2
00:01:37,367 --> 00:01:40,662
Deference to the executive
cannot possibly justify
3
00:01:40,745 --> 00:01:45,625
the injuries to Mr. Mahmoud
or the death of his family members.
4
00:01:45,709 --> 00:01:50,421
If you do not say that this is wrong,
that this is unconstitutional,
5
00:01:50,505 --> 00:01:55,301
there is nothing to prevent this sort
of senseless tragedy from happening again.
6
00:01:55,385 --> 00:01:58,804
We ask for nothing more
than reform and oversight.
7
00:01:58,888 --> 00:02:01,057
Your ruling is a crucial first step.
8
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:03,226
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Katyal.
9
00:02:03,309 --> 00:02:04,728
Ms. Dunbar.
10
00:02:10,483 --> 00:02:13,403
Mr. Chief Justice,
and may it please the court,
11
00:02:13,486 --> 00:02:17,281
the security of American citizens
is the reason our drone program
12
00:02:17,365 --> 00:02:19,534
and other covert operations exist.
13
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:22,912
But that security
often comes with a cost.
14
00:02:22,995 --> 00:02:26,499
At this very moment,
the president is at Arlington Cemetery,
15
00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:28,918
laying to rest three Navy SEALs
16
00:02:29,001 --> 00:02:32,797
who perished on a mountainside
in Afghanistan.
17
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,383
They gave their lives to save others.
18
00:02:55,945 --> 00:02:58,531
And God said to Abraham,
"Take your son,
19
00:02:58,615 --> 00:03:02,285
your only son, whom you love,
Isaac, and sacrifice him."
20
00:03:03,536 --> 00:03:05,121
Abraham was willing.
21
00:03:06,539 --> 00:03:11,419
But when he raised his knife
above Isaac on the altar,
22
00:03:11,502 --> 00:03:13,170
God stopped him.
23
00:03:13,254 --> 00:03:17,174
For Abraham had proven
his devotion to God.
24
00:03:17,258 --> 00:03:22,138
Then God, to prove his devotion to us,
25
00:03:22,221 --> 00:03:24,641
made his own sacrifice.
26
00:03:24,724 --> 00:03:30,104
"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only Son."
27
00:03:30,187 --> 00:03:34,442
Devotion. Sacrifice.
28
00:03:34,525 --> 00:03:35,777
Love.
29
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:39,155
This is what the Lord teaches us.
30
00:03:39,238 --> 00:03:43,451
And what these young men
have exemplified.
31
00:03:43,534 --> 00:03:45,620
We shall forever honor them.
32
00:03:47,288 --> 00:03:51,501
And in heaven,
they will have eternal life.
33
00:03:52,794 --> 00:03:54,295
Amen.
34
00:03:54,378 --> 00:03:56,130
Ready, pull.
35
00:04:02,011 --> 00:04:04,930
As you are aware, we have
invoked the State secrets privilege
36
00:04:05,014 --> 00:04:07,016
during our request for dismissal.
37
00:04:07,099 --> 00:04:11,604
But I have authority from the president
to share some of the classified brief
38
00:04:11,688 --> 00:04:14,273
in order to reinforce
the government's argument.
39
00:04:15,692 --> 00:04:17,610
Are you certain you want to do that,
Ms. Dunbar?
40
00:04:17,694 --> 00:04:20,864
I am, Mr. Chief Justice.
And so is the president.
41
00:04:20,946 --> 00:04:24,367
So the government is publicly
admitting responsibility for the strike?
42
00:04:24,450 --> 00:04:25,785
It is, Your Honor.
43
00:04:25,869 --> 00:04:30,164
The terrorist successfully targeted
was Zuri Aziz.
44
00:04:30,247 --> 00:04:32,917
He routinely used civilians
as human shields.
45
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,379
Mr. Mahmoud's family did not know
Aziz was in the same building.
46
00:04:36,462 --> 00:04:40,007
The drone strike is responsible
for their deaths.
47
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:45,346
Mr. Mahmoud has suffered
a terrible injury and loss.
48
00:04:45,429 --> 00:04:49,975
While the government's action is tragic,
it wasn't unlawful.
49
00:04:50,059 --> 00:04:53,813
It was legal, it was necessary,
and it was right.
50
00:04:53,897 --> 00:04:56,273
Heather Dunbar?
She's never run for office.
51
00:04:56,357 --> 00:04:59,276
You don't become Solicitor General
without being politically savvy.
52
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,445
It takes more than savvy
to be elected president.
53
00:05:01,529 --> 00:05:04,699
Don't forget, she has a national profile
after the Walker investigation.
54
00:05:04,782 --> 00:05:06,743
Truth and justice personified.
55
00:05:06,826 --> 00:05:09,036
If the leadership wants
to redefine the party, she's...
56
00:05:09,119 --> 00:05:11,997
No one with this little
experience has ever been a real contender
57
00:05:12,081 --> 00:05:14,250
since Ross Perot,
and at least he had the money.
58
00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:17,754
So does she.
Her family owns Dunbar Armored Cars.
59
00:05:19,714 --> 00:05:23,217
She could finance her entire campaign
if she needed to.
60
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,344
But what prevents the abuse of power?
61
00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:28,681
The executive can't legislate,
can't receive appropriations,
62
00:05:28,765 --> 00:05:30,558
can't sentence people to imprisonment.
63
00:05:30,641 --> 00:05:32,560
All of these depend
on the other branches,
64
00:05:32,643 --> 00:05:34,771
which keeps executive power in check.
65
00:05:34,854 --> 00:05:37,022
But we know for a fact that,
in emergencies,
66
00:05:37,106 --> 00:05:39,525
the executive will contemplate actions
67
00:05:39,609 --> 00:05:42,278
that do not have clear
legislative authority
68
00:05:42,361 --> 00:05:45,949
and might be constitutionally dubious.
69
00:05:46,031 --> 00:05:48,117
Including...
70
00:05:57,334 --> 00:05:59,462
Are you asking about drone strikes,
Your Honor?
71
00:05:59,545 --> 00:06:01,338
Yes. Drone strikes.
72
00:06:01,422 --> 00:06:04,634
The fear of an out-of-control
executive is exaggerated.
73
00:06:04,717 --> 00:06:08,220
The president has strong electoral
and other political incentives
74
00:06:08,304 --> 00:06:09,889
to act in the public interest.
75
00:06:09,973 --> 00:06:13,058
You yourself have investigated
the White House for abuse of power.
76
00:06:13,142 --> 00:06:14,769
It forced a president to resign.
77
00:06:14,852 --> 00:06:18,648
Now you maintain that, uh, we should
give our president a wide berth?
78
00:06:18,731 --> 00:06:22,318
I am not here to defend any one person,
79
00:06:22,401 --> 00:06:25,696
but rather the office
of the presidency itself.
80
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:29,533
We must hold everyone
in government accountable to the law.
81
00:06:29,617 --> 00:06:33,871
But we must not manufacture
our interpretation of the law
82
00:06:33,955 --> 00:06:37,500
to erode constitutional authority.
83
00:06:37,583 --> 00:06:42,630
We can prosecute presidents,
but not the presidency.
84
00:06:42,713 --> 00:06:44,214
We have to assume this is happening.
85
00:06:44,298 --> 00:06:46,175
We need to end her campaign
before it begins.
86
00:06:46,258 --> 00:06:48,344
She's clean.
Walker vetted her for Solicitor General,
87
00:06:48,427 --> 00:06:50,267
then again when he made her
special prosecutor.
88
00:06:50,304 --> 00:06:53,140
That's one of the things
that makes her so attractive.
89
00:06:53,223 --> 00:06:54,976
- Thank you, Jackie.
- Yes, sir.
90
00:06:57,478 --> 00:07:00,731
Well, if we can't knock her out,
we have to figure out another way.
