Braving close enemy fire,
Major Jenkins proceeded

wounded fellow marine,

saved many lives that day.

ten marines are alive today,

And the picnic and the games

I got kicked during a
Krav Maga sparring match.

I'm not allowed to
discuss with you.

It is a privilege, Major.
Would've been a damn fine marine,

58
00:02:44,207 --> 00:02:45,426
but Army won that battle.

Afghanistan, Captain?
Three deploys to Iraq.

2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry.

61
00:02:50,735 --> 00:02:53,695
On the fourth tour, I,
uh, met the IED that ended

62
00:02:53,738 --> 00:02:56,195
that part of my career.
Well, I hope the V.A. came through for you,

63
00:02:56,219 --> 00:02:57,544
unlike some of the
veterans I work with.

64
00:02:57,568 --> 00:02:59,222
Well, let me just say

65
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:01,157
it's been a privilege getting to
work with Dr. McCord on getting

66
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,922
the V.A. Mental Health
Modernization Bill passed. Ah, yes.

00:03:09,711 --> 00:03:11,539
This bill's way overdue.
Couldn't agree more.

71
00:03:11,582 --> 00:03:13,715
I work with newly returned
vets, and I can tell you,

72
00:03:13,758 --> 00:03:15,412
some of the red tape
and computer glitches

73
00:03:15,456 --> 00:03:18,110
at the V.A. can be demoralizing.

74
00:03:18,154 --> 00:03:21,244
I'm afraid I've, uh, cracked

75
00:03:21,288 --> 00:03:23,179
some of the plaster at
the administrative offices

76
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,161
trying to explain that to them.

77
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,225
It's not the V.A.'s fault.

78
00:03:26,249 --> 00:03:29,121
They're understaffed
and underfunded.

79
00:03:29,165 --> 00:03:31,080
Congress needs to do their job.

00:03:32,864 --> 00:03:34,146
So, if there's
anything I can do...

81
00:03:34,170 --> 00:03:35,974
Hell, I'll even do public
service announcements

00:03:35,998 --> 00:03:38,305
wearing my medal if it'll
help pass this bill.

83
00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:40,916
I suppose I don't have to tell you
this, Major, but be careful

84
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:42,502
what you volunteer for,
and I have a witness.

85
00:03:42,526 --> 00:03:44,920
Oh, with mean follow-through.

Veterans' Affairs Committee

notify the committee.

sitting here all day?

95

96
00:04:14,993 --> 00:04:16,952
Oh, well, the day's not over.

97
00:04:16,995 --> 00:04:18,780
I will wash them, Mom.

98
00:04:18,823 --> 00:04:22,436
If I were Mom,
I'd wash them for you.

99
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,307
You need to get out
of this apartment.

100
00:04:24,351 --> 00:04:25,917

Did you call Stevie?

102
00:04:30,139 --> 00:04:33,534
No. I'm a little preoccupied
with becoming a U.S. citizen.

they don't make this stuff easy.

are you going to call Stevie?

00:04:46,721 --> 00:04:49,419
Look, I-I have three
goals while I'm here:

110
00:04:49,463 --> 00:04:51,378
to become a U.S. citizen,

111
00:04:51,421 --> 00:04:55,295
to get a job, and to-to spend
some time with my sister.

112

113

I'm-I'm not so sure she
wants to hear from me.

117
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:07,437
If only there was
a way to find out.

118
00:05:07,481 --> 00:05:09,221
Ah, but then you'd
have to give up

119
00:05:09,265 --> 00:05:12,050
this tortured state and...

120
00:05:12,094 --> 00:05:15,271
really find out how she feels.

121

Well,
you're right about one thing.

122
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:23,235

124
00:05:28,023 --> 00:05:29,416
as press secretary

125
00:05:29,459 --> 00:05:31,809
to then Secretary of
State Elizabeth McCord?

126
00:05:31,853 --> 00:05:32,984
DAISY: No.

127
00:05:33,028 --> 00:05:34,812
But I did meet the
Iranian delegation

128
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:36,945
when they came here for
the signing of the treaty.

129
00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:39,382
Can you tell me if you got
to know any Iranian nationals

130
00:05:39,426 --> 00:05:41,428
during their time here? Yes.

131
00:05:41,471 --> 00:05:42,994
Because of my work,
I dealt mostly

132
00:05:43,038 --> 00:05:45,475
with the Iranian reporters
who were here for the signing,

133
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:47,608
but I haven't really kept
in touch with any of them.

134
00:05:47,651 --> 00:05:49,411
HANSON: Surely some of
them reached out to you

135
00:05:49,436 --> 00:05:51,307

136
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,091

assaulting a man in a bar.

00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,552
Yeah, translation:
the woman candidate

146
00:06:18,595 --> 00:06:20,292
walked off her bus after a nap

147
00:06:20,336 --> 00:06:22,469
and didn't refresh her makeup.
Please.Mm-hmm.

148
00:06:22,512 --> 00:06:25,646
Or how about the question
TV news anchors love to ask:

149
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:27,430
Is she tough enough?
Is she tough enough?

150
00:06:27,474 --> 00:06:28,799
I don't...
This is what I don't understand.

151
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:30,302
She's a former CIA operative

152
00:06:30,346 --> 00:06:33,871

an attempted coup in Iran.

153
00:06:33,915 --> 00:06:35,743
Mm-hmm. Meanwhile,
most members of Congress

154
00:06:35,786 --> 00:06:37,309
can't even mow their lawn.

155
00:06:37,353 --> 00:06:39,224
Why don't they just come
out with it and say,

156
00:06:39,268 --> 00:06:41,444
"Why can't we go back to
the good old days when women

157
00:06:41,488 --> 00:06:43,228
"and cattle could
be used as currency

158
00:06:43,272 --> 00:06:45,796
and then burned as witches
when they got too saucy?"

159
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,364
Not the cattle,
unless it's barbecue sauce.

160
00:06:51,323 --> 00:06:53,630
Oh, that's too dark for you tadpoles?
Okay, I'm out.

161
00:06:53,674 --> 00:06:55,347
See you tomorrow. Early.
BLAKE: Good night.

162
00:06:55,371 --> 00:06:56,764
Bye. Yeah, yeah.

163
00:06:56,807 --> 00:06:57,915
DAISY: Nina was working
at the State Department

164
00:06:57,939 --> 00:06:59,003
and wasn't a part
of the campaign.

165
00:06:59,027 --> 00:07:00,463
Oh, she's here.

166
00:07:00,507 --> 00:07:01,812
But since we were in town,

167
00:07:01,856 --> 00:07:04,162
we invited her to join
us out for a drink.

168
00:07:04,206 --> 00:07:05,357
BLAKE: How about the-the
reporter the other day

169
00:07:05,381 --> 00:07:06,817
who was talking
about the "tidiness"

170
00:07:06,861 --> 00:07:09,341
of the, uh, campaign bus.
Where you going, sweetheart?

171
00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:10,884
Who you here to see? Me?
Let me buy you a drink. Sorry? Oh.

172
00:07:10,908 --> 00:07:12,843
No, I'm not here to see you.
I see my friends, actually.

173
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:14,477
Hi.Hey, wait a second.
Those glasses...

174
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:17,001
BLAKE: Cleanliness of a male
candidate's campaign bus?

175
00:07:17,045 --> 00:07:18,196
WOMAN: And it really
wasn't even that tidy.

176
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:20,048
We all remember the smell.

