1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:02,210
Oh, what a difference a week makes.
2
00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:03,833
After trailing his
opponents in the first round
3
00:00:03,858 --> 00:00:05,049
of Republican primaries,
4
00:00:05,074 --> 00:00:07,092
Hollis Doyle has now taken the lead.
5
00:00:07,117 --> 00:00:09,524
I'm giving America back to Americans.
6
00:00:09,549 --> 00:00:11,426
No more of these
south-of-the-border types
7
00:00:11,451 --> 00:00:12,650
with their greedy little hands,
8
00:00:12,674 --> 00:00:13,935
or these shady fellas with mustaches
9
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,586
looking to blow up our buildings.
10
00:00:15,611 --> 00:00:18,240
This is our country.
I aim to keep it that way.
11
00:00:18,376 --> 00:00:20,796
Look at them.
It's like Throwback Thursday in there.
12
00:00:20,821 --> 00:00:22,213
A Gladiator reunion.
13
00:00:22,238 --> 00:00:23,544
- This is good?
- This is so good.
14
00:00:23,569 --> 00:00:25,562
- This is not good.
- This is good. Let it be good.
15
00:00:25,587 --> 00:00:26,730
Can't let it be good if it's not good.
16
00:00:26,754 --> 00:00:27,882
And that is not good.
17
00:00:27,907 --> 00:00:30,202
That looks good, but that is not good.
18
00:00:30,227 --> 00:00:31,027
Trust me.
19
00:00:31,053 --> 00:00:33,068
So, we are agreed, then.
Until Hollis Doyle goes down...
20
00:00:33,093 --> 00:00:34,729
No more campaigning against each other.
21
00:00:34,754 --> 00:00:36,709
- Mellie backs off of Susan.
- Susan backs off of Mellie.
22
00:00:36,734 --> 00:00:38,986
- We can do this.
- We can do this.
23
00:00:45,903 --> 00:00:47,913
[Sighs]
24
00:00:50,447 --> 00:00:53,193
Start gathering Intel.
I need something lethal on Susan.
25
00:00:53,218 --> 00:00:54,614
What about the cease-fire?
26
00:00:54,639 --> 00:00:55,791
Cease-fires get broken.
27
00:00:55,816 --> 00:00:57,904
I want to make sure we're protected.
28
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,325
Don't even.
29
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:02,964
It can still be good. There's time.
30
00:01:02,989 --> 00:01:04,572
They are never gonna be what they were,
Quinn.
31
00:01:04,597 --> 00:01:07,818
Deep down, Abby is one of us.
It can still be good.
32
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:13,224
[Camera shutter clicking]
33
00:01:13,412 --> 00:01:14,875
- You rang?
- Yeah.
34
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:16,037
We're gonna need some dirt.
35
00:01:16,062 --> 00:01:17,941
- On Hollis?
- On Mellie.
36
00:01:17,966 --> 00:01:20,509
If these talks break down,
and I think they might,
37
00:01:20,534 --> 00:01:22,434
we're gonna have a war on our hands.
38
00:01:22,459 --> 00:01:24,559

[Door opens]
41
00:01:35,034 --> 00:01:36,350
I came to take you to lunch.
42
00:01:36,375 --> 00:01:37,774
I don't have time to go to lunch.
43
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:39,838
I have to sit here and come
up with neutral things to say
44
00:01:39,863 --> 00:01:41,579
about Mellie Grant for
my press conference,
45
00:01:41,604 --> 00:01:43,035
so I can't go to lunch.
46
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:45,881
Which is why I brought lunch to you.
47
00:01:45,906 --> 00:01:47,450
Gettysburger!
48
00:01:47,475 --> 00:01:50,064
You are a truly special human being.
49
00:01:50,089 --> 00:01:52,517
Why are you saying neutral
things about Mellie?
50
00:01:52,542 --> 00:01:53,440
Ugh.
51
00:01:53,465 --> 00:01:55,323
Because we're in a cease-fire
with the Grant campaign,
52
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:56,822
which is killing me.
53
00:01:56,847 --> 00:01:58,596
Mellie wants to end Medicare.
54
00:01:58,621 --> 00:02:00,161
The woman hates old people.
55
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:02,086
But I have to smile and be neutral
56
00:02:02,111 --> 00:02:04,110
because we are going
to burn Hollis Doyle
57
00:02:04,135 --> 00:02:05,646
and his hillbilly hate to the ground.
58
00:02:05,671 --> 00:02:08,555
Hmm. Eyes on the prize.
59
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:09,689
It works.
60
00:02:09,714 --> 00:02:12,142
I'm about to argue a case
before the Supreme Court
61
00:02:12,167 --> 00:02:14,343
about whether the federal
government is liable
62
00:02:14,368 --> 00:02:15,877
for a regulatory taking
63
00:02:15,902 --> 00:02:17,872
based on the United States
Corps of Engineers' denial
64
00:02:17,897 --> 00:02:19,857
of a permit under Section 404
65
00:02:19,881 --> 00:02:21,883
of the Clean Water Act to fill wetlands.
66
00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:23,320
That's interesting.
67
00:02:23,345 --> 00:02:26,174
No. It's lethally dull.
68
00:02:26,289 --> 00:02:27,826
But eyes on the prize.
69
00:02:27,851 --> 00:02:30,904
Every time I hear the word
"wetlands" and "clean water,"
70
00:02:30,929 --> 00:02:32,744
I focus on some beach vacation
71
00:02:32,769 --> 00:02:34,409
the two of us might take someday.
72
00:02:34,434 --> 00:02:35,875
Hopefully soon.
73
00:02:36,494 --> 00:02:38,483
You want to take me on a vacation?
74
00:02:38,508 --> 00:02:40,467
I'm saying it's a trick I use.
75
00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:42,715
If I have a dull antitrust case,
76
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:45,126
I remember that antitrust
pretty much defines
77
00:02:45,151 --> 00:02:46,883
how you thought about
me for a long time,
78
00:02:46,907 --> 00:02:48,149
and rightfully so.
79
00:02:48,174 --> 00:02:51,237
And I'll focus on all the ways
I intend to make it up to you.
80
00:02:51,262 --> 00:02:55,092
A Fair Housing Act case
will get me thinking
81
00:02:55,117 --> 00:02:56,986
of the house we might live in together.
82
00:02:57,011 --> 00:02:59,445
And ERISA cases, normally the worst...
83
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:02,481
The Employee Retirement
Income Security Act...
84
00:03:02,506 --> 00:03:04,745
Well, I don't care about those anymore,
either.
85
00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:06,547
Because they help me
imagine the two of us
86
00:03:06,572 --> 00:03:07,511
getting old together,
87
00:03:07,536 --> 00:03:09,967
and I'd like for us to get old together.