91
00:07:17,456 --> 00:07:20,626
- It's something, isn't it?
- Yes, it is.
92
00:07:22,503 --> 00:07:25,130
Traditionally,
the United States has not supported
93
00:07:25,214 --> 00:07:27,675
military action in the Middle East.
94
00:07:27,758 --> 00:07:30,970
But a neutral UN peacekeeping force
in the Jordan Valley
95
00:07:31,054 --> 00:07:36,266
is an essential first step
to sustainable, long-term peace.
96
00:07:36,350 --> 00:07:38,811
The United States will vote "yes."
97
00:07:38,895 --> 00:07:40,437
Thank you, Mr. President.
98
00:07:40,521 --> 00:07:42,523
I give the floor
to the representative
99
00:07:42,606 --> 00:07:44,400
of the Russian Federation.
100
00:07:45,985 --> 00:07:48,988
Russia is also committed
to stability in the region.
101
00:07:49,072 --> 00:07:52,658
But inserting the UN
into such a complicated situation
102
00:07:52,742 --> 00:07:55,828
could irrevocably damage
the hopes of real peace.
103
00:07:55,912 --> 00:07:59,331
I strongly encourage my colleagues
to not support this resolution.
104
00:07:59,415 --> 00:08:01,333
Thank you, Mr. President.
105
00:08:01,417 --> 00:08:06,005
With no further requests to speak,
I put the draft resolution to a vote.
106
00:08:06,089 --> 00:08:08,007
All those in favor?
107
00:08:10,009 --> 00:08:11,969
Those against?
108
00:08:14,097 --> 00:08:15,639
Those abstaining?
109
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:23,188
The vote is 13 in favor,
one against, one abstention.
110
00:08:23,272 --> 00:08:25,232
The draft resolution does not pass
111
00:08:25,315 --> 00:08:30,320
due to the "no" vote by a permanent member
of the Security Council.
112
00:08:35,242 --> 00:08:38,287
We hoped that
Russia would change their mind
113
00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:40,164
but their veto doesn't surprise me.
114
00:08:40,247 --> 00:08:44,877
So we need your support
to bypass the Security Council.
115
00:08:44,961 --> 00:08:49,048
We don't want to
undermine the veto of permanent members.
116
00:08:49,132 --> 00:08:53,677
We will not establish
a dangerous precedent.
117
00:08:53,761 --> 00:08:58,057
The General Assembly can't override
the veto without a majority.
118
00:08:58,141 --> 00:09:00,392
Do you still have the support of Israel?
119
00:09:00,476 --> 00:09:03,813
I would not call you
if this was not the case.
120
00:09:03,896 --> 00:09:08,734
Then as long as Israel agrees, we agree.
121
00:09:08,818 --> 00:09:11,904
Wonderful. Thank you, Ambassador.
122
00:09:11,988 --> 00:09:17,201
I'll let you know when we decide
to submit it to a vote.
123
00:09:23,332 --> 00:09:25,626
Ileana, France is in.
124
00:09:25,709 --> 00:09:28,671
I need to be certain
Israel will stand firm.
125
00:09:36,095 --> 00:09:38,263
Israel will never maintain
its commitment.
126
00:09:38,347 --> 00:09:42,601
Israel wants what the rest of the world
wants, sustainable security.
127
00:09:42,685 --> 00:09:45,896
Trust me on this, I've dealt with
Jerusalem for many years at the UN.
128
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:48,565
The moment it gets difficult,
they'll turn their back on you.
129
00:09:48,649 --> 00:09:51,401
- And it will get difficult.
- You're right.
130
00:09:51,485 --> 00:09:53,654
I can't predict how they will act
down the road,
131
00:09:53,737 --> 00:09:56,281
but I do know they will vote
for this resolution.
132
00:09:56,365 --> 00:09:57,992
We'll see.
133
00:09:58,075 --> 00:10:00,452
Going around the Security Council
is a radical move.
134
00:10:00,536 --> 00:10:03,080
It's not radical, it's justified.
135
00:10:03,164 --> 00:10:06,291
You dust off some 60-year-old
precedent and think you're justified?
136
00:10:06,375 --> 00:10:08,752
The Uniting for Peace resolution
was used to start a war.
137
00:10:08,836 --> 00:10:10,546
To end North Korea's aggression.
138
00:10:10,629 --> 00:10:12,840
Semantics.
139
00:10:12,923 --> 00:10:16,927
Ninety-three nations on board already,
including Israel, that's not semantics.
140
00:10:17,011 --> 00:10:19,555
Claire, I'm getting a lot of pressure
from the Kremlin.
141
00:10:19,638 --> 00:10:21,807
Petrov doesn't want this
to go to the General Assembly.
142
00:10:21,891 --> 00:10:24,309
Give me a little more time
to work on him.
143
00:10:34,862 --> 00:10:36,947
We've given you a month.
We're moving forward.
144
00:10:45,956 --> 00:10:48,125
- Yes?
- Ms. Dunbar is here.
145
00:10:48,209 --> 00:10:49,793
Send her in.
146
00:10:58,594 --> 00:11:00,804
- Heather.
- Mr. President.
147
00:11:00,888 --> 00:11:04,141
I listened to the audio of your defense
this morning. It was outstanding.
148
00:11:04,225 --> 00:11:06,727
You were right about making
the emotional argument.
149
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:10,022
I think it will help the country heal.
Please, have a seat.
150
00:11:16,904 --> 00:11:20,032
I'm also going to meet later tonight
with Mr. Mahmoud privately.
151
00:11:20,116 --> 00:11:24,078
- To personally apologize.
- That's a compassionate thing to do.
152
00:11:26,622 --> 00:11:29,959
When I listened to your argument,
I also heard something else.
153
00:11:30,042 --> 00:11:34,421
There was a moment when Justice Jacobs
was asking you about drone strikes.
154
00:11:34,504 --> 00:11:36,006
Yeah, I remember.
155
00:11:36,090 --> 00:11:40,761
And he paused...
for quite a long time.
156
00:11:41,929 --> 00:11:44,765
I think...
he just lost his train of thought.
157
00:11:44,848 --> 00:11:46,892
Well...
158
00:11:50,604 --> 00:11:54,733
What I'm about to tell you
has to remain between us.
159
00:11:54,817 --> 00:11:57,111
Of course.
160
00:11:57,194 --> 00:12:00,156
Justice Jacobs has Alzheimer's.
161
00:12:00,239 --> 00:12:03,033
He came to me a few months ago
to tell me.
162
00:12:03,117 --> 00:12:05,995
Now, it's in the early stages,
so you wouldn't even notice
163
00:12:06,078 --> 00:12:08,164
unless you know what to look for.
164
00:12:08,247 --> 00:12:10,124
He wants to remain on the court?
165
00:12:10,207 --> 00:12:12,584
Well, that's what I want to discuss.
166
00:12:12,668 --> 00:12:14,461
He wanted to retire.
167
00:12:14,544 --> 00:12:17,047
I asked him to hold on
just a little while longer,
168
00:12:17,131 --> 00:12:20,759
until I could find a suitable
replacement and now I have.
169
00:12:20,843 --> 00:12:24,263
And I want that replacement...
to be you.
170
00:12:26,932 --> 00:12:28,767
What do you think?
171
00:12:31,061 --> 00:12:35,565
I'm... humbled, sir.
172
00:12:35,649 --> 00:12:39,778
And... honestly surprised
that you'd consider me.
173
00:12:39,862 --> 00:12:42,865
- Why is that?
- Given our history.
174
00:12:42,948 --> 00:12:45,742
When I said that was water
under the bridge, I meant it.
175
00:12:45,826 --> 00:12:47,995
You have the finest legal mind
in this country,
176
00:12:48,078 --> 00:12:50,206
a deep understanding
of the Constitution,
177
00:12:50,289 --> 00:12:52,791
and the Republicans wouldn't dare
block your nomination.
