Designated Survivor (2016–2019): Season 3, Episode 7 - #identity/crisis - full transcript

Previously on
"Designated Survivor"...

MacLeish turned down
Speaker of the House.

- What about the vice presidency?
- I would be honored.

MacLeish?
For VP?

They want
to start the vetting.

I have a source claiming

that Leo Kirkman
is not the president's son.

Chernow:
We have Majid Nassar.

Effective interrogation
takes time.

You've got 24 hours.

Hannah:
You signed on to this,



and you don't know
the person who set you up?

He said
his name was Catalan.

If you tell anyone,
he'll kill you, too.

- What is it?
- Nassar. And I found him like this.

Jason: I want the name
of every single person

that came in contact
with that food.

I want tox, I want DNA,
I want fingerprints.

I want video-camera
surveillance footage.

Every single result
comes to me.

Still wrapping things up.

Whoever blew up the Capitol
must have murdered Nassar

before he told anyone else
the truth.

He told us, Jason.

I know.



But what good
does that do us now?

We have no proof.

Which is why we need
to press on

with the only lead
Nassar gave us.

- Yeah.
- All right.

Lieutenant's outside.
Watch your back.

But if we're the only ones
that he told about Catalan,

it's only a matter of time
before they come for us.

Tom: When the New York Yankees
took the field

a week after 9/11,

they allowed us
to move forward with our lives.

It was sports, not speeches,

that allowed us
to get back on our feet.

So when I heard that our
athletes were going to Moscow

to compete in the International
Track and Field Championships,

I wanted to thank them myself.

Coach Weston.

It's an honor, Mr. President.
We're extremely proud.

Especially after what
our nation's been through.

The honor is mine.

Coach Weston,
show them what we've got.

You must get this
all the time,

but back in '92, when
you broke the world record

for the 400 meters,

that was one of the most
incredible things I'd ever seen.

I appreciate that,
Mr. President.

Wyatt:
Excuse me, Mr. President.

Congressman MacLeish
and his wife have arrived.

Thank you, Wyatt.

I'm sorry.
I have to step away.

It was a pleasure
to meet you.

Remember, Mr. President,
leaders are made, not born.

We're rooting for you, sir.
Thank you.

I don't know
what it was I ate,

but whatever it was,
I was sick as a dog.

And let me guess.

Like a gentleman, he held
your hair back the whole time.

No.
He put me in a cab on my own,

and he went
back into the restaurant,

and he sat there until
they shut the kitchen down

- so that no one else would get sick.
- Oh.

And that is when I knew...

That I would be
a good health inspector.

How about you guys?

H-How did
you first meet?

We met in college.

My sorority sister
came home one day and said,

"I have the perfect guy
for you. He's cute. He is funny."

- Mm-hmm.
- And that was...

My roommate.

Who could not have been
less interested in me.

I don't believe that.

Well, to soften the blow,
he introduced me to Peter.

I like to think
I reaped the benefits

- of my roommate's poor judgment.
- Mm-hmm.

How do you think
it's going?

Well, probably the same as
when you asked 10 minutes ago.

First game back, the Wizards
are already bombing.

I'm sorry.
Poor choice of words.

I'm telling you,
we're never gonna find

a better candidate for
vice president than MacLeish.

You know that.
I know that.

But POTUS has never been
in this position before.

- He wants to be thorough.
- I just wish we could fast-forward

to the part where we give the
country some good news for once.

Especially with elections
coming up.

No!

Wall can't play
through that one!

He's got to get
Porter or Beal involved.

- Porter was late filling the lane.
- What?

Men don't own sports.

Aaron Shore.

Yeah.

Yeah.
Thank you.

I'll let him know.

Damn it.

What is it?

Hey, Aaron, I need five minutes
with the president.

It's personal.

The president's not doing
personal tonight.

Beth: Do you mind
if I ask a question?

Alex: Sure.
Go ahead.

I-I...
I guess I'm just curious

what it's like
really living here,

you know, with your family
and your marriage, the scrutiny.

We're still trying
to figure that out.

Aaron: Sorry to interrupt.

Mr. President,
may I have a word, please?

Of course.
Will you excuse me?

So, where is
the roommate now?

Majid Nassar is dead?

How the hell
is that even possible?

He was in our custody.

FBI's investigating.