Eyes on the prize.
89
00:03:13,297 --> 00:03:15,190
Mm-hmm.
90
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:20,529
What is happening?
91
00:03:20,578 --> 00:03:22,628
David.
92
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:25,892
David?
93
00:03:25,917 --> 00:03:27,130
I would think that it's clear.
94
00:03:27,155 --> 00:03:28,521
No. No!
95
00:03:28,546 --> 00:03:30,545
It's not clear. It's not clear to me.
96
00:03:30,570 --> 00:03:33,025
I mean, I think it is,
but I don't want to be a woman
97
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:36,201
who thinks a thing is
happening that's not happening.
98
00:03:36,226 --> 00:03:37,983
- It's happening.
- No!
99
00:03:38,507 --> 00:03:40,546
I'm gonna need you to say it.
100
00:03:40,571 --> 00:03:43,332
Just say it clearly in a full sentence.
101
00:03:43,357 --> 00:03:44,958
All the words.
102
00:03:45,381 --> 00:03:46,540
[Clears throat]
103
00:03:46,565 --> 00:03:47,632
Fine.
104
00:03:47,656 --> 00:03:49,759
I may or may not be asking...
Suggesting...
105
00:03:49,784 --> 00:03:51,066
That we get married.
106
00:03:51,091 --> 00:03:52,975
If you want to. This is your decision.
107
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,121
It's the 21st century.
108
00:03:54,146 --> 00:03:56,691
We could mutually decide
to join our lives together
109
00:03:56,716 --> 00:03:57,775
if you should so choose...
110
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Shhh!
111
00:04:04,099 --> 00:04:06,652
Ask me like a normal person.
112
00:04:11,415 --> 00:04:13,961
Susan...
113
00:04:15,103 --> 00:04:18,482
will you marry me?
114
00:04:23,206 --> 00:04:26,046
[Laughs lightly]
115
00:04:28,441 --> 00:04:31,303
[Camera shutter clicking]
116
00:04:31,328 --> 00:04:32,397
Cyrus.
117
00:04:32,422 --> 00:04:33,716
Olivia.
118
00:04:33,742 --> 00:04:35,824
Thanks for coming.
119
00:04:37,438 --> 00:04:40,645
You think I'm out of touch?
You think I've lost it?
120
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:42,151
That's why you called me? Cyrus...
121
00:04:42,176 --> 00:04:43,501
Liv.
122
00:04:43,559 --> 00:04:45,237
I'm s... please.

