01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

[ominous music playing]

[journalists clamoring]

Evan Green has been released,
but he should never have been detained.

What was done to him on behalf
of the United States government

was unlawful, unethical, and inhumane.

George Mullen's overreach now threatens
to eclipse the very terrorism

it was entrusted to stop.

And are we any safer for it?
I don't think so.

Because inside this building,
my client was nowhere near safe.

[clamoring continues]

[camera shutters clicking]

I just want to go home.

[journalist 1] Are you gonna sue?

[clamoring continues]

[clamoring fades]

[gasps softly]

Oh, hey. [exhales]

I was just thinking about Nick trying to
do that stupid trick on his skateboard

from outside my office window in Albany.

He kept falling over and over,

and he just couldn't get it.
And then finally, he did.

And I was gonna go outside
and tell him, "Nice job, kid."

"Way to go. Keep at it."

But the phones were ringing or something.
We were working on the budget, I think.

I don't even remember.

And that was it. I never... had the
chance to say anything to him about it.

- Don't do this. Don't do it.
- I...

[pensive music playing]

[inhales] Yeah. Today, in front
of the Oversight Committee,

you can't hold back.

I don't want you defending me
or the commission.

I... [sighs]

I thought, whatever was happening,
I... I just could stay ahead of it.

Well, maybe I was wrong.

I think Roger knew that.

But he could never say no to me.

I just couldn't walk away again.
I just couldn't do that.

That would've just made things worse.

Why didn't you tell me
what you were going through?

[pensive music continues]

I don't know.

I don't know.

[siren wailing in the distance]

- [Mitchell] Mr. Speaker.
- [Richard] Madam President.

The Russians and the Chinese
are certainly having a field day.

Mullen's coming in day after tomorrow.

To resign, I hope.

Hasn't exactly been predictable,
but I would think so.

Sheila Mullen's testimony today
should guarantee it.

Quite the stunt.

If his own wife doesn't support him,

and if she still hopes
to be confirmed to the bench,

there's no way she can,

neither will the public.

Madam President, I'm not proud of this.

But even you have to admit

a mistake was made in choosing Mullen,
and it's not too late to correct it.

We need to reclaim
the commission's integrity.

In the right hands, it's still the best
and fastest way to find those responsible.

In your hands, you mean?

I have, once again, secured enough
bipartisan support to be named its head.

Mullen resigns on Monday.
I can be sworn in on Tuesday.

Or together, we can make an appeal
to call for its immediate dissolution.

Call it what it was,

an error born in the aftermath
of collective trauma.

With all due respect, Madam President,

you do not have the political capital

to put this genie back in the bottle.

The people want answers. I'm the
only one that can give them to 'em.

[sighs]

Says the man already running against me?

[pensive music playing]

[anchor] We received in
a written statement released today

shocking reports

that enhanced interrogation techniques
were used on television personality

Evan Green,

who likened his experience
to those of political prisoners,

tortured and humiliated
at CIA black sites.

These allegations against
the Zero Day commission

have been met
with international condemnation.

Evan Green himself remained unusually
silent following his release earlier...

[Melissa] Our work to find those
responsible for this attack continues.

As I said before,
Mullen remains head of the commission.

No, we have no comment on that.

[pensive music playing]

[knocks on door]

[Valerie] Any update
from the medical examiner?

The official cause of
death was drowning,

but he had heroin in his bloodstream,
which has a pretty short half-life.

He must have passed out in the tub
right after taking it.

What's the status of the detainees?

All released,

though three were charged with crimes
unrelated to the terror attack.

Uh, identity fraud,

cryptojacking,

data theft.

You hear from the boss?

Nope.

If nothing else,
deterrence worked, right?

Hasn't been another attack.

[chuckles softly, scoffs]

[camera shutters clicking]

[faint indistinct chatter]

[Richard] Do you solemnly swear
that the testimony you're about to give

will be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

so help you God?

I do.

[lock beeps]

[pensive music playing]

- Morning, sir.
- [George] Morning.

Autopsy report, sir.