They say
he was poisoned in his cell.

Son of a bitch.

I can get Deputy Director Atwood
here within the hour

- for a briefing.
- Do it. Now.

Aaron.

Not a word of this
to anyone.

Not until
we have some answers.

I am so sorry.

This is gonna take longer
than I had hoped.

Oh no, no.
Don't apologize.

We understand.
Duty calls.

Mr. President,
I know I'm not VP yet,

and... and maybe
I never will be,

but if there's ever
anything I can do

to help you ease your burden,

I hope
you won't hesitate to ask.

Thank you, Peter.

Again, I am so sorry.

Excuse me.

Yeah, of course.

All right.

The president wants a briefing
on the Nassar murder.

- Now?
- Yeah.

Okay, you need to tell him.
Everything we know.

The president
is expecting me

to brief him
on a murder investigation.

He's gonna think I'm crazy

if I blindside him
with theories about MacLeish.

They're not theories.

Peter MacLeish
has closer ties to the attack

than Nassar ever did,
and we have evidence of that.

It is only a matter of time

before he's a heartbeat away
from the presidency.

Kirkman needs to know that.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Wyatt: The president's
ready for you, sir.

Mr. President.

Thank you, Wyatt.

Deputy Director, please tell me
that you've got some answers.

I believe I do, sir.

That's good news.

Congressman MacLeish.

I wasn't expecting
to see you.

The congressman has served

on the Subcommittee for
Terrorism and Homeland Security.

Given the circumstances,
I felt it was appropriate

that he joined us tonight.

Yes, of course.

What the hell
happened with Nassar?

Well, we don't have
much intel at the moment,

but I promise you we're looking
into every possibility.

Did we get anything
out of him before he died?

He wasn't very cooperative.

I get
that he wasn't cooperative.

You asked for the authority
to interrogate him.

I gave it to you.

I assumed
you knew what you were doing.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

I wish I could say more.

Deputy Director,
when you walked in,

you said you thought
you had answers.

I meant that we are
still working on it.

Fine.

That'll be all.

Get back to me when you've
actually got something.

Yes, sir.

Mr. President.

Congressman.

That didn't make
any sense.

Oh, Mr. President,
I have to believe the FBI

is doing everything they can
to solve this.

I'm sure you're right.

This is becoming a habit.

I remember when you used to
wake up to me working.

Trust me,
I liked it better that way.

What's going on?

You ever get
that weird feeling

when you think
someone's lying to you?

- Mm.
- Of course you do.

- You're a lawyer.
- Who are you thinking?

Jason Atwood.

Deputy Director, FBI.

Why do you think
he's lying?

Can't say exactly.

I just have this feeling
that something's not right.

Atwood pressed me really hard
to interrogate Majid Nassar.

12 hours later,
Nassar's dead.

Atwood can't answer a single
question about how or why.

It just doesn't feel right.

Well, when I'm trying
a case,

I only bring up
what I can prove.

Atwood's not gonna give you
any answers

that he can't
stand behind.

I'd just give him
some time.

Morning, Mr. President.

Did you get any sleep?

I'm sure that bedroom's
seen a lot of things,

but I don't think a good night's sleep
is one of them.

Look, I need you
to stay on top

of the Nassar
investigation.

Use every resource
our intelligence community

- has to offer.
- Absolutely, sir.

- Good morning, Wyatt.
- Good morning, Mr. President.

Mr. President,
I just got off the phone

with our ambassador
in Russia.

Coach Weston

was arrested
upon landing in Moscow.

What?
On what charges?

Customs found 20 vials
of HGH in his bag.

They're saying that he's been
supplying his athletes

with
performance-enhancing drugs.

And the Russians
are complaining?

- That's ironic.
- I don't believe it.

Whether it's true or not,
the head of the U.S.A. team

was arrested on foreign soil.
This is a national embarrassment.

The State Department
needs to get him a lawyer.

- They're sending one over right now.
- I want to talk to them right away.

I meant
what I said last night.

- Coach Weston is a national hero.
- Yes, sir.

I wouldn't be surprised if
the president tried to fire me.

How the hell am I
gonna talk about MacLeish

if MacLeish
is standing right there?

I got to get another meeting
as soon as possible.

Where are we
with Catalan?

TIDE and Interpol
came up with nothing.

