing that we had eyes
on them slowed their roll.

709
00:28:08,469 --> 00:28:10,253
Sounds like Chen was
able to talk some sense

710
00:28:10,297 --> 00:28:11,428
into President Li.

711
00:28:11,472 --> 00:28:13,735
Any ideas in Sandino's CIA file?

712
00:28:13,779 --> 00:28:15,563
Maybe one.

713
00:28:15,606 --> 00:28:17,608
I got to talk to the president.

714
00:28:23,876 --> 00:28:25,355
[birds chattering]

715
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,361
[panting]

716
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,370
[grunts]

717
00:28:44,635 --> 00:28:48,465
State Department
Political Officer

718
00:28:48,509 --> 00:28:50,990
Conrad Dalton, I've always been

719
00:28:51,033 --> 00:28:53,557
so puzzled by your title.

720
00:28:53,601 --> 00:28:55,603
Tell me,

721
00:28:55,646 --> 00:28:57,474
when the State
Department returns

722
00:28:57,518 --> 00:28:59,955
your dismembered
corpse to Washington,

723
00:28:59,999 --> 00:29:01,348
will they go
through the pretense

724
00:29:01,391 --> 00:29:03,916
of holding a memorial,

725
00:29:03,959 --> 00:29:07,441
or will that fall to
your comrades at the CIA?

726
00:29:07,484 --> 00:29:08,921
President Sandino,

727
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:11,445
I came here to tell you that
the attempt on your life

728
00:29:11,488 --> 00:29:13,839
wasn't sanctioned by the U.S.
government.

729
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:16,972
It would be unwise to
insult my intelligence.

730
00:29:17,016 --> 00:29:20,236
You know we've been in contact
with some of the rebel cells,

731
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,238
but that bombing should
never have happened.

732
00:29:22,282 --> 00:29:24,893
For whatever part we
might have played,

733
00:29:24,937 --> 00:29:29,506
both my government and I
personally am truly sorry.

734
00:29:29,550 --> 00:29:31,813
I will tell that to my son

735
00:29:31,857 --> 00:29:35,556
when he's crying at night
for his dead mother.

736
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:36,707
I know there's
nothing I can ever do

737
00:29:36,731 --> 00:29:37,819
to make this right for you.

738
00:29:37,863 --> 00:29:40,169
Or your son.

739
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:42,432
But we still have the
power to save Nicaragua

740
00:29:42,476 --> 00:29:44,652
from more violence.

741
00:29:44,695 --> 00:29:46,064
If you publicly start
to distance yourself

742
00:29:46,088 --> 00:29:48,090
from the Soviet Union and
announce your willingness

743
00:29:48,134 --> 00:29:49,439
to work with the
United States...

744
00:29:49,483 --> 00:29:51,050
With the United States?
I believe

745
00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:52,636
my government will back yours.
You train rebels over our border.

746
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:54,618
You mine our harbor. I believe

747
00:29:54,662 --> 00:29:58,274
I can convince my
government to back yours.

748
00:29:58,318 --> 00:30:00,929
Your country has been the
source of my country's misery

749
00:30:00,973 --> 00:30:02,191
for a hundred years.

750
00:30:02,235 --> 00:30:04,367
Together we can
end this conflict

751
00:30:04,411 --> 00:30:06,979
before it spirals
out of control.

752
00:30:07,022 --> 00:30:08,502
Please.

753
00:30:08,545 --> 00:30:10,634
You see this man right here?

754
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:13,072
[chuckles]

755
00:30:13,115 --> 00:30:15,596
He thinks I should kill you.

756
00:30:15,639 --> 00:30:17,685
And so does this one over here.

757
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:20,427
They all think

758
00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:24,344
that I should chop you
to pieces with my machete

759
00:30:24,387 --> 00:30:26,278
and dump your corpse in
front of the U.S. Embassy

760
00:30:26,302 --> 00:30:28,261
to send the message

761
00:30:28,304 --> 00:30:30,872
that this is what war with
Nicaragua will look like!

762
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:36,486
But this... this is not

763
00:30:36,530 --> 00:30:39,141
the kind of leader that I
want to be for my people.

764
00:30:39,185 --> 00:30:41,665
Or the kind of parent

765
00:30:41,709 --> 00:30:44,059
that I want to be for my son.

