Designated Survivor (2016–2019): Season 1, Episode 18 - Lazarus - full transcript

Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

Looks like the House is gonna
pass the gun-control bill.

Speaker Hookstraten came through.

Now, I may be new to the
Hill, but so is everybody else.

You're the last of the old guard
around here, Madam Speaker.

So get on board... or step aside.

There is a connection
between MacLeish and Lozano.

And this FBI Agent,
Hannah Wells, was onto it.

Man: You're interested in Nestor Lozano.

So are we.

You got my attention.



Someone is feeding Abe
Leonard classified information,

and we need to find out who.

Hannah: This is a manifesto, Jason.

"Pax Americana... An American empire

to replace our own
constitutional government."

Oh, my God.

It's Lozano.

[Sighs] It can't be.

Lozano's dead.

Let me see that.

[Indistinct talking]

Tree line!

Go, go, go!

Man: Don't let them get away!

Shoot them!

[Sighs]

Oh, forget this.

[Beeps]

I thought we said
11:00. It's almost 2:00.

Man: Just testing your resolve.

Three whole hours... is that
all the truth is worth to you?

Is that what you're gonna
give me, the truth?

Tip I gave you on Hannah
Wells paid off, didn't it?

All right, what do you got for me now?

Another piece of the puzzle.

Why not the whole thing?

That's not how this works.

I'm not on the record here.

You need to find the story yourself,

and I need to know I can trust you.

You got to be kidding me.

I've never burned a source in my life.

I lost my job at the Herald

'cause I wouldn't give up my sources.

The White House is
covering up the truth.

Truth about what?

The Capitol bombing.

Hannah Wells' boss was the last person

to see Majid Nassar alive.

Jason Atwood... Check him out.

Wait, wait.

How the hell is Lozano still alive?

[Breathing heavily]

Jason, are you hit?

- [Groans] Oh, God.
- I got to get you to a hospital.

No, it can wait.

Damn it.

Male anchor: Today marks a milestone
for the Kirkman Administration

as he signs his
gun-control bill into law,

igniting hopes that this
unelected, independent president

can actually break the partisan gridlock

that's paralyzed Congress for years.

Female anchor: There's
another big winner today...

Speaker of the House Hookstraten,

the moderate Republican
who went out on a limb

supporting the White House on this.

These two have got to be
feeling good this morning.

Madam Speaker,

this could not have been
accomplished without you.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

[Camera shutters clicking]

I don't think my hand
has shaken this much

since I signed my first mortgage.

[Laughter]

Man: No dice.

What do you mean?

The plate's from a White
House pool of vehicles.

White House? You're sure?

That's what it says.

I need to get a name.

Hundreds of people work there.

Any one of them could have accessed it.

Hey, I paid you to get a name.

You paid me to run a plate.

- [Car door opens]
- Oh, come on.

Wh...

I should at least get a discount!

White House.

♪ ♪

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, hey! Big win today!

Yeah, for all of us.

Yeah, we're trending... #GunControlWins.

We, uh... We get you back in
the West Wing with the new VP?

Ask her.

What is it?

No comment.

No comment necessary.

The speaker swung the vote for POTUS,

creating a true bipartisan alliance.

No. Tri-partisan alliance.

You had Democrats, moderate
Republicans, and Independents.

I stand corrected... A
true tri-partisan alliance.

Now, who wouldn't
want to keep that going

with Hookstraten as VP?

Well, the polls are
in. America wants this.

And the president will make
up his mind when he's ready.

Yeah, but what's your opinion, really?

Hookstraten said she'd
deliver the vote, and she did.

That's it?

You find that evasive?
I find that evasive.

Absolutely.

That's evasive. I
want a straight answer.

Look, we all know that the relationship

between POTUS and the Speaker

hasn't always been easy.

He's a consensus builder,

and she's a...

Hey, watch it.

Bulldog is what I was gonna say.

