87. Now, you will thank me one day.Copy !req
88. And even if you don't,

89. Unlike you, they might just be gratefulCopy !req
90. for that Bradford name.Copy !req
91. You look nice. Grown up.Copy !req
92. And you look like you're pretending

101. - Get your jacket, come on.
- It's okay, James.Copy !req
102. Um, it's a crazy day today at the tower.Copy !req
103. I gotta get moving myself.Copy !req
104. - You gotta be more careful, Carl.
- Come on!Copy !req
105. The no pets rule is pretty clear.Copy !req
106. I know. Uh, I know. I just, um...Copy !req
107. Come on! Bring it back. Come on!Copy !req
108. Look how much they
love each other.Copy !req
109. Expecting a 10-year-old
to keep your secretCopy !req
110. is a real leap of faith.Copy !req
111. That street lamp they're working on?Copy !req
112. That light was not out last night.Copy !req
113. How easy would it be for them
to put a camera in there?Copy !req
114. Come on, Xavier, that's a little paranoid,
isn't it?Copy !req
115. Is it?Copy !req
116. Just be more careful.Copy !req
117. You're right. I will be.Copy !req
118. I owe you, Xavier. Anything you ever need.Copy !req
119. You know, cut your lawn, trim your hedges,Copy !req
120. sourdough starter for life,Copy !req

122. Thanks, Carl.Copy !req
123. - Tower?Copy !req

126. This isn't
spring break. We need somber.Copy !req
127. Copy that.Copy !req
128. Uh, let's try this one.Copy !req
129. There you go.Copy !req
130. - Thank you.
- Tower out.Copy !req
131. When I was little, my dad would alwaysCopy !req
132. invite me into his office
at the end of the day to—Copy !req
133. to, uh, to play a little golf.Copy !req
134. Turned out, much to his chagrin,Copy !req
135. I, uh, I wasn't exactly
the next Tiger Woods.Copy !req
136. Um...Copy !req
137. He used to say
putting was his happy place,Copy !req
138. that his head would clear,
and that all the stressCopy !req
139. and the pressure would just fade away.Copy !req
140. And I'm sure he needed golf
down here more than ever.Copy !req
141. I mean, you know, let's face it,
he was, uh...Copy !req
142. he was unraveling those last few weeks.Copy !req
143. You know, some of you
might have even seen himCopy !req
144. running around in his bathrobe.Copy !req
145. Yeah, those, um...Copy !req
146. Those last days were rough.Copy !req
147. My dude, I got Rocky III queued up,Copy !req
148. not to mention some popcorn
and some bourbon.Copy !req
149. You in?Copy !req
150. Little Clubber Lang, some Mr. T?Copy !req
151. We can skip right to Eye of the Tiger.
It's the best.Copy !req
152. The hero at his lowest point
gets his shit togetherCopy !req
153. and he kicks in some balls,
you'll love it.Copy !req
154. - What do you say?
- I'd say your taste in moviesCopy !req
155. is as dated as your taste in music.Copy !req
156. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
save it for my biography.Copy !req
157. Come on.Copy !req
158. Watch a classic with your old man.Copy !req
159. That biography, that—Copy !req
160. that pretty much writes itself, no?Copy !req
161. Part one, an alcoholic
daddy's boy wakes up at age 42Copy !req
162. and decides he wants to be president.Copy !req
163. Okay, spare me the whole righteous teenage
shtick, will you?Copy !req
164. Part two, following the collapse
of civilization, he, uh,Copy !req
165. he hunkers down in his mansionCopy !req
166. playing Pebble Beach in a golf simulatorCopy !req
167. while a bunch of gazillionaires
stick their hands up his assCopy !req
168. - to make his mouth move.
- Jeremy.Copy !req
169. Get off me!Copy !req
170. Ah, keep your friggin' hands
to yourself, Junior!Copy !req
171. Hey!Copy !req
172. - What's going on? Dad.
- It's just—Copy !req
173. I was just trying to get—Copy !req
174. - Okay, alright, it's alright.
- I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
175. We got an alert he'd left the guest house.Copy !req
176. - We found him at the neighbors.
- Okay, I wanna go to my study!Copy !req
177. - He will not let me go to my study!