[pensive music continues]

[Carl] It's moot at this point,

but in reexamining the photos
that Roger provided the commission,

our experts are now saying
they're deep fakes,

the most technically sophisticated
they've ever encountered,

but fakes, nonetheless.

Anyone could have fallen for it.

- [indistinct distorted chatter]
- [dramatic whooshing]

[pensive music continues]

- [Carl] Sir?
- Give me a minute.

[keyboards clacking]

Hi, everyone.

Nothing has changed, all right?

This is still an active investigation,
and your responsibility, as always,

has been to the American people,
not to me.

Our country was attacked,

and whoever did this
has threatened to do so again.

It's your job, it's your duty
to keep that from happening.

Thank you.

[faint indistinct chatter]

Sir, it's starting.

Okay.

Is it your opinion that the suspension
of civil liberties is constitutional?

It's not without precedent.

During the Civil w*r,
Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus

with Proclamation 104,
and more recently, FDR did it

with EO 9066 during World w*r II.

Both presidents were in office
at the time, and as you stated,

both were in the middle of a w*r.

I think you'd agree the definition of
w*r has expanded quite a bit since then.

After 9/11,
the w*r on Terror was proclaimed.

The Patriot Act was passed.

Good, bad, or otherwise,
many of its provisions remain law today.

Do you support the Patriot Act?

The job of a judge
is to interpret the law,

not support or oppose it.

t*rture is prohibited by Section 2340A,
Title 18 of the United States Code.

Did you have a question,
or was that just for my own edification?

Ma'am, did your husband break the law?

I can only surmise you're referring
to allegations being made in the press

and not yet proven in court.

t*rture is ill*gal.

Of course, if memory serves,

you voted against the law to ban
enhanced interrogation techniques,

you didn't speak out when the NSA
was conducting warrantless surveillance,

and you voted to expand
the authority of military commissions

to hold detainees at Gitmo forever.

So, whatever the commission
is alleged to have done,

it sounds rather consistent
with your own past record,

Mr. Speaker.

[clears throat] How would you describe
your husband's state of mind?

[pensive music playing]

Sound.

How sound?

Given what's happened to this country

and what we've done to ourselves,
how sound is yours?

[faint indistinct chatter]

[man] Are you comfortable with the level
of power President Mullen has been given?

[Sheila] Key word is "given."

He neither asked for
nor wanted this appointment.

Fine, then should he have accepted it?

Well, the Founding Fathers never
intended anyone to have the sort of power

Congress bestowed on my husband,

and the burden of that responsibility
is his alone to bear.

But I would suggest that the members
of this Oversight Committee,

all of whom voted in favor of
the commission and its expansive powers,

take a hard look
at themselves in the mirror.

I may be George Mullen's wife,

but it's all of you
who are his partners in this endeavor.

[Richard] The House Oversight Committee
would like to declare a ten-minute recess.

Thank you.

Beltway types are weighing in.
I'm seeing some criticisms,

but mostly positive.

Principled stances,
knows her stuff, formidable and feisty.

I think she's coming off well.

Guys, can we have a sec?

[sirens wailing in the distance]

[door opens]

I do wonder if it's wise for you
to go to this funeral tomorrow,

in such a public setting,
with the possibility of...

- Proteus.
- We could secure the perimeter, but...

Look, whoever they are
and whatever they're trying to do,

they've done it already.

I'm not gonna miss the funeral.

[inhales]

I came into this with Roger.
It's only fitting I go out with him too.

[birds chirping]

[melancholy music playing]

[faint indistinct chatter]

[melancholy music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] They shall grow not old

As we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them

Nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun
And in the morning

We will remember them

But where our desires are
And our hopes profound

Felt as a wellspring
That is a well-hidden sight

[echoing] To the innermost heart
Of their own land

[inaudible]

Moving in marches
upon the heavenly plain

[inaudible]

[man] Moving in marches
Upon the heavenly plain

As the stars that are
starry in the time...

- You all right?
- [man] ...our darkness

You okay?

