1
00:00:04,787 --> 00:00:06,745
CONTROLLER: Teal-79, flight.

2
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:07,877
Request position.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,662
Teal-79 in block
executing alpha pattern.

4
00:00:10,706 --> 00:00:12,664
Heading 236.

5
00:00:15,624 --> 00:00:17,582
[thunder rumbles]Operational.

6
00:00:17,626 --> 00:00:19,367
ETA to eyewall 30 seconds.

7
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:21,369
CONTROLLER: Roger, Teal-79.

8
00:00:21,412 --> 00:00:23,719
ATC clears Teal-79 operational.

9
00:00:23,762 --> 00:00:25,721
Squawk 20000.

10
00:00:26,983 --> 00:00:28,941
Relax.

11
00:00:28,985 --> 00:00:31,292
This ain't our first cat five.

12
00:00:31,335 --> 00:00:34,034
Yeah, but they don't make
them like they used to.

13
00:00:35,122 --> 00:00:36,862
We have good transmit.

14
00:00:36,906 --> 00:00:38,864
Report status.

15
00:00:38,908 --> 00:00:41,650
Tropopause wind speed 210.
LCLs scraping bottom.

16
00:00:41,693 --> 00:00:43,434
Air pressure...

17
00:00:43,478 --> 00:00:45,175
That can't be right.

18
00:00:45,219 --> 00:00:47,221
Holy crap.

19
00:00:47,264 --> 00:00:49,832
Major, flash traffic to NOAA.

20
00:00:49,875 --> 00:00:51,877
They are not gonna like this.

21
00:00:57,796 --> 00:01:00,103
J'accuse.

22
00:01:00,147 --> 00:01:01,757
Good morning.

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,500
Basement nachos.
Stairwell crackers. Den cookies.

24
00:01:05,543 --> 00:01:06,849
I deny all.

25
00:01:06,892 --> 00:01:08,652
[Elizabeth sighs]Ooh,
is that a wet/dry vac?

26
00:01:08,677 --> 00:01:10,679
Latest model.

27
00:01:15,553 --> 00:01:18,730
For the record,
the nachos were me.Oh.

28
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:21,907
Still, you better be apartment
hunting, Cookie Monster.

29
00:01:21,951 --> 00:01:24,214
[imitating Cookie Monster]: Hunting, yes.
Finding, no.

30
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:26,608
Oh, wait, here's something.

31
00:01:26,651 --> 00:01:28,305
"Coliving creative eco-space

32
00:01:28,349 --> 00:01:30,525
with adult playroom."

33
00:01:30,568 --> 00:01:32,004
Translation?

34
00:01:32,048 --> 00:01:33,112
He's too old to live there.

35
00:01:33,136 --> 00:01:34,355
Ouch, but true.

36
00:01:34,398 --> 00:01:36,966
Hey. Where's the coffee?

37
00:01:37,009 --> 00:01:39,186
Whoops. Good morning, sunshine.

38
00:01:39,229 --> 00:01:41,536
Sorry, government business.
Come on.

39
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:43,799
Oh, God, work is a mess today.

40
00:01:43,842 --> 00:01:45,540
What's up?

41
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:49,152
Super Typhoon Blessing has
record low pressure at sea level

42
00:01:49,196 --> 00:01:51,937
and is now the most powerful
storm in recorded history.

43
00:01:51,981 --> 00:01:53,132
WILL: We're just
gonna whistle past

44
00:01:53,156 --> 00:01:54,418
the irony of the name, huh?

45
00:01:54,462 --> 00:01:56,116
STEVIE: The cone of expectancy

46
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,639
puts it on course for U.S.
territory

47
00:01:57,682 --> 00:01:58,988
in the Marshall Islands.

48
00:01:59,031 --> 00:02:02,034
I have to prep meetings for
NOAA, FEMA, DoD...

49
00:02:02,078 --> 00:02:05,081
It's the same story at State.
I've got OFDA

50
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,562
and USAID in overdrive.

51
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:10,173
Whoa, acronym fight.
Come on, babe, we got to go.

52
00:02:10,217 --> 00:02:11,392
Yeah. Ooh, can I get a ride?

53
00:02:11,435 --> 00:02:13,089
No, uh,
we have a meeting this morning.

54
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:14,656
Not at the White House? Ooh.

55
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:15,894
The plot thickens.
ELIZABETH: No, it's a campaign meeting

56
00:02:15,918 --> 00:02:17,180
with Mike B.Ooh.

57
00:02:17,224 --> 00:02:19,269
Cone of silence. Bye.

58
00:02:19,313 --> 00:02:21,750
[imitating Cookie
Monster]: Goodbye.

59
00:02:22,794 --> 00:02:24,753
The merry McCords.

60
00:02:24,796 --> 00:02:25,817
All hail. HENRY: Hey, Mike.

61
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:26,798
ELIZABETH: Gordon.

62
00:02:26,842 --> 00:02:29,149
Ooh! Look at that sporty coat.

63
00:02:29,192 --> 00:02:31,542
It's a tactical anxiety vest.

64
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:33,892
He hasn't been the same since
a calico moved in next door.

65
00:02:33,936 --> 00:02:35,242
Button-nosed little monster.

66
00:02:35,285 --> 00:02:37,679
He's probably out murdering
birds as we speak.

67
00:02:37,722 --> 00:02:39,222
Calicos are actually female.Whatever.
The point is,

68
00:02:39,246 --> 00:02:40,745
cats are the worst,
and no one should have them.

69
00:02:40,769 --> 00:02:42,205
Now, to brass tacks.

70
00:02:42,249 --> 00:02:44,425
I set up an appointment
for you at the White House

71
00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:46,340
with Pastor Eli Bragg.
HENRY: Eli Bragg.

72
00:02:46,383 --> 00:02:48,385
Of the Christian Redeemers Network?
Mm-hmm.

73
00:02:48,429 --> 00:02:50,450
It's an advocacy group for
conservative evangelicals.

74
00:02:50,474 --> 00:02:52,128
Yeah, I'm aware.

75
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,174
Pretty extreme.

76
00:02:54,217 --> 00:02:55,871
Let's call them "traditional."

77
00:02:55,914 --> 00:02:58,874
And Pastor Bragg is a big
player in national politics.

78
00:02:58,917 --> 00:03:00,919
His voters vote,
and his donors donate,

79
00:03:00,963 --> 00:03:03,246
which is more than I can say for
your kombacha-sipping fanboy.

80
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:04,445
It's kombucha.

81
00:03:04,488 --> 00:03:07,012
"Kambucha." What...
So, where do I come in?

82
00:03:07,056 --> 00:03:08,338
CRN is having their annual
conference tomorrow,

83
00:03:08,362 --> 00:03:10,190
and if you impress
the good pastor...

84
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,671
there may be a speaking slot

85
00:03:13,715 --> 00:03:15,760
for America's favorite
religious scholar.

86
00:03:15,804 --> 00:03:17,240
I'll hold for applause.

87
00:03:17,284 --> 00:03:18,676
Has Russell signed off on this?

88
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,524
Please, what's not to love?
ELIZABETH: Let's start

89
00:03:20,548 --> 00:03:22,680
with 90% of their
political positions.

90
00:03:22,724 --> 00:03:24,639
Health care, climate change,

91
00:03:24,682 --> 00:03:26,554
those detentions at the border.

92
00:03:26,597 --> 00:03:28,140
I'm sorry, what's your...
what's your brand again?

93
00:03:28,164 --> 00:03:31,123
"Hey, it's the nice
lady with the glasses."

94
00:03:31,167 --> 00:03:33,604
Diplomacy.
Willingness to find common ground.

95
00:03:33,648 --> 00:03:35,302
Sure, Pastor Bragg
will probably never

96
00:03:35,345 --> 00:03:37,129
support you, but if Henry

97
00:03:37,173 --> 00:03:40,263
can cozy up and show him
you're not the enemy,

98
00:03:40,307 --> 00:03:43,266
maybe we can keep him from
publicly opposing you.

99
00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:44,833
Well, I'm feeling inspired.