177
00:07:20,091 --> 00:07:21,591
Nina. [Laughs]Those glasses really
bring out the color of your eyes.

178
00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:23,443
Hi! [Laughs]Glad
you could make it.

179
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:25,532
Oh, no, no. Hey, hey.
Ready for a drink?

180
00:07:25,575 --> 00:07:27,490
It's okay. I got it.
Uh, maybe later.

181
00:07:27,534 --> 00:07:28,665
She's here to meet us.Yeah.

182
00:07:28,709 --> 00:07:30,667
Oh, I get it.

183
00:07:30,711 --> 00:07:33,496
Hey, I'm cool with
that, if I can watch.

184
00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:35,193
Okay. Bye.
Oh, no, no, no. Sorry.

185
00:07:35,237 --> 00:07:36,954
Good night. Hey, you're both...
I mean, you're both really hot.

186
00:07:36,978 --> 00:07:38,370
Bye. Ew.Oh, come on!

187
00:07:38,414 --> 00:07:39,937
Stop being bitches about it.

188
00:07:39,981 --> 00:07:41,373
Oh, my God.Hey.

189
00:07:41,417 --> 00:07:43,158
I'm talking to you! [grunts]

190
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:44,768

193
00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:51,514
Help!

194
00:07:51,558 --> 00:07:53,560
WOMAN: See if he's all right.
Someone call 911!

195
00:07:53,603 --> 00:07:55,451
MAN: It's all right, we got him.
Someone call the police!

196
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,433
Oh! DAISY: It was a reflex.

197
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:59,696
I had been studying Krav
Maga, and they train you

198
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:02,786
to react to being grabbed from
behind, which I was.

199
00:08:02,830 --> 00:08:05,572
Of course,
the police and an ambulance came.

200
00:08:05,615 --> 00:08:06,790
The paramedics

201
00:08:06,834 --> 00:08:08,139
refused to take the guy,

202
00:08:08,183 --> 00:08:10,098
but the police brought
me in for questioning

203
00:08:10,141 --> 00:08:11,795
because there was
a lot of blood.

204
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:13,493
And screaming.

205
00:08:14,581 --> 00:08:16,539
I think we're done
for this session.

206
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:18,802
Resume tomorrow, same time.

207
00:08:20,064 --> 00:08:22,502
Is it, uh,
too much to wear the medal?

208
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:23,633
No, no.

209
00:08:23,677 --> 00:08:25,592
Not many of these
guys have seen combat,

210
00:08:25,635 --> 00:08:28,682
so it might help to get
their full attention.

211

Lorraine.

212
00:08:31,423 --> 00:08:33,904
Dr. Henry McCord and
Major Brad Jenkins here

213
00:08:33,948 --> 00:08:36,428
to give their testimony
before the committee.Oh.

214
00:08:36,472 --> 00:08:37,667
Dr.
McCord, I called your office,

215
00:08:37,691 --> 00:08:39,693
but you had already left.
I'm so sorry.

216
00:08:39,736 --> 00:08:40,974
The committee
adjourned for the day.

217
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:42,696
What? Nobody called my cell.

218
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:43,697
Typical.

219
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:45,002
EVAN: We confirmed with.

220
00:08:45,046 --> 00:08:47,048
Senator Peoples' office
less than an hour ago.

221
00:08:47,091 --> 00:08:49,616
I'm just so sorry. HENRY: Okay.

222
00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:51,594
Thank you. Uh, Brad,
I will get to the bottom of this.

223
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:53,271
This is dirty politics, Henry.

224
00:08:53,315 --> 00:08:54,795
It could well be.

225
00:08:54,838 --> 00:08:56,686
This is how vets are treated
every day in this country.

226
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:59,626
All this "thank you
for your service" crap.

227
00:08:59,669 --> 00:09:02,498
I'd trade every
superficial platitude

228
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:06,110
for just one minute of evidence
that somebody somewhere cares.

229
00:09:06,154 --> 00:09:08,286
But you know what? They don't.

230
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:10,680
You guys are vets.
You know it's the truth.

231
00:09:10,724 --> 00:09:12,290
I understand how you feel.

232
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:14,336
I'm sick of that one, too.

233
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:15,772
Call me when
somebody around here

234
00:09:15,816 --> 00:09:18,079
gets serious about
doing something.

235
00:09:20,429 --> 00:09:23,214
Sir, Dr. Henry McCord
would like a word.

236
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:24,607
Dr. McCord.

237
00:09:24,651 --> 00:09:26,000
Thank you, Alma.[door closes]

238
00:09:26,043 --> 00:09:27,630
HENRY: Senator,
you owe me an explanation.

239
00:09:27,654 --> 00:09:30,221
I requested to bring a war
hero before your committee.

240
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,572
What the hell happened?

241
00:09:32,615 --> 00:09:35,009
Look, I'm sorry. I really am.

242
00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:37,272
I called your office...
No, I don't want to hear

243
00:09:37,315 --> 00:09:39,056
about scheduling conflicts.

244
00:09:41,015 --> 00:09:43,191
Just tell me the truth.

245
00:09:43,234 --> 00:09:46,150
You're right.
You're entitled to that.

246
00:09:46,194 --> 00:09:48,588
I was advised to cancel
Major Jenkins' appearance

247
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:49,937
by someone at the White House.

248
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,243
The White House?

249
00:09:52,287 --> 00:09:53,636
Who?

250
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,073

That was cute.

[laughs] What do you really mean?
Pointless.

264
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:42,685
Ah.You have a
veteran's bill to pass,

265
00:10:42,729 --> 00:10:44,818
this lawn is literally
crawling with decorated heroes

266
00:10:44,861 --> 00:10:46,665
and their kids,
and the press is nowhere to be found.

267
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:48,343
This is not about the
press, Mike.

268
00:10:48,386 --> 00:10:49,997
I'm sorry, I can't...
I can't hear you,

269
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,912
like I can't hear a tree
falling in the woods

270
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:54,131
because there's no
photographer or anyone.

271

Have a good time, Mike.
Don't bring popcorn.

Hey, Russell.

I'm having a hot dog.

I don't care if it kills me.

Hear what happened

285
00:11:19,113 --> 00:11:21,115
at the Veterans' Affairs
Committee meeting?

286
00:11:21,158 --> 00:11:24,074
Just that Brad Jenkins was
gonna take your speaking slot,

287
00:11:24,118 --> 00:11:25,902
address the committee.

288
00:11:25,946 --> 00:11:27,948
Senator Peoples cancelled it.

289
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:29,776
I confronted him and he told me

290
00:11:29,819 --> 00:11:32,474
that the vice president told him
not to let Major Jenkins speak.

291
00:11:32,517 --> 00:11:34,171
[sighs]

292
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:37,131
Thanks. Look, I know that

293
00:11:37,174 --> 00:11:39,046
Elizabeth and Carlos
have an agreement.

294
00:11:39,089 --> 00:11:42,092
He doesn't have to fall in line
with every policy she supports.

295
00:11:42,136 --> 00:11:44,268
But he's not supposed to
publicly oppose her, either.

296
00:11:44,312 --> 00:11:46,053
Well, I got to tell you, Henry,

297
00:11:46,096 --> 00:11:49,796
technically, Carlos did this
behind the scenes, not publicly.

298
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,058
You're honestly gonna tell me

299
00:11:51,101 --> 00:11:52,426
that this in the spirit
of the arrangement?

300
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:54,583
I don't know what the
hell this arrangement is.