- Okay, alright.Copy !req
178. It's my study, Dad.
You live in the guest house, remember?Copy !req
179. - How did he get out?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
180. Grandpa, I'll— I'll show you
to the study, yeah?Copy !req
181. - I just wanna get my book.
- Okay.Copy !req
182. Sniper here won't let me go to my study.Copy !req
183. Son of a bitch.Copy !req
184. It's probably time we start thinking aboutCopy !req
185. - putting a child lock—
- No, no, no. Not yet, man.Copy !req
186. - Just thought if we—
- Not yet.Copy !req
187. Yes, sir.Copy !req
188. No, Jeremy. My name's Jeremy.Copy !req
189. - Not Cal.
- Huh.Copy !req
190. That's what Cal named his boy. "Jeremy."Copy !req
191. Such a limp, ineffectual name.Copy !req
192. That— That's a kind of name for a fop,Copy !req
193. a fool, or a physicist.Copy !req
194. Not according to Pearl Jam, Dad.Copy !req
195. Ah, that's where I put it.Copy !req
196. Okay, Dad, you can't
leave the grounds.Copy !req
197. Are you listening?
Without telling someone.Copy !req
198. Eh, you were always weak.Copy !req
199. That's why the sniper had to do it.Copy !req
200. Why do you keep calling
him that? It's Agent Pace.Copy !req
201. And these agents aren't your babysitters,
you understand?Copy !req
202. You thought they were all
lost at sea, those four.Copy !req
203. And they did it
right under your nose, too.Copy !req
204. You— You know, you wereCopy !req
205. never the sharpest tool in the shed, kid.Copy !req
206. Okay, why don't we get you
back to your place?Copy !req
207. Ah, ah, ah, ah!Copy !req
208. Not my president.Copy !req
209. - Not mine either.
- Hey, don't be like that.Copy !req
210. Hey!Copy !req
211. I don't know what I did to piss you off.Copy !req
212. You never stood up. You never fought back.Copy !req
213. You knew what was coming
and you kept it to yourself.Copy !req
214. That makes you complicit.Copy !req
215. Okay.Copy !req
216. You know, I-I-I really—
I can't wait to seeCopy !req
217. how you hide from yourself
when the liquor finally runs out.Copy !req
218. I wish you'd died
with the rest of the world.Copy !req
219. Yeah.Copy !req
220. Yeah, the man loved his golf.Copy !req
221. Hey there, Collins-es.Copy !req
222. Jane.Copy !req
223. Have you seen Billy today?
He hasn't answered my texts.Copy !req
224. Oh.Copy !req
225. Weird, I've been trying
to get ahold of him, too.Copy !req
226. Hey, Pres, can you take James
to Carl's, please?Copy !req
227. - Come on, Booger.
- Takes one to know one.Copy !req
228. You're still a booger.Copy !req
229. Something's not right.
Let's go find Billy.Copy !req
230. Collins.Copy !req
231. Can we have a quick word?Copy !req
232. It's about Cal.Copy !req
233. Jane, give us a minute, would you?Copy !req
234. The crime scene.Copy !req
235. I sent the DNA samples to the labCopy !req
236. for testing a few days ago.Copy !req
237. The samples never arrived at the lab.Copy !req
238. Delayed or lost?Copy !req
239. The samples never arrived.Copy !req
240. And who is the one person with the power
to get in the way of something like that?Copy !req
241. Look, Collins, I'm big enough
to admit that you had a point.Copy !req
242. But you and me...Copy !req
243. is about as wide as my
circle of trust goes right now.Copy !req
244. Well, you were dating the murder victim,Copy !req
245. so my circle of trust
is staying put for right now.Copy !req
246. What are you thinking about?Copy !req
247. Eh, my old man had
a bad episode today.Copy !req
248. You know, my dad
was one of the first peopleCopy !req
249. that Samantha recruited
to help build this place?Copy !req
250. He had the subsurface geologic experience.Copy !req
251. He knew how to find seams in the earth.Copy !req
252. But his biggest contribution was me.Copy !req
253. by Extreme playing on stereo]Copy !req
254. His hand-picked man in chargeCopy !req
255. who could open up all
of Lady Liberty's precious resourcesCopy !req
256. for whatever she needed.Copy !req
257. - Can I ask you a question?
- Hm?Copy !req
258. Did you vote for me?Copy !req
259. - No.