Talk. Frankie is brilliant.
126
00:04:50,573 --> 00:04:53,311
Smart, quick. But also warm, personable.
127
00:04:53,336 --> 00:04:55,172
When people hand him
their babies to hold,
128
00:04:55,197 --> 00:04:56,674
his face actually lights up.
129
00:04:56,715 --> 00:04:59,857
Not that politician grin everyone gets.
130
00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:01,643
His face fills with human joy
131
00:05:01,667 --> 00:05:03,538
because he likes
holding people's babies.
132
00:05:03,563 --> 00:05:06,533
He likes talking to people.
He doesn't mind touching people.
133
00:05:06,558 --> 00:05:09,685
He'll hug old ladies and
pray with those sickos
134
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:11,958
you always got to visit
in hospitals on the trail.
135
00:05:11,983 --> 00:05:12,989
And, Liv?
136
00:05:13,014 --> 00:05:16,224
He truly wants to make the
country a better place.
137
00:05:17,077 --> 00:05:20,097
He wants to help people.
138
00:05:22,018 --> 00:05:23,432
He's pure.
139
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:26,955
They love him like he's Kennedy
and King rolled into one.
140
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:30,989
He is a rockstar on the campaign trail,
141
00:05:31,014 --> 00:05:34,198
but he's still losing
every other primary.
142
00:05:34,844 --> 00:05:37,697
You believe he's the real thing.
143
00:05:39,824 --> 00:05:40,863
Yes.
144
00:05:40,888 --> 00:05:42,101
No.
145
00:05:42,126 --> 00:05:44,393
You believe.
146
00:05:44,418 --> 00:05:46,473
You. Cyrus Beene.
147
00:05:46,497 --> 00:05:48,252
You're a believer.
148
00:05:48,803 --> 00:05:50,081
Cyrus, that's...
149
00:05:50,106 --> 00:05:52,632
He's losing to Edison Davis.
150
00:05:52,657 --> 00:05:54,752
And there's no reason why he should be.
151
00:05:55,958 --> 00:05:59,034
I keep looking for something,
but maybe it's me.
152
00:05:59,059 --> 00:06:00,172
Maybe I'm done.
153
00:06:00,197 --> 00:06:03,634
Maybe you only get one or
two presidential elections.
154
00:06:03,659 --> 00:06:06,552
If I've lost my touch
155
00:06:06,577 --> 00:06:08,607
[sighs] if I'm bad at this now,
156
00:06:08,632 --> 00:06:10,957
too old for the gig, I need to know.
157
00:06:10,982 --> 00:06:13,474
You need to tell me so
I can get out right now,
158
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,673
before I do him any more damage.
159
00:06:21,436 --> 00:06:23,086
It's not you.
160
00:06:23,111 --> 00:06:26,327
You're not losing to Edison.
161
00:06:26,352 --> 00:06:28,457
You're losing to my father.
162
00:06:29,887 --> 00:06:31,519
He's running Edison's campaign?
163
00:06:31,544 --> 00:06:33,177
He's running Edison.
164
00:06:33,202 --> 00:06:35,193
He's running everything and everyone.
165
00:06:35,218 --> 00:06:37,697
So, what are we doing?
166
00:06:37,722 --> 00:06:39,209
[Sighs]
167
00:06:39,234 --> 00:06:40,849
What's the plan?
168
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,220
Because I'm happy to go all-in
169
00:06:43,245 --> 00:06:45,061
with whatever you've got going on.
170
00:06:45,086 --> 00:06:46,620
And I'll do some dirty work.
171
00:06:46,646 --> 00:06:49,605
I mean, I know you
say you won't kill him
172
00:06:49,629 --> 00:06:51,443
because he's your dad,
but let's at least talk about...
173
00:06:51,468 --> 00:06:52,363
Cyrus!
174
00:06:52,388 --> 00:06:54,479
I am not fighting my father,
because there's no way to win.
175
00:06:54,504 --> 00:06:56,831
And even if there was, I'm done trying.
176
00:06:56,856 --> 00:06:58,015
What about Mellie?
177
00:06:58,047 --> 00:07:00,477
You think this won't be an
issue in the general election?
178
00:07:00,502 --> 00:07:01,857
You think he won't steal the presidency
179
00:07:01,882 --> 00:07:03,211
right out from under
the American people's
180
00:07:03,236 --> 00:07:04,640
piggy little noses?
181
00:07:04,664 --> 00:07:07,863

about abortion, how he votes.
373

And if he says the right things
and votes the right way...

They will forgive him his sins.

In Hollis Doyle's lifetime...

That wasn't the case.
719
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:54,625
In today's America, my
parents don't have to
720
00:26:54,650 --> 00:26:56,439
recruit a white couple
who worked alongside them
721

at the cereal plant to
apply for a mortgage
722
00:26:57,849 --> 00:27:00,302
because banks wouldn't lend
to folks with brown skin.
723
00:27:00,327 --> 00:27:02,376
In today's America,
we have the Brandon Bill,
724
00:27:02,401 --> 00:27:04,603
which means I may not
have to tell my future son

by law enforcement

Black lives do matter

730

The fact that Doyle insists on saying
"all lives matter"
731
00:27:17,777 --> 00:27:20,258
when talking about this
movement really pisses me off.
732

someone else's funeral

let the adults talk.

Hollis Doyle is a thug. A punk.
739
00:27:38,236 --> 00:27:40,586
And the people who support
him are thugs or punks.
740
00:27:40,611 --> 00:27:42,228
Or they condone his behavior.
741
00:27:42,253 --> 00:27:44,151
They are not Americans.
742
00:27:44,176 --> 00:27:47,737
The idea that this country
belongs to one kind of person
743
00:27:47,762 --> 00:27:51,243
is the least American idea
that anyone has ever had.
744
00:27:51,268 --> 00:27:54,958
In fact, it is the opposite
of the ideals of this nation.
745

Nothing needs to be restored.
746

Nothing needs to be made great again.

We are a country where we are
always greater than our past.