178
00:12:52,875 --> 00:12:55,752
After all, you prosecuted
a Democratic president.
179
00:12:55,836 --> 00:12:58,172
You're too good to be Solicitor General.
180
00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:02,467
Let's make sure you have a job for life.
181
00:13:02,551 --> 00:13:05,804
I appreciate you saying that, sir.
182
00:13:05,888 --> 00:13:08,015
I'm sorry.
183
00:13:08,098 --> 00:13:10,017
This is a lot to process.
184
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,269
It's important we do this
before the election.
185
00:13:12,353 --> 00:13:14,397
We could end up
with a Republican president.
186
00:13:14,479 --> 00:13:17,149
And I don't want
to suggest your name to Jacobs
187
00:13:17,233 --> 00:13:19,235
unless you truly want the position.
188
00:13:19,318 --> 00:13:23,155
So... I need to know now.
189
00:13:25,991 --> 00:13:28,869
Yes. It would be a great honor.
190
00:13:28,952 --> 00:13:31,163
Good. Congratulations.
191
00:13:31,247 --> 00:13:33,332
You speak to your family.
I'll speak to Jacobs.
192
00:13:33,416 --> 00:13:35,251
Thank you, Mr. President.
193
00:14:15,499 --> 00:14:18,252
- Did you see this?
- Hm? See what?
194
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:20,754
I just got an alert.
195
00:14:20,837 --> 00:14:23,507
I don't know.
I haven't, uh... seen Jim in a while.
196
00:14:26,176 --> 00:14:27,719
That's weird.
197
00:14:36,103 --> 00:14:38,814
I want to offer you my sincerest regret.
198
00:14:38,897 --> 00:14:42,151
And I hope that you
will accept my apology.
199
00:14:42,234 --> 00:14:44,069
I'm sorry, but I can't.
200
00:14:44,153 --> 00:14:46,822
I know it should have come sooner.
201
00:14:46,905 --> 00:14:48,865
There needs to be more oversight.
202
00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:50,510
Well, there is congressional oversight.
203
00:14:50,575 --> 00:14:53,578
We have a rigorous system
to prevent collateral damage.
204
00:14:53,662 --> 00:14:56,123
Civilians are listed as "other militants."
205
00:14:56,206 --> 00:14:59,584
But the government offers
no evidence that's true.
206
00:14:59,668 --> 00:15:02,379
It definitely wasn't in my case.
207
00:15:02,463 --> 00:15:05,132
How rigorous can your process be?
208
00:15:05,215 --> 00:15:09,928
The numbers of non-combatants
who are being killed by drone strikes
209
00:15:10,012 --> 00:15:12,973
- is lower than it's ever been.
- Those numbers are false.
210
00:15:13,056 --> 00:15:16,477
One civilian killed in 2010?
That has to be wrong.
211
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,105
Look, I don't think the Pentagon
is being honest about...
212
00:15:22,649 --> 00:15:26,320
Are you okay?
213
00:15:27,737 --> 00:15:31,492
- I'll get the doctor up here.
- Don't do that. It'll pass.
214
00:15:33,035 --> 00:15:34,744
Phantom pain.
215
00:15:43,379 --> 00:15:46,131
You know what I dreamed of
when I came here?
216
00:15:46,215 --> 00:15:48,717
Choking you with my bare hands.
217
00:16:00,563 --> 00:16:03,399
Mr. Mahmoud, you may hate me.
218
00:16:03,482 --> 00:16:06,151
You may hate the office I hold.
219
00:16:06,235 --> 00:16:08,695
But here's the reality:
220
00:16:08,778 --> 00:16:13,783
I must make decisions every day
that I hope are just.
221
00:16:13,867 --> 00:16:17,079
I don't know right
from wrong all the time.
222
00:16:17,162 --> 00:16:18,955
I wish I did.
223
00:16:20,207 --> 00:16:23,168
But what I can't be is indecisive.
224
00:16:23,252 --> 00:16:28,215
It says in the Qur'an:
"The taking of one innocent life
225
00:16:28,298 --> 00:16:30,926
is like the taking of all mankind."
226
00:16:31,009 --> 00:16:36,473
It also says that
"the saving of one life
227
00:16:36,557 --> 00:16:39,351
is like the saving of all mankind."
228
00:16:42,938 --> 00:16:45,441
You didn't ask me here to apologize.
229
00:16:45,524 --> 00:16:48,068
You asked me here to forgive you.
230
00:16:50,362 --> 00:16:51,988
I didn't order the strike that...
231
00:16:53,115 --> 00:16:55,951
I won't forgive you, Mr. President.
232
00:16:56,034 --> 00:16:59,037
I don't want to make it any easier
for you to sleep at night.
233
00:16:59,121 --> 00:17:02,499
And knowing a few lines of the Qur'an
does not absolve you.
234
00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:10,757
I have a duty to this nation,
Mr. Mahmoud.
235
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,050
I swore an oath.
236
00:17:12,134 --> 00:17:16,054
There's a fine line
between duty and murder.
237
00:17:18,056 --> 00:17:21,268
Only you have the power
to stop what happened to me.
238
00:17:21,351 --> 00:17:26,649
The next time you wield it...
I hope you'll think twice.
239
00:17:26,731 --> 00:17:29,693
Yes, of course. Meechum!
240
00:17:31,194 --> 00:17:33,530
- Yes, sir?
- You show Mr. Mahmoud out.
241
00:17:38,827 --> 00:17:41,538
Two months of random sampling
across the country.
242
00:17:41,622 --> 00:17:44,374
Less than a tenth of a percent
of all incoming data.
243
00:17:44,458 --> 00:17:45,459
Why so little?
244
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:47,343
You have any idea
how many cameras we monitor?
245
00:17:47,419 --> 00:17:49,630
The CPU core quota
of every mainframe in Washington
246
00:17:49,713 --> 00:17:51,214
couldn't handle all that data.
247
00:17:51,298 --> 00:17:53,717
I tried doubling the sample range
and it set off alarms.
248
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,052
I came this fucking close
to getting caught.
249
00:17:56,136 --> 00:17:58,847
Okay, we just need
to narrow the search, man.
250
00:17:58,930 --> 00:18:02,267
- It's too much ground to cover.
- How?
251
00:18:02,351 --> 00:18:06,021
I need more information on Rachel.
252
00:18:06,104 --> 00:18:08,398
Favorite books, fuckin' movies.
253
00:18:08,482 --> 00:18:10,775
- Anything.
- I don't know.
254
00:18:10,859 --> 00:18:12,739
Come on.
Did she ever talk about going anywhere?
255
00:18:12,819 --> 00:18:16,114
- Traveling to some place?
- No. Traveling wasn't an option.
256
00:18:17,115 --> 00:18:18,575
I need more, man.
257
00:18:20,827 --> 00:18:23,830
- What about the other girl? Lisa.
- I'm reading her e-mails.
258
00:18:23,913 --> 00:18:26,291
I'm tracking her phone.
There's nothing there.
259
00:18:28,084 --> 00:18:30,170
We should get close to her, though.
We should talk to her.
260
00:18:30,253 --> 00:18:32,172
- Extract something.
- She might recognize me.
261
00:18:32,255 --> 00:18:35,634
- I'll do it.
- That makes me nervous.
262
00:18:35,718 --> 00:18:37,678
It's social engineering.
I'll just hack her that way.
263
00:18:37,761 --> 00:18:39,513
She won't suspect a thing.
264
00:18:41,557 --> 00:18:45,227
If we don't try something new,
we're not gonna find Rachel.
265
00:18:50,232 --> 00:18:51,983
Help yourself
to some boiled peanuts.
266
00:18:52,067 --> 00:18:54,152
No, thank you. Too much salt.
267
00:18:54,236 --> 00:18:56,739
First week I was here,
I asked one of the stewards
268
00:18:56,821 --> 00:18:58,323
if I could have some boiled peanuts.