301
00:11:54,626 --> 00:11:56,280
It's never been done before,

302
00:11:56,324 --> 00:11:59,370
so it's still being... arranged.

303
00:11:59,414 --> 00:12:01,372
I'm gonna talk to
the vice president.

304
00:12:01,416 --> 00:12:03,287
Major Jenkins should be heard.

305
00:12:03,331 --> 00:12:04,854
And it will help the bill.

306
00:12:04,898 --> 00:12:08,162
Much like eating this hot dog,
I think that's a bad idea.

307
00:12:08,205 --> 00:12:11,469
Talking to the vice president
risks angering him enough

308
00:12:11,513 --> 00:12:13,733
to go public with his
views on the bill.

309
00:12:13,776 --> 00:12:16,300
Then add to that
this ridiculous.

310
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:17,998

want this hot dog.

If we get this oneWhoa.

316
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,492
We can make a main
dish on the one burner

317
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:36,514
and still be able to heat up
a side on the other one, huh?

318
00:12:36,538 --> 00:12:38,583
Main dish? Side dish?
Are you the same manYeah.

00:12:38,627 --> 00:12:41,978

Avenging Angel Survival Kit?

All right, look, I'm...
I'm a very complicated,

00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:45,765
yet simple camper, see?

camper who doesn't camp.

My whole family does.

I do, too.

Can I take a selfie with you?

Hey, got to have it, right?

00:13:12,704 --> 00:13:15,185
Yes. What is it?

336
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:16,549
Though Senator
Peoples and I share

337
00:13:16,578 --> 00:13:18,188
the same party affiliation,

338
00:13:18,232 --> 00:13:21,104
I would never interfere with
how he runs his committee.

339
00:13:21,148 --> 00:13:23,193
I mean, I did share
with him my feeling that

340
00:13:23,237 --> 00:13:25,979
we should delay the markup
and consideration of the bill

341
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:27,589
until the merits
of vets choosing

342
00:13:27,632 --> 00:13:28,938
their own health care specialist

system is fully explained.

Henry, I'm sorry.

here is rational debate,

00:13:39,035 --> 00:13:41,429
not grandstanding with a
Medal of Honor recipient.

348
00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:43,039
Come on. This is a guy, who,

349
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:45,563
in addition to his
real-world knowledge,

350
00:13:45,607 --> 00:13:48,262
uh, is well-versed
in public policy.

351
00:13:48,305 --> 00:13:50,481
And I mean no
disrespect to the major.

352
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:52,744
I'm-I'm just saying, I believe

353
00:13:52,788 --> 00:13:55,182
that those that have sacrificed

354
00:13:55,225 --> 00:13:58,968
for our freedom deserve to
have the freedom themselves

355
00:13:59,012 --> 00:14:01,101
to choose how and where
they get their care.

356
00:14:01,144 --> 00:14:03,277
Privatization is cheaper, right?

357
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,408
Is that what this is about?

358
00:14:04,452 --> 00:14:06,846
It's part of every
bill, as it should be.

359
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:09,283
Look, the president's
ESI bill did not turn out

360
00:14:09,326 --> 00:14:11,067
to be revenue
neutral as promised.

361
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:12,547
We cannot have that again.

362
00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:14,549
I mean no disrespect
to the major or to you.

363
00:14:14,592 --> 00:14:16,594
I have my reservations
about the bill.

364
00:14:16,638 --> 00:14:18,074
Elizabeth knows about it.

365
00:14:18,118 --> 00:14:20,424
Elizabeth didn't bring
an expert to a committee

366
00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:23,210
only to have the door
shut in her face.

367
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:25,081
I'm sorry it felt that way.

368
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:26,517
It was not intended.

369
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:30,913
Okay, now, bear spray...
that seems like a no-brainer, right?

370
00:14:30,957 --> 00:14:32,915
Mm-hmm.
Unless you prefer the bear bell.

371
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,570
Oh, yeah.

372
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:38,529
And... if you hate birds,

373
00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:39,966
there is bird repellent.

374
00:14:40,009 --> 00:14:41,793
What?[both laugh]

375
00:14:41,837 --> 00:14:43,186
Wow.

376
00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:44,448
There's also not camping.

377
00:14:44,492 --> 00:14:46,015
Just another option.

378
00:14:46,059 --> 00:14:47,103
Uh, no, not an option.

379
00:14:47,147 --> 00:14:48,104
We are committed to this.

380
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:49,497
I'm just saying.Geez.

381
00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:52,369
You know,
why go camping if you hate birds?

382
00:14:52,413 --> 00:14:54,110
GRIFFIN: Okay,
let's just get into

383
00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:56,112
the, uh, camping mind frame.

384
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,436
All right, let's pick... Stevie?

385
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,248
I-I am Talia, Dmitri's sister?

386
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:03,250
Oh, my God.

387
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:05,295
Sorry. One second.

388
00:15:06,383 --> 00:15:08,516
I can't believe
we have never met.

389
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:10,257
Me too.
I've seen pictures of you.

390
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:11,998
Me too.Wow.

391
00:15:12,041 --> 00:15:13,956
Uh, how funny to run into you.

392
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,455
Yeah. I just came in
to get a flashlight.

393
00:15:15,479 --> 00:15:18,134
Oh, well,
they have a mind-boggling variety.

394
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:20,615
Um... how's Dmitri?

395
00:15:20,658 --> 00:15:22,356
He's fine.

396
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,053
Good. Listen,

397
00:15:24,097 --> 00:15:27,056
um, I can't believe
how lucky this is.

398
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,233
Uh, I've been invited
to attend a roundtable

399
00:15:30,277 --> 00:15:33,106
of hospital executives
and health care workers

400
00:15:33,149 --> 00:15:35,673
to discuss health services
for poor communities.

401
00:15:35,717 --> 00:15:39,242
Oh, wow. I know you work
for a human rights group.

402
00:15:39,286 --> 00:15:41,201
I bet you have some insights.

403
00:15:41,244 --> 00:15:43,681
Yeah, actually,
we are working on a program right now

404
00:15:43,725 --> 00:15:46,336
that is geared toward
mothers without insurance.

405
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,295
Oh. My God.

406
00:15:48,338 --> 00:15:50,862
That's exactly the kind of
thing we're trying to improve.

407
00:15:50,906 --> 00:15:54,475
I hate to be pushy,
but the roundtable is tomorrow.

408
00:15:54,518 --> 00:15:59,001
Any chance we can have a
drink or coffee this evening?

409
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:01,699
Uh, just a half an hour
or so would be incredible.

410
00:16:01,743 --> 00:16:04,180
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I can do that.

411
00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:07,314
Um, here. Just, if you give me

412
00:16:07,357 --> 00:16:09,881
your number,
I'll text you later.

413
00:16:09,925 --> 00:16:11,405
[laughs]

414
00:16:13,407 --> 00:16:14,364
[gavel bangs]

415
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:15,800
HANSON: Resuming the testimony

416
00:16:15,844 --> 00:16:17,411
of Daisy Grant.

417
00:16:17,454 --> 00:16:19,369
Can you tell us, Ms.
Grant, why no charges

418
00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:21,415
were filed against you
even though you were taken

419
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,156
to the police station
for that purpose?

420
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:24,809
Because I was cleared
of wrongdoing,

421
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:27,203
which the police determined
after they were given a video

422
00:16:27,247 --> 00:16:29,075
taken by a patron at the bar.

423
00:16:29,118 --> 00:16:31,251
I have the police report
here, and it states

424
00:16:31,294 --> 00:16:32,774
that you informed the police

425
00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:34,257
that you worked for
Secretary McCord.