That's fair.

Yeah, but Kirkman needs a bulldog,

especially one who controls
a majority in the House.

He needs allies, but he also

needs someone he can trust.

Mm, so you're saying you don't
find her to be trustworthy.

Okay, what is this? A press conference?

I am enjoying being on the other side

of the podium for once.

Of course you are.

All I'm saying is
that she's a politician

and he's not.

Well, opposites attract.

Sometimes.

I have to be honest...

When I first took
office, I had my doubts.

I didn't know if I could trust you,

and I knew you didn't trust me.

I trusted you were doing your best.

[Chuckles] I believe that.

Well, let's just say
you didn't have a lot of faith

in what my best could be.

Oh, you were an unknown
quantity, Mr. President.

I just wanted to make sure the
best interests of the country

were being protected.

I know.

I hope I passed the test.

I hope I did.

We have a lot of momentum

right now.

Together, as a team, we managed to cross

the bipartisan divide for the bill.

You did your job
quickly and efficiently.

I was really impressed.

I have sharp elbows

when I'm fighting for
something I believe in.

[Chuckles] Well, we can
certainly use your sharp elbows

when rolling out our
new legislative agenda.

But, Kimble... well, I
think we've got a chance

to do something really special here...

Beyond policy.

I would like my daughter to see a woman

become vice president
of the United States.

Sir...

so would I.

Good.

We'll start the formal vetting process.

As soon as you clear that,
we'll make a public statement.

I'm excited for both of us.

Thank you, sir.

No, thank you. Come on.

Today's legislation deals a serious blow

to Senator Jack Bowman,

who clearly underestimated
the president's ability

to build a successful coalition

in the House of Representatives.

[Door opens]

Senator, Liam Price to see you.

Send him in.

Thanks for seeing me, Senator.

I-I know what a busy schedule you have.

May I also say how much
I admired your stance

You said you have something for me?

Close the door.

Ritter: And you're sure it was him?

Yeah, it was him.

From one sighting, at 130 yards out,

through a night-vision scope?

I know what I saw. Atwood saw him, too.

Where is Atwood?

He's recovering. He
took a round in his arm.

What about Lozano? Did
you track the helicopter?

Tail number was blacked out.

And there's no FAA airtraffic
control in the area.

It's like he flew into a vacuum.

Did we secure the munitions, at least?

Yeah, the task force was on the ground

two hours after Hannah called it in.

They secured the silo,
but everyone was gone.

So, if Lozano's alive, then
who did the FBI take down

after the attempt on the president?

♪ ♪

Here's your boy.

Crime report said he
was holding a grenade.

What did the shrapnel tell you?

That he was less than three
feet away before he threw it.

So it was intentional.

Either that, or he was shot
before he could throw it.

How'd you I.D. him?

Prints on the left hand were intact.

Lower mandible, too. Did the trick.

[Cellphone ringing]

Aaron Shore.

Dan: It's Dan Pyne from Politico.

Hey, Dan. What's going on?

We're going with a story
about Speaker Hookstraten.

Wanted to give you guys
a chance to comment.

Okay, well, what's the story?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Did you see what just hit Politico?

No.

[Keyboard keys clacking]

This is bad, right?

No, this is really bad.

_

- Hey.
- Hey. You heard?

Yeah, Aaron gave me a heads-up.

Ava: Mr. President.

Kirkman: Thank you, Ava.

Am I missing something here?

Because as far as I can tell,
Kimble took a trip to Turkey

during her first year in Congress,

six months later, co-signed a bill

providing them with
further military assistance.

Turkey's been a member
of NATO since 1952,

so this is pretty standard practice.

What's the big deal?

It's the optics, sir.

It appears as though
she's accepting gifts

in return for military favors.

I don't care about the optics.

There's no sign of malfeasance here.

No, sir, but it's implied.

And this is a town that
loves to connect the dots.