The only hits on any watch lists
are old Spanish radicals.

Did you run him as
a specially designated national?

Nothing.

How the hell
are we gonna get lucky?

Well, not everything
the CIA knows

comes up
on the TIDE database, so...

- You got a source?
- I do.

I'm gonna see him
this afternoon.

He just
doesn't know it yet.

Let me know
as soon as Weston

speaks with the lawyers
from the embassy.

This is a top priority
for the president.

Hey, I really need that five
minutes with the president.

Now is not a good time, Seth. A
national icon's on his way to the Gulag.

Yeah, fully aware. I have 50 reporters
waiting for me to comment on that.

But I really need
to talk to him.

I told you,
the president has no time

for personal requests
right now.

You don't understand. This is not me
personal. This is POTUS personal.

That reporter I met
the other night, Lisa.

She needs a comment
on a story.

- What story?
- A couple of days ago,

she says a criminal-defense
lawyer came to see her.

He says that his client,
who he will not name,

is Leo's biological father.

Aaron: All right.

You can have
your five minutes, now.

Is it true?

His name
is Jeffrey Myers.

Alex was seeing him
when we met.

She broke it off
right before we started dating.

When we found out
Alex was pregnant,

the timing of that
scared her.

She asked me
if I wanted to take a test.

I said no.
Nothing would change.

I loved her.

Well, the good thing is,
without a paternity test,

they don't have
anything concrete.

He doesn't need it.

Once the story goes public,
it's gonna raise questions

that won't go away
until they're answered.

What's he in prison for?

He was convicted two years ago
of felony tax evasion.

Five-year sentence.

For tax evasion?
How much was he hiding?

$46 million.

Seth, this reporter...

- Lisa Jordan from the Chronicle.
- Right. What does she want?

A comment.

I can hold her off,

but I don't have
any ground to stand on.

The story doesn't have any
national-security implications.

No.
Just family ones.

Hold her off
as long as you can.

I don't want Alex and Leo
getting blindsided by this.

Si...

- Uh...
- What?

Well, sir, the...
the first lady already knows

that Myers
has been talking.

What?

A week ago.
we were talking about it,

and she promised me
that she would talk to you.

You knew
that son of a bitch Myers

was making noise a week ago,
and you didn't tell me?

Oh, w-when was
I supposed to do that?

Between Majid Nassar,

uh, the governors
holding you hostage...

Come on, Alex.
That's not fair.

We have a deal.

No matter what's happening with
us, our children come first.

Don't you dare throw that
at me.

My whole life
has been about protecting them,

especially now.

17 years trying
to shield Leo from this.

All it took was a month
in the White House to undo it.

Maybe the mistake

was keeping it from him
in the first place.

Seth thinks
he can buy us some time.

Time?

He can get us
all the time in the world.

This is not gonna go away.

You are the president now.

Why don't
I try and talk to Myers,

see if I can fix this?

No, no.
That's not a good idea.

Well, do you have
a better one?

What?!

What is it?

Acting Secretary
of State Paulsen

- has brought James Carrera with her.
- Why?

They wouldn't tell me, sir,
but they said it was urgent.

Thank you, Wyatt.

- Director Carrera. Secretary Paulsen.
- Mr. President.

Do we have an update
on Al-Sakar?

No, sir.

We need to talk to you
about Brad Weston.

Okay.

We need to do
everything we can

to bring him back home
immediately.

Is there something
I should know?

Sir, Brad Weston
is one of ours.

He works for the CIA.

He's a spy?

I can't believe
Coach Weston is a spy.

He's not an officer.
He's a resource.

As a world-class coach,
he gets into rooms

with ministers,
oligarchs, presidents,

and when he returns
to America,

he shares with us
what he's seen and heard.

But what about the drugs?

We suspect
they were planted

to give the Russians
a pretense for his arrest.

What's
the maximum sentence?

For drugs?
Life.

For espionage?
Death.

Without our help,
he's never leaving Russia.

So, are pinball people just
too old to play video games?

We're a dying breed.

What do you want, Hannah?

I need your help.

Sorry.
Can't do it.

FBI is persona non grata
at the moment.

Your boss made a play

to wrestle Nassar
away from the CIA.

We take that personally.

All right.

I'll just have
to find Catalan myself.

Hey.