426
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:38,258
So really that's...
that's why the police let you go.

427
00:16:38,301 --> 00:16:40,825
The term for it is
"color of office."

428
00:16:40,869 --> 00:16:42,827
You abused your position.

429
00:16:42,871 --> 00:16:46,135
Okay, that...
that is not what happened.

430
00:16:46,179 --> 00:16:49,399
And what is your occupation?

431
00:16:49,443 --> 00:16:51,097
I'm a press secretary.

432
00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:53,316
What is the address of
your place of employment?

433
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,926
No, it's actually a bus.

434
00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:56,319
I'm mostly on the road.

435
00:16:56,363 --> 00:16:57,799
Who is your employer, Ms. Grant?

436
00:16:57,842 --> 00:16:59,801
Is this necessary information?

437
00:16:59,844 --> 00:17:00,952
I mean,
my employer wasn't involved.

438
00:17:00,976 --> 00:17:02,108
Why do you need to know?

439
00:17:02,151 --> 00:17:03,413
You just assaulted

440
00:17:03,457 --> 00:17:05,502
and inflicted injury
on a man in a bar.

441
00:17:05,546 --> 00:17:07,896
It might be in your best
interest to cooperate

442
00:17:07,939 --> 00:17:09,941
with the police, ma'am.

443
00:17:12,379 --> 00:17:14,816
I'm the press secretary
for Elizabeth McCord

444
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:16,513
and her presidential campaign.

445
00:17:16,557 --> 00:17:19,212
But I still don't see what
this has to do with anything.

446
00:17:19,255 --> 00:17:21,083
I got to fill out these forms, Ms.
Grant.

447
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,912
[scoffs]

448
00:17:23,955 --> 00:17:26,610
OLIVIA: Senator,
no color of office existed.

449
00:17:26,654 --> 00:17:30,266
Elizabeth McCord was no
longer secretary of state

450
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:32,007
and had not been
elected president.

451
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:33,356
And Ms. Grant was no longer

452
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,401
a federal employee.

453
00:17:34,444 --> 00:17:36,359
[woman clears throat]

454
00:17:43,627 --> 00:17:46,195
I think we will end
this session here.

455
00:17:46,239 --> 00:17:48,241
Thank you both. You are excused.

456
00:17:48,284 --> 00:17:49,590
[gavel bangs]

457
00:17:49,633 --> 00:17:51,331
[gallery murmuring]

458
00:17:51,374 --> 00:17:52,854
[piano playing]

459
00:17:52,897 --> 00:17:54,421
[indistinct conversations]

460
00:18:12,961 --> 00:18:14,963
Wha...

461
00:18:23,798 --> 00:18:25,147
Oh.

462
00:18:25,191 --> 00:18:28,542
It... It's fine.
He's, um, a friend.

463
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:33,938
Hi. I...

464
00:18:33,982 --> 00:18:35,897
I can't believe
that you're here.

465
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,986
Um, Talia didn't tell me

466
00:18:38,029 --> 00:18:39,572
that you were...
That she was setting us up?

467
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:41,468
Yeah. Uh, yeah,
she told me to meet her here

468
00:18:41,511 --> 00:18:43,905
so that I could, uh,
approve a new guy she's dating.

469
00:18:43,948 --> 00:18:47,648
Mm.
She knew how to get you here.

470
00:18:47,691 --> 00:18:50,172
Uh, my sister watches
too many romcoms.

471
00:18:50,216 --> 00:18:52,348
[short chuckle]

472
00:18:52,392 --> 00:18:54,916
Sit, please. Sit down. Sit.

473
00:18:58,485 --> 00:19:00,356
How long have you been back?

474
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,185
Uh... a couple of weeks.

475
00:19:03,229 --> 00:19:06,406
Um, because of the treaty,
it's now safe for me.

476
00:19:06,449 --> 00:19:08,712
Oh.But I'm not
really here for good.

477
00:19:08,756 --> 00:19:11,367
I'm just, uh,
I'm studying to become a citizen.

478
00:19:11,411 --> 00:19:13,630
Um, I'm staying with my sister.

479
00:19:13,674 --> 00:19:15,458
Mm-hmm.
And I may kill her after this,

480
00:19:15,502 --> 00:19:17,982
so that... that might
interfere with the process.

481
00:19:19,332 --> 00:19:21,464
So, she was coming

482
00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:24,728
to the camping store to find...
me?

483
00:19:25,729 --> 00:19:27,601
I'm sorry. Uh... [laughs]

484
00:19:27,644 --> 00:19:29,472
She probably stalked
you on social media.

485
00:19:29,516 --> 00:19:32,345
Uh... a good spy.

486
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:35,348
Runs in the family.

487
00:19:35,391 --> 00:19:38,481
So... was I gonna hear from you?

488
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:41,789
I-I wasn't sure.

489
00:19:41,832 --> 00:19:45,053
Uh... I-I knew you
were seeing someone.

490
00:19:47,142 --> 00:19:48,728
I might occasionally
look at your Instagram.

491
00:19:48,752 --> 00:19:50,145
Right.

492
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:54,018
Yeah. I mean, that's-that's...
allowed.

493
00:19:54,062 --> 00:19:56,238
Um...

494
00:19:56,282 --> 00:19:58,458
What about you? Are you...

495
00:19:58,501 --> 00:19:59,459
seeing anyone?

496
00:19:59,502 --> 00:20:01,243
Are you kidding?

497
00:20:01,287 --> 00:20:02,655
You wouldn't believe
the big social scene

498
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:04,855
at the-at the listening
station in Alaska.

499
00:20:04,899 --> 00:20:07,336
Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, uh,
sometimes the parties...

500
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:10,252
They lasted all night,
which gets crazy in the winter,

501
00:20:10,296 --> 00:20:12,646
because night lasts all day.

502
00:20:14,082 --> 00:20:16,519
So... no? No.

503
00:20:16,563 --> 00:20:18,652
[both laugh]Okay.

504
00:20:18,695 --> 00:20:22,569
You-You've been seeing
this guy a long time?

505
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:25,528
No, not very long. Um...

506
00:20:25,572 --> 00:20:28,096
Yeah, we're going...

507
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:30,533
camping this weekend

508
00:20:30,577 --> 00:20:32,492
at Shenandoah National Park.

509
00:20:32,535 --> 00:20:35,495
So if we survive
that, I guess it's...

510
00:20:35,538 --> 00:20:37,497
it's officially a relationship.

511
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:39,194
[laughs]

512
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:40,935
Sounds like fun.

513
00:20:40,978 --> 00:20:43,111
Mm-hmm. But if you see

514
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:44,939
a bear,
just don't look him in the eye.

515
00:20:44,982 --> 00:20:46,984
Or do. I can't remember.

516
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:49,465
Uh, well, we have a bear bell.

517
00:20:49,509 --> 00:20:50,640
A bear... horn? Bell...

518
00:20:50,684 --> 00:20:51,946
Yeah. No, I'm not sure.

519
00:20:51,989 --> 00:20:53,817
Just don't see a bear.
That... Yeah, that's...

520
00:20:53,861 --> 00:20:55,297
[laughs]Might be better.

521
00:20:55,341 --> 00:20:57,560
It's great advice. Great advice.

522
00:20:57,604 --> 00:20:59,954
[door opens]
ELIZABETH: Were you on

523
00:20:59,997 --> 00:21:01,521
with Brad Jenkins
that whole time?