She stayed in hotel suites
in Ankara and Istanbul

and had lavish meals.

What was she supposed to
do, check herself into a cell

and survive on bread and water?

The military-aid package
included the latest

in digital-surveillance technology.

And, at the time, the Pentagon
was strongly advising against

giving it to Turkey.

It was a controversial measure.
It only passed by four votes.

Everyone on that trip
voted in favor of it.

Circumstantial at best.
When can I talk to her?

- I'll set it up.
- Okay.

Thank you both.

[Door opens]

Mike, what is it?

It's about Nestor Lozano.

Sir, there's a possibility
that he's alive.

What?

How is that even possible?

Agent Wells thinks she
spotted him in North Dakota.

If she's right, who did the FBI kill?

Wells and Foerstel... They're
investigating that now.

As a precaution, we're
gonna switch up your schedule

and run more decoy motorcades.

I'm not worried about me.
What about Alex and the kids?

We're doing the same at Camp David,

along with increased perimeter security.

Sir, they won't even notice.

Okay. Thank you, Mike.

Thank you, sir.

Bowman: No, that's good. That
sounds like a win-win for everybody.

Aaron: Senator Bowman.

Now, listen, you let me know
when you have Goodman on board.

We'll see what we can do about
pushing it out of committee.

Now, if this has something
to do with your new boss,

I have nothing to say.

She didn't do anything wrong.

Oh, then there's nothing for
her to worry about, is there?

Yeah, except you can't
un-ring a bell, Senator.

Now, we both know an accusation
is just as bad as a conviction.

I-I'm sorry. I'm having a
really hard time understanding

what any of this has to do with me.

What, you're saying it's a coincidence

that right when she beats
you on the gun-control bill

that this hits Politico?

You're not White House Chief
of Staff anymore, Shore.

I'd watch your mouth.

Nobody from my office gave
that story to Politico.

And you expect me to believe that?

I don't give a damn what you believe.

♪ ♪

[Beeps]

Ritter: It's a match.

Yeah, but the body in
the morgue isn't Lozano's.

There's enough left of
his face to tell that.

But there's a positive
I.D. Who screwed up?

No one did.

Fingerprints and dental records matched.

Someone hacked the IAFIS database.

They switched Lozano's
records with the dead man's.

You realize what you're saying?

The clearance level it
would take to pull that off.

Well, we've known for a while
that someone in the White House

made Kirkman designated survivor.

Yeah, we thought it was someone

who probably died in
the Capitol bombing.

I think it's time that we consider

that this person may still be active.

Sloan: You know, how it
works at the Bureau.

I can't say anything about
the death of Majid Nassar.

It's an open investigation.

All right, but you know
Deputy Director Atwood, right?

I haven't seen him in a while.

Well, what does that mean?

Means I haven't seen him in a while.

What, he's not there anymore?

- I didn't say that.
- Well, you implied it.

No, I didn't.

What, was he canned? Is that it?

You're a disgrace, you know that?

You're worse than Atwood.

Whoa, whoa. Wait. What a
minute. What does that mean?

Don't call me anymore.

What does that mean?

Photographer: Just a
couple more. Thank you.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Okay, great.

Gentlemen, I want to
thank you for your service.

And I promise, we will
look at the numbers

for those body cameras
as soon as possible.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you. Gentlemen.

Sir, Speaker Hookstraten.

Kirkman: Great. Madam Speaker.

Mr. President.

Well, this afternoon
took a turn, didn't it?

Yes, sir. Please.

Thank you.

I just wanted to assure
you that the trip I took

and the bill I co-sponsored
were completely unrelated.

Kimble, I believe you.

The trip was largely agricultural...

Drip irrigation, things like that.

I thought it would be
useful for my constituents.

And the bill?

I co-sponsored it with
Representative Holden of Ohio,

former Chair of the
Armed Services Committee.

I've heard he was a good man.

He was my mentor.