Where the hell
did you hear that name?

I've run his name
through every database.

I got nothing.
The guy's a ghost.

If the agency
knows anything...

Here's what I know.

Stay out of it.

And if you ask
anyone else,

they'll tell you the same,
just less politely.

The man's a mercenary...

and a traitor.

What do you mean?

He's American?

Wait a minute. That's all
you're going to give me?

You don't think
I'm helping you, Hannah?

Walk away.

That's the best help
anyone can give you.

Now, sir, in the off chance
that the Russians

don't know that Weston
is working for us,

we can't say anything
to Ambassador Petrov

that might
compromise him.

I understand.

Don't admit anything
until they do.

Ambassador Petrov.

I'm President Kirkman.

I wish we were meeting

under better circumstances,
Mr. President.

It's a shame to see
a legend like Mr. Weston

rely on such dishonest means
to win.

Yes, I know
how stringent your country

has been
about that sort of thing.

Well, this is a serious
violation of our laws.

Maybe that's why you brought
a representative

from your ministry of defense
to this meeting.

I didn't realize
that personal drug infractions

was a matter
of national security in Russia.

Well, perhaps
it's for the same reason

you brought
your head of CIA.

Mr. President, it's time
to drop the charade.

We both know Brad Weston
is a U.S. asset.

You and I have
a very different perspective

on who Coach Weston is.

Having said that, I do believe
that both our countries

would be served
dealing with this

as quietly and quickly
as possible.

What do you want?

All American nuclear weapons

removed from Incirlik
Air Base in Turkey.

That will never happen.

Then I'm afraid your asset
will face the Russian courts...

which do not look kindly
on either drugs... or spies.

And with the cooperation
of our nation's governors,

as you know,
special congressional elections

have been confirmed
for later this week.

Okay, I just have time
for a couple more questions.

- Yeah.
- Where is Majid Nassar?

And why is the White House

being so secretive
about his location?

Shelly,
we've been through this.

Majid Nassar is
at an undisclosed location

both for his protection and for
the safety of those guarding him.

Seth.

Any update on Brad Weston?

Yes. The president
had a very productive meeting

with the Russian ambassador,

and we're hopeful
that the situation

will be resolved soon, okay?

Thanks, everybody.

Thank you.

Lisa, hey.

Well,
if it isn't Seth Wright.

You have that comment for me,
or you just miss me already?

Can I talk to you privately?

Yeah.

So, I have a very uncomfortable,
likely inappropriate favor

to ask you.

Okay.

I need you to hold that story
on Leo for as long as possible.

'Cause it's true?

- I'm not saying that.
- Hmm.

Look, I know it doesn't
look like I'm begging,

but this is me begging.

24 hours.

I can't stall my editors
any longer than that.

Thank you.

You are
not gonna believe this.

Catalan is an American.

My contact
says he's a traitor.

- You've got to be kidding me.
- What?

Congressman.

Agent Wells.

Hello.
It's good to see you again.

And you.

Deputy Director,
may I have a moment?

Sure.

Agent Wells, we're get
back to that in a second.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Have a seat.

You know, these unexpected
meetings are becoming a habit.

Yeah.
I'm sorry.

I know you have your hands full
with the Nassar investigation.

And on top of that,

I understand the FBI's
been asked to vet me for VP.

So let me save the bureau
some resources.

Seven years.
State and federal tax returns.

Military service records
and discharge papers.

Latest medical exams.

A few other things in there

I thought
you might be interested in.

And these documents...

Any chance they won't match
what we can find ourselves?

Not unless my wife,
lawyer, and internist

are conspiring
against me.

You do understand that we will
continue with our own vetting?

I'd expect no less.

You know how it is.

What's on the paper,

that tells a story
that we want to tell.

But what's not
on the paper...

That's what
people remember.

The impressions
we leave behind.

Now, we search
for those, too...

'cause, you see, that's
the true measure of a man.

Of course.

I think the last thing
that either of us wants

is the wrong person
in office.

I promise you.

The bureau
ain't gonna let that happen.

Deputy Director...

thank you.

Congressman.

What the hell was that?

What the hell
you think it was?

A bunch of B.S.

The guy's gonna walk in here

and voluntarily give us
10 years of papers

that no one asked for?

Now, why would he be
so eager to do that?