524
00:21:01,564 --> 00:21:02,565
HENRY: Yeah.

525
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:03,871
To say he's really passionate

526
00:21:03,914 --> 00:21:06,526
about the V.A.
bill is an understatement.

527
00:21:06,569 --> 00:21:08,832
Well, now you're
here, I need you.

528
00:21:08,876 --> 00:21:11,182
I like the sound of that.

529
00:21:11,226 --> 00:21:14,055
Will you do that thing
you do to my shoulders?

530
00:21:14,098 --> 00:21:16,057
It's... Oh.

531
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,102
Well,
don't look so disappointed.

532
00:21:18,146 --> 00:21:19,669
[sighs]

533
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:21,541
Magic shoulder rubs
have been known

534
00:21:21,584 --> 00:21:24,631
to lead to better things.

535
00:21:24,674 --> 00:21:26,067
I serve at the pleasure.

536
00:21:26,110 --> 00:21:28,635
[sighs] Oh!

537
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,550
So... Mm.

538
00:21:30,593 --> 00:21:33,030
Brad gave me his numbers...

539
00:21:33,074 --> 00:21:36,077
87, 12 and ten.

540
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,427
That's 87 enemy
combatants killed

541
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:41,474
and the collaterals...
12 women, ten children.

542
00:21:41,517 --> 00:21:42,518
Oh.[exhales]

543
00:21:42,562 --> 00:21:44,781
He has to live with
that every day.

544
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:48,307
Well,
you know something about that.

545
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,483
Well, yeah,
I was dropping bombs,

546
00:21:50,526 --> 00:21:53,181
but I wasn't there
on the ground.

547
00:21:53,224 --> 00:21:56,663
So, I have an understanding
of Brad's passion

548
00:21:56,706 --> 00:21:58,752
for this modernization bill,

549
00:21:58,795 --> 00:22:00,033
and it makes me even
angrier at Carlos

550
00:22:00,057 --> 00:22:02,059
for not letting him
talk to the committee.

551
00:22:02,103 --> 00:22:03,322
I'm sorry about Carlos.

552
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:05,324
But you know my deal with him.

553
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:07,519
He gets to have his own voice.
Yeah, but it was embarrassing.

554
00:22:07,543 --> 00:22:09,937
Brad was clearly humiliated.

555
00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:11,504
Well, look,

556
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:13,201
with or without Carlos,

557
00:22:13,244 --> 00:22:14,961
we're gonna figure out
a way to get this bill

558
00:22:14,985 --> 00:22:16,552
over the finish line.

559
00:22:16,596 --> 00:22:18,424
[groans] Over to the left.

560
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:20,991
I thought we had the left.

561
00:22:22,602 --> 00:22:23,777
No.

562
00:22:23,820 --> 00:22:25,779
You, over to the left. Oh, oh.

563
00:22:25,822 --> 00:22:26,780
That's... Yeah.

564
00:22:26,823 --> 00:22:27,781
How's that?

565
00:22:27,824 --> 00:22:29,783
So good.

566
00:22:29,826 --> 00:22:33,395
I'm actually having lunch with
Senator Peoples of Kentucky.

567
00:22:33,439 --> 00:22:34,875
[sighs] I can't believe

568
00:22:34,918 --> 00:22:36,243
that guy's chairman of the
Veterans' Affairs Committee.

569
00:22:36,267 --> 00:22:38,226
But good. Great.Yeah.

570
00:22:38,269 --> 00:22:40,794
I think he just needs a little...
shove

571
00:22:40,837 --> 00:22:42,535
to get the bill
out of committee.

572
00:22:42,578 --> 00:22:43,536
He sure does.

573
00:22:43,579 --> 00:22:45,407
Yeah.

574
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:47,540
Babe.Oh.

575
00:22:47,583 --> 00:22:49,716
I've got a meeting
tomorrow with Brad

576
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:51,805
and a couple other
veteran activists

577
00:22:51,848 --> 00:22:53,589
to go over the media
campaign for the bill.

578
00:22:53,633 --> 00:22:54,871
I got to go write
down some thoughts.

579
00:22:54,895 --> 00:22:56,113
Okay. Will you come back?

580
00:22:56,157 --> 00:22:57,854
Always. [chuckles softly]

581
00:22:57,898 --> 00:22:58,855
[door opens][chuckles]

582
00:22:58,899 --> 00:23:01,075
[sighs] Hey. Sorry.

583
00:23:01,118 --> 00:23:02,816
Uh, am I interrupting something?

584
00:23:02,859 --> 00:23:04,774
I can... [chuckles]No, no, no.

585
00:23:04,818 --> 00:23:06,385
I just came to borrow
your hiking boots.

586
00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:08,822
It's the only thing
that, uh, I forgot to get

587
00:23:08,865 --> 00:23:10,171
on my list. Hiking?

588
00:23:10,214 --> 00:23:11,627
Griffin and I are going
camping this weekend.

589
00:23:11,651 --> 00:23:13,435
It's, like, a whole ordeal.
[Chuckles]

590
00:23:13,479 --> 00:23:15,437
It would actually just
be cheaper at this point

591
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:17,570
to check into a Four
Seasons.[chuckles]

592
00:23:17,613 --> 00:23:19,813
Um, hey, did you guys know
that Dmitri was back in town?

593
00:23:21,661 --> 00:23:24,707
[stammers] Well,
I-I knew he was free to leave his post,

594
00:23:24,751 --> 00:23:25,969
but I didn't know he was here.

595
00:23:26,013 --> 00:23:26,970
Yeah.

596
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:27,971
I ran into him.

597
00:23:28,015 --> 00:23:29,320
Uh, it's a long story.

598
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:31,192
But he's doing well.

599
00:23:31,235 --> 00:23:33,586
Well, that's good.Yeah. No,

600
00:23:33,629 --> 00:23:35,849
you should've seen me and
Griffin at this camping store.

601
00:23:35,892 --> 00:23:37,285
It was like... [chuckles]

602
00:23:37,328 --> 00:23:39,853
I mean,
we were totally clueless,

603
00:23:39,896 --> 00:23:40,854
and there's so much weird stuff.

604
00:23:40,897 --> 00:23:41,855
I mean, it was hilarious.

605
00:23:41,898 --> 00:23:43,596
There was this-this thing.

606
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:47,426
It was called a-a
personal cooling system.

607
00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:48,688
Right?

608
00:23:48,731 --> 00:23:50,167
What is that? [chuckles]

609
00:23:50,211 --> 00:23:52,561
I mean, it's a good thing
that my Secret Service agents

610
00:23:52,605 --> 00:23:53,997
have, like, camping experience,

611
00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:55,956
'cause there's now
an excellent chance

612
00:23:55,999 --> 00:23:57,412
that we will actually survive.
[Chuckles]

613
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:58,785
That's always nice to hear.

614
00:23:58,828 --> 00:23:59,699
Yeah.

615
00:23:59,742 --> 00:24:01,483
Okay.

616
00:24:01,614 --> 00:24:02,484
Stevie? Yeah.

617
00:24:02,528 --> 00:24:03,703
Boots?

618
00:24:03,746 --> 00:24:04,704
What?

619
00:24:04,747 --> 00:24:06,401
Hiking boots?

620
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,708
Oh. Yeah. Where are they?

621
00:24:08,751 --> 00:24:10,797
Out in that hall closet.

622
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,754
Thanks.