766
00:30:44,103 --> 00:30:46,148
And I want you to deliver

767
00:30:46,192 --> 00:30:48,107
a message to your government:

768
00:30:48,150 --> 00:30:52,024
that I will never stop
fighting for my country!

769
00:30:55,941 --> 00:30:57,899
[grunts]

770
00:30:57,943 --> 00:31:01,076
ELIZABETH: I knew that you
were in Nicaragua in the '80s,

771
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,296
but until I read the
file, I had no idea

772
00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:05,472
that you attempted to
negotiate with Sandino

773
00:31:05,515 --> 00:31:07,430
after the assassination attempt.

774
00:31:07,474 --> 00:31:09,389
Not that it did any good.

775
00:31:09,432 --> 00:31:10,825
[scoffs]

776
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:13,480
It was courageous.

777
00:31:13,523 --> 00:31:15,264
It was futile.

778
00:31:15,308 --> 00:31:17,310
The civil war raged on,

779
00:31:17,353 --> 00:31:19,965
cost the lives of
tens of thousands

780
00:31:20,008 --> 00:31:21,140
of Nicaraguans.

781
00:31:21,183 --> 00:31:24,099
Still, you were right

782
00:31:24,143 --> 00:31:28,190
to believe that he was a
leader to be reasoned with.

783
00:31:28,234 --> 00:31:31,019
Despite constant
undermining by the U.S.,

784
00:31:31,063 --> 00:31:33,456
he managed to do some
good for his people.

785
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,982
And when he lost an
election, he gave up power.

786
00:31:37,025 --> 00:31:39,027
More than I can say
for a lot of the folks

787
00:31:39,071 --> 00:31:41,203
we backed in the region.

788
00:31:42,204 --> 00:31:45,512
There were no easy answers then.

789
00:31:45,555 --> 00:31:48,384
Take yourself back
to the Cold War.

790
00:31:48,428 --> 00:31:51,910
Deaths under Stalin
and Mao and Pol Pot,

791
00:31:51,953 --> 00:31:54,521
either by privation
or outright murder,

792
00:31:54,564 --> 00:31:57,263
numbered in the
hundreds of millions.

793
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:58,829
How could we not push back?

794
00:31:58,873 --> 00:32:01,049
True enough.

795
00:32:02,050 --> 00:32:03,356
But my God,

796
00:32:03,399 --> 00:32:06,011
did we make some awful
mistakes along the way.

797
00:32:06,054 --> 00:32:09,188
Myself included. I mean...

798
00:32:09,231 --> 00:32:11,930
Sandino Jr. might not have
turned out to be such a monster

799
00:32:11,973 --> 00:32:15,107
if his mother hadn't
been killed on my watch.

800
00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:18,327
I understand
second-guessing the past,

801
00:32:18,371 --> 00:32:23,637
but we are on the verge of
a disaster in Nicaragua now.

802
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,641
Sandino Jr.
is showing no sign of backing down.

803
00:32:27,684 --> 00:32:30,905
And when the country
finally implodes,

804
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:33,299
you can bet Russia and China
will be ready to swoop in

805
00:32:33,342 --> 00:32:35,562
and capitalize on the chaos.

806
00:32:35,605 --> 00:32:40,523
So then,
we let CIA off the leash.

807
00:32:40,567 --> 00:32:43,613
And on and on it goes.

808
00:32:43,657 --> 00:32:48,053
I get that this must
feel like déjà vu,

809
00:32:48,096 --> 00:32:52,100
but you still have a chance
to break the cycle, Conrad.

810
00:32:57,453 --> 00:33:00,848
And how would I do that?

811
00:33:00,891 --> 00:33:03,068
[indistinct chatter]

812
00:33:03,111 --> 00:33:04,678
What's going on here?

813
00:33:04,721 --> 00:33:08,334
Cancer survivors,
here for a photo op with POTUS...

814
00:33:08,377 --> 00:33:11,076
Ah... to help drum up support for
the children's health care bill.

815
00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:13,817
Now that I'm tainted
by Pandagate,

816
00:33:13,861 --> 00:33:16,124
we have to stoop to
emotional manipulation.

817
00:33:16,168 --> 00:33:18,344
Hey, mister.

818
00:33:18,387 --> 00:33:20,128
Aren't you the Panda Cam man?

819
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:24,045
I guess that's me.