Because he's got
something to hide.

Early this morning,
upon arrival in Moscow,

customs agents discovered
20 vials of HGH in my suitcase.

I was well-aware that
these were illegal in Russia.

But I was under pressure
to make sure

that we were performing
at the highest level.

I am very sorry
for my transgressions

against the Russian government.

Well, the Russians
are doubling down.

By coercing a confession
from an American legend.

We've got to stop this.
I just don't know how.

Sir, I think I know a way
to get Brad Weston back.

Are you a basketball fan?

What does basketball
got to do with this?

Last year, the Washington Wizards
traded for the Thunder's point guard.

But the Wizards didn't have
a player the Thunder wanted,

so they had to find
a third team who did.

Apparently,
men don't own sports.

No, this is good.
A three-way trade.

Find out
what the Russians want.

Find the country
that's got it.

Yes, sir.

Alex Kirkman.

You did well
for yourself.

Can't say the same
for you.

18 years.

Beautiful as ever.

What do you want, Jeffrey?

- You always had an angle.
- Mm.

Yeah,
I made a lot of money

for a lot of people
working an angle.

That's funny.

You never could tell
the difference

between an insult
and a compliment.

But you're not here
to reminisce, are you?

No, I am not.

I am here to tell you
in no uncertain terms

to stay away from my son.

Your son?

- Yeah.
- Mm.

I saw you on TV.

You, the president,
your family.

And looking at Leo,
his eyes, his chin,

all I could think was, "Wow.
He could be my son."

And looking at you now,

I can tell.
You're not sure either.

Oh, no.

He has a father.

Oh, I know.

A man with the authority
to release me with time served.

Wow.

You really haven't changed
at all.

Look at where I am, Alex.

So, either you help me
get out of here,

or I tell the world
my story.

Madam Secretary, I want
to thank you for your diligence.

Woman:
Thank you, Mr. President.

Excuse me for one second.

Of course, sir.

We've identified
something the Russians want.

From the Saudis.

But we have
to act fast, sir.

Good work.

- Set it up.
- Yes, sir.

Took some nerve
for MacLeish to show up here.

Tell me about it.

But when you look at his file,
what do you notice?

- That Peter MacLeish is boring.
- Right.

And that's his proof

that he's
some exemplary human being.

Well, we know he's mixed up
in this, so there goes that.

Yeah, but the problem is,
Nassar has no idea who he is.

So how do we connect

a three-time congressman
from Oregon

with a jihadist
from North Africa?

Maybe Catalan
is the connection.

Yeah, but we still
don't know who Catalan is.

Hi, hon.
What's up?

Yvette:
Luke never got off the bus.

I came to the school.

He's not here either.

All right, well, did you
look everywhere for him?

Check the baseball field?
Or did you call the police?

No, I called you.

Okay, Yvette,
hang up the phone

and call the police.

I'm gonna meet you
at the school.

What's going on?

My son
never made it home.

I got to go.

Ambassador Petrov?

Waiting in the Oval.

The Saudi ambassador's
in the Roosevelt Room, sir.

Got it.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Mr. Ambassador.

Thank you for making it here
on such short notice.

Please.

King Ahmed is always eager
to help his American friends.

Well, then I'll get
straight to the point.

I would like
to propose a deal.

I would like
to propose a deal.

A deal?

A deal?

In exchange for Mr. Weston?

- Yes.
- And what is this?

We are willing to return
four Saudi nationals

who were arrested
by the FBI

for committing
industrial espionage

against a Texas oil company.

Or so you claim.

Nevertheless,
would you like

to see them free
and flying home tonight?

And what would you like
in return?

The Russian agent you picked up
in Riyadh last summer.

An agent?

This man was a private citizen
on a business trip.

Not according
to the Saudis.

He was a deep-cover operative
for the FSB.

And what would the Saudis
like from us?

Absolutely nothing.

And what do the Russians
want from us?

Absolutely nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing?

As long as the Russians
get their officer back,

we will return your people
to you.

I must say,
Mr. President...

This is
a very unusual proposal.

These are
very unusual times.

So, we get
our citizens back.

And we get our comrade home.

And an American hero

gets to return home
to a grateful nation.

Mr. Ambassador...

do we have an agreement?

A transnational
three-way spy trade.