623
00:24:11,798 --> 00:24:14,191
[door closes]

624
00:24:14,235 --> 00:24:16,411
Is it just me

625
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:19,632
or do you think she
was overselling a bit?

626
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:24,724
I think we're gonna try
not to think about it.

627
00:24:24,767 --> 00:24:26,116
[chuckles][grunts]

628
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,467
Good luck with that.

629
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:31,470
BLAKE: Conveniently,
as if it were planned,

630
00:24:31,513 --> 00:24:34,864
your lunch with Senator Peoples
cannot extend past 12:45,

631
00:24:34,908 --> 00:24:36,562
because, at 1:00, you have

632
00:24:36,605 --> 00:24:40,217
a photo op with Scotland's
champion Highland fling dancers.

633
00:24:40,261 --> 00:24:43,873
Saved by a prior fling
dancing commitment.

634
00:24:43,917 --> 00:24:45,484
Yes. You're a genius. Hello!

635
00:24:45,527 --> 00:24:47,094
Senator Peoples, right on time.

636
00:24:47,137 --> 00:24:48,661
Well, I'd be a fool to be late

637
00:24:48,704 --> 00:24:50,227
for a date with the
commander in chief.

638
00:24:50,271 --> 00:24:53,448
And to celebrate,
I brought along a bottle of Blue Lid.

639
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:55,537
My family's been making
it since the Prohibition.

640
00:24:55,581 --> 00:24:56,862
Well,
considering where you're from,

641
00:24:56,886 --> 00:24:59,019
I'm... thinking bourbon?
A worthy guess,

642
00:24:59,062 --> 00:25:00,629
but incorrect.

643
00:25:00,673 --> 00:25:01,804
It's a stout ale.

644
00:25:01,848 --> 00:25:02,762
But we do have some lovely

645
00:25:02,805 --> 00:25:04,085
parting gifts for the president.

646
00:25:04,111 --> 00:25:05,871
Would you care to tell
her about them, Blake?

647
00:25:06,896 --> 00:25:09,377
I don't understa...
The senator is pretending

648
00:25:09,420 --> 00:25:10,900
we're in a game show.

649
00:25:12,946 --> 00:25:15,775
Let's you and me go
have some Blue Lid

650
00:25:15,818 --> 00:25:17,341
and quinoa cakes, shall we?

651
00:25:17,385 --> 00:25:18,493
Yes. I'll alert you at 12:45.

652
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,518
Thank you. Yes.

653
00:25:20,867 --> 00:25:22,869
In the beginning,
my grandpa used to strain the ale

654
00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:25,001
through an old
pair of blue jeans.

655
00:25:25,045 --> 00:25:26,805
That's where the color
and the name comes from.

656
00:25:26,829 --> 00:25:28,483
I'm guessing the FDA
wasn't around then.

657
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:31,355
Mm, that's the truth.

658
00:25:31,399 --> 00:25:33,270
These days they add mulberries

659
00:25:33,314 --> 00:25:34,968
during the second
fermentation instead.

660
00:25:35,011 --> 00:25:37,274
The color's the same, but...

661
00:25:37,318 --> 00:25:38,885
the flavor's a lot less earthy.

662
00:25:38,928 --> 00:25:42,149
Definitely sweet.
For good reason.

663
00:25:42,192 --> 00:25:45,544
The sweetness helps cover
up the high alcohol content.

664
00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,173
Would you believe what
you're drinking is

665
00:25:47,197 --> 00:25:50,766
15% alcohol by volume?

666
00:25:50,810 --> 00:25:53,726
Ma... Maybe I should
have another quinoa cake.

667
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:55,075
[laughing]

668
00:25:55,118 --> 00:25:57,686
It can sneak up on
you, that's for sure.

669
00:25:57,730 --> 00:26:00,036
Maybe I should leave a
bottle for you and Dr. McCord

670
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,385
to enjoy together.

671
00:26:01,429 --> 00:26:05,259
Or we can save it
to toast the passing

672
00:26:05,302 --> 00:26:07,130
of the Veterans'
Modernization Bill.

673
00:26:07,174 --> 00:26:09,916
Ah, I was wondering
when you'd get to that.

674
00:26:09,959 --> 00:26:12,875
Listen, I feel bad about
cancelling their appearance

675
00:26:12,919 --> 00:26:14,573
before the committee,

676
00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:16,183
but it's a complicated
situation.

677
00:26:16,226 --> 00:26:18,925
Not that complicated, really.

678
00:26:18,968 --> 00:26:21,884
The Department of Veterans
Affairs has modernized

679
00:26:21,928 --> 00:26:24,147
their appeals process
to everyone's benefit,

680
00:26:24,191 --> 00:26:28,108
and it's time for mental
health to get an overhaul.

681
00:26:28,151 --> 00:26:30,545
I've yet to decide which
way I'm gonna vote,

682
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:32,001
so I would be more
than happy to hear

683
00:26:32,025 --> 00:26:35,376
your full-throated
pitch, Madam President.

684
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:37,421
Oh, I appreciate that.

685
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:38,597
Why don't we start...

686
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,295
with the V.A.'s track record

687
00:26:41,338 --> 00:26:42,905
on processing claims

688
00:26:42,949 --> 00:26:45,342
and follow-up screenings?

689
00:26:46,996 --> 00:26:48,694
Hi, Daisy.

690
00:26:50,173 --> 00:26:51,261
Ma'am. Yeah?

691
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:53,133
Are you okay? Yep.

692
00:26:53,176 --> 00:26:55,962
Uh, your lip is blue.
That's a problem.

693
00:26:56,005 --> 00:26:58,268
But I'm also drunk.Mm-hmm.

694
00:26:58,312 --> 00:27:00,880
Are you headed back to the Oval?

695
00:27:00,923 --> 00:27:03,926
I have a photo op with
the Flinging Dancing.

696
00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:05,188
Scotsmen of... Mm-hmm.

697
00:27:05,232 --> 00:27:07,060
Champions.Mm-hmm.

698
00:27:07,103 --> 00:27:08,801
I think you should come with me,

699
00:27:08,844 --> 00:27:10,822
and maybe tag the vice president
for the photo. I think maybe.

700
00:27:10,846 --> 00:27:12,413
I like your thinking. Let's go.

701
00:27:12,456 --> 00:27:13,501
I think so.

702
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:16,678
Blake, focus on me.Yeah.

703
00:27:16,722 --> 00:27:18,787
We're gonna need some aspirin,
vitamin C and a Gatorade.

704
00:27:18,811 --> 00:27:20,769
Okay. Ooh, not the blue flavor.

705
00:27:20,813 --> 00:27:22,466
Good call.
The president needs to lie down

706
00:27:22,510 --> 00:27:24,164
for about 45 minutes,
uninterrupted.

707
00:27:24,207 --> 00:27:25,774
Okay.

708
00:27:25,818 --> 00:27:28,995
Blue Lip is 15% alcohol, Blake.

709
00:27:29,038 --> 00:27:31,911
Okay.

710
00:27:33,477 --> 00:27:35,044
I'm gonna go lie down. Lie down.

711
00:27:35,088 --> 00:27:35,828
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

712
00:27:35,871 --> 00:27:37,568
Okay.Okay.

713
00:27:39,092 --> 00:27:40,702
[horns honking]

714
00:27:40,746 --> 00:27:42,835
[indistinct chatter]

715
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:49,929
[sound intensifies]

716
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:55,369
[ringing]

717
00:27:56,805 --> 00:27:57,893
Hi, Evan.