100
00:03:44,876 --> 00:03:47,270
This is exactly the
kind of outreach we need

101
00:03:47,314 --> 00:03:48,769
from Henry during the
campaign.[Elizabeth sighs]

102
00:03:48,793 --> 00:03:50,293
HENRY: I don't know
about the campaign,

103
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:51,753
but I'll sit down with him.

104
00:03:51,796 --> 00:03:54,234
I believe in the power of
scripture to unite people.

105
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:56,366
Most wars notwithstanding.

106
00:03:56,410 --> 00:03:57,648
HENRY: I knew you were
gonna say that.Hallelujah.

107
00:03:57,672 --> 00:03:58,673
ELIZABETH: He's so easy.

108
00:03:58,716 --> 00:04:00,849
HENRY: Why do I
even...[laughter]

109
00:04:00,892 --> 00:04:02,764
I mean,
have you seen these FEMA numbers?

110
00:04:02,807 --> 00:04:05,027
250-mile-an-hour winds

111
00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:08,248
are gonna destroy 95% of
single-family dwellings

112
00:04:08,291 --> 00:04:10,467
with the force of
20,000 Hiroshimas.

113
00:04:10,511 --> 00:04:13,557
Not to mention the storm
surge, which is over 40 feet.

114
00:04:13,601 --> 00:04:16,038
The highest point on the
Marshalls is 30 feet.

115
00:04:16,081 --> 00:04:17,450
And there's more than
50,000 people.[door opens]

116
00:04:17,474 --> 00:04:20,347
Hey, you can pack it up.
Meeting's off.

117
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:23,350
Latest tracking from NOAA has
Blessing making a hard swerve

118
00:04:23,393 --> 00:04:25,700
away from the Marshalls,
so Uncle Sam will get a soaking

119
00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:28,180
but nothing worse.
So no landfall?

120
00:04:28,224 --> 00:04:30,705
Looks like it's headed
for the Republic of Nauru.

121
00:04:30,748 --> 00:04:32,663
It's your mother's problem now.

122
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,059
[elevator bell chimes]
JAY: Nauru's taking

123
00:04:37,102 --> 00:04:39,888
a direct hit. Communication with
the government is still down.

124
00:04:39,931 --> 00:04:41,846
Who's our point of contact?

125
00:04:41,890 --> 00:04:44,327
Best we got is a guy
named David Akua.

126
00:04:44,371 --> 00:04:47,330
Part-time consular official at the U.N.
in New York.

127
00:04:47,374 --> 00:04:49,245
He's on his way down now.

128
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:50,942
All right, well...

129
00:04:50,986 --> 00:04:54,337
get with OFDA and
pivot aid to Nauru.

130
00:04:54,381 --> 00:04:57,384
And you got to open
a channel with DoD.

131
00:04:57,427 --> 00:04:58,578
We're gonna need Pacific Command

132
00:04:58,602 --> 00:05:00,996
to coordinate an
airlift from Guam.

133
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:02,345
Daisy, Matt,

134
00:05:02,389 --> 00:05:03,999
I need a statement ASAP.

135
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:05,522
MATT: Uh...

136
00:05:05,566 --> 00:05:07,370
support and sympathy?
As opposed to fire and brimstone?

137
00:05:07,394 --> 00:05:08,830
Yeah, and also, let's do

138
00:05:08,873 --> 00:05:10,832
a donations hotline.
Get it up within the hour.

139
00:05:10,875 --> 00:05:12,137
Yes, ma'am.

140
00:05:12,181 --> 00:05:14,488
What else you got?
Working lunch with PolMil.

141
00:05:14,531 --> 00:05:16,335
And did you hear the news
about Ashley Whittaker?

142
00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:17,926
What? Oh, my God, no.
I love her.No.

143
00:05:17,969 --> 00:05:19,362
She's dating Bryce Manley.

144
00:05:19,406 --> 00:05:20,972
Is this really State business?
What?

145
00:05:21,016 --> 00:05:22,385
Wait a minute. I'm sorry,
I thought she was with Zac Efron.

146
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:23,603
NINA: As if he could
compete with the star

147
00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:24,735
of the Swashbucklersfranchise.

148
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,283
She's a former goodwill
ambassador, so...

149
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:29,938
Uh, also, she helped us out
of a big jam in Kazakhstan.

150
00:05:29,981 --> 00:05:32,114
That doesn't give gossip a free pass.
I object.

151
00:05:32,157 --> 00:05:33,178
Overruled. BLAKE: Gossip?
It's-it's like the...

152
00:05:33,202 --> 00:05:34,334
[gasps] Right! My bad.

153
00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:35,857
Administrator.

154
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,661
Oh, no, Glenn.
Please call me Glenn. Oh, Glenn.

155
00:05:37,685 --> 00:05:40,078
Yes. I-I'm sorry,
I wasn't expecting you.

156
00:05:40,122 --> 00:05:42,429
[exhales] Right.
The NASA administrator is here.

157
00:05:42,472 --> 00:05:43,865
He says it's urgent.

158
00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:47,521
Uh, are your people
on Nauru okay?

159
00:05:47,564 --> 00:05:49,218
Well, the astronomers are fine,

160
00:05:49,261 --> 00:05:52,395
but the Gimbal-Solander
telescope's a total loss.

161
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,006
Ah.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

162
00:05:55,050 --> 00:05:56,225
Yeah, so am I.

163
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:58,358
But that's not why I'm here.

164
00:05:59,402 --> 00:06:02,057
Typhoon Blessing is a freak.

165
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,537
It's the most powerful ever,

166
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:06,627
two months before the official
start of typhoon season.

167
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:09,325
Set off alarm bells within
the scientific community,

168
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:10,587
so we went looking.

169
00:06:11,632 --> 00:06:14,591
This was taken above
the monsoon trough

170
00:06:14,635 --> 00:06:17,115
by our new GOES-18 satellite.

171
00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:18,639
Maps are like rashes.

172
00:06:18,682 --> 00:06:21,250
If it's big, if it's
red, it's probably bad.

173
00:06:21,293 --> 00:06:22,425
MATT: Yeah, I'm getting hives

174
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:23,339
just looking at it.

175
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:24,427

177
00:06:25,907 --> 00:06:27,735
Rising temperatures
are outpacing

178
00:06:27,778 --> 00:06:30,999
even our worst-case models,
so tropical cyclogenesis

179
00:06:31,042 --> 00:06:34,132
is gonna get more
frequent, more destructive.

180
00:06:34,176 --> 00:06:35,458
So Blessing isn't a freak.
It's the new normal.

181
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,353
GLENN: Well, there was a time

182
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,834
when we couldn't link specific
storms to climate change,

183
00:06:39,877 --> 00:06:42,140
but that time has passed.

184
00:06:42,184 --> 00:06:44,404
Which brings us to Nauru.

185
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:49,539
The survivors need to leave now.

186
00:06:49,583 --> 00:06:50,908
You mean until they rebuild?
GLENN: No, no.

187
00:06:50,932 --> 00:06:52,324
I mean permanently.

188
00:06:52,368 --> 00:06:54,762
JAY: All right,
hang on, hang on.

189
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:57,329
Y-You want an entire people
to just pack up and leave?

190
00:06:57,373 --> 00:06:59,375
Walls, dykes, levees.

191
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:02,465
We have ways of fighting
rising sea levels.

192
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:03,597
Well, with bedrock, maybe.

193
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,513
But this island's
built on soft coral.

194
00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:09,341
Another high-frequency
wave event could be...

195
00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:11,082
Devastating.

196
00:07:11,126 --> 00:07:12,562
Yeah.

197
00:07:12,606 --> 00:07:16,479
It's like a tsunami
hitting a sandcastle.

198
00:07:16,523 --> 00:07:17,785
And given the data,

199
00:07:17,828 --> 00:07:19,240
the odds of that happening
in the near future

200
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:21,223
are too high for comfort.

201
00:07:21,266 --> 00:07:23,225

202
00:07:23,268 --> 00:07:25,401

Unit ran some simulations.

Today it's Nauru.

206
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:34,149
Tomorrow could
easily be Jakarta,

You brief POTUS yet?
That's my next stop.