269
00:18:58,407 --> 00:19:00,992
I used to eat them all the time
as a kid, and I'll be damned
270
00:19:01,076 --> 00:19:03,953
if there hasn't been a full bowl
of peanuts here every day since.
271
00:19:04,037 --> 00:19:06,831
They must have a pot boiling
'round the clock.
272
00:19:06,915 --> 00:19:09,084
Ruth has me eating kale crisps now.
273
00:19:09,167 --> 00:19:12,170
Says they're good for me.
I can't stand the things.
274
00:19:12,254 --> 00:19:13,714
I have them shucked in the kitchen,
275
00:19:13,797 --> 00:19:17,842
so you don't even have to get your
fingers dirty. Feel free. Live a little.
276
00:19:22,097 --> 00:19:26,769
Mr. Justice, since we last spoke,
I've done a lot of soul searching.
277
00:19:26,851 --> 00:19:30,021
It was unfair of me
to ask you to stay on the bench.
278
00:19:30,105 --> 00:19:33,734
If you want to retire, you should.
279
00:19:33,817 --> 00:19:36,486
I appreciate your consideration,
Mr. President.
280
00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:40,240
Well, I thought the first thing I should
do is to find a suitable successor.
281
00:19:40,323 --> 00:19:43,368
Someone you would approve of
to put your mind at ease,
282
00:19:43,452 --> 00:19:45,704
- and I think I've found one.
- Who?
283
00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:50,667
- Heather Dunbar.
- I think she'd be an excellent justice.
284
00:19:50,751 --> 00:19:52,252
I'm glad you agree.
285
00:19:52,335 --> 00:19:56,298
Just an unlikely choice,
given how vociferous she...
286
00:19:56,381 --> 00:19:57,882
With the Walker investigation, yes.
287
00:19:57,966 --> 00:20:00,093
But that only increases
my estimation of her.
288
00:20:00,176 --> 00:20:02,220
She has a great sense of duty.
289
00:20:02,304 --> 00:20:05,599
More than any Solicitor General
I've ever worked with.
290
00:20:05,682 --> 00:20:09,561
I wish I'd known the reason
you invited me beforehand.
291
00:20:09,645 --> 00:20:12,439
- I could have saved you the trouble.
- Why?
292
00:20:12,522 --> 00:20:14,733
After I talked to you
a couple of months ago,
293
00:20:14,817 --> 00:20:17,152
Ruth said you'd given me a gift.
294
00:20:17,235 --> 00:20:20,155
That I would be miserable
if I weren't on the bench.
295
00:20:20,238 --> 00:20:23,908
She talked to my sons
and they all agreed.
296
00:20:23,992 --> 00:20:25,869
As long as I'm well enough
to serve the court,
297
00:20:25,952 --> 00:20:30,165
that's where I want to be.
And we'll keep an eye on 2016.
298
00:20:30,248 --> 00:20:34,878
If it looks as though the Republicans
will win, I'll step down.
299
00:20:34,961 --> 00:20:38,173
If not, I'll stay.
But, there's no rush.
300
00:20:43,637 --> 00:20:45,597
Must I destroy this man?
301
00:20:45,681 --> 00:20:47,516
Mr. President?
302
00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:55,398
No. I won't.
303
00:20:55,482 --> 00:20:57,567
Excuse me?
304
00:20:59,695 --> 00:21:05,492
I won't stand by
and watch you make this mistake.
305
00:21:07,494 --> 00:21:09,496
I've thought this through.
306
00:21:10,873 --> 00:21:14,877
We're not friends, Robert.
We don't know each other that well.
307
00:21:14,959 --> 00:21:17,045
But I care about you.
308
00:21:17,128 --> 00:21:20,131
Because you served
for more than 20 years on the bench.
309
00:21:20,215 --> 00:21:23,593
You've established legal precedents
that will outlive both of us.
310
00:21:23,677 --> 00:21:27,430
And... maybe you can explain away
yesterday as a senior moment.
311
00:21:27,514 --> 00:21:30,809
But what if another moment happens
that you can't explain away?
312
00:21:30,893 --> 00:21:34,020
What if somehow the news
of your illness leaks?
313
00:21:34,103 --> 00:21:37,482
Then every decision you've written
will be called into question.
314
00:21:37,566 --> 00:21:39,025
They'll be challenged.
315
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:42,404
And a life's work will be undone
in a heartbeat.
316
00:21:42,487 --> 00:21:45,281
Do you have some ulterior motive here?
317
00:21:45,365 --> 00:21:47,617
Only your best interests.
318
00:21:47,701 --> 00:21:49,327
But why the urgency?
319
00:21:52,497 --> 00:21:55,375
I want to protect you.
320
00:21:55,458 --> 00:21:59,504
Justice, I'm asking you,
I'm pleading with you.
321
00:21:59,588 --> 00:22:04,259
Don't let events get out of your control.
322
00:22:04,342 --> 00:22:06,010
Will you reconsider?
323
00:22:08,137 --> 00:22:11,391
I appreciate your concern, Mr. President.
324
00:22:11,474 --> 00:22:14,644
Let me speak again to Ruth
and I'll get back to you.
325
00:22:15,687 --> 00:22:17,397
Thank you, Justice.
326
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,816
- It's a moratorium.
- We're not calling it that.
327
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:21,860
Call it whatever you want,
nobody's talking.
328
00:22:21,944 --> 00:22:23,904
We're trying to prevent misinformation.
329
00:22:23,987 --> 00:22:25,697
I'm supposed to write about AmWorks.
330
00:22:25,781 --> 00:22:28,784
How can I do that when no one from
the executive branch will speak to me?
331
00:22:28,867 --> 00:22:30,869
This thing's shifting
under our feet in Congress.
332
00:22:30,953 --> 00:22:33,455
By the time I finish the morning brief,
it's already outdated.
333
00:22:33,538 --> 00:22:36,249
I'm not asking for a one-on-one
with the president, but...
334
00:22:36,332 --> 00:22:39,335
the Secretary of Labor, Treasury,
one of his economic advisors.
335
00:22:39,419 --> 00:22:41,588
Give you special treatment?
336
00:22:41,671 --> 00:22:44,382
I think you issued the moratorium
because you're losing the battle.
337
00:22:44,466 --> 00:22:46,092
It's 500 billion dollars.
338
00:22:46,175 --> 00:22:48,386
This is the largest jobs program
since the New Deal.
339
00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:51,222
Of course it's a slugfest.
That doesn't mean we're losing.
340
00:22:51,306 --> 00:22:53,642
Then let me speak to someone
who can confirm that.
341
00:22:53,725 --> 00:22:56,185
Because all I'm hearing
from the Republicans is that
342
00:22:56,269 --> 00:22:57,854
AmWorks will never
see the light of day.
343
00:22:57,938 --> 00:23:00,774
I sympathize with you, Ayla.
I wish I could give you what you want.
344
00:23:02,734 --> 00:23:05,445
- The president needs us.
- So we'll talk later.
345
00:23:07,030 --> 00:23:09,699
Michael Corrigan,
the activist who organized the protest
346
00:23:09,783 --> 00:23:11,242
at the state dinner last month,
347
00:23:11,326 --> 00:23:13,829
arrested by Russian police
three hours ago in Moscow.
348
00:23:13,912 --> 00:23:15,497
The video is going viral.
349
00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:20,794
He's a high profile gay rights activist,
nationally and abroad.
350
00:23:20,877 --> 00:23:24,213
And he's been very vocal in Russia
over the last six weeks.
351
00:23:24,297 --> 00:23:26,257
Here's the bureau file on him, sir.
352
00:23:26,341 --> 00:23:27,926
Have we been in touch with the Kremlin?
353
00:23:28,010 --> 00:23:30,345
Secretary Durant
is in Tangier right now.