- Oh.Copy !req
260. You came off like the spoiled
moron son of a billionaire.Copy !req
261. Don't you dare.Copy !req
262. Wow.Copy !req
263. Cal, can I be honest with you?Copy !req
264. That was sugarcoated?Copy !req
265. No matter what your father
did to get you here,Copy !req
266. you have shouldered
an unimaginable burden.Copy !req
267. This is still your presidency.Copy !req
268. You can make of it whatever you want.Copy !req
269. So, you're saying if
you could do it again,Copy !req
270. you would vote for me?Copy !req
271. I am sayingCopy !req
272. that I have since discovered
you have certain...Copy !req
273. - practices and policies I quite enjoy.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
274. I wonder what those are.Copy !req
275. Hey, does my dad have a nickname for you?Copy !req
276. - A nickname?
- Yeah.Copy !req
277. Other than the occasional condescendingCopy !req
278. "sweetheart" or "darling," no.Copy !req
279. No nickname. Why?Copy !req
280. He's been calling Pace
a nickname for a while— "Sniper."Copy !req
281. - Hm.
- I don't know, it's weird.Copy !req
282. Yeah.Copy !req
283. It's hard to be a sniper
in a world without real guns.Copy !req
284. God, I miss it.Copy !req
285. Yeah? What's that?Copy !req
286. Guns.Copy !req
287. The weight of them, you know?Copy !req
288. - Okay.
- Not just someCopy !req
289. orange rubber taser.Copy !req
290. You really think people this powerfulCopy !req
291. would actually leave themselves
defenseless?Copy !req
292. continues softly playing]Copy !req
293. What are you talking about?Copy !req
294. Yeah, I can't really talk about it.Copy !req
295. Cal, I'm the special agent in charge.Copy !req
296. If there are guns down here,
I need to know about them.Copy !req
297. - I got some work to do.
- Wait, Cal.Copy !req
298. The aquifer's acting
up or some shit.Copy !req
299. Are you fucking serious right now?Copy !req
300. This is still an illicit affair.Copy !req
301. Cal, you do realize that— that this is...Copy !req
302. You...Copy !req
303. This is more for me.Copy !req
304. You know that, right?Copy !req
305. I can't do this right now.Copy !req
306. Billy!Copy !req
307. - Hey, man, you in there?
- Billy?Copy !req
308. Billy, man, you there?Copy !req
309. Billy?Copy !req
310. Hey.Copy !req
311. No, no, no, Billy.Copy !req
312. - Jane.
- Oh, my God.Copy !req
313. No, Jane. Jane, he's gone.Copy !req
314. - No! Billy, no!
- Listen, please—Copy !req
315. Yeah, I'm, uh, A— Agent Collins.Copy !req
316. It's, um...Copy !req
317. I'm at the home of Agent Billy Pace.Copy !req
318. Uh, h—Copy !req
319. Agent down.Copy !req
320. Uh, h—Copy !req
321. He's dead.Copy !req
322. I— I don't understand.Copy !req
323. I was with him last night.
He— he was maybe a little off,Copy !req
324. but... I don't know, not really himself.Copy !req
325. But he brought me a sparkler.Copy !req
326. I'm so sorry, Jane.Copy !req
327. I mean, we argued a tiny bit,
but I don't think that that would—Copy !req
328. Oh God, why did he do this?Copy !req
329. "Sniper."Copy !req
330. "Lost at sea."
What the fuck does that mean?Copy !req
331. Restricted access?Copy !req
332. I've got top fucking
presidential clearance, motherfucker.Copy !req
333. The fuck...?Copy !req
334. As you can see,
there's nothing left.Copy !req
335. Radiation levels are still very high.Copy !req
336. We're taking a big risk
being exposed this long.Copy !req
337. Are you there?
Did you hear what I said?Copy !req
338. We found someone. A woman.Copy !req
339. Where did she come from?Copy !req
340. We don't know.
She can only speak—Copy !req
341. I think it's Creole,Copy !req
342. but maybe someone
from the city can translate?Copy !req
343. I need you to keep her thereCopy !req
344. until I can speak to the others.Copy !req
345. We can't leave her out here.Copy !req
346. We're bringing her back.Copy !req
347. You're not to do that,
do you understand?Copy !req
348. That is final!Copy !req
349. - I found them.
