Cyrus Beene.

Louder.

Cyrus Beene.

Full name.

Cyrus Rutherford Beene.

Arrested for?

Arrested for?

Assassinating the President.

Turn to your left.

Turn to the right.

Right thumb on the glass.

Other four fingers on the glass.

Left thumb on the glass.

Four fingers.

Remove your clothes, shoes first.

Remove your clothes.

Open your mouth.

Wider.

Put the pinkies in the corners.

Lift them up.

Pull them down.

Stick out your tongue.

More.

Lift the tongue.

Turn around.

Bend over.

Spread 'em.

Spread 'em.

Wider.

Sink. Toilet. Bed.

You shower every other day.

You're up at 6:00, inspection at 7:00.

Exercise, one hour at 3:00.

Prisoner in.

Dreams do come true.

You bet your ass they do!

I love this song!

- Okay. - We are dancing

because I am going to be

the President of the United States of America.

Me. Me!

- No. - Me!

Yes!

Excuse me a minute.

Really?

What is she doing in there?

None of your business.

She's dancing. It's nice.

Celebratory.

You know, I didn't know the leader of the free world

is supposed to twerk.

Stop watching.

Have a little respect.

She's not the leader of the free world, not yet.

What do you mean "not yet"? We won.

No, we did not win. We've won nothing.

We are not there until we are there.

Until Mellie gets up on that dais

lays her hand on that Bible, we are nowhere.

So just avert your eyes

and don't make me come out here again.

Am I clear?

Liv basically kicked us out of the office

for watching her grind with the next President,

so Charlie and I are gonna celebrate

with a drink at the Old Rail.

- Want to come? - I'm busy.

Busy? With what? We just won the election.

Take a night off.

I'm busy.

Come on, Meg. Introduce yourself.

Jenny, you're not gonna use this, right?

Introduce yourself!

- Yeah, right there. - Good, good, good.

Fine.

Meg Mitchell.

Campaign statistician.

And what rating would this campaign statistician

give to Frankie Vargas' birthday party?

10.

A solid 10.

Actually, a 9.

Docked a point for the campaign videographer

who kept nosing in to everyone's cake time.

- Marcus! Marcus! - Marcus!

Yeah, thank you.

Do you have a timetable for Cyrus Beene's prosecution?

The White House has been briefed,

but I'll refer your specific questions

to the Attorney General's Office.

Is it true the Attorney General's

gonna seek the death penalty?

Again, that's a question for the Department of Justice.

Tell me you're not seriously considering making this

a death penalty case against Cyrus.

Director Webster.

Ms. Whelan.

This is going to be a death penalty case, Abby.

You can't!

The evidence supports a conviction.

The law supports the death penalty.

You have discretion.

And I'm using it.

The American people need to see that he is being prosecuted

to the fullest extent possible

and that he pays the ultimate price.

This is no ordinary crime.

This is no ordinary man.

We agree on that.

This is Cyrus Beene,

the Vice President-Elect, the Chief of Staff.

Which is exactly why the American people

need to know that he's not above the law.

This isn't about the American people.

It's about the President.

This was his right-hand man.

The President is not going to allow him

to be publicly tried and executed!

What exactly are you saying?

I'm saying you're gonna need to change your plans here.

All due respect, Ms. Whelan,

the Chief of Staff doesn't make these decisions.

The President does.

With all due respect, Ms. Webster,

I speak for the President.

Right here, right now, I am the President.

And I'm telling you

this isn't a death penalty case anymore.

Do I have to make myself more clear?

Because I certainly can.

Do I?

No.

Time for your walk.

Up, up, up!

Helps if you count 'em while you walk...

The circles.

Let's go.

We're not going outside?

Feet on the line, hands through the slot.

I wonder what the Eighth Amendment

would have to say about this.

If you ask me, it's a clear violation...

Tom.

T... Tom!

Tom! Hey!

Quiet.

I need to talk to that man.

You're not talking to anyone.

Please, I'm begging you.

I'm not gonna hurt him.

I just... I...

He... He... He's the reason I'm in here, him and his lies.

If I can just...

I-I j-just need to sit down with him

and appeal to his human...

You see that door right there?

That's Gen Pop.

There's a lot of Frankie Vargas fans in there

who would love to make your acquaintance.

Now, either we can go back to your cell that way

or the way we came.

Which would you prefer?

I can't hear you.

The... The way we... came.

Good.

Now walk in your circle and keep your damn mouth shut.

Walk!

This better be good.

I need you to get a message to Cyrus.

Cyrus? I'm not talking to Cyrus.

- Are you crazy? - You work for him.

Incorrect.

I worked for him, back when he wasn't John Wilkes Booth.

He hasn't been convicted.

He's in jail.

Lots of innocent people are in jail.

I'm a Republican, Abby.

That argument doesn't work on me.

I need you to tell him

that he's not gonna get the death penalty.

What about my death penalty?

What about the fact that I can't get

a single United States senator to play squash with me

because of the 24 hours I spent fronting for that assassin?

What about the fact that I can't use my own name

to get a reservation at Le Diplomate?

I was told to check availability

on something called "OpenTable," Abby.

An app.

An app!

What are you offering?

- What? - What are you offering?

If you're offering me a job,

I'll consider getting him a message.

Well, get him the message, and... I'll see what I can do.

26.

I need entrance to prisoner cage.