- Well done, sir.
- Nothing's done yet.

And it's not gonna take much
for it to all fall apart.

So I need you both
to stay on top of it.

I need to see Alex
over at the residence.

Yes, sir.

He actually
makes me reconsider

my position
on the death penalty.

What did he want?

He'll back off if you call
the parole board on his behalf.

- Time served, early release.
- Yeah.

If not,
he talks to the reporter.

It's blackmail.

An opportunist
with a credible threat

is a dangerous thing.

I never thought I'd be
dealing with this again.

Whether or not
Leo was mine.

I can't even remember the last
time I thought about it.

I guess
I always figured he had to be,

because I loved him
so much.

He is yours.

Come on, Tom.
He will always be yours.

Pretty soon,
our son and this country

might not feel the same way.

- You were right.
- About what?

When you got pregnant
with Leo,

you were worried about
the timing of everything.

You wanted to know
who the father was.

You asked me
to get tested.

I said no.

We didn't need to.

I even acted noble
about it,

like I was protecting Leo
somehow.

Truth is,
I was protecting myself.

I loved you so much.

I knew what I wanted,

and I was scared to death

of anything
that could jeopardize that.

Tom...

Leo has every right to know
who his real father is...

even if it's not me.

Yeah?

Okay.

They need me
down in Command Ops.

- Yvette.
- Jason.

Did you find him?

They searched
the whole school.

- He is not here.
- Okay, calm down.

All right, did you tell them
about the comic-book store?

Yes, I told them
about the comic-book store.

What about the park?

Our son plays Little League
over at the park on Chamberlain.

Deputy Director... you know
most situations like this,

the kid turns up
in a few hours,

doesn't even know anyone's
been looking for him.

Except this time,
it's my son.

You go home.

You wait on Luke, okay?
Stay by your phone.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna find our son.

Sir, the spy exchange
is imminent.

All three planes
are about to land.

London,
Moscow, Riyadh.

- Finally.
- Sir?

First good news
we've had all day.

Where are we?

Sir, first two planes
have arrived.

We've gotten confirmation from our people
in Moscow and Riyadh.

We're waiting on London.

Weston's plane has landed.

The Embassy Deputy
Chief of Mission, DCM.

We'll have a live feed
when he greets Weston.

Those are
the Russian pilots.

Weston should be
stepping off now.

Ask him again.

What's going on?

I want confirmation now.

Mr. President...

it appears Brad Weston
never got on that plane.

Jason, did you find him?

No.

Hannah,
let me ask you a question.

What if this isn't
a coincidence?

What do you mean?

I mean MacLeish shows up
at my office,

and then my son
goes missing.

- Jason, stop.
- No. Aren't you the one

that told me
the night of the attack,

MacLeish's kid was taken,
right?

No, I told you that his wife
may have lost her at the mall.

That's not the same thing.

We don't know that this is
what we're dealing with.

Well, how do we know
it's not?

I mean, this...

this is all my fault.

Hey, listen to me.
We're in this together.

All right, I'm on it.

How the hell
was he not on that plane?

So, what, the Russians
are still holding him?

Sir,
I can't answer that yet.

But I can assure you that we
have everyone looking for him.

Transmit it directly.

We've got the right
encryption packet in place.

Mr. President,
my apologies.

Our agents
needed time to confirm.

You need to see this.
Put it up on the screen.

What am I looking at?

The one on the right
is Viktor Mishkin.

Our Moscow station identified
him as a Russian FSB captain,

and the top recruiter
of foreign assets.

And the man on his left?

That's Brad Weston, sir.

However it happened,
he's still in Russia.

He made contact with their
intelligence a few minutes ago.

We believe the other man is
Weston's contact and handler.

Handler?

We now know why he didn't
get on that plane.

Son of a bitch.

Brad Weston is a double agent.

You know, for a spook,
you're pretty easy to track.

Why are you here?
I meant what I said.

I'm not helping you.
Stay out of it.

I can't.

I need
what you have on Catalan.

Tim...

please.

I'm out of time.

Hannah, I don't want
to see you get hurt.

There are people that I love
that are in trouble.

I don't care
what happens to me.

I care what happens
to them.

Please.

Let me see what I can do.

Mr. President.
Ambassador Petrov.

Thank you, Wyatt.