[man] To the end, to the end

They remain

Why don't you come by the house?
Spend some time with us?

Just for a little while, though.
Okay? I don't...

[faint indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

What is he doing?

[melancholy music continues]

[inhales shakily]

[sighs]

[melancholy music continues]

- [melancholy music continues]
- [wind whooshing]

[wind continues whooshing]

[footsteps approaching]

[music fades]

[inhales shakily] Why did you ask
to see him at the cemetery?

Because I didn't ask
to see your brother when he passed.

I always wished I had, and I didn't want
to make the same mistake with Roger.

I didn't want to regret that.

But you didn't cry either
at... at Nick's funeral.

It was hard not to,
but with everything going on,

with the press and everything,
it just, you know...

It just didn't feel like the right thing
to do, that I had a choice.

They were all choices.

And none were easy.

But you were right.
I signed up for this.

All of it.

Uh, to be judged, to be misjudged
because I believed in this work.

I believed in what I'm doing.

And you like the applause.

- I don't...
- Oh, you don't like the applause?

- You don't like the crowd?
- Come on.

The prophet is never without honor
except in his own home.

Right. And you're still the prophet.

I know you paid a price for
my decisions. You all have.

Your mother...

Your brother, losing him... [scoffs]

[breathes deeply]

...to drugs.

Suicide.

- He committed suicide. That is...
- No, he didn't.

You don't know that.
None of us do. He OD'd.

You may think he k*lled himself,
but that, there's no proof of that.

- And I didn't see anything.
- No sh*t, you didn't see anything.

Well, I didn't,
and neither did your mother.

I tried my best.

I tried to do it better with Roger.

I know you loved
him, for a time at least.

Longer than you think.

I'm sorry I disappointed you.
In a lot of ways, I'm sorry.

I'd list them all, but I'd probably
make it worse by leaving out something.

[phone vibrating]

Twenty-four days in, and we still
don't know who's behind all this.

You should have just stayed here.

You should've stayed here
and finished your memoir.

I did tell you to do that.
I said this was a mistake.

[Alex inhales]

- You did.
- Yeah, I did.

I just wish that, for once,
you would have listened to me.

[birds chirping]

[crickets chirping]

[ominous music playing]

[ominous music continues]

[envelope rustling]

[ominous music continues]

[ominous music continues]

[music fades]

[Valerie] "I just wanted you to know."

That's it.
That's his only personal comment.

And he left it there so I could find it.

It's a confession and a leg up.

Those offshore deposits that were found.
Most likely from his client, Bob Lyndon.

The hedge fund guy.

And frequent Evan Green target.

Yeah, Lyndon supplied the photos.
Roger passed them on to us.

[Valerie] To shut Green up?

[Carl] Or f*ck us up.

[George] Might've been
a little bit of both.

He started transcribing the traffic
on a long-range AM radio.

Apparently, Lyndon had one on his boat.

[Carl] And the Reapers at their farm.

Only way to avoid the government's
pervasive surveillance of digital comms

is to go full analog.

Well, most of what he heard was in code.

But he recognized a phrase
that Lyndon had said to him once.

[Valerie] "People are always looking
for constellations in the stars."

Lyndon is Tyron44.

Call him whatever you want.

With Lyndon's resources, he's a ghost.

Battery's already in.

What was the frequency
Roger was listening on?



[radio static buzzing]

[Tim] There.

[static continues buzzing]

[pensive music playing]

[man] Delta 3-5-1.

Red Rooster. Golf Zulu.

Confirm.

[George] Roger listened to dozens
of voices on this channel.

Lyndon may be part of Zero Day,
but not the only part.

And my guess, nowhere near the biggest.

And whatever they're talking about,
we need to break the code.

I'll bring in a cryptologist.
Let's find some more long-range radios.

Okay. Nobody goes home tonight.

[pensive music continues]

[man] Delta 3-5-1. Golf Zulu. Confirm.
[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter continues]

- [electronic chiming]
- [keyboard clacking]

[electronic chime]

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter continues]

[keyboard clacking]

[keyboard continues clacking]

[electronic chiming]

[scoffs] Holy sh*t.