718
00:27:57,937 --> 00:27:59,982
EVAN: Hey, Brad.
Tell Henry I'm sorry.

719
00:28:00,026 --> 00:28:02,245
I'm in a hell of a traffic jam.
Hard to tell how long.

720
00:28:02,289 --> 00:28:03,856
They should just
start without me.

721
00:28:03,899 --> 00:28:05,094
I'll-I'll get there
when I get there.

722
00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:06,902
Okay. Good luck.

723
00:28:12,255 --> 00:28:15,476
[horn honking]

724
00:28:16,607 --> 00:28:18,871
[tires screeching]

725
00:28:18,914 --> 00:28:22,570
Damn it! No!

726
00:28:22,613 --> 00:28:23,745
You okay, buddy?

727
00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:25,747
You hit me.
Sorry, I heard your horn.

728
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:27,290
I guess I thought you were moving.
And you hit me

729
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:30,012
after honking like a lunatic.
It wasn't my fault.

730
00:28:30,056 --> 00:28:31,927
It doesn't matter!
You rear-ended me.

731
00:28:31,971 --> 00:28:33,122
We need to exchange information
or I call the police.

732
00:28:33,146 --> 00:28:34,713
Get away from my car.

733
00:28:36,018 --> 00:28:37,846
Get away from my car!

734
00:28:43,243 --> 00:28:45,811
[indistinct chatter]

735
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,041
[sirens approaching]

736
00:29:06,832 --> 00:29:08,790
[indistinct radio chatter]

737
00:29:11,924 --> 00:29:12,881
They're over there

738
00:29:12,925 --> 00:29:14,448
making up their story.

739
00:29:14,491 --> 00:29:16,295
[indistinct conversation]I
was the one who got hit...

740
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:17,756
I-I was just sitting there.

741
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:20,367
He hit me! Stay back, sir.

742
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:21,953
Sir, can you come down from
there, please? No!

743
00:29:21,977 --> 00:29:23,979
Not until you listen to me.

744
00:29:24,023 --> 00:29:25,783
It didn't happen the way
they're gonna say it did.

745
00:29:25,807 --> 00:29:27,785
I just want you to come down and
tell me your side of the story.

746
00:29:27,809 --> 00:29:30,116
Oh, what chance do I
have, two against one?

747
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:32,074
Sir, nothing really
bad has happened here.

748
00:29:32,118 --> 00:29:33,312
It's just a fender bender.
Let's talk about it.

749
00:29:33,336 --> 00:29:36,165
No! No more talk. It's all lies.

750
00:29:36,209 --> 00:29:39,168
I'm gonna end up
getting screwed.

751
00:29:39,212 --> 00:29:41,127
It always happens.
Don't you get it?

752
00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:43,129
Nobody listens
because nobody cares,

753
00:29:43,172 --> 00:29:45,348
and it's never gonna
be any different.

754
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:48,438
Please, sir, come down now.

755
00:29:50,179 --> 00:29:53,008
[voice distorted]:
Come down now.

756
00:29:56,838 --> 00:29:58,100
Gun! Gun!

757
00:29:58,144 --> 00:29:59,145
[gunshots]

758
00:30:04,150 --> 00:30:06,128
REPORTER: [on TV] The shooting
death of Major Jenkins

759
00:30:06,152 --> 00:30:08,850
appears to be a case
of suicide by cop,

760
00:30:08,894 --> 00:30:11,157
as he was unarmed,
but deliberately reached

761
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,811
behind his back.

762
00:30:16,205 --> 00:30:18,729
I thought his
animation was just...

763
00:30:18,773 --> 00:30:20,862
enthusiasm for the legislation.

764
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:23,778
I should have known better,
a guy with his history.

765
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,084
That's taking on a lot, babe.

766
00:30:25,127 --> 00:30:27,913
I just got off the
phone with his wife.

767
00:30:27,956 --> 00:30:31,003
She said that he was
suffering from depression,

768
00:30:31,046 --> 00:30:33,570
probably due to his PTSD.

769
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:35,746
But he stopped going
to see his therapist.

770
00:30:35,790 --> 00:30:37,661
Thought he had it beat.

771
00:30:37,705 --> 00:30:40,447
He said that helping
other vets was enough.

772
00:30:40,490 --> 00:30:43,929
Wow, the poor guy.

773
00:30:43,972 --> 00:30:47,802
People don't realize
what a beast PTSD is.

774
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:50,109
You know,
I was talking to Ellen Hill,

775
00:30:50,152 --> 00:30:51,980
and she was saying that

776
00:30:52,024 --> 00:30:54,678
the suicide rate for veterans

777
00:30:54,722 --> 00:30:57,116
is twice what it
is for civilians.

778
00:30:57,159 --> 00:31:00,467
[sighs]

779
00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:03,035
Brad sent me a copy of the
speech he didn't get to give

780
00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:06,255
before the Veterans Affairs
Committee last night.

781
00:31:06,299 --> 00:31:07,339
It was attached to this...

782
00:31:08,475 --> 00:31:11,043
long, rambling e-mail.

783
00:31:11,086 --> 00:31:13,262
That's another sign.

784
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:15,047
I just put it down
to frustration.

785
00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:16,111
Wanting to get it off his chest.

786
00:31:16,135 --> 00:31:19,225
Well, I think people get good

787
00:31:19,268 --> 00:31:21,314
at-at hiding PTSD.

788
00:31:21,357 --> 00:31:24,099
I worry about Stevie

789
00:31:24,143 --> 00:31:26,145
and what happened to her

790
00:31:26,188 --> 00:31:28,190
in the White House bombing.

791
00:31:28,234 --> 00:31:30,584
Not everyone who experiences
a traumatic event

792
00:31:30,627 --> 00:31:32,194
suffers from PTSD.

793
00:31:32,238 --> 00:31:33,674
That's part of the problem.

794
00:31:33,717 --> 00:31:36,155
It's entirely unpredictable.

795
00:31:36,198 --> 00:31:37,547
What about you?

796
00:31:37,591 --> 00:31:39,810
Not from the Gulf War.
I struggled for a while

797
00:31:39,854 --> 00:31:42,422
after I got shot, but...

798
00:31:42,465 --> 00:31:44,163
And, as you know,
the Fourth of July is

799
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:46,905
no longer my favorite holiday.

800
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,187
I could go a lifetime without
hearing any more fireworks.

801
00:31:49,211 --> 00:31:53,041
Well,
I still struggle with triggers.

802
00:31:54,608 --> 00:31:55,870
Sometimes...

803
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:59,439
when you think I'm
listening to a podcast...

804
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,920
Whale sounds.

805
00:32:01,963 --> 00:32:04,226
Why don't you tell me
when that's happening?

806
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:07,360
Well, 'cause I don't want
to dwell on it, you know?

807
00:32:07,403 --> 00:32:09,971
I mean, that bombing in
Iran was a long time ago.

808
00:32:10,015 --> 00:32:12,365
I feel like I should be over it.

809
00:32:12,408 --> 00:32:13,975
And then there's this thing

810
00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:15,934
where...

811
00:32:19,154 --> 00:32:21,287
if I'm talking about it,

812
00:32:21,330 --> 00:32:24,203
maybe I'm bringing
it into the house.

813
00:32:24,246 --> 00:32:27,989
Like...
like I could keep it at bay

814
00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:31,427
if I just don't give it a name.

815
00:32:33,473 --> 00:32:34,909
I don't think you're
alone in that.