And he believed the aid
package was necessary

to protect American personnel
at Incirlik Air Base.

And a majority of Congress
agreed with him, as it turned out.

Well, just tell people
what you just told me.

You have a ton of supporters.

It's a whole new
ballgame out there, sir.

The new Senate is like the
old Senate... conventional.

They were all appointed to
replace their predecessors.

But the House... they were
all elected, and they're young.

Youngest House in U.S. history.

And I'm old guard, sir.

[Chuckles]

They don't see me as
their legitimate Speaker.

I got here the same way
you did... by surviving.

Well, that's not fair or true.

You were elected. You were
a serving Congresswoman.

Besides, if they wanted to replace you,

they could have done it a while ago.

They were finding their feet.

And now they have their
excuse to replace me.

Because of Senator Bowman.

He's denying it, but who
benefits most from this?

I'm his biggest rival in the party.

Son of a bitch.

Committee just announced

Jay Whitaker, Homeland Security Adviser.

Thank you for meeting me.

I put together that video you asked for.

We were able to
reconstruct Lozano's path

from the PLC Building

where the assassination
attempt took place

to the Annapolis facility
where he was taken down.

This is Lozano exiting the PLC Building.

This is the camera that
covers the main entrance.

This camera covers the side,
and you see him walking there.

He walks two blocks
north to Union Station.

Then we got him on camera
passing an ATM machine.

Next we pick him up
in the parking garage

where he jacked the minivan.

We have the minivan on
constant camera surveillance

all the way out of the city.

- It's all on the flash drive.
- Good.

Here's where Maryland State Police

spot him entering Annapolis.

A unit attempts to pull him over,

which leads to a high-speed pursuit.

But Lozano manages to elude them.

Then he flees on foot into
the marine-storage facility.

At this point, Maryland State Police

set up a perimeter and
wait for the FBI to show up.

This is how that plays out.

♪ ♪

And that flash, is that
the grenade going off?

Yes. At first we thought he was
shot before he could throw it,

but the coroner's
report was inconclusive.

He may have detonated it deliberately.

From what I've read,
Lozano was a total soldier.

Well, this is very
impressive. Thank you.

It's all on here, including
the highway cams, as I said.

This is gonna help us a lot with
the rest of our investigation.

I'm just glad we caught
the son of a bitch.

Yeah.

Hey, Dan.

- Shore.

Nice smear job.

Give me a break.

I called you for a comment.

Yeah, and you buried it
under four graphs of innuendo.

Look, I-I want to see
both sides of the story.

And the Speaker's willing to
sit with you... an exclusive.

I already reported that
she denies any wrongdoing.

Yeah, but... But it's not the same

as letting her tell
her side to the story.

Well, she can tell the Ethics Committee.

public with your choice.

No. Sir, this is not

We need to cut her loose now.

Kimble told me she

If you nominate her at this point,

you will destroy all

I also want Seth to start
working on a press release.

I want to remind the American people

of what we've just accomplished here,

Speaker Hookstraten

that bipartisan divide.

What about finding a

That's a good idea.

Let's see what names
we can attach to it.

unscrupulous punk like you.

It is very convincing

Here is Lozano, supposedly
leaving the PLC Building

after the assassination attempt,

but look... His face is always down,

away from the surveillance
cameras, right?

His back is turned. His collar's up.

Now, look at the street.

- Same deal.
- Foerstel: Mm.

Could be Lozano, but who knows?

Now, the parking garage.

We're on his back the whole time.

It's like he knows
where the cameras are.

Exactly.

And the next time we
get a good look at him...

he's crossing from the car
to the storage facility.

Right. There's no way to tell.

Right.

So, when did they make the switch?

Here is the footage from the
PLC Building after the shooting.

And now this is the next morning,

20 hours and 17 minutes after that.

Long after the building
has been cleared,

long after the suspect
has been shot dead...

someone leaves the building.