820
00:33:24,089 --> 00:33:25,438
I love pandas, too.

821
00:33:25,481 --> 00:33:27,266
Bei Bei is my favorite.

822
00:33:27,309 --> 00:33:29,529
Can I take a selfie with you?

823
00:33:31,574 --> 00:33:36,840
Actually, um... come with me.

824
00:33:38,277 --> 00:33:40,496
[speaking indistinctly]

825
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:41,715
[camera shutter clicking]

826
00:33:41,758 --> 00:33:43,499
There we go.

827
00:33:43,543 --> 00:33:47,416
I hope I'm not imposing but,
it would mean the world to her

828
00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:49,462
if you'd post that
picture on Instagram.

829
00:33:49,505 --> 00:33:50,724
Please?

830
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,465
Absolutely. Uh, uh,

831
00:33:52,508 --> 00:33:54,945
this is Stevie,
my social media director.

832
00:33:54,989 --> 00:33:57,122
Just give her your Instagram...

833
00:33:57,165 --> 00:33:59,733
[mouthing]...handle,
and she'll...

834
00:33:59,776 --> 00:34:02,083
tag you. [chuckles]: Okay?

835
00:34:02,127 --> 00:34:03,650
Thanks, Mr. Panda.

836
00:34:27,152 --> 00:34:29,328
[exhales]

837
00:34:29,371 --> 00:34:30,981
Conrad Dalton,

838
00:34:31,025 --> 00:34:34,115
you always seem to come calling
when it's already too late.

839
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:38,337
You once told me you would never
stop fighting for your country.

840
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:40,730
I hope that's still true.

841
00:34:46,388 --> 00:34:48,825
An old piece of shrapnel

842
00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:50,392
was migrating towards my heart.

843
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:52,742
Luckily,
they were able to remove it

844
00:34:52,786 --> 00:34:54,222
without much trouble.

845
00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:56,094
I am truly sorry

846
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:58,835
for everything you went
through that day, Mateo.

847
00:34:58,879 --> 00:35:00,576
And for everything
the Nicaraguan people

848
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:02,012
went through afterwards.

849
00:35:02,056 --> 00:35:05,799
I know what you want from me,

850
00:35:05,842 --> 00:35:07,888
but I cannot help you.

851
00:35:07,931 --> 00:35:09,803
My son...

852
00:35:09,846 --> 00:35:13,023
he keeps his own counsel now.

853
00:35:13,067 --> 00:35:14,677
I understand that.

854
00:35:14,721 --> 00:35:17,158
I have a son, too. Harrison.

855
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:20,727
He's battled addiction
since high school.

856
00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:22,555
It's devastating
to watch a child

857
00:35:22,598 --> 00:35:25,819
you raised and love going
down such a destructive path.

858
00:35:25,862 --> 00:35:28,822
I was so proud of my son

859
00:35:28,865 --> 00:35:31,303
when he was elected president.

860
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:36,046
I thought he would finish
the work that I started.

861
00:35:36,090 --> 00:35:38,919
But now it seems he's becoming

862
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:41,530
the sort of dictator
I fought to overthrow.

863
00:35:41,574 --> 00:35:45,534
And you fought too hard and
suffered too much for Nicaragua

864
00:35:45,578 --> 00:35:47,362
for that to be its fate.

865
00:35:47,406 --> 00:35:48,537
Please,

866
00:35:48,581 --> 00:35:50,539
for the sake of your people,

867
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:52,324
talk to your son.

868
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:55,414
I have been out of
my son's inner circle

869
00:35:55,457 --> 00:35:57,851
for many years.

870
00:35:57,894 --> 00:36:01,289
I don't even know if
he would listen to me.

871
00:36:01,333 --> 00:36:04,249
Well, I wasn't sure
you would listen to me,

872
00:36:04,292 --> 00:36:07,295
but here we are.

873
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:11,952
MATT: I don't know
why you're being

874
00:36:11,995 --> 00:36:13,867
so coy, Jay. I don't get it.
Hey, guys.

875
00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:15,453
Thanks for coming in on a Saturday.
Good morning.

876
00:36:15,477 --> 00:36:16,957
And Chloe's here! Hi!

877
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,046
Hi, M-Sec![laughter]

878
00:36:19,089 --> 00:36:21,831
Okay,
that does make things better.