Look, they scrambled the alphabet before
they started moving the letters forward.

Transcript from the first day
of the Homestead attack.

Xray Victor Oscar Foxtrot equals bank.

And after midnight,
it's Yankee Whiskey Papa Golf.

One-digit rotation
after every day that passes.

A phonetic alphabet gets us location.

Numbers get us dates and times.

And the rest?

Uh, small talk, lots of it.

But it's definitely them.

We got 'em.

[dramatic music playing]

[sirens wailing in the distance]

[helicopter blades whirring]

You got everything?

Hard copy, laptop if you'd rather.

How're you feeling?

Never f*cking better.

[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[George] A major breakthrough.

Last night, we were able to gain access
to a communications system

used by the Zero Day conspirators.

[Valerie] As you'll see in the report,

these conspirators had knowledge
of the American Homestead hack

before it was made public,

an attack they term
a copycat version of their own.

They also referenced a setback
at a set of coordinates

that matches the location
of the Reaper farm we raided.

Where, incidentally,
we also found a long-range radio.

Have you identified
any of the people speaking?

We know Robert Lyndon was involved,
but, unfortunately, he's disappeared.

He was just one part of it, but we're
about to break the whole thing open.

[sighs] Look.

I'm not going to deny
the significance of these findings,

but after all that's happened,

significant doesn't cut it.
We need decisive.

[sighs]

The expectation on the Hill,
which I've all but promised to fulfill,

is that I will have
your resignation by end of day,

with Speaker Dreyer being sworn in
as head of the commission

by this time tomorrow.

That all said, I wouldn't be sitting
here if I gave a damn about expectations.

If you really are getting close,

whoever we're up against
is only going to fight back harder.

Nail this down, George, quickly.

Madam President.

- [Alex] Hello.
- [Richard] Your father's not quitting.

And for some reason,
Mitchell's giving him another 24 hours.

Um, right. Okay.

[Carl] Talk to me.

Every call sign, the other call signs
they've communicated with,

how often, and when.

[Kim] Red Rooster does a lot of talking.

Regularly scheduled contact
with Blue Hawk, which Rooster generates.

[Carl] Underling reporting
to his superior.

Stay of execution, but it's temporary.

Dreyer takes over at midday tomorrow.

[Red Rooster] Reporting to Blue Hawk.
Confirm Red Rooster.

He's prompt, I'll give him that.

[Red Rooster] Hotel Alpha
Bravo Bravo Golf...

- Dobbs, you getting this?
- [Riley] Yeah, putting it up now.

[Blue Hawk] Confirm Blue Hawk.
No change. Golf Echo India. [indistinct]

[Red Rooster] India
Whiskey Whiskey India

November November Lima India

Hotel Hotel Tango.

[scoffs] Quit?

[Blue Hawk] Unclear.

Any idea who Emmett Kelly is?

Yeah, a sad clown, famous in the '40s.

They're talking about me.

[dramatic music continues]

- [man] Miss Whitesell? It's her again.
- Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hello?

[Alex] Jesus, did I ask for you?

Listen, I have left several messages.
I need to speak with him.

We're at a crucial point
in the investigation...

Okay, well,
then you need to brief me on it

because the committee
hasn't heard sh*t from you guys

since you started torturing people.

Is that why you're calling,
on behalf of the Oversight Committee?

Maybe. Or maybe
I'm just concerned about my dad.

Or maybe it's none
of your g*dd*mn business, Valerie.

Look, he's spiraling, okay?

He's grasping at straws
to spare his own ego.

No, he's not, Alexandra.

God, you're encouraging him,
aren't you? [sighs]

Of course, it must be a dream come true,

the two of you,
a little team fighting crime together.

How f*cking romantic.

Okay, you tell him this.

He either needs to quit before he
does any more damage to himself

and the commission,

or he needs to brief the committee
on the lead he's following.

I will let him know you called.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

[pensive music playing]

[radio static buzzing]

[Carl] Mr. President. Valerie.