210
00:07:40,068 --> 00:07:42,636
But since most of these
disasters cover foreign policy,

211
00:07:42,679 --> 00:07:44,420
I thought you should
be prepared.Yeah.

212
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,466
Well, I appreciate it.Yeah.

Any update?

220
00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:05,528
Uh, yes. We just established a
comms link with Nauru via NASA.

221
00:08:05,572 --> 00:08:09,489
Um, the casualties are
even worse than expected.

222
00:08:09,532 --> 00:08:11,534
President Yispinza was
killed in the storm,

223
00:08:11,578 --> 00:08:14,145
as well as all 19 members

224
00:08:14,189 --> 00:08:15,843
of the Nauruan parliament.

225
00:08:15,886 --> 00:08:18,062
How's that even possible?

226
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,214
Parliament House flooded before
they could seek higher ground.

227
00:08:20,238 --> 00:08:23,241
Our best guess is
over a thousand dead.

228
00:08:23,285 --> 00:08:25,548
Uh... hundreds more missing.

229
00:08:25,592 --> 00:08:28,595
That's ten percent
of the population.

230
00:08:30,597 --> 00:08:32,512
Okay, let's, um...

231
00:08:32,555 --> 00:08:35,732
let's activate the Overseas
Contingency fund, and...

232
00:08:35,776 --> 00:08:37,517
So, who's in charge?

233
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,824
A-According to their
constitution, David Akua.

234
00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:42,913
The consular official?

235
00:08:42,957 --> 00:08:45,263
Part-time official. He's 23.

236
00:08:45,307 --> 00:08:47,527
He's also pursuing a master's
in public health at NYU.

239
00:08:50,791 --> 00:08:52,488
And now he's president.

240
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,185
And here's the kicker.

241
00:08:54,229 --> 00:08:55,578
I don't think he knows.

242
00:08:55,622 --> 00:08:56,971

Um, but I need to speak
with you directly.

Please have a seat. Of course.

A WhatsApp from my mother

that was before things got bad.

According to our

the island of Nauru is
no longer habitable.

00:13:14,881 --> 00:13:17,318
this disaster in Nauru

355
00:13:17,361 --> 00:13:19,668
is just the tip of the iceberg.

356
00:13:19,711 --> 00:13:22,323
Future generations might
not even get that reference.

357
00:13:22,366 --> 00:13:25,239
That's depressing.

358
00:13:25,282 --> 00:13:27,502
There has to be a way

359
00:13:27,545 --> 00:13:31,332
to tackle this more globally.

360
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:35,423
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to...
stew on this for a while.

361
00:13:35,466 --> 00:13:37,251
I totally get it.

362
00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:39,427
But you know what?

363
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:41,429
You're kind of
sexy when you stew.

364
00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:43,474
[tape rips]

365
00:13:46,086 --> 00:13:48,088
Oh, come on.

366
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:51,874
[mutters]Mmm...

367
00:13:56,009 --> 00:13:57,184
Talk to me.

368
00:13:57,227 --> 00:14:00,187
Uh, so far, Fiji,
Tuvalu, New Guinea...

369
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:02,450
They're all willing to
absorb refugees from Nauru.

370
00:14:02,493 --> 00:14:03,712
You'd have to split them up.

371
00:14:03,755 --> 00:14:05,018
No way Akua goes for that.

372
00:14:05,061 --> 00:14:06,461
MATT: Yeah,
will he go for any of it?

373
00:14:06,497 --> 00:14:07,759
'Cause, last I heard,

374
00:14:07,803 --> 00:14:09,172
he was refusing to give
the order to evacuate.

375
00:14:09,196 --> 00:14:10,937
The secretary sent
him the NASA report.

376
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:12,131
We're hoping that
moves the needle.

377
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:13,113
What about Australia?

378
00:14:13,156 --> 00:14:14,114
Declined.

379
00:14:14,157 --> 00:14:15,855
They're chockers, apparently.

380
00:14:16,943 --> 00:14:18,292
That means "full."

381
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:19,815
Then say "full." Keep pushing.

382
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,924
Meantime, we've got our marching orders...
the secretary

383
00:14:21,948 --> 00:14:23,308
wants us to examine
the possibility

384
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:25,821
of a reparations fund
for developing countries

385
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,389
suffering the consequences
of global warming.

386
00:14:28,432 --> 00:14:29,999
Sounds familiar.

387
00:14:30,043 --> 00:14:32,480
The idea's been floating around
policy circles for a while.

388
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:35,091
Major carbon polluting
nations, like us,

389
00:14:35,135 --> 00:14:37,180
provide money to protect

390
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:39,356
or relocate the more
vulnerable populations.

391
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,552
It was debated at the Stockholm
Protocol, and no one gave it

392
00:14:41,576 --> 00:14:43,902
the time of day. But that was
before Super Typhoon Blessing.

393
00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:45,449
So this could be our moment.

394
00:14:45,493 --> 00:14:47,712
Don't count on it.
Trust me, nothing makes rich people

395
00:14:47,756 --> 00:14:50,106
run for the hills faster
than the word "reparations."

396
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:51,368
You know, that's a good point.

397
00:14:51,412 --> 00:14:53,283
Maybe we should call
it the Resiliency Fund.

398
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:54,850
Hides the ball, doesn't lie.

399
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,069
I like it.

400
00:14:56,112 --> 00:14:57,940
Reach out to some think
tanks for polling.

401
00:14:57,984 --> 00:15:00,464
I'm gonna touch base
with my counterparts

402
00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:03,206
in Japan, India,
China, and the E.U.

403
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:05,426
Well, if you need more
motivation, RMSC Tokyo

404
00:15:05,469 --> 00:15:08,385
is reporting a new cyclone
in the Western Pacific Basin.

405
00:15:08,429 --> 00:15:10,910
It should be a named
storm within the hour.

406
00:15:14,957 --> 00:15:16,263
Henry, Pastor Eli Bragg.

407
00:15:17,525 --> 00:15:19,266
Pastor Bragg, Dr. Henry McCord.

408
00:15:19,309 --> 00:15:21,050
Hello, Pastor. Hi, I'm Henry.

409
00:15:21,094 --> 00:15:22,573
Hi. Ruby.
My daughter Ruby Bragg.

410
00:15:22,617 --> 00:15:24,445
She's our national co-chair

411
00:15:24,488 --> 00:15:26,795
and spokesperson.
We were just talking

412
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:28,492
about the storm. Tragic swerve.

413
00:15:28,536 --> 00:15:30,842
Certainly took NOAA by surprise.

414
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:32,061
It's a Providence

415
00:15:32,105 --> 00:15:33,497
for the United States.

416
00:15:33,541 --> 00:15:35,630
I see His hand in it. I assume

417
00:15:35,673 --> 00:15:38,459
you're not implying that
somehow the people of Nauru

418
00:15:38,502 --> 00:15:40,548
deserve this because
they're sinners.

419
00:15:40,591 --> 00:15:42,724
Do you doubt God's role
in natural disasters?

420
00:15:42,767 --> 00:15:45,248
No. No, no, I doubt our ability

421
00:15:45,292 --> 00:15:46,249
to read His intent.

422
00:15:46,293 --> 00:15:47,990
RUSSELL: Let's
pivot to the intent

423
00:15:48,034 --> 00:15:49,339
of this meeting.

424
00:15:49,383 --> 00:15:51,385
I'm sure Henry is very eager

425
00:15:51,428 --> 00:15:52,536
to speak at your conference.

426
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,692
And we are eager to have him.
Rube?

427
00:15:54,736 --> 00:15:57,739
Uh, yes. This is essentially
an olive branch situation.

428
00:15:57,782 --> 00:15:59,654
Politically, we're at
odds, but we'd like

429
00:15:59,697 --> 00:16:02,004
to maintain a
respectful dialogue.

430
00:16:02,048 --> 00:16:04,441
Particularly if Elizabeth McCord
becomes the next president.

431
00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:06,443
We're exploring our options.

432
00:16:06,487 --> 00:16:08,576
[chuckles] RUBY: But for
this dialogue to work,

433
00:16:08,619 --> 00:16:10,360
we do need to set
a few ground rules.