816
00:32:37,259 --> 00:32:40,523
That is why we have
got to educate people

817
00:32:40,567 --> 00:32:43,352
about this issue.

818
00:32:43,396 --> 00:32:45,093
Hey.

819
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:48,401
You can always tell me anything.

820
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:51,665
You too.

821
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:55,886
RUSSELL: Whip count in the
Senate puts the numbers

822
00:32:55,930 --> 00:32:57,323
uncomfortably close.

823
00:32:57,366 --> 00:32:59,586
We'd be lucky to clear a
filibuster by a single vote.

824
00:32:59,629 --> 00:33:01,196
Which is why, crass as it is,

825
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,372
we need to use the death of
the Medal of Honor winner.

826
00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:06,288
Recipient, not winner.
It's not a contest.

827
00:33:06,332 --> 00:33:09,204
My mistake. But this guy died
because he was frustrated

828
00:33:09,248 --> 00:33:11,400
by a system that let him down,
as well as the other vets

829
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,643
he spent his life trying to help.
This bill

830
00:33:13,687 --> 00:33:15,341
could assure that
his life's work

831
00:33:15,384 --> 00:33:16,995
had value, had meaning.

832
00:33:17,038 --> 00:33:19,519
Still, his family...

833
00:33:19,562 --> 00:33:21,216
The man was obviously in pain.

834
00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:22,715
He's got a widow and
two young children.

835
00:33:22,739 --> 00:33:24,654
How will they feel
seeing more of this

836
00:33:24,698 --> 00:33:26,371
in the coming news cycles?
Isn't that exactly why

837
00:33:26,395 --> 00:33:28,180
this legislation
needs to be passed?

838
00:33:28,223 --> 00:33:30,660
I mean, with modernization,
there's a better chance

839
00:33:30,704 --> 00:33:32,638
that guys like Major Jenkins
won't be left out in the cold.

840
00:33:32,662 --> 00:33:35,187
I... I think he would
have wanted that.

841
00:33:35,230 --> 00:33:37,754
I have to say I agree
with Mike on this.

842
00:33:37,798 --> 00:33:39,669
Did not see that coming.

843
00:33:40,757 --> 00:33:43,064
Daisy, what do you think?
It's delicate,

844
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:44,761
but I-I think
there's an approach

845
00:33:44,805 --> 00:33:46,328
that could work for everyone.

846
00:33:46,372 --> 00:33:48,548
Then go ahead,
prepare a press release.

847
00:33:48,591 --> 00:33:50,941
I'll take a look at it
and make my decision then.

848
00:33:50,985 --> 00:33:52,552
Thanks, everyone. Yes, ma'am.

849
00:33:59,167 --> 00:34:00,560
What haven't you told us?

850
00:34:00,603 --> 00:34:02,388
What? I'm hearing that Hanson

851
00:34:02,431 --> 00:34:04,129
is gonna demand that you go back

852
00:34:04,172 --> 00:34:05,410
in front of the
Intelligence Committee

853
00:34:05,434 --> 00:34:06,392
'cause they think you lied.

854
00:34:06,435 --> 00:34:08,307
This is very serious.

855
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:09,308
Do you have any idea
what it's about?

856
00:34:09,351 --> 00:34:11,005
No.

857
00:34:12,398 --> 00:34:14,008
I didn't lie to the committee.

858
00:34:15,836 --> 00:34:18,317
Listen... just be careful.

859
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,448
And smart.

860
00:34:19,492 --> 00:34:21,537
There's a chance this
is just something

861
00:34:21,581 --> 00:34:23,191
where you have to
correct the record.

862
00:34:23,235 --> 00:34:24,192
If so,

863
00:34:24,236 --> 00:34:25,802
do it.

864
00:34:25,846 --> 00:34:27,152
And fast.

865
00:34:31,286 --> 00:34:33,288
[door closes]

866
00:34:38,337 --> 00:34:39,294
HANSON: Ms.
Grant, you are still under oath.

867
00:34:39,338 --> 00:34:42,297
Yes. Uh, and, Senator Hanson,

868
00:34:42,341 --> 00:34:43,951
just let me say that I am happy

869
00:34:43,994 --> 00:34:46,345
to set the record straight
by clarifying any issues.

870
00:34:46,388 --> 00:34:48,390
There is this one item.

871
00:34:48,434 --> 00:34:51,306
The list you provided...
The, uh, the eyewitnesses

872
00:34:51,350 --> 00:34:52,718
to the incident in the bar...
Is this

873
00:34:52,742 --> 00:34:54,918
a complete list? I believe so.

874
00:34:57,312 --> 00:35:00,489
Take a look at this, please.

875
00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:02,796
MAN: [in video] I'm cool with
that, if I can watch.

876
00:35:02,839 --> 00:35:04,145

Oh, uh, I'm sorry.
That's Claudine Bernard.

884

She's a friend who works
at the French embassy.

885
00:35:29,431 --> 00:35:32,347
I forgot she we there that night.
You simply forgot about

886
00:35:32,391 --> 00:35:36,308
your best eyewitness
to the assault?

887
00:35:36,351 --> 00:35:37,894
And the fact that she
should have been included

888
00:35:37,918 --> 00:35:40,703
on the list of foreign nationals
with whom you had contact.

889
00:35:40,747 --> 00:35:42,966
It was a, uh, chaotic night,

890
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:45,230

from the campaign.

more than one drink.

OLIVIA: Senator, Ms.
Grant has been very forthcoming,

893
00:35:50,539 --> 00:35:53,499
and this lapse is one that
can be easily remedied

894
00:35:53,542 --> 00:35:55,457

foreign nationals list

895
00:35:55,501 --> 00:35:59,157
to include Claudine Bernard.
I'd like to add that

896
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,942
this omission is
hardly egregious,

897
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:04,553
considering that
France is an extremely

898
00:36:04,597 --> 00:36:06,120
close ally.

899
00:36:07,556 --> 00:36:09,036
Very well.

900
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:10,951
Please see to that.

901

And thank you for
your cooperation.

902
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:17,436
It's okay.

903
00:36:26,967 --> 00:36:28,229
Hey, so, quick question.

904
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:30,971
I, uh, I bought a lot
of different kinds of

905
00:36:31,014 --> 00:36:32,166
tick repellent for this trip.

906
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,018
You know,
sprays as well as a balm.

907
00:36:35,062 --> 00:36:37,586
But, uh,
since your secret service detail

908
00:36:37,630 --> 00:36:39,066
are right there behind us,

909
00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:40,609
and they are technically
here to protect you,

910
00:36:40,633 --> 00:36:43,462
are they responsible
for warding off ticks?

911
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:49,032
Um, you know,
I think I'm-I'm on my own on that one.

912
00:36:49,076 --> 00:36:50,140
Oh, yeah, I guess. Uh, yeah,

913
00:36:50,164 --> 00:36:52,514
I just can't really see
them, like,

914
00:36:52,558 --> 00:36:54,081
spraying me down

915
00:36:54,124 --> 00:36:56,953
or, um, giving me a skin check.

916
00:36:56,997 --> 00:36:58,397
Yeah, good point.
Well, that's okay.

917
00:36:58,433 --> 00:37:01,175
We're good, we're good,
because I also brought

918
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:03,351
something called a tick key,

919
00:37:03,395 --> 00:37:05,353
and something called
a tick nipper.

920
00:37:05,397 --> 00:37:07,964
So I think I got us
pretty well covered.Mm.

died, Major Brad Jenkins

get to make before you.

the most important words