354
00:23:30,428 --> 00:23:33,306
I briefed her by phone
and she reached out to Bugayev.
355
00:23:33,389 --> 00:23:35,224
But they have not connected yet.
356
00:23:35,308 --> 00:23:38,770
Ambassador Grimes is making calls
in Moscow, but nobody's engaging,
357
00:23:38,854 --> 00:23:41,439
other than to say they plan
on fully prosecuting him.
358
00:23:41,523 --> 00:23:44,150
Ambassador, do you think
this could be in retaliation
359
00:23:44,233 --> 00:23:45,652
for what you're doing at the UN?
360
00:23:45,735 --> 00:23:47,153
It could be.
361
00:23:47,236 --> 00:23:50,114
The Russians are very upset
about this resolution.
362
00:23:50,198 --> 00:23:51,878
I'll see what I can find out
from Moryakov.
363
00:23:51,950 --> 00:23:54,661
Let's hold off on the press conference
until tomorrow.
364
00:23:54,744 --> 00:23:57,205
I'd like to deliver some good news
instead of no news.
365
00:23:57,288 --> 00:24:00,583
In the meantime, put out a statement
that we're in communication with Moscow.
366
00:24:00,667 --> 00:24:02,794
And that we're doing
everything we can to get Mr. Corrigan
367
00:24:02,878 --> 00:24:04,671
back to the United States.
Thank you all.
368
00:24:06,381 --> 00:24:09,801
Personally, I hate the law.
It's medieval homophobic nonsense.
369
00:24:09,885 --> 00:24:12,178
- But it's the law.
- I don't think it's coincidence
370
00:24:12,261 --> 00:24:14,347
that Corrigan was arrested
after our conversation.
371
00:24:14,430 --> 00:24:16,431
Well, I wouldn't think
it was a coincidence either.
372
00:24:16,432 --> 00:24:18,226
So what do you hope to achieve?
373
00:24:18,309 --> 00:24:20,520
The same thing as you do:
Mr. Corrigan's release.
374
00:24:20,603 --> 00:24:21,980
If I withdraw the resolution.
375
00:24:22,064 --> 00:24:24,858
I think Moscow would certainly see it
as a sign of goodwill.
376
00:24:24,941 --> 00:24:28,653
Well, we don't barter goodwill
for the freedom of American citizens.
377
00:24:28,737 --> 00:24:31,823
I actually advocated
for his immediate deportation.
378
00:24:31,907 --> 00:24:34,027
I agree that tossing him
in jail is counterproductive,
379
00:24:34,076 --> 00:24:35,952
but my superiors are adamant.
380
00:24:36,036 --> 00:24:38,830
Save Petrov from himself.
381
00:24:38,914 --> 00:24:42,876
It's not my place to question him.
Unlike you, I'm not married to my boss.
382
00:24:46,046 --> 00:24:49,424
I'll relay the Kremlin's position
to the president.
383
00:24:52,802 --> 00:24:55,263
If we give in,
the Jordan Valley plan is over
384
00:24:55,346 --> 00:24:58,058
and we show the Russians
we can be blackmailed.
385
00:24:58,141 --> 00:25:00,226
So we're just supposed
to let Corrigan rot away?
386
00:25:00,309 --> 00:25:03,855
I think if we continue to drive hard
at the UN, we'll gain leverage.
387
00:25:03,939 --> 00:25:05,982
- What does Cathy think?
- She agrees.
388
00:25:06,066 --> 00:25:08,985
I'm gonna take flak every day
that Corrigan remains in jail.
389
00:25:09,069 --> 00:25:10,820
And you'll take more if you back down.
390
00:25:10,904 --> 00:25:12,697
But it does mean I have
to get in front of the press
391
00:25:12,781 --> 00:25:14,699
with absolutely nothing
of substance to say.
392
00:25:14,783 --> 00:25:16,993
You spent 20 years in Congress.
You're good at that.
393
00:25:19,829 --> 00:25:21,456
It's good to hear you laugh.
394
00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:24,584
Get some sleep.
I'll call you tomorrow.
395
00:25:24,667 --> 00:25:26,044
Good night.
396
00:25:28,922 --> 00:25:31,716
Who specifically is communicating
between Washington and Moscow?
397
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,260
All of our communication
is between the State Department
398
00:25:34,343 --> 00:25:35,904
and the Russian Foreign Ministry. Ayla.
399
00:25:35,971 --> 00:25:39,348
In your statement, you persisted
in calling this a free speech issue,
400
00:25:39,432 --> 00:25:41,309
but isn't gay rights really
at the center of this?
401
00:25:41,392 --> 00:25:44,062
Well, Mr. Corrigan was arrested
for speaking his mind.
402
00:25:44,146 --> 00:25:46,856
- No matter what his opinions...
- Aren't you skirting that,
403
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:50,110
Mr. President, because your stance
on gay rights is unclear?
404
00:25:51,820 --> 00:25:54,948
What is clear is that Mr. Corrigan's
detainment is unjust
405
00:25:55,031 --> 00:25:56,866
and, as I said, we're doing
everything we can
406
00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:58,870
to make sure that he can come home.
Yes, Zachary.
407
00:25:58,952 --> 00:26:01,704
Following up. Isn't dodging
gay rights a calculated move
408
00:26:01,788 --> 00:26:04,499
for a man not running for office?
409
00:26:04,582 --> 00:26:06,626
You think I'm dodging?
410
00:26:06,709 --> 00:26:09,087
Well, then let me be
as clear as I possibly can be.
411
00:26:09,171 --> 00:26:11,131
Gay people have rights.
412
00:26:11,214 --> 00:26:13,883
And this administration has
always believed that Mr. Corrigan
413
00:26:13,967 --> 00:26:17,929
has the right to speak his mind without
fear of being arrested on any issue,
414
00:26:18,013 --> 00:26:19,889
whether it's gay rights
or something else.
415
00:26:19,973 --> 00:26:24,102
And what is also quite clear is that
you must have failed etiquette class.
416
00:26:24,186 --> 00:26:28,272
Why won't you speak to John Pasternak,
Michael Corrigan's husband?
417
00:26:28,356 --> 00:26:30,608
Mr. Pasternak has been trying
to contact the White House
418
00:26:30,692 --> 00:26:33,111
- and no one will speak with him.
- I do apologize, I have a meeting.
419
00:26:33,195 --> 00:26:35,822
I wish I could've gotten to all your
questions. Any further inquiries,
420
00:26:35,905 --> 00:26:38,658
please direct them to Mr. Grayson.
Thank you very much.
421
00:26:38,741 --> 00:26:40,160
I apologize, sir.
422
00:26:43,371 --> 00:26:45,165
- You went too far.
- I did my job.
423
00:26:45,248 --> 00:26:48,001
There's protocol.
There's basic decorum.
424
00:26:48,084 --> 00:26:50,628
How about this: you lift
the moratorium for me on AmWorks,
425
00:26:50,712 --> 00:26:53,589
I disappear for five weeks.
Focus on my long-lead piece.
426
00:26:53,673 --> 00:26:55,274
I don't touch Corrigan or anything else.
427
00:26:55,299 --> 00:26:56,759
You wanted me to chew you out.
428
00:26:56,843 --> 00:26:58,761
If that's what it takes
to get us talking.
429
00:26:58,845 --> 00:27:01,181
Which is why I need your credential.
430
00:27:02,182 --> 00:27:04,059
- What?
- Your credential.
431
00:27:05,227 --> 00:27:08,230
- You're kidding.
- Do you see me laughing?
432
00:27:08,312 --> 00:27:11,440
You don't control my credential.
The Correspondents' Association does.
433
00:27:11,524 --> 00:27:14,194
And I just spoke to Joel Weinmann.
434
00:27:14,277 --> 00:27:17,488
- He wouldn't.