- And?Copy !req
350. It's like you said.
They got someone with 'em.Copy !req
351. They're coming back here?Copy !req
352. Yeah. Less than a day away.Copy !req
353. Then you need to do
what we discussed.Copy !req
354. Agent Pace, take them out.Copy !req
355. That's an order. If you can't comply,Copy !req
356. I'll find someone who will,
but don't bother coming back.Copy !req
357. - Hello there.
- Your Honor.Copy !req
358. I mean, not—
uh, not Your Honor.Copy !req
359. What is— what is it?Copy !req
360. - Uh, Mr. President!
- Cal is fine.Copy !req
361. If I wanted to make a mixtape,
is that possible?Copy !req
362. Yeah, uh, yes, we have the...Copy !req
363. music library. Thousands and thousands
of albumsCopy !req
364. in various formats
with listening stations—Copy !req
365. Terrific, terrific. Where would that be?Copy !req
366. Straight ahead and up the stairs.Copy !req
367. Thank you very much.Copy !req
368. And great work you're doing here.Copy !req
369. The library's the jewel of the city.Copy !req
370. playing in headphones]Copy !req
371. Does patient-doctor confidentiality
still exist down here?Copy !req
372. Of course, yes.Copy !req
373. Confidentially, then,
if ever, for some reason...Copy !req
374. we can't talk anymore 'cause I'm, uh...Copy !req
375. let's just say unavailable...Copy !req
376. you're gonna wanna look at someone.Copy !req
377. - I— I don't...
- Out of everyone on my detail,Copy !req
378. Xavier Collins is the only one
I really trust.Copy !req
379. So, you're gonna
want to discuss it with him.Copy !req
380. It's nice to see you
out of your bathrobe, Cal.Copy !req
381. I know what you did, Samantha.Copy !req
382. I accessed the files about the expedition.Copy !req
383. A decision had to be made, and I made it.Copy !req
384. - To be a murderer?
- Every indicationCopy !req
385. is that the surface
of the planet is uninhabitable.Copy !req
386. People need to know
that there are survivors,Copy !req
387. that their people could be alive up there.Copy !req
388. And then what?Copy !req
389. They go searching, whatever the fuck
that looks like,Copy !req
390. letting others know where we are?Copy !req
391. - It's a death sentence.
- That's their decision.Copy !req
392. Not yours.Copy !req
393. - And I'm gonna tell 'em the truth.
- No, you're not.Copy !req
394. I'm the president!Copy !req
395. Don't you ever fucking
tell me what I can or cannot do,Copy !req
396. you understand me?Copy !req
397. - If I decide to tell—
- What?Copy !req
398. Say it to my face.Copy !req
399. I wanna see what it looks like
when you have balls... sir.Copy !req
400. It's fine.Copy !req
401. We're fine.Copy !req
402. playing softly in bar]Copy !req
403. Pace took a dose of fentanylCopy !req
404. no one could mistake for recreational.Copy !req
405. Coroner's ruling it a suicide.Copy !req
406. Billy was trying to warn me.
He knew something.Copy !req
407. About her.Copy !req
408. So, first Cal, then Billy.Copy !req
409. It was her.Copy !req
410. - Tequila, neat.
- Okay.Copy !req
411. He was like a little brother to me. Billy.Copy !req
412. I was in love with him. Cal.Copy !req
413. Neat.Copy !req
414. So, what are we gonna do?
Sit here and drink our feelings?Copy !req
415. That's an option.Copy !req
416. Or... we take her down.Copy !req
417. It's gonna be hard taking

491. I averaged two books a week
for my entire life,Copy !req
492. and now, all I can read is poetry.Copy !req
493. It's the only thing that'll stay
in my brain fromCopy !req
494. start to finish.Copy !req
495. Hm.Copy !req
496. My wife, she was an
English teacher. High school.Copy !req
497. She loved teaching this poem.Copy !req
498. Darkness. Lord Byron.Copy !req
499. My wife said it was one of the few poemsCopy !req
500. that actually got her kids
to sit up in their seats.Copy !req
501. I remember.Copy !req
502. Yeah.Copy !req
503. I remember her giving you
that bookmark for Christmas.Copy !req
504. All the luxuries we had,Copy !req
505. and that's the one thing
you held onto all this time.Copy !req
506. Yeah.Copy !req
507. - Yeah.
- Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?Copy !req
508. What would she thought of all this?Copy !req
509. She would be grateful
that her son was alive.Copy !req
510. Mm.Copy !req
511. She and I met in college.Copy !req
512. My family didn't approve of her,Copy !req
513. and hers could not make
head or tails of me.Copy !req
514. So, our courtship had to be a secret.Copy !req
515. And this was our little signal, you see?Copy !req
516. 'Cause I would— I would slip flowersCopy !req
517. into whatever she was reading
so that I could be sureCopy !req
518. that she knew as soon as we graduatedCopy !req
519. and I— and I found my—
my place in the business,Copy !req
520. that I would marry her.Copy !req
521. Every flower was a secret.Copy !req
522. And then, when it came timeCopy !req
523. to build the biggest secret of all,Copy !req
524. the great secret that would
carry on the history of mankind,Copy !req
525. I kept this symbol alive for her.Copy !req
526. So, when you ask, what would she think,Copy !req
527. I, I, I think that you have
confused yourself...Copy !req
528. about why I did this.Copy !req
529. I built this for you and for Jeremy.Copy !req
530. And I built it for her.Copy !req
531. Can I ask you something, Dad?Copy !req
532. 'Cause I may be in a bit
of danger right now,Copy !req
533. and I need to know.Copy !req
534. I did everything
you asked of me in this life.Copy !req
535. My life was your chess piece.Copy !req
536. And I delivered.Copy !req
537. I led as big a life as a man can live,Copy !req
538. and I hated every fucking moment of it.Copy !req
539. But I did it.Copy !req
540. For you.Copy !req
541. So, does any of it...Copy !req
542. Have I ever made you proud?Copy !req
543. You never did anything
I didn't do for you.Copy !req
544. "And the crowd was famished by degrees..."Copy !req
545. - Dad, there's a thing I need—
- Hey, listen.Copy !req
546. Um, there's something awful
I need to tell you.Copy !req

548. Uncle Billy, he's gone.Copy !req
549. He's dead.Copy !req
550. - What?

551. but, um, there's something
I gotta take care of,Copy !req
552. and I need you to do exactly what I ask
right now, okay?Copy !req
553. Go upstairs and get
your brother, pack a bag,Copy !req
554. - whatever you can put into a backpack.
- Why, what's happening?Copy !req
555. Extra clothes, James' toothbrush,
maybe a few books to read.Copy !req
556. Dad, what are you talking about?Copy !req
557. 'Cause I need your help, Presley.Copy !req
558. I need you to be in control,Copy !req
559. and I need you to be strong, okay?Copy !req
560. Uncle Billy's gone? Like, this is real?Copy !req
561. Yeah, come here.Copy !req
562. I know, baby.Copy !req
563. I love you.Copy !req
564. And I'm asking a lot of you.Copy !req
565. I know, I wouldn't put you through this—Copy !req
566. It's okay. Dad, go.Copy !req
567. Do what you have to do.Copy !req
568. Okay.Copy !req
569. Hey, Carl.Copy !req
570. I need to call in that favor.Copy !req
571. It's gonna be a bit more
than a sourdough starter.Copy !req
572. What the hell is wrong with you, huh?Copy !req
573. Why did you do that?Copy !req
574. Grandpa, you scared the shit out of her!Copy !req
575. Who?Copy !req
576. Don't play it like that.Copy !req
577. I'm not playing it like anything, Cal.Copy !req
578. I'm not my fucking dad! O—Copy !req
579. Never mind.Copy !req
580. You were right the other night.Copy !req
581. You were right, Cal.Copy !req
582. What was I right about?Copy !req
583. All of it.Copy !req
584. All of it.Copy !req
585. Your mother wanted to name you Arthur,Copy !req
586. after her grandfather.Copy !req
587. "Too soft," I said.Copy !req
588. Not— not a great man's name.Copy !req
589. But Cal Bradford, now, that's a...Copy !req
590. that's a name for a leader,
a leader of men.Copy !req
591. I am not proud of anything I did.Copy !req
592. But I am so very proud of you.Copy !req
593. And I am so very sorry, Son.Copy !req
594. I'm sorry too, Dad.Copy !req
595. I'm sorry for what I said to you.Copy !req
596. I forgive you for everything.Copy !req