All the voices on this channel
are disguised.

We have a modulator,
so we think we can pose as Lyndon

to set a rendezvous
with one of the other conspirators.

How do we know Lyndon's
not gonna be on there?

Well, Lyndon's gone dark,

so it might be a good time
to take that chance.

[Carl] Sir.

Tell me when.

And go.

Reporting to Blue Hawk.

Confirm Tyron44.

- [pensive music continues]
- [radio static buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

[Blue Hawk] Confirm Blue Hawk.
Echo Golf Kilo.

- Lima Roger Lima. There may be an issue.
- [radio static buzzing]

[Blue Hawk] Come again?

My guy left a mess
that needs to be cleaned.

Documents,
stuff we don't want lying around.

[Blue Hawk] Your guy? Gekko?

The "Greed is good"
guy from Wall Street.

- It has to be Roger.
- [Carl] Yes.

Yes, Gekko.

[Blue Hawk] Sounds like your problem.

f*ck you, "my problem."
My problem is your problem.

Fix it.

[buzzing continues]

[Blue Hawk] Location?

- [Carl] To your right, sir.
- [George sighs]

Two-Zero-Zero Charlie Xray Lima

Oscar Juliet

Yankee Bravo Charlie Xray

Victor Uniform Hotel.

[buzzing continues]

[Blue Hawk] Blue Hawk. Copy.

Get a team over to Roger's apartment.
Let's get this son of a b*tch.

[Carl] Yes, sir.

[dramatic music playing]

- [dramatic whoosh]
- [sirens wailing]

[vacuum whirring]

- [George] Time?
- They're late.

Two hours till Dreyer's sworn in.

You don't think
he'd pick up the torch on this?

Maybe, but it's my torch.

And Roger might have died for it.

We've got someone.

[dramatic music continues]

That's gotta be him.

Yep, 54th floor.

[dramatic music continues]

All right, that's a clear shot.

- Run him through the system.
- [Riley] On it.

[keyboard clacking]

[electronic whirring]

- And facial recognition just hit.
- Let me get in here.

Blake Felton.

Multiple addresses.
Long history in the tech sector.

NetRespective. Rodbell Technology.

- I've never heard of any of these.
- Wait, hold on. I know that company.

Monica acquired NetRespective
a few years ago

and then absorbed it into Panoply.

So he works for Kidder.

[dramatic music continues]

Bring this guy in.

[cop 1] Hands up! Don't move!

- Don't move!
- [Blake] Okay.

I won't. I'm sorry. I'm getting down.

We should have enough
for a search warrant on Kidder.

Yeah, we don't have much time.

And I want you on the ground, Carl.

- This time, we do it by the book.
- Yes, sir.

[dramatic music continues]

- [dramatic music continues]
- [horns honking]

[tires screech]

[dramatic music continues]

Carl Otieno, Zero Day Commission.

We have a search warrant.

Private property, sir.

[Carl] You'll save yourself the trouble
of an arrest by just cooperating with us.

- [man 1] Afraid you can't do that.
- Ask him if Kidder knows.

Has your employee
been notified of our presence?

She knows you're here.

Then open the gate.

[Monica] Is the feed up yet?

[man 2] Yes, ma'am.

[Monica] Get them on the line.

[keyboard clacking]

Zulu 7-3-0-1, Athena, confirm.

The whole world already thinks
Mullen's a fascist?

Zulu 7-3-0-1, Athena, come in.

Let's let 'em see it.

[Carl] You're aware
we don't actually need this warrant.

We'll come in by force if we have to.

It's up to you if you open that gate
and bring Kidder out.

- Take a look at this.
- [Carl] We can handle this peacefully.

[Tim] Kidder's live-streaming
on multiple platforms.

What's she saying?

[Tim] Stand by.

America, what you are about to see
is an act of desperation.

But George Mullen
isn't just a desperate man.

He is a dangerous one.

Now, I'm no fan of Evan Green,

but let's be clear.
What happened to him was criminal.

I've got the resources to resist,
but what if it happens to you?