- You succeeded, Ayla.
435
00:27:17,572 --> 00:27:20,992
I'm lifting the moratorium for every
other member of the press corps.
436
00:27:21,076 --> 00:27:23,369
The price was your credential.
437
00:27:24,579 --> 00:27:28,332
- He has no grounds.
- You disrespected the president,
438
00:27:28,416 --> 00:27:31,878
the office, and most importantly,
your fellow colleagues.
439
00:27:31,961 --> 00:27:34,422
- It wasn't a tough sell.
- Then this becomes my next story.
440
00:27:34,505 --> 00:27:37,341
Punishing a member of the press.
Collusion. Pay for play.
441
00:27:37,425 --> 00:27:39,052
And I'll deny.
442
00:27:39,135 --> 00:27:42,430
And do you think the head of the
association is gonna admit anything?
443
00:27:42,513 --> 00:27:46,184
You don't have any friends, Ayla,
on either side of the fence.
444
00:27:46,268 --> 00:27:48,394
The president just made a statement
about free speech.
445
00:27:48,477 --> 00:27:51,022
Now you're gonna start kicking
reporters out of the White House?
446
00:27:51,106 --> 00:27:54,442
- No. Just you.
- No, not just me!
447
00:27:54,525 --> 00:27:56,861
You're fucking with
the second largest daily in America.
448
00:27:56,945 --> 00:28:00,156
You can get rid of me, but you can't
get rid of the institution I work for.
449
00:28:01,741 --> 00:28:04,119
You done?
450
00:28:04,202 --> 00:28:07,163
Don't let your 15 minutes
of power go to your head, Seth.
451
00:28:08,831 --> 00:28:12,961
You can keep the plastic if you want...
as a souvenir.
452
00:28:13,044 --> 00:28:15,297
That's all it's good for, now.
453
00:28:24,806 --> 00:28:26,682
Hello?
454
00:28:26,766 --> 00:28:28,017
Yeah.
455
00:28:31,896 --> 00:28:33,439
Are you serious?
456
00:28:37,610 --> 00:28:39,612
Okay.
457
00:28:39,695 --> 00:28:40,822
Fuck.
458
00:28:44,492 --> 00:28:46,161
I need to speak to the president.
459
00:28:47,787 --> 00:28:52,500
Through our laws,
we seek to create a more perfect union.
460
00:28:52,583 --> 00:28:55,003
Government officials who abuse the law,
461
00:28:55,086 --> 00:29:00,424
or, at the very least, exploit the edges
of it for their own personal gain,
462
00:29:00,508 --> 00:29:05,221
tarnish our democracy and weaken
the bonds of our great nation.
463
00:29:05,305 --> 00:29:08,308
The Democratic Party
must step out of the shadow
464
00:29:08,391 --> 00:29:10,601
of scandal and redefine itself.
465
00:29:10,685 --> 00:29:12,979
I want her here
when she's done with this stunt.
466
00:29:13,062 --> 00:29:17,900
Embracing a new era of transparency,
honesty and justice,
467
00:29:17,984 --> 00:29:21,988
this country deserves a president
who has dedicated herself
468
00:29:22,071 --> 00:29:24,282
to those ideals in this court
469
00:29:24,366 --> 00:29:29,162
and many others, who has spent
her entire life defending the law,
470
00:29:29,245 --> 00:29:33,291
and who now wants to dedicate herself
to enforcing it.
471
00:29:33,375 --> 00:29:36,878
Let's restore integrity
to the Oval Office.
472
00:29:36,961 --> 00:29:41,632
Use its power to root out corruption
and lead by example.
473
00:29:41,716 --> 00:29:45,511
Today, before my family and friends,
474
00:29:45,594 --> 00:29:48,890
my God, and the highest court
in our land,
475
00:29:48,973 --> 00:29:54,729
I announce my candidacy for President
of the United States of America.
476
00:29:54,812 --> 00:29:58,316
There was no indication
Ms. Dunbar had plans to run for president.
477
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,153
This will make her the second Solicitor
General in history to run for president,
478
00:30:02,237 --> 00:30:05,240
the only other being
William Howard Taft in 1908.
479
00:30:05,323 --> 00:30:07,409
With President Underwood
declaring he will not...
480
00:30:09,618 --> 00:30:11,746
- Mr. President.
- Ms. Dunbar.
481
00:30:13,122 --> 00:30:14,999
Please, take a seat.
482
00:30:16,376 --> 00:30:18,669
- My letter of resignation.
- I can't accept that.
483
00:30:18,753 --> 00:30:20,255
You're too valuable to us.
484
00:30:20,338 --> 00:30:22,548
I can't run for office
as Solicitor General.
485
00:30:22,631 --> 00:30:24,432
Then you should reconsider
running for office.
486
00:30:24,467 --> 00:30:26,052
It's too late for that, I think.
487
00:30:26,135 --> 00:30:27,303
I don't understand, Heather.
488
00:30:27,387 --> 00:30:30,306
I offered you a seat
on the Supreme Court.
489
00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:32,392
If Jacobs was stepping down,
which he isn't.
490
00:30:33,684 --> 00:30:34,894
You spoke to him.
491
00:30:34,977 --> 00:30:37,605
As Solicitor General,
I'm friendly with all the justices.
492
00:30:37,688 --> 00:30:41,817
I keep those relationships private
so no one will suspect any bias toward me.
493
00:30:41,901 --> 00:30:44,528
But Robert and I are very close.
494
00:30:44,612 --> 00:30:47,282
He and Ruth have me over
for dinner once a month.
495
00:30:47,365 --> 00:30:49,492
So you already knew
about the Alzheimer's?
496
00:30:49,575 --> 00:30:51,160
He told me the day he was diagnosed.
497
00:30:51,244 --> 00:30:54,038
I've never had anything
but his best interests at heart.
498
00:30:54,122 --> 00:30:56,458
You don't care about Robert.
499
00:30:56,540 --> 00:30:58,460
You wanted to sideline me.
500
00:30:58,542 --> 00:31:03,256
So you actually think
you have a shot at this office?
501
00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:06,092
Yes, I do.
And so does the leadership.
502
00:31:06,175 --> 00:31:08,219
You're in over your head, Heather,
503
00:31:08,303 --> 00:31:10,513
no matter what Birch
and Womack are telling you.
504
00:31:10,596 --> 00:31:13,349
Why should it concern you,
Mr. President?
505
00:31:13,433 --> 00:31:15,310
You've announced
that you're not running.
506
00:31:15,393 --> 00:31:19,397
- Is this personal for you?
- Don't flatter yourself.
507
00:31:19,481 --> 00:31:21,649
You got Walker, but you couldn't get me.
508
00:31:21,732 --> 00:31:24,692
I don't have to run to make sure you
leave office. You couldn't win anyway.
509
00:31:24,693 --> 00:31:27,363
I'm running because I know
I'd make a good president.
510
00:31:27,447 --> 00:31:30,241
You might very well
make a good president.
511
00:31:30,325 --> 00:31:32,618
But right now, you're being delusional.
512
00:31:32,701 --> 00:31:35,830
When Birch approached me, I wasn't sure.
513
00:31:35,913 --> 00:31:38,749
I was tempted,
but I knew it was a long shot.
514
00:31:38,833 --> 00:31:41,669
And when you offered the nomination,
I was overwhelmed.
515
00:31:41,752 --> 00:31:43,796
It's what I'd been working toward
my entire career.
516
00:31:43,879 --> 00:31:45,548
But then I spoke to Robert.
517
00:31:45,631 --> 00:31:49,093
And when he told me how you
threatened him, I knew I had to run.
518
00:31:49,177 --> 00:31:52,180
Someone needs to scrub the stink
from this office.
519
00:31:52,263 --> 00:31:54,849
- I didn't threaten him.
- What would you call it?