434
00:16:10,404 --> 00:16:11,796
We simply ask that
you steer away

435
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,407
from any controversial topics.

436
00:16:13,450 --> 00:16:15,931
We want to build bridges
here, not burn them.

437
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,978
I was thinking that I
would speak about poverty,

438
00:16:19,021 --> 00:16:20,370
what it meant in the life

439
00:16:20,414 --> 00:16:22,459
of Jesus and how his followers

440
00:16:22,503 --> 00:16:24,722
are called to address it.Fine.

441
00:16:24,766 --> 00:16:26,550
Fine by me.

442
00:16:26,594 --> 00:16:28,422
I preach the gospel of
charity every Sunday.

443
00:16:28,465 --> 00:16:30,032
Then it's settled.

444
00:16:30,076 --> 00:16:32,295
Please give Conrad my best.

445
00:16:32,339 --> 00:16:33,383
I'm praying for him,

446
00:16:33,427 --> 00:16:34,384
as always. Nice to meet you.

447
00:16:34,428 --> 00:16:35,733
Nice to meet you.

448
00:16:35,777 --> 00:16:36,734
Have a blessed day. Take care.

449
00:16:36,778 --> 00:16:37,735
Oh, thank you.

450
00:16:37,779 --> 00:16:39,389
Of course.

451
00:16:43,393 --> 00:16:44,699
That was interesting.

452
00:16:44,742 --> 00:16:46,092
Yeah.

453
00:16:46,135 --> 00:16:48,442
I get where Mike
B.'s going with this,

454
00:16:48,485 --> 00:16:51,227
but the CRN's a viper's nest.

455
00:16:51,271 --> 00:16:53,142
You stay frosty or you'll
find a pair of fangs

456
00:16:53,186 --> 00:16:55,362
dangling from your neck.

457
00:16:58,104 --> 00:17:00,193
[knocking] Hi. Hi.

458
00:17:00,236 --> 00:17:02,804
So, remember when Ashley
Whittaker was secretly dating

459
00:17:02,847 --> 00:17:04,675
Bryce Manley while
also dating Zac Efron?

460
00:17:04,719 --> 00:17:07,287
This needs to take a turn
towards work very quickly.

461
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:08,481
Wait for it.
I was poking around.

462
00:17:08,505 --> 00:17:09,463
Bryce's Tumblr.

463
00:17:09,506 --> 00:17:11,552
Turns out he owns
a giant property

464
00:17:11,595 --> 00:17:12,553
in Fiji.

465
00:17:12,596 --> 00:17:13,684
Bryce Manley Island.

466
00:17:13,728 --> 00:17:15,469
Well above sea level.
Safe for at least

467
00:17:15,512 --> 00:17:17,490
two centuries,
even with the latest NASA projections.

468
00:17:17,514 --> 00:17:20,561
Right. Plus,
if you look past the infinity pools

469
00:17:20,604 --> 00:17:23,738
and tacky statues,
it has the infrastructure to support.

470
00:17:23,781 --> 00:17:27,089
Nauru's population and-and
core domestic industries.

471
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,048
Props for thinking
outside of the box,

472
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:30,614
but we don't have the cash.

473
00:17:30,658 --> 00:17:32,181
Mm, might not need it.

474
00:17:32,225 --> 00:17:35,967
I mean, why has Manley been
so MIA since Swashbucklers 5?

475
00:17:36,011 --> 00:17:37,491
NINA: Turns out he's
in a legal battle

476
00:17:37,534 --> 00:17:40,494
with the IRS over an alleged
"tax-related impropriety."

477
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:43,018
How much impropriety
are we talking?

478
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,715
So much. So much impropriety.

479
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,718
Mm, it's worth a shot.

480
00:17:47,762 --> 00:17:49,503
Now all we have
to do is convince

481
00:17:49,546 --> 00:17:51,133
a bankrupt celebrity
to give us his island,

482
00:17:51,157 --> 00:17:53,594
convince David Akua to
abandon his homeland,

483
00:17:53,637 --> 00:17:55,900
and then convince Fiji and the U.N.
to recognize

484
00:17:55,944 --> 00:17:58,947
the new island as the
sovereign nation of Nauru.

485
00:17:58,990 --> 00:18:01,602
Hmm, that's a lot of convincing,

486
00:18:01,645 --> 00:18:03,038
when you put it that way.

487
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,344
Yeah.

488
00:18:10,219 --> 00:18:13,527
I mean,
no wonder this guy's bankrupt.

489
00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:14,982
Yeah,
that's just the private island.

490
00:18:15,006 --> 00:18:16,921
Don't forget about
the three yachts,

491
00:18:16,965 --> 00:18:18,706
the six castles,
the 12-bedroom tree house.

492
00:18:18,749 --> 00:18:19,707
JAY: Manley's on his way

493
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:20,751
with his lawyer now.

494
00:18:20,795 --> 00:18:21,709
I'm having Matt and
Daisy run point.

495
00:18:21,752 --> 00:18:23,014
How far do we take it?

496
00:18:23,058 --> 00:18:24,079
ELIZABETH: Give him a
medal if you have to.

497
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,582
This is our best chance

498
00:18:25,626 --> 00:18:28,019
of convincing Akua to evacuate.

499
00:18:28,063 --> 00:18:29,760
Well, I hope he reconsidered.

500
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:30,761
ELIZABETH: Yeah.

501
00:18:30,805 --> 00:18:32,023
Ready for SVTC?

502
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:35,114
Uh... we'll find out.

503
00:18:35,157 --> 00:18:37,290
Jay, get a meeting
at the White House.

504
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:38,813
The sooner we can

505
00:18:38,856 --> 00:18:41,598
pivot to a resiliency
fund, the better.

506
00:18:41,642 --> 00:18:42,880
DAVID: The destruction's
horrific.

507
00:18:42,904 --> 00:18:44,688
There are bodies everywhere.

508
00:18:44,732 --> 00:18:45,863
In the rubble,

509
00:18:45,907 --> 00:18:47,082
soaking in the mud.

510
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:48,997
I am so sorry.

511
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,998
Thank you.

512
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:51,042
I have to ask,

513
00:18:51,086 --> 00:18:52,348
did you read the report?

514
00:18:52,392 --> 00:18:54,307
From NASA? Yes.

515
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:57,005
And I can see the
erosion with my eyes.

516
00:18:57,048 --> 00:18:58,311
I know the risks are high.

517
00:18:58,354 --> 00:19:00,878
Fatal, if you stay, David.

518
00:19:00,922 --> 00:19:02,880
But the good news is

519
00:19:02,924 --> 00:19:05,753
we may have a lead on
finding you a new home.

520
00:19:05,796 --> 00:19:08,451
Are you familiar
with Laweron Temple?

521
00:19:08,495 --> 00:19:12,194
Yes, one of the largest
megalithic structures

522
00:19:12,238 --> 00:19:13,456
in Micronesia.

523
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,502
And I understand that
it survived the storm.

524
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:17,112
Because it was built
to last forever.

525
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:20,202
With pale, red bricks that
catch the morning sun.

526
00:19:20,246 --> 00:19:21,464
It means little to outsiders,

527
00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:24,163
but it's the center of
our spiritual lives.

528
00:19:24,206 --> 00:19:25,947
It's home, and...

529
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:27,209
we cannot leave it behind.

530
00:19:27,253 --> 00:19:28,863
So don't.

531
00:19:28,906 --> 00:19:32,214
The Army Corps of Engineers will
move the temple brick by brick.

532
00:19:32,258 --> 00:19:34,477
And build temporary
housing while you wait.

533
00:19:34,521 --> 00:19:36,087
I'll talk to my people,

534
00:19:36,131 --> 00:19:37,741
see what I can do.

535
00:19:37,785 --> 00:19:38,916
Thank you, David.

536
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,091
And good luck.

537
00:19:40,135 --> 00:19:41,571
[beep]

538
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,921
First of all, huge fans.
Yeah, I was

539
00:19:43,965 --> 00:19:47,186
a Swashbuckler every
Halloween in middle school.

540
00:19:47,229 --> 00:19:50,189
And recently,
because that franchise is still fresh.