Mr. Ambassador,
you played me today.

During the 10 years

that Mr. Weston
worked with the CIA,

he gained access
to case officers.

A clandestine treasure trove,
if you will.

Now it's yours.

Congratulations.

Russia is a free country,
Mr. President.

Perhaps Mr. Weston simply
chose to remain in Moscow.

When you've been at the game
of international chess

for more than a month,
you'll understand these things.

Well, I may have
been in over my head today,

but I promise you,
I'm a quick study.

And the one thing
that I do know about chess

is that there is nothing
more dangerous

than a pawn
that thinks it's a queen.

Take care, Mr. Ambassador.

Mr. President.

Hey.

Lisa: Hey.

Relax. You still have
19 hours left.

Yeah, I don't think
I need them.

Oh.
You have that comment for me?

No.
I have something else.

An exclusive.

Well, I've already got
an exclusive.

Yeah, I'm betting
you're gonna want this one.

- Why is that?
- It's not gossip.

I am not a gossip columnist,
Seth.

I'm building
a political profile of a man

this country is desperate
to know more about.

Your boss.

But it's good to know
that's how you see me.

Lisa,
that's not how I see you.

Look, you can publish
the piece on Leo.

I just don't think
you should.

President Kirkman
is a good man.

They're a great family.

He didn't ask for this job,
but now he's got it,

and everyone's gunning
for him.

And Leo's 17.

I don't think he deserves
to have his life

analyzed
on the front page.

So, what's the exclusive?

Inside information,
first-person account,

of how the president
negotiated for the release

of an American hero,

only to discover
he's not who he seems.

What do you have on Weston?

Let's make a deal,
and I'll tell you.

- Thank you, Wyatt.
- Of course, sir.

Emily: Oh, yeah. Thank you.

It's late.
Don't you two ever go home?

We'll go home when the next
president takes office.

Want to get a head start
on tomorrow's work?

Since you haven't been
sleeping much anyway.

Show me what you got.

After your morning
security briefing,

you'll be meeting
the director

of the National
Economic Council.

And?
What else?

MacLeish, sir.

What about him?

Well, sir, we've been thinking
since you two hit it off so well,

maybe we should
make it official.

The press is already speculating
he might be your vice president.

And with the congressional
elections coming up next week...

The country could use
some good news. Don't you think?

I've decided to wait to hear
what the FBI has to say.

If today's
taught me anything,

it's that you can't know
enough about a person.

Aaron, any news yet
from Deputy Director Atwood

on who
might have killed Nassar?

No, sir. I've been trying to get
ahold of him all afternoon.

His secretary said
he's been out of the office

on personal business.

Personal business?

During
a murder investigation?

- I'll keep on top of him, sir.
- Good.

The last thing we need
is the world

to find out that Nassar is dead
and we don't know who did it.

Presidential order.

Both of you, go home,
get some sleep.

Thanks for everything.

Thank you, sir.

Yeah?

What's up?

Ju... Just wanted
to say good night.

Okay.

What?

Why are you looking at me
like that?

I don't know.
It...

A lot's happened
in this last six weeks.

I feel like I haven't
seen you or talked to you.

Is everything all right?

Yeah. I...

I just wanted to tell you
that I love you.

Yeah.

I love you, too.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Man: Chow time.

Guess your guy
will have to wait.

Coach!

Have you seen my son?

Come on.

Jason, it's Hannah.
Call me back.

I know who killed Nassar.

Luke?!

Mr. Atwood.

I noticed your son
didn't show up for practice.

Have you seen him?

I can assure you,
Luke is fine.

In fact,
he's the only kid I know

who likes
coffee ice cream.

Where's my son?

Where is my son?

Deep breath, Jason.

Think it through.

Anything happens to me,
and the next photo you'll see

is Luke
with a bullet in his brain.

I know
you love your family,

and it would be a tragedy
if something happened to Luke...

or to Yvette...

sometime
after you buried your son.

You hurt my family,
I promise you.

I will kill you

and whoever the hell
you're working with.

Your son will be safe

as long as you do
everything I tell you to do,

starting with the obvious.

Tell anyone about
this encounter and Luke dies.

What do you want?

You're going to make an
appointment with the president.

And when you're face-to-face
with Kirkman,

you will do
exactly as I instruct.

I'll be in touch.