Would you like me to zoom in?

Please.

Lozano never left the building that day.

He waited till the coast was clear.

He left the next day.

So, it's true?

Ritter: Lozano is alive, sir.

And Agent Wells is absolutely positive?

Yes, sir.

The man the FBI killed was a decoy

and was willing to sacrifice
his life to help Lozano escape.

Sacrifice his life for what?

And why?

How many more of them are out there?

Good news?

We got a hit on the dead guy's
prints... Desmond Legarth.

ATF picked him up in 2005
on a gun-possession charge.

I just sent you the file.

This guy fell off the
grid six years ago.

Before that, he was Army Infantry.

His last known employment was
a small-arms instructor for...

Browning Reed.

Financial forensics did
a full work-up on him.

He took out a loan for
his mother's house in 2003.

You know who co-signed that loan?

They're gonna go after her hard.

Looks like she was right

Okay.

After 9/11, he won over $2 billion

in government
contracts... Super patriot.

A friend to politicians and generals...

Until things went south.

Yeah, I heard... Scandals and lawsuits.

Company went under.

Yeah, but not because
he couldn't afford it,

because he felt betrayed
by his own government.

He turned.

Since he dissolved the company,

Lloyd's become a political player.

He started behind the scenes,

but now he's making more
public appearances now.

Very big on the alt-right circuit,

but he makes those
guys look like liberals.

Scary thing is,

he's got the IQ and the
money to back up his views.

So where do we find him?

He's been hiding in plain
sight the whole time.

Hannah: There he is.

Oh, we have visitors.

Will you take that for

Hey, there.

[Chuckles]

FBI or, uh, Homeland?

What gave us away?

Oh, shoes, the walk...

the fact that federal agents

raided a piece of property that
was owned by my former company

a few nights ago... Take your pick.

FBI.

Ah.

I'm Agent Foerstel. This is Agent Wells.

So, how about we talk about that silo?

And the munitions you
were keeping there.

Certainly.

They are Russian-made land
mines, 300,000 of them,

flooded the market after Russia
pulled out of Afghanistan.

Browning Reed bought them, legally,

and used them for our Demining training.

My attorney has all the
import permits on file.

Here's his card. Hmm.

Though, I expect he'll
contact you first,

once he's pulled together the charges

for the illegal search and seizure.

What about Desmond Legarth?

Who's that?

You bought his mother a house.
You don't remember his name?

Well, if I did that,

then I assume he must
have worked for me.

I gave loans to hundreds of
my employees over the years,

most of them veterans, ignored
by the country they served.

See, I won't ignore them,

and I won't fail our
ancestors by allowing America

to become a broken system of oppression.

It...

What did Mr. Legarth do?

He's a person of interest
in an ongoing investigation.

Well, you must be searching in the dark

if you're talking to me.

Well, we're not reading
tea leaves, Mr. Lloyd.

Fact is, Browning Reed keeps coming up

in connection to our case.

Browning Reed no longer exists.

Uh, yet they still hold titles
to properties and munitions.

Liquidating a billion-dollar business

takes time, Agent Foerstel.

It's something that someone
on a government salary

might have trouble understanding.

If you want to talk again,

please feel free to contact my attorney.

Hannah: Charming.

Hey, did you put eyes on Lloyd?

Yes, 24/7.

And I'm betting he's
very well aware of it.

It's fine. Maybe it'll slow him down.

[Sighs]

Look...

If you're right, i-if
he's the guy behind this,

it's gonna be just like MacLeish.

Knowing and proving are
two very different things.

And Lloyd is 10 times more dangerous.

He is protected in every way...

Physically, financially, legally.

No one is above the law.

Yes, I get that, but it's
gonna be very difficult

to catch him with dirty hands.

We're gonna have to work our way

His organization?

What organization?

I was down there in North Dakota.

I saw them. They vanished.

They're everywhere and nowhere.

They're the waitress at the