541
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:52,191
I've read your proposal.

542
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:53,888
Can't say the same
for my client.

543
00:19:53,931 --> 00:19:56,325
DAISY: Well, the deal is simple.
You donate

544
00:19:56,369 --> 00:19:59,154
your island to Nauru,
and we lean on the IRS to forgive

545
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:02,157
your debts.
So, uh, Ashley says hi.

546
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:04,203
Your girlfriend.
That's great. Hi.

547
00:20:04,246 --> 00:20:06,117
But I have to say no.

548
00:20:06,161 --> 00:20:07,510
My client is attached

549
00:20:07,554 --> 00:20:08,511
to his asset.

550
00:20:08,555 --> 00:20:09,773
It's hallowed ground.

551
00:20:09,817 --> 00:20:11,253
The site of our betrothal.

552
00:20:11,297 --> 00:20:12,863
The locus of our wedding.

553
00:20:12,907 --> 00:20:14,387
MATT: You and Ashley?

554
00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:15,562
Congratulations.

555
00:20:15,605 --> 00:20:17,192
Yeah, but why not just
throw your wedding

556
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,217
on one of your yachts?

557
00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:20,219
Or a castle? Or the tree house?

558
00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:21,263
Ooh, the tree house.

559
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:22,588
Because the
alternative is prison.

560
00:20:22,612 --> 00:20:24,310
Prison?

561
00:20:24,353 --> 00:20:27,051
What, wha-what do you
mean, prison?

562
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:28,270
Jail. CANDICE: You're heavily

563
00:20:28,314 --> 00:20:29,706
overextended, Bryce.

564
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:32,231
You, you told me islands
were a good investment.

565
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:34,798
I did not tell you islands were
a good investment. Yes, you did.

566
00:20:34,842 --> 00:20:36,322
Or blimps. Blimps?

567
00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:38,300
Blimps are the future.
Blimps are not the future, Bryce.

568
00:20:38,324 --> 00:20:39,953
Hello, we talked about this.
Just... I know.

569
00:20:39,977 --> 00:20:41,172
How many times do we have to
talk about this? Islands, blimps.

570
00:20:41,196 --> 00:20:43,372
I am...
I'm sensing some conflict here.

571
00:20:43,416 --> 00:20:46,070
So, how can we make this work?

572
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:50,350
[chuckles]: The
Nobel Peace Prize?

573
00:20:50,379 --> 00:20:51,772
Just the nomination. Really?

574
00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:54,209
It'll die in committee,
but I'm afraid Bryce insisted.

575
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,429
And then we get his island?

576
00:20:56,472 --> 00:20:58,213
Pending approval by the IRS.

577
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,216
But all signs point to yes.

578
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,306
Next time I say give a guy a
medal, don't.

579
00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:06,265
RUSSELL: An appropriations bill

580
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:10,704
to pay for other countries
to deal with climate change?

581
00:21:10,747 --> 00:21:14,185
Yeah, just one question
on that: a-are you nuts?

582
00:21:14,229 --> 00:21:15,578
This is our only way

583
00:21:15,622 --> 00:21:18,581
to get our Resiliency
Fund off the ground.

584
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,844
India, China, the E.U.

585
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:22,933
are already willing
to come on board.

586
00:21:22,977 --> 00:21:24,718
But only if we make
the first move.

587
00:21:24,761 --> 00:21:26,348
ELIZABETH: Yes.
JAY: It's a gesture of good faith.

588
00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:28,698
Made necessary by decades as
the world's top carbon polluter.

589
00:21:28,722 --> 00:21:30,003
RUSSELL: Well,
haven't we done enough?

590
00:21:30,027 --> 00:21:32,334
We already signed the
Stockholm Protocols.

591
00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:35,163
No. Those were benchmarks
for future emissions.

592
00:21:35,206 --> 00:21:38,645
But many people, including the
Nauruans, are suffering now.

593
00:21:38,688 --> 00:21:41,561
Sir, Congress will laugh
us out of committee.

594
00:21:41,604 --> 00:21:44,303
JAY: 56% of Americans
support the Resiliency Fund.

595
00:21:44,346 --> 00:21:47,349
That's a clear majority.
And since when is a majority enough?

596
00:21:47,393 --> 00:21:49,569
Half of Congress serves in
gerrymandered districts,

597
00:21:49,612 --> 00:21:51,310
beholden to their base.

598
00:21:51,353 --> 00:21:53,157
Guys like Owen Callister won't
even debate climate change.

599
00:21:53,181 --> 00:21:54,376
Some others might
admit it's happening.

600
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,966
But take action?

601
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:58,099
You...
You got another thing coming.

602
00:21:58,142 --> 00:21:59,405
So it's pointless to even try?

603
00:21:59,448 --> 00:22:01,798
Oh, hello, you must be new here.

604
00:22:01,842 --> 00:22:03,322
Did you talk to Glenn?

605
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:06,107
Yeah. NASA's projections
are staggering.

606
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:07,761
This is happening.

607
00:22:07,804 --> 00:22:10,372
Extreme weather will destabilize
countries all across the globe.

608
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:11,895
Triggering waves of refugees

609
00:22:11,939 --> 00:22:13,482
and accelerating the rise
of ethnic nationalism.

610
00:22:13,506 --> 00:22:15,856
ELIZABETH: Sir, there's already

611
00:22:15,899 --> 00:22:19,120
another typhoon
forming in the Pacific.

612
00:22:19,163 --> 00:22:21,078
It's worth the fight.

613
00:22:21,122 --> 00:22:22,384
DALTON: Not when we lose.

614
00:22:22,428 --> 00:22:25,213
If Congress rejects
this Resiliency Fund,

615
00:22:25,256 --> 00:22:27,998
it could hamstring our
environmental agenda for years.

616
00:22:28,042 --> 00:22:29,435
I'm sorry, Bess.

617
00:22:29,478 --> 00:22:32,176
I can't let it happen.

618
00:22:35,745 --> 00:22:37,704
ELIZABETH: We're on our
way to CRN right now.

619
00:22:37,747 --> 00:22:41,838
Just, uh, I'll check in
with the Swedes tomorrow.

620
00:22:41,882 --> 00:22:44,798
Okay. Great. Thanks.

621
00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:47,409
That was Jay.

622
00:22:47,453 --> 00:22:49,672
The IRS chief counsel signed off

623
00:22:49,716 --> 00:22:52,327
on the Bryce Manley deal.

624
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:54,547
And Nauru's on board?

625
00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:56,375
Providing we move their temple.
Yeah.

626
00:22:56,418 --> 00:22:58,420
Well, that's great news.

627
00:22:58,464 --> 00:23:00,509
Is it?

628
00:23:00,553 --> 00:23:03,469
Eccentric, broke movie star

629
00:23:03,512 --> 00:23:05,558
with Nobel fetish

630
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:07,995
donates his private island?

631
00:23:08,038 --> 00:23:10,345
Probably not many times we
can go back to that well.

632
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:13,392
Which is why I thought
the Resiliency Fund

633
00:23:13,435 --> 00:23:14,784
was a no-brainer.

634
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:17,004
The crazy thing is,

635
00:23:17,047 --> 00:23:19,354
they can't even debate

636
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,269
the perils of climate
change in Congress,

637
00:23:21,312 --> 00:23:25,447
because a cabal of special
interests won't let them.

638
00:23:25,491 --> 00:23:27,623
Guys like Eli Bragg.

639
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,148
Oh, come on.

640
00:23:31,192 --> 00:23:33,716
You know the CRN is all in
on climate change denial.

641
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,457
Do you want to turn around?

642
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:38,895
Well, I want to hold
their feet to the fire.

643
00:23:38,939 --> 00:23:40,462
Babe, I'll go there.

644
00:23:40,506 --> 00:23:43,509
As long as we're willing
to accept the consequences.

645
00:23:43,552 --> 00:23:45,336
You bet.

646
00:23:45,380 --> 00:23:47,861
Look,
I'm-I'm all for shared values.

647
00:23:47,904 --> 00:23:50,254
But the planet is dying.