879
00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:24,443
Tell us you got to spend some
time with Annelies last night.

880
00:36:24,486 --> 00:36:25,705
I got home a little late.

881
00:36:25,748 --> 00:36:27,315
Her train leaves
in a couple hours.

882
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:28,664
Sorry, buddy. It's fine.

883
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:30,840
Uh, ma'am,
so I take it that the president's

884
00:36:30,884 --> 00:36:33,974
overture to Sandino Sr.
Was unsuccessful?

885
00:36:34,017 --> 00:36:35,323
Actually,

886
00:36:35,367 --> 00:36:38,239
President Dalton was able
to convince Sandino Sr.

887
00:36:38,283 --> 00:36:42,156
To reach out to his son,

888
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,203
but Junior wasn't
willing to blink.

889
00:36:45,246 --> 00:36:47,335
President Sandino
refused to negotiate

890
00:36:47,379 --> 00:36:49,555
with his own father? Yeah. Hmm.

891
00:36:49,598 --> 00:36:50,860
So he's going full despot.

892
00:36:50,904 --> 00:36:52,427
So,

893
00:36:52,471 --> 00:36:56,344
if anyone has any great
idea in their back pocket

894
00:36:56,388 --> 00:36:59,521
on preventing an
incipient massacre, boy,

895
00:36:59,565 --> 00:37:02,002
would be a great time to share.

896
00:37:04,309 --> 00:37:06,224
Wait, ma'am,

897
00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:08,356
you have to see this.

898
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,315
Development in Nicaragua today.

899
00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:13,318
Former President
Mateo Sandino Sr.

900
00:37:13,361 --> 00:37:15,407
Came out in support
of protesters

901
00:37:15,450 --> 00:37:17,017
trapped inside a church

902
00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:19,324
and against the country's
current president,

903
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:20,847
his own son.

904
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:22,370
JOURNALIST: Señor Presidente...

905
00:37:22,414 --> 00:37:23,371
You guys, are you watching...
TRANSLATOR: Mr. President,

906
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:25,112
Oh, you are.
Do you have any message

907
00:37:25,155 --> 00:37:27,114
for the current president?

908
00:37:27,157 --> 00:37:29,682
If my son wishes to talk,

909
00:37:29,725 --> 00:37:31,597
he knows where to find me,

910
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,208
here,
with the Nicaraguan people.

911
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:36,123
Today and always.

912
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:39,126
My God, will you look at that?

913
00:37:39,169 --> 00:37:40,345
Por favor...

914
00:37:40,388 --> 00:37:43,391
Please, let us pass.

915
00:37:44,523 --> 00:37:46,829
Yeah, major news outlets

916
00:37:46,873 --> 00:37:48,483
are picking this up
all over the world.

917
00:37:48,527 --> 00:37:50,311
Sandino Jr.
will never be able to spin this

918
00:37:50,355 --> 00:37:51,530
as a terrorist incident now.

919
00:37:51,573 --> 00:37:53,358
He won't risk opening
fire on that church

920
00:37:53,401 --> 00:37:55,098
with a beloved
national hero inside.

921
00:37:55,142 --> 00:37:57,579
So, it's over?
Well, um, we still

922
00:37:57,623 --> 00:38:00,495
have to closely monitor
the situation until

923
00:38:00,539 --> 00:38:02,062
all those missionaries are

924
00:38:02,105 --> 00:38:04,804
safely back on U.S.
soil, but it is

925
00:38:04,847 --> 00:38:09,374
no longer an "all hands
on deck" situation.

926
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,463
[Matt clears throat]

927
00:38:11,506 --> 00:38:13,247
What?

928
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:14,529
Imminent crisis averted, man.Go.

929
00:38:14,553 --> 00:38:15,921
Hope has been restored.
Go! Get out of here.

930
00:38:15,945 --> 00:38:17,904
I got Chloe. Oh, Chloe,

931
00:38:17,947 --> 00:38:19,577
how would you feel about
hanging out with me

932
00:38:19,601 --> 00:38:21,386
for a while? Right? Ooh.

933
00:38:21,429 --> 00:38:23,344
Are you serious? Now...
Oh, yeah, I am.

934
00:38:23,388 --> 00:38:25,433
'Cause I still got it.
[chuckles]

935
00:38:25,477 --> 00:38:27,348
I mean,
what are you waiting for?