520
00:31:54,932 --> 00:31:56,267
I was trying to save him,
521
00:31:56,351 --> 00:31:58,394
in the same way I'm trying
to save you now.
522
00:31:58,478 --> 00:32:01,605
Once the news of his Alzheimer's
gets out, which it will,
523
00:32:01,689 --> 00:32:04,567
because no matter how much we all
try to lie about it, it's gonna leak,
524
00:32:04,650 --> 00:32:08,112
can you imagine what
that's going to do to his reputation?
525
00:32:08,196 --> 00:32:09,447
He deserves better than that.
526
00:32:09,531 --> 00:32:11,907
And you deserve better
than being an also-ran.
527
00:32:11,991 --> 00:32:14,369
Help me convince him.
528
00:32:14,452 --> 00:32:18,164
Take the seat on the court
where you belong.
529
00:32:18,247 --> 00:32:21,501
Is this how you live with yourself?
530
00:32:21,584 --> 00:32:25,421
By rationalizing the obscene
into the palatable?
531
00:32:30,301 --> 00:32:32,094
I haven't excused you yet.
532
00:32:32,178 --> 00:32:33,596
See you in Iowa.
533
00:32:57,870 --> 00:33:02,833
I wouldn't have made it through
the past eight months without my faith.
534
00:33:04,085 --> 00:33:07,088
But I wouldn't have made it
without this community, either.
535
00:33:08,339 --> 00:33:11,008
And on tough days...
536
00:33:11,092 --> 00:33:13,428
I remind myself of that.
537
00:33:13,511 --> 00:33:16,264
That I'm not alone.
538
00:33:16,347 --> 00:33:19,683
That I have all of you.
539
00:33:19,767 --> 00:33:23,896
And I think it's important
to acknowledge that.
540
00:33:23,979 --> 00:33:26,190
To give thanks.
541
00:33:26,274 --> 00:33:28,401
So thank you.
542
00:33:28,484 --> 00:33:30,278
All of you.
543
00:33:30,361 --> 00:33:34,365
For always being there.
For always being here.
544
00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:41,914
I have to go.
I'll see you soon.
545
00:33:47,253 --> 00:33:50,005
Hey.
I just wanted to say, what you said...
546
00:33:50,089 --> 00:33:51,840
it really connected with me.
547
00:33:51,924 --> 00:33:53,301
- About community.
- Thank you.
548
00:33:53,384 --> 00:33:54,594
- Yeah.
- I'm glad.
549
00:33:54,677 --> 00:33:57,138
- I'm Lisa. Hi.
- Of course. Max. Hi.
550
00:33:57,221 --> 00:33:59,307
- You're new.
- It was my first time, actually.
551
00:33:59,390 --> 00:34:02,893
- Do you live around here?
- Towson. Just drove up.
552
00:34:02,977 --> 00:34:04,604
How did you find out about us?
553
00:34:04,687 --> 00:34:08,857
Online. Website.
554
00:34:08,941 --> 00:34:13,571
Yeah, I was surfing around, and I was...
I was looking for something and...
555
00:34:13,655 --> 00:34:15,615
- It's stupid.
- No. No, no.
556
00:34:15,698 --> 00:34:18,784
- Tell me.
- Um...
557
00:34:19,577 --> 00:34:22,622
Okay, well, a few months ago, this girl...
558
00:34:22,705 --> 00:34:24,790
Um...
559
00:34:24,873 --> 00:34:28,294
The love of my life, actually...
560
00:34:28,377 --> 00:34:31,130
- Breakup?
- She just left me.
561
00:34:32,256 --> 00:34:33,508
Out of the blue.
562
00:34:33,591 --> 00:34:38,887
You know, one day she just said
it was over and that was it.
563
00:34:38,971 --> 00:34:42,808
Yeah. That's hard.
564
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:47,271
I went through something similar
not that long ago.
565
00:34:47,355 --> 00:34:48,856
Oh, really?
566
00:34:48,939 --> 00:34:53,110
Sort of what I was talking about tonight
with the hard time I had been through.
567
00:34:53,194 --> 00:34:55,112
What happened?
568
00:34:56,238 --> 00:34:57,406
Oh...
569
00:34:57,490 --> 00:34:59,492
Ancient history.
570
00:34:59,575 --> 00:35:01,076
A guy left you?
571
00:35:02,370 --> 00:35:05,998
- It was a woman.
- Oh.
572
00:35:08,668 --> 00:35:12,588
I guess I'm not completely over it,
but time heals, you know?
573
00:35:12,672 --> 00:35:14,089
Mm-hmm.
574
00:35:14,173 --> 00:35:16,842
I gotta get home,
but it was nice to meet you, Max.
575
00:35:16,925 --> 00:35:18,844
Nice meeting you, Lisa.
576
00:35:27,478 --> 00:35:29,355
Can we reschedule?
Let me see.
577
00:35:29,438 --> 00:35:32,775
Yeah, yeah.
Can you move that up by a half an hour?
578
00:35:34,818 --> 00:35:37,572
- Hello?
- Is this a good time, Ms. Dunbar?
579
00:35:37,655 --> 00:35:40,074
- Who is this?
- Doug Stamper.
580
00:35:41,992 --> 00:35:44,078
How did you get this number?
581
00:35:44,161 --> 00:35:46,372
Phone numbers are easy.
What you should be asking
582
00:35:46,455 --> 00:35:49,250
is how I knew you were meeting
with Senator Giallo tonight.
583
00:35:50,585 --> 00:35:52,336
Look down the hallway.
584
00:35:55,673 --> 00:35:57,883
- Go ahead. I'll meet you down there.
- All right.
585
00:36:00,678 --> 00:36:04,390
No. Stay where you are.
We wouldn't want to be seen together.
586
00:36:06,141 --> 00:36:08,770
Did the president send you?
587
00:36:08,852 --> 00:36:12,273
No. He and I aren't in touch.
588
00:36:12,356 --> 00:36:14,149
Then why are you here?
589
00:36:14,233 --> 00:36:17,152
You're forming your team.
I want to be a part of it.
590
00:36:17,236 --> 00:36:19,822
- The real reason.
- That is the reason.
591
00:36:19,905 --> 00:36:23,075
He sent you. Don't lie to me.
592
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:28,497
I've been out of the game
for nine months, Ms. Dunbar.
593
00:36:28,581 --> 00:36:30,124
I want to get back in.
594
00:36:30,207 --> 00:36:31,709
You're forming your team,
595
00:36:31,793 --> 00:36:33,586
and I want to get in
on the ground floor.
596
00:36:35,463 --> 00:36:38,006
The leadership isn't enough.
597
00:36:40,259 --> 00:36:42,094
You need the rank and file.
598
00:36:42,177 --> 00:36:45,013
Their connections to county
and municipal power brokers.
599
00:36:45,097 --> 00:36:47,266
The chiefs of a thousand kingdoms
600
00:36:47,349 --> 00:36:49,893
in every primary
from Iowa to Super Tuesday.
601
00:36:49,977 --> 00:36:52,772
I worked in the whip's office
for ten years.
602
00:36:52,855 --> 00:36:55,983
I have files on every single member.
603
00:36:56,066 --> 00:36:59,403
What they want, who they sleep with,
what they eat for lunch.
604
00:36:59,487 --> 00:37:01,947
I can be valuable to you.
605
00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:04,950
How did you know I was meeting
with Giallo tonight?
606
00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:07,119
You rub shoulders with the leadership.
607
00:37:07,202 --> 00:37:09,371
I rub shoulders with the people
who work for them.
608
00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:18,506
Think about it, Ms. Dunbar.
That's all I ask.
609
00:37:18,589 --> 00:37:19,923
Going down.
610
00:37:26,013 --> 00:37:28,015
I made a mistake.
611
00:37:28,098 --> 00:37:30,434
I mean, the way she spoke
to me in the Oval,
612
00:37:30,518 --> 00:37:33,270
I wanted to strangle her.