648
00:23:50,298 --> 00:23:52,387
We have to, at least,
be able to talk about it.

649
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:53,954
Sold.

650
00:23:53,997 --> 00:23:56,130
All right,
how much time do we have?

651
00:23:59,525 --> 00:24:02,528
Genesis 2:15 uses
two Hebrew words

652
00:24:02,571 --> 00:24:04,399
to describe God's purpose

653
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:06,140
in placing man in
the Garden of Eden:

654
00:24:06,183 --> 00:24:08,664
"Avad"and "Shamar."

655
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:10,710
Meaning "serve" and "protect."

656
00:24:10,753 --> 00:24:13,800
It's the core of our
purpose here on Earth,

657
00:24:13,843 --> 00:24:16,585
and our instruction
for worshipping God.

658
00:24:16,629 --> 00:24:19,501
But it's hard to claim
you love the Creator,

659
00:24:19,545 --> 00:24:22,243
if you're ignoring
the profound harm

660
00:24:22,286 --> 00:24:25,028
being done to His masterpiece.

661
00:24:25,072 --> 00:24:28,945
The longer we neglect
our duty to God,

662
00:24:28,989 --> 00:24:31,295
the farther we stray
from His purpose,

663
00:24:31,339 --> 00:24:34,037
and the closer we
are to succumbing

664
00:24:34,081 --> 00:24:37,563
to an existential
threat to humanity:

665
00:24:37,606 --> 00:24:39,434
climate change.

666
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:41,784
[indistinct chatter]

667
00:24:43,612 --> 00:24:45,242
ELIZABETH: I know that wasn't
the speech you imagined.

668
00:24:45,266 --> 00:24:49,575
The whole point of the
invitation was unity.

669
00:24:49,618 --> 00:24:51,577
We face a common threat.

670
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:54,536
Solidarity is our only option.

671
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:57,278
Your husband quoted Genesis,
but the moral of that book

672
00:24:57,321 --> 00:24:59,541
is that humans are fallible.

673
00:24:59,585 --> 00:25:03,980
Most doctors used to think
that leeches cured pneumonia.

674
00:25:04,024 --> 00:25:07,070
You really want to put
your chips on that square?

675
00:25:07,114 --> 00:25:11,074
Your megachurch is in a
flood zone near Greensboro.

676
00:25:11,118 --> 00:25:13,599
Millions of your followers

677
00:25:13,642 --> 00:25:15,731
are within reach of
Atlantic hurricanes.

678
00:25:15,775 --> 00:25:18,560
We can help protect 'em,

679
00:25:18,604 --> 00:25:21,171
but we need to act now.

680
00:25:21,215 --> 00:25:22,869
Ma'am, I'll level with you.

681
00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:25,436
In my opinion,
this whole climate thing

682
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,700
is just a Trojan horse
to grow the power

683
00:25:27,743 --> 00:25:31,573
of the federal government
and undermine our liberty.

684
00:25:31,617 --> 00:25:34,750
Not the government I work for.

685
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,709
Or one I want to lead.

686
00:25:39,625 --> 00:25:41,603
Come along, there are some
folks I want you to meet.

687
00:25:41,627 --> 00:25:42,758
Okay.

688
00:25:49,504 --> 00:25:50,461
Hey, Ruby.

689
00:25:50,505 --> 00:25:51,811
Dr. McCord.

690
00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:57,556
I, uh, I liked what you said
about God's masterpiece.

691
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,688
I did a semester
abroad in New Zealand.

692
00:25:59,732 --> 00:26:01,560
And hiking above
the Milford Sound,

693
00:26:01,603 --> 00:26:03,083
looking down at the fjord,

694
00:26:03,126 --> 00:26:04,606
I've never felt closer to God.

695
00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:07,087
I felt the same way
when I was a pilot,

696
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:09,568
seeing the curvature of the Earth.
Hmm.

697
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:12,440
Too bad the Earth's flat.

698
00:26:12,483 --> 00:26:16,487
Unfortunately,
my father isn't really one for hikes.

699
00:26:16,531 --> 00:26:17,663
Or empirical date.

700
00:26:17,706 --> 00:26:20,056
I'm guessing you are.

701
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:21,797
It's a generational thing.

702
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:23,451
Kind of hard to deny science

703
00:26:23,494 --> 00:26:24,646
when you can reach
into your pocket

704
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,628
and FaceTime your
friend from Kenya.

705
00:26:28,717 --> 00:26:30,632
You think I'm a hypocrite

706
00:26:30,676 --> 00:26:33,940
because I accept global
warming and I work for CRN.

707
00:26:36,638 --> 00:26:39,075
Have you seen any of
the footage from Nauru?

708
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,990
I'm not caught up on it yet.

709
00:26:41,034 --> 00:26:45,604
There's an interesting young
man down there, uh, David Akua.

710
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:47,344
You heard of him? No.

711
00:26:47,388 --> 00:26:48,694
You should Google him.

712
00:26:48,737 --> 00:26:51,697
I will.

713
00:26:51,740 --> 00:26:53,699
Goodbye, Dr. McCord.

714
00:26:57,964 --> 00:27:00,140
You sure I can't get
you something to drink?

715
00:27:00,183 --> 00:27:02,925
No, I won't be here long.

716
00:27:02,969 --> 00:27:05,536
You've been saying that
for the last 20 minutes.

717
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:08,583
Because they keep
not getting here.

718
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:11,934
ELIZABETH: Hello.
Not a moment too soon.

719
00:27:11,978 --> 00:27:13,608
I wet/dry vac'ed the carpet,
I ran the dishwasher.

720
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:16,156
I applied for some apartments...
I'm off to bed.

721
00:27:16,199 --> 00:27:17,350
ELIZABETH: Thank you.
HENRY: Mike.

722
00:27:17,374 --> 00:27:18,656
You just can't play
ball, can you?

723
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,639
It was my speech, Mike.

724
00:27:20,682 --> 00:27:23,554
Cut the crap, Professor.
We both know you're in this together.

725
00:27:23,598 --> 00:27:25,208
So what if we are?

726
00:27:25,252 --> 00:27:27,036
We started a dialogue.

727
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,517
Yeah? Well the pastor ended it.

728
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,693
CRN just announced a
$10 million donation

729
00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:33,782
to Owen Callister,
so congratulations.

730
00:27:33,826 --> 00:27:36,829
You just lost Iowa...
and me. I quit.

731
00:27:36,872 --> 00:27:39,440
Are you kidding?

732
00:27:39,483 --> 00:27:41,529
No, kidding was what
I was doing to myself

733
00:27:41,572 --> 00:27:43,444
by thinking you could
actually make this work.

734
00:27:43,487 --> 00:27:46,099
By crawling through the muck,

735
00:27:46,142 --> 00:27:48,318
toiling thanklessly for
a pompous blue blood

736
00:27:48,362 --> 00:27:50,079
who'd rather be
self-righteous than president.

737
00:27:50,103 --> 00:27:51,646
Excuse me?
Hey, let's just take a breath here.

738
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:54,934
I spent months getting
you this opportunity.

739
00:27:54,977 --> 00:27:57,719
And you-you flush it
because you're feeling mopey

740
00:27:57,763 --> 00:27:59,566
about your Resiliency Fund,
whatever the hell that is.

741
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:00,655
Mike,
it's time for you to leave.

742
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,637
I'm on my way. Mike.

743
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:05,379
Hey. I am not your puppet.

744
00:28:05,422 --> 00:28:08,599
If I see a chance

745
00:28:08,643 --> 00:28:10,427
to shift the paradigm,
I'm gonna take it.

746
00:28:10,471 --> 00:28:13,343
Why can't you just trust me?

747
00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:16,738
Because I'm not a politician.

748
00:28:16,782 --> 00:28:19,567
And that's exactly
why you're gonna lose.

749
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:24,528
[door slams]

750
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,232
Okay. Well,
tell USAID to pre-stage supplies

751
00:28:32,275 --> 00:28:35,191
and have PACOM standing by.
Yeah.

752
00:28:35,235 --> 00:28:38,325
Keep me posted. Thanks.

753
00:28:38,368 --> 00:28:40,370
That was Blake.

