Designated Survivor

Previously on "Designated Survivor"...

I would like my daughter to see a woman

- become vice president. - Thank you, sir.

The House Ethics Committee

they are opening an investigation into the Speaker.

Tyler: My dad was a great president.

Tyler, I am sorry for your incredible loss.

Ritter: Lozano is alive, sir.

The man the FBI killed was a decoy.

Jay Whitaker, Homeland Security Adviser.

Lozano was a total soldier.

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

Me too.

We've known that someone in the White House

made Kirkman designated survivor.

This person may still be active.

Hey, Jason. I need your help.

Jason: What do you need?

Patrick Lloyd.

Whitaker: How'd it go?

Clockwork.

We're back on track.

I'm glad we had a chance to dig in on this.

Whitaker: Me, too.

If we can expedite TSA screenings

without sacrificing security,

it's money well-spent.

And the president is all about

making people's lives easier.

Perhaps we can put this on his radar

after the NATO summit?

In the meantime, you'll get me that data?

- Consider it done. - Great.

Alex: So, here's something I didn't know

when I came to the White House.

George Washington ran America's first spy ring

during the Revolutionary War.

His agents relayed British troop movements.

And they didn't even have cellphones.

He doesn't look very happy.

Tom: Well, you probably wouldn't want to smile either

if you had wooden teeth.

- Mr. President! - It's the President!

I heard that we had some very special guests

here in the White House today.

Alex: Including President Richmond's son.

Tyler, really good to see you again.

Same here, Mr. President.

Allow me to introduce the Student Orchestra

of Robert Richmond High School in New Orleans.

It is an honor to meet all of you,

and I heard a rumor

that we're gonna get to hear you perform

- later this afternoon. - I heard that rumor, too.

Can't wait to hear it.

And if there's anything you need,

please don't hesitate to ask.

Yes?

Can I take a picture with you?

It would be my pleasure.

Come on.

Alex:

Thank you for doing this, Mr. President.

Are you kidding?

With Leo and Penny up in Camp David,

well, it's nice to have young people

in the White House again.

It's great to see you sharing your passion for music

with these students.

Oh, well, I can't take credit.

This group is actually part of a national program

that funds the arts in public schools.

Oh, that's wonderful.

And, unfortunately,

it, um, might all come to an end.

You see, when the funding was approved,

Congress put in a sunset clause,

so the grant has to be renewed every five years.

- When's it expire? - Next month.

Oh.

So, this might be the end of playing music

for a lot of these kids,

and, you know, most of their families

can't afford private lessons.

Mine couldn't either.

I played trumpet in my elementary school band.

Oh, I didn't know you played.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call it playing.

In fact, it was pretty awful.

But it was the experience that mattered.

That... I-I... Couldn't agree more.

Music shaped my whole life.

Leo's all about it, too.

But I have to admit,

I don't think I can get into dubstep.

Hey, you never know.

My dad introduced me to Brahms,

I got him hooked on Radiohead.

I promise you. I will look into the grant.

Thank you, sir.

I know this is small stuff

compared to everything else you've got going on...

No, no, it's not small stuff.

I think every student in this country

should have access to the arts for their education.

It'll be an honor to help.

- I'll see you at the concert? - I can't wait.

I went through all of her files.

Most of them have to do with Browning Reed.

Maybe she's out in the field

and had to go radio silent.

Foerstel: Yeah, maybe.

Look, you know,

I know Wells isn't exactly by-the-book, right?

But, if she working something, she would've let me know.

What about Jason Atwood?

I mean, she did bring him to North Dakota with her, right?

- Maybe... maybe he's talked to her. - I already tried.

He doesn't know anything.

Besides, Hannah told me she sidelined him anyway.

Where's she staying?

This is her.

Let's check her room.

Ritter: Excuse me, ma'am?

Secret Service.

Would you open this door, please?

Anything?

No.

She's gone.

Ritter: Let's check the security cameras.

Emily: Sorry.

Hey, eyes on the road!

Sorry, Hookstraten's Ethics Committee hearing's

about to start.

Well, at least I know

what the press is gonna ask me about

in today's briefing.

Everybody loves an ethics scandal,

especially given the V.P. rumors.

The V.P. rumors are just that, Seth.

- Rumors. - This is Washington.

Things have a tricky way of becoming reality.

Let's just see how this hearing goes.

Hey! You didn't say anything about my haircut.

Yeah, it looks good.

You didn't even notice.

I mean, it looks the same?

It always looks great.

What is... what?

I got it for the trip.

Wow, I didn't realize you were so excited

- for a NATO summit. - No, not for NATO.

I figure I'll be taking a lot of pictures

on Air Force One.

Oh.

Um, you've been on a... A plane before, right?

Ooh, not this one.

Oh, my God.

Yoshida: What my colleagues and I are here to determine

is whether or not there was any quid pro quo involved

between your trip to Turkey

and your subsequent co-sponsorship

of the military aid bill to that country.

Hookstraten: I appreciate your candor, Congresswoman,

so I can categorically deny

that there was any connection between the two events.

The trip was about agricultural methods.

Period.

Did anyone from the Turkish military or government

contact you during your time in Turkey

to discuss military aid of any nature?

No, they did not.

So, it's just a coincidence

that everyone who went on that trip with you

later voted in favor of the military aid package?

Congressman Saldua,

279 other members of Congress

also supported that bill, sir.

And, by your question,

you are not only impugning my integrity

but also that of my colleagues

who are no longer here to defend themselves.

That wasn't my intent, Madame Speaker.

If I may?

All of you are new to Congress,

but one thing we have in common

is the oath we took to uphold the Constitution.

I've always done my best to live up to that oath.

There may be little hard evidence here

for you to investigate,

but there is a lifetime of public service to consider.

And that's what's at stake here.

And that's also my best defense...

My record and my reputation.

When it comes time to vote...

I hope you will vote on that.

Of course they only have one working camera.

Ritter: There's Wells.

The hell?

Damn it.