936
00:38:27,392 --> 00:38:29,350
I appreciate it, ma'am.
Seriously. Guys,

937
00:38:29,394 --> 00:38:31,265
I-I really do.
But I think it's pretty clear

938
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,572
that I don't have space to date.
And even if I did,

939
00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:35,791
what if...
what if we don't really have a spark

940
00:38:35,835 --> 00:38:37,837
between us and I'm just
romanticizing a night

941
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,708
stuck in an airport,
of all places?

942
00:38:39,752 --> 00:38:40,927
Do you have to work

943
00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:42,363
at being this pitiful?
Okay. What?

944
00:38:42,407 --> 00:38:43,775
[laughs] I mean...
This may be the first time

945
00:38:43,799 --> 00:38:46,019
I utter these words
in this office.

946
00:38:46,062 --> 00:38:47,412
Stop thinking! Please.

947
00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:49,588
Just go! You'll never know

948
00:38:49,631 --> 00:38:51,511
until you try.
And you'll know when you see her.

949
00:38:51,546 --> 00:38:53,592
Just... come on.
Like, right now. She's leaving

950
00:38:53,635 --> 00:38:54,960
in two hours, Jay.Go.
Get out of here.

951
00:38:54,984 --> 00:38:56,159
Go, Jay! Go!

952
00:38:56,203 --> 00:38:57,160
Honey?

Yay! Bye! Bye. I love you!

[knocking at door]

957

Yeah.[door opens]

958
00:39:07,475 --> 00:39:09,042
You wanted to see me?

959
00:39:09,085 --> 00:39:10,739
Sit.

960
00:39:13,176 --> 00:39:16,484
I'm sure you're wondering why
I called you in on a Saturday.

961
00:39:16,528 --> 00:39:19,182
Nope. Just happy to be here.

962
00:39:19,226 --> 00:39:21,533
Where I'm hopefully
still welcome.

963
00:39:21,576 --> 00:39:23,622
I noticed that when you
posted the photos of me

964
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:25,580
handing out the
pandas to those kids,

965
00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:29,758
you also tagged the jackals
who sent me the stupid things

966
00:39:29,802 --> 00:39:31,412
in the first place.

967
00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:33,371
It made me furious.

968
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,416
Sorry.

969
00:39:35,460 --> 00:39:38,767
I just thought it would be a
good way to generate publicity

970
00:39:38,811 --> 00:39:40,465
for the children's
health care bill.

971
00:39:40,508 --> 00:39:42,031
Well, as it turns out,

972
00:39:42,075 --> 00:39:43,859
you were right.

973
00:39:43,903 --> 00:39:47,123
Parents around the country
put so much pressure

974
00:39:47,167 --> 00:39:48,971
on Morejon and the others,
they were forced to throw

975
00:39:48,995 --> 00:39:50,953
their support behind the bill.

976
00:39:50,997 --> 00:39:53,913
Looks like it's
gonna pass after all.

977
00:39:53,956 --> 00:39:55,436
Really?

978
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,872
It worked.

979
00:39:56,916 --> 00:40:00,398
Worked so well

980
00:40:00,441 --> 00:40:02,530
they even renamed it.

981
00:40:02,574 --> 00:40:04,402
The Pediatric, Adolescent,

982
00:40:04,445 --> 00:40:07,143

Accessibility Act.

983

Wow.

You still got a lot to
learn, Stevie.

987
00:40:17,545 --> 00:40:19,547
But...

988
00:40:19,591 --> 00:40:21,506
you got good instincts,

989
00:40:21,549 --> 00:40:23,048
and that's something
that can't be taught.

990
00:40:23,072 --> 00:40:25,510
So,
I called you in on a Saturday

991
00:40:25,553 --> 00:40:27,903
to thank you for a job well done

992
00:40:27,947 --> 00:40:32,255
and invite you to watch
the floor vote with me.

993
00:40:32,299 --> 00:40:35,737
I would be honored, sir.

994
00:40:35,781 --> 00:40:37,478

And if the old man stays
in his son's good graces,

999
00:40:48,750 --> 00:40:52,493
he might be able to help us
thaw our diplomatic relations

1000

your idea first.

1004

about pulling the wrong
strings this time, but...

1012
00:41:20,565 --> 00:41:23,959
there's no guarantee they
won't consider it again.