754
00:28:40,414 --> 00:28:44,070
Tropical Storm Phoebe
is now a typhoon.

755
00:28:44,113 --> 00:28:46,115
[sighs]

756
00:28:47,203 --> 00:28:50,946
So, Netflix and chill?

757
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:54,384
Is there a category for
"self-righteous blue bloods"?

758
00:28:54,428 --> 00:28:57,039
[sighs] Mike went too far.

759
00:28:57,083 --> 00:28:59,346
I... thought maybe you
were gonna punch him.

760
00:28:59,389 --> 00:29:01,391
Me, too.

761
00:29:03,176 --> 00:29:05,178
What if he's right about me?

762
00:29:06,353 --> 00:29:08,529
You know,
one of the reasons I've relied

763
00:29:08,572 --> 00:29:10,966
on Mike for all these
years is because

764
00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:14,317
his assessment of people
is always dead-on.

765
00:29:14,361 --> 00:29:18,931
So, for him to say
that about me is...

766
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:25,198
This is the part where you...
you say,

767
00:29:25,241 --> 00:29:28,810
"No, he's mistaken and insane."

768
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:30,246
He's not mistaken.

769
00:29:30,290 --> 00:29:32,292
Uh, thanks, pal. Or insane.

770
00:29:32,335 --> 00:29:33,946
I mean, tonight, maybe a little.

771
00:29:33,989 --> 00:29:38,298
But...
you are stubborn and high-minded

772
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:40,213
and, ironically,
for a former spy,

773
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:42,345
completely allergic
to duplicity.

774
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:45,305
So are-are you finished?

775
00:29:45,348 --> 00:29:47,220
There's a but.

776
00:29:47,263 --> 00:29:48,874
He-He's overreacting.

777
00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:53,400
First of all, the evangelical
community is not a monolith.

778
00:29:53,443 --> 00:29:55,706
So Pastor Bragg gave
money to Callister.

779
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:58,187
He represents a narrow
band of believers,

780
00:29:58,231 --> 00:30:00,929
and within that,
there's dissent.

781
00:30:00,973 --> 00:30:04,193
I actually had a productive
conversation with his daughter.

782
00:30:04,237 --> 00:30:06,369
The spokeswoman?
Yeah, Ruby, yeah.

783
00:30:06,413 --> 00:30:08,937
Also, Mike B.
Talks about your campaign

784
00:30:08,981 --> 00:30:11,374
like the election is tomorrow.
I know.

785
00:30:11,418 --> 00:30:13,246
Right? I haven't even declared.

786
00:30:13,289 --> 00:30:15,857
It's a long game.

787
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:18,599
So y-you're saying there's hope,

788
00:30:18,642 --> 00:30:21,123
maybe I didn't just
ruin everything?

789
00:30:21,167 --> 00:30:24,126
I'm saying that if you're
involved, there's always hope.

790
00:30:24,170 --> 00:30:26,085
Oh, my God.

791
00:30:26,128 --> 00:30:27,826
I love you so much.

792
00:30:29,958 --> 00:30:32,439
Got any chocolate?

793
00:30:36,486 --> 00:30:38,358
I wasn't expecting
to hear from you,

794
00:30:38,401 --> 00:30:40,621
not after we backed Callister.

795
00:30:40,664 --> 00:30:42,405
I don't care about the money.

796
00:30:42,449 --> 00:30:44,407
Neither does my wife.

797
00:30:44,451 --> 00:30:47,019
Then why are we here?

798
00:30:47,062 --> 00:30:48,542
I looked you up.

799
00:30:48,585 --> 00:30:50,239
You used to be an activist.

800
00:30:50,283 --> 00:30:54,330
Coal ash is a major
problem in our communities.

801
00:30:55,418 --> 00:30:57,856
And you spoke out.

802
00:30:57,899 --> 00:31:01,294
My father raised me to
believe that my voice matters.

803
00:31:01,337 --> 00:31:02,599
He was right.

804
00:31:02,643 --> 00:31:06,473
Christ is good news for
the poor and vulnerable.

805
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:09,432
We're compelled to
care for our neighbors.

806
00:31:09,476 --> 00:31:12,479
Charity is a cornerstone
of our ministry.

807
00:31:12,522 --> 00:31:16,004
We do good work without
addressing climate change.

808
00:31:16,048 --> 00:31:20,269
And if you don't,
then none of that matters.

809
00:31:20,313 --> 00:31:23,359
God's creation will
be uninhabitable.

810
00:31:23,403 --> 00:31:25,318
I, um...

811
00:31:25,361 --> 00:31:29,931
I looked up that guy in
Nauru, David Akua.

812
00:31:29,975 --> 00:31:32,542
I can't imagine what
he's going through.

813
00:31:32,586 --> 00:31:34,805
So use your voice. Speak out.

814
00:31:34,849 --> 00:31:37,896
Yeah, that's...
that's easy for you to say.

815
00:31:37,939 --> 00:31:41,116
I could trash my career,
blow up my family.

816
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,683
I know it's a leap,

817
00:31:42,726 --> 00:31:45,381
but you're more powerful than
you give yourself credit for.

818
00:31:45,425 --> 00:31:47,296
If you believe that what we do

819
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:48,689
in this life
determines the next,

820
00:31:48,732 --> 00:31:51,431
there isn't any choice at all.

821
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:56,001
What did you have in mind?

822
00:31:56,044 --> 00:31:58,046
A simple resolution?

823
00:31:58,090 --> 00:32:01,006
Yeah. The Resiliency Fund
was too big of a swing.

824
00:32:01,049 --> 00:32:03,312
I get that now.
What would this resolution say exactly?

825
00:32:03,356 --> 00:32:04,748
The truth.

826
00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:06,533
That carbon pollution
causes climate change.

827
00:32:06,576 --> 00:32:07,969
Too bad the truth

828
00:32:08,013 --> 00:32:09,405
doesn't whip votes.

829
00:32:09,449 --> 00:32:11,451
But Ruby Bragg does.

830
00:32:11,494 --> 00:32:13,366
What if I told you
she was backing this?

831
00:32:13,409 --> 00:32:16,586
She'll go against her father?
In public?

832
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:18,284
If she can divide
CRN's lobbying power,

833
00:32:18,327 --> 00:32:19,720
it may put us over the top.

834
00:32:19,763 --> 00:32:21,287
Then feel free.

835
00:32:21,330 --> 00:32:24,290
But are you sure you want to
go all in on a resolution?

836
00:32:24,333 --> 00:32:26,466
It's symbolic at best.
ELIZABETH: Absolutely.

837
00:32:26,509 --> 00:32:28,816
And unfortunately,
it isn'tjust symbolic.

838
00:32:28,859 --> 00:32:30,557
As crazy

839
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,342
as this sounds,
we have to define truth

840
00:32:33,386 --> 00:32:37,303
and agree on a shared reality

841
00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:39,305
before any real
work can even begin.

842
00:32:39,348 --> 00:32:40,871
[door opens]

843
00:32:40,915 --> 00:32:43,135
Excuse me, sir. Madam Secretary,

844
00:32:43,178 --> 00:32:44,721
you have an urgent
call from Blake Moran.

845
00:32:44,745 --> 00:32:46,660
It's about Typhoon Phoebe.

846
00:32:48,705 --> 00:32:51,621
Please tell me
that it's shifted.

847
00:32:51,665 --> 00:32:53,928
Uh, the American and
European models both

848
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:56,583
have Phoebe making landfall in
Nauru in less than four hours.

849
00:32:56,626 --> 00:32:59,542
She's already a category four.

850
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:02,284
Give me David Akua on SVTC

851
00:33:02,328 --> 00:33:03,720
right away, please.

852
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:05,461
Yes, ma'am.

853
00:33:05,505 --> 00:33:06,897
The USS Comfort

854
00:33:06,941 --> 00:33:08,856
and the amphibious
transport ship San Antonio

855
00:33:08,899 --> 00:33:10,466
are anchored off Yangor.

856
00:33:10,510 --> 00:33:13,600
They can embark every single
Nauruan in less than an hour.

857
00:33:13,643 --> 00:33:15,515
What about our temple?