You cannot let it.

Call your senators.

Call your congresspeople
before they come to where you live

with their g*ns drawn
and their jackbooted th*gs

ready to storm your property...

[Valerie] What is she doing?

Daring me to go Waco on her
while the world watches.

- [Kim] Networks are picking it up.
- ...when you see this, it is not right.

But it is also not normal.

There have been rumors
of George Mullen's mental health issues

that may have played a part in his
decision not to seek a second term.

I get it. His son died.
He was depressed.

But from what I have seen recently,

I think it is clear
that something else was going on.

[dramatic music playing]

Have them put Kidder
on the phone with you.

- [Monica] Anything?
- Not yet.

- [Monica] What about the backup comms?
- [man 2] Front gate called.

- Guy from commission wants to talk to you.
- Nothing on backup comms either.

These assholes have to know
what's going on.

[breathing heavily]

They're cutting me loose.

[tablet ringing]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[tablet continues ringing]

Miss Kidder, my name is Carl Otieno.

I'm speaking with you on behalf
of the Zero Day Commission.

We have a lawful warrant,

and we're asking again
for you to grant us...

- It's like literally no one's there.
- [Monica] Give me the radio.

I know you can hear me.

You m*therf*ckers, I
know you can hear me.

[breathing heavily]

Pick up the g*dd*mn radio.

- [radio static buzzes]
- [continues breathing heavily]

I'm willing to talk. But only to
Mullen and Valerie Whitesell.

Excuse me?

[Monica] Just the three of us.
No one in the room. No recording.

Trust me, they'll want it that way too.

- [line ends]
- [exhales]

Y'all hearing this?

[pensive music playing]

[phone beeping]

[George] Miss Kidder, George Mullen.

[Monica] Yes.

I would advise you
to cooperate with the federal agents

surrounding your compound.

Give me guaranteed immunity first.

We have Blake Felton in custody.
Calls himself Leon.

Why would I give you immunity?

Well, there is a lot
that Leon doesn't know, sir.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

[pensive music continues]

I am not going to prison.

You need to be held accountable
for the things that you've done.

What about the things you've done?

Any accountability for that?

Is she there? Valerie?

Yes, I'm here.

Hello, Valerie.

I'm sure you're aware
that I own dozens of apps,

but you might not realize
that one of them is Kindred,

a DNA-based genealogy search engine.

We recently had a fascinating submission

from your daughter, Lily.

[inhales] Seems she's interested
in her family tree.

God. Imagine being


that George Mullen
has been a part of it this entire time.

Just nobody mentioned it.

But really, what I wonder about is

what will the country think

when they find out
that everybody's favorite president

fathered a love child while in office
and then lied about it?

[Monica sighs deeply]

Your credibility's already shot, Mullen.
But this?

Give me guaranteed immunity.

No one will ever know, not even Lily.

Think about it.

[breathes deeply]

Oh f*ck. She's gonna think
I've been lying to her her whole life.

I've been lying to her her whole life.

- I never asked you to say anything.
- I know you didn't.

I did it. I took responsibility.

[exhales deeply] Because I wanted her
to have a normal life.

[George] Valerie, don't...

I shouldn't have come back here to you.

This is, you know...
I... I forgot the... the cost of this.

What's going on?

They still on?

Call's over,
but Mullen and Valerie haven't come out.

Then what are we... doing?

[inhales]

[g*nshots]

Shots fired! Shots fired!

[tense music playing]

- What the hell?
- Who fired?

[man 1] I don't know. It wasn't us.

- Anybody got eyes on the sh**ter?
- [cop] Negative.

Are they coming in?
Don't let them through.

[man 1] Yes, sir. Engaging.

[man 2] No!

Don't engage. Stop firing.

[g*nshots continue]

[indistinct chatter]

[g*nshots continue]

[tense music continues]

The rooftop! The rooftop!

- [g*nshots continue]
- [indistinct yelling]

[grunts]

[indistinct chatter over radio]

[George] Somebody help him!