613
00:37:33,354 --> 00:37:35,147
I mean, what is she thinking?
614
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:38,984
Running against an incumbent when
I offered her a seat on the court...
615
00:37:39,067 --> 00:37:41,612
She was going to run the moment
Birch whispered in her ear.
616
00:37:41,696 --> 00:37:44,824
Once people imagine themselves
in the Oval, there's no turning back.
617
00:37:44,907 --> 00:37:46,283
You know that as well as anybody.
618
00:37:46,367 --> 00:37:49,745
It's my own damn fault.
Shouldn't have given Jacobs the choice.
619
00:37:49,829 --> 00:37:52,540
I should've just announced her
nomination before I even asked her.
620
00:37:52,623 --> 00:37:54,500
- Should I come home?
- No.
621
00:37:55,626 --> 00:37:58,003
I just need to think.
I need to clear my head.
622
00:37:58,086 --> 00:38:00,297
Tell me what I can do.
623
00:38:03,676 --> 00:38:05,720
Why did I hold back?
624
00:38:06,721 --> 00:38:09,139
Why did I show Jacobs any mercy?
625
00:38:09,223 --> 00:38:12,100
Francis, this doesn't sound like you.
626
00:38:12,184 --> 00:38:14,687
Put this behind you.
Think about what's next.
627
00:38:17,064 --> 00:38:19,358
It was because of Mahmoud.
628
00:38:20,902 --> 00:38:23,571
I let him get to me.
629
00:38:24,739 --> 00:38:29,076
And all those flags on those coffins
and those soldiers, whose...
630
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:32,162
I deployed and then
I buried in the ground. It's my...
631
00:38:32,246 --> 00:38:34,916
Stop it. This isn't doing you any good.
632
00:38:34,998 --> 00:38:37,418
I will talk about this
with you if you want,
633
00:38:37,501 --> 00:38:39,712
but if you're doubting yourself,
I can't indulge that.
634
00:38:39,795 --> 00:38:42,089
No, you're right, of course.
635
00:38:42,172 --> 00:38:43,758
Well, let's talk in the morning.
636
00:38:43,841 --> 00:38:46,552
- I'm here if you need me.
- I know.
637
00:38:47,762 --> 00:38:50,514
- Good night.
- Good night, Francis.
638
00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:18,542
Yes, can you reach out
to Bishop Eddis for me?
639
00:39:18,626 --> 00:39:20,043
I'll hold.
640
00:39:40,731 --> 00:39:42,274
Thank you, Meechum.
641
00:39:42,357 --> 00:39:44,610
- If we can have some privacy.
- Yes, sir.
642
00:39:47,029 --> 00:39:48,948
Still riding the Bonneville?
643
00:39:49,031 --> 00:39:52,534
Sold the '67 for a Pipeburn.
Beautiful bike.
644
00:39:52,618 --> 00:39:54,787
You should take me for a spin sometime.
645
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:56,705
I don't think so.
646
00:39:56,789 --> 00:39:58,666
They're a death wish.
647
00:39:58,749 --> 00:40:01,418
At least you know
you have a place in heaven.
648
00:40:05,756 --> 00:40:08,300
What's on your mind, Mr. President?
649
00:40:08,383 --> 00:40:10,761
The burial the other day.
650
00:40:10,845 --> 00:40:15,599
You talked about Abraham and Isaac.
God giving up his only Son.
651
00:40:15,683 --> 00:40:19,895
Between you and me, that's the same
sermon I always use at Arlington.
652
00:40:19,979 --> 00:40:23,357
You put enough soldiers in the ground,
you get tired of writing new ones.
653
00:40:25,275 --> 00:40:28,236
- It was the first time I had heard it.
- Won't be the last.
654
00:40:30,238 --> 00:40:32,783
I want to understand what justice is.
655
00:40:32,867 --> 00:40:36,244
That's a big one.
656
00:40:36,328 --> 00:40:37,872
I know.
657
00:40:39,790 --> 00:40:43,377
There's our justice,
the kind men create.
658
00:40:43,460 --> 00:40:47,589
We base it on things
like the Ten Commandments.
659
00:40:47,673 --> 00:40:51,093
But those can be read
a million different ways.
660
00:40:51,176 --> 00:40:54,179
"Thou shalt not kill"
seems pretty clear.
661
00:40:54,262 --> 00:40:57,683
Who's to say? If we didn't kill,
662
00:40:57,766 --> 00:41:00,602
others would kill instead of us.
663
00:41:00,686 --> 00:41:03,271
There's a lot of killing in the Bible.
664
00:41:03,355 --> 00:41:04,815
King David was a warrior.
665
00:41:04,899 --> 00:41:09,528
How do you reconcile that
with the laws that God gave Moses?
666
00:41:09,611 --> 00:41:12,489
Even those laws require interpretation.
667
00:41:13,741 --> 00:41:16,785
There are two laws we have to remember
above all else.
668
00:41:18,662 --> 00:41:21,999
He tells us to love God
669
00:41:22,083 --> 00:41:23,751
and to love each other.
670
00:41:25,669 --> 00:41:29,131
You can't love the people you kill.
671
00:41:29,214 --> 00:41:30,758
You sure as hell can.
672
00:41:30,841 --> 00:41:34,136
And you have to love the people
who are trying to kill you.
673
00:41:35,387 --> 00:41:37,806
Jesus loved the Romans.
674
00:41:37,890 --> 00:41:42,061
"Father, forgive them," he said,
"for they know not what they do."
675
00:41:42,144 --> 00:41:44,105
Why didn't he fight?
676
00:41:44,187 --> 00:41:46,941
Why did he allow himself
to be sacrificed?
677
00:41:48,358 --> 00:41:50,694
I ask myself that question a lot.
678
00:41:50,778 --> 00:41:53,072
I understand the Old Testament God,
679
00:41:53,155 --> 00:41:54,615
whose power is absolute,
680
00:41:54,698 --> 00:41:58,035
who rules through fear, but... him.
681
00:42:04,666 --> 00:42:07,502
There's no such thing
as absolute power for us,
682
00:42:07,586 --> 00:42:09,463
except on the receiving end.
683
00:42:10,547 --> 00:42:12,716
Using fear will get you nowhere.
684
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,427
It's not your job
to determine what's just.
685
00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:19,014
It's not your place to choose
the version of God you like best.
686
00:42:19,098 --> 00:42:21,308
It's not your duty
to serve this country alone,
687
00:42:21,391 --> 00:42:24,394
and it better not be your goal
to simply serve yourself.
688
00:42:24,478 --> 00:42:26,688
You serve the Lord.
689
00:42:26,772 --> 00:42:30,067
And through him, you serve others.
690
00:42:30,151 --> 00:42:35,030
Two rules:
Love God. Love each other.
691
00:42:35,114 --> 00:42:37,365
Period.
692
00:42:37,449 --> 00:42:40,161
You weren't chosen, Mr. President.
693
00:42:42,663 --> 00:42:44,623
Only he was.
694
00:42:50,629 --> 00:42:53,090
May I have a few moments?
695
00:42:53,174 --> 00:42:56,635
For myself. To pray.
696
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,472
It's all yours.
697
00:43:33,172 --> 00:43:34,589
Love?
698
00:43:35,632 --> 00:43:37,509
That's what you're selling?
699
00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,431
Well, I don't buy it.
700
00:44:07,748 --> 00:44:09,750
Is everything all right, sir?
701
00:44:11,001 --> 00:44:13,962
I was praying and it just fell.
702
00:44:38,695 --> 00:44:41,240
Please have someone clean this up.
703
00:44:41,323 --> 00:44:43,450
Yes, sir.
704
00:44:43,533 --> 00:44:45,327
Well, I've got God's ear now.
705
00:44:45,451 --> 00:47:08,292