858
00:33:15,558 --> 00:33:17,821
I'm sorry, we're out of time.

859
00:33:19,388 --> 00:33:20,824
Look outside, David.

860
00:33:20,868 --> 00:33:22,957
The storm surge is rising.

861
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,090
I promised them.
I mean, what-what do I do?

862
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:26,874
Declare martial law.

863
00:33:26,917 --> 00:33:28,876
Order everyone to staging points

864
00:33:28,919 --> 00:33:31,400
and follow the instructions
of Pacific Command.

865
00:33:31,444 --> 00:33:33,402
I-I don't know what to say.

866
00:33:33,446 --> 00:33:35,404
The truth, David.

867
00:33:35,448 --> 00:33:36,492
Even when it hurts.

868
00:33:36,536 --> 00:33:38,451
Even when people
don't want to hear.

869
00:33:38,494 --> 00:33:40,061
It's not that simple!

870
00:33:40,105 --> 00:33:42,411
You don't know what it means to
them, to me.

871
00:33:42,455 --> 00:33:44,718
I... There might be
a chance if we can...

872
00:33:44,761 --> 00:33:46,459
[crashing]David?

873
00:33:46,502 --> 00:33:47,547
David?

874
00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:49,288
[beep]

875
00:33:57,209 --> 00:33:59,515
MATT: Why haven't
we heard anything?

876
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:01,319
DAISY: Well,
the outer storm bands knocked out

877
00:34:01,343 --> 00:34:02,736
our satellite relay in Guam.

878
00:34:02,779 --> 00:34:04,520
Comms are slower than usual.

879
00:34:04,564 --> 00:34:07,349
[phone ringing]

880
00:34:07,393 --> 00:34:08,655
Jay Whitman.

881
00:34:08,698 --> 00:34:10,526
It's PACOM.

882
00:34:11,571 --> 00:34:13,007
Evacuation's complete.

883
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:15,053
Come on. How many?

884
00:34:17,185 --> 00:34:19,144
A few dozen refused
to leave the temple,

885
00:34:19,187 --> 00:34:21,146
but everyone else made
it off before landfall.

886
00:34:21,189 --> 00:34:22,625
What about David?

887
00:34:22,669 --> 00:34:23,887
What about David Akua?

888
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:25,498
Is he on the manifest?

889
00:34:25,541 --> 00:34:27,456
On the USS Comfort.

890
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:29,328
His mom, too.

891
00:34:29,371 --> 00:34:31,112
Thanks, Admiral.

892

894

What about the storm?

898
00:34:42,254 --> 00:34:43,603
JAY: Tracking east.
Possible threat

899
00:34:43,646 --> 00:34:45,561
to Samoa,
but we'll stay on top of it.

900
00:34:47,650 --> 00:34:49,826
All right. Thanks, guys.

901
00:34:49,870 --> 00:34:52,177
Ma'am.

902
00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:55,136
Nina, did Mike B.
Return my call?

903
00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:56,224
No, ma'am.

904
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:01,055
Get my motorcade, will you?

905
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,839
Right away. [Knocking]

906
00:35:02,883 --> 00:35:04,798
Have you looked at the MRI?

907
00:35:04,841 --> 00:35:06,626
What do you mean
you haven't seen it?

908
00:35:06,669 --> 00:35:09,063

917

But, yeah,
I know what you're thinking.

918

Experimental drug

919
00:35:28,735 --> 00:35:30,215
Iffy track record, right?

920
00:35:30,258 --> 00:35:32,304
But desperate times, huh?

921
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:35,872
This is about Gordon, huh?

922
00:35:35,916 --> 00:35:37,744
He has a sarcoma.

923
00:35:37,787 --> 00:35:39,746
It started in his
liver, and now, well,

924
00:35:39,789 --> 00:35:41,661
it's apparently everywhere.

925
00:35:41,704 --> 00:35:44,707
Chemo is not an option,
it's too late for surgery, and

926
00:35:44,751 --> 00:35:46,883
I swear I saved
this to the desktop.

927
00:35:46,927 --> 00:35:49,495
Sweetheart,

928
00:35:49,538 --> 00:35:50,670
bless your heart.

929
00:35:50,713 --> 00:35:52,672
I waited too long. I should have

930
00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:54,563
brought him in weeks ago.
Instead, I blamed the cat.

931
00:35:54,587 --> 00:35:56,589
Mike, you didn't know.

932
00:35:56,632 --> 00:35:58,721
He's old.

933
00:35:58,765 --> 00:36:00,245
Did you get a second opinion?

934
00:36:00,288 --> 00:36:02,203
I got five.

935
00:36:02,247 --> 00:36:03,702
And now they're recommending
palliative care,

936
00:36:03,726 --> 00:36:05,617
which is vet-speak for
"quitting," which I won't do.

937
00:36:05,641 --> 00:36:07,077
We're gonna save you, buddy.

938
00:36:07,121 --> 00:36:09,428
You can help me clear him through E.U.
Customs, right?

939
00:36:09,471 --> 00:36:11,865
I saved it right here on the
desktop, I swear to God.Mike.

940
00:36:11,908 --> 00:36:14,650
Stop.

941
00:36:14,694 --> 00:36:17,175
Just stop, okay?

You know how Truman said

if you want a friend in
Washington, get a dog?

945
00:36:35,454 --> 00:36:38,065
I did.

946
00:36:38,108 --> 00:36:40,154
God, now what?

947
00:36:51,339 --> 00:36:53,298
I'm your friend, Mike.

948
00:36:53,341 --> 00:36:55,125
I'll always be here.

950
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:02,524

came to UVA as a puppy.

[laughing]

952
00:37:04,309 --> 00:37:05,875
He peed in the faculty lounge.

00:37:05,919 --> 00:37:07,312
[laughs]

954
00:37:07,355 --> 00:37:08,748
He peed in my office.

955
00:37:08,791 --> 00:37:10,315
[sniffles]

956
00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:12,534
In my shoes. He, he always

957
00:37:12,578 --> 00:37:14,710
looked right at you when he did
it, too.

958
00:37:14,754 --> 00:37:17,365
Oh, those were the days.

959
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:20,803
Eight hours to Germany.
What am I thinking?

960
00:37:20,847 --> 00:37:22,805
[sighs]

961
00:37:22,849 --> 00:37:25,243
That it's really
hard to say goodbye.

962
00:37:30,813 --> 00:37:32,772
Thank you.

963
00:37:32,815 --> 00:37:34,382
[sniffles]

964
00:37:34,426 --> 00:37:36,036
And I'm sorry about yesterday.

965
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:37,994
Don't worry about it.Ah.

966
00:37:38,038 --> 00:37:40,649
Oh, in your stupid
climate resolution,

967
00:37:40,693 --> 00:37:42,564
you really should add a...
[sniffles]

968
00:37:42,608 --> 00:37:44,914
An expression of sympathy
for the people of Nauru.

969
00:37:44,958 --> 00:37:47,047
No one wants to look
like a heartless jerk

970
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:48,570
for a symbolic vote.

971
00:37:48,614 --> 00:37:50,398
[sniffles]

972
00:37:50,442 --> 00:37:51,704
I thought you quit.

973
00:37:51,747 --> 00:37:53,706
What did I just
say about quitting?

00:37:53,749 --> 00:37:56,970

MAN [on TV]: The Dalton administration
has just put forward a resolution

976
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,889
that takes responsibility
for global warming.

977
00:38:02,932 --> 00:38:06,327
Now, your father called
it "toxic propaganda."

978
00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:09,504
With respect, I disagree.

979
00:38:09,548 --> 00:38:12,812
I love my dad, but he's so
afraid of government regulation

980

ignore 99.9% of scientists.

when they happen,

987
00:38:25,781 --> 00:38:27,522

The Lord calls us to be
stewards of this Earth.

990

Now, if He really wants
these things to happen,

991
00:38:34,921 --> 00:38:36,836
why would He give us
the power to change it?

992
00:38:36,879 --> 00:38:38,664
I disagree with the
Dalton administration

993

than I could name,

994
00:38:40,143 --> 00:38:43,886