[g*nshots continue]

[indistinct yells]

[tense music continues]

[indistinct yells]

[smoke grenade hissing]

- [indistinct yells]
- [cop 1] Hands! Hands up!

[cop 2] Let me see your hands right now!

[cop 1] Hands! Hands up!

- [cop 2] On your knees! Hands!
- [cop 3] Don't move!

[tense music continues]

[anchor] Here we can see a shootout

between the Zero Day Commission's federal
agents and Kidder's security team.

Multiple fatalities reported,

and a number of individuals
suffered injuries,

with one member of the commission
in critical but stable condition.

Our sources remain unclear
on the reasoning

behind the commission's
attempted siege on Kidder's property,

but we can only surmise
that the commission

must have finally made
an investigatory breakthrough,

one that seems to have led them
straight to Monica Kidder.

[George] Earlier today, in our execution
of a search warrant at a property

owned by tech giant Panoply,

commission agents found evidence,

including signature code,
directly linking its CEO, Monica Kidder,

to the malware attack that in
one minute took over 3,400 lives,

hurt and disrupted thousands of others,

and brought our country to its knees.

As of this moment, we have
as many questions as we do answers

about Kidder, her
motives, and the details

of how she planned
and perpetrated this attack.

There is still much work to be done,

but we know one thing.

The American people are safer tonight.

I'll let our communications director,
Melissa Kornblau, fill you in on the rest.

Thank you.

[clamoring]

[Melissa] Thank you, President Mullen.

Monica Kidder's arrest today
was a landmark achievement

for the Zero Day Commission.

Now, we are still in the dark
as to her exact motives,

but the evidence is clear.

The malware used in the Zero Day attack
was acquired and deployed

by Monica Kidder,

which places her and
her company, Panoply,

at the center
of our ongoing investigation.

[phone vibrating]

[Jeremy] Yes.

Agreed.

I'm going to New York.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

Carl's in recovery.

He has to be in the ICU for a few days
but they say the surgery went well,

and he's gonna be okay.

Good. Glad to hear that.

I don't think it stops with her, Kidder.

At the house, it's like she was
waiting for someone to come save her.

And... And what about Proteus?

If she's using it on me, where is it?

We did a full sweep on the compound,
her offices, there was nothing. Nothing.

Honestly, we don't
even know if it exists.

It's been an exhausting 48 hours.
I think you should get some rest.

Just make arrangements for me to talk
to Kidder myself first thing tomorrow.

Okay.

Valerie.

After this is all over, really over,

I want to meet her.

Lily.

[gentle music playing]

Sure.

[music fades]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Richard] Excuse me.

[indistinct chatter]

[Alex] I need to see you. He's...

- Not on the phone.
- You need to call this off.

Okay, this was a mistake.
All of it, I need you to call it off.

Not on the phone, Alex.

I said call it off.

If you want to discuss
this, you know how.

[pensive music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[radio static buzzing]

[anchor] In a press conference
earlier tonight,

President Mullen announced that
the commission has uncovered evidence

directly linking Kidder to the malware
that enabled the Zero Day attack.

Mullen did not offer any speculation
as to Kidder's potential motives.

Which leads you to wonder,

why would this wildly
accomplished businesswoman

make such a horrific attack

against the country
that's brought her such success?

Many are now speculating that
the attack could have been a reaction

to the Federal Trade Commission's
recent targeting of Panoply

in an antitrust investigation.

[dramatic music continues]

Wasn't sure if you'd be
coming home tonight.

I guess I'll know more
when I can talk to Kidder.

It's amazing how powerful
these tech types have become.

Yeah, well, I would have guessed she was
too smart to take this kind of a gamble.

Yeah.

- You hungry?
- Yeah.

[sighs]

I... I didn't get to tell you,
but I saw your testimony.

You were terrific.

I'm so proud of you.

But I'm not surprised. I'm sure
you'll get the nod when the time comes.

I'm lucky to have you.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

[Valerie] We got a problem.

When did you check on her last?

- A few hours ago.
- And the cameras?

[man] Looks like
somebody looped the feed.
